On March 12, Liu Fu made a great performance of drum music, and Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing conference was officially held today. The so-called golden basin hand washing is a ceremony held when the people in the martial arts announce their retirement, the hands of the people who wash their hands are inserted into the golden basin full of clear water, and they swear that they will never fist and move the sword again, and never ask the right and wrong grievances in the martial arts, and the ceremony often invites fellow martial arts practitioners to observe and testify. When washing hands in the golden basin, the former rivals will also be invited, and all grievances and grievances will be resolved on the same day, and no matter which party can stir up the old things afterwards, otherwise the entire martial arts will rise up and attack it.

Liu Zhengfeng, as a master of Hengshan of the Wuyue Sword Sect, also has a high reputation in the martial arts, but he is now tired of fighting and fighting in the rivers and lakes and wants to be a musician. Liu Zhengfeng also made a lot of confidants and friends in his early years, one of whom was Qu Yang, an elder of the Sun Moon God Sect. It just so happened that he was also an old man with a musical dream, and the two hit it off, and the piano and flute ensemble performed a Jin Yong version of the Boyazi period.

Today's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference is not spectacular and grandiose, but all the people in the martial arts who are smiling and proud have basically come to Hengshan Liufu. Among them, Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan faction, "Junzi Sword", came in person, which flattered Liu Zhengfeng and led a group of people to greet him. Yue Buqun was also very modest, and he congratulated with a smile on his face, and as soon as he entered the door, the Tianmen Daoren, Dingyi Shitai, Yu Canghai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others who arrived first also greeted him.

The leaders and giants greeted each other, and there was no one to say a word, but no one knew what the real purpose of each of them was. It was almost noon, another burst of gongs and drums sounded, and five or six hundred distant visitors poured in, including the deputy leader of the beggar gang, the leader of the Zhengzhou Liuhemen, and the leader of the Haisha gang in the East China Sea. Some of these people knew each other well, some of them had never met, and for a while the hall was chattering.

And what is Cui Xiao doing at this time?

After Cui Xiao learned the location of Hengshan from Xiao Qi, he rode out of the Shanri Pavilion on a snowy ride early in the morning, and finally arrived at the foot of Hengshan before noon, and as soon as he got off the horse, two disciples of the Hengshan faction greeted him, and they saw that Cui Xiao was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, and the white horse was also full of energy, and he was not an ordinary person at a glance, so he hurriedly said politely: "This brother is here to participate in the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference?" ”

Cui straightened his clothes and replied coldly: "Exactly!" With that, he strode towards the gate at the foot of the mountain, the two disciples looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly ran to Cui Xiao's side.

Cui Xiao frowned, and before the man could speak, he asked first, "What are you doing?" ”

The disciple of Hengshan looked embarrassed, but he was afraid of offending the distinguished guests, so he could only say in a good voice: "This brother, according to the rules, please show the invitation." ”

Really!

Cui Xiao said calmly: "It's too late today, the horse is fast, and I don't know where the wind blows on the way." ”

The two Hengshan disciples looked at each other, and then one of them spoke: "That brother, the family teacher ordered us to see the stickers before we can enter the ......."

Cui Xiao's face turned pale, and his gloomy voice asked again, "Is this really the case?" The two Hengshan disciples bowed their heads and were silent, but their performance clearly told Cui Xiao that there was no way!

"Humph!" Cui Xiao snorted coldly, with his martial arts cultivation, it would be easy to put these two disciples. But he can't ignore one thing, the heads of the major factions who participated in the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference today are here, and he is not stupid enough to fight with others at this time. After thinking about it, he turned around and straddled the horse, and said: "Young Master Ben is not rare, what kind of thing is Liu Zhengfeng, Young Master Ben has already given a lot of face if he deigns to come over, if you don't enter, you won't enter." ”

Where would Cui Xiao really leave, but he rode around the snow and came to the foot of the mountain behind Hengshan, there was no Hengshan disciple guarding here, but the rugged mountain road was really not easy to walk. But fortunately, Cui Xiao had the foresight to learn Jin Yangong, and the light skill was also at the proficiency level of the first glimpse of the doorway, and it was really not difficult to climb the Liu Mansion in Hengshan to use it.

It's just a little tired.

Cui Xiao climbed up Heng Mountain, came to a secluded place on a cliff, then meditated to recover his internal strength, about half an hour later, as if he heard the sound of gongs and drums from Liu Fu, he straightened his clothes, and found that his brocade clothes and jade clothes were very eye-catching, and happened to see a lost Huashan disciple walking by, knocked unconscious, put on his clothes and walked in, mixed in the many Huashan disciples, lowered his head and was silent, but no one came to ask.

Liu Zhengfeng walked in front of the group of heroes, his face was full of joy, and he invited everyone to take a seat. However, these famous people are very decent and humble, and no one is willing to sit on the Taishi chair in the center, which is the chief. And Cui Xiao didn't know what kind of sect the one on the left was, anyway, he saw that the person was very old, and he should be the oldest here, so he sat on the left. The one on the right is the opposite, and you can see the sect at a glance.

Beggars. Except for the beggars, they couldn't figure out that the gang's clothes were in tatters and full of patches.

The heroes sat down, and the servants came up to offer food and wine. In the center of the hall, a disciple dressed in the costume of the Hengshan faction carried out a coffee table, which was covered with brocade, and just put it down, another disciple held a golden basin with golden light and placed it on the coffee table. The glittering and dazzling gold reflected Cui Xiao's eyes.

"Pure gold? How many ingots? ”

Xiao Qi said leisurely: "It's really pure gold, fifty gold is not a problem." ”

Cui Xiao licked his mouth, looked at the room with a pair of eyes, and immediately found that there were a lot of jewels in this room, famous calligraphy and paintings, and gold and silver bead curtains. It seems that this Liu Mansion can also find time to loot it, hey, could it be that this hidden mission is for me to loot the Liu Mansion? Interesting! Interesting! Cui Xiao thought to himself, of course, he also knew that the hidden mission could never be so simple.

At this time, Liu Zhengfeng walked to the front of the hall and said loudly: "All the senior heroes, all the good friends, all the young friends. Everyone came from afar, Liu Zhengfeng really put gold on his face, and he was grateful. Brother washed his hands of gold today, and from now on he will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and you must know the reason. The brother has received the grace of the imperial court to be a small official. As the saying goes: the food of the king, the matter of loyalty. The rivers and lakes pay attention to righteousness; The state is on official business, but it must obey the law in order to repay the king's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably be embarrassed. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from martial arts, and if my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they will do their own thing. ”

Cui Xiao pursed his lips and said in his heart: "Selfish ghost." If you switch to another sect, you will abandon all your disciples by yourself, and there is no teacher to cover them, what will happen to these disciples in the future? Continue to stay in Hengshan? His master has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that he will be criticized and discriminated against, and if he goes to other sects, he needs to re-practice martial arts, and he will be looked down upon everywhere, and in the end he can only become a gangster who does not enter the rivers and lakes. ”
