Chapter 62: Martial Arts Conference 2
"Brother Yu" Wang Jin looked at Yu Yongshan, "Why don't you see your senior brother Wang Yongzhen?"
Mu Fengqing also asked, "Yes, what about others?" I really admire his swordsmanship, and I want to find a chance to ask for another advice." ”
"He?" Yu Yongshan's face was strange, "Who knows?"
Tian Yongfa was a little confused, "Yes, it seems that I haven't seen him for a while." ”
As he was talking, above the chairman, an old man beside Danyangzi stood up and said, "Everyone, all friends, listen to me."
The group gradually put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the old man who spoke.
Wang Jin introduced to Xu Ruyi in a low voice: "This person who spoke is the Tang Sect leader, Tang San Province, Tang Sanye, and the previous leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. You always know the Tang Sect, the three sects and seven factions, the first in Shu. ”
Xu Ruyi nodded, "Brother Wang said he laughed."
Tang Sanxing had silver hair, and he looked like he should be around sixty or seventy years old, but he spoke loudly, his waist was straight, and he had a compelling momentum on his body.
"Ranked" Tang San Province arched his hand to everyone, "In the Tang Gate Tang San Province, this is polite." ”
said hello, and then stretched out his hand to signal Danyangzi beside him, "This is Danyangzi, the head of the Qingcheng faction, and he is also the host of this conference." Over the years, the Qingcheng faction has contributed a lot to my martial arts righteousness, and the old man took this opportunity to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and toast you. ”
As he spoke, Tang Sansheng picked up the wine glass in front of him and held it in the air.
"Tang Alliance Master, you are too polite, how can you afford it!" Danyangzi laughed, also stood up, touched the wine glass in his hand with Tang Sanxing's cup, and the two of them drank it all. Then the wine glasses snapped upside down a few times, and they looked at each other and laughed.
Everyone present applauded together, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
After laughing, Danyoko sat down again.
Tang Sansheng then said, "The old man has been the leader of the martial arts league for five years, in recent years, although the martial arts are not calm, but there are few turmoil, thanks to the help of all friends, here, Tang San Province respects everyone with a glass of "Tang San Province will fill the wine glass again, and drink it all" In recent years, the old man has been getting older, and his body is not as good as before, and now it is the beginning of February, and the second dragon is raising his head, and the old man should abdicate and make way for Xian"
As soon as Tang Sanxing's voice fell, a few people in the audience stood up, "Tang Dachivalrous Bo Yuntian, the villain toasts you" "In the past five years, Tang has worked hard and made great achievements, I think you can work for another five years!" Tang Sansheng stroked the silver hair under his chin, smiled, thanked everyone, and said in his mouth, "I dare not be ashamed." ”
At this time, the head of the Kunlun faction at the same table, He Chongxiao, got up and said, "Rank, the rivers and lakes have been calm recently, but the world is not peaceful. Although the saints are working hard today, they are sometimes infested by Japanese robbers on the southeast coast. It really made my Central Plains martial arts face gloomy. In my opinion, everyone still has to nominate the leader of the martial arts alliance, let him lead us, resist the Japanese bandits, and teach them a good lesson. ”
"Good!"
"Master Crane is so right. ”
"That's exactly how it should be. ”
Most of the people present were righteous knights, with their own blood in their chests, and they had long been dissatisfied with the clown jumping off the beam in the southeast, but now they listened to He Chongxiao's words, and naturally responded.
"Everyone," a voice sounded with a little wine, "The rivers and lakes have their own rules, everyone gathered here today, just to elect the new leader of the alliance and discuss the affairs of the southeast, let's not talk nonsense~, finish the business early and continue to eat and drink"
"Hahaha" The crowd laughed, but no one was angry. Everyone knows that it is Taishan's heroic man who speaks, Meng Jiu, who is known as the "smiling tiger", is bold, humorous, and has no bad intentions.
Someone present shouted, "I think you're good, Lao Jiu"
"It's you, go and show your hand in the ring"
"What are you shouting about?" Meng Jiu glared at him, "My kung fu is enough to see." It has to be the masters of our three sects and seven sects to make a move."
"Are you afraid?"
"Phew" Meng Jiu spat on the ground, "I am not afraid of having a hairy relationship, Lao Tzu can't beat it, you have the ability." ”
"Haha"
"Oh ~ I'm afraid"
There were quite a few people who were there. Meng Jiu just patted his chest and laughed.
Wang Jin whispered to Xu Ruyi again, "According to the rules, everyone can go up and fight, but the three sects and the seven sects have a profound background, and the ordinary people are not as good as them in kung fu, so in the end, they were selected from a few of them." ”
"No one has ever won against them?" Xu Ruyi was a little unconvinced.
"That's not it," Wang Jin explained, "There are some strange people who are not afraid of them, but firstly, most of them are thin on fame and fortune, and secondly, unless they are really virtuous and respectable people, otherwise even if they become the three sects and seven factions, he will not be in a rut." So the average person won't be bored with himself. ”
"That's it," Xu Ruyi was a little puzzled, "Then if anyone from the three sects and seven sects has high martial arts, can't they sit down all the time?"
"Brother Lin doesn't know," Wang Jin replied, "There is another rule, within three terms, you can't be re-elected." The previous masters of the martial arts alliance in Tang San Province were the head of the Wudang faction Xuancong and the head of the Shaolin faction, the Lingxin master, so according to the rules, the three of them could no longer choose. ”
"Oh," Xu Ruyi nodded, "I see." ”
After a commotion, the eyes of the heroes present focused on the people of the three sects and seven sects of the chairman.
Speaking of the election of the leader of the martial arts alliance at the martial arts conference, it first originated in the late Southern Song Dynasty, when the Southern Song Dynasty court was unfavorable against the Mongol invasion. The people in the rivers and lakes were the most enthusiastic, so they stood up against Mongolia. However, the strength of one household was weak, and in the end, several major sects at that time jointly organized a martial arts conference, with the intention of electing a leader to lead fellow martial artists to fight against the invasion of Outer Mongolia.
At the beginning, the effect was actually very good, if these martial arts people were thrown on the battlefield, they might be nothing in the face of thousands of troops, but if they were used as assassins or surprise soldiers, with accurate intelligence and unified command, they could often be surprised, when the Mongolian generals were assassinated by a large number of assassins, and at the same time, a lot of military grain and grass were also burned by them, so it was a headache for this group of martial arts people. But in the end, it was the Mongols who were powerful, and they came with tens of millions of troops and destroyed the rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty. But the Wulin League did not die. After a hundred years of Guozuo in the Yuan Dynasty, the Wulin League has been dealing with it. At that time, the White Lotus Sect could also participate in the martial arts conference openly, and even was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance many times. It's just that because of the suppression of the imperial court, the leader of the martial arts alliance often dies unexpectedly, and out of various considerations, the rule of election every five years was finally set.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and only issued a ban on the White Lotus Sect, and at the same time, in order to restrain the White Lotus Sect, he also adopted a tacit attitude towards the Wulin League.
"Ahem" Hui Zhenshi, the head of the Emei faction, coughed twice, stood up and walked to the ring outside the hall.
Although it was already night outside, the torches and candles everywhere reflected as if it were day.
Master Huizhen jumped up, stood in the middle of the ring, and proclaimed the Buddha name "Amitabha", and then looked at everyone and said, "Poor Ni Huizhen, I am not the head of the Emei faction, and I have seen everyone here." ”
"I've seen Shitai"
"Shitai"
Everyone in the hall also followed out one after another, standing in all directions of the ring, and saluting Master Huizhen.
Master Hui Zhen didn't say much, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed down, and stuck it on the ground.
This is called a standing sword on the rivers and lakes, indicating the meaning of contention.
When you're full of wine and food, it's time to fight.
