When Lu Hanjiang and the two returned to the inn, Mr. Zhou and the other three actually came to the door in person, each sent the "registration fee", and treated each other with courtesy from beginning to end. They had no doubts when they heard that he said there would be a second test tomorrow. , withdrew respectfully.
Until one hundred and fifty taels of silver were placed in front of her, Princess Yongle still felt incredible.
"Are you really planning to accept the three of them as disciples?" she asked curiously.
"Ah? How is that possible?" Lu Hanjiang pointed to the silver coins on the table and said, "Isn't our original purpose just to 'borrow' some money?"
Princess Yongle was stunned for a while, and it took her a while to react. She was a little unsure and said: "You, you are not planning to leave Changxing County now, are you?"
What kind of empty-handed white wolf is this? He is so shameless even if he eats everything.
"That's what I originally planned."
Lu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the letter that had just been delivered to his hand. Although he and Yongle were traveling together, their whereabouts had always been within the protection range of the Jin Yiwei. At least a hundred Jin Yiwei were on standby within twenty miles.
This arrangement was not for safety reasons, but because Lu Hanjiang needed to pay attention to what was happening in the world at all times. The news that reached him at this time was the work of the Jin Yiwei who was waiting around.
"Tsk, Wudang is indeed extraordinary. This movement is faster than I thought..." Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes, held the letter in his palm and crumpled it into a ball. With a slight movement of Qi, the paper ball instantly turned into a ball. The crumbs were thrown out of the window by him.
"Wu, Dang?"
Listening to Lu Hanjiang's soliloquy, Princess Yongle was a little confused. The palace was too far away from the Jianghu, and they were two different worlds. Maybe she could know that Wudang was a famous Jianghu sect, but how famous it was. It was powerful, but she didn't understand it.
"Ah, it's just a small matter. Don't worry about it. It seems that we need to stay in this county for a few more days."
Lu Hanjiang's calm smile did not dispel Yongle's curiosity, but she didn't even understand where to start from, so she chose to remain silent for the time being.
The news from the Jin Yiwei came very quickly. After Wangchen lost Chi Cangping, he immediately sent word to the Wudang Sect. Now a large number of Wudang disciples are preparing to go down the mountain to find someone.
The head of Qiyunzi seems to be very interested in Chi Cangping's trouble-making ability. Among this group of people looking for people, there are three of the Seven Wudang Sons.
Although it is not easy to find someone in the vast world, with Wudang's connections and power, coupled with those people's understanding of Chi Cangping and their awareness of danger, it is impossible to say that it is really possible to ruin his arrangements.
Lu Hanjiang thought over and over again and made two plans. First, he transferred a group of people from the capital overnight to spread news about "Lu Shisan" near Huashan in order to confuse Wangchen who was looking for him.
At the same time, he recruited a capable Baihu under him overnight and used the art of disguise to make him look like himself, the "Lu Shisan" in Wangchen's eyes, and asked him to cooperate and try to hold Wangchen down.
Secondly, he changed his plan of teasing the three lucky people today. He originally planned to let them set off outside the city tomorrow to fetch ninety-nine flowers, plants, birds and beasts. This was an impossible task, purely to delay time. By the time they reacted, Lu Hanjiang had already flown away.
But, now it seems that we need to change the method of play.
So on the next day, with almost half of the county people watching, Lu Hanjiang told the second test. He drew a picture of the size of the teahouse on the second floor of the teahouse, and then asked the three of them to stand upside down along the perimeter of the teahouse. Walk three times.
What kind of monster test was this? Not to mention how shocked and hooting the onlookers around her were. Among the three of them, Miss Xu was the first to lose her composure. She was such a shameful person, and her daughter's family just couldn't stand it.
So Lu Hanjiang immediately proposed: "Since the girl doesn't want to, I won't force you. Please take back these fifty taels of silver. You have no fate with this sect."
This move made the spectators nod in agreement. Several people who had called him a liar yesterday were silent. However, Miss Xu had no nerve to take back the money at this time. She held on and said: "It's a little girl who can't pass the test." Incompetent, senior, please don’t mention returning the money again.”
So Lu Hanjiang accepted the money with peace of mind. Looking at the fifty taels of silver, he couldn't help but sigh, the self-esteem of young people, what a great way to make money.
Miss Xu flinched, but the other two young masters took the risk. In full view of everyone, they literally stood on their heads and started spinning around outside the teahouse.
These two people had never practiced martial arts, and it took them several hours to complete these three rounds. After finishing, they lay on the ground panting, their red faces not due to congestion from handstands, but from shame, being treated like monkeys. After watching it for several hours, can you not be ashamed?
So the two people finally passed the second test, and Lu Hanjiang asked them to come back to the teahouse tomorrow to accept the final test. By this time, the people in Changxing County had changed their minds from watching the show to being curious.
They really believed that Lu Hanjiang was an expert. Otherwise, why would these three young ladies from wealthy families be willing to give away money and then act like monkeys?
So on the third day, almost all the people in Changxing County who had no urgent matters at hand came to the teahouse to watch the excitement. They seemed to be about to witness the birth of a legend. The shopkeeper of the teahouse was extremely happy. The business on this day was as good as half a year. of portion.
Young Master Zhou and Young Master Shan were waiting at the teahouse early in the morning. When Lu Hanjiang arrived, they greeted him with great courtesy. At this moment, they believed more than anyone else that this man must be a martial arts expert, otherwise why bother them with so much effort.
After Lu Hanjiang arrived, he asked them a question: "What do you think you are afraid of or are you not good at?"
The two of them looked at each other. After experiencing the humiliation of standing on their heads and spinning in circles yesterday, their mental endurance had reached a new level. This time, they didn't hesitate for long and spoke out.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Mr. Shan said: "When I was young, I was bitten by a long bug, and I have been afraid of this thing ever since."
Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Juniors are afraid of heights."
After listening, Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then asked the teahouse owner to find a non-venomous grass snake. This was the benefactor sent by God to give him money. Naturally, the owner would not refuse.
After the shopkeeper found the non-venomous snake, Lu Hanjiang said to Mr. Shan: "Pick it up and play with it for a quarter of an hour, and you will be considered to have passed the test."
Mr. Shan's face turned pale after hearing this, but the people around him couldn't help but make noises. He couldn't keep his face down, so he stretched out his hand and took the snake from the shopkeeper's hand. The cold and lubricating touch suddenly gave him goosebumps all over his body. Shen's grass snake wormed its way into his body along the sleeves.
Shan Gongzi, who was so frightened that he was out of his wits, kept screaming strangely. After finally shaking the grass snake out with the help of everyone, he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, and his crotch was slightly moist.
This scene made everyone grin and bear all kinds of expressions. Young Master Zhou felt relieved after seeing Young Master Shan's tragic situation.
After Mr. Shan failed, Mr. Zhou was led by Lu Hanjiang to the tallest bell tower in the county, which was four to five feet high. Lu Hanjiang asked everyone to work together to spread thatch under the bell tower, and then said to Mr. Zhou: "Your The test is to jump from here.”
Mr. Zhou looked at the thatch pile below, his face turned a little pale, but he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He took a few deep breaths on the bell tower and jumped down. Although he fell on the thatch pile, he was dizzy, but he still heard the sound. He received compliments from people around him.
He climbed up with his groggy head and knelt down in front of Lu Hanjiang: "Senior, I have passed three tests. Please accept me as your disciple as agreed!"
But Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "I can't accept you."
Everyone was shocked when these words came out, but before everyone started to curse, Lu Hanjiang took out a dagger and handed it to Mr. Zhou. The dagger was exquisitely made and made of extraordinary materials. It also had the word "Cangping" engraved on it. It looks unusual.
After Lu Hanjiang returned the sword to Chi Cangping, the other party returned it to Chi Cangping because Lu Hanjiang wanted to go to Hengshan under his identity, so he used it to fake his identity.
Lu Hanjiang handed it to Mr. Zhou and said in a deep voice: "I am Chi Cangping, an inner disciple of the Wudang Sect. According to the rules, I cannot accept disciples before I leave. But since you and I have made an agreement, I will not break my promise. This sword is With my token, you can take it to Wudang Mountain and worship at the door of Wudang Qizichi Yiming."
Wu-Tang Clan!
Everyone was holding their breath and looking at the dagger. Everyone in the world knew the reputation of Wudang Shaolin. Moreover, Chi Cangping, Chi Yiming, and the knowledgeable people in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed -
"Could this Young Master Chi be the son of that 'Tai Wu' Master Chi?"
"Oh my god, Master Zhou really met a noble man this week!"
Even Young Master Shan and Miss Xu looked at Young Master Zhou with envy and even jealousy. They could not help but regret it. If they had known that this was a master of the Wudang Sect, they would have insisted on whatever they said.
At this moment, Mr. Zhou was so excited that he could not speak coherently. He took the dagger tremblingly and couldn't utter a complete sentence despite trembling for a long time.
Lu Hanjiang patted him on the shoulder: "There is no need to call me senior from now on, just call me Senior Brother Chi."
"Senior Brother Chi!" Mr. Zhou shouted loudly.
"Well," Lu Hanjiang nodded and said with a smile: "Without further delay, you can leave for Wudang to become a disciple. I have some things to do, so I won't go with you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chi!"
After Mr. Zhou thanked him, he took the opportunity to ask what was next: "May I ask, senior brother, where are you going?"
After Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, he said: "It's okay to tell you. I heard that the Demonic Xuantian Sect intends to go south again. How can we, the righteous people of Jianghu, just stand by and watch. I, Chi Cangping, went down the mountain this time to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. This time I go to the North, and I must do it." Cut off the head of the Xuantian Cult Master to show off the power of my righteous way!"
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard his declaration. Amidst the greetings from Young Master Chi, Lu Hanjiang and Yongle drove away in their carriage, leaving only the inexplicably moved Mr. Zhou and the excited crowd to see him off in the distance.
After sending Lu Hanjiang away, Mr. Zhou returned home amidst the cheers of everyone, and immediately packed his bags, without even having time to tell his family that he was heading to Wudang Mountain.
He thought that this time Brother Chi went north to slay demons, it would be a big event in the world, and the same war between good and evil as six years ago might break out. If he rushed to Wudang early to convey the news, he could become famous all over the world with all the heroes. .
When he thought about the future when people would no longer call him Master Zhou, but Daxia Zhou, he couldn't hold back the heat in his heart. After packing his luggage, he rushed to Wudang at night.
