Volume 1 ● The Recalcitrant People of Shang Chapter 20 The Man of White Mai

Guo Yang was dragged by the hair and carried to the mountain.

He didn't even have time to react before he was lifted up in the air and kicked a few ridiculously times like a crow.

was brought up together, and the young man, but the treatment was a little different, and he was carried from the collar.

"Hey......" Guo Yang just wanted to speak, but he felt a warm breath rushing into his head, and he couldn't make a sound.

Guo Yang was shocked, but there was no room for resistance.

As for Anu, he was not known to have used any strange tricks, his eyes were glazed, and he picked up the burden and followed behind, without making a sound.

……

When he arrived at a stone house on the top of a mountain, Guo Yang was thrown face down on the ground with a "poof" sound.

As soon as the nose was sour and spicy, the blood immediately flowed out. The pain on his face was scorching, as if several parts had been broken and bleeding.

As soon as Guo Yang's hands and feet were free, he hurriedly rolled and wanted to get up. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up, I felt top-heavy, and once again fell face to the ground.

Guo Yang estimated that his nose might have been flattened. He was horrified and felt a little hell.

He tried to get up again, but no doubt he slammed into the ground again, face to the ground. It's just that this time Guo Yang was on guard, his face turned slightly sideways, avoiding the front of his nose and landing on the ground.

Guo Yang simply lay on the ground and didn't move, thinking that it was too simple for the other party to kill him anyway, so it was better to give up resistance.

Because it was a sideways face, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly, but it was an old man with a thin face, dressed in white linen and very cleanly washed, typical of a merchant and nobleman.

The young man was not much better, he was already beaten half to death by Guo Yang's punch, and he was also embarrassed when he crawled on the ground at the moment.

"Master......" As soon as the young man spoke, Guo Yang's heart jumped and he secretly said that it was not good.

"Hmph, do you still know that there is a master?" The old man said lightly, his voice clear and magnetic.

"Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. It's all this stinky boy, he snapped my sword! The young man seemed to be a little afraid of this master, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

"Master is not blind. I've been behind you since you slipped out. The old man said coldly.

"Master......" The young man was speechless, struggled to get up, and knelt on the ground trembling and wretched, looking a little pitiful.

"Facing the wall three...... Ten years. After the old man finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and was about to leave.

"Master...... The apprentice knew that he was wrong, this is not to see that everyone is hungry and think about it...... Let's go out and get something to eat. The boy said resignedly.

"Hmph, if you get food, you won't degenerate enough to rob, right?" The old man snorted coldly.

"Last time, when I encountered those Yan people robbing, didn't Master say that robbery is not a sin?" The young man's body trembled, but he didn't give up on his mouth, and Guo Yang secretly shook his head when he heard it.

"What the teacher is talking about is theft, not theft, but the crime of the world. Who said robbery is not a sin? The old man said helplessly, but his tone was colder and slower.

"That'...... Isn't that a meaning? The boy raised his head, stared at his big eyes, and asked with some confusion.

"That's it, you just go to the wall, you don't understand anyway. In short, you remember, it may not be a sin for others to rob, but it is a sin for us to steal and rob! The old man waved his hand helplessly, and sent the young man to face the wall.

The boy slowly got up and staggered out.

"Master, why is it a sin for us to steal and rob?" Before leaving the door, the young man suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Because, we are merchants." The old man said, and his words were rather gloomy.

"Merchant, merchant, can a merchant eat?" The boy walked slowly out the door, muttering unconvinced.

……

The old man stood there, silent for a long time, then suddenly turned to look at Guo Yang, and Sen Ran asked, "Who are you, Shuqi?" ”

Guo Yang opened his mouth to speak, but his mind was suppressed by the warm breath, and he couldn't speak.

The old man's sleeve flicked, Guo Yang suddenly felt a cool breath enter his brain, and the warmth that had suppressed him disappeared.

"Shuqi? Isn't that the sage of the Lonely Bamboo Country, I heard that he refused to eat Zhou Su and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain. It's a pity that such a loyal and righteous person has no chance to be met by the younger generation. Guo Yang stretched out his hand and touched his nose, which was about to be knocked flat, and said angrily.

The matter of Uncle Qi Boyi spread to the world, and Guo Yang naturally knew it.

It is said that they were originally the ancestors of the Great Shang Dynasty, Wang Hai, who were named Guzhu Kingdom, Boyi Shuqi, and were the two princes of Guzhu Jun. Guzhu Jun was old and wanted to set up his third son Shuqi to inherit the throne, and his father died, Shuqi gave way to Boyi, and Boyi escaped from Guzhu on the grounds of not respecting his father's life; Shu Qi also refused to stand and fled.

On the way out, the two met again. Along the way, they heard that King Zhou Wen was virtuous and good at caring for the elderly, so the two decided to go to the defection together. When they arrived at the border of Xiqi, they heard that King Wen of Zhou had died, and his son, King Wu of Zhou, was fighting merchants with troops, so the two of them went up in the direction of the coming of the Zhou soldiers. Soon, Bo Yi and Shu Qi stopped King Wu of Zhou's horse head and buckled his horse reins at the place where Yanshi buckled the horse, and said loudly: "Father is not buried, and he fights and fights, can it be described as filial piety?" Killing the king with a minister can be described as benevolent? ”

King Wu of Zhou was furious when he heard this, and wanted to kill him, but was stopped by his Xiangguo Jiang Ziya.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, the world sect Zhou, and Boyi and Shuqi ate Zhou Su shamefully, lived in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain, collected wild vegetables and ate them, chanted the song of "Picking Rose", and finally starved to death in Shouyang Mountain.

Guo Yang has heard all kinds of rumors and stories about the two sages since he was a child, and even for a long time, he still worships those two people. This time, when I heard the old man ask, "Who are you, Shuqi", I couldn't help but feel a slight move in my heart.

"Then where did you learn the Lone Bamboo Knife Technique?" The old man's eyes were like electricity, and Guo Yang's heart trembled.

"Lone Bamboo Knife Technique?" Guo Yang asked blankly.

"You use your fist instead of a knife, but your heart can't hide it." The old man said coldly.

"You're talking about...... Those three tricks...... Is it called the Lone Bamboo Knife Method? Guo Yang asked.

"It seems that you really don't know. Well, what about your master? The old man asked.

"I've gone to Shouyang Mountain." Guo Yang replied in a proper manner.

"Shouyang Mountain ......" The old man turned around slowly, walked to the door, paused, and sighed, as if he had endless worries.

"Uncle, junior Guo Yang, I missed and injured that little brother, please forgive me." Guo Yang bent down and clenched his fists, and he didn't care about wiping the blood on his face. There was an inexplicable momentum in this old man, which made him want to kneel a little.

"That's it." The old man said indifferently: "Can your master have any instructions for you?" ”

"Master ordered the younger generations to cultivate hard in order to protect themselves in troubled times. In addition, he ordered me to do business well and maintain the fortune of big business. If he met someone else, Guo Yang would not dare to say these words to others. But in the face of this old man, he could not deceive at all.

"Rejuvenating the country through business can be regarded as a road. So how do you think and how do you do it? The old man put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.

"Junior...... Some are disrespectful and not done well enough. Guo Yang said with some humility.

"Not good enough? What's bad? The old man didn't look back, and asked casually.

"The business of the younger generation is very bleak, and I don't dare to go to Luoyi City, so I have to travel to the business village with Anu and the others, and I haven't even done a good job of setting up stalls." Guo Yang was a little ashamed when he spoke, just like he did in the face of his father Guo Lu's reproach back then, and lowered his head.

"Oh? Then do you feel ashamed of the ancestors of the Great Shang? The old man asked.

"Yes." Guo Yang replied honestly.

"If you don't know how to do business, you're ashamed of your ancestors? Then forget the ancestors' wishes, tyrannize and extravagant, harm the country and kill the people, is it worthy of the ancestors? What a deserve it! The old man turned around, stared at Guo Yang, and asked.

"The younger generation is stupid." Guo Yang didn't dare to face the old man's knife-like gaze, and couldn't help but bow his head.

"After the enlightenment, the Xia people are fearless. After the deed, the merchant had no way. After King Wen, the Zhou people were shameless. Only re-emphasizing profits, greedy for false fame, the so-called way of heaven...... Who can tell. The old man sighed suddenly, turned around and went out, and floated away.

Guo Yang watched the old man go out, and felt speechless.

This old man was different from anyone he had met before, although he was also a merchant nobleman, his atmosphere was far superior to others. Guo Yang faintly felt that in terms of knowledge and bearing, his father Guo Lu and Master seemed to be inferior to this old man.

"Climb the west mountain and pick its vid. Violence is easy to violent, and I don't know what it is. Shennong, Yu, and Xia Huyan are all right, am I comfortable? Yu is wandering, and his life is declining. ”

The old man's sad singing voice was heard in the distance, and it was gloomy to hear.

Guo Yang stood quietly, in a trance for a while, like an independent eternal wasteland, but there was no path of his own.

"Am I comfortable? Yu is wandering, and the decline of life ......"

Guo Yang muttered, his eyes full of tears.
