Somewhere on the outskirts of Qinzhou City. The birds and beasts in the chaotic forest and weeds no longer chirp as unscrupulously as before, and the insects are still known in the noisy summer, but seem more and more quiet.

Because there is one more building. The Last Floor Inn.

When the scholar first saw the inn on the last floor, he looked at it for a long time, but finally found that he couldn't seem to remember more details, shook his head, and walked into the building.

Ding Qiliang cooks. Chen Hui held an old book in his hand. The scholar was left to observe the inn.

After a moment, he said, "Such a movable stronghold is not bad. At least, the third-rate forces simply have no way of catching you. ”

From the moment he entered the house, he found that the scholar seemed to have a different kind of affection for this inn, so he didn't speak until the scholar opened his mouth and said, "What is a first-class, second-rate, and third-rate." ”

The scholar didn't answer directly, but asked, "This inn, there should be a secret room, right?" ”

Chen Hui was surprised, nodded and said, "There is indeed one, a utility room, and at the same time, it is also a driving room." ”

The scholar said, "How did you get this inn?" ”

Chen smiled back without answering, and continued to read.

The scholar was bored and snorted: "If I don't say it, I will also know that if there is anyone in the world who can build such a building, it must be my friend." When I asked her, she told me. ”

Chen came back interested: "Why don't you tell me directly who this friend of yours is, and let me tell you how this building came about?" ”

The scholar looked uninterested and said, "You have a lot of secrets, and I have a lot of secrets, and I occasionally like to exchange secrets with people, but I never use my own secrets to trade." ”

The scholar sat opposite Chenhui, and the two did not speak, but sat quietly.

The atmosphere became a little weird, but fortunately, both of them seemed to be used to it.

Until Ding Qi prepared the wine and food, he couldn't help scolding: Grandma's, she didn't even have an errand to serve food. ”

Chen Hui listened to this, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Reasonable, I should recruit a good teacher to run the hall, what do you think, cook." ”

Ding Qiliang drank a bowl of wine and said, "With your broken shop, business won't be so good that you need someone to help you run the hall." ”

Chen Hui shook his head and said, "Although the sparrow is small, it is always complete. That's it, after helping you get the Qi family to get what you want, we'll go find a suitable running hall, I've been looking for a chef for a long time, I hope this running hall won't make me feel too difficult to find. ”

At this time, the scholar spoke: "Running the hall cook, then you may still lack an account room." Since the chef is a famous chef in the world, and the running hall is a master of light skills, I think you should lack a good accounting room. ”

Chen Hui nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I think Mr. is good, do you have any intention to come to my inn, the salary is not much, but the food is good." ”

The scholar chuckled and said, "Then I have to see if you can survive first, you are dealing with the Qi family, if a behemoth like the Qi family can't destroy the two of you, then there is naturally capital worthy of me to join." ”

Ding Qiliang said: "You fortune teller, your tone is not small. ”

The scholar said, "Didn't you ask me what I mean by first-class, second-rate, and third-rate. ”

Chen Hui said: "I want to hear about it." ”

The scholar poured himself a glass of wine without hurry, and said slowly: "The most famous in the rivers and lakes are the nine major factions. ”

"Bajian Sect, Iron Lion Sect, Tiangong Mountain Taoism, Yunci Valley, Xuanji Sword Sect, Xuanwu Sect, Haotian Sect, Hanyin Sect, Buddha Sect."

Ding Qiliang knew this, didn't talk much, ate vegetables in a muffled voice, and Chen Hui didn't interrupt the scholar's words.

"These nine major sects, even the latest Haotian Sect and the Iron Lion Sect, have a history of a hundred years, and the rest of the sects, such as Tiangong Mountain Taoism and Buddhism, have existed for hundreds of years. Among the various forces in the rivers and lakes, there are protégés of the nine major factions. ”

"The Nine Great Factions are super-first-class existences, and such forces can even threaten the imperial court. You should also know that the incident in Lotus Sky City a few years ago made the empire and the martial arts forces almost incompatible, and the rivers and lakes were extremely chaotic. It's still an existence that even the empire fears. The nine major forces belong to different places, among which Shaolin, Yunci Valley, Tiangong Mountain Taoism, and won the hearts of the people, and Haotian Sect is enshrined as a divine religion in the Western Regions, and its influence even surpasses the royal power. Therefore, the empire is difficult to eradicate, and over the years, it has been fighting openly and secretly. ”

Ding Qiliang nodded and said: "The imperial court is also afraid of the alliance of the nine major factions, so it has issued wanted warrants to all the heads and even the more powerful masters. It is said that the slightly more powerful people in the rivers and lakes, whether good or evil, are worth at least thousands of taels of gold. ”

The scholar smiled: "Money can make ghosts grind." The simplest method is often the most effective, most of the people in the rivers and lakes are greedy, even if there are some powerful characters, so this move of the imperial court, although it is incompatible with the entire rivers and lakes, but it also makes the rivers and lakes full of fighting and fighting every day. The nine major factions all have a common enemy, that is, the current imperial court, but the nine major factions are also inseparable from each other and the entire Jianghu martial arts. ”

Chen scratched his head and said, "It sounds very complicated. ”

The scholar mocked: "It's not complicated, you'll understand why this is the case when you are also wanted in the future." ”

"But what's the difference between these nine factions?" Chen Hui didn't care about the scholar's words.

The scholar looked at Chen Hui in surprise, but Ding Qiliang had long been used to it. In terms of common sense in the rivers and lakes, the shopkeeper is really not a person in the rivers and lakes.

"After all, the nine major sects are divided by martial arts, and the martial arts styles of these nine major factions are also very different. The Cold Hidden Sect in Frost River City, because it is located in the land of ice and snow, so its disciples' exercises are full of cold aura, and the exercises of the Cold Hidden Sect are mainly based on instant explosions, so most of them are forbearant but deadly assassins. If it is invaded by their internal force, it may even be frozen. ”

"And the diametrically opposed is the Haotian Sect of Hongcheng in the Western Regions, the Haotian Sect that believes in the fire god is full of blazing Haotian Palm Method, and it is rumored that the six protectors of Haotian Sect can even burn wood to drive away inflammation, and the palm sect can be even more unharmed. However, the Haotian Sect is located in the Western Regions, and rarely interacts with the Central Plains martial arts, although it is a major force, it is still too mysterious in the end. ”

Chen Hui exclaimed: "These two families are one ice and one fire, which are completely different. ”

"Fujin City is located in the southeast of the empire, is the Xuanwu Gate entrenched place, the people of the Xuanwu Gate, pay attention to refining the body, the master of the Xuansheng Twelve is said to have fought countless battles for more than 20 years, but has never been injured, invulnerable, King Kong is not bad."

"Then there is the Yunci Valley in Donghai City, located in a geothermal hot spring, the valley master Li Nianyun is the youngest of the nine major factions, but he is also the strongest among the martial arts descendants today. Different from the rigidity of the Xuanwu Sect, the characteristic of the Yunci Valley One Vein Exercise is that it is soft, and the thousand catties hitting them are like hitting the water with a sword. In addition, Yun Ci Valley's exercises are extremely magical, and they can generate flesh and blood with internal force, and the people in this vein are all existences with high medical skills and martial arts."

Chen Hui said curiously: "Isn't that Yunci Valley the same as the Xuanwu Sect, and the masters inside are all unbeatable existences?" ”

The scholar nodded: "That's true, but the Xuanwu Sect is a strong vein, and in terms of offensive, it is also extremely powerful." But Yunci Valley is the real one, as long as he doesn't die, he can fight again. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. ”

Chen Hui said: "These sects have distinctive characteristics, I remember them. ”

"Ye Yang City is located in the Central Plains of the Empire, bordering Anlian City, these two cities are the two oldest sects of martial arts, Tiangong Mountain Taoism in Ye Yang City, located on Tiangong Mountain in the Central Plains, and the Buddhism on Shaomu Mountain in Anlian City. The characteristics of Buddhism and Taoism are obvious, that is, the internal strength is profound, and the masters of the Nine Leaves Realm are obviously more than other sects, and the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are also the origin of martial arts in the world, so there are many exercises. Unlike other sects that can be seen in their exercises, the masters of the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism can be ranked among the top of the nine major sects just by virtue of their internal strength. However, there are still differences between Taoism and Buddhism, in general. Taoism is good at defending, and Buddhism is good at attacking. ”

The scholar's introduction to each sect was very short, but Chen Hui wrote it down because it was short and concise.

"So in general, the people of the Dao Buddha family are the strongest?"

The scholar raised his forehead: "I hope you are not looking for words, although internal force is the standard for measuring the realm, but it is not the standard for strength and weakness, what is the difference in the strength of the masters of the nine major factions, only those people themselves know, but there will definitely be no exaggerated disparity." Exercises, light exercises, internal forces, physical strength, and so on comprehensively determine the strength or weakness. However, it is true that the people of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are the strongest. Because there are no obvious weaknesses. Moreover, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are also stronger than other sects in terms of heritage and strength. ”

With an embarrassed smile, Chen Hui nodded as if he didn't understand.

"The Iron Lion Sect in Linhui City is also one of the nine major factions that specializes in internal strength, and their practice is to turn internal force into a lion's roar, agitating, when dealing with a single enemy, although the loss is extremely cost-effective, but when dealing with a group of enemies, the roar has almost no dead ends. It is rumored that a hundred Iron Lion Sect elites can block 10,000 Iron Horsemen in the empire. ”

"The last two sects are the North and South Twin Sword Sect, the Bajian Sect and the Xuanji Sword Sect. The Bajian Gate of the Northern Lotus Sky City, when Ning Wuxie, the master of the Bajian Gate, was only nineteen years old, he inherited the Bajian Gate, but the tragedy of the Liankong City was the only one that did not move and avoided the catastrophe, and therefore, the Bajian Gate of the Liankong City became an existence whose strength was comparable to that of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. Moreover, the Overlord Sword Technique of the Sword Gate itself is extremely domineering, but it is the same as the Ding family's knife method back then, it is extremely fierce, but it is extremely fast. ”

Ding Qiliang said: "The sword of the north and south is the same as the sword of the north and the south, the Qi family in the south is fast and illusory, and my Ding family is fierce." This difference is actually the same in the sword sect, and my father has also dealt with Ning Wuxie. It is said that this person is definitely the most dangerous existence in the martial arts. ”

The scholar nodded and said: "Nanjian is the Xuanji Sword Sect of Lianqing City, the head of the Sword Sect, Yun Cangxuan, is a very mysterious existence, few people in the martial arts have seen him, the affairs of the Sword Sect are all taken care of by the elders of the sect, I only know that his swordsmanship is excellent, and he is not very old, he is only in his early thirties, but with only one hand of the Tianxuan Nine Swords, the people in the sect are extremely convinced of him." ”

Chen Hui was very interested in swordsmanship and said, "What kind of swordsmanship is that?" ”

The scholar shook his head and said: "The people of the Xuanji Sword Sect are very low-key, there is very little information about them in the rivers and lakes, and the Tianxuan Nine Swords are also the most exquisite swordsmanship of their sect, which is only briefly mentioned in the Pinwulu, it is a kind of swordsmanship that can only be performed by people with wonderful light footwork and extremely flexible bodies, Ye still said that Yuncang Xuan can stab from four places at the same time with one sword." ”

Chen replied: "The masters of these factions are really powerful. ”

"They can be said to be the strongest existence in this martial arts, and they are the top-level figures. After all, the two legends of the True Martial Realm are too ethereal, and this group of people is the real terrifying existence that can be touched and felt. ”

Chen Hui smiled: "Fortunately, I shouldn't have any entanglements with these sects. ”

The scholar said: "It's hard to say, these years the Qi family has occupied Qinzhou City, and all small forces have come to vote, plus the head of the family, Qi Linya, has been in retreat since the battle with Ding Xuchu, and no one knows to what extent the strength is, I only heard that the strength is no less than the top masters of the nine major factions, and even surpassed, the first sword in the world is not covered, and therefore, although Ning Wuxie, the Bajian Sect, although he is in the north, he personally sent people to make friends with the Qi family. If you offend the Qi family, you are already offending a behemoth, if you provoke the Bajian Sect again, this Jianghu will be very difficult for you. ”

Chen Hui said helplessly: "It seems that there are still some connections between the major forces, but the Qi family now has what the cook needs in his hands, and I will help him get it back no matter what." ”

Ding Qiliang drank a glass of wine, but the scholar said: "The nine major factions are super-first-class existences, and the Qi family is also first-class existences. Ding Qiliang shouldn't have known you for a long time, after all, he has been in the palace before. It's not cost-effective for you to offend the Qi family for such a cook. ”

Ding Qiliang was not angry because of the scholar's words, he saw that this scholar was good at talking about the pros and cons, and this was indeed the case.

Chen Hui said: "You have been talking for so long, but you haven't moved your chopsticks." ”

The dishes are tempting, but they are just ordinary ingredients. But it's extraordinarily appetizing.

Book vivid chopsticks.

After chewing for a while, the scholar said, "It seems that I understand. ”

Chen Hui said: "It's good to understand." ”

Ding Qiliang laughed, Chen Hui also smiled, and the scholar smiled bitterly. For a while, the deserted inn with only three people was a little lively.
