Chapter 36: A Hundred Year Birthday Banquet!
Stepping on the morning light, Lin Pingzhi was led by Song Qingshu to the Purple Cloud Palace. At that time, Song Yuanqiao and the others had already changed into new clothes and were about to help Yu Daiyan out. When they saw Lin Pingzhi, they couldn't help but greet him first. Unexpectedly, at that moment, the Kunlun Sect's Sect Leader, He Taichong, handed over a greeting card and arrived with seven or eight disciples.
Not long after, the five elders of the Kongtong Sect came with their disciples, followed by Nun Jingxuan of the Emei Sect, Ji Xiaofu, Bei Jinyi, and other female disciples. Then, the Divine Fist Sect, the Sea Sand Sect, the Giant Whale Sect, the Wushan Sect, and so on…Many leaders of sects and gangs came to the mountain to pay their respects.
However, although they said that they were here to pay their respects, they had hidden weapons. The gifts they gave were mostly some peaches and noodles that they had bought from the town at the foot of the mountain. They had bought them in a hurry. Not only did it not match Zhang Sanfeng's status as a martial arts grandmaster, but it also did not match the imposing manner of the sect masters and leaders of the various sects.
Emei Sect was the only one who had given him a truly valuable gift. Other than the sixteen-colored precious jade, there was also a red brocade Daoist robe. It was embroidered with a hundred different characters of 'longevity' with gold thread. It took a lot of effort.?
At this moment, how could Song Yuanqiao and the others not know that these people had ill intentions? Even Lin Pingzhi could not help but shake his head. He knew very well why these people had come uninvited.
The Supreme Martial Artist, the Dragon Slaying Saber, commanded the world, and no one dared to disobey!
More than ten years ago, a Dragon Slaying Saber appeared out of nowhere and shocked the world. Martial artists from all walks of life fought for it, causing countless deaths and injuries. In the end, the saber fell into the hands of the Heavenly Eagle Cult. To establish their prestige, the Heavenly Eagle Cult held a Saber Raising Assembly on Mount Wangpan. However, they did not expect that it would attract the Golden Fur Lion King, Xie Xun, one of the Ming Cult's Four Guardian Kings, to come and snatch the saber.
During the Battle of Mount Wangpan, the Golden Lion King Xie Xun had killed many people and snatched the Dragon Slaying Saber. Zhang Cuishan of Wudang Sect and Yin Susu of the Heavenly Eagle Cult had gone after him, but they never expected that he would disappear without a trace.
They had disappeared together with Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun for ten years. Now that they had reappeared in the Chinese server, it naturally attracted the greed of the martial artists from all over the world. They wanted to obtain the whereabouts of Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun from them. That was why they could not wait to gather at Mount Wudang in the name of birthday celebrations. Although they said that they wanted to celebrate their birthday, they were actually treasured swords!
Sure enough, as soon as the birthday banquet began, Xi Huazi of Kunlun Sect took the lead and said,""Perfected Zhang, Great Swordsman Song, to be honest, the reason we came here today is firstly to congratulate Perfected Zhang on his birthday, and secondly, to inquire about the whereabouts of the evil Golden Fur Lion King, Xie Xun, from your esteemed sect's Swordsman Zhang Five.”
"Not bad!"
The Five Elders of the Kongtong Sect continued," Not only did Xie Xun steal the Seven Wounds Fist manual from our sect, he also killed countless disciples of our sect. If the Zhang Five don't tell us where he is today, we won't let this matter rest!"”
Seeing Kunlun Sect and Kongtong Sect join hands to launch an attack, many sects and forces were tempted. Then, the leaders and elders of Divine Fist Sect, Sea Sand Sect, Giant Whale Sect, and other large sects exchanged glances with each other and said,"
"Perfected Zhang, please forgive me. The previous sect master of my Sea Sand Sect, Lei Wu, died tragically at the hands of Xie Xun. We must take revenge for this.”
"Xie Xun killed the only son of our Giant Whale Sect's Sect Master. We have to take revenge!”
"There are also the disciples of my Divine Fist Position Sect. They had no grudges with Xie Xun, but they were roared to death by him. How can we not take revenge for such a great grudge?”
Seeing this, Zhang Cuishan could not help but feel bitter. Although he knew that this day would come when he first returned, he did not expect it to come so quickly. In the end, he had underestimated the allure of the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Fortunately, the Wudang Sect had Zhang Sanfeng, a peerless grandmaster. Although these people shouted fiercely, they did not dare to really attack. However, there were others who dared to.
"Amitabha!"
In the midst of the commotion, everyone suddenly heard a Buddhist chant. It was clear and bright, as if it came from afar, but it also sounded like it came from beside them."Shaolin Temple Abbot Kong Wen, along with his junior brothers Kong Zhi, Kong Xing, and his disciples, wishes Perfected Zhang a long life of happiness…"
As soon as he finished speaking, three eminent monks led a dozen monks and slowly walked into the Zixiao Palace. Master Kong Wen's white eyebrows drooped down to his eyes, like a long-browed arhat. Master Kong Xing's body was majestic and looked mighty. Finally, Master Kong Zhi had a bitter face and the corners of his mouth were drooping.
Zhang Sanfeng still had a trace of friendship with Shaolin Temple. When he saw the Shaolin monks arrive, regardless of whether they had good or bad intentions, he smiled and said,"Today, there are so many guests on Mount Wudang. I have only lived for a hundred years, so how dare I trouble the three divine monks?”
In the face of Zhang Sanfeng, a peerless great grandmaster, Kong Wen and the other two naturally did not dare to be arrogant. They hurriedly replied,"It's this old monk and the others who came late to pay their respects. I hope Perfected Zhang won't take offense.”
"No worries, no worries."
Zhang Sanfeng had lived in the Shaolin Temple when he was young. Naturally, he would not take offense to the three eminent monks from the Shaolin Temple over such a small matter. He immediately smiled and asked his eldest disciple, Song Yuanqiao, to come forward and serve tea.
The three monks sat down and drank a cup of tea. Then, they heard Kong Wen say,""Perfected Zhang, we are all your juniors, so we shouldn't have mentioned anything else besides congratulating you on your birthday. However, as the leader of the Shaolin Sect, I have a few words to say to you frankly. Please don't take offense, Immortal Zhang.”
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he understood and went straight to the point,"Three eminent monks, are you also here for my fifth disciple, Zhang Cuishan?”
"That's right."
"We have two things to ask Swordsman Zhang the Five about. First, Swordsman Zhang the Five killed 71 people from our Shaolin Sect's Dragon Gate Escort and killed six Shaolin monks. How should we end the lives of these 77 people? The second thing is that my senior brother, Master Kong Jian, has been merciful and virtuous all his life. He has never fought with others, but he was tragically killed by the Golden Lion King, Xie Xun. I heard that Swordsman Zhang of the Five knows the whereabouts of that Xie, so I hope Swordsman Zhang of the Five can give me some information.”
Faced with the interrogation of the Shaolin Monastery monks, Zhang Cuishan stood up with a complicated expression on his face. He smiled bitterly and replied,"Master Kong Wen, the 77 lives of the Dragon Gate Escort and Shaolin monks were not caused by me! Zhang Cuishan had been taught by his teacher all his life. Although he was stupid, he didn't dare to lie. As for who killed these 77 people, I know, but I don't want to say it clearly. This is the first thing!”
At this point, his emotions seemed to fluctuate a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said,"As for the second matter! "Master Kong Jian passed away and returned to the west. The world mourned for him. However, I was sworn brothers with Golden Fur Lion King. To be honest, I know where Xie Xun is. However, in the martial arts world, the word 'righteousness' is the most important!" Zhang Cuishan's head can be broken and blood can be spilled, but I will never reveal the whereabouts of my adopted brother. If you want to threaten me with death, kill me or cut me up, please do it!”
Hearing Zhang Cuishan's words, Kong Wen could not help but frown. He knew that Zhang Cuishan's words were true, and he did not expect that the seemingly refined Zhang Cuishan would have such a strong side. For a moment, he did not know how to respond. He could only recite Amitabha and then look at Zhang Sanfeng."Perfected Zhang, please tell me how to end today's matter!”
Zhang Sanfeng said," My disciple has already made it clear. He didn't kill the Dragon Gate Escort and your sect's disciples. As for Xie Xun's whereabouts, he won't tell me. Since that's the case, I won't force him!"”
Among the three Shaolin monks of the Kong generation, Kong Zhi had the worst temper!
With his temperament, he was about to attack Zhang Cuishan the moment he saw him. However, Kong Wen and Kong Xing stopped him, so he suppressed himself. After hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, he could not hold back anymore and shouted,"Perfected Zhang, it's easy for you to say. Your disciple just said a few words. Are you going to ignore the lives of my Shaolin disciples and the injustice of Senior Brother Kong Jian's blood sea?”
"Swordsman Zhang Five!"
At this point, Kong Zhi's voice suddenly became high-pitched. His angry eyes glared at Zhang Cuishan."We won't ask about the Dragon Gate Escort Agency for now, but you have to tell us about the whereabouts of that evil thief Xie Xun.”
"Hey!"
However, just as Kong Zhi finished speaking, a cold laugh suddenly sounded from the crowd. Immediately after, a slightly feminine voice faintly sounded,"What a good 'must-not-see',' must-not-heed','must-not-see'! If that Dragon Slaying Saber wasn't in Xie Xun's hands, would Grandmaster still be so anxious to find his whereabouts?”
