Rivers and lakes start from Shushan

Chapter 25
According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the Escort cannot refuse the business. Of course, the Escort price is calculated according to the corresponding risk. The price is too low and the risk is too high. The Escort can refuse under the witness of the same people.

Generally, this kind of risk dart is the most profitable business of the escort agency, and it is also the riskiest business; many newly opened escort agencies rely on this kind of business, one order is poor, one order is rich, and one order is on the road of no return.

The Longmen Escort Agency is a powerful business. For a small escort agency, it is considered a risky business, but for the Longmen Escort Agency, it is nothing. This is the kind of money they make.

But if you walk too much this night, you will eventually encounter ghosts!

The Longmen Escort Agency has also received two orders in the past few years. For a giant like the Longmen Escort Agency, it is considered a high-risk business.

One was the dart that escorted Wudang Yu Daiyan and Yu Sanxia six years ago, and the other was the dart that escorted King Xiangcheng of the Sui Kingdom a few months ago.

They are all live darts, and both are paid an astonishing 500 taels of gold. It is not until now that Tong Boda knows that there are other similarities among them.

That is, behind the two of them, there is actually a great sect of Taoism.

Can be certified by the Wudang sect, that is the authentic Taoism, is the big sect in the eyes of ordinary Jianghu people.

The schools of Jianghu are divided into Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and others. Taoism is the strongest, and there are great schools of Taoism in all directions and nine countries.

The Xuanmen and the Xuanmen are the most authentic comrades, and they are connected with each other. This is what Tong Boda attaches the most importance to.

Regarding Yang Ke's previous escort, Tong Boda never asked Wen Lianggong and Du Dajin for any information. He was dedicated to his duties and was a qualified escort.

"The King of Xiangcheng of the Sui Kingdom is now in Western Shu. He has inherited the inheritance of my Xuanmen Zhenren, Wenshi Zhenren, and is in charge of the Shushan lineage. This time I am ordered by my master to contract with Quanzhen Changchun Zhenren, Huashan Junzijian and his wife. Go visit..."

Listening to the names mentioned by Zhang Songxi, he had to go to greet each one of them when they arrived in Hanzhong. In terms of status in the world, they were all equivalent to him, the chief escort of the Longmen Escort Bureau.

But now, these people are going to visit the head of the Shushan School, Sui Xiangcheng King Yang Ke.

Tong Boda couldn't help but began to recall, when he received the dart, did he ever offend him?

After thinking about it, I feel that there is no social interaction. When Yang Ke passed Hanzhong, in order to keep it secret, he never showed up, and Wen Lianggong and other escorts never disembarked...

"There is such an origin?"

Tong Boda searched for the remaining memories in his mind, and later asked: "Master Songxi, do you know where the Shushan sect founded the mountain? Since there is such a connection, I should prepare a generous gift and go to see him."

This is a necessary expenditure in the operation of the escort bureau. To develop business, the escort bureau has to pay homage to every mountain. As time goes by, friendship will naturally develop.

Some sects have no one to introduce them to, and they can't even give them gifts.

The land of Shu is the main business area of ​​the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau, and the big factions such as Emei and Qingcheng are the main partners of the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau.

Now in the land of Western Shu, there is actually another Taoist sect founder, and the Longmen Bodyguard Agency needs to make friends with one more person.

The attitude of this sect also determines how the Longmen Escort will do business in the Xishu region.

If the Shushan Party has any objections to the Longmen Escort Agency, then the Longmen Escort Agency must make up for it as soon as possible. Of course, it is absolutely right to send a generous gift in advance.

As for why Yang Ke was able to become the head of the Shushan School from the king of Xiangcheng in the Sui Dynasty, among them, who is behind this, this is not what the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau should inquire about.

"A hundred miles to the west of Linshan County in Wenzhou is the gate of the Shushan School..."

When Zhang Songxi mentioned this, Tong Boda's expression changed and he asked eagerly: "Is this really Linshan County?"

"Assuming it's correct, could it be that Brother Tong has a semicolon in Linshan?"

Zhang Songxi asked curiously at this time.

"To tell the truth, Master Songxi, I have a son, who is now in charge of the bodyguard bureau in Linshan..."

"Oh……"

Zhang Songxi understands a little bit, the family of the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau has a big business, and it is not surprising that Tong Boda has several concubines. There must be some disputes between the concubine and the concubine. If he can experience it, he will naturally have a share in the family business in the future.

Naturally, Zhang Songxi didn't ask questions, and after a few words, the two changed the topic.

"These two must be Wudang students, young and handsome..."

Changing the topic, Tong Boda changed the topic to the two young people beside Zhang Songxi.

"This is Zhuo Yihang, and this is Daoist Xiao. They are all the pillars of my generation of Wudang Sect. Feng Shimen came out with me to practice and make friends with the martial arts channel. In the future, I will rely on Brother Tong's care. You still don't pay homage to Tong?" senior!"

Zhang Songxi said, smiling, Zhuo Yihang and Taoist Xiao waved.

"Wudang Zhuo Yihang/Wudang Xiao Taoist pays respects to Senior Tong."

Tong Boda didn't care about the identity of the elders, he got up immediately, stepped forward, and held his arms one by one, with strong arms, stopped the two Wudang pillars who were about to bow down.

"They are all good men. If I didn't have anyone of the right age in my family, I would definitely find a match for you."

"It doesn't matter if we are different in age."

Zhuo Yihang was polite and reserved, but Taoist laughed when he heard Tong Boda's words, he said it with a smile.

Zhang Songxi coughed, and Tong Boda, who was originally full of joy, was a little surprised at this time. Then he asked the Taoist with a smile: "Is it okay, widow?"

However, he thought of his legitimate daughter. Although it was said that her daughter was not related to the thief saint, she could not control her parents' orders to find a matchmaker.

"Looks pretty?"

"My Tong Boda's daughter, there is no one who looks bad."

Looking at the creases on Tong Boda's face, Taoist Xiao admired his confidence very much. At this time, he shook his head again and again and said, "Well, Senior Tong, I've been walking in the rivers and lakes for a few years. If it doesn't work, I'll come to you again. How about it?" ?”

What he said was interesting, and Tong Boda said with a look of pity, "That's the only way to go. My other daughters may also grow up by then. Let's talk! Let's talk!"

……

A small courtyard was arranged separately for the three Wudang factions to live in, and a maid was sent, but the three Wudang factions did not accept it.

After the dinner, the three of Wudang returned to their residence. Zhang Songxi was about to rest when they heard a knock on the door.

Open it, and saw that it was Zhuo Yihang and Taoist Xiao, looking at the box in their hands, he understood the reason for their visit.

"Uncle, how should we deal with this?"

Opening the box, there was a bottle of elixir and a letter of silver. Zhang Songxi picked up the elixir, put it down after smelling it, and didn't care about the silver.

"This is the soul-returning pill. It is a specialty of the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau. It has some curative effects on internal and external injuries. It is just that it is not well-known in the Jianghu. It is only used by the heads of the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau to travel in the Jianghu."

Zhang Songxi explained the origin of the elixir, which was of little use to him, and explained the rules to the two nephews with a smile, some gifts can be accepted, but some gifts must be rejected.

It was no problem for them to accept the gift from Longmen Escort. The amount given by Tong Boda was also in line with their status. It was a little thicker, which also showed the origin of Wudang and Longmen Escort.

In martial arts sects, the life of disciples who have not yet left the mountain is actually quite difficult. This is mainly reflected in money. The sect's family has a big business and there are too many places to spend money, such as monthly money, which only the elders have, and the disciples are young. During the festival, red envelopes will be given out.

At this time, the two of them had more personal wealth, and they both had a little more affection for Tong Boda who gave the gift, and the laughing Taoist was even more thinking about whether to get married.

……

A few days passed by in a hurry. In these days, Tong Chengchou practiced martial arts morning and night, and completely integrated the Chunyang Yi Qigong with the Yang family's marksmanship.

"Junior Brother Tong, I don't have anything to teach you now. After you have traveled the rivers and lakes and practiced, your martial arts will have improved again. If you have any doubts, you can go back to the mountain gate, and we will discuss and learn from each other."

At the gate of Shushan Sect, Tong Chengchou and others were preparing to leave, and Yang Ke and others were seeing them off.

"Senior Brother Head, Senior Sister Wushuang, I will come back to the mountain gate when I have free time."

In the past few days, apart from practicing martial arts, he also walked around the mountain with the rest of the sect, not to mention anything else, just this beautiful scenery made him want to live here forever, but, after all, he is a young man, There is still a bit of ambition, but he can still suppress the urge to quit the arena.

"Brother Zhou, I'll ask Brother Zhou to take care of you at the other courtyard in Shushan Mountain, and I'll also ask Brother Zhou to take care of you when the mountain road is dredged."

For Zhou Ran, the county magistrate, Yang Ke used it as a tool without any hesitation. Zhou Ran sent a group of people yesterday, some craftsmen and children signed by Wenzhou, totaling about a hundred people, even him Also brought a few old scholars.

He was more thoughtful than Yang Ke thought. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhou Ran shook his head, thinking, no wonder the Shushan School has not been well-known. If he is such a beautiful scenery, I am afraid that he would not be bothered to walk in the rivers and lakes and get drunk on it. , the immortal is probably enjoying it like this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ran clasped his hands and said, "Brother Yang, why are you and I being so polite? In the future, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou will inevitably come to disturb you. With such a beautiful scenery, I wish to stay here for a long time and never wake up again!"

"I will sweep the couch to welcome you!"

After being a little more polite, looking at the sky, there was no further delay, and they got on the horses separately, and several people disappeared on the mountain road.

After seeing off a few people, and looking behind him, he could hear some bustling voices, and there was a bit more popularity in this fairyland.

He Wushuang walked slowly to the square. The children lined up in several rows were practicing their boxing techniques, and there were some servants around them who were making gestures. Yang Ke said that they can learn this boxing. But he got rid of his slave status and became a registered disciple of the Shushan School.

This also gave them a little more hope. However, at their age, their understanding was lagging behind in all aspects, and with the distracting thoughts in their minds, few could stand out.

But good martial arts can't make up for it.

late at night.

It relieved Wushuang from the difficulties of practicing martial arts. In the past few days, she and Yang Ke traveled around the area around the Shushan Sect. They roughly understood the difficulties faced by the Shushan Sect, but they also knew that these could only be solved by Yang Ke, and she could only be a Helpful wife.

"In a short time, there should be fellow Taoists coming to pay homage to the mountain. Wushuang, you will practice swords with me tomorrow. Although your acupuncture technique is exquisite, it is learned from outsiders after all, so it is difficult to show it in front of your fellow disciples."

"Brother, will there be bad guys coming?"

"It's inevitable."

This is also the first catastrophe that the Shushan faction is facing. It is impossible to escape, and Yang Ke will not escape. He is confident that his current martial arts are enough to protect himself, as long as the big devil does not come to the door.

And in order to prevent the big devil from coming to the door, he also made preparations, that is, he and Wushuang planned to practice a sword technique together - the combination of two swords.

In order to defend against powerful enemies, all major schools of martial arts have special skills for protecting mountains, such as Wudang's "Zhenwu Seven-section Formation", Quanzhen's "Big Dipper Seven-Star Formation", Huashan's "Five Sacred Sword Formation" and so on.

None of these things existed when the sect was established. They are all accumulated by each sect from generation to generation. Only in a certain generation did a true martial arts master come out.
