Chapter 470 Go to the Meeting One-On-One
There are many old buildings in the old city of Carp City, and Crane Cry Pavilion is one of them. According to Ye Xuhui's introduction, this building was nine stories tall. In the past, the people of Old Carp City used to say that if they wanted to ascend to Chongxiao Nine, they would first ascend the Crane Cry Building. This was the glorious history of this building. The Crane Cry Pavilion is now one of the public properties of the Fujian-Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.
Gu Tianyou rejected Ye Xuhui's request to accompany him. He went downstairs alone and looked up at the nine-story wooden building that was said to be a miracle in architectural history. Indeed, it was hard to believe that such a tall wooden building could last for more than a hundred years. According to folklore, this building was designed and constructed by a master woodsman who was proficient in the secret arts of Luban Sect during the Tongzhi period of the previous dynasty. All of them were gloomy wood that was comparable to metal and iron, and their structure was exquisite and contained the Heavenly Dao.
The building had nine floors, but not everyone could come up to the ninth floor to eat. There are strict rules for the hospitality of the whole restaurant. People were divided into 369 grades, wood was divided into pear and red sandalwood, and every level of hospitality was carefully divided. Ye Shaogang arranged this Hongmen banquet in the ninth level of Crane Cry Pavilion, which could be considered the highest reception standard.
Before Gu Tianyou came, he contacted Daoist Priest Wang Zhichang of the Northern Sect of the Xuanmen Sect and did his homework before coming over.
Fifty-five years ago, a grand and vigorous movement erupted, almost destroying the entire Xuanmen Sect. As one of the publicly recognized leaders of the Xuanmen Sect, the Northern Sect suffered a great impact. It was during that most difficult period that the people of the Northern Sect transported many of the Xuanmen Classics they had collected to the relatively infamous Southern Sect's mountain gate, which had barely suffered any damage. Ten years later, the catastrophe was over. The people of the Northern Sect wanted to retrieve the classics, but the Southern Sect rejected them.
Back then, the Southern Sect's Sect Master was a Taoist priest of the Xuan generation. It wasn't impossible for him to propose returning the book, but he had to agree to the unity of the north and the south. As for the selection of the Sect Master after the Unity, it was based on the cultivation of the technique. As a result, everyone in the Northern Sect had died in that calamity, and they knew that no one could compare to the Daoist Priest of the Southern Sect in terms of profoundness and profoundness. This matter was temporarily put aside. However, the two sects formed a new alliance. Every ten years, there would be a spell exchange. In fact, it was a life-and-death contest. After forty years, the two sides had suffered casualties, and this enmity grew deeper and deeper.
Wang Zhichang said that the classics of the sect had to be recovered no matter what. However, the people of the Southern Sect had always been concerned about the unity of the north and the south to obtain the orthodoxy of the Xuanmen Sect. The two sides set up a trap according to this. As long as there were experts from the Northern Sect who could defeat the experts of the same generation of the Southern Sect, they would return all the classics to the Northern Sect. If the Southern Sect had experts who could defeat the Northern Sect experts, then the Northern Sect would give up their orthodoxy.
These past few years, both sides had suffered tragic injuries, but they had not been able to determine whether they would win or lose.
He remembered Li Yangming once saying that this Jianghu was very big. With his talent in dragon lattice and the perfection of both martial arts and martial arts, he only dared to claim to be the fifth in the world. It could be imagined that at that time, he knew that at least four people were stronger than him. However, Gu Tianyou had traveled around the world for so long. He had only seen one King Ming who was truly stronger than Li Yangming. Hu Rumeng and Wang Xian were at most at the same level as him. In terms of talent foundation, they were probably inferior to him.
There are mountains beyond the mountains, there are heavens beyond the heavens.
Wang Zhichang reminded him that the enmity between the two sects was extremely deep. Once they intersected, he could not expect the other party to show mercy. A slap in the face like this would definitely arouse the enemy's hatred. Back then, that expert of the Profound Word Generation should still be in the mortal world, only pursuing the Heavenly Dao and not appearing in the world for a long time. He added that this senior and the Zen Master Yuankong, both of whom were from the Stealth Religion, were both at the level of comprehending the Dao of God, so they shouldn't stand out from the crowd according to common sense. However, Mr. Gu is an extraordinary person. There is no one among the Southern Sect's Zhizi generation that can defeat him. Perhaps this senior of the Xuanzi generation will come out of the mountain for you again. So you need to be careful.
Gu Tianyou asked himself if he could refuse. Wang Zhichang said that if he refused, it would mean that the Northern Sect had lost for a while. He pleaded earnestly, Mr. Gu's cultivation is enough to suppress the people of the Zhizi generation of the Southern Sect. Since the 1980s, the Northern Sect has never had such a close chance of winning. The fifth exchange conference will be held this year. If Mr. Gu can defeat the Southern Sect's spirit on behalf of the Northern Sect, we are very confident that this competition will end this year.
The Fujian-Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce was backed by the Xuanmen Southern Sect, and this matter seemed to be becoming even more complicated. Wang Xian had invaded the territory of Yin Mountain Wolf City in the northwest, but at the same time, he had also suffered a frenzied retaliation from the other party. According to Sun Jingfei, the situation was rather anxious. Long Xing Society seemed to have made up his mind to stay in the northwest. Once they swallowed Mount Yin Wolf City, they would be able to complete a qualitative improvement in an instant. With Long Xing Society's background, this was entirely possible.
Gu Tianyou felt that if he didn't get anything from his trip to the southeast, he would probably be left behind by Teacher Wang. If he could borrow the conflict between the two sects of the Xuanmen Sect to bring the Northern Sect to his own camp for his own use, it would obviously be of positive significance to the confrontation with Long Xing Society in the future. It was a beautiful thing to think about, but it was extremely difficult to do.
After entering the Crane Cry Pavilion, he climbed up the spiraling stairs. As he walked, he thought about it. Ye Shaogang had also entered the Xuanmen South Sect, and he was also a character of the Zhizi generation. This Ye Clan's eldest brother's cultivation was slightly inferior to his own, but his cultivation in martial arts was not inferior to his own. However, there were no internal injuries on his body, and he was currently in his peak state. On the other hand, his seven souls were weak, and he could barely use his True Kung Fu. Ye Shaogang was already a headache. In addition to the other experts of the Zhizi generation in the Southern Sect, it was not easy to suppress him!
