Chapter 36 Everyone Came to the Mountains to Compete in Martial Arts Seeing Guan Su pretending to mourn
Early the morning after tomorrow, Du Menglong, the mountain lord of Yunmeng Mountain, took a group of disciples and the other leaders of Emei Mountain and Huashan to Guigu Mountain as a public judge, while Qingniu Mountain was unable to come together due to other urgent matters.
"Lord Dushan, according to the competition you agreed with Guiguzi, it is a decisive competition, if you win the mountain, you will include the Guigu View under the gate of Yunmeng Mountain. If you lose, you can't think about it anymore. "The head of Mount Emei respects the first teacher.
"yes, all your mountains should know these things. ”
"Then are you sure that you can win the Ghost Valley View?" asked Tian Yuanguang at the top of Huashan Mountain.
"When the time comes, you'll know. Du Menglong is very confident.
"Then we'll congratulate you in advance. "Respect the first teacher.
"There, there......" Du Menglong said modestly.
As they talked, they came to the Guigu Temple, and they were all shocked when they saw the scene of the funeral in the Guigu Mountain Temple.
Lu Zong took a few disciples of Guiguguan to greet him outside the temple, and Du Menglong saw that several disciples of Lu Zong were carrying filial piety, so he said: "What's going on? What does it mean to welcome guests with filial piety? Is this the meaning of fighting to the death?"
"Lord Dushan, don't get me wrong, my master just went to the immortal the day before yesterday, and your mountain sent someone to force the competition, and we were also forced to do this, didn't that make a return to you?"
"Ah, Guiguzi has gone, why don't we know anything about it?" Jing Yi Shitai and Tian Yuanguang both exclaimed.
"Du Wei, when you came to Guigu Mountain the day before yesterday, did you know? Why didn't you tell me?" Du Menglong knew it clearly, but deliberately pretended not to know.
"The day before yesterday, they knew, but they didn't refuse the competition. "Stand aside and Du Weidao.
"Look at it, everyone is doing funerals, but we are here to compete, is this not a deception and provocation?" Du Menglong said deliberately.
Emei Jingyi also persuaded: "Lord Dushan, there is a funeral in Guiguguan, we can only come to the funeral, and the competition is indeed not appropriate." ”
At this time, Wang Heng'er, Liu Dahai, Xing Xingfen and other disciples came to the gate, and Wang Heng'er said: "Everyone, the head of the mountain, the mountain master, the matter of the martial arts competition was forcibly made by Yunmeng Mountain, and we wanted to hold it after the funeral, but we were refused, so we can only bring filial piety to the competition, please don't be surprised!"
"It seems that you are Wang Heng'er who defeated Feng Renqi. Du Menglong said to Wang Heng'er.
"Yes, may I ask ......"
"My name is Du Menglong, this is the head of Mount Emei, Jing Yishitai, and this is the head of the pastoral light road at the head of Huashan Mountain. ”
"He is the new master of my view. Liu Dahai pointed to Wang Heng'er and introduced.
Everyone looked at the youngest viewer in amazement.
"Distinguished guests, please!" Wang Heng'er said with a gesture of invitation.
Subsequently, Du Menglong and Wang Heng'er entered the Taoist temple together.
They came to the training ground. The two sides of the training ground are divided into two vertical sittings, and there is a horizontal desk in front of the two vertical sittings, which has the spirit card of Guiguzi, and the coffin of Guiguzi is behind the desk. At the back of the second vertical seat, there is a row of horizontal seats, so that the entire training field is enclosed into a rectangular shape.
After they entered the venue, under the guidance of Guigu Guan Beizi, the two vertical rows sat the martial arts disciples of the two factions of Guigu Mountain and Yunmeng Mountain, and the judges of the two factions of Emei and Huashan sat on the last horizontal row.
After everyone sat down, Heng'er stood up and arched his hand: "Everyone, due to the death of the family teacher, the competition arrangement is brief, please include more!"
"There, there, why don't you send a mourning sticker, so that we can be prepared and come to mourn. "Idyllic light road.
"I originally had this intention, but I was forced by Yunmeng Mountain, and I didn't have time to send out the mourning sticker. We have to act in a hurry when the funeral and the competition come, and we ask for your understanding. ”
Emei Jingyi Shitai said: "Guiguzi, I have always been good friends with Emei before my death, I propose, it is better to mourn first, and then compete, I don't know what Huashan and Yunmeng Mountain mean?"
Huashan Pai Tianyuanguang said: "Huashan has this intention. ”
Du Menglong saw that Mount Emei and Mount Hua had this intention, so he had no choice but to say: "That's okay, although Guiguzi and I Yunmengshan had some unhappiness before his death, but we are both Taoists, we might as well mourn Guiguzi first, and then it's not too late to compete." ”
Subsequently, the two disciples who came with Jing Yi Shi Tai first bowed to Guiguzi's spirit card on behalf of Emei Mountain.
After that, Tian Yuanguang also led two disciples to worship Guiguzi on behalf of Huashan.
In the end, Du Menglong led the disciples of Yunmengshan to come forward to mourn.
After worshipping, Du Menglong said: "Guiguzi had an extraordinary appearance during his lifetime, and he had been friends with the old man for many years, and I want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to his dignity after his death." There is a clear irony in this statement. After Du Menglong said that, he approached Guiguzi's coffin and wanted to lift the lid of the coffin, which obviously carried the meaning of disrespecting the deceased.
Seeing this, Liu Dahai hurriedly walked towards the coffin, he wanted to stop Du Menglong, and said: "This coffin lid has been sealed, and the coffin lid cannot be opened, please forgive Lord Du Shan!"
"The old man has the heart to visit, and after opening the lid of the coffin, he will be able to seal it intact again, so please rest assured that the master and nephew will be able to do so. He insisted on forcibly lifting the lid of the coffin.
Liu Dahai wanted to forcibly stop him, but he was flicked by Du Menglong's left hand, took three steps back, and then the coffin lid was lifted.
Du Menglong saw that there was only a set of shrouds in the coffin, and there was no body.
"Ah! Why is there no Guiguzi's body in this coffin? What's going on? Could it be that Guiguzi isn't dead?" This really surprised Du Menglong.
At this time, after hearing this, Jingyi Shitai of Emei and Huashan and Tianyuan Guangshantou also went up to Guiguzi coffin to take a look.
Wang Heng'er turned his mind and said calmly: "Distinguished guests, please don't misunderstand, the weather is hot, and the disciples of my view are afraid that the master's body will be decomposed, so they are cremated according to the rules of my view, and because there is no body in the coffin, please don't be surprised, this coffin is just used as a decoration in the mourning hall." ”
"Wang Heng'er, what do you mean by this? Cremation! Cremation? Is there no ashes left? You don't want to compete in martial arts, so you let Guigu pretend to be dead and hide him, right?" Du Menglong shouted wildly.
"Du Menglong, you forcibly opened the coffin, disrespectful and disrespectful to my master, not to mention this, and said such unkind and unrighteous words, can we play with the life and death of the master......? ! It turned out that Liu Dahai had already prepared, and he didn't know where to get a bag of white ash.
Du Menglong happened to open his mouth to speak, but unexpectedly took a big sip and choked several times. At this time, he was furious, and he wanted to fight and teach Liu Dahai a lesson, but he was blocked by Tian Yuanguang.
"Lord Dushan, why do you have to do this?"
"Look at us, we've been teased by them!"
"Lord Dushan, can this dead man's thing be fake? I don't think the disciples of Guigu will curse their master to die in order to escape the competition, and besides, won't the Guigu Guan also agree to the competition. "Respect the first teacher.
"That's right! The purpose of our visit this time is to judge the martial arts competition and mourn Guiguzi, but when we see that Guiguzi is gone, we will do it by the way, so it is better to put this matter aside. If you can compare this competition, if you can't compare, you can compare it another day, what do you think?"
"Our faction has long had the intention of changing the day. Wang Heng'er said.
Du Menglong thought for a while and said: "My faction is to come to Guigu Mountain to compete as agreed, this competition day cannot be changed, and it is okay not to compete today, as long as the Guigu faction admits defeat, it will be under the jurisdiction of our mountain." "Du Menglong is bent on annexing Guiguguan.
"Lord Du Shan can actually say such a thing, what do you mean, this competition must be held today, otherwise it will be up to me to admit defeat? Wang Heng'er asked rhetorically.
"Not bad!"
"If that's the case, then we have nothing to say, so let's start the competition!" Wang Heng'er said firmly.
"Okay, let's do what you two factions just wanted. Master Jing Yi looked at the Huashan Sect's pastoral light road.
Tian Yuanguang nodded and said: "According to your traditional rules, the competition should first be compared by the disciples of the two factions, such as the disciples of the two factions, and then the heads of the two factions will compare. ”
"Then let's ask each of the two factions to choose a disciple to appear. "Respect the first teacher.
