Entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather suddenly becomes cold.

Several consecutive heavy snowfalls froze the entire capital to the core. It is said that this winter is the coldest in the past 30 years. People huddled at home and refused to go out. They even went to the toilet and were freezing when they came back.

Nowadays, the most popular greeting in the capital has changed from "Have you eaten?" to "What a damn weather it is" and "This year's weather hahaha."

Not only that, the thieves who are known as the most hard-working thieves would rather stay at home. Those in poorer conditions would get under the covers and refuse to come out.

However, there are exceptions. It is said that a thief ran into Zhang Cifu's house and hid on the roof to prepare for a big deal. Unexpectedly, in such a cold weather, Zhang Cifu was busy from lighting the lamp until the middle of the night. The thief was lying on the roof of the house.

He couldn't move, and in the end he had no choice but to roll down from the roof, which alerted the guards in the mansion. Fortunately, Zhang Cifu didn't care, and asked someone to wipe his body with raw snow, and drank a lot of ginger soup.

Only then did he save his life.

Zhang Cifu saw that the thief was pitiful, so he gave him a cotton coat and ten taels of silver. For a time, it became a good talk in the capital, and everyone said that he was a kind-hearted man. However, this Zhang Cifu had never been a kind-hearted master.

He was not lenient at all when he was a political opponent. Some people said that he was just trying to gain fame. However, Zhang Cifu just laughed at these rumors.

In this horrible weather, the policemen from the six doors who should have gone out to patrol the streets have all hid in the duty rooms. Who would cause trouble in this horrible weather when it would freeze to urinate even if they went out to urinate?

The only one who is extremely busy is the Jianghu Department.

Various sects gathered in the capital. These people came from all over the world, and they were all sons and daughters of the world. They disagreed and started fighting. There were suddenly more fights in the city. Although no lives were lost, it was enough for the Shuntian Mansion, which was responsible for the security of the capital.

, Bingma Si drank a pot.

The governor of Shuntian found the Jianghu Division and jointly issued a notice stating that fighting, picking quarrels and provoking troubles in the capital were strictly prohibited, otherwise they would have the power to arrest them. At the same time, the Jianghu Division also posted in important places in the city "In response to Jianghu's new policy, illegal activities are strictly prohibited

Fighting" and other slogans.

Although they are all people in the martial arts world, fighting is common, but these people like to fight in crowded places, and secondly, they like to smash things. After the notice was made and it was made clear that they must compensate for smashing things, these people in the martial arts world

I feel much more at peace.

Those famous sects have also restrained their disciples and strictly prohibited making trouble. After all, the martial arts conference is coming soon, and the court is going to implement the Jianghu New Deal. There are rumors that the sect hierarchy will be implemented. At this juncture, no one wants to cause trouble and bring trouble to the Jianghu.

Create a bad impression.

When I came to the capital, it was still early autumn and I didn’t bring any winter clothes. Fortunately, the benefits of the six-door hotel were pretty good and there were clothes for all seasons. Fan Xiaodao was shameless and asked Yang Deshui for an extra set. It was because he was wearing too much wear and tear from fighting too much.

In fact, it was used by Li Qingniu. After arriving in the capital, Li Qingniu was extremely lazy. He couldn't even open his mouth before reaching for his clothes and food. Not long ago, the family ran out of charcoal. Fan and Zhao were busy with the martial arts competition and forgot to buy it.

If Niu Dafu hadn't stopped him, Li Qingniu would have almost removed the door panel to warm himself up by the fire.

The martial arts conference is scheduled for the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Firstly, the prince is busy with affairs at the end of the year and has too many activities in the second half of the month, so he can't spare time. Secondly, these gangsters have caused a lot of trouble in the capital recently, so they should be sent out quickly to avoid

Branches outside the node.

However, there is a lot of preparation work before the conference.

Especially the investigation and investigation of the various sects. Due to the initial implementation of the Jianghu New Deal, the imperial court approved the implementation of the nine-grade sect system, but the number of places was limited. For example, for the double first-class sects with fourth-grade treatment, the imperial court only gave ten places.

There is no need to worry about martial arts masters such as Shaolin and Wudang, but the four major aristocratic families that are at the first-class level at the same time, Emei, Qingcheng, Kunlun, Kongtong, Diancang, Quanzhen, etc., are all about the same strength.

I'm not sure. In addition, Huashan, Taishan and other Five Mountain Sword Sects will also merge into an alliance to create a Five Mountains Sword Sect, and they will also strive for double first-class. As for the key sects from the fifth level, they will basically start from eight gangs and ten.

Produced in the meeting, as for those small sects, they will be given a rank of seventh grade at most.

There is no compromise in terms of strength among the various sects. Although the level of martial arts is an important consideration, the influence, appeal, size of the sect, and number of students must also be considered comprehensively. Of course, the more important thing is the contribution to the imperial court.

At the same time, there is Chunfeng Yeyulou and Li Juefei, leader of the martial arts alliance, who also need to be considered.

Considering the power among the various sects, the establishment is limited. This is the tone set by Prince Zhu Yan, and this level is also adjusted every three years. The levels are adjusted according to the performance of each sect in the past three years. In this way, each sect

If they want to go further, they must obey the court's words and keep these people firmly in their hands. This is their political purpose.

These must be decided before the martial arts conference, and the conference on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month is just a formality and a formality. Unimportant things will be discussed in the conference, while major matters will be discussed in small meetings. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jianghu Division will organize various

People from the sect held a tea party at the Jianghu Department to determine the first batch of sect lists, which were the double-first-class sects certified by the imperial court.

This is the meeting to decide how to cut the cake.

Shaolin Temple sent the Four Great Vajra, Wudang was led by the deputy headmaster Dangguizi, Emei, Kunlun and other sects, almost all were attended by their heads, and the four major families also sent important figures in their families to participate.

Shaolin and Wudang have long been leaders in the world, and have been closely associated with the imperial court in recent years. They occupy two places without any objection. Emei and Qingcheng are also famous families that have been handed down for hundreds of years, and they also occupy two places.

As for the four major martial arts families, although they cannot be compared with the Li family of Jinling back then, they are all century-old families. Not only do they have extraordinary influence in the world, but they also have many political officials in the court. In terms of scale, financial resources, and prestige, they are also divided.

Four places.

As a result, only Dian Cang, Quanzhen Sect, Kongtong, and Kunlun are left to compete for the remaining two spots.

After Fan Xiaodao finished the introduction, he said: "The imperial court gave ten quotas, and this is roughly how they are allocated. Next, let's decide which family the last two quotas will be allocated to. What do you think?"

Shaolin Wudang is a person with vested interests. Even the head master did not come to such meetings, let alone express his position easily. He maintained his aloof status and said, "We obey the arrangements of the court."

Several other aristocratic families and sects also got what they wanted. However, even if it is a double first-class sect, if it wants to expand its influence in the world and have a say in the world, it must make more friends and fewer enemies in order to fight against them.

The status of Shaolin and Wudang.

Quanzhen headmaster Sheng Xuzi said, "I think we should occupy a quota."

Quanzhen Sect also has a history of hundreds of years, and its status is respected in the world. It just keeps a low profile and does not participate in secular disputes, so its sense of existence is very low. As soon as Sheng Xuzi opened his mouth, he was immediately opposed by Yu Dadi, the head of Dian Cang, "Why?

?”

Taoist priest Shengxu said, "We will give your Majesty the elixir."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present realized that the current National Preceptor, Taiping Taoist Master of Taiping Taoist Temple, was from the Quanzhen Sect of Zhongnan Mountain. The National Preceptor of the Great Tomorrow is one of the most trusted people by His Majesty.

If the sect was not a double first-class, what would His Majesty think if this matter came to his ears?

Fan Xiaodao asked, "What do you think?"

Wudang Dangguizi said, "It makes sense."

The leader of Qingcheng, Wuyu Taoist priest, said: "There is evidence."

The four major aristocratic families also expressed their stance: "We support it."

Among the sects present, Wudang and Qingcheng are Taoist sects, while Shaolin and Emei are Buddhist sects. Buddhism and Taoism each occupy two seats. If the Quanzhen Sect can be brought in, the Taoist sect will occupy three seats and will occupy three seats in the future Wulin discussions.

, and it is easy to reach agreement.

Shaolin is aloof from all transcendental matters and has not expressed its position.

Although Shitai Liulian, the leader of Emei, wanted to object, he had to give up his idea when he saw that Shaolin did not speak.

"In this case, there is still one place left to choose from the three major sects." Fan Xiaodao said, "Of course, this is only the first batch, and the double first-class sects are not fixed. There will be a competition every three years, and the bottom two will be selected.

The elimination system, in this way, maintains the up and down channels of various sects and breaks the sect hierarchy, which is also conducive to the development of Jianghu."

Diancang, Kunlun, Kongtong.

Three sects, three characteristics.

The Diancang sect is located in Cangshan Mountain, Dali, Yunnan. Over the years, Yu Dadi has not dared to settle down in one corner. He has been bent on developing his power in the Central Plains and tried his best to win over the small and medium-sized sects in Lingnan, forming a large-scale group. In terms of number of people, Diancang has the largest number.

The Kunlun Sect is located in the fairy mountain Kunlun. This sect has a small population, but its sword skills are superb. All the disciples who come out of Kunlun have an extraordinary reputation in the world. In the past, the sword god Zhuo Zhaoling once led seven disciples to disrupt the martial arts in the Central Plains.

The world was turned upside down, "The Kunlun sword bleeds into the ocean, and the Yellow River turns yellow again for thousands of miles." In terms of martial arts, Kunlun is unique, but its reputation is also the worst.

The Kongtong sect has the lowest sense of existence among the eight sects. After its founder Fei Hongzi ascended to the throne, he took his martial arts with him. Although he belongs to a famous sect, he has walked a spicy and dangerous road, and the disciples in the sect are mainly strange soldiers.

, fan, whisk, iron rake, double hook, whatever the style.

Yu Dadi said, "We, the Diancang Sect, have many disciples, and most of them are from a minority ethnic group. Our joining the Double First-Class Sect is conducive to realizing the great unity of all ethnic groups. In terms of emotions and reasons, we should be counted among them!"

Bai Qianwan, the leader of Kunlun, said: "If more people can join, then wouldn't the Five Mountains Sword Sect be more qualified than you? Besides, you are not good at martial arts. You are world-famous. Except for the one move with your butt backwards, flat on the sand and falling wild goose, it seems that you are not good at it."

I don’t have any martial arts skills that I can show off.”

"Why, Master Bai is not convinced?"

Bai Qianwan said, "Even if I am convinced, the sword in my hand may not be convinced. In the Kunlun Sect, the winner is the king. Whoever has the fastest sword has the final say."

Bai Qianwan is over forty, tall and handsome, with an arrogant personality. He is known as the best swordsman in Kunlun, but no one has ever seen him take action, but his three disciples, Sword Gu Wu Liuyi and Jian Gang Lu

On August 1st, the swords were at eighty-nine. They were known as the Three Swords of Kunlun. They were extremely famous in the world. Countless masters were defeated by them. Kunlun occupied three of the top 30 seats in the Xiaosheng Jianghu rankings.

Martial arts is evident.

It can be said that in terms of individual combat capabilities, Kunlun ranks among the top three.

One person has many people and the other has great martial arts skills, but no one is willing to give in.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Headmaster Liu of the Kongtong Sect, what do you think?"

Liu Chongyi, the leader of Kongtong, looks red-faced, dark-skinned, and has an honest look. He can't hold back a fart for a long time. Since he came in, he hasn't said a word. He just lowered his head and kept wiping his weapon.

When Tie Hu heard Fan Xiaodao's question, he said in a naive dialect, "Goose feels that we can't come up with anything even if we discuss it. It's better to have a fight on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month and decide the outcome by force."

"What do you think?"

"Since ancient times, there has been no first in civility and no second in military power. Since they both refuse to give in, that's all."

Seeing this, Fan Xiaodao could only say, "Okay, let's decide the outcome in one battle!"

Someone outside the door said: "I don't agree!"

As he spoke, a middle-aged man broke in regardless of the obstruction of everyone outside the door, injuring several people.
