19: Four parts of the world

"There are pearls in the sea, heroes account for eight buckets, six desires are fascinated by gods and demons, and the golden dragon swallows the world? I don't know who came up with it. But whoever it is, this man must not have read anything. I don't think he can even pass the Xiucai exam, he is an old boy. ”

As soon as Bai Qiufei's words were finished, Xie Xiaoqing, who was sitting next to him, had already pursed his lips with disdain. simply criticized those four sentences as useless and worthless.

Mr. Li, who was sitting at the bottom, smiled awkwardly and explained, "Miss Xie, you are naturally full of poetry and books. But most of us who run around to eat are rough people. It's not easy to read a few words, where do you know what kind of rules, what kind of plains? Of course, how to say it smoothly.

And don't say it, although these few sentences are vulgar, they are also an image, and they put the general situation of today's rivers and lakes. Make it clear. ”

"The situation in the rivers and lakes?"

Cheng Li said: "Above the rivers and lakes, aren't there two holy lands, three major source streams, seven great sword sects, eight great families, and ten major gangs dominant? ”

Bai Qiufei smiled: "What Master Cheng Zhuang said is actually right. But it's a bit out of touch. The two holy places have always been hidden. The three major sources are respected and high, but in fact, they have broken away from the rivers and lakes and can be regarded as court forces.

Although the name of the Seven Great Sword Sects is resounding, the sect is conservative, and the talents have gradually withered in recent decades. The Eight Great Families are more conservative, no matter how profound their martial arts are, they will not pass on their surnames. But no matter how many people there are, how many outstanding children can there be? When it comes to looking at the rivers and lakes, there is nothing that can be done. ”

Cheng Li nodded: "In this way, the only forces that are really thriving in the rivers and lakes are the top ten gangs?"

Bai Qiufei stretched out five fingers and counted them carefully: "The top ten gangs are divided into the first five and the last five. The top five gangs are the Beggar Gang, the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Pai Sect. The latter five gangs are the Copper Money Gang, the Yellow River Gang, the Twelve Lianhuan Dock, the Huanzhu Building, and the Xiyong Pavilion. ”

Among them, Xiyong Pavilion, which ranks last, is actually not a gang. It is the royal palace of a prince of the previous dynasty when he was young. Later, the crown prince of the previous dynasty committed a crime and was deposed, and the rest of the sons competed for the throne. With his own talents, coupled with a bit of luck, this prince finally succeeded in seizing the throne and ascending the throne. That was Emperor Sejong of the previous dynasty.

This Emperor Sejong has always believed in the Vajra sect of the Western Domain. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he rebuilt his palace into a temple of the Vajra sect. These lamas of the Vajra sect, although they also claim to be in the lineage of Buddhism, eat meat and drink wine, kill people and set fires, and are never willing to be left behind. Therefore, under their auspices, Xiyong Pavilion gradually set foot in martial arts, and also developed into one of the top ten gangs in the rivers and lakes.

But sixty years ago, the mandate of heaven changed, the previous dynasty collapsed, and the current dynasty rose. Xiyong Pavilion lost the backing of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and its power was shrinking day by day, and it was almost removed from the rivers and lakes.

At this time, a young man worshiped in Xiyong Pavilion and became a lay disciple under the throne of the Pavilion Master's Treasure Elephant Dharma. At that time, no one expected that Xiyong Pavilion would end at the hands of this young man. Similarly, no one could have imagined that although Xiyong Pavilion did not exist, the Badou Hall newly built on the basis of Xiyong Pavilion would surpass the beggar gang and become the largest gang in the world. The power is so great that it can be called the hero of the world, and it is all in the middle. ”

Cheng Li exhaled lightly and asked, "This young man, is Lei Wujiao?"

Bai Qiufei sighed: "That's right, it's him." He has had great ambitions since he was a child, and he has great talent. It's just that he came from a humble background, and he is just a side door in the Lei family, and he will never be able to learn the real magic skills of the Lei family, nor will he be able to take charge of the power of the Lei family and the Thunderbolt Hall. That's why he left the Lei family and looked for another opportunity. ”

Cheng Li said: "His chance, is in Xiyong Pavilion?"

Bai Qiufei said: "In the Xiyong Pavilion, there is the supreme magic skill of the Tubo Vajra Sect - the Vajra Nine-Character Formula. This divine skill is extremely powerful, and it is said that it is not under the divine skill of the three major sources of the town sect. It's just that cultivation is also very difficult, so for a long time, no disciple in Xiyong Pavilion has been able to practice. Until he met Lei Wugui. ”

After 20 years of hard work, Lei Wuyi successfully cultivated the nine-character formula of King Kong, and went out of the mountains to challenge the famous masters in the rivers and lakes. In the past three years, hundreds of battles, big and small, all ended in overwhelming victories, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

With this great victory over Yu Wei, Lei Wuyi returned to Xiyong Pavilion and took over the position of pavilion master. Then the Xiyong Pavilion was changed to the Eight Bucket Hall. Recruit heroes from all over the world, and the momentum is unparalleled for a while. ”

Cheng Li asked: "Then what is the origin of the Canghai Yueming Building?"

Bai Qiufei was a little proud, and said with a smile: "Canghai Yueming Tower is the former Pearl Tower. The founder is my eldest brother's father, Zhu Xiaoxiang. However, at that time, Huanzhu Tower was just a vassal under the Eight Doutang.

It wasn't until eight years ago that my eldest brother Zhu Youtear took over the Pearl Tower and renamed it Canghai Yueming Building, which grew and rose rapidly. Finally, they came from behind, and they were on an equal footing with Badoutang, each on an equal footing. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said: "There are pearls in the sea, and heroes account for eight buckets." I understand both of these sentences. What about the last two sentences?"

Bai Qiufei said: "Eighteen years ago, six masters suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, claiming to be gods and demons of the six desires. Their identities and martial arts are extremely mysterious. As soon as he came out of the rivers and lakes, he wiped out the Five Poisons Sect and the Pai Sect, and occupied the main altar of the Five Poisons Sect, renamed the Six Desires Heaven. From then on, he closed the door and became the king. No one knows exactly what they want to do.

Although it seems that there is no quarrel with the world, the people in the rivers and lakes never dare to despise them in the slightest. Because it is said that their leader, the Lord of the Six Desires Heavens, is not only the most evil, but also comparable to the heads of the two holy lands and the three major streams. And he's the most terrifying man of all time: a madman!"

"Crazy?"

Cheng Li shook his head and expressed disbelief: "If you are really crazy, it is impossible to practice the top martial arts." It is even more impossible to build an organization. Whoever wants to believe such a thing, I think he is crazy. ”

Bai Qiufei smiled: "Actually, I don't believe it either. But it's all rumored on the rivers and lakes, so I'll just say it. But the Lord of the Six Desires Heaven is not really a madman, the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, but he must be crazy. He even publicly declared that he wanted to overthrow the current emperor and become the lord of the world himself. And what's even crazier is that today he is helpless. ”

Cheng Li's eyes lit up and asked, "Who is this madman?"

Bai Qiufei exhaled softly. With a solemn expression, he said slowly word by word: "He is the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, Li Da, nicknamed 'Qi Swallowing Qiankun', Li Qing burned the boat." ”

Li Da, who swallowed everything, Li Yanzhou.

This seemingly simple name seems to contain some incredible magic. Even though Cheng Li had never heard of this name, he still instinctively held his breath at the moment when the word "Li Yanzhou" came into his ears. It wasn't until a long time that I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Break the cauldron and burn the boat, fight against the water. I've heard of this allusion. Since it is in the name of burning the boat, then I think that this person is not only ruthless to the enemy, but also to himself. Such a character will either be a big success or a big failure. But no matter whether he succeeds or fails, this person will definitely be as vigorous as the overlord of Chu and leave his own name forever. ”

Bai Qiufei also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Li Da Li Yanzhou is a living Chu overlord in the martial arts of the world." Back then, he and six other brothers, Jin Lan, formed a righteous alliance and created the Golden Dragon Gang, collectively known as the Golden Dragon Seven Heroes. Over the years, his sworn brothers have died one after another, and only the last Liu Wuliu Yinfeng remains.

Li Yanzhou's martial arts are superb, and it is said that he has surpassed the heads of the three major streams, which is comparable to the lords of the two holy lands. Since his debut, he has fought more than 300 battles, and he has never been invincible and invincible.

As for Liu Wu, he is very wise and claims to be a last resort. Under his scheme, the Golden Dragon Gang gathered a large number of famous grandmasters and martial arts aliens. There are 80,000 people under his jurisdiction, all of whom are trained in military law. It also included more than 30 small and medium-sized gangs in the rivers and lakes. Soldiers, brave generals, and sufficient food. It can be said that it is no longer as simple as a gang, it is simply a country within a country. ”

Cheng Li was stunned and said, "It's already strong to this extent, so what about the imperial court? Is it just watching the Golden Dragon Gang sit big, but don't care about anything?"

Bai Qiufei said: "Of course." The imperial court once invited the heads of the three major streams to negotiate with Li Yanzhou. What the details of that negotiation were, no one in the rivers and lakes knew. Everyone only knows that after the head of the three major streams came back, he couldn't go into retreat. Li Yanzhou has always been active in the rivers and lakes. So the results are already obvious.

Due to various reasons, it was inconvenient for the imperial court to directly send troops to encircle and suppress the Golden Dragon Gang. Therefore, the imperial court changed its strategy and decided to also support the forces of the rivers and lakes and use the rivers and lakes to control the rivers and lakes. The reason why our Canghai Yueming Tower and Badoutang have been able to develop to this day, and there is one of the four parts of the world, cannot but be said is thanks to the support of the imperial court. ”

Cheng Liqi said: "So, you Canghai Yueminglou and Badoutang, in fact, all do the same thing for the imperial court?

Bai Qiufei smiled and said, "Although the imperial court supports us, it definitely doesn't want to see us become a new Golden Dragon Gang after defeating the Golden Dragon Gang." So secretly provoked us to fight against each other.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The resources given by the imperial court are limited, and whoever eats more will eat less. Therefore, whether we are Canghai Yueminglou or Badoutang, we are all happy to devour each other, and then fight to the death with the Golden Dragon Gang to decide who is the real overlord of the rivers and lakes. So what is the reason for this robbery, Brother Cheng, you must have understood. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "Understood." It means that once the two of you have the opportunity to attack each other, you will never hesitate in the slightest, right?"

Bai Qiufei was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "My eldest brother wishes tears, he is a real gentleman, and he will never do anything to avenge him." But on the side of Badoutang, it's hard to say. Master Cheng Zhuang, although you are highly skilled, compared to the power of the Eight Dou Tang in the Freedom Villa, after all, it is still too far behind. ”

Cheng Li said lightly: "So, what do you say to do?"

Bai Qiufei perked up and said in a condensed voice: "Liaodong is too narrow, and the Freedom Mountain Villa is too small. Master Cheng Zhuang is also a rare talent, why not take the opportunity to jump out of Liaodong and join Canghai Yueming Building?"

Xie Xiaoqing next to him pursed his lips and said, "What's good about joining you?" I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The little brother went into the Canghai Yueming Mansion and was your subordinate? That's so boring. ”
