Huang Xiaoshi kept track of time, and after arranging the affairs of Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang, he walked towards Shuzhong alone.
To outsiders, Huang Xiaoshi was anxious to go back to attend Gong Guangjie's wedding.
Although Gong Guangjie's wedding took place after winter, as Gong Guangjie's only direct disciple and the head of a separate sect, it was normal for Huang Xiaoshi to go back early.
In fact, according to traditional customs, the wedding has already begun. Gong Guangjie has already proposed marriage to the bride's family. The next step is to "combine the eight characters", "celebrate small gifts", "celebrate big gifts", "choose a date", and finally the wedding day (now some
Some customs are still retained in local rural areas).
This process takes at least three or four months, usually from the time the autumn harvest is over, until after winter and before the New Year.
As a direct disciple, Huang Xiaoshi can be regarded as a close relative of Gong Guangjie. He can do all these processes and needs to be present throughout the process.
Weddings and funerals are major events in life, and whether or not they are intimate is often reflected in such occasions.
Don't think it's too troublesome. There are some things that you are not qualified to participate in if you don't have a certain degree of intimacy.
Of course, Huang Xiaoshi rushed to Shuzhong because he knew that a big event was going to happen in Shuzhong next, and he had to get his "new identity" before this big thing happened.
Huang Xiaoshi only knew that at this time point, King Cheng would search for the crown prince in Shu, but he did not know the cause and effect of the entire incident.
If Huang Xiaoshi knew that this incident was deliberately caused by [Beichou Intelligence], he might be scared to death.
After all, even if there are airtight walls in the world, there is still an omniscient and omnipotent GM. Everything you do may be revealed by the GM and shaken out.
In front of GM, no one has privacy.
It can be seen that the GM is always in control of the progress of the world's plot. By releasing certain messages, they can guide the world's plot in the direction of the script they have preset.
Logically speaking, the GM would not deliberately embarrass the players or deliberately leak the player's information to NPCs, but who can say for sure.
In particular, Huang Xiaoshi is determined to be a turd stirrer to stir up this big cesspool more evenly. Is this following the wishes of the "fun people" who are watching the show, or is it going against their wishes?
This is probably something Huang Xiaoshi will never understand.
Shuzhong is almost three thousand miles away from Luoyang, so Huang Xiaoshi had to walk for a long time.
…
After Huang Xiaoshi came down the mountain, Weiming also planned to go to Luoyang City.
This has kept Huang Xiaoshi at home in Xiaoyao Valley for a month, and it is unclear whether he needs to move around.
To put it more vividly, Weiming now has too much money on his body and too little wine in his stomach.
As soon as he arrived in Luoyang City, Wei Ming's sharp eyes saw Jiang Yu, who was chatting with a young man next to him.
Compared to the vast majority of people, Jiang Yu was born with a golden key in his mouth, which is really enviable to others.
However, Jiang Yu also has Jiang Yu's troubles.
Wei Ming has just turned sixteen this year, but is already a head taller than Huang Xiaoshi.
Weiming's figure is extremely slender, and although the muscles throughout his body are not particularly prominent, they are extremely tight.
Once after practicing martial arts, he saw Weiming jumping into the lake under the waterfall to take a bath. Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help but muttered, "Children these days are developing really well."
Jiang Yu turned 20 this year, is less than five feet (one meter six) tall, and probably won't grow any longer in this life.
Of course, Jiang Yu is not a dwarf like Jiao Da. His body and limbs are extremely well-proportioned, but he just gives people the impression that he has not grown up.
With Jiang Yu's petite figure and his child-like round face, if he had been born into another wealthy family, he would have been extremely popular with women.
But the problem now is that Jiang Yu is Jiang Tianxiong’s only son and the only successor of Tiangang Wujiquan, so why the heroes generally feel sorry for Jiang Tianxiong’s retirement. This is really because Jiang Yu’s body is really helpless
It gives people a sense of trust that can shoulder Heluo's heavy burden.
As the saying goes, the father of the tiger is like the son of the dog.
This is particularly evident in Jiang Tianxiong and Jiang Yu.
[Tiangang Wuji Gong] is a very special internal skill. It not only requires extremely high qualifications, but also requires excellent foundation and bones.
Because when [Tiangang Wuji Gong] is operating, it places a huge load on the body, and the strength of the root bones represents the upper limit of the ability.
Maybe it's because the son follows his mother more. With Jiang Yu's body, even a blind person can see that his martial arts training is inferior, only a little better than that of a crippled person.
Therefore, although Jiang Yu now has the true inheritance of Jiang Tianxiong, his [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu] has reached the ceiling and is stuck at the first-class level in the world.
At the moment, Jiang Tianxiong is facing a similar predicament as Old Man Qi. They are both only sons but not talented in martial arts. The martial arts that have been passed down for so many generations, can there be any successor?
When it comes to this, it can be said that the two of them are suffering from the same problem. They both have a sense of anxiety and loss that becomes more and more lingering as they grow older.
This again involves a problem that has troubled mankind for thousands of years: how can excellent parents always give birth to excellent children.
And the answer to this conundrum is: no solution.
Countless academic parents in later generations have given birth to an ordinary or even mediocre child, which proves this point. Although advantageous inheritance is a high probability, it is not inevitable.
Qi Li is not suitable for martial arts training. She is a girl after all. If she can't do it, it won't work. She will get married in the future anyway.
Besides, it’s only a matter of time before wild ball boxing is lost, regardless of this generation or two.
But Jiang Yu is Jiang Tianxiong's only son. Whether he wants it or not, the Jiang family's century-old martial arts inheritance and the title of Heluo Hero will have to fall on him.
Of course, the difference between Jiang Tianxiong and Old Man Qi is that back then, Old Man Qi's wife died early and he had no money to continue, so he only had one daughter.
Jiang Tianxiong only has an only son, and it is his own choice.
In other words, Jiang Tianxiong is the first person who can master Tiangang Wuji Kung in the hundred years since it was introduced to the Jiang family.
Moreover, Jiang Tianxiong has always maintained the body of a boy in order to practice this Zhiyang technique.
In order to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, Jiang Tianxiong got married very late. Creating humans was like work. When the first child was born as a boy, Jiang Tianxiong completed the task of passing on the incense.
Afterwards, Jiang Tianxiong devoted himself entirely to martial arts training and no longer asked about men and women.
Hard work paid off, and when Jiang Tianxiong was not yet forty, he finally crossed a threshold that many martial arts people could not reach in their lifetime, and entered the realm of super first-class martial arts.
That year, Jiang Tianxiong was so happy that he held a banquet for his fortieth birthday, which was actually to celebrate his breakthrough in martial arts.
Unexpectedly, at this birthday banquet, Wu Xiazi, the number one martial artist in the martial arts world, paid a visit in person and handed over the important task of being the leader of the Heluo martial arts world to Jiang Tianxiong in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tianxiong was recommended by others and became the boxing instructor of the Imperial Forbidden Army.
From then on, Jiang Tianxiong stepped into the pinnacle of his life and career.
However, what he didn't expect was that in the following ten years, Jiang Tianxiong's progress in martial arts could not be said to be without progress, but it was far from as fast as he imagined.
At fifty and knowing his destiny, Jiang Tianxiong had already vaguely sensed where his limit would be in this life.
The pinnacle of martial arts that I once thought could be achieved easily turns out to be like the white clouds in the sky. It cannot be reached by just stretching out one's hand.
There are some things that look very close, but are actually very, very, very far away.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tianxiong felt a little regretful. If he had known better, why would he do it in the first place?
If he had had more children, he wouldn't have to be so anxious now.
Looking back now, there is really not much conflict between having children and working on your career. No matter how busy you are, you should always have this little time.
Because of this, even if Jiang Yu was really bad at practicing martial arts, Jiang Tianxiong would rarely beat or scold his children, because he knew that all his faults came from himself.
It's just that even if parents don't say it out loud, their children can still feel it.
Every time Jiang Yu found out that his father had watched him practice martial arts, he would sigh, forget it once or twice, it would happen every time. Jiang Yu was not a fool.
To use a now fashionable saying, "Parents' anxiety is a curse to their children."
Speaking of this, Jiang Tianxiong has been disappointed. Isn't Jiang Yu desperate?
He also wanted to be as tall and powerful as his father, he also wanted to be as strong as ever, and he also wanted to be able to make his father retire with a smile and enjoy his old age.
Jiang Yu desperately wanted to get his father's approval, even just once.
But he can't do it, even if he tries his best, he can't do it!
Jiang Yu, who has been in the alternation of disappointment and despair since childhood, spends all day thinking about "Why me?" "Why am I here?" and "Is it me who is here, or am I the only one who is here?"
The ultimate philosophy for torture and collapse.
When Jiang Yu was fourteen years old, he accidentally heard the Zen master of Baima Temple giving a lecture. He listened for a while and became fascinated.
It turns out that the Buddha had already described all my various sufferings one by one.
From then on, Jiang Yu was obsessed with Buddhism and couldn't help himself. If the Jiang family didn't need him to spread the incense, Jiang Yu might have become a monk long ago.
So, since Jiang Yu believes in Buddhism, he must be a very kind and compassionate person.
Neither is this.
Jiang Yu was addicted to Buddhism just to solve his pain, but from a nature point of view, Buddhism was just a tool he needed, not the path he wanted to take.
I have seen Jiang Yu's terrifying abilities before I knew it.
…
This was still in May, when there was a major epidemic in Jiangbei, and the prices of medicinal materials in Luoyang City skyrocketed.
Originally, Shennong Baicaomen had been insisting on selling cheap medicines, and the people of Luoyang didn't realize how bad things were. However, after the government forced the purchase of all the elixirs and medicinal materials in Luoyang, Shennong Baicaomen also closed down.
Overnight, drug prices in Luoyang increased by 30%. In the afternoon, they increased by another 20%. After that, drug prices skyrocketed.
Some people have said that due to the epidemic, the price of related drugs will rise, so why are all drugs soaring?
This involves people's panic and hoarding psychology.
For anything, whenever these two psychology meet at the same time, there will inevitably be skyrocketing prices and market shortages, and then skyrocketing prices and market shortages will further intensify panic and hoarding.
This is an endless cycle unless it is broken by external force.
I was walking on the street in Weiming that day when I happened to see an out-of-town merchant charging usury from a Luoyang citizen. After asking, it turned out that it was the common man who bought some medicine from the out-of-town merchant.
This merchant also sells medicine. The price of the first medicine he sold was slightly lower, and the price of the second and third medicines increased a little more each time. In the end, the family owed a lot of money for the medicine.
Just when everyone was quarreling, Jiang Yu squeezed over with a smile and told the merchant that he would pay the money.
The merchant didn't know Jiang Yu either. When he saw a clean and neatly dressed child, he said, "Do you have 2,000 coins?"
Jiang Yu smiled and took out a small piece of broken silver from his bag and handed it to the merchant. The merchant was very happy.
The merchant thought he had met a stupid kid from a rich family who had a lot of money and didn't understand the world.
Jiang Yu then asked the merchants to follow him home so that he could get money to pay the merchants.
Jiang Yu then left with the merchants, and the others dispersed as well. Wu Ming saw that this was something strange, so he secretly followed him.
Jiang Yu took the merchant to a dense forest and beat him severely. The tall merchant did not expect that this little kid could be so powerful. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Later, Jiang Yu revealed his identity, and the merchants realized that they had hit an iron plate today.
Jiang Yu forced the merchant to write a blood-written IOU of 200 taels of silver, and then gave him three days to pay him.
The Jiang family had a close relationship with the Luoyang government, and would report people to the government for arrests without paying them. Jiang Yu also warned the merchants that if they dared to escape secretly, they would be beware of being killed by robbers along the way.
The merchant left with a bruised nose and swollen face with a smile on his face, leaving Jiang Yu alone in the dense forest.
"Brother Dongfang, do you think I did something wrong in this matter?" Jiang Yu suddenly said this, not knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Wei Ming walked out from behind the tree with some embarrassment. He said: "Brother Jiang Yu, you did the right thing in this matter. I just don't understand something."
Wei Ming was a straightforward person, so he said to Jiang Yu bluntly: "Jiang Yu, you can either beat that man or take back your money. Why did you let that man write down 200 taels of silver?"
IOU.
Isn’t this blackmail?”
Unknown to him, he knew that these 200 taels of silver were not a small amount, enough to bankrupt most merchants.
Wei Ming was able to face Jiang Yu and point out his doubts to him. Instead of being unhappy, Jiang Yu felt happy.
After being exposed to too much intrigue, Jiang Yu appreciates straightforward people like Weiming even more.
Jiang Yu said to Weiming: "Brother Dongfang, let me ask you. If I just beat that man, take back my money, and let him go, will he deeply understand the lesson of this time?"
This sentence stopped Wei Ming from asking. After holding it back for a while, he answered honestly: "No."
"That's right." Jiang Yu smiled at Weiming and said, "To deal with demons and ghosts, Buddha still has the anger of King Kong.
These profiteers must be punished and taught an unforgettable lesson.
And this person is obviously a greedy person.
The small piece of silver I gave him in the city just now was obviously enough to pay for his medicine, but in the end, he actually dared to follow a strange child into the dense forest for the 2,000 dollars he talked about casually.
I guess this person just thinks that he can beat me in terms of force. If I dare to cheat, I will be the one who suffers.
From the very beginning, he never thought about being nice to me, so I followed his thoughts and used his method to deal with himself. Isn't it extremely appropriate?"
Weiming sighed and nodded.
He still understands the truth, but he doesn't like this method of using conspiracy to counter conspiracy.
If you act chivalrously and do justice, shouldn't you be able to do it openly?
Obviously, if this matter is done openly, the effect may not be as good as Jiang Yu's.
"Does the kind of chivalry I pursue exist in this world?"
Wei Ming is a little confused.
Jiang Yu saw Weiming who was deeply confused, smiled at him again and left.
For some reason, Jiang Yu suddenly found that he enjoyed the current feeling.
So, what does this feel like?
Jiang Yu also fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Jiang Yu figured it out. This was the first time I used my intelligence to crush others.
It turns out that outsmarting someone feels so good.
It turns out that my talent lies in my brain.
I just received a message saying that starting from Sunday, this book will get a second chance to be recommended.
I took a look and found that some of the books recommended in the same period had already been cut...
Regarding the cakes drawn in this book, you should have noticed that this is a story about a group of heroes, so there are many scenes where the protagonist is not present.
However, the roles of these supporting characters never deviate from the main plot.
All stories are connected in a series.
The stage is large enough for the protagonist to jump up, down, left, and right repeatedly.
