Sanqing mountain, one of the thirty-six Taoist caves and blessed places, is the location of Wenlan Taoist sect leader and one of the great martial arts sects, Donghai sword sect.

In the early morning mist, Hua Lanting ascended yuqingfeng to ask for taimianzi, the leader. Tao Tong went in and reported and came back to say that the leaders of the sect held a meeting this morning and could not see him until about midnight.

Hua Lanting went to the nearby Yuhua peak and came back. Daotong took him to a side hall. Entering the hall, hualanting saw eight Taoists sitting in it.

From Fang Qingya, he already knew that there were many practitioners of Donghai sword sect, but only the disciples who nominally belonged to Sanqing hall, Siyu hall, Baxian hall and Jiugong hall practiced martial arts, and the rest were ordinary Taoists. These eight people should be the heads and deputy heads of the four halls. In addition, the rule of Shenqing mountain is that the leader is generated from the four hall leaders. The leader is in charge of the whole sect and concurrently serves as the hall leader.

As soon as he entered the door, hualanting found that the atmosphere was not quite right. A person at the top of the head has a white face, a deep frown and a helpless and unhappy face. He should be the leader's Mianzi. The Taoist sitting at the bottom left looked numb and expressionless, but his eyes took a trace of color. The man next to him is burly, with black beard and face like jujube. The Taoist sitting at the bottom right has a blue and yellow complexion, deep legal lines, a sad face and deep hatred.

There was a Taoist sitting behind each of the four people. At this time, none of the eight people spoke or looked at xianghualan court. There was a solemn and tense atmosphere in the hall. It was obvious that the previous discussion process should not be very smooth.

After waiting for a while, Hua Lanting had to cough awkwardly and came forward to meet the leader of the Lord, taimianzi, and explained his intention.

Taimianzi nodded and said to the crowd with a cold face: "since everyone disagrees, let's do it today. Everyone goes back and thinks about it carefully. The matter will be discussed later."

After that, his face turned to peace, smiled at Hua Lanting and said, "thank you for waiting. Thank you for bringing the letter. Young Xia Hua, you've worked hard all the way. Please give me the letter from Qingya."

Hua Lanting took out the letter and handed it to Tai Mianzi. Then he handed it to the other three Hall masters for circulation and introduced Hua Lanting. The other three were Tai Yinzi, the Lord of the four Imperial Hall, Tai chizi, the Lord of the eight immortals hall, and Tai Xiazi, the Lord of the nine palaces.

Then, taimianzi said, "green cliff leads the crowd of thousands of people and threatens foreign lands. It doesn't live up to the painstaking teaching of me and the sect."

Taiyinzi on the left heard it, but said with pity: "elder martial brother leader, that's not what you said. Qingya is a good child, but now he is the king of the mountain and the enemy. I think it's because of the reputation of our famous Donghai sword sect."

"Yes, yes, I was in favor of Qingya joining the army. Being a general in the future can not only seal his wife and children, but also expand the lintel of the East China Sea. Now he has become a robber outside the territory and wrote to ask to send strong men to support him. It's a little unkind." taichizi echoed.

Taixiazi also said in a strange way: "younger martial brother Taimian, Qingya would rather go to a foreign land than stay in Wenlan to work for the door. You as a master should have advised him more. Don't let him do it wantonly on the basis of his martial arts and his reputation as a rising four show."

In those years, taiyinzi, taichizi and taixiazi all competed for the position of leader. Finally, taimianzi reluctantly won with the support of his elders.

However, although taimianzi's martial arts accomplishments are high, he is simple, modest and cowardly. In addition, he is neither interested in nor good at sect governance. As a result, the other three people don't respect him very much and often give directions when things happen. Therefore, taimianzi is secretly called Taimian Taoist by Wenlian Wulin people.

At this time, taimianzi listened to the words of the three Hall masters accusing his disciple Fang Qingya. He could not argue for himself, but he was very concerned about this proud disciple. Besides, the clay figurine was still angry. His face sank and pressed the burning airway:

"Three elder martial brothers and younger martial brothers, aren't you ashamed to talk like this? Is it because Qingya doesn't want to stay? Haven't you seen him practice the method of dividing his heart into two uses and force him to go abroad to join the army? But you said sarcastic words at this time?"

"In addition, we just discussed the matter of sending people to participate in the action to eliminate the Japanese pirates in response to the court's call. You pushed it again and again. One said that the monks were outsiders and should ignore the common affairs, the other said that the Japanese did not invade our school and had nothing to do with themselves, and the other said that the court did not promise heavy reward and did not have to contribute. Then, a secular disciple of Qingya killed himself in a foreign country on his own What is it to you, enemy? "

The leaders of the three temples were rarely angry, and there was no interface for a moment. Taimianzi said, "the Japanese are seriously affected. They burn, kill and loot in the coastal areas. Even women, the elderly and children are not spared, and their means are cruel. You don't know that. Is there an egg under the cover of the nest? It's everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "well, I'm incompetent and can't lead our sect to return to the center and act as one. I'm really ashamed of my predecessors. Well, I'll step down as the leader someday and lead my Sanqing hall disciples to join the Chaoting martial arts regiment to guard the border. Are you satisfied?"

Before the third hall leader spoke, the deputy hall leader of the Sanqing hall next to him said in a snatch voice: "no, leader! Please focus on the overall situation and don't be impulsive. If there are guests present today, it's better to discuss it another day."

As soon as the voice fell, a disciple stumbled in outside the temple door and shouted, "headmaster, headmaster, it's bad. Hundreds of Japanese came from the mountain gate, claiming to be sun god sect warriors, and threatened to worship the mountain for martial arts. We didn't allow them to come in, so they shot and killed three mountain guards. They're killing them up the mountain!"

Taimianzi was so angry that he clapped the table and rushed out. The temple lords were also shocked and angry and followed out one after another.

As soon as I got to the square in front of the Jade Emperor's hall, I saw that there were hundreds of Japanese people dressed in slit skirts and trousers with swords on their waist, surrounded by passionate sea disciples of Dongjian sect.

Taimianzi waved his hand and shouted, "Hall masters, gather the disciples of the four halls to protect the mountain. Today, I want to ask the murdering Japanese to come and go!"

The first Japanese man was short in stature and had a mustache. At this time, he said in a voice with a smile: "this is the leader of taimianzi of Donghai sword sect. I've heard of the etiquette of eastern land for a long time. Is this how your sect treats guests?"

Taimianzi replied in a deep voice, "who are you? Eastern etiquette varies from person to person. You Japanese pirates have no education. They invade our border and kill our border people. Now they hurt our disciples for no reason. They also deserve our leader to treat them with courtesy?"

The first man replied: "I am the leader of Dahe taiyangshen cult, Panasonic, who wants to ride. I am named Gao Yaoqi in the Han Dynasty. Today, I lead all the martial arts experts in Japan to meet Wen Lan to compete with each other. Those who are not as skilled as others will die. We have chosen three schools and four sects all the way south. It is said that your leader has a good nickname in the Jianghu. I think you are smart, but I don't know how brave you are. Are you called the martial arts leader of Wen Lan Dare Donghai sword sect fight? Hahaha! "

Taimianzi first looked at the three main halls behind him and said, "you ignore common affairs, don't care about yourself, and don't do anything without profit. What else can you say now that the Japanese thieves come to the door!"

Then he turned to Panasonic to ride: "plaster flag, isn't it? Martial Arts Association friends focus on dueling and exchanging points, but you kill people. Why don't you say it well? If you have any skills, draw a road, and I'll take it from Donghai sword school!"

Gao Yaoqi said with a smile, "the people of Dongtu want face and hypocrisy. I, the Fusang warrior, want to defeat the Donghai sword sect grandly, fairly and fairly, and cooperate with the army to wipe out Wenlan."

"Today, you have the advantage of time, place and people. Since you let me draw the line, it is said that the four hall leaders of your sect are called the four sons of the East China Sea. It is better for both sides to compete with each other and win three wars and two victories. If there is a draw, you and I will have a showdown. If you win, my sun god warrior will not serve as an East scholar in the future. If we win, your East China Sea sword sect will be subordinate to my sun god sect from now on. How about it?"

Taimianzi pondered a little and said, "that's it. Send someone to the end."

Gao Yaoqi stepped back and three people came out behind him. A warrior stirred up two high flags on both sides. On the left, it said: fist sweep the eastern Jianghu and destroy the prestige of the Wulin; on the right, it said: knife pick the Donghai sword sect and promote the spirit of Fusang martial arts.

When the people of Donghai sword sect saw the two flags, they were all angry and shouting. They only heard taimianzi say to the three Hall leaders:

"Brother Taiyin, brother Taichi and brother taixia, no matter what festivals and disputes we had before, at this time of our sect's life and death, it's no longer a dispute of morale. It's about the prestige of Donghai sword sect, the beauty of Wulin and the resistance to foreign humiliation. Please let go. Regardless of the victory or defeat, our leader will bear the consequences.

The three men were already filled with righteous indignation and said together, "don't worry, leader. We know that we will do our best." then Qi Qi came out.

The six were divided into three pairs, each fighting together.

The first surprise of the war was the Donghai sword sect.

You should know that the four halls of Donghai sword school have unique skills: the four imperial halls are famous for Taiyi lotus sword style, the eight immortals hall specializes in the Eight Immortals crossing the sea sword, the nine palaces study the unique tiger rose sword, and the Sanqing hall focuses on two sword skills: ink splashing freehand brushwork and blank topic poetry.

People in the East China sea never expected that the three Japanese pirates used Taidao as their sword. They divided Taiyi lotus, Eight Immortals crossing the sea and tiger rose sword techniques, which made them look like a model and in line with the rules.

Taimianzi was shocked and angry. Facing Gao Yaoqi, he shouted, "where did you steal my sword?"

Gao Yaoqi snorted coldly and said, "what is stealing learning? There are all kinds of martial arts in the world. It's strange that I teach swordsmanship similar to your sect. How do you know you didn't steal learning from us?"

Taimianzi was so angry that he turned pale. He knew that there must be a traitor in the sect, but he couldn't refute Gao Yaoqi's meddling. Now is not the time to pursue, so he can only continue to watch the situation. After watching for a while, he calmed down.

Although taiyinzi and taixiazi's opponents use the same sword technique, they are not as proficient as the two. After taiyinzi's sword grows lotus, lotus blossoms and shines, the sword Qi explodes and taixiazi inspires the heart. A fierce tiger sniffs the magnificent but dense attack of the rose mental technique, they can't hold on to their sword technique , they changed back to Japanese Dao.

Only taichizi's opponent, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea sword, is not weak. In addition, taichizi's cultivation is the weakest among the four hall masters. It's hard to distinguish between the two.

Just when taimianzi felt a little at ease and felt that the overall situation was leaning towards his own side, he noticed that Gao Yaoqi was smiling with a clear wind and clouds, and did not worry at all.

It was strange that taichizi, the leader of the eight immortals hall, shouted, fell back with his sword, and his opponent took the opportunity to stab him into his lower abdomen. Taichizi held the sword and cried out, "they poison!" and died.

The people of Donghai sword sect haven't responded yet. Taiyinzi, the leader of the four imperial halls here, also screamed. He suddenly couldn't fall down and was cut off by his opponent. The other party immediately drew the knife and retreated slowly. He didn't want taiyinzi to throw his hand with all his strength when he was dying. It was the last secret hand of Taiyi lotus sword, the "lotus blossom blooms empty", and the sword in the opponent's heart. They died together.

At this time, Tai Xiazi, the master of the nine palaces hall with the highest skill and experienced, had reacted. He also felt that the toxicity in his body began to attack, and his skill was losing rapidly. In his anger, he gritted his teeth and became angry. His luck exploded in the Dantian with his unique mental skill. He lost all his skills and became an ordinary person in exchange for the temporary disappearance of toxicity. Taking the opportunity of his opponent's close proximity, he shook his hand and smashed the sword. All the fragments plunged into his opponent's throat and neck, while Tai Xiazi gasped and forced himself not to fall.
