Dafeng Night Watchman

Emperor Yuan Jing put away the note and ordered: "Notify Wei Yuan and ask him to come to the palace to see me... No, no need."

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

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

The old eunuch bowed and retreated.

........

Jianzhou is not in the northwest of Dafeng, it is adjacent to Leizhou in the west and Jiangzhou in the north. At the same time, because there are two canal transportation routes through Jianzhou, it is flourishing.

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

In all dynasties, the attitude towards Jianghu organizations is mainly to recruit and suppress. The obedient ones are recruited, and the disobedient ones are suppressed or eliminated. Only in this way can the dynasty rule be maintained and the world peace be maintained.

But there are always exceptions.

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

Since ancient times, Jianzhou has had a profound martial arts culture, with many gangs, including many "century-old brands" that have stood firm. 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 look for it in history books.

During the late Zhou Dynasty, the people were living in poverty, and heroes all over the world rose up and tried to overthrow the tyranny. Before Emperor Dafeng became famous, he was just one of the countless rebels.

He gathered hundreds of soldiers and horses, mainly to capture small counties, and then recruited soldiers.

At that time, several rebels had already become powerful and had a strong military force to rule one side. One of them came from Jianzhou.

The leader of this Jianzhou rebel was a third-rank warrior who rose in the war years and fought everywhere without a single defeat.

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

Using their respective armies as bargaining chips, they had a battle of wills between warriors.

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

The third-rank warrior has been extinct for hundreds of years, but the Wulin League has always claimed that he is still alive. This is the real confidence of the Wulin League.

"It turns out that the predecessor of the Wulin League was the righteous army..."

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

"According to the records, the founder of the Wulin League, a third-rank master, lost to the Emperor Gaozu of Dafeng. But the Emperor Gaozu had already passed away, so why is he still alive?"

It doesn't make sense that the stronger master died while the weaker one is still alive. We are all warriors, all equally vulgar, so 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 clearing the court of evil, and was a hero at the peak of martial arts.

But, he died a hundred years later......

"From the situation of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wuzong of Dafeng, it seems that warriors cannot live long? But if that's the case, how did that common man in Jianzhou live for hundreds of years?

"Is the Wulin League bluffing and deceiving the world? Impossible, if it is a lie, it can only deceive ordinary people at most, but not the court. But the court acquiesced to the existence of the Wulin League, indicating that it was afraid. The former leader of the rebel army might still be alive.....

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

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

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

"How did the founding emperor of Dafeng die?"

"He died of old age."

"....." Xu Qi'an choked and added hurriedly: "But, is the life span of a peak warrior the same as that of an ordinary person?"

"I, I'm not a warrior, I don't know..." Zhong Li whispered, she felt guilty for not being able to help Xu Qi'an solve his doubts.

So, forget it, it's not an urgent matter that needs an answer anyway...Xu Qian'an blew out the candle, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and teased with a smile:

"Come and sleep together?"

Senior Sister Zhong was still a virgin, so she ignored him.

.......

Jianzhou.

According to the Jiuzhou Geography, there is a mountain in Jianzhou, and in the mountain there is a beast with a human face and a beast body, six tails, and the ability to swallow the moon, named "Quanrong".

Quanrong Mountain is the headquarters of the Wulin League.

Rongrong, the Soul-Ecstasy Hand, followed her master and the owner of the building, and took a carriage to Quanrong Mountain, the sacred mountain in the minds of Jianzhou martial artists.

The owner of Wanhua Tower brought more than a dozen masters and came here in response to the call.

Wanhua Tower is mainly composed of women, all of whom are beautiful and charming. Those with good qualifications stay as direct disciples, and those with poor qualifications are married out.

Over the past hundred years, most of the top gangs in Jianzhou have more or less had marriage relations with Wanhualou.

"This time, Master will take you out to see the world. Remember not to show off. Just be a bystander." The beautiful woman told her disciple.

Rongrong, who was outstanding even among the beauties, nodded first, and then said unconvincedly: "Master, I am already a sixth-rank."

A sixth-rank person with a bronze skin and iron bones is also a mainstay in the martial arts world, and can be respected wherever he goes. Only a martial arts holy place like Jianzhou seems ordinary and not outstanding.

The beautiful woman shook her head: "Sixth rank is not good enough. In the next event, I am afraid that only those above the fifth rank can participate. Those below the fifth rank are probably the vanguards who will die."

The soul-stirring hand Rongrong's heart trembled, and whispered: "Master, what happened?"

As she spoke, the carriage stopped at the foot of Quanrong Mountain. The women of Wanhua Tower jumped off the carriage and looked up.

Quanrong Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, with steep peaks, rugged rocks, dense forests, centuries-old trees, and attics and courtyards.

Passing through the white marble archway at the foot of the mountain, Rongrong lifted her skirt and climbed the steps. She heard the master whispered: "You know the Earth Sect, right?"

Rongrong nodded.

The three sects of Taoism are the "immortal sects" in the world, the top forces in Jiuzhou, and the heads of the three sects are the existence that even the court has to be wary of.

"I heard from the host that there is a group of Taoist priests in the Earth Sect who cultivated a rare treasure called the Nine-Colored Lotus in Jianzhou. Not long ago, the rare treasure matured and the rays of light shot up into the sky. Alliance Leader Cao came to ask for the lotus root, but was refused and had a fight with the Taoist priests of the Earth Sect.

"Afterwards, the Wulin Alliance summoned all the major sects to encircle and suppress the Taoist priests."

Rongrong was shocked: "What is Alliance Leader Cao doing? Even if the Wulin Alliance is prosperous for thousands of years, it can't afford to offend the Taoist Earth Sect."

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

At this time, Rongrong heard the soft and cold voice of the host who led the way in front: "Silence. "

The master and the disciple stopped talking. Rongrong looked up and looked at the back of the owner.

The women in Wanhua Tower wore more open clothes. It was hot in summer, so they wore cool clothes. From Rongrong's angle, she could clearly see the owner's round and plump buttocks, a slender waist tied with a ribbon, and a smooth and graceful back curve.

The owner often covered her face with a young veil, with a pair of foxy eyes and a protruding figure. She was praised by the outside world as the "Oiran" of Wanhua Tower. Her charm was obvious.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain and entered the courtyard led by the league manager. The owner of Wanhua Tower walked through the courtyard and walked into the meeting hall, while the others stayed outside the courtyard.

Rongrong looked around in a low profile and saw many familiar faces standing in the courtyard.

Those who carried a sword were disciples of Mo Pavilion, including Master Liu and his master.

The one wearing green clothes is from the Shenquan Gang. The people of this gang have a very methodical way of punching, and they have recently accepted many female disciples with flamboyant personalities.

The one wearing gold and red clothes is from the Qianji Sect, who are good at using various hidden weapons and poisons, and their methods are treacherous and difficult to deal with.

The one covered in black robes is from the Feidao Sect. The flying knife is both a hidden weapon and not a hidden weapon. It is said that the leader of the Feidao Sect can control 108 flying knives.

When attacking and killing, it is upright and very impressive.

Rongrong silently retracted her gaze. There were as many as 18 Jianghu organizations present. Those who responded to the call of the Wulin Alliance and came to join forces were all masters, and there were definitely no minions.

The leader of the alliance is determined to get the nine-colored lotus... Rongrong thought to herself.

.......

Time passed by minute by minute. After more than an hour, the owner of Wanhua Tower came out first, followed by other sect masters and gang leaders.

Rongrong looked through the open door of the meeting room and saw a tall middle-aged man sitting on a high chair in the room. He was 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 and followed the owner and his fellow disciples out of the compound.

Arriving at the residence where Wanhua Tower was located, the owner summoned several elders, including the beautiful woman, to come into the house to discuss matters.

At dusk, the beautiful woman returned. Rongrong immediately took the master back to the room, closed the doors and windows, and asked: "Master, what happened?"

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

"The matter has been clarified. The Taoist priests of the Earth Sect lurking in Jianzhou are traitors of the Earth Sect. They stole the nine-color lotus and hid under the "protection" of the Wulin Alliance to avoid the pursuit of the Earth Sect.

"Not long ago, the strange treasure matured and strange phenomena appeared. The Taoist leader of the Earth Sect chased after him, but because he was afraid of the Wulin Alliance, he reached an agreement with Alliance Leader Cao that the two sides would jointly encircle and suppress the traitors of the Earth Sect, and the reward was a lotus root.

"Boss Cao promised the owner of the building that in the future, when the nine-color lotus is cultivated to maturity, all participants will be able to get lotus seeds. Haha, you may not know that this lotus seed is a rare treasure that can enlighten all things. Even ordinary iron can give birth to a spirit.

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

Enlighten all things.....Rongrong pursed her lips, her eyes flickered with greed.

Anyone would desire and covet such a treasure.

She frowned immediately: "If this is the case, why did Boss Cao summon us? With the power of the Quanrong Mountain Wulin League and the Earth Sect, it should not be difficult to wipe out the Taoist priests who defected. "

The beautiful woman nodded approvingly: "The Taoist priests who defected from the sect are naturally not a concern, they can be wiped out with a single move. What Boss Cao really needs to guard against is that the Earth Sect is untrustworthy. "

Rongrong suddenly realized.

........

On the other side, in the room where Mo Ge rested.

Young Master Liu was surprised and said: "Are the lotus seeds really so magical?"

Young Master Liu's master wiped his beloved sword and nodded:

"Of course, the treasure of the Taoist Earth Sect is so magical that it is not exaggerated. If I can get a lotus seed, I will use it to enlighten this sword. "

Master Liu's eyes immediately fell on the magic weapon that originally belonged to him. He swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously: "It will take sixty years for the lotus seed to mature. Master, don't worry, I will treat it well.

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

Master Liu did not refute, but nodded slightly and smiled: "I heard from the Pavilion Master that the Taoist who defected to the Earth Sect is not strong, but you can't be lucky. Don't participate this time, just watch the battle from the outside."

Master Liu nodded vigorously.

.......

Ten days passed in a flash, and the local officials of Jianzhou were shocked to find that many people from the underworld had come to Jianzhou during this period.

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

The prefect of Jianzhou realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly. The government hated the gathering of martial artists, which could easily cause trouble.

Immediately, the garrison troops were mobilized to strengthen defense and stand by outside the city at all times.

Then they sent people to gather intelligence and easily learned the location of the strange treasure, which was a villa in the far suburbs of Jianzhou City.

The government of Jianzhou felt relieved. As long as the melee did not occur in the city, they would not bother to care about the fighting between the martial artists.

In the villa, Taoist Master Jinlian stood on the attic, looking at the mountain road in the distance.

Bai Lian, who was white and beautiful, climbed up the attic and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, saying helplessly: "Just now, another group of martial artists fell into the maze and were knocked unconscious and tied up by our disciples.

"During this period of time, we have captured dozens of martial artists. These people are not guilty of death. If we kill them, it would be killing innocent people. If we don't kill them, keeping them is also a hidden danger. What should we do? "

Taoist Master Jinlian sighed and said, "This is Hei Lian deliberately spreading rumors..."

If it were other forces or other organizations, they would kill chickens to scare monkeys and deter the villains without hesitation when encountering such a situation.

But Taoist Master Jinlian and his men could not do this, because the Earth Sect cultivates merits and cannot kill without reason, otherwise they will have inner demons and fall into the devil's way.

"Hei Lian knew this, so he spread the news and attracted many people from the world." Bai Lian raised her white hands, put her black hair behind her ears, and sighed helplessly.

Taoist Master Jinlian smiled calmly, as if everything was under control as soon as possible, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, wait for a guy, if he comes, those mobs will retreat by 80%. "
