Yuan Chu's face was serious, and he was obviously angry in his heart: "White Crane, everyone understands the truth." Who doesn't know that the purpose of practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body and cultivate the mind. But how many can really do it?"

Ninety percent of martial artists, the purpose of practicing martial arts, is to eat together.

Walking the rivers and lakes is not for the sake of mixed food, but for what? When you don't worry about eating and drinking, you may pursue fame and fortune. Just like the powerhouses of the entire martial arts world back then, they all hoped to get the title of "No. 1 in the world".

Daoist Ziyang nodded, agreeing with Yuan Chu's statement.

There are indeed too few warriors who are indisputable with the world.

It is not easy for a warrior to survive. In addition to guarding the family, you can only join the army, and you can only go up to the mountains to be a bandit.

Now with a powerful firearm like a rifle, it is even more difficult for a warrior to survive, and perhaps he is not even a bandit.

Of course, this situation is for those ordinary martial artists. Martial arts grandmasters and grand masters will not worry about survival. But in a martial arts sect, the grandmaster and the great grandmaster are only a minority after all, and ordinary disciples still account for the vast majority. The Ziyang Daoist and the Yuan Chu Zhenren must consider the development of their own sect and the inheritance of martial arts.

The emergence of firearms is destined to decline in martial arts.

Daoist White Crane sneered: "Your request is really ridiculous, could it be that if you pull the White Lotus Sect to the same level as you, you will let General Chen Ji's factory and research institute be destroyed? Do you think it is possible? The world is developing, and if the White Lotus Sect does not develop firearms, the foreigners in Europe will also develop." In fact, the firearms of those foreigners are not much weaker than rifles. Why don't you stop those foreigners? ”

Ziyang Dao Chang and Yuan Chu Zhenren are too conservative to accept new things.

Yuan Chu and Ziyang glanced at each other, they knew that it was impossible for Daoist Baihe to change his mind and persuade Chen Ji.

The White Crane Daoist looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Why, if you can't achieve your goal, you can't do it?" To be honest, even if the two of you go together, the poor road may not be afraid. ”

The aura on the White Crane Dao Chief's body suddenly became extremely powerful. Daoist Ziyang and Yuan Chu Zhenren both felt depressed.

The faces of the two were solemn, and the martial arts cultivation of the White Crane Daoist exceeded their expectations.

Yuan Chuchu was shocked: "White Crane, this old thing is so powerful! With White Crane's martial arts cultivation, I join forces with Ziyang, and I am really not an opponent." ”

If the Pure Yang Nine Scrolls were completed, Yuan Chu might still dare to do it, but his Pure Yang Nine Scrolls had just started.

If the realm of the Great Grandmaster is divided into three stages, Yuan Chu and Ziyang are only the initial cultivation of the Great Grandmaster. The White Crane Daoist is in the middle stage of the Great Grandmaster.

"Everyone knows each other, and the poor road is as if you haven't been here today. Let's go. The White Crane Daoist said lightly.

Yuan Chu and Ziyang stood up, clasped their fists and said, "Farewell." ”

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Daoist Bai He secretly said in his heart: "The contradictions between Chen Ji and the martial arts world are irreconcilable. The next time we meet, it's time to fight. ”

Both sides are unwilling to make concessions, even if the gods come to coordinate, there is no way. The struggle can only end if one side completely falls.

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

Li Meng, as his name suggests, is tall and mighty, and extremely rugged. A few years ago, he entered the White Lotus Sect's maritime trading company, and he worked diligently, but now he has also become a small leader.

He was assigned to work in the Thai branch by the company's headquarters.

No one knew that Li Meng was actually a Manchu White Banner man, and he was a Manchu spy. However, it is hidden deeply.

In the past ten years, Li Meng has not delivered a single message to the Qing Dynasty, so he has not been exposed.

Even if the agents of the White Lotus Sect have great ability, as long as Li Meng does not take the initiative to show his head, it is impossible for them to dig Li Meng out. Because of Li Meng's apparent identity, he is extremely innocent and has no criminal record.

No one could have imagined that the honest man Li Meng was a full-term spy.

Spies like Li Meng were specially cultivated by the Manchus, and the Manchus did not reach the point of being a clear water general, so they would not be used. Maybe they'll lurk like this for the rest of their lives.

Li Meng has adapted to the life and work of the White Lotus Sect. Living here, although there are no clothed servants and maids to serve, let alone be as powerful as in the Qing Dynasty, but it is actually very good.

To be honest, Li Meng likes his current life very much.

Sometimes, Li Meng even forgot that he was a flag man.

It's a pity that one day is a spy, and a lifetime is a spy.

The roster of the Great Qing Dynasty has Li Meng's name, and no matter what, he can't get rid of his fate as a spy.

Li Meng thought that his life could go on like this forever. Unfortunately, it backfired, and the day before yesterday, the connector found him and gave him an order to find a way to get the formula for smokeless gunpowder.

Not only Li Meng, but spies like Li Meng, who were hidden in the deepest part of the White Lotus Sect, all received such orders.

The Qing Dynasty didn't care whether they had access to smokeless gunpowder or not, what the imperial court wanted was the result, and as for the process, Kangxi would not ask.

Rifles, even if there are no drawings, as long as you get a few, you can copy them. The most important thing is gunpowder.

The smokeless gunpowder of the White Lotus Sect was more than ten times more powerful than the power of black gunpowder. Only by obtaining the formula of smokeless gunpowder could the Qing Dynasty save the situation a little.

This is a joint decision of Shunzhi and Kangxi.

In any case, the Qing Dynasty had to get the recipe for smokeless gunpowder, even if all the spies became victims.

At the end of the day's work, Li Meng returned home with roast duck and liquor in his hand.

Eat a few bites of roast duck, and then drink a sip of white wine, happy.

Li Meng secretly said in his heart: "Let me get the formula for smokeless gunpowder? I don't know what the emperor thinks, I can't touch gunpowder at all." I'm just a small leader of the White Lotus Trading Company, and if I were asked to investigate how much money the company made and what the next shipment would be, I might be able to do it. But if I were to get the recipe for smokeless gunpowder, it would be impossible. ”

Ahem.

There was a coughing sound behind him.

Like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail, Li Meng suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Who?"

I saw a young man in his twenties sitting behind Li Meng, looking at him with a smile.

Li Meng's heart jumped, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "This is my house, how did you get in? Who are you? The White Lotus Sect has a law, and if you break into a private house, you will go to prison." ”

"This seat Chen Ji is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Chen Ji said with a smile, "It's really wrong to break into a private house, but you are working for the Manchu court, and you won't be protected by our laws." ”

Li Meng didn't expect that this young man was actually Chen Ji, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Li Meng pays a visit to the sect leader." I don't know what the sect leader's words mean, but my subordinates really can't understand it. ”

Chen Ji sneered: "Don't you understand? People like you, this seat has dug up a lot during this time. You are all directly responsible to the little emperor Kangxi, and you are really hidden deep enough in the White Lotus Sect. ”

"The way of sincerity can be prophetic. I may not be a prophet, but I can see through some falsehoods. The agents of the White Lotus Sect can't find you, because you are capable enough and cautious enough. But if you go out yourself, you will have nothing to hide. No one can hide under the nose of this seat. ”
