24 Bow down to the wall of the door
As soon as Li Yixuan's words came out, everyone present was stunned, Ye Dinggong on the high platform in the north said "ouch", and said with a smile: "Li Nuxia said this, Ye someone doesn't dare to be it!" But he saw three people walking out of the pergola in the west in turn, it was the second surviving disciple of the "Seventeen Gentlemen" under Wentian Ting's seat, "Pointing Nantian" He Haishan, the eighth disciple "Breaking the Pen and Flowers" Sun Mingyong, and the tenth disciple "Zhengxin Sword" Mu Xun.
I only heard He Haishan, who was the leader, raised his voice and said: "I have a word, and I ask the heroes of the world to listen quietly." Nowadays, in the territory of China, there are Fusang and Japanese in the east, the remnants of the former dynasty in the north, the troops of the five countries in the Western Regions in the west, and the rebels of the rebellious ministers and thieves in the south. In this national crisis, the sons and daughters of our generation should unite sincerely, defend the country, and resist foreign enemies. Therefore, this time the imperial court held the 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts', and it is a wise policy to elect a martial arts alliance leader to be in charge of the martial arts and command the heroes, and it is an urgent move!"
You must know that He Haishan, as the second disciple of Wentian Tingzuo, is known as a "gentleman" in the rivers and lakes, and his words are reasonable, and many people present agreed, nodded one after another and said: "That's right!"
He Haishan continued: "The ancestor had a feeling before his death, saying that he, the leader of the martial arts alliance, was just in vain, and he had never led a gang or faction from beginning to end, so naturally he couldn't talk about commanding the heroes. If you really want to unite the entire Central Plains martial arts and mobilize the major gangs, then the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance is definitely not something that can be done by one person, or even by one gang and one faction. Looking at the world, only the imperial court has this strength, which is today's Xuanwu Feihuamen. Therefore, if Master Ye does not give up, the four of my brothers and sisters will officially worship under the Xuanwu Feihuamen today, which can be regarded as adhering to the ambition of the ancestors, prompting the imperial court and the rivers and lakes to join hands to work together to protect the family and defend the country and defend against foreign enemies. Sun Mingyong behind him also said: "Yes! From this moment on, if there are still people who refuse to admit that the Xuanwu Feihuamen is a faction in the martial arts, then they will not be able to get along with the four of us, let alone with the master of the Ancestral Master Wen Alliance!"
Hearing the words of the two, Ye Dinggong on the high platform in the north hurriedly shook his head, and said: "Although my Xuanwu Feihua Sect is a Jianghu sect, it is also within the imperial court establishment, and I am receiving the imperial court, so I can't recruit disciples indiscriminately." Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words and said with a smile: "However, the Central Plains Martial Arts will share a grand event today, in front of the heroes of the world, I Ye someone will have the courage to be the master - from this moment on, the four of them will be the people of my Xuanwu Feihuamen!." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yilian, He Haishan, Sun Mingyong and Mu Xun in the audience were suddenly overjoyed, and were about to step forward to bow down, but they heard a commotion in the pergola one after another, and more than 100 people poured out one after another, all of whom were people with no sect on the rivers and lakes, and said: "I am also willing to worship in the Xuanwu Feihua Gate, and please ask Ye Zhangmen to complete it!" Ye Dinggong was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's rare for all heroes to be so gracious, since that's the case, as long as you are willing, you can come!"
The major gangs present were already shocked to see that the four disciples under Wen Tianting actually took the initiative to worship the Xuanwu Feihua Gate, but in the blink of an eye, more than 100 people jumped out to get in, and they all looked at each other for a while, confused. I only heard someone in the crowd who appeared: "Just as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch on, today they can join the Xuanwu Feihuamen, backed by the mountain of the imperial court, it is undoubtedly a godsend, only a fool will miss it in vain!" Another person shouted and shouted: "The Xuanwu Feihuamen is already a sure thing to take the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance! Ye Zhangmen personally agreed in front of the heroes of the world to make an exception to recruit disciples, if I don't hurry up to get started, when will I wait?"
As soon as these words came out, many people came out of the pergola one after another, all clamoring to worship under the Xuanwu Feihua Gate, but in a few moments, there were as many as six or seven hundred people gathered in the venue, and many of them were extremely famous masters in the martial arts. I only heard Bai Taobai, the head of the Huashan faction in the pergola in the east, suddenly shouted: "Zhou Zongyang, you Huashan outcast, you dare to come out and be embarrassed and turn to another faction?"
But when he heard a Buddha horn sound, an old voice said lightly: "Put down the butcher knife and turn back to the shore." Even if they are heinous, as long as they can repent and change their past mistakes, our Buddha will always open the door and leave them a way to live. At present, many of these friends voluntarily worship under the Xuanwu Feihuamen, and from now on they will be bound by the imperial court, not only can they not do evil, but they must also make meritorious contributions and benefit the common people, which is undoubtedly a hundred times better than taking refuge in Buddhism. Therefore, according to the humble opinion of the poor monks, since the friends who entered the Xuanwu Feihua Gate today have decided to change their minds, then even if there are any mistakes in the past, there should be no need to investigate. ”
Everyone present looked for prestige, only to see that the person who spoke was the head of the Buddhist monks of Luoyang White Horse Temple, the incense Zen master, and suddenly exclaimed and discussed. You must know that Luoyang White Horse Temple was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although it is not as prestigious as Wutai Mountain Dafu Vulture Temple in the past hundred years, it is the first temple that Buddhism was introduced from Tianzhu to Middle Earth, and it has personally witnessed the whole process of Buddhism taking root and flourishing in the Central Plains. Today, the monks in the White Horse Temple have gradually turned into two lines, namely "Buddhist monks" and "warrior monks", the head of the warrior monks to listen to the Yuan Zen master, is a well-known master in the martial arts, and the incense holding Zen master who speaks at the moment is naturally the head of the Buddhist monks of the White Horse Temple, only in Buddhism, still in the Dafu Vulture Temple of the good cause abbot. Seeing that the old monk actually spoke in person, the white head of the Huashan faction couldn't help but be stunned for a while, knowing that the White Horse Temple had also turned his heart to the court, so he had to give up and return to the pergola with his sword in his hand.
I only heard Ye Dinggong on the high platform in the north and said respectfully: "The incense-holding Zen master is compassionate, and Ye is deeply admired. In this way, according to the master's will, anyone who enters my Xuanwu Flying Flower Gate today will be written off from the past. As long as all friends work hard to relieve the worries of the people and serve the martial arts, Xuanwu Feihuamen and even the entire imperial court will definitely not treat you badly. ”
As soon as the words fell, the six or seven hundred people in the audience were already cheering in unison and excited. There were still some hesitant people in the surrounding pergolas, listening to the words of Zen Master Xiang and Ye Dinggong, it was clear that as long as they joined the Xuanwu Feihuamen, they could be whitewashed and accept the protection of the imperial court, and then two or three hundred people rushed out of the pergola and rushed to worship the door; plus the previous people, there were more than 1,000 people. Even the "Soul Hooking Ghost Hand" on the ground shouted: "If the Xuanwu Flying Flower Gate ignores the previous suspicions, I will also worship the subordinates!"
Then Li Yiyan let him go, and said with a smile: "As the leader of the Xuanwu Feihua Sect, he will command the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the future, how can he worry about a few jokes from you? Shi Yishou hurriedly bowed to the high platform in the north, and said loudly: "From this moment on, my 'Soul Hooking Ghost Hand' is no longer a broken household without a sect, but a disciple of the Xuanwu Feihua Sect!" After that, he really called out respectfully to Li Yixuan: "Senior sister." ”
When Xian Jingyue on the high platform saw this, he suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that whether it was this "ghost hand hooking soul" or the four disciples under Wen Tianting, they were obviously premeditated and worked together to stage today's good show, and its purpose was naturally to raise the prestige of Xuanwu Feihuamen. As for the people in the audience who want to worship the Xuanwu Feihua Gate, half of them have already been negotiated, but they deliberately chose to worship in front of the entire Central Plains Martial Arts today, undoubtedly to deter the major gangs.
In this way, the Xuanwu Feihuamen, which was originally less than forty people on the high platform in the north, has a thousand people in the blink of an eye, just talking about the number of people present today, even the beggar gang, the salt gang and the Jianghai gang, these powerful gangs cannot be compared, its momentum is so big, the voice is so high, but it does have the grandeur of the martial arts alliance leader.
And all this is naturally Ye Dinggong's arrangement, I didn't expect that my top boss could sit as the commander-in-chief of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and was sent by the emperor to be in charge of this "Taihu Lake Martial Arts", in the end, there are still some real materials, and he can come up with such scheming methods. Thinking of this, Xian Jingyue couldn't help but turn his head to look at Deyizi beside him, but saw that the little Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on the chair, his whole face was covered by a cloak and hood, and he didn't know whether he was meditating or falling asleep. Looking at the major gangs in the pergola on the top of the peak, he couldn't help but say in his heart, "Don't say that this is a son, I think that the various factions already know it, and they know that this move was deliberately arranged by Ye Dinggong, but they can only see through it." ”
Sure enough, I saw that the leaders of the "three visible and one hidden gang" present were surprised, angry, joyful, calm, or disdainful for a while, and no one opened their mouths to break through the matter, so they could only watch the more than 1,000 people in the field worship under the Xuanwu Feihuamen, and gathered behind the high platform in the north. When the disciples of the Xuanwu Feihua Sect had arranged these new junior brothers and sisters, Yiyun Zhenren, the elder of the Wudang Sect in the pergola in the east, raised his voice and said: "Since the Xuanwu Feihua Gate is already expected by everyone, the old Taoist will say a word. As we all know, the purpose of this 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' is to elect a faction as the leader of the martial arts alliance to lead the heroes of the rivers and lakes to save the country from danger and save the people from fire and water. In my Wudang Zhenwu view, the position of the leader of this martial arts alliance must be the Xuanwu Feihua Gate of the Ye Sect, I don't know where my friends still have objections?"
