Chapter 28: Common Sense
Ma Rulong's spiritual perception has always been very sensitive. Just now, he sensed a fleeting aura from Liang Zifeng. That aura made him feel a little uneasy. He knew in his heart that he had underestimated Liang Zifeng.
Thinking about it again, Liang Zifeng did not show any fear throughout the whole process. Instead, he did not care about those people from the Liang family at all. It was obvious that he did not take those people seriously.
"No, Master Ma, I will remember your generosity and help."
Liang Zifeng pretended not to understand. He knew that Ma Rulong's spiritual perception was very sharp. He had not controlled his emotions well just now, so the other party noticed it. However, Liang Zifeng did not care. He just thought that he should work harder on cultivating his mind in the future.
"Master Ma, can you tell me about Liang Tianye, who is suspected to be my grandfather?" Liang Zifeng wanted to learn more about Liang Tianye, who might be his grandfather, through Ma Rulong.
"Mr. Liang, don't you know your grandfather's name?" Ma Rulong asked curiously when he saw that Liang Zifeng did not seem to be pretending.
"I really don't know. I only know that my father's name is Liang Keding, but I've never heard of my grandfather's name. It seems that my grandfather has never shown up in Yuanshan Village.
Moreover, the boy has suffered from amnesia since he was young, and has been in a daze ever since. Maybe my eldest brother knows about it, but unfortunately, he has no news at all now."
Liang Zifeng shook his head and told what he knew.
"Oh, so the rumors are true? I didn't expect that Master Liang is really a man gifted by heaven. He is no worse than those who have awakened their wisdom. He is really blessed."
Ma Rulong had heard about Liang Zifeng's information a long time ago, especially the widely circulated story of a man with amnesia awakening himself. He didn't believe it before, but now he believes it a little.
"Haha, I spent 12 years in a daze only to gain some inexplicable memories, and they are all memories about life. I don't know whether I gained or lost." Liang Zifeng shook his head with a wry smile.
"Master Ma, please tell me about Liang Tianye."
Ma Rulong also knew that Liang Zifeng was unwilling to talk more about amnesia, so he told him everything he knew about Liang Tianye's deeds.
Liang Tianye was originally the head of the Liang family in Beijing. When he became famous in the martial arts world, he was already a fifth-grade warrior. His phantom swordsmanship was hard to defend against, so he got the title of "Phantom Swordsman".
Thirty or forty years ago, Liang Tianye had a conflict with the young master of Shengding Sect for unknown reasons, and accidentally beat him into an inhumane state. Not long after, he became possessed, and finally went mad and burned himself to death.
"It's strange. Since the Liang family offended the Shengding clan, why are they on good terms with the Shengding clan now?" Liang Zifeng muttered thoughtfully.
“……”Ma Rulong pretended not to hear and said nothing.
"Master Ma, what kind of sect is Shengding Sect? Is it very powerful?" Liang Zifeng thought that Shengding Sect was the key to Liang Tianye's affairs, so he asked.
"Shengding Sect." Ma Rulong thought about it hesitantly, glanced at Leng Yuzhao, and then continued, "The main skills they practice need to rely on furnaces and cauldrons to practice. The better the furnace and cauldron, the faster the practice speed."
"Lu Ding? So it's an evil sect. I wonder how strong Sheng Ding Sect is?" Liang Zifeng frowned slightly, his tone full of displeasure.
"The strength is not weak, there are probably three or four top-grade warriors among them." Ma Rulong said, but his tone did not show that he took Shengding Sect seriously at all.
"Three or four top-grade warriors? Do they have any first-grade warriors?" Liang Zifeng was surprised when he heard this.
"First grade?" Ma Rulong looked at Liang Zifeng in surprise, and then said.
"It seems that Master Liang really doesn't know anything about the Jianghu. Since Master Liang is going to travel, he may need to know some common sense of the Jianghu. I will popularize this common sense to Master Liang."
"In that case, I am really grateful. I owe Master Ma another favor." Liang Zifeng happily bowed to Ma Rulong to express his gratitude.
"Hahaha, Mr. Liang and I hit it off right away. It's just a small matter, no need to be polite." Ma Rulong also laughed heartily.
“When martial arts reaches the upper grade, each level is very different, and it is extremely difficult to break through. Therefore, it is also called the upper grade with 9 layers, and every 3 layers is a grade, which can also be called the primary, middle and late stages. Moreover, it is extremely difficult for the middle grade to break through to the upper grade.
I have been stuck at this level for six years, and I don’t know if I can break through it in my lifetime.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this old man. What I just said was the common sense of the upper class. Now let’s talk about the common sense of the Jianghu forces. The Jianghu forces are generally divided into holy places, super forces, big forces and other ordinary forces.
If a force has a first-grade warrior in charge, it is a holy land-level force. The holy land force in our Daxing country is the royal family, and there is only one of them.
Any force with a second-grade warrior in charge can be said to be a super force. Of course, there are strong and weak ones among them. The more famous super forces include Tiandao Sect, Shengding Sect, Shenjian Villa, Tianlong Gang, Mingyue Tower, Daoxuan Temple, Gulin Temple, Qingfeng Pavilion, Fengyun League, Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, etc.
What I just talked about are only the top ten super powers in our Daxing Country. Of course, there are other more low-key super powers, some of which are even stronger than the top ten super powers.
Among the top ten super powers in our Daxing country, Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is the most likely to become a holy land-level force. Just by listening to the name, you can tell that they are aiming to take over the entire Tianwu Continent. It is said that they have already spread across one-third of the continent.
As for the Shengding Sect mentioned earlier, it is the last super power, and it is said that the strongest one is only at the early stage of the second rank. It is famous in the martial arts world because of its special skills. "
"Tianwu Merchant Alliance?"
Liang Zifeng felt like he had heard this name somewhere before. He frowned and thought for a moment, as if he had thought of something. He then took out a silver note worth one hundred taels with the words "Tianwu Merchant Alliance" written on it.
"Haha, you just noticed it, right? Almost all the silver bills on the market belong to the Tianwu Merchant Alliance, and can be exchanged for cash at any bank affiliated with the Tianwu Merchant Alliance." Ma Rulong said with a smile when he saw Liang Zifeng's actions.
"I didn't notice it before. By the way, Master Ma, since the royal family has a top-level master, why is Daxing Kingdom so chaotic? It's just like the end of the dynasty."
"Alas, it is indeed the end of the dynasty. The life span of the first-grade strongman in the royal family is almost over. By then, the holy land forces of other countries may come to Daxing to take a bite. Then it will be even more chaotic."
"Holy places in other countries?"
"The Tianwu Continent is too big. Some holy places exist in the form of sects, while others, like the Daxing Imperial Family, have established a country. In short, the power of each holy place is very large, and no one knows how many holy places there are on the Tianwu Continent."
