Dominate the Heavens: Starting from the Foreign History of Wulin

Chapter 368: The Ghost King's Void Hand
The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to summon Lu Ye for the second time.

Lu Ye and Bai Fanghua entered the imperial study together. A young man in his twenties, wearing a yellow shirt, stood respectfully beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Yunwen, come forward and greet Mr. Lu!"

Zhu Yunwen is the grandson of Shan Yuru, the leader of the Tianming Sect. In terms of intelligence, he may be more powerful than Zhu Yuanzhang. At this moment, he has certainly collected all the information about Lu Ye and immediately stepped forward to pay a visit.

Lu Ye smiled and helped Zhu Yunwen up, then left the imperial study with him!
Zhu Yunwen asked politely, "Mr. Lu, do you want to go to the Eastern Palace immediately and take over the power of the Eastern Palace's Left and Right Guards, or are you interested in walking with Yunwen?"

Lu Ye asked in surprise: "Grandson wants to take a walk in the imperial city?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Not long ago, Grandpa Emperor proposed marriage to the Ghost King, but was rejected. Grandpa Emperor is considering Yunwen's marriage with Zhuang Qingshuang of the Xining Sect. He ordered me to visit the Xining Taoist temple more often, and wait until both sides have established a certain relationship, so as not to be too abrupt."

"Mr. Lu and Miss Bai, would you mind going to Xining Dojo with Yun Wen?"

"I see!"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "I've heard for a long time that Zhuang Qingshuang is one of the ten great beauties in the martial arts world. She is also the daughter of Zhuang Jie, the leader of the Xining sect among the eight great sects of the righteous path. It can be said to be a great joy for the crown prince to marry such a beauty. Lu Ye is here to congratulate the crown prince. In this case, let's go and take a look together!"

As they were talking, the group turned and headed towards Xining Street.

The Xining School, one of the eight major righteous schools, was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted confidant. He valued it very much and supported it vigorously.

Not only was a "Xining Dojo" established for the Xining Sect in Yingtian City, allowing it to recruit disciples in Yingtian City, but all disciples of the Xining Sect were also given priority to join the various armies belonging to the imperial court and to obtain important positions.

From this we can see that the influence of the Xining faction in the military is no less than that of the Ghost King's Palace.

In Yingtian Prefecture, the entire street near the Xining Taoist temple was named "Xining Street", which shows how much favor Zhu Yuanzhang showed to the Xining School.

Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Xining faction in this way, and the Xining faction naturally reciprocated the favor and showed great respect to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Upon hearing that Zhu Yunwen was coming in person, the head of the Xining School, Jiuzhi Piaoxiang Zhuangjie, personally led his two junior fellow disciples, Laosou Sha Fangtian and Mieqingshou Ye Sudong, to greet him.

Zhuang Jie is a 40-year-old middle-aged man wearing purple gorgeous clothes. He has an extraordinary appearance and excellent looks and demeanor. If not, how could he have given birth to the ten most famous beauties in the world?

Sha Fangtian's nickname is Silverbeard. He has white hair, which makes people suspect that he is at least sixty years old.

The love killer Ye Sudong is a shrewd and capable middle-aged man who looks to be no more than 40 years old.

The three of them first bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunwen, then looked at Lu Ye one after another, and said in a dignified manner: "This must be Mr. Lu. His song yesterday shook the capital. When I was still sleeping late at night, I heard the servants report that such a shocking thing happened in the capital. Mr. Lu is really amazing. With such martial arts, our Xining faction is ashamed of itself."

"Sir, your arrival this time is a blessing from heaven. Please be willing to give some pointers to these useless disciples of the Xining Sect!"

Lu Ye smiled and shook his head: "I will definitely do my best!"

Zhu Yunwen said politely: "Uncle Zhuang, the emperor ordered me to come and see Qingshuang. I wonder where Qingshuang is now?"

"this!"

After Zhuang Jie realized what was happening, he quickly said, "This girl is either practicing sword skills in the back garden or meditating and practicing qigong in the secret room. Grandson, don't worry. Qingshuang didn't go out today."

As he spoke, Zhuang Jie turned around and instructed the disciples around him, "Go and ask your third sister to come out and tell them that the crown prince is here to visit!"

The older generation of Xining sect, besides the famous Three Elders of Xining, also has Ye Sudong's elder sister, whose name is Crazy Swordsman Ye Qiuxian. However, this Ye Qiuxian has a hot temper and a simple mind. She often does things without considering the consequences, causing a lot of trouble. Her martial arts skills and prestige are not enough to be listed among the fourth elders. She can be regarded as an ordinary master of Xining sect.

Among the younger generation, there are three great masters, namely Jian Zhengming of Youzisan, Sha Qianli of Yangshou, and Zhuang Qingshuang of Xiangjian.

The three great masters and Crazy Grandma Jian are collectively known as the four great masters of the Xining School.

The Xining sect disciple left, and after a while, a young girl in plain white clothes walked out.

The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and fair skin. In terms of facial features, she was slightly better than Bai Fanghua. No wonder she was listed among the top ten beauties.

What is most rare is that she has such a cool and elegant temperament that it seems she can completely freeze the entire room.

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward and said, "Qingshuang, Grandfather Emperor has decided to let me marry the Xining Sect. It will only take some time before we get married."

When these words were spoken, Zhuang Jie and Lu Ye's expressions changed slightly.

Does Zhu Yunwen have a low emotional intelligence?

Zhuang Qingshuang was known for being cold as ice.

How could I talk like that when I saw Zhuang Qingshuang?

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhu Yunwen said, Zhuang Qingshuang hesitated for a moment and said, "That means the emperor has decided to give me to you, right?"

Zhu Yunwen finally realized that something was wrong and quickly explained, "That's not the case. Grandfather Emperor hasn't made a final decision yet, so he asked me to come to Xining Dojo to get along with him."

Zhuang Jie immediately ordered, "Qingshuang, it's rare for the crown prince to come to Xining Daochang, so we must not neglect him. You come and walk with him, and let him appreciate the various places in our Daochang and the scenery of Xining Street."

Lu Ye saw it clearly.

Zhuang Jie, the father-in-law, really spared no effort in selling his daughter.

Although Zhuang Qingshuang looks cold and aloof, it would be a mistake to think that she is really rebellious.

In fact, although Zhuang Qingshuang would complain to her father from time to time, in front of and behind his back, she was actually extremely obedient. No matter what, she never refuted any decision of Zhuang Jie in public.

Hearing Zhuang Jie's words, Zhuang Qingshuang hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly nodded and agreed, saying, "Crown Prince, come with me."

I saw the two of them leave together.

Lu Ye smiled and looked at the three elders of Xining. He said, "Yesterday evening, the emperor summoned me overnight and ordered me to serve as the crown prince's guard in the Eastern Palace. I am thinking of borrowing some available personnel from the Xining sect to train a fighting force for the Eastern Palace. Can the Xining sect help me?"

Zhuang Jie was surprised and asked, "What does Brother Lu want to do with this martial arts force?"

Lu Ye said: "I want to be one step ahead and subdue all the gangs and righteous sects in the Central Plains and use them for my own purposes, so as to counter Pang Ban of the Magician Palace."

Ye Sudong said: "If this is the case, ordinary disciples will not be able to accomplish anything. Only Sha Weng can come out of seclusion."

Sha Fangtian smiled and said, "I haven't walked in the martial arts world for many years. However, since it is the Crown Prince's business, how can our Xining Sect ignore it? Brother Lu, if you need anything, Sha Fangtian will definitely do his best to help you."

Lu Ye said happily: "Lu will never forget the contribution of Xining Sect."

Lu Ye thought for a while.

It can be said that he knew nothing about the Xining School's martial arts. Even Fanyunfuyu had never mentioned the Xining School's true martial arts techniques.

However, Lu Ye had heard of the Xining School's famous "Yang Hand" and "Mie Qing Hand" martial arts.

The Mieqing Dao in the Tang Dynasty world possesses these two unique skills in martial arts. I wonder if they are related to the Xining School at this moment?

In fact.

The Xining Sect is a famous righteous sect that rose after the Tang Dynasty. No one knows their origins or founder, but their martial arts routines are similar to the Destroying Love Dao, so it is likely related to the Destroying Love Dao of the Six Paths of the two demonic sects.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye suddenly discovered that Zhuang Qingshuang and Concubine Yin De actually had some similarities.

This similarity, of course, is not because of their similar looks, but because they have cultivated the same internal skills, which has formed a very similar body aura.

Lu Ye thought about it, his eyes flashed with strange light, and he split into three parts, transferring the complete Mieqing Dao martial arts into the three masters. Lu Ye said: "This is a martial arts that I got by chance, called Ziqi Tianluo. I feel that it may be compatible with your martial arts. The three of you can give it a try and see if you can practice it?"

"What? It's actually the Purple Qi Tianluo?"

The head of Xining sect, Jiuzhi Piaoxiang Zhuangjie, could not help but turn pale with shock.

His two fellow apprentices were also dismayed.

Seeing the curious looks on Lu Ye and Bai Fanghua's faces, Zhuang Jie took the initiative to explain, "The martial arts inherited by our Xining sect is called the Great Zhoutian Qigong Method. Legend has it that it originated from a sect called the Mieqing Dao during the Tang Dynasty. That sect also had martial arts such as the Mieqing Hand and the Yang Hand. However, the sect's most powerful martial arts, the Purple Qi Tianluo, which only the sect leaders of all generations could practice, has long been lost. We have visited the Central Plains martial arts world and have never heard of the whereabouts of the Mieqing Dao. Unexpectedly, Brother Lu actually has the martial arts of the Mieqing Dao, and it is the martial arts passed down by the sect leader. This..."

Sha Fangtian said: "The power of the Great Zhoutian Qigong is limited. It can only allow us to cultivate to the level of a beginner master. That's why the three of us brothers have achieved this. We originally thought that there was no hope of a breakthrough in this lifetime, but we didn't expect to get this martial art. If we have this skill to help us, our Xining sect will definitely be able to make great progress!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Jie took the lead and kowtowed heavily to Lu Ye to express his gratitude!

Lu Ye felt that the name sounded familiar from the beginning. He didn't expect that it was really the inheritance of the Way of Destroying Love, and moreover, it was the Way of Destroying Love without the Purple Qi Tianluo.

When you think about it, it makes sense!
This so-called world of ups and downs is actually the evolution of the orthodox historical world in which Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling achieved great success as grandmasters.

If it follows the original situation.

Xi Ying, the orthodox leader of the Destroying Love Sect, was beaten to death by Xu Ziling during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so the Purple Qi Tianluo was lost!

Since the two sects are of the same lineage, there shouldn't be any problem for them to switch their techniques, and they should be able to make great progress in martial arts very quickly.

Lu Ye smiled and said indifferently: "Sha Weng, you can practice while I leave. As for Yun Wen and Xining Sect, I, Lu Ye, will not disturb them. Let's go to the East Palace with Fang Hua first!"

"I have the imperial decree issued by the emperor to take charge of the Eastern Palace Guards. I don't think there will be any problem!"

"In that case!" Sha Fangtian said, "Brother Lu, follow me to the Eastern Palace. I know all the chief and deputy commanders of the Eastern Palace's left and right guards. The chief commander is called Mei Yin, nicknamed Ru Zong. Although he is a general, he actually practices Confucianism. He is well-read and talented in both civil and military affairs. He is one of the most famous figures in the capital. The emperor specially spoke earnestly and painstakingly to him and dispatched him to assist the grandson. I didn't expect that the grandson would not appreciate it and ignored such a master. Instead, he has been close to Huang Zicheng and other useless people who are more famous than real!"

Lu Ye smiled.

As a time traveler, he certainly knew that the reason why Zhu Yunwen was close to Huang Zicheng was because Huang Zicheng was a trustworthy follower of the Tianming Sect and a family member!
Mei Yin was assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang. Who knows if there would be any tricks? No wonder Zhu Yunwen disliked Mei Yin.

The three of them then walked side by side all the way to the East Palace. Not long after, they entered the East Palace.

Lu Ye handed the imperial edict to the soldiers guarding the city.

The two commanders of the Eastern Palace, Mei Yin and Sheng Yong, came together to pay their respects.

Lu Ye glanced at the two generals and couldn't help but feel surprised.

Originally, he thought that the three strongest masters under the command of the Crown Prince in the so-called Eastern Palace were Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai, three of whom were just beginning to become masters.

But I didn't expect it.

As soon as I entered the East Palace, I saw two powerful generals.

Among them, Mei Yin, a Confucian master who enjoyed great fame in the capital, was around 30 years old and possessed the power of an ordinary master.

Lu Ye stepped forward and helped the two generals up, saying, "You are Mei Yin and Sheng Yong!"

The second general said: "It is us two generals!"

Lu Ye said: "I am the Grand Guardian. From now on, the East Palace Guards are no longer ordinary guards placed in the East Palace, but elite troops who take on important tasks and fight in foreign wars."

Lu Ye introduced Sha Fangtian beside him to the two of them and said, "The biggest goal of the East Palace Guards is to fight against the demonic forces headed by Pang Ban from outside the domain. The most urgent task at the moment is to expand our power!"

"At the moment, I have four sects and gangs that I would like Commander Mei to personally invite to join the East Palace. I wonder if Commander Mei is willing?"

"Of course!"

Mei Yin said: "I wonder who the Shaobao wants to invite?"

Lu Ye said: "The first group I want to invite is the righteous sect Yandang Palace. Yandang Palace is a righteous sect. The head is Zen Master Zhishan. They have always been close to the court and want to use the power of the court to grow stronger. They are also righteous. There is absolutely no problem for them to join my East Palace forces. There will be no gossip. Time is tight. I want to lead this to be completed within a month."

Mei Yin said nonchalantly: "Absolutely no problem. Yandang Mountain is not far from here. I will send my trusted confidant to invite you. The two sides will hit it off immediately. There is no need to worry about success."

Lu Ye said: "The second sect is the Nanhai Sect. The Nanhai Sect was already famous during the Sui Dynasty. I don't know why it has become increasingly declining at this time. The current leader is Xi Muxiong, the Night Walker in Brocade Clothes. Tell him that there are the Nanhai Sect's Jialan Zen, Fengxu Yufeng, Golden Spear, Yizi Qimei Stick and other unique skills, as well as Chao Gongcuo's notes. He should be here soon."

"The third one is the Danqing Sword Sect. The sect leader is Han Bicui, who ranks ninth among the ten great beauties in the Central Plains. This sect is more difficult to get. Brother Mei, please do your best. If you can't invite her, then forget it."

Mei Yin said: "I will do my best!"

Lu Ye said: "Next is the Xiangshui Gang. The leader is Dadao Shangting, who has always been eager to revitalize the gang. The leader needs to lure them with benefits. He should promise that the brothers in the gang can take priority in important military positions and have a bright future. At the same time, he should require the Xiangshui Gang to abide by the laws of the court and help them find other ways to make money. In this way, it should be easy to conquer the Xiangshui Gang!"

Hearing Lu Ye talking eloquently, as if he knew everything about the four major gangs, everyone present was surprised.

but.

Everyone just suspected that Lu Ye had some secret source of information, but they didn't expect that he had read the original work in advance and was well aware of the subtle psychology of the four major sects.

These four gangs and sects either want to revive or are determined to rely on the imperial court, and they also have a decent reputation. After careful consideration, they are the only four martial arts forces that Lu Ye can positively accept.

As for other gangs and sects in Central Plains!
Except for Lang Fanyun's Angry Dragon Gang and Li Ruohai's Evil Sect, there is no gang in the world that cannot be destroyed.

After Mei Yin wrote down Lu Ye's information, he said loudly: "I will go down and make arrangements right away. I will definitely get this done as soon as possible!"

Lu Ye said: "I will be waiting for you in Chengdu in a month. We will gather a large group of people and enter Zunxin Gate together."

"Oh?"

Hearing Lu Ye say this, Mei Yin and Sha Qianli were both shocked. Sha Qianli asked, "Brother Lu, do you want to take action against the famous Zunxin Sect in Xichui?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Quite the opposite!"

"I have received reliable intelligence that the first martial arts force to be dealt with after Pang Ban's appearance is Zunxin Sect. At this moment, only I can save Chi Zunxin. Everyone, please try to select experts and hide your tracks. If you enter the area of ​​Zunxin Sect, do not rush to attack. Wait until Pang Ban and I have started fighting, and then attack with all your strength."

"Is that so?"

Mei Yin and Sha Fangtian were even more surprised at this moment than when they dealt with Chi Zunxin.

The two people thought silently: "I hope Lu Ye is not too arrogant and dies at the hands of Pang Ban in this battle."

Mei Yin hurriedly led some of his trusted men away to complete Lu Ye's instructions.

And at the same time.

Sha Fangtian obtained the Purple Qi Tianluo magical power and found a secret room in the East Palace to practice martial arts hard.

Lu Ye looked at Sheng Yong, the fierce general left over from the Eastern Palace, and said with a smile, "Commander Sheng, select 800 brave men who are not afraid of death and dare to fight tough battles from the two guards of the Eastern Palace. It doesn't matter if the number is a little small, the most important thing is that they dare to fight tough battles."

"Even if it's only 80 people, gather them together. We still have ten days to do this. I, Lu Ye, will do my best to train them. I hope they can learn something."

Sheng Yong accepted the order respectfully and left.

……

For the next period of time, Lu Ye stayed in the East Palace.

On the one hand, he taught Bai Fanghua to practice the other shore mind method, and on the other hand, he taught Sha Fangtian to practice the Purple Qi Tianluo.

At the same time, Lu Ye taught Sheng Yong and the eight hundred guards the "Iron Chewing Technique"!
Lu Ye did not teach them martial arts casually. During the period of changeable changes, except for the disciples from aristocratic families and famous families, the Ming army actually possessed military martial arts.

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty army is called "Tian Gang Zhen Qi"!
The first-level generals practice "Tian Gang Zheng Qi"!
Generals who have reached the level of founding duke or marshal practice the "Great Tiangang Righteousness".

and so.

The evolved version of military martial arts consists of three levels: Tiangang True Qi, Tiangang Righteous Qi, and Great Tiangang Righteous Qi.

Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang and a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, practiced the martial arts called Da Tian Gang Zheng Qi, and practiced this martial art to the point where the qi protected his body and made him invulnerable to swords and spears.

of course.

The so-called Gangqi body protection can only block some ordinary swords and knives. The internal energy of the top masters is pervasive. Even if you have practiced Gangqi martial arts, it is almost useless.

At this moment.

The Ming Dynasty soldiers practiced "Tian Gang Zhen Qi", which was actually a protective Qi that entered from the outside into the body. With the help of Zuo Youxian's Ziwu Shengang and Jue Tie Dafa, Lu Ye easily knew that among this kind of martial arts, practicing Jue Tie Dafa would make the fastest progress.

He immediately taught the iron-chewing method to all the officers and soldiers.

Zhu Yunwen's deputy commander Sheng Yong was originally a master who was as famous as Zhang Yu, one of the four great masters under the command of Prince of Yan. He cultivated the Tiangang Zhengqi and reached the level of an entry-level master. At this moment, he obtained the Chewing Iron Method. With the combination of the two martial arts, he made another step forward and was promoted to the level of an ordinary master.

The eight hundred soldiers were almost the same in strength, and in just ten days, they all became elite troops.

Sha Fangtian cultivated to the sixteenth level of Purple Qi Tianluo, the level of an ordinary master.

Bai Fanghua has successfully practiced the Other Shore Heart Method and can begin practicing the "Eighteen Bodhidharma Forms", but has not yet made any progress.

In just half a month, the strength of Lu Ye and his men has improved rapidly.

Simultaneously.

Zhu Yunwen's passionate pursuit of Zhuang Qingshuang finally came to an end.

Simply outrageous!

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, Zhuang Jie agreed, Zhu Yunwen was excited and looking forward to it, and Zhuang Qingshuang did not object...

However, such a marriage did not succeed, and Zhu Yunwen was almost furious at the Ghost King Xu Ruowu.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind, which is the last step.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to ask the ghost king Xu Ruowu to predict the fate of the two...

The result was nothing to say. Zhuang Qingshuang was born with a charming body. If she married Yunwen, Yunwen would probably die of exhaustion within three years.

Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened and stopped the matter!

"I am exhausted and dying?"

Lu Ye could hear Zhu Yunwen's anger even when he was in the Zuoweifang of the Eastern Palace. He was the young master of the demon sect and was proficient in the art of collecting and replenishing energy. Practicing the concave and convex magic skills with a woman of excellent quality like Zhuang Qingshuang was equivalent to practicing the magic skills hard every day. It was no problem for him to make rapid progress. How could there be such a side effect?
This is Hong Guoguo’s slander!
Lu Ye shook his head secretly. Zhu Yunwen was still too naive. Who was the Ghost King Xu Ruowu? He was the teacher of Prince of Yan Zhu Di and a total member of Prince of Yan's party.

The Xining Sect is connected to the eight major sects of the righteous path, and has close ties with the military. How could Xu Ruo Wuneng allow you to form an alliance with the Xining Sect?

This is playing dirty in broad daylight!
Zhu Yunwen, as the young master of the demon sect, was actually incapable of playing dirty tricks and was always played tricks by his enemies. No wonder he was defeated miserably in the end!
It's really like a piece of mud that can't be helped!
