Chapter Eighty-Five: The Anecdotes of Abbot Mountain
The wind is light and the clouds are light, the sea and the sky are vast, and the sea is as black as ink, a huge sea ship is moving slowly, and the Lingyang is very lively, and the merchants on the ship, the crew, and the escort team are all toasting and celebrating, celebrating the great disaster of this trip, and also want to take this opportunity to completely vent the previous fear and depression.
On the bow deck, Zhao Ziyi and Fuli Ping are talking about wine, the two have the same temperament and similar age, but they have known each other for a day and feel more cordial, as if they have known each other in general, Fuli Ping appreciates his personality and recognizes his strength, Zhao Ziyi admires his experience and admires his pride.
Fang Qin and Zhang Ling stood aside and chatted, but Fang Qin's eyes drifted to Zhao Ziyi from time to time, as if he originally looked plain, but now in her eyes became more and more handsome and charming, more and more different.
Zhao Ziyi was originally a native of Qingzhou Plain City, his family was poor since he was a child, his parents knew etiquette, although he was poor in his childhood, but he read countless books, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and showed a talent beyond ordinary people, at the age of sixteen, he was already known in the Plains City.
In front of those gentry sons and young masters, Zhao Ziyi is just a poor person, even if he is outstanding in martial arts, he has only just come of age, which of the soldiers in their family is not stronger than Zhao Ziyi, especially Zhao Ziyi offended the Shentu clan, which is now a family that is shocked by three points when he stomps his feet in Qingzhou. Naturally, he couldn't escape the situation of being suppressed, humiliated, and bullied, and the brothers he had helped with righteousness were all far away, because they couldn't afford to provoke the Shentu family, so they left him.
And in the end, it was the eldest lady of the Huangfu clan, Huangfu Xun, who came forward to help him settle everything, out of appreciation for Zhao Ziyi, righteousness, and young talent, she couldn't bear to let him fall, and she was disgusted by the domineering behavior of the Shentu clan, so she came forward to keep him safe. Since then, Zhao Ziyi has become a member of the Huangfu clan, and the eldest lady Huangfu Xun is also very important to him, promoting him step by step, reusing him, and now he has entered the Huangfu clan for less than ten years, and has become the captain of the Lingyang escort team, so he can be said to be loyal and conscientious to the Huangfu clan.
Fu Liping is from Taixue Xuange Butang, he is the eldest disciple of Qin Lingxin, the master of Butang, and his proud protΓ©gΓ©, he grew up in Butang since he was a child, and very few people know his life experience, and he also avoids talking about it. As for Fang Qin, she is Qin Lingxin's niece and Butang's junior sister, and it is not that she is young, but that she is the latest to get started. Zhang Ling is a female disciple who started earlier, but her personality is a bit neutral, she often puts on a cold face, and she ignores everyone, but she is the most convinced of her senior brother, that is, Fu Liping.
Zhao Ziyi asked curiously: "Dare to ask Brother Fu, why are you going to the Abbot Mountain?!" If there is anything you need help with, you can tell me that you will do your best. β
Fu Liping waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, we are purely going to play, it just so happens that the little junior sister has not been there, I want to go over there to have a look, my senior brother is to accompany the guard, and the duty is the same as you, hahaha!"
Fang Qinqiao snorted coldly: "Senior brother, you know how to arrange me!"
Zhao Ziyi replied with a smile: "Brother Fu, this is a joke of me! Then you go to play, you must not walk around, Abbot Mountain has been going to play for some reason recently, and the defense is particularly strict, except for the area that is usually open to business travelers, all other places are strictly forbidden to enter." It is said that dozens of people have accidentally walked into their forbidden place, and all of them have been decapitated. β
Fu Liping was surprised when he heard this: "There is such a thing? Do you know the specific situation? You can tell me in detail." Fang Qin and Zhang Ling, who were standing on the side, pricked up their ears, extremely curious about this matter, and wanted to know what the situation was.
Zhao Ziyi recalled for a moment, and said slowly: "About half a year ago, Abbot Mountain changed from the original open and free, to enter and exit need to be checked, and on the island, a lot of forbidden areas were set up, without the permission of Abbot Mountain, it is not allowed to enter it, otherwise it will be killed. At first, no one believed it, but then more than a dozen people died, and finally everyone was timid, and no one dared to set foot in those forbidden areas again. β
"But one after another, every month, a few people will take risks, and the result is the same, and they die not long after entering, all of them in different places. A while ago, I heard that more than a dozen people broke into the forbidden area of Abbot Mountain at the same time, and they stayed in it for a long time, as if they had spent a night, but when they found it the next morning, they were also in a different place, and none of them came out alive. β
Fu Liping was silent when he heard this, he fell into deep thought, it seems that the information of Abbot Mountain is not wrong, according to Zhao Ziyi's description, the dozen or so who entered the forbidden land at the same time should be the disciples sent by Bu Tang, they are really wiped out, but what is in those forbidden places? They can be regarded as the elite disciples of Bu Tang, although their strength is not as good as their own, but they are also the best among their peers, they were killed so easily, what happened to them? More than a dozen people were killed at the same time? Could it be that the masters of Abbot Mountain made a move?! There are too many doubts, and it seems that this trip needs to be cautious.
Fang Qin walked over and asked curiously, "Captain Zhao, where did you know this information?!"
Zhao Ziyi turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Miss Fang, as the captain of the Lingyang's escort, I have to go back and forth by sea three to five times a month, and the new things that the business travelers who come and go can easily spread to me, even if I don't ask, there are a bunch of people saying in front of me every day, so I naturally know a rough idea, but I don't know the situation in too much detail." β
Fang Qin replied with a smile: "I see, Captain Zhao still cares so much about the people's feelings!"
Zhao Ziyi shook his head and said: "Miss Fang laughed, I am mainly as the captain of the escort team of the Lingyang, and I need to understand the situation of the sea route, and even more importantly, I need to understand the situation of the Zhangshan Mountain, after all, I can't take the business travelers to death! β
Fu Liping said with deep agreement: "Captain Zhao is right, as the captain of the escort team of the sea ship, you must know yourself and your opponent, otherwise every trip will happen to the sea beast attack like yesterday, and the Lingyang will have no business for a long time." β
Zhao Ziyi remembered the battle yesterday, and was really shocked: "Yes, I used to go back and forth several times a month, and I have never encountered such a powerful Abyssal Sea Overlord, it's really strange, how could a sea beast of this level suddenly appear?! β
Fu Liping seemed to know this eldest lady, and sighed: "Huangfu Kaoru, the eldest lady of the Huangfu clan, is an amazing girl!"
Zhao Ziyi nodded seriously: "That's right, the eldest lady is knowledgeable, knows how to use people, rewards and punishments are moderate, and it is precisely because of her existence that the Huangfu clan will not be bullied by the Shentu clan." It's amazing!"
When Fang Qin heard this, she instantly felt a sour feeling in her heart, who is this eldest lady of the Huangfu clan? She can actually be praised by the senior brother, and what makes her even more unhappy is that even Zhao Ziyi admires her so much. I'm going to meet you.
