Chapter 28: List
Chang County, Tan Mansion.
The head of the family, Tan Yunnan, who had been away for two months, returned. The Tan family led a large group of people to greet them with the eldest daughter Tan Zhiyao.
Tan Yunnan seemed a little anxious, and he had lost his past slightness and behavior. He had lost his cultivation. Others could not see it, but Tan Zhiyao could see it.
From the beginning of entering the door, Tan Zhiyao felt confused and puzzled. She kept holding on. After arriving at Tan Yunnan's study, she asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Tan Yunnan kept flipping through books on the bookshelf, a little rushed, and did not answer Tan Zhiyao's words.
Tan Zhiyao walked to Tan Yunnan and said gently: "Dad, what book are you looking for? Tell me, I'll help you find it!"
"Finished, found!"
Tan Yunnan suddenly took out a yellowed ancient book from a dark box on the bookshelf and carefully flipped through the book. It was actually hollowed out and a black iron token was inlaid.
Tan Yunnan gently took out the black iron token, with a very serious expression, and handed it to Tan Zhiyao solemnly, and said, "Yao'er, you will take this token to Cangxi Mansion tomorrow morning, go to Xiaonan Lane, Lingnan Town, and hand it over to the only blacksmith there."
Tan Zhiyao asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you doing? What happened?"
Tan Yunnan took a deep breath and said, "This token was an opportunity that I got when I first met you Uncle Zheng twenty years ago. At that time, we were both young and met someone who was chased to kill a child. At that time, we were both young and frivolous, so we took action with mercy!"
"I later found out that the child was very big. He was born from the marriage of two hidden families in the 100,000 mountains. The two hidden families, one is the famous Yanhu in Qingyang County, and the other is the Qingyun Sect of Cangxi Prefecture."
"It was then that Uncle Zheng and I got the opportunity. He was guided by the masters of famous Yanhu and founded Luofeng Mountain. I got the guidance of the masters of Qingyun Sect and then successfully entered the Jixia Academy, otherwise I would not have the chance to join Mr. Qi."
"However, because your uncle Zheng and I are both talented and have not been able to learn any advanced practice methods, Qingyun Sect and Mingyanhu both felt that it was not enough to repay our kindness, so they gave us two tokens, promising that as long as our descendants took the token to find them, they could give them the identity of a personal disciple."
The Hidden Sect is not very famous for the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, as the eldest lady of the Tan family, Tan Zhiyao knew some secrets. The Hundred Thousand Mountains area was connected to several excessively. It seemed that it was controlled by those hamlets known as 100,000 bandits. In fact, the Thirteen Hidden Sects were the Hidden Sects that really controlled the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
If the Tan family is a big family in Heju County, it has a very big statement, but compared with the Hidden Gate, it is like the difference between a sparrow and a swan.
Taking the Jizhou of Wei as a metaphor, even people from major families hope to send disciples from the clan into these hidden sects, because these hidden sects are real sects of practice and control unpredictable resources in their hands.
However, the Hidden Sect has always been unconventional in its actions, and rarely recruits disciples publicly. It is extremely rare for a family like the Tan family to get a quota for entering the Hidden Sect, let alone a personal disciple.
Tan Zhiyao looked at the token in her hand and said in confusion: "Dad, why haven't you heard you say it before?"
Tan Yunnan sighed and said, "In the past, that was because I didn't want you to embark on the path of cultivation. My father hoped that you could grow up ordinary and get married and get married."
"But now, no more," Tan Yunnan continued: "Dad may have done something wrong. I must give you your own foundation."
Tan Zhiyao realized that it must be Tan Yunnan who had left with the so-called nobleman. She hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Tan Yunnan sighed and said, "I met a madman. I don't know why Mr. Guiren let such a yellow-haired boy do whatever he wants. He is so heartbroken that he actually planned the entire 100,000 mountain in one breath. I don't know how many people will die!"
"Dad, what's going on?" Tan Zhiyao said even more anxiously: "Dad, if something really happens, we'll just not be with them."
"It's too late," Tan Yunnan looked at Tan Zhiyao and said seriously: "Yao'er, remember, after going to Qingyun Sect, I will work hard to practice and strive to become a great practitioner as soon as possible. In the future... forget it, let's talk about the future things in the future!"
"father……"
"Don't say it, just follow my father's arrangements. I'll go to Cangxi Mansion tomorrow morning!"
Tan Yunnan did not explain too much to Tan Zhiyao, so he let Tan Zhiyao leave.
After a long time, Tan Yunnan slowly stood up and whispered: "Ji Yi, Ji Ziyan, are you trying to make the 100,000 mountains of blood flow into a river?"
"Yao'er... Dad, I'm sorry to you!"
…………
In March, peach blossoms are everywhere.
After descending from Luofeng Mountain, Jiang Mu walked northward until the peach blossoms went from slightly moistening buds to full bloom.
Outside a small town, a young man in plain clothes walked in slowly with a horse. The young man wore a sword on his waist and threw a bag on his back. He walked very slowly, and some fresh blood could be seen on the soles of his shoes.
This young man was Jiang Mu who left Luofeng Mountain half a month ago.
The direction he set was Liang State, which was the closest country to the 100,000 mountains besides Wei State. It was also the country with the most stable national conditions after careful analysis.
In the State of Wei, he would definitely not be able to stay, and he was unwilling to become a bandit in the 100,000 mountains. He could only find a country with relatively stable situations, and then settled it first and sought development.
However, he underestimated the chaos of the 100,000 mountains. When he left Luofeng Mountain, he refused Zheng Sandao's proposal to send someone to escort.
In just over a dozen days, he encountered a horse thief robbery that was no less than ten times. He just met several thieves who wanted to kill and make money less than ten miles outside the town. This is why there were fresh blood on his shoes.
I came to an inn, found an empty table, and ordered a bowl of noodles.
As soon as I sat down, I heard someone talking next to me.
"I heard that, the legendary Xue Ruyi appeared in Tingfeng Village!"
"Yes, yes, it is said that the leader of the Tingfeng Village killed more than 200 people who wanted to steal the blood and Ruyi in Sanchuankou, and it was so dark that it was like a sky and a sky was dark."
"This matter has long been outdated. Zhang Xiu, the leader of Tingfengzhaizhai, was also listed on the blacklist because of this battle, ranking 13th!"
"Thirteenth place, so high? I would have been on this blacklist one day!"
"What do you want to eat?"
“…”
Jiang Mu sat aside, listened to the discussions of the people on the next table, and frowned tightly.
Along the way, he discovered a big problem.
After Xue Ruyi suddenly appeared in the 100,000 mountains, the 100,000 mountains began to become chaotic, and there were chaos everywhere. Soon after, a series of lists appeared inexplicably.
For example, the blacklist that those people just talked about is a list that is positioned at the level of all people in the mountains with their record of 100,000. At the beginning, all the records were recorded, but now there have been cases where people come to challenge the list for their reputation.
In addition to this black list, there are other world-class magnitudes that are ranked by their reputation for force, and others, such as the rouge list, which lists 100,000 beautiful women in the mountains.
After this list came out, many counterfeit horse thieves went down the mountain to rob the beauties on the list. There were countless battles, and they provided clear goals for those thieves.
There is also the so-called rich list, which lists a large number of rich people, etc., and various lists are emerging one after another.
