Chapter 9 Eagle and Dog Killing Conference (Part 1)
Qi Xuansu looked at the Ruyi List for a while and found a very interesting thing. All the Taoist people who are on the list are Taoist priests and their positions, while those in the court are given official positions or titles. Most people in the martial arts world use nicknames, such as "One-character Flying Sword", "Great Compassion Palm", "Wind Thunder Knife", "Entering the Lin Hu", "Laughing the King Kong", "Magic Three Counties", etc., either based on their weapons and skills, or their personalities, or their deeds.
Take Zhang Yuelu for example. If outsiders call him Master Zhang and the Taoist people call him Deputy Master Zhang, they are not domineering, but they are very important and do not have any boastful elements. Compared with the two, taking a nickname is somewhat suspicious of praising each other, and it is indeed a matter of deliberately giving a loud nickname to the people of the martial arts world, and they are gigging on their faces, which invisibly reveals a bit of a motley crowd.
Therefore, when people in the Taoist sect deal with people from the martial arts world, they will never say anything that their friends give them a nickname, but they will only say that they are a Taoist priest.
As for Qi Xuansu, although he was walking in the world, he was shameless and did not leave any name. This is not surprising. Qi Niang's reputation is limited to the Qingping Society, and outsiders have no way to know it.
Qi Xuansu finished watching the three lists and planned to stay in the restaurant for a while to see if he could find out about the "Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference".
Asking Zhang Yuelu for blessings, Qi Xuansu, who used to not like drinking, now barely likes to drink a few drinks. After asking the restaurant's shop for a pot of wine, he sat in an inconspicuous corner of the inn lobby.
This restaurant is not a Taiping Inn opened by Daomen, so there are many people coming and going. In a short while, the restaurant lobby was already full.
Qi Xuansu sat alone, opened his cloak, took off his hood, and exposed the Taoist robe inside. After all, he spent a lot of money to buy it. The workmanship was fine, and it could be regarded as a brocade dress. There were short swords and muskets hanging around his waist. In addition, Qi Xuansu's good air condition made people feel fear, but no one dared to provoke it rashly.
At this moment, the three of them came in and looked around. Seeing that the seat was already full, Qi Xuansu was left to occupy a table. He had to bite the bullet and bow, "Can you please join me?" ??
Qi Xuansu raised his hand: "Sit as you like."
"Thank you, thank you." After thanking each other, the three of them sat down and ordered two pots of wine. Seeing that Qi Xuansu was not a good person, they seemed to have no interest in talking, so they did not dare to talk rashly, but the three of them drank and chatted on their own.
A young man lowered his voice and said, "This 'Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference' is really a big scene. There is still one day before the day, and the city of Xiping Prefecture is already crowded with heroes.
.”
Another man with scars on his face said, "This is naturally. This time it was the 'Tian Ting' that took the lead. In addition, several major gangs joined forces, and the momentum was huge. Which one did not want to make friends with them? I heard that the 'Tian Ting' came to 'Feng Bo' this time. He is the direct disciple of the 'Tian Ting' and is one of the top ten elders of the 'Tian Ting'. If it weren't for such a grand event, how could ordinary people meet? This time, the 'Eagle Killing and Dog Slaying Conference' was held, and the heroes of the world naturally gathered and gathered, but it was lively."
The last man with a white beard sneered: "There are many friends in the world, but I'm afraid there are many Eagle Claw Suns. This time, people from the Ziguang Sect, Zhiming Sect and Lingshan Witch Sect were not invited, so the Taoist sect will not come, but Qingluan Guard may be."
The man who broke the preface said, "Be careful, the 'Tianting' dare not provoke the Taoist sect. Except for those three families, who dares to provoke the Taoist sect? The Taoist governments in various places have opened their doors, and no one dares to cause trouble. As for the Qingluan Guard, no matter how powerful it is, as long as the court does not send out the men in black, the Qingluan Guard can't make any big waves just by relying on the Qingluan Guard."
"That's right." The other two nodded in response.
The guests at several tables around were also from the world. After listening to the three of them chatting, they also joined in and said, "The Qingluanwei has indeed been arrogant over the years."
"It's not that the emperor nowadays valued Qingluan Guards, which makes them so arrogant."
"In the past, whether it was private salt or border tea and horse, these business operations were not easy to do, but at least they had a way out, but in recent years, it was difficult to do. Being caught was just a word of death."
"There is also the transaction of digging ginseng in Liaodong that is not easy to do. Qingluan Guard has added a few hundred households there, and he rode his horse back and forth with long guns every day. The brothers have to lie on the snow nest for a few hours before they can find an opportunity."
"You can't go out to sea. I heard that the Maritime Hall of the Taoist Sect recruits crew members, but it's too hard and tiring. That's fine. The key is that it takes several months to get on the boat, and it's like going to jail."
Someone whispered loudly: "The so-called 'killing eagles and slaughtering dogs' refers to Qingluanwei. These hawks and dogs in the court have been to harm many fellow practitioners in a year. They have already been angry with the public, so they responded to it."
For a moment, the inn seemed to be in an uproar. This friend who said he died in the hands of Qingluan Guard, the man who said he was shot by Qingluan Guard a few years ago.
The love is surging.
The restaurant shopkeeper's face turned pale and hurriedly said, "Everyone, please be careful. As the saying goes, right and wrong are just to speak more, and troubles are all due to forcing them to come forward. This is in the city, where the thousand households of Qingluan Guard are close at hand, so it is better not to cause trouble."
Although many people complain about Qingluanwei, they were also afraid of causing trouble, so they extinguished their voices.
In a moment, people checked the bill and left one after another. In a short while, a noisy restaurant had become deserted.
Qi Xuansu asked slowly, "I want to ask the three of you, where is the 'eagle killing and dog killing conference' you mentioned?"
The three of them looked at each other without rashly speaking, obviously afraid that Qi Xuansu was the person from Qingluanwei.
Qi Xuansu saw that they were worried and said, "The people of Qingluan Guard still use to inquire about news in the restaurant? Their ears and ears are so wise."
"What I mean is that the dog's nose of the Eagle Claw Sun is the most effective, and he has already smelled it." The young man couldn't help but say.
The other two thought that this was indeed the truth. How could Qingluan Wei not know about the news that they all knew, and then said, "Suan Sheng can't be held in the city, but choose to be on a hill outside the city."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "What's the name of Shangang?"
The man said in one breath: "In Jiuwagang, after leaving the city, go west, pass Wuliuji and Nanni Town, there is Tongmingji. If you walk a little further north from Tongmingji, you will be Jiuwagang."
"Thank you." Qi Xuansu nodded, threw down a handful of Ruyi money on the table, and went straight out.
However, Qi Xuansu did not rush to leave the city, but walked around the city again. Fortunately, Xiping Prefecture is the capital of a state and is quite prosperous. Qi Xuansu finally found a ready-to-wear shop, bought a dress of inconspicuous scholar clothes, then found an inn, changed into a cloak and Taoist robe with obvious Yujing style, folded it, put it in a bag, and carried it on his back so that people would not recognize him as a Taoist sect again.
After doing this, it was already dark and Qi Xuansu went out of the city.
Although it was Qi Xuansu's first time to come to Xiping Prefecture, as long as he knew the place name, he could always inquire about the past. After leaving the city, Qi Xuansu went west along Guanlu Avenue. At this time, there were many people rushing to Jiuwagang. Qi Xuansu casually asked someone to inquire about several place names, and after walking about a hundred miles, he arrived at Jiuwagang.
From a distance, the Jiuwagang is not high, only a little mountain
It's just a ridge, and there is a large open space on the top of the mountain. Although it means that the genius is on the day of the conference, many people are waiting here today. Because of the chilly spring, they are forming a circle of large and small to make fire.
Since Qi Xuansu got the magical martial arts, his blood and energy were strong. A little cold was nothing. So he jumped onto the top of a big tree and waited patiently.
As the next morning, many people came one after another, and more and more people gathered. By around noon, the people were already covered in darkness, leaving only a piece of open space and a high platform in the middle. Qi Xuansu sat on the treetops and glanced at it, and there were at least thousands of people. But I don’t know how many people from Qingluan Guards and how many people from secret associations are here.
After an hour, there was a sudden thunderous cheers around, and dozens of people surrounded an old man in green and walked into the open space in the middle.
The old man's white beard was floating, his air was not inferior to the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest who was not inferior to the Taoist sect. He climbed up a platform temporarily built with rocks, looked around, clasped his fists and said, "My fellow practitioners, you are polite."
Everyone stood up and returned the salute, and said in unison: "I have met 'Feng Bo'."
Only then did Qi Xuansu realize that the old man in front of him was the "Feng Bo" of the "Tianting" and seemed to be on the Taiping List. As for the specific ranking, I can't remember it.
Only the voice of "Feng Bo" was loud and said loudly: "My friends, we are here today. Everyone knows that it is for a big deal, which is to solve the murder of many of our fellow workers in the world in recent years. The culprit among them is the unforgivable..."
He whistled around: "Qingluanwei!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison, and they were really like thunder, shaking the mountains.
Then someone shouted loudly: "Eagle Claws!" It caused everyone to shout in unison.
Qi Xuansu felt that the big trees under him were shocked three times, and thought to himself: "Is the people from the 'Tianting' want to gather people from the Jianghu to deal with Qingluan Guard? Although there are more than a thousand people, such a number of people are really not to be underestimated. No wonder Qingluan Guard's personal army's chief lieutenant's office had to mobilize three thousand households, but in my opinion, it is probably not enough to have three thousand households."
At this moment, "Feng Bo" raised his hands and pressed down gently, and a mountain wind whistled past.
Everyone felt the breeze blew on their faces and had to keep silent.
In an instant, silence returned to the hills.
Chapter completed!
