After subduing the bandits and occupying Laojun Mountain, Xiang Nan finally took root and had his own territory.

Before that, although he was highly respected in Foxiao Tower, it was the property of Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others, and it was not fair in terms of reputation. Naturally, he was not as strong as in Laojun Guan.

After occupying Laojun Mountain, Xiang Nan ordered the bandits to repair Laojun Temple. They cleaned up garbage, built houses, washed wells, and reshaped the golden body...

Over the years, Laojun Temple has lost its popularity and fallen into disrepair. In addition, these bandits did not know how to care for it and destroyed it wantonly, turning a good royal Taoist temple into a broken kiln.

If Xiang Nan wants to establish a foundation here, he will naturally need to repair it.

These bandits had no weapons and were intimidated by Xiang Nan's martial arts. They did not dare to disobey, so they had to work hard under the supervision of the heroes, hoping that Xiang Nan would show mercy and let them go down the mountain soon.

The construction, repair, and decoration of the house were all designed and constructed by Xiang Nan. He inherited Chen Xiaozheng's architectural knowledge and also conducted considerable research on ancient architecture.

Seeing that under the guidance of Xiang Nan, Laojun Temple was gradually repaired and expanded, and restored to its former glory, all the disciples could not help but admire it.

…

While Xiang Nan was repairing the Taoist temple, the women and hostages who were put down by him on the mountain all praised Tai Chi Master's reputation after returning home.

So, people nearby soon knew that a Tai Chi master came to Laojun Mountain to enforce justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good, and eliminate the bandits who had caused trouble for many years.

For a time, everyone was naturally praising him. There were even a few village elders who specially took their juniors with them to carry drinks, chickens and ducks up the mountain to express their gratitude.

Of course, it's a thank you in name. But implicitly, it's probably to find out whether Xiang Nan is a good person or a worse evil person.

Xiang Nan guessed what they were thinking, so he received them warmly.

"I am the master of Tai Chi and the master of the Tai Chi sect. Our sect learns from Taoism, which emphasizes tranquility and inaction. Tao follows nature, is virtuous, and is compassionate. So folks, don't be afraid." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

.

When the villagers heard this, they were naturally happy and thanked them one after another.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan returned them even heavier gifts, making these villagers feel more at ease and grateful.

…

In the next six months, Laojun Temple gradually returned to its former glory after renovations.

The number of houses has increased from the original eighteen to forty-two; the warehouse has increased from two to eight; the pig house has increased from one to six; the stable has increased from two to four; the chicken house and the duck house have been increased.

three times……

In addition to the increase in real estate, gold and silver prices also increased significantly.

Three hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand taels of silver, forty gold and silver wine vessels, two boxes of pearls, agates and emeralds, twenty pieces of silk and satin, fifty pieces of cotton and linen, twenty-five pieces of furs of various colors...

Although Xiang Nan told the village elders that Tai Chi Sect is compassionate and peaceful. But in fact, it does not matter who is right. For poor people and ordinary businessmen, they naturally do nothing and live in peace.

But when it comes to those local tyrants, evil gentry, bully landlords, and corrupt officials, Xiang Nan is not polite and wants to uphold justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good.

In the past six months, he, along with Jun Bao, Qiu Xue, Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others, had actually carried out several major cases, punished more than a dozen corrupt officials, bully landlords, and illegal businessmen, and robbed countless amounts of money.

A huge amount of ten thousand taels.

This is also the reason why Laojun Temple can restore its former glory. After all, rebuilding the temple and reshaping the golden body are absolutely impossible without money.

And because they are close friends and close friends, they often commit crimes in other state capitals, ride horses back and forth, and leave with a single strike, so few people know that they are actually responsible for these major crimes.

…

Seeing that Laojun Temple was renovated and restored to its former glory, Xiang Nan also decided to add to his happiness and formally marry Xiao Donggua.

Over the past six months, his relationship with Xiao Donggua has become increasingly close.

On the one hand, Xiao Donggua admires his talents, character, and martial arts, and loves him. Xiang Nan also likes Xiao Donggua's intelligence and beauty, so the man and the concubine are interested in each other, and they all go together. Naturally, the more they get together, the better.

close.

On the one hand, he teaches Wing Chun to Xiao Donggua, and the two of them often practice kicking, pushing and blocking, and have physical contact every day. The unity of mind and heart also helps to enhance their relationship.

Just like modern people dancing, you hold me, I hold you, and we jump back and forth together. If it weren't for the fact that it was ancient times and the folk customs were still relatively conservative, Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua would have become good friends long ago.

Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua are getting married, so everyone is naturally happy.

On the one hand, it is important for men to get married when they are young, and for girls to marry off. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir. Xiang Nan is so good at martial arts, so it is natural that there must be a successor; on the other hand, Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggualang are talented and beautiful, they are a match made in heaven, and they are a perfect match.

, no one will object.

So everyone immediately started to get organized. They bought wine and meat, slaughtered pigs and sheep, put up lanterns and colorful decorations, and played drums and music loudly. In order to celebrate this grand event, all the heroes also sent out heroic invitations to invite their colleagues from all over the world to come and watch the ceremony.

So on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the wedding of Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua was officially held.

…

"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the high hall, husband and wife bow to each other, and then send them into the bridal chamber~" the master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua both had no parents, so they paid their second respect to the high hall and received the portrait of Master Jue Yuan.

After the ceremony, Little Winter Melon was sent to the bridal chamber, while Xiang Nan toasted with the guests one by one.

"Master, this is Master Jiang from Wuji Sect in Huaiqing Prefecture~This is Master Sun from Yanqing Quan from Guide Prefecture~This is Master Zhao from Erlang Quan from Kaifeng Prefecture~This is Liu Erye, the descendant of the Eight Drunken Immortals from Taiyuan Prefecture

, known as Yanxia Sanren..." Deng Chang and Zhu Gui helped introduce.

Xiang Nan was greeted one by one.

This was the first time he had seen these martial artists.

"Master Tai Chi, they all say that you created a boxing technique that uses stillness to stop, and softness to overcome hardness. It strikes last and comes first. It is unique. All the heroes are here today. Can you let everyone see it?" Master Sun asked loudly.

.

Hearing what he said, all the heroes agreed, "Master, let us see it."

"Okay, since everyone is so supportive, let me demonstrate it." Xiang Nan nodded and immediately came to the venue to demonstrate.

Everyone watched with wide eyes, hoping to learn something.

However, they are simply out of their minds. Tai Chi is different from other boxing methods. The moves are not important, the key is the artistic conception. The key is to break if you don’t use force, and if you use force, it will break.

So angry.

So even if they memorize all the moves, it still won't help, and will make them more likely to be beaten. Just like those so-called Tai Chi masters who only know the moves but don't understand the artistic conception, and are defeated completely. They might as well practice Sanda or wrestling.

"Is this slow Kung Fu really useful?"

"Is this the so-called new boxing technique? I don't see how powerful it is."

"It seems that Tai Chi is just a matter of practicing it very well."

Seeing Xiang Nan's demonstration of Tai Chi, which was soft and weak, weak and boneless, slow and grinding, the guests were a little disapproving.

At this moment, Deng Chang and Zhu Gui carried a two-inch-thick bluestone slab and placed it in the middle of the field.

Xiang Nan then slapped it down with his palm. There was a muffled sound and the stone slab broke into two pieces.
