My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 15: The Loser Alliance

The Great Qi Dynasty enjoyed a long reign, its foundation was based on military power, and martial spirit prevailed among the people.

Thousands of sects, both large and small, and a huge class of warriors together form a martial arts ecology called Jianghu, which continuously supplies talents to the country and society.

Many years ago, the royal family and the six major sects jointly agreed to divide the country's sects into three grades and ten levels.

The lowest level of martial arts is "Yicing", which is usually a newly opened small martial arts hall in a village or town. Once the martial arts hall has made a name for itself, recruited apprentices, and has a large scale of operation, and meets the requirements, it can apply to be upgraded to Erbing, and then Sanbing.

——At this level, one becomes a person who has a say in the county.

For a sect to be promoted from Class 3B to Class 1B is like a warrior refining essence into qi and cultivating internal energy. It is a qualitative change that allows a fish to leap over the dragon gate. There are countless tiny sects stuck at this hurdle.

Because in addition to the rigid requirements of industrial scale, number of employees, and tax amount, the upgrade conditions also require independent copyright for passing on the skills.

That is, the inheritance of independent intellectual property rights of at least one internal skill, one light skill, and two external skills.

From Level 1B to Level 3B, there are great challenges to overcome at each step. Even for Level 3B to reach Level 1A, it requires not only the hard work of dozens of generations of elites in the sect, but also more mysterious opportunities that can only be understood.

But the reason why the world of martial arts is so charming is that it is full of many magical things that go against common sense.

For example, Baihua Valley, from a Class C sect when it was founded, has risen to a Class A sect now...

It only took twelve years.

This speed is so outrageous that it has become a legend that people in the world talk about with relish.

It should be noted that the initial motivation of most martial artists to practice martial arts was not to "avenge and roam the world", but "everything else is inferior except martial arts", in order to change their ordinary fate, to have more money, to eat more, to have a higher status and more dignity.

Standing above all these common people in the world are the people in stories and legends.

Or travel the world with a sword, play around in the world, keep the world as your companion, and be free and easy.

Some great heroes serve their country and their people, guarding the border and gazing north from their isolated city.

Or when you see injustice, you punish evil and promote good, fight against the strong and help the weak, and plead for the people.

The top figures in these legendary stories are usually referred to as... martial arts myths.

The current head of Baihua Valley and the founder of the sect, Yang Ying, can only be considered half a martial arts legend.

However, her grandfather was a martial arts legend from the previous generation.

Her parents were martial arts legends of the previous generation.

The family friend whom she regarded as her sworn brother and with whom she had a very good relationship was a martial arts legend of the previous generation.

The young Taoist priest who saved her when she was traveling around the world in her teenage years is a contemporary martial arts legend.

It is said that the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. If this is true, then she is undoubtedly the greatest user of the Face Fruit in this world.

His background is so strong, his connections are so deep, his social circle is so wide, and his network of contacts is so extensive that it is simply infuriating to both humans and gods.

People like this want to create their own school, just like the top rich second generation starting a business. They are really not comparable to college students and office workers.

So twelve years ago, when Miss Yang came to Lin County and found a valley with singing birds and fragrant flowers and a mild climate to establish her sect, she brought with her the top martial arts heritage from her father's, mother's and elder brother's lines, as well as the terrifying connections accumulated by these martial arts legends over decades.

In addition, she herself had a wide circle of friends and a generous personality. She made many friends while traveling around the world. On the day of the founding of her sect, the number of people from the martial arts world who came to congratulate her was enough to hold a martial arts conference, and all the local gangs and sects learned the ways of the world on the spot.

After establishing the sect, the first step is to look for martial arts practitioners and build the sect's industry. In addition, the leader also uses his personal connections to invite original shareholders to join.

She actually brought someone over.

Up to now, including Li Bailong's cheap master, he has a total of seven senior masters, all of whom are sisters with the master. Most of them are Jimei people the master met when he was traveling around the world, and they brought many pieces of the puzzle such as connections, core technologies, funding channels, martial arts techniques, etc. to the newly established Baihua Valley.

To this day, the climate of Baihua Valley has matured and it is now a first-class provincial sect.

In the past two years, we have been planning to move to Beijing and strive for the second place.

As for how to pull these beautiful ones...

Then we have to talk about the founding philosophy. The official statement is that when Master Yang traveled to the vicinity of Lin County, he saw the efforts made by the local women to resist arranged marriages and fight for freedom and independence. He was moved and decided to establish a women's sect to protect women who wanted to choose a different life and let women decide their own destiny.

Of course this is also a reason, but when Li Bailong and his master were whispering in private, they heard some inside information that was different from the official propaganda.

Before telling this insider information, we have to lay a premise.

As we all know, there are always some touching love stories in the world.

For example, a quirky and mysterious little girl will meet various scheming little princes, gentle and elegant great doctors, overbearing and cold old princes, infatuated and deeply affectionate knights, and will be swayed by the passionate pursuit of these people.

Of course, there are also those silly young boys who are just starting out and accidentally meet a noble and cold chivalrous woman from a famous family, a quirky witch, a gentle and lovely peerless medical genius, and so on - this guy is also very shameless, he actually got chosen and is troubled about which one to choose.

Then, after experiencing all kinds of epic stories such as jumping off a cliff, misunderstandings, engagement, bride kidnapping, and aphrodisiacs, the silly boy finally chose his ideal person, and they lived together forever.

Then there is a problem here.

——Since the silly boy only chose one, where did those defeated losers go?

——It’s in this Valley of Flowers!

So Sect Leader Yang, who was born with a noble family background and was naturally extraordinary like a flower from a high mountain, was actually a loser in her love life. At that time, she was looking for her "big brother" but failed, and she was frustrated and depressed. While relaxing in Huazhou, she met two other equally frustrated Jimei. They hit it off and decided to build a great sect.

Later, most of the uncles and uncles who were persuaded by the leader to come up the mountain and join the gang, except Li Bailong's master who took Li Bailong to seek medical treatment and medicine and came to the door himself, had similar emotional experiences and were therefore attracted to the substitute.

It’s not that this sect only accepts losers, but many losers do run to this sect...including the second-generation disciples of Li Bai. Of course, some of them are girls with extraordinary talents who have been accepted into the sect by Baihua Valley since childhood, and some of them do have some bumpy emotional experiences and come here to learn martial arts.

So instead of calling this Hundred Flower Valley the Hundred Flower Valley, it should be called the Loser Dog Alliance...

In this sect's ethos and environment, Li Bailong, as a man, was brought into the valley by his master in his early years. His growth experience over the years is somewhat difficult to describe in words.

But it has not reached the point where "the wind, frost and sword are pressing hard".

After all, people have many faces, and the losers in Baihua Valley are also divided into camps.

There are those in the lawful good camp who believe that "only someone like Sister Liu is worthy of him."

There are also those in the lawful evil camp who believe in "what if I feel guilty?"

There is also the chaotic kindness of "those are all very good, but I just don't like them."

Of course, there is also the chaotic and evil idea that "all men are bad".

These senior teachers have different growth and emotional experiences, so their temperaments, concepts and cognitive attitudes towards men are different, so their views on the only male disciple are also different.

As a young man of a noble family who appears to be handsome, virtuous, noble and virtuous, it is normal for Li Bailong to be liked by several uncles and uncles who are not too extreme.

There is like, and of course there is dislike. For example, a certain senior master has been holding a rigid attitude of "this boy will become a big trouble in the future" and has been staring at him all the time since the beginning of his entry, and regarded him as a potential scumbag.

Li Bailong’s attitude towards this is...very understanding.

After all, the one barking in his mind at this moment was also a chaotic evil creature.

"No woman is good!"

Long Aotian would go crazy every time he came to Baihua Valley. Whenever Li Bailong met a fellow disciple, as long as they talked for more than three sentences, he would make a sharp comment to prove that the other person must be a bad woman. Or he would observe Li Bailong's words and deeds from every angle and discipline him to observe male virtues to avoid sad things.

"Attention!"

He advised earnestly: "You are now as beautiful as a flower, and you are already very pretty. If bad women want to play with you because of your beauty, you can't beat them. If they just want to play with your body, it's fine, but if they want to play with your heart as well, you will suffer..."

Having known Aozi for a long time, Li Bailong has heard this kind of nonsense thousands of times. If it were a few years ago, Li Bailong would have argued with him, but now...

"Ah, yes, yes."

He said casually: "It all depends on you, my dear friend, to protect my chastity."

As he said this, he dismounted from his horse and saw a small village in front of him. This was the Paiban village outside the mountain gate of Baihua Valley.
