Chapter 45: Three Major Events
The summer of the thirty-first year of the Qin calendar.
Half a month after the battle of the Moon River Tower, through the Haotian Sect, the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, the Tianji Pavilion and other forces, the news of the defeat of the Molou Inn and the destruction of the Demon Sect has spread throughout the martial arts, as if a heavy news suddenly came from the rivers and lakes that had been quiet for a long time. For the Jianghu martial arts, the autumn of the thirtieth year of the Qin calendar was undoubtedly eventful, and the catastrophe of the martial arts conference was followed by the war between the empire and the northern regions of the Western Regions. Whether it is the martial arts conference, the Western Regions War, or the Northern Regions War, after everything is over, the most talked about is the inn.
The two strongest swordsmen who killed the legendary monsters are naturally very valuable for discussion, and how strong the dragon general Xiang Wu, who destroyed more than 10,000 opponents with his own strength, has always been a hot topic, the hermit powerhouse of Buddhism, the shouts of Li Nianyun and the northern Tieli general Klu, the strong lion roar of the new head of the Iron Lion Sect, Nian Xiaotang, and so on and so forth, have become the talk of people in the rivers and lakes after dinner. But in the end, it was this always mysterious end-floor inn and its shopkeeper who attracted the most attention, because the entire rivers and lakes owed them a favor, and even rumored that even the military's supreme commander Xiang Wu owed the inn a favor.
People recall that the Molou Inn is like a dark horse that has entered the rivers and lakes in the 30 years of the Qin calendar. First eradicated the evil dragon that Qinzhou City had been evil for more than ten years, and then thwarted the conspiracy of the Yan family in the martial arts conference, and then was active in the two battlefields, the characters in the inn can be described as the real heroes of the world, and its shopkeeper is the most anticipated person among the young generation of martial artists in the world. Such a person, who has the evaluation of the strongest people in the world such as Ning Wuxian and Xiang Wu, was told that he suffered a fiasco and died, and for a while, whether it was a ranger in the rivers and lakes, a famous person, or a martial arts giant, even the high-level leaders of the nine major factions were shocked.
No one in the rivers and lakes has a deep friendship with the shopkeeper, except for Li Nianyun, the owner of Yunci Valley, perhaps only the unknown little monk of the Buddhist Sect has some friendship with the inn. But all the people in the rivers and lakes are surprising, whether they are underworld or white, or ordinary people and merchants who are not involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and even some officials and soldiers of the empire, they all have an extremely friendly attitude towards the inn.
The Last Inn is still mysterious, and finding a moving building in the vast territory of the empire is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. People don't know where the Molu Inn is now, but they heard that the people of the inn have now fallen apart and don't know their whereabouts, and it is unknown who is in charge of this inn now. Worry is worry, but most of the people in the rivers and lakes are spectators, and they care about the whereabouts of the Molou Inn, but they only care. Those who can repel the Molou Inn and the Demon Sect must be very powerful forces.
In fact, it is true that the Desolate Moon Divine Sect can be said to have become famous in one battle, and another major event after the defeat of the Demon Sect at the Moolou Inn is related to the Desolate Moon Divine Sect. The nine major factions have been the foundation of the rivers and lakes for decades, and the sects before the Haotian Sect and the Iron Lion Sect have a history of hundreds of years, which can be described as the lifeblood of the rivers and lakes.
After the rise of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect and its fame, the Desolate Moon Divine Sect quickly launched the Spring and Autumn Order against the Xuanji Sword Sect and the Yunci Valley Sect.
The Spring and Autumn Order is a rare one in the Jianghu system, but once it appears, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm. If the war of the thirty years of the Qin calendar was a war between countries, then now the Desolate Moon Divine Cult, which launched the Spring and Autumn Order against the Xuanji Sword Sect and Yunci Valley, is to set off a war in the rivers and lakes. Once the Spring and Autumn Decree is issued, the initiated sect can ask for help from other sects and form an alliance in the rivers and lakes, and all the high-level members of the alliance, that is, the supreme power holder of each faction, will ask their disciples and jointly name them on the Spring and Autumn List.
It's a life and death contract. Potency is three months.
Those who are jointly on the list will have a death match with the initiator of the Spring and Autumn Order, and if their names are not included in the list, they will not be able to meddle in the fight between two or even several factions in any case. In other words, if the disciples of the sect are unwilling to participate in the death match, or even the high-level of the sect is unwilling to participate in the death match, they can not be on the Spring and Autumn List. And the initiator can't kill someone who isn't on the list.
The purpose of this system is to minimize the damage caused by the fighting between two or even several factions that have irreconcilable grievances. A long time ago, there was a huge chaos in the rivers and lakes, the various factions fought with each other, some innocent people who did not involve grievances have been affected, and many people have been affected, making the chain of hatred and chaos longer and longer, and the disputes in the rivers and lakes seem to be spreading endlessly, so the system of the most respected top powerhouses in the rivers and lakes promulgating the Spring and Autumn Decree.
That is, let two or more forces compete fairly, and no one who is no longer on the Spring and Autumn List cannot be killed, and those who violate this rule will become the public enemy of the entire Jianghu.
But on the other hand, anyone who left his name on the Spring and Autumn List, no matter what means the opponent used to kill him within three months after the start of the war, whether he was upright or secretly obstructed, all the fights in these three months, and those who had not signed the Spring and Autumn List, were not allowed to intervene. Even if some of them die from the worst means of killing, as long as their friends and relatives are not on the list, at least during the three months of the battle, they must not seek revenge.
Since it is a fair fight, then there will naturally be witnesses and judges, and the judges and witnesses of the Spring and Autumn War have been the most respected people in Buddhism and Taoism since the establishment of this system.
After the Desolate Moon Divine Sect issued a Spring and Autumn Order against the Xuanji Sword Sect and Yunci Valley, the entire rivers and lakes really began to shake.
Although I don't know how many people will leave their names on the Spring and Autumn List, how many sects are willing to form an alliance with Yunci Valley and the Xuanji Sword Sect, and how many disciples will really leave their names on the Spring and Autumn List, if this dispute really starts, then there will undoubtedly be the biggest bloodshed since the Lotus Sky City incident.
But there is also a situation......
That is, the whole faction did not sign this Spring and Autumn List and refused to accept the Spring and Autumn Order. In fact, this is the most common. It has been hundreds of years since any of the nine major factions launched the Spring and Autumn Order against the other, but among the wealthy families in the past hundred years, there have been occasional great families who have launched against the other faction, but basically no one will sign the Spring and Autumn List. So it's over.
There is no loss to the forces that issued the order, and for the forces that received the order, it is nothing more than being criticized by the people of the rivers and lakes for being cowardly and losing some prestige in the rivers and lakes. But as long as you can survive, the humiliation will not be so difficult to accept.
Now that three days have passed, and everyone in the whole country knows that the new huge force in the south, the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, has launched the Spring and Autumn Order against the Xuanji Sword Sect and Yunci Valley, that is, the book of war is open. The strength of the Nine Great Sects has not been initiated for a long, long time since the Spring and Autumn Order, and the people of Buddhism and Taoism also sent people to reconcile for the first time. Yun Ci Gu and the Xuanji Sword Sect did not move for the time being.
But the rivers and lakes are lively, and it is rumored that this battle between the Desolate Moon God Sect and the Xuanji Sword Sect is a battle of revenge. But it is not known why it is revenge, and it remains to be seen where this rumor came from.
On the other hand, people don't know the attitude towards the Xuanji Sword Sect, but they just expect that Yun Cangxuan, the head of the Xuanji Sword Sect, is a person who is tied with the strongest Ning Wuxian in the world today, and naturally he will not lose to the Desolate Moon Divine Sect in terms of strength, but Yun Cangxuan is a hermit who has never cared much about these evaluations, and what he pursues is the way of the hermit, at least in the eyes of the world, and this is indeed the case, even if the Xuanji Sword Sect chooses not to fight, the people of the rivers and lakes will not think that the people of the Xuanji Sword Sect are timid and afraid of war, just to avoid bloodshed and strife, so what is Yun Cangxuan's choice, to fight or not to fight, or to say five or five.
It's just Yunci Valley, in people's opinion, it is very likely to take over the Spring and Autumn Order.
The most difficult person in the world must be a woman.
The people of Yunci Valley do not fight for the rebellion of the rivers and lakes, most of them are women who have the heart of helping the world and saving people, and they have always been respected by the people of the rivers and lakes, but Yunci Valley has never been easy to provoke and is not afraid of war. And once Yunci Valley accepts the challenge, there may be many forces willing to support the people of Yunci Valley.
The most important thing is that Li Nianyun, the lord of Yunci Valley on Qinhuai Bridge in Qinzhou City, has spread the news that he faced more than a thousand warriors alone for the sake of the cook Ding Qiliang and the innkeeper, and many people in the Northern War saw that Li Nianyun and the innkeeper had an extraordinary relationship and should be close friends, so people believe that Li Nianyun will not revenge his best friend Chen.
But the choice of Yunci Valley is still unknown, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes are boiling at the moment, but it is the three forces of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, the Xuanji Sword Sect, and Yunci Valley that seem to be a little too calm.
But people all know one thing, the rivers and lakes will not be so peaceful soon. The initiation of the Spring and Autumn Festival is a proof of this. The Spring and Autumn Order is a war letter to the death, and in people's perception, launching such a challenge should be with the ambition of annexing forces or a deep hatred. Even if Yunci Valley and the Xuanji Sword Sect did not accept the Spring and Autumn Order and refused to fight with the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, I am afraid that the Desolate Moon Divine Sect would not end like this, and would launch a new offensive.
And the battle of such a big force, even if there are only two forces, will inevitably cause chaos in the entire rivers and lakes.
……
……
The bloody nature of the people in the rivers and lakes is also not afraid of disputes, at least on the surface, so there are many spectators in the rivers and lakes who hope that Yunci Valley and the Xuanji Sword Sect can fight with the Desolate Moon Divine Sect. This is the rivers and lakes, and it has always been so.
The fall of the innkeeper made many people regret and sigh, that is, Ye is still a person who is used to seeing geniuses and has seen the world's martial artists, and he also laments the fall of a young genius like the innkeeper. This is also the rivers and lakes, and it has never changed.
The rivers and lakes are never peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are never short of geniuses.
The Spring and Autumn Season shocked the whole Jianghu, and the appearance of another warrior shocked the Jianghu again.
Ye Yi's martial arts list has rarely changed outside the martial arts conference, but since the inn fiasco, people have seen that the martial arts list has changed.
The name of the shopkeeper is still on the list, but there are two more people in the top ten miles of the martial arts list......
The two powerhouses in the Extreme Artistic Realm, one is the mysterious leader of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, that is, Xiao Qianye, the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but Xiao Qianye's true identity, and he is not known by the people of the rivers and lakes, people just know that the person who defeated the innkeeper is the leader of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect.
Martial arts are ominous, the realm is extreme, the realm alone is enough to win the top ten in the world, and no one knows what Ye is still based on the ranking, but Ye is still ranked.
The leader of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, ranked sixth in the martial arts list, Ye was still ranked seventh in the original fifth, and all the people who were ranked after Ye Yi dropped two places.
That's what shocked people the most, because ...... Above the leader of the Cult of the Desolate Moon God, there is a person who has not appeared before. occupied the position of Ye Yi, who was originally fifth. In Ye Yi's ranking, it was also tacitly accepted that this person's strength surpassed that of the Sect Master of the Desolate Moon God Sect, who defeated the innkeeper and the Demon Sect Master.
His name had never appeared in the rivers and lakes before.
Flower blade clothes, martial arts are ominous, the realm is extremely meaningful, and the martial arts list ranks fifth.
The appearance of the flower blade clothes shocked the heroes of the rivers and lakes, because it is rumored that this person is only thirty years old, which means that his talent is the same as that of Yuncang Xuanning Innocent, and his martial arts are extremely weird.
All the way up, even if the battle reached the first page of the martial arts list, in the face of a strong man like the lion king, he still only ended the battle in an instant, the weapon on his back seemed to be a stick and a sword, he was always blindfolded, like a blind man, his hair ornament was very strange, he did not belong to the Central Plains nor to the people of the Western Regions and the Southern Barbarian Northern Regions.
Then the opponent challenged by this person was the top combat power in the rivers and lakes, the Sikong brothers of Taoism, Zhuang Shengxiao, the deputy master of the Bajian Gate, and the three senior monks of the wordless generation of Buddhism were all defeated.
If the previous people were not well-known, and the battle was not eye-catching even if the gap was huge, then almost every one of the next few duels was enough to make the heroes of the rivers and lakes hotly discussed.
The martial arts of the flower blade were extremely peculiar, and the weapons wrapped in linen cloth never showed their edge, but they defeated all the people he challenged with almost no obstacles along the way.
People did not investigate his origin, and he did not say anything, but he was not hated by others, he was very measured, and he seemed to pay great attention to etiquette in his conversation. Faintly, some people speculate that the Flower Blade Cloak comes from the other side of the Dark Sea.
This statement was not believed at first, and most of the time it was talked about how it could not be believed.
But it wasn't until a recent challenge by the Flower Blade Suit that the challenged person said that this martial arts was definitely not possessed by this continent, that this statement slowly began to be believed.
And the flower blade clothes ...... seven days ago
Defeated the formulator of the martial arts list, and is proficient in thousands of martial arts, the real person who has all the laws - Ye Yi.
Although Ye is still more than half a hundred years old, he looks only in his thirties, compared to Taoist people, he is more immortal and graceful, even after the defeat, he is not unhappy, but extremely happy, and then Ye still asked about Hua Jian Yi, where his kung fu comes from, Hua Jian Yi's answer made Ye still shocked.
But how to answer, only Ye still knows, Ye is still based on his cognition of Hua Jian Yi's martial arts, ranked fifth, and Hua Jian Yi also knows that in the eyes of this great sage, there are four people who are stronger than him.
For the people of the rivers and lakes, they have begun to slowly choose to believe that this flower blade is a peerless swordsman from the other side of Anhai. This statement has been circulated since a long time, and now it is being used again.
The warriors of this continent were defeated one by one, and even the top ten people in the martial arts list were defeated, no matter how good the attitude of the flower blade was, at this time, the hearts of the same enemy also made people start to feel dangerous to the flower blade.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. It is unknown whether there is anyone in the rivers and lakes who can defeat the flower blade, but looking forward to a person appearing and defeating the flower blade has also become the expectation of all martial arts people.
Master Fangzheng and Zhang Tianshi of Buddhism and Taoism have not made a move for many years, and the ultimate goal of Hua Blade Yi is naturally not the third or fourth, but to defeat the strongest people in this continent. Yun Cangxuan was afraid that he was dealing with the matter of the Spring and Autumn List, and he had no intention of fighting, and Ning Wuxian said that he went to some unknown place again, and there was no response.
Therefore, the appearance of the Flower Blade Suit made all martial arts people feel an unspeakable crisis, which was different from the bloody wind of the Desolate Moon God Sect, but a crisis from dignity.
A young man from a foreign country easily defeated the powerhouses of the entire Central Plains Martial Arts or the entire continent, which really made them feel humiliated.
After learning that Master Fang Zheng and Zhang Tianshi were old, after learning that the sword god Yun Cangxuan was dealing with the danger of the sect and needed to retain his strength, and after learning that Ning Wuxian did not know where to go, he sighed with a little regret and told him that he would return to the dark sea in a month.
After this news spread, the martial arts people looked forward to the fact that this foreign visitor could taste defeat before going back. It's just a pity that no one in the rivers and lakes can defeat him.
As a result, Hua Jianyi's actions, whether it is a bitter smile or regret, have become a kind of ridicule and contempt in the eyes of the Jianghu people.
The spectators are like this, they always live a life of five buckets of rice, and they have the heart of the world. But I have to say that such a situation makes everyone look forward to it-
Will there be someone who will come out of nowhere to defeat this visitor from the dark sea?
And a wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
When the Spring and Autumn Festival and the visitors from the dark sea pushed the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes to the top, the people of the whole rivers and lakes learned of a big thing again.
The son of the previous dragon general Shen Chaoya, will be beheaded after the autumn.
