Chapter 66 Dragon Gate Conference (The third chapter, thanks for subscribing)

Time is never remembered for monks who are dedicated to pure cultivation. On this day, Zheng Gui had just helped Master Qinghe, who was in charge of the vegetable garden, water the manure, and when he returned to the wing room, he was washing his hands. Glancing at a few young monks who were sitting in a corner of the wing with Buddhist scriptures on their backs, he took out an invitation card.

"Master, this is an invitation sent by Wang Yuanba. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. His old man invites you to go to the Longmen Grottoes to have a banquet tomorrow."

Zheng Guizhanxin took a few glances, and then said with a smile: "The Wang family is indeed the local snake in Luoyang. We have lived in the White Horse Temple for more than ten days, and he knows it."

Yiguang smiled and said: "Although the White Horse Temple does not participate in martial arts affairs, there are countless pilgrims every day. We place orders here and have not changed our appearance. If the Wang family didn't know about it, wouldn't it be a waste of reputation?"

"That's right."

Zheng Gui got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said, "Let's say goodbye to Zen Master Jingneng, and we will go to Longmen Grottoes for a banquet tomorrow morning."

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sun had just risen, and several carriages creaked from the Yichuan River to the Yique Longmen in front of the Xishan Grottoes in Luoyang.

Go south from here for a mile and you will find the statues in the grottoes. According to legend, the largest statue of Lusana Buddha was carved based on the face of Empress Wu Zetian. For thousands of years, there have been many scholars and pilgrims here. Believers come to worship.

Although it was early in the morning, a man had already picked up a basket of melons and fruits to enjoy the shade under a big pine tree not far away, obviously waiting for tourists to come and sell them to make money.

The carriage stopped in front of Shanyin in front of the Xishan Grottoes. Wang Yuanba and his son got out of the carriage accompanied by two old people. Several carriages got off more than a dozen Golden Knife Sect disciples and a dozen male disciples in different attires. .

At Wang Yuanba's order, these disciples moved the tables, chairs, benches, tea sets and wine jars out of the car, and set up three large tables in the open space, with candied fruit, dried fruit, snacks, etc. In the middle, there are two jars of wine that have not yet been opened.

Wang Yuanba accompanied the two old men sitting at the big table in the center with their eyes closed and meditating, still rubbing two golden eggs in their right hands. Brothers Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang led their disciples to start clearing the venue. Not only did they not need tourists, they even sold them The melon dealers also gave some money and drove them out.

After a while, Wang Zhongqiang came over accompanied by an old man with short beard who was wearing coarse cloth clothes. Behind the old man were twenty or thirty strong men. Judging from the thick joints in their hands, it was obvious that they were all masters of foreign martial arts.

"Daddy, Senior Zhang from the Beggar Gang has arrived."

Wang Yuanba opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, Brother Xia, Brother Zhang Jin'ao is the deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan, with a distinguished status, shall we welcome them together?"

Sitting on either side of Wang Yuanba was his in-law, Mo Xing, the head of the Bagua Sect in Zhengzhou, and the other old man was Xia Zhengming, the head of Liuhequan.

These two people were relatives with Wang Yuanba, or they had an irreversible relationship, and they came here to advance and retreat with the Wang family, and they were considered half masters at this meeting, and upon hearing this, they all stood up and said, "That's exactly how it should be."

The three of them greeted back Jin Ao, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan, and before they were seated, they heard a report from their disciples: "Master, the great yin and yang hand musician of the Songshan School has arrived."

Ever since Zuo Lengchan became the head of the Songshan School, it first won the position of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, and then led Songshan to do many great things. A deadly elder master, Zuo Lengchan's status in the martial arts has been getting higher and higher in recent years, faintly able to keep pace with Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu.

As the tide goes up and down, the status of other members of the Songshan School will naturally become higher and higher.

Le Hou is the fifth junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, and also the fourth one of the Thirteen Taibaos. He is short and fat, with a sick face and small and fat hands, but he has the title of "big yin and yang hands", which shows that he More than [-]% of his ability is in the hands of a pair of meat.

Wang Yuanba and the others welcomed Le Hou back and talked with him while laughing.

It was Chen Shi, the temperature was rising, and the fog above Yichuan was gradually dissipating. Wang Yuanba saw Beggars' Gang, Songshan, Liuhequan, and Baguadao. Although not all the gang members invited came, But it is expected that with Deputy Gang Leader Zhang and Le Hou around, the qualitative monk has to give some face.

Just when Wang Yuanba was secretly planning, Wang Zhongqiang ran over happily and shouted: "Father, Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple is here!"

"What? Senior Fang Sheng has arrived. How about you all come along with me?"

Le Hou nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

Master Fang Sheng is a well-known eminent monk among the generation of disciples of Shaolin Temple. He is the younger brother of Master Fang Zheng, the presiding officer of Shaolin. In the past three to forty years, he has often traveled around and done many chivalrous deeds. He has always been admired in the martial arts world.

Le Hou and Zhang Jin'ao were reluctant to come here. One was because it was related to the Hengshan faction. The Songshan faction was the head of the Central Plains martial arts and belonged to the Five Sacred Sword Sect with Hengshan. A lot of money is not good.

At this time, when they heard that the Golden Knife Sect even invited Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin, the two of them were shocked, and they couldn't help giving Wang Yuanba a high look.

Wang Yuanba's brows were beaming with joy, and his steps became lighter and lighter. After a while, the crowd followed an old monk with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he came back. It was Master Fang Sheng, an eminent Shaolin monk.

Le Hou, Zhang Jinao and Master Fang Sheng chatted and laughed freely, while Wang Yuanba expressed his thanks repeatedly.

Everyone returned to the banquet and took their seats. Master Fang Sheng looked around and asked, "Mr. Wang, why haven't you seen Zen Master Hengshan?"

Wang Yuanba smiled lightly and said, "Chan Master Ding Xing has recently practiced in the White Horse Temple, so he must come to meet the appointment."

Mo Xing, the sect master of the Eight Diagrams Knife, was injured a lot by the mighty bodyguards because of his disciples. He hated the Hengshan faction the most in his heart, and said with a sneer, "It must be because he doesn't like us, so let's put on a show..."

Le Hou and Zhang Jin'ao frowned when they heard the words. Although they were a little dissatisfied with Hengshan's characterization, they even disliked Mo Xing's pettiness.

Master Fang Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this here?"

Everyone's heart moved, and Le Hou's expression changed immediately, and then everyone heard the sound of knocking wooden fish, followed the sound and saw two young monks walking slowly.

The monk in front of him was tall and burly, and he seemed to be in his 30s. Zhang Jinao looked very familiar to him, and remembered that he had seen him at Jianxing Peak in Hengshan more than ten years ago.

The monk behind was younger and thinner. He held a wooden fish in both hands and took a few steps to knock on it. After seven or eight sounds of the wooden fish, the two monks came to the crowd.

"Poor monk, this is my disciple Yiguang, I have met Deputy Chief Zhang, this is Senior Brother Lehou from Songshan, right?
This must be the invincible Mr. Wang...

This is the eminent monk from Shaolin Temple..."

Zheng Gui clasped his hands together, scanned the faces of the crowd, and called out four or five people's names. If anyone was in doubt, he could guess the faction.

Zhang Jinao was much older than ten years ago. He laughed and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Zen master Dingxing has become a high-ranking monk. It's really gratifying. You hurt my gang in Fuzhou six years ago." Brother, today, Lao Zhang, I still want to ask you why."

Zheng Gui's heart sank, and he thought: Qinglian envoy is said to be Xie Feng's illegitimate son, could it be that Zhang Jin'ao came to help Wang Yuanba to seek my bad luck and avenge Qinglian envoy?

Wang Yuanba took a step forward and said: "Chan Master Determination has rarely appeared in the Jianghu in recent years, but he can recognize the old man, which is really admirable. This is Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple. You are all eminent Buddhist monks. You should say Speaking of Buddhism, this is Mo Xing, the head of Zhengzhou Bagua Daomen, and this is Master Xia, the head of Liuhe Boxing..."

Wang Yuanba introduced everyone to Zheng Gui one by one, and Zheng Gui politely bowed his hands together, and then asked Yiguang to kowtow on his knees to pay respects to the seniors, and when the ceremony was over, everyone sat down politely.

Master Fang Sheng was the oldest in terms of age and status, and after giving way, he was still the head seat at the central table. Zhang Jinao, Le Hou, Wang Yuanba, Mo Xing, Xia Zhengming, and Zheng Gui sat on the left and right sides in turn. In front of the wine table were disciples from various sects, and Yiguang was accompanied by brothers Wang Zhongqiang and Wang Bofen.

After everyone sat upright, Wang Yuanba stood up and explained the grievances and grievances between Jindaomen, Baguadaomen and Weiwu Escort in detail from beginning to end.

Zheng Gui listened for a while, saw that what Wang Yuanba said was fair, so he didn't interrupt him.

After Wang Yuanba finished speaking, Mo Xing slapped the table, and said indignantly: "The Mighty Escort Bureau relied on being disciples of the Hengshan School to run rampant in our Central Plains Wulin and wounded seven or eight disciples of my Bagua Daomen. The eldest brother can't see the past, so he stands up for our Central Plains martial arts.

Hey, in the end Zen Master Dingxing sent this monk Yiguang to injure the two nephews of the Wang family, Bo Fen and Zhong Qiang, please raise your hands to show the seniors..."

Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang lifted up their sleeves, revealing their wrists that were still wrapped. Seeing that Monk Yiguang's face remained unchanged, everyone knew that what Mo Xing said was true.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yiguang snorted coldly and said, "Why, Mr. Mo, you are Wang Bofen's father-in-law, so you are protecting yourself?

The five juniors of my Mighty Escort were seriously injured by you, and I don't know if they will be disabled. Your Wang family will always give an explanation on this matter! "

Mo Xing was furious, got up and said: "What do you want to say!
Didn't you already hurt someone, do you still want to kill someone? "

Yi Guang pouted, and said: "The Wang family's affairs are overdone, and I have to make amends to the juniors of the Mighty Escort Bureau, draw a line, so that the heroes of the world will not underestimate my Baozhu Temple, thinking that our disciples of the Five Sacred Sword Sect are actually It’s not as good as the Golden Knife Gate!”

Hearing that Yiguang pulled out the Five Sacred Sword Sect, Wang Yuanba and Mo Xing's expressions changed, and they all looked at Lehou.

Xia Zhengming laughed even more, and said, "Brother Le, your Songshan faction is the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, what should you do at this time?"

Le Hou came here this time under the orders of his elder brother, the head of the sect, to see the details of the Hengshan sect's attitude on purpose, so he just kept a straight face and said: "Right and wrong are just and easy to understand. He will disregard morality and use power to overwhelm others.

Yiguang, although the Mighty Escort has injured a lot of people, but no one was killed. Didn’t you also hurt the two sons of Wang’s head? Zen Master Dingxing, in my opinion, it’s best to stop this matter so as not to hurt the righteous way The harmony between the two factions..."

Zheng Gui looked at Le Hou and pondered for a moment, then said: "Senior Brother Le said it out loud, and the monk naturally wants to save face. The two sons of the Wang family went to the Tongguan Security Bureau to apologize in person. This matter is over, how about it?"

Lehou was secretly angry when he heard the words, he just felt that the determined monk would accept it without knowing what he saw. Could it be that the seniors here don't have face?

Wang Yuanba's face became gloomy, and he said, "If my Golden Saber Wang family bows to the mighty bodyguard agency established by a few lay disciples of the Hengshan School, how can we gain a foothold in the Jianghu? All the elders are the leaders of the Orthodox Church, Fang Sheng Master, old man, tell me, isn’t Zen Master Qualitative a little aggressive?”

Master Fang Sheng looked at Zheng Gui, and was about to speak out to persuade him, but Zheng Gui got up and saluted first, and said: "Master Fang Sheng, you have a noble status, since you are here, I will explain the truth to you.

If old Mr. Wang Yuanba really wanted to invite everyone to sit together and discuss a mutually satisfactory solution, the poor monk would admit it, but he invited his in-laws from the Mo family, as well as old boxer Xia from Liuhequan and Sanmen. Dozens of disciples, each of them wields a sword, how can this be done in good faith?It is clearly planning to besiege my master and apprentice..."

Master Fang Sheng raised his eyebrows and stopped talking. Le Hou and Zhang Jin'ao also sat still, as if they wanted to see how Wang Yuanba would respond.

Wang Yuanba slapped the table, embedded the golden ball in his hand on the table, and said: "To be honest, if my family offends you, Zen Master Ding Xing, it's fine even if you send generous gifts to Hengshan to make amends, but your disciples are first-timers after all. Juniors in Jianghu, this matter is not solely the fault of my Wang family, your master is pressing you on foot, so we have no choice but to do it!"

Zheng Gui shouted: "Happy!
Mr. Wang, how do you care about it? "

Wang Yuanba glanced at Zheng Gui and Yi Guang, and said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns my Jindaomen and Baguadaomen, since Zen Master has arrived in person, we two old bones will ask you for advice.

If you win, the old man will personally go to the Weiwu Escort to make an apology. If our brothers are lucky enough to win by one move and a half, I just ask the Zen master to let it go. Wang is willing to offer 500 taels of gold as the medical fee for Mr. Ning and the others. how? "

Both Wang Yuanba and Mo Xing are the masters of a faction, and they have been famous for many years. It stands to reason that when the two of them are fighting against Zen Master Zenting, they will somewhat lower their status. Even if they win, it is not an honor.

But Wang Yuanba had seen Yiguang's martial arts, and he thought that he might not be able to win by fighting himself. It would be even more embarrassing if he lost to a disciple of Yi's generation. It would be better to ask Mo Xing to fight against Zen Master Chengxing, so as to gain a chance of victory. .

After all, the Hengshan sect is a famous sect, and the Jindaomen and Baguadao are small sects. Although Wang Yuanba's proposal seems a bit spineless, it is also reasonable in the eyes of Zhang Jinao, Lehou and others. Yuanba is over sixty years old, Zen Master Dingxing is in his prime, and Hengshan School's martial arts are also well-known, so it's not too embarrassing for Wang Yuanba not to dare to fight alone.

Zheng Gui smiled slightly, and said: "The poor monk is a junior. It is a bit rude to say that Mr. Wang and Mr. Mo are fighting alone, but since you brought it up, the poor monk should not just It seems that I have no ambition, and it also makes my disciples waiting in the escort agency sad...

Well, let's do it right away, and you should leave for Tongguan earlier, so as not to keep my disciples waiting for a long time. "

As Zheng Gui spoke, he pulled out the Hengshan faction-style long sword carried on Yiguang's back and leaped to the open space several feet away, looked firmly at the furious Mo Xing and Wang Yuanba, clasped his hands and said, "Please, please. "
