In Japan, the status of merchants is very low, only higher than that of filthy people and tenants. Therefore, although Zhoumu described Wang Hui as “wonderful, generous, generous, and powerful”, he felt that this person was not ordinary. merchant.
Boats, money, people, weapons, without these things, how could the Japanese daimyo who are like tigers hand over them, and the merchants on the sea with these things, Maitreya thought, this Wang Hui is not a pirate king.
Facts have proved that Maitreya did not think well, because from Zhou Mu and other merchants, he learned that Daning is currently imposing a sea ban, and the sea trade business is illegal in the Chinese court, and the reason why Wang Hui can do business is natural. It's because he has a boat and some people have weapons.
A year ago, Wang Hui actively cooperated with the officials and army to confiscate the pirates who burned, killed, and looted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, he could obtain the tacit approval of the Zhejiang local officials to occupy Jintang Island and conduct trade there. He was not a pirate, but One Qiwu Sea.
Although there is a lot of passion and passion for merchants such as Zhoumu, Maitreya can imagine that the road to the fortune of this five-dragon ship owner is probably full of ups and downs.
After inquiring about many things, when the merchant ship docked on Jintang Island, Maitreya was thinking about it, so Zhou Mu led him to Wang's house to meet Wang Hui.
Zhou Mu was a businessman from Biqian Kingdom. Maitreya didn't know what he was selling, but with his leadership, he met Wang Hui smoothly.
At that time, Wang Hui was seeing a guest. Maitreya and Zhoumu were led to the side hall. After a while, Wang Hui came out of the room and saw a middle-aged man with a short beard like a toothbrush on his lips, full forehead and lean cheeks. , Wearing a round outer cap on his head, except for the red and black skin, it is no different from the average rich man.
Zhou Mu was proficient at meeting with Wang Hui and said that Maitreya heard from the side that this old fellow Zhou Mu was an arms dealer selling katana. Yes, Bizen Kingdom is a place rich in iron sand and swordsmiths, and selling weapons is also normal.
Because of the eager business relationship, Zhou Mu and Wang Hui had an extraordinary relationship. Zhou Mu introduced Maitreya to Wang Hui, and after the two met, he narrated Maitreya's situation.
"Little master, there is an unstoppable curse from the Buddha in this world?" Wang Hui looked at the young monk wearing a robes, and saw that he was sturdy and strong. I have to ask a question with great interest.
"The so-called Buddha is an enlightened person. The work of the world's work and sins are all causal cycles. The curse in my body is caused by the ancestors' desire to drop demons and eliminate demons." Maitreya smiled.
"What about now?" Wang Hui was curious, and Maitreya's words seemed to be telling him about his shortcomings.
"The so-called devil is Cong Mo, a fortified thing. Now I come to Middle-Earth, and I am seeking strange people and strangers to learn Middle-Earth’s techniques of demons and demons to overcome this tribulation.” Maitreya replied indifferently.
"Well, the little master's Dharma is subtle, and Shu Bixi doesn't understand the reason!" Wang Hui is a wise man, but he can't understand the logical relationship in Maitreya's words. Ming Ming ancestor descended from the demon and exterminated the demons and was cursed, and now he has to go to school. What is the art of demon slayer, shouldn't we first think about how to solve the curse
"Can the benefactor worship Buddha before?" Maitreya asked.
"Naturally worship." Wang Hui was a sailor at sea, and he worshipped a little bit of Buddha and Mazu.
"But do you want to get a good sailing business?" Maitreya asked.
"Naturally!" Wang Hui nodded naturally. He was a boatman, so what else could he ask for besides asking for this.
"Is it successful now?" Maitreya asked again.
"Slightly." Wang Hui smiled with a smug. Now he is cooperating with the army and occupying Jintang Island at his feet, and his career is just beginning to flourish.
"The benefactor, has you ever thanked the Buddha?" Maitreya asked.
"Uh, this..." Wang Hui smiled slightly.
"Wang Donor doesn't need to go to thank Buddha." Maitreya looked at Wang Hui's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Wang Hui looked at Maitreya.
"Because the king's benefactor is his own Buddha, today's business is born in wind and water, and why is it all because of the hard work of the king's benefactor, and the family business in the storm, just like the king's benefactor, I am my Buddha, and the Buddha is also It can only teach me the method of enlightenment, it can't help me get rid of it, and can't suffer it for me!" Maitreya solved Wang Hui.
"It turns out that the young master Maitreya is really subtle in the Dharma, and Bixi admires it." Once Wang Hui got in touch, he immediately figured out the logical relationship, so he formally bowed to Maitreya.
"Amitabha Buddha." Maitreya raised his palm with one hand in return.
"Come here, serve good tea, please take a seat, Maitreya Junior Master, and Brother Zhoumu, please sit down too." Wang Hui took a serious attitude towards the guests, while calling people to serve good tea, and at the same time making plans for Maitreya.
"I really haven't seen much about demons and demons..."
Although Wang Hui walking on the sea is a bit superstitious, he really hasn’t seen the appearance of this monster, so he hesitated, not knowing how to reply to Maitreya, but at this moment, one of them was wearing armor. , The strong-dressed man with a knives, leaned in his ear and said a few words, making Maitreya and Zhoumu a little stunned.
"Oh, speaking of it, I have a guest today, it is Ding Haiwei's Zuo Zixiongzuo, he has a wide range of friends, or he can know the whereabouts of strange people and strangers."
"Also, please introduce him." Maitreya stood up immediately.
"Brother Zhoumu, please sit down. Please come with me. Little Master Maitreya." Wang Hui gave Zhoumu a wink. Zhoumu naturally understood. After all, Zhoumu is still a smuggler and it is not suitable to meet officials, so he only brought Maitreya. past.
Under Wang Hui’s leadership, Maitreya entered the living room and saw Wang Hui’s guests. He saw that he was a capable man with two thick beards on his lips, his eyes gleaming, and his fingers were violent. It was Daning. Ding Haiwei Qianhu Zuo Zixiong.
In the ranks, Zuo Zixiong's acting style is also extremely neat, and after passing the name with Maitreya, he immediately informed the strange people and strangers he knew.
"In today's world, there are very few people who can call strange people and strangers, but I know that the two are fixed among them, and one of them, only knows that Jianghu is called "Zhuge Wolong"."
"What about the other person?" Maitreya grinned slightly as he listened to the name of'Zhuge Wolong'. This was a guy who had never heard of Wuhou's surname and number.
"The other person, whose surname is Yan and Chixia, is a well-known swordsman in Qin. He was the chief arrester of six gates. He was a handy judge in the 26 provinces of the famous town. He was titled'The First Sword in the World' and hated corrupt officials the most. An official, but because of the jealousy of the minister Li Song, he has now retired to the mountains and forests, no one knows where he is." Zuo Zixiong looked at Maitreya with a pity.
"Master Zuo is sure that this person is called Yan Chixia?" Maitreya blinked.
"Why, the little master has seen this person?" Zuo Zixiong was a little surprised.
"I've heard of this person's whereabouts, but I'm not sure." Maitreya shook his head. There are Yan Chixia in this world, but I don't know which version of Yan Chixia it is, let alone whether he is in Lanruo Temple. Lanruo Temple seems to be here. Jinling Guobei County!
