Meng Zhenghong and Bei Ci knew that Zhang Cuishan and Tianying Sect Yin Susu were married and gave birth to a son, so they knew that they were weak and weak, and they couldn't provoke the two factions anyway, if Zhang Cuishan and his wife didn't say Xie Xun's whereabouts, they couldn't force them, but the major factions of the righteous path didn't have to be afraid of their two factions joining forces, so they thought that after March, they would follow each faction to the Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower to go to the banquet, but the masters of this faction may have some reputation in the rivers and lakes, but they are much inferior to the Wudang Five Heroes, so the two of them thought that they could move several uncles from Huashan to the palace, and they had a good chance of winning。

Half a month later, the ship sailed inland from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then went straight up the river in the Yangtze River, and arrived at the Zhenjiang area in a few days, Li Tuo transferred to the boat newly prepared by Meng Zhenghong and diverted the canal to Luoyang, and the three of Deng Qing were taken by Meng Zhenghong and several people to enjoy the Jinling area for many days, and half a month later they went boating on Taihu Lake, and had a good life.

Li Dao said goodbye to everyone, and meditated and practiced in the boat every day, he originally practiced hard, but three years ago he was pointed out by his senior brother after some of the many shortcomings of practicing swords. The two uncles said that the martial arts of the senior brother in charge are already the first in Huashan, and they can be compared with the patriarch of Guangningzi and the patriarch of Xiayunzi, which makes Li Dao admire and at the same time a little more motivated, so in the past three years, he has practiced more diligently, and he has been successful last year, and his skills are quite good, and his swordsmanship can also be called the first in Huashan, but he is still not satisfied, and always wants to go further and move closer to his senior brother.

"My holding Yuan Jin has been unable to advance in the past year, and if I continue to cultivate, I will only slowly accumulate internal strength, and I will ask my senior brother to teach mixed Yuan Gong when I return to the mountain this time. After Li Dao finished practicing the exercises for a week, he sat idly and thought, "Senior Brother Deng has been practicing the Mixed Yuan Gong for some years, but I feel that the internal strength is only between me and me, so it can be seen that the practice should not be greedy and hopeful, and it really makes sense for Senior Brother Deng to let me practice step by step." ”

Thinking that although the boat ride was slower, it could spare more time to practice, so Li Dao returned to Huashan more than 20 days later, and after going up the mountain, he directly met Xian Yutong, and when he entered the Purple Qi Donglai Hall, he saw Hu Bao, the fifth oldest stele opener of the Kongtong faction, and Xihuazi of the Kunlun faction sitting on the next throne and talking to the senior brother in charge.

Xian Yutong's ears moved slightly and he heard that it was his fourth junior brother who was back, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu and Xihuazi Daoist sit down for a while, and my fourth junior brother is also back." ”

It turned out that after the factions returned to the mainland from overseas, Kunlun and Kongtong secretly discussed, if Wudang Zhang Cuishan returned to Wudang Mountain with his wife and children, they Wudang Seven Heroes discussed together indiscriminately, and after three months, there was no excuse, and if they wanted to play scoundrels, they must also prepare in advance, and they would not suffer if they were not good, so a lay disciple of Shaolin Yuanzhen Master proposed to let Xihuazi and Wei Siniang connect the factions, with Shaolin, Kunlun, Huashan, The four major factions of Kongtong led countless small factions to ask questions in advance, and two months later, on the ninth day of April, that is, Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, in the name of congratulatory birthday, Wudang could be speechless.

The two Kunlun and the five elders of Kongtong were naturally overjoyed, Tang Wenliang and Wei Siniang personally went to Shaolin and said to the abbot of Kongwen, and the Kunlun faction also had disciples who rushed back to the Kunlun faction to invite the master He Taichong, Shaolin, Kongtong, and Kunlun have all been done, only the Huashan faction, Zong Weixia and the head of Huashan have an old relationship, so they sent the fifth brother to invite them on behalf of themselves and Xihuazi.

The two of them went to Huashan in the morning to meet Xian Yutong, and as soon as they said the purpose after talking, they saw the righteous qi sword Li Tuo coming over, and after Xihuazi got up to introduce Hu Bao, he arched his hand at Li Tuo and said, "Mr. Li Si is back?"

Li Dao nodded and replied, "Brother Xihua Dao is a few points faster than Xia, and he actually arrived at Huashan before me." ”

Xian Yutong pulled Li Dao and said: "This is the fifth brother Hu Bao, the founder of the five elders of Kongtong, you are so close." ”

The bearded leopard was tall and burly, with a full beard, and he looked fifty years old, and after getting up and politely saluting Li Dao, everyone sat down again.

Seeing that the two outsiders were here, Li Dao was inconvenient to speak, so he just sat and drank tea, Xihuazi was the most impatient, and said: "Mr. Xianyu, I have already told all the overseas things, you must also know that the situation is urgent, the Wudang faction and the Tianying Sect are not even as good as Shaolin, how can the hatred between the various sects and Xie Xun thieves in the rivers and lakes be resolved? ”

Xian Yutong said indifferently: "Xihua Daoist friends are not in a hurry, my Huashan and Xie Xun actually have some hatred, a few disciples of this sect were killed by him back then, and I Huashan can't stand by and watch, but let's make trouble on Zhang Zhenren's birthday, is it too rude?"

Xihuazi said: "Let's just ask where Xie Xun is, and it's not difficult for the Wudang faction, what's the rudeness?"

Hu Bao said: "Yes, Shaolin, Kunlun and I Kongtong are all going to go, with Huashan joining, even Zhang Zhenren must be afraid of three points, so we can let Zhang Cuishan explain truthfully!"

Xian Yutong hesitated at first, Xihuazi and Hu Bao couldn't help persuading, and finally Xian Yutong nodded and said: "It's more than three months now, if we say that we will leave in a few days, I have a lot of affairs in Huashan, and I need to step up the processing, and when the time comes, I will not delay the time." ”

When the two heard this, they glanced at each other, then got up to say goodbye, and Xian Yutong stayed a few times before eating some food on Huashan and then going down the mountain.

After the two left, Li Dao told Xian Yu Tong what he had seen and heard overseas, and Xian Yu listened carefully this time, asking for details about every detail, and then muttered: "That is, there are no variables, and I don't know if there will be deaths next month......

Li Dao called Xian Yu Tongcai twice and woke up and asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you come back together, Senior Brother Deng, Senior Brother Wang, and Gongyuan?"

Li Dao said: "There is nothing to do in the door now, Meng Zhenghong and the humble words of the Sanjiang Gang want to invite us to enjoy the scenery of the West Lake, I have no intention of playing and will come back first, they are estimated to return later." ”

"It's good to have fun, after a few years of uprisings and rebellions in various places, the situation is turbulent, even if you want to play, you can't play. Xian Yutong sighed and said, "Running back and forth for two months, crisscrossing thousands of miles, you must be very tired, go to rest first, and wait until tomorrow morning to talk about going to Wudang with the four uncles to celebrate your birthday." ”

Early the next morning, Xian Yutong sent Daotong to invite the four elders of Huashan, now Deng Chang's two old age is getting higher, the martial arts are not very high, and now it is a little regressive, so the upper and lower mountains are no longer down, only teach disciples on the mountain, ask some affairs, Yue Gao is only in his fifties, just in the prime of life, whether it is practice or internal affairs are very attentive, so the four elders of Huashan in Huashan Gate in the past two years have gradually become less famous, and the two elders of Huashan have become more and more famous.

Half an hour later, the four elders of Huashan and Li Dao came in, and after everyone sat down, Xian Yutong glanced at his wife Yao Mingzhu, who was becoming more and more temperamental, and then told Zhang Cuishan about his return from overseas and the Kongtong faction and the Kunlun faction asking for their help.

Deng Chang Erlao only felt that it was a good thing, so he opened his mouth in favor, Yue Gao Erlao was even more excited, that Zhang Sanfeng has been famous for more than 70 years, has long been a legend in the martial arts, and the Wudang faction he created is fighting against Shaolin Temple, and Huashan, which is also a Taoist sect, is not light, there was no chance in the past, the second elder naturally did not say, and now there is a chance to go to Wudang with Shaolin, Kunlun, Kongtong and other factions to fall into Wudang's face, they are naturally happy, they all applauded and laughed, Yue Lin said: " Let's let all factions see the essence of Huashan, and call all the elite disciples of the previous Dabi back and go together!"

Gao Zhicheng said: "What Senior Brother said is, if we start with that old Dao, who can withstand the palm of his nearly 100 years of skill? ”

Xian Yutong shook his head and said: "You only know one but don't know the other, first, we are not serious sufferers, the three disciples who died in Luoyang have no evidence, and it may not be Xie Xun's doing, maybe it is other demons, and secondly, the three monks of Shaolin Temple must also go, how can we compare with the three major monks of Shaolin? Third, there are Shaolin leaders, but we can't participate in the fight against Wudang, we are all Taoist disciples, Xuanmen Yiyu, how can we help the monk bully the Taoist?"

Gao Zhicheng said: "That's the truth of the extreme, Wudang will press Huashan again, the scenery is our Taoist after all, if we help Shaolin to suppress the Wudang faction, we are sorry for the ancestors!"

Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard this, and after a while, Li Dao asked: "Senior brother in charge must have an idea, you might as well say it, if you have any orders, you should obey it." ”

When the four elders heard this, they saw that Xian Yu Tong Lao Shen was there, and they also spoke, Xian Yutong said with a smile: "Zhang Zhenren is the great master who shook the ancient and the modern, and several of his disciples are also extraordinary, and after a few years, Zhang Zhenren will be feathered, and the Wudang Seven Heroes and their disciples will all be powerful again, do you say that the Wudang faction is more majestic in the martial arts than it is now? ”
