Chapter 185: Ao worships and burns Shaolin Temple

Ao Bai shot again and came to Songshan Shaolin Temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, now the Shaolin Temple has already been emptied, and the martial arts secrets and scriptures of the Scripture Pavilion have all been transported away.

"Damn. Ao Bai said angrily, "These monks of Shaolin Temple are clever, and before this seat came, they first made a turtle with a shrunken head and hid it." Hmph, you can run a monk, you can't run the temple, and today this seat burned the Shaolin Temple!"

Ao Bai set fire to the Shaolin Temple, so that this thousand-year-old ancient temple was destroyed.

Leaving Songshan, Ao Bai found the Manchu spies: "Check this seat, you must find out where those monks from Shaolin Temple went." Also, the remnants of the Quanzhen Sect and the Wudang Sect should not be let go, and if there is news, notify this seat immediately. ”

The spy nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, there are our people all over the Qing Dynasty now, unless those martial arts masters hide in the deep mountains and old forests and don't come out." Otherwise, sooner or later we will find out. ”

It is impossible for people to live in seclusion. Even if it is the Shaolin Temple, every month you have to go down the mountain to purchase necessary daily necessities. As long as those people in the martial arts world come into contact with the merchants in the town, they will definitely show flaws.

Ao Bai did not go to Wutai Mountain and Longhu Mountain again. The monks of Shaolin Temple have all hidden, and the other martial arts masters are afraid that they have also abandoned the mountain gate. Even if it was in the past, it didn't make much sense.

Ao Bai looked angry: "These guys in the martial arts world are really damned, they would rather live in hiding in Tibet than submit to my Qing Dynasty, it is simply unreasonable." ”

........................

Zhang Mingyue handed over a piece of information to Chen Ji: "Xianggong, as we expected, Ao Bai made another move." This time it's the Shaolin Temple. However, there was no one left in the Shaolin Temple, and Ao Bai burned down the temple. ”

Chen Ji said: "Unexpected, reasonable. Ao Bai went to the Shaolin Temple, but he didn't see anyone, how could he not be angry? There is nothing strange about burning the Shaolin Temple. ”

The Manchu Tartars, since entering the customs, have only destroyed, not created. Chen Ji looked down on them very much. With brutal force, even if it rules a large territory, it is only a slave society.

To say that the Manchus were slavery may be a bit too extreme and inappropriate. But to say that the Manchu court was a semi-feudal and semi-slave society, no one objected.

"The Shaolin Temple was burned, should we do something?" asked Zhang Mingyue.

Chen Ji thought for a moment and said, "Mingyue, you and I will go to the capital." Ao Bai is not a way to kill like this. The masters of the major sects are afraid that they will soon react and kill the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I'll go talk to Da Yu'er and Emperor Shunzhi. Perhaps, there are unexpected gains. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay." Since Xianggong has this intention, then I will accompany you on a trip. ”

Zhang Mingyue vaguely guessed what Chen Ji was going to do in the capital.

Chen Ji did not directly ask the intelligence officers of the White Lotus Sect to go to the palace to deliver the message.

Back then, Wang Xu went to deliver a message to Dolgon, and the situation was different from now, because at that time, there was only one innate martial artist in the White Crane Dao, and Ao Bai and Dolgon were afraid and could only be human with their tails between their legs.

Now Ao Bai has become a great master, his eyes are above the top, and he belongs to the guy who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. If the intelligence officers of the White Lotus Sect appeared in the palace again, they would definitely die.

You need to find a middleman. Chen Ji thought of Liu Rus.

Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue came to Nanjing and met Chen Zilong.

According to the trajectory of history, Chen Zilong should have committed suicide by throwing himself into the water a few years ago to save his name. But because of the appearance of Chen Ji, history has undergone some changes, resulting in Chen Zilong still alive and well.

"Sect Leader Chen, Mrs. Chen, Zilong is really happy to see you. Chen Zilong said with a smile.

Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue are not young, over thirty years old, but their appearance is still in their twenties. This is the benefit of martial arts cultivation to a high level.

Martial arts masters, because of their internal strength, age slower than ordinary people. A great master like Chen Ji began to understand the mysteries of the body, and the cells aged even more slowly. In a few decades, Chen Ji may still be a teenager.

Chen Zilong is very old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are still bright, not as cloudy as an old man.

Chen Zilong, as the leader of the Restoration Society in the late Ming Dynasty, was influential and always opposed to the Qing Dynasty, and is still wanted by the Manchu court.

"Mr. Zilong, hello. Chen Ji clenched his fists slightly.

Chen Zilong said, "Sect Master, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The three of them came to find a tavern.

Chen Ji ordered a few dishes and a jar of wine.

Chen Zilong picked up chopsticks and ate the food, looking at his appearance, he was afraid that he was very hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days.

Chen Ji shook his head secretly, Chen Zilong is a great talent, and he actually mixed up to this level of despair. These are troubled times.

After Chen Zilong was full, he said, "Let the sect leader smile, I haven't eaten for a day and a night." ”

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "It's okay." If Mr. Zilong has anything to say, just say it directly. If I can help, I won't shirk it. ”

Chen Zilong said: "Sect Master, there are some anti-Qing righteous people under my command, more than 800 people. Now we are very difficult and in urgent need of funds, I know that the White Lotus Sect has been thriving over the years, and the business is doing a lot of business, I hope that the sect leader can see the face of us all Han and help us. ”

The Manchu Qing had ruled Jiangnan for five or six years, and Chen Zilong was still resisting. Although he only gathered more than 800 people, for the Manchu court, it was simply a mantis arm as a car, but his spirit is worthy of admiration. At least a hundred times stronger than those traitors who descended from the wind and betrayed their ancestors.

Chen Ji glanced at Zhang Mingyue and nodded to her.

Zhang Mingyue took out all the silver tickets, as well as dozens of taels of silver.

Chen Ji pushed all the money down in front of Chen Zilong: "Mr. Zilong, we don't have much money on us, more than three thousand taels, I hope we can solve your urgent needs." However, Mr. Zilong, I still have to remind you in the end, you don't have enough support from the people, you don't have a clear political program, you are anti-Qing because you are anti-Qing, you may have your reasons for doing so, but those righteous people under your command can't see hope. After a long time, even if they are not killed by the Manchus and do not starve to death, they will be tired and tired. ”

The people are illiterate, have no long-term vision, and as long as there is a stutter, they will silently endure oppression.

As long as they can live, who will rebel?

High-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes have been introduced to China, and the climate will gradually improve. As long as the wind and rain are good, you can have a good harvest. There will be no war, almost no one will starve. In another ten or twenty years, those civil officials will kneel and lick the emperor's toes and boast of the "prosperous era of Kangxi".

Chen Ji is not optimistic about Chen Zilong, it is impossible for them to succeed.

Chen Ji has traded with Western colonists over the years and earned a huge amount of wealth, plus there are tens of millions of people under his command, even so, Chen Ji does not dare to say that he can overthrow the Manchu Qing, let alone Chen Zilong.

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "I know what the sect leader said makes sense. But I Chen Zilong is a Ming person, I am different from Mr. Mu Zhai, I can't stand wearing a horse coat and having a long pig's tail braid. ”

Chen Zilong put the silver ticket and silver into his arms, bowed slightly to Chen Ji, and walked out of the tavern.

Zhang Mingyue looked at Chen Zilong's back and said, "He is a backbone reader." ”

Chen Ji nodded and said, "Yes, it does have backbone." It is a pity that he can only be a writer, not a politician and a military strategist. Let's go, go straight to Qianfu. ”

........................

When Liu Ru saw Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue again, she burst into tears.

Liu Ru wiped the tears from her face and said, "Chen Ji, I didn't expect to see you again." ”

Chen Ji said: "There is something that needs Sister Liu's help, so I came." The qigong book I gave you back then, are you still practicing?"

Liu Ru nodded and said, "Practice, of course practice." I practice for an hour every day. For more than 10 years, my body has been very good, and I have not even had a cold. When my daughter is older, I will pass on Qigong to her. ”

Chen Ji smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Liu Ru asked his subordinates to serve tea.

Chen Ji took a sip of tea and said: "Aobai kills people everywhere, and some time ago, he burned down the Shaolin Temple. The Manchu court is not a way to go on like this, I hope to talk to Da Yuer and Emperor Shunzhi face to face. Sister Liu, I hope you can send my handwritten letter to the capital and let Mr. Mu Zhai pass it on to Emperor Shunzhi. ”

Liu said, "No problem. I can send my subordinates out today and rush to Nanjing with letters. ”

"Prepare the pen and ink. Chen Ji said.

Liu Ru brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Zhang Mingyue personally sharpened the ink.

Chen Ji's calligraphy skills are not good, even if it is a talented word, it is better than him. But Chen Ji's control of strength is not comparable to those who read.

The words written by Chen Ji contain his spirit, which cannot be faked.

After writing the letter, Liu Ru hurriedly asked people to send it to the capital, explaining that it must be handed over to Qian Qianyi in person.

Originally, it was possible to use flying pigeons to transmit messages, but it was safer to use people to transmit information. I believe that within a month, Qian Qianyi will be able to receive the letter.

"Sister Liu, take care, and our husband and wife will leave. Chen Ji clenched his fist slightly at Liu Ru.

..................

During this time, in addition to practicing martial arts and handling teaching affairs, Zhu Cihong almost ran to Wang Jiang for the rest of the time.

Wang Jiang is also a grandmaster.

He became a martial arts master relatively late, and only broke through half a year ago. Now that there are many grandmasters of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Jiang is not so important.

Wang Jiang is also practicing with the White Crane Dao Chief.

"Uncle Shi, I'm here. Zhu Cihong said to Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang nodded and pointed to the bamboo bench in the courtyard: "Sit down." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have been running to me all this time, what is the matter, let's talk. Wang Jiang glanced at Zhu Cihong.

In fact, Wang Jiang had already guessed Zhu Cihong's intentions, but he didn't break it.

Zhu Cihong said: "Uncle Shi, you are a master in the Jinyi Guard, I want to ask you for help to reorganize the Jinyi Guard." ”

Wang Jiang frowned and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the intelligence agency under your master's command is even more powerful than the Jinyi Guard back then. The Manchu spies suffered a lot under their hands. If you want to know any information, depending on your status, you can directly call on the personnel of the intelligence agency. If you reorganize Jinyiwei, there will be no need for that. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Uncle Shi, the intelligence agency, after all, is the power in the hands of the master, although I am the young master of the White Lotus Sect, I am still not qualified to investigate many core secrets." His father was forced to death by Li Zicheng, and the country was stolen by the Manchus. As the prince of Daming, it is my mission to restore the Ming Dynasty. I need my own strength. ”

"Master and Mrs. are already planning to have children. Once a junior brother or junior sister is born, my status in the White Lotus Sect will be difficult to guarantee. I am now a master of five bird plays, and Tianyan swordsmanship has already been introduced. I can memorize the Pure Yang Nine Scrolls and Innate Gong. Master rarely mentions my martial arts and swordsmanship anymore. For the future, I had to plan ahead. ”

Chen Ji is not afraid of the strong martial arts of his disciples, but he is afraid that they will not have enough talent and hard work.

Those various classics and secret methods of internal strength in the secret room, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao can read them at will, as long as they don't pass them out indiscriminately. As for how much they can learn, it depends on their own ability.

The disciple keeps a hand.

Chen Jiwei never had such an idea.

The master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual.

When the White Crane Daoist taught Chen Ji's martial arts swordsmanship, it was the same, and when he reached the realm of the grandmaster, he explored and practiced by himself.

Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao, and Chen Xin are all groping for cultivation now. Chen Ji and Daoist Baihe rarely mentioned them, and as for Zhang Mingyue, they didn't even teach them martial arts again. Because Zhu Cihong's martial arts are no longer under Zhang Mingyue.

Zhu Cihong's worries are not superfluous.

If Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue have children, they will definitely put more energy and time on their children in the future. It's human nature.

Wang Jiang was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he did not betray the Ming Dynasty when the commander of Jinyiwei framed him like that. Zhu Cihong is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Jiang still hopes that he can restore the country and rebuild the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that with Zhu Cihong's martial arts and strength, is it possible to restore the country?

"Do you want to set up your own door?" Wang Jiang asked, "Do you know that your master is doing this?"

Zhu Cihong said: "I haven't told Master about this yet. However, I think Master will definitely agree. Because Master said that as long as I, Zhu Cihong, do not deceive my teacher and destroy my ancestors, I can do whatever I feel is right. The foundation of the White Lotus Sect should be left to the junior brother or junior sister in the future. I, as a senior brother, can't rob them of their things. ”

Wang Jiang's eyes changed for a while, and it was obvious that his heart was struggling. After a cup of tea, Wang Jiang made up his mind and said, "Write a letter to your master, as long as he agrees with you to set up your own door, Zuo Li and I will come over to help you." ”

Zhu Cihong said happily: "Thank you, uncle." I'll go back and write to Master now. ”

As soon as Zhu Cihong left, the White Crane Daoist appeared by Wang Jiang's side.

Wang Jiang stood up and said respectfully, "I've seen Master." ”

Daoist Baihe looked at Zhu Cihong's back and said, "The prince has grown up. Chen Ji is when it's time to let go. Wang Jiang, you have served Daming for half your life, and now you are going to set up a Jinyi guard for Zhu Cihong. The path is yours to choose, and you won't regret it in the future. ”

Wang Jiang said: "Master, the disciple doesn't read much, and he doesn't understand those big truths. I only know that if you do things according to your own heart, even if you fail in the future, your disciples will not regret it. ”
