Being an otaku in the world of American comics

"Old Wang~ Have you heard the news~!"

"Heard what? Old Li, what trivial matter do you have to amuse everyone with again?"

"Hehe~! This time it's no trivial matter, but a big deal! I guarantee you'll all be so shocked, your teeth will fall out!"

"What big deal? Tell us quickly."

"Yeah~ Hurry up!"

"To tell it, naturally there's no problem, but ~"

"Alright~ We know you! Waiter~ A plate of peanuts, and two ounces of sorghum wine!"

"Okay~ Please wait a moment!"

"Now is that good enough? Tell us quickly if there's anything big, and if you dare to brag, believe it or not, tomorrow I'll have your wife make me a special meal!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the restaurant immediately reached a climax, and a burst of laughter echoed throughout the hall.

Soon, after a group of acquaintances joked and cursed for a while, the man called Old Li finally began to tell the big event in his mouth.

"The story goes that a few days ago, the imperial court sent a large army to the foot of Songshan Shaoshi Mountain…"

… …

Obviously, the news of the imperial court sending troops to attack the Shaolin Temple had already begun to spread from the Songshan area to all directions.

However, this time, due to Liang Yue's intervention, the once fierce Tatar army ended in failure.

At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the Qing court's troops, who prided themselves on their excellent combat power, actually returned in defeat when attacking a Jianghu sect, and the final casualties were extremely heavy.

Just imagine, how much shock this news would cause in the Jianghu, and even throughout the entire Huaxia territory.

Although the Shaolin Temple has always been famous, and in the past dynasties, it has mostly been able to sit firmly in the top three positions in the Jianghu martial arts world.

However, the Shaolin Temple is, after all, a Jianghu sect, at best, it has a little more religious element than ordinary sects.

Whether it is from the perspective of human resources, equipment supply, training level, or even the quantity, the monks are far worse than the Qing court, which controls the entire country.

But even under such a disparity of power, the imperial court still lost.

According to Liang Yue's personal verification, it was confirmed that only the Eight-Armed Arhat seemed to be the only one who was able to escape from that group of Qing soldiers in the end.

This kind of thing is definitely a huge blow to the prestige of the Qing court.

And for those ambitious people who are determined to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, or to establish their own independent regime by overthrowing the Tartars, it is an encouragement.

Along the way, Liang Yue could hear rumors about this incident in almost every town and city he passed through from Henan to Hebei.

However, under the influence of the saying that "three men make a tiger", the original incident of hundreds of Qing soldiers attacking the Shaolin Temple has gradually changed its flavor with the passage of time, and has begun to become more and more mysterious.

The number of Qing troops sent by the imperial court has also increased from the initial hundreds of people to thousands, and then from thousands of people to tens of thousands.

Liang Yue once saw a person in a small city only one day away from the capital, patting his chest and guaranteeing to the people around him.

He said that he had personally witnessed that, facing the siege of tens of thousands of Qing troops, at the critical moment, the abbot of Shaolin Temple soared into the air, wrapped in supreme power, and used a Tathagata Palm from above the nine heavens, directly killing the imperial court's thousands of troops and horses on Shaoshi Mountain.

Now standing at the foot of the mountain, you can still see the huge palm print on the hillside, and so on~

Liang Yue felt that, according to this rate of spread, it is estimated that it will not be long before the old monk will become a Buddha on the spot, and be enshrined at home by some people who do not know the truth as the Buddha's descent~

Of course, in these unreliable folk ballad-style legends, Liang Yue has also made a grand appearance.

However, in these stories, he is described in a Spring and Autumn brushwork as a majestic image with a height of nine feet, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, beard and hair all stretched out, and a red face with angry eyes.

He is simply a combination of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the world…

The modern military fire he used has been said to be the Moji mechanism technique inherited from ancient times with unparalleled power, or even more mysterious powers such as controlling thunder and lightning.

People with a little insight will naturally not be confused by this kind of rumor, but from the signal released by the common people, they can also understand some intriguing trends and ideas.

It can be imagined that, with the spread of this incident in the Jianghu, the Shaolin Temple will naturally be pushed to the forefront.

Whether it is for the sake of its own face, or to extinguish the rising momentum of reactionary forces, the Qing court will inevitably use all means to wipe out the Shaolin martial monks who fled to the south as soon as possible.

It seems that the monks' journey should not be peaceful.

"Those rumors about me, except for the escaped Eight-Armed Arhat, only the Shaolin Temple people know about them. As the court's lackeys, they will naturally not help me with any publicity.

Moreover, the Eight-Armed Arhat has never seen my real body, so, these rumors about me should have been deliberately spread by the old monks, right?"

"This is also good, it can save me a lot of trouble~"

For example, the Qing court's Manchu Guards camp is stationed in an open area in the western suburbs outside the city, a full 40,000 elite troops!

You must know that when the Qing army entered the customs, the entire Manchu formal army was only more than 80,000, less than 90,000.

Nowadays, in order to cope with the folk uprisings in various places, as well as the Sanfan forces such as Wu Sangui who hold their own troops, the Qing court has to divide its troops everywhere, and then recruit troops and buy horses to expand its military strength on a large scale.

But even so, under this situation, the imperial court still maintains the inheritance system of the Manchu Eight Banners army, and ~ the purity of this team itself.

This tradition has even been maintained until the last moment of the demise of my Qing Dynasty…

From this point of view, it can also be seen that they have never taken the Han people seriously from beginning to end, even if they had to rely on Han officials due to external environmental pressures later.

But in times of crisis, they can still make the decision to rather give it to foreign countries than to slaves…

In addition to those pure Manchu Eight Banners armies, in the current capital city, there are also various puppet troops and newly recruited Green Camp soldiers stationed there.

But Liang Yue doesn't take them too seriously.

"If I can find an opportunity to wipe out the 40,000 troops, will the situation in Beijing, and even the entire Huaxia, change drastically immediately?"
