Chapter 50: The Rise of the Outsiders (Part 1)
Second update.
——…—
"I'm not afraid of them late." Fu Jingyang said in a deep voice, with no expression on his face, "I don't want to see the corpses of my brothers."
"Why am I willing!" Fu Jingshui continued, his voice slightly higher, "But what choice do you and I have except 'them'?"
"What a pity Bu Chen..." Fu Jingyang sighed.
"Yes." Fu Jingshui nodded and sighed, "I originally wanted to marry my daughter to him... After all, 'that thing' is more important!"
"They" and "that thing" are obviously two things that are very fearful innate. They are unwilling to mention them in such a secret occasion, and only talk in their own clear words.
The two of them were talking in a low voice when they suddenly saw a faint cloud of ghost fire floating on the distant river.
"Here you come." Fu Jingyang's voice became heavier, "Silence."
Fu Jingshui stopped talking, but only two thick eyebrows frowned fiercely, then suppressed her mood, and there was no expression on her cheeks again.
The ghost fire slowly floated, and gradually reflected a dark river boat in the vision of the innate masters.
This ship is a standard Dongsha Bang River boat style, which can carry twenty people and is a medium-sized passenger ship. However, on the dark river surface in the middle of the night, the passenger ship did not have a single light, only a few gloomy ghost fires, hovering around the passenger ship.
No sound was heard on the boat, and even the sound of the waves breaking through the river disappeared, only the few groups of ghost fires flew silently.
This boat seemed not a ship, but a ship-shaped coffin, which slowly drove on the water with the power of an unknown demon.
Fu Jingyang and Fu Jingshui felt at the same time. They knew that the scene they didn't want to see was still there. But neither of them spoke.
Just as they said before: Now that things have come to this point, there is no other choice.
The ghost ship slowly approached the dock, and the ghost fire suddenly flew into the cabin and disappeared. The black air covering the hull slowly disappeared. The dim light that could be adjusted on the dock illuminated the passenger ship.
There was no one on the deck, silent. In the silence, a storm of cold wind pushed open the hatch door, making an unpleasant creaking of rotten wood, and two black-robed Taoist priests walked out of them, one old and one young.
The old Taoist face walking in front was piled up with wrinkles, and the cheeks were covered with strange green patterns. The pale beard under the jaw was indescribably gloomy and evil.
The young Taoist, who was one step behind, had a dark face, no beard under his jaw, and his face was covered with blood-colored patterns, as if an evil spirit was still alive.
Needless to ask, these are two evil monks.
Fu Jingyang did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately put his fists on his face and said, "Dongsha helps Fu Jingyang, Fu Jingshui welcomes the two immortal masters. May the two immortal masters enjoy the immortal blessings forever and live with the heavens."
"Hehehe..." The old Taoist priest let out a gloomy and ugly laugh, "You mortals are all kinds of things, and they can greet each other when they meet... Shou and Tianqi? Hehe... that's impossible! As long as you can live for another hundred or two years, I will be content with the old Taoist..."
The young Taoist priest said in a low and weird voice: "You can save nonsense. The crew members you sent have been wasting a lot of time on the road and were punished by the master. I think you won't mind if you come here! Well... They are too obedient now, do you still want to see?"
Fu Jingyang was prepared in his heart, so his expression did not change at all. He responded in a deep voice: "Since it was the immortal master who took action, we naturally had no objection. Everything was as intended by the immortal master. It would be meaningless to us if we took a look at it more. There are so many people here, so please ask two immortal masters to get on the bus."
The two Taoist priests didn't like nonsense, so the four of them got on the carriage and quickly turned back to the Dongsha Gang stronghold.
The evil monk was placed in the courtyard closest to the back mountain at the stronghold. This place was not a good location, but no matter how the two of them entered and exited, they would not be discovered.
Secret is the greatest benefit.
It was late at night and there was no one around.
The young Taoist priest finally couldn't help it and asked the old Taoist priest: "Master, how could the Jade Emperor Temple spread news to us?"
"There are so many twists and turns in the Central Plains people? How can that be said... the enemy's enemies are friends. They are afraid of King Shangwu and are inconvenient to do it themselves. It is natural for them to send us the news." The old Taoist priest replied half-closed.
"Hehehe...The inheritance of King Shangwu... How could the old Taoist not be moved by this..."
It turned out that the Jade Emperor Temple had already made a breakthrough. This son fell directly outside the room.
——…—
The strange scene in Jiangbei at night was not discovered by anyone.
Jianchuan City ushered in a new day.
This day is July 12th.
The Fenghuo Forging door was full of joy early in the morning.
Today is the day for Fenghuobao to move.
Fenghuobao is a small workshop. It was founded by Duan Heihu's grandfather. It has been passed down for decades, but it has not been able to change to a spacious place. Today, I finally got what I wanted, and moved to the famous Iron Yifang original site, which doubled its sense of accomplishment.
From then on, Fenghuo Forge will have two stores at the same time, spanning this street, and the momentum will be very different when it reopens.
Just as the morning was over, the sword-casting masters who were forging wind and fire were already busy, and they each carried small packages and moved them to the original site of the Tieyifang opposite.
This move immediately attracted the attention of neighbors and the scene immediately became lively.
After a moment, Bu Chen arrived after hearing the news, and several Dongsha Gang members were also following him to help.
It's said it's help, but there is actually not much work to do.
Just move across the street, just move the general supplies and utensils, and many details can be cleaned in the future. In order to show goodwill, the Han family has been cleaning the Tieyifang for a while, and has redecorated many dilapidated areas, just waiting for the wind and fire to move in.
The moving work is completed quickly.
As soon as Chen Hou arrived, Duan Heihu led all the blacksmiths to start the most important work: lighting the iron smelting furnace in the Iron Yifang. This is a ceremony, which represents a new beginning for wind and fire forging.
Not to mention the chaos and excitement, just talk about Yan Li.
For Yan Li, today is a revisiting the old place.
He was extremely familiar with every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree in the Iron Yifang. Since he was twelve years old, he has been serving as a servant here.
I was bullied in the past, but I am a human being in my three lives. The mystery of the changes in my mind cannot be understood without personal experience.
If you use the Book of Changes to describe the Yan Li in the past, it can probably be said to be a manifestation of the fate of the worst.
The illegitimate son of the illegitimate son has no father since childhood and has been bullied, and is extremely humble. When his biological mother dies, he is also threatened and beaten by the fifth wife of the Han family. His life is hanging on the line. It can be said that fate has reached an extreme point.
As the saying goes, things will turn back when extremes come to their limits. When the ultimate fate reaches its limit, there will be a thread of secrets that will allow it to develop in reverse. So there is a great opportunity for Yan Li to awaken her memories of her previous life and to relive the insights of seeking the Tao.
Of course, if Yan Li had not had the profound cultivation level in his previous life, even if he had the destiny of being at the best of his might, he would not have been awakened. Such a situation would only make people sigh at the wonders of fate.
In the iron-yifang, the small straw hut where Yan Li originally lived with others has disappeared, and it should have been deliberately done by the Han family. Now Yan Li's courtyard is the largest and most elegant and luxurious one in the interior, but it is not the main courtyard.
This is also a matter of course.
Many sword casting workshops have similar settings, using the most luxurious residence to worship the masters. Their own masters live in the main courtyard with a slightly less luxurious level.
In fact, many martial arts families and sects in the martial arts world are similar. The head of the family must be the main courtyard, but it may not be the best, because there may be one or several innate ancestors on the head of the family!
In addition to the spacious main hall and comfortable bedroom, Yan Li's new residence also has a study, sword room, pharmacy, and front and back courtyards. In terms of scale, it is all more than a top-notch family.
It can be seen that the Han family has spent a lot of effort on this.
Yan Li had no body, no things to move, and no one dared to let Master Yan do a hard worker. So among all, he was the most leisurely. He took Guiyun and walked all the way to his yard.
Han Xi was already waiting at the gate.
"Uncle Li, are you satisfied with these arrangements?" Han Xi asked with a smile while leading Yan Li.
"As far as you are, you are several years older than me. Although you are really young, Han Lin has never heard of this 'Uncle' before." Yan Li said casually.
"Of course. Han Lin is a thing!" Han Xi said seriously, "To be honest, I was not very happy when I heard the ancestor's arrangement. But now, I was convinced and felt that it was a lot of cheap - not to mention my nephew, even Master Yan, you shouted to take your son, and those who came could line up to Jiangbei..."
Yan Li turned her head to look at him. This is the best young man in the fifth generation of the Han family, looking hippie and smiling, and there is no sign of embarrassment at all.
"Actually, I don't care about seniority." Yan Li said, "Sometimes, if you do too much unwilling things, you will forget what you originally wanted to do."
Han Xi was stunned, then bowed and bowed and said, "Uncle Li has something to say, I respectfully understand the teachings!"
"There is no teaching, there is a errand running." Yan Li changed the topic, "calculate the time, the person who gave gifts from Hengjiang is also here, so you can help me run this trip. If the person is carried, let him in. If it is coming, even the person will be driven away with the gifts."
"Yes, my nephew will do it now."
After seeing Han Xi off, Yan Li and Gui Yun sat down at the stone table in the front yard, leisurely brewed a pot of tea, and waited for a while to come.
There are many preparations in front of it, and it is finally time to make a formal move.
When Yan Li leisurely drank the first cup of tea, footsteps came from outside the yard.
Under Han Xi's leadership, the two Han family members walked in with a pair of stretchers.
On the stretcher, Du Hong was lying in blood.
At this time, Du Hong no longer looked like a heroic young man of the past. His handsome face was pale, his lips were blue, and there were a few more blisters on the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he was injured and was furious.
Han Xi directed two servants to carry Du Hong to Yan Li and asked them to leave. He stood behind Yan Li very consciously and looked respectfully as a junior.
Yan Li didn't answer, and still savored tea and watched Du Hong's performance quietly.
Du Hong was seriously injured by Zou Tong yesterday. If he took off his clothes and tied up his thorns, he would be accusing him of carrying the thorns and a punishment was ready.
In order not to be taken off half naked, he tied the zongzi with thorns and was dragged to forge all the way, he gritted his teeth and signed many unequal treaties with Zou Tong, so he became anxious overnight. Today, not only did the internal injuries not improve at all, but there were several more blisters on the corners of his mouth.
Since he was carried to the main owner, Du Hong also understood that he would just slash his head and retract his head. No matter how he could not avoid this, he would still apologize and let the unlucky days pass as soon as possible!
As soon as he moved, he felt that there was nothing in his body that was not painful. He struggled to get up and knelt tremblingly in front of Yan Li - it was not that he wanted to kneel, but that he really didn't have the strength to stand up.
"Master Yan!" Du Hong panted and burst into tears, "Du Hong already knew his mistake, from now on..."
"Save it out of your mind if you don't want to do anything against your will." Yan Li put down the teacup and said calmly, "I only ask one question: Do you hate me?"
