Chapter 150: New Rules for the Rivers and Lakes
"If it's like this, after eating and drinking, how can I do it?" Duan Zhengji secretly thought. But before he could say anything, a group of people had already warmly hugged Duan Zhengji and sat down in the seat. After they all sat down, talking about the origin of the teacher, Duan Zhengji had to lie and prevaricate.
After asking whether the young ** on the war book was his disciple, because he had no teacher-inheritance relationship with the two factions, Duan Zhengji had to lightly replied, "I and Master Kongwen and Cangxi Dao Chang are friends who have forgotten their years! 'Ah----- this person can have a relationship with the friends of Wulin, Taishan, Beidou, Shaolin, and Wudang at a young age?! Everyone couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.
But after seeing that Duan Zhengji was not the one who deliberately found fault with the fierce gods, Zhou Tai, Wu Heng and the others suddenly put their minds at ease and began to stagger with Duan Zhengji. But just when everyone was drunk, they suddenly heard a 'quacking' birdsong.
Following the prestige, I saw two old eagles singing happily on a big tree in the courtyard. "Such a noise! disturb our wine, you sit down, wait for me to go and destroy this thing!" With that, Chen Zhen immediately picked up the meteor cord and walked out the door. 'Brother Chen, do it, flick your fingers and get rid of it!' Duan Zhengji said as he cast the 'Shao Chong Sword' and pointed at the bird's nest void on the tree. Oh, that's not good! When he saw two young chicks poking out their heads in the nest, Duan Zhengji, who had been deeply influenced by Buddhism since childhood, couldn't help but feel pity. So he hurriedly cast the technique of getting up, stepped forward to catch the bird's nest that could fall to the ground, and returned to its place, and returned to its seat.
After this action was completed, Chen Zhen had not yet walked out of the hall. The crowd couldn't help but burst into cheers in unison. Originally, according to the plan in advance: if the person who challenged was just an unknown person who came to fight for fame by relying on his own means, the person in the seat would be drugged in wine, and after he was on the way, he would immediately do it; but if this person was a nameless master, he would be generously entertained and sent out of the country, and he could be regarded as making a friend; but now I know that he not only has a very good relationship with the heads of the Shaolin and Wudang factions, but also only the kung fu that was just revealed; even if you look at today's martial arts, I am afraid that few people can match it! Because of this, Chen Zhen and the others, who were looking at each other, had to set their eyes on Zhao Kaijia's face.
Seeing this, Zhao Kaijia smiled again, and then saluted Duan Zhengji with a fist, "With the skills of a friend, he disdains to fight with us! What is the noble reason for a friend to come here? Ming people don't say secret words, we will obey our orders!" Seeing Zhou Tai and the others' submissive attitude, after making sure that everyone had no objections, Duan Zhengji immediately asked for a pen and paper;
As soon as everyone finished writing and writing, Duan Zhengji even sent people to call the deacons of Shaolin and Wudang, and motioned for everyone to sign and sign the letters one by one. "This person summoned the Shaolin and Wudang factions to come immediately, and it seems that what he said is true!" Zhao Kaijia and the others said. So, as soon as the signatures were completed, the happy Zhao Kaijia and the others immediately collected it and handed it over to Duan Zhengji. Seeing that the affairs here were over, Duan Zhengji immediately refused to be retained by everyone and continued to advance to Jiangling Mansion.
Jiangling, located in the central south of Hubei Province, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the west of the Jianghan Plain, south of the Yangtze River, north of the Han River, its west control of Bashu, north of Xianghan, with rivers and lakes, finger arm Wu Yue; plus is an important fish and rice production area of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is called "southeast important town" known as "the thoroughfare of seven provinces". Therefore, such a rich place has naturally attracted many masters of the rivers and lakes to establish a sect here, in order to get a piece of the pie.
Following the precedent, as soon as he arrived here, Duan Zhengji first came to the local hall of the beggar gang. Then after listening to the deacon's introduction to the situation of more than 30 sects and the division of strength in this place, even when someone sent them a war letter one by one. After the war letter was delivered, the difference from the previous one was that before the time for the war came, someone took the initiative to find the door.
This person's name is Qiu Qianren, and he is the leader of the Iron Palm Gang who has not long been established in the local area. Although this Iron Palm Gang is only a small gang that survives in the cracks of several factions, because Qiu Qianren has a high talent in martial arts, and because of the set of Iron Sand Palm Palm Techniques created by himself in his early years of penance, he is invincible, and although it is only a small nascent faction with less than 200 people, no one dares to despise it on the ground of Jiangling, where there are many sects, and it has steadily occupied a place. But although life is stable, what makes Qiu Qianren distressed is that in the face of the situation that the local sects have hundreds or thousands, but because Qiu Qianren's influence is limited to the Jianghan area, except for only a few local people who come to vote every year, although it has been established for more than ten years, the number of people has not increased but decreased, and the territory has been constantly compressed!
In the face of such a grim situation, 'I think it's because my name is not loud enough!' Qiu Qianren secretly wondered. So, as soon as he received the war letter, Qiu Qianren, who had the intention of raising his prestige, even informed the relevant factions and came to the door in advance alone. After meeting Duan Zhengji, after a round of gossip, when Qiu Qianren proposed to change the location of the battle, asked the reason, Qiu Qianren said, "Duan Daxia can invite Shaolin and Wudang to accompany him, and he must not be an idle person......!"
Speaking of this, after a pause, he continued: "It happened that the local magistrate Chen Sheng participated in the palace examination the year before last and won the first prize, and the local state capital, in order to promote his talent, specially transcribed the entire good essay written by Chen Sheng when he took the examination on the Qujiang Tower in the city; at that time, we will enjoy the good text while drinking wine; and after we are full of wine and food, we will let go and fight to decide the score, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
This Chen Shengcai's reputation is all over the world, not only is Duan Zhengji far away in Dali, but also has heard of it. But he didn't expect that this was the place of his birth, and it was proposed by Qiu Qianrenfu, and Duan Zhengji, who had been deeply influenced by his second brother for many years, immediately moved the idea of going to appreciate Jiawen, so he agreed to change the location to Qujiang Building to make an appointment. In the blink of an eye, the time for war has arrived.
Early that morning, Duan Zhengji was led all the way to Qujiang Tower by several Iron Palm Gang disciples. Seeing Qiu Qianren, without saying much, the two came to the "Wangjiang Fu" written by Chen Sheng and watched it. After some viewing, although its conception is ingenious and its views are unique, it is an indisputable fact that the internal and external troubles of the Great Song Dynasty are well known to the whole world! Therefore, Duan Zhengji, who was quite contemptuous of this kind of rhetoric and whitewashed the peace and made wonderful works specially to please the officials, only agreed a few words before gossiping with Qiu Qianren.
As he was talking, he saw the heads of Linjiangmen, Yanbang, Tonghai and other sects entering the building one after another. "Martial arts talent Duan Daxia is here, no matter what, I have to do the friendship of the landlord with my salt gang first! I don't want to, but you Iron Palm Gang came first to seize the opportunity." As soon as they met, Chen Shanxu, the leader of the Salt Gang, sarcastically attacked Qiu Qianren.
This salt gang sells illicit salt on weekdays, plus resells the road guide (a kind of road for selling salt); the salt gang has abundant wealth, and everyone in the rivers and lakes of the country knows it! Yes, although Chen Shanxu's words made Qiu Qianren a little unhappy, he couldn't refute it, so he had to laugh and say, "Duan Daxia is not an ordinary martial arts coarse person, and several heads of the family are all respected factions with heads and faces on the ground in this Jiangling Mansion; yes, brother is ......."
Seeing that Qiu Qianren's smile was quite reluctant, Duan Zhengji hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Don't be mistaken, you are really interested in appreciating the masterpiece, so I changed the duel location with the Qiu gang leader and changed it here." "Wherever there is a duel, it is inevitable to fight!" This place is very famous for its wine and food, and when you are full of food and drink, you can also come to a happy battle!'
Fan Bao, the master of the Tiger Roaring Hall, was an anxious man, and as soon as he finished speaking, he first approached the table, grabbed a piece of beef and chewed it. Seeing this, everyone was not far behind, and even if they entered the table one after another, they ate up. After a bit of wine and eating, Fan Bao couldn't help urging him again and again, and everyone immediately ordered someone to remove a few tables and start the competition on the spot.
But after a battle, except for Fan Bao, who barely walked ten moves under Duan Zhengji, the others were defeated in three moves and two moves. Seeing this, Qiu Qianren shouted, 'I'm here to teach the master of Duan's heroes!', and then jumped into the field.
This Qiu Qianren's martial arts skills are indeed not to be underestimated! I saw that as soon as he stood still, his palms immediately doubled, and he faintly showed a kind of iron-blue color; especially after the palm force was struck, the power was even more extraordinary! In the blink of an eye, the crumbs of the tables and chairs that had been shattered by the remaining strength of his palm power had already fallen all over the corners of the hall on the second floor. But at this time, he encountered the Six-Vein Divine Sword of the Peerless World, but he could only see the big thing, and after the battle reached twenty moves, Qiu Qianren was stabbed by Duan Zhengji in the upper ring of the leg and jumped acupoint, and suddenly fell to the ground with a scream.
After opening the acupoint for him and proposing to give up, but Qiu Qianren, who wanted to show off in front of people but fell back, was willing to do so?
"Even if you lose the competition, you won't have to look for a short sight on the spot!" this Qiu Qianren is too petty," everyone laughed secretly. But seeing that Duan Zhengji had already walked to the window, everyone hurriedly looked down. This didn't matter, and everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and immediately stunned on the spot. I saw that Qiu Qianren was now walking on the water as if he was walking on the ground, and he had displayed his own original 'iron sand palm technique'! Although the strong palm force shook a large area of the water surface in all directions, Qiu Qianren did not care at all, and still calmly displayed his palm technique. Seeing that everyone was shouting good, Qiu Qianren, who was practicing to xing, shouted, "Wait for me to catch a few river freshness for you to taste!", and immediately raised his palm and struck the river.
