Songshan.
The foot of the mountain was originally occupied by tenants who farmed land for the Shaolin Temple monks, but now a group of martial arts people came, most of whom were armed with swords and knives, and gathered at the foot of Songshan Mountain.
With the constraints of the Shaolin Temple, it did not cause any harm to the tenants. On the contrary, it temporarily boosted the economy of the surrounding towns, making it lively with people coming and going.
Most of these people are powerful figures and disciples of the Shaolin Sect, Huashan Sect, Emei Sect, Kunlun Sect, Wudang Sect, Diancang Sect, Kongtong Sect, and Qingcheng Sect, and half of them respond to Tietan Shenhou and the Eight Great Sects. The small sects and rangers sent here to participate in the 'Ghost Slayer Conference'.
Inside the inn.
"Have you heard?" said a young man dressed as a martial artist, with a mysterious expression on his face.
"What did you hear?" the companion next to him asked curiously.
"The imperial court's Tiedan Shenhou sent the No. 1 secret agent Gui Hai Yi Dao to unite the eight major sects to kill the evil ghost."
"Hey, who doesn't know this? If Tiedan Shenhou hadn't taken the lead, I don't know when this ghost-slaying conference would be held."
"Yes. Yes. I was afraid that the evil spirit would suddenly come to me that day." A person who heard their conversation interjected.
"You are afraid that evil spirits will find you, so you still dare to come to this ghost-slaying convention?"
"If you don't come to the Ghost Slayer Convention, you will definitely die if you are alone. If you come to the Ghost Slayer Convention, you will be safe under the support of the masters and seniors."
"You're just worrying about it. That evil spirit is a martial arts fanatic. With your martial arts, people don't look down on you at all. They kill people like Ba Dao and Mr. Wuhen."
"You fart..." The man's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"Don't accept Lianlian?"
"Come on, come on!"
Clang! Clang!
The sound of two swords being unsheathed.
"Hey, both of you, calm down and don't do anything. It will be too late to call in the law enforcers from the eight major sects. Calm down." Someone was sitting as a peacemaker.
This kind of thing happens a lot recently. Because of quarrels, they draw swords at the slightest disagreement, but most people are afraid that the eight major factions will not let it go.
There are also those who really do it, but in the end no one is heard from.
On the third floor of the inn, by the window, three people were watching the farce. They were Guo Zhu, Yagyu Yuki and Shangguan Haitang.
The three of them were all dressed in men's clothing at this time. Needless to say, Guo Zhu put on the most common young knight suit in the world, a Tsing Yi and a sword. Shangguan Haitang is a handsome young man in white clothes. At Guo Zhu's request, Yagyu Yukihime wore green clothes and her face was deliberately sallow to make it difficult for people to tell that she was a woman.
"Haitang, these people are just a mob, can they really destroy ghosts?" Guo Zhu, who saw this scene, asked deliberately in a low voice.
Shangguan Haitang also laughed in a low voice and said: "There are good and bad people in the martial arts world. This is normal. Otherwise, how can a well-known and upright person lead the martial arts world."
"I believe that the Eight Great Sects will definitely succeed, and I have the support of my adoptive father."
The eight major sects rule the martial arts world? It's obviously your foster father who leads the martial arts world, right? With just one word from him, the eight major sects will come to encircle and suppress me. What kind of 'ghost-killing conference' will be held? Guo Zhu thought silently and continued to ask: "That's right. What if the eight major sects are going to attack me this time?" If you can’t kill the evil spirit, I guess no one can cure him.”
"This is not something we worry about." Yagyu Yukiji added a cup of tea to Guo Zhu and said with a naughty smile: "We are just here to take a look. If the situation is not good, we will run away."
"Nonsense..." Guo Zhu said.
Yukihime Yagyu said this actually to point him out, telling Guo Zhu to run away when the situation was bad. After all, no one else knew Guo Zhu's true identity.
"If we run away, won't we leave Haitang alone in danger?" Guo Zhu shook his head.
Shangguan Haitang thought that Liu Shengxueji was worried about Guo Zhu's safety and was afraid that the evil spirit would hurt him, so he advised: "Brother, sister-in-law is right, this evil spirit is extremely cruel, and many martial arts seniors have fallen into his hands. Including my master.”
Shangguan Haitang felt a little depressed when he said it, and said: "I am alone and have no worries. Brother, you have a family and a room, so you must not take risks. My sister-in-law is worried about your safety."
"I'm very touched that my eldest brother and sister-in-law can come with me to find a knife."
Yagyu Yukiji pursed her lips and glared at Guo Zhu, meaning: You killed other people's masters and still called them brothers, you are really good.
Guo Zhu patted Yagyu Xueji's hand and told her not to be angry, and said to Shangguan Haitang: "Let's wait until you and Gui Hai have a fight before I leave. I still care about my life." .”
"Okay." Shangguan Haitang felt relieved after hearing this. Her elder brother was not very good at martial arts, but he was willing to listen to advice.
"The Ghost Extermination Conference will be held in the villa at the foot of Mount Song on the Double Ninth Festival. There are still three days left."
"Yidao, I have also sent him a message. He can come to see me in the afternoon."
Shangguan Haitang said, that means that you two can leave after this afternoon.
Will Guo Zhu leave? Guo Zhu will leave and then come back quietly. He is the real leader of the Ghost Slayer Conference.
He blended in because he knew how the Ghost Slayer Conference was going to deal with him.
Guihai Yidao did not arrive as scheduled, he only arrived in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived, he found Shangguan Haitang.
"Yida, you are finally here." Shangguan Haitang said in surprise as he opened the door.
"Well, I'm here. I was delayed a little while getting off to Shaolin."
Shangguan Haitang welcomed Gui Hai in with a knife.
As soon as Guihai Yidao entered the door, he saw two men in the room. His eyes turned cold and he asked, "Who are they?"
Guo Zhu saw Gui Hai Yida's cold face and didn't care. He knew Gui Hai Yida's character.
Yagyu Yukihime did not have such a good temper, and asked knowingly: "Who do you have?"
"Yidao, you come in first and then talk." Shangguan Haitang said.
Guihai Yida still listened to Shangguan Haitang's words and did not argue with Yagyu Xueji.
Shangguan Haitang introduced: "This is a knife!"
"This is my sworn brother Wan Sanjin. Their family cooperates with my adoptive father, so I can trust him. It was my eldest brother who escorted me here this time." Shangguan Haitang said with a smile.
"Escort? Is there anyone at Hulong Villa?" Guihai said the most irritating words with a blank face.
"Yes, there is no one in your Hulong Villa, and you are still asking me to borrow money." Guo Zhu didn't hesitate and stabbed Gui Hai. He regretted not beating Gui Hai to death that day.
"Hmph." They both snorted at the same time.
Is Guihai Yidao already aware that Shangguan Haitang is a daughter? Is he jealous?
Shangguan Haitang glanced at Gui Hai Yida. She didn't know how Gui Hai Yida, who talked less, could behave like this. She continued: "This is Miss Yagyu Yukiji, the wife of Brother Wan."
Yukihime Yagyu chuckled and said, "I'm not married yet, I'm my fiancée."
"Isn't that a matter of time? How about we go back and take care of this matter?" Guo Zhu grabbed Yagyu Yukihime's hand.
Shangguan Haitang and Gui Hai Yidao both felt uncomfortable, as if someone was showing off their faces.
However, Gui Hai slashed his heart and saw the hostility between the two of them reduced a lot. Just now he saw two men he didn't know in Shangguan Haitang's room, and he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to. It was comfortable, so I just went head-to-head with the opponent.
Gui Hai couldn't help but apologize, so he just bowed his hands to the two of them.
Guo Zhu returned the favor, but Yukihime Yagyu ignored him.
After the four people sat down, Shangguan Haitang began to ask about Guihai Yida and the eight major sects to hold a ghost-killing conference.
"According to the command of the Lord Shen, I gave the secret letter of the Lord Shen to Master Kong, the abbot of Shaolin. Then Master Kong sent a message to summon the masters of the other seven major sects and the righteous people in the world, and agreed to nine On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the lunar month, a ghost-killing meeting will be held to discuss specific matters regarding ghost-killing."
"I don't know the rest. The Lord Shen only said that I should obey Master Kong's arrangements."
"That's all?" Guo Zhu asked.
"That's all." Gui Hai nodded with a knife.
"I thought I could hear something interesting." Guo Zhu curled his lips, "It's not interesting at all."
"Brother, this is not an interesting thing in the first place. You and your sister-in-law should leave early." Shangguan Haitang persuaded again. She came to help Gui Hai Yida complete the task. She had already violated Zhu Wuli's taboo. If she was hurting Guo Zhu If he was injured, it might be difficult to obtain the qualification of 13,000 yuan, so she did not agree with Guo Zhu to come with him from the beginning. She had no choice but to persuade Guo Zhu to go back early if he insisted on coming.
"I plan to go back." Guo Zhu changed his tone, "But..."
"But what?" Shangguan Haitang asked.
"Hehe, I heard that Guihai Yida of Hulong Villa is very powerful in martial arts. I would like to compete with Guihai brothers, okay." Guo Zhu chuckled.
"My sword is for killing people, not for sparring." Gui Hai refused with a sword.
"Then it's better not to compete." Yagyu Yukiji said, looking worried about Guo Zhu and afraid that he would be injured.
"Instead of competing with swords, you can also compete with fists and kicks." Guo Zhu shook his head, "I won't go back if you don't have to."
Guo Zhu started to let go.
Seeing Shangguan Haitang's embarrassment, Guihai Yida finally agreed to the contest between the two. They would compete with each other until the point was reached, and Shangguan Haitang would be the referee.
In the woods, Guo Zhu and Gui Hai Yi Dao squared off against each other.
Guo Zhu took the lead and rushed over, using a set of chaotic king's eight punches.
Snapped! Snapped! …
All the bastard punches were easily blocked by Gui Hai Yi Dao, but Gui Hai Yi Dao never fought back.
It's not because his boxing skills are not good, but Shangguan Haitang told him not to hurt Guo Zhu before the competition. Shangguan Haitang also told him that her eldest brother's martial arts skills are average, so she just needs to defeat him at the right time, and don't hurt the opponent. face, otherwise it will be difficult to do things later.
Gui Hai resisted the sword attack easily, but she felt aggrieved in her heart. It seemed that Haitang cared about this man very much, even though his martial arts skills were so poor...
Thinking of this, Gui Hai struck three points harder with his sword.
If you want to make him suffer, if his martial arts is so poor, then he should stop being embarrassed.
Guo Zhu, who was wielding the bastard fist, could clearly feel the strength in Gui Hai Yi Dao's hand gradually increasing. He was not angry but happy, shouting: "Gui Hai Yi Dao, we will determine the outcome with one punch."
"Xia Jiba fights!"
Guihai Yi Dao didn't say anything. He found Guo Zhu's flaw and punched Guo Zhu in the chest.
Guo Zhu took three steps back and used his internal strength to force out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
Guo Zhu bowed his head and knelt on one knee.
In the eyes of others, he was injured and couldn't stand up, but in fact it was the smile on his face.
"Hey! Didn't we stop at the end of the deal? Why are you so harsh?" Yagyu Yukiji took the lead and ran to Guo Zhu and said angrily. She helped Guo Zhu up, and Guo Zhu quietly gave her a thumbs up.
"Yidao, you struck too hard." Shangguan Haitang also said, and then ran over to check Guo Zhu's injury.
