() We have to walk more than 200 miles to Zhongnan Mountain. There are many opportunities to "act chivalrously and righteously" along the way. Moreover, even if there are no opportunities, we have to create opportunities ourselves.
The journey of more than 200 miles would take him four or five days on foot, so it was better to ride on horseback and act immediately after making the decision.
Farewell to their "old parents" in their hometown, the two elders were reluctant to leave. Gao Ming also felt sorry for him. He had something to say in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. He thought of his family in his previous life and wondered how they lived in that distant time and space.
After picking up my mood, I came to the West Market. The streets and alleys were bustling with game from hunters in the north, side dishes grown by farmers, and entertainers. Walking a few hundred meters along the road, there was a horse dealer, but I heard that basically
They are all bad horses.
Although Gao Ming is young, he is well-dressed. At this time, he is wearing a green lining and an exquisite transparent black shirt. The black shirt is open, with a golden python belt around his waist, and an ancient jade from Guirenfang hanging on the belt.
Wearing a gold wire buckle, her long hair is tied neatly, leaving only two strands of hair behind her ears combed in front of her chest, and a long sword hangs by her side.
A discerning person who is accustomed to traveling around the world knows that Gaoming is worth a lot of money, and ordinary people cannot afford to buy it. Such people are either rich or noble.
When the owner of the horse shop saw it, he immediately came over and said, "Master, do you want to see horses? There are horses for rent and sale here, and there are also carriages. What do you need?"
Gao Ming inspected the store, and under the 'exploration technique', the basic information of these horses was displayed. As expected, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
Gao Ming didn't talk nonsense to him. He pointed directly at a good horse and said in an arrogant tone: "I'm interested in this one. How much does it cost?"
When the owner of the horse shop heard this, he nodded and bowed and said: "Young Master has really good eyesight. That is the best horse in our shop. If you want it, it will cost you 6 taels of silver."
When Gao Ming heard this, he realized that the boss was as loud as a lion. The horse was listed as "a good horse" in the system check. It was estimated to be about five or six taels, but the price still had to be reduced.
"6 taels? Don't lie to me, do you think I don't know the market price? This horse is only 5 taels, I won't give you even one cent more."
"Five taels, okay, let me do your first business." This boss has traveled all over the world and has never seen anyone. Most people can see that Gao Ming is worth a lot of money, but through his experience of being superior to others, he can see that the person in front of him is not a good person.
Although he is young, it is winter here and it is very cold in the north, and he only wears thin silk clothes, much like those people who come and go in the world.
Moreover, this man could tell the quality of horses at a glance and could directly select the best horses. He must be an expert, so he did not dare to bid randomly.
Seeing that the boss knew his business, Gao Ming quickly paid the money and took out the horse, which was fully equipped with a saddle and stirrups. At this moment, the system came to join in the fun again.
"System prompt: Enable mount system"
"Your mount space has been activated. The number of available mounts is currently 13. Note: The mounts are stored in the mount-specific space and do not consume food and grass."
Not bad. When you go out later, you don't have to carry the horse around. If you can retract the space at any time, you can also save fodder.
Gao Ming knew nothing about horseback riding, and wanted to get familiar with it gradually, but after the mount system was turned on, he was naturally instilled with relevant skills. At this time, he was already riding on the horse, letting go of speed and galloping.
Riding a horse in the wild is so refreshing. It feels different from the feeling of a car. When you are riding a horse, you are sitting on a living animal. People and horses need to cooperate when galloping. If you are an experienced horse rider,
, you can even increase the horse's speed by 10% or 20%. At this time, it seems like you are galloping.
On the distant mountain trail, a single horse came from the east. Judging from the rapid sound of horse hooves, it was a good horse, and the rider was obviously an expert. He controlled the horse's speed very regularly. Zhang Heizi was like this.
There are powerful figures within a few miles around, leading dozens of people, who specialize in robbing passing merchants.
But there are rules in the industry. Although Zhang Heizi is a bastard, as long as he hands over half of his money and goods, he will never kill someone easily. Some fellow gangsters pass by, but he turns a blind eye and lets them go, relying on his cautious style.
, he was able to survive until today.
When Zhang Heizi heard that he was riding alone, he became bolder. He ordered the big tree to be brought down. A tree that had been prepared was pushed to the middle of the road by a group of minions. Gao Ming could see clearly and knew that he had hit a shear path.
The thief slowed down his horse and came closer slowly.
Zhang Heizi looked at the young man on the horse carefully. He was calm and calm when he saw this battle. He originally thought that if he rode out alone, he must have wealth, but with his many years of experience,
It seems that the other party is not easy to mess with.
"Hey, I planted this tree and drove this road. I want to pass by this way and leave money to buy the road! Where did it come from? Tell me your name. Don't flood your family." Zhang Heizi shouted according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Make an incision and test it out.
"Hmph! If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow, waiting for you." Gao Ming sneered. He still had a reputation task waiting for him to complete, and these thieves just came to his door. Gao Ming made a "clang" sound and drew his sword in his hand.
, just wait until the fight starts.
Zhang Heizi was sharp-eyed and well-informed, and he recognized it as the Huashan Saber. Because the place was not far from Huashan, the beggars like them had to brighten their masks. He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Little brother, don't worry...
··”
Gao Ming would not give him a chance. Before he could finish his words, Gao Ming rushed into the crowd with his sword alone. Gao Ming, these Huashan disciples, are not lacking in fighting experience. In these years in the mountain, masters and brothers have been constantly feeding each other with moves.
He often practiced against many people, so once he got started, he was like a tiger among sheep, punching to the flesh, and those minions were able to bully ordinary businessmen. When they met this Huashan wizard, they were the cup on the coffee table.
Gao Ming was seen beating and walking away. By the time Zhang Heizi reacted, the ground was already full of people.
Zhang Heizi hurriedly looked over and saw that his subordinate was just lying on the ground moaning in pain, with no fatal injuries. He could not help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the opponent had not killed him.
What he was most afraid of was meeting some stupid young people who were just starting out in the world. Such people were the most careless in their attacks and would kill people at every turn. It seemed that his luck wasn't bad this time.
"Young hero, please be merciful. The villain Zhang Heizi did not recognize the young hero from Huashan here. I have offended many people. Please don't blame me. It is not easy for these young people to raise a family. Please show your respect, hero."
As he spoke, he took out his money bag and placed it in front of Gao Ming.
As soon as Gao Ming took action, he discovered that these people's martial arts were ordinary and they were just ordinary farmers. He didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to teach these thieves a lesson.
"I don't bother to argue with you, but if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't remember me. Listen up, I am Huashan Gao Genming. Next time, I'll put on a brighter cover." After Gao Ming finished speaking, he didn't talk to them either.
There were many ink marks. After everyone was busy dragging the tree trunk away, he Shi Shiran went on the road. He deliberately refused to show Zhang Heizi's filial piety. Taking people's money for such a trivial matter would be too derogatory.
People say, why don't you kill these people? No one who comes out to hang out in the world has an enemy. Those who work in the gangsters pay attention to the word "righteousness". Today, my skills are not as good as others, and I have been let go by Gao Ming. I will never do it again after I go back.
Looking for trouble for the wise, these evil characters are actually more cute than some righteous ones.
Besides, Gao Ming is not afraid of these people seeking revenge. Based on their skills, if he goes back and practices for another twenty years, he will not be able to match him. He is actually just using these people to publicize his reputation for the prestige mission.
After walking for a few more miles, the mountain road slowly opened up and we came to a small town.
The sun is setting in the west and it's getting dark soon. Why not stay in this town for one night and hit the road again the next day.
The town is not big, with probably less than a thousand people. Entering the town from the east end, walking about a hundred meters, you will see an inn called Guanxi Inn. I am very clever, it cannot be opened in the west of Zhenguan. Is it possible?
Do you have to do Lu Zhishen's boxing to suppress Guanxi? But this is the Ming Dynasty, how can he suppress Guanxi? Besides, it seems that the Water Margin novel has not yet come out.
Gao Ming put away his horse when there was no one around the corner. When he came to the store, he found that there was no waiter. He patted the counter. The shopkeeper was dozing off. He woke up leisurely after hearing the sound. He saw a customer coming to the door. He was familiar with it.
He quietly led Gao Ming to sit down at the table.
"Here comes a pound of cooked beef, a stack of side dishes, and a bottle of wine. Hurry up." Gao Mingfei went out for the first time. In the past three years, he had gone out several times. The furthest one was to Luoyang, but they were all on business, for Huashan Mountain.
It was just taking care of the property at the foot of the mountain. But at that time, no tasks were triggered when going down the mountain, and the mount system was not turned on even when riding in the carriage. Gao Ming could only think that the system was causing trouble.
"Okay, a pound of cooked beef, a stack of side dishes, and a bottle of wine," the shopkeeper sang. He was more familiar with the business than the waiter.
At this time, Gao Ming couldn't help but listen attentively, and looked slightly at the main road outside the gate. He heard familiar voices coming closer and closer. They were Zhang Heizi's group. Could it be that they were also from this town?
I saw these few people walking quietly into the town without disturbing the market. One of them staggered into the store. When the shopkeeper saw it, he cursed: "Where are you dead again? Are you with me?"
Heizi is fooling around, and if he doesn't hurry up to greet customers when they come to the store, he'll just be lazy all day long."
It turned out to be the waiter in the store, no wonder. The waiter was slapped on his left arm by Gao Ming, and it still hurts. He was scolded by the shopkeeper and didn't say a word. He just came closer and saw Gao Ming, as if he had seen him.
Ghost, his buttocks were trembling and shivering. When the shopkeeper saw it, he cursed again: "You have the plague, you are clumsy, go to the back to see if the food you want is ready."
Gao Ming secretly lamented that in this world, the poor would remain poor all their lives. The waiter was probably unwilling to accept it, so he followed Zhang Heizi and his group out to rob people. However, he seemed to have a pretty miserable life, and his subordinates actually worked part-time as a waiter.
The waiter went to the back, and Gao Ming's keen hearing noticed that he went to the back door, probably to inform their boss. Gao Ming didn't take it seriously and ate in silence.
When it was time to turn on the lamp, before Gao Ming could lie down, the waiter came back and brought the two of them, and there was a gentle knock on the door.
"who"
"Master Gao, the younger one is Zhang Heizi, whom we met today."
"Well, come in"
The two of them pushed the door open and saw Gao Ming sitting cross-legged on the bed. They quickly bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you so much for not killing me today, Master Gao."
Gao Ming nodded and said: "You know I won't kill you, but you still come to see me, what can you say now?"
"This is the little one, the big boss. The big boss, this is the Huashan Gao Daxia I mentioned to you." Zhang Heizi introduced the person next to him.
That man was frail and not reckless, but according to Zhang Heizi, he was actually their boss, and things in the world were often unexpected.
Gao Ming was not surprised. He only heard the man say: "I have admired the reputation of the Huashan Sword Sect for a long time. When I met the young hero today, it turned out that the reputation is worse than the meeting. I am Zhou Yuanqi, who is loved by friends in the world and is known as the 'white-faced scholar'."
Zhou Yuanqi, the "white-faced scholar", is indeed quite famous in this generation. He is a chivalrous man and likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life. However, we have never heard of Gao Ming. This is his real first time walking in the world. Before going out, Master
I just want to introduce the people in the big sect.
"Nice to meet you" was dry, Gao Ming could only say this. He was from Huashan, so he naturally had nothing nice to say to these prostitutes. Being able to do this was already enough to give him respect.
Seemingly understanding the behavior of upright people like Gao Ming, Zhou Yuanqi and the other two didn't care, and said straight to the point: "Young hero, I'm here to bother you. Firstly, I want to thank you for not killing, and secondly, I have something to ask for."
