Shen Daocheng saw that he had made up his mind, so it was not good to say anything more, so he comforted him a few words, and asked him to go back and bring a message to Wang Shu, so that he could prepare early, and he would set off in a few days.

Zhang Shixing returned to the Confucian Temple, and said Shen Daocheng's words to everyone again, everyone put their minds at ease and began to prepare things for Wang Shu, Huang Zhan took out the broken silver given by Zhang Shixing last time and gave it to Wang Shu, Wang Shu just wanted to resign, Huang Zhan said: "This is going to Yunnan, the road is far away, and the non-Beijing master can be compared, you go on the road alone, and you are helpless, so take it." The three of us here, there is always something to do. ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "It's really not good, you just follow the road to make a relationship, but you have to learn some Buddhist scriptures to be like a monk." As he spoke, he took out a Buddhist scripture and handed it to Wang Shu, saying: "This is a Heart Sutra given to me by Mr. Zeng, I will give it to you, you have nothing to do on the road, you can refer to it carefully, so as not to show your feet." ”

Wang Shu clasped his hands together, bowed down and said, "Amitabha, thank you Master for your teachings." ”

Everyone laughed together.

Zhu Yunwen took out a pen and paper, brushed and wrote a few lines, handed it to Wang Shu, and said, "When you see Mu Sheng, hand this over to him and see how he responds." ”

Wang Shu took a closer look, and saw a few lines of Du Fu's poems written on the paper: "There is spring water in the south and north, but I see a flock of gulls coming day by day." The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the last sentence of Pengmen is now open for you, but it is empty. ”

Wang Shu asked suspiciously, "Master, what does this mean?" ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "You don't need to ask, just bring this letter and see how Mu Sheng replies." ”

Wang Shu did not ask any more questions, and carefully put the letter away.

Zhang Shixing pulled Wang Shu aside and said: "Third brother, I don't know what dangers I will encounter along the way, I will teach you a few tricks of internal boxing, in case of emergency, it is good to protect yourself." ”

Wang Shu said: "That's naturally good. However, your inner boxing is not passed on, I have learned your boxing skills, is it considered a disciple of your sect? ”

Zhang Shixing smiled: "This is up to you." However, my uncle Song Zhong has no official successor under his knees, but he has taught me his lifelong martial arts, if you are willing to worship him as a teacher, I will pass on the art on behalf of my uncle, and teach you the essence of our inner boxing, which can be regarded as an explanation for my uncle's spirit in the sky. ”

Wang Shu turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "It's okay, you just go to worship the master, Song Zhong is also loyal, but it's a pity that he died early." ”

Wang Shu knelt on the ground, bowed three times in the sky, and said: "Master Song Zhong, the little monk Kongneng, the prestige of the Munei family's boxing method, worship under your door, and Senior Brother Zhang will pass on the art on behalf of you, I hope you will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, my master's empty thoughts will come true, the world will be peaceful, and all the people will be happy." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly helped him up and said: "Third brother, you are talented, it is not difficult to practice this boxing, but you have not practiced since childhood, and your legs and feet are inevitably not so flexible, I will teach you a few simple techniques, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but you must not fight against the master, remember to remember." ”

Wang Shu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Shixing first taught him a trick of the Cloud Palm, which is a method of counter-grabbing. If my left hand is captured, I can quickly slash the opponent's wrist with my right palm, and when he is frightened, I can quickly strike him in the face, so that the enemy will be caught off guard, fall to the ground injured, or flee. Conversely, the same applies to the right hand being captured.

Then Zhang Shixing taught Wang Shu a trick Danfeng Chaoyang, the purpose of this move is to avoid the enemy's incoming situation and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If the enemy strikes at me with his fist on the upper part, I dodge diagonally to give way: if the enemy strikes at my lower part with his legs, I can pounce with my hand. The main point of this move is that my left foot dodges to the left; The right foot retracts with the momentum of the flash, and the soles of the feet point to the right virtual step, while the hands are pushed forward and pressed against the opponent's legs.

In the end, Zhang Shixing taught him a trick to remove the armor, the main point of this move is that the upper body is not moving, the waist is twisted to the right, the center of gravity is moved forward, and the legs are in a right lunge; At the same time, the left palm is cleaved from top to bottom with the momentum of the rotation; The right palm is placed behind the body with the momentum of the turn, this move is the method of even hitting and falling, the fist trick cloud: throwing the shelf to grab the step to hang, make up for the leg that is afraid of his knowledge, the right horizontal and left pick fast as flying, and the frame does not know the world with a palm. I stumbled down the enemy, and if the enemy defused the counterattack, I took advantage of the opponent's hand, and at the same time slashed the enemy's elbow with my left palm, causing him to fall.

Zhang Shixing and Wang Shu practiced repeatedly for a long time, and Wang Shu finally understood the mystery of these three moves, and finally made it look decent.

Zhang Shixing said to Wang Shu: "These three moves are all soft and rigid, defensive counterattack, you can't use it until you have to, don't chase the enemy when you retreat." ”

Wang Shu arched his hand and said, "Obey, second senior brother." ”

On the day of parting, Zhu Yunwen led Zhang Shixing and Huang Zhan to send Wang Shu to the dock of Naha Port.

Zhang Shixing said: "This Ryukyu country is a small place, with a radius of only dozens of miles, that is, the domain of my Ming County, how can I send such a large fleet to pay tribute?" ”

Shen Daocheng smiled: "Brother Zhang, you don't know this. Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is small, it is divided into three countries, namely Shannan Province, Shanbei Province, and Zhongshan Province. This Zhongshan Kingdom was the first to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Taizu Gao gave the 36 surnames of our Fujian people to Zhongshan together with the sea ships, so as to facilitate their tribute. Later, when the Shannan and Shanbei kingdoms received the news, they also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and Taizu treated everyone equally, regardless of each other, so the tributary missions of the Ryukyus were the largest among the overseas countries. ”

Zhang Shixing took a closer look at the flags fluttering on those sea ships, and sure enough, he found the words "Shannan Ming Envoy", Shanbei Ming Envoy, and Zhongshan Ming Envoy. After looking at it for a long time, he noticed something strange again, and said to Shen Daocheng: "I think there seem to be more envoys from Shannan, why is this?" ”

Shen Daocheng gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "It's really good eyesight." There is an uncle in this Shannan country, named Wang Ziying, who is powerful, and does not take the king Chengtian in his eyes, and organizes another delegation to pay tribute on his own, so there are two groups of people in Shannan who go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and often fight. I don't know if this tribute will start again. ”

While he was talking, a group of people rushed over the dock, led by a lean man, riding on a tall horse, like a monkey riding on it, very funny, only to see the man wave the whip in his hand, and his men rushed towards another group of people, and among the other group of people was a short and sturdy man, who drew a long knife and beckoned his men to meet him, and the two groups of people were in a scuffle.

Zhang Shixing asked Shen Daocheng: "What is the origin of these two groups of people, why are they fighting here, could it be that they are the two tributary missions of Shannan Kingdom?" ”

Shen Daocheng nodded and said: "You guessed right, these two groups of people are the two factions of Shannan Kingdom, the one who rode the horse was Wang Yingzu, the son of Wang Ziying, the king of Shannan, and the sturdy man was the subordinate of King Chengtian of Shannan. ”

They watched the boat for a while, and saw that Nabazhi was gradually defeated due to the small number of people, and there were only a few people left around him, and they would not retreat from the fight to the death.

That Wang Yingzu pointed at Ba Zhi with a horsewhip and said: "Ba Zhi, as long as you don't pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty this time, I will spare your life." ”

Naba Zhi said angrily: "We are representing the orthodox mission of Shannan Kingdom, so we can't go." Wang Yingzu, did you attack the mission and want to usurp the throne? ”

Wang Yingzu laughed and said: "My father paid tribute to the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of horses, tens of thousands of catties of sulfur, and thousands of catties of sumu, which is more than double the total number of tributes paid by your three kingdoms. ”

Naba Zhi shouted: "Wang Yingzu, if you bully the weak, God will definitely punish you." ”

Wang Yingzu's body trembled, laughed even harder, and almost fell off his horse, saying: "Where in this world is there any God, it's just a trick to scare children." ”

Zhang Shixing was indignant when he was listening, and when he saw Wang Yingzu, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu's father and son, and he looked at the pale and weak Zhu Yunwen next to him, and Chengtian, the king of Shannan, is not a copy of Zhu Yunwen. The Ba Zhi who fought with the enemy on the dock is undoubtedly a portrayal of himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shixing was furious, he jumped off the boat, took three steps and made two steps, flew to Wang Yingzuma, and stretched out his hand to grab him.

Wang Yingzu was shocked, and whipped at his head, Zhang Shixing turned his head slightly, his body did not stop, he reached out and grabbed Wang Yingzu's wrist, and dragged him off the horse with a force.

Wang Yingzu fell heavily to the ground, Zhang Shixing stepped forward and stepped on his chest, and Wang Yingzu howled like a pig.

Seeing this, his subordinates gave up Ba Zhi and gathered around Zhang Shixing, Zhang Shixing's body did not move, pointing east and west, and instantly knocked down more than ten people under Wang Yingzu, and the rest of the people stood far away and did not dare to step forward.

Over there, Ba Zhi took the opportunity to order his subordinates to pull anchor and set sail, and the rest of the Ming envoys saw the Shannan ship set sail, and they also raised their sails and sailed away from the port, but Wang Yingzu's tributary ship did not follow the order and did not dare to move, and it was still parked in the port.

Zhu Yunwen and others also said goodbye to Shen Daocheng and Wang Shu, and got off the boat and came to the dock.

Wang Yingzu saw that Zhang Shixing was born and was not like a native of the Ryukyus, so he shouted angrily: "Where are you a barbarian who dares to fight the brother of the king of Shannan?" I'm going to let you die a bad death. ”

Zhang Shixing stepped on him vigorously and scolded: "I hate bullying the small and bullying the weak the most in my life, and if you meet me today, you are unlucky." ”

Wang Yingzu screamed in pain, and repeatedly told forgiveness: "A good man spares his life, I know that I am wrong." ”

At this time, Ba Zhi came over and pointed at Zhang Shixing, and said to Wang Yingzu: "Little prince, this is the martial arts instructor I invited from Daming, just to prevent you from coming to compete with us for tribute, if you are willing to stop, I will let this sect leader let you go, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yingzu nodded again and again and said, "Okay, okay, we will stop the war and send tribute to each other." ”

Ba Zhi arched his hand at Zhang Shixing and said: "Sect leader, please let go of the little prince, I invite you to the house for a talk and have a glass of water and wine, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Shixing saw that he was humble and polite, and his bearing was extraordinary, so he let go of Wang Yingzu and said politely: "Thank you for your promotion, and I will follow what you say." ”

Wang Yingzu got up and walked away with his subordinates, and his ship also left Naha Port.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen and others stepped forward, and Zhang Shixing introduced Ba Zhi one by one. Only then did Ba Zhi know that they were a group of monks from the Ming Dynasty who were currently living in the Tangying Confucian Temple.

But he saw that Zhu Yunwen had a kind of wealth and wealth, and there was a resentment between his eyebrows, where did he have the appearance of a high-ranking monk. The eldest apprentice Huang Zhan is like a well-educated Confucian, not like a monk at all. The second apprentice, Zhang Shixing, is not even a lay disciple, and he looks like a chivalrous hero.

Ba Zhi was suspicious, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all, and he was grateful to Zhang Shixing, and he must take him to Sashiki City to get together.

Zhu Yunwen didn't want to do much, so he couldn't refuse.

Ba Zhi persuaded: "Brother Zhang offended Wang Yingzu today, he will definitely come to take revenge." Most of the people in the Tang camp went to Quanzhou City with the ship to pay tribute, only the old and weak women and children remained, once he led the troops to attack, not only you had to accompany your life, but even the people of the Tang camp could not be spared. My left side of the city is high and deep, and it is difficult for Wang's father and son to take it for a while, so you can save your lives without worry. I just said to Wang Yingzu that Brother Zhang was the head of the sect hired by me, just to make him jealous, if you don't go, both of us will do a lot of harm and no benefit. ”

Zhu Yunwen heard that what he said was reasonable, so he had to agree to go to Zuofu City together.
