Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 185 Abandoned Church
Lu Heng nodded slightly: "Practicing martial arts may not be able to strengthen the country, but it is still a good attempt."

Lin Heier nodded: "Sir, that's what you said. When it comes to martial arts, there were many boxers who practiced martial arts at the time, and they were also defeated by the Eight-Power Allied Forces? As long as they are flesh and blood, they are no match for guns. Anyone with such skills , you are the only one in the world.”

Dao: "On the contrary, the doctrines advocated by magazines and newspapers run by some young people with lofty ideals are more realistic."

Lu Heng heard: "What doctrine?"

After Lin Heier explained carefully, Lu Hengcai knew that it turned out that some magazines and newspapers were founded by young people, with the core of advocating science and democracy, aiming to awaken the people and discuss the direction of the future.

This made Lu Heng a little dazed.

Has Shanghai Bund developed to this point? !

Lu Heng suddenly discovered that his changes here have gradually manifested.Some things that appeared later have already appeared in Shanghai Beach.

Before that, they demarcated the concession, sent soldiers to guard it, prohibited the Chinese from entering, and stood above them; after that, they lost their privileges, and the concession was left with only a name—the people and businessmen of Shanghai Beach gradually squeezed in, Take up more space.

The former concession area now has offices of the Maternal and Children's Association.

Whenever something happens, such as foreigners bullying Chinese, they go to the office to file a complaint—and some people file a complaint to the Youth Gang, anyway, how to get back anyway.

The foreigners swallowed their anger. Although their financial interests have even made great progress over the years, they must be very uncomfortable in their hearts.

How do you say that the money interests of foreigners have also made great progress?It is because the market in Shanghai is expanding rapidly.The cake is getting bigger, even if the share is less, the actual number has increased.

In fact, Shanghai Beach is already the most equal and free trade port in the world.

The relaxed business environment has led to the rapid development of industry and commerce.It is only natural for the cake to grow bigger.

The government of the Qing court gradually lost its power and was replaced by the Women's and Children's Association, and the Qing Gang also got part of it.

Originally, after six or seven years, foreigners started to pretend to be skinny again, but when Lu Heng went to Hong Kong Island for a walk, the skinny shrunk again.

The Englishman suffered a heavy loss this time, reminding the foreigners of the fear of being dominated by Lu Heng that year.

Overall, Shanghai Beach is an extremely strange place.In a world with a backward environment, the international trade ports that have grown freely in a short period of time are really diverse and bizarre.

A lot of new things, like mushrooms after rain, popped up one after another.

And it was much earlier than what Lu Heng once remembered.

Such as Jingwu Sports Club, such as various newspapers and magazines that speak freely.

This place is full of the most intense collisions between the old and the new - there are old stubborn people like Kang, who hold money from overseas donations, shouting royalism, and living a luxurious life; there are also new youths with the most exciting new ideas !
Countless people speak freely in this relaxed environment, either to express their thoughts, or to explore a better way out.

However, the recent serial murders of pregnant women suppressed all kinds of noise for a time.

Because it is too hateful.

Frenziedly looking for pregnant women to start, one dead body and two dead.The Maternal and Children's Association was extremely angry, and the Green Gang went around the streets, but they have not been able to find any clues.

The Green Gang even published a newspaper offering a reward of [-] yuan.Whoever can find the clue can go to the Green Gang to collect [-] silver dollars!
Speaking of silver dollars, this thing also appeared earlier.It is a new currency issued in Shanghai, led by the Maternal and Children's Association, to replace silver as a currency, with reference to factors such as exchange rates with international currencies.

This kind of silver dollar is called "thousand jun silver dollar".

Its front is Mount Tai, and the back is the five grains.Although the official name is Shanghai Silver Dollar, more people prefer to call it Qianjun Silver Dollar.

Because the front Mount Tai symbolizes heaviness.And everything in Shanghai Bund today is attributed to Mr. Qianjun.The heavy Mount Tai coincides with the word Qianjun.So in the name of Qianjun, remember and commemorate.

When Lu Heng heard about this at the beginning, he was still a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

He doesn't seem to be dead yet.

But in any case, this is because the common people are thinking of him, so they have to accept this kindness—even if they don't accept it, Lu Heng can't help it. If the common people want to shout like this, how can they block their mouths one by one?

Lu Heng stayed at the Women's and Children's Association for a while, then got up to leave.

After leaving the Maternal and Children's Association, Lu Heng was in no hurry to go to the Lu Mansion.He wants to meet the two seniors from Longhushan first—or Senior Brother Lin Jiuying is also with them.

The two seniors of Longhushan have been cultivating secretly in Shanghai Beach. The two of them stayed in Shanghai Beach. Lu Heng's uncle was in Suzhou, and the great monk of Lingyin Temple was in Hangzhou, forming such a protective wall.

At the end of the land, there is an old dilapidated church - one of the churches that Lu Heng bulldozed, and now two seniors from Longhushan live here.

After entering, there is a Taoist temple inside, and there are no statues enshrined, just some tablets.

Two old Taoist priests with white hair and beards sat cross-legged on the futon quietly, with faint breath.Senior brother Lin Jiuying was also sitting cross-legged, but his face was not very good, a little pale.

When Lu Heng came in, the three of them opened their eyes one after another.

The two old seniors both laughed: "Little friend, long time no see."

On the night when the church was bulldozed, Lu Heng met the two seniors and chatted carefully for a while.

It's true that we haven't seen each other for many years.

Lu Hengyi bowed his hands: "How are the two seniors recently?"

Among them, the taller old Taoist flicked his sleeves: "Don't be polite, sit down and talk."

Lu Heng sat down as he said.

To Lin Jiuying: "Brother, did you hurt Yuan Qi?"

Lin Jiuying nodded slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that guy's cultivation has progressed so fast during this period of time. I almost couldn't beat him, and I suffered a bit."

The old Taoist priest Gao Da said: "Don't talk, you boy, so you can adjust your breath."

Then he turned to Lu Heng and said, "You have stayed at the foot of Gezao Mountain for several years, and this time you finally came out. Not long ago, Brother Zhou came and said that he has passed on the responsibility of protecting the Dharma to you, which is very good."

Lu Heng hurriedly asked: "My uncle also came to see the two seniors? Do you know where my uncle went to become a fairy?"

The slightly thinner old Taoist said with a smile: "Between heaven and earth, the four seas are home. Brother Zhou will become a fairy, so naturally he will be wherever he goes."

The tall old Taoist sighed slightly: "I can't help but sigh when I see you. Brother Zhou is lucky to have a descendant like you. My Dragon and Tiger Mountain hidden vein has been broken."

He couldn't help but sigh.
