Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 113

Fuzhou's city squares and alleys are criss-crossed, with bluestones connecting the land, white powder tile houses, and overlapping gables. Since the Han Dynasty was built, Yuewang Mountain has been used as a barrier, and Jiuxian Mountain and Wushi Mountain have faced each other. The water network is interlaced and the central axis is in half. It is a structure of lanes and alleys with water as its veins.

No one expected that the strange situation between the three mountains and the two towers would spread so quickly...

A woman in a neighboring alley who had seen the unnamed Buddha statue said that it was not very similar to the usual one, with shawls scattered, many features have been blurred, and the face is oblong and slightly round, so old that only slightly curved eyebrows and bright eyes can be seen.

This nameless Buddha statue wears a double-breasted robe with a belt as a buckle. It sits cross-legged on a lotus seat with one leg. It has a dignified and kind posture, but it tilts its head slightly forward, as if asking why people do evil in this life and when to turn back in this life. .

The strangest thing is that the abdomen of this Buddha statue seems to have been cut open, and the intestines are clearly visible.The rumors in the market are also incomprehensible. If the Buddha is an ordinary person, what is there to worship? If the Buddha is not an ordinary person, why is his stomach pierced?
But the nameless Buddha statue was silent, it just brushed its belly lightly with one hand, as if to let the world see this mortal body clearly, but it couldn't hold back the dripping blood that flowed down.Coupled with the calm and dignified posture, it showed a strange and dusty state.

Since the Buddha statue came to Kepi Lane, everything seems to be different.

The owner of Eryouzhai, who came back from She County with an unnamed Buddha statue, drove away the servants in the store, and hid in the depths of the book shop without telling anyone. The absurd scriptures of the past.

The sound of scriptures in the bookstore lasted all night, and the red light inside the door made the neighbors in Jipi Lane panic. It seemed that a feeling of fear and anxiety spread rapidly among the people. Gradually, every family began to close their doors, even children Even the night cry no longer sounded.

But not long after, every household in Jipi Lane heard the sound of chanting scriptures, and at night the sky was filled with red light and misty clouds.What's even more bizarre is that the territory of the nameless Buddha statue also quietly flowed into every household, and was worshiped with the most solemn ceremony and prayed day and night.

The people in the surrounding lanes probably heard the news, but the original story of Jipi Lane made them dare not approach without authorization, so they reported it to the government, and then reported it layer by layer, and finally the county magistrate presented it to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion in fear. desk.

"You don't even know anything about Jipi Lane?"

Chang Qingzi folded his hands and said, "Did Shi Zi ever send someone in to investigate?"

Geng Jingzhong said with some embarrassment: "Prince Jingnan has just arrived in Fuzhou, and the people's hearts are not stable. It is not suitable for soldiers to enter the city lightly. Several soldiers under the tent also sneaked into it, but they disappeared..."

Regarding the statement that soldiers should not move lightly, Jiang Wen almost didn't laugh out loud.

The contemporary King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, was extravagant. Not long after he arrived in Fuzhou, he took the opportunity of "moving the town" and built a large-scale enclosure to build a palace.

On the first day of the new year, he selected more than [-] ground-level enclosures in the southeast of Fuzhou, and occupied [-] acres of pastoral land nearby to build a palace.

What's outrageous is the enclosure of the house land, eight liang of silver for the large room, six liang for the middle one, four liang for the small one, and three liang per mu for the rural area.The residents who were forcibly bought demanded to be evicted immediately and not allowed to return.

Under such operations, people in Fuzhou City have long been full of complaints. Seeing that the Geng family can't wait to eat their flesh and blood, if it weren't for the fierce army in the south of the city, it would have triggered a civil uprising.This time the people of Fuzhou did not take the opportunity to make trouble, it is very good, how could they allow them to enter in large numbers.

It wasn't just Jiang Wen's half-smile, but everyone present also had strange expressions. Obviously they all knew what King Jingnan had done, and they all seemed a little self-inflicted, and no one dared to accept this.

The whereabouts of the soldiers of Jingnan Prince's Mansion are unknown, they must have been killed by someone, and the support of the people can be seen.

The few here are no-nonsense people, like Lin Zhennan, who can take care of the people on behalf of the people. If you really want to suppress this matter, I am afraid that you will light the lamp in the toilet, and prepare to fall into the vast ocean of people's war.

"Hey, I also know this is a bit tricky."

Geng Jingzhong sighed softly, "Father Wang Guoyi is brave and unruly, and has always been misunderstood by people. Besides, fathers worry about their children's work, which has always been the case since ancient times, so I have to listen to this matter."

After speaking, another glass of wine was filled, and it was toasted to Lin Zhennan and Chang Qingzi.

"You two have worked hard, and Geng will keep it in mind. Anyone who has a life-and-death contact during this trip can act in the name of Geng Jingzhong. I will report first and then report to you without worry. These things are not for me, but for this. The people in Fuzhou City, and the tens of thousands of people in the Geng family's Jingnan Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhennan and Chang Qingzi suddenly changed their colors, and hurriedly raised their wine glasses to pay respects to the end, and answered the case.

"Dare to obey!"

Master Huang, a tyrant in the Southern Kingdom, once said that the three-step strategy is to treat guests, behead them, and accept the dog.

Today Jiang Wen could see that although it was a coincidence that Geng Jingzhong held this banquet, it was a well-prepared move.

Just listen to what he said just now, what father Wang Guoyi is brave?It is obviously a mockery of the old man who will not listen to persuasion, and his own son will take the blame for him, but the son will not speak of his father's faults, everyone should understand the spirit, and don't spread it outside.

The latter is even more dangerous.

Since ancient times, what one's identity can say, such as establishing one's heart for the world and one's life for the people, the Confucian great sages have the right to speak naturally, but if a monk dares to speak so boldly, it is guaranteed that the relics will be beaten by the government the next day come out.

When he, as the heir to a power, made it clear that he wanted to worry about the people in the fief and the officers and men in the army, this had already clearly demonstrated his ambition, and he showed himself as the King of Jingnan, showing his domineering attitude.

Geng Jingzhong asked Lin Zhennan and Chang Qingzi to work in his name, which was a subtle but definite solicitation, and he was willing to admit that they were the people in his hidden residence, and Dinghu Feilong would be no problem in the future.

He was a little dissatisfied that everyone was discussing the matter just now, only talking about helping but not contributing.

Speaking of this, even Changqingzi, who had been pretending to be stupid, didn't dare to pretend anymore—if he didn't agree to solicit at this time, he didn't want to board the thief boat. Chased by Geng's iron cavalry, he walked out of Fuzhou city alive.

What a cunning and resourceful Geng Jingzhong, he really has two brushes.

Compared with the two guests, the few people who sat with him were much more perfunctory, and they drank a glass of wine symbolically.

Jiang Wen didn't take it seriously at all, as long as he was responsible for making the meal a mess, that wasn't the point at all—didn't Geng Jingzhong even ask his name?
On the contrary, Lin Zhennan had already planned to hug his thigh. It is also a good thing to be able to bind today. After all, according to historical development, the future Geng Jingzhong is indeed King Jingnan.

And the Chang brothers didn't take it seriously, they ate and drank well - they really didn't understand anything.

Geng Jingzhong smiled happily. As a young man in his twenties, he still couldn't escape the sense of gain and loss, and he became more confident in his plan.

Zheng Chenggong's Tiandihui destroyed the three-way Qing army in Wuyi Mountain a few months ago, which not only shocked the world, but also had a profound impact on the court. A knight-errant who is angry and bleeding five steps can cause such a big effect!

Therefore, in the past few months, feudal towns all over the country have been recruiting masters of the rivers and lakes.

Following Chen Jinnan, Zheng Chenggong recruited Feng Xifan, a master of the Kunlun School, into his account; Shang Kexi also hooked up with the Wudang School by taking advantage of Southern Shaolin's entry into Guangdong; the Qing court even summoned Xingyimen and Taijimen one after another The heads of the big factions such as , Baguamen, Tianlongmen, etc. came to Beijing to discuss state affairs bluntly.

Only Wu Sangui had just conquered Yunnan, and Shan Gao Lu Yuan hadn't heard of any moves yet, but the martial arts in Shu also had such great factions as Qingcheng and Emei, and their advantages were self-evident.

The rivers and lakes are the continuation of the court. In the future, the bloody storms in the rivers and lakes will only become more dangerous than before. The Geng family must not be unprepared.

But Geng Jingzhong was in an embarrassing situation in Fujian. The largest martial arts force, Nan Shaolin, had been classified as a traitor, so he definitely couldn't be contacted directly. Fortunately, there was a large Fuwei Escort Bureau in Fuzhou Prefecture, so it was very convenient to get into the martial arts.

More importantly, the Qingcheng faction, as a major martial arts faction in central Sichuan, was willing to take refuge this time after receiving the invitation, which was equivalent to dismantling a pillar of Wu Sangui in advance, and instantly reversed the disadvantage on paper.

While drinking and talking and laughing, Geng Jingzhong was thinking about the recent rumors in the world. It is said that there is a mysterious Wuyi hero Qin Duanyu in Wuyi Mountain in Chong'an County. His martial arts are also unfathomable. If he can be recruited together, In the future, there will be more chances of winning open and secret battles...
