Volume 1 The Southwest Chapter 2 The Beginning of the Conflict
Qingcheng Shangguan Lu took his disciples into the tomb to explore the treasure, and suddenly heard the sound of fighting, everyone quickened their pace, only to see that there were more than a dozen people killed not far ahead, and several people lying on the ground were already unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Shangguan Lu approached to listen carefully, it turned out to be a vendetta between the two factions, the Three Absolute Sects had already gone first, and the Donghai Gang followed all the way, catching up with the violent sneak attack from behind. The reason for the feud between these two factions is well known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, in the spring of last year, the head of the three absolute sects went down the mountain to meet friends, and bought a few rainbow carp through a fishing market, but was forcibly asked by the East China Sea Gang, the head of the three absolute sects is also a violent temper master, and he did not say anything to directly kill and cripple more than ten gangs of the East China Sea Gang, among which the three masters of the East China Sea Gang Xing Zongliang's nephew were killed, and the East China Sea Gang was afraid of the reputation of the head of the Three Uniques, so he has been swallowing his anger.
This time the East China Sea Gang met the three unique doors purely accidentally, originally the three masters of the ship delivered to Huainan, just unloaded the news that there is a strange treasure in Shu, this brought the gang of eight good hands hurried over. The Three Peerless Sects received Qin Zhanxiong's heroic order, and the head of the Panyun Dao specially arranged for the disciples in the sect to go down the mountain to practice, led by Liang Jiao, the double hook master in the door, and seven other disciples, but they didn't want to meet Xing Zongliang here, and this Xing master naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
Three unique gates, as the name suggests, have three uniques, fists, double hooks, and flying claws, these three kinds of martial arts are inherited from the Kongtong faction, but they are not all. The first head of the three peerless sects, that is, the current head of the Panyun Dao, is a disciple of the Kongtong faction, and he is also regarded as the uncle of the current head of the Kongtong faction, this person is obsessed with martial arts, and on the basis of the martial arts of the Kongtong faction, he has added and changed, and after the martial arts are completed, he opened the door and established the school. Originally, it was a great rebellion to betray the master and start a new stove, but the Kongtong faction couldn't beat the Panyun Dao people, and the three martial arts they taught were different from the martial arts of the Kongtong faction, and the matter was finally settled.
At this moment, three more people fell to the ground, although the three peerless sects are martial arts sects, and the disciples are better than the Donghai Gang in terms of martial arts attainments, but after all, most of the disciples have not experienced life and death fighting, and they have little actual combat experience, and the Donghai Gang fights with other gangs all the year round, grabbing the sea area and competing for the fishing market. These two groups of people are fighting for life and death, but the three absolute sects are down, and the disciples under the door have fallen four, and only three people are barely supported under the protection of Liang Jiao, while there are still seven people on the side of the Donghai Gang, only to see a strong man dancing with a single knife and pressing step by step, with momentum like a rainbow! Looking at this momentum, it is to kill the people of the Three Peerless Sects here.
Shangguan Lu turned around and whispered to the disciples: "The Three Peerless Sects are also considered to be martial arts and decency, and we are in danger today, so we should lend a helping hand, and wait for everyone to act and listen to my orders, and do not act rashly." ”
The disciples agreed softly.
The three peerless sects here are struggling to support, the East China Sea Gang has made up their minds to kill, and between the two parties, suddenly a sword light attacked, and the sturdy man hurriedly dodged, and was surprised: "Where did the master come from?!" It's so profound, the sword hasn't arrived, but the sword qi has the meaning of overpowering, and I will make plans when I find out who is coming! ”
When everyone in the Three Peerless Sects saw that the situation had changed, they were very surprised, and the two groups of people stood on both sides and gave up. Shangguan Lu and his disciples appeared, and when they got close to the front, they saw the clothes and appearances of the two groups of people, and the one on the left hand side dressed in purple should be the Three Peerless Sects, the leader of the person was thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a short white face and a short beard, a slightly thin body, holding two eagle-beak hooks, and only looking like a teacher, this person was Liang Jiao; There are six or seven people on the right hand, all dressed in dark blue rivers and lakes, the East China Sea Gang is undoubted, and the leader is the sturdy man with a single knife, Xing Zongliang, the third master, who is in his thirties, eight feet tall, thick eyebrows and broad face, and looks dignified.
Shangguan Lu took half a step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Qingcheng sent Shangguan Lu." Only said these six words, but no one responded for a while, Liang Jiao of the Three Peerless Gate was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Liang Jiao of the Three Peerless Gates, I have seen my predecessors." ”
Over there, Xing Zongliang muttered, it's not good, is it Shangguan Law, who is known as the "Qingsong Gentleman"? After thinking for a while, he clenched his fists and said: "Donghai Gang Xing Zongliang has seen Your Excellency, if there is nothing important, Xing will leave." "This Xing is very happy, just after seeing the face, as soon as he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he was about to leave after checking the dead and wounded, unceremoniously. Shangguan Lu's original intention was also to stop the fight and save the Three Absolute Gates, and he had no intention of fighting him, so he replied: "No." ”
Liang Jiao is also an understanding person, and he didn't say much, and when the Donghai Gang was gone, Liang Jiao bowed his hand to Shangguan Lu and said: "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue, the grace of saving your life is unforgettable." ”
"Master Liang doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and see how the disciples are injured." Shangguan Lu replied.
Liang Jiao heard that he was no longer more polite, and hurriedly went to check the injuries of the disciples, the four people on the ground were already powerless and lifeless, and the remaining three were all injured, although Liang Jiao's martial arts were on par with Xing Zongliang, but because of the distraction to save the disciples, he also suffered multiple knife wounds, and when they applied Jinchuang medicine, stopped the bleeding and treated the wounds, Liang Jiao decided to follow the Qingcheng faction to act together.
The Three Absolute Gates rested for about a quarter of an hour, and the two factions of Qingcheng and the Three Absolute continued to move forward. This passage has been taken by other people in the rivers and lakes, and the traps along the way have been cracked, so there should be no danger, but everyone is still cautious, and after walking about a stick of incense, they finally saw an obvious light not far ahead.
Along the way, the corpses left by the people of the various factions in advance were shocking and heart-wrenching, and those who were killed by random arrows, pierced by spears, cut into two pieces by blades, bled to death by seven orifices, and burned to scorched corpses, the tragedy of death is indescribable, and the people in the rivers and lakes with martial arts have all ended up like this, and it seems that Qin Zhanxiong is also extremely wise to withdraw the soldiers of the garrison camp. Dozens of people were killed along the way, and the other two passages may also be more auspicious.
Shangguan Lu, Liang Jiao and others followed the light and finally walked to the end of this passage, what caught their eyes was a round arched stone room, which had to be ten zhang square, three or four zhang high, this stone room was repaired and looked like a look, the wall was carved with immortals, spirit animals, flowers and plants, extending to the dome, but the dome was obviously not carved and decorated, and there was a big piece empty, I don't know what happened back then, so that the craftsman gave up halfway. Although this place is not related to the magnificence, it can be regarded as a wonder of the world, which is amazing, and there are many disciples of Qingcheng and the three unique sects.
Tang Sect, Jue Dao Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Bagua Sect and other sects have already arrived here, the original three passages are all leading here, the first to arrive from each other to see that it is the Qingcheng faction arrived, familiar with each other from a distance to say hello. Only about 50 people arrived at the stone chamber, and nearly 200 people died in the passage, either by traps or by vendettas in the rivers and lakes.
This round arched stone chamber is based on the entrance of the Shangguan Law Office, and the symmetrical opposite is a high platform, there are stone steps on both sides of the high platform to pass, the platform is actually a coffin carved in stone, there is a corpse sitting on the right side of the coffin with his back against the wall, and two corpses are lying on the stone steps under the stage, and there are several weapons scattered next to it, there are iron spears, long swords, and nine-ring knives, which are already rusty, and these three corpses can avoid the mechanism to reach here before their deaths, and they are by no means nameless. The entrances of the other two passages are distributed on the left and right of the stone chamber, which is also extremely symmetrical, although this stone chamber is not small, but there is nothing else except the coffin and a few corpses.
Shangguan Lu has had a guess since he learned that the ancient tomb had been discovered in Shuyang Mountain, and at this time, he has determined eight or nine points, and this tomb is very likely to be the arsenal of the Anxi Army of the former dynasty that the Southern Qi Imperial Court has been looking for decades ago!
At this time, there were eight people from the Tang Sect, six people from the Jue Dao Sect, eight people from the Tianjian Sect, five people from the Bagua Sect, nine people from the Qingcheng Sect, four people from the Three Absolute Sect, four people from the King Kong Sect, seven people from the Jianghu Sanren, and only seven people from the Donghai Gang were left in the gang.
The Tang Sect has always been at odds with the Absolute Sword Sect because of the cloth and horse gang business, so the two factions are far apart, one on the left and one on the right; Tianjianmen had business dealings with the Tang Sect, and at this time they stood together with the Tang Sect and talked very happily; The gossip sect has no grievances with various sects, and at the moment they are investigating whether there are any secret organs; The people of the Three Peerless Sects meditated and rested at the entrance of the stone room, and it seemed that they had no intention of fighting for treasures, and the Qingcheng faction was still taking care of them; The Vajra Sect also found a corner to rest, seeing that it meant that it didn't want to have anything to do with the various factions; The seven scattered people were huddled together, ready to work together to win the treasure; The Donghai Gang had gone to the high platform to look at the coffin, as if trying to open the coffin. These people seem to be not interfering with each other and are busy with each other, but in fact, they have been staring at each other secretly for a long time.
The Donghai Gang was trying to open the coffin on the high platform, and the scattered people in the rivers and lakes also surrounded it one after another, and when one of them passed by the corpse next to the coffin, he suddenly stopped, as if he had found something, and pretended to lean over to wipe his boots, but he didn't know what to put in his sleeve.
The Tang Sect was the first to attack, and a bone nail came directly, beating the scattered people in the rivers and lakes, and the things in the sleeves flew out directly, and the Tang Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Bagua Sect, the East China Sea Gang and other people flew to grab it. The closest to them is still those scattered people, these people looked at it, the object in the air was actually a palm-sized stone key, the carved pattern is similar to the coffin, how can you take care of the injured companion, the six people exchanged glances, the five people who were a little far away from the ground reflexively stopped to the periphery, the nearest extremely thin old man in red jumped up, only to see an afterimage flying, the old man had already grabbed the key into his hand. There are people in the rivers and lakes who don't know this old man in red are all shocked, this kind of light body is rare in the world, master!
Seeing that he was about to be besieged by various sects, the old man in red shouted: "Everyone, slow down! It's not too late to listen to the old man's words and then make a move! The people of all factions subconsciously slowed down, but they were not in a hurry to do it.
The Tang Sect took the lead in a middle-aged man, about forty-one or twelve years old, dressed in a dark red robe, slightly short and slightly fat, with a white face, and a bone-piercing nail in his hand, this person was the cousin of Tang Wanxiong, the head of the Tang Sect, Tang Sanyi. Tang Sanyi didn't raise his eyelids when he heard the words of the old man in red, and said contemptuously: "Gongsun Lao'er, let it go quickly, others are afraid of the name of the iron-faced judge, I am not afraid of the Tang Sect, I advise you to hand over the key obediently, Tang can also let you go, otherwise you can get out of this place, and you won't be able to get out of Xichuan!" ”
The origin of this old man in red is not small, people give the nickname "Flying Toad", although it is over the age of sixties, but the spirit is strong, the body is tough, quite like to play the rivers and lakes, his brother is the famous martial arts grandson on the rivers and lakes, known as the "iron-faced judge".
Gongsun Zizi didn't pay attention to Tang Sanyi, and said to himself: "This tomb is very strange, obviously the three tombs are full of traps, and the mechanism is cleverly designed, so strictly guarded, but this tomb is so shabby, don't you think it's weird?" This key was obtained from the corpse, the shape is similar to the coffin, I am afraid that this tomb has another mechanism, why don't we work together to crack the secret here, if there is a treasure that everyone divides equally, why fight and kill. ”
