Chapter 15:

Black and White

People in the Jianghu


The next day is the fourth day of May. There is an endless stream of pedestrians in the street, many of them are Wulin figures, moving slowly towards the "Danxin Stronghold".

Luo Tianqiu and the two are not in a hurry to go to "Danxin Stronghold". Wander around the east and the west, and go sightseeing all the way. It is not until after noon that you come to the "Danxin Stronghold".

At the gate of the village stood a group of tall men with swords and swords, with a heart embroidered on their chest. They checked the invitation cards of the visitors respectively. Although it was polite and considerate, it was also very serious.

When they came to the gate of the village, Luo Tianqiu was beating up and down with fifteen buckets of water in his heart. Li Dongping calmly took out two red posts from his arms and swaggered straight into them. Luo Tianqiu looked at his old brother and smiled. Li Dongping shrugged and said, "It's a small thing. My brother doesn't take it seriously!"

All the way, the road was paved with gravel, and at the end was a big lawn. There are stockade guards everywhere along the road, and there are many people in groups on the lawn. There are also many people sitting in the spacious main hall. Most of them are leaders of various sects or first-class experts. This "Danxin Stronghold" is a famous city in Wulin. Few people like Luo Tianqiu have ever come to "Danxin Stronghold".

Luo Tianqiu looked at the back of the main hall, and the eaves and ridges piled up. The houses in rows are no less than a town and a big stockade. Luo Tianqiu looked around curiously.

Eat noodles in the evening. In the middle of the main hall, a huge "longevity" character is folded into gold paper, and on both sides is a longevity couplet "Happiness is like the East China Sea, longevity is like the South Mountain". Said to be longevity noodles, it is actually a feast full of delicacies. Luo Jiang, the "Wonderful Man of Mountains and Rivers", sat in the middle of the table, his face white and smiling, toasted the guests.

Luo Tian Qiu looked carefully and found that there was a secret worry in his eyebrows, and his smile was also very unnatural. Sitting on the right side is a short old man with a long white eyebrow. The old man Baimei eats and drinks casually and is not easy to talk with others.

Looking at people occasionally, it is as sharp as electricity, like two sharp swords. It stabs people cold and chilly, and looks like no one else. It is very unpleasant to look at it with a commanding look!

"Where did the 'Wonderful Man of Mountains and Rivers' invite such a strange old man?" Everyone here was thinking secretly. Few people knew his true face. Luo Tianqiu and Li Dongping looked at each other tacitly, and they were secretly speculating.

"Strange! Is there anything strange about this birthday?" The two people ate the birthday noodles in a bored way. At night, sleep in the ordinary room set for ordinary people. Although it is an ordinary room, the windows are bright and clean, comfortable and pleasant; It is much better than the two people in the previous inn.

The night is extremely quiet. Occasionally, I heard a few bangs. After the fourth watch, there was a noise from time to time in the house, and the lightness skills were average. It was probably the soldiers patrolling in the air in the stronghold.

Suddenly I heard a faint sound like flowers and wind. I'm afraid that only Luo Tianqiu can feel that the other side is an expert with supreme lightness skills, and then go straight to the backyard. Luo Tianqiu wants to track and investigate. He thinks that he is a newcomer and is unfamiliar with his place. After an hour, the man turned back and ran out of the village. Pay close attention again, until dawn there is no wind or grass.

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. The weather is sunny and the clouds are floating in the air, as if watching all kinds of evil and good things in the world. The birthday party has already been arranged at the end of the day, and the seats are still in the same position as yesterday. All seats are longevity immortals. Strange Xia of mountains and rivers, Luo Jiang toasts frequently.

The chivalrous swordsman of mountains and rivers just smiles and raises a glass for entertainment, or that kind of unnatural smile. Luo Tianchou saw clearly, his face was pale and blue. Li Dongping gently scratched the word "poison" on his palm with his finger. Tianchou nodded and thought, "It seems that Luo Jiang has been kidnapped. I'm afraid there is a good show to see today."

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Jiang, the "Wonderful Man of Mountains and Rivers", suddenly stood up, glanced at the audience, and said aloud: "It's a great honor to be here today, because Luo Mou's birthday is so cheap."

Although his voice was loud, he was not angry. The whole audience stopped drinking and toasting and listened to him in silence. The people at the back of the table were still not clear. His voice was so dumb that everyone was surprised! Who doesn't know that Luojiang's "Soul Breaking Palm" is famous in the Jianghu, and "Mountain and River Magi" is worthy of its reputation. Why is it so bad today? If he was ill, there was never a rumour in the Jianghu, and he would not invite so many Wulin experts. In order to celebrate his birthday, everyone was puzzled.

Luo Jiang continued: "There are many talented people in the Wulin today. Let me take this opportunity to introduce them to you." After that, he raised his right hand and pointed to the skinny old man with white eyebrows who was sitting in danger. "This is the Taoist Chunfeng, who is the head of the four Dharma protectors of the 'Demon Sect'. The Dharma Protector Chunfeng is an expert who wants to meet Wulin experts of all sects in the Jianghu. He specially entrusted Luo to meet you at the Cheap Shou banquet to share his feelings!"

As soon as Luo Jiang said this, everyone cheered up. In the uproar, only one person was heard to say aloud, "The Devil Sect is the devil's left-wing way, and we are not allowed to talk about getting to know each other..." The word "know" has not been dropped, and everyone only heard "hiss" and "hiss". The sound of "hiss" is a dark shadow breaking the sky. The "click" sound is an object shot into the speaker. The strength was so strong that it made the person's eyes turn white. It was a meatball.

Luo Tianqiu could see clearly that it was the middle-aged man in white next to Taoist Chunfeng who sent his chopsticks forward, and his internal power was concentrated in it. The meatballs were like bullets and quickly shot into the speaker. "My 'Demon Sect' is a famous sect!" Taoist Chunfeng smiled slightly. "People in the Wulin, who dare not look at the 'Demon Sect' is to blame themselves. Just now, this friend, who spoke rudely, we just give him some color to see!" He said positively, "You probably don't understand the 'Demon Sect'? My 'Demon Sect' has always punished evil and promoted good, supported the same people as its purpose, and never killed innocent people indiscriminately. It is inevitable that we have few contacts with various sects in the Jianghu before and are misunderstood!"

"The words of the Spring Dharma Protector are not good!" The voice was not loud, and everyone here heard it clearly. It was obviously focused on Qi.

They looked up and saw that the speaker was Lin Xiaofeng, the eldest brother of Wudang Sect, who was only 30 years old, Looking at the Spring Wind Taoist priest, he said slowly and politely, "Is there any evil deed that can't be publicized in the Yanque Mountain Villa in southern Henan and Tongqingfeng in Kunyang? The Beggars' Sect, the Quanzhen Sect, the Qionglai Sect and the Huashan Sect are probably the great achievements of your sect in supporting our fellow disciples! Their leader either died under the sword of your sect or disappeared. Li Dongping, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, has not heard from us yet!"

He paused, glanced at the whole scene, and secretly raised his guard to prevent his opponent from playing tricks.

"When it comes to not killing innocent people indiscriminately, it is even more strange!" Lin Xiaofeng continued: "The majority of the more than 80 villages in Kunyang 'Tongqingfeng' are accounting clerks, old women and children, who are powerless. They are innocent people. How can they be killed if they don't stay? Can a sect with such a purpose be called a righteous sect?!"

The crowd began to shout again.

"Unbridled!" The middle-aged man in white stared and was about to attack. Taoist Chunfeng raised his hand to stop his attack. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng quietly and shook his head. "That's a rumor. Don't believe it!"

"Hey hey!" A sneer came from the west table. Wang Daojun, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, an old man in a gray robe and a red face, said, "The word 'gossip', I'm afraid that the Dharma Protector of Spring is going to cover up!" Everyone discussed, and the voice of "sigh" rose and fell one after another.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Chunfeng is still at a loss, and his determination is really admirable. He said calmly, "Headmaster Wang, is there any evidence?"

One sentence made everyone look at each other. You know, the "Demon Sect" never left a living mouth when committing crimes, which temporarily baffled everyone.

"The people in the world are in charge of the world's affairs!" When he spoke, the man stood up. He was a middle-aged man with five long whiskers and was the leader of the "Yellow River Double Monsters", "Dong Wuyi, the Dragon Monster". "Everyone spoke in unison, not talking about Zhang San or Li Si, but talking about your" Demon Cult "!? At this time, it is just a matter of speech. How easy it is to talk. Do you want to bother with sophistry here?!"

With a sneering look, he obviously disdains to talk with the people of the "Demon Sect". As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Xilianheng followed him out.

Many people followed Dongwuyi to stand up. At this time, there were two tall men with long swords and purple clothes by the gate. Everyone was drinking and talking just now. I didn't notice when the two men were standing by the door.

"Want to go!" Taoist Chunfeng laughed, "It's not so easy. It's too late to go!"

Lin Xiaofeng shouted angrily, "You want to hold us?" As he spoke, a long sword was already in his hand. "I want to see what means the 'Demon Sect' has to hold the heroes of the world!" Then he ran into the door.

"Slow down!" Taoist Chunfeng stood up and raised his hand.

Everyone here is a martial arts expert of all sects in the Jianghu. How can I swallow this. The heroes in the Jianghu say that "a man can be killed but not humiliated". The sword holder is on his neck and his face does not change color. What's more, we have to fight against the evil "evil cult" which is evil and perverse. How can we be moved by his words.

Take a closer look. No matter the number of people or the martial arts, you will not lose to your opponent. There are only eight or nine thieves of the "Demon Sect" with high martial arts. There are at least ten Wulin experts among hundreds of them. In this comparison, we naturally didn't pay attention to our opponents. Several people secretly laughed at the arrogance of the "Demon Sect" disciples.

At that moment, everyone stood up and listened to Wang Daojun, the leader of Quanzhen Sect, saying, "Please tell me how to compare the Dharma."

Taoist Chunfeng still looked as if he was not in a hurry. He stood up slowly, bowed and smiled around him.

"Everyone is on the lawn. One person wins two games in a row, and the loser can't play. If we count nine people, the winner will win five games, regardless of life or death!" In this way, we can avoid the wheel race in which more wins. However, the fact that the losers can no longer play is more or less detrimental to the "Demon Sect"; It is really puzzling that they dare to put forward such rules. Everyone wondered whether they were sure of winning, and whether everyone could beat others.

You should know that there are at least the leaders of Emei, Kunlun, Quanzhen and Qingcheng sects, and Shaolin Temple. Although the abbot has not come, the head of "Luohan Hall" is not comparable to the leaders of ordinary Wulin sects. Take these five people, and they are a sure bet. Although it is necessary to command properly, there is no doubt that the "Devil Sect" thieves will be defeated.

Everyone had this idea, so they walked to the lawn outside with confidence. As they walked and discussed, Cui Xiaoke, the leader of Emei Sect, and Wukong, the first Buddhist monk in the "Luohan Hall" of Shaolin Temple, were elected as the leaders.

When the heroes walked out of the gate, tables, chairs and benches had already been placed on the lawn, forming a big circle, and the gap in the middle was visible.

Several people of the "Demon Sect" sit on the left side of the circle, and all Wulin heroes sit on the right side of the circle, and Luojiang sits on the top by the door. Today, he is both the birthday star and the host, and naturally became the notary of the armed struggle.

We should have agreed on the personnel arrangement of the entry and exit sequence, but neither side knows the strength of the other side. When meeting the strong, meeting the weak depends entirely on personal opportunities. It doesn't matter if you come out first.

On the "Demon Sect" side, a middle-aged man in black came out first.

In the middle of the station, he bowed to the Wulin heroes and said, "I don't know who I would like to compete with."

Come out of the field. Jiang Hongfan, the "God Tracer Weng", belched before opening his mouth, and a breath of wine came out of his mouth, making people smell sick. "Shenxun Weng" obviously drank a lot today, and slowly said: "Jiang Hongfan, I drink too much. People call me" Shenxun Weng ". Can you name me?" Humane in black said: "I'm riding a horse in Sasha, the head of the 'Demon Cult' Yanming Hall."

Jiang Hongfan arched his hands and said, "Ah, please, Hall Leader!"

While talking, he pushed his hands forward and hit Sasha on horseback. Sasha rode calmly and dodged to the left to avoid the coming situation. With a handy move, "Jade Lady Chops the Snake", and uses the palm instead of the knife to cut down Jiang Hongfan's hands horizontally. Jiang Hongfan shrank his hands and rolled his body. He was at the side of Sasha's horse. With a move of "poisonous snake spits out the letter", he extended his fist to hit Sasha at the right side of his horse. The fist is powerful, and the fist brings wind. If you are hit, not only your ribs will be broken, but also your internal organs will be shocked by your fist.

Sasha jumped forward in a hurry when he knew this move was powerful. After returning, he also moved "the dragon wagging its tail". You come and I go, and in a twinkling of an eye, they split 20 moves.

All of a sudden, Jiang Hongfan made another hiccup, refreshed himself, and stepped up his hands to display all the subtle moves of the "Big Star Palm".

The characteristics of "Big Sky Star Divine Palm" are light and powerful moves. Each move is like a plum blossom. It keeps coming and going, and it is as fast as the wind. Every move is just and powerful. For a time, it was a failure to put Sasha on horseback in the shadow of his fist. Listen to the sound of "bang", and the "god trace weng" moves to "five Ding Kai Shan", and drives Sasha a foot away from the horse. Sasha covers his chest with both hands on the horse, and spits blood in his mouth.

Jiang Hongfan arched his hands and said, "Please!"

Everyone saw a flash of white light, and a man in white jumped out of the "Demon Sect". He is about thirty years old. He is beautiful and has a taste of talent. He clenched his fists at the "Shenzuoweng" and said, "Your" Big Star Palm "is really famous. Let me learn some moves."

The man in white broke Jiang Hongfan's martial arts moves as soon as he came up, which is enough to show his extraordinary martial arts attainments.

Jiang Hongfan was awestruck in his heart and knew that the newcomer was not weak. He immediately answered, "Who are you? Please give me a name to open up my eyes."

The man in white smiled coldly and said, "I'm Bai Kang, the leader of the Silver Swallow Hall. Please give me a move!"

When the word "move" exits, one move is "immortal offering fruit", and the two palms are handed out, that is, the palm is windy. Jiang Hongfan did not dare to neglect, but also took a move, "Boy worships Guanyin", to dismantle it.

Bai Kang's moves are extremely rapid. As soon as the two sides fight each other, they will attack fast and never relax. The extremely fast moves dazzled everyone. I only heard the wind blowing in the field, and the sand and rocks were flying away. The fight was dark and indissoluble. The two men fought more than 100 moves, and the result was always a tie.

Seeing the two men fighting more and more fiercely, suddenly, Bai Kang's left hand flashed, and his right hand moved to "break the Tianhe River". Someone called out "Wanxuesha Gong", and saw that Jiang Hongfan had both hands to protect his chest, and his feet faltered, and he really became a "god tracker".

Bai Kang's hands were red, and his "blood killing skill" was only two or three levels. He just cooperated with him, which had made Jiang Hongfan suffer a lot. Bai Kang immediately said: "offend!"

Jiang Hongfan only felt that his body was hot and dry, and his blood was surging. Luo Tianqiu rushed forward and gave him a "nine days clear machine treasure pill" and water to swallow, and let him sit down to regulate his breath. Luo Tianqiu sat beside him and put his hand on his vest to help him heal his wounds.

Jiang Hongfan only felt that his blood was surging and slowing down, his body was comfortable, and the heat and dryness subsided. After a moment, I felt my breath was peaceful, and continued to regulate my internal breathing. I knelt down and slowly used my skills to heal my wounds.
