Next is Zhang Shuo's conferral ceremony, the ceremony is divided into three steps, first to the Lingbao faction as the supreme god of the Yuan Shi Tianzun three kneels and nine bows, and then on the Lingbao altar to recite the "Sutra of Salvation", and finally by Ge Xuan personally awarded the identity token engraved with the logo of the Lingbao faction.

The reason for such a simple reason is entirely because of Zhang Shuo's special status, and all kinds of etiquette have been simplified. The formal ordination ceremony includes initiation, worship, transmission, fasting, table, and sending.

Let's just say that Zhang Shuo's second step, if it is an ordinary disciple, in order to show integrity, it is necessary to kneel and recite the entire "Duren Sutra"!

After this series of ceremonies, Zhang Shuo was awarded the title of "Taishang Sanwu Du Gong Jing", and the power of the Tao was +10%. In the matter of conferring and upgrading, Zhang Shuo did not get the privilege, and he also needed to be awarded a level of additional rank, and the interval between the two conferments could not be less than one year. In other words, if Zhang Shuo wants to get the second-level bonus, it will be at least today next year.

This series of things has been dealt with, and the sun has set. At Ge Xuan's invitation, Zhang Shuo and the others decided to rest on the top of the mountain for one night and leave tomorrow. By the way, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the morning glow of Mt. Qushan.

And when Zhang Shuo was on the top of Qu Mountain and accepted the Lingbao Sect, the Dongwu Kingdom, located in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, was crying. Because just yesterday, Long Ji, the general of Chu in Shouchun County, broke through Hefei County, Jiujiang County, and Sun Ben, the general of Annan of Eastern Wu, was killed on the spot.

This Sun Ben is the nephew of Sun Jian, the king of Eastern Wu, who has made many military exploits in the war of unifying Jiujiang County in Eastern Wu and is deeply trusted by Sun Jian.

In order to make up for his debt to Sun Ben and to stabilize the army, Sun Jian rewarded Sun Ben's brother, Sun Fu, who was stationed in Chengde County, and the beauty, land, and money were the same.

It's just that this Sun Fu's personality is completely different from his brother's, he is a complete mercenary, and in front of him, wealth trumps all emotions.

"General Sun, there is a business at the door."

At the door of the marshal tent of the military camp not far from Chengde County, there was a shout from the soldiers. This is Sun Fu's special term, which means that there are goods coming to the door, originally because of the death of his brother Sun Ben, Sun Fu didn't see anyone, but at this time, when he heard that the goods came to the door, he couldn't help but raise his spirit again.

"Come in!"

As Sun Fu's words fell, two soldiers walked in carrying a sandalwood box. Looking at the size of the box, there should be quite a few things in it. At Sun Fu's suggestion, the soldiers put the box on the table and opened the lid, which was full of jewels and gold, illuminating his eyes.

Sun Fu slowly stepped forward, looking at the piles of gold, daggers inlaid with precious stones, as well as precious gems and jewelry, he was suddenly dazzled, and his eyes were full of greed.

"General, people are outside, saying that they want to get an official and a half-position under you, so as to glorify the ancestors." The soldiers who came in with the box reported softly to Sun Ben.

"Want to be an officer? Isn't that simple? Let them in! ”

"Whoa."

When the soldier heard this, he quickly retreated, and soon led the master and servant to the tent. The owner is also in his twenties, with a long brocade robe and a golden crown, a handsome and chic appearance, and a talent. The servants, on the other hand, were strong and had large shoulders and round waists. According to the rules, he could only stand at the door of the tent.

The master was let in after being subjected to a strict body search by Sun Fu's own soldiers and making sure that he was not carrying any weapons.

The young man entered the tent and bowed respectfully to Sun Fu: "See General Sun!" ”

"What's your name?" Sun Fu, who received the money, spoke in a soft tone and had a smile on his face.

The young man said respectfully: "Under the surname Li, the name is Hongzhang, and he is from Hefei." ”

Sun Fu nodded, he didn't care, he just asked casually politely: "What official do you want to be?" ”

"It's my father who wants to be an official, and I don't know the specifics, my father put a letter in the box, didn't the general see it?"

"Letter?" Sun Fu was stunned, he opened the box and looked for it, but he didn't see any letters.

"Where is the faith?" Sun Fu asked with a frown.

"I remember!"

Li Hongzhang patted his forehead, suddenly realized, and said apologetically: "I hid the letter on the wall of the box, it's not easy to find, I'll give it to the general." ”

After getting Sun Fu's permission, Li Hongzhang stepped forward and groped for the wall of the box with his hand, really finding a crack. Unexpectedly, he grabbed the jewel-encrusted dagger from the box. The scabbard was withdrawn, and the dagger was pressed against Sun Fu's neck, and at the same time, the saber from Sun Fu's waist was pulled out and thrown aside.

"Don't move, if you move, I'll kill you!"

Sun Fu was stunned, and several pro-soldiers in the tent roared and pounced, but Li Hongzhang dragged Sun Fu back a few steps, and roared with a fierce look: "Tell them to put down all their weapons!" ”

Feeling a sharp stinging pain in his neck, Sun Fu came to his senses, and immediately shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't mess around!" All put down their knives. ”

Several pro-soldiers stopped, had to slowly put down the knife, at this time, the big man at the door of the tent rushed in, he picked up a knife from the ground, several knives waved, the screams sounded, several pro-soldiers were separated, a human skull rolled to Sun Fu's feet, frightened Sun Fu's legs trembled.

"Thou art .... Who? ”

"Didn't I tell you?" Li Hongzhang smiled slightly.

Sun Fu was frightened and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Sun Fu, to tell you the truth, I am the squire of the Liu Song National Military Department of Danyang County, and now my king and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, have formed an alliance and divided Jiujiang in two!

As long as you surrender to us now, I will protect you from being a high-ranking official and rich all your life. If you don't, I'll take your head to repay the merits!" ”

Sun Fu only felt unbelievable for a while, did the minister of Liu Song State break into his big tent and capture himself like this? But everything in front of him was so real, at this time, the door of the tent was crowded with hundreds of Sun Fu's personal guards, holding swords and confronting the big man viciously, but no one dared to step forward.

At this moment, a messenger broke up and rushed in, shouting, "General Sun, an army of about 20,000 people has come from the southeast, and it has reached two miles away from us......"
