Martial Arts: The opening reward is full-level magic

Chapter 138 Flood Dragon Blocking the River
There have been many legends about Sanhe Bay since ancient times.

Some people say that between the movement of the river and the balance of yin and yang, there is a huge vortex, and the vortex reaches the bottom of the deepest river, hiding a dragon king Beppu.

Empress Yushui lives in the mansion.

As for the identity of Empress Yushui, there are different opinions.

Some people say that this is the daughter of the Sea Dragon King, who is in charge of the waters of the three rivers, so Beppu was established here.

This statement is also basically recognized by the people living along the river.

However, there is another rumor that has been circulated behind the scenes, saying that Empress Yushui is actually the concubine of the Sea Dragon King, and she was not liked by the Dragon Queen, so she was sent here.

Although similar statements are not recognized by the public, they are widely circulated behind the scenes.

But this kind of legend must not be talked about on the boat, otherwise, if the boss of the boat throws it into the water to pay homage to Empress Yushui, then don't blame others.

After all, along both sides of the river, those who live on the boat worship this Yushui Empress.

Of course, for the Jianghu people, this is nothing more than a silly joke that cannot be taken seriously.

In contrast, more people study the movement and stillness of the water in the Sanhe Bay.

Some people use this to enter the martial arts, but they really gain something.

And hundreds of years ago, there was such a master. It is said that this person sat in Sanhe Bay for three years and nine months, and comprehended a set of internal strength and a set of fists and feet.

The balance between movement and stillness is very extraordinary.

With this martial art, he has made a lot of fame.

It's just that in the end, he was harmed by others, and all the knowledge he had learned was lost, and he was captured by other martial artists in sporadic ways.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun arrived at Sanhewan in the afternoon.

Yang Xiaoyun acted as an old horse who knew the way, and led Su Mo to an old shop in Sanshui to settle down.

The little second brother was greeting the guests, and saw Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo from a distance, and immediately explained a few words to the people around him, and came over:

"Isn't this the chief escort? You haven't been here for a while, no wonder the shopkeeper woke up this morning and said that there were magpies screaming on the eaves. It turned out that there was a distinguished guest."

While talking, he looked at Su Mo, then glanced behind the two of them, and was relieved to make sure that there was no large convoy.

Seeing that his expression was different, Yang Xiaoyun frowned lightly, but instead of asking in detail, he asked, "Is the shopkeeper there?"

"Yes, please come in quickly, both of you."

Immediately led two people into the inn.

In the lobby of the inn, the kung fu session was overcrowded, with groups of three or five sitting at the same table, some frowning hard, some sighing, and some frowning tightly, faintly murderous.

Behind the counter, the shopkeeper was flipping through the ledger, with both joy and sorrow on his face, as if he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest is here."

The second brother brought Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun to him and spoke in a low voice.

The shopkeeper frowned subconsciously, and was about to say something when he saw Yang Xiaoyun, and was taken aback for a moment:
"Young Chief Escort?"

"What's wrong with the shopkeeper?"

Yang Xiaoyun turned his head and glanced at the situation in the lobby: "This business is so good, the shopkeeper shouldn't be smiling, but now he looks sad and looks like he hasn't opened for half a month?"

"Hey……"

The shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it for now. Are there many people here for the young chief escort? All the guest rooms in my backyard are full..."

"Not much, just the two of us."

Yang Xiaoyun said: "Just give us a room."

"one?"

The shopkeeper subconsciously looked at Su Mo carefully after hearing the words, and then said with a smile: "One is okay, one is okay, it should be said that it is just right."

While speaking, he walked out from behind the counter, and asked the second brother to lead the two people's mounts to the backyard stables.

He took them upstairs himself.

And the guest rooms on the second floor are almost all full.

Although the doors are closed, most of them can be heard pacing in the room, seeming quite sad.

Occasionally, the guest room is not closed, but the guest is leaning against the railing on the second floor, sighing...

It wasn't until after leading Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun into a guest room that Yang Xiaoyun spoke:
"Shopkeeper, what's going on, why are these people so gloomy?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "Hey, to tell you the truth, something happened on the waterway. The Jiaolong Society didn't know what happened, and it suddenly opened up profitably on the waterway last night.

"In the past, the ships passing by were unimpeded after they were sorted out. But since last night, no matter whether it is a merchant ship or a ferry boat from our own family, as long as they reach the land of the Flood Dragon Society, they are all stopped.

"Not to mention the looting of all the goods, it was even more so that the ship was sunk.

"Three River Bay is an important waterway, where Jiaolong will occupy the place, and even guard the tributary of the water.

"In this way, who dares to go into the water easily?
"The caravans are all stopped at Sanhe Bay...

"For me, this matter was not bad at the beginning, and I could earn a few more days of money.

"However, these people's goods are in Sanhe Bay, and if they don't sell them for a long time, they will lose their money. If things go on like this, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get the money out of the store. This is naturally not a good thing for me.

"To tell you the truth, when the news came back last night, I didn't fall asleep all night."

When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

What Yang Xiaoyun heard was that his brows were furrowed: "The Flood Dragon Society...is Zhuge Changtian, right? In the past, I rarely dealt with this person.

"However, the Jiaolong Society is located in a special place, and has never been short of money. How can this big thief who went down the river tolerate him?"

Among other things, Jiaolong will be stuck in this place, what should those people go down to eat?
He cut them off and ate them all. If they couldn't eat them, they could only go to the Flood Dragon Club.

"Well, I'm a businessman, and I don't really know much about this aspect. I just heard that it seems that the upper reaches of the waterway have not been peaceful recently.

"It seems that a group of monks is coming, this group of monks is very vicious, they specialize in shaving people, and all the heads of the villages above the waterway are devastated by this.

"I'm afraid that these monks will find me, so I will escape into Buddhism...

"However, I think this news is exaggerated, no matter how you listen to it, it feels like a joke."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun's mouths twitched.

Master Hongyun is going to Sanhe Bay?

It came quite fast.

Such a sudden change in the Jiaolong Society, wouldn't it be related to Master Hongyun's itinerary?
"Then what are these people planning now?"

Su Mo thought of this, and asked, "The waterway is blocked, is there any other way?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Su Mo, forced a smile and said:
"Right now, there are several big companies trying to find a way to get some help from the Flood Dragon Club, but there is no news about it yet, so we can only wait for a few days to see.

"However, if this continues for ten days and a half months, then these firms will suffer heavy losses."

These people are all moving in large numbers, trapped in one place, eating what people eat, how can the loss be small?

"Well, thank you shopkeeper for your clarification."

Yang Xiaoyun cupped her fists.

"Where is it, your Jagged Escort Bureau has always taken good care of my small business, and what I said is not a secret, I can't thank you...

"However, if the head of the young escort wants to go east this trip, it may not be easy. I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days in Sanhe Bay."

"I understand."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, and the shopkeeper didn't say much right away, he just asked the kitchen to prepare some food and drink, then turned and went out.

After the shopkeeper left, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were relatively silent.

"Why is it so uneventful wherever we go..."

Yang Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief, somewhat helpless.

Su Mo shook his head: "It's not that we are not peaceful wherever we go, but that this world is not peaceful at all...so we will encounter trouble everywhere."

"That's true."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and said: "There are always storms in the rivers and lakes. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas, and the entanglement of interests is even more complicated and difficult to distinguish. It's just that the behavior of the Jiaolong Club this time is really unreal... What do you think we should do?" Is good?"

"Nowadays it is difficult to change the land route, and it takes too long to get around, and there is no way to get around this river.

"For the current plan, I'm afraid we can only stay in Sanhe Bay for two more days to see how the situation changes.

"If there are new changes in the Flood Dragon Society, we can go down the river, if it really doesn't work..."

Su Mo raised his brows slightly: "Then go to the Jiaolong Society to pay a visit and see what Zhuge Changtian is planning."

"Oh? You seldom have such radical thoughts."

Yang Xiaoyun was a little surprised.

"Otherwise, it's unthinkable."

Su Mo sighed: "If the usual way fails, then we can only retaliate with old fists."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement: "Although the escorts are always kind to others, they are only relying on their smiles. Obviously, they can't make money from all directions. After all, they rely on martial arts. If the ordinary way doesn't work, then naturally they can only rely on martial arts. say.

"The most convenient thing about our trip is that you and I can walk together. It's convenient to come and go... Otherwise, there are so many people in the Escort Bureau, it's really quite troublesome to stop here."

"Miss Xiaoyun, do you know anything about Zhuge Changtian?"

"I've heard a little bit about it, Dad once told me about this person...

"The Jiaolong Society has been entrenched on this river for more than a hundred years. It can be regarded as an ancestral business, and it is the third generation at Zhuge Changtian's side.

"The kung fu handed down by his family is quite mysterious, but he seldom makes a move.

"Although the practice in the past was plucking wild goose, it would not pull people to the bald spot.

"So down the Sanhe Bay waterway, the reputation is justified.

"I just don't know what's going on this time, did something happen in the Flood Dragon Society?"

"Um……"

Su Mo nodded slightly: "Let's stay calm first, and see how the situation changes next. Jiaolong will inevitably make enemies if they want to do business for a long time. If they want to do business for a long time, it will not last long."

So far, there is nothing to say about the Flood Dragon Association.

The two of them stayed in this Sanshui old shop that night, and after dinner, they went down to the lobby and sat for a while, hoping to see if they could hear any news.

However, most of them are gloomy and misty, and the opinions of various schools are mostly guesswork.

Some people are optimistic, thinking that the Jiaolong Society may be short of money, and if they want to eat a few more bites, they will naturally restore the smooth waterway.

But some people are pessimistic, thinking that this waterway will start to be troublesome from now on.

There are also people who say vividly what happened to the Jiaolong Society, there are noses and eyes, but there is a hammer here and a hammer here, and the statements are contradictory and cannot be justified.

All in all, there is everything to say, but there is not much useful news.

And for a few days in a row, this was almost always the case.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun wandered around the Sanhe Bay during the two days, occasionally seeing boats coming from the Ehe, Tongshui, and Henghe rivers. Because they knew they couldn't get through, they could only stay at the Sanhe Bay wharf.

If things go on like this, the pier probably won't be able to accommodate so many boats.

When there are too many people, there are also many disturbances, and the pier has not been very peaceful in the past two days.

Either there was friction on one side, or there was a dispute on the other side, and sometimes I saw people fighting in the street, and the fights were frantic.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were still at the Sanhewan Wharf, and met the women from Lengyue Palace that night.

They were obviously also looking for news, looking for a way to go to the East City.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun did not appear in front of them.

In the end, it was just a one-sided relationship, and he was obviously a little jealous of Su Mo's identity.

Although I don't know the reason for it, but there is nothing to say about this happening, so I simply avoid it.

It was not until the fourth day that Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun stayed in Sanhe Bay that different news came.

In the lobby of the Sanshui old store, it was also quite encouraging for a while.

"After all, the Yunyang Company is no small matter. The Flood Dragon Club has been arranged by them. They said that they can sail tonight, and when they pass by that place, they will let them go."

"However, once this precedent is established, the other family is now inquiring about how to do it, so that Jiaolong will be lenient."

"Is there any news to send back?"

"The asking price is expensive. A big company like Yunyang Company is fine for now. We small families may not be able to afford it. After a trip of business, all are thrown into the water. Losing money and making money is not worth the loss. "

"Then what should I do?"

"If it really doesn't work, why don't we find someone to stretch our heads, let's temporarily form a business alliance, and let someone manage it so that our group can pass?"

There was a lot of noise in the lobby, and everything was said for a while.

At this moment, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were leaning on the handrail on the second floor, listening silently.

There is still no news about whether something has changed in the Jiaolong Association.

On the wharf side, there were no less than five big companies docked.

The largest of them is Yunyang Company.

The big shopkeeper of Yunyang Company can be regarded as a man with good hands and eyes, and it is said that he has the Dongcheng faction as his background, which is very extraordinary.

If it is said that they negotiated with this Jiaolong Society, it would not be unusual to succeed.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun listened for a while, and after there was no new news, they turned back to the room to discuss.

Nowadays, if you want to take this waterway, there are nothing more than two methods.

The first is to borrow the convenience of the chamber of commerce and take a ride with the wind.

And this method is actually quite simple, often only need to spend a little bit of money to board the ship.

The other way is to go to the Flood Dragon Club in person and meet Zhuge Changtian for a while.

It's just... This is actually a last resort.

If they go there, it is very likely that they will have to fight. Su Mo and the others still have mandarin ducks on them, so if they start this conflict rashly, the result is unpredictable.

There is another section about the internal situation of the Jiaolong Society, which has not been clearly seen so far, which inevitably makes people feel uncertain.

The two discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to wait another day to see.

If the Jiaolong Society really opened up a passage under the situation of the iron chain across the river, as long as the Yunyang firm can pass, other firms may not be unable to pass.

Now that I have been waiting for the past few days, I simply hold back my temper and wait another night.

Therefore, after dinner, the two rested separately and waited for the news to come back the next day.

As a result...it didn't wait until the next morning.

That night, while Su Mo was sleeping soundly, he heard the sound of mountains being photographed in front of the inn.

The entire inn was brightly lit in just a moment.

At this time, few people in the entire inn could sleep well, and they were all waiting for the news from the waterway.

The second brother went over to open the door panel, and saw a person walking quickly into the inn.

Immediately, the shopkeepers of several shops went downstairs.

Seeing that person sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, he opened his mouth:
"Yunyang Company, it's gone!!!"

"Gone??"

"What do you mean by gone?"

"It's over?"

There will still be people who are taking chances.

But I heard the man shaking his head: "After the Yunyang Company arrived at the waters controlled by the Jiaolong Club, it was immediately stopped by the people of the Jiaolong Club. He also offered filial piety, but... before he could finish speaking, the water ghost had already started digging the boat.

"The water thieves from the Flood Dragon Club threw out their hooks one after another, and went directly to kill them.

"On the boat of the Yunyang Company, there was also a master of Southwest Wulin accompanying him to protect him, but after a single encounter, he had already become a dead soul underwater.

"In a massacre, the members of the Flood Dragon Society didn't have any scruples at all, and directly killed almost all the people on the ship.

"It's just that a few people have been captured, among them are the three shopkeepers as hostages, I don't know what they plan to do.

"It wasn't until they emptied the entire ship that the ship sank.

"My shopkeepers, I'm afraid this road is really going to be impossible!"

All shopkeepers were dumbfounded when they heard this.

"It's clear that it's ready... What's going on?"

"A scam, a scam! Could it be that they tricked this Yunyang firm to kill people and steal money?"

"Aren't they crazy? This is a bad rule, there is no such reason in the world."

"Bastards, if these bastards don't give us a way out, are we forcing us to fight them to the death?"

In an instant, even in the middle of the night, the whole inn became lively.

Su Mo let out a sigh of relief, returned to the room, and carried the Dragon Yin in the box on his back.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun smiled: "Let's go?"

"go!"

Su Mo nodded. He always made a decision, and he acted immediately, never procrastinating.
