Bashu.

Looking around, there are endless mountains, like a lying dragon, not knowing where the first starts or where the tail ends.

On the official road that could barely accommodate two carriages, a young man was walking slowly along the official road with a book-tung. The boy looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a thick white shirt and holding a white paper fan. At first glance, he looked like a gentle face, and he looked a little handsome. But if he looked closely, he found that this person's eyebrows were like thin willows, his eyes were as autumn as autumn, and his smile and frown were all shining. In addition, although he deliberately wore a little wide-minded dress to hide his figure, it still couldn't hide the youthful posture that the girl should have.

"Little...Young Master, if we are not faster, I don't know how many days it will take to arrive at Tangjiabao!"

The little Shutong behind him gently wiped the sweat left on his face and complained a little.

The young man was not too slow, and the white paper fan in his hand shook lightly, and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry, since we are all here in Bashu, why not enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bashu? Before we came, we heard that Qingcheng was in secluded and Emei was in beauty. Of course, we must have a good experience when we came here."

Shutong said: "If you marry into Tangjiabao in the future, you will have time to travel through the mountains and rivers of Bashu. Why bother to hurry up? Besides, if you don't hurry, we may not be able to find a town or an inn when it gets dark. Do you want to sleep in the wilderness? I heard that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants here?"

A flash of blush appeared on the boy's face and spat, "You talk too much, whoever said that this girl must marry into Tangjiabao, huh..."

Speaking of this, the young man made a sound of surprise and looked up at the road ahead. After a moment, a man galloped past the two of them. The fast horse's iron hooves stepped on the ground, raising the dust in the sky.

"Phhhh..."

Xiao Shutong hurriedly said, and said angrily: "It's just a group of barbarians. They must be those who have become rich and have no education at all."

The young man waved the paper fan lightly and said, "They are people from Tangjiabao."

Xiao Shutong said in surprise: "Tangjiabao? Why is it a hurrying adopted son? Is something wrong with Tangjiabao?"

The young man smiled and said, "Who can do the Tangjiabao, one of the four martial arts families in Bashu, and who can do it against them?"

Xiao Shutong said: "What about it compared to our Liu family?"

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "The four major families in the martial arts world have their own advantages, but Tangjiabao is the oldest. Due to the dangerous terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the dynasty in the Central Plains rarely cause disaster to Bashu. As far as I know, Tangjiabao has existed since the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down to this day. The most powerful is the Bai family in Jinling. When the Bai family made great contributions to the capture of Jinling by Chengzu, it was appreciated by Chengzu. With the support of the court, it has been developed for hundreds of years. Now it is strong.

He has become the leader of the four major families. Rather than saying that he is a martial arts family, it is better to say that the imperial court uses to control the world. In addition, the Zuo family, the first two heads of the Zuo family are very mediocre, and the family is in constant civil strife. Now it is Sunset. Although Zuo Yuming, the current head of the family, is also one of the six masters of the martial arts world, he has even made the name of Bai Yu Di in recent years. However, it is probably not easy to rely on his own to save a martial arts family that is in the midst of the twilight."

Xiao Shutong was extremely excited when he heard this and asked quickly: "What about our Liu family and the Liu family? So what about the Tang family in Bashu, the Bai family in Jinling, and the Zuo family in Taiyuan?"

The boy said, "What about the Liu family? It's ranked third among the four major families."

Xiao Shutong curled his lips and said, "It's the third one. Isn't the old master among the seven saints? Who can compete in the world?"

The young man said, "Don't forget that there is a Buddha, a king and a demon in front of the Seven Saints. Besides, there are countless masters in the martial arts world? Who dares to claim to be the best in the world? The so-called Seven Saints are just names added by those people. Grandpa doesn't want to involve things in the world now, he just wants to spend his old age safely."

The little Shutong seemed a little unwilling to accept it, "Young master, are we considered walking in the world now?"

The young man said, "What are you going to walk in the world? We are called running away from home! The world is dangerous, and it's all you can imagine? You'd better be obedient and honest. Wait until you have a fifteen or sixteen years old, Miss... No... Young Master, I personally find you a good husband, take care of your husband and children, and stay away from the world of things."

………………………………

A day ago, Tang Sect!

It is known as the first family in Shu and has been passed down for hundreds of years. In addition to its great family and great business, the Tang Sect also enjoys a high reputation in the martial arts world and is known as one of the four major martial arts families.

The Tang Sect has the best hidden weapon in the world and is extremely good at using poison. For hundreds of years, I don’t know how many people want to attack the Tang Sect, but they just think about it, because many people who intend to put this idea in advance have died and died inexplicably.

The place where the Tangmen is located is called Tangjiabao. The entire Tangjiabao is in a valley, with steep cliffs on all sides, and there is only one way to enter and exit. The entire Tangjiabao is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is a Tangjiaji under Tangjiabao. The villagers living here are basically the surname Tang. Many disciples from Tangjiabao come from young people at Tangjiaji.

As usual, the villagers of Tangjiaji got up early in the morning and started working, but today they found something strange. There were already heavy troops guarding the entrance to and from Tangjiabao. They were closely inspected for the people and vehicles entering and leaving. Did they see fully armed Tangmen disciples running by in the town? It felt like the entire Tangjiabao had become a hornet's nest.

In Tangjiabao, the current head of the family Tang Huaili was sitting in a small courtyard with a solemn expression. Next to him were the three elders of the Tang Sect and the three most outstanding young people in Tangjiabao, one was Tang Qingshan, the other was Tang Qingfeng, and the other was Tang Qingyun. Among the three young people, Tang Qingshan was the oldest, twenty-seven years old, and Tang Qingyun was the youngest, but only twenty years old. According to seniority, Tang Huaili was the grandfather of the three. The only difference was that Tang Qingshan was Tang Huaili's grandson, while Tang Qingfeng was Tang Huaili's second brother Tang Huaixin, and Tang Qingyun was Tang Huaixun's grandson.

The trusted disciples who were constantly in and out sent the information one by one, but it was disappointing news. The final one was the most noticeable one, which was found at the foot of the mountain in the south.

The group immediately rushed to the place where the rope was discovered. There was a cliff about a hundred feet high. When they looked up, they saw that the rope reached the top of the mountain.

Tang Huaili's heart suddenly sank, and he said with a serious expression: "The traitor must have left Tangjiabao, Qingshan and Qingfeng through here. You two set out immediately. Be sure to inquire about the whereabouts of the traitor. Remember, after discovering the traces of the thief, remember not to act rashly, you are not his opponent."

"yes!"

The two answered in unison.

After saying that, Tang Huaili looked at Tang Qingyun again and said, "As for Qingyun, you can stay in Tangjiabao for the time being."

Tang Qingyun felt helpless and could only say: "Yes!"

They also knew in their hearts that they were definitely not this person who took action, because the thief this time was not an ordinary person, but Tang Huaishan, one of the four elders of Tangjiabao. This person's ability to use poison and use hidden weapons made people feel disgusted in the world, and he nicknamed Mr. Wuying.

The two are the best among the younger generation of Tangjiabao, but they are still far apart to deal with Tang Huaishan.

The Tang Sect is mainly good at three types: mechanism hidden weapons and poisons. Three years ago, the Tang Sect developed a top-level hidden weapon. The hidden weapon is only the size of an egg and has a delicate machine spring. It can produce two hundred hair-like poison needles at a time. The poison needle is extremely poisonous, and the poison is blood-sealed. Even a small one is enough to kill the horse in a moment.

When Thousand-Handed Guanyin was fired, the sound was extremely slight, as if it was like a roar of insects, but it could instantly launch more than 200 poisonous needles, which was unpredictable. Even the top martial arts masters may not be able to defend themselves.

Because this hidden weapon is too vicious, even the Tang Sect itself is afraid, so it only made four of the hidden weapons and then used one for testing, while the other three are sealed in different places. In order to prevent it from being prevented, the drawings were destroyed later.

And this time the stolen one was one of the three.

What made Tang Huaili most worried was where this Thousand-Handed Guanyin would be used. With Tang Huaili's ability, why would it take such a big effort to deal with ordinary people? This hidden weapon came from the Tang Sect, which means that if Tang Huaishan used this hidden weapon to poke a huge hole, others would eventually settle the account on the Tang Sect's head.

Although the Tang Sect is well-known in the martial arts world, few people dare to provoke it, it does not mean that the Tang Sect is an invincible existence. After all, in addition to the world, there is another place called the imperial court.

………………………………………

Wudang Mountain.

The current head of Wudang is Taoist Master Cassia, and is known as one of the four highest people in the martial arts world today.

The night had already fallen to Wudang Mountain, and the other disciples were resting, while Cassia did not rest, but was holding a seat in the Zixiao Palace.

"Master, you should go and rest."

A little Taoist priest behind him said respectfully that he was a little Taoist priest who was responsible for the daily life of Cassia.

Cassia nodded slightly, stood up slowly, and walked outside. The night wind blew, with a hint of coolness.

Cassia squeaked slightly, and he smelled an unusual smell.

Just as Cassia walked to the little Taoist priest, the eyes of the originally drooping Taoist priest suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a blue dagger appeared in his hand as if he was a different trick, and quickly stabbed Cassia that was not at all guarded.

The dagger was very fast, like lightning, as if it was about to pierce Cassia's body in the next moment. Even if it was cut a little bit by bit, the poison quenched on the sword could instantly invade his heart veins, and his heart could instantly be filled with a ball of charcoal.

But the dagger in front of him was about to pierce Cassia's body. Suddenly, the little Taoist priest felt as if he was stabbed on a steel plate. The dagger was hard to push ahead. When he looked at it, Cassia's two fingers were firmly clamping the dagger.

The little Taoist priest immediately let go, his body flashed, like a fallen leaf, light, but he retreated several steps away extremely quickly, giggled and said, "It's true that he is worthy of the top master of the Central Plains martial arts world. I wonder how the Taoist priest noticed it?"

He clearly looked like a male Taoist boy, but his voice was indeed a woman.

Cassia seed said lightly: "There will not be a fragrant powder on Qingming."

Then he didn't even look at the dagger in his hand. His fingers shook out slightly, and he heard a tingling sound. The dagger had been completely inserted into the floor next to him. The sharp dagger didn't hurt him at all.

The little Taoist priest smiled and said, "Oh, this is a mistake from the little girl. Everyone has this love of beauty."

It seemed as if this assassination was a game for her, and it didn't matter whether she failed or not.

Cassia raised her eyes slightly, looked at the little Taoist boy in front of her, and asked, "Where is Qingming?"

The little Taoist boy said: "Don't worry, that little Taoist boy was just knocked out by the little girl and had no worries about his life. There will be many disturbances tonight, so the little girl will say goodbye first."

After saying that, when you kick your feet, you will be like a wisp of blue smoke, and you will retreat outward.

"Tan Yue walked slowly!"

Cassia said in a deep voice, waved her hand and looked light and slapped her palm from the air.

The little Taoist priest was very fast, and He Catmatsu's palm wind was faster. She saw her body trembling, staggering, and almost falling down. She took a deep breath, stabilized her body, and then raised her hands together. A few cold stars flew out of her hand, but did not shoot at Catmatsu, but to the ground.

"Bang...bang..."

A few dull sounds sounded, followed by a fire.

With a wave of Cassia's sleeves, a strong wind rose up flat on the ground. An invisible back wall seemed to be erected in an instant, and the fragments splashed everywhere due to the explosion were blocked in an instant.

But in just a moment, the figure of the Taoist boy had long disappeared into the night and disappeared.

……………………

At the same time, Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, with the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. There is even more saying: The martial arts of the world come from Shaolin.

There is a place in Shaolin that is specially used to collect scriptures and Shaolin secret books, which is the Sutra Library. The Sutra Library is also the most closely guarded place in Shaolin.

Then, now the Sutra Library is extremely tightly protected, but the fire is igniting. Some Shaolin disciples are rushing to put out the fire with water, while the other hand moves the scriptures inside to the outside.

The buildings are basically made of wood, and once the fire is burned, it is difficult to extinguish it. It was not until noon the next day that the fire was extinguished, but the Sutra Pavilion turned into a ruin that was still surging with blue smoke. In order to rescue the sutras in the Sutra Pavilion, several disciples were burned.

In the abbot's room, Jingwu, the first person in the dynasty, reported the loss in detail to the abbot's Master Kuchan: "The ten injured disciples were basically burned. The scriptures were burned and burned 123 pieces, the mind and energy Hunyuan Gong among the seventy-two-level skills of Shaolin, the great movement of body transfer, the dragon subduing elephant skills, the twelve dragon-capturing hands, the fingers of the Wuying Tribulation, the flower scattering palm, the Prajna Zen Palm, the Vajra Indestructible Magical Art, and the cassock subduing demon-suffering nine pieces were lost. After being confirmed by the novice monks in the Golden Pavilion, the person in the Sutra Pavilion who stole these secrets and set fire to the fire was the Jingyuan in the Precepts Academy."

The secrets stolen are all top secrets among the 72 unique skills of Shaolin, not to mention that the person who steals the book is actually the head of the precepts. When Master Kuchan learned of this news, he couldn't help but look up the stolen sentence and was silent for a moment: "Immediately send disciples to investigate the whereabouts of the stolen scriptures."

……………………

As one of the largest intelligence agencies of the imperial court, the Jinyiwei has its own secret intelligence network all over the country, and there are countless secret spies from the Jinyiwei.

These intelligence agencies not only monitor court officials in various places, but also major sects. In the eyes of the court, these martial arts people are also an unstable factor and must be closely monitored.

After screening, the information was finally sent to Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and a large part of the information sent during this period had a little similarity, that is, it came from various sects.

Night had already fallen, but Lu Bing did not go home. He was still in the Jinyiwei yamen. The dim lights illuminated the entire small room, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Lu Bing was looking at a thick stack of information in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "The hidden weapon of the Tang Sect's unique Sichuan branch was stolen. The thief was Tang Huaishan, who was the four elders of the Tang Sect. The head of the Wudang Sect, Taoist Master Cassiazi, was assassinated. Although he failed to succeed, his killer had a strong skill. The Shaolin Temple Sutra Library caught fire and the scriptures were stolen. The thief was the first in the precepts courtyard."

Apart from the second killer, Tang Huaishan is the elder of the Tang Sect and Jingyuan is the head of the precepts. Among the two major sects, they are all respected people. Why do they say that they are rebellious?

Standing next to him was Sun Wumiao, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who continued: "Not only that, twelve sects including Huashan, Yitong, Taishan, Huangshan were suddenly attacked, and countless injured people, and the targets of the attackers were the families of the heads of major sects, mainly kidnapping, and the purpose was unknown for the time being."

Lu Bing also frowned deeply and said in a deep voice: "Is the Central Plains martial arts world going to change?"

After a while, he said seriously: "Let the Jinyiwei from all over the country investigate the matter!"
Chapter completed!
