Wu Song

The night was dark and the sky began to rain.

The air in this era is as pure as crystal, and the rainwater is also extremely clean.Streaks of glistening rainlines lead straight from the high clouds to the ground, and the clear water vapor alone is enough to make people intoxicated.There was still commotion in Anyi City, and people from several factions jumped out to watch the excitement, and there were noises and neighing everywhere.Outside the city of Anyi, it was as quiet as another world.

The place where Shang Tang treats guests is very remote, a small village more than 300 miles south of Anyi City.The village is very tidy, and all the houses are neatly organized, tidy and clean.The streets more than two feet wide were paved with fine white sand, and the rainwater hit the road surface, splashing small potholes one by one.At the head of the village, under a big sweet-scented osmanthus tree surrounded by more than a dozen people, there is a small hut, which is also very neat and tidy.

It was already late at night, and the lights in the hut were still flickering, and a strong smell of meat was blowing far away with the night wind.Xia Jie went to the hut, and was served by a girl in plain clothes. He took off his heavy boots and changed into a pair of light cloth shoes. He jumped onto the wooden floor a few feet above the ground and walked along the corridor outside. Into the hut.

This is a restaurant specializing in scattered wine and food business. On weekdays, it only sells a few taels of cooked meat and a few catties of grain wine to the villagers.But today, on the stove in the corner of the room, two lambs were stewing hot in a large iron pot, and there was strong wine on the wooden table in the middle of the room.Xia Jie sniffled his nose fiercely, and asked in surprise, "Dongyi's lamb's blood wine?"

Shang Tang, whose hair was loose and tied behind his head hastily with a black cloth strip, sat down at the table and said with a smile, "It's the lamb's blood wine from the Dongyi people. Only a man like Meng Tianhou This kind of strong wine is worthy of the heroic spirit of fierce weather." Yi Yin, who sat cross-legged behind Shang Tang, stared at Xia Jie almost impolitely, which made Xia Jie feel uncomfortable for a while.

The body twisted a bit, the witch power was released, and the few drops of water on the clothes were blown away. Xia Jie rubbed his palms, walked to sit opposite Shangtang, laughed and said: "I have a heart. Lie Wine, good!"

He didn't say much, and didn't wait for Shang Tang to greet him, he grabbed a jar of blood wine, slapped the Kaifeng mud with his palm, and swallowed it.His drinking posture was extremely unrestrained, a large amount of liquor splashed out from the corner of his mouth, which wetted his clothes, then splashed on the table along with his clothes, and wet the table.

Shang Tang looked at Xia Jie with a smile, and clapped his hands lightly.The girl who brought Xia Jie in just now walked nimbly to the stove, put the two lambs on a big wooden tray and brought them up.Shang Tang pulled out a short knife, carefully cut off the head of a lamb, put it in a small plate, and placed it in front of Xia Jie.He pointed at the head of the sheep and said with a smile: "The lambs raised by our Shang clan using secret methods are the most tender and delicious, and they are unique in the world. Try it in fierce weather?"

Asking people to eat sheep's head is a sign of great respect for nomadic tribes like the Shang people.

Xia Jie dropped the empty wine jar, stretched out his hand to grab the sheep's head, ate a few hot mouthfuls, tore off some tender meat and chewed it in his mouth for a while, it was indeed delicious, tender and juicy, There is no mutton smell at all.He raised his thumb and exclaimed: "Good meat, don't worry about Shang Tang." He was not polite, and he ate up the two lambs in a short while, leaving no trace for Shang Tang.After eating and drinking enough, Xia Jie patted his stomach and said: "Good meat, good wine, Shang Tang, you are also a good person. If you have anything to say, say it!"

With a wave of his hand, Xia Jie also pulled out a short knife and drew it between his teeth. He glanced at Yi Yin and said with a smile: "We Chihu people are the most straightforward, speaking directly when we have something to say."

Shang Tang exchanged glances with Yi Yin who was sitting behind him, and a smile rippled on his lips.He said softly: "It's going to be a tough day, how about introducing Shang Tang to Mr. Tongtian?"

"My master?" Xia Jie glanced at Shangtang in surprise, took the hot towel sent by the girl beside him, wiped his hands, and said lightly: "What's the matter? Well, my master has been in Anyi city these few days , why don't you ask to see him?"

After a few dry laughs, Shang Tang said a little shyly: "Mr. Tongtian has been in Anyi City for the past few days, but he is always accompanied by members of the Xingtian family. What about this, in order not to cause misunderstandings by the Xingtian family..."

"Hmm!" Xia Jie pondered for a while, thinking that he should first ask what Shang Tang's intention was. Just at this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a dozen strong men rushed out from the shadows outside the hut. The saber was out of its sheath, and went towards Xia Jie's path.A man shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? You don't want to die, so go!"

"Hmph! Is it possible for the poor Taoist to find his apprentice and inform you?" The cold and arrogant voice of Taoist Tongtian came, and suddenly there was a strong wind outside the house. A dozen men were swept up by the strong wind without the slightest ability to resist. how far.Amidst the sound of footsteps, Taoist Tongtian strode in with a person in one hand.

Wearing a bright red Taoist robe, Taoist Tongtian walked into the room with a smile all over his face, and said with a big laugh, "Disciple Xia Jie, why didn't you even notice that someone was following behind you? If it wasn't for the teacher's whim Isn't there another trouble behind you?" He carried two men in black in his hands, and Taoist Tong Tian grabbed them by the neck and dragged them all the way.Tong Tian Dao has a heavy hand, and the faces of these two witches who don't know their strength have turned purple, and they can only breathe out, not breathe in.

With a sneer, Taoist Tongtian threw the two of them on the ground casually, strode to the table, looked at the huge pile of bones in the wooden plate, clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It's a good night on such a rainy night, there is wine and meat, disciple, Why didn't you call me Master?" Grabbing Xia Jie who kowtowed to him, Daoist Tongtian sat at the table and shouted loudly: "Come here, serve the meat and the wine!"

Xia Jie rubbed his nose, and smiled wryly at the stunned Shang Tang: "Shang Tang, my master is here, if you have anything to do, just tell my master directly!"

After hesitating for a while, Shang Tang bowed to Taoist Tongtian first, then pointed to the two lying on the ground and asked, "These two?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of dense footsteps came, and a dozen guards arranged by Shang Tang outside strode in.The eyeballs of these guards were all red, Taoist Tong Tian casually rolled up his sleeves and blew them all away for more than a hundred miles. Such a terrifying master approached their master, could they not be in a hurry?As soon as two stunned and strong young men rushed into the hut, two arcs of light were drawn with the long knife in their hands, and they slashed fiercely at the back of Taoist Tongtian.

"Hey, these guys are good, they came back so fast?" Xia Jie just stretched out his fist to stop the two knives, but Taoist Tong Tian's reaction was thousands of times faster than Xia Jie's?I saw that his fingertips were like the wind, and his fingertips trembled slightly like grass sprouts swaying in the breeze. Circles of light blue soft light rippled away from his fingertips. The bodies of a dozen guards who shouted to kill froze, and at the same time Planted the hut.

Shang Tang was dumbfounded.The corners of Yi Yin's eyes also twitched violently for a while, and he bowed respectfully to Taoist Tong Tian and said, "Mister's supernatural powers are indeed unfathomable. My master has something to ask, and please be merciful, sir, to help our Shang family." Yi Yin deeply He bent down and knocked his forehead heavily on the floor.It seems that Daoist Tongtian knocked away more than a dozen guards so lightly, but only Yi Yin knew that there were three high-ranking great witches in this group of guards!

For the Great Xia clan like the Shang clan, the three high-ranking great witches are almost the elite of the small half of the clan.However, the three high-rank witches of the nine tripods were easily knocked into the air twice by Taoist Tongtian, but they did not suffer any obvious damage, just like an old man playing with a baby with ease.Strength, the terrifying strength displayed by Taoist Tongtian shocked Shang Tang and Yi Yin's hearts, how could they dare to neglect in the slightest?

Shang Tang also knelt down deeply in front of Taoist Tongtian, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "I heard about Mr.'s name earlier, and I can see you today. It really is very special. Shang Tang has a merciless request, and I also ask for your kindness. "I don't know where I found a beautifully carved topaz cup with dragon body and phoenix head blood pattern. Shang Tang poured a cup of lamb blood wine and handed it to Taoist Tongtian respectfully.Yi Yin also quietly ran to the side, and told the girl to cook another pot of mutton quickly, and then flew out to stop the guards from breaking in again to make fun of themselves.

Daoist Tongtian laughed triumphantly. He touched his chin. He seemed a little angry at the chin that hadn't grown a beard, so he said with a gloomy face: "A little fame is nothing. Xia, I’m afraid he’s not very famous, hahahaha, but this disciple of Pindao is very good!” He patted Xia Jie’s shoulder dotingly, Taoist Tongtian nodded at Xia Jie approvingly, and took Shangtang Served wine glass.

While Daoist Tongtian patted Xia Jie's body, Xia Jie only felt a few tyrannical heat in his body pouring into Taoist Tongtian's palm along his body.He suddenly understood that Taoist Tongtian had taken back the fairy sword and magic weapon that Taoist Tongtian lent him to save his life when he went to the heavenly court.He saluted Taoist Tongtian gratefully, and suddenly he felt a hot stomach, and out of thin air, another shot of wine poured into Xia Jie's stomach.

Xia Jie thought of the scene where Primordial Taoist, Tongtian Taoist, and Tai Yi appeared in Sunset City at the same time, how similar was that scene?He watched helplessly as Taoist Tongtian drank the blood wine in the cup, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "Well, Master, he is not just sympathetic. He wants to drink when others toast, but this blood wine is only for you. It can be poured into my stomach."

Seeing that Taoist Tongtian drank the blood wine so happily, Shang Tang was overjoyed to help Taoist Tongtian pour the wine again and again.Both Taoist Tongtian and Xia Jie had weird expressions on their faces. Taoist Tongtian could only bite the bullet and pour cups of blood wine with a strong smell into his mouth. full of.

In the end, Taoist Tongtian 'drank' six jars of blood wine.Shang Tang complimented Taoist Tongtian with a smile on his face: "Sir, it really is huge. In my Shang clan, few people in my Shang clan can drink two jars of this lamb's blood wine." Shang Tang looked at Taoist Tongtian, Looking at Xia Jie again, he wondered in his heart, "Why did his face turn so red suddenly?"

The Taoist Tongtian who had a ghost in his heart laughed a few times, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve hastily, and asked Shang Tang with a smile: "Shang Tang, why are you looking for the poor Taoist?" He looked at Shang Tang with a smile, unfathomable Shang Tang's figure was reflected in his eyes, as if there was another world inside.

Shang Tang just looked into the eyes of Daoist Tongtian, and felt that his soul was about to fly away, as if he was about to be sucked in by that piece of darkness.He was startled, and hastily lowered his head, not daring to look at Taoist Tongtian, and said respectfully: "Tang, I heard that Mr. Mengtianhou has taken Mengtianhou as his apprentice, and he has built more than 300 dojos in the area around Mengtianhou's fief Goddess Lake." ?”

His head was a little dizzy, and Xia Jie, who was considering whether to force out the alcohol, was taken aback. It has only been a few days since he went to the central region to become the governor?There are more than 300 dojos?If every ashram had the scale of Sanqing outside Anyi City, wouldn't there be millions of disciples accepted into the sect now?The speed of this development is so fast and scary!

With a light flick of his finger, Taoist Tongtian cast a slanted glance at Yi Yin, who was kneeling beside him respectfully again in the room, and said with a smile, "Of course. Does Shang Tang have anything to say?"

Shang Tang bowed to Tongtian Daoist with all his body in his arms and said: "Tang Bold, please also go to our Shang clan's territory and open a dojo in our Shang clan's territory. Our Shang tribe is willing to use you as an offering to spread the great teaching."

Daoist Tongtian's eyes lit up. He glanced at Xia Jie. Xia Jie was also dizzy from the pie falling from the sky, so he couldn't help showing an excited smile.The Shang clan is a relatively powerful clan among the Great Xia clan. It owns a vast territory and a large number of ethnic groups, at least equivalent to the scale of hundreds of Goddess Lake fiefdoms.If the Shang family is willing to worship Taoist Tongtian, this will be a great temptation for Taoist Tongtian who wants to spread the teachings of Taoism. (One click from you warms up my entire codeword life. Let’s watch the fantasy fantasy channel of Wenxue.com together, more exciting content is waiting for you!) Explained the situation of the Shang family to Taoist Tongtian with spiritual sense, Tongtian Taoist The man smiled slightly, put on an extremely majestic and graceful appearance, and said very solemnly: "Why?"

Shang Tang just kowtowed to Taoist Tongtian constantly, but Yi Yin on the side raised his head, and said in a sad tone: "There is no one else, please protect yourself. Please be merciful, sir!"

Yi Yin, who was full of tears, told the story one by one, but it turned out that the Shang clan was at the junction of Da Xia, Dong Yi, and the southern barbarian country. The object of looting.Every year, the Shang family has to pay a lot of taxes and livestock as tribute to Daxia, but Daxia has not fulfilled its duty to protect the suzerain.The last time the Dongyi people invaded the Shang clan, if the Shang clan hadn't happened to discover the original jade mine and dedicated it to Daxia, how could the former king of Xia send Lu Gui and the private army of the four great witches to rescue the Shang clan?

In this decisive battle between Daxia and Hairen, although the Dongyi people were annihilated by the doomsday fortress that surrendered to Daxia, a large number of elite forces were wiped out, and the southern barbarians were almost completely wiped out in Hairen's territory.But compared to the Shang clan, Dongyi and Nanman are still giants that cannot be defeated.What's more, the Shang clan sent a large number of clansmen to follow Lu Gui on the expedition, and there were also a lot of casualties?

After the war, both the Dongyi people and the people from the southern barbarian countries needed to recuperate.In this era, under the conditions of social productivity, what is the basis for rest and recuperation?Give birth, give birth desperately, give birth to many children, the more the better!To have a child, you need a lot of food and as many and better women as possible.

That's all for the Dongyi people, they have vast pastures and countless herds of livestock.But what about the southern barbarians?

Hearing this, Xia Jie couldn't help but blushed a little. The productivity of the southern barbarian country is indeed a little primitive.He pulled Taoist Tongtian's sleeve, smiled wryly and said, "Master, this disciple also knows. After this battle, since Pan Geng has been sent back to Chiyou Mountain City by the king, in order to recover his vitality as soon as possible, , the barbarian country can only send troops to plunder everywhere."

Taking a sympathetic look at Shang Tang who was banging his head and Yi Yin with a sad face, Xia Jie couldn't bear to say: "I was just sent back after being taught a lesson by Da Xia and sworn a blood oath. Pan Geng, who was born in China, would definitely not come to provoke Daxia. Then, he could only plunder Daxia's vassal clans and states in the south. The Shang clan is weak in force, but extremely rich, and they are the best targets for looting! "

Not only robbing food and livestock, but also robbing women.That's what the members of the Chihu Clan did back then, and all the forces around Great Xia have been doing this for a long time.

Seeing that Daoist Tongtian kept his face stern and silent, Yi Yin pondered for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Sir, Yi Yin Dewen, the master's teaching of Dao can make ordinary people have supernatural powers. If Mr. Demeng of my business family opened In the dojo, if you teach the Dao, you will have the power to protect yourself." Yi Yin also knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Taoist Tong Tian, ​​and tears poured down his eyes like rain.

Taoist Tongtian closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked slowly: "Are there no masters in your merchant clan?"

Shang Tang finally opened his mouth and said: "In the Great Xia Law, it is stipulated that the great witches who belong to the country and the clan
