【044】Inside the Lingwu Gate
The compound of Lingwumen is located on the most prosperous street in Xiangyang City, which looks more like a martial arts hall, covering a very vast area, and the left neighbor of Hanshui passing through the city, whether it is water and land transportation is very convenient.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, dusk was approaching.
At this time, the Lingwu Sect was feasting guests, and it was not a refusal to come to the martial arts people.
Qi Chuanxiong, the owner of the Lingmen Gate, spent hundreds of thousands of taels to invite the banquet arranged by the most famous restaurant in Xiangyang City, and at the same time invited the famous opera troupe and Hualou Kabuki in the city.
Qi Chuanxiong was extremely excited at this time, the sect that he had been operating for decades had never had this moment of scenery, with the support of the Baidao Great Sect Changkong Zhaojianmen and the powerful Xianlong Cave of both white and black, they jointly distributed the "Unknown Hero Post" and jointly crusaded against the "Barren Mountain and Wild Elder" Mo Yeli.
The so-called "Unsung Hero Post" is a document called for the initiative, which does not specify the martial arts people invited, as long as they have a heart, everyone can come here.
This Qi Chuanxiong master is rich and wealthy, has a wide range of contacts, and is good at martial arts, and he is definitely a strong and famous party in the local area, but in fact, he has no great power in the entire martial arts, nor is he a respected predecessor, and he originally couldn't invite so many heroes and heroes.
But at the end of the text, the name of Changkong Zhaojianmen and Xianlong Cave is extremely remarkable, one is the first major faction of Yunzhou Baidao, and the other is the black and white all-encompassing Gaishiqiang Gate, as soon as these two factions came forward, they attracted a large number of martial arts people to come to the meeting. There are important figures in these two schools here. The prodigal warriors who wander the rivers and lakes are all trying their best to come and make friends. Even if you are looked down upon. I can't remember, at least I know what people look like, what they say like, and I can brag to others about my knowledge in the future.
And the most important point is that behind this accident on the rivers and lakes at this time, there is news about the "Bronze Dragon Tower", one of the "Five Great Treasures of Martial Arts".
No matter where this news comes from, it is enough to cause a sensation in the rivers and lakes, and it is very likely that the threshold of the Lingwu Gate will be broken.
Qi Chuanxiong in addition to himself. He also let his three sons and the two deputy masters who had reached the innate realm in the door all busy together, greeting guests inside and out, and every time a martial arts celebrity arrived, Qi Chuanxiong would inevitably greet him in person, and he would make enough face.
At the same time, Qi Chuanxiong is also quite good at looking at people's eyes, at this time, in the secret room behind the Ming Hall, several people with absolute fame in the Changkong Zhaojian Gate and the Immortal Dragon Cave are secretly discussing important matters, although he is also one of the conveners, but he is limited by his identity. It's not easy to have such a scene, those higher-level secrets. I don't dare to participate in it.
Among the people who came this time, especially those people, their names are really ......
As long as he announces the names of these people at the conference for a while, he will ensure that his Lingwu Sect's identity and status will be very different in an instant.
Qi Chuanxiong completely regarded this time as an opportunity to make his Lingwumen famous in the world, and spared no effort to do things, at this time, his subordinates rushed to report, and there were well-known martial arts people visiting, Qi Chuanxiong hurriedly apologized to a few distinguished guests, and got up again to greet him.
"Who is this time?"
Qi Chuanxiong asked as he hurried.
The apprentice who conveyed the news said nervously and excitedly: "Master, this time it is Mo Dafeng, the owner of the branch building of Tsing Yi Building, which belongs to Xiangyang City, and Liang Zhen, the deputy owner of the building, who are led by a group of wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan. "Oh, it's from Tsing Yi Lou!?"
Qi Chuanxiong really felt that his breath stopped at this time, he didn't expect that the conference he convened could attract the attention of "Tsing Yi Lou", one of the "Ten Great Sects", which was really happy from the sky.
The disciple continued: "Master, speaking of that rich businessman is really magnificent, not only does he have two terrifying bodyguards, but even the four big beauties around him are extremely enviable!"
Qi Chuanxiong immediately shouted: "You stop me, in the public, how can you keep an eye on other people's female families, even if you are beautiful, you must maintain your demeanor, don't lose the face of my Lingwumen, if you kid makes a fool of yourself again, I will abolish your martial arts and drive you out!"
The disciple was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Hurry up, lead the way!" Qi Chuanxiong reprimanded his disciple, but he couldn't hide his eyebrows, and at the same time shouted at several equally excited sons and deputy sect masters: "You guys, hurry up and tidy up your clothes, don't lose the face of our Lingwu Sect in front of the Great Gate Sect!"
When a few people hurriedly came to the gate, there were already subordinates leading the "cloak staff" Mo Dafeng and a group of people came over hula, before the people approached, Qi Chuanxionglang's laughter had already been heard, and he said loudly: "Little brother Qi Chuanxiong welcomes the Lord of Tsing Yi Lou Mo Lou to watch the visit, there is a long way to welcome, forgive the sins!"
Mo Dafeng, who was holding a strange ironwood cane, was of medium height, his face was like charcoal, and his chest-length beard was washed like Guan Gong's roots, all of them were breathable, and they were also full of etiquette for the Jianghu people, and Liang Zhenchao, the deputy owner of the "cross sword", bowed his hand to the front and said: "Where, where, the master of Qi said that he laughed, to be able to participate in such a righteous act, it should be the mission of my generation of Jianghu people, and the master of the door must not be polite." Come on, come here, this time with you, there is also the family of Brother Qian, a giant businessman in Jiangnan, allow me to introduce one or two ...... for the master of Qimen."
Qi Chuanxiong is not interested in such a private rich businessman, after all, such a rich businessman will not lightly do business with a small sect like himself, mainly to welcome the people of Tsing Yi Lou, but in order to close the relationship with Mo Dafeng, he naturally spares no effort to show goodwill.
However, when it came time to introduce the rich businessman behind him, the chubby rich businessman was not surprised, but he was shocked by the four peerless beauties behind him.
At this time, he finally understood why his disciple specifically mentioned these four beauties, these four people have their own temperaments, each of them is the best in the world, whether it is mature charm, shy temperament, sassy heroic posture, or innocent and romantic interracial customs...... It's enough to move every man.
Fortunately, Qi Chuanxiong can be regarded as shrewd and sophisticated, but after losing his mind for a moment, he immediately returned to normal. Suppress the rapid heartbeat in your heart. Say hello to this rich merchant one by one.
This group of people is naturally Xu Zhengyi and his party who are passing through here. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I heard that such a serious martial arts accident happened here, so I asked the two stewards of the Tsing Yi Building to take a look at it.
Xu Zhengyi and his wife have always been low-key, so there are definitely not many people on the rivers and lakes who can know his true face, so they are directly used to making up a name, and they are not afraid of being recognized.
Xu Zhengyi didn't care about Qi Chuanxiong's sudden loss of consciousness, and he saw so many beauties. He didn't speak, and his concentration was already good, and he smiled and said, "Qian has disturbed the Qi Sect Master." This time, the brother was just in Xiangyang City and Tsing Yi Lou Mo Building owner to talk about a small business, heard that there was this event, I was curious, although Qian Mou because of business traveled all over the world, but really never saw such a huge martial arts event, I specially let the Mo Lou Lord bring a visit or two, there are many disturbing places, and I hope that the Lord of Qi Gate will forgive his sins!"
Qi Chuanxiong laughed and said, "Where, Brother Qian is willing to come." Please, please!"
Qi Chuanxiong led the way forward. The eldest son Qi Yunfei, who had already changed his face behind him, deliberately pulled the corner of Qi Chuanxiong's clothes, Qi Chuanxiong's mind moved, two steps behind, Qi Yunfei stepped forward with his ear, and whispered a simple description of what he had encountered in the restaurant before, Qi Chuanxiong's face changed a few times in an instant, and finally said in a deep voice: "The person who came is a distinguished guest, you are not allowed to act rashly." ”
Qi Yunfei solemnly agreed.
He didn't expect that this group of people would have such a deep relationship with Tsing Yi Lou, but fortunately, it was only Shentu Batian who committed the trouble at that time, and his subordinates did not make any improper moves because of the murderous spirit of the other party, and the relationship was not irreparable.
Qi Chuanxiong respectfully led the group of Tsing Yi Lou to the direction of Mingtang, where there were some famous martial arts houses, and their status was not the same as that of the idle warriors outside.
It's just that before he arrived at the door, the fat businessman surnamed Qian suddenly stopped and said: "I'm sorry, Qian prefers the excitement outside, and the martial arts hero Qian inside doesn't know him, and it's embarrassing to go, so it's better for our family to be outside here." ”
"This ......"
Qi Chuanxiong suddenly fell into a dilemma, and looked at Mo Dafeng in Tsing Yi Building with some embarrassment.
Mo Dafeng smiled and said respectfully: "Since Brother Qian likes it, then so be it." I don't know if the master of Qi can be accommodating......"
"Where, where, I'm just afraid that Brother Qian will be noisy outside......"
"It's good to be lively!"
"So...... That's fine. Come on!" Qi Chuanxiong summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Set up a banquet in the flower gallery next to this, send disciples to guard Brother Qian's family, don't let the ignorant people harass!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Qi Chuanxiong said goodbye and led Mo Dafeng and Liang Zhen into the Ming Hall, and being able to have nothing to do with this businessman surnamed Qian who didn't know his origin but had a deep background also made Qi Chuanxiong secretly relieved.
Xu Zhengyi immediately led everyone to the empty side of the flower gallery.
As soon as Qi Chuanxiong left, Lan Ya in the team spoke: "Have you seen it, that Qi Yunfei's face turned blue when he saw us just now, and he thought that we came to find fault...... Hmph, I'm really angry, if I depend on me, I will definitely burn his manor clean!"
Everyone was amused and giggled, Lu Qiaozhen was so angry that she pinched Lan Ya's arm and scolded: "You girl, obviously from everyone's beautiful background, how can you have a bandit-like temperament......"
Everyone sat down peacefully, and Qin Suqing's delicate voice sounded, and asked: "This Qi Chuanxiong is also a shrewd person, who knows how to take advantage of the situation and strengthen the reputation of the Lingwu Sect. But it's not big or small, so why don't you come here in person?"
This question of hers, even the proprietress Lu Qiaozhen can't explain, because she is also curious about her husband's decision.
Is it really to listen to the ethereal "Bronze Dragon Tower"?
This speculation came to everyone's mind once, but it was all rejected.
If it was really for this, then Xu Zhengyi would not be sitting here, but should be sitting in Mingtang.
Xu Zhengyi smiled but didn't answer, in his heart, he didn't care about the "Bronze Dragon Tower", he was already one of the "Thirty-six Heavenly Perfections", even if he got the "Bronze Dragon Tower", would it be useful to choose a practice and start over!?
In fact, in his heart, it was just for the young man he met in the restaurant.
Because when the young man heard that Ao Ziqing was dead and Mo Yeli was seriously suspected, the tremor of his body was clearly felt by him, and the other party was surprised. Let Xu Zhengyi realize that his person must have a huge relationship with this Ao Ziqing and Mo Yeli. And this time the "Rebellion Conference". He will surely come.
For that young man with profound skills, he was genuinely interested.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the heroes from all walks of life who came to the door were still in an endless stream.
Lingwu Gate is already a vast area, crowded by the flow of people, it is said that even the back garden has been opened, used to entertain the martial artists, rough estimates, there are already more than 2,000 people gathered here, not including the outside of the outside who are not qualified to enter the Lingwu Gate. They had already filled the street in front of Lingwu Gate, and the restaurants and inns on both sides.
Xu Zhengyi and a few people were chatting, and there was a tumult inside and outside the Ming Hall.
Xu Zhengyi had nothing to do, looking left and right at the noisy rookies in the rivers and lakes around him, looking at their blood and strength, pointing at the beauties on this table, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Once upon a time, when I was young, I was like them, and I don't remember how much trouble I got into for flirting with beautiful women, until I became successful in martial arts and married a wife and had children. Fang just cut off contact with the previous market.
At this time, when I saw all kinds of eager eyes around me, I felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy in my heart.
It was at this time. A young figure in a blue Taoist robe met Xu Zhengyi's eyes, it was just a little Taoist priest who was about eighteen years old at the peak of the day after tomorrow, with an ordinary and even a somewhat rustic face, sitting there quietly, not communicating with anyone, and his eyes were not as passionate as other young martial artists, let alone looking at himself.
The young Taoist priest carried this long sword behind his back, the bright yellow sword spike fluttered in the wind, and there was also a short sword across his left chest, the configuration of two swords, one long and one short, made people understand that this person's sword moves were definitely strange moves, with sharpness in the gentleness. Just like his face, although ordinary and restrained, he is like an unsheathed sword, absolutely sharp and ruthless.
Xu Zhengyi secretly praised, thinking in his heart what sect can teach such a disciple, at this time, Cui Changling, a scar-faced thin man next to him, obviously also noticed this young Taoist, and when he saw that the landlord was interested, he whispered: "This kid is not ordinary......"
"Oh, how so?"
The same attention also attracted the attention of a table of people, and the proprietress Lu Qiaoyin also asked with interest.
And the bearded man Zhu Xiong unexpectedly glanced at the scar-faced thin man and said, "If you can say that Lao Cui is unusual, then this person's swordsmanship must be excellent......
Even Qin Suqing on the side also glanced at the Taoist priest unexpectedly, and then turned around and stared closely at the scar-faced thin man in front of him - the former peerless swordsman "Fierce Sword" Cui Changling, now renamed Mai Chenggang.
There are definitely not many people who know the name Cui Changling, but all of them are the top swordsmen in the world.
Cui Changling, the "fierce sword" who had one person and one sword, kept challenging the rivers and lakes, was a storage that made countless people feel fearful, because he was extremely ruthless, and even if he was compared to the sword, he hardly left a living mouth, which aroused the hatred of almost all swordsmen.
Until one day, he challenged a person who shouldn't be challenged - Xiao Buqian.
Xiao Buqian, the peerless swordsman of the Taibai Sword Sect, was almost split in half by someone under a sword, this is still the result of Xiao Buqian's mercy, otherwise Cui Changling would not have survived.
And that sword also left an indelible mark on his face.
Cui Changling was hit hard, from the day he survived, from that day on, he swore that he would never use a sword if he didn't defeat Xiao Buqian!
Only a limited number of people know this allusion, including Fengyi Pavilion, and only after trying his best to find out that this little-known Mai Chenggang is actually the "Fierce Sword" Cui Changling.
At this time, Zhu Xiong mentioned this sentence, but Cui Changling was stunned for a while, Xiao Buqian had been missing for nearly twenty years, which made him wait so anxiously, slowly touched the scar on his face, and said lightly: "I haven't used a sword for a long time......"
After saying this, Cui Changling's hands trembled violently uncontrollably.
The sword is Cui Changling's inner demon!
Xu Zhengyi put his left hand on Cui Changling's back and glared at Zhu Xiong reproachfully, blaming him for not triggering Cui Changling's murderous intent that had been buried for many years.
Zhu Xiong shrank his neck in fright, the scene of Cui Changling killing people with a sword back then is vivid, it is really terrifying, the current Cui Changling is just a congenital master, with murderous intentions, but no murderous intentions.
And the real "Fierce Sword" is a terrifying swordsmanship that integrates killing intent, murderous aura, and murderous intent, and someone will die when the sword comes out, so Cui Changling was looking for someone to compete in martial arts, and there were so many souls under the sword, because if he didn't kill people, he wouldn't be able to use the sword.
Cui Changling's murderous intent frightened everyone, if it happened here at this time, I was afraid that the situation would be difficult to clean up.
And suddenly, Cui Changling was shocked, then raised his head blankly and looked out.
The original tense atmosphere of everyone disappeared suddenly, Cui Changling actually woke up from the demon in his heart, and everyone followed his eyes to look over, and a fierce killing intent came out from the Taoist priest with a simple appearance just now.
It turned out that the murderous aura on that little Taoist priest attracted Cui Changling's attention, and it was he who was about to fall into the demons of his heart!
At this time, the Taoist priest was no longer in his seat, he came to the venue and stopped a group of young masters with a proud demeanor, and the one who took the lead was Qi Yunfei, the young master here.
Next to him, there are many young masters he should not afford to offend, including Zhao Qingting of the Fengyun Alliance and Li Zhengyang of the Youlong Gang. (To be continued......)
