Chapter 152: Fierce
Since Yang Ming and his party got their horses, they changed their route and turned around to Rizhao City, which was closer to them.
The scale of this small city is not very large, it is a small grain transit station in the north and east, and some merchants come and go. They transport rice from the south to the north, making a difference in price.
More than 20 years ago, it was just a wasteland, but a merchant passed by and thought it was perfect for a transportation hub. So the merchant paid for the construction of many brick houses here for the merchants who came and went to rest their feet.
It's just that the Demon Sect's Eastern Crusade twenty years ago made the entire Central Plains people panic, and the number of merchants coming and going in this city dropped suddenly, and there were no business opportunities, and the merchants who had speculated here naturally left here. In addition, the north is a little south from the imperial court, and the original small city has been transformed into today's big city - PY City.
Although there are still merchants passing by in this Rizhao City, it is just that it will never be as glorious as it used to be.
There is no gate in this city, and even if there is, it is estimated that it has collapsed long ago because of disrepair. The imperial court didn't care about this place, and naturally it would not fund the renovation of the city; As long as there are no vicious incidents, the imperial court will not even send people over.
After entering the city, there were also some scattered merchants who came and went.
Almost every businessman is more or less followed by some people in the rivers and lakes. Because there is no law and order here, as long as your fists are strong enough, no one will do anything to you. Of course, those businessmen will not take the initiative to stir up trouble, and for them, the brawl will not benefit them at all except to delay them in making money.
That evening, after Yang Ming and the others entered the city, they searched around and only found one restaurant. It's just that in that restaurant, there are some coarse tea and light rice, and the price is ridiculously expensive. The few men simply dealt with each other, and then found an empty house in the city to rest.
The houses here are all ownerless, and whoever arrives first will have the right to live in the house. It is precisely because of this that no one wants to open an inn here.
It's just that what Yang Ming and the others didn't expect was that after eating the food here, Lei Wujian and Sikong Qianluo's bodies showed symptoms such as vomiting and dizziness.
Yang Ming knew that the reason for them was either that there was something wrong with what they ate, or that they were not adaptable. Whatever the reason, they won't be able to make the way.
After resting in the city, the condition of the two improved. Yang Ming bought some dry food from the merchants in the city, and then led everyone on the road.
Now, they only need to pass one more big city to reach the port town, and that big city is Sunset City.
......
After Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen left Leijiabao, they went to the Sword Heart Tomb first. I haven't seen him for many years, and when King Li Su saw Li Hanyi again, there was indescribable bitterness in his heart. After he explained a few words to Zhao Yuzhen, he hid.
Li Hanyi and the two stayed in the Jianxin Tomb for a few days, and then set off for Qingcheng Mountain. Before leaving, King Li Su still came out to see them off. Although he is reluctant in his heart, he still has to face the reality.
After coming to Qingcheng Mountain, Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen held a wedding banquet in Qingcheng Mountain. After that, the two stayed in Qingcheng Mountain and lived in Zhao Yuzhen's small courtyard. Zhao Yuzhen did not serve as the head of Qingcheng Mountain anymore, on weekdays, he either taught Fei Xuan and Li Fansong, Taoism and swordsmanship in the courtyard. Life is also comfortable.
On this day, Zhao Yuzhen made a fortune divination every day, but his face suddenly became solemn.
"Yuzhen, is something going to happen?" Li Hanyi looked at his face and couldn't help asking.
Although they did not follow Yang Ming to set off, Zhao Yuzhen would calculate a hexagram for them every day, and the results were also informed to Li Hanyi.
Zhao Yuzhen looked at the east, and his expression couldn't help but become nervous, "Fierce, fierce. They will be in danger before long."
"What!" Li Hanyi was taken aback, "Yuzhen, you can make it clearer."
"No." Zhao Yuzhen shook his head, "There are many variables in this hexagram, and there is also an uncertain factor, so I can't give a specific conclusion."
"What do you mean?"
"This hexagram may be Yang Ming's murderous hexagram, or it may be the murderous hexagram of Wushuang City." Zhao Yuzhen thought about it, he jumped to stand on the wall of the small courtyard, and shouted at Qingcheng Mountain, "Feixuan, Fan Song, come and see me quickly."
"The people of the Peerless City?" Li Hanyi jumped to Zhao Yuzhen's side, "Are the people of Wushuang City going to attack Yang Ming and them?"
"Yes." Zhao Yuzhen nodded, "But besides them, there is another group of people, and I can't calculate their affairs, so this hexagram is incomplete, that is, it can be changed."
"That..." Li Hanyi stretched out his hand and hooked into the house, and the Iron Horse Glacier Sword that was originally placed on the shelf in the room snatched out the door. A thud fell on Li Hanyi's hand. "We're going to support them."
Li Hanyi just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhao Yuzhen, "We can't go, if we go, we will be the biggest variable." He smiled wryly and shook his head, "The two of us have gone against the way of heaven, and if other people's causes and effects are intertwined with us, then his fate will also become unpredictable."
"Let's go into seclusion, at least for everyone's good." Zhao Yuzhen said what was in his heart, he was very afraid that Li Hanyi would not agree to his request, so he didn't dare to say it all the time.
Li Hanyi slowly put down the Iron Horse Glacier Sword in his hand, and looked at Zhao Yuzhen with a tender expression: "Where you go, I will go."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, when I arrange Feixuan and Fan Song, we will go to the village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, I want to meet my parents."
"Okay." Li Hanyi said softly.
Shaoqing, a child in a Taoist robe and a young man dressed as a scholar hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
"Master, what's wrong?" The two asked in unison.
Zhao Yuzhen slowly fell from the wall, he walked to the two of them with a light smile, and patted the shoulders of the two of them with both hands: "Feixuan, Fan Song, you go down the mountain." Go to Sunset City in the east and support Yang Ming and them."
"This~" Li Fansong was puzzled, "Master, can you explain it in detail."
Fei Xuan on the side also wanted to calculate what happened, but no matter how he calculated, he couldn't calculate what would happen.
Looking at Fei Xuan, whose face was sweating like rain, Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said, "Fei Xuan, don't forget it. This thing can't be calculated. Because without many factors, there will be no results at all."
"But, Master..." Fei Xuan's face became solemn, and his fat little hands were clenched into fists tightly.
Zhao Yuzhen looked at Li Fansong, "This time, you will meet your second master, I will not teach you swordsmanship in the future, that swordsmanship teacher, his strength is not below me."
Even though Li Fansong was reluctant, he knew that what his master told him was a final conclusion, and he couldn't change it. Li Fansong bowed slowly towards Zhao Yuzhen: "Yes, Master, the apprentice obeys the order."
"Alright." Zhao Yuzhen clapped his hands, "You and Feixuan should both go down the mountain, remember not to come back for three years."
"Yes, Master (Master)." The two kowtowed to Zhao Yuzhen.
