In the Heavens

Luoyang

After days of fighting and talking, it was finally time to solve the problem. The Ming court still had some deterrent effect on the "famous and decent", and the location was chosen outside the city.

The Guanzhong Wulin headed by the Huashan School and the Central Plains Wulin headed by Shaolin, the two groups of people are facing each other from the north and the south, and there is a stance of fighting if they can't reach an agreement.

Thousands of people were gathered in each of them, and the troops were properly strong and strong. Unfortunately, the leaders of both sides had scruples and did not dare to make a decision to act lightly.

Famous and decent is not only a name, but also has its own set of game rules. Fighting with others at every turn is the style of the Demon Cult.

Don't look at the situation getting out of hand, but the two big bosses of Shaolin and Huashan haven't turned their faces directly so far. Nominally, the two factions were only invited to mediate - the conflict between Guanzhong Tiejianmen and Luoyang Long Spear Club.

From this point of view, it is not unfair at all to say that the famous and decent sects are a group of hypocrites.

But this set of "Standing Archway" gameplay is exactly the most suitable gameplay that the predecessors have experienced for thousands of years and combined with their own reality.

It's easy to say, but now the strength of the two sides is very close. If there is a real fight, the loser will naturally be finished, but the winner will not even think about how many people are left.

The territory also needs to be guarded. If one's own strength is not good enough, even if it is the last to grab it, it will not be able to defend it.

"Two dogs fight, play off."

Both Shaolin and Huashan are unwilling to see this happen.

The plan did not change quickly. First, the other four mountains could not come, and then the demon sect attacked and was forced to divide the troops. The several big sects in the rivers and lakes that I had contacted before had also temporarily changed their minds. Passive situation.

In addition to the urgent report from the door last night, if he didn't understand that he was being tricked, Ning Qingyu's job as head of the door for so many years would be in vain.

But now he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and the enemy had set up too many tricks, and he was not allowed to back down at all.

If we go back like this now, how will the Guanzhong martial arts comrades who were invited to come explain?

Before the Huashan faction gave a call, everyone followed the boss with money and life, but now they suddenly say no to play, let all the efforts of these forces go to waste, they have to give an explanation, right?

Damage to the prestige in the world is only one aspect, and it is even more difficult to explain in the door. After paying such a high price without gaining anything, he, the head of the sect, needs to give an explanation to the sect.

If you can't fight, you can only talk.

Negotiations do not require too many people, including the "Iron Sword Gate and the Long Spear Club", the two obvious parties, are not qualified to participate.

...

Funiu Mountain Xiaowang Peak

Ning Qingyu sat with two Huashan elders and three Shaolin old monks facing each other, drinking tea quietly, without any sign of conflict, just like old friends.

After all, it was Woxin Mountain Gate, Ning Qingyu was the first to break the silence: "Master is really calculating, but just wanting us to retreat like this is too underestimating.

The Huashan faction has prepared for so long and paid such a high price, if they let go now, how will they gain a foothold in the arena? "

Seeing Ning Qingyu's resolute attitude, the old monk also felt a headache. How could he not know the plight of the Huashan faction, this was originally a chess game played by Shaolin.

It's just that if this game of chess is to be completed perfectly, Huashan must be sent back to Huyou first. Otherwise, if we really fight, it will not end well.

The family business of Shaolin Temple has also gradually accumulated bit by bit, and it is obviously not worth the loss to fight with the Huashan School. Even if you win, what's the use of a tired Guanzhong?

Shaolin Temple does not strive for world hegemony, so why bother occupying such a strategically important place and arouse the fear of the imperial court for nothing?

With this energy, it is better to go to the south of the Yangtze River. In terms of economic value, any prefecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can surpass Guanzhong.

"Master Ning, the world is so big, why should your faction be obsessed with Luoyang?"

Ning Qingyu smiled indifferently, and sarcastically said: "Master, it's too much for you to pretend to be confused. If it weren't for your temple to cause chaos, we would have entered Bashu a hundred years ago.

At that time, the Emei faction took the initiative to invite them, and they didn't even need to fight. Why are we obsessed with Luoyang, aren't we still forced out by your monastery?

Unlike Guisi, Huashan has no monopoly on Luoyang, I just want to come in and get a share, isn't that too much? "

Obviously, the Huashan Party's resentment towards Shaolin has not lasted for a day or two.

Back then when Emei was split and there was no leader in the martial arts in the middle of Shu, the Huashan School finally reached an agreement with Emei and was about to enter Bashu, but Shaolin disrupted the situation at the last moment.

Once the opportunity is missed, there will be no more. After the Huashan faction's plan to plot Bashu was exposed, the martial arts in the middle of Shu became more vigilant.

Under Shaolin's support, several major martial arts forces in central Sichuan quickly put aside their previous suspicions and reached a joint agreement, which did not give the Huashan faction any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Without being able to enter Shu, there is not much room for the Huashan faction to choose. Either fight against Shaolin in Luoyang, or enter Shanxi from Shangdang, and go north to compete with the Sun Moon God Sect.

From the standpoint of Shaolin Temple, it is natural to hope that Huashan and the Sun Moon God Sect will fight to the death, and for this reason they continue to provoke conflicts between the two sides.

It's just that the Huashan faction is not stupid. After a few battles with the devil's sect, they knew that they couldn't chew that hard bone by themselves.

What's more, the north is too close to the capital, and the factors of the imperial court must also be taken into consideration. Expanding its power under the eyes of the Ming court, the Huashan faction is not so strong.

In comparison, although Shaolin is difficult to deal with, Shaolin Temple has too many choices. Not only does it sit in the Central Plains, but its power has also expanded to Jiangnan and Bashu.

A big family has a big business and a lot of worries. As the largest sect in the world, Shaolin Temple is undoubtedly the most powerful in the world, but they also attracted the most firepower from the Ming court.

The imperial court supports almost all actions against Shaolin. Including this time is no exception, if it is not for the imperial court secretly holding back, the power of Shaolin Temple has gathered, and the Huashan faction will have to be persuaded.

The concern of Shaolin Temple is not only the imperial court, but also various factions in the world. The larger the territory, the more forces bordering the rivers and lakes, and the more conflicts will arise.

When Shaolin was strong, these Jianghu forces naturally had to endure it. If Shaolin's strength is greatly damaged, the situation will be very different.

Shaolin also had to consider the issue of "birds die for food".

In fact, Ning Qingyu's plan this time was a bet that Shaolin Temple would not fight them to the death for Luoyang.

It's a pity that in the end it was still a bad move. The originally planned allies were not in place, and the Huashan faction failed to gain an absolute advantage in Luoyang.

"Master Ning, you are persistent. The Huashan faction has become more and more prosperous, and we all acquiesced that the Huashan faction has become the new overlord of the martial arts. Why do we need to go to war and stir up turmoil in the world!"
