Chapter 245: The Divine Turtle Still Lives (IV)
Since arriving in Changde Prefecture, Master Dian Cang and his disciple have not rested for a single day.

They wandered along both sides of the Yuan River, saw the fog lingering on Qin Creek, and admired the tranquility of the lake.

The scenery along the way is quite beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.

But they did not come here to sightsee, and there was no trace of the two people they were looking for.

Although the two men acted low-key, they were still discovered by some powerful local forces in Changde Prefecture.

The local Deshan Sect, Shimen Sword Sect, and Taifu Sect each secretly sent people to invite him.

This time, old man Dian Cang did not refuse and brought Zou Songqing to visit them, where they were treated as guests of honor by these local major sects.

After learning the purpose of the two men’s visit to Changde Prefecture, the leader of the local major sect patted his chest loudly.

As long as you are in Changde Prefecture, it is impossible to escape their eyes.

The major sects kept their word and spared no effort to help in the search.

After all, this is an opportunity to make friends with a great master of the martial arts world, so how can I let it go easily?

Although these emerging sects are not well-known in the martial arts world, they have a huge influence in Changde.

Several major factions took action one after another.

In just a few days, the number of small boats floating on the Yuan River increased several times more.

The small forces under its jurisdiction are even more numerous and active, walking through the streets.

This scared some uninformed forces, and the local leading sect almost turned Changde Prefecture upside down, and no one knew what they were looking for.

For a time, the martial arts world in Changde was in turmoil.

Many people in the martial arts world were talking about it.

Even a large number of people appeared on Dongting Lake.

The influence of the master of Miaozhi is vividly demonstrated here.

unfortunately
What made the local gangs scratch their heads was that the two people that Old Eagle was looking for could not be found.

It would be fine if these two people were not in Changde Prefecture, so that everyone would not be so anxious.

However, news came from below that their traces had been found in many places in Changde.

But when they went to look for him, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

After searching for more than a month, there was still no result.

Zou Songqing felt a little embarrassed, so he found several sect leaders and said that the two men might have left Changde Prefecture.

The general idea is to let them give up the search.

However, several major local factions were unwilling to give up this step and were determined not to leave Changde.

At this moment, it is no longer just about making friends with the masters of Miaozhi, the local bullies also have to save face.

Overtly or covertly, people from all walks of life in Changde Prefecture are taking action.

They were busy as hell and more than half a month passed.

The leaders are somewhat numb.

Fortunately, a happy event at Dingsheng Martial Arts School finally gave them an opportunity to divert their attention.

“Master, with such a big commotion, these two people should not be here anymore.”

On a small trail in Taoyuan County, Zou Songqing was leading a horse and said with a headache.

Shang Sufeng shook his head:

“According to the information from several leaders, they have appeared in Changde several times before, and most likely settled here.”

Zou Songqing asked: “Then what is Master’s plan?”

“Wait.”

Shang Sufeng was much more patient than him: “Dingsheng Martial Arts School is closely connected with Hengshan School. Their happy event is enough to attract the attention of local martial artists.”

“This matter is over, and the limelight of looking for them is over too.”

“Let’s wait for a while until the situation calms down. I will have a way to lure them out.”

His eagle eyes flashed with a sharp light.

but.
For the first time, Zou Songqing did not have much confidence in his master’s arrangements.

If these two people were really in Changde Prefecture, their ability to hide their shortcomings would be beyond the reach of others.

Moreover, they acted cautiously, and even if the master was an expert in the mystical truth, he could not do much in this matter.

Shang Sufeng saw that his eyes were wandering and couldn’t help but cough lightly.

“Since they are from Changde, they traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to Yunnan and Guizhou to look for the remains, and also ventured to Hengyang to see the Sword God. It can be seen that they have a strong desire for martial arts.”

“Therefore, as a teacher, you can cater to the students’ preferences.”

There was a hint of pride in his words: “There are Panzhou inscriptions in the world, so can’t there be Wuling inscriptions?”

Zou Songqing suddenly realized.

He nodded repeatedly, it was indeed a good idea.

While discussing the details with his master, Zou Songqing suddenly turned his head and looked towards the river bank beside the road.

Next to a dead peach tree, there was a hunchbacked old man sitting quietly fishing with a bamboo pole in his hand.

This is a land of fish and rice, with many anglers. He was just an ordinary old man.

Zou Songqing looked away and didn’t stay there for long.

Little did they know that as they moved, the old man’s wrinkled face showed a few smiles.

……

At the foot of Wuling Mountain, on the west side of the city, lights and decorations are hung today.

Dingsheng Martial Arts School is very bustling.

It is well known among the local big sects that the Dingsheng Martial Arts School is on good terms with the Hengshan Sect, especially today’s groom, who once had the experience of learning martial arts in Hengshan.

You have to look at both the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, and the martial arts school is thriving and there are many good players.

Naturally, there were many visitors coming to congratulate.

There were hundreds of tables set up inside and outside the martial arts hall, and almost all the important figures around were present.

The sounds of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and the noise, the hot atmosphere seemed to set the martial arts hall on fire.

Some people were talking about today’s happy event, while others were discussing the recent missing person incident in Changde Prefecture.

In the main seat of the hall, in addition to several local respected seniors, there are also several heads, plus the owner Long and the deputy owner.

According to common sense.

After today’s ceremony for the newlyweds, it’s time to go to the main seat and pay respects to all the seniors and elders.

However, many guests were puzzled.
The newlyweds actually avoided the main seats and went straight into the inner hall.

Everyone else was sent away, and only the deputy museum owner Long Ping led them in.

This really aroused everyone’s curiosity.

As for the master, even if he doesn’t give face to the local leaders, will he not give face to the two Hengshan disciples?
But the Hengshan disciple wearing the Yanfeng Yanyu hat seemed not to see it and sat down leisurely to drink.

He seemed to not care at all about Dingsheng Martial Arts School’s rude behavior.

The Hengshan Sect is the largest sect in the world. What kind of people are in this inner hall?
Looking at the owner of Longkui Pavilion who was entertaining the guests with drinks, Luan Anyi, the leader of Shimen Sword Sect, finally couldn’t sit still after drinking three cups in a row.

Also by his side were Bao Zhaoao, the head of the Deshan School, and Zhong Daoxin, the leader of the Taifu School.

The two also had doubts in their hearts, but like those local senior celebrities, they would not speak out easily.

But
Luan Anyi is much bolder than him.

The Shimen Sword Sect not only has great influence in Changde Prefecture, but also has close ties with the Emei Sect.

Luan Anyi’s father-in-law once studied martial arts in Emei, so the Shimen Sword School has a close connection with Emei.

Although his sword skills are new to the martial arts world, they originated from the Emei Shaoqing sword skills.

With this identity, Luan Anyi speaks with more confidence than others.

At least he wouldn’t feel guilty facing the prosperous martial arts school which had the support of a top sect.

He still understands etiquette.

He first drank with the two disciples of Hengshan, then nodded to several local people, and then toasted to Long Kui.

“Master Luan is too polite.”

“Come on, do it!”

After they finished drinking, Luan Anyi smiled and asked, “Brother Long, I wonder which distinguished guest is visiting us today?”

“Although our sects are not famous in the martial arts world, we are still the masters of the land. If there are masters here, we should go and greet them to avoid being impolite.”

His words were orderly and matched with his very elegant appearance, but they did not seem abrupt at all.

Long Kui was slightly stunned.

Everyone looked at his expression and could see that he was in a difficult situation.

In such occasions, combined with the seating arrangement of the people in the main seat, everyone was shocked and knew that the person in the inner hall was extremely extraordinary.

A local celebrity instantly remembered the recent search for someone in Changde Prefecture.

I couldn’t help but ask:

“Could it be that Senior Shang from the Dian Cang Sect has arrived?”

Luan Anyi and Zhong Daoxin couldn’t help shaking their heads when they heard this. They knew it was definitely not this person. A few days ago, they had invited Old Ying to come here together, but he declined.

Since such a master has refused, he most likely will not come. Besides, he has no friendship with Dingsheng Martial Arts School.

The words of old eagle.
I’m afraid he’s still looking for those two people at this time.

Although Long Kui remained silent, everyone looked at him and was surprised.
The hesitant Long Kui actually looked at the two people from Hengshan.

How could the person sitting at the main seat be a fool? He immediately made a guess.

It must be a senior from the Hengshan School who is present!
The two disciples from Hengshan didn’t make any statement, but just smiled at Long Kui.

Master Long immediately understood and made a mental calculation.

“There is indeed a master present today, but…”

Long Kui took a deep breath and said, “Please forgive my impoliteness. Without your instruction, I would never dare to bother you.”

When these words came out, Luan Anyi was shocked.

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck from behind, and the hairs on my body stood up in an instant!

The person who just brought the newlyweds to the inner hall for a visit was Deputy Director Long Ping.

At this time, Master Long showed such an attitude.

This couldn’t help but give rise to an incredibly bold idea among the famous masters of Changde.

Could it be! ! !

Luan Anyi stared at Long Kui with eyes wide open, and immediately toasted the two Hengshan disciples again.

“My two great disciples, I have always admired Senior Hengshan. Today is an auspicious day. I wonder if this senior is free?”

A Hengshan disciple said with a smile:

“Master Luan, you don’t need to ask us. Today is a good day for Dingsheng Martial Arts School, so Master Long will have the final say.”

“We just came here to ask for a glass of wedding wine.”

Seeing their chaotic aura, another Hengshan disciple immediately added:
“My elder can come here to celebrate. If we talk about leisure time, he must have it.”

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed.

He turned his gaze to Long Kui again.

No matter if it was the head sect leader or the elders, they all gave Pavilion Master Long a look, and their eyes were extremely fiery.

Long Kui couldn’t control himself and excused himself.

Not long after, he came back from the inner hall.

“Everyone, please follow me.”

Deshan Sect leader Bao Zhaoao, Taifu Sect leader Zhong Daoxin, and Sect Leader Luan who had been speaking all stood up at once. An old man from Changde was so excited that he knocked over a glass of wine on the table when he stood up.

The two Hengshan disciples ignored them, clinked glasses with each other, and continued drinking and eating.

This strange scene was really incomprehensible to all the guests at the martial arts hall.

There were nine people following the owner of Longkui Pavilion towards the inner hall.

After walking only a few dozen steps, we arrived at a very elegant and quiet place.

The groom, Long Zhaofu, was standing respectfully beside his mother.

The bride was serving tea to a woman sitting in the second seat in the hall.

Everyone outside saw the woman in green talking to the bride, but they couldn’t hear what she was saying.

Long Ping sat next to the young woman with a smile on her face.

The masters and elders have already made some guesses about this distinguished person.

With his heart pounding, he couldn’t help but look towards the main seat in the hall.

There was a man in blue who they dared not look directly at.

This young couple has a demeanor and spirit that is rarely seen in the world.

If it were in the past, people would still be a little hesitant.

Since the Sword-Asking Ceremony at Mount Tianshan, all kinds of magical rumors have spread throughout the martial arts world.

There were also several people present who were in Hengyang at the time.

At this moment, I took a glance and was horrified!

I have great admiration for the two masters of Dingsheng Martial Arts School. I wonder how they managed to invite them to Changde City.

If this news gets out, the door to this martial arts gym will be broken down in an instant!
“Meet the Sword God!”

They shouted in unison, with deep respect on their faces and their hands firmly bowed, as they came into the hall to greet him.

Sect Leader Luan exclaimed:

“I went to Hengyang a few days ago and saw the ultimate martial arts. I thought I would never have the chance to see the Sword God again in this life. I didn’t expect to meet him again. It’s really a great blessing in my life!”

He speaks from the heart and wants more courtesy.

Suddenly he found himself being held up by an invisible force and he couldn’t even bow.

Not only him, but also several guests who came to the inner hall were like this.

No matter how powerful they are, they seem to be completely useless in the face of this invisible force.

People who practice martial arts have keen perception.

This deep sense of powerlessness brought their awe to a peak.

It is rumored that the Sword God has the ability to capture dragons and control cranes from a distance.

Today, I feel that the rumors are still too conservative.

The elders and masters thought they had some ability, but in their eyes, this person didn’t move at all, and all their actions were restricted.

The gap between them is like a natural chasm.

The ageless face was before their eyes, and everyone’s heart was in turmoil, and their breathing suddenly stopped.

“You don’t need to be polite.”

“I’m here today just to drink a glass of wedding wine.”

The young man waved his hand and smiled, “You are too polite. I am stealing the show from the host family. If this happens, the two museum owners will criticize me.”

“Where there!”

Long Kui and Long Ping were very excited and they all smiled and shook their heads.

Long Zhaofu, who was waiting on the side, said respectfully:
“Master, your presence is here. I am extremely terrified and don’t know how to entertain you. I just hope that you two elders can have a few more glasses of wine.”

He pulled the bride and kowtowed together again.

These two are the younger generation, and Long Ping’s son once studied martial arts in Hengshan.

The elders will naturally accept the gifts from the younger generations.

“Brother, the two of them toasted and kowtowed. On such a festive day, how could you not express your gratitude as the head of a sect?”

Qu Feiyan’s eyes were filled with smile.

Zhao Rong nodded: “Okay.”

“Since you are in Wuling, I will teach you a piece of Peach Blossom Land Sword Technique, which is full of falling petals and free and easy.”

Long Ping was overjoyed, and the owner of Longkui Pavilion was also very excited.

This is a great fortune.

“Why don’t you thank me now!”

The newlyweds bowed again hurriedly.

Several old masters were also envious.

Even though it was a sword technique that had never been heard of, it was bestowed by the Sword God, so how could it be an ordinary item?
However, these people also have a rough idea of ​​what is going on.

Coming to the inner hall to pay a visit and just try to make some friends was already the limit.

After exchanging a few polite words, he left with Long Kui and the newlyweds.

Only Long Ping was left here.

The only old friend from that time was Long Ping.

This is something that others cannot envy.

“Brother Rong”

Long Ping sighed: “The gift you gave is too expensive.”

Zhao Rong smiled and recalled:
“My soul is broken by the Chu River, and leaves fall in the red October sky.”

“Back then, in the north of Hengyang.”

“When I was still working at the escort agency, Master Long gave me a precious old ginseng as a gift when he led the martial arts hall group away from Hengyang.”

Long Ping blushed: “That’s not really a precious thing.”

Zhao Rong said:

“That’s wrong. Later, I got a lot of older ginseng.”

“But it is not as precious as the one found in the north of the city.”
