Chapter 37 Alliance

The four meet and salute each other.

Wan Chengjiu asked: "I don't know why brother Yanming made such a statement?"

Layman Yanming smiled and said, "Brother Tan and I met at the bottom of the mountain. Seeing that the time was approaching, we made a bet to see who would reach the top of the mountain first. It seems that I climbed first."

Ou Peng smiled and said: "Brother Tan's strength is not in lightness kung fu, you can compare his kung fu with him in a while."

Layman Yanming waved his hand and said: "I know this myself, I am no better than him, but today we only talk about wine and not swords, Ou Bang is mainly disappointed."

Tan Yefeng also spoke: "Brother Yanming has the upper hand in this bet. I will make three bowls first."

Ou Peng and Wan Chengjiu laughed and said: "Brother Tan is a straightforward person, come, Brother Yanming and Brother Tan please."

When they came to the tree, they saw the stone bull standing there like an iron tower, and asked curiously, "Who is this dear friend?"

Ou Peng introduced: "This is Shi Niu, a disciple of my Misty Sect. Shi Niu, come to greet Layman Yanming and Patriarch Tan."

Shi Niu came to salute and meet each other.

Everyone admired and said that the Misty School is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but Ou Peng also modestly denied it.

Then, Ou Peng asked Shi Niu to guard the intersection of the mountain to prevent idlers from getting to the top of the mountain.

When everyone sat down, Tan Yefeng picked up a jar of wine from the ground, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and said to Layman Yanming, "Look carefully, I'll drink it first."

Then, he brought the bowl to his mouth, gulped it down, and drank another bowl. When he drank the third bowl, Ou Peng said, "Brother Tan, let's accompany you too." After finishing speaking, he also poured out a bowl, Layman Yanming and Wan Chengjiu agreed in unison, each poured a bowl, everyone touched the bowls, they all drank it in one gulp, and then put the porcelain bowls on the ground.

Tan Yefeng spoke first: "Brother Ou thought carefully. I came here in a hurry. It was late, so I forgot about food and drink. I think Brother Yanming followed suit?"

Layman Yanming said embarrassingly: "Yeah, I didn't expect that there are so many people in Longshen Temple. Arranging for family members is a waste of time, and in the end I delayed my own affairs."

Wan Jiucheng laughed loudly and said: "I didn't waste time, but I also forgot these details, but with Master Ou Da to help us think about it, it would be nice to have some wine, why bother talking so much."

Ou Peng also said: "Brother Wan is right. Someone should prepare it. Why bother about who it is? Let's make it clearer."

Everyone laughed and had another bowl.

Tan Yefeng spoke first: "Everyone, although there are few tourists in Wutong Mountain at the moment, it is not without it. Letting Shi Niu guard this intersection is also a temporary solution. I think we should get back to business and discuss things earlier. Now that it's done, how about we have a good time?"

Layman Yanming also said, "I have exactly the same intention."

Ou Peng said: "Then how about we confirm the time to enter the secret place next time?"

Wan Chengjiu also nodded in agreement.

Tan Yefeng said: "But according to the pamphlet, only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is allowed to enter."

Layman Yanming said: "Brother Tan, please don't worry. According to my speculation, there are two reasons why the pamphlet says that only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can enter. There can be a passage in the five directions, allowing people to enter, and the second is that only the sunlight on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can correctly indicate the position to enter. Before entering last time, the younger brother has already made marks on the two jujube trees at the entrance. It shouldn't be hard to find the location. But I haven't heard of formations that can change with time in this Jianghu. Besides, there are so many days in a year, and formations can only pass on a specific day. This is too unbelievable. Right. Brother Wan, Brother Ou, your gang has been passed down for a long time, and you have encountered many things in the Jianghu, have you encountered such things?"

Wan Chengjiu and Ou Peng looked at each other and shook their heads.

But Ou Peng said: "Although we have never encountered it, and it is not recorded in the classics of the faction, the formation is indeed lost in the Jianghu, and we cannot be sure that this formation does not have the function of time limit."

None of the four said a word. After all, none of them had any attainments in formations, and there were no such talents in the gang. There might not even be such people in the entire Jianghu. How could they make a decision?

Tan Yefeng said: "Then there are only two options now. One is to wait patiently until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year before organizing people to enter; the other is to find a time recently and send a few people to explore the road to see if there Can you go in. What do you guys think?"

Wan Chengjiu said: "The matter of obtaining the treasure from the secret place is very important, and there must be no mistake. Last time we secretly sent the second-generation disciples to go there. Although we kept the secret in advance and did not leak the news, we cannot guarantee that other gangs will not For those who got the wind, in order to keep it secret, I suggest that you should not try it lightly if there is no guarantee of safety, otherwise, if the wind leaks, this secret place is not the secret place of our four factions, but the secret place of the entire rivers and lakes."

Ou Peng also agreed: "There are no secrets in the rivers and lakes. Maybe our meeting at Wutong Mountain has fallen into the eyes of those who care about it. Presumably someone on this mountain has long been watching us secretly."

Layman Yanming said, "Could it be that we have to wait for a year for nothing?"

Ou Peng smiled and said: "Brother Yanming, you don't know the value of salt and rice if you are not in charge. Our gang is not as powerful as your family in acting in the Jianghu. Secrecy is hard, we have to be careful."

Wan Chengjiu also nodded in agreement.

Layman Yanming still did not give up, and said: "Since you all mean so much, then I plan to find a time to explore the secret place again, what do you think?"

Wan Chengjiu and Ou Peng frowned at the same time. Only Tan Yefeng remained expressionless, as if he knew that layman Yanming would have such thoughts.

Seeing Tan Yefeng's expression, Ou Peng asked, "What does brother Tan mean?"

Tan Yefeng coughed, and said, "Actually, I also had this intention a long time ago. I want to go to the secret place to explore before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. If Brother Yanming doesn't mention it, I will suggest it to you."

Wan Chengjiu bowed his head in silence, as if he was thinking.

Ou Peng said: "Before deciding whether to go to the dense forest, I have a suggestion. I will discuss it with you to see if it is feasible?"

Everyone looked at Ou Peng strangely, waiting for him to speak.

Ou Peng said: "I suggest that we form an alliance and work together to advance and retreat in the secret treasure hunt."

Layman Yanming shook his head and said: "Our Villa cannot form an alliance with you Misty Sect and Wan Jianfeng. The Jianghu affairs you are involved in are too complicated, and there are often bloody gang fights. After forming an alliance, it will not be good for the development of our villa."

Tan Yefeng also said yes again and again.

Ou Peng said with confidence: "You two have some misunderstandings. The alliance I mentioned is somewhat different from the alliance I usually talk about. One is not an alliance between gangs, and there is no need to participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes between each other; the other is that this alliance is simply The alliance of the four of us, although the four of us cannot become brothers and share weal and woe, we can form an alliance to advance and retreat together in Midi, and share the blessings; three, this alliance is limited to Midi, and other aspects are not involved. You What do you think?"

Wan Chengjiu said with a smile on his face: "Ou Da's leader really has a beautiful chest, this is a good idea, let's do it like this."

Layman Yanming and Tan Yefeng also smiled and said good-bye.

So Ou Peng poured a porcelain bowl of wine, cut his finger with a sword, and dripped blood into the wine. The other three did the same. Then hand it over to Wan Chengjiu, Wan Chengjiu still drank it, and then Tan Yefeng and Layman Yanming all drank the blood wine.

Layman Yanming smashed the porcelain bowl, and everyone laughed and said, "It's a good alliance!"

Everyone drank another bowl of wine together, and then Ou Peng said: "Since Brother Yanming and Brother Tan insist on going, Brother Wan and I will naturally go forward and retreat with you. How about this? At the end of this month, we will send our disciples to How about Brother Yanming leading the way to the last location?"

Layman Yanming said: "No problem, this is an obligation, but this time, do we have to send each other's family members to each other's place?"

Ou Peng, Wan Chengjiu, and Tan Yefeng looked at each other, Ou Peng said: "The last time we cooperated for the first time, we were not at ease with each other. Now that we have formed an alliance, we are naturally at ease. I don't think there is any need for it."

Wan Chengjiu and Tan Yefeng also agreed.

At this time, Shi Niu walked over quickly and said, "Master, there are some tourists coming up the mountain road from the bottom of the mountain, do you want to stop them?"

Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "This Wutong mountain is not our own, so of course we have to let others come, and you don't have to go there to guard it, just wait here."

After finishing speaking, the four of them poured wine, and over the wine and food, they talked about the anecdotes and strange things in the Jianghu, which seemed to be leisurely.

After a while, a few people came to the top of the mountain. They seemed to be wandering tourists. After visiting the top of the mountain for a while, they saw people drinking and chatting in this picturesque place. They felt disdainful and went down the mountain without staying long. go.

Wan Chengjiu asked Ou Peng: "Could it be that we are suspicious?"

Ou Peng smiled and said: "These few are not, but it can't be said that there are no one at the bottom of the mountain. These people know that we are all gangsters, and they have sharp eyesight. How can they come up so easily?"

Ou Peng suddenly remembered something, and asked Wan Chengjiu: "The news about Midi must be kept secret, and there must be no slack in the slightest. Where is Situ Ping from the Evil Tiger Gang now?"

Wan Chengjiu smiled, took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Ou, don't worry, although brother is not as thoughtful as you, I still know about this. Master Situ, since the last time I returned to Wanjian Peak with my disciples, I have not After leaving, I have already ordered me to send an elder to accept her as an apprentice, and I have also sent a few capable men to Lu Town. This Situ gang leader will no longer be the Situ gang leader, but Situ Ping from Wan Jianfeng. gone."
