Chapter 1503 Above the rivers and lakes is the martial arts world
"Gu Zhanshen, let's put it this way. Back then, the Jin Yiwei had to manage many affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so the Jiuxing Yamen was specially set up to manage the Jiuxing sect."
"I see."
Three hundred years ago, the Nine Elements Sect was at its peak, but the Ming Dynasty's court could not tolerate the Nine Elements Sect being so powerful and not caring about anything.
Therefore, Jin Yiwei was asked to deal with the matter.
In order to deal with the Jiuxing Sect, Jin Yiwei set up a Jiuxing Yamen.
After the Jiuxing Yamen was established, the Jiuxing sect was almost managed.
"What about your Sixi Teahouse?"
"Sixi Tea House is another organization set up by Jinyiwei. It is mainly responsible for collecting intelligence. However, we say that we are a sect, but in fact we are not."
It turns out there are still so many doorways.
Gu Yuan didn't know about this before.
Then Gu Yuan asked again.
"So, Long Jianshou is the descendant of Jiuxing Yamen?"
"I'm not sure, but it's possible."
"Why are you not sure about this? Didn't you say that Jiuxing Yamen and you are together?"
"That's a long story."
"ah?
It’s a long story?”
"Yes, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei gradually disappeared, but the various institutions established by the Jinyiwei still exist and continue to this day. However, these branches are not aware of it."
"What are they?"
"One pillar of the imperial palace, two impermanent imperial prisons, three talent escort offices, four happy teahouses, five military governors, six beautiful incense towers, seven gentlemen's academy, eight business houses, and nine rows of yamen."
"this……"
To be honest, this is the first time Gu Yuan has heard of these. Except for Sixi Tea House and Jiuxing Yamen, he has really never heard of anything else.
This is simply outrageous.
Because there are so many organizations that Gu Yuan doesn't know about at all.
Gu Yuan asked: "Do these institutions still exist?"
"Of course, there has always been a legacy."
"So, I almost pissed off what Jin Yiwei left behind."
"No, no, that's not the case, because the other eight institutions don't know each other's existence. Even if they know, they don't know they were once one."
"Oh, except for your Sixi Teahouse, no one knows how they inherited it, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"What do they do?"
"Yizhu Guofu is responsible for protecting the Ming Dynasty. There are only two people at most at the same time, one master and one apprentice. They must step forward to assist the court in times of crisis!"
"Shuang Wuchang Prison is mainly responsible for cleaning up the prisoners, and the leader Hei Wuchang is very powerful."
"The Sancai Escort Bureau is responsible for escorting valuable goods and talents."
"We are the Sixi Tea House, mainly responsible for intelligence."
"The five-party guard envoys are responsible for monitoring military affairs in various places and preventing military leaders from betraying the imperial court."
"Liumeixianglou is responsible for the management of brothels in various places. The people in charge are six peerless beauties."
"The Seven Gentlemen Academy is to control scholars everywhere."
"Batong Trading Company is for doing business and also managing some royal business."
"The Jiuxing Yamen is Long Jianshou and the others, and it is specially used to manage the Jiuxing sect."
in this way.
Gu Yuan finally understood.
The Jin Yiwei we usually understand is known from various novels and movies.
In fact, Jinyiwei is far from that simple.
Who would have thought that Jinyiwei secretly set up nine organizations to manage these things.
After Fan Laixi finished telling all this, Gu Yuan almost understood a little bit.
"These are things you mentioned in ancient times. Is it true that they have been passed down to modern times?"
"Although it is different from the ancient times, it is almost the same. After all, the inherited things will be retained, but now they are fighting each other, which is a little different from before."
"So, if I kill Long Jianshou, Jiuxing Yamen will come to me for revenge, right?"
Fan Laixi said.
"I'm not sure, but what I'm sure of is that this matter is not that simple."
"Isn't it that simple?
How many people are there in Jiuxing Yamen now?"
"I don't know, but since Long Jianshou is dead, they will definitely send someone. After all, the Nine Elements Sect cannot be left alone."
"But now there are no Jiuxing sects, and some are just remnants."
"Gu Zhanshen, you are about to revive the Valley of Flames. To be honest, almost all the Nine Elements sects will follow suit. After all, Long Jianshou is dead, and others will not be content with being lonely."
This is quite true.
They are all dead, but there really isn't that much nonsense.
Other hidden families will definitely take this opportunity to revive their own sects.
Let alone others, even Xun Zuiyu must have wanted to revive the Yinsha Sect.
Gu Yuan said: "It seems that we can only take one step at the moment and see what it will look like. To be honest, I don't know."
Fan Laixi nodded.
"Yes, it's like this, but the world is probably like this. The difficulty is..."
"What's difficult?"
"Martial arts."
"What's the meaning?
Martial arts?"
"That's right, Mr. Gu, maybe you only know what Jianghu means. In other words, most people are involved in Jianghu."
"Yes, aren't the so-called underground forces just a group of gangsters?"
"But there are higher beings in this world than Jianghu."
"Is this what you call martial arts?"
"That's right, the martial arts world is a gathering of warriors. Its level is much higher than that of Jianghu. Only by understanding Jianghu clearly can you be qualified to have a place in the martial arts world..."
This was so good that Gu Yuan didn't know how to understand it.
This was the first time Gu Yuan heard the word martial arts.
Gu Yuan definitely doesn't know how different the martial arts world is from Jianghu.
But since you don’t know, don’t think so much.
Anyway, it seems like things can continue under this situation.
However, Gu Yuan also wanted to know what Wulin was really like.
Gu Yuan asked.
"When I advance my cultivation to the peak of martial arts, am I qualified to aspire to the top of the martial arts world?"
"It can be said that when you strive to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, at most you have a stepping stone to the door of martial arts."
This time, Gu Yuan was speechless.
He asked again: "Where did you know these things?"
"Well... we at Sixi Tea House know everything. More importantly, we also know... that the Nine Elements Sect will return sooner or later."
"return?
What a joke!"
Gu Yuan felt that what Fan Laixi said was very interesting. How could the Nine Elements Sect return except for its revival?
Fan Laixi said: "Because... the original Jiuxing Yamen was not established for the nine sects now."
