Chapter 177: Frightened
The sky roared and shook the world,
Like stepping on the silence of the king of Kyushu.
Chang'an is sad, Yueyang is a disaster.
Where are the eternal romances now?
Defeated before and after death.
These two sentences are about a person...
--Elephant King Xia Yuan.
A name that makes Yueyang rivers and lakes frightened.
For some people, to a certain extent, this name is not weaker than the majesty of the god-killing god back then. However, the difference between the two is that the latter used a sword, killing Yue Yang three thousand, and even the Tang Dynasty was terrified. The former, on the other hand, used a pair of fists to bully the market, bullying the weak for more than ten years, making people famous.
It is indeed famous for its color change, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Reminiscing about those days.
In that era when Taifu was in power.
Whether it is the children of the eunuchs in Chang'an City, the princes and grandsons, or the heirs of the wealthy families in Yueyang City, they are ruffians. As long as he is a young man who can be named, he has not been bullied and fisted by this ruffian king.
First in Kyoto City. He relied on the backer behind him. In addition to such dirty things as robbing people's daughters, as long as you want to get bad things, he has never done one less, and that one is called lawlessness. At that time, the people of Kyoto were called the prince of Yuan. From the fact that this is not the king's grandson, but it is better than the king's grandson's nickname, it can be seen how "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people" the image of this ruffian is in the city of Kyoto.
Xia Yuan, who was only in his early twenties, almost smashed the entire Kyoto City into a panic. In the end, the anger of the public was really unsettled, and the dignitaries and nobles who came to the door to plead and complain were able to break the threshold of the Taifu Mansion almost every few days. Fang just forced the high-ranking Taifu, and in anger, kicked him to the Pure Yang Temple of Yueyang City at that time, which is now the Seven Star Courtyard, to "face the wall and think".
Now, it's fun.
The emperors and nobles of Kyoto can finally live a happy life, but they are suffering from those rivers and lakes in Yueyang City. In Kyoto, under the nose of that Taifu, this ruffian can still be so unscrupulous and turn the world upside down. Then put him in Yueyang City, where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and no one is under control, isn't that equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain?
It's inevitable.
Not long after this ruffian arrived in Yueyang, he was in a pure place for the Pure Yang Taoist Temple, and he was made into a miasma.
The Taoist leader in Guanzhong can't control him, and the disciples in Guanzhong are not as powerful as him. In three days, he found someone to compete in the name of martial arts and exchange experiences, but in fact, he took the opportunity to beat someone with a blue nose and swollen face, and then put it under the account as a little brother. In just ten days and half a month, this poor Taoist disciple has become a den of thieves who will be a disaster to the world in the future.
And, in the days to come, it will be time for him to be truly brilliant. He copied the methods played by Kyoto to the entire Yueyang City and beyond. Relying on the two big backers of the Taifu of the Dynasty and the Immortal Pure Yang Palace behind him, and relying on his own talent, he has an invincible cultivation of the younger generation. He led dozens of leaders in the Pure Yang View at that time, and it only took a year to sweep the children of the three thousand and eight hundred wealthy families in Yueyang at that time, and also offended and subdued them all over again.
As long as he is a child of the courtyard who is favored by him, he either succumbs to his obscenity and becomes a ruffian under him. If you don't give in, it's a round of fists until someone else says a word of submission. The barbaric and scoundrel spirit is more than 100 times more arrogant than the current group of Ronglin resentful troops in the eastern suburbs of Yueyang.
And the ruffians and scoundrels under him have also expanded from dozens of people at the beginning to more than thousands of people at the end. As long as there are wealthy families and mansions in Yueyang City that can be named, there are people who have him! He is a general in the army, and he is known as having thousands of soldiers under him. He is known as a thousand ruffians under his fists. If that child is bullied, as long as he shouts "I'm with Master Yuan", it can scare others into a fart and beg for mercy.
It was the tragedy of an era.
More precisely, it is the collective sorrow of that generation of Jianghu children.
In that era when Yueyang City was ruled by ruffians. The officials didn't dare to speak, and the elders in the door didn't dare to make a move. People of the same generation, as long as they encounter this ruffian, everyone has to bow their heads and bow their waists, and respectfully shout to Yuan Ye before they can be released. If he didn't shout, and if he accidentally provoked this ruffian, he could pick up the guy, call out to the people, and run directly to the courtyard of another family, and beat the person to death half-dead. Even if the elders interfere with it, he can rely on the strength of the crowd and beat the elders of the others with a blue nose and swollen face, which is a common thing.
However, this is far from his most lawless means!
In that era of ruffianism, the most unbearable thing happened. It is the younger generation of the rivers and lakes, no matter how young or young men and women, no matter how deep your background, as long as you mix in Yueyang City, you will have to pay the monthly service every month! If there are those who do not pay or do not pay enough, then the end is unforgettable. Those who do not pay will be stripped naked and hung on the street for several days. Those who have little friendship will directly throw people into the Yingshui River to soak off a layer of skin, which is the iron law at that time. Under the deterrence of that ruffian's obscenity, no one dared to say a word!
According to reliable rumors in the rivers and lakes of the year. This ruffian and his subordinates extort money and property from the disciples of the major wealthy families every month. In one month, it can be worth the sum of the top ten wealthy families in Yueyang City for one year.
It can be seen from this ruffian who has lost his conscience how many "hurtful" things he did back then. and how many hard-earned money of the children of the rivers and lakes have been extorted. It was just created that it belonged to the tragedy of that era.
It's just that such tragedy and sorrow.
For some big people in Yueyang City today, it is really not a shame. Because, the memories left by the ruffian on them are truly unforgettable! They are still unforgettable, and they have become a joke after dinner.
For example, Fang Xin, the current head of Tiefanmen, who was stripped naked, dragged to Xiguan Road, and fatly beaten for a day and a night. For example, those who were thrown into the Yingshui River for half a month were the current heads and elders of more than a dozen courtyards. Another example is that he was forced to go back to his own treasury to steal gold and pay the monthly salary. Wait, wait...
The list goes on...
That's all unbearable grief!
Even though 20 years have passed, the face of the years has long changed. Those young men back then had already turned gray, or they started a family, or they held a world. However, the mark that this ruffian king once left on this city is still so clear. Not even the slightest trace of being worn away by the years...
How deep these traces are, you can see clearly from the grand occasion when Xia Yuan entered the city today.
Twenty years have passed, and the fear is still there.
However, everyone knows that the fear they show today is no longer the same as it was back then, and it belongs to the fear of youth and frivolity. Otherwise, these Jianghu people who have already become famous and hold one side of their own party will not go to Minle Street to greet Xia Yuan at all. Then he won't be even more quiet, to lose that face, and call out that Yuanye.
Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.
It's a feeling.
This feeling of fear, you could say it's a familiar feeling. It can also be said to be a memory that belongs to everyone. Because, what it represents is Xia Yuan's generation, who were once in their prime and were young.
Time can't be had.
Suddenly, the people in the mirror have been born.
It's called memories...
Therefore, for the people who went to Minle Street to greet each other today. Regardless of whether they have paid monthly salaries or not, whether they have been beaten or not. Before, now, and in the future, it doesn't matter whether Xia Yuan is friend or foe. Today, they will all come. Because they all came for one purpose. I just want to look in this mirror and see my former young and frivolous self...
Look for memories of those years.
And Xia Yuan is a milestone that records that period of history.
It's bad news, but it's also feelings.
......
Of course.
If there is a drama to watch, it will be the best.
When the ruffian king returned, he said that he was going to put on a big show as soon as he entered the city gate. Whoever listens to this can't pay attention?
Besides, he came with the will of the great strategist in the north on his way to the south. All the way to the south, breaking through the north, entering Kyoto, and acting out are all thrilling dramas. At this time, he arrived in Yueyang, even if he said that he was going to collapse the entire Yueyang City, it is estimated that everyone would not be surprised!
That
As soon as the order was called, the yellow dust rolled and rushed, and the twenty-mile-long street was immediately crowded.
From the buildings in all directions to the streets, following the ass of the ruffian king who was going to do great things, all the way east...
Mighty.
"Don't be nervous..."
"Calm down. ”
“......”
Cheng
Dongmen Street.
The wind was fierce and the sand was surging.
Bleak and cold, cowering.
These are two very different paintings, put together into one scene.
The wind is a human being, blowing all the way from the East City Gate to the end of the East Gate Street. Sha is also a person, a large group of people who follow the butt of the hurricane, and watch the lively Jianghu people.
And the bleak one is today's Seven Star Courtyard.
The defilable wormwood was piled up in a pile, and it was lit in front of the gate of the courtyard, burning thinly, emitting wisps of white smoke. Two big red cannons, hanging high on both sides of the plaque on the door, swaying in the wind. Yellow Ming rune paper, big red wedding paper, mixed with fine grapefruit peel, spread all over the ground.
This is a battle that only happens during the big festival.
"He... He called all those ruffians back then?"
"Estimated... I guess it's lively..."
“......”
But at this moment, in front of the gate of the Seven Star Courtyard, there is no so-called lively atmosphere.
Yes, just ten Taoists standing side by side and a green shirt. Other than that, there were no other seven-star disciples. As for the gray-robed little Mai Yi who has been frequently going back and forth between Qixing and Wentian recently, she did not appear here at this time, and she did not ride a blue bird to pick up the little watermelon this morning. And the reason for this is not known for the time being.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, it's a big deal to fight with him!"
"I can't fight..."
“......”
Smoke wafts, wormwood burns.
The atmosphere was a little bleak and a little tense.
Looking at the majestic figure from a distance, leading a surging crowd of people. Dean Tianshu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and muttered softly.
"Later, we will sacrifice Qixing to suppress him for a while, and the boss will take the plate..."
"Why don't you capture the plate and I will help you sacrifice the seven stars?"
Looking at the dog's tail grass that was beating playfully, Li Qingfeng whispered disdainfully.
"This is where you are the highest, who are you going to if you don't go?" said Dean Tianshu urgently.
"Well, I... I... Can... Go back first... This has... And it is to be. With the majestic figure gradually approaching, Xiahou, who had been beaten blue and purple in the past few days, had begun to tremble incessantly. The grass that was originally in his mouth had fallen to the ground at some point, but he didn't know it at all.
That one is afraid, it's every hair that fills him...
"You can go out, but you can't go back!" Chen Suixin gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
"Yes, you can go out. Dean Yaoguang echoed in a low voice.
"You get out..."
“......”
"Yes!"
"You can come out. ”
The dog's tail is upturned, ruffian, and full of fun.
Word from the street!
