Today's 100th birthday banquet has progressed to this point, and finally reached the most critical point.
The words Meng Xiuyuan said and the things he did before were actually just to establish his "personality" in front of everyone here so that they would take the bait.
Originally, according to Meng Xiuyuan's character, he was not willing to do such troublesome things.
If you want to do what he likes, then you will definitely not talk too much nonsense. It will be most satisfying to slap all those who are making trouble down the mountain with one palm.
It's just that he has lived in the Wudang sect for ten years, and his master and brothers are very kind to him and always think about everything for him. Now that he has encountered a disaster, Meng Xiuyuan will naturally make some plans for them.
Most of the people who came to Wudang Mountain today are well-known figures from the so-called "well-known sect". If the Wudang sect wants to develop well in this Central Plains martial arts world, it cannot easily break up with them.
The best way is to take advantage of them so that they have no excuses and no face to attack the Wudang Sect.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan guided them in every possible way to let them make this bet with him.
Speaking of which, Meng Xiuyuan's strategic performances were not considered rigorous, let alone exciting. It was too difficult for a man who was honest at heart to manipulate people's hearts.
Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan has a natural advantage - youth.
Just like the two elders Xuan Ming who had been put aside by Meng Xiuyuan before, how could these people present really take such a young man of sixteen or seventeen years seriously?
You must know that according to common sense, young men of Meng Xiuyuan's age are juniors from various sects. Their kung fu is weak and they may not even be qualified to go out to travel in the world. Who would believe that he can really be a hidden master?
So, everything went in the direction Meng Xiuyuan hoped for.
"Senior Monk Kong Wen, will Shaolin Temple agree to Shaoxia Meng's conditions?" Kunlun Headmaster He Tai rushed to Kong Wen, bowed slightly, and asked with his mouth open.
It's just that although his words were asking, his tone was actually persuasive. After all, in his opinion, Meng Xiuyuan's words made it almost easy to find Xie Xun's whereabouts, but the bet was related to Shaolin Nine Yang Kung, so
I also need to seek Shaolin’s opinion.
Most of the people present also had the same idea as He Taichong.
"Monk Kongwen. Since Meng Shaoxia feels that he has been hurt and wants to prove it, let's give him a chance."
"Monk Kong Wen, you don't need to take action later, let me do it for you now. No one will say that you Shaolin bullies the juniors."
"Yes, that's right. When we learned about Xie Xun's whereabouts, we naturally wouldn't forget to inform the Shaolin Temple. After all, we have all heard of Monk Kong Jian's reputation for mercy. He died at the hands of the villain Xie Xun. It's really
It makes people sigh with regret.”
For a time, people from Kunlun, Kongtong, and even the Divine Fist Sect, the Sea Sand Sect, the Giant Whale Gang, etc. all spoke out to persuade Kong Wen.
Kong Zhi was anxious, so he leaned close to Kong Wen's ear and whispered:
"Senior Brother, please promise him quickly, otherwise it will be too late if the Wudang Clan goes back on their word later.
As long as we defeat that kid, the Wu-Tang Clan will have no excuse to ‘become a sworn brother’ and cannot deny it.”
Kong Wen was silent for a moment, looked up at Meng Xiuyuan and the Wudang Seven Heroes behind him, sighed, and finally said:
"Meng Shaoxia is young and it's normal to act impulsively. The poor monk didn't want to bully the younger ones.
It's just that Xie Xun's matter is really of great importance and there is no room for concern.
Our Shaolin Temple has accepted Meng Shaoxia’s bet."
As soon as Kong Wen finished speaking, there was applause from all around, and everyone present jumped for joy, as if they had obtained the whereabouts of Xie Xun and were ready to set off to find the dragon-slaying knife.
Meng Xiuyuan saw that he was striking while the iron was hot and said loudly:
"Among the seniors present, is there anyone who disagrees with my bet? This promise is certain, but I will never go back on it."
It was a moment when people were excited, and naturally they were greeted with responses such as "agree" and "no regrets".
Only Master Jingxuan of the Emei Sect waited for the sound to subside, then took a step forward and said to Meng Xiuyuan alone:
"Meng Shaoxia, I won't accept this bet in Emei.
Now that Master Zhang’s 100th birthday banquet has ended and all the blessings that need to be conveyed have been delivered, we won’t stay any longer.
I only hope that Meng Shaoxia can remember the promise and come to Mount Emei as soon as possible."
After saying that, Jingxuan turned around and took everyone from Emei down the mountain.
Emei's departure surprised everyone, but in their excitement, they didn't think much about it. They just said that the Wudang and Emei families had a good relationship.
Some people even think that it is a great good thing that there is no competition for dragon-slaying swords.
In short, this small episode did not affect the atmosphere in the hall at all.
Because Meng Xiuyuan said before that every time someone defeated him, he would tell someone the whereabouts of Xie Xun. Many of the minions who did not dare to come forward and were watching in the crowd could not help but become greedy at this time.
I have been practicing martial arts for half my life, but no matter how bad I am, can't I still deal with this sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid?
So, within a moment, several voices sounded.
"Meng Shaoxia, Liu Chong of the Divine Fist Sect, will teach you your brilliant moves."
"I have admired Wudang's reputation for a long time, and Li Jin of the Haisha Sect asked Meng Shaoxia to teach me."
"Hahaha, Chu Tianba, the third leader of the Giant Whale Gang, is here. Meng Shaoxia, how about we fight against each other?"
Immediately, the few people who spoke got out of the crowd and stood in front of Meng Xiuyuan.
Speaking of which, those who dare to speak up are naturally not small figures in their respective gangs. They are at least high-level figures in the sect and well-known figures in the world.
But Meng Xiuyuan had never been down the mountain, and he didn't remember such characters in the original work, so he didn't care and said casually:
"You three, please sit back.
Although I want to seek advice from various sects, it’s just that my qualifications are dull. I am not very proficient in the martial arts taught by my master, and I can’t send and receive it freely.
Therefore, my martial arts are too powerful, and with the martial arts of the three of them, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it and will be easily injured."
His words and gestures were naturally unbearable to the three people opposite him. They were all respectable people on weekdays, so how could they ever be looked down upon like this? What's more, the person involved was still a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Hmph!" "What a boy, you're so arrogant!" "Take a stab at my old Chu!"
The three of them were so excited that they rushed over to teach Meng Xiuyuan a lesson.
However, in the face of this situation, Meng Xiuyuan did not make any reaction. He still faced the three of them with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be frightened when the sword was about to attack him.
In an instant, several experts including Kong Wen, He Taichong and others were ready to take action, waiting to save Meng Xiuyuan at the last moment.
But the next moment, a thunderous sound exploded in everyone's ears.
"go back!"
This voice shocked everyone present. Those with poor concentration could not avoid shaking their bodies and almost jumping up from the ground. After calming down and thinking carefully, they found that this was Meng Xiuyuan's voice, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen.
But they didn't know that when Meng Xiuyuan shouted, he had actually used his inner strength to restrain his voice. What everyone present heard was just the tip of the iceberg.
Chu Tianba and the other three were the first to bear the brunt of Meng Xiuyuan's loud shout.
The three people who were rushing towards them suddenly stood up in response to the impact of the sound wave. They rolled back like gourds two or three times before they all collapsed to the ground.
"What's wrong, what happened?" "Ah, it hurts, my ear, my ear."
The three of them looked miserable, their bodies were covered in dust, and there was a slight flow of blood from their ears, nose and four orifices.
Upon seeing this, members of the Shen Fist Sect, Sea Sand Sect, and Giant Whale Gang rushed forward, fearing that Meng Xiuyuan would make another move.
Meng Xiuyuan was one step ahead of them. While raising his hand to indicate that he would not do anything again, he helped the three people who fell on the ground up.
"Don't worry, they just suffered some shock and were temporarily stunned. The injuries are not serious. Go back and recuperate, and they will be fully recovered in less than half a month." Meng Xiuyuan said and handed the three people into the hands of their respective disciples.
At this time, everyone present looked at Meng Xiuyuan, no longer daring to show the same contempt as before.
