Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The martial arts conference was immediately held in Dadu.

Because Xiang Nan personally presided over the conference, and there was a sacred fire order as a reward, people from all walks of life gathered in the capital, ready to show off their skills.

Xiang Nan specially built six arenas in the east of the city and invited all the knights to perform on the stage.

"The purpose of my holding the martial arts conference is to promote exchanges in the martial arts world. Only through exchanges can we avoid being self-respecting, complacent, and working behind closed doors.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were three sword debates in Huashan in the Central Plains, and five peerless knights were selected. Today, I also followed the example of the sages and held a martial arts conference to select six peerless knights. I hope you will actively take the stage. The winners will each receive a Holy Fire Token.

This Holy Fire Token was the sacred object of the Ming Cult back then. It was made of platinum black iron and emery. It was extremely hard and could not be scratched or broken by any sharp sword.

More importantly, there is also a "Holy Fire Order Magic Skill" on it, which is the essence of ancient Persian martial arts. I have also practiced it, and it is really unpredictable and unpredictable. In my opinion, it is definitely a unique skill. "Xiang Nan said, "Okay, I won't be verbose. All knights, please come." "

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, everyone was naturally eager to give it a try.

They had also heard the story of the sword debate at Mount Huashan mentioned by their ancestors.

On the top of Huashan Mountain, compete in martial arts and compete for the first place in the world.

Such a grand event is really fascinating.

Now that I have the opportunity to show off my talents in front of the heroes, make a name for myself, bring glory to the sect, and win the "Holy Fire Order Divine Art", it is simply a great thing that kills three birds with one stone, so naturally many people are eager to try it.

…

Xiang Nan didn't stay long.

After all, with so many knights coming, it would take at least ten days and a half to fight a round.

Moreover, most of them are mediocre people with little ability at the beginning, and real masters will not appear on the stage from the beginning.

In that case, even Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't be able to survive the wheel battle.

Wait at least another week before the real masters will take the stage one after another.

Only then will Xiang Nan come to see it.

…

The holding of the martial arts conference attracted the attention of all sects, gangs, families, and even lone travelers across the country.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of knights who came to the capital was at least 30,000, which was much more lively than the imperial examination.

All the major inns in the capital were full, even the livestock sheds were full.

The arena was even more crowded with people. In addition to martial arts figures from various sects, there were also people from the capital and even all around to watch the fun.

There are two to three hundred thousand people in Wuyang Wuyang, which can be said to be very lively.

Therefore, around the ring, there are many more stalls selling large bowls of tea, beef noodles, pastry snacks, swords and weapons... much more lively than the Spring Festival temple fair.

It also created a lot of economic value, which made Xiang Nan consider whether he should imitate the Olympics and organize a martial arts competition every four years, which could be considered a contribution to the economy.

…

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, Xiang Nan changed his makeup and went to watch the competition in the ring.

I have to say that after not traveling in the world for more than ten years, there are indeed some new faces in the world, and their various martial arts skills are excellent.

But to be honest, the martial arts they displayed did not exceed Xiang Nan's knowledge. No matter the moves or internal strength, they were not surprising, which made Xiang Nan inevitably a little disappointed.

He originally wanted to use the martial arts competition to find some hidden masters and see some lost or newly created martial arts, so as to enrich his own martial arts.

But unfortunately, it backfired.

Half a month later, the martial arts conference finally decided on six peerless knights.

They are Master Yuankong from Shaolin Temple, Zhang Songxi from Wudang Sect, and Xu Shuyi from Emei Sect. The other three are lone travelers from unknown sects, the all-powerful Lei Jitian of Yunnan and Guizhou, the proud Wu Yuncheng of Huaisi, and the poisonous young master Lie Sanyang of the Western Regions.

Xiang Nan personally handed over the Holy Fire Order to the six people and said, "Congratulations to the six for winning! It turns out that among the strongest, there is a strong one. Every mountain is higher than the other. The performance of the six is ​​eye-opening to me."

I hope that the six of them can be like the Five Masters of Huashan Swordsman, Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, and Master Yideng. They care about the people and have the world in mind. Only in this way can they win a lasting reputation and be praised by everyone.

Otherwise, he will be like the Western Poison Ouyang Feng, cunning, cunning, and snake-hearted. Although it is called Wujue, it is due to the mismatch of virtue and ends in madness. "

When the six people heard this, they all nodded.

…

After the martial arts conference, as Xiang Nan expected, there were constant disputes in the world, all trying to compete for the six sacred fire tokens.

On the one hand, the Holy Fire Order represents the status of the world, and whoever can get it will prove that he is a peerless master; on the other hand, the Holy Fire Order also has a magical skill called the "Holy Fire Order Magic Skill".

More than a hundred years ago, the martial arts world was able to fight fiercely for the "Nine Yin Manual". More than a hundred years later, it is natural that they can also fight to the death for the "Holy Fire Order Divine Art".

What's more, there are remnants of the Ming Cult among them who are eager to collect the Qi Shenghuo Token, so naturally there will be a melee, with countless casualties.

In Shaolin alone, I don’t know how many times I have been broken into, and it was even worse than when I was framed by Yin Susu.

After all, at that time, the Shaolin Temple was only suspected of getting a piece of news, but now the Shaolin Temple really has a Holy Fire Order.

And this was already expected by Xiang Nan.

In his opinion, the more chaotic the world, the better.

After all, chivalry breaks the law with force. As a ruler, he does not want to have such a group of free and easy knights under his rule.

…

In the 18th year of Zhenwu, Master Jiejie passed away; in the 20th year of Zhenwu, Song Yuanqiao passed away; from the 21st to the 28th year of Zhenwu, Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daiyan, Yin Liting and others passed away one after another.

There are only a few people in the world that Xiang Nan is familiar with. Even Mo Shenggu, who was about the same age as him, now had gray hair on his temples.

During this period, under Xiang Nan's strict defense, Mingjiao only made small splashes occasionally, far from being as rampant as it was fifty years ago.

Moreover, in order to seize the Holy Fire Order, the Mingjiao made enemies with various sects. As long as there is news about Mingjiao in the world, those sects will take action faster than Xiang Nan's Jin Yiwei.

After all, the Jin Yiwei only wanted to perform meritorious service, while those sects wanted revenge.

attitude decides everything!

Under the double blow of the imperial court and Jianghu, the power of Mingjiao has never been able to develop, and is in a state of insignificant growth and half-death.

However, Xiang Nan knew that centipede insects were dead but not stiff.

At that time, the power of Mingjiao was enough to sweep the world.

Although it is not as good as before, there is still a long way to go to eradicate it.

What's more, Mingjiao's propositions are in line with public opinion to a certain extent. It is naturally not easy to completely eradicate them.

However, it is good that it is no longer active during his tenure.

…

In the forty-fifth year of Zhenwu, Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu passed away one after another.

Zhou Zhiruo is also getting old.

In fact, she has been practicing the "Nine Yin Manual" for these years.

However, the "Nine Yin Manual" can only improve her martial arts, but it cannot extend her life. She will still die in the end.

And in this year, Xiang Nan suddenly received a secret report that a maritime businessman suspected of discovering a peerless magic skill on a deserted island outside the East China Sea.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted many people from all walks of life.

The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was worried that something would happen and went to report it.

After Xiang Nan received the news, he was overjoyed and set off immediately.
