On the Double Ninth Festival, many people in the world have the custom of climbing high, so early this morning there were many people from Dengfeng County and literati from far away climbing the mountain in groups.
However, the locals in Dengfeng found that there were many times more people climbing the mountain this year than in previous years, and many of them were in a hurry, carrying swords and weapons, and they looked like martial arts people.
A team of more than 200 nuns and dozens of women, not far from the monks, climbed the mountain from the side of Songyang Academy, attracting many people to look aside and avoid them. Some who believed in Buddhism even clasped their hands and bowed.
, or hold copper coins and silver in both hands to worship.
However, these nuns and monks did not accept offerings, they just chanted the Buddha's name a few times and continued on their way.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, several Songshan disciples had been waiting for a long time. They bowed and said: "Songshan disciples pay homage to Master Dingxian, the head of the Hengshan Sect, Master Dingjing, Master Dingyi, and senior Zen masters Dingding.
Mr. Zuo, the leader of our sect, is waiting for you all on the mountain."
It turned out that the group of monks and nuns who were marching up the mountain were disciples of the Hengshan sect. Master Dingxian and others said a few polite words and continued climbing.
When we arrived at Shengguan Peak, we saw another group of Songshan disciples, led by Di Xiu, the second disciple of Zuo Lengchan who was quite familiar with Zheng Gui.
After Di Xiu led his junior disciples to salute, he said: "The leaders and senior celebrities of the Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong, and Qingcheng sects will gather in Songshan today to participate in the ceremony to elect the leaders of the Wuyue Sect, and the Tianmen Master of the Taishan Sect.
Bob has arrived."
Zheng Gui saw that although Di Xiu and other disciples were respectful to him, they were no longer as close as before, so he didn't take it seriously. He casually asked a few questions about Songshan's situation and continued on his way.
After a stick of incense, we finally reached the top of the peak. At this time, there were hundreds of people at the peak. Zheng Gui recognized the Taishan sect and the Qingcheng sect. Seeing that there were two other groups also dressed in Taoist robes, he knew they were the Emei sect and the Kunlun sect.
Already.
The thirteen eunuchs were all wearing khaki robes and gathered around one place, standing behind a tall and thin man like stars over the moon.
Zheng Gui recognized at a glance that this long-bearded man with a pale face was Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect and the current leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.
Zuo Lengchan walked slowly in front of everyone in the Hengshan Sect, cupped his hands and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years. Master Dingxian's demeanor remains the same, and the true cultivation of Buddhist mind and nature is becoming more and more profound, which makes Zuo admire you!"
Master Dingxian didn't seem to hear Zuo Lengchan's sarcasm. She clasped her hands and said, "Leader Zuo is superb in Xuan Gong, but he looks younger than before."
Zuo Lengchan exchanged a few pleasantries with Master Dingxian and then looked at Zheng Gui and said with a smile: "Master Dingxian has established a branch in Hengshan and has many talented people under his command. He is indeed Master Cixin's favorite disciple at that time."
Zheng Guiwei: "Mr. Zuo is serious. In terms of martial arts and swordsmanship, the poor monk is far inferior to the three senior sisters, and the difference in Buddhism is even worse."
After a moment of verbal debate, a Songshan disciple came over and said: "Master, Shaolin Master Fang Zheng, Master Fang Sheng, Wudang Chongxu Taoist, Beggar Clan Master Jie and their disciples have arrived..."
Zuo Lengchan smiled and said: "The fact that the three of them came together is really a great blessing for our Five Mountains Sword Sect. I should personally welcome them."
Shaolin Wudang is the most famous sect in the martial arts world. Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Master Chongxu are more famous than Zuo Lengchan. The arrival of these two people is enough to shock the whole audience. Plus, the leader of the largest gang in the world,
As soon as the news came out, it immediately triggered a wave of discussion on the summit.
Zuo Lengchan quickly walked down the mountain with his thirteen Taibao, and many famous and famous people also followed him down the mountain to greet him.
The Hengshan Sect and Shaolin belong to Buddhist sects, so they should go down to greet him. However, the leader of the Hengshan Sect is a nun, so he naturally has to be more cautious in his actions. In the end, Zheng Gui went there with the disciples from the Baozhu Temple.
After a while, the heads of the three sects of Shaolin Wudang and the Beggar Clan were also welcomed up the mountain. Also coming up were the Huashan sect and the Hengshan sect. Since then, not only the Five Sacred Sword Sects had arrived, but also the heads of the major sects who had been invited to watch the ceremony.
, all the celebrities in the world are also in place.
Zuo Lengchan interrupted everyone's greetings with a loud voice and invited everyone to move to the Fengchan platform.
Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and then followed the Songshan disciples through Junji Temple and climbed to the Zen Fengdai at the top of Songshan Mountain.
This Zen Fengdai is the former site where Wu Zetian consecrated Zen. It is a neat stone platform on the top of the mountain. Songshan Sect disciples led many experts to stand around the Zen Fengchan Platform. Zuo Lengchan shook his clothes and walked up to the Zen Fengchan Platform.
Standing on the Fengchan platform, Zuo Lengchan's clothes were shrouded in clouds and mist, like an immortal flying through the void. He said loudly: "Thank you for your respect for Zuo and your visit to our Songshan Mountain. I am very grateful.
Today is the day when our Five Mountains Sword Sect convenes the Five Mountains Conference, in order to unify the opinions within the Five Mountains Sword Sect and re-elect the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.
Since Zuo was elected as the leader of the alliance at the last Five Mountains Conference more than 20 years ago, he has been working hard and fearing every day. Over the years, he has personally led his disciples to fight against the demonic sect countless times. The Songshan sect has suffered countless casualties in order to protect the orthodox sect.
, Junior Brother Xi, Junior Brother Sun and eight others were all killed or injured at the hands of the Demon Cult...
Zuo worked hard and devoted himself to the development of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but many people had doubts and thought they could do better than Zuo. Zuo did not want to cause fights between his roommates.
Unfortunately, we convened a Wuyue Conference and invited all our friends to bear witness. Our Wuyue Sword Sect re-elected the leader. After the new leader is elected, all factions must strictly abide by the orders of the new leader and must not disobey them again.
I have doubts..."
The wind was strong on Junji Peak, but Zuo Lengchan's voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears. He first expressed his achievements since becoming the leader of the alliance, then talked about the Five Mountains Conference that he was forced to convene, and finally made a decision
No matter who the new alliance leader is, the five factions have already obeyed the command and no more small thoughts are allowed.
What Zuo Lengchan said was reasonable and well-founded. There were two to three hundred people on the top of the mountain who were all friends and peripheral forces of the Songshan Sect. Hearing this, they naturally cheered together with the disciples of the Songshan Sect. Many of them even made slanderous remarks.
He insulted the monks and nuns with obscene words.
Upon hearing this, Master Dingyi's face darkened. She grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them at the cursers.
"Ouch……"
Master Dingyi was very good at martial arts, but he attacked with hatred. Seven or eight men had their teeth knocked out before they could react, and they fell to the ground with bleeding from their mouths and noses.
"Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, this is what will happen!"
Master Bujie hurriedly jumped into the crowd and caught out three swordsmen who had just spoken rudely to Hengshan. He slammed them to the ground and immediately broke their leg bones. He said sternly: "How dare you?"
Anyone who spits shit out of his mouth will die. Don’t think that the eminent monks from Hengshan can’t kill people!”
Master Dingyi and Monk Bujie punished several people with lightning speed. There was a sudden silence on the Junji Peak. Many people were shocked, knowing that the Hengshan Sect was no longer the Buddhist sect that did not care about worldly affairs.
There were three old men laughing. The one in the middle was one with a hooked nose and a yellow beard. He grinned and said: "The nuns of Mount Heng, the monks are so angry. If you want to be the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, you still have to learn from the magnanimity and magnanimity of Master Zuo.
If you press forward step by step, won't he still save face for you?"
Master Dingxian said: "The three of you are from the Qinghai sect, right? I wonder how Master Du is doing these days?"
The hook-nosed old man raised his brows and cupped his hands and said: "Du rarely travels around the world. As you know, Master Dingxian, he really has extraordinary means. No wonder he wants to compete with Brother Zuo for the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance."
The Qinghai School is a little-known sect in the Western Regions. Many people in the martial arts world only know that the leader’s surname is Du. Unexpectedly, Zuo Lengchan even invited Head Du and Qinghai School masters to the Five Mountains Conference.
Master Dingxian said in a low voice: "Junior brother, Zuo Lengchan has used all his strength this time. The Three Heroes of Northern Hebei, White Banner Evil Star, Qinghai Sect, Bu Chen, Sha Tianweng, Bai Yaomen... came to help him.
There are thirty or forty people from the side sect and evil sect, just in case..."
Zheng Gui glanced at the withered and short Master Fang Zheng, Taoist Master Chongxu with fluttering white beard, and the burly leader Jie Feng on either side of them, and said in a low voice: "These monsters can't find flowers, Fang Zheng
With Chongxu here, today we can only compete with disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Master Dingxian's eyes flashed with understanding, and he said: "In that case, junior brother, you can just let it go."
Zheng Gui didn't want to watch Zuo Lengchan ramble, so he immediately stood up and said: "Leader of the Zuo Alliance, fellow seniors, I think we don't need to quarrel. Today is the Five Mountains Conference. Our Five Mountains Sword Sect will elect a new leader. You, the Leader of the Left Alliance
If you want to be re-elected, just show your true skills."
Zuo Lengchan knew that all the four major sects were watching him at this time. Because of the interference of the monks and nuns of the Hengshan sect, the leaders of the other three sects had their own thoughts. No matter how angry he was, he could only pretend to be open-minded and said with a smile:
"Okay, Zen Master Dingding, please tell us how we can elect a new leader."
Zheng Guiwei: "When we elect the leader of the alliance, it is natural that we have to show off our skills, but if we use our hands to hurt our harmony, it will be unsightly. I think everyone in our Wuyue Sword Sect uses swords. Not only does this leader have high moral standards, but everyone admires him. Naturally, everyone admires him.
He also has the best swordsmanship, so I invite the five of you, Leader Zuo, Senior Brother Yue, Senior Brother Mo, Brother Tianmen Dao, and I, Senior Sister Dingxian, to compete with the swordsmanship of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. Who is better?
Naturally, he is the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance who is worshiped by the five sects."
The reason why Zuo Lengchan convened the Five Sacred Mountains Conference was because the Hengshan Sect and the Huashan Sect openly challenged the alliance leader. Whether Zuo Lengchan wanted to continue to promote the unity of the Five Sacred Mountains or to maintain the status and dignity of the alliance leader, the most appropriate way was to convene the Five Sacred Mountains Conference.
Conference, overwhelming everyone with irresistible strength.
Precisely because of his confidence in his own strength, Zuo Lengchan also knew that both Taishan and Hengshan sects had a wait-and-see attitude, so he was prepared to follow whatever moves the Hengshan sect made and defeat them.
After listening to Zheng Gui's suggestion, Zuo Lengchan looked at Master Dingxian who was there. He estimated that even with swordsmanship, he could be unrivaled in the Five Mountains, so he said in a deep voice: "Master Dingxian's suggestion is good, Zuo agreed.
, I wonder what Mr. Yue, Mr. Mo Da, and Brother Tianmen Dao think?"
At this point, Yue Buqun, Tianmen Taoist Priest, and Mo Da no longer tried to hide their secrets. They all agreed. Then Yue Buqun jumped up to the stone steps and said, "I believe everyone is very curious about why he used to live in peace with the world.
The Hengshan Sect suddenly had a party with Songshan in Hengshan County, and I, Huashan, also decided against Master Xian and the others to stand together to restart the Five Mountains Conference and re-elect the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Just now, the leader of the Zuo Alliance made a good statement. Since then, he has become the leader.
He has done a lot for the Five Mountains Sword Sect and our Orthodox Sect and made a lot of contributions, but he has evil intentions and wants to annex the other four sects. That is why we are determined to re-elect the leader of the Five Mountains Sect..."
Yue Buqun had a good reputation in the world. He openly exposed Zuo Lengchan's ambitions, which immediately caused thousands of people on the mountain top to talk.
Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu looked at each other, and Jie Feng whispered: "After today, Zuo Lengchan will never be the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains..."
Tang Yingja shouted and asked: "How can Mr. Yue slander my senior brother, the leader? Does he really think that our Songshan sect can be bullied?"
Yue Buqun had a rare moment of toughness. He said slowly: "Senior Brother Tang, don't be anxious. How dare Yue slander the leader of your sect."
"Deno, come up."
An old man with gray hair walked out from among the disciples of the Huashan Sect. He walked to the stone steps and stood still with his rickets.
Yue Buqun looked at Lao Denuo with lightning eyes, then looked at Zuo Lengchan, and said: "Lao Denuo, I, the second disciple of the Huashan Sect, have been my teacher for more than ten years, but until two months ago I
It was only after being reminded by Zen Master Hengshan Dingding that I found out that he was a spy sent to me by Zuo Lengchan, the leader of Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect. Come on, Denuo, tell all the seniors what your true identity is."
Lauderno closed his eyes and knelt down and kowtowed to Zuo Lengchan, saying: "I am the third disciple of Master Zuo. I was sent to Huashan to spy on intelligence. Master, my disciple was discovered by Master Yue...Master Yue. Please punish me, Master!"
Zuo Lengchan's expression changed, the thirteen Taibao all changed their colors suddenly, and Junji Peak suddenly became noisy like a frying pan.
Zuo Lengchan had the intention to disown Lao Denuo, but Luo Denuo actually obeyed Yue Buqun's advice and openly admitted his identity. The Songshan sect suddenly became the target of public criticism, and the heads of various sects were suspicious of him.
Zuo Lengchan's gaze made thorns pierce his back. He moved his sleeves slightly, wishing he could slap Laudno to death with one palm.
Mo Da and Taoist Priest Tianmen also jumped up the stone steps, and they looked at the disciples of their sect at the same time.
"Junior Brother Lu comes up to talk."
"Uncle Yujizi, Uncle Yuyinzi, and Uncle Yuqingzi, please come to the stage to speak."
Lu Lianrong and Yu Jizi's expressions changed slightly, but they did not dare to say anything in front of everyone, so they had no choice but to go on stage.
After the four people came up, Mo Da and Taoist Master Tianmen also began to list the crimes committed by the four people, naming the fact that they betrayed the master, colluded with Zuo Lengchan, and cheated on others.
Unlike Luo Denuo, Lu Lianrong, Yu Jizi and others did not bow their heads and plead guilty. Instead, they looked at Zuo Lengchan. Lu Lianrong even said: "Moda, you have become the leader but have done nothing. Senior Brother Zuo
He is the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. I am getting closer to him for the sake of our Hengshan Sect..."
The third Taoist priest, Yujizi, unceremoniously blamed Taoist Tianmen and even wanted to force him to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Although there were still quarrels on the Zen ceremony, everyone watching the ceremony already understood that the Songshan sect had actually infiltrated spies and bribed traitors in the Taishan sect, Hengshan sect, and Huashan sect. Zuo Lengchan had such tricks and actions.
To say that he did not annex the other four sects, no one would dare to believe that he wanted to unify the Five Sacred Sword Sects.
Zuo Lengchan and the disciples of the Songshan Sect looked increasingly embarrassed. Mo Da and Tianmen saw that the traitor still refused to admit his guilt, so they immediately took action. Mo Da's martial arts was far better than Lu Lianrong, and they defeated Lu Lianrong in more than ten moves, but Yu Jizi
The combined force of the three paths cannot be defeated by Taoist Master Tianmen alone.
After dozens of moves, Taoist Priest Tianmen was at a disadvantage. Upon seeing this, Tiansong, Tianbai and other confidants of the master shouted loudly, drew their swords and jumped onto the stone platform. Yu Jizi and the other three were subdued and captured in an instant.
