Fifth, the long history (II)

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Zhu Tong feels that the Wanjiasheng Buddha is too powerful, and the establishment of the foundation has an advantage, which can publicize the ring competition with great fanfare, and attract the attention of martial arts masters hidden in the folk.

Wan Jiasheng Buddha really made a big fuss about this reason and made this ring match hot in the media. How many folk masters they have invited can only be known when they get into the ring.

Because of the generous bonuses, who can represent Jianghu Dao has gradually changed its taste. Of course, the candidates are the Snow Maniac Monk Master Kongxue of the First Rank Golden Buddha, the Fan Star Taoist of the Second Grade Dao Sect, and Qin Keqiang represents the Third Rank Blue Stone. The four-poinsettia is more troublesome, and it can only launch a veteran god hook Wang Han. Wupin Qingyang will not talk about it, of course it is impossible for people to send people out when they are standing on the side of the Buddha of the Wan Family now, even if they send someone, they will not believe it.

Liupin Meiyuan has never been known for its martial arts, and they did not send anyone to appear. Chenghu has been Zhuhuang for more than a year, and this time he officially stepped onto the stage of Jianghu Road on behalf of Qipin Zhumen. Liu Yilan was the only one to appear as the head of the house, although some advised her not to force it. Liu Yilan said that the eight-pin orchid has been low-key for a long time, and no matter what, she will take this opportunity to show her style.

The six of them are the natural candidates without objection, and the remaining three places are more troublesome.

According to the strength and personnel reserves, these three people can only be produced by the first-grade Golden Buddha and the second-grade Dao Sect, and both Master Empty Silence and Yu Xuan Zhenren hope to produce two more people. In the end, Qu Laoyi said that it is inappropriate to fight for this kind of thing, blushing and having a thick neck, not to mention affecting the unity of Jianghu Dao, and letting outsiders see jokes.

As a result, the Yipin Golden Buddha sent Master Wuxu.

The Second Rank Dao Sect unexpectedly gave up the quota to Shen Shixuan, and the Jade Girl sent Liu Chen as a representative.

Qu Laoyi selected a young man named Cookie from his subordinate Yuxi Xiaoyao Valley and occupied the last place.

"Are you alright?" Qin Keqiang seems to be in good shape; The spirit is complete, and the eyes are introverted.

In order to cope with this ring match, nine players who appeared on behalf of Jianghu Road, Suzhou Zhou Banweng conducted two weeks of closed training.

"I'm a cat and have nine lives. It's not easy for me to die. Zhu Tong laughed at himself, and then said: "Brother Qin is in a very good state today, and he should be able to win and win the ring." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Qin Keqiang smiled honestly; "I heard that people have also invited a lot of masters, and Banweng has seen two seniors; Let's hope there aren't too many surprises. ”

Zhu Tong smiled: "Interesting, what powerful characters have been invited by the Ten Thousand Family Buddhas to make Brother Qin so nervous?" ”

"Not counting the big thief Su Qi and Snake Jun Mapi, they have invited at least three masters. Shan Village, the descendant of Xingyimen in the north, Zhang Zonghui of Eagle Claw Gate, and Cai Jiaxi, a famous Wing Chun in the south, are not easy to deal with. There is another one you should be familiar with, Han Wang of **Zong; How deep is he? ”

"Han Wang?" It's Han Fatzi, how could he vote for the Wanjiasheng Buddha?

A sense of frustration welled up in Zhu Tong's heart. He originally planned to pull the six sects into the Zhumen, but he was so busy and dizzy recently that he couldn't take care of Han Fatzi at all.

In Nanhai Palace, Zhu Tong has promised to build private aromatherapy rooms for many members. He always wanted to find time to have a deep conversation with Han Fatzi and ask him to withdraw from the Ocean Hospital to set up a construction company.

In addition, once Fuhua Shipbuilding is launched, there are a large number of projects to be contracted by the other party, which is also a way to make money.

For now, forget it. Maybe this is a good thing, for the sake of hundreds of thousands of bonuses, Han Fatzi even threw himself to Zhu Tong's opponent without greeting him. If such a person enters the Zhumen, sooner or later he will be a scourge. People who love money too much are really hard to believe.

"Brother Qin doesn't have to worry about him, the kung fu of the ** sect is already biased towards foreign sects, and he has to work hard every day; Han Fatzi's apprentice may still have a little bit to look at, he has been in Shanghai all these years, and now his kung fu of making money and playing with women may be more profound than that of ** Zong. ”

As he spoke, the business car drove out of Shanghai, and soon after, Qin Keqiang suddenly stopped.

Fan Xing Taoist stood on the side of the road in a green shirt, and he was the only Jianghu Taoist player who did not participate in closed training.

After only a little more than a month of separation, Fan Xing looked very different, his eyes were like the Big Dipper in the night sky, shining and exuding a strange demeanor.

When Baili Xiao saw the Fan Xing Daoist, he was immediately impressed and sighed: "Sure enough, the name is well deserved." ”

Fan Xing didn't care at all, arched his hand, and looked at Zhu Tong: "Senior Brother Zhu's complexion is very bad." Recently, I found a cold spring where my master made wine, and I made a medicine. As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube from his arms.

Zhu Tong took the bamboo tube, opened the stopper and sniffed it; Inside is medicinal liquor.

He took a sip, and a cool breath entered his stomach, turning into a warm current in the blink of an eye, nourishing the meridians he had just recovered.

"Brother Xie Dao is worried." Zhu Tong closed the stopper.

Such an elixir needs to be used in a quiet environment, and after drinking it, you must immediately start practicing Peng Ma Gong. Drink it now, it's too wasteful.

There is a good scenery full of vitality around the water towns, and many citizens can be seen coming out to step on spring along the way.

At half past eight, the business car drove into the gate of the water town.

There were two rows of young disciples of Jianghu Dao gathered at the door, and they were responsible for inspecting the invitations.

If you don't have an invitation, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu don't want to enter the water town.

Along the winding asphalt road in the woods, there is another checkpoint, in front of which cars are not allowed to enter, and the guests' belongings must be strictly checked, cameras and cameras are not allowed to enter, and even mobile phones with similar functions are politely retained.

Zhu Tong and his entourage got out of the car, and a Shiqimen disciple came over and drove to the parking lot. Walk a few hundred meters before the ring race site.

The artificial lake of the water village is arranged as an open-air stage.

In the middle is a large ring made of thick logs, which is more than half a zhang high and ten zhang long and wide. The countertop is covered with a thick felt cloth, which is divided into red and blue colors.

Eighteen wooden pillars the size of buckets stand around the ring, which is the list of heroes. The names of the nine players on each side of the competition are hung on the pillars, covered with red and blue satin, and no one knows the opponent's arrangement without opening the satin.

On the winning side, the name plate will be raised to the top of the wooden pillar; The loser will stay put. Such a setting is very in line with the rules of the classical Jianghu ring competition.

Also according to tradition, another high platform was erected on the north side of the tower, on which five Taishi chairs were set up, which was the referee's seat. On the east and west sides, there are two slightly lower platforms, and there are more seats arranged on them, each with eighteen seats. This is the observation seat for both sides of the match.

Otherwise, there will be no seats.

To the south of the ring is an open field, where guests who are invited to watch the ceremony can only stand and watch the battle in the ring. It's not good to stand close, and you can't see the scene in the ring; This setting is for fear that the contestants will accidentally injure ordinary people.

Having money can really make the ghost grind.

A month ago, it was an open lot; Now, it has become a green meadow.

Tired of stepping on the soft meadows, guests can also grab a variety of drinks and exquisite food at the surrounding bars, dining stations and barbecue stalls. If you want to sit down and rest, you can only go to the painting boat docked by the artificial lake. From there, it is not clear what is happening in the ring.

In Zhu Tong's view, this is not so much the scene of the ring match as an open-air party. Although it is a little simple, it is very much in line with the harmony of nature.

The ring was scheduled to start at ten o'clock, and it was not yet nine o'clock, with only two dozen guests on the lawn. In fact, only 300 invitations were sent out today. Some of them are martial arts families with a background in rivers and lakes, and some are personal friends of Wan Jiasheng Buddha and Qu Laoyi.

There are also about 100 places, reserved for influential business elites in Shanghai and even in the country. For example, the invitation to Heishi Matsui occupies such a place.

On this side of Jianghu Road, the observation seat is based on red, and it is already empty, and several people are chatting offstage.

It was the old liar and Mei Lao accompanying Zhou Banweng.

Zhu Tong followed Qin Keqiang and Fanxing Daoist over to say hello, and the old man looked at them with a smile, twisted his beard and said, "Junyan, although Jianghu Dao has been silent for many years, with your group of juniors, we can rest assured." ”

Anyone can see that Zhou Banweng admires Qin Keqiang the most. His eyes only glanced at Zhu Tong for a moment, and he didn't say much to the Fan Xing Daoist, just took Qin Keqiang's hand and Yin Yin told him the precautions in the ring.

The old liar pulled up Zhu Tong, carefully checked the pulse, and said, "You, sooner or later, throw this life into the Huangpu River." Your family Yu Lan has come to Shanghai, do you know? ”

"I heard." Zhu Tong replied sullenly.

He suddenly felt a little excited.

Jianghu Road, originally full of internal contradictions, was a plate of loose sand that calculated and defended each other; After more than a year of tossing, it has shown a rising trend of unity and prosperity.

Mei Lao was more interested in the Fan Xing Daoist, and pulled him aside to speak. Zhu Tong found an opportunity to introduce Baili Xiao to Zhou Banweng, which was something he had already promised, and he hid to the side to bask in the sun.

A group of monks approached, their bright yellow robes striking in the spring sun.

The Master of Empty Silence has arrived, and beside him is the Master of Boredom and the Master of Nowhere to Preside of the Fuxian Temple; The Snow Mad Monk and the Voidless Master were behind them.

It's another round of greetings, Zhu Tong and the snow mad monk have nothing to say, and the boring master is more willing to please Zhou Banweng. The Master of Void and the Master of Nowhere came to him.

This is the second time that Zhu Tong has met Master Wuxu, and the first time in the Tianwang Temple in Phoenix City, Master Wuxu led people to the dojo where he kicked Zhumen. Later, Master Wuxu seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news of him on the rivers and lakes.

Zhu Tong found that Wuxu's complexion had changed a lot. It used to be red, but now it's a very peaceful pale yellow; There is a faint glint between the skin, which is a sign of great achievement.

"Congratulations to Master Wuxu." Zhu Tong praised: "The Golden Buddha Temple has another pillar. ”

Both the stars and the old liar have seen that the current Wuxu may be more clever than the Snow Madman.

Wuxu is very modest and said: "Amitabha, Wuxu has this blessing, which is the cause and effect of the enlightenment of the predecessors of the blessing door." Wuxu went out this time, and wanted to visit the old man again, and trouble the senior brother to introduce him to Wuxu. ”

Those who have the ability should be respected, Zhu Tong said: "I wish Uncle Huang will come in a while." ”

"Good and good, so blessed is nothing." Nowhere there is a glint of joy in the eyes, which is a pleasure from the heart, without the slightest hypocrisy or artificiality.

The people of the Taoist Sect also arrived.

Yu Xuan Zhenren came slowly accompanied by the two elders of Fan Xindao and Shui Huo. [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
