Chapter 35: Refinement of the Heart, First Seat (Large Chapter)
Qu Feiyan frowned and said, "Are you still afraid of masters?".
Zhuo Lingfeng said: "Of course I'm afraid!"
When he answered like this, Qu Feiyan had nothing to say.
But a pair of clear black eyes stared at Zhuo Lingfeng for a long time, then suddenly turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Then what do you think of Sister Liu?"
Liu Jing's face turned red and she said anxiously: "Fei Fei, you..."
Qu Feiyan waved his little hand and said: "Sister Liu, I heard last night that Shaoxia Zhuo of 'Zhongnan Yifeng' is an extraordinary hero, unparalleled in the world!
Just because you don't say something doesn't mean he can't guess it, not to mention that we are all children of the world, it's better to be honest than to hide it!"
Liu Jing felt ashamed and happy at the same time, thinking to herself: "I don't know if he has me in his heart!"
A pink face becomes even redder.
Zhuo Lingfeng is very carefree when he sees Qu Feiyan, but Liu Jing is gentle and quiet, and can be described as both martial and literary.
It's just a pity!
Looking at Qu Feiyan, he smiled and said: "You are right!
I did have some guesses as to what some of the things were.
But Liu Sanye wants to wash his hands in the golden basin. I am in the center of the whirlpool. Whether I can survive until tomorrow is not yet known!
I was really surprised that he did this, do you know the reason?"
Qu Feiyan chuckled and said, "You can't trouble me with this!"
As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and continued: "Grandpa Liu wants to wash his hands in a golden basin. He can no longer participate in political affairs, let alone fight with others.
Not to mention some enemies who do not abide by the rules of the world, he also has children and disciples.
After all, Grandpa Liu can only represent himself, seal his sword and retire into seclusion, ignoring the right and wrong in the world, but he does not mean to be unfeeling and unfeeling.
You are so young, your martial arts skills are high, and you dare to do things without losing your manliness. You are the best match in the world!
If for some reason you possess the Lin family's "Evil Sword Manual", but instead look forward and backward, worrying about gains and losses, how can you be like a hero in the world?
If Grandpa Liu was afraid of trouble and danger, how could he have been famous in the world for decades and achieved great fame?
His act of sealing the sword had so many heroes coming to celebrate him, and people thought that he and Mr. Mo Da, the leader of Hengshan, were at odds because of fame and fortune?
What kind of person is he? People in the world are always blind!
Under the guidance of my grandfather Liu's words and deeds, my sister Liu's family is certainly not comparable to some vulgar people from a humble background. How could she not understand this simple truth?
As long as I become a good friend of Qin and Jin with you, will I still be afraid of being implicated by you?
What's more, according to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, when a woman gets married, she obeys her husband, sharing weal and woe!
If you live, she will live, if you die, she will die, so there is no need to say more!"
As she spoke, she walked around and shook her head like an adult.
Even Zhuo Lingfeng knew that Qu Feiyan was sharp-minded and sharp-tongued. In the original trajectory, in front of the heroes of the world, he could force the leader of Yu Canghai's faction with just a few words, and there was no way he could get off the stage.
But after listening to these profound words, I felt that Qu Feiyan was only thirteen or fourteen years old and could not speak so comprehensively.
When Liu Zhengfeng was having a private conversation with Qu Yang, she listened to a few words and then narrated them in her own voice.
In view of this, Zhuo Lingfeng also understood why Qu Feiyan appeared here.
This is where I come to test myself.
If he was interested in Liu Jing and let it out, Liu Zhengfeng would be able to talk to him after the meeting.
Similarly, if you don't mean to do it, you can stop it without damaging the dignity of both parties.
After all, this is what Qu Feiyan said as a child, how can he take it seriously?
When Zhuo Lingfeng saw Liu Zhengfeng acting so thoughtfully, he secretly praised: "Liu Zhengfeng is indeed a great person with such a prestigious reputation!"
Carefully recalling that before he washed his hands in the golden basin, he accepted a series of measures such as being canonized by the imperial court, which were all correct. He only underestimated the shamelessness and viciousness of the Songshan sect, which caused his family to suffer!
He was thinking to himself.
Liu Jing lowered her pink neck, lightly brushed her temples, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhuo Lingfeng, saying: "Please take a sip of tea first."
Qu Feiyan rolled his eyes: "Sister Liu, you can't spoil him like this!"
Only then did Zhuo Lingfeng come back to his senses and said with a smile: "I don't know how to drink tea, and I can't taste it!"
Qu Feiyan glared and said, "Are you afraid that we will poison you?"
As he spoke, he snatched the tea cup from Liu Jing's hand and poured it into his mouth in one breath.
But this was freshly brewed tea, and she drank it so hard that it made her jump up and wave her little hands to fan her mouth frantically.
Seeing her cuteness, Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said, "How does it taste?"
Although Qu Feiyan was burned, he said: "The tea made by Sister Liu naturally tastes great! Are you envious?"
Liu Jing was also amused by Qu Feiyan and laughed for a while, then poured tea into another cup, handed it to Zhuo Lingfeng, and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhuo, you can try it too."
With Zhuo Lingfeng's martial arts, no part of the tea making process escaped his eyes and ears, but out of caution, he still didn't drink it directly. But he drank all the cigarettes and cigarettes. If he didn't drink anymore, it would be a bit unkind.
.
He took it and took a sip. His mouth was full of fragrance and his tongue was filled with saliva. He praised: "It is indeed a good tea!"
Qu Feiyan hummed: "Just tea, okay?"
Zhuo Lingfeng sighed and said: "I'm naturally getting better! The Liu family's sister has a pretty face and a beautiful heart. She is truly a good match in this world. Zhuo Lingfeng feels so honored!"
However, I was born in Quanzhen and studied Taoism since childhood. Although I do not abstain from eating meat and vegetables, the love between men and women is the great precept of our sect. No matter how arrogant Zhuo Lingfeng is, I really dare not break it!"
Zhuo Lingfeng has never become a monk, but he has never thought about starting a family.
He was a kind person at heart, so he felt that this reason was the least harmful, so he could only tell white lies.
Qu Feiyan sneered: "Big quit?
Humph, then Yue Lingshan may not be better than my sister from the Liu family, I’m afraid the reputation of Master Yue of ‘Jun Zijian’ is greater than that of my Grandpa Liu, right?”
After Liu Jing heard Zhuo Lingfeng's words, she could not help but show disappointment on her face, but she was a lady from a well-known family, so she forced a smile and said: "No, don't talk nonsense!
What Zhuo Shaoxia said is so, then it must be so!
How can you judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
Qu Feiyan said: "I am young, but I am a woman, so I don't care about this!
Besides, last night Yue Buqun asked Grandpa Liu where he lived, and even said that he wanted his daughter to apologize. No one can tell what he was thinking!"
Zhuo Lingfeng didn't care at all about Qu Feiyan's accusations and speculations, and just smiled.
He now understands that he wants to treat love like a cloud.
You must first experience "passing among thousands of flowers" and then achieve "not even a leaf touches you". That is your ability.
If there are no flowers at all, how can the leaves touch them?
Qu Feiyan's accusation and Liu Jing's loss also made him realize the true meaning of the phrase that Master often said: "The world of mortals is the place where the heart is refined"!
If you want to temper your heart, hardening your heart is just the first step!
Having said that, the three of them just enjoyed tea.
No matter how eloquent Qu Feiyan is, he will not continue this topic without words, which will make Liu Jing seem to be unwanted.
Zhuo Lingfeng also felt uncomfortable at the beginning and slowly became immersed in the taste of tea.
I don't know how much time passed, but a maid came in through the curtain and said, "Miss, Young Master Zhuo, please come over."
Liu Jing nodded slightly, picked up Qu Feiyan, and said, "Young Master Zhuo, the time is coming, let's go."
Zhuo Lingfeng shook his head and said, "You guys go first and I'll go after drinking these few sips of tea!"
Liu Jing knew in her heart that he didn't want to go with her, and she couldn't help but feel sad. She could only smile and said: "That's good."
Qu Feiyan glanced at Zhuo Lingfeng and hummed: "Aren't you just good at martial arts? What's so great about it!"
He grabbed Liu Jing and left the house.
Liu Jing only had time to look back and then disappeared behind the door curtain.
Zhuo Lingfeng felt quite sad.
With just one look at Liu Jing, Zhuo Lingfeng understood that although he didn't mean to hurt anyone, he still hurt people's hearts.
But it has to be done!
He didn't want to leave any hope for Liu Jing or give her any illusions!
Another one is that Zhuo Lingfeng knew it well.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between him and Jianghu sects!
He is alone and not as numerous as the martial arts sects. If he is allowed to fight with one person against many, he will definitely not be an enemy!
But precisely because he has nothing to worry about, even though the Jianghu sect has a large number of people, they dare not offend him to death!
Because with his martial arts, there may be someone in the world who can defeat him, but if anyone wants to keep him, it is absolutely impossible!
If you can't kill a group of people in one wave, you can divide them into two or three waves. Who dares to offend him?
A Mu Gaofeng and Tian Boguang can roam freely in the world, not to mention their own martial arts skills that are better than theirs!
But if there is someone you care about, then all your advantages will cease to exist, and you can no longer be aloof from others!
In the original trajectory, Dongfang Bubai, the best player in the world, was under siege. How did he die?
That is a bloody lesson!
Knowing that there is a trap but still stepping into it is not Zhuo Lingfeng's style!
Zhuo Lingfeng drank all the tea in the cup, picked up the sword and went to the front yard.
…
On this day, many more people came to congratulate Liu Zhengfeng, totaling five to six hundred people, and the crowd was noisy for a while.
Liu Zhengfeng was a wealthy man in Hengshan City. He was very wealthy and powerful. He opened more than two hundred tables not only in the hall, back hall, flower hall, and courtyard, but also inside and outside.
The tables, chairs, and banquet were so luxurious that even Zhuo Lingfeng, a man of two generations, who spoke of foreignness rather than foreignness, and earthliness rather than locality, was stunned by it!
He has indeed never seen such a scene in this life.
But in his previous life, he had seen weddings and weddings in cities and rural areas.
Rural areas are generally much more crowded and lively than cities, but the scale cannot be compared to the Liu Mansion today!
Zhuo Lingfeng walked leisurely among the guests. From the conversation among the guests, he learned that there were some famous people and others of different kinds. It could be said that there was a mixture of dragons and snakes!
Suddenly, two bangs of gunshots were heard outside the door, followed by the loud sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts, indicating that some official had come outside the door.
The heroes were startled when they saw Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly running out of the inner hall wearing a brand new Luo robe. The heroes congratulated him happily, but Liu Zhengfeng only cupped his hands and walked out the door.
After a while, I saw him coming in respectfully accompanied by an official in public uniform.
Anyone with a little knowledge knows that Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City. He usually has to make friends with the government. Today is a good day for him. It is not surprising that local officials come to deal with it.
But the official walked in boldly and stood in the middle. The government 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 hearing this, many people in the world were shocked and stood up suddenly. Some of the weak ones also took their weapons in their hands.
As long as the bottom line is not involved, Gein Jianghu and the imperial court have always been clear-cut and do not interfere with each other!
The bottom line of the imperial court is that no one in the world will seek rebellion!
The imperial court paid no attention to the vendetta between them!
Everyone knew that Liu Zhengfeng's decision to seal his sword and return to seclusion had nothing to do with the imperial court, but officials came to announce the decree.
He immediately thought that Liu Zhengfeng was planning to commit rebellion and was discovered by the imperial court.
This was a serious crime of beheading and confiscating the nine clansmen. They all thought that the Liu Mansion must have been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and a big fight was inevitable. Since they were friends with Liu Zhengfeng, they had no reason to stand up.
Let’s talk about treason, all nine tribes are guilty!
Since I came to the Liu Mansion to attend the meeting, I am a rebel against the party. It is impossible to stay out of it!
Just waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to change his expression and greet him, everyone immediately used their swords to chop the official into pieces!
Everyone thought of all possibilities, but they did not expect that this official was here to canonize Liu Zhengfeng.
Under a set of procedures for delivering and receiving orders, the dignified Mr. Liu Sanye of the Hengshan faction transformed in front of everyone and became a general in the imperial court!
Liu Zhengfeng also openly bribed the person who delivered the order in front of everyone. His expression of gratitude made everyone feel sick!
Although the guests who came to the Liu Mansion were not members of the underworld or rebels, they were all well-known in the martial arts world. They were all people who thought highly of themselves and never looked down upon the government.
I even saw Liu Zhengfeng openly offering bribes, and I looked down upon him in my heart. I felt embarrassed, surprised, and contemptuous at the same time!
Liu Zhengfeng nodded and bowed his head and sent Mr. Zhang directly to the gate. He heard the sound of gongs and shouts, and the Liu family sent him a gift and a cannon.
When Liu Zhengfeng entered the door, he turned a blind eye to the various expressions on the faces of the heroes. He still walked to the middle of the courtyard with a happy face.
He saw Zhuo Lingfeng standing aside with a black sword in his arms. He quickly came up to him, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhuo, did you have a good rest last night?".
Zhuo Lingfeng nodded and said: "Very good!"
"That's fine, please!"
The two entered the hall side by side.
Zhuo Lingfeng looked up and saw that no one was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle.
Master Tianmen sat on the left side of the Grand Master's chair, and Master Dingyi sat next to him. When they saw Zhuo Lingfeng, they nodded slightly.
Zhuo Lingfeng nodded in return.
Sitting on the right side of the Grand Master's chair is a scholar in a green shirt, shaking a folding fan gently with his right hand, looking cool and unrestrained.
Zhuo Lingfeng naturally recognized this scholar, who had five long beards under his chin, a face like a crown of jade, and an upright look.
Ten years have passed, but he has not changed much. His internal strength is truly remarkable.
Yue Lingshan stood behind him, with a serious face, but did not even look at Zhuo Lingfeng.
But her true appearance today, no matter how solemn her face is, is an extremely beautiful sight among the Huashan disciples.
To be more precise, wherever she is, she attracts attention. Even if the men, women, and children standing around all have solemn expressions, she is still the most conspicuous!
At this time, Liu Zhengfeng invited the scholar and introduced him: "Young Master Zhuo, this is Mr. Yue, the leader of the Huashan School, the 'Junzi Sword'. Please get to know him quickly!"
Liu Zhengfeng knew very well that based on his reputation, someone who was not worthy of being at the head level would come here in person.
Therefore, the leaders of Songshan Mountain and Beiyue Hengshan Mountain came here.
Taoist Tianmen, the leader of Taishan, has a bad temper, but he is a warm-hearted person on the ancient path, so he came!
It can be said that Yue Buqun is honored to be here now!
When he was proud, his small smiling eyes almost narrowed into two thin slits.
Zhuo Lingfeng thought to himself: "If he hadn't gone to Fujian to find time, how could he have come to congratulate you? You really are overthinking it."
I also thought that Yu Canghai in the original trajectory also stopped by because he went to Fujian.
Otherwise, no big shot at the level of a martial arts leader would be present at his hand-washing conference!
It’s indeed shabby!
This is why the strength is not outstanding enough!
While Zhuo Lingfeng was thinking about it, Yue Buqun stood up, held his fan and cupped his fists, and said with a smile: "Back in Huashan, I felt that Young Master Zhuo would become a great person in the future.
Sure enough, when we meet again, our reputation has already spread throughout the world, which is amazing!"
He looked humble and did not mention Zhuo Lingfeng's appointment with him, showing his gentlemanly demeanor.
Many young people who have only heard of his name but never seen him feel a sense of admiration!
It's not surprising that Zhuo Lingfeng felt the same way when he first met him in the past.
He then returned the salute with his sword and fists, saying: "Mr. Yue is as refreshed and energetic as he was back then. That's what's truly remarkable!
But I still need to make progress, and whatever reputation is resounding throughout the world is purely due to the love of my friends in the world!"
Both of them are smart people, so they understand each other tacitly and don't behave differently at all.
It's as if they really only met once in Huashan.
But today, many new people have arrived, and they have never seen the "Zhongnan Yifeng" that is in full swing.
When I saw it at this time, it turned out that the weapon was really majestic. After talking with Jun Zijian, the leader of Huashan, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his magnanimity showed the prototype of a top master!
The elders all nodded in secret praise.
But the younger generation hated Zhuo Lingfeng with all their teeth and thought: "What the hell, if I were born in Zhongnan Mountain, wouldn't I be ten times better than you?
Is it your turn to talk to Jun Zijian?
That’s all, but he was so brazen about saying that the girl from the Yue family is ugly, her eyes really go up to her buttocks!”
But on the surface, they are very humble, for fear of being seen as disobedient and causing trouble!
After all, with his current strength, he should not be able to defeat the leader of Qingcheng!
Let Zhuo Lingfeng be proud for a few days!
Thinking about it, he glanced at Yue Lingshan who was behind Yue Buqun.
Today, the Liu Mansion has several new martial arts celebrities, such as Beggar Clan deputy gang leader Jin Ao, Zhengzhou Liuhe Men Xia old boxer, Sichuan-Hubei Three Gorges Goddess Feng Tie Grandma and others. Liu Zhengfeng is busy introducing them one by one to Zhuo Lingfeng.
A few pleasantries are inevitable.
The people Zhuo Lingfeng is now friends with are all famous martial arts figures in the world. Talents from the younger generation are not qualified to carry his shoes.
How could I know that last night I just said that Yue Lingshan was ugly, but as soon as she showed her true face today, I had almost become the public enemy of the young generation in the martial arts world.
Liu Zhengfeng's face was full of joy. He walked up to the top and said loudly: "Senior heroes, good friends, and young friends. You all came from afar to attend Liu's golden basin hand-washing conference. Liu Zhengfeng is really grateful.
Endless.
But today, the first one has always been vacant, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. Mr. Liu was greedy and felt very sorry for it!
I hope you won’t laugh!”
All the heroes in the hall had already noticed that no one was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle, and it had always been vacant.
According to the status and prestige in the martial arts world, as well as the age of the class, Tianmen Taoist, the head of the Taishan Sect, should be the chief.
It's just that the Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance, and half of them, including Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi, etc., were the masters, so it was inconvenient for them to sit on the throne.
For example, the deputy gang leader Jin Ao of the Beggar Clan, the old boxer Xia of Zhengzhou Liuhemen, Grandma Tie from the Three Gorges Goddess Peak in Sichuan and Hubei, and many other famous seniors, although they feel that their age and seniority are enough, their reputation is not as great as that of Tianmen Taoist, Yue Buqun and others.
Even more so, everyone is giving in, and no one is willing to take the lead.
Liu Zhengfeng then continued: "In view of the fact that Taoist Brother Tianmen of Taishan Sect, Senior Brother Yue of Huashan Sect, and Deputy Gang Leader Zhang of the Beggar Clan are all pushing back and forth, I have in mind that there is someone who is worthy of being on the throne!
You won’t blame me for saying this too bluntly, right?”
Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this, and they all thought: "Aside from Shaolin Master Fang Zheng, Wudang Chongxu Taoist Master, and Songshan Sect Zuo Alliance Leader, who are here in person, is there anyone else who deserves to be on the throne here?"
So someone asked loudly: "I wonder who this great hero Liu Sanye is talking about?".
Liu Zhengfeng laughed loudly and said: "Before I invite this hero to come out, I must first ask you to change the word 'big'."
The man suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh, I understand! Mr. Liu San, could it be that you are talking about..."
Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said: "Not bad!
I am talking about a little hero who is far away but right in front of you!".
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zhuo Lingfeng and said, "This Young Master Zhuo, don't underestimate his young age, but his martial arts skills are superior to those of others.
Let me state in advance that I only met Zhuo Shaoxia yesterday, purely because I admire him for single-handedly resolving the grievances between the Qingcheng faction and the Fuwei Escort Agency, which have been entangled for generations, and saved many innocent lives!
This cannot be said to be unkind!
As for saying that he coveted the Lin family's "Evil Sword Manual", it is sheer nonsense!
Yesterday, he used his magical sword skills to kill the unfaithful Mu Gaofeng at Liu's mansion!
The swordsmanship is so pure that it takes at least ten years of hard work. The incident between him and the Qingcheng Sect and the Fuwei Escort was only more than half a month ago. What kind of evil-repelling swordsmanship is An Neng!
Regarding this argument, Brother Tianmen and Senior Sister Dingyi are both masters of swordsmanship, and they have their own judgment in their hearts!"
Tianmen Taoist and Master Dingyi couldn't help but nodded. Although they could not recognize Zhuo Lingfeng's swordsmanship, that kind of skill was definitely not something that a beginner could possess!
And since Zhuo Lingfeng has already mastered such sword skills and has the "Toad Kung Fu" at his side, how can he covet the Lin family's "Evil Sword Manual"?
Liu Zhengfeng said again: "When we, martial arts practitioners, encounter injustice, we draw our swords and stand up. This is the right thing to do!"
Such a benevolent and righteous young hero makes people dare not to admire him, so Liu worked hard to put him in the first place!"
Thanks to book friends who finally have time for the tip!
