This room is spacious and bright, and it is also very clean. However, there are various and bizarre wood carvings placed everywhere on the table, wall, and at the end of the bedside table. There are dozens of them. Chai Lin entered.
When Menlai saw it at first sight, he couldn't help but be startled.
Hua Bushi naturally saw the surprise in Chai Lin's eyes and smiled: "A few days ago, I was obsessed with the art of wood carving. I carved a total of more than a thousand finished products. I carefully selected the more delicate and beautiful ones and placed them in the house.
Quan is used as a decoration, but it makes Brother Chai laugh."
After hearing Hua Bushi's explanation, Chai Lin couldn't help but laugh. To be honest, these wood carvings can be considered "meticulous", but the word "beautiful" cannot be mentioned at all. Not only are they not beautiful,
Chai Lin has never seen anything uglier than these wooden sculptures.
And these things were carefully selected by Hua Bushi from the more than a thousand finished products he had carved. Chai Lin couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and vision of this young master Hua Da.
The two sat down at the table. Hua Bushi picked up the purple clay pot on the table, poured a cup of tea, put his hands on Chai Lin, and said: "Before, in Nan'ao Town, I had to thank Brother Chai for saving me.
Later, my brother sent Peng San to accompany me to Wanyi Island. He also helped me a lot. It is difficult to repay such a kindness. Now I can only offer a cup of tea to express my feelings for Hua Bushi.
gratitude!"
Chai Lin said: "Young Master Hua, why are you so polite? I am a friend of Sima Daxia. Chai's help several times was actually just to fulfill the promise he made to Sima Daxia. It is a pity that Nan'ao Chaiyuan is not strong enough, and in the end he still
It was difficult to protect him fully, so Hua Laodi went through risks and almost had an accident. Speaking of which, Chai Lin is really ashamed."
Hua Bushi said: "But I don't know when Chu Yiyi and his disciple Bai Yiling returned to the mainland, and what was the specific situation when they arrived at Brother Chai's house?"
Chai Lin said: "It's a long story. I'll wait for Chai to explain it to Brother Hua."
In recent months, Hua Bushi and his party have been living on Okura Island. The storm at sea has not subsided. Okura City has completely cut off communication with the Middle-earth continent, and no news from the mainland can be transmitted. In fact, this
Over the past few months, the Jianghu sects in various realms of the Ming Dynasty have stirred up turmoil, and its intensity is almost as intense as this great storm in the South China Sea.
That day on the southern cliff of Wanyi Island, Hua Bushi was abducted by men in black. The entrance to the secret tunnel was exploded by gunpowder in an instant, blocking the pursuit of Tang Zilin and other masters. However, a hurricane and thunderstorm had arrived, and the tide
They rushed to the foot of the hillside outside Wanyi Manor. The opportunity was fleeting, and it was urgent to blast the rocks and launch the treasure ship into the water.
Peng San, Chu Yiyi and Bai Yiling had no choice but to follow Tang Zilin and other masters back to the treasure ship. However, everyone's subsequent plan to escape on the treasure ship went very smoothly. The Deputy Hall of "Perak Hall"
The main Lei Zhentian detonated the gunpowder, which immediately blew up the boulder and caused the treasure ship to slide into the sea water.
However, the huge sound of the explosion frightened Hai Hongzhu and almost caused him to fall down. Lu Qiuhong also took the opportunity to make a surprise attack, injuring Zhu Hong with his palm and grabbing the "Panlong Jue". However, this was what happened on the "Qing Chi".
Something happened.
Lu Qiuhong originally arranged for the "Three Spiritual Turtle Immortals" to return home and hundreds of disciples from the Wanyi Sect to block the ocean from the island in a sailboat to block Tang Zilin's treasure ship. However, people are not as good as God.
Forget it, under the sudden change of the situation, the giant battleship "Black Dragon Palace" suddenly appeared, opened fire and bombarded the "Qing Chi", shot down Lu Qiuhong into the sea, and forced the "Qing Chi" to raise its sails and escape, and was violently rolled up
Enter the hurricane dragon's mouth.
Seeing the destruction of the Qing Chi and the death of the leader, the other members of Wan Yi's sect could not afford to intercept the treasure ship. Everyone just wanted to run away to save their lives, and they were scattered. Even the three elders who returned home lost their fighting spirit and ordered to be transferred.
The bow of the ship fled in all directions. This gave Tang Zilin and other members of the various factions a chance to escape. Peng San controlled the treasure ship to sail at full speed and took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement.
It is very dangerous to sail in a storm, but with masters such as Peng San who are proficient in navigation skills, everyone on the treasure ship worked together and experienced many risks, and finally passed through the storm of hundreds of miles. Six days later, the treasure ship has arrived.
Along the coast of Guangdong, we docked at a beach.
Hundreds of masters from the seven major sects of the Central Plains and sects from various realms who participated in the Wanyi Conference were able to unite and cooperate in order to escape when they were trapped on Wanyi Island. However, once they escaped from danger, they returned to the mainland.
, the temporary alliance formed on the island collapsed.
In this Wanyi Conference, sixty Jianghu sects from all realms not only returned in vain, but also lost many people. Huashan and Kongtong sects even lost an elder and suffered heavy losses. Among them,
The culprits are undoubtedly "Wanyi Sect" and Lu Qiuhong.
As the saying goes, every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and these Jianghu sects are not good at all. How can they be willing to let it go?
Within a few days, all the Baidao sects issued notices to be punished, and Wan Yimen became the number one public enemy in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts community overnight, with everyone shouting for death. All over the country, in big cities and small towns across the country, if there were any
If a disciple of Wanyi Clan is discovered, his head will be chopped off within a few seconds to collect the reward.
The head of an ordinary disciple under Wan Yi's sect was marked with a red reward of 3,000 taels of silver, and the reward for Lu Qiuhong's head was as high as 100,000 taels. Unfortunately, although the reward was high, after dozens of days, the real owner was not found.
One, but a lot of sneaky gangsters were accidentally killed.
These martial arts sects did not know that Lu Qiuhong had died at sea a long time ago, and his body was nowhere to be found. Of course, there was no possibility of being found. The Wanyi Sect was originally the most secretive sect in the martial arts world, even if there were still disciples on the mainland
Above, he has already disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues for tracing.
The various sects were busy for a month, but could not find any trace of their enemies, and they had nowhere to vent their anger. A month later, a gap occurred among several famous sects, resulting in internal strife. The source of the internal strife was
They are two of the seven sects, the Kongtong Sect and the Tang Sect, and the cause is a public case about the murder of the elder Weng Yibai.
Weng Yibai acted as a guest on Wanyi Island that day, tried to detonate gunpowder, and attacked Qin Sang of the Emei sect, almost killing her. Thanks to the timely arrival of Tang Zilin and Shaolin master Yuanjue, Qin Sang was saved.
, while Weng Yibai was intercepted by the Wudang Sect's Baojing Zhenren when he was running away, and died with a sword through his heart.
After the treasure ship docked and people from each sect landed, several disciples from the Kongtong sect who came with Weng Yibai returned to the mountain to report back to the sect.
Since he was a traitor and a traitor, it was natural for him to be killed on the spot. The Kongtong sect had no objection to Weng Yibai's death. However, Weng Yibai was one of the eight elders of Kongtong and had a high reputation among the sect.
, was accused of having an affair with Lu Qiuhong and the murderer of the masters of various sects. Everyone in the Kongtong sect did not believe it.
Moreover, for the Kongtong Sect, which considers itself a well-known and upright sect of chivalry, this matter is not only related to the life and death of an elder in the sect, but also the reputation of the sect.
Fei Yunzi, the head of the Kongtong Sect, is over forty years old. He has always been known in the world for his eagerness for justice and his love for justice. He has extremely high martial arts skills and a fiery nature. He can never tolerate sand in his eyes. He is a black and white person who no one in the world dares to do. He provoked a tough character, and this mute man couldn't swallow it.
As soon as he heard the report from the disciples who had returned to the mountain, Fei Yunzi went down the mountain in person and led several of his elders to the Hubei border. He went to the Taihe Temple in Wudang Mountain and wanted to confront the master of Wudang Qingyan Palace, Baojing Zhenren, who stabbed Weng Yibai to death. Kongtong and Wudang have been allies for many years. They are both Jianghu sects supported by the Ming Dynasty. The leader of Kongtong came to visit in person, and the Wudang sect treated each other with courtesy. The master of Baojing did not hide anything, and Cheng Weng faced him. Yibai was indeed killed by him.
However, Master Baojing was not sure whether Weng Yibai was really a guest of Wanyi's family.
According to the words of the Wudang Qingyan Palace Master, on Wanyi Island that day, everyone had elected Tang Zilin, the deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect, as the head of the alliance of various factions, and followed his lead, while Baojing Zhenren was only ordered by Tang Zilin Act, intercept Weng Yibai outside the courtyard wall, and kill him. As for what happened in the courtyard, whether Weng Yibai is really the ghost, Baojing Zhenren has no idea.
As a result, the responsibility of killing Weng Yibai fell on Tang Zilin again.
Fei Yunzi, the leader of Kongtong, immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the Tang Sect in central Sichuan to question the matter. Fei Yunzi and Weng Yibai were brothers from the same school and had a close friendship. The words he used in this letter were quite interesting. It was extremely violent, implying that Tang Zilin was accused of being indiscriminate, slandering Elder Kongtong as a traitor, and killing people indiscriminately.
To talk about what Weng Yibai did in the warehouse where gunpowder was stored in Wanyi Villa that day, and that he thought he was a guest, there was no shortage of witnesses. In addition to Tang Zilin, there were also Shaolin master Yuanjue and the female warrior of the Emei sect. Qin Sang was present.
It's just that the Emei Sect and the Tang Sect have always been allies, so Fei Yunzi thought Qin Sang's testimony was insufficient. However, after Master Yuanjue returned to the mountain from Wanyi Island, he immediately closed the life and death meditation. Within a year, He will never go out to see anyone, so he can't testify.
Regardless of whether Master Yuanjue was in seclusion at this time intentionally or not, Tang Zilin could not find any other witnesses for the killing of Weng Yibai for a while. However, the Tang Sect in Sichuan was a member of the martial arts sects in the southwest. The leader of the alliance, Fei Yunzi of the Kongtong sect, was arrogant and domineering, but the Tang clan was not easy to deal with, and the reply he wrote to Fei Yunzi was not very polite.
After several letters and negotiations between the two sects, they could not reach a compromise, but instead aroused hostility. Each of them mobilized their masters, and if they failed to make sense, they decided to use force to compete.
Kongtong and the Tang Clan are both dominant forces, and each has strong allies. The Wudang Clan is of course on the side of Kongtong, while the Emei Clan will definitely support the Tang Clan in Sichuan.
In addition to these four sects among the "seven sects", there are hundreds of large and small Jianghu sects in the southwest and northwest, all of which have alliances with Tangmen and Kongtong. If the two sides turn against each other, it is very likely that they will It will trigger battles among the Bai Dao sects in most of the Ming Dynasty.
In the following months, the masters of Tang Sect and Kongtong did not attack, but there were several fights and conflicts on the border of Sichuan and Hubei. The ones who attacked were small sects belonging to the alliances of both sides. These sects usually There was quite a conflict between them over the competition for territory, so they took advantage of this opportunity to seek their own interests.
Although these conflicts were not major, dozens of people were killed or injured. The two forces were mobilizing experts, gathering strength, and preparing for a larger-scale fight. Suddenly, the situation seemed like a storm was about to come, and the drama between the two major alliances
The fight is about to break out.
Compared with the four sects of Tangmen, Emei, Wudang and Kongtong who are not giving in to each other and are always ready for a big fight, Shaolin, Putuo and Huashan among the "seven sects" are completely silent, presenting a picture of two different sects.
Help each other and sit back and watch.
The major Baidao sects in the Central Plains Wulin are divided into a tripartite alliance. Now the two parties are fighting. As the third party, Shaolin and other sects are happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and take advantage of them. Perhaps this is why Master Yuanjue cannot retreat.
the real intention.
In addition to the many rivers and lakes forces that are attached to the seven sects, most of the small and medium-sized sects in various realms that have not formed alliances with them are also panic-stricken. They have restrained their disciples not to cause trouble and try to keep a low profile, for fear of acting carelessly at this time.
, and suffered the disaster of Chiyu.
Only the "Evil Dog Sect" is different from other sects. They don't care about keeping a low profile, just because the eldest young master Hua Bushi has been lost.
As soon as Chu Yiyi landed in Guangdong, he used the communication channel of "Qianhuafang" to send letters to "Evil Dog Gate" at the main altar in Wuyang City in western Hunan and the Changsha branch, informing Hua Bushi that he was on Wanyi Island.
The matter of being separated. When Hua Tianxiong received a letter and heard that his beloved son was missing, he was so anxious that he immediately took his master Mo Wentian, his second uncle Hua Dihu and several disciples and rushed to Guangdong day and night.
When Hua Tianxiong and others arrived at Nan'ao Town, Yang Jiangyi also arrived at almost the same time. According to Hua Bushi's original arrangement, she was responsible for commanding and training the forty-nine "Qingyun Guards", along with Yu Qianli and Ximen Tong.
, Li Hu, were guarding the Evil Dog Gate in Changsha City. When he learned the news that the young master was missing, Yang Jiangyi was extremely anxious, but could not wait for a moment, and ordered "Qingyun Guards" and Yu Qianli to wait.
The man stayed behind to share the helm, while he headed straight for the Cantonese border alone.
At this time, Chu Yiyi and Bai Yiling had found Chai Lin, the owner of Nan'ao Chaiyuan, and sent many people to the coastal areas and islands in Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang to search for the whereabouts of Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi and his party were caught in the hurricane and drifted to Okura Island thousands of miles away. Of course, these searches were in vain and nothing was found. This made Hua Tianxiong, Yang Jiangyi and others anxious. Especially
It was Hua Tianxiong. Whenever he heard the returning disciples reported that they could not find Hua Bushi, he would get angry and scold the visitor. If Mo Wentian and others had not tried their best to stop him, this evil dog disciple would have been
The Lord's fiery temper might have killed someone long ago.
Two months later, the big storm in the South China Sea finally calmed down. Hua Tianxiong was eager to find a big ship to go to sea and go to the waters where Wanyi Island was located to search for the whereabouts of Hua Bushi.
When Chai Lin left Nan'ao Town and came to Okura Island, Hua Tianxiong and everyone from the Bad Dog Clan had found a large sailboat, organized sailors, and Peng San was driving the boat, and were about to go out to sea to find the person.
In the bedroom in the east wing of the Veitian Building, Chai Lin recounted what had happened in the past few months one by one. Hua Bushi listened. Although the look on his face was as usual, his heart was not at peace.
This time when he went to the sea to attend the Wanyi Conference, Hua Bushi did not expect that so many changes would happen. As a result, he was separated and lived on this isolated island for several months. He also alerted his father Hua Tianxiong to come from Hunan.
Going to Guangdong made his old man anxious and angry, which made Hua Bushi feel very guilty.
He immediately said: "Brother Duomeng Chai told my younger brother all this news. Hua Bushi has something to ask for. I wonder if Brother Chai can agree."
Chai Lin said: "Brother Hua, it's okay to just say it."
Hua Bushi said: "I would like to ask Brother Chai to send his men to sail out to sea immediately, find my father in the waters of Wanyi Island, and report the news of my little brother's safety to his old man, so as to save my father from worrying about my little brother's safety.
"
Chai Lin said: "Chai certainly understands Brother Hua's mood. Don't worry, I will definitely send a ship to the Wanyi Island area immediately as my brother said and inform Head Hua of the news."
Hua Bushi stood up and bowed his head and said: "If so, Hua Bushi would like to thank Mr. Chai!"
Chai Lin also quickly stood up, stretched out his hand to support her, and said: "You and I are friends, why should we be so polite about such trivial matters?"
The two of them sat down at the table again, and Hua Bushi served tea to each other again and said, "Brother Chai came to Weitianlou today, presumably not only to inform me of these things, but also if you have any further instructions, please feel free to do so."
Hua Bushi said."
When he was in the front hall earlier, Chai Lin had said that he wanted to find a quiet and safe place to talk. If it was just to tell Hua Bushi these things, there was no need for it. There must be other secret things to say. This young master is scheming.
Linglong, how could you not see it?
Chai Lin said: "Chai, during this trip, there is indeed something he wants to talk to Master Hua about. This matter is very important, but it is related to the safety of Okura City."
Hua Bushi said: "Although I have only been in Okura City for a few months, I have seen that this city is very stable. The 'Wanjintang' helps everyone to defend it firmly, and the residents in the city can live and work in peace and contentment. It is a rare peaceful paradise."
