Chapter 10 Traces of Taowuzhou
After returning to the resident of Tuo Shi Tang, after a good night's rest, Lorraine Hill asked the helmsman about Qingluyuan early the next morning.
"Qinglu was originally a famous school in the south, specializing in medicine and herbal medicine. The school majored in Hundred Flowers. It was based in the mountains and forests between Muqingzhou and Weipingzhou. The famous doctors and medicinal herbs in Nanfangzhou County were mostly from This faction."
"How does Qingluyuan rank among the various factions in the twenty-two southern continents?" Roland Hill suddenly wanted to understand the overall situation.
"It's hard to define." The helmsman of Tuo Shi Tang shook his head slightly, then continued.
"The most unfathomable things in the twenty-two continents in the south are naturally the two direct lineages handed down by Bai Fenghonghu, namely 'Bailu Qixuanwu' and 'Mingyue Fangxin Palace', both of which are door-to-door."
"Most of the shrine maidens in Zhou County in the south are from 'Bailu Qixuanwu', but this is usually an official matter, and the common people can't get in touch with these big men, so they are insensitive and few people care."
"The Mingyue Palace is on an overseas island, isolated from the world, and few people know about it. We only heard that every three years, the 'Bailu Qixuanwu' and the 'Mingyue Palace' will hold two major events. Compare and compare."
"However, these two factions are relatively low-key, and their popularity among the people is far less than ours. Apart from the two high-profile door-to-doors, we are the big factions that span several continents, such as 'Tuo Shi Tang', 'Qingluyuan' and 'Wu Gou' The door''Jinzhufang' these."
"Further down, there are some factions within each state. For example, there is a faction of 'Huoqiu Sect' in Qingxiao Continent. There are many fire warlocks in the sect, hundreds of experts above the fourth rank, and there are seven or eight in the fifth rank. There is also a hidden sixth-order existence."
"In the rivers and lakes, the masters above the fifth rank are generally specially divided, because when the fifth rank is reached, it will be a huge improvement. Walking on the mountains and waves, you can go anywhere, and you can walk in the world at will without fear of monsters and beasts. flat."
"So some people call the fifth-order realm 'Treading the Waves' in order to show this difference."
"When you go up to the sixth level, you will basically gain a certain ability to fly in the air. At this time, even if you lose your opponent, you can escape with your life. Most people are afraid of such a master's revenge, even officials will give considerable respect, and some people will Call the sixth-order realm 'riding the fog'."
"Then go up." Roland Hill blinked, and suddenly felt that such a name was quite interesting.
"Further up, the seventh order is also called the coral order in the West, and it is called 'piercing the sky', which means piercing the sky and splitting clouds, like electricity and dew."
"The eighth-order crystal rank is called 'Denglin', which means climbing to the top and overlooking the world. It is the Big Dipper of Mount Tai on one side."
"The ninth level, the end of the ladder, the feathering and ascending to the immortal, this is the living immortal, and mortals should not talk about it, they are all called 'flying immortals'." (These names do not need to be remembered deliberately 0 0/)
"When our Tuo Shi Tang was established, it was only a small school, and the method in the school was gradually accumulated and improved over the past dynasties before it is as exquisite as it is today. Achieve the state of 'boarding', and improve the internal training method again, and the situation today is formed."
"Isn't there a senior who has achieved the status of 'Flying Immortal'?" The girl was a little surprised. In her opinion, Tuo Shitang was also quite a large faction, and it is unlikely that there have been none for hundreds of years.
"No, although it has been passed down for hundreds of years, the real rise is still the one who led the way a hundred years ago, and he has not been successful for a long time."
"In fact, this is the case with most factions in the world. Only the factions of those who have been out of the 'Flying Immortal' can become the door-to-door. By the same token, except for the door-to-door, there are basically no 'flying immortals' in other factions. Existence, both now and in the past."
"Is that so." Roland Hill thought slowly.
It seems that the West Continent is similar, and the famous factions there are mostly created by heroes or saints in the past, and have a long history. It seems that in this era when information has not yet been networked, the inheritance of knowledge is still extremely valuable. Without the accumulation of previous experience, it is too difficult to explore step by step on your own.
No wonder Wufeng has such a high reputation on the Eastern Continent. The five of them can be said to have started from nothing and created a complete set of advanced systems that have been left behind for thousands of years.
After learning about this, Roland Hill remembered another little thing he heard yesterday.
"What kind of existence is the needle-inducing agent in Qingluyuan?"
"Qingluyuan will call the practitioners of the fifth rank in the sect as 'inducing needles', 'burning worms' and 'picking dogwood'. Each of the three focuses on fighting, healing, and one of herbal medicine."
"In the past heyday, the 'Three Messengers' of Qingluyuan, dressed in green shirts, walked around the continents and counties, and had a great reputation."
"Even now, after the world has changed, the messengers of Qingluyuan are still not to be underestimated. Most of them can easily defeat a good player of the same rank. If they are good at using swords and needles, it is very easy to defeat three with one."
"There is a big difference between the same level."
Roland Hill sighed, there is a huge gap between ordinary transcendents and disciples of the great sect, disciples of the great sect and true disciples, and even if they are at the same level, they cannot simply draw equal signs.
After learning about this, Roland Hill continued to stay in Qingzhou Continent for a few days until news came.
This afternoon, Roland Hill was sitting in a warehouse courtyard of the Tuo Shi Hall with a veil, checking the various moldy herbs and old objects accumulated in the box.
As a group that helps to consign goods, escort darts, and inquire about news, after a long time, there will be some unfinished commissions, such as when the delivered goods are not picked up, the consignor dies halfway, and there are accidents left in Tuo. Lion Hall's goods, etc.
If things have been left for a long time, they will naturally have to be cleaned up, but even members of Tuo Shi Tang are not sure about them, so they have been kept here and gradually accumulated.
"Let's see, this should be wind-stopping grass. Well, the medicinal effect seems to be pretty good." Roland Hill touched the dried herbs in his hands, feeling the magic power and extraordinary qualities contained in it, the small box opened, Pick out the parts that haven't been moldy, put them in a small clean box on the other side, and then write down the names and quantities of the things, and stick the paper sheets on the box.
"That's it, maybe dozens of silver rings can be sold?" She stood up and looked at the large and small boxes piled up in this spacious warehouse, as if she was looking for treasure, which was quite interesting.
"Miss Jialan, is Miss Jialan here?" A voice called from the front hall.
"I'm here, wait a minute."
Roland Hill raised his foot, walked out of the pile of debris, and then lightly tapped his dress to shake off a little dust, and then walked to the front hall.
Turning around the scarlet corridor under the eaves, before arriving, Roland Hill heard the voice of the front hall.
"Hoo, I'm dying of thirst." The sound of gurgling water.
"How did you go this time?"
"It's so messy, I almost got blocked on my way."
"What's the matter, aren't you going back and forth by boat? Are you afraid of being blocked?"
"That's not right. The people from the Panlong Society pulled iron ropes on the river. Passing ships have to check the cargo and passengers one by one. As a practitioner of the angry lion method, it's too easy to reveal the contents."
"How did it go after that?"
"Of course he hid at the bottom of the boat, anyway, this is also the ability to eat."
"Haha, I think so too, but Panlong would do this, doesn't the local government care?"
"No matter what, they just borrowed the government's name and said that there have been a lot of bandits and bandits recently. For the sake of local peace, it is necessary to strictly inspect the passing ships, and then let the people from the Panlonghui pull up the iron rope on the river."
"Is this, are the local officials so bold? In name, it's said in the past, but isn't this taboo in the officialdom?"
"Who knows, maybe there is a fight in the government now. We Tuo Shitang will sponsor Fu Xing Academy every year, just to let the students take care of the school after they are admitted to fame. Now it is heard in the government that it is also a dark tide. Flow, change."
Before listening to the conversation of these people in the front hall, Roland Hill had already entered the room.
"Hello, Miss Jialan."
Everyone quieted down, while Yang Xuemo closed his eyes and opened his eyes, "Xiao Jiu, tell Miss Jialan the information you have obtained."
"Yes, Brother Yang." Then the member of Tuo Shi Tang, who was in his early 20s, talked about his experience of inquiring about news.
"After I received the task that day, I left for Fuyun Lake that night, and then asked the local hall master who was famous and surnamed some time ago."
"The owner of the branch is not there now. It is said that he was transferred to a Zhou County in the south to recover from his injuries, and then he asked the local branch's gentleman. They said that they have heard of the more famous ones in the past few years. Except for those who are young or too old, there are only two who fit Miss Jialan's description."
"Which two are they?"
"One is the hall master who was injured before, and the other is the general in the main hall." It's the same as the records found before, the girl thought to herself.
"The distance from the main hall is relatively far, and the news will be slower to return. I am afraid that Miss Jialan will have to wait a few more days." Yang Xuemo on the side comforted a little.
"Well, I know." Roland Hill nodded, then looked at the returning member.
"Which continent is the wounded branch master you mentioned earlier, can you take me to see it?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics, but it's either Zheluo Continent or Taowu Continent. These two continents are relatively peaceful and not far from Fuyun Lake."
"Then go." Roland Hill said that these are not problems.
"It seems that Miss Jialan has made up her mind. In this way, I will arrange six good people to accompany you, so that the road will be safer. What do you think?"
"Thank you." The girl nodded.
"Okay, then leave tomorrow, Miss Jialan has a good rest tonight." Yang Xuemo got up and began to find the roster of the faction to see who was stationed today.
After sleeping for one night, the three awning boats left the dock early the next morning and moved quickly along the river, like a herring shuttle, agile and fast.
Sitting in the arched canopy in the middle of the boat, Roland Hill looked at the rapidly flowing river outside, and felt that Tuo Shi Tang was indeed a gang that lived on the river, and his skills in rowing and sailing were indeed worthwhile.
Along the water to the east, the group walked out of the Qingxiao Gang in half a day, passed through a Zhou County again on the second day, rested for a while, and came to Taowuzhou on the third day.
There are slices of peach trees on the hillsides on both sides of the strait, but unfortunately it is not spring, and there is no scene of peach blossoms falling across the river.
After landing on the shore, the group directly asked the local Tuo Shitang branch helm.
"Who are you?" When they heard that they were here to inquire about the track, the local members of the Tuo Shi Tang were also alert.
"We are members of the Qingxiaozhou branch." A member took out a certificate and said a unique code.
After some inspection and confirmation, the sub-rudder member went to invite the local principal.
A big man with a beard walked into the courtyard with a jug carrying a jug. He smelled of alcohol and seemed to be a little drunk.
"Brother Ni, these seniors who want to see the injured senior, look." I just returned to Lorraine
The member of Hill and the others ran over to ask as if they saw a savior.
"Who? Which senior, why don't I know?"
"It's the senior who came to seek medical treatment last month."
"Idiot, if I say I don't know, I don't know." He roared angrily on his original face, and threw the young fellow shrimp to the ground.
"Heh, where are you from? You keep saying that you're from the same door. I think it's suspicious." The drunkard sat on the chair in the hall with one foot on the table next to him, and soon his eyes were fascinated again. Up, it seems that the stamina of the wine is up again.
"This eldest brother, we really have something important to do to find the senior with the surname."
...
The man snored, as if he didn't hear him.
As a last resort, a member of Tuo Shi Tang who was traveling with Roland Hill repeated it again.
"This eldest brother from the same family, we have something important to find for the senior with the surname."
"Noisy..." He turned his body sideways.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Roland Hill shook his head and asked the companion in front to step back first, then sat in the hall and waited slowly until the other party woke up.
In this way, the sun turned from noon to sunset, and then from sunset to night, and when the rudder of the Tuo Lion Hall was about to close its doors, this one woke up leisurely.
He looked at the few people still in the hall, then moved his body and stood up.
"It's still here, hehe, you don't know anything about people, but it's ridiculous that you want to find someone."
"Then, eldest brother, how can you trust us?" Roland Hill stood up, and the pair of bright eyes on the veil looked directly at the sober man.
"How, how, that's all, I didn't believe you. Since you have been waiting here for a day with sincerity, if I don't give an explanation, it would be wrong for me."
"Come, bring my weapon, and have a meeting with this eldest lady." He shouted loudly, and then the door outside the courtyard quickly opened, and the members of the local helmsman took the heavy seven-ring machete with excitement and respect. .
This knife, with a thick blade and seven golden rings on its back, held it in the big man's hand. With a simple wave, it made a heavy humming sound, and then the golden rings collided and trembled crisply.
"Is this going to be a fight?" a member next to Roland Hill asked in confusion.
"It seems that this classmate of the rudder is really difficult to get along with."
"He seems to have the strength of the fifth-order 'Breaking Waves', and he has a strong momentum. I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary people to beat him." Especially the heavy golden knife, which looked terrifying.
"Let's go together, or we won't be able to beat this guy."
"No, I'll do it." Roland Hill shook his head slightly and stepped out of the crowd.
"Miss Jialan, how can I let you..." The members on the side wanted to say something, but what happened in front of him made him shut his mouth.
Roland Hill walked into the courtyard, spread her hands, closed her eyes slightly, a golden red scale appeared on her forehead, and a silent air wave blew up her hair and dress, and then opened her eyes. , Dandan's golden-red brilliance overflowed, and then as soon as she raised her hand, a long sword not far away flew from the shelf and landed in her hand.
"Okay, okay! It seems that my old Ni also misunderstood. This young lady is indeed a very ordinary person. Look at the knife!" The python crossed the river, treading the waves.
