In line with the principle of "saving people to the end, sending Buddha to the west", and because he had been seen wandering at night several times in recent days by the night watchmen, Yan Changge decided to move to Zhuanghan Lai San's house, so that he could help him reform at a close distance, and also take care of the old lady who had just been discharged from the hospital. He was afraid that she loved her son so much that she would lie on the cold ground right after being discharged from the hospital, and it would be bad if she was plagued by all kinds of diseases.
The strong old woman Lai San: "...We won't dare to do it again, please let us go!"
Yan Changge accepted their kindness, but still did not change his original intention.
In addition to observing them, Yan Changge also had his own plans.
Whether it is "air conditioning" pulling a car, "system" monitoring, or global "networking", these things are unimaginable magical powers for a monk who has just transformed. There are too many powerful people in the world, and Yan Changge knows that he must keep a low profile, understand the laws of this world, and be a normal person.
So he explained: "Don't worry, I'm just staying here for a while. I won't eat with you and I won't take up any space."
Well, he doesn't need to eat grains in the first place, and the original prototype can be hidden in any corner, which is really convenient.
This matter is settled.
The strong man Lai San is a small-time gangster who has spent all his money. He does have a place to live, but he has been living at his brother and sister-in-law's house. Not only does he eat and drink for free every day, he also often takes money from his brother and sister-in-law. His brother and sister-in-law dare not say anything to him, so they can only sell all the valuable things in the house and put all the cash in the bank. The family has not dared to replace new furniture for several years.
Old lady Xu Erya does have a shabby house in a remote corner of the old city. The development direction in recent years has been the new city, and this place in the old city is idle. However, it is only a matter of time for such a house to be renovated. Although Xu Erya has no income, she is much better off than the strong man Lai San.
After hearing about the current situation of the two people, Yan Changge frowned and quickly decided on a solution.
He first sent Xu Erya home with Lai San, then forced Lai San to go to his brother and sister-in-law's house to apologize and move the luggage. He also forced Lai San and his brother and sister-in-law to calculate the expenses of eating and drinking for free and taking advantage of the situation over the years, and after writing an IOU for a large amount of money, he took Lai San to live in Xu Erya's house under the gazes of Lai San's brother and sister-in-law.
When Lai San was taken away, all the gratitude and merits from Lai San's brother and sister-in-law went to Yan Changge.
Lai San and Xu Erya never imagined that they just went out to bump into someone, but they actually ran into such a plague god!
Lai San really couldn't stand it. Even if he was afraid of Yan Changge, he couldn't just let others do whatever they wanted. So when Yan Changge was settling Xu Erya, he secretly went out to make a phone call.
"Hey, is that you lame guy? Hurry up and bring some brothers with you. I'm being entangled by a plague god and I can't stand it any longer! Bring some tough guys with you. I think this guy has some kung fu skills. I'll treat you guys to dinner some other day!"
Lai San made the call in the yard and his voice was very low, but how could he hide it from Yan Changge?
The reason why Lai San was not stopped was because Yan Changge felt that this might be a good opportunity to gain merit.
As expected, when Lai San's eleven brothers arrived with knives, guns, sticks and clubs, Yan Changge was unable to handle them all with one hand, and soon they all knelt in front of Yan Changge with bruised faces and noses together with Lai San.
Yan Changge's understanding of the world originated from hundreds of years ago, so he didn't feel much about those who voluntarily knelt in front of him. However, none of these thugs had backbone. After being taught a lesson, they knelt on the ground with a plop. Together with Lai San, there were a total of twelve people, kneeling in a row in Old Lady Xu's yard.
Yan Changge brought a broken chair over and sat in front of them. He asked, "What do you do for a living?"
He was not yet familiar with the modern way of speaking, and his speech was somewhat a mixture of ancient and modern, but this just happened to fit in with the impression he gave others of being the heir of a well-established martial arts family.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Qing army was massacring China, a martial artist led a large number of chivalrous warriors to rise up in resistance and drove out the invaders. However, this martial artist refused to be an emperor, but instead established a democratic republic, was elected the first president, and began to actively connect with the outside world, allowing China to catch up with the two industrial revolutions. Although during World War II, a group of dwarfs invaded China with the support of Italy, they were quickly beaten out by martial arts masters armed with modern weapons.
During the two turmoils in China, martial arts masters saved the situation. Since then, martial arts families have enjoyed a very high status in China. Although we have entered the new century, with no emperor but only a president, no feudalism but only democracy, these traditional martial arts families still retain all the good traditions. For example, those families with both civil and military talents have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and they basically speak in the same tone as Yan Changge now.
"I, we..." The cripple was the leader of these people, kneeling on the ground and answering, "We learned some skills, and we usually help some financial companies to collect debts. Usually, we don't open for business for a year, but we can make a living for a year when we open."
Most modern people do not know martial arts, and martial arts classes are not part of the exams. Generally, students who are good at studying have average martial arts grades. On the contrary, students with poor grades can learn some kung fu, and after completing twelve years of compulsory education, they can find a job with their martial arts skills.
But how can they learn the essence of martial arts taught uniformly in school? The real secrets are hidden in the hands of martial arts families. So with their limited skills, they can't find jobs like bodyguards, so they can only be gangsters and scare the good students with good grades.
"I see." Yan Changge nodded and asked them a few clever questions, such as where they learned Kung Fu.
After asking these questions, Yan Changge roughly understood the current situation.
Although he didn't know whether these martial arts families were related to the world of cultivation, and whether he could use magic power, it didn't matter if he showed some skills. As a famous swordsman, Yan Changge had seen countless masters over thousands of years, and he knew countless martial arts, which was enough to bluff people.
As the leader of these people, Lame was smarter than Lai San. When he heard Yan Changge asking these questions, he realized that something was wrong. Although Yan Changge asked cleverly, he still slightly revealed his shortcomings of being slightly different from common sense. Of course, this was also deliberately revealed by Yan Changge in order to see how these people would react.
He said nothing, but deliberately left things to others to guess, just to see how most people would guess his identity, so that he could slowly find his own position.
The lame man asked boldly, "Brother, you are so good at martial arts, are you a disciple of some hermit master?"
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yan Changge neither denied nor admitted.
Because you don't know any common sense at all, you are just like someone who came out of the mountains!
This kind of thing has happened in China before, because some sects' principle of doing things is to keep a low profile. If there is nothing to do, they will find a mountain valley to live in seclusion for a few decades, and it is entirely possible that they will come out again when a national disaster occurs.
The common point of these people is that they have no household registration, no ID card, and are completely unfamiliar with the facilities of modern society, but they are also highly skilled in martial arts and have simple personalities. Later, the country introduced a series of policies targeting these ancient martial arts hermits, mainly to facilitate the management of these people.
As long as you say the name of your unique martial arts and go to the local police station to record a video of your unique martial arts to prove that you really know this kind of kung fu, you can take the certificate issued by the police station to the martial arts association for stamping. After verification, the martial arts association will prove that this martial arts is indeed well-documented and is indeed a traditional Chinese martial arts, and will keep this martial arts on file.
With the files and certificates, the ancient martial arts hermits can receive various identity certificates and the minimum basic living allowance and low-rent housing. The basic living allowance is only issued for one year, and the low-rent housing can only be lived in for one year. After one year, the ancient martial arts hermits need to find a job by themselves. Of course, as long as they are recognized by the Wushu Association, the Wushu Association will help them find a job. After all, it is still easy for martial arts masters to find jobs these days, so the few ancient martial arts hermits known now all live well.
"So that's how it is..." After listening to the lame man's explanation, Yan Changge nodded secretly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In this way, he no longer has to worry about his identity. However, the system master really thought it through. He knew that he couldn't keep an eye on this world all the time, so he came up with so many rules to verify people's identities. It's really admirable. I don't know when I can become such a powerful person.
"And more..." Seeing that the big brother in front of him was very friendly to him, the lame man crawled forward on his knees a few steps and tried to curry favor with Yan Changge. "The Wushu Association is just an association of ancient martial artists established by the country. There are some masters in it, but most of them are very ordinary. The really powerful ones are the martial arts families. Each of them is a big family. It is said that every magic weapon hidden in the family is a fine product. Although those ancient swords and the like are national treasures and cannot be privately collected or resold abroad, the ancestral things of the major families still belong to each family. If you have any magic weapons, you need to register them in the museum and get a weapon certificate for your weapon. Now everything needs a certificate."
Yan Changge: “…”
His smile disappeared in an instant, and he stared at the cripple and asked coldly: "...What if it was an ownerless ancient sword that had been buried underground for a long time and was dug out by someone?"
The lame man felt a chill on his neck as if something sharp was pressing against his artery. He didn't even dare to breathe hard and could only answer in a low voice: "Of course it belongs to the country and will be collected and exhibited in the museum. Even if it is an antique dug out from one's own land, it belongs to the country. After all, it belongs to the country."
Yan Changge: “…”
He just slept for a hundred years, and when he woke up, he no longer belonged to himself, but to the museum!
