[Comprehensive] Taixu Sword Intent

In the fifth year of Zhaoqi, Xia.

The outskirts of Jinling.

A few strong men blocked the way to rob the road, but unexpectedly the young Taoist who was stopped by them suddenly disappeared with a chuckle.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and while they were in a daze, a blue shadow flashed behind them, and then they fell to the ground one after another.

The young man was dressed in a hydration robe, with a long sword on his back, a scarf on his head, and a book in his hand. He looked extremely elegant.Looking at his appearance, he is more than clear and meaningful, and there is a sense of carelessness in the tranquility.

This time he made a move, even the corners of his clothes were not messed up, and the long sword on his back was not even unsheathed at all.

Suddenly someone in the forest beside him clapped his hands and praised: "Good lightness kung fu, good body skills, good bearing, good heart, Wudang School Song Shaoxia has lived up to his reputation, and he really has the style of being a teacher."

The young Taoist was slightly stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a man in white walking out of the forest. It seemed that his steps were not very big, but he walked ten feet away to him in a blink of an eye.He was waiting for luck to fend off the enemy, but when he saw the opponent's true face clearly, the young man couldn't help laughing, bowed his hands in salute, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't be praised by Yang Zuoshi like this."

The visitor smiled and said: "Song Shaoxia deserves his name. Could it be that Mr. Yang is a person who is lying and exaggerating? I haven't seen him for a few years, and Song Shaoxia's martial arts have improved again. I just don't know how his sword skills are now."

This person is undoubtedly Yang Xiao.

In the past, Yang Xiao served as the left envoy of Mingjiao Guangming. After the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he took the post of Yushi Zhongcheng and took charge of the Yushitai, which can be said to be a high position.Although Liu Bowen is the prime minister, he is no more qualified than Yang Xiao in Mingjiao in the past, and he is old with many Mingjiao people in the court. If Yang Xiao has no desire to fight for power, whether Liu Bowen can secure the position is another matter.

More than ten years have passed since Mingjiao rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. Yang Xiao was already approaching his age. He took the seal and left the mansion with the things that he walked in the rivers and lakes in the past.Yang Xiao's inner strength is profound, he has benefited from maintenance over the years, his face does not look old, it looks like he is about forty.After leaving Chang'an, he originally wanted to return to Kunlun, but then changed his mind and decided to take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River first. That's when he happened to meet Song Qingshu outside Jinling City who also came out to travel the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Song Qingshu was dressed as a Taoist priest, Yang Xiao met such a robber who was not at all popular. He wanted to see how his sword skills are now, so he hid in the forest, but he didn't expect Song Qingshu to be so easy without using a sword at all. Knocked over a few people.

Song Qingshu followed with a smile and said: "These people are also worthy of my sword? What's wrong with Yang Zuoshi, walking outside in white clothes, don't you want to return to the rivers and lakes?"

Clothing colors are not optional.In the past, people in the Yuan Dynasty ruled the country, and most people in the Jianghu didn't care about the "imperial ban" and could wear whatever they wanted. However, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the regulations on clothing colors in the Tang and Song Dynasties were followed. For example, the colors of red and purple are considered official positions. Talents may wear it, but ordinary people can only wear white clothes.With the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, there is basically no taboo except for the royal ban. Song Qingshu saw Yang Xiao appearing in white clothes, and he felt something, so he didn't call him "adult" but called him "Zuo Shi" in the old world.It is also because although the two haven't seen each other for several years, they both had a close connection with Yaoguang, and they can be regarded as "admiring" each other's name for a long time, and they are a little closer than strangers, otherwise the old name of Mingjiao in the past would be called out by others Maybe it will be seedlings.

Yang Xiao smiled, and said: "Song Shaoxia has a keen mind. A certain has resigned from office and returned to his hometown, so there is no need for the Zuo Shi to call him. Thinking of my Yang Xiao, who has been famous for half his life, it is very rare that I have nothing to do now. I happened to see the young man today. Hero, why don't we have a drink together?"

Song Qingshu was just guessing, but unexpectedly Yang Xiao resigned, he was stunned for a while before smiling and said: "Senior invites you, how dare you refuse to obey? I know that there is a 'Huaide Restaurant' in Jinling City that has 'Zuisheng', There are two famous wines of 'Mengshi', Nurhong, Zhuyeqing, and Wuliangye, if you don't want me to be the master, please seniors have a good drink."

Yang Xiao was also not polite, and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to go first.

How could Song Qingshu really take the first step.

In terms of age, Yang Xiao is two rounds older than him, in terms of seniority, Yang Xiao and Yao Guang's peers are friends, and Song Qing's name is Yao Guang's nephew, he is actually a disciple of Yao Guang, and he is actually a generation shorter than Yang Xiao.

The two stalemate on the road for a while, Yang Xiao couldn't help laughing and said, "Song Shaoxia is really like the leader in this respect. Although he is from Taoism, in some respects he abides by etiquette more than those sour scholars. Forget it, I will ask you to go half a step first." .”

Although Yaoguang proclaims himself emperor, Yang Xiao is still accustomed to calling him the "religious leader" in private.In his heart, "religious leader" actually has more meaning than "Your Majesty" or "Xiandi", but all kinds of secrets are not enough for outsiders to understand.

Yang Xiao stepped forward, and Song Qingshu followed behind.

After a while, Song Qingshu said: "Senior Yang, I have a question to ask senior."

Yang Xiao smiled sideways: "But it's okay to say. Fortunately, you don't have the problem of 'speaking inappropriately' when you want to ask questions, otherwise someone will definitely answer you 'inappropriately speaking'."

Song Qingshu suddenly laughed, "My little uncle once refuted someone like this in the past. My little uncle taught me to be honest with others, to speak frankly, and not to use some tricks in words, which will only defile my heart in vain."

The words are still in my ears, but the man has been away from him for many years.

Ever since my junior uncle, fifth uncle, and fifth sister-in-law went to Tianyingjiao that year, they haven't come back for more than ten years.In the early years, he went to Kunlun to visit his junior uncle, but after the Mingjiao incident, there was only correspondence. After four years of fighting, he went to see his junior uncle with his grand master, but he never expected that the side would be so violent. Cheng Yongjue.Up to now, the fifth uncle and the fifth sister-in-law have returned to Wudang, and even Yin Tianzheng has also pushed the seal to go to Wudang Mountain in the name of retirement, and Mingjiao has also disappeared from the Jianghu. The beautiful "Snow Bamboo" is no longer alive.

Song Qingshu felt a little gloomy in his heart, and quickly shook his head, saying: "Senior Yang, I would like to ask you, Senior Yang, was Senior Yang present on the day when my junior uncle 'emerged'?"

Yang Xiao was slightly stunned, only now did he realize what Song Qingshu wanted to ask, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Yang personally witnessed the leader melting the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber into unparalleled swords. Then..."

Yang Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.

"Yang doesn't care what other people say. In his opinion, he is jealous of talents. After a thunderstorm, he can't even enshrine the leader! There are all kinds of fairy tales in the folk, and I really can't believe it... That Zhang Although the boy is also very talented, he has always been unjust for the leader. The leader has gone through ups and downs, fought and killed, and won the throne. Seeing the world is in order, he let go. The great country and power are entrusted to that boy. Are there really people Dare to say that the leader is a woman who is in power, which is taboo by heaven, trying to insinuate and deceive others, heh."

This is something that only the old Mingjiao can say. If you teach others, they will never dare to call the current emperor "the boy surnamed Zhang".

Yang Xiao closed his eyes and shook his head, his expression calmed down.

"Forget it, that kid also repays his kindness, and he didn't change the history books randomly. Song Shaoxia, do you know that after the sect master passed away, someone suggested you to succeed him?"

Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, but then laughed.

In the past, Yaoguang relied heavily on Yang Xiao, who was the left envoy of Guangming, and the two had a good personal relationship. Sometimes when Yaoguang talked about the old things in Wudang, he couldn't help but talk about a nephew who had studied with him for many years, but he abandoned him before he was good enough to become a teacher. At that time, Yaoguang's words were full of praise and nostalgia for that nephew, and he felt a little guilty.

Yang Xiao also laughed and said that he could bring that Wudang young hero to Guangmingding.

Yao Guang shook his head and sighed, he is not suitable for this place, now that he wants to come, fortunately he has not accepted apprentices, otherwise he will be killed.

Yang Xiao asked, so what about Zhang Wuji.

Yao Guang replied, Wuji's life experience is complicated, since he is already here, there is no need to force his way out, and the misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.

Still unpredictable.

Really unpredictable.

After Yaoguang's "emergence and ascension to immortality", Yang Xiao quickly thought of someone who could stop Youyou's mouth to succeed him after a brief daze, so he went to contact the old members of the Mingjiao, and everyone unanimously recommended Zhang Wuji to succeed him. His voice was suppressed immediately, and Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan were extremely reasonable, urging Zhang Wuji to change his surname, and left Chang'an for Wudang in a hurry the next day. Both powers and powers were handed over in a few days and both resigned.In this way, those who still worry about foreign relatives interfering in politics are all dumb.

Teach literature and history, teach swordsmanship, teach a hundred schools of thought... and finally trust each other with one country.

The highest power and supreme position in the world is also the heaviest authority in the world, on which all people rely.

She knew that she had no children, and if one day passed, the throne would be handed over to her only disciple sooner or later, so she accepted Zhang Wuji as her adopted son a few years ago, thinking it was for this day.

Whenever Yang Xiao thinks about the past, he can't help sighing.

Yao Guang even thought about the aftermath, and persuaded many Ming Cult members to return home early, and asked Liu Bowen to take care of the old Ming Cult members in the court, but he never expected that he would leave so early, right?

...Year name... Let's call it "Zhaoqi".The sun and the moon are shining, Taibai Qiming.This dynasty was established because of the Ming religion, and it was called "Ming", so the year name might as well come from the word "Ming", what does the Zuo envoy think?

What the teacher said is naturally excellent.The holy fire is clear, the sun and the moon are clear, wonderful.

All these old events are vivid in my mind, in the city of Chang'an, things are changing and people are changing.

Every time Yang Xiao fell in love with the scene, he finally resigned and left after the world was settled.

Perhaps in his heart, what he dislikes the most is the stunningly talented woman on the throne who is not the one he is familiar with.

Yang Xiao knows a secret—a secret that might have caused great turmoil but is now worthless, but he still keeps it carefully, as if he has a tacit understanding with the owner of that secret that is different from others.

Three people once knew that secret, but after Cheng Kun quietly died in Guangmingding many years ago, only he and Yao Guang knew about it, and now, he is the only one in the world who knows it.

During the few years when Mingjiao was dormant, Cheng Kun once touched Guangmingding and tried to recognize his relatives with Yaoguang, saying that he and the wife of Yang Dingtian, the former leader of Mingjiao, were brothers and sisters. Kun narrated the past in a big way, even telling about his affair with Mrs. Yang in Guangmingding secret road, and said that Yang Dingtian went crazy that year because he knew that his daughter was not his own. The birthmark identified Yao Guang as not the daughter of Yang Dingtian and Mrs. Yang, but his and Mrs. Yang's child.Cheng Kun had thought that Mingjiao's power would be at his fingertips, but he didn't expect that beautiful and elegant girl to kill him without even thinking about it.

At that time Yang Xiao was hiding in the dark, it was already a step too late to make a move, so he casually said that this monk is very courageous.

Yao Guang smiled and said, yes, it is indeed very courageous to touch the Guangming Peak from the secret path, but I also know one thing because of it.

Yang Xiao felt something was wrong, but Shangfang Yaoguang had already rolled up his cuffs to his elbows, that arm was white and delicate, without the birthmark that Cheng Kun said earlier, Yang Xiao was shocked.

There is no doubt that Yao Guang is not Yang Dingtian's daughter, nor even Mrs. Yang's child, she is just an orphan who has nothing to do with Mingjiao.As for how the sacred fire order appeared on her baby, that was something that even Cheng Kun, who took away Mrs. Yang's daughter but abandoned it in Wudang Mountain, could not know.Maybe there is "God's will" in it, or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Yao Guang asked, what is Yang Zuoshi's plan?

Yang Xiao replied: The subordinate is resigning, so the leader can rest.

It was as if this incident had never happened, and it was gently revealed.

If it had been a few years earlier, perhaps Yang Xiao would have used this secret as an excuse to blackmail the other party, but he hadn't thought about it at all at the time, and his first thought was "the leader will not abandon Mingjiao", so after getting the other party's temptation , he was relieved.

After that, the secret gradually changed in memory, from bitterness to sweetness, and then from sweetness to sourness, and now it has become as mellow as fine wine.

Yang Xiao looked at the young Taoist in front of him, and said with a smile: "Song Shaoxia, did you ever think that if the leader had kept you in Guangmingding back then, you might be the emperor today."

Song Qingshu shook his head with a smile and said, "Young master will not leave me on the top of the light."

Yang Xiao was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why do you make such an assertion?"

Song Qingshu smiled again, and gently unfolded the scroll in his hand. On the cover was the "Tao Te Ching". He smoothed the pages and carefully put the book into his sleeve.

"When my little uncle taught me how to practice swords, I made an oath to study the way of swordsmanship, to persevere and be diligent, not to kill indiscriminately, not to lose one's morale, not to kill fellow disciples, and not to help the tyrant. I have studied the way of swordsmanship, but how can I seek the way of kingship. The world is in chaos, and my junior uncle has no choice but to use the sword to save the world. So, naturally, I should specialize in studying Taoism, so as not to cause my junior uncle to work in vain. If I can pass on some of her sword skills to future generations, I will not Negative of what you have learned."

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"A good disciple taken by Zhang Zhenren, a good disciple taken by the leader! Let Yang invite you for today's wine! Song Shaoxia don't want to refuse. If we leave today, I'm afraid there will be no date in the future. Please also tell Zhang Zhenren and Yin. The old son, father and son, Zhang Wuxia and his wife, Yang will return to Kunlun soon, so he will not visit Wudang in person, I wish you all good health and nothing to worry about."

Song Qingshu smiled, nodded and said: "In this way, I will live up to the kindness of my predecessors. Please—"

In front of the two of them was the city gate of Jinling, and the bright and warm sun rushed towards their faces.
