Chapter 324, the cause and effect of Shengping County!
Shengping County, this is where everything began, going around and around, Jiang Chen returned to the original point.
It's just that now, his strength is at the peak of this world, and his mood has changed a lot.
When he came back this time, Jiang Chen didn't mention it to anyone.
The city gate of Shengping County is not big, but it is spacious and thick, and in more than ten years, both sides of the city gate have also been replaced with green bricks, which looks calm and simple.
The stone carving ancient dragon pan is on both sides of the city gate, mighty and awe-inspiring, and it looks particularly majestic.
There are several more city gate towers on the city wall, the towers are tall, the eaves are warped, especially the huge stone lions on both sides, lifelike.
The morning dawns and the surroundings are filled with a fresh scent.
From a distance, on the lively streets, the old buildings composed of gray tiled houses are still standing after the wind and rain.
Bright sunlight shines through the heavy branches, and dappled light and shadow dot the moss-covered stone path.
In the distance, rows of mulberry trees and white silkworm trees are condescending, and on the eaves of the green tiles and tiles, there are still remnants of last night's dewdrops.
Long willow branches swayed slightly in the breeze, and the catkins drifted down.
There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city, and the soldiers defending the city did not ask too much about the people entering the city.
Jiang Chen slowly walked into the city gate, the road was blue-gray stone slabs, clean and spacious.
The bustling bazaar is bustling with people, and vendors carrying burdens shouting as they walk.
On both sides of the street, the men of the silk shop, the medicine shop, the grocery store, the incense powder shop, etc., showed their magical powers, shouting and selling.
All kinds of fancy snacks attract many children to stop, and their saliva is about to flow.
In front of the teahouse restaurant, jugglers, broken boulders, fire-breathing, deadly darts and other programs provoked many passers-by to stop and watch and applaud.
I have to say that Shengping County has more fireworks and market gas than Guangming City.
The people here are simple, and although the streets are not large, they are also clean and tidy.
Jiang Chen was dressed in purple and had a tall posture, which attracted the attention of many people.
There were many beautiful women with veils covering their faces from time to time casting curious glances at Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't care in the slightest.
He walked down the street, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
"Lao Wang still has two brushes, and Shengping County is well managed by him."
As far as the eye can see, the whole street is bustling and lively, and there are young patrols from time to time to maintain order.
It was early in the morning, and the plaques hanging in front of the rows of breakfast shops had faded a little.
But you can still vaguely see the words "fat cake", "tofu flower", "Yangchun noodles", "steamed buns" and so on, which are mouth-watering.
Jiang Chen slowly came to a breakfast shop, it was early in the morning, and there were not many people coming.
As soon as he came to the shop, Xiao Er greeted him respectfully and warmly.
"Guest officer, if you want to eat something, just take a look." Xiao Er greeted him, quickly wiped the tabletop, and greeted him with a smile.
"A bowl of Yangchun noodles, two baskets of xiaolongbao, and ten more buns for me." Jiang Chen sat down and said with a smile.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." Xiao Er responded with a smile.
Jiang Chen looked at the breakfast shop in front of him, and a little reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
It was here that he met Ling'er and her father, but more than ten years have passed, and Ling'er has grown into a big girl.
"Life is like a white horse, it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, if I have never stepped into the cultivation, I am afraid that I don't know which girl is cheaper now."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, just as Xiao Er smiled and sent Yangchun noodles, xiaolongbao and buns, and put a big table full of them.
"Guest officer, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
He picked up the wooden chopsticks on the table, and he didn't dislike it, with his current physique, even if he ate poison raw, it would be fine.
The small xiaolongbao, the delicious juice brews in the transparent and delicate flesh.
Jiang Chen took a bite, it was steaming, and the juice burst in his mouth.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this breakfast, and after leaving the money, Jiang Chen walked straight down the street by himself.
After a while, he came to a large-scale martial arts hall.
On the left and right sides of the gate of the martial arts hall stands a huge stone lion, male on the left and female on the right, carved extremely exquisitely.
Mighty and vigorous, it makes people feel like a real lion coming to life.
On the black gate, there is a plaque depicting gold edges, carved with four vigorous and powerful characters of the Black Iron Martial Arts Hall, majestic and magnificent.
From time to time, there were still shouts and fights during martial arts training within the tall courtyard walls.
More than ten years have passed, and the Black Iron Martial Arts Hall is still standing, and it has faintly become the first martial arts hall in Shengping, and there is an endless stream of people who come to learn martial arts.
A few familiar figures appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, and he smiled.
"Since you're here, let's go and see the old people." Jiang Chen smiled and stepped forward.
"Did this boy come to our Black Iron Martial Arts Pavilion to learn martial arts?" A young man from the martial arts hall at the door found Jiang Chen, and enthusiasm immediately appeared on his face.
He was tall and burly, with a strong and strong physique, and his muscles were tanned by the sun and glowed with a healthy glow.
"You are in the right place, our martial arts hall is famous far and wide, and the strength of the Zhao Pavilion Master is extremely strong, and in recent years, there have also been many students of the Condensing Sect Master."
The martial arts hall disciple introduced with a proud face, "I'll take you into the martial arts hall first, and Childe, please come in with me." ”
"Then it's troublesome." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile and followed the young man into the door.
At this time, it is early morning, the so-called plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.
The hour was still early, but there were also hundreds of people gathered in the martial arts hall square, and under the leadership of the leading masters, they practiced boxing together.
These apprentices are in a standardized and orderly manner, and the scene is quite spectacular.
The training equipment around the square is complete, sandbags, lead blocks, plum blossom piles, wooden stakes, stone locks, dummies, etc.
Jiang Chen listened to the young man's enthusiastic introduction and nodded constantly.
"Old Zhang?!" At this moment, Jiang Chen noticed a familiar figure.
It was a gray-haired old man, who sat on a chair in the pavilion in the middle of the square.
He was smoking a dry cigarette in his hand, and although his hair was gray, he was full of red light and his body was strong, and he was not lost to the young man at all.
The young man also noticed Jiang Chen's gaze, and hurriedly said: "Childe, that is Zhang Lao from our martial arts hall, but he doesn't teach boxing anymore, if you want to learn boxing, then I'll take you to the other masters in front." ”
"No, I know Mr. Zhang, and I happened to go over to catch up with him." Jiang Chen said.
"Childe don't joke with Zaixia, Zhang Lao likes to be quiet, and he has a hot temper, so he won't easily meet guests."
The swarthy young man obviously didn't believe that Jiang Chen knew Zhang Lao, and showed a look of embarrassment.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen quietly stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels into the young man's hand.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, you just say I'm Jiang Chen."
"Childe, I'm afraid this is not good......" The young man glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
"I'm a principled person, and I ask my son to take back this money."
"It's okay, principles have a price." Jiang Chen waved his hand and stuffed five more sheets.
The swarthy young man accepted it quietly, and his face immediately turned into a smile.
"Childe, please wait here, I'll go and tell the elders." Jiang Chen nodded and looked around calmly.
In the distance, a swarthy young man came up behind the elder, his face extremely respectful.
"Elder Zhang, there is a young man who said he knows you and wants to see you." The young man spoke softly.
"Xiao Liu, it's not my old man who said you, you don't practice martial arts well, and your mind is always on other things, which is not good."
"As a martial artist, you must practice without distractions, and perseverance can make gains."
"I always recommend others to do something for the old man, go quickly, the old man doesn't want to accept apprentices now." Zhang Lao's temper skyrocketed.
More than ten years ago, since a patrolman named Jiang Chen knocked him down with one punch, he has never taught anyone again.
The young man named Xiao Liu hesitated, and whispered again: "Elder, he said that his name is Jiang Chen. ”
"It's useless to call Jiang anything, let him ......" Zhang Lao looked impatient, and then a white light appeared in his mind, and his whole body was shocked.
"Huh? Wait a minute! Jiang Chen?!!! He stood up at once and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Liu's collar.
"Take me to the young man!!"
The young Xiao Liu He once saw Zhang Lao lose his temper like this, "Zhang Lao let go of me first, and I will take you to see him immediately!" ”
"Lead the way!"
Zhang Lao put down the dry tobacco in his hand, with an urgent expression, the young Xiao Liu did not dare to carry it, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
"Look at what you see, practice boxing well."
Many people around the square couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene, but they were scolded by Zhang Lao, and they didn't dare to be distracted to practice boxing.
"Jiang, Jiang Chen, it's really you." Soon the elder saw Jiang Chen, and his cloudy eyes couldn't help but reveal a fine light.
"Elder Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." Seeing Zhang Lao, Jiang Chen solemnly saluted.
More than ten years ago, he learned Tiger Fist in the old man in front of him, and Tiger Fist can be said to be a great help on his cultivation path.
In the past, he was young and vigorous, and he inevitably had no one to look at, but now that time flies, he also came to visit Zhang Lao when he returned to the old land, in order to thank him for his grace in teaching boxing.
Zhang Lao didn't wait to see Jiang Chen at first, thinking that he was distracted by his martial arts practice, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Jiang Chen.
It can be said that this is a past that Zhang Lao does not want to mention, but he also has to admit it.
Jiang Chen's talent is outstanding, and he is definitely a once-in-a-century martial arts wizard!
The young man in front of him has become even more unfathomable, and the years have not left a trace on him.
Zhang Lao showed a pleased smile.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
This scene also made many people secretly curious about Jiang Chen's identity and origin, which could make Zhang Lao so out of shape.
It didn't take long for Jiang Chen to come to the lobby of the martial arts hall.
A woman with a tall single ponytail rushed to hear the news, her figure was slim, and her figure was fully exposed in a slim white dress.
"Zhao Lin!" After Jiang Chen saw the visitor, his eyes lit up slightly.
Zhao Lin's face was full of joy, more than ten years of time made her fade away from immaturity, although she was still a virgin, she became more beautiful and moving.
The Miaoman woman of the year, but there was a trace of vicissitudes, like a woman.
"When did you come back? I haven't heard from you since I heard that you went to the City of Light! ”
After so many years, Zhao Lin's character is still the same, innocent and lively.
For Zhao Lin, Jiang Chen had an indescribable emotion in his heart, although he did not have a deep memory of Zhao Lin, he would not forget it.
In a person's life, there will always be people who like themselves, and there will be people who like themselves, Zhao Lin was such a woman back then!
"Come back and do something, I'm going to leave in a while." Jiang Chen smiled knowingly.
When the old people met, Zhao Lin's words also increased, until half a day later, Jiang Chen also left the Black Iron Martial Arts Hall.
A soft smile appeared on Zhao Lin's face, she raised her head and took a deep look at Jiang Chen's departing figure, as if she wanted to keep this figure firmly in her heart.
The back is very bleak, revealing a lonely loneliness.
Zhao Lin sighed in his heart, and he didn't know which woman could enter his heart.
Jiang Chen can stop himself from liking others, but he can't stop this woman from liking him more than ten years ago.
can't stop the other party's intention that has always existed until this moment.
Jiang Chen sighed, so after leaving some enlightenment for Zhao Lin and Zhao Lao, he chose to leave.
A person will meet many people in his life, at least Jiang Chen has never met the woman who makes him desperate.
In the middle of the day, the sun shines on the streets, but it doesn't make people feel stuffy.
In the county mansion, in a spacious room, Wang Er sat on the table and carefully checked the official documents.
More than ten years have passed, and the years have left a lot of traces on him.
He is dressed in a green shirt, has a big belly, and lives like a middle-aged old man.
At this time, a man in purple appeared in front of him, and this man was Jiang Chen.
"Lao Wang, it's not bad." Jiang Chen made a rare teasing.
Wang Er was frightened by Jiang Chen's cold and unguarded voice, and hurriedly raised his head with a vigilant expression.
"Who is it?!"
But after he saw Jiang Chen's face, he hurriedly walked to Jiang Chen, with relief and surprise at the corners of his eyebrows.
Lao Wang held Jiang Chen's hand tightly, after many years of absence, he was extremely happy to meet again at this moment.
There was surging emotion in my heart, and I couldn't speak for a while.
"Lao Wang, you know, I don't like men." Jiang Chen gave Wang Er a look of his own understanding.
"You kid finally appeared, I thought you were dead!" After a while, Wang Er finally calmed down the excitement in his heart and gave Jiang Chen a punch.
"Hey, hey, I can't pretend I can't hear that." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No, you kid must invite me to drink, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return."
Lao Wang showed a wicked smile, quickly changed into civilian clothes, and pulled Jiang Chen to Mingcui Building quickly.
I opened the most expensive private room and ordered a large table full of wine and food.
"More than ten years ago, we were also drunk!" Jiang Chen looked at Wang Er, his eyes showing reminiscence.
"Of course I remember, after that drunkenness, I sent you to Widow Wang's house, but I didn't expect Widow Wang to be so angry." Wang Er drank wine and laughed.
In the past, scenes surfaced in the hearts of the two, and Wang Er didn't ask Jiang Chen everything.
The friendship between the two is still the same as before, and it has not become estranged with the passage of time!
"Lao Wang, you may not know, I am very powerful now, by the way, if you have any wishes, Uncle Ben will satisfy you one by one." Jiang Chen patted Lao Wang's shoulder.
"Is it so powerful? I'm going to have to talk about it! Lao Wang laughed, thinking that Jiang Chen was guilty of playing with him.
"I'm listening." Jiang Chen took a sip of wine, and his tone was extremely arrogant.
"I want to have endless energy in my dreams, you know, when people are middle-aged, they can't be old if they don't accept old age." Lao Wang squeezed his brows and smiled evilly.
"Which man stands tall and the golden gun is undefeated!" Lao Wang's eyes were shining, and he was yearning.
"Little things, are there any more?" Jiang Chen waved his hand and motioned for Wang Er to continue.
"I still want to spend endless money, in the future, Lao Tzu will buy two buns, eat one and throw it away." Wang Er's face was arrogant.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Chen laughed, saying the same as the real thing.
"Lao Wang, do you want to live forever?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Boy Jiang, if I had to choose, I would definitely not choose immortality!" Lao Wang is extremely determined.
Jiang Chen asked, "Why?" ”
"At first glance, you are a bachelor, life has no end, and time has no meaning!"
"Now that I have a wife and children, what can I do with immortality, I definitely don't want to watch the people around me grow old, watch my wife and children die, watch my relatives and friends disappear, and finally only myself is left!"
Jiang Chen's eyes froze, thoughtful.
“……”
This night, Wang Er vented all the grievances of more than ten years, and he was completely drunk.
Jiang Chen looked at his friend in front of him and showed a heartfelt smile.
"When you wake up, everything will be fine......"
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen showed a satisfied smile and walked out of the restaurant, but there were a lot of obsessions and cause and effect, and his mood changed a lot.
He looked at the sky, his eyes showing a strong anticipation, he was going to find the path to immortality.
The so-called immortality is to let yourself live longer, make yourself stronger, and make your life more carefree, and no one can control it!
Jiang Chen left Shengping County and lived quietly, and no one knew.
The next day, in a noble and luxurious private room in Mingcui Building, an unbelievable scream came out.
"What's the matter, I can do it again!!"
Lao Wang was surprised, he couldn't know more about his body, but now this body seemed to be reborn, which gave him a kind of endless energy!
It's as if I'm back to twenty years old and staying at the top of my game forever!
"Huh? What is it? He was about to stand up when a gray bag fell from his bosom.
He picked it up suspiciously, only to feel that the strap in his hand was intimately related to himself.
Wang Er's face was shocked, and then he stretched into the ash bag, and this stretch suddenly made his heart roar!
"The title deed of Mingcui Building! Tens of thousands of silver tickets worth 10,000 taels! There are countless elixirs!! ”
"Ah, what the hell is going on?!!" He was shocked and had no idea what was going on.
"Could it be Jiang Boy?!!!" In an instant, he immediately remembered what Jiang Chen had said yesterday.
He immediately understood that all this was done by Jiang Chen!
"Boy Jiang came to say goodbye to me last night! It seems that he is doing well, so I can rest assured. Thinking of this, Wang Er showed a relieved smile.
