Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 28

After talking about this, Wu Qingying said: "Forget it, my mouth is dry when I tell you these old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I also listened to stories when I was young, and I don't know the details. Why don't you read it yourself .”

Speaking of Wu Qingying stood up, she walked to the bookshelf, and after searching for a while, she took out a somewhat worn book from it, and handed it to Zhang Wuji.

After Zhang Wuji took it, the cover on it said "Xiuwen Diary".

Xiuwen, Zhang Wuji knew that it was Xiao Wu's name, and this diary should mean diary.

But Zhang Wuji still wants to complain, who is a serious person who keeps a diary.But I still couldn't hold back my curiosity and decided to take a look.

But just about to open it, but the thought of peeking at other people's diaries seems unethical.

So Zhang Wuji said to Wu Qingying: "Sister Qingying, this is the diary left by your ancestors, it doesn't look very good to me as an outsider."

Wu Qingying said with a smile at this time: "I don't want to watch it alone, I want to watch it with you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji smiled, and then he didn't refuse anymore. The two sat together and began to read the diary.

This diary is actually a memoir written by Wu Xiuwen in his later years. The first half is mostly about him, Guo Jing's family, Yang Guo, Wan Yanping and others. Anyone who has seen the Condor Heroes knows that Zhang Wuji Just skip this paragraph.

He started directly from what Wu Qingying hadn't finished describing.

After Li Qingwei rescued Wu Xiuwen, he took off his Taoist robe and, as the prince of Wanhu, covered Wu Xiuwen's family to leave.

And Yeluqi's body was properly buried under Li Qingwei's arrangement.

Wu Xiuwen learned from his mouth that Guo Jing and others were buried generously by the Mongols, so he was relieved.

Moreover, in Wu Xiuwen's diary, the identity of this Li Qingwei was detailed, which was exactly what Wu Qingying said.

Then Zhang Wuji looked at the things behind him.

Although Wu Xiuwen's family escaped from the encirclement of Xiangyang with the help of Li Qingwei.

But Wu Xiuwen is Guo Jing's second disciple and a serious criminal arrested by the Mongolian court.Kublai Khan issued a sea arrest document, arresting Wu Xiuwen everywhere.

However, Wu Xiuwen's family fled to the old land of Dali, and they still did not escape the pursuit of the Mongolian court.

In the end, after several twists and turns, he and the Zhu family fled to the Kunlun Mountains.

It was this secret cave that allowed them to escape the pursuit of those Tantric masters under the Mongolian command.

Those Mongolian experts gave up after several times of tracking and disappeared.

In the next few years, Wu Xiuwen and the ancestors of the Zhu family built a chain of manors here, and they have settled here ever since.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but nodded.

Then he turned a few pages back, and he confirmed his suspicions.

That was this Quanzhen secular disciple named Li Qingwei, the "Hundred Damaged Taoist" who made Zhang Sanfeng frown.

In fact, "Hundred Loss" is not his dao name, but just a scornful name for him by everyone in the world.

Although the Quanzhen sect advocated the resistance to the Mongols in the era of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, the elders of the older generation passed away one after another, and the new generation of disciples had to accept the reality of the change of dynasty.

Under the auspices of Hao Datong, the last Quanzhen Seventh Son, the Quanzhen Sect began to be broken into pieces, and Taoists left the Chongyang Palace one after another to avoid disaster.From then on, everyone set up their own portals to preach, hoping to make a comeback in the future.

Since then, Quanzhen Taoism has also been divided into Longmen, Huashan and other branches.Moreover, after establishing their own sect, some disciples no longer regard themselves as Taoist priests, but return to the vulgar, such as the Huashan School.But there are also those who still regard themselves as Taoists, such as the Longmen sect.

And Li Qingwei also returned to his home in Luoyang and became his own little master.

But even though he left the Quanzhen Sect, he still considers himself a Taoist layman, and except for necessary occasions, he usually wears luxurious clothes embroidered with gossip.

Because he is a noble and powerful Mongolian Han, he was favored by the Mongolian court and recruited to serve Mongolia.In order to protect his parents, wife and children, he was forced to work in the Mongolian court.

And because he wanted to inherit his father's title, after his brother's death, he married his own Mongolian aristocratic sister-in-law as his wife according to the old Mongolian practice, and accepted the wives and concubines left by his brother to complete the political marriage arranged by the Mongolian court.

And also had a daughter with his brother's concubine.

The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother.It is normal in Mongolian culture for the successor to accept the woman of his father and brother.

And the Mongols let the nobles of the Han people behave in this way, just like the Manchu "shave their hair and change clothes", they are all used to test whether the Han people accept their culture and test their loyalty.If you don't obey, you may be killed.

But in the consciousness of the Han people, this bullying of mothers and wives is an act of treason and immorality.

Therefore, Li Qingwei was despised by people all over the world.He was also given the scornful title of "Hundred Loss" by fellow martial arts practitioners on the rivers and lakes.

The full name of Baishang is "No taboo, harming others and benefiting oneself".Rather than "all kinds of negative damage".

Although no taboo is a good word in other places, but here everyone ridiculed him for marrying his sister-in-law without taboo.

As for harming others and benefiting oneself, there is no need to mention it. Although he is a Han, he has made a lot of contributions to the Song Dynasty, and even his wife is a princess of the Song Dynasty, but these things cannot be made public due to his status.In the eyes of the world, he is a traitor.

And this kind of own person hidden in the darkness cannot be understood by everyone after all.

In order to fulfill his master's last wish, Wu Xiuwen asked Li Qingwei for help.

I want to ask him to find the dragon sword, and then raise the banner of righteousness, become the leader of the world, lead the Han people to drive out the Tartars, and rebuild the artifact.

After all, he is a descendant of Li Tang, and his wife Zhao Ke is the princess of Song Dynasty.And the Li family is hereditary nobles with military power in their hands.In Wu Xiuwen's eyes, he is the most suitable person to be a leader.

But at that time, the world had been settled, and the Central Plains had suffered nearly 50 years of war from the end of the Jin Dynasty to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Han people can't afford another turmoil, and it will take several generations of people to hide their strengths and bide their time to recover.

And at that time, the Mongol Empire swept the world and reached its heyday. It had not yet declined, and there was no possibility of shaking it. Therefore, Li Qingwei understood the reason and rejected Wu Xiuwen's proposal with emotion, and persuaded him to give up the impossible. matter.

Of course, as the vested interests of the empire, the Taoist Taoist is the honorable Han of the Mongolian court.His words were not convincing in Wu Xiuwen's heart.

But out of the grace of saving his life, Wu Xiuwen had no choice but to give up.

But Taoist Baishang did not lie to prevaricate Wu Xiuwen.

His descendants, Li Siqi, Marquis of the Yuan Han Dynasty, and Li Siqi's adopted son, Zhao Qi, the descendant of the Song Dynasty clan, the father and son offered the land in Guanzhong to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, creating conditions for Xu Da to defeat Wang Baobao.It has made a great contribution to the complete expulsion of the Mongols and the consolidation of the Northwest, but this is all a later story.

After seeing the Hundred Damaged Taoist, Wu Xiuwen gradually gave up the unrealistic fantasy of restoring the rivers and mountains, and then began to retrieve the dragon sword, and then prepared to understand its secrets and create conditions for future generations to restore the Central Plains.

But it's a pity that the dragon-slaying knife has been tossed and turned in the rivers and lakes since it was lost in Xiangyang. Wu Xiuwen couldn't find it all his life, and finally died in depression.

After reading this diary, Zhang Wuji lamented the changes in the world.

But he also discovered one thing.

When he was reading books before, he always subconsciously thought that Elder Xuan Ming was a disciple of the Hundred Damage Taoist.

And from the title of Baishang and the evil deeds of the martial arts heir, he always thought that Taoist Baishang was a super villain who didn't appear in the scene.

But I didn't expect that the life of the Baishang Taoist described in Wu Xiuwen's notes, although not bright and aboveboard, was also a hero.

After all, not everyone has the heart of a great hero like Guo Jing, and the ambition to devote himself to death.

As a Mongolian honorable man with vested interests, this Taoist has done everything he can.This has not been easy.

The positions of the camps are different, but he eats the Mongolian salary but supports the enemy country. He is not a loyal minister and righteous man.But he can still be regarded as a hero who lives in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han.

Moreover, according to Wu Xiuwen's notebook, the Baishang Taoist was already a middle-aged man in his forties when he fought in Xiangyang for the final battle.From this point of view, he is of the same generation as Yang Guo and others, much older than his master Zhang Sanfeng.

And Zhang Wuji clearly remembered that He Biweng who held him hostage ten years ago was only about 50 years old.At that time, more than 30 years had passed since Taoist Baishang passed away.

As mentioned above in this diary, Taoist Baishang is a few years older than Yang Guo.At Zhang Sanfeng's 120th birthday banquet, he would be at least [-] years old if he was still alive.

Judging from this age gap, and the fact that Taoist Baishang is still unknown in the arena, and Song Yuanqiao and others don't know about it, this master should not be very active in the arena in his later years.

Therefore, the Xuanming elders should be the martial arts inheritors of Taoist Baishang several generations later, not his direct disciples.

Although Zhang Wuji had doubts in his heart, this doubt is not difficult to answer, as long as he captures the two elders of Xuanming in the future, he can ask them personally.If you don't say it, beat him until he does.
