Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 151

The day of departure is coming soon.

Geng Jingzhong also attached great importance to this matter, and proposed that the Geng family send troops along the road to suppress and clear the road, travel on official roads every day, and stay in post houses at night. The money and food waste will be borne by the local people. Although the speed may be slower, it is absolutely appropriate. sit back and relax.

Geng Jingzhong's confidence in saying this lies in the current strong position of the Geng family. Don't forget that the white stones in Gaoyao County, Guangdong Province used by Geng Jimao to build Geng's mansion were continuously transported to Fuzhou along this road, weighing hundreds of catties. The boulder is still walkable, let alone a few big living people.

But this plan was quickly dismissed by Jiang Wen.

Traveling in the name of the Geng family is tantamount to raising the tide, there is no way to guarantee the secrecy of this trip, and once you enter the southern Fujian and Chaoshan at the border of Fujian and Guangdong, who knows if there will be Zheng and Shang. People come to make trouble.

The second travel plan was proposed by Lin Zhennan.

He could see Jiang Wen's fear of the intertwined government forces, and the Fuwei Escort just happened to have a Guangzhou branch. They are also properly arranged, as long as two experienced bodyguards are sent to lead the team, the journey will be smooth and calm.

If you want to travel in this world, you just want to have fun with the officials, and you have to look at these people from the rivers and lakes.But the problem is that Jiang Wen originally wanted to train his apprentices, Fuwei Escort Bureau settled the matter, wouldn't the four of them be left to travel around?

So this plan was rejected again.

Everyone knows that the land route is painful and slow, and the best route is to take the water route. However, no one can say anything bad about the current water route.

In the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing court established the governor of Fujian, and the governor's office was stationed in Fuzhou, which also managed Zhejiang. Quzhou, still in charge of Fujian, tried to suppress the rising and falling voices of resistance.

The troubles in one province caused thunder in all directions. Zhu Jizuo, a scholar of Nanming University, started an incident in Xinghua. Therefore, Zhu Rongfan, the surname of Ming Zong, said that he supervised the country in Kuizhou. The uprising in Dengzhou, Shandong lasted for more than ten years. The characters are all heroes of the moment, Ningbo Liukuangsheng, Simingshan Dalan Village one after another,

In particular, Chen Jinnan, the young head of the Tiandihui at that time, insisted on making the rule of the Qing court turbulent by himself. After more than ten years of hard work, Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County, and Zhang Huangyan, the minister of the Ministry of War, came to the city of Nanjing.

Today, after this, the two provinces have each set up a governor.

The south of the Yangtze River has been massacred several times, and has no resistance. Therefore, the governor's office in Zhejiang was relocated to Wenzhou, and the governor's office in Fujian was stationed in Zhangzhou. Undoubtedly, southern Fujian will be used as a place to attack. When Su arrived at Zhangzhou Port, the base camp, he began to attack Huanglong directly against the Zheng family.

Jiang Wen didn't even dare to imagine that if he passed through that sea area in a small boat at this time, would the people on both sides, Ma, rather than let it go, set fire and bombard him to the ground.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw. After Jiang Wen deleted the complex and simply confirmed it, he knew that he didn't want much for this trip. Everyone has a close heart.

He turned around and thought about it carefully. Isn't it the elusive White Lotus Sect that can satisfy these two points at the same time? !
Therefore, Jiang Wen and his group stood under the west gate of Fuzhou today, watching the cars and horses along the road, people coming and going, and soon stopped a group of carriages, and greeted a chunky middle-aged man dressed as a businessman.

"This time, I will thank you all."

The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion nodded and said: "Daoist Jiang, you are too polite. You have not yet thanked our sect for your great kindness, so it is nothing to worry about taking a journey."

When Jiang Wen heard his indistinguishable voice, he was suddenly stunned—he just said he wanted to take advantage of it, why did the head of the Mingzun Sect also come?
He took his apprentice to open several other cars, and found that they were all acquaintances——

As the direct descendant of the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, Goddess Liuding naturally followed wherever she went, sitting in the back car with two people in one car, just enough to fit Jiang Wen's three apprentices into it.

As for Jiang Wen himself, he was obliged to stay with the Madonna of the Red Lotus. At this time, the space in the carriage was narrow and the air was dull. The two sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

Human skin masks, cross-dressing, and false voice techniques, under the blessing of these tricks circulated among the quack warlocks, the men and horses of the Mingzun Sect have already passed the city gate guards, and the team composed of more than a dozen ox carts and horse-drawn carts is full of lacquerware and printed books. Enron is out of town.

"The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, why are you suddenly leaving the city?"

Jiang Wen decisively chose to find a topic to break the deadlock.

The Madonna of the Red Lotus, who was disguised as a middle-aged person, tilted her head: "Why did Jiang Daochang say that? The head of the Hongyang Sect is not in Fuzhou, but in Quanjun. The Hongyang catastrophe has passed safely, and we return to Quanzhou Is there something wrong with the government?"

Jiang Wen was also confused for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "It's not a question of whether it's appropriate or not, it's that... that's that..."

Jiang Wen wanted to say, of course there is no problem for you to go back, but in the dilapidated house next door to your house, did Ding Dian, who was so big, just throw it there?The other party obviously planted all the chrysanthemums on the roof, Miss Ling, why didn't you show any sign?

The Holy Mother of the Red Sun glanced at Jiang Wen expressionlessly, and said meaningfully.

"It seems that Daoist Jiang knows a lot of things. I thought you are too forgetful, and you have already forgotten everything between us."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen's scalp tingled instantly, and he felt that the Tianling Cap was about to be split open.

The ambiguous words uttered from the mouth of a short and fat man with a sallow complexion were already even more frightening. Listening to the meaning again, it feels like he is resentfully blaming him—to be heard by outsiders, designated as two people in the carriage. Individuals have stories that entwine.

At this time, Jiang Wen didn't need to observe deliberately, and he could find that the driver driving the car in front had already swayed in place, pretending to pat the horse's head and hum a vulgar song, expressing that he was busy communicating with the horse just now, and nothing superfluous did not hear it.

Fortunately, the twelve successes that Jiang Wen was worried about did not appear after all, so he was able to remove his hand from the hilt of the ancient bronze sword, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Holy Mother, can you explain clearly, what is the matter between us?"

Jiang Wen patted the wall of the car angrily, "I'm thinking about your life, do you still want to blackmail me?!"

But the next moment, the Madonna of the Red Lotus also became visibly sullen, and stretched out her hand to lift off the human skin mask covering her face, revealing a face that was scarred horizontally by a sharp instrument, but still showed a delicate and beautiful face.

"Why did Jiang Daochang tease me over and over again!"

The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus bit her words hard, "I know this request is a bit unfair, but my Hongyang Sect has shown all my sincerity, even if I don't take it seriously, the Taoist priest shouldn't take the opportunity to treat me lightly!"

This time the words were even more explosive. Jiang Wen had already noticed that the coachman in front was trembling with fright and had nowhere to hide. He seemed to be planning to let the old horse run away, and went down to pull the cart by himself to prevent being silenced.

People need to be calm when encountering major events, but now Jiang Wen has calmed down instead of wondering whether the goddess of Liuding will hear it, and carefully pondered what the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus said.

What exactly is the thing I promised her...

"...You mean the "Nine Nether Scriptures"?"

The Madonna of Red Lotus snorted coldly.

"Why does the Taoist priest know what to ask?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Wen finally slapped his head in a sudden realization.

"Why didn't the Holy Mother say it earlier, it almost caused me to go astray... Oh no, it was a fantasy."

The man behind the Haoli Ghost Country incident was Yun Feiyang, and now it is also the incident of Zao Wou-ki. It was so shocking that Jiang Wen didn't think about food and drink these days, and kept wondering if there was any move he missed. How much has been exposed, happened to forget to help the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus find the "Nine Serenities Manual".

Now being reminded face to face like this, Jiang Wen finally recalled the past.

And in this way, the resentful expression of the Madonna of the Red Lotus is easier to understand.

I promised to find the "Nine Serenity Manual" and two ancient scriptures earlier, but the ancient scriptures were brought back, but the martial arts cheats have been missing for a long time.

The other party probably thought that Jiang Wen was happy to see Lie Xin, and wanted to take the opportunity to study the secrets of that peerless martial arts, and he had full confidence in his character of keeping his word, so he waited for many days in Fuzhou City, no matter what. No news.

Until today, they finally received the message from Jiang Wen, and the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus came here with the goddesses excitedly, thinking that the other party had finally discovered his conscience, but found that the other party shamelessly continued to pretend to be stupid, and what he promised The promise is that I don't remember at all...

Jiang Wen took stock of his own behavior and assumed the role of the other party, and instantly felt that he was a scumbag.

"I'm sorry, sorry, there are too many things these days, and I have indeed forgotten them."

Jiang Wen hurriedly apologized with a smile, opened the bag that he carried with him, found a thin black-sealed booklet from a pile of strange things, and handed it to the Madonna of Red Lotus.

"This "Nine Nether Scriptures" has been in my hands for several days, and I only read it once on the day I got it, and now I will give it to you, the Holy Mother."

Holding this frivolous book in her hand, it was so easy to get it, the Madonna of the Red Lotus only felt that if it weighed a thousand catties, her body that had not yet recovered from the serious injury was even weaker, and she almost didn't even have the strength to open it.

But she bit her vermilion lips lightly to cheer herself up, lightly brushed the seal of the old book with her fingertips, and started to read it in the dim light of the carriage, her brows furrowed unconsciously, the more she looked, the more she couldn't get rid of the gloomy look in her eyes. The color of doubt.

When Jiang Wen caught a glimpse of her expression, he knew that she felt the same now as she did back then.

"Holy Mother, this book was written by Huang Chang, the prefect of the skull, and it uses the ancient characters of extermination script passed down from the underworld. Although there are also extermination scripts circulated in the Taoist sect, the extermination script that can be learned by living people has sounds but no words. , you have to wait until you die before you can understand it without a teacher."

The Madonna of Red Lotus looked at Jiang Wen with puzzled eyes, and Jiang Wen could only continue with a slight sigh.

"No matter how bizarre the writing in Yangjian is, it's nothing more than hooking and concealing, and bending the teeth a little bit. After all, it is inseparable from the sound, meaning, and shape of the characters. But the writing in the underworld twists everything upside down. I'm afraid the appearance of these words we see is not the same. Its true appearance, no matter how much effort is spent, it is just a dream for a fish..."

After hearing what Jiang Wen said, the doubts in the eyes of the Madonna of the Red Lotus disappeared, and the flame of hope lit in her pupils gradually extinguished. After a long silence, she handed back the black-sealed ancient book to Jiang Wen.

She looked at the lush weeds on both sides of the road and the inseparable green hills, and the life experience of many years drifted past before her eyes, and the sound of the wind around her ears became murmurs, talking to herself as if talking but not talking. .

Jiang Wen quickly added, "Holy Mother, don't be too discouraged. What I said is just a family opinion. It is said that there is always a way in the world, so you can try again."

The Madonna of the Red Lotus said to Jiang Wen with a bit of ease: "Jiang Daochang doesn't need to comfort me. After all, I am also a person who has passed through the gate of hell. I am just worried that so many people in the Hongyang Sect will receive the sacred fire from generation to generation. I was devastated and helpless, I thought I had a solution now but..."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen clapped his hands again, as if he had suddenly realized.

"Blame me, blame me, I accidentally got involved again. I can boldly try things that can't be solved by "Nine Serenities Manual."

Jiang Wen in the carriage retracted his hands into his sleeves, and then reached out to the Red Lotus Virgin.

"Come on, let's move your kung fu against my palm now, and let me diagnose the situation."

The Red Lotus Virgin wanted to refuse, but seeing Jiang Wen's determined eyes, she finally stretched out her hand suspiciously, and silently recited the mantra to slowly wake up the flame floating in the dantian.

Jiang Wen urged the inner strength of Yi Jin Jing, which is the most profound and long-lasting, and good at healing injuries. He thought that the opponent's inner strength was at most evil and shady, domineering and harsh, and he could definitely withstand it with his own martial arts.

But as soon as they met, Jiang Wen felt as if he had touched a piece of burning coal in his palm. After a short period of paralysis, he felt a strong and continuous burning pain, as if the body of the Madonna of the Red Lotus was not an invisible internal force, but a burning sensation. Melting hot molten steel, wherever it goes is a raging fire!
With such a weird internal force, Jiang Wen was caught off guard at the beginning, and changed four or five types of internal force in succession, sometimes yin and sometimes yang, sometimes strong and sometimes soft, but the opponent's internal force was stronger when it was strong, and more aggressive when it was weak, regardless of the way ahead. How to combine rigidity and softness, I will never move forward.

The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus knows the dominance of this internal skill, otherwise Ming Zunjiao, who has suffered from the disadvantages, would not be able to give up, and bet the lives of the leaders of martial arts in the past, only wanting to develop a solution to the burning of the sun. method.

While exercising, she observed Jiang Wen's expression, and planned to withdraw her power immediately when the other party was in pain, so as to prevent Jiang Wen from being accidentally injured.

But it was time for the two of them to palm each other through the sleeves, and Jiang Wen, who had his eyes slightly closed, remained expressionless and sweatless, as if he was groping for something to taste.

The time for the two sticks of incense passed, Jiang Wen was still silent, his eyes closed tightly and he didn't say a word.

After half an hour, even the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, who had profound internal energy, was a little overwhelmed. I just felt that the Holy Fire Kungfu in my body was exhausted, intermittently like a furnace that was about to go out, and the internal energy in the palm of Jiang Wen in front of me was still surging , without detracting, eliminating one's own internal force like a millstone.

"I see……"

Jiang Wen suddenly withdrew his palms and sat upright, and when he waved his sleeves, the sleeves turned into ashes and flew, and a big hole was burned out where they touched.

"This holy fire skill is as strong as it is yang, and it is similar to the Nine Suns Divine Kungfu that I have practiced. However, Nine Suns Divine Kungfu is originally an inscrutable Taoist martial art. It is masculine born from the extreme yin and softness. Combined, the magic is infinite.”

He swung a wave of vigor in the air, and the Madonna of the Red Lotus could only feel the scorching sun and hot breath around her. The temperature in the narrow carriage rose several degrees in an instant, and the hot wind hit her face, but there was no feeling of burning pain.

"And this sacred fire art is like a flame that bursts out from the emptiness of the universe, from the coldest to the quietest. It is born to ignite everything. The human body is originally a balance of yin and yang. If a man practices yang plus yang, his meridians will burn to death soon , and only virgins of Xuanyin can learn."

Jiang Wen's eyes were full of such expressions, and his speech speed became faster and faster, "However, the three yangs come together, and the three yins should not be taken care of. With the entry of the holy fire kung fu, one day the yang heat will be too strong, and the yin body will become After all, firewood is limited, so it is doomed to be injured. In my opinion, it is necessary to use "Ice True Qi" to stop the deer cart, "Nine Suns Magical Skills" to relieve the fatigue of the ox cart, and "Nine Yin Scriptures" to pull the ox cart The trap of "Yi Jin Shen Gong" is also to harmonize the scatter of energy and spirit!"

Jiang Wen borrowed these words from medical skills, mainly to show his professionalism. If he explained it in his own words, the scorching sun is like an overheated car engine, which will catch fire at any time.

The solution is probably to use "Ice True Qi" to slam on the brakes first, add some gasoline to maintain power in "Nine Suns Magic", adjust the direction of driving with "Nine Yin Scriptures", and finally rely on "Yijin Magic" to do the driving. One return to the factory for overhaul, just maintain the whole.

This method is easy to say, but it is already an extraordinary talent for ordinary people to master one internal skill, how can it be possible to master so many internal skills at the same time, and use whatever they need?

"Jiang Daochang, the method you said is too bizarre, I'm sorry I can't understand it..."

The Madonna of the Red Lotus spoke in confusion, and felt a little embarrassed, "Even if someone can do this, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. I don't want people to waste their skills like this, just for my own benefit."

Jiang Wen saw that she didn't speak, and was still in a daze. The Madonna of Red Lotus suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that the person opposite was looking at him on the surface, but was actually looking at another person who was not there.

Jiang Wen did think of another person.

The reason why the "Nine Nether Scriptures" can restrain the disadvantages of the holy fire skill may be that the rules and attributes between the ghost kingdom in Haoli and the yang world are all opposite, and everything that dominates is extremely cold, and it is indeed possible keep it steady.

But what Jiang Wen cares more about is the person who invented this masculine and domineering inner strength.

He must be in a kind of extreme pain. This flame that burns until eternity is just a manifestation of his burst of vitality in the helpless loneliness, a memory engraved in his body and mind tortured day and night.

Only in this way will he burn desperately, forget the warmth, generosity and kindness he once had, regain the hatred and wandering in his childhood, recall the death of his beloved relatives, the bitterness of the sinister world, and remember even A master who is unparalleled in the world, he has to condescend and bow his head to others for him...

"Miss Ling, forgive me for calling you that."

Jiang Wen's tone was slightly deep, with a wry smile on his face, "You are a blessed person, even if you are in a desperate situation, someone will always remember you. Even if it is purely out of profit, Mr. Ding is staying in Fuzhou City now, and he is the best protector of Hongyang." Candidates—this may or may not have been a deliberate arrangement before Shengtong Hongyang left."

The Madonna of Red Lotus lowered her eyes slightly, gently stroking the hideous scar on her face.

"I don't even know whether I am alive or dead. If he stays or leaves, what can I do?"

This pair of fateful mandarin ducks really had a long way to go. Jiang Wen could see that the Madonna of the Red Lotus was complaining on the surface that Mr. Ding had been pretending to be indifferent these years, but in fact she thought that her life was not long and she was unwilling to drag the other party down.

And Mr. Ding also knew that he had already broken the other party's heart by pretending to be unfeeling back then, so he could only continue to stay in the corner cautiously, for fear that the Madonna of Red Lotus would show a disgusted attitude and enter a state of extreme tension.

In the end, out of sight and out of mind, Our Lady of the Red Lotus simply took the opportunity to return to Quanzhou to avoid facing these knots.

"There is always a way. For example, I will deal with the internal hidden dangers of the Holy Fire Kungfu."

Jiang Wen said without refusal, "You can prolong your life for at least ten years with my method, which should be enough to find a solution."

The Madonna of Red Lotus' eyes moved slightly, as if she didn't expect Jiang Wen to be so generous and insist on meddling in her own affairs.

"But I have one condition."

Jiang Wen stretched out a finger and said very seriously.

The Madonna of the Red Lotus also responded calmly.

"Even if Daoist Jiang speaks, the Hongyang Sect will definitely think hard and dare not violate it."

"It doesn't need to be so complicated, you moved the coffin of King Xiaoming from the Hutai Water Pavilion to the Dawang Peak in Wuyi Mountain, it's as simple as that."

Jiang Wen looked at her, ignoring all doubts.

He spoke quietly to the person in front of him, but it was more like wanting his words to drift to some illusory place—there might be vaguely similar mountains and rivers and old people there, looking back and waiting for Liren.

"Brother Wuji, I'm here to take you home."
