Chapter 2: Apprentice to Wudang with a lot of money

Wudang Mountain in winter, wrapped in silver light, such as Qionglin Yushu falling for nine days. Snowflakes fall from the mountains, and walking in them is like walking in a fairyland. A little bit of blue lake dots the forest, such as white jade inlaid with blue beads, turning the entire Wudang Mountain into a jade carving. And the vermilion brick wall on the top of the mountain makes this jade carving even more agile and warm.

In such a white world, a group of more than 40 people walked in the mountains, adding a touch of vitality to this beautiful world.

"In winter, this Wudang Sect is like a flame in the ice and snow. There is no sense of tranquility and tranquility in other Taoist temples, but it is full of momentum to compete for the upper reaches, no wonder it will become a martial arts Taishan Beidou alongside Shaolin! ”

Looking up at the red buildings on the top of the mountain, Chen Quan sighed. It has been more than a year since he came to this world of Xiaoao Jianghu, and Chen Quan finally set foot on the mountain gate of one of the two most powerful sects in this world, the Wudang faction, a year later.

In the past year, Chen Quan has not only established a commercial house in Songjiang that specializes in selling luxury goods, called Zhenbaoge, but also established chain restaurants in several major cities in Daming. Not only did he earn a lot of money with a variety of delicious meals and unique services, but he also established a hidden intelligence network.

Such a lucrative business will naturally attract many people's eyes, and all kinds of open and secret robberies during the period are inevitable. But on the surface, Chen Quan relied on sending a lot of benefits to the emperor, the great eunuch and the local government, plus offering high-yield grain sweet potatoes, giving away salt drying technology and giving away fifty percent of the shares of the Treasure Pavilion, forming a huge interest group, and ordinary officials really didn't dare to take Chen Quan seriously.

Secretly calculating, hehe, Chen Quan is really not afraid. When business in the field is robbed, local officials will go crazy and hunt down the attackers. As for Chen Quan himself, the deaths of hundreds of people and the death of a thief who is said to be enough to tie with Yu Canghai, the head of Qingcheng, Chen Quan shocked the vast majority of people with red eyes under his two guns.

"Hehe, this little brother is wrong. The red walls and blue tiles of my Wudang faction represent the ambition of my Wudang faction, but the royal recognition of my Wudang faction. I don't know why the little brother came to my Wudang faction when the road was cold and slippery? ”

Before Chen Quan and his party arrived at the gate of Wudang Sect Mountain, a Taoist chief sat on a big stone on the side of the road and suddenly asked.

"Overseas businessman Chen Quan has seen this Taoist, can he be lucky enough to know the long way?"

This Taoist leader suddenly made a sound, startling Chen Quan and the others, and turned his head to look, it turned out that this guy had been sitting on the big stone next to him. It's just that he is dressed in gray and motionless, blending in with the trees and stones next to him, and it is easy to ignore.

"Poverty becomes high, it turns out that you are Chen Quan, a world-famous maritime merchant in this year."

As soon as he heard Chen Quan's self-introduction, Cheng Gaodao's eyes suddenly flashed.

Maritime Chen Quan, rich in the world! Offering overseas high-yield grain sweet potatoes with a yield of twenty or thirty stones per mu to the imperial court, and the matter of solving the hunger of the whole world spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, even the Chenggao Dao Chief, who did not go down the mountain much, had heard of his name.

What's more, Chen Quan has a very powerful repeating firearm, and with this secret weapon, he cut off the secret hand of a big faction more than three months ago.

Thinking back on Chen Quan's information, Cheng Gao suddenly raised his attention to Chen Quan to the top.

"It's down there!"

"Immeasurable light, I've seen Chen Jushi, it's rude! I don't know why the layman came to my Wudang faction? ”

Sweeping over the people carrying ten large boxes behind Chen An, Cheng Gao Dao Chang had a guess in his heart.

"Huh! Don't hide it from the Taoist, I'm here to apprentice! ”

Chen Quan bluntly stated his purpose.

came to this world of smiling and proud rivers and lakes in order to learn from a teacher. If you want to learn martial arts in an orthodox and systematic way, you can only worship the major sects, and the best choice is naturally the two strongest sects today: Shaolin Wudang.

Shaolin, Chen Quan has been. just entered the main hall of Shaolin, and somehow, there was a trace of disgust in the depths of Chen Quan's heart, an unforgettable disgust.

Chen Quan didn't know why this was happening, but this disgust couldn't be suppressed. Helpless, he could only put his target on Wudang.

"Apprentice! Hehe, my Wudang faction will not refuse a person of good fortune like Chen Jushi. Just forgive me for being blunt, you are a little old. Even if you worship my Wudang, I'm afraid the achievement will not be high. ”

Chen Quan is already twenty-three years old, and if people in the martial arts want to achieve something, they generally start to lay the foundation at the age of seven or eight, and when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, they will officially enter the house.

"I know! But it's good to be stronger! And maybe I'm a one-in-a-million martial arts wizard, even if I'm a little older, I can become a top master in a short period of time! ”

Chen Quan said confidently. It's just that his self-confidence, in the eyes of Cheng Gao Daochang, is obviously a wonderful self-feeling.

"Hehe, I hope it's true! However, whether to accept you or not has to be decided by the master. ”

Cheng Gao is not optimistic about Chen Quan's self-confidence, but he can't say it face to face. And although Cheng Gao thought that Chong Xuan would not refuse Chen Quan and the four big boxes behind him, after all, Chong Xuan needed to decide.

"Please also ask the Taoist chief for a recommendation!"

With Cheng Gao, Chen Quan entered Wudang very smoothly, and was directly led to the Zhenwu Palace, Cheng Gao instructed the two little Taoist priests to receive Chen Quan, and then go to the back to find his master and uncle. Looking at the Zhenwu Emperor enshrined in the main hall, although Chen Quan didn't have any special feelings of intimacy, he didn't have any bad feelings, and that was enough.

"Immeasurable light, Poor Dao Chongxu has seen Chen Jushi!"

Just as Chen An was looking at the statue of Emperor Zhenwu, three old Taoist priests and Cheng Gao walked in. And according to this, he greeted Chen Quan.

"The three Taoist leaders are polite!"

Seeing Chong Xuan come out in person, Chen Quan immediately returned the salute to the three of them.

"I heard Cheng Gao's nephew say that Chen Jushi wants to worship Wudang, I don't know if I can tell you, why do you want to practice martial arts? After all, as Cheng Gao said, the layman has missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts. ”

Chong asked solemnly. Although judging from the information obtained, Chen Quan would not be a spy sent by other sects, but Chong Xuan didn't want to accept anyone, especially a businessman. For the people of this era, businessmen are synonymous with valuing profit over righteousness.

"It's easy! Stay fit and protect yourself and your loved ones! As for the age below, as said below, there is no one in ten thousand martial arts wizards, even if you miss the best time to practice martial arts, it doesn't matter, you can check it if you don't believe in it! ”

Chen Quan didn't talk anything, and really said his thoughts.

"Hehe, the layman is honest and confident!"

Chong Xuan looked at Chen Quan with a strange face, and he really couldn't understand Chen Quan's directness and confidence.

"More than that! Richer under it! If the Taoist chief can agree to accept him as a disciple, then the 100,000 taels of silver will be the apprenticeship of the lower one. ”

At Chen Quan's signal, the ten guys who followed opened the ten boxes in turn, and suddenly a burst of silver light shone throughout the hall.

Hiss!

For a while, all the Wudang Sect people present, including Chong Xu, were extremely shocked. It's just that Chen Quan's next condition makes them uncontrollably hold their hearts.

"Moreover, after becoming a disciple of Wudang, all the income of my property in the future will be owned by Wudang!"

How huge is the industry owned by Chen Quan, not to mention the restaurant that is still expanding rapidly in more than ten cities in the Ming Dynasty, that is the Treasure Pavilion, which is said to have an annual income of more than three million taels, and only one million taels per year for the emperor.

Even if it is deducted from the emperor and the government, Chen Quan's income is more than one million taels, and then counting the income of the restaurant, Chen Quan's annual profit is more than two million taels. That is to say, as long as Chen Quan is accepted, then Wudang can get 200,000 taels every year.

200,000 taels!

You must know that the cost of raising soldiers in the Ming Dynasty was only one or two million taels per year.

Damn!

It's really fatal!

Chong Xuan forced his thumping heart, suppressed his greed with a strong will, and let his reason control his brain.

"It's too much, I can't afford it in Wudang! With these 100,000 taels, it's fine! Come, let the poor Dao see your qualifications! ”

200,000 taels a year, if Wudang dares to accept it, it will not only attract the jealousy of other factions, but I am afraid that the imperial court will have to target Wudang.

Although Wudang has a lot of influence in the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, he is not arrogant to the point of ignoring the imperial court like the Jingnian Zen Temple.

Dispelling distracting thoughts, Chong Xuan grabbed Chen Quan's wrist, and the internal force went straight into Chen Quan's body, instantly penetrating the meridians of Chen Quan's body, and Chong Xuan was shocked again.

Although Chen Quan is not the so-called all-in-one vein, nor is he the so-called innate body, the tenacity and breadth of his meridians and the capacity of his acupuncture points far exceed those of ordinary people, and they are even comparable to the second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes.

And more importantly, Chong Xuan felt a vigorous vitality in Chen Quan's body, which even the top masters did not have. At least Chongxu has never felt this kind of vitality in anyone, maybe the legendary innate master has such a vigorous vitality!

Under the surprise, Chong Xu's face smiled like walnuts. Immediately excitedly touched all the bones of Chen Quan's body, and once again confirmed that Chen Quan's bones were extremely tough, and he was definitely a martial arts wizard among tens of thousands.

"Okay, good, good---, from today onwards, you will be the only disciple of Lao Dao!"
