When you have a certain degree of fame, you will be in the world wherever you are.
…
Huang Xiaoshi now has a profound understanding of the above two sentences. What he never expected was that he could make new friends while he was shutting himself up and thinking about his mistakes without leaving home.
Yan Yu was led in by Yang Yun.
"This is Huang Xiaoshi." Yang Yun introduced to Yan Yu very familiarly.
"I have long admired your name." Yan Yu said as he saluted Huang Xiaoshi.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Huang Xiaoshi returned the courtesy.
This is really the "first" meeting between the two.
Huang Xiaoshi originally thought that he would never interact with Yan Yu in this life, but he didn't expect that Yan Yu would come to his door.
…
Yan Yu's life is really colorful.
He encountered the glory and wealth of his childhood, the wanderings of his youth, and the waiting for his destiny in his youth.
Originally, when the nightmare that had been weighing on his heart finally left, Yanyu, who had been reborn, thought that the beauty of this world would come to his life again.
It's a pity that there is nothing beautiful in this world to begin with.
Life is not easy for the noble young master who is homeless and anonymous;
But the life of ordinary people is also not easy.
When Yanyu decided to embrace life again, life did not give him a big hug in return, but directly threw him over the shoulder.
Last year, several major incidents occurred in the Qingcheng Sect. First, the leader and master died mysteriously one after another. If it weren't for the support of Ziyangzi and Qingxiazi, known as the "Purple and Green Swords", the Qingcheng Sect would have been destroyed.
It might collapse.
A country cannot live without a king for a day, and the same is true for a sect.
Even if two people co-manage, there will still be a priority. If not, there will inevitably be a situation where the two will be in opposition and eventually split.
Let's just say that in a family, the husband and wife must have their own priorities, otherwise they will have to break up.
Here, I want to remind you that a man must not give in even an inch.
If you say you don't want to be a family member, you won't be a member of the family, and even if you kill someone, you won't be a member of the family.
Remember, remember.
…
Because everyone discovered that the Qingcheng Sect was already in conflict with Ziyangzi and Qingxiazi, so several seniors and juniors decided to choose one between Ziyangzi and Qingxiazi through a public competition.
Head.
In that battle, Qingxiazi performed extremely poorly, but Ziyangzi won overwhelmingly and became the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.
Logically speaking, after Ziyangzi became the leader, he should recommend Qingxiazi as the leader. In this way, the two of them would be the leader once, which would be the best situation for their supporters.
However, Ziyangzi did not.
After Ziyangzi became the head of the clan, he also served as the head of the clan. He single-handedly took over the power of both the Qingcheng sect and the temple.
It's just that Qingxiazi's character is too kind and honest, and she doesn't argue about this kind of thing at all.
Tao says: If you don’t fight, you will win.
However, this sentence depends on the situation.
If two people are debating scriptures and bickering, this sentence is absolutely correct.
If the two of them have become so incompetent, and being merciful and merciful is a rare quality, the vast majority of people will take advantage of it, add insult to injury, and kill them all.
Ever since he became the leader, Ziyangzi has been trying his best to put small shoes on Qingxiazi all day long. But Qingxiazi is really a man who is strong without desire, and Ziyangzi has no way to control him.
Finally one day, Ziyangzi found a good excuse.
At the end of the year, Ziyangzi called everyone in the sect and temple together for a meeting.
At the conference, Ziyangzi said that as the new leader and leader, he should report to everyone on the current situation of the sect.
As a result, Ziyangzi changed hands and took out a bill that was almost a foot thick. These bills were owed by the previous heads. When he added them up, they turned out to be thousands of taels.
As soon as Ziyangzi said this, everyone was in an uproar.
The Qingcheng sect does not have many people, just over a hundred people, but they have hundreds of acres of fertile land, and the huge temple has constant incense every year, so the income is quite a lot.
With so much income, how come the Qingcheng Sect is in debt every year?
The uncles took the bill and looked at it carefully, and found that the outstanding debts were not spent on the sect, but were spent on the renovation and expansion of the temple.
In recent years, the Qingcheng Sect Taoist Temple has expanded a lot. In addition to the new Jade Emperor Hall, many new buildings have been built for pilgrims to rest.
These all cost money.
However, since the money is owed, there is no need to rush.
After all, these are all considered investments. We have to hold an incense ceremony every year, and we can pay it back slowly from the money raised from the incense ceremony.
What's more, money lent to temples usually does not have interest, and creditors will not come to collect debts.
If you are serious and pay it back, they will accept it. If you don't pay it back, it will be regarded as a good deed.
As a result, Ziyangzi immediately became serious.
Ziyangzi said sternly that repaying debts is a matter of course. As a model of righteousness, the Qingcheng sect should not repay debts.
This is certainly true.
Does it mean that you have to pay back the debt?
This is not the future of thousands of years.
Later, Ziyangzi said to everyone that everyone should work together to settle the debt together to maintain the face and credibility of the Qingcheng Sect.
As the head of the Qingcheng Sect, he has important responsibilities.
This is also true.
At this time, Ziyangzi took out a list that he had drawn up himself. He announced loudly that everyone present corresponded to the amount of charity that needed to be raised by themselves. After this meeting, they would start raising money individually. When would the money be raised?
That's enough. Come back when.
When Ziyangzi said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Immediately afterwards, Ziyangzi announced that he would be responsible for raising 600 taels of silver.
When Ziyangzi said this, everyone fell silent.
The head of the family is responsible for six hundred taels alone, so how can anyone else say anything?
Afterwards, Ziyangzi began to read the names one by one, and after the name was the amount of money that needed to be raised.
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. The amount allocated to everyone was not too much.
For example, Yan Yu, who was the senior disciple among this generation of disciples, ended up with only ten taels of silver.
The amount of money is either too much or too little.
Although Yan Yu usually spent all the money he got on buying swords and maintaining them, he really didn't save any money, but he still had a few taels of silver here and there.
If you think of something else, these ten taels of silver will be enough.
Not only Yanyu is like this, but others are also like this. Just grit your teeth and raise enough money.
Even if you don't have money for a while, you can still find a way to borrow some.
Anyway, the temple will give out money every month. If you have other extra income from doing rituals, if you are lucky, you may get a few taels of silver a month.
However, there is one person whose claws are numb, and this person is Yanyu's master, Qingxiazi.
After all, isn't it known as the "Purple and Green Swords"? Qingxiazi was allocated three hundred taels of silver.
Of course, you can't say that the head of the family did it on purpose. Zi Yangzi allocated 600 taels of silver to himself.
However, there are differences between people's abilities.
It is easy for Ziyangzi to get six hundred taels of silver. At worst, he can just borrow it from Mohuluojia. But Qingxiazi, who has been a Taoist priest in the Qingcheng sect for half his life, knows how to chant sutras and practice swordsmanship all day long. He understands
What a fucking fundraiser.
With a sigh, Qingxiazi put on his Taoist robes and carried his sword on his back, and went down the mountain to beg for alms and raise funds. However, unable to raise the three hundred taels, he returned to the Qingcheng sect without shame.
However, how could Qingxiazi raise three hundred taels of silver? I'm afraid she won't be able to raise it all in this life.
When the master is in trouble, the disciples will naturally help him. Unfortunately, Yan Yu is also powerless when it comes to money.
From that day on, Yan Yu also followed his master down the mountain. At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the two said goodbye.
Master has not returned to Qingcheng Mountain, so how can I have the dignity to go back?
The world is so big that there is nowhere to stay.
Yanyu has been wandering around since then.
It is impossible to work part-time, not even in this life.
It's not that Yanyu looks down on those physical jobs, but that he really doesn't know how to do them.
In addition to some extremely simple life skills, Yanyu doesn't know any other acrobatics.
This was what Wuxianzi was most worried about at that time: he had to have a skill.
However, Yan Yu also has an identity that can make a living for himself. He is a regular Taoist priest who has a strict ultimatum.
However, Yanyu didn't even serve the bowl of rice, and he couldn't even do rituals.
Fortunately, the court has a wanted bounty.
Whenever Yan Yu went to a place, he would look at the bounty list and ask people for information. He actually defeated several small gangs and took about ten taels of silver.
This was also bad luck. If Black Wind Village was still there, Yan Yu would definitely have dragged his master and fought in.
Do you know why the bandit dens in the Central Plains are not growing big? It's because those seemingly fierce bandits are actually gold mines that martial arts masters can mine at any time. It's just a matter of who is willing to dig first.
Yan Yu, who was wandering around while fantasizing about raising money for his master by relying on bounties, heard news that there was a sword master in Luoyang City who was teaching others how to use swords every day.
As soon as the sword was mentioned, Yan Yu's heart was unbearably itchy, and he eagerly came towards Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, when he came over, it was too late. Huang Xiaoshi had already closed the door to thank guests and stopped competing with others.
Yan Yu, who was sighing, saw Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun entering the Shennong Baicao Gate. Later, because he was attracted by Yang Yun's sword, he boldly went up to chat with them.
After the conversation between the three went around, Yang Yun discovered that Yan Yu wanted to visit Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi was indeed thanking guests behind closed doors, but the person he declined was a guest, not a friend, so Yang Yun happily brought Yan Yu in.
As for Fu Jianhan, he went to the tavern alone to continue drinking. While Yang Yun, who liked to persuade people to drink less, was not around, he quickly drank a jar of wine.
After leading Yan Yu into the Shennong Baicao Gate, after saying a few words, Yang Yun also resigned.
A person like Yan Yu who only likes drinking tea has a temperament that cannot be matched with someone who likes drinking. Even if they are both sword lovers, they can't pee in the same pot.
Huang Xiaoshi can talk to everyone, because he is basically watching people order their food.
He neither likes wine nor tea, and Happy Water is Huang Xiaoshi's eternal favorite.
…
"Come, brother Yan, please drink tea." Huang Xiaoshi poured a cup of tea for Yan Yu himself and said to him: "This is Luoyang's famous product, peony black tea. Brother Yan comes from Sichuan, so he may not be used to drinking black tea, but
You can try it.”
Yan Yu took a sip of tea and nodded.
In fact, when Yan Yu was a child, his family always drank black tea. It was only after he arrived in Sichuan that Yan Yu started drinking green tea, so there is nothing he is not used to drinking black tea.
"Brother Yan, what's the matter? Why are you here in Luoyang?" Huang Xiaoshi asked so casually that Yan Yu was silenced.
Although it is said that Yan Yu came here to discuss swordsmanship with Huang Xiaoshi, he did not come here specifically to see Huang Xiaoshi.
What happened here cannot be explained in a few words, and I don’t even know where to start.
Huang Xiaoshi is from Shu, and he still speaks with a strong Shu accent.
Originally, Yan Yu was not used to the Shu accent, but in this foreign land, the Shu accent turned out to be so friendly.
Finally, Yan Yu told Huang Xiaoshi the recent events from beginning to end.
"That's it." Huang Xiaoshi tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table while listening.
Yanyu didn't come to Huang Xiaoshi to borrow money. Firstly, he was embarrassed to ask, and secondly, he didn't think he could borrow so much money by asking.
Yan Yu just mentioned that he wanted to see Huang Xiaoshi's [Full Moon Sword].
But what Huang Xiaoshi is thinking about now is whether to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Yan Yu.
It can be said that you covet my sword and I covet your people.
…
Regardless of his status, among the younger generation in the Central Plains martial arts community, Yan Yu ranks third among sword masters.
The first is Fu Jianhan, the second is Thorns who cultivates both swords and swords, and the third is Yan Yu.
Fang Yunhua was naturally not included in Huang Xiaoshi's calculations. If he didn't have a player status, he wouldn't even be ranked in the top ten.
Yanyu's ability is really good. If he can grow steadily, there is a high probability that he can enter the level of a first-class master.
In the current martial arts world, first-class masters seem to be in the second echelon, but there are only a handful of super-first-class masters.
It can be said that first-class masters are the main force of the strong in the world.
If a sect has several top-notch masters, it is already very impressive; but many sects, such as the current Qingcheng Sect, do not even have one such master.
After drinking two more sips of tea, Huang Xiaoshi said to Yan Yu: "Brother Yan, you and I are both from Shu. We all say, 'Keep in touch or not, listen to the local accent.' We are one family in this foreign land."
If Brother Yan thinks highly of me, Mr. Huang, can you listen to me?"
After hearing what Huang Xiaoshi said, Yan Yu nodded.
"Brother Yan, why don't you come over and help me? How about I give Brother Yan twenty taels of silver a month?" Huang Xiaoshi directly offered a high-paying position to Yan Yu.
Guo Furong's salary for a month was only two taels of silver, and the unscrupulous and sinister landlady still had to deduct room and board expenses.
Huang Xiaoshi directly offered Yan Yu twenty taels of silver.
Aren't you short of money?
Come on, I'm rich here and can afford it.
After hearing Huang Xiaoshi's words, Yan Yu was speechless. He didn't know whether he was considering whether twenty taels of silver a month was appropriate, or whether he was calculating how long it would take to raise enough money for the master.
In order to help Yan Yu make up his mind, Huang Xiaoshi said to him again: "If Brother Yan agrees, you can advance three hundred taels of silver from me first."
"Okay." As soon as Huang Xiaoshi said this, Yan Yu immediately raised his head and agreed.
If it was not easy to calculate before, you can figure it out immediately now.
As long as Huang Xiaoshi agrees, the master can return to Qingcheng Mountain immediately.
Seeing that Yan Yu agreed, Huang Xiaoshi clapped his legs and cheered. Then he shouted several times to the people coming and going next to him. After a while, someone brought the Four Treasures of the Study.
Huang Xiaoshi took up his pen and wrote on a piece of white paper. He stopped writing and waited for a while. When the ink dried, he handed what he had written to Yan Yu to see.
Yan Yu originally thought it was a recruitment document or something, but when he took the letter and looked at it, he found that it was a letter written by Huang Xiaoshi to the general manager of Chengdu.
The content of the letter was very simple. After receiving the letter, they were asked to take three hundred taels of silver and send it to the Qingcheng faction in the name of Yan Yu.
The letter didn't mention anything else.
"Brother Yan, do you want to add some words?" Huang Xiaoshi asked Yan Yu who was holding the letter.
Yanyu thought for a while, then he picked up his pen and wrote a few lines on the letter paper, to the effect that this money was a fundraiser for his master Qingxiazi. After receiving the money, please inform Qingxiazi so that he would not continue to be outside.
Running around.
Then Yanyu asked Qingxiazi for leave, saying that he would not return to the Qingcheng faction within two years. If something happened, he could send a letter to Luoyang or come to Luoyang to find him.
After Yan Yu finished writing, when the ink dried, Huang Xiaoshi took the letter paper, folded it in half and put it in his arms.
Huang Xiaoshi said to Yan Yu: "Brother Yan, please sit down for a moment while I find someone to take this letter back to Shu."
Huang Xiaoshi stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
