C25 A trip to the fructus
When Shao Jian returned to the inn in the town, he felt that what happened today was extremely strange. "Where did these people come from? They are dressed in the same color and have strange patterns embroidered on their shoulders, similar to writing. What kind of organization are they from?" Shao Jian decided to head over to fructus first and ask if the fructus Sect Leader knew of the origins of these people.
At noon, he arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the road to fructus's helm must be taken. The sun was shining high above his head, and when he arrived at a valley, he only saw that the trees on the mountain were lush, and the flowers were blooming with smiles under the sunlight. A small stream of water flowed down from the dense forest and flowed into a crystal clear lake in the valley, causing ripples to form on the lake, where a group of little fishes were leisurely swimming.
Shao Jian was captivated by the beautiful scene before him and stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at the clear lake not far away. He slowly walked towards it and crouched down, using his hands to pick up the clear lake water. Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake and spread out.
Shao Jian's mouth revealed a smile, he picked up a small pebble and stood up, with a wave of his hand, the pebble struck the water of the lake, causing it to float and hit the wall of the lake, causing a clear sound to echo out, reverberating through the valley and did not disappear for a long time. The few orioles by the lake were startled, they flapped their beautiful wings a few times, flying towards the depths of the forest.
Shao Jian raised his head and looked at the beautiful natural scenery again. He wished that it could continue to be preserved forever and not be destroyed by anything in the world …
After a while, Shao Jian turned and quickly walked up the mountain. After around half an incense worth of time, there was an empty land in the forest not far away, he could vaguely see a group of buildings. Shao Jian thought: "This should be the general direction of the fructus, I never thought it would be built in such a hidden yet beautiful deep mountain."
He quickened his pace and rushed towards the main rudder of fructus, when he got closer, he saw that a wall of earth formed a circle, surrounding the rows of simple but tall mud houses, in the middle was a grand and magnificent house, a sharp contrast compared to the mud houses outside, it seemed that the big house in the middle should be the residence of people at the elder level, or the place where the gang would hold their big and small meetings, the entire main rudder looked like a small city.
Two disciples dressed in dirty clothes stood in front of the courtyard door with wooden sticks in their hands. Shao Jian walked forward and greeted them: "Please pass a message to the two big brothers, that disciple Wu Dang Shao Jian wishes to meet with Sect Leader Zhang."
The two disciples looked at him, and one of them said: "Wait here for a moment, I'll go inside and notify them."
Shao Jian said: "Thank you, then I'll be troubling you."
The disciple said: "You're welcome. Wait here for a while, I'll be right back." Saying that, he turned and walked into the courtyard. Not long later, he returned and smiled at Shao Jian: "Sect Leader has invited you. Follow me." Shao Jian thanked him and followed him into the courtyard. After many turns and turns, they finally reached the center of the house.
The disciple said to Shao Jian: "This is the place, you can go in. The Sect Master has been waiting inside for a long time." With that, he turned around and walked out. Shao Jian walked into the house. It was quite spacious and the lighting wasn't bad.
At this time, a loud and clear voice was heard: "Shao Jian, you're here." Soon after, Zhang Zaiqing, Chen Shaofeng and Chen Jianbing, the two most talented disciples of the fructus, walked over.
Shao Jian bowed to Zhang Zai and said, "Greetings to Sect Leader Zhang. I hope you can forgive me for disturbing us."
Zhang Zongqing replied with a slightly angry look on his face, "What kind of words are those? Xuan Yang and I have been friends for dozens of years, and yet you are treating this place like a piece of cake. Why bother you so much and forgive me?"
Shao Jian said apologetically: "Thank you Sect Leader Zhang, I can only blame Shao Jian for not being able to speak, and causing you to be angry."
Zhang Zaijing smiled and said, "Isn't that good enough? Come, let's sit down and talk. Don't just stand there."
After the few of them sat down, Zhang Zaijing asked again: "Why did you suddenly think of coming to the main rudder of fructus? Besides, you don't even know where this place is? "
Shao Jian said: "Half a month ago, Master asked me to go down the mountain to explore the martial arts world to train. Master told me to come look for you here when we were about to leave, that I have something to tell you."
Zhang Zaijing laughed and said, "So you've been wandering around the martial arts world for half a month. How does it feel to stay in Wu Dang?"
Shao Jian laughed faintly: "I don't feel anything, I just went down the mountain and didn't encounter any big problems. I stayed in Wu Dang for a long time and came out for some fresh air."
Zhang Zaiqing smiled and said, "That's right, you will gradually get used to life in the martial arts world, and after a while, you will learn more about the wonders of the martial arts world. However, you must remember the most important thing in this world, it is very sinister, chaotic, and human."
Shao Jian nodded his head: "Thank you Sect Leader Zhang for your teachings. When I went down the mountain, Master also said this to me, Shao Jian will definitely remember it."
Zhang Zaiqing asked again: "What business do you have with the fructus this time? If you have something, just say it. If I can help, I'll definitely help. "
Shao Jian pondered for a moment before explaining in detail how he had met the mysterious organization and handed them over to Zhang Zaiqing.
After Zhang Zaiqing heard Shao Jian's narration, he said with a suspicious look on his face: "I am not too sure about this matter, but right now the Imperial Court is in a state of chaos, and all the gangs and organizations are taking this opportunity to create trouble, but hearing you mention that you are dressed in a green tight uniform, and that there are signs embroidered on it, it is quite rare to see such an organization, unless it is a large clan or organization. "However, I haven't heard of any major gangs rising up. I can only see for myself what kind of organization it is and what it's planning."
When Shao Jian heard that Zhang Zaijing had never seen an organization like this before, he looked at him and said: "Then I hope that Sect Leader Zhang would take note of it. From my own point of view, this organization does not look like the work of any righteous person.
Zhang Zaiqing smiled and said, "That's right. If we can get to the bottom of this, we'll definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts world in the future."
He looked at Chen Shaofengyuchenjianbing at the side and said: "Alright, let's leave it at this for now. You can stay here for a few more days, and if you don't want to stay, it won't be too late for you to leave the mountain. I have some matters I need to settle with the sect right now, you guys can continue chatting." After which, he stood up and walked out.
Shao Jian walked in front of Chen Shaofeng and Yue Yang and said: "Shao Feng, it has been half a month since we last met. Is there any progress in martial arts? "
Chen Shaofeng laughed: "I'm still the same ever since I came back. How do you feel about going down the mountain and wandering in the martial arts world?
Shao Jian smiled faintly: "There is indeed something strange that has happened, but it's a bit shameful talking about it."
Hearing that there was something strange to hear, Chen Jianbing immediately asked: "What is there to be afraid of, we are all men, what is there to be afraid of?"
Seeing the two of them staring at him in anticipation, Shao Jian wanted to hear the rest and laughed: "Alright, then I will tell you guys, but after you guys finish listening, you guys cannot laugh at me."
Chen Shaofeng and the other immediately responded, "That won't happen, just say it."
Shao Jian laughed and told his about how he met that unruly young miss in the Xiangyang Manor and how he found out about her. After listening, the two looked at him with a look of disbelief.
Chen Shaofeng laughed: "That can't be, to have such a unruly girl, it seems like you can only be unlucky to have met her."
Chen Jianbing rushed to say: "Senior brother, what you said is a little wrong, how can you call it bad luck, it should be fate, if not how can that woman not argue with others, and instead with Shao Jian, this is fate. "Hee hee." With that, he looked at Shao Jian angrily: "Next time you meet her, you cannot give up such a great opportunity, haha."
Shao Jian looked at him in shock: "I didn't think that even you would mock me, what agreement did we make just now?"
Chen Jianbing said apologetically: "I don't have any intention of teasing you, am I telling the truth? You two are really fated for each other.
Chen Shaofeng also laughed: "What Jian Bing says makes sense. It seems like that unruly lady is also interested in you, if not why would he come looking for you again and again?"
Shao Jian was completely speechless, he did not expect the two Junior and Junior to be of the same mind, and understand that they were just teasing him. If he had known earlier that there would be such an outcome, he might as well not have spoken to them earlier.
