The breeze roars the rivers and lakes

The 21st day of the ninth lunar month is a special day, a day so special that it can affect Jiangnan and even the entire Wulin.

In the early morning of that day, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the Yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou.More than a dozen policemen are standing in front of the door, welcoming all the heroes from all corners of the country.

At this time, hundreds of heroes from all walks of life had gathered in the compound of the prefect.Xing Tangfei was sitting on the high platform, gently stroking his beard, squinting his eyes and looking down, with a faint smile on his mouth from time to time, a very satisfied expression.

"Pen Judge Wen Zhengliang, here!" A yamen servant was shouting at the top of his voice.

"Hidden Sword Villa, Mr. Qi Yun, Mr. Qi Fei, here you are!"

"Ximen Family, Mr. Ximen, here!"

………………

From the hour of Chen on this day, the gate of the magistrate’s yamen has been unable to stop, it welcomes the steps of heroes from all walks of life, until noon, the last few important figures of power, now walking leisurely, in front of a few servants Crowded, and the yamen servant's hoarse voice shouted, and entered the compound.

"Hero Wen, Hero Li, Young Master Wang, Young Master Ximen, Third Young Master Qi, Fourth Young Master Qi..." At this time, Xing Tangfei was like a slave who had been poor for eight lifetimes. He was as excited as he saw a large piece of gold, smiling all over his face. No matter who you are, you are always very kind to say hello.

Just when the whole yard was boiling like boiling water.Another burst of shouts came from the door, just like the burning firewood at the bottom of the cauldron being pulled away.Immediately, the sparrow became silent, and they all turned their eyes to the door.

"Six gates are always arresting the head, Tian Tu is old, here!"

Tiantu shook his signature big ears and walked slowly into everyone's sight with two policemen.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to come too!" Xing Tangfei was obviously flattered, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet people with a smile, and said respectfully, his expression was like a dog meeting its owner.

Old Tiantu seemed to be used to this for a long time, his expression didn't change much, and he even seemed a little arrogant.The big ears slapped twice, which was a simple return gift.Immediately afterwards, he shifted his gaze to the other gangsters, and his big ears turned back and forth, as if he was looking for something.

"Tian Lao, don't come here without any harm!" Just as Tian Tu Lao was still searching the crowd with his eyes and big ears.A loud voice had already reached his ears.

Looking for the reputation, I saw a man in a green shirt who was about [-] years old. His facial features looked very delicate, as if they had been carved out of jade, but his brows were full of unyielding arrogance.At this time, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, outlining a slight smile, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Once Tiantu changed his normal routine, he bowed his hands and said, "Young Master Lin, don't come here without any harm!"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and asked, "Old God, forgive me for asking, why did you come to Hangzhou City? Did you also come for this ghost extermination conference?"

Tiantu slapped his big ears vigorously a few times, and replied, "You can say yes, or you can say no."

Hearing the words, everyone sighed, whispered to each other, and began to discuss.

Soon Lin Yu asked the question that everyone in the room wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask: "how do you say that?"

The boss of Tiantu slapped his ears twice, and replied: "The main purpose of my trip is to capture Xu Xuzi and bring him to justice. Our people got the news that Xu Xuzi had secretly returned to the Central Plains from the desert two months ago. .

However, after only appearing in the capital once, he fled to Hangzhou, and it was also heard that he was very close to the ghost king Gongsun Chou of the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest.Passing by here by accident, I heard that the prefect of Hangzhou is spreading hero posts and holding a ghost killing conference here, so I came here today to join in the fun. "

Before Tiantu Lao's voice fell, everyone present was stunned, some couldn't believe it, some looked horrified, and of course most of them were half-believing.

"Could it be Xu Xunzi, a generation of lecherous demons from the Central Plains 20 years ago?" A middle-aged swordsman asked with a slightly trembling voice.

Tian Tu's old voice was like Hong Zhong, and he replied: "That's right, it's this person 1"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lin Yu and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have any news about this person?"

Lin Yu's expression was as calm as water, he smiled slightly, and replied: "This man is indeed very close to the ghost king. I fought against him once in Wanguilin a few days ago."

Although Lin Yu's words were not loud, they exploded among the crowd.After three seconds of death-like silence, they all started talking in low voices in twos and threes again.

"This Xu Xuzi was already a powerful figure 20 years ago. Even though Lin Yu's talent is astounding, it is absolutely impossible for him to get out of the fight with Xu Xuzi!" A person said in a tone of complete disbelief. Say something.

"That's right, that's right, and it's still in that gloomy place in Ten Thousand Ghost Forest. It's the territory of the ghost king, Gongsun Chou, and there are basically very few people who step into it, and they can come out alive!" Another companion continued to add said a word.

"In my opinion, this Lin Yu is just a man who has gained a false reputation. Only his mother's family power and his father who is a high-ranking official in the capital can get such a false name. In fact, he is also a bragging playboy. " A young swordsman whose brains had been burned out by jealous rage, gritted his teeth hard, and said something malicious.

………………

Regarding Lin Yu's words, although Tian Tu didn't fully believe them, he did believe them eight to nine points. After all, Lin Yu was the master who could cut such a difficult and ruthless character like Kong Konger under the sword. .

After the two chatted briefly, Xing Tangfei walked over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, God, it's getting late. Is this ghost extermination meeting starting now?"

Lin Yu and Tiantu looked at each other and smiled knowingly. No one said anything, they just nodded.

After Xing Tangfei got the answer, surrounded by five or six policemen, he walked up to the high platform, first waved to everyone, and signaled these bustling people in the rivers and lakes to calm down first.

In an instant, the courtyard, which was boiling like boiling water just now, immediately became silent.Everyone's eyes fell on Xing Tangfei in unison...

Seeing this scene, Xing Tangfei deliberately coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and shouted with all his strength: "All heroes, you may have heard that the villainous ghost king Gongsun Chou is now frequenting the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest again. haunted, and the arrogance of the ghost soldiers and generals under him can be described as extremely arrogant, compared to five years ago, it is even worse."

After speaking of these, Xing Tangfei first glanced at the audience, seeing that most of their expressions were dubious, he immediately coughed a few times, and continued to add: "In just half a month, my residence has We have already received more than a dozen vicious cases of ancestral mausoleums being stolen, and ancestor corpses left in the wilderness. These stolen patriarchs are all righteous knights who participated in the extermination of their Ten Thousand Ghost Forest five years ago. And according to reliable news, the ghost king This move is not just for money, the bigger factor is revenge. Based on our government's understanding of him, he will not let go of anyone who participated in the extermination of their Ten Thousand Ghost Forest five years ago."

For those things that are related to their own vital interests, many people will make the choice of "I would rather believe what I have than believe what I don't have." in the first place.

Otherwise, if the ancestral graves are really dug up by then, then what face should these righteous knight-errants, who usually call themselves heroes, have the face to face the dead ancestors, how to face the evil in the rivers and lakes... Like-minded people?

Xing Tangfei doesn't know martial arts, but his verbal skills are really good.It only took less than a quarter of an hour to come to this place to gather. Seven or eight out of ten heroes of the rivers and lakes were all fooled and couldn't find their way. All of them were filled with righteous indignation, as if their ancestral graves had been stolen. .

After Xing Tangfei spit and said a lot of things that incited the atmosphere, he saw that the time was almost there, and then he threw it out, the most critical topic of today's ghost extermination conference.

"Everyone, since our government and heroes from all walks of life have joined forces to destroy the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts, there must be a unified commander. Otherwise, a group of dragons without a leader is no different from a mess of scattered sand?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Xing is right. The ghost king is so cruel, and there are so many ghost soldiers and ghost generals under his command. If the government and all the heroes of the rivers and lakes do not jointly exterminate them, the consequences will be unimaginable." A middle-aged man who completely believed Xing Tangfei's words The swordsman looked very excited, and shouted aloud with a slightly trembling voice.

"I don't know, heroes, do you have a suitable candidate in your mind to be the leader of the Ghost Slayer Alliance and command the operation to wipe out the Forest of Thousand Ghosts?" Xing Tangfei threw out another question without losing the opportunity.

"I recommend the stylus judge, Wen Zhengliang and Wen Daxia, as the leader of the alliance!"

"In my opinion, Mr. Ximen from the Ximen family is the most suitable!"

"I think the third son of Qi in the hidden sword villa is the most suitable to be the leader of the alliance."

………………

Heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, chirping non-stop, completely turned this place into a noisy vegetable market on the street, and even meant to attack each other.If you let it go like this, you will have to fight.

"This time to eradicate the Ten Thousand Ghost Forest, we should elect a person who is well-known and prestigious in Jianghu and has high martial arts skills to be the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the crowd!" A man with a goatee was holding a judge's pen. The middle-aged man shouted at the top of his voice.

Holding a judge's pen in his hand, he looks so righteous and dignified. If it's not the mighty stylus judge Wen Zhengliang, who is it?

"Yes, yes, yes, what Wen Daxia said is right, the leader of the Ghost Slayer Alliance must be a person with high martial arts, otherwise, how can he convince the crowd?" A person beside him agreed.

"Then why don't we follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, compete in the arena, and the able one wins, and use this to elect the leader of the alliance!" Another person proposed loudly, and his proposal soon won the approval of everyone.

Although the government had some objections to this matter, they really couldn't think of any good ideas, so they had no choice but to agree.

In order to avoid disturbing the people, after a brief discussion, it was decided to place the ring in the suburbs of Hangzhou.In this way, by the way, they can also use martial arts demonstrations in the arena to deter Wan Guilin and other evil forces that are about to move, and to blow their arrogance.

In the afternoon, a simple arena was built.It was more than three feet long and wide, and a rough red carpet was laid on it. On the left and right sides, there were nine braziers burning blazingly. There were all kinds of weapons on the surrounding weapon racks. It shone with a cold light, as if covered with a layer of blood mist,

The most conspicuous thing is the big flag whistling in the wind.There are not only the banners of the major martial arts families and the imperial court, but also the spark banner of the yet-to-be-established Ghost Slayer Alliance.

I saw the sparkling flag, like a giant, standing tall outside the city of Hangzhou.People can see it clearly from ten miles away.The wind and fire lingered, and the flag fluttered, like a flame that shot straight into the sky, pointing directly at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest!
