Wei Jing and Zhou Chihong also clasped their fists and said, "Hello, Brother Sun, my name is Jing, and his name is Chihong."
Zhou Chihong was also slow to speak, so he just smiled at the other party honestly. Brother Sun also said to the three of them: "You two are polite. My surname is Sun and I am diligent in speaking and speaking. Congratulations to Young Master Yang for becoming a Formation Master."
Yang Chucheng waved his hand and said, "I am no longer a member of the Yang family. Brother Sun can just call me Chu Cheng."
Although Sun Xueyan lived in the sect, he also interacted with many outside families and other forces, so he knew what the other party meant. He nodded and said: "Then I will call you Chu Cheng in private, and I will still call you Chu Cheng in public. It’s better to be an adult, after all, you are also a third-level formation master and the ceremony is indispensable.”
"Just follow Brother Sun's wishes!"
"Xue Yan, I'm done with my visit and say goodbye. If you need help, you can leave a message for me at the bun shop in the east of the city. Someone will look for you later."
Without waiting for anyone's response, the three of them looked at Sun Xueyan's back and left. Zhou Chihong scratched his head and asked, "Chu Cheng, have you known him for a long time?"
"Actually, I met Brother Sun through my elder brother's introduction. He is one of the sects near the west of the capital. He belongs to the [Five Lotus Sect] and is divided into five banner disciples, and he is one of the disciples of Hongqi. The first person."
"So awesome!"
"Brother, I said that if it weren't for his unusual personality and low-key behavior, his name would be known to more people."
Wei Jing asked: "What are the colors of the other four flags of the Five Lotus Sect?"
"The other colors are blue, yellow, white and black."
"Does that mean something?"
"Yes! The characteristic of their sect is that the division of labor is particularly clear. The corresponding colors are blue for liaison and diplomacy; yellow for penalties and rewards; white for production and supplies; black for distribution and operations; and finally red for execution of offense and defense.
The above is about the work they are responsible for, and there are also gray disciples, but they are new ones, and they need to be trained for two to three years before they can be arranged to be the disciples of the same color according to their wishes. "
"Can they change the flag to another color later?"
"You can have three opportunities within three years after you first join the five-color flag. As long as the flag owner you are in and the flag owner you want to join agree, you can transfer the colors."
Zhou Chihong nodded and said: "The Five Lotus Sect is also very enlightened. No wonder they can establish a sect in the capital."
"Brother Tuesday is right. Other sects can gain a foothold in the capital and have their merits."
Wei Jing listened quietly to Chu Cheng's explanation about the location and characteristics of each sect near the capital. After all, no one except storytellers would write these works into books, let alone anyone blatantly sell the location and information of each sect, because You can know all this by just asking the common people, and if you use this to make money, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?
He knew a lot of things that were not recorded in the book, such as the Lily Sect's disciples only want married women, the Mingyue Gang's disciples were only eleven or twelve years old due to their skills, and the Flying Squirrel Sect was a group of like-minded righteous people. The group of thieves has no fixed location, etc. There is also the distribution and information of each family, etc.
Although Yang Chucheng only described it briefly, he picked up a glass of wine to moisten his throat when he was thirsty. Wei Jing and Zhou Chihong were also digesting the simplified but huge information.
After his throat felt better, he said: "It's probably all information like this. Although some are hidden sects or masters, few people know about them unless they go down the mountain or meet by chance."
Wei Jing asked: "What do they usually come down from the mountain for?"
"Either looking for a successor or buying some things or ingredients."
"I can understand finding disciples, but don't they have certain production capacity to be self-sufficient?"
"Oh... they don't consume much because they have a relatively small number of people, but some daily necessities may not be produced, such as clothes, metals, salt, etc., and they sometimes use some of the things they produce to exchange for some daily necessities or It’s Yinliang. After all, they hide themselves in the market and sometimes they can’t stay out of touch with the news.”
"That is, there is something they want that can be used in exchange for something. Maybe it is news from other sects or the court, rare martial arts skills, etc., right?"
"Brother's idea is absolutely right. It's not just about martial arts. Most of them also possess a variety of skills. If you can learn a skill from them, you will have a good chance of becoming a master in the future. Moreover, they are not fools. The core part is of course not Will speak out."
Wei Jing nodded and said: "Although they are outsiders, they don't think that what they have learned cannot be passed on. Chihong, will your master be a reclusive person?"
Normally, people from the Shikoku Continent would not take the initiative to ask about other people's apprenticeships, because it would be offensive to others, but it doesn't matter if they are familiar with each other or the person being asked doesn't mind.
Zhou Chihong didn't mind and said: "I only know that the master's surname is Fang. I don't know anything else. It may or may not be the case, but I know that it was the master who taught me how to read and write. Regardless of whether it is or not, I must be grateful to my master. He has changed My whole life!"
In addition, after the two of them heard his innocent words, they also raised their glasses to toast him. Zhou Chihong also raised his glasses and drank with them. He then asked: "Brother Sun from the Five Lotus Sect said he would come to us in the future. What is actually going on?" What's going on?"
Wei Jing replied: "There are three reasons! First, it is human nature to have a good relationship with us who are fresh out of the oven. One more friend and one less enemy; second, if they want to draw us into their sect, there should be many invitations to greet us. That’s what I mean; thirdly, you may need our help with something, and I wonder if it’s a thankless job?”
Yang Chucheng nodded and said: "Brother's analysis is also very comprehensive. Sometimes they will ask for help from new medicine or herbalists who have joined the medical plant guild, because it is more fair. After all, they do not have much interaction with the sect or parties. Of course, the guild will also send People with certain qualifications follow.”
Zhou Chihong asked again: "Then, after joining the sect, will I be separated from the Medical Plant Guild?"
"No, in addition to basic discounts for purchasing medicinal materials, borrowing guild books, etc., some high-level powers in the guild, such as guild services or book collections, cannot be used for free. After all, you have invested in the other party's Among the sects, the profit power is of course first given to the medical and herbalists of one’s own guild.”
After understanding the basics, Liu Tian asked: "What are your plans in the future?"
Zhou Chihong said seriously: "Go back to the guild to lay a solid foundation. There are books in the library that I have not read before. I want to learn them first, and then I want to follow the teacher's instructions and travel around, practice and learn medicine. "
Yang Chucheng said embarrassedly: "I have the same plan. Although everyone is also in the third level, I was admitted because of the strange book given by my eldest brother and good luck. And my knowledge is mainly a herbalist, so it will take a while Take the time to learn all the basics of an array master until you can match your own silver-white third-level robe."
"You are in the same city and remember to help each other. Chi Hong should give more advice to others. If you don't understand anything, ask others. Chu Cheng, I believe in your ability. You might as well see if you can combine the plant medicine with the formation. The Dharma merges together!”
The two accepted it humbly and said in unison: "Brother, aren't you in the same town as us?"
"I'm not here, so I should leave the capital and travel to Canghai. After all, the world is so big, it's beyond imagination."
His answer also made the two people feel different. They both thought that the eldest brother would continue to develop in the capital.
Wei Jing noticed their doubts and asked to explain: "Do you think I will settle down and develop in the capital?"
Yang Chucheng nodded and said: "The capital is, after all, at the feet of the emperor, and it is also the gathering place for goods from all over the country. It is also the leader in terms of flow of people and news."
Zhou Chihong was not good at words, but he nodded vigorously and said: "Stay!"
Wei Jing looked at the scenery outside the window, slowly drank the wine in his hand and said: "You guys have never asked me about my family background. In fact, I was born in the Liu family in Caoyuan City, and I am the son of the head of the family. But when I was thirteen years old, my father After his disappearance, his second uncle took over as the head of the family.
At that time, I was even driven to live on the periphery of my family. I left home when I was eighteen years old. Although I just felt it, I believed that my father was not dead, so I was on the way to find him.
But my second uncle didn’t think like that, so my existence was a thorn in his flesh. He couldn’t go too far in the family. What he didn’t expect was that I had given up everything in the family and he still wouldn’t let me go, so he later became a doctor. The guild meets you. "
