I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 103 On Fuyao Mountain, the horizontal canal is the road

Zhang Shuwei and the three of them were all injured now and couldn't get up quickly even if they wanted to.

But Situ Zhongxia looked like he had a good hand. The black iron sword was tilted behind his back, and a leather buckle on the back of the waist caught the sword blade, covering all seven wet marks. Although he was not walking fast, he was full of power and calm. No flaws can be seen.

The three of them met Su Hanshan before they reached the foot of Feilaifeng Mountain.

"Brother Su!"

Li Chaoyang's eyes lit up, but when he saw Su Hanshan's figure passing close, his body was covered in blood, and the smell of blood hit his nostrils, he couldn't help but be shocked, "Are you injured too?"

"It's okay, this is basically not my own blood."

Su Hanshan stopped and saw that Lao Zhang's clothes were in tatters and Li Chaoyang had many wounds. He pressed a palm on Li Chaoyang's shoulder and said, "Are you still intercepted?"

Li Chaoyang had several fragments of the medicine bottle on his body, which penetrated his flesh and blood and were difficult to remove. When he was held down by this palm, he felt the wound was slightly warm, and a strange soft force ejected the broken pieces of porcelain from his body, stopping the bleeding.

His pain eased a lot and he said, "We met the master of the Kuanggu Hall. Thanks to Master Situ's arrival and your roar on the mountain, we scared him away."

Situ Zhongxia also clasped his fists and said: "Little brother Su, I... cough, I mean, my name is Situ Zhongxia! Well, it seems that Chaoyang and Lao Zhang were able to get to Lingyin Temple thanks to your care. Just now you also It helped a lot, thank you very much!”

Su Hanshan clasped his fists in return, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said: "The master of Kuanggu Hall, he is the real boss among the 4000 people this time. Brother Situ thinks, if we join forces, can we find him and kill him?" ?”

"This... I actually didn't hurt him just now."

Situ Zhongxia's eyes wandered and he said, "I think our top priority is to bring Lao Zhang to Fuyao Mountain."

Su Hanshan looked at his appearance and heard what he meant. He understood in his heart and said nothing more.

The four of them set out on the road together, but it was Situ Zhongxia who showed the way. Not long after, they met dozens of yellow-robed swordsmen, driving their carriages.

These people are the disciples of Bashu Jiange.

After the four of them got on the same carriage, Situ Zhongxia relaxed.

"Ouch, my elbow."

As soon as Situ Zhongxia's straight back collapsed, his right hand began to tremble. His left hand quickly grabbed an iron ring under the seat and pulled it out.

Although this carriage cannot be called a luxury BMW, it is made of solid materials and the interior space is not small. There are seats on three sides. It looks like three long boxes close to the inner wall of the carriage.

If someone is going to sit on this box, naturally it will not be opened from the top, but from the side. There are many essential things in it for traveling around the world.

Situ Zhongxia first dug out a bottle of painkillers for muscle strain, swallowed it himself, and then said: "You also have medicines under your seats. You know a lot about it, Lao Zhang, so go ahead and do it."

Zhang Shuwei sat on the innermost side of the carriage, opened the box and looked through it.

Li Chaoyang and Su Hanshan were both sitting opposite Situ Zhongxia.

Seeing that Situ Zhongxia's right hand was still shaking after taking the pills, but in order not to affect the flow of qi and blood and cause future troubles, he did not touch the acupuncture points. He could only hold his right wrist with his left hand and slowly adjust his breathing.

Su Hanshan immediately said: "My skills are very effective in treating injuries to muscles and bones. Let me try it."

Situ Zhongxia happily stretched out his hand to cooperate, and Su Hanshan held his right wrist and used Rama Kung Fu to pass through.

As soon as this skill entered his body, Situ Zhongxia realized the benefits and quickly used his internal energy to guide, divide and store Rama's skill in the most injured parts of his body.

In this way, the loss in other non-injured parts is reduced. Su Hanshan only needs to transmit internal energy for a short period of time, and Situ Zhongxia can nourish his injured area for a long time.

"Good trick!"

Su Hanshan praised him and found that this person's control over his own internal power was as detailed as the one who had mastered all the Six Qi Sea Techniques.

"Brother Situ, at this level, should be able to reach the threshold of a grandmaster, yet he was actually injured in so many places by that Zheng Dao?"

Situ Zhongxia took back his hand and said sternly: "That old boy claims he can beat the Grandmaster head-on without falling behind. That's not a lie."

"Back when the Mountain Master first broke through to the Grandmaster realm, I fought against him. Within thirty moves, I actually fought him to an even tie."

"Four years ago, the mountain master found an opportunity and set up a plan to mobilize Zhao Lizong in order to eradicate the man named Zheng. However, he was injured only after the seventh move. He also used his hands to support him and successfully escaped into Shi Miyuan's house. manor."

Li Chaoyang added from the side: "But Master Situ also had some deeds against the Grandmaster."

"Of course I'm awesome too!"

Situ Zhongxia grinned, "But, the one who fought me was the imperial uncle of Annan Kingdom. He and Shen Weiran are good friends, and we can be considered indirect friends. The thirty moves he made, even if he didn't let go, they were only It can be considered tepid.”

Shen Weiran is the master of Kongmeng Pavilion in the East China Sea, a major maritime business sect. He has formed an alliance with Fuyao Mountain as early as a generation ago. They have close contacts and a deep friendship.

"Really speaking, I'm still a little worse than that old boy."

Situ Zhongxia pinched his little finger with his thumb, holding it as close as a red bean, and then his face tightened.

"But just to close the gap, I retreated for the past two months and tried to break through, but failed. In order to avoid hidden dangers, I lost [-]% of my foundation, and the gap widened."

Zhang Shuwei asked: "Which part did you originally want to refine and break through to become a master?"

"How brave."

Situ Zhongxia said, "As the saying goes, a hero is full of courage. Besides, the mountain master also broke through this way and has more experience in this area."

Zhang Shuwei shook his head: "Then it's not necessarily a bad thing that you failed to break through."

Situ Zhongxia said in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I think whether it's the master's way of treating the brain first or the internal organs first, there are huge drawbacks. The real right path is to follow the spine."

Zhang Shuwei said, "Li Qiumian's visit to me this time is probably related to this matter. I am also about to borrow his Fuyao Mountain collection of books to verify my conjecture."

"But for those masters who have already made breakthroughs, even if they know the right path and want to practice both in the future, the situation in their bodies will become more complicated and require more efforts. Those like you who have not yet made breakthroughs will be able to correct it more easily."

Situ Zhongxia frowned and said, "Why do you say that the spine is the right way?"

He and Zhang Shuwei also had a friendship back then, and there is no conflict in mentality and stance now, but when it comes to martial arts, it is still not easy to change their minds.

"I can't explain it to you now. When I get to Fuyao Mountain, I will sort it out completely and you will understand."

Zhang Shuwei said, looked at Su Hanshan, and added, "Xiao Su and I have the same concept."

Su Hanshan smiled: "I am indeed looking forward to the collection of books in Fuyao Mountain."

The sound outside became more and more noisy. Su Hanshan opened the curtain and took a look. It turned out that he was passing through the city gate and completely entered Lin'an City.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful, there were more than 6000 million people under its rule. This did not include the number of wealthy families living in seclusion in various places.As the current imperial capital, Lin'an is a wealthy and prosperous place that needs no introduction.

Opposite the city gate, the main street, which can accommodate eight carriages running parallel, actually felt a bit crowded due to the surging crowds and carriages and horses going back and forth.

The scene of dozens of swordsmen from the Bashu sword pavilion escorting several carriages on horseback was very eye-catching when placed outside, but after it merged with the crowd of Lin'an City, it immediately disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

The rivers in the city are criss-crossed, with boats passing by and thousands of sails gathering on the rivers. Even the ordinary people living here have a somewhat swaggering temperament, with thick clothes and few patches.

The rural farmers near Feilai Peak all belong to Lin'an Prefecture, but because they are separated by a wall, they seem to be thousands of miles apart.

Su Hanshan saw such a scene with his own eyes, and suddenly understood why the emperors and officials of the Song Dynasty always had an inexplicable confidence that they could have fun and enjoy luxury in troubled times.

They were born into the noble family of Tianhuang, and being in such a city, they probably didn’t have the troubled world in their minds at all.

No matter how hard they are beaten outside, no matter how good their own people are, to them, it is just a bit of unsightly news. Anyway, it is far enough away that it cannot touch them.

Although the current emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty can also find his name in the Zhao family tree and claims to be a member of the Zhao family clan, his blood relationship with the previous emperor is actually so far away that it can be ignored.

Before being selected by Shi Miyuan, he almost lived in a civilian home.

Probably also for this reason.

More than ten years ago, when Shi Miyuan failed to break through the master's serious illness, the emperor took the opportunity to seize some power, personally involved in political affairs, selected officials and military personnel, and really showed some positive and effective signs.

Unfortunately, according to Li Chaoyang and others, in recent years, the emperor has become more likely to follow the same path as the Zhao family emperor.

"That's Fuyao Mountain over there."

Li Chaoyang pointed to several mountain shadows in the distance.

The main rudder of Fuyao Mountain covers those mountain tops, but from a distance, they are just low hills, none higher than [-] feet, which seems to be unworthy of the name "Fuyao".

After passing through the busy city and private houses, we got out of the carriage, took a boat and walked through the waterway, and approached there.

The scenery in Su Hanshan's eyes became clearer and clearer, and he discovered that there were actually many terraced ditches and paddy fields on the mountain. The seedlings were already green, and farmers were cultivating them.

There are also strong men and women in costumes directing farmers to dump fish fry into the farmland.

Large groups of ducks and white geese swam by on the river. Perhaps they had seen too many boats coming and going and were not afraid of people. There were also white geese that spread their wings and jumped on the bow of the boat, but were waved away by the disciples of Bashu Jiange.

"Hahaha, brother Su, what do you think of our Fuyao Mountain chief helmsman?"

Situ Zhongxia opened his arms as if to embrace the mountains and rivers, and said happily, "Sooner or later, I will turn our Bashu Jiange territory into this."

"Let those turtle boys around me who are always making trouble every day farm and raise livestock for me."

This place really doesn't look like the helm of a big sect, but both Situ Zhongxia and Li Chaoyang seem to be proud of it.

Su Hanshan originally thought that this place was very different from what he imagined, and his expression was a bit subtle.

However, as the boat moved forward, the sound of water under the boat, the cries of poultry on the water, and the voices and barks of people on both sides of the river mingled together.

As he looked at the scenery and listened to the sounds, the unyielding energy he felt after killing everyone seemed to have become purer and naturally restrained.

"Indeed, it's pretty good."

Su Hanshan enjoyed the wind on the water and chuckled twice.

Zhang Shuwei also looked at this scene and said with emotion: "Li Qiumian once told me that the Song Dynasty was famous for its wealth. Before the disgrace of Jingkang, they were even used to using money to buy the reputation of winning wars. To buy peace on the border, both the Liao and Xixia people felt that the Song court was good at doing business."

"But in fact, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty only know how to make money, and they have no idea what real business is and what real getting rich is. People who understand business are often unable, unwilling, and dare not practice it."

"After coming out of the mountain this time, it seems that he really persevered all the way."

Su Hanshan asked curiously: "It sounds like he has any way to get rich that is different from the general public, does he rely on farming?"

"Absolutely. We Han people have the most farmers in the world. If you really want to get rich, you can't avoid them. However, most wealthy families and wealthy businessmen can only achieve temporary wealth by driving farmers. It can only be called wealth accumulation. It is not enough. Let’s call it merit.”

Zhang Shuwei recalled, "What Li Qiumian thought was that if the farmers in Fuyao Mountain were not disturbed by the government, squires, and gangs for a while, they would have a lot more energy, and they could do other things while farming." to more things.”

"For example, the south has plenty of water and fertile land. At the same time as farming, you can raise fish, waterfowl, fruit trees, mulberry trees, aquatic vegetables, etc. Some farmers are unable to do these things, and some want to, but they can't. I don’t know what to do, some people know how to raise livestock, but they don’t know how to raise a large number of livestock.”

"Fuyao Mountain provides them with shelter, and then sends people to guide them in all matters big and small. After the harvest is harvested, whatever cannot be sold locally will be transported away by Fuyao Mountain and the profits will be drawn."

Zhang Shuwei suddenly laughed, "In the first few years when he started doing this, he almost lost all the family fortunes of several generations in the gang. Moreover, he was really soft and graceful. He was friendly with people from the emperor's line and was always willing to give to the emperor." The eunuch Dong Songchen around him sent gifts and curry favor with Shi Miyuan's nephew Shi Songzhi, and even almost married Shi Songzhi's daughter."

"But before I retired, he had gradually returned to his roots and became the general leader of various maritime merchant gangs on the southeast coast. He also cooperated with Southern Shaolin in the maritime loan business. He shipped goods all over the world, and the rugged places could reach Shuzhong, Annan, and Dali. The distant islands can be reached."

"After Shi Songzhi resigned in old age, he broke off friendship with Shi Miyuan and his family, but Shi Miyuan had nothing to do with him."

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

"I only know a rough idea. All the details and difficulties are overwhelming even when I think about it in my dreams. I really can't imagine how they have dealt with it all these years."

"Think about the time when I was so full of ambition and arrogance, but then I could only find a place to hide and write a book, just because my brain is not as useful as this group of people."

Su Hanshan couldn't help but said: "Did he come up with all these things you mentioned?"

Zhang Shuwei said: "It can be said that he has inherited the knowledge of his family for several generations, plus the collection of books and classics from various families, but what he really developed and dared to do was started by him and the people around him."

"I don't know anything about business, but he does so many things and can practice martial arts to a master..."

Su Hanshan exhaled and said with admiration, "I think this is the most outrageous."

"Martial arts is what the heart aspires to, what the body carries, and what the spirit does. If you don't even practice your own intentions, no matter how good your talent is, your skills will gradually exceed the control of your mentality and you will not be called a master."

The white geese fled in fright on the river, and the water rippled.

The blue-robed scribe stepped onto the water, his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin, his red phoenix eyes, and his long beard like ink. He floated onto the boat, his eyes smiling, and fell on Su Hanshan.

"I have heard about Su Shaoxia. How did you feel when you went up to Feilai Peak alone?"

Su Hanshan pondered for a moment, and finally used the most straightforward expression, saying: "At that time, I just wanted to chop them all to death. All my life, I have done a lot of complicated things. This is the purest thing that can kill them all." If this thing is done satisfactorily, it will be worth dying for."

"Then since you are not dead, this incident will only be the true beginning of your grandmaster's state of mind."

The blue-robed scribe had a clear smile on his face, raised his hands in salute, and said, "Chunnian Academy, Li Qiumian, I have met Brother Su!"
