The seller of the heavens

After dealing with the matters of the White Lotus Sect, it was already noon.

Jiang Chen left the chaotic Chaotian Temple, found a restaurant for dinner, and started selling pearls.

After going to several pawn shops and jewelry stores, Jiang Chen returned to the inn after exchanging pearls for nearly 100,000 taels of silver.

During the period, there were also two pawnshops who had the idea of ​​making money. After the transaction was completed, they sent people to follow Jiang Chen and prepare to kill and steal the goods. Jiang Chen found out, and then took care of it.

At the same time, what happened outside the sky watch also spread throughout the entire provincial capital at an extremely fast speed, causing huge waves.

After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the people's grievances boiled over, and the White Lotus Sect also snowballed in strength. The momentum was extremely alarming, destroying foreign things and killing foreigners everywhere, causing the governor a headache.

The governor also sent the admiral Nalan Yuanshu to lead the army to suppress it. As a result, more and more people from the White Lotus Sect were suppressed, and their power became stronger and stronger. Correspondingly, Nalan Yuanshu's soldiers and horses fought less and less, and the government spent a lot of money but had no effect.

In the end, the two sides could only stalemate.

The White Lotus Sect can be said to be a powerful force second only to the government in the provincial capital. It has a large number of believers and is extremely united. However, it fell apart in such a short period of time and became a street rat. This kind of thing naturally aroused the attention of various forces. concern, sent someone to investigate the whole story.

Afterwards, the name Jiang Chen entered the attention of all parties.

It can be said that Jiang Chen became famous in the first battle, stepping on the Jiugong Daoist and the White Lotus Sect, and became famous.

The conflict between him and the White Lotus Sect has also become the hottest topic among the people in the provincial capital.

I don't know how many people have made up their minds after knowing it. When the Xinghuo martial arts branch opens, they will go to apprentice and learn Jiang Chen's peerless martial arts, making them invincible.

...

night.

The inn room is elegantly decorated.

A lamp is like a bean.

Jiang Chen sat on the head of the bed, slowly flipping through a thick book of secrets.

This is the White Lotus Sect technique found in Chaotianguan. It contains everything and contains a variety of martial arts, including boxing, horizontal training, and weapons. It even includes several tricks and methods of making incense and smoke.

It can be described as a must-have secret for keeping fit and killing people.

Jiang Chen first looked at the horizontal exercises in it.

Jiugong Zhenren's horizontal practice kung fu is very profound, in Jiang Chen's view, it is only slightly inferior to Yan Zhendong's, and the horizontal practice kung fu he cultivated seems to have some merits.

There is no name for this horizontal practice method, and it is called the secret method of Bailian horizontal practice in the book.

Jiang Chen read it carefully, thinking about deduction while reading.

After reading it, think about it.

Different from Yan Zhendong's horizontal training iron shirt, the white lotus sect's horizontal training secret method not only polishes the membranes and muscles, but also adds a part of the content of divine strikes.

Combining horizontal exercises and psychological hints can improve the body's ability to resist blows, reduce body sensitivity, and reduce pain.

Cooperating with religious brainwashing, the effect is remarkable. For ordinary people, the threshold is low and the effect is quick.

Of course, while the advantages are great, the disadvantages are also obvious. Once the belief is shattered and the heart is shaken, the kung fu will fail.

For Jiang Chen, although this method of cultivation cannot be fully absorbed, there are still things that can be used for reference.

If he could absorb the essence of it, his horizontal kung fu would probably improve a little bit.

...

the next day.

Jiang Chen contacted the tooth shop and began to choose a house suitable for opening a martial arts gym.

It took half a day to look at several houses, and finally bought an old general's mansion.

This general's mansion has an extremely large area, and there is also a school ground for the disciples to practice martial arts. With a little renovation, it is not a problem to accommodate two or three thousand people, which is very suitable for Jiang Chen's needs.

After paying and completing the transaction, Jiang Chen returned to the inn and wrote a letter to Foshan Xinghuo Martial Arts, asking Yan Zhendong to send dozens of them over first.

After all these people have arrived and tidied up the general's mansion, they will open a branch hall and start recruiting disciples, otherwise he will not be able to do it alone.

The day passed quickly.

Turn around, morning.

When Jiang Chen was eating morning tea in the lobby of the inn, an official came into the inn, came to the counter, and asked the shopkeeper:

"Is that Jiang Chen who defeated the White Lotus Sect in the store?"

"Here I am."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied: "Neng, it's over there."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to the direction where Jiang Chen was sitting.

The official almost nodded, turned around and came to Jiang Chen's side, and asked with a rather respectful attitude:

"Your Excellency is Jiang Chen from Xinghuo Martial Arts Academy, Master Jiang?"

"it's me."

Jiang Chen stopped the action of eating, a little strange how an official sent him to find him.

The official said politely:

"My admiral, please, Master Jiang, please follow me to the Yamen."

Jiang Chen thought to himself: The admiral in Guangzhou should be Nalan Yuanshu, but he doesn't know why the other party is looking for him.

He was a little vigilant in his heart, and said calmly:

"Okay, let's go."

At the moment, he got up and followed the official to the government office.

Entering the yamen and coming to the lobby, I saw a young man sitting at the top, wearing an official uniform and a flower feather on his top. , it is the Admiral Nalan Yuanshu.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and cupped his fists:

"I've seen Lord Admiral, but I don't know why Lord Admiral is looking for me?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, Nalan Yuanshu did not put on airs. After looking Jiang Chen up and down, he raised his hand and signaled:

"Don't worry, just sit down and talk."

Jiang Chen sat down as he said.

Then Nalan Yuanshu said gently:

"In the past two days, I have often heard people talk about your heroic deeds, but today I saw you, you are indeed young and promising, with extraordinary appearance.

I am looking for you this time, mainly because I want to get to know the young hero who can defeat Jiu Gong. "

"My lord, the admiral, praised you."

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't believe that the other party came to him just to get to know him, it was as simple as that.

This Nalan Yuanshu must have other purposes, but he was not in a hurry to ask if the other party didn't say anything.

As a military officer, Nalan Yuanshu acted swiftly and resolutely, and he was not good at making rounds. After a polite sentence, he immediately got down to business:

"Speaking of which, I should also thank you.

The White Lotus Sect massacres foreigners, creates chaos everywhere, and stirs up conflicts between countries and the imperial court. This is a serious concern for this official. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands by accident.

If you hadn't defeated the Nine Palaces and shaken the minds of those believers, I don't know how much time and effort it would have taken me to destroy the White Lotus Sect. "

Jiang Chen said calmly:

"Jiang, a certain martial artist, heard that the Nine Palaces have magical powers to protect the body, so he saw that Lie Xinxi went to challenge and learn from each other.

I didn't expect what happened after that. "

"No matter what the reason is for you to challenge the Nine Palaces, it is a fact that the White Lotus Sect was destroyed because of you."

Nalan Yuan narrated, and suddenly proposed:

"You have astonishing martial arts at such a young age, which is really rare. As the saying goes, you can learn martial arts in the emperor's family. Do you intend to serve the court?

If you are willing to work with me, I can recommend you to be a general first. With your martial arts in the future, it will not be difficult to make achievements and seal your wife and son. "

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, he didn't expect Nalan Yuanshu to recruit himself to serve the Qing court.

He is someone who intends to rebel, how could he give his life to the Qing court.

Even if he is a traitor who travels through, he probably won't join the Qing court at this time. After all, the wrecked ship of the Qing court is about to sink.

Going on board at this time is no different from joining the Kuomintang in 1949.
