Chapter 144: Yun Yong
There was more Guo Nu in the team, and Ye Wen and the others were not as relaxed as before, and the disciples didn't dare to say too much when they were in a hurry, so they could only be silent, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and reveal what Guo Nu would hear.
In comparison, Xu Xian is more relaxed, Guo Nu accosted him, and he also dealt with it calmly, if he just saw the two of them at this time, he said that it was two friends chatting while walking.
"I have heard of the name of Xu Gongzi for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to see it in person today, it is really a blessing for three lives!" Guo Nu had only heard that the famous Xu Xian had entered the Shushan faction, and it seemed that he had also learned kung fu that was not weak. But he didn't care, he just thought it was a weak scholar who was greedy for fun and ran to practice martial arts to relax.
Later, I found out that Xu Xian's swordsmanship was exquisite, so he had a little snack. But at that time, I didn't take it too seriously, after all, the swordsmanship is exquisite, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the kung fu is strong. What's more, Xu Xian has hardly ever fought with any strongmen, and no one can say to what extent this kung fu has reached.
Even if he learned that Lu Tian was killed by Xu Xian, judging from the news he heard, this Xu Xian killed Lu Tian with a sneak attack, and it was not a real skill.
Therefore, Xu Xian is serious in Tianle to help everyone, and the threat surname is not as good as Ning Ruxue, because Ning Ruxue really defeated Lu Tian head-on, and people who can have this kind of kung fu in Pingzhou are all famous characters.
This kind of thinking didn't change until she saw Hua Yi again and heard the true strength of the Shushan faction from her mouth.
"What are you talking about?Then Ye Wen knows how to cast sword qi with his bare hands?" Guo Nu's first reaction was the scene of Ye Wen's fingers on the wine glass at the banquet, and he felt that it was not an ordinary fingering technique, and that feeling was like Ye Wen holding a dagger.
After that, he was quite jealous of Ye Wen's kung fu, and he didn't want Hua Yi to tell him that that hand was nothing at all, Ye Wen could completely condense his internal strength into sharp sword qi, and cast it at least two or three zhang away.
"I saw him inscribe on the wall of Shu Mountain with his sword qi! If Elder Guo doesn't believe it, he will go to Shu Mountain in person, and as long as he reaches the bottom of the mountain, he will be able to see the big word Shu Mountain!"
When Guo Nu heard this, a cold sweat appeared on his forehead, he had already kept improving Ye Wen's cultivation, but he didn't think that if he talked about combat power, Ye Wen might be even stronger than he thought.
Originally, he had the intention to stop Ye Wen, because he relied on it, and although the Golden Bell Jar Kung Fu he cultivated had not reached the end of his life, he could ignore the general fist and foot injuries. Even ordinary blades could not hurt him in the slightest. With this divine power to protect the body, even if you can't beat Ye Wen, it is not a big problem to maintain an invincible and undefeated situation. But who would have thought that Ye Wen actually knew how to condense his internal strength into sword qi, if that sword qi was sharp enough to break through his face, his golden bell jar kung fu, which he had finally achieved with great difficulty, would likely be abolished.
"I know that Elder Guo's biggest reliance is on the set of Rulai Vajra Fist, and the second is this golden bell jar kung fu...... However, I don't think that Elder Guo's body protection skills can withstand Ye Wen's Purple Night Dragon Qi Sword!" This is not counting, Hua Yi then threw out a piece of news that made Guo Nu even more surprised: "What's more, if Ye Wen is bent on making trouble with this gang, I'm afraid that none of us can stop him except for my master or Lin Gang Master!"
Guo Nu didn't like to listen to this very much: "Although Ye Wen's martial arts are strong, but he is not so strong? Could it be that he can send me away unscathed? Elder Hua is too small to peep at me!"
Hua Yi chuckled: "Elder Guo, don't worry! What people mean is that if Ye Wen is bent on finding Gang Master Lin to settle his grievances, then if we make a move, I'm afraid we won't be able to touch Ye Wen himself at all!"
"What do you mean?" Guo Nu's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly thought of a very bad possibility.
Hua Yi knew that he had guessed when he saw his expression, but he didn't dare to be sure if he didn't hear the words from his mouth, so he had to make things clear: "Senior brother and sister Ye Wen, kung fu is not much worse than him! Moreover, his senior sister Nan Ning is also proficient in a sword qigong method, although it is not as domineering and strong as Ye Wen, but it is more flexible and easy to guard!"
When Guo Nu heard this, he didn't need to ask Ning Ruxue how high his cultivation was, he only heard that the woman could also use sword qi this kind of kung fu, and she was definitely not an ordinary martial artist. If you don't cultivate to a certain level, how can you indulge the true qi that is released freely?
What's more, it is still the incomparable condensation of sword qi, which is several times more difficult than controlling ordinary strength - while maintaining the condensation of sword qi, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to do it.
How did he know that if the Shushan Sect talked about the ability to indulge in true qi, no one could compare to Ye Wen, and with Ye Wen's cultivation, he could only barely control the whereabouts of the Zixiao Dragon Qi Sword, but this kung fu is still not good at change, and the emphasis is on going straight and hurting people with force.
Ning Ruxue was completely thanks to the characteristics of the innate body-breaking and phaseless sword qi formed after the mutation, so she could be so relaxed, not to mention that she was full of sword qi, and the release was naturally also sword qi, so she didn't have to bother to keep the sword qi condensed at all, but it was not as troublesome as when Ye Wen used the Zixiao Dragon Qi Sword.
Guo Nu didn't know this, but Ning Ruxue's kung fu was also extremely strong, and his heart was even more anxious, I don't know how much strength this Shushan faction has hidden, this martial arts conference, whether he Tianle Gang can withstand this huge variable - Ye Wen has upgraded from a variable to a huge variable.
At the same time, Hua Yi also said that Xu Xian's kung fu is not bad, although he did not take action personally, but from his usual demeanor and occasional words, she also learned that Xu Xian has stepped into the innate threshold, and his pure yang internal strength has been cultivated.
"It's just that Xu Xian seems to have suffered some trauma when he was practicing, he has lung disease, and he has never been better, and it seems to have worsened a few days ago, and he has to cough a few times from time to time. ”
Hua Yi rolled his eyes, and finally remembered this, and he didn't know if he could help Guo Nu.
This is why Guo Nu talked to Xu Xian from time to time, in order to find out more about Xu Xian's fiction and reality.
"I heard that Xu Gongzi seems to be slightly ill, I don't know what the current situation is? Although Elder Ben doesn't know medical skills, the Tianle Gang industry is all over Kyushu, and it's no problem to come and help Gongzi find some genius treasures to treat his illness!"
Xu Xian smiled slightly, and hurriedly thanked him: "Then thank Elder Guo first! My illness is not a big deal, originally this body of masculine internal strength has been cultivated, and it can be resolved! It's just that I suffered some cold a while ago, which caused this lung disease to worsen, so it will take a little more time!"
Elder Guo's mind turned sharply, and he said secretly: "Suffering from the cold? Pure Yang Strength? It seems that his lung disease is caused by the cold qi entering his lungs, but how can a master with pure Yang strength be injured by the cold? Unless the cold qi is strong and domineering, he can't resist it at all!" He only said that Xu Xian was injured after practicing Pure Yang Gong, although it is not wrong to say so, but in fact, his injury was suffered before the Pure Yang Gong was completed, so it is so difficult.
After thinking about it, Guo Nu thought of the Tianshan faction's ice spirit cold skill, after all, this kung fu is famous for its coldness: "I haven't heard of any master sent by Tianshan to Pingzhou...... Could it be that other masters who know how to be cold and have a conflict with this Xu Xian?"
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't think of the result, I just laughed a few times on my face, and chatted with Xu Xian without a word.
Xu Xian didn't care, he talked to Ye Wen yesterday, because Hua Yi had lived on his book mountain for so long, and many things couldn't be hidden at all. Since you can't hide it, you can just say it generously, and you can ask the other party to spend more brains.
"This is called the virtual is the real, the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, the real is mixed, ......and the confusion is not clear;
Along the way, although everyone talked constantly, the speed of the road did not slow down a bit, and soon entered the boundary of Hezhou, and only needed to travel a few more days to reach the place where this martial arts conference was held - the mountain gate of the North Sword Gate.
"Elder Pei of this gang is from the Beijian Sect, and this time our Tianle Gang can be regarded as having some light from Elder Pei, so the accommodation and other issues have been solved in advance. As you walk with Elder Ben, you don't have to worry too much about food and lodging. ”
Ye Wenwen also wondered why he only saw Guo Nu alone, even if the elite of the Tianle Gang was sent from the main rudder, but there would not be a single person on the rudder side, right? Hearing this, he realized that the people here had already set off in advance and arranged some affairs near the North Sword Gate. Only Guo Nu was left waiting for them on the main traffic route.
After thinking about it, after entering the town, Hua Yi walked to the front without everyone noticing, and finally walked into the inn where Guo Nu was, thinking that he saw the secret code of the Tianle Gang, which led everyone over unconsciously-I didn't expect this woman to talk in front of everyone, and there was such a layer of intention in jumping, and I thought about it afterwards.
Of course, this is also related to Ye Wen not paying much attention to it at the time, he patronized and checked the surrounding scenery, and didn't pay attention to these things at all - the other disciples are similar, this is a manifestation of not seeing the world and lacking experience.
After thinking about it, Ye Wen suddenly spoke: "Your gang is an elite this time, and I think I am looking forward to showing my strength at that martial arts event!"
Guo Nu glanced at Ye Wen, thought for a while in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Master Ye, the leader of the Lin Gang intends to challenge a few masters at this conference, so as to expand the industry of my Tianle Gang......! It doesn't hurt for the interests of Pingzhou to be let out by our Tianle Gang......"
His words can be regarded as a kind of showdown, and he clearly said to Ye Wen: Our Tianle Gang now has a greater goal, and we can't be embarrassed by the Shushan faction for the time being, and we are even willing to make friends with you, if your Shushan faction promises not to make trouble for the Tianle Gang at this conference, they can appropriately give up the interests of Pingzhou and let the Shushan faction take over!
Ye Wen naturally heard the meaning, and in his heart, he was analyzing whether this matter was good or bad for the Shushan faction!
In fact, the so-called surrender of part of the interests of the Tianle Gang is nothing at all. Although the Tianle Gang and the Shushan Sect are both Jianghu sects, their survival forms are completely different.
The Shushan faction is closer to a local pillar industry, and its foundation and development forces are limited to a certain range, and the industries it operates are all related to making a living. Although it also has to make money, it is all incidental and not important. Everything is based on the survival and inheritance of the sect.
Tianle Gang is similar to a chain store, he takes profit as the fundamental purpose, and works hard to fight for benefits, in fact, it is all about making his industry more profitable, not for the inheritance of any sect.
At the same time, the biggest industry of the Tianle Gang is the sale of some groceries and entertainment venues such as the Qinglou Jiyuan, because the rudder is spread all over the place, which provides convenience for them to sell groceries, and he can buy a large number of local low-cost specialties in a certain place and then transport them to distant places to sell them at a high price, back and forth.
Qinglou is because this is an important entertainment project at this time, it is an excellent pastime for rich and noble families, and the imperial court is also forbidden, and the Tianle Gang, which has financial resources and power, will naturally participate. Although their industry has caused the Tianle Gang to be criticized by many big factions, at most they can say a few words, and they still make money very harpy.
There are other profitable businesses, but they are not as large as these two. Only from the analysis of these two important industries of Tianle Gang, as long as Tianle Gang still has a rudder in Pingzhou, then they can continue to purchase some special products in Pingzhou. As for the Qinglou, the sparse population of Pingzhou is destined to make the business of the Qinglou much worse than the other places, and only one or two of the best businesses need to be left, and the others are closed to save expenses.
Therefore, the Tianle Gang actually didn't lose anything at all, although it withdrew a lot of strength in performance, but the key thing was still rooted in Pingzhou.
In addition, if the Tianle Gang can really achieve their own goals, their development center will definitely be slightly adjusted and transferred to those more affluent places, and under the concentration of forces, some human and financial resources in Pingzhou will be transferred, so the so-called concession of interests is actually something that the Tianle Gang has to do.
"Hey, the old fox!"
Although he figured out the key, Ye Wen did not refuse. Because of this kind of thing, it is indeed beneficial to his Shushan faction and not harmful. Regardless of why the Tianle Gang drew strength, in short, his Shushan faction would gain more room for development because of this. And with one less strong enemy to watch, his Shushan faction can also live more comfortably and get a more relaxed development time.
Ye Wen smiled and said nothing, but Guo Nu was not so relaxed, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing how Ye Wen would reply. If it should be, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for the Tianle Gang, if Ye Wen indicates that he must compete with the Tianle Gang, his words will undoubtedly be leaked.
This move is really a bit dangerous, but if it can be done, it will definitely be a great benefit to the development of the gang, and Guo Nu also thought of this before he said these words. Fortunately, as the head of the four elders, he still has the right to be the master, and he is not worried about being blamed by the gang leader if things don't work out.
What made him depressed was that Ye Wen never made it clear whether he would agree or not! He originally wanted to use it as a rhetoric, so that the Shushan faction could temporarily form a short-term alliance with the Tianle Gang, but after all, it was not used.
This kind of thing dragged on and on, until it arrived at the foot of the North Sword Peak where the North Sword Gate was located, and there was no conviction.
"The bad news is that Ye Wen has never agreed to my proposal!" Guo Nu said self-deprecating after seeing Pei Wei: "The good news is that that guy didn't have an immediate showdown to split up with my Tianle Gang!"
Pei Wei was quite helpless, and only said, "Elder Guo, isn't this equivalent to not saying anything?"
Guo Nu shook his head: "No, this situation is a good thing for us, Ye Wen didn't turn his face directly, there is still room to turn around, I guess this person wants to observe the strength of our Tianle Gang, if he feels that he can't take it or needs to pay a huge price, he won't do it, keep a proper distance from my Tianle Gang, it's not friendly, but it won't be an enemy for the time being!"
Pei Wei thought about it, and finally thought of the key: "Is Elder Guo saying that the Shushan faction wants to retain its strength to deal with the Thunder Sword Sect?"
Guo Nu nodded: "Or it is more appropriate to deal with the Lei Jian Sect, then the Lei Jian Sect and the Shushan faction have already made a war against each other, but because this martial arts conference is about to be held, there is no direct fight, and Lei Zhenshan even directly released the words, to ask the hillbilly of the Shushan faction to pay for his son's life! The two of them are now in a non-ending situation, and we and the Shushan faction are just a small holiday!"
At this time, it happened that Hua Yi came in and said: "There will be a battle between the Shushan faction and the Lei Jianmen at this martial arts conference, why don't we wait for the Shushan faction to take the opportunity to eliminate them when they are exhausted?"
Guo Nu thought about it, and finally had to sigh and said: "The biggest enemy of our Tianle Gang this time is Dongfang Yi, the leader of the Blue Dragon Society, this person's kung fu is strong, and he is the number one in today's martial arts platoon......
Hua Yi pouted and said, "Isn't there still my master?"
Guo Nu scratched his head: "Although the Venerable Master is extremely proficient, he rarely makes a move, and this time I came mostly just in case, and I don't know if the Venerable Master will really take this matter!
Hua Yi didn't care, just turned her head and walked straight away: "When the master arrives, I will personally talk to her old man!" Before the words fell, they were gone.
It wasn't until she walked for a while that Pei Wei whispered, "I'm afraid Elder Hua's position is not guaranteed!"
"Huh?" Guo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Don't talk nonsense...... he didn't believe that Huayi's elder position couldn't sit down, even if she was a little nonsense. But she has always been like this, and she hasn't seen it before, why is she going to lose her position as an elder this time? What's more, her master, even the gang leader has to be a little jealous, who in the gang can move this proud woman of the sky?
Pei Wei lowered his voice and said: "It's not nonsense, the first two gang leaders have already had the chief helmsman brother come in advance to set up an outpost, and I learned from him that the gang leader and the woman surnamed Shen were quite dissatisfied with Elder Hua's unauthorized decision this time, although the woman surnamed Shen didn't say anything serious, but they all said that they couldn't bear Elder Hua's casual and reckless surname." ”
Guo Nu hurriedly stopped Pei Wei's words: "Don't mention this matter again, these things must be something you and I should worry about! Otherwise, ......" Otherwise, he didn't say anything, and he didn't need to elaborate on it. It's just that Guo Nu vaguely felt that the Tianle Gang seemed to have something big going to happen.
