Huang Bingwen, Hu Jiuguan and others went to hunt for treasure with hope, and after more than a day's voyage according to the navigation chart, they came to an archipelago, and landed on the largest island, and found that this place was not a "desert island" as the prince said, and they met many fishermen with the Fujian dialect on the island.

The fishermen thought that they landed on the island to find fresh water, and warmly received them, during the meal, Huang Bingwen inquired about the customs here, and the name of this island is Diaoyutai Islands, and there are a series of island chains such as Chiwei Yu, Huangwei Yu, Nanxiao Island, and North Island, and the black cháo flows through this sea area, which will bring a large number of fish, so the fishermen along the coast of Daming have been fishing here to make a living since ancient times.

The Diaoyu Islands are from Fujian, TaiWan to the Ryukyu must pass through, His Majesty the Ming Emperor canonized the envoy of the Ryukyu King, generally from Fujian Min'an Town out of the Five Tiger Gate, through the chicken hangtou, through the vase island, Pengjia Mountain, in the Diaoyu Islands to replenish fresh water, and then through Huangwei Yu, Chiwei Yu, take Gumi Mountain, Horse Tooth Island, and finally into the Ryukyu Naha Port.

After thanking these kind fishermen, Hu Jiuguan and the others took a turn on the island within a radius of ten miles, and found the Mazu Temple on the top of the mountain.

A fisherman explained: Last year, the imperial court sent a canonization envoy to Ryukyu to Naha through this place to canonize the fourth lord of the Ryukyu Shang clan, King Shoyong, and on the way back to China, he brought back four "strange people", who lived in this Mazu temple, and the envoy took special care of the fishermen on the island, not to disturb them easily, and not to make a public announcement.

Some people in the temple sometimes go to the sea to fish, sometimes they also look for fishermen to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, but never speak, once someone with curiosity, broke into the Mazu temple to take a look, said that there is a monster living in it, after returning home, scared for several days can not sleep, and then the person went crazy.

The rumors of the fishermen made the pirates even more convinced that there was a treasure cave under the Mazu Temple, and perhaps the imperial court knew this secret, so the canonization envoy left the martial arts master to be responsible for guarding. It seems that the prince, who has a hostage in his hand, hopes to let Huang Bingwen, Hu Jiuguan and others do it as soon as possible before the imperial court sends someone to dig up the treasure.

Hu Jiuguan and the others got together to discuss, and decided to simply do nothing and kill the people on the island. So, they took advantage of the dark moon and high wind night to kill the fishermen who lived in the hermitage, and immediately ran to the Mazu Temple.

At this time, a bonfire was burning in the courtyard of the Mazu Temple, and the lights were still on in the house, and the people inside might not have slept yet.

Hearing the movement outside, three black-clothed people came out of the house, they showed their scimitars, and the pirates were scuffled together, thinking that it would take a lot of trouble to deal with martial arts masters, but they didn't expect that before Huang Bingwen could make a move, they died under the knife of Hu Jiuguan and others.

Suddenly, there was a sad and miserable song from the Mazu Temple, followed by flames on the roof, and in less than an hour, the temple turned to ashes under the strong sea breeze......

After extinguishing the wood that had not yet been burned, and finding the metal mask that had been burned red, it did look like a monster on his face, Huang Bingwen couldn't help but wonder, who is the person living in the Mazu Temple?

At this time, the pirates couldn't wait to start digging, uncovered more than a dozen bluestone slabs in a row, and finally found the treasure cave, Hu Jiuguan threw a stone inside, listening to the sound to judge, this hole is not too deep, so they held torches into the hole, just as Huang Bingwen was about to go down, suddenly heard a scream from below......

After a while, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the torches in the cave were extinguished, and at this time, in addition to Huang Bingwen, there were two little pirates left on the ground, they looked at the dark entrance of the cave, although they were very afraid, but they were not reconciled.

The two pirates forced Huang Bingwen to jump down to take a look, but Huang Bingwen did not comply, and the three of them fought together, and as a result, he was thrown into a hole by the pirates and broke a leg.

There was a lot of water in the treasure cave, and he couldn't see anything, Huang Bingwen touched it casually, and found that the one next to him was like a hedgehog, it must have been that they touched some mechanism, and they were all killed by ** arrows, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to change it again.

Suddenly, Huang Bingwen felt a gust of wind coming into the cave, and then, he heard the two pirates screaming miserably, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a giant python entrenched at the entrance of the cave, and immediately fainted with fright......

At dawn, Huang Bingwen, who was trapped in the cave, woke up, the giant python had already left the entrance of the cave, and with the help of the faint light, he found that there were several mechanisms in the cave, however, under the touch of Hu Jiuguan and others, all the hidden weapons were gone, so he stomped hard, only to hear the sound below, judging that the treasure should still be underground, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

Guarding the pirate's huge treasure, but did not eat or drink, for two days in a row, Huang Bingwen was so hungry that he was dying, at this moment, he looked back on the experience of the past three years, and instantly realized what good and evil are, and when he was praying for the afterlife, he suddenly heard someone talking at the entrance of the cave.

So, Huang Bingwen listened attentively, listened for a long time but did not understand a word, took out the last bit of strength, let out a miserable scream, and attracted the Western missionaries looking for fresh water.

The missionaries sent someone to rescue Huang Bingwen from the cave, sent him to their boat, and brought water and food for him to eat.

to devour

At this time, several sailors tried to strike up a conversation with him in various dialects, and one of them could speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Bingwen finally understood, and they were asking what was going on on the island? At this moment, he did not dare to tell the truth, claiming that he was a merchant from the Ryukyus, and that he had encountered pirates on the island, and begged them to send him back to Naha Port.

The missionary refused Wong's request, and he had to follow the galleon to Rì, where he found that it was loaded with muskets, artillery, and ammunition, and Wong realized that the Westerners did not dare to pass through the Ryukyus for fear of being investigated.

The merchant ships arrived at the town of Tsubo in southern Kyushu, and the missionaries completed the deal and sent Huang Bingwen to the church.

After living in the church for a few days, Huang Bingwen found that those devout believers, rich and poor, seemed to be very happy, and after the missionary's enlightenment, he finally understood what "ultimate care" was......

Later, when the Western missionary left, the local priest, disgusted that he was a cripple, threw him out of the church, and threw him out of the church.

At this time, Huang Bingwen has already understood the meaning of "faith", there is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to keep a master! Thinking that the handsome young man who practiced Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer also took refuge in the temple, so, he dragged one leg and climbed to Kagoshima Taihei Temple, perhaps unfortunately, he met Shimazu Yoshihisa who was preparing to go on an expedition and was holding a dojo, disgusted that he was a cripple, and didn't even let him enter the door.

Huang Bingwen, who was dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, didn't want to leave, and a kind-hearted person even said and made a gesture to persuade him to leave quickly, and Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted to take him to sacrifice the flag. So, with a sad mood, Huang Bingwen climbed back to the Jinfang Town Cathedral, and met Guo Yi and Xu Linger while begging......

After hearing Huang Bingwen's encounter, Xu Linger and Guo Yi sighed.

Waking up from a nightmare, Huang Bingwen said sincerely: "If you want to find that treasure, I can take you there, help you clear the mechanism in the cave, pry open the stone slab underneath, even if you die there, I will never regret it." ”

As for whether Huang Bingwen had really repented, the two of them couldn't believe it, and glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.

"For me, there is no difference between being dead and living, I heard that Tang Jing also came a few days ago, and all the people here hate me to the core, I am not afraid that they will beat me or scold me, I just want to do my best to accumulate virtue and do good, eliminate sinful karma, and make amends to everyone. It's just that I may never see Lord Hai again in the future......" Huang Bingwen burst into tears.

According to the agreement reached between Simon Almeida and Oda Nobunaga, the task of trafficking new arquebuses from Manila is very likely to be handed over to Mark, Xu Ling'er couldn't help but ask: "Huang Bingwen, may I ask what is the name of the missionary who rescued you?" ”

"Some people call him Manest, some people call him Maxan, anyway, it's everything, only I call him Mr. Engongma, but everyone laughs at it......"

Before Huang Bingwen finished speaking, Xu Linger hurriedly said: "Sister, it's really him!" With that, he lowered his head crimson.

Guo Yi knew Xu Ling'er's mental journey very well, and also knew that Mark was deliberately pursuing Xu Ling'er, combined with Huang Bingwen's statement, he knew that Mark was helping Oda Nobunaga sell muskets, so he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Sister, we must stop Mark's actions!" ”

Because Huang Bingwen didn't know what to do, he was stunned when he heard it, and said cautiously: "My Engongma is kind-hearted, it is he who buried the poor people on the Diaoyu Islands and made a mass. ”

"Huang Bingwen, where did the Western missionary Mark go?" Guo Yi asked sharply.

"It is said that he has returned to Manila." Huang Bingwen bowed his head and replied.

Xu Ling'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister, how can we stop Mark?" ”

"They passed through the Ryukyus and did not dare to dock, which shows that the Ryukyu government is very strict in its investigation, and they will definitely not be allowed to do anything, and we must go to meet King Shangyong for a while and ask them to send troops to intercept them at sea." Guo Yi replied.

Xu Ling'er asked cautiously: "Sister, it is not yet known whether King Shang Yong will buy our face, and there is still a prince who is secretly making an obstruction." In addition, we have all seen the power of the musket array, and the officers and soldiers of the Ryukyu Kingdom are not necessarily opponents of the Westerners, so how will they end up in the event of defeat? ”

Huang Bingwen continued: "Two girls, I don't know if you know that it was actually the prince who denounced Lin Yiguan for fleeing back to Ryukyu back then, and it was also this prince who connived at Lin Yiguan's escape from Ryukyu twice. Although I don't know what the intentions of this great eunuch of Dongchang are? But his power in the Ryukyu Kingdom must not be underestimated. ”

At this time, Guo Yi suddenly remembered one thing, when she and Wang Chong had just arrived in Shuri Castle, someone had stuffed a letter in the crack of the door, reminding them not to easily implicate the royal family, and suddenly felt that this trip to Ryukyu was quite tricky, and whether to go treasure hunting or not to mention it for the time being, if Huang Bingwen really changed, he would definitely be able to come in handy against the mysterious prince.

So, she looked at Xu Ling'er, who was full of worries, looked at Huang Bingwen with a sincere face, and said softly: "Sister, we might as well bring Brother Bingwen." ”

Just when Xu Ling'er was stunned, Huang Bingwen, who was in tears, fell to his knees with a plop, bowed his head and replied: "I am sincerely afraid, I dare not be your eldest brother, if I can help you serve the country, even if you are in the ground, you should not give up!" ”
