Chapter 159: Success is also very dark, defeat is also very dark
After the little episode, Zhu Xiaopang embarked on the journey again.
I ran all the way and finally arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai at the time of Xu.
Zhu Pengtao had never traveled far before, and thought that Wutai Mountain was a bare mountain with sects to practice. After coming, he realized that it was called Wutai Mountain, and it could actually be called Wutai Town. At the foot of the mountain is a county town as big as Qishan County. Standing on the streets of the town, you can look up and see the high Wutai Mountain. Even at this time, it is so brightly lit, and it turns out to be a big brand.
Zhu Pengtao was walking on the street for a while and was about to find an inn to leave Dahei behind first, and then immediately went up the mountain to deliver a letter.
At the most prosperous intersection of the town is an inn and restaurant. Because it is too late at night, you can only see the word "inn" through the lanterns hanging at the door. Fortunately, the inn is quite large and will not close at night.
"Waiter, open a room for me. Remember to feed my horse the best feed!" Zhu Xiaopang said and threw a tael of silver over.
The waiter took the money and looked at the rich man who gave the money. Seeing him walking for a long distance, he had a sword on his waist, he quickly agreed: "Okay, the food here is excellent, and we will definitely not let you down, the BMW!"
After Zhu Pengtao finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. The little brother hurriedly called Zhu Pengtao: "Celebrity, do you still have to go out tonight?"
Zhu Xiaopang couldn't wait for a moment. If he wasted a moment of extra time here, the sect would be approaching a dangerous moment. He went up the mountain overnight to ask for a meeting with Taoist Master Xuanjian of Mount Wutai.
"I have something to do, just feed the horses for me." Zhu Xiaopang didn't stop after saying that, and his fat back disappeared into the night.
After Zhu Pengtao left, Xiao Er's eyes turned around a few times and led Zhu Pengtao's big black towards the backyard stable.
When walking past the main entrance, the man in Taoist suit sitting in the inn eating peanuts frowned. It seemed that he had seen the horse somewhere, so follow and take a look!
He grabbed the sword and stood up and walked towards the stable. The shopkeeper who was standing at the counter to settle the score saw the man going to leave, so he hurriedly walked up and asked, "Young Master Ping, where are you going so late?"
The young man replied, "I just saw a very familiar horse. I went to the stable to see it. It might be an acquaintance." He stopped after taking two steps, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, the junior brother who is patrolling is back later. Just tell them that I will go out to do something and reassure them."
The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, no problem, young master, don't worry!"
The young man named Mr. Ping, who was the shopkeeper, left the inn and walked around the main entrance to the stable behind. When he arrived at the stable, he saw that his second brother was feeding the black horse for the black horse. The more he looked at the horse, the more familiar the horse seemed. He thought for a long time with his sword in his eyes, and a sharp light suddenly appeared in his eyes. It was already half a year ago that he had memories of this horse.
"Little brother, is this horse from the guest just now?" asked Mr. Ping.
The waiter turned around and quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Ping, this horse was handed to me by the guest officer just now."
"What about others? Is it a accommodation? And tell me about that person's figure and appearance!" said Mr. Ping.
Xiao Er's eyes turned around and thought for a while and said, "The guest officer is a fat man, with a sword on his waist. As soon as he threw down the horse, he said he wanted to go out for business. It seems that it is still important."
Is he a fat man?
Young Master Ping lowered his head and said nothing, that's not that person. But why was this horse stolen in the hands of a fat man? And it was all midnight, so why did he go out to do something?
"Okay, it's okay for you." Mr. Ping felt more and more that something was wrong. Why was the man's horse in the hands of a fat man? He hurried out at night... There must be something strange about this matter!
"Okay, young master, go slowly." The waiter was also very enthusiastic about Mr. Ping. Not to mention the waiter, even the people in the town were very enthusiastic about the people on Mount Wutai.
In the past, there were only a few families at the foot of the mountain. You should know that in this era, there were chaos and wars. When you encounter a war, you would be arrested. If you go to the battlefield, you would be dead and die. Ten years ago, the killing god Bai Qi of the Qin State slaughtered 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State, but now I still feel scared when I think about it. The fathers of many of them died in that war and became posthumous sons.
The moral concepts on Mount Wutai are powerful sects. The masters of the Taoist temple often go down the mountain to clear the bandits and robbers around them. Over time, everyone knows that this is a stable place, and they move here scatteredly from other places, gradually forming a village and a small town.
As the Taoist temples gathered more and more, they also began to select young boys with good roots from the crowd to go up the mountain to learn martial arts.
When they heard about learning martial arts, their parents regarded the heads of the Taoist temple as gods to rescue them. They would not be bullied with kung fu, and would not die if they encountered bandits. Learn to learn! There is also free food and accommodation, which can be said to be a rebirth of their parents.
Moreover, Taoist temples will send disciples down the mountain to patrol every day to protect the public security of Wutai Town.
This is something that the government cannot control. They are originally a group of refugees gathered and are taken in by morality. The farmers and merchants earn 20% of the money they earn every year, which is half less than the 40% of the court. Moreover, the morality is a sect in the martial arts world, and the government is not easy to send people to manage it, so this has completely become a private territory of morality.
In such a place where shelter is sought and peace, if anyone comes to cause trouble, the residents in the town will be the first to refuse to agree!
Everyone was even more enthusiastic about the disciples of Taoist temples, going down the mountain to do business, including food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Young Master Ping is the elder's personal disciple, with a respectful status, and everyone respectfully called him "Young Master".
If Lin Luo had the opportunity to come to Mount Wutai, he would definitely applaud this unique business model. He would be the king of the land. This territory is completely autonomous! All tax payments are controlled in his own hands. No wonder these sects are well-managed and are becoming more and more prosperous.
"Why is this people's goal to go out at night? "The Wutai Town has only one focus, that is, the moral concept on the mountain, and the rest is a small town for ordinary people. He has lived here for more than ten years, and everyone is quite familiar with it and nothing will happen.
We have to hurry back to the sect and let everyone beware of it!
Young Master Ping frowned slightly and ran quickly towards the mountain, hoping to intercept the sneaky person in the road.
After Zhu Xiaopang came out, he walked towards Mount Wutai in the dark.
Looking at the foot of the mountain, it seemed to be quite close. Unexpectedly, the mountain was a hundred feet high and had more than a thousand steps. He was a steamed bun man, panting.
"Huhu, this is simply not something that humans do. I don't know how disciples of moral values go up and down the mountain every day." Zhu Xiaopang turned out to have an objection to the stairs of Lingyun Sect up the mountain. He felt too tired. Now that he has seen the thousand-story steps of moral values, he will definitely shut up in the future.
"Thief, I've really made me chase you!" A voice suddenly appeared behind Zhu Xiaopang.
