The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Zuo Lengchan had a stern look on his face, and his eyes were scanning the crowd like lightning. Beside him stood a group of masters from the Songshan School, all of whom had solemn expressions and exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

He Sanqi's face was full of anger at this moment. He pointed at "The Owl of Qinghai" and confronted Zuo Lengchan.

His eyes fixed, Zuo Lengchan said coldly: "This is a joke. This brother Ji and I just met for the first time today. How can you say that I sent him?"

He Sanqi was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and said loudly, "The Zuo Sect Leader and 'Qinghai Yixiao' may have known each other for a short time, but he must have a very special relationship with this man's master 'Blank Evil Star'."

As soon as the words "blank slate evil star" came out, the already restless crowd suddenly roared, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Everyone whispered to each other, with expressions of fear and curiosity mixed on their faces. The name "blank slate evil star" has been famous in the martial arts world for 20 to 30 years. Although only a few people have actually seen him or suffered from him, his notoriety still hangs over the martial arts world like a dark cloud.

Linghu Chong was standing aside. When he heard the name, his heart was moved. Memories from many years ago came flooding back to him. At that time, he was still young, and he followed his master and mistress in the Huashan Sect to learn martial arts. One day, Yue Lingshan cried for no reason. In order to comfort her, Mrs. Yue scared her and said, "If you cry again, the 'White Board Evil Star' will come to catch you." He was curious at the time, so he asked, "What is the 'White Board Evil Star'?" Mrs. Yue said, "The 'White Board Evil Star' is a big evil man who specializes in catching crying children and biting them to eat. This man has no nose and his face is flat, like a piece of white board." Yue Lingshan was scared at the time and stopped crying.

Thinking of the past, Linghu Chong could not help but turn his head and look at Yue Lingshan. She was looking at the green hills in the distance, as if thinking about something, with a slightly sad look between her eyebrows. It was obvious that she did not notice He Sanqi mentioned the name "White Board Evil Star". Linghu Chong felt a sense of emotion, thinking that she might have forgotten what Mrs. Yue said when she was young. Time flies, the little girl has grown into a beautiful lady, and those childhood memories have gradually been buried by the years.

At this time, Zuo Lengchan ignored everyone's reactions, but turned to look at Yu Jizi, with a faint smile on his face, and said:
"Brother Yuji, congratulations on taking over as the head of the Taishan Sect. What do you think about the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects?"

Everyone heard Zuo Lengchan not answering He Sanqi's question and talking about something else. They all understood that he had tacitly agreed to make friends with the "blank slate evil star". Judging from the behavior of "Qinghai Xiao", the master and the apprentice were naturally not decent people. And Zuo Lengchan's behavior undoubtedly cast a shadow on his reputation.

Yu Jizi took two steps forward with an iron sword in hand, proudly showing a hint of arrogance on his face. Hearing Zuo Lengchan's question, he immediately straightened his back and said loudly: "The merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects will only benefit the people of the five sects, without any harm. Only people like Tianmen Taoist who are too selfish, greedy for fame and care about the public interest, will propose to oppose it. Leader Zuo, I am the head of the Taishan Sect, and I wholeheartedly agree with the merger of the five sects. The entire Taishan Sect will serve under you, follow you, and carry forward the Five Mountains Sect. If anyone maliciously obstructs, our Taishan Sect will be the first to not tolerate them."

More than a hundred people in the Taishan Sect responded loudly: "The entire Taishan Sect agrees with the merger. If anyone raises objections, the entire Taishan Sect will not give up."

These people shouted in unison, their voices were so uniform that the mountains echoed.

Linghu Chong watched this scene and thought to himself, "They obviously practiced it well beforehand. Otherwise, even if everyone agreed to join forces, they would not say every word exactly the same."

Listening to Yu Jizi's tone, he was extremely respectful to old man Zuo Lengchan. He thought that either Zuo Lengchan had given him great benefits in secret, or he had used some cruel means to make him obedient.

The disciples under the Tianmen Taoist priest had no choice but to remain silent after seeing their master's tragic death. They were filled with grief and indignation. Some cursed in a low voice while others clenched their fists, their faces filled with grief and indignation, their eyes revealing reluctance and helplessness. The Taishan Sect was once so powerful under the leadership of the Tianmen Taoist priest, but now it was declining in this fight.

Zuo Lengchan was secretly pleased when he saw this. He said in a loud voice: "Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan and Taishan Sects have already agreed to merge. It seems that this is the general trend. Since merging the sects will bring a hundred benefits and no harm, the Songshan Sect will follow your lead and join us in this great undertaking."

After a pause, Zuo Lengchan continued, "Among the five sects, three have agreed to merge. I wonder what the Hengshan Sect thinks? The former head of the Hengshan Sect, Master Dingxian, has talked to me about the merger several times. She is very much in favor of it. Masters Dingjing and Dingyi also hold this view."

A clear voice from among the Hengshan Sect's black-clad female disciples said, "Left Sect Leader, this is wrong. Our Sect Leader and our two uncles and senior brothers are deeply saddened by the proposal to merge the sects and strongly oppose it."

Everyone looked at the person who was talking and saw a round-faced girl. This girl was the eloquent Zheng E. She was still young and most people from other sects didn't know her. But she was fearless at this moment. She stood in front of everyone and looked directly into Zuo Lengchan's eyes.

Zuo Lengchan's face changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He said, "Your master, Master Ding Xian, is a highly skilled martial artist with extraordinary knowledge. She is truly the most remarkable person in our Five Mountains Sword Sect. I have always admired her. If she were still alive today, she would be the leader of the Five Mountains Sect."

He paused, and continued, "When I discussed the matter of merging the sects with Masters Dingxian, Dingjing, and Dingyi, I strongly advocated that if the matter of merging the sects could not be resolved, then forget it. If it was agreed upon, then Master Dingxian must be appointed as the head of the Five Mountains Sect. Although Master Dingxian humbly declined at that time, I fully supported her, and later on, Master Dingxian did not refuse so strongly."

Zheng E said sternly, "Master Zuo, you said that my master supports the merger of the five sects. Who heard those words? Sisters and fellow disciples of the Hengshan Sect, has anyone heard what Master Zuo said?"

More than a hundred female disciples answered in unison: "Never heard of it." Someone said loudly: "Most likely it was made up by Sect Leader Zuo himself."

Zuo Lengchan snorted and said, "The Five Mountains Sword Sects are merging today. I guess your sect will express its dissent?"

He glanced at the people from Hengshan Sect, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

Zheng E shook his head and said, "Hengshan Sect is not the only one who holds dissenting opinions. Let's hear what Huashan Sect's head, Mr. Yue, thinks."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Yue Buqun, hoping to get support from the Huashan Sect.

Zuo Lengchan turned to look at Yue Buqun and said, "Mr. Yue, what do you think of the merger of the five sects?"

Yue Buqun looked calm, took two steps forward, and said with a slight bow: "Thank you for asking, Chief Zuo. Although I have considered this matter carefully, it is not easy to make a very appropriate and thorough decision."

Thousands of eyes on the peaks were looking at him, and many people thought: "The Hengshan Sect is weak and isolated, and the Taishan Sect is divided and incompetent, neither of them can resist the Songshan Sect. Now that the Huashan and Hengshan Sects have joined forces, and with the Hengshan Sect, they can compete with the Songshan Sect."

Yue Buqun was heard saying, "Our Huashan sect was founded over 200 years ago, during which there was a dispute between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect. All the martial arts elders know about it. When I think of the tragic scene of the two sects killing each other back then, I still shudder..." Linghu Chong stood aside, thinking to himself, "Master once said that the dispute between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect of Huashan was a shame for our sect and it was not worth telling to outsiders. Why is he talking about it openly in front of all the heroes of the world?" He also heard Yue Buqun's voice spread over miles, and every word he said was echoed in the distance. He thought, "Master has reached a higher level in practicing the 'Purple Cloud Divine Art'.

Yue Buqun continued, "Therefore, I deeply feel that the sects and schools in the martial arts world are better off united than divided. For thousands of years, countless martial artists have died in fights and vendettas in the martial arts world. Most of them are caused by sectarianism. I often think that if there were no sects and schools in the martial arts world, and everyone was one family, then at least 90% of the bloodshed could be reduced. Heroes would not die in their prime, and there would be fewer orphans and widows without support."

His words were full of compassion, and most people could not help but nod their heads. Someone whispered, "Huashan Yue Buqun is known as the 'Gentleman Sword', and he is indeed worthy of his reputation, and has a heart of benevolence."

Master Fang Zheng put his palms together and said, "Well done, well done! Master Yue's words are full of kindness. If everyone in the martial arts world thinks like Master Yue, the bloody storms, wars and disputes in the world will all disappear without a trace."

"Master, thank you for your praise. Some of my humble opinions have certainly been thought of by the great monks of Shaolin Temple for generations."

Yue Buqun bowed slightly to Master Fangzheng, his demeanor humble and his voice clear, carried steadily in the breeze, "With the reputation of Shaolin Temple in the martial arts world, if we call out from a high place, the wise and insightful people in various schools will respond to the call, and we will surely achieve something in the next thousand years. Although the martial arts of various schools have different origins and the methods of practice are very different, it is not easy for martial artists to be united in school and faction. However, 'gentlemen are harmonious but different', and although their martial arts skills may be different, they can still be harmonious. However, to this day, there are still many factions in the martial arts world, fighting openly or secretly, and countless lives and efforts have been wasted on meaningless disputes.

Since wise men throughout history have known that the dissension between factions is harmful, why can't they make up their minds to eliminate it? I am very puzzled and have pondered this matter for many years. It was not until a few days ago that I suddenly realized the key to it. This matter concerns the life and death of all fellow martial artists. I dare not keep it secret and I would like to ask for your advice. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the heroes began to whisper to each other and discussions arose one after another.

"Please say, please say."

"Mr. Yue's insights must be very brilliant."

"I wonder what the reason is?"

"It is extremely difficult to eliminate the sectarianism!"

Everyone was talking at once, and all looked at Yue Buqun, wanting to hear what Yue Buqun had to say.

Yue Buqun slowly swept his eyes over the crowd, and only spoke again after the noisy discussions died down, "I pondered carefully and found that the reason lies in the difference between 'urgent' and 'gradually'. People in the martial arts world who have always hoped to eliminate sects and factions often act too hastily, wanting to eliminate all the boundaries between sects and factions in one fell swoop. Little do they know that it is difficult to reverse the situation. There are dozens of sects in the martial arts world, and more than a thousand of them. Each sect has a history of decades or even thousands of years. It is indeed difficult to eliminate them all in one fell swoop."

Yue Buqun spoke at a moderate speed and clearly, and every word seemed to be well thought out.

Zuo Lengchan frowned slightly when he heard Yue Buqun's words, and said, "According to Mr. Yue's opinion, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate the differences between sects. Isn't it disappointing to say so?"

Yue Buqun shook his head gently: "Although it is extremely difficult, it is not impossible. As I said just now, the difference lies in the difference in urgency. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. As long as the policy changes and the people of the world work together, it will be accomplished in fifty or a hundred years."

Zuo Lengchan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Fifty years, a hundred years, most of the heroes here will have their bodies cold."

Yue Buqun looked calm, and was not affected by Zuo Lengchan's attitude. "We just need to do our best. We don't need to worry about whether the achievement is achieved by our own hands. As the saying goes, the previous generation plants trees for the next generation to enjoy the shade. We are just planting trees so that the next generation can enjoy the blessing of coolness. Isn't that a good thing? Besides, fifty or a hundred years is the time to achieve great success. If we are talking about small achievements, then ten or eight years is already quite impressive."

Zuo Lengchan's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself that what Yue Buqun said made some sense, but he remained calm and continued to ask, "It would be great if we can achieve some success in eight to ten years, but I don't know how we can work together to carry it forward?"

Yue Buqun smiled slightly, "What Alliance Leader Zuo is doing now is a great thing that will benefit fellow martial artists. We cannot eliminate the sectarianism in one fell swoop. But if the various sects choose to merge with those that are close to each other, have similar martial arts, or are on good terms with each other, then within ten to eight years, the number of sects can be reduced by more than half. If our Five Mountains Sword Sect merges into the Five Mountains Sect, it will set an example for all the other sects and become a grand event that will be praised for thousands of years in the martial arts world."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and then an uproar broke out.

"It turns out that Huashan Sect supports the merger of the five sects."

"I didn't expect Mr. Yue to have such an idea."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Buqun, some looked surprised, while others seemed to be thinking about something.

Zuo Lengchan had always been worried that Yue Buqun would strongly object. He was a man of great eloquence and had a good reputation in the martial arts world, so he could not force his way into it. At this moment, he had never expected that Yue Buqun would actually support the merger, and he was really overjoyed. He took a few quick steps forward, a rare smile on his face, and said:

"Songshan Sect supports the merger of the five sects. To be honest, I originally just thought of the principle of unity and strength, and felt that unity makes strength, while division makes weakness. But today, after listening to Mr. Yue's great talk, I suddenly realized that the merger of the five sects has such a significant impact on the future of the martial arts world, and it is not just a matter of benefit to our five sects."

He spoke very sincerely, his face full of gratitude, and he seemed to be really convinced by Yue Buqun.
