December 13th, the day of Yimao in the month of Yichou, is a good time to meet friends and pray for blessings, but avoid going to the beam or filing a lawsuit.
It's cold, with few clouds, clear air, gentle breeze, and the wind is southeast.
There are many people and many people talk. It is no exaggeration to say that the campus is bustling with people.
This is the second day of the Wulin Alliance and the first day of the alliance leader election. There are few pedestrians on the busy streets in Ruozhou City. Ten shops and nine are closed, and 80% of those who can walk are here.
"Drink, the old man has never seen this kind of scene in his seventy years of life."
"You are already so old, why are you here to join in the fun?"
"What's the excitement? With my eyes, everything I see is white. I can't tell the difference between men and women beyond two feet, and I can't tell the difference between humans and animals beyond five feet. Not to mention that it is a hundred feet away from the square platform, and there are densely packed buildings in front of it. Even if the man blocks me, he can cover me well. There are many people today, so I brought my grandson here to sell onion pancakes. Alas, I only prepared two hundred, and they were sold out in half an hour. Come on, the stall is back I'm leaving it over there, my grandson has gone back to make cakes to see if he can deliver it in time for lunch."
Yesterday was the first day of the alliance. Fifty or sixty thousand people came to the school grounds. Everyone present felt that there was no grander event in the world than this. Unexpectedly, there were more than three times as many people today, filling the huge school grounds to the brim.
Among them, apart from the people in the arena, most of them were doing small business and just watching the excitement. They were already shouting at the outside of the school grounds.
Several drums sounded, and people from the thirteen sects came onto the Sifang stage one after another.
Sitting in the leadership position are Xu Xiaoyi, Xu Xiaoyu, Xu Xiaoshi, Xu Suigong, and Xu Suye. Behind the stage are several elders from the outer sect of the Xu family and a dozen elite disciples from the inner and outer sect. The Xu family is the head of the family, so naturally they have to sit in the head position.
Sitting in the Kun position is the Zhenwu Temple, with Zhan Ming, Zhan Wei, Zhan Qian, Zhan Xu and Mei Yuanchen sitting on it. Standing behind the stage are a group of old and young Taoist priests from the Zhan and Zhi generations who are accompanying them. Zhenwu Temple is a national temple, so it is natural to take the first guest seat.
Those sitting in the Kan seats were people from the Yufeng Escort Bureau, Suxin Palace and the Yan family. Yi Qilin, Yun Xiaomeng and Yan Qinhe sat in the front row, followed by important figures from each faction. Yun Xiaoyang is the head of Jishi Hall of Suxin Palace. It is not surprising that she is on the stage. However, Yi Qingxin actually also occupied a seat, right behind Yi Qilin and Guan Lanyue.
Sitting away are the Yan Gang and Ling Yan Pavilion who have formed an alliance. Shi Yinheng's seat is in the middle, and Zhang Suiguang and Wu Qingsong sit on either side of him.
The remaining Liuzhuo Temple, Kuchan Temple, Xiaojinshan, Yangmingjiao, Nanbang and Yangqimen were divided into Zhenzhen, Gen, Dui and Xun.
Xiaojinshan, Yangmingjiao, Nanbang and Yangqi Sect were not involved in the election of alliance leaders this time, so Jin Shenfeng and He Zan all looked relaxed, chatting and laughing.
Faxiang, Duku, and Fayuan were sitting together, looking quite sad, obviously not sure about today's martial arts school.
Unlike the primary election, the martial arts school in the final election does not have a deacon to judge the winner.
According to the previous agreement, in any martial arts match, the 11 sects that no one among the 13 sects participated in will jointly determine the winner of the two sides.
It was proposed by Xu Xiaoyi, and the other thirteen sects had no objections, so it was made.
The first scene is Zhang Suiguang's confrontation with Dharma ministers. One is the leader of the largest gang in the world, and the other is the abbot of the largest temple in the world.
In the eyes of most people, this is a close battle.
Today, Zhang Suiguang has his hair tied up in a jade crown, wearing white clothes, a purple gold belt around his waist, and high-top boots. He is dressed in a flashy but not complicated outfit. He has always had a chuckle on his face since he took the stage, and he has a look that makes people feel like spring breeze.
Seeing him walking towards the martial arts school circle in the middle, the Dharma Minister also left his seat and walked away. The two of them each took a corner, alternately bowed in all directions and then held each other's hands in a salute.
The governor of the Xu family had already set up a circle of red silk partitions around the school grounds, and rushed all the vendors to the outside, ordering them to stop and silence.
More than 200,000 people in the audience looked towards the stage. Even though the Dharma minister had been practicing meditation for forty years, he still could not achieve calmness. At this time, he had already summoned the Paramita body-protecting energy, and his eyes were locked on Zhang Suiguang, who was smiling softly.
"He is still smiling before the battle? Huh, are you so confident that you can beat my old monk?"
Compared with Fa Xiang, Zhang Suiguang looks confident and free and easy.
Everyone in the audience, especially those from the Xu Family, Zhenwu Guan, Yufeng Escort Bureau, and Suxin Palace, were all keeping an eye on Zhang Suiguang, who was in the martial arts school circle.
Everyone knows that he has great martial arts skills, but few in Dahua have actually seen him. There are only two possibilities. One is that he rarely takes action, and the other is that once he takes action, he rarely leaves anyone alive.
"Under his warm smile, there must be a cold heart."
... ...
The original intention of establishing the "Thousand Mile Eye" is that even though you are based in your own country, you can still see thousands of miles away and understand everything in the country.
At that time, Duan Muyu and Xu Qianmeng initially made plans for the Northern Expedition. They both believed that the military situation must come first, so Xu Qianmeng drew up this "clairvoyant" ten-year plan.
A thousand military elites took off their military armor and infiltrated into Dahua, hiding their merit and fame. Over the past eleven years, some of their identities have been exposed and killed, but the vast majority have infiltrated into all walks of life, governments and government agencies.
There are nine halls among them.
Zhang Suiguang was not only the leader of the Salt Gang, but also the leader of the Nine Halls. He was not in Danyang City, so he asked Bodhicitta to take charge.
Qu Buming and Duan Liyou took advantage of his departure to take away more than 300 people in the palace and went all the way south to Juzhou.
These more than 300 people went to Juzhou to intercept and kill a group of people - the special envoy of Xian Ma Kingdom.
It had been five months since Xia Chengxuan ascended the throne, and his position was stable. Xian Ma was caught between Dahua and Jue, so he had to mediate between the two sides to see if he could gain some benefits.
The leader of this special envoy is Xiao Pu, the nephew of Emperor Xianma Xiao Cong and the eldest son of Prince Pingkang.
Xianma is a small country, with only five counties and thirty-seven states in its territory, and only 6 million people in its territory, which is far less than Dahua and Jue.
The country is small and the people are small. If you want to protect the country and the people, you must use the method of "four ounces to use a thousand catties" to benefit from both sides. Of course, this kind of "coercion" technique may also be playing with fire and self-immolation, and blessings and misfortunes may happen overnight.
When Xiao Pu went to the capital, he acted as a pair of eyes and ears - Xiao Cong's eyes and ears.
There will be a fight between Dahua and Jue State sooner or later. Xiao Cong was previously more inclined to ally with Jue State. After all, Emperor Yonghua's reputation was not good. But after Xia Chengxuan came to the throne, the political situation in Dahua changed drastically, and there were signs of a reversal of the world. Xiao Cong was a little shaken, so he sent a mission.
However, to his surprise, the information the envoy brought back was exactly the opposite of what he expected: the little emperor was talking nonsense, the ministers were arrogant, and the acquaintances formed cliques for personal gain...
He didn't believe it.
So he sent this special envoy northward, led by his nephew. That was the most trusted person he could send out.
This group of people had just entered the border of Dahua and were on their way to Orange Island. Qu Bu Ming, Duan Li You and their three hundred people are also on their way there.
... ...
This was the first time many people saw Zhang Suiguang take action.
Lifting weight is light, crisp and neat; firm but not fierce, upright but not straight... The demon-subduing palm, powerful vajra palm, bharatana palm and golden bell cover of the Dharma were all broken by him one by one.
"What kind of kung fu is this? It's so amazing!"
"Did you see that one of his palms is white and one is red? Master Faxiang and his upper palms started to emit steam. What's the reason for this?"
There was discussion on and off the stage that Zhang Suiguang's martial arts was far higher than they imagined.
"No wonder Miss Bai's disciples were so seriously injured by his legs. It turns out that this person has such profound internal strength!" Yun Xiaoyang, who was fighting outside the circle, thought to himself.
