"Keeping one's filial piety makes one not aware of the red sunset. I miss my relatives and often look at the white clouds flying. I want to see the empty voice with tears. I want to listen to the lesson but it is silent." This song is the sound of missing my mother. Although there are no words at this time, there is only music, but Zhou Yang listened to the sound of the flute. Then he also thought of his mother. After finishing the song, he was already filled with tears.
The sound of the flute stopped for a long time before Zhou Yang came out of his sadness. I wiped my tears and my mood gradually calmed down.
"The sound of the flute carries a deep longing for my mother, as if calling her back over and over again. Could it be that this eldest lady lost her biological mother since she was a child?" Zhou Yang pondered for a long time, secretly guessing in his heart.
He had often eavesdropped on Binglan playing the harp, and over time he had mastered some of the music. In addition, he had lost his parents since he was a child, and now he and Sima Ling'er had the same disease.
In the early morning of the third day, Zhou Yang was called out just after dinner, saying that the lady was looking for him.
After the report, Zhou Yang entered Sima Ling'er's room. The little girl sat on the futon, looked at him with a smile and asked: "How are you? Are you healed?"
"Thank you, Miss, for the elixir. My subordinate has recovered."
"That's good, come with me to the mountains today. It's too boring here." Sima Ling'er said, playing with her little bell.
"It's just the two of us in the mountains?"
"There are still a few guards. The old man went out for something, otherwise she wouldn't let me go to the mountains." It seemed that the old man was not here, and Ling'er was very happy.
"How's the cultivation of your guards?" Zhou Yang asked.
"They are all better than you, three in the middle stage of Lingtai and one in the late stage." Ling'er spoke very directly, not giving Zhou Yang any face.
"Without Tianyuan masters, I'm afraid it won't be safe to enter the mountain. If we don't protect everything, there will be level five monsters." Zhou Yang didn't care, but he was a little worried.
"We're not going deep, we'll just hang around this mine. Besides, there are people from the other two sects around, so nothing will happen."
"Okay, I will obey."
"I can't tell, you are quite careful and know a lot." Ling'er glanced at him.
"Thank you, Miss."
"Let's go." Sima Ling'er took the lead in leaving the palace. Four guards in black have been waiting outside the door for a long time.
The later guard of the spiritual platform bowed and said: "Miss, we can move within fifty miles of the mine. Beyond this range, high-level monsters will appear."
"I know! I've said it a hundred times, let's go." Ling'er said impatiently.
A guard took the two green wolves and handed them to Sima Ling'er and Zhou Yang respectively, and then handed Zhou Yang a long sword.
Ling'er waved her jade hand lightly, and several people left.
They walked along a path through the forest. Qing Lang was not very fast, while Sima Ling'er and Zhou Yang walked side by side, talking as they walked, and from time to time they discussed the scenery in the mountains.
Four guards followed silently on guard.
They disliked Zhou Yang. A little mine slave from Kaiyuanjing actually became the escort of the young lady. What a bad luck. As for the four of them, they were personally assigned by the sect leader to serve as bodyguards for the young lady. But now, he still has to follow behind this little guy. They stared at Zhou Yang's back, their faces extremely gloomy.
"Cangshou Palace was founded in Cangshou Mountain. I don't know if it's true or not." Zhou Yang asked casually, feeling very comfortable while riding the tall green wolf.
"Of course it's true. I heard it from my father. The first-generation palace master of Cang Beast Palace was a master of golden elixirs. There was also a very powerful sixth-level demon beast under his seat. It seemed to be called Roar, which was equivalent to the golden elixir. Dan realm. He founded a sect in Cangshou Mountain, recruited many disciples, and taught the way to control beasts, making Cangshou Palace one of the strongest sects in Anping City at that time. Later, he established a branch in the city, echoing internally and externally, and gradually became Anping The leader of the three major sects in the city."
"Then why is there no Blue Beast Palace among the three major sects?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask.
"I'm talking about the past, what kind of brain do you have!" Ling'er rolled her eyes at him and continued: "It's time for the third generation of the palace master. The third generation palace master took over as the palace master just after he became a master of golden elixir. He has a very good foundation. It was unstable. There was also a deputy palace master at that time, who had also broken through to the Golden Core Realm not long ago. This person had always been at odds with the second-generation palace master, so the position of palace master was not passed on to him. The deputy master was naturally dissatisfied, and later A conspiracy to assassinate the third-generation palace master resulted in civil strife in the sect. At that time, the gate of Cangshou Palace was in Cangshou Mountain, so the civil strife did not affect the branches in the city. The branch disciples who were loyal to the third-generation palace master joined forces with external forces to suppress the deputy palace master. After the removal, the only two golden elixir masters in the sect died, and the Cangshou Palace slowly declined. In the following decades, there was no golden elixir master, and the mountain gate of the Cangshou Palace was destroyed once. After being defeated by monsters in the beast tide, only the branch in the city remained. Cang Beast Palace was gradually squeezed out of the three sects, but at that time the Three Saints Sect took advantage of the situation and took the place of Cang Beast Palace. Become one of the three sects in Anping City."
"So that's it. It was Cang Beast Palace that squeezed him out of the three sects!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, no matter how powerful the sect is, it cannot withstand the torment of civil strife. I only hope that Xuanfu Sect will work together and not make the same mistake as Cang Beast Palace!" Ling'er said solemnly.
"My lady has a deep affection for the Xuanfu Sect. I would like to ask, who is your elder?"
"Sima Zheng."
"Master of the Xuanfu Sect! I'm disrespectful, I'm disrespectful!" Although Zhou Yang had guessed, he was still surprised.
"I heard that your father went to Tu Yancheng?" After being surprised, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered the incident of Tu Yan Beast Tide.
"Yes, I went to Tu Yan City with the leader of the Three Saints and the big shop owner of the trading company. By the way, I heard from Uncle Gu that your hometown is Tu Yan?"
"Exactly." Zhou Yang's heart trembled. It seemed that this Sima Gu was not simple, and he checked himself out so quickly.
"That's right, Tu Yancheng's Ziyuan Sect also has people from the He family." Ling'er turned around and took a look.
"Oh." Zhou Yang did not answer.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your past." Ling'er curled her lips.
"By the way, I have another question, why does Tongzhou Commercial Bank call its leader the chief shopkeeper?" Zhou Yang changed the subject. He wanted to ask Ling'er's mother, but he held back.
"Why don't you know anything? You are still a permanent resident of Anping City!" Sima Ling'er stared at Zhou Yang like a monster.
"Hehe, my time in Anping City is still short..." Zhou Yang sneered.
"The headquarters of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is not in Anping, but in Suiling City. Suiling City is the largest city in northern Hezhou, much larger than Anping, and it is a super giant city. By the way, the He family is also in Suiling city."
Zhou Yang was secretly shocked, "This He family is really unfathomable. They are actually a powerful force in the super giant city!"
"The headquarters of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is called Tongzhou Commercial Alliance, and the leader is the leader. The merchant alliance has branches or shops in almost three thousand cities in northern Hezhou. It also has business in other cities and is quite powerful. The person in charge of the commercial bank in each city is the big shopkeeper. The chief shopkeeper of Anping City, whose surname is Meng, is also a master of the early stage of the Golden elixir, nicknamed Qingxuzi. However, the leaders of the three major sects in Anping City are also only in the early stage of the Golden elixir. According to the latest news, Cangshou Palace may also have a master of the Golden elixir. But whether it exists or not is unknown." Ling'er explained tirelessly.
"So that's it. The golden elixir was so powerful in the early stage, and a white light disappeared. When will I be able to achieve the golden elixir!" Zhou Yang sighed secretly.
"It is said that the big boss of Tongzhou Trading Bank is about to break through to the middle stage of Jindan. His strength is the highest among the three major sects, so in Anping City, Tongzhou Trading Bank has the greatest strength and the most say." Ling'er continued.
"Is the person riding the giant bird Senior Qing Xuzi?" The image of the giant bird appeared in Zhou Yang's mind again.
"Exactly. That giant bird is a black phoenix bird, a quasi-level six spiritual beast, which is equivalent to half a golden elixir master, so in a battle, he is not afraid of anyone from the three sects."
"I see. Then let me ask you, are there any less powerful sects in Anping City?" Zhou Yang simply asked.
"There are about a dozen of them, and among them there are two sects that are comparable to Cang Beast Palace. One is Wanjian Sect, and the second is Zhengyi Sect, both of which have tens of thousands of disciples. The mountain gate of Wanjian Sect is not in the city, but Wanjian Island is more than five hundred miles outside the city. This island is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the official road to Anping City is a dry road. Except for these two, the others are small sects and small families with little influence. Wanjianmen It is relatively close to our Xuanfu Sect, the Zhengyi Sect has a good relationship with the Three Saints Sect, and Cangshou Palace is in a neutral position, but it has more business dealings with Tongzhou Trading Company." Ling'er spoke very carefully.
Zhou Yang had also read some introductions to some sects in the books he purchased, but they were all very simple. Today, through Sima Ling'er's explanation, he had a comprehensive understanding of the distribution of forces in Anping City and the relationship between the various sects.
Only the top leaders of the three sects would know these intricate relationships. Sima Ling'er regarded him as his savior, so she told him so much.
While they were talking, everyone had already climbed a mountain peak. This peak is not steep, with a gentle slope. There are several small peaks surrounding it, like stars holding the moon, guarding the middle peak. There are many exposed rocks on the top of Zhongfeng. These rocks are set off by various flowers, plants and trees, and they seem to be alive.
Sima Ling'er liked the scenery here very much. She ran around on the top of the peak, sometimes picking wild flowers, sometimes looking into the distance, and she was very excited.
Several green wolves stood quietly aside, lined up like guards.
Zhou Yang didn't care about the scenery of this peak and just strolled around.
As he was walking slowly forward, his eyes suddenly lit up. He discovered that the slopes on the west side of the peak were covered with patches of yellow grass!
Zhou Yang was overjoyed, glanced at Miss Ling'er who was having fun, and then looked at the guards in black who were on alert everywhere, then he couldn't wait to run over and started picking on the hillside.
Sima Ling'er occasionally turned around and saw Zhou Yang picking wild flowers. She smiled and ignored him and continued to play wildly. The four guards, however, had expressions of disdain on their faces, secretly mocking this boy for not having seen the world and picking weeds like a woman.
Zhou Yang worked hard on the hillside, much harder than digging the Lingshi mine. He didn't dare to take out the storage bag, so he had to gather the picked yellow grass behind a rock, which blocked other people's sight. After a while, Zhou Yang stretched deliberately and lay down on the hillside without paying attention to his appearance. He pretended to breathe in the aura of the mountain, but secretly put the collected yellow grass into the storage bag in his arms.
