Chapter 62: Open Struggle and Secret Fighting
The martial arts in the world are all respected for righteousness and chivalry, and although the Chongxu faction has prestige, it is only limited to the Jiangnan area. To the north of the Yellow River, there are still many sects in the Central Plains that are famous above the Chongxu faction. Now, after the previous martial arts alliance leader Murong Fei retired ten years ago, the martial arts has been in a leaderless situation in name only. The decent factions in the Jiangnan area have long supported themselves as the leaders of the alliance, but other sects may not think so.
Since ancient times, the choice of the leader of the alliance must not only be martial arts, but also have martial virtues to serve the public, this time may be just the right to take advantage of the ghost valley often sorrowful wind and cuiyun peak to build alchemy, it is better to go to the name of justice and prevent it from digging people's hearts and taking medicine to attract a good reputation, and win some martial arts chips for the future election of the martial arts alliance leader......
Within a few days, Han Sheng also completed the distribution of invitations for the 15-day trip to the Netherworld Ghost Valley in the Jiangnan area. The famous sword villa was also very angry after receiving it, the head of the house, Fang Su, was a righteous and awe-inspiring person, and he would never allow Chang Choufeng's ridiculous behavior to use any people's hearts as medicine, which was unheard of.
Fang Su threw aside the invitation letter given by Han Sheng after reading it, Fang Hua, the son of Fang Su, the young owner on the side, was more than thirty years old, standing aside and looking at his father's expression, he picked up the letter that was thrown away by his father and read it, he said slowly: "Dad, do you think you should discuss this matter with Guo Daxia of Jiangnan Chongxu, and join other decent people to go to the Netherworld Ghost Valley to stop Chang Choufeng." ”
Although Fang Su is the second head of the Famous Sword Villa, he has an impulsive and righteous personality, but he often acts recklessly, and he can have his son Fang Hua by his side, who can do things carefully and take care of the overall situation, Fang Su raised his head and said: "Then tell me, what are the benefits." ”
Fang Hua saw that his father intended to listen to his own opinions, and immediately put his thoughts out one by one: "Dad, although the rivers and lakes seem to be peaceful at the moment, they are actually full of dangers, first of all, the dragons have been leaderless for ten years, Murong Fei has lived in seclusion, and even the token of the martial arts alliance leader's token "I am the only one" to order the heroes of the world does not know what to do. If Murong Fei suddenly handed over the token one day, would it be possible to be so calm on the rivers and lakes at that time. And the election of the leader of the martial arts league must have both ability and political integrity. Mingjian Villa has been established for decades, and its status in the rivers and lakes has been increasingly consolidated, and the only one in Jiangnan who can compare with it is the Chongxu faction. ”
Fang Su nodded and acquiesced: "Yes, although Guo Huai is a rising star, he has outstanding martial arts and excellent morality, and he can be compared with the Famous Sword Villa."
Fang Hua continued: Because of this, we have to take the lead in gaining popularity, if we let the Chongxu faction initiate the first to contact other decent factions to deal with Chang Choufeng, then Guo Huai's reputation will be out of control. Now we have no choice but to contact other decent people first, and take the initiative to discuss with the Chong Xuan faction. I believe that at that time, my father's prestige in the rivers and lakes will be enough to convince everyone's admiration for my father, and Guo Huai has always had a chivalrous heart and will never snatch the respect of martial arts with my father. ”
Fang Su's face was happy, and he smiled: "Yes, it's better for me to be thoughtful, so I'll do it!"
The sects in the Central Plains, Lingzhi also sent out all the invitations. After reading the letter, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Zhikong clasped his hands together and proclaimed, "Amitabha Buddha! The rivers and lakes have only been peaceful for a few years, and I am afraid that I am often worried about the trouble, and I have to let the various sects find a reason to stir up trouble and fight." ”
"Abbot, should we come forward," asked Master Yuanying, the first member of the Discipline Academy, who was sitting cross-legged on the side.
Zhikong said: "My Buddha is merciful! Although the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with us, but to maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes, the Shaolin Temple has an unshirkable responsibility. Senior Brother Zhiming, you should arrange for the Eighteen Arhats of Bodhidharma to go down the mountain with you to meet with Master Jingyuan of Emei Mountain's Wuxin Nunnery, and rush to the Netherworld Ghost Valley with other decent people!"
Zhiming is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and his rank is second only to the abbot. Zhikong sent his junior brother to lead the eighteen Arhats to let the various sects in the rivers and lakes know the importance of Shaolin Temple, which is equivalent to Zhikong himself going in person.
The day before Lingzhi went to Shaolin Temple to deliver the letter, Master Zhikong had already received a letter from Master Jingyuan of Wuxin'an. Zhikong meditates and cultivates the six roots of the Buddha quietly, and he does not compete for fame and fortune in the things he sees, and his vision is a little clearer than that of the various factions in the rivers and lakes. He also knew that Chang Choufeng's alchemy in Cuiyun Peak was nothing more than an attempt to buy people's hearts, and use Dan as bait for various sects to compete, and then he would reap the benefits of the fisherman. Exchange martial arts cheats for pills and take what you need. He is obviously for money, but in fact he wants to disturb the rivers and lakes, and his fancy is far less simple than what he sees......
Fifty miles outside the Netherworld Ghost Valley, there is a small town, "called Liuke Town". Recently, some sects in the Central Plains have arrived one after another, the head of the Kongtong faction, Qian Dissatisfaction, led more than 20 disciples to arrive, and the head of the Songshan faction, Renault, led more than 50 disciples. Yu Jizi, the head of the Taishan faction, also brought more than 30 people, and Guan Jiuhai, the head of the Hengshan faction, led more than ten disciples... Nan Yuehang of the Huashan faction led more than 20 disciples, and there were other gangs of all sizes, and even the gangs led by Jiangnan Yiyi and Chongxu also arrived one after another. Jiangsu Taihu Gang, Jiaxing White Horse Villa, Hangzhou Famous Sword Three Factions... Guo Huan, the head of the Righteous Heroes Chongxu faction, has arrived...
