The night gradually receded, and the dim sun shone through the mist on Huashan. Dawn is approaching, Zhang Yuhua, Lin Xiaotong and his wife, Huashan faction disciples and servants, and maidservants all got up early, cleaned up, made breakfast, and prepared face wash and breakfast for the martial arts heroes and VIPs. The dawn of Huashan has a unique charm, the sun bathes in the Huashan that has not yet fully awakened, the birds have just opened their sleepy eyes, the green trees are verdant and swaying with the wind, the brighter and brighter sunlight shines on the leaves, flowers and leaves, crystal clear, the cool wind blows away the heat of summer. Zhang Yuhua stared at the far south, reminiscing about the past. Lin Xiaotong stood next to Zhang Yuhua and observed Zhang Yuhua with affection. The night gradually faded, and the big round sun seemed to have not woken up, emitting a dim yellow light, shining on the clouds surrounding the mountainside of Huashan Mountain, emitting a golden light.

Since ancient times, Huashan is famous for its precipitous beauty, the mountain is handsome, the wall stands thousands, the peaks are quite beautiful, the majestic and dangerous, has the reputation of being the first in the world, as everyone knows, in addition to this masculine beauty, there is also the picturesque of the night, the fragrance of the morning is fragrant, which makes people feel thrilling and tranquil and natural, relaxed and happy. ”

Zhang Yuhua and Lin Xiaotong heard Shi Junliang's voice, hurriedly turned around and bowed to Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie, two old-timers.

"Among the five mountains, Songshan is in the middle. Not only the mountain peaks are like swords and halberds, as spectacular, but also the spring water is beautiful, plus the martial arts master originated in the Shaolin Temple, so compared with Songshan, Huashan, Hengshan, Hengshan, Mount Tai are like a small star surrounded by the bright moon, and they can't bear the reputation of the teacher. ”

"My nephew has been under the guidance of Senior Brother Duan Linwen since he was a child, and he is strong in martial arts and full of poetry and books, so he is really a rare young talent in the martial arts. But Yuhua's nephew does not have to be too modest, although Huashan can not be said to be unique in the land of China, but it is not inferior to the other five mountains, and the same is true for the other peaks of the five mountains, after all, each scenery has the beauty of each scenery, if the peaks in the world are the same, it will not show its beauty. ”

"Yuhua's nephew doesn't need to be humble, what the junior brother just said is very correct. We are looking for Yuhua's nephew today to discuss a strange thing in the martial arts. ”

Zhang Yuhua remembered the strange thing that happened in the previous month, the Ghost Hand Gate, a sect with a huge power and a high status in the evil sect, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty city of the Ghost Hand Gate to tell the mysterious things that happened.

Zhang Yuhua and Lin Xiaotong asked Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie to go first, and they walked a little behind on the left to lead the way. The sky has been bright, the yellow light of the sun has turned into a slightly dazzling white light, the clouds have become white as snow, all the martial arts people and distinguished guests have already gotten up, when they met Shi Junliang, Liu Zhijie and Zhang Yuhua and his wife, they all greeted each other, and the four of them returned the salute. At the entrance of the hall of the north house of the Huashan faction, Zhang Yuhua and his wife saw the heads of other sects waiting in the corridor in front of the door, waiting for the arrival of Shi Junliang, Liu Zhijie and Zhang Yuhua. The heads of each sect first paid tribute to Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie's martial arts masters, and then saluted each other with Zhang Yuhua and his wife. Most martial arts people don't have so much red tape, and after a simple etiquette, at the invitation of Zhang Yuhua and his wife, Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie were invited to enter the hall first, and the others walked into the hall later without any order. Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie simply and humbly gave a few words, and at the request of the heads of various sects, they did it due north, Liu Zhijie was on the left, and Shi Junliang was on the right. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Yuhua sat on the east side, while the others sat on the east side and some on the west side. This house is carved beams and painted buildings, spacious and bright, in the center of the hall there is a table of eight immortals, directly above the table of eight immortals is the landscape painting of Huashan, under the table of eight immortals are two chairs of the Taishi, in front of the table of eight immortals is divided into two columns of nine chairs, and there is a chair on the side. Zhang Yuhua was first on the right hand in the east, Lin Xiaotong was second, and Xia Yuxue and Zheng Yingying were behind. In the west, Xiao Yuyang is first, Wang Jianyu is second, Qin Huasheng is third, Sun Jingran is fourth, and Xu Zhongyu is fifth. Although these people did not pay attention to the seats when they were seated, the habit over the years still made them automatically arrange their seats according to the rules of the rivers and lakes and human etiquette.

"Just now, when I was on the edge of the cliff of Huashan, Uncle Shi said that there are some things to discuss with us, and today we are sitting here, and I ask the two seniors to advise Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi. ”

"As soon as Ling'er's birthday passed yesterday, Lao Gao discussed this matter with the head of the house, which made Lao Gao and the heads feel ashamed, but because of the importance of this matter, Lao Gao had to mention this matter. Ten years ago, after Senior Brother Zhou Qinghai fell into the Uninhabited Valley in the Broken Intestine Cliff, there are still evil sects in the world, such as the Ghost Hand Sect, the Lotus Sect, the Lingxiao Palace, and the Kunlun Sect. A month ago, the Ghost Hand Gate disappeared in the rivers and lakes overnight, and the old man was shocked, and he felt that the rivers and lakes were about to rise again. ”

"Senior Brother Junliang talked about this matter just now, and all of us must be as shocked as Senior Brother Junliang. Therefore, when the heroes of the world gathered in Huashan, Senior Brother Junliang and Poor Dao came to discuss how we should deal with the storm that may come. ”

"The ghost hand sect is active in the deep mountains and old forests in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many disciples and they are strong in martial arts, and they are very good at light skills, and their head Lin Canghai ghost hand skills are even more powerful, and they have a high status in the evil sect, how can such a powerful leader, such a big sect disappear in the rivers and lakes overnight, not to mention that the deep mountains and old woodlands are vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to want a sect to disappear suddenly. There are many disciples of the Beggar Gang, and in order to understand the detailed reason, I sent many disciples from the place where the Ghost Hand Gate is active to inquire about their whereabouts, but the result is that no one can be found, and the corpses cannot be found, and all my people have come back safe and sound. ‘

Xiao Yuyang said with a little fear.

"What Senior Brother Xiao said made me even more confused, after hearing that the Ghost Hand Gate disappeared overnight, I thought about whether the Ghost Hand Gate was wiped out or annexed by that evil sect, but then I heard that other evil sects were also terrified, panicking all day long, I felt that this possibility was very small, when I heard Senior Brother Xiao say that I couldn't find the corpse, I felt that this situation was impossible, so many people died and it was impossible to leave a trace, and if the people in the Ghost Hand Gate did not die, where did they go?"

Qin Huasheng, the head of the Huo family faction, was full of doubts.

"Senior Brother Watson is right, it is very strange that such a big sect has no body dead and no head, and suddenly evaporated from the world. ”

Summer rain and snow followed.

"The area of activity of the Ghost Hand Gate is in the forests of the south of the Yangtze River, the land is vast and sparsely populated, could they be hiding in a cave or valley somewhere? No, no, what are they hiding there for, practicing martial arts? It is impossible for so many people to practice martial arts at the same time. What kind of secret things are being discussed? So many people suddenly disappear from the rivers and lakes, it's so noticeable that the secret is almost no longer a secret? Where did they go?"

Zheng Yingying herself refuted her own speculation.

"The rivers and lakes are really rivers and lakes, even when the wind and waves are calm, the waves under the water surface are still turbulent, and the undercurrents are surging, maybe the calm of the past ten years is an illusion, and the dangerous and terrible situation may be coming. ”

Sun Jingran took a breath of relief.

The heads of the martial arts in the hall all had tense faces, although they were all using other imaginations to prove that this matter was not so terrible, but among them, even those who were younger, they had experienced many big or small ups and downs in the martial arts, and they knew that this matter was by no means accidental, and it must contain terrible secrets. Fear, doubt, and mystery flickered on each of their faces, whether heroic or beautiful or elegant. Death will have a greater or lesser fear for everyone, but they are more worried about the comfort of the entire Wulin and the people of Limin. Every martial arts catastrophe will take the lives of many martial arts people and even ordinary people, causing countless orphans and widows, and the sect will wither. They have experienced the catastrophe ten years ago, and Shi Junliang and Liu Zhijie have experienced three or four catastrophes, and they don't want to see that kind of dehumanization again.

"Regarding the disappearance of the Ghost Hand Sect, we, including the other righteous sects in the rivers and lakes that have not yet arrived, no matter how big or small, should unite as one, discuss countermeasures, and jointly deal with this possible martial arts catastrophe. ”

"Uncle Shi is very right, we must unite as one, it is possible to deal with this possible catastrophe, if we are more careful, the righteous sects in our rivers and lakes can also take this opportunity to communicate more and deepen their feelings. ”

Zhang Yuhua said impassionedly.

"First of all, we need to figure out why the Ghost Hand Gate is suddenly messing around, and what the purpose of the Ghost Hand Gate or creating the Ghost Hand Gate to suddenly disappear is, and then we can make more specific arrangements. The beggar gang is the largest faction in the world, with a large number of people and strong martial arts, and the old man wants to ask the head of Xiao to be responsible for the news about the ghost hand gate and other possible things. ”

"The beggars are duty-bound. ”

"So far, there have been no casualties in the beggar gang disciples' investigation of the news, but we must not take it lightly, and the beggar disciples must be more careful when inquiring about the news to minimize and avoid casualties. ”

Liu Zhijie and the other leaders are psychologically aware that although there were no casualties among the beggar disciples when they inquired about the news, everyone knew that it might be possible to minimize casualties, and avoiding casualties was just a beautiful idea, a beautiful idea.
