Chapter 360
There was nothing to discuss in this meeting of the Zhanglong Sect. It was mainly listening to Sect Master Qu's arrangements, especially as the Sect Master of the Three Mystical Sect, one of the attached sects, Liu Xiaolou only opened his mouth once during the whole process and said one word: "Yes."
The meeting was declared over.
Liu Xiaolou glanced at several elders and important inner sect disciples of the Zhanglong Sect in the cave hall, who were discussing today's affairs in groups of three or five. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he sensibly did not join in.
Looking back, he saw Ba Tianyou of the Lingqiu Sect rubbing against the high-level officials of the Zhanglong Sect, standing on the periphery of the circle with a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to squeeze in, nodding and laughing from time to time, making it look as if people were talking to him, but in fact, no one paid attention to him.
Liu Xiaolou shook his head and finally walked away. If you can't join in, you have to squeeze in, that's too embarrassing, no need!
Returning to the courtyard, seeing that everyone was there, he clapped his hands three times, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone, it's time to go, go to Jin Tingshan!"
Han Gao wondered: "Didn't you say to wait for work in Dongting and wait for the sects in Jiangdong to come over? Why are you going to fight now?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "Sect Master Qu said that the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai is shameless, and the momentum has been made, but they didn't come over, just shrinking in their Jin Tingshan, like a turtle. Now there is no other way. If they don't come over, we can only go over."
Han Gao was puzzled: "Why must we go over? Didn't the Qingyu Sect say that the ancient cave dwelling is in this area of Dongting? What are we doing going to Jin Tingshan? It's six or seven hundred li away..."
Liu Xiaolou sighed: "Sect Master Qu said that although the cave dwelling is on this side, the key is in the hands of the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai. They can come over in three or five years. We have finally gathered so many people, it is impossible to wait for three or five years on Junshan Island. There are only thieves for a thousand days, and no thieves for a thousand days."
Han Gao said: "Didn't the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai also gather a lot of people?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "If you don't say they are shameless, the Qingyu Sect has figured it out. This time the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai did gather the sects in Jiangnan, but each sect only sent a few people. The momentum was very sufficient, but in fact, there was no real thing, it was all bluffing."
Now everyone understood. The Jin Jin Jin Tingpai was really good at calculating. With this move, the Qingyu Sect fell into a disadvantage.
Therefore, the Qingyu Sect had no better way, so they could only take the initiative to fight over, and this became the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai waiting for work.
"Sect Master Qu said that this fight must be fast, snatching time to catch them off guard. Didn't their Jin Tingshan not gather the sects in Jiangnan? What they bully is that they have few people."
Han Gao shook his head: "That's what is said, how many days can you snatch? With such a big battle, the time for the sects in Jiangdong to support will be very short, maybe it's just three or five days. In such a short time, can we win? Jin Tingshan is a big sect, stronger than the Qingyu Sect."
Liu Xiaolou had witnessed the tip of the iceberg of the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai's strength. Don't look at the Jingxiang sects gathering on Junshan Island today, the momentum is vast, but it is really difficult to win the Jin Jin Jin Tingpai in one battle?
At that time, if the hard bone of Jin Tingshan could not be gnawed down, and the Jiangnan sects outside surrounded them, the situation would not be good. You must know that Lingxu and the East and West Immortal Sects were all big sects in Jiangnan, and each one was extremely difficult to deal with.
Liu Xiaolou said: "This expedition to Jin Tingshan, Sect Master Qu's words were a bit regretful. He said that all sects should have been gathered, even if they were not all brought to Junshan, they should have brought the good hands. Looking at the current situation, our Zhanglong Sect is a bit weak."
The Zhanglong Sect has more than a dozen families and loose cultivator sects attached to it, such as Eyang Mountain, Mingyu Villa, Black Tiger Village, Changshan Sword Sect, Zheng family, Dongxi, etc. After screening, they can definitely gather more than a hundred backbone cultivators above late Qi Refinement. When fighting in the wild, the confidence will be sufficient. Like now, adding up to less than fifty people, the wild battle array like the Purple Gold Dragon Array cannot be set up, and the combat power is greatly reduced.
But it is too late now, because the action will be tonight, setting off under the cover of night.
Lin Shuangyu collected the bottles and jars on the stone table and the blankets on the stone bed; Song Axia finally stopped sewing his red robe and put it on his body, the silk ribbon tied tightly; Wu Changgeng was the simplest, only the sword sharpening stone, which he put into the storage magic tool at will.
Liu Xiaolou asked Su Jing: "Thirteenth, how is it? Elder Bai also asked about your injury during the meeting today. I told him you were fine."
Su Jing was a little excited: "Brother-in-law, I'm fine. Brother-in-law, why haven't we set off yet?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled: "Don't worry, wait for the order."
As soon as the voice fell, the order came. The person sent to contact the Three Mystical Sect was still Zang Qianli, who rushed over: "Fellow Daoist Lin, can we set off? Let's go!"
Lin Shuangyu nodded, waved her hand, and everyone filed out, following Zang Qianli down Langyin Pavilion Mountain.
At this moment, on the small Junshan Plain, there were sects and families coming down from all pavilion mountains, team by team, wave by wave, gathering toward the stone cave where they came.
Under the moonlight, heads were moving, chaotic, and shouts like "Senior Brother," "Junior Sister," "Master," "Mistress," "Deacon," "Elder" rose one after another, mixed with shouts like "Don't cut the line," "You stepped on my foot," "What are you looking at," "Kid, let's talk alone later," and even more private whispers of "Which junior sister is it," "Which sister-in-law is it," "No way, you are seventy? Doesn't look like it," which was so lively!
After coming out of the stone cave and going down the mountain, the forty-odd people of the Zhanglong Sect took four boats and sailed toward the northeast.
For a time, a hundred boats competed, shattering the bright moonlight sprinkled on the lake.
The Three Mystical Sect and the Lingqiu Sect shared a boat, which was truly crossing the river in the same boat. No matter what grievances they had before, they could only hold them in their hearts at this moment.
Zang Qianli was the contact person for the Three Mystical Sect, and the contact person for the Lingqiu Sect was another inner sect disciple of the Zhanglong Sect, named Yun Xingwu. The two pointed to the mountains and rivers at the bow of the boat, looking forward to the upcoming battle, while Liu Xiaolou and Ba Tianyou were at the stern, discussing with their heads down.
"Sect Master Liu, just now when boarding the boat, your Guest Elder almost pushed my disciple into the water. Can you manage it? We are all one family, we should be harmonious..."
"Sect Master Ba, I will try my best to talk to Guest Elder Chang, but the effect may not be good. You know, he is a guest elder, that is..."
"He is a distinguished guest, I know, but please try to talk to him, Sect Master Liu, otherwise if our two families really fight, it will not look good on Sect Master Qu's face..."
"Sorry, two Sect Masters, I am surnamed Wu, not Chang. Also, it wasn't me who pushed your Lingqiu Sect people, it was that guy who bumped into me himself, bumped into my waist, and it still hurts now..."
"Guest Elder Chang, does it hurt a lot? Are you injured? Ah, the injury is a bit heavy... Sect Master Ba, look, both of them are injured, is it even?"
"..."
Two hours later, the fleet entered the big river, went down the river, and after another hour, docked at a stone beach on the north bank of the river. Zang Qianli was the first to jump off the bow and greeted: "Follow, follow!"
Han Gao asked: "Fellow Daoist Zang, are we here?"
Zang Qianli shook his head: "It's still early, let's find a quiet place to settle down first."
The large team ran forward in a mess for more than half an hour, and before the darkest moment of the day, entered a dense forest.
News came from the front, asking all sects to restrain their disciples, not to make noise at will, and not to leave the forest at will, just rest in this forest.
So the Zhanglong Sect found a place, and dozens of people surrounded a circle, each sitting on the ground to adjust their breath.
