Chapter 15: Losing Jade
Since ancient times, the story of the ranger has always been indispensable. There will also be some rumors of chivalry and martial artists on the streets, but Zhu Yan is not a native of Daxia, and she always has a feeling that she is out of place, so she only thinks that those things are just chasing after the wind.
It should be impossible for characters like those in novels written by martial artists in later generations to appear. Zhu Yan doesn't understand this thing of internal strength. But I always feel that people who know martial arts will not rot the street.
However, Zhu Yan doesn't understand, but he can also ask others.
Lin Qin and Shopkeeper Lin were not free, Lin Qin was dealing with the pair of swordsmen, and Shopkeeper Lin just brought toiletries to take a bath. There were not many people around the campfire, and although Zhu Yan felt a little hot, it was still okay to stay away, and she was a little depressed when she hid in the carriage alone.
It just so happened that next to Zhu Yan was Lin San, who had spoken a few words to her before. She doesn't know the specific name, but she is still more polite.
"Third brother, do you know what the situation of those two swordsmen is? I've never heard of it! ”
Lin San was about twenty years old, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and he was lying on the grass with one foot on the other, and he was shaking from time to time.
After listening to Zhu Yan's question, she couldn't help but look at Lin Qin and the two of them, and couldn't help but "cut" it.
"You little girl, you are so ignorant, what do these things have to do with you as a weak woman, so curious. You need to know that curiosity kills cats! ”
Zhu Yan was a little unhappy when he heard him say this, isn't this cold mixed with her, and she is not a real little girl, doesn't she just want to know about the current situation in the rivers and lakes?
She pursed her face: "Third brother, you are really unkind." You see that I follow Sister Qin every day, and you still don't tell me a little news. When the time comes, I can say a few nice words to Sister Qin. ”
Lin San snorted and said, "Listen, is this what a little girl should say?"
Zhu Yan glared at him, knowing that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he liked to say something to tease her the most. So just look at him with a pair of burning eyes.
The night sky was not bright, only the light of the campfire shone on her face, showing a brilliant light.
Lin San glanced at this girl who had not yet grown up completely, and pouted, still thinking that even if she grew up, she would not be as beautiful as Lin Qin. In order to prevent Zhu Yan from suing the black, he also told what he knew.
It turns out that the current rivers and lakes are much different from the previous dynasty. The reason is that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lu Taizu used a large number of people from the rivers and lakes. The country is dying, and the symptoms of troubled times are also very conspicuous.
Many of those people were also outlaws in the rivers and lakes, but after all, they still had good hearts and couldn't bear to see their compatriots and friends being bullied and killed by dog officials. Therefore, Lu Taizu had not made much achievements at that time, but he still attracted a large number of people to vote.
Lu Taizu was also helpless at that time, and he was at a time when there was no one in his hands. Those who claim to be working for the welfare of the people on the righteous path are very likely to collude with officials and businessmen, and sometimes they will pretend to be bandits and absorb the people's fat and ointment under the collusion of officials.
Of course, later Lu Taizu also tasted the disadvantages of indiscriminately using people in the rivers and lakes. Later, those people, relying on their own merits, went to do the evil deeds that had been inflicted on their relatives and friends in the past. Lu Taizu learned from the pain, so he was strict and purged, not afraid that he would be saddled with the notoriety of being mean and unkind, and wanted to attack those people.
But Lu Taizu has a good brother who is friends of life and death, and he admires Lu Taizu's personality very much, knowing that he is actually very compassionate in his heart, and if he wants to do this kind of thing, he must be the most uncomfortable. So he took over this errand from Lu Taizu and persuaded Lu Taizu, who was ready to only punish the evil, to kill in the capital. Because the country is stable, some bad habits in the past have a tendency to resurge, and if we don't take advantage of this wind to suppress some of them, I am afraid that the new dynasty built by Lu Taizu will fall to the same level as before in a few years.
This good brother was also a well-known good hand in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, he killed the rivers and lakes where he was born. There are even those on the rivers and lakes who call him the living king of Hades. The real Hades may not be scary, but the living Hades are creepy.
For several years, the rivers and lakes were discolored. Yes, this friend of Lu Taizu is surnamed Xue.
The name of this King Xue Yan has not spread to everyone anyway, but he is the first on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes made by people who do good things in the rivers and lakes.
Even if he is now immortal, the rivers and lakes don't dare to have too much disrespect for him. Even if there is, he only dares to whisper in his heart, but he does not dare to show it. Back then, this surnamed Xue was really ruthless, and the heads piled up outside the suburbs of Beijing could build a Beijing Temple. At that time, in areas where martial arts were prosperous, they closed their homes every day, especially when there were young and strong offspring in the family, and they were also firmly confined to the home by the elderly.
This can't go out, as soon as you go out, you may be caught by the living king of Hades and killed as a chaotic party, then it is really unjustly killed and there is nowhere to reason.
"Third brother, what are you talking to me about, I don't like to hear it." Zhu Yan was a little unhappy. That's not what you want to know at all, is it? She just wanted to figure out what these two people were about.
"Xiao Yan'er, don't worry, listen to the third brother tell you in detail. The current rivers and lakes are no longer the rivers and lakes of the past, because of the great purge of the year, in fact, we have the peace of life we have today. ”
Although the living king of Hades is ruthless and kills rivers of blood, because of the homonym of the surname, he is secretly ridiculed by some people as "the king of blood Hades". But he is scary and scary, he is very good for ordinary people, and he also doesn't want to see that because the folk customs are too strong, he only knows how to do whatever he wants with the help of the power in his hands, so he also found a way out for all those who like to learn martial arts.
Usually there will be a dart board in the big city to escort the goods to and fro. In any case, the safety of the goods still has to be guaranteed, and it is impossible to let a group of weak scholars do these jobs. Everyone reads and learns characters, which is of course right, otherwise they can't read the words, and it will be difficult for the imperial court decrees to spread.
Seeing that some people really only had the talent to learn martial arts, the Living Yama King wrote to ask the emperor to open a martial arts.
Lu Taizu must be said to be a Ming ancestor. The living king of Hades said that he would open the martial arts, and he thought it was right, so he opened it; The princess said that she wanted to run a women's school, so she did it, and even allowed the educated women in the boudoir to have a place in the official system.
However, when Lu Taizu died, some decrees were changed by the new emperor at the instigation of his subordinates. People are dying, and this has to be said to be a sad thing. Fortunately, there is also the Xue family, who was named the king of one word side by side, to assist the emperor well, so that more people did not deceive the emperor.
When the martial arts are opened, there will always be some people who like to be officials to try it out, and sell it to the emperor's family, and it will be the case through the ages.
There are also some hermits who are not ready to be officials, but just like to wander in the countryside, but the Blood Yama King sneers at these people, seeing that they always know how to cower in the countryside, as long as those people don't drag their feet, they don't bother to pay attention to those people.
After that purge, the rivers and lakes have been silent for many years.
The current rivers and lakes are just a place where a little bit of martial arts can walk where people who think Lao Tzu is the best in the world can walk.
These two swordsmen seem to be very famous, but they are only ranked forty-seventh on the list of celebrities.
It's also that the Lin family is too far away from the real rivers and lakes, so they don't know, but even if they do, they have to respect it respectfully. Although the rivers and lakes are not like they used to kill without saying a word, why bother offending the characters in the rivers and lakes?
The martial arts in this world have not yet reached the point of using martial arts, and it seems that in addition to the cleaning of the year, there is something behind the growth of people in the martial arts, which is not at all like the rangers wandering around in the previous dynasty. In the Great Xia Dynasty, ordinary people were already far away from the rivers and lakes.
It is customary that people in the rivers and lakes will not cut and kill ordinary people at will. Of course, people in the evil way can't be so sure. But since Shopkeeper Lin and Lin Qin didn't look like they were going to fight with those two, maybe those two were really good people.
Zhu Yan let go of his worries, and prepared to dry his hair a little first, and then go back to the car. But Lin San knew so much, but he couldn't help but make Zhu Yan curious. It may be because Lin San seems to be really good at talking, so Zhu Yan also asked.
"Third brother, how do you know so much, I'm afraid some things can't be known casually!"
Lin San shook his brows and smiled proudly: "You are also asking me!" Others, such as that Lin Liu, know there in such detail as I do. I think back then, my father was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes......"
He looked like he was going to brag a lot, Zhu Yan knew that he definitely didn't tell the truth, since he didn't say it, it was okay, anyway, his hair was almost dry, and he didn't have to worry too much about what these two people from the rivers and lakes who suddenly popped out of the rivers and lakes would have anything to do with him, so it was better to go back to the carriage as soon as possible. Even if you order the herbs of smoked mosquitoes, there is still a buzzing sound constantly, and you have to pay attention to changing your sitting posture from time to time when sitting on the ground to get rid of mosquitoes.
The night breeze is still slightly cool, and today is a big gossip about the rivers and lakes, so she has to go back and think about it. However, Zhu Yan doesn't look down on these so-called people in the rivers and lakes, since she hasn't heard of it, she can imagine that no matter how much she tosses it in the future, she can't toss it out again.
Anyway, the Great Xia Dynasty was still as prosperous as ever when she died, and she still remembered that her youngest grandson was still muttering about coming back with a top prize, which made her happy.
Thinking of the past, I naturally remembered the Xue Jingyan who helped me in my previous life and helped me in this life. Thinking of him, she remembered the jade pendant that Xue Jingyan gave her before. She dug into her arms for a while but still didn't find it, went to her package and rummaged through it, but it still didn't!
Zhu Yan was a little annoyed, knowing that he sometimes lost everything, why didn't he pay attention to where this jade pendant went?
Zhu Yan bent over, and by the moonlight, she pulled the places she had stayed in the carriage a few times, confirming that she really didn't find it, so she had to helplessly think of the last possibility, which should be next to the waterfall before. When removing clothes, it may be blind to the black light and fall off. It's too late to regret it now, Zhu Yan feels that his brain has a tendency to explode all of a sudden.
She also thought that if she didn't have any money to use it in the future, she would sell the jade pendant, and it would be worth a few hundred taels anyway!
