Chapter 243: Shan Tianlu Who Concealed It
Yan Ruyu listened to Shan Tianlu talk about the past and present life of the Golden Dragon Pavilion, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
It turns out that this inconspicuous-looking, even a little embarrassed, Golden Dragon Pavilion has experienced so many winds and waves in history!
Although it is now in decline, there is still a sense of pride and loyalty in their bones.
Just twenty years ago, they were still swearing to defend the long-lost treasures of the gang for the sake of their loyalty in their bones.
Shan Tianlu said that in addition to them, there is also a gang that has not been confused by rumors, and does not hesitate to resist the world and protect the treasure.
Yan Ruyufa said that he was afraid that he would be like Emperor Chongzhen, and he would not be able to revive the past style of the Golden Dragon Pavilion, but would insult the reputation of the Golden Dragon Pavilion.
One sentence exposed her duplicity, and also made Zhang Shanfeng laugh.
"What's the matter, you have a lot of ambitions, you said you don't want to be the master of this pavilion, but now you think about these things that don't matter!" Zhang Shanfeng quipped.
"Hmph, please pay attention to the tone of your voice with the pavilion master!" Yan Ruyu said pretending to be angry.
"Hey, that's right! Just now you said that there is another gang like your Golden Dragon Pavilion, defending that token?What is the name of that gang?" Zhang Shanfeng originally listened carefully, but was interrupted by Yan Ruyu before, Zhang Shanfeng had been curious about this question, and quickly looked at Shan Tianlu and asked.
"That gang is called Phoenix City, but their purpose is different from ours, they don't know when they got the jade pendant and map, and they regard that token as the treasure of the city-state! And I don't know why they offended each other, so the various sects are hostile to them, because the jade pendant that is regarded as an evil thing is their holy relic!!" Shan Tianlu said with a slight frown.
"Phoenix, what are they doing, a cult?" Yan Ruyu asked curiously.
"It's not a cult, they are similar in nature to our Golden Dragon Pavilion and Longgong Island, they are composed of merchants and believers who are engaged in business trading, and they are good at collecting some mineral treasures and mysterious objects, in today's words, they are actually antique dealers. The city lord advocates martial arts, so many believers also follow the cultivation and practice martial arts, and do not communicate with the outside world, and they do not participate in the exchanges of the major gangs, so everyone always feels that they are mysterious and unpredictable in Phoenix City. ”
"The business done in Phoenix City is quite similar to our family!" Yan Ruyu whispered.
"Then what happened later? How did you lose the Golden Dragon Pavilion? What happened to Phoenix City? Did the jade pendant be destroyed?" Zhang Shanfeng then asked.
"Later, the owner of the Golden Dragon Pavilion was bent on pursuing the whereabouts of the jade pendant, which caused the brothers in the pavilion to be dissatisfied, and many of the industries in their hands were operating at a loss......
"Phoenix City is even more miserable, the city lord has betrayed his relatives, his own daughters have left him, the believers have been displaced, and the jade pendant and the map are missing...... Those who lived through that catastrophe believed that the jade pendant was the most evil thing, and that it would make the owner not die well......"
"Do you also believe that the fate of your Golden Dragon Pavilion and that Phoenix City was changed by that jade pendant?" Zhang Shanfeng looked at Shan Tianlu and asked.
"I've said so much, don't you think that's the case?" Shan Tianlu looked at Zhang Shanfeng's eyes and asked rhetorically.
Zhang Shanfeng groaned and did not answer, but Yan Ruyu summarized the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"Yes, the jade pendant first appeared in the Ming Dynasty during the fall of the Ming Dynasty, in the hands of the fourth prince of Zhu, the fourth prince of Zhu was lucky not to die, fled from the capital, and lived incognito. Yan Ruyu speculated seriously.
"If there is no false accusation, it will not be accused, and Kangxi will be beheaded all over the house! However, the fourth prince of Zhu was arrested, and the jade pendant was missing, and even the Golden Dragon Pavilion that protected him did not know the whereabouts of the jade pendant, isn't it strange?"
Yan Ruyu asked rhetorically, but she didn't wait for others to answer and continued.
"But the jade pendant reappeared in the indisputable Phoenix City, it can easily cause a bloody storm again, regardless of the truth of that rumor, as the so-called no wind and no waves, it must be said that it is an evil thing, and it is not wronged. Yan Ruyu gave a conclusion.
"Ruyu summed it up correctly, but ...... Is it really that simple for your Golden Dragon Pavilion Pavilion Master to desperately protect the jade pendant? If that jade pendant has a great relationship with you, if you don't destroy it, that's it, why bother to cause the sect to wither because of protecting it?" Zhang Shanfeng asked.
He looked at Shan Tianlu with a smile, the so-called chivalrous heart that Shan Tianlu talked about, in Zhang Shanfeng's eyes, there were too many unreasonable places.
"This ...... It's just that the ancestor of the jade pendant is grateful to me for the Golden Dragon Pavilion, so I can't bear to see it ruined......" Shan Tianlu also explained with some hesitation, and he didn't seem to be able to explain it very clearly.
"The grace of knowing the encounter, that was hundreds of years ago, right?" Zhang Shanfeng then asked.
"Almost......" Shan Tianlu said.
"Would anyone give up the peaceful life in front of them because of a grudge hundreds of years ago? If so, should the benefactor be captured hundreds of years ago, should he defend it to the death, instead of hiding and dying without help?" Zhang Shanfeng continued to ask.
"Ancestors, they also have bitter ......," Shan Tianlu replied hesitantly.
"Hey, I said big brother, do you have any sympathy? The experience of others is already miserable enough, and besides, you have paid such a heavy price for Yu Pei, why are you still entangled in other people's intentions?
When she saw that Shan Tianlu was speechless when asked by Zhang Shanfeng, she couldn't help but feel compassion, women, always love to sympathize with the weak.
Zhang Shanfeng looked at her, smiled, ignored her, and continued to ask Shan Tianlu instead: "You also said that the jade pendant is not only a token, it is also a key, and there is also a treasure map, just afraid that if you get them, you can get a huge amount of treasures in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
“…… What is the most evil thing in this world? It's just that people die for money, and birds die for food!" Zhang Shanfeng added coldly.
After Zhang Shanfeng finished speaking, his face was cold, as if he was tired of these struggles caused by interests, and his heart was like water at the moment, and he got up and was about to leave.
Thinking of his Zhang family, for the sake of wealth, framed and persecuted, separated flesh and blood, his father is not like his father, and his brother is not like a brother!
However, the same is true of people in the world, for the sake of money, they blame each other, and in the end they always blame their failures on some "evil thing", "demon girl", "red face and trouble" and the like.
Think about the dynasties and dynasties, when the monarch died in the country, he had to find a beautiful woman as a scapegoat, Daji, Bao Xi, Xi Shi, Yang Guifei......
Shan Tianlu in front of him, the jade pendant he said is even more ridiculous, just imagine who can be stupid enough to be led by the nose by a stone, not greedy enough?
Hearing Zhang Shanfeng say this, Shan Tianlu's face was embarrassed, he glanced at Yan Ruyu, and then looked at Zhang Shanfeng, seeing that he was leaving, Shan Tianlu was a little anxious.
"Brother Zhang, please stay!" he anxiously called to Zhang Shanfeng.
Zhang Shanfeng stopped and didn't look back.
At this moment, he doesn't care about this so-called benevolent, righteous and moral Golden Dragon Pavilion at all, the past is gone, and no one can change whether the public is unfair or not.
It's just that this incident made him feel that his Zhang family wants to calm down the struggle, only he is stronger, and he doesn't want to participate in those gang fights!
"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, it's just that the seniors did something wrong, I don't want to accuse, what you said is right, things are indeed not as simple as I said......"
