Chapter 14: The World Heroes Conference (1)
Liu Banxian and Li Yan returned to Huating Mansion in shock, and suddenly found that the eyes of others looking at them had changed, becoming respectful and cautious. Their acquaintances also increased, and they greeted warmly: "Master Liu, where have you gone?"
Liu Banxian clenched his fists left and right, with a light smile on his face. He certainly knows that this is the magic of the post. No matter who you are, as long as you take this invitation, your value will immediately double, even if you have no background, others will make one up for you.
Li Yan didn't like this kind of swaggering feeling very much, and he said in a low voice: "Master, I'm afraid. The Qin Palace's Mansion is still catching me......"
Liu Banxian smiled: "Then you should be more energetic." The more you do that, the less people will dare to arrest you. ”
Li Yan reluctantly took out the posture of the chief disciple, but he always felt weak in his heart.
Back at the inn, the guy trotted out to greet him. Liu Banxian said: "Store, although I have a post, I won't eat and live in vain, and the store money will still pay you!"
The guy humbly replied, "Master Liu laughed. You are willing to move in, it is to give the bad shopkeeper and the owner a big face, we can't invite us, how dare you take half a cent of silver? If you are humble, the small one can not afford it!"
Liu Banxian nodded helplessly, looked inside, and asked, "Where are the people from the Golden Dao Gate?"
The man said: "What kind of goods are they? They also deserve to live under the same roof with the head of Liu? My shopkeeper is afraid that they will disturb your peace, so he took it upon himself to drive them all away." ”
Liu Banxian smiled bitterly and went back to the room with Li Yan. The house was also recleaned, replaced with mahogany furniture, and two copper incense burners were filled with cigarette smoke.
Li Yan said curiously: "Master, this invitation is really so powerful?"
Liu Banxian said: "It's not that the invitation is powerful, it's that King Qin is powerful." He can change the identity of others with a single piece of paper, which shows the great energy. In fact, I don't dislike this prince, many of his actions are quite courageous. For example, this hero conference, if he is missing, how can it be the first event in the world?"
"Master......" Li Yan hesitated and reminded: "Madame Momiji said that Siming is not a good person......
Liu Banxian said: "Remember for the teacher." But that red leaf was originally a woman in the Qinglou, and she could only believe half of her words. A person should be judged by his actions, not by the rumors of others. But ......"
A trace of dark clouds climbed up Liu Banxian's forehead: "If what the woman said is true, this King of Qin is too terrifying......"
At this time, the door of the room rang "Tuk Tuk", and the guy said outside: "Second master, the head of the Golden Dao Gate has just asked to see you!"
Li Yan was taken aback: "Does he still have to make trouble?"
Liu Banxian said: "No, he is here to apologize." He raised his voice and said, "Let Master Tong please come inside." ”
I only heard the soaring footsteps on the stairs, the door creaked and was gently pushed open, and there was a man in his fifties standing outside, he was not a monk, but his head was shiny, and the smiles on his face were piled up, and he hugged his fists and said: "Master Liu, Brother Li, I will make amends to the two of you!"
This Tong is a delicate figure. He opened a museum in Guanzhong to practice martial arts, although he can't talk about chivalry and righteousness, but he is by no means a heinous person. It's just that the martial arts hall has opened a lot, and it is inevitable that it will be a bit arrogant.
Originally, with their strength, they would never be able to get the invitation of King Qin, but Master Tong still came to Huating Mansion with Baba. First, it is intended to accept all major sects, and secondly, if others ask, they can barely be regarded as attending the meeting.
But unexpectedly, his apprentice was usually used to being domineering, and he had a conflict with a Taoist priest, but his head was hot, and he also issued a pursuit order. It wasn't a big deal to stay somewhere else. But he forgot that this was Huating Mansion, and he never expected that the Taoist priest would have a hero post in his hand when he came back.
That's a hassle. This year's post is unsigned, and there are only two ways to get it: first, it was sent by King Qin. Second, grab it yourself.
So no matter how this Taoist priest got the post, he couldn't afford to offend.
Master Tong is well versed in the truth that "a good man does not suffer immediate losses", and immediately decided to make amends in person.
I only heard Liu Banxian say: "Master Tong, this is also a misunderstanding." However, the disciples of your sect are indeed a little arrogant, and you should discipline them well in the future. ”
Master Tong nodded like pounded garlic: "Yes, yes, yes!" he slapped his face as he spoke. A few disciples of the Golden Dao Sect came in outside, carrying two large boxes, and put them in front of Liu Banxian with a bang. He smiled and said: "It's just a small courtesy, I hope that Master Liu will smile!"
Liu Banxian shook his head: "Master Tong, I'm not short of money." If you have the heart, take it and give to the poor. ”
Tong Gang's face changed. Things in the rivers and lakes are often like this, if someone accepts your money, it is agreed to your terms, and if it is confiscated, no matter how high-sounding he is, you will not be able to believe it. Most people are waiting for you to increase the price.
This is the conclusion reached by Tong Zhangmen for decades, and it has always been regarded as a guideline. He said ruthlessly: "Could it be that the head of Liu is suspicious of the courtesy?"
Liu Banxian smiled bitterly: "Your gift is heavy enough, but I am not short of money." Master Tong should take it back!"
Tong Gang nodded, whispered a few words in the ear of a disciple, and the disciple ran away. He himself stood with his hands down.
After a while, a voice outside the door asked, "Lao Jiu, is Lao Jiu here?"
Liu Banxian was taken aback: "Third brother?"
A slender Taoist priest came in from outside: "Lao Jiu, it's really you!"
Liu Banxian jumped up and hugged the shoulders of the comer: "Third brother, why are you here?"
This Taoist Dharma Mixed Yuanzi is the third disciple of the Kunlun Sect Yuzhu Zhenren, and Liu Banxian has been a senior brother for decades. Later, although Liu Banxian was expelled from the division, it was not caused by violating the door rules, so the relationship between their brothers and sisters was not affected in the slightest.
Mixed Yuanzi said: "I was sent to participate in the Heroes Conference on behalf of our Kunlun, but why did you come here?" Liu Banxian has left the Kunlun faction for some years, but his senior brothers still can't change their minds, and they still regard him as a Kunlun sect person.
Liu Banxian blushed and said, "Third brother, I won't tell you, I'm also here to attend the meeting." Not long ago, I got an invitation card in a daze, and I was about to ask you about it. ”
"Oh?" Mixed Yuanzi looked him up and down, and suddenly punched him in the shoulder: "You kid, you really started your own sect!"
Liu Banxian's face was full of panic: "My faction is very reluctant, third brother, don't make fun of me......" He suddenly remembered Li Yanlai, and beckoned: "Remnant, come and meet your third uncle!"
"Hello Sanbo!"
Mixed Yuanzi's gaze changed suddenly, and he stared at Li Yan tightly, amazed.
"Lao Jiu, your vision of accepting apprentices is really good. Mixed Yuanzi said with a little envy. "Brother Fool has always been good at the art of phase bones, and I can tell at a glance whether it is a material for practicing martial arts. You, a master disciple, have a strange skeleton and a tiger-backed ape body, not to mention one in a million, even the second one in the whole world. Brother, are you willing to let him go to the Jade Void Palace with me to learn swords, I guarantee that he will be able to run rampant after three years of practice!"
Liu Banxian smiled bitterly: "I originally had this intention, but ...... Senior brother, you are so excited, look at his left arm. ”
When Mixed Yuanzi saw Li Yan's empty sleeves, his regret was immediately overflowing, and he sighed repeatedly: "Heavenly jealousy genius, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
It is important to know that all those who practice martial arts must pay attention to the word "balance". This is also the foothold of all the moves in the world. Therefore, the loss of an arm is not only inconvenient for martial arts practitioners, but also destroys the delicate sense of balance. In the future, no matter how magical kung fu you practice, your power will be greatly reduced, let alone reaching the peak.
But this is limited to the martial arts of mortals, and what Li Yan practiced was the sword technique of immortals.
He secretly wondered: With such a high level of knowledge, why didn't he mention the method of "no knife outside the heart"? Isn't it because he thinks he is stupid and doesn't want to talk more?
In fact, at this time, he had already vaguely realized that his sword technique was extraordinary, and it was not even something that this third uncle could comprehend. However, this thought was too arrogant, and although it flashed in his mind, he was pressed down.
When the two brothers were catching up, someone next to them suddenly coughed lightly.
Mixed Yuanzi patted his head: "Hey, I forgot about him." After that, he invited the head of the Golden Knife Sect Tong over and said, "Ninth brother, today you sell your senior brother's face, don't embarrass the head of the Tong family, how about it?"
Liu Banxian said: "I said it was a misunderstanding, but this Uncle Tong didn't believe it, and he actually moved the third brother to you as a rescuer." It's really hard for me!"
Mixed Yuanzi nodded and said to Tong Gang: "Brother Tong, my junior brother won't trouble you, please go back." He doesn't need any of the gold, silver, and jewelry, so please take them with you. ”
Tong Gangru was amnestied, and after a few polite words, he slipped away in a hurry, and never came to Huating Mansion again.
The brothers had a long talk around the fireplace, telling about the swords and swords on the rivers and lakes in the snowy night. Li Yan listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
But they didn't know that a storm was brewing over Huating Mansion, and no one could stay out of it.
