After everyone had eaten, they saw that the various sects and factions in the inn were in groups from east to west, talking and laughing was very lively, Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu went upstairs side by side, and said while walking: "Is there so many people at every conference?" Duan Xiliu frowned and said: "There didn't seem to be so many people last time, I see that the people here are very mixed, many of them are gangs in the Han and northern areas, I don't know where they got the news, they actually came from thousands of miles to participate." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiao Han looked back, and sure enough, he saw many rough men wearing mink fur and deerskin boots unique to the Northeast, and some people were chewing wild ginseng in their mouths, holding deer cutting knives in their hands, and no one was talking and laughing. There are even some men who pat away the Changbai Mountain liquor they brought, pour it into the big bowl, and drink wine in a big bowl with the roasted beef on the table, and eat the meat in a big bowl.

Zhao Chengzong was very happy, and when he heard the two of them talk, he was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice: "Nothing will happen, right? Do you want to transfer troops over?" Xiao Han smiled and said: "This is a martial arts conference, and it's not a rebellion, what kind of troops are transferred?" Anyway, it's none of our business, we just need to watch the excitement. Duan Xiliu said worriedly: "Do you want to report this matter to Master Xingkong?" Xiao Han smiled: "Shaolin Temple is not muddy, and there are also your master and Emei faction, more things are better than less, let's go back and sleep peacefully." ”

Duan Xiliu was right when he thought about it, and there was a big man on top of it when the sky fell, so he stopped talking, and the four of them returned to the room one after another. As soon as Duan Xiliu and Xiao Han sat on the bed, Xiao Han said with a straight face: "These people are weird, and they can't be taken lightly. Duan Xiliu sat down and said, "Didn't you say you don't have to worry about it?" Xiao Han looked at him and said: "The northeast is under the jurisdiction of the Liao people, although these sects are Han people, I feel weird, there must be a conspiracy among them." ”

Duan Xiliu knew that he had always felt very good, and nodded: "What do you say we should do?" Or I will go to the Shaolin Temple overnight to warn?" Xiao Han shook his head and said: "No need, I feel that these people are not here to make trouble, as for what they want to do, they can only take one step at a time." ”

The two were discussing, when they heard a knock on the door, Duan Xiliu opened the door and saw Zhao Chengzong standing outside the door, and said with a smile: "The long night is boring, I want to talk to the two brothers." In a flash, the two of them were surprised to see a young man standing behind him, looking at them with a smile on his face.

Xiao Han hurriedly greeted him, and bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be Zhao ......" Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said: "Call me Zhao Yi." Then he glanced at the two, Xiao Han understood, and said with a smile: "Welcome Brother Zhao Yi." The two of them entered the house, Duan Xiliu was just about to close the door, and suddenly a hat reached into the door, Duan Xiliu snorted, dodged and let him in before closing the door.

The person who came was naturally Sima An, and he put down the hat when he entered the house, which startled Zhao Guangyi, but fortunately he was extraordinary, but his complexion changed slightly. Xiao Han hurriedly introduced the two, Zhao Guangyi was modest, respectfully greeted Sima An, Sima An just raised his hand lightly as a return gift, and then sat on Xiao Han's bed. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and Duan Xiliu hurriedly moved out of the two stools in the room and invited the two to sit down.

Everyone sat down, and Xiao Han said with a smile: "You must not be able to sleep, you may as well talk freely, and go back to sleep when you are tired." Zhao Chengzong clapped his hands and smiled: "It's exactly what I want." Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Han and said: "There are too many people here, according to my estimate, there are always thousands of people, so tomorrow, there will always be three or four thousand people gathered in the Shaolin Temple, will there be an accident?"

Xiao Han glanced at Sima An, saw his indifference, as if he was not interested in it, turned his head and said: "I just talked to Brother Duan about this, most of the gangs gathered here are from the Northeast, and the Northeast is under the jurisdiction of the Great Liao, so it is not necessary. Zhao Guangyi looked at Xiao Han with admiration and said, "There won't be any fine work in this, right?" Xiao Han shook his head and said: "It's not good to talk about fine work, the martial arts rivers and lakes have their own rules for doing things, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't bother to serve the government." Speaking of this, seeing Zhao Guangyi's face slightly displeased, Xiao Han continued: "But although they are in the rivers and lakes, no one dares to easily confront the government, after all, the government is orthodox, and the people in the rivers and lakes can still distinguish the importance of the matter." ”

Zhao Guangyi's face was slightly gentle, and he said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of Master Xiao, what do they want?" Xiao Han had a difficult face, spread his hands and said: "I am not familiar with them, this problem is too difficult, I can only take one step at a time, so as not to respond to all changes." I told Brother Duan just now that the Shaolin Temple held a martial arts conference, and the three sects and thirty-six factions would send people to participate, and there were at least hundreds of other small sects, even if they had any conspiracy, it would be difficult to succeed in such a situation. Zhao Guangyi heard him say that it was okay for the government, so he made up his mind and said with a smile: "Master Xiao is right, I have been in the army for a long time, and I don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes." Then he said: "I heard that Master Xiao is also going to compete for the thirty-six factions this time, what are the chances of winning?"

Zhao Chengzong didn't speak, and at this time he also said: "I heard that the strength of the thirty-six factions in the rivers and lakes is extraordinary, and if you want to be among them, you must have extraordinary strength, Brother Xiao must be confident, and the younger brother here wishes the Wudang faction a battle to become famous." ”

Sima An, who was sitting next to Xiao Han, snorted in his nose and said, "You can't even beat the Jiuhua faction, what are you talking about opening a sect?" Xiao Han blushed and retorted: "Are the thirty-six factions very powerful? Even if I don't do well, I can always beat a few, right?" Sima An didn't give him any face, and said happily: "Your martial arts may not even be able to beat the little nun of Jingxin, it's better to watch the battle, save face when you can, and let Li Yatou see your jokes." ”

When he said this, Xiao Handeng was a little discouraged, he had learned a lot, although things have been going on in the past few days, he has always been busy reciting cheats, and now he even memorizes "Eclipse of the Sun but Evil Scroll" and "Xuanyue Broken Dragon Jue" very well, everything is ready, only Lei Split. But how can there be thunder in the first lunar month, and it is also a fool's dream to defeat the low-rate sect among the thirty-six sects with his current third-rate martial arts. Walking the rivers and lakes, if there is no strong martial arts and profound internal strength, it is too difficult to get ahead, let alone start a sect.

Duan Xiliu looked at him with a serious face and comforted: "Your martial arts have improved a lot, there is always a chance to give it a go." This is very unconfident, and it is estimated that even Duan Xiliu himself does not believe it. Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "Senior Sima is reasonable, but my Wudang faction is newly established, even if I can't enter the thirty-six faction, I must take this opportunity to beat the name of the Wudang faction." Sima An sneered: "As long as you show up, the Wudang faction will be successful, you offend the Jiuhua faction, if you hadn't gotten close to Li Yatou Ye's wife, Shaolin Temple would have locked you up with the four little demons." ”

Zhao Chengzong said curiously: "Why did Shaolin Temple arrest Brother Xiao?" Sima Anbai glanced at him and said: "Shaolin Temple is an authentic sect of Buddhism, and Jiuhua Mountain is its branch, so it is natural to protect it." This kid made a lot of trouble in Jiuhua Mountain, Fa and Huibing and others couldn't wait to skin him, and they had already gone to Shaolin Temple. Tomorrow is gone, it is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger and throwing itself into a net. ”

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Sima An, and said slowly: "What's the point of fighting and fighting? If you can't win, Master Xiao doesn't have to care, as long as Master Xiao is willing, he can find a position for you, isn't it better than fighting and killing all day long?" Zhao Chengzong clapped his hands and said: "This is very good, with Brother Xiao's great talent, he will definitely get ahead, and the younger brother will be able to learn more from Brother Xiao in the future." ”

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "You guys are too high-minded, Senior Sima is reasonable, and then let me think about it again." Duan Xiliu said: "You just said, take a step and look at a step, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't think about this matter anymore, let's talk about it after you get to Shaolin." ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that Xiao Han was displeased, and then comforted: "If you need help from a certain family, Master Xiao doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Chengzong suddenly said: "I have an idea, you might as well give it a try." Zhao Guangyi glanced at him, and Zhao Chengzong hurriedly smiled: "Uncle Zhao's martial arts under me are not bad, plus the twenty masters under Lord Zhao, it is better to let them take the name of the Wudang faction and fight for the head of Xiao, I dare not talk about the good ranking, and it is still certain to enter the thirty-six factions." Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good idea, anyway, Master Xiao came alone, let them join your Wudang faction temporarily, and then talk about it after winning the ranking." ”

Sima An didn't expect that these people didn't talk about morality at all, and they came up with this bad idea in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help crying and laughing, coughing and saying, "You guys are thinking too simply, it won't work at all." As he spoke, he turned to Duan Xiliu and said, "Boy, you tell them." ”

Duan Xiliu glanced at him and looked at the three of them: "Senior Sima is right, in order to prevent someone from impersonating, Shaolin Temple sent dozens of masters to the thirty-six factions and the sects that intend to compete a year ago, one is to register the list of people who participated in the martial arts conference, and the other is to take the Danqing Holy Hand to draw pictures of the personnel participating in the war, in order to be fair and just." Zhao Chengzong inhaled again and again when he heard this, and said, "What if someone in the middle is dead or injured?"

Duan Xiliu said: "If there is an accident, tell the Shaolin Temple as soon as possible, and the Shaolin Temple will send someone to verify." Zhao Guangyi praised: "It is worthy of being a famous and authentic family, and it is really thoughtful." Zhao Chengzong followed: "So, Brother Xiao can only participate in the war alone?"

Sima An said happily: "Of course he participated in the war alone, the bald donkeys and thieves and nuns of the Jiuhua faction have seen him, and he can't pretend to be one." Xiao Han just wanted to refute him, but suddenly heard a rough voice outside the door knock on the door: "Is Master Xiao here?"
