Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 139: The general of the Jiangyin garrison, a master of the Dragon and Tiger realm, wants to take me as his disciple! ?
Jiangyin Prefecture, fishing business.

The main house is located on the North Street of this maritime city.

This is also the most prosperous and luxurious area in the entire city. It is quite difficult for many wealthy businessmen to seek a piece of land and build a family and business.

As one of the 'Upper Nine Lines', the owner of the fishing line 'Chen Jing' is a genuine martial artist of the highest level.

Without this military force as the foundation of his existence, he would not be able to subdue the eight ferry crossings below him, and cooperate with the post and transmission lines, which are also one of the thirty-six lines, to almost monopolize the shipping and fishing of this East Canghai Sea, and expand his family business to such a large scale.
He is even listed as one of the 'Nine Masters' of the Jiangyin Chamber of Commerce, a person who makes decisions on the business road who rotates once a year and has great power.

Fishing companies are secretly involved in almost everything related to maritime affairs, whether it is the sale of salt or iron, these highly profitable businesses.

The main residence of the Chen family, also known as the Daxing, was built with stacked pavilions and magnificent carved beams. There were side houses and branches under it, with nearly a hundred people in total, including illegitimate children and side branches, all of whom had taken root here.

What are the pampered young men and the wealthy and luxurious families?

For example, the young masters of the three major businesses in Anning County have very few blood relatives in their entire family. Such people cannot be called a "clan" at all.

Only families like the Chen family, a fishing family that has firmly established itself in the city, built a clan temple, distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children, had family rules and elders, and lasted for more than three generations, are qualified to touch the floor.

As the saying goes, there are seven rank officials in front of the prime minister.

In this era of great contention where "boxing power" is respected, anyone born into a noble family, even if they are born out of wedlock or a concubine, once they leave the family gate and carry a well-known surname, as long as they hang around in Jiangyin Prefecture, basically they will show some respect to them.

But things are different now. The recent spate of incidents has cast a shadow over the entire fishing industry.

Inside the Chen family.

As the head of the family, Chen Jing's eyes were sharp as he looked at the jade scroll of information sent by Gu Qi, a master of Qi training who was a worshiper and ranked as the "Dragon Head of the Ferry Crossing". He rubbed it with his fingertips and suddenly exerted force.

Then there was a sound of "click", and the jade scroll broke:

"Duan Wufu's apprentice, a poor boy from Anning County?"

Behind the screen below their seats, the faces of the Chen family members were heavy and grim.

Among them, the descendants of the third branch of the family, Chen Chuhe, were filled with righteous indignation, their faces flushed:

"Master, this is simply too much."

Chen Jing waved his hand and glanced at them silently, causing the disciples who had just spoken to swallow back what they were about to say.

"That wild dragon is also difficult to tame. The industry has fed it so many goodies, but now it seems to be no different from feeding it to a dog. It can't be tamed."

"Since we can't tame him, we should have teamed up with a few masters to hunt him down, remove his tendons, and pull out his bones."

"It just so happens that the 'Prefectural Examination' is coming up soon. I will help my son the Qilin of the Chen family to improve himself so that he can win a 'Prefectural Official' title and enter Cangdu or Xuanjing, and win a chance for my Chen family to become a 'noble family'."

"As for the kid called 'Ji Xiu', at the age of seventeen, he has already developed golden muscles and jade veins, mercury blood and silver marrow, and the purest energy. Tsk tsk."

"It's hard to imagine how such a talented person could be nurtured in a remote place like Anning County."

"You just call me the Chen family of the fishing business, and treat a happy event as a funeral?"

"Ah."

"Young man, you have a really bad temper, just like his master. But his master was protected by Wang Xuanyang back then, so he dared to turn against me."

"But he."

"Why again?"

"Rely on Luo Daocheng?"

Chen Jing sat down slowly:
"Luo Daocheng, the general of the Jiangyin garrison, is a master of the Dragon and Tiger Realm. He holds a high position and has three thousand armored and armed soldiers under his command. They are responsible for guarding the Jiangyin corner of the Eastern Canghai."

"It can be said that he is only one step away from being granted a title and a fief. It is very glorious."

"But as long as he is related to 'Duan Chenzhou', or more precisely, to 'Tian Dao Liu'"

"Even Luo can't protect me!"

"If you can really protect it."

"When Wang Xuanyang passed away and the Tian Dao School was troubled by other schools, he should have supported them instead of just standing by and watching."

"This kid, does he think he can rely on his master's relationship to get close to the 'Garrison House'? He is still young after all."

"If he doesn't rely on his master, but on his own ability, and separates himself from Duan Chenzhou, and doesn't do this whole mourning thing, maybe he can really gain a foothold, but now..."

"Chen Chuan."

He threw the personal order of the head of the lineage with the word "Chen" engraved on his waist onto the table:

"Take my warrant and ask Mr. Wang from the pharmacy to lead the way with me to the Jiangyin Prefecture Yamen to ask for an order."

He knocked on the table:

"I heard that this kid named Ji had contact with the shadow of a 'god' before the New Year?"

Chen Jing smiled faintly:
"Among the heterodox sects, the Great Mystery strictly prohibits the preaching of 'sacred and demonic' sects. Many past examples and vivid tragedies were caused by divine disasters."

"He said that he eliminated the divine disaster and saved the whole county from disaster. But who saw it?"

"Was it a direct descendant of Shang Jiuxing, or some government official who recorded it for him?"

"Who would believe the empty words of a peasant from a rural county? There are tens of millions of people in the capital city. If there is a big disturbance, it will be reported to the emperor."

"As one of the 'Nine Masters' of the Jiangyin Chamber of Commerce, I naturally have to consider the livelihood of the mansion. I have no right to interfere with the prejudices and grudges among the martial artists."

"But this is related to the people's livelihood. We are all people who abide by the rules. It is not right not to lock up a kid with hidden dangers like this in the government office for a few months for investigation."

Chen Jing made the final decision with a casual tone. At his side, Chen Chuan, who was wearing a dark brocade robe and had half of his hair dyed white, immediately understood what he meant after hearing it:
"What the master said is true. The peace and tranquility of Jiangyin Prefecture depends on the Prefecture Master, the Prefecture officials, and the masters!"

"Without your joint efforts, there would not be the peace and prosperity we have enjoyed for decades."

"A foreigner with unclear background who has been involved in the disaster of the gods cannot be treated lightly."

"I will go and ask Mr. Huang to sign a joint letter to the 'Shangjiu Xing' and ask the Palace Master to issue an order!"

Pharmacy, Huang family.

The whole yard was covered in white.

When Chen Chuan from the fishing company arrived, he walked through the red-painted and gilded gate and looked at the quaint courtyard filled with the aroma of medicine. There were bleached silk lanterns hanging everywhere, hanging on both sides of the door lintels, and he couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time, before being invited into the main hall, I couldn't help thinking:
"Mr. Huang Ai from this medicine store traveled a lot in his early years and made great efforts to enter Cangdu. He was only able to get to where he is today after receiving some advice from a senior master who has achieved national status in the art of alchemy."

"The foundations of other big companies were built by three generations, but this guy has monopolized the entire Jiangyin Prefecture's big pill and secret medicine business with his own strength. 70% of the alchemists are from the medicine company!"

"Unfortunately."

"Such a huge family business but there is no one to inherit it."

Thinking of old man Huang Ai who owns the pharmacy, he has only two sons in three generations.

His eldest son died young, leaving him with only a grandson, Huang Xiuwen, whom he watched grow up.

The younger son was jealous because he saw Ye Luan, an official from the Embroidered Clothes Shop, who kept pestering Duan Wufu all day long. He tried every means to find fault with Duan Wufu, but was killed and his body was delivered to his door.

But Wang Xuanyang was so powerful back then, at the peak of his career, that this old man Huang swallowed his anger and lowered his head, went to the gate of Tiandaoliu in a humble manner, apologized, and only then was the matter settled.

I thought this generation was over. At least there was only one child left, a precious child who could be the future heir.

As a result, not only did he lose his two sons, but his eldest grandson, in order to please the 'Princess of Beicang', followed his own pharmacist to Anning County, where he was also implicated. He ended up with a miserable fate of being neither seen alive nor dead, and the old man had to see the young man several times.

How could this Mr. Huang not go crazy?
Chen Chuan was speculating in his mind as he walked across the courtyard and entered the inner room.

As a carved door opened, an old man with a tall and elegant frame, wide sleeves hanging down, a tall hat and a wide belt walked out with the help of a dragon-headed crutch.

"Are you the one next to Master Chen of the fishing company?"

Huang Ai rolled his eyelids and smiled:
"He never comes to visit you for no reason. The last time he did this was because of Duan Chenzhou, and this time is...?"

"Old Huang!"

Chen Chuan was slightly stunned when he saw the old man in front of him in such a good spirit. He seemed a little surprised, but then he immediately solemnized his expression and bowed his head and clasped his fists:

"It's Duan Wufu's disciple who has entered the mansion."

"And as soon as he came, he shot down the facade of my fishing company." "This boy was once involved in a divine disaster, and his background is unclear."

"According to my master's intention, for the sake of the city, we want to ask Mr. Huang to take the lead and find a few people in charge of the upper nine lines to ask the governor to lock him up in the government office and investigate him carefully. If this boy is really colluding with the outsiders, it's just a precaution!"

Huang Ai, who had a gentle expression on his face, smiled. Upon hearing this, he immediately clenched the white marble ring on his dry finger.

After a while, it gradually loosened:

"Master Chen has a good idea. This is related to Jiangyin Prefecture, so we should be cautious."

"The Lord is busy with many things every day and has no time to investigate such a small matter. We will jointly request an imperial decree to do it for him."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. His goal had been achieved. As long as two of the 'Nine Lords' showed up, it would be a sure thing.

So he said goodbye immediately.

Not until he left the Huang residence of the pharmacy did Huang Ai return to the dim carved door.

Among them, the clouds are thick and it feels like entering a fairyland, with clouds and mist floating everywhere.

"Here, sir."

"Ah."

Huang Ai spoke indifferently, took an exquisitely crafted pipe from a servant on the side, and lay on the couch, puffing away smoke with a dazed look in his eyes.

At this moment, as the 'Pure Land Forget Worry Paste' in the pipe slowly burned, Huang Ai was immersed in it, as if he saw his son and grandson still alive.
But it only burned for half a moment before the ointment in the pipe was completely used up, bringing Huang Ai back to reality. He saw his family enjoying themselves, but the happiness disappeared in an instant, and he was startled.

The next moment he came to his senses, he was immediately furious, and with just one slap, he smashed the table in front of him:
"Where's the ointment! Where's the ointment!"

The servant waiting outside the door shuddered when he heard the roar and knelt on the threshold:
"Master."

"The 'Pure Land Forget Worry Cream' sent by Xiao Wuxiang Temple has been used up by you."

"No, no more!"

Huchi, wheeze.

In the dim light, Huang Ai's beard and hair were standing up, his face was as white as paper, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked at the servant and said through his teeth:

"If you don't have any, go find the 'Xiao Wuxiang Temple' to get some!"

"If the ointment is gone, I won't be able to see my two sons and my great grandson anymore."

“If I can’t see them.”

"When the time comes, I'll ask you all to go down and see me!"

boom!
The breath of the Pure One burst out from the old man, making it difficult for the waiter to breathe. His teeth chattered and he kowtowed repeatedly:

"Yes, but the master of the 'Little Wuxiang Temple', Master Huang Mi, said that the Pure Land Forget Worry Cream was sent by the 'Mahayana Wuxiang Temple'. The production process is extremely complicated. If there is no cooperation from a financially strong group, I'm afraid..."

Huang Ai's eyes were bloodshot, like an old lion:
"I have been active in Jiangyin for decades, and have been taught by national masters. My foundation is like a web, weaving the entire Jiangyin. Even in front of the Lord of the Palace, I can have a say."

"My medicine business is not capitalized enough?"

"Didn't Huang Mi want to 'save all sentient beings' and use this Buddha paste to create the so-called 'Pure Land of Bliss', thereby expanding the spread of his Buddhist lineage?"

"I have tried this thing, I don't know if it works or not, make it!"

"Tell Huang Mi exactly what I said, and ask him to send me some more goods, quickly, quickly!"

Huang Ai panted, stood up and walked back and forth, restlessly, and patted the railings.

The waiter was silent as a mouse, hunched over, and nodded repeatedly, then quickly left.

Only after leaving Huang's house did the servant, who had been submissive until then, straighten his back and look back.

At this moment, his eyes were calm, his facial expression had already changed, and even his thoughts were almost turned into substance and could affect reality.

He looked towards the mansion, and after a while he put his palms together and said silently:
"The fish has taken the bait."

"It has been nearly a thousand years since Daxuan was founded, and my 'Pure Land' has finally taken this step."

"The Pure Land Bliss Cream is a grand plan jointly developed by the 'Three Hundred Temples' that infiltrated our Mahayana Wuxiang Temple."

"Ever since that woman king passed away, everyone in the royal family has wanted to compete for the throne, so that the prestige of the descendants of the Xuan King has dropped to freezing point."

"The days of boycotting immortals and Buddhas are over, and now..."

"It is our turn to save this world."

The river is surging, Jiangyin Prefecture, the military camp!
Three hundred warships were linked together with iron chains, from the east, south, west, north, and all directions, and were tightly locked by this huge blockade that was like a steel torrent.

On the deck, the warriors in armor and holding weapons were like a torrent of steel. Their energy and blood gathered together, like wolf smoke all day long, covering the sky above the military fortress.

Ji Xiu stood beside Zhang Qing, watching this scene, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I've heard for a long time that among the 3,000 soldiers in Jiangyin Prefecture, every one of them must have reached the Great Perfection of Bone Tempering, and that the conditions for entering are very harsh. After seeing this today, I know that what they said is true."

"With so many warriors twisted together, I'm afraid they will kill gods and Buddhas if they get in the way. Even if they are Qigong practitioners, they will be crushed into dust in an instant!"

The masters of Qigong have only created the "Qi Sea" and are still mortals. In front of such a truly iron army, they are just as fragile as paper.

No wonder the reputation of the garrison general Luo Daocheng could overwhelm the entire Jiangyin Prefecture. Even with the presence of the "Dragon and Tiger Realm" masters, they all became good neighbors, and all was peaceful and calm.

Standing beside Ji Xiu, close to the huge fortress, Zhang Qing grinned when he heard this:
"Brother, that's someone else."

"But if you want to enter the 'Garden House', it's just a matter of words!"

Looking at this little brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, now that he had entered the mansion and was wearing armor, his expression was completely different from when he used to run errands in the pharmacy under his command.

As Ji Xiu listened, he became interested:
"Oh?"

"That general thinks highly of me?"

boom!
The two were talking
The giant ship crashed into the military fortress!
In an instant, Ji Xiu's originally relaxed muscles and bones seemed to be stared at by a pair of "wolf-like and tiger-like" eyes, and he felt as if a thorn in his back.

He couldn't help but frown immediately, and his eyes suddenly turned to look straight in the direction where the gaze was.

Just one glance!
I saw a figure as tall as a mountain on the high platform of the military stronghold, with a fluttering cloak and a red tassel in his hand. His eyes were full of aggression, but he just glanced at him casually.
Ji Xiu's entire body was shaken!
“This person is.”

"General of the Jiangyin garrison, Luo Daocheng?"

Looking at those eyes, Ji Xiu's heart was stirred. After pondering for a moment, he stepped out of the warship and bowed from afar.

immediately,

Then he saw the burly general looking at him for a long time, and when he stepped onto the giant pass, he looked at his jade-like bones and tendons, and the purest energy leaked out.
After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, and at the end his tone was bold and unrestrained, shocking the sea and the sky:

"What a nice set of muscles, bones and skin!"

"Duan Chenzhou is a good teacher."

"Boy."

Luo Daocheng waved his hand.

"Last time, I heard about your deeds and you sounded very arrogant. Today, seeing you, it's true. You have the capital to be arrogant."

"I originally asked Zhang Qing to summon you here because I wanted to give you the identity of a 'mansion soldier' so that you would have a place to stand firm after entering the mansion."

"But now, I've changed my mind."

"Let me ask you this."

He stood on a high platform, and his voice almost shook the sky, so that the three thousand soldiers in training could hear it clearly.

Followed by
Just one sentence.

It was like an explosion, which directly caused this military aircraft carrier to explode!

"Would you consider becoming this general's disciple?!"
