Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Arrival
Linquan country, located in the southwest of Kaiyang Prefecture, is located in a remote and sparsely populated area, but according to its superior geographical location, it is in a dispensable position between Datang and Beiyan, but it is inconspicuous, and no one disturbs it, as if creating a fairyland on earth out of thin air, a paradise, and the country has never been broken for thousands of years.
Although Lin Quanguo has a small territory and a sparse population, it does not hinder a country's political communication and various administrative organizations, from the three provinces and six ministries to the townships, counties, and counties.
Under the management of the state, the people are in good order in various regions, and there is a scene of national peace and security.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances, and Lin Quanguo is no exception.
In a small country, all kinds of gangs are dotted around, and the major sects are competitive and competitive, and the dragons are leaderless, and the internal friction is serious.
For this reason, all kinds of gangs unanimously decided to set up a martial arts alliance leader to preside over the overall situation, but a group of conspirators with wolf ambitions actually took this opportunity to vigorously compete for power, forcibly seize it, and intrigue with each other.
And in this generally, it is divided into two camps, one is the White Alliance dominated by the White Dragon Temple, and the other is the Black Alliance led by the Black Water Villa.
The history of Bailongguan has a long history, according to legend, it is a thousand years ago that a heavenly master traveled down the mountain, and eradicated the big murderer for the Lin Quanguo, and the big murderer was eradicated, but he was seriously injured, and it didn't take long to return to the ruins.
In order to thank Dai De, the late Heavenly Master, the then monarch of the Linquan Kingdom, specially built this White Dragon Temple for this purpose, and the Taoist culture of the Linquan Kingdom began to flourish from then on.
The White Dragon Temple was built by the emperor, at the beginning, of course, it was very deeply connected with the royal family, and there were also some cases of the prince or the retired emperor finally entering the Taoist Temple to seek the Taoist Law, the royal family of Linquan Kingdom saw the prosperity of the incense, and they were happy to see it, and even intentionally or unintentionally contributed to the troubles, for a long time, basically every emperor will deliberately arrange one or two people to be elected into the Taoist Temple, on the surface is to seek enlightenment, in fact, everyone knows it, in order to control a little bit of the power of the White Dragon Temple.
However, such a thing was suddenly isolated overnight, and all the royal children were sent back to the court, and the reason behind it was very simple, just because there was a new master of the White Dragon Temple.
This viewer is mysterious, but his young age is extremely high, but these alone must not make Lin Quanguo suffer a dumb loss.
After all, although the purpose of the White Dragon Temple at the beginning was to spread the Tao and commemorate the Heavenly Master, after the intervention of the royal family, this purpose has obviously completely changed its taste, and it has gradually become another power of the royal family.
You must know that this is not the White Dragon Temple, but more importantly, it insults the national prestige of Lin Quanguo, which is equivalent to a heavy slap to the royal family!
Just when some people who understood thought that the royal family was going to be furious, it turned out to be surprisingly calm, or even no turmoil, and then everyone realized how unusual the background of this new viewer was.
A group of people tried their best to investigate the identity of this viewer, but they found nothing, only knowing that this person's name was Meng Fen.
Until one day, a disciple wearing the Taoist robe of Qingcheng Mountain came here with auspicious clouds and royal wind, and issued an edict ordering the White Dragon Temple to be the authentic Taoist sect, and then people knew that the original White Dragon Temple Master was actually the Taoist master of Qingcheng Mountain.
Not only that, but even the identity of the deceased Heavenly Master has surfaced, also from the ancestral court of Taoism in the world, Qingcheng Mountain!
As for Blackwater Villa, it pales in comparison to the long history of the White Dragon Temple.
Heishui Villa is a powerful gang in the rivers and lakes, and if the entire gang wants to say that it is really a person who can be on the stage, except for the owner of Heishui Villa, Fang Wang and several elders, it is really not very powerful.
But it is such a gang that seems to be out of the stream, but it can get the trust of a group of Jianghu scattered cultivators and Jianghu sects, and a group of people all revolve around Blackwater Villa and choose to support and compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
The reason is also very simple, although the high-end combat power of Heishui Villa is scarce, there are many people, second only to the beggar gang disciples, but the beggar gang disciples are used to having no leader, and there is no cohesion, and the competition is destined to be difficult.
The so-called unity is strength, and a chopstick does not have to pass a pair of chopsticks after all, that is to say.
However, it is not known how many of the supporters are sincere.
......
Zhang Yuanyi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, had just come to Lin Quanguo, it was already very dark, and the so-called inns in Lin Quanguo, which was not rich at night, were even rarer, even in the big cities of Linquan Country, he couldn't find an inn for most of the streets, so he could only roam around on a white horse.
Zhang Yuanyi repeatedly flipped through the edict in his hand, puzzled, "The edict said that Lin Quanguo has been in trouble because of the matter of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the people have suffered for a long time, but I didn't see much bloody rain along the way, but it looked quite quiet." ”
Walking along the map, Lin Quanguo is a little poor as a small country, the kind of lively streets, rows of buildings, and brightly lit night markets are very few, but relatively like the kind of people who are not able to make a living, and there are few scenes of people scattered with corpses, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary small country scene.
Zhang Yuanyi put away the Taoist robe on his body, although it was already summer, but the weather in Beiyan was special, once it was dark, there would still be an extremely cold feeling, but in an instant, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and the cold feeling of the aura rising slightly disappeared instantly.
He took a deep breath and, in the darkness of the night, led the horse and continued to walk forward.
Zhang Yuan took a look at the surrounding environment, quiet and silent, only a few subtle candles were still swaying and burning in the night, not long after, there were candles extinguished one after another, and after a while, only one or two were still flickering, looking very cold.
Zhang Yuanyi inexplicably felt a little familiar, this feeling was very similar to the scene when he woke up at the intersection of Jewelry Town, it was also the cold air, the faint lights, the dark dome, and he was lonely.
It's just that he's lucky to have met too many good people who can't be repaid in his life, and he's come all the way here, and it's really interesting to think about it now.
The people I met along the way, the things I encountered, and the scenery I saw seemed to be still yesterday, vaguely visible.
Combined with the Taoist robe that Zhang Yuanyi is wearing at this moment, it looks like the outfit when he traveled far away with his master, a young man, but he is taller, and he is not as easy as before when he walks.
As for why Zhang Yuanyi is reluctant to treat people in green shirts, but comes out in Taoist robes, there are two main reasons for this, one is that the national Taoism of Linquan is prosperous, and the people treat most Taoist priests with courtesy and kindness. Wearing a robe can save a lot of trouble more or less, and it is very convenient.
There is a bigger reason, or Zhang Yuanyi does not have too deep recognition of his identity as a Confucian disciple, but has always regarded himself as a Taoist priest in his heart, and the influence of his master Zhang Daoling is still deep-rooted in this aspect.
Zhang Yuan saw that he had been gone for a long time, but he couldn't find an inn to settle in, he was a little irritable in his heart, and complained: "This place is too weird, it's like a ghost prevention at night, everyone closes the door, it's clear that there are still two hours left, and it's too early to sleep, what should I do with outsiders like me for a long night?"
According to Zhang Yuanyi's experience during that time, any city you go to, even if it is just a small township, you shouldn't go to sleep so early at this point, not to mention those lively big cities, one by one, you can't wait to be lively for three days and three nights, and the lights are red and green all night, and the colorful embroidery is fluttering.
Even in those small towns, one or two inns should remain open anyway, so as to accommodate one or two tourists who pass by and stay overnight.
But this place really made Zhang Yuanyi feel speechless, and it was terrifying to close the door.
In the dark night, the road ahead was empty, and from time to time there was a few whimpering night winds, and the leaves rustled.
Just when Zhang Yuan thought that he would never find an inn again, and was about to find a broken temple to rest like before, in the dark night, a cold light suddenly flashed!
"Get out of here!" There was a lean-looking man, wielding a large sword in his hand, riding on a sturdy horse, and the sound of riding the horse was non-stop, and the horse galloped fast!
Compared to the lean man's figure, the large knife he held in his hand looked very out of place.
The big knife was almost half a man's height, and I don't know how he wielded it.
The fast horse galloped very fast, just facing Zhang Yuanyi, who was leading the horse slowly, at this time, it was obviously too late to turn the horse's head, and the other party was also a ruthless character, it is estimated that such a thing has not been done, and I have seen a lot, and he is very arrogant.
And the big horse he is riding is very strong, he deliberately selected it for tonight's task, and it is known as the "mountain horse", even if Zhang Yuan is knocked out, it will not affect the speed at all!
So he turned his heart sideways and hit Zhang Yuanyi straight up!
Zhang Yuanyi squinted his eyes and calmly looked at the horse that crashed into him, still hesitating in his heart.
At the moment when the horse was about to collide with Zhang Yuanyi, even the horse rider thought that Zhang Yuanyi would be knocked into a pulp immediately, but Zhang Yuanyi's body disappeared suddenly at a very fast speed, and the horse crashed into the air and threw himself into the darkness ahead!
The other party is obviously in a hurry, although it is like hitting a ghost, and he pounces into the air, but his speed is still not reduced in the slightest, and he still whips and gallops!
Mr. Zhang Yuanyi patted the dust on his body again, sighed, pretended to be old, and said to himself: "Alas, young people nowadays, how to do things so panicked, anxious, uncertain, uncertain." ”
Previously, he hesitated whether to intercept the opponent's horse or silently dodge, but in the end he chose the latter.
Although he looks handsome and has an extraordinary bearing, after all, this is the rivers and lakes, and it is not good if he accidentally overturns the boat in the gutter, so everything is better to be careful.
It was much easier for him to dodge, and the tiptoes were gone.
As for where he went, of course, it was still within the mysterious starry sky realm, as long as he was under the Tengyun Realm and did not encounter a demon like Yuwenjun, Zhang Yuanyi was confident that if he didn't come out, no one would be able to discover himself, which was also the profound mystery of Zhang Daoling's "Danyang Xuanjue", entering and exiting the space was like entering a no-man's land!
"Catch up with him for me!Damn, dare to come to our wolf tooth gang to make trouble, I think you are full of food and support, tired of life!" Just when Zhang Yuanyi had just dodged the lean man's horse, an angry roar came from behind him.
Followed by a series of rumbling horses' hooves, Zhang Yuanyi did not hesitate this time, and disappeared again.
"Boss, this guy seems to be the little monkey of the Hungry Tiger Gang who fought with us two days ago!" said another man in a sharp voice after that roar.
I was dodging and panicking just now, and I didn't have time to see what was going on, but now that my body was stable, Zhang Yuanyi saw what was going on behind it.
I saw that in the darkness, a strong man with a huge mace in his hand and strong muscles took the lead in breaking through the darkness, obviously a gang leader, and behind him, there was a large group of fierce and vicious men, each holding a heavy weapon in his hand, and it was not a good stubble at first glance!
When the sturdy man heard the words of the people around him, he became even more furious, and said viciously: "Damn! It's the Hungry Tiger Gang again, today Lao Tzu has to destroy all these miscellaneous pieces! And this little monkey, Lao Tzu is going to unload his skeleton and stew soup to drink!"
Originally, several of their brothers were still drinking and celebrating because they had won a little territory a few days ago, but they drank to the point of normal, and a lean strange man appeared, and it didn't matter at first, but the other party said, "Don't you think this wine tastes a little strong?"
Originally, they felt weird when they drank alcohol, and they were not stupid, and they suddenly understood that they were obviously manipulated by the other party, and it was obvious that they were all practicing family medicine in general, but the strange thing is that this smell is very similar to that smell, and everyone was furious!
All of them are bullies and bandits with strong blood, who can endure this kind of thing, and they chase them out on horseback!
A herd of fast horses passed at great speed, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
Zhang Yuanyi slowly appeared, looked at the back of the other party, and said thoughtfully: "Little monkey? ”
After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse and chased after him in the night.
