Dongming Continent is vast and boundless, with countless aristocratic families and sects dominating the area.
Among them, Tianmen, which is now as prosperous as fire and oil, and the four traditional sects in the past are naturally the most important. The other various sect forces are entrenched in the local area and are fighting endlessly.
Some peaceful sects did not want to get involved in worldly battles and were unwilling to be controlled by other major forces, so they chose to hide.
Between the mountains and forests, the wind of seclusion.
Of course, these sects will not have much power, and many are even passed down by a single lineage, but they often have their own unique skills to ensure that they are passed down from generation to generation.
Ziwei Sect is such a sect.
According to legend, the Ziwei Sect is best at counting stars and predicting fate. Its descendants often wander around the market, leaving behind various legendary stories.
Such legends are almost magical, most of them are absurd and cannot be verified.
But thanks to Shen Zhenqiu's massive strategy, he found a descendant of a family who had dealt with the descendants of the Ziwei Sect in Quanzhou City.
This thing is quite bizarre to say the least.
The person Shen Zhenqiu found was an ordinary family in Quanzhou City. He was originally unwilling to tell the secrets of his ancestors, but under the temptation of Shen Zhenqiu's huge sum of money, he finally couldn't help but tell the whole story.
Moreover, he also has an item left by the successor of Ziwei Sect as evidence.
Shen Zhenqiu was shocked and knew that what he said was quite important, so he immediately brought him to Feng Ziyue.
Feng Ziyue saw that this man looked very honest, but his clothes were shabby, and he seemed to be very poor, so he sold the stories of his ancestors for money, and also took out a thing as proof, which was quite good.
Believable.
But his story was really unbelievable. After hearing this, Feng Ziyue smiled bitterly at Ziwei Sect's actions.
It turns out that this man's surname is Zhang. His ancestor was originally a small clerk. He was not from the Guyun country, but from the Baiqiong country in the hinterland of the Central Plains. His family was poor, but he had a good appearance. Because his family had no money and he was over 20 years old,
Not married yet.
Once, when he went to Shangguan's home to deliver official documents, he was attracted by the young lady at home.
That young lady's heart was tied to him.
It's just that the young lady's father is also a well-known official in the local area, with a very high status, and his tutoring is very strict. The young lady knows that her love is difficult to repay, and she can't help but become depressed and ill, and is bedridden.
The father, who was an official, had such a daughter, whom he loved like a treasure. When he saw her sick, he couldn't help but become anxious. He consulted famous doctors from all over the country, but to no avail. When he was unable to do anything, he remembered that there was a nun in Baozhi Temple in the capital.
He can do calculations, know the past and the future, and he has great supernatural powers and can cure all kinds of diseases.
He was a Confucian scholar and did not believe in such things about strange powers and gods. However, he was urgently ill and sought medical treatment. He immediately went to invite this nun to see a doctor.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ni was traveling abroad, and instead of seeing her, she met one of her young disciples.
This little nun claimed to be able to cure the young lady's illness, so the family had no choice but to invite her back.
The little nun looked at the young lady for a long time, took her pulse, and finally smiled, stepped back, and said a few private words to the young lady. Immediately, the young lady's body was half healed.
It turned out that she had sensed the young lady's thoughts and said that she could help her realize her wish. The young lady was overjoyed and her illness was mostly cured. She was able to get out of bed that day and even had a rare meal of half a bowl of porridge at night.
Her father was overjoyed and immediately left the little nun to continue her treatment.
The little nun didn't want to stay for a long time, so she only left a purple jade cup for the young lady, asking her to take some time to get the hand washing water from the scribe named Zhang, drink it, and her wish would be fulfilled.
The young lady was so anxious that she finally expected the scribe named Zhang to come to her house to copy again. She immediately sent her maids to get water for the scribe to wash his hands and secretly took a cup.
After the young lady got it, she couldn't wait to drink it. There was nothing abnormal at the time, but she didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant a month later.
A few months later, my belly became bigger and I couldn’t hide it from anyone.
His father was furious. His daughter never interacted with outsiders, how could she be pregnant? Under questioning, the young lady had to say that the child was the scribe named Zhang.
This matter was a big scandal. Her father was at an important moment of promotion, so how could it be spread out? So he couldn't help but force his daughter to marry a clerk named Zhang.
On the day of the wedding, during the bridal chamber night, the young lady was so bored that she vomited out a puddle of water. Her protruding belly disappeared immediately. When the clerk named Zhang heard about this, he was greatly surprised.
Originally, this matter should have been settled here, which can be regarded as a good thing that we got what we wanted and finally got married.
Unexpectedly, they were only married for three days, and the nun hurried back and brought the little nun to apologize.
It turns out that they are descendants of the Ziwei Sect, and they are quite good at planning and can predict the future. However, the clerk named Zhang and the young lady are not husband and wife, but this little nun plays tricks on them and makes them do good things. In this way,
It means that the original blessings are also broken.
In the future, they will be poor and helpless, and their descendants will live in foreign lands. This is actually the result of today's bad luck.
At that time, the scribe named Zhang and the young lady were newly married, so naturally they didn't think anything of it. A few years later, the young lady's father passed away, and the scribe surnamed Zhang was a mediocre person and had no great talent, so he eventually lost all his family property.
After finding a job in Izumo Country, he came south and later settled here. His children and grandchildren flourished, but he was always poor and had no fortune.
The descendant took out the object, which was the purple jade cup that the young nun gave to the young lady.
Feng Ziyue took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw the word Ziwei engraved on the bottom of the cup. There was nothing supernatural about it. It was just that the energy of heaven and earth in the cup was disordered, and it seemed that it had been adjusted by some magic method.
This news is quite reliable.
Feng Ziyue pondered for a while, then rewarded the man with gold as promised and let him go back.
"Sir, although we have been apart for a long time, since this descendant of the Ziwei Sect once placed orders in Baozhi Nunnery, if you go to inquire about the information, you may be able to gain something."
Shen Zhenqiu had been busy these days and finally got the news, and he was very happy.
Feng Ziyue nodded, "You are right. In that case, I will go to Baiqiong Kingdom in the next few days. Boss Shen, will you continue to help me find out the news in the past few months?"
The fleet will be anchored in the port for half a year. During this period, the merchants can naturally engage in activities, sell and purchase goods. Shen Zhenqiu has already sold the jasper coral. He does not want huge profits. He just found a reliable person to collect some at a fair price in the sea.
Goods that are easy to sell on the mainland naturally have a lot of free time.
It just so happened that he also planned to travel around, see the scenery of Dongming Continent, and get information for Feng Ziyue, which would kill two birds with one stone.
"If you dare to disobey me, I will naturally continue to gather all kinds of information for you."
Shen Zhenqiu agreed immediately.
Feng Ziyue nodded and waited until his injury recovered a little before going to bid farewell to Chen Shijie.
In the past few days, Chen Shijie was feeling very satisfied. He bet on a shop that day and used Feng Ziyue as his fleet escort. He originally wanted to find a rare commodity, so even if he risked offending the merchant alliance, he still wanted to get close to this thick leg.
.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ziyue gave him a surprise just after entering Hong Kong.
The four masters were killed on the spot, so that the people in the branch didn't even dare to fart, and they didn't even ask for details - that's all. In the past few days, the city lord's mansion and the Xiao family have been fawning over each other in an endless stream.
Absolutely.
When Chen Shijie usually does business, he only asks for help in a low-key manner. Even Lu Yuan can't reach him, let alone the Xiao family.
Now it was the other way around, because Feng Ziyue refused to see these people, so they tried their best to curry favor with the people on the boat. As the owner of the boat, Chen Shijie was naturally regarded as their honored guest.
How could he, an acquired martial artist, have ever been treated like this? Although his family was wealthy, compared with these established families, especially the Xiao family, which had masters of breaking the void, it was far behind.
As for the gifts they gave, they were even more valuable. Chen Shijie had never made so much money after doing business for so many years, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
In this world, warriors are respected, and no matter how successful a businessman is, without the foundation of a warrior, it will be nothing at all.
He owns sixteen ships and is considered a wealthy man, but a master can make him lose everything in an instant at any time - just like in Quanzhou Port, when the Wang family was about to establish its power, he had no power to resist at all.
Lose your life, lose everything.
But when you get close to Fengziyue, everything changes.
When he heard that Feng Ziyue was leaving, although Chen Shijie knew that it was a matter of course, he still felt a little disappointed.
"No... I wonder where you are going, sir? Can you come back?"
Feng Ziyue couldn't help but laugh when he looked at him like that.
He helped himself solve the identity problem, but he also saved his life at the port. In the past few days, the ship owner used his name to make money that he would never make in his life.
The reward is enough.
However, seeing that this man was very knowledgeable, Feng Ziyue nodded, "I want to find something. If the time is right, I can take your ship back."
Chen Shijie was overjoyed and naturally fawned over him. When asked if he wanted to make any arrangements on the way, Feng Ziyue shook his head and refused.
Now that he was on land, he rushed to the Baiqiong Kingdom without stopping to see if the news was useful. If not, he would have to ask around again. There was no time to waste time on land.
When Feng Ziyue was about to leave, the marriage between Xiao Shen and Mr. Lu had just concluded. He brought his bride to visit Feng Ziyue again. This time he was quite sincere and frank, as if Feng Ziyue had not.
I can't resist the robbery.
This generous show of weakness made Feng Ziyue reluctant to refuse, so he reluctantly met with them.
Na Lu's mother-in-law has an average appearance and big hands and feet. She is indeed a woman who grew up by the sea and is used to doing things. Although her martial arts skills are not as good as Xiao Shen's, her knowledge and judgment are better than her husband's.
"If you want to leave, sir, be careful on the way. People from the Wang family are vicious and vicious, and they will definitely think of some vicious plan to harm you!"
When she heard that Feng Ziyue was leaving, her face tightened and she warned him.
