Nightwatcher

Emperor Yuan Jing put away the note, and said: "Notify Wei Yuan, let him come into the palace to see me, no, no need."

The old emperor, who had just experienced the "ups and downs" in his life, pondered for a long time, and said, "Notify King Huai's spies to go to Jianzhou immediately to compete for the nine-color lotus seeds. You can cooperate with the Taoist priests of the Dizong."

After a pause, he added: "Try to bring as many magic weapons as possible."

The old eunuch bowed and retreated.

Jianzhou is located in the northwest of Dafeng, adjacent to Leizhou in the west and Jiangzhou in the north. At the same time, because there are two water transport routes through Jianzhou, it is full of flowers.

However, what people talk about most in Jianzhou is his unique regional culture: Wulin League!

Throughout the dynasties, the attitude towards Jianghu organizations has been mainly recruiting and suppressing, the obedient ones are recruited, and the disobedient ones are suppressed or exterminated. Only in this way can we maintain the rule of the dynasty and maintain the peace of the world.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

The Wulin League in Jianzhou is a Jianghu organization that can, to a certain extent, be fearless of the imperial court.

Jianzhou has had a profound martial arts culture since ancient times, and there are many gangs, among which there are many "hundred-year-old brands" that are still standing. These gangs are all under the jurisdiction of the Wulin League.

But these gangs are not enough to support the current status of the Wulin League. To trace the origin, we have to find it in the history books.

During the Great Weekend, the common people were in dire straits, and the heroes of the world rose up in an attempt to overthrow the tyranny. Before Emperor Dafeng made his fortune, he was just one of countless rebels.

Gather hundreds of soldiers and horses, mainly to capture small counties, and then recruit soldiers and horses.

At that time, several rebel armies had already become popular, possessing a strong military force on one side of the separatist regime. One of them came from Jianzhou.

The leader of this Jianzhou rebel army is a third-rank martial artist who rose up in the war-torn era and fought everywhere without losing a single one.

Later, the founding emperor of Dafeng rose up and became one of the main forces to overthrow the tyranny. When the Great Zhou collapsed, various volunteers competed in the Central Plains, and the old court had been overthrown. In order to stop bloodshed, the third-rank warrior in Jianzhou challenged Dafeng Gaozu .

Using their respective troops as bargaining chips, let's have a battle of spirits between warriors.

Needless to say, the third-rank martial artist in Jianzhou lost. According to the agreement, he handed over the army to Dafeng Gaozu, took away only the core subordinates, returned to Jianzhou, and established the Wulin League.

That third-rank martial artist has been extinct for hundreds of years, but the Wulin League has always claimed that he is still alive, and this is where the real confidence of the Wulin League lies.

"It turns out that the predecessor of the Wulin League was the Rebel Army."

Under the candlelight, at the table, Xu Qi'an closed the file brought out by the watchman's file vault. He felt that there was a loophole that could not be ignored.

"According to the records in the dossier, the founder of the martial arts alliance, a third-rank master, lost to Dafeng Gaozu. However, Gaozu has long since returned to heaven and earth. Why is he still alive?"

It doesn't make sense for the stronger master to die, while the weaker one is still alive. Everyone is a warrior, and they are all equally vulgar. Why can you live for hundreds of years?

Following this line of thought, he suddenly discovered a detail that he had overlooked before. Emperor Wuzong usurped the throne on the grounds of the Qing emperor, and he was a hero at the pinnacle of martial arts.

But, a hundred years later, he died

"Judging from the situation of the two emperors Dafeng Gaozu and Wuzong, it seems that Wufu can't live long? But if this is the case, how did the man in Jianzhou live for hundreds of years?

"The Wulin League is bluffing to deceive the people of the world? Impossible. If it is a lie, it can only deceive ordinary people at most, and it cannot deceive the court. But the court acquiesced in the existence of the Wulin League, which shows that there is some fear. The former leader of the rebel army, really might be alive

"Then, the problem lies with the Dafeng royal family? What is the reason why the high-grade warriors of the Dafeng royal family cannot live forever?"

Xu Qi'an couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head and asked the other side, sitting cross-legged on the limp Zhong Li: "Senior Sister Zhong, I suddenly thought of a question."

Zhong Li's disheveled head turned around, eyes hidden in the messy hair, staring at him.

"How did the founding emperor of Dafeng die?"

"Slowly die of old age."

"" Xu Qi'an choked for a moment, and hurriedly added: "But, is the lifespan of a peak martial artist the same as that of an ordinary person?"

"I, I'm not a martial artist, I don't know." Zhong Li whispered, she felt guilty for not being able to solve Xu Qi'an's confusion.

That's it, forget it, anyway, it's not an urgent matter to get an answer Xu Qi'an blew out the candles, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and joked with a smile:

"Come and sleep together?"

Senior Sister Zhong is still the eldest daughter of Huanghua, so she ignores him.

Jianzhou.

Kyushu Geography records that there are mountains in Jianzhou, and there are beasts in the mountains, with human faces and animal bodies, six tails, and the ability to swallow the moon. It is called "Dog Rong".

Inunong Mountain is the headquarters of the Wulin League.

Rongrong, the ecstasy hand, accompanied the master and the landlord, took a carriage to Mount Quanrong, the holy mountain in the hearts of martial arts people in Jianzhou.

The owner of the Wanhua Building brought over a dozen masters and came upon summoning.

Wanhualou is dominated by women, all of them are beautiful and charming. Those with good qualifications will stay as direct disciples, and those with bad qualifications will marry out.

Over the past hundred years, most of the top-ranked gangs in Jianzhou have been more or less related to Wanhualou by marriage.

"This time Master brings you out to see the world, remember not to be brave, just be a bystander." The beautiful woman told her disciples.

Even among the beauties, Rong Rong was outstanding. She nodded first, and then said a little unconvinced: "Master, I have already reached the sixth rank."

Sixth-grade copper-skinned iron bones are considered the mainstay in the arena, and they are respected wherever they go. It is only a martial arts holy place like Jianzhou that seems so-so and not outstanding.

The beautiful woman shook her head: "The sixth rank is not enough to watch. In the next incident, I am afraid that only those who are above the fifth rank can participate. Those who are below the fifth rank may all be pawns to die."

Rong Rong, the ecstasy hand, trembled in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Master, what happened?"

While speaking, the carriage stopped at the foot of Mount Quanrong, and the women of Wanhualou jumped out of the carriage and looked up.

Quanrong Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, with steep and steep peaks, jagged rocks, dense forests, and uneven centuries-old trees. Attics and courtyards are hidden among them.

Passing through the arch made of white marble at the foot of the mountain, Rongrong held up her skirt and climbed up the steps, when she heard the master whisper: "You know Dizong, right?"

Rongrong nodded.

The three sects of Taoism are the "Great Sect of Immortals" in Jianghu, the top forces in Kyushu, and the Taoists of the three sects are existences that even the imperial court should be afraid of.

"I heard from the host that there is a group of Taoist priests in the Dizong who cultivated a strange treasure called Nine-color Lotus in Jianzhou. Not long ago, the strange treasure matured and the sun was soaring to the sky. Leader Cao came to ask for lotus roots, but was rejected and fought with the Taoist priests of the Dizong. one.

"Afterwards, the Martial Arts League summoned various factions to encircle and suppress that group of Taoist priests."

Rongrong was taken aback: "Leader Cao, what are you doing? Even if the Wulin League is at its peak for thousands of years, it will definitely not be able to offend the Daoist Dizong."

The beautiful woman nodded worriedly, and then shook her head: "Leader Cao is a man of great talent and unique vision. There must be a reason why he dared to do this, but we don't know it."

At this time, Rongrong heard the gentle and cold voice of the landlord leading the way: "Shut up."

The master and apprentice stopped talking, and Rong Rong raised her head and looked at the host's back.

The women in Wanhualou wore more open clothes, and it was a scorching summer, and they wore cool clothes. From Rongrong's angle, one could clearly see the landlord's round and plump buttocks, and above her slender waist tied with a ribbon; Smooth and graceful back curve.

The host always covers his face with a young veil, close to a pair of fox-like eyes, and has a protruding figure, so he is hailed as the "Oiran" of Wanhualou by the outside world, and his charm is obvious.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain, led by the steward of the League, and entered the courtyard. The owner of Wanhua Building walked through the courtyard and entered the meeting hall, while the rest stayed outside the courtyard.

Rongrong looked around in a low-key manner, and saw many familiar faces standing in the courtyard.

Those who carry a sword on average are Mo Ge's disciples, and Mr. Liu and his master are among them.

The one in Tsing Yi is a member of the Shenquan Gang. The members of this gang are very methodical in their punches. Recently, they have taken in many female disciples with flamboyant personalities.

Wearing gold and red attire is Qianjimen, who is good at using all kinds of hidden weapons and poisons, and his methods are treacherous and difficult.

Covered in black robes is the Flying Knife Sect. The Flying Knife Sect is both a hidden weapon and not a hidden weapon. It is said that the master of the Flying Knife Sect can control one hundred and eight flying knives.

When attacking and killing, he was dignified and upright, which was very impressive.

Rongrong looked away silently, there were as many as 18 Jianghu organizations present, and those who could respond to the call of the Wulin League and come to join us were all masters, and there were absolutely no idiots.

The leader of the Nine Colors Lotus is determined to get it, Rong Rong thought to herself.

Time passed by, and after more than an hour, the owner of Wanhualou came out first, followed by other sect masters and sect masters.

Through the open door of the meeting hall, Rongrong saw a tall, burly middle-aged man sitting on a high chair in the room, wearing a purple robe with layers of cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread.

She didn't dare to look at the man's face, she quickly lowered her head, followed behind the landlord and fellow doormen, and left the compound.

When they came to the residence where Wanhualou was housed, the owner summoned several elders, including the beautiful woman, into the house to discuss matters.

At dusk, when the beautiful woman returned, Rongrong immediately took Master back to the room, closed the doors and windows, and asked, "Master, what's going on?"

The beautiful woman pondered for a long time, and said slowly:

"Things have become clear, the Dizong Taoists lurking in Jianzhou are traitors of Dizong. They stole the nine-color lotus and hid under the "shelter" of the Wulin League to avoid the Dizong's pursuit.

"Not long ago, when the treasure matured, a vision appeared, and the chief Daoist of the Dizong chased after him, but because he was afraid of the Martial Arts League, he reached an agreement with the leader Cao.

"Leader Cao promised the landlord and the others that in the future, they will cultivate the nine-color lotus to maturity, and all participants will be given lotus seeds. Hehe, you may not know that this lotus seed is a rare treasure that can enlighten all things, even ordinary iron. Birth implement spirit.

"Of course, the lotus seeds mature once every Jiazi, and the cycle is long. Chief Cao also promised other benefits."

Enchanting all things Rong Rong pursed her lips, her eyes flickering with covetousness.

Such a treasure, anyone would desire and covet.

She immediately frowned: "Well, if this is the case, why did Gang Leader Cao summon us? With the power of the Quanrong Mountain Martial Arts Alliance and the Dizong, it is not difficult to wipe out the Taoist priests who defected."

The beautiful woman nodded approvingly: "The Taoist priests who defected from the sect are naturally nothing to worry about. They can be destroyed by hand. What Leader Cao really wants to guard against should be that the sect does not believe what it says."

Rongrong suddenly realized.

On the other side, Moge's resting place, in his room.

Young Master Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Then the lotus seeds are really so magical?"

Mr. Liu's master, wiping his beloved long sword, nodded and said:

"Naturally, it's no exaggeration to say how miraculous the treasure of the Taoist Dizong is. If I can get a lotus seed for my teacher, I will use it to enlighten this sword."

Mr. Liu's eyes immediately fell on the magic weapon that belonged to him, swallowed his saliva, and nodded vigorously: "It will take a year for the lotus seeds to mature, master, don't worry, I will treat it well.

"In the future, it will be a peerless divine weapon passed down from generation to generation in our line."

Master Liu Gongzi did not refute, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard from the pavilion master that the Taoist priests who defected from the Dizong are not very strong, but you can't take chances. Don't participate this time, just watch the battle from the outside." .”

Mr. Liu nodded vigorously.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the local government in Jianzhou was shocked to find that many people from the Jianghu had come to Jianzhou during this period of time.

They gathered in inns, restaurants, and brothels, spreading the news that a rare treasure will be born in Jianzhou.

The prefect of Jianzhou realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly. What the government dislikes most is the gathering of martial arts people, which is easy to cause trouble.

Immediately recruit troops from the guard station to strengthen defense and stand by outside the city at all times.

Then they sent someone to inquire about the information, and they found out quite easily that the place where the treasure was born was in a villa in the outskirts of Jianzhou City.

The Jianzhou government was relieved, as long as the scuffle did not happen in the city, and people in the Jianghu would fight to the death, they would be too lazy to take care of it.

In the villa, Daoist Jinlian stood on the attic, overlooking the mountain road in the distance.

The fair-skinned and beautiful Bai Lian climbed up to the attic and stood side by side with him, she said helplessly: "Just now another group of Jianghu people fell into a maze and were beaten unconscious and bound by the disciples.

"Since this period of time, we have captured a total of dozens of Jianghu people. These people are not guilty of death. If they kill their lives, they will kill innocent people. If they don't kill them, keeping them is also a hidden danger. What should we do?"

Daoist Jin Lian sighed, "This is Hei Lian deliberately letting out the wind."

If it were other forces, other organizations, in such a situation, they would definitely kill chickens and monkeys without hesitation to deter Xiaoxiao.

But Daoist Jinlian and the others can't do this, because Dizong cultivates merit and virtue, and they can't kill without reason, otherwise they will have inner demons and fall into the way of demons.

"Hei Lian knew this, so he spread the word and attracted many people from all walks of life." Bai Lian raised her plain hand, put her blue silk behind her ear, and sighed helplessly.

Daoist Jin Lian smiled calmly, as if everything was under control as soon as possible, and said leisurely: "No hurry, wait for a guy, if he comes, those mobs will probably retreat."
