There is tea on the table, clear tea.

The curling heat wafts out from the tea water, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Zhao Zheng picked up the teacup on the table, opened the green tea leaves floating on the tea with the tea lid, and took a sip with his glass. A sip of tea is fragrant and permeable. He put down his teacup and looked at the person sitting next to him.

The person next to him is not an ordinary person.

Judging from his appearance, this person is about fifty years old, not too old, but he is by no means young, he is an old man. He was slightly blessed, wearing a brown robe, with a sword hanging from his waist on the left side and a treasure bag hanging from his right. He had a kind smile on his face, and he looked like a spring breeze.

This kind old man is the current head of the Taishan faction. I don't know.

Since he was wronged seven years ago, Jin Tai, the head of the Taishan faction, has been in a slump and has no intention of taking care of the affairs of the sect, so he temporarily handed over the power of the sect to his junior brother Le Buzhi, and let Le Buzhi take charge of the faction and handle the affairs of the sect for him.

I don't know that there is an eightfold heavenly cultivation, and when it comes to strength, it is far inferior to the famous Three Musketeers of Mount Tai, but he is very honest and honest, and he is very lenient and humble in dealing with people, and in terms of surname and prestige, he is far stronger than the Three Musketeers of Mount Tai, so he will be entrusted with important tasks by Jintai.

Now the head of Jintai is finally said to be in retreat, and he rarely comes out to meet people, and all the things in the Taishan faction are handed over to Le Buzhi, and he is equivalent to the head.

Zhao Zheng traveled thousands of miles to the Taishan faction and asked to join it and serve as the elder of Keqing, and he first had to obtain the consent of the head of the faction.

"Zhao Shaoxia, how about this green tea produced in Taishan?" Le asked with a smile. His face was like a full moon, and his eyes were narrowed into crescents.

"Taishan's green tea is famous all over the world, and it does have a unique fragrance. However, I am not here to drink tea, but to serve as an elder of the guest secretary. Zhao Zheng replied with a smile.

"Young people are anxious to do things, and those serious things are not too late to wait until the tea is drunk."

"In that case, the juniors are not in a hurry to seek answers." Zhao Zheng replaced wine with tea, and Xiang Le didn't know how to raise the teacup.

The time of the half-pillar incense passed, and the tea finally bottomed out.

Le didn't know how to shake the teacup that was about to be empty, and said in the preface: "Zhao Shaoxia, there is something unknown about the old decay, you are talented, and you are a free body, there are many sects to choose from, why do you want to choose the Taishan faction?" You must know that although Elder Keqing only stayed in the Taishan Sect as a guest, he could not eat and live in vain, and he still had to bear a certain amount of responsibility, which was not an easy burden. ”

"Hui Yule Manager, the reason why I chose your faction is for two reasons, one is because I admire your faction's Cangsong sword technique, if the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, the elders who joined your faction also have hope to learn this sword technique." Zhao Zheng replied calmly. As the saying goes, no profit can't afford to be early, if there is no plan, no one will join the Taishan faction.

"This is indeed the case, if Elder Keqing is loyal to this sect and has made a great contribution, he can also learn the sect's peerless Cangsong swordsmanship." Le Bu nodded in acknowledgement, and then asked, "What is the second reason that prompted you to join this sect?" ”

"The second reason is that I want to get your sect's spirit fruit 'Saliva Fragrant White Jade Fruit', as far as I know, after taking this spirit fruit, I can quickly improve my cultivation, and I can even make a Sevenfold Heavenly Martial Artist become an Eightfold Heavenly Martial Artist, saving years or even more than ten years of cultivation time." Zhao Zheng continued to answer. Everything he said was true, it was the kind of spiritual fruit that was rare in the world that attracted him to the Taishan Sect, once he took that kind of spiritual fruit, his cultivation would leap forward!

Le didn't know that he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after he came back to his senses, he laughed and said: "Zhao Shaoxia is really good at joking, although this sect does have a spirit fruit like saliva white jade fruit, but this kind of spirit fruit can only be taken by the head of the sect and the people who have made great contributions to the sect." Don't say it's you, even the old man doesn't have this blessing. If you really came here for this kind of spiritual fruit, you might as well die this heart as soon as possible. ”

"I know there's little hope, but no matter how slim the hope, it's hope. If people don't do things, they will never be able to succeed. My second reason is a bit ridiculous and a bit of a dream, but that's why I'm here. Zhao Zheng said indifferently. Others would think it was a joke, but he himself had a lot of confidence. He knows everything about the Taishan faction, and by taking advantage of this advantage, he can take the lead step by step, do a lot of beautiful things for the Taishan faction, and even hope to resolve the contradictions and entanglements between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect. If you make these great achievements, you will naturally be able to get the few saliva fragrant white jade fruits.

I didn't know that Zhao Zheng was talking about it, so I couldn't continue to sneer, nodded and said: "It's a good thing that young people are a little ambitious, I shouldn't kill a boatload of people with a rod, and talk too much." In addition to these two reasons, are there any other reasons that drove you to the Tarzan Sect? ”

"I think those two reasons are enough."

"It's really enough. Since you are determined to join the Tarzan faction, then I won't ask anything more. You have the sixfold heavenly cultivation, and you have the first sword in your hand, you can join my Taishan faction, and you will definitely be able to magnify the lintel of this faction, which is really a blessing for this faction. The head of this sect is still in retreat, and he has no time to take care of the affairs of the sect, and everything is in charge of everything by me, the head of the sect. As the head of the faction, I agreed to this matter, and from now on, you will be the guest elder of the Taishan faction. I will arrange a place for you to live and practice on the top of the main peak, the Jade Emperor. Le Bu smiled.

"Thank you Mr. Le, I promise that I will do my best to help the Taishan faction from now on, and I will never have two hearts." Zhao Zheng stood up and thanked him.

Even if this matter was so decided, I didn't know how to invite Zhao Zheng to take a seat, and told Zhao Zheng some of the rules of the Taishan faction and the responsibilities of Elder Keqing. As the saying goes, villains come first, then gentlemen, it's better to say these rules in advance, if you wait until after the foul play, it's too late.

In fact, the rules of the world's famous and decent families are almost the same, one is to keep the precepts, and the other is to respect the courtesy. Keeping the precepts is nothing more than not sneaking around, not killing innocents indiscriminately, not messing with flowers and grass, and so on. Respecting the ceremony is nothing more than respecting the teacher, and bowing when you see a big person such as the head, elder, and hall master, etc.

Zhao Zheng originally knew more than half of these rules, and today he listened to the other half, and he secretly wrote down these miscellaneous rules, so as not to violate them in the future.

After talking about the written rules, I don't know what to say about some unwritten rules.

"Since you have joined the Taishan faction, I will no longer call you Zhao Shaoxia, so it will inevitably seem raw, so I will simply call you by your name." Le doesn't know.

"I can't afford this chivalrous word in the first place, it's best for Manager Le to call me by my name directly." Zhao Zheng said happily.

Le Bu nodded, and then said: "Zhao Zheng, as a person in the rivers and lakes, you should have heard a little about it, this sect has a conflict with the neighbor Three Swords Sect, and there have been many fights in recent years, and there have been a lot of casualties. ”

"This kind of thing is known to everyone, not to mention the people in the rivers and lakes, even ordinary people know it." Zhao Zheng said solemnly.

"Since you've heard about these things, I won't go into details, but I'll just pick the important ones and tell you about them. Three years ago, an unprecedentedly fierce bloody battle broke out between the Sect and the Three Swords Sect in Tai'an County, with extremely heavy casualties. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, we made a pact with the Three Swords Sect, agreeing to divide the river in Tai'an County, hand over the west of Tai'an County to the Three Swords Sect, and we retreat to the east of Tai'an County. In this way, we have lost a large part of the land, allowing the Three Swords Sect to take advantage, but in order to avoid another bloody battle, we can only do this. Since then, the people in this sect can no longer move in the area west of Tai'an County, and if they move there, it is very likely that they will cause friction with the Three Swords Sect again. In order to avoid causing trouble to the Taishan faction, you must firmly abide by this agreement, and do not easily go to the west of Tai'an County to carry out activities. Le Bu Zhengse warned. Rao is such a person who loves to laugh, and when he said this, he lost the smile on his face.

"I will keep this matter in mind, and I will never venture to the west of Tai'an County in the future." Zhao Zheng swore solemnly.

"This is the best, it will save you from trouble, and it will also save the Tarzan faction from disaster." Le Bu said with a long sigh, as if he had aged a few years in an instant, "The world is impermanent, providence makes people, a few years ago, we had a good relationship with the Three Swords Sect, just because of that one thing, it caused the two sects to turn against each other and form a blood feud." I don't know when the hatred between the two sects will be resolved and the two sects will be reconciled. ”

"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, and if you want to resolve the grievances between the two sects, you have to trace back to the source. Only by solving the unsolved case seven years ago and finding out the real culprit behind the scenes can we hope to resolve the hatred between the two sects. ”

"Everyone understands this, but how easy is it to do? It's been so long since two of the witnesses from seven years ago are gone, and the secret room where I heard about the incident has changed. Moreover, the Three Swords Sect is now like a mad dog, gritting its teeth with hatred for this sect, and will not let the people of this sect enter their territory at all. Our people can't even go, let alone find out the truth. If the truth could be found out, the head of this faction would have found out a long time ago, how could it have been delayed until today. It's a pity that for such a thing, so many innocent people have been involved in two doors, and the people who have died in the two doors over the years are combined, not to mention more than 500 people. Le Bu shook his head and sighed again.

"It can't be fake, it can't be fake, the truth is clear, the retribution is unpleasant, I believe that sooner or later the truth will come out." Zhao Zheng said firmly. He has been a human being for two lives, and he knows all the ins and outs of the tragic death of the sect master of the Three Swords Sect in the secret room, and with this, he is confident that he can find out who is behind the scenes and let the truth be revealed to the world. It's just that this matter is too implicated and too difficult to do, and it can't be solved overnight.

"By your auspicious words, I also hope to see this day in my lifetime." Le Bu smiled bitterly.

Zhao Zheng felt that this topic was too heavy, so he changed the conversation and said: "Manager Le, let's put these depressing topics aside for the time being, let's talk about something happy." ”

"Do you have anything happy to say?" Le Bu asked.

"Before I went up the mountain, I prepared a thin gift for the Taishan faction, and you will be very happy to see this thin gift." Zhao Zheng smiled. (To be continued.) )
