Chapter 5 Grand Ceremony
"Master, I wonder if the master brother has found it?"
When Yue Buqun heard this, he also smiled bitterly, "It's only you, the junior brother who just started, and I still remember your senior brother. I don't know where this kid went. Everyone searched for half a night but couldn't find it. Today is the ceremony of Hengshan Sect. The Five Mountains Sword Sect is in harmony, and I cannot be absent from the Huashan Sect. Forget it, after the ceremony, I will ask you Uncle Liu to think of a solution."
Liu Zhengfeng is the old man of Hengshan School. He was born and raised here. As a local snake, if Yue Buqun wants to come, he will naturally find a missing person like Linghu Chong.
Among the people present, only Xu Yang knew that Liu Zhengfeng would definitely not be able to help.
At this time, there were countless turbulent flows inside and outside Hengshan City, and they would eventually be involved in this master of Hengshan Sect. I just hope that those guys from Songshan Sect should not be involved too much.
You should know that in the original work, almost all Liu Zhengfeng's family and apprentices died at the Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony. Although Xu Yang couldn't bear it, his martial arts were probably too bad and he could not change the situation.
From the low martial arts world to the Zhongwu World, I just saw two or three jinhu characters. At most, I can only be considered second-rate masters, and they can already bring strong pressure to myself.
However, sometimes martial arts is not a magic pill that can solve everything. If he can really bring a way out to the Liu family, Xu Yang will naturally never sit idly by.
Everything depends only on opportunities.
In Hengshan City, Liu Mansion.
Liu Zhengfeng, dressed in a wealthy outfit, stood at the gate to greet the VIPs with two personal disciples. He was humble and looked like a rich man, more like a martial arts man.
Everyone knows that he is the only remaining old-level figure in the Zhongnan Yue Hengshan Sect, which is popular in the Wuyue Sword Sect, which is in the limelight in the martial arts world. Apart from the head of Mr. Mo Da, he is the only remaining old-level figure.
His attainments in the "Returning Feng Luo Yan Sword" have long surpassed his masters and ancestors, and there are even rumors in the world that his martial arts skills are only above Mr. Mo Da.
However, such a martial arts master has to wash his hands today and leave the world. He never asks about the world again. Whether he knows him or has only heard of his name, he sighs.
The Hengshan Sect is about to decline.
At this moment, there was no sign of unhappiness on Liu Zhengfeng's face, and even the joy was revealed in his eyes.
A group of heroes from the world came from afar, with everyone wearing swords, and the queues were neat and they looked very regular.
Obviously, it was a brother sect that came to celebrate for him.
When I got closer, I saw that the leader was handsome and blue shirt, with elegant appearance and extraordinary demeanor. Isn’t it the gentleman Jian Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect?
Liu Zhengfeng and Yue Bu* went deeper, but they often admired his elegant demeanor. This time, he would not be able to support the Huashan faction in the future. However, Yue Buqun traveled thousands of miles from Huashan, Shaanxi to Hunan, and Liu Zhengfeng was deeply moved.
He hurriedly went up to him: "Senior Brother Yue came here today, how dare you take responsibility? Thank you, Senior Brother, please come in quickly!"
Yue Buqun naturally would not put on the airs and smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liu retreated bravely and did not fight for victory or defeat. This is the humbleness and a model for us martial arts people. If everyone is like Senior Brother Liu, there will be many struggles in the world. My Five Yue Sword Sects are in harmony, so we naturally have to come to congratulate our senior brother, so we don't have to be too polite!"
When Liu Zhengfeng saw that he was elegant in his speech and humble in his words, he naturally admired him even more. It is said that the gentleman, Jian Yue, is a kind-hearted gentleman. When he saw him today, he was indeed well-known. With him here today, it seems that many things are sure of.
After saying a few gossips, he personally led everyone in Huashan to enter the hall.
The hall was already very lively at this time. Although it was just three o'clock in the silence, there was still some time before the ceremony officially began. Many masters from the Hengshan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Beggars' Sect had arrived together. Even Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng Sect, led several disciples to come early and waited for everyone to gather together in the hall.
After everyone met, they naturally greeted each other. Only Yu Canghai had just met in the morning. He had a bad attitude and had a few polite words with Yue Buqun, then sat down and closed his eyes.
Xu Yang fell behind the disciples of the Huashan Sect, and was not afraid of being seen by Yu Canghai. He had defected to the Huashan Sect. Not to mention that Yu Canghai might not be able to recognize him. Even if he recognized him, would he still dare to snatch people in front of Yue Buqun?
At this time, the guests who came to celebrate gradually arrived, with at least five or six hundred people of all kinds. The hall suddenly seemed a little crowded. The Master Dingyi of Hengshan Sect and the Taoist of Tianmen of Taishan Sect, including Yu Canghai, were all monks. They liked quietness and took their disciples back into the room to rest. However, Yue Buqun liked to make friends very much and did not care about the status of the visitor. He talked and laughed with everyone, and everyone was very happy.
For a moment, everyone praised the leader of the Huashan Sect for being unpretentious and revitalized his reputation and glorious. Yue Buqun thanked him one by one, and his expression seemed extremely calm.
Xu Yang was also very impressed by Yue Buqun's behavior. Not to mention anything else, he was much better than the arrogant Master Dingyi and the Taoist Tianmen who were arrogant.
Hypocrites are actually far more difficult to do than real villains. If Yue Buqun continues to be so hypocritical all his life and becomes a gentleman for the rest of his life, then there will be no difference between him and a real gentleman.
It was already noon, and Liu Zhengfeng had many disciples and began to command the servants to attend the banquet.
The Liu Mansion also occupies a large area, with about two hundred seats placed in front and behind the hall, and sat in a full seat.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a few bird guns outside the door, followed by firecrackers and gongs and drums. It was obvious that some officials came in person.
Liu Zhengfeng specially changed into a brand new mature robe, wide clothes and tight belts, and hurried to the front door to greet him with two personal disciples.
Soon, he saw him respectfully accompanying a senior official in official uniform into the door. The official looked drunk and his big eyes drooped. He had no heroic spirit except for the wine and lust. He was obviously not a person with martial arts.
Everyone was wondering, and saw the high-ranking official unfolding a yellow silk roll and shouting: "The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng will receive the edict!"
Imperial edict?
Everyone was shocked.
You should know that although the court is not very famous now, it is the court. Most of the people present in the martial arts world have illegal things. It is inevitable that they will kill, rob, steal, and bet.
Who can walk around the world and be able to keep clean?
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, some people even began to wonder whether Liu Zhengfeng wanted to take the opportunity to retire because he violated the law of the king?
The crowd was suddenly infuriated. You should know that there was a saying that the nine clans were killed at this time. If Liu Zhengfeng was suspected of conspiring to rebel, then everyone present would inevitably be involved. Instead of being wanted at that time, it would be better to rush forward, kill the unconscious officer and run away.
Who can prove that you have been here?
However, Liu Zhengfeng seemed to have expected it, knelt down on his knees and shouted with a respectful attitude: "The grass-roots Liu Zhengfeng welcomed the imperial edict!"
Then the high-ranking officials gave a speech, and the sentences on the imperial edict were questioned and silenced. Except for a few people who were indeed beautiful, other martial arts people were confused.
Someone explained in a low voice in private that the emperor received a report from the governor, who specifically praised Liu Zhengfeng for being a decent person, eager for justice, and was committed to maintaining stability in the court. So he issued an edict to give the title of "General" as a commendation, hoping that Liu Zhengfeng would serve the court more in the future and benefit the countryside.
Then everyone looked at Liu Zhengfeng with a look of contempt.
You should know that serving the court is equivalent to acting as a hawk. Liu Zhengfeng is not good at Hengshan Sect, but he is a military officer with a size of sesame and green beans, or a false title. He doesn't know how much money he spent to bribe gold, silver and treasures to get the benefits.
Liu Zhengfeng received the imperial edict and was overjoyed. He stuffed a pack of gold, silver and soft in public to the official who issued the imperial edict. He spoke in various ways and looked ugly.
Master Dingyi, who was on the other hand, was honest and blurted out "I'm willing to fall into depravity". After that, his face was already in a state of uncertainty.
Most of the people thought this way, but their status was far less than that of Master Dingyi, so they didn't dare to speak out, but they had a three-point disgust in their eyes.
The scene was originally a great golden basin hand washing ceremony, but because of the arrival of this official, the scene suddenly seemed extremely awkward.
Fortunately, the official took the money and said goodbye after being polite. Liu Zhengfeng's face was not enough to keep him to participate in any celebration.
Liu Zhengfeng respectfully sent him out again, and only when he came back was greeting all the heroes in the world.
The scene was already very ugly at this time. The chiefs were polite and no one was willing to sit down, so they had to come out in time. The big guys sat in batches according to their seniority.
Liu Zhengfeng's disciple brought out a large basin filled with golden light, filled with clean water, and firecrackers were set off at the door. Then everyone gathered together to watch him wash his hands with golden basin.
However, Xu Yang was no longer willing to watch this scene. You should know that the subsequent fight was just expected. As everyone was paying attention to Liu Zhengfeng, he quietly slipped into the backyard.
Unexpectedly, after a few steps, the collar was grabbed by someone.
"Junior Brother Lin, where are you going to be so sneaky?" The voice was crisp and beautiful, and it was Miss Yue Lingshan who arrived.
Xu Yang was just complaining in his heart, why did he provoke this person?
"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, I want to go to the thatched cottage." Xu Yang strongly defended.
Yue Lingshan looked like she was smiling and said mockingly: "Do you need to go to the backyard to go to the cottage? It seems that Junior Brother Lin, you are lustful? I heard that Uncle Liu's only daughter is pretty good, right? I heard...?"
"How did you say this?" Seeing that Xu Yang could not hide it from her, he didn't know how many rumors were about to come out of thin air, so he had to make up another lie: "Senior sister, indeed, his eyes are like a raging one. I'm not trying to go to the cottage, but..."
Looking around, Xu Yang leaned closer and whispered in Yue Lingshan's ear: "Just just now, I seemed to see a black shadow sneaking into the backyard. I'm afraid that some evil people would do something to steal. If you and I caught such a thief on the spot, wouldn't it be for me to win glory for my Huashan Sect?"
