Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 10 The Correct Way to Return the Water Pavilion

In the next few days, Cheng Qian stayed in Huanshi Water Pavilion. Even his personal maids Azhu and Abi were only responsible for changing his daily clothes and delivering three meals a day.

During this period, Wang's cousin came to ask about it, but because Cheng Qian told her that she was only reading the secret book in the water pavilion and no one was allowed to enter and disturb her, Ah Zhu declined.

And what has Cheng Qian been doing in the Huanshishui Pavilion these days?

Cheng Qian was inside the water pavilion, with a pile of books in front of him. He randomly picked one of the books and, with the help of the Chaos Pearl in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, finished reading the whole book in less than a cup of tea (refer to the speed of Qianye Legend).

"The Maha Finger is worthy of the name 'Maha'. It is extremely fierce and domineering. The Three Entrances to Hell is extremely cruel and exceptional. It is very different from other unique skills of Shaolin Temple, but it can enhance my Sanhe Finger."

Then he pulled out a secret book "The Formless Tribulation Finger, the Pure Yang Scorching Finger Technique, is also good."

"Shaolin's Vajra Indestructible Magical Skills and Golden Bell Cover can make up for my shortcomings."

In less than two hours, he had finished reading the pile of martial arts secrets that were sought after by many people in the martial arts world.

He secretly admired that the seventy-two unique skills were indeed the unique skills of Shaolin, and each one was extraordinary. Although there were only thirty-six items in Shishui Pavilion, except for Yijinjing and Xisuijing, it could be said that they encompassed the essence of Shaolin martial arts.

Among them, what surprised Cheng Qian the most was the Prajna Palm. This martial art only needs to be practiced with concentration, and its power will continue to increase over time, especially the last move "One Empty to the End", which can counterattack the opponent's palm power against itself, worthy of the name of Prajna. It is no wonder that Shaolin Temple can stand firm in the martial arts world, but it is a pity that these unique skills are all obtained by the creators through the understanding of Buddhist scriptures. If ordinary people do not know how to do it, they will definitely go astray.

But this will not be an obstacle for me. I just need to extract the essence of martial arts and integrate it into my own system like the Maha Finger.

Cheng Qian had just put his thoughts to rest when he heard the servants report outside the door that Gong Yeqian had returned home and was waiting in the study. He then tidied up his clothes and went to meet him.

When he arrived at the study, he saw a man in his early thirties wearing a dark blue scholar's robe. He was the owner of Chixia Manor, who would be known as the "second best palmistry master in Jiangnan" in the future, Gong Ye Qian. When he saw Cheng Qian enter, he immediately reported back on the past few days:

"My Lord, all the refugees on the island have been properly arranged. I was reclaiming wasteland before I left, and I estimate that I am still planting seeds. I will be able to harvest the first batch of food in three months." "Is the source of refugees unobstructed? Do the refugees have any reaction to acclimatization after arriving in Yizhou?"
'Reporting to the young master, the source of refugees can be maintained in Hebei and Liao. Although the number of refugees in Jiangnan has increased greatly due to the "Green Seed Law and Farmland Irrigation Law" promulgated by the court before, it should be because the handicraft industry in Jiangnan is developed, and the effect has not met expectations. Instead, it is because the court has abolished the Xiang army, causing many soldiers to change their status to civilians, thus losing their livelihoods and having to join our Murong family's farm. As for those refugees who have landed on the island, according to the method taught by the young master before, some of them are severely seasick, and the rest can now go to work in the fields.

'Well, how about recruiting artisans and coastal fishermen?'
"The young master's previous instructions to recruit coastal shipbuilders and inland craftsmen have begun to show results. Next month, a group of people will be sent to Yizhou (now Taiwan Island). All the materials on the island are ready, and as soon as everyone arrives, we can start work immediately."

"Okay, we will proceed with this strategy for the next two years. If the situation in the court changes, we will adapt accordingly. However, I have a few important things for you to do now."

"Please give me your instructions, Master."

Cheng Qian explained solemnly: "From today on, I want to set up a private army, called "Dark Guard", which I will personally manage and specialize in spying and assassination. I will set up more charity halls in the name of my Murong family, and accept more orphans and beggars aged 0-10. If there are talented ones among them, send them here. I will set up a military academy and a literary academy here, and I will train them personally. Those who are good at martial arts can become the dark guard or the leader of the private army in the village after passing the test. Those who are good at literature can enter our Yizhou after passing the test and participate in management affairs.

At the same time, instruct Deng Baichuan to intensify the infiltration of rural areas in the Jiangnan region."

"Yes"

"Also, make friends with martial artists and tell your servants to receive anyone who comes to visit you. Also, spread the news in the martial arts world from today onwards, saying that something went wrong in my martial arts training and I became possessed, which resulted in my martial arts being completely wasted and I am seriously ill. It is not appropriate for me to fight with others anymore. I want to invite famous doctors and martial arts experts to come here. And if they can cure my injuries, they can enter the Huanshi Water Pavilion at will and read all the books in it. In addition, I will use the martial arts secrets to win over powerful masters from Jiangnan and other places."

Gong Yeqian hesitated after hearing this, "Master, is this inappropriate? This action will surely attract people to spy on you. The secret book was obtained by our ancestors with great difficulty, how can we teach it lightly? Moreover, although Master has lost all his internal strength, he can still cultivate it again, so why do you have to do this? Besides, there are many hidden talents in the martial arts world. If someone really sees that Master is pretending to be sick, it will be detrimental to what we are planning."

Hearing Gong Yeqian's advice, Chengqian laughed and said, "Ha, I have my own plan for this matter, just do as you are told."

"Yes, I will follow your orders, sir."
