Chapter 213: Assassination Failure
Daoist Bai He said with a smile: "Chen Ji, those great masters in the martial arts world, although they are not politicians, they still have a vision of the overall situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you lead the White Lotus Sect, and the ultimate goal is to overthrow the Manchu court and let the Han people be the masters of the house. This would have been a good thing, but your Minglun Hall made the martial arts world feel fearful. ”
The White Crane Taoist doesn't care about anything, and his status and mood are very detached. In addition, what he has cultivated is the true qi of the water attribute, and his heart is like stopping water.
Because of this, the Hakutsuru Taoist stood from the perspective of a bystander and saw the essence of the matter more clearly.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty banned weapons, and it could not be banned.
Even if the Shanmen Dojo of the Martial Arts Sect is destroyed, it is impossible to really break the inheritance. Just like the Quanzhen Sect and Wudang Mountain, the mountain gate was breached, and Aobai couldn't kill all the people, and there were always fish that slipped through the net.
The people of the Quanzhen Sect and the Wudang Sect are dormant, and when they have the opportunity, or after the appearance of a great grandmaster, they will definitely come out of the mountain again.
But the White Lotus Sect's Minglun Hall is different. It was a huge educational institution where students could not only study, but also practice martial arts. In the future, there will be a steady stream of strong people in the Minglun Hall, even strong grandmasters.
The martial arts sect recruits dozens or hundreds of genius disciples from the people every year. Only in this way can the inheritance of the sect get fresh blood, and the martial arts culture can be inherited.
However, once the White Lotus Sect really overthrew the Manchu court, the Minglun Hall spread all over China, and the children of the common people wanted to study and practice martial arts, and they could directly enter the Minglun Hall, where did they still need to go to the martial arts sect to practice?
You can practice at home, so why go to a martial arts sect? No one wants to be far from home.
Worship the martial arts sect, there is no choice, and when there is a better choice, the children will definitely choose Minglun Hall.
In doing so, Chen Ji and the White Lotus Sect were simply drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle and breaking the foundation for the development of the martial arts sect. If it goes on like this, not to mention ordinary sects, even thousand-year-old sects like Wutai Mountain and Longhu Mountain are very dangerous, and there is a possibility of cutting off the inheritance.
Hundreds of years later, who in the world will still know about Wutai Mountain and Longhu Mountain? I am afraid that they will only find the records of their sects in books.
Monk Yuanjue has always said that Chen Ji is changing the pattern of today's martial arts world because he sees the future development trend. Therefore, the monk Yuanjue would rather cooperate with the Manchu court than let Chen Ji and the White Lotus Sect succeed.
After all, the monk Yuanjue regarded the inheritance within the sect as more important than anything else.
What the White Crane Daoist said, Chen Ji naturally understood. But he still had to do it.
"Master, do you think what I did was right or wrong?" asked Chen Ji lightly.
The White Crane Taoist did not speak, right and wrong, always relative. It depends on what kind of position you stand on.
From the standpoint of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Ji is a big devil, and the White Lotus Sect is the Demon Sect. From the standpoint of the White Lotus Sect, the Manchus were aliens, Tartars, and executioners who slaughtered the Han Chinese.
The same is true in the martial arts world.
Monk Yuanjue came to stop the White Lotus Sect, and even joined forces to kill Chen Ji. Chen Ji didn't feel strange at all, but he was unwilling. I have done so many things for the White Lotus Sect, for the Han people, and even for the martial arts world.
Yuanjue monks, they still have to go against themselves.
"Hmph. Chen Jileng snorted, "The tide of history is mighty, those who go along will prosper, and those who go against it will die." The Manchu Qing Dynasty and the martial arts world still want to play foolish people, and I can't agree to it. If we Han people want to stand on top of the world, we can only open up the wisdom of the people, so that all Han people have the opportunity to study and practice martial arts. As for the attitude of the Manchu court and the martial arts world, I will not scruple at all. Monk Yuanjue, if they want to fight against me, they are looking for death, and I can give them a ride. ”
Daoist Baihe felt that Chen Ji had done the right thing, after all, the lives of the people under the command of the White Lotus Sect were much happier than those of the people in the Qing Dynasty.
"Then you have to be careful. "The Manchu Qing Dynasty and the martial arts world will not let you continue to grow and develop, and even foreigners and Indians will participate in this struggle." Those great grandmasters have killed you not once or twice. ”
Chen Ji said: "Master, don't worry, I am now a pure yang achievement, and I have completely controlled the fire attribute true qi, even if the 'Sword Immortal' Lu Dongbin was not much stronger than me back then." If there is no opponent with the same skill as me, three or five great grandmasters will come together, and I will not be afraid. ”
Chen Ji's current martial arts can be attacked and defended. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Daoist Baihe nodded and said, "Your martial arts are above the teacher." It's up to you to decide what to do. If you really can't do it, Poor Dao will help you. ”
"Thank you, Master. Chen Ji said with a smile.
........................
At night, Chen Ji was lying on the bed in a moon-white middle coat, and Zhang Mingyue was lying beside him.
"Mingyue, let's go to Hainan Island together tomorrow. Chen Ji said suddenly.
Zhang Mingyue nodded, she handed over almost all the work in her hand to her henchmen, and since then she has concentrated on martial arts cultivation. Wherever Chen Ji goes, she can go.
"Whether you are stationed on Hainan Island, or go and inspect it. Zhang Mingyue asked.
Chen Ji said: "Of course, it is a permanent residence. There are Chen Xin and Zhu Yujiao on Hainan Island, and I am not worried, but in order to prevent the Manchu Qing Dynasty from counterattacking, I must prevent them from coming around. Now the Manchu court is not only worshipping a great master, but also the Shunzhi Emperor. ”
Hainan Island was the bridgehead for the White Lotus Sect to counterattack the Manchus, and Chen Ji hoped to build it into a large base that could not be destroyed by them.
Zhang Mingyue said with a smile: "That's okay." I heard that the scenery of Hainan Island is good, and it is good to go there to live for a while. On the island of Taiwan, surrounded by the sea, it is indeed a bit monotonous. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Mingyue talked about Zhu Cihong.
"Xianggong, have you paid attention to your good apprentice Zhu Cihong and Zheng Sen during this time? Zhang Mingyue's eyes became sharp, gritting her silver teeth, and she looked angry.
Chen Ji was stunned, he really hadn't paid attention to Zhu Cihong recently.
Zhu Cihong and Zheng Chenggong bought a lot of weapons in the White Lotus Sect, haven't they completely recovered Fujian? Could it be that there are other things?
"What happened to Zhu Cihong again?" Chen Ji asked.
Zhang Mingyue sneered: "You are a good apprentice, you are bent on digging your wall." He sent people from the Heaven and Earth Society to guard the gates of each Minglun Hall, and as long as the students were out of school, they would go to win over those seedlings with good martial arts. Zhu Cihong, as the former prince of the Ming Dynasty, under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, really let him poach a lot of talents. ”
"In a short period of time, there are more than 500 students in Minglun Hall, who are willing to follow the Heaven and Earth Society. Xianggong, Zhu Cihong is a bit excessive. When he first left, we gave him silver, and let him take a lot of elites with him in the barracks, and now he has come to Minglun Hall to recruit people. What kind of place is Minglun Hall when he is it, and is it the talent training base of Zhu Cihong? ”
The talents of Minglun Hall, in Zhang Mingyue's opinion, are all from the White Lotus Sect.
If it weren't for Zhu Cihong's identity as a disciple of Chen Jiqin, she would have done it a long time ago. How can you be polite to him?
Chen Ji was silent for a while, and said, "Mingyue, you dissipate your anger first." Things are not as bad as you think. Our Minglun Hall is only responsible for cultivating talents, so that children can learn martial arts and knowledge, as for where they go to work and make a living after leaving Minglun Hall, we don't care. As long as they don't become traitors, I, the sect leader, can't go against their will and let them do what they don't want to do. They are willing to go to work under Zhu Cihong, and it is not a big deal. ”
Minglun Hall is like a university for later generations. Now that the White Lotus Sect is in short supply of talents, those students are out of Minglun Hall, and Chen Ji can arrange positions and jobs for them. However, one day, the talents cultivated by Mingluntang will need to find their own way.
Zhang Mingyue glared at Chen Ji fiercely.
Chen Ji's statement obviously made her very dissatisfied.
Chen Ji said: "Mingyue, it's better to be sparse than blocked. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and we can't keep those who are willing to follow Zhu Cihong. If we want to retain talents, we need to show more sincerity and even provide a better working and living environment. ”
Zhu Cihong, the former crown prince of the dynasty, under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, occupied the righteousness. No matter how Chen Ji fights, he can't compete with him.
Sometimes, identity doesn't matter. But sometimes, identity is very important.
is like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, who has nothing. But relying on the identity of "Queen Jing of Zhongshan", he became the uncle of the Han Dynasty and made Liu Bei one of the three overlords.
Chen Ji saw that Zhang Mingyue didn't understand, so he could only say: "Okay." In a few days, I will write a letter in person to question Zhu Cihong. ”
Zhang Mingyue's face softened at this time.
........................
Toshihide Ito was wearing a black ninja suit, with only his eyes exposed. When he was in Japan, Toshihide Ito knew about Chen Ji's name, but when he arrived in the Qing Dynasty and after careful investigation, he realized that he had seriously underestimated Chen Ji's strength.
Chen Ji, as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, with his martial arts and swordsmanship, his ability to overwhelm the Qing Dynasty and the entire martial arts world, such a strength can be called terrifying.
Seeing is believing, but hearing is false. But Toshihide Ito also believes that there is no vanity under fame.
Chen Jineng Yuanjue monk and they jointly encircled and suppressed to survive, and found an opportunity to kill Kuroki Jiro. With such a record alone, it is not something that Toshihide Ito can compare.
"According to the information I have received, Chen Ji will go to Hainan Island tomorrow. Toshihide Ito said secretly in his heart, "If you want to assassinate, you can only do it halfway." ”
Toshihide Ito knew that Chen Ji's spiritual cultivation was profound, and he had already surpassed the level of clear insight.
The way of sincerity can be known in advance.
Chen Ji may not have reached the level of sincerity, but he has a little taste.
Therefore, it is very important not to let Chen Ji feel the murderous aura.
Toshihide Ito, as the best ninja in Japan, has a secret method to deal with strong people with advanced spiritual cultivation.
Toshihide Ito studied spiritual training. I know that once the soul is cultivated to a high and deep level, it will have incredible abilities. However, Toshihide Ito has a way of avoiding the enemy's psychic perception.
At the time of assassination, Toshihide Ito's heart will not have the slightest murderous aura, and his mood will be adjusted to a very wonderful realm.
Hibernation, assassination!
Not only is there no murderous aura in my heart, but there is also a faint joy. It's like the feeling of a farmer who sees a good harvest when he harvests the farmer.
Mood can change a person's temperament. It can even deceive the perception of the Grand Master.
After all, the perception of the Great Grandmaster is passive. Because only when there is a threat to the Great Grandmaster, or if there is a murderous aura, can the Great Grandmaster's mind be perceived. Without the killing intent in Ito's heart, it would be difficult for Chen Ji to perceive his existence.
Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue came to Hainan Island on a merchant ship, and they took three retinues and rode a carriage on the official road.
Chen Ji looked at the surrounding environment and secretly said in his heart that the geographical location of Hainan Island is indeed unique and very suitable for human habitation. Rice cultivation is better than in the hinterland. It's a pity that the Manchu court didn't know how to use it, and only regarded this treasure land as a place of exile for prisoners, which was simply a tyrannical thing.
When the carriage came to a valley, Chen Ji's heart moved slightly, as if some danger was lurking. But then it disappeared without a trace. Chen Ji sensed it carefully, and there was no danger.
Chen Ji sat in the carriage and frowned slightly: "Strange, I obviously sensed danger, but why did this feeling disappear all of a sudden? Could it be my delusion." ”
Zhang Mingyue noticed Chen Ji's strange appearance and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "Nothing." I just sensed the danger, but it was only for a moment, maybe it was my delusion. ”
Illusion?
Chen Ji doesn't believe that his perception can be delusional.
Martial arts cultivation and spiritual realm have reached the level of Chen Ji, and the perception is absolutely infallible.
Chen Ji could no longer sense the danger, but the vigilance in his heart did not relax in the slightest.
Chen Ji secretly said in his heart: "Ao Bai and Yuanjue, they can't avoid my perception, can there really be someone who can avoid my perception? If there is really such a person, I am very interested in seeing it." ”
The carriage continued at a constant pace.
Right now.
Toshihide Ito, who had been dormant in the shadows for a long time, suddenly burst out, his katana turned blood-red with the blessing of true qi, and at the same time, the tip of the sword became sharper.
There was no sonic boom, no shaky vibrations, not even the sound of a katana piercing the air.
Toshihide Ito's assassination, like a ghost, was silent.
Chen Ji suddenly felt a feeling of palpitations, and the protective qi on his body exploded, protecting Zhang Mingyue.
This assassin is too weird. Chen Ji cannot be allowed to be sloppy.
Boom.
The carriage was destroyed by Chen Ji's anger.
Chen Ji saw a master in a black ninja suit five meters away, holding a katana and stabbing like himself. It's extremely fast.
His knife, his eyes, did not have the slightest murderous intent. Not only that, but he looked at Chen Ji's eyes, with gentleness and kindness, and Chen Ji suddenly felt a chill.
"Look for death!"
Chen Ji's sword aura popped out and collided with Toshihide Ito's katana. Toshihide Ito sighed in his heart, the assassination failed, Chen Ji's vigilance was too strong, and he didn't give himself the slightest chance at all.
Ito Toshihide used the power of Chen Ji's sword qi to retreat, and his figure flickered a few times before disappearing.
Chen Ji used his body technique to the extreme, chased more than 100 meters, and did not find Toshihide Ito, so he had to give up. He couldn't stay too far away from Zhang Mingyue, for fear that the other party would kill him.
Chen Ji secretly said in his heart: "Japanese ninjas? I didn't expect that there are hidden ninjas in the Japanese ninja village. It's interesting, it's really interesting. It seems that the Japanese cultivation world is not as weak as I thought. ”
