Leshan, Sichuan, in the Jinkou Grand Canyon, there is a mist and mist, rainy and humid valley, its surrounding mountains are surrounded by mountains, the middle is concave, although the terrain is not much precipitous, but it is rugged and difficult to find, few people dare to set foot in, the root cause is because of the thorns in it, and it is rumored that there are strange ghosts haunted. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is to avoid it to everyone.

This valley is the legendary Blood Flame Valley, and the headquarters of the Blood Dragon Gate is hidden in the thick fog of the valley.

In a grand hall, a thin and handsome man was sitting on his elbows in a dragon chair at the end of the hall, and the flickering candlelight on both sides shone on his face, making him look melancholy and preoccupied.

This man is the Linghu Nine Swords.

"Qi Yu Dai Sect Master, Qinglong Dharma King Hong Long roared and asked to see. A red-clothed guy ran into the door of the hall and knelt down and said.

"Let him in!" Linghu Jiujian raised his head and said with a frown.

The little guy heard the words and retreated, and after a while, Hong Long's sharp laughter sounded in the hall, only to see a person walking briskly, walking in front of Linghu Jiujian in a hurry, and arched his hand: "On behalf of the door master, in Xia Hong Long Roar came to congratulate you, I wish you a smooth progress and be promoted to the door master." Believe me, under your leadership, the Blood Dragon Gate will be able to make great achievements and dominate the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

Linghu Jiujian said with a gloomy expression: "King Hongfa is here for entertainment. ”

Hong Long roared with a smile on his face, and said: "How dare you in the next place, when you hear that the master of the Yi Sect has appointed you as the acting master, immediately put down everything in your hand, and rushed to see you non-stop, no, even the shoes are worn out." With that, he deliberately raised his right foot, revealing a tattered boot, and five of his bad toes moved around in the hole, which was dazzling.

Linghu Jiujian's eyes reflected the candle flame, kept flickering, and said: "That Hong Fawang has worked hard, but although you and I used to be at the same level, but at this moment, I am the master of the door, and it is better for you to restrain your indecent behavior, so as not to desecrate the holy fire in this holy fire temple and anger Mingzun." ”

"Yes, yes......" Hong Long roared and immediately put down his feet and laughed repeatedly.

Linghu Jiujian stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "But you came just in time, I received a report earlier, and the Vermilion Bird Dharma King Shi Benkong has defected to the command of King Gao Yingxiang. But now King Chuang has been killed by the imperial court, and Shi Benkong's whereabouts are unknown. In this way, among the four Dharma Kings under the original Ming Venerable Throne, the White Tiger Dharma King has died, the Vermilion Bird Dharma King has apostasy, and I have also been promoted to the acting sect master, so you are the only one left in the original Four Dharma Kings. So I have an idea......"

Linghu Jiujian paced slowly, walked in front of Hong Long's roar, stared at him, and said, "I want to promote you to the left light messenger of this sect, what do you think?" ”

Hong Long roared overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "His Royal Highness the Lord of Xie Men has been promoted, and he will definitely work hard to take the lead and contribute to his own family." But then he looked confused and said, "But if there is a left, there must be a right, and who is the messenger of the right light?"

Linghu Jiujian smiled mysteriously and said loudly: "Xiao Yan, come out!"

As soon as the words fell, a young voice behind Hong Long suddenly replied, "Door master, what's the call?"

Hong Long roared and was horrified, he didn't see half a figure in the hall before he entered the hall, and he didn't notice anyone coming just now, how could someone come behind him unconsciously?

"You...... Just...... Call him Xiao Yan?" Hong Long looked at Linghu Jiujian in disbelief and asked, "Could it be that the champion of the Youth Sword Competition?"

"Exactly, he will be your colleague in the future, the right envoy of the light of this sect, you get along well. Linghu Jiujian was still smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of vigilance in this smile, as if he was guarding against something.

"Hello, Hong Zuo, surnamed Xiao Mingyan, just joined the sect a few days ago, the teaching is unfamiliar, please give me more advice. That Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Hong Long roared at Xiao Yan's handsome face, and suddenly a feeling arose in his heart.

Behind this young face, there is a maturity and vicissitudes that do not match his age, as if he has experienced countless years.

He shook his head, put this absurd feeling behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is polite, Brother Xiao is strong in martial arts, and he admires it very much...... However, there was some misunderstanding with your brother before the next one, and I would like to ask Brother Xiao to bear with me. ”

"It's natural, my brother does lack discipline sometimes, and I want to thank Brother Hong for doing it for me. Xiao Yan said.

"Alright, don't you guys flatter each other. Let's get down to business. Linghu Jiujian interrupted the two of them and said.

"What's the matter?" Hong Long roared, "Could it be that something big has happened in this sect recently?"

"It doesn't matter. However, if this can be done, it will be of great benefit to the great cause of the Church. Linghu Jiujian said lightly, "Have you ever heard of the ten county lords competing to recruit relatives?"

"This is natural, this is the most talked about anecdote in recent times except for the fall of King Chuang, and I am also quite interested in it. Hong Long said rather gossipy.

"Oh, in that case, could you please tell us what you know about the situation and see if it will be beneficial to our actions?" Ling Hu Jiujian said with interest.

Hong Long roared and immediately became interested, cleared his throat, and said: "It is said that this is the idea that Chongzhen's kid came up with, due to the continuous natural disasters in recent years, wars have broken out, and the imperial treasury has been in deficit for many years, and it is impossible to make ends meet. And the vassal kings of various places have accumulated wealth and are rich enough to rival the country, but they have always tightened their pockets and refused to donate a cent. ”

Chongzhen wanted to raise funds from them, so he found the ten richest vassal kings, selected their unmarried county lords, and said that he would hold a martial arts competition in the Forbidden City on the day of Laba, so that the county lords could choose husbands among the young talents of major families. However, if you want to participate in this grand event, both the vassal king and the family must pay a lot of 'mandarin duck gold'. ”

"This Chongzhen's intention was originally known to everyone, but this matter can not only tie the emperor's mind, but also show the magnanimity, and the vassal king's family can still make friends with each other, why not? So the vassal kings have offered 'mandarin duck gold', and the matter of the ten vassal kings competing to recruit relatives has been decided. ”

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the world. Originally, talented and beautiful women, love and love were hot topics, and I heard that there was a master competition, and the vassal king was rich, and the emperor personally presided over it. It's all false to say you're not interested. So everybody was eager to get to the conference. ”

"Since the martial arts competition did not stipulate that the candidates for the county lord's husband must do it themselves, the martial arts sects and the major families all entrusted their own relationships, went through the back door, and selected the strongest martial arts in the force to participate in this competition. Even the Wudang Ziyang Taoist and Shaolin Xuanwu Zen Master were invited to be the people of the martial arts competition, so in fact, this martial arts competition is to test the strength and financial resources of the major families, and it can also be said to compete for the title of "the first in the world of martial arts". Hong Long said with a roar.

"Well said. Linghu Jiujian narrowed his eyes and said approvingly, "Since it is such a grand event, how can we not get involved in the Blood Dragon Sect?"

"Could it be...... Door Master, do you want to participate?" Hong Long asked with wide eyes.

"I, I'm a wanted person by the imperial court, wouldn't I kill myself by appearing rashly?" Ling Hu Jiujian sneered, then pointed at Xiao Yan and said, "It's our right envoy of light who wants to participate." ”

"Xiao Yan?" Hong Long roared goodbye to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "This...... It's not that I am underestimating Xiao You's envoy, it's just that the martial arts of the participants this time are high, and they are by no means comparable to the Youth Martial Arts Conference, and Brother Xiao is afraid that he will go...... Hehe......" The words were not finished, but the implication was very obvious.

"It's useless to say more, I have entrusted Nangong Xinlan of the Nangong family to run for me, and arrange Xiao Yan to appear in the competition as the person of the Nangong family. At that time, regardless of Xiao Yan's victory or defeat, our alliance with the Nangong family has been decided, which will be of great benefit to the Zhongxing of this sect. Linghu Jiujian waved his hand and said: "Hong Zuo Envoy, this seat orders you to arrange all matters, fully help Xiao You, and strive for the upper reaches in this martial arts competition." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Hong and the others bowed down and agreed.
