Chapter 19: The Dinner
Li Zhong poured a sip of grape wine from the Western Regions, although he was drunk, but there were no bright red droplets of wine on the side of his mouth.
I only heard him say drunkenly: "Sect Master Yang, you are still in long-term retreat...... I don't know how long he will sleep. Today's Guanzhong is the ruling of King Zhuxian. ”
At the moment, a group of people from the Valley Gate of Forgetting Worries were greatly relieved, and they wished that Yang Qi would retreat until death like this.
In these years, because of Yang Qi's perennial retreat, the rule of the Great Zhou regime was loose, and the suppression and persecution of the martial arts sect gradually lessened. Everyone thought that if Yang Qi didn't go out, and the Four Pillars Kingdom and the Luo family of the puppet royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty continued to fight openly and secretly, and became a mess, maybe the Daomen would eventually no longer have the ability and mind to step on the head of the warrior and be powerful.
"That's right......" Li Zhong crossed his left hand and made a wine order.
"Thanks to your hospitality, this is a wonderful meal. Li had nothing to repay, so he casually talked about a major event that the envoy heard this time, and talked about it to relieve everyone's shortcomings. ”
Li Zhong spoke, and a group of people pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
"Xue Yiren of Tianzi Peak in Hanzhong finally officially usurped the throne a few months ago, and married his former master into the family and made him his wife, everyone knows, right?" Li Zhong said with a smile.
A scribe said, "Naturally, I know...... In fact, more than ten years ago, this guy had successfully usurped the throne, but he put his master under house arrest until now, and his young and beautiful master and mother were secretly occupied by him for so many years, and their children gave birth to a pair...... "This person is the deputy valley master of the Valley of Forgotten Worries, Liu Xiankai."
At this point, everyone burst out laughing.
Tianzi Peak and Shentang, as well as the great faction of the warriors of the time, are all nominally loyal to the Holy King Dao Sect. The sphere of influence of Tianzi Peak is in the Hanzhong region between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, while the sphere of influence of Shentang is in Sanchuan County and Nanyang County in the west of Yuzhou, and there are also a few tribes in Bingzhou, and the Valley of Forgetting Worries is one of them.
At first glance, the control area of the Divine Hall is much larger than that of Tianzi Peak. However, the western part of Yuzhou was originally the ruling center of the Great Wei Dynasty, after Yang Qi's bloodbath, the population suffered heavy losses, and the prosperity was scattered like the wind, and it is far from recovering the old view.
The number of disciples in the Divine Hall is also far less than that of Tianzi Peak, so it is only scattered in a large area of land in the western part of Yuzhou, and it is impossible to control the entire area. The official forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the powerful clans in various places, and even the forces from the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty are intertwined here like dogs' teeth with the main hall of the Shentang and various tribes.
Therefore, in terms of strength, the Divine Hall is actually far inferior to Tianzi Peak.
And between the Divine Hall and Tianzi Peak, there is a difference in the understanding of martial arts.
The Shentang is a vein of Shenwu, and it is believed that if you exercise **, make good use of armor, and achieve the realm of unity between people and weapons, you can be invincible, and even shatter the void. And Tianzi Peak is a vein of qi and martial arts, and believes that true qi is more important, and only by sweeping with true qi can he be invincible.
Both sides believe that they are the descendants of the Martial Ancestor, and both can find arguments to support them from the scattered and fragmented "Martial Classics". Shentang thinks that no matter how strong the true qi is, the effect of leaving the body is far less than the flying sword of the cultivator, and it is not as good as the bow and crossbow and hidden weapons, so the true qi out of the body can only be used as an auxiliary at most, and Tianzifeng thinks that only attacking with ** and weapons, how can it be invincible and invincible? Only by relying on the surging true qi out of the body can there be no dead ends.
Maybe in the eyes of cultivators, this is as funny as a barbarian fight over whether to break the big head or the small head first in order to eat eggs, but the contradiction between Tianzi Feng and Shentang has become more and more intensified because of this, and they have almost become mortal enemies. However, the cultivation of the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and demons is rare because of a little difference in doctrine and splits into many factions and fights for thousands of years?
Now when they hear the ugly story of Xue Yiren, the real power of Tianzi Peak, everyone will also laugh in their hearts.
I only heard Xiao Crazy sing: "Such ugly and ugly deeds are really unbearable to look at." ”
Including Wu Feng, who hadn't spoken much, also showed a faint smile with him.
But in his heart, he didn't think so.
Xue Yiren's origin is extremely mysterious. Some people say that he is a monk who broke his vows and escaped from the monastery, and some people say that he was born as an oil seller.
Although Tianzi Peak has many disciples, it pays attention to the inheritance of bloodline, and the head of the family has always been controlled by the ancient famous Ying clan, but it cannot effectively centralize power, and various aristocratic and wealthy families have been formed internally, and there is a tendency to be big.
When Xue Yiren mysteriously appeared, he already had a superb martial arts with amazing skills, and he took an art engineer, worshiped Ying Wuji, who was only ten years older than himself, as a teacher, cultivated power for him, acted as a killer, eliminated dissidents, killed countless people, and stained his clothes with blood, so he was also called the bloody man.
Ying Wuji was just the deputy head of Tianzi Peak at the beginning, but under the single-handed planning of Xue Yiren, Ying Wuji successfully defeated his brother Ying Wuji, forced him to abdicate, and put his brother under house arrest.
Although Ying Wuji's ability is not strong, and he is not a complete mediocre talent, he is actually quite defensive against Xue Yiren, but Xue Yiren defeated Ying Wujian without much effort, and Ying Wujian was happy for a long time, and he was placed under house arrest like his brother.
Ying Wuji's young and beautiful wife was also forced to separate from Xue Yiren, and was actually forcibly occupied by Xue Yiren, and gave birth to a pair of children for Xue Yi.
In the past ten years, Xue Yiren has not killed the Ying brothers, nor has he officially ascended to the position of the head of Tianzi Peak.
The reason is that the head of Tianzi Peak is held by the Ying clan, which has become a custom, and the Xue Yi people directly seize the throne, and they will inevitably be resisted by various tribes and besieged. Therefore, he still uses the Ying brothers as puppets to this day.
It can be seen that this person is scheming.
In Wu Feng's opinion, a person like Xue Yiren can certainly be called vicious, but it is really inappropriate to call him ugly with such skill and ability.
At this time, Li Zhong's long smile interrupted Wu Feng's thinking: "Xue Yiren has just officially usurped the throne, and the Ying brothers have fled...... Hahahaha!"
"At this juncture, the Ying brothers escaped?" Liu Xian said: "In this way, Xue Yiren should be in trouble!"
"Not bad. Li Zhong said: "Boss Ying fled to Guanzhong and asked to send troops to crusade against the usurper thief Xue Yiren. And the second brother also defected to Su Mengzhen, the hall master of your main hall. Now, both sides have agreed to the request, and they will soon join forces to attack!"
"Great! Thank you Brother Li so much for bringing this news!" Xiao Madge said happily: "The hall master led the troops to crusade against Xue Yiren with the Guanzhong side, then the power of Tianzi Peak will inevitably be greatly weakened. At the same time, our Divine Hall has made great contributions, and its status within the Great Zhou will definitely be greatly improved. ”
A group of Forgotten Valley elders echoed one after another.
Wu Feng sighed secretly in his heart, what is there to be happy about the internal friction of the martial artist, could it be that the warrior has ten times the number of cultivators, but can only be attached to the cultivators forever?
Next, everyone at the banquet talked about the contemporary god hall master Su Mengzhen.
Su Mengzhen is young and promising, and can be called the master of the Shentang generation. It's a pity that there is no son, only one daughter, named Su Lanjin, who is only eleven years old now.
Su Mengzhen also has a female disciple, named Ji Hongyan, fifteen years old this year, is also famous for her beauty, and Su Chaojin is known as the Shentang Shuangshu, and the talent is extremely high, the spear technique, the skill is almost the Tao, at the age of twelve, he once single-handedly swept the Yellow River Qishui Village, killing more than 100 bandits. This girl is really a man, but she is also famous for her courage and resourcefulness, and she is not worthy of the position of commander, otherwise, Su Mengzhen may consider choosing her as her successor.
Su Mengzhen's current chosen heir is his adopted son Su Can. Su Can is the son of Su Mengzhen's cousin, with a quiet personality, gentle and elegant, and also a little wise.
But Su Mengzhen often sighed: "This son can't satisfy me in the end." My heir, to have the ancient celebrities, as the so-called 'crazy and chivalrous real celebrities, can cry and sing vulgar streams', if a man is not a little frivolous and reckless, how can he do great things!"
Su Can, the humble son in the eyes of most people, is still too childish in the eyes of Su Mengzhen.
Wu Feng found that when Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes began to flash.
Yuan Shu was thinking that after going to the main hall for further study, he would replace Su Can and become Su Mengzhen's heir, and he also had the idea of being a double master of the Divine Hall.
It's not possible, it's certain.
What about me?Wu Feng thought.
His father taught him the way of a gentleman to calm down and control anger since he was a child.
However, Wu Feng's cognition is actually different from his father's in many places. He always felt that there was a fire in his heart, but he was just forcibly suppressed by himself.
He once said to Yun Hailan that the edge will be sent out in time, but he doesn't know what kind of appearance he will show when he dares to release the edge in his body and let it break through the tight shell! Is it a fire in the plain, or a cross-flowing sea?
But at this moment, a wave of pride suddenly rose from his heart.
Like a long rainbow, straight through the nine skies!
He had a mysterious feeling that the position of the heir should be his own. This kind of premonition seems to come from a previous life, and it seems to come from another world.
Although he didn't even get the opportunity to go to the main hall for further study, he felt that there was always another way to get Su Mengzhen's approval. After all, the road is underfoot.
Of course, he didn't have any thoughts about Su Mengzhen's daughter and apprentice, who were famous for their beauty, and he didn't know how to deal with Mengqiwu's matter alone.
Wu Feng remembered the wonderful feeling when he looked at Li Xun before.
If that kid and I are destined to become rivals, God should always give me a stage. Wu Feng thought so.
