Manqingyuan.
Located in the prosperous area in the west of the city, it is the largest brothel in Luoyang. It has always been controlled by the Luoyang Gang, one of the eight gangs and ten guilds. It is a good place to make money every day.
A few days ago, "Zhishi Lang" Wang Boguang sent out an invitation, inviting the leading figures in Luoyang City, both in China and abroad, to gather at the Manqing Courtyard.
Although the Liaodong soldiers under Wang Bo were crippled by Zhang Xutuo and were declining in the west, they did not have the capital to compete for the world. But after all, he was the first person to launch an army to conquer the Sui Dynasty, and he was also the top master of the Changbai sect. He was known as the "Whip King" in the martial arts world, so most people or strength still wanted to give him face.
What's more, Wang Bo also invited Shang Xiufang, the most talented woman in the world, to perform on stage.
This talented woman is famous all over the world, no less famous than the strange girl Shi Qingxuan. . Even though there were some people who didn't want to give Wang any face, there were also a few who didn't want to witness Shang Xiufang's alluring singing and dancing.
The place where Wang Bo entertained guests was the "Tingliu Pavilion" behind the main hall of Manqing Courtyard. It has a unique design. It is composed of four three-story buildings in the east, south, west and north, surrounding a vast 50-foot courtyard in the middle. land.
There are more than ten wing rooms on each floor of the heavy building, and there is a window on the side facing the garden to separate the terrace. Whether someone is performing or dueling in the garden, people in the surrounding rooms can watch it at the same time.
This fashionable Xiufang has not yet appeared, but there are already several famous prostitutes warming up for her, and many voluptuous dancers are dancing.
But few people paid attention to singing and dancing, especially the gang leaders and guild leaders of the local gangs in Luoyang City. They were all stunned when they saw the people coming and going in the Tinliu Pavilion.
The heroic overlords who usually dominate one side and the martial arts masters who are proud of the world have appeared in the Manqing Courtyard one after another.
Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi and others were the eldest sons of the Song Dynasty in Lingnan. Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, the second son of Li clan, and his confidants Hong Funu and Li Jing. General Liu Heitai under Dou Jiande, Song Jingang under Liu Wuzhou, Qiao Military Advisors Shen Luoyan and Xu Shi from Wagangzhai...
These are all heroic figures on both sides. Usually the dragons are seen but not seen, but today they gathered in Manqingyuan.
In addition to the heroes of the Central Plains, there are also the Turkic Prince Tuli from outside the territory, Prince Fuqian of Tuyuhun, "Martial Master" Bi Xuan's disciple Tuoba Yuchun Yuwei, "Tie Le Feiying" Qu Ao, Chang Shumou, Geng Ge Hu'er, Hua Ling Three disciples...
And when Dugu Clan's Dugu Feng appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
The Dugu Clan is one of the four great clans. Although it does not have the rich capital of the Li Clan to compete for the world, no matter which force the Dugu Clan favors, it will play an even more powerful role.
The reason why everyone pays so much attention to Dugu Feng is not only the power of the Dugu Clan and Dugu Feng's beauty, but also its relationship with the "Emperor Master" Yu Liancheng.
It is said that the emperor's master alone suppressed the Dugu Clan and took Yu Wenhua and his head from the crowd of thousands of troops. This is beyond everyone's understanding of martial arts. Therefore, although the rumors are making a lot of noise, they are less convincing.
As for Dugu Feng, who came from Daxing, even if he had not personally participated in the palace coup, he would always know more about the emperor's master than they did.
However, before anyone could ask Dugu Feng, figures came in one after another from outside the Manqing Courtyard, with anxious looks on their faces.
After carefully identifying the past, they are all representatives of various forces in Luoyang City.
In the wing where Wagang was, a woman stood in front of the window, looking at the singing and dancing in the garden. However, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her autumn-like eyes showed a thoughtful look. She obviously did not intend to watch the singing and dancing.
The only one with such beauty and appearance in the wing of Wagang Village is Shen Luoyan, the "pretty military advisor".
"Luoyan, what's wrong?" Sitting next to Shen Luoyan was a man in green clothes holding a sword. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. It was Shen Luoyan's lover Xu Shiji.
"For some reason, Luoyan has an ominous premonition in her heart." Shen Luoyan stroked his chest with his delicate hands, his beautiful brows furrowed.
"An ominous premonition?" Xu Shiji thought for a moment and consoled him: "Secret Duke Chen Bing is in Xingyang, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wang Shichong has been thrown into prison. No one can do harm to Wagang Village for the time being. Don't worry."
Shen Luoyan smoothed his black hair and said with a wry smile: "Actually Luoyan is worried about us. Luoyang City is the territory of the foolish emperor Yang Guang, and... Yulian City has also entered Luoyang..."
Xu Shiji was startled, and then he laughed dumbly: "With all the masters from the Manqing Academy gathered together, how dare Yulian City come here to catch us? If he breaks the rules here, everyone will attack him."
"So best."
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Shiji opened the door. The spy from Wagang Village in front of the door saluted, and without asking, the spy told a surprising piece of news.
"Yulian City raised troops to the Jing Nian Zen Temple. A group of monks were captured, and Master Liao Kong and the Four Protectors were suspected of being seriously injured."
"What!?" Shen Luoyan stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?"
This same scene also happened in every wing room.
Jing Nian Chan Monastery is located in Luoyang City, and Yulian City's deployment of soldiers and horses is not secretive. Naturally, the news spread quickly.
Soon, the entire Manqingyuan was whispering about the serious injuries suffered by Jingnian Chanyuan, Master Lingkong and the four Dharma Protectors in Yulian City.
…
Yu Liancheng was sitting in a Zen room in Jing Nian Zen Monastery, with a copper box in front of him.
Opening the copper box, a strange wave immediately spread out and filled the entire room.
This wave is full of instability, and sometimes it is as cold as ten thousand years of ice, capable of freezing everything. Sometimes it turns into an active volcano, spewing lava that burns everything at any time.
The fluctuations continue in cycles, as if they will never stop.
What's even more frightening is that whether the fluctuation is cold or scorching, it carries a power that distorts the spirit, making people extremely irritated and filled with murderous intent.
It is so strange and changeable, and almost contains the mysterious power of the universe. Even with Yu Liancheng's cultivation level, it still feels thrilling.
Yu Liancheng gathered his energy, collected his mind, and looked into the copper box.
The shining He's jade is lying quietly in it, engraved with the pattern of five dragons screaming. It is a work of art, but there is a missing corner on the side, which is filled with gold.
Yu Liancheng's face was as smooth as ever. He stretched out his palm, circulated his true energy, and slowly printed it on the Heshi Bi.
When the jade is standing, it is bright and radiant.
And He's Bi suddenly radiated unparalleled spiritual power, clearing Ruyu Liancheng's mind and body.
One after another strange, unfamiliar and strange scenes appeared one after another, which made people irritated and almost screamed like crazy, as if they were trapped in a nightmare and couldn't extricate themselves.
There seemed to be divine light flowing out of Yuliancheng's eyes, and huge waves rolled up in the sea of consciousness, crushing all the violent evil thoughts.
After a while, he took his hand back from the Heshi Bi and murmured to himself.
"This He's Jade contains mysteries. It can not only solidify the foundation and expand the meridians, but also temper the essence and soul. Of course, the premise is that you can keep the altar clear, otherwise you may turn into a madman."
After some investigation, he had discovered the secret of He's jade. Of course, he cannot directly enhance a person's power, but he can strengthen the meridians and practice with half the effort. It was like turning a puddle into a deep pool. Every acupoint and every meridian has been transformed into an infinite treasure.
At the same time, there is a spiritual power in He's Bi, which can also temper the spirit through eternal connection.
"There is no need to rush to absorb the power of He's Jade, just take your time."
After a while, Huanwan floated in like an elf in the dark night, her black hair hanging down, her jade feet white and crystal clear, not stained by any dust, as if she came from another space.
The girl smiled coquettishly: "Sir, the monks of the Jing Nian Zen Sect have made arrangements. What are you going to do next?"
Yu Liancheng closed the copper box and said with a smile: "Huanhou is really an obedient maid, and people like her very much. And in Luoyang City, I happen to be able to find another one."
"The other one, Master, are you talking about..." Huanwan rolled her eyes.
Yu Liancheng didn't answer, just smiled and strode out.
…
In the Manqing courtyard.
The atmosphere is extremely weird.
In the Zhongyuan Zhengdao martial arts world, Jing Nian Zen and Ci Hang Jing Zhai are regarded as two holy places.
But now, Jing Nian Zen Sect, which has many masters and has a long history, has been crushed by Yulian City, which really makes people feel unbelievable.
Some of the experts had strange expressions on their faces.
Because they knew that the hot Heshi Bi was also placed in Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
If so, wouldn't Yuliancheng get He's Bi?
——Yang Gong’s treasure house and He’s jade can bring peace to the world.
If it is true that according to this rumor, Yu Liancheng not only learned the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, but also obtained He's Bi, then wouldn't he have the world at his fingertips?
"Hey, although I am not from the Central Plains, I have heard of the reputation of Jing Nian Chan Monastery, which is the holy land of martial arts in the Central Plains."
A young man in white clothes like snow, with blue eyes and foreign features stood leaning against the window. He seemed to be watching the singing and dancing on the stage, as if he didn't pay attention at all, and there was a trace of disdain in the corner of his mouth: "Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. But it is not surprising. The people of the Central Plains are known for exaggerating. It seems that It has a scary name, but it’s actually nothing more than that.”
This person is Chang Shumou, the eldest disciple of "Tie Le Fei Ying" Qu Ao, who is known as the "White Robe and Golden Shield".
Qu Aonai was Tiele's top martial arts master, and his martial arts skills were profound. At his peak, some people even ranked him and "Martial Master" Bi Xuan as the two top masters outside the territory.
Unfortunately, because he was too arrogant and arrogant, he challenged Bi Xuan and ended up in a miserable state. Although people are alive, their confidence has been shattered. After drinking all day long, they gradually become decadent and their martial arts also decline. And he simply focused all his attention on teaching his son and three apprentices.
Fortunately, neither his son nor his three apprentices disappointed him.
In the house, in addition to Chang Shumou, there was a handsome and wild Hu man young man and a pretty Hu woman in hot clothes. They were Qu Ao's second disciple Geng Ge Hu'er and his third disciple Hua Lingzi.
"Since I stepped into the Central Plains, senior brother, I have defeated twenty or thirty so-called 'masters'. These masters all have terrible reputations, but their skills are weak."
There was also a sneer on the corner of Brother Geng Hu'er's mouth: "I have heard the name of this 'Emperor Master' Yu Liancheng from time to time since I entered the Central Plains. Some people have boasted that he is extraordinary and holy. In my opinion, he may have some abilities. But if you meet us, hehe..."
The tone of these two brothers seemed to be low and ordinary, but in fact they had sent their voices far away, so that everyone in Manqing Court could hear them clearly.
All the masters from the Central Plains glared angrily, but this pair of brothers didn't take it seriously, especially Chang Shumou, whose aura was spread all over his body, and his clothes were flying, showing his strong momentum and confidence. His eyes met with those of the masters, just to choose one as a stepping stone to shock the Central Plains.
"Su asked about the name of 'White Clothes and Golden Shield'. Song wanted to ask for advice." Song Shidao's voice came out calmly in the Song clan's room.
Everyone didn't take it seriously. The Song clan had always insisted on unification with the Han Dynasty. Facing the provocation from this foreign master, it was normal for him to take the initiative.
Although Song Shidao was not well-known in the world and rarely made any moves, as the son of "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, he expected that his martial arts would not be too bad.
"Haha, it turns out he is the son of the Song family, but I don't know how powerful the Song clan leader is after acquiring the 'Heavenly Sword'."
"I am stupid and have not obtained my father's true inheritance, but it is more than enough for self-protection. You don't have to hold back."
The two of them started Qinggong and rushed to the stage. Where their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks exploded, and the point of a needle met the awn of wheat.
"Haha, before Miss Shang goes on stage to perform, you two can go on stage to discuss things, but just keep it to the key points and don't hurt the harmony."
Amidst Lang's laughter, a slender figure walked out. This man was in his fifties, with a straight back and a short brush-like mustache on his lips.
His eyes were sparkling, so deep and serious that it was scary, and seemed incompatible with his smile, forming an extremely weird and special style.
"Why don't you let me, Wang Bo, be the referee? Do you have any objections?"
This person was the host this time, "Chishiro" Wang Bo. He pushed away the panicked singer and dancer, and smoothed his lips and beard with his hand.
Naturally, these two people had no objection.
Just when they were about to start fighting, a clear voice sounded: "It seems that someone looks down on me and someone else. I wonder how much I am worth?"
Amidst everyone's surprised and noisy shouts, a man in black strode in with a playful smile on his lips. A pair of deep and bright eyes looked around the scene, and finally fixed on Brother Geng Hu'er.
As soon as they saw this person, everyone present could not help but breathe a little faster.
Not only because the young man in black was the "Emperor Master" Yu Liancheng who had just set foot in Jing Nian Zen Monastery, but also because he was holding a copper box in his hand.
A thoughtful person can guess what is stored in the copper box in an instant, and his heart becomes hot in an instant.
