Chapter 1 Losing my own mountains makes my women colorless

Ming Hongwu twenty-one years (AD 1388) April 11 night, the sky oblique moon like a hook, the stars are dotted, the fishing sea reflects the stars and the moon, sparkling, the surrounding is an endless prairie, mid-spring April, the grass is newborn, the shallow grass just has no horseshoe, everywhere is filled with the fragrance of wild flowers. Dozens of miles on the south bank of the fishing sea, under a small hill, a white yurt was set up, a bonfire was lit in front of the yurt, three people sat around the bonfire, a man and a woman were middle-aged, a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, obviously the family was gossiping.

Although the middle-aged woman had a weathered face, she was still pretty, and said with a smile: "Brother without disease, you have never set foot in the Central Plains for more than 20 years, and you have ever regretted it when you accompany me to herd horses and sheep in this bitter cold land in the north of the desert?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, held the woman's soft and said, "Ulan, as long as I am with you, this place will be as straight as heaven." ”

Na Wulan smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Wuxi, after so many years, your mouth is still so sweet." Just like when we first met in Zhangjiakou. ”

Na Wuzhi said: "I think that at the beginning, you and your father went to Zhangjiakou to sell cattle and horses, and met bandits on the road, but fortunately I had a few hands of internal boxing kung fu and beat away the bandits, and you fell in love with me." ”

Ulan giggled and said: "Forget it, you don't have to brag, your two and three-legged cat kung fu is still strong, and it's not thanks to my father who released a few arrows and shot down the bandit leader, you almost lost your life." ”

Wuxian took a sip and said: "You don't want to underestimate our internal boxing kung fu, it's just that I am stupid and not proficient in learning, if my master is present, I can clean up those thieves in three or two clicks." It's just that after many years, I can't ask the master, and I don't know if his old man's body is healthy? ”

The young man leaned on his father's lap and asked, "Daddy, I always heard you mention how good your grandfather's kung fu is, can you tell me more about it?" ”

Na Wuxian recalled the past, and said leisurely: "Our inner family fist was passed on from Wudang Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng passed on Sun Thirteen, and Sun Thirteen passed on to my master Zhang Songxi. Our internal boxing pays attention to the preemptive strike, and one blow must be hit. Guy because our inner boxing enemy will hit its acupoints, the human body has 36 acupoints such as faint acupoints, dumb acupoints, dead acupoints, etc., and the acupoints are lightly and heavily hit, one move to defeat the enemy, no one who is refreshed. Therefore, our inner boxing is not close relatives and friends, and we do not teach each other. ”

The young man asked, "We are also surnamed Zhang, so Grandpa is also our relative?" ”

Zhang Wuzhi said: "It can also be regarded as a distant cousin of mine." Our family was originally in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and then came to Beiping to open a pharmacy, and we knew a little kung fu and knew some techniques for bone healing. That year, Master came to Beiping from Yin County to visit relatives and friends, unfortunately contracted the wind cold, and rested in our house for more than a month, seeing that I was smart and clever, he passed on my inner boxing method, let me practice diligently, and said that I will have great success in the future. ”

Ulan interjected: "I didn't see you become famous and have a family. ”

Zhang Wuzhi said angrily: "It's not because of you, you have been herding horses and sheep all day long, and you have wasted your efforts." ”

The young man said, "Daddy, why did you follow my mother to the grassland, you can tell me about it." ”

Zhang Wuxian said: "I've said it many times, you haven't heard enough." That year, I went to Zhangjiakou to sell medicinal herbs, met your mother, and saved the lives of their grandfather and son, and she fell in love with me. At that time, my father and mother died, I was alone, she lied to me that there was a shortage of doctors and medicines on the grassland, and she would make a fortune when she came, so I followed, who knew that she promised to be personal, and then with you, your grandfather also died, leaving only our family of three to depend on each other. ”

Ulan scratched his cheek with his fingers, made a grimace and said: "Lying in front of Battle, you are not ashamed, obviously you came to the grassland with us with a dead face, if it wasn't for my father falling off the horse that day, you took the bones, I wouldn't have married you." ”

Zhang Wuxi waved his hand again and again, made a surrender and said: "Good, good, good, everything is my own doing." ”

He paused, looked at his son Battle, and said distressedly: "Shixing is getting older, you can't fool around on the grassland anymore, you have to study more, practice kung fu diligently, and go to Beiping and Ningbo to do a career in the future." ”

Ulan glanced at him and said: "What's wrong with the grassland, you are free, eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in a big bowl, cry when you want to, laugh when you want to laugh." ”

Zhang Wuzhi said urgently: "But he is a Han after all, and he wants to return to the Han land and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." ”

Ulan also roared: "He is also a Mongolian, his name is Battle, you ask him if he wants to stay on the grassland, or go to Beiping and Ningbo." ”

Zhang Shixing was a little cramped under the eager gaze of both parents, although the grassland was good, everything was casual and natural, but in his father's description, the prosperity and wealth of Han land had been floating in his mind, which was really desirable, he said excitedly: "Mother, I want to go to Han to have a good time, and when I am old, I will go back to the grassland to accompany you." ”

Wulan was a little unhappy, stood up and yelled at the two of them: "Get out, get out, get out of here, go back to your Beiping Mansion." ”

Zhang Shixing stuck out his tongue and said to his father: "My mother is angry. ”

Zhang Wuxian said: "Don't pay attention to her, I'll test you, what is the five-character formula of Neijiaquan?" ”

Zhang Shixing replied: "Surprise, tight, path, respect, cut five words." ”

Zhang Wuxian asked, "Do you know the deep meaning of these five words?" ”

Zhang Shixing shook his head and said, "I don't really understand." ”

Zhang Wuxian stood up, slowly unfolded the inner boxing method, and said while fighting: "One is the shocker, when the battle is matched, there is fiction and reality, the so-called shocker is virtual, and the person who takes the law is real." It seems to be shocked and really taken, and it seems to be taken and really surprised. The use of reality and reality is in one mind. The second is the tight, the door is always guarded, the two hands should be the chest, the line is left and right to protect the ribs, and the blow is not exhaustive. The loop goes back and forth, and it goes on and on. Shrink your feet and follow them, and don't do anything high. It can advance sharply and retreat quickly. The mind is always aware of it, and it does not make the mind faint. There must be a basis for standing, and there must be a way to attack. Concentrate and concentrate, and all the bones are bundled. Cowering and cringinging. The so-called art of war is as quiet as a virgin. Take advantage of the enemy's gap to figure out. The third is the path, and the so-called movement is like a rabbit. Peek into the gaps, don't crash the machine, do your best, and hit with one blow. If a cat catches a mouse, if a tiger pounces on a sheep. The four are strong, punching vigorously, the eyes to the body, the body to the step, the step to the hand, the hand to the strength, so that the enemy is defenseless. Qi is born from the feet, from the feet to the legs, from the legs to the waist, from the waist to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the elbows, from the elbows to the hands, and all in one breath. Inner and outer triad, hands and feet, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, heart and mind, mind and qi, qi and strength. As the so-called body shape, the force makes a line, and the force has always been, and the thousands of miles kill. Five for the cut, is the so-called Ding Ding to solve the cow, take advantage of the gap to enter, with ease, the knife is very small, Huo Ran has been solved, hit its vital point, one move to kill the enemy. These five characters are like the wisdom of soldiers, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness. ”

After Zhang Wuxian finished fighting, he just finished speaking, and after he closed his momentum, he said to Zhang Shixing: "You come to practice." ”

Zhang Shixing hit it again, and Zhang Wuxi nodded and said, "There are some appearances." There are 72 ways to fight and 25 ways to grab the boxing in my house, but the boxing is expensive, not expensive, the practice is skillful, and the six roads are also endless. You should carefully understand the five-character formula. ”

Zhang Shixing punched for a while, sweating slightly on his forehead, then Wulan walked out of the tent, brought a bowl of milk and handed it to his son, Zhang Shixing took it, and drank it in a gulp.

Suddenly, Zhang Wuxian's face changed, Ulan saw this, and was about to ask, Zhang Wuxian made a gesture, so that she was not allowed to make a sound, and listened to the ground, although Ulan did not know martial arts, at this moment he also faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, like spring thunder rolling in.

Zhang Wuxi let out a low sigh: "It's not good! Then he got up, kicked the bonfire away, pulled up Ulan and Zhang Shixing and ran to the back mountain, Ulan ran out of breath, and asked: "Brother Wuxi, who is here?" ”

Zhang Wuxian said as he ran: "I don't know, it's about the Ming army, so it's better for us to avoid it." ”

Wulan exclaimed: "The Ming army is thousands of miles away from here, how can it come overnight, I'm afraid it's not the Yuan army?" ”

Zhang Wuxian said: "Those who come are all wearing iron armor instead of leather armor. Ulan was silent when he heard this.

It turned out that since Zhang Wuxian settled in the grassland with Ulan, the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had already fled to Shangdu (located in the territory of the Blue Banner of the Xilin Gol League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Emperor Yuan Shun regrouped, and the Ming army of the Northern Expedition was in full swing after several battles, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated and won less, the loss of troops and generals, the capital was lost, Emperor Yuan Shun was frightened and collapsed, and the Northern Yuan general Wang Baobao also died depressed, at this time the reigning was the second son of Emperor Yuan Shun, Timur, because of his year name Tianyuan, known as Emperor Tianyuan in history. Emperor Tianyuan in order to avoid the sharp edge of the Ming army, so the Khan court was withdrawn to the shore of the fishing sea (now Inner Mongolia Bear Lake) thousands of miles away from the capital, the Ulan family is a free people, not belonging to any ten thousand households, so they graze in the place of sixty or seventy miles away from the Northern Yuan Khan's court, and if they are separated from other Mongolian people, they can also take care of each other. Although Zhang Wuzhi and his beloved wife live in pursuit of water and grass, he thinks that he is a Han person, and whenever the Ming army and the Yuan army fight, he takes his wife and children to avoid the sidelines, and the two do not help each other. After the Northern Yuan Dynasty lost the Central Plains, after several wars, there was a shortage of iron tools, and it was difficult to find a piece of iron pot and shovel every day, let alone iron armor, although Zhang Wuzhi's internal strength was shallow, but on the grassland, in the dead of night, he heard the sound of iron armor choking far away, and instantly knew that the person who came was the Ming army, not the Yuan army.

Zhang Wuxian pulled Wulan and Zhang Shixing to walk on the grass like flying, and after a while, he came to the bottom of the small hillside, he suddenly stopped, turned around, pushed Wulan's back, and said urgently: "Wulan, you take the child and go quickly." ”

Ulan was shocked when he heard this, Zhang Wuxian was quite calm on weekdays, but at this moment, she wanted her mother and son to go first, it can be seen that the situation has reached a critical juncture, Ulan pushed Zhang Shixing's back, and said in a low voice: "Battle, you run up the mountain to hide, and your father and mother will come to look for you in a while." ”

Zhang Shixing has always been obedient, pulled his legs and ran to the mountain, while running he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air to his back, he turned his head to look, only to see his father Zhang Wuxian stabbed the robe on his body in half, his hands danced like wheels, arrows in mid-air rained down, some of the arrows shot into the robe, some were beaten to scatter in all directions, Zhang Wuxi danced the robe, plucked up internal strength, like two shields, protected the surrounding place, while dancing and retreating, Ulan hid behind him, saw Zhang Shixing stop, looked back, and said loudly: " Battle, run. ”

Zhang Shixing didn't dare to stay, he pulled his feet and ran to the hillside, Kankan had reached the top of the mountain, and then looked back, the people and horses under the hillside were mixed, the swords collided, and the sound of fighting and shouting was endless, his parents had already fought with a large group of Ming troops in one place, he was about to run down the mountain to help, but he tripped over a stone under his feet, fell to the ground with a stumble, and fell down the hill along the other side of the hill, and rolled down the hill with a goock, his head hit a rock, and suddenly the world was spinning, and he didn't know who was going to know. When he woke up, the sky was already bright and his headache was splitting, he struggled to sit up, rubbed his injured sideburns, and the blood had already congealed. He looked around blankly, the surrounding area was still the vast grassland, colorful flowers swaying in the wind, butterflies flying up and down in the grass, goshawks hovering in the air, but there was no figure, everything was quiet, only the songworms, last night's events, suddenly like a dream.
