17. Those who come are guests
April 3, Qingming.
In the early hours of the morning, the rain was dripping, wet everywhere, and muddy everywhere.
Ouyang Qing's invitation card to Dali Temple was almost sent to the hands of the heroes of the green forest together with the invitation card of Wuyue's rivers and lakes. The invitation of Dali Temple is not trivial, whether it is a good man who fishes in the rivers and lakes or a master of the natural sect on the white road, he has to give up seven points, which means that without the consent of Dali Temple, any people in the rivers and lakes will be punished.
Therefore, of course, the masters in the green forest did not want to be hunted down by the town law, and they all came to Dali Temple in advance.
The heroes of the green forest are unprecedentedly united this time to arrest Lu Changfeng and walk for the sky. As the secretary of Dali Temple, Dali Temple is a huge force behind Lu Changfeng, but Luo Bing, who is helping from the Criminal Department, has already stated that no one can move Lu Changfeng before he finds out.
There are seven famous and decent families in the martial arts, and these seven major schools all recognize Shaolin and Wudang as the famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes.
The judgment of Dali Temple has always been strict, and the criminal department is used as a detective for officials, so naturally they are all martial arts debuts, and these two major public doors are Shaolin and Wudang do not dare to plunder their edge.
In the early morning of April 4th,
The Dali Temple, which has been deserted for a long time, has been rare and lively this time, so bright that the blue stone is washed with water can see their hair, and there are high-rollers from the rivers and lakes one after another, Wen Xing wears a new soap robe and stands at the door to greet him.
"Zhao Tianba, the head of the Kongtong faction, has arrived!"
"Murong Villa, Murong Xi has arrived!"
"Dangshan Xiao family Xiao Qi has arrived!"
"Su Zhong Wu family Wu Wang!"
Ouyang Qing stood straight in the middle of the courtyard, also dressed in a brand new soap-clothed official mansion, listening to the words reported by the doorman, nodding slightly to the visitor to show politeness, with a long table of wine on both sides, Ouyang Qing welcomed the guests inside, and personally hugged his fists with a standard style of rivers and lakes.
Suddenly, I heard a loud "Amitabha Buddha" outside the courtyard, and then Wen Xing said loudly: "Master Kongjian of Shaolin Temple has arrived!"
When Ouyang Qing heard Amitabha, he hurriedly moved, and went out three steps to greet him in person.
Master Kongjian is 70 years old and highly respected. It has been a long time since I left Shaolin, just because the recent killing in the rivers and lakes is too heavy, and I saw a bloody wind in my eyes, and Songshan is not too far from Luoyang, so I came with compassion in my heart.
Master Kongjian fifteen years ago was the fourth in the Taishan Martial Arts Conference, can be said to be the strongest martial arts in the Shaolin Temple in addition to the Dharma Academy, the first seat of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, today he came forward, it seems that the Shaolin Temple also attaches great importance to this action.
Kong Jian led two Shaolin monks, strode in gray cloth robes, holding Buddhist beads in his hands, and his face was full of kindness and kindness.
Seeing Ouyang Qing, he said "good, good" at this moment, he also became a Buddha with one hand and made a hand salute.
Ouyang Qing didn't use the imperial court method, but used the Jianghu method to bow to him, arched his hand, and personally introduced Shaolin into the courtyard.
Kong Jian didn't care about everything he saw, but the eldest disciple Xuan Nan was a monk halfway and was born as a Xiushi, and his scheming was quite deep, seeing that Shaolin's treatment was quite high, he secretly thought to himself: "My master and I are here for Lu Changfeng's matter, which can be regarded as a discussion with Dali Temple, Ouyang Qing is still polite, most likely he wants to draw a line with Lu Changfeng." ”
But after thinking about it, he shook his head again, Lu Changfeng is the servant and commander of Dali Temple, and his status is not trivial, even if the heroes of the rivers and lakes catch him, he can't be killed in vain, otherwise the court's conviction will not be light.
Lu Changfeng has been an official all year round and has a good relationship with Ouyang Qing, Dali Temple may not give up on him, this Ouyang Qing has always been kind to people, and his mind is unpredictable.
Xuan Nan's face changed several times, Ouyang Qingju saw it in his eyes, and the monk in his heart was a character, with a faint smile on his face, knowing that it was better to see Kong, and it was difficult to deal with Xuan.
There are four tea stoves in the courtyard, and the heat is thick, and the tea has passed three pots, and the water has been added four times.
It was almost noon, and the rain at noon gradually lightened, and after a while, a few rays of sunlight drifted down in the sky.
Originally, the depressed mood in everyone's hearts has improved a lot with the arrival of the sun.
The martial arts characters who came to Dali Temple have gradually increased, Huashan, Qingcheng, and even the beggar gang whose talents are almost withering have also come to young talents this time, and the nearby gangs have arrived.
Dali Temple originally only set up a few tables of wine and food, and only some of the people in the green forest were going to be invited to the banquet, but later it seemed that there were too many people, so they added more than a dozen tables, but the Dali Temple seemed small.
After the crowd was full of voices, after greetings, it was inevitable to talk about the situation, and even many people began to gamble.
Bet on whether Luo Bing and Lu Changfeng will come.
was talking about himself, only to hear a clear shout from outside: "Master Bao Ziyun, the head of internal affairs, has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked, and those who understood the joint even thought: "Why did the Internal Affairs Office come here, most of the things must happen." ”
Ouyang Qing naturally wanted to get these things, and hurriedly walked out, he also knew that if there were really high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government who were damaged here, the consequences would be so serious.
In an instant, his face changed a few times, the situation developed like this, the people in the martial arts gathered in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and it was impossible for the imperial court to ignore the gathering of more people, and most of them still had a backhand.
Suddenly a beggar man came out of the crowd of contemplation, wearing eight sacks, who looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome face, but he was dressed crudely and thought to be a beggar in dirty clothes.
I saw him walk forward, waved his hand, and a few wisps of dark energy poured out, and the guards around Bao Ziyun were bounced away from afar, and the people in the rivers and lakes could still eat when they met ordinary military masters.
Before everyone could react, the eight bags of disciples of the Beggar Gang had already stood beside Bao Ziyun, put one hand on Bao Ziyun's shoulder, and smiled silently.
Everyone was in an uproar when they saw that this beggar disciple was so good at martial arts, and the guards next to Bao Ziyun panicked and shouted and scolded one after another, but they were afraid to besiege them.
Bao Ziyun is well-informed, and knows that these guards around him usually bully ordinary people, etc., and there is a big gap between them and these good players in the rivers and lakes or one-on-one, although his heart has already been frightened out of the sheath, his legs are trembling, and cold sweat is oozing from his body, but his face is silent.
The onlookers saw that this person was dressed rudely, had a dignified appearance, and had extremely high martial arts, and they already thought of someone in their hearts: "Nan Yunfei!"
A hundred years ago, the beggar gang was the largest gang in the world, since following Nan Jiyun to resist the enemy, the good hands have been killed and wounded, although there are not many masters, but they are very respectable, and it is a large group of heroes who have developed their ambitions.
After the Anshi Rebellion, although the beggar gang was respected by the imperial court, there were many casualties, and more than half of the population of the Central Plains was killed and injured, so it was even more difficult recently.
Fifteen years ago, after the beggar gang participated in the Iron Mole Technique Demon Fighting Sect, there was only one boy left on the scene who had good kung fu and did not die, and this young man was taken away and taken in by the hero Nan Jiyun, and this young man was Nan Yunfei.
After the death of Shangguan Yi, the previous leader of the beggar gang, the beggar gang failed to elect the gang leader twice, and Lu Qian, the nine-bag disciple, was the most valuable, but Lu Qian had no interest in the gang leader.
For the time being, the elder and the only nine-bag disciple Lu Qian are in charge of all the big and small things in the gang, Lu Qian is not good at receiving people and things in his life, and his personality is even more upright and selfless, and under his leadership, the beggar gang is almost withering.
Being a beggar is already scolded a lot, and when he returns to the gang, he has to be trained by Lu Qian, and the number of personnel is getting smaller and smaller.
Many years ago, the Shangguan Gang asked Luo Bing to be the deputy gang leader, and he intended to cultivate it, but Luo Bing Shenlong saw that he couldn't see the end than Lu Qian, and he had to give up.
Although Luo Bing was promoted to the deputy gang leader, he didn't have to ask about the things in the gang, and a few years ago, he became the deputy commander of Qianniu, leading the criminal department to visit the post.
Among the young talents of the Beggar Gang, only eight bags of disciples, Nanyun Fei, came out of the shadows.
Ouyang Qing saw that although this person was born, he was angry, and he guessed that it was Nan Yunfei, so he arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency is so handsome and kung fu, dare to ask your surname?"
The man arched his hand and said, "I'm Nan Yunfei, and I don't want to see the people of Ouchi in my life, so I'm a little offended." ”
Ouyang Qing smiled and said: "How dare you, Brother Nan's martial arts are far superior, how can you say that you are offended?" It's just that this Lord Bao is a distinguished guest, and I hope that Brother Nan will raise his noble hand and be grateful." ”
Nan Yunfei sneered: "The people of Shaolin, Qingcheng, and Kongtong sit in the middle, and they are in a decent position, and my beggar gang is an evil faction, is this not taking my beggar gang seriously?"
Ouyang Qing took two steps forward, and the smile on his face did not change: "Brother Nan forgives his sins, where is the place to speak?"
That means that the sitting is casual and not arranged, but the heroes in the rivers and lakes automatically gave up the middle seat to Shaolin, and Ouyang Qing did not have anything wrong with this.
The Wudang faction was originally the highest martial artist in the previous session, but Chu Zhaohe somehow closed his room and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the Wudang heir was originally Luo Bing, and there was also a lack of successors, except for Wudang, the other major sects were all there.
What Ouyang Qing means is that how to sit is arranged by yourself, and it is not about my Dali Temple. The meaning of the words is that the position of your green forest has nothing to do with my Dali Temple.
Ouyang Qing was talking here, but one hand was stretched out, as if he wanted to grab Nan Yunfei's shoulder, which was quite a gesture of goodwill. Nan Yunfei's face changed, and as soon as he turned his palm, he buckled it towards the "Lao Gong Acupoint" in Ouyang Qing's palm.
Ouyang Qing saw that his grasp had already covered all the big points in his upper body, and when there were other powerful things, if he wanted to crack them all, he would inevitably fight with them, so he simply responded to all changes with the same, so he only stretched out his hand and did not move, allowing him to clasp his palm.
Kong Jian was taken aback when he saw it, "Dragon Catcher" is a difficult learning for the beggar gang, and it can be called the difficulty of the beggar gang is no less difficult than the "dog stick method", I don't think that Nan Yunfei has practiced like this, and the day of the beggar gang's emergence is probably coming.
Ouyang Qing's move was very dangerous, it can be said that he gave the key point to others, and sure enough, Nan Yunfei suppressed the "Lao Gong Acupoint", his thumb and index finger were tightly clasped, and a wave of energy came out of his palm and went straight along the Taiyin Lung Meridian of his hand.
Ouyang Qing was unwilling to act recklessly, so he didn't move for a while, allowing this person's internal force to invade his body. The two masters touched each other, Nan Yunfei couldn't help but feel a slight frustration, only to feel that Ouyang Qing's internal breath situation was quite authentic, and the internal force in the meridians was dull, if there seemed to be nothing, but the external energy touched it but disappeared without a trace, such a skill, it was like the inner kung fu of the Great Interior.
Ouyang Qing's internal skills, for his family martial arts, the orthodox internal strength holds the Yuan Shouyi, and the way of attacking on behalf of the defender, the great internal mastery is not a comparison of the martial arts functions of the rivers and lakes, but also a collection of rivers and lakes, although it has been converged at this time, it has made Nan Yunfei surprised in his heart.
Nan Yunfei tried this, knowing that he was half a catty and eight taels, and was about to let go, he suddenly felt that Ouyang Qing's internal strength seemed to be weak, but in fact, he still hid a lot of strength, but the strength was not very strong, he was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Ouyang Qing still has other martial arts?"
Ouyang Qing is an old man, and the martial arts characters only need to make a move with him to know the level of the other party. Unexpectedly, Nan Yunfei actually took a deep breath, gathered his internal strength and stepped up his actions, his heart was slightly angry, and he was lucky at the moment.
Nanyun Fei Beggar's Gang Orthodox Kung Fu, taking the fierce road, Meng was shocked at this moment that the other party's true qi was faint, as strong as a sword, and his breath had counterattacked back in an instant. Nan Yunfei was shocked and was about to let go, but he was already a step too late, only to feel a strong and incomparable true qi hit his wrist.
Nan Yunfei was taken aback, and said secretly: "There are still such masters in the imperial court, and they are all straw bales in the imperial court, what kind of kung fu is this that they can actually fight with the dragon snatcher!"
Although there are many martial arts methods in the world, all the laws lie in penance.
He didn't know that Ouyang Qing had been studying, pondering, and cultivating hard in the past two months, and his progress was incredible.
Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, Nan Yunfei was both shocked and admired, and his hostility disappeared, so he let go of Bao Ziyun's shoulder at the moment, and Ouyang Qing took him, and entered the inner courtyard, and the others followed.
It is also a trouble to arrange Bao Ziyun to sit down, after all, it is not a good thing to offend anyone, it took a lot of time, and finally solved this problem, fortunately, Ouyang Qing has the grace to save Bao Ziyun's life, and he is also obedient to Ouyang Qing.
It's just that there is a little girl in Tsing Yi next to Bao Ziyun, who has been lowering his head and not speaking, holding a jade wat in his hand, his steps are floating and vibrating, obviously he doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't say a word from beginning to end, but Bao Ziyun is quite in awe of him, and he is secretly curious.
Ouyang Qing saw that the visitors had almost arrived, so he stood up and said loudly: "Thank you for coming here to cheer, I am deeply honored to be in Dali Temple!"
Dali Temple was quiet, and even the birds outside the courtyard did not fly over.
Ouyang Qing smiled, but Wen Xing reported: "Dali Temple...... The road is long and windy!"
The already quiet Dali Temple immediately fell into a dead silence, and the heroes looked at each other, all of them had a thought in their hearts: "I can't imagine that Lu Changfeng really dares to come!"
Many people here are excited, after all, the reason why they came to Luoyang is to kill Lu Changfeng to take revenge!
In front of the gate of Dali Temple, a spacious carriage stopped at the door.
Ouyang Qing was about to walk quickly to Lu Changfeng's carriage, when he suddenly saw Xiao Yue's delicate figure flashing from the inner room and beckoned to him.
Although there were many guests here, in Ouyang Qing's eyes, it was far less than Xiao Yue, so he walked in quickly and said softly, "Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Yue seemed to hesitate, looked at Lu Changfeng's carriage, bit her lip, and said, "This Lu Changfeng ...... I have something to say......"
Ouyang Qing frowned and said, "What do you want to say now?"
Xiao Yue lowered her head, and for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and said, "Do you remember that day in East Lake, Brother Luo went into the cave to save me and was trapped inside?"
Ouyang Qing nodded, and Xiao Yue continued: "Before, Lu Changfeng came to rescue Hu Miji and stunned me...... He untied my close-fitting ...... The belly pocket hung on the tree...... "When I said the last few words, the sound was like a mosquito, almost inaudible."
Ouyang Qing's face changed greatly.
Staring at the carriage that slowly drove in by Lu Changfeng, he showed an angry look.
As soon as the carriage stopped, I saw a figure flashing, and Lu Changfeng was already sitting at the table, which was full of old Dali, so naturally he would not be disgusted.
Hu Miji also got out of the car and sat beside Lu Changfeng, although she wore a veil, a pair of bright eyes were looking forward to the brilliance, and all the eyes in Dali Temple except Shaolin were naturally pointed here.
Ouyang Qing looked angry, sat back at the banquet, stared at Lu Changfeng, saw Lu Changfeng pick up the wine glass, and suddenly reprimanded: "Lu Siqing, the wine here, I'm afraid you don't deserve to drink!"
As soon as these words came out, the heroes were stunned, even Bao Ziyun couldn't imagine that Ouyang Qing would say such words, seeing him let Lu Changfeng in before, he was obviously willing to help, but he didn't expect to say a few words to a woman in the back room, and his attitude changed so much.
When Lu Changfeng heard this, he held the wine glass in his hand and did not say anything.
As if he wanted to say something, but he never said it, he raised his head and drank a jar of wine on the table.
In the past few months, the fierce battles and false accusations, and the heroes have faced Lu Changfeng several times, but they have not made him afraid.
Seeing Lu Changfeng's expression today, it was the first time that the cold air appeared, and he knew that Lu Changfeng did have something unspeakable in his heart.
Many people in Qunhao secretly praised in their hearts: "It is worthy of Ouyang Qing, and only he can call the road long." ”
Wen Xing looked at the changes, frowned and said: "Brother Ouyang, no matter what, Lu Changfeng is also my Dali Siqing, without the emperor's appointment and dismissal, he is still the commander here, you are doing this is a bit excessive!"
Ouyang Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "This matter is my private matter, I have already decided, I can't help it!"
Wen Xing's face sank, and he stood up and said: "Ouyang Qing, Lu Changfeng is everyone's brother in life and death, and even more so, our Siqing, if you abandon him like this today, I am afraid that the brothers will also be dissatisfied in their hearts!"
His words were to warn Ouyang Qing that if he broke with Lu Changfeng, with Lu Changfeng's former prestige, there would inevitably be many people from Dali Temple who would go with him.
Ouyang Qing seemed to be thinking about this matter, and he was speechless for a long time, and then said coldly: "Lu Changfeng is not worthy of my move." Wen Xing, if you say anything to help him again, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Ouyang Qing was not a random person, but today he was suddenly domineering, and the heroes were a little stunned for a while.
However, the people of the Seven Great Sects over there were well-informed and more sophisticated, and said to Nanyunfei: "I think that Ouyang Qing's change is definitely related to that woman. ”
Nan Yunfei did not speak.
Lu Changfeng drank a jar of wine in the sky, slowly put the jar down, looked back at Ouyang Qingdao: "I came today, I didn't intend to argue with you, whether it was good or bad, I took care of my own affairs." It's just that why don't you think about it more, why is that?"
Ouyang Qinghan said: "What you do yourself, you must know in your heart, how do you match Dali Siqing like this!" Lu Changfeng said lightly: "I have no intention of being an official, since you have a lot of grievances, then say it." ”
Ouyang Qing raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "What?!"
Before Lu Changfeng could answer, Wen Xing was already angry and stood up.
Ouyang Qing said coldly: "If I don't kill him, I will be benevolent and righteous, but you have repeatedly rebelled, making me unbearable." ”
The hand pressed the internal strength of the table, and with a snort, a pair of chopsticks on the table shot out, one flew towards Wen Xing, and the other flew towards Lu Changfeng.
Wen Xing saw that the chopsticks were coming, and bent his fingers to flick them, but unexpectedly, the chopsticks fell, Wen Xing's fingers flicked empty, and the chopsticks were a little heavier on the middle acupoint on his chest, and Wen Xing immediately fell soft.
The chopsticks that flew towards Lu Changfeng, Lu Changfeng stretched out his fingers and flicked it lightly, only to hear the sound of "grabbing", the chopsticks were inserted into the table, and the heroes were shocked to see that Ouyang Qing's blow was so powerful.
Lu Changfeng was even more heartbroken, Ouyang Qing naturally knew what kind of martial arts he had, how could his internal strength increase so much in less than half a month, but why?
Qunxiong was also in his heart: "This time, can I escape?", and in an instant, the self-aware sect walked out with its own people, and it was too far away to even want to see the excitement.
The seven major sects also went to the three major sects, and the remaining four factions admired Lu Changfeng and Ouyang Qing's martial arts a little more. Ouyang Qing saw that Lu Changfeng's momentum was like a rainbow, and the anger in his heart aroused, and he touched a pair of chopsticks from someone else, and he was about to strike out again. Suddenly, someone outside the hospital shouted: "Luo Bing has arrived!"
