Chapter 109: Longchong Mansion
Longchong Mansion, Fucheng.
On Chengnan Street, not far from the front of the Fengyang Martial Arts Gym, a new martial arts hall was opened.
The name of the newly opened martial arts hall is "Mingyang Martial Arts Hall", and even the name is similar to the Fengyang Martial Arts Hall, only one word is missing.
Obviously, this famous martial arts hall is specially opened to fight in the ring with the wind and the martial arts hall.
Fang Yue sat by the window on the second floor of a restaurant, condescendingly, looking at the two martial arts halls on the same street not far away.
Today happens to be the day when the Mingyang Martial Arts Hall is renovated and the museum is open to accept apprentices.
This famous martial arts hall has Qingyan Gate behind it.
Behind many martial arts halls, there is usually a sect background.
Some sects, in addition to occupying the mountain, cultivating the fields under the mountain, and hiring people to rent seeds, will also go to the city to open a martial arts hall.
The purpose of opening a martial arts hall, in addition to recruiting fresh blood and making friends with powerful people, also has a little function, which is to use the name of the martial arts hall to conduct business and purchase industries.
A big sect, so many disciples, eating, drinking, and practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies, there are all kinds of things, and the resources and money needed are massive.
It is not enough to rely on the fields under the mountain to maintain food and clothing.
This requires other businesses and industries, such as guards, guards, guards, teaching, and so on, which can not only provide the sect with monetary income, but also provide employment for many disciples under the sect.
There are also some unrelated money-making industries, and the sect will squeeze in and get a piece of the pie by virtue of its large number of people.
In addition, there are many quick officials in the yamen, as well as large and small leaders among the officers and soldiers, and many of them are also from the family.
Wealthy families, the head of the guard who cares for the family, and the disciples of the sect.
In terms of official power, all major factions are not weak.
In short, the northern part of Yunzhou is inseparable from the shadow of the sect, which is very different from other prefectures and counties in Yunzhou.
Here, the government not only suppresses the sect, but also uses the sect.
Fang Yue traveled all the way and saw the local customs of Yunbei.
Compared with the southern part of Yunzhou where he stayed at the beginning, it was obviously in the same state, but it was like a different world.
"The Famous Martial Arts Hall is open today to accept apprentices, behind them is Qingyan Gate, brother, do you want your son to sign up?"
"Let's take a look first, don't worry, that kid in my family is only six years old, it's still early. It's that your kid is almost ten years old, so if you want to learn martial arts, you have to do it as soon as possible. ”
"My little rabbit cub, I want him to learn to do business when he is older."
"To learn to do business, you can also learn two-handed martial arts to defend yourself."
"That makes sense, I'll go back and bring my little rabbit cub over to sign up."
……
Fang Yue heard the conversation between the two drinkers in the restaurant, which was related to the famous martial arts hall that opened today.
In other parts of Yunzhou, if the family has a little surplus wealth, they are more willing to let their children go to the school to study, take the test to be a talent and raise people to become a scholar or something.
In the northern part of Yunzhou, martial arts are prevalent, and ordinary people with a little surplus wealth will also choose to send their children to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts.
If the talent is good, it is favored by the sect behind the martial arts hall, and it is included in the door wall, and the children's martial arts training expenses and resources from childhood to adulthood are borne by the sect.
When you grow up, you will be successful in your studies, and there will be many ways out, which is better than working in the field for a lifetime.
Fang Yue was drinking a little wine and eating the local specialties of Longchong Mansion, while paying attention to the two martial arts halls not far downstairs.
In front of the famous martial arts hall, there are crowds of people at the moment, and many people in the city bring their children to sign up.
Behind the famous martial arts hall is Qingyan Gate, and Qingyan Gate is the most powerful sect in the area of Longchong Mansion.
It is precisely because of this that so many people are lining up to join the Famous Martial Arts Gym.
Compared with the bustle in front of the famous martial arts hall, the other martial arts hall on this street is very deserted in front of the gate.
Fengyang Martial Arts Hall, originally the largest and most well-known martial arts hall in Longchong Mansion, has been reduced to the point of being a big bird in just a few years.
However, compared with the lively Famous Martial Arts Gym, Fang Yue's eyes stayed more on the Fengyang Martial Arts Gym.
The Fengyang Martial Arts Pavilion is exactly the goal of Fang Yue's visit this time.
I heard the news from where the drunkard Li, and then after arriving at this Longchong Mansion, I asked the local head snake to inquire about it.
For the original old martial arts hall of this Longchong Mansion, Fang Yue had a general understanding.
The previous owner of the Fengyang Martial Arts Pavilion was an innate martial artist, which was not unusual.
As the largest martial arts hall in Longchong Mansion a few years ago, it was normal for there to be an innate martial artist in charge.
However, this innate martial artist of the Fengyang Martial Arts Pavilion is not simple, he is an innate peak martial artist.
What is the concept of an innate peak martial artist?
Even in the northern part of Yunzhou, where martial arts are prevalent, there are few innate martial artists, let alone the innate peak.
According to Fang Yue's understanding along the way, Yunzhou currently has a total of two martial saints.
One is missing, no one has seen him for many years, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
One is the deputy palace master of Baiyun Palace, who sits in Yunzhou Prefecture and rarely shows up.
In other words, the innate peak martial artist, in the land of Yifu, is the top existence, and the prefect has to be polite to him.
With such an innate peak martial artist in charge, it is difficult for the Fengyang Martial Arts Hall not to do much in Longchong Mansion.
And not only that, Fang Yue also heard that the former owner of the Fengyang Martial Arts Pavilion was known as the innate martial artist who was most likely to break through to the Martial Saint in Yunzhou in the past ten years.
Martial Saint, that is an existence that can run rampant in a state. When the governor of a state sees it, he must be respectful; When the Venerable Master who suppressed the first palace saw it, he would also politely call him "Taoist friend".
The innate martial artists who have the hope of becoming a martial saint are all amazing talents.
So, with such a figure in charge, why is the Fengyang Martial Arts Hall now reduced to such a field, with so many doors, and still being squeezed by others?
The reason is simple.
That was a few years ago, the former owner of the Fengyang Martial Arts Pavilion, the innate peak martial artist, went crazy.
In the past ten years, this amazing and brilliant person in Yunzhou who is most likely to break through the Martial Saint is actually crazy, and it is a little unbelievable to say it.
How the hell he went crazy, no one knows why.
……
The winter in Yunzhou is basically not frozen, and today there is a warm sun, and the temperature is quite mild, not too cold.
Fang Yue finished eating the wine and food, and after he was full of wine and food, he called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the restaurant.
At this moment, he was wearing a light white brocade robe, a sword hanging from his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, dressed as a rich son.
The street is full of people and traffic, and it is very lively.
On the streets on both sides, there are teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, workshops and so on.
There are also stalls selling all kinds of things in the open space in front of the street, and the small vendors shout vigorously to attract pedestrians.
"There should be two attendants, and then a beautiful maid, and I will carry a bird cage in my hand, and raise a thrush......"
Fang Yue imagined what a rich boy should behave as he opened the folding fan to fan the wind.
"Mother, you see that uncle is so strange, he takes a fan in winter."
"Ignore him, that could be a fool."
Fang Yue put away the fan depressedly and grimaced at the child.
Scared the little kid out behind his mother.
Fang Yue laughed and walked away, walking in the direction of the martial arts hall.
