Time flies, and it is mid-winter in the blink of an eye.
Every year at this time, whether it is the people, the world, or the green forest, it is relatively calm.
There is no special reason, it is simply because when the weather was cold in ancient times, fewer people were active outside, and fewer people, so there were naturally fewer things.
But this year, that is, the 19th year of Yongtai, something big happened on the day of "heavy snow".
On this day, a shocking news spread throughout the martial arts world
Xiao Zhun, the owner of Wujian Villa, will "open the village to discuss swordsmanship" in half a month. Any swordsman in the world, regardless of his background, age, or martial arts, as long as he can be recognized by Master Xiao in the swordsmanship, he can become Xiao Zhun's "true disciple" and obtain his lifelong swordsmanship essence, as well as the treasure of Wujian Villa, the treasure of the village-keeping Shenxia Sword.
In addition, in order to "express justice", the owner of the village, in addition to letting "Swordsmen of the World" enter the village on the day of the sword contest, he also specially invited four famous celebrities from the world to be the "witnesses" of this event.
These four people are: the owner of the Liaodong Shendao Villa, Song Wudi; the head of Wudang, Wang Shilian; "Dazhong Zhizheng", Jiang Shouzheng; and the leader of the Cao Gang, Di Buyi.

What about this list... Actually, there are some problems.
What level of people are the top three?
Song Wudi, one of the few top masters in the martial arts world who have not yet retired, has already reached the realm of transformation of swords. His commanding Divine Sword Villa is also powerful in Liaodong and famous in the world.
Wang Shilian, known as "The King of Dao Swords and One King", is considered to be the head of Wudang's martial arts closest to that of the former "Zhang Zhenren" in the past 30 years. There is no need to say more about the background of his sect.
Jiang Shouzheng, the world's "Dazhong Zhizheng", is a hero with great fame in the past decade. He is known for his fair work and selflessness. Back then, Jiang Daxia and the "Seven-Star Sword" Fan Zhengting were called "Fan Jiang Erzheng". Many sects or individuals in the martial arts world like to mediate disputes between them. Until Fan Zhengting suddenly disappeared in a few years and has since disappeared from the martial arts world. After that, Jiang Shouzheng became the only one who has already become a "principal".
Compared with the above three, although Di Buyi is the leader of the strongest gang among the three gangs of the four sects, his position in the martial arts and martial arts world seems to be a little bit worse... If he had successfully become the "General Sect Leader" during the last "Seven Heroes", it would be fine. However, due to the trouble of the double harmonies, this matter is still on hold.
But no matter what, Di Buyi was very happy to be invited to be one of these four "witnesses" this time. He still felt: I didn't expect that Master Xiao would look down on me so much. He actually put me and those three together? Then I have to seize the opportunity to make friends with him. If I can become an ally with Wujian Villa, I will dominate the martial arts world just around the corner.
He thought so...
In Xiao Zhun's mind, this is not the case at all.
A friend with a good memory may still remember that when Sun Yixi was in Weihai's "Two Dramas Kang Haijiao" a few months ago, he instilled some wrong information into the spies of Wujian Villa. After the information was turned around, he arrived at Xiao Zhun and was interpreted by Xiao Zhun again...
Master Xiao’s thoughts are so meticulous and his ideas are so divine. We have mentioned the story before when Xie San’s boss was plotted... Therefore, based on the conclusion that Kang Haijiao joined the Cao Gang when he was young, and after leaving the Cao Gang for several years, Xiao Zhun suddenly made great progress in martial arts. Then he came to surrender to himself and wait for this series of information, he analyzed the conclusion that “Kang Haijiao may be the long-term undercover agent arranged by Di Buyi to him.”
Based on this conclusion, Xiao Zhun naturally regarded Di Buyi as an enemy who had been secretly coveting himself from the beginning.
This time, Xiao Zhun invited Di Buyi to come, just to drag the enemy in the "dark place" to deal with it. From Xiao Zhun's perspective, his hand was called "using the trick" and "rebel against the generals", and he had no intention of showing good to Di Buyi.
As for the other three, Xiao Zhun asked them to have a purpose.
Needless to say, Song Wudi is said to be the "Two Villages in the World", but everyone knows that the Divine Sword Villa has always been vaguely suppressing one end of Wujian Villa. "Song Wudi"'s martial arts are also recognized as higher than the "Sword Master". This is called "old enemy"... If Xiao Zhun successfully becomes the "Sword Demon", is there any one who is more suitable for testing swords than the Song family?
As for Wang Shilian, it was not that Xiao Zhun wanted to invite him, but that one of Xiao Zhun's "friends" asked him to invite him. I think you have guessed that this friend of the owner of Xiao was the one who helped him give Xie Run the "life thief" in the previous article. At the same time, this person is also the master of the corpse, and the Taoist name is "Zhuo Lian Zhenjun".
This person, even a "demonic way" with some great ability...
The title of "Huo Lian Immortal" by Zi Yanzi was named by himself, and at most it would be considered a nickname, but his master, "Huo Lian True Lord", is a true Taoist name. Just listening to Ming'er, he knows that it is much more powerful than that Zi Yanzi.
But how did he and Xiao Zhun get together? Let’s talk about this later, and then continue to talk about the third person...
The third Jiang Shouzheng has a very important role.
Xiao Zhun wanted to become a sword demon, and he would have to start a massacre on the day of the "sword debate". In this way, it would be difficult to guarantee that one or two fish that escaped the net would leak the truth of the day. At this time, he needed someone like Jiang Shouzheng to come forward.
Speaking is an art.
As a hero, you only need to know martial arts and benevolence and righteousness.
But when you are a hero who is hypocritical and respected by everyone, you have to be able to speak.
Jiang Shouzheng is very good at speaking, and people like to listen to him and are willing to believe what he says.
His upright and selfless face, his upright and arrogant tone are both talent and the result of continuous training.
As long as he is willing to speak for Xiao Zhun and "testify" for Xiao Zhun, he does not need to talk about any evidence, and the testimony of other people cannot be compared with his.
Then why did he speak for Xiao Zhun?
Very simple... Although most people in the world don't know it, Xiao Zhun knew very well that the so-called "Fan Jiang Erzheng" back then were both hypocrites.
Fan Zhengting has been missing for many years, 80% of it is no longer alive, and no one cares. However, Jiang Shouzheng has been active in the world over the years.
Jiang Shouzheng is a person who is greedy for life and fears death, loves money and lust. He is also a hypocrite who is greedy for vain and is very fond of merit. For people like this, Xiao Zhun has some ways to let him do his job for him.
Let’s talk about it for a long time. Once the news of Wujian Villa was released, the Central Plains martial arts world was in a panic.
The disciples of high sects are fine. If they have sects in charge, they will not do anything randomly, but those small sects and scattered soldiers and brave men in the world... there are many thick-skinned people. No matter whether they know sword skills or not, they dare to call themselves swordsmen when they buy a sword and hold it.
Most of them didn’t really think that they could be attracted by Xiao Zhun when they were “sword contests”, but to join in the fun. After all, they said that they could enter the village just by being a “swordsman”.
In the past few days, weapons shops and blacksmith shops in various places have undoubtedly made a profit from the short-selling inventory in the store, and there are too many expedited orders for sword fighting that cannot be arranged. The price has increased by 20 times and people are willing to give it to them.
Fortunately, the big soldiers, the Jinyiwei and the army are basically equipped with knives or weapons, otherwise even the armory may be stolen.
Of course, this wave of storm has not lasted for a long time. In total, it took half a month. Many people still have to go to Lingnan from their locations. The time on the road is very tight, so there is no extra time to play swords. Some of them are really unsuccessful.
But there is also that iron one, and you have to go without a sword. So what will happen to them... It is conceivable.
In just half a month, on the roads to Wujian Villa, there are villages and towns near the villa. There are swords and swords everywhere, and bloody storms and "sword grabs" happening one after another.
Some are thieves, some are just robbed openly...
If you are a famous swordsman, it may be safer. If you are not very famous, or you just bought a sword and ran here a few days ago, then you have to be careful. Maybe you sit down and rest, eat, or even shit, you will be attacked or even besieged. Moreover, most people who can do such things will not tell you any kindness and righteousness, and most of them will kill you if you grab the sword.
It is in such an atmosphere that the days of "sword debate" are getting closer.
On the day of the winter solstice, that is... the day before the "sword debate".
A small group of people came to a village near Wujian Villa in the wind and snow.
There are six people in this industry, and you all know them: "The Master Caotang" Wen Yuzhai, "The Sword and Sword" laughed without any success, "Canglong Zang Peak" Haicang Peak, "Blunt Sword" Jiang Muchan, "Huanyuan Sword" Lin Yuancheng, and the killer "Three Character King".
Someone may ask when he saw this, Linghu Xiang, who had gone to Beijing with Kobayashi, and where were our two protagonists at this time?
