Losing the game is a situation that bookmakers don’t want to see.
As for the duel in the ring, Sun Yixie had been busy for a long time for the opening of the market, but was disturbed by a masked man in black who suddenly appeared and had an unknown origin. Naturally, he was very unhappy.
But he was unhappy, and there was nothing he could do about it; now the man in black was missing, and he had no friendship with Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi. Even if he went to ask the person involved, they would not be able to tell him the whole story.
So Brother Sun had no choice but to give up.
It was not until later, when Sun Yixie returned to Xuzhou after participating in the Young Heroes Association, that he directly understood the series of events today through Miss Chuxue. Of course, that is a story for a later time and will not be mentioned here.
Let's talk about Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's itinerary... Because of the excitement, they stayed in Xuzhou for one more day, and they set off again the next morning.
All in all, the two of them had been traveling for more than twenty days since they left Hangzhou. The things they encountered during these days made them feel more and more like they were in the world.
Today, they finally arrived near Luoyang.
There are many famous mountains in the hinterland of the Central Plains. When the two of them walked from the official road to the northwest, the mountain they must pass by was Songshan Mountain.
There are two sects on Songshan Mountain: one is the Songshan Sect, and the other is the Shaolin School.
In the martial arts world of this universe, Shaolin is no longer a "Taishan Beidou" level existence, but it still has a very high status and is considered one of the oldest and strongest sects.
As for the Songshan Sect, they are also a famous and decent sect, but their overall strength is somewhat inferior to that of the Shaolin Sect.
The two sects are geographically very close, but there is no enmity or any competitive relationship. After all, the two sects have different martial arts and different sect rules, so the "markets" they face are also different.
In this world, not everyone can become a monk in order to learn martial arts; and for lay disciples, Shaolin Temple’s recruitment standards are also quite strict. Even if you are recruited, the highest martial arts that lay disciples can learn is
You basically have no access to the kung fu in Bodhidharma Academy and the advanced Zen martial arts in the Sutra Pavilion that need to be practiced together with Buddhism.
The Songshan sect does not have so many restrictions. It does not require ordination or becoming a monk, and it does not select too many disciples. As long as you have talent and are willing to work hard and don't make any mistakes, you can go in and chase your dream of being the leader; even if you don't achieve anything famous in the end,
You can also quit the sect and walk around the world by yourself... Oh, of course, if you learn the best martial arts in the sect, you still have to abolish the martial arts before you can leave the sect. If you haven't learned it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you want to leave.
People stop you.
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 owned by the Shaolin Temple and the Songshan Sect; several inns in the town also have their shares, because there is an endless stream of young people who want to stay in the two sects all year round; there are also
There are blacksmith shops, carpenters, cloth shops, tailor shops, etc. in the town, and they all have to rely on orders for weapons and clothing from these two stores.
In short, most of the five industries in this town are somewhat related to these two sects, which is already a bit of a symbiotic economy.
This is also the common operating model of high-level sects in the Dazao universe.
Whether it’s the martial arts novels or movies we read when we were children, we usually ignore some details, such as——
Where does the money of these big spenders come from?
The martial arts family either practices martial arts or fights among themselves every day. How do they maintain their luxurious life?
Do those famous and decent people charge registration fees?
How much food does a sect with more than 500 people consume every day? How much water? How many cooks are used? How many manpower and logistics resources are needed to transport food, water, and deal with the food waste they produce? Their personal hygiene
How to solve problems such as bathing? What about related medical facilities?
And so on...a large number of practical problems should actually be reasonable.
When it comes to the people in the evil sect, these details can be explained by "burning, killing, looting, and everything is done." However, if the famous and decent sect... has no industry, no stable income, and no professional management personnel, it will definitely not be able to operate.
.
Not to mention five hundred people, even if I only give you fifty people now and let you be their leader, when you open your eyes every day, you will have to take care of the clothing, food, housing and transportation of these grandchildren.
Are you sure you still have time to teach people martial arts?
Therefore, the slightly larger sects in Dashu should be regarded as enterprises rather than sects. In addition to the chairman, the head, there are no one less in finance, personnel, logistics, etc.
of.
Today, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai don't quite understand these principles. It wasn't until they established their own organization that they realized how troublesome management and operations were.
Fortunately, they are just two "little heroes" at the moment. Although they don't have much fame, they don't have to bear any responsibilities. It's a good time to travel around the world without any worries.
The two of them wandered around the town at the foot of Songshan Mountain for a long time, and their ears were filled with many anecdotes about the Shaolin Temple and the Songshan Sect. However, it was difficult to judge whether they were true or false.
They wanted to go up the mountain to have a look, but they couldn't.
Because this is a sect, not a tourist attraction. If you want to go in and visit, you have to have an explanation. You can't say "I just want to come and visit." If that's the case, wouldn't the evil sect's spies be able to come and go freely?
If Sun and Huang are well-known in the world, then let's talk about it separately. If you report your name and say that you have heard the name of the leader/abbot for a long time, you want to pay a visit. If he is free, he may have heard of your name.
I will let you come in and meet you, have a cup of tea together and make friends.
It's a pity...the two of them have not reached that status; Huang Donglai's title of Young Master of the Huangmen may be somewhat useful, but Sun Yixie is really in a situation where no one will let you in no matter how much you say.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, they only stayed here for one night and set off on the road again the next day.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had just rode horses and walked slowly to the edge of the town. Before they even got to the official road, a person suddenly stopped them from behind.
"Amitabha...two donors, please stay."
The voice came from behind Sun and Huang, and the voice seemed a little immature.
They pulled the reins, stopped the horses, and looked back.
But he saw a young monk of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a monk's robe, a scar on his head, handsome eyebrows, white teeth and red lips. At this moment, he was clasping his hands together and bowing his head to the two of them.
"What do you do for this young master?" Sun Yixie saw that it was a monk who called him. His first reaction was that the other party might want to ask for alms, so he asked casually and was ready to give some.
Prepare for it with copper coins.
However, the other party's response surprised him: "The young monk Chunkong is a disciple of the Chun generation of Shaolin. I forgive the young monk for being abrupt, but I dare to ask... The two donors are going to Luoyang to attend the Young Heroes Association.
?”
Hearing this, the two people immediately looked at each other, their eyes changed, and then Huang Donglai responded: "I don't know... Master Chunkong, why do you feel so?"
He was answering a question with a question as a counter-test.
Chunkong was frank and said frankly: "Amitabha... because the direction you two left the town is towards the northwest official road. If you don't turn to a small road halfway, then that road will only lead to Luoyang; secondly, the young monk sees
The two donors are similar in age to me, and both have internal strength. This donor also carries a strange weapon... so the young monk guessed that you might want to attend the Young Heroes Association before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Indeed, this place is not far from Luoyang City. Coupled with the characteristics of the two of them, it is not difficult to deduce these.
"That's it." Huang Donglai nodded. That's it. He didn't need to beat around the bush anymore. "That's right. Huang Donglai, this is my brother Sun Yixie. The two of us are going to attend the youth meeting.
Hero Association, may I ask Master Chunkong for any advice?"
"Amitabha... how dare you, how dare you." Chunkong responded with a humble and sincere tone, "The young monk called you two to stop, because the young monk followed the master's order and also went to Luoyang to attend the meeting. I just walked here and happened to see you.
Donor Huang and Donor Sun also looked like they were going to Luoyang, so they boldly asked." He paused and saluted again, "Actually, I have an unkind request... I wonder if I can bring it with you if it's convenient for you two.
