13. Recourse

The sky was dark, but the city of Luoyang was already lively.

There are three more days, which is the seventh hero meeting in the first month of July, the day of the opening of the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference, and the rivers and lakes in the city are naturally like crickets in a jar, and they are already a little unbearable.

However, today's excitement is different from the past.

The elders and disciples of the major sects who have arrived in Luoyang all got up early in the morning today, and with the breakfast sent by the Heluo Gang, they changed into the best clothes and went to the east gate of Luoyang.

Today is the day when Hao, the director of the Wulin League, arrives in Luoyang.

As early as yesterday, there was an envoy from Wulong Villa who sent the news to the Heluo Gang who hosted the Heroes Club, and Lei Ye naturally did not dare to slack off.

This news was not blocked, so the people in the rivers and lakes also knew that early this morning, the martial arts alliance leader would enter the city, and people who liked to watch the excitement or wanted to admire the demeanor of the martial arts alliance leader flocked to the city gate.

There is also an exaggeration, it was last night that the floor was laid outside the city gate, just to grab a good position.

This kind of worship and embrace of Ren Hao from the bottom of his heart has become more and more popular in the martial arts since the Battle of Luoyang and the expulsion of the Demon Sect in Xiaoxiang Huainan.

In the eyes of these Jianghu guests, the rivers and lakes are very distinct.

If you don't join the Demon Sect, you have to boast that you are a righteous person.

And as a person in the righteous path, seeing that the power of the righteous path is now shocking, and the demon sect that fights can't raise its head, it is the most beautiful time, so the martial arts alliance leader who leads the righteous path to do so is naturally the object of everyone's worship.

What's more, Ren Hao alone is very charismatic.

He loves and hates clearly, there is no room for sand in his eyes, he values the distinction between good and evil, tries his best to protect his own people, and shows no mercy to the enemy.

He is a banner.

A big banner swept in the righteous path martial arts.

As long as the banner does not fall, those in the right path will not lose their way.

Of course, not everyone will choose to join in the fun, there are too many people, what's the point of seeing Ren Hao in a sea of people?

Anyway, since the alliance leader has come to Luoyang, he will also appear when the Seven Heroes Meeting opens in early July.

"Huh"

Li Yijian, as in the past, jumped into the ring in the east of the city with brisk steps, and he arched his hand to He Wangchuan, an old man in Guanzhong who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, and said very respectfully:

"Uncle, I'm here again today."

"Go, go, come every day, you don't bother, the old man is annoyed."

Shen Qiupan sat in the ring, closed his eyes, and said in an irritable tone:

"The old man came to Luoyang to see the heroes of the world, and he didn't play with a few of your juniors, but after seven days, no one dared to come to discuss martial arts with the old man, which is really disappointing."

As soon as he said this, the crowd next to the ring burst into laughter.

A week ago, the mysterious Guanzhong old man He Lichuan appeared in the ring in the east of the city, and at the beginning, it really attracted a group of Jianghu guests to come to fight, but this old man lost more than a dozen masters in a row.

In the end, even the first place on the list was defeated by him.

Those disciples of the high-ranking sects came to challenge and fell one after another, and even had a draw with Dongfang Cedaxia, and the powerful seniors in the rivers and lakes held their own identities, and they would not end up fighting before the martial arts conference began.

This is nothing to win against an unknown old man in Guanzhong.

If you lose, you will lose your old face.

In this way, those who still dare to come to the east of the city to ring, except for some newcomers who have just come to Luoyang, are only Li Yijian, Director Dao, Jing Cangming and other stunned young people.

But there were a lot of onlookers.

Everyone likes to see famous people being knocked to the ground, but no one wants to experience a humiliating gesture in front of everyone.

In short, these days, Shen Qiu is very bored.

The ring is lively, but it's not challenging at all.

He also thought about whether to find Zhang Lan again, change his identity, and go to the ring of the White Horse Temple, or the Heluo Gang to take a turn in the ring, but think about it again, there are only four or five days left before the opening of the Heroes Meeting.

There's no need for it.

"My father-in-law's guidance in the past few days has made me improve my sword skills, so I naturally want to continue to learn from my father-in-law."

was scolded by the old man in Guanzhong, but Li Yijian smiled, with a skinless and faceless attitude, and the stunned young people in the audience were the same, coming every day, losing battles every day, but their martial arts have improved.

Isn't it just a bit of a shame, it doesn't matter.

"The old man is not a teacher waiting for you."

Shen Qiu whispered.

He opened his eyes and asked:

"Today, the martial arts alliance leader has entered the city, you see that the city is a little deserted, can't you wait to welcome Ren Hao?"

Li Yijian took a wooden knife from the knife holder, played a knife flower in his hand, and said to the old man in Guanzhong in front of him:

"In Xia Bucai, in Suzhou and Xiaoxiang, I have also met the alliance leader, and I am fortunate to have a few words with the alliance leader. The leader of the alliance is always very serious in front of everyone, and his speech is also calm and uninteresting.

When the alliance leader enters the city, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to have some connections and visit in private? ”

"Yo, you're still a relational."

Shen Qiu pursed his eyes and glanced at Li Yijian.

He looked at the sparse Jianghu guests under the stands again, touched his chin, and an idea came to his mind.

"Come here, the old man has something to say to you."

Shen Qiu beckoned to a few stunned young men who had come every day in the past few days, Li Yijian and Zhang Xiaohu, Yi Sheng, the five tigers in the river, and the Jiangnan guy who was on the twenty-fourth list.

It was the one who made the Tongjian Fist that day and was defeated by Shen Qiu's five moves.

After Shen Qiu's battle in Suzhou, he actually saw this honest young man, he was young, single-handed, and he stabbed fourteen demon sect people in the battle of Suzhou, so he became famous.

Li Yijian's trio also met Director Dao, who was already a "young hero" at that time, and the three of them were just rookies.

Now, the status of the two sides is basically close.

Director Dao This young man, born in Huainan, has no sect and no faction, and has practiced family martial arts since he was a child.

At the age of six, he began to practice martial arts, and at the age of nine he began to practice the family heirloom Tongjiquan, which is also an adventure, it is said that when he was 14 years old, in the mountains of Shaoxing, he encountered the strange white ape dancing sword, and he had quite a reward.

also realized a set of white ape moon sword.

In short, he is a character who is a perfect template for fists and swords, and he is very promising.

"You and the other five of you have come to disturb the old man every day for the past few days, so that the old man will not get tired of it."

Shen Qiu pounded his waist, grabbed the cigarette pot, took a puff of cigarette, followed the old man's example, and said in a babbling voice:

"Seeing that the seventh day of the seventh month of July is approaching, these rivers and lakes are scattered, and no one dares to challenge the old man anymore, hehe, how can the heart be so cowardly when walking the rivers and lakes?

The old man is already annoyed.

But I also said before that the old man would stay in this ring until the seventh day of the seventh month, so naturally he couldn't break his word. ”

He exhaled a puff of spicy smoke, and under his mask, he smiled and said to the five young people in front of him:

"You're a good five.

Every time he was knocked down by the old man's change of law, humiliated by the old man, and ridiculed by the people around him, he was not tempted, and he did not let go of his thoughts because of the humiliation of others.

We are also fated, and I will give you a task today. ”

He turned the cigarette pouch pot in his hand a few times, inserted it into his waist, put his hands behind his back, and really twisted his chin and beard like a dry little old man, and said to the five:

"You wait for the old man to defend the battle, and those scattered people in the province are afraid of the old man and dare not come to fight, are you willing?"

"Naturally, I am willing."

Among the five people, Yi Sheng, who has the best brain, was the first to jump out.

The guy frantically gave the others a look, and he said:

"This since ancient times, the people of the rivers and lakes have talked about a row of things, and such strange people as the old man in the rivers and lakes naturally have to have their own rows, and the old man will go to rest, and I will wait for the five people to make a precursor for the old man.

Just like the Nirvana Temple Bronze Man Array, if you want to fight against your father-in-law, you have to pass the level of five of me first! ”

Yi Sheng knew the meaning when he heard the strings, patted his chest and made a promise.

Shen Qiu snorted with satisfaction, and pretended to say:

"You wait for a good student to do it, if you do it well, after the end of this hero meeting, the old man will grant you a kung fu, the old man has learned a lot of miscellaneous in his life, fist, knife skills, swordsmanship, longitudinal, Qimen secret weapons, and imperial shooting spear skills.

It's like a treasure trove, when the time comes, how much you can take out from the old man depends on your ability to wait for the five people. ”

As soon as he said this, the five people in front of him were gearing up.

Three of these five people are their own people, and the remaining two have good temperaments, and in the past few days, Shen Qiu has also learned their complete martial arts from them.

Anyway, he will definitely not suffer.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, the old man will also go to this Luoyang city to relax and relax."

After the old man in Guanzhong finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe, and the long river walked out of the lonely smoke, his figure was like smoke in the wind, and he jumped up, and in a leap, he swept from the ring into the street behind him, and disappeared.

A moment later, in the White Horse Temple, Shen Qiu moved his body and walked out of Zhang Lan's house.

It's finally time to relax.

However, he asked Li Yijian and the five people to defend the ring, not just to rest and rest, but to have something important to do.

Shen Qiu stretched out his left hand and mobilized the true qi in his body.

A gray-black air flow swirled in the palm of his hand, looking evil.

"Life and death contract, get started."

He shook his hand, broke up the air current, and went to Xiao Tie's courtyard, his younger brother, who was practicing the Canghai Sword Technique, was naked, and his tendons and flesh were very fit.

There was still sweat flowing in the sun, and every sword swing was like a mountain cracking stone.

What's even more exaggerated is that there are two heavy iron lumps hanging on the Juque Sword, which makes the already heavy sword even heavier, which is boiling strength.

This kind of way that can easily damage the muscles and bones can only be used by a person like Xiao Tie who is born with divine power.

However, to Shen Qiu's surprise, in Xiao Tie's courtyard, there was also a girl sitting on the steps, watching Xiao Tie practice martial arts.

"Shiyin?"

Shen Qiu said in surprise:

"Why don't you stay at home, what are you doing here?"

"My father entertained Ren Hao at home, and there were many people at the banquet, which was very annoying, so I ran over to hide from Qingjing."

Lei Shiyin hugged her free-range chicken, looked away from Xiao Tie, and showed a sweet smile to Shen Qiu, saying:

"Brother Shen Qiu, if you don't go to the ring to play those Jianghu people, why did you run back again? Are you tired of playing? ”

Shen Qiu's gaze turned back and forth between Lei Shiyin and Xiao Tie a few times, and then said:

"It's a bit tired of it.

However, there is still something serious to find Xiao Tie, can Shiyin avoid it, you are a good boy, don't listen to such a fight. ”

"Okay, I'll go play with Qingqing and Xuanyu."

Miss Lei Shiyin stood up, patted the dust on her body, and let go of the chicken in her arms.

The crested eagle that she almost raised into a fat ball has now recovered, and has a bit of a bird of prey, but because of Lei Shiyin, who loves beauty, she has cut its feathers before, and now it is still a little difficult to fly.

It stood on Lei Shiyin's slender shoulders, with delicate chains on its paws, and obediently followed its master out of the yard.

This beast did not dare to run around alone.

Shen Qiu's shock, Xiao Tie's breaking waves, as well as Qingqing's wind and purple lightning, all preyed and soared near the White Horse Temple, and the fierce female eagle of the mountain ghost would occasionally come over to eat.

This poor disease-going beast, as long as it is away from Lei Shiyin's protection, will be bullied by several other crested eagles in turn.

If it can't fly for a day, it will be bullied for a day.

Alas, it is indeed pitiful for a good bird of prey to live like this.

"Xiao Tie, I'm not in the White Horse Temple these days, between you and the eldest lady of the Lei family..."

Shen Qiu asked meaningfully, with a man's unique ambiguous smile, and let Xiao Tie, who was dancing the sword, move out of shape, and the heavy sword in his hand smashed on the ground, shattering the bricks and stones.

A blush rose on the cheeks of the honest guy, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Qiu, embarrassed.

Under Shen Qiu's repeated questioning, he whispered:

"Lang Seng came a few days ago and told me something, saying that after the hero meeting, he would hold another competition for Shiyin to recruit relatives, and Lang Seng asked me to participate.

What else do you say, he and my father have already set up a marriage for me and Shiyin..."

"Nonsense!"

Shen Qiu snorted and said:

"That's a non-village matter, both of us are involved, where did he get the opportunity to talk to the enemy about your marriage?

However, your honest temperament is also compatible with Lei Shiyin's little fox, don't look at her now thin and small, but she is already charming, and when she grows up in the future, she is definitely a woman who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Xiao Tie, since ancient times, this has been a beauty with a hero, and you and her are indeed a good match.

Besides, you also know Lei Shiyin's life experience. ”

Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, gave Xiao Tie a meaningful look, and said:

"You have saved her by marrying her, and this is a good deed, but you are too young to be two years old..."

Xiao Tie was anxious by what Shen Qiu said, so he also sneered at each other and said:

"Big brother, you said it easily, so isn't Miss Yaoqin the same as you?

I didn't see my eldest brother go and marry Miss Yaoqin to save her life. What my eldest brother doesn't do, I don't do either! Isn't this taking advantage of people's danger! ”

Shen Qiu was sullen for a while.

This Xiao Tie, who has been playing with Zhang Lan for a long time, has also become a little sharp.

He waved his hand, stopped talking about it, and got down to business again.

Shen Qiu's face was serious, and he said to Xiao Tie:

"In the past few days, the person from the Western Regions I asked you to ask the beggar gang to find, is there any news?"

"Well, I've found it."

Xiao Tie put down Juque and said to Shen Qiu:

"In an inn in the west of the city, a group of people from the Western Regions gathered there, all of them were from the Western Regions, I asked Zhang Lan, and the beggar gang also checked their details, although they all had some inexplicable relationship with the Seven Peerless Sects.

But on the surface, they and the Demon Sect are not all the way, so Lei Ye can't prohibit them from participating in the Heroes Club, let alone drive them out of Luoyang. ”

"Hmm."

Shen Qiu nodded, he looked at the direction of the west of the city, and said:

"Tonight, I'll have to go and have a look. This situation is exactly the same as before the Suzhou War, I don't feel wrong, Luoyang City, there will be something big. ”
