Lu Yuan was right, those who came first were just minor characters. When the golden basin washing ceremony was about to begin, many big shots came one after another.
Among them, the first to arrive were three warriors from the Waigang Realm, all wearing blue clothes and carrying swords behind their backs.
Lu You pointed at the three people and said: "Three of the four great swordsmen of the Spirit Sword Sect are here. These three people have reached the Waigang Realm in their prime. It is said that they were taught and promoted by Yao Nanqian in the Spirit Sword Sect in the past."
A warrior next to him wondered: "Why didn't Lin Feiyu, the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, Frost Moon Sword, come? My elder Jinpen washed his hands. As the leader, why should he come forward?"
Lu You looked around and chuckled in a low voice: "There are some rumors, but they are just rumors. Don't take them seriously."
Several warriors present also laughed. They knew what Lu You meant. Could the news spread by the wind media in Fengmanlou be just gossip?
Lu You lowered his voice and said: "Lin Feiyu, the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, is the junior of Yao Nanqian according to his generation, and he is the same generation as the four great swordsmen present.
It's just that Lin Feiyu's qualifications were mediocre at first, and Yao Nanqian promoted many others. However, because Lin Feiyu had conflicts with his disciples, and on the contrary, he protected his shortcomings and suppressed him, which also led to a feud between the two.
As a result, no one expected that the successor chosen by the Spirit Sword Sect would die midway, while Lin Feiyu, who originally seemed mediocre, would actually become full-fledged and soar into the sky.
Not long after Lin Feiyu entered the Waigang Realm, he directly realized enlightenment and condensed the top three flowers. After taking over the position of the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect a year ago, he even observed the Nirvana Sword marks left by the ancestors of the Spirit Sword Sect.
, gathering the five qi in the body, reaching the state where the five qi are facing the Yuan, and it is only one step away from the state of the great master where the heaven and man are unified.
If you think about it carefully, the disciples you suppressed in the past have now achieved far more achievements than the ancestors of the Spirit Sword Sect for generations. It is not easy for Yao Nanqian to stay in the Spirit Sword Sect for such a long time.
This may not be the reason why he washed his hands in the golden basin today. Now Lin Feiyu can still allow three Waigang Realm experts who have the best relationship with Yao Nanqian to participate in his golden basin hand-washing ceremony. This is already considered generous."
Some warriors doubted: "But the outside world says that Mr. Yao is a fair man and likes to promote younger students. Not only the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, but also the young warriors in the world are often promoted by Mr. Yao."
Lu You glanced around and said: "It's not convenient to say more in this place today. I'll just tell you that there have never been saints in this world. It's normal to help relatives but not care. My own disciples have been bullied.
No matter how fair a person is, can he still favor outsiders?"
Several people present nodded hesitantly, and just when they were about to say something, several groups of people walked in from outside.
Lu You said like a treasure trove: "Lingdong Zhou family, Bashui Lu family, Jiuhua sect, Red Flame Sword Sect... Tsk tsk, people from more than ten major sects have come. Yao Nanqian is hanging out with Yandong Wulin in Qiuling County.
For half his life, many people have given him face, hey, this is a real big shot."
As he said that, another military warrior in his early thirties, wearing silver bright light armor and a long sword on his waist, walked in from the door.
When I saw the visitor, this time it was not the eldest son of the Yao family who came to greet him, but Yao Nanqian himself.
Yao Nanqian is over seventy years old this year, with a square face and gray hair, but after all, he has the strength of the Waigang Realm, and his life span can easily exceed 100 years. Although he has reached the time when his energy and blood are declining, he still retains most of his strength.
Today, Yao Nanqian was wearing a brocade robe without any weapons. He was dressed like a rich man. When he saw the military warrior coming, he immediately went up to him with a smile and said, "I actually bothered General Xiang to come here in person. I'm so old."
It’s really brilliant.”
The general waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yao, please don't make fun of me. I am just a lieutenant under Zhenshan Army. I cannot deserve the title of general."
Yao Nanqian smiled and said: "You deserve it. Who doesn't know that General Xiang is now the confidant of General Yin Luohua, the general of the Zhenshan Army. He has already arrived at Waigang Realm at a young age. It is estimated that it will not take long for General Xiang to step into the Three Kingdoms."
In the realm of flowers gathering at the top, he will definitely be named a deputy general when the time comes. This general is called in the morning and in the evening. "
Hearing what Yao Nanqian said, General Xiang didn't say much. He just casually took off the long knife from his waist and threw it to Yao Nanqian as a gift, and then walked straight in.
It is normal for warriors to send weapons as gifts, but the problem is that now Yao Nanqian wants to wash his hands in a golden basin. In the end, the general actually gave a sword as a gift, which is very unlucky.
After receiving the gift, Yao Nanqian's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything more and just asked people to take him in obediently.
Lu You whispered from behind: "With the nine counties of Yandong, the Northern Yan court has stationed three armies in Yandong. Our Qiuling County is actually under the control of the Zhenshan Army.
This person's name is Xiang Weiyang, and he is the confidant of Zhenshan Army General Yin Luohua. He was not well-known before, but after being promoted by Yin Luohua, he became very brilliant. He participated in the campaign to encircle and suppress the thirty-six giant bandits in the North.
Within a few days, we will lead a team to annihilate the Fang family in Linzhong County who are disrespectful to the imperial court, using decisive and sharp methods."
A warrior beside him whispered: "It's a bit strange for people from the imperial court to come to participate in the golden basin hand-washing ceremony of us Jianghu people."
Lu You said in a deep voice: "It's not surprising. In the past, our Northern Yan was weak and was suppressed by the Eastern Qi. This is because today's saints and heroes have a great strategy. Together with the Northern Yan martial arts, everyone is united to solve the thirty-six giant bandits in the North.
Misfortune, the Eastern Qi was defeated in foreign wars, and the up-and-down Wei State was destroyed, turning it into the Wei Commandery of Northern Yan.
Although the disputes between the court and the Jianghu have become more intense in recent years, the previous relationship still exists. As Yao Nanqian, the Zhenshan Army sent a promising captain to support him, which can be regarded as giving him face.
"
After Xiang Weiyang, who represented the military of the Northern Yan Dynasty, came, several people from major factions also came, the most famous of which was an old monk.
The old monk seemed to have a good relationship with Yao Nanqian. After a polite exchange between the two parties, Yao Nanqian personally brought him into the villa.
Lu You whispered: "The abbot of Jinhua Temple, Zen Master Hengshan, is a master of the Waigang Realm in Daishan County. Of course, he is more famous for his attainments in Buddhism. He is the strongest among the Buddhist temples in Daishan County. Listen.
It is said that he was once invited by Daguangming Temple to give lectures on Zen and Taoism.
Zen Master Hengshan and Yao Nanqian are close friends, and this time Yao Nanqian washed his hands in the golden basin, he was also invited to serve as a witness."
The few warriors following Lu You nodded repeatedly. Although they also like to inquire about some gossips in the world, those are just rumors and gossip. How can there be a real media in the world like Lu You who has such good information?
An hour later, almost everyone had arrived. Yao Nanqian walked up to a high platform erected in the middle of the courtyard, cupped his hands and said to the surrounding people: "Comrades, I would like to show my face to you today to participate in the ceremony of washing my hands in the golden basin. I am nothing but grateful.
There is nothing else to say.
The old man used to be just a down-and-out small businessman. Only when he was in his twenties did he gain the wisdom of his master and join the Lingjian Sect. He has been hanging out in the Yandong martial arts world for decades and has made a small name."
Upon hearing this, someone below immediately said: "Mr. Yao, if your reputation is only insignificant, then we will become truly unknown people."
Yao Nanqian smiled and said: "There are so many heroes in the world, but compared with them, how can I not be insignificant?
It was precisely because of seeing these heroes that Lao Chan felt that he was already old and could not contribute to the sect. Instead of relying on the sect to be a bastard, it would be better to withdraw from the world and spend his old age in peace.
Having been in the world for decades, I have seen wind and rain, and experienced waves. It is time to go ashore, and let all those grudges and grudges be wiped out from now on.
The old Yao Nanqian, today officially washes his hands in the golden basin. From now on, he will not care about the grudges and grudges of the world, and will not care about the right and wrong of the martial arts. Go to the golden basin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Nanqian's eldest son had already brought up the golden basin filled with water. The abbot of Jinhua Temple, Zen Master Hengshan, also stood aside as a witness to the golden basin hand-washing ceremony.
Zen Master Hengshan's responsibility as a witness is not small. As a witness, it means that he can prove that Yao Nanqian has washed his hands. If Yao Nanqian interferes in Jianghu affairs again in the future, it will be a violation of the rules. As a witness, he will have to
The first one to attack Yao Nanqian.
And if someone else takes action against Yao Nanqian who has already washed his hands in a golden basin, it will also break the rules. As a witness, he must be the first to stand up and help Yao Nanqian and contact people in the world for help.
It can be said that this is a very troublesome matter. If it is not a true close friend or a fellow disciple, no one will take this position.
Everyone below was waiting for the final scene of the golden basin washing hands, but at this moment a voice suddenly came.
"Mr. Yao has prepared a golden basin to wash his hands and settle the grievances in the world, but have you ever asked others if they are willing to settle these grievances with you?
Stepping into the arena and picking up the sword, my hands were stained with blood and stained with cause and effect.
Let alone a gold basin, even a purple gold basin cannot wash away the blood on your hands, nor can it wash away the karma on your body.
There is a saying that goes like this: Things in this world are like tides and people are like water. Only a few people in the rivers and lakes return.
Mr. Yao, if you want to withdraw from this world so safely, it’s not that easy.”
Everyone suddenly looked back and saw nearly a hundred warriors in black standing on the courtyard wall of Yao Family Village.
The dark samurai uniform, the black iron hat with gold patterns, and the weird black iron mask.
There was a ferocious bloodstain on the black iron mask of the leader, and he looked at Yao Nanqian with his cold eyes. That chilling chill shrouded the entire Yao Village in a chilling chill!
ps: I’m asking everyone for monthly passes. The leader’s monthly pass has dropped to tenth on the new book list. That’s really miserable. He obviously has the smallest collection, but his monthly pass results are so miserable. I’m not willing to give in in July (looking up to the sky and roaring angrily). I don’t want to ask for it.
First, at least the results must be acceptable. Thank you everyone~~
