Xiamei Town.
"Good guy, what are these people doing here?"
A week later, Jiang Wen came here again with his apprentice.
But just a few days later, the atmosphere in the town became even weirder. Many people with swords and swords in their hands flocked here, creating a feeling that a storm was coming.
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 force to break the law. These independent factors that are active have always been unstable factors.
It’s not discrimination, but people in the world are all risk lovers. Maybe they don’t cause disputes, but wherever there are disputes, they are bound to be there.
"Master, if you want to know, can't you just 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 the Jianghu, there are many undercurrents hidden. It is by no means as clear as in a novel that you can find out by finding a restaurant and rewarding the waiter with a few coins - the real inner gate of the Jianghu, All require jargon and identity verification to be qualified to know.
"It can't be that simple."
Jiang Wen waved his hands and said, "Look at their furrowed brows and their yintang performance. They are probably in the business of 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 tearful. It didn't look like he was trying to be evil.
Some of those Jianghu people drank wine, walked up to Jiang Wen, and shouted at him hoarsely, "Taoist Master! Come with us to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
...Is there really such a lunacy?
"Little Shitou, let's go. I think the official wants to fish and enforce the law!"
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 and 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 apprentices?
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 times can be refined into gold". Two rows of Taishi chairs are spread out across the hall. The instructors of several local martial arts schools and boxing sects are here to have tea and meet.
In the center, a trainer 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 Qin and Jin merchants 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 capital of Anhui Province, which was robbed by Zhejiang this time!
Fujian Southern Shaolin consists of six temples in central Fujian including Xianyou Nine Temples, Putian Linquan Temple, Zhao'an Changlin Temple, Fuxinning Temple, Dongshan Gulai Temple, and Quanzhou Dongchan Temple. It recruits disciples and spreads martial arts in the south. 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 submit. Moreover, many clues point to them, and they have always 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 to engage in some political speculation. For example, the Tianlong Sect 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 and the disaster is deepened, it will inevitably lead to even more serious consequences.
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 Southern Shaolin from Cunning Rabbit San Cave happened to be the host, and the leaders all gathered in one place, and they 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 location this time, Ma Ning'er, the most powerful Shaolin traitor in the original work, has returned to the world. As long as this net begins 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 in Xiamei Town?
When Master Luo heard this question, he showed a mysterious smile and said deliberately: "Director Jiang, do you know why the court is spending 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? The treasure that Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi are outraged by, and countless prefectures and counties are corrupted to get?"
Jiang Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me, how much money and anointing did these monks plunder..."
"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-Calling 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 at that time were 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..."
"Yue Nu Swordsmanship!"
