After scrambling and crawling out of the backyard, the gratitude on the old man's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned ferocious, and his temperament also changed accordingly.
It's just that this change disappeared in a flash, and the old man returned to the image of a market merchant again, and restored his smiling expression, as if nothing had happened just now
? In the east of Pingyang City, there is a pavilion surrounded by mountains and rivers, which occupies nearly one-fifth of the area in the east of the city. On the majestic gate hangs a plaque with "Zhoufu" written in small seal characters.
The Zhou family, the famous magic sword in Shanxi martial arts, is located here, and has been passed down for more than two hundred years.
The contemporary patriarch, Zhou Wenyuan, is born in the blue. Not only is his martial arts powerful, but he also manages the Zhou family well. He has become one of the top ten families in the martial arts, and the number one force in the Pingyang martial arts.
However, Zhou Wenyuan's face is bitter now, and he is not as energetic as before.
"Everyone is invited to come here today, I think everyone knows it well. The two worlds of good and evil are coming one after another, and our days of peace are over.
The bloody storm in the rivers and lakes has swept across, and the Hengshan faction has chosen to avoid the edge for the time being. Pingyang will soon become a battlefield where good and evil confront each other.
If we continue to be neutral, I am afraid that we will suffer a common blow from both sides. If we want to keep the inheritance in troubled times, we can only have a chance if we let go of our prejudices and work together. "
However, any family with some inheritance has experienced a battle between good and evil. In every possible battle between good and evil, there will be a big faction in the front.
These small forces in the martial arts world, they only need to follow the flag and shout at the last moment, and they have never really participated in the game at all.
Now the Hengshan faction has slipped away first, making it clear that the Wuyue Sword faction will not rush to the front line. The local martial arts forces in Shanxi alone will definitely not be able to hold back the Demon Cult's soldiers, and Pingyang will become a battlefield sooner or later.
The current situation is obvious, no matter which side they join, they will be killed as cannon fodder on the front line.
It's all old world, so naturally no one wants to be cannon fodder. Originally, I wanted to wait and see the situation, but I didn't expect that it would be time to make a decision so soon.
The white-haired old man on the left suddenly put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, bowing his hands to everyone.
"Everyone, please forgive the old man for making a fuss here."
"Qiu has participated in two battles between good and evil, and I'm afraid few people know more about the dangers than me.
The battle eighteen years ago was okay, the main battlefield was in Huashan, and Hengshan also had a bloody battle, but in general it was resolved by the Five Sacred Sword Sect, and we just followed suit.
But the big melee in forty-five years was extraordinary. The entire Shanxi martial arts world is in chaos, killing everywhere from south to north.
Not only the good and the evil were at war, but also the hatred that had been suppressed in the past also broke out at that time.
Wanshengmen, Xishan Shaolin Temple, Yandang Sect, Wuzheng Villa, and Taiyue Sect, the five first-class forces that once shook the world, either declined or disappeared.
There are countless second- and third-rate gangs and martial arts families that were swallowed up by the war. After the war, the overall power of Shanxi Wulin was directly pulled down a notch, and it has not recovered so far.
Of course, there are also great opportunities amidst great chaos. Now there are only two first-class sects in Shanxi, Hengshan Sect and Qingliang Temple, both rose after that World War.
If possible, the old man would rather not have such a big opportunity. It's just that we can't refuse now, people from the Huashan faction and the Devil's Cult have entered Pingyang.
As Zhou Daxia said, we have to make a choice. This decision is not easy to make. We are located at the junction of the war between good and evil. If we are not careful, we will become cannon fodder.
If we want to preserve the family inheritance in troubled times, we can only survive if we unite. The old man proposed that Zhou Daxia be the leader of my Pingyang Wulin to lead us through this difficulty. "
The signs of "child care" are so obvious that no one would believe that there was no prior arrangement.
However, Zhou Wenyuan, who was the person involved, was very depressed. It was really not his arrangement.
"The leader of martial arts" is very powerful. If the word "Pingyang" is added in front of it, the gold content will be greatly reduced.
Pingyang is such a big place, how strong can the martial arts forces be?
A little bit of weight in total is only the four major martial arts families, plus an escort agency. The rest are small, low-level forces and a bunch of scattered people.
Zhou Wenyuan couldn't wish for being the boss at other times. But the situation is different now. To sit in the position of "Leader", you have to bear the responsibility of both good and evil.Know the heavy responsibility of dealing with people.
My family knows their own affairs, whether it is the name of the top ten families in the martial arts, or the nickname of my master of the sword, it still has some weight in the land of Sanjin.
Even if the entire Pingyang martial arts is added up, it is at best a quasi-first-class force in the Jianghu. With this little power, why should I let others sell face?
Just look at the reaction of the Huashan faction. When they arrived at the boundary of Pingyang, they didn't even inform them of the gangsters. Obviously they didn't take them seriously.
The Devil's Cult sent people over, but everyone has a family and a business. It's okay to open a vest trumpet, but it's too embarrassing for the whole family to go there.
In this context, he became the leader of the alliance. It's fine if the talk goes well, if the talk breaks down, maybe his Zhou family will be expelled from the world immediately.
"Senior Qiu speaks too seriously, Wen Yuan knows that he has little talent and learning, and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.
What's more, I and the others are all family friends, so we can just discuss everything, and there is no need to be a leader at all.
The most important thing now is to unify the position first, presumably you all have concerns in your mind, let's talk about your opinions first"
Before he finished speaking, it seemed that he had discovered something. Zhou Wenyuan's expression changed drastically, and he asked sharply: "Who dares to come here to act wildly and deceive me that there is no one in Pingyang Wulin?"
While speaking, Zhou Wenyuan flew out, and everyone hurriedly followed, trying to catch this unexpected guest.
It's a pity that everyone's reaction was still a step slow, and only saw a figure passing by, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhou Wenyuan's face was gloomy and terrifying. Today's gathering was organized by him, and the place was still in his lair.
If he hadn't been restless just now and deliberately tested it, he would not have known that someone was bugging.
Everyone's complexions were not much better. Zhou Wenyuan was certainly ashamed just now, but why didn't everyone walk through the gate of hell?
In case their decision is leaked out in advance, there might be a series of massacres.
After calming down, Zhou Wenyuan forced himself to ask calmly: "Boss Zhao, you are well-informed, do you know that there are such a number of people in Jianghu? ?
