Volume 1: Wind Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 45: Outer Disciples
Lin Yi left the dock.
The Qinshui Pier is under the jurisdiction of the Pai Gang, but Qincheng is the territory of the Tianlong Sect. The division of power between the two is quite clear. However, this gang is still very afraid of the Tianlong Sect. When people from the Tianlong Sect and even the Longcheng Escort Bureau came to the dock, Ding Mao and the others did not dare to ask.
The power of the Tianlong Sect is evident.
This also made Lin Yi become more and more curious about the sect he was about to join.
The street directly opposite the west gate of Qincheng is the widest street in Qincheng. After asking a few passers-by, Lin Yi learned that the Longcheng Escort Agency was located at the east end of this street.
Go east and pass a street intersection. A river flows through the city and flows into Qinshui.
After walking a short distance along the stone bridge over the river, Lin Yi came to Longcheng Escort Bureau.
The Longcheng Escort Agency faces south, and the scene in front of the door is similar to the Taiping Escort Agency that Lin Yi had seen, but even more impressive. In front of the open door, two strong men stood solemnly, making passers-by dare not approach.
"Two eldest brothers, I'm Lin Yi, come to see Mr. Qin, the escort chief." Lin Yi held hands with the two men. After saying this, he took out an iron plate and presented it to him.
The two of them looked at Lin Yi expressionlessly. When they saw the iron plate in his hand, one of them stepped forward to take it and said with surprise: "Little brother, come with me!" He turned and walked inside. .
Lin Yi followed the man through a courtyard and stood in front of a large house, waiting for the man to enter and report. After a while, the man came out to let the visitor in.
Lin Yi thanked him and walked in.
The house is very spacious, the windows are bright and clean, and the square bricks under the feet are spotless, and people's shadows can be reflected in it. Lin Yi walked a few steps, bowed his hands and said, "I'm here, Lin Yi. I'd like to see Mr. Qin, the head escort."
He raised his eyes and looked forward.
A man in white clothes sat in the main seat with a smile. An old man with dark skin and wrinkles stood aside. When the black-skinned old man saw Lin Yi, his expression was slightly startled, but he suddenly seemed to be fine.
The man in white held an iron plate in his hand and said with a chuckle: "I am Qin Buyou. You are the one who asked Miss Yuan to ask for you with generous gifts, right? Qin didn't want to be troublesome, but Miss Yuan asked for help. Her cousin is young and extraordinary, and his father has done a lot of hard work for our Longcheng Escort Bureau... Haha! You are lucky to have such a good cousin! "
The man in white spoke easily, as if he was recounting an interesting thing. But when Lin Yi heard it, he realized that he was standing here now, and it turned out that Yuan Fengming and his wife came here after asking for generous gifts. Although he was touched by the sincerity of Yuan Fengming and his wife, although he was not happy with Qin Buyou's condescending tone, he was not relieved either.
Sincerely, I really can’t live up to the love between Yuan Fengming and his wife!
When Yuan Fengming introduced Qin Buyou to him before, Lin Yi thought of this person. The person who fought with Liu Juhu from the Pai Gang in front of the Taiping Restaurant three years ago was obviously the man in white in front of him. But Qin Buyou had no impression of Lin Yi. Come to think of it, who would remember a country boy with a distinguished status and not forget him for three years?
The black-skinned old man next to him was also familiar. Lin Yi and Er Gouzi had met him once in front of Lan Yue Tower last night. This person must have recognized himself now.
After Lin Yi glanced at Qin Buyou and the old man, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said softly: "I have met the young escort leader. I am just a country boy, mediocre and dull, and I am just loved and promoted by Sister Yuan and Brother Che!"
"Have you ever practiced martial arts?" Qin Buyou asked with a playful look on his lips.
"My martial arts skills are rudimentary, but my strength is only two to three hundred kilograms." Lin Yi lowered his head and replied.
Qin Buyou also listened to Yuan Fengming and Che Hai's pleading, saying that this cousin was very extraordinary. When asked for details, he couldn't give any details. His curiosity aroused and he wanted to see what happened. As for the young man in front of him, his clothes were in tatters and his expression was calm and composed. Coupled with the fact that he had a lot of strength, perhaps this was what made the country people extraordinary. Qin Buyu shook his head disapprovingly and lost interest in Lin Yi.
"Butler Mu, take this forest down and resettle it!"
After Qin Buyou gave the instructions, he stood up gracefully. He ignored Lin Yi and left with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Master!" The black-skinned old man responded respectfully. Then he turned around and said in a cold voice like a bellows: "Boy, come with me!"
Lin Yi grinned and followed the housekeeper to a small courtyard without saying a word. Butler Mu stopped and snorted: "Stay here for now."
Watching Butler Mu walk away, Lin Yi scratched his head. The wooden housekeeper's expression turned quick. Who cares about him, just let him be at ease!
Before entering the hospital, he used his spiritual consciousness to quietly check.
The yard is not big, with five or six rooms side by side, half covered by a few big trees. The whole courtyard looks compact. There are two people in the courtyard and one in the room?
Lin Yi strolled in.
"Who are you? What do you do?" A shout rang out, shaking the small courtyard with endless echoes.
Sitting at the stone table in the courtyard were two young men, both seventeen or eighteen years old. The man who shouted loudly to Lin had a round face and a very stocky look. The other one had a long, thin face and was silent.
The two stared at Lin Yi with doubts on their faces.
"My name is Lin Yi, and I was arranged to live here by Butler Mu." Lin Yi said politely, clasping his fists.
After the two looked at each other, they stood up.
"I am Jiang Fangdi, and this is Dai Yuanhai. Haha! Let's take care of each other when we get together in the future!" the round-faced young man said cheerfully, clasping his fists. The long and thin man on the side remained silent, and along with his companions, he bowed his hands towards Lin Yi.
After the round-faced Jiang Fang finished speaking, he warmly greeted Lin Yi to sit down. Lin Yi smiled and nodded, sat at the stone table with the two of them, and started chatting.
After Jiang Fangdi casually talked about his origins, he also introduced Dai Yuanhai to Lin Yi. This person seemed not to be good at words, and just nodded slightly in agreement.
Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai are both descendants of the Longcheng Escort Bureau, and their fathers are both escorts of the Escort Bureau. The children of escorts who have meritorious service with the Escort Agency can be recommended by the Escort Agency to become outer disciples of the Tianlong Sect. This is also a reward from the escort agency to the escort, or a kind of compensation.
Yuan Hai's father died in a dart shooting a few years ago. Judging from the gloomy look on his face, I wonder if it has something to do with it.
"How about I call you Brother Lin!" Jiang Fangdi laughed. He knew that he was one year older than Lin, and said proudly: "I wonder where brother Lin comes from?"
"Brother Jiang is serious, I am from Siping County." Lin Yi replied with a smile.
This Jiang Fangdi liked to make friends with others, and within a short time, he and Lin Yi were chatting happily. From his mouth, the latter also learned something about the Tianlong Sect.
There are many types of outer disciples. There are those who look after the gates and courtyards, there are those who sweep the floors and grow vegetables, etc. Most of the things that the inner disciples don't bother to do are done by the outer disciples. However, the sect also passed down some low-level martial arts for outer disciples to practice and strengthen their bodies. The outstanding ones among them can be taught more profound martial arts. Of course, these outer disciples can also go to the escort agency to earn money, which is an additional way to make a living.
The inner disciples are all high-ranking elites of the sect. They have devoted themselves to practicing the advanced martial arts of the sect since childhood and are the backbone of the development and existence of the sect.
After listening to the other party's talk, Lin Yi asked: "Does this outer disciple have no qualifications to be an inner disciple?"
Jiang Fangdi curled his lips, shook his head and said: "These inner disciples all have masters. Which master is willing to accept someone who is ten or twenty years old as a disciple?"
He then laughed again and said: "But with the Tianlong Sect's status in the world, even an outer disciple will be quite prestigious when he goes out. Haha! If you join the Tianlong Sect, your future will be bright!"
Seeing Lin Yi's lack of knowledge, Jiang Fangdi became more enthusiastic and talked about the sect and his experiences in the world without hesitation.
There are six sages in the world, one dragon, two rivers, and three mountains. One dragon refers to the Tianlong sect; two waters refer to the Canghai Gang and Pai Gang; and three mountains respectively refer to the three sects built on the mountain, namely the Qishan Shenwei Hall, the Gushan Wuyi Sect, and the Baiyun Taoist Temple in Teng Yunfeng. There are many other Taoist and secular sects, some of which are not strong enough, and some of which are not prominent in the world because they are indifferent to fame and fortune.
The Tianlong Sect has been dominating the world for a long time!
There are many disciples in the sect, and there are countless young talents with high martial arts skills. There are also elders of the sect with unfathomable martial arts skills, and magical elixirs that have been heard about for a long time in the world.
Therefore, the Tianlong Sect is a holy place that people in the world admire.
The disciples of Tianlong Sect are wearing different colors, which represents different status within the sect. The outer disciples wear gray clothes, and the inner disciples and above wear blue, green, red, and purple clothes. Purple is the most noble and represents the head; red represents the elder; those in green represent the hall master or the first-generation disciples of the inner sect; generally, the inner sect disciples are blue, and there are three, six or nine levels of disciples in blue.
Jiang Fangdi talked endlessly and happily, while Lin Yi behaved very humbly and attentively, which made the other party enjoy his boasting. Let him have a good impression of his new companion.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't pay attention to what Jiang Fangdi said about the world's sects, the color of his clothes, etc., but was thinking about other things.
Taking advantage of Jiang Fangdi's pause in speaking, Lin Yi hurriedly interjected: "Brother Jiang is really a well-known blogger! I'm just curious, why does the Tianlong Sect only accept disciples once every ten years?"
"Haha, most people really don't know the whole story. Fortunately, I asked Jiang!" Jiang Fangdi patted his chest and boasted.
"Oh! Brother Jiang, please clear up the confusion!" Lin Yi opened his eyes wide.
"Every ten years, the Tianlong Sect sends its disciples to travel. Although I don't know the details, the sect recruits disciples before the disciples travel. This has become a routine." Jiang Fangdi said with certainty.
"Then where do the traveling disciples go? How long does it take to turn around?" Lin Yi's face was filled with anticipation.
"These are beyond my knowledge. Why are Brother Lin so concerned about this matter?" Jiang Fangdi couldn't answer for a while and asked in confusion.
Lin Yi's heart trembled. These are all secrets of the sect. How could Jiang Fangdi know about them! His enthusiasm for this matter naturally made people suspicious, and he couldn't help but secretly blame himself for this.
His heart was racing, but his expression remained unchanged. Lin Yi shook his head and sighed: "I really envy the talents in those sects! When will you and I be able to be like them and laugh proudly all over the world!"
"Haha! Brother Lin has great ambitions, as a good man should be! But it is not easy to be an outer disciple!" Jiang Fangdi laughed in relief, patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and comforted him.
Jiang Fangdi looks bold, talkative, and easy to make friends with, but he is not a brainless person.
It is important for people to know themselves! Lin Yi knew that he was still new to the world. The master's teachings during his lifetime, Mr. Su's warnings, and Yuan Fengming's instructions kept appearing in his mind, and he should take them as a warning.
While talking, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was dinner time.
"How are you, fellow seniors!" A crisp voice sounded.
A sixteen or seventeen year old woman appeared in front of the three of them.
