Chapter 19: Washing Hands in the Golden Basin (1)
Lin Pingzhi walked to Mr. Mo's side, the two looked at each other, and then fell silent, and didn't say anything, what should be said had been discussed last night, and now just wait silently.
On the chairs next to him, there were a few people here at the moment, and close to Mr. Mo Da was an old Taoist with a red face and a beard like iron, with blazing eyes and sharp as electricity.
Then there is a middle-aged female nun, dressed in a gray monk's robe, who should be the Dingyi master of the Hengshan faction, and then a middle-aged scholar, with a face like a crown of jade, a black beard fluttering, and a smile on her face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
There is also a vacant seat in the middle, which is obviously reserved for the Songshan faction, Songshan is the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, so it should naturally be in the center to show his identity, but the people of the Songshan faction have not yet arrived.
In this area, all the people sitting in the Wuyue Sword Sect are in the same breath, and the Wuyue Sword Sect on the rivers and lakes is in the same breath, this time Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin, and these sects have all arrived.
Lin Pingzhi's observation was just a flash, his eyes were like lightning, silent, and unnoticed, but he was still faintly aware that when he arrived, there seemed to be a flash of light in Yue Buqun's eyes, and he didn't know what thoughts he had in his heart.
Lin Pingzhi had just gathered his thoughts and waited for the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference to begin, when the Tianmen Daoist next to him suddenly turned his head with a smile on his face.
"This is Lin Pingzhi, little brother Lin, thank you for saving the life of that child in Baicheng. Even Tian Boguang was killed by you, and sure enough, the hero came out of the boy. ”
Tianmen Daoist looked very kind, and his voice was slightly louder, Lin Ping's heart moved to understand the kindness of the head of the Taishan faction, obviously to promote his reputation, he killed Tian Boguang, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes has been established, but there are not many people who have seen it, such as today, the Daoist said it directly, with the identity of the head of his faction, it is much more solemn.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Lin Pingzhi felt that in the hall, a pair of eyes with different expressions fell on him.
Many people are still talking, and there are even those who understand the beginning and end of Hui Yanlou, spitting and talking to the people around them.
"The head of Tianmen Dao is too famous, and I am also at the right time, just a gesture. ”
Lin Pingzhi said calmly, without the grandeur of a young man at all, this kind of performance made the people of Tianmen Dao even more admired.
"Oh, you are Lin Pingzhi, yes, I also heard from Yilin, and I have inherited your favor from Hengshan. ”
Although Mrs. Dingyi had a hot temper, she had clear grievances and grudges, and she also nodded her head in thanks.
Even Yue Buqun cast his gaze at this time, not as secretive as just now.
Mr. Mo Da smiled slightly, knowing that Lin Pingzhi's identity had to be explained at this time.
"Hehe, junior brothers and sisters, Pingzhi has now entered my Hengshan faction and become a disciple of the old man, and today I am here to participate in his Uncle Liu's golden basin handwashing conference. ”
In this way, Mr. Mo Da is a little proud in his heart, although the master-apprentice relationship between him and Lin Pingzhi is more of an alliance of interests, but it is always a force belonging to the Hengshan faction, and with Lin Pingzhi's martial arts cultivation of killing Tian Boguang, it will definitely be able to make Hengshan's prestige a big shock.
"Oh, Little Brother Lin has already entered the Hengshan Sect, Senior Brother Mo, congratulations. ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Mo, congratulations!"
Tianmen Daoist and Master Dingyi were slightly stunned, and then reacted, congratulating again and again, with a smile on their faces.
The corners of Yue Buqun's eyes jumped slightly, almost undetectable, and finally he also congratulated him.
Lin Pingzhi took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and secretly laughed in his heart, especially Yue Buqun, who was the object of his key observation.
"Hehe, this Yue Da Boss is really a deep city, I'm afraid my heart is far from being as calm as his face, right?"
Lin Pingzhi guessed, and just as he expected, Yue Buqun was indeed a little caught off guard now.
"It's not good, how could this Lin Pingzhi join the Hengshan faction? It was so fast, and there was no rumor at all in advance, it should have happened in the past few days, what is the secret in this? Mr. Mo Da appeared at Senior Brother Liu's Golden Basin Hand Washing Conference today It was already unexpected, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing, it seems that my plan will also change a little. ”
Yue Buqun was spinning in his heart, he sent his second disciple and daughter to Fuzhou some time ago, it was because he got the news that the Qingcheng faction had invaded the Fuwei Dart Bureau on a large scale, so he thought of sending someone to find out the news, he also planned in advance for the purpose of warding off evil spirits, but he didn't expect that there were many forks in the middle, and even the Qingcheng faction returned with a feather, which was completely unexpected.
Now Lin Pingzhi is even more under the Hengshan faction, which makes his plan implemented, and it adds a few more variables, and his heart is secretly heavy.
No matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, he still had to make a congratulatory look, which was also embarrassing.
Mr. Mo Da and the others exchanged pleasantries for a moment.
It was almost noon, and a group of martial arts high-rollers came from afar, the deputy gang of the beggar gang advocated Jin Ao, the old boxer of Zhengzhou Liuhe Boxing Gate Xia Lao with three sons-in-law, the old man of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei Feng Tie, the leader of the Haisha Gang in the East China Sea Pan Roar, Qujiang Eryou Shendao Bai Ke, and the magic pen Lu Xisi and others came one after another. Some of these people knew each other well, and some of them were just admired and had never met each other, and for a while the hall greeted and introduced each other, and there was a lot of noise.
At this time, Liu Zhengfeng took his disciples, Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi and others walked out, respectfully inviting all the guests to sit at the table, and sometimes greeting constantly.
Only the people of the Wuyue Sect are half masters, sitting on the top seat, with different expressions and don't know what to think.
At this time, Lin Pingzhi was silent, just watching the changes on the field and quietly waiting for the opportunity.
He saw that whether it was Tianmen Dao people, Dingyi Shitai or Mr. Mo Da and others, they all looked majestic, and only some Jianghu bigwigs came to say hello a little, as for the ordinary Jianghu martial arts people, they respected their own identities, so it was inconvenient to talk.
And Yue Buqun is just the opposite, although this person's name is "Buqun", but he is very fond of making friends, many of the guests are unknown, and even not very famous, as long as they come forward to talk to him, Yue Buqun talks and laughs with them, and does not put on the shelf of the head of the Huashan faction, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and has a good feeling.
"It is worthy of being a person who can create a gentleman's sword name, and this kind of communication skill is extraordinary. ”
Lin Ping's heart was secretly admired, but if he was allowed to do such things by himself, he would never be able to do it.
Suddenly, there were two clangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts, indicating that the official government had come to the door.
The heroes present were slightly stunned, at this time, I saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand-new brocade robe, like a rich family member, a group of harmony, along the way and the group of heroes bowed their hands, and soon walked out of the door.
After a short time, he respectfully accompanied an official in official uniform.
Many martial artists in the hall were secretly strange, and they didn't understand what he was doing.
Some people thought that this official was also a martial arts master, but after a closer look, they saw that this person's eyes were dizzy, and his face was wine-colored, obviously not a martial arts person.
Now everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment the official walked proudly into the hall, stood in the center, and the official behind him knelt down with his right leg, and raised his hands above his head to present a tray covered with yellow segments, in which a scroll was placed. The official bowed down and took the scroll, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree!"
The faces of the heroes changed greatly, and they thought that something had changed, and for a while, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and there was a faint sound of swords unsheathed, which would turn into a big fight at any time.
Liu Zhengfeng's face remained unchanged, calm and composed, his knees bent, he knelt down, kowtowed to the official three times, and said loudly: "Liu Zhengfeng received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
As soon as this scene came out, it naturally surprised everyone.
Lin Pingzhi watched from the side, the thought in his heart moved, and he faintly had an idea.
"That's fine, Uncle Liu has become a member of the court from this moment on, with such an identity, plus the original plan, even if it is the Songshan faction, it can't make any waves. ”
With a plan in mind, he watched the development of events without saying a word.
The official unfolded the scroll and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: According to the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is anxious for justice and righteousness, and his merit is in Sangzi, and he is skilled in bows and horses.
Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again to thank him, walked down a set of procedures, and gave a generous gift, and soon the official left with many government service soldiers.
This matter is over, not to mention how surprised and surprised the group of ambitions is, Liu Zhengfeng is not very sorry for himself, and soon, Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table, which was covered with brocade, and Xiang Danian held a golden basin with a golden light and a diameter of half a foot in both hands, and placed it on the coffee table, which was already filled with water.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and walked off the field, making a gesture.
Only then did he say loudly: "All the senior heroes, all the good friends, everyone has come from afar, Liu Zhengfeng is really gold on his face, and he is grateful." Brother washed his hands of the golden basin today, and from now on he will not ask about the things in the rivers and lakes, and you know the reasons for it. The brother has received the grace of the imperial court to be a small official. As the saying goes: the food of the king, the matter of loyalty. The rivers and lakes pay attention to righteousness, and the state is official, but it is necessary to abide by the law in order to repay the king's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably be embarrassed, from now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts, if my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they can do their own thing, Liu invited you here, is to ask all good friends to be a witness. When you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be a good friend of Liu, but Liu will not ask about the rights and wrongs of all kinds of grievances in the martial arts. He said it again.
After Liu Zhengfeng finished explaining, he didn't care what others thought, turned around, and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was accepted by his teacher and taught martial arts, but he was very ashamed to fail to open the lintel of the Dahengshan faction. Fortunately, there is Senior Brother Mo in this door, Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre, there are not many people who are more Liu, and there are many people who are less Liu. From now on, Liu will wash his hands of gold and concentrate on eunuchs, but he will never use his master to pass on martial arts, in order to be promoted to the knighthood, as for the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, sectarian politics, Liu Zhengfeng will never ask. If it is contrary to the word, there is such a sword. ”
With his right hand, he pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, wrenched his hands, snapped, and broke the blade of the sword into two, he broke the long sword, and let the two broken swords fall down, snorting twice, and the broken sword was inserted into the green brick.
Lin Pingzhi watched from the side and sighed, "It's a pity that such a good sword was broken like this." "The broken sword just now, down from the hand, can be inserted into the green bricks, it is obviously a first-class weapon, so Lin Pingzhi is a pity, he is a sword practitioner, and he has an indescribable preference for swords.
Liu Zhengfeng ruined a good sword like this, which made him feel sorry for him.
At the same time, he was also amazed by Liu Zhengfeng's martial arts, this sharp sword, if you want to break it into two with both hands, it is not a simple thing, just this hand, it can be seen that Liu Zhengfeng's martial arts are already a first-class level in the rivers and lakes, and the kung fu of the eight veins of the Qi Jing may have been cultivated to an extremely high level, at least there is also the cultivation of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled at this time, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands and was about to put it in the golden basin, when he suddenly heard someone from the sect shouting: "Stop!"
I saw four men in yellow shirts walking into the gate, and as soon as these four people entered the door, they stood on both sides, and there was a very tall man in yellow shirts who walked straight in from the four of them.
Let's say Liu Zhengfeng, although he heard a loud shout, his expression still did not change, but his hands were like phantoms, he sped up, washed his palms in the golden basin, and took the towel handed over by the disciple next to him and wiped it gently.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing ceremony was completed.
As soon as the tall man in the yellow shirt walked in, he saw that Liu Zhengfeng had finished washing his hands, and his face was immediately blue.
He snorted angrily, and held a five-color pennant in his hand, which was decorated with pearls and gems, and it spread slightly, emitting a brilliant treasure.
The group in the hall was slightly surprised by their ambitions, the Wuyue Sword Sect has been famous for many years, and many people recognize this flag, and they said in their hearts: The order flag of the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect has arrived.
"Senior Uncle Liu, I came here on the order of the Alliance Master of the Wuyue Sword Sect, how can you listen and not listen!"
This person shouted loudly, his arm trembled slightly, obviously Liu Zhengfeng's actions just now really shocked him, and he didn't react for a while, Liu Zhengfeng had already finished washing his hands.
"The virtuous nephew is the virtuous nephew of Qianzhang Songshi, right?" Liu Zhengfeng said with a faint smile on his face, "My golden basin washing has ended, and I can't be regarded as a martial artist from now on, as for this Wuyue Order Flag, I'm afraid it can't be taken care of me, right?"
Liu Zhengfeng was prepared this time, naturally he would not be caught off guard by the people of the Songshan faction, although he had a smile on his face, but there was a coldness in the depths of his eyes, although he had already received the news from Lin Pingzhi that the Songshan faction would come to make trouble, but in the end there was still a hope, I didn't expect that he was really here at the Golden Basin Washing Conference, and the people from the Songshan faction were really here, and the one who came was not good, and even took out the Wuyue Order Flag, if he hesitated a little just now, I am afraid that he would have fallen behind now.
The person holding the order flag was the head disciple of the Songshan faction, Qianzhang Songshi Dengda, when he heard this, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Songshan sent this time to come, originally calculated well, that is, to appear at the most critical moment, so Liu Zhengfeng just asked the golden basin to wash his hands, he made a voice to block, but who knew that Liu Zhengfeng came to a deaf ear, regardless of completing the ceremony as quickly as possible, this time it disrupted their plan, and what Liu Zhengfeng said was not unreasonable, he had washed his hands at the moment, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he could not be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes, and the Wuyue Lingqi naturally had no way to order him.
"Uncle Liu said with a smile, the disciple came this time because he was ordered by the head of the sect to let Uncle Liu pause his hand washing!"
Although Shi Deng Da was caught off guard, he still said loudly, and the Wuyue Order Flag in his hand was even held high, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Hmph, are you Stenda? Don't you see that my Uncle Liu has finished washing his hands?
As soon as the word "retreat" was finished, a green shadow had flashed out, and a white jade palm gently landed on his chest before Stenda could react.
This palm came so quickly, before he finished speaking, the figure had arrived, and with a slight pressure of the palm, Stenda felt that his chest was like a big mountain coming down, breathing was difficult, his brain was buzzing, his eyes were dazzling, and with a bang, he had already risen into the air and fell out heavily.
This scene came too quickly, everyone present did not react, and when Stenda fell to the ground on all fours, and even the Wuyue Lingqi fell to the side, they all looked over in shock, only to see a young man in green clothes, already standing beside Liu Zhengfeng, this young man has a handsome face, skin is as clear as jade, his eyebrows are flying obliquely, his eyes are clear and deep, he is dressed in a blue brocade robe, simple and simple, and there is a long sword hanging from his waist, which is a good bearing.
The person who made the shot was naturally Lin Pingzhi.
His eyes were like cold lightning, and he fell on Stendhal's body with a bang.
Stenda's chest was tight and short of breath, and his face was red for a while, and it took a moment before he stood up tremblingly.
"Who are you, and how dare you attack me?"
Anger, incomparable anger, Shi Dengda's heart was furious, the palm just now can be regarded as making him lose face in front of the world's heroes, as the head disciple of the Songshan faction, when did he suffer such a big loss, while shouting loudly, he handed over the Wuyue Order Flag to a Songshan disciple next to him, and his body jumped, and he pounced again.
A palm slap horizontally, the palm power is fierce, enveloping half of Lin Pingzhi's body, this palm is really the big Songyang palm of the Songshan faction, practicing to the peak is really a great power, and it is also famous in the rivers and lakes, Shi Dengda's palm, although it came out suddenly, but the strength, angle, and tricks are subtle and mysterious, and the atmosphere contains small and delicate, showing his high attainments in this palm.
Lin Pingzhi's face was indifferent, he snorted lightly, and with a step forward, it seemed that he had changed all kinds of body techniques in a row, directly close to Stenda's body, and slapped it out with a palm, still slapping on Stenda's chest.
Soaring clouds and fog, the same action was shown again, Stendah's body flew out again, fell out heavily, fell to the ground fiercely, his face was pale, and he didn't get up for a long time, this time Lin Pingzhi had already used three or four percent of his strength, with his current cultivation, it was naturally not so easy to bear.
