The world of film and television begins from childhood

As for money, he did have it, but in such a low-level court, if you have money but no power, you are just a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

Therefore, the best thing for him now is to master the power. His physical fitness is several times better than that of ordinary people, but in this low-level martial arts world, it is still very dangerous. After all, no matter how strong his physical fitness is, he cannot withstand cold weapons.

In the world of martial arts, the most important thing is naturally martial arts, and what he lacks is various martial arts, internal strength, and moves, all of which are stored in his mind.

As an inspector of the Six Paths Hall, he himself had practiced internal skills and had developed internal strength, but his level was very average. Even in the Hell Realm, he was not particularly outstanding. However, he was valued by Ning Yuanzhou because of his clever mind, strong memory and calculation ability.

Although the prison is depressing, it is also a habitat for Zhou Chen at this stage.

After recalling the internal energy techniques in his mind, Zhou Chen threw them aside, first dissipating the mixed internal energy in his body, and then began to practice Yangzhou Slow.

Zhou Chen's Yangzhou Slow is different from the Yangzhou Slow created by Li Lianhua. According to the Pure Yang Jue and his own characteristics, he made some changes to the original Yangzhou Slow. These changes may not be all positive, but they are definitely the most suitable Yangzhou Slow mentality for him.

Because he was wearing it, his talent continued to increase with the improvement of his physical fitness. After all, the most important things in martial arts training are the body and understanding.

Everyone has different understandings, but people with good physical fitness are definitely more talented in martial arts than those with poor physical fitness. Of course, there are exceptions for some people with special physical conditions.

However, if you want to master martial arts to a high level, comprehension becomes more important. It can even be said that comprehension is more important than physical fitness in learning martial arts. Zhou Chen has a deep understanding of this.

And his spiritual attributes have been increasing all the time, which has also improved his understanding and strengthened his talent for martial arts.

Relying on his strong talent and proficiency, Zhou Chen developed a sense of Qi in just two days. He started with the Yangzhou method and then slowly began to practice.

After just a few days, Zhou Chen stopped practicing. Practicing martial arts is different from cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals relies on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while practicing martial arts cultivates internal strength and explores the power of the body, so practicing martial arts requires eating.

But in this cell, it is difficult to even get enough food, let alone replenish nutrition.

So he had to leave the prison first.

He had already thought of a way to leave here, so he immediately walked to the door.

"Prison boss, prison boss."

Zhou Chen's loud shouting aroused the dissatisfaction of the jailer. Two of them came over and shouted at Zhou Chen: "Why are you shouting? Do you want to be whipped?"

Zhou Chen said coldly: "Call your leader over here and tell him that I want to see the head of the Six Paths Hall, Master Zhao Ji."

"Who the hell are you..."

One of the jailers was about to yell but was stopped by the person next to him.

"Shut up, I know this guy, he used to be from Liudaotang."

"Hiss, from Liudaotang? What about us?"

The Six Paths Hall was extremely prestigious in Wu Country. They were just small jailers, so how could they dare to offend the Six Paths Hall?

"Go find the boss and let him handle this matter. Let's not get into trouble."

Chapter 1388 Six Paths Hall, Negotiation

The plot of One Thought on the Mountain is actually quite simple. The first half can be described as a road adventure film, while the second half is a forced sentimentality.

The first half focuses on the female director Ren Ruyi. Ren Ruyi's original identity was Ren Xin, the former left-hand man of the Zhuyi Guard. Because she was wrongly accused and faked her death to escape, she accidentally met Ning Yuanzhou, the former deputy head of the Liudao Hall. The two sides cooperated to go to Andu to redeem Emperor Wu with gold. Ren Ruyi helped the Wu Kingdom save Emperor Wu, while Ning Yuanzhou helped Ren Ruyi investigate the truth about the death of her benefactor, Empress Zhaojie.

The group set out from Wudu and experienced various dangers along the way. It was a real road adventure.

The second half starts to talk about family and country feelings. Anguo and Wuguo jointly resist the invasion of Beipan, and then the protagonists start to give away their heads one by one... It's ridiculous.

Zhou Chen soon met the jailer. The Six Paths Hall had a high status and great power in Wu Country. Although he was a prisoner now, he could ask to see the current head of the Six Paths Hall, so the jailer naturally did not dare to be careless.

Although the jailer in the cell has a low status, he can become the prison boss, which shows that he is very shrewd, otherwise he would not be able to survive in this big prison.

"You want to see Lord Zhao?"

The prison boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a frail build, a little hunchback, yellow teeth, and small eyes. He looked like an old man who was easy to bully.

But Zhou Chen had lived here for two months, so he naturally knew that this prison boss was not as harmless as he appeared to be. If he really was harmless, how could he control those prisoners in the prison?

"Yes, I want to see Hall Master Zhao."

The jailer Lao He showed his yellow teeth: "Why should I trust you? Lord Zhao is such an important person, and we small people can't even meet him. How can we help you pass on the message?"

The leader of Liudao Hall also holds a high position of power in the imperial court, while Lao He is just a jailer who doesn't even have the chance to curry favor with him, let alone meet him.

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to go find Lord Zhao directly. You just need to find someone to pass on a message for me. Once it's passed, Lord Zhao will definitely see me."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Six Paths Hall, Humanity, Xu Jun."

Zhou Chen slowly said out a name. This Xu Jun was a humane Tiqi. He had appeared in the plot before. At the beginning of the story, he led people to execute Ren Ruyi and others. However, he did not expect that there was a variable named Ren Ruyi, and was killed by Ren Ruyi.

His relationship with Xu Jun was not very good, but he had helped Xu Jun once. Although Xu Jun followed Zhao Ji, he was not as ruthless and profit-driven as Zhao Ji and Lou Qingqiang. He believed that Xu Jun would repay this favor.

Of course, if Xu Jun didn't help, he still had other ways to leave the dungeon.

The jailer Lao He thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to let Zhou Chen pass on the message. After all, Zhou Chen was a member of Liudaotang, and if he got out one day, it would be very easy to take revenge on him.

Adhering to the idea of ​​not offending anyone, he did not look for anyone else, but went to find Xu Jun in person according to the address Zhou Chen gave.

A day later, Xu Jun arrived at the prison.

Xu Jun was not very old, and looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a dark-colored Liudaotang cavalry uniform, which made him look quite heroic.

"I thought you were sent into exile like Ning Yuanzhou. Tell me, why did you ask someone to come to me? You didn't want me to rescue you, did you? If that's the case, then the favor I did you back then is not enough."

The Liudaotang is similar to the Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty, especially the Tiqi of the Sanshandao. Without a background, one cannot get in, and they have great power.

If Zhou Chen had not saved him once when he first entered Liudaotang, he would definitely not have come to see Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart. It all depends on the person. But since Xu Jun is here, it is enough.

"You guessed right, I do want to go out."

"You are from Senluo Hall. Hall Master Zhao hates you guys the most. I can't save you without his order."

Zhou Chen said: "Of course, I won't make things difficult for you, but I want to see the hall master and need your help. Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing, twenty taels of gold."

"Ok?"

Xu Jun's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Zhou Chen's face in surprise.

"I know that you, Senluo Palace, don't have much money. Ning Yuanzhou is a stubborn person who hates corruption and abuse of power. Do you have twenty taels of gold?"

In this chaotic world, the purchasing power of gold is quite strong. One tael of gold can definitely be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver, and five taels of silver are enough for a family of three or four to spend in a year.

Even in Liudaotang, the annual salary was at most a few dozen taels of silver and twenty taels of gold. For Xu Jun, it was definitely a huge sum of money.

Zhou Chen replied confidently: "There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. Hall Master Ning is impartial, but the people below still have to make a living."

Xu Jun smiled. He did not doubt what Zhou Chen said at all. After all, Ning Yuanzhou had the old hall master to take care of him. The Ning family was also a wealthy family in the past and they even had a mansion in the capital. It was normal that they were not short of money.

But it is different for other inspectors in the lower three paths. They can only live in poverty relying on their salaries. Among those who enter the Six Paths Hall, only a few truly fight for ideals and justice, while most of them do it for survival and glory.

This is also one of the reasons why, although Zhao Ji himself has no charm, not many people in the Six Paths Hall oppose him after he came to power, because he can make money, and his uncle is the Prime Minister Zhang Xiang. Otherwise, how could Zhao Ji hold the position of the head of the Six Paths Hall firmly?

"Fifty taels."

Zhou Chen sat down in the prison without saying a word.

Xu Jun frowned: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Twenty taels of gold is all I have. If you don't want to, I have no choice but to stay."

He was rich, but how could he allow Xu Jun to control him? If he had no way to find Zhao Ji directly, he would not have wanted to pay the twenty taels of gold.

Xu Jun looked unhappy. He felt that since Zhou Chen could offer twenty taels of gold, there must be more than that. However, Zhou Chen's attitude made him unsure. If the talks broke down, wouldn't he not even have twenty taels of gold?

It's just a message. Not only can you repay the favor, but you can also earn twenty taels of gold. It's a sure win.

Thinking of this, he pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "What message do you want me to convey?"

Zhou Chen's face relaxed slightly, and he said, "Tell Lord Zhao that I can help him avoid being punished by Prime Minister Zhang, and I can also make him rich."

After hearing this, Xu Jun showed a look of disdain: "Just you?"

The Tiqi of the three good paths of the Liudao Hall has always had a higher status than the Chazi of the three evil paths. Although Zhou Chen has helped him, it does not mean that he puts Zhou Chen on the same level.

Hearing Zhou Chen talking about Zhang Xiang as soon as he opened his mouth and wealth as soon as he closed his mouth, he just found it ridiculous.

Zhou Chen's momentum suddenly became fierce, and he looked at him coldly: "In a word, twenty taels of gold, have you ever done such a deal?"

Xu Jun felt a little scared when Zhou Chen looked at him, but then he became furious. He was just a prisoner, yet he dared to talk to him like that.

However, for the sake of twenty taels of gold, he endured it.

"Let me make it clear first. No matter whether Hall Master Zhao sees you or not, you must give me the twenty taels of gold. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."

"If I lose my life, do you think I will still care about material things?"

Xu Jun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. It was just a message.

"Wait, then."

This wait is two days.

Ten days have passed since Zhou Chen came here. He has already mastered the Yangzhou Slow Arts and developed extremely pure internal strength, but at the same time, he has also lost weight.

Damn it, eating bland soup every day, and only two meals a day, what nutrition can it have?

However, his current talent for martial arts is indeed extraordinary. He has completed the first level in ten days and is not far from the second level. This talent is definitely genius. If he has enough nutrition and the support of medicinal baths, his progress will only be faster.

This is also the reason why he is eager to leave here.

"Prisoner Zhou Chen, come out."

Suddenly, a jailer's shout was heard outside. Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. He knew it must be Zhao Ji who came.

He stood up and walked to the cell door. The jailer put handcuffs on his hands and took him away. They soon came to a closed room. After sending him into the room, the jailer quickly closed the door and left.

Zhou Chen looked expressionlessly at the two people standing in front of him in the room.

The current head of Liudao Hall, Zhao Ji, and the humane Lou Qingqiang.

"Zhou Chen, the inspector of Hell, Ning Yuanzhou's confidant. I heard from Xu Jun that you want to see me?"

Zhao Ji's face was indifferent and he exuded coldness. He stared at Zhou Chen with an extremely aggressive look, as if he was going to devour Zhou Chen in the next moment.

Zhou Chen calmly bowed and said, "Meetings, Master Zhao."

Zhao Ji swung his sleeves and shouted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. I want to hear what you have to say to Xu Jun. You helped me avoid the punishment of my uncle and gave me wealth. You are so arrogant. Just based on what you said, do you believe I will execute you now?"

"Of course I believe it. Hall Master Zhao is in power now. It would be easy for him to kill small people like us. But if Prime Minister Zhang knew that Senluo Hall was abandoned by Hall Master Zhao, I wonder what his attitude would be?"

Senluo Palace was derived from the Hell Realm. It allowed Taoists who had retired due to injuries to come to Senluo Palace, analyze the secret reports, summarize them into proposals, and hand them over to various departments. Therefore, the existence of Senluo Palace was very important to the court.

Zhao Ji's current position is due to his 1% effort and 99% help from Zhang Xiang, so if you ask who he fears the most, even Emperor Wu is the best.

So after hearing Zhou Chen's words, his face suddenly became very ugly.

When Zhou Chen saw his expression, he looked down on him even more. Someone who couldn't even control his own emotions was destined to achieve nothing great and wouldn't last long.

Lou Qingqiang, who was standing beside him, shouted angrily: "Zhou Chen, you are so bold. Zhang Xiang is the uncle of the hall master. How can a lowly inspector like you discuss this?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I am just telling the truth. Prime Minister Zhang asked Lord Zhao to replace Ning Yuanzhou and take charge of the Six Paths Hall. He must have great trust in Lord Zhao and is full of expectations. But if Prime Minister Zhang knew that Hall Master Zhao had abandoned the Senluo Hall, Lord Zhao would probably find it difficult to explain, right?"

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he said coldly: "You were imprisoned with Ning Yuanzhou, how did you know that I abandoned Senluo Palace, who was passing the message to you?"

"choke!"

Lou Qingqiang drew his sword in an instant, and as long as Zhao Ji gave the order, he would kill Zhou Chen immediately.

Zhou Chen was very calm and said calmly: "The reason why Senluo Hall can exist is entirely because of Ning Yuanzhou, because only he can make Senluo Hall conduct analysis and summary in an orderly manner. Once Ning Yuanzhou leaves, Senluo Hall will not last long; what's more, everyone in Liudao Hall knows the relationship between Hall Master Zhao and Ning Yuanzhou. Hall Master Zhao does not want the Six Paths Hall to have any traces of Ning Yuanzhou, so it is not difficult to guess that Hall Master Zhao will abandon Senluo Hall."

Zhao Ji's eyes sparkled. Zhou Chen was right. He abandoned Senluo Palace. On the one hand, it was because he didn't want Ning Yuanzhou to leave and his shadow would still remain in Liudao Hall. On the other hand, it was also because he was simply incapable of leading and managing Senluo Palace.

The duties of Senluo Palace may sound simple, but without rich experience and means, it would be impossible to maintain it.

So it can be said that his abandonment of Senluo Palace was half active and half passive, but he did not think that he was worse than Ning Yuanzhou. He felt that even without Senluo Palace, Liudao Hall would also prosper under his leadership.

But Zhou Chen now mentioned Zhang Xiang in front of him, which made him feel jumpy. Zhang Xiang had been ill during this period and had not asked about the affairs of Liudaotang, so he didn't know that Senluo Hall had been abandoned by him. If he knew, based on his understanding of his uncle, he would probably not forgive him easily.

"Hehe, tell me, what is your purpose?"

"It's simple. I don't want to stay here any longer. I want to ask Master Zhao to rescue me."

Zhao Ji sneered: "Since you know the relationship between me and Ning Yuanzhou, do you think I will save you, Ning Yuanzhou's confidant?"

Zhou Chen said: "Master Zhao, there is no need to say that. I work in Senluo Palace for a living. It is impossible for me to die with Master Ning if he is gone. If Master Zhao gives me this opportunity, I am willing to help you rebuild Senluo Palace."

"Rebuilding Senluo Palace? Just you?"

Zhao Ji and Lou Qingqiang both showed sarcasm. Before coming, they naturally had a full understanding of Zhou Chen.
