Chapter 1071 Sigumen, Golden Yuan Alliance, and the Battle of the East China Sea
Chenjia Village, where Zhou Chen currently lives, is a fishing village belonging to Linhai County under the Daxi Dynasty. Linhai County is the county where Zhou Chen has stayed before and is one of several counties near the East China Sea.
Linhai County has three towns and countless villages. The sizes of the villages vary. Chenjia Village is a relatively small village, but there are also villages smaller than Chenjiazhuang.
Zhou Chen has been to Linhai County several times, always going with people in the village to sell fish to restaurants in the county, and heard a lot of things in the restaurants.
Linhai County is a county with a population of over 10,000. The exact number is unclear, but there are nearly 10,000 people living in this small county. In the ancient dynasty, having so many people in a county was considered to be quite large.
These are the basic conditions of Linhai County, but what Zhou Chen cares about most is not the so-called Daxi Dynasty, but the affairs of the martial arts world.
Sigumen was the first Jianghu sect he heard of.
According to the storyteller in the restaurant, the Sigu Sect has only been established for a few years, but it has already become the most righteous sect in the world. The reason is that the leader of the Sigu Sect is a heroic figure with extraordinary talents.
Li Xiangyi!
If you say who is the fastest sword in the world, nine out of ten people will definitely say it is Li Xiangyi's sword.
Li Xiangyi was less than fifteen years old when he first started out, but as soon as he entered the world, he stirred up the world. At the age of fifteen, he defeated the demon master of the time, the Blood Realm Demon, and became the best master in the world. He aspired to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and ended the martial arts melee.
When Zhou Chen heard the news from the storyteller, he couldn't believe his ears.
You're right, he became the best master in the world at the age of fifteen. Even the protagonist of a cool novel wouldn't dare to write like this. This Li Xiangyi is really so awesome, it's a big deal.
Zhou Chen himself has practiced martial arts and is a top doctor. He knows very well that a fifteen-year-old boy has not even fully grown his body.
To be able to defeat the world-famous older generation masters at this age and aspire to be the best master in the world can no longer be said to be amazing, it is simply the reincarnation of a monster.
He was doubtful, but the storyteller was sure. Although other people who heard it were also surprised, they didn't think it was a problem. This was very problematic.
You must know that in the world of Nirvana in Fire, it took him many years to become the best in the world by relying on the extraordinary talents given by the system. Compared with Li Xiangyi, who was already the best in the world at the age of fifteen, he is not far behind. One and a half stars.
"Outrageous, really outrageous."
Zhou Chen felt unbelievable in his heart, but he also knew that it was groundless. The world is so big that there may not be such a monster.
Most of the storytellers talk about how powerful Li Xiangyi is, but they say very little about Sigumen. They just emphasize repeatedly that Sigumen can become the leader of Zhengdao Jianghu solely because of Li Xiangyi, not because Sigumen is really that strong.
Zhou Chen agrees with this statement. The best master in the world can bring a lot of aura, but after all, Sigu Sect has only been established for a few years, and its foundation is shallow. Even if Li Xiangyi's name can attract many people, it is not as good as those famous sects. The background is definitely still far inferior.
In addition to the best master in the world, the storyteller also said that there is a ranking list of masters in the world called Ten Thousand Records, which should be similar to the existence of Bai Xiaosheng in the world.
If there is a righteous world, there will naturally be demonic sects. One righteousness and one opposite are the eternal topics of the world.
The demonic sect currently opposing Sigu Sect is the famous Golden Yuan League. What’s more, the headquarters of the Golden Yuan League is near the East China Sea, not far from Linhai County, so people near the East China Sea, even ordinary people, Many people have heard of the Golden Yuan League.
Moreover, I heard Mr. Shu say that the momentum of the Golden Yuan Alliance is no worse than that of Sigu Men, or even more so. Its leader is the second best in the world after Li Xiangyi.
After Zhou Chen heard this, he couldn't help but hold his chin and thought of what might happen next.
The Sigu sect claims to be the leader of the righteous path, so he will definitely fight against the demonic sects like the Golden Yuan League, and the second master in the world will definitely fight with the best master in the world. This is how it is written in a picture novel, and it is also true in reality. Very likely to happen.
In fact, he wants to know what the level of martial arts masters in this world is. After all, only by comparison can he judge his current level.
But based on what he knew so far, he also judged that the martial arts world in this world should be higher than the level of low-level martial arts worlds like Nirvana in Fire, but how much higher it was was hard to judge.
The existence of Jianghu martial arts means that this world is much more dangerous than the normal ancient feudal society. The vast majority of Jianghu people have no morals, so Zhou Chen did not practice his martial arts to a certain level. Make up your mind and never mess around.
In modern society, most men have a martial arts dream in their hearts, and Zhou Chen is no exception.
Although he developed his internal strength in both the Nirvana in Fire world and the Menghualu world, especially in the Nirvana in Fire world, he became the best master in the world.
But to be honest, even the world of Langya Bang can only be regarded as a very low-level martial arts world. There are martial arts sects, but there are still too few martial arts masters who truly rise to the top. Most of them rely on external skills and physical fitness. , Internal masters who have truly developed internal strength are still very rare.
However, the film and television world he traveled through this time was very similar to the martial arts novels he had read in the past. It should be able to fulfill his martial arts dream.
Of course, only those who are alive are called martial arts dreams. If they are dead, they are not even worthy of dreams.
As the morning sun rises, Zhou Chen is still running the Pure Yang Technique. He is extremely familiar with the Pure Yang Technique. Practicing when the morning sun rises will have the best effect.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly a voice woke him up.
"Brother Chen, we are going to go fishing. Will you come with us this time?"
Zhou Chen opened his eyes and saw Chen Goudan shouting at him under the rock. He chuckled and said, "Goudan, has your father allowed you to go to sea with him?"
Chen Goudan raised his head proudly: "With my hard work, my dad finally agreed to it. My dad asked me to ask you if you want to go with us."
Zhou Chen glanced at the sky and said: "I won't go with you today, but you go and tell your father that it's best to come back tonight and don't spend the night at sea. It may rain at night or tomorrow."
"ah?"
Chen Goudan looked at the clear sky in astonishment: "Brother Chen, the weather is so nice, how did you know it was going to rain?"
"The clouds, and the fish in the sea, forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you, just tell your father what I say, and he will understand."
"Okay, Brother Chen, I will tell my father, then when will you take me out to sea? I heard from Brother Dalong and others that you are very powerful and you can come back with a full load every time."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm just lucky. You should learn from your father, he is still very capable."
He had never learned to fish before, but he had lived on the beach for more than a year and relied on his own intelligence to learn how to fish. Because of his strong physical fitness, developed internal strength, and excellent observation skills, Therefore, his efficiency in fishing at sea is very high, and those experienced veterans have been slowly surpassed by him.
But for Zhou Chen, fishing is just for living, so he only occasionally goes to sea with the big guys, and more often he stays in the village to practice martial arts.
"Brother Chen, I'm leaving. When I come back, I will give you a big fish."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you."
Zhou Chen smiled and sent Chen Goudan away.
There are about twenty households in Chenjia Village, and there are quite a few children, but they all vary in size.
Chen Goudan’s nickname is Chen Shan, but no one in the village calls him by that name. They all call him Goudan. There are many children with similar names to him in the village, such as Gou Sheng, Da Long, Hu Wa’er, Huniu, Shou monkey……
Just highlight the word "mean". This is also the way people name their names because in ancient society, the death rate of children was too high, especially for poor families. In many cases, a family of three or four would only survive one child, so in order for the children to grow up healthily, , most of them will take some nicknames to make a living.
When I went back after practicing the exercises, it was almost noon, and the old village chief had already prepared a meal.
"Xiaochen is back, come and have dinner."
"Grandpa Chen, didn't I tell you that when I come back to cook, you are not in good health and you should have a good rest."
Zhou Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help the old village chief. The old village chief was old and his health was not in good condition. Over the past year or so, his condition had deteriorated even more.
The old village chief smiled and said: "I rested too much, so I didn't want to rest anymore, so I just made some casually, it doesn't take much effort, eat quickly, and I have to practice after eating."
Having lived with Zhou Chen for more than a year, he has already regarded Zhou Chen as his relative, and he also knows that Zhou Chen practices Kung Fu every day.
He didn't know Zhou Chen's origins, but judging from Zhou Chen's behavior, he felt that Zhou Chen's origins must be extraordinary. Anyway, in all his years of living, he had never seen many young people as peculiar and noble as Zhou Chen.
Although he felt that Zhou Chen had an extraordinary background, he didn't care. He was an old man in his dying years, and a filial young man was sent to him from the sky. It was too late to be happy, so how could he think of anything else.
Since the death of his son and wife, he has lived alone for decades. It was not until Zhou Chen accompanied him for more than a year that he enjoyed the true happiness of a family.
He knew that he wouldn't live long, so he enjoyed the company of others even more.
"Grandpa Chen, I heard that you handed over the position of village chief to Uncle Six?"
"Yes, I am already old and not suitable to be the village chief. Xiao Liuzi is very good and responsible, and the people in the village also respect him, so I just entrusted him to it."
The old villager has a kind face. He has been the village chief for more than 30 years and has deep feelings for Chenjia Village.
In the past, there were more than 20 households in Chenjia Village, and at most there were more than 50 households. But then it became less and less, and now there are only more than 20 households left.
Zhou Chen remained silent. He was full of respect for the old village chief who had devoted his whole life to the village. Not everyone would be trapped in this remote village all their lives, but the old village chief had lived here for more than sixty years. On this piece of land, he taught his children, managed the village, and devoted his whole life to the village.
"That's good. You can have a good rest."
"Maybe it's time to rest."
The old village chief's eyes were blurred, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. His face was full of loneliness.
Zhou Chen knew that he missed his wife and children. For many people, death is a kind of relief. He saw this in the old village chief.
In the evening, Zhou Chen was practicing cross-legged exercises in his house. The wind was howling outside, and at some point, it started to blow.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Third uncle, third uncle."
There was a knock on the door and a call outside. Zhou Chen got out of bed and the old village chief happened to walk out of the back room. He hurried over to help him.
"Grandpa Chen, the sound sounds like there is something urgent."
"It's a bitch, go and see what's going on."
When Zhou Chen heard that he was a bitch, he immediately made a guess in his heart, so he helped the old village chief out.
It was indeed a bitch, but she was not the only one, there were three other women.
"Third uncle, Goudan and his father went to sea during the day and haven't come back yet. Suddenly there was such a strong wind at night. I'm worried that they will be in danger. Third uncle, what do you think we should do?"
Several women had anxious faces. Their men went to sea together and have not returned yet. They were so anxious that they could not even eat.
Fishermen who go fishing at sea may encounter shipwrecks if they are unlucky, and they do not want their men to encounter such a situation.
The old village chief's expression changed slightly: "You haven't come back yet?"
Zhou Chen said at this time: "Grandpa Chen, Goudan came to see me today when he went to sea. I told him that there might be heavy rain tonight or tomorrow, and asked him to tell Uncle Wangtian, if Uncle Wangtian can listen to what I said. , should not spend the night at sea.”
When Goudan's mother heard this, she asked excitedly: "Achen, did you really tell Goudan?"
"I said, let's do it. Grandpa Chen, aunts, you go back first, and I'll go to the beach to check on the situation."
When the old village chief heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Chen quickly stopped him: "No, Grandpa Chen, it's windy outside. I have time to spare and everything will be fine. Just stay at home and wait for news from me. Don't go out. Auntie, help keep an eye on Grandpa Chen."
Goudanfang nodded without hesitation: "Then I'll trouble you, Ah Chen. I'll stay and take care of your third uncle."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything more, didn't put on more clothes, and ran to the seaside against the wind.
"Xiaochen, be careful..."
Zhou Chen quickly arrived at the beach. At this time, there was already a strong sea breeze. Although it had not rained yet, it was estimated that there would be a heavy rain soon.
If Goudan and the others hadn't come back before the heavy rain came, it would be really dangerous.
This time there were several young adults from the village who went to sea. If something happened to them, it would definitely be a big blow to Chenjiacun.
Zhou Chen has lived in Chenjia Village for more than a year and is already familiar with the people in the village. Naturally, he doesn't want anything to happen to Goudan and the others.
He looked towards the sea, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find any ships.
"Uncle Wangtian is quite cautious. He should listen to what I say, right?"
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and Zhou Chen's heart is getting heavier and heavier. Although the strong wind does not mean that something will definitely happen, the probability of an accident is still very high.
Just when he was worried about Goudan and the others, a slight roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he saw a red light coming from a certain direction in the distance.
"Is that movement just now, the movement of detonating a bomb? And that red light, it should be the light of fire. How far has the world developed, even bombs are popping up? No, it is not necessarily a bomb, it is probably something like Sky-shaking thunder, black artillery and other gunpowder detonators.”
He was guessing in his mind, but no matter which one it was, there must have been a lot of chaos in that place where the fire was shining.
He just didn't know where that place was, but he was certain that it wasn't very far away from them, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see it from here.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw movement on the sea in the distance. Although it was dark night, his eyesight was very good and he could see a ship.
So he immediately rushed to the ferry on the coast. There were already many fishing boats parked here. They were all boats used by nearby fishermen to catch fish. They were of different sizes and uneven shapes.
After the ship docked, Zhou Chen saw Goudan and the others and was overjoyed. It seemed that they were lucky and came back in time.
