Chapter 669 One Year
Time passed slowly, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
A year is enough for many things to happen and change certain situations.
For example, the situation in the martial arts world outside the Great Wall was completely firmly controlled by the Taoist lineage, without a doubt.
The reason was that more than half a year ago, Zuo Youxian, the head of the Taoist lineage, suddenly became a martial arts master, and challenged the martial arts master Bi Xuan outside the Great Wall and won slightly, becoming the number one master in the martial arts world outside the Great Wall.
With the title of the number one master in the martial arts world outside the Great Wall, many changes came naturally afterwards.
For example, more and more tribes outside the Great Wall accepted disciples from the Taoist lineage!
Then, the Taoist lineage introduced a relatively rough wool textile technology, which began to rapidly change the living conditions of the grassland tribes outside the Great Wall.
Those who understand it all understand that they can make profits by trading wool, and the grassroots herders can benefit from it. The grazing goals of the grassland herders outside the Great Wall began to change quietly.
The number of horses and cattle raised decreased rapidly, and the number of sheep raised directly increased. This is driven by interests!
Even the high-ranking officials of the grassland tribes outside the Great Wall were immersed in such a simple way of making profits. They not only did not stop it, but also vigorously promoted it. Who would not be happy to see their lives getting more and more prosperous?
Even if there were shrewd people who saw the problem, they did not have the courage to stop such a mighty trend!
The main reason was that the aura of Wu Zun Bi Xuan, the spiritual totem of the grassland outside the Great Wall, quickly faded.
After Zuo Youxian, the master of the Taoist lineage, broke through the realm of martial arts master, the demon commander Zhao Deyan also successfully broke through the realm of martial arts master, and started a very fierce competition with Wu Zun Bi Xuan.
One of them is the god of Turkic martial arts, and the other is the Turkic national teacher!
Before, Wu Zun Bi Xuan was stronger, so naturally, the demon commander Zhao Deyan did not have much say.
But now that Zhao Deyan has also successfully broken through, he naturally has to compete for the right to speak in the Turkic tribe.
Unfortunately, after Zhao Deyan broke through the master level, his strength was still slightly worse than Bi Xuan, and the dispute over the right to speak between them was still going on.
With the addition of Qu Ao, the Tiele Flying Eagle, whose strength has also improved by leaps and bounds and is only half a point away from the Grandmaster level, Bi Xuan's recent days have been quite busy.
As mentioned earlier, Qu Ao is a very talented martial arts genius!
The reason why he did not advance to the Grandmaster level early was mainly because he was hit by the Martial Master Bi Xuan, which greatly shocked his mind.
The hunting operation a year ago healed most of his mental trauma!
Although he did not get much benefit from the Desert Temple, he has stepped half a foot into the Grandmaster level.
This guy is also ruthless. Once his state returns to normal, he will naturally have a good fight with the instigator Bi Xuan. Even if he can't beat him, it's not difficult to run away.
Bi Xuan is very busy at this time, how can he have the energy to care about the commotion made by the Taoist True Transmission?
Besides, he doesn't have the courage to fight with the Taoist True Transmission strongman!
Although Jia Huan did not show up directly, his strength has long been verified by Bi Xuan himself.
It's just not good to show it directly, otherwise the foreign high-level officials in the grasslands outside the Great Wall will sleep uneasy.
Bi Xuan could see the changes in the grassland tribes outside the Great Wall, nor could he analyze the consequences. Unfortunately, he simply did not have much energy to care about it.
When the primary wool textile technology began to take effect and quickly formed a huge and stable chain of interests, no matter who wanted to destroy it, they would face a very fierce backlash.
Even Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would have to lose a layer of skin if he wanted to touch such a chain of interests!
With the Great Sui Empire as its backer, the Taoist lineage, facing the grassland tribes outside the Great Wall, naturally had a greater advantage, at least for now.
With the Taoist lineage as the leader, the border troops and the powerful forces in the border areas all participated.
Without contacting the Guanlong military aristocratic group, they directly connected with the Yang royal family.
Or through the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, they communicated directly with Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and clarified the relationship of interests.
At this time, the Taoist lineage was no longer the same as before.
When the news that Zuo Youxian had achieved the master of martial arts came out, the Central Plains martial arts world was in an uproar.
The one who was most affected was naturally the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Holy Sect.
She ran to the border to check the situation as soon as possible, and the result naturally did not disappoint her. Zuo Youxian, the leader of the Taoist True Transmission, really achieved the realm of martial arts master!
Then, Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan was worried whether Zuo Youxian would compete for the position of the leader of the Holy Sect?
The result was quite good. Zuo Youxian made it clear that at least in the short term, he had little interest in returning to the Central Plains.
The reason was quite sufficient!
In fact, the Taoist True Transmission did not have much momentum and influence in the Central Plains.
The previous headquarters Taibai Temple was still hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains. There were only two formal disciples, him and his junior brother Jia Huan, who were not much stronger than the scattered Ning Daoqi.
The key point is that the Central Plains Jianghu has basically been divided up.
If the Taoist True Transmission wants to join in forcefully, there will naturally be all kinds of fierce conflicts of interest and bloody disputes.
They are not afraid of these, the key is that the foundation of the Daozu True Transmission is too weak!
Once it expands in the Central Plains, who knows what kind of people will join?
Besides, whether it is the Great Sui Dynasty, the local family, or the Buddhist and Taoist sects, it is impossible for them to watch the Daozu True Transmission develop wildly.
Don't think that except for Ning Daoqi, there are no other martial arts masters in the Central Plains, and there is no way to deal with Zuo Youxian, the new martial arts master.
Do you really think that the profound heritage of those aristocratic families is just for show?
Just the evil king Shi Zhixuan, plus a heavenly sword Song Que, the real combat power is not much worse than that of ordinary martial arts masters.
Not to mention, if they can't fight alone, can't they fight in groups?
Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or the Holy Sect, which one doesn't have a large number of top masters?
Rather than being trapped in the quagmire of the Central Plains, it is better to be domineering in the border areas.
Here, the Taoist lineage is the absolute leader!
Now that they have mastered the source of income such as wool textile technology, their lives are really too comfortable.
If we really talk about resources, the vast grasslands outside the Great Wall, the continuous Tianshan Mountains, and the Western Regions whose influence is spreading more and more widely are not much worse than the Central Plains!
In fact, in terms of some precious resources, the land outside the Great Wall has a great advantage!
After all, the Central Plains is a region where the imperial power is deeply rooted. Even a martial arts master cannot cover the sky with one hand.
But in the borderland, the Taoist lineage can really be so domineering.
In addition, what he did not tell Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan was that his junior brother Jia Huan also told him something that made him unable to calm down for a long time.
The culture of the foreign land is very different from that of the Central Plains, and it has also developed a considerable degree of civilization!
The source of the Central Plains martial arts is the "Book of Changes", and the foreign martial arts also have their own sources and peculiarities.
If you can see more martial arts of other civilizations, you may be able to go further in martial arts, just like the desert temple you have seen before!
