For thousands of years, for emperors and generals, the sound of fighting may only mean that the winners are princes and the losers are bandits. Once the tripod is captured, not only the land in the four directions of the sea, but also the land between heaven and earth. All the people will surrender, and after that, it seems that the whole world will become the legendary paradise of kings, where all things flourish and the cycle is immortal.
However, such a statement ignores the grudges and sorrows under the king's way - the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes that make up these rivers and lakes are neither mountains nor water nor gods, but just mortals. As the saying goes, where there are people, It is the Jianghu, and the people who make up the Jianghu are the children of the Jianghu.
The children of Jianghu are divided into good and evil. Those who are good at thinking that the martial arts structure of each faction is harmonious and peaceful is the biggest purpose of this martial arts world, so they wholeheartedly maintain the orderly martial arts forest and do not allow anyone to interfere with this situation;
The evil ones, with their true and false personalities, make them disdainful of following the established rules of the world. In their view, there is no sin in acting for themselves in their own way. The grudges are clear, so why should they suffer from rigid moral contradictions.
In this way, how can the entire world avoid the bloodshed caused by disputes - even the emperor of heaven above or the king of men below can hardly prevent this vast land from falling into the entanglement of good and evil. During the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty was said to be unified, in fact, the vassals and towns were divided, which had become an unstoppable trend. Emperor Xianzong wanted to forcefully reduce the vassals by force, but he suffered from the interception of taxes by the vassals, which made the court financially strapped and unable to raise military pay, so he was depressed all day long. On this day, Emperor Xianzong accidentally discovered a posthumous edict left by Emperor Gaozu in an underground palace in the Daming Palace. The edict stated that when Gaozu came to Beijing to practice Zuo, in order to prevent any unforeseen events, he had already arranged in advance the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and southeast. There is a treasure buried in each of the four geomantic treasures. The location of these four treasures is not stated in the edict. Emperor Xianzong was overjoyed and wanted to immediately send troops to search everywhere. However, he immediately considered that this move would definitely attract the attention of various feudal towns due to the mobilization of troops, and the treasure was likely to be buried in the territories under the jurisdiction of certain feudal towns. Therefore, he intended to trap People all over the world, using their high martial arts skills, secretly helped the imperial court find treasures to help eliminate vassal towns and revive the Tang Dynasty. The first target to win over was the Sichuan Emei Sect.
The Emei Sect has lived in Shu for a long time. It was originally a small sect that was unknown in the world. However, during the An-Shi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong avoided Sichuan. The girls of the Emei Sect, with the kindness of women, worked to protect Sichuan. The emperor Xuanzong in trouble was not injured by the assassins sent by An Lushan, and his efforts to protect him were indispensable. Therefore, after the rebellion, the Emei sect was named the "No. 1 Sect in the Four Seas" by the Tang Dynasty after the rebellion, and thus became an imperially appointed Jianghu. First gang.
It is precisely because of this background that the Emei Sect became the best chess piece used by Emperor Xianzong to connect various factions for the court. The imperial court's favor, and the Tang court's plan to reduce the vassal vassal would also be conducive to maintaining the peaceful martial arts structure, so he responded to the imperial court's call and began to connect with various factions in the world that seemed trustworthy to jointly help the imperial court. However, the children of Jianghu are not people who respect the king. In addition, they are suspicious of the court's move, fearing that the court is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking, so they mostly turn a deaf ear to the Emei Sect's invitations and ignore them, so that after the invitation is circulated, only Two factions responded, the Huashan faction and Gusu Murong faction.
The Huashan Sect is located on the top of the Xiyue Mountains in Guanzhong. It has always dominated the Western martial arts world since ancient times. The proud members of the Huashan Sect never disdain to be with others, only dancing swords on high cliffs to admire themselves. It’s just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind never stops - during the Anshi Rebellion, after An Lushan captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he heard that the Huashan Sect near Chang'an was a great sect with a century-old reputation, so he sent people to invite everyone from the Huashan Sect to join him. However, An Lushan was sternly rejected by the aloof Huashan sect. An Lushan was so angry that he sent a large army to surround the mountain for several days, and even set fire to the mountain, vowing to destroy the Huashan sect. The Huashan sect suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, An Lushan was later killed by his son An Qingxu, and Huashan was able to relieve the siege. From then on, the Huashan faction began to realize that the rebellion in the feudal town was really a great harm to the world, and even the Jianghu would be implicated by it, unable to rest on its own. So, Huashan The faction began to recruit a large number of disciples in an attempt to retaliate against the rebels in Anshi and other vassal towns, and then restore peace to the various factions in the world. After the Tang Dynasty regained Chang'an, out of the Huashan faction's stance against the rebels in the vassal town, they provided pensions to Huashan and helped the Huashan faction resettle their real estate. Therefore, the Huashan faction became somewhat grateful to the court. So now that the imperial court is looking for treasures to cut down the vassal vassal, Yue Yingsong, the head of the Huashan Sect, has responded.
Gusu Murong was built by the Murong family who lived in the south of the Yangtze River several generations ago. This Murong family was originally from Xianbei, and its ancestor was Murong Chui, the founding emperor of Later Yan in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. I think back when the Yuan and Wei dynasties unified the north of the Yangtze River, the Murong family was destroyed and their family was destroyed. Only one of the remaining members traveled to the south of the Yangtze River to escape the disaster of annihilation. After settling in Shenhezhuang in the south of the Yangtze River, the Murong family gathered disciples with the ancestral Xianbei martial arts in the hope that they would be able to regain the Yan Kingdom in the future. By now, Murong Ke, the leader of Murong in Gusu, has gathered more than a thousand people. But things didn't go as planned. In today's world, with the Tang court in the center and vassal towns standing on all sides, the Murong family really had no chance to take advantage of it, so they just sighed to themselves.
Now, the imperial court suddenly asked the Emei sect to invite various sects in Jianghu to help hunt for treasures and cut down the vassal vassal. Murong Ke believed that this was a rare opportunity, because after one person found the treasure, the Murong family could steal it for himself privately. Once the imperial court goes to war with the vassal towns, the world may be in chaos, and the Murong family can fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to restore the country of Yan. Therefore, Murong Ke decided to respond to the imperial court and was always prepared to seek personal gain from the imperial court's actions. . There is no impenetrable wall in the world - the news of the court's treasure hunt eventually spread like wildfire. Naturally, the vassal towns guarding the four directions would not allow the court to use the treasure to strengthen their troops and then weaken the vassal. However, they learned the lessons of the Anshi Rebellion and did not dare to do so without authorization. They started to take action, so they also followed the imperial court's example and started with Jianghu gangs. They believe that using the so-called "evil factions" in the world to find treasures for them first, and at the same time severely damaging the so-called "decent factions" who respond to the imperial court in the process, is tantamount to cutting off the imperial court's financial resources and cutting off its wings. , so that the imperial court was unable to continue the move to reduce the vassal, and as a result, the special envoys sent by each vassal town began to extensively invite evil gangs and promised to help them suppress the orthodox sects. The evil sects with their own ulterior motives, after receiving instructions from each town, which sects will rise up and respond?
The first to respond to the various vassal towns was Shenlong Island in the South China Sea. This island is located offshore in the south. It was occupied by bandits decades ago. The leader of the bandits was a subordinate of Shi Siming, one of the leaders of the Anshi Rebellion. After the Tang Dynasty put down the rebellion, he took the young grandson of Shi Siming, Shi Wen, with him. Long and the rest of the rebel army fled here and took charge of the island and established a faction. Now that this general is dead, Shi Wenlong is in charge of the entire island. Hearing that the various vassals wanted to invite him to participate in the fight against the sect that was a wing of the imperial court, and to be the first to find the treasure, he thought this was a great opportunity to avenge his grandfather and the imperial court. , so they responded decisively to the vassal towns in various places.
The next person to respond was the Hubei Sun and Moon Sect. This sect first emerged in the Sui Dynasty and was closely related to the culture of the powerful ministers of the Sui Dynasty at that time. It trained eagle claws specifically for him, and later The world returned to the Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenhuaji also died unexpectedly, and his surviving family fled to the Sun Moon Sect. After that, the Yuwen clan gradually took control of the power in the sect. Up to now, Yuwen Pokong, a descendant of the Yuwen clan, has been the leader of the Sun Moon Sect for several years. More than enough. After receiving instructions from various vassal towns, Yu Wen Po Kong had an idea. He realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether it was to avenge his ancestors against the Tang Dynasty, or to use the treasure to help unify the world, in short, he could restore the former glory of the Yu Wen clan. In one fell swoop. Even so, the response is out of the question.
The last one to respond was the Kunlun Sect of the Western Domain Sect. The Kunlun Sect is located in the hometown of the Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions. The Han female slaves who lived in the Gaochang Kingdom suffered discrimination and persecution from the Gaochang people, so they gathered and established a sect, named the Kunlun Sect, to resist the Gaochang people. Several generations later, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Gaochang. The disciples of the Kunlun Sect thought that since the arrival of the Han court, they should get rid of their oppressed status. Unexpectedly, the Tang court thought that the Kunlun Sect was a vassal of Gaochang and could not be trusted easily, so they severely punished them. They increased surveillance and restricted the freedom of the women in the village. It was not until the Anshi Rebellion that the women of the Kunlun School got rid of the shackles of the court because the court was caught in a war and could not extricate themselves. From then on, the women of the Kunlun School, while thanking the rebel feudal town, vowed to Teach the Tang Dynasty a lesson and avenge the humiliation of the past. Now the leader of the Kunlun faction, Situ Huatian, received invitations from various vassal towns. He felt that this was an opportunity to avenge his shame, and that the treasure could be used to help the people of the village move back to the Central Plains and build new homes, so he decided to respond. You come from a famous family and have a lineage of martial arts in your family. You should have been famous in the world, but because the previous generations were not good at learning and did not carry it forward, the descendants of Dongxie, who was once famous, gradually became unknown. Growing up with the heavy responsibility of recovering your family, you have lived on the island since you were a child. The island is as beautiful as a fairyland, with peach blossoms in full bloom and like spring all year round, hence the name Peach Blossom Island. Although you were born and raised here, no matter how beautiful the scenery on the island is, it cannot stop you from wanting to explore the outside world, make friends, and use this to strengthen your own power and revive your sect's prestige.
Although Peach Blossom Island is isolated from the world, since the ancestor Huang Laoxie settled here, the sacred eagle he raised would go out to look for food from time to time, and would also bring some widely spread news to the people on the island. In order to prevent the people on the island from being unaware of world affairs and causing a major reversal in the situation in the world, everyone would not know about it and suffer unreasonable disasters. Recently, you heard that the island owner Huang Rongrong said that the sacred eagle had been out of the island for several days but had not returned. You felt anxious and went to the sacred eagle nest in the north of the island to inquire about the situation.
The journey was uneventful. After you arrived at your destination, you asked Lao Zhangtou, who was accompanying the divine eagle, about the whereabouts of the divine eagle. You learned that it had been out for three days and was heading towards Happy Forest for some unknown reason. Haven't returned yet. Hearing this, you become even more anxious because it is rumored that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Happy Forest, and you wonder if something unexpected will happen to Diao'er. In a sudden thought, you decided to take this opportunity to leave the place where you grew up and go see the outside world. Firstly, you want to make friends with people in the world and regain your family. Secondly, you want to find Diaoer, who has been with you for many years, and walk with him.
You have just left the place of your birth, and you are very curious about everything in the outside world. You are also quite uncomfortable with the environment that is completely different from Peach Blossom Island. The dangers of the world are only slightly reflected here.
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. You have met many heroes in the world and become friends with them. They also know your wish to regain the sect and have expressed their willingness to help you. One of them has the same interests as you. We got along well and had a great conversation. He is Lin Kuaihuo. You made an appointment to go to Youyuan Hall to sworn sworn vows. After the sworn vows were completed, a green forest man came out. After defeating him, he found a file dropped in the hall, which actually recorded the story of the divine eagle coming to Happy Forest. You are astonished at the daily whereabouts. Diaoer must have been kidnapped, otherwise how could there be this file?
According to the instructions in the file, you came to the Happy Forest Pet Shop. It turned out that Diaoer was shot and injured one day and then sold to the pet shop. You asked the pet shop owner Gong Xiaocui about the situation and learned that Because the eagle was difficult to tame, no one wanted to buy it, and it whined day and night, it was released. If you want to know the whereabouts of Diao'er, you need to pay a certain amount of money first. In desperation, you spent money to buy this news, knowing that Diao'er flew towards Xiaoyao Town. Gong Xiaocui also gives you a letter, asking you to deliver it to Chun Xiaoli, the owner of Xiaoyao Town Tavern.
After finding Chun Xiaoli and handing the letter to her, she asked Diao'er if she had been here, but she got the reply that Diao'er had not been seen at all. Now your heart is even more anxious. You also heard another bad news from Chun Xiaoli: Recently, the residents of Xiaoyao Town were infected with a strange disease. They can't touch the peach blossoms in the town. As long as they touch it a little, the two of them will He will die within a day. I heard that the medicine to cure this strange disease needs to be purchased at the small grocery store in Xiaoyao Town. After hearing this, you go immediately, firstly to seek medicine, and secondly to continue to inquire about Diao'er.
Xiaoyao Town has a prosperous scene, which is completely different from Happy Forest. The city under the bustling atmosphere is not peaceful, but rather chaotic, with no sense of order at all. The rich young master shows off everywhere, and servants bully others from time to time. When the road is rough, your approach of drawing a sword to help has made you have conflicts with many people.
He came to the small grocery store in Xiaoyao Town, bought the medicine to cure the strange disease from the shop owner Ye Meier, and gave the medicine to Chun Xiaoli. I got the news from her that King Xiaoyao is offering a huge reward for a peerless sword. You can raise the money to continue looking for the sculpture.
Find Xiaoyao King. He is asking for a sword that can cut iron as well as mud. He promises that the finder will be rewarded with a lot of money. You heard that weapons can be sold in the equipment store in Xiaoyao Town, so you go there. After talking to the boss Zhong Lichun, I learned that this sword is extremely sharp and can be forged from extraordinary materials. It needs to collect 3 refined irons first and then hand it over to the foundry in Xiaoyao Town before it can be made. After going through some hardships, you handed over the black iron to the gold forging, finally got this sword, and handed it back to King Xiaoyao. King Xiaoyao was overjoyed and told you a shocking secret, that is, the imperial court was recruiting sects to search for treasures. After hearing this, you made some calculations in your mind and decided to join this treasure-hunting army. After you told King Xiaoyao what you were thinking, he decided to help you. He told you that Nanyue Hengshan was full of outstanding people and that he had many friends there. He gave you a letter of introduction and asked you to find Tang Yingjie.
While you were grateful, you told him about the hardships of looking for the eagle. He told you that there were people coming and going at Xiaoyao Town Station. The fortune teller there knew a lot of information. You could ask Xiaoyao's groom to take you there. You go to Nanyue Hengshan. When you come to Xiaoyao Town Station, you find the divine fortune teller and go up to talk to him. The divine fortune teller says:
"There is a nest on the top of Nanyue Mountain. It is lonely and uninhabited all day long. If you want to find the eagle's return, you still need to go there." Search carefully."
You are overjoyed when you hear this. Although the fortune teller’s words are confusing, they also point out the direction. I happen to be going to Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, so I will ask Xiaoyao Mafu to take you there... After the news that Emperor Gaozu had left four treasures was leaked, the evil sects in the world immediately started to move, and Shenlong Island , Sun Moon Sect, and Kunlun Sect all sent people to search for traces of treasures everywhere. As one of them, you were sent to the Valley of the Wicked, a remote place in the southwest border. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, wars continued in the Central Plains, but it was very stable here. To avoid the war, there were treasures everywhere in the south. It's probably hidden near here.
When you first arrived in the Valley of the Wicked, you had no clue about treasure hunting. When you came to Cuiwei Pavilion at the end of a certain road, you saw a person sitting at the door of Cuiwei Pavilion. When talking to him, he calls himself Jiuyin Zhenren and is the special envoy sent here by the evil sect. He tells you that if you want to find the whereabouts of the treasure, it is useless to just go around here. You need to get out of here first and go to Miao territory to find it. Sun Fenghuang, the special envoy who was sent to meet you, is in the "Miao family's small house" in Wudu Mountain in Miao territory. Then, he hands you a letter to prove that you have met him.
After successfully walking out of the Valley of the Wicked, you came to the Five Poison Mountains in Miao territory. Finally, you found Sun Fenghuang in the "Miao family's small room" and gave her a letter. She told you that various evil sects have cooperated with The Qijue Palace on Diancang Mountain unite to search for treasures that may be located in the south. She also told you that the trial messenger sent by Qijue Palace is waiting for you. You can go find the trial messenger, and he may take you to Diancang Mountain.
So you go to find the trial envoy and tell him that Sun Fenghuang asked you to go with him to Dian Cang Mountain, but he refused to take you there on the grounds that he was busy and asked you to go by yourself.
After arriving at Diancang Mountain, you found the envoy from Qijue Palace who was here to meet you. He promised to take you to Qijue Palace.
Under the guidance of the envoy, you headed to the Qijue Palace and met He Shennong, the Lord of the Qijue Palace. She claimed that she was willing to cooperate with you and help you find the treasure. However, in your A traitor, Yan Xiaoqi, has appeared in the camp. He has stolen the treasure of the Qijue Palace, "Jintaro's Bag". It is not yet known where he is hiding. The most likely place is in Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. somewhere in the middle. He Shennong asked you to find Yan Xiaoqi, kill him, and get the treasure back. You agreed to her request. However, because this treasure is really powerful and you are still shallow, even if you grab the treasure, you will not be able to do anything. Bring it back, you now need to obtain a "Greed Amulet" to offset the magic power emitted by the treasure, and this Greed Amulet is with the Gu Master of Dian Cang Mountain, who is in the "ancient temple" of Dian Cang Mountain. He originally used this amulet to protect himself from poisonous insects. You can grab it and use it for yourself.
So, you went to look for the Gu Master. After finally finding it, you asked him for the Amulet of Greed, and he gave it to you.
After arriving at Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, I finally found Yan Xiaoqi, the traitor He Shennong said, and asked him for the treasure "Jintaro's Bag" from Qijue Palace, but he claimed that you were actually He Shennong's Shen Nong took advantage, he was not a traitor, and he stole the treasure to stop Qi Jue Palace's conspiracy. And this conspiracy is to pretend to be searching for treasures in the south with various evil sects. Once you find the location of the treasure, they Qijue Palace will use the mutual attraction between "Kintaro's bag" and gold and silver treasures to take away the treasure first. .
After you learned the truth, you were extremely angry and wanted to go back to Qijue Palace to settle the accounts with He Shennong. However, Yan Xiaoqi said that the "Greed Amulet" you brought actually played the role of monitoring you. , as long as it is on you, He Shennong can calculate your specific location through evil methods and monitor your whereabouts. Now if you want to go back to seek revenge on her, you must get rid of the amulet first, otherwise she will be on guard when you return. Therefore, you must hide the amulet somewhere in advance to ensure that you can return to Dian Cang Mountain in a hidden way. Therefore, you should give the amulet to him and let him carry your amulet with him when he patrols here. In this way, He Shennong will definitely I mistakenly think that you are always there and will not be prepared for your sudden return.
So you turned back and headed towards Qijue Palace in Diancang Mountain.
After you returned to Qijue Palace in Diancang Mountain, you couldn’t help but start a fight with He Shennong. After a hard fight, you finally knocked her down. Under your coercion, she told you that it turned out that She really wanted to pretend to join forces with various evil sects and use their power to monopolize the treasure in the south. She had discovered that the treasure was probably hidden near the Sun and Moon Sect on Jiugong Mountain, but the evil sects never expected that the treasure was in the same sect. The evil Sun Moon Sect is right under their noses, so they haven't discovered it yet. After hearing this, you got up and went to Jiugong Mountain, hoping to get some clues to the treasure there.
After arriving at Jiugong Mountain, I learned from the conversation with Jiudangshui, the owner of the hotel here, that the Sun Moon Sect has recently heard rumors that the treasure may be nearby, and is sending experts to search for the treasure somewhere nearby. There are traces of him, so you decide to go find this master to inquire.
In the middle of the journey, you find a strong man, talk to him, and you find out that he is Yiyang, a high-level person in the Sun and Moon Sect. He tells you that he is the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Yu Wen Po Kongzhi. Ming, also came here to explore the whereabouts of the treasure, but found no trace of the treasure around. It seems that this is not the location of the treasure, but the leader Yuwen said that the treasure is likely to be here. I don’t know why he said this, Duan Yiyang asks you to ask the leader Yuwen Pokong for details. He will continue to search here, so you turn to Yuwen Pokong.
After meeting Yu Wen Po Kong, he told you that the treasure was actually not nearby at all. The reason why he released this false news was to confuse people like He Shennong and Duan Yiyang who tried to embezzle the treasure. The real clues can only be discovered through discussions among the heads of the various factions. Yuwen Pokong asks you to take his sun and moon token and go to Shenlong Island immediately to find Shi Wenlong, the master of Shenlong Island. He will tell you more reasons.
So, you head to Shenlong Island...
