Now that the goal has been achieved, Nangong Qi and the others lingered in the house for a while, talking a few words about what they had seen and heard about coming to "Wanyi Island" and speculation about tomorrow's trading conference, before they got up and left.

After everyone left, Chu Yi walked in from the outside and said, "Is there any point in making a joint agreement with these weak sects? ”

Hua Bushi glanced at Chu Yiyi, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip leisurely, and said, "Are they weak, I don't think so." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Oh?"

Hua Bushi said: "If you want to compare the reputation of the rivers and lakes or the industrial assets of the sect, they are indeed far from those famous factions, but the 'Taihu Gang' is good at water warfare, and the 'Thunderbolt Hall' is good at gunpowder and hidden weapons. ”

Chu Yiyi frowned and said, "Having said that, does Gongzi think that on this island, there will be a fight with people?"

Hua Bushi said: "I don't know, I just think that this 'Wanyi Island' is really a little unusual, and this 'Wanyi Conference' is not as simple as it seems, no matter what, we should be cautious." ”

He put the teacup on the table and said, "Hey, I hope it's just that I'm too preoccupied!"

Perhaps Hua Bushi was really worried, and the afternoon was quite peaceful, and he sat in the house drinking tea, and nothing happened.

It wasn't until the evening that Song Sichen came, and he came to deliver the message.

Lu Qiuhong, the owner of "Wanyi Island", set up a big banquet in the "Tingtao Pavilion" and invited all the distinguished guests who came to the "Wanyi Conference" to participate together!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Tingtao Pavilion" is a huge pavilion built on a bluestone platform, located in the northeast corner of "Wanyi Manor".

Almost all the houses in the manor are made of bluestone, perhaps because of the sea breeze, they are not built high. However, this Tingtao Pavilion is an exception.

This pavilion is made of bricks and wood, the pavilion is eight zhang high, the shape is octagonal shape, the hook eaves fly and hang, the carved beams and draw the columns, not only is very tall and majestic, and the appearance of the building does not lose the delicate and beautiful. The pavilion is also quite spacious, the decoration is more luxurious, only dozens of glass lamps on the wall, it has given people a beautiful feeling, making people feel as if they have entered the royal palace.

Looking out of the window at the pavilion, you can see the shore in the distance, and although it is miles away, the waves are still clear, and the faint sound of the waves echoes in your ears.

The name of "Tingtao Pavilion" is indeed very appropriate!

At the time of the lantern, there were disciples of "Wanyi Gate" to guide the way, Hua Bushi held Hai Hongzhu's hand, and walked into Tingtao Pavilion with the people of "Evil Dog Gate". Dozens of tables of banquets have been set up in the pavilion, and many people have already sat in the banquet.

As soon as he entered the door, Hua Bushi saw that not far from the door, in the southwest corner of the hall in the pavilion, Nangong Qi was waving to him, so he walked straight over.

"Young Master Hua, please come and sit here!" Nangong Qi beckoned, "Several of our sects are all seated around here, so we can take care of each other." ”

Hua Bushi took a look in a blink of an eye, and sure enough, he saw Elder Huang of the "Yandang Faction", the man surnamed Hong of the "Taihu Gang" and others, all of whom were sitting at the same table as Nangong Qi, and the surrounding tables were obviously disciples of these sects.

He didn't shirk, arched his hand towards everyone, and sat down at the table with Hai Hongzhu, while Chu Yiyi sat on the seat on the other side of the eldest young master.

Peng San, Zhu Hong, Meng Huan, Bai Yiling and other people from the "Evil Dog Gate" sat down at a table next to them.

At this time, there were already more than 200 people in Tingtao Pavilion, and it was obvious that most of the masters of various factions who came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" had arrived.

Hua Bushi raised his eyes and looked around the hall, and secretly thought in his heart: "Wanyi Gate" sent out invitations, all of them are the best of the various sects and factions of the Central Plains martial arts, it can be said that the hundreds of people in this high pavilion represent the most powerful shili on the white road in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the people who came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" may not be the heads of various sects, these people can come on behalf of the sects, and they must be enough to take charge of themselves. can bring together so many elites of various factions in one place, in recent decades, I am afraid that only "Wanyimen" can do it.

In addition to the south gate in the attic hall, the east, west, and north sides are lined with wine tables and banquets, leaving only an open space in the center. The organizer does not have a designated seat, and guests are free to sit as they please. And the division of the alliance factions of these sects can be seen at a glance just from the position where the people of each sect are seated in this pavilion.

Prior to this, Chu Yiyi had informed Hua Bushi of the detailed information of the people who came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" from various sects, and although many people in the pavilion had not seen Hua Bushi, they could guess their identities from their appearances.

In a banquet at the east head of the Tingtao Pavilion, there is a big monk sitting in front of a table in the center, this ** is about forty years, looks kind and kind-eyed, wears a purple robe, sits there and is stable, he is the "Shaolin faction" The main thing of this trip, one of the eight Shaolin halls, "Dushan Hall", the host of the Yuanguang master.

On the side of Master Yuanguang, there was another old monk wearing a white cloth robe, although his beard was gray and he was a little older, but his face was like an autumn moon, and he was described as elegant and elegant, and he must have been a rare beautiful man when he was young. He is the Lingyin Zen master of the "Putuo School", and it was this monk that Hua Bushi wanted to ask Master Huang Lian, the owner of the "Jingci Lin Nunnery", to lead the way.

Looking at the appearance of this Lingyin Zen Master, it is quite right with the green silk and extraordinary Yellow Lotus Master.

In addition to the two senior monks on this table, there is also a layman, but he is a middle-aged man in a green robe, with a wide face and a square mouth, a plain appearance, and a three-foot long sword at his waist.

Although this person looks ordinary on the outside, he can sit at the same table with the two high-ranking monks of "Shaolin" and "Putuo", and his identity is certainly not ordinary. Hua Bushi knew that this person's surname was Yu Mingjun, and he was one of the twenty-eight elders of the "Huashan faction", and he was Yang Jiangyi's uncle in terms of seniority.

The three of them sat at the table, and the other seats at the table were empty, but at the next few tables, there were still many people sitting in different sects.

As soon as we look at this situation, we can see that the three factions of "Shaolin", "Putuo" and "Huashan" have decided to join forces, and the surrounding sects have probably joined their alliance.

At the west head of Tingtao Pavilion, far away from Master Yuanguang's table, there is also a table, and in front of the table it seems to be a coincidence, and there are also three people sitting.

In the center is a Taoist priest, who is no more than thirty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and no beard on his face. He wears a purple gold crown on his head, and the Taoist robe on his body is made of fine Zhejiang-Hangzhou brocade, which is not only fitted, but also very elegant. His outfit really doesn't look like a monk or a monk, but more like a wealthy man in the world.

This Taoist priest is the real person in charge of the "Wudang Mountain Qingyan Palace", and Hua Bushi also knows that this person is not as young as he seems. According to Chu Yiyi's words, "Qingyan Palace" is one of the nine palaces of the "Wudang School", this treasure realm has a high status in the door, has been famous for 20 years, and is at least nearly fifty years old now.

He was so young on the outside, probably because he was practicing superior internal strength.

Sitting on the left side of the real person in the treasure realm is a beautiful son, who is Cao Duyun himself. As Nangong Qi had expected, with the status of the "Duyun Prince" in the imperial court, it was natural for him to form an alliance with the "Wudang faction".

Baojing Zhenren and Cao Duyun are both very handsome characters, but the third person sitting at the table is not handsome at all, and he is much older. This man has eyes like a falcon, high cheekbones, a wrinkled, grayish-black face, and a three-sheep beard on his chin.

This old man's name is Weng Yibai, and he is an elder of the "Kongtong faction", and he has a rather ugly nickname in the rivers and lakes, called "Nine-clawed Zombie".

A person may have the wrong name, but usually a nickname is not wrong. This Weng Yibai has a gray complexion, a thin body, and is dressed in black, which is indeed a little similar to a zombie, and the so-called "nine claws" means that he has strong martial arts and quick shots, as if he has nine claws, which is difficult to guard.

"Wudang" and "Kongtong" both belong to the "Central Plains Seven Major Sects", and there are dozens of masters of various factions sitting on several tables around the west head, Xue Yuan and Yi Ruoying are also among them, and their momentum is not under the three factions headed by the "Shaolin", "Putuo" and "Huashan" factions in the east.

The third-party shili is located directly north of the pavilion, and there are only two people in front of the main table, a man in brocade clothes with a majestic figure, and a middle-aged woman in a long skirt.

The big man had a face with a Chinese character, a short beard, a face like bronze, and a very powerful image, with a deerskin bag hanging on the left and right sides of his waist. And the middle-aged woman has a dignified face, a pair of eyes as calm as a lake, and her demeanor is also extraordinary.

The name of the brocade-clothed man is Tang Zilan, who is the deputy master of the "Tang Gate" in Sichuan, and the middle-aged woman is the master of the "Emei faction", and the younger sister of the current head of the painstaking master, named Qin Sang.

"Tang Sect" and "Emei" are also two of the "Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains", and both sects are in Sichuan, and Pingsuri has a close relationship. And on the few tables beside them, there were also many people from the sect, most of whom were Baidao shili in the southwest area.

Hua Bushi's eyes looked around in the Tingtao Pavilion for a week, and he already had a judgment on the division of Shili among the various sects that came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference", as well as the strength of Liliang of all parties.

The Baidao sect in the territory of the Ming Dynasty is headed by the "Seven Great Sects", and the same is true in this pavilion. The "Seven Major Sects" are divided into three factions, "Shaolin", "Putuo" and "Huashan" are **, "Wudang" and "Kongtong" are **, and "Emei" and "Tangmen" are the third party.
