Confused with Taoism

Chapter 9
Three days after Li Xuanxin came to Huashan, a major event happened in Jianghu. Hengshan sent Liu Zhengfeng to wash his hands in a golden basin, and invited heroes from all walks of life to witness it.

Of course the Huashan faction also received the invitation, and when Yue Buqun hesitated to go, Li Xuanxin made a decision first.

Yue Buqun was still hesitant at first, but when he heard that Li Xuanxin was going, he made a decision.

After that, Yue Buqun set off with Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan and Li Xuanxin.

A few days later, Hengshan City.
Today is the day when Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the gold basin. After learning that "Gentleman Sword" Yue Buqun has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng is both surprised and delighted. The famous "Gentleman Sword" Huashan Master in the martial arts actually arrived in person and hastily greeted him.Yue Buqun was very humble. After congratulating him with a smile on his face, he briefly introduced Li Xuanxin to Liu Zhengfeng and then walked into the door hand in hand with Liu Zhengfeng.

Later, when Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingyi, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others came, Liu Zhengfeng lowered his rank to greet them.

"Master Yue, I haven't seen you for many years, and I feel more and more healthy."

"Where, where, everyone is becoming more and more powerful."

In this kind of situation, everyone compliments each other, and who doesn’t say good things?There won’t be any missing pieces of meat.

Li Xuanxin looked at Yue Buqun who looked like a courtesan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed the "Gentleman's Sword" in the world!Don't talk about how you are, just say that the whole body is really beautiful.

Li Xuanxin didn't know any of these people, so he found a place to sit down and wait for the meeting to start.

During the waiting period, guests from all walks of life arrived in Liu's residence one after another, but at this time it was not Liu Zhengfeng who was receiving them personally. He had already returned to the inner hall, and other guests were received by his disciples.

Near noon, five or six hundred tourists from afar came pouring in like a stream.Advocate Jin Ao of the Beggar Gang, Zhengzhou Liuhemen Boxer Xia led three sons-in-law, Feng Tie Laolao, the Goddess of the Three Gorges in Sichuan and Hubei, Pan Hou, the head of the Donghai Haisha Gang, Qujiang's two friends, the magic knife Baike, the magic brush Lucis and others came one after another .Some of these people are familiar with each other, some just admire the name but have never met, and there was a lot of noise in the hall to greet and introduce them.

At this time, Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingyi were resting in the side rooms respectively and did not go to greet everyone. After all, among the guests today, some were quite famous in the world, but some were obviously low-ranking people. .At this time, with those people, wouldn't it be worth the name of the Five Sacred Sword Sect?
But these things are not a problem for Yue Buqun. Although Yue Buqun's name is "Buqun", he loves friends very much. Many of the guests are nameless or have a bad reputation. Just come and talk to him Like Yue Buqun, he talked and laughed with them, without any airs of being the leader of the Huashan School and superior to others.From this point of view, Lao Yue should be much stronger than Master Dingyi and the others.

"I didn't expect so many people to come, but it might be a good thing for me." Li Xuanxin thought while drinking tea.

Soon, the disciples of the Liu Mansion set up a banquet of about two hundred tables.

According to the status and prestige in the martial arts, Taoist Tianmen, the head of the Taishan School, should be the chief, but the Wuyue Sword Sect is an alliance. Half of Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, and Master Dingyi are the masters, so it is inconvenient to sit on the seat. The group gave in to each other, and no one was willing to be the chief.

At this time, Li Xuanxin and Linghu Chong Yue Lingshan were sitting at the same table.

After a while, Liu Zhengfeng came out from the inner hall in a long robe, but he was respectfully leading an official in official uniform.

This time, the martial arts people outside the arena were completely confused. After all, he had no intersection with the public, and if he did, he would have committed a crime and was wanted by the government.

"Is this official also a martial arts master? Or did Liu Zhengfeng commit something?" The heroes thought one after another.

However, Yue Buqun and others believed that Liu Zhengfeng lived in Hengshan City, so he would inevitably deal with officials and entertain local officials, which is understandable.

However, after Yue Buqun raised his head and glanced at Li Xuanxin, he felt that it was not that simple.

Here, the official walked straight in and stood in the middle. The Yamen servant behind him knelt on his right leg, raised his hands above his head, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin, with a scroll placed on the tray.The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng will listen to it."

After Liu Zhengfeng heard the imperial decree, he immediately knelt down to listen to the decree.

The guests, Yue Buqun and the others were also dumbfounded, isn't it just a golden basin to wash their hands!Why did the imperial decree of the emperor come.

Without giving them time to imagine, the official opened the imperial decree and began to read it.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. I hope, I admire this."

Liu Zhengfeng knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "My minister Liu Zhengfeng kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"I also invite Mr. Zhang to take your seat. Today is the day when I wash my hands in the golden basin. After today, I will withdraw from the disputes in the rivers and lakes and serve the court from now on."

"It would be great for General Liu Shen to think like this. In the future, we will all be officials in the same court, and we should visit more in the future! But I'm afraid it won't work today, and I have to rush to return!"

"Well, since this is the case, I won't keep Mr. Zhang, come here, bring me the gift I prepared for you." Liu Zhengfeng said to his disciple.

Then four people came up carrying a box, opened the box, and a faint golden light shone in the daytime.

As soon as the box was opened, gold ingots were neatly placed inside the box. Everyone present was shocked by Liu Zhengfeng's wealth.

And that Master Zhang stared at the box of gold ingots.

"A small gift is not a respect, so please be sure to accept it."

"Brother Liu! You are embarrassing me too much, brother? How can I accept this!" Mr. Zhang directly called Liu Zhengfeng brother, which shows that Liu Zhengfeng spent the right money this time.

"This is all the hard-earned money I gave to Brother Zhang from filial piety. You ran here and there for my brother. This is a little kindness from my brother. You must accept it." Seeing Master Zhang calling himself Brother Liu, Liu Zhengfeng felt a big stone in his heart. It fell down, and the money was not in vain.

In the end, Master Zhang still accepted Liu Zhengfeng's box of gold, and he drank three glasses of wine with Liu Zhengfeng contentedly and left.

At this time, all the guests in the Liu family have not yet come to their senses. The stimulation given to them today is too great, and they need to take it easy.

"Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng has now become an official of the imperial court. I don't know how much money he spent." The quacks who came back to their senses whispered among themselves.

"Did Liu Zhengfeng know anything? He chose to withdraw from the world and join the imperial court at this time. Could it be that Taoist Master Miaoxin ordered it? No wonder the Taoist Master would come to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony. Did he know about it early on?" Yue Buqun This matter was attributed to Li Xuanxin.

In fact, he really misunderstood Li Xuanxin. Li Xuanxin came mainly because he knew the plot.

Li Xuanxin watched the good show from the side, and continued to wait for the next good show.
