A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Chapter 56 Shengping Heavenly Kingdom, Immortal Demon Queen (two in one)

Naturally, Lu Yuan had never heard of the name Lin Xingchao.

He also noticed that Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu also had confused expressions, and they obviously didn't know who they were.

After Li Jun heard the reported accident, his eyes changed for a while, and he still said in a low voice:
  "Go and bring him in."

The gang members who reported the news responded and left immediately. Xu Dahu couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Master, who is Lin Xingchao?"

Li Junxian seemed to recall memories from long ago because of this name, and said in a low voice:
  "Lin Xingchao is your uncle. Like me, he was once a disciple of the Divine Fist Sect."

Uncle?

Lu Yuan and the other three couldn't help but look at each other.

Li Jun first thought about himself and said:
  "My master and your uncle's parents died when they were young, and we were begging for food on the streets. Fortunately, our mentor took him as his disciple. We practiced martial arts hard for many years, and we were not able to become masters until we were twenty-eight years old."

"It was the time of the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. The Shengping Army led by the Founding Saint King and the Eight Heavenly Kings swept through the southern provinces and occupied almost half of the country. Your uncle and I were young and energetic, and we were already disgusted with the corrupt Jin court, so we decided to Together we joined the Shengping Army with the intention of showing off our might and restoring our Han family."

Holy Ping Heavenly Kingdom! ?
  Master has indeed rebelled!
  Lu Yuan was slightly shocked when he heard this, and when he recalled what he had said before, he suddenly felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

The name of the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom is known to everyone.

In the past hundred years, the people have been overwhelmed by the corrupt Jin Ting's high-pressure rule and all kinds of exploitation and oppression, and uprisings of various sizes have continued in various places.

Especially after the first invasion by the Shinra powers, and after the Jin Dynasty was defeated and forced to sign a series of unequal treaties, the imperial court made clever excuses to pay war indemnities, set up various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and stepped up its search for people's wealth;

At the same time, corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry also took the opportunity to suck out the bones and marrow. The people who could not bear the natural disasters and man-made disasters revolted in various places.

Among them, the most powerful one was the Shengping Army from more than thirty years ago.

The Shengping Army originated from Guang Province in the Thirty-Six Provinces. Due to the defeat of Jinting in the First Shinra War, the Shinra powers gained the right to preach in the coastal area and began to build a large number of churches to spread the Catholic religion.

In a certain county in Guangzhou Province, a failed martial arts student named Chen Kequan accidentally came into contact with this religion and was greatly affected. He then began to use it to attract believers and develop and expand its power. Later, he even absorbed the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church and created his own sect of saintliness, equality, and The Shengping Sect of Great Harmony under Heaven.

At that time, the people were in dire straits, miserable, and in urgent need of psychological comfort. With the spread of this doctrine, the number of believers grew rapidly, and in just one year there were 20,000 to 30,000 believers.

Although the local officials were mediocre and incompetent, they still realized that something was wrong, and then mobilized a golden army to suppress and exterminate the newly emerging Shengping Sect.

As a result, this Jin army was severely defeated by the Shengping sect believers who responded and organized in advance. The leader Chen Kequan even led this motley army to capture the entire county!

After occupying a county, Chen Kequan killed corrupt officials and powerful landlords, then equalized the land and wealth, and formally established the Shengping Army.

Because the Jin Dynasty promoted shaving their hair and making it easier to dress, the Shengping Army did not shave or braid their hair, and their hair was disheveled, so they were called "long-haired".

Because of the long-standing grievances, Chen Kequan led the uprising and the fire spread out of control. Countless oppressed people joined the Shengping Army, and even many martial arts people joined. The power of the Shengping Sect expanded rapidly, sweeping the south like a raging fire. Provinces, thirteen provinces were conquered in just five years.

Most of these thirteen provinces are wealthy provinces in the south, including Jiangning Province, which ranks among the top three in tax revenue. The power of the Shengping Army reached its peak. Chen Kequan founded the country in Tianyun Mansion, the provincial capital of Jiangning Province, with the name Shengping. The Kingdom of Heaven, and he proclaimed himself the Founding King of Pingjin, and his eight generals who were good at conquering and fighting were named the Eight Heavenly Kings.

After the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom was established, it began to confront Jin Ting with the territory of thirteen provinces. Because the righteousness that dominated people's hearts most of the time prevailed, all Han people in the world were inspired by it, and countless people secretly came to vote for it.

However, great things are coming.

Within a few years, the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom gradually began to experience turmoil and even internal strife due to the struggle for power. At the same time, many middle- and upper-level generals began to settle for pleasure, and even took bribes and perverted the law, and gradually became as corrupt as the officials of the Jin Dynasty.

Under the internal corruption, the development momentum of the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom was thus halted. After all, the Jin Dynasty had a deep foundation and began a step-by-step counterattack after taking a breather.

At the same time, because they learned that Catholic doctrine had been tampered with and used by the Holy Ping Heavenly Kingdom, the Western Holy Roman powers, which had great influence in the Holy See, were also very angry. They began to intervene in the sale of obsolete firearms and equipment to the Jinting, and ordered the complete annihilation of the Holy Ping Heavenly Kingdom. heresy.

After all, Jin Ting had hundreds of years of experience and acquired a lot of firearms and equipment from Shinra. The combat power of the army increased significantly, and the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom, which originally had the upper hand in terms of popular support and strength, began to retreat.

In the end, after several years of arduous fighting, the Shengping Army suffered numerous casualties. The eight heavenly kings who led it were either defeated or captured. All the territory they had conquered was lost. Even the capital Tianyun Mansion was besieged by tens of thousands of Jin troops. Break through!

On the day the city was breached, Chen Kequan, the founding saint king, fought to the death in his palace and killed 328 Jin soldiers with supreme bravery. Dozens of Jin Ting martial arts masters also died in the fire of dozens of artillery pieces. Under the bombardment.

At this point, the mighty Shengping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising was suppressed again by Jin Ting, more than 20 years ago.

Lu Yuan didn't expect that his master would have such an experience. No wonder he kept it secret and didn't tell him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:
  "So Master, you were injured at that time?"

"good."

Li Jun first said softly:

"When the Jin army broke through Tianyun Mansion with the intention of capturing the Holy King alive, your uncle and I were the defending commanders of the Sheng Ping Army. That battle was bloody and cruel. In addition to thousands of troops, Jin Ting also sent sticky sticks Most of the martial arts and even Taoist masters in the shamanistic state religion.

We only lasted less than two hours before the city gate was breached. Our teacher was seriously injured in that bloody battle and barely escaped with his life. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because my status as a teacher is too sensitive."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and at the same time there was a cry:
  "Uncle Li, I brought the guests in!"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw a tall and tall middle-aged man in civilian clothes appearing at the entrance of the courtyard with a pair of young men and women of good temperament.

When the middle-aged man saw Li Junxian, his eyes were excited and he quickly stepped forward:

"Brother!"

Looking at the other party, Li Jun felt uneasy at first. He waved away the gang who led the way and then said slowly:
  "Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing in Jinjin?"

"Junior brother, everything is fine with me."

The two parties had not seen each other for many years. Lin Xingchao stepped forward and held Li Junxian's hand, and said excitedly and with emotion:

"The last time we saw each other was eight years ago. Is my senior brother still fine? Does he still cough every time it rains?"

"Fortunately, it's just the same old habit."

Li Jun first calmly looked at the two slightly restrained men and women behind him:

"Those two young men are your disciples?"

"Not bad." Lin Xingchao turned around and said:
  "Why don't you come and see you, Uncle Li!"

The two young men and women, the man with magnificent appearance, the woman with beautiful appearance, and her gestures obviously possess good martial arts skills, came to Li Junxian and saluted respectfully:
  "Junior Xi Beichen (Gu Yourong) pays homage to my uncle!"

"Okay, okay, Xingchao, you have harvested two good seedlings!"

Li Jun first looked at it and nodded, and then signaled to Lu Yuan and the other three:
  "These are my three apprentices, Xu Dahu, Xu Erhu, and Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan and even Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu also immediately stepped forward to salute:

"I have seen Uncle Master."

"Good good."

Lin Xingchao first smiled and nodded, then his eyes were immediately attracted by Lu Yuan's unique temperament, and he said in surprise:

"Senior brother, are you a disciple?"

After completing a hundred days of foundation building, Lu Yuan was completely transformed. After cultivating his true energy, his temperament developed towards an otherworldly one. Anyone with some knowledge can see it at a glance.

"Junior brother has good taste. This boy is a natural martial arts material. He is much better than you and me when we were young."

Li Jun smiled first, but didn't say much:
  "Why did you bring your apprentice out this time?"

Lin Xingchao said: "I have been in Jinjin for a long time. I want to take them out to see them. I also come to Fengyang Mansion to do something. I may need to trouble you, senior brother."

Li Jun shook his head first and sighed: "I knew you were far away in Jinjin and you didn't come here suddenly just to visit me. Come in and talk."

With that said, he invited Lin Xingchao and his two disciples into his room, and at the same time looked at Lu Yuan and the other three disciples:
  "You three go out and do your own business first, and don't worry about Master."

This uncle's visit obviously had an ulterior motive. Seeing that Li Junxian didn't seem to want to involve himself and others too deeply, Lu Yuan and the other three suddenly looked at each other.

Xu Dahu also wanted to stay in the name of serving tea and water, but he was still kicked out by the other party.

The three of them had no choice but to walk outside the courtyard and look at the small room inside. You looked at me and I looked at you, full of curiosity.

Xu Dahu lowered his voice and said hesitantly and excitedly: "This uncle suddenly came to visit. Isn't he here to drag the master into rebellion? If so, let's..."

Xu Erhu shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Master has long since given up all his thoughts after recovering from his injury. He just wants to say goodbye to the disputes and live his life peacefully. He asked us to come out just because he doesn't want us to be involved."

Lu Yuan wondered: "Isn't the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom destroyed? This uncle is still rebelling now?"

Xu Erhu frowned and said:

"This is the first time we have met this uncle, so I don't know what he is doing. However, I heard my master mention that although the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the founding saint kings and even the eight heavenly kings still have descendants and even successors who survive, and I'm still trying to find ways to re-establish the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom, so this uncle may not be able to do it well."

"hiss"

Xu Dahu took a breath:
  "If Jin Ting discovers this, wouldn't he have to kill the nine tribes and execute him in Lingchi?"

The two of them discussed each other in very low voices, looking at each other word by word. However, Lu Yuan couldn't restrain his curiosity and immediately said:
  "Two senior brothers, junior brother, I forgot something urgent and I need to go out first!"

After saying that, he left like a gust of wind, leaving only Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu with a look of astonishment.

And after leaving the backyard through the back door.

There was no one around in the alleyway. Lu Yuan instantly made a seal with his hands, and his true energy inspired the earth movement technique, and the whole person instantly fell into the ground.

Wrapped in the power of the spell, he seemed to be walking on flat ground in the soil. As soon as he took a step forward, the soil moved out of the way like a stream of water, causing no resistance at all.

Walking underground, he easily returned to the backyard following the sound, and came under Mr. Li Jun's house. After a moment of concentration, he heard a sentence:

".Want to find Qingyi Guest?"

This sentence came from Li Junxian's mouth, and his tone was full of surprise:
  "What are you doing with him?"

Ok?
  He never expected that the conversation between the two parties would be related to his vest. Lu Yuan, who was underground, suddenly focused his eyes and listened carefully.

Then I heard Lin Xingchao's voice:
  "I heard someone in Jinjin say that this guest in green clothes has the ability to appear and disappear without a shadow, cut his throat in the void, appear words out of thin air, and perform all kinds of things like miracles. He may be a Taoist in the fifth realm or even the sixth realm. A master of magic?"

"good."

Li Jun answered first:

"You and I have fought against the wizards of the Jinting Shaman Cult. We should know that such performances are extremely difficult even for the Taoists of the Five Realms. So in my opinion, this guest in green is most likely a master of the Sixth Realm. Kung Fu Master. Could it be that you came to him because you want such masters to join you?"

Lin Xingchao said:

"Yes. I have already made inquiries in this city. This man in green hates evil and specializes in killing corrupt officials, bullies and powerful men. He is a first-class knight. But the darkness and corruption in this world cannot be changed by killing some evil people. , I have been planning an extremely important event recently, so I would like to invite this guest in Qingyi to join us in working together for a righteous cause!"

Li Junxian's tone changed obviously: "It's a big event, let's work together for a righteous cause. You want to go to Tianjing to assassinate the Immortal Demon Queen!?"

Lu Yuan was slightly shocked when he heard the words Immortal Demon Queen.

The Immortal Demon Queen was also a well-known existence in the Jin Dynasty.

In today's Jinting, Emperor Xuantong, who has been on the throne for ten years, is just a puppet. The real person in charge of Jinting is the current Empress Dowager: Xi Ci.

That's right, not the Queen Mother, not the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager, the emperor's great-grandmother.

The reason why there is so many generations is that the Empress Dowager Xici has been in charge of politics for seventy years, and according to historical records, her age has exceeded two decades, reaching over one hundred and twenty years old.

It has been 500 years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, and the number of elderly people who have lived to be over 120 years old during these years is a living legend, and can only be counted in the palm of a hand.

And the Empress Dowager Xici not only lived for such a long time, but it is even said that she is still deaf and deaf, and even moves vigorously, and can eat hundreds of delicacies from the mountains and seas at every meal!
  With all these supernatural powers, the Empress Dowager Xici cannot be an ordinary person without the power to bind a chicken. There are rumors among the people that the Empress Dowager obtained the shaman spirit because she believed in the shaman religion, the national religion of the Jin people. As long as he protects and protects him, the national destiny of Jinting will not be cut off.

This is the origin of the name Immortal Demon Queen.
