Chapter 16 Hengyang Secrets
Since then, Li Chongyuan has practiced in Shengxian Peak on weekdays, jumping down the stone well to the cliff every three or five days, one is to return to the lotus ginseng cave grottoes to watch the figure to understand martial arts, and the other is to pick snow lotus and snow ginseng to eat, to help nourish skills. For those leftover snow lotus and snow ginseng, they can't bear to abandon it, so they chop it with stone chips, mix it with flour and knead it into balls, dry it and store it. The color and smell of these balls are far inferior to the secret elixir of the Tianshan faction, but the effect is even better, you must know that the ingredients of snow lotus and snow ginseng in those elixirs are not even one percent, although the balls made by Li Chongyuan are rough and ugly, but they are full of snow lotus and snow ginseng except for a little flour. How ineffective is it?
The years in the mountains are short, and before you know it, two years of work are fleeting, just when Li Chongyuan is cultivating in the world of Ascension Immortal Peak, Li Jiu braved the snowflakes to go down the mountain, and it was Zilan who walked with him. Zilan and Li Jiu had already been in love for each other, so when Li Jiu went down the mountain, Zilan clamored to follow, and Zi Wuxun had the heart to fulfill them, so he agreed.
Hengzhou, Hengyang City.
The door of a mansion is closed, and the passers-by at the door can't help but be surprised, at this time on weekdays, the door of the house has long been opened, and the guests have come in and out, this is the home of Zhu Shitian, the richest man in Hengyang. Twenty years ago, this place was still a barren grass saline-alkali land, this Zhu Shitian bought and built a house, and built a wide bluestone road, and built shops on both sides of the bluestone road, within two years, there were businessmen from all over the world to come here to rent houses and start trading, here has become the most prosperous area of Hengyang City, Zhu Shitian has also become the largest landlord in Hengyang City, not only that, most of the business in the city is Zhu Shitian's shop, money can pass through the gods, and this person does have some means, the black and white heroes on the ground in Hengzhou, all of them are attached, even the old man of the assassin often comes to the house to visit.
In the hall, there were dozens of men dressed in rivers and lakes, and in the middle was the owner Zhu Shitian, who frowned and paced back and forth with a heavy heart. On the bookcase in front of him was a crane token. This is exactly the unique token sent by the Crane Sect a month ago.
The Immortal Crane Sect was originally called the Immortal Crane Hall, which was originally a small sect with no name in the north, and it was not famous in the rivers and lakes at all. But in the past two years, this Xianhetang is famous, once killed more than a dozen famous masters in a month, so that many sects in the north have heard of the change, in recent years, and coercion and temptation, to attract other sects into the Xianhetang, and later changed the Xianhetang to the Xianhejiao, widely accepted believers, and those who did not follow were often slaughtered in the first place. There is a majestic elephant.
Although the Crane Sect is unparalleled in the north for a while, but Hengzhou is the south of the Yangtze River, the martial arts people in the south of the Yangtze River and the heroes of the northern rivers and lakes have always been distinct, and they do not match each other's boundaries. Except for the fact that Ye Changqing of the Tianshan Mountains sent Ye Changqing to order the heroes to go to the Tianshan Mountains to rebel against each other twenty years ago, and the north and south cooperated once, there was no interaction between them.
A middle-aged scribe with a sven face gently closed the folding fan and said: "Brother Zhu don't have to worry, although this river and lake is sinister, but it can't resist a rational word, the Immortal Crane Sect just sent a token this time, and didn't say what to do, as long as the other party is not rude, let's just come to visit the northern martial arts colleagues, if they are unreasonable, hehehe, we don't have to be afraid of him." β
"Haha, Liu Xiucai said it well," a rough-looking Taoist stood up and said, "This Crane Sect is showing off its power in the north, let's not look for him, why did he go to the south of the Yangtze River to spread the word, I really don't know what kind of martial arts those northern barbarians know, it's nothing more than relying on big shoulders and round waists, rough skin and thick flesh, and I really think that martial arts are invincible in the world?"
"Amitabha, the old man has been coming all the way since he received the letter from Lord Zhu last month, but the road is far away, just arrived yesterday morning, Lord Zhu Shi's letter said that someone from the Crane Sect came to make trouble, but did not mention why, therefore, the old man wants to ask, what is the root knot of this from beginning to end?" Venerable Master Yuanhui, the presiding officer of the Guizhou Demon Suppression Temple, stood up and asked.
When he asked, most of the tour guides in the audience also echoed, "Yes, yes, Brother Zhu said that someone wanted to disadvantage Big Brother, so we came all the way, but I also want to know what the reason is." β
Then Zhu Shitian hesitated for a moment and said to the housekeeper beside him: "Zhu Fu, go and call Xiang Lianfu." β
Not long after, the housekeeper Zhu Fu led a middle-aged man to the lobby, and the middle-aged man first kowtowed to Zhu Shitian, and then made a gesture to the surrounding groups. Zhu Shitian said: "Lian Fu, you tell all the heroes about the robbery of the dart car by the Immortal Crane Sect as it is." "Yes, sir. β
It turned out that in Hengyang City, there is a very famous Futian dart line, Mingli is an independent business, in fact, it is Zhu Shitian secretly in the business, the total dart head of this dart line is Xiang Lianfu, this Xiang Lianfu was originally a disciple of the Qilian faction, after walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he was hired by the king of Luling as the head of the nursing institute because of his skills, and later, the king of Luling was deposed by Wu Zetian, and the upper and lower masks of the Luling palace were sat together, and the Qilian faction was afraid of taking responsibility, and immediately passed the book to the rivers and lakes, and expelled Xiang Lianfu from the door, Jin Wuwei went to the Luling palace to copy the house to Lianfu took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers, and broke out with his bare hands to knock down more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and jumped on the wall to escapeγ Anonymous from now on. Xiang Lianfu is a wanted fugitive, naturally no one dares to take in, in the rivers and lakes are unbearable, a few with beggars, later, came to Hengzhou to worship Zhu Shitian, Zhu Shitian took the school of his martial arts, immediately overjoyed, when even the decision to set up a dart shop, let Xiang Lianfu be the head of the dart, but also spent a lot of money to bribe the government to erase Xiang Lianfu's name from the sea fishing documents. Xiang Lianfu is naturally grateful to Zhu Shitian, and he has done his best to run a dart business in the dart shop, and has a group of good friends who have been friends as a dart master, and he has a reputation in the rivers and lakes back then.
Three months ago, when Xiang Lianfu went to Youzhou, passing through Cangyun County, he saw a large group of villagers kneeling towards the clay statue. The clay sculpture brocade cloth scarf, but it was a beautiful young man, Xiang Lianfu traveled all over the country, and had a lot of knowledge of various customs, but he had never seen this god, so he couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.
There was a young man in beautiful clothes in the crowd who worshipped the clay sculptures, and when he saw Xiang Lianfu riding a horse and watching, he shouted: "You man, since you see the Crane Shenjun, why don't you get off the horse and pay homage?!" Xiang Lianfu is used to walking the rivers and lakes, although he doesn't want to make trouble, but he will not put such a young man with oily hair and powder in his eyes, and said casually: "You worship your god, I go my way, what do you have to do?"
The young man said angrily: "You man is so rude! I kindly asked you to kneel down and worship the Crane Divine Monarch, that is, to pray for blessings and you, how dare you refuse!" Xiang Lianfu said: "We go to the rivers and lakes, eat friends' meals, wear friends' clothes, and exchange our lives, but it is not given by some god or Buddha, what am I worshipping it for?" The young man shouted: "Wu Na man, so rude! Worshipping the Crane Divine Monarch can not only ensure the safety of this life, but also cultivate the next life, if you don't worship, you still have to speak wildly, aren't you afraid of fierce retribution?" The people who walk the darts are fond of lip color, the most taboo bad words, Xiang Lianfu was furious, reached out and took out the horsewhip, and whipped the young man's head, the young man was also dexterous, dripping and turning, the horsewhip brushed by, and then jumped up, ten fingers like a hook to Xiang Lianfu grabbed, and shouted in his mouth: "Bold fanatics, give me down!"
That Xiang Lianfu is carrying the martial arts of the Qilian faction, and he is definitely not a good match, the whip just now is just to scare and scare him, not really to fight, at this moment I saw that the young man was actually a practitioner, and he was no longer polite at the moment, sitting on the horse and raising his leg to kick the young man off the horse, the man was covered in dust, and the dart master behind him laughed, and the young man was not angry, lying on the ground and pointing his finger to Lian Fu and said: "You don't worship the Divine Monarch, but you still have the courage to beat the Divine Monarch to sit down and the messenger, this way you are going to meet a ghost." Xiang Lianfu was furious, and was about to scold a few words, but he didn't expect that the old men and women who knelt down to worship the clay sculptures made noise in unison, picked up the hoes and iron rakes around them, and the dart master and the executioner were not afraid of this indiscriminate beating, but once they started with these villagers, one is that the rivers and lakes are morally unjustifiable, after all, it is the practice of the family to bully the layman; If the three really break the villagers, I am afraid that the old men in the local government will not give up, after all, they are all ignorant ordinary people and they are not bandits, so it is impossible to escape the charge of harassing the local people by beating the villagers so openly. Therefore, the dart masters protected the goods together, and beckoned the executioners and grooms to retreat quickly.
Fortunately, the villagers are simple and simple, and when they saw that the dart masters just blocked and did not fight back, they no longer chased and attacked, but just gathered together from a distance and scolded angrily.
Xiang Lianfu saw that this road could not be taken, so he ordered to take another road, this is the northern plain, the road extends in all directions, it doesn't matter, he is not a reckless person, he understands the truth of making money with harmony, and after all, he is a person who has been fishing in the sea, and everything must be low-key.
Although the new road is smooth, it is a little more deserted, but Xiang Lianfu and the others don't care, after all, they have not encountered thieves after so many years.
As I walked, I saw a white cloth spirit shed not far in front of me, and an old woman kneeling in front of the white stubble coffin wearing linen and filial piety was crying, and burning yellow paper into the brazier while crying.
There are three avoidances in the dart, one to avoid the official guard of honor, the second to avoid red and white funerals, and the third to avoid gang gatherings.
If you can't avoid the joy and mourning when you see the red and white, you have to give the other party happy money, which is called borrowing joy. As for the amount of money and the amount of money, it is given casually, mainly to ask for good luck.
Xiang Lianfu sighed and asked Xiao Er, the executioner, to come over with two copper coins. The darts team walked around the shed.
