After a long call, Duanyang came. On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the sun is blue and sunny.

At the beginning of the day, people from all walks of life who had already been looking forward to it went on the road one after another, converging into a stream of "torrents" from all directions towards the Xian Wangfu.

In this "hoeing and rape conference", Qingfeng issued hundreds of "hero posts" in the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance. Anyone who is qualified to receive the "Hero Post" is all a famous and powerful person in the rivers and lakes.

In other words, there were only more than 100 people who were invited. Even if you count their retinue disciples, there are only two or three thousand people in total.

However, the actual situation was very different from Qingfeng's expectations.

Since the early hours of the morning, the Xianwang Mansion has been brightly lit, and people have come and gone. When the dawn is approaching, in front of the Xianwang Mansion is a horse-swallowing cart, and the canopy is gathered.

Last night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned, sleepless all night?

Heroes and heroes from all over the world "stuffed" almost all the "gaps" within a radius of three or five miles. Thousands of heads are crowded, crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless...... There is no end to the crowd at a glance, let alone tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

It doesn't matter the size or size of the guests. Just talking about today's bustling and bustling, Luo Tianjin was there almost every year when he was alive. But since he was killed, such a buzz has become very rare.

In the final analysis, today's prosperity is still not the prosperity of the Xianwang Mansion, but because Qingfeng is in the "Martial Arts Alliance".

At this moment, hidden in the flowers, the people behind the laughter and joy are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold, which can't help but make people sigh and sigh.

Those who have not received the "Hero Post" mean that they are not qualified to enter the Xianwang Mansion, and can only gather outside the mansion in a hurry.

As for the people who got the "Hero Post", they were all under the opening of their own disciples, holding their heads high, walking through the crowd proudly, and swaggering to step on the thirteenth-level white marble steps in front of the Xianwang Mansion in the eyes of envy and jealousy around them.

At this moment, the "hero post" in their hands is not only a certificate of invitation, but also represents the superior status of the rivers and lakes and the great honor of being proud of the others.

Although the rivers and lakes are not temples, they still divide people into three, six, nine and so on.

It's just that the ranks in the rivers and lakes are not as clearly divided into one, two, and three grades as the imperial court. Instead, it is vaguely replaced by other factors such as teachers, seniority, martial arts, virtue, power, wealth, and connections.

However, the essential difference between "people on people" and "people on people" has not changed in any way. Compared with the official rank of the temple, the dignity and humility of the rivers and lakes are even more than equal.

The ugliness of human nature will not be different because of different identities, but will only be disguised differently because of different positions. But in the end, it's just a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

Of course, it has never been the style of people in the rivers and lakes to be obedient and conformist.

Therefore, some "thorns" who did not receive the "hero post" but were resentful began to incite the crowd and wait for an opportunity to make trouble.

They rushed up the jade steps in groups and scrambled towards the gate, trying to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Xian Wang's mansion.

If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three...... Gradually, more and more people are joining the ranks of "unruly". The surging crowd easily broke through the barrier of the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, making Su Tang and Luo Qi, who were greeted in front of the door, overwhelmed and complained.

Even if they shout in their throats, it is difficult to maintain proper order in the noisy and chaotic situation.

"Old Luo, beware of someone who is confused!"

"It's not terrible, but what is terrible is that if we continue to make trouble like this, the 'hoeing conference' that was originally scheduled to start at the beginning of the hour will definitely be affected and forced to postpone. ”

"Delay?" Su Tang looked at the crowd you pushed me, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't want to stop for three days and three nights......

"Bastard, how dare you break into the Xianwang Mansion without a 'hero post'?"

"We ...... We're just impulsive, I hope the seventh master won't blame ......"

"Where did the scoundrels come from? How dare you go wild here! You can enter and exit when you want, what kind of place are you in the palace of the virtuous king?"

"The eighth master is angry, we know our mistakes! We know our mistakes......"

Just when there was chaos in front of the door, there was a sudden loud shout from the house, followed by a sincere and frightened defense.

Before the dozen or so men who had just taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Xianwang Mansion had time to be complacent, they hurriedly withdrew from the mansion in a hurry while pounding garlic to make amends in the surprised and stunned eyes of everyone.

They were followed by Murong Bai and Deng Quan, who were sinking like water, and the two Taoist masters of the Wudang faction, Gu Ri and Gu Yue.

As soon as the four of them appeared, Su Tang and Luo Qideng, who were busy and anxious, showed ecstasy on their faces, and hurriedly ordered their disciples to "please" all the people who had gathered in front of the door without a "hero post" to go down the steps.

"Seventh Master, it's not that we deliberately make trouble, but we don't want to miss the once-in-a-century 'hoe conference' in vain. There were bold people in the crowd who took the lead in expressing their dissatisfaction, "The leader of the Qingfeng Alliance is really biased, and the 'hero post' is only sent to those powerful and powerful factions. Could it be that we, the helpless little people, and those rangers who have no sect and no faction, are not considered to be the people of the Central Plains martial arts?"

"I think that at the beginning, when the Qingfeng Alliance leader gathered the heroes of the world to jointly pursue Liu Xunyi, there was no 'favoritism'. Although we are weak and soft-spoken, we also obey the orders of the alliance leader, and we are also dedicated to the pursuit of Liu Xunyi. As the saying goes, 'there is no merit and hard work'. Since we have done our best, we should be allowed to participate in today's 'hoeing conference', otherwise it will be too unfair!"

"Right, it's not fair, it's not fair......"

The outspokenness of a few people is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, which instantly resonates with the majority and sets off an uproar in the crowd.

Suddenly, all kinds of questions, complaints, and even ridicule and abuse came one after another, and there was an endless stream.

Tens of thousands of arguments and shouts shook half of Luoyang City.

What do you say...... Not without reason!"

Murong Bai was condescending, looking around at the impassioned crowd with an expressionless face, and using enough internal strength to make his voice thick and transparent, as bright as a bell. Every word is clear to the ear, echoing between heaven and earth, and it is difficult to disperse for a long time. At the same time, the loud scene gradually quieted down.

For a while, countless indignant and expectant eyes were cast on the four Murong Bai in front of King Xian's mansion.

"It's been less than half an hour since the beginning of the hour, and there is still chaos inside and outside King Kexian's mansion. The Qingfeng Alliance Leader didn't expect that so many friends from the rivers and lakes would come to participate in the 'Hoe Rape Conference'. At the moment, he was both deeply relieved and deeply guilty. It is gratifying that the heroes of the world attach importance to the 'hoeing and rape conference', which means that they attach importance to him, the 'leader of the martial arts alliance'. Guiltily, the situation was chaotic due to insufficient preparation in advance. Murong Bai said unhurriedly, "At this moment, the Qingfeng Alliance Leader does not want to delay the 'Hoe Rape Conference' because of the chaos of order, nor does he want to favor one over the other and increase the gap between the heroes of the world. Of course, he didn't want his friends who didn't receive the 'hero post' to come and return disappointed. ”

"The leader of the Qingfeng Alliance can always think of us, and it is not in vain that we obey his orders. ”

"Yes, we just don't fight for steamed buns, and we don't mean to slander the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance. ”

"I knew that the Qingfeng Alliance Lord wouldn't let us run for nothing......"

Seeing that everyone echoed the voice, Gu Ri and Gu Yue nodded with a smile, but Deng Quan, who was standing on the side, inadvertently showed disdain.

"Therefore, after repeated deliberation by the Qingfeng Alliance Lord and the Xie Mansion Lord, it was decided to move the 'hoe and rape conference' held in the east courtyard of the Xianwang Mansion to the bluestone square in front of the Xianwang Mansion. ”

As for this, Murong Bai suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the "Liuli Archway" surrounded by the crowd of cars and horses, and said loudly: "Just under this 'Purple Qi from the East' archway, I hope you will take the initiative to back down, so that more friends in the rivers and lakes can witness this ...... A once-in-a-century 'hoe conference'. ”

After saying that, Murong Bai glanced at Deng Quan, Gu Ri, and Gu Yue, and with a wave of his hand, more than 100 disciples of the Xian Wangfu led by Lin Fangda, and dozens of Wudang disciples led by Zheng Songren rushed out of the Xian Wangfu, and before the surrounding crowd reacted, they had already cleared the scene in a big way.

With a burst of whispering, with the "glazed archway" as the center, the crowd within a radius of ten zhang was forced to retreat again and again. More than ten disciples of the Xianwang Mansion hurriedly came, and swept the messy bluestone square spotlessly with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Pure water splashed on the ground, red carpet mats, east, south, west, and north were separated by one zhang, and the Taishi chairs were neatly placed.

Behind the chair stands a pole flag, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances embroidered with "Wudang", "Shaolin", "Kunlun", "Kongtong", "Emei", "Qingcheng", "Xianwangfu", "Jinjianwu", "Jiangnan Lufu", "Shuzhong Tangmen", "Hexi Qin", "Xiangxi Teng Clan", "Desperate Valley", "Longxiang Mountain", "Sanyi Gang" and other famous names of the big factions.

Interestingly, there was another Taishi chair next to the seat of the martial arts alliance leader Qingfeng, but the back of the chair was empty, and there was no flag.

This position was specially reserved for Qin Wei by Qingfeng. Due to Qin Wei's special status, it is not suitable to be too ostentatious in Luoyang City under Mongol rule, so there is no tree flag.

The scale of today's "hoe and rape conference" is no less than the "Central Plains Martial Arts Conference" two years ago.

As at that time, there were only a handful of "big people" who were qualified to sit down, and the vast majority of the "nameless" could only stand around from a distance to watch the excitement, so that the entire street in front of the Xian Wang's Mansion was blocked by dense crowds.

The surrounding pavilions, ridges and roofs were all "forcibly occupied" by the surging green forest heroes.

At this moment, they can't even get out of their own doors, let alone report to the officials. can only hide at home and swallow his anger, let the "chirping" and "clangling" above his head, and he is helpless, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"Boom!"

In the midst of the chaos and chaos, half an hour passed in a flash. The sudden sound of the gong suppressed the clouds, which was deafening, and made the scene of boiling and rebellious instantly quiet.

People all trembled and raised their eyes to watch.

For a time, thousands of hot and eager eyes condensed on the solemn gate of the Xianwang Mansion.

Tens of thousands of people held their breath and stared at each other, and the public was silent, and the solemn and strange atmosphere lasted for about half a pillar of incense. Until the friction sound of iron locks and shackles quietly came from the Xian Palace.

Immediately afterwards, a low and slow footsteps sounded from far and near, and everyone's hearts hung high in their throats and eyes.

Hundreds of days and nights are haunted, and his whereabouts are erratic, making the heroes of the world "think about it in the morning" and "haunt the dream" Liu Xunyi...... It's finally here today.

......
