Li Luo, Xiao Yu and An Ning followed the two junior brothers from the back door of Huatan Temple along the side hall path and quietly came to the back of the Li Zong branch.
"Ning'er, you and Xiaoyu stand in the back. I'll go to the front to meet my brother." Li Luo ordered Xiaoyu and An Ning.
An Ning and Xiao Yu nodded at the same time.
The disciples of Li Zong all knew the temperament of their little senior sister. After looking at Xiao Yu, they had an idea, and they didn't let Xiao Yu leave.
The few disciples of Li Zong behind made way for Li Luo, and Li Luo cautiously came behind Li Kun.
"Back?" Li Kun didn't even look behind him. Hearing the light footsteps approaching, he knew that Li Luo was back.
Seeing that he was discovered, Li Luo had no choice but to lower his head and reply with a pout, "I'm back."
Li Kun frowned and said, "I knew you would run out to play if I followed you out. Fortunately, daddy is not here, otherwise I would put you in solitary confinement."
Li Luo hurriedly stepped forward and took her brother's arm, saying coquettishly: "Hehe, I knew that brother was the best to me."
Li Kun glanced at her with a smile and said: "Well, your virtue is that only your brother will pamper you. Who told me that I only have a sister like you?"
Li Luo smiled like a blooming lotus, biting her lower lip, and nodded vigorously, "It's good to have a brother."
Li Kun pointed at the group of people opposite him, frowned and said: "If there is a martial arts competition later, you have to help our Li Zong face, but you can't lose to this foreign teacher." Li Kun knew that although his sister was greedy, It's fun to play, but his martial arts attainments are not low among the disciples of Li Zong. He studied under Qin Laowei Changyin, and his martial arts is as good as his own.
Li Luo raised his little fist and muttered: "Brother, don't worry, you won't lose as long as I'm here."
Xiao Yu stood quietly behind the disciples of the Li Zong sect. An Ning looked at him and felt unhappy, but she had no intention of arguing with him at this time.
Li Zong and Huatan Temple are in the middle, and other sects stand to the left and right in turn. Ruan Qingchou, a well-known martial artist, stands next to Abbot Kongxing. To the left are people from Yushan Sword Sect and Mingyi Sword Sect, and to the right are people from Yushan Sword Sect and Mingyi Sword Sect. They are the three sects of An Ningguan, Tianxuan Temple, and Luoyue Sect.
Ruan Qingchou, the Ba Dao Clan member, didn't want to see Ruan Qingchou. He was at loggerheads with the other seven sects in the south of the Yangtze River in Huatan Temple and was not in the team at this time.
The other party was a foreign teacher from the Western Regions, belonging to the Xiongnu branch. The Xiongnu and the Central Plains had been at odds with each other every year. Therefore, most sects in the Central Plains had heard of the Lu Sect, but they also disliked it very much.
Today's dispute is the confrontation between the Central Plains and the Western Regions Fanjiao. Therefore, Huatan Temple does not refuse individual Jianghu people to watch the fun. Many Jianghu people who do not belong to the Jiangnan sects are let in, and their seats are arranged on the left. Lateral position.
Xiaoyu glanced at them. Although they seemed to be a gang of gangsters, they also looked at the Lu Sect's group of people with the same hatred.
There are rumors in the world that Lu Jiao was born in the Taoist sect of the Western Regions. Its leader is proficient in a profound Kung Fu called "Kung Fu" and leads his disciples across the Central Plains.
All members of the Lu Sect wore yellow-white robes with long sleeves and wide legs, and a long pointed round hat on their head. The lower half of their faces were covered with a piece of black cloth.
There was a row of half-person-high tin boxes in front of them. Through the crowd, Xiao Yu counted eight tin boxes in total, but he didn't know what was inside.
"Luoluo, the other party claims to be a disciple of the Lu Sect. The thin man leading it is called Yankong. He is the second disciple of the head of the Lu Sect. On his left and right are masters of the Lu Sect." Li Kun pointed. Referring to the tall and thin man standing at the head of the group, he introduced it to Li Luo.
Li Luo nodded.
"Donor Yankong, since you are guests of the Lu Sect, why don't you go and sit in the Zhili Guest Hall? Our temple welcomes you to come and eat and worship Buddha. As for this gift, we are outsiders and we feel ashamed to receive it. Please do as you please. ." Abbot Kongxing said to several masked Lu Jiao disciples.
Na Yankong sneered a few times and said to Kongxing: "Master Kongxing, our Lu Sect intends to make friends with various sects in the south of the Yangtze River. These gifts are not all for you Huatan Temple. You don't even have to look at these gifts." Why don’t you refuse? You don’t want to ask other people what they think?”
Li Kun heard the words from one side, raised his hands in thanks and said, "My Li Zong is an upright sect from the Central Plains, so naturally I will not accept the courtesy of the Lu religion."
Several other heads on one side expressed the same sentiment.
"Master Li is right, we won't accept it either, please do as you please!"
The Yankong black cloth covered half of his face, and he frowned slightly and said to the crowd: "You are all heroes from all walks of life in Jiangnan. You might as well look at our gifts before making any arguments."
Yankong winked at the two minions beside him. Seeing this, the two minions hurriedly opened the eight boxes. They were full of layers of gold, stacked very neatly. There was a box in the middle. But it's not gold, but a gold bead the size of a fist. The gold bead is decorated with crystal clear white jade and covered with countless gold and silver threads. It looks exquisite.
"This gold is a gift from my master, especially the gold bead in the middle. My master told Yankong to send it to Huatan Temple. I heard that Huatan Temple has an ancient pagoda that is hundreds of years old, Xiyun Pagoda. This gold The beads were given to Huatan Temple as a pagoda." Yankong said to Abbot Kongxing: "These golds are small gifts to the major sects in the south of the Yangtze River. They are only a few tens of thousands taels, so please accept them. "
When the disciples of various sects in the south of the Yangtze River saw the boxes of property, they immediately started talking about it. Even many eminent monks in Huatan Temple couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Ruan Qingchou saw it and said with a smile: "What does Lu Jiao mean? Do you want to bribe us?"
Yankong made a gesture of invitation and said to Ruan Qingchou: "Donor, what are you talking about? Master just wants to make friends with the heroes in Jiangnan. I hope you can accept it. Of course, these tens of thousands of taels of gold are just for Yankong." I brought you the gifts first, but Master is still preparing big gifts for you later, which will surely satisfy you."
Abbot Kongxing heard this and stepped forward to thank him: "I have thanked Lu Jiao for his love for the Jiangnan sect. However, we have never made friends with Lu Jiao and we do not want to have anything to do with each other in the future. Please leave us with these gifts." Temple.”
Hearing this, a disciple on the side of Yankong stepped forward, pointed at the emptiness and said: "Good fellow, don't toast and you will be punished by drinking."
Yankong didn't stop him, he just waited for the disciples of Jiangnan sects to return.
Li Kun stood up first, holding a long sword in his hand. He clasped his fists and said to the man: "I don't accept the courtesy. I wonder if you have any advice?"
As soon as Li Kun came out, everyone from the surrounding sects stood two steps forward. Xu Dingshan of the Yushan Sword Sect stood in front of the road with a heroic spirit and said to the Lu Sect member: "If we want to fight, our Yushan Sword Sect has never been afraid. !!”
For a moment, the flavor of battle was full.
At this time, Yankong slowly stood up and ordered the man: "Step back." He turned to look at everyone with a smile, clasped his fists and saluted: "Since you are not receiving this courtesy from me, it means you don't think the gift is enough, then I'll give it to you." I will wait for Master in Yangzhou City for a few days, and after Master has prepared the small gifts for you, I will come to visit you again, see you later!"
After Yankong finished speaking, he led a group of people from the Lu Sect, waved his sleeves and coldly snorted: "Let's go!"
The people from the Lu Sect carried the box and left without causing any trouble. Everyone in the temple breathed a sigh of relief.
