1593 [Sparrow Battle]
Xiang Nan broke the stone slab with his palm, and this move shocked all the guests.
They, the ones with the highest martial arts, could only kick off jujube wood stakes. But Xiang Nan broke the bluestone slab with one palm. In their opinion, this was a magical skill.
Xiang Nan was very satisfied with this.
In fact, Tai Chi is not very lethal and not very powerful. It can only control the enemy, but cannot kill it.
Therefore, Xiang Nan thought hard and integrated Prajna Palm and Wing Chun Cun Jin into Tai Chi. After half a year of integration, he has now achieved some success.
"Really or not?! Could it be a cover-up?"
"As far as I know, there is a trick in martial arts circles. First, quench the stone and then pour vinegar on it, which will make the stone soft and break immediately. Isn't this the case?"
Many people couldn't believe it and questioned.
Breaking a stone tablet with a single palm was beyond their understanding, so it was difficult for them to accept it for a while.
"If you don't believe it, please try it yourself." Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said.
After everyone hesitated for a moment, they all stepped forward to check and saw that the bluestone slab had no burning marks and was extremely hard. When a palm was applied, the hand was sore from the shock, but the slab was unscathed. It was obvious that this was definitely not a charlatan.
Seeing this, everyone finally gave up and began to praise him unanimously.
"Master Tai Chi, his skills are really amazing, I admire him~"
"This Tai Chi seems to be extremely soft, but in fact it is extremely strong. It is truly a divine fist~"
"Tai Chi Sect has this magical skill, and it will definitely be the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the martial arts world~"
"You are so polite." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
…
After Xiang Nan finished his martial arts demonstration, everyone returned to their seats and drank and chatted.
As we chatted, we talked about the arrogance of the eunuchs and the difficult times in the world. Especially Liu Jin, relying on the emperor's favor and covering up the sky with one hand, committed lawlessness, exploited the people, expropriated and extorted money, and sucked out the bones and marrow.
"My escort agency was forced to close its doors two days ago. That Liu Jin is simply not a human being. He levies excessive taxes and collects them endlessly. In order to expand the military a few days ago, he actually came up with a military clothing tax, a comfortable living tax, and a safety tax... …It’s just a clever excuse to gain plunder.” The head of the Longmen Escort Agency complained bitterly.
"That's right, my martial arts gym is also taxed. I have to pay personal income tax, business tax, and public security tax. I pay it on a per capita basis. I have to pay three hundred taels of silver. Where can I get it? It makes me want to use martial arts. The gym is closed." Master Ji, a famous Ditangquan master, also complained.
"Liu Jin was superstitious about health-preserving techniques. He heard that eating human milk could lead to longevity, so he raided pregnant women. My brother-in-law and his wife were almost kidnapped. Fortunately, I took action in time. These castrated dogs really don't regard us people as human beings." Zha Quan Chuan The Centaur Master also roared angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that I have an old man above me and a young man below me, I really want to fight with them."
"Everyone, a chopstick is easy to break, but a chopstick is not easy to break." Deng Chang said loudly, "Liu Jin is a guarding eunuch with an army of 100,000 men. We, the Jianghu comrades, are naturally no match for us if we fight alone. But if we unite, There is no chance of dealing with him."
"Brother Deng, what do you have in mind?" Everyone asked curiously.
"The real person taught me that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them." Deng Chang explained, "Liu Jin's army of 100,000 people relied entirely on tax collectors to support him.
We formed an assassination team, and the tax collectors came and killed one team after another. We killed them until they did not dare to go to the countryside, enter the city, or leave the military camp. Over time, the army of 100,000 people will collapse. By then, Liu Jin will be alone. I can’t rely on my arrogance anymore.”
When everyone heard it, they all thought it made sense.
"But, Brother Deng, we can eradicate the small group of tax collectors. But what if Liu Jin sends an army to collect taxes?" someone asked doubtfully.
Deng Chang was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He really hadn't thought about this question.
"Then he will lose more than he gains." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Sending a large army to collect taxes and mobilize troops will cost a lot. As long as the people have received the news early, built strong walls to clear the fields, and ran to the mountains to hide, he will have to return without success.
After a few times, when the people were fine, he collapsed first. Just like a person who is very hungry, he can't exert any more force, otherwise he will tire out faster."
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
"In that case, let's do it." Everyone agreed.
…
"Everyone, resisting the eunuchs is a big deal. We must think in one place and work hard in one place to achieve success. As the saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head and a bird cannot fly without a head. We should also elect a leader to be in the middle. Only by coordinating and strategizing can we achieve great things." Master Jiang of Wuji Sect said.
As soon as they heard what he said, everyone recommended him. Either they recommended themselves, or they recommended people who were close to them.
Although at present, the position of alliance leader is just a false name. But false fame is tiring, and no one wants to fall behind or be compared to others.
So you were fighting for it, but no one was willing to step back, and you were so excited that you even started to quarrel.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
These heroes in the world are like a dragon when they are apart, but they are like a worm when they are together. Before the big thing is accomplished, they start to grab credit.
"Everyone, please stop fighting. Let me say a few words." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "The fight over the alliance leader is really unnecessary. Let's get rid of the tax collectors and it's like a sparrow war.
As the name suggests, it's like sparrows pecking at rice. They gather in small groups, peck east and west, peck east and west, disperse and gather, making it difficult for them to guard against.
In this case, there is no need for a large team, and naturally there is no need for people to command. It is easier to succeed if you adapt to changes and act flexibly. On the contrary, if you get together, it will be easier to expose the target and capture them in one fell swoop."
"The real person is absolutely right."
"I didn't expect that real people also study the art of war."
"The real person is really a learned and heavenly person, I admire him~"
Everyone nodded one after another. There was no need to fight for the position of alliance leader, and everyone suddenly felt calm again. Then they began to discuss which methods could be used to eradicate the small group of tax collectors.
Such as setting traps, shooting cold arrows, poisoning...all kinds of methods, which also opened Xiang Nan's eyes.
In fact, these people are all old people in the world. They have seen a lot of tricks to harm people and understand a lot. There is no need for Xiang Nan to remind them. They are all damaged.
Xiang Nan was speechless at this time.
He got drunk because of this and went to the bridal chamber in the backyard to accompany the bride.
After the Laojun Temple was renovated, it was divided into four courtyards.
The first thing you enter is the Sanqing Hall, which enshrines the Three Pure Ones, the Six Imperial Guards, and Taoist gods. This is also the facade of Tai Chi Gate. If believers come to offer incense, they can do so in the main hall.
The second entrance is the monastery where all the heroes live; the third entrance is the martial arts arena; the fourth entrance is Xiang Nan, where Junbao and others live in a single room. On both sides are warehouses and servants' quarters, and the backyard is a vegetable field and a stable. Chicken coop.
When he entered the bridal chamber, he saw Xiao Donggua, wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab, chatting with Qiu Xue.
Seeing Xiang Nan come in, Qiu Xue immediately knew the opportunity and walked out.
