Chapter 9: Yunxi
"Cloud idiot... Teng Guo said drunkenly.
"'Cloud Idiot', he's been dead for five years," Teng Guo said in a low voice, with a hint of sadness in his expression.
"Dead?" Yue Feng's face changed.
When he first entered the West Garden to practice martial arts, he was a child of an ordinary family, and he attracted Yue Feng's attention because he was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe.
'Cloud idiot' Yun Tian, very strong, very angry, but a little persistent in martial arts, also known as 'manic cloud idiot', because Yue Feng and Tianyun had unpleasant things when they practiced martial arts, so they have a deep memory of this person.
is the so-called no fight, no acquaintance, so the two have also established a friendship.
Tianyun's family opened a shop in the mountains and forests, and when the business was very large, Tianyun was only fourteen years old.
Teng Guo is the son of Uncle Teng, a servant of the Yun family, because he always followed Tianyun when he practiced martial arts at that time, he was handsome and frail, and shy, so he was nicknamed 'Xiaoguo'er by his friends
Strictly speaking, Tengguo is equivalent to a small follower, Yue Feng and 'Cloud Idiot' Tianyun are the two most capable people in the Xiyuan martial arts training field, after the conflict, the friendship between the two is heating up in the practice of martial arts, and the two often compete and compete.
'Cloud idiot' Yuntian's sister Yunxi came together when he was practicing martial arts, Yue Feng was extremely concerned about his sister, because when he was a child, Yue Feng also had a younger sister, but he died of illness a few years ago, because Tianyun and his sister looked very similar, and even their temper and temperament were very similar.
Yue Feng and 'Cloud Idiot' Tianyun have a good relationship in private, how could they not believe that a person like 'Cloud Idiot' Yuntian who can be regarded as strong and wealthy would die?
"What the hell is going on, how did you die?" Yue Feng suddenly felt distressed, but the scene when the teenagers practiced martial arts together was vivid, and it came to mind, but his eyes gradually turned red.
"I was going to take a suitable time to tell you in private after the feast was over, and I would tell you slowly. Tengguo said in a low voice.
Yue Feng glanced at Liu Ye, always worried that he would not be able to resist the cold of the West Garden if he was injured.
"You also know that Yun Tian's father is a businessman, and it is inevitable that he will meet all kinds of people in the mountains and forests and trade with them, but just five years ago, there was an accident and an accident. Teng Guo whispered into his ear.
"What's the matter?" Yue Feng asked.
"The Yunjia shop received an order, and this list is very large. Teng Guo said, "Just after buying the goods, the cloud idiot planned to trade in person, he promised the head of the family to go back quickly, but at the time of the transaction, he encountered the robbery of the demons, those demons killed people without blinking, not only the goods were all plundered, but also the people who transported them were all killed, it is said that this battle, there is no living mouth, I also know from the conversation between the head of the family and the lady afterwards." ”
Yue Feng held his wine glass and was silent for a long time.
Demons...
Ordinary merchants do business, if they encounter demons or robbers on the way, they will generally hand over the goods, and the demons will give up, but if there are immortal cultivators among the merchants, they can also be lucky enough to kill a few demons with spells.
However, not all caravans will have it, and it will take less time.
"Such a demon. Yue Feng clenched his teeth, and the upper and lower gums made a sound with hatred.
Sometimes this kind of thing requires the heart and strength to be in danger, and sometimes the practice of martial arts will really turn the crisis into a crisis, but it is always good to be healthy, but there are people outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and sometimes the practice of martial arts is just a drop in the bucket.
"What about Yunxi?" Yue Feng asked.
As soon as Yun Tian died, there was only one female doll left among the juniors of the Yun family.
"The more goods there are, the greater the loss to the Yun family, not only the goods were plundered, but also many lives were killed, and the Yun family had to lose money. Tengguo shook his head slowly and said.
"However, Yuntian's sister Yunxi still has righteousness, the shop is gone, the head of the family lives in a panic all day long, the servants of the family and the cadres of his subordinates have left the Yun family, after Yunxi sold all the assets of the Yun family, it was not enough for everyone's compensation, and then it was not enough to lose money, so he was forced to sell it to the Xiangyilou gambling house, and he made up enough silver. Tengguo said.
"Sold to Xiangyi Building?" After Yue Feng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
Fortunately, it was not sold to the Flower Street Willow Market.
Fortunately, Xiangyilou is the most formal place in the mountains and forests, even if the flow of people is surging every day, but most of the people inside are just people who go to gamble, and the owner of the gambling house has a set of strict management system, unlike some ordinary gambling houses, what three religions and nine streams of people have, and even some kind of transaction.
"Do you know what Yunxi is doing in the gambling house?" Yue Feng asked.
"I don't know, but I heard that Yunxi doesn't go to the front hall of the gambling house very much, as if he is in the back hall to serve the wealthy guests. Tengguo replied.
Some kind of transaction, although it is very despised by people, but in the gambling house, this matter is just a kind of interest in playing after those gamblers are tired of gambling, but the good ones have been occupied by the wealthy sons, after all, there is a lot of money, but there are also some people who do not have any bottom line, they are gambling on the surface, but there is this kind of transaction behind the scenes.
Of course, some gambling houses are a little irregular in the mountains and forests, but secretly do things of wealth, and the government in the mountains and forests has no way, just because someone sent them money, so it has been open for so many years.
There are also this kind of things in regular gambling houses, but most people are buying art and not selling themselves, and according to the time limit, the management system of gambling houses is also undergoing huge changes.
"Yunxi was originally the youngest daughter of the Yun family, because she loved the piano when she was young, the head of the Yun family sent her to study, and her appearance is also very good. Tengguo then said.
"I originally wanted to help the Yun family, as a servant of the Yun family, I should be grateful, but my family is poor, and I really can't help the Yun family, at that time, the Yun family's compensation needed 100,000 taels, and the Yun family was bankrupt before and after 30,000 taels, and my family only took out 1,000, which is just a drop in the bucket. ”
"Thirty thousand taels?" Yue Feng nodded in surprise, he didn't expect that the family of the deceased would start with a lion, and he was also ruthless to the Yun family, after all, they had been with the Yun family for so long, they had no affection, and they also had kindness.
"There are still 30,000 taels left, at that time, Yunxi felt that he had talent, so he found the gambling house, and after putting forward some conditions, then, Xiangyilou was willing to bear it, which was quite rare. ”
Maybe the boss of Xiangyilou took a fancy to Yunxi's appearance, or maybe he felt that this woman had some usable value, but these are unknown.
"Three days later, we went to Xiangyi Building. Yue Feng said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Tengguo nodded.
Although I want to meet Yunxi, it's just that the gambling house doesn't open every hour all day, only at night, and Yunxi has been in Xiangyi Building for five years, so he must not be in the front hall, and he is not in a hurry At this time, Yue Feng is also here to accompany many friends.
"Brother Yue Feng, why don't you drink it?"
"Yes, yes, come on, don't get drunk and don't go home. ”
Friends greeted.
"Come, come, come. Yue Feng smiled reluctantly, he was really not in the mood, after hearing Tengguo's words, he thought of his best friend dying, and his sister was still in the gambling house, I don't know how he was doing, whether he was being despised by the people who climbed the road, and he suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
"Brother Yue Feng. "A man dressed freely walked towards the place where Yue Feng was sitting, and sat next to Yue Feng, this person was the 'Dust Boy' who formed the West Garden, and said with a smile: "Brother Yue is now an eighth-order strong body, he has been cultivating in the martial arts training ground alone for many years, and he is already the best among us in all aspects of his body, we all envy you very much, now you should find the immortal fate and immediately advance to the ninth order, right?"
"After suffering hardship, I finally stepped into the ninth order!" Yue Feng said.
Duchen Gongzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Admiration, admiration, you are the only one in our mountains and rivers who is a ninth-order, and do you know what I admire you the most?"
Yue Feng was puzzled.
"Admire your efforts and guts. "With your hard work and talent, it is estimated that it will be easy to join the cultivation sect outside the mountains and forests, and it is not difficult to practice the road, but you don't want to join it, you would rather worship some famous sects than join these small sects, maybe cultivating the immortal road requires you to have such an original intention!"
Yue Feng was stunned and said: "Don't praise me, I was very yearning for cultivation at the beginning, I hope that I can find the fairy fate as soon as possible, look for the immortal trace, and often secretly come to the martial arts training ground, regardless of the wind and rain, I have been gritting my teeth and persevering, but then I encountered some things, so I didn't think much about practicing martial arts, but since I chose, I must go all the way to the dark." ”
"It's already great to be able to persevere, I hope you find the fairy trail as soon as possible, and the future is bright. The young man said slowly, picking up the wine glass on the table as he spoke, "I respect you!"
Yue Feng also raised his wine glass.
The two bumped hard.
After drinking the wine, the young man of Duchen immediately said: "You are different from us, if you break through the tenth level of strengthening your body and enter the outer cultivation, you can live to be 100 years old, if you step into the Void Dan Realm, you can live to 300 years old, if you step into the Void Dan Realm, you can live to 500 years old, if you step into the Jindan Realm, you can become a real immortal, and in the future, when those of us who were playmates with you in our youth become underground people, maybe you are still very young." ”
Yue Feng's eyes were indifferent, he looked at his friends everywhere in front of the table blankly, didn't say anything, silently picked up the wine jug on the table and poured wine into his wine glass.
The stars in the sky had gradually dispersed, and the moonlight had dimmed a little.
Yue Feng was worried about Liu Ye's health, so he wanted to leave, but declined his friend's invitation to the party, and the three of them left.
Yuefu, at the door.
"You go back first, Tengguo and I still have something to say. Yue Feng said to Liu Ye.
"Okay." Liu Ye replied. Immediately, he led the horse he was riding back to the house.
"Let's go, let's go to the Xiangyilou Casino. ”
Immediately, the two got on their horses and left.
