Chapter 701
Arriving at Mount Hua, the first thing is to visit the two teachers, Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun. Bai Lang was still expecting Yue Buqun to call him "Senior"—in the imperial examination, there is no father, son, teacher, or student, and the one who achieves is first. As a result, this hypocrite Yue Buqun actually pretended to be stupid and didn't call him, and Bai Lang didn't squeeze this middle-aged gentleman—this person is now the head of the Huayin Academy, and the Mount Hua Sect collectively transferred to the academy. The disciples accepted before who could learn literature had already started to learn literature, and those who couldn't learn had already been arranged to work in various shops and manors that had invested.
The Mount Hua Sect is now quite prosperous. When Bai Lang arrived, he heard the sound of reading in the courtyard, and at least a hundred children were introduced to study and practice martial arts. After entering the door, these children stood up one after another and arched their hands with other Mount Hua disciples, "Senior Brother Bai." Bai Lang also arched his hands but didn't answer. For these few days, he had been accepting the banquets of the Huayin County elders and local squires, and even people from Xi'an Prefecture came to visit him.
Even the military officials in the nearby military guards came up to set up relationships with thick faces. Of course, they felt intimate as soon as they saw Bai Lang. This appearance is definitely a warrior, not to mention that Bai Lang's deeds in Datong have been spread out at this time. This person is brave and unparalleled in the world, and is indeed a first-class fierce general, probably the first person in the Great Ming since the King of Kaiping, Chang Yuchun. After Yue Buqun tested them, he recommended three people to Bai Lang.
Bai Lang accepted three junior brothers. He didn't ask how Linghu Chong was—the junior sister was still angry, and his teacher Ning Zhongze looked bad, so she should be very worried. In fact, in Bai Lang's view, Yue Buqun's worry about Linghu Chong was greater than his anger, "After all, he was raised since childhood, this Linghu Chong is really..." The three junior brothers were not old. Although their academic performance was average, their wealth and grain calculation were quite good, and their document work was also okay.
Bai Lang asked, and these three were actually from the clerk families of Huayin or Xi'an Prefecture. This kind of thing should be a family inheritance—they gave Huayin Academy a lot of money, no wonder Yue Buqun recommended them to Bai Lang. These three families must have contributed a lot of money, land, and shops—because Bai Lang is a central unit establishment... During his stay in Huayin County, Bai Lang returned to Mount Hua again, and he found that Old Yue really borrowed the original Mount Hua place to Feng Buping and the others to open the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
Of course, the ancestral tablet was not given to them. Siguo Cliff seemed to have been told to Feng Buping and the others—from Bai Lang's feeling, it seemed that Feng Buping was actually a friend of Yue Buqun in the past. They should be friends when they were young, probably just because of the teacher later, they became enemies. Cheng Buyou, the dead head, was really an enemy with Yue Buqun. The gossip Bai Lang overheard—of course, it was overheard from the mouths of other Five Mountain old gossips—seemed to have proposed to Ning Zhongze back then, wanting to marry Ning Zhongze.
"It turns out to be a love rival. No wonder Old Yue and him were performing low-level quarrel projects with eyebrows not like eyebrows and eyes not like eyes back then." Bai Lang thought, anyway, Cheng Buyou died without marrying a wife, and he was buried on Mount Hua after he died. It is said that Old Yue also gave him a good coffin.
There is still no trace of the old man Feng Qingyang on Siguo Cliff. Bai Lang feels that this old man has also entered the innate state, not counting himself, Feng Qingyang is the first expert of the Five Mountain Sword Sects. It is not difficult for such an expert to avoid the sensing of another expert, and Bai Lang has no intention of forcing Feng Qingyang out—this old man is probably quite compatible with Linghu Chong.
Bai Lang stayed on Siguo Cliff for a while, and went to see the cave again. "The ten elders are indeed trash, no wonder they were cheated in and killed." The picture on it is still the same. Bai Lang had already seen it before, and it was just like that when he looked at it again.
Leaving the mountain to say goodbye to the Mount Hua Sect leader Yue Buqun and teacher Ning Zhongze, Bai Lang took three clerks and four Brocade Guards and left. He had to go to Hebei to mobilize the border army to level Black Wood Cliff. This ghost place of Black Wood Cliff is not suitable for people to stay. It relies on hanging baskets to go up and down. The Ming Cult also spent a lot of effort to build pavilions and buildings on the top of the mountain. "There are water storage pools on the top of the mountain, and there are also stored food. It won't be besieged to death for a while. And a strong attack makes no sense. After the hanging baskets are burned, the army can't go up at all."
This place is called a "dead land," easy to defend and hard to attack, and of course, it can't be fought out at all. In a military sense, it makes no sense. Bai Lang feels that it seems that only martial arts experts can force an attack with lightness skills. He let the Brocade Guards and clerks return to the capital's government office—that's right, Bai Lang has a government office. There is a small government office in the Ministry of Rites, but it doesn't work. The real government office is in the Brocade Guard, which is combined with the Brocade Guard. This is the Emperor's decree. The Ministry of Rites is also helpless. Besides, the Ministry of Rites government office is small, and the Brocade Guard has a large open space.
In fact, it encroached on the land of the Five Military Governor's Office and borrowed their house to work. This government office not only has the Brocade Guard, but also the Ministry of Justice. Bai Lang, as a director, can only order the clerks of the Ministry of Rites. The Brocade Guard is "listening to suggestions," and it can listen to his orders or not. The Ministry of Justice's cooperation is relatively better. Major matters are listened to, but the personnel power does not belong to Bai Lang.
Therefore, with Bai Lang's peerless martial arts to suppress, at least the Brocade Guards are relatively obedient now, otherwise, it would be Bai Lang's temper to talk to the Commander. Bai Lang sent them back, and he prepared to go to Black Wood Cliff to see. With his martial arts, he naturally felt that he could come and go freely. Bai Lang was swaggering and didn't make any disguise—that is, he changed his official robe, wore ordinary short clothes, and wore a big hat, so he swayed in the town under Black Wood Cliff.
There is also a small town under this Black Wood Cliff, which looks no different from ordinary Ming towns, but in fact, this is the center of the Ming Cult. Most of the town is ordinary people who only know that this is a "Taoist temple" on Black Wood Cliff, and the cult members occupy a small half of the population. These are guards and servants of the experts on the mountain. Many Ming Cult experts themselves live under the mountain, and only some "Heavenly Kings" and the "Cult Leader" live on Black Wood Cliff.
Bai Lang walked into the town and was stared at for the first time—this big man with a good appearance, like a peerless fierce general, could not be ignored. This person swaggered directly toward Black Wood Cliff. This is too much not to put the Ming Cult in his eyes, right? So is it very likely that this is just a "newborn calf"? At least the Ming Cult members didn't seem to feel the strength of his martial arts? Of course, some people looked at Bai Lang and immediately shrank back home, and some slipped out of the town without a sound.
Bai Lang walked on the road, and suddenly he saw four people. Among these four people, he immediately recognized two of them, and immediately showed a ferocious smile, "Do you really think my two eyeballs are fake?"
