Chapter 14: The Four Small Meetings of the Cold Moon Pavilion
The Cold Moon Pavilion is located in the center of Wuyang City, which is a scene in the city.
The pavilion is 100 feet high, straight to the clouds.
In the pavilion, you can see the scenery of the city.
In Wuyang City, the most heavily guarded place is not the Yamen of the General Military Mansion, nor the general altar of the four major gangs, but this Cold Moon Pavilion. Because this is the common place of discussion of the "Four Great Evils of Xiangxi", and it is a central place in the absolute sense.
The building itself of the Cold Moon Pavilion is not too high, only ten zhang, but it is built on a high platform of ninety zhang. Even if there is a master in the world, it is impossible for him to fly up from the stage. If you want to climb from the edge of the high platform, the hundred hidden weapon masters hidden in the pavilion will shoot together, and there is no reason for the offender to survive.
Therefore, the only way to enter the pavilion is the long stone staircase before the high platform.
There are a total of eighty-one traps on the stone steps, each of which can easily kill a person. The craftsmen who designed these traps left no room for intruders, and they didn't design the so-called door of life and death, and once the traps were activated, anywhere above the long stairs was dead.
If you want to enter the cabinet, you can only rely on the cold moon card. If the cold moon card is not shown, even if the heads of the four major gangs come here, the guardians will not hesitate to shut it down.
No fighting is allowed in the Cold Moon Pavilion, and there will be no forgiveness for those who violate it!
This is the rule set by the "Four Evils of Xiangxi". The cabinet is a place of discussion, not a place of killing, so no one can use force here. All the problems between the four major gangs must be solved in this Cold Moon Pavilion, and everyone who enters the cabinet has the right to speak, not because of how strong his martial arts are, but because he can represent one of the four major gangs.
Of course, not everything can be solved with the mouth alone. On the rivers and lakes, the principle that the strong is king is applicable everywhere. If it can't be resolved in the cabinet, there is a "war Guitai" behind the cabinet, and the two sides of the dispute can take the stage with swords and compete with each other to see whose fist is bigger!
On the Guitai platform, you can only compete skills, not beat.
At the end of the competition on the stage, one party admits defeat, and the other party is not allowed to hurt people again.
This is also the rule set by the "Four Evils of Xiangxi", and the violators will be punished by the four major gangs!
Since it is a competition, injuries are inevitable. But the damage of a few masters is much stronger than the fight of two gangs, after all, the loss of one or two masters is not too painful for a sect.
The people who competed in Guitai were all masters of the younger generation of the four major gangs, and the four major leaders had never fought each other for decades. The heads of the four major gangs are all martial arts masters, and they will not tear their faces for a trivial matter.
If it really comes to the time when the head of the sect has to take action in person, I'm afraid it won't be able to solve it in this Cold Moon Pavilion.
Thankfully, this has never happened so far.
In terms of the size of shili, among the "four evils of Xiangxi", the "Iron Sword Sect" should be the first. The "Iron Sword Sect" is a side branch of the Wudang faction, supported by one of the seven major sects in the Central Plains, and the "Iron Sword Sect" is a well-deserved boss in Wuyang City.
In second place is the "Monkey Gang", although the Monkey Shen family does not have a backstage like the Wudang faction, but they have lived in this Wuyang City for generations, and their roots are extremely deep.
After that, there was the "Heavenly Eagle Society", which monopolized all the private salt business in Xiangxi, with a lot of money and many disciples.
The "Evil Dog Gate" is ranked in Zuihou, as a new gang that has been based in Wuyang City for less than 20 years, whether it is the disciples of the sect or the assets of the sect, it is far inferior to the other three.
If you talk about the strength of the top masters in the four major gangs, the head of the "Iron Sword Sect", Ram Daoren, was born in Wudang, is good at using swordsmanship in the inner family, and is known as the first person in martial arts in Xiangxi. But even the Ram Tai, whose eyes are above the top, does not want to provoke Hua Tianxiong, the owner of the "Evil Dog Gate". What it means that Hei Fenglu was ranked fifty-sixth, others don't know, but the leaders of the four major gangs all know very well.
Sun Hanzhu, the "Eagle King" of the "Sky Eagle Club", has been famous for a long time, and not many people will doubt it when he ranks third.
On the contrary, the ancestor of the Shen family of the "Monkey Gang" was ranked last.
There weren't many times when the four heads came to this Cold Moon Pavilion. Except for the annual "Four Elders' Meeting", they will not come here easily at other times. And the solution to most of the day-to-day problems between the gangs can only be relied on by the principals in the second generation.
Therefore, the "Four Elders' Meeting" is held once a year, while the "Four Small Meetings" are held every ten days.
Gather every Saturday.
Today, the sixth day of the second lunar month, is the day when the "Four Small Meetings" are held.
When Hua Bushi came to the front of the Cold Moon Pavilion, it was almost noon.
Beside him was Yin Tianqiu, Hua Tianxiong's eldest disciple, and the nominal principal of the outer hall of the "Evil Dog Gate".
Hua Tianxiong had only taught Yin Tianqiu martial arts for three months, so he asked this big disciple to cultivate on his own. In the past three months, he has determined that Yin Tianqiu will not be able to inherit the inheritance of the "Spirit Dog Fighting Technique" of the Evil Dog Gate, and it will take Lang time to teach it again.
Yin Tianqiu has a rough personality and has a very good appetite for Hua Tianxiong. His temper is extremely hot, although his martial arts are not high, but once he makes a move, he is not afraid of death, even if his skills are much higher than his opponents, he will have a headache when he encounters him.
It's a lot like the style of the underworld characters.
Yin Tianqiu is a drunkard, and he will not get drunk after a drink. Fighting and drinking seem to be his greatest passions.
The only person who can keep him from fighting and drinking is Hua Bushi. Not only because Hua Bushi is the only son of the head of the family, but also because if there was no Hua Bushi, Yin Tianqiu might have died more than once.
This little junior brother would tell him every time where he could go and where not to go, where he could fight, and who he couldn't mess with. This allowed Yin Tianqiu to avoid a lot of dangers, and also secured the position of the head of the outer hall of the "Evil Dog Gate".
As a result, Yin Tianqiu was even more obedient to his junior brother. Even if Hua Tianxiong clearly said that Hua Bushi was not allowed to take care of the sect's affairs, Yin Tianqiu would still ask Hua Bushi how to deal with it.
In recent years, every time the "Four Small Meetings", as long as Hua Bushi is free, Yin Tianqiu will try his best to pull him to participate together.
But this time, it was Hua Bushi who found Yin Tianqiu by himself.
"Today's four hours, I'll go. Hua Bushi said this without explaining too much.
Yin Tianqiu didn't ask much, and pulled the little junior brother and went straight to the Cold Moon Pavilion.
In the Cold Moon Pavilion.
A seven-foot man sat cross-legged on the ground, his fingers were sealed in front of the dantian, his eyes were drooping, his breath was long, and he was practicing internal strength.
He is Qu Huze, the eldest disciple of the "Iron Sword Sect" Ram Tai. The "Xuantian Sword Technique" inherited by the "Iron Sword Sect" is an internal stunt that attaches great importance to qi training, and Qu Huze, who is a big disciple, seems to be practicing all the time all the time, and it is not for nothing that his martial arts rank first among the disciples in the sect.
In front of an Aoki coffee table against the wall, a young scholar was playing chess. He looked concerned, as if nothing could impress him except for the vertical and horizontal battle between black and white on the chessboard.
There is no opponent in this game, and his opponent is himself.
Sun Han, the head of the "Sky Eagle Club", is all good at calligraphy and painting, and he is a gentleman. His second son, Sun Ao, also likes the way of chess, which is quite a bit of a father's style.
In front of the window, a peerless beauty is caressing the strings, and the sound of the piano is crisp and pleasant.
The beautiful woman sat upright, wearing a snow-white long skirt reaching the ground, with a leisurely expression, just like a fairy descending to earth.
She is Shen Ying'er, the granddaughter of the ancestor of the Shen family of the "Monkey Gang".
These three people are the most outstanding young masters of the new generation of Xiangxi martial arts, and the daily leaders of the three major gangs.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Shen Ying'er had already stood up, and looked at the door with beautiful eyes.
Hua Bushi and Yin Tianqiu have entered side by side.
