In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month.

This is the opening day of the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference, also known as the Heroes Club, the entire Heluo Gang and the Beggar Gang have been preparing for this for many months, and the people in the city, and those Jianghu characters, are also looking forward to it.

An incident has been publicized for several months, and there are beggars all over the world to help the public, so that the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference, which was held for the first time in the Luoyang area, really has a bit of the atmosphere of the world's martial arts conference.

Of course, whether it is the number or quality, it is difficult for the Heroes Club to compare with the ten-year Jianghu Martial Arts Conference.

But such a major event in this river and lake is also very rare, as long as it is okay, they are willing to come over to cheer and join in the fun, not to mention, this time there is also the participation of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

It can be regarded as an official recognition of the "gold content" of this hero meeting.

In the future, as long as the Heluo Gang is still there, this is set as the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference once every five years, and it is estimated that it will become a practice to continue.

Since then, there has been one more event.

It's a great thing.

On the morning of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the whole Luoyang was boiling, and the guests of the rivers and lakes changed into the best clothes, wiped the blades brightly, and some of them were more particular, and they also went to fix their hair.

Of course, it is not as attentive as Mr. Tony's service, but it is still okay to spread out the perennial hairband, wash your hair, and use some soap.

In Luoyang City, the school field of the Heluo Gang is the venue of the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference, and the Heluo Gang has invited Mo family craftsmen to triple the size of this school field in the past few months.

Bluestone bricks were also laid, and a boxy ring was raised in the center of the school field.

There are also rest areas for their respective sects around them, which is suggested by Shen Qiu, and behind the rest area, a large amount of open space is also set aside for the scattered people of the rivers and lakes who have no sects.

There are wooden stairs erected in all directions around, like the stepped classroom in Shen Qiu's hometown, layer by layer, just for people watching the excitement to sit.

As for being so far away, whether you can see the exquisite kung fu of the knights, then it is not something that the Heluo Gang needs to consider.

From the four directions of Luoyang City, on the way to the main altar of the Heluo Gang, there are boxers of the Heluo Gang standing beside them to guide the way, each of them is carefully selected, with big shoulders and round waists, wearing black uniforms, with a chest and abdomen.

It's quite imposing.

The people around were pointed by the gang to the main altar schoolyard, this large open space is close to the city wall, it is easy to identify, and the four doors are wide open, leading everyone into the school field.

In all directions of the ring, the flags of various sects were planted.

In this way, people will be able to find their place very quickly.

The closest to the ring is naturally the location of the five major decent sects, or the first-class forces in various places, and the second and third rates are a little behind, and these directions are also exquisite.

You can't put sects with blood feuds together.

It is broadly divided by geography, with slight adjustments.

Needless to say, none of this is needed.

In the north of the school field, there is also a raised platform, on which there is a row of chairs, the most central chair is the most luxurious atmosphere, made of rosewood, carved phoenix, behind the chair there is the banner of Wulong Villa swaying.

That's for Ren Hao.

Next to the alliance leader, there are the banners of the Heluo Gang and the Beggar Gang, as the organizers, Lei Ye and Zhang Tugou sat next to the alliance leader, and on both sides, it was made for the elders and heads of the main sect.

These days are summer, and it is naturally very hot at noon, and the Heluo Gang has also built a pergola for the school field.

This action, this hand, and this bearing made the Jianghu guests who walked into the majestic campus couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

It's nice to be rich.

This Heluo Gang started its own business, with countless goods in its hands, and even held a grand event in the rivers and lakes, they are so ranked, some of them have a lot of knowledge, and they will talk to the people around them about the Jianghu Martial Arts Conference five years ago.

said that the genuine martial arts conference was not as grand as the hero of the Heluo Gang.

"They seem to be very satisfied."

At the back of the school grounds, on a second-floor wing, Qingqing put down the cylinder in his hand, this thing is the "clairvoyant mirror" made by the Mo family,

Because it is a hassle to polish lenses, these things are still a luxury today, although they were available a hundred years ago.

Qingqing also got the financial help of a rich lady like Lei Shiyin, so she bought a few from Luoyang Tianji Pavilion and gave them to her good friends.

She is not from the rivers and lakes, so naturally she can't participate in the martial arts conference, this will be with Lei Shiyin, Yaoqin, Xuanyu, and Zhang Lan's four beauties, staying in this tightly protected room and enjoying the martial arts conference.

"Lei Ye's hand is really wonderful."

Qingqing said with emotion:

"As soon as I made a move, the people in the rivers and lakes were shocked, I heard a few days ago that many shy people in the rivers and lakes wanted to go to the Heluo Gang.

Before this martial arts conference started, Lei Ye and Lang Seng had already dug a lot of corners. ”

"That's it."

Lei Shiyin held her free-range chicken, she stood beside Qingqing, and also grabbed a clairvoyant mirror to look at it, she said:

"Daddy has spent all the savings of the Heluo Gang in the past five years for this martial arts event, and all the wealthy businessmen have complained, if it weren't for Sister Yaoqin's Falling Moon Merchant Workshop to support one or two, this event, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so beautiful."

"I have earned back more than half of the money I spent."

Yaoqin didn't like the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so she didn't go to join in the fun, she sat on a chair in the room, held a beauty fan in her hand, and said while adjusting the strings in front of her:

"According to what I found when I looked at the account book, when the martial arts conference is over, the money I spent in the Moon Merchant Workshop will not only be able to return to the capital, but also make more money.

My uncle was indeed a good businessman, and he knew how to do business.

I'm going to learn a little more from him. ”

"Haha, your Central Plains martial arts conference is really interesting!"

The most moving Xuanyu is sitting on the windowsill, holding a clairvoyant in his hand and looking at it, with a toad lying on his shoulder, and the sun is shining down, emitting a little light on the toad's skin.

It's good-looking.

This little Xuanyu came to Luoyang, and got acquainted with Lei Shiyin again, so he changed into Lei Shiyin's clothes and dressed up like a real Central Plains girl.

"I saw Shen Qiu."

Xiao Xuanyu grabbed the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it in the pile of areas where the rivers and lakes were scattered, and she said to Qingqing and Lei Shiyin beside her:

"And Xiao Tie's stupid big man, alas, Brother Zhang Lan is still locked up in the White Horse Temple, he likes to be lively the most."

"I saw you running to Zhang Lan's house in the middle of the night yesterday."

Qingqing grabbed the clairvoyant mirror, looking for her senior brother, she suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Are you with Zhang Lan's goods... That's it? ”

"Oops, don't talk nonsense!"

Although Xuanyu is a Miaojiang woman, she doesn't care much about the defense of men and women, but she is still very shy about this kind of thing.

She blushed and said to Qingqing:

"Just ask Brother Zhang Lan to draw me a few Danqing paintings."

"Oh~"

Qingqing elongated her voice.

She knew what Zhang Lan was best at drawing, which made her look at the Xuanyu in her eyes and become weird, obviously as big, this Xuanyu was very open.

The Miaojiang woman is really extraordinary.

"Just paint the face! I didn't draw the body! ”

When Xuanyu saw Qingqing's eyes, she knew that she was thinking too much, and immediately reached out to grab Qingqing's hair in annoyance, but Qingqing hid with a smile.

The laughter of the girls upstairs came downstairs, and the monk who was preparing for the opening also smiled, turned the Buddhist beads, and continued to tell Heluo to help people hurry up and make some preparations.

As soon as noon arrives, the hero's meeting will officially begin.

It took half a year to prepare for this moment, but there must be no chaos.

At this time, Shen Qiu was in the crowd of scattered people in the rivers and lakes.

Because he is a master of the land list, he naturally has a seat for him, unlike other Jianghu scattered people, who have to bring their own small Mazha or borrow some chairs from the Heluo Gang.

Shen Qiu sat in the first row of the crowd, with a knife box in his hand, and he himself was wearing a hat and a black gauze jacket, dressed in a classic fashion.

Xiao Tie sat beside him.

Now Xiao Tie is also a master of the human list, so he naturally has a chair to sit on, and the giant sword box he put in his hand has really attracted a lot of attention, and the crowd behind him whispered.

Some people don't know Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie, and the people next to him will explain a thing or two to him.

What the Battle of Suzhou, the line of Liaodong, the bloody battle of Jinan Long Street, etc.

But they didn't say anything about Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie's really thrilling experience.

"It's really a martial arts event."

Beside Shen Qiu, Yang Fu, the bearded Yin Yang Dragon Sword, also wore a hat to block the sun, he had rarely been out of Jinan before, and it was the first time he participated in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

More than 3,000 people were crowded into this school field, but there was not much chaos.

There are still some Luoyang natives waiting around, and there are big flags everywhere, which really feels like stirring up the wind and clouds.

"The rivers and lakes are really big."

Yang Fu looked at the flagpole by flagpole, and every flag represented a force, with hundreds of flags fluttering, representing the people in the martial arts in the north and south of the world.

He couldn't help but sigh.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he chuckled lightly and said:

"Yes, this river and lake is too big, and when we walk in the rivers and lakes, we will always ignore how many people are like us in this world.

Only by chance and when we get together, will everyone know how big this martial arts river and lake is.

We are also a drop of water in the ocean, no matter how high our martial arts are, it is not very conspicuous to melt into the martial arts of this world. Always clouds cover the eyes, just a leopard in the tube, and a blind man touching an elephant. ”

He looked at the raised platform at the back of the school yard, and the dozen or so chairs placed on it, the most atmospheric of the chairs, and said:

"Only by standing at the top of the rivers and lakes can we have a glimpse of the world."

"Brother Shen said it well!"

Yang Fu gave a thumbs up, waved, patted his knees, and said with emotion:

"This trip to Luoyang is really not in vain, I will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, take a good look at the martial arts in the world, and then discuss martial arts with Brother Shen when the sword technique is completed."

"Waiting for you at any time."

Shen Qiu laughed.

At this time, Xiao Tie next to him asked again:

"Why don't you see Li Yijian and his companions, doesn't he like such lively things the most? Didn't you go home to accompany your mother? ”

"Yijian has another chance."

Shen Qiu shook his head and said:

"Lei Ye has no one in his own gang who can do it, so he can't let Lang Seng take action for the Heluo Gang, right? He invited me to help in the battle, but when I declined, he wanted to find someone else.

I heard him say yesterday that the three of them had agreed to the invitation of the Heluo Gang to participate in this hero meeting for the Heluo Gang. ”

"The three of them?"

Xiao Tie touched the short stubble and said:

"It's a bit of a hanging, isn't it?"

"Of course it's not just them, Lei Ye also invited Li Baoguo, that person is the first on the list, and his marksmanship is perfect, and he said that it is not possible to defeat the young people in the rivers and lakes, but it is easy to get a good ranking."

Shen Qiu explained:

"A few days ago, Lei Ye and the alliance leader have already said that this time the heroes will be younger, and only in the next few days, there will be seniors in the rivers and lakes to compete.

In the future, the Heroes Club will be held once every five years, which is mainly reserved for the younger generation, and the Jianghu Martial Arts Conference is a gathering of masters from all walks of life.

This is actually a good thing, so as not to let the masters take a casual move and steal the limelight from young people. ”

This is said in an old-fashioned manner, just like Shen Qiu, who is also a member of those predecessors in the rivers and lakes.

Yang Fu beside him had a strange look in his eyes.

This Brother Shen, he hasn't reached the weak crown yet, right?

How can you speak, it's about the same as the year of stability?

But when I talked to him, I really had a feeling of being an equal, and he had a beard, so he looked very old, but there was no sense of abruptness.

A crowd of people was waiting for the opening at noon.

Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie were talking, he suddenly looked back, as if he felt something, as if someone in the crowd was staring at him, but looking back, there was no one worth paying attention to in the crowd of people chattering behind him.

Shen Qiu frowned, but didn't say much.

He got up, picked up the knife case, crossed the crowd, and went to the rear, as if he was going to go to the latrine, but after passing the crowd, he suddenly turned again, and walked along the root of the wall for more than a dozen feet, to an alley on the edge of the school field.

There was someone waiting for him.

"I thought you hadn't seen the letter I left."

Shen Qiu crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and while observing the pedestrians around him, he said to the slender figure in the red dress in front of him in the noisy voice in his ears:

"Now it seems that your bodyguard is really doing his duty, and you will go wherever Xuanyu goes."

"It's a pity that I can't enter the White Horse Temple."

Shen Lan, who was wearing a red dress and a light veil, with her head crossed, said in a leisurely voice:

"The mustard monk is strong in martial arts, the little woman thinks that she is not an opponent, this Nirvana Temple monk, and heavy defense, if you really want to fight, the little woman's life will be lost in Luoyang.

It's just that Xuanyu and Zhang Lan are together, and the concubine is not too worried. ”

"Xuanyu went to Zhang Lan's room last night."

Shen Qiu said:

"Aren't you afraid, those two young people who are in love with each other can't bear the lust in their hearts and do something unscrupulous?"

"Concubines are not afraid."

Shen Lan chuckled and said:

"You lent Zhang Lan ten guts, and he didn't dare to touch Xuanyu. Okay, don't talk about this, the concubine doesn't like to be lively now, Shen Daxia has something to do, just say it. ”

"There are people from the Five Elements Gate in Luoyang City, and Qu Xie may also be among them."

Shen Qiu didn't beat around the bush either, he said:

"I want you to get them out and kill them if you can!"

"Qu Xie is not in the city, at least not now. Also, why are you looking for a concubine for this? ”

Shen Lan raised her fingers, there were black gauze gloves on her hands, hollow and carved, very delicate and beautiful.

She reached out and brushed the hair from the side of her face, and said:

"The concubine thought, since Shen Daxia has a relationship with Ren Hao, there are still many people who can be used at hand, right? Or does Shen Daxia trust the concubine to the extent that he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility? ”

"Don't think about it, Shen Lan."

Shen Qiu smiled and said:

"The reason for looking for you is very simple, only the same kind can find the same kind, Uncle Ren's subordinates are loyal and fearless, but let them do this, I am afraid that they will startle the snake.

Anyway, the Demon Sect is making trouble in Luoyang, and Xiao Xuanyu is also in danger.

That's what you do, right? ”

Shen Lan looked at Shen Qiu calmly, and after a few breaths, she said:

"Hanging red kills, you have to pay."

"Huh"

A copper plate flew out of Shen Qiu's hand and was taken by Shen Lan in his hand.

"Is that enough?"

Shen Qiu asked.

"Shen Daxia is so generous, of course it's enough."

Shen Lan held the copper plate, chuckled, turned around and started, and the red skirt swayed, and disappeared into the alley.

Many times, some people suddenly remember that when they want to do something that they have wanted to do for a long time, but have been delayed, they need to reactivate the silent passion in their hearts, what they need...

It's often just a valid reason.

Now, Shen Qiu gave her a reason.

"Bang, bang, bang"

A low drum beat sounded from behind Shen Qiu, and he looked back.

The Central Plains Martial Arts Heroes Club is about to begin.
