Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cangjun and the Thirteen Gates (Part II)
The so-called Thirteen Doors is an institution set up by Yan Chaozhou County, whose responsibilities include driving guards, patrolling and arresting, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and suppressing evil spirits.
Originally, it was just the eyes and ears of the royal family of the Yan Dynasty, and was ordered to inspect the world and suppress the immortal road, and later because the world was peaceful and the martial arts were prosperous, its duty evolved into patrolling and arresting lawbreakers.
Because there are thirteen states in the world, one state has a door, a total of thirteen doors, so it is called "thirteen doors", referred to as "thirteen gates".
Yu Xiu had been in the ghost market before, and he had learned about this force from the ghost market newspaper, and when he came to Cangjun, he planned to go to the location of the Thirteen Gates to visit.
Now that a mandrill has been killed on the road, it is considered that in addition to a demon spirit, there is just a suitable reason to go for a walk.
After entering the city, the convoy deliberately divided several people, led by the old dart head, to help Yu Xiu drag the mandrill corpse to the thirteen gates.
Walking along the way, Yu Xiu silently thought in his heart: "The so-called 'Thirteen Gates' are similar to the embroidered messengers of the Han Dynasty and the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the minions of the imperial court to inspect and control the world. ”
But this world is different, and the six doors that are closer to what the family said are a means for the Yan Dynasty to control and absorb folk warriors. ”
The Yan Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and its victory was due to the use of strong bows and crossbows, the art of war, and martial arts, which destroyed the previous dynasty supported by the Immortal Dao and controlled by the Taoists.
Therefore, after the founding of the country, it was natural to vigorously promote martial arts and train martial artists, lest the Taoist priests and others succeed in restoration.
And with the power of the whole country to compile the book "Martial Arts", in just a few decades, it has made the world practice martial arts in an endless stream, like a carp crossing the river, in one fell swoop to suppress the immortal Dao into the evil demon Dao.
However, the increase in the number of warriors in the world has also increased the number of lawless warriors in various places, and these warriors often gather in one side, becoming gangsters and sects.
Hence the creation of the "Thirteen Doors" institution.
Yu Xiu thought carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly.
When this organization was first established and announced to the world, it was originally selected from the army of the Son of Heaven to suppress and arrest illegal warriors, but due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, it had to take people from various states and counties, which was the name of "Thirteen Gates".
Later, due to the lack of manpower, the means became killing, co-opting, and dividing, and vigorously recruited local samurai, which became another way for samurai to be promoted in addition to joining the army.
This move also laid the foundation for the current situation of the division of states and counties.
According to the introduction in the ghost market newspaper, Yu Xiu learned that the major forces in the world began with nothing more than two ways, one was to control the military power of the four sides of Yanting, and the four major gates came from this;
The second is to control the thirteen doors in various places, and the five major families and the rest are all starting from this.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought that when the four-eyed Taoist priest introduced the ghost market newspaper, he commented on one of the "rankings", which was originally for Taoist priests to measure the strength of the world's immortal martial arts.
It is only in the ignorance of later generations that it is used to boast of fame.
Now thinking about it, a thought popped up in Yu Xiu's mind: "Is "Persona" also for Taoist priests to understand the situation in the world?"
Thinking about it carefully, he even guessed in his heart: "The ghost markets in various places are the thirteen doors imitated by people in the Immortal Dao, and their purpose is not only for the Taoist priests to communicate with each other, but to cultivate the strength of the Immortal Dao and win over the warriors from all over the world......"
After thinking about it, Yu Xiu suddenly felt that the situation in the world was chaotic, and the turmoil was treacherous, like a cloud and mist, which made people unable to see clearly. But one thing is certain......
Yu Xiu pinched his brows and sighed lightly: "This Yan Dynasty will be finished sooner or later!"
After thinking about it, he looked at the scenery in Cangjun City, and found that the pedestrians were rubbing shoulders, very prosperous, and several people pulled the carriage, and from time to time they had to avoid.
And Yu Xiu walked all the way, and inadvertently saw several pillars of blood and smoke rising in the crowd, and they were warriors and the like.
When he got close to the location of the Thirteen Gates, he found that the people who came and went were all strong and strong, carrying bows and swords, all dressed as rangers, and among them, there were no longer a few people who were strong in blood.
Yu Xiu had been mixed in the county and township before, he was not very familiar with Cangjun, and he had never entered the Thirteen Gate Station, but with the old dart head here, he didn't need to bother.
Everyone pulled the carriage and came to a place with wide streets, vermilion gates, blue bricks and black tiles, which was the station of the thirteen gates of Cangjun.
Before they entered the door, as soon as they lifted the tarpaulin to reveal the mandrill corpse on the car, the idle people passing by around were attracted and came over to comment on it.
"Such a black-haired giant ape, I don't know how much strength I have? Is it almost a mastiff?" "Dare to ask which strong man is besides this fang?" ......
Some people saw that the old dart head was the leader, and stepped forward to put on a close: "This brother, I don't know if this giant ape's corpse can be sold?"
Because there are often people at the thirteen gates who fight tigers and eliminate monsters, they come to receive rewards, and the flesh and blood such as tiger meat and monsters are mostly great supplements, and they can practice martial arts and medicine.
Yu Xiu was also slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
It was a little noisy outside the venue for a while, because the giant apes were spirits, and there were officials in the thirteen gates who immediately walked out and invited Yu Xiu and others to enter.
After an evaluation record, weighing and arguing, the steps are clear, and the people in the thirteen doors are quite familiar with it, and they obviously do it often. Yu Xiu even saw people walking in from time to time, shouting to receive a reward.
In the end, the thirteen sects assessed the mandrill class as a nine-grade high-grade spirit, but because this fang has not yet been on the list of demon hunting, only rumors, the bounty is only 10,000 yuan, just to encourage.
Seeing this, the old dart head couldn't help but regret "It's early, it's early", and bluntly said that if the mandrill is on the demon hunting list, the bounty will be at least more than 50,000 yuan.
Yu Xiu didn't care about this assessment and the bounty, but he was surprised that the other party paid the bounty on the spot, and he didn't even ask everyone's names and feet.
After taking the bounty, the mandrill corpse still belonged to Yu Xiu and others. As soon as they walked out of the thirteen gates, there were immediately domestic drug dealers and others who came forward to compete for purchases.
After a little thought, Yu Xiu only left the heart of the mandrill, and let the old dart head take care of the rest.
After a lot of hard work, the mandrill corpse was cut and sold, and the old dart head was also bought cheaply.
Yu Xiu got more than 70,000 yuan, which added up to one-third of the net worth of the monk of Nanren Temple, which made him much more abundant again.
After pushing off the old dart's thanksgiving, Yu Xiu took the heart of the mandrill cut by the medicine merchant and wrapped in oiled paper, and walked directly into an inn.
This time he has seen a lot in Cangjun, he has to sort it out and think about it, especially about the so-called "Demon Hunting List......
