Chapter 15
In this world, it is not a trivial matter to be a master. The relationship between master and apprentice is to some extent deeper than father and son. In history, there are many goals of father and son against each other, but master and apprentice are rarely heard of. If an apprentice betrays the master, no matter what the reason is, he will inevitably be despised by everyone. In order to tie the two dragons firmly to his chariot, Dugu Feng made the ceremony of receiving apprentices particularly solemnly, and also invited the number one master in Hangzhou to push the mountain hand Shilong, and Yin Kaishan, the leader of the local snake bamboo flower gang in Hangzhou, as a guest.
Dugu Feng was born in the Dugu family. He has recently become famous and has lost all the masters of famous masters. He is also challenging Master Jingnian Zen to retreat and is known as the first master of swordsmanship in the Central Plains. At this time, Shi Feixuan has not yet gone down the mountain, Wanwan is still practicing the heavenly demon skills in the Yingui Sect. Hou Xibai has just made his debut, Yang Xuyan has not yet become famous, and the younger generation of the Central Plains has not yet had any outstanding masters. Dugu Feng's comet-like rise has attracted most of the attention of the Jianghu. The news that she, the well-deserved young master of the Jianghu, was widely spread to the world as soon as it was heard. For a moment, the entire Yangzhou City martial arts practitioners were talking about it.
On the second floor of Juhu, the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou, there are more than ten platforms, half of which are full of people. Among them, there is a table next to the window. One of them is luxuriously decorated. You can tell at a glance that he is a young man with status. This man is about ten years old. He is handsome and elegant, but he has no weakness in his genius. He is straight and shoulders wide. Although he is dressed as a scholar, he gives people a sense of elegance and restraint. He is obviously well versed in superior martial arts.
As soon as the noble young man sat down, he heard the people sitting next to him discuss.
"Brother Ren, have you heard of it? Our Yangzhou City has been very lively these days!"
"Oh, is Brother Lu talking about the most famous person in the world recently? He defeated Li Shentong, the number one master of the Li family a while ago. Dugu Feng, known as the number one master of the younger generation, wanted to accept his apprentice?"
"Yes! Your brother doesn't know yet! This is not just the best master of the younger generation. Just as you went out to sea, news came from the world that Dugu Feng challenged Master Lekong of Jingnian Zen and escaped unscrupulously. It is said that this Dugu girl has practiced the family's Bluo Hongchen sword technique to an unprecedented level. Now some people have said that he is the first master of sword use in the Central Plains?"
"Ah, no! How old is Dugu Feng? He is actually known as the first master of sword use in the Central Plains? Humph, even if he starts from his mother's womb, how high is his skill? I'm afraid they will make the Dugu family brag about themselves!"
"That's true..."
The noble young master was just listening to it, but he heard a girl sitting in the same seat saying, "Fourth brother, you are also a master of sword use. Dugu Valve and my Song Valve have always been known as sword use. Now, the most outstanding master of sword use in the Dugu family is this sister Dugu. You are also the most powerful master of my younger generation. I wonder how compared with this sister Dugu?" The girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and healthy, her eyes are bright, as crystal clear as gems, and her whole body is full of the unique youthful vitality of a girl.
The noble young master smiled slightly and said, "Yu Zhi, you are too proud of the Fourth Brother. If the rumors in the world are true, Miss Dugu can beat Li Shentong and challenge Master Kong to retreat completely, but her cultivation is above me. Apart from my father, I am afraid that only Uncle Zhi can fight with him."
It turned out that this girl was Song Yuzhi, the daughter of Song Que, the leader of the four major clans Song Que, and that noble son was Song Shidao, the fourth son of Song Que. Today, the most famous ones in the world are the four clans, but if you can eat, you must be the Song family among the four clans.
The Song clan was the largest gentry in the south, and the clan leader "Tian Dao" Song Que was known as the world's number one master of sword use.
When Yang Jian unified the world and established the Sui Dynasty, he was concerned about the power of the Song clan and adopted a policy of appeasement against them and conferred Song Que as his scrutiny.
"Zhen Nan Gong", and Song Que also knew that the situation in the Southern Dynasty was destined, so he pretended to be a vain to pay tribute to the family. Among the four surnames, the other three surnames were mixed with Hu blood, and this only remaining southern tribes that maintained their prestige had always adhered to tradition and strictly prohibited the clans from intermarrying with people other than the Han people, so they were regarded as the orthodox Han people in the world.
When Emperor Wen Yang Jian was in power, he still did not dare to act rashly with Song Que's powerful talents and strategies. He still kept his low profile and devoted himself to cultivating hidden secrets. He was not allowed to do anything.
The great disaster. When Yang Guang ascended the throne, internal turmoil and external troubles, the government was corrupt, and rebellions broke out. The Song family became active again.
Song Que's younger brother, "Di Jian", is a master of swordsmanship in the world. The Uncle Zhi mentioned by Song Shidao refers to him. Song Zhi also wrote famous works on the world with his wisdom. He knew that the Sui Dynasty was still strong. If he raised his troops too early, he would become the first target to be attacked. Therefore, he advised his brother to temporarily suspend his anti-Sui Dynasty and instead engage in various profit-making transactions. The most profitable one was to transport private salt from coastal counties and counties to the inland through the Yangtze River to seek profits.
Song Shidao went out to practice this time and was responsible for private salt operations. At this time, the government of the Great Sui Dynasty gradually became corrupt. The Song family easily opened up all the links with their human forces in the south and openly trafficked sea salt. If any officials dared to investigate, they would deal with it with various intimidation methods, and secretly assassinated to achieve their goals. Even if the rebels from all over the country did not dare to offend the banner of the Song family, they would not dare to offend them to make such a strong enemy. Therefore, in recent years, the power of the Song family could not be kept from growing, and even supported some rebels with financial resources to weaken the power of the Sui Dynasty.
When Song Shidao came to Yangzhou, he was discussing some business with the Zhuhua Gang. However, as soon as he entered Yangzhou City, he heard the news that Dugu Feng was going to accept his disciples. Before leaving the mountain city, Song Shidao had read a lot of information about Dugu Feng. In fact, since Dugu Feng debuted and rose like a comet, he has shown outstanding swordsmanship talent at a young age and is expected to become a master in the future. Even Song Que, after hearing that Dugu Feng challenged Master Likong, who was in Jingnian Zen, also carved Dugu Feng's name on the Knife Hall. Song Shidao himself is a master of a few years old, and his martial arts cultivation is also chasing his uncle's sword Song Zhi in the Song family. Although he was quite modest in his sister, he did not think that he would be inferior to Dugu Feng because of his confidence as a master.
Song Yuzhi was quite longing for Dugu Feng: "It turns out that Sister Dugu is really so powerful, but she has won a sigh of relief for our daughter's family! Let the world know that our women are no less than men."
Song Shidao smiled and said, "Since Yuzhi is interested, I heard that Miss Dugu is taking disciples today. Why don't we go and visit Miss Dugu!"
Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi came outside a manor located in the south of Yangzhou City. They saw that the manor was full of traffic and bustling, and it was very lively. The noise of laughter could be heard everywhere, but most people blocked the door when they arrived at the door, and only those who brought invitations could enter.
Song Shidao and the others walked to the door and were also stopped by the guards: "Please show the invitation for two distinguished guests."
Song Shidao did not think it was offended and said loudly: "In Xialing, the Southern Song Shidao, I came to visit Miss Dugu with my sister."
The guard said in surprise: "It turns out that it is Mr. Song of the Song family. Please forgive me. The lady told me not to enter if I have no invitation today. Mr. Song came to visit me. I dare not be proficient. I also asked Mr. Song and Miss Song to wait for a while before I went to communicate with you."
Master Song was very kind and did not get angry when he heard this. He still said, "I've worked hard again."
Song Yuzhi nodded secretly when he watched from the side. A guard guard at the gate could act in moderation in this way, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of them. The Dugu family is indeed a family that is as famous as their Song family, and the family style is evident from this.
Song Yuzhi was about to talk to Song Shidao, but he saw Song Shidao exclaiming, "I didn't expect there was such a master among the guards of the Dugu family." However, Song Shidao noticed that although the guard was obscure all over his body, it was impossible to see the depth, but the sword energy that was about to burst out could not be concealed. Song Shidao is also a swordsman, and the other party's cold and shrill sword intent could not be hidden from him. Just relying on the sensing between the masters, Song Shidao knew that this was just a swordsman who was not inferior to him. He couldn't help but be surprised. You must know that such a master is enough to establish a sect in the world. Even in aristocratic families, he is still a guest squad. How could he be willing to be a small guard?
Song Yuzhi was also very surprised when she heard this. Although she noticed that the guard was extraordinary, she did not expect that this inconspicuous guard was actually a master who was not inferior to his brother.
