Longevity begins with a proud smile

Dozens of butter candles chirped in the vast nave of the Beggar's Gang Hall. The four nine-bag elders of the Beggar's Gang, more than a dozen eight-bag elders, as well as the helmsmen from various places, and the leading figures of the Beggar's Gang were all present. Get together, sit cross-legged on the floor, or sit on a chair.

Not only based on the clothes, but based on sitting alone, one can tell the difference between the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect.

It's just that everyone looked suspicious and restless at the moment. However, the rules of the Beggar Clan were strict and no one dared to speak for a while.

Suddenly, Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min walked in.

Everyone stood up and worshiped: "See the gang leader!"

Zhuo Lingfeng said: "My brothers don't need to see anyone outside. Please sit down." He took Zhao Min's hand and asked her to sit next to him.

At this time, Zhangbo Longtou turned around and cursed: "A bunch of idiots, they only ask the gang leader to salute, but can't they see the lady?"

Everyone in the Beggar Clan immediately bowed and said in unison: "See the leader's wife!" They were really respectful.

Zhao Min just saw that there were too many people watching, so he could only stand silently in the crowd, not daring to step forward, for fear of being seen by people from the six major sects. If the grudge broke out, it would be a big trouble for Zhuo Lingfeng.

At this moment, seeing everyone in the Beggar Clan recognizing his identity, he was very happy. He bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Thank you all brothers!" Then he sat next to Zhuo Lingfeng.

After everyone sat down, an old man with a beard stood up and said loudly: "Gang leader, I have something that I don't understand. Please clarify it."

He was tall and tall, and his voice was like a loud bell, which made everyone's eardrums buzz. He was the elder of the Nine Pockets of the Beggar Clan, holding the dragon's head.

Zhuo Lingfeng said with a smile: "Elder Feng, please speak."

I heard Zhang Bang Longtou say: "This heroes meeting is a great opportunity for the gang leader to seize the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. The Persian Ming Cult has beaten the Middle-earth Ming Cult to disgrace, so why does the gang leader protect the face of the Ming Cult?"

Moreover, we are going to fight the Hulu. If the gang leader allows the Persian Hu to participate in the meeting, won't he fall into the trap again? "

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Min inadvertently.

He looked rude, but he was actually quite eloquent. His words were neither arrogant nor humble, and quite reasonable. Everyone nodded.

After all, Zhuo Lingfeng married Zhao Min and was criticized by others. This is a fact. It is inevitable that some people will doubt his intentions. Now he is taking in a bunch of barbarians, even if they are the elders of Chuan Gong, law enforcement elders, Zhang Bo Longtou and other mature and resourceful people. The scholar couldn't figure out the reason, and his eyes fell on Zhuo Lingfeng.

In their eyes, Zhuo Lingfeng should take the opportunity to destroy the face of the Mingjiao, so that tomorrow he can easily win the martial arts leader and show his power in front of everyone.

Zhao Min's eyes were clear in black and white, and Qiu Shui's godlike eyes swept across Zhangbang Longtou's face. At this moment, he saw Zhuo Lingfeng stand up, his mood relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled slightly and said: "Zhuo's move has a purpose. Firstly, there are rules in the world, and martial arts has its own ways. After all, I was the one who provoked the Persian chief instructor. If I see that Zhang Wuji is not here, I will Seeing that Mingjiao is in ruins and making the whole world laugh, is this the work of my dignified beggar gang?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was born in the authentic Quanzhen Sect, and he was upright and aboveboard, and did not bother to add insult to injury; while the Beggar Clan was originally a rabble, and its reputation had declined in recent years. Even the four elders took advantage of the crisis and took advantage of the tithe.

But if there is an opportunity, there is no reason to let it go, so how can we fully understand Zhuo Lingfeng's profound meaning.

Zhang Bang Longtou said: "The gang leader said this, if Zhang Wuji doesn't come, you won't fight for the leadership of the martial arts alliance?"

Zhuo Lingfeng pretended not to hear, and continued: "As for letting the Persian Mingjiao stay to participate in the Heroes Conference, it's because Zhuo does have selfish motives.

There must be many people who will attack me personally and even our gang tomorrow as a sensitive Mongolian!

Therefore, I want to have foreign Hu people present to convey a message. We are fighting against the Hu people who are enemies of the Han people, not all the Hu people. I said this the day I took over as the gang leader. "

While speaking, Zhuo Lingfeng glanced at Zhao Min apologetically.

The disciples of the Beggar Clan were all silent. The only thing they were dissatisfied with Zhuo Lingfeng was his beauty.

Doesn’t Zhao Min look better?

Zhou Zhiruo is no worse than her!

Zhao Min felt quite awkward after hearing Zhangbang Longtou's words, but after hearing Zhuo Lingfeng's words, her heart suddenly felt relieved, full of sweet touches, but also happy and worried: "Brother Feng values ​​​​love and righteousness, and he is a good man who is upright and upright. . If you get a son-in-law like this, you will have no regrets in this life.

However, his mind is too righteous, he is arrogant, and he is aloof from the world. It is okay for him to sit in the Beggar Clan, but when he really steps into the chaos of fighting for world hegemony, he is a little out of place! "

Zhang Bang Long's neck was stiffened and he said loudly: "Whoever dares to criticize the gang leader regarding his wife, we will destroy him."

"Feng Longtou!" Zhangbo Longtou couldn't listen, "Who should I destroy?
Are you an elder of the gang, or are you an outsider? "

Zhangbang Longtou said angrily: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

Zhangbo Longtou said coldly: "The leader of the martial arts alliance is not only excellent in martial arts, but also in virtue. If there is any objection, he will be killed. Are we still a gang of beggars? This is worse than the Ming Cult in the past! Who can convince you?"

Zhangbang Longtou was startled: "Yes, yes, yes, this is what your old man said." He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhuo Lingfeng sighed, looked around, and said: "The main purpose of this hero conference is to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. It is a majestic formation. I am the leader of a gang and command tens of thousands of gangs. If I see gains and forget my loyalty, I will take advantage of the opportunity." When people are in danger, superiors and subordinates must follow suit. It’s okay if I can’t convince others. How can I revive the reputation of my beggar gang in the world?”

The elder Chuan Gong suddenly said: "Isn't the gang leader's words serious? What's wrong with the reputation of our beggar gang?"

Zhuo Lingfeng snorted coldly, his face was as dark as water, and he said in a cold and majestic voice: "When people talk about today's beggar gang, they all call it the best gang in the world, but in reality?
In the eyes of all the famous and upright people, he has become a low-ranking figure in the world. Everyone looks at him sideways and never looks at him seriously.

It's all because of past actions, which are contrary to morality as long as they are profitable.A little restraint leads to strife! "

Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes like lightning scanned the faces of these people for a week, and then said: "In the past, Fang Dongbai, the leader of the four elders, betrayed the gang, wasn't it because of a dispute with the leading elder present?

That day when the Mingjiao was besieged, the dignified Beggar Gang actually wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen. Although the profits were huge, it was morally wrong and was despised by the martial arts. If there was really any danger, who would be willing to help me, the Beggar Gang? "

Everyone in the Beggar Clan is facing each other face to face. The prestige of the Beggar Clan is no longer as good as it used to be. If Zhuo Lingfeng hadn't taken over as the leader of the Clan and done some earth-shattering things, it would have been reduced to nothing.

The law enforcement elder said coldly: "The gang leader is a bit alarmist. I have more than [-] disciples in the Beggar Gang. If there is really any danger, why do we need the help of outsiders?"

Zhuo Lingfeng chuckled: "More than [-] disciples?"

"What percentage of the more than [-] disciples are old, weak, women and children? How many percent are wealthy merchants who want to gain the blessing of the Beggar Clan?
Don't you know?It must be at least [-] to [-]%, right?
As for the remaining people, they are mixed, and their orders are unclear.A few months ago, I ordered all the Babou elders to rush to various places to rectify the gang affairs!
But more than four months later, what result have you come up with?
When we were eating together, it was noisy and noisy, just like always!

Seeing as everyone is in various places, it is rare to see them, and they are here to catch the wind for me. Everyone is happy, so that’s all!
But right now, everyone is discussing the important matters of the gang. The people from the Dirty Clothes Sect are sitting on the floor, and the people from the Pure Clothes Sect are sitting on chairs, clearly distinguishing each other, for fear that others will not know that you are you and I am me!

I don’t know whether you people are just sitting there, pretending to be deaf and dumb, or openly disobeying orders!

The most important thing is to hold a heroes conference this time, which is to fight against the Yuan and to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

It's just that the gang itself can't be integrated into one. Let alone a hundred thousand disciples, even if there are a million, it's just a piece of scattered sand. How can it compete with the Mongolian cavalry who have destroyed countless countries?

Even I, the gang leader, face the dispute between the two factions in my family, and I have to always think about the balance of the bowl of water, so as not to misunderstand which side I value. How much energy do I have to deal with foreign enemies? "

These words came out like a barrage of questions, and all the elders and helmsmen could not help but be speechless, or their faces turned red, or they lowered their heads in silence, each of them extremely frustrated.

Zhuo Lingfeng saw that everyone looked ashamed, took a step forward and said: "I was originally a wanderer in the world, and it happened to be the master of Jiejie. It was only then that I was recommended by the elders to lead this gang.

To be honest, I have no interest in the position of the leader of the gang at all. It is just a person's duty to do his best in his position!

However, the purpose of this Heroes Conference is not to show off one's power in the martial arts world, but to concern the world and hundreds of millions of people!I will let the world know today that the Holy Fire Order, a sacred object of Mingjiao, was taken away by my beggar gang in the past, and is in my hands again today. When I see Zhang Wuji, I will hand it back to him with my own hands.

Just by doing this, our Beggar Clan can establish its authority in the world and become famous all over the world!

Let every Beggar Clan disciple go out into the world without being looked down upon by others!
As for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, I can't take it away. It's such a big deal, I really haven't thought about it yet!
But even if I am determined to take it, I have to do it openly!

What I am thinking about is that I, Zhuo Lingfeng, will one day step down as gang leader or return to Jiuyou.

If you can reshape the character of our Beggar Clan and bring our Clan's reputation back to its past, and truly uphold the word "chivalry," we will make this martial arts comrade and world hero no longer dare to call him the best in the world. Gang, actually looked sideways at me, the Gang of Beggars!

It’s not in vain that I, Zhuo, am the gang leader this time, and this is also the reason why I want to take the lead in organizing this hero conference. Compared with winning the martial arts leader, overpowering the big sects such as Shaolin Wudang Mingjiao, standing upright is the way to go. The key to helping Jiao Ran gain a foothold in the world! "

These words were so heroic that the disciples of the Beggar Clan naturally heard that they were spoken from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone who listened was moved.

Zhao Min secretly felt sorry for her husband: "Oh, Brother Feng has good intentions, but it's a pity that the Beggar Clan has three religions and nine factions mixed together. It has accumulated disadvantages for decades. It has long been mainly about pursuing fame and fortune. I'm afraid all the efforts are in vain."

As long as Zhuo Lingfeng thinks about the original trajectory of the Beggar Gang capturing Zhou Zhiruo and threatening Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu, with the intention of threatening the Mingjiao Wudang and dominating the world, and even more so wanting the Mingjiao to conquer the world for them, it is both ridiculous and infuriating.

Still not much has changed. We only look at immediate benefits and are not aware of the fundamental problems at all.

Zhuo Lingfeng put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the entrance of the hall, saying: "That's it for today. If you feel that some of my orders are inconsistent with your order, you can leave this gang and find another place. In the village, it’s okay to recruit some people to open the mountain and set up cabinets!
If you all think that my personal integrity, Zhuo Lingfeng, is not worthy of my position, all the elders here can depose me, and Zhuo Lingfeng will turn around and leave without any complaints. "

Seeing that something was wrong, the elder Chuangong said hurriedly: "The gang leader's words are too serious. We have some differences of opinion, so why should we do this!"

As he spoke, Zhuo Lingfeng kept walking and had already left the hall.

Zhang Bang Longtou raised his neck and said loudly: "Since the founding of this gang, has there ever been a person like Gang Leader Zhuo? Who dares to say a useless word and take away Old Feng's life first?"

Zhangbo Longtou said calmly: "You were the one who questioned the gang leader's intentions in the first place, now you are the one who behaves here again!"

Zhangbang Longtou had a hot temper, and his eloquence was not as good as Zhangbo Longtou. He didn't know how to argue, so he could only stare at the other party angrily with his big eyes.

Suddenly I heard Zhao Min burst into laughter.Zhang Bang Longtou was already full of arrogance, so he responded angrily and shouted: "Madam, why are you laughing?"

Zhao Min said quietly: "My husband, a talented and beautiful man, fell into the mortal world by mistake. It is sad and deplorable. I, Zhao Min, have also made friends with you vulgar people. Isn't it ridiculous?"

As he spoke, the man had already left the hall.

Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min, one was handsome and handsome, the other was gorgeous, and their martial arts and intelligence were among the best among them. When everyone in the Beggar Clan compared with these two people, they were all despicable. When they heard these words, they immediately felt ashamed.

When Zhuo Lingfeng walked out of the hall, he saw the bright sun looming over his head. It was already early afternoon, so he walked towards the outside of the Beggar Clan's headquarters.

He walked slowly along and looked at the Beggar Clan disciples in the distance. All of them were busy preparing for the Heroes Conference, but they were all high-spirited. This made him feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

I saw a row of big trees half a mile away in the southwest and a piece of grass under the heavy shade.He walked slowly and lay quietly on the grass, looking at the white clouds in the sky, thinking a lot.

Not far away, Zhao Min swayed and walked slowly. He looked at Zhuo Lingfeng on the ground, then lay down and said, "When I returned to Mongolia with my father, I often lay on the grassland and looked at the sky. Liuyun, think about something quietly. Tell me what you felt just now. "

Zhuo Lingfeng sighed and said quietly: "Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, I feel very calm and think of the past!"

"Oh?"

“My journey through travel has been full of magic and also made me feel many hardships.

At that time, I had no relatives, but I met a kind-hearted person, and then I had the opportunity to become a disciple of my mentor and learn martial arts.

I always wanted to do good deeds and be a good person, but things always backfired. Even that kind man, I couldn't save him in the end. He and his wife still died! "

Seeing that he was sad, Zhao Min felt helpless when he thought about his own experience, and sighed: "Manpower is sometimes poor, so how can we do everything we want?"

I am arrogant and full of ambitions. I originally wanted to help my father to destroy your martial arts in the Central Plains, so that the Han people will no longer have a way to practice martial arts, so that my country in Yuan Dynasty can be as peaceful as Mount Tai.

But who would have thought that when I met you, I would not be as ambitious as you. Now, I don’t know if my father really wants to reap the benefits of others and raises troops to come, what will happen to me and what will happen to you! "

Zhuo Lingfeng hugged Zhao Min into his arms and said with a smile: "Minmin, you want to cut off the roots of martial arts among us Han people. There are so many people practicing martial arts in this world, but for countless years, those who can really How many people are successful in practice?
If you don't practice to the extreme, you will be killed sooner or later. Everyone knows this truth, but there are still so many people practicing martial arts, so what is their purpose?

Strengthen your body, seek fame and fortune, become a hero in the world, or pursue that elusive dream of immortality! "

Zhao Min looked at the sky, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has different dreams. No matter how difficult the road to martial arts is, the benefits it brings to those who practice martial arts are visible to the naked eye.

Some people are determined to be heroes in the world and benefit the people, so they practice martial arts in order to enhance their abilities and do great things for the country and the people, such as Guo Daxia!
Some people do it to satisfy their own selfish desires. By practicing martial arts, they can get the power they want and do what they want to do. This is called unrestrained and unrestrained, and it is also called wanton behavior!

There are also some people who are blind in their hearts. They just watch others practicing martial arts, so they follow them, or out of curiosity.

And you originally wanted to live forever, and there was no way to become an immortal, so you had to practice martial arts! "

At this point, he said carefully: "The reason why you are in trouble now is that everyone in the Beggar Clan is eagerly looking forward to the position of leader, and you are familiar with the original trajectory. You are afraid that if you become the leader, something will happen and you will be defeated by me." Under the iron hooves of Yuan, right?"

Zhuo Lingfeng sighed, if he had any regrets: "I really can't hide anything from you. Since ancient times, it has been difficult for saints and sages to do anything, and it has been difficult for good people.

With my own ability, it is easy to be a bad person who doesn't care, but I don't want to in my heart.

Now that the Heroes Conference is approaching again, everyone in the Beggar Clan hopes that I will seize the position of leader and help the Beggar Clan sweep away its decades of decline.

If it were just a fight for supremacy in the martial arts world, I would be the leader of the alliance, but this is a matter of anti-Yuan.

If I become the leader of the alliance, I will definitely lead the Beggar Clan. However, I know that there are some great talents in the Ming Cult who are rare to meet in a hundred years. They should be the main force in the fight against the Yuan Dynasty. If the Beggar Clan and the Ming Cult fall into a struggle for power, they may Missed something big.

If I don't fight for this alliance leader, the Beggar Clan has spent generations of financial resources and a lot of manpower and material resources, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for the Ming Cult? The ancestors of the Beggar Clan have spirits, I really don't know how they will blame me? "

Zhuo Lingfeng knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and others in the Ming Cult were all great talents. With the Ming Cult as the main body, they could expel the Tartars, but what about the Beggars?
Who knows what will happen?
Once you make a mistake in any aspect, you may become a national sinner!

Anyone who says that people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da can be replaced at will is pure nonsense and overestimates their capabilities!
The struggle for hegemony in the world never depends on the level of personal martial arts!
Zhao Min smiled and said: "I know you are afraid of this, so you are very angry with the Beggar Clan! If they were all people who achieved great things, you wouldn't be so entangled. You would seize the leader and let them do their work. That’s fine!”

Zhuo Lingfeng sighed: "That's true, but in the final analysis, the current beggar gang is just a mob. It's not enough to fight for supremacy in the world, let alone fight for hegemony in the world."

Zhao Min closed his eyes gently and said leisurely: "Everything goes well, why should you care too much?
You have learned from Taoism, which focuses on managing the body and keeping in good health, focusing on cultivating the atmosphere, nourishing the pure Qi, and being quiet and inactive.

You have cultivated Qi Qi enough, but when it comes to Qing Qi, you are far behind. Being too persistent is not a good thing! "

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled slightly and said: "Our Quanzhen religion is different from traditional Taoism. It not only teaches tranquility and indifference, but also has a clear mind and nature, which requires cultivation and commitment.

Therefore, my master originally wanted to train me to be a Taoist Taoist who could remain immobile in the face of any temptation, so that I could preach and protect the Dharma for my senior brother. The martial arts world is gone. "

At this point, he paused and said: "The reason why I repeatedly declined the position of leader of the Beggar Clan that day was because I knew that once I became the leader of the Beggar Clan, there would be some things that I couldn't escape from. I was prepared to say yes, which was why I couldn't. You should escape!”

There was a trace of contemplation in Zhao Min's eyes, as if she heard some other meaning from her husband's words.
