Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 77: Misleading the People
Mu Tiancheng's face turned gloomy. After he whispered a few words to Qin Ren, he sat upright again, his expression unmoving.
Qin Ren turned around and nodded to Jitang, who flashed his eyes and left without saying a word.
When he stepped down from the stage, Qin Ren nodded imperceptibly towards Elder Ma who was not far away.
Qin Ren and Ji Tang just stepped off the wooden platform, and Elder Ma quietly followed them.
The competition in the field was exciting. Mu Qing'er was still comparing the differences between the disciples in the field and her own, and didn't pay attention to the unusual departure of Ji Tang and the other three. Zhen Yuanzi, however, looked sideways, thoughtfully.
Ji Tang and Qin Ren left the wooden platform a little far away, whispering. After a while, Elder Ma arrived and looked at the two of them with questioning eyes.
"Elder Ma, I was assigned by Master to keep an eye on the mountain gate during the disciple competition to prevent any unexpected events. Who would have thought that many people from the world would suddenly appear at the mountain gate today. At this time, four to five hundred people had gathered at the mountain gate, clamoring for help. I want to watch the competition between my disciples. I suspect that someone is secretly trying to do harm to our faction!" Qin Ren spoke concisely and told the whole story in a few words.
Elder Ma stroked his long beard with his hand, nodded and said: "Go to the mountain gate first, and then worry about it!"
Qin Ren said: "Master means the same thing!" He waved his hand, and more than twenty disciples in Tsing Yi walked down the mountain surrounded by the three of them.
…
There were noisy shouts outside the Tianlong Sect's mountain gate, and hundreds of people from all walks of life were gesticulating at the mountain gate. More than a dozen gray-shirted disciples, with angry faces and long swords unsheathed, were waiting in full formation.
"I came all the way here because of your fame, why don't you let me enter the mountain?"
"You also said that Jiulong Mountain is a holy land of rivers and lakes. Why don't you let me wait in?"
"I'm waiting to see Master Mu..."
"I want to watch the disciples of the Tianlong Sect compete..."
"..."
The crowd was buzzing and the crowd was excited.
Lu Shu, the leading disciple guarding the mountain gate, faced the fierce oncoming force. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Veins popped out on his face. He fiercely waved the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and leave our mountain gate. How can the Tianlong Sect be like you?" You can come whenever you want..."
"Is a famous sect so domineering? I've learned a lot today..."
"I won't leave if I wait, what can you do to me?"
"..."
Everyone tried their best to ridicule everyone, making Lu Shu unable to resist. Since the person in charge of the gate was not there, he did not dare to offend the public, so he could only block the mountain gate and stalemate with these Jianghu people.
"Who besieged my Tianlong Sect's mountain gate?"
A sharp shout rang out, the voice was loud and clear, making the noisy person tremble. Looking up, he saw more than twenty people approaching with weapons in hand. The leader was none other than Second Senior Brother Jitang. He took the lead and accused everyone of besieging the mountain gate.
Lu Shu felt relieved when he heard the sound. Someone was finally here. He hurriedly led the gray-shirted disciple to the side. The disciples in green shirts came out and lined up in a row, with their long swords unsheathed. The cold air was so strong that the shouting people couldn't help but shrink back.
Ji Tang's leopard eyes were calm and intimidating, and he dazzled everyone with a look that was domineering. He raised his voice and said: "The state has national laws, and the mountains have mountain rules! No matter you want to worship the mountain, or you want to see my leader. Everyone must respect the rules of our Tianlong Sect. With such a crowd gathered at our mountain gate, is it true that they don’t take our Tianlong Sect into consideration and want to become our enemy? If so, stand up for me—!”
Ji Tang was tall, imposing, and aggressive in his words. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Many people secretly moved their feet back, not daring to step forward.
Seeing the opportunity, Qin Ren took a step forward, clasped his fists at the crowd and said: "Qin Ren from the Tianlong sect, I have met all of you comrades in the martial arts world! Today is the grand competition for the disciples of our sect. Due to the gang rules, we can only refuse to stay outside. I hope you can Forgive me. If there are any worshipers, please come back another day. Our Tianlong sect will be open to welcome you!"
The crowd was shouting lively just now, but in an instant there were only a few voices. They looked at each other and hesitated.
"The Tianlong Sect is widely known as a holy place in the world, and the skills of its disciples should be observed and learned by fellow sects from far away, so as to show the style of the great sect. Such a closed door to thank guests is disdainful to fellow sects!" A strange voice sounded in the crowd. When the sound rang out, a middle-aged man with black beard stepped forward steadily, pushing aside the crowd.
"Yes, I also want to broaden my horizons..."
"We all came from afar, but the Tianlong Sect blocked the way behind closed doors..."
There was a buzzing sound, and someone raised his head to speak, making everyone look angry again.
Qin Ren stared at the visitor and said with a smile: "I wonder where this brother comes from -?"
"I live in Halong all over the world and come from Qishan!" The black-bearded man looked calm.
Qin Ren raised his eyebrows, looked at each other again, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Long from Longwei Hall in Qishan. I'm disrespectful! All of you comrades gathered in front of my mountain gate. What an honor!"
There was another commotion in the crowd. It turned out that Longweitang from Northern Xinjiang was here! Everyone looked excited and looked forward to this trip.
"These people have nothing to do with me!" How could Long Sihai not understand the meaning of Qin Ren's words? He made his relationship with everyone clear in one sentence, but he also wanted to cover it up.
"Jiulong Mountain is a sacred place for the world, and the Tianlong Sect is also the leader among its fellows. Long came here just to show his sincerity! It is a coincidence that it happens to be the time when the disciples of your sect are competing in their skills. Why don't your sect take the opportunity to show off the majesty of the Tianlong Sect and let me Seeing the magical skills of your sect's disciples will firstly comfort our admiration, and secondly, it will also make our colleagues appreciate your sect's benevolence and righteousness. Why do we have to be so closed-door and damage the reputation of your sect?"
Long Sihai's words seemed to be of great righteousness, but they also contained hidden meanings. Regardless of anything else, the crowd cheered and cheered.
"What a joke! You first blocked my mountain gate and then threatened me with words. We, the Tianlong Sect, don't dare to accept such sincerity!" Elder Ma's voice was low, and his eagle eyes were like lightning as he glanced at the crowd. As the elder of the sect, he assessed the situation and made a decision. Long Sihai, who suddenly appeared, seemed to have nothing to do with everyone, and his words were full of confusion. If the trouble continues, I'm afraid it will end badly.
Qin Ren's face also turned cold and he said: "Brother Long, if you are really sincere to our sect, please come back another day. Qin will offer tea to apologize. But today is inconvenient and I have offended you. Please leave quickly." , if you continue to block our Tianlong Sect’s gate, you will become my enemy. Please think about it and don’t harm your harmony!”
Qin Ren was angry in his heart, but his tone was still polite, and he still had the demeanor of the head disciple.
But Long Sihai shook his head and said: "You have come all the way here, and you can turn me around with just one word. What is this if you are not trying to bully the weak? This is not bullying others with power, so what is the explanation? It is really embarrassing for Long!"
"Yes! The Tianlong faction uses its power to bully others——!"
"The Tianlong sect bullies fellow Jianghu people——!"
Ji Tang came and just took a sip, then looked on coldly. Seeing that everyone was ready to make a move again, he became impatient and shouted: "Stop! You are confusing right and wrong and confusing right and wrong. Long Sihai, who are you? How dare you pretend to be powerful." In the name of the church, you instigate your colleagues to become my enemies!”
The black-bearded man looked startled, and then sneered: "You are using your power to bully others. Everyone has seen it. Mr. Long just said a few fair words. Don't touch the shit basin." With that, he stepped back and was about to hide in. in the crowd.
"Don't leave, speak clearly -" Ji Tang was annoyed that his monstrous words were confusing the crowd, so he wanted to confront him.
Suddenly, several miserable screams suddenly sounded.
In the crowd, someone seemed to have been injured and fell to the ground.
Then someone shouted: "The Tianlong sect is killing the Jianghu comrades, which is not allowed by heaven——"
"Fight them—"
Hundreds of people in the field were shocked when they heard the sound and drew their weapons one after another.
"Ouch——" Several more miserable screams sounded out one after another.
"Who made the sneak attack——"
A few gleams of cold light flew out from the crowd, but were blocked by the green-shirted disciples of the Tianlong Sect with weapons. A few gray-shirted disciples were unlucky and fell to the ground after being hit by hidden weapons.
Chaos suddenly broke out in front of the mountain gate, and the crisis was imminent.
Ji Tang, Qin Ren and Elder Ma exchanged looks, and their hearts dropped.
Elder Ma said in a deep voice: "Disciples, guard the mountain gate, don't act rashly!" The disciple in green shirt couldn't hold himself back for a long time, and when he saw the other party sneak attack, he couldn't help but make a move, but was stopped in time.
Another scream rang out from the crowd: "The Tianlong Sect is going to kill people——"
Facing the chaos in front of him, Ji Tang's eyes flashed with a stern look. He stretched out his arms, stood up suddenly, and threw himself into the crowd. There was a commotion in the field, and long swords and waist knives struck at Ji Tang with dazzling light.
Ji Tang was in mid-air, kicking his feet sharply.
"嘡啷——"
"Ouch——"
The weapons that were close to him were kicked away one by one. Ji Tang's figure did not fall and he went straight towards the yelling person.
This person, who had just been jumping around in the crowd the most happily, saw that the intruder was brave and knew something was wrong. He rolled on the ground and wanted to get into the crowd. Unexpectedly, Ji Tang arrived in the blink of an eye, and a fist as big as a bowl was in front of him. .
In a hurry, the man drew out his sword and struck back.
Ji Tang's body dropped, his right foot landed on the ground, and he kicked forward with the tip of his left toe, hitting the opponent's wrist.
The weapon was released and before he could scream, he was hit in the chest by Ji Tang's big fist.
The man spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell away, rolled on the ground, and could no longer move.
Ji Tang went over and caught him in his hands. Regardless of the people around him who were confused, he put a little more force on his feet, jumped up, and jumped back.
Seeing his junior brother succeed with one blow, Qin Ren smiled, but his expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became frightened.
A few cold lights suddenly appeared and flew towards Ji Tang in mid-air.
Ji Tang snorted coldly, freed up a hand, slapped his waist, pulled out a soft sword and faced the wind. The silver light danced in a ball, and knocked away the hidden weapon with a clanking sound. Without stopping in mid-air, he picked up a person in his hand, dropped him back to the ground as if it were nothing, and threw the captured person to the ground with a "bang" sound.
Between the ups and downs, and just a few moments of breathing, Ji Tang captured this man in full view, and everyone in the scene was shocked.
Ji Tang, however, had sharp eyes, searching the crowd for the person who had just attacked with a hidden weapon. This person is obviously smarter, but also more sinister. Silently and secretly attacking, people are caught off guard, and in a blink of an eye it is difficult to discern the trace. Also, where did that Long Sihai just go?
Elder Ma deeply agreed with what Jitang did. These people had already planned it. Only by capturing this person for questioning could they know who was behind it. But when he leaned over and took a look, he sighed slightly.
