Chapter 17: The Water Ghosts of the Yalu River (2)
When Du Heng and them were fighting fiercely in the water, Luo Shiyin led Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji and others to carefully inspect the bodies of the killed Japanese ninjas. They found that each corpse had a wyvern tattooed on its back. Luo Shiyin called Xie Yuan to his side, wanting to hear his opinion.
Xie Yuan is a civilian in Jinyiwei. The Ming Emperor often received envoys from various countries, and as the emperor's close bodyguard, the position of translator was indispensable in the brocade guard. Xie Yuannian was sent by the imperial court to study abroad, he was proficient in many languages such as Japanese, Korean, Tatar, etc., and had studied the customs and customs of the above-mentioned countries and regions, and was deeply valued by the Mingshen Sect.
Xie Yuan carefully looked at the flying dragon pattern on the corpse, and said to Luo Shiyin in an affirmative tone: "This pattern is the unique pattern of the 'Koga Harmony Society', the largest ninja group in the Wa Kingdom. The members of the Koga Kokomonkai were all strong martial arts Koga ninjas, and they played a great role in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's war to pacify the various tribes of the Wa Kingdom, and they were highly regarded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After the outbreak of the War, the Koga Tongxin Society sent elite members to Korea to act as spies for the Japanese army that invaded Korea. The number one master of the Koga Tongxin Society is a Japanese woman nicknamed 'Flower Butterfly', who is good at hurting people with the Bafang shuriken, and is also proficient in our Ming language and Korean language. ”
"Brother Shi Lang was injured by the Hagon Shuriken, and the masked ninja who threw the Hagoon Shuriken is a woman, I'm sure." Ye Ruliu interjected.
"It's very likely that she is the 'flower butterfly'." Xie Yuan judged.
After listening to Xie Yuan and Ye Ruliu's words, Luo Shiyin nodded thoughtfully, did not speak, and then turned around and looked at the river calmly.
A small boat slowly approached the shore.
"Report to the Commander, I have been waiting here for a long time in accordance with your orders." Before the boat was completely stable, the person dressed as a Taoist priest loudly reported to Luo Shiyin on the shore.
"Good work." Luo Shiyin beckoned to everyone on board.
In fact, the Taoist priest and the other two black men were pawns in the entire layout arranged by Luo Shiyin in advance. As early as when he set out from the capital, he received news that there were Japanese spies infiltrating Liaodong, and the target was probably the team he led. Along the way, the team did not notice any disturbances along the way. But when he entered the small town of Dandong, Luo Shiyin had a vague premonition: These Japanese people may be going to do it. Because Dandong is the last stop of the detachment before leaving the country, this place is close to the border, and once the other party is in danger after making a move, they can easily withdraw to North Korea. And their most convenient departure route is the Yalu River between China and North Korea. Therefore, Luo Shiyin Feige passed a message, ordering the small banner commander Hua Xianzu of Zhejiang Jinyi Wei Yamen, who was about to arrive at the border rendezvous, to rush to the Yalu River, and once the Japanese people were evacuated from here, they would be intercepted and killed on the spot.
The person dressed as a Taoist priest is the ancestor of Hua.
In his early years, the Chinese ancestor was sent to Zhejiang by the imperial court to supervise the local officials' resistance to the Japanese. In the course of a search mission, he met an old Taoist priest who was injured by the Japanese robbers, when the Taoist priest was dying, Hua Xianzu studied Chinese medicine with his father in his early years, and knew some medical knowledge, he sent the Taoist priest back to the Taoist temple, and stayed to heal his wounds, and the Taoist priest slowly recovered his health.
At that time, Hua Xianzu did not tell the Taoist priest his identity. The Taoist priest was grateful to the ancestors of Hua. This Taoist priest is a master who teaches spells through the channel. In order to thank the Taoist ancestor for saving his life, the Taoist priest hoped to teach the Hua ancestor some spells in return, he took out a yellowed thread-bound book from a small box under the statue of the heavenly master in the Taoist temple, which recorded the Taoist priest's summary of the Taoist Qimen spells 38 kinds, namely: 1, immortality, 2, anti-face, 3, rejuvenation, 4, resurrection, 5, fast aging, 6, fake death, 7, heart and intestine extraction, 8, change, 9, doppelganger, 10, invisibility, 11, ascension, 12, Tengyun, 13, Climbing the Sky, 14, Buxu, 15, Decapitated Regeneration, 16, Shenxing, 17, Shrinking the Earth, 18, Fubo, 19, Water Division, 20, Walking Water, 21, Inviting Gods, 22, Foresight, 23, Dividing the Land for the River, 24, Raising Stones and Leveling Mountains, 25, Piercing the Wall, 26, Xu Xingzhi Chasing, 27, Spraying Wine and Extinguishing Fire, 28, Intimidating People, 29, Flower Destroying, 30, Seed Rapid Technique, 31, Beast Technique, 32, Writing into Reality, 33, Danding Technique, 34, Fu Gong Technique, 35, Room Technique, 36, Three Flavors True Fire Technique, 37, Soul Wandering Technique, 38, Spiritualism. The Taoist priest showed this book with various spell cultivation secrets to Ancestor Hua to see, hoping that he could choose a few spells that he was interested in. To be honest, at that time, Ancestor Hua didn't believe in this kind of Shinto and Taoist things at all, but it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and he was really embarrassed to sweep away the interest of the old Taoist. Hua Xianzu didn't know which spell to choose, so he asked Lao Dao's advice politely. The old Taoist priest circled around Hua Ancestor with a lot of concern, and his mouth was full of sighs: "In the eyes of the poor Dao, a strong man is born with a good foot strength, if you don't learn this magic technique, it's a pity, a pity!" "Master, what's so wonderful about this magic technique?" Hearing Lao Dao's praise, Ancestor Hua became a little curious. "The magic technique taught by the poor road, as long as the strong man practices it carefully, he can ensure that you can travel 800 miles a day." "Is it really that powerful?" Hua Xianzu was a little unconvinced. "Cultivators do not lie. The strong man is the life-saving benefactor of the poor road, how dare the poor road be child's play. Besides, the poor Dao wants to teach you this magic technique, and it also values the good foot strength that a strong man is born with. Hua Xianzu felt that there was some truth in what the Taoist priest said, and if he could really practice the magical foot strength of 800 per day as the old Taoist said, it would also be helpful for his Jinyi Guard profession. Hua Xianzu made up his mind and immediately worshipped Lao Tao as a teacher.
This old Taoist technique requires the practitioner to wear Taoist robes, cloud boots on his feet, two armored horses tied to his legs, and an exclusive Taoist mantra.
Lao Dao didn't look at the wrong person, in addition to the excellent congenital physical condition, Hua Xianzu also had a high level of understanding. It didn't take long for Hua Ancestor to fully grasp all the essentials of this divine technique, and he was able to make wind on his feet when he practiced the method, like a cloud urging fog.
Hua Xianzu accidentally obtained this thaumaturgy, and his heart was very happy. In order to thank the Taoist priest for his kindness, he used the power in his hands to get the local county to allocate funds to rebuild the Taoist temple. In his spare time, Hua Ancestor often went to the Taoist temple to practice other spells with the Taoist priest.
The magic of Shenxing brought great convenience to the ancestors of Hua, and the news that King Duan had colluded with the Japanese to prepare a rebellion was sent to the capital by him overnight.
often followed that Taoist priest to practice spells, so that Hua Xianzu gradually got used to the feeling of being clothed in Taoist robes, so that he was often dressed as a fairy wind and Dao bones, plus he was good at using a long spike seven-star sword, which gave people the feeling of being a strange person.
Once, Hua Xianzu wore Taoist clothes and traveled hundreds of miles overnight, sending an important piece of information from Zhejiang to the capital and handing it over to Luo Shiyin. Luo Shiyin looked at Hua Xianzu's Taoist costume, and immediately jokingly gave him a nickname: Peerless Dao Chief.
As for the two blacks under Hua Xianzu, they were originally black slaves purchased from the Portuguese by the Zhejiang gentry. By chance, Hua Xianzu discovered that these two black men had extraordinary visual and hearing abilities, one could see objects the size of soybeans from a distance of a kilometer, and the other could hear subtle sounds from a distance, and both of them could eat fish and shrimp raw, and lurk underwater for two or three days in a row. Hua Xianzu bought two black men from the gentry and named them clairvoyant and shunfeng ear respectively. Hua Xianzu not only found someone to train them in underwater combat, lurking, swimming and other skills, but also specially asked someone to tailor two water guns for the two black men. The barrel of the water gun is forged from stainless steel, two meters long, the head of the gun is an extremely sharp double-edged spear, and the tail is a crossbow-like firing device, as long as the trigger is pulled, it will fire a refined short arrow, the short arrow is connected to the gun body by a line, and can be pulled back for reuse after being shot. Since Hua Xianzu had these two right-hand men, he has performed many miraculous feats for the imperial court when he carried out maritime missions in the future.
After Luo Shiyin briefly introduced the heroes from all walks of life, he hurried over to check Shi Lang's injuries.
Ye Ruliu took Shi Lang in his arms and called Shi Lang softly.
"It's not in the way, I have already dressed his wound on the boat just now, and it didn't hurt the vital point," Hua Xianzu comforted Ye Ruliu.
Shi Lang woke up.
"Brother Shi Lang, you've woken up!" Ye Ruliu saw Shi Lang wake up and said happily.
"It's okay, I can't die yet." Shi Lang saw Ye Ruliu and the brothers surrounding him, and said jokingly. He looked around a little and immediately recognized Ancestor Hua.
"It's Commander Hua." Shi Lang greeted Ancestor Hua.
"yes, he and his two black brothers just saved you." Without waiting for Ancestor Hua to speak, Du Heng hurriedly said.
"Then thank you Commander Hua for saving your life!" Shi Lang said gratefully.
"You're welcome, they're all my own brothers." Hua Xianzu said with a little modesty.
At this point, all the heroes of the team going to North Korea have arrived.
Luo Shiyin gave an order: cross the river!
