Chapter 811
Wudang handed over the Taoist token to express his surrender, but for Jin Yiwei, this matter can only be said to be mixed.

First of all, although the Taoist Token can command the Taoist disciples all over the world in name, in fact, this authority is barely usable in Wudang's hands, but if it is changed, it may not be much better than a piece of paper.

With the strength of Wudang, it took several generations to manage it. After all the masters of other sects withered away, Qi Yunzi became the most respected Taoist master, and then he was barely able to command the lower Taoist sects.

It is useless for Jin Yiwei to get this token, no sect will obey them, even if it is the power of the court, no Taoist disciple will choose to bow his head.

This is not ignorance of current affairs, but the power base of these Taoist sects comes from the Jianghu. Unless they can complete the class jump like the Yuwen family, once they abandon their foundation, they will immediately become castles in the air and disappear in a flash.

Taoism is different from the Yuwen family. If the imperial court is willing to accommodate these Taoist temples, then Taoism will not take root in the rivers and lakes.

So this token was handed over to Jin Yiwei, and it could almost be called useless.

But if it is really useless, it is not necessarily true. Wudang Fengshan shunned Jinyiwei, but he did not give the token to the rest of the Taoist sect, but gave it to Jinyiwei.

In this way, because no one is willing to obey Jin Yiwei's order, and at the same time, they can't choose a second person who can lead the Taoist sect in the world, so the disintegration of the entire Taoist sect is already foreseeable.

Taoism is different from the Buddhism introduced from foreign countries. As an ancient sect rooted in the country, each of them has different inheritance and beliefs, so the union between them is very fragile, and the nature of Taoists yearns for freedom and does not like restraint .

The existence of the Daomen Token made the Taoists have to unite due to the agreement made by their predecessors. Once the token loses its original utility, it is conceivable that the Daomen sect who has untied the shackles may never want to go back to the past up.

And this is the true sincerity that Qi Yunzi wants to give to Jin Yiwei, and only Wudang, who has lost his status as the head teacher of the Taoist sect, can truly cross off his name from the imperial court's blacklist.

"Headmaster Qiyunzi, no, I really feel the sincerity of the headmaster Qiyunzi."

Lu Hanjiang accepted the token, and he promised Shangyangzi: "If Wudang can practice Taoism on the mountain quietly in the future, even if the incense is more prosperous, I think the court will tolerate it."

Shangyangzi's face was ashen, and his eyes were lifeless. After he heard this, he just gave Lu Hanjiang a slap in the face, said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Lu Hanjiang suddenly stopped the other party again: "Master Shangyangzi, I have one more word to say, please stay."

Shangyangzi stopped, turned around, and only listened to Lu Hanjiang said: "I intend to write a letter to Your Majesty to pursue the head of Qiyunzi, who went first, with the name of a great Taoist sage. I don't know what to do with it?"

It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to be rewarded by the court, but all of these rewarded figures are completely loyal to the court.

Lu Hanjiang's remark was a temporary idea, he wanted to see Shang Yangzi's attitude, but unfortunately, although the other party's heart was dead, he was still unwilling to bring the Wudang faction on this road.

"Thank you sir for your kindness. My senior brother is just a villager, and Wudang is a small sect. I'm afraid he won't be honored with such an honor." Shang Yangzi chose to decline the olive branch offered by Lu Hanjiang.

"Pity."

Lu Hanjiang shook his head and sighed: "Since this is the case, then I don't want to force others to do anything, but my identity is a court secret, so I would like to ask Shang Yangzi for a small favor, don't let my identity Leak out."

Shangyangzi took a deep look at Lu Hanjiang, and then said indifferently: "Don't worry, my lord, this secret will definitely be kept secret by Pindao."

"Excuse me, Daoist."

Lu Hanjiang stood with a smile on his face. After seeing off Shangyangzi, he gave Yan Feng a look at him. The latter understood, hung behind him from a distance, and followed him back to Wudang Mountain.

If Shangyangzi could understand Qiyunzi's painstaking efforts, he should also understand the implication of Lu Hanjiang's words. Above the rivers and lakes, regardless of sect or individual, all they rely on is power and martial arts.

The two are intertwined and almost inseparable. Now that Wudang has cut off his arms and handed over the Taoist order to seal the mountain for self-defense, what is left to make the court and Jin Yiwei uneasy is martial arts.

As for the entire Wudang faction from top to bottom, apart from the sect leader, Qi Yunzi, only Shangyangzi is the most troublesome.

His swordsmanship is superb, and his internal strength is the best in the world. Mr. Meng, who is feigning death, can't be counted. Unless Lu Hanjiang personally takes action, it will be difficult for Jin Yiwei to find a second person who can hold the opponent firmly.

And this point is naturally very taboo for Jin Yiwei. With such a master in Wudang who is unrivaled in the world, how can Jin Yiwei and the court feel at ease.

After Yan Feng returned to Wudang Mountain with Shangyangzi, the huge Wudang faction was empty and lifeless. The great elder had already gathered the bones of Qi Yunzi and the corpses of the disciples who died in battle.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the desk, writing letters one after another. Half a day later, Shangyangzi went down the mountain once and sent out the letters to recall the Wudang disciples who had gone out. After the first time back to Wudang.

Shang Yangzi came to the questioning platform, sat on the stone bench, and stared down at the endgame. After a long time, he picked up a sunspot and filled it into the air hole of the endgame.

In vain.

Shang Yangzi stared at the chess game, dazed for a long time. He waited from noon until night fell, and there was no second guest on the asking platform.

He stood up and looked at the tumbling sea of ​​clouds, and after a long sigh, he went down the mountain and returned to the Zixiao Great Hall. Yan Feng, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, leaned on the door frame and embraced his hands. The two seemed to be unable to see each other, and they did not speak to each other. .

Yan Feng watched coldly as Shangyangzi entered the Zixiao Hall, and pulled out the Heavenly Fiend Sword inserted into the ground. The pale sword body was slowly stained with bright red, and the heart-stopping scream resounded through the hall.

Shangyangzi caressed the blade of the sword, his eyes were as calm as water, he looked up at the broken half-length statue of Emperor Zhenwu, he flipped his hands across his neck, the blade moved slightly, and a gleam of blood flashed from his neck.

Tick.

Blood slid down the edge of the sword, Shang Yangzi closed his eyes, his body was like a pine tree, standing still, only the scarlet color continued to flow, slowly taking away the last consciousness of the old Taoist priest.

After a long time, Yan Feng stepped into the hall, put his hand on the tip of Shangyangzi's nose, and after confirming that he was silent, he turned and left.

Walking outside the main hall, Yan Feng turned around and looked at Shang Yangzi, who was still alive, his eyes moved slightly, he slightly raised his hand, and after clasping his fists towards the corpse, he strode away.

The next day, following Shang Yangzi's letter urgently calling his disciples back to the mountain, another shocking news came out.

According to legend, the leader of Xuantian sect came back out of the rivers and lakes, the gate of Wudang Mountain was destroyed, the head of the sect Qi Yunzi, and the great elder Shangyangzi all died unexpectedly.
