Chapter Twenty-Three: The Seven Factions Gather Four

Su Qingyao and I entered the Wangtian Hall from the side door, and at the patio at the top of the Wangtian Palace, the golden glow was shining down from there, reflecting on the circular pattern on the ground below, illuminating the entire hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the main hall, the five saints of Kunlun sat among them, the people of the six major sects and the eleven major forces on the rivers and lakes sat at the bottom, and the heads and high-level leaders of the rest of the rivers and lakes sects stood on both sides. Cheng Fuhai's seat was in the center of the main hall, and we ran over and stood behind him, and I stood behind Han Xiao and them, after all, I am not from Youyun Villa.

Sitting on the left and right of Cheng Fuhai were the people of Xuantiemen and Guigu. There were not many people coming from Xuantiemen this time, only a hundred or so people, and the leader was Cai Yueru. Compared with a year ago, she also hasn't changed much, with black lips and a fair face, she is not less glamorous, and there are only a dozen disciples standing behind her at this time. Sitting on the big chair in the Ghost Valley is a plain-looking silver-haired old man, the hair on the old man's head is very messy, it seems that he has not been combed for a long time, like a puff of grass, tied with a few straw ropes, and his body is also very plain. However, the few Guigu disciples standing behind him were neatly dressed, their bodies were dusty, and their clothes were gorgeous.

There are two or three hundred people in the whole hall, these two or three hundred people can be said to be the most famous people in the rivers and lakes today, the seven major sects, one valley, four villages and six gates are all in place, the head of the pie is big, the solemn, it is really a rare scene. When the two wolf mountains fought against the Demon Sect, the scene of the Iron Palm Gang leading us small sects in the rivers and lakes once again came to my mind, at that time we also had thousands of people, and the scene was not small, but compared to this time, it was nothing at all. With the convergence of the seven major sects this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are a rabble at that time.

The atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious, many people were greeting each other, talking and laughing, I looked around, but I didn't see Jiang Shun's figure.

The Fireheart Daoist was talking to Master Benming, and he didn't know what Master Benming said to him, but he saw the Fireheart Daoist arch his hand and smiled: "Where is the master, Master Benkong is still concerned about this under the busy Buddhist affairs, and this heart is really beyond my reach." ”

His laughter was very loud, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and the Fireheart Daoist glanced at the main hall, owed to Master Benming, stood up and said casually: "I think all the heroes of the rivers and lakes have arrived, and the old man will not say much useless words." Ten years later, the land of death is about to see the light of day, the Demon Sect is getting bigger and bigger, and we have a heavy responsibility, so we take it as our responsibility to eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao and prevent the Demon Sect from harming the martial arts. The fire heart is not talented, thanks to the love of all heroes and heroes, I can gather together with all the sages and gentlemen, and I am willing to do my best to support the foundation. ”

What he said was very calm, although I was no longer a decent person, but I was also excited to hear it, and looked around, and these people who had great backgrounds in the rivers and lakes also bowed their heads. At this time, a man with a black face in his fifties sitting at the bottom said, "Fireheart Daoist, do you know what the situation is on the Demon Sect's side?"

The man carried a scimitar at his waist, and the glass light on the scabbard was extremely gorgeous, and some of the people standing behind him also carried scimitars. Maybe this is the question that everyone wants to ask, now that the miasma of the Death Swamp is about to dissipate, and the Seven Great Sects and the various forces of the rivers and lakes have gathered here, then the movement of the Demon Sect is the most important thing.

The Fireheart Daoist nodded slightly, and said, "The Demon Sect Qinglong Altar has arrived in the Western Regions half a month ago, and according to the report of the outer disciples of my Kunlun Sect, there are also people from the Vermilion Bird Altar in Shacheng, as for the traces of the other two altars of the Demon Sect......"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning of his words was already obvious, and he didn't know the whereabouts of the other two altars of the Demon Sect. The people of the Vermilion Bird Altar that he said haunted Shacheng, and I couldn't help but think of some of the people who were in the Vermilion Bird Altar, and they were the people in the Vermilion Bird Altar.

An old man sitting on the left hand side of the big man spoke: "This old man has also heard that the people from the Vermilion Bird Altar have come to the Western Regions a year ago, and the daughter of Meng Youlan is also among them. As we all know, after Meng Youlan's death, the key to open the Shenlong Cave fell into the hands of his daughter, since Meng Youlan's daughter had already arrived in the Western Regions this time, I think that this time the Demon Sect must have a plan for the Shenlong Cave, and the people of the other two altars of the Demon Sect are already in the Western Regions. ”

The old man was dressed in an extremely luxurious manner, with a childish face, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. The group of people standing behind him were all dressed in red, each carrying two long swords behind their backs, and the hair on their heads was unexceptionally tied to the right side into a bun, which was very neat.

"Master Hu Zhuang, it's hard to say about this, have you forgotten that the people of the Demon Sect also appeared in the Land of Death the first two times? The last time the people of the Demon Sect also appeared in the Land of Death, can I still wait for a while? This conclusion is inevitably a little early. ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a strange face from the Emei faction, who was wearing a Taoist crown on his head, with straight facial features, clear eyebrows, and a whisk in his hand. Behind him, there were men and women among the Emei disciples standing, but none of them were carrying a long sword on their backs and wearing Taoist robes.

As soon as his words fell, someone catered to him: "Yes, what the head of the family said is extremely true, it is still too early to say at this time, the whereabouts of the Demon Sect have been erratic, so we still don't have to be suspicious." ”

The old man surnamed Hu laughed and said, "The old man is also worried, if the Demon Sect really appears in the Shenlong Cave this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to taste the wine brewed in Shacheng with Master Zhang, hehe." ”

His words were undoubtedly a joke, and many people laughed along with them. I looked at the old man and thought that the two rich and noble people sitting on the big chair next to him were Zhang Biaohu of Ziyuan Villa and Dong Liangjian of Hanquan Villa.

The three major mountain villas have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, each with its own merits, and they are all the forces of the rich side. Shadow Moon Villa is located in the northern part of the Central Plains, there are countless cities under its name, and the trade is mainly based on rare furs. The extreme north is cold and frozen, the animal fur is loved by the locals, among which the white bear skin is the most precious, the local people do not know the way of doing business, only use it to drive away the cold and keep warm, the white bear skin was purchased by the Shadow Moon Villa at a low price, and sold at a high price in the Central Plains, making a profit. Of course, this is only part of Shadowmoon Villa's trade. Hanquan Villa is located in the East China Sea, Zhuangzhong trade is dominated by rare treasures, the Central Plains coastal area of the Fang City have a place in Hanquan Villa, known as the "Golden Mountain on the Sea" name, Su Qingyao told me, Lu Jingzhao Mansion on the eight treasures exquisite coral is from the Hanquan Villa at a high price to buy, in the Hanquan Villa, there are a lot of treasures like this. Ziyuan Villa is also in the business and trade, and the Shadow Moon and Hanquan Villa are different, Ziyuan Villa trade is mainly antique calligraphy and painting, and the antique stalls opened are almost all over every state and county in the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Cheng Fuhai who was sitting in front of us. Youyun Villa is one of the four major villas in the rivers and lakes, but in terms of wealth, it is far less rich than the other three villages. In the past few days in Youyun Villa, I haven't heard Xiaoqing talk about any trade in the village, but if you want to say that the bottom is thin, I don't believe it, just look at the many fine pavilions at the foot of Youyun Mountain, you can know, those houses are built on a wide area, just like a town.

However, there are indeed a lot of talented people and strong martial arts in Youyun Villa, just like Yu Sangming, as well as the third pass keeper who has never shown up, Xiaoqing once told me that most of the people in Youyun Villa are desperate people on the rivers and lakes, probably the reason why Youyun Villa became famous in the rivers and lakes is mostly here.

The Fireheart Daoist smiled: "Since the Demon Sect is uncertain, we don't have to deliberately look for it, the purpose of the Demon Sect is the Divine Dragon Cave, we just need to wait and see what happens." If you don't have any objections, just follow the old rules. Ziyan, bring the map. ”

A Kunlun sect disciple behind him answered, and hurriedly ran towards the apse. At this time, the head of the Emei faction said lightly: "Huoxin Daoist, I heard that someone can be poisoned in his body and be safe, I don't know if this matter is true or false?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the Fireheart Daoist. The Fireheart Daoist smiled lightly, looked at us, and said, "This is indeed the case. Gu Shaoxia, will you come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and he followed the eyes of the Fireheart Daoist. I was a little overwhelmed, but I still stepped forward, hugged the Huoxin Daoist and the heads present, and said, "Junior Gu Tian, meet all the heads and seniors of the rivers and lakes." ”

Several sect leaders around stood up from their chairs at once, looking at me with strange expressions, and the discussion in the main hall also became loud, and one of them even shouted: "The rumors are true, there are really people who can resist the poison!"

Being watched by so many people, I can't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart, but I also have an irrepressible pride in my heart, and there is a feeling of raising my eyebrows. This can be regarded as a little famous, although I didn't rely on martial arts, but after all, I can also do something for martial arts, and the master and the master will be happy to know it. There are many people in the rivers and lakes who have poison in their bodies, and now there must be many people in this Wangtian Temple, but with Tianyi Chang, Cheng Fuhai and Kunlun Five Sages, I am not afraid that someone will suddenly attack.

The Fireheart Daoist waved his hand, and the hall gradually quieted down, and the Fireheart Dao said: "The poison has disturbed my martial arts for decades, if you give a good opportunity today, this time we will not only join forces to fight against the Demon Sect, but also refine the antidote to the poison." ”

Hu Xiaonan said with some hesitation: "Dare to ask the Fire Heart Daoist, how sure are you of refining the antidote to the poison this time?" The old man knows that the strength ......of your faction and Brother Tianyi's poor faction has been looking for the antidote to the poison for decades."

Huoxin Dao said: "Master Hu Zhuang, please rest assured, I have already discussed with Master Cheng Zhuang, Master Strike and Chief Tianyi, and I have also found someone who refines the antidote to the poison, and the certainty of refining the antidote to the poison this time should be more than ninety percent." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion in the hall, Hu Xiaonan's eyes showed essence, nodded slowly, looked at me and said, "If you can really refine the antidote to poison this time, the old man will definitely have a generous gift." ”

I was thinking about how to speak, when I suddenly heard a person say in a loud voice: "Master Huoxin, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

We were all startled, and turned our heads to look at the entrance of the main hall, only to see that in the ranks of those small and medium-sized sects, Zhao Chuanshu was standing with his fists clenched.

The Fireheart Daoist smiled: "It turned out to be the master of the Giant Eagle Gate, but the Lord of the Zhao Gate said that it was okay. ”

Zhao Chuanshu said: "The head of the fire heart, all the heroes of the rivers and lakes, Zhao knows that he has a lead knife and a horse, but there are some things in Zhao's heart, and he is really unhappy." The Shenlong Cave is the important place of the Demon Sect, and we and other heroes from all walks of life have gathered here for ten years, in order to prevent the Demon Sect from retaking the Shenlong Cave, and if time is a disaster for the martial arts. This time, the miasma of the Land of Death will dissipate, why don't we take this opportunity to completely destroy the Divine Dragon Cave to prevent future troubles?"

I was a little caught off guard by the sudden words he said, but he made a lot of sense. Since the Divine Dragon Cave is so important to the Demon Sect, wouldn't there be no worries about destroying it? The Seven Great Sects of the Province gather in the Kunlun Sect once every ten years.

The Fire Heart Daoist looked strange and said, "Master Zhao, the old man remembers that the last time the Seven Great Sects gathered in my Kunlun, you were also there. Since you have been to the Death Swamp, you naturally know that the Divine Dragon Gate is impregnable, and in the several gatherings, we have also tried our best to destroy the Divine Dragon Gate, but none of them can work, and the only thing that can open the Divine Dragon Gate is the secret key. He paused, and then said, "What the Zhao Sect Master said, is there a way to open the Divine Dragon Gate?"

Zhao Chuanshu hugged his fists and said: "Even the major sects can't open the Shenlong Gate, what kind of virtue can Zhao have?" But I heard that Meng Hanyan, the daughter of Meng Youlan, has a good relationship with Gu Shaoxia, if you can use this person's hand to lure Meng Hanyan to come, it is not difficult to open the Shenlong Gate. ”

I never expected him to say such a thing, and I couldn't help but look around, and many people frowned. Maybe he said this on purpose to these masters, he knew that I had a lot to do with Meng Hanyan, and what he said now was tantamount to treating me as a member of the Demon Sect, and he was worried that I would tell the people of the Demon Sect about the situation on the decent side.

What a narrow-minded and sinister person. I knew his methods then, and now it seems that a year has passed, but he has not changed at all. Whether the refining of the antidote to the poison can be successful or not is still two words, the people here are only afraid that they all have doubts in their hearts, and now that he says this, I am afraid that these people will have more thoughts in their hearts about whether I am credible or not, right?

Sure enough, many sect leaders and high-level leaders who still had a look of surprise on their faces disappeared after hearing what Zhao Chuanshu said, and they were replaced with indifferent expressions, and the few people who stood up just now also sat down slowly, and no longer looked at me more, and even some simply sat on the big chair and closed their eyes and meditated. It was only at this point that I suddenly understood why the Central Plains and the Miao Sect were so concerned about whether I was a member of the Demon Sect that day. Although the antidote to the poison is attention-grabbing, the power of fire and water between the two realms of righteousness and demons is the most important thing in the hearts of these major sect leaders.

At this moment, Tianyi Chang stood up, looked at Zhao Chuanshu and said slowly: "Master Zhao, this is indeed a good way, but this kind of practice is tantamount to the misconduct of the Demon Sect, how can a decent person like me do it?"
