Chapter 285: Sit and Talk
The "Gathering of Heroes" conference is an event with a long history.
The Heroes Club was first funded by the Dao family, in order to highlight the prestige of the family, and later became a grand event in Yuanyang City jointly sponsored by the Dao, Xu, and Ma families, aiming to enhance the influence of the three families, and at the same time recruit and absorb talents for the family, which also secretly has the meaning of competing strength.
For the Xiuzhen sect and the majority of monks in and around Yuanyang City, especially the scattered cultivators, this is a platform to show themselves, not only to make a name for themselves at the meeting, to strive for better resources and outlets, but also to win glory for the sect, and also to exchange with each other and buy and sell goods.
Top masters are not often present, and the truly heavyweight cultivators in the southwest and other regions rarely participate, but as far as Yuanyang City is concerned, the Heroes Association is the largest and most lively large-scale public gathering, often attracting thousands of monks to participate, and the general public is even more regarded as a festival.
The organization and rules of the Heroes Club are rather scattered, and they are not exactly the same every time, and there is no strict competition system and ranking system.
The venue will be divided into many venues, and the cultivators will gather on their own, as long as someone proposes a way to compete and someone responds to it, so the way is flexible and varied, it can be an unlimited life-and-death struggle, or it can be a special competition for spells, formations, magic weapons, and even debate Taoism, etc., of course, the trading of various exercises and magic methods and rare treasures and other cultivation resources can be seen everywhere.
Although there is no competition for rankings, the three companies have set up more or less rewards for each competition, and the few are only symbolic, and if you can win in a row or persist until the end, the rewards are also very generous.
There is no referee supervision in any competition, there are no unified rules, and sometimes the outcome is not determined, and the three are only responsible for maintaining order.
Although it is not strict and standardized, on the contrary, this relaxation of rules has won the favor and support of the monks, and there are generally no people who make trouble under the pretext of making trouble.
The Heroes Club is held irregularly, sometimes for a year, sometimes for two years, but this time it is only after a gap of three years, and it is bound to be even more lively.
These were all things that Shang Jinshu later told them.
Shang Jinshu said that he asked them to help, and there was a polite element in it, and he would not take the initiative to pull them into the game, so he did not mention this matter at the time, and now that the disciples of Vientiane Sect are willing to participate, he is also happy to see it.
After getting these news, after the ten people played in the city for another day, they were preparing to practice in the merchant's residence, and Lin Xianjing also began to read and analyze the intelligence information provided by the merchant.
The day before the opening of the conference, the big guys were meditating in the hall, and the sound of an alarm came from the storage bag in Lin Xian's arms.
Shang Jinshu is a big businessman.,The things that shoot are not ordinary.,The sound transmission device given is a high-end product.,In addition to daily communication use,In case of emergency, it can be triggered by breath.,And send back location information.。
Otherwise, there would not have been no contact, but a direct and automatic warning.
After asking someone to inform Shang Jinshu, everyone went out and immediately set off to the place where the accident occurred.
When I arrived at the place, it was a small building in the middle of nowhere, but facing the street, and there was no sign on the door. It is important to save people, Yi Liunian kicked open the door, and everyone broke in.
There were people inside, and there were many of them, and when they broke into the door for no reason, they didn't explain a few words, and they started to do it in two clicks.
There was a jingling of beatings, the furniture and utensils in the hall were destroyed a lot, and the disciples of the Vientiane Sect had the upper hand and hit the second floor, at this time, several masters came out and stopped everyone, and the situation was even more tense.
Just about to fight again, Shang Jinshu hurried after getting the letter, and immediately asked the two sides to stop after entering the door, someone on the other side recognized Shang Jinshu, and soon, a woman walked out of the inner room.
This female green skirt is swaying to the ground, with a good temperament, pink and peach cheeks, a pair of apricot eyes as bright as autumn water, except for being slightly fat, there are no obvious flaws in her appearance and figure.
As soon as she saw Shang Jinshu, the corners of her mouth and eyes curved at the same time, and she said, "What kind of wind blew Shang Dashao here? This wind is not small, and the roof furniture can't help it." ”
Shang Jinshu hugged his fists: "The second girl of Gongsun is good." This is definitely a misunderstanding. Come, let me introduce to you, this is the second lady of the Gongsun family among the four major merchants in Xianzhou, Gongsun Xixi, you Vientiane Gate first explain the reason, lest the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple. ”
The situation of the Gongsun family and the merchant is similar, and it is also a long-term poor operation in the southwest area, so it was decided to send Gongsun Xixi to lead a team to come in person in order to reverse the situation.
The merchant and the Gongsun family are competitors, but the relationship between the two is acceptable, and the two certainly know each other.
Shang Jinshu was busy after he came, knowing that Gongsun Xixi was also in Yuanyang, but he hadn't had time to make an appointment, after he heard the news, he knew that this was the territory of Gongsun's family, so he hurriedly came over to reconcile.
Lin Xianjing immediately explained the reason.
Gongsun Xixi's subordinates shouted: "Nonsense, there is no such thing, let alone this person, you are mistaken." ”
Gongsun Xixi is also a shrewd and meticulous character, and after a while, he said: "This place is one of your residences and warehouses, which we have rented for a long time, and I remember that the owner of the house lives in the underground warehouse, so it shouldn't be him." Check!"
The subordinates quickly came up and reported: "The second lady has a really good memory, the owner of the house is a loose cultivator, called Wang Jinbiao, and the guard at the back door said that someone came to look for him last night and stayed there, and these two people went out not long ago." ”
Gongsun Xixi was reading the recent information in his hand at the moment, and took out a photo and said: "Yes, you said that the person's name is Ping Rongce, right, this person was just issued a yellow pursuit warrant by the Xu family a few days ago, and if it is expected, it should be Wang Jinbiao who was greedy for a bounty and sold the person to the Xu family." ”
Things are not far from ten.
Ping Sujian is not good at socializing, but he also has three close friends in Yuanyang City, and Ping Rongce is looking for these three people to understand the situation. One of them went out to travel, he pounced, the second person was timid and afraid, closed the door and did not see, after finding here, Wang Jinbiao was very enthusiastic, and stayed in Pingrongce.
Wang Jinbiao's nature is not bad, and he has a solid relationship with Ping Sujian, but he has a problem with gambling, and he has been unlucky and in debt recently, if he is not afraid of the Gongsun family, he will even mortgage this ancestral house.
After the Wuping Array Dao Sect discovered that Ping Rongce was missing, although there was no evidence, Ping Rongce happened to disappear after the disciples of the Vientiane Gate came to the door to make an appointment, and the Vientiane Gate could not escape the suspicion of the melon field and Li Xia.
The Ping family guessed that one of the possible destinations of Ping Rongce was to go to Yuanyang City to avenge their uncle, so they notified the Xu family they were attached to, and the Xu family issued a pursuit warrant to the forces to which they belonged, offering a reward for the capture of Ping Rongce.
When Wang Jinbiao learned of this, he was called on by the creditor every day, and in desperation, he decided to sell Ping Rongce for the sake of a reward.
Ping Rongce's formation cultivation is not weak, but he neglected to take precautions against Wang Jinbiao, so he set his way, but fortunately, he activated the device alarm before being restrained.
The matter was explained, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Lin Xian apologized.
Gongsun said awkwardly: "It's okay, if you don't fight, you don't know each other." Since you are friends with Jinshu Dashao, the yellow arrest warrant is not a very high level of killing, and the matter is still in my Gongsun's house, tomorrow is the day of the Heroes' Association. ”
Lin Xian was surprised to thank Gongsun Xixi, they were all people of the same generation and about the same age, after the hall was cleaned up, everyone sat together and got to know each other again.
Early the next morning, everyone went to the venue of the Heroes.
Shang Jinshu had his own special person to receive him, and Xu Wuyi also sent his subordinates to wait for Lin Xianjing and his party at the door, and first led them around, the venue was full of people coming and going, and the venue occupied a vast area, and after only a part of the shopping, they came to a pavilion.
Xu Wuyi was already waiting inside, as one of the hosts, he had served tea, and after passing the name, he laughed: "It's better to meet by chance, Xu Mou was originally a thought, I don't want you to be a famous brother, Vientiane Gate has been in the limelight recently, which makes me look forward to today's discussion." ”
Lin Xian exclaimed: "It's easy to say, each other." I heard that the eldest prince Xu is both civil and military, I see that this place is called sitting and talking about the Taoist Pavilion, I don't know how to learn from it?"
Xu Wuyi said: "The mind is in the cultivation, the body is in the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable to move the hands. ”
"However, presumably Brother Lin has also inquired, and the group of heroes will be informal. I miss the southwest, the martial style is brilliant, and the literary style is even more prosperous. You and I are not laymen, how can we fight and kill as soon as we come up, it is better to gather together and sit together and talk about the Tao first, if you first discuss the Tao and discuss the Fa, wouldn't it be happy? ”
Lin Xian was shocked: "It's very agreeable, my brothers and I are good at this, and I want to ask for a word or two." Since Brother Xu is the landlord, please ask for a proposition. ”
Xu Wuyi took a sip of the strong Pu'er tea, and opened and closed the folding fan in his hand: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I think it's better to take my fan as the theme, and each write a poem, and warm up the field first." ”
Xu Wuyi's fan is white feathers for the bone, brocade is the face, and the front and back sides are painted with pine cranes, which are not too unique in shape, but at the same time of decoration and play, it is also a powerful spiritual treasure.
Lin Xian was surprised that he wouldn't say it first, and said after pondering: "The fan is close at hand, and it implies a thousand things." Good topic. Then he groaned:
Plain is a natural color, and the shape is due to the cutting work.
It is like a loose tree, and it floats like a crane in the air.
There is no snow in midsummer, and there is endless wind all year round.
In the hands of Qiu Sheng, the moon is hidden in his arms.
The tail spot is not boiled, and the palmetto is different.
Who is called relative, thin and white-bearded.
"Good poetry!" Xu Wuyi shouted:
"Loosen up the crane and turn it, lead the autumn to hide the moon. My fan is indeed called 'Daqian at hand', sweeping away the heat of the world and bringing back the coolness of the sky. Brother Lin's poems are both freehand and realistic, and listen to me!
The wind comes out of the fan, and asks where the wind comes from.
The wind does not know itself, and should ask about space again.
If emptiness is a wind hole, it is the same as the object.
The emptiness of the same thing is the non-wind sect of things. ”
Lin Xian was shocked and praised: "It's groundless. Brother Xu's poems, from the common image, ask questions and see elegance, full of philosophy, wonderful. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, a spark in their eyes.
Xu Wuyi said: "Sure enough, it's a good opponent! Next, let's sit down and talk about it." I am the main field, in order to show fairness, there is a tube here, which contains a number of topics prepared by the masters, Brother Lin can check it first, and then draw a question at will, you and I will argue. ”
"No need to look at it. Lin Xian waved his hand in shock, took out a piece of paper, and read it:
"Can fate be cracked. The subtitle is, the Heavenly Fortune Hexagram or the Wisdom of the Mind is more useful. The main is against the positive. ”
Both were satisfied with the subject.
Lin Xian was shocked to major in celestial prediction, and Xu Wuyi was more advocating wisdom and strategy, just right, colliding.
