Geng Jingzhong took the initiative to propose that the Geng family send troops to clear the way along the road and travel the official road every day and stay in the inns at night. The money and food wasted will be borne by the local government. Although the speed may be slower, it will definitely be done properly and you can sit back and relax.
Geng Jingzhong's confidence in saying this lies in the current strong position of the Geng family. Don't forget that the white stones from Gaoyao County, Guangdong used by Geng Jimao to build Prince Geng's Mansion were continuously transported to Fuzhou along this road. Thousands of kilograms of them were transported to Fuzhou.
It's still possible to walk on a huge boulder, let alone a few big living people.
But this plan was quickly rejected by Jiang Wen.
Traveling in the name of the Geng family is tantamount to stirring up trouble. There is no way to guarantee the confidentiality of this trip. Moreover, once you enter southern Fujian and Chaoshan at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, who knows whether the Zheng and Shang families will appear.
People come to cause trouble.
The second travel plan was proposed by Lin Zhennan.
He could see Jiang Wen's fear of the intertwined government forces. Fuwei Escort Bureau happened to be located in Guangzhou, and during the troubled times, there was an endless stream of escorts between the two. The most troublesome green forest and guard posts along the road were also taken care of.
With two experienced escorts leading the team, the journey will be smooth sailing.
There is no doubt that in this world, if you want to travel to the officialdom, you have to look at these figures. But the problem is that Jiang Wen originally wanted to train his disciples, and the Fuwei Escort Agency has settled the matter.
Aren’t the four of them just left to travel around?
So the plan was rejected again.
In fact, everyone knows that the land route is painful and slow, and the best route is to take the water route. However, no one can say anything bad about the water route today.
In the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing government established the Governor-General of Fujian. The Governor-General's Office was located in Fuzhou and also took charge of Zhejiang. However, it didn't take long for Zhejiang to become turbulent. So in the fifth year of Shunzhi, the Qing government changed the name of the Governor-General of Fujian to the Governor-General of Zhejiang and Fujian. The Governor-General's Office was moved to
Quzhou, still in charge of Fujian, tried to suppress the rising voices of resistance.
When one province was in trouble, thunder shook in all directions. Zhu Jizuo, a scholar of the Nanming Dynasty, started an uprising in Xinghua. Therefore, Zhu Rongfan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, declared himself the superintendent of the country in Kuizhou. The Qi uprising in Dengzhou, Shandong lasted for more than ten years. At that time, the uprising was only in Zhejiang.
The characters are all heroes of the moment, there are six crazy people in Ningbo, and Dalan Village in Siming Mountain comes one after another.
Especially Chen Jinnan, the young chief rudder of the Tiandihui at that time, single-handedly made the rule of the Qing Dynasty precarious. After more than ten years of achievements, Zheng Chenggong, the prince of Yanping County, and Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, marched to Nanjing.
.
To this day, both provinces have their own governors.
After several massacres in the south of the Yangtze River, there was no longer any resistance. Therefore, the Governor-General's Office of Zhejiang was stationed in Wenzhou, and the Governor-General of Fujian was stationed in Zhangzhou. There was no doubt that southern Fujian would be used as a break-in point to gather the Geng family in Fuzhou and the Shang family in Guangzhou to respond to the siege.
After arriving at Zhangzhou Port, the base camp, he began to hear Zheng's comprehensive attack and couldn't even imagine. If he sailed the boat through that sea area at this time, he would be killed by the people on both sides.
After crossing the ground, they gathered fire together and blasted them to pieces.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. After Jiang Wen cut out the complicated and simplified it, he realized that what he wanted for this trip was firstly to find the way accurately, and secondly to hide his whereabouts - the last experience of getting lost and almost starving to death made both master and disciple feel sad.
Qi.
He turned his head and thought carefully, isn't it the elusive White Lotus Sect that can satisfy these two points at the same time?
Jiang Wen and his party stood under the west gate of Fuzhou, watching the carriages and horses and people coming and going along the road. They quickly stopped a group of carriages and greeted a short, fat middle-aged man dressed as a businessman.
"I'll help you all this time."
The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion nodded and said: "Director Jiang, you are too polite. You have not yet thanked me for your great kindness to our religion, so why bother sending me along for a while?"
When Jiang Wen heard his voice, he was suddenly stunned - he just said he wanted to take advantage of it, so why did the leader of the Ming Zun Sect also come?
He led his apprentice to open several other cars, and sure enough he found that they were all acquaintances.
As a direct descendant of the Holy Mother of Red Lotus, Goddess Liu Ding naturally follows her wherever she goes. She sits in a car at the back, two of them in one car, which can just fit Jiang Wen's three disciples into it.
As for Jiang Wen himself, it was his duty to stay with Our Lady of the Red Lotus. At this time, the space in the carriage was narrow and the air was dull. The two of them sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
With the help of human skin masks, cross-dressing, and falsetto techniques spread among these magicians, the Ming Zun Sect's men and horses have already passed the city gate guards. A team consisting of more than a dozen oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages is loaded with lacquerware, plates, and books.
An Ran left the city.
"Our Lady of the Red Lotus, why are you suddenly leaving the city?"
Jiang Wen decisively chose a topic to break the deadlock.
The Red Lotus Virgin, disguised as a middle-aged man, tilted her head: "Why did Master Jiang say this? The chief helmsman of the Hongyang Sect is not in Fuzhou, but in Quan County. The Hongyang catastrophe has now been safely passed. Let's return
Is there anything wrong with Quanzhou Prefecture?"
Jiang Wen was also confused for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "It's not a matter of right or wrong, it's that... that's that..."
Jiang Wen wanted to say, of course there is no problem for you to go back, but in the shabby house next door to yours, such a big Ding Dian was just thrown there? The other party clearly planted chrysanthemums on the roof, Miss Ling, why didn't you say anything at all?
The Holy Mother of the Red Sun glanced at Jiang Wen expressionlessly and said meaningfully.
"It seems that Director Jiang knows a lot of things. I thought you, the noble man, are so forgetful that you have already forgotten everything that happened between us."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen's scalp went numb instantly, and he felt as if his Tianling Cap was about to be split open.
These ambiguous words came from the mouth of a short, fat man with a sallow complexion. They were already more frightening. But when he heard the meaning again, it felt like he was resentfully blaming him - to be heard by outsiders, he was designated as the two people in the carriage.
Do you have any tangled personal stories?
Jiang Wen didn't need to look carefully to find that the driver driving the carriage in front was already swaying on the spot, patting the horse's head and humming a vulgar ditty, indicating that he was busy exchanging feelings with the horse and didn't hear anything unnecessary.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, the Twelve Success Power God Illumination Sutra that Jiang Wen was worried about did not appear after all, so he was able to remove his hand from the hilt of the ancient bronze sword and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Holy Mother, can you please explain clearly what is the matter between us?"
Jiang Wen slapped the car wall angrily, "I'm thinking about your life-long affairs, are you still trying to blackmail me?!"
But the next moment, the Red Lotus Virgin became obviously angry. She reached out and lifted off the human skin mask covering her face, revealing a face that was covered with scars from sharp objects, but still showed a delicate and beautiful face.
"Why are Director Jiang teasing you over and over again?"
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus spoke a little harder, "I know this request is a little unreasonable, but I, the Hongyang Sect, can show all my sincerity. Even if you don't take it seriously, you shouldn't take the opportunity to be frivolous with me!"
This time the words were even more explosive. Jiang Wen had already noticed that the coachman in front was shaking and had nowhere to hide. He seemed to be planning to untie the reins and let the old horse run away, while he went down to pull the coach to prevent being silenced.
People need to be calm when facing important events. Jiang Wen now calmed down instead of wondering whether Goddess Six Ding would hear it. He carefully thought about what the Red Lotus Mother said.
What exactly is the thing that I promised her...
"..."Nine Nether Scriptures"?"
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus snorted coldly.
"Why should the Taoist priest ask questions when he already knows?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Wen finally hit his head in enlightenment.
"Why didn't the Holy Mother tell you earlier? I almost went astray... Oh no, it was just my imagination."
The fact that the mastermind behind the scenes was Yun Feiyang and now Zhao Wuji was so shocking that Jiang Wen had been wondering for the past few days whether any moves had been missed and how many of his trump cards had been exposed. He happened to forget to help the Red Lotus Virgin find "
The matter of "Nine Nether Scriptures".
After being reminded in person like this, Jiang Wencai finally recalled it.
In this way, the resentful expression of the Red Lotus Virgin is easier to understand.
I originally promised that I would find the "Nine Nether Scriptures" and two ancient scriptures, but when I got the ancient scriptures back, the martial arts secrets were still missing.
The other party may have thought that Jiang Wen was happy to see the hunter, and took the opportunity to study the secrets of that peerless martial arts. They were also confident in his character that he would do what he said, so they waited in Fuzhou City for many days, but couldn't wait no matter what.
to the news.
Until today, they finally received a message from Jiang Wen. Our Lady of the Red Lotus came with the goddesses in high spirits, thinking that the other party had finally discovered her conscience, but found that the other party shamelessly continued to pretend to be stupid, without even a trace of what she had promised.
I don’t even remember the promise…
Jiang Wen took stock of his actions, assumed the other party's role, and instantly felt that he was a scumbag.
"Sorry, sorry, there are too many things going on these days, I really forgot about it."
Jiang Wen quickly apologized with a smile, opened his baggage, dug out a thin black-sealed booklet from a pile of strange things, and handed it to the Holy Mother of Red Lotus.
"This "Nine Nether Scriptures" has been in my hands for several days. I only read it once on the day I got it. Now I give it to you, Holy Mother."
Holding this thin book in her hand, Our Lady of the Red Lotus felt as if it weighed a thousand kilograms. Her body, which had not recovered from the serious injury, was even weaker, and she almost didn't have the strength to open it.
But she bit her red lips to cheer up, ran her fingertips across the seals of the old books, and began to read through the dim light in the carriage. Her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, and the more she read, the more she could not get rid of the doubt in her eyes.
color.
Jiang Wen caught a glimpse of her expression and knew that she felt the same now as he did back then.
"Holy Mother, this book was written by Huang Shang, the former Governor of the Skull. It uses the ancient characters of the death inscriptions that have been circulated in the underworld. Although there are also death inscriptions passed down among Taoist sects, the death inscriptions that living people can learn have sounds but no characters.
, you have to wait until you die before you can understand it without a teacher."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus looked at Jiang Wen with puzzled eyes, and Jiang Wen could only sigh slightly and continue.
"No matter how bizarre the writing in the underworld is, it is nothing more than hooks, hooks, and twists. After all, it is inseparable from the sounds, meanings, glyphs, and other parts. But the writing in the underworld inverts and distorts everything. I am afraid that these words we see are not what they look like.
Its true appearance, no matter how much energy is spent, it is just a matter of seeking fish from a tree..."
After hearing what Jiang Wen said, the doubts in the eyes of the Red Lotus Virgin disappeared, and the fire of hope ignited in her pupils gradually extinguished. After a long silence, the black-sealed ancient book was handed back to Jiang Wen.
She looked at the lush weeds on both sides of the road and the endless green mountains. Her life experiences that had been wandering for many years continued to float before her eyes. The sound of the wind around her ears also turned into indistinct whispers, and she was talking to herself as if she was talking.
.
Jiang Wen said quickly, "Holy Mother, don't be too discouraged. What I said is just a family opinion. It is said that there is always a way in the world, so you can try again."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus said to Jiang Wen with a bit of freedom and ease: "Master Jiang, there is no need to comfort me. After all, I am also a person who has been through hell. I am just worried that so many people in Hongyang Sect will receive the Holy Fire from generation to generation.
I have been devastated by power and have no choice but to do anything. I thought I had a solution now..."
Hearing this, Jiang Wen clapped his hands again, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
"Blame me, blame me, I accidentally got involved again. For things that the Nine Nether Scriptures cannot solve, I can boldly give it a try."
Jiang Wen in the carriage retracted his hands into his sleeves, and then stretched them out in front of Our Lady of Red Lotus.
"Come on, put your palms against my palms now and let me diagnose the situation."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus wanted to refuse, but when she saw Jiang Wen's determined eyes, she finally reached out her hand doubtfully and silently recited the mantra to slowly awaken the flames floating in her Dantian.
Jiang Wen mobilized the inner strength of the Yi Jin Meridian, which is the most honest and long-lasting and is good at healing injuries. He originally thought that the opponent's internal strength was at best evil and sinister, rather domineering and harsh. With his own martial arts skills, he would definitely be able to withstand it.
But as soon as they met, Jiang Wen felt as if he had touched a piece of hot coal in his palm. After a brief period of paralysis, there was a strong and continuous burning pain, as if the body of the Red Lotus Virgin was not an invisible internal force, but a burning sensation.
Wherever the hot molten steel touches, it will set off a prairie fire!
Jiang Wen was caught off guard at first by such a weird internal force. He successively changed four or five kinds of internal force with different attributes, sometimes yin and sometimes yang, sometimes strong and sometimes soft. However, the opponent's internal force became stronger when it was strong, and even worse when it was weak, regardless of the way forward.
How to be strong and soft at the same time, I will move forward in an indomitable way.
The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus knew the dominance of this internal skill, otherwise the Ming Zunjiao, who was suffering from its shortcomings, would not give up and bet on the lives of the martial arts leaders of all ages, just to find out how to solve the shortcomings of the burning sun.
method.
She was observing Jiang Wen's expression while doing the exercises, planning to withdraw the exercises immediately when the opponent was in pain to prevent Jiang Wen from being accidentally injured. But the two of them held a stick of incense in their palms across their sleeves, and Jiang Wen closed his eyes slightly.
But his face remained expressionless and he didn't show any sweat, as if he was groping and tasting something.
The moment of two sticks of incense passed, and Jiang Wen remained silent, his eyes tightly closed and silent.
Half an hour later, even the powerful Red Lotus Virgin couldn't bear it any longer. She felt that the operation of the Holy Fire Technique in her body was extremely depleting, and it was intermittently like a furnace that was about to go out. However, the internal energy in Jiang Wen's palm in front of her was still pouring out.
, without any loss, eliminating one's own inner strength like a millstone.
"I see!"
Jiang Wen suddenly removed his palms and sat upright. As he waved his hands, his sleeves turned into flying ashes, and a big hole was burned out where they touched.
"This holy fire skill is extremely strong and yang, and is similar to the Nine-Yang Magical Skill that I practice. However, the Nine-Yang Magical Skill is an unpredictable Taoist martial art. It is masculine that is born from the most yin and softness. In fact, it is both hard and soft.
It is economical and has endless wonderful uses."
He waved a burst of energy in the air, and Our Lady of the Red Lotus felt the scorching sun above her head, her breath was scorching, and the temperature in the narrow carriage instantly rose several degrees, but there was no burning pain when it hit her face.
"And this holy fire skill is like a flame that shoots out from the emptiness of the universe, from the coldest to the deadest. It is born to ignite everything. The human body is inherently a harmony of yin and yang. If a man practices yang and adds yang, his meridians will soon be burned and he will die.
, and only the virgins of Xuanyin can learn it."
Jiang Wen's eyes were full of such a look, and he spoke faster and faster, "However, the three yangs are coming together, and the three yin cannot be matched. As the power of the Holy Fire Technique advances, there will be a day when the yang heat is too strong, and the ** acts
After all, firewood is limited, so you are bound to get injured. In my opinion, you must use "Ice Qi" to stop the deer cart, "Nine Yang Magic" to stop the bullock cart from fatigue, and "Nine Yin Manual" to pull the cow back.
The Chariot's collapse is what "Yi Jin Sheng Gong" uses to harmonize the scattered energy and spirit!"
Jiang Wen borrowed these words from his medical skills, mainly to show his expertise. If he explains it in his own words, the burning sun is like a car engine that overheats and can catch fire at any time.
The solution is probably to use "Ice Qi" to slam on the brakes, "Nine Yang Magic" to add some gasoline to maintain power, "Nine Yin Manual" to adjust the driving direction, and finally rely on "Yi Jin Magic" to do it.
It only takes one return to the factory for overhaul and overall maintenance.
But this method is simple to say. For ordinary people to be able to master one internal skill is already an extraordinary talent. How can it be possible to master so many internal skills at the same time and use whatever is needed?
"Director Jiang, the method you mentioned is too bizarre. Forgive me for not understanding it..."
The Red Lotus Mother said with a little confusion, and even felt a little embarrassed, "Even if someone can do this, I can't let people waste their power like this just for my benefit."
Jiang Wen looked at her without saying anything. The Red Lotus Virgin suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the person opposite was actually looking at another person.
The reason why "Jiuyou Zhenjing" can restrain the shortcomings of the Holy Fire Technique may be due to the rules between the Haoli ghost kingdom and the Yang world. Their attributes are all opposite. The things that dominate everything are extremely Yin and extremely cold. One is declining and the other is growing. Yin and Yang are interdependent. It is indeed possible.
keep it steady.
But what Jiang Wen was more curious about was the person who invented this masculine and domineering internal skill.
He must be in a kind of extreme pain. This flame that burns blazingly until eternity is just a manifestation of his vitality bursting out in the helpless coldness. It is a memory that is engraved like a bone in the physical and mental torture day and night.
Only in this way will he burn desperately, forgetting the warmth, generosity and kindness he once had, regaining the hatred and wandering of his childhood, recalling the death of his beloved relatives again, and the hardships of the dangerous world, even if the whole world
The unparalleled master had to condescend to bow to others for his sake...
"Miss Ling, please forgive me for calling you this."
Jiang Wen's tone was slightly deeper, with a wry smile on his face, "You are a blessed person. Even if you are in a desperate situation, there will always be someone who cares about you. Purely out of rationality, Mr. Ding is staying in Fuzhou City now, and he is also the best candidate for Hongyang's protector.
——This may not be the arrangement given to you by Hongyang Saint Boy before he left."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus lowered her eyes slightly and gently touched the hideous scars on her face.
"I don't even know whether I am alive or dead. What can I do if he stays or leaves?"
Jiang Wen could tell that the fate of this pair of misfortunes was really bad. On the surface, Our Lady of the Red Lotus was complaining about the young master of the Ding family who had been pretending to be indifferent these years. In fact, she believed that her life was about to end, and she was unwilling to drag him down anymore.
The young master of the Ding family also knew that he had broken the other person's heart by pretending to be heartless, so he could only cautiously continue to stay in the corner, for fear of being driven away by the Red Lotus Virgin.
"There is always a way. I will deal with the hidden dangers of Holy Fire Kung Fu."
Jiang Wen couldn't refuse and said, "You can live for at least ten years using my method, which should be enough to find a solution."
The eyes of the Holy Mother of Red Lotus moved slightly, as if she did not expect that Jiang Wen would be so generous and insist on intervening in her own affairs.
"But I have a condition."
Jiang Wen stretched out a finger and said seriously.
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus also responded with a serious face.
"Even if Director Jiang opens his mouth, everyone in the Hongyang Sect will be thinking very hard and will not dare to violate it."
"It doesn't have to be so complicated. You move Prince Xiao Ming's coffin from Hutai Waterside Pavilion to Wuyi Mountain. It's that simple."
Jiang Wen looked at her, ignoring all doubts and confusion, and spoke to her quietly, but it was as if he was just talking to an illusory place, where there might be vaguely similar mountains, rivers and old friends.
