Chapter 285 (1/2)
The gathering of heroes is an activity with a long history.
The Qunying meeting was first funded by the Dao family to show the prestige of the family. Later, it became a grand event in Yuanyang city jointly sponsored by Dao, Xu and ma. It aims to enhance the influence of the three families and attract talents for the family. It also means competing for strength secretly.
For the monasteries and monks in and around Yuanyang City, especially the casual monks, this is a platform to show themselves. It can not only strive for better resources and outlet for themselves through rising fame at the meeting, but also win glory for the sect. In addition, it is also a place for mutual exchange and goods trading.
Top experts do not often appear, and there are few really heavyweight Xiuzhen famous schools in the southwest and other regions. However, within a thousand miles of Yuanyang City, Qunying club is the largest and most lively large-scale public gathering, which often attracts thousands of monks to participate, and ordinary people regard it as a festival.
The organization and procedures of Qunying association are relatively loose, and they are not exactly the same every time. There is no strict competition system and ranking system.
The venue will be divided into many venues. Practitioners will gather on their own. As long as someone puts forward the competition methods and someone agrees, the methods are flexible and diverse. They can be unlimited life and death struggle, or special competition skills, arrays, magic weapons, and even debate Taoism, Of course, the trading of all kinds of cultivation resources such as martial arts and rare treasures can be seen everywhere.
Although there is no ranking dispute, the three companies have set up more or less rewards for each competition, and less is symbolic. If they can win in a row or persist to the end, the rewards are also very rich.
There is no referee supervision and unified rules in any competition. Sometimes there is no final conclusion. The three are only responsible for the maintenance of order.
Although it is not rigorous and standardized, the relaxation of the rules has been favored and supported by the monks. Generally, there are no people who make trouble for an excuse.
Qunying association is held irregularly, sometimes one year, sometimes two years. This time it takes three years to have it, which is bound to be more heated and noisy.
These were told to them later in the Shang brocade book.
Shang Jinshu said that he asked them for help, which was polite and would not take the initiative to pull them into the game, so he didn't mention it at that time. Now that the disciples of Vientiane sect are willing to participate, he is also happy to see its success.
With these news, ten people spent another day in the city, and they were ready to practice in the merchant's residence. Lin Xianjing also began to read and analyze the information provided by the merchant.
The day before the opening of the conference, everyone was meditating in the guild hall. Lin Xian was surprised and an alarm sounded from the storage bag in his arms.
The commercial brocade book is a kind of business book. It's not common to sell anything. The sound transmission device given is an advanced product. In addition to daily communication, it can be triggered in case of emergency and send back location information.
This is Ping rongce. Something happened! Otherwise, there will be no contact, but a direct automatic alarm.
After sending someone to inform Shang Jinshu, everyone set out and rushed to the accident site immediately.
When we arrived at the place, it was a remote building facing the street, and there were no signs on the door face. It's important to save people. Yi LiuNian kicked open the door and everyone broke in.
There were people inside, and there were many. Seeing that they broke in for no reason, they didn't understand a few words, so they started to move.
There was a tinkling and disorderly fight. Many furniture and utensils in the hall were destroyed. The disciples of Vientiane sect gained the upper hand and went straight to the second floor. At this time, several experts came out and stopped the people. The situation was even more tense.
Just about to fight again, the merchant brocade Book hurried after getting the letter. After entering the door, he immediately told both sides to stop. Someone on the other side recognized the merchant brocade book. Soon, a woman came out of the inner room.
The woman's green skirt dragged the ground, with good temperament, pink peach cheeks and a pair of apricot eyes as bright as autumn water. Except for being slightly fat, she had no obvious defects in her appearance and figure.
When she saw the brocade book, she bent her mouth and eyes at the same time and said, ”what wind has blown the big and small businesses? The wind is not small, and the roof furniture can't help it.”
Shang Jinshu threw a fist: ”Hello, Miss Gongsun. This is definitely a misunderstanding. Let me introduce you to Gongsun Xixi, the second miss of Gongsun aristocratic family among the four major merchants in Xianzhou. Explain the reason first, so as not to flood the Dragon King temple.”
The situation of Gongsun's family is similar to that of merchants. It is also a long-term weak operation in the southwest. It decided to send Gongsun Xixi to lead a team in person in order to reverse the situation.
The merchant and Gongsun family are competitors, but the relationship between the two is OK. Of course, they know each other.
After Shang Jinshu came, he was busy. He knew that Gongsun Xixi was also in Yuanyang, but he had not had time to make an appointment. After hearing the news, he knew that this was the territory of Gongsun's family, so he hurried to reconcile.
Lin Xianjing immediately explained the reason.
Gongsun Xixi's men shouted, ”nonsense, there is neither this matter nor this person. You are mistaken.”
Gongsun Xixi, who was also a shrewd and thoughtful man, thought for a moment and said, ”this is one of your houses and warehouses. We rented it for a long time. I remember the owner lives in the underground warehouse. It shouldn't be him. Check!”
His subordinates quickly came up and reported: ”the second young lady has a good memory. The owner of the house is a loose repairman named Wang Jinbiao. The back door guard said that someone came to him last night and lived there. The two went out not long ago.”
Gongsun Xixi was reading the recent information in his hand at the moment. He pulled out a piece and said, ”yes, you said his name was Ping rongce. This man was just given a yellow warrant by the Xu family a few days ago. If you expect it to be good, it should be Wang Jinbiao who wanted a reward and sold him to the Xu family.”
Things never leave ten.
Plain and unsociable, but there are also three close friends in Yuanyang city. Ping rongce is looking for these three people to understand the situation. One of them went out to travel. He threw himself into the air. The second one was timid and disappeared behind closed doors. After finding here, Wang Jinbiao was very enthusiastic and stayed with Pingrong.
Wang Jinbiao's nature is not bad. He has solid contacts with plain Jane, but he has a problem of gambling. Recently, he has bad gambling luck and is heavily in debt. If he was not afraid of Gongsun's family, he would even mortgage this ancestral house.
After discovering that Ping rongce was missing, the Taoists of Wuping array had no evidence, but Ping rongce happened to disappear after the Vientiane gate disciples came to fight, and the Vientiane gate could not escape the suspicion of melon fields and Li Xia.
