In the past few days, certain rumors have begun to spread between Wuyun Villa and Qinghou Villa. This rural place, which is usually deep in dense forests and old mountains, has become more popular on the official road in just a few days.
Merchants also have some extra informants that should not exist.
In the early morning, when the first ray of light bloomed, on the official road between the three states in the east, there were two more people and two horses. Both of them were men with bright eyes, one was about 20 years old,
A middle-aged man, Feng Jueyu and Wang Tong.
Sitting on Tuxue Shenjun, Feng Jueyu wore a clean and neat white gown that perfectly set off his handsome appearance. His head was neatly tied into a bun, and he had a sword inlaid with chalcedony at his waist. He looked handsome.
Extraordinary and eye-catching.
The Snow-Treading Divine Horse under him made people on the road look at them with admiration and praise. But under the surprised gazes of those seemingly ordinary people, Feng Jueyu still discovered another strange thing.
Human hatred and jealousy, even deep disdain.
Along the road, observing the many wealthy officials, merchants, fishermen, and woodcutter farmers, Feng Jueyu and Wang Tong all sneered silently...
"Wuyun Villa has launched such a big battle. It's enough to do it in the open. We also sent such an informant. Isn't it unnecessary?"
Wang Tong agreed: "I don't know what I know. They are just disciples from different halls. Most of them are not qualified to go up the mountain. And when I learned that my uncle planned to take the fire message, I am afraid that the hall masters were dissatisfied and arranged it deliberately.
These people are planning to give my uncle a kick."
The official road extends in all directions, with extra branches leading to various states, provinces and counties. The boundaries of Wuyun Mountain and Qinghouzhuang were originally popular places for thieves in the green forest. Merchants who passed by had to put down their money before they could pass through, and if they wanted to go
In other prefectures, Wuyun Mountain is a must-pass, so the headquarters of the Green Forest Alliance was placed in this dangerous place.
Over the past few decades, the Green Forest Alliance has gradually grown in power, and what was once a treasure trove of wealth has become the headquarters of the Green Forest Alliance. Although it is said to be righteous, many people know that due to the special nature of the existence of the Green Forest Alliance, even the government does not dare to do so.
official.
As time went by, the local people became a little bit unbearable for this group of green forest thieves who talked about beating and killing all day long, so they moved away one after another. After that, the Green Forest Alliance surrounded the entire mountain as their own territory.
, forming an unprecedented grand scene with mountains and plains filled with thieves.
The people living here are also the descendants of those big thieves. Although they no longer travel to block roads, they are still tough and fierce people. The day before, I heard that the Green Forest Alliance had a new successor to the leader, a direct disciple of the West Green Forest.
Soon a huge wave was set off. People from the local area, nearby villages, surrounding towns, and remote prefectures all rushed to the foot of Wuyun Mountain overnight. Not to mention those warriors with extremely high cultivation levels, the masters in the alliance simply fled for their lives.
The number of disciples in the alliance who serve as his disciples has reached nearly a thousand.
This was still a night's work. If Feng Jueyu had come two days later, there would probably be crowds of people all over the mountains and plains.
"No wonder Zhou Renguang is afraid of the old man. It seems that the strength of the Green Forest Alliance can far affect the tranquility of Tiannan."
Feng Jueyu praised him without hesitation. In his memory, there were many examples of rebels pushing back tyranny in his previous life. How did Liu Bang become the emperor of the Han Dynasty? How did the Sima family stand out in a situation where the three pillars stood against each other... Each of them is a clear example.
In front of us is the so-called allusion of "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
Riding their horses and driving slowly, the majestic Wuyun Mountain was in front of them, and the disguised pedestrians on the road also showed their clues little by little. As Feng Jueyu and the two stepped into the boundary of Wuyun Mountain, people were paying attention wherever they passed, until there were more than a dozen people at the foot of Wuyun Mountain.
It looked like a land, and there was a single tea stall in front of it.
"Hush!"
Wang Tong reined in the reins, his joking expression froze on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm afraid you can no longer hide your cultivation. It seems that Wuyun Mountain's preparations are no worse than ours.
"He looked at the tea stall, and an old man came over with a big bowl of hot tea and a smile on his face.
Is there any good tea? Feng Jueyu wakes up.
Wang Tong nodded: "It's time to go to court. The first hurdle is the imp."
"Oh?" Feng Jueyu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood. The gangsters and gangsters all have their own rules. As the saying goes, the king of hell is good, but the devil is difficult to deal with. The point of trial has arrived.
He reined in the reins and heard Wang Tong say: "The tea is drunk by gods. Drink it and walk for fifteen miles. If you don't fall down at the foot of the mountain, you will be considered a pass. Otherwise, you will not be qualified to take over the Green Forest League. Of course, these brats still have to take care of themselves."
of."
"Mongolian sweat medicine?" Feng Jueyu turned his head and looked at it.
"Behemoth sweat medicine is powerful, but it doesn't hurt the body." Wang Tong smiled and was not worried about Feng Jueyu at all. Knowing his abilities, even Wang Tong admired him and fell to the ground, even with a mere bowl of immortal drunkenness.
The wind is falling and the feathers are falling.
The old man came over and said with a smile: "Dear guests passing by, you must be thirsty. Let's have a cup of tea before we go on our way."
Feng Jueyu smiled slightly and saw people from all directions looking at him. He turned over and dismounted and said to the old man, "Thank you so much, husband." As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp without even thinking about it, and then he raised his head and wiped his mouth generously.
, laughed and said: "Good tea, good tea."
Saying this, Feng Jueyu took out a stack of at least 500,000 taels of silver notes from his arms and patted it in the old man's hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work setting up the tea stall on a hot day. I'll give this little tea money to the brothers."
To pay more for drinks would be disrespectful."
After Feng Jueyu finished speaking, he returned the teacup to the old man. Under the horrified look of the old man, he got on his horse, tightened the reins and loosened them slightly before moving forward slowly.
Along the way, there were at least dozens of people staring at the stack of banknotes. The old man glanced at the pile of banknotes in astonishment. His expression suddenly changed, and he nodded and said loudly: "Thank you for the reward, Master. The road ahead is difficult, Master, take care."
.”
"Wow!"
As soon as he said this, pedestrians on both sides of the road burst into an uproar.
The rules of the Green Forest Alliance are that the kid blocks the road and asks for tea money. The rules of the test are also very simple. Look at how much the tea money is. If you give it twelve or eighty taels, although it is a hundred times more than the cost of tea money, it will definitely arouse everyone's contempt. The following
However, when the amount of tea money reaches a terrifying amount, a thank you from the old man at the tea stall can make the journey of more than ten miles smooth. Although this method is very philistine, it is beneficial to everyone.
The people in the green forest value it. At the same time, it can also be seen whether the new leader and successor regard money as dirt.
The so-called Green Forest refers to people who come from poor backgrounds, and their righteousness is something they only have time to think about when they have a full stomach.
Joining the green forest and becoming a bandit is not just for money...
And the old man not only thanked him loudly, but also reminded him that he seemed to be helping Feng Jueyu, but in fact he was informing the little guys along the way that this man was generous and courageous. He not only drank tea, but also put down a lot of money.
Don't get in the way.
After this experience, as expected, the traffic flow was unobstructed. Feng Jueyu secretly thought that money can make the Motui ghost go away. As he walked, he asked: "I didn't expect that the rules of the Green Forest Alliance are also very interesting. Wang Tong, how much tea money did the old man give me back then?"
"
Although Wang Tong saw Feng Jueyu take out a thick wad, he didn't know how much he gave, so he said: "The old man spends a lot of money. Back then, it was only 20,000 taels."
"Twenty thousand taels?" Feng Jueyu tightened the reins in fright, and Ta Xue stood up with a long hiss: "No way, I bought him with just twenty thousand taels, why should I give him half a million?"
"Five thousand taels?" Wang Tong was also shocked. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you are really generous. More than five thousand taels is enough for these little brats. The old man was a merchant back then, so he gave me more.
Dian, I didn’t expect you...sigh..."
"Oh." Feng Jueyu felt regretful, and thought to himself: Didn't you say you should give me some more? To save you trouble, I gave you more. I didn't expect it to be so much, five hundred thousand taels, Feng Jueyu's.
My heart began to bleed.
In fact, he counted people on a per-person basis. When he saw the short-sighted eyes all over the mountains and plains, he immediately threw away a lot of them...
"I asked, why is Old Cha so happy today? Well, with five hundred thousand taels, he won't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life." Wang Tong looked at Feng Jueyu with joy, and suppressed his blush while laughing.
"It's not you yet." Feng Jueyu glared at Wang Tong, speechless.
But this is fine, throw away a vote of money, and the road for more than ten miles will be smooth. Although there is no such surprise and welcome in the place you pass, at least the hostility is much smaller.
Of course, this still cannot affect the overall situation of the East-West division, but it only makes few disciples in the alliance understand that the alliance leader who is preparing to be the new leader is not at least a generous person.
"How many more levels are there?" Feng Jueyu asked boredly as Shenjun moved forward slowly.
Tongtong Wang said: "There are not many gates in the hall. The front and back gates are difficult to deal with, and the sea of fire and swords are all tests of courage and perseverance. I will see it soon."
As they talked, the two of them had arrived at the foot of Wuyun Mountain. The gate of Wuyun Villa at the foot of the mountain was majestic, and the climbing steps were very clean. Starting from the foot of the mountain, giant men holding ghost-headed swords lined up in two rows.
When I stood on the top of the mountain, I could see at least two to three hundred people.
These people are all villagers in the mountains who cannot practice Xuan Kung, but each of them has an angry look and a lot of scars on their face. At first glance, they are brave warriors who have survived the war.
What caught Feng Jueyu's attention the most was that starting from the stone railing in the middle of the stone staircase, the stone steps on the left and right sides were covered by rows of knives and charcoal. On the left was a hundred-meter-long knife mountain, and on the right
On the side is a road paved with hot coals, which is exactly what Wang Tong called the Mountain of Fire and Dao Mountain.
The blade of the knife is thin, and the cold light is looming; the sea of fire is floating in smoke, and the red-hot charcoal is blowing with scattered sparks in the morning wind. Looking from a distance, the air is burned and a faint green light rises, which shows how hot the charcoal is.
Already.
In the Sea of Fire and Knife Mountain, choose one of the two and enter the village barefoot, only then will you be recognized by all the disciples in the alliance.
Feng Jueyu stared for a moment, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists, and his voice echoed in the clear sky: "Feng Jueyu of Shangguan Mansion asks to see Elder Huangfu Fan."
"boom!"
As Feng Jueyu's words came out, the two groups of tiger men took a step at the same time, as if they had arranged it, and said in unison: "Cross the sea of fire, climb the knife mountain, choose one to enter the village."
