Chapter 65 Yaodong Chronicles
Yaodong and Guanbei used to be places where barbarians gathered, but after they were occupied by the dynasty's wilderness team, they had different fates.
The barbarians of Kanbei are few in number, but they are more fierce. The Guanbei Wasteland Development Team took extremely tough measures against it, first driving it to the deep mountains and old forests, and then organizing personnel to continue to encircle and suppress it, and it took nearly 100 years to eradicate the barbarian forces.
Yaodong was attacked by many wilderness teams at the beginning, although Yaodong is also wild, but after all, there are not so many deep mountains and old forests. The swampy lakes did not serve as a base for the barbarians to resist the dynastic warriors.
Many barbarian tribes were attached to the dynasty, and more barbarians became slaves of the pioneers, and the culture of the barbarians was relatively completely preserved.
After more than 200 years of integration, the Middle-earth ritual culture was combined with the barbarian infantry culture to form a unique Yaodong style. Yaodong also has no distinction between Middle-earth and barbarians, and is collectively known as Yaodong people. The Goddess Religion and the Fox Worship Sect are the products of the combination of the two cultures, which constitute the unique spiritual world of Yaodong.
Yaodong people advocate bravery, Yaodong people sing about beauty, and the combination of courage and beauty has produced a new god - Valkyrie. After the formation of the Goddess Cult, there was a tradition of choosing a woman who was both beautiful and strong in martial arts as a Valkyrie.
The Godhead has always been a great allure for mortals, and if parents who are able to do so think their daughters are beautiful enough, they will teach her martial arts in order to bring glory to the family.
The combination of the martial virtues of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and courage in Middle Earth and the traditional snow fox worship in Yaodong gave rise to the Fox Worship Sect.
The whiteness of the snow fox is considered sacred, and the snow fox will never leave it for the rest of its life as soon as it has a partner, which is considered a symbol of faithfulness.
Although the snow fox is not strong, it is agile and flexible, and even the bears, wolves, tigers and leopards can't do anything, which makes the people of Yaodong admire.
The Fox Worship Sect calls its high-ranking warriors the Snow Fox Warriors, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Warriors are the highest title of the Fox Worship Sect. The Yaodong warriors are all proud to receive this title.
The marriage of the eighth-generation Valkyrie and the nine-tailed fox warrior of the Fox Cult marks the unity of the two religions. After the unification of the two religions, their power increased greatly, and for a time extended their divine power to the entire Yaodong region.
The imperial court adopted ingenious measures, on the one hand, to recognize the status of the two religions, and on the other hand, to send central envoys to supervise them, and to adopt various means to restrict the activities of the two religions and to support other schools of thought.
After more than 100 years of efforts by the imperial court, the power of the two religions has moved away from the political center and only maintains a certain influence among the people. And the influence of the people has also been weakened by the new rise of secular schools.
Although the two religions have been weakened, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and its influence among the people is still great. The election of the new Valkyrie is in full swing among the people.
The cities of Yaodong were established on the land of the barbarians, so they enjoyed great autonomy, and the imperial court was afraid of Yaodong **** and did not exploit it excessively, so the life of Yaodong people was relatively rich.
In the past, the wasteland development team that came to Yaodong was also the same as Guanbei, and evolved into a martial arts sect and a gangster organization.
It's just that some of the actions of the Jingshi four years ago have greatly weakened the various martial arts sects; The gangsters who had been standing on the sidelines later announced that they supported the dynasty, and their ruling power increased greatly. There are many gangs in Yaodong, but there are mainly four major forces: the Luofeng Society in the northeast, the Red Cloud Society in the south, the Tangmen in the Middle East, and the Qing Gang in the northwest. The four major gangs are united under the command of the Valkyrie and have maintained a seemingly peaceful situation, although no one can tell what is happening in secret.
Just when Wei Zeng and the three of them were still crossing the sea, the main core personnel of the Fenglian City Youth Gang Headquarters gathered together.
"I don't understand, what does this election Valkyrie have to do with us, why do we want the Green Gang to pay for it. If they want to choose the Goddess Sect, they can do it themselves. Our Qinggang has to take out a lot of money every year to provide for the grandparents of those goddess sects. As I said before, in the past, we couldn't communicate with the imperial court, so we had to rely on the Goddess Sect to communicate, so as not to get into trouble. But since four years ago, we have been able to discuss with the imperial court ourselves, and what are we doing with sending money every year. Now that the gang is expanding, it is the time to use the money, and several cousins are still not enough to find people because of lack of money. The helper can't go on like this. One said.
"I also understand Elder Shu's words, but you must also know that although the Goddess Sect is not very good now, at least it is still the leader of the folk warriors, and such a blatant disobedience to the Goddess Sect will bring disaster. Elder Shu, you must know that the Tang Sect, the Luofeng Society, and the Red Cloud Society are all staring at us, if you give them a handle, it is inevitable that they will not take the opportunity to make trouble. Although we are not afraid of the attack of the three gangs, this unnecessary loss must be avoided. Isn't it just some money, just give it to them. The leader of the Green Gang said.
"Speaking of Tangmen, I'm angry. Tangmen is known as the number one strong gang in Yaodong, but that is all about the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey. In addition to the larger territory of the current Tangmen, where else is it big and strong? If it weren't for the Goddess Cult to keep stopping us, wouldn't those territories have already belonged to our Green Gang? Now with the support of the imperial court, it is a good time to expand, but now you can only accept the things of those martial arts sects and bully and bully small gangs in your own territory, not to mention how aggrieved you are. The helper asked me to say that it was time for us to bypass the Goddess Cult. In the past, we needed the protection of the Goddess Sect, but now the Goddess Sect is our wayblock. Elder Shu continued.
"Confused! Even if the Tang Sect is weakened now, it must have a two-hundred-year heritage, so how can it be so easy to deal with. You don't see that the court is full of soldiers now. Our attack on the Tang Gate has made a big noise, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can directly remove our names. Now the power of the gang has increased greatly, but it has only just been expanded, and those people from the martial arts sect have been dissatisfied in their hearts, and it will take some time to completely subdue them.
"The Goddess Sect is not completely useless, we are now nominally under the command of the Valkyrie, and when the sky falls, there is the Goddess Sect on top, and the Goddess Sect will deal with whatever happens. Anyway, the Goddess Cult is only an empty shelf, and it is not easy to get rid of the Goddess Sect, so when the time comes, it will naturally do so. Don't the other three gangs have your idea right now? Why haven't they moved? It's not that I don't want to be this bird. As long as they don't move, neither will our Green Gang. The leader of the Green Gang said.
"Helper, don't I have the strength and nowhere to be aggrieved. If you look at the wind group in Kanbei, there is no trouble for us, and the power has spread all over Kanbei in a few years. When will our Green Gang be able to dominate Yaodong. Alas! After Elder Shu finished speaking, his expression showed helplessness.
"Isn't our Yaodong different from Kanbei? You can rest assured, there will be opportunities for expansion in the future, but you must endure it now. The leader of the Green Gang comforted.
At this time, a member of the Green Gang walked in from outside and said, "Qiqi Gang Leader, the Nine-Tailed Fox Warrior Wu Qingfan has been invited. ”
"Has Wu Warrior arrived? Come to the inner hall, and I'm going to have a good conversation with him. The elders and the hall master have also discussed the matter, so let's do what is discussed. You must be polite to the people of the Goddess Sect, and you must be patient with other gangs, and first build the existing territory into a monolith, and then talk about anything else. It's okay to disperse. After the leader of the Qing Gang finished speaking, he went to the inner hall to meet Wu Qingfan.
The leader of the Green Gang walked to the inner hall, where a young man was already waiting. The young man saw the leader of the Green Gang stand up and salute.
"Wu Qingfan visited the helper, I don't know what the helper will do when he asks him to come down this time."
"Wu Warrior doesn't have to be polite, you are now a high-level warrior of the Fox Worship Sect, but you are not a member of my Green Gang, I want to return the salute if you do this. This time, Wu Warrior naturally had important matters to discuss. The leader of the Green Gang said.
"In the lower Qing Gang, it is appropriate to salute the gang leader. If the helper has any commands, he should do them with all his heart. Wu Qingfan said.
"Warrior Wu became a Nine-Tailed Fox Warrior at a young age, which is also the result of your own outstanding talent. I'm just doing some favors. However, I heard that Wu Warrior has always wanted to do a great job, but he encountered obstacles in the Fox Worship Sect, but is there such a thing? The leader of the Green Gang said.
"Did the helper hear about it too? The current Fox Worship Sect is different from the past, and the core personnel of the sect are cowering one by one, and in order not to bear the trouble, they don't ask us to do anything. Although I am a nine-tailed fox warrior, after all, my qualifications are still young, what can I do if those elders don't agree? Wu Qingfan was young after all, and all the thoughts in his heart were expressed on his face.
"Wu Yong doesn't have to be so pessimistic, there are still many opportunities to achieve great things. I think that the marriage between the Valkyrie and the Nine-Tailed Fox Warrior made the entire Yaodong surrender, and the imperial court had to give us Yaodong people some face, what a majesty it was. As long as Wu Warrior can form a golden and jade relationship with the new Valkyrie, he will not worry about the past grand occasion. The leader of the Green Gang said.
The helper laughed, it was all years ago. The current Goddess Sect is very wary of people, and several generations of Valkyries have never married, and the Valkyries stay in the temple all day, and I don't have a chance to contact them. Wu Qingfan said.
"I didn't have a chance before, but now it's not a chance. The incumbent Valkyrie is newly dead, and the new Valkyrie is still being selected, and according to the convention, the Valkyrie candidate is to tour Yaodong for a week. A Valkyrie candidate is coming to Fenglian City in the near future, and this is an opportunity. Besides, it is up to her to decide whether the Valkyrie marries or not, as long as Wu Warrior can capture the woman's heart, what can the people of the Goddess Hall do. And the new Valkyrie is at best just a little girl who has never been in the world, and it is not difficult to think of the charm of Wu Warrior. Besides, my Green Gang will always stand behind Wu Warriors. If the unity of the two religions can be realized again, the future scenery is infinite. The leader of the Green Gang said.
"What the gang leader said is good, but how can he know that this candidate who came to Fenglian City will become the new Valkyrie. Even the Valkyrie candidates are closely guarded by the people of the Goddess Cult, and I don't think it's easy to get close. Although Wu Qingfan was tempted, he still hesitated.
"Wu Warrior thinks too highly of those people in the goddess hall, it's not a hundred years ago. With the minds of those goddesses to teach the old fox, how could they let an irrelevant woman become a Valkyrie, and this Valkyrie election is just a formality to fool ordinary people.
"As for the opportunity to get close to the Valkyrie, we naturally have to create it ourselves. I heard that the hero saves the beauty is still very useful in capturing the hearts of young girls. If the Valkyrie candidate was attacked by gangsters on the way to Fenglian City, and the entourage was killed and wounded, and at the last moment, Wu Warrior appeared to save the Valkyrie candidate, and then escorted the Valkyrie candidate in the name of protecting the Valkyrie candidate. After that, it's up to Wu Yong to see himself. The leader of the Green Gang said.
"Bad guys? Heroes save beauty? I understand it below. Thank you for your advice. The great grace of the gang leader must be unforgettable, and when he is really in charge of the two religions in the future, he must think about the Qing Gang everywhere, and he will never forget his roots when he is born in the Qing Gang. Wu Qingfan stood up and saluted.
