Chapter 190 Huashan Dispute
Just when Zhu Wushi was thinking about how to effectively and forcefully connect with his seventh brother Zhu Chengwu in the Hulong Villa, Zhu Chengwu, along with Wang Taoshan, Yang Yanwu and Cui Shuyun, quietly arrived at Huashan.
After Feng Qingyang of Huashan passed away in his prime, the Huashan Sect fell into a dilemma of a lack of successors.
Now that we know that Feng Qingyang passed away in his prime, it was probably to support the Fu'an Marquis Mansion after Zhu Chengwu left. In addition, before Zhu Chengwu left the Fu'an Marquis Mansion for the Elbrus Mountains, Feng Qingyang also helped the Fu'an Marquis Mansion when Zhu Chengwu was still there...
Now that Zhu Chengwu is back, he naturally has to report something to the Huashan Sect where Feng Qingyang is.
Zhu Chengwu gave up going to the capital as soon as possible and chose to come to Huashan first, not for show but to attract high-ranking officials of other forces and masters from all sides to get closer to Zhu Chengwu.
It was simply because Zhu Chengwu wanted to resolve the guilt that occasionally emerged from his heart.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty is right there, the throne of the Ming Dynasty is right there, and no one can take it away!
With Zhu Chengwu's current military force and strength, no matter when Zhu Chengwu arrives at the capital of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Chengwu arrives at the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the throne of the Ming King is destined to be his as long as Zhu Chengwu wants it, and there is no possibility of any accidents!
In this case, why doesn't Zhu Chengwu resolve his inner feelings first, and dispel any guilt, so that his progress towards becoming a Grandmaster will not be affected?
Moreover, dragging it out like this would also allow Zhu Chengwu's nephew, the current Ming King, and his eldest sister-in-law, who had successfully ascended to the throne, the Queen Mother, to fully experience the fear of having their life and death controlled by others.
This can be considered as a little bit of interest that Zhu Chengwu recovered for the destruction of Fu'an Marquis Mansion!
"Stop, Huashan is closed today and no outside visitors are allowed!"
Just as Zhu Chengwu and his four companions reached the foot of Mount Hua and were about to climb the mountain, several martial artists holding long swords suddenly jumped out from the only mountain road leading to the top of Mount Hua.
"Master Hou!"
Wang Taoshan, Yang Yanwu and Cui Shuyun turned their eyes to Zhu Chengwu.
"Ignore it!"
Zhu Chengwu took a step forward and had already passed the disciples guarding the mountain at the intersection at the foot of the mountain.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
After hearing Zhu Chengwu's words and seeing Zhu Chengwu's figure that had already passed the disciples guarding the mountain, Wang Taoshan, Yang Yanwu and Cui Shuyun responded, then changed their bodies and hurried to catch up.
"stop!"
Seeing that Zhu Chengwu and his four companions ignored him and went straight into the mountain, a young and inexperienced disciple guarding the mountain, completely confused about the situation and chased after Zhu Chengwu and his companions.
At the same time, he waved the sword in his hand!
It seemed as if he wanted to stab one of the four people in Zhu Chengwu's group through.
Sure enough, the lower you go, the more stupid people there are who can’t see the situation clearly!
Truly smart people, as long as they are willing to struggle, rarely stay at the bottom.
The mountain-guarding disciple who caught up with them was too stupid. Zhu Chengwu had already ignored them and given them some respect, but he had not yet realized Zhu Chengwu's magnanimity. He did not think about how Zhu Chengwu and his companions of four could ignore them who were holding long swords and directly step into the mountain path. How strong were the strength and combat power of Zhu Chengwu and his companions, and whether he could stop them or scam them.
"Deal with them!"
Such a suicidal act made Zhu Chengwu, who originally wanted to let the disciples guarding the mountain go, couldn't help but turn his head and look at the disciple who was chasing him.
Although he came here to relieve his guilt, not everyone can display weapons and act so recklessly in front of Zhu Chengwu.
In order for Zhu Chengwu to resolve the guilt in his heart, he doesn't have to do a lot for Huashan Sect and Feng Qingyang, or he doesn't have to be tolerant of Huashan Sect in every way.
Zhu Chengwu resolved the guilt in his heart. As long as Zhu Chengwu felt that he had repaid Feng Qingyang's kindness and no longer felt guilty, it would be enough.
In other words, Zhu Chengwu's specific behavior to resolve his guilt could be to help Huashan replace Wudang and Shaolin to become the largest sect in the Ming Dynasty, or Zhu Chengwu could let someone from Huashan off lightly when he made rude remarks to him...
As long as Zhu Chengwu feels that it is a response to Feng Qingyang's kindness, that's enough!
The standard is not based on the world's values, but only on Zhu Chengwu's heart.
All Zhu Chengwu wants is his heart!
"understand!"
After hearing Zhu Chengwu's order, Wang Taoshan and Yang Yanwu answered at the same time.
Immediately, Wang Taoshan's spiritual power burst out, Yang Yanwu's figure flashed, and the mountain guard who rushed up with a long sword in his hand and his group of companions who stayed behind suddenly fell down one after another.
How could they, who were only at the entry-level realm, be a match for Grandmaster Yang Shen?
Even Grandmaster Yang Shen who attacked them, in order to show off in front of Zhu Chengwu, not only did not cooperate at all, but there was even a trace of mutual restraint between them.
But Grandmaster Yangshen is Grandmaster Yangshen.
It's not something they can scam!
As Wang Taoshan and Yang Yanwu dealt with the ungrateful mountain guards, Zhu Chengwu and his four companions' pace of entering the mountain was not affected in the slightest.
His tempers were already rising, and Zhu Chengwu had no tolerance for the mountain guards who tried to stop them on their way up the mountain.
Every time they appeared on the stage, Zhu Chengwu would immediately make them lose their ability to move.
Although he said there would be no more tolerance, Zhu Chengwu actually showed mercy to the mountain guards on Mount Huashan.
Except for a few who cursed and didn't know what was good for them and were killed by Zhu Chengwu, Zhu Chengwu only seriously injured the other mountain guards, making them lose their combat and mobility capabilities.
A mere mediocre warrior could survive at the hands of Zhu Chengwu, the world's most powerful warrior. The fate of these Huashan disciples who guarded the mountain was enough to make the masters who died in the Erbulu Mountains die with regret.
"Yue Buqun, you seized the position of the leader of Huashan Sect after the death of my sword master Feng. Now that Marquis Fu'an has reappeared and Alliance Leader Zuo also supports me, why don't you resign and save your dignity!"
Before Zhu Chengwu entered the main hall of Huashan Sect on the top of Mount Huashan, a powerful voice had already reached his ears.
"Feng Buping, whether I took it by force or not, and what the facts were back then, you and I both know it very well!
Twenty-eight years ago, you disobeyed Uncle Feng's instructions and went down the mountain secretly, colluding with villains to rob Cui's high-level treasure presented to Marquis Fu'an - the Earth Core Fire Lotus...
After the truth was exposed, Uncle Feng had no choice but to give up on you and entrust the position of the head of Huashan to me!
I didn't expect that after so many years, not only have you made no progress, but you have also teamed up with outsiders to forcibly seize the position of the head of Huashan!
Do you think you are doing justice to Uncle Feng who has made so many plans for you?"
Facing Feng Buping's questioning, Yue Buqun also had something to say.
After Feng Qingyang's death, Yue Buqun led the Huashan Sect, which was at its lowest point, to survive for more than 20 years while being secretly targeted by the imperial court. He is not the kind of person who would keep his words to himself or seize the high ground of public opinion.
"Yue Buqun, don't use the fact that Master Feng has passed away to confuse the public!
You said that Uncle Feng gave up on me, where is the evidence?
Everyone in the world knows that Uncle Feng comes from the Sword Sect, and I am the Sword Sect's eldest disciple.
But you, are just a disciple of Qi Zong!
Uncle Feng, why would you not pass on the throne to me, the eldest disciple of the Sword Sect, but to you, an ordinary disciple of the Qi Sect?
Whether there was any trick in the original succession, the world can tell with a single thought!
And you said that I once colluded with evildoers to rob the Earth Core Fire Lotus that Cui presented to Marquis Fu'an. Where is the evidence?
It's not like what you say is the truth, right?
Or do you think you are the Marquis of Fu'an? With the invincible military power of the Marquis of Fu'an, you can turn black into white! "
This kind of specious Feng Buping is very different from the character of Feng Buping in the film and television drama in Zhu Chengwu's previous life.
It seems that with the arrival of Zhu Chengwu, coupled with the mutual influence of characters in various film and television dramas in this world, the personalities of the characters in this world are very different from Zhu Chengwu's impression of his previous life.
Zhu Chengwu’s approach that it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely is correct.
"Feng Buping, you..."
Feng Buping's unexpected unreasonable behavior actually caught Yue Buqun, a "hypocrite" with a deep mind, off guard and he didn't know how to respond.
"The evidence is here! Feng Buping, how are you?" After asking Zhu Chengwu for permission, Cui Shuyun, who also heard the voice, flew forward, crossed the courtyard wall and came to the scene.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Cui Shuyun suddenly appear.
There were many first-rate and Yin Shen-level masters at the scene, but no one had noticed Cui Shuyun's approach before.
It was not until Cui Shuyun spoke up and flew forward that she attracted the attention of everyone present.
This is also a very scary image!
Because this means that if Cui Shuyun wants to plot against them, none of them will be able to detect it in advance, and Cui Shuyun has a high chance of succeeding.
This is a master assassin.
Looking at the horrified eyes of everyone present, Cui Shuyun did not feel complacent at all, because Cui Shuyun herself knew that this terrifying ability did not come from her, but from her husband - Zhu Chengwu.
Such ability is terrifying!
With Zhu Chengwu's realm and strength, it is not terrible for him to do such a thing by himself. What is terrible is that Zhu Chengwu made Cui Shuyun, who only cultivated her soul and not her body, do such a thing.
This means that Zhu Chengwu has completely blinded and even controlled the spiritual perception of everyone present without realizing it.
"who are you?"
As soon as Cui Shuyun appeared, Yue Buqun and Feng Buping, who had seen Cui Shuyun, fell silent for the first moment, and after a brief silence, they turned their gaze behind Cui Shuyun.
But there were also people who had never seen Cui Shuyun before. They turned to look at Cui Shuyun with an unhappy look, took a few steps forward and questioned Cui Shuyun.
The person who questioned Cui Shuyun was none other than Ding Mian, the Pagoda-Holding Hand, one of the Thirteen Guardians of the Songshan Sect who persuaded Feng Buping to come to Huashan to seize power.
During the heyday of the Huashan Sect, in order to further enhance its influence, the Huashan Sect brought together its four younger brothers - the Songshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, and the Taishan Sect - to form the so-called Five Mountains Alliance.
But times change, and with the support of the Huashan Sect, one of the six major righteous sects of the Ming Dynasty, the four younger brothers, the Songshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, and the Taishan Sect, grew stronger and stronger. On the contrary, the Huashan Sect, as the big brother and backbone, could not keep up with the pace.
First, there was an internal fight between the two sword and qi sects, and then even the only surviving grandmaster of the Huashan Sect, the Huashan Divine Sword Feng Qingyang, died young.
The leadership of the Five Mountains Alliance thus fell from the Huashan Sect, which had been the leader of the alliance since its inception, to the Songshan Sect among the Five Mountains.
During this period, the Songshan School welcomed a true genius - Zuo Lengchan.
Zuo Lengchan not only integrated the martial arts of his predecessors, but also created his own unique martial art - the Ice Palm, thereby achieving the level of a minor grandmaster.
When it comes to teaching others how to practice, Zuo Lengchan also has his own unique way of doing things. He has trained all of his thirteen fellow disciples who taught him to the highest level.
These thirteen top-notch masters are collectively known as the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan by outsiders.
One junior grandmaster and thirteen top-notch ones, this is the confidence that the Songshan School has gained in successfully replacing the Huashan School in leading the Five Mountains Alliance.
In fact, Zhu Chengwu also contributed a lot to the current development and power of the Songshan School.
If it weren't for the great battle between Zhu Chengwu and the four great masters of Shaolin Temple twenty-five years ago, which resulted in the death or injury of the four great masters and forced Shaolin Temple to close its doors to visitors.
The Songshan School, which is located in the same Songshan Mountain Range as the Shaolin Temple, could never have developed to its current level under the pressure and supervision of the Shaolin Temple.
However, even though the Shaolin Temple was closed to visitors and the Huashan Sect fell into a slump, Zuo Lengchan was able to seize the opportunity to develop the Songshan Sect to its current height, and even dominated the Five Mountains Alliance. Zuo Lengchan is worthy of being a hero of his generation.
What's more, Zuo Lengchan also created his own unique martial arts - Ice Palm, and became a junior grandmaster on his own.
Unfortunately, this world has never lacked geniuses or heroes. As long as one's talent does not reach the level of Taoist Sanfeng, and one's strength does not reach the combat power of Taoist Sanfeng at his peak, no matter how talented or how powerful one is, he will be confined by the world and restricted by the group.
Especially since Zuo Lengchan and Zhu Chengwu were from the same era, even the combat power of Taoist Sanfeng at his peak might not be able to support Zuo Lengchan to do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, if Zuo Lengchan wanted to develop the Songshan Sect and enhance its prestige, he would need other calculations and plans besides the use of force.
Now supporting Feng Buping in seizing the position of the leader of Huashan Sect is one of Zuo Lengchan's plans.
If Feng Buping could successfully become the leader of the Huashan Sect, then not only would Zuo Lengchan's voice in the Five Mountains Alliance greatly increase, but he might also be able to rely on Feng Buping's relationship to successfully hook up with Zhu Chengwu, thereby developing the Songshan Sect to a higher level.
Everyone knows that the reborn Zhu Chengwu is unstoppable and invincible in the world.
"Oh~~ You don't know me?"
Cui Shuyun, who is over 40 years old but still maintains a youthful appearance with a bit more mature charm, tilted her head slightly, revealing a bit of deliberate doubt in her eyes, and looked at Ding Mian, the tower-holding man, who was speaking.
"Should I know you?"
Ding Mian felt that the woman in front of him was saying something incomprehensible.
If Ding Mian's memory is correct, Ding Mian has never seen the woman in front of him before.
Although the woman in front of her has a pure temperament and mature charm, she is very beautiful and attractive, but she does not think that just because she is beautiful, everyone should know her!
Ding Mian is not a lustful person.
"Feng Buping, you just mentioned me and my husband! Why don't you introduce me to your backer now?"
Cui Shuyun seemed noncommittal about Ding Mian's question. She looked past Ding Mian and at Feng Buping who was standing behind him, and said so.
Twenty-eight years ago, when Feng Qingyang brought Yue Buqun and Feng Buping to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City, Gao Yao and Zhao Xinghan recognized Feng Buping as the enemy who blocked the road and robbed him.
It’s just because of the face of Feng Qingyang, the Huashan Divine Sword, that some things are not brought to the surface.
Afterwards, Feng Qingyang showed many favors to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, and he even died young because of supporting the Fu'an Marquis Mansion. Cui Shuyun, a survivor of the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, naturally had nothing to say about what had happened in the past.
Cui Shuyun had already prepared to completely bury the incident in her heart where Feng Buping, Tong Yao, Ai Jingxia and others had blocked the road and robbed the Earth Core Fire Lotus.
Unexpectedly, today Cui Shuyun heard Feng Buping's shameless, fact-ignoring and unreasonable speech.
After consulting Zhu Chengwu with her eyes and getting his consent, Cui Shuyun finally showed up and decided to settle the old score from 28 years ago with Feng Buping.
The Cui Shuyun of today is no longer the Cui Shuyun of the past!
Although I can't catch up with Zhu Chengwu!
But Cui Shuyun's talent for spirit cultivation is extremely good. Even when her soul was damaged in the beginning, Cui Shuyun was able to achieve an out-of-body experience for more than three months, and a Yin Spirit for less than three years. Now, twenty-five years have passed, and coupled with a series of events that caused changes in her mood and spiritual insights, such as the destruction of Fu'an Marquis Mansion, the tragic deaths of her father and brother, and the reconstruction of Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Cui Shuyun is now at the peak of Yin Spirit and may achieve the state of Yang Spirit at any time.
But what about Feng Buping?
Still a first-class one!
Although nearly thirty years have passed and Feng Buping's internal strength and martial arts have improved, he is still an ordinary first-rate master and is still some distance away from a small sect.
There is no change in this regard.
"Madam, how are you? Madam, has the Marquis arrived as well?"
After hearing Cui Shuyun's words, Feng Buping knew he couldn't escape, so he stood up from behind Ding Mian, clasped his fists and asked Cui Shuyun.
While speaking, Feng Buping's eyes were always scanning behind Cui Shuyun, as if he was looking for something to confirm.
