In the Heavens

Those who count people, people always count.

The theme of the rivers and lakes will always be disputes. Once the pressure from the imperial court is reduced, the various factions will start to fight each other again.

Shaolin has his eye on Wudang, and Wudang is also not going to let Shaolin go. Whether it is the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, or the grievances accumulated for hundreds of years, there needs to be an end.

It's just that everyone is a king player, and the idle methods have no real meaning except to scare the snake.

Everyone is staring at each other to make mistakes, and no one dares to act rashly. On the contrary, a strange balance has been formed.

The boss and the second child confronted each other, and the Huashan faction, who was the third child for a while, became an outsider instead, making Li Mu feel a little at a loss as to what to do.

But the biggest advantage of the traversers is that they have a strong heart. If you have nothing to do, just sit down and watch the excitement.

For example: The Sun Moon God Sect set up a big banner of recruiting troops in Guangdong, Guangxi, and all factions in the southern martial arts were terrified. It is said that they have gone to Wudang Mountain to ask the boss to preside over the overall situation.

Another example: Zuo Lengchan, who was so awesome in the original book, has recently started to make small moves. In order to break through the suppression of Shaolin Temple, he simply put down his figure and mixed in the private salt trade.

According to the information collected by the Huashan faction, the Songshan faction has now hooked up with Zhou Wangfu and Yiwangfu, and the three together control almost half of the private salt business in the Heluo area.

If he wasn't killed by someone, it was because Zuo Lengchan knew how to behave. Although the Huashan faction did not participate, the benefits were given to the preparation.

For the sake of profit, Li Mu resolutely acted as if he hadn't seen anything. Everyone in the Zhu family can poach their own corners, so why should he, an outsider, be so troublesome?

Because of the private sale of salt, the Songshan faction also had conflicts with Shaolin, and finally the Wuyuejian faction reached an agreement with Shaolin Temple.

If the facts were not in front of his eyes, Li Mu would not have believed that those kind-hearted monks were secretly engaged in bloody salt trading.

There's nothing to blame but these businesses are so lucrative that one gets lost in them.

In fact, this is not the most surprising. According to the information collected by the Huashan School, some eminent monks in Shaolin still hold shares in brothels and casinos, and even...

Whether it is an individual behavior or a temple behavior, no one knows. Anyway, we are all smart people, and we will not pierce this layer of window paper.

After all, every sect has a dark side. If they expose each other's shortcomings, how can the banner of decency be maintained?

It is gratifying that the imperial court's counter-insurgency army finally moved, but unfortunately, before the show started, King Anhua played himself to death first.

Facts once again prove that if you want to rebel, you must first learn how to draw a pie, and you have to work hard in the direction of the pie, so that everyone can see hope.

The closed-door King Anhua may not have understood this point, but his subordinates who followed him in rebellion did.

Everyone is a master with basic common sense. We know very well that the constant natural disasters in the northwest can only forge ahead indomitably, and stopping is a dead end.

Then, with the efforts of Jin Yiwei, several generals in the rebel army rebelled again, and directly opened and closed the door to welcome the imperial court's counter-insurgency army.

I thought I could watch a battle between dragons and tigers, but I didn't expect it to end in an anticlimactic manner.

As a loser, the fate of King Anhua can be imagined. Li Mu didn't have the heart to sympathize with this idiot, and now he was busy preparing for the wedding.

"There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is to have no descendants."

People in the martial arts are not immune to customs, and they have to arrange it when they reach age. It's just that most of the marriages of people in the martial arts follow the principle that the more low-key, the better.

Unless the wife is also a member of the martial arts, she usually won't do it. The purpose is to hide the identities of the family members as much as possible, so as to avoid being involved in the Jianghu feud.

Liu Zhengfeng's iron and simple manner in the original book is really different in the martial arts world.

According to the normal operation, if the family members are not from the martial arts world, and it is too late for everyone to hide, how can they take the initiative to expose it?

If you really want to wash your hands in the golden basin, you can do it in the mountain gate. No matter how overbearing the Songshan faction is, it is impossible to take down the entire Hengshan faction.

It was carried out in his own lair, even if the incident was exposed, it was the Hengshan faction cleaning up the sect on their own, and there was absolutely no reason for outsiders to issue orders.

Looking at the pile of invitations that needed to be filled in by himself, Li Mu secretly complained. When did I have so many friends from the world?

"Junior Sister, I still have sect affairs to deal with, so I will fill in these invitations for you!"

This kind of thing is not easy to let others do it for you, but it is not a big problem to ask Ning Zhong to fill it out. Even if it is passed on, it is not considered rude.

Ning Zhong said a little shyly: "Brother, go and do your work first, as long as I'm here."

A virtuous fiancée is good, and she won't ask too many questions, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

It's not that Li Mu wants to be lazy, it's really his own words, and it's not suitable to use them to meet people. If outsiders see it, it is easy to mistakenly think that the head of the Huashan School is an illiterate.

These trivial matters can be done by others, but Li Mu has to personally take care of the specific wedding preparations.

In a sense, people in the rivers and lakes are tragic. Even if it's a big happy event in life, parents can't be around, and they can't even let them know.

After coming to this world for so long, Li Mu has never returned home once. According to the memory in my mind, since I started at the age of seven, I have lost contact with my family.

Even if he became the head of a faction, the two sides still haven't contacted each other. It can be seen that everyone is a cautious master.

It's also a good thing, no contact means no bad news. If the family behind him really asks for help from the clansmen who have gone deep into the rivers and lakes, it means that they have encountered a big trouble that they cannot solve by themselves.

Even if they can help solve the problem, but the relationship is exposed, which means being involved in the vendetta.

Even though Li Mu didn't make much trouble, there are quite a few enemies in the rivers and lakes. Whether it's good or evil, or the court, they all want to seize the weakness of him, the leader of the Huashan School.

At times like this, the more indifferent you can be, the better for both parties.

Fortunately, Li Mu was not the original owner, and he had feelings for his relatives whom he had never had contact with, so naturally it was not sentimental.

...

Following the winding path, Li Mu came to Zhou Qingyun's small courtyard again. At this moment, the bamboo forest courtyard has become a small Taoist temple.

It's just that on top of the layout, some of the original style is still retained, which is slightly inconsistent with the Taoist temple, giving people a feeling of nondescriptness.

In the small Taoist temple at this moment, there are a few more false Taoist priests, who are discussing Taoism with Zhou Qingyun.

Perhaps it was at a wonderful place, even Li Mu, an uninvited guest, was ignored.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu bit the bullet and stepped forward to interrupt, "Disciple, I'm paying my respects to Master, and I've seen some uncles."

This time, he didn't declare his name. As the leader of Huashan Sect, Li Mu's popularity is already high enough.

Zhou Qingyun said with a smile: "No Mu, you came just in time. We are talking about Taoism and nature, and you should also talk about your own opinions to open their eyes."

"Tao follows nature", upon hearing these four words, Li Mu knew why several people couldn't stop arguing.

Such a big proposition, I am afraid that it will go on for a long time, and there may not be a unified result.

If you really figure out this issue, you don't dare to say anything else, at least you don't have to worry about it before you are born. If you stay in the world of Xianxia, ​​you can look forward to longevity.

Master still has to give face. After thinking about it for a while, Li Mu directly expressed his opinion: "Everything in the world and the changes in the world are Tao and nature.

What we see with our eyes and what we understand with our minds are all Taoism and nature, which can be said to be all-encompassing. "

From the eyes of several people, Li Mu knew that the answer he gave did not win everyone's approval. Without giving everyone a chance to argue, Li Mu continued to add:

"Master, we will talk about the discussion of the Dao later. The disciple came to you this time mainly to ask you to preside over the wedding ceremony for the disciple."

There is no way, people who practice Taoism can't afford to provoke them. Since becoming obsessed with Taoism, Zhou Qingyun seemed to be a different person, becoming indifferent to the affairs of the sect.

Even the status of Li Mu, a precious apprentice, in his heart plummeted. A few years ago, she had clamored to prepare for his wedding, but in the end, she forgot all about it.

Do as the Romans do, the marriage cannot be done without elders presiding over it. In this era of heaven and earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers, it is reasonable and reasonable for parents not to come forward, but for the master to be on top.

Before Zhou Qingyun could reply, several elders who participated in the discussion had already congratulated: "Congratulations to the master!"

It can be seen that everyone is still very satisfied with Li Mu. If Li Mu hadn't managed the Huashan School in an orderly manner, they would not have had the opportunity to come to practice Taoism.

Essentially, they are all for leisure. When the cultivation base reaches the bottleneck, the disciples will take care of the affairs in the sect, and there are no major events happening in the rivers and lakes, so naturally there will be free time.

Zhou Qingyun nodded, and said with emotion: "Well, time flies so fast! I didn't expect you to be married in a flash.

Don't worry, I will host the teacher's meeting at that time. If you need something, just ask the teacher, don't be cautious. "

If there is no preparation for replacement, Li Mu's status is different now, and he is marrying the daughter of the previous head, so all affairs will naturally be handled by the door.

Pausing for a while, Zhou Qingyun added: "Recently, as a teacher, I deeply feel my own inadequacy, blindly cultivating behind closed doors, and the progress is really too slow.

Therefore, as a teacher, I will meet with several of your uncles and uncles to travel around the world, looking for fellows to exchange ideas. After attending your wedding, we will set off. "

After a little brainstorming, Li Mu knew what was going on. It's nothing more than asking a lot of Taoist cultivators in the mountains, and people are starting to get impatient.

Everyone wants to save face, so it's naturally embarrassing to keep catching these sheep on the mountain and keep plucking their wool.

Traveling the world is different. There are so many hidden Taoist sects in the world, and it's not inconspicuous to spend a little time in one family, and you can also lead a little bit of great rivers and mountains by the way.

If it wasn't for his busy wedding, Li Mu would have planned to travel around the world, let alone this gang of idlers in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mu readily agreed: "These matters, the master decides on his own. In the short term, there should be no major incidents in the rivers and lakes, and the disciples can handle the matters in the sect.

It's just that our relationship with the imperial court and Shaolin is somewhat discordant, so it's best not to go to Beizhili and Dengfeng for your trip down the mountain this time. "

Everyone's morals are getting lower and lower, so now you have to be careful when traveling down the mountain, and you will fall into calculations if you don't pay attention.

A few of them are veterans of the Jianghu, and their martial arts are also at the top of the Jianghu. Theoretically speaking, few people in Jianghu could threaten them.

It's just that things are not necessarily the same when they arrive at the lair of the two major forces. In case of a sudden dispute with the Huashan faction, maybe this kind of nonsensical thing can really be done.

I saw Zhou Qingyun said domineeringly: "Don't worry, we are not so calculating. Whoever cares about life and death will definitely let them eat and walk around."

...

With the spread of invitations, the peaceful rivers and lakes became turbulent again, and waves were blown up for a while.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an ordinary wedding. But in the eyes of the big forces, this is the prelude to the Huashan faction's plan to make troubles.

After a few years of recuperation, the martial arts gangs that had suffered relatively small losses had regained their vitality, and those that had suffered heavy losses also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, it is the beginning of the game of "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps". If you don't want to become food in the mouths of others, you can only continue to grow yourself.

Especially the martial arts forces adjacent to the Huashan faction, each of them has raised their vigilance, for fear that if they are not careful, they will become the target of being eaten.
