Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 8: There is great danger in all directions and sudden changes in the river!
"Brother, don't you want to go to Benlei Martial Arts School?" Chu Yingcai saw that he had not made up his mind and asked.

"That's not the case. There are many martial arts gyms in the town. Let's wait and see if any other gym owners can practice Qi." Chu Jiang said.

"How can it be so easy to practice true energy?" Chu Yingcai sighed.

Chu Jiang pondered: "Before you develop your true energy, who is stronger or weaker among other martial arts schools than Zhang Younian?"

"Half a catty." Chu Yingcai said.

"Then wait a moment, other gym owners are not bad at talent, and it takes time for us to make money." Chu Jiang thought.

He thought in his mind that Zhang Younian must have had some adventure and developed his true energy.

After Zhang Younian struck out a palm, he went back to rest. His true energy was not strong, let alone capable of being released.

But even so, the power of this true energy is enough to drive people crazy!
Chu Yingcai felt itchy and wanted to get money immediately to join the martial arts school.

"Brother is right, then we will work hard to make money and help brother join Benlei Martial Arts School. Then he will definitely teach me two moves." Chu Yingcai said.

"You don't want your brother to go to the martial arts gym?" Chu Jiang said with a smile.

"My brother and my father would definitely be reluctant to spend three taels of silver to learn martial arts from their master."

Chu Yingcai curled his lips and said: "It takes a long time to get a few pennies from them. They call me a prodigal. Money is their life."

Chu Jiang smiled and said: "Okay, let's go back and rest first. When the weather clears, we will go into the mountains to collect firewood. If we go fishing, I will call you. If you don't call me, I will rest."

He is not in a hurry to decide now, for two reasons.

One is that he has no money, and the other is that he is not sure where Zhang Younian got his energy.

If you want to be like yourself, eat Polygonum multiflorum, or get treasures like red pearl.

This is something that cannot be learned. Even if you learn his Thunder Hands, you will not be able to develop true energy.

If there is some martial arts secret book that can help you develop true energy, then follow it and you may be able to develop true energy with the help of red beads.

Take advantage of this period to make money, and also wait for news to see if Zhang Younian's reason for practicing Qi comes out.

"Okay." Chu Yingcai said excitedly, thinking that he was going to save money to go to the martial arts gym.

back home.

Chu Jiang disposed of the dishes and chopsticks before and rinsed his body.

With Chi Zhu around, he was not afraid of the cold at all.

"Speaking of it, I really lack a martial arts right now. Three taels of silver is too expensive."

Chu Jiang sighed softly.

This is almost enough to marry a wife!
Take a mother-in-law as your apprentice?
"I hope that one day I will have a bad harvest and change my martial arts." Chu Jiang thought in his heart.

If it were a treasure like Chizhu, he would definitely not take it out because it would not be cost-effective.

Wait until you catch a big tortoise again one day, or find a similar medicinal plant and sell it for money.

The world has changed, but I still want to live a leisurely life, and I really want to learn martial arts for self-defense.

There are many facial features in the town, and there are two similar to Benlei Martial Arts School, Tiger Martial Arts School and Green Ape Martial Arts School.

Then there are some small martial arts schools that can’t get on the stage and where food and clothing are a problem.

This kind of small martial arts school is similar to Chu Daxiong. There is a martial arts passed down from the family, with a name, but no reputation. The only way to recruit disciples is that the other party is blind.

In addition to the martial arts hall, there are three major shops, Zhang Ji Shop, Dong Chu Shop, and Lin's Shop.

Zhang Ji's shop uses water transportation and has a lot of guards, all of whom are martial arts practitioners.

Dongchu Shop uses land transportation, and occasionally cooperates with two companies to use water transportation.

The three major shops have all maintained escort teams to guard against the powerful on the road.

"I'm not the only one who got the opportunity. Why haven't there been any movements from these three major shops till today?"

Chu Jiang mused: "They traveled south and north, and they should have witnessed all kinds of extraordinary events."

Or……

Did they deliberately suppress the news and not let the news out?

Making a fortune quietly?

It's not impossible to think like this. Most people think differently from him.

When he got good things, he ate and used them himself.

When ordinary people get medicinal materials and big fish, their first thought is to sell them to the three major shops!
If everyone knows that the world has changed, then there will definitely be some people who, like Chu Jiang, have suffered their own transformation!

Chu Jiang thought a lot until he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the heavy rain continued.

There is a lot of rain in Dongjiang Town, and every time it rains, it rains for several days in a row.

Chu Yingcai didn't come to find her today and was resting at home.

Chu Jiang communicated with the compass again to check today's fortune.

Black air appeared in the east and south, white light appeared faintly, and black air also appeared in the west. There is great danger in all directions, so it is not advisable to travel!
Guard your home!

Fortunately, there is still some food at home, so I don’t have to worry about going hungry.

Chu Jiang spent a peaceful day at home. Chizhu always injected heat into his body to improve his body, but it was not to the point of being completely transformed.

Several days passed, and there were serious threats from all directions. Chu Jiang also visited Chu Jun's family.

It rained so hard that they didn't even go into the mountains. They all stayed at home.

Chu Jiang also felt relieved and had a meal by the way.

A few more days passed, and the heavy rain finally stopped and the weather cleared up.

Chu Jun and Chu Yingcai came, their faces pale and in shock.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Jiang asked confused.

"It's eating people. There's something in the river that's eating people." Chu Yingcai's body was trembling.

Chu Jun was also very frightened: "We came to see you, as long as we didn't go to the river."

"What cannibalism? Tell me clearly." Chu Jiang said with a solemn expression.

"We went fishing by the river. Zhang Xiaofei was fishing. He caught a big fish, as big as a house. He swallowed it in one mouthful and jumped into the water."

Chu Jun said in a deep voice.

"As big as a house?" Chu Jiang was stunned: "We are all fishing in shallow water. How can there be such a big fish there? What kind of fish?"

"White fish strips." Chu Jun said in a low voice.

Chu Jiang opened his mouth and looked at them in disbelief for a moment.

White fish sticks as big as a house?

Are you kidding me?
"Brother, don't believe it. This thing sounds mysterious to us." Chu Yingcai said with lingering fear: "We wouldn't believe it if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes."

"Many people saw it at the time. We heard that this had happened a long time ago, and the county magistrate and Zhangji Store kept the news hidden."

Chu Jun said: "There was a golden crucian carp before, which was also seven or eight meters long. It overturned a fishing boat and swallowed many people."

Chu Jiang fell into silence.

Were these things the cause of the great disasters in the north during this period?

The mountains to the west, the mineral veins to the south, and the east are all dangerous...

"Brother, don't go fishing recently. We just came to see you. It's okay if we don't go fishing." Chu Yingcai said.

"It rained too much during this period, so I didn't go, and I won't go for the time being." Chu Jiang said.

The two nodded, got up and went home.

Not long after, Uncle Lin also came. After making sure that he didn't go fishing, he went back with peace of mind.

"White fish strips the size of a house, golden crucian carp seven or eight meters tall..."

Chu Jiang murmured: "Okay, now the fun of fishing is gone."

The idea of ​​saving money to get a mother-in-law and live a stable life may not work anymore.

Dongjiang Town also fell into panic.

The white fish strip jumped up to eat people. At that time, too many fishermen saw it and they couldn't hold it down.

Many people in Dongjiang Town panicked. After all, half of their livelihoods depended on the Yangtze River.

If we can’t go to the Yangtze River, all the fishermen will lose their jobs.

Zhang Ji's Shop and Lin's Shop also immediately cooperated with the county magistrate to announce that they would hunt down the dangerous creatures in the Yangtze River and restore stability to the Yangtze River.

Chu Jiang didn't go out, so he took a rest early and went to bed.

Early the next morning, he communicated with the compass again to check today's fortune.

He doesn't have much hope anymore, and is looking for peace and quiet. This period of time is full of disasters.

The compass rose again, a ray of red appeared in the west, and the mountain vegetation appeared.

Xiaoji from the West should be in the mountains and forests!
Black air appears in the north, and the water is sparkling, which should be in the water.

East and South are calm.

A wisp of crimson rose in the center, and then grew rapidly, red as blood, while below, there were sparkling water.

It’s a big disaster to guard the house!

Someone is looking for him to go north?

"Enter the mountain, enter the mountain immediately!"

Chu Jiang did not dare to delay at all, so he immediately picked up the pole and ax, bought two cakes and went into the mountain.

He went to the Chu family and wanted to remind them not to go to the river, but he didn't expect that they had the same idea as him and planned to go into the mountains.
