The so-called "village" can refer to a manor on the mountain or a village in the mountain.
It is also possible... just like Wujian Villa, it refers to "a group of dispersed man-made buildings built in a large complex mountainous terrain."
What exactly does this look like?
Let's put it this way, have you fought in Alterac Valley?
The terrain is almost like this: when you pass through a man-made gate, there may be a hillside with no stairs behind you. Walk up this slope for a while, and then you will find a relatively flat open space. There is a school ground or several houses built on the ground. Looking around from this place, maybe within a radius of fifty meters, there are undulating mountain roads or cliffs. No other buildings can be seen. You have to go through another tunnel. Or you have to go around a mountain road to see another man-made building. It may be a canteen for eating, a sentry tower, or the residence of the owner of the villa, or the forbidden area of the villa... And between these buildings, what is the relationship between them? Whether it has to go uphill or downhill, in a straight line or on a curve, whether it takes two minutes or twenty minutes, is not certain, it all depends on the terrain.
How big is this place? In fact, the "village" part, that is, the place with man-made buildings, is also very limited. But if you include the "mountain" part, then the coverage of this "village" is very wide. Where it extends to, I'm afraid it will be a series of villages. The Lord cannot tell clearly.
This is called - mountains are connected to mountains, and villas are connected to villas.
For outsiders, it is easy to get lost if there is no one to guide you into this villa.
And "getting lost", especially getting lost in the mountains and forests, was a very dangerous thing in those days... Maybe if you got lost in the morning, you would be a corpse in the afternoon. As for you Whether he fell to death by himself, was bitten to death by a wild beast, or was plotted against him... it may not be clear.
Thus, people who travel around the world also understand that when coming to a place like Wujian Villa, you must be careful about everything. It is best to stay with the crowd and try not to act alone.
But there is one person who is not like this.
He naturally doesn’t like to act with others - you all came early, right? Then I'll wait until it's almost noon.
This person is Dugu Yong.
Duguyong is a very surly person. In our modern terms, this guy has very low emotional intelligence.
Even though he never likes to deal with people, he still often offends others.
Take yesterday as an example. After all the trash in the tavern was gone, Wen Yuzhai approached him very politely and struck up a conversation. What do you think he said in reply?
"I know you, but I don't want to talk to you anymore, so I'll say goodbye."
That is to say, Mr. Wen has a good temper, but if he had a bad temper, he would have to fall out with him on the spot.
As for Dugu Yong’s virtues... some people think he is a true hero and a true character; more people think he is arrogant, rude, and arrogant.There is no one in the middle, moody.
Of course, he doesn't care either way.
What Dugu Yong cares about is the same as what Lin Yuancheng cared about in the past.
He is also a man who seeks the Tao, pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship, and outside of his "Tao", everything else is unimportant.
If he judged that worshiping Xiao Zhun as his teacher was a necessary process for him to seek the Tao, then he would not hesitate to worship Xiao Zhun as his teacher.
As for whether people in the world would point to his back and say, "The young master of the dignified Jinling Sword King's Mansion is willing to go to Wujian Villa to be a disciple"... He doesn't care.
Some people may ask when they see this, why is this the same as the "past" Lin Yuancheng? What happened to Xiaolin "now"?
Damn it, wasn’t Lin Yuancheng dirty...oh no...changed after meeting Shuangxie?
If Lin Yuancheng had not met Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, then when he was thirty-five years old, he might have become a person similar to Duguyong.
That’s a long way off, let’s get back to the present.
This "Sword Discussion Conference" is scheduled to start at three quarters at noon, and the time for swordsmen to enter the village is limited to Chenshi and Sishi (that is, from 8 to 11 a.m. Fifty-nine minutes); as soon as noon arrives, the village gate will be closed again, and you will not be able to enter casually after that.
As for Dugu Yong, he waited until the end of the day...when the gatekeepers thought that no one would come again, he only showed up.
As soon as they saw him, the gang became nervous.
This guy is really not easy to mess with... Take the Wu Hongmao he killed yesterday as an example. He is also one of the oldest disciples in Wujian Villa, even if he is "Nine Heavens Sword" was always polite when meeting Wu Hongmao.
But when Dugu Yong faced Wu Hongmao, he did not hesitate and killed him at will, without holding back at all or considering the consequences.
Who can not feel embarrassed when facing such a person?
"Defying Dragon Sword, Dugu Yong." When Dugu Yong came to the mountain gate, he didn't say much, he just cupped his hand and gave his name.
"I have long admired your name...please..." The gatekeeper didn't dare to say anything. He responded and let him go with great respect.
Just after Duguyong entered, less than a minute later, he heard the sound of horse hoofs in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, two fast horses were seen arriving in front of the mountain gate. On the horseback were two "young swordsmen".
I think everyone has guessed that they are Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai who came overnight.
Today, they did not deliberately dress in tatters or robes. Instead, they each wore dark attire, with their hands, feet, and collars neatly packed.
Obviously, they have made preparations in advance to fight guerrillas in the mountains and forests... full of details.
"Ha~ha! Just in time, noon has not yet arrived." Sun Yixie said, then turned over and dismounted,And he smoothly pulled out a sword he had bought half a month ago from under the saddle.
Before he finished speaking, Huang Donglai also got off his horse, stepped on his luggage and baggage diagonally, took the village sword, led the horse two steps forward, and said to the gatekeeper: " Brother, is it too late for us to enter the village?"
The guy glanced at them and said coldly: "It's quite late... but I don't know if you two are..."
"I'm in Ye Gucheng." Huang Donglai answered.
"Xiamen Chuixue." Sun Yixie said.
When the gangster heard this, he thought to himself: What is the origin? I've never heard of them... But seeing as these two people are so young, I guess they're not very famous swordsmen, so it's normal that I haven't heard of them.
So, he continued: "Okay, please... Hey, wait, the horse can't lead in."
Huang Donglai heard it: "Ah "Then where do you want us to tie our horses?"
"That's not my business," the man replied, "but if you want to go back to the nearby village to tie your horses, don't do it. I blame you for not reminding you... Noon is almost here, and when you come back, I may not be able to let you in."
As soon as Sun Yixie said this, he reacted immediately. , he immediately winked at Huang Donglai and said: "Oh... let's just forget about the horse, it's important to enter the village."
With that, he let go of the horse in his hand. He took the reins and walked towards the villa without even making any move to find a stake nearby to tie the horse.
Huang Donglai also understood what he meant, and just like him, abandoned his horse and moved forward.
When the gangster saw this, he smiled secretly in his heart, but still put on a very serious look on his face: "Hey, you two left the horse here, we don't care, when you come out If the horse is gone, don't ask us."
"I know." Shuangxi also pretended not to care and went inside.
When the two of them walked a little further, one of the few gatekeepers at the door immediately stepped forward, pulled up the two horses, and ran away in a flash.
Afterwards, he sold the two horses, and the money was naturally divided equally among the people present.
This kind of thing is called "branding" in the world; have you heard of the cross talk called "Rayang Car"? One of the paragraphs probably means: some rickety coachmen deliberately delay the delivery of people who are rushing to the train station, waiting until you are almost too late to deliver the goods to you, and then deliberately collect the money. Pretend that you can't find change, and in the end you have no choice but to give him the whole change as a tip.
Similar things happened a lot in the past. People just saw that you had something that couldn’t be delayed, and then they took advantage of you overtly or covertly, usually by taking your things or charging you more. And there's nothing you can do.
Sun Yixie understands this very well, but right now he is too lazy to waste time arguing with these people.
Walking around in the world, sometimes it’s easier to get things done by pretending to be stupid than by showing off...
Sun and Huang just sneaked in before the villa closed and walked quickly along an uphill road.
It just so happened that Dugu Yong, who had entered the village a moment earlier than them, was walking not far in front of them. When he heard footsteps approaching from behind, Dugu Yong also looked back casually.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. At first glance, Dugu Yong actually took the initiative to say something to Shuang Xie.
"Wait a minute." As soon as Duguyong said these words, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were also stunned.
"Brother, what advice do you have?" Huang Donglai, who was standing closer to him, responded.
Dugu Yong frowned, stared at Huang Donglai up and down twice, and finally said: "Little brother, is your surname Huang?"
