Hua Bushi looked at Sima Rulan with a surprised expression.
When he was beaten by passers-by on the street that day, Sima Rulan also took action to pull away the crowd to save him. However, at that time, Hua Bushi had no time to escape, and he had no time to take a closer look at Sima Rulan's martial arts. Until just now she
After knocking down Xiong Tiannan, Hua Bushi realized that this young lady under twenty years old actually knew the "seventy-two unique skills" of Shaolin!
It is said that the "Seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin" were created by Patriarch Bodhidharma and have been passed down in the sect for thousands of years. They are also the basis for the Shaolin Temple to dominate the famous martial arts sects in the Central Plains. These peerless martial arts are not available to ordinary Shaolin disciples.
Even if you have the qualifications to practice, it is extremely difficult to practice it, but as long as you master one of the unique skills, you can become a first-class master in the martial arts world.
Hua Bushi had seen Master Yuanguang of the Shaolin School perform the secret power of "beating cattle across the mountain" once on Wanyi Island. Master Yuanguang is the host of "Dushan Hall", one of the eight Shaolin halls. Regardless of martial arts or
His status ranks among the top ten in the Shaolin Temple, and he is not young anymore. Sima Rulan is just a girl under the age of twenty, but she has also practiced Shaolin stunts, which is really impressive.
Bu Shi was quite surprised.
Among the young women Hua Bushi has seen in his life, there are two people with the best martial arts qualifications and the highest martial arts skills. One is Yang Jiangyi, and the other is "Shuang Ji", one of the "six special skills" of Wu Sheng Lao Mo's sect.
"Zhuo Yiwen, but now he has met the third person, the eldest lady of the city lord of Okura City in front of him.
Among the three, Sima Rulan is the youngest, and her experience in facing enemies is naturally not as good as the other two. However, she practices the most authentic Shaolin martial arts. If the three of them fight against each other, they may not be able to win.
Will lose to Yang Jiangyi and Zhuo Yiwen.
Sima Rulan saw that the eldest young master was staring at her intently, and she couldn't help but blush and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Only then did Hua Bushi come back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The Shaolin stunts performed by Miss Lan'er really opened Hua Bushi's eyes. He forgot about his feelings for a moment. How rude."
Sima Rulan said curiously: "It turns out that you, a money-loving and stingy person, besides training dogs to make money, actually know martial arts. You can also see that I am using Shaolin stunts, which is an eye-opener for me!"
Hua Bushi said sarcastically: "The eldest lady is joking. I am considered a member of the martial arts world, and I know a little bit about the martial arts of various sects."
Sima Rulan smiled and said: "Okay, now the annoying person has left. You can arrange a place for me. From today on, I will live here!"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it would be better for Miss Lan'er to listen to Brother Xiong and return to the city lord's palace. Now there are many unpleasant rumors in the city, although Hua Bushi doesn't care
, Miss, why do you have to do this and leave an excuse for those rumors?"
Sima Rulan looked into Hua Bushi's eyes and said, "Mr. Hua, are we friends?"
Hua Bushi said: "Thanks to Miss Lan'er for being so considerate, of course we can be considered friends."
Sima Rulan said: "When you encounter difficulties and ask me for help, you treat me as a friend. Just now Lan'er asked you for silver, it was just a joke with you, a money-obsessed ghost. Loyalty comes first in the world, friends
If you are in trouble, you should do your best to help me. What's wrong with me staying in the Veitian Tower?"
This delicate lady of the city lord seemed to have turned into a righteous knight in an instant. Judging from her stern expression, she seemed to be willing to go out of her way to save her friends without even frowning.
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly and said: "But living in our Huitian Tower will definitely damage Miss Lan'er's reputation. Although the rumors are unfounded, they can also hurt people. Please think twice."
Sima Rulan looked at Hua Bushi, suddenly stopped smiling, and said sternly: "Actually, I didn't stay in Weitian Tower just to help you."
Hua Bushi said in astonishment: "Oh? What did Miss Lan'er do?"
Sima Rulan said: "When dad left the island, he asked me to protect Okura City, but now the city is in chaos. Not only are there a group of bullies like He Xilou who bully others and extort merchants, but now there are also people openly attacking at night. Murder, if Lan'er can't capture and eradicate the killer, how can I explain to my father when he returns to the island?"
Hua Bushi said: "Actually, there are bullies and villains everywhere in this world. Even if there are one or two in Okura City, it is not the fault of the city lord's palace. How can we blame Miss Lan'er."
Sima Rulan said: "Mr. Hua, do you know what dad's purpose was when he built Okura City?"
Hua Bushi said: "Sima City Lord controls the 'Wanjintang'. It is assumed that he built this city in the South China Sea in order to make the ocean trade between Middle-earth and the Western countries more convenient."
Sima Rulan shook her head and said: "Actually, ocean trade is just a means to make Okura prosperous, not the original purpose of establishing this city. Back then, my father took my mother and I out to sea to explore the Whale Island. In order to covet the treasure, before setting off, my father had already decided to use all the treasure he obtained to help the homeless people and poor farmers in various areas south of the Yangtze River."
Hua Bushi said: "Uncle can have such a compassionate heart, he is worthy of being a famous knight in the south of the Yangtze River."
Sima Rulan said: "My mother passed away due to an ambush. My father got the treasure in the secret cave, but he did not use it to help the poor as he had planned. It was only after he returned to Jiangnan that he discovered that the people were so poor. No matter how much money is used to give charity, it will not help, because their poverty is not due to lack of money, but to the current world."
What Sima Rulan said was a bit difficult to understand, but when Hua Bushi heard it, he understood it very well.
In today's great world, the court is corrupt, the emperor is fatuous, bandits are rising from all directions, the Manchu and Qing cavalry invade the Central Plains, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil, coupled with successive years of floods, droughts and natural disasters... all these disasters have created this Shura chaos in the world. The people are displaced, impoverished, and even have no protection for their property and life. How can this be changed by using some wealth to give charity?
Sima Rulan continued: "Dad once told Lan'er that today's troubled times in the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed by manpower, so he is determined to open up a place outside the world, a paradise where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Daddy will give what he has got All the treasures I have are used to build Okura City, in order to create an ideal paradise where there will be no disputes, plundering, and no crime and killing."
Hearing this, Hua Bushi's face was deeply moved.
He had always believed that Okura City was a stronghold for the ocean-going cargo trade of "Wanjintang". Sima Zhufeng spent tens of thousands of dollars to build this city just to amass more wealth. But when he heard what Sima Rulan said After saying this, Hua Bushi realized that the construction of this great sea city was due to Sima Zhufeng's compassion for the world, and that the paradise of this world pursued by Sima City Lord was actually related to the young master's own. The ideals are also similar, they are all aimed at reducing crime and killing in the world, but the methods used are different.
It was only now that he had sincere admiration for Mr. Mada, whom he met on the Xiangyue Mountain Road that day.
Sima Rulan added: "Dad's wish is also Lan'er's wish. Although dad is not in the city now, I will never let the killings happen in the city. As for the gossip on the streets, Lan'er doesn't care at all.
I will take it to heart!”
Hua Bushi stood up from the chair, bowed deeply and said: "The righteous deeds of City Lord Sima and Miss Lan'er really make Hua Bushi admire and feel ashamed. I would like to thank you in advance for your kindness in helping me!"
When he first met Sima Rulan, Hua Bushi thought she was just a little girl who didn't understand the world. But after the incident at He Xilou, he discovered that she was smart, witty, jealous of evil, and had a sense of justice. Until this time
, Hua Bushi truly understood this young lady of the city lord, and he also believed that the future lord of Okura City would definitely be this delicate-looking Miss Lan'er.
She possesses superb martial arts skills, is fair and decisive in dealing with matters, does not stick to trivial details, and has a benevolent heart. Even though she is a girl, she is not allowed to be a man in the Guo Kingdom. Who else is more suitable to be the Lord of Okura Castle than her?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Although the five-entry yard behind the building is not big, there are hired ones in the barking building.
There were only a dozen or so of my companions, so there was no shortage of room.
The residence that Hua Bushi arranged for Sima Rulan was a cross-yard on the east side. The two maids and ten guard soldiers from the city lord's palace who lived in the Veitian Tower with Sima Rulan were the maids.
In order to wait for the young lady to come, he and Sima Rulan lived in the same courtyard, while the soldiers were placed in the wing room in the front yard.
With the protection of so many people, the defense strength of Weitian Tower has been greatly increased. If the killer in black still dares to attack, he will not only be unable to gain favor, but also find it difficult to escape.
In this way, Hua Bushi can train the dog with peace of mind, and Sima Rulan feeds the princess every day. Watching Hua Bushi train the dog, it also saves the trouble of traveling back and forth from the City Lord's Mansion to the Barking Sky Tower.
The days passed by day by day, and in the blink of an eye it had been a month and a half since the dog training studio was officially opened, and it had been ten days since Sima Rulan moved to the Weitian Building.
The long-lasting haze and bad weather in the South China Sea has finally improved. The big storm is about to pass, the wind on the sea has become much lighter, and large ships can sail out to sea. This is great news. I believe it won’t be long.
, there will be ocean-going cargo ships arriving at Okura Island, and by then the cargo trade at the port, which has been stagnant for nearly two months, will become prosperous again.
There is only one month left before the annual "Zixiao Terrace Dog Fighting Conference".
In the days when the storm hit, the businessmen who had no business to do were extremely bored. Going to the Barking Tower to watch the dog training and discuss the scandals about the "evil dog master" Hua Bushi and the eldest lady of the city seemed to have become Okura Castle.
Popular and fashionable things that everyone here does every day.
