Chapter 1760: Gathering of Heroes

"She really knows me!"

I was shocked when I heard her words, and then I turned around and stared at her back.

I saw her slowly walk to the gate of Haoran Hall, paused for a while, and then stepped in.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?" The voice of the old Taoist priest came out. The woman smiled and said, "Yes, it has been nineteen years!"

"Time flies so fast!" The old Taoist priest sighed.

"Yes!" Master Jiemie responded, but she didn't seem to want to say anything more. She just picked up the candle, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner. Then, she bowed deeply to the Three Pure Ones and the ancestors of Longhu Mountain.

"Take a seat!" The old Taoist priest nodded to her.

The woman did not say anything else. She turned around and walked out of the Haoran Hall. Then, under the guidance of an elder from Longhu Mountain, she sat on a few chairs beside the gate of the Haoran Hall.

There were a total of ten chairs there, which were obviously prepared for the top ten masters in the world. Taoist Qinglian did not sit down because he was attending the ceremony, so at this moment, there was only the woman alone there.

The women who came with her were also assigned seats. Only a woman holding a vertical flute walked behind Master Jiemie and stood still.

"Brother Xuandu, since you are here, why don't you show up!"

Master Jiemie suddenly spoke, and her pleasant voice echoed throughout the entire Longhu Mountain.

"The monk Xuandu is here too?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

At this time, a low chanting sounded.

"Amitābha!"

As the Buddha's name fell, a golden light flashed in the sky, and then a monk wearing a cassock and nearly two meters tall appeared in front of everyone.

"What's going on? Longhu Mountain has always banned magic, how can he fly over?" Someone looked suspicious.

"Didn't you sense it? Longhu Mountain's formation has been removed. Today is a martial arts conference. If Longhu Mountain still bans magic, how can we compete?" Someone said.

"So that's it!" Someone showed a look of sudden enlightenment, but then said: "But, if the mountain protection formation is removed, what should we do if we encounter danger?"

"Hehe, the strong men of our human race gather here, who would want to make trouble?" Someone sneered.

"Brother Xuandu, long time no see, how are you?" Taoist Qinglian bowed slightly to the monk, and the monk Xuandu clasped his hands in return, saying, "Hello, Taoist Qinglian!"

"Is this the abbot of Putuo Temple, the monk Xuandu?"

At that time, there was a disturbance in the ancient tomb on the back mountain of our village. In order to suppress the more than 10,000 terracotta warriors and flying zombies in the ancient tomb, my master went to Putuo Temple to borrow a magic weapon. From this incident, it is not difficult to guess that my master and the monk Xuandu have a deep friendship.

However, I have never heard of this person from my master, and this is the first time I have seen him.

I saw that although he was tall, he was a little skinny, with a pale face, giving people a feeling of malnutrition. Standing there, he looked like a thin bamboo pole.

Despite this, no one dared to look down on him. After all, he was ranked fourth among the top ten masters in the world. He was a real big shot.

The most important thing was that he exuded a very peaceful aura. His eyebrows were full of compassion. Obviously, this person's Buddhism... had already achieved great success!

"Xuan Du is here!" The voice of the old Heavenly Master came out.

"I have seen the Heavenly Master!" Xuan Du bowed deeply to Haoran Hall, then turned his head and looked at me, smiling, "Donor Zhang, I have heard about you. Your master has accepted a good disciple!"

"I have seen the master!" I bowed to him.

He smiled at the situation, and then sat beside Master Jiemie under the guidance of the elders of Longhu Mountain.

The two of them were obviously old acquaintances. They sat down and started chatting. However, they obviously didn't want people to hear what they were saying. I could only see their lips moving slightly, but I couldn't hear any sound.

"Five of the top ten masters in the world, including the old master, are already here!" I said secretly in my heart.

At this moment, the top ten masters in the world who were present were Taoist Qinglian, Luohua Wuhen, Nun Jiemie, Monk Xuandu and the old master.

Those who were not present were my master, Zhang Du'e, Zhang Wudi, the knife palm cabinet chef, the Southern Xinjiang sword god, and the boxing king Fu Chenglong Cheng Fu Laoyezi.

"Strange, why hasn't my father-in-law arrived yet? Chunya clearly said that she was going with him!"

Mao Buhui, who was not far away, looked anxious. As soon as he finished muttering, he heard footsteps on the steps again. Then, he saw a tall and sturdy man walking up slowly. Next to him, there was an acquaintance. This person was naturally Fu Chunya.

"Fu Chenglong, I came here to offer sacrifices!" Fu Chenglong clasped his fists towards the Haoran Hall.

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Fu!" The old Tianshi said lightly: "Please take a seat!"

"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!" Fu Chenglong nodded slightly, and then, under the guidance of the elders of Longhu Mountain, he sat next to the monk Xuandu.

"Wow, Master Fu Chenglong is known as the boxing king. He is the only one among the top ten masters in the world who made the list by relying on physical skills. He is a role model for those of us who practice martial arts and a model for learning!"

A disciple from an ancient martial arts family spoke up, his voice full of excitement, and his eyes looking at Master Fu Chenglong were full of admiration.

Except for Master Jiemie and Monk Xuandu, who are not well-known, the rest of the top ten masters in the world have more or less some admirers.

Among them, I guess Luohua Wuhen has the most male fans.

"Almost all the top ten masters in the world are gathered here, but the one I want to see most is the sword and sword master. What a pity, why didn't any of them come!" Someone whispered.

"I wanted to see Zhang Du'e the most, but he didn't come either. Fortunately, his apprentice Zhang Qianyu is here, which makes up for the regret!"

"I just don't know if Zhang Wudi will come? Probably not, right? He had such a big incident, I guess he has been banned by Longhu Mountain!"

"Not necessarily, although Zhang Wudi's official status is gone, he is still a strong man after all. Longhu Mountain should still respect the strong!"

Everyone gathered together and kept whispering. Even Bai Qi and his companions smiled slightly.

"Although it is the end of the Dharma era, the human race... still has strong people!" Bai Qi said lightly.

In response, Meng Tian just sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"General Meng, when I came to Longhu Mountain, my father once specifically reminded me not to underestimate the strong in the world. Along the way, I have always taken it as a warning, and I hope General Meng can do the same!" The voice of Prince Fusu came out.

Hearing this, Meng Tian nodded and put away the rebellious look on his face.

At this time, footsteps were heard again, and then the crowd on the steps made a commotion again.

"Who is coming again?"
