There was already a sea of people under the stage. Except for a few rows of idle people in the arena, which were slightly messy, the rest of the slightly famous sects in the arena were all in strict formation and stood together.
The prestige in the world belongs to Shaolin. Since it is a martial arts conference called by Master Cien, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, all the righteous sects in the world are participating.
Master Ci'en held the Zen staff in his hand, walked to the center of the podium, put his left hand in a sign of clasping hands, and made a Buddhist bow to everyone. Then he secretly used his inner strength, his voice was low and loud, and said loudly: "I'm here to see you! Today is the fourth day of the fifth lunar month. The reason for summoning the heroes from all over the world to gather here must have been heard by everyone. In today's world, there are many martial arts sects, but the sword alliance formed by the ten major sword sects is the largest alliance in the martial arts in the Central Plains. In just a few short years, Within a few months, the largest alliance of Jianghu righteousness suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and the main culprit was the Lu religion introduced to the Central Plains from the Hu Kingdom. I think our Central Plains martial arts world is originally a river and lake that embraces all rivers. As long as we hoe the strong, support the weak, and punish the evil When the right way of promoting kindness is established, there is no such thing as xenophobia. We can accept it if the Lu Jiao spreads its religion in the Central Plains. However, in recent years, the Lu Jiao has become greedy for the Central Plains sects, intends to seek the master of the Central Plains, and colludes with others. On the seventh floor, they framed the Xuantian Sect and annexed nearly half of the sword sects in the Sword Alliance. At present, the power of the Lu Sect has endangered the safety of the Central Plains, and its intention to cause trouble is clearly revealed. Therefore, this meeting is held to call on the heroes of the world to jointly attack the Lu Sect and return the favor. There is peace in the Central Plains. In my humble opinion, without further delay, I will choose tomorrow to attack the Lu Sect and stabilize the Central Plains! What do you think of all the heroes?" After Master Ci'en finished speaking, Xiao Jin of the Wuji Sect in the audience saw this and called on all the disciples of the Wuji Sect to shout : "Crunt against the Lu religion and stabilize the Central Plains!" One call was answered by hundreds of people.
Disciples of Li Zong, Yuling Sect, Tai Zong, Cangyin Sect, and other major sects raised their arms and shouted: "Crunt the Lu Sect and stabilize the Central Plains!"
"Crunt against the Lu Sect and stabilize the Central Plains!"
"Crunt against the Lu religion and stabilize the Central Plains!"...Master Ci'en looked at the excitement of the crowd, smiled slightly, and raised his Zen staff slightly to signal everyone to calm down.
All cries stopped.
"In that case, I would like to ask the disciples of all the sects to wait quietly where they are, and also ask all the leaders to come up to the martial arts stage, and let's discuss together how to attack the Lu Sect!!" Master Ci'en said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the leaders of the major sects had even taken a step forward, they heard the monk Zhike rush in from the entrance to the martial arts arena on the west side and report: "Master, someone from the Lu Sect is visiting, let the disciples report!" He quickly ran under the podium and bowed and clasped his hands.
All the sects in the field were in an uproar when they heard about it. They didn't expect the people from the Lu Sect to be so bold and actually came to the door.
"Hahaha, old monk Ci'en, how can I, the Lu Sect, be so virtuous and capable? I need you to personally lead the people to conquer! Hahaha... There is no need for tomorrow. I, the old Taoist, will lead a group of disciples to come uninvited. All heroes in the world will not be invited." Won't you welcome me?" A voice like a lion's roar came from the west, resounding throughout the entire martial arts arena.
The sound is like a loud bell, deafening, which shows that this person has deep inner strength. Everyone turned around and saw a thin, square-faced Taoist walking slowly. He was holding a large demon-conquering Vajra in his hand. He was in his fifties. He was wearing an eagle-embroidered Taoist robe and had nine bulging buns on his head. The right half of his arm is exposed, and there is a circle of 'swastika' tattooed on the armpit side.
The people following behind him include Xiao Yingfang, the Third Palace Secretary, and Yankong, the Second Palace Secretary, both of whom are armed with swords on Lu Jiao's waist, as well as several leaders of the Sword Alliance and Sword Sect who were bribed by Xiao Yingfang, and then there is a young and beautiful woman. , wearing a green robe embroidered with chrysanthemums.
Behind them were several rows of disciples from the Lu Sect and several disciples who had rebelled against the sect. Their momentum was so huge that one-third of the people in the nearby crowd stood in a dark mass along the steps of the west gate.
It goes without saying that the person who dares to speak like this here is who else but Qiu Linpu, King of Lu Jiao Bei Guang Dao!
The Taoist sect of the North Territory, the state religion of the Great Hu Kingdom, is a sect derived from the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism. It is half Buddha and half Taoist, and practices as one wishes.
Da Hu Guoguo majored in this way, so he introduced King Beiguang Dao as his preacher and gave Hu Guo the position of national teacher. Most of the people from the major sword sects who had experienced the battle at Dinghu Mountain knew this group of people, except for the beautiful woman in green clothes, who didn't know if she was the new female disciple of Beiguang Dao King.
When people from Tai Sect, Cangyin Sect, Chandao Sword Sect on the west side, etc. saw the appearance of the Sword Alliance Rebel Sect, they naturally understood who the visitor was and knew that the visitor was not good, so they all showed their faces. Weapons are always ready to take action against the uninvited Lu Jiao and his entourage.
Xiao Yu, who was wearing a black gauze hat and hat, also followed everyone and pointed his sword at the group of uninvited guests. Standing among the group of individual tourists, he saw Servant Qiu walking up from a distance. He felt familiar. He shook his head and thought for a moment. It turned out to be a Taoist priest whom we had met that day. No wonder when I looked at his face, I felt that his internal strength was extremely high. It was not surprising since he was the Taoist King of Beiguang, the master of the Huns.
"Old Monk Ci'en? Ask your people to stand to the east and leave half of the space for the experienced people!" Qiu Linbu walked slowly to the Beidou Cliff martial arts field and shouted loudly to Master Ci'en on the podium.
At this time, there was a hint of venom in the voice of Beiguang Dao Wang. He was obviously using a sonic technique similar to the lion's roar technique to shock the people present in the Central Plains martial arts community.
Master Ci'en smiled slightly, and replied in a kind and powerful voice: "Since the King of Beiguang Dao is here in person, I should lead everyone from the Central Plains to let you out, so as not to say that we are not treating guests well, Amitabha!" Master Ci'en There were a few hints of Buddhist Dharma in the voice, especially when the words 'Amitabha' were uttered, the venomous tone in Qiu Linbu's voice was eliminated by the sound of Dharma, making everyone feel much more comfortable.
His internal strength was so profound that when several sword sect leaders heard about it, they all knew that these two people were competing invisibly.
Xiaoyu stood in the crowd and listened to the two people secretly exchanging words with each other. She frowned slightly and thought to herself, "I wonder if I can compete with these two people now with my internal strength?"
'... But I saw Master Ci'en stepping lightly on the edge of the podium, holding a nine-ring tin staff and leaping up lightly, flying several feet away, landing in the middle of the crowd on both sides of the west side of the martial arts stage, then slowly turned around, and again He clasped his hands together and said to the various sects on his side: "Amitabha, please go east and join the east side, and leave the west side to the land sects. How about that?"
"Master Ci'en, what a light kung fu!" Wang Cheng, the old leader of Cangyin Sect, praised upon seeing this,
"Come on, everyone, squeeze over there. Since the other party has come to our door, we don't have to go to Fangzhou Mountain." For a time, all the sects from the west poured into the east, and the leaders of the major sects lined up in Ci'en. In front of him, he cupped his fists and said loudly: "Listen to Master Ci'en's instructions!"
"Good, good!" Master Ci'en nodded, then stepped back a few feet, then turned to face the Taoist King of Beiguang and made a Buddhist gesture.
"please!"
"Refreshing! I've always heard that the monks in Shaolin Temple talk a lot of nonsense, so that they can use Buddhism to save the world. But when I see it today, I don't think so!" Servant Qiu slammed the eight-foot demon-conquering vajra into the ground, causing the bluestone floor to crack into several pieces.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they were at the bottom of Beidou Cliff. On one side were the people headed by Master Cien, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and on the other side were the people headed by Lu Jiao Beiguang Dao Wang Qiu Linpu.
The men on both sides stood on the east and west performing martial arts fields, looking at each other from a distance, and their swords were at war.
"Haha, I dare to ask old monk Ci'en, how are you going to lead these people to conquer our Lu religion?" Qiu Linbu sneered twice, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Master Ci'en smiled and replied: "Everyone is fighting fiercely, and it is inevitable that there will be many casualties. Since the King of Beiguang Dao dares to bring people to Beidou Cliff, will he not understand our intentions? In this case, you and I might as well decide the outcome through a martial arts contest! If we lose, we will obey the Lu Jiao’s arrangements and never regret it! If you lose, please hand over a few people who are plotting rebellion from the Sword Sect and take the Lu Jiao away from the Central Plains. You will not allow the Lu Jiao to preach in the Central Plains again in this life! What do you think of the King of Beiguang Road?"
"Haha, it's exactly what I want!" Servant Qiu Lin nodded and replied: "Then let's compete! Old monk, tell me! What kind of competition?"
