No matter in the past dynasties, horses are not something ordinary people can afford to raise, because even a horse used to pull a cart is not cheap, not to mention that the horse needs to eat a lot of fodder every day! The most important thing is that in many countries, the price of a horse is not cheap.
Under normal circumstances, horses can pull more things than donkeys and mules, but they are far inferior in other aspects. Therefore, most ordinary people choose to keep donkeys or mules at home, which can meet their daily needs.
As for those high-quality riding horses, the price has skyrocketed several times, because most of the riding horses are given priority to the cavalry. Therefore, when many dynasties were first established, most of the civil and military officials rode on ox carts.
Go to court.
And in the world of martial arts modules, it is even harder to find a BMW, because these days, anyone with a bit of fame will start to prepare a three-piece hero suit for themselves - magic weapons, precious armor and good horses.
Of course, most people in the world who are not very well-off have gritted their teeth and bought a weapon forged by a famous artist. The defense is not bad, and the most important thing is that it can be worn under soft armor or cloth armor without affecting one's demeanor.
There is not much budget left for the good horse. After all, the first two are related to the family's wealth and life, and the good horse is just for appearance.
Isn't a good horse important? Of course not! Because if you are active locally, everyone knows your background, so they will call you a hero, but if you go on a business trip to a place you are unfamiliar with, then there is no such thing.
If you have a good horse with you, others will not regard you as a hero, and may even think that you are just an ordinary person cosplaying as a hero.
Yes, in this martial arts module, because the Tiandao Sect supported the new Dragon Emperor and had the power to obey the dragon, although the current martial arts people in the Silver Dragon Empire are subject to certain restrictions, their social status is still very high.
, so ordinary people yearn to join various sects and become heroes! However, due to the restrictions of the sect, most people cannot even become a temporary disciple... So, in order to satisfy their dreams, some people obtain
With the envy of others, I started to cosplay like a hero, that is, get some nice clothes, and buy a fake sword that looks good but is actually made of wood and hangs on my waist.
So if you want to show that you are a hero in front of outsiders, the best way is to ride a tall horse.
However, such a horse is very valuable, so now many horse farms have launched horse sharing and horse loan services for disciples of some well-known sects. You can choose to rent a horse when you travel far away, or you can
Find a respected senior in the sect to vouch for you, so that you can buy a good horse in installments! The most important thing is that if you go further in the future and want to change to a better horse, you can also trade in the old horse for a new one, or exchange the old horse for a new one.
Lease to horse farm.
One thing to say, when recalling these memories, Liu Xing can only say that the world of this martial arts module is too real, and even the middle-class traps of the martial arts version have appeared.
"Three horses, judging from the sound of hoofbeats, they should all be pretty good horses."
Ding Kun said seriously: "I used to go to an uncle's house to play, and his family had several horses, so I also have some research on the sound of horse hooves."
Sure enough, within a few seconds, three horses rushed into the ruined temple, because the main entrance of the ruined temple had long been used to chop wood for fire.
Seeing someone in the ruined temple, the three middle-aged men on horseback dismounted, clasped their fists and nodded at Liu Xing and others, then took a package from the horse and ran to change clothes.
"These three horses all look pretty good, at least better than the horses at my uncle's house. Moreover, the three middle-aged men also seem to have a heroic temperament, but they don't seem to be carrying them with them.
weapon?"
Ding Kun put down the bow and arrow in his hand and continued: "They don't look like bad people, so we don't need to worry too much."
"Yes, but we must be on guard against others. Although they don't seem to be a threat to us, there is no guarantee that these people have bad tempers and will attack if they disagree. After all, they are armed with sharp weapons and have a murderous intention.
"As for these people not carrying weapons, it may be that the sect they belong to is good at leg and foot capture, so there is no need to bring swords and clubs." Yin En said with a frown.
At this moment, the three people had also changed their clothes and carried some hay and wooden boards that they got from somewhere.
"Little brothers, we would like to light a fire to warm ourselves up, you wouldn't mind, right?"
A very kind-looking man said: "It's almost dark now, and it's hard to walk with such heavy rain, so it's time to light a bonfire."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you don't come, we are already preparing to light a bonfire to spend the night. After all, there may be some snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this ruined temple. If you don't light a bonfire for lighting,
If so, something might crawl on us in the middle of the night."
As Liu Xing spoke, he took out a fire folder from his pocket and quickly lit the bonfire in front of him.
Seeing that Liu Xing was so easy to talk to, the three people across from him relaxed a little.
"My name is Zhang Ran, and these two are my junior brothers - Zhang Xin and Zhang Yu. This time we are going to Heshan County to do something, so I think the clothes you are wearing and the things you are carrying should be from Heshan County.
Are you a local from the county? After all, there is no village in front of this ruined temple or a store in the back. If you are a passerby, it is impossible not to bring a package, so you should be going somewhere nearby today, and in the end you stayed here because of the heavy rain.
?”
Liu Xing looked at Zhang Ran a little surprised, because he didn't expect that he could analyze so many things in such a short time.
But the most important thing is that Zhang Ranyou mentioned that the remaining two people are his junior brothers, which means that they are indeed martial arts people.
Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Zhang Jingxu suddenly said: "Well, brothers, you should be from the Zhang family in Boyang, right? I remember that there was a Zhang family in Boyang City that only accepted disciples named Zhang, and you also came from Bo.
You came from the direction of Yangcheng! And the Zhang family teaches only boxing and kicking kung fu, so you didn’t bring any weapons when you went out?"
Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingxu with some surprise, nodded and said: "Little brother, you actually know our Zhangjiamen? You know, even the locals in Boyang City who have been there for decades may not know us! Because just like you, little brother
As you said, after our master decided to only recruit people named Zhang as his disciples, the sect began to deteriorate from generation to generation. Up to now, we have no more disciples than two hands! And the three of us are still
We have even recruited disciples."
Zhang Jingxu smiled, pointed at himself and said: "Actually, my surname is Zhang, so my master made a joke with me before, saying that if I hadn't been spotted by him in advance, I might be able to join Zhang Jingxu where all the eldest brothers are.
Where is the door?"
"Oh, I see, it's really a pleasure to meet you. So, little brother, which sect do you come from?" Zhang Yu asked.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu brought up his acting skills instantly and said with a sad expression: "I think the three brothers Zhang should still remember that there is a sect that has become history near your sect, right? That's right.
, I was the only outer disciple who escaped the disaster back then."
Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Zhang Ran and the three of them all sighed in unison.
"I didn't expect to meet the only descendant of Tianfu Sect here... If nothing else, your master and I should still be good friends, because our two families have communicated even though we were separated.
, so we have a good relationship in private. If we have nothing to do, we will go to the city together and go shopping... Ahem, in short, if I guessed correctly, little brother, your master should be named Ye Feng, right? He had a relationship with her once before
When I was drinking, I told him that he had found a good young man in Heshan County, and this good young man was named Zhang, so he asked us to give him five hundred taels of silver, so that he would take this good young man.
Give it to us." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Yu's words made Liu Xing feel helpless to complain, because as a person who has read novels for more than ten years at some point, Liu Xing remembered that "Ye Feng" should be regarded as the most common protagonist name in early online novels.
He will be an important supporting role, so you can meet "Ye Feng" after reading a few books.
It's a pity that Zhang Jingxu's master doesn't have a certain protagonist's name, so he was gone even before the game started.
Also, these five hundred taels of silver are not a small amount of money, because "Liu Peng's" family can save about one hundred taels in a year. You must know that this pharmacy business was very profitable even in ancient times.
"Ah, I didn't expect that you actually know my master! Yes, my master is Ye Feng, the tall and thin Ye Feng." Zhang Jingxu nodded quickly and said.
When Zhang Ran and the other three heard what Zhang Jingxu said, they sighed again.
"Well, if we hadn't listened to the noise back then and realized something was wrong after the Tianfu Sect caught fire, we might have been able to save your master, because when we ran over to help, your master was actually still breathing
, it’s a pity that your master only said a few words, so we also wanted to avenge your master and the Tianfu Sect, but in the end we really couldn’t find who the enemy was! And to be honest, your Tianfu Sect
The enemies they provoked were also a bunch of ruthless people. Before setting the fire, they stabbed those injured accomplices who were unable to escape, and also used sulfuric acid to disfigure them all."
Zhang Ran sighed again and continued: "So after we checked, we found that these bastards may come from the seaside, because their skin is rough and dark, and there are clear marks on their palms.
There was a thick layer of scab, and it looked like they had pulled fishing nets before! The most important thing is that these people also left some weapons, including harpoons and darts with strings, which are commonly used fishing tools by people on the beach.
.”
Liu Xing frowned again, because Liu Xing still remembered that when he was in the Heshan County module, he heard that the prince who controlled this area was related to a sect on the seaside, so the collapse of Fu Zong today was also related to this
Is it related to the sect?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly winked at Zhang Jingxu, and Zhang Jingxu also understood and said: "I think the three characters mentioned by my master should refer to a way of writing numbers in Tianzhu, because my master used to
I have a good relationship with a businessman from Tianzhu, so I know some things about Tianzhu."
As Zhang Jingxu spoke, he picked up a wooden stick and wrote "3" on the ground.
"You're talking about Apara, right? The quality of the spices that guy sells is indeed good. It's just that he likes to take advantage of small things. But he is also very generous when things happen. For example, after the accident in your Tianfu Sect, Ah
Apala paid a sum of money to settle the affairs of your master and others, and he still goes to worship your master with us every year! But this year Apala is not in good health, so he is packing his things and preparing to return to his hometown.
, after all, fallen leaves must return to their roots.”
Speaking of this, Liu Xing noticed that the eyes of Zhang Ran and others were a little moist. It seemed that their relationship with Tianfu Sect was really good.
"Is there still such a thing? Then I want to get rid of Uncle Zhang. After you go back, if Uncle Apala has not returned to Tianzhu, then say thank you to him on my behalf."
Zhang Jingxu started building relationships without hesitation and directly changed the title of "Brother Zhang" to "Uncle Zhang".
"No problem, we are going to hold a practice banquet for Apala when we go back this time. If you are free then, you can go back with us! And if you are willing, you can also directly join our Zhangjiamen! Although
Our Zhangjiamen is not well-known now, but we still have people with real talents and skills. If you can find your enemies by then, we can legitimately help you avenge them!"
At this time, Liu Xing found that the expressions of Zhang Ran and the others looking at Zhang Jingxu had become a little strange.
Of course, Liu Xing can actually understand the thoughts of Zhang Ran and the others, because they have mentioned before that they have not accepted any disciples yet! You must know that in a sect, the number and quality of disciples represent the master's success.
The status and strength among the brothers of the same generation.
What's more, in this world of martial arts modules, small sects like Zhangjiamen only have one official disciple quota every year, so who should be given the opportunity to recruit disciples, firstly, it depends on the talents of those outer disciples, and secondly.
It is to see who is the disciple of these outer disciples with similar talents.
Therefore, unless they are those masters who live in peace with the world, everyone else must want their outer disciples to become full-time disciples.
Therefore, as Zhang Ran and the others are good friends of Master Zhang Jingxu, they should also know how talented Zhang Jingxu was when he was about to become an official disciple!
This is a talent worth five hundred taels of silver!
