Chapter 13: Scolding Jade
Yi Dan mounted his horse and followed Lixian to the north for another while. After walking a short distance, I found that there was a group of people in front of me, they were discussing something together, and Li Xian walked over with Yi Dan. The two dismounted and squeezed into the crowd, and Lee Hyun asked a man next to him, "Excuse me, what's going on here?"
After the man found Lixian, he said in surprise: "Look, isn't this a famous man, the hero of the Shangxiu Sect Lixian?"
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed to be down there, who are you?" asked Lixian.
"Lixian Daxia, we are disciples of the Dongchuan faction, and we are going to Youzhou to participate in the martial arts conference of the Sharpening Knife Gang," the man said.
"It's such a coincidence, I also went to Youzhou to participate in the martial arts conference," Lixian said.
"Yes, Master Lixian, we passed by here and found this person lying on the side of the road, dead for a long time, so everyone didn't dare to go forward," said the Dongchuan sect disciple.
Li Xian stepped forward and checked the corpse: "This is not from Penglai Island, is it the head of the Cloud Cliff Dao, how could he die here?" Li Xian recognized the deceased, so he said in surprise
"It is said that not long ago, the head of the Cloud Cliff Dao got a piece of 'scolding jade' and leaked the rumors, so that the bad ones knew, so they caused this disaster, maybe that's the case," said the Dongchuan sect disciple.
"Scolding jade? Could it be that the two pieces of exquisite jade that cursed the Shaolin Temple and the Knife Grinding Gang have been rumored on the rivers and lakes recently?" Li Xian wondered.
"That's right, it's one of the two pieces of scolding jade, one of which is the jade that curses Shaolin. It is said that the head of the Cloud Cliff Dao seemed to be preparing to hand over this piece of jade to Shaolin for disposal at the time of the Sharpening Knife Gang Youzhou Martial Arts Conference, but he didn't expect to be robbed of the jade by the people of the Dade Sect and killed the head of the Cloud Cliff Dao, which is really incredible," said the disciple of the Dongchuan faction.
At this time, Yi Dan on the side asked Lixian, "Master, what kind of teaching is the Great Virtue Sect?
Yi Dan's interjection made Li Xian a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly explained to everyone: "Oh, this is a disciple under the Xia, who is new to the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know how to be polite, please Haihan."
"Since you are a disciple of Lixian Daxia, of course it doesn't matter, girl, let me tell you, this Great Virtue Sect is not a moral sect," said the disciple of the Dongchuan Sect.
"Then what is it called the Great Virtue Sect? You see, the knife sharpening gang is all about sharpening knives, and it should have great virtue in the Great Virtue Sect," Yi Dan said without timidity.
Yi Dan's words made everyone present lean back and laugh, and the Dongchuan sect disciple laughed and said, "The disciple of Lixian Daxia is really innocent and cute."
"This girl is not sensible, and everyone laughs," Rikhyun explained.
"However, what she said is not unreasonable, many people think that it is a noble sect when they first hear the Great Virtue Sect, but they do not know that there are many people in the world who are like this Great Virtue Sect, who are not worthy of the name, well-dressed on the surface, charitable and kind, but in fact, they are hypocrites who are different on the outside and on the outside, and are sanctimonious," said the disciple of the Dongchuan faction.
And Yi Dan looked innocent and ignorant, and continued: "Ah? I didn't say that."
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again. Li Xian said: "Having said that, this great virtue sect is really nonsense, for a piece of broken jade, it is really unbelievable that he has such a poisonous hand."
"So, a cult is a cult, and there is no discipline at all in doing things," said a disciple of the Dongchuan faction.
And another person next to him said: "Yes, thanks to Huang Yuetian, the leader of the Great Virtue Sect, he still regarded himself as virtuous and noble, but he didn't expect that later, he soon revealed his original form."
"Yes, it is rumored that Huang Yuetian, in order to win the title of the first in the world of martial arts, framed You Bailin Daxia, so that You Daxia died at the hands of the imperial court, it is really hateful to think about it" Dongchuan School disciple said.
"Yes, I heard that the Shaolin Temple and the Knife Grinding Gang went to Taibai Mountain to besiege the Dade Sect, I don't know what happened later?" asked the other.
"Hey, I'm ashamed, I went to the Great Virtue Sect War thirteen years ago," Lixian said.
"Then what happened later? How powerful was that Huang Yuetian? Why didn't the Shaolin Temple and the masters of Tingfeng Hall destroy it?" asked the Dongchuan Sect disciple.
"Huang Yuetian is too cunning, he always plays hide and seek with us, and until the end, we didn't catch him," Li Xian said.
"It's a shame. In the past few years, the Great Virtue Sect has been acting recklessly on the rivers and lakes, and it has become a public enemy of martial arts," said a disciple of the Dongchuan faction.
"Yes, a few years ago, I heard that they resisted the Khitan, but now there is no news of any resistance to the Khitan," another said.
"The Cloud Cliff Daoist has always been friendly and does not make enemies with anyone on the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to be poisoned by this kind of murder, it's really incredible," Li Xian said.
"Not really. It's a pity that this Great Virtue Sect is haunted and hides in the ice and snow of the Bohai Kingdom, otherwise our Central Plains Martial Arts Righteous Path would have uprooted them a long time ago," said the Dongchuan Sect disciple.
"It is said that Huang Yuetian, the leader of the Dade Sect, is ranked first in the martial arts record of Xu Mo's "Zhige Famous Tree", and the phrase 'Huang No. 1 after Bailin' has also been circulating in the rivers and lakes for many years," another person said.
"That's right, but this is all because Huang Yuetian hijacked Xu Mo and changed his ranking indiscriminately. Later, after the Dade Sect was besieged by Shaolin Temple and Tingfeng Hall, he didn't dare to be so arrogant, and now the person who ranked first on the "Zhige Famous Tree" has been changed to the first leader of the Knife Grinding Gang, Ouyang Yu Cheng" said the disciple of the Dongchuan faction.
"I also heard that this Huang Yuetian had the audacity to force Na Sumo to write that he was the number one master in the universe in "Zhige Famous Score". It's a joke to be cowering in a turtle shell now, doing this kind of chicken-crow and dog-stealing thing," said another.
At this time, Yi Dan on the side couldn't help but interject: "The number one master in the universe?
"Yes, girl, there are still many shameless people in this river and lake, you have to be careful in the future, don't be deceived by those scammers with rhetoric," the Dongchuan disciple said to Yi Dan.
"If I meet this kind of person in the future, I will definitely go up and punch him, so that his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and even his own mother can't recognize him, see if he will dare to be so arrogant in the future" Yi Dan said, waving his fists and dancing. It made everyone can't help it, and they laughed again.
Li Xian shook his head and said, "Hey, forget it, I think we'd better let the Cloud Cliff Dao Chief first, and go into the ground for peace."
So, under the suggestion of Li Xian, everyone buried the head of the Cloud Cliff Dao on the spot. Then everyone walked all the way, and after passing through Weizhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou, Jizhou, and Zhuozhou occupied by the Jin army, they finally arrived in Youzhou City on the day before the martial arts conference began. They found an inn and stayed there to prepare for the martial arts conference held the next day at the headquarters of the Knife Grinding Gang, Yongyi Villa near Youzhou Terrace.
