Chapter 10: The Canon (I)
There is a cave in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, the gate of the cave is blocked by a stone gate, at this time a big man outside the cave is respectfully saluting and asking to see, who is this person Han Long?
"Senior Tan, Han Long is here!"
"Come in!" came a hoarse voice from inside, as if it hadn't spoken in a long time.
As soon as the words fell, the stone door at the entrance of the cave made a "click" sound, slowly rising, revealing the situation inside the cave, the hole is very shallow, not very big, only a stone bed is placed, and there is an old man with white hair and white beard sitting on the bed, his face is wrinkled, but a pair of eyes are extraordinarily bright, containing a sharp edge.
"It has been thirty years since I came to support your Dragon and Tiger Sect on the order of the Sect Master of the Ziyu Sword Sect, and you have long known the purpose, originally the above meaning was to slowly let this sect disappear, but yesterday a new order came, saying that the situation has changed, and the progress must be accelerated, you have to be prepared. Within three months, I want this Xuanqing Gate to disappear without a trace. I will take action when necessary, and you can do it boldly. The old man surnamed Tan said lightly.
"Yes!" Han Long replied sharply with a fierce look on his face.
"Let's go down!"
Han Long came out of the cave and looked at the Dragon Tiger Gate at the foot of the mountain, which was busy arranging the celebration, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
On the sixth day of the eighth month, the weather is sunny and sunny, and this day is a special day. Today is the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of Longhumen, the whole Longhumen is very lively, the mountains where Longhumen is located seem to have become festive, and even several villages and towns under the mountain have hung festive red lanterns.
A group of people and horses on the official road are heading in the direction of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, and there are magic weapons flying in the sky from time to time, and there are several monks standing or sitting on the magic weapons, some of them meditating with their eyes closed, and some of them are talking.
The venue of the Longhumen ceremony is arranged on the large-scale martial arts arena of Longhumen, and at this moment the martial arts arena is full of seats, melons, fruits and drinks are prepared on it, and there is a huge martial arts platform in the middle of the martial arts arena.
"Guanglong City Lord Han City Lord has arrived!" A loud voice spread throughout the entire Dragon Tiger Gate, just listening to this voice, you know that the cultivation is not bad, it is Liu Qing, the deputy master of the Dragon Tiger Gate, he is in charge of welcoming guests.
"Master Liu is polite!"
"Han City Lord, please!"
"Bring it in!" Although Han Hu's appearance was similar to Han Long, he was obviously much older, and there were already a lot of gray hairs on his forehead, and he waved his hand to let his subordinates send in boxes of congratulatory gifts.
"Chaoyang Martial Arts Pavilion Master He has arrived!"
"Guanglong City Purple Grievance Chamber of Commerce Shopkeeper Liu has arrived!"
......
More and more people came, and gradually the whole Longhumen became very lively.
"The Righteous Gate advocates horizontally, and the deputy door master Chu Liang has arrived!"
At this moment, the lively Dragon and Tiger Gate was quiet for a moment, and then it became lively again, many people went to greet everyone in the Justice Gate, and there were many who ignored it, and everyone present knew that the relationship between the Justice Gate and the Dragon and Tiger Gate was not harmonious. Although there was a moment of coldness, the scene soon became lively again.
Zhou Changqing and his entourage saw the lively Dragon Tiger Gate from a distance, and when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they fell down and hiked up the mountain.
Liu Qingzheng reported to the team in front of him, and saw Zhou Changqing and his party following behind.
"It turned out to be the master of the Zhao Sect, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Liu Qingpi said with a smile.
"Deputy Sect Master Liu is polite, this Dragon Tiger Gate Pawn is really the first event in Guanglong City in a hundred years!" Zhao Yuanlong returned the salute.
"Lord Zhaomen, please come in!" After saying that, he was about to greet the next team of people, and he didn't even mean to report to Xuanqingmen.
Zhao Yuanlong and Zhuo Qingfeng's faces suddenly became very ugly, and Zhou Changqing's face was as usual.
"Zhou has seen the hospitality of Longhumen, which is really eye-opening for me. Zhou Changqing's faint voice spread through everyone around him.
Suddenly, the people who were about to enter the door in front of them stopped, turned their heads to look at Zhou Changqing and his party, and the people who were queuing up behind them were not in a hurry, waiting to see a good show, and many people had already recognized Zhao Yuanlong's group.
"Who is this fellow Daoist?" Liu Qing didn't seem to hear the mockery in Zhou Changqing's words, and turned his head to ask Zhao Yuanlong.
"Hmph, this is my senior brother Zhou Changqing!" Zhao Yuanlong was also a little angry at the moment.
"It turned out to be Zhou Daoyou, forgive me for being clumsy, it's really rude!" Liu Qing smiled faintly.
Zhou Changqing's face remained unchanged, but as soon as his body moved, he came to Liu Qing's side in an instant, and patted Liu Qing's shoulder three times with great agility, just like a good friend greeting him.
The first time, Liu Qing saw that Zhou Changqing didn't use mana, and thought that Zhou Changqing was greeting him, but when the slap fell on the shoulder, a huge force came, and Liu Qing knew that it was not good, and subconsciously used his mana to resist, but his face was still red when he was pat.
After the second and third shots, Liu Qing's feet were already deeply sunk into the ground, and his face was even redder.
"Now you know who I am, have you forgotten to report me to Xuanqing Sect?" Zhou Changqing put his hand on Liu Qing's shoulder and said lightly.
Liu Qing looked at Zhou Changqing's hand on his shoulder, and then looked at Zhou Changqing's face that had not changed from beginning to end, and endured the blood that was about to erupt and the anger in his heart.
"Xuanqing Gate Master Zhao Yuanlong, Xuanqing Gate Zhou Changqing and his disciple Zhuo Qingfeng have arrived!" A voice that suppressed anger spread throughout the entire Dragon Tiger Gate.
The lively Dragon Tiger Gate was quiet for a moment, and then it became lively again.
"Is that right? Oh, why is Sect Master Liu's face so red, this is an internal injury! You can't bear it, otherwise I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious!" Zhou Changqing pretended to be surprised with an expression that he had just discovered, and patted Liu Qing's shoulder again after speaking.
Then arched his hand to the surroundings, and entered the gate with Zhao Yuanlong.
Liu Qing couldn't hold back the blood in his mouth anymore at this time, spurted a mouthful of blood, his body shook for a while, and the disciples beside him hurriedly supported him.
"I'm sorry, I'm going down to rest for a while, everyone, please enter by yourself!" Liu Qing reluctantly straightened up and saluted around, and then was helped down by his disciple to rest.
The people around looked at each other, all surprised by the scene just now. There were even shrewd people who hurriedly caught up with Xuanqingmen and his party and took the initiative to talk to Zhao Yuanlong, among them was the boss of a small auction house named Wang Fugui, this person looked very rich, and he looked very shrewd, Zhou Changqing silently wrote down this person, thinking that he might be able to use him in the future.
Although there was no one to talk to me when I entered the venue, Zhou Changqing felt that it was not bad to be clean at all. Zhou Changqing carefully looked at everyone in the field, the layout of the venue was very exquisite, the monks were all in a fixed area, several Foundation Building Realm monks were sitting on the farthest high platform, Zhou Changqing was also among them, mortal warriors were sitting together, Zhou Changqing saw Zhang Heng and Chu Liang for the first time, because the aura exuded by the two of them was the most powerful, especially Zhang Heng.
Soon everyone who received the invitation had already arrived, and Han Long finally appeared.
"Thank you to all the Taoist friends present, friends can take time out of their busy schedules to come to participate in the bicentennial celebration of my Longhumen, my Longhumen can gain a foothold in this Guanglong City thanks to the strong support of all of you present, here I respect you!
Everyone in the audience raised their wine glasses to salute Han Long, and the monks on the stage were a little different, none of the several Foundation Building Realm monks moved, and the warm atmosphere in the audience cooled down a lot.
"Why, a few Daoists don't give Han face like this?" Han Long's face was also a little unsightly.
"Han Long, others are afraid of you, but I, Zhang Heng, am not afraid of you! Do I need to give you face? If you can beat me, I will give you face, or shall we have a fight?" Zhang Heng's face was full of disdain.
"You!" Han Long was choked by this arrogant man, but he didn't quarrel with this reckless man, and turned his gaze to Zhou Changqing.
"This is Zhou Changqing Zhou Daoyou, right! That Xuanqingmen family has a small temple, how can it accommodate Zhou Daoyou, Zhou Daoyou might as well come to my Dragon Tiger Gate, how about I give you the deputy sect master?" Han Long's face changed quickly, and he looked at Zhou Changqing with a smile.
"Oh, deputy sect master, what about Liu Qing Daoyou?" Zhou Changqing pretended to think for a while and said.
"It's okay, I can set up an extra master in the Dragon Tiger Gate!haha......" Han Long had an even bigger smile on his face.
"Then this deputy sect master is too worthless, how can I Zhou Changqing do it?"
Han Long could now see that Zhou Changqing was teasing him, and the expression on his face slowly cooled.
After that, there was very little communication between the Zhuji monks, after all, they all knew that they did not have a very good relationship with each other, and they did not have much common language.
In the middle of the banquet, there were many mortal warriors who wanted to show themselves in front of the monks, and maybe they would be able to join the sect at this opportunity.
Although the competition between mortals is not as destructive as that of monks, it is also wonderful, and there are many monks who have outstanding performances, winning a round of applause from everyone in the audience. When a peak martial artist defeated several opponents in a row and was accepted by Han Long as a disciple of the outer sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the atmosphere on the scene was even higher, and there was basically no idle time on the martial arts platform.
"It's too boring to always let these mortal martial artists compete, why don't you let your disciples go up and give it a try, so that we can guide our disciples in their cultivation, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Han Long narrowed his eyes and asked a few foundation building monks present.
"Hmph, my righteous sect is never afraid of fighting, Qian Tai, you go up first, and set an example for the peers who are here today!" Zhang Heng obviously also felt that the battle between the monks was more attractive.
Zhang Heng brought a total of three disciples today, two of them were at the eleventh level of Qi training, and one was at the level of Qi cultivation, and this Qian Tai was one of them, cultivating to the eleventh level of Qi training.
Qian Tai is about twenty years old, and his appearance is mediocre, but the look on his face is full of arrogance.
When Qian Tai heard the words of the door master, he walked out of the banquet, bowed to the place where the Zhuji monk was, and immediately jumped dozens of meters away to stand in the middle of the competition platform, and arched his hand towards the surroundings, and then set his eyes on a tall man among the several people behind Han Long.
"I'm going to challenge Senior Brother Wang Bawang of the Dragon Tiger Gate!"
