Chapter 379: The World Gathering (Part II)
Lu Huan finally rushed to the location of the Jishi Conference, and Zuo Tianang, who was also one of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, asked with a smile: "You old guy has always been elusive, I haven't sent you an invitation this time, but you know that you ...... come to this Zhongnan Mountain to attend the meeting."
Lu Huan smiled, looked at the martial arts celebrities present, and then said loudly: "The Jishi Conference is held once every two years, and I see and hear about the things in the Central Plains martial arts. The old man has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, and he has tasted all the flavors of life and the world is hot and cold, so how can he miss the summary event once every two years? What's more, Zhang Zhenren, who is rare to see today, went out of the mountain in person, and the old-timers just said that they would wait, how can the old man ignore them like the old man Lu and Gao Meizi? Lu Huan still has such a wild and uninhibited character, although he is one of the four saints of martial arts, although he is over seventy years old, he still can't change the freedom of the wanderers, this is the real person in the rivers and lakes.
Seeing Lu Huan like this, Zuo Tianang shook his head with a smile and said, "You old guy, you have said a lot of nonsense, but there is some truth. But judging by the way you look happy, you must have encountered something good or interesting. I haven't seen you for so many years, and I don't know where you old guy have been and what you've done all these years, so why don't you start the summary of the Jishi Conference first?"
When Lu Huan heard this, he laughed again, and then responded: "Thanks to the head of Zuo, I can praise me, which is much more humane than Old Man Lu and Sister Gao...... Before that, the old man still thanked Zhang Zhenren for his patience. The old man was able to attend the meeting in time. Zhang Zhenren really deserves to be a venerable in the martial arts, there are a lot of adults, and he is much more patient than some others——"
"Some people" that Lu Huan said. Naturally, it was the head of the Emei faction who just said "I can't wait". Ao Jing Shitai is still a lonely and arrogant character, even in the face of Lu Huan, one of the four saints of martial arts, she has no disdain at all, and glanced over with a "hum-" sound.
"The old man hasn't seen you for a long time, and every time I just met at the 'Hero Sword Trial Meeting'...... As the left boss said, seeing you so happy, you must have met all kinds of good things. Let's listen to it-" Zhang Sanfeng also showed a kind smile and said slowly like a kind old man.
"It's too tiring to come one by one, but it's not impossible to explain one or two simply......" Lu Huan began to sell Guan Zidao. "There are too many things that have happened in the past two years, and it is impossible to finish them all, but what makes the old man most interested is the days in Dadu a few days ago......"
"Dadu?" said Ge Wei, the leader of the beggar gang. Immediately asked rhetorically. "It's the capital of the Mengyuan Imperial Court, so what's there to be interested in?"
Lu Huan glanced at Ge Wei, and said with a smile: "Gang Master Ge, even though you have thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang and are widely distributed, but in a place like Dadu, where Mengyuan is deep in the belly, Gang Master Ge, you probably haven't thought about it, right? This time, the old man sneaked into the Chatai Mansion in Dadu, saw a lot of incredible interesting things, and met a very interesting boy. Taught him something...... "The "interesting boy" that Lu Huan said was naturally his new apprentice Sun Yun.
"Isn't that interesting?" Gerway replied with a smile. "Senior Lu, you are really rejuvenated, at such an old age, you still like to run to such a dangerous place......"
"If you don't go to such a place that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, how can you better understand the suffering in the world?" Lu Huan in turn educated Ge Weidao, "As the leader of the beggar gang, you have been chivalrous and righteous all your life, and you are never under the old man in the world, but you have rarely explored these 'thorny places', so even for your younger generations, the world you see is still lacking——"
Ge Wei listened and smiled again, but after all, Lu Huan is one of the Seven Heroes of Martial Arts, and his rank is above him, and what he said is quite reasonable, so Ge Wei nodded and responded: "Yes, thank you Senior Lu for your guidance, he will pay more attention in the future-"
Lu Huan didn't seem to finish speaking, and said to Ge Wei again: "But then again, Gang Leader Ge, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know if the 'Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending' will make more progress, he wants to meet with Gang Master Ge for a while, while the old man still has a few bones, and let the old man enjoy martial arts a few more-"
Ge Wei listened and responded with a smile: "Okay, as long as Senior Lu wants to meet with martial arts, Ge will accompany you at any time!" Ge Wei's voice was majestic and heroic, it seemed that as the leader of the beggar gang, he did have that upright and unashamed arrogance.
"Gang Leader Ge hasn't changed after so many years, he's still so arrogant, hahahaha-" Lu Huan still had an uninhibited personality and laughed loudly.
After Lu Huan finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard with a smile, and said to Wu Zijun beside him: "Zijun, like Lu Huan, you have been to Dadu, why don't you tell me about your resume in Dadu, which can be regarded as a summary of Wu Jin's last Jishi Conference——"
"Yes, Master-" Wu Zijun, one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, is also the chief disciple of the Wudang Sect, and in front of the master Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren, he is also respectful, after all, he is also Zhang Sanfeng's favorite disciple.
Wu Zijun is still the same as his posture in Dadu that day, no matter what scene he faces, he always seems to be calm and unhurried. He slowly took two steps forward, bowed slightly to the martial arts warriors present, and then said slowly: "Seniors, Wu has obeyed the orders of his master, and in the past two years, he has been the same as Lu's predecessors, and he has experienced all kinds of things in the world, and he has also gone to the capital of Mengyuan, and he has personally seen the advantages and disadvantages of Mengyuan's rule, and he has gained a lot of touch......
As soon as Lu Huan heard that Wu Zijun was the same as himself, he also went to Dadu. I wondered if I would be the same as myself, and I also mentioned my interest in Sun Yun from the Dart Bureau, so I asked halfway: "I don't know if you went to Dadu, Wu boy, did you encounter something interesting like the old man...... Or people?"
Wu Zijun only smiled slightly when he saw Lu Huan asking himself, and then nodded and replied, "Yes-" Actually, Wu Zijun and Sun Yun also had contacts, and they were before Lu Huan. Wu Zijun also taught his Sun Yun the martial arts of "four or two thousand catties", and also gave him a copy of the Tao Te Ching. It's just that he may never have thought that the "Tao Te Ching" did not calm down Sun Yun in the encounter, not long ago. Sun Yun was still in the Dadu Chatai Palace, and staged a bloody battle......
However, Wu Zijun is different from Lu Huan, he has always been calm, and he doesn't talk much, and after finishing the matter, he slowly retreated and returned to his master Zhang Sanfeng.
Zuo Tianang, who presided over the conference, listened to the previous people. After thinking about it slowly, he said: "Looking at what Senior Lu and Wu Zijun said, in recent years, people in the martial arts have had a lot to do with the Mengyuan Imperial Court. Truly. The current situation is turbulent and abnormal, and we, the wanderers, say that we are not involved in the political affairs of the imperial court, but we are inevitably unintentionally involved...... Among them, the old man also failed to get rid of it, some time ago. The old man and his fellow Huashan disciples. In the area of Yuxing City, he also secretly assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in finding the Tang family tokens. Fortunately, I happened to meet the descendants of the Tang family that day, who took on the mission of the family, and Mingzhong found the token. It's just that I didn't expect that not long after the old man and the others left, they got the news that Yuxing City was broken by Zhu Yuanzhang's army, which shows that the rivers and lakes are involved in one day, and the situation in the world will inevitably be turbulent——"
Zuo Tianang said, smiling to himself and shaking his head. The descendants of the Tang family he just mentioned. It is also Tang Zhan, the widow of the Tang family. And the conversation with Zuo Tianang allowed him to understand the truth of the Tang family. also let himself learn the amazing martial arts "splitting the empty palm", Tang Zhan should never forget the experience in Wangjia Village and Yuxing City for the rest of his life......
"Descendants of the Tang family?" Master Aojing listened too much, and asked in a rhetorical voice, "Could it be that the descendant of the Tang family who appeared in the world at the Bianliang Kendo Conference?"
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Abbot Shi Ming heard the "Kendo Conference", and also followed aside, "When it comes to the relationship between the people in the martial arts and the Mengyuan court in recent times, the past two years are really uncountable, such as the puzzling kendo conference where Chen Shijin, a disciple of the Wind Chasing School, sentenced Meng Yuan and Bianliang to take away...... Speaking of the kendo conference, there is a question that has always puzzled the martial arts scholars until now - what was the purpose of the Mengyuan Imperial Court that day, that day, to compromise the four major sects in the martial arts and hold a kendo conference in a market capital like Bianliang?
This is indeed puzzling, no one at that time could guess the real purpose of the Mengyuan Imperial Court to hold the kendo conference...... But fortunately, we are worried about the sky, and the kendo conference is over, and nothing ominous has happened, but ......" Ao Jing Shi Tai continued on the side, "The reason why the martial arts warriors happily went to the suspicious kendo conference at that time was not because of what is the secret of the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill?
Wen Zhengxin just shrugged his nose on the side and didn't reply immediately.
Master Aojing seemed to not miss the opportunity to tear down the stage, and continued to exert pressure: "At that time, the heads of the four major sects were supposed to be all present, but forgive Zhang Zhenren was very old, so he didn't force it, why did you not participate in the kendo conference for some reason, but just sent Er and other useless disciples to go, and when they were still in the Nangong compound to fight against the disciples of the deity, they were killed and injured by Meng Yuan's masters?"
"If you don't go that day, yes...... It's because there is an urgent matter under the lower door, and I can't go to ......" Wen Zhengxin didn't seem to want to debate too much with Master Aojing, so he just coped with it.
"You have always been good at studying strong martial arts, but you are most concerned about the secrets of the Heavenly Demon Divine Skills, aren't you? If you don't come, I'm afraid you're afraid of the pressure of the Mengyuan court, so you sent some third-rate disciples to fill up the numbers, right, but it wasn't that you were beaten by Mengyuan's people...... If it weren't for Li Yuru's rescue that day, I'm afraid that your Kongtong faction's face would have been lost-" Master Aojing spoke very harshly, and the disciples of the Kongtong faction secretly forbearance when they heard it.
"Speaking of Li Yuru, ......" As soon as the sensitive person was mentioned, Ao Jing Shitai gradually revealed a fierce expression, "Hmph, last time in the suburbs of Nanshan, I was rescued by Xue Feiji, Xue Daxia, as well as the female doll of 'Jianghu Bo' and the descendants of the Tang family, and the deity was able to stop." If she had taken a step earlier, Li Yuru would have died at the hands of the deity, and she would have been reunited with her parents in the underworld......" Master Aojing gritted her teeth and said, her eyes also focused on Xue Feiji, who was standing next to Ge Wei and had saved Li Yuru and the others many times that day.
Xue Feichen only looked at Master Aojing with a stern gaze, and did not react too much.
"Amitabha, when is the time for retribution, how can Master Aojing keep the hatred of the gang rules in mind? I think that the founding patriarch of Mount Emei was able to look down on the world's feelings peacefully, and the original intention of the gang rules was not as Ao Jing Shitai said...... "But when it comes to the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Skill', Lao Qu won the kendo conference that day, so he went to Nangong Tunnel, one of the ruins of the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Skill', with Nangong Lu Nangong Hero, to have a look...... In fact, there are not many things in it, there are several records in the empty text, and there are no things such as the secret book of the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Skill', and the words of the predecessors of Shangguan Xianjian do not know the truth or falsehood, so they left the ...... after leaving the pillar incense for a while."
The other martial arts warriors present basically also roughly described the big and small deeds that had happened in the martial arts in the past two years, but the beggars did not summarize together. Zuo Tianang turned his head and asked Ge Wei: "The Jishi Conference is coming to an end, I don't know what kind of high opinion the Ge Gang Leader has?"
Ge Wei thought for a while, then nodded slightly at Zuo Tianang, then slowly took a few steps forward, and said to all the martial arts celebrities: "The leader of the beggar gang Ge Wei has first seen the venerable people present-" Like Wu Zijun, Ge Wei also bowed to everyone present very politely.
Then, Ge Wei stood up straight and said righteously: "What Ge said today mostly refers to the border security in the area of Zhongnan Mountain. In the past two years, the increase in taxes imposed by the imperial court has become increasingly strict, and there have been continuous wars outside the Guan, the imperial court inside the Guanxi has not cared about it, and the people have no livelihood. Most directly, in recent days, thieves have been rampant in this area, and it is said that even cults have taken advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble. As the leader of the beggar gang, Ge recommended himself today, and he is willing to lead his disciples to manage and rectify the security of thieves in this area, and contribute to the people of the world——"
Sure enough, as the strong man of Jifeng Restaurant said before, the beggar gang did want to manage the security in this area. Lu Huan heard this, and was the first to reply loudly: "Okay, the leader of the beggar gang is really righteous and awe-inspiring, haha, it is unshirkable to uphold justice for the people of the world, punish rape and eliminate evil, and he really deserves to be a hero in the martial arts!"
"Thank you Senior Lu for the compliment, what Ge said today is just that-" Ge Wei thanked Lu Huan in response, and after finishing speaking, he also retreated and stood back in his original position.
Wen Zhengxin listened to Ge Wei's general description of the security problems in this area, and seemed to think of something, and casually mentioned: "Speaking of thieves in this area of the border gates, there are rampant haunts...... Correspondingly, I heard that recently, in this area, someone has seen the 'Dragon Hero' who has not been seen in the world for a long time......"
"It seems that the deity has heard of this matter a little...... everyone suddenly mentioned the matter of Canglong, and Master Aojing also answered on the side, "Some people say that Canglong Hero reappeared in the rivers and lakes after eighty or ninety years, but he is a hairy boy. I don't know who in the world has the courage to pretend to be one of the three predecessors of martial arts?"
Zhang Sanfeng heard everyone's narrative and thought of Canglong, after all, among these people, only Zhang Zhenren, who was over 100 years old, had personally said that he had seen Canglong. So, Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said softly in a slightly reminiscent tone: "Canglong, how many years ago was that...... If we can see it again, no matter if it's true or not, even if I only see his famous 'Canglong Palm', the old man is already enough......
"Canglong?" Lu Huan couldn't help but say when he heard this name, "Isn't that the old man's old friend......?" However, Master Aojing is also right, people who have seen it say that today's 'Canglong' is a hairy boy, and I don't know who dares to pretend to be such a respected martial arts senior?"
At the Jishi Conference, the words of the martial arts people were heard clearly by Canglong, who was hiding dozens of feet away. Hearing everyone talking about himself, Canglong couldn't help but be nervous, but his eyes still never left the front......
"Since you have been here for a long time, why should you be a gentleman on the beam, wouldn't it be better to come out and meet with one of the heroes?" Suddenly, Zuo Tianang said to the direction where Canglong and Hongyun were hiding behind him. It seems that Zuo Tianang's insight is indeed amazing, Canglong is hiding so quietly, and it is still discovered.
When Zuo Tianang mentioned this, Canglong was frightened again, it seems that it is inevitable to "face to face" with all martial arts people today...... (To be continued......)
