After spending dozens of taels of silver, Zhang Xucai finally purchased all the materials.

When he returned to the restaurant, he found that the entire restaurant was almost full of people, and the whole hotel was noisy, laughing, fist-fighting, arguing, and toasting.

Looking at the dresses of these people, I think most of them are here to participate in the martial arts conference.

Zhang Xu was a little interested in this martial arts conference, and looked at the people in this hotel, so he wanted to inquire about the news.

So he put his things back in his room and went to a remote corner.

There are three tables here, the other two are already full, and the remaining one has only two people.

Zhang Xu came to the table where there were still vacant seats, looked at the two of them and said, "Two, the rest of the place is full of people, can you share a table?" ”

The two of them glanced at Zhang Xu, both of them were a little surprised, after all, short-haired Taoist priests are still rare.

"Yes." One of them nodded.

"Thank you very much." Zhang Xu arched his hand, and then pulled a stool and sat down.

"Poor Dao Zhang Xu, I don't know what to call the two of you?"

After ordering wine and food, waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Xu smiled at the two.

"Kong Feng."

"Liu Zheng."

These two people don't have any fights, and they are quite friendly to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu pointed to the place full of people and asked, "I heard that this Wuxiu County is going to hold a martial arts conference in the past few days, but Poor Dao is a little interested, I wonder if you can tell me?" ”

The two of them were surprised when they heard Zhang Xu's words, Kong Feng smiled: "I didn't expect you, a short-haired Taoist priest, to be interested in martial arts matters, it's really rare."

"But it's not a secret, two months ago, Lin Xing, the leader of our Chenzhou Martial Arts Alliance, suddenly issued an edict to hold a biennial martial arts conference in this Wuxiu County.

"As soon as the Lord of the Lin League gave an order, the experts of the entire Chenzhou martial arts came here one after another, preparing to participate in the martial arts conference in half a month."

Hearing Kong Feng's explanation, Zhang Xu was thoughtful.

He also has some understanding of the political landscape of this world these days.

There is a Great Zhou Dynasty in this world, and it has been more than 350 years since the founding of the country.

Now that the Zhou Dynasty has declined, according to the law of dynastic cycles, it should be in the last period.

The emperor gradually lost control of the place, and all the princes rose together, although they all worshiped Emperor Zhou as the co-lord of the world on the surface, but more often they listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Among them, there were five of the strongest princes, namely the kings of Chu, the kings of Qi, the kings of Liang, the kings of Yan, and the kings of Wu.

Today's world, to a certain extent, is the five kings competing for hegemony, temporarily forming a delicate balance, and when one side comes out and defeats the other princes, then the world may change hands.

Chenzhou, where Wuxiu County is located, is a state in the Chu State, and a state is equivalent to a county understood by Zhang Xu.

"The martial arts alliance leader of Chen Prefecture, so that other states also have martial arts alliance leaders?" Zhang Xu asked again.

Liu Zheng on the side replied: "That's right, the entire Chu State and the martial arts world are divided into five forces.

"In addition to our Chenzhou League, there are also the Northern League, the Qin League, the Zhangzhou League and the Southern League, don't look at our Chenzhou League's territory is the smallest, but our Lin League master is the first person in the martial arts of Chu State.

"He has single-handedly suppressed the entire Chu State martial arts for more than a few years, and it can be said that everyone knows it, and among the five alliances, our Chenzhou League is the most united."

Speaking of this, a touch of pride appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

"Hehe, listening to your words, I have gained a lot of knowledge." Zhang Xu said with a smile.

Kong Feng said with a smile: "You Taoist priest is very interesting, in the past, those ascetics looked down on us practitioners, and were ashamed of us old and rude, but I didn't expect you to be interested in these." ”

"Haha, Poor Dao also wants to fight the sword world, and act chivalrous and righteous, shouldn't a good man be like this!" Zhang Xu laughed.

"That's right, a good man should be ambitious in all directions, you, a Taoist priest, have an appetite for me, come, come, come, let's have a drink!" Kong Feng also laughed.

At this time, Zhang Xu's wine and food had been served, he picked up the wine glass, toasted, and then drank it all.

"Okay, happy!" Liu Zheng clapped his hands and praised.

"I met the two of you as before, I invited this meal, come, eat, eat." Zhang Xu picked up the chopsticks and greeted the two.

"Thank you very much."

After hearing this, the eyes of the two suddenly lit up, and then thanked them with a smile.

Having someone to treat you to a treat is very good for martial arts people like them who are not wealthy.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, looking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, Zhang Xu exhaled lightly.

This meal is a lot of food, but it is also worth it, he learned a lot of martial arts things from Kong Feng and Liu Zheng.

"By the way, I heard from one person that this martial arts conference is related to Shanbao, do you know what this Shanbao is?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Shanbao?!"

Hearing Zhang Xu's words, both of them were shocked, and then Kong Feng hurriedly said, "Daoist, where did you hear about it?" ”

"Hehe, a few days ago, right here." Zhang Xu pointed to the ground.

Kong Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If it's really a mountain treasure, then it can explain the location of this martial arts conference."

"Daoist, don't you know, ten years ago, a monster appeared in this Wuxiu County, it was shaped like an ape, but it was covered with blood-red hair, and its body was very large, about one zhang high.

"As soon as this monster was born, it caused a lot of turmoil, and according to legend, this monster guarded a treasure that could make people immortal.

"At that time, the people of the martial arts called this thing a mountain treasure, and many martial arts masters went to seize it, but they were all killed by monsters, and then I don't know what happened, the monster disappeared, and even with the mountain treasure, it also disappeared."

"Blood Ape!"

Hearing Kong Feng's words, Zhang Xu's expression froze, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Blood ape, hehe, this title is appropriate, if this mountain treasure appears again, I think the blood ape should also appear, I'm afraid it will be another bloody storm at that time." Liu Zheng on the side took a sip of wine and couldn't help sighing.

Kong Feng sneered: "Even if there is really a mountain treasure, it will not be our turn, those famous and decent people, I'm afraid they have already prepared the means." ”

"yes, I just don't know if this time it will be as they wish." Liu Zheng nodded.

Zhang Xu said: "It's human beings who want to live forever, it's normal for people, but the birth of this blood ape may cause unnecessary killing." ”

The two bowed their heads one after another, agreeing with Zhang Xu's words.

Zhang Xu said again: "Since the two of you are martial arts people, you should know this martial arts cheat, is there any way to get this cheat?" ”

"Martial arts cheats? Daoist, you are also an ascetic, how can you see those cheats in the martial arts when you cultivate the way of immortal law? Kong Fengqi said.

Zhang Xu replied: "The so-called art is not pressing, and if you have more skills, you may be able to save your life at a critical moment." ”

"Well, it makes sense, but this martial arts cheat is not so easy to find, this is the root of a martial artist's life, and most people are reluctant to sell it." Kong Feng replied.

Liu Zheng said: "That being said, but I have a way, that is, I need a lot of money." ”

"Oh! Let's talk about it. When Zhang Xu heard this, he hurriedly replied.
