"Taoism is roughly divided into two factions, Dan Dao and Fu Seal, and the same sect of Tianshi Dao and Zheng are the descendants of Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they belong to the Fu Seal School. Later www.biquge.info Tianshi Tao was based on Qin and Shu, absorbed the doctrine of the Dan Taoist school and became the master of Taoism, and passed down the sects such as Zhongnan Mountain, Dingjun Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain. ”

Zhengyi moved to Jiangxi to take Longhu Mountain as the foundation and continued the doctrine of the Fu Seal School. ”

As for the Wudang that arose later, it was also a combination of the New Dandao School of the Fu Seal School, and Maoshan belonged to the Fu Seal School together with Zheng. ”

"The Ming Emperor worshiped the Dan Dao faction, so the Heavenly Master Dao and the Wudang faction gained power. And Zhengyi and Maoshan are declining. Tang Jinyi said: "You are fortunate to have eaten Zhang Tianshi's elixir, you should know the magic in it." ”

Chang Wei shook his head and sighed, and asked, "Jinyi, do you say that there are really people in the world who have become immortals and attained enlightenment?"

Cheng Xian won the Tao Chang Wei naturally didn't believe it, he just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jinyi said solemnly: "Different paths lead to the same end!"

Chang Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"

Tang Jinyi said leisurely: "In fact, the ultimate goal of martial arts training is the same as that of cultivation, both are to pursue that ethereal avenue. ”

Chang Wei was surprised: "What do you say?"

"The martial arts on the rivers and lakes all come from Taoism, Moism, and Buddhism. Cultivating martial arts and wandering the rivers and lakes is actually the most inferior, and the truly enlightened masters often comprehend the truth of the great road in the famous mountains and rivers and the blessed land of the heavens and seek transcendence. ”

Chang Wei was stunned for a long time before he said, "So the real master is a living immortal like Zhang Tianshi?"

Tang Jinyi said excitedly: "It should be, you look at the martial arts handed down by Zhang Tianshi, so that you can get close to a first-class master in just half a year, and I only took a few days to obtain internal skills that have not been achieved for decades." ”

"This misunderstanding is really too big, this is really not passed on by Zhang Tianshi. Chang Wei was speechless for a while.

Chang Wei laughed and said: "That's troublesome, we just killed the two grandsons of Fei Hongzi, the living immortal of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, if Fei Hongzi comes to take revenge, I don't think the two of us can run." ”

Tang Jinyi also smiled: "Who knows us? He can only find out the names of Huang Wuxing and Dongfang Bai at most." It's strange why these two Maoshan Taoist priests came to Donggang to disguise themselves as nobodies? Could it be that they are also for treasure?"

"Probably, whatever. Anyway, we're almost done with our injuries, it's time to leave, and by the way, let's see what kind of magic the brothers are practicing. "They have already figured out the location of the earth gate, and now Chang Wei is most interested in Chen Qiwen and Chen Qiwu's magical Maoshan sect martial arts.

A quarter of an hour or two later, the weapons and silver coins in the fortress were looted, and Ye Huiyun sent a few honest and reliable disciples to return the same way with the loot and move back to the ship, while the rest continued to advance.

After a few miles of travel, I came across another fortress, which had been beaten down by another disciple of the Earth Gate, and there were a total of thirty or forty people in one place, and the leader of this time was replaced by the Uncle Ning who I had seen that day.

After capturing two fortresses one after another, Ye Huiyun only had six disciples left, and Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi did not rush to kill in these two battles, but only used superb archery skills to shoot the enemy, and through this half-day battle, Ye Huiyun paid more and more attention to Chang Wei and the two.

At this time, it was already noon, so I rested and ate on the spot, and reorganized the personnel to replenish their weapons.

Soon, Ning Shibo passed the order, and the team moved forward quickly, and the target was Donggang.

This half-day attack had already alarmed the Jinge Society, and all the artillery doors on the Donggang fortress were opened, and the fortress walls were lined with swords and guns, and they were already in a position of being ready for battle.

In the place where Chang Wei's group advanced to two or three miles, dozens of Dimen disciples also appeared in the north, but the Dimen did not take a strong attack, and Ning Shibo and Ye Huiyun looked anxiously at the Dongfang Sea waiting for something.

"Fleet!" Chang Wei immediately thought of the Dimen fleet that transported them, and before the thought fell, a whimpering horn sounded on the sea in the distance, and the men around him shouted excitedly.

Chang Wei craned his neck and waited for a while, and a mast and sail appeared in the distance quickly, and gradually three large ships in the southeast direction headed towards Donggang.

"Four hundred big ships!" These three big ships Chang Wei had never seen on the dock of the Earth Gate, "It seems that the Earth Gate has another stronghold!"

At the same time, six hundred-material clippers rushed out due east, and the three main battleships converged into one, and the cheers on the shore became louder the closer the fleet got to the shore, and the faces of the two old men on the bow gradually became clear.

"The master of the Earth Gate, it seems that this time the Earth Gate is the main force out!"

The draft of the warship was extremely deep, and there was a lookout on the mast, and a huge ram bar could be faintly seen in the bow buried under the water. The sails on the battleship kept adjusting their direction, and dozens of large oars stretched out neatly under the side of the ship but did not row, Chang Wei knew that this was an emergency moment, used to turn and accelerate.

Nine warships lined up to block the wide sea, and aimed their bows at the East Harbor Pier.

"With only bow and stern guns, the old warships that relied on ramming were far worse than the Franc battleships with side-chord guns. Chang Wei secretly observed the Dimen battleship and made an evaluation in his heart.

As the battleship approached, the atmosphere of war in the air became more and more solemn, although Chang Wei was used to seeing warships and experienced war himself, but it was the first time to participate in naval battles, and the victory or defeat of both sides had nothing to do with him, but the expectations in his heart were more than nervous.

As the battleship approached a distance of four or five miles, the guns in the eastern harbor roared and opened fire, and two fiery red shells with long tail smoke pierced the empty sky and crashed into the water.

Under the action of the huge projectile force of gunpowder, more than ten catties of shells burst into the water, stirring up waves several feet high, and the splashing sea water made Chang Wei's sight fall into a layer of mist of water.

"Three miles is the limit of the Hongyi cannon, and the effective range of the Jin Gehui's small cannon is only one li, and there is no threat at this distance. When the mist dissipated, Chang Wei saw that the battleship was still slowly approaching, and nodded in appreciation, "Dimen has been active on the island all year round, and he has a lot of experience in artillery and naval warfare." ”

Soon the fleet approached within two miles, and the artillery on the shore at this distance was already capable of threatening the battleship, but I don't know if the artillery was not good or the gunnery of the Jin Ge Club was too poor, the landing point of the four guns was too far away from the target, and the roaring shells could not pose the slightest threat to the fleet except for the waves.

Under the artillery bombardment, the fleet crossed Chang Wei and the others on the shore, and within one mile of Donggang, the drums and trumpets on the main battleship in the middle sounded in unison, and the thick smoke of gunpowder rose instantly, and the tall and upright bow of the 400 ships sank down violently, and the surrounding sea water fluctuated rapidly and slapped against the reef not far away.

A dark red cannonball burst out of its chamber and smashed into the harbor with a thud.

Bang!

The shells crossed the shore battery, tore a low house to shreds, and flew sawdust and scattered dirt for half a day, announcing the power of the artillery.

The four guns on the shore began to return fire, and at a close distance of one mile, the accuracy was significantly improved, and the splash of the shells lifted the battleship crookedly, and the formation of the fleet became scattered.

A hurried horn sounded, and the sailors swung their long oars sharply, changing the direction of the battleship and avoiding the bombardment of the shore guns.

At the same time, the ship's guns that had calculated the angle roared in unison, the bow guns on the battleship opened fire at the same time, the eardrums of the people who were shocked by the huge roar were buzzing, and the eyes were completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and nine shells were smashed towards the port in the roar.

The shore-ship artillery battle has officially begun!
