CHAPTER XXI
Ye Xiaoer said with empty eyes: "Are you saying that my vision is not high?"
Qingyunzi stretched out his index finger and waved it left and right, "No, the old way is saying that your realm is too low." ”
Ye Xiaoer snorted and picked up the three books on the desk, "I'll take these three books back and read them." After speaking, regardless of whether Qingyunzi agreed or not, he walked out with three books.
Ye Xiaoer waved his hand at him as he walked out, and when he walked to the door of the room, Ye Xiaoer turned his head and grimaced at Qingyunzi, and then left as if he was flying.
Qing Yunzi scolded with a smile: "This stinky boy. Then he continued to look at the "Tao Sutra" in his hand.
Ye Xiaoer returned to the wing room and threw himself on the bed with a leap.
He took out the copy of "Kyushu Experience" from the three books and just lay on the bed and read it.
This book "Kyushu Experience" records what Qingyunzi saw and heard when he was young, as well as the major events in the rivers and lakes after becoming famous.
From this book, Ye Xiaoer can roughly imagine what kind of character Qingyunzi was back then.
Ye Xiaoer had to admit that judging from the content recorded in this book, Qingyunzi back then could indeed be called a young and handsome man.
In the book, Qingyunzi calls himself the Sword Prince. Presumably this is his title on the rivers and lakes back then.
Ye Xiaoer had some expectations in his heart, looking forward to what kind of title he would have in the future.
"Kyushu Experience" also recorded some secret stories about the rivers and lakes that Qingyunzi had heard, and Ye Xiaoer watched it with relish.
Some of the history of Kyushu also made Ye Xiaoer gain a lot.
It is the Dakang Dynasty that now rules the land of the Central Plains. It has been more than 800 years since Kang Taizu founded the Great Kang Dynasty, although he is not a world emperor, but there has not been a faint monarch among them.
Today's saint is known as a Ming monarch comparable to the ancient saint emperor. Under his rule, the Kang dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful. Not only in trade, agriculture, mining...... Far surpasses the previous dynasty, and in terms of troops, it has millions of male soldiers, deterring barbarians from all directions.
Under the rule of the imperial dynasty, Kyushu was divided, which is the origin of the name Kyushu. Seven counties in one state, five collars in one county. The village where Ye Xiaoer lived was under the rule of Jingzhou Jiangling.
The Central Plains martial arts are prosperous, and there are many sects. In order to deal with the warriors of the rivers and lakes, the imperial court specially set up a special armed force organization - the Wind Patrol Division.
Most of the people in the Wind Patrol Division are warriors raised by the imperial court and a small number of scattered people in the rivers and lakes, who lead the Yulu and have official ranks. Specializes in dealing with incidents involving warriors. It is also known as the "warrior yamen".
Some people may be a little puzzled, why does the imperial court have a million male soldiers who do not need it, and it is necessary to set up a patrol department to deal with the warriors?
This can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the Kang Dynasty.
In that year, Kang Taizu raised troops to overthrow the mediocre rule of the tyrant of the previous dynasty. However, during a tour, Kang Taizu was assassinated by a dead soldier raised by the previous dynasty, but fortunately he was rescued by a passing Sanren Grandmaster.
In order to repay this grandmaster, Kang Taizu promised to make the grandmaster a king with a different surname. But the Grandmaster refused.
That grandmaster only made an agreement with Kang Taizu: the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes. The affairs of the warrior are left to the warrior. As long as the Kang Dynasty is there, the imperial army will never be allowed to set foot in the rivers and lakes.
Kang Taizu readily agreed, and ordered the craftsman to engrave this agreement on the royal stone tablet, so that future generations will remember it.
This is also why the imperial court set up a patrol department and secretly set up a martial palace, but it did not dare to let the army intervene in the rivers and lakes.
"Experiences in Kyushu" also recorded some rare beasts, which made Ye Xiaoer curious.
Among them, what made Ye Xiaoer most curious was a strange beast named "Fire Dragon".
"There are mountains in Mengzhou, and there are fire clouds. The mountains are thousands of steps high, surrounded by heat waves. There are holes in the mountains, and there are strange beasts in the holes. It is about 100 feet long and resembles a long worm. The body is covered with red phosphorus, and the head is born with two horns. The voice is like a roar, and the mouth is full of fire. It is out, the fire clouds are full, and the heat wave is in the sky. It's called the fire dragon."
Qing Yunzi said in the book that this fire dragon was actually a giant snake of a strange beast, not a fire dragon. At best, it's just a big snake that has cultivated out of the inner dan.
However, Qingyunzi also mentions the strength of the giant snake in the book. In his opinion, the giant snake is extremely strong, and ordinary first-class masters can not go through ten rounds in its hands.
If you want to hunt the giant snake, you must at least be a super-first-class master to do it.
Among the rare beasts, Ye Xiaoer also found several raw materials for the poisons he used when he cultivated the two senses of "smell" and "taste".
After reading "Kyushu Experience", the sky has darkened. Ye Xiaoer lit the fuel lamp and opened the book "Overseas Martial Arts".
"Overseas Martial Arts" records that Qingyunzi just became a grandmaster and crossed the ocean to explore the secrets of overseas martial arts.
Because in the Central Plains martial arts, from time to time, there will be a few examples of being instructed by experts overseas and receiving peerless learning. Every day, the warriors of the Central Plains go overseas in order to get the guidance of masters or to learn the secrets.
Unfortunately, there are very few people who are truly successful.
Qingyunzi lasted a year, and finally on an overseas island called "Penglai", he saw the real overseas martial arts.
And there is only one sect of overseas warriors - the Penglai faction.
The Penglai faction is different from the martial arts sect in the Central Plains, and it is more of an alliance than a sect.
The Penglai faction is an alliance formed by overseas warriors. Among them, there are countless scattered martial artists, and there are also many overseas sects.
There are many masters of the Penglai faction, and there are many grandmasters.
Because it is located overseas, the methods of alchemy and smelting used by overseas warriors are different from those of the Central Plains martial arts.
Qingyunzi has cultivated in the Penglai School for a year and has gained a lot, and has even found many Taoist collections that were lost in the Central Plains. He copied all of these collections and brought them back to the Central Plains.
The Tao Jing is the most precious of these classics.
A few years after Qingyunzi returned to the Central Plains, the Penglai faction decided to recruit disciples in the Central Plains.
Today's Penglai faction also has a certain influence in the Central Plains martial arts. However, because it is located overseas, it is not included in the Central Plains faction. But its strength should not be underestimated.
There are four Penglai sect masters alone, which is really surprising compared to one or two grandmaster masters of other major sects.
After reading "Overseas Martial Arts", Ye Xiaoer longed for the overseas Penglai Island. I secretly thought to myself that if one day I was strong enough, I must go to that Penglai Island to have a look.
The night was already dark, Ye Xiaoer yawned and put the three books on the table, and then put out the fire and fell asleep peacefully.
......
Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoer said goodbye to Qingyunzi and Mingyue. Because these two days are the days when Ye Xun finishes and goes home. Ye Xiaoer wanted to go home and see Ye Xun first.
Qingyunzi seemed to have something to say when Ye Xiaoer said goodbye, but in the end, he only warned Ye Xiaoer that he must return to the mountain in a few days to continue cultivating the five senses.
Bidding farewell to the master and apprentice of Qingyunguan, Ye Xiaoer hummed a song all the way back to the wooden house after a long absence.
Pushing open the gate, the courtyard was covered with a mess of leaves. Ye Xiaoer knew that he couldn't rest today.
Sweeping the leaves in the courtyard to a corner, Ye Xiaoer opened the door. The house is not dirty, but it is dusty.
So, Ye Xiaoer began to work busily cleaning.
......
Busy from morning to afternoon, Ye Xiaoer finally cleaned the house. He let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair in a daze.
Living in Qingyunguan for nearly a month allowed Ye Xiaoer to see the style of the rivers and lakes, which made his yearning for the rivers and lakes deeper and deeper.
At the same time, Ye Xiaoer also gradually understood that the rivers and lakes seemed to be calm and calm, but in fact, they were surging undercurrents, and a little distraction might lead to death.
However, his yearning for the rivers and lakes has not diminished in the slightest.
Perhaps, this is the charm of the rivers and lakes. Although you know that it is a bright poisonous flower, you can't help but reach out and touch it.
The rivers and lakes are to the warriors what fireworks are to the moths.
Although he knew the danger, he still couldn't help but yearn for it, even if he burned himself.
The afternoon gradually passed in Ye Xiaoer's daze. After dinner, Ye Xiaoer went to bed early. For some reason, he always had a feeling that something might happen tonight.
Therefore, Ye Xiaoer couldn't fall asleep and could only lie quietly with his eyes closed.
The night deepened, and the occasional nightingale was heard outside. Suddenly, some slight abnormal sounds came into Ye Xiaoer's ears.
It was the sound of people stepping on stone bricks.
Ye Xiaoer's closed eyes suddenly opened.
