485 Flowers under the River (4)
The voice confirmed Shen Fengming's conjecture - the task of today's "Thirty" turned out to be on top of this flower building, playing Qu Rebirth.
Thirty said yesterday that Qu Chongsheng is by no means a person who sells his reputation - although Shen Fengming doesn't know if he has a bit of preconceived ideas in his words, but the leader of the Dongshui Alliance who he has seen in the small building outside Zhenhuai Bridge - there is indeed a faint aura of superiority in his gestures, and it is definitely not easy for people to play - if he hadn't seen it yesterday, he almost guessed - everything about the comeback of the Dongshui Alliance would be a scene laid by Thirty with his "Eating the Moon".
But because of this, it is even more difficult for him to understand Qu's intention of rebirth - he had gone to many families to win over heroes before this conference, and even called a meeting in Lin'an. Maybe it's really a person's disposition to like to hide behind the scenes-so much so that he wears a mask in front of his own people - then, is the Qu rebirth who went to Lin'an at that time the real Qu rebirth?
Today's thirty is ten times more than last night, Shen Fengming thought about it, and the opening remarks were almost finished. He looked around, and most of them listened with great interest, but he felt that he was in the midst of an illusion—an illusory colored silk and a fluttering fragrance, a false leader and an unrecognizable servant—the truth of this—where was the real Qu reborn, hiding? He must have been somewhere in this flower market—perhaps among the many servants on this patrol—observing and manipulating this planned conspiracy.
"I know that many fellow Jianghu Daoists still have doubts in their hearts," the thirty on the Hualou continued to perfectly assume the role they should have, "Today's meeting is to solve all the doubts, in order to make my Jiangnan Zhengdao martial arts form a real ally." Since Dongshui is an 'alliance', he will re-promise and re-believe, and anything related to the covenant, Qu will be honest with you, and hope that you can also return with the same sincerity. To show this importance—"
He paused slightly, and the thin eyes on the mask seemed to be shining, and he threw himself at Tian Qi and the others. Previously, he had solemnly introduced the three of them in the tone of the master, Tian Qi was not polite, so he stood up and coughed: "I am afraid that some of you present may recognize it, and some of you will not recognize it." Today, although it is the meaning of the head, Tian has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and half of his heart belongs to this Jianghu, and he can be regarded as a member of the Jiangnan martial arts. If there is really any other meaning to this identity—the three of us have only been invited and appointed to testify with the important promise of the East Water Alliance, so that all the heroes should be more and more convinced of today's conference and the future of the covenant. ”
"Don't dare to be. "Thirty answered, "With the words of the prince and Lord Tian, I think no one will doubt the sincerity of my Dongshui Alliance's invitation to gather heroes from the rivers and lakes." ”
There was silence in the flower market for a while. This "testimony" is from the East Palace - even the most disdainful people in the rivers and lakes who have anything to do with the temple have to admit its weight. But precisely because of its weight, people are more and more unaware of what kind of "honesty" and "cigna" need such maintenance.
Xia Chen also bit his lip uneasily. Tian Qi's eloquence seems to have grown a lot—this kind of eloquence is very far away from him.
"That's the song. Thirty Yan invited Tian Qi to sit down, and his tone was solemn, "Everyone knows that after the death of his father, Qu has lived all the year round, and has been estranged from the East Water Alliance and the Jiangnan Martial Arts for a long time. But this year, Qu suddenly accidentally learned about the alliance, but this matter has a lot to do with all the families, and after thinking about it, he feels that the only way to restart the alliance is to gather all of you martial arts colleagues here today to give you this news. ”
Everyone was curious, and they couldn't help but hold their breath and wait to hear him say.
"That's good news. Thirty smiled, as light as the expression on the mask, "But not very good." ”
"The head of the Qu League wants to sell Guanzi. "There is an anxious heart, "What is the matter, but it is said." ”
"The predecessor of the East Water League was called the 'Jiangxia League', which was created by the ancestor of the contemptible master and the old owner of the 'first village in the south of the Yangtze River'," thirty said, "but back then, the family of the contemptuous master crossed the river from the north, and the old Xia seniors and most of the heroes here were the heroes of the south of the Yangtze River, although they hated the same enemy, but so many sects, there are always strong and weak differences, similarities and differences, and both have never known each other, and they want to communicate with each other and even set up an alliance, and they always need some rules - some trustworthy means, to prevent - If it is included in the Golden Dog, or if there is someone with other intentions, the gain outweighs the loss. Therefore, the two seniors discussed a method, all those who joined the alliance needed to use their own person or the most important thing in their sect as a certificate to pledge in the alliance. This thing can be a family heirloom, can be gold and silver wealth, can be a secret in the door, can be a secret method of martial arts - this is a condition for joining the alliance, but Qu is a certain posterity, for many years I have not known that the Jiangxia League actually had this article. ”
The voice was half-finished, and someone below was already talking to each other. Thirty said: "This thing is not a big deal - most of the allies back then were young, and there were many people who fought alone with their enthusiasm, and there were few people who started sects, and it is really impossible to talk about how many treasures and money the Jiangxia League has taken, and how many secrets and treasures have been hidden; At the beginning of the prosperity of the Jiangxia League, it did include a lot of 'stunts', and many of these heroes fought hard to resist the gold, some did not return after staying, and some had children and grandchildren, but they had not yet had time to teach the secret skills - the descendants of these many heroes, including all of you, believe that there are many who do not know that the alliance has preserved the 'treasures' of their families, if no one mentions it, these many family secrets must be lost. ”
He paused, "After Qu knew about it, he only felt that the matter was big, and he thought about it again and again, for the sake of the lineage of each family and the welfare of the martial arts, he must rebuild the covenant and recall the old people, thinking that he would not bury this peerless treasure that he had worked so hard to gather." To this end, he also visited the old people everywhere, in order to explore more information about this 'secret treasure' and seek the views of the predecessors of each family. During this period, there may be some misunderstandings, all because Qu did not dare to make this matter public too early, which attracted many people to covet it. But today, we are open and honest - the main thing is to find the origin and return the things to their original owners. ”
On this side, Shen Fengming and the ten thousand sunsets on the side couldn't help but glance at each other. They all thought that Qu Rebirth was to put aside the origin of the Jiangxia League and start anew, but they didn't expect that the meaning of these words was to "find the origin". Shen Fengming knew that it was not Qu Chongsheng himself who was upstairs, but he could still secretly laugh at the hypocrisy of these words, but like Wan Sunset, most of them were more and more confused at this time, so they didn't dare to question it immediately.
I saw a person standing up on the east side of the front flower stand: "In Xiayu Mountain, Min Zhicheng, dare to ask the leader of the alliance to mean that those sect secrets have been stored in the alliance all these years--right here?in Jiankang?
Thirty motioned to him not to hurry. "Whether your family heirlooms are in the 'secret collection' of this alliance, Qu is really difficult to remember one by one, but now a transcript of the record has been found, which can be compared. It's just that before that, Qu hopes to renew his oath with you, just like back then, I am sure that everyone here and Qu are of the same mind. ”
Naturally, Min was the first to be willing. Min Zhicheng hurriedly said, "If it is really as the alliance leader said, this 'secret treasure' is not trivial, I believe that as soon as this thing comes out, it will definitely be targeted by people with bad intentions, and there will be endless troubles. ”
There was another person beside him, who knocked on the teapot on the table with his hand, and his lazy expression made people look very unhappy: "What is the so-called 'oath' of the Qu Alliance Master?"
Thirty stretched out his hand to signal, and Liang Twelve beside him had already taken a silk horse full of words, and unfolded: "Today is for this - the Dongshui Covenant, which depends on everyone to keep it. Then he read it carefully.
His voice is very loud, and it is like singing at the right time, and it spreads far away. I only heard him read unhurriedly: "...... Invite Haojun this time, re-establish the covenant on the shore of the East Water, and all those who enter the East Water Alliance will vow to be 'honest and helpful'...... All of them are in accordance with the following beliefs:
"First, the Dongshui Alliance is respected by the leader of the alliance: there is a deputy leader of the alliance, one on the left and one on the left and one on the left, and the four of them decide on the important tasks in the alliance......
"Second, the East Water Alliance is based on Cigna: those who join the alliance must register an important item in the book, and within one month of joining the alliance, hand over the item to the left and right sleeves of the East Water Alliance for proper storage......
"Third, the East Water Alliance is based on the principle of one heart: those who abide by the oath will help each other, those who violate the oath will be reclaimed, and those who are foreign enemies will be resisted together......"
And so on, there are quite a lot of articles, Liang Twelve feet read half of the incense, and finally said: "The lord of the Qu League is selfless, and there is today's Dongshui Alliance, and I believe that the position of the leader of the alliance will have no objections." Liang is not talented, and he is favored by the leader of the alliance, and he and Brother Dai are the left and right sleeves of the East Water Alliance. The three of us are to abide by the old law, and we should first shed blood and leave a seal, and later pass on the covenant to you: those who wish to join the alliance will do the same, and those who do not want to join the alliance must leave immediately. ”
On the other side, Dai Twenty-five took out the prepared sea bowl, and the three of them immediately shed blood, and even thirty reached into the mask, touched the blood on their lips, and then pressed their handprints on the covenant.
Everyone downstairs looked at each other for a while, and everyone wanted to see from the faces of others whether they were wrong. Previously, "Qu Rebirth" clearly said that the "secret treasure" was left by the ancestors, and the treasures in it should be returned to their owners, but now it sounds like the meaning of the covenant is - to ask for treasures from those who join the alliance?
