Chapter 148: The clouds roll and the flag horn falls
Yan Ruxi was afraid that Lu Zhuangyu would really draw his sword and go to You Jinwen to fight hard, but fortunately, Lu Zhuangyu was not a person who didn't know the depths, so he had to salute with everyone, but he was still cursing You Jinwen in his heart.
Seeing the heroes bowing their heads, the majestic drums and trumpets sounded again, the wind hunted, the clouds rolled up, and the flags danced wildly, but the sound of the drums and horns full of arrogance and contempt was clearly satirizing these big factions, and they were so down. Lu Zhuangyu's face was hideous, and he said softly: "It's really a shrimp play in the shallows of Longyou, and a tiger in Pingyang was bullied by dogs." ”
"Get up!" the leading disciple gave another order, and everyone stood up.
I don't know which bold person shouted, "Isn't it the martial arts supreme enthronement ceremony, where is You Jinwen? We want to see You Jinwen!" The disciple smiled and replied: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the Supreme will arrive later." ”
"We've waited until our legs and feet are numb, and when will we wait!" The man finally couldn't help it, got out of the crowd, and spread his hands helplessly shouter, and everyone saw that it turned out to be a disciple of the Burning Horse Gang, but the Ma Xiong Gang leader of the Burning Horse Gang had his arms broken, and although his life was saved, he was already a wasted person, and the affairs of the Burning Horse Gang were temporarily managed by the eldest disciple.
It is undeniable that what the man said is exactly what everyone thinks in their hearts, but when they see him blurt it out, they all sigh in their hearts. Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a sharp sword flew out of the hall, and a sword pierced the throat, leaving only a little scarlet mark on the throat, like cinnabar, and no blood gushed. In the next second, the poor disciple turned into a cold corpse with a frightened expression.
Seeing this, the rest of the Liema Gang only dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they had to silently collect the body and wait and see what happened.
"The Martial Arts Supreme has arrived!" the leading disciple looked back at the main hall, saw that everything was ready, and announced loudly. The disciples of Yiye Sword Gate shouted in unison: "Martial arts supreme, alone in the rivers and lakes, Wencheng martial arts, the world surrenders!" When everyone looked at the direction of the main hall again, they saw four disciples rushing down from the stone steps on both sides, holding a scroll-like banner in their hands, and four people each pulling in front of the hall to unfold the four banners.
The gray stone steps and the white marble dragon relief unfold four volumes of vermilion banners, the bright brocade is the pitch-black sixteen big characters, written exactly: martial arts supreme, alone in the rivers and lakes, Wencheng martial arts, the world surrenders. In addition, the banner is also embroidered with gold thread with nine dragons, which is extremely magnificent.
Just when everyone was shocked by the banner, a large flag was erected in front of the main hall, which was three or four feet long, embroidered with the logo of a leaf sword gate in the middle, and surrounded by a golden dragon next to it, and then there were four characters of small seals: Wulin Supreme.
A white shadow flew out of the hall, falling suddenly, and the toes landed steadily on the top of the banner, looking down on the heroes of the rivers and lakes, standing with their hands in their hands, and the momentum was extraordinary. Everyone fixed their eyes to look, and sure enough, it was You Jinwen, only to see that he was draped in black brocade and gold dragon on his shoulders, white jade velvet lining the edges, flying cloud pattern brocade falling close to his body, his waist hung three feet cold, his snow hair was tied high and he stood up with a golden crown, his eyebrows and starry eyes were heroic, and he was proud of who was the opponent in the world, and it was difficult to hide the devil's heart and pretend to be human skin.
As usual, he was dressed in a snow-white snow dragon cloud brocade robe, covered with a black velvet robe, and the purple gold dragon crown flashed with an extremely dazzling light, completely looking like a supreme deserved. You Jinwen stood on the banner like this, and after a long time, he said: "I am not talented, I am young and frivolous, and my qualifications are still shallow. However, the colleagues in the rivers and lakes are raised, and the predecessors are loved, and today I am fortunate to replace my master and become the supreme martial arts. ”
Hearing him mention Chu Yunshan, some people in the audience had already begun to whisper.
You Jinwen didn't care, and then said: "There are already unwritten rules on the rivers and lakes, but whoever can get the Jade Buddha can become the supreme martial arts and command the world." In the future, I will do my best to think about the future of the rivers and lakes and the future of all sects. ”
After a series of big words, someone asked impatiently: "I don't know where the Supreme Jade Buddha came from, is it true or false?" As soon as these words came out, he was grabbed by the person next to him and whispered: "You don't want to die?" But You Jinwen had already heard it in his ears, and just smiled: "Since some people have questions, then this seat will inform everyone of the ins and outs of this matter, so as not to let someone take it orally and be unconvinced." ”
After seeing You Jinwen's bloodthirsty and murderous appearance, extremely brutal appearance, and then looking at his humble gentleman, dignified and smiling appearance, everyone's hearts are hairy, it is really terrible to have such a deep city at a young age. You Jinwen's mind is definitely more terrifying than his martial arts. After all, the depth of people's hearts is like an ocean and unfathomable.
"I don't know if you know about Kexue Mountain Villa. You Jinwen asked with squinted eyes.
"Kexue Villa?" just four words made everyone explode, gossiping and discussing, everyone present knew that the Jade Buddha was originally the thing of Kexue Villa, but the previous Jade Buddha Conference had explained that Kexue Villa was destroyed as early as ten years ago, and the Jade Buddha was also stolen, and then for some reason it was lost in the rivers and lakes, and it was occasionally obtained by Chu Yunshan.
This led to the previous Jade Buddha Conference, which led to a series of bloody storms after this. But as for where Chu Yunshan got the jade Buddha, everyone had no way of knowing.
You Jinwen then explained: "Before the Jade Buddha Conference, the family teacher took me down the mountain to practice, but I didn't want to meet a group of people from the rivers and lakes and people from the government fighting for life and death along the way, as if they were robbing something. Out of a righteous heart, the family teacher helped out, although he drove away the people from the government, but he failed to save those Jianghu people. The dying Jianghu people handed over a package to the family teacher, and in that package, it was the white jade Buddha statue that could command the rivers and lakes!"
But where did those people in the rivers and lakes get such a precious Jade Buddha, and why did the Jade Buddha wander into the rivers and lakes? When a mystery was solved, it was another puzzle, and everyone talked about it, and the field suddenly became noisy, but You Jinwen only raised his arm slightly and pressed it down, and the overwhelming strong oppressive force made everyone quiet again.
The wind swept up the corners of his clothes and fluttered, You Jinwen's figure was still steady, and the voice could penetrate the wind, so that everyone present could hear it clearly: "After getting the Jade Buddha, the family teacher will never swallow it alone, for the sake of the justice of the rivers and lakes, the Jade Buddha Conference was held, and the agreement was made with each sect, and the winner of the championship could have the Jade Buddha and become the leader of the martial arts alliance." And after the Jade Buddha Conference, I won the championship in one fell swoop, and I should become the supreme martial arts. ”
"But after the Jade Buddha Conference, because of your one-leaf sword gate, the vitality of each sect and faction was damaged, and even the Jade Buddha was snatched away, how do you explain?"
A bold man asked.
You Jinwen did not conceal it, did not disguise it, and immediately replied: "Yes! After the Jade Buddha Conference, my Yiye Sword Gate was actually surrounded and suppressed by the Dongling Prince of the current imperial court and the officers and soldiers of Yaoye Mansion under the pretext of encirclement and suppression, and all the sects and factions were damaged, so I was not injured as soon as I was in the Ye Sword Gate? Not to mention that afterwards, we were also responsible for repelling the officers and soldiers and treating the injured disciples of the various sects, just because the family teacher was kind. But the jade Buddha was taken away by the prince of Tanglin. ”
The younger generation may not know the name of Qing Xuanyi, but the heads of various sects will never know each other, this has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a while, and it is really embarrassing that he does not want to reappear as a lackey of the court after disappearing for a long time. And what made everyone even more frightened was that the imperial court also intervened in the Jade Buddha matter.
Jianghu people have always been reluctant to have grievances with the court, but they are not afraid of the court. It's just a lot of trouble, which is not good.
And as the saying goes, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, no matter how high the martial arts of the Jianghu people are, the imperial army will eventually be a vicious battle of life and death, and both sides will be defeated. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, there must be no conflict with the imperial court.
You Jinwen seems to have seen through their minds, in his eyes, the so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes are just cowardly rats, ants who steal their lives, lambs to be slaughtered, and will only blindly back down. You Jinwen continued: "After the Qing Xuanqi took away the Jade Buddha, the Jade Buddha fell into the hands of the Tanglin Prince. And it was from him that I recaptured the Jade Buddha. ”
You Jinwen said calmly, but as soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked and stunned. Everyone didn't know whether this was true or not, they only knew that if this Jade Buddha was true, then You Jinwen was already against the imperial court, and if he wanted to come to the imperial court, he would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress him. Even if he could escape, the Sword Gate would be reduced to ruins.
"Everyone in the world knows that the Jade Buddha can penetrate the heavens and the earth, and those who possess it can dominate the rivers and lakes with its power, but many people have studied for a long time and do not know the secret. But I didn't know that the jade Buddha was originally a twin thing, a hundred years ago the natural spirit jade, in addition to the magic carved a jade Buddha, there is also a jade bottle. These two treasures share the same root and origin, and one is indispensable. It is necessary to collect both objects in order to uncover the mystery. ”
You Jinwen's words again and again were amazing, which had already stunned everyone present and was speechless. The jade Buddha is a mysterious thing, and now a jade bottle has emerged, the two have the same root and the same origin, this statement, the rivers and lakes have never heard of it, unbelievable, and incredible.
Qiao Butong of the Qiankun faction pinched his throat and stroked his beard and asked: "Hmph, what the Supreme said is the Tao, but we have no way of knowing whether it is true or not." If there is no evidence, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince people based on the one-sided words of the Supreme alone. I don't know where the Supreme came from to know the saying of the same root and the same origin?" Although this old fox has lost all his martial arts, he is still full of bad water.
You Jinwen had long expected that someone would ask this question, smiled slightly, turned his body slightly, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the top of the hall, and said loudly: "The enthronement ceremony is not over yet, this seat has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, please enter the hall and sit down, and the rest of the disciples are all in the martial arts arena, and someone will take care of them." With that, he turned around, tiptoed, and flew up to the main hall.
The heads of the various sects glanced at each other, and saw that You Jinwen had no intention and no reason to harm them, so they walked quickly towards the main hall together. Only the disciples of each sect were left to set up a table and hold a banquet on the martial arts arena.
Before leaving, Lin Ruxue pulled Lu Zhuangyu's sleeve, looked back, and Lin Yan and the two said in unison: "Be careful in everything, don't conflict with it." Lu Zhuangyu nodded slightly and stepped up to the hall.
You Jinwen took the first step and sat down in the central seat. There are ten incense cases on the left and right, and the incense cases are connected from end to end, with a distance of one foot and seven inches in the middle. Everyone looked around the main hall, extremely spacious, more than 20 tables were more than enough, carved railings and painted buildings, resplendent gold, it was like a small palace. Just behind the central seat is the spiritual seat of Chu Yunshan, and there is a large plaque with golden characters hanging directly above, which is written in the four big characters of the Supreme of Martial Arts.
On the table are fresh seasonal melons and fruits, as well as braised carp and a handful of green onions. The red roast goose is big and meaty. The chicken broth, which has been boiled for several hours, has a strong aroma. The leg of lamb is extremely tender, roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, fat and lean.
There are also fried vegetables and other delicacies, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and growing in the soil. Red, green, and green, full of appetite and hearty. There is also an urn of fine wine on the side of the incense case, and it seems that You Jinwen has not lost his blood this time.
To the surprise of the leaders, when they entered the main hall, in addition to You Jinwen, there were two people sitting here in the hall, and these two people were Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an. The two of them sat behind the table with expressionless faces, their hands on their knees, without saying a word, only rolling their eyes, staring at the heads of the house, as if reminding them of something.
But that Lu Zhuangyu saw one more Chu Qing'an, but he couldn't find the clues.
However, no one cared about their subtle movements at all, and after all the heads of the sect sat down, You Jinwen looked at Lu Zhuangyu, who was staring at the table full of dishes, and asked with a smile: "Elder Lu, why did the Western Sword Sect let you go to the palace, and where is the head of Lin?"
Lu Zhuang Yu wanted to ridicule him, but remembered the instructions of Lin Ruxue and the others, so he had to hold back the words that had come to his mouth, and replied calmly after a while: "Last night, Master Lin has given me the position of head of the sect, what's the matter, does the Martial Arts Supreme still want to meddle in the internal affairs of my Western Sword Sect?"
You Jinwen laughed loudly: "It's so good. ”
Although Guo Weiyang, the palace master of the Wuqiu Palace, has lost all his martial arts, his temperament is still there, he is still full of heroism, he sat down cross-legged, covered his calves with a red skirt, and with a hint of anger in his eyebrows, he turned his head and asked You Jinwen: "The Supreme Fang just refused to say it clearly, and now that he has recruited us to the palace, can you tell us about the same root and the same origin, and by the way, meet the legendary jade bottle." ”
You Jinwen turned his head to look at her, still smiling like a spring breeze and replied, "Palace Master Guo is really fast-talking. After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the disciple outside the door raised his hands above his head, holding a red brocade package, walked quickly up to the hall, walked to the center of the main hall, and then stopped and knelt down on one knee.
You Jinwen slowly came to him, opened the red brocade with one hand, and a pure white jade bottle with exquisite carvings was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, the jade bottle also showed a faint blue light, the jade color was pure white and flawless, and it was completely integrated, and the jade Buddha really had the same effect.
It's just that, but it still can't convince everyone that this jade bottle can be as precious as the extremely mysterious Jade Buddha. Sure enough, Qiao Butong snorted coldly again, pouted and said disdainfully: "Like this kind of jade bottle, if I want it from the Qiankun Sect, buy a few pieces of jade, and ask a jade craftsman to make ten or eight, I don't know where the Supreme came from to deceive us." ”
"Legend has it that the jade Buddha knife and axe are difficult to hurt, and water and fire are not damaged, and this jade bottle must be the same. If the head of Qiao doesn't believe it, you can give it a try, if you can damage this jade bottle in the slightest, this martial arts supreme position, this seat will let you do it. You Jinwen was not angry and arrogant, Qiao Butong knew that his martial arts had been lost and he had no capital to fight against him, so he had to admit it, hang his head, and say no more.
And Lu Nan of the Oriental Sword Sect regretted that he had already had grievances in his heart, thinking that his decades of painstaking cultivation were sucked away by a junior in his later life, causing him to be like a waste person, although the swordsmanship moves are still there, but he has no skills, and it is difficult to take charge of the sect again. Seeing that there was an opportunity to make things difficult for You Jinwen, he naturally wouldn't let it go:
"Even so, it doesn't mean that the jade bottle is a rare treasure, I'm afraid it's not a cover used by the Supreme to hide people's eyes and ears and fish in troubled waters. If he can't come up with conclusive evidence, the old man really can't believe it. You Jinwen then put the jade bottle back in its place, covered it with red brocade, waved his hand, and motioned for the disciple to retreat.
Walking to Dao Xueke's side, Dao Xueke's afterglow fell on You Jinwen, his lips trembled, but he didn't know anything. You Jinwen patted Dao Xueke's shoulder, and said to everyone with a smile: "Do you know this person?"
"Naturally, I know that this person is not the sword snowman who once showed his skills at the Jade Buddha Conference and the Ten Ghost Hall. It's just that I don't know that the Ten Ghost Hall did not participate in the martial arts conference this time. Why didn't he appear at Yiye Sword Gate?" asked Guo Weiyang.
You Jinwen then explained: "I think you all only know Dao Xueke, but you don't know Su Lingxue. ”
"Su Lingxue?" everyone was puzzled and confused. And the eyes of Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an became more and more fierce.
You Jinwen walked to the hall, suddenly stopped, turned his feet, and pointed to Dao Xueke and said: "The famous Dao Xueke on the rivers and lakes is actually the orphan of Kexue Mountain Villa ten years ago, the only son of Su Shang, the owner of Kexue Mountain Villa, Su Lingxue!
Everyone exclaimed one after another, a legend is a legend after all, even if you get the Jade Buddha and can't exert its strength, it's just a good-looking ornament, no different from ordinary products. Although everyone didn't know whether what You Jinwen said was true or false, they thought in their hearts that this was by no means groundless. Moreover, there have been rumors on the rivers and lakes today that although the Lobbyist Snow Villa has been destroyed, there are still disciples left behind, and it is not impossible that the Dao Xueke is the young owner of the Kexue Villa.
"Dao Xueke, are you really Su Shang's son Su Lingxue?" Lu Nan asked regretfully. Dao Xueke didn't say a word, still sitting still, ignoring it. Lu Nan regretted that he was suspicious, and glanced at the Northern Sword Sect Shan Zizhi opposite, and the Shan Zizhi asked again: "Dao Xueke, are you really the young owner of Kexue Mountain Villa, Su Lingxue, the son of Su Shang?"
The Knife Snowman remained silent.
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled by what it meant, and Jiangnan Zhuge who was well versed in the way of acupoints secretly looked at it, and had already seen that the Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an had been pointed at the acupoints, so they didn't move at all. Taking advantage of You Jinwen's inattention, he gently picked up a peanut with two fingers, suddenly made a move, and threw the peanut out as soon as his arm was raised.
