Chapter 199 Jianghu Fengyunlu (Two in One)
As Anyang Fucheng entered late at night, the number of pedestrians outside slowly became sparse, and groups of police officers on night patrol also dispersed.
Whoops!
In the howling night wind, a figure was walking through the streets like a ghost.
He's extremely fast.
As he changed his body shape, he made no sound and skillfully avoided the night watch team.
Soon, he walked around the city and came to an alley in the south of the city. He knocked on the door gently and pushed the door open after receiving a response.
This is a small courtyard, with three rooms and one tree.
It was already dark at this time, and there were still flickering lights in the study.
A person was already waiting in the yard. The person took something out of his arms and handed it over, then turned and left.
The person who picked up the things stepped outside the room and knocked gently on the door.
"come in!"
There was a sound in the study.
This person pushed open the door and walked in. In the small room, an elegant young man in scholar's uniform sat upright, flipping through the files on the desk.
In front of the desk in front of him, a burly man shrank and trembled.
"Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping, you can't do this well, what do you want me to do with you?"
The elegant young man spoke calmly, and the big man suddenly trembled with fright and responded tremblingly: "Zhao Ping deserves death for betraying your great trust!"
"Is it difficult to pretend to be a person who has passed away? It's just killing a few people. You can't handle such a small thing. How will I use you in the future? What good can you do?"
The elegant young man said calmly.
"grown ups."
Zhao Ping's eyes were full of despair.
"If I let you off easily, no one else will care about what I do in the future. Please do me one last favor and don't make it difficult for me."
"My lord, please spare my life!"
"Look, someone is already waiting behind you. Don't waste everyone's time. If I take action, you won't be the only one who will die. You'll be homeless all day long. It's best to find a way for your family to survive!"
Zhao Ping trembled and saw the man speaking lightly while looking at the files on the desk. When he saw this, he knew that he had no other choice.
Then he gritted his teeth fiercely, roared and slapped himself with a palm, causing his brain to burst and he died on the spot.
Seeing Zhao Ping lying dead on the ground, the newcomer bowed and saluted.
"grown ups."
"Well, how are you doing here?"
"The matter has been investigated clearly. The people who took over Fenglin Town were a force called the Taiping Gang. They came from Dingbeicheng. They were established for a short time, but they developed very quickly. They established a chief and deputy gang leader, both of whom were in the Zang training stage. Judging from their strength, none of them have a rough background, especially the leader of the Taiping Gang, whose strength is extremely impressive. Only one of the people we sent escaped."
"Oh? A big toad crawled out of the ant's nest! It's interesting. If that's the case, let's see if we can recruit them and make them available to us. It would be a pity to leave such talents outside."
"Just as I was about to tell you this for your lord, the leader of the Taiping Gang seems to have developed a flat-rib Qiujin. Sir, you know that such a person cannot grow in the wilderness."
The elegant young man sighed, "Hey, which family came to Qingzhou to intervene for the ghost pill?"
"Sir, this is what the people below searched out from the Taiping Gang stronghold in Dingbei City overnight. Please take a look, sir."
The man handed over what he had just received.
The elegant young man took a pile of crumpled paper, looked at it, and said in an upbeat tone, "Three Breaks of the Heart Sutra? How could it be them, Rudraksha Bodhi Temple!"
The Rudraksha Bodhi Temple is located in Yunzhou, adjacent to Qingzhou. It is extremely famous, and the Buddhist scriptures in its temple are also widely circulated and known to the world.
"This thing alone is not enough to explain the identity of that person!"
"The people below also found out that this sutra was written silently by the leader of the Taiping Gang. He often wrote silently in the house and ordered it to be destroyed. The reason why this copy was leaked was that they thought his handwriting was good. I want to secretly practice calligraphy for my son."
"Well, this calligraphy is indeed good. It is powerful and majestic. It can be called a calligraphy treasure. Judging from the calligraphy, it is indeed in the same style as those monks. It seems that he is indeed one of them!"
The elegant young man picked up the paper and looked at it. He felt that the thick ink writing on each one was like a king's angry glare or a strong man's fist. He nodded repeatedly, and actually pressed these pieces of paper with the paperweight on the table.
"The Rudraksha Bodhi Temple is in a state of distress these days. It is rumored that the head of the Bodhi Temple has also come to our Qingzhou. I don't know why. At this time, the Taiping Gang suddenly appeared. This makes sense, but it is his Vajra Bodhi Temple is also far away in Yunzhou, and this hand is stretched too far!"
At this point, murderous intent appeared in the young man's eyes.
Seeing this, the visitor quickly continued: "The reason why the last of us came back alive was mainly to spread the word. The news he brought back was that the leader of the Taiping Gang agreed to the previous deal with Fenglin Town, but they had to take 60%. Only give us 40%!”
"What do you think about this?"
When the young man heard this, the murderous look in his eyes temporarily subsided, and instead he asked the visitor for his opinion.
The man pondered for a moment and said: "I feel that the leader of the Bodhi Courtyard is still in Qingzhou at this time, and the property in Fenglin Town is only one of our channels. The loss now is not much, so why not"
"Well, you're right, I have to give this face, so just do what you say!"
The visitor felt dizzy for a while, thinking that I hadn’t said anything yet, so why did he do as I said? Did something happen at that time and he pulled me out to top the tank?
Although he was reluctant in every way, he had no choice but to agree, "Yes!"
"Well, is there anything else?"
"We lost two good players in Fenglin Town and left two positions vacant. I don't know if you have such a candidate."
"You just have to figure it out yourself!"
"yes!"
"Okay, take the body out and dispose of it."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Lu Hu spent his first night in Yuelai Inn practicing.
For him, sleeping is just a matter of relaxing once in a while.
In the early morning of practicing Zang, Lu Hu heard the noise that started to appear on the street outside. He stood up and sat down at the table. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it, and then looked through the various books stacked on the table.
These are the lists of major shops in the city, with a wide variety of products.
After Lu Hu browsed through it briefly, he didn't even think about ordering food in the room. He had just arrived in Anyang City, so he still needed to get familiar with the streets of the city first.
Lu Hu then got up and went out, went to the Songfeng Building he passed yesterday, and ordered a table of food.
Now that his wallet is full, Lu Hu still doesn't pay attention to this kind of consumption. How much can he spend on food?
There were already a lot of people in Songfeng Building early in the morning. The food tasted really good, with plenty of color and aroma, but the portions were a little small.
After finishing the hearty breakfast, he wandered around the city and drew a map of Anyang City in his mind.
The focus is also placed on the vicinity of the Senluo Club Death Arena.
But he is not in a hurry to collect debts. Anyang Fucheng is so prosperous, so he first replenishes some information and supplies he needs in the city before talking.
Lu Hu then went to the bookstore to see if he could buy some books on the history of the Sui Dynasty, so as to supplement his knowledge in related areas.
As expected, Lu Hu was not disappointed. After telling the bookstore clerk about his demands, he successfully obtained two books: "Fengwu Zhi" and "Jianghu Fengyunlu".
It is worth mentioning that these two books alone cost Lu Hu five taels of silver, which shows that books were valuable in ancient times.
With two books in his pocket, Lu Hu returned to the inn and started reading in the room.
The first thing I read was "Feng Wu Zhi".
It introduces the customs and customs of the Sui Dynasty, the local wines, delicacies, beauties, good tea, good horses, and geographical environment.
Lu Hu read it with great interest. After reading it, he learned that the Sui Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen states.
The two capitals are the imperial city of Kyoto, which is the same as the reign name. It also introduces the origin of the word "kaihuang".
"Da Sui Lu" says: The records of the world began in Longhan. Before Long Han, Mo Zhi remembered.
Prolong Kang's calamity and chaos indefinitely. The Tao is hidden and the precious scriptures are not revealed.
With the bright revolution, spiritual literature flourished. All heavens have their own sects, and each has its own code of conduct.
After a calamity, fortune changed again. Then he accumulated five catastrophes and passed away to the emperor. After becoming the emperor, he became the founding emperor.
The accompanying capital was Xuanyang City, the capital of the former dynasty, and the remaining thirteen states were: Yongzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yunzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Haizhou.
Among them, there are three northern states: Qing, Yun, and Yan. The four central states: Yong, Yu, Liang, and Xu. Three southern states: Jing, Yang, and Hai.
After Lu Hu read it, he immediately had a general understanding of the Sui Dynasty in which he lived, and he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"This year is only the ninth year of the founding of the emperor. The previous one was the reign of the emperor, which lasted for twenty-three years. That means that from the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the present, it has only been a mere thirty-two years, and it has already turned out like this. , it’s really amazing!”
At first, Lu Hu was shocked when he saw that it was the Sui Dynasty and the founder of the emperor. He was still wondering if it was the Sui Dynasty in his previous life. After reading it later, he found that the two had the same name, but nothing else matched them.
He didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.
After watching "Feng Wu Zhi", Lu Hu immediately started watching "Jianghu Fengyun Lu".
This book introduces some affairs in the world, mainly some famous sects and famous deeds in the world.
The Jianghu sects of the Sui Dynasty were famous for their three mountains, two temples and five major sects.
The three mountains are: Xuankong Mountain, Qingwei Mountain and Ziyang Mountain.
The two temples are: Lanke Temple and Rudraksha Temple.
The five major sects are: Elephant Sect, Qixuan Sect, Hidden Sword Sect, Giant Whale Sect, and Qionghua Sect.
Lu Hu saw the temple where Master Kong was affiliated, and Rudraksha Temple was one of the two temples.
"Master Kong Luo is indeed of extraordinary origin. He is a member of the so-called famous sect!"
These are only the famous sects in the world. As for some hidden sects, evil sects and official forces, they are not listed above.
As far as Lu Hu knows now, Chunfeng Xiaoyu Tower and the Rebirth Cult fall into this category.
"After all, I just bought it from a bookstore, and the information recorded is limited! No matter how scared I am, I won't just sell it for these coins!"
Lu Hu looked back and saw some major events that had happened in the world.
The recorded time span is very large, and it also clearly states that some things were passed down by word of mouth in the world, and the author cannot guarantee its authenticity.
For example, one of them is Feijian Taoist who robbed the Western Prince's Mansion at night.
In the Sui Dynasty, there was still a clan enfeoffment system, but by no means anyone in the clan could be granted the title of king.
Being able to be crowned king not only represents his extremely powerful martial arts strength, but also his incredible military exploits.
Therefore, only the four kings of the East, West, North, and South at the founding of the country were granted the title.
If he dared to steal the palace at night, he knew that this Taoist Feijian was no ordinary person.
This Feijian Taoist is said to be a defector from Xuankong Mountain.
He stole the magic skill of Xuankong Mountain and developed an extremely powerful swordsmanship. Legend has it that he could kill people from a few hundred steps away, which is how he got his name as the Taoist Flying Sword Master.
Back when the leader of Xuankong Mountain followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer all directions, he had demonstrated the magical skill of flying swords. He had used flying swords to decapitate enemy generals among thousands of armies, and even assassinated some of the most powerful enemies at that time.
He made great contributions to Emperor Gaozu, so Xuankong Mountain can be ranked first among the three mountains.
According to the recollections of those who participated in the war at that time, the master of Xuankong Mountain had practiced this magical skill of flying swords to the point where he could use hundreds of swords within a hundred steps. With a single thought, he could kill people like mowing grass, and the power of one person could rival thousands of troops.
Lu Hu frowned as he looked at it. This was already fantasy, and it was too exaggerated. Could it be that the Ruyi Realm of the Three Martial Arts Realms could be so powerful?
He looked further down and saw that Taoist Feijian had sneaked into the arsenal of the Xiwang Mansion and stole another magical skill. After successfully succeeding, he was discovered by the Xiwang when he was escaping, and he took action decisively.
The two fought for a night, and Feijian was shattered by Xi Wang's fists. Feijian Taoist fled into the mountains, and then Xi Wang sent troops to search the mountains.
Finally, the body of Taoist Feijian was found at the bottom of a cliff, but everything on his body had disappeared.
Later, the King of the West suspected that Taoist Feijian was a person from Xuankong Mountain, killed people and silenced them, and obtained his magical power.
During the war, the King of the West had a disagreement with the head of Xuankong Mountain.
So King Xi led his army to directly surround Xuankong Mountain.
In the end, this incident alarmed Gaozu, who came forward to ask King Xi and the head of Xuankong Mountain to come to Beijing to meet the emperor.
I don’t know what was said. After that, the King of the West withdrew his troops and the matter was settled.
"I now know where the book that the teahouse storyteller was talking about came from. It was not just processed and remade from it. This is just like the person involved, and it is too false!"
Lu Hu just glanced at it briefly and didn't take it seriously.
After reading the two books, Lu Hu already had a general idea of the Sui Dynasty in his mind, and felt that he had learned a lot.
