Chapter 42: A broken ship enters Jinling (monthly ticket costs 200 extra!)
After some speculation, Cao Zhe became interested.
With his current strength, the world is worthy of being able to go, so there is no need to be too much to be afraid of.
Even if he uses thousands of troops to surround him, he can be as if he has entered a state of no one.
Since he had an idea, Cao Zhe immediately made a decision and prepared to set off for Jinling.
Of course... It wasn't that he had entered the capital by the imperial edict, which was too eye-catching and seemed a little humble. He could go wherever he wanted, so why should he be summoned by someone?
A group of disciples were summoned. Cao Zhe was sitting on the big bluestone at this moment. Not far away was the Taoist temple hall under construction. The one who paid for the money was a wealthy family at the foot of the mountain, and the scene was full of enthusiasm.
Cao Zhe did not insist on promoting the emergence of the Wudang Sect, but when he preached here, something naturally came into being.
"I want to go down the mountain to pass on your martial arts. There is no need to lose your own knowledge. Some people want to learn it. As long as they are not a traitor, they will let them learn it. Whether it is martial arts or Taoist scriptures, the more people you learn, the broader the future will be." Cao Zhe said.
The disciples nodded and said yes.
Cao Zhe glanced at him and did not find Zhang Liusun among the disciples.
Then I remembered that the old Taoist returned to Longhu Mountain. When I came back, I would probably bring back many secret Taoist scriptures from Longhu Mountain secrets.
"Did you find the old man I asked you to look for?" Cao Zhe asked again.
Cao Zhe, who had completely recovered his "self", still recalled the "crazy" actions he had done in the past six months, and he also felt magical. The old Taoist who led him into the Tao made Cao Zhe always think about it.
Perhaps by chance, when I heard such chanting in a unique environment, I felt enlightened and entered a mysterious state. It was not a way of enlightenment by others, but just a coincidence.
But maybe not.
The Taoist people shook their heads one after another, and one of them said as a representative: "Report to the Zhenren, there are 375 hidden practitioners on the Wudang Mountain, including 122 of them from a serious Taoist background. The rest are all lay Buddhists who are interested in Taoism. The old Taoist people are looking for may not be staying in Wudang forever, but just traveling."
"We have already passed on the real edict to believers at the foot of the mountain. If anyone has seen this old master, he will definitely go up the mountain to report."
Cao Zhe shook his head: "It's just that I can't find it!"
"Okay, you are practicing hard, I'll go!"
After saying that, he jumped, jumped off the cliff, and flew across the sky towards the distant beach.
Such ability to control qi and ride the wind is not just a light skill... There are really not many people who believe in it.
Standing by the river, Cao Zhe looked like a torch, and in the blink of an eye, he found a small boat that had broken the bottom of the ship and had been abandoned in the mud. After a long time, water eroded insects and chewed it, and it was so ragged.
Cao Zhe slapped it out with a palm and pushed it into the river again.
The boat was shaking and was about to sink, but Cao Zhe stepped on the bow of the boat, but it just maintained its balance.
The boat stopped sinking, and then under Cao Zhe's force, the boat that was penetrated quickly passed by like an arrow from the string.
The fisherman was fishing. He saw a Taoist passing by in the middle of the river. He was about to say hello, but he saw the small boat under his feet that was so worn out and the cabin that was completely covered. He was so scared that he shivered. Then he hurriedly knelt on the board and kept kowtowing.
Cao Zhe rides the wind to control the air, draws the wind as a force, adapts to the water flow, and drives the small broken ship very quickly.
The wind and lightning were running all the way, and it seemed like a speedboat was driving on the river.
Break through the waves of water and drive a boat. The boat is so fast that it can be thousands of miles in one day.
He turned from the Han River to the Yangtze River and did not rest for a day and night. By the early morning, Cao Zhe had already taken a boat to Jinling Wharf.
Workers at the dock are carrying bags of goods from the cargo ship.
Some simple steam trains have been put into use at the docks, carrying a large amount of cargo and heading to warehouses along the rails.
Looking from the wharf to Jinling City, some tall buildings have already stood in the clouds and fog. The tall buildings made of steel and cement are like giants overlooking the vast crowd in this era.
Walking down from the passenger ship, outsiders who also came to Jinling for the first time, looked at the towering "monster" and made a marvelous sound.
I am full of curiosity and expectation for this city that is still in the thick fog and dreams and has not completely awakened.
Cao Zhe stood at the bow of the boat, and the small boat passing through the bottom slowly landed on the dock, sinking little by little.
By the time he jumped to the shore completely, the boat also fulfilled its mission, dispersed into pieces of wood slag, some sinking to the bottom of the water, and some leaving with the waves.
"You are so lucky... Such a boat can still last until it reaches ashore. Where did you come from?" A passing dock worker asked Cao Zhe. He didn't look like a man who worked as a hard worker all year round, but it's in the capital! It's not easy to live in a big place, and it's hard for outsiders to find a job. Working at the dock for the time being is a decent beginning.
"Wudang Mountain!" Cao Zhe responded with a smile.
"Huh... There must be a lot of roads! Taoist priest, don't lie to me." The dock worker said, just pretending that Cao Zhe was joking with him.
Cao Zhe stepped on the ground without explaining, and then entered Jinling City.
The Jinling City in the Dayue Dynasty only had an ancient city wall, but no new city wall built later.
Even the gate of the ancient city wall will not be equipped with checkpoints. Instead, the city gates are widened and some of the city walls are demolished.
This has caused the entire urban area to expand outward and gradually spread into a behemoth.
Similarly, it seems that the city's "protection" is completely 'sacrificing', showing the confidence of a dynasty.
Confidently, there will be no enemies and will be able to capture Jinling City all the way.
"The rise and fall of the country in the sixth dynasty, three cups are your song. The garden is small in Qin, and the mountains are many like Luoyang. It is indeed a good place with outstanding people and beautiful land. However, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was not long. Guo Jing chose this place as the imperial capital, and there was a risk of establishing a flag!" Cao Zhe thought to himself.
"Master Taoist!Master Taoist!" A shout came from behind Cao Zhe.
The one who called Cao Zhe was the worker I had seen on the dock before.
But he saw him running fast, and he slid down from a distance of ten meters and knocked down his head.
At the same time, he was holding a rusty and rotten boat nail in his hand.
"Disciple Li Zhong, today I will see the true face of the real person and beg the real person to cross the disciples out of this world of suffering." The dock worker kowtowed and shouted.
This movement also attracted many passers-by who came out to have fun in the morning and looked for breakfast.
Passers-by looked at Li Zhong and Cao Zhe who were kneeling and pointed at him.
Cao Zhe laughed and said, "I don't know what's up!"
Then he walked quickly towards the city.
The seemingly slow step disappeared in front of others in a blink of an eye.
Only Li Zhong knelt in place, looking at Cao Zhe who had disappeared, feeling lost.
"I am just an ordinary martial arts man. I am still rolling in the sea of suffering. How can I save people?" Cao Zhe thought to himself at this moment.
Then I thought of Huang Xiang, who had not seen him for half a year.
"I don't know if she hugged Guo Jing's thigh and became the princess of the Dayue Dynasty." Cao Zhe thought again.
Before Cao Zhe could appreciate the appearance of the capital of Dayue Dynasty, a team of police officers wearing muskets and uniforms surrounded Cao Zhe. Regardless of anything else, the gun was first pointed at Cao Zhe and blocked all directions.
"That Taoist! I ask you a person in the world? Do you have a martial artist certificate issued by Zhenshansi? What sect and what origin? Report it quickly, otherwise you will be detained immediately and thrown into prison."
