Sanqing Mountain, one of the 36 caves of Taoism, the leader of Wenhui Taoism and one of the major martial arts schools of the East China Sea Sword Sect is located.

In the early morning mist, Hua Lanting climbed the Yuqing Peak to ask to see the head of the sect, Tai Mianzi, and Dao Tong went in to pass the message and came back to say that the head of the sect had a meeting this morning, and he could not see him until about the hour.

After Hua Lanting went around the Yuhua Peak next to him and came back, Dao Tong took him to a matching hall. Entering the hall, Hua Lanting saw eight Taoists sitting in it.

From Fang Qingya, he already knew that there were many cultivators in the East China Sea Sword Sect, but only the disciples who nominally belonged to the Three Qing Palace, the Four Imperial Palaces, the Eight Immortal Palaces, and the Nine Palaces cultivated martial arts, and the rest were ordinary Taoist priests. These eight people should be the main and deputy hall masters of the four halls. In addition, the rule of Shenqing Mountain is that the head of the temple is produced from the four hall masters, and the head of the house is in charge of the whole faction and concurrently serves as the hall master.

As soon as he entered the door, Hua Lanting found that the atmosphere was not quite right. The head of the top person has a white face, deep frowning eyebrows, and a helpless and unhappy face. The Taoist sitting at the bottom left looked blank and expressionless, but there was a hint of triumph in his eyes. The man next to him was burly, with black hair and a face like a heavy jujube. The Taoist sitting at the bottom right of the head is pale and yellow, with deep nasolabial folds, and a sad face and a bitter hatred.

There was still a Taoist sitting behind each of the four of them, none of the eight of them spoke at this time, and no one looked at Hua Lan Ting, and there was a solemn and tense atmosphere in the hall, which obviously seemed that the previous deliberation process should not be too smooth.

After waiting for a while, Hua Lanting had to cough helplessly and embarrassedly, stepped forward to meet the head of the main throne, Tai Mianzi, and explained his intention.

Tai Mianzi nodded, and first said to everyone with a cold face: "Since everyone disagrees, let's do this today, everyone goes back and thinks about it carefully, and the matter will be discussed later." ”

After speaking, his face turned peaceful, and he looked at Hua Lanting with a smile and said: "I've been waiting for a long time, thank you for bringing the letter, Hua Shaoxia has worked hard along the way, please give Qingya's letter to Poor Dao." ”

Hua Lan Ting took out and handed over the letter, Tai Mianzi opened it to read, and then handed it to the other three palace masters to circulate, and introduced the other three people to Hua Lan Ting, namely Taiyinzi, the master of the Four Palaces, Tai Chizi, the master of the Eight Immortal Palaces, and Tai Xiazi, the master of the Nine Palaces.

Then, Tai Mianzi said: "Qingya leads the crowd of 10,000 people and exalts the prestige of foreign lands, but it lives up to the painstaking teaching of me and the sect." ”

Taiyinzi on the left listened to it, but said gloomily: "Senior brother in charge, I didn't say that, Qingya, this kid is good, but now he is the king of the mountain and the grass is the king, I think it is detrimental to the prestige of my East China Sea Sword Sect." ”

"Yes, yes, I was in favor of Qingya joining the army, and I will become a general in the future, not only can I seal my wife and son, but also can magnify my East China Sea lintel, but now I am a robber outside the territory, and I also wrote a letter to ask for a strong hand to support him, which is a bit unknowing. Tai Chizi echoed.

Tai Xiazi also said in a weird manner: "Senior Brother Tai Mian, Qingya would rather go to a foreign land than stay in Wen Hui to serve in the door, you, as a master, should have persuaded him more, don't let him do whatever he wants to do with his martial arts and the name of the four shows." ”

Back then, Taiyinzi, Taichizi and Taixiazi all competed for the position of head, and in the end, Tai Mianzi barely won with the support of his elders.

However, although Tai Mianzi's martial arts cultivation is high, he is simple and humble and a little cowardly, and he is neither interested in nor good at sect governance, so the other three are not very respectful, and they often point fingers when they encounter problems.

At this time, Tai Mianzi listened to the words of the three hall masters and accused his disciple Fang Qingya, he could not fight for himself, but he was extremely concerned about this proud disciple, not to mention that the clay man still had three points of fire, and his face sank at the moment, and he pressed the fire and said:

"Three senior brothers and junior brothers, aren't you sorry to talk like this? Is it because Qingya himself doesn't want to stay? Isn't it that you saw him practice the method of dividing his heart into two uses, and forced him to go away to join the army?

"In addition, just now we discussed the matter of sending people to participate in the extermination of the Japanese in response to the call of the imperial court, and you have pushed it back and forth. One said that cultivators are outsiders and should ignore mundane matters, one said that the Japanese did not infringe on their own sect, and it was not their own business, and the other said that the court did not promise heavy remuneration and did not need to contribute, so what does it matter to you that a secular disciple in Qingya can rely on his own strength to kill the enemy in a foreign land?"

The three hall masters saw that the head of the house was rarely angry, and they didn't have an interface for a while, Tai Mianzi said again: "The trouble is serious, burning, killing and looting in the coastal land, even women, the elderly and children are not spared, and the methods are cruel, you don't know this. Under the nest, how can there be no eggs? It is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Okay, this seat is incompetent, and it is really a shame to be ashamed of my ancestors if it can't lead me to return to my heart and act as one." In this way, I will step down from the position of head one day and lead my disciples of the Sanqing Hall to join the court martial arts troupe. So, are you satisfied?"

Before the three hall masters could speak, the deputy hall master of the Sanqing Hall next to him hurriedly said: "Don't be in charge! Please focus on the overall situation and don't be impulsive." There are guests here today, so it is better to discuss it another day. ”

As soon as the words fell, a disciple staggered in outside the temple gate, and shouted in his mouth: "Boss, master, the big thing is not good, there are hundreds of Japanese people from outside the mountain gate, claiming to be warriors of the Sun God Sect, threatening to worship the mountain and compete in martial arts, I won't allow them to come in, they will shoot and kill three disciples guarding the mountain, and they are killing the mountain!"

Tai Mianzi was furious when he heard this, and he got up and rushed out, and the hall masters were also angry and followed out.

As soon as he walked to the square in front of the Jade Emperor Palace, he saw that there were hundreds of Japanese people dressed in slit culottes and swords at their waists, surrounded by passionate disciples of the East Sword Sect.

Tai Mianzi waved his hand and shouted: "Hall masters, gather the disciples of the four halls to protect the mountain, today this seat is going to make the murderers come and go!"

The head of the Japanese people was five short in stature, with two beards, and then Pi smiled and said without smiling: "This is the head of the East China Sea Sword Sect, right, I have heard the state of etiquette in the East China Sea for a long time, is your faction so hospitable?"

Tai Mianzi replied in a deep voice: "Who are you? Dongtu etiquette varies from person to person, you gang of Japanese robbers have no education, they have violated my borders, killed my border people, and now they are hurting my disciples for no reason, and they are also worthy of being treated with courtesy by the head of the sect?"

The leader of the Japanese replied: "I, the leader of the Yamato Sun God Sect, Matsushita, want to ride, the Han name is Gao Yaoqi, and today I led the martial arts masters of the whole island of Dongying to come to Wen Hui to meet friends with martial arts. Compete in martial arts, and those who are not as good as others will die. We have gone all the way south, and we have already picked three schools and four factions. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that your master's nickname is too good, I see that you are still articulate, but I don't know how brave you are? Could it be that the East China Sea Sword Sect, which is known as the leader of the martial arts of the Wenhui Daomen, does not dare to face it? Hahaha!"

Tai Mianzi first looked at the three hall masters behind him and said: "You all ignore mundane things, don't care about things, and don't do anything, now the thieves are killing you, what else do you have to say!"

Then he turned to Panasonic to ride: "The plaster flag is right, what the friends of the martial arts are talking about is to learn from each other and exchange points until now, but you are killing people, why bother to say it nicely, if you have any ability, you can draw the next way, and my East China Sea Sword Sect will take it!"

Gao Yaoqi said with a smile: "The people of the Eastern Soil want to be face-saving and hypocritical, and I, the Fusang warrior, want to defeat the East China Sea Sword Sect head-on in a fair and just manner, and cooperate with the army to sweep away Wen Hui." ”

"Today, you have taken advantage of the right time and place, since I have drawn the line, then I heard that the four hall masters of your faction are known as the four sons of the East China Sea, it is better for each side to have three people to compete and win two battles in three battles. If there is a draw, you and I will fight again. If you win, I, the warriors of the Sun God Cult, will not serve as an eastward warrior in the future. If we win, and your East China Sea Sword Sect will now be subjugated to my Sun God Sect, how about it?"

Tai Mianzi groaned for a moment and said, "That's it, send someone to the end." ”

Gao Yaoqi took a step back, and three people came out behind him, and there were samurai on both sides of the two high flags, on the left side it was written: Fist sweeps the rivers and lakes of the East China Sea, extinguishes the majesty of the martial arts, and on the right it is written: The sword picks the East China Sea Sword School, and promotes the spirit of Fusang martial arts.

The people of the East China Sea Sword Sect were all angry and shouted when they saw the two flags, only to hear Tai Mianzi say to the three hall masters:

"Taiyin, Senior Brother Taichi, Senior Brother Taixia, no matter what festivals and disputes we had before, at the time of the life and death of this faction, it is no longer the time for the struggle of will, it is a matter of the prestige of the East China Sea Sword Sect, Wen Hui Wulin's face and resistance to national humiliation, please let it go. Regardless of victory or defeat, the head of the company will bear the consequences.

The three of them were already filled with righteous indignation, and said in unison: "Don't worry, the boss, I know that we must go all out." Then they all came out.

The six were divided into three pairs and each fought together.

In this war, the first thing to be surprised was the side of the East China Sea Sword Sect.

You must know that the four halls of the East China Sea Sword School have their own unique skills: the Four Palaces are famous for the Taiyi Lotus Sword Style, the Eight Immortal Palaces specialize in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Sword Technique, the Nine Palaces study the unique Tiger Rose Sword, and the Sanqing Palace is dominated by the two swordsmanship of splashing ink and leaving blank poems.

The people of the East China Sea never expected that the three of them would use the ether sword as a sword, and the three of them divided the Taiyi Lotus, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Tiger Rose swordsmanship, and made it look decent and decent.

Tai Mianzi was furious, and shouted at Gao Yaoqi: "Where did you steal my swordsmanship?"

Gao Yaoqi snorted coldly, and said in a good manner: "What is stealing? There are no strange martial arts in the world, what's so strange about me teaching swordsmanship similar to your sect, do you know that it wasn't you who stole learning?"

Tai Mianzi was so angry that his face turned even pale, knowing that there must be a traitor in the faction, but he was powerless to refute Gao Yaoqi's nonsense, and now is not the time to investigate, so he can only continue to watch the situation. After watching it for a while, my heart settled down a little.

Although the opponents of Taiyinzi and Taixiazi have the same swordsmanship, they are inferior to the two of them when it comes to the depth of skill and proficiency in swordsmanship.

Only Tai Chizi's opponent Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Sword Technique is not weak, and Tai Chizi's cultivation is the weakest among the four hall masters, and the two of them are quite difficult to distinguish.

Just when Tai Mianzi's heart was a little relieved and he felt that the overall situation was tilting towards his side, he noticed that Gao Yaoqi had a dark smile on his face, and he looked calm and not worried at all.

was wondering, I saw that the master of the Eight Immortals Hall in the field, Tai Chizi, shouted, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his body sat down softly, and his opponent took the opportunity to grab a knife into his lower abdomen, Tai Chizi held the knife and shouted with difficulty: "They, poison!"

Before the people of the East China Sea Sword Sect could react, Taiyinzi, the master of the four palaces here, also screamed, his body suddenly fell weakly, and he was cut off by the opponent, and the opponent immediately drew his knife and retreated, not wanting Taiyinzi to do his best to send out a sword when he was dying, it was the last secret hand of the Taiyi Lotus Sword "Lotus Blossom Blooming Sky", the opponent's heart was in the sword, and the two died together.

At this time, Tai Xiazi, the Nine Palace Lord with the highest skill and experience, had already reacted, and he also felt that the toxicity in his body was beginning to attack, and his power was losing sharply. Under the anger, he gritted his teeth and heart, luck blew up the dantian with a unique mental method, and used his strength as a skill to lose the price of becoming an ordinary person in the future in exchange for the temporary disappearance of the toxicity, taking the opportunity of the opponent to think that he was poisoned and close to him, shaking his hand to shatter the sword, and all the fragments pierced into the opponent's throat and neck, and Taixiazi gasped for breath to forcibly support himself from falling.
