To be honest, judging from Huang Xiaoshi's life experience, anything with the word "alliance" in the world is a place where people are bragging instead of doing serious business.
It just so happens that the Wulin Alliance is like this too.
First of all, the Wulin Alliance is not an entity, it is actually a virtual concept. It is impossible to test how early this concept first appeared, but the first person to make it happen was Xiao Xiami.
Xiao Xiami was able to integrate the martial arts and establish a martial arts alliance. In addition to being super good at fighting, popular, good at getting along, and taking over both sides, another extremely important reason is that after more than ten years of fighting in the martial arts world, everyone has
Can't stand it anymore.
No one wants to have their neck wiped by the person next to them while they are still sleeping; they don’t want to go to have breakfast or buy a bun and end up eating a big centipede; and they don’t want to suddenly fall out of the feces while clearing out the inventory in the place of reincarnation of grains.
A dagger was thrust out of the pool and hit the bullseye.
In this chaotic world, no one is the beneficiary.
Even if you use conspiracy to kill an enemy in your eyes, you may be killed by another person using more despicable means in the blink of an eye.
The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide.
When everyone was thinking about stability, Xiao Xiami joined forces to convince various martial arts sects, big and small, and then personally defeated some troublemakers who liked to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters, and then the first martial arts alliance was held.
meeting.
At the martial arts alliance meeting, Xiao Xiami, as the host, proposed to select the leader of the martial arts alliance based on the requirement of "two chimes of virtue and art".
Virtue, simply put, means that after someone stands up, no one else scolds his mother, or there are not many people scolding him, or he can quickly deal with the scolding people, even if he is.
The requirements cannot be higher. No matter how high you are, you won't be able to select someone. After all, no one who is a gangster has a clean background.
Even Xiao Xiami, a great hero of the generation, once spent a long time with the flower-picking thief Tian Boguang, not to mention that he did all kinds of immoral things when he and Lord Wei drank and drank together.
Once "virtue" is determined, "art" becomes simple.
No. 1 in Wen Wu is because scholars are very good at talking. If it comes down to martial arts, it is very rare for them to be evenly matched.
If you can do it, you won't be blind, so as soon as the stage was set up, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
The rules are very simple and are divided into preliminary rounds and finals.
In the preliminary round, anyone can go on stage to defend the ring, and others can go on stage to attack in turn, but each person only has one chance to go on stage.
If the challenge is successful, you will become the challenger.
As long as anyone wins three games in a row or no one dares to challenge, he or she will be considered a finalist and can step down to rest.
Don't think it's easy to win three games in a row, it's actually very difficult.
Because after two rounds of fighting on the stage, the people in the audience have already seen through the martial arts skills. The third round usually involves opponents who can restrain the ring master.
Therefore, those who can win three games in a row are basically recognized as strong or have no shortcomings.
In this way, after fighting for a whole day, ten people competed, these are the top ten upright masters.
Just when everyone was preparing to light up the torches for the night battle, the host Xiao Xiami jumped out.
"Come on, come on, come on, save time, everyone, come on together."
As the initiator, organizer and host of the martial arts league, Xiao Xiami is both a referee and an athlete. He wants to fight ten directly.
On the ring, in full view of everyone, a ground-breaking wild punch came out of the air.
Xiao Xiami defeated the top ten masters with just one move and became the first martial arts leader. This punch also made [Wild Ball Fist] recorded in [Martial Arts History].
Although it was a bit strange for everyone to suddenly become the leader of the alliance as the host, no one dared to say anything dissatisfied at the moment.
This is the true way of persuading people with virtue.
In the end, Xiao Xiami, the leader of the martial arts alliance, made a three-part agreement with the heroes of the world, and single-handedly ended the chaos in the world.
After Xiao Xiami disappeared, several martial arts leagues could not elect a king as dominant as him. No matter how the finals were played, there were always people who were unconvinced.
After all, there is no second person who can beat ten to one.
Because the Wulin leader could never be elected, it gradually evolved into a joint resolution by several major factions. After stabilization, a mechanism for joint deliberation by the six major factions was formed.
The looseness and tightness of a loose group like the Wulin Alliance are entirely determined by the balance of external forces and internal struggles.
Someone used a very vivid metaphor to describe the martial arts sect as being like a group of hedgehogs hugging each other to keep warm.
If they are too close together, they will hurt each other; if they are too far apart, they will be freezing to death.
When the weather gets warmer, everyone consciously spreads out. When the weather gets colder, the only thing we can do is to get closer to each other without worrying about the pain.
This time the Central Plains Wulin is eager to hold a Wulin Alliance meeting, which actually has a close relationship with the Tianshan Sect.
Some people are saying that the Tianshan Sect is gone.
Yes, it’s because the Tianshan sect is gone.
Whether it is the Tianshan Sect or the Kunlun Sect, they are actually a bridgehead placed by the Central Plains Martial Arts in the Western Regions. Once he controls any sect, anyway, when the things collectively known as the Demonic Sect try to invade the Central Plains from the Western Regions, they will inevitably run into them first.
Tianshan Sect.
Now, the Tianshan Sect has been directly wiped out by the Demon Cult. How serious is the problem?
Therefore, the reason why the Dragon King left the Tianshan Sect alone was not because he felt that he could not defeat the Tianshan Sect, but that once he attacked the Tianshan Sect, it would cause a collective backlash from the six major sects in the Central Plains.
In other words, only Xuan Mingzi, a fool who did things regardless of the consequences, would wipe out the Tianshan sect in a flash of his mind.
Sure enough, after the news of the Tianshan Sect's annihilation reached the Central Plains, the other five major sects quickly took action. To fight against such a behemoth as the Tianlong Sect, they had no choice but to reorganize the Martial Arts Alliance.
But this time, several sects themselves started to quarrel over whether the newly compiled regulations of the Wulin Alliance should include the leader of the Wulin Alliance.
…
To be an alliance leader or not to be an alliance leader is a matter of positional choice, but when it comes down to it, the implications are very complicated.
How to centralize power is a problem that mankind will not be able to solve for thousands of years.
Simply put, the more concentrated the power, the higher the efficiency, but once a mistake is made, there is less room for recovery; the more decentralized the power, the lower the efficiency, but the less likely it is to make a big mistake.
If it involves the vassalage and reflection of power, it will take more than one day to finish.
Currently, excluding the Tianshan sect which has been removed from the list, among the five major sects, Huashan and Wudang sects support the martial arts leader model, while Shaolin and Beggar Clan support the joint resolution model.
After eliminating other miscellaneous reasons, in the final analysis everyone's thoughts are related to their own fundamental interests.
Fang Yunhua of the Wudang Clan, he supports the alliance leader model because Huang Xiaoshi told him that to seize the opportunity of this martial arts alliance, he must strive to become the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Yes, Huang Xiaoshi himself has no chance, but he supports Fang Yunhua.
From the current point of view, Fang Yunhua is still very good at the requirement of "double virtue and art".
As long as your "art" is high enough, no one will find fault with your "morality".
As the saying goes, it is easy for a gentleman to get through, but it is difficult for a villain to deal with him.
If you insist on pointing at my nose and calling me a villain, then I will treat you like a villain.
Who dares to come?
The Huashan faction supports the alliance leader model because Cao Dai wants to support Xiaoyao Valley in winning the alliance leader position.
His son-in-law is the head of Xiaoyao Valley, Xiaoyao Valley is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is equivalent to the deputy sect leader.
Similarly, Shaolin and the Beggar Clan opposed the alliance leader because they could not find qualified people to participate in the fight for the alliance leader.
The three Shaolin monks are already old, and the most capable one is recovering from his serious injury.
Shaolin Temple has a deep bench, but lacks an outstanding offensive player.
The current top master of the Beggar Clan is still Ke Jianglong, but Ke Jianglong still has not broken through level 5.
The Beggar Clan is even more miserable than the Shaolin Temple. It relies entirely on its huge base of gang members.
The reason why Xiaoyao Valley remains neutral is because Xiaoyao Valley is currently in a very embarrassing situation.
Currently, the top master of Xiaoyao Valley is not the leader Gu Yuexuan, but the third disciple Dongfang Weiming.
If Xiaoyao Valley wants to participate in the League Leader Competition, the best solution is to send Dongfang Weiming.
However, if Dongfang Weiming really defeated Fang Yunhua and became the leader of the martial arts alliance, where would Gu Yuexuan be placed?
From the perspective of the Wulin Alliance, the leader of Xiaoyao Valley should obey the leader of the Wulin Alliance.
But from within the sect, the disciples of Xiaoyao Valley should obey the leader.
Isn't this the left foot stepping on the right foot, spiraling up to the sky?
In fact, Huang Xiaoshi thinks that the model of the Tianlong Sect is pretty good, with eight groups of Tianlongs co-governing and at the same time electing a boss who can convince everyone.
Everyone does their own thing when it comes to small things. When it comes to big things, they listen to the boss's command. If they feel that the boss is no longer good, they will replace him and choose a new one.
Of course, the model of Tianlong Sect is also very problematic. Otherwise, it would not be divided into two factions, and the fight has not been completed until now.
In the final analysis, this is still a matter of people being in unison.
If everyone is united, you can do whatever you want;
If you are alienated from your heart and morality, no matter what you do, it will not work.
If there is no ability to complete integration from within, the only way is to strengthen external threats and use external pressure to achieve internal unity.
From this point of view, both Tianlong Sect and Zhongyuan Wulin have grasped the secret and began to use each other to complete their own internal integration.
But the biggest disadvantage of doing this is that integration is aimed at confrontation. The higher the degree of integration, the greater the probability of conflict eventually breaking out.
This is what is called fate.
…
Huang Xiaoshi doesn't care about these two big things.
Huang Xiaoshi and Jiang Tianxiong divided their work. Jiang Tianxiong was responsible for handling the court affairs, and Huang Xiaoshi was responsible for organizing meetings.
Shennong Baicaomen has rich experience in organizing caravans. To organize a caravan to travel to a distant place, whether it is gathering supplies or recruiting people, is much more complicated than opening a grass team meeting.
What Huang Xiaoshi needs is to first determine the time and location of the martial arts competition, so that he can arrange the next step.
As a result, a simple thing almost caused Huang Xiaoshi to vomit blood.
Not to mention the location, there are so many places outside Luoyang City, just choose a flatter place.
However, Huang Xiaoshi had to go back and forth several times when choosing the time for the martial arts competition.
Some people suggested that the martial arts conference should be held at the end of the year, that is, immediately after the coming of the Book of Heaven.
In this case, everyone will be united and their hearts will be united, and the conference will be easily run.
Next, someone vetoed the proposal, saying that an important issue at the Wulin Conference was to replace the six major sects. Whether to choose Tiangang Sect or Shennong Baicao Sect was a very important decision.
Before Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng's sect rankings are released, if everyone chooses one of them, and happens to choose the one with lower strength, wouldn't it be a big joke on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will not convince the public, and it will lead to the authority of the Wulin Alliance
will be severely affected.
Therefore, the martial arts alliance should be held at the beginning of the year.
When it comes to choosing until the beginning of the year, it’s even more endless.
The first month is the New Year, February is spring plowing, and March is busy farming, but if it is postponed to April, it feels too late.
After this, Huang Xiaoshi admired them so much that he simply gave up the task. He left the preparation of the conference to his subordinates and asked him to report from time to time.
Really, from this point of view, Huang Xiaoshi supports having an alliance leader. At least I want to do something without having to run around in circles.
In the final analysis, the fact that this martial arts league could not be held was not Huang Xiaoshi's loss.
…
When Huang Xiaoshi returned to Shennong Baicaomen, it was already November. After a day's rest, he called Shang Jingzhong out.
Outside Luoyang City, by the lake.
This land was the location chosen by Huang Xiaoshi for the martial arts alliance. There were trees and water, and it was not far from Luoyang. The terrain was open, but it was separated from Luoyang by woods, so all the conditions were just right.
"I am a straightforward person, so just listen and remember it." Huang Xiaoshi looked at the lake and said to Shang Jingzhong: "I asked you to do something for me. It must not only be a good thing, but you also have this in mind.
It should be clear.
To put it simply, the money I give you is money to buy your life. I don’t need you to do other chores, but when I call you, you have to follow me immediately.
As for doing things specifically, it's very simple.
You have to hit anyone I tell you to hit; you can't hit anyone I tell you not to hit.
Do you understand?"
Shang Jingzhong nodded.
"Speaking of which, I bought your life, but I generally don't use the lives of my men to fill a hole, and since your martial arts are so high, you probably won't die."
At this point, Huang Xiaoshi changed his tone and said: "Of course, if you accidentally miss and get beaten to death, it doesn't matter.
I will take care of your wife and daughter until they are old and ensure that they have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
Shang Jingzhong nodded silently again, and Huang Xiaoshi checked Axia's pulse and said it was a daughter.
"Finally, in order to prevent you from accidentally being beaten to death, I have to give your martial arts a try."
Huang Xiaoshi turned around and looked at Shang Jingzhong and said, "Actually, I'm also curious about how strong you can be as the strongest man in the world."
Shang Jingzhong understood that this was the purpose of Huang Xiaoshi bringing him here.
Huang Xiaoshi spent a lot of money to invite himself here, and he wanted to inspect the goods.
The results of this test will directly determine how Huang Xiaoshi treats himself and his family in the future.
Shang Jingzhong didn't know the level of Huang Xiaoshi's martial arts, but since he had already learned the [Nine Yang Divine Art], it couldn't be done by two people.
At least 30%.
…
The two of them first took off their extra clothes and belongings, then wrapped them together and placed them by the lake, weighing them down with stones.
Then, after the two of them stood still, they began to fight.
Splitting moves can be used as a warm-up, or as a process for two people to get familiar with each other. After all, this is just a test, not a life-or-death contest. Everyone is familiar with each other, which can avoid accidental injuries.
As the internal energy circulated, the two moved faster and faster, and their hands began to add internal energy. Every subsequent move collided with each other, causing a wave of internal energy shock.
The internal force wave that was shaken out during the collision squeezed away the air, so that only shadows could be seen on the hands of the two people in front of them, and there was a shadow movement that could only be seen in the hot summer.
"Bang."
Shang Jingzhong blocked Huang Xiaoshi's left elbow with his left hand, and his right palm collided with Huang Xiaoshi's left fist, and the screen suddenly stopped.
This move is called pushing the cow. It doesn't look fancy, and it's simple and clear to do. Whoever can't bear the strength or is pushed will lose.
This is not only a comparison of strength, but more importantly, a comparison of "jin".
The competition between Jiuyang Divine Art and Jiuyang Divine Art has officially begun.
Last night I almost had a new life. I went to the hospital early in the morning, went to the emergency room, and was waiting for an electrocardiogram.
My heartbeat is always over 140 and I can’t control it even with medication. I can’t get rid of COVID-19.
