Chapter 80 Shaolin and Wudang attend the banquet
Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.

It was on July 15th.

Just two days later.

Chu Yuan and his companions stayed at the Hengshan Branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency for two days.

During these two days, perhaps because Chu Yuan taught the big escort leader Huang Jue a martial art, Huang Jue really treated Chu Yuan as his master.

Under Huang Jue's instructions, the Hengshan branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency took excellent care of Chu Yuan and the others.

Even the ordinary disciples of Qingcheng Sect benefited greatly from it.

And Lin Pingzhi's identity as the young master of the escort agency seems to be less useful than Chu Yuan here.

As for the big escort leader, he gave away emerald jade crane and red ruby ​​coral.

Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai confiscated them.

Yu Canghai was not interested.

Chu Yuan felt that he was not short of money and did not need any money.

The silver and money we seized from killing bandits in Qinling Mountains have not been used up yet!
Seeing that Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai refused to accept it, Huang Jue gave it to Qu Feiyan and Lin Pingzhi, saying that Qu Feiyan was his senior sister and that a gift should be given when they met for the first time.

Although Lin Pingzhi is the young master of the Fuwei Escort Agency, he is also his senior brother and should send a gift.

Seeing that their master had no objection, Qu Feiyan and Lin Pingzhi were cornered and had no choice but to accept the items.

On the fifteenth day of July, Chu Yuan and his friends got up early.

The weather is not very good today, and it is drizzling.

The entire Hengshan City was shrouded in a light rain and mist.

"Master, Mr. Liu's mansion is just south of Hengshan City. I can't have any relationship with a person like Mr. Liu, so I won't go there and cause others to despise me. You can go by yourselves."

Huang Jue personally escorted Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect members out of the gate of the Fuwei Escort Agency branch, and then said to Chu Yuan respectfully.

"Thank you for your hospitality these days."

Chu Yuan said.

Chu Yuan had corrected it many times, but seeing that Huang Jue still insisted, Chu Yuan was too lazy to dwell on it anymore.

"Don't say that. Master's kindness in teaching me the skills is as great as the mountains and seas. It can change my life. Hospitality is nothing."

Huang Jue said.

After saying goodbye to Yu Canghai, Lin Pingzhi, Qu Feiyan, Hou Renying, Hong Renxiong, Yu Renhao, Luo Renjie and others from the Qingcheng Sect one by one, Huang Jue turned around and returned to the escort agency.

Chu Yuan and his companions also left the Hengshan branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency in the rain.

Ordinary Qingcheng Sect disciples will temporarily stay in the Fuwei Escort Agency in case of emergency.

If nothing happens, wait for them to go back to the mountain together after the banquet.

This time they brought many ordinary sect disciples with them, more than a hundred in number.

However, the decision was made after Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan discussed it, mainly to avoid trouble.

The Qingcheng Sect is now in its heyday. In addition to the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan, Shaolin and Wudang may also take action against the Qingcheng Sect.

Although they are skilled and brave, their martial arts skills are not weak.

But since we have enough manpower and can use disciples against disciples, why should we use the few against the many?

By the way, you can also take this opportunity to train these disciples.

The rain was not heavy and people were not afraid of getting wet.

Just like that, without any obstruction, he rushed to Liu's mansion.

"Master, I was so scared. I thought you really accepted a disciple who is older than you!"

Qu Feiyan walked up to Chu Yuan at some point and said to him.

"Why, is it bad for someone to call you Senior Sister?"

Chu Yuan asked Qu Feiyan.

"But he is too old, even older than you, Master. I really don't know how he has the nerve to call me Senior Sister."

Qu Feiyan recalled the past few days, and the situation when the other party called her senior sister when she said goodbye just now. Her expression was as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

The other person was older than her father, and not much older than her grandfather, but she called her senior sister.

"Besides, this guy is so good at dealing with people. We have been here for two days, and he has become familiar with all the people in our Qingcheng Sect who have a say."

Qu Feiyandao.

"For someone like him who is not good at martial arts and makes a living in the underworld, of course he has to be tactful in doing things..."

Chu Yuan smiled and said.

This is the sorrow of those little people in the martial arts world.

The Fuwei Escort Agency had long since declined. Even the chief escort Lin Zhennan was not an expert, let alone the escort chiefs of all the branch agencies.

In the original plot, the Qingcheng Sect, a second-rate sect, was able to destroy the Fuwei Escort Agency.

The current Qingcheng Sect needs to curry favor with these escort leaders, both big and small.

The arrival of their Qingcheng Sect and the book "Qingmu Tiejia Gong" that he gave to Huang Jue was indeed an opportunity to change his destiny.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t consider people’s character and just give them martial arts randomly.

Although he didn't think much of the book "Aoki Tiejia Kung Fu".

But if it is thrown into the martial arts world, it can still cause many people to be beaten to a bloody mess.

Later, he went to Lin Pingzhi to find out more. According to Lin Pingzhi, Huang Jue was generally a good person among the many escort leaders of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Although he is a smooth talker, he knows his bottom line and has basically never done anything bad.

……

During a conversation with his apprentice Qu Feiyan.

They walked through three long streets and arrived at Liu Mansion in the south of the city.

Today is the day that Liu Zhengfeng retires from the underworld.

A red silk cloth was drawn at the entrance of Liu's house, and four large lanterns were lit at the door, making it look as if the house was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

More than ten people holding torches, some holding umbrellas, were standing at the door, busy welcoming guests.

There were two servants arranged by their master, wearing gray clothes and with their hair tied into buns with cloth ribbons, standing in the rain and running around to welcome the guests who came to attend the ceremony of washing their hands from the golden basin.

In addition to Chu Yuan and his party, there were also guests gathering from both ends of the street and entering Liu's Mansion.

"So you are the hero of Qingcheng Sect, please come in quickly."

Upon hearing that Chu Yuan and his group were from the Qingcheng Sect, the two servants' expressions immediately changed and they directed everyone inside.

Their master had specifically told them that the Qingcheng Sect was a distinguished guest second only to the Shaolin and Wudang sects.

It would be fine if Qingcheng Sect didn't send anyone, but if someone came, we must treat them well and never neglect them.

After a conversation, Chu Yuan found out that the two men were named Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi.

"I wonder which sects have come to the Liu Mansion now?"

Chu Yuan asked the two of them.

"There are so many sects coming from there!"

"The nun Dingxian from Hengshan Sect has just arrived, and Taoist Tianmen from Taishan Sect has been here for a while..."

Xiang Da Nian and Mi Wei Yi Dao
After entering Liujiazhuang, Chu Yuan discovered that Liujiazhuang was huge.

It covers an area of ​​five or six acres, with houses connected to each other and corridors connecting the courtyards, which can be said to be a large family with a large fortune.

Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi brought the Qingcheng Sect members to a hall.

All I could hear was a lot of noise inside. More than 200 people were sitting in different places, chatting and laughing.

The two arranged an empty table at the front for Chu Yuan, Yu Canghai and other members of the Qingcheng Sect. After asking them to sit down, they left to greet other people.

Not long after the group sat down, a servant came to serve them tea, noodles and hot towels.

Chu Yuan and the others didn't say anything either. After wiping their hands with a hot towel, they quietly drank tea and ate noodles, acting like quiet little invisibles.

Chu Yuan also took the opportunity to observe who had come into the hall.

After some observation, he found that people from the Hengshan Sect and the Huashan Sect had arrived and were sitting not far from them.

But I didn’t see anyone from the Songshan School!

I didn't see the leaders of the various sects, only some disciples of their sects.

The arrival of the Qingcheng Sect also caused many people in the hall to secretly watch them.

"The group that just came seems to be from the Qingcheng Sect!"

"It is indeed someone from the Qingcheng Sect!"

"The head of Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, and the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, these two masters are here."

"It looks like there will be something exciting to watch this time."

"It is said that the Hengshan Sect originally had a grudge against the Qingcheng Sword Immortal. Eight years ago, in the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou City, the head of the Hengshan Sect, Mr. Mo Da, was defeated by the Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

"This Third Master Liu even invited the Qingcheng Sect, I don't know what he means!"

A group of heroes from the martial arts world who came to congratulate were talking about it in various places in the hall.

Their voices were small and they kept them low.

But to Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai, who had profound internal strength, it was no different from speaking directly into their ears.

Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai didn't mind other people's comments.

Anyway, with the current reputation of the Qingcheng Sect, it will be the focus of attention wherever it goes.

"Master Yu, Qingcheng Sword Immortal, our master invites you to the backyard!"

Just then, a servant came out and leaned over to whisper in Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan's ears.

Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan exchanged glances and stood up. Chu Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and said to Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan, "You two stay in the front yard and don't run around. My brother and I will go see Master Liu and come back."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Uncle, Master, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

When Qu Feiyan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

With Lin Pingzhi's intelligence, it would be good if he didn't let her take care of him. Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai stood up and followed the servant through a corridor to a courtyard.

There were flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, and eight armchairs were placed at the top, as if they were prepared for the leaders of the major sects. A red-faced Taoist sat on one of the chairs, who seemed to be the Tianmen Taoist priest of the Taishan Sect.

There were another twenty armchairs placed nearby, which looked like they were prepared for famous seniors in the martial arts world.

There were some people sitting in twos and threes, but most of them were strangers.

A man who looked slightly younger than Senior Brother Yu Canghai, short and fat, wearing a brown silk robe, and looked like a rich man, was standing in the corner of the courtyard.

Chu Yuan vaguely recognized that this was Liu Zhengfeng who sat at the same table with him twenty-one years ago.

"Master Yu! Qingcheng Sword Immortal! I didn't expect that I could invite the two of you to my retirement ceremony."

Liu Zhengfeng clasped his fists and saluted Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai one by one.

Now, the identities of these two people are both extraordinary. One of them is the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, a major martial arts sect that has the potential to be on par with Shaolin and Wudang.

One is the world-famous Qingcheng Sword Immortal, who defeated all the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sects with just his sword eight years ago.

"Master Liu, we have known each other for more than twenty years. Since you are going to retire, I will come."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Qingcheng Sect and Hengshan Sect are old acquaintances."

Yu Canghai also said.

"In any case, thank you both for coming to Liu's retirement ceremony. There will be many guests later. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, please forgive me."

Liu Zhengfeng said.

Seeing Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai coming, he felt relieved.

He recently heard that Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, came out of seclusion for the first time after six years of seclusion after recovering from his internal injuries, and seemed to be intending to merge the Five Mountains Sects.

As an elder of the Hengshan Sect, his decision to retire at this time was somewhat like going against Zuo Lengchan.

And only he himself knows why he wants to retire.

Given the grudges and conflicts between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, once this matter is made public, he will be hunted down by the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and even his senior brother Mo Da will not be able to help him.

But with Yu Canghai and Qingcheng Sword Immortal from Qingcheng Sect here, it's like having a magic needle to stabilize the sea. Zuo Lengchan and Songshan Sect wouldn't dare to do anything.

Compared with this Qingcheng Sword Immortal, he dares to be on friendly terms with the Demon Cult leader Dongfang Bubai.

He and the elder of the Demon Cult became close friends, which was really a small matter compared to the big one.

Chu Yuan said: "Master Liu, just focus on your own business."

Yu Canghai said: "Don't worry about us."

"By the way, Mr. Liu, there are so many seats there, who else wants to come?"

Chu Yuan looked towards the courtyard, and at the eight armchairs at the top.

Logically speaking, there are only so many major sects here, and these positions are obviously reserved for the leaders of the major sects.

But the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Qingcheng Sect should not need so many seats.

"Master Chu, you may not know that the two extra chairs are reserved for Shaolin and Wudang..."

Seeing Chu Yuan asking about the chair, Liu Zhengfeng lowered his voice.

"Prepared for Shaolin and Wudang?"

Chu Yuan said in surprise.

"Yes, although Liu invited Shaolin and Wudang at the beginning, he never thought that they would agree to attend the banquet. After all, Liu is just an elder of Hengshan Sect. Later, Shaolin and Wudang both replied and said that they would come to participate in this retreat meeting."

Liu Zhengfeng explained.

"Okay, we got it. Go ahead, Mr. Liu."

Chu Yuan said.

After Liu Zhengfeng left, Chu Yuan turned his gaze to his senior brother Yu Canghai.

"Junior brother, do you think that Shaolin and Wudang are here with bad intentions this time and are targeting us at Qingcheng?"

Yu Canghai understood what Chu Yuan meant, and he asked Chu Yuan.

"should be."

Chu Yuan thought about it and said uncertainly.

He didn't remember whether Shaolin and Wudang participated in Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony in the original plot.

However, he was 90% sure that Wudang and Shaolin were sent for him and Qingcheng.

Otherwise, a mere Liu Zhengfeng would not be worthy of the appearance of these two leading figures in the martial arts world.

"Never mind him. With the current strength of our Qingcheng Sect, we don't have to be afraid of Wudang or Shaolin!"

Yu Canghai was not afraid at all and spoke with full confidence.

With the improvement of his own martial arts and the strength of Qingcheng Sect, and with the help of his junior brother Chu Yuan who is just as strong as him, his confidence is extremely strong.

If Wudang and Shaolin want to deal with Qingcheng Sect, they will have to fight to know who will win.

"Right."

Chu Yuan smiled.

"Everyone, please make way..."

Just then, several men in black came in hurriedly from outside, using door panels to carry an old Taoist priest who was seriously injured and had blood on his clothes on the chest, and put him on the ground.

Following them in was an elderly nun who was wearing monk's robes and had a kind face but a hint of fierceness.

It was Master Ding Xian, the head of Hengshan Sect.

When the head of Taishan Sect, Taoist Tianmen, saw the person lying on the wooden board, his face suddenly changed.

"Tiansong, what happened? Who hurt you like this?"

Taoist Tianmen immediately stood up and said with a grim look on his face.

"It's Linghu Chong! He kidnapped Junior Sister Yi Lin from the Hengshan Sect in Huiyan Tower, and he's also on good terms with the flower-stealing thief Tian Boguang..."

Taoist Tiansong, who was lying on the door panel, looked pale and weak.

Chu Yuan was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

He didn't expect that Linghu Chong's chance to be a hero and save the beauty was snatched away by his own apprentice and nephew, and he even had a relationship with the little nun Yi Lin.

As for why Linghu Chong did not have the opportunity to save the little nun Yi Lin before, but was instead met by his apprentice and nephew.

This is easy to understand.

After all, the Lin family of the Fuwei Escort Agency had presented the "Bixie Sword Manual" to him a long time ago, and he also played a good guy and gave the "Bixie Sword Manual" to Yue Buqun.

Naturally, there was no need for Yue Buqun to send his eldest disciple Linghu Chong and his daughter Yue Lingshan to go to Fuzhou Prefecture to gather information.

In this case, Linghu Chong would not have accepted Qu Yang's task of delivering the zither and would have gone to Hengshan City alone.

She would not have met the little nun Yilin, who was almost harmed by Tian Boguang.

But just look at Linghu Chong, his nosy character.

In the end, he caught her. Tian Boguang met the little nun Yi Lin again and rescued her in Huiyan Tower.

"You have misunderstood Brother Linghu. It was Brother Linghu who saved me."

Just then, a little nun, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate and pretty appearance, radiant complexion and graceful figure, walked in from outside.

Traveling with him was a young man who was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing a cloth shirt with his sleeves rolled up, with his long hair loose, part of which was tied into a ponytail with a piece of cloth, his ears covered by his hair, and he looked very handsome and free and easy.

This little nun was Yilin.

The young man is Linghu Chong.

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense. I was kidnapped by that rapist Tian Boguang two days ago while on the road. Later, I was rescued by the knights of Qingcheng Sect and was able to escape his clutches."

"After that, I traveled with the knights of Qingcheng Sect and entered Hengshan City. In order to meet up with you, Master, I parted ways with you knights of Qingcheng Sect. Who knew that this morning when I was looking for you, Master, in Huiyan Tower, I met that rapist again. He wanted to kidnap me. Fortunately, thanks to Young Hero Linghu, he saved me from the rapist."

After Yi Lin came in, she explained to her master, Master Ding Xian, and the knights present.

"Nonsense, if he was saving people, why would he sit there and drink with Tian Boguang?"

Taoist Tiansong, who was lying on the door panel, didn't believe in Taoism at all.

"At first I didn't know if I could be a match for that rapist, so I didn't dare to act rashly."

Linghu Chong defended himself.

"Then why did you kill someone from my sect?"

The red-faced Taoist priest Tianmen said with an unpleasant look.

"Because Taoist Tiansong came up and attacked me without mercy without asking why, I had no choice but to attack him to make him lose his fighting ability in order to protect myself. Swords and knives have no eyes, but I accidentally seriously injured the Taoist."

Linghu Chong said.

"Since you said you were not sure whether you could defeat the lecherous villain Tian Boguang, why did you save the little nun later?"

Taoist Tiansong had an unpleasant look on his face, picking out loopholes in Linghu Chong's words.

"My swordsmanship is not weak. Although I cannot defeat that rapist, he cannot abduct Junior Sister Yi Lin from me, so he can only escape."

Linghu Chong said.

"It turns out that we have wrongly accused Young Master Linghu. Come on, Tianmen, don't be so petty. Tiansong has also wronged a good man. I, Hengshan, have sent out medicine for Tiansong's injuries."

Upon hearing this, Master Ding Xian's originally gloomy face became much brighter, and she said to the red-faced Taoist priest Tianmen.

Seeing what Master Dingxian said, the red-faced Taoist Tianmen could only stand up silently and send someone to send Tiansong away to heal his wounds.

"Big Brother!"

At this moment, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing a light green dress, with a graceful figure and as charming as a pearl, ran out from the crowd and put her arms around Linghu Chong.

"Junior sister!"

Seeing the girl, a smile appeared on Linghu Chong's face.

"Excuse me, everyone. My only daughter and my eldest disciple Linghu Chong have already been engaged. Young people have sincere feelings, so they were a little too bold when they met."

At this moment, a voice that sounded somewhat gentle and like that of a woman reached everyone's ears.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a man in a green shirt, waving a folding fan in his right hand, looking very casual, and a middle-aged couple with their hair tied up, wearing apricot-yellow clothes, and looking a little cold, walking in from outside.
