Tiejian Mountain, Pingyun Peak, the sword appreciation conference finally opened here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two days ago, Shen Feng had already entered the Iron City with dozens of his subordinates and joined Zhou Chen.

Now that the conference has opened, their group has already reached this Pingyun Peak more than an hour in advance.

On the way up to Pingyun Peak, Zhou Chen also saw the figures of the disciples of the Qingcheng faction and the Hengshan faction, as well as other idle warriors with the strength of the rivers and lakes, or the three sects and nine streams.

There is no threshold for the sword appreciation conference, as long as you come to the venue, you are qualified to watch the excitement, and even if you want to play, no one will stop you.

The venue for the sword appreciation conference is very wide, and the first thing Zhou Chen saw when he stepped into this place was a huge martial arts ring.

The ring as a whole is made of huge stones, reaching a height of about one zhang, and if you want to see the competition in the ring, you must stand on a high place.

The organizer's Sword Casting Villa naturally thought of this a long time ago, so around the martial arts ring, a viewing platform was built that was higher than the ring.

These viewing platforms were divided by forces, and Shen Feng walked in the direction of the largest viewing platforms, one of which was the high platform designated for Jinling Villa.

Zhou Chen naturally followed behind Shen Feng, and after waiting for the designated high platform of Jinling Villa, what he saw was that a young girl had already sat on a seat on the high platform in advance.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in white and wearing black boots, and her long hair was simply and rudely tied into a big ponytail. When she saw Shen Feng and the others coming to the stage, she turned her face away, pointed the sheathed long sword at Shen Feng with a "swish", and said, "Big brother, you are too slow!"

"Third sister, brother, I'm very busy, our dad has been in retreat too many times recently, and many major matters in the villa can't be handed over to the second uncle to deal with, and a lot of them have fallen on me!"

Shen Feng complained, but he had already walked closer, opened the long sword pointed at him, and sat down on the seat next to the girl.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian, and beckoned to the two: "Come on, sister-in-law, come and sit together!"

The entire platform is very large, enough to accommodate nearly 100 people.

Zhou Chen and his entourage were originally twenty-five people, and after combining the people brought by Shen Feng, there were more than sixty people in total, which was more than enough to go to this high platform together.

However, there are not many seats on the high platform, only ten.

Now Shen Feng and the girl have two of them, and Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian have to take up two more. There is also a main seat reserved for Shen Feng's second uncle, that is, the person with the highest rank in Jinling Mountain Villa this time, who came to replace the owner of the village who could not attend the conference because of retreat.

There are five positions left, and they are for a few innate realm martial artists.

The hunchbacked old man was eligible to occupy one seat, and the two innate masters under Shen Feng also occupied two seats.

In the end, there were two seats left, and they had to stay empty. Dozens of others could only stand and watch the entire assembly.

"Brother-in-law, this is my third sister Shen Yufeng, everyone is their own person, you can get close to each other. ”

When Zhou Chen and Shen Junlian were also seated, Shen Feng immediately introduced the girl in white.

"It turned out to be the Flying Cloud Woman, and I have admired it for a long time. ”

Zhou Chen heard Shen Junlian say that this Shen Yufeng, when they met at this moment, the secret way was really as they heard, she was a heroic woman.

At least visually.

"I've heard of you, and you don't have a good reputation. ”

Shen Yufeng glanced at Zhou Chen, her speech was very straightforward, she turned to Shen Junlian and smiled at her, and said, "But as long as Junlian's sister likes it." ”

"Cousin......"

Shen Junlian sat next to Shen Yufeng at this moment, and the two began to talk privately in whispers.

"Haha, let's just let the two girls talk. Brother-in-law, let's have a drink together. ”

Shen Feng smiled and clapped his hands, and a martial artist immediately stepped forward and opened a bulging bag on his back, which was a rectangular wooden box.

Shen Feng casually dragged an empty seat to him and put the wooden box on it.

The lid of the wooden box was lifted with a "pop", and a wave of hot air immediately came out of it.

Zhou Chen looked inside the wooden box and saw two stacks of side dishes inside.

With a "snap", Shen Feng's hand moved again, and the wooden box was split in two, revealing the mezzanine below.

There are two more side dishes on the bottom floor, which are still steaming.

"What's going on, brother-in-law? This is a lunch box that I paid a lot of money to order, and it is made of special wood, and the biggest function is to keep these foods warm for three days, and now when I open the lid of the box, these small dishes are the same as those I just made three days ago." ”

As Shen Feng was talking, another martial artist under his command had already brought a jar of wine and two large bowls.

"Come, let's go!"

Shen Feng personally poured the wine, filled the two large bowls, and then picked up the bowls to drink with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen has profound internal skills, and the amount of alcohol is almost bottomless, and it is impossible to get drunk, so he also picked up a big bowl and bumped it with him, and then the two began to "gurgling" to pour down a bowl of wine.

"Come again!"

Shen Feng saw that Zhou Chen was drinking crisply, and filled the two bowls with a smile, and then picked up the bowl and went to a bowl with Zhou Chen.

"Slow ......"

Zhou Chen hurriedly stopped him and said, "We can't drink like this, otherwise the conference will not start yet, and this jar of wine will be gone, so let's eat and talk first." ”

"Yes. ”

Shen Feng nodded, and said with annoyance: "I knew that I would bring a few more jars of wine, but unfortunately the wine we drank was also rare, and I could only get this jar brother." ”

"Haha, it's okay, let's eat vegetables, Brother Shen Feng, tell me about the origin of these people again. ”

Zhou Chen pointed to the other high platforms, as well as the people above.

"It's easy, I'll tell you in order. The high platform on our right, that is the Bat Villa, but today I am afraid it will be empty all the time, their people are elusive and nervous, and they basically don't walk around the rivers and lakes, and even this sword appreciation conference is not every time they will participate. ”

"After that, it is the high platform of the main throne, naturally it is from the Sword Forging Villa, and you will be able to meet their people later. ”

"The next one is the Shaolin faction, I don't say you should see it too, these monks are very serious, and they are the first to arrive at the venue every time. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chen followed what Shen Feng was pointing at, and sure enough, the high platform was already densely packed with monks in uniform robes.

It's just that what makes him a little strange is that this Shaolin faction's high platform is twice as large as that of other forces, and it is even larger than that of the organizer of Sword Casting Villa.

Shen Feng seemed to know his doubts, so he explained at the right time: "No surprise, the Shaolin faction has always been the biggest collaborator of Sword Casting Villa. What kind of knives, guns and sticks, every few years the Shaolin faction will order a large number of weapons at one time in the Sword Casting Villa, which is simply the God of Wealth, and I will give them special treatment if I change it. ”

"Won't this Shaolin faction make its own weapons?"

Zhou Chen was strange, since he had to come every few years, it was better to develop his own arsenal as soon as possible.

Of course, the Shaolin faction also has its own place to make weapons, but what is made there can only be used by ordinary disciples, and the real elite disciples often have deep internal strength, and they must be equipped with high-quality weapons in order to exert their combat power, otherwise the weapons will be destroyed in three or two strokes, wouldn't it be too useless and the losses will be greater. And high-grade weapons can only be created by a few forces led by Sword Forging Villa. ”

Shen Feng said, seeing that Zhou Chen still had doubts, he said: "You don't know how big the Shaolin faction is, I said that they will only equip elite disciples with high-grade weapons, but do you know how many elite disciples there are in Shaolin? Three thousand! Known as three thousand elites! Each one is the strongest level under the innate level, ten or twenty formations are on the same page, and it is not a problem to besiege and kill two or three innate ones!"

"I see, three thousand elite disciples, this number is several times that of other sects. And Shaolin will order a batch of weapons every few years, no matter how rich other forces are, they will not be like this, only a real rich man like the Shaolin faction dares to do this, no wonder the Sword Casting Villa wants to offer the Shaolin faction as the god of wealth. ”

Zhou Chen nodded and said his guess and analysis.

"Haha, that's the reason. ”

Shen Feng smiled, took another sip of wine, and began to make introductions.

Shaolin is followed by Emei, which is the main school of swords used by both men and women. The Emei disciples were very low-key, even if their head had not arrived, they all sat there one by one with their eyes closed, and even if there was no seat, they would sit cross-legged and calm down.

Further down Emei, there are Huashan faction, Qingcheng faction, Kunlun faction, Diancang faction, Kongtong faction......

There are also many first-class second-rate forces that have also been brought out by Shen Feng one by one, including the Hengshan faction, as well as Zhou Chen's thunderous Black Tiger Gate and so on.

After a circle, Shen Feng introduced all the forces that needed attention, and most of the forces had already arrived, and the common thing was that like their Jinling Villa, the real leader had not yet come.

Shen Feng told Zhou Chen that the heads or representatives of various sects and factions were all guests on another mountain peak at the moment, that is, the base camp of Sword Casting Villa. When the sword appreciation tournament really begins, they will come with the people of Sword Forge Villa.

Of course, this refers to the forces that are valued by the Sword Forge Villa, and those third- and fourth-rate sects, they don't even have a special viewing platform here, they can only stand around the ring and watch the competition.

And Zhou Chen also noticed that in the introduction that Shen Feng had just made, there were several top forces missing.

None of the four major gods. Among the six grains of the three villages and six valleys, only the Valley of Bliss and the Valley of Peacocks are mentioned. In addition, the Wudang faction and the Snow Mountain faction among the nine major sects did not mention it.

Zhou Chen said this question, and Shen Feng also gave a general explanation.

For example, the Wudang faction, Xiaoyao Valley, Dragon King Valley, Beast King Valley, Medicine Valley and other forces are all because they are not much interested in divine weapons, or because of the relationship between martial arts concepts, they do not have high requirements for weapons, so they basically will not attend the sword appreciation conference.

For example, the Snow Mountain Sect, as well as the Holy Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sect among the four major divine sects, are all because of geographical relations, and they will not come to participate because of the distance.

The rest of the Blood God Sect and the Lotus Sect have been at odds with the Sword Forging Villa since hundreds of years ago due to historical reasons, so they will not come.

On the contrary, if they come, they will definitely be considered to have come to make trouble, and the people of Sword Forge Villa will not welcome them, and they will be the first to invite them out.

These big forces will not come, and there is no special platform for them in the venue of the conference.

There are also a lot of small and medium-sized sects, because they are involved in these forces, or simply subordinate superiors and subordinates, so their big brother did not come, and these small and medium-sized sects as junior brothers will not come.

When Shen Feng introduced Zhou Chen to other forces one by one, most of those forces also noticed them.

Especially among them, the Shaolin faction, the Kunlun faction, the Qingcheng faction, the Hengshan faction, and the Valley of Bliss.

The Shaolin faction and the Kunlun faction both focused on Zhou Chen because of the remnants of "Yi Jin Washing Pulp Gong".

On the day that Zhujiazhuang was destroyed, Zhou Chen saved Zhu Youzhen's life.

First, he was afraid that Nadi would rebel and not kill people to leave his name, but let Zhou Chen carry the black pot. Therefore, it is necessary to leave Zhu Youzhen to tell who the real enemy is, so as not to let Zhou Chen himself be wronged.

The second is that she needs to go to the Kunlun faction and report the news of the remnants of the "Yi Jin Pulp Washing Gong" discovered by Zhou Chen, so that it can be regarded as selling Shaolin and Kunlun at the same time.

So after saving Zhu Youzhen, Zhou Chen sent two people to escort her to the core territory of the Kunlun faction.

At this time, on the high platform of the Kunlun faction, Zhou Chen actually saw her, and I don't know why she was qualified to participate in the sword appreciation conference with the sect.

Zhu Youzhen also saw Zhou Chen's side, but she just looked at it with a complicated expression and turned her head.

Zhou Chen saw her reaction and understood it very well. Although he saved Zhu Youzhen that day, he watched the others in Zhujiazhuang being killed, and did not help.

Two days ago, he was still calling Zhu Yuanqing a brother and brother, but he did something that he would not save when he died, which really made Zhu Youzhen grateful to Zhou Chen, the life-saving benefactor.

Even Zhou Chen's current reputation is getting more and more stinky, one is that after the sneak attack on Peng Hu that day, the Qingcheng faction deliberately promoted his meanness. The second is that it came out of the people of the Kunlun faction that Zhou Chen was a villain who would not be saved when he saw death.

There is also the Qingcheng faction and the Hengshan faction, needless to say. When Zhou Chen drinks and eats food now, he can also feel the bursts of malice and murderous aura coming from the high platform of the two factions.

Finally, there are the people of the Valley of Bliss, on the high platform where they are, Liu Baoyu, the son of Bliss, also brings his own wine and food, and under the considerate service of the maidservants, he can open his mouth and drink wine without having to do it himself.

The Prince of Bliss is famously lustful, and his eyes glance at Zhou Chen's side from time to time, but the main thing he looks at is Shen Yufeng and Shen Junlian.

"These two young ladies of the Shen family are really the best in the world, Shen Jun is merciful and beautiful, but Shen Yufeng is not much worse, and this kind of heroine is strong, and it is more fun to play. ”

The Son of Bliss smiled evilly and commented on the two Shen family ladies, even if Shen Feng sensed it and glared at him with a vicious threat, he was not afraid at all.

"I said, senior brother, it's enough for you to choose one of these two beauties, you can't take all the benefits, or what if you call me?"

There are all women on this side of the Valley of Elysium, but in addition to the Prince of Bliss, there is also a man sitting next to him.

This person is also dressed as a merry boy, but his appearance looks ugly.

"Senior brother, what you said is not right, I heard that you just got two chicks two days ago, why did you get tired of playing so quickly? I don't shoot as often as you, every time I choose carefully, I finally like two, and before I get it, you want to come and get a piece of the pie?"

The Boy of Bliss smiled and shook the fan in his hand, and was about to continue to say something.

But then his face suddenly changed and he said, "Here we are!" (To be continued.) )
