45. Along the Yellow River
A few days later.
Outside the city gates, the patrolmen shouted and came to post the latest bounty.
is that many people gather around, even if they can't kill the criminals on the bounty list, they can usually get money by providing useful clues, so every bounty list is a cash cow.
There are villagers, hunters, fishermen, and rivers and lakes, as well as nurses, rangers, and dart masters.
The yellow paper of the bounty was pressed against the brick wall by the patrol, and it was tightly adhered to, and the patrolman shouted and pushed everyone away.
The onlookers hurriedly looked, but saw a young face drawn on the yellow paper, the breath of a prodigal son.
Further down is a brief introduction, charges and a reward.
Everyone took a closer look:
"Carefree Son" Li Chong
Huashan outcasts.
Killed Miss Lin's fiancé Zhao Haoran and eight accompanying guards in the Zhendong Dart Bureau, and went to congratulate 300 soldiers, along with a member of the general.
Now in the fireworks March Building, the Sui Nan Chamber of Commerce jointly offered a reward of three thousand taels of gold, and if it is to provide useful information, this is a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
There was an uproar in the crowd that this new face that had never been seen before was so rewarded.
You must know that three thousand taels of gold is equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equivalent to ten thousand cents, and generally speaking, six or seven taels of silver is the annual expenses of an ordinary family of three.
In other words, it is enough to get a huge sum of money just by providing clues that have not been able to kill this free child.
The hearts of the onlookers were hot, and they only hoped that the bounty would be seen by themselves.
And the bounty of three thousand taels of gold also quickly rose rapidly on the list of thousand bounties compiled by the imperial court, until it stopped at the ninety-eighth place.
The top 100 bounties on the thousand-first bounty list, each of them is a small gold mountain.
Moreover, this bounty list is different from the Fengyun list, and the top 100 may not all be powerful.
Some of them just offended people who shouldn't be offended, and they were good at hiding, which was forced to increase their rankings.
Therefore, all sects and factions in the rivers and lakes are very interested in this thousand bounty lists, and ordinary disciples need to memorize the characters on this list when they go out to travel.
Especially the top 100 little gold mountains, they can't be forgotten.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?
After all, on the rivers and lakes, money is equivalent to resources, and pills, exercises, and hidden weapons can all be measured by price.
Of course, the top ones are priceless.
For example, the price of Shaolin 72 stunts in the underground market ranges from 1,000 gold to 10,000 gold, but no one sells them, no one dares to sell them, and no one knows if they sell them.
At this time.
On the top of the handsome and strange Huashan Mountain, behind the mountain gate, a middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor, a long beard, and an elegant temperament was looking at the updated version of the thousand-song bounty list in his hand, and couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.
"This rebel is actually in the ninety-eighth place?"
The middle-aged man frowned, and secretly thought in his heart: There is something wrong with this treacherous boy. It seems that it is not groundless to suspect that he has secretly hidden that mastery, but it is hateful that he still looked wronged and tears flowed at that time.
The strongest mastery of the Huashan Sword Sect, Yu Qi Sect is "Purple Qi Donglai Divine Skill", and Yu Secret Sword Sect is "The Secret of One Thousand Moves and One Sword Break".
"The Trick of Breaking a Sword with a Hundred Moves" has been missing for a long time, and it is suspected that it was obtained by Li Chong in the back mountain and secretly practiced, but the latter did not admit it.
Subsequently, he was abolished and expelled from the division.
This happened today, and the elegant master of Huashan decided to inquire again.
Half a day later, I learned some details of the fight from my own channels.
The elegant Zhangjiao surname is Feng, and the name is Wuyue.
At this time, it is to look at the information obtained from the channel.
Although it is only a cursory glance, the Feng Zhangjiao already knows that the swordsmanship used by this Huashan outcast is the "Qingfeng Three Immortals Secret Swordsmanship" of the Huashan Secret Sword School, and the number of people in the secret sword line has always been small, in the north vein of Huashan, although it is not a mortal enemy of each other, but it is an old and dead person who does not interact with each other and does not recognize each other.
This grievance has been going on for a long time, for generations.
Therefore, it is taboo to secretly hide the secret sword sect and practice it secretly.
"Qingfeng Three Immortals Secret Swordsmanship... It's the precondition of the trick of breaking the sword with a hundred moves, and this rebel really learned the martial arts of this secret sword, it's really a bastard!"
Feng Wuyue's face suddenly turned cold.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of "Do-do", followed by a girl's voice as crisp as a yellow bird, "Dad, has the senior brother been rewarded?"
The door opened, and Feng Wuyue looked at the girl in front of the door, dressed in green, with her hair tied up and braided into a small braid, and her eyes were as bright as stars, so that even if you forget everything, you will remember these eyes, and the smile under the eyes.
It's really a very spiritual girl.
"Xiaoyu, how many times has Dad told you, this rebel is not your senior brother!! Father abolished his whole body internal strength, and he can still do evil in the rivers and lakes with his broken body, which shows that Dad has done nothing wrong!
It is the right way to use the qi to pass through the eight veins, enter the three flowers and gather the five qi dynasties, and condense the true yuan.
The moves of the secret sword are too ferocious, and they have fallen into the devil, and our Huashan orthodoxy can't wait to burn all these exercises, this rebel has obtained the secret sword sect's mastery, and he actually practiced secretly, concealed and did not report, it is really not right, and it is extremely hateful!
Xiaoyu, you have to remember one thing, our Huashan is a decent family.
Good and evil are incompatible, and we must not covet a momentary quick success, and fall into the devil's path, otherwise it will be a catastrophe. ”
"Daddy... However, the elder brother is really good to me... He's been alone on the rivers and lakes for so long..."
The tall girl lowered her head and muttered softly.
"Humph!"
Feng Wuyue sneered and said sharply, "Such a rebel, if you see it in the rivers and lakes, the old man will clean up the portal and kill him with one sword." ”
When he spoke, he was murderous and terrifying.
Feng Xiaoyu didn't dare to say another word, just bit her lip and lowered her head.
I remembered that in the middle of spring last year, in the flowers under the Goddess Peak, I was punished and felt uncomfortably tight, but the prodigal brother-like elder brother was giggling to catch butterflies for himself and make grimaces to amuse himself.
She sighed softly and muttered to herself in a voice that only she heard, "Isn't there a good and evil side of each other?"
...
Xia Bai obviously didn't know these things.
I didn't know that the "chivalrous righteousness" I did casually set off a lot of waves in the rivers and lakes.
He walked straight to the location shown on the map in the eight Buddhist scriptures.
Xuegu Mountain, Dongzang Creek, along the Yellow River, on the verge of Jingshan Mountain in the East China Sea...
The white-clothed sword demon remembered it very well.
After a few small cities, the horse came to the banks of the Yellow River.
In the cold wind full of water, Xia Bai spread out the map, compared his position, and quickly adjusted his position, and rode upstream for about two incense sticks.
Skirting a large area of barren reeds, I saw a small pier in the middle of the gravel field, and a rather large passenger ship more than 20 meters long was moored to a black stone pier at the edge of the trestle.
The two big men at the head of the bridge were standing with their hands in their hands, and the tattoos climbed directly from the back to the neck, which seemed to be the appearance of black wolves.
In a while, there were people, businessmen, and rangers of all kinds of costumes arrived, and they paid money one after another, and then the two big men counted the silver, and they were allowed to enter the cabin, and the reason why they did not open it seemed to be waiting for the full house.
Xia Bai rolled up the map, held it in his hand at will, and pulled the edge of the black hood, which was directly to exchange the horses for the ferry ticket, and boarded the ship.
The two big men didn't ask Xia Bai to show his face, after all, he was doing business, and they didn't care what the identity of the guest was.
They belong to the Black Wolf Gang, which is a subordinate sect of the Yellow River in the middle of the three mountains, four seas and five lakes, specializing in the business on the Yellow River.
The people of the rivers and lakes sell their face, and there will be no river thieves to come and plunder.
When he entered the cabin, a peculiar smell came, Xia Bai picked a corner and sat down, hugged his hands to his chest, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Maybe because he has a lonely temperament, no one sits near him.
After another half a day, the cabin was almost full, and only then did a pair of men and women rush into the cabin as if they were fleeing for their lives, and when they saw the vacant seat, they sat next to Xia Bai with a saber at their waists, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Xia Bai could clearly feel that both of them were beating fast.
When the boatman saw that the passengers were full, he beckoned the young man to untie the cable, and he stood at the bow of the boat wearing a hat and holding a bamboo pole.
A rod swept the heart of the water, and the ripples and ripples scattered, which also broke the long sky in the water.
