After many days, Jiang Wen came here again with his apprentice.
But only a few days later, the atmosphere in the town became even weirder. Many people with swords and sabers poured in, creating a feeling that a storm was coming.
There has been no news of Qing soldiers in Chong'an County, but some news has slowly spread in the world, confirming Jiang Wen's suspicions.
Rivers and lakes are a very broad concept. From high-ranking officials to merchants and pawns, they can all be called components of the rivers and lakes. However, since ancient times, knights have used weapons to break the ban. These independent factors that are active have always been unstable factors.
This is not discrimination, because people in the world are all risk enthusiasts. Maybe they are not the ones causing the disputes, but wherever there are disputes, they are bound to be there.
"Master, if you want to know, can't we just go and ask?"
Xiao Shitou was quite polite and just made suggestions. He didn't directly run up to ask them if they were here to poop.
But under the veil of Jianghu, there are many undercurrents hidden. It is definitely not as clear as finding a restaurant in a novel and rewarding the waiter with a few coins - the real inner world of Jianghu.
All require jargon and identity verification to be qualified to know.
"Nothing is so simple."
Jiang Wen waved his hands and said, "Look at their frowns and their Yintang show, they are probably engaged in beheading. How can those rebel organizations shout that I want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty every day..."
Before he finished speaking, several shouts came from across the street.
"Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
"Kill all the dogs!"
"Revenge!"
Jiang Wen thought he was hallucinating, but after careful analysis, he actually saw someone yelling on the side of the road. It sounded sincere and full of tears. It didn't look like he was trying to be evil.
Several of those Jianghu people drank wine, walked up to Jiang Wen, and shouted at him hoarsely, "Taoist Master! Cultivating slaves has no conscience, and they should be killed by nature and man!"
...Is there really such a thing as crazy?
"Little Shitou, let's go quickly. I think the official wants to scare the snake away!"
Jiang Wen covered Little Shitou's ears with a dark face, and led him through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip - Bailian Martial Arts Hall.
"Director Jiang! The master is waiting for guests inside. I will go and inform you."
The disciple standing guard at the door did his duty and followed all the etiquette, but when he saw the little stone, his expression became a little subtle, and he stopped preparing to enter the door.
To be more specific, it was the way a restaurant waiter saw someone wanting to bring a pet in, wanted to remind the person that this was not possible, but was too embarrassed to say anything.
Jiang Wen was quite considerate, "Don't worry, Little Shitou is in a good mood today and won't bite anyone."
Just kidding, is it possible that Wudang Shaolin has a sword-breaking stone and a horse-dismounting stone, and your martial arts school also has a storage room for biological and chemical weapons disciples?
The gatekeeper disciple came out less than a quarter of an hour after entering and welcomed the two people in.
In the middle of the hall of the martial arts hall hangs a plaque that reads "One Hundred Refines into Gold", and two rows of Taishi chairs are spread out across the hall. The instructors of several local martial arts schools and boxing sects meet here for tea.
In the center, a coach with slightly white temples and a broad mouth stood up and said with great energy: "You're just in time, Director Jiang! There is something I want you to testify about today!"
Jiang Wen smiled and said: "Master Luo, you're welcome. I haven't walked on the mountain for a long time. I still need your attention today. Sit down and talk first!"
The first step in traveling the world is connections.
There is trade in Xiamei Town. It is connected to the Ancient Tea Horse Road in the south and merchants in the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the north. It is indispensable for martial arts disciples to protect their families and courtyards and escort and deliver goods. Therefore, here, the martial arts academy is the closest place to the rivers and lakes.
Jiang Wen drank two cups of tea and finally found out what happened.
In just one week, the world is indeed turbulent. The most important thing is to start with Southern Shaolin - Fujian Southern Shaolin was burned down!
Ordinary people may not understand the meaning of this, but in the eyes of people in the world, this matter is no less serious than Nanjing, the provincial capital of AH, which was snatched away by Zhejiang this time!
Fujian Southern Shaolin consists of six temples in Minzhong including Xianyou Nine Temples, Putian Linquan Temple, Zhao'an Changlin Temple, Fuxinning Temple, Dongshan Gulai Temple, and Quanzhou Dongchan Temple. It recruits many disciples in the south and spreads martial arts.
Its influence cannot be underestimated. In recent years, it has been on par with the Songshan Shaolin Temple in the north.
However, as the Qing troops entered the customs, Southern Shaolin has been wavering and unwilling to obey. Many clues point to them, and they have been involved with the anti-Qing forces in the south.
Originally, it was normal for a sect like this to have a mixture of dragons and snakes, and engage in some political speculation. For example, the Tianlongmen and the Beggar Clan split apart and each side took sides.
An important force like Southern Shaolin has lay disciples all over the world, and it is already inextricably linked with the forces from Jiangnan and beyond. Once it is pushed back, the disaster will be serious, and even more serious consequences will occur.
Now that the South has not given up resistance, everyone in the world thinks that the Qing government will turn a blind eye and wait until the South is completely pacified before settling the matter.
Besides, Southern Shaolin is not like Songshan Shaolin Temple. They have six large temples and countless small temples. They have been hiding in the mountains of central Fujian for many years.
Something as difficult as reaching heaven.
The strange thing is that this time, the news came out that Nan Shaolin from Cunning Rabbit San Cave happened to be the host. The leaders all gathered in one place and were surrounded by water.
Judging from the heads that were passed around, those killed this time were indeed important figures in the thirty-sixth chamber of Southern Shaolin. It is said that even the abbot Zhishan Zen Master was burned to death in the main hall!
Jiang Wen took a sip of tea and thought to himself, no wonder there were people outside shouting against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. They were all lay disciples of Southern Shaolin. They were so angry after receiving the news!
Others don't know it, but Master Jiang knows it very well. The Qing court has long regarded Southern Shaolin as a thorn in its side, and has secretly bribed and instigated many Southern Shaolin disciples to rebel - such as the Great Compassion Fist that he encountered last week and conveniently silenced.
As Hong Xiguan arrives at his predetermined position this time, Ma Ning'er, the most powerful Shaolin traitor in the original work, has returned to the world. As long as this net starts to tighten, the destruction of Southern Shaolin will only be a matter of time.
Thinking of the poisonous Ma Ning'er, who was covered in ulcers and had a distorted face, Jiang Wen still felt a chill.
But here comes the question, what does the destruction of Southern Shaolin have to do with the arrival of so many people from Xiamei Town?
When Master Luo heard this question, he showed a mysterious smile and said deliberately: "Chief Jiang, do you know why the imperial court spent so much time and would rather offend Jiangnan Wulin than fall out with Southern Shaolin?"
Jiang Wen quickly raised his hand and said, "Please enlighten me."
Master Luo whispered: "There are rumors in the world that the imperial court is eyeing the treasures of Southern Shaolin this time, so it turned against them regardless of the consequences..."
"Treasure? A treasure that has made the rivers and lakes of Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangxi furious, and countless corrupt prefectures and counties also want to get it?"
Jiang Wen pondered for a moment, "Then tell me, how much money and anointing have these monks plundered..."
"Be careful what you say!"
Leader Luo quickly covered his mouth. After all, there was also a descendant of the Diamond Iron Bone Fist, the powerful Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and the Eight-Step Heart Palm sitting there. If the map cannon was fired, there would probably be a fight first.
Master Luo didn't dare to hide it at this time and said quickly, "It is said that among the martial arts treasures in Southern Shaolin, there are treasures left behind by the Minyue Kingdom!"
"Minyue treasure...what other valuable things can be found in this..."
Jiang Wen closed his eyes and calculated. The Minyue Kingdom probably existed from the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty. The treasures from that time...are probably equivalent to the BP machine treasures dug up in the 5G era?
"Superficial! Does the treasure have to be gold and silver?"
Master Luo slapped the table: "It is said that the Minyue treasures hidden in the Shaolin Temple contain the martial arts secrets of the Warring States Period... the swordsmanship of Yue women!"
