Life in the world of film and television

After the demonic sect's power in various places shrank, the world was calm. Within the demonic sect, the weak and the strong were already strong, and the winner was king. Since there were not many senior leaders left, the remaining elders and hall leaders began to fight for power and gain, hoping to sit on the throne of the leader.

For a time, the fighting became so fierce that the world that had just been calm once again became chaotic.

Looking at Ren Yingying, who was a little distracted, Li Mu said: "You are also a holy aunt of the Demon Sect. Do you want to go down the mountain and compete?"

Ren Yingying said "Ah": "What?"

Li Mu said simply: "Do you want to be the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Ren Yingying's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "The Holy Cult is now divided into pieces. The elders and church leaders are very ambitious and want to sit on the throne of the leader."

"Unless a peerless master emerges who can crush all opposition voices and forces and bring everyone back to their hearts, only then can we secure the throne of the leader."

"Otherwise, by virtue of my status as a holy aunt, even if I am lucky enough to become the leader of the church, I will be just a puppet at the front desk. I might be killed one day and take away the position of leader."

Li Mu said: "What if I help you! Eliminate all opposition forces."

Ren Yingying stared at him with a pair of bright eyes: "Why, I am a demon sect witch. The Holy Religion is divided and killing each other. Isn't it a good thing for you to dream of? Why do you want to help me unify the Holy Religion? ?End the dispute.”

"In this way, in a few years, when our holy religion recovers its strength, won't it be the life-or-death enemy of your righteous way in the world again?"

Li Mu said: "Why do we have to be enemies of life and death? In fact, it doesn't have to be so many disputes."

Ren Yingying looked at him with a smile: "It's not like you said such innocent words?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "How naive! I don't think so, I just sigh that your demon sect has such a strong organizational and coordination ability, so many followers, and even all the three religions and nine streams in the world, evil masters, ghosts and snake gods, can all be under your control Take action on command.”

"Is it such a waste to use such a powerful force in the struggle between rivers and lakes?"

Ren Yingying said: "Is it a waste? Isn't that the way it is? The world is so big, there are so many territories, and there are so many resources. How can we survive without fighting over each other?"

"As long as we fight for it, a struggle will naturally come. Our holy religion controls so many resources, even if we don't want to take action, all the factions in the world will take action against us."

"The struggle for interests and the proof of survival are inevitable at any cost."

Li Mu smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. The struggle for interests and survival is inevitable. The martial arts factions in the Central Plains have to fight for this and have to take action."

"But, the world is not just here, there are many, many places. Many resources there are even richer than the Central Plains, and the area is even wider than the entire Ming Dynasty. However, they lack the necessary manpower and have not been developed."

"With such powerful organizational capabilities, so much human and financial resources, and so many capable people, the Demon Sect can completely organize some of its people to jump out of the Central Plains martial arts chessboard."

"Only then will you realize that the world outside the Ming Dynasty is so big, with so many resources that make people jealous, but the indigenous people who occupy these resources are so weak that the Demon Sect can destroy their entire country by sending just one member of the demon sect there. ”

"This is when you will realize that it is so stupid to waste so much material and financial resources, kill and injure so many masters, and compete with the Central Plains Wulin for limited resources. With these manpower and material resources, the resources that can be seized outside are more than ten times. "

Ren Yingying was stunned by what he said. In Ren Yingying's impression, the Ming Dynasty was in the world, and the outside of the Ming Dynasty was a barbaric land full of poisonous diseases.

Now Li Mu told her that there were many resource-rich treasure lands outside the Ming Dynasty, and the local natives were so weak that the Demon Sect could destroy the country and massacre the city with just a single move.

"Really?"

Li Mu said: "Of course it is true."

As he spoke, he casually drew a sea map on the ground, and drew an archipelago near Daming.

Li Mu pointed to the largest island in the archipelago and said, "Have you ever heard of Luzon Island?"

Ren Yingying thought for a while and said: "I seem to have heard that it is a big island overseas. The big ships of Sanbao Eunuch often anchor there when they go to sea."

Li Mu said: "Yes! This big island called Luzon is as big as Zhejiang. It is rich in gold and the land is extremely fertile. It has three crops a year. If it is developed, it will amount to tens of millions of acres of fertile land."

"In the third year of Yongle, Zheng He, the three-guarantor eunuch, led a huge fleet to Luzon. According to Emperor Yongle's edict, Xu Chailao of Jinjiang was appointed as the governor of Luzon, and he held the power for more than 20 years."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has long since lost control of this place, the so-called governor has also disappeared. The entire Luzon is in disarray. With the ability of the Demon Cult, it can easily control the entire Luzon."

"How much of the output of directly controlling a province as large as a province is not as great as the benefits of fighting for the martial arts in the Central Plains?"

Ren Yingying's eyes lit up. The Demonic Sect was now severely weakened. Instead of swallowing its glory in the Central Plains martial arts world, it would be better to go overseas and directly occupy a piece of territory.

"What you said makes sense, but is Luzon Island too far away from the Ming Dynasty? If the transportation information is not transmitted conveniently, even if they are disciples of the Holy Cult, they will easily escape control."

Li Mu said: "Actually, although Luzon Island is in the open sea, it is not too far away. The distance from Guangzhou to Jinling is farther than from Guangzhou to Luzon Island."

"Not only Luzon Island, but if the Demonic Cult has enough strength, the Nanyang Islands, which are no less than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, can be brought under the control of the power, and immigrants can be immigrated from the Central Plains area for further development."

"It is not impossible to support a group of small vassal states in the future, or to directly establish a country based on religion."

Ren Yingying was dumbfounded by Li Mu's words. Compared with the idea he proposed, the Demon Sect had so much manpower and material resources and was fighting against a bunch of Jianghu sects every day. It was indeed a bit unsightly.

Ren Yingying was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "But I'm not the leader of the Holy Cult yet?"

Li Mu said: "Can I help you sit on it?"

Ren Yingying said: "You are an upright disciple of a well-known family. Are you not afraid of damaging your reputation by helping me, a demon sect witch, fight for the position of leader?"

Li Mu said: "I don't care much about reputation, but that's what you said."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "Then, from today on, the person you will meet is Li Mu, a top master who studied abroad as a child and returned after completing his studies. Lin Pingzhi is still a high disciple of Huashan. , one of the most well-known young knights in Jianghu Zhengdao, has nothing to do with the demon sect. "

Ren Yingying was surprised and said: "Mr. Lin...you?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "From now on, call me Mr. Li. Mr. Lin is a righteous knight and a high disciple of Huashan. The two of them have nothing to do with each other."

Ren Yingying smiled: "What should I do if I get used to calling him Mr. Lin?"

Li Mu said with an upright face: "Then I, the young hero Lin of Huashan, will be incompatible with you, the demon sect's enchantress?"

Li Mu did this not because he was fascinated by beauty, or because he was simply kind-hearted and helped Ren Yingying take the position of leader of the Demon Cult.

The main reason is that after a breakthrough in martial arts, the next period of time will definitely be boring, so it is better to find something interesting to do.

The Devil's Cult is such a huge organization, with such abundant manpower and material resources. It would be too wasteful to use it to wander around in the world. It is better to use it, make some experiments, and pass the time.

It would also be good for the Central Plains martial arts community to send all these three religions and heretics overseas to open up wasteland and expand the territory, causing harm to the indigenous people.

The two talked for a while and reached a consensus.

Ren Yingying said: "When should we take action?"

Li Mu said: "Just these two days! You should screen your former subordinates, or those who have been favored by you, to see which ones are available. Let's meet first."

"If we want to compete for the position of leader, we can't do it without the internal support. We can't just attack Blackwood Cliff directly. That would cause too much noise and there's no need."

Ren Yingying nodded: "Okay!" Two days later, Li Mu asked his wife, Ning Zhongze, to take a long leave, saying that staying in Huashan was boring and planned to travel around the world and then go home to stay for a while.

Linghu Chong has also returned, the Demon Sect has retreated, and there is no danger at Huashan Mountain Gate. There is no need for Li Mu to sit in guard every day. It is okay for young people to run around if they want, so naturally they agree.

So, Li Mu took Ren Yingying and Qu Feiyan out of Huashan amidst laughter and laughter, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

Ren Woxing led his troops to attack Heimu Cliff, but failed and was seriously injured. He kidnapped Yang Lianting, escaped from Heimu Cliff, and retreated to Shaolin Temple. Then Dongfang Bubai followed closely and led the seven elders of the Demon Sect to besiege the Shaolin Temple.

A lot of things seemed to have happened during this period, but in fact it didn't last long.

In particular, it only took two or three days from the time Ren Woxing led his troops to attack Heimu Cliff, to the time he failed and was seriously injured, took Yang Lianting hostage, and escaped from Heimu Cliff.

Dongfang Bubai ignored the religious affairs for a long time and was very unfamiliar with the followers below. He only wanted to save Yang Lianting and had no time or inclination to deal with the followers who were friendly to Ren Yingying as the holy aunt.

Even if the incident spread later, only Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting's direct descendants were able to arrest Ren Yingying, while the other personnel only worked hard and even provided help secretly.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Yingying and Qu Feiyan to escape to Huashan from the siege of the Demon Cult.

Just when these people were afraid that Dongfang Bubai would settle accounts, news came out that Dongfang Bubai and the seven elders of the Demon Sect had all died in the Shaolin Temple.

In this way, not only are these people okay, but their strength is preserved because they are not working hard.

Nowadays, these people have naturally become the backbone of support for Ren Yingying.

During the month following Ren Yingying's contact with the old department, Li Mu fully realized the power of the Holy Sister of the Devil's Cult. Everyone who saw Ren Yingying was trembling with fear and respect.

It also allowed Li Mu to see another side of Ren Yingying, which is mysterious, cold and cannot be blasphemed.

Things went more smoothly than expected. As the daughter of the former leader and the current holy aunt, she had a transcendent status. After Dongfang Bubai died, many people thought that taking the position of leader was natural, at least compared to those elders and elders who were fighting for power. The hall master is more qualified.

In this way, in more than a month, Ren Yingying mastered and recovered a large number of forces, including many real masters. These were all done by Li Mu himself.

After all, there are thorns everywhere, and there are arrogant people everywhere. I am ambitious, or I prefer which elder or leader, or I feel that Ren Yingying is just a woman, how can I be the leader of the church.

Facing these people, Li Mu showed no signs of dissatisfaction even after showing off his martial arts a little. Many people within the Demon Sect now know that Ren Yingying invited a young peerless master from overseas to help her fight for the position of leader. This man's martial arts skills are as advanced as those of Dongfang Bubai.

Some people also asked about his origins, but they only knew that his surname was Li. When he appeared in public, he always wore a silver mask that covered half of his face.

Some people guessed that this was a master who was sent by Ren Woxing to a secluded master overseas to be carefully trained. He was not even willing to invite him back to Heimuya, specifically to protect Ren Yingying from becoming the leader of the cult in the future.

Others said that it was the Holy Aunt who, with her stunning beauty, brought this peerless master who had returned from overseas under her sway. In the future, he might become the Holy Aunt's husband, and the couple would jointly rule the Holy Cult.

Faced with these rumors, Ren Yingying was just a little shy, but she didn't explain anything. Naturally, Li Mu didn't care and allowed the news to ferment.

Within the Demon Sect, the impact of these news was quite severe, especially those who wanted to choose sides.

Hearing that Saint Aunt brought a peerless master back to Blackwood Cliff, he still didn't know which side to choose.

Those who were ambitious for the position of leader, after hearing the news, tossed and turned, thinking about whether their martial arts skills could survive three moves under others, quietly extinguished their ambitions, and then hurriedly lined up. Don't let the holy aunt have a grudge.

In this way, under the general trend, although there are still two or three ambitious people who refuse to give up and are determined to compete for the big position, there is nothing to say.

Without shedding some blood and shocking the ambitious people in the sect, Ren Yingying would not be able to do anything stable.

Heimuya is located in Hebei Province, from Hengshan Mountain to the east, and soon arrived at Pingding Prefecture. More than forty miles northwest of Pingding Prefecture, the mountains and rocks are as red as blood, and there is a long beach with fast currents. That is the famous Orangutan Beach.

Going further north is where Blackwood Cliff is. This place is remote and dangerous, with dangerous mountains and fast water. If you want to enter Blackwood Cliff, you must pass through a stone path about five feet wide and seven miles long. There are cliffs on both sides of the stone path. There are at least hundreds of demon sect members guarding both sides of the road, and they are heavily guarded.

After passing this stone path, there is a small lake. There are church members patrolling the lake at all times.

A towering solitary cliff on the other side of the lake is the Blackwood Cliff General Altar. There is no road leading directly to the top of the cliff. The only way to reach the top of the cliff is to ride on a bamboo basket with a winch and noose.

With such a terrain and such tight defense, it can be said that it is simply wishful thinking to break through this place.

The Demon Sect is still able to sit back and relax despite being an evil force. In addition to other complex reasons, it is also inseparable from the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Heimuya.

This is not like a martial arts sect, but more like a large military camp. Sure enough, letting the Demon Cult hang out in the world is overkill, and they are more suitable to expand their territory overseas.

By the time Li Mu and Ren Yingying arrived at Heimu Cliff, more than half of the church members supported and sought refuge. In the end, there were only two or three ambitious and unrepentant people left. The rebellious elder was nailed to the stone wall, and there was no obstacle for Ren Yingying to ascend to the position of leader.

At the top of Heimu Cliff is a majestic palace. In front of the palace stands a huge white marble archway with four golden characters on the archway: "Ze Bei Common People".
The sun shines from the east and shines on the four golden characters "Ze Bei Cang Sheng", emitting a dazzling golden light.

If you want to enter the inner hall, you must pass through a long corridor, which is only about thirty feet wide but about three hundred feet deep. It looks long and depressing. There are some figures carved on the stone walls on both sides.

After walking out of the corridor, the sight suddenly opened up. It was a very spacious hall. At the end of the hall was a large screen. In front of the screen was a high copper pedestal. On both sides of the copper pedestal were engraved two lines of large characters. On the right was "Wen Chengwu" "Virtue", on the left is "Benevolence, Righteousness and Wiseness", and on the banner above there are four big red characters "Sun and Moon Brightness" engraved on it.

This is naturally the throne of the leader of the Demon Cult!

Under Li Mu's gaze, Ren Yingying sat up slowly but firmly, and then there was a roar of mountains and tsunami.

"Subordinates see the leader. The leader has developed martial arts and will rule the world for thousands of years."

As the sound rang out, the people below suddenly knelt on the ground.

These words are probably said frequently on weekdays, but now they are spoken with ease and proficiency.

Ren Yingying waved her sleeves and said, "Everyone, please get up."

……

After a series of ceremonies, Ren Yingying officially ascended the throne as the leader of the Demon Cult.

Li Mu was quite curious about Heimuya, especially the inner treasury that was said to be in charge of the leader himself. Not to mention how many rare treasures there were in it, just the martial arts secrets collected by past leaders could drive many martial arts people crazy.

For example, the Demon Sect once attacked Wudang Mountain and robbed a "Tai Chi Sutra" handwritten by Zhang Sanfeng and the Zhenwu sword he wore when he was young. From then on, Tai Chi fell into the hands of the Demon Sect and was sent to the inner treasury, where it was used by successive leaders. collect.

In addition, during the war between good and evil that lasted for hundreds of years, many of the martial arts inheritance of the right way were snatched away by the evil sect. Of course, it is not necessarily to grab the secret book, but to capture a group of righteous disciples, torture them, and restore the complete secret book by comparing them with each other.

Just like the stone carvings of the Five Mountains in the Huashan Cave, why are the ten elders of the Demon Sect so proficient in the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains? Just one fight, they have learned all the exquisite swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword School, and can even use it on the stone wall. It’s ridiculous to draw the sword manual and the method to crack it.

If all the ten elders of the Demon Sect had such peerless talents, they would have dominated the world long ago, so what kind of fights would they have?

The truth is that the Demon Sect has these sword techniques in its collection. Before the battle between the two sides, the ten elders of the Demon Sect had already learned these sword techniques, studied them painstakingly, and came up with corresponding methods to break them.

This is the reason why they were able to leave not only accurate sword manuals but also the method of cracking them in the secret cave of Siguoya.

Now, after so many years, many martial arts have actually been lost on the righteous side. Instead, there are still inheritances of these martial arts in the inner treasury of the Demon Sect.

Li Mu had to be curious about this. (End of chapter)
