Chapter 37: Alliance

The four of them met and bowed to each other.

Wan Chengjiu asked, "I wonder why Brother Yanming said this?"

Mr. Yanming smiled and said, "Brother Tan and I met at the bottom of the mountain. Seeing that the time was approaching, we bet each other to see who would reach the top of the mountain first. It seems that I was the first to climb."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Brother Tan's strength is not the light skills. You can compete with him later."

Mr. Yan Ming waved his hand and said, "I know this myself, but I am better than him. But today I only talk about wine and swords. The main European gang is disappointed."

Tan Yefeng also spoke: "This bet is Brother Yanming who has the upper hand. I will do three big bowls in a while."

Ou Peng and Wan Chengjiu laughed and said, "Brother Tan is so pleased, come, Brother Yanming, please come here."

Everyone came to the tree and saw the stone ox standing there like an iron tower. They asked curiously: "Who is this guy?"

Ou Peng introduced: "This is Shiniu, a disciple of my Piaomiao Sect. Shiniu, who is here to treat Mr. Yanming and the Tan family."

Shiniu came over to greet him.

Everyone praised it and said that the Piaomiao School is really hidden and hiding, and Ou Peng also denied it humbly.

Then, Ou Peng asked Shiniu to guard the intersection of the mountain to prevent idle people from waiting to reach the top of the mountain.

Everyone sat down, Tan Yefeng first picked up a jar of wine from the ground, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and said to Mr. Yanming: "You're ready, I'll drink it first."

Then, he put the bowl to his mouth, drank it all in one go, and then drank another bowl. When he was drinking the third bowl, Ou Peng said, "Brother Tan, let's accompany you too." After that, he poured one bowl. Mr. Yanming and Wan Chengjiu also said in unison, pouring one bowl each. Everyone touched the bowl and drank it all in one go, and then put the porcelain bowl on the ground.

Tan Yefeng spoke first: "Brother Ou thought carefully. I came in a hurry. Seeing that it was not too early, I had already left the matter of drinking and food behind. I guess Brother Yan Ming followed me with his usual thoughts?"

Mr. Yan Ming said embarrassedly: "Yes, I didn't expect that there were so many people in Longshen Temple. It was a waste of time to arrange family members. In the end, I delayed my own affairs."

Wan Jiucheng laughed and said, "I didn't waste time, but I also forgot these details. However, the leader of the Ou Gang thought to us that it would be better to drink some wine, so why bother to say so much?"

Ou Peng also said: "Brother Wan is saying very much. Just someone is ready. Why bother to care about who it is? Let's make a comeback."

Everyone laughed and made another bowl of it.

Tan Yefeng spoke first: "Everyone, although there are few tourists in Wutong Mountain at this time, there are not a shortage of them. Letting Shiniu guard this intersection is a temporary solution. I think we should get back to the point and discuss things earlier. If the matter is done, how can we drink and have fun?"

Mr. Yanming also said, "I have this intention."

Ou Peng said: "Then let's determine the next time we enter the Secret Land?"

Wan Chengjiu also nodded and said yes.

Tan Yefeng said: "But according to the booklet, you can only enter the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year."

Mr. Yanming said, "Brother Tan, please rest assured. According to my speculation, the booklet says that only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can enter only two reasons. One is the formation composed of the sour jujube trees outside this secret land. Only one channel can appear on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, allowing people to enter each year. Second, only the sunlight on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can correctly indicate the entry position. Before the last entry, I have marked the two sour jujube trees in the population, so the entrance position should not be difficult to find. The formation in this world has not been heard of as changing with time. Besides, there are so many days a year, only a specific day can pass through. This is not unbelievable. Brother Wan, Brother Ou, your gang has been passed down for a long time and has encountered many things in the world. Have you ever encountered such a thing?"

Wan Chengjiu and Ou Peng looked at each other and shook their heads, but Ou Peng said: "Although we have never encountered it and have not recorded the classics in the sect, the formation is indeed lost in the world, and we cannot be sure that this formation has no time limit for this function."

All four of them said nothing. After all, no one has any attainment in formation, there is no such talent in the gang, and there may not even be such people in the entire world. How can they make a decision?

Tan Yefeng said: "There are only two ways to solve the problem now. One is that we will wait patiently until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year before organizing people to enter. The other is to find time recently and send a few people to explore the way to see if we can enter. What do you think?"

Wan Chengjiu said: "The secret treasure is of great importance, and there is no mistake. Last time we secretly sent a second-generation disciple to go there. Although we kept it confidential in advance, we cannot guarantee that other gangs have not received any news. In order to keep it confidential, I suggest that we should not try it easily without any accidents. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, this secret place will not be a secret place of our four sects, but a secret place of the entire river and lake."

Ou Peng also agreed: "There is no secret in the world. Maybe our meeting in Wutong Mountain has fallen into the eyes of those who are interested. I believe that someone on this mountain has been staring at us secretly."

But Mr. Yanming said, "Can we just wait for a year in vain?"

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Brother Yanming, you don't know that salt and rice are expensive. Our gang acts in the world, and it is not as good as your family's forces. Our gang members are complicated and it is inevitable that they are mixed together. It is difficult to keep anything truly confidential. We have to be careful."

Wan Chengjiu also nodded and said yes.

Mr. Yanming still did not give up and said, "Since you all think so, I'm going to find some time to explore the secret place. What do you think?"

Wan Chengjiu and Ou Peng frowned at the same time. Only Tan Yefeng had no expression on his face, and seemed to have known that Mr. Yan Ming would have such an idea.

When Ou Peng saw Tan Yefeng's expression, he asked, "What does Brother Tan mean?"

Tan Yefeng coughed and said, "Actually, I have this idea for a long time. I want to go to the Secret Land before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. Brother Yanming will not mention it, I will also suggest it to you."

Wan Chengjiu lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking.

Ou Peng said, "Before deciding whether to go to the jungle, I have a suggestion to discuss with you to see if it is feasible?"

Everyone looked at Ou Peng with strange eyes and waited for him to speak.

Ou Peng said: "I suggest that we form an alliance and advance and retreat together in the search for treasures in secret."

Mr. Yanming shook his head and said, "Our villa cannot form an alliance with your Piaomiao Sect and Wanjian Peak. The affairs you are involved in are too complicated. There are often bloody gang battles. After the alliance, it will be unfavorable to the development of our villa."

Tan Yefeng also repeatedly said yes.

Ou Peng said confidently: "The two have some misunderstandings. The alliance I mentioned is somewhat different from the alliance I usually say. One is not an alliance of gangs, and there is no need to participate in the affairs of each other in the world. Second, this alliance is simply an alliance between the four of us. Although the four of us cannot be brothers and share hardships, we can form alliances in the secret place to advance and retreat, and share happiness; third, this alliance is limited to the secret place and does not involve other aspects. What do you think?"

Wan Chengjiu said with a happy look on his face: "The leader of the Ou Gang is indeed beautiful. This idea is good, so just do it."

Mr. Yanming and Tan Yefeng were also known for their smiles.

So Ou Peng poured a porcelain bowl of wine, cut his fingers with his sword, and dripped blood into the wine. The other three people did the same. Ou Peng took the porcelain bowl, shook it a little, took a few sips, and then handed it to Wan Chengjiu. Wan Chengjiu still drank it, and then Tan Yefeng and Yan Ming Jushi both drank blood wine.

Mr. Yanming smashed the porcelain bowl, and everyone laughed and said, "Entertainment is Chengyi!"

Everyone drank a bowl of wine together, and Ou Peng then said: "Since Brother Yanming and Brother Tan insist on going, Brother Wan and I will naturally advance and retreat with you. Let's do this. At the end of this month, we will send our disciples to the last place separately, or will we lead the way with Brother Yanming?"

Mr. Yanming said: "No problem, this is unshirkable. However, should we send our families to each other this time?"

Ou Peng, Wan Chengjiu and Tan Yefeng looked at each other. Ou Peng said: "Last time was our first time to cooperate. We were not very relieved. Now we have formed an alliance, so we naturally feel at ease. I don't think there is any need."

Wan Chengjiu and Tan Yefeng also agreed.

At this time, Shiniu walked over quickly and said, "Gangmaster, there are a few tourists at the foot of the mountain coming along the mountain road. Do you want to stop them?"

Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "This Wutong Mountain is not our own. Of course, we must not let others come. You don't have to go over and guard it, just wait here."

After saying that, the four of them poured their wine and drank the wine and food, talking about strange stories in the world, which was a sign of leisure and leisure.

After a while, a few people came to the top of the mountain. It seemed like tourists were wandering around. After a while, I saw someone drinking and chatting in this picturesque place. I felt very disdainful and went down the mountain without staying for too long.

Wan Chengjiu asked Ou Peng: "Is it because we are suspicious?"

Ou Peng smiled and said, "These are not, but they can't be said to be in the foot of the mountain. These people know that we are all trolls in the world and have a sharp vision. How can we just come up so easily?"

Ou Peng suddenly remembered something and asked Wan Chengjiu: "The news from the secret place must be kept confidential, and there must be no slackness. Where is Situ Ping of the Evil Tiger Gang now?"

Wan Chengjiu smiled and took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Ou, don't worry, although you are not as meticulous as you, you still know this. The Situ Gang Master has never left since he returned to Wanjian Peak with his little disciple. I have ordered me to send an elder to accept her as his disciple, and also sent a few capable men to Lu Town. The Situ Gang Master is not the Situ Gang Master, but the Situ Ping of my Wanjian Peak."
