The bookshelves moved slightly. Everyone present was someone with profound cultivation. "Come out, the three of you!" Huang Rong immediately shouted.”Guo Fu giggled and came out to make a face, saying,""Brother Wu and I are here looking for books to read.”Huang Rong knew that the three of them had never been close to books. How could they suddenly study hard today? Looking at her daughter's expression, she guessed that they must have been hiding and eavesdropping. Just as she was about to scold him, a Beggar's Sect disciple reported that a guest from afar had arrived. Huang Rong glanced at Yang Huan and went out with Guo Jing to welcome the guest.
Guo Jing said to the Wu brothers,"Brother Yang is your childhood companion.”
The Wu brothers had never been on good terms with Yang Guo since they were young. When they heard their master say that Yang Guo's martial arts were profound, they were even more indignant. They casually called a villager and ordered him to take care of Yang Guo and arrange a place for him to sleep.
Guo Fu was very curious about Yang Guo and asked,""Brother Yang, I just heard father say that your current internal strength is not below his. Your current master must be very powerful, right?”
"My master's martial arts are superb, unparalleled in the world!" Yang Guo said with a face full of admiration.”
Hearing Yang Guo's words, the Wu brothers thought to themselves,""Shameless boasting." " I heard from Priest Sun that your master is a devious person," Wu Xiuwen said sarcastically." How can he compare to our master's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"”
"My father's martial arts is indeed the best." Guo Fu chimed in from the side.”
Yang Guo was no longer on the same level as Guo Fu's trio, so he did not argue with them and followed the servant to rest.
This morning, countless male cocoons arrived at the Lu Residence. Although the Lu Residence was big, it was already packed with people.
After lunch, the Beggar's Sect members gathered in the forest outside the Lu Residence. The replacement of the new and old Sect Masters was the most solemn celebration in Beggar's Sect. Senior disciples from all over the world attended the ceremony, and the heroes who came to the Lu Manor to participate in the Banquet of Heroes were also invited to attend the ceremony.
For more than ten years, Lu Youjiao had been taking Huang Rong's place to handle the sect's affairs. He was fair, upright, and daring. The two factions of Beggar's Sect, the Dirty Clothes and the Clean Clothes, were all convinced. At that time, Elder Jian of the Jingyi Sect had already passed away, Elder Liang had been bedridden for many years, and Elder Peng had betrayed them. There was no one else in the sect who could compete with them, so this replacement was a matter of course. After Huang Rong made the announcement according to the sect rules, she handed over the dog beating stick passed down from generation to generation to Lu Youjiao. All the disciples spat at him together, only to spit all over his face, front and back. Thus, the ceremony of the new sect leader taking over was completed.
Yang Guo saw the Sect Leader's unusual etiquette and thought to himself,"If in the future, when Master gives me the title of sect master, I will also use this kind of etiquette.”，Just as he was about to stand up and report the news of Hong Qigong's death, he suddenly saw an old beggar leap onto a large rock and loudly say,""Old Sect Master Hong has ordered me to pass on his orders.”When the gang members heard this, they cheered in unison. They hadn't received any news from the old Sect Master for more than ten years, so they were always worried about him. When they suddenly heard his orders, they were all ecstatic. A beggar in the crowd shouted,""I wish Old Sect Master Hong well!" The beggars shouted together, their voices shaking the heavens and earth. The cries of the people rose and fell for a long time.
"Half a year ago, I met Sect Master Hong in Shixing County, Shaozhou, Guangnan East Road. I accompanied him for a drink." He was in good health and had a good appetite. His alcohol tolerance was the same as before.”The group of beggars shouted loudly again, mixed with laughter. The old beggar continued," Over the years, the old Sect Master has killed many corrupt officials and tyrants who brought disaster to the country and the people. He said that he had just heard the news that there were five big bad guys called the 'Five Uglies of the Tibetan Borders'. They had been ordered by the Mongolian Tartars to do a lot of bad things in Eastern Sichuan and Huguang. The old man was going to rush over to investigate. If it was true, he would naturally take these five dog lives.”
The old beggar continued,"Old Sect Master Hong said, Now the world is in chaos. The Mongolia Tartars are invading the south day by day and encroaching on our Song Dynasty. All our troops must be loyal and loyal. They must fight to the death to kill the enemy and resist foreign aggression.”The group of beggars agreed in unison, their expressions extremely excited. The old beggar said," The government affairs of the imperial court are in disorder. The treacherous officials are in power. It's impossible for those stinking officials to protect the country and the people. Now that the foreign invasion is getting deeper, everyone should have the heart to contribute to the country. Old Sect Master Hong has ordered me to encourage all my good brothers to firmly remember the word 'loyalty'.”The group of beggars responded in unison,""I swear to obey old Sect Leader Hong's lesson.”
Yang Guo had lost his education since he was a child, so he didn't know how important the word 'loyalty' was. He was even taught the law of the jungle by Jun Wu Shang, such as 'survival of the fittest' and so on. I suddenly feel like a group of fools.
After the Beggar's Sect Meeting, the sect would be holding rewards, punishments, promotions, and dethrones. It was inconvenient for the guests outside the sect to hear about it, so they left one after another. In the evening, the Lu Residence was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the lights were brilliant. There were more than two hundred seats in the main hall, front hall, back hall, carriage hall, and flower hall. More than half of the world's famous heroes attended the banquet. This Banquet of Heroes was a rare event that only happened once in decades. If not for the fact that the host had a wide network of friends and was admired by everyone, it would have been difficult to invite so many martial arts heroes.
The new Sect Master of Beggar's Sect, Lu Youjiao, raised his wine cup and stood up. He raised his cup to toast the heroes and said in a clear voice,"Our Sect Leader Hong has sent an order saying that the Mongolian invasion is getting more and more urgent. He has ordered our Sect to fight to the death to resist the foreign invaders. Now that the heroes of the world are gathered here, everyone has loyalty in their hearts. We must discuss a brilliant plan so that the Mongolian Tartars will not dare to invade our Great Song again.”After he said these few words, the heroes all stood up. One after another, they all agreed. Most of the people who came to the Banquet of Heroes today were brave men. Seeing that the state affairs were changing and the disaster was imminent, they had long been deeply worried. When someone mentioned this matter, the loyal heroes naturally responded.
A silver-bearded elder stood up and said in a loud voice,""As the saying goes, a snake without a head can't do anything. We only have the will of loyalty. Without a leader, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Today, with so many heroes here, everyone would elect a hero who was highly respected and respected. With him leading, everyone would follow his orders.”The heroes cheered together, and someone shouted,"I'll let you take the lead!”"There's no need to recommend others!"
The old man laughed and said,"What kind of trash am I?" Among the martial arts experts, the Evil of the East, the Poison of the West, the South Deity, the Beggar of the North, and the Divine Power of the Middle were the leaders. The Taoist Master Chongyang has been an immortal for many years. The Lord of the Eastern Evil Yellow Island is a loner. The West Poison is not a person of our generation. The South Emperor is far away in Dali and is not a citizen of our Song Dynasty. The leader of the group was naturally Senior Beigai Hong.”
Hong Qigong was a towering figure in the martial arts world. He was truly the hope of the masses. The heroes clapped together without any objections.
One of the people said," Sect Master Hong is naturally the leader of the heroes. Besides him, who else can convince the masses with their skills and surpass others with their virtue to take on this great responsibility?"”His voice was loud and clear. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, but they could not see the person. It turned out that the person who spoke was very short and was covered by the people beside him. "Who spoke?" someone asked.”
The short man jumped up and stood on the table. He was less than three feet tall, over forty years old, and his face was full of vigor. Some people recognized him as the Jiangxi hero "Dwarf Lion" Lei Meng. Everyone wanted to laugh, but when they saw his fierce eyes looking around, they swallowed their laughter. He said," But Old Gang Leader Hong is unpredictable. He rarely shows his face in ten years. If he encounters a major matter of resisting the enemy and is unable to ask for instructions from him, then what?"”The heroes thought to themselves,'That's true.”"What we did today was all for the sake of serving our country. We have no selfish motives." We elected a vice alliance leader. When Alliance Leader Hong roamed the world, everyone obeyed his orders.”
Amidst the applause, someone shouted,""Hero Guo Jing!" "Sect Leader Lu is the best!" someone shouted.”Someone said," The former Sect Leader Huang of Beggar's Sect is resourceful and is also the disciple of Old Sect Leader Hong. I recommend Sect Leader Huang."”"It's this Manor Lord Lu," someone else said.”Someone even called out,"Master Ma of Quan Zhen Sect. Perfected Changchun Ziqiu." for a time everyone's discussion was in disarray.
In the midst of the chaos, four Taoists quickly walked in from the entrance of the hall. They were Hao Datong, Sun Bu 'er, Zhao Zhijing, and Yin Zhiping. Hao Datong whispered into Guo Jing's ear,""There are enemies coming to cause trouble. We must be careful. We rushed back to report." Guo Jing thought that Guang Ningzi, Hao Datong, was one of the top experts in Quan Zhen Sect. There weren't many people who could beat him in martial arts. His voice trembled slightly as he said these words. His opponent must be a very powerful figure. He asked in a low voice,"Ouyang Feng?" "No, it's the Mongolian that I lost to him."”"Prince Huo Du?" Guo Jing nodded.”
Before Hao Datong could reply, he heard the horn outside the gate, followed by the intermittent sound of hitting rocks. "Welcome the distinguished guests!" Lu Guanying shouted.”As soon as he finished speaking, there were already dozens of people standing in front of the hall. They were all dressed up as Mongolians, and the heroes were discussing animatedly. One had to know that today was the day when the leader of the martial arts world was chosen to fight against the Tartars, but now there were ten Tartars. As the saying went, they came with ill intentions.
Guo Jing told Huang Rong what Hao Datong said in a low voice, then stood up. The couple and Lu Guanying went up to him. The leader of the group was dressed in a red robe. He was extremely tall and thin, and his body was like a bamboo pole. His forehead was slightly sunken, like a plate. Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other. They had heard from Medicine Master Huang about the strange martial arts of the Tibetan Tantra. When one practiced it to a very high level, the top of his head would slightly cave in. This person's head and heart were deeply sunken. Could it be that his martial arts were really very profound? How come no one in Jianghu had heard of such a master in Tibet?
On the left of the Tibetan monk stood a noble young master with elegant features. Guo Jing recognized him as the Mongolian Prince Huo Du. The skinny Tibetan monk on the right was Huo Du's senior brother Da Er Ba. These two people had met in Zhongnan Mountain's Chongyang Palace. Although they were first-class experts, their martial arts were inferior to his, so he did not fear them.
Guo and Huang were secretly on guard and bowed at the same time. "Everyone has come from afar, so please take a seat and have a few drinks," said Guo Jing.”
Huo Du didn't sit down and said to the Tibetan Monk,""Master, let me introduce you to two famous heroes of the Central Plains…Guo Jing was shocked."So he's the master of this Mongolian prince.”The Tibetan monk nodded, his eyes half-open and half-closed. "This is Great Swordsman Guo Jing, who was once the commander of the Right Army of the Western Expedition of the Mongol Empire. This is Madam Guo, also known as the Beggar's Sect Leader Huang."”When the Tibetan monk heard the eight characters of " Marshal of the Right Army of the Western Expedition of the Mongol Empire," his eyes opened wide, and a bright light shot out from them. He looked at Guo Jing's face for a moment before closing his eyes again. He did not seem to care about the leader of the Beggar's Sect.
" This is my master, the Holy Monk of Tibet," Prince Huo Du said in a clear voice." Everyone calls him Jinlun Guoshi. The current Queen of Great Mongolia has conferred him the title of the First Protector.”These words were spoken so loudly that all the heroes in the hall heard them clearly. Everyone looked at each other in shock and thought,"We are here to discuss how to resist the Mongolian invasion to the south. Why is there a Mongolian protector?"”
Guo Jing didn't know how to deal with these people, so he said indifferently,""Everyone has come from afar. Please drink a few more cups.”
After three rounds of wine, Prince Huo Du stood up and waved his folding fan. He opened it, revealing a delicate peony on it. He said in a clear voice,"We, master and disciple, did not receive the hero invitation today, but came to the heroes 'banquet. We shamelessly became uninvited guests, but when we thought of meeting the sages, we could not care less. The grand meeting is rare, and there is no longer a good time. All the heroes of the world are gathered here. In my opinion, we must elect a leader of the heroes to lead the martial arts world and become the leader of the heroes of the world. What do you think?”
"Dwarf Lion" Lei Meng said loudly,"That's right. We have already elected Old Sect Master Hong of Beggar's Sect as the leader of the warlords. Now, we are recommending a deputy leader. What do you think?”
Huo Du sneered,"Seventh Duke Hong has returned to his position long ago. Pushing a ghost to be the alliance leader, do you think we are all dead?”
