Thousands of rock springs are flowing down, and thousands of trees are lingering. The high mountains on the border between Fujian and Guangdong are gradually disappearing, and the dense river network is beginning to reveal its true appearance. Most of the official roads are also muddy and difficult to navigate due to rain, so boating has become more difficult. Good choice.
"Headmaster Jiang, we are just one step away from the waterway ahead. We have paid all the fees and quickly boarded the boat."
The rich and powerful Zhou Long came over, his tone was respectful but not slanderous. It was obvious that he had already mastered the not-so-profound human ways in the world.
He could see that Jiang Wen liked to be called the leader, so he deliberately flattered him so lightly so that he could invite a real Buddha to his Vajra Sect and ensure safety along the way.
After being together for a few days, the people of the Vajra Sect slowly and helplessly discovered that they might not even be able to defeat two children without this Taoist priest who made their head in awe.
In the past few days, everyone had switched from land to water and followed the river for several miles. Now they were finally close to their destination.
The group stood on a sturdy boat and sailed on the calm river. They saw a prosperous and beautiful place surrounded by Haochi and connected to the sea on six sides slowly emerging in front of them. On the other side, the terrain is low-lying and densely covered with rivers, and it is only one step away from the sea.
Seeing the embankments emerging one after another, like the ants on the sturdy ships they were riding on, they were busy shuttling through the port. People who had long lived in the north had a faint feeling that they were a drop in the ocean, and all the hard work of traveling and traveling along the way was gone.
Jiang Wen was used to it, so he was not too surprised by the gray wooden boat in front of him. He was just slightly surprised that Wang Shangjia of Pingnan was so bold and dared to take out a thin, pointed-bottomed boat with a low head and a high tail, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Customer profit.
Could it be that abusing such a ship that was worthy of being used as a warship at this time was also a happy way to show loyalty to the Qing court?
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. The expenses incurred along the way will be settled when I arrive in Guangzhou. I can't take advantage of you."
Zhou Long was quite impressed when he heard the words "General Bodyguard". However, he did not answer the question. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced things about Guangzhou City.
"Master Jiang, you are here at the right time. Guangzhou City is very lively now. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Jiang Wen also asked with some curiosity: "I was a little curious from the beginning. What were the two exciting things you mentioned earlier, and why did you say that everyone in the world would flock to them?"
People in the martial arts world have a lively temper that cannot be changed. It is said that there is a secret competition between Shaolin and Wudang in Guangzhou, which is a good thing that people flock to. For a small sect, if they can get a little benefit from Taishan Beidou, it will be more than enough.
But now, is there anything more exciting than a fight between two big guys? Could it be that Shunzhi set up a ring in the city to have an unrestricted fight with Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty who was traveling to Yunnan and Guizhou?
"Master Jiang, I dare to ask, do you think there is anything in this world that everyone likes?"
Jiang Wen was stunned by these words.
He put his hands on the side of the ship and stared at the golden scales and broken leaves of the Zhujiang River. He circled the city endlessly and then went to the sea. He felt a surge of pride in his chest. He stretched out a hand as if holding the inverted universe in the air, and slowly Xu said the answer in his heart.
"Awakening to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman. It must be power, wealth and beauty!"
"...Headmaster Jiang is indeed in a good temper."
Zhou Long almost fell down in fright.
Why does this sound so like a rebellion? As a Taoist priest, is it really appropriate for him to speak naturally like this when he is full of wine, sex and wealth?
But then he thought about it, the hero in front of him could speak so nakedly in front of him, which meant that he was regarded as a trustworthy person, so he immediately showed a smile that all men knew, and slowly extended a thumbs up and praised.
"Headmaster Jiang is really quick to talk! Then tell me, if you can do these three things at the same time, wouldn't it be the most rare and beautiful thing in the world!"
Zhou Long said with a longing look on his face, introducing the most praiseworthy things in Guangzhou City at the moment.
One is that a senior martial artist in the city will hold a "Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference" in ten days and announce his complete withdrawal from the martial arts. Guests from all over the world were invited to witness this grand event. After all, Foshan, next door to Guangzhou City, is a famous hometown of martial arts. Various boxing schools emerge in endlessly, making it the center of martial arts in the southeast.
Although washing hands in a golden basin is lively, the key is not here.
Everyone knows that this wealthy senior is already old, but he only has one daughter at home. The so-called "washing hands in a golden basin" is not important at all. Anyway, this senior stopped walking around in the world ten years ago. This grand event was just held to build momentum for the only daughter in the family who was about to enter the world and continue the glory of the martial arts family.
The hero has been walking in the world for many years, and there are always two enemies and enemies. The sons and daughters of the world are the elders of the world. If they do not make progress despite their great reputation, they will only end up being killed in three lifetimes. Therefore, recruiting a son-in-law is something that does not need to be said clearly.
Don’t you see, even the great hero Guo Jing wants to find a good husband for his unattractive eldest daughter, and give him a ride on his horse?
At this time, the signal has become very obvious. If someone can take this opportunity to fall into the eyes of the Dharma, he or she may be able to marry a beautiful lady and inherit a wealth of wealth. From now on, he will enjoy the spotlight as a member of a famous family.
"Mr. Escort Zhou, may I ask if you are married?"
Jiang Wen looked at this unshaven, round-faced man suspiciously, and he seemed so excited. Could it be that he just looked mature, but was actually just an adult?
Zhou Long put away the longing look on his face in embarrassment and said calmly: "Master Jiang is laughing, my child is eight years old."
He also flattered Jiang Wen and said, "Master Jiang, you are young and promising, with strong martial arts skills. You have a great reputation at such a young age. I think you can be the best just by changing into this Taoist robe..."
"Stop it, stop it!"
Jiang Wen looked at the other party with a dark face, held up the Five Sacred Crown on his head, and recited the words "infinite longevity and blessings".
"To put it so nicely, isn't this just a step-in-law? We, the Wuyi Sect, have such a huge foundation and still worry about no one to inherit it. How can we have the time to fight for these small profits?"
Jiang Wen was not lying. A barren mountain as big as Dawangfeng had not been dealt with yet. How could he have time to think about his children's affair?
What’s more, this is sheer nonsense.
At first, Jiang Wen thought that he had just escaped from the plot of the Fuwei Escorts massacre, and that he was about to trigger the plot of Hengshan faction Liu Zhengfeng washing his hands in a golden basin. He then looked at the three unlucky disciples he had brought with him. Could it be that he had obtained them? Is it Yue Buqun's script?
But when the other party heard what the other party said about the story of Jack Su, the only daughter in the family and a wealthy family, this guess was shattered in an instant. What was the use of the other party's beauty? If you want to eat soft rice, wouldn't it be better to just go to Mingjiao directly?
"Mr. Zhou, head escort, what is the name of this martial arts senior?"
Jiang Wen asked again casually.
Zhou Long quickly raised his hands towards the sea and the sky, showing great respect: "That is the elder Luo of the Jianghu who has 'a golden sword to crush the green forest'. He is the master of the world!"
After some eloquent words, Jiang Wen was basically sure that the other party had listened too much to storytelling novels. Otherwise, as a practicing practitioner in Jinzhong, he would worship a figure from far away in the world of Guangdong. There was probably something wrong with him.
Besides, who is this Luo Yuantong?
Jiang Wen had never been to Guangdong during his travels in the past few years, and had never heard of these deeds. After thinking about it, he couldn't even think of a hero with this name in the Fourteen Golden Books. Could it be that he was a local hero born in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
"Mr. Escort Zhou, why do you say it's so lively? Do you want to divorce your wife and abandon your son to make a fortune?"
Jiang Wen teased maliciously.
Zhou Long laughed heartily, his round face showing no grudge at all, and patted the escort car behind him who was closely guarding him.
"I don't have that thought anymore. The reason why I understand so clearly is because my senior brother Xiu Shu told me. The thing escorted by this escort is the sword that the old man made for me at a huge expense. If it can be safely delivered to the house, it will be fine." Hospitality is enough.”
Several times on the road, Jiang Wen planned to see the true appearance of the sword, but when he saw the nervous look on the top and bottom of the Vajra Gate, he was embarrassed to mention it, for fear that the other party would treat him as a villain and take strict precautions - these people would have to fight with Yan because of suspicion. After the bloody battle in the Qing Fist Sect, I always felt like I had some brain problems after practicing so hard.
Jiang Wen thought about it carefully and felt that there was no need to get involved in this matter, so he could just let these people in the world make trouble. However, he could use the whirlpool of Guangzhou to earn some extra fame and fortune.
Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about how old Luo, the old man in the city, still had to build momentum for his daughter's future status in the world and use up his last remaining energy.
Jiang Wen looked back at the disciples who were looking at the Pearl River.
Hong Wen was steady and steady against the bumps of the wind and waves, as if he was trying to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts from the vast sea. Xiao Shitou was practicing volleyball with the disciples of the Vajra Sect, and the pinging on his body did not hurt at all. Fu Ningdie was blind. Shendi entered a state of seasickness, hugging his thigh and refusing to let go.
From now on, these three little guys will probably have to keep company with this world, and they should do what the leader should do and pave the way and build bridges for these apprentices in advance.
"Master Jiang, why did you suddenly stop talking? I haven't talked about the second thing yet."
Seeing Jiang Wen's silence, Zhou Long thought he was interested in this matter, but he was too embarrassed to speak because of his feelings, so he quickly continued with a silly smile.
"The second thing I want to say is somewhat similar to what happened to Senior Luo."
"Recently, on Xiguan Street, a wealthy family set up an arena. Anyone who wins will be given a thousand taels of silver. Masters from all sides have challenged one after another but failed. Head Jiang might as well give it a try. If To come out on top is a first-class success.”
This kind of excitement is much more plain and simple. Stories about fighting in the ring have been around for generations. Unless these two excitements are combined, the rich lady competes in the ring to recruit a bride. Jiang Wen is willing to join in the fun.
But this is unlikely. After all, Miss Yueru of the Lin family is only seven years old. No matter how messy the script is, it can't be so cuffable.
"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness. It's a pity that Jiang has no intention of participating in these two matters. Your attentiveness will be in vain."
Staying away from the center of right and wrong and quietly making a fortune was Jiang Wen's principle for this trip. Xiguan Street and Luo Mansion were instantly listed as forbidden areas by Jiang Wen, who decided to hide as far away as possible.
"It doesn't matter, I just said it casually."
Zhou Long waved his hand with a smile, and suddenly pointed in the distance, "Good guy, such a big city!"
During the chat, the short voyage soon came to an end. As the shadow of the sail faded, a large city gate connecting Dong Haoyong in the east and Xi Haoyong in the west - Yudai Hao, suddenly came into view, five years long. The city moat, which is more than 20 feet wide and more than 20 feet wide, winds under the towering south city wall, guarding the city like a jade belt.
The passenger unloading pier is located on Haopan Street. As the Guangzhou ship docked, everyone was busy unloading the goods and leading the cars. Following the flow of people, they came to Pier Street and inquired about the final destination.
What’s interesting is that the team that originally called themselves the King Kong Gate arrived near the pier, and everyone in the gate smiled tacitly.
Several disciples skillfully replaced the inconspicuous little flag on the escort carriage with a regimental embroidered black tiger escort flag fluttering in the wind. They erected it at the most obvious height and shouted the name of Xinglong Escort Bureau along the way. Number.
At this time, even the injured disciples unhesitatingly opened their coats in the middle of winter, revealing their black, plush chests. They looked like a group of mighty warriors who had finally won after days of hard fighting, and immediately gained the respect of many people along the way.
Zhou Longling, the head of the Xinglong Escort Bureau and the head of the Vajra Fist, walked majestically in front of the motorcade. The team marched toward the Luo Mansion in a mighty manner. His tall and majestic figure was quite eye-catching.
But when he saw Jiang Wen and his entourage following behind in a carriage to watch the excitement, he hurriedly took a few steps back and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Headmaster Jiang made you laugh. We had no choice but to do this."
Seeing that the person who looked like Xiong Zhen just now was now submissive, Fu Ningdie burst into laughter. Jiang Wen forced her back into the carriage, cupped her fists and ended the topic.
"You don't need to mind, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Jiang. Jiang knows all these things. You can just do it on your own. Thanks to your guidance and arrangements along the way."
Zhou Longyuan showed a silly smile on his face, accepted the favor in a unique Jianghu way, turned around and continued to clear the way ahead.
"Master, you are so majestic! Is our Wuyi Sect's reputation in the world so famous?"
Fu Ningdie had obviously had some misunderstandings since seeing Jiang Wen stop fighting and being treated respectfully along the way. She began to wonder if Jiang Wen was famous outside without telling him, and even practiced diligently. Quite a few.
However, the Wuyi sect has a bad reputation.
Thanks to the child's great forgetfulness, Fu Ningdie should have remembered that when they first entered Fuzhou City, the entire group was almost kicked out as a gang of beggars.
"Ningdie, you have to remember that in the world, righteousness comes first and benefit comes first. Even if you don't lose face, someone will give you two cents of face if you put both righteousness and benefit at the same time."
Jiang Wen drove the carriage slowly and turned around to explain to his young apprentice, "When you have mastered martial arts, you will know that everything will go smoothly if you have face, but if you lose face, it will be difficult to move forward. I think you are also a person who doesn't like me." If you have a temperament that endures hardship, it is always right to remember these things.”
Jiang Wen understood very well what Zhou Long was doing now.
Ever since Zhou Long's senior brother got involved in the affairs of Southern Shaolin, the mess he made was involuntarily dumped on him. Therefore, this man from a merchant family in Shanxi had to find a way out for his down-and-out fellow disciples. .
Although his family was wealthy, he was not a wealthy spendthrift and could not afford to support so many people. After thinking about it, he felt that these rough guys who were not engaged in production and caused trouble could not do business, and their families could not support themselves for nothing. Maybe they could engage in the most prosperous escort business at the moment and make money with their skills.
But everything is difficult at the beginning. Naturally, a group of unknown escorts could not get any business. They could only pick up some unprofitable escort orders left by others. It was not until today that they escorted the sword from Jingchu directly to Guangzhou that they really started to make a name for themselves. Opportunity.
You must have your own way to travel darts, either by convincing, buying off, or making good friends with the black and white forces along the way, and slowly opening up a safe commercial dart travel route. Only then can you bring a steady stream of income. The escorts in several provinces were too dangerous, so they fell into the hands of the little-known Xinglong Escort Agency.
Therefore, Jiang Wen knew that when a new escort agency like this opened with no money and no one, he had no choice but to venture in. Even if he disguised himself and pretended to be powerful, there was no shame in it. As long as he could make a name for himself in the world and earn a reputation, he would naturally succeed in the future. There will be opportunities for healthy development like a snowball.
Vajra Fist was originally a hard Kung Fu method in Shaolin Kung Fu that exercises the hardness of the fists and arm strength, thereby changing the bone density of the fists and arms. To practice this skill, use the methods of pushing the tripod and climbing the scorpion every day to enhance the resistance and striking ability of the fists.
Zhou Long's martial arts training in the sect is good, and he is a businessman who has not lost his brain and tongue. Although judging from the information fed back by the Sky Eye Cha system, the opponent can only be regarded as a second-rate figure in the world, but Jiang Wen is quite optimistic about him. The future.
After all, this man is willing to use his brain.
"Boss Mr. Zhou, we are going to the Luo Mansion just ahead. We, master and disciple, will take our leave now. We will chat with you another day!"
It was a smooth journey together, and Jiang Wen didn't intend to accept this unearned reward. When he saw that everything was fine, he left the Luo family's mansion without hesitation, and walked further and further away without even revealing where he was staying.
Ma Dashan has now changed his name and is in Guangzhou. It was originally a good place to stay, but it is very likely that he will run into Yuan Ziyi and Yan Yongchun. How embarrassing it will be if he bumps into each other - Jiang Wen has not yet thought about what he said. The reason for coming to Guangzhou will not be considered for the time being.
Furthermore, given the sensitivity of his current identity, his identity as the messenger of the Jingnan Palace must not be used. Even his relationship with the Fuwei Escort Bureau may have been targeted by others. If he rashly contacts the Guangzhou Branch, he will easily get burned.
The safest way is to be the leader of the Wuyi sect, which is a little-known family. There are many sects of different sizes in Guangzhou and Foshan every year, so they can naturally integrate into the local martial arts.
Those who should understand this identity will naturally understand it, and those who don’t understand won’t mind. You can definitely take advantage of this trip to Guangzhou to become famous, and use the opportunity to spread the name of the Wuyi Sect. From now on, you will have many benefits in the world. More convenience, at least one more specious vest.
"I wonder where Southern Shaolin is stationed in Guangzhou City now?"
Jiang Wen touched his chin. He had taken care of Hong Xiguan's son for so long. How could he be responsible for the basic necessities of food, clothing, and daily life?
Besides, since ancient times, as a Taoist family, it is natural for them to go to temples as Taoist priests. They can also get in touch with the Jianghu forces and promote the name of the Wuyi sect, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
As it was just after noon, Jiang Wen first went to Nanchan Temple where it was rumored that disciples of Central and Southern Shaolin gathered, but found nothing. He simply drove his car to several ancient temples and Zen forests in the city, asking everywhere for the whereabouts of Southern Shaolin.
However, after some inquiring, he suddenly discovered that no temple knew the whereabouts of Southern Shaolin, as if the force causing the storm did not exist in Guangzhou city at all.
Jiang Wen, who did not believe in evil, continued to search. He guessed that because Southern Shaolin had been labeled as a rebel, no one dared to admit that he was involved with them. A strong dragon is not as powerful as a local snake. It is difficult for a mountain sect that no one knows about like the Wuyi Sect to connect to the information line in the martial arts world, so it seems particularly out of place.
After a search until it was getting dark, Jiang Wen and his party still found nothing. They could only find an inn to stay first like country people entering the city.
Jiang Wen gritted his teeth, stopped the car and untied his horse, and checked into an inn outside Guide Gate. He decided to wait until dark before asking the local gangsters for information, so that he could take his apprentice to see the ubiquitous but mysterious figure in the movie. Zhenrong’s huge organization——
Beggars gang.
