Chapter 31 Chunkong
The flow is a situation that the dealer doesn’t want to see.
During the duel on the ring, Sun Yixie worked hard for most of the day to open the market, but was disastrously disastrous by a masked man in black who suddenly came out of nowhere. He was naturally very unhappy.
But even if he was unhappy, he had no choice but to do anything; now the man in black is gone, and he has no friendship with Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi. Even if he goes to the person involved to ask, it is impossible for him to tell him the whole story, so Brother Sun can only give up.
It was not until later that when Sun Yixie participated in the Youth Heroes Club and returned to Xuzhou that he directly understood the series of things today through Miss Chuxue. Of course, that is a later story, so I won't mention it here for the time being.
Let’s talk about the itinerary of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai… Because of the excitement, they stayed in Xuzhou for another day. The next morning, they set off again.
In short, since they left Hangzhou City, the two of them had been traveling for more than twenty days. What they encountered during these days also made them feel more and more like being in the world.
Today, they finally arrived near Luoyang.
There are many famous mountains in the heart of the Central Plains. The two of them walked from the official road and headed northwest. The mountain they had to pass was Songshan.
There are two sects on Songshan: one is the Songshan Sect, and the other is Shaolin.
In this universe's martial arts world, Shaolin is no longer a "Taishan Beidou" level, but it still has a very high status and is one of the oldest and most powerful sects.
The Songshan Sect is also a well-known sect, but its overall strength is worse than that of Shaolin.
The two factions are very close to each other, but they have no evil or any competitive relationship. After all, the two factions have different martial arts and different rules, so they face different "markets".
In this world, not everyone can become a monk in order to learn martial arts; and for lay disciples, the recruitment standards for Shaolin Temple are quite strict. Even if you are recruited, the highest martial arts that lay disciples can learn are the skills in the Dharma Academy. You can basically not get in touch with the superior Zen martial arts in the Sutra Pavilion that need to be practiced with Buddhism.
There are not so many restrictions in the Songshan Sect. You don’t have to be a monk or choose disciples too much. As long as you have the talent and work hard and don’t make any mistakes, you can go in and chase the dream of the leader. Even if you don’t make any name in the end, you can withdraw from the sect and go to the world by yourself... Oh, of course, if you learn the best kung fu within the sect, you still have to nullify this martial arts first before you can leave the master. It doesn’t matter if you don’t learn it, and no one will stop you if you want to leave.
After Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai arrived at the small town at the foot of Songshan Mountain, they clearly felt the influence and foundation of these two sects here.
Many fields around the town are from Shaolin Temple and Songshan School. Several inns in the town also have their shares, because there are endless streams of young people from the two sects to stay in. There are also blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, cloth shops, tailor shops, etc. in the town also have to rely on the weapons and clothing orders given by these two sects.
In short, most of the five elements and eight industries in this town are related to these two sects, and they already have a symbiotic and economic flavor.
This is also a common operating model for high-ranking schools in this great universe.
Whether it is the martial arts novels or films we read when we were young, we usually ignore some details, such as
Where did the money from the heroes who spent money like money come from?
The martial arts families either practice martial arts or fight in the internal strife every day. How can they maintain their rich life?
Do those famous and upright sects charge registration fees?
How much food does a sect with a scale of more than 500 people consume every day? How much water? How much cooks do you use? How much manpower and logistics resources do you need to transport food, water, and treat the kitchen waste they make? What about their personal hygiene problems such as how to solve the bath? What about related medical facilities?
A large number of practical problems like this should actually be reasonable.
When it comes to people in the evil sect, these details can be explained by "burning, killing, looting and robbing to get everything done", but the famous and upright sect... if there is no industry, no stable income, and no professional managers, it will definitely not be able to operate.
Not to mention five hundred people, I only give you fifty people to be their heads; every day when you open your eyes, you will have to serve these grandchildren's clothing, food, housing and transportation. Are you sure you still have time to teach people martial arts?
Therefore, instead of treating sects with a little scale, it is better to treat them as one company; except for the chairman, that is, the head, finance, personnel, logistics, etc., none of them are missing.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai don’t understand these principles very well. It was not until later that they found out how troublesome management and operation were to have their own organization.
Fortunately, they are just two "little heroes" at the moment. Although they have no fame, they don't have to bear any responsibility. They are a great time to travel around the world without worry.
The two of them spent a long time walking around the town at the foot of Songshan Mountain. They were filled with a lot of strange stories about Shaolin Temple and Songshan School, but the authenticity of it... it is really hard to judge.
They wanted to go up the mountain to take a look, but they couldn't.
Because this is a sect, not a tourist attraction, if you want to go in and have a saying, it is impossible to say, "I just want to come and visit." If that happens, wouldn't the evil spies come and go freely?
If Sun and Huang are famous in the world, then it’s different. You can report your name and say that you have heard of the name of the leader/abbot for a long time. You want to visit him. If someone has time and has heard of your name, he might let you come in and see you, have a cup of tea and make friends.
Unfortunately...the two of them did not reach that position; Huang Donglai's title of the young master of the Huang Sect may be a little useful, but Sun Yixie is really a case where no one will let you in no matter how you say it.
Therefore, they only stayed here for one night, and set off again the next day.
Unexpectedly, they had just rode their horses slowly to the edge of the town that day. Before they could even go to the official road, a man suddenly called them from behind.
"Amitabha... two donors, please stay."
The voice came from behind Sun and Huang, and the voice seemed a little tender.
They pulled the reins, strangled the horse, and looked back.
But he saw a young monk of sixteen or seven years old wearing a monk's robe, with scars on his head, beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, red lips. At this moment, he was folding his hands together and bowing to the two of them.
"What's the point of doing this little master?" Sun Yixie saw that it was a monk and called him. His first reaction was that the other party might beg for alms, so he asked casually and was ready to give some copper coins to deal with it.
However, the other party's response surprised him: "The little monk Chunkong is a disciple of Shaolin Chun generation. I wish the little monk abrupt, so I dare to ask... The two donors, this trip is going to Luoyang, will the young hero go to participate?"
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other, and their eyes changed, and then Huang Donglai answered: "I don't know... Master Chunkong, why do you think so?"
He is answering questions with questions and making a counter-test.
Chunkong was open and honest and said bluntly: "Amitabha... because the two left the town were walking towards the northwest official road. If they didn't turn to the small road halfway, then that road would only lead to Luoyang; secondly, the monk saw that the two donors were about my age and were both under internal strength, and the donor was carrying a Qimen weapon... So the monk guessed that you might want to attend the Youth Heroes Club before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Indeed, this place is not far from Luoyang City, and with the characteristics of them, it is not difficult to infer these.
"So that's it." Huang Donglai nodded, and he had already said this, so there was no need for him to beat around the bush. "Yes, Huang Donglai is here. This is my brother Sun Yixie. I am going to attend the Young Heroes Club. How can I ask Master Chunkong what advice do you have?"
