Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 287: Damn, Zhu Yuanzhang?

The Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is the best horizontal palm technique in the world.

According to legend, this is the ancestral martial arts of the Beggars' Sect, which consists of twenty-eight palms. Later, a gang leader named Qiao simplified it into eighteen palms by removing the dross and retaining the essence.

Later it was passed on to another leader of the Beggars' Sect named Hong.

Finally, it was passed on to the world-famous hero Guo Da Xia. It was Guo Da Xia's strongest palm technique. In Guo Da Xia's hands, it became the best palm technique in the world.

But later, when Xiangyang City was broken, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, like Wu Mu's testament, were passed on to his two disciples by the hero Guo.

As well as several elders of the Beggars' Sect, the city was broken and under the iron hoof of Mu Lan's army, not to mention Guo Da Xia's disciples, even Guo Da Xia himself could not escape and died in the battle of Xiangyang City.

However, several elders who had been taught the skills survived.

Some of them defected to the imperial court, and the imperial court took this opportunity to seize the best palm technique in the world.

Unfortunately, when Master Guo was passing on his skills, he was afraid that they would be obtained by evil people, so after passing on the skills, he disrupted them.

The elder who surrendered to the court only knew six palms, but later the court arrested other people and tortured them to extract confessions. Finally, after unremitting efforts, they finally got seven palms.

At this time, it was combined with the six palms of the previous Elders' Council and became the Thirteen Styles of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms in the hands of the court.

Chen Jie took the secret book of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms handed to him by the old man.

It only read: [The Essence of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms]

Chen Jie thanked the old man, who nodded and left the scene quietly. Watching the old man leave, Chen Jie frowned slightly. This old man was very powerful. His footsteps landed silently, and he must be a master of Qing Kung Fu.

Moreover, influenced by the TV dramas in his previous life, Chen Jie instinctively felt that those who could guard the secret books in such a place must be great seniors, who might even be like the sweeping monk. Therefore, Chen Jie was also very polite to them.

At this time, the old man left, and Chen Jie also opened the secret book of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

The first page of the secret book was the table of contents, which recorded in detail the eighteen moves of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

Chen Jie began to look through it carefully.

The Eighteen Palms of Capturing the Dragon, the first move: Flying dragon in the sky, followed by seeing the dragon in the field, dragon fighting in the wild, crossing the river, a wild goose gradually landing on the land, or leaping in the abyss, coming suddenly, shocking a hundred miles away, two dragons taking water, fish leaping in the abyss... The dragon wags its tail, and the arrogant dragon regrets!

Chen Jie read it from beginning to end and studied the eighteen palms carefully.

I found that in addition to the following five palms: [Time Carrying Six Dragons] [Dense Clouds Without Rain] [Antelope Touching the Fence] [Dragon Swinging Its Tail] [Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets]

In addition, the other thirteen palms are recorded in great detail.

Chen Jie originally knew five palms, but they overlapped with the thirteen palms. This time he learned eight more palms, which greatly improved his strength. Moreover, his palm techniques in future battles will become more diverse and he will be able to respond more calmly.

In this way, Chen Jie's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

At this time, Chen Jie began to study seriously under the dim oil lamp.

First of all, this time, Chen Jie has formed a system of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. He has the sequence of the first thirteen palms, so he is more relaxed when practicing.

At the same time, Chen Jie also discovered that there were some minor problems in the details of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms he was practicing. Now with the full reference of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie was able to quickly fix some of the previous minor problems and make his palm technique closer to perfection.

Chen Jie looked at the hard-earned essence of the palm technique very seriously and studied the contents carefully.

In fact, the first twelve of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms are divided into two factions, and these two factions have two representative moves.

One is the one that Chen Jie practiced before, Flying Dragon in the Sky.

This palm strike can be followed by a leap into the abyss, or a fish leaping into the abyss, both are fine, because this move represents the flying move.

If you encounter an air battle during a fight, use this move. A dragon will fly in the sky, followed by a leap into the abyss. The whole process does not touch the ground. This move emphasizes the use of the weak to defeat the strong, and it is a first-class palm technique.

Have you ever heard of the palm technique that falls from the sky?

This is Fei Long Zai Tian, ​​the representative of this series of moves.

The next group that follows is Jian Long Zai Tian.

What does "seeing a dragon in the field" mean? It is the method of land warfare, that is, to be down-to-earth, to attack, to step on the earth, and then take root in the earth. Afterwards, whether you connect with the wild goose on land or cross the river, all are possible.

This faction can be called the land warfare faction.

After that, there is the Canglong School, whose representative move is the strongest move among the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms: The arrogant dragon will regret.

Then there are skills such as the Dragon's Tail and Dense Clouds without Rain.

This is Cang Long. The Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms contains the ultimate principles of the Book of Changes. Whether it is in the air or on land, its power is not as strong as Cang!

It's a pity that the last five palms are not available in Ruyang Palace, otherwise Chen Jie's strength can be greatly improved, and he can even learn the complete Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. The power of this set of palm techniques is even stronger than the combination of Changchun Gong and Xia Zi Jue. Chen Jie even suspects that only the power generated by the fusion of the three gods of Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon can be compared with the complete Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

But now the most powerful Five Hidden Dragon Palms is missing, and only the Twelve Moves of Flying Dragon and Land Dragon are perfect. The power of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms should be only slightly stronger than the Xia Characteristic alone.

Weaker than the combination of Summer and Spring.

After seeing the power of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie was quite satisfied.

So in this Sutra Library, he carefully studied the essence of the palm techniques and mastered all of them. Chen Jie felt that some of his shortcomings in fighting moves were made up and his strength was greatly improved.

Seeing Chen Jie immersed in his studies, the old man in the Sutra Library walked away from a distance with his hands behind his back.

Everyone wants to learn top-level martial arts. In fact, the best is what suits oneself. However, this young man is really amazing. At such a young age, his strength has reached the dragon level. He is really a little monster.

Thinking that the old man had left the fourth floor, Chen Jie was the only one left who was obsessed with the essence of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

Seeing the magic, Chen Jie couldn't help but try it out, and suddenly a dragon roar resounded throughout the library.

Ow...

Everyone looked up in surprise, and the old man appeared at the scene for the first time. Looking at Chen Jie, who was in a state of enlightenment and still waving his hands alone, he went straight to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie slapped him with his palm and suddenly woke up the next moment.

Oh no, this is the Sutra Library. Although I only used less than 20% of my strength in that palm strike just now, when I use the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, it is still extremely powerful. I must not blow up this Sutra Library, otherwise King Ruyang will come after me and fight me to the death.

Just when Chen Jie thought he was in trouble, the old man in the Sutra Library walked straight up to Chen Jie and waved his hand to make a palm seal with Chen Jie.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, but there was no horrible explosion sound that Chen Jie had imagined. The power of Chen Jie's palm was actually absorbed by the old man, and not a trace of energy was released.

At this time, the old man's gray robe bulged up, and his hair flew up, absorbing all the power of Chen Jie's palm.

"Young man, you can't do whatever you want here!"

The old man took Chen Jie's palm and spoke in a flat voice, as if he had seen many such things.

Chen Jie also woke up from his state of enlightenment at this time. He quickly stood up and saluted to the old man: "Thank you, senior."

Today, it was all thanks to this old man, otherwise I would have been in real trouble. If he had destroyed the four-level martial arts secret book with one palm strike, it would have been a waste of resources, and Chen Jie would never forgive himself.

Now, the old man absorbed all of Chen Jie's excess energy without causing any damage.

This made Chen Jie breathe a sigh of relief. The old man looked at the burnt-out lamp oil and the bright daylight outside and said, "Young man, your time is up. Please come in."

Chen Jie closed the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms in his hand and returned it to the old man.

Every word in this book has been imprinted in Chen Jie's mind. After reading this book last night, Chen Jie suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, and learning martial arts in a state of enlightenment is twice as effective with half the effort.

Moreover, in the state of sudden enlightenment, I didn’t know what time was, and before I knew it, a night had passed.

No wonder the immortal cultivators in the novels about cultivating immortals say that they would spend hundreds of years in seclusion before coming out.

Chen Jie used to be puzzled. How boring it would be to sit alone in a cave for a hundred years without a mobile phone or computer?

It was not until then that Chen Jie understood that when a person concentrates on doing something, he will fall into a mysterious state. In this state, time does not exist.

Maybe you have an epiphany and open your eyes, and a day has passed, or maybe a hundred years have passed.

The fate of chess!

Chen Jie thought of a word, then shook his head, dismissed all these thoughts, bowed to the old man, and returned the secret book of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

The old man said to Chen Jie, "You all know the rules, right? The martial arts you learned in this Sutra Library are not allowed to be passed on to others. Otherwise, the Ruyang Palace has the right to take back the martial arts you learned and abolish your cultivation."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Yes, I understand."

Chen Jie knew that such martial arts skills were not allowed to be taught privately. This rule was not only in place in the Ruyang Palace, but also in his Fishing Gang. If the secret book rewarded to subordinates spread it around blindly, then other people would no longer think of making contributions to this force in exchange for the secret book.

Instead, he wanted to obtain the skills from those who had already obtained the secret manuals at a lower cost.

This kind of behavior that bypasses the big forces and benefits individuals is absolutely not allowed, otherwise how can the big forces maintain their reward and punishment functions?

Therefore, any martial arts skills of any major force are not allowed to be taught privately, and anyone found out will be severely punished.

Of course, there are also some social conventions involved, and the specific degree of this needs to be considered. For example, Chen Jie once exchanged the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms with Asan, but it was witnessed by the princess, so until now no one has caused trouble for him or Asan.

To put it bluntly, the rules have been set, but the yardstick of judgment is in the hands of those in power. If they say you are fine, then you are fine.

In other words, your power has far surpassed the power that made the rules, or you can compete with this power, then you can use the skills you obtained from this power.

For example, if Chen Jie is stronger than King Ruyang, then Chen Jie can give the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to whoever he is willing to give it to. After all, King Ruyang will not turn against you for this.

Therefore, Chen Jie has always understood one thing: rules are made for the weak.

When you are weak, it is best to honestly abide by the rules set by the strong, and then break them when you are strong enough!
At this time, Chen Jie nodded seriously and said, "I know. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone."

The man nodded with satisfaction. Chen Jie looked at him and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet, senior."

The old man laughed and said, "I am just an old man in the martial arts world. I am not worth mentioning. Not worth mentioning."

Seeing that the old man was unwilling to reveal his name, Chen Jie did not force him and bowed to take his leave.

When Chen Jie appeared outside the Sutra Library, the dazzling sunlight shone on his face, giving his face a layer of golden light, making it look sparkling.

Just then Chen Jie saw two people, Xiaohu and Hu Weiyong. The two men were standing outside the Sutra Library and were stopped by two soldiers and could not get closer.

Hu Weiyong was quite graceful, standing there in a refined and elegant manner, with the demeanor of a scholar.

Xiaohu was squatting there at this time, looking like a farmer, which was very indecent, but Xiaohu didn't care about it. The two of them were waiting here. At this time, Chen Jie came out, looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you two here? By the way, where did you stay yesterday?"

After hearing this, Xiao Hu said, "Oh, we were arranged to stay in the guard room yesterday. I just found out today that you, Brother Jiu Si, are here."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, have you eaten?"

The two shook their heads, and Chen Jie said, "Let's go eat."

With that, Chen Jie led the two of them outside and went straight to the restaurant. When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Jie and the other two ordered three bowls of wontons and began to eat with relish.

While eating the tiger cub, he asked, "Brother Jiu Si, when are we going back to Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Chen Jie said: "Wait a little longer. If King Ruyang has nothing else to say, we can leave. But I think King Ruyang will have something to say soon."

As Chen was explaining, Xiaohu looked puzzled, and Hu Weiyong seemed to be thinking about something. However, there was too little information known now, and he had no way of knowing much about this.

Therefore, he was also confused and looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Eat first."

As Chen Jie started to eat wontons, Xiao Hu looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Old Hu, look, Longxing Prefecture is really developed. Such a small inn is actually full of people."

Hu Weiyong glanced around and frowned, "How strange! Why are there so many people from the underworld here?"

After hearing this, Xiao Hu immediately turned around and looked around. He immediately saw that the whole room was really full of evil spirits. "Brother Jiu Si."

Xiaohu looked at Chen Jiusi who was still leisurely eating wontons.

Chen Jie said: "Keep your voice down."

At this time, Chen Jie glanced at them and said, "The people at the table on our left have thick hands and calluses on them. They are obviously palm masters."

"To your right, that table may seem frail, but look at their legs, especially their boots."

Xiaohu took a look and saw that their boots had metal edges and looked oppressive.

"Golden Tiger Boots, the boots are hidden with sharp edges, and the lower body is solid and powerful. Although he looks like he is sitting, he can actually kick at any time to meet the enemy. It is obvious that he is a person with superb kicking skills."

Hu Weiyong said: "That is the Iron Leg Gate in Cangzhou, Hebei."

Chen Jie looked at Hu Weiyong, who said, "I have traveled all over the world and have dealt with him before."

"Oh, Mr. Hu is really well-informed. Besides him, there's also that guy over there!"

Chen Jie motioned Hu Weiyong and Xiaohu to look behind, and they saw two twin brothers, one swinging a big axe and the other swinging a big hammer.

He looked ferocious. He was sitting there, having ordered a lamb in the morning and was eating it with big mouthfuls.

Chen Jie said: "He looks strange, but he has a strong Qi in his body. He must be a martial artist."

Hu Weiyong said: "These two are the famous King Kong brothers in Fuzhou. They are extremely powerful and well-known in the Fuzhou area."

Chen Jie said: "Fuzhou."

The only famous person in Fuzhou that Chen Jie could think of was Chen Youding, who almost had the same name as himself.

As Chen Jie was thinking this, he looked not far away and saw three people walking in.

These three men are all big and burly men.

A man with a leopard head and round eyes, with bright eyes, looks like Zhang Fei.

The other one had a well-proportioned figure and a fair complexion. Although he was a warrior, he had the demeanor of a Confucian general.

The leader had a very ordinary look, rough yet delicate. Standing there at this moment, he had an extraordinary aura.

At this time, he looked around the room and found that there were no seats, and his brows frowned slightly.

The leopard-headed man with round eyes looked at the big man and said, "Brother, this inn is full. Let's go to another one."

As soon as these words came out, the big man said, "Okay."

But at this moment, Chen Jie winked at Xiao Hu and Hu Weiyong, then stood up and said, "If you three don't mind, let's share a table!"

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and then two of them looked at the sturdy man in the middle. The sturdy man thought for a moment, looked at Chen Jie and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much."

After saying that, the three of them came to Chen Jie's table and sat down.

"Waiter, three bowls of noodles, quick."

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately went downstairs. While downstairs, Chen Jie looked at the three people in front of him and asked, "Where are you three gentlemen from?"

After hearing this, the leader clasped his fists and said, "I am from Haozhou."

Haozhou, Chen Jie was stunned, and then looked at the big man in front of him. He couldn't tell anything from their faces, but the temperament of these three people was extraordinary and full of heroic spirit.

Chen Jie thought about it, looked at the man and said, "Oh, so it's Haozhou. By the way, I know there's a hero named Guo Zixing in Haozhou. He's very righteous. I wonder if you guys know him?"

The man's expression remained unchanged, but he said, "Guo Zixing, there is such a person, but he is a demon from the Zoroastrianism, and cannot be considered a hero."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at him and said, "He is not a hero. By the way, I heard that he has a son-in-law named Zhu Chongba, who is a hero. I wonder if you have heard of him."

After these words came out, the two people beside the strong man secretly glanced at their eldest brother, but still said nothing.

Chen Jie had a sharp eye and could immediately see the unnaturalness of the two people.

At this time, the sturdy man laughed and said, "If my father Guo Zixing is not considered a hero, how can Zhu Yuanzhang be considered a hero? Not really, not really, hahahaha..."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the strong man and said, "Oh, it seems that these two are really not very famous."

Chen Jie continued, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Okay, okay, Niu Ba."

The strong man gave himself a name directly. Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "What about these two brothers?"

The strong man said, "Oh, these two are our brothers. This is Niu Jiu, and this is Niu Shi."

After hearing this, the two strong men nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we are Niu Jiu and Niu Shi."

After hearing this, Chen Jie smiled secretly in his heart. He was basically sure of the identity of the person in front of him.

Niu Ba.

Chen Jie laughed. What is Niu Ba? Combining an ox with the character "八" (eight characters), isn't it Zhu?

I didn't expect that it was really the person I thought of.

Zhu Yuanzhang, right? I didn’t expect that I would meet him in such a small place. The world is really narrow.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba also clasped his fists and said, "I have yet to ask for your name, brother."

Chen Jie said: "Oh, no problem, no problem, I'm Nan Batian!"

puff……

After hearing this, Xiaohu almost choked and coughed desperately. Chen Jie looked at Xiaohu and said, "By the way, this is my brother, Nan Liu, and this is Nan Qi."

Chen Jie pointed at Xiaohu and Hu Weiyong and said.

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba immediately smiled heartily: "Haha, those three brothers, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking in his heart, Nan Batian, Nan Liu, and Nan Qi, they all sound like fake names.

Chen Jie also laughed heartily and said, "Haha, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

The two men greeted each other and then started chatting. During the conversation, Chen Jie asked, "Brother Niu Ba, what are you doing here in Longxing Prefecture?"

After hearing this, Niu Ba was stunned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Nan, don't you know about this important event in Longxing Prefecture?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, I haven't heard of it."

At this time, Zhu Chongba said: "Then the news is cut off from us, and we are here for the posthumous letter of Wu Mu from the former general Yue."

"Hmm, Wu Mu's suicide note?"

Chen Jie asked in a puzzled manner. After hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Yes, Wu Mu's Testament is the military book left by Marshal Yue before his death. We and these people in Jianghu should have come to Longxing Mansion for this thing."

Chen Jie asked: "Do you know where the Wu Mu's posthumous letter is?"

Zhu Chongba said: "Of course, it is in the hands of Prince Ruyang, how could we not know it."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Prince Ruyang? This precious book has fallen into the hands of the court, so it must be kept secret. How could it be known to everyone?"

Zhu Chongba said: "I don't know, but now the whole world has heard of it."

"What's spreading?"

Chen Jie has been following Prince Ruyang recently, so he has been out of touch with the news.

Zhu Chongba asked, "Brother, don't you know?"

Chen Jie said: "I don't know!"

Zhu Chongba said: "The Supreme Master of the Martial World, with the precious book Wu Mu, commands the world, and no one dares to disobey!"

"Now everyone in the martial arts world is saying that whoever gets this precious book will rule the world!"

Zhu Chongba pointed at the people present and said, "Look, they all came here for this precious book."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "General Yue didn't conquer the world back then, but now everyone can conquer the world by just snatching a book?"

“Why don’t I believe this?”

After hearing this, Niu Shi, who was standing next to Zhu Chongba, said, "That's because Marshal Yue was loyal. If another treacherous minister had Marshal Yue's ability, the Zhao Song dynasty would have changed long ago. How could the country be scattered today and the Han people be enslaved by the Mulan people?"

"The third child."

Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and looked at Chen Jie and said, "It seems like this is the first time that the three brothers have heard of this. I wonder where the three brothers have been employed and why they are here?"

Chen Jie was about to answer when he heard footsteps suddenly, and then he saw Asan finding this place.

Seeing Chen Jie, he said, "Brother Jiusi, I've been looking for you for a long time. You are here. Come with me quickly. My young master is looking for you!"

Seeing that there were many people around, Asan did not say the word "princess" but used "young master" instead.

After hearing this, Chen Jie stood up and bowed to Zhu Chongba, saying, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"

Zhu Chongba said: "Then we'll meet again later."

As he spoke, Chen Jie led Xiao Hu and Hu Weiyong out of the store. At this time, Chen Jie looked at Ah San and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Ah San said, "The prince was looking for you, but the princess couldn't find you, so she asked me to come and find you quickly. It seems to be about something related to Wu Mu's posthumous letter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said inwardly: Here it comes!

It turns out that he is going to carry out The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, right?

Chen Jie was thinking, and then Ah San said, "Okay, Jiu Si, don't ask any more questions. Come with me quickly and don't keep the prince waiting for too long."

Chen Jie said: "Okay, I'll go with you now."

With these words, the group walked away.

At this time, in the room, the white-faced scholar general who was sitting in Chen Jie's position just now looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Zhu Chongba looked at Chen Jie who was walking away and said, "Look at this Nan Batian."

The guy with a leopard head and round eyes asked: "What's so good about him?"

Zhu Chongba said: "I don't know why, but when I see this person, I always feel a sense of mutual respect. I believe we will meet again soon."

After hearing this, the guy with the leopard head and round eyes shook his head and said, "Let's meet, but let's fill our stomachs first. Shopkeeper, give us three more bowls of noodles!"

"Hey, here we come!"

　I have a cold and a headache. That's all for now. I'll continue to update tomorrow.
