In the Heavens

Shaoshi Mountain, Abbot's Room.

As the most gifted disciple of Shaolin Temple in recent decades, the middle-aged Fang Zheng already has the appearance of an eminent monk.

Not long ago, he was established as the next generation successor of Shaolin, and began to assist Abbot Yuan Cong in handling the affairs of the temple.

"According to the news from Pingyang, the people from the Huashan faction are not trying to reinforce Hengshan, but an elite group that came out to meet the Hengshan faction's breakout.

Five days ago, the Shanxi Demon Sect intercepted and killed the Hengshan faction in the middle of the road, and the troops from the Huashan Sect who rushed to reinforce them even had a small fight with the Demon Sect.

In this battle, the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Demon Sect were victorious. Hengshan lost three elders and more than two hundred disciples, and the demon sect lost four guardians and five or six hundred followers.

Perhaps it was because of Feng Qingyang's attack that frightened the Shura scholar, and the Shanxi Demon Cult directly withdrew from Pingyang.

Now that the Huashan faction has begun to organize the evacuation, it seems that they are preparing to temporarily abandon Shanxi.

Combining the movements of the Songshan School and the Hengshan School, it can be basically confirmed that the Wuyue Sword School is planning a major operation, but the specific direction and goal are not sure. "

After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Abbot Yuan Cong frowned, and couldn't help sighing, "The rain is about to come and the building is full of wind!"

The former Tie Hanhan, who was devoted to fighting against demons, was gone, and turned to play tricks, Yuan Cong was very uncomfortable.

If he had known that the Wuyue Sword School was playing like this, he would have detained the Songshan School and the Hengshan School, and it would be impossible to let the two thugs leave.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world. Now that both factions have entered Guanzhong, it's too late to make trouble.

Fangzheng smiled slightly and said, "Master, with the grievances between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, they will fight sooner or later. Even if the Huashan, Hengshan, and Songshan factions want to hide, the Taishan and Hengshan factions will drag them into the water.

Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Mount Heng falls, and Mount Tai may not be able to hold on.

No matter how they calculate, they will always help the two factions to take back the mountain gate. Otherwise, the Five Sacred Sword Sect would become the biggest laughing stock in the world. "

Because of the geographic location, the conflict of interest between the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Demon Cult has reached the bottom line of both parties, and there is no way to compromise.

First, the Huashan faction was attacked at the mountain gate and the younger generation suffered heavy losses, and then the Hengshan faction was tortured and lost half of their lives.

Anyone who suspects collusion with the Demon Cult does not need to suspect the Five Sacred Sword Sect. This pair of enemies are deadly enemies, which is recognized by the entire martial arts world.

Looking at the confident disciple, Yuan Cong shook his head: "The Five Sacred Sword Sect will indeed face off against the Demon Cult, but the time cannot be determined.

There is something wrong with the Demon Cult's recent behavior. The battlefields everywhere seem to be huge, but I always feel that this is fake.

Shanxi definitely doesn't have the main force of the Devil's Cult, otherwise, it wouldn't be too late to win Mount Heng.

Shandong is probably not the main force of the Demon Cult, otherwise they would not be able to leave the Taishan faction alone.

Blood flowed in the south, but the most casualties were small and medium forces, as if they had reached a tacit agreement with the Wudang faction to limit the conflict within a certain range.

The behavior of the Demon Cult that entered the Central Plains was even more weird. While expressing goodwill to us, they kept recruiting our affiliated forces.

If you don't follow suit, you will kill the door immediately, and you don't pay attention to us at all.

If the Five Sacred Sword Sect doesn't show up again, the Demon Cult will probably come after me, Shaolin.

After all, the person in the Forbidden City barely concealed his distaste for Buddhism. The imperial court's infiltration of the Devil's Cult is very strong, I hope I am worrying too much. "

There is no other way, there must be a protagonist in the war between good and evil. The Devil's Cult is naturally the Sun Moon God Sect, but no one on the Righteous Way is willing to stand in the foreground?

If Wuyue Sword Sect and Wudang do not take the lead, then it can only be Shaolin. Anyway, these three companies are qualified.

After a little thought, Fangzheng said solemnly: "Master, form an alliance with Wudang!"

"In the current situation, we have to make a choice. Not long ago, we plotted against the Huashan faction, and now Ning Qingyu is gnashing his teeth with hatred for us.

At this time, the Five Sacred Sword Sect retreated to Guanzhong, probably it was his revenge. If the Demon Cult attacks Shaolin, the Five Sacred Sword Sect will certainly not be able to count on it.

Now only Wudang has the same interests as us. The Devil's Cult's entry into the south of the Yangtze River has seriously affected Wudang's interests, and they definitely don't want to see the Devil's Cult take root there. "

"Alliance with Wudang", this is not the first time Fangzheng has proposed. Ever since he learned the details of the Battle of Luoyang, Fang Zheng had the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Wudang.

In his opinion, the rivers and lakes are divided into four camps, and it is very dangerous for Shaolin to be hostile to the other three camps at the same time.

It's a pity that although Fangzheng is the heir, he still can't change the fact that he speaks lightly. The older generation in the temple is still immersed in the splendor of Shaolin, and they are very optimistic about the struggle of orthodoxy.

The alliance with Wudang is not only an alliance between two great factions, but also involves the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

Unless the Buddhist side makes substantive concessions, the Daoist sect will definitely not agree. After all, what the Zhu family is promoting now is to uphold Taoism and suppress Buddhism, and the power of Taoism in the Jianghu is not weaker than that of Buddhism.

In addition to Wudang School, there are Huashan School, Tianshan School, Taishan School, Qingcheng School, Laoshan School, Kongtong School, Kunlun School...

Even if they want to find an ally, the Wudang faction can also find it within the Taoist sect. There is no need to choose Shaolin, an old enemy, and find it uncomfortable for themselves.

In the original book, Shaolin and Wudang are close, which is based on the fact that their own family has been greatly damaged by the scourge of Dongfang Bubai, and the Huashan faction, another pillar of Taoism, has declined.

After hesitating again and again, Yuan Cong nodded: "You can try it out first, and if the price offered by the Wudang faction is not high, then discuss it.

But don't expect too much, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is not so easy to eliminate, and the grievances between us and the Wudang faction have continued for hundreds of years. Unless they are forced to, they will not give up easily.

At the critical moment, we still have to rely on ourselves, and we will recall the lay disciples who are abroad from now on. At the same time, the order of the Jianghu was issued, inviting all the factions of the Jianghu to come to Shaoshi Mountain to hold the Anti-Demon Conference.

This is the letter I prepared, and I will immediately send it to South Shaolin, Shengchan Temple, Guanyin Pavilion, Daxiangguo Temple, Lingyin Temple, White Horse Temple, Shuilian Temple...

Maybe it's because we have been silent for too long, and the world has forgotten my reputation as Shaolin. Just use this war between good and evil to let them know who is the master of this arena.

It's fine if the Demon Sect doesn't come, but if it dares to come, let them know that I, Shaolin, can't be humiliated. "

Not wanting to fight does not mean not daring to fight.

The number one sect in the world is not blown out, relying on the background of Shaolin Temple, it is really not afraid of the Devil's Cult.

What's more, there is also the support of Buddhism. Although these famous Buddhist temples are not well-known in the rivers and lakes, there are not a few monks, and there are many masters among them.

If it wasn't for worrying about attracting greater fear from the imperial court, and not daring to reveal all its power, the Buddhism's momentum in the Jianghu would have risen to a higher level.
