Not a moment later, the venue where the Seven Heroes Meeting was held was already crowded with people and extremely noisy.
At this time, all the sects and factions have basically taken their seats at the seats arranged by the Cao Gang.
The five sects, Yan Gang, Tea Gang, Zhongyi Sect, Xingyi Sect, and Xiayi Sect, are all among the "Seven Heroes", so they should occupy the "upper seat" in today's conference.
Then what is "going to the table"? To put it bluntly, the location of their sect's station is relatively close to the "main stage" occupied by the Cao Gang. Their leader and the first four or five people in the sect can sit on them, and they are sitting on quite good Taishi chairs... Of course Yes, those disciples still have to stand.
And other more powerful sects, such as the Beggar Clan, Haisha Clan, Eagle Claw Sect, Taishan Sect, Snow Mountain Sect, etc. (Shaolin, Wudang, Ba Fist Sect, Shen Dao Villa are not the same size. None of the sects lower than the Cao Gang came to the Qixiong Club this time, because they neither wanted to join the Four Sects or Three Gangs, nor did they need to come to this muddy water to find trouble for themselves. As for why the Beggar Gang came, we will talk about this in the next chapter. ), their seats are slightly inferior: not only are they far away from the main stage of the Cao Gang, which hosts the conference, but also only the leader of each faction has a Taishi chair, and everyone else has to stand.
As for those who are in a worse position, there are some well-known knights who have no sect, are in small groups, or are alone, such as the "Nine Sons in the Cloud", " "Thirteen Riders of Saibei", "Invincible King Kong"... all of these people have seats, but they are all ordinary stools, and they are further away from the main stage.
As for the last ones, those who are in the "last seat" are undoubtedly some small sects, or third-rate figures who are not very famous, but are still known to some people.
The treatment of this group of people is the same as the kind of people who buy the last row of tickets for a concert - no matter you are the leader or a disciple, you have to stand anyway, the people on the stage said You may not be able to hear anything clearly, and you in the audience have almost no chance to speak actively.
The above-mentioned seating arrangement is actually not Caobang’s original creation, but an unspoken rule that is commonly used by various sects in the world when gathering.
Everyone knows this rule, and no one will complain.
After all...Jianghu is still a place where strength is important.
Let’s talk about strength first, then reason.
"Huh? Look, it's coming."
"Coming, coming."
"It's finally starting..."
Amid a burst of discussion, Di Bujue's figure finally appeared beside the main stage.
As soon as the Cao Gang leader appeared, he caused quite a commotion at the scene. When he sat down on the main seat in the center of the main stage, the venue suddenly became quiet again. .
Di Bujue is indeed a bit of a king. He just sits there and intimidates everyone without saying a word. The person on the other end is looking at himself, looking at himself.
In the blink of an eye, the venue was completely silent.
Except...
In a certain corner, there were still bursts of chirping.
When the surroundings were noisy just now, no one would pay attention to the sound, but now everyone is silent, and people can't help but be attracted by the movement and turn their heads. , go out by sound.
But I saw that the source of the sound was two "old men". One of them was wearing a gray robe, and the other was wearing a Taoist robe.
At this moment, the two of them were squatting in the "last" corner of the last table, eating mooncakes.
Some people may be asking after seeing this, where did this moon cake come from?
That's it... Considering that it was around noon when heroes from all walks of life came to the island, and everyone probably hadn't had lunch, the Caobang set up a dozen tables near the venue where the Seven Heroes Meeting was held. , find someone to prepare some refreshments and put them there so that people from all walks of life can take them by themselves when they pass by.
Of course, the place where tea and snacks are placed must be supervised at all times, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with being poisoned.
Although in this situation, the behavior of "poisoning a certain person or a certain sect" is not easy to operate. After all, the poisoner does not know that the person or sect he is targeting will He won't come to get refreshments, and he doesn't know which cup or plate the target will get, but in order to avoid someone frantically adding drugs to all the food, he still has to be careful.
That’s where Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai picked up the mooncakes.
If they were the heads of a high-profile sect, they could naturally sit on the Grand Master's chair and let the disciples in the sect hold teacups for them, eating and drinking leisurely.
It’s a pity that they are not...
So they can only squat there and gnaw like beggars.
"Who are these two?"
"Where did the old man and the old man come from? Why are you so old and not in shape?"
" Why did such a person sneak in?"
Even the people from the Beggar Clan looked sideways and pointed at Shuangxiong's virtue, let alone other sects.
What’s even more outrageous is that because they were also present as “sects”, they also planted a flag in the position they occupied.
This "door flag" is very particular.
Generally, the sects that come to attend such a conference will bring their own "flag": the flags of the high-profile sects are made of iron rods and hung with satin, and the flags are neatly embroidered with large characters. The name of the sect; for the poorer small sects, they would at least get a wooden flagpole and hang a cloth flag, with the name of the sect written in ink on the flag.
But as for Sun and Huang, it was not until they arrived on the island and came to the venue and saw that other sects had flags that they realized that they did not have them.
Normally, there are only three of them together with Linghu Xiang. If they don’t do it, they won’t do it. No one will care about them, and no one will care about it.
But they both wanted toMake trouble...you have to do it.
So, everyone in the venue saw this scene: On the muddy ground behind the two squatters eating mooncakes, there was a bamboo pole they didn’t know where they got it from. Hanging was a dirty canvas, with five large shit-yellow characters written on the cloth using something that looked like mud and water - "Hunyuan Star Gate".
Oh, by the way, Linghu Xiang had already very cleverly stood at least a few feet away from them, blending in with other fish in the world, pretending not to recognize them.
"Uh-huh!" A few seconds later, it was Di Bujue's soft drink that drew the entire venue's attention back.
The leader of Gang Di was also muttering in his heart: "Good guy, this is called gold will always shine and shit will always stink... These two dare to write me a 'threatening letter' Even if they are in the lowest position, they can still steal everyone's attention in front of me. It seems that they are really not ordinary people, so I have to pay attention..."
He was thinking, Already opened his mouth and said: "Today, so many martial arts comrades and heroes from far away... gathered on Liugong Island. It is an unprecedented event."
"My Cao Gang feels extremely honored."
"Di is not talented. On behalf of the three sects and three gangs, I would like to thank you all for your support..."
His opening remarks were obviously prepared for him. Yes, I can speak it fluently without thinking twice.
At this point, he raised his hands and cupped his fists, preparing to salute the crowd.
Unexpectedly, just as everyone in the audience was about to follow the atmosphere and salute him.
"Hmph!" A cold snort with inner strength suddenly came from the audience, and the man followed closely and said, "Di, you haven't become the head of the sect yet. Why do you represent the three sects and three gangs?"
The person who said this was not far from the main stage, standing under the flagpole of the "Huai'an Chivalry Sect".
As soon as she said this, she attracted countless eyes.
Many people also know her, she is the junior sister and wife of the former head of the Chivalrous Sect, Lei Sanniang, nicknamed "Leopard and Cowardly Lion Throat" in the world.
Just by hearing this nickname, you can guess that this aunt’s character and martial arts skills are stronger than many uncles. Although she is over fifty this year, her temper is not restrained at all, and she even There is an intensifying trend.
As soon as Di Bujue opened his mouth today, Lei Sanniang shouted and asked, no doubt just to stifle his anger.
Then what is she doing?
It's very simple... Her godson, the fifth person in the chivalrous sect, "Scorpion Tail Spear" Ge Shi, was ambushed on the way to Dengzhou. When all the disciples of the Chivalry Sect arrived at the scene, Ge Shi had already expired. Lei Sanniang immediately led his disciples to track him for a day and a night, and finally caught one of the perpetrators. After some torture, he finally revealed that he was He was hired by the leader of the Cao Gang, Di Gang.
Originally,Lei Sanniang wanted to keep the killer alive as a witness to confront Di Bujue on the spot, but she didn't expect that before they took the killer into Dengzhou City, another person with strong martial arts appeared and took the killer to Dengzhou City. The killer silenced him.
So how good is the martial arts of the person responsible for silencing him?
I think all the readers have guessed it. He is as high as the Three-Word King. Anyway, after he kills people and then leaves, no one can see clearly how he came and went...
In this case, there is no evidence of death.
But how could Lei Sanniang be willing to give up? When Ge Shi was a child, she came to the Chia Yi Sect to study as a teacher. It was her husband who personally opened the door to her. In addition, she had no children, so she protected Ge Shi as her own son.
Later, Lei Sanniang’s husband died, and she did not compete for the position of head, but directly gave it to their junior brother, the current head of the Chivalry Sect, Lu Kang. This shows that she She is not someone who cares about status; Lei Sanniang obviously values family ties more than fame and fortune, and Ge Shi, as the only relative in her eyes, is more important than anything else.
Now, even though the witness has been silenced, Lei Sanniang will not give up. She wants to question Di Bujue personally, because in her opinion, the silence will make Di Bujue more solid. Tired is the mastermind.
"Heh..." Di Bujue didn't react much when he heard Lei Sanniang's words. In other words, he had already foreseen that a similar situation might happen, so he just sneered. He replied, "Who am I talking about...it turns out to be Senior Sister Lei from the Chivalry Sect." This part of his sentence was not to establish friendship with the other party or discuss seniority, but just to point out the three words "Chivalry Sect" for everyone to hear. "Di's words are just a few polite words to everyone on behalf of the three sects and three gangs. They have no other meaning. Don't think too much about it."
"Senior sister..." At the same moment, even The head of the Chivalry Sect, Lu Kang, also turned around in his seat and whispered, "Forget it...this is not the time."
Although Lu Kang also wanted to seek justice for Ge Shi, But after all, he is in charge of a faction and has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Without any evidence, he definitely does not support Lei Sanniang's current actions, because this kind of approach... often ends up evolving into Using force to distinguish right from wrong is not beneficial to them.
But Lei Sanniang didn't care about that. When she saw Di Bujue showing up just now, and seeing the latter's swaggering and sanctimonious look, she felt angry.
She thought in her heart: "It's pitiful that my son died at a young age due to random stabbings, but you, the chief culprit, are still here, talking so shamelessly, I will be a hero in the world today." Reveal your true face in front of me!”
The more she thought about it, the more she became angrier. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the personal evidence, the gains and losses, and the overall situation of the sect were all quickly forgotten, so Di Bujue As soon as she opened her mouth, she pushed him forward to choke her.
"Gang Leader Di." After Lu Kang turned around and finished his words of advice, he quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards Di Bujue and said, "My senior sister is a little impatient. She may have misunderstood what you just said. I hope Don't be offended, LuIn a certain generation, she will compensate you..."
"Shut up! "Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, Lei Sanniang shouted again, "Junior brother, you are afraid of that man named Di, but I am not afraid. I am going to do what I want him to do behind his back today. Tell them all and let the heroes of the world comment! "
That's right... Lu Kang's face turned blue and purple, and he complained secretly in his heart: "Sister, why are you so ignorant at your age? I've helped you through this... Is it easy for me? Before you came here, I told you not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive, and to be patient... But as soon as Di came out, you couldn't express your anger... Now you are going to say without any evidence that someone hired someone to kill someone, but then they will bite back and say You make false accusations and then ask us to "play by the rules of the world". Should you or I take the blame? "
Just as he was thinking this, Di Bujue smiled widely on his face: "Oh? Why can’t I understand what Senior Sister Lei is saying? He paused, "What kind of evil things did Di do behind his back?" What makes you grit your teeth like this... I'm also very curious and want to hear it. "
Di Bujue's calm and unhurried attitude made Lei Sanniang even more furious. Fortunately, she didn't have any cardiovascular disease, otherwise she would have burst her blood vessels with anger.
"Bah! ! You old guy! Are you still packing garlic there? "The next second, Lei Sanniang even spat out curse words in dialect, as if she had no regard for face, "You hired people to ambush my son Ge Shi, kill him, and then found someone to catch my tongue. 'Quiet, now you feel that there is no proof of death, so you have nothing to fear, right? "
As soon as she made these accusations, all the heroes present were in an uproar.
Most people looked surprised and suspicious when they heard this, but a few The expressions of people from sects, such as Zhongyi Sect and Xingyi Sect, are a bit subtle.
When Di Bujue heard this, his expression also darkened: "Senior Sister Lei, I am convinced about the murder of Senior Nephew Ge. I have heard about it, but you said that I hired someone to kill him, and you also said that I hired someone to kill the witnesses. Where do you start with this? "
"Bah! Lei Sanniang spat again and replied, "I know you don't dare to admit it. You have silenced everyone anyway. You didn't do it by killing me, so you think no one can do anything to you, right?" "
"Then Di has to ask a question. Di Bujue said, "Why can Senior Sister Lei be so insistent that I did this?" "
"The killer I caught told me personally before you silenced him, saying that he was hired by Di Bujue. "Lei Sanniang said.
"How do you know what he said must be the truth? "Di Bujue said.
"Humph..." Lei Sanniang snorted coldly, "If you knew how I got him to speak, you wouldn't ask any more questions. ”
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately understood what she meant.
Everyone is a gangster, not to mention killing people, but for "hurting people" I'm sure everyone is familiar with this matter. Who is this method of torture and extorting confessions?Or not? Considering that Ge Shi is Lei Sanniang's godson, it's not surprising that she tortured the killer.
Di Bujue did not dwell on this issue anymore, but continued: "Okay, since Senior Sister Lei has determined this, Di has nothing to say." He paused slightly. After half a second, he said again, "It's just that, Senior Sister Lei, you are white-mouthed and have no evidence. Just by doing this, you will make Di Mou confess to this groundless crime. Di Mou will not be convinced. Don't you think so?" ?”
Everyone understands the implication of his words, and Lei Sanniang naturally understands it too.
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't you just want to follow the rules of the world?" Lei Sanniang is indeed upright. "Anyway, I have had enough life. Even if I risk my life today, I will follow you." Let's die together!"
As she said that, she jumped out of the formation at the Chivalry Gate and came to the main stage to face Di Bujue. She mobilized her inner strength and prepared to fight with him.
Di Bujue stood up slowly with a sneer on his face. It seemed that he did not take the opponent seriously at all and was ready to face him head-on.
Just when the two sides were at a critical moment...
"Wait a minute!" There was a soft shout from the corner of the last table.
This drink is like a thunderbolt from the blue, with a roaring sound in my ears.
Everyone present, except Sun Yixie who had already tightly covered his ears, was all caught off guard by the sudden shout.
Even those with strong skills can feel the blood in their bodies surging and their brains buzzing; while those with poor skills, such as the bottom disciples of various sects, many are dizzy and staggering Difficult to stand.
Lei Sanniang, who is known for her lion's roar skill, was particularly shocked at this time - it's not that she can't produce a sound wave with similar lethality, but... to do this, she must It took quite a lot of internal energy to shout very loudly, but what the other party said at this moment was just "squeak".
In other words, the principle of the technique used by the person who drank this sound is obviously more advanced than her superior martial arts lion's roar technique.
Lei Sanniang’s judgment is undoubtedly correct. What everyone heard at this moment was the sound Huang Donglai made using the basic method of amplifying internal energy and external energy in the "Twelve Noble Truths" to "preempt others".
"Who is the master... I haven't asked for advice yet!" Di Bujue was originally thinking about how to get in touch with the two people from the "Hunyuan Star Gate", but now it's better, they took the initiative to jump in , then it would save him trouble, so he just yelled over there.
"Easy to say." Huang Donglai strolled out of the queue at this time, stood on an empty road left in the middle of the venue, flicked his fly whisk, and said calmly, "My surname is Huang, my Taoist name is Xudong Laoxian ."
