Along the way, he told the two of them about the world of martial arts and things about warriors.
It completely subverted their understanding and made them full of curiosity about this new world.
Ye Fan drank two bottles of water and glanced out the window. The car had entered an ancient-looking town with buildings from the old era everywhere.
Although it is the off-season for tourism, there are still many tourists. Some of them are dressed differently from them and should be locals. There are also some who are wearing beautiful and world-famous clothes, and they should be coming in from outside like them.
The car was parked in a small courtyard.
This is the yard that the Xu family purchased in Jiangzhen.
After getting off the car, Old Man Xu and the other two people came over quickly.
"Senior Ye, Jiang Town is a tourist attraction. If you are interested, you can take a walk around." Old Man Xu said respectfully:
“This is an autonomous region and its economy is not as developed as that of Shanghai, but it has preserved many old buildings and is still worth a visit.”
Ye Fan walked in, and the others followed.
"Warriors never take the initiative to appear in the world. Are you not afraid that the world will know about holding a warrior competition here?"
Xu Yuewan walked in quickly and made tea.
Old Man Xu explained: "There is a boxing match here every year. It is an open ring match. It is legal and legal. Famous boxers from various places will be invited to participate. It can boost the economy and add some fun to Jiangzhen."
"The main industry of this place is tourism. It is also an autonomous region for ethnic minorities. There will be some ethnic cultural performances and so on. Boxing matches are just one of them, and boxing matches can cover up the news of the martial arts competition."
"There is a warrior competition every three years. I guess the local government also knows about it, but in order to increase income, they turn a blind eye. After all, the only people who know about the existence of warriors are wealthy people who come here to spend money and place bets.
For martial arts contestants, this is all consumption."
Ye Fan nodded.
The economy here is indeed not as good as Haizhou or even Jinling. It only retains many ancient buildings and can attract some tourists, but these tourists alone are not enough.
With a general understanding, he looked at Vulture and Hong Qing and said:
"Let me introduce you to Vulture and Hong Qing. I will bring them here to watch the battle between warriors. From now on, I will lead them into martial arts and practice with you in the future."
Old Man Xu looked at the vulture and said, "I know him. He used to hang out with Li Jiu. I also know that he used to be the envoy of the country."
The identity of the Zhenguo Envoy is not known to ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu actually knew the origin of the vulture.
Ye Fan continued: "These two are warriors, and this is the old head of the Xu family in Haizhou."
Senior Yao clasped his fists and said, "My name is Yao Qiang. You are all friends of Senior Ye. Just call me Mr. Yao."
Xu Yuewan clasped her fists and said, "My name is Xu Yuewan. Grandpa and Senior Yao both call me Wan'er. You should be older than me, so just call me Wan'er."
Ye Fan said: "When will the martial arts competition start? What are the rules of the competition?"
Old Man Yao said: "In order to avoid the general crowd, regular ring competitions are held during the day, and the warrior competition is held at night. The rules are very simple. Beat the opponent until he admits defeat. If he still refuses to admit defeat, he can be beaten to death. No matter life or death, he leaves the battlefield.
No one can be held accountable."
"The competition starts tomorrow. I still have some time today so I can look around. Wan'er, please take Senior Ye to see it."
Xu Yuewan stood up and said, "Yes!"
Ye Fan also stood up and said:
"Vulture, Hong Qing, if you stay here, if you have any questions, you can ask Mr. Yao. He has been walking in the martial arts world for many years and can know some more specific things."
Ye Fan and Xu Yuewan walked out.
When the two came to the ancient streets of Jiang Town, there were still a lot of people, many of them wearing ethnic minority costumes, and they would see some acrobatic performances from time to time.
The tourists watched it with gusto.
Looking at the tourists, many of them are couples, and there are also some middle-aged men with big belly holding beautiful young girls. You can tell at a glance that they are bringing mistresses.
"Senior Ye...oh no, Doctor Ye, if you want to know the history or stories of these ancient buildings, I can find a local to introduce them to us."
"No, just take a look." Ye Fan waved his hand. He did have a feeling for ancient buildings, but many buildings in scenic spots had no stories at all. Instead, they made up stories for people, which ruined the perception.
"It seems like a lot of people from out of town are coming, and they all look like they're rich."
Xu Yuewan looked around and saw many dignified middle-aged men holding Xiaomi on their arms and watching, and said:
"Many rich people will come to visit the ring competition, and those who know warriors will even come to participate. They come here to recruit bodyguards and thugs, but the rich come here to get to know warriors."
"Senior Yao was met by my grandfather here. He was still very young at that time. When wealth is accumulated to a certain level, he will want to enter another level. The world of martial arts is a desirable world, but those who do not have a certain level of strength
People don’t know the existence of this world.”
"If a family can have warriors, it will be a confidence. I am afraid that in the entire Jiangnan Province, our Xu family is the only one with warriors. We worship warriors from outside who are willing to keep in touch with our family and help each other."
"Actually, you don't have to do anything to make offerings. The main thing is to guide our family's talented disciples into martial arts and cultivate more warriors. These are the foundation and have become the family's trump card."
Ye Fan was a little confused and said:
"Warriors are devoted to martial arts and pursue a higher realm. You are rich in the secular world, and the power you have is of no use in the martial arts world. You are also a warrior. You should know that warriors talk about strength, the weak and the strong. The power of the secular world is of no use to the martial arts world.
They have no temptation at all, why should they help you?"
Xu Yuewan smiled and said:
"Dr. Ye, the reason why many warriors become worshipers must be due to mutually beneficial relationships. The reason why many warriors become warriors is also unintentional. After he becomes a warrior, he still has a family, and his family is secular.
If people want to develop, relying on a big family is the fastest shortcut."
"So, warriors become enshrined by the big family, and the big family helps the warrior's original family rise, which is mutually beneficial."
Ye Fan suddenly realized!
It turns out that there are only transactions in the adult world.
"Do you also have this kind of relationship with Yao Qiang?"
Xu Yuewan shook her head and said:
"No, I was still young when Senior Yao became a worshiper of our family. But according to what my grandfather said, Senior Yao came here to participate in the martial arts competition. After leaving Jiang Town, he was chased and killed. It was said that he was beaten to death by him.
The people who got up surrounded and suppressed him, but Senior Yao tried his best to escape, but he was already seriously injured. It was my father who saved him."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Didn't you say that if you leave the ring, you won't be held accountable?"
Xu Yuewan smiled and said: "These rules only apply in Jiang Town, and they do not apply outside Jiang Town, because Jiang Town has a strong man to suppress it, and no one dares to mess around. This will disturb the secular order. Once the government
If we get serious, there will be no place to hold such a competition in the future."
