Chapter 43: Half a Year

In Hengyang, Hunan, there are more than a dozen people sitting in a dilapidated teahouse next to the official road.

Among these people are stout quacks, there are old farmers in shabby clothes, Dr. Tea is filling tea for everyone sitting in the shop, a hunchbacked man in a coarse cloth coat is sitting in the corner, and an old man in a blue robe squeaks and plays the huqin on the table at the far side of the teahouse.

On a table in the center of the teahouse sat several high-rollers, with sharp waists and hips, and long swords on the tea table, and they were talking.

A middle-aged man in a blue cloth shirt said to the Jianghu guest sitting opposite: "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you in this Hunan realm for some years. Where have you been all these years?"

The man surnamed Jianghu said: "Brother Li, we haven't seen each other for many years, I have traveled south and north over the years, and I have experienced a lot in the rivers and lakes. ”

Brother Li said with a smile: "That Brother Zhang's return this time must be a great advance in martial arts, and he has returned to his hometown." ”

Brother Zhang waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's just that I've been out for a long time, I'm homesick, come back and take a look!"

Brother Li was just polite, and when he saw that the Jianghu guest surnamed Zhang was not answering, he continued: "Brother Zhang has been wandering outside for many years, and I am afraid that there are a lot of people in the market, please tell me about it!"

The brother Zhang was not polite, picked up the teacup, took a sip of thirst, and then said: "If you want to talk about it, I have traveled south and north, wandered the rivers and lakes over the years, and indeed seen a lot of things, then I will tell you about the three major events that have happened on the rivers and lakes in the past six months!"

As soon as everyone in the teahouse saw that there was a story to hear, they all came up, the hunchbacked man in the corner also tilted his ears to listen, and the old man in the blue robe also stopped the huqin and played it again.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the brother nodded and continued with satisfaction.

"In the past six months, a total of three major events have happened, all of which are enough to change the form of the rivers and lakes!"

"This first one, everyone here has probably heard of it, that is, the 'Golden Snake Demon Monarch' sword challenged the Luoyang Golden Sword Gate, defeated the 'Golden Sword Invincible' Wang Yuanba, won the Golden Knife, and was successfully promoted to the 'Sword Double Gold'!"

When the brother said this, he found that everyone had a look of disapproval on their faces, and a few impatient ones were about to jump out.

Not busy or slow, he said: "Everyone should have heard about this matter, but the follow-up of this matter, it is estimated that everyone is not clear." ”

"Oh, and there is a follow-up, Brother Zhang, come on!" the man surnamed Li asked on behalf of everyone.

"Okay! This Golden Knife Gate is not as good as a year, before relying on the name of 'Golden Knife Invincible', so that the young people did not dare to move, this time the Golden Knife was taken away, then the Henan border is surging, countless small sects are ready to move, and the Zhengzhou ** Gate, which has been fighting against the Golden Knife Gate, intends to attack the Golden Knife Gate directly. ”

Saying that the brother Zhang drank the tea in the teacup here, Brother Li saw it on the side and hurriedly helped him refill the tea.

"It stands to reason that this Golden Knife Gate is in a catastrophe, but I don't think that the Shaolin Temple came forward and sent two senior monks of the square character generation to Zhengzhou, gathered the ** Gate and several other larger sects, met with them once, and persuaded them to give up the move against the Golden Knife Gate. These sects are the dogs raised by the Shaolin Temple, where can they not obey their fate, those larger sects have extinguished the fire, those small sects have to find their own, that Wang Yuanba is really powerful, although there is no golden knife, the skill is not reduced, one person directly sent them all, since then, the golden knife door has a glimmer of life, and now the sect is more and more prosperous. ”

As soon as Brother Zhang's voice fell, a stout man from the rivers and lakes on the side shouted, "It is worthy of being a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, and he actually wiped out a fight, which is really immeasurable!"

The audience on the side also admired.

Only the brother Zhang sneered, "Do you think this is the Shaolin Temple's good intentions!"

Everyone was stunned.

"This Henan has always belonged to the Shaolin Temple territory, in Henan on the border of the mixed rice in the rivers and lakes of the people are born in Shaolin, the remaining two into one percent is the ancestors and Shaolin Temple has a relationship, and then on the real estate, this Shaolin Temple occupies Henan does not know how many acres of good arable land, good house, these things are not all with the means of righteousness and brightness, there are always some unsightly methods, in Henan there are always some people who hate Shaolin Temple. ”

"In addition to being attached to the Songshan faction, these people were originally attached to the Golden Knife Gate, if the Golden Knife Gate falls, in case a more powerful sect comes out, can the Shaolin Temple not panic, for the Shaolin Temple, a declining Golden Knife Gate is much easier to deal with than a new Jianghu sect, not to mention that if the ** door is powerful, who can guarantee that he will also be a dog for the Shaolin Temple wholeheartedly, if he is bitten back, then the face of the Shaolin Temple will be lost!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads, thinking that it was really reasonable, isn't it like you are fighting for me on the rivers and lakes.

"Then Brother Zhang, let's talk about the second thing!" The man surnamed Li saw that the first thing was so weighty, and he hurriedly urged.

"The second thing is that there is a fierce man in the area of Huangshan in Anhui Province, who unified all the sects in the nearby places and created the Huangshan faction, and the swordsmanship is known as the 'three hundred and sixty-five views of the Yellow Mountain', which is very exquisite, and the surrounding factions have been attached, and a big sect has been established in an instant. ”

When Brother Li heard this, he also said: "I have also heard about this matter, but this is not a big deal, there are sects falling every year on the rivers and lakes, and there are also sects established, so the 'Huangshan faction' is a new sect after all, and its strength is not strong, how can it be said that it is a major event that affects the rivers and lakes!"

The brother Zhang smiled, "Brother Li, you don't understand this, this Huangshan faction head Hu Fei is not an ordinary person, but a Huashan outcast, this person was notified by the Huashan faction's 'Junzi Sword' Yue Buqun after a year of martial arts practice in the Huashan faction, but it didn't take long for him to become the head of the Huangshan faction, which can be seen in general. ”

When Brother Li heard this, he couldn't help but think deeply, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Brother Zhang continued: "This Anhui land is located between Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, neither by the sea, the industry and commerce in the province are not developed, and there is no gate faction in itself, almost no strength, the rivers and lakes here have always been Henan Shaolin Temple, Hubei Wudang Mountain, Hunan Hengshan faction, Jiangxi Longhu Mountain Zhengyi faction, Fujian Fuwei Dart Bureau, Zhejiang Haisha Gang, Jiangsu Maoshan faction and beggar gang and Sun Moon Divine Sect compete with each other, not peaceful. ”

"Isn't the sudden appearance of a Huangshan faction in the mouths of these big factions in the rivers and lakes, but the head of this Huangshan faction is an outcast of the Huashan faction, and there is nothing greasy in this, these big factions have not figured out the details of the Huangshan faction for a while, and they dare not act rashly. After all, the Huashan faction is one of the Wuyue Sword Sects, and the Wuyue Sword Sect spans more than a dozen provinces, and it is not easy to mess with countless people in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Hu Fei, the head of Huangshan, is also a capable person, taking advantage of the hesitation of these big factions, he started again and again, pulled out a lot of nails, and continued to expand outward, and when those big factions made up their minds, half of Anhui had been swallowed by the Huangshan faction, and it was not so easy to let him spit it out,"

"So during this period of time, the martial arts in the Anhui realm is very powerful, I have seen a lot of people in the martial arts of my Hengyang there, there are people from the Hengshan Sword Sect, there are also other small sects and Jianghu scattered people, they are all working with the Sun Moon God Sect and the Haisha Gang, they should be going to help the Huangshan faction, it is estimated that Liu Sanye opened the golden mouth, and the Wuyue Sword Sect is afraid that it is going to form an alliance with the Huangshan faction. ”

When Brother Zhang talked about the prevalence of martial arts in Anhui, he still had palpitations, and looked at a scar on his body, afraid that this was the mark he left in Anhui.

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this, and then they understood what the rivers and lakes are, and the hunchbacked man who was secretly listening on the side stuffed a steamed bun in his mouth for a long time and didn't swallow it, and the old man in the blue robe who had been pulling the erhu also stopped Hu Xian.

Brother Li couldn't help but sigh: "Listening to Brother Zhang, this Hengyang is still very good, and if you have nothing to do in the future, you can mix it up on this one-third of an acre." ”

The brother Zhang smiled, "This is nothing, although the border of Anhui is chaotic, although the people are fierce, but they are brave and cowardly, there is the pressure of the government above, and the major factions do not dare to fight on a large scale, and the major factions have their own advantages,"

"The Hengshan faction like ours is the closest, and the Wuyue Alliance can transfer people at any time,"

"There are many disciples like that beggar gang, but there are not many martial arts skills,"

"Shaolin and Wudang are half of the official figures, it is not good to fight directly, the Haisha Gang is a smuggled salt seller, and at the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, Emperor Taizu fought for the world, and was suppressed by the current dynasty, although there is money, but it is not good to appear in the light,"

"That Zhengyi and the Maoshan faction are both Taoist sects, but they are inferior in terms of basic force,"

"That Sun and Moon God Sect, once set up a sect in Huangshan, but now it is not as good as it was then, now anyone who mentions them has to scold a demon sect, once it appears, it is a rat crossing the street - everyone shouts and beats. ”

"Although the Huangshan faction is newly built, it is rooted in the soil and has strong potential, and the head Hu Fei is a person with insight. ”

"So in the case of each having his own scruples, there are a lot of small fights, and there are no big fights. ”

This brother Zhang is afraid that he has heard the analysis of others before, and this time he said it in one go, and he really gained the admiration of everyone.

"This third thing is much more influential than these things. Brother Zhang lifted the teapot and found that there was no water, so Brother Li hurriedly called Dr. Tea over and added tea and water.

"It can be said that this third thing is enough to change the outcome of the first two things!" Brother Zhang drank the hot tea he had just added.

"What a big deal, you might as well talk to us. "It's still that Brother Li.

The two of them may be from cross talk, one is funny, the other is funny, and the cooperation is very tacit.

"You may have heard of this third major event, or you may not have heard of it," the brother slapped the table, "This is the Fuwei Dart Bureau Massacre!"
