Chapter 438 Purging the Rivers and Lakes (Middle) The Emei faction is undoubtedly the largest and strongest sect in the area of Mount Emei, with a long history, profound heritage, thriving people, many masters, and the grandmaster "Demon Sword Immortal" Miao Xuzi is in charge, not to mention Mount Emei, that is, the entire rivers and lakes are all forces that can be ranked in the forefront.However, the Emei faction is not the only sect of the Emeishan generation, in addition to the Emei faction, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized sects in Mount Emei and its surroundings.Of course, these sects, whether they are famous or powerful, are far from being comparable to the Emei faction.However, there are three schools that have recently begun to change, namely Fuxian Temple, Huazang Temple, and Jindingmen.The first two are Buddhist temples, there have always been only a few monks who protect the courtyard, and there is no systematic martial arts inheritance of their own, and the little novice is only the most common simplified Arhat boxing to strengthen the body, and the two temples combined, there are not a few second-rate masters.In the early years, Jindingmen was also a relatively powerful sect in Mount Emei, and even once had the hope of challenging the hegemony of the Emei faction, but after all, the foundation was not enough, after several first-class masters of the sect passed away due to various circumstances, Jindingmen also collapsed, and there was no first-class master, let alone compete with the Emei faction.In recent months, though, things have changed.Fuxian Temple and Huazang Temple ushered in the monks of Shaolin, it is said that many years ago the two temples had sent wandering monks to Shaolin to seek scriptures, so now Shaolin sent people to send a lot of scriptures, most of these scriptures are naturally Buddhist scriptures, but there are also a lot of martial arts secrets.The so-called martial arts in the world out of Shaolin, but not just talking, on martial arts cheats, if Shaolin is the second, there is no sect in the world that dares to say the first.Moreover, in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion, in addition to the mastery of Buddhism, there are also a large number of martial arts secrets of other sects.Many times, after the Shaolin monks killed those so-called evil masters, if they got the cultivation cheats they brought with them, they would bring them back to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.And some monks who are obsessed with martial arts, after fighting with masters of other sects, often have opinions and opinions on the martial arts of other sects, which are recorded on paper and hidden in the pavilion.Therefore, Shaolin's background in martial arts is quite terrifying.The martial arts cheats sent by Shaolin this time even have several martial arts in Shaolin's seventy-two stunts.And it's not just cheats, Shaolin also sent three senior monks from the Damo Academy to come over and guide in Fuxian Temple and Huazang Temple for ten years.This has a great impact, and there are a large number of people who are interested in martial arts in the surrounding areas who run to Mount Emei, wanting to enter the two temples as lay disciples or even become monks directly.The incense of the two temples also flourished a lot, and the female dependents of the official family went up the mountain to burn incense and donated a large amount of silver to repair the temple.Later, news came out that the female dependent, who had donated a large sum of silver, was the wife of a political officer in the Sichuan Political Envoy Department.As a result, the female relatives of officials all over Sichuan began to compete to burn incense to Mount Emei.There are more people burning incense, more dignitaries and nobles, and the incense of the two temples is vigorous, which brings not only financial wealth, but also an increase in influence.And all of this obviously started after the arrival of the people of Shaolin Temple.If Shaolin did this in the past, it would be provoking Emei, which is tantamount to stepping on the line, and it is impossible for the Emei faction to allow it.But now it is different from the past, and the Buddhism and Taoism that were very miserable in the Jianwen Dynasty have been completely turned over in the Yongle Dynasty.In particular, Shaolin Temple and Tanyuan Temple, the two temples that made great efforts in the Battle of Jingyan, are no longer just ordinary Jianghu sects.On the contrary, the Emei faction, because the "Demon Slaying Sword Immortal" Miao Xuzi failed to attack and kill Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingzhou, and he has been a little worried about retaliation during this time, worried about retaliation.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shaolin's sudden strong support for the two temples of Mount Emei must have the meaning of the imperial court behind it.If the imperial court wants to engage in the Emei faction in this way, to be honest, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.Otherwise, with the matter involved in the Battle of Jingjing by the Emei faction, the emperor really wants to investigate it, and if he is accused of rebellion, the entire Emei faction will be finished.So now, for Shaolin's behavior of clearly stepping on the boundary and forcibly reaching out to Mount Emei, the Emei faction's choice is to turn a blind eye.But at the same time, another sect in Mount Emei, Jindingmen, also suddenly began to rise, the head Zhao Guodong had been stumbling on the second-rate master for more than 20 years, and it seemed unlikely to break through the first-class, but recently it was said that he had got some kind of panacea, and he suddenly became a quasi-first-class master.And in the Jinding Sect, there are also more than a dozen young but strong martial arts disciples, with second-rate and quasi-first-class skills.Soon the disciples of the Jindingmen clashed with the disciples of the Emei faction, and then the disciples of the Jindingmen were injured and the disciples of the Emei faction were captured.This kind of thing happens from time to time in the rivers and lakes, and in the end, it is usually the hard power of the sect, and the master pulls it out to compare, which side should back down, and there will naturally be a result - even if it is the so-called right way in the rivers and lakes, it has never really relied on reasoning to convince people, and it has always been whose fists are hard, and whoever speaks louder.It stands to reason that even if the Jinding Gate is a lot stronger now, it is still not enough to see in front of the Emei faction, but the number of first-class masters can be easily crushed, not to mention that there is a great master with the highest martial arts in Mount Emei, "Demon Slaying Sword Immortal", behind him.But the development of this matter was beyond the expectations of the Emei faction, when the people of the Emei faction went to Jindingmen to ask for people, they found that Emei Mountain except for the other sects of the Emei faction, all sent people over, and even including several senior monks sent by Shaolin to Fuxian Temple and Huazang Temple were present, looking like they wanted to uphold justice.There are many battles in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, and there is no closed-circuit television and surveillance video in this era, which can be called up and analyzed one by one.The result must be that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and they will only think that they are reasonable.What's more, in terms of results, the disciples of the Jinding Gate were more seriously injured, and the place where the conflict occurred was extremely close to the Jinding Gate.What was originally a skirmish between the Emei faction and the Jindingmen suddenly seemed to have turned into a confrontation and crusade against the Emei faction by other sects in the entire Emeishan area.The disciples of the Emei faction naturally didn't arrive, and the few masters of the Emei faction who had gone to the Jinding Gate with great momentum could only return to the sect in the end and report to the head of the sect.The head of the Emei faction knows that this matter is not simple, if it is just a simple conflict between the rivers and lakes, if you really want to fight, then please come out with the "Demon Slaying Sword Immortal".But if you do it, there may be even greater disasters to come.So her plan was originally to give in to Jindingmen, give some compensation, apologize, and bring the disciple back.Anyway, the injury of the disciple of Jindingmen was not to the point of being disabled or dying, and as the head of the Emei faction to lead people, she was already giving enough face.But what she didn't expect was that this matter somehow reached the ears of Miao Xuzi, the "Demon Slaying Sword Immortal", and she went directly to the Jinding Gate with her sword.
