Chapter 1 The Past Is Over
The night is dark, and there is no moon.
The stars are shining, and the dome is shining brightly.
The endless sea, on a partial cliff.
Half a cliff to be exact.
A foot-wide stone staircase winds down the mountain. It extends to a stone lawn twenty or thirty zhang away.
Two old and one young are in the courtyard on the half-cliff stone lawn, drinking tea and stargazing.
The night breeze was cool, and the smell of the sea wafted around. There are rare trees on the cloister island in the courtyard.
There is nothing special about the sitting appearance of the tree, this kind of tree is not very tall, more than a zhang, and the growth of decades is only the thickness of the mouth of a bowl.
The appearance is also ordinary, but the only thing is that it will emit a very fresh fragrance, very strong. Since it is at night, it is especially heavy. So that the whole courtyard invaded into this kind of fragrance that smells and makes people clear.
The small courtyard is built on a stone flat with a protrusion of four or five zhang in size on the cliff, and there is a distance of more than twenty or thirty zhang from the top of the cliff. Below is the bottomless abyss. There is a hollow bamboo tube next to it to attract the mountains and rivers in the cracks of the mountain.
More than half of the thatched huts on the side of the cliff are recessed in the mountain wall, and there is a slightly smaller thatched hut that seems to have just been built for a short time. At this time, the three of them were boiling water and tea.
In fact, Donghan is just a drinker, to put it bluntly, people are happy in it, and Donghan is rubbing people's tea to drink.
From beginning to end, I was looking at them, the washing of the fairy bones, and then the back and forth selection of bowls and cups, it was not troublesome to watch. But it's all operated by the two old men who are begging for tea.
Although these seem simple, what they say inside is cumbersome and complicated.
Overlooking the low mountains ahead, the calm endless sea, dormant and calm in the night. This is an excellent place to look at the sea, and I don't know how the two old people found it.
The cliff is safe and quiet. It is rare for people to see in the world, but it is also a rare place to live in seclusion.
Just two months ago.
After Donghan retreated from the mine, he wanted to give the Sun and Moon Gang some benefits. But at this time, Dong Han felt two familiar breaths coming.
To be precise, it was a familiar exercise, and there were two old men over there. I don't know Donghan, but there is a kind of exercise on him that is very familiar. There is also an old man who is not too familiar, but he still knows it. Even he has some kindness to Donghan.
When the two came closer, all the people from the Sun and Moon Gang bent down to salute, and the old man who was not familiar with him waved his hand.
"Tell me what's going on, don't be half-false, or you'll be hopeless today!"
The old man's face was a little dark, his clothes were casual, he couldn't see any weapons, and his eyes were a little cold, looking at the gangs in front of him.
Duan Hai was just about to tell the story, when he saw a thin old man rush to speak: "That's what happened to Mr. Pang. He went on to give a general account of what had happened.
But there are more ingredients in it that he added himself. Originally, they were not in front of him, but it was as if everyone was competing fairly.
Dong Han didn't speak, just looked at the thin old man quietly. Chunliu shouted: "The surname Ji, it seems that you should be the initiator of this matter, you are a good mouthful, you can really speak, black and white are reversed?"
The man glanced at Chun Liu lunarly, "Gu Lao Liu, this is the truth, you are the first to be defeated. I didn't know where I found a helper, and took advantage of the lack of internal strength of the elders of my Sun and Moon Gang to suddenly attack and attack, and also injured more than a dozen of our gangsters. 〞
"You... You...?"
The corners of Chun Liu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't even say the following words. With a shaking hand, he pointed at the old man surnamed Ji.
Dong Han turned his head and waved his hand, "Brother Gu doesn't have to bother talking, let him finish speaking, and wait for the result." 〞
Dong Han turned his head to look at the thin old man who was talking, "You go on. 〞
"Presumably you're the accomplice? Not only do you hurt people, but you make so many unrealistic demands. You are despising our Sun and Moon Gang, and you are relying on the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to oppress us. You also relied on your own skills to pick up the prestige of the Sun and Moon Gang on Cloister Island, what are your intentions?"
"Well, there's some truth to that, is there?"
"You, you... Arrogant, I'm going to ...... today. He was about to go on, and the old man waved his hand and looked at the middle-aged man on the lunar calendar.
"Is he telling the truth?"
"Well, it's basically true. 〞
"So it's not what he said it was?"
"There are some discrepancies. 〞
"Ugh...!"
"Ah Feng, when your father left, he entrusted you to the old man, and the old man was also very optimistic about you. I don't want you to say such ambiguous things today. It's a bit of a chill to me!"
"Can't you, as the leader of a gang, tell what is really going on?, how can you lead thousands of people to live on Cloister Island!?"
The man was a little embarrassed, his head was slightly lowered, he was very afraid of this old man, and he could see that he was more respectful.
"What I want to know is, what is the truth like?
The old man was obviously angry, on the way to come. From a distance, you could feel the difference in the teenager in front of you.
And there is something familiar, which is the connection of practicing the same exercises. And the thin old man next to him is a friend he made two years ago when he was traveling.
Because of the same age, the conversation is also quite speculative, so the two walked together, and after getting along for a while, the two actually had the feeling of knowing each other late.
After a period of time together, the man came back with him, going out once in between, and sometimes the two would go out for a walk together.
The two exchanged martial arts experiences with each other, and also studied each other's exercises, which can be regarded as an exchange of knowledge.
And during the investigation just now, both of them felt a familiar feeling of winter cold.
"Brother Pang, things are a little strange, don't be reckless, that person should be an acquaintance, and he is more evil. It's just that I can't remember this person for a while. 〞
"How?"
"I'm sure you can also perceive that the person has practiced the same exercises as us, and as far as I know, this kind of exercise is only available to me, and maybe someone else has it, but the chances are very small. But as far as I'm concerned, there are only three people on the continent!
"Who is it?"
"He was a kid back then! But I knew there was something different about him, but I didn't pay much attention to it, because it was too small. It seems that at that time, you still looked away, so you can ask the truth of the matter before making a decision. 〞
"Okay. Although he couldn't figure it out, he still chose to believe this old man.
Therefore, the old man listened to the quarrel and slander of the two. You know that things are far from being as simple as they seem.
At this time, that Ah Feng looked at Duan Hai and nodded. Duan Hai clasped his fists and saluted, and turned around to salute the old man surnamed Pang.
"Pang Lao, it's like this... 〞
This time there is no concealment, it is from the beginning to the end, the cause and effect of the incident, and yesterday's events are not omitted at all, and every sentence is true.
Dong Han also knew that this was more consistent with what he thought, so the ins and outs of this matter were very clear.
"That is to say, what you did was wrong first, and you also stood on an opposing side with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?
"So, you don't have the confidence and confidence to call me here today, right?"
That Ah Feng blushed even more wordlessly, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Pang, I listen to your decision. 〞
Although he was a little unwilling, he knew that the old man in front of him was very kind to him, and he was really good to him, and his cultivation was not comparable to him now.
At least, the old man is still his biggest support, and even the Sun and Moon Gang. Otherwise, the Sun and Moon Gang would have been annexed by other forces long ago. He knew that although he had some strategies, his cultivation was still not at the top level.
And today's things are a little weird, the old man next to him has heard of it before but has not seen it. I don't want to be here today.
Seeing that the old man was looking at the young man opposite, thoughtfully, his heart had begun to lose his heart, and he didn't know how to develop next.
At this time, the old man next to him whispered a few words to him.
Pang Lao nodded, looked at that Ah Feng and said, "Well, it's still lost. Then do as he says. And we must implement it quickly, and go to apologize to others together. 〞
"This...!?" There are many people who make this unwilling cry.
"It's a bit inappropriate for Pang Lao to do this, right? If he does this, how will the Sun and Moon Gang be able to hold their heads up on Cloister Island in the future? How can they explain to the brothers in the gang?"
"Oh, you're not convinced by my decision?"
"No, I just think it's a little wrong. It will have an impact on the big and small matters in the gang. 〞
"Then have you ever thought that treachery has no effect? And what hole cards do you have to fight against the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?
He pointed to some people in strange costumes on the side of the Sun and Moon Gang. "If they can match the strength of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, what are they going to do with the idea of fighting this small island? It seems that the Sun and Moon Gang can't accommodate you. 〞
When the old man surnamed Ji heard this, his face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and a cold sweat broke out, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, "Pang Lao was angry, and Ji Yong was confused for a while, but the original starting point was for the Sun and Moon Gang, and I asked Pang Lao to be tolerant." 〞
"But I'm going to tell you, even if you want to maximize your profits, do what you can. Don't be short-sighted and only focus on the small profits in front of you, think in the long run. There are still old and young women and children in the Sun and Moon Gang to survive. Let's go back and reflect on it. 〞
Although some of the gang members couldn't swallow this breath, no one dared to speak out against it.
Everyone saluted again and prepared to go back.
Dong Han didn't speak from beginning to end, but at this time, he couldn't stop talking, "Wait." 〞
With a bang, almost everyone's eyes looked at Dong Han.
"Well, hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm just going to say a few words. 〞
"Listening to the words of this senior, the kid was also a little embarrassed, and it seemed that he had done something. In this way, just set up a few tables of banquets to be considered a misunderstanding, and forget the rest. 〞
"Also, as for you. I don't care what kind of chamber of commerce you belong to. I only hope that you can compete with orthodox means. Sooner or later, you're going to be in trouble. 〞
"You don't have to worry about this. 〞
A middle-aged man in his thirties looked at Dong Han fiercely and said.
