[Comprehensive martial arts] Master let me cultivate myself

The world thought that the arrest of the young owner of Wuzheng Villa, and the fall of Wuzheng Villa into the precarious situation, was already the biggest event of the year.

What can barely be compared with it is the fact that the truth about the death of the leader of the Beggar Gang was revealed at the succession ceremony of the leader of the Beggar Gang half a year ago.

However, they soon received another piece of news that was enough to shock the martial arts in the Central Plains.

One month after Yuan Suiyun's death, at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Jin in Wanfu Wanshou Garden, this girl who just pulled out her own son and daughter could form a team that would scare people away, let alone herself. The capable old lady Jin suddenly announced that she would support the little girl who was directly descended from Emperor Ye to supervise the Jiangnan martial arts.

Throwing Cup Villa has already designated her as the heir, and the envoys from Xuejiazhuang and Yongcui Villa to Wanfu Wanshou Garden also expressed their obedience to her.

These are several forces in Jiangnan that can be called a tripod in terms of financial and military strength. Now they have reached an unanimous attitude, which means that there is indeed a nominal master of martial arts in the loose state of Jiangnan.

But it doesn't stop there.

The envoy in black who lived on Changchun Island overseas in the East China Sea returned to the rivers and lakes and conveyed his will in the future. This person, who should be regarded as the heir to the forces that will be hostile to the future, turned out to be the heir of Changchun Island that she is optimistic about now.

In order to fight in the ring in the future, Yedi, who was supposed to be quiet, also came back from a long journey outside the pass.

At that time, I thought he was overseas, but I didn't know how many years later when I received the news, who knew that he was still on land, and even brought Uncle Tie Zhongtang and Senior Barefoot Han with him.

Joining forces from the Yedi sect and the Daqi sect is equivalent to taking the eastern half of the Central Plains martial arts and completely realizing the unity of opinion.

In fact, if you have to say something, there is still one side that has an extra right to speak, and that is the beggar gang in Jinan Prefecture, which is now the center of the gang's government affairs.

But at the Junshan Conference, the Beggar Gang still owed her favors, and the current Beggar Gang is no longer as brilliant as it used to be, so they could only express their tacit attitude towards this in the end, and this acquiescence was enough for Shi Nian.

As for the west—

Shenshui Palace expressed its approval of this decision in the name of Yin Ji, the jellyfish, who received guidance in the future.

The Guanzhong area is famous for its bodyguard bureaus and martial arts families, but because of the incident at Wuzheng Villa, she was naturally a little scared.

Among the sword sects of the Five Sacred Mountains and the Three Mountains, Huashan was the first to express their friendship and support for the pursuit of the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, and the following several schools did not express any objection to this.

Those who, including Mrs. Jin, thought that this would cause a short-term turmoil in the Central Plains martial arts, did not expect that it didn't seem to take much energy to spread the news and get recognition, and everything went smoothly. Like a dream.

But martial arts is not a place that cares so much about gender.

In the previous generation, there could be Yedi who would say in the future, and in the previous generation, there could be Tie Zhongtang and Yin Ji the jellyfish. In today's world, it doesn't matter if there is such a unique martial arts leader.

"When Zao'er adopted you back then, I never imagined that you would go so fast to this day." Ye Di came all the way from the north to Jiangnan, and when he arrived at Throwing Cup Villa, it was nearly a month before the old lady Jin's birthday banquet. , By the time he arrived, the dust had already settled.

When he knocked on the door, he was dressed in the same clothes as the barefoot man senior, and he couldn't tell that he was the Yedi who enjoyed his travels to the fullest.

Fortunately, the Throwing Cup Villa is full of guests, so they let him in.

When the old man, who looked like a wild man outside the pass, announced his name as Yedi, he shocked everyone immediately.

But who in the Jianghu would dare to pretend to be his name, the current martial arts leader is still his disciple, and he will never fail to recognize him.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the leader of the martial arts have some ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth?" Yedi took the tea handed over by Shi Nian, and looked her up and down. Not seeing her for two or three years is more than a result of his martial arts improvement. I don't dare to admit it, this momentum is getting more and more amazing.

"Master was joking. The birth of a martial arts leader is enough to make the government worry about being banned by martial arts. It doesn't matter if a gang leader like the Beggar Gang takes over and sacrifices to the world. If it is a martial arts leader..."

Shi Nian smiled, Ye Di could hear what she meant.

It's no wonder the government didn't take her under the knife.

It might as well be like today, which seems to be just a false name recognized by various forces.

But the north-south trade route that she has been trying to build has an opportunity this time. Those girls who left their homes because of Yuan Suiyun's evil intentions, and the poor people who can't reach the position of the beggar gang in the south. She can find a place to settle down in the southern commercial firm jointly built by her, Mrs. Jin and Second Master Zuo.

These things can't be done without this false name, but with a beginning, how could it be just an ordinary false name in the end.

This flower lover who chased people to Changchun Island back then and lived there for a few years, felt thoughtful when she heard her words, "You're right, Zaoer and I were hands-off shopkeepers before. Remember to use the things thrown at you, although the world is afraid to say anything because of your vicious reputation, but I know the thoughts of those men best."

Ye Di raised his brows and acted, "Isn't it just a little girl who was lucky enough to defeat Xue Yiren and Shi Guanyin with a little brute force? She also has a good background and has the support of martial arts seniors. I don't know yet." Whether to marry first and give the inheritance to her husband, or if the backer dies first, I will not end well."

"Cough..." Tie Zhongtang and the barefoot man looked at each other, Yedi's temperament hadn't changed over the years.

"Let me tell you, don't listen to their sour nonsense, just sit firmly in this position." Ye Di pointed to the table in front of him, "I heard that Jiangnan still needs you to sit in charge, what's the matter? Those who are far away are disobedient, anyway, as a backer, I have been tired of playing overseas in recent years, so I can just come to the door to beat people."

Standing by the window, Zhu Zao shook his head and sighed. His unreliable father definitely included him in the beating service.

"By the way, where's Xiao Chu?" Ye Di finally remembered that there was still someone missing here.

"Brother Chu went to the northwest to deal with Shi Guanyin's follow-up issues. There should be many masters of the Central Plains martial arts who were looted by her in the Shilin Cave Mansion. If they can be sent back, it can be regarded as doing things for the martial arts after taking over as the leader of the martial arts. It's a good thing." Shi Nian replied, "Master Chu doesn't have to worry about the safety of Senior Brother Chu, A Rong, who used to be a disciple of Shi Guanyin, went with him, and there are also Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan in the northwest."

"Counting it, this is also the reunion of "swallows and butterflies with wings, and the fragrance of flowers fills the world" after □□ years, isn't it a wonderful thing for brothers to reunite?"

"I'm not worried about his safety." Ye Di waved his hand, "I just think that if Xiao Chu doesn't come to support my junior sister right now, I have to remember him. For your birthday next year, ask him to give you a big gift. Use that reason."

Those present had been tossing Yedi's patriarchal habit for many years, and they were not surprised by it, so they could only light a candle silently for Chu Liuxiang, who was far outside the pass at this time.

Chu Liuxiang had already entered the desert with Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua. Under the judgment of the desert climate by the stone camel and Qu Wurong's guidance, he arrived at the Stone Forest Cave, but suddenly felt a chill down his back.

He stopped suddenly.

"Dangerous?" Ji Bingyan asked.

"No," Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly, "It's just a bad premonition, but it shouldn't be here."

In the stone forest cave in front of them, there are traces of being burned by fire. It was the fire that Liu Wumei set off before leaving that day. This fire burned most of the cave, which is why Chu Liuxiang and others came in here. There was not much obstruction at the time.

Qu Wurong originally thought that half of the people died in the fire that spread to half of the Shilin Cave Mansion, but the other half should have a chance to escape.

However, what they saw when they walked in was that these former disciples in the cave had spontaneously formed a defense line to protect the poppy field. Even though Shi Guanyin was no longer here, they were seeing Qu Wu. When Rong and others broke in, they raised their swords.

"The disciples that Shi Guanyin relies heavily on are different from ordinary disciples." Qu Wurong sighed, "I should have thought of this earlier, this place is already an invisible prison."

Even if the door is opened now, they are unwilling to try to go out to find a way to detoxify, but rather live around the sea of ​​poppies that has not been affected by the sea of ​​​​fire, and imprison themselves there.

Qu Wurong couldn't say anything to criticize them, and she didn't have this position, but there was no doubt that they had to eradicate this sea of ​​flowers when they came here.

"Are you also bound by an invisible prison?" Far away in the south of the Yangtze River, Shi Nian also asked this question to Zhongyuan Yidianhong.

The Assassin organization disappeared with Xue Xiaoren's death. Without the hand that controlled everything, the thirteen swords surrounding the hand did not need to follow the hand's pull to point to the predetermined direction.

Xue Xiaoren's death, under the heavy news that Yuan Suiyun's conspiracy was exposed, seemed to only cause a small ripple on the water, so that when the guests left the Throwing Cup Villa, because most of them hadn't Seeing the sword fight at that moment, I thought it was also a play jointly performed by Shi Nian and Xue Jiazhuang.

And the whereabouts of a swordsman who has always been crazy, obviously not so many people care.

He is like the stone that stirred up ripples, just slowly sinking into the bottom of the water and disappearing. For him, this may be the best result. Everything he did in the Assassin Organization will no longer be dragged down. Xuejiazhuang.

But this pebble was stuck in the mud at the bottom of the water and left traces, at least, it is impossible not to leave a little wave in the heart of Zhongyuan Dianhong.

"I can only kill people." He said a little confused.

"I didn't tell you not to kill people." Shi Nian shrugged, "If you still accept orders normally, I have something for you to do. There are still many pirates making trouble on the trade routes between the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. , if they succeed, the loss of both goods and people will not be small, if you can take the order to eradicate a few bandit leaders for me as a warning, the reward will not be less than you."

Zhong Yuan gave her a complicated look with a red face, but he didn't say anything, and went straight out of the window.

"Will he do what you say?" Dong Sanniang, who helped Shinian sort out the materials, asked.

The knife pierced on Yuan Suiyun's body, and the scene of Yuan Suiyun's death in the midst of betrayal, completely dissipated the cloud that had shrouded Dong Sanniang's head. , but also more and more transformed into a demeanor capable of being independent.

"He is a very casual person." Shi Nian did not answer this question directly, "It is difficult for such a person to make him say something like surrender, but his casualness allows him to be a useful tool occasionally. knife."

"Don't mention him, Sanniang, you will accompany me to the Fengwei gang later, I need to borrow a group of people from them, otherwise Zhang Sankong will not be able to start the fleet if he has a boat and is short of manpower. Put people on your roll."

"But—" Don't you just steal someone from the Fengwei Gang?

Shi Nian patted her on the shoulder and interrupted her but, how can this be called stealing people, this is called making reasonable use of the false name of the leader of the martial arts.

Dong Sanniang couldn't say anything to refute. She felt that Wu Weiyang might be speechless too, because the excuse he made back then was to give the martial arts people at the bottom of the rivers and lakes a stable working environment. For the sake of wages, Fengwei gang twelve A group of idle people from Lianlian Dock boarded the newly built ship.

Dong Dong made a name for himself in the south of the Yangtze River, but was quickly overwhelmed by the prosperous and lively scene here.

If the mirror hadn't reminded her that three months had passed, Shi Nian would have almost forgotten that it was time for her to go to the next world.

"Actually, there are Wujue magic skills to integrate the moves, and there is also the inner strength of the wedding dress magic skill. The two complement each other, and the essence is not so expensive. It would be even better if you can give flying knives a step further. As the leader of the martial arts, of course you have to be more It’s impeccable.”

She fiddled with the picture on the mirror, and accidentally flipped to the world of the silhouette of swords and arrows that she went to for the first time. According to the mirror, it should have taken more than a year to re-enter, but now the cooling time seemed to be shortened for no reason. For a while, maybe there are only three months left, which is exactly one year since the last trip.

She couldn't go here yet, so she turned back and saw a throwing knife. Just looking at the silhouette, she felt that it should never be slow or miss.

"Just go here!" Shi Nian made a decisive decision.

She was too lazy to expect anything from the way the mirror landed, so when she opened her eyes and saw the familiar yellow sand in the sky, she didn't feel any surprise.

The sun was scorching, and the wind and sand filled the air.

For anyone who is walking alone in the desert at this time, the first thing to worry about is the issue of survival, but she has the experience of operating in the desert, and the mirror's so-called safe zone, so she is obviously far away from it. Inhabited places are not too far away.

She listened quietly to the movement in the wind for a while, and carefully watched the traces on the sand, and then put the hood of the cloak on her head, blocking the sun that could not be covered by the smoke and dust above her head. Head, walking firmly in one direction.

In less than half an hour, an oasis had appeared as far as she could see.

If she is familiar with this place, she will know that this place is the largest oasis distribution center outside Bailongdui for herdsmen outside the pass and business travelers inside the pass, and it is also the only place with a source of water within a hundred miles. It is called Luowazi.

Continuing to go northwest, you will find "Lop Nur", also known as Lop Nur, where birds do not cross.

Even if she lowered her sense of existence, when she walked into this oasis of camel bells, she still seemed out of place with ordinary people.

Her cloak is not so much wind-proof and sand-proof as it is more like an ornament. This is a material that people who walk in the desert would never choose. In the above look.

Although her steps were not fast, she did not leave any footprints on the ground covered with a layer of fine sand brought by the business travelers. She was clearly a master of martial arts.

A female traveler walking alone in the desert, even a female traveler who has never led a horse or a camel, is much more terrifying than a traveler who looks like a bandit. So when she was sitting on the noodle stall, although some people kept looking at her, they never dared to step forward to see what kind of face was hidden under her hood.

Shi Nian ordered a bowl of noodles, as if she was completely unaware of the curious eyes cast on her by her surroundings, she looked at the tea shed across the narrow street at this time, where passing merchants could replenish their drinking water. It seemed that the caravan was short of some silver taels, so a young man in the team asked a storyteller to solicit customers to make up for the price.

"Is this also possible?" Shi Nian pointed to the opposite side, and asked when the boss came over with the face.

The boss has been here for many years, and it has been a long time since he heard such a mellow and clear voice, but all he can see is the lower half of Shi Nian's face, like a pampered young lady.

A pair of eyes hidden under the cloak made one wonder how she saw the road and the situation on the other side, as if casting a threatening glance at him in the shadows, he hastily looked away.

However, he saw the homeless man at the next table staring at the cloaked girl with great interest, and quickly shook the rag twice to signal him to look away.

"Of course you can. The well-informed caravans who have traveled all over the world, or the caravans that have gone deep into the Loulan ruins in the dangerous area, can bring more stories to the opposite side, especially customers who replenish water, which can be regarded as money." The goods are cleared."

I saw the young man standing on the small mound trying to tell a story in a voice that would not choke himself into the wind and sand and was loud enough for people to hear.

Even though he started to say that the story started with a sentence of 20 years ago and 20 years ago, and the ending of the story was exactly 20 years ago, he was still very interested in listening to it, because it sounds like a bloody love story at first glance. The storytelling is about what happened in the rivers and lakes here.

She is new here, so naturally she can't miss any information.

While listening to the story, she slowed down the speed of eating, and when the plate in front of her was cleared, it happened to be the end of the young man's speech.

"The happy king's lair has been completely burned by the fire. Among the ruined bricks and tiles, there are dead bones that have been burned to the bone. Among them, two dead bones are entangled in one place. Do you know this? Who are these two?"

After a while, he saw that someone had given money to the boss again, and the boss signaled him to finish it, so he continued, "One of the withered bones has three purple gold rings on the middle finger of the left hand. It was the Happy King who used to use it as a hidden weapon." How could the purple gold be burned in the fire? This is the object to prove his identity. And the other dead bone..."

He suddenly let out an exclamation and rolled down from the mound.

A stone that came from nowhere hit the dead wood branch behind him. If this person was still standing there just now, his head would have already exploded.

What made him roll down from the mound turned out to be a pearl of unknown origin that hit the crook of his leg.

The young man looked around in shock, but he couldn't find who the person who released the stones and pearls was. He picked up the pearls from the ground and handed them to the caravan leader. He doesn't want to claim it, but it's not something that a person of his status can keep at hand.

Amidst the surrounding noise, the homeless man sitting at the next table took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and slapped it in front of the boss, "Drink two jugs of wine."

"Wine is in the desert..." Before the boss finished speaking, he saw the homeless man wave his hand, signaling him not to say more.

After the two water bags filled with wine were handed to him, he put the water bags in his arms and walked towards the desert beyond the oasis——

The direction is Rob Nur.
