Chapter 68 The Four Sects of Ancient Martial Arts in the World
"Yes, the other two schools are not so mysterious. This troubled era also happened to be the present life of these two major sects to support their appointed emperor and complete the great cause of dominating the world. The old monk replied.
Then he said, "Actually, the place where these two major sects are located is not a peaceful place. The Sky Gate of the East Sea Pavilion is located on a small island in the East China Sea, and it is said that the island is not far from Na Penglai Immortal Island. But it's hard to find, and you can imagine the size of the East China Sea. It is not easy to find that island in the middle of this vast sea, and if there is no one to lead the way on the sea, it is easy to get lost in this sea and easily bury in the sea. It is said that some fishermen on the coast of the East China Sea of Wuyue Kingdom once stumbled upon this small island. It is said that the island is like a fairyland, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, green mountains and green waters. But I don't know why they returned to the fishing village and told what they had seen and heard, and within a few days they died without any symptoms, and it was said that they died very peacefully, with a smile on their faces. Some people speculate that the Sky Gate is actually on that Penglai Immortal Island, but there is no confirmation of this, after all, the people who have been on that island have all died. And the Firmament Gate is the most weird of the four major sects, other sects never kill mortals in the world, but this sect is not, of course, some people speculate that these dead fishermen were not killed by the Firmament Gate, but the immortals of Penglai Immortal Island. ”
"It's so weird, could it be that the Firmament Gate and that Penglai Immortal Island really have something to do with it. What about Haotian Sect? ”
"Whether the Firmament Gate has anything to do with the legendary Penglai Immortal Island has not yet been confirmed, but there are already people in this sect. As for Haotian Sect, it is located in the desert of the Western Regions, and it is also a Jedi in the world. Compared with the other three major sects, Haotian Sect is not so mysterious, there are some martial arts people on the rivers and lakes who have been to Haotian Sect, and Yelu Zongheng, the third prince of Khitan, is indeed one of the emperors appointed by Haotian Sect, and your brother Guo Huaian is also one of the emperors. Haotian Sect has already had two protectors born, and they have arrived in Jiangzhou City in the Tang Kingdom. They are looking for Tong Cangtai, the head of the three protectors of Haotian Sect, and they want to bring back Tong Yanhu, the head of Tong Cangtai of Haotian Sect. The old monk continued.
"The people of Haotian Sect have already been born, and they have appeared in the human world." Ling Tianyun was stunned, he didn't expect that this legendary four ancient martial arts sects had already appeared. But think about it, Haotian Sect has already appointed two emperors, and if he is not alive, it will not be reasonable. He felt a little surprised that Guo Huai'an was also the emperor of Haotian Sect, but he was relieved to think about why he wanted to save Yelu Zongheng, and the same sect should also help each other. It's just that he doesn't understand why two people who are enemies of each other can become the emperors of the same sect.
"So is there an emperor appointed by the Firmament Gate, and the people from the Firmament Gate have also appeared, why haven't you heard of it?" Ling Tianyun asked the old monk about the Firmament Gate.
"Yes, the Firmament Gate has appointed an emperor, Li Hongji, the crown prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The rest doesn't seem to be there. At present, only these two major sects are involved in the great cause of the world's dispute, and the other two major sects are silent, and it seems that they have not participated in this troubled dispute. ”
"Why don't the other two Great Ancient Martial Sects get involved?"
"Maybe this is just an agreement between their four major sects, and I don't know much about the old monk."
"Why does the world's strife involve these four major sects? Could it be that in the past, once the troubled times appeared, they would appear. and help it dominate the world. If there were no participation of these four major sects, would the unification of the world be obstructed? Ling Tianyun raised a question in his heart.
"Actually, it's not all there, these four major sects have been passed down for thousands of years, of course, they have this strength, if it is an agreement between these four major sects, it is better to say that it is a game between these four major sects. These sentient beings are their pawns, and they will find talented people who are suitable to be the Son of Heaven to support them. Once they succeed in dominating the world, they will retire and retire from the world again. ”
"Oh, is there another person in history who has not gone through the support of these four major sects and completed the great cause of unification, I don't know which emperor is so powerful." As soon as Ling Tianyun heard what the old monk said, he was also interested, he wanted to know who this emperor was, he almost got rid of the shackles of the four major sects, and finished the great cause of unification and stabilized the world by himself.
"This emperor is the first emperor of the ages, the former emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He used the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion to achieve peerless hegemony. Fundamentally, he did not get any support from the four major sects, completely breaking this shackle, of course, his father was supported by Haotian Sect to become the emperor, and the world was not completely unified at that time. But it is true that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also indirectly received their help. It's just that later Haotianzong supported the crown prince Li Jiancheng as the next emperor, and later Emperor Taizong broke this shackle, and the Xuanwumen Incident finally killed his brother and younger brother. In the end, he seized power and sought a position, forcing his father to concede and achieve a hegemony. It's just, alas. Before the old monk finished speaking, he sighed and was silent for a long time.
"Later, did an accident happen again? Didn't this Haotianzong say anything, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was not their appointed emperor, but he killed their appointed emperor, and they didn't retaliate. Ling Tianyun didn't understand what the old monk meant with a sigh, he hurriedly continued to ask.
"Haotianzong has nothing, they later looked for Emperor Taizong, and found that Emperor Taizong will be able to become a generation of virtuous monarchs and have the ability to rule the world. And they did not care much more about anything, and they fled away from the world. It's just that there were some accidents later, that is, there was a female emperor in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zetian. This Heavenly Emperor secretly supported the Night Hades Palace, and finally became the only female emperor in the world for thousands of years. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty almost had a different surname and became someone else's wedding dress. ”
"And there is such a thing, why would the Night Hades do this." Ling Tianyun was shocked when he heard this, of course he knew about this First Empress of the Ages, Wu Zetian, but he didn't know that the position of the First Empress of the Ages was obtained in this way. Of course, he couldn't express any opinions on this decisive empress, but he didn't expect that there would be such a secret.
"The statement of the Night Hades Palace is that he is not used to the practice of Emperor Taizong, and wants to teach him a lesson from the Li family. In the end, the high-level leaders of the four major sects met again, so that the empress finally returned the Tang Dynasty to their descendants of the Li family. This seems to have lasted for hundreds of years. The old monk finally told the ending.
After Ling Tianyun listened, there was another storm in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a secret in this world. It is said that if you are together for a long time, you will be divided, and if you are separated for a long time, this is the common sense of heaven, but he still didn't expect that there would be a force in it. Not only can it bring about the unification of the world, but also after the unification of the world, it can also interfere, and even replace the lord of the country in the Tao Dynasty Li Jiang. It simply doesn't make sense how much force is needed.
"But fortunately, after the world is settled, the four major sects will escape from the world one after another, and no longer pay attention to all the mundane things in the world." The old monk sighed and said.
"I'm afraid it won't be so simple, how can there be such a good thing, after the world is settled, he will retire and retire again. There is no such easy thing in this world, there is no free lunch in the world. ”
For this, Ling Tianyun's first thought was that this matter was not so simple, and the emperor who had been appointed would probably have to pay a certain price in order to truly gain the support of the four great ancient martial sects.
"Yes, it's not that simple, the person they are looking for starts with someone who has a certain net worth and a certain ability. When he reaches a certain stage of cultivation, he will be completely under the orders of the sect that supports him. If the emperor is not obedient, they will not hesitate to abandon it, or even kill it. ”
"What is the purpose of the four ancient martial arts sects in doing this, and what benefits will it do to them, if they want to come out and dominate the world, then this world has already become their bag, why do they have to do more." Ling Tianyun raised another question. He didn't understand why these four major sects would do such a thing, and there must be some ulterior motives in this.
"Actually, it's just for two words." The old monk's eyes suddenly burst out with a terrifying light, as soon as Ling Tianyun came into contact with his gaze, his brain immediately went blank, if the old monk wanted to kill him with his gaze, he believed that he would not be able to escape.
He hurriedly looked away from his gaze and continued to ask, "Which two words?" ”
"Fighting for the sky, that is, the way of heaven." The old monk's gaze returned to his usual appearance, his face became flat, and he replied slowly.
"Fight for the sky, the way of heaven." Ling Tianyun muttered in his mouth, he knew that this battle for heaven was not for the other side, this battle for heaven was the way of heaven. The legendary eternal life can make people live forever, and people can live as long as the sky lives. This is just some artistic conception that appears in mythology, can people really live forever?
"Legend has it that when martial cultivation reaches a certain extreme, it can shatter the void and obtain the Heavenly Dao?" Ling Tianyun asked puzzledly, he had only occasionally heard his father mention these things, but after all, this was just a legend, and no one had really reached this step so far.
"Where is it so easy to reach the Broken Void, even if you reach the Broken Void, you may not be able to feel the Heavenly Dao. Only when you feel the way of heaven can you fly to another world, and it is said that if there are real immortals in that world, then you can truly live with the sky. The old monk replied with a wry smile.
It's just that Ling Tianyun still has a question, that is, after those ancient martial sects help one of their emperors to complete the great cause of the unification of the world, how will they ask him to help him win the Heavenly Dao, this process is obviously very secretive. He also thought of Duo'er, who was a member of the Night Hades Palace, why she appeared in Whitewater City again. But he still didn't ask about this, and even if he did, the old monk might not tell him now.
"Master, you have said so much to the little one. The small one is just a small person, and the masters of those sects can't solve the problem, and now the little one doesn't understand, why did you choose the small one. Ling Tianyun suddenly changed the subject, he had been trying to figure out what kind of purpose this old monk was in following him. He is still so weak, for such a huge ancient martial arts sect, he is the little ant under the mountain, and those ancient martial arts sects are the mountains. An ant cannot reach the peak of the mountain even if it is poor in its lifetime.
"Hmph." The old monk glanced at him and said, "Why be discouraged, although those ancient martial arts sects are unattainable, you can't reach them out of your hand." Yes, in this way, you know that the old monk will have some purpose for following you, and being able to think of this layer does not mean that you are not a dull person. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, but do you have the guts, if you have the guts, the old monk I will give you a creation. ”
"Don't, master, you should find someone else, I don't have big ambitions, I just want to live this life peacefully, if I can be a little scout for a lifetime under my father's army, it would be great."
Ling Tianyun hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't want to get any of this old monk's creation. He could imagine how difficult it would be, what ancient martial arts sect, what great cause of unification of the world, and what heavenly way of immortality, all of them had nothing to do with him. Although he wants to achieve a career, it is a career, not a great cause. In the past two days with the old monk, the old monk intentionally or unintentionally revealed a message, that is, he wanted to take him as an apprentice. But every time he understated it, to be honest, he was also moved by the old monk's miraculous cultivation. But he still felt that this old monk must have some bad motives for accepting himself as an apprentice, so he didn't agree, and besides, he still didn't know anything about the identity of this old monk, and he wouldn't give his life to a factor that he couldn't control.
Although he knew that the old monk was really good to him, the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes were like a family routine, and they talked to him eloquently. Sometimes he would point out his martial arts cultivation, and also told him about these ancient martial secrets, heavenly ways and the like, but he still didn't fully trust this old monk.
