[Chapter 9: Jiugong Mountain, Olympia]
Bai Xiaosheng's shout had an effect. Sanqingzi actually really stopped.
San Qingzi turned his head indifferently and stared at Bai Xiaosheng fiercely, the skin on Qingxi's cheeks turned into wavy undulations, obviously he was holding back the turmoil in his heart.
"You are Bai Xiaosheng? Is "Jianghu Weapons Spectrum" written by you? ”
Bai Xiaosheng obviously didn't expect that his self-introduction would turn Sanqingzi's face into a blower, so he took a step back in horror and muttered, "Yes, do you have any advice?" ”
San Qingzi's face suddenly became very strange, and he stared at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Since you can compile my Han's "Jianghu Weapon Spectrum", have you ever thought of compiling a "World Weapon Spectrum"?" ”
"The World's Weapons Spectrum?" Bai Xiaosheng was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses, and pointed at the two foreigners who had stopped and stood around Sanqingzi in surprise, and said with trembling lips, "You, you, you want to destroy the Nine Palace Mountain Sword Discussion Sword convened by the Gong family?" ”
Sanqingzi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
Bai Xiaosheng still trembled his lips and shook his head incredulously: "This, how is this possible?" Since the death of Wudang Wuyazi real immortal......"
"Back then, the ancestor of Wuyazi was defeated by Leo, the son of the sun in Europe, and the palace didn't save him when he saw death, hum, this time I came here first, and summoned the Zoroastrian king Hussein, the Christian bishop Achille, and tomorrow I will meet Leona, the new hall master of the palace of Hades in Rome. When the few of us are done, I'll see how the Gong family will hold a sword debate again in Jiugong Mountain! Sanqingzi's eyes were filled with hatred and a little pleasure.
Bai Xiaosheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The battle between Wuyazi Zhenren and Leo back then was a fair battle, and at that time, Mr. Gong Da had already fought three times in a row, so he was really powerless to make a move......
"I don't care!" Sanqingzi waved his hand violently and said in a deep voice. "The ancestor is sorry for the defeat, the palace sits idly by, this revenge is not in vain for the disciple of Wudang!"
At this time, there was a shout from the direction of the street corner from the direction of the Hun army, and Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly said: "Sanqingzi, since you want to destroy Jiugong Mountain and go by yourself, why do you want to hurt the Marquis of Bohai?" After all, you are also a Han Chinese, and now that the two armies are fighting, if you hurt the Hou Ye, wouldn't it make the relatives and enemies happy? If there is no Yazi real person alive, even if you agree to destroy the Jiugong Mountain Sword. I will never agree to you hurting the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, so that my Han sworn enemies the Huns will take advantage! ”
Bai Xiaosheng said something earlier, Sanqingzi has been unmoved, but when the last sentence said Wuyazi, Sanqingzi was moved. He looked at Shen Yun behind him, and then at Bai Xiaosheng. It seems that he wants to agree to come down and let Shen Yun go for the time being.
But at this time. Christian Bishop Achillet suddenly said, "But." We have decided to hold a sword ceremony on Mount Olympia, and we must have a distinguished guest from the Han Dynasty to participate in order to reflect the legitimacy of our Olympia sword ceremony! Sanqingzi Zhenren, here, is there a more honorable guest than the Marquis of the Han Dynasty? ”
This sentence suddenly made Sanqingzi frown.
The rumbling footsteps were almost at the door of the Ceylon Inn, and Bai Xiaosheng looked at Sanqingzi anxiously. But there is no way.
Shen Yun suddenly said: "Daoist Sanqingzi, you see how this is, if you can do me a favor, I can promise you to participate in the Olympia Sword Debate." At the same time, I can ask His Royal Highness the Great Han Hu Gong and His Royal Highness Ying Gong to issue a joint statement in support of your Olympia Sword Debate, and even let them participate in it! ”
"Really?" Mikiyoko and Achillet asked in surprise at the same time. Obviously, Shen Yun's proposal had already made them very excited.
Shen Yun couldn't move half of his body, so he sat on the stool, posed like a sincere gentleman, and said with his chest straight: "Since you know my identity, of course you should also believe the words of a Han marquis!" ”
Mikiyoko and Achillet glanced at each other, and they both read the agreement in each other's eyes. So, Sanqingzi said: "Okay, I'll let you go for the time being today......"
Shen Yun shook his head: "No, no, no, you're wrong, I didn't let you let me go in exchange for being able to formalize the Olympic Sword this time, but you want to do me a favor!" ”
Sanqingzi's annoyed expression flashed, and he shouted, "What's the busy? ”
At this time, a hundred-man Hun army forced to the door, and a centurion stood at the door and shouted inside. Bai Xiaosheng, Wang Lun and several other soldiers hid in the Ceylon inn.
Shen Yun smiled and said, "The favor I want from the Taoist is very simple, that is, to help me take down the Xiongnu Zuoxian King!" ”
Sanqingzi and Achillet were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Sanqingzi said: "Bohai Hou, don't you think your strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf is too obvious? ”
Shen Yun ignored the ridicule in his words at all, and instead asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the Dao Chief, the Bishop, and the Dharma King can't help Ben Hou with this?" ”
Hussein, who had not spoken much, was already impatient, and stepped forward and said to Sanqingzi: "Sanqingzhen, don't make a deal with this madman, he actually asked us to attack the army." Take them away and get out of town! ”
Really, with the skills of Sanqingzi, Achillit and Hussein, it was relatively easy to escape from Tyumen at this time, but to storm into the royal tent of King Zuoxian was no different from sending him to death. The twenty or so soldiers of Shen Yun did not have the usual equipment, and they had some scruples, which allowed Achillet and Hussein to fight squarely, if they were prepared, whether these high-ranking and high-skilled warriors could win so easily was still between the two.
At this time, the Hun hundred-man team had formed a shield formation and gradually approached the inn, Bai Xiaosheng, Shi Qian, Ouyang Fu, Wang Lun and several other soldiers were tightly protected around Shen Yun, Zhang Ji had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to carry Shen Yun and rush out at any time.
Shen Yun looked more and more leisurely, and took a sip of the tea cup on the table with his movable right hand, and then said: "The three of you should think about it, I still have thousands of troops outside the city, as long as you can help me set off chaos in the city, and at the same time the people who blockade the inner city flee, I can naturally send troops in to occupy Tyumen City." In fact, you are not required to storm the king's tent. You are all strong in martial arts, and you are in and out of the army as if you were in a no-man's land, why don't you do me a favor and easily get the legitimacy you want? ”
This proposal made Sanqingzi, Achillit, and Hussein quite moved.
"Just messing up the city? Don't need to directly hit the king's tent? Mikiyoko confirmed again.
Shen Yun nodded with a smile.
Achillet gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it." I hope that Your Excellency the Marquis will not break his promise! ”
Shen Yun said with a smile: "Of course." Of course. Since the three of you have agreed, please accept the certificate first! ”
Achillet and Hussein were stunned at the same time: "Vote for the name? What is a Petition of Nomination? ”
Shen Yun casually pointed to the Hun hundred-man team at the door and said, "Since the three of you want to help, of course you have to let Ben Hou see your skills first." If the 100-man team can't be defeated in front of me, how can I rest assured that I will cooperate with you? Of course, rest assured, my soldiers will help you! ”
Well, Shen Yun, who is obviously weak, is now appointing these three martial arts masters. That look that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Finally, he looked full of anger. But the three martial arts masters who had to succumb shouted and pounced on the Hun hundreds, and when Wang Lun immediately rushed up with his soldiers to help, Bai Xiaosheng had already given Shen Yun a thumbs up: "Master Hou, this move is really high!" ”
Shen Yun smiled evilly: "Hehe." Let's not engage in conspiracy and trickery, if we want to engage in upright conspiracy. Knowing that it is foot washing water. They have to give Lao Tzu a drink! ”
……………………………… Dividing line ....................................
I have to say that Shen Yun's awareness of seizing the opportunity and hitting the soft underbelly of people's hearts is fantastic. Of course, this is also due to the memories of Shen Yun's previous life. The conversation between Bai Xiaosheng and Sanqingzi may not be understood by any person in this era, let alone grasp the key point. But Shen Yun, who has read a lot of martial arts novels, has grasped some key factors. That's how it turned the tables around.
In this regard, even Bai Xiaosheng, the old Jianghu, had to praise Shen Yun.
Of course, taking advantage of this time, Shen Yun hurriedly asked Bai Xiaosheng about the specific situation. For example, Jiugong Mountain on the sword.
With the help of Bai Xiaosheng's erudition and strong memory. Shen Yun finally understood these situations.
The Jiugong Mountain Sword Debate was a big competition proposed by the then head of the Gong family to martial arts masters all over the world four hundred years ago. After inheriting the throne, each head of the palace family will give up his original name and take the name of the palace. Jianghu people call Mr. Gongda.
In fact, the cause of Jiugong Mountain's sword discussion can be traced back to the Great Han Dynasty's holy war. With the military might of the Han Dynasty, the empire expanded its territory, and the people moved to Xinzhou, and the friction between the eastern martial arts and the western rivers and lakes inevitably occurred. After all, the army at the national level can only compete on the battlefield, and the contest in peacetime life can only depend on their respective means.
At the beginning of the Holy War, Han Shengzu realized that relying on the population and strength of the Han Dynasty at that time, even if the empire could conquer the territory, it would be difficult to actually control it, after all, the population of the Han people in the Western Regions was too small, and the assimilation of the Kangju, Yueshi, Guishan and other ethnic groups could not be effective in a short time. In order to actually control this land, it is inevitable to deal a blow to the local underground power. In the era of cold weapons, the various martial arts sects in the Han Dynasty became the target of the Han Shengzu.
To a certain extent, these martial arts sects are the earliest underworld/social organizations. Using the black organizations of the East to fight the black forces of the West can be regarded as the smartest choice of the Holy Ancestor. In order to cater to this strategy of the Holy Ancestor, the Gong family, who had become the strongest master of the Great Han River at that time, began to convene the Jiugong Mountain to discuss the sword, with the purpose of selecting several major forces to cooperate with the imperial army's occupation of the western land.
Out of the bad taste of the Han Shengzu, a traverser, he secretly ordered the palace family to select the top ten masters and nine major sects in the world in the Jiugong Mountain Sword Debate, and at the same time rank the rivers and lakes, so as to run through the black blow of the entire "Frontier Holy War".
After the first Jiugong Mountain Sword Debate, the Gong family won the first place with indisputable strength. The fact that the head of the Gong family is the leader of the martial arts alliance has also been recognized by all the Eastern martial arts. In addition, ten sects named by the Han Shengzu, such as Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, Diancang, Emei, Kunlun, Huashan, Taishan, Hengshan, and Hengshan, were also officially born, and under the leadership of the Gong family, they began to enter the land of the Western Regions and compete with the locals for various resources.
Since then, the Jiugong Mountain Sword Discussion has been held once every ten years, and various sects in the rivers and lakes have also risen, and various sect names have also emerged. For example, the Flower Shifting Palace, the Sea Shark Gang, the Songshan faction, and the Shinjuku faction are all available. Since the ranking of the Jiugong Mountain Sword can not only be recognized by the imperial court, but also obtain the right to operate the underground forces in the Western Regions, the internal battles within the various sects are becoming more and more intense. The importance of the sword of Jiugong Mountain is also increasing day by day! After all, things that have interests make people rush to them! The bloody wind and rain on the rivers and lakes caused by this is even more numerous, too many to mention!
After the Battle of the Caspian Sea between the Han and Rome, the territory of the Han Empire gradually stabilized. With this stability, various schools of Western civilization also began to penetrate into the East, such as the Caliph's Zoroastrianism and Illuminatis, Roman Christianity and the Templars, and Europe's Heliosianism, etc., all began to compete with the various sects of the Han Dynasty for resources. In the face of increasingly fierce competition, the Gong family once again relied on the Jiugong Mountain Sword to settle these disputes in general and divide the sphere of influence.
To some extent, the Jiugong Mountain Sword Debate has become an event like the "Olympic Games" in later generations, but it is more bloody. It's just more barbaric. After all, the pursuit of the Games is "higher, faster, stronger", and there are generally no fatalities. And Jiugongshan is a real sword and a real gun, and it is not uncommon to be killed and injured on the spot.
Western fighting techniques and Eastern martial arts routines also began to really clash at this time. However, due to the early start of the Oriental Martial Arts, when Jiugong Mountain discussed the sword, the ten major sects were always able to occupy a relatively large advantage. Among them, Shaolin and Wudang are among the best. Winning repeatedly. Except for the first-place Gong family, almost no one can shake their status. No one wants to challenge the status of the Gong family. After all, the Gong family does not participate in the competition for underground forces in the Western Regions. Only the nominal leader of the alliance.
But everything changes as it evolves. After three hundred years of development, there are also a large number of martial idiots who do not seek power and only seek the first place in the world in Jiugong Mountain. This kind of martial idiot exists in both the East and the West. Sanqingzi's ancestor Wuyazi Zhenren met the Western martial arts idiot at that time, Leo, the son of the sun who was the leader of the Sun God Sect, a Westerner who had just turned forty years old!
No matter from which point of view, Wuyazi should be sure to win. But Leo's martial arts seemed to have something else, and Wu Yazi was accidentally kicked in the chest and was seriously injured at that time. As the leader of the alliance, Gong Da has been challenged by three Western martial arts masters before this. was unable to organize, so that Wuyazi hated Jiugong Mountain.
Of course, now that it's just like this, Sanqingzi may not hate the Gong family too much. The most important thing is that Leo later challenged Gong Da, but was killed by Gong Da in three moves, which made the Wudang faction think that Gong Da had the strength to prevent Wu Yazi's fiasco, but he was unwilling to make a move. Therefore, the Wudang faction hated the Gong family. Sanqingzi was the most radical of them all, but he knew that he could not surpass the Gong family, so he had the act of traveling abroad to learn more intelligent martial arts.
Generally speaking, the Han Dynasty called these martial arts people who traveled abroad to learn martial arts "traveling scattered people" and issued customs clearance documents. These scattered people are one person and one horse, fighting the sword world, coming and going like the wind, helping the strong and hoeing the weak, and there is another name "ranger" that we are familiar with in the Han Dynasty!
But in fact, not all of these rangers are chivalrous. They have to travel the world, and many times they have to fight with people, killing people and drinking blood is common, and how many of these people are real chivalrous? It's more just a reckless and murderous executioner. It's just that they don't do this kind of thing in the Han Dynasty, and if they are outside, out of the mentality of the Chinese people, they will be infinitely beautified, so as to satisfy their yearning for this kind of life!
Sanqingzi actually didn't think about holding the "Olympia Mountain" sword debate in the early days, he always hoped to defeat Gong Da in the next Jiugong Mountain sword debate. However, with the eastward expansion of Roman power, the idea of holding such a sword meeting also germinated in the Roman Empire. Not to mention that there is no official support for the "Olympia" sword, and the ban is forbidden by chivalry, in any country and in any era, this kind of thing is actively controlled by the ruler. It was also a matter of course that the Roman Empire wanted to get involved.
Of course, Sanqingzi didn't realize that they had been manipulated by the Roman Empire, but they just wanted it but resented it.
……………………………… Dividing line ....................................
Knowing the ins and outs of these things, a trace of inspiration suddenly appeared in Shen Yun's mind, it seemed that there was something that could be done, but he couldn't figure out the specifics.
"When will the Olympia Sword Debate take place? Also, they said that if I go out with them for three days, I will be able to reach Mount Olympia in three days? Shen Yun asked suspiciously.
Ouyang Fu was helping Shen Yun rub his left shoulder, activating his blood, and gradually Shen Yun was able to move.
Bai Xiaosheng frowned and said: "This, since the subordinates became soldiers, they really know very little about these things on the rivers and lakes, and it is not clear when the sword discussion on Mount Olympia began, but the subordinates can check it." As for Mount Olympia, it will not be reached for three days, and it is in the northern Mediterranean Sea east of the Black Sea, which is now part of the Roman Empire. I'm going to go here, and it's about the same for three months! ”
"Then what do they mean that they want me to go with me for three days to witness what is the strongest?" Shen Yunqi said.
Bai Xiaosheng said: "I just listened to what Sanqingzi said, it seems that Leona, the hall master of the Roman Hades Palace, will be here in the past few days, and if she wants to participate in the 'Olympia Mountain' sword debate, it is impossible to pass the investigation of the hall master Leona. Maybe the three of them are going to see this person. ”
"How do you know?"
Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Master Hou, our Han's Jiugong Mountain Sword Discussion is also this process, do you think everyone who wants to participate can go?" The Feather Forest Secret Guard of our empire also has to be inspected first, otherwise any person can go there, and the Jiugong Mountain has already been trampled down! ”
Shen Yun understood, it turned out to be a qualifier. That's kind of interesting. (To be continued......)
