Chapter 377: Dao Sect Exchange Meeting
After coming out of the bar, Jiang Lai walked towards the bar alone.
The main purpose of the Wu family's holding of the Daomen exchange meeting this time was clear to him, because all this was planned by him, and the Wu family's actions were also expected by him.
When he was in Jiangzhou, he took advantage of the opportunity to provoke disputes among various forces, which not only caused trouble for the Yi family, but also framed the Sanhe faction by the way. The purpose of this is to weaken the power of the Yi family so that they can recapture Qingzhou City from their hands, and the other is to eradicate the three old things of the Sanhe faction, as long as they live, Hai Quicksand can only be a puppet forever.
Once the three elders are dead, the head of Hai Liusha can rightfully take over the Sanhe faction, although the process will not be too smooth, but it is a small problem, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
He is willing to help the sea quicksand, in fact, it is still for himself. Now, various hidden forces have surfaced, with Qingzhou as the center, and there are several forces entrenched around it, the Wu family, the Shang family, and the Sanhe faction, and he happens to be caught in the center.
As the saying goes, the current situation is very complicated and may face danger at any time, so he needs to establish a solid line of defense, and at the same time defend himself against foreign enemies, but also give himself room to develop. And the Sanhe faction in charge of the sea quicksand is undoubtedly the best choice, as long as they join forces and help each other, no one will dare to provoke them easily in the future.
Halfway down the road, Jiang Lai began to slow down, and the corner of his eye swept to the sides behind him from time to time. He is vigilant at all times, a habit he has developed over the years. Along the way, he had already noticed the two men behind him, who had been secretly staring at him.
After pondering for a while, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he gradually quickened his pace, and went straight back to the hotel.
At this time, the two men who were secretly following came to Jiang Lai's room until they saw him enter the room with their own eyes, and then turned to leave. However, no sooner had the two of them walked than the door of a guest room next door opened, and a man stepped out, following behind them.
Next.
The city finally became lively, because the Daomen exchange meeting was about to be held, and some Daomen forces arrived one after another, including the Lingyan Sect, the Songyin Sect, the Wulan Sect, and the Eight Desolation Sects, all of whom were invited.
This time, the Wu family was very prescient, and all the Daomen forces were arranged in different hotels so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts between them.
In addition to the Daomen forces, there are also many independent Daomen people, who are also in the ranks of the invitation. What's even more coincidental is that the hotel where these Daomen people stay happens to be the same hotel where Jiang Lai lives.
According to a rough estimate, there are at least forty or fifty of these lonely Daomen, and many of them are strong people with advanced cultivation, which gives Jiang Lai a new understanding of the Daomen of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
In the evening, Jiang Lai took a short rest in his room, then left the room and went straight to the restaurant next to the hotel lobby. At this moment, it is the peak season for dining, and most of the hotel's guests are there. Jiang Lai walked into the restaurant, glanced at it, and found that most of the people in it were from the Daomen, and everyone was sitting together in groups of three or five, talking loudly, so lively.
Since the restaurant was full, Jiang Lai finally found a place to sit against the wall. After ordering a set meal, he sat quietly in his chair, looking at the people around him, listening to their conversation with interest.
"The Daomen Exchange Conference has not been held for many years, and we have no regrets that we can participate in it once in our lifetime. ”
"As far as I know, the Daomen Exchange will represent the peak of the Daomen, I think that back then, there were tens of thousands of all the Daomen forces, and they have been inherited to this day, I am afraid that it is not even one-tenth, and I don't know when it will return to the glory of the Daomen. ”
"I can't say that, in fact, the Daomen forces have been developing in secret, but they are little known. Moreover, times are changing, and many people regard the inheritance of the Daomen as a trick to deceive people. ”
"That's all because there are too many people in the Daomen who deceive their fame and steal the world, which has ruined the reputation of the Daomen. Some scum of the Daomen have mastered one and a half moves, and they think that they are invincible in the world, and they are swaggering and deceiving everywhere, making the reputation of the Daomen more and more stinky, and I want to say that this kind of scum should be eradicated as soon as possible, so as not to lose the face of the people in our Daomen. ”
"That's right, I think so too, I hope that the Wu family and other Daomen forces can take the lead in purging the atmosphere of the lower Daomen. ”
"This fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, can I sit here?"
At this time, a melodious voice like a silver bell came, Jiang Lai looked up, and saw a delicate girl standing in front of him, with a faint red glow on her snow-white cheeks, delicate and moving.
He glanced around and saw that the other seats in the dining room were full, but there was only one seat left at his table. At that moment, he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Please!"
"Thank you!" the girl thanked and called the waitress to order a meal.
After a while, the food for both was served on the table. Eating and listening to the chatter of the people around him, Jiang Lai felt very interesting. The scattered people in these Daomen are all kind, and they have straightforward personalities, unlike those Daomen forces, all of whom have ghosts in their hearts, and they are extremely mean in what they say and do.
In contrast, he prefers to be around these people and feels at ease.
"Guys, who has the best chance of coming out on top in this Daomen exchange meeting?"
"It's hard to say, the Daomen forces we knew before are all in the past, and now, big families like the Wu family, the Shang family, the Ma family, and the Xu family are the representatives of the Daomen forces, as well as the Sanhe faction that has just risen recently, it is not simple. ”
"Don't forget that there is also Nuwa, these Daomen are very powerful, if you really want to make a move, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses. However, I personally think that the Sanhe faction has a greater chance, after all, they have the longest inheritance, and they have the power of inheritance, plus their rich heritage, it should not be difficult to come out on top. ”
Hearing their discussion, Jiang Lai was suddenly a little curious, "Is there still a martial arts competition at the Daomen Exchange Conference?"
When the words fell, it immediately attracted a full house of laughter, "Little brother, you should be a newcomer in the Daomen, you don't even understand the rules of the Daomen Exchange Meeting." Okay, since you asked, I might as well tell you about it. ”
"The Daomen Exchange Conference originated more than 2,000 years ago, and it is a place where Daomen forces compete in martial arts, representing the most glorious period of Daomen. The organizer will prepare the reward in advance, and whoever comes out on top will not only get the reward, but also make a name for himself, which is the best of both worlds. Moreover, the winner also has a special right. ”
