At night, there are lights and festoons hanging inside and outside Lujiazhuang, and the candles are brilliant. There were more than 200 seats in the main hall, front hall, back hall, side hall, and flower hall, and more than half of the famous heroes and heroes in the world attended the banquet.
This hero banquet is a rare grand event in the Central Plains martial arts for decades. If the host had not made many friends and was admired by everyone, it would have been difficult to invite so many martial arts heroes.
Famous heroes such as Xiang Nan, Guo Jing, Qiu Chuji, Ke Zhen'e, and Zhu Ziliu all sat at the main seat. The other guests were seated one by one, and everyone was drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
At this moment, Lu Youjiao, the elder of the Beggar Clan, stood up, raised his glass to the heroes, and said loudly: "The old leader of our gang Hong sent an order, saying that the invasion of the Mongolian country in the south is imminent, and ordered our gang members All do their best to resist foreign aggression.
Nowadays, the heroes of the world are gathered here, and everyone is loyal. We must discuss a clever strategy so that the Mongolian Tartars will not dare to offend our Great Song Dynasty again. "
After he said these few words, all the heroes stood up one after another, and what you said and what I said were all in agreement.
Most of the people who came to the hero's banquet today were **** men. Seeing that the country's affairs are changing and disasters are imminent, they have long been deeply worried.
At this time, an old man with a silver beard stood up and said in a voice like a bell, "As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. We have no ambition to be loyal. If there is no leader, nothing can be done. Today the heroes are here, everyone Nominate a hero who is highly respected and trusted by everyone, and he will take the lead, and everyone will follow orders."
When the heroes heard this, they all applauded and recommended ideal candidates one after another.
Someone shouted: "Hero Guo Jing Guo!" Someone said: "Nvxia Huang is resourceful, and she is also the disciple of Old Master Hong. I recommend Nvxia Huang." Someone shouted, "Abbot Zhenji of Shaolin Temple~". Some people even shouted, "Quanzhen Sect Master Ma. Changchunzi Qiu Zhenren." There were different opinions at the time.
In the midst of the excitement, only the sound of horns outside the gate could be heard, followed by the intermittent knocking of chimes. The door greeter shouted: "Welcome the distinguished guest!" As soon as the voice stopped, dozens of people, tall and short, stood in front of the hall.
All the heroes in the hall were cheering and drinking, they were slightly surprised to see so many people rushing into the hall suddenly, but they all thought that this generation must be a person who came to the hero's banquet, seeing that there was no one they knew, they didn't think so meaning.
Qiu Chuji saw it, and immediately said to Guo Jing and Xiang Nan, "Looking at their appearance, they seem to be the group of Mongolian warriors."
Xiang Nan, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong immediately stood up and went out to greet them.
Among the visitors, three stood out the most. One is a young man with an elegant appearance and the appearance of an aristocrat; the other is a tall monk in red with a thin face and a thin body.
The two stood on both sides, and in the middle stood a very tall and thin Tibetan monk in a red robe, with a figure like a bamboo pole, with a slightly sunken forehead, like a saucer.
Xiang Nan knew that when the strange martial arts of Tantric Buddhism were practiced to a very high level, the top door would be slightly concave. It can be seen that this person's martial arts are really good.
If the prediction is correct, these three people should be Huo Dou, Daerba and Jinlun Fawang.
…
Guo Jing cupped his hands and said, "Everyone who has come from afar, please sit down and have a few drinks." He knew that the visitor was an enemy, so he didn't say anything like "come and welcome".
"No need, the little king's name is Huo Du, this is my senior brother Daerba, this is my master, a holy monk in Tibet, everyone respectfully calls him Jinlun Dharma King, and the queen of the Great Mongolian Kingdom is now the first protector of the country " Huo Dou said triumphantly.
These few words were spoken so loudly that all the heroes in the hall could hear them clearly. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, thinking: "We are here to discuss how to resist Mongolian invasion from the south, but why did some kind of Mongolian protector come here?"
"I heard that Guo Daxia held a hero meeting. Our master and apprentice didn't accept the hero invitation today, but came to the hero banquet. We were shameless as uninvited guests, but we didn't care too much about meeting the heroes.
After hearing what he said, all the heroes understood the purpose of these people. Obviously, they knew that the hero banquet would not benefit the Mongolian country, and they wanted to fight for the position of the leader.
If Jinlun Fawang wins the leader by virtue of martial arts, although the heroes of the Central Plains will never listen to his orders, it will also weaken the momentum of the Han people to resist the Mongolian country.
Such ghost tricks, of course, have to be dealt with head-on. It's just that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. Looking at Jinlun Dharma King's demeanor of standing firm and not angry, one can know that this person is no small matter. Therefore, although there are many people present, they dare not act presumptuously for a while. To Guo Jing, Huang Rong and his wife.
…
"Since Prince Huo Dou said so, does Lingshi intend to compete for the position of martial arts leader?" Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
"Who is your honor?" Seeing Xiang Nan speak, Huo Dou couldn't help asking in doubt.
He knows very little about the martial arts people in the Central Plains, and Xiang Nan has rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years after discussing swords in Huashan, so he doesn't even know him.
"My supernatural power is Yang Kang." Xiang Nan smiled and said.
"Are you a supernatural power?!" Huo Dou was taken aback.
Seeing that Xiang Nan is young, in his twenties at most, standing in front of Guo Jing, he looks like his nephew. How dare you call yourself a supernatural power? ! What a shame.
Most of the guests present saw Xiang Nan for the first time, and they were also very surprised to see that he called himself a supernatural power.
"It turns out that Zhong Shentong looks like this."
"He is so young, can he be supernatural?"
"Looking at him, he looks like a son of a rich family. How can he be a supernatural power?"
Everyone doubted.
It's no wonder that Xiang Nan has spent more than ten years comprehending the realm of [Tao follows nature] and [Heaven and Man Unity]. The temperament of the whole person is becoming more and more introverted, more and more harmonious, returning to nature.
It's like the black iron sword he used, which looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact there is a universe inside.
"In fact, I don't dare to take the position of supernatural powers. There are so many capable people and strangers in the Central Plains martial arts, and the mountains are higher than the mountains. It's just a fluke for me, and I live in this position." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Respect Master Jinlun Since the Fa Wang intends to meet people from the Central Plains martial arts, I will not be respectful, so let's make a bold start and throw bricks to attract jade."
Huo Dou then translated Xiang Nan's words to Jinlun Fawang.
Jinlun Fawang glanced at Xiang Nan, also showing surprise, and then asked Huo Dou a few words.
"Isn't Zhong Shentong Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect?" Huo Dou asked again.
"Chongyang Patriarch is my ancestor, and I am a lay disciple of Quanzhen Sect." Xiang Nan nodded.
Jinlun Fawang nodded, then stood up and looked at Xiang Nandao, "You Central Plains Wulin really have no talents, and you actually let you go into battle."
His voice was extremely thick, and he could say this sentence in one breath, without changing his breath at all.
