68. Bishan Conference (2)

The enthronement of the new gang leader is the most solemn celebration in the gangs, and the senior disciples of each incense hall and each rudder in the gang are all present. The heroes of various sects and gangs in the Central Plains martial arts were also invited to watch the ceremony.

Qin Chuan was surrounded by a group of heroes in the middle, but when he saw the stage on and off the stage, before and after the slope, there were really a lot of men, women and children, and there were more than a thousand people, not to mention more than a thousand people.

The dozens of wooden sheds built by the Baixi Gang are really not small, accommodating more than 1,000 people, and they are still not crowded at all. Han Suo and Sang Qinghong commanded a group of male and female disciples to go back and forth, and the price of fruit and refreshments was sent up to entertain the guests, which was quite thoughtful.

It happened that the wind and the sun were beautiful, and there was no rainy weather of "rain in the Qingming season", and many people in the group moved the bench out of the wooden shed and sat outside the shed. At that time, the southeast wind was blowing, the warm breeze was blowing, the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, and everyone was in a very comfortable mood.

Elder Qu looked at the guests, frowned slightly, and whispered to Qin Chuan: "Helper, it's too early at noon at this moment, should we start early, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Elder Deng said on the side: "It's just that there are still some guests who haven't arrived yet, do you ...... it?" Before he could say anything, he suddenly saw Huang Bao and Niu Chao coming over quickly, each holding a congratulatory note and a gift list. Huang Baoyu said: "The master of the Shaolin Sect Lingji, the Wudang Sect Songwen Dao Chief, and the Great Wind Castle Xu Yuanbao Hero have come together to congratulate!" Qin Chuan was taken aback, and hurriedly led Elder Qu and the others to the front of the valley. I saw Lingji, Songwen, Xu Yuanbao and others each bringing their disciples to talk and laugh.

Qin Chuan bowed and saluted, and said, "With Master Lao and Dao Master, Qin Chuan is grateful. Monk Lingji said with a smile: "The young man is honored to be the leader of the hundred operas, which is the joy of the Central Plains martial arts." The abbot said that he should have come to congratulate him in person. It's just that there are sudden mundane fetters in the temple, and there is no way to separate them, so they specially entrust the old man to come, and the Qin gang leader should not be blamed. ”

Qin Chuan remembered Mu Qinglan's letter inferred by Yi Wanyu, and muttered in his heart: "Is it really difficult in Shaolin." Yes, it must be Senior Mu who is in the temple. The abbot of Lingdu is 'shackled by mundane affairs, and he can't be separated'?" but he replied: "Don't dare." ”

Songwen took Qin Chuan's hand and said with a smile: "The Qin gang leader Liangshan and Taishan fought in a row, defeated many masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in a row, and shocked the rivers and lakes. Now he is also the leader of the Hundred Opera Gang and the Beggar Gang, which is really gratifying!"

Qin Chuan saw that Songwen and Wudang looked as usual, obviously not disturbed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and his heart was slightly wider.

Songwen, Lingji and the others glanced at each other, and at the same time saw Elder Qu standing behind Qin Chuan, and immediately stepped forward to pay their respects. The name of "Nine Songs of the Yellow River" is very famous. It is one of the few seniors in the Central Plains martial arts. When his old man was crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, Songwen had not yet presided over Wudang, and Lingji was just an ordinary little novice in the Luohan Hall of Shaolin Temple.

The group of people present heard that the first Lingji Zen master of the Shaolin Sect Luohan Hall personally led eight disciples to the seat, and the Wudang Sect Songwen Dao Chief led the seven disciples to the throne in person, and they were all shocked.

Xu Yuanbao of Dafeng Castle, Qin Jiang of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, Qiu Dalun of the Beggar Gang, Tang Jian of Tangmen in Shuzhong, Tongxu of Taishan Sect, Deng Bufan of Tiechazhai and others each stepped forward to greet him. Everyone saw each other and admired each other, and it was indispensable to be polite.

The brothers Qin Chuan and Qin Jiang took the opportunity to pull Xu Yuanbao aside. asked about his parents and brother An Kang, whether the journey went smoothly, and whether he met Lu Qiuniang and Qin Hai.

Xu Yuanbao said that everything was fine in the Great Wind Castle, and the master and Gu Gang Master were still in retreat under the personal protection of Doctor Hu. sighed, and said: "I took the Yang Lin brothers to Luoyang, and I inquired all the way, but there was no news of Miss Lu. Shicai met Lu in the city and met friends from Shaolin and Wudang. So they rushed over together. Why, the second brother also went to find Miss Lu, why didn't your brother persuade him?"

Qin Jiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. As soon as he heard that Miss Lu was gone, he was so anxious that he left the dart game at that time, and he didn't listen to me and Brother Chuan at all. Senior Brother Xu, I see that the second brother has identified that Miss Lu this time! Alas, it's just that my father and eldest brother are afraid that it will be difficult to agree. ”

The three of them talked about homely things. Xu Yuanbao glanced around at the group of heroes in the valley and said, "Today is the big day of the little junior brother, let's talk about other things later!" After a pause, he said with a smile: "The little junior brother's face is big enough, and even the people from Shaolin, Wudang and other factions have arrived, except for the farther sects such as Emei, Diancang, and Hainan, all the gangs in the martial arts have arrived!"

Yi Wanyu pretended to be a male disciple of the Baixi Gang who accompanied Qin Chuan, and followed him silently. At this time, while everyone was not paying attention, he gently touched Qin Chuan with his elbow and made a look. Qin Chuan swept his eyes in the direction she indicated, but saw that Luo Rong Dawa and Tang Sanniang and his wife were also following the Tang Sect and mixed in the crowd.

Dawa and his wife came out of the crowd, came to Qin Chuan, clasped their fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Gang Leader Qin, congratulations!" Qin Chuan hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "The two seniors are already in good health?"

Tang Sanniang said: "It's already a lot! It's all thanks to your gang's elixir." He turned his head to look at Tang Jian not far away, smiled on his face, and said to Qin Chuan: "In the ghost mist forest that day, my wife and I were guilty of harm to Zun Driver, and they were offended. Unexpectedly, the Qin gang leader and gentleman did not remember the old evils and repaid their grievances with virtue. Tang Jian, the concubine's nephew, said, Dafeng Fort and my Tang Sect have a lot of friendship. In any case, this time my husband and wife survived safely from Man Tianyun's hands, and they were able to reunite with their aunts and nephews, all thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of respect. Qin gang leader, and be worshiped by the cheap concubine!" said Yingying and bowed down.

Qin Chuan hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, saying, "Aunt Tang San, everyone is a friend, why bother to be polite? Please get up, please get up!" Luo Rong Dawa bowed to Qin Chuan according to the Tibetan rules, bent down and said: "Qin Gang Master, thank you for your great kindness." In the future, I will be able to find my husband and wife, even if I am told!"

Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "Senior Dawa is serious! Everyone will be good friends in the future, and they should help each other!"

In the Valley of Hundred Flowers, the group of heroes was talking about themselves, and suddenly they heard a bang, and the sound of the horn and cannon sounded, and the auspicious time had come.

Elder Qu whispered a few words in Elder Wang's ear. Elder Wang immediately took a few disciples of the Baixi Gang to jump onto the high platform and persuaded some of the heroes who were playing and laughing on the stage.

The ceremony of the inauguration of the new leader of the Hundred Opera Gang was presided over by Elder Qu. In the sound of drums and cannons, Qin Chuan followed the elders to the high platform, and first burned incense and bowed to the tablets of the ancestors of the gang.

The elders, hall masters, and helmsmen of the Baixi Gang lined up in two rows and walked forward. First of all, Elder Qu, followed by Wu, Deng, and Wang, and then the four hall masters, and the most rearly are the rudder masters and deputy rudder masters. Everyone walked up to Qin Chuan and bowed.

Qin Chuan returned the salute.

Elder Qu held the "Fish Intestine Sword". Elder Wu holds the "Secret Guide to a Hundred Operas". The two came to Qin Chuan, took a deep look, and bowed down to present it.

Elder Qu looked solemn and said, "The Hundred Opera Gang was founded on the eighth day of the ninth month of the third year of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and has been passed down for twenty-one generations so far. This 'fish intestine sword' is the ancestor of the gang of the Western Han Dynasty Yulongzi master handed down, this 'hundred opera secrets' is the sixteenth generation of the gang gang leader Gongsun Auntie wrote, this book and a sword, according to the routine to the gang leader to take over. The twenty-second generation of the new gang leader Qin Chuan, please accept it!"

As he spoke, the two of them bowed down and handed over a book and a sword.

Qin Chuan responded: "Yes." Respectfully stretched out his hand and took it.

Elder Wang immediately unfolded a scroll and loudly announced the sixteen gang rules of his gang.

Qin Chuan stood solemnly. Listen quietly. Although the rules of the Baixi Gang are slightly different from most martial arts sects, the main purpose is still to be chivalrous and righteous. When Qin Chuan heard rules such as friendship and mutual assistance, eliminating evil for good, being upright, and being loyal to his own gang, his eyes naturally looked at the heroes of the Baiju Gang, and said in his heart: "As long as I do the leader of the Baiju Gang for a day, I will be loyal and dutiful for one day, and I will never live up to the brothers of the whole gang!"

After Elder Wang finished reading it, Qin Chuan took the "Secret Guide of a Hundred Operas" into his arms, and raised the fish intestine sword above the top with both hands. turned around and faced the heroes of the Baiju Gang under the first stage in the east.

Suddenly, hundreds of disciples of the Baiju Gang on and off the stage, descending from Elder Qu, knelt down and bowed down together. The cheers were thunderous, and he shouted loudly: "Acting chivalrous and righteous, the four seas are free! Disciples, see the master of the gang!"

Qin Chuan returned the salute. Lang Sheng said: "Chivalrous and righteous, the four seas are free! Brothers, please get up!" The Baixi Gang thanked the gang leader, and then stood up.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly to Elder Qu. Inserted the fish intestine sword in his waist, walked straight to the stage, bowed down and hugged his fists, saluted everyone on the high platform, and said loudly: "The former gang leader of the Baixi Gang, the old gang leader of Baili, was plotted by traitors and unfortunately returned to heaven. Qin Chuan adhered to the dying will of the old gang leader of Baili and took over the position of the leader of the Baixi gang. Inheriting all the seniors and friends who will not give up, they will come here, and the Baiju Gang will be honored and favored together, and I am very grateful!"

As he spoke, he couldn't stop clasping his fists to thank the people who came to congratulate him. Everyone in the audience immediately applauded and applauded.

At this point, the ceremony of the new gang leader taking over was completed.

Before Elder Qu, Qin Jiang, Yi Wanyu and others entered the valley, they were worried that the enemy would suddenly come out to stir up the situation, so they had already set up patrols around the valley, and all the important places were personally guarded by Zeng Ming, Liu Chengfeng, Qu Chengfang and others. Seeing Qin Chuan walking slowly after the ceremony, they all sighed, and they were all relieved.

Seeing that the time was not early, Han Suo asked Qin Chuan and Elder Qu for instructions, and immediately led a group of disciples of the Baixi Gang to send the wine and food prepared in advance to the various large wooden sheds. The table and stools in the shed are complete, and teapots, wine glasses, fruit saucers and other items have already been placed on the table in advance.

The group of heroes sat down, or a table for eight people, or a table for ten people, calling friends, shouting five and drinking, and in this suburban place, in the wooden shed, they ate and drank.

It is said that most of the people who came to He before were famous celebrities in the martial arts, and they should have held a banquet in Luoyang City to entertain them. But everyone knows that this is the practice of the successive gang leaders of the Hundred Opera Gang when they take over, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, so Xun is like this, so naturally they don't care.

At this conference, the Baixi Gang was quite well prepared, although it was in the wilderness of the valley, the banquet was not weaker than that of the restaurant. As for a few monks such as Shaolin monks, they have their own first-class vegetarian entertainment.

Before and after the Qingming Festival, it is a good time for spring outings and outings. Many of the people muttered in their hearts, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, in the deep valley and wilderness, there is another fun to gather and feast. Some people can't help but discuss, the previous gang leaders of the Hundred Opera Gang also know how to enjoy it, and they are all elegant people.

The leader of the Baiju Gang accompanied the gang leader to toast the guests in each wooden shed in turn. Since Qin Chuan had other important matters in the afternoon, the elders would not let this gang leader who had a very shallow amount of alcohol really get drunk, so most of the wine was drunk by Zhao Jin, Han Suo and others.

After drinking and eating, according to the rules of the Baiju Gang, the new gang leader accepts the challenge.

But when he saw the figure flickering, one person jumped onto the stage, it was Elder Wu.

Elder Wu clasped his fists and saluted the group of heroes in the audience, and said loudly: "All good friends in the martial arts, today is a good day for the new gang leader of the Baixi Gang to take over. According to the usual practice of our gang, the head of the new gang must have a 'street show' in front of all the brothers of the gang, practice their skills, and accept all kinds of battles inside and outside the gang. Let's wait and see!"

After speaking, he saluted the audience with a fist, and then bowed his hand to Qin Chuan, who was quietly standing in the corner, and said with a smile: "Gang leader, this gang is like this, and my subordinates have sued me first!"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and nodded to Niu Chao on the side. Niu Chao immediately took a Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Knife from the weapon rack and bowed down to present it.

Qin Chuan took off his robe, threw it on the edge of the weapon rack, took the big knife in his hand, imitated Guan Gong's posture, and stood the blade behind him.

At this time, Qin Chuan was wearing a cyan short fight, strode into the high platform, brushed a sound, danced a big knife flower, and shouted to everyone in the audience: "It is difficult to sell art in the rivers and lakes, just to beg for money to eat!

Yi Wanyu couldn't help but laugh when she was listening, smiled, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. These four lines of poetry are not like poems, and songs are not like songs, but they are Qin Chuan in a hurry and learned them from Zhao Jin, Huang Bao and others.

After Qin Chuan finished reading the nondescript four limerick poems, he heard the laughter in the audience, looked at the disciples of the Baiju Gang, and thought: "Ping's wandering, street performers, sleeping in the open, suffering from white eyes and bullying, the life of the tens of thousands of disciples of the Baiju Gang is actually far from being as glamorous as in the eyes of everyone! I, as the leader of the gang, must not fail the brothers in the gang." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard someone in the audience shouting: "Gang Master Qin, why don't you just talk about it?

Qin Chuan laughed, and immediately showed his figure, but he danced a big knife with a whirring sound, and the sound was terrifying.

This set of knife techniques is naturally learned from Niu Chao. With Qin Chuan's martial arts cultivation at the moment, he saw that this set of knife techniques was acceptable for street art, but it was just an embroidered pillow, and it was nothing to show for it. In the eyes of the layman, he saw the shadow of the knife flying, and the long knife danced like a snowflake, rolling forward, murderous, and it was very good-looking. In fact, it is full of flaws, and it is useless, even if you meet a second- or third-rate practitioner, if you really put it right, you are bound to lose.

He honestly followed the rules, first practiced a set of knife techniques, and then played a set of long punches. From time to time, bursts of laughter and cheers came from the audience.

The last is a set of "chest broken stones", but this kung fu is passed down by Elder Wu himself.

When Qin Chuan was lying on the stage naked, pressed against his chest by the big boulder brought by Huang Bao and others, Yi Wanyu suddenly shuddered, and her heart became inexplicably worried. She approached him, bent her head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chuan, you have never practiced this kind of kung fu, and it is too dangerous to do this now, otherwise you will change to 'walking rope' and 'seeking the rope', you are so good at light skills, and you will not fall and get injured!"

Qin Chuan said: "No need! Since this gang has this rule, as the leader of the gang, I should take the lead in implementing it, how can I easily make an exception?" Seeing that Yi Wanyu's eyes were full of concern, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Wu has taught me for so long, no matter how stupid and stupid I am, I won't be hurt by a single stone!" Not to mention that Big Brother Niu will pick up the hammer, aren't you at ease?"

Yi Wanyu thought that Niu Chao was a talent recommended by herself and Zhao Jin to join the Baiju Gang, and she has been diligent and helpful these days, and she has even been praised by the gang. So he sighed, straightened up, nodded to Niu Chao, and said, "Let's do it!" and slowly retreated to the side.

All of a sudden, the crows were silent, the mountain wind blew their clothes, the hunting sounded, and many eyes in the Valley of Hundred Flowers gathered on Niu Chao and Qin Chuan.

Everyone watched, but saw Niu Chao slowly pick up the big hammer and hold it high above the top. A hideous look suddenly appeared on his black face, he smiled coldly, snorted, and suddenly smashed towards the door of Qin Chuan! (To be continued......)
