Pride of Heaven and Dragon Slayer

Chapter 37

When you first enter the 'Zixiao Palace', you will first see the five-meter-high stone statue of "Xuantian Zhenwu Emperor".Right under the stone statue was a grand teacher's chair, waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to sit on it, Zhang Cuishan and others were going to help Yu Daiyan, when the seven of them paid homage to the master's birthday together, a Taoist boy came in and presented a name card.Song Yuanqiao took it over and looked at it and couldn't help but said: "He Taichong, a late student of Kunlun, led his disciples to wish Zhenren Zhang a birthday than Nanshan." Then he said in surprise: "The head of Kunlun personally came to pay respects to Master's birthday. When will he come to Zhongshan?" The original?"

At this moment, Mo Shenggu asked: "Is Mrs. He here?" He Taichong's wife, Ban Shuxian, is his senior sister, and I heard that martial arts are not under the master of Kunlun.

Song Yuanqiao said: "Mrs. He is not written on the name sticker, but this guest is very important, so Master should welcome him."

Zhang Sanfeng said: "I heard that Mr. Tieqin seldom comes to Zhongtu, fortunately he knows the old man's birthday." He immediately led the crowd to welcome him out.I saw that 'Mr. Tieqin' He Taichong was not very old, he was wearing a yellow shirt, his expression was very elegant, and his weather was harmonious, he seemed to be the upright suzerain of a generation.Behind him stood eight male and female disciples, including Xihuazi whose right arm had been cut off by Xie Xun.He Taichong saluted Zhang Sanfeng to congratulate him.

Zhang Sanfeng thanked repeatedly and bowed his hands in salute.While Song Yuanqiao and the other six knelt down and kowtowed, He Taichong also knelt down and returned the salute, saying: "The Six Heroes of Wudang are famous all over the world, how can such a great gift be deserved?"

Just as Zhang Sanfeng welcomed He Taichong's master and apprentice into the hall, the host and guest sat down to offer tea, a little Taoist boy came in with a name card and handed it to Song Yuanqiao, but the five elders from Kongtong came together.Among the contemporary martial arts, Shaolin and Wudang are the most famous, followed by Kunlun and Emei, and the Kongtong School is next.The five elders of Kongtong talked about their seniority status, but they were on an equal footing with Song Yuanqiao.But Zhang Sanfeng was very modest, he stood up and said: "The five elders of Kongtong are here, Brother He, please sit down for a while, the elders go out to welcome the guests."

After a while, the five elders of Kongtong brought their disciples in.Then the leaders of Shenquan Sect, Haisha Sect, Giant Whale Gang, Wushan Sect, and many sects and gangs came to the mountain to pay their respects.For this birthday banquet, Zhang Cuishan and the others only wanted to enjoy a day of fun with their master and disciples and get together with some closely related sects, but they did not expect so many guests to come. Zhang Cuishan and the others received them separately, but they were so busy have to come over?
What Zhang Sanfeng hated the most in his life was these red tapes, every time he celebrated his 70th, 80th, and 90th birthday, he would always tell his disciples not to disturb outsiders, but on this [-]th birthday, there are so many honored guests in the martial arts world.After arriving, there were not enough chairs for guests in the 'Zixiao Palace'.Zhang Cuishan had no choice but to send someone to carry some round stones and place them densely on the hall.There are still seats for the leaders of various factions and gangs, and the disciples and disciples have to sit on the stone.The tea bowls for serving tea have been distributed, so the tea has to be served in rice bowls and vegetable bowls.

At this time Zhang Songxi pulled Zhang Cuishan, walked to Ao Kuang, and whispered next to Wuji: "Fifth brother, do you see anything?"

Zhang Cuishan said: "They made an appointment with each other. When everyone met, it was obvious that they were confident. Although some people pretended to be surprised, they actually wanted to cover up."

Zhang Songxi said: "That's right, they didn't come here sincerely to pay respects to Master's birthday this time."

Zhang Cuishan said: "In the name of birthday, it is true to inquire about the crime. It is not about asking the teacher for the crime. In the murder case of the Longmen Security Bureau, we are determined not to ask 'Mr. Tieqin' Mrs. He to come forward."

At this time, Ao Kuang continued: "Second Uncle, they are coming here with no kindness. They just want to know the whereabouts of foster father."

Zhang Songxi looked at Ao Kuang with admiration and said: "What a smart boy." Then he sneered and said: "They underestimate the Wudang disciples. Even if they rely on numbers to win, don't the disciples of Wudang sect betray their friends?" Fifth brother, then Xie Xun is considered a heinous traitor, since he is your brother-in-law, he must not reveal his whereabouts from you."

Zhang Cuishan said: "That's natural, what shall we do next?"

Zhang Songxi pondered for a while, and said: "Everyone should be careful. Brothers are of the same heart, and their strength can cut through gold. The Wudang Seven Heroes are used to seeing strong winds and waves. How can they be afraid of them?" Ao Kuang thought that although Yu Daiyan was disabled, they still said it The "Seven Heroes of Wudang", not to mention that after the Seven Brothers, there is also a master Zhang Sanfeng who is the most powerful martial arts master in the past and present.

Above the hall, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, and Yin Liting accompanied the guests and chatted politely.The three of them had already seen that the arrival of these guests was not right, and each of them murmured in their hearts.While talking, Xiaodaotong came in again to report: "Master Jingxuan, a disciple of the Emei sect, led five younger brothers and sisters to pay homage to the ancestor's birthday."

Hearing the voice, Zhang Cuishan looked around and said arrogantly, "Come on, the two of us are going to welcome the distinguished guests."

Welcome out.Ao Kuang saw that Mrs. Jingxuan was about forty years old, tall and powerful, although she was a woman, she was half a head taller than ordinary men.Among the five younger brothers and sisters behind her, one is a skinny man in his thirties, two are nuns, and among them, Master Jingxu and Tai Ao Kuang have already met in a boat at sea.

After introducing Jingxuan and others into the 'Zixiao Palace', Ao Kuang accepted the birthday gift from the 'Emei Sect' and couldn't help thinking that what Emei sent was the real birthday gift. In addition to the sixteen-color precious jade, there was another The scarlet brocade Taoist gown was embroidered with a hundred different "Shou" characters with gold thread, which took a lot of effort.On the other hand, most of the birthday presents from other sects were birthday cakes and birthday noodles bought from the town below the mountain. Obviously, they were bought in a hurry. The momentum of the heads of factions.

At this time, Grandmaster Jingxuan said to Zhang Sanfeng: "This is embroidered by the joint efforts of ten female disciples under the Emei sect."

Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "The Emei heroines are well-known in the world for their boxing and sword skills, but today they came to embroider this birthday robe for the old Taoist, it is really very precious."

It was already noon when guests from all walks of life arrived. There is absolutely no preparation in the 'Zixiao Palace', how can there be any feast in a short while?Daoist Huogong could only give each person a large bowl of white rice, with vegetables and tofu on top of the rice.Zhang Cuishan and others, as well as Wudang disciples could only apologize repeatedly.But when they saw the people eating their rice, they kept looking outside the hall door, as if they were waiting for someone.

Ao Kuang looked at the crowd carefully and saw that most of the sect leaders and gang leaders were self-respecting and did not carry weapons on their bodies, but many of the disciples had bulging waists, obviously hidden weapons, only Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong The disciples of the three sects were all empty-handed.

Ao Kuang sighed to Zhang Cuishan and the others: "Second Uncle, you are uncles, they really are not kind to the visitors."

Zhang Songxi took the words and said: "I don't know what they are still waiting for reinforcements? Master Piansheng doesn't like excitement, and none of the close friends of the Wudang Sect have arrived now, otherwise they wouldn't be as outnumbered and isolated as they are now. "

As soon as the words fell, Yu Lianzhou shook her head and said: "We originally wanted to wait until after Master's birthday, and then we would send out hero invitations and hold a hero banquet at the top of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. The situation. Originally, I planned that during the hero banquet, Cuishan would explain why he could not betray his friends. Anyone who walks in the rivers and lakes takes the word "righteousness" very seriously. Cuishan just needs to be honest. No one can force him to be an unrighteous person. Even if some people refuse to give up, there are many masters who have made good friends with our Wudang faction in the hero banquet. When they really want to use martial arts to meet each other, they will never fall I just didn't expect that the other party had already figured this out, and in the name of celebrating a birthday, they gathered their own men and rushed up the mountain, catching the Wudang faction by surprise."
