"Time: the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourteenth year of the Jiaqi period. Location: Chengdu Prefecture, Shu. Recorder: Xiaoqi Bustard Ghost of Jinyiwei, Inushan City, Japan District."

"The person I want to meet today is my former boss, Fan Wujiu, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards of Inushan City in the Japanese District."

In a wine shop that was not doing well, the madam was sitting in the corner, talking to herself in front of a piece of paper that was being recorded.

The absurd and strange behavior did not attract the attention of other drinkers. After all, in today's world, there are too many strange people.

"It's still a quarter of an hour before the time agreed upon by Mr. Fan and I. Before he arrives, I'll first explain the historical background of this record."

"Nearly five months have passed since the outbreak of the 'Dragon and Tiger's Destruction' incident that symbolized the decline of the entire new sect of Taoism. During this period, the entire Ming Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"On top of the sequence, at the end of June this year, when the last Zhang Tianshi fell, the new cabinet headed by the Imperial Prince Zhu Pingxu issued a 'Complaint Against Zhang' through Huangliang Dreamland. Among them were the New Donglin Party prisoners. He committed the top ten unforgivable crimes and reprimanded the New Donglin Party for betraying the emperor's favor and trust, and for betraying the people's expectations, forming a clique to gain power, and disrupting the government. "

"A large number of Confucian scholars publicly expressed their support and angrily denounced Zhang Fengyue, the former leader of the New Donglin Party, for deceiving the emperor and forming a party for personal gain. He was actually a thief who stole the country. At the same time, they were willing to accept all punishments from the court. At this point, the man who had controlled the imperial court for nearly two hundred years The New Donglin Party has completely become history.”

"At the beginning of July, Emperor Jiaqi issued an imperial edict, announcing that the empire was facing an unprecedented crisis, and called on all Ming people to join in the national disaster and protect their homeland. At the same time, military order would be the core to rebuild the Ming army, which had been abolished for many years. The army and the people worked together to Suppress the Honghu rebellion and restore the glory of the empire."

The bustard ghost's voice paused, and there was a meaningful wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "A game of thief shouting and catching thief is staged in such a grand manner. It is really absurd and ironic, rare in ancient and modern times."

"And according to rumors, the palace in Beizhili is just an empty building now. The entire Zhu Ming royal family and a group of core officials, under the cover of Huang Liang's will, are still missing. It seems that the dragon flag is still there, but in fact it is empty. "

"As for Zhang Fengyue, who has been deprived of his position as chief minister and designated as a national traitor, he is operating openly and openly in the Jinling area of ​​​​the capital in the name of the head of Xindonglin Academy. He spares no effort to expose the conspiracy between the royal family and Honghu, and calls on the people of the world not to No longer will you shed your blood and sacrifice in vain for the so-called king and father, but you must fight for your own survival."

"The strange thing is that although the two sides are at odds with each other and are constantly quarreling and quarreling, and Zhang Shan is growing up in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family is in the dark. But so far, no members of the forces affiliated with the royal family have dared to enter the South Zhili area to carry out the so-called 'revolt against rebellion'. '.

"After Zhang Xiji, the last Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, died and everyone in Longhu Mountain was massacred, the leaderless new Taoist sect was no longer able to restore its decline and fell apart. The remaining Taoist members gathered believers, established Taoist temples in various places, and became independent Portal.”

"But after losing the cultivation shortcut of 'Huangliang Cave Heaven', the new Taoist order has a tendency to become a demon. Some people actually started to imitate the original Buddhist order, plundering believers to build a Taoist kingdom in the body, killing to nourish the Tao, and becoming a demonic cultivator. ”

"All the Buddhist texts of the Han Dynasty also withdrew from the mainland of the empire and went to Fandi for pilgrimage. They tried to take refuge under the disciples of the Bodhisattva Yuan Mingfei of the Ten Directions, but were rejected. Not only the Han Buddhist texts, but also the Buddhist scriptures of the Han Dynasty that still existed in Fandi were all expelled. ”

"Frustrated, a large number of Buddhist monks chose to travel far outside the empire's territory, and a very small number chose to do asceticism on foot in some barren mountains and rivers. I hope that in this way, I can wash away my sins, and one day be able to be worshiped by the Buddha of the Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions. country to readmit.”

"But in any case, the three religions that once led the Ming Dynasty have withdrawn one by one. Now among those who follow the sequence, the names of the new three religions have begun to spread, namely Zongheng, Yin and Yang, and Bingxu. However, the Yin and Yang sequence among them, Perhaps it should be more accurately called Huangliangguizhong"

The bustard ghost said that his mouth was dry, so he picked up the Mingjiu Jiannan on the table and drank a full glass.

The spicy taste entered his throat, which immediately cheered him up and he continued speaking to the screen.

"Under the Sequence, it can be said that the water is in dire straits. Honghu is deceiving people everywhere and constantly stirring up unrest. The banner he raises is to plead for the people, but the blades are pointing at ordinary people. They are killing, and the Ming army responsible for suppressing them is also killing. , but only they themselves know whether the Honghu who died under their guns is real or fake."

"The government offices responsible for maintaining order in various states are in vain, and the basic base that was once considered taboo by all parties has also been wiped out. Refugees are everywhere, gangs are rampant, black market transactions are booming, and the business of flesh and blood and prosthetics is booming."

"But these are not what ordinary people fear most. What they fear most is the 'ghost chaos'."

The bustard ghost spoke in a serious tone: "Today's Huangliang Dreamland is full of demons and ghosts. Entering a dream is like eating poison. The beauty in your dream who was sleeping with you at the last moment may become a heart-eating and lung-eating evil spirit and eat away your consciousness. After that, he sneaked into the real body and transformed into a new believer in the vertical and horizontal sequence.”

"But even though it is so dangerous, there are still countless people rushing to the Huangliang Dreamland, not worrying that they may be the next to be snatched away. Even the inferior dreams that were once despised have now become a hot commodity, more popular than guns and bullets. Weapons also need strong hard currency, which may be an opportunity for Zaxu to rise."

The brothel owner laughed at himself and continued, "It may be to escape the chaos of the world, or it may be because of the temptation of the sequence. The popularity of 'Huangliang' is now even better than before the turmoil. Although some people hate it and choose to remove their brains, it is just a drop in the ocean in the entire Ming Empire."

"The world has collapsed to this point, and people's hearts are lost. How can I realize the 'Jue Tiandi Tong' that once made me excited?"

The brothel owner in the picture looked blank, and he didn't seem to know where his future was going.

"Where is the brothel owner? Mr. Fan, I'm here."

Just then, a heroic laugh broke in from outside the wine shop.

The brothel owner suddenly came back to his senses and looked up and was about to respond, but he saw several figures suddenly rushing out of the dark of the wine shop!

"Are you Fan Wujiu?!"

"Ang"

Bang!

The sudden gunshots were mixed with the crisp and sharp sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed.

"A bunch of Zhu family lackeys dare to ambush you, Mr. Fan? You're looking for death!"

The brothel owner's thick eyebrows suddenly stood up, and his figure rushed out of the screen in an instant.

Explosions and gunshots came one after another, blood and wine were splashed everywhere, and flying figures passed through the screen from time to time, making a muffled sound.

The sudden fight did not last too long, and after a while, the tavern returned to peace again.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

The screen suddenly shook violently, and then a rough face stained with blood squeezed in.

Fan Wujiu asked curiously while wiping the bloody documents on his face in front of the screen.

Puff!

The brothel owner stabbed the still twitching corpse at his feet with a knife, wiped his hands on his robe, and then took the documents from Fan Wujiu's hands.

"I was born in a mixed order, you should still remember this, General Flag"

Before the brothel owner finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Wujiu waving his hand.

He picked up a relatively intact chair from the ruins and sat down carelessly in the blood all over the ground.

"I am not a general now. The Jinyiwei we used to know is long gone. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Fan."

The brothel owner responded, raised the documents in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am not afraid of you laughing at me, Brother Fan. My previous dream was to build a Huangliang dream with the background of "The World is Divided into Martial Arts", but now I think the turmoil and changes we are experiencing are more exciting, so I want to use our group of people as a template to accumulate some materials."

"Whatever you want."

Fan Wujiu said nonchalantly, burying his head and sweeping the ground, as if searching for any surviving wine.

The brothel owner, who got permission, hurriedly moved a table, fixed the documents, and adjusted the screen to ensure that it could be locked on Fan Wujiu.

"Is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Can't you just change your eyes into mechanical eyes?"

While busy, the brothel owner replied: "I have removed all the prosthetic limbs on my body, including the spiritual orifice."

Fan Wujiu was stunned when he heard this: "Why? Are you worried about Zhan Shun?"

"No, I just think that the real Chaos Order doesn't need these things."

The brothel owner sat opposite Fan Wujiu, looking at the wall with a big hole behind him, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly: "Brother Fan, should we change places to talk, otherwise if those people come to attack again later..."

"It doesn't matter, these Honghu bastards usually flee immediately if they miss a hit. Killing these few should give us a few days of peace."

Fan Wujiu seemed to have been accustomed to such attacks and didn't take it to heart at all.

The brothel owner said in a deep voice: "With such frequent attacks, these Honghu are really bold! Aren't they afraid that the centurion... Brother Jun will cause trouble for them?"

"For such a small fight, those who come are all low-ranking small characters. Their purpose is just to use me to warn Brother Jun. They dare not really do it. Moreover, the Zhu family is hiding so deep now. Brother Jun has no place to use his strength. If he can't cut off the head, it will be useless to kill more minions."

The brothel owner said worriedly: "Since it is so dangerous, Brother Fan should not have left Moyuan in the first place."

"The Zhu family wants to be a turtle, but I can't learn it. Those blacksmiths are too boring. I can't pee in the same pot with them, and I don't like living under someone else's roof."

Just then, there was a sudden noisy sound of footsteps and shouting outside the door. Judging from the noise, there were quite a few people coming.

Fan Wujiu raised his hand to signal the brothel owner not to be nervous, and turned to shout outside the door: "Don't make a fuss, I'm not dead yet."

The noise suddenly stopped, and a sturdy man walked in respectfully.

"Master Du, are you okay?"

Fan Wujiu raised his chin slightly: "It's okay, there's no need to make a fuss, disperse the brothers outside."

"Yes."

"By the way."

Fan Wujiu stopped the man who was about to leave, "Pull out all the Honghu secret agents you have controlled during this period, and teach them a lesson, otherwise they will think we are afraid of them."

"Got it, I'll take people to do it now."

When the man left, the shock on the brothel owner's face had not faded.

"Brother Fan, he..."

"Did you recognize him?"

Fan Wujiu raised his head and said with a smug smile: "Yes, just like our brother Jun, he is also a lone warrior. To be honest, if I didn't have brother Jun as a backer, such a person would not be willing to work under a soldier like me. But it doesn't matter, after all, I have also ordered people from the lone martial order, right?"

"What about you now?"

"Brother Hunshuipao."

Fan Wu Jiu said bluntly: "I remember I also informed you that I wanted you to come and hang out with me, but you refused me at that time."

"I'm still suitable for wandering around. If it weren't for my livelihood, I probably wouldn't have become a royal guard."

"So you just stopped by to see me this time?"

Fan Wu Jiu squinted his eyes with a narrow smile on his face.

The bustard ghost smiled awkwardly, and just when he didn't know how to answer, he saw Fan Wujiu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. We are all brothers who have killed Japanese pirates together. I don't know what you are being cautious about. Everyone has his own ambitions, how can I make it difficult for you?"

Fan Wu Jiu calmed down his gangsterism a little and said seriously: "If you have anything to ask, just ask."

The bustard ghost calmed down and then said in a deep voice: "Brother Fan, why did you return to Shu to rebuild Brother Muddy Water Pao?"

"Simple, because besides killing people, I don't know what else I can do."

Fan Wujiu answered neatly and neatly: "And you also know the world today. Today we are rebels, and tomorrow we may be the royal masters of the imperial court. Now we are ordinary people, but they may turn around and become rebels. I can't bear to see it." Then just stand up and cause some trouble for the Zhu family. Although it may not be of much use, at least I feel comfortable."

"Brother Fan, please don't be modest. You've already become the helmsman. I'm afraid you have a secure place in the Chengdu mansion now, right?"

"I also want to be humble, but do you think I am that kind of person?"

Fan Wujiu spread his hands and said, "The current mainland of the empire is even more chaotic than the criminal area back then. In this city alone, there are apparently Confucian clans and a suppressing and fussing army composed of soldiers and lawmen. In the dark are Hong Hu, Mo Xiu, Huang Liang Gui, and the blood-robed Confucian Preface of Xindonglin Academy."

"Even those sequences that were rare in the past are now more numerous. There are even more gangs like Muddy Water Pao Brother. You beat me, I beat you, it's very lively."

Fan Wujiu clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "If I didn't have a strong backer and the support of Mo Yuan, I might not be able to stand."

"What about ordinary people who are not included in the order?"

"To survive in the cracks, your life is worse than that of the criminals back then."

Fan Wujiu spoke concisely and concisely, but after saying these words, he fell into a long silence.

"Honghu spreads hatred, the academy confuses thoughts. Taoist temples sell souls, and ghosts in dreams eat people's hearts. Even if they can escape all these, what awaits them is the iron whip of the law and the obstruction of the manipulator."

Fan Wujiu said slowly: "Even if someone is lucky enough to avoid all dangers and temptations, there might be a bloody-robed Ruxu standing in front of you at some point, stuffing a knife and gun into your chest. In his hands, you are asked to avenge the deaths of your loved ones and fight for yourself who is still alive. Who can refuse? "

"But Brother Muddy Waters Pao, whom I heard from others on the way here, would not do this."

"Before I took refuge in Moyuan, I often heard that boy Zhao Qingxia say something, saying that those who are above are Buddhas and ancestors, and those below are just ants."

Fan Wujiu shook his head and said, "I don't like to be regarded as my ancestor by others. Now that God has not given me a way, I can only force my way in with a knife. Brother Jun has always done this, so I should do the same."

The bustard ghost asked softly: "Brother Fan, if you really find a way out one day, what else do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Fan Wujiu suddenly stood up, and the few men who were standing outside the door suddenly shouted in unison: "Master Duo!"

"This is what I want to do, not too much but not too much, not greedy but still very greedy. It's enough to stop people around me from kneeling."

There was no wine to send them off, and Fan Wujiu seemed a little uninterested.

Having already reached the door of the wine shop, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the thoughtful bustard ghost.

"The bustard ghost."

"arrive!"

Almost subconsciously, the bustard ghost stood up and stood up straight.

"I have not forgotten your serial number, nor your real name."

Fan Wujiu grinned: "Zaxu Lin Jinjiang, please don't die."

"Don't die either."

Lin Jinjiang stared blankly at the retreating figure, but suddenly remembered.

Fan Wujiu is not his real name either.
