What Zhu Yunwen gave Zhang Ren was a good horse, which can be regarded as a supercar of this era.
Zhang Ren quickly caught up with the large group and was speechless. It was not until they left the boundary of Yingtian Mansion that Lin Ling came to say goodbye to Zhang Ren.
After all, Lin Ling is still the chief arrest officer of Yingtianfu Yamen, so it is impossible for him to go to Ruchang with the large team, not to mention that he still has an elderly mother at home.
Of course, before leaving, Lin Ling did not forget to ask: "Zhang Ren, what are your plans next? Will you follow these people to Ruchang? Or return to the court in the future?"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "I don't want to go to Ruchang, and I don't want to go back to the court. From now on, I will probably wander around the world."
Lin Ling smiled slightly: "Brother, your choice is very suitable for me. When I have more free time in the future, I may join you in the world, but before that, it is better for you to go to Wudang."
Zhang Ren was puzzled and asked quickly: "Brother Lin, why is this?"
Lin Ling explained: "Everyone has his own secret. Although I don't know where your inner power comes from, I can still feel the strong and yang aura in it. People in the world are not stupid. As long as you take action, the Nine Yang Manual may be recognized by others. Since you have such magical power and are affiliated with the Jin Yiwei, you will inevitably attract the attention of others when you enter the world."
Zhang Ren said: "Isn't this the charm of Jianghu?"
Lin Ling nodded and said: "You are right, but it would be bad if you lose your life because of this. There are only three schools in the world that can learn the Nine Yang Manual, Shaolin, Emei and Wudang. Although Emei has not I will accept some male disciples, but it’s still not convenient. You can’t abide by the rules and regulations of Shaolin, so your only choice is Wudang. As long as you join Wudang, no one in this martial arts world will dare to do anything to you. And I am the same. Coming from Wudang, I hope from the bottom of my heart to become a fellow disciple with you."
When mentioning Wudang, the first thing Zhang Ren thought of was the old men and women practicing Tai Chi in the park. After all, Tai Chi was widely spread and famous in later generations. As for actual combat, Zhang Ren could only shake his head silently.
Zhang Ren shrugged and asked Lin Ling: "Wudang's status in the world is not low, so people can ask for me when I go?"
Lin Ling nodded firmly and said, "Others may not be able to do it, but you can definitely do it. After all, you have already mastered the Nine Yang Magic Skills and you are young. There is no way that Wudang will reject such a good young talent."
Zhang Ren thought about it, even if he couldn't join Wudang with the Nine Suns Magic Skill, he still had a relationship with Zhang Wuji, and he got Zhang Wuji's Great Shift of the World. Based on this relationship alone, Wudang would let him join, right?
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "I don't have anywhere to go anyway, so I'll just follow Brother Lin's wishes and go to Wudang."
Lin Ling smiled and nodded, and said, "Maybe we will be brothers when we meet again next time. Well, I will see you again after a long journey, and I will go back now."
Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards Lin Ling and said, "Brother Lin, we will meet again later."
This is just a polite remark. In this era, there are not even mobile phones. Once many people say goodbye, it will last a lifetime.
However, if we really become brothers and have a sect as a link, then there will still be a chance to meet.
….
Lin Ling smiled slightly and said, "See you later, see you in the world."
After sending Lin Ling away, Zhang Ren was no longer ready to continue to Ruchang. He was ready to wander the world alone.
These days, both Zhu Yunxi and Cao Bing and others are very dependent on Zhang Ren. When they learned that Zhang Ren was leaving, everyone tried to persuade him to stay.
But Zhang Ren was determined, how could they keep him? Besides, they had already received enough help from Zhang Ren. It would be somewhat unjustifiable if they were still dragging Zhang Ren away at this moment.
As for the Man with a Thousand Faces, Jiang Yu asked him to follow Zhang Ren all the time, so he also planned to follow Zhang Ren in the world.
But Zhang Ren refused. The reason he gave was that Zhu Yunxi and others still needed the escort of Qianmenren. In addition, Zhang Ren also categorically said that he had no money and could not support himself and Qianmenren.
He had a thousand taels of silver notes in his pocket, but Thousand Faces Man didn't know about it.
Just the Tao.
Regardless of his noble status, Zhang Ren was considered a poor man, so the Thousand Faces Man did not persist.
Although the Thousand-faced Man occasionally jumped out, he also had a consistent character. Seeing Zhu Yunxi and others looking at him with bright eyes, he agreed to Zhang Ren's proposal.
Of course, Zhang Ren also told Qianmianren that he was about to go to Wudang Mountain, so that Qianmianren could come to Wudang Mountain to find him if anything happened in the future.
After explaining this, Zhang Ren happily embarked on a journey of rivers and lakes.
The journey is full of scenery, and experiencing the great scenery can indeed make you feel happier.
This is also the reason why Zhang Ren refused to bring the Thousand-Faced Man with him. In fact, if they had followed the official route along the way, Zhu Yunxi and the others would not have been in danger anyway, and there would be no need for the Thousand-Faced Man to protect them.
In fact, Zhang Ren felt that two grown men traveling together in the world would be a bit of a disgrace and would affect his mood to some extent. If it were a beautiful woman, it would be almost the same.
When he thought of beauties, Zhang Ren also thought of Xu Haoyuan. It would be good if he and Xu Haoyuan could travel hand in hand.
So Zhang Ren did not go to Wudang Mountain first, but went to the Beggar Clan Headquarters first.
It's just that after traveling all this way, Zhang Ren didn't see Xu Haoyuan, whom he missed so much. According to the disciples of the Beggar Clan, Elder Xu was preparing to take over as the leader of the Beggar Clan. He had been in seclusion for a long time and rarely saw outsiders. As for when he would leave. Guan did not give a specific explanation.
Although Zhang Ren felt that he was not an outsider, he did not disturb Xu Haoyuan's retreat. After all, being able to succeed as the leader of the Beggar Clan was a big deal. In the future, Zhang Ren could roam the world and be able to say that he was the leader of the Beggar Clan. This would be a lot of face. .
In the end, Zhang Ren left a letter to Xu Haoyuan, telling her that he would go to Wudang. At the same time, for Xu Haoyuan's sake, Zhang Ren also donated 100 taels of silver notes to the Beggar Clan.
The members of the Beggar Gang are not only Jianghu people, but also the poorest people in the Ming Dynasty. Without the earning power of Nine Bags of Gold and Silver King Xiaobo, the beggar gang's plight has become more and more serious. Even the elders of the Jingyi Sect have taken every piece of money from them. Not more than two taels of silver.
People are all realistic. After receiving one hundred taels of silver notes, all the respectable people in the Beggar Clan headquarters came out. They all thanked Zhang Ren profusely, without any appearance of being a gangster.
….
It turns out that the so-called Beggar Gang, despite its title as the largest gang in the world, is just a bunch of poor beggars.
In the end, Zhang Ren left as the disciples of the Beggar Clan saw him off.
After leaving the Beggar Clan Headquarters, Zhang Ren went to Wudang Mountain.
Unlike later generations, Wudang Mountain at this time had not yet been developed into a tourist attraction, so the towns at the foot of the mountain were naturally not as noisy as in later generations.
Zhang Ren led his horse into the town and found that he was being targeted by two gangsters.
These days, those who ride horses are either officers and soldiers or rich people. Looking at Zhang Ren's behavior and conversation, it is naturally easy to be regarded as a rich person.
Although the situation has been good in recent years, it is only as if they have enough to eat. Ordinary people basically have no surplus food. It is rare for a fat sheep to come, and the gangsters in the town are naturally reluctant to let it go.
With Zhang Ren's current level of martial arts, he naturally noticed someone following him early. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place when he first came here, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. As long as the two gangsters didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, he didn't plan to take action.
This town is really not small, but there are not many foreigners coming and going, so there is only one inn in the town.
Zhang Ren tied his horse at the door of the inn and entered the inn.
The light here is somewhat dim. There are only three tables in the lobby, but they are all empty. Obviously there are no customers.
The shopkeeper at the counter was also dozing off with his head propped up on one hand, not paying any attention to the fact that business had come to his door.
Zhang Ren walked to the counter, reached out and knocked on the table, and the store owner suddenly woke up.
Xu Shi had no business for a long time, so when he saw Zhang Ren, the store owner couldn't hide his excitement.
"Sir, would you rather stay in a hotel or stay in a hotel? The hotel has good rooms and good food and wine."
Zhang Ren smiled slightly and asked, "How to get out of the Wudang Sect?"
Only then did the store owner notice that Zhang Ren was carrying a long cloth bag, which looked like a weapon.
Although there are some rich people in the world, they are still a minority. Most of the knights who hang out in the world are poor.
Although Zhang Ren's temperament is quite good, the store owner also automatically classified Zhang Ren into the ranks of poor Jianghu people.
Much of his enthusiasm was gone.
He pointed outside the door and said casually: "There is a road up the mountain at the entrance of the town. You can just keep walking up there."
Zhang Ren nodded and then found a table that looked the cleanest and sat down.
"Let's serve the same food and drinks that the restaurant specializes in."
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "This shop does not accept credit. You pay the bill and I will serve you food and drinks."
This is the first time Zhang Ren has encountered someone doing business like this since he time traveled. He raised his eyebrows at the store owner and said, "What? Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't pay for meals?"
The shopkeeper shrugged, "It's hard to say. You people in the world always claim to be heroes, but you don't do any good things behind your back. I've seen this kind of people a lot. They just slap their butts and leave after eating. What a shame." Lisuo, I can't catch up at all."
Why do Jianghu people have this impression in the eyes of the people?
Zhang Ren had no choice but to slap a couple of pieces of silver on the table and said, "Is this enough?"
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up. Even if a customer came to his small shop, the business usually only cost a few copper coins. How had he ever seen a customer give money directly?
"Enough is enough."
The shopkeeper smiled and put away the money, then took the rag from his shoulder and wiped the table where Zhang Ren was sitting on.
"Please forgive me for my blindness. I didn't expect that the young master is a rich man. Please wait a moment. I will serve you some good wine and food right now."
After the store owner finished speaking, he ran to the back hall to prepare.
Zhang Ren didn't wait long before the store owner brought out a few side dishes and a small jar of wine.
Judging from the style of the food, it was just ordinary home-cooked food, which was incomparable to those restaurants in Jinling City.
But being in the arena, Zhang Ren couldn't choose anything.
He was really hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. However, before the chopsticks even touched the vegetables, he heard the sound of horses outside the palace.
Night rivers and lakes.
