Chapter 210: Qinglan Swordfish
Liang Cheng heard for the first time that fishing in the Qinglan River was at risk of losing his life, but he didn't ask too much, for fear of arousing Cheng Yunlin's suspicions, because Liang Cheng wasn't sure whether he should have known these things as a porter who worked on the docks every day, so he pretended to be rare and strange, and was very curious about everything around him, and looked around all the way.
Sure enough, Cheng Yunlin saw him looking so young and ignorant, smiled slightly and stopped talking, led him to a small courtyard, opened a room, and said: "Apprentice, you are my personal disciple, stay here in the future, you don't have to crowd with other disciples, if you have anything to do as a teacher, I can take care of you nearby." ”
Then he took out a paper book and said: "This is the practice of this school, which is very different from the one circulated in the mortal market, not only the exercises are authentic, step by step, but also improved and supplemented by my Yuyang school from generation to generation, which is inscribed with the experience of the previous sages, you have to practice well, according to your qualifications, it is not difficult to build a foundation." ”
Seeing that Liang Cheng took the book, he saw that the book was not thick, and the words "Yuyang Heart Sutra" were neatly written on it in regular script, and he felt a little strange in his heart, I don't know why this Yuyang faction's mental method secret book should be written on paper, isn't there even a jade slip?
Cheng Yunlin suddenly asked: "I forgot to ask, are you literate?" After getting Liang Cheng's affirmative answer, Cheng Yunlin was relieved and said with a smile: "Then you can study this secret book here, and in the evening, after all the people in the sect come back, I will lead you to meet with everyone for the teacher." ”
So Liang Cheng stayed alone in his cabin, in a good mood, after all, the treatment looks good now, and it is much more comfortable than huddling with everyone at the dock every day. Liang Cheng picked up the Yuyang Heart Sutra and looked at it, and felt that this exercise was not bad, it was authentic in the low-level exercises during the Qi training period, there were no detours, and many traps were avoided, it was not the kind of messy exercises that circulated in the ordinary market, and the content was similar to the Yunyin secret book that he had learned in the Yunyin Sect before.
Liang Cheng planned what he would do in the Yuyang Sect in the future, and decided to raise the cultivation he had shown every once in a while, neither too fast nor mediocre, but to properly show the progress that was in line with his qualifications.
After a few months of mixing like this, the Yuyang faction will have a foothold, and then go to Wuning City, and then find a way to earn some spirit stones to make up the teleportation fee, and then you can teleport to the cities adjacent to the Great Xuan Kingdom, and wait for the opportunity to return to China.
After thinking about this, Liang Cheng took out the hexagonal metal piece that Cheng Yunlin gave him and studied it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't know what this thing was.
This thing is very light in his hand, but it is extremely strong, Liang Cheng tried to break it gently, but he couldn't move, and gradually increased his strength to break it, until finally Liang Cheng exerted all his strength, and he couldn't help this piece of metal for half a cent.
Liang Cheng saw that it was hard to work, and tried to inject the spiritual energy into it, but it had no effect, and then used the wood spirit holy fire to burn it, but there was no reaction, and finally Liang Cheng urged the wood spirit holy fire to the extreme, and scorched this metal piece with all his strength, in this situation, Liang Cheng believed that even the dark iron should be melted, but this thing was still the same, it was still cold and not even hot.
Liang Cheng gasped, although he didn't try out what this thing was for, but he was sure that it must be an extraordinary thing, this thing was definitely not used to attract aura and assist cultivation as Cheng Yunlin said. Because the effect of this metal piece to attract aura is too weak, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is of little help to cultivation.
After studying for a long time, Liang Cheng decided not to waste any more time, so he cherished this hexagonal metal piece into the storage bracelet and left it for later research slowly.
In the evening, sure enough, everyone from the Yuyang faction returned to the sect, and the head of the sect, Cheng Yunlin, recruited all the people to the hall to discuss matters, under the leadership of Cheng Yunlin, Liang Cheng and the backbone of the Yuyang faction met one by one, in addition to Elder Zhao and Elder Liu themselves already knew, there were four other elders, and the six elders also had two or three personal disciples, and these personal disciples added up to a total of twelve people.
Liang Cheng didn't expect that Cheng Yunlin really hadn't accepted disciples before, and he was really his founding disciple, so his status was very detached, although it wasn't very good now, but most people were very optimistic about his future, after all, his qualifications were there, much better than everyone else, so everyone felt that since he had just started now, he had become a young leader, and if he succeeded in learning in the future, the head of the Yuyang faction would be his sooner or later.
Liang Cheng learned that with Cheng Yunlin and Liang Cheng himself, six elders and twelve personal disciples, a total of twenty people are all the backbone of the Yuyang Sect, and there are still more than thirty inner disciples and a dozen or so people newly recruited today, a total of sixty or so people, this is the full strength of the Yuyang Sect.
Speaking of the dozen or so people that Elder Zhao and Elder Liu recruited in Yuyang today, it would be difficult to explain. All of these people have very poor qualifications, and almost none of them can be seen, but Cheng Yunlin didn't say anything, all of them were temporarily admitted to the Yuyang faction as outer disciples, and then decided whether to officially recruit into the Yuyang faction after a month of assessment.
Liang Cheng suspected that these two elders just accepted these people casually, so that they could return to the sect to complete the task, and they were suspected of indiscriminately. However, these things have nothing to do with him, and Liang Cheng naturally won't worry about it. 361 Reading
Liang Cheng has the identity of a personal disciple, and Cheng Yunlin also verbally designated himself as a young master, although with the strength and appearance he shows now, he can't get rid of the temperament of a porter for the time being, these people may not be convinced, but at least no one will take the initiative to provoke him.
It's just that through this discussion, Liang Cheng knew that the strength of the Yuyang faction was very limited, and it was indeed just a small sect. Later, by listening to their deliberations, and Cheng Yunlin also told Liang Cheng about the ins and outs of the sect, Liang Cheng knew how the Yuyang faction he belonged to.
It turns out that Yuyang Town, a small place, in addition to transshipment some goods from the north and south, the survival of mortals is to fish on the Qinglan River, it can be said that more than half of the mortals in the town have to rely on fishing for food and clothing every day.
The course of the Qinglan River is not a straight line, ten miles north of Yuyang Town, after the channel of the Qinglan River turned a big bend, the river surface suddenly became several times wider, and the flow speed of the entire Qinglan River slowed down, no longer as turbulent as before, but became a quiet river with a wide water surface, slowly flowing on the bank of Yuyang Town.
Just at the big bend of the river change, the Qinglan River produces a very peculiar fish, this kind of fish is called Qinglan saury, the body is one and a half feet long, the yellow back and silver belly are long, the meat is delicate, the taste is so delicious that it is unimaginable, it is a must-have delicacy on the banquet of the officials and nobles of the Beizhang State, and the price is extremely expensive.
There is also a strange place in this fish, that is, they only appear in this river bay north of Yuyang, unlike other aquatic products, this kind of knife fish can not be caught in other parts of the Qinglan River, but the underwater situation in this river bay is very complicated, not to mention the turbulence, and strange things often happen, after a long time, most of the fishermen say that there are water ghosts in this place, and from time to time there are fishing boats here inexplicably capsized, and once the fishing boat capsizes here, few people can survive.
Although this river bay is so dangerous, but the value of Qinglan saury is too high, so fishermen still come here to catch Qinglan saury, year after year, how many lives have been swallowed by this river bay, that is no one can tell, so some people describe eating delicious Qinglan saury is actually eating people, because this delicacy can be said to be exchanged for human life.
However, the situation changed after the ancestor of the Yuyang faction founded the sect, and the original ancestor of the Yuyang faction was named Jian Huaide, who was originally also a fisherman, and followed his father to fish in this river since he was a child.
There are many people from this kind of fisherman family on the Qinglan River, which is very common, and the family is on the boat regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and rarely goes ashore for no reason. Later, because Jian Huaide's father was greedy for heavy profits, he took the risk of driving a boat to the river bay to catch Qinglan saury, but bad luck struck, the fishing boat capsized, and the family had no life except Jian Huaide.
The young Jane Huaide became an orphan, and the other fishermen saw that he was young and pitiful, so they took turns to give him some food and clothing, so after a few months, the young Jane Huaide disappeared after disembarking from the dock, and the fishermen searched for nothing but to give up. After a long time, no one still remembers this hard-working boy, the fishermen still shuttle on the Qinglan River every day to beg for a living, and all kinds of tragedies of joy and sorrow are still staged from time to time.
But twenty years later, Jian Huaide returned to Yuyang Town, and at this time he had become a monk in the Rotation Period, with high mana, and he was already a fairy-like figure in the eyes of the townspeople.
Jian Huaide chose a site on the hill by the river to found the Yuyang faction, began to recruit disciples, and he also has a skill, the residents of the town say that he can communicate yin and yang, draw the ghost talisman, so he can suppress the water ghost.
Jian Huaide found the fisherman who had helped him back then, and led these people to the river bay to catch the Qinglan saury, which is also strange, as long as he did it on the boat, drew the talisman, and then threw tribute into the river, according to the set of procedures he stipulated, the Qinglan saury in the river bay will not be entangled by water ghosts, although there is no guarantee that the Qinglan saury will be caught, but at least it can return safely.
Since then, a custom has slowly been formed, all fishermen who want to go to the river bay to catch Qinglan saury will prepare sacrifices in advance, come to the sect station, find the cultivators of the Yuyang faction to accompany them, and then drive the boat to the river bay, according to the process formulated by Jian Huaide to pay tribute to the first pass before starting the fishing operation, so that safety can be guaranteed.
Jian Huaide once made a vow that the Yuyang faction would help the fishermen who caught Qinglan saury in the river bay and let them all be safe, and the Yuyang faction only charged a meager remuneration to maintain the sect's expenses, specifically after catching the Qinglan saury, three out of ten as a reward, and strictly ordered the disciples not to increase the remuneration ratio.
Due to the low production of Qinglan saury, although the value is high, but according to the three-percent ratio stipulated by Jian Huaide, the spirit stones obtained are used to maintain the daily expenses of the sect, which is inevitably tense, and it is not enough to spend at all, so the Yuyang faction has to open up the source separately, plant and collect some spirit herbs and elixirs and sell them to Wuning City, which maintains the survival and development of the sect. But in a small place like Yuyang Town, after all, the potential is limited, and the production is not much, and everyone in the sect has a tight life.
But the Yuyang faction has also gained a foothold here since then, and it has been passed to Cheng Yunlin for the third generation, and most of the children of the sect are locals of Yuyang, because the sect has been doing good deeds here for a long time, so it is very respected in Yuyang Town.
