Chapter 40: Birthday Celebration (I)

"Qinglongmen!" The crowd immediately stirred. When the guests heard the name, they were all in an uproar. Dozens of knights sitting in the front hall rose up one after another, turned their eyes to the door, or shocked, or surprised, or angry, or disdainful, or disgusted, like more than a hundred sharp arrows brushed towards the two people who walked into the village.

Qinglongmen, the tumor sect of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, actually sent people to participate in the birthday feast!

If it was said that the Jade Girl Peak entered the village before everyone was surprised, then the arrival of Qinglongmen made people feel incredible.

Jade Girl Peak has been chivalrous and righteous for many years, and has been known for a long time, although its reputation is now damaged, but after all, it is only a white and slightly flawed, and it is still in the ranks of Orthodox Christianity. But the Qinglongmen is different, this sect has been almost against the entire rivers and lakes since its establishment, everything stands on the opposite side of the world's orthodox religion, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, many people in the seat have festivals with the Qinglongmen, in this case, these two cows, ghosts, snakes and gods came here to do something?

"Sit down, don't get up. Fortunately, I will be happy! I am fortunate to be happy!" The face of the surnamed class was full of joy, and as soon as he entered the village, he hugged his fists and greeted him, and ignored the frosty and cold faces of the people, and spoke to himself as if no one was around: "Today is really full of friends! Hahahaha, it is an honor to bow to a grand event!

"This brother is so magnificent, good looking, and the golden top iron fist, it is expected to be the master Hu Ji'an Hu who is good at holding Guan boxing, and he has been looking up for a long time! ”

Hu Ji'an, the bald strong man whose name was pointed out, snorted heavily in his nose and raised his eyes proudly. and did not give the two of them a return gift.

"Oh, Brother Xing. Do you see if this is Liu Zongying, the old hero of Liu Zongying, who is a double-sword war horse bandit? It is rumored that the old hero has a vision, and he has a horizontal eyebrow. It is an honor to see the model now. When the old heroes fought in the yellow sand with two swords, and the Qingqi Gang who did evil everywhere was single-handedly picked, this matter was very happy, one person against thirty-two people, the art master was bold, and such a feat made people's blood boil when they thought about it! Liu Lao Hero is really as famous as he was, and his demeanor is as good as in the past, which is gratifying!

Liu Zongying squinted his eyes and sipped tea. didn't answer, he looked coldly at Ban Keyan with a smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with light.

"This gentleman is a lupine and a green shirt, outstanding, if Ban Mou expects it to be good, it must be Mr. Hanlin Lou Yuyanlou, who is famous in Liangguang, fortunately! "Ban Xing and the others saluted all the way, and named the names of almost thirteen or fourteen people, but among the heroes, except for Lou Yuyan, he has cultivated people. Except for the smile in return, the rest of the people didn't look at them with straight eyes.

Fortunately, Ban Keyan seemed to have expected such a cold reception, and he didn't mind, and walked into the middle of the seat with high spirits. smiled: "For a long time, Ban has heard that the stars and the moon are shining, and the wind and clouds will meet. But I really can't imagine what it is. Today, I admired the birthday feast of the old hero Zhao, and finally knew the meaning of this sentence. Brother Xing. You and I are making this trip worthwhile, so many distinguished guests here. All of them are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, and it was difficult to ask to see each other in the past, but now we have seen it, hahaha, this is the meeting of the wind and clouds!

The young man Xing Ren looked indifferent as if he hadn't heard it, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

However, some of the heroes couldn't hold it back, and finally sneered: "Qinglongmen has done all the bad things and become the enemy of the world, everyone here is a good man who shovels evil and hoes, and they are all your opponents, what do you have to be happy about? According to me, you two monsters must be careful, the rivers and lakes are sinister, be careful not to enter the village, but you can't get out." ”

When Ban Keyan heard this, he looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "The one who spoke, I think it is He Qianqiu He, the head of the Plum Blossom Sect, I am ashamed and ashamed, the Qinglongmen is haunted by injustice, so that the head of He will see the joke." ”

He Qianqiu, who was sitting in the crowd, couldn't help but breathe when he heard the roll call. In his impression, he didn't seem to have dealt with this person, but seeing that the surnamed Ban walked in front and didn't look back, why could he distinguish him just by listening to the voice, which was really strange, and he said at the moment: "Qinglongmen has been plagued by rumors for several years in a row. Our master originally thought that those who are clear will be self-purifying, and those who are turbid will be turbid. Many unsubstantiated legends will inevitably stop at the wise, so they did not come out to refute the rumors. But I didn't expect that today, from a humble gentleman like Mr. He, he also heard accusations, and Ban Mou knew that he was very wrong. Alas, as the old saying goes, everyone is golden, and people are terrible. ”

"Pap, papa," as soon as the words fell, someone applauded vigorously, "What a sentence, all mouths are gold, and the bones are ruined," Huo Ding, an old veteran of the Plum Blossom Spear Sect who was sitting opposite He Qianqiu, laughed angrily, stood up and said, "It seems that Your Excellency is not only eloquent, but can also be called a sophisticer." Su Qin Zhang Yi, how can you see its strength compared to Your Excellency? The blood debt of my plum blossom gun and three lives, according to you, is also wronged by you?"

"The surname is class, you Qinglongmen haven't forgotten the Shouzhou Split Palm faction, right? Sixteen lives, I want you to pay for your blood debts!"

Someone started to start, and the anger that Qunhao had suppressed for a long time was finally ignited, and they all shouted and scolded: "The surname is class, I can remember your Qinglongmen! What kind of grievance does my Renhe dart game have with you, let you play such a hot hand? You didn't count if you robbed the dart car, and even killed all 22 of our dart masters, it's just not as good as a beast!"

"Dog thief, Qinglongmen Heaven and Man are punished together! My Senior Sister Qi's life, you give me back!"

"The bloody case of the nine lives of the Xue family in Hejian Mansion cannot be denied by you!

"Kill these two pups, chop off their hands and feet and feed the dogs!"

"Two things who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are still pretending to be here to slaughter them!

Seeing that Qunhao was angry, those who were anxious had already kicked the stool, and they were about to step forward desperately with bare eyes. The disciples of Hejiazhuang hurriedly dispersed and stepped forward to protect the driver. The Zhike disciple who had been dealing with a few people in Hong Hantang before applauded vigorously, "Bang! bang!" A few roars, the air shook into his ears, and the noisy scolding temporarily eased down.

"Heroes, listen to the next word. The disciple hugged his fist and made a salute, saying: "The right and wrong on the rivers and lakes are grievances and grievances. Zhao Jiazhuang had no intention of interfering. It's just that today is the 70th birthday of the family teacher, and the people who enter the village are our guests. Can everyone enjoy a thin face, first let go of the door prejudice and personal grudges? After the birthday ceremony, the gate is open to the south, thousands of roads, and all the heroes are happy and revenge, and Zhaojiazhuang will never interfere. Now if there is any hero who is really angry and has to seek revenge, it is not impossible, but please move to the outside of the village to break it off by yourself. Don't do anything in the house. On the auspicious day of Zhaojiazhuang, I don't want to see bloodshed happen. ”

When everyone heard this, they remembered that today's birthday celebration was the right thing, and it was really inappropriate to provoke and seek revenge on the He Chen of the broken jade knife. At the moment, they all suppressed their wrath and gradually returned to their seats. Except for a few guests with deep grudges, they stood like a wedge, staring at Ban Xing and the others angrily, wanting to fight out the door and break off, and settle accounts with the thieves of Qinglongmen. hesitated and couldn't do it, and the old revenge was not avenged and added a new soul.

Ben Keyan had a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end, and he was not moved by the crowd's emotions at all. And that young man Xing Renwan. I didn't blink my eyelids much. Waiting for the disciples of Zhaojiazhuang to appease Qunhao, Ban Keyan arched his hand and made a deep sigh. Said: "All the heroes are asking for guilt, and they accuse me of Qinglongmen with old news from the rivers and lakes. Ban was really at a loss for words. It's just that things can't be said clearly. The reason is not clear, since the matter has evolved to this point, Ban Moushao has to delay everyone for a moment and redress his grievances to the whole of the family. ”

Someone shouted angrily: "Stretch your grandmother's legs!

Ban Keyan didn't hear it, and continued: "Everyone knows that the days on the rivers and lakes are spent licking blood, and they survive and die. Since you devote yourself to this, you should have the heart to die at any time. Qinglongmen rose in the rivers and lakes three years ago, and has developed rapidly in the past few years, since the sect wants to survive and grow, it is inevitable to compete with others for fame and profit, and it has made a lot of enemies. I think this is also understandable, right? Let me ask all the heroes and leaders here, who has not pinched a few lives in their hands?"

The dart head of Renhe Dart Bureau said angrily: "It is true that people in the rivers and lakes have no complaints about life and death, but your Qinglongmen's methods are too vicious, and the rivers and lakes have always robbed money and not lives, and our dart bureau has been darts for many years......"

"Listen to me," Ban Keyan waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: "But then again, it is true that life and death are inseparable from the rivers and lakes, but after all, there is also a distinction between right and wrong, and we will never avoid the mistakes made by Qinglongmen, and we will not hide from everyone that in the past, in order to grow rapidly, we did not distinguish between good and bad, and they did many despicable things, Qinglongmen is duty-bound, and we must bear this notoriety." ”

"What kind of good person are you pretending to be? You don't have a good thing up and down the Qinglong Gate!"

"Fart, fart! You will downplay the responsibility, Qinglongmen has made a lot of anger in the past three years, and thousands of lives have been killed, how can this be attributed to a few people?"

The audience scolded lively, and Ban Keyan was not angry, and waited for the scolding to subside before he continued: "Don't worry, everything can be debated only if there is evidence." The rumors in the rivers and lakes have been flying for a long time, and the owner of the sect has heard a lot of gossip recently, so he is determined to vigorously rectify it and expel those black sheep from the gang. There is a saying that the prodigal son does not change his money, and although Qinglongmen has made mistakes, who can not make any mistakes in his life? I only hope that the heroes of the world will open the door of goodness, let the Qinglongmen return to the clear stream, and let us also contribute to the Central Plains art world. ”

"In order to show the determination of the Qinglongmen, we have started to clean up the scum in the gate, and after verification by our Criminal Name Hall, it is true that the indiscriminate killing of innocents committed by the registered disciples of the Qinglongmen has been ninety-one, with 439 people violated and 244 people killed. The rest are all normal grudges and vendettas, this is not an exaggeration in any sect, right? If it is said that there are too many thousands of people killed in my Qinglongmen, this is no way, there are more than 4,000 disciples in this sect, and it is not a great deal to count four people to kill one person in three years. ”

"There are more than 4,000 disciples in the Qinglong Sect!" Hearing this number, Qunhao was shocked in his heart. Most of the leaders here have no more than 100 disciples, and even if they are outstanding, they will not have more than 500 people. The Qinglongmen sect has only been established for a few years, but it has accepted more than 4,000 disciples, which cannot but be said to be amazing news.

Everyone was silent for a moment before someone sneered: "If you say how much, it's as much, anyway, I don't believe it." The tongue is in your mouth. If you want to say that no one in Qinglongmen is right to kill, then no one will refute it. After all, there is no proof of death. ”

Ban Keyan said: "There is loess under the blue sky, and there is also the arrest and investigation of the Strange Case Division in the middle. It's really hard to do something without leaving a trace. Brother Ye of Huaxi Valley, I know that your junior brother was killed by my disciple because of a grudge, so Brother Ye has a grudge in his heart. I don't blame you, the grievances on the rivers and lakes are knotted, of course it is best if this matter can be revealed, if Brother Ye refuses to forgive after all, then there is no way, Qinglongmen is waiting for you to come to take revenge at any time. Well. Speaking of which...... What I just said is an ordinary grievance, and as for the indiscriminate killing of innocent disciples, we have already made corresponding remedies and punishments. Dong Dart Head of Renhe Dart Bureau, the robbery of your bureau's dart car is also among them. The heroes of the green forest rob money and do not rob their lives, we understand this rule. Let me tell you, the offender is the Twelve Tiger Brothers of Kuaifeng who used to fall into the grass in Qingchang Mountain, and less than a month after joining Qinglongmen, they did not change their old habits and robbed your bureau at the foot of Hanyan Mountain. I'm sorry. The Torture Hall has expelled all 12 of them from the sect, and each of them has beheaded one of their siblings as a warning, and your bureau will see these twelve people in the future, but please feel free. Brothers come today. It is to return the robbed dart silver and the compensation for the twenty-two dead dart masters to your faction. ”

"Brother Xue Bohuai of Hejian Mansion, the case of nine lives in your mansion is to blame Qinglongmen, and it has been verified by the Criminal Hall of Fame. At the end of August 19 last year, 17 members of the Yuyan Gang went to your mansion at night to seek revenge. As for the reason for seeking revenge, you and I both know. Inconvenient when many say. They first set fire to the backyard, then entered through the front door, killed nine women and children in your mansion in the chaos, and then deliberately shouted at me to flee through the incision of the Qinglong Gate, and left behind the tokens in my door. Based on this, your government said that it was the Qinglongmen that did evil, which was imprudent. Although Qinglongmen has had a festival with your mansion, but the hatred is not here, now the criminal hall has caught the eleven people of the fishing and salt gang who did evil that night, and the day before yesterday when I left, I have sent someone to your mansion to testify in court, and when Brother Xue finishes the birthday of Zhao's seniors, he will know the truth of the matter when he goes back. ”

"Brother Gui of the three birds, six of your disciples were killed, this matter is a bit complicated......" Ban Keyan didn't finish speaking, suddenly heard a loud noise suddenly erupted in the inner hall, everyone turned their heads to look, he interrupted the conversation, chaotic footsteps trampled, and a few angry shouts came into everyone's ears: "Where is the dog thief in Qinglongmen?"

"Don't stop me! Everyone in Qinglongmen is scum, kill one is one, Lao Tzu will fight with them!"

When he raised his eyes, he saw a group of young disciples in different colors of clothing rushing into the front hall, and I don't know which sect it was, more than ten people were angry, and stood on the front steps of the hall, and scanned the court fiercely. After a short time, he found the two Ban Xing standing in the encirclement, a man with eyes like copper bells and a cloud bat pattern embroidered on his chest was the most impatient, and his eyes were red at that time, and he stepped into the open space under the steps in three steps and two steps, and shouted: "The dog thief of Qinglongmen! Kill my brother and give me my life!"

"Woo woo woo!" Before the person arrived, the knife had already sounded first, and the disciple had just jumped over the low railing, so he pulled out the nine-ring broadsword on his waist with his backhand, and threw the weapon weighing nine catties and four taels with strength in his wrist.

"Stop!"

"No!" all the disciples of Zhaojiazhuang exclaimed in unison, and six or seven disciples came forward at the same time, but it was already too late, the incident happened suddenly, and the distance was so far away, how could it be stopped! But seeing a streamer running through the courtyard, a distance of more than ten steps, it was instantaneous, and the hollowed-out wind whistle on the knife ring only made a thunderous sound, and the blade approached Ban Keyan's face.

"Good!"

"Oops!"

The crowd of heroes shrugged and changed color, some were delighted, and some were surprised.

I can't tell how many people are applauding this reckless blow, and how many people are secretly anxious. At this moment of life and death, more than 100 people in the court, each with their own ideas. At the moment when everyone waited with bated breath for the blood to splash......

The knife stopped suddenly.

It stopped without the slightest sound. The swift stream of light came to an abrupt halt above Ban Keyan's forehead. It's like there's an invisible hand in the void that suddenly reaches down and grabs the blade. It hung seven inches in front of Ban Keyan, as if it had been cast there from the beginning. The expression on Ben Keyan's face hadn't even changed in the slightest.

"Good knives," Ben said with a smile. His eyes fell on the knife in front of him, he reached out and gently held the handle of the knife, took it down, and looked at it horizontally in front of him, "The knife is a good knife, but it's a pity that the master's skill is still a little insufficient, if you can use the spiral force to penetrate the knife and hide the two-point hook, instead of simply throwing it away, then the speed will be much faster." Hehe, of course, even if that's the case, you still can't hurt me. He set his eyes on the face of the man who threw the knife, and smiled brightly, and the man's blood was splashed cold by this smile.

It was too far away, and the attack he sent out with all his strength was stopped by people lightly, without blinking. How can a mayfly shake a giant tree? What else does he dare to say about revenge? The original anger in his heart suddenly fell.

Of course, at this moment, there is no one who feels down. At the same time, there were also the heroes of the rivers and lakes who witnessed this scene. It was only at this time that everyone understood a simple truth: These two people dared to risk their lives to break into Zhaojiazhuang, and dared to talk and laugh in front of thousands of guests as if no one talked and laughed, and if they did not have amazing skills, how could they dare to do so? Qinglongmen is really unfathomable, there are many people in the gate, and there are such powerful masters, no wonder the first few huge righteous path encirclement and suppression have all returned in vain.
