Jianghu, simply put, is all kinds of people, all kinds of disputes and calculations, human feelings, these are connected to form a big net, as long as you step into it, in fact, you have been deeply involved in it, even if you want to wash your hands, most people still have no way to get out.

Hong Kaitai said with a smile:

"One of our three old friends made a very interesting analogy at least, the rivers and lakes are actually like a spider's web, everyone is a spider on the web, so you should never think that you are the biggest one on the web, and that sooner or later you will be gone. ”

About forty years ago, there were two organizations in the rivers and lakes that thought they were the largest, one was called the Sword Alliance and the other was called the Slanting Moon Sect, one good and one evil in the eyes of the world.

The Sword Alliance was formed by the Eight Famous Sword Sects in Mingsha Mountain, and finally He Tianxing, the head of the Kunlun Sword Sect of Yinchuan Dao, served as the first leader of the Alliance.

The seven major sects of Huashan Sword Sect, Songshan Sword Sect, Qingcheng Sword Sect, Tianshan Sword Sect, Changbai Sword Sect, Lingnan Sword Sect, and Tianmu Sword Sect who participated in the alliance were originally the most prestigious and decent leaders in the rivers and lakes, and their disciples were all over the world.

These seven heads served as the deacons and elders of the Sword Alliance Elders' Meeting, and several major sects reached an alliance, and they were both prosperous and lossy, and they were in the limelight for a while, and many gangs and villas that considered themselves decent were obedient and attached.

But at that time, Wudang and Emei did not participate, especially Wudang, although they rarely participated in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, but who dared to underestimate the swordsmanship of the seventy-two roads and two instruments, especially Wudang, who was strict with his disciples and had strict rules.

He Tianxing, the first head of the Sword League, personally went up the mountain three times to persuade Wudang to conspire with great things, but was rejected by Yun Taozi, the head of Wudang at that time.

However, the head of Emei, Wuning Shitai, refused to do it on the grounds that his disciples were all women, and it was suitable for Qing cultivation on the mountain, and it was not suitable to set foot in the red dust.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Sword Alliance, some rules were formulated to restrain the people of the rivers and lakes, which had a great deterrent to the rivers and lakes at that time, and threw out the slogan of eliminating demons and defending the way, wanting to take the opportunity to unify the righteous path of martial arts.

Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and the same is true for rivers and lakes.

Soon after the establishment of the Sword Alliance, Duanmu Katsunan, the leader of the Demon Dao Sect of the Demon Dao Giant of the Devil's Dao, issued the Oblique Moon Order, summoning some sects and cottages that are not tolerated by the righteous path in the world to gather in Lingnan Dao.

Lu Yi asked curiously:

"Are all demons who kill people without blinking?"

Nangong Bumiao scoffed and said disdainfully:

"What is good and evil? When the disputes in the rivers and lakes never subside, does every person who is famous and decent kill deserve to die? Or does everyone who dies at the hands of the devil not deserve to die? Just like the eight great families of the nine counties and eight families of Jiangnan Province, do you say that it is evil?"

Lu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Hong Kaitai smiled kindly, looked at Lu Yi and said:

Therefore, good and evil always exist only in people's hearts, and only those who can uphold justice and restrain themselves from acting can be worthy of being chivalrous. ”

After the establishment of the Sword Alliance, there has been constant friction with the Slanting Moon Sect, and during that time, disputes broke out in the rivers and lakes, and everyone was in danger for a while.

Lu Yi looked at the booklet in his hand and asked:

"But does this have anything to do with the Unphased Brahma Duel?"

Hong Kaitai reached out and took a sip of the teacup, and quipped:

"Don't worry, things have to be told to you slowly, one by one. ”

When the Sword League was established, a rule was jointly formulated, and the position of the leader of the Sword League was re-elected for a period of ten years, and the original intention of this rule was to avoid internal friction among the eight sword factions, and the original eight sword factions were not monolithic, and many sects also had grudges with each other, and they were not convinced by each other.

Nangong Bumiao sneered:

"You dig a hoe in the corner of my wall, and I knock you with a stick behind my back, which of the famous families and wealthy lords has done less. ”

Hong Kaitai pointed to the teacup and said angrily:

"Come!

Nangong was speechless.

The first alliance leader, He Tianxing, has superb swordsmanship and high morality, and the rest of the factions are also convinced of him, so serving as the alliance leader is expected by everyone, but the problem is here.

He Tianxing was less than fifty years old at that time, and he was in the prime of life, and he originally hoped to continue to serve as the leader of the alliance, but he died unexpectedly when his first term was about to end.

died on the bed of one of his favorite concubines, and the whereabouts of the concubine are unknown, which is still a major unsolved case in the rivers and lakes.

As soon as He Tianxing died unexpectedly, the entire Sword Alliance was suddenly leaderless, and he just caught up with the sword trial conference that had been agreed with the Leaning Moon Sect once every ten years.

The sword test conference, in fact, is a contest between the two giants of good and evil, each side sends ten masters, and the life and death in the ring are at their own risk, which is a rare opportunity for both sides to make a name for themselves, and the side with more wins in the end can get 100,000 taels of gold and the Jianghu Order.

"What is the Jianghu Order?"

Hong Kaitai had a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly:

"There is nothing special about the Jianghu Order, at the beginning it was rumored that there were unfathomable martial arts recorded on it, and later it turned out to be, it was a piece of Xuantie token, but who is in charge of it, it is a kind of identity symbol of the co-owner of the rivers and lakes, and it is admired by tens of thousands of people. ”

At this time, there were two rumors on the rivers and lakes, one said that in order to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance, He Tianxing was killed by the other seven major sects, and the other said that He Tianxing's concubine was originally Duanmu Shengnan's personal maidservant, and He Tianxing had already reached a consensus with the Demon Dao, as for who was splashing whose dirty water on both sides of the good and evil sides, it could not be verified.

The seven sword sect leaders in the Sword Alliance Elders' Council all coveted the position of the alliance leader, so the sword alliance was in turmoil for a while, with undercurrents surging and tension.

He Tianxing's only son, He Qiao, was just twenty years old that year, and his swordsmanship had won his father's true inheritance, seeing that the elders of the Sword Alliance were quarreling for the position of the leader of the alliance, and no one was willing to uphold justice for his dead father, one person and one sword made a big fuss about the Elders' Council, stabbed Mo Tiangan, the head of the Changbai Sword Sect, and Chen Zhenghua, the head of the Tianmu Sword Sect, completely broke with the Sword Alliance, and announced his withdrawal from the Sword Alliance with the Kunlun Sword Sect on the same day.

At this time, the Slanting Moon Sect sent an envoy to Mingsha Mountain, where the main hall of the Sword Alliance was located, to discuss the location of the sword test conference, but he didn't expect to meet He Qiao who took the Kunlun Sword Sect down the mountain as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the previous rumors in the rivers and lakes that He Tianxing's concubine was the servant girl of the leader of the Slanting Moon Sect caused a lot of uproar, and the two sides fought without saying a word.

Among the envoys sent by the Slanting Moon Sect, the most powerful should be the deputy sect leader Yang Pu and the tiger king Duanmu Xi among the four Dharma kings, a young man in his early twenties can serve as the deputy sect leader in the demon path giants with many masters, and his strength can be seen, and Duanmu Xi is the elder brother of the sect leader Duanmu Shengnan, and he is also the master of the Leaning Moon Sect.

When the Kunlun Sword Sect led by He Qiao saw that the entire army was about to be annihilated, the great monk of the Hanging Temple just arrived and dissuaded both sides from stopping in time, so as to preserve the Kunlun Sword Sect.

It turns out that He Tianxing has always had a good relationship with the Hanging Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, and when he was young, he had practiced in the temple for three years because of a personal relationship between his children, and he was regarded as half a lay disciple of the Hanging Temple.

After receiving the news of He Qiao's request for help, Master Puzhi, the abbot of the Hanging Temple, ordered Pu Xin, the elder of the King Kong Hall, and Pu Ming, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, to rush over with more than ten Guangzi warrior monks in the starry night.

In addition to the Sword League and the Leaning Moon Sect, of course, there are some famous schools with strong background, among which Buddhism is to the Zhongnan Mountain Hanging Temple, Taoism has Wudang Emei Sanqing and three factions, and the strength is the strongest in Wudang, and Confucianism has been entering the WTO to practice, has long been scattered, apprentices all over the world, take the road of helping the world, if you have to choose a representative, then it can only be the Fengtian Academy in Luoyang, the capital of the city, but it can no longer be regarded as a school of rivers and lakes, deeply engraved with the imprint of the court.

"You also forgot to say one. ”

Nangong reminded him.

Hong Kaitai shook his hand and said:

"Although our beggar gang was respected as the largest gang in the world by our friends in the rivers and lakes, we really rarely participated in these grievances at that time. ”

"That's the rules of your gang, but who in the world dares to despise the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon?"

Lu Yi sighed in surprise and said with a smile:

"It turns out that Mr. Hong is a beggar. ”

Although Sun Yuan'er is a woman, it does not affect her yearning for the stories of the rivers and lakes at all, she stood up and added some boiling water to Hong Kaitai's cup, urging him to continue.

Nangong pointed at Hong Kaitai and said:

"He is the uncle of the beggar gang leader Hong Zhen, if you travel to the rivers and lakes in the future, and encounter the noisy smell of food, remember to take out the brand he gave you, those disciples and grandchildren will definitely entertain you with good wine and meat." ”

Lu Yi picked up the wooden sign hanging from his waist, looked at it, and put it away carefully.

Hong Kaitai moistened his throat and continued.

With the Hanging Temple presiding over the overall situation, the good and evil sides were able to sit down and discuss the sword test conference calmly, and the Sword Alliance had to temporarily put aside the suspicions under the interference of the Hanging Temple, but the internal contradictions had reached the point of irreconcilability, so that Master Puxin was helpless.

In the end, everyone agreed to put the sword test conference in Zhongnan Mountain, the Hanging Temple was originally hidden, and there was no conflict with the major sects in the rivers and lakes, so it was natural to reassure both sides, and the date was set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and both sides had no objections.

After Master Puxin mediated the conflict between the two sides, he left with the Kunlun Sword Sect, and took a detour to Wudang Mountain to visit Yun Taozi, the head of Wudang, and invited him to participate in the sword trial conference.

Yun Taozi and Master Puxin are close friends, and when they were young, they traveled the world together and had a very close personal relationship.

Moreover, this time, the Hanging Temple temporarily held a sword trial conference, and Master Puxin was also afraid of accidents, so under his sincere request, Yun Taozi agreed to participate.

Yun Taozi was already in his fifties at that time, he was obsessed with kendo all his life, and he was strict with his subordinates, and he was even more important in everything, and he was deeply respected by the people in the rivers and lakes.

Hong Kaitai looked at Lu Yi, Sun Yuan'er's eyes looking at him, and he smiled and said:

"Yes, Kaiyuan is my cousin, but we are very different in age, and I was a child when he was in charge of the beggar gang. ”

The first sword trial conference after the establishment of the Sword Alliance and the Slanting Moon Sect brought a great sensation to the entire rivers and lakes, because of the intervention of the Hanging Temple, Wudang, and the Beggars, there was really some atmosphere of a martial arts event.

But no one thought that the sword trial conference on the night of the full moon on August 15 would cause real turmoil and bloody rain in the rivers and lakes because of a martial arts cheats.

The Hanging Temple has three stunts of the town temple, which are widely known for the martial arts in the world, namely: Yijin Sutra, Arhat Fu Demon Gong, King Kong Seal, but there is actually a inheritance in the temple, it must be a vein of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to practice, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the real core of the Hanging Temple, although it does not ask about the world, rarely enters the WTO, but every monk who comes out of the Zangjing Pavilion to travel ascetic has left a legend in the rivers and lakes.

The secret of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the unphased Brahma decision, which contains three sets of recipes for the unphased Brahma Gong, Tianluo step, and the unphased knife.

Hong Kaitai looked at Lu Yi and said seriously:

"Now you know the weight of the booklet in your hand, although the three recipes of the above exercises do exist, and they are indeed the top cheats in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know how to complete it, that is to say, you have a treasure mountain, but there is no way to climb the mountain, maybe only the Hanging Temple Hidden Scripture Pavilion knows how to unlock it."

After speaking, he sighed and continued:

"Your opportunity is not small, although the rivers and lakes have forgotten about this matter, but if you know that the unphased Brahma is determined to come out of the rivers and lakes, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause, so you must take care of it, and the two of us will forget what we said and saw today when we walk out of this courtyard, you must remember." ”

After speaking, he looked at Sun Yuan'er again, and the latter quickly stood up and hugged his fists seriously:

"Yuan'er knows the severity, please rest assured. ”

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly:

"If the unphased Brahma is returned to the Hanging Temple......

Nangong waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said coldly:

"The Hanging Temple is not the Hanging Temple of forty years ago, the loss of the Phaseless Brahma Decision has made them unable to keep calm, especially the original hidden Scripture Pavilion, because this secret book in your hand has caused great murder on the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many innocent people have died because of it, if you return the secret, the people who have something to do with you will probably have corpses all over the field, and they will never allow people who have seen this secret book to live in the world, so you can't have this idea in the future, unless you have enough ability to protect the people around you. ”

Lu Yi was shocked into a cold sweat, and secretly screamed ashamed, thinking about things by himself was still too simple and too simple.

After thousands of years of precipitation and development, there are 1,000 monks in the temple under the inheritance of incense, and there are 2,000 monks and soldiers in the courtyard, and the foothills of Zhongnan Mountain are ten thousand hectares of fertile fields, and all the nearby villages and towns are basically tenants of the Hanging Temple, which is self-contained.

The place where the sword test conference is held is on the martial arts field in the mountain gate of the Hanging Temple, here is usually the place where the monks and soldiers are trained, there are more than 100 acres, and all the participants will not be crowded, and there are Wudang, beggar gang masters to help take care of it, and indeed dare not make a mistake.

Under the leadership of the sect leader Duanmu Shengnan, the Leaning Moon Sect did its best and arrived at the Hanging Temple on time to make an appointment, the deputy sect leader Yang Pu and Baili Xuan, and the four Dharma kings were the Dragon King Li Kangtian, the Tiger King Duanmu Xi, the Lion King Lu Tong, the Wolf King Qin Chong, the left and right two envoys Duanmu Changqing, Duanmu Yanyun, and a large number of other gang leaders and forty or fifty backbone members of the sect.

The Duanmu family was originally a big tribe in the 100,000 mountains of Lingnan Road, most of the people were She people, and there were very few Han people, but the tribe occupied a wide area, the land was fertile, and the people were thriving.

Duanmu Shengnan is a woman, she was only in her thirties at the time, and it can be seen from her name that she is an ambitious woman, famous and famous, but she has a delicate mind, decisive means, and unfathomable martial arts, otherwise it would be impossible to take charge of the Leaning Moon Sect as a woman, and she also made the sect work together.

Although there was a split within the Sword Alliance, and the old alliance leader Kunlun withdrew, the rest of the seven major sword factions also invited some hidden old monsters who originally went out to practice in retreat for this sword trial conference, and their strength was still not to be underestimated.

The sword test conference was originally planned to be held for five days, but on the third day, Master Pu'e, the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Hanging Temple, personally rang the bronze bell of the mountain gate, and all the warrior monks and the two thousand monks and soldiers who rushed to the martial arts field surrounded the martial arts field, and the presiding abbot Puzhi, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall Puhui, and the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion Pu'e walked up to the stage with sad faces and told everyone that the unphased Brahma who had been kept in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion would never be gone! The thief was very likely to be hidden among the participants.

Both good and evil sides were in an uproar, although the Wuxiang Brahma is the secret of the Hanging Temple, but where is there a real impermeable wall in the rivers and lakes, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to practice the Wuxiang Brahma Determination Exercise is more or less there are people in the rivers and lakes who know, and many masters in the field also know the power of this set of world-class exercises, so everyone is also confused in an instant, greed, envy, and schadenfreude have all kinds of looks.

When the Elder Pu'e of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Hanging Temple proposed a search to show his innocence, both good and evil sides clamored to express their opposition, but suddenly became angry with the enemy!

Wudang Yuntaozi and the leader of the beggar gang, Hong Kaiyuan, have been sitting on the stage with their eyes closed and recuperating, without saying a word, and they also sneered at the rough method proposed by the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Hanging Temple, Pu'e.

As the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Master Pu'e has never set foot in the rivers and lakes in his life, his temper is hot and irritable, and he is upright by nature, this time the inheritance cheats were stolen and the responsibility was the heaviest, and in a hurry, he ordered the warrior monk to capture some suspicious people with a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and most of the suspicious people he thought were following the Leaning Moon Sect to climb the mountain, where could Duanmu Shengnan bear this kind of grievance, so he took the lead in leading the masters of the sect to join the battle group, and then the Sword Alliance also started a melee with the approaching warrior monks.

Precisely:

The exercises of the world are moving, and the bloody wind and blood rain will gradually rise.
