Shao Tianqin is right, the first ones are just small characters, and when the golden basin handwashing ceremony is about to begin, there are many big people coming one after another.

Among them, the first to arrive were the three powerhouses of the third stage of the Demon Venerable, all of whom were dressed in blue and carried swords behind their backs.

Shao Tianqin pointed at the three people: "Three of the four sword leaders of the Demon Sword Sect have come, and these three people have reached the third stage of the Demon Venerable in their prime, and it is said that they have also been promoted by the Demon War Sect in the past. ”

A do-good person next to him wondered, "Why didn't the head of the Demon Sword Sect come?" ”

Shao Tianqin looked around, and said with a low smile: "There is some gossip, but it's just gossip, don't take it seriously." ”

Several people present also laughed twice, they knew what Shao Tianqin meant, the news from the disciples of the Zhenqing Pavilion Branch, could it still be gossip?

Shao Tianqin lowered his voice and said, "The current head of the Demon Sword Sect, Demon Feilong, is the younger generation of Demon Zhanqi according to his seniority, and he is the same generation as the four sword leaders present. It's just that at the beginning, this Demon Flying Dragon's cultivation qualifications were mediocre, and Demon Zhanqi promoted many others, but because of the conflict between Demon Feilong and his disciples, on the contrary, he also had a short protection and suppression of him, which also caused the two to have a grudge. As a result, no one expected that the successor of the head of the Demon Sword Sect had previously selected died halfway, and the specific reason was unknown, but the seemingly mediocre Demon Flying Dragon was really full of wings and soared into the sky. Soon after the Demon Flying Dragon stepped into the Demon Venerable Realm, he directly went through the Nine Transformations and became a saint, reaching the realm of the Demon Saint, after taking over the position of the head of the Demon Sword Sect a year ago, he observed the Nirvana Sword Marks left by the Demon Sword Ancestor, and then quickly retreated, and after leaving the customs, he had reached the level of the second stage of the Demon Saint, and had surpassed the achievements of several generations of the Demon Sword Sect. If you think about it carefully, the achievements of the disciples who were suppressed by themselves in the past are now far beyond the achievements of several generations of leaders of the Demon Sword Sect, and it is not easy for Demon Zhanqi to stay in the Demon Sword Sect for so long. He washed his hands in the golden basin today, it may not be without this reason, and now the Demon Flying Dragon can still let three Demon Venerable Realm powerhouses who have the best relationship with the Demon Zhanqi come to participate in his golden basin handwashing ceremony, which is already considered generous. ”

Some people with good deeds doubted: "But the outside world says that the old man is fair and just, and he likes to promote the juniors the most, not only the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect, but even the young cultivators on the rivers and lakes have been promoted by the old man." ”

Shao Tianqin glanced around and said: "It's inconvenient to say more about this place today, I just want to tell you, there has never been a saint in this river and lake, it is the most normal to help relatives and not to help, his own disciples have been bullied, even if he is a fair person, can he still help outsiders?"

Several people present nodded hesitantly, and just as they were about to say something, several groups of people walked in from outside.

Shao Tianqin said like a few family treasures: "Lingdong Zhou Family, Bashui Lu Family, Jiuhua Sect, Red Flame Sword Sect............ Tsk, more than a dozen big factions have come, Mo Zhanqi has been in the rivers and lakes for half his life, and there are really a lot of people who give him face, hey, this is a real big man. ”

As he spoke, a man in his early thirties dressed as a royal in his early thirties wore silver bright light armor and a long sword at his waist. Seeing the person coming, this time it was not the eldest son of the demon family who greeted him, but Mo Zhanqi himself came out to greet him.

Mo Zhanqi is more than seventy this year, his face is square, and his hair is gray, but after all, he has the strength of the Demon Venerable Realm, although he has only reached the realm of three turns, it is easy for Shouyuan to pass a hundred, and now although it has reached the time of decay of qi and blood, his strength still retains most of it.

Today's Mo Zhanqi was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, and he didn't bring weapons, he was dressed like a rich man, and when he saw the person dressed as a royal family coming here, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said: "I actually bothered General Xiang to come in person, and the old mansion is really full of splendor." ”

The general waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of the old man, I'm just a captain under the command of the Zhenshan Army, and I can't afford the title of general." ”

Mo Zhanqi said with a smile: "Worthy of it, who doesn't know that General Xiang is now the confidant and favorite general of General Huang Runbin, the general of the Zhenshan Army, and he has reached the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm at a young age, it is estimated that it will not be long before General Xiang can step into the realm of Demon Venerable, and he will definitely be named a deputy general at that time. ”

Hearing Mo Zhanqi say this, the general didn't say much, just casually untied the long knife at his waist and threw it to Mo Zhanqi as a congratulatory gift, and walked straight in.

It is normal for cultivators to give their own weapons as gifts, but the problem is that now that Demon Zhanqi is going to wash his hands in a golden basin, it turns out that this general actually gave a knife, which is very unlucky.

After receiving the gift, the corners of Mo Zhanqi's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything, just asked the attendant to obediently bring people in.

Shao Tianqin said in a low voice in the rear: "The royal family of the Gali Empire has stationed three armies here, named the Zhenshan Army, these three armies are directly under the command of the royal family, and our Fengqiao Town is actually under the management of the Zhenshan Army." This person's name is Xiang Weiyang, he is the confidant of Huang Runbin of the Zhenshan Army, his reputation was not obvious before, but after being discovered and promoted by Huang Runbin, he shined, participated in the encirclement and suppression of the bandits' lair, and led the team to exterminate the Fang family who was disrespectful to the royal family within one day, and the means were decisive and ruthless. ”

Someone beside him whispered curiously: "It's a little strange that people from the royal family and the military came to participate in the golden basin handwashing ceremony of our Jianghu people." ”

Shao Tianqin said in a deep voice: "There is nothing strange about it, in the past, my various empires fought for many years, because of today's saints, heroes, united rivers and lakes, martial arts, and the army and the people are united to solve the bandits internally, and defeat the surrounding empires externally, until they let them no longer invade our border people." Although the disputes between the royal family and the rivers and lakes have been more intense in recent years, the previous relationship is still there, and as a demon war, the Zhenshan Army sent a promising captain to support him, which can be regarded as giving him face. ”

After Xiang Weiyang, who represented the royal family, came, there were also several people from the big faction in the follow-up, the most famous of which was a tattered monk wearing a tattered body, and he looked like a beggar. The great monk and Mo Zhanqi seemed to have a good relationship, and after the two sides were polite, they were brought in by Mo Zhanqi himself.

Shao Tianqin said in a low voice: "The abbot of Yuantong Temple, Hengshan Zen Master, is an ancestor-level figure in the Buddhist world of the Gali Empire, highly respected, and also a demon realm, and has also reached the master of the third turn, of course, he is more famous for his attainments in Buddhism, which is the strongest one among these Buddhist temples in the Gali Empire, I heard that he has been invited by many Buddhist temples to talk about Zen Taoism. Zen Master Hengshan and Mo Zhan Qi are close friends, and this time Mo Zhan Qi washed his hands and invited him to be a witness. ”

The few people who followed Shao Tianqin nodded again and again, although they also like to inquire about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes on weekdays, but those are all rumors and small talk, where is there a real disciple of the Zhenqing Pavilion like Shao Tianqin?

An hour later, when almost everyone had arrived, Mo Zhanqi walked up to a high platform in the middle of the courtyard, and arched his hands around and said, "All of you colleagues have come to participate in the ceremony of washing hands in the golden basin of the old decay today, and the old decay has nothing to say except gratitude." In the past, he was just a down-and-out small businessman, but in his twenties, he was discerned by his master and worshiped under the Demon Sword Sect, and he had been in this river and lake for decades, and he had a little insignificant reputation. Slaying demons and eliminating demons, in order to maintain the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, although it also offended some people. However, the old man asked himself that the people he offended were all people in the demon path, and he had a clear conscience. ”

As soon as he heard this, someone immediately underneath said, "Demon Old Man, if your reputation is only insignificant, then we will become truly nameless." ”

Mo Zhanqi smiled and said: "How many heroes and heroes are there in the rivers and lakes, compared to them, isn't it insignificant? It is precisely because of seeing these heroes and heroes that the old man feels that he is already old and can't make more contributions to the sect. Stepping into the rivers and lakes for decades, I have seen ups and downs, and I have experienced big waves and waves, and it is time to go ashore, and those grievances and grievances will be written off from now on. The old demon Zhanqi, today officially washed his hands of the golden basin, and from now on he will not ask about the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes, regardless of whether the martial arts are right or wrong. Go to the Golden Basin!"

As soon as the words fell, the eldest son of Mo Zhanqi had already brought up the golden basin full of water, and the abbot of Yuantong Temple, Hengshan Zen Master, was also standing aside, as a witness to this golden basin handwashing ceremony. Hengshan Zen Master's responsibility as a witness is not small, as a witness, it means that he can prove that Mo Zhanqi has washed his hands, and if Mo Zhanqi interferes in the affairs of the rivers and lakes again in the future, it will be a broken rule, and he, as a witness, will be the first to take action against Mo Zhanqi. And if someone else does something to Mo Zhanqi who has already washed his hands, it is also a broken rule, and as a witness, he must be the first to stand up to help Mo Zhanqi and contact the Jianghu people to help. It can be said that this is a very troublesome thing, if it is not a real best friend, or a senior brother of the master, no one will take this position.

Everyone below was waiting for the last scene of washing their hands in the golden basin, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

"The old man has prepared a golden basin to wash his hands, but the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, but have you asked others if they are willing to follow you but this grievances? Don't say it's a golden basin, even a purple golden basin can't wash away the blood on your hands, and it can't wash away the cause and effect on your body. There is a good saying: dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sigh a few people in the rivers and lakes. Demon old man, if you want to quit this river and lake so peacefully, it's not so easy. ”

Everyone suddenly looked back, only to see that on the courtyard walls around the mansion, there were nearly 100 black-clothed men standing at some point. A black samurai suit, a black iron hat with gold stripes, and a strange black iron mask. There was a hideous blood mark on the black iron mask of the leader man, and his cold eyes looked at Mo Zhanqi, and the slaughter of Sen Ran made the entire Fengqiao Town shrouded in the chill of Sen Ran, and the temperature around him dropped sharply!
