In 2023, 9 and 30 will be the 13th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

The top of Mount Tai is shrouded in clouds and mist.

The red sun rises slowly from the eastern horizon, forming a morning glow that burns like a flame.

The genius has just dawned, and many martial arts people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have begun to climb the mountain, and came to the square outside the Dai Temple.

There are groups of people in the rivers and lakes who gather together to chat and brag, saying that they have killed ghosts and zombies with one knife by themselves, and there are also warriors who have grievances with each other.

The surrounding people also cooperated, took the initiative to retreat, and gave way to the two of them.

"Humph!"

"Today's martial arts conference is a grand event, I will give you a chance, and when we meet again next time, I will definitely cut off your dog's head!"

Originally, they drew their swords to face each other, but after seeing this situation, they stopped fighting, and each put down a few cruel words and put away their swords.

There are more and more people.

On the empty square outside the Dai Temple, there was a lot of people.

At the edge of the square, outside the gate of the Daimiao Road Palace, there were seven or eight trolleys at some point, some selling breakfast, some selling drinks and fruits, and even some cars selling Taishan's "native products".

These local specialties are said to be bracelets made of some kind of wood from Mount Tai, and the stone is made of nothing, and has passed through the consecration of the Dai Temple "Gaoshi", which has the effect of suppressing evil and avoiding disasters.

"Is this really as godly as you say?"

A young Jianghu warrior stepped forward to pick up a card of nothing to play with in his hand, his eyes revealed a look of wisdom, and said with a smile: "This kind of method is no longer used in scenic spots, you small traders and hawkers, don't look at what the situation is today, you dare to brag!"

The Dai Temple disciple dressed as a hawker glared, snatched back the Nothing Matter card from the young warrior's hand, and scolded, "You young man, you can't afford it, why are you saying these things?"

Ouch I'll go!

The young warrior was so angry that he was immediately aroused and said, "Who said I couldn't afford it?"

The vendor made by the Dai Temple disciple stretched out his hand: "Take out the money!" 80,000 a piece!"

「………」

The young warrior drew his sword angrily and said angrily, "Why don't you grab it? Is this worth 80,000?"

The hawker's eyelids were raised slightly, and he smiled faintly: "The little martial artist in the realm of practicing skin, it is estimated that the transportation of qi and blood is not smooth...... With such a little effort, you dare to draw a knife in front of me?"

The matter here is not over yet, and in the stall next door, a middle-aged martial artist let out a scream like killing a pig-

"A bottle of mineral water is 20 yuan, why haven't you seen any money?"

Hawker: "Love to buy or not, the price is clearly marked, the child is not bullied, you have the ability to go down the mountain to resist the water by yourself?"

Situations like this happened one after another in front of several hawker stalls, and a martial artist found the Taixu Sect and said, "Taixu Zhenren, these black-hearted traders, taking advantage of this martial arts conference in the territory of your Dai Temple, you don't care about it?"

Taixu Palm Sect sighed and said, "It's not easy for the vendors, they have to carry food and water to the mountains, and the effort they expend is unimaginable...... Everyone is a person in the rivers and lakes, and a few hundred or thousands of dollars is nothing to you, but for these hawkers, it is the hope of the family...... I hope you will forgive me."

A warrior was angry and said angrily: "In this case, I will go down the mountain to buy goods and come up to set up a stall!"

This thing is also a short temper, and he really turned around and went down the mountain.

Taixu Zhenren smiled and said, "That's fine, the vendors clearly mark the price, and if you don't feel troublesome, you can go down the mountain and buy it yourself."

He turned around and walked into the Dao Palace.

Taixu Zhenren immediately called a disciple and said, "Did you recognize that bearded man just now? Follow him down the mountain, and tell him not to come up again."

The disciple received the order, immediately made a gesture, and sneered, "Master don't worry, I will tell him to go and never return...... I will never have a chance to climb Mount Tai in my life!"

Taixu Zhenren slapped it and scolded, "How can we Dao disciples kill indiscriminately

Innocent? I mean tell you to knock him out, tie him up and subdue him, and don't let him disturb the business of your brothers and disciples...... Our temple is poor, and we finally have an opportunity to make money, so we must not miss it!"

The disciple should have been, turned around to leave, but was stopped by the Taixu Zhenren, and instructed, "Remember to cover your face, don't let people recognize you."

After sending this disciple away, Taixu Zhenren came to Xu Zhiyuan's resting room, and when he saw Xu Zhiyuan practicing drawing talismans, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are a ghost, what kind of ghost talisman do you do every day?"

Xu Zhiyuan put away the talisman pen and said speechlessly: "I am a human city god who has been sealed by heaven and earth, enjoying the treatment of heaven and hell from the three-grade immortal official, and being worshiped by the incense faith in the world, I am the righteous god of the Eight Classics, how can I be a ghost?"

"You are God...... I know you're God!"

When he mentioned this, Taixu couldn't help but complain: "In the end, there are people up there who are easy to do, I can't figure it out, after you die, you can actually ascend to the sky in one step and become the city god of the world!"

Xu Zhiyuan smiled and didn't say much.

is too empty and old-fashioned, thinking that he is following the relationship of the Pure Ming Dao patriarch "Xu Zu".

But he forgot......

Xu Zu himself is also a second-grade immortal official, and this is because he is an immortal of the Jade Emperor Tongming Palace......

Otherwise, with Xu Zu's strength, it is not certain whether he can mix the three grades in Heavenly Court.

Without continuing the topic, Xu Zhiyuan asked, "What's the situation outside?"

Taixu Palm taught: "There are a lot of people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, but most of them are ordinary martial artists and some grandmasters, and the real masters and major sects have not yet arrived."

Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Those masters and people from the Great Gate Sect are all particular about style, and they won't arrive so early."

About another hour passed.

The people of the Li clan in Longxi have arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the major families, martial arts sects, and Taoist masters climbed the mountain one after another, and Xu Zhiyuan and Taixu Zhenren also walked out of the Dai Temple.

When people in the rivers and lakes meet, it is natural to have a greeting.

Then they went their separate ways and quieted down.

The ancestor of the Li clan stepped forward and said, "Taixu Palm Sect, Mao Palm Sect, Zhang Tianshi, Master Huang, Master Fang, Master Chen...... The Taishan Martial Arts Conference is proposed by you Daimiao, Maoshan, Dragon and Tiger, Xingyi, Bagua, and Wudang, and all parties are invited by the same martial arts...... Since you're all here, why don't you tell me what you think?"

Maoshan's head teacher, "Yimei Dao Chief", got up and came to the temporary ring in the center, first hugged the Li Ancestor, and then apologized to the surroundings, and said, "Senior Li, all the same people in the rivers and lakes."

"The martial arts conference has been a tradition of my Great Xia rivers and lakes since ancient times."

"It has been more than 40 years since the revival of the aura, and my Great Xia Jianghu has experienced more than 40 years of development, and many masters have been born, especially in recent years, the development has been more rapid, a thriving, and there is a reappearance of the glory of ancient martial arts!"

"So I discussed privately with Taixu Zhangjiao, Master Zhang, Master Huang, Master Fang, Master Chen and others, and decided to invite fellow martial artists to hold a martial arts conference.

These words attracted the applause of many martial arts people in the rivers and lakes.

Then.

A martial arts master asked in a loud voice, "Mao Zhangjiao, I heard that this martial arts conference is going to elect a martial arts alliance leader...... Is that the case?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The matter of holding the martial arts conference was publicized by the major leaders on the Jianghu forum.

However, the election of the "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" was not mentioned, but I didn't know who released it in private.

Mao Zhangjiao said with a smile: "Our Great Xia rivers and lakes, martial arts, Taoism, and Buddhism stand side by side, the major sects, families and inheritances are chaotic, and now the world is not peaceful, the ghosts and evil spirits are rampant, and some small overseas countries have even fallen, if we can elect an alliance leader who everyone is convinced, what will happen in the future, our Great Xia rivers and lakes can be regarded as having a backbone."

The Martial Dao Master asked again, "How should I choose that?" It can't be you

The mountains have the final say, right?"

Mao Zhangjiao glanced at this martial arts master.

I know ......

A mere martial arts master, if he dares to speak to himself like this, there must be someone behind him.

But he didn't care, and said with a smile: "The election of the leader of the martial arts alliance is a matter for the entire Great Xia rivers and lakes. This position of the leader of the alliance is related to the future of my Great Xia Rivers and Lakes, and it is naturally jointly elected by all the Jianghu martial arts colleagues!"

"That's right."

Master Chen of Wudang Mountain walked out, hugged his fists in all directions, and said in a loud voice, "The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is the leader of our entire Great Xia, and everyone present is qualified to be elected...... I, Wudang Mountain, thought that Senior Li could take on this responsibility!"

He was wearing a Taoist robe, but unlike most Taoist priests, he was not carrying a peachwood sword, but a Qingfeng sword.

Different from the Taoists of Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Jingming Dao, and Quanzhen Sect, although Wudang Mountain is a Taoist gate, it is a Taoist and martial arts that are grasped with both hands, and the two are developed at the same time, and there are even remarks on the Internet such as "Master Wudang Chen is not a Taoist".

"Ah, this ......."

The ancestor of the Li family, who was originally full of smiles, was suddenly stunned.

He has been out of the customs for a few days, and he knows in his heart that there are now some sects in Jianghe that are very close to the Great Xia official...... This Wudang Mountain is one of them!

He didn't expect that Master Chen of Wudang Mountain would elect him, so he immediately got up and said, "The old man has been self-proclaimed in the cave for hundreds of years, and now he has just come out of the customs, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the world, so it's really difficult to take on this position!"

Master Chen complimented, "Senior Li said that you are the ancestor of the Li family, and the Li family in Longxi is one of the families with the longest inheritance in my Great Xia...... As the ancestor of the Li family, Senior Li, you must have both ability and political integrity, and you are highly respected."

"And in terms of strength, ......"

"You are a land immortal, the top of the world, if you are not qualified to be the leader of this martial arts alliance, then this Great Xia ...... Who is eligible?"

"Chen Zhangjiao's words are wrong!"

A discordant voice came, but it was Master Huang of Xingyi Gate.

Master Huang is wearing a set of black practice clothes, he is practicing martial arts, and his body is restrained and introverted, so that people can't see the depth, but the momentum on his body is invisibly giving people an inexplicable coercion.

He said: "Senior Li is a land immortal, the top of the world, but my Great Xia is not only a land immortal, only one is the top of the world, I think the horse of the Fufeng Ma clan is very suitable to be the leader of the martial arts alliance."

Taixu Zhangjiao spoke up, and said shortly: "I personally think that Cui's predecessor is more suitable."

Master Fang of the Bagua Gate also spoke, electing Fan Yang Lu's family.

However, Zhang Jiyu of Longhu Mountain coughed dryly, and he smiled: "I am in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia, and the three veins of Taoism, martial arts, and Buddhism stand side by side, why do you only choose land immortals, but not Taoist Zhenjun...... Ladies and gentlemen, I can't hide it from each other, there are also a few old ancestors in the cave heaven in my Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion, I think I can also compete for the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

Maoshan frowned, and said, "Master Zhang's words...... Martial Arts League Leader, Martial Arts League Leader...... Naturally, I want to elect martial arts masters, if I say what Zhang Tianshi said, I also have a few ancestors in Maoshan, is it possible that I can also compete for the position of the leader of this alliance?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

An old Taoist stood up and said lightly: "Poor Dao elected me to be the true Dao and honest old man......

The ancestors of the six great families communicated with each other in martial arts, and they were a little confused.

This......

What's the situation?

Seeing that these people were fighting more and more, the ancestor of the Li family immediately came forward to reconcile and said, "Everyone...... Everyone, listen to me."

"Martial Arts Alliance Leader...... Naturally, it is necessary to be convincing in terms of force."

"Since everyone wants to be the leader of this alliance, it just so happens that there is a fight here, why don't you take action and have a fight?"

"I'm for it!"

In the sky, a loud laugh came.

But it was the prince, he flew from the sky, landed on the ring, his hands behind his back, his eyes looked around like lightning, and said with a smile: "This martial arts

The position of the leader of the alliance, I, Wang, also want to sit down, why don't I let Wang take the lead?"
