From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 462 Candidates

Watching Jiang Yao and Bingzai gradually walking away, Lao Sun and Xiao Song looked at each other and hurriedly followed them.

"Brother Yao, Brother Bing, if you two hadn't been here, I wouldn't know if I would still be alive after being harassed by that thing."

"It's just past ten o'clock now. It's just right. Let's go to the county town. I'll treat everyone to a midnight snack together."

"Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to thank you two!"

While helping Jiang Yao and Bingzai collect their fishing rods, Xiao Song invited them with sincerity.

Although he didn't have a golden finger, he didn't know what would happen to him after being entangled by that thing.

But not long ago, he had personally experienced the scene of running into the water in a daze.

If Jiang Yao and Bingzai had not intervened in this matter of the rag doll, perhaps he would have really stepped into the water and fallen headfirst, disappearing without a trace.

Until now, when he thinks back to what happened just now, he still feels terrified.

At this moment, he invited Jiang Yao and Bingzai to have a midnight snack, and it was truly sincere from the bottom of his heart.

As for the 500 yuan bet, the soldier had already put it back into his pocket.

As for Xiao Song, although he did guess that the rag doll he had just kicked into the water was fished out again by Jiang Yao, after such a weird thing happened, he just wanted to thank Jiang Yao and Bingzai and didn't even bother to mention the bet.

"Brother Yao, Brother Bing, I was indeed a bit presumptuous in wanting to learn skills from you."

"Your life-saving grace is greater than heaven. Xiao Song is treating us to a midnight snack. He is sincerely thanking you two."

"After something like this happened, we all have to go back. We definitely won't stay here and continue fishing."

"I know that both of you are capable people. We are just having a midnight snack. I hope you can give Xiao Song and me a chance so that we can toast you two!"

……

Following closely behind Xiao Song, Lao Sun also spoke up in agreement.

Before, he was an atheist and believed in science.

But now, after seeing the black fog with his own eyes, the rag doll that turned into a rotting baby corpse, and the scene where Jiang Yao casually waved a ball of red light to completely kill the ghost, his three views have been completely overturned.

Although Old Sun felt very sorry that he could not become Jiang Yao's apprentice and learn skills from him, he naturally did not want to let go of the opportunity if they could have a midnight snack together and bring himself and Jiang Yao closer.

"Xiao Song, I have received your gratitude!"

"As for midnight snacks, forget it."

"The entire Taoyuan County is only this small, and now that we all know each other, I really want to find an opportunity to get together. We'll have plenty of time in the future."

"Alright, that's it for now. It's time for Bingzai and I to go back!"

After packing up his fishing gear, Jiang Yao found an excuse and talked to Lao Sun and Xiao Song casually. He called out to Bingzai, and the two of them walked quickly along the rocky beach towards the river bank.

It is true that he helped Xiao Song, but in his opinion, it was just a coincidence.

After all, he and Bingzai appeared here because of the resentful baby that was entrenched here.

Thankfully, it was enough that Xiao Song had the intention. There was no need for him and Lao Sun to go out for a midnight snack.

After all, he is not short of money, and he is no longer on the same level as ordinary people. He has no interest in deepening his relationship with two people who are just acquaintances and have no relationship with him at all.

With quick steps, they disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

When they walked along the river bank to the road above, Jiang Yao and Bingzai saw the fishermen who had been scared and ran away before.

These guys still looked frightened as they ran all the way here. They stayed here, perhaps because they were reluctant to leave their fishing gear still in the river.

After learning from Jiang Yao that the problem had been solved and that the riverside was now safe, the few of them hesitated for a while, then timidly climbed back down the riverbank.

After putting away the fishing gear, Jiang Yao and Bingzai got back into the car. Amid the roar of the engine, the vehicle gradually moved away and soon disappeared.

Perhaps because the rumor about the haunted waters spread, the area under Linxi Bridge became much quieter for a while.

But people tend to forget things, and once the wound heals, they’ll soon forget the pain.

In just less than half a month, this stretch of water became noisy and lively again, both during the day and at night.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Jiang Yaobing and the others.

After dealing with the resentful baby lurking here, Jiang Yao would go fishing in the river at night occasionally, but not as frequently as before. When choosing fishing spots, he would not limit himself to the area near Linxi Bridge, but would run around randomly.

Garden Hotel, in the luxurious suite on the lowest floor.

"Mr. Zhu, why are you here?"

"I promised you that I would pass on the martial arts to the person you selected. It's such a small matter, but I still troubled you to come here in person. It's a sin!"

"With your status and position, if you show up here, the whole county will be honored by your arrival!"

After receiving a call from Fan Zhigang, Jiang Yao, who was waiting in the river and happened to catch a big carp, went ashore directly and drove all the way to the Garden Hotel.

If he relied on cheating to fish, he would definitely lose the fun of fishing. Nowadays, he would catch nothing at least eight times out of ten times he went to the river.

Jiang Yao relied on his real skills and finally caught a big carp weighing 40 to 50 kilograms. Today, he was extremely excited.

After parking the car in the parking lot of the Garden Hotel, he showed off by carrying the big fish on his shoulders and walked directly into the hotel.

As he walked along, he saw passers-by looking back, and he held his head high and chest out, just like a general returning from a victory.

But now, after seeing Mr. Zhu waiting for him in the hotel room, Jiang Yao, who was carrying a big carp on his shoulder, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Jiang, you came just in time, why bring any gifts?" Upon seeing Jiang Yao, Mr. Zhu, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up immediately.

He took a few steps forward and shook hands with Jiang Yao, smiling and teasing.

"It's all Fan Zhigang's fault. He didn't explain clearly when he called me."

"It's really rude of me to come to see you, Mr. Zhu, carrying a big fish."

"If I had known you were here, I would have taken a shower and cleaned myself up before coming here."

After glaring at Fan Zhigang who walked into the room with him, Jiang Yao put down the big fish on his shoulder and threw it directly into his arms.

"Leader, this..." Such a heavy fish fell into his hands that Fan Zhigang almost fell down. After he reacted and stood up, he looked at Mr. Zhu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"The gifts that Xiao Jiang brought must be packed up."

"Take it to the hotel kitchen. We'll have a fish feast tonight!" With a strange look on his face, Mr. Zhu joked at Fan Zhigang with a smile.

Given Mr. Zhu's status and position, if he appeared openly in the small county of Taoyuan, it would definitely be a big deal and elementary school students would line up to welcome him.

Jiang Yao entered the Garden Hotel. When he stepped onto this floor, he saw many serious-looking guards in black suits guarding various locations on the floor, but apart from this floor, he did not see anything unusual in other places in the hotel.

It seems that Mr. Zhu's appearance here is a secret visit. No one, let alone the county, even at the provincial and municipal levels, should know his itinerary.

Otherwise, the entire hotel where he stayed would probably be heavily guarded and protected. "Xiao Jiang, as soon as we met, you brought me such a big gift."

"Don't worry, I know what reciprocity means."

"It just so happens that I also brought you something, I hope you like it."

Inviting Jiang Yao to sit on the sofa in the living room, Mr. Zhu smiled and signaled with his eyes to the person next to him who looked like his secretary.

The next moment, the man took out several wooden boxes from the room and placed them respectfully on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Then he carefully and gently opened the wooden boxes.

There are three boxes, all of which contain ginseng. Judging from their age, they are definitely over a hundred years old.

Pointing at the ginsengs in the box, Elder Zhu looked kind and continued with a smile, "Knowing that you, Xiao Jiang, are interested in ginsengs that are over a hundred years old, I specially asked someone to collect some for you."

"It's a pity that in this day and age, wild ginseng of this age is too rare."

"With our capabilities, we can only help you collect three strains for now."

Back then, when Jiang Yao met Mr. Zhou by chance in Hong Kong, he asked him to help him collect wild ginseng that was more than a hundred years old.

It was also no secret that he had gone to northern Myanmar a few days ago just for two ginseng plants.

It is natural that those people in the upper echelons of the federation would find out that he likes these things.

"Mr. Zhu, these ginsengs you brought out are indeed useful to me."

"But I can't accept gifts without merit. I really can't afford such a precious gift."

"You'd better put these things away first!" Looking at the ginsengs in front of him, Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment. He finally spoke and politely declined.

After all, he knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

If someone else had this thing, he could buy it with money, or if he couldn't buy it, he could just rob it. But facing the upper echelons of the federation...

There is no doubt that accepting these ginsengs from Mr. Zhu requires him to owe him a favor.

The banknotes are printed by them. If you want to repay their favor, you must give something else. It is not something that can be solved with money.

"Willing to pass on the extremely precious martial arts heritage to the people we selected, in terms of contribution to the Federation, who can compare with you, Xiao Jiang?"

"It's just ginseng that's over a hundred years old. It may be very precious to ordinary people, but it's actually nothing to the Federation."

"After all, although this thing is rare, there are still some. To capture an electric car, we can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people. If necessary, we can mobilize a million people to help you collect ginseng. It's just a matter of a word."

"Since these ginsengs are useful to you, you can take them. Since I have already given them to you, I have never thought of taking them back."

With a kind smile on his face, Mr. Zhu gave earnest advice.

With the federal government's enforcement strength, Jiang Yao felt that they were truly capable of doing something like having millions of people help them find ginseng.

It would be fine if these people were just looking for it in the mountains, but Jiang Yao was worried that they would look for ginseng in other people's homes.

If something like this were to happen, even someone like him would shudder at the thought of the possible dire consequences.

"Mr. Zhu, we'll talk about the ginseng later!"

"Didn't Fan Zhigang tell me before that you have already selected all your people and asked me to come over and take a look to see which ones are suitable for inheriting the martial arts?"

"I'm already here, call those people over and let me take a look first!"

Jiang Yao did not continue talking about ginseng. He deliberately changed the subject and suggested to Mr. Zhu with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Zhu nodded, and waved to the secretary-like man standing respectfully beside him: "Xiao Zhang, let Xiao Li, Xiao Lin and the others come over!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Zhang nodded and walked out of the room.

In just a minute or two, he came back in with a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Pointing at the young man, Xiao Zhang introduced him, "His name is Li Yongning. He used to practice gymnastics. He has a strong receptive ability and excellent body flexibility. Even the most awkward movements can be mastered quickly after practicing a few times."

As he spoke, he signaled to Li Yongning with his eyes.

As the most luxurious suite in the Garden Hotel, the space in the living room is quite spacious. Li Yongning walks like a dragon and a tiger. The apparently awkward movements become smooth and flowing in his hands, giving people a pleasing feeling.

"This..." Jiang Yao frowned slightly.

The movements demonstrated by Li Yongning gave him a sense of familiarity. There seemed to be some unique charm of the Tiger Evil training contained in each move.

Although the Tiger Evil Training Form that cannot attract evil into the body cannot make people transcend the mundane world, it does have some body-refining effects.

Apart from Bingzai, only Master Zhou had ever learned a few moves from the Tiger Evil training form.

The old Zhou that Jiang Yao had met before was the father of this young master Zhou.

Judging from the movements demonstrated by Li Yongning, what Master Zhou learned from the Tiger Evil Training Form must have been passed on to his superiors intact.

Several months have passed since the end of the nuclear explosion experiment.

The reason why people like Li Yongning appeared in front of Jiang Yao only now was perhaps because they were receiving intensive training and practicing the set of moves he was demonstrating now.

As a major country with a population of more than one billion, the Federation must have talents in all aspects.

Based on the three or two moves that Master Zhou learned, the final improved set of movements, although not as good as the original Tiger Evil training, is still quite effective when used for body training.

Li Yongning in front of him practiced the movements very skillfully. Although his physical fitness has not yet reached the limit of the human body, it is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Xiao Jiang, what do you think of Li Yongning?"

"With his physical fitness, there shouldn't be any problem for him to inherit the martial arts!"

With a faint smile on his face, Mr. Zhu pointed at Li Yongning, who was standing quietly in front after completing a set of movements. He opened his mouth tentatively and asked Jiang Yao.

"He has good physical fitness, much stronger than ordinary people."

"If there is no one better than him, he can indeed pass on the martial arts!" After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yao nodded in response.

In the real world, there are three people who have inherited martial arts from him: Bingzai, Big Bear and Zheng Jifafa.

Li Yongning in front of him, if we only talk about physical fitness, neither Big Bear nor Zheng Jifa can compare with him. Only Bingzai, who has practiced Tiger Evil training for many years, can be stronger than him.

"Xiao Jiang, I'm glad you're satisfied!" Smiling, Mr. Zhu nodded and added, "With the power of a country, we have selected talents. Don't worry, there will be no bad ones!"

Xiao Zhang next to him took Li Yongning out, and after just a moment, he brought another person in.

Like Li Yongning, this man had also practiced the previous set of movements thoroughly, and his body was far superior to that of an average human being.

The candidates selected by Mr. Zhu and his team were brought in and out one by one. Soon, nearly an hour had passed.

"Mr. Zhu, if I remember correctly, this should be the twenty-sixth person, right?"

"I would like to ask, how many candidates have you selected?" Looking at the young man who was brought in by Xiao Zhang again, Jiang Yao was speechless and complained to Mr. Zhu.
