conceited, proud, resentful, unwilling...... Between the lines, there seems to be a strong sense of depression and indignation. What is the deepest world of the person who created this trick "Meteor from the Sky"? From these two lines of red letters, we can already see a rough idea.

If you investigate it carefully, then this is probably a story full of all kinds of grievances and hatreds, which makes people can't help but sigh while covering up.

However, Cheng Li has no intention of pursuing anything on this basis. He casually returned the secret of the "Meteor Outside the Sky" to Xiao Ding, and said: "Since it was passed on to you by Ling Zun, then take it back and treasure it, and take it as a souvenir." ”

Xiao Ding nodded vigorously. Carefully put away the broken sword page. Then he was in a mood of gaining and losing, and asked, "Owner, what do you think...... With this Meteor of Mine, can I really break through the swordsmanship of the Seven Great Sword Sects?"

Cheng Li said without thinking: "Martial arts are dead, but people are alive." Being able to break the swordsmanship of the Seven Great Sword Sects does not mean that you can defeat the masters of the Seven Great Sword Sects.

However, the Seven Great Sword Sects have always been complacent and have never understood the truth of keeping pace with the times. The swordsmanship in their sect has not improved much over the centuries. The shortcomings and flaws in it have long been thoroughly touched. If it's just about swords, then it's not difficult to break the seven swordsmanship. ”

Xiao Ding's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. Faith grows in the breast.

Cheng Li stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and said to Xiao Ma, Xiao Lei, Xiao Fang and the other three people at the edge of the field: "You three, if you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and said nothing more. Cheng Li raised his head and saw Xiao Jianshi walking briskly from a distance. He immediately raised his voice and asked, "Sword Poetry, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jianshi walked into the martial arts training ground, first saluted respectfully, and then said, "Master, there is a guest coming to the door." He is a member of the seven major sword schools such as Huashan, Kunlun, Kongtong, Qingcheng, Emei, Changbai, and Hainan. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "Calculate the time, it's time to come." ”

Le Da Shao, who was sitting next to the martial arts training ground, stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Cheng, the Seven Great Sword Sects have come to the door, what do they want to do?

Cheng Li said casually: "Actually, it's nothing, they're here to apologize." ”

Le Dashao was stunned and said, "Apologize? What, did the Seven Great Factions offend Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Li smiled and didn't say anything. Xiao Jianshi explained on behalf of the teacher: "Shen Yong Bolian Chenghuo, once apprenticed under the three sects of Kunlun, Kongtong, and Emei. This time he staged a mutiny, and the disciples of the three factions all coordinated to make trouble. After the imperial court quelled the turmoil, of course, the three factions should be held responsible.

However, the Seven Great Sword Sects have always been in unison. Kunlun, Kongtong, Emei and other three factions will naturally ask the other four factions for help. Therefore, the seven major factions sent envoys together to enter Beijing to ask the imperial court for their guilt. But the imperial court did not let go easily, and even the people of the seven major factions had been running around in the capital for so long, and they couldn't find anyone willing to help them speak. ”

Le Dashao suddenly said: "I see." Not bad. Lianchenghuo offended Brother Cheng. Now Brother Cheng is deeply respected by the Son of Heaven. Zhuge Taifu, who has just been appointed prime minister, and the Extinction King, who has regained his reputation, also have a deep friendship with the Cheng brothers. Therefore, there is naturally no one in the court who dares to take the risk of offending Brother Cheng and speak for the seven major factions. ”

Xiao Jianshi said proudly: "That's right, that's it." Therefore, although the seven major factions are not angry, in the end, they still have to come to the door to apologize to the master. Otherwise, their lives will be very difficult. ”

Le Dashao listened to the praise, gave Cheng Li a thumbs up, and said, "Brother Cheng, you really have you." It's amazing to be able to make the seven major factions bow their heads and make amends at the same time!"

Not only Le Dashao was so heartily admired, but also Xiaoding, Xiaolei, Xiaofang, Xiaoma and other people next to him were also excited and proud.

Although the Seven Great Sword Sects have been in decline for many years, they have been in decline. But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Seven Great Sword Sects are above the rivers and lakes, and they are still a huge force that many ordinary people need to look up to. But this time, the Seven Great Sword Sects actually sent people to apologize to Cheng Li at the same time. This kind of thing...... It's unbelievable!

Cheng Li looked up at the sky and asked, "How long have you been here?"

Xiao Jianshi said: "It's not too long, it's only about half an hour." ”

In fact, half an hour is a long time. But today, what is Cheng Li's status? has the merit of protecting the Son of Heaven, and the two of the Exterminating King and Zhuge Taifu are also inextricably intertwined, and when it comes to their status in the imperial court, they can be described as red-hot and purple upstarts in the officialdom.

Therefore, let alone let the guests wait for half an hour, or even let the guests wait for half an hour (one time is twelve hours) before they can see Cheng Li. Xiao Jianshi also felt that it was no problem at all. My own master has this qualification and confidence.

Cheng Li is not so big. said: "Since they have been waiting for half an hour, it is not good to let them wait any longer." I'll just go over it. After a pause, he said to Le Dashao again: "Then, I will be out of company for the time being." ”

Le Dashao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Cheng can be at his own convenience." ”

Cheng Li bowed his head slightly, and said: "Xiao Ding, Xiao Lei, Xiao Fang, Xiao Ma." It's a rare opportunity to have this opportunity, so let's go and meet it with you. ”

The four of them were overjoyed and hurriedly agreed in unison.

At that moment, Le Dashao left on his own. Cheng Li took Xiao Jianshi and Sixiao out of the martial arts training ground together. After a few moments, I walked into a side hall. As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw more than 20 people sitting in the hall, young and old. Fortunately, the houses in the mansion are big enough. Otherwise, there is really no way to accommodate so many guests.

These twenty people, all of them wore long swords at their waists. Although the long sword is not unsheathed, it can still be seen that its length, width, weight and other characteristics are different.

For example, the two people sitting at the bottom of the sabre have extremely thin and narrow swords at their waists. Those who have a little insight can see at a glance that this is the sword of the Hainan Sword School, and the narrow blade is suitable for the sword path of the Hainan Sword School, which is mainly dangerous and fast. At the same time, it can also exert a power that is not inferior to that of land.

The two people next to them had swords at their waists. However, the hilt of the sword was specially wrapped with several layers of fine white linen. This is the habit of the people in the Changbai Sword Sect. Because the Changbai Sword Sect is located on the Changbai Mountain, it is cold all year round. Without special protection against the cold, the hand holding the sword will be frozen and stiff. This will be a fatal flaw when it comes to hands-on moves.

Looking up further, the swords on the waists of those people were in a strange shape, and they actually fused the characteristics of both swords into one. It's just because they are all disciples of the Emei faction. Only in this way can the special weapon that combines swords and swords really give full play to the power of the Emei faction's "sword double kill 7749 style".

Looking up again, several people sitting next to the Emei faction were wearing double swords at their waists. Just because of the highest skill of the Qingcheng Sword School, it is named "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword", and it must be performed with dual swords.

The swords of the Kongtong school are the most recognizable, and the body is not as straight as other swords, but is a slightly curved sword. Because the martial arts of the Kongtong School are complex, its deepest mental method, the "Flower Method", requires that cultivators must be proficient in a variety of weapons at the same time. A sword in their hands requires them to be able to play a variety of functions at the same time, such as knife skills, marksmanship skills, hook skills, and judges' pen skills. That's why their swords are like this.

The swords of the Kunlun faction, like the swords of the Changbai faction, are also treated against cold. The difference is that the blade is particularly strong and thick, and the weight is specially increased. When necessary, it can also be used as a tool for digging into the ground.

This is because the Kunlun sect is adjacent to the desert. His disciples often go into the desert. And there is a shortage of water in the desert. Finding a source of water for survival often requires digging in the sand. A sword that is strong enough to dig into the ground can often save lives in an emergency.

The swords of the Huashan faction are flat and stable, and there is nothing special about it. If there is one thing you must say, it is "standard". The length of the sword of the Huashan faction must be three feet and three inches, and the weight must be five catties and four taels.

The rules of the Huashan sect do not allow the disciples to make any form of changes to the swords awarded by the master. Just like a gentleman, he will never allow the slightest mistake. In fact, the Huashan faction and the Confucianism were very close. Huashan disciples often also dress up as Confucian scholars.

Seeing Cheng Li walk in, everyone from the Seven Great Sword Sects couldn't help but be stunned, and they were all shocked by the young man with the appearance of a heavenly man in front of them. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there really is such a peerless look in the world. But everyone immediately gathered their minds and stood up one after another. Salute to Cheng Li. Just because of Cheng Li's status, everyone is no longer allowed to be rude.

Cheng Li bowed his hand and saluted everyone in return. Go to the main seat and sit down. Xiao Jianshi was on his side, and Xiao Ding, Xiao Lei, Xiao Fang, and Xiao Ma were standing behind Cheng Li. The popularity of the four of them is extraordinary, and they invisibly set off a bit of majesty for Cheng Li.

The two sides sat down separately. Xiao Jianshi took the lead in opening her mouth and introduced the visitors for her master.

The person sent by Huashan, named Cai Xingfeng, is the deputy head of Huashan. As we all know, within the Huashan Sect, it is divided into three branches: the Qi Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Mixed Yuan Sect. Each has its own unique skills.

The Qi Sect emphasizes internal strength, the Sword Sect emphasizes swordsmanship, and the Mixed Yuan Sect emphasizes the cultivation of internal qi from the outside to the inside. Every ten years, the three sects will compete behind closed doors, and the winner will be in charge of the portal for ten years. Cai Xingfeng is the current Sword Sect Master.

The Kunlun faction has been handed down for generations, and there will be a word with "bird" in the name. The generation of contemporary leaders has a Peng character in their names. Collectively known as "Kunlun Seven Birds".

This time the person from Kunlun is the junior brother of the head of Kunlun. His name is Fang Tiepeng, and he belongs to one of the seven birds. Sima Danhe, who was once defeated by Xiao Jianshi and one of the "Kunlun Eight Cranes", was Fang Tiepeng's apprentice.

Kongtong did not have a head of the family, and originally managed the affairs of the door together by three unique and two strange, a total of five elders. But among the three uniques, the Moon Jue and the Star Jue, as well as the two thieves and the fantasy, had all died Cheng Li's subordinates before. Therefore, the person who came this time was the only remaining Elder of the Days, called Wu Tianlang, a dry black and thin old man in his fifties.

The contemporary head of the Qingcheng faction, named "Dragon and Tiger Swordsman", why not accept it. The swordsmanship is high, known as the Bashu peerless. But this time, it was only his junior brother Song Bulao, who was the deputy head of Qingcheng. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he looks only about thirty-four or five on the outside. It can be seen that the internal strength is profound and extraordinary.

Emei sent someone, surnamed Yuwen, double name Qingyun. It is said that a hundred years ago, the head of the first "sword double kill 7749 style" Yu Wenhe descended.

Although in the past hundred years, no one in the Yuwen lineage has been able to serve as the head of Emei, but in the sect, they have their own lineage, and they have always maintained a strong strength that no one can despise. Therefore, Yuwen Qingyun is also one of the "three heroes and two clouds" of the previous generation.

The person sent by Changbai is a Taoist priest, named Cangsong Daoren. Speaking of which, he has a somewhat twisted relationship with Cheng Li.

I remember that in the original incident of selling the gold cave at sea, among the people who went to sea by boat with Cheng Li, there was a couple from the Changbai Sword Sect, named Mozhu and Hanmei, collectively known as the "Meizhu Double Sword". This Cangsong Daoist is the senior brother of the plum and bamboo double swords, and the three of them together are called the three friends of Changbai.

When Changbai Sanyou was young, Cangsong and Mozhu once fell in love with the little sister Hanmei at the same time. Later, after some competition, Hanmei finally chose Mozhu. Cangsong was hurt by love, so he became a Taoist monk, traveled all over the world, and rarely went back to Changbai Mountain. Changbai Sanyou has become a plum bamboo double sword.

In the end, Hainan sent a middle-aged man named Yufan, a black and thin middle-aged man. On his face and hands, there were patches of rust everywhere, and even faintly, there was a smell of sea from his bones. At a glance, you can see that he is a man who has been active at sea for many years. At the same time, he is also the deputy head of the Hainan faction.

The mutual greeting and introduction are completed. Since the Huashan faction was the first among the seven major factions, Cai Xingfeng, the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, took the lead in standing up and hugged Cheng Li.

"Master Cheng, this time we came uninvited, it's really disturbing. It's just that it is related to the reputation of the seven major factions for hundreds of years, so we have to harass the tranquility of Master Cheng, and ask Master Cheng to forgive me. ”

The style of the Huashan school is close to Confucianism. Therefore, whether it is the Sword Sect, the Qi Sect, or the Mixed Yuan Sect, the disciples all promise to be gentlemen. Cai Xingfeng speaks politely, a humble gentleman, and it is very easy for people to have a good impression.

However, Cai Xingfeng kept calling Cheng Zhuang the owner, but never mentioned the three words "Grandpa Guo". I don't mention any official titles such as the horse lord or the general (General Yulin Zhonglang is also considered a general). It is clear that he hopes to deal with Cheng Li, the owner of the Freedom Villa, as a fellow martial artist. Otherwise, they, the white-clothed men, would not be qualified to communicate with Cheng Li as a duke on an equal footing.

In fact, Cheng Li originally didn't have the will, and wanted to use his official position to oppress people. Therefore, he didn't care about the other party's caution at all. Just made a "please sit" gesture. Said: "Sect Master Cai doesn't need to be too polite. Sit down and talk. ”

Cai Xingfeng's heart was relieved, he thanked him, sat down again, and said: "Master Chengzhuang, this time Lianchenghuo, a traitor, actually dared to start a rebellion and plot a big rebellion, it is really a wolf's ambition, and he deserves death."

However, these great rebellions belong to the actions of Lianchenghuo personally. The three major factions, including Kunlun, Kongtong, and Emei, were completely unaware of the incident in advance, and they were all blinded by this traitor. However, above the court, I heard that some people proposed to hold the three factions accountable for this. Alas~ Do you think this is a disaster?"

Cheng Li nodded and said, "Someone did propose that the three factions of Kunlun, Kongtong, and Emei should be held accountable together. However, this is just a proposal, and it is not really a public presentation.

Moreover, Emei and Kunlun are also gone. Zong Wenjing, the deputy commander of the Ouchi guards in the palace, is also a disciple of the Kongtong faction. He committed murder in order to stop the fire in the city, so that he was beaten to death. This is a fact that the Son of Heaven has seen with his own eyes. Therefore, the Son of Heaven will not have any doubts about the loyalty of the Kongtong faction. Though peace of mind is good. ”

As soon as Cheng Li's words came out, Wu Tianlang, the elder of the Kongtong faction, immediately moved with joy, stood up and clasped his fists to Cheng Li, and shook it to the end. He said continuously: "Thank you Master Cheng Zhuang for speaking up." ”

But Elder Rijue was relieved, and the Kunlun Fang Tiepeng next to him, as well as Emei Yuwen Qingyun, immediately became a little ugly. The two glanced at each other, stood up, Cheng Li hugged his fists and said: "Master Cheng Zhuang, our Kunlun faction and Emei faction are also loyal to the imperial court. Please also ask the owner of Cheng Zhuang to be clear. ”

After the two finished speaking, they glanced at the doorman behind them at the same time. The two doormen immediately unwrapped a parcel from their bodies, and then carefully opened it, revealing two beautifully decorated wooden boxes.

Fang Tiepeng and Yuwen Qingyun respectively held the wooden box in their hands and opened it. I saw the box in Fang Tiepeng's hand, which was like a pill about the size of a dragon's eye, with a fiery red body. The spicy medicinal fragrance can't help but waft out.

The box in Yuwen Qingyun's hand had a piece of metal about the size of half a brick. It's swarthy, and I don't know whether it's copper or iron. But in the deep darkness, there is a faint red light. It seems to be extraordinary.

Fang Tiepeng said loudly: "Master Cheng Zhuang, this Fire Spirit Pill is the life-sustaining elixir that has been secretly passed down through our Kunlun dynasties. No matter what serious trauma you have suffered, as long as you can take it in time, you can save a glimmer of life.

If the injury is relatively minor, it can even heal immediately. Having it with you is equivalent to an extra life. A mere gift, not a tribute. Please also ask the owner of Cheng Zhuang to smile. ”

Yuwen Qingyun said: "Master Cheng Zhuang, this is a piece of extraterrestrial black iron that our Emei faction has treasured for many years. If it is used to forge weapons, it must be a divine weapon that is difficult to find in the world.

Our Emei faction has been reluctant to use it, so it can be preserved to this day. Now that I think about it, maybe our Emei faction is not the real owner of this piece of dark iron, but God wants to borrow our hand and transfer this piece of dark iron to Master Cheng Zhuang. Please be sure to accept it. ”

In fact, gift-giving is also very knowledgeable. It is really taboo to give gifts in public like Fang Tiepeng and Yuwen Qingyun. If it is above the officialdom, then no matter how precious the gift they take out, it is guaranteed that no one will accept it.

But Fang Tiepeng and Yuwen Qingyun are both people with great status in the rivers and lakes, and they have never given gifts in their lives. And as people in the martial arts, they don't understand so many officialdom rules, so they don't care about it, and just give gifts in public.

Cheng Li is not a person in officialdom. As a teenager who grew up in the wilderness, he usually doesn't hide his desires. If you want it, you can take it, and you will never twist and twist, pretend to be a posture, pretend to be polite and give in, and so on.

So Cheng Li nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Xiao Ding, Xiao Lei, you can accept the gift for me." Brother Fang, Brother Yuwen, please rest assured. In fact, Zhuge Taifu knows your situation, and he will never mess around. However, those disciples who colluded with Lianchenghuo probably couldn't let them stay in the sect anymore. ”

While speaking, Xiao Ding and Xiao Lei walked out and took the gifts respectively. Seeing that Cheng Li accepted the gift, Fang Tiepeng and Yuwen Qingyun were also overjoyed, and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Master Cheng." Those short-eyed guys who collude with the dog's guts, we will never let go easily. After being punished by the rules of the sect, they will have their martial arts abolished, and then they will be removed from the sect and completely cut off relations with them. ”

Cheng Li's jaw said: "This, you will look at it yourself......"

Before he finished his sentence, all of a sudden, the Hainan Elder Yu Fan whispered "Huh~". His eyes were fixed on Xiao Ding. He then beckoned behind him. A disciple of the Hainan Sect who came with him immediately bent down and whispered a few words in Yu Fan's ear.

Yu Fan's complexion suddenly became very gloomy. He stood up suddenly. Xiang Cheng Li bowed his hand. asked: "Master Cheng, I don't know who this person next to you (stretching out his hand to Xiao Ding) is?"

Cheng Li frowned and said, "He is the person from my Comfort Mountain Villa, called Xiao Ding." Elder Yu, what, do you know him?"

Yu Fan snorted coldly: "I don't know." However, he must know my nephew: Mason. Because Master Mei's nephew died at his hands. ”

Xiao Ding bit his lip hard and was about to speak. Cheng Lihua interrupted him first. Said calmly: "Jian Shi, have you heard of this Mason?"

Xiao Jianshi bowed slightly and said, "Master, I've heard of it." 'Flying Fish Sword' Mason is also famous in the rivers and lakes. However, several years ago, he had been expelled from the Hainan faction for violating the rules and became an outcast of the Hainan faction. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "That's the case." So, whether this Mason is dead or alive, it's actually none of the Hainan faction's business, right?"

Before Xiao Jianshi could answer, Yu Fan had already preemptively said, "Of course it's not right." Master Cheng Zhuang, although Mei Xun is an outcast of his own faction, what he uses is, after all, still his own faction's swordsmanship. Therefore, no matter whether he lives or dies, he always belongs to the people of this sect.

If someone in this sect commits a crime, naturally there will be someone in this sect to teach a lesson, when will it be the turn of outsiders to come and take over? Not to mention that Mason has already had seven or eight points of fire when he cultivates his own swordsmanship. What is the ability of this surnamed Ding to win against Mason? Phew, I absolutely don't believe it.

So, it must be the guy surnamed Ding who secretly arranged some kind of conspiracy that killed Mason. Anyway, I am also Mason's uncle, my nephew died unjustly, and I, as an uncle, must help my nephew get justice. ”
