Chapter 87 Treasure Island, South China Sea Sect
"Are you a disciple of the Nanhai Sect?" After seeing Yang Peng's Kung Fu, the girl obviously became a little cautious and even a little repulsive.
South China Sea School?
Yang Peng's heart was moved. He did not answer the girl's question, but asked: "Is this Nanhai Sect a sect on the island? There are also innate warriors like me in this sect?"
"You don't even know about the Nanhai Sect?" The girl's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face. From her expression, it can be seen that this so-called Nanhai Sect is quite powerful in the local area and is well-known to everyone.
The girl's mind was very simple, and she was tricked by Yang Peng in a few moments.
It turns out that the small island in front of me is called Treasure Island, which is famous for its rich gold and silver production.
And this place is located in the South China Sea. The entire South China Sea has thousands of small islands like Treasure Island. They are all ruled by one sect, which is the South China Sea Sect as the girl just said.
The Nanhai Sect is the largest sect in the entire South China Sea. There are many masters in the sect, and their strength is quite terrifying.
Because Treasure Island is rich in gold and silver, in order to obtain wealth, the Nanhai Sect sent a direct disciple and many outer disciples to guard it, enslave the local islanders, become their mining slaves, and mine for them.
Mining is a very dangerous thing. Not only do landslides occur from time to time, but because it is close to the sea, seawater may seep into the mine at any time and drown the miners inside. Therefore, no islander wants to become a slave in the mine.
However, due to the despotic power and brutal suppression of the Nanhai Sect, the islanders on the island had no choice but to swallow their anger, endure the oppression, and earn a meager income from mining to barely make ends meet.
Wherever there are people, there will be strong and weak, and there will be all kinds of oppression and injustice.
Yang Peng had seen so many things like this that he didn't find it strange at all.
The strong enslave the weak. The strong are superior and enjoy most of the wealth in the world. The weak can only grovel and live hand to mouth. Which era is not like this?
Because the disciples of the Nanhai Sect bullied the local islanders so harshly, the entire islanders of Treasure Island hated the Nanhai Sect people, hated and feared them, and dared to get angry but dare not speak out.
This is why, after seeing Yang Peng's Kung Fu, the girl showed an expression of fear and repulsion.
In order to gain the girl's trust, Yang Peng made up random lies and made up an identity for himself. He followed his master and lived in seclusion in the nearby deep sea. A warrior on a small island died of illness, so he buried his master and traveled out of the island.
Hearing that the other party was not from the Nanhai Sect, but a warrior who had been living in seclusion on a deep-sea island, the girl's attitude changed significantly, and a bright smile once again filled her face.
After learning that Yang Peng had no place to live and was wandering around, the girl very enthusiastically invited him to stay at her home for a few days.
Yang Peng did not refuse.
"You are so handsome."
Walking on the road, the girl jumped up and down, looked back at Brother Yang, and said innocently and romantically: "She is fair and handsome, and elegant like a flower girl."
Men like beautiful women, and women also like handsome men.
Yang Peng's outstanding appearance endeared him to girls.
Overseas islanders don't have as many red tapes as in China, so they speak more straightforwardly and innocently. Whatever she thinks in her mind, she says it with her mouth.
Facing the girl's praise, Yang Peng smiled slightly without any resentment in his heart.
"My name is Axiang, what's your name?" The girl is still so enthusiastic, like the scorching summer sun, lively and cute.
"Yang Peng," Yang Peng replied.
This place no longer belongs to the world of Xiaoao Jianghu, so he decided to use his own name.
The two chatted casually, and through chatting, Yang Peng unintentionally obtained a lot of information.
Arriving at the village where the girl lived, Yang Peng discovered that most of the islanders here lived in bamboo buildings made of bamboo and thatch.
The whole bamboo house is made of woven bamboo, and then thatch is used to cover the walls and roof, and then rattan or bamboo is used as the floor. Because it is close to the sea and the climate is humid, the outside of the house is also covered with a thick layer of mud to prevent moisture.
The shape of the entire bamboo building resembles a boat canopy, as if it was built based on the shape of their fishing boat, which is very strange.
According to Ah Xiang, their ancestors have lived in such bamboo buildings for generations and it has been passed down to this day.
Seeing the exotic customs in front of him that were different from those in China, Yang Peng couldn't help but become interested and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The bamboo house where Axiang lives seems a bit crude and dilapidated, which seems to indicate her poor family environment.
When Yang Peng entered it, he found that it was empty. According to Axiang, she also had an older brother who worked as a slave in a nearby mine, and their parents were killed alive due to a mining accident a few years ago.
Drowned in the mine.
When talking about her parents, Axiang's eyes darkened obviously and she felt very sad.
Yang Peng sighed and couldn't help but ask: "Since mining is so dangerous and the Nanhai Sect is so bad, even if you are unable to resist their atrocities, won't you run away? Escape from here and live somewhere else?"
A Xiang moved a bamboo stool and asked Yang Peng to sit down. Then she said with a lonely look: "Escape? Where to escape? All the islands nearby are the territory of the Nanhai Sect. No matter where you escape, there is nothing."
Use? Moreover, after my parents died, my eldest brother was taken to the mines to be a slave. How could I escape?"
Yang Peng could clearly feel that Axiang was just an ordinary person who had never practiced any martial arts. Under the rule of the powerful Nanhai Sect, she had nowhere to escape and no way to resist.
The weak can only endure the oppression of the strong and live in humiliation. This is the reality of this cruel world.
Because of this, Yang Peng has made his goal more clear, which is to continuously improve his martial arts, reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and become a strong man that no one dares to bully.
"Axiang, have you heard of Penglai Fairy Island?" Yang Peng asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Penglai Immortal Island?" Axiang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then finally shook her head.
Just when Yang Peng was a little disappointed, the little girl suddenly said: "But I know that there is a very powerful person in the Nanhai Sect. Outsiders call him the Nanhai Immortal."
South China Sea Immortal?
There was a word for immortal in his name, which instantly aroused Yang Peng's interest, and he thought to himself: "Is this Nanhai sect still a sect that cultivates immortality?"
However, when he learned the name of this 'immortal', he was completely stunned.
Axiang said: "This Nanhai Immortal, named Chao Gongcuo, is the number one master in the Nanhai Sect. He is powerful in the entire Nanhai. No one knows about it..."
Nanhai Immortal, Chao Gong made a mistake!
Yang Peng couldn't help but was stunned and thought to himself: "Could it be Chao Gongcuo, the veteran figure of the Nanhai School who once fought against Ning Daoqi in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and ended up losing with one move?"
