Chapter 7: Reward
"Whether it's true or not, you and I will find out when you go to the vicinity of that secret passage." Zhao Zheng said firmly.
"That's right, this matter is not trivial, without further ado, let's go over and have a look." Le didn't know that he was so anxious that sweat came out, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulder, tapped the ground, and flew up. He grabbed Zhao Zheng and flew all the way over many houses until he reached the drain, and found that the stone cover there had been lifted, revealing a secret passage that led straight down.
Seeing this scene, Le didn't know that his heart sank, don't look at how tightly this secret passage is hidden, but it is a major secret in the sect, only a few people know about it, and it is never disclosed to the public. I didn't expect this secret passage to be known to outsiders, and it was used by gangsters, which is really terrible.
"Oops, awful, terrible." Le didn't know how to be so anxious that he put Zhao Zheng on the ground, and without saying a word, he entered the secret passage without authorization and went to investigate the situation of the iron door.
Zhao Zheng was only responsible for conveying the news, but he didn't want to get too involved in this matter. After the Taishan faction learned that the secret passage had been broken into by outsiders, they would definitely handle the matter carefully, either to strengthen the secret passage or simply destroy it, and they would definitely not ignore it. Only when this secret passage is blocked or completely disappeared, so that he can rest assured. One can have two, and he doesn't want someone to come into his bedroom one night and snatch away his Zichu Sword.
He expected that he was right, and after confirming that the iron door of the secret passage had been pried open by outsiders, he immediately sounded the alarm bell in the faction, and used the highest alert level, which alarmed all the people of the entire Taishan faction. After hearing the alarm bell, the three major swordsmen of the Taishan faction, as well as the hall master and elder, all heard the news and asked the reason.
Le Bu gave a brief explanation of what had happened to the backbone of the Taishan faction, and quickly assigned, letting some people inspect and search inside the door, letting some people strictly guard at their posts, letting another part of them go down the mountain to start a chase, and let Zhao Zheng describe the physical characteristics of the gangsters.
Zhao Zheng did not tell the truth, but fabricated a villain out of thin air. The reason why he didn't name the Silver Dart was because the Silver Dart had warned him, and because the Tarzan faction might not be able to capture the Silver Dart in one fell swoop! Once the Taishan faction misses and lets the silver dart man go, it will be endless trouble, and he doesn't want to set up an enemy like the silver dart man when his martial arts have not yet been completed, so it's better not to ask for trouble.
Taishan sent all the troops to turn the Jade Emperor upside down, and chased and killed the unwarranted villain overnight, and the result was naturally a bamboo basket for nothing. Many people from the Taishan faction suspected that tonight's incident was the work of the old enemy Three Swords Sect, but Zhao Zheng did not push in this direction, claiming that the weapon used by the gangsters was a sword instead of a knife, so as to avoid the dispute between the two major sects again. He joined the Tarzan faction to solve problems, not to add to them.
The search was fruitless, and the Taishan faction did not suffer any losses, so the Taishan faction was more or less relieved. To the regret of the high-level Taishan faction, it was the loss of such an ingenious secret passage, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, this secret passage could only be completely sealed, filled with sand and stones, and blocked tightly.
After the turmoil basically subsided, Le Bu called Zhao Zheng to a living room alone, claiming to reward Zhao Zheng.
As soon as Zhao Zheng entered the door, he brought the traitor Zhang Dashan, and then beat away the gangsters at night to avoid losses. These two credits are very great, two merits are rewarded, in addition to the merit book painted two strokes, of course, to give a little more actual reward, otherwise how can the Taishan faction be called the gate faction.
"Zhao Zheng, you have made two great achievements for this sect in succession, and as a reward, this chief has decided to give you a full set of Cangsong swordsmanship and a 'night watch bug', are you satisfied?" Le Bu smiled.
Cangsong swordsmanship is the most widely spread swordsmanship of the Taishan School, and the grade is the top grade, which is divided into seven levels. The full set of Cangsong swordsmanship is generally only learned by disciples in the sect, and it is rarely given to marginal personnel like Elder Keqing to practice. Almost all the disciples of the Taishan faction have learned the Cangsong swordsmanship, and most of them also use this swordsmanship to fight when they walk the rivers and lakes in Pingyueli. However, this swordsmanship is not the Taishan faction's mastery at the bottom of the box, the reason why the Taishan faction can become a major sect, and stand for many years without falling, relies on another swordsmanship, but that swordsmanship is only qualified to learn by the pillars of the door, and even the cronies and disciples in the door have no chance to learn, let alone give it to Zhao Zheng.
As for the night watch, the insect is a rare alien worm, this insect is sleepless at night, and the alert surname is very high, and when someone approaches, it will scream. When the warriors are sleeping, they like to keep this night watch insect in their bedrooms to prevent thieves from sneaking in in the middle of the night. Because the night watch insect has this special surname, it is also commonly known as the "angry thief".
It is estimated that Le didn't know that he considered that Zhao Zheng had a heavy treasure on his body and needed to be careful of thieves, so he thought of sending a night watch bug to Zhao Zheng.
For these two rewards, Zhao Zheng is still very satisfied, his Maha swordsmanship is a huge grocery store, any swordsmanship can be integrated and absorbed, the more you learn, the better. As for the night watch bug, it also has a very practical effect for him, and this kind of insect can not be found at all.
"Thank you, Steward, both of these rewards have worked very well for me and I am very satisfied. Since you gave it to me, I don't want to excuse myself. Zhao Zheng said overjoyed.
"There is no need to shirk, after you enter the Taishan faction, we will be a family in the future, and there is nothing polite about the family." Lefu waved his hand kindly, and then took out the two rewards one by one and placed them on the table.
Cangsong Swordsmanship is a hardcover booklet, the booklet is very new, the binding lines are all white, and it is spotless. The night watch bugs are housed in a small cage, which is black and resembles a cricket, but with a spot on its head. At this time, the night watch insect was sleeping, lying there motionless. Night vigils only at night, sleep all day during the day, and do not wake up if alarmed. Therefore, this night vigil insect can only be used for vigil, and it is useless during the day.
Zhao Zheng was not pretending to be polite, and directly grabbed the two rewards in his hands, and watched them repeatedly.
Flipping through the Cangsong swordsmanship, it is full of pictures and texts, recording a move and a style. This swordsmanship is the Taishan sect patriarch Heguan Taoist people when watching the pine tree to realize, to show a variety of pine characteristics of the pine, tall and straight not bending, strong and tenacious life.
Looking at the night watch insect again, the sleeping appearance looks small and cute, although the size is small, but the use is not small.
Zhao Zheng put down the two rewards, said a word of thanks, and said politely.
Pressing the topic of rewards, Le Buyi changed his words and said: "Zhao Zheng, today is a zodiac auspicious day, and I have already ordered someone to arrange your entrance ceremony." When it is noon, I will take you to worship our ancestors, and after worshipping our ancestors, I will take you to meet the elders and hall masters of this sect, so that you can have a meal with everyone and celebrate your entry together. After this cutscene, you will officially join the door. ”
"It's really troublesome." Zhao Zheng said politely.
"It's not a hassle, these are essential processes." Le Buzhi glanced at Zhao Zheng deeply, and said earnestly, "Zhao Zheng, as soon as you entered the door, you made two great achievements in a row, I feel that you may be the lucky star of this sect, and you will definitely be able to make more contributions to this sect in the future." If you have made a lot of contributions, I will consider giving the head of this sect and asking him to allow you to change from an elder of the guest to an elder of the hall or an elder in the sect, so that you will be closer to the sect. ”
"Whether I am an Elder Keqing or an Elder in the Sect, I will try my best to help the Taishan Sect, because I have been associated with this sect for a long time, and I have longed for this sect for a long time." Zhao Zhengyan pointed out. The reason why he said this was because he had joined the Taishan Sect in his previous life, and he had stayed in this sect for a long time, so he had a special feeling.
Le didn't know and didn't know, and thought that the so-called "relationship" was hiding some story, so he asked curiously: "How do you say this, could it be that you have known the people of this sect a long time ago?" ”
"Hehe, that's not the case, what I said about the relationship is only because I have heard a lot of stories about the heroes of the Taishan faction before, so I will always want to join the Taishan faction." Zhao Zheng said perfunctorily.
"I see." Le didn't know how to nod and didn't ask any further.
At the end of the conversation, I don't know that this busy man politely gave an eviction order. Zhao Zheng returned to his residence with the two rewards, and arranged them properly, the Cangsong Sword Technique was put into the system warehouse, and the Night Watch Worm was put into the worm cage warehouse.
At noon, Le Buyi sent someone to find Zhao Zheng and asked this person to help Zhang Luo worship his ancestors. This man is the master of the ceremonial hall, and he is in charge of this kind of thing.
The hall master explained the ritual process and asked Zhao Zheng to wash up first, and then go to worship the ancestors.
Zhao Zheng did as he said, took a bath, changed into the uniform of the Keqing elder of the Taishan faction, and then went out and followed the hall master to visit the ancestral hall of the ancestral master's tablet.
The ancestral hall is full of green smoke, the curtain is hung high, and there is a solemn offering table in the center, and there is a tablet of the ancestor on the table, on which the name of the ancestor is written in cinnabar red characters. On the wall above the tablet, there is also an ancient portrait depicting the appearance of the crane crown Taoist immortal wind bones.
Zhao Zheng adheres to the concept that there is gold under a man's knees, and he will never kneel to any living person, but it is still acceptable to kneel for an ancestor who has been dead for hundreds of years. He knelt on the cushion, kowtowed respectfully to the ancestor of the Taishan faction three times, and said something in public about swearing allegiance to the Taishan faction.
This simple ancestor worship ceremony is over.
Before leaving, Zhao Zheng looked at the portrait on the wall twice, and sighed in his heart: "If you have a spirit in the sky and see the two sects you founded by yourself killing each other, I don't know how you will feel." ”
People asked Cangtian, but Cangtian was silent, and no one could answer Zhao Zheng's question. (To be continued.) )
