Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 466: Martial Arts Event
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Xiang Danian brought his wife Jiang Yingying to the Ou Mansion again to pay a visit to his master and mistress, and sincerely invited them to stay at his home.

Old Liu was very pleased with his apprentice's filial piety, and then gently rejected him.

"Master, why is this? My eldest brother is your disciple, and so am I!" Xiang Da Nian asked somewhat aggrievedly.

"Because this is also my grandson's home!" Liu Zhengfeng explained cheerfully, "Besides, I will be leaving for Liaodong in half a month, and I won't be used to living at your place."

After listening to this, Xiang Danian finally understood.

He chatted with Lao Liu for a while and demonstrated his martial arts to his master.

Although Old Liu's strength did not improve, his vision improved a lot. He pointed out that many of Xiang Da Nian's moves were not flexible enough, allowing him to find someone to practice with in his spare time.

It was not until the evening that Ou Zanghua came back and called him into the study.

Ou Zanghua made a cup of tea for Xiang Danian, sat opposite him, and asked calmly: "Now Liaodong and Northwest are both in need of people, are you willing to go to Liaodong, or continue to return to Northwest?"

After hearing this, Xiang Danian couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons in his mind. The advantage of Liaodong is that it is relatively close to the capital and there are many fellow martial artists there.

But Northwest.
After thinking carefully, Xiang Danian looked at Ou Zanghua and said seriously: "Big Brother, Lord Wang has cultivated me, and Big Brother doesn't have anyone in the northwest that I can completely trust. I'd better go to the northwest!"

"Yeah, that's fine."

Ou Zanghua nodded and said, "This time Wang Yangming has made great contributions and recovered parts of Hami and Turpan. The court intends to turn that area into a new provincial government and name it Anxi. Wang Yangming will become the first governor of Ganxi."

"However, the imperial court is currently short of funds and cannot provide more support to the Anxi Provincial Administration Office in the short term. You still have to rely on yourselves."

"When the treasury is full, Your Majesty plans to relocate 100,000 people from Hanzhong to Ganxi."

Xiang Danian listened very carefully, because he knew that Ou Zanghua was not speaking to him, but to Wang Yangming.

He believed that with Wang Yangming's talent, he would be able to make good use of this information.

After finishing the conversation, Ou Zanghua looked at Xiang Danian and asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about letting Jiang go with you to the northwest?"

Xiang Danian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at his senior brother and asked, "Can I take it with me? When I saw my senior brother leading troops outside, I always waited for him in the capital!"

Ou Zanghua was speechless and couldn't help but complain: "You are not a provincial governor, why can't you bring it?"

"Hehe. I'll take it!" Xiang Danian chuckled twice and said firmly.

After the first month of the year, two imperial edicts spread throughout the world.

One was that the imperial court divided the recovered areas of Hami and part of Turpan together and named it Anxi Provincial Administration, with Wang Yangming as the Governor-General of Ganxi and Governor of Anxi, and Wang Chengyu as the Governor of Gansu, who was recommended by Wang Yangming and Ou Zanghua.

This person was the fifth son of Wang Shu, the former Minister of Personnel and Prince Taibao. He became a Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi's reign. He had served as the Military Secretary and Nanjing Taichang Qing. He was one of the few people in the court who was familiar with the Shaanxi-Gansu region and knew about military affairs.

Because of his meritorious service, Xiang Danian was recommended by Wang Yangming to serve as the commander of the Red Gold Guard.

This imperial edict made everyone in the Ming Dynasty know that the court had won another victory and recovered a large amount of land, which excited the people of the world. The second imperial edict caused a carnival among the martial arts people. The court opened up the Liaodong region and invited heroes from all over the world to go to that vast land to develop their own brilliant careers. They only needed to go to the local government to apply for a pass, and they could go to Liaodong openly on the official road.

Later, with the help of the Beggars' Gang, the news that one could learn martial arts from various sects for five taels of silver for a Jurchen head spread rapidly throughout the Central Plains.

After hearing this, many martial artists were extremely excited.

Back then, for a copy of the "Bixie Sword Manual", the Qingcheng Sect traveled across five provinces to the Fujian Provincial Administration Office to destroy the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Earlier, the five greatest masters of the world fought on the top of Mount Hua for seven days and seven nights for a copy of the Nine Yin Scriptures.

This shows how attractive a martial arts secret book is to people in the martial arts world.

Nowadays, these martial arts sects completely disregard the traditional qualifications and background checks. As long as gold, silver and treasures are in place, they will gladly open their doors to teach martial arts. This is an unprecedented good thing.

All of a sudden, those government offices that were once regarded as a scourge by the martial arts community and avoided by everyone suddenly became popular places that everyone was eager to get. Every day, countless martial arts people came with swords, guns, sticks and clubs to apply for passes, and then they went to Liaodong with nothing else in their hands, full of enthusiasm.

In the Shaolin Temple, the abbot Master Fang Jing has been keeping a low profile during this period. He has basically been in seclusion in the Bodhidharma Cave, transforming the internal force of the "Yi Jin Jing" left to him by his senior brother Master Fang Zheng into his own.

As the last step was completed, he slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with emotion.

Now that his internal strength has been perfected, practicing the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills will be twice as effective with half the effort. The first martial art he chose was his senior brother's specialty, the Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm.

The moment he slowly walked out of the Bodhidharma Cave, he was surprised to find that several fellow disciples had been waiting outside. Their figures were elongated in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking particularly solemn.

"Amitabha, nice to meet the abbot!" When the fellow disciples saw him appear, they immediately put their hands together and bowed to greet him.

"Hello, brothers and sisters."

Master Fang Jing smiled and returned the greetings one by one. Then he looked a little hesitant and asked softly, "You are all waiting here, but what is the important matter?"

"Abbot, an unprecedented event has indeed occurred. The imperial court has announced to the world, inviting all heroes and outlaws to go to Liaodong to make their fortune."

Master Fang Sheng said solemnly: "Many of my Shaolin Temple's lay disciples have already set out together."

Another Master Fang Ping also spoke up, "The Beggars' Sect disciples spread rumors that the commander of the Liaodong Provincial Administration Office is Zuo Lengchan, Master Zuo Bo. I contacted the Songshan Sect disciples and found that half of them had already left for Liaodong a year ago."

"Since Songshan has already moved, it may not be too late to go to Hengshan Mountain in the south, Hengshan Mountain in the north, and Huashan Mountain in the west." Master Fang Cheng said with a distressed look.

After listening to his fellow disciples, Master Fang Jing spoke calmly, "Amitabha, a Zen mind does not get involved in worldly affairs, and the bright moon and fresh breeze are at ease. Everything in the world has a destiny, which cannot be forced or rushed. Since the opportunity has been lost and cannot be recovered, why not slow down and return to your original heart?"

"May I ask, Abbot, what is one's original mind?" Master Fang Sheng asked modestly.

Master Fang Jing half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "Promote Buddhism and save all living beings."

After hearing this, the eyes of many Fang masters suddenly lit up and they all started chanting Buddhist names.
