Chapter 51: Hengshan's Returning Goose Tower

  Hengshan City, the core area of Hengshan School, one of the Five Mountains Sword Schools. As a legendary sect that can be counted on one's fingers in Jianghu, its influence is enormous and it is one of the most famous martial arts holy lands in Jianghu, gathering a large population and being extremely lively.

  The Huiyan Building is luxuriously decorated, magnificent and atmospheric. It's the largest and most famous top-class restaurant in Hengshan City, always crowded with people, often fully booked and unable to get a seat. The entire building is divided into two floors, the first floor is the main hall, ordinary rooms, many Jianghu people gather here to drink and chat, discussing Jianghu gossip and rumors. The second floor is the elegant room, bright windows, comfortable and elegant, only small-name Jianghu heroes have the qualifications to go up.

  Linghu Chong looked up at the golden signboard with the words "Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dancing" in bold relief, and couldn't help but feel a sense of shame when he thought about his own poor calligraphy skills. Among the Huashan Sect disciples, except for Lao Denuo's elegant running script, everyone else, including Linghu Chong, had terrible handwriting that resembled twisted melons and cracked dates - all of them were clumsy and unrefined. Because of this, Yue Buqun, who was normally very composed, had flown into a rage several times and almost used his whip to beat them to death.

  "It's not entirely the student's fault that their handwriting is poor, after all, who made our calligraphy teacher a martial arts instructor?" Thinking back to Yue Buqun's furious expression at the time, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel secretly amused.

  "Get out of here, you beggar! Go somewhere else to beg for food. Don't block the entrance of our wine shop and interfere with our business."

  Not far away, a small second in a Huiyan Building store scolded a middle-aged man with slightly wet clothes loudly.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? You're running a business here, aren't you? Why can't I go in?" The middle-aged man seemed to be here for the first time and was quite surprised at the waiter's impolite attitude, saying discontentedly.

  "We're going to the Wild Goose Tower, it's the highest-end wine tower in Hengshan City, not just anyone can get in. You look like a beggar with your messy hair and stinky clothes, can you even afford the wine?"

  The young shop assistant at Huiyan Building was not tall, but he had a sharp tongue and keen observational skills, and was also a very clever fellow. He had made many contributions to Huiyan Building, intercepting numerous down-and-out beggars who tried to sneak in for free food and drink. As a result, he had developed a habit of judging people by their appearance.

  But this unfamiliar middle-aged man was also elegant and dignified, yet not like ordinary people. However, the smell of fish and stench on his body covered everything up, and the shopkeeper thought he was just a fallen noble who had recently become a new beggar on the streets.

  Linghu Cong's sharp eyes saw that this refined and elegant middle-aged man had extraordinary martial arts skills, but what was even more surprising was that such a top master was misunderstood by an ordinary shopkeeper, yet he didn't get angry or take action to kill the offender. Instead, he seriously debated with the shopkeeper, showing that this man had a sincere heart.

  "Hey, innkeeper! How can you be so rude to customers? I've paid for this gentleman's food and wine. Take him upstairs and serve him well." Linghu Chong tossed a few pieces of silver to the shop assistant, nodded at the middle-aged man, and then went in alone.

  The shopkeeper had never been one to haggle over money, and immediately changed his attitude after receiving Linghu Cong's silver, respectfully leading the middle-aged man to a luxurious private room on the second floor for dinner.

  The young man smiled gently and didn't mind, following the shopkeeper to the second floor. His name was Qu Yunyang, originally a high-ranking member of the Dayue God Sect, with unparalleled martial arts skills, but he had a deep love for music and shared similar interests with Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan School, becoming close friends.

  This time, Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in the golden basin. He was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to him, so he quietly went down the Black Wood Cliff and came to Hengshan to secretly assist. However, good and evil cannot coexist, and the Dayue Shenjiao is called a demonic sect by the righteous people of Jianghu. His identity is special and it's not convenient for him to reveal his true self, so he disguised himself.

  Unfortunately, he was so absorbed in thought when he went out this morning that a fish vendor splashed dirty water on him. Although he was annoyed, he wouldn't lower his dignity to hit the vendor, but only scolded him a few words and told him to be careful next time.

  Qu Yang, although not a god of light and righteousness, has extraordinary martial arts skills, yet he never kills innocent people or bullies women and children. On the contrary, he is a noble and elegant gentleman with an extraordinary demeanor. This alone is enough to shame those self-proclaimed righteous gentlemen who always speak of morality and chivalry but are actually hypocritical.

  Linghu Cong rushed along, eating wind and sleeping in dew, originally wanting to eat and drink a lot, but unexpectedly saw two familiar figures as soon as he stepped onto the second floor.

  "Haha, Yilin young master, look at your frail appearance now. It's because your blood and energy have not been replenished for a long time. Today, Tian Boguang is treating you to wine and meat, so nourish yourself properly."

  This lewd laughter and lustful tone actually belongs to Tian Boguang, the dual master of female physiology and psychology in the world of Laughing in the Wind.

  "No, no! Master said it's sour and the meat is smelly!" Little nun Yi Lin covered her ears, shaking her head vigorously and shouting loudly.

  "Ah~~ That's your master deceiving you, the wine is sweet and the meat is fragrant." Tian Boguang picked up a piece of chicken and put it to Yilin's mouth, seeing the little nun pouting with her small mouth tightly closed, he could only place it in the small bowl in front of her.

  "Your master said the wine is sour and the meat is smelly. I ask you, has your master ever drunk wine or eaten meat? No, right? If she hasn't had them before, how does she know they're sour and smelly?" Tian Boguang was also frustrated by the naive little nun Yilin, so he could only share his years of experience and insight: "Your master may be a nun, but after all, she's still a woman. As for who understands women's hearts best in this world, I'm second to none. I'll tell you, when a woman says no, it means yes!"

  Once again hearing Tian Boguang's unique and profound words, Lin Pingzhi couldn't remain calm, directly walking to the table of the two men, without greeting them, and plopping himself down on a stool. He poured himself a large cup of fine wine from the jug, drained it in one gulp, then turned to Tian Boguang and said: "I say, Brother Tian, you really are incorrigible, having brought back another little nun from Mount Heng's sect. Are you thinking of making another scene like at the wedding?"

  That night, in the bridal chamber, Tian Boguang's skin crawled at the sight of the extremely fat and ugly woman. He gritted his teeth and said: "Linghu Chong, how can you be so infuriating? I treated you like a brother, yet you actually brought this fat woman to ruin my good fortune."

  "Brother Tian, how can you also become so vulgar? That Zhu Cuihua is a naturally talented and extraordinary woman, full of inner beauty. I was just trying to help you out with good intentions." Leng Feng's face broke into a sly smile, his eyebrows dancing with excitement.

  "Hmph, no more nonsense! This time I won't fall for your tricks again. Little nun, you're mine now, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she can't escape my grasp. What can you do about it?"

  Perhaps it was the shadow left in his heart by that mountain-like body that was too deep, Tian Boguang's emotions were stirred up and he lost his usual demeanor.

  "In that case, there's nothing more to say. I absolutely won't watch as my junior sister from the Mount Hua School is humiliated by you." Linghu Chong slammed his hand on the table and stood up loudly saying, "Last time we didn't finish fighting, today let's fight another 100 rounds."

  "This tone? When did Commander Ling Hu change his title, but this title is indeed majestic and domineering. It's like my elegant and refined demeanor, each has its own merits, not to be compared with others." Tian Bo Guang didn't rush to take action, instead he was somewhat curious.

  Linghu Cong let out a cold snort, not responding. In his heart, he was also filled with blood and tears. At first, he called himself "Ben Shao Ye", but later felt it was too childish and weak, so he changed to calling himself "Ben Gong Zi". It turned out that this elegant and pretentious title still needed some ink to embellish it, but his language skills in his past life were taught by a physical education teacher, which didn't adapt well. He had no choice but to give up.

  Finally, he called himself "Lao Zi", which was straightforward and refreshing. But then he encountered several groups of mountain bandits on the way, each claiming to be "Lao Zi". This thoroughly infuriated him - did he have to be like his master, Junzi Jian? His master had called himself "Yue Mou", which sounded cultured, but Linghu Chong was a double surname, so should he call himself "Linghu Mou"? He spat out a mouthful of blood.

  He recalled the many classics he had read on Qidian, and suddenly had an epiphany. After much deliberation, he decided to call himself "Ben Zu", powerful and domineering, without needing to be overly refined or elegant with his words, it was the most fitting title, and so this name was decided upon.
