The next day, a shocking news spread across the land of the Great New Dynasty that the martial arts conference would be held in Kyoto in the middle of the month.
Three mountains and five mountains, five sects and eighteen sects of the people rushed to tell each other, the head of the family is even more gearing up, all want to Kyoto to show their skills, so the official road to Kyoto is full of heroic people with swords and swords.
At this moment, on the largest Zhenhei Square in Kyoto City, craftsmen are building a huge ring day and night.
The day before the start of the martial arts conference, all the heads of the martial arts sects had already gathered in Kyoto, and King Shou arranged three inns for them, and during the conference, everything was free of charge.
On the first night of the conference, King Shou held a banquet in the palace and entertained several heavy characters, who were the head of Shaolin, Master Xuankong, the Yuzhenzi Zhenren of Wudang, Mr. Tang Da of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, and the new master of the Kunlun faction.
The banquet was hosted by King Shou, accompanied by Mei Bufan, Geng Jingzhong, and the little witch.
After the wine and food were ready, King Shou took the cup, got up and said clearly: "This king proposed to convene this martial arts conference, in fact, there is one purpose, the former martial arts alliance leader Liu Yanyang has passed away for more than half a year, and in the martial arts, there has been a group of dragons without a leader, and the chaos is abnormal, so this king proposed to convene this martial arts conference, which is to elect a new martial arts alliance leader with high morality to order the martial arts, so that our Daxin Dynasty can have long-term peace and stability." ”
Everyone said in unison: "It's still the prince who is thoughtful." ”
King Shou continued: "Originally, this was a martial arts matter, and it should not have been involved in the government, but there was a reason for it, the previous alliance leader Liu Yanyang and the deacon Geng Lie were all murdered, so there was no way, this king took the place to organize this grand meeting for everyone, but after the conference is held tomorrow, I will let Xian, and everything will be done according to the rules of your martial arts." ”
Master Shaolin Xuankong said on behalf of the masters: "It is really a blessing for martial arts to have King Shou work hard for us!"
Everyone nodded yes.
Xuankong Da continued: "To choose the leader of the martial arts alliance, the first thing is to choose martial arts to cover the world, but also to have people who are responsible and willing to do something for martial arts!"
Everyone said in unison: "This is nature!"
Master Xuankong said worriedly: "This will inevitably have some battles, if you want to see it under the sword, I am afraid that there will be some harm!"
Yu Zhenzi Zhenren said: "Is there a martial arts competition? There will always be times when the hands are light and heavy, and this is also something that everyone can understand! As long as it does not hurt one's life, it can be forgiven! But it is also possible that there is a rift between the factions and they take the opportunity to retaliate, so we can distinguish between them at that time!"
Mr. Tang said: "That's right, private fights are strictly prohibited, everything is settled in the ring!"
King Shou was very happy to see that everyone expressed their opinions and spoke very reasonably, and said: "Everything will be implemented according to everyone's agreement, and I also hope that a few of you will be temporary deacons, strictly control the situation on the stage, and don't let lawbreakers take advantage of it." ”
A few replied, "Willing to serve." ”
King Shou raised his glass and said: "May the martial arts conference be a complete success, and elect a good alliance leader who can do things for the martial arts people and think about the common people in the world!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine of consensus.
The banquet continued, and then the little witch spoke: "Seniors, you still neglect one thing!"
When they heard her say this, they all put down their glasses and ivory baskets in their hands to see what she had to say.
The little witch stood up and said with a straight look: "Don't forget one thing, that is, King Qin and King Yan, now they are in a safe corner, and they want to make a comeback at any time." Now we have such a big event. They will definitely not be willing to be lonely, so you seniors must be fully prepared in your hearts to avoid unnecessary losses!"
Master Xuankong said: "The young man reminded in time, according to the character of King Qin and King Yan, he will definitely not stand by in this matter, so it is possible to send masters to participate, take the opportunity to attack our Central Plains martial arts, or take the opportunity to steal the seat of the martial arts alliance leader." ”
The little witch said, "We have information that they have sent someone here!"
All the heads of the family were filled with indignation, and said in unison: "If there is really a person from the King of Qin who comes, we will definitely let him come and never return!"
The little witch said: "That's very good, I will inform everyone when there is further news!"
The banquet continued until the evening.
Early the next morning, on the Zhenping Square, there were crowds of people, Kyoto had not had such a big event for a long time, and the people rushed to tell each other, helping the old and the young to come to see this martial arts conference.
The ring above the square is very magnificent, there is a one-story high, green pine wooden frame, on top is a palm-thick wooden board, ten zhang square, there are ladders on both sides.
There is also a colorful shed on the side of the ring, and there are tables and chairs in the colorful shed, which is specially for the heads of the five sects and eighteen factions to come and sit.
There is a pontoon bridge between the shed and the ring.
At this time, the seats under the colorful shed were already full, King Shou was in the center, accompanied by Master Xuankong and Yu Zhenzi Zhenren on the left and right, Geng Jingzhong and the little witch stood behind him, and the sword immortal Mei Bufan greeted each other with the heads of various sects and factions.
Just after the hour, King Shou instructed Mei Bufan: "Let's start!"
Mei Bufan received the order, walked up to the pontoon bridge from under the color shed, and came to the ring.
Mei Bufan clenched his fists in all directions and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, fellow martial artists in the audience, we hold this martial arts conference with only one central purpose, to select a qualified alliance leader for today's martial arts." The method is very simple, as long as you have this desire, and you think that your martial arts are world-famous, you can take the stage to accept the challenges of others, and the final winner, if there is no problem with virtue, then you are the new martial arts alliance leader, and the second is the new martial arts deacon. If there is no doubt, let's start now, who will come first?"
As soon as the words fell, from the staircase on the east side of the ring, walked up a middle-aged man with a short figure, his green face, his left eyebrow was high, his right eyebrow was low, and as soon as he spoke, his whole face was distorted.
He came up to the stage and said to Mei Bufan: "I'll fight this battle!"
Mei Bufan didn't recognize this person, and seeing that he was full of confidence, he asked: "The strong man's surname is there." ”
The middle-aged humanitarian: "My surname is Cao, a person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
Some people in the audience shouted: "He is the leader of the Salt Gang!"
Mei Bufan arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the Cao gang leader, disrespectful, disrespectful." Then, he shouted to the colorful booth and the people in the audience: "Who will challenge the Cao gang leader?" ”
Knowing that at this time, the Cao gang leader spoke, and he pointed to the left head of the Kongtong faction in the colorful shed and said, "I want to challenge him." ”
