Chapter 54 Huashan Martial Arts Conference
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he was in Guiwei. At the beginning of late autumn, he would meet at Fairy Peak, the top of Mount Huashan, which was also a grand gathering in the martial arts world.
All the virtuous people have arrived, and the young and old have gathered together.
This place has high mountains, lush forests and bamboo trees.
There are also clear currents with strong turbulence, reflecting them to the left and right, which makes people think they are flowing with meandering water. Well, this is not the case.
Li Jiang has been back to the mountain for a few days. He is now wearing the newly redeemed hero suit at the peak to welcome guests. He is handsome in the wind, his clothes and belt are fluttering. He is such a handsome gentleman, just like an immortal banished from the dust.
He has done something big this time, and it has spread all over the world. Many people have heard that Li Shaoxia is going to hold a martial arts competition to kill Tatars in Huashan.
So everyone who thinks they are qualified flocks to Huashan. Some people even arrive two or three days in advance. The Huashan sect has limited reception capacity, so we can't give away the only five houses, right?
This gave Li Jiang a headache. While secretly scolding his grandson for spreading this news, he also felt that this was good. His achievements were praised by so many people. Thinking about it, he was a little excited.
There are more and more people, and many people have set up tents directly on the platform, and some people have even hung up hammocks in the pine forest beside the platform. The small Huashan sect is now filled with smoke and demons are dancing wildly.
At this time, only the mute was on the mountain. Fortunately, he had help. Not only did he help with the settlement, but he also stopped a few rough people from cutting down trees to make a fire.
When Li Jiang heard about it, his head almost exploded. He wondered if his master would use family methods against him, the original author, when he came back and saw that Huashan was in such a miserable state.
Just like this, a few days passed in fear, until the appointed day arrived, but Mu Renqing and other Huashan disciples were not seen returning to the mountain. Li Jiang became anxious again. The stage was set up, and the main audience was not present. Who should I perform to?
look?
So he came to the platform early and stared at the road up the mountain.
People from all walks of life came from time to time, and Li Jiang couldn't just show off his face. People also came to support him, so he nodded and greeted them one by one. The famous ones even had to say a few words, such as long-standing admiration, excessive praise, etc. The scene was full of nonsense.
Boom.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Jiang's 10.0 eyesight finally saw a group of people meandering towards him. Who was the one in front of him with fluttering sleeves, not Mu Renqing?
Oh, the one carrying the chessboard next to him is Taoist Mu Sang. Ha, I am more stable this time. With Mu Sang’s chess friends here, I will definitely be able to stop Mu Renqing from getting angry in public.
Behind them is an old man with a yellow face, who must be senior brother Huang Zhen. Next are Gui Xingshu's family, Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing.
Huh? Miss Ninth is also here. Why are you, Princess Ming, following us reckless people?
Thinking of her curious look with a hundred thousand reasons, Li Jiang's head started to hurt again.
Old man Cheng and Bai Fanzi also came. I hope her master can take care of her, but given her status, alas...
Mu Renqing and others were still dozens of meters away from the platform, when Li Jiang smiled like a flower and greeted them from afar.
First of all, he made his posture perfect. Li Jiang came forward and backward, bent down and made a big salute, and also chanted: "Welcome Master back to the mountain."
After he finished speaking, he did not straighten up, bowed his head to Taoist Mu Sang and said, "Welcome Taoist Master to come to Huashan as a guest. We can play chess again to make friends."
Mu Renqing snorted and ignored him.
However, Taoist Mu Sang pulled him up with a smile and said: "My little friend is really extraordinary. He has done such a big thing. Now it has been spread all over the world, saying that there is a great hero Li from Huashan. He is eager for justice and good for justice.
The country is for the people, and your master is happy in his heart!"
"Hey, you old Taoist, why did you involve me again? This little monkey can't praise you, don't you know?" Mu Renqing complained to Taoist Mu Sang with a straight face.
"Why can't I praise him? Of course I can praise him for what he did." Taoist Master Mu Sang was unconvinced.
Hahaha, Li Jiang listened to their bickering with a smile. Seeing that the master's expression was not really angry, his racing heart finally calmed down. This was really stable.
He hugged his fists to the senior brother and Ninth Girl behind him as a welcome gesture. Everyone nodded in response, except Gui Xingshu's family.
Li Jiang was indifferent to this and let them go. So he should lead the way and please Mu Renqing.
After going up the mountain, he saw the tents and crowds full of people, garbage everywhere, and smelled the faint stench carried by the mountain wind. Mu Renqing frowned deeply and turned around to glare at Li Jiang.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jiang quickly waved to the mute, indicating that Mu Renqing and his group should be led into the inner courtyard of the Huashan Sect.
Without waiting for the mute to come over, he ran away, using his magical power to change his body and move around in the crowd before disappearing.
At this time, the people on the platform also noticed Mu Renqing and the others. No matter whether they were standing or sitting, they all stood up and greeted each other with fists clasped. For a time, there was a lot of noise and accents from the south to the north.
Mu Renqing could not pursue Li Jiang in full view of the public, so he had to let him go. He was forced to maintain his demeanor, nodded to everyone with a smile, and slowly followed the mute towards the inner courtyard.
Everyone walked through the woods and entered the inner courtyard of Huashan. Several tables had been set up here. When everyone sat down, the mute served a large bowl of herbal tea prepared in advance.
The slightly cold tea drove away the heat of everyone's journey up the mountain, and their mood gradually calmed down.
Mu Renqing looked around with his tea bowl, but did not find Li Jiang. He called the mute and asked where the Li Jiang people were. The mute gestured for a while, which probably meant that Li Jiang arranged for Mu Renqing and the others to rest for a while, and then go out to attend the conference later.
.
As for Li Jiang himself, he said that he wanted to set up a stage on the mountain top platform and had to take care of it outside, so he did not come in to chat with his master and his brothers and the guests.
Mu Ren was so angry that he knocked the tea bowl in his hand on the table and cursed angrily: "This traitor has no rules at all. How can the master not come to receive you?"
Then he said to Gui Xingshu and Gui Erniang, who were looking at him eagerly: "Don't worry, you two, I will punish him severely later and make him hand over the medicine."
Seeing that their master did not change his original intention, Gui Xingshu and Gui Erniang reiterated their intention to punish Li Jiang and felt relieved for the time being.
Yuan Chengzhi secretly chuckled beside him. The second senior brother and second senior sister-in-law were probably going to be disappointed. Even though the master had a dark face now and clamored to punish the younger junior brother severely, didn't that time the board was raised high and dropped gently?
The second senior brother and the others had never stayed in Huashan with their younger junior brother, so they had no idea how much the master doted on him. As long as this junior brother, who was smarter than a monkey, said something nice to the master, the master would let him go.
Haven't you heard the master call him "Little Monkey"? What is the master's nickname? "Old Monkey".
Anyway, Yuan Chengzhi thought that he did not dare to learn from Li Jiang. People regard the rules of the sect as nothing, and I am afraid he will be severely punished when it is his turn.
