Chapter 51: Masters Gather
Zhenjiang Mansion is located in Jiangsu.
The Yangtze River and the Grand Canal converge here, and there are three water systems of Qinhuai River, Taihu Lake and Yanjiang River.
Water conservancy is extremely developed, and it is natural to derive countless gang forces that rely on the river for food.
However, in the past ten years, these forces have all been swallowed up, and only one behemoth with more than 100,000 people remains, the Changle Gang, is here. Based on Zhenjiang, it quickly established a rudder in the thirteen southern provinces.
The eight major factions, Wudang Shaolin, one in Hubei and one in Henan, are real giants of the rivers and lakes, unique and unrivaled.
The other six factions, Kongtong in Gansu, Huashan in Shanxi, Emei in Sichuan, Kunlun in Qinghai, Diancang in Dali, and Beggars in Junshan.
In the provinces south of the Yangtze River, Wudang has always been closed to the Qing Dynasty and repaired, regardless of things, and the Junshan Beggars Gang often caused some turmoil, but in recent years, it has also settled down a lot.
The Changle Gang in the south is the most popular, and it can be regarded as a dominant family.
Two months ago, the Changle Gang spread the matter of selecting the young gang leader, and the whole Jianghu was in an uproar.
Generally, the gangs in the rivers and lakes will absorb the rivers and lakes to cultivate freely, but the Changle Gang has developed to this extent, and it stands to reason that it is either like a beggar gang, recruiting beggars from all over the world and establishing a clear rank promotion system.
Or, like a family sect, a few first-class martial artists master their own halls and resources, distribute them to the descendants of their cronies, and pass them on from generation to generation.
Like this, the selection of young helpers is simply incredible.
When the news first came out, no one dared to believe it, how could there be such a big bargain in the world?!
But I have to believe it!
After half a month, the leader of the Changle Gang, the eight golden dragons, Situ Heng, did not stand up to refute the rumors, obviously this is true!
The selection is also in accordance with the rules of inheritance for a hundred years, regardless of age, identity, gender, and the highest artist.
On October 10th, a one-on-one martial arts competition, the strongest one is the leader of the Changle Gang!
The teahouse inn has been crowded with people coming and going.
October 10 is just three days away.
First-class martial artists are rare in the past, and ordinary people are hard to see. Nowadays, the entire Zhenjiang Mansion has gathered dozens of first-class martial artists. Many people were not well-known in the rivers and lakes before.
The reason is simple.
People's time is limited!
In particular, the time to practice martial arts, starting from the age of ten to the age of forty, can be regarded as the best time to practice martial arts, and the progress is the fastest. If you miss this time, it will be difficult to break through.
Most of the Jianghu casual cultivators do not have access to the top exercises, all they can do is to cultivate a suitable martial art, and then touch the bypass.
It takes twenty years for one course to be cultivated to perfection and has a good talent, and ten years for the other one, even if the difficulty is halved. Thirty years is enough, and it is difficult to break through if you slack off, and there is no time to wander the rivers and lakes and leave a great reputation.
Therefore, before Dacheng, it had some reputation in the local area.
When many warriors gather together, it is inevitable to fight!
First, after many years of penance, you need to be famous; Second, I also tested the strength of my competitors by the way, so that I knew it.
A few rings outside the city, I don't know how many times they have been broken these days.
If it weren't for the large number of Changle Gang, just building a ring would have exhausted people to death.
In addition to the masters of scattered cultivation, there are also a lot of first-class martial artists from various sects. As a background, they are generally fine, they will not go out, but this kind of excitement is extremely rare, and they are reluctant to go thousands of miles to Zhenjiang.
For example, Zhong Zhan, the swordsman of the Cangfeng Cloud, arrived half a month ago, and appeared from time to time to comment on the battles in the ring.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are many big names in Zhenjiang these days, and they are the most popular, there are four of them!"
"Who are the four of you?!"
In the teahouse, the storyteller patted the wood: "It is the east stick, the west stick, the south fist, and the north leg." ”
"Dongzhu Shi Fei, a disciple of Shaolin layman, lived in Huayin, was gifted since childhood, with nine black dragons on his body, which was valued by Shaolin bitter gourd monks, and he had to learn the crazy magic stick method. Once used, it is really like a demon god possessed, and no one can stop it. ”
"West Staff Ouyang, a master of Tibetan borders, no one knows his origin. He is good at poison rods, and there are as many as two first-class martial artists under his hands these days. Sui Han Sanyou Mo Zhuzi said that in addition to the staff method, this person's internal skills are also extraordinary. Unfortunately, no one has been able to force their hole cards these days. ”
"Nanquan Hongqi, a person from Guangdong, is good at making iron line boxing, waist and horse unity, and the lower plate is stable. After smelting the essence of Kaishan boxing, the fist is fierce and unmatched, no one can face its edge, and it has been crisscrossing the coastal provinces for many years. ”
"Tan Qing of the North Leg, a person from Shandong, integrates the iron leg skill and the chain leg into one, and creates his own twelve Tan legs, the leg method is fierce, like a windmill, and the attack is endless."
"These four people are also considered to be strong in the first-class, especially the north-legged Tan Qing, the odds opened by the Silver Hook Gambling House are the lowest, buy one and lose two!"
"If you are interested, you might as well go together."
The storyteller points to the West.
Where the Silver Hook Gambling House is located. The gambling house was originally forbidden by the imperial court, but this silver hook gambling house is the only one that spreads all over the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and it has a good reputation.
"Old Liutou, you work so hard, didn't you collect the hook money from the gambling house?" A guest asked with a smile.
"How existent is the Silver Hook Gambling House, why do you need my old Liu Tou to help it become famous, but this matter is rare in a hundred years, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? When we went to war, we didn't have the strength; But it's still feasible to spend some money and have fun. ”
"Alright, alright! Don't talk about fiction, in addition to these four people, are there any other masters?! ”
"Naturally, there is."
Lao Liu Tou took a puff of cigarette and counted the first-class casual cultivation masters who had recently appeared in Zhenjiang one by one.
That's twenty-four!
The teahouse is at a small table in the corner, and there are old and two young people sitting.
The old man had a bright hair, holding a green mouth cigarette stick, and looked kind. It's just that when he squints, when others touch his gaze, there is an indescribable chill.
The girl is dressed in pale green, with a melon seed face, beautiful and glamorous, with double ponytails and two bells hanging around her waist, which makes a jingling crunch sound when she moves.
The young man is handsome and beautiful, and he is clever in his bones, but he covers it with his hands from time to time.
After hearing the storyteller talk about the twenty-four masters, the young man couldn't help but be a little worried: "Those people are so powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to provoke." ”
"Brother Tian, you don't have to worry, they are definitely not grandpa's opponents." The girl Ding Jue replied arrogantly.
"But ......"
The young man is none other than Shi Zhongyu who has absconded all the way from the Snow Mountain Sect.
didn't dare to use his real name, for fear of being tracked by the Snow Mountain Faction, so he assumed the pseudonym Shi Potian. Falsely claimed that he was hunted down and killed for offending the Snow Mountain faction for a trivial matter.
Relying on rhetoric and good looks, Ding Jue's heart was deceived, and he also hugged Ding Jue's grandfather Ding Busan's thigh.
"Boy, do you think I'm no match for these dirty chickens and dogs?!" Ding Busan glanced at Shi Zhongyu angrily.
He is an old Jianghu, and the jade in the stone is a kind of gold and jade that is ruined on the outside, so he naturally can't get into his eyes.
To put it mildly, this kind of swinger brother, if one of them is a full castration, the world will be peaceful.
It's a pity that after all, I couldn't persuade my granddaughter Ding Jue hard.
