The rain in the valley gradually turned to a patter, beating on the bamboo leaves and branches. As the cold wind slanted and the dusk sun shone lightly, it looked like it was scattered.
A few people in the tea house finally wanted to leave. Just now Jiang Wen was talking to his disciples, and the other people in the world had no intention of prying at all. They just thought they were a Taoist priest taking his disciples out to beg for alms.
The most indispensable thing in Wuyi Mountain is monks and Taoists. Regardless of whether they are truly monks or not, anyone who hides in this remote mountain place and does not shave his head or submit to the court will eventually become a homeless person.
As they stood up, Lao Ye also showed an honest smile and prepared to clear the table.
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you something."
One of them, who was described as a "loose" man, laid out six cents of money on the table, pressed it gently with his left palm, and asked in a low voice, "What is the boundary ahead?"
Old Ye Hun didn't care, and naturally ignored the copper coins. He first put away a few tea bowls, wiped the table with a rag on his body, and then said with a smile: "Ahead is Xiamei Town, an important place on the business road that must pass through. , isn’t that where these guest officials are going?”
Seeing that his fluent speech and clear thinking did not match his aging appearance, people in the world moved away from holding the money and continued to ask.
"Then let me ask you, who is the best in Mei Town now?"
The other party finally showed a smile, but there was an eagerness to try on his weather-beaten face.
"The guest officer is joking. It depends on who you fight. As a country boy, I can't be sure."
The other party asked relentlessly.
"It doesn't matter, just tell us who can fight best - is it possible that in your eyes, there is no one in this town who can fight?"
The other party asked several more times. Lao Ye lowered his head and put away the copper coins, with a smile as simple and honest as an old farmer's face, and finally answered with great proficiency.
"Of course it's Master Luo from Bailian Martial Arts School, is it me?"
After saying this, Lao Ye and Jiang Wen looked at each other meaningfully. Only Ningdie saw this scene, and his little face suddenly showed surprise.
"Master, it turns out it's you..."
Jiang Wen quickly covered her mouth.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Although Jiang Wen didn't admit it, he knew that this tea house was located in the middle of the business road from Wuyi Mountain to Xiamei Town. If he hadn't spread Master Luo's reputation day after day, how could he be the number one martial arts school in Xiamei Town? title?
Jiang Wen has been in the world for many years, and he has already figured out some tricks. Fame can be built not only by building it, but also by maintaining it. For a person like Master Luo who is open-minded and has many good relationships, even if he is kicked out every day, no one will stand up and say that he is not good at martial arts.
At first, the person who told Jiang Wen this was so true that he thought the other party was talking nonsense. There was no reason to praise the other party even after losing.
But slowly, Jiang Wen discovered that those who defeated Master Luo would often brag to others that Master Luo was indeed superb in martial arts and well-deserved, but fortunately he was better.
There are even some people who have only empty reputations. When they see Master Luo, they put on airs and really want to compare. The two of them happily clasped their fists and agreed to fight another day, perfecting each other's reputation.
After fighting like this, Master Luo actually maintained a 55-50 record. There was even a story in the town that Master Luo fought twenty-one people in a month and only lost due to lack of physical strength. His martial arts skills were greatly improved. The status of the museum has become more respected.
This friend happened to be in the city of Fuzhou, and Jiang Wen wanted to drop by to visit him this time to see if the Jianghu business he mentioned was indeed getting more and more prosperous as he had expected.
Master Jiang Wen and his disciples had made up their minds and returned to the mountain. They each went to their rooms and had a good sleep, concentrating on preparing things for the long journey.
The first is a simple change of clothes and bedding, which are packed and tied separately and covered with a layer of gray cloth. Their company is indispensable for dining and sleeping in the open air along the way. Then I bought three days' rations for a few people. I couldn't leave hungry before arriving at the next town.
Among them, it took some time to teach the Ningdie Jade Bee Needle. The main reason is that the production of the Jade Bee Needle is troublesome. It must be made according to the ratio of 60% gold and 40% fine steel. Because gold is heavy, it can be thrown far and light.
"Ningdie, you must keep it safe!"
Jiang Wen was extremely distressed and handed the three Jade Bee Needles into her hand, "Although these three Jade Bee Needles will not have the effect of summoning the masked one-armed brother, if you lose them, our property will be destroyed." It’s all a loss!”
Fu Ningdie happily took the three fine hidden weapons, tied them in her hair with a smile, and then said to the master with great pride: "Master, don't worry, I will hide it well and not be discovered!"
The Jade Bee Needle invented by Lin Chaoying is not thrown with heavy wrist force. It mainly relies on the secret of bee venom, and then throws it with a unique technique. It stings the opponent and causes continuous paralysis and pain. Unfortunately, it is not effective for experts with extremely fast reactions and deep internal strength. not good.
It was much easier to teach Little Shitou how to be brave and regretful. Jiang Wen first found a tree to show him, and when he saw the confused expression on his face, he simply used him to practice his moves.
After being beaten for a few times, Xiao Shitou really started to learn to bend his legs, bend his arms, and push his palms in circles. He imitated Kang Long Youhui so well that Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh that in addition to the three major performance systems in the world, he even There are experiential schools in the martial arts system!
Maybe you can use Dugu Nine Swords to kill him next time?
In the past few days, Jiang Wen also took out the sealed forbidden objects from the boat coffin in Shengzhen Cave, including the demon monk Keba skin thangka, "Sukuuitu Praise Notes", "Xunji Shengxian Shu", Li The sect skull Gabala bowl, gilt bronze feather human box, etc. were packed away to prevent them from being stolen by the White Lotus Sect.
Two swords that were still extremely sharp after thousands of years were also carried by Jiang Wen.
The ancient bronze sword of the Yue Kingdom is contained in a lacquered wood scabbard, worn on the left side of the waist, and can be easily drawn with the right hand. Gaozu's snake-killing white jade sword was carried on his back, and it was held in the scabbard of the Shuanghe peach wood magic sword that came from Yuan Huazi.
There was a faint dragon roar when this white jade sword was swung, and it was easy to divide the gold and cut the jade. Jiang Wen always felt that there was something unusual about this sword, but he was not a famous expert in sword appraisal and sword making, so he couldn't explain why, so he couldn't explain it. I plan to go to the city to find an expert.
After telling Lao Ye and the four stone lions to look after the house and saying goodbye to Yuan Huazi, the four Wuyi faction members officially set off.
On this journey, several people set off on Yihai day and arrived on Jiawu day. It took a total of twenty days before and after, and finally completed the winding and winding five hundred miles from Wuyi Mountain to Fuzhou City.
After sleeping in the open air, several of Jiang Wen's disciples lost weight. The soil and dust on the road were unavoidable, which made them as dirty as mud monkeys. Everyone stood in front of the west gate of Fuzhou City in confusion, as if in their own lives. All are gray.
When they passed through Minqing County on this trip, they were trapped in the mountains for three days and three nights because of flooding in a tributary of the Min River. They thought they would never get out in this life.
The Baima River in the city flows slowly, and tourists on the boating lake in the distance can be seen in the waves. The banks of the Baima River outside Yingxian Gate are full of willow trees, with rows of rows swaying in the wind. The scenery is pleasant. Tourists in twos and threes are walking past a building. The exquisite small bridge overlooks the lake and mountains in the distance.
Jiang Wen wiped his face, finally came out of the state of doubting life, and took another step in the same direction.
"Ningdie, let's go quickly. We can have hot meals and a hot bath when we get to the front!"
Jiang Wen encouraged Ningdie's morale, but the little girl hesitantly looked at the tall mansion in front of her, thinking unsteadily of her own disgraced appearance.
"Master...can they let us in?"
It was a majestic mansion, with a flagpole erected on each of the two stone altars on the left and right. Two green flags were flying on the top of the two-foot-high pole. On the right flag, a majestic figure with teeth and claws splayed was embroidered with yellow silk. Lion, the flag is fluttering in the wind, and the coming and going of the door is very lively.
Jiang Wen smiled confidently: "The most important thing in traveling in the world is loyalty, and the best places are the martial arts hall and the escort agency. What's the problem for our Wuyi sect to settle in the escort agency?"
After saying that, he stepped into it with his head held high and his posture comfortable. Xiao Shitou and Hong Wending followed in silently.
Ningdie then walked behind Xiao Shitou and Hong Wending, and looked back at the building again before entering the door.
The northwest wind was howling loudly at this time, and the flag in front of the door was fluttering in the wind. The lion was even more lifelike, with four yellow characters embroidered on the left flag.
