Chapter 62: The Storm in Yuhai
The warrior is the most lethal monk among the hundred schools and various religions. At that time, the patriarch surnamed Sun of the military family was known as an invincible person in the world. Not only is its own lethality amazing, and it has long been among the mystical Xuanwu realms, but it is also proficient in the way of dispatching troops, which can be called a god in the use of soldiers. At that time, when the countries were competing for hegemony and competing for power, this person once led less than 30,000 people all the way to capture the capital of a country whose strength and national strength were far superior to his own, which can be called a god in a war.
Later, many young people with the ambition to join the WTO worshiped under him, and the military family grew stronger and stronger. On the occasion of the ascension of the patriarch surnamed Sun, he compiled his life understanding of the way of using soldiers into a book and left it for generations to pass on to the soldiers. Although this book is only more than 6,000 words, it can be described as a pearl of words, and it is regarded as the most holy classic by the later generations of soldiers.
Subsequently, the military family gradually evolved into various lineages, and there were many, many forces that had been inherited for tens of millions of years and used the military path as the foundation of their own faction. The disciples of the sect may still stay in the sect to practice and seek martial arts to ascend, but more people will choose to join the WTO and join the army. Therefore, gradually two veins were formed among the soldiers, those who seek the ultimate in their own killing power, and those who seek the perfection of the art of war, but the two veins are not incompatible, but each has its own emphasis.
Nowadays, although the various lineages of the military family have spread out in the rivers and lakes and courts of Great Xia and even the whole world, they have also become the knowledge of the three sects among the hundred princes, and the two veins of Mofa are indistinguishable. But the descendants of the patriarch surnamed Sun have few comments in the temples and rivers and lakes.
When everyone in the world thought that the Sun family had long since declined, twelve years ago, a person who claimed to be the ancestor of the military family suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. Many sect forces of the military family felt that this person was grandstanding and insulting the inheritance of the military family, so they went to ask this person. But the result shook the rivers and lakes, whether it was asking with martial arts or with the art of war, the young leaders of the contemporary military family who went to provoke all returned with feathers. Then some elders from the sect went to visit this person, and when they went, they were still arrogant, believing that they were orthodox in the doctrine of soldiers. But when he returned, he was all announced to the whole world, and there was no doubt that this person was indeed the descendant of the ancestor surnamed Sun, but no matter how outsiders asked, they were secretive about the details.
The descendants of the Sun family became famous, and the world thought that such a high-profile move by this person was to increase his worth for joining the WTO. What surprised everyone again was that whether it was the Great Xia Chai clan or the Southern Liang Zhao clan, or even some other monarchs or major family forces, they all invited this person to join the WTO with full sincerity, but they were all politely refused. Countless amazing young heroes also want to apprentice under this person. This man made a rule that every three years he would go somewhere in the world, and that the whole world might come and talk to him. The so-called discourse is to pass the test set by this person, and if you pass, you can learn the technique with yourself for three years, until three years later, you can recruit new disciples again.
Therefore, there is no clear quota for this ingenious acceptance of apprentices every three years, with more than ten people and as few as one or two. And the place where this person appears is not fixed every time. Every year on the third day of the lunar month, it will be reported that the place of the tenth day of the lunar month will be heard. And because of the tight time and the New Year's Festival, often only the warriors of the state where this person appears may have the opportunity to go. This method of accepting disciples is more like the fate of Buddhism and Taoism.
And on the third day of the lunar month this year, the warriors of Liyangzhou got exciting good news. Because the descendants of the Sun family, who appeared in Bokan Prefecture three years ago, will appear in Anyang County in Liyang Prefecture seven days later. On the 10th day of the lunar month, a ferry boat at the wharf of Yuhai County, Anyang County is the place of inquiry this year.
Since the third year of junior high school, there have been warriors who have come to the South China Sea, most of them are young monks who have just set foot in the martial arts, mountain and wild cultivators who have no backing background, or people who have already worshiped in the military sect but have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation.
Yuhai County is an ordinary city in the south of Liyang, and its wharf is not large, and the ferry boat that does not dock too much is large, so most of the fishing boats that go out to sea to fish are anchored here. Occasionally, you can see some short-distance ferries that take less than five days. In the past few days, the fishing capital, which was not bustling at all, has become lively. Visitors from all over the world are either seeking their own opportunities, or just to make up for the excitement of this once-in-a-three years, they have poured into Yuhai City.
Of course, there are many people from the sect among the outsiders. They are calculating that they can recruit a few young people with decent talents to enter the sect, or they can become registered disciples first and cultivate them slowly. If you are extremely talented, you can also write your name directly in the pedigree of the ancestor hall and cultivate it carefully as a disciple.
After all, no matter how high the vision of the descendants of the Sun clan is, it is not that if you have some cultivation talent or understanding that is slightly better than ordinary people, you will preach to you for three years. And these young people who were ambitious and even arrogant and thought that they could ascend to the sky in one step, if they were not selected by the Sun family, they would definitely be extremely shocked. If you say something to them at this time to praise their talents, and at the same time promise them an infinitely bright future, these young people who have just been frustrated will surely be grateful for finding Bole who appreciates their talents, and they will not hesitate to join these sects.
The best thing in the world is the human heart, and this moment of knowing the grace is often the original intention of these young people to serve the sect with death in the future. After all, when people are the most hungry in their hearts, even if you draw bread to satisfy the other party's hunger, it is extremely useful. As for whether you are really grateful for this meal or whether you are blinded by your mind, you can only ask your heart.
There aren't many inns in Yuhai City. The innkeepers, who have not seen their own business so hot for several years, have the audacity to raise the house price again and again, and it is still overcrowded, and it is difficult to find a room. Then the local people found a business opportunity, and they packed up a clean house of their own and rented it to the warriors who came from afar at a higher price than the inn, after all, everyone came from thousands of miles away, and they would no longer feel sorry for these silver coins.
Local fishing boats and ferries docked at the pier are also reluctant to miss out on this opportunity to make money. Not to mention the danger of going out to sea to fish, the revenue is far less than that of vacating the cabin as a temporary inn to rent to those warriors who do not have a lot of pockets. There are already cabins in the ferry, and some of them are far more comfortable than the upper rooms of the inn. What's more, the place to ask questions is on a ferry boat at the pier, and if you stay on a passenger ship, you can get close to the water and get the moon first. Therefore, the ferry has become the most sought-after place to stay, and it has become a gladiatorial arena for the forces of the major sects to secretly compete for their respective power backgrounds.
As an authentic fishing capital, Yuhai County rarely comes to the warriors on weekdays, so the soldiers who defend the city naturally have never seen so many martial arts cultivators flock to it. Most of them are still existences that they can't afford to offend, so the investigation into the city is useless. The gates opened, and several guards yawned against the walls, allowing pedestrians and horses to enter. Inside the gates, some women and men who had gathered guests for their homes or for the ferries, and when they saw people who were dressed in cars or on foot, they would go up and fight for them. Those who came on foot and dressed in ordinary clothes were left out in the cold. Even if these people politely stepped forward to ask about the house price, most of them were met with the other party's eyes, with an expression that our house prices are very expensive, can you afford to live. When unwilling to ask the price again, after hearing the other party's lion open mouth, he will go to the pier to find a fishing boat to settle down.
As soon as a carriage entered the city, it was stopped by several people. A few men spat at a middle-aged man with a somewhat sallow face who was driving, and explained how good and cheap the cabin of their ferry was. Behind the men, there were also several women who tried to squeeze in and pull the fat sheep in front of them into their own homes.
"There were three of us and we needed three rooms. Yun Xuelan said to a few guys with a smile.
"No problem, we have just two first-class cabins on board, and you can live in the boatman's bilge with the rest of the men. A boat guy with a monkey's cheek said.
"This lord, don't listen to him, he has so no eyesight, how can you live in the bilge, master. We have three B-class rooms left on board. ”
"Sir, don't go to them, they have died on the ship before, and it is not clean. ”
"Guest officer, we have three first-class guest rooms on board. ”
"Don't fool this lord here, the first-class cabin on your ship is not as good as our second-class cabin. ”
Everyone, you say a word, but it's more like a matchmaker for your own children. In the end, Yun Xuelan still followed a guy in his thirties. That's not much, man, because our own passenger ship is the oldest. Neither the size of the rooms nor the conditions of the rooms are comparable to those of several other competitors. Therefore, he kept blushing in the crowd and was embarrassed to speak. After inquiring, Yun Xuelan learned that because the conditions of the passenger ship were poor and the owner of the ship refused to reduce the price, the business was not very good. Most of the cabins on the ship are empty. Yun Xuelan valued the cleanliness of this ship.
Yun Xuelan ignored the eyes of everyone looking at him as if he was a fool or a wronged man, and drove to the dock with his buddies. There are three decks on this ship. The trio chose three first-class rooms on the top floor.
As soon as the three of them entered the cabin and were about to go upstairs, they heard a young man shouting from upstairs: "I have chartered this boat, let the other guests on the ship change places." I will pay for the house. Then there was the sound of footsteps coming downstairs.
A middle-aged man who was a little submissive smiled in an accent from An Yang's area: "This son, there are two guests on the ship who have followed our ship all the way here. I paid for the boat trip before, and then I had to go back with our boat. Isn't it good to ask people to move out now?"
"Then wait for Young Master Ben to be selected by the Sun family before calling them back. In this Anyang County, there are no people I want to chase but can't get rid of. The voice rang out at the corner of the staircase, becoming more and more arrogant. A young man in a gorgeous blue robe appeared in the sight of the four who had just entered the cabin.
The young man wore a crown inlaid with a few blue beads, his face was not fair, and his forehead bone was protruding, which was the appearance of the aborigines of Anyang County. The young man was followed by four middle-aged men in dark blue shirts, each with a harpoon logo on their chests. Behind him was a groveling middle-aged man in his fifties, who was supposed to be the owner of the ship.
The six people who went downstairs also saw Yun Xuelan and his party who were about to go up the stairs. Before the owner of the boat could speak, a middle-aged man behind the young man in Chinese clothes spoke: "This boat has been chartered by our young master." Change places. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it directly on the ground, grunting and rolling to Ding Ye's feet.
The young man in the black felt hat kicked the silver away, "This boat master has doubled his wallet, you guys get out of here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand without looking back, and laid his palm flat in front of the grim-faced young man. The latter took out a bag of money from his bosom and put it in the young man's hand this time.
At this moment, the two walked in from the deck on the other side. A man in white dressed in scholar's clothes, with the appearance of a young man, followed by an old woman with gray hair, with a slightly rickety figure and a little haggard.
At this time, the boat owner went downstairs and came to Yun Xuelan and the others, obviously treating Ding Ye as the person headed by the three. He smiled apologetically at the boy in the black felt hat. "I'm so sorry about this son. This Du Gongzi has already wrapped up this ship. You see, can you settle down somewhere? As he spoke, he glanced at the guy who brought the three of them.
Ding Ye said curiously: "Boss, you are open to do business and welcome customers." How much money does the blue-clothed person pay for the charter boat, I pay double. ”
Before the boss could answer, the middle-aged man in white, who had just entered the cabin, stepped forward and asked with displeasure on his face: "Boatman, what is the situation? We paid the fare early, why did someone charter the boat?"
"This son is the son of the head of the Sea Hunting Association in Anyang County. I'm going to charter this boat now, and Young Master Ben likes to be clean and doesn't like to be disturbed, so you all move out. As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man in white, "You paid the boat fare, and my son compensated in full." When the question of the first ten grandsons is over, you will come back. ”
"This Du Gongzi, we have been living on the ship for many days. What's more, you see that my old servant is not in good health, and now that the inn in the city is already full, where should we go to stay? Please also ask Du Gongzi to make it convenient. After all, this ship is so big, if Childe is afraid of being disturbed, we can move to the second or third class room. ”
"Where do you settle down, it's my, and then I'll throw you into the sea without any rambling. Several strong men behind him understood and stepped forward one after another.
"It's really overbearing. Ding Ye was not to be outdone, "I'll see who dares to throw us out." As he spoke, he stuffed the money bag into the boss's arms, "Boss, clean up these five flies." Young Master Ben also doesn't like to be disturbed. ”
The middle-aged man in white and the old woman looked at the young man in the black felt hat, as if they felt that no matter who chartered the boat, the two of them would have to sleep on the streets. The boss stood there with some embarrassment.
"Dare to go against my sea hunting club in Anyang County, it's really boring. Leave me aboard. With that, the four subordinates rushed towards Yun Xuelan and the white-clothed middle-aged man. After a few breaths, the sound of five falling water alarmed the people on several nearby boats. Everyone rushed to the deck to check.
"Isn't this Du Jingtao, the young master of the Sea Hunting Society? Who is so bold as to dare to throw this person into the sea. ”
"He relied on the power of the Du family to fly in this Anyang County, and he was used to it. It's really relieving to have such an end now. ”
"I heard that this person will be avenged, and if you offend him, I am afraid that there will be big trouble. ”
"That is, his father is old and doting on him, if he knows that his son is being bullied, then the other party will be unlucky. ”
"I don't think so, now there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this city, maybe there are some people from the power of the big sect. This kid surnamed Du didn't have long eyes and offended the existence he couldn't afford to provoke. ”
While everyone was talking, the five swam ashore. The young man in blue glared viciously at the boat that he had fallen into the water, but he still left in a gloomy manner.
"This son, you see that the two of us have come from out of town, and there is nowhere to stay......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a wave of the young man in the black felt hat, "You two can stay on the boat with peace of mind." ”
Ding Ye didn't care about the grateful glances cast by the middle-aged and old woman, and stretched out his hand to the shipowner who was still stunned. The boat owner looked at the young man puzzled, not knowing what the other party meant. ”
"Bring it!" Ding Ye said.
"What, what?" the boss asked tremblingly.
"Money!"
The boss took a few steps back in fright.
"Our money, now that the flies are gone, we don't need to charter boats anymore. You're not going to have to put all this money away, are you?"
"But, but this ......," the boss muttered.
"But what's it, let your guy go out and solicit guests on his own. The master doesn't want to wrap you up like a broken ship, what do you do. ”
The boss wanted to argue about anything, but when he thought of the black-clothed servant before, or he hadn't seen this person make a move, his heart was cold. I had to obediently return the money bag.
I just thought that if it was rumored that there were so many killers living on his ship, who else would dare to live on the ship.
