Outside Suining City, Looking River Tower.
The name "Looking River Tower" is very common. Divine Land Regardless of the north or south of the land, as long as there is a river, there will often be a "Looking River Tower" like this.
But people with this name are usually unusual.
After all, poor people live by the river for a long time. No one wants to sit upstairs and watch the river view day after day.
So the name "Looking River Tower" means expensive!
Suining County This building was built in the Former Dynasty Da Xing year. Because of the great prosperity of the Song Dynasty, the Song Era style is still preserved.
The wooden structure is tall and straight, stable yet flexible, and is divided into a central main building and side buildings on both sides.
The main building is four stories high, with three rooms in width and four rafters in depth. The bright room has a First Gate in the middle, making it appear solemn and grand.
Each side building is two stories high, one and a half rooms wide, each with First Gate, complementing the central main body, like a pagoda shape.
Its shape is even more unique.
The central main building has a spire, the side buildings have verandah roofs, the lower eaves rest on the top of the mountain, and the cornices and brackets stretch in the air.
This building is located outside Suining City, next to the Fu River. To the west, you can see Guangde Temple opposite, and to the east, you can see Lingquan Temple. Two Bodhisattvas protect it, one behind the other. It can be said to be a blessed place in Feng Shui.
This building has a special feature, because the wealthy businessman who funded the construction at that time loved the Three Kingdoms the most, so almost all of the wood carvings in the middle are stories of the Three Kingdoms.
The three sworn brothers in Taoyuan occupy most of the article.
Therefore, this place is also called "Righteousness Tower" on the road.
The dream of many seniors on the rivers and lakes in Sichuan is to be here Washing Hands in a Golden Basin in the future and have their final glory.
Divine Fist Society chose the address here, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.
But at this moment, Zou Shaohai's heart was bleeding.
"How much money did you spend?"
"Temporarily all-inclusive, plus the money to pay for other guests, I finally got it, almost ten thousand taels..."
The disciple quickly stepped forward to report.
"I..."
Zou Shaohai took a sip of tea and calmed down.
He originally thought that it would be cost-effective to take over the first floor of Looking River Tower, handle the matter properly, and make Divine Fist Society and Fire Dragon Fist famous.
Who would have thought that things would change again.
"Master."
The disciple next to him smiled bitterly and said, "Although Li Yan called people from Huang Ling, Dian Yi, Qing Niu, and Gelaohui, things happened in a hurry and all the people who came were ordinary disciples or elders. It's not necessary."
"What do you know!"
Zou Shaohai glanced at it, "Behind Huangling is Qingcheng, Dianyi, behind Qingniu is the Cheng family, Gelaohui is a local snake, and there is Over the River Dragon like Lushan. None of them are easy to deal with."
"Divine Fist Society If you run this business, you have to do it beautifully and convince both parties so that it can be used in the future."
"By renting out the entire building, firstly, it will make people picky and make me laugh at my Divine Fist Society stinginess, and secondly, it will prevent anyone from causing trouble."
After that, he sighed and said, "Hu Zi, remember, if you want to be tough in this world, in addition to fists and knives, you also need money."
"Those elders just suffered from this. Look at the Cheng family. How often do they not do things beautifully?"
"You are stingy and want to be the boss, so go back and feed yourself..."
"Master is wise."
The apprentice named Hu Zi nodded quickly.
Zou Shaohai took another sip of tea and said lightly, "Where is Lu Guan, have you found any contact with other people?"
Lu Guan was also his disciple, and it was the man Li Yan who blocked the provocation on the road when Li Yan and his party entered Suining that day. Afterwards, when they went back, they started to stir up dissension again.
Who is Zou Shaohai, who has the patience to cultivate to Firm Strength, and is promoted to be the leader of Divine Fist Society in Sichuan? Regardless of his qualifications or scheming, he is very human.
It was precisely because I had inquired about Li Yan's character that I took on this matter.
Immediately, he realized something was wrong, grabbed other disciples and asked them, and immediately knew the whole story.
This was also the reason why he came to the door in person the next day.
Divine Fist Society wanted to make a name for himself through this incident, but he didn't want to fight Li Yan and the others to death, so that's why the scene outside "Ruifu Residence" happened.
There was a tacit understanding on both sides and they both knew what they were going to do.
Of course, Zou Shaohai also did not let Lu Guan off. After being punished, he ordered him to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes, and even sent someone to monitor him secretly.
When the apprentice named Hu Zi saw this, he whispered, "Master, you suspect that there is something wrong with Senior Brother Lu, right..."
"Hmph!"
Zou Shaohai said coldly, "There is an undercurrent surging in the middle of Sichuan. The battle between good and evil in the southwest has just ended, Dragon Worship Sect has started again, and Shu King Residence is also a little bit wrong."
"If you don't have a good eye, you will be someone's scapegoat sooner or later. If you want to get something out of the fire, you must be bright in your moves."
"Lu Guan has always been stable. He has always said that he is an orphan without a father and mother. He has no grudge against Li Yan. There must be a reason for doing this."
"In short, let people watch carefully!"
"Yes, master!"
While the two were talking, a disciple suddenly walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Master, you have already left the city. You can get there within two sticks of incense!"
"Okay, open the door and welcome the guests!"
Zou Shaohai gave the order, stood up, shook his robe, and strode out of the door.
He rented the entire Looking River Tower, but only one floor was actually available, so he changed the location to the highest building and occupied a room on the third floor to enjoy the view alone.
Deng Deng Deng went down to the first floor, where many people were already sitting.
"President Zou."
"President Zou."
"I've met Senior Zou."
Everyone along the way stood up to greet him.
When talking about the rivers and lakes in Sichuan, one cannot avoid Qingcheng Emei, but the Sichuan River Huguang is so vast that they are not the only ones there, and others always have to eat.
Therefore, Divine Fist Society has become a place for these small families to gather together for warmth. It has developed secretly over the years, and even some of the "Eight Leaves" who do not want to be controlled by Emei have also joined in.
This time, they can be said to have come out with elite troops and strong generals.
The person who comes is either the leader or the pillar.
In addition, there are several suffering master disciples.
Their faces were full of sorrow and anger, and they all wore sackcloth and wore mourning.
Zou Shaohai first clasped his fists, then looked serious, looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Today's matter will be decided by me alone, and I cannot make my own decisions. Can you agree?"
He had asked this question before, and now he mentioned it again.
After all, when dealing with this kind of thing, what you fear most is not your opponent, but your own people who will make trouble and stab you in the back. If you don't say anything when things get settled, you will only become a laughing stock.
"It all depends on the president!"
"We all listen to our seniors."
Everyone knew what was going on and naturally agreed in unison.
"Okay!"
Zou Shaohai nodded slightly, "There are rules in the world. It turns out that we are all guests. Others have sent messages, so we can't lose our etiquette. Come with me to greet you!"
After that, a group of people came out Looking River Tower.
Looking River Tower is on a higher ground, with one hundred and eight steps connecting Official Road, which are divided into three sections, each with thirty-six steps.
At this moment, there are basically two Divine Fist Society disciples standing on both sides of each step. The one in the back is holding a pair of swords, the middle one is holding a Guan Sword, and the front one is holding a spear.
Clang Clang Clang!
As they walked down the steps, the weapons of the disciples on both sides immediately intersected, forming an arch bridge of weapons, Blade Light sword shadow, Killing Intent full.
Everyone didn't care, just waiting for Official Road.
Not long after, a group of people came from a distance.
In addition to Li Yan and the others, there are also several groups of people wearing different clothes.
Those following on the left are members of the Luo family. They are all dressed in gorgeous Shu Brocade and carrying the Luo flag. The leader is Luo JunAn...
Following on the right was a Red-Head Dharma Master with three disciples. The Dharma flag was fluttering and the word "Lushan" was clearly written on it...
Yi Divination Sect, all dressed in Confucian robes, but wearing yin and yang crowns, representing that they are practicing Confucianism and Daoism, and the leader is Cui Song...
Azure Ox Temple, is a group of young Daoists, headed by the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation, Lingfeng Zi...
Gelaohui, then several old men came, all wearing black cotton robes, white turbans, red belts, and cigarette poles on the back of their waists...
As for Li Yan and the others, they also put up a banner. Wu Ba carried a large banner with Sun Moon Star Chen and Xiangyun embroidered on it, and wrote the four characters "Twelve Yuan Chen".
The so-called "Man'er" is mostly called by others. Even if you call yourself "King of Heaven" or "King Kong", it is just a joke.
Since he accidentally came up with the name "Twelve Yuan Chen", Li Yan simply decided to travel in the world under the name "Twelve Yuan Chen" from now on.
When they were less than three meters apart, Li Yan waved the team to stop.
Both sides looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Li Yan looked at the forest of swords and swords above, sneered and said, "Today is not a visit to the mountain. I've come all the way here, and you're going to treat us like this?"
Zou Shaohai glanced lightly, "Where did the guest come from?"
Li Yan replied, "Of course it is the rivers, lakes and seas."
"Since you are a Jianghu person, do you know the fundamentals of Jianghu?"
"Don't say that the world has no roots. Let's talk about the roots from the first one or two. Jiao Ai Bo Tao is the leader, and the snow mountain pushing clothes has been passed down to this day. There is a clear theory through the Spring and Autumn Period, Jian Shubai gave birth to Mr. Jia..."
"Okay! Since we are friends in the world, we should naturally treat each other with courtesy. The tea I have here is Meng Camellia, with spring flowers blooming in the pot."
"That's wrong. I said tea comes from the water of three rivers. I bring guests from all over the five lakes with me. They are all fellow travelers. Why talk about roots?"
"That makes sense, please!"
Zou Shaohai nodded slightly, raised his hand and ordered everyone to get out of the way.
However, the weapon on the steps was still upright.
Li Yan saw it before and already knew it. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Third brother was born with a strong nature. He roared three times to cut off the sun. Although he had no plan to bring peace to the world, he was able to defeat the great soldier Cao Ah Man!"
Wow!
Thirty-six spears were withdrawn in order.
"Second brother is famous when he comes to battle. He shakes the battlefield with his blue dragon dance. He travels thousands of miles to ride on a horse with strong ambition. He goes to a meeting alone to terrify the heroes!"
Wow!
Thirty-six Guan Sword removed.
"Brother Liu Bei has high ambitions, his reputation for benevolence spreads far and wide, his determination to revive the Han Dynasty is everlasting, and his heroism will last forever!"
"Okay!"
Zou Shaohai cupped his hands and said, "In the peach garden, life and death are the same, and the loyalty of the rivers and lakes runs through the sky. Please!"
In just a moment, it was as if the hostility had turned into friendship, and everyone was invited into Looking River Tower with a smile on his face.
These things are all old stuff from the world.
To be honest, no one who can come to me can tell me that if there is really a gap, I won't even be able to see him in person.
But some things are just that.
With a sense of ritual, it becomes formal.
Zou Shaohai The formation of the Liu Guan Zhang Taoyuan Three's sworn alliance not only illustrates the loyalty of the world, but also points out the rules.
The grievances between the two sides today must be settled here, and there will be no regrets afterwards.
At the invitation of Zou Shaohai, everyone climbed to the highest point of Looking River Tower. The windows all around were opened. Although it was a bit colder, it also had a hidden meaning: the wind came from all directions.
Generally speaking, this thing has a charter.
Divine Fist Society held the stage and asked both parties to draw a line and explain how to settle their grudges. Then they served wine and food to put the matter aside.
There are many chairs placed on the top floor.
The two sides face each other, with three rows in front and back, like Chu River-Han Border, facing each other tit for tat, with an open space in the middle.
The leaders of each faction sit at the front.
The rest sat at the back according to their seniority. As for the disciples, they could only stand and cheer while holding the big flag.
Li Yan and Zou Shaohai naturally sit in the middle.
Although the two sides looked at each other coldly, they were both clear in their hearts.
Strictly speaking, Zou Shaohai is a senior in the martial arts world, but with such a posture, he clearly elevated Li Yan to the same position.
It looks menacing, but in fact it gives you enough face.
And Li Yan also knew it well. He just cooperated with the acting and solved some chores so that the Shuzhong Jianghu would not lose face.
Zou Shaohai took a sip of tea, then looked behind him and said in a deep voice, "Today there will be redress of grievances and revenge. I, Divine Fist Society, will support you. However, no matter how high your skill is, it cannot be higher than the word 'reason'. You must follow the rules in everything."
"Who goes first?"
As soon as these words came out, a young Daoist immediately handed over his hands and walked out with a gloomy face, staring at Li Yan, "I am a poor Daoist Pu'an Temple Mu Feiyun, Master Qin Wanpei, but I died at your hands?"
Li Yan nodded and said, "Exactly."
"Hahaha!"
The Daoist's face was full of grief and anger, "The traitors are really rampant. Master is my Pu'an Temple Dharma Master. We will fight to the death for this hatred..."
"What's the rush?"
Li Yan glanced lightly and said, "Your master has already made arrangements for this matter. There is a suicide note for me to hand over. We will talk about it after reading it."
After that, he took out the blood letter written by Qin Wanpei before his death from his arms, waved his hand, and flew out.
After the Daoist took it, he looked at it with tears in his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Master, disciple, I am unfilial..."
"Flying Cloud Daoist, can you let me have a look?"
Zou Shaohai was a little curious. After taking it, he read it over and sighed slightly, "I also have a relationship with Daoist Master Qin. It is indeed his handiwork."
"The Daoist Master's last words were to expose this matter completely. He knew that as soon as he died, someone would say that he wanted revenge in exchange for the position of Dharma Master, which would be an act of destroying the family and the sect."
"If you keep up the good work, why would Daoist Master Qin have to sacrifice his life for others and get involved in these disputes?"
"Fei Cloud Daoist, what do you think?"
The Daoist held the blood book tightly and glanced at the indifferent Li Yan, finally becoming depressed, "We will follow Master's last words and expose this matter."
After that, he cupped his hands and turned to leave without looking back.
Li Yan shook his head secretly after seeing it.
Sure enough, no one knows his son better than his father, and no one knows his disciple better than his master.
Qin Old Taoist knows that these disciples are neither cruel nor capable of revenge. Instead, they will cause civil strife or become the target of others.
Leaving his last words written in blood can be regarded as keeping the flame of the sect alive.
"My father doesn't leave blood letters!"
Zou Shaohai A loud roar suddenly came from behind.
But I saw a young man dressed in sackcloth and wearing filial piety jump out, carrying a huge iron gun, and beat him hard on the ground.
This young man has Bear Waist on his back. He looks like a fierce general at first glance. His eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lotus Sect, Wang Kun."
"My father Wang Han died at your hands!"
Li Yan picked up the tea cup and took a calm sip, "Five Streams Town Except, it's an open and aboveboard competition, a life and death fight, what's the matter, this also requires revenge?"
Lushan Sect's Red-Head Dharma Master also sneered when he saw this, "What's so upright? They are obviously motivated by profit, and they compete in life and death, and everyone is determined by their destiny."
"If you play like this, why are you talking about Jianghu Rules?"
