"Around the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, nine major factions were formed along the Yellow River, known as the 'Nine Gates of the Yellow River'."

The Nine Gates of the Yellow River?

I did hear the name for the first time.

I grew up by the Wenshui River, and the tributaries are also part of the Yellow River, but I have never heard of it, even the old people in the village have never mentioned it.

The drunkard is like a scholar who tells a story.

"The nine gates of the Yellow River are all people who beg for a living on the Yellow River, so they were divided into three gates each according to the high and low occupations at that time. The upper three gates are the Heavenly Gate and the Spirit Gate. Yimen; The middle three doors are the craftsman gate, the medicine gate, and the line gate, and the lower three doors are the water gate, the corpse gate, and the flower gate. "

"Of course, in the long river of history, many huge changes have made the nine gates of the Yellow River lose their former prosperity, and several gates have ceased to exist, and the foundation can not be found at all. There is no evidence of what happened in ancient times, what I know is that the four old years were broken, it was a huge blow, and many people and things were destroyed. There are a few doors that appear today. It has just been rebuilt and restored in recent years, but it is also very low-key and unknown. Some of them are supposed to be members of the sect, but they don't even know about it, and they haven't even heard of it. "

I looked at the drunkard and felt that this guy seemed to be a little sad.

"You treasure holders belong to the Spirit Gate? What do the other sects do? "

"That's right. The treasure holder is the spiritual gate, but they have all been scattered everywhere, the original core is gone, usually a master with an apprentice, or a family heirloom, so this spiritual gate has long been no longer passed on, and the old rivers and lakes like the mother-in-law will still hang on the lips. "

"As for the others, I'll talk to you about them too."

"Tianmen is the most mysterious one, I don't know much. When the master was drunk, I heard him mention once that the people in Tianmen seem to be a special non-human species, such as the mermaids, and there are no classics to verify in this world, they are all legends. "

"Yimen, a sorcerer who is proficient in the rituals in the river, has no complete inheritance until now, it is scattered and imperceptible, and there is no foundation."

"The craftsman is a craftsman who is proficient in repairing canals and diversions, and has a set of means to fix the point, through the river, you can see through where to divert the route, and you can also judge the good luck and evil of the river, and now there is no inheritance and foundation. Hehe, that year, the Yellow River was blown up and Jiaolong was very noisy, I heard that it was a craftsman who made a move, but when someone went to look for it, he didn't find it, so it was gone. "

"Medicine Gate. Proficient in the art of Qihuang Pharmacopoeia, that is, a physician, this is the most complete one today, inheriting a variety of medical classics, can cure all kinds of incurable diseases, and has the best reputation. "

"Xingmen, it is the person in charge of the transportation and ferry, I don't know what means they have, the advent of the mechanization era, those ships and yachts, etc., have long since broken their inheritance."

"Shuimen, is to fish on the river, but not simply fishing, what they catch is the fish that has a spiritual nature in the river, it used to be exclusively for or sold at a high price, and we are a little similar to the treasure people, I heard that there is still a inheritance, but I have not seen it."

"The corpse gate, that is, the corpse digger, there are quite a lot now, and you know a lot, so I won't say more."

"Huamen, the fox who sings by the river, are all women, they can charm men, seduce souls, like fox spirits, and are usually bad girls. In ancient times, they were common in the riverside fence and the riverside were common in the riverside, and now there are them, but they don't dare to be so presumptuous. The new society. Say no to these things. "

Listening to what the drunkard said so much, I felt like I had traveled to a different world, and these things were so shocking that I had never heard of them before.

I didn't expect that there are so many roads on the side of the Yellow River.

Even if it is no longer possible to inquire about the evidence, it cannot be groundless after all, and there must be some basis.

"It's hard to imagine that... There are so many more stories? I exclaimed.

The drunkard poured a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and smiled at me: "What is this, you haven't read the ancient classics that have been treasured, those things recorded by the ancients, just like myths, without blinking for two days and two nights." "

Listening to the meaning of his words, you should have seen it.

I couldn't help but ask, "Where is it?" "

"Uh... There are only three such classics left in the world, all of which are hidden as treasures by some old things, and if you want to read them, I'm afraid it's not easy. I peeked at some of it and punished me for cleaning the latrine for a year. "

I was stunned and laughed: "Then forget it." "

The drunkard smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, after saying so much, don't take it seriously." Few people know about this anymore, and no one will talk about these nine doors anymore. Even if you are a person from the ethereal Heavenly Gate, you are targeted, you should be killed or killed, so it is useless. "

"I'm telling you this to give you a long insight. When you talk to people about things, you can also show that you understand very well, and you can pretend to be in front of people. Don't go out with me in the future and embarrass me again. "

Such a big truth can be told from the mouth of a drunkard.

"Like the dead old man Liu, who fished out the corpse all his life, there may be a master who took him, and he may know the corpse door when he dies, and he doesn't know the root of it, so just listen to the story and don't talk about it everywhere."

I understand what the drunkard means by Qi, it's like a person surnamed Li. Saying that he is a descendant of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, even if it is true, is useless, and he will even be scolded as a fool.

The glory of the past is gone, and the present is not of much significance.

I calmed down for a moment, looked at the drunkard Qi, and asked curiously, "Master Qi, how do you know so much?" I heard you mention your master just now, he is a very powerful treasure-bearer, right? "

The drunkard Qi's face was straight, and when it came to the master, he lost his debauched eyes and became rarely serious.

"My master... He is a person with a relatively high status. It's pretty much the same as my mother-in-law, everything about me was what he taught me, but I... failed to live up to him and failed to live up to his hopes. "

At this time, I remembered that my mother-in-law had said that the drunkard made a mistake and almost took his life, and my mother-in-law also said good things for him.

I think there's a story in it.

A character like a drunkard Qi, who has come to this day, must have experienced a lot of experience, but when I saw his appearance, I didn't ask questions.

After a moment of silence, he said with a firm look in his eyes.

"I lost the face of my master at the beginning, and I will get it back one day."

I wasn't used to his seriousness, so I snorted and said with a smile, "Hehe, it looks like we're going to work together." "
