Chapter 101 Further, the sea and the sky are brighter
After having a full lunch, Lao Hu made a big fire pot in the living room. Everyone gathered around the fire pot, drank tea and warmed up the fire while chatting.
Huang Xiaoshi learned about the aftermath of the Hangzhou incident from Wei Ming.
In fact, there is no follow-up. Although this matter has been brought to an unsatisfactory end, it is also an end.
The game surrounding General Qi, with the death of General Qi, everything has been settled.
When Huang Xiaoshi heard this, he nodded in understanding, but he always felt that it would not be that simple.
Based on Huang Xiaoshi's memory and his understanding and interpretation of the imperial policies in the past few years, Huang Xiaoshi believed that this emperor was an extremely paranoid man.
This kind of person's view on anything is either "yes" or "no", there is no "don't know" or "maybe, maybe".
No matter how you look at it, that crazy emperor is not the kind of person who likes to expose things casually.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi just didn't know what the emperor's back-up plan was, but he didn't believe that the emperor had no back-up plan.
At this time, Wu Xiazi opened his mouth to Huang Xiaoshi and asked: "Xiao Shi, do you know the Young Heroes Association?"
Young Heroes Club?
After Huang Xiaoshi thought for a moment, he shook his head.
It's better that Huang Xiaoshi "should" not know this kind of news.
After stroking his beard, Wu Xiazi said to Huang Xiaoshi: "The Young Heroes Conference was held seventeen years ago in order to encourage outstanding heroic young people due to the war between the Central Plains martial arts people and the Tianlong Sect, which resulted in heavy casualties.
This conference is held every six years, and the age limit is twenty. Participants must not be over twenty years old.
The winner will not only get the title of 'Young Hero', but also a prize provided by the organizer.
Xiaoshi, you can go and try it."
Huang Xiaoshi nodded seriously while listening, but he knew that Wu Xiazi was not completely telling the truth.
This is the reason why Huang Xiaoshi "doesn't know", because he wants to see what Wu Xiazi says before he can grasp how much he should "know".
The Young Heroes Association is indeed related to the Tianlong Sect, but the first Young Heroes Association was twenty-three years ago.
The fundamental purpose of that Young Heroes Association was to select the best among the young people in the martial arts world and then go undercover in the Tianlong Sect.
The specific reasons are the same as mentioned in Infernal Affairs.
In that session, Wudang Sect newcomers Dongfang Xi and Zhuo Renqing were tied for first place, so the task of undercover Tianlong Sect naturally fell on them.
As a result, after Dongfang Xi worked undercover in the Tianlong Sect for several years, he actually found a woman in the Tianlong Sect and got married and had children.
If this could still be called the undercover's last resort, then in the 17th year of the war between the six major sects and the Tianlong Sect, Dongfang Xi actually jumped out to persuade them to make peace.
What is Dongfang Xi’s identity?
He is the top disciple of the Wudang Sect, and he is a young elite carefully selected by the six major sects. He should stand with the six major sects unconditionally, but in the end he actually wants to persuade him to make peace?
Later, Dongfang Xi's identity was revealed.
Although the King of Heaven graciously expressed his intention to forget the past, Dongfang Xi could no longer gain a foothold in the Tianlong Sect, so he sadly left the Tianlong Sect with his wife and children.
As soon as Dongfang Xi and his wife left the Tianlong Sect, they encountered the siege of the "anti-corruption team" composed of various martial arts figures in the Central Plains. Although these peripheral people did not have enough strength to attack the Tianlong Sect, they still had the strength to kill a martial arts scum.
After a fierce battle, Dongfang Xi and his wife were rounded up and killed, and the undercover operation failed completely.
Because this undercover operation failed extremely completely.
During the execution of Dongfang Xi and his wife, too many grudges and hatreds occurred, so that this incident became something that everyone in the martial arts community kept silent about. As time went by, it naturally disappeared into history.
The second Young Heroes Association was held after the war. This was really to promote newcomers to the martial arts world. At the same time, in order to prevent the sect from filling up all the places at once, a restriction was made that each sect could only send one person.
.
In the second session, the organizers not only did not send the winning young heroes out to complete difficult tasks, but instead gave them major rewards.
Therefore, the Young Heroes Club suddenly became a good opportunity for newcomers to make a name for themselves.
The ranking list of Jianghu Baixiaosheng is certainly fair, but if you are ranked first with real swords and guns, people in the martial arts world will think that this is where you belong.
Xiaoyao Valley also encountered a small problem.
Each sect of the Young Heroes Association can only send one person to participate. There are exactly two qualified disciples in Xiaoyao Valley this year, one is Thorns and the other is Unknown.
Logically speaking, based on the order of seniority and youth, Thorns should be sent to compete, but Dongfang Weiming is seventeen years old this year, and he will be overage for the next competition.
Moreover, Wu Xiazi could also see that Wei Ming was much stronger than the thorns in terms of character and growth potential.
If thorns were sent, Wu Xiazi felt it would be unfair to Wei Ming.
Similarly, if the dispatch is not clear, it seems unfair to the thorns.
After thinking for a long time, Wu Xiazi called the two apprentices together, explained to them the affairs of the Young Heroes Association, and explained his selection principles:
Before attending the meeting, the two apprentices competed to see who would win.
As soon as Wu Xiazi said these words, Jingji and Weiming let go.
Since you are going to participate in the Young Heroes Association, you must be aiming for the first place. If you can't beat your fellow disciples, then isn't it a waste of time?
It's fair to determine quotas based on force.
Therefore, Jingji pulled Gu Yuexuan to practice martial arts diligently every day and polish his actual combat skills; while Weiming practiced Wuxiang Xiaoyao Kung diligently.
Speaking of which, the paths of the two of them are quite similar to the Sword Sect and Air Sect of the Huashan Sect back then.
Here is another thing that many people will naturally think wrong: working hard in the early stage may not be wrong, and having a promising future may not necessarily be strong.
Perhaps influenced by too many inspirational stories, many people subconsciously believe that in the future, those with great potential will be kings.
However, there is a very serious problem of survivor bias and cruel elimination rate.
Take the Sword Sect and Qi Sect of the Huashan Sect as an example.
When the Qi Sect has reached great success, it is true that Qi is used to control the sword, and a single move can defeat the sword sect's hundreds of moves.
However, the practice of Qi Buddhism is usually based on ten, twenty, or thirty years of time, and requires the practitioner's talent, perseverance, diligence, and opportunities. There is no shortage of everything.
Even if you are very good at airbending once you master it, the problem is what if you fail to master it.
On the contrary, it takes a few years for a swordsman to mature his skills. After ten years of practicing swordsmanship, he has perfected his moves and is ready to go down the mountain to harvest.
By the time you get old and have mastered your skills, you will have already become famous and retired from the world.
Sometimes it is a good choice to fight in the early stage. As long as you can defeat the opponent in the early stage, then the opponent will have no hope for the future.
Therefore, even Wu Xiazi, a typical super master known for his strong internal strength, would not deny Thorns' choice.
Young people, it is always good to try more.
Similarly, the reason why Wei Ming studies and practices internal skills diligently is because he feels that if he can improve his internal skills in a short period of time, the benefits will be greater.
This is the best choice that everyone makes based on their different talents and qualifications when time is limited.
Many times, when you want, want, want, and want them all, you can only ask for them in your dreams.
As soon as Wu Xiazi finished speaking, Huang Xiaoshi immediately felt four eyes on him, and saw Jingji and Weiming gathering together to stare at him intently.
Huang Xiaoshi scratched his head and said, "I don't have much interest in the Young Heroes Association."
When Huang Xiaoshi said this, Jingjia looked slightly disappointed, while Weiming looked relieved.
Wu Xiazi shook his head and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Xiao Shi, when you are in the rivers and lakes, it is like sailing against the current. You have to use all your strength to ensure that you stay where you are.
You are still so young, you should try more, have more adventures, and make more friends with younger peers."
When Wu Xiazi said this, Huang Xiaoshi naturally agreed.
Of course, Wu Xiazi did not explain all the truth.
The most important thing is that Fang Yunhua, who is number one on the Jianghu Rookie List, is already 21 this year. He cannot participate in the Young Heroes Association. If Huang Xiaoshi, who is second on the list, does not participate, this Young Heroes Association will undoubtedly be questioned.
The level of the contestants is insufficient.
After three tastes of tea, Huang Xiaoshi saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to everyone. He had to rush back to Luoyang City.
After Huang Xiaoshi left, Jingji rarely pulled Gu Yuexuan to continue practicing martial arts, and Weiming did not meditate to practice internal skills. The two of them sat there thinking, if they met Huang Xiaoshi at the Young Heroes Meeting, would they be sure to win?
If they can't defeat Huang Xiaoshi, then what's the point of the two brothers fighting at each other's throats here?
Seeing Jingji and Weiming like this, Wu Xiazi nodded with satisfaction.
It is a good thing for young people to have a good temper, but it is also very important to know that the sea and the sky are vast. You cannot always focus on the small world at home.
Competition between brothers is a good thing, but competition in this world does not only come from fellow students.
Jianghu is very big.
After Huang Xiaoshi returned to Luoyang City, he could finally have a peaceful rest.
However, before his butt could get hot, Fatty Wang came to the door. He came to give money.
"Master Shi, this is one hundred taels of silver, please take a look at it." Fatty Wang said to Huang Xiaoshi very politely.
Huang Xiaoshi glanced at the neatly arranged silver in the wooden box and nodded with some confusion.
"Master Shi, although Sun Gouzi ran away, this debt will definitely not be ignored." Fatty Wang said to Huang Xiaoshi, "You are magnanimous and have waited for so long. I see it in my eyes."
, keep it in mind.
The small piece of land is still profitable to a certain extent, and paying it back bit by bit will eventually pay off Master Shi's debt."
Oh, it turns out it was about the eight hundred taels of silver.
When Huang Xiaoshi heard this, he became even more confused.
However, Huang Xiaoshi knew that this must not be about money. He showed a bright smile on his face and asked shopkeeper Wang to go inside to discuss it in detail.
As soon as the door closed, the peace on Fatty Wang's face disappeared. He hurriedly said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Master Yasha wants me to wait for you to return to the city, and I must contact you immediately."
Fatty Wang and Huang Xiaoshi have a one-way communication, but now there is a problem. Fatty Wang has to rush to deliver news to Huang Xiaoshi. His identity is somewhat special, so he cannot come to Shennong Baicaomen out of nowhere.
So, Fatty Wang gritted his teeth, took out one hundred taels of silver from the share he paid to the Tianlong Sect, and went to the house with the silver. This was when he finally met Huang Xiaoshi.
As for the missing one hundred taels of silver, Fatty Wang will just explain it to Yaksha later.
Yaksha is quite humane and would not force his subordinates to pay for official business.
By the way, Fatty Wang is also a business wizard. After the underground casino reopened, it was even more lively than before.
In addition to the ordinary boxing and kicking matches, the newly opened underground casino has also added a new equipment match.
You can play with swords, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks as long as you can carry them in and spread them out in a small space.
This time it became even more exciting. Many people who were not good at boxing and kicking before were now taking up the fight with knives.
There was a flash of swords and swords, and the melon eater saw blood and was very unhappy.
Seeing how boxing is not as enjoyable as killing people.
Of course, this is not a random killing. Before the fight started, a "Friendly Martial Arts Agreement" was signed. It was just a martial arts competition, not for the purpose of hurting or killing people.
So far, it seems that Fatty Wang has a good grasp of the heat, and he has never heard of any fatalities.
And this time Fatty Wang was smarter. He changed Sun Gouzi's model of gambling between gamblers and bankers, and changed it to a model where gamblers play against gamblers, and the banker only takes a commission.
The commission seems to be a little less, but the risk is smaller, and there won't be a major event where you lose 800 taels per order.
With the adoption of floating odds, there are very few boxing matches that were one-sided in the past.
It is not possible to bet on games that are too different.
Therefore, although the level of sparring in underground casinos is not as good as before, the scenes are more exciting than before, and the scenes of swords and swords are really exciting.
The story changed again. Yasha has been unable to contact Huang Xiaoshi since Huang Xiaoshi took leave and returned to Shuzhong last year. This leave has really taken a long time, and it has become so long that Yasha is a little angry.
Therefore, Fatty Wang said carefully to Huang Xiaoshi, saying that Master Yasha may not have a good temper recently.
When Huang Xiaoshi heard this, he nodded involuntarily. Fortunately, he was not just running around in the past few months. He had really done a lot of things.
…
In the middle of Shu, at the headquarters of Shennong Baicao Sect in Chengdu, the two deputy sect masters and eight hall masters were all present, and the room was filled with solemnity and a murderous atmosphere.
Gong Guangjie sat on a chair. After being silent for a while, he raised his head and said to everyone: "Everyone should have heard about this. Lao Wang's caravan was robbed and killed in Yunling, and even Lao Wang was hacked to death.
.”
Just after the New Year, Deputy Sect Master Wang led a caravan into Yunling. Then he delivered medicine and goods, and then talked to the leader about the benefits of becoming a shareholder.
In this way, Deputy Sect Master Wang captured several tribes in succession, but when he was halfway deep into Yunling, the caravan was attacked.
There were so many people coming, and the disciples of Shennong Baicao Sect were not weak in combat, but after being besieged for a day and night, Deputy Sect Master Wang decided to abandon his goods to save his life, and broke out with the remaining disciples.
Finally, with everyone's hard fighting, they broke through the encirclement and fought their way out.
However, the attackers pursued for dozens of miles and wiped out the entire caravan alive.
At the last moment, Deputy Sect Master Wang and several of his disciples cut off the rear and covered the retreat of a guy with the fastest legs and feet. As long as he could run home, the deaths of these hundreds of people would not have been in vain.
After more than ten days of traveling through the night, this disciple finally returned to Sichuan.
Subsequently, the Shennong Baicaomen stronghold in central Shu immediately prepared troops and escorted the man back to Shennong Baicaomen in Chengdu.
As soon as the news spread, this bloody debt weighed on everyone's hearts.
Thousands of pieces of goods, hundreds of lives, and a deputy sect master were all gone.
Maybe those who intercepted the goods came to the Shennong Baicao Gate, or maybe those who intercepted the goods were just used to robbing passing caravans, but it didn't matter.
Blood debts can only be repaid with blood.
"Old Zhang, how are your manpower preparations over there?" Gong Guangjie asked Deputy Sect Master Zhang.
"Sir, everything is in order." Deputy Zhang responded loudly.
"Old Wang, please don't do it. It's your turn this time." Gong Guangjie said to Deputy Sect Master Zhang: "We still have to remember that we should be polite before fighting. We are not unreasonable people.
Take my goods and return them to me.
Take my medicine and spit it out for me.
The person who killed me will have his head chopped off!"
