The seats in the Daxiong Treasure Hall are clearly divided between the host and the guest, not only the seats of the host and the guest are clearly distinguished, but also divided into three, six, nine and so on in the respective seats of the host and guest.

In the seat of the master of the east head, the current Shaolin abbot Master Huizhen sat in front of the Nanwu Disaster Elimination and Life Extension Medicine Buddha on the right side of the three Buddha statues in the innermost.

The abbot is an absolute leader in the temple, which is undisputed, and on his left and right sides, except for the Shaolin abbot Master Huiguang sitting on the right side, there are several empty positions, and I don't know who is reserved for them, in short, it should be a senior monk in the Shaolin Temple, because this is the chairman.

Across these vacant seats, dozens of monks from the Shaolin Temple sat in turn.

Others do not need to know the Dharma names of these monks, but only know their status and status in the Shaolin Temple according to their seats, and the closer to the temple gate, the lower their status. It's just that since only a few dozen monks can sit in this Daxiong Treasure Hall, you don't need to guess to know that these monks are not ordinary Shaolin disciples, and they must have positions in the temple.

The seats of the guests are all ranked in the west, the same is the closer to the position of the three Buddha statues, the more honorable, next to the left of the three Buddha statues, the position of the Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha is the most respected seat of the guests, sat by Zhou Dong, there is no dispute, there may be people in this world whose martial arts are similar to Zhou Dong, but the fame will definitely not be greater than Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong's next seat is the head of the Kunlun faction, Tianmu Daoren, and the next is the head of several big gangs, such as Wu Changfeng, the elder of the beggar gang, Kong Mingzi, the head of the Kongtong faction, Duanmu Yu, the head of the Nanhai Sword faction, Yuan Zhentao, the leader of the Yellow River Gang, Luan Tingyu, the chief teacher of Zhujiazhuang, and the abbot of Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain.

The martial arts in this era are different from the martial arts a hundred years later, and there is no such thing as the six major schools and the eight major schools.

The three major forces are naturally Fang La, Wang Qing and Tian Hu, each of these three forces has its own side, and the martial arts sects in the sphere of influence either take refuge in Shun or move away, and it is not possible to be unique.

Therefore, in the three major regions of northern Zhejiang, Huainan, Hunan, Hubei and Guizhou, and central Jinzhong, there are very few martial arts sects that can be independent, and even if there are, most of them are also secluded in the countryside and do not ask about the world, such as the Murong clan of Gusu Yanziwu;

In addition to the three most powerful gangs, there are two major gangs with profound heritage, that is, the beggar gang and the Yellow River gang. The beggar gang does not need to go into details, just say that the Yellow River Gang, although it is not as full of disciples as the beggar gang, but it controls most of the waterways in the Yellow River basin from Ganshan to Henan, Hebei and even Shandong, so it occupies a place in the martial arts.

Under the two major gangs are the two sects of the Royal Boxing Gym and the Shaolin Temple. It stands to reason that Shaolin Temple has a longer history than the Royal Boxing Gym and should be ranked first, but how can the Royal Boxing Gym be opened in the capital, and it has obtained an official business license, which is equivalent to a martial arts teaching institution with an official background, coupled with Zhou Dong's personal influence, it is not an exaggeration to call it the first martial arts faction in the world, even if it is inconvenient for the two major gangs to compete with it, so Zhou Dong can sit in the guest of honor.

On the other hand, Shaolin Temple, in the current emperor's concept of worshipping Taoism and suppressing Buddha, is very aggrieved, if you want to get the support of the imperial court, don't think about it, don't send the forbidden army to ban you, how can you still compete with the Royal Boxing Gym? So even if the Shaolin Temple is still regarded as Taishan Beidou by the martial arts people, it is not as good as the Royal Boxing Gym in the minds of the martial arts people.

A worse level than the Royal Boxing Gym and Shaolin Temple is a village and a city, Zhuang is Zhujiazhuang, the city is Zengtou City, and now Zengtou City has become yesterday's yellow flower, and Zhujiazhuang is still dominant in Shandong, so Luan Tingyu can sit next to the Yellow River gang leader.

As for the twelve hills, there are 12 cottages of Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Shaohua Mountain, Liangshan, Mangdang Mountain, Huangmen Mountain, Taohua Mountain, Zhuying Mountain, Dengyun Mountain, Withered Tree Mountain, Baihu Mountain and Yinmachuan.

These 12 cottages are located in the Yellow River Valley and the Jianghuai region, robbing houses and houses, cutting paths and extortion, which can be called 12 local snakes. Although the strength of a single person is far inferior to Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City in the past, no matter who it is, as long as they pass near these twelve cottages, they will always be unable to be calm and calm.

Because these characters don't tell you anything about the rules of morality and martial arts in the rivers and lakes at all, they will be drugged when they should be drugged, and they will smoke incense when they should be smoked, and they will do whatever they can.

What is little known is that these twelve mountains have been almost integrated by Liangshan, and then returned to the Bai Jiajun, anyway, the Shaolin Temple can't post the heroes on the heads of these mountain kings, just to remind the monks who deliver the hero posts to be cautious when passing through these mountains.

It's just that when it comes to strength, under these twelve mountains, those martial arts sects in the Shangjiang and Lakes of Cailun are outside the three major Kou forces, and the Kunlun faction and Kongtong faction are not included in the strength ranking because they are not in the Central Plains.

In this order, Qingcheng and Penglai are not great sects, Bai Sheng and Princess Tiefan are not even qualified to greet the abbot of Shaolin, so they were introduced by the guest monk into the guest banquet at the entrance of the main hall, but they are at the end, even inferior to the barberry faction in Nanyang, Henan, the barberry faction is in the same Henan as Shaolin, and Nanyang Dengfeng is not very far away, which is the relationship between neighbors and neighbors.

Bai Sheng and Princess Iron Fan have no complaints about this, of course they like to be low-key, enter the crowd and wait for the changes, Princess Iron Fan only waits for Bai Sheng to appear, but Bai Sheng wants to see how the scene in Shaolin Temple continues, and at the same time find out where Ding Chunqiu's son is.

Bai Tie and the two of them took their seats, even if an episode was revealed, the people in the Daxiong Treasure Hall picked up the previous topic again, and Wu Changfeng, the leader of the beggar gang, had just spoken, and said casually at this time: "I don't think this martial arts alliance leader has to choose, just let the old Zhou seniors bear it." ”

Before Bai Sheng and Princess Iron Fan arrived, the people in the Daxiong Treasure Hall were discussing the matter of the martial arts alliance leader.

The Rat Extermination League is the Martial Arts Alliance, the so-called people do not walk without heads, birds do not fly without heads, if you want to do great things, you must have a leading brother, this is the consensus of all martial arts figures. Who will lead everyone to deal with Bai Sheng?

Originally, it was not impossible to let Shaolin Abbot Hui Zhen be the leading brother, but the attitude of Shaolin Temple was disappointing - when talking about how to deal with Bai Sheng and Ding Chunqiu, Abbot Huizhen said that Buddhism abstains from killing, just confine Bai Sheng and Ding Chunqiu in Shaolin Temple, let them think about it, and they can't go out to make trouble for the rivers and lakes.

How can this work?

How did Ding Chunqiu run away from your Shaolin Temple more than 10 years ago?

This is just a question of the Shaolin abbot on the surface, and what the vast majority of people think in their hearts is that if Bai Sheng really has treasures on his body, if anyone robs his treasures, it is strange that he does not look for that person to take revenge, your Shaolin Temple couldn't look at Ding Chunqiu more than ten years ago, and now you can't look down on Bai Sheng, if Bai Sheng gets out of the cage one day, remember that the people who participated in the Rat Extermination League today will come to the door one by one, then the consequences are unimaginable?

Abbot Huizhen's views have been opposed by the vast majority of people, so the leading brother in people's minds has lost his chances.

Hui Zhen himself understands this, but he doesn't really care who will be the leading brother, as long as Ding Chunqiu is captured, even if he is worthy of those senior monks who died under Ding Chunqiu, as for the heroes here, Ding Chunqiu must be executed, then he will be executed, anyway, it is not my Shaolin monk who kills people and breaks the precepts.

Originally, there were only two candidates in people's minds, Zhou Tong and Hui Zhen, Zhou Tong is the most respected and famous, and Hui Zhen is the host, no matter who is the leader of the alliance, it is reasonable, but now since everyone does not want Hui Zhen to be the leader of the alliance, then only Zhou Dong is left.

So everyone echoed Wu Changfeng's proposal, Zhou Tong had already stood up and started waving his hand, and then he must have to say a word: He De and how can he be polite, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the head of the Kongtong faction, Kong Mingzi, interjected: "Since it is to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance, then the candidate's martial arts must be the first in the world, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was immediately silent, because everyone could understand the meaning of the empty underworld, Zhou Tong was originally recognized as the number one master in the world, you empty underworld said this, that is, you don't admit this matter, the implication is to challenge Zhou Dong?

Coincidentally, there are still people who agree with the statement of the Empty Underworld: "What the Daoist of the Empty Immortal Son said is extremely true, but this martial arts is the best in the world, but it is not said with the mouth, and it must be compared to know the superiority......"

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and found that it was one of the guests who spoke, this person had a horse face, and his appearance was extremely ugly, so that people didn't want to look at him a second time after seeing it, although no one wanted to stare at his face, but it did not prevent people from being deeply impressed by him, and most of them could remember the name sung by this person when he came to know the guest monk, which was Zhong Wanqiu, the valley owner of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations by the Lancang River.

When Bai Sheng saw this person, his heart moved, because this person's body shape was exactly the same as the person he swept away outside Juxian Village, and his voice was also the same, at that time, that person broke the "Great Vedic Pestle" of the Pig Iron Buddha.

Perhaps including Qi 13 and those Qi family sufferers who are now blocked outside the Shaolin Mountain Gate, were rescued by this Zhong Wanqiu? Except for those who have never been able to come out since entering Juxian Village, he has only met Zhong Wanqiu a stranger along the way, so he feels that this person is most likely the one who rescued people from the Qi family.

Other people here have also heard of the name of the god Zhong Wanqiu of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Valley Horse King, but they have never met him, just because the Zhong Valley Lord has never liked to go out, and only stays in his own one-acre and three-point land, which is said to be afraid that his wife will steal people after going out......

At this time, listening to Zhong Wanqiu's words, it was obvious that he wanted to provoke a competition in the ring, which was very in line with everyone's wishes.

Naturally, there is no wine and meat in the Shaolin Temple to entertain everyone, and I don't know when Bai Sheng will come or whether he will dare to come, so isn't it boring to sit and talk like this?

Kong Mingzi released the words, and it was aimed at Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong couldn't be indifferent, sighed and said: "Brother Kong Mingdao, you still can't swallow that breath back then? This is a new trick, right?"

He naturally knows that the empty underworld will come to him sooner or later to compete again, this matter has nothing to do with hatred, but it is related to the face of each other and the reputation of the sect, as the so-called people fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense, as long as there are people in the rivers and lakes who think that the Kongtong faction is not as good as the Royal Boxing Gym, and the empty Shenzi is not as good as Zhou Dong, this matter is not over.

Kong Mingzi was told that he was broken, but he didn't deny it, and said: "Since Brother Zhou understands things so clearly, Poor Dao won't go around the bend, in fact, Poor Dao doesn't want to be the leader of this martial arts alliance, Poor Dao just wants to ask Brother Zhou for advice again." ”

Before the words fell, I heard a rough voice ringing in the hall: "If you don't want to be the leader of this alliance, then I will be the one!"

I don't know how much internal force is carried in this voice, only the fire and candles around the hall are shaking and extinguishing, everyone is shocked, and at the same time, they all wonder, why this person will call himself "I", could it be that the current emperor Weifu paid a private visit and came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Shaolin Temple?

I only heard the voice and continued: "Don't look for it, I'm still outside the mountain gate, and the little monks of Shaolin Temple don't come out quickly to greet me?"

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, and outside the mountain gate, they heard the empty soul in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, is this the Heavenly Ear Tong? And it can also transmit the sound to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, how deep internal force does this have to be to achieve?

Thinking of this, people all looked at Zhou Dong and wanted to see how Zhou Dong reacted, and people felt that if there was one person here who could overcome this self-proclaimed "me", then this person was none other than Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong's face also became solemn, even if he didn't take it seriously when the Empty Immortal Zi challenged him before, but at this moment, after listening to this person's transmission, he couldn't help but be solemn, and also said: "Who is my Dao, it turns out that Sect Master Fang has arrived, you and I have been trapped on the Sky Island for a while, it has only been three months, and Sect Master Fang's martial arts have entered the realm very quickly!"

As soon as he said this, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Hui Zhen, changed his face, and it was actually Fang La! This person is an enemy rather than a friend, and he is a great enemy and a strong enemy!

As early as forty years ago, Fang La's master Huo Shan was an enemy of the Shaolin Temple, hiding under the mountain to kill the Shaolin disciples who were left alone in the temple.

This martial arts secret is recorded in the temple chronicles of Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin Temple Chronicles can only be watched by successive abbots, if it is not from the hands of Master Xuanci to take over the abbot, Huizhen does not know that there is such a deep hatred between Mingjiao and Shaolin.

After knowing this secret, Huizhen was also worried that if Fang La seized the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, then the Shaolin Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, would not be far from the ruins, but he never worried that Fang La would find the mountain gate to fight.

Fang La was busy attacking cities and seizing the Great Song Dynasty, so how could he have the time to come to Shaolin to make trouble?

At the same time, Shaolin Temple is very close to Bianliang, if Fang La dares to make trouble here, as long as the news reaches Bianliang, there will be a large army to suppress it, and he can't run if he wants to.

However, now that La is here, could it be that Da Song has been destroyed by him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously muttered to himself: "Why is Fang La here?"

Fang La seemed to hear Hui Zhen's words, and replied with a sneer: "Your Shaolin Temple gathered a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to deal with my Chenglong fast son-in-law, can't I come over and talk to you?"
