Chapter 43: Seeing Flowers in the Mist
The Qin Dynasty was sharpening its knives and "storing grain and slowly becoming king." It made full use of its own youthful advantages.
Seeing that his daughter was growing up, Gan Baobao couldn't wait to take the position of head of the family, so he began to post martial arts letters, inviting well-known people from the martial arts world in the southwest to come to the "Wanjie Valley" to witness the birth of the fifth largest martial arts family in the southwest.
The Gong family restaurant was once again crowded, and the last wave had not yet been completed, and this wave was even more powerful. Most of them were people who were watching the fun. Before coming, most of them didn't even know what the "Four Martial Arts Family in the Southwest" was. They only knew that the Duan family of the royal family belonged to the "Four Martial Arts Family in the Southwest" and the small one knew that the "Tangmen of Sichuan" belonged to one of the "Four Martial Arts Family in the Southwest". Even those well-known people were half-understood, half-believing, half-believing. People with good knowledge knew that there was a mysterious storyteller in the Gong family restaurant who knew the most about the various secrets in the martial arts world, but they didn't know that the Qin Dynasty knew less about the "Four Martial Arts Family in the Southwest" than them. Most of them learned from them and colluded and analyzed, and in turn told them.
It's time for daily questions again. The twin sisters Azhu and Abi came to the stage to announce the rules. Xin Shuangqing, the former head of the Western Sect of Wuliang Sword Sect, patrols and maintains order. Gong Wan, who has won the title of "Drunk Beauty", has set up five new "Shili incense" on the stage. Mu Wanqing, who calls herself "Mrs. Qin", sat in the deputy seat openly. Qin Chao came late amid a burst of warm applause, and sat on the main seat with Xiao Liu with a blushing face.
"The auction began." Azhu and Abi announced in unison.
"Fifty taels."
"Fifty-five taels."
"Seventy taels."
...
The competition was fierce and orderly, and finally Sima Lin, the new leader of Sichuan's "Qingcheng Sect", shot away five pots of "Shilixiang" for 100 taels and got the opportunity to ask five questions. Gong Wan smiled on her face. She only photographed 90 taels yesterday, but today it rose to 100 taels. It can be seen that "Shilixiang" is becoming more and more recognized by everyone. The reason why she thinks this is because most of the people ask old questions now, and they have asked what should be asked long ago, and the Qin Dynasty would not care about what should not be asked. Although she has asked long ago and answered long ago, many people not only don't feel annoyed after listening many times, but they also want to listen to it a few more times from the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, if you want to buy "Shilixiang" now, there is only this method.
This kind of auction is not the first time. Qin Chao still couldn't help but sigh that he was famous and money was quick. He used to say something but couldn't make a few taels of silver even if he broke the news. Now he only needs to say a few old sayings and sell a few jars of new wine to earn hundreds of taels of silver. Ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold, and ten rounds of times will be thousands of taels of silver. If hundreds of taels of gold, it can be compared with the emperor's last reward.
In the audience, Sima Lin, wearing a white robe, did not rush to ask questions, but opened two jars of "Shili Xiang" and asked all the martial arts fellow practitioners to drink together, which attracted a lot of praise. It was both generous and cheerful for Sima Lin's generous and delicious food, which was even better and more good, without distinction between each other.
"I heard that your father was killed by the Gusu Murong family's "using his way to do it, and giving it to him." Suddenly someone asked loudly.
Sima Lin's face changed drastically and replied in a very sad and angry tone: "Is it because the Murong family of Gusu is not sure yet, but my father was used by our "Qingcheng Sect" in the "Breaking Moon Cone" skill in the "Twelve Breakings of the City" of our "Qingcheng Sect" and his internal strength penetrated into his mind, so he died. At the time of the incident, our masters of our "Qingcheng Sect" happened to be in Chengdu and they were all gathered together, without any suspicion. So, can there be anyone else in the Gusu Murong family who "uses the way they use to give them the same way."
Qin Chao knew that these two people were acting and wanted him to answer questions. He also doubted whether he could know. He was even more afraid of being rejected by him, so he had to use this more tactful way to ask questions.
Qin Chao recalled the contents of the book and said slowly: "The 'Four Martial Arts Families in the Southwest' are no worse than the Murong family of Gusu, and they can do this, let alone the entire world. Even if you are within the Qingcheng Sect..." As he said that, his eyes stopped on Zhu Baokun beside Sima Lin and continued: "None are as simple as you imagined. The Shandong 'Penglai Sect', the mortal enemy of your Qingcheng Sect, is not as simple as you imagined."
After hearing this, Sima Lin just felt something was right, but it was not very good. Zhu Baokun was scared and sweated in a cold sweat, thinking: "I am a traitor who was hidden in the Qingcheng Sect in the 'Penglai Sect'. Only my master and I know that there is no third person in the world besides this! This storyteller is indeed mysterious, even more mysterious than the legend. Sikong Lin didn't know his power, just pretending to be in the wind. I can't be as stupid as Sikong Lin. Since he said that the 'Qingcheng Sect' and 'Penglai Sect' are not simple, it must be very difficult..." If someone had known this secret, he would have killed someone to silence him, but he would not have dared to have any thoughts about the Qin Dynasty. These days, those who dared to be rude to the Qin Dynasty had long been taught a lesson by Xin Shuangqing, and a hero who called himself "Zhu Dao" also gave his life. Zhu Baokun
The new wave of people who came here did not know that Zhu Dao was involved in the five-year warrior competition between the Wuliang Sword Sect and other famous people in the southwest, and was involved in the war between the Shennong Gang and the Wuliang Sword Sect and joined the carnival that night, so he offended Xin Shuangqing and had long been included in the list of killings by Xin Shuangqing. The matter that day sounded bad, and Wuliang Sword Sect was defeated too badly. The matter that night was even worse. There were so many women from the Western Sect, only Xin Shuangqing saved his innocent body. Of course, Xin Shuangqing would not talk everywhere, nor would he allow others to talk everywhere. Zhu Dao not only talked bad things about the Wuliang Sword Sect, but also sold information about the Qin Dynasty everywhere and added fuel to it, which made the Qin Dynasty, who never killed people, want to kill him very much, let alone Xin Shuangqing, who had long wanted to kill him.
Sima Lin's eyes couldn't help but sweep towards Xin Shuangqing's delicate body, but he didn't dare to stay for too long. He had already found out about the relationship between Qin Dynasty and Xin Shuangqing's master-slave relationship, and was so jealous that he almost went crazy. What made him most depressed was that every time he collided with Xin Shuangqing's eyes, he felt inviolable and did not dare to look directly. But in a blink of an eye, when Xin Shuangqing looked at Qin Dynasty again, he felt so affectionate and charming that it made him feel like he was in a hurry. There were many people who had the same ideas as him, but no one was as bold as him.
"Hmph! I don't believe that you won't eat the beautiful woman you delivered to your door. I don't believe that she is really a jade girl. I..." Sima Lin said calmly without any hesitation: "My second question is, which are the 'four martial arts families in the southwest'?"
The Qin Dynasty answered with the standard answers from the past: "The Duan family of the Dali royal family ranks first among the "Four Martial Arts Families in the Southwest", Liu family, a descendant of Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, ranked second, Tang family, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty male royal family Li and the Zhou Dynasty female royal family Wu family, ranked third, and Qin family, a descendant of Qin Shihuang and Lu Buwei, ranked fourth."
"My third question is, who was the title of the 'Four Martial Arts Family in the Southwest'?"
"It is not a man who has enfeoffed it, but evolved from tradition. The standard is the twelve major conditions of "three inside and nine outside". As long as the four conditions of "one inside and three outside" are met, they are qualified to rank one of the largest martial arts families in the southwest; if they can meet the eight conditions of "two inside and six outside", they are qualified to rank one of the largest martial arts families in the Central Plains; if they can meet the twelve major conditions of "three inside and nine outside", they are qualified to rank one of the first martial arts families in the Central Plains."
"My fourth question is, who is the current 'First Martial Arts Family in Central Plains'?"
"Of course it is the Zhao family of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Apart from him, who can do the supreme position of the nine five in the world? Who else dares?" Qin Dynasty said in a decisive tone.
This is not the first time most people in the audience heard about it, but they still couldn't help but clean their ears, wondering if they heard it wrong? They couldn't help but wipe their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming? Although Zhao Xu, the current emperor of the Zhao family, has been the emperor for several years, he is still a child. The Empress Dowager Gao learned from Wu Zetian to rule the government behind the curtain and control the government. No matter how these two look at them, they are not like martial arts masters, let alone peerless masters. However, if it weren't for them, it would be even more impossible for others, because if others were
If you have that kind of strength, it would be strange if you don’t become an emperor or an empress yourself. Moreover, even if they don’t seize power, can Zhao Xu and Gao feel at ease with them... No matter how everyone reasoned, the Zhao family was not like a martial arts family. However, if it was not, it seemed even more impossible. Not to mention how they did not have good martial arts skills as the royal family, but only said that since the Duan family of the Dali Kingdom was a martial arts family, why couldn’t the royal family of the Song Dynasty... Everyone was completely confused.
