Chapter 1: Song Shidao
Song Shidao Zhuo Li on the top of the river, on both sides of the Jimu River.
At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and the stars in the sky echo with the lights of the four ships, as if to show the future of the world.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in power, due to the great achievements, many expeditions outside the territory, and the poverty and luxury, the palace was built in a wide range of palaces, patrolled everywhere, and levied harsh taxes, which made the people miserable, and even thieves rose everywhere.
This Song Shidao is Li Shidao who came with the help of the supernatural power of "Enlightenment in Dreams".
This "dream preaching" is to let people experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death of other people's lives.
Coincidentally, his new identity is also called "Shidao", and the difference is only in the surname difference.
Speaking of his surname, it is a famous surname at this time!
On the advanced rivers and lakes, the most remarkable statement is the door valve of the four surnames, but if it is about eating, it must belong to the door valve of the Song family where he is located.
Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics is that the clans developed from generations of noble families, some are called Gaomen or Gate Valves, which are clearly distinguished from the Shu people of ordinary people.
The so-called "there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no clan in the lower grade".
Economically and politically, the nobles enjoyed great privileges. It was not until Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, ruled the world and won the imperial examination, and the situation of the gate valve monopolizing everything was slightly broken.
But the gate valve is still unresolved, and the four surnames of the gate valve that are famous in the rivers and lakes refer to the four major clans surnamed Yuwen, surnamed Li, surnamed Dugu and surnamed Song, which have huge influence in politics, economy and martial arts.
Among the four surnames, only the Song surname belongs to the southern wang clan, insisting on the authentic Han blood. The other three surnames, because they are located in the north, have a deep Huhua and have some Hu blood. However, because these three surnames have been integrated into the culture of Middle-earth, they are not outsiders.
Among them, the Song clan is the most powerful clan in the south, and the lord of the "Heavenly Knife" Song Que is known as "the world's first knife master".
At that time, Yang Jian ruled the world and established the Great Sui, because he was afraid of the power of the Song people, he adopted a policy of appeasement towards them, and named Song Que as "Zhennan Gong", and Song Que also knew that the general trend of the Southern Dynasty had gone, so he deceived and bowed down to protect the family.
Among the four surnames, the other three surnames are mixed with Hu blood, and this fruit is the only one left, and the southern clans that maintain their prestige have always adhered to the tradition and strictly forbade the clansmen to intermarry with people other than the Han people, so they are regarded as Han orthodoxy in the rivers and lakes.
During the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, with Song Quan's majestic strategy, he still did not dare to act rashly, and he also kept his light and kept his secrets, and devoted himself to cultivating and hiding to avoid major disasters.
It was not until Yang Guang ascended the throne that internal strife and external worries, the government was corrupted, and rebellions broke out, and the Song valve became active again.
Song Zhi, the younger brother of Song Que, "Earth Sword", is one of the few sword masters in the world, and is also famous for his wisdom, knowing that the Sui Dynasty is still vigorous, if he raises troops too early, he will become the first target to be attacked, so he persuaded his brother to postpone the anti-Sui and engage in all kinds of profiteering transactions.
One of the most profitable is to transport illicit salt from coastal counties into the interior through the Yangtze River to seek huge profits.
Song Shidao's four boats are the smugglers who trafficked sea salt.
At this time, the government was corrupted, and the Song family, with its human power in the south, easily opened all joints and openly trafficked sea salt.
If an official dares to investigate, he will deal with it by all kinds of intimidation methods, even secretly assassinating him, so as to achieve his goal.
Even if the rebels from all over the country saw the banner of the Song family, they did not dare to offend, lest they build such a strong enemy. Therefore, in recent years, the power of the Song family has secretly increased, and even supported some related rebels with financial resources to weaken the power of the Great Sui.
Song Que has four sons and two daughters, Song Shidao is the youngest son, and he is even the favorite of his father, and other affairs are handled by his eldest brother, and he is responsible for operating the goods. The other two women, one Yuhua and one Yuzhi, both have the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and the men of the younger generation in Lingnan all admire them.
Song Yuhua married Xie Wenlong, the son of Xie Hui, a Xichuan tycoon based in Chengdu, three years ago.
Xie Hui, nicknamed "Martial Arts Judge", is a top master on the same level as Song Que and Song Zhi, and built his own "Duzun Fort", which is one of the emerging forces that have sprung up outside the four surnamed gate lords.
The marriage of the two families of Song Xie was full of the smell of political transactions, representing the alliance of the two major forces, which made Yang Guang even more afraid to act rashly against them.
This time, these four ships of smuggled salt were about to be transported to the four states, and they were distributed by Duzunbao to the local salt merchants.
Song Shidao has awakened his memory since he was born, and after knowing his father's name and the background of the times, he immediately knew that he was living in the era with "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" as the background, so he began to prepare for it a long time.
The reason why he was able to understand the situation so quickly was due to his actions in the Overworld. Before crossing over to the main world, his favorite thing in his spare time was to read martial arts novels, followed by comics and puppet shows, and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also one of them.
When he arrived in the main world, when he was idle and bored, he would tell the maids about the deeds in those martial arts, and these memories did not fade with the passage of time, but became clearer and clearer.
In the original work, Song Shidao is suave and handsome, but his qualifications for practicing martial arts are unbearable, so Song Que has never instructed him in martial arts, so that his martial arts are not only inferior to Shuanglong, but even inferior to many young juniors.
After the inner soul was replaced by Li Shidao, Song Shidao's roots remained unchanged, but his talent for martial arts was outstanding, drawing inferences from one another, and because he was a young son, Song Que loved him very much, not only carefully guided his martial arts, but also carefully taught the Heavenly Sword Technique, and Song Shidao also concentrated on practicing martial arts.
In the past ten years, Li Shidao's skills have become more and more refined, and his strength can also be compared to the level of Song Que's sixth or seventh layer, which makes him very pleased. However, it is a pity that Li Shidao has never liked to use knives, although the knife technique is exquisite, but it is not commonly used, and he learned some sword theory from Song Zhi, so he integrated the sword intent into the sword, don't take a wrong path.
Today, Li Shidao's martial arts attainments are already the second in Lingnan, second only to his father Song Que. However, he doesn't like to swagger and rarely makes a move, so even Song Zhi and Song Lu don't know how far his martial arts have come.
On this trip, Li Shidao and Song Lu escorted the ship together, he knew that Yu Wenhua had already gone to Yangzhou, and as expected, he should have met the three Shuanglong who escaped from Yu Wenhua and the pursuit with Fu Junwu recently.
There is no doubt that the kung fu that Song Que passed on to Li Shidao is the best in the world, but compared to the Four Great Wonder Books, it will still be a little inferior. Therefore, Li Shidao officially walked out of Lingnan this time, and his first goal was to get this Taoist treasure book in his hands.
