Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 155

Thousands of rock springs are sprinkled, and thousands of valley trees are lingering. As the mountains at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong gradually disappear, the dense river network begins to reveal its true face. Many official roads are difficult to navigate due to rainwater, so boating has become a better choice. .

"Master Jiang, we'll be there just one more turn of the waterway ahead, and we've paid for the fundraiser, so let's get on the boat."

Zhou Long, who was big and rough, came over, his tone was respectful but not slanderous, obviously he had already figured out the unsophisticated human relationships and sophistication in the world.

He could see that Jiang Wen liked being called the head of the sect, so he deliberately flattered him so lightly, so that he could invite a real Buddha for his Vajra Sect, so as to keep the road safe.

After being together for a few days, the members of the Vajra Sect found out slowly and helplessly that they might not even be able to beat two children if they left this Taoist priest who made the head of the family in awe.

In the past few days, the people have changed from land to water, and they have traveled down the river for several miles, and now they are finally approaching the destination of this trip.

A group of people stood on a strong Guangzhou boat and sailed on the calm river. They saw a prosperous and beautiful land surrounded by Haochi and surrounded by the sea on six sides. On the other side, the terrain is low-lying and the river network is densely covered. It is only one step away from the sea.

Seeing the embankments emerge endlessly, they shuttled through the port like ants on a solid boat. The people who have lived in the north for a long time have a feeling of a drop in the ocean, and the boats and cars along the way are all empty.

Jiang Wen took it for granted, and was not too surprised by the gray wooden boat in front of him, but was slightly surprised that Pingnan Wang Shang's family was so bold that they dared to take out a thin, pointed-bottomed wide boat with a low head and a high tail, and a narrow top and a narrow bottom. customer profit.

Isn't it a good way to show loyalty to the Qing court by abusing such ships that are good enough to serve as warships at this time?

"Boss Zhou, you are being polite. I will settle the expenses along the way when I arrive in Guangzhou City. I can't take advantage of you."

Zhou Long was also very helpful when he heard the first three words of the chief escort, but he didn't pick up the words, but enthusiastically introduced the things about Guangzhou City.

"Master Jiang, your trip is just in time. Guangzhou City is very lively now. If you miss it, you will regret it forever."

Jiang Wen also asked a little curiously: "I was a little curious from the beginning, what are the two exciting things you mentioned earlier, and why did they make people in the world flock to them?"

People in the Jianghu are so lively that they can't get rid of their temper. It is said that there are Shaolin Wudangs secretly competing in Guangzhou, which is a good thing that people flock to.For the Xiaomen Xiaopai, if they can get a little bit of benefits in Taishan Beidou, they will not be able to use it up.

But now, is there anything more exciting than the two big bosses fighting?Could it be that Shunzhi set up a ring in the city to fight an unrestricted fight with Emperor Yongli of Nanming who fled far away from Yunnan and Guizhou?

"Master Jiang, I dare to ask, what do you think everyone likes in this Jianghu?"

Jiang Wen was taken aback by this question.

He put his hands on the side of the boat and stared at the rolling golden scales and broken leaves of the Pearl River. He circled the city and headed for the sea. Slowly said the answer in his heart.

"Wake up and control the power of the world, and lie drunk on the knees of beauties. That must be power, wealth and beauties!"

"...Master Jiang is indeed a man of temperament."

Zhou Long almost fell down in fright.

Why does this sound so rebellious?As a Taoist priest, it is natural for him to speak like this, is it really appropriate to say that he is full of wine, sex and wealth?

But he thought about it again, the hero in front of him could speak so nakedly in front of him, maybe he regarded him as a trustworthy person, so he immediately showed a smile that any man could understand, and slowly stretched out a thumbs up to praise.

"Master Jiang is really quick to speak! Then tell me, if you can combine these three things now, wouldn't it be the most rare and beautiful thing in the Jianghu!"

Zhou Long said with a look of longing, and introduced the most commendable things in Guangzhou at the moment.

One is that a senior Jianghu in the city will hold a "Golden Basin Hand Washing Conference" ten days later, announcing his complete withdrawal from the Jianghu.Guests from all over the world were invited to witness this prosperous age. After all, Foshan next to Guangzhou City is a famous hometown of martial arts.

Although the golden basin washing hands is lively, the key is not here.

Everyone knows that this wealthy senior is old, but there is only one daughter in his family. The so-called "washing hands in the golden basin" is not important at all. Anyway, this senior has stopped walking around the rivers and lakes ten years ago. This grand event was just held for the only daughter in the family who was about to enter the rivers and lakes to build momentum, and to continue the glory of the martial arts family.

Heroes have been in the world for many years, and there are always two enemies. The sons and daughters of the world are old, and they don't want to make progress under the fame.

Don't you see that even the hero Guo Jing wants to find a good husband for his eldest daughter who is not well-known, and put him on the horse and see him off?

At this time, the signal was already very clear. If someone could take this opportunity to gain insight, he might be able to marry Meijiao Niang and inherit the wealth of the Wanguan family, and enjoy the attention of everyone as a famous family in the future.

"Chief Escort Zhou, may I ask if you are married?"

Jiang Wen looked suspiciously at this unshaven, round-faced man, who seemed so excited. Could it be that he is just mature, but actually just grown up?
Zhou Long put away the longing look on his face in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Master Jiang is laughing, my child is eight years old."

He also patted Jiang Wen's flattery, "Master Jiang, you are young and promising, with high martial arts skills, and you have a great reputation at such an age. I think you only need to change to this Taoist robe, and you may be able to become the champion..."

"Stop it!"

Jiang Wen looked at the other party with a dark face, helped the crown of the Five Sacred Mountains on his head, and recited the blessing of immeasurable longevity.

"It's so nice to say, isn't this just getting married? My Wuyi faction has a huge foundation and I still worry about no one inheriting it. How can I have the time to fight for these petty profits?"

Jiang Wen is not lying, a barren mountain as big as Dawang Peak has not been dealt with, so how can he have fantasies about his son and daughter's affair?

What's more, this matter is simply nonsense.

At first, Jiang Wen thought that he had just escaped from the plot of the Fuwei Escort's massacre, and turned around to trigger the plot of the Hengshan School Liu Zhengfeng washing his hands in a golden basin. Then he looked at the three unlucky apprentices he brought, could it be that he got it? Is it Yue Buqun's script?
But when he heard what the other party said about the plot of Jack Su, the only daughter in the family and the rich family, the guess was instantly shattered. What's the use of the other party being beautiful?Wouldn't it be better if you want to have a soft meal and just go to Mingjiao?
"President Zhou, so what's the name of this martial arts senior?"

Jiang Wen asked another question casually.

Zhou Long hurriedly cupped his hands towards the sea and the sky, appearing to be very respectful: "That's the elder Luo, who 'presses the green forest with a golden knife'. It's taboo to go up and down!"

After some polite words, Jiang Wen was basically sure that the other party had listened too much to Pingshu Romance, otherwise, as a Lianjiazi in Jinzhong, he would worship the characters in Jianghu far away in Guangdong with all his body, and there was probably moisture in it.

Besides, who is this Luo Yuantong?
Jiang Wen has never been to Guangdong when he traveled the rivers and lakes in the past few years, and he has never heard of these deeds. After thinking about it, he never thought of a hero with this name in the fourteen golden books. Could it be a local hero born in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?

"Boss Chief Zhou, why are you talking so lively? Do you want to divorce your wife and abandon your son to gain a career?"

Jiang Wen joked maliciously.

Zhou Long laughed loudly, his round face showed no sign of malice, and he patted the escort car behind him.

"I don't have that much thought. The reason why I understand so clearly is because my elder brother wrote a book to tell me. The thing escorted by the escort this time is the treasured sword made by the old man for thousands of dollars, and it can be safely delivered to the mansion and received by the family. Hospitality is enough."

Several times on the way, Jiang Wen planned to see the true face of this precious sword, but he was embarrassed to mention it when he saw the nervous appearance of the Vajra Gate, for fear that the other party would treat himself as a villain and take strict precautions—these people would fight with Yan because of suspicion. In the bloody battle of the Qingquan School, I always felt that there was something wrong with my brain after practicing horizontally.

Jiang Wen thought about it carefully, and felt that he didn't need to get involved in this matter at all, so let these people in the Jianghu make trouble, but he can borrow the vortex of the Jianghu in Guangzhou to earn some extra fame and fortune.

Reminiscent of the old senior Luo in the city who was already old, and wanted to build up momentum for his daughter's future status in the world, and burn out the last sliver of heat, Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel a little bit sad in his heart.

Jiang Wen turned his head and glanced at the apprentices overlooking the Pearl River.

Hong Wen stood steady against the wind and waves, as if he wanted to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts from the vast sea. Xiao Shitou was practicing volleyball with the disciples of the Vajra Sect, and the ping-pong on his body did not hurt at all, while Fu Ningdie had no eyesight. Godly entered a state of seasickness, hugging his thigh and refusing to let go.

From now on, these three little guys will probably be companions in this river and lake, and they should do what the head of the sect should do, paving the way for these apprentices in advance.

"Hero Jiang, why are you silent all of a sudden? I haven't talked about the second thing yet."

Seeing that Jiang Wen was silent, Zhou Long thought that he was moved by this matter, but he was too embarrassed to speak out because of his feelings, so he continued with a silly smile.

"The second thing I want to talk about is somewhat similar to what happened to Senior Luo."

"Recently, on Xiguan Street, a wealthy family set up a ring. Anyone who wins will give a thousand taels of silver. To win the top spot is also a first-class limelight."

This excitement is much more simple and unpretentious, the stories of fighting in the ring have been passed down from generation to generation, unless these two excitements are combined, and Miss Qianjin competes in the ring to recruit relatives, then Jiang Wen is willing to go up and join in the fun.

But this possibility is unlikely, after all, Miss Yueru of the Lin family is only seven years old this year, no matter how messed up the script is, it can't be so handcuffed.

"Thank you Chief Security Chief Zhou for your kindness. It's a pity that Jiang has no intention of participating in these two incidents. It's a waste of your hospitality."

Staying away from the right and wrong center and making a fortune silently is the principle of Jiang Wen's trip. Xiguan Street and Luo's Mansion were immediately listed as forbidden places by Jiang Wen, and he decided to hide as far away as possible.

"It's okay, I'm just saying it casually."

Zhou Long waved his hand with a smile, and suddenly pointed to the distance, "Good guy, such a big city!"

During the time of chatting, the short voyage soon came to an end. As the shadow of the sail faded away, a wide city, Yudai Hao, connecting the East Haochong in the east and the West Haochong in the west, came into view immediately. The moat, which is more than [-] meters wide and more than [-] feet wide, winds under the towering south city wall, guarding the city like a jade belt.

The passenger unloading pier was located on Haopan Street, and the crowd unloaded and led the cars as the Guangzhou Ship docked. Following the flow of people, they came to the pier street and inquired about their final destination.

What's interesting is that the team that originally claimed to be the Vajra Gate all the way stayed near the pier, and all the members of the gate smiled tacitly.

A few disciples skillfully replaced the unremarkable small flag on the escort vehicle with a group embroidered black tiger walking dart flag fluttering in the wind, and erected it on the most obvious high place, shouting the name of Xinglong Escort Agency along the way. No.

This time, even the injured disciples pulled off their gowns in the winter, revealing their black and fluffy chests, like a group of mighty masters who finally won after days of hard work, and immediately deceived the respect of many people along the way.

Zhou Longling, the head of the Xinglong Escort Bureau and the head of Vajra Fist, was walking majestically in front of the convoy, and the team was heading towards the Luo Mansion in a mighty manner. The tall and majestic figure was quite eye-catching.

But when he saw Jiang Wen and his party following behind in a carriage to watch the excitement, he hurriedly fell behind a few steps and spoke to him in a low voice.

"Master Jiang made you laugh. We have no choice but to do this."

Seeing that the character who looked like Xiong Wei just now is now obsequious, Fu Ningdie laughed out loud, and was pushed back into the carriage by Jiang Wen abruptly, and ended the topic with cupped fists.

"You don't need to worry about Chief Escort Zhou. Mr. Jiang knows all these things, so you can do it yourself. Thanks to your guidance and arrangement along the way."

Zhou Longyuan showed a naive smile on his face, accepted the favor in a unique way of Jianghu, turned around and continued to open the way ahead.

"Master, you are so majestic! Is the reputation of our Wuyi faction in the Jianghu so resounding!"

Ever since Fu Ningdie saw Jiang Wen not saying a word and being treated respectfully along the way, she obviously had some illusions, and began to wonder if Jiang Wen was so famous outside without telling him that he was consciously diligent even in practicing kung fu Not a lot.

However, the Wuyi faction has a reputation for farts.

Thanks to the child's great forgetfulness, otherwise Fu Ningdie should have remembered that when they first entered Fuzhou City, all of them were almost driven out by people as a gang of beggars.

"Ningdie, you have to remember that righteousness is always the first priority in the world, and profit is the most important thing. Even if you don't have face, someone will give you two points."

Jiang Wen drove the carriage slowly, turned his head and explained to the little apprentice, "When you have practiced martial arts well, you will know that everything will go smoothly if you gain face, and it will be difficult to move an inch if you lose face. I don't like you as a teacher." It’s always right to remember these hardships.”

Jiang Wen understands what Zhou Long is doing now.

Ever since Zhou Long's senior brother got involved in the Southern Shaolin affairs, the mess that had been left behind was thrown on him without explanation. Therefore, this man from a merchant family in Shanxi had to find a way out for his down-and-out fellow seniors. .

Although his family is rich, they are not some wealthy businessmen who spend money like water, and cannot afford to support so many people.After thinking about it, he felt that these unprofessional and trouble-making quacks could not do business, and they couldn't support their families for nothing. Maybe they could engage in the most prosperous escort business at present and earn money with their kung fu.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, a group of unknown bodyguards naturally can't get any business, they can only pick up some leftovers, without oil and water, until today when they escort the treasured sword from Jingchu to Guangzhou, it is considered that they have really made a name for themselves Opportunity.

Dart walking must have its own way, or subdue, or bribe, or make good friends with black and white forces along the road, and slowly open up a safe commercial dart line, in order to bring a steady stream of stable income, and like this across The darts in several provinces were too dangerous, so they fell into the hands of the little-known Xinglong Escort.

Therefore, Jiang Wen knew that when this new bodyguard agency opened, it had no money and no one, so it could only bite the bullet and go on. There is a chance of snowballing benign development.

Vajra Fist was originally a hard work method in Shaolin Kungfu to exercise the hardness of the fists and the strength of the arms, thereby changing the bone density of the fists and arms.To practice this skill, use the method of pushing the tripod and climbing the scorpion to exercise every day to enhance the resistance and striking ability of the fist face of the double fist.

Zhou Long's martial arts practiced well in the door, and he was born as a merchant. His brain and tongue were not slowed down. Although judging from the information fed back by the Tianyancha system, the other party can only be regarded as a second-rate figure in the world, but Jiang Wen is quite optimistic about him. Future prospects.

After all, this person is willing to use his brain.

"Chief Escort Zhou, we will be at the Luo Mansion ahead, and we, the master and apprentice, will take our leave first, and we will chat with you another day!"

This journey went smoothly together, and Jiang Wen didn't intend to accept this reward for nothing. Seeing that the matter was in order, he left the Luo family's mansion without hesitation, and walked farther and farther without even revealing where he was staying.

Ma Dashan now changed his name and changed his surname to Guangzhou. It was a good place to stay, but he might meet Yuan Ziyi and Yan Yongchun. It would be embarrassing if he bumped into each other. The reason for coming to Guangzhou is not considered for the time being.

Furthermore, given the sensitivity of his current identity, his identity as a messenger of the Jingnan Palace must not be used. Even the relationship with the Fuwei Escort Agency may have been targeted by others, and rash contact with the Guangzhou branch could easily lead to fire.

The safest way is instead to be the head of the little-known Wuyi sect in his own family. There are endless sects emerging in Guangzhou and Foshan every year, and they can be naturally integrated into the local martial arts.

People who should understand this identity will naturally understand it, and those who don't don't mind it. You can definitely take this opportunity of traveling in Guangzhou to make a name for yourself, and take the opportunity to make a name for the Wuyi faction. More convenience, at least one more plausible vest.

"I don't know where South Shaolin is stationed in Guangzhou now?"

Jiang Wen rubbed his chin, he has taken care of Hong Xiguan's son for so long, why should he be responsible for the basic necessities of life as a landlord, right?
Besides, since ancient times, the family of monks and Taoists, as a Taoist priest, went to temples to place orders, and it was only natural that he could also contact the forces of the rivers and lakes and promote the name of the Wuyi School, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Taking advantage of just after noon, Jiang Wen first went to Nanchan Temple, where it was rumored that people from Zhongnan Shaolin disciples gathered, but found nothing, so he simply drove through several ancient temples and Zen forests in the city, inquiring about the whereabouts of Nan Shaolin everywhere.

However, after some inquiring, he suddenly discovered that no temple knew the whereabouts of Nan Shaolin, as if the power that caused the storm did not exist in Guangzhou City at all.

Jiang Wen, who didn't believe in evil, continued to search, guessing in his heart that because Nan Shaolin was beaten into a traitor, no one dared to admit that he was involved with them.The strong dragon is not as good as the local snake, and the unknown mountain sect like the Wuyi sect is also difficult to connect to the information line in the martial arts, which makes it particularly incompatible.

After searching for a while, Jiang Wen and his party still found nothing, and they could only honestly find an inn to stay in like a countryman entering the city.

Jiang Wen gritted his teeth, parked his car and untied his horse, and stayed in an inn outside Guide Gate. He decided to wait until dark before asking local snakes for news, or he could take his apprentice to see that figure that is everywhere but mysterious. The huge organization of Zhenrong——

beggars.
