18. Harmony of clear sounds
Jiang Long Gang and the Liu brothers met, Liu Dahai saw that there were old and young in this group of people, and the lineup was messy, so he was even more relieved, and said with a smile: "Without further ado, let's set off immediately, and the sword envoy said that the conference will be held under the blood cedar tree, we are not familiar with the road, and we also ask Brother Yin to lead the way." ”
Goshawk said, "It's a small thing. "Set off now, go over the mountains and forests, and walk into the wilderness.
This blood fir forest stretches for hundreds of miles, claiming to have fifty-eight square villages, the villages are both estranged from each other, and communicate with each other, although there are contacts between each other, Yin Tiehao has never been to all, just hearsay, knowing that some villages are hidden in the maple leaves of the red forest, and its villagers behave strangely, not very easy to deal with, this blood fir tree is regarded as a sacred place by many villages, the place where the ancestors appeared, many villages are in awe of it, and now the Divine Sword Sect gathers under this blood fir tree, I am afraid that it will cause disputes.
Liu Erhai said: "There are countless masters of the Divine Sword Sect, how can you be afraid of the wilderness villagers? If someone really comes to make trouble, let's salute first and then soldier, and we can't let people bargain." ”
Yin Tiehao asked: "Uncle Kui, you are from Duluo Village, do you know if there are any reclusive masters in the rest of the villages?"
Old man Kui shook his head again and again: "It is said that among the fifty-eight square villages, there is a village that is extremely mysterious, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit when they are idle, I have lived in my hometown for more than 20 years, and I only know that this village is called 'Red Water Stone', and I know the direction, but I have never been there." Back then, the 58 square village had a conflict with this Hongshuishi village for the matter of fighting for the ancestral tomb, and was beaten to the ground, and no one dared to provoke them again. Alas, I have been away from home for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is in the villages. ”
Liu Dahai heard that these countrymen only talked about the fight of foolish people in the countryside, and he was even more disdainful in his heart, except for the goshawk, he did not talk to others. However, there are many young children in his family, seeing Xiang'ersheng's beauty, they stepped forward and had nothing to say, and they were quite flattering in their words.
The door rules of Greenwillow Villa are strict. The disciples are not allowed to have frivolous behavior, let alone be jealous, because the children are a little restrained, but the greed in their eyes is urgent, and everyone can see it. Xiang'er is bold by nature, likes to make friends, speaks cordially to everyone, and talks happily, and the children are even more itchy and ready to move. It's just that because of the door rules, it is inconvenient, otherwise it would have been ugly and would have been exposed, and even servile and subservient.
Everyone walked all the way into the dense forest, the red leaves in the forest, the bark of the trees was black, and under the starlight, it looked a little gloomy. And the sunrise in the morning is beautiful. After walking for two days and two nights, bypassing ten villages, I did not encounter any trouble. On the evening of the third day, I finally passed through the forest, and there was a large meadow and a towering tree in front of meadow. The trees are full of red leaves, like a big torch that reaches to the sky.
The meadow is set in the east and a group in the west. There were many martial arts high-rollers sitting, and the goshawk saw that most of them were in the doorway: those with swords sat outside, when they were knights of various sword sects, and those who did not hold swords sat in the inner circle, which was the martial arts elders invited by the Divine Sword Sect to witness. About thirty people from the Divine Sword Sect came, forming a circle under the blood cedar tree, and Yonghong and the other three elders sat cross-legged, and there were five swordsmen, all over fifty years old, sitting in front of the three elders of Yonghong.
In the circle of the three elders, there was another person sitting under the tree, with a delicate appearance, between thirty and forty years old, wearing a luxurious Taoist robe, and he also looked unfathomable, and he should be the sect master of the Divine Sword Sect. Except for these nine people, the rest of the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were busy arranging guest seats, and they all seemed to be extremely capable.
A disciple walked up to him and asked, "I don't know where these heroes come from?"
Liu Dahai arched his hand and said: "Liu Dahai and Liu Erhai of the Green Branch Villa, in collaboration with their disciples, are here to attend the meeting at the behest of the envoy. ”
The disciple said happily: "It turned out to be Liu's senior, it was really like thunder, and I have admired it for a long time, please come with me." "Lead the people through the crowd and sit down in the inner circle.
Liu Dahai saw Zunying sitting under the tree, closed his eyes and recuperated, and said to him: "Little brother, when Zunying Sword Envoy had a life-saving grace for my two brothers, can you inform him and let us go to meet his old man?"
The disciple said, "Do you want to see Master Zunying?" He is now sensing the demonic energy around him, so he should not be distracted, and please bear with the seniors. Then he bowed, and went to greet the others.
Goshawk was secretly amused, thinking: "Although this disciple's words are polite, but in fact, he didn't take your brother in his eyes at all, that Zun Ying is only afraid that he is even more arrogant, and he is too lazy to meet in person, these two brothers of the Liu family, this time they have a hot face and a cold buttocks, and they make a shit." ”
Liu Erhai really lost face, gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, they are so rude! They seem to look down on us, so many of us have come from afar, not to mention the seats, not even the tea and snacks." ”
Liu Dahai sighed: "Isn't it ordinary to save your life? Let's do Zun Ying Sword a favor, but next time we don't owe each other, and no one cares about anyone." Their Divine Sword Sect dominates the world, and they can't look down on our small sects. It turned out that he was even more angry in his heart, and he was a little neglected, and he lost face in front of everyone in the Jianglong Gang, so he already had the heart to cut off his robe and break his righteousness.
Seeing that no one was in charge, the goshawk looked around, looked around, and recognized many famous and decent masters, and saw that there were monks from the Shaolin faction, monks from Wutai Mountain, monks from Mount Emei, and monks from Putuo Mountain, each leading more than ten people, and they were quite close to each other, with an indifferent expression. On the opposite side of them were the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, Huashan, Lushan, Yandang Mountain, and Fahua Mountain, looking at the monks, each on guard. Now that Buddhism is prosperous, Taoists are being excluded, and many Taoist priests are naturally dissatisfied.
In the outer circle, it is full of famous sword faction sword villages, including Qingcheng faction, Jinhua sword village, hidden sword faction, Jiuhua Sword Valley, eight-character thunder sword faction, Jiutianyou sword faction, etc., each full of pomp, excited, and quite eager for today's gathering.
Goshawk took advantage of the firelight to see a young swordsman in Jinhua Sword Village talking to an old man, and the young swordsman asked, "Grandpa, is the Divine Sword Sect really going to select talents from among our many people in today's Sword Melting Conference and include them in the Divine Sword Sect?"
The old man patted the young man on the shoulder and said warmly: "How many times have I told you, why do you still come to ask me? But you are too excited, do you want to talk to grandpa? Yes, yes, all the sword factions in our Divine Sword Alliance, every few years, will receive a letter from the Divine Sword Sect, asking us to select elites, send materials that can be made, and send them to the Divine Sword Sect to practice advanced swordsmanship, exquisite internal strength, and it is said that there are even immortal methods to slay demons and eliminate demons. ”
The young man's body trembled with excitement, and he asked again: "Grandpa, in our Jinhua Sword Village, has there ever been a good hand in the Divine Sword Sect?"
With tears in his eyes, the old man pointed to a tall old man among the five people under the tree, and said loudly, "That sword envoy is my junior brother. Back then, we participated in the trial of the Divine Sword Sect, and I returned home, but he even survived the difficulties and succeeded in one fell swoop, and now he is one of the several great sword envoys of the Divine Sword Sect, it is said that his martial arts are unfathomable, far better than the people in the rivers and lakes today, and he is the four masters who were famous in the past, and he may not be able to defeat him. ”
Goshawk said in his heart: "Boasting, don't be ashamed, these big swords make kung fu no matter how strong, they can't compare to those three hundred-year-old monsters, I'm afraid that they are still inferior to the antler king, if I have a chance today, I will definitely find someone to fight." Although he thought so in his heart, he knew that now that there were many masters gathered next to the blood fir tree, he must not make a move, and it would cause a big deal and affect everyone in the snow.
The young swordsman was greatly encouraged and asked, "Grandpa, do you think that my Jin Yunbu can be sure to be selected this time?"
The old man said with a smile: "I naturally hope that you can be chosen, after Senior Brother Yuye entered the Divine Sword Sect, our Jinhua Sword Village can really receive a lot of benefits, and the reward is countless every year, needless to mention, if you encounter a tricky enemy on the rivers and lakes, tell the Divine Sword Sect, and most of them will send someone to cook for us." We have such a big backer, so we are naturally safe and stable, and the wind and water are smooth. But Senior Brother Erye is a talent that we have encountered once in decades in our mountain villa, Bu'er, although your talent is outstanding, but it is not as good as Senior Brother Erye, today's conference, most of them are still the leader of the Fairy Sword Sect. ”
Jin Yunbu said in a daze: "Immortal Sword Sect, Immortal Sword Sect, I heard that the Divine Sword Sect is quite jealous of the Immortal Sword Sect, and I suspect that it is disobedient and disobedient." He is a few great sword envoys of the Divine Sword Sect, who were born in the Immortal Sword Sect, but I am afraid that more than half of them will be arrogant and domineering, hmph, don't provoke the rest of our Sword Alliance's allies to hate the enemy and embarrass them. ”
The old man's face changed, he lowered his voice, and asked, "Where did you hear these words?"
Jin Yun preached: "Grandpa, don't hide it from me, last time Grandpa Qi of Jiuhua Sword Valley came to our Sword Village as a guest, and I can hear you clearly when you two talk." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "You kid, why are you so reckless? The Immortal Sword Sect is powerful, our Jinhua is weak, and Lao Qi and I have a few words of complaint behind our backs, and we must not take it seriously." ”
Jin Yunbu closed his mouth, was silent for a moment, and said: "Their Immortal Sword Sect is so rude, I see that the rest of the Sword Alliance people have all arrived, and even the seniors who came to be witnesses are almost here, but their Immortal Sword Sect has not been here for a long time, hum, compare my heart to my heart, if I am a member of the Divine Sword Sect, I will naturally be very dissatisfied with the Immortal Sword Sect." ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "That's a good thing, but the Immortal Sword Sect is far away from this Blood Cedar Forest, and it is highly valued by the imperial court, so if there is a slight delay, it will be late." The Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect has a good relationship with the Master of the Sect of Escape, so he may not really be surprised. ”
Jin Yunbu asked again, "Grandpa, why did the Divine Sword Sect choose this place of poor mountains and bad waters to hold this sword melting conference?
The old man sighed and said: "The founding purpose of the Divine Sword Sect is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, they must have noticed that there are signs of demons here, so they came here in a big way, and they should use the righteousness of the sword to suppress the evil demons here, so that they will be terrified and will never recover." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone whisper a few words, his tone was hurried, both a little awe-inspiring, and really surprised, and the person who heard the words immediately quieted down, as if these words were extremely effective, and people couldn't help but feel respect.
In the silence, I saw more than 20 people walking out of the forest, the first one of them looked out of the world, it was the head of the Immortal Sword Sect, and behind him, followed by the three masters of Wind, Shower, and Tenglong, and there were ten Ziwei Fairies and ten Yang Sword Immortals. When the Divine Sword Sect and the others saw the people of the Immortal Sword Sect, their expressions were solemn, which was very different from how they treated the rest of the people.
The Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, the three elders, and the five Great Sword Envoys present opened their eyes at the same time and got up, and the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect said loudly: "Away from the child, since you have appeared, then our Sword Melting Conference can begin." (To be continued.) )
