The hot steam wafts out from the tea, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Zhao Zheng picked up the tea cup on the table, used the tea lid to remove the green tea leaves floating on the tea, raised the cup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant. He put down the tea cup and looked at the person sitting next to him.
.
The man next to him is no ordinary person.
Judging from the appearance of this man, he is about fifty years old, not too old, but not young either. He is an old man. He is slightly stout, wearing a brown robe, with a hanging hanging on the left side of his waist.
There is a sword and a treasure bag hanging on the right side. There is a kind smile on his face, which makes people feel like the wind is washing their lips.
This amiable-looking old man is the current head of the Taishan sect, Miaoshou Renxinxia. I don’t know.
Since being wronged seven years ago, Jin Tai, the leader of the Taishan Sect, has been in a state of despair and has no intention of taking care of the affairs of the sect. He temporarily handed over the power of the sect to his junior brother Le Shishi, who made him the general manager of the sect affairs.
Handle matters within the sect for him.
Le does not know that he has an eighth-level cultivation, and his strength is far inferior to that of the famous Three Musketeers of Mount Tai. However, he is very honest and honest, and he is very tolerant and humble in his dealings with others. In terms of character and prestige, he is far stronger than the Three Musketeers of Mount Tai, so
Only then will he be entrusted with important tasks by Jin Tai.
Nowadays, Jin Tai, the leader, spends all day in seclusion to thank guests and rarely comes out to see people. All matters within the Taishan Sect are left to Leshi Wanxin, who is equivalent to the leader.
Zhao Zheng came all the way to the Taishan Sect and asked to join it as a guest elder. He first had to obtain the consent of Le Shinzhi, the faction's general affairs manager.
"Shaoxia Zhao, how do you like this green tea produced in Mount Tai?" Le Buxiao asked. His face looked like a full moon, and his eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Taishan's green tea is famous all over the world, and it does have a unique fragrance. However, I am not here to drink tea, but to serve as a guest elder." Zhao Zheng smiled and replied.
"Young people are impatient when doing things. It's not too late to wait until the tea is over to talk about serious matters."
"In that case, I don't need to be in a hurry to ask for an answer." Zhao Zheng offered tea instead of wine and raised his tea cup to Le Shishi.
After half a stick of incense, the tea finally bottomed out.
Le Shizhi shook the tea cup that was about to be empty, and said before he spoke: "Young Master Zhao, I have something unclear. You are extremely talented and seductive. There are many sects to choose from. Why did you choose the Taishan sect?
You know, although Elder Keqing only stays in the Taishan Sect as a guest, he cannot live and eat for free, he still has to bear certain responsibilities, and this burden is not easy."
"Reporting to Director Le, there are two reasons why I chose your sect. One is because I admire your sect's Cangsong swordsmanship. If the rumors are true, the elder Ke Qing who joined your sect will also have the hope to learn this.
I'm a master of swordsmanship." Zhao Zheng replied calmly. As the saying goes, no one will join the Taishan sect if they don't have a purpose.
"It is indeed true. If Elder Ke Qing is loyal to our sect and has made great contributions, he can also learn our unique art of Cangsong Sword Technique." Le Shizhi nodded and admitted, and then asked, "I dare to ask what prompted you to join our sect.
What’s the second reason?”
"The second reason is that I want to get the spiritual fruit of your sect, the 'Salivating White Jade Fruit'. As far as I know, after taking this spiritual fruit, you can quickly improve your cultivation level, and even make a seventh-level warrior become a warrior."
The eighth-level heavenly martial artist can save several years or even more than ten years of training time." Zhao Zheng continued to answer. What he said was true. It was the rare spiritual fruit that attracted him to the Taishan sect. Once he convinced
If you get that kind of spiritual fruit, your cultivation level will improve dramatically!
Le Shizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After he came back to his senses, he laughed and said, "Young Master Zhao is really good at joking. Although our sect does have a spiritual fruit like the Fragrant White Jade Fruit, this kind of spiritual fruit is only available to the headmaster and
Only disciples who have made great contributions to this sect can take it. Not to mention you, even I don’t have the blessing to get involved. If you really come here for this kind of spiritual fruit, you’d better give up on this idea as soon as possible.”
"I know the hope of this matter is slim, but no matter how slim the hope is, it is still hope. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen. If people don't plan things, they will never be able to make things happen. Although my second reason is a bit ridiculous and a bit wishful thinking.
, but that’s why I’m here.” Zhao Zheng said calmly. When others hear this, they will think it’s a joke.
It's a joke, but he himself has a lot of confidence. He knows everything about the Taishan Sect. Using this advantage, he can take the lead step by step, do many beautiful things for the Taishan Sect, and even hope to dissolve the Taishan Sect and the Three Swordsmen.
Conflicts and entanglements between sects. If you achieve these great achievements, you will naturally get the rare fragrant white jade fruit.
Le did not see that what Zhao Zheng said was serious, so he continued to sneer and nodded: "It's a good thing for young people to be a little ambitious. I shouldn't kill a whole boat of people with one rod and speak too harshly. Except for this
Apart from the two reasons, are there any other reasons that drove you to come to the Taishan Sect?"
"I think these two reasons are enough."
"It's indeed enough. Since you are determined to join the Taishan Sect, I won't ask any more questions. You have the sixth level of cultivation, and you have the first sword in your hand. If you can join our Taishan Sect, you will definitely be able to achieve great success."
The lintel of our sect is really our luck. The head of our sect is still in retreat and has no time to take care of the door.
All affairs of the sect will be taken care of by me, the general manager of the sect. As the general manager of the sect, I agreed to this matter. From now on, you will be the guest elder of the Taishan sect. I will give you a message on the top of the main peak, the Jade Emperor.
Please arrange a place for you to live and practice." Le Buxiao said.
"Thank you, Manager Le, for your support. I promise that I will do my best to help the Taishan Sect from now on and will never have second thoughts." Zhao Zheng stood up and bowed in thanks.
Even though the matter was settled like this, I was happy to invite Zhao Zheng back to his seat and told Zhao Zheng some of the rules of the Taishan Sect and the responsibilities of the elders of the Keqing. As the saying goes, it is better to tell Zhao Zheng beforehand these rules.
Well, if we wait until after the foul is committed, it will be too late.
In fact, the rules of all the decent families in the world are similar. One is to observe the precepts, and the other is to respect the etiquette. To observe the precepts is nothing more than not to sneak around, not to kill innocent people, not to pick up flowers, etc. To respect the etiquette is nothing more than to respect the teacher and the way. See
When visiting important figures such as the headmaster, elders, and hall masters, you must salute, etc.
Zhao Zheng originally knew about half of these rules, but today he heard Le Bushi talk about the other half. He secretly wrote down these miscellaneous rules to avoid violating them in the future.
After talking about the written rules, Le Shiwan started talking about some unwritten rules.
"Now that you have joined the Taishan Sect, I will no longer call you Shaoxia Zhao. It would be too awkward. I might as well call you by your first name." Le Bu didn't know.
"I'm not worthy of the word "Xia" in the first place, so it would be best if Manager Yu just calls me by my name." Zhao Zheng said happily.
Le Shizhi nodded and continued: "Zhao Zheng, as a member of the martial arts world, you should have heard a little bit about the conflict between our sect and our neighbor, the Three Blade Sect. In recent years, many battles have broken out, resulting in many deaths and injuries.
"
"No one knows about this kind of thing, not to mention people in the world, even ordinary people know it." Zhao Zheng said solemnly.
"Since you have heard these things, I won't go into details and will only tell you the important ones. Three years ago, an unprecedentedly fierce bloody battle broke out between our sect and the Three Blade Sect in Tai'an County, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.
In order to prevent this kind of incident from happening again, we made a high-five agreement with the Sandao Sect, agreeing to use Tai'an County to divide the river to govern, and hand over the west of Tai'an County to the Sandao Sect, while we retreat to the east of Tai'an County. In this way, we
A large area was lost and allowed the Three Sword Sect to take advantage. However, in order to avoid another bloody battle, this was the only way to go. From then on, people in the sect were no longer allowed to move west of Tai'an County.
, if you operate there, it is likely to cause friction with the Three Sword Sect again. If you join the Taishan Sect, you will be a member of the Taishan Sect from now on. In order to avoid causing trouble to the Taishan Sect, you must strictly abide by this agreement.
, don’t easily go to the west of Tai’an County for activities.” Le Shizhi said seriously. Even though he is a person who loves to laugh, when he said these words, he lost the smile on his face.
"I will keep this matter in mind and will never engage in dangerous activities west of Tai'an County in the future." Zhao Zhengxin vowed.
"This is the best. It can save you trouble and avoid disaster for Taishan Sect." Le Shizhi said and let out a long sigh, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.
, our relationship with the Three Sword Sect is still very good, but because of that incident, the two sects turned against each other and formed a blood feud. I don’t know when the hatred between the two sects will be resolved and the two sects will be able to fight.
The sects are back together."
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. If you want to relieve the hatred between the two sects, you have to trace the source. Only by solving the unsolved case seven years ago and uncovering the real culprit behind the scenes can we hope to resolve the dispute between the two sects.
hatred."
"Everyone knows this truth, but how easy is it to do it? It's been too long. The two witnesses from seven years ago are no longer here. I heard that the secret room where the incident happened has also changed. And the three swords
The sect is now like a mad dog, gnashing its teeth with hatred for our sect and refusing to let anyone from our sect enter their territory. Our people can’t even go, let alone find out the truth. If the truth can be found out, our sect will
The door has been found out a long time ago, why has it been delayed until today? I can only lament that so many innocent members of the two schools have been implicated for such a thing. In recent years, the number of people from the two schools who have died for this together, at least five
There are more than a hundred people." Le Zhizhi shook his head and sighed again.
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. The laws of nature are clear, and retribution is not good. I believe that the truth will come out sooner or later." Zhao Zheng said firmly. He has been a man in two lives and knows all the ins and outs of the tragic death of the leader of the Three Sword Sect in the secret room.
, with this, I am confident that we can find out the mastermind behind the scenes and make the truth known to the world. However, this matter is too involved and difficult to do, and it cannot be solved overnight.
"With your good words, I also hope to see this day in my lifetime." Le Shishi said with a wry smile.
Zhao Zheng felt that this topic was too heavy, so he changed the subject and said, "Manager Le, please put these depressing topics aside for now. Let's talk about something happy."
"Do you have anything happy to say?" Le Zhan asked.
"Before I went to the mountain, I prepared a small gift for the Taishan sect. You will be very happy after seeing this small gift." Zhao Zheng said with a smile. (To be continued.
