Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 78 Reputation
The bright sunshine broke through the clouds of smoke on the Five Gods Peak.

The golden light spread across the vast land, and the wild geese flying high in the sky on Huiyan Peak lowered their heads and looked curiously at the lively and thunderous Hengyang City below.

Which teahouse or wine shop in Hengyang City is not crowded with people at that time?
The storytellers and tea doctors all had red faces and thick necks. No matter whether they were martial artists, merchants from the north and south, or travelers who stopped to rest, they asked questions one after another. Many of them were generous and wanted to know the latest news from the well-informed tea doctors.

"Have fun! The Hengshan faction led all the martial arts heroes to attack Shajiao Island overnight, and hundreds of island bandits were wiped out overnight! Hahaha, these bastards of bandits died well! They died well!!"

"Leader Shang said it himself, the head of the Hengshan faction, Zhao Shaoxia, led a night attack and killed Cui Yunjiang, the leader of the Haisha Gang, with one sword. This guy who caused trouble is finally dead. It's time to hang his head on the city gate tower and expose it to the sun. Relieve hatred!"

"It is said that Cui Yunjiang is a martial arts master!"

Someone opened his coat and shouted: "It doesn't matter if he is a master, can he be Zhao Shaoxia's opponent?!"

"Some time ago, there were rumors that there was no one in the leader's line. Damn it! Do you still have the nerve to say this now?"

"..."

In the tea shed, a businessman who often walked on Tanshui burst into tears on the spot after hearing the news. He patted his thigh and the tea table, and shouted excitedly to his companions:
"Every time I cross a pond, I'm not afraid of running into a bandit and risking my life."

"These people who killed a thousand swords are finally dead!"

"Yeah!"

"Let's go and have a drink. Young Master Zhao will get rid of the harm for us. It's time to show off!"

"Okay, I won't come back until I get drunk!"

……

Hengyang City goes back to Yanlou.

In the past, under the mahogany chandelier in the courtyard and pavilion in the building, there were always two beauties playing the harp and flute next to the illustrated plum vase. Today, they have become storytellers. They are not talking about "morality, three emperors and five emperors, fame after Xia, Shang and Zhou", but It was the battle on Shajiao Island last night!

The restaurant guests all stared intently, and many people leaned on the fence and listened carefully, for fear of missing the details.

The storyteller, dressed as a scholar and holding a folding fan in his hand, seemed to have witnessed it with his own eyes. When he talked about the crimes of the island bandits, he gritted his teeth instantly, became passionate when he talked about killing the bandits, and burst into tears when he mentioned the casualties.

The diners learned from his mouth how ferocious the island bandits on Shajiao Island were. Many martial arts people from Hengzhou Prefecture and soldiers sent by the government were killed or injured.

Especially the lineage of the head of Hengshan!
The disciples from Hengshan who were responsible for eliminating harm for the Hengzhou Prefecture this time were all disciples of the head of the inner and outer sects. Neither Liu Sanye nor Lu Lianrong's disciples participated.

The storyteller who returned to Yanlou kept 'emphasizing':
"It is said that Mr. Mo Da's second disciple was hit with a knife in the back and a palm in the chest. He almost died. Many inner and outer disciples also died under the sect. It was really a heavy loss."

"Fortunately, the headmaster personally told Zhao Rong that Shaoxia Zhao was very powerful in martial arts, and he could fight six masters in black with one man! No one in the martial arts community lit a torch that night. It is said that the night light shone on Shaoxia Zhao's sword, and he lit up most of the island with his sword light!"

"It is rumored that the Shajiao Island bandits are in collusion with the Demon Sect, and the passing Songshan disciples also came to help. Unfortunately, like many disciples of the leader's lineage who died, those Songshan disciples also died under the sword of the master of the Demon Sect."

"Mr. Mo Da, the leader of Hengshan Mountain, and his master and apprentice Zhao Shaoxia chased him for hundreds of miles, crossed rivers and ridges, and chased them all the way to Ji'an Mansion. They finally killed the Demon Sect demon to avenge them!"

"..."

"Okay~!!"

Many diners on the Huiyan Upstairs cheered loudly, many of them drank from large bowls of wine excitedly, and threw rewards towards the storyteller.

Several martial artists in the second floor seats looked remorseful. They just wished they were a step too late to catch up with last night's battle on Shajiao Island. However, I heard that the Hengshan faction was hunting down a few fleeing island bandits, so I immediately left the restaurant with knives and guns, hoping to join in the fun.

There are also outspoken people who slap themselves in the face to repent:

"I actually said those nonsense and sarcastic words at the end of the year. Damn it! Those who stand up for Hengzhou Mansion are still from the head of the family!"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Mo Da is not obsessed with the power of the big factions. He always performs chivalry and justice in Hengzhou Prefecture. No wonder he accepted Shao Xia Zhao as his apprentice. It turns out he is also a respectable young hero!"

"Whoever makes a sarcastic comment about the leader's lineage in the future is overheard by me, and I will just kick him in the face."

Even some calm and calm people in the world agree:
"Yes, what the leader does is really the style of a famous sect. Shajiao Island has become a climate. If the masters of the big sect don't take action, we don't know how long it will be troublesome."

Some residents of Hengyang were also happy:
"There is no doubt that the next generation leader of the Hengshan Sect will be Zhao Shaoxia. With such a leader, everyone's life will be more peaceful!"

……

In less than a day, the news of the destruction of Shajiao Island had spread throughout Hengyang, and quickly spread to surrounding areas with merchants.

The prestige of the leader of Hengshan has greatly increased. Now who hears this and doesn't scream?

The reputation of Zhao Rong and Zhao Shaoxia has amazed many people in the martial arts world.

It was only mid-afternoon when Feng Qiaoyun, Quan Ziju, Lu Songfeng and others returned to Luosu Wharf from Anren. They personally felt the completely different atmosphere on the wharf.

It seemed that everyone's pace had slowed down a lot. Some porters and brokers leaned against the dike and pointed in the direction of Shajiao Island, talking excitedly and occasionally sighing. There were traces of firecrackers on the roadside, and people were seen wrapping their heads in white cloth and burning paper to commemorate the dead by the river.

There was crying and laughter, sadness and sighing.

But most people's expressions are relaxed and comfortable.

"May I ask, are you a disciple of Hengshan?" Some Jianghu people at the dock took the initiative to greet him with their hands.

Lu Songfeng responded casually: "Exactly."

At this time, everyone saw that there were many blood stains on their clothes. Some injured disciples were being supported by fellow students or carried on the door panels. Everyone near the dock showed enthusiasm.

Someone asked respectfully: "Are you Mr. Mo Da's disciple?"

"That's right," Quan Ziju explained simply, "We have just eliminated the island bandits who fled to Anren and are about to return to the mountain gate."

The people around him suddenly stood in awe, and words of praise came one after another.

"It turns out he is a hero from the lineage of the leader of Hengshan!"

"I have admired you for a long time!"

"You have done a great thing for Hengyang!"

"I admire you, Shajiao Island was destroyed well!"

"..."

There were already a lot of people on the pier, but after such a commotion, people rushed forward one after another. Lu Songfeng, Xi Mushu and other disciples were treated with unprecedented courtesy.

In all these years, the Initiate has never been so popular.

Especially the praises from some people in the world. In the past, the third master's lineage was always praised. How could the leader's lineage have such a reputation today?

"May I ask if Young Master Zhao is here?" Someone looked among the Hengshan disciples, but did not see the rumored young man.

Feng Qiaoyun smiled and wrote lightly: "Senior brother has gone to chase the masters of the Demon Cult and has not returned yet."

As soon as this statement came out, people in the surrounding martial arts community started talking a lot.

Look, the master of hunting down the Demon Cult!

As expected of the headmaster!

There were also disciples in the leader's line who were injured, but Quan Ziju and others did not delay at the dock.

But what they saw and heard in this short period of time really touched a few people.

Everyone's hearts, which were about to fall silent, are alive again.

Looking back on this period of time, the leader's lineage has undergone tremendous changes.

The dark clouds that hang overhead every New Year are about to dissipate.

Now that the senior brother is here, Qingtian will be the leader of the clan.

……

Towards evening, another big news broke in Hengyang City.

It turns out that Shajiao Island is also closely related to the "Changrui Escort Massacre" in Le'an.

What does this mean?
The Changrui Escort Bureau was a subordinate force of Liu Sanye. At that time, Sanye's lineage had been avoiding the edge of the escort robbers.

Judging from the feedback from many martial arts people, the island bandits on Shajiao Island are indeed fierce and have many masters.

Liu Mansion's avoidance was justified.

But now
Things that the Liu family dare not take care of, the head of the family dares to take care of!
People whom the third master dare not kill,

Zhao Shaoxia dares to kill!

Fighting island bandits at night, chasing down the demon sect,

This is the master's personal biography!
