The sun sets in the west, the Jade Rabbit rises in the east, and the clear light falls coldly on the Yanfeng Peak. Dozens of giant butter candles as thick as arms are lit in Shibaliping New Year Hall. Li Shi, the head of the Huashan School, holds a banquet and invites guests from afar. The leader of Songshan is here. This time to pay homage to the mountain, the elite of the Songshan sect came out in full force. The four most proud disciples of the leader Ding Shuanghe were all present. They were known as the "Four King Kongs of Songshan" in the world, and their names were quite resounding. In addition, there were also the "Seven Killers" among the three generations of disciples. "Sword" and "Thirteen Taibao" are all outstanding figures of the moment.
Ding Shuanghe was full of energy and his eyes were as bright as lightning. After all, he could not hide the wrinkles and gray hair on his face. Based on careful calculation of his seniority, he was the same generation as Weng Gushan, the former head of the Huashan faction. Logically, Li Shi should call him a master. Uncle, but the Huashan sect is the leader, and the Songshan sect has demands from others, so Ding Shuanghe has no choice but to be friends with his peers.
This time Ding Shuanghe went to Huashan for two things. One was to select a son-in-law from the disciples of the Huashan sect and betroth his granddaughter Ding Qian to him. The other was to discuss the details with Head Li and assign them, and then gradually Cannibalizing the three sects of Taishan, Hengshan and Hengshan, the Five Mountains Sword Sect was founded. These two matters were not impromptu decisions. The elders of both parties had been discussing for a long time and finally reached an agreement.
He would rather be a chicken than a cow. In fact, Ding Shuanghe is not enthusiastic about merging the sect. Why should the dignified leader of the Songshan sect bow to the Huashan sect? There was nothing he could do. The Lancang Sect, the Shangzong of the Songshan Sect in Daliang Immortal City, took the initiative to form an alliance with the Huashan Sect in order to protect itself. The latter's condition was that the Songshan Sect and the Huashan Sect merged to create the Five Mountains Sword Sect. For the Lancang sect, why not give up being a mortal in the world and join the sect and embrace the thick thighs of the Huashan sect? Moreover, they are not without their influence in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
After a few words from the Immortal City envoy, Ding Shuanghe broke his leg while running away, and he sacrificed his old face. Finally, Li Shi, the leader of the Huashan Sect, did not hesitate to accept the terms. . You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. For this reason, Ding Shuanghe came all the way to show his goodwill to the "younger generation" Huashan leader. To show his sincerity, he brought all the Songshan sect's family members with him, and also gave him a precious granddaughter. , lest the other party get a handle on it - who made the Lancang sect unable to stand upright in front of the Huashan Sect?
Also unenthusiastic was Li Shi, the head of the Huashan sect. Ding Shuanghe had no objection to marrying his granddaughter into the Huashan sect. The world was in turmoil, and it was always a good thing to have one less opponent and more reinforcements, but there was really no need to merge the sects. . Abandoning the Huashan Sect, which has been around for hundreds of years, and establishing a flashy Five Mountains Sword Sect, even if it is honored as the general master, there is nothing to boast about. The five mountains are not in one place, and they are thousands of miles apart, so they can't live their own lives. As for responding with the same voice, pursuing each other with the same spirit, joining the branches with the same spirit, advancing and retreating together, it will not improve because of the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. In the final analysis, it is still the words with strong fists that matter in the arena.
Now that Ding Shuanghe had done his best, Li Shi had no choice but to tell a story. He introduced Ding Shuanghe to the peak masters and elders of the Yuntai, Lotus, Chaoyang, and Jade Girl branches. When it was Luoyan Peak's turn, he promoted his senior brother Qiu Zhuye. In the front, as for the second and third generation disciples, they passed by.
Ding Shuanghe knew in his heart that the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and he didn't know much about others. The six disciples trained by Li Shi personally were all outstanding talents, especially Li Yizhu, Jiang Shangliu, Yan Pingwu, and Zhou Ke. If you go to the world of martial arts, you can start a sect and become famous all over the world. In comparison, your four disciples are not very good at it. He still had to hold up the scene when it was necessary to hold up, and he could not be weaker than others in terms of momentum. He still shamelessly introduced the "Four Diamonds of Songshan" to the masters of the Huashan Sect. Whether it was courtesy or tit-for-tat, he finally got back a bit.
After saying the polite words, everyone took their seats. Li Shi stood up and toasted to the Songshan Sect. Ding Shuanghe responded hurriedly. The two parties went back and forth, and they were noisy for a while before they sat down to eat.
At the Songshan Sect banquet, in addition to the Four Diamonds, the Seven Killing Swords, and the Thirteen Taibao, there were also several unfamiliar third-generation disciples. Li Qixian bit his chopsticks and quietly asked his senior brother, but Hong Kun recognized them. He told his junior sister, The shy woman is Ding Qian, the granddaughter of Ding Shuanghe, the head of the Songshan Sect. Sitting next to her is Zhang Ren, a third-generation disciple. This person is smart and capable, and has quite a lot of skills in the Songshan Sect.
Li Qixian glanced at her a few more times. From the beginning to the end, Ding Qian meekly lowered her head, neither drinking nor eating. The only impression she left on people was her black hair and fair skin. There is no clue as to what he looks like. Zhang Ren had an exquisite appearance, chatting and laughing in low voices with his fellow disciples. He took the time to look around and nodded to the Huashan disciples he knew, as if he was looking for an acquaintance. Li Qixian felt a little regretful. The seats in the Lunar New Year Hall were limited and could not accommodate many people. Only a few disciples of the third generation of the Five Peaks and Five Branches were present. Junior Brother Guo was not able to participate in this lively scene.
Zhang Lu drank a few glasses of wine and couldn't sit still. He quietly got up and came to the Songshan sect's banquet. He respectfully bowed to the four kings as a junior, drank a full glass of wine, exchanged greetings, and then sat down next to Zhang Ren. Biting his ears affectionately. When the two sat together, everyone suddenly realized that Zhang Lu and Zhang Ren looked very similar, and they were obviously blood brothers.
Zhang Lu had already received a letter from his brother and knew that the Songshan Sect was going to choose a husband for Ding Qian, the granddaughter of Master Ding. Although Ding Qian lowered her head, her appearance did not seem to be inferior to that of Li Qixian. At the moment of beauty, he couldn't help but feel excited. How lucky he would be if he could be chosen by Master Ding!
Zhang Ren glanced at his brother and sighed secretly. He couldn't guess what Zhang Lu was thinking. Among the three generations of Huashan disciples, he could have competed in terms of swordsmanship and talent. However, considering the merger, Ding There is a high probability that the head of the clan will choose his son-in-law from among Li Yizhu's family members. The elder brother has no chance. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly.
Zhang Lu, who is familiar with the situation, straightened his back and looked high-spirited. He deliberately introduced the three generations of Huashan disciples to his brothers in a rich voice full of masculine charm. Zhang Ren turned his body half sideways and paid attention to the expression of Master Ding from the corner of his eyes. , guessing which disciple he was more interested in. As Zhang Ren expected, Ding Shuanghe had already made a conclusion in his mind. Among the six disciples of Li Shi, Li Yizhu, the first disciple, has the highest martial arts. In recent years, he has begun to take over the affairs of the sect, and he seems to be the first choice for the next leader. Ding Qian entrusted her lifelong lover, It is best to be the direct descendant of Li Yizhu.
Ding Shuanghe had bright eyes, stroking his beard, and scanned everyone one by one. He looked at Li Yizhu for a moment, and his eyes fell on the man and woman beside him. The woman was bright and charming, and she had not yet shed all her youthfulness. She thought she was his daughter Li Qixian, the man is calm and experienced, with a slightly older appearance. He should be his apprentice Hong Kun. Did Li Yizhu only accept this one apprentice?
He raised his glass and took a sip, winking at Zhang Ren.
