After some speculation, Cao Zhe became interested.
With his current strength, he can conquer the world, and there is no longer any need to be taboo.
Even if thousands of troops and horses surround him, he can still be in a deserted place.
Now that he had an idea, Cao Zhe made an immediate decision and prepared to leave for Jinling.
Of course...he didn't come to Beijing under an imperial edict. That would be too eye-catching and a bit humble. He could go wherever he wanted, so why should he be summoned by someone?
After summoning all his disciples, Cao Zhe was sitting on the big bluestone. Not far away was the Taoist temple under construction. The wealthy people at the foot of the mountain were paying for it. It was a lively scene.
Cao Zhe did not insist on promoting the emergence of Wudang Sect, but when he preached here, some things came into being naturally.
"I want to go down to the mountain and teach you martial arts. Don't be ashamed of yourself. If there are people who want to learn, let them learn as long as they are not criminals. Whether it is martial arts or Taoist scriptures, they are all learners. The more we have, the broader the road ahead will be." Cao Zhe said.
All the disciples nodded in agreement.
Cao Zhe took a glance and did not find Zhang Liusun among the disciples.
Only then did I remember that this old Taoist had returned to Longhu Mountain. When he came back, he should have brought back many unique copies of the Taoist scriptures taught secretly by Longhu Mountain.
"Have you found the old Taoist I asked you to look for?" Cao Zhe asked again.
Cao Zhe, who has fully recovered his "self", still thinks about his "crazy" behavior in the past six months and feels it is magical. The old Taoist who led him to Taoism has always been in Cao Zhe's heart.
Perhaps it was by chance, in a unique environment, that I heard such chanting and came to my own realization, entering a state of mystery and mystery. It was not the enlightenment of others, but a coincidence.
But... maybe not.
All the Taoists shook their heads, and one of them spoke as a representative: "Master, there are a total of 375 hermits up and down Wudang Mountain. Among them, 122 are from serious Taoist backgrounds, and the rest are all with aspiration. A lay practitioner of the Tao. The old Taoist the real person is looking for may not be a permanent resident of Wudang, but is just traveling through it."
"We have conveyed the real person's decree to the believers at the foot of the mountain. If anyone has seen this old Taoist, they will definitely go up the mountain to report it."
Cao Zhe shook his head: "As long as you can't find it!"
"Okay, you guys are practicing hard, I'll go too!"
After saying that, he jumped off the cliff and flew towards the river beach in the distance.
This ability to control the air and ride the wind cannot be said to be Qinggong... not many people believe it.
Standing on the riverside, Cao Zhe's eyes were like a torch. In the blink of an eye, he found a small boat with a broken bottom and abandoned in the mud. Over time, it was tattered by water and insects.
However, Cao Zhe slapped it with a palm and pushed it into the river again.
The boat was swaying and about to sink. Cao Zhe stepped on the bow of the boat, but he just managed to maintain its balance.
The boat stopped sinking, and then under Cao Zhe's force, the boat that penetrated the bottom quickly streaked across the river like an arrow from a string.
The fisherman saw a Taoist man passing by in a boat in the middle of the river. He was about to say hello, but at a glance he saw the old boat under his feet, which was so old that it was about to fall apart, and the cabin that was completely penetrated. He trembled in fright, and then He hurriedly knelt down on the board of the boat and kept kowtowing.
Cao Zhe rode the wind to control the air, used the wind as his force, followed the current, and steered the small broken ship very fast.
The ride was so fast that it felt like driving a speedboat on the river.
Breaking through the water waves, he sailed in the boat. The boat was so fast that it covered a thousand miles in one day.
From the Han River to the Yangtze River, he did not rest for a day and a night. By early morning, Cao Zhe had already taken a boat to Jinling Pier.
Workers at the dock are carrying packages of goods from the cargo ship.
Some simple steam trains have been put into use at the docks, carrying large amounts of goods along the railway tracks to various warehouses.
Looking towards Jinling City from the pier, some tall buildings are already standing in the clouds and mist. The tall buildings made of steel and cement are like giants overlooking all living things in this era.
After getting off the passenger ship, the outsiders who had also come to Jinling for the first time looked at the towering 'monster' and made a sound of exclamation.
I am full of curiosity and expectation for this city that is still in thick fog and dreamland, and has not fully awakened.
Cao Zhe stood on the bow of the boat, and the boat that penetrated the bottom slowly docked and sank little by little.
By the time he completely jumped onto the shore, the boat had completed its mission and was scattered into pieces of wood, some of which sank to the bottom of the water, and some of which drifted away with the waves.
"You're so lucky... A boat like this can still make it to shore. Where did you come from?" A passing dock worker asked Cao Zhe. His tone of voice did not sound like he had been there all year round. People who work as coolies are only in the capital! It's not easy to live in Da Da, and it's hard for outsiders to find jobs. Working at the dock for the time being is a decent start.
"Wudang Mountain!" Cao Zhe responded with a smile.
"Eh... then there must be a lot of roads! Don't lie to me, Master Taoist." the dock worker said, thinking that Cao Zhe was joking with him.
Cao Zhe stepped on the solid ground without explaining, and then entered Jinling City all the way.
Jinling City in the Dayue Dynasty only had ancient city walls and no new city walls built later.
Even at the gate of the ancient city wall, there will be no checkpoints. Instead, the gate will be widened and part of the wall will be demolished.
This caused the entire city to expand outwards, gradually spreading into a behemoth.
Likewise, it seems to have completely 'sacrificed' the city's 'protection', showing the confidence of a dynasty.
I am confident that there will be no enemies and I can capture all the way to Jinling City.
"The rise and fall of the country in the six dynasties, three cups are your songs. There is little Qin land in the garden, and there are many mountains like Luoyang. It is indeed a good place with outstanding people, but Zuo, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is not very long. Guo Jing chose this place as his imperial capital. I'm afraid there is a risk of setting up a flag!" Cao Zhe thought to himself.
"Taoist! Taoist!" A shout came from behind Cao Zhe.
The person calling Cao Zhe was the worker I had seen on the dock before.
But I saw him running very fast, and when he was ten meters away, he fell to his knees and kowtowed.
At the same time, he was holding a rusty ship nail in his hand.
"Disciple Li Zhong, today I can see the true face of the real person. I beg the real person to help this disciple get out of this sea of suffering in this mortal world." The dock worker kowtowed and shouted.
This commotion also attracted many passers-by who came out for activities in the morning and looked for breakfast.
Passers-by looked at Li Zhong and Cao Zhe who were kneeling and pointed.
Cao Zhe laughed and said: "I don't know what it means!"
Then he walked quickly towards the city.
He seemed to be taking a leisurely step, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only Li Zhong knelt there, looking at Cao Zhe who had disappeared, feeling lost.
"I'm just an ordinary martial artist. I'm still wallowing in a sea of misery. How can I save others?" Cao Zhe was thinking at this moment.
Then he thought of Huang Xiang, whom he hadn't seen for half a year.
"I wonder if she hugged Guo Jing's lap and became the princess of the Dayue Dynasty." Cao Zhe thought again.
Before Cao Zhe had enough time to appreciate the beauty of Dayue Dynasty's capital, a group of police officers armed with muskets and wearing police uniforms came to surround Cao Zhe. Regardless of anything else, they aimed their guns at Cao Zhe and blocked all directions.
"That Taoist! Are you a member of the martial arts world? Do you have a martial arts certificate issued by the Zhenshan Division? What sect and origin? Report it immediately, otherwise you will be arrested immediately and thrown into prison."
