Chapter 254
It is a coincidence, come to think of it.
The reason Huang Huang Yaoshi knew about the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber was because of Guo Jing and Xiangyang City.
In these recent years,
the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom have been in constant conflict.
The Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom has been wanting to take Xiangyang City, and has even sent troops to attack the city several times.
Fortunately, Xiangyang City has been held by a group of righteous martial artists led by Guo Jing, which has barely managed to keep the Jin soldiers from invading.
However,
although the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom is not a dynasty, both its imperial military strength and its martial arts factions are not the least bit weaker than an average dynasty.
Seeing that martial arts factions were intervening in Xiangyang City, the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom could not tolerate it; they likewise gathered many martial artists within the kingdom, preparing to use the same method to contain the martial artists in Xiangyang City.
Actually,
if it were just like this,
Xiangyang City, as an important city of the Great Song Dynasty, would not really need to worry too much about the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom.
Yet, what makes people feel helpless is,
the current Great Song imperial court is dominated by treacherous officials, and on top of that, the Great Song Dynasty has always valued civil officials over military ones, so there are mostly civil officials in the court; even if there are a few military generals, most of them have no real power.
This has led to a situation where, despite being a dynasty, it is being pressured by a kingdom to the point of suffocation, and it even has to rely on martial arts factions to barely hold onto Luoyang City.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
After all, if the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom were to get ruthless and deploy more troops, then even with martial arts factions like Guo Jing's, it would likely not have much effect.
But now,
since they cannot rely on the imperial court, but also do not want to lose Xiangyang City, they have no choice but to find a way to save themselves.
And in fact,
this group of people did indeed think of a way.
This method is: since they cannot compete with the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom in military strength, why not think of some ways regarding military strategy?
Following that,
a group of martial artists began discussing military strategy.
It is just that,
letting these people duel with the martial artists of the Mongol Mongol Yuan Kingdom, they are all experts who can take on several opponents at once, but when it comes to studying military strategy, they are complete laymen.
However,
as martial artists who have walked the world for many years, although one cannot say they are all walking encyclopedias, they certainly have no shortage of strange and curious knowledge.
And one of them had heard of the Wu Mu Testament!
This book of military strategy was written by the famous anti-Jin general, General Yao Yue, from earlier years!
Thus,
this group of people began to inquire everywhere about the whereabouts of the Wu Mu Testament.
And Huang Huang Yaoshi, naturally, was the same.
Relying on his Half-Step Divine Travel strength and numerous martial arts friends, he eventually learned that the Wu Mu Testament was very likely to have drifted into the Great Ming Dynasty.
But who exactly obtained it, he did not know.
However,
Huang Huang Yaoshi was not without any gains.
Later, after inquiring in many places, he judged that it was very likely hidden by someone.
As for why someone would want to hide it, Huang Huang Yaoshi was not clear, but he subconsciously associated it with a slogan that has long circulated in the Great Ming martial arts world.
Supreme in the Wu Lin, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, commands the world, none dare disobey! If the Heaven-Reliant Sword does not appear, who can contend with it!
It is just a weapon,
even if it is powerful, it is impossible to command the world.
Just like martial arts factions, no matter how powerful, they can never contend with the imperial court, unless this martial arts faction has an expert above the Divine Travel Profound Realm, but such an expert is already considered to have transcended the category of a martial artist.
Of course,
Huang Huang Yaoshi was only guessing that the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword might be related to the Wu Mu Testament; after all, he had never seen these two weapons.
Yet at this moment,
the famous Heaven-Reliant Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber of the Great Ming martial arts world actually appeared in Snow Moon City?
And they are just displayed so openly on this crowded square; is Snow Moon City not afraid that someone might steal them? Or is it that these two weapons are just replicas?
With a feeling of doubt,
Huang Huang Yaoshi wanted to get closer to observe these two weapons carefully.
It is just that...
"What are you pushing for? If you want to challenge the Ascension Pavilion, go to the back and line up!"
A big man who was waiting in line was accidentally pushed out of the line by Huang Huang Yaoshi,
and he immediately turned his head to look at Huang Huang Yaoshi, glaring angrily: "Damn it, you look all refined and polite, yet you don't know any rules at all. I've been lining up since last night, and you, you just come over and want to cut in line? What are you thinking?"
0 ..... 0
Huang Huang Yaoshi: "???"
He looked at the big man in front of him, whose cultivation was only at the Ninth Grade of Martial Arts, with a blank expression, not quite understanding what had happened.
It was just accidentally bumping into the other person; was there a need to be so angry?
Could it be that people in the Beili martial arts world are all this hot-tempered?
And... what cutting in line? Cutting what line?
However,
before Huang Huang Yaoshi could speak,
he heard a large group of people behind him shouting.
"Damn it, get to the back of the line. Don't think that just because you have some strength you can cut in line as you please!"
"Exactly, I worked so hard to line up, why should I let you cut in line?"
"Damn it, if you don't line up properly, I'm going to call the Snow Moon City disciples over. I don't know where this idiot came from, daring to break the rules of Snow Moon City."
"..."
Listening to the words of this group of people,
even with Huang Huang Yaoshi's temper, he felt a bit heated at this moment.
How long has it been?
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since anyone dared to speak to him like this.
The key is,
scold if you must, but you have to let me know the reason, right?!
...Chuan.
