Chapter 46 Wudang Inheritance
After coming out of Wang Jiawu, Chen Lai couldn't help but say, "Gangmaster, why don't you take the five hundred taels of silver away? What if Wang Zheng ran away with the silver?"
Ouyang Ye smiled and said, "I learned about Wang Zheng's clan was in Wangjiakou and several nearby villages. He could run away, but he could not take his relatives and friends to run together. It is not worth doing this for 500 taels."
"As for why I have to keep the five hundred taels--don't you think it's more difficult to give up the five hundred taels that have been obtained than to reject the five hundred taels that have not yet been obtained?"
Chen Lai suddenly realized after hearing this, and couldn't help but nodded and said, "It feels like this. The gang leader is so clever."
Ouyang Ye had no feeling of Chen Lai's too "simple" flattery and strode towards the road back to Jitang Pass.
As soon as he returned to Jitang Pass, a turtle man from the most happy building sent Zhang Susu's more detailed information on the order of Hua Hao.
It turns out that Zhang Susu was also born to her father Zhang Fu after middle age, and the reason why Zhang Fu gave birth to her so late was that he was delayed by going to the world.
It is said that the Taiyi Xuanmen Sword of the Zhang family was taught by a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain. It is an exquisite sword technique left over from the Wudang Sect a thousand years ago.
However, the ancestors of the Zhang family learned sword moves, but did not learn the corresponding internal skills. As for the internal skills passed down by the Zhang family later, they were just a third-rate qi cultivation technique. The effect of practice was generally not mentioned, but it was still at the third level.
When Zhang Fu was young, he reached the second level of martial arts and began to explore the world. He knew that it was impossible to get the true teachings of those famous schools and sects when he was young, so he wanted to join the gang to see if he could find the opportunity to learn advanced internal skills.
Afterwards, he was unknown in the specific experience of his visit to the world. He only knew that when he returned to Babei twenty years later, he was only the third realm, and he no longer involved in the affairs of the world, and had a wife and daughter, so he lived in seclusion.
After learning about this, Ouyang Ye was able to finally solve some of his doubts.
For example, why did Zhang Susu dare to accept Zhang Susu in Babei? Since Zhang Fu is a master in the third realm, he doesn’t say a word in the Babei world, but no one dares to provoke him. If he says something and doesn’t let his daughter join the gang, which gang dares to disobey?
The Taiyi Xuanmen Sword actually has a connection with the Wudang Sect, which is definitely a powerful martial art.
Ouyang Ye knew that there was also a Wudang Sect in this world, but it was destroyed by a major disaster a thousand years ago. Later, although some people occasionally claimed to be the successor of the Wudang Sect, it was still difficult to become a climate and even more difficult to revitalize the Wudang Sect.
However, what Ouyang Ye was most surprised was that the Wudang Sect in this world actually regarded Zhang Sanfeng as his ancestor!
While on Earth, Ouyang Ye had learned in detail about the history of the Wudang Sect and knew that Wudang Mountain has been a famous Taoist practice since ancient times, and has been passed down from many martial arts schools.
The real Wudang Sect emerged in the early Ming Dynasty, and the well-documented ancestor was actually Zhang Songxi.
Zhang Sanfeng, who was appointed as his ancestor at Zhang Songxi, was a native of the Song Dynasty and also called the Sloppy Taoist. He was an image of a land real immortal that was widely circulated in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, just like Lu Dongbin and Chen Tuan who were circulated in the Tang and Song dynasties.
Originally, Ouyang Ye had some doubts about whether Zhang Sanfeng really existed.
But now there are legends about Zhang Sanfeng in both worlds, so he is sure that there must be Zhang Sanfeng, and it is not simple. Perhaps it is a person who travels through time like him, or perhaps it is really a "immortal" with supernatural powers.
Ouyang Ye was not too entangled in Zhang Sanfeng's legend, but was thinking about how to recruit Zhang Susu.
"No matter whether she wants money or something, you'll know it after a try."
With this idea, Ouyang Ye brought Chen Lai, Gao Qiang and four guards to Wuliu Village outside Jitang Pass to visit Zhang Susu.
After inquiring about the location of Zhang Susu's house from the villagers, when Ouyang Ye and others came to his house dozens of steps away, they heard an overly pleasant woman's voice coming from inside.
"What's the use of studying these miscellaneous books every day? With this time, it's better to find a way to make your private school more students, or to set up a stall in the town to write letters to others while you're free, so that you can earn more money and make our family live a little easier!"
"Does there be no rice or clothes at home?" The man's calm question also vaguely.
"Jiang Bai, in your eyes, you have food and clothing, it's a good day, right? You can't bear to buy your son if you want to have a meal of meat. Don't you feel guilty?" The woman's voice raised two points.
"I just ate the meat I just ate the day before yesterday. I want to eat it again today. The son of the landlord's family is not like this. I didn't blame you for spoiling him, but you blame me instead?" The man still said calmly, but he was not polite to refute the woman's words.
"What do you mean to spoil him? He usually makes mistakes, but whenever I want to hit him, you protect him? Besides, my son is growing up and practicing martial arts. Can it be better if he doesn't eat it?!" The woman seemed to be about to get angry.
The man seemed to have no idea at all, his tone was no longer calm, but he sneered: "Then don't let him practice martial arts, just study hard. At only a very old age, he yelled to be a hero all day long. Humph, people in this world are completely dark, where is there a hero?"
"You are disgusting my origin again, aren't you?" A clanging sound came from the courtyard, as if the copper basin was thrown. "Why don't you disgusted me when you take my dowry to take the exam again and again? You are ungrateful, and you have no conscience at all. My father was blinded at the beginning and actually fell in love with you. I really can't stand it. One day, one sword will stab you to death!"
Chen Lai, Gao Qiang and others outside the yard heard this and looked at each other. Maybe they didn't expect that there was a woman who threatened her husband like this. Ordinary women threatened by suicide, right?
At this time, footsteps were approaching quickly, the gate of the courtyard opened, and a thin man took a step forward as if he was running away, almost hitting Chen Lai by the door.
"Who are you?" After looking around the people, the man retreated to the yard and asked vigilantly.
Although Ouyang Ye looked like the man was powerless, his eyes were clear and his divine light was restrained. Combined with his refuting of women in the courtyard just now, he was obviously not an ordinary scholar.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be Zhang Susu's husband.
When Ouyang Ye's eyes accidentally flew over the books rolled up in his hand, he saw two words that were revealed but suddenly attracted his attention - the reversal of the sutra!
The man was very sensitive and immediately put his hand holding the book behind him.
Chen Lai had already greeted him at this time and said with a smile: "You are Jiang Xiucai, right? This is the leader of our Shenmu Gang. I'm here to talk to Mrs. Gui for something."
"Shenmu Gang?" Jiang Bai frowned when he heard the name and looked at Ouyang Ye again, and asked, "What's the matter with you looking for Zhujing?"
Wuliu Village is so close to Jitangguan Town, it is impossible for Jiang Bai to know that the Shenmu Gang is the leader. Since he knows that Ouyang Ye is the leader of the Shenmu Gang, Jiang Bai's expression is probably because he has a bad impression of the Shenmu Gang.
Therefore, even though Ouyang Ye's interest in Jiang Bai had exceeded Zhang Susu at this time, he was not ready to put a hot face on his cold butt, and said lightly: "It's useless to tell you about it, so I'd better ask your wife to come out."
"Hmph, it's such a bad guest." Jiang Bai snorted coldly and slammed the door.
Chen Lai glared and said, "What does this broken scholar mean?"
Ouyang Ye didn't expect Jiang Bai to be so thorny, or might he sprinkle the anger he had just been exposed to by Zhang Susu on them?
After a while of silence, he said, "Call directly and tell Zhang Susu what we are going to do."
"Okay!" Chen Lai responded excitedly and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Mrs. Zhang! Our gang leader is here to invite you to be the hall master!"
After Chen Lai called out, the gate of the courtyard opened again soon, revealing a slightly beautiful woman with evil eyes.
The woman was wearing a simple woman's bun on her head and a sword in her right hand. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked about thirty years old. She should be Zhang Susu.
She glanced at the people outside the door, and her eyes quickly settled on Ouyang Ye, and asked directly: "You are Ouyang Ye, are you? Do you really want to invite me to be the master of the Shenmu Gang?"
People with a hot temper are generally more straightforward, so Ouyang Ye was not surprised by Zhang Susu's words, and immediately nodded and said, "Not bad."
After receiving Ouyang Ye's affirmation, Zhang Susu smiled and said, "My martial arts has reached the third level. If you want to invite me, the resettlement fee must not be less than this."
While speaking, Zhang Susu raised two fingers with her left hand.
After hearing this, Ouyang Ye couldn't help but a glimmer flashed in his eyes - although he had guessed that Zhang Susu might be in the third realm, he was still a little surprised when he heard the other party say it in person.
It should be noted that there are only a handful of third-level warriors on the Ming side of Babei, but they never thought that there was one hidden beside Jitang Pass.
At this time, he was extremely glad that he was recruiting Zhang Susu himself. If other gangs were asked to recruit him, it would probably hinder the development of the Shenmu Gang in the future.
When he came to his senses, he smiled and said, "Okay, isn't it just two thousand taels, the third level value is the price."
This time, it was Zhang Susu's turn to show surprise.
Although she knew that the gang had a resettlement fee, she didn't know the market conditions. Therefore, her estimated price just now was actually two hundred taels...
