Chapter 8: Hongji dies

At the end of the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, He Fu was very happy, and the twelve internal strengths were complete. The swordsmanship Dacheng only lacks killing intent, and without the fighting in the rivers and lakes, the swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve, and the hands and feet such as the Mixed Yuan Palm and Eagle Claw Gong have been practicing with Master Ye Tong for a long time. Qinggong even caught up with Master Ye Tong, and He Fu practiced the best life-saving means, and he was very sorry for his life.

During the Chinese New Year, he went to the celebrant to kowtow to He Ding as usual, and by the way, he asked to go to the War Bureau to build a sword, and He Ding agreed, without any waves. Since the apprenticeship, He Fu has spent the New Year with Master Ye Tong in the Master's courtyard every year, and the two of them do not join in with other eunuchs to find palace maids to celebrate the New Year, which is very quiet and comfortable.

In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, He Fu began to learn new skills, and went to the War Bureau to learn how to make weapons, mainly focusing on sword weapon making, and other weapons were also slightly involved. Among the masters of casting weapons in the country, He Fu's sword-casting skills have surpassed those of the master of the War Bureau after a year of study. After He Fu learned his craft, he found a piece of meteorite iron from the inner library and made himself a sword with the ancient style of the Warring States Qin period, the sword body was three feet three inches long, three fingers wide, and weighed six catties and four taels. The sword body and the hilt are integrated, the pattern on it is simple and simple like auspicious clouds, the sword was named "Qingyun Sword" by He Fu, and used the remaining materials to create a ruler-long and short sword for himself, the two swords are used together with the "Liangyi Swordsmanship" The power is huge, and the sharpness of the sword makes Master Ye Tong unwilling to practice with He Fu.

In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, He Fu did not look at the production of weapons, and he turned over the secret books of martial arts mastered by the Seal Ribbon Supervisor, mainly to find the "Sunflower Treasure Book", but unfortunately he did not find it, but it was not without gain, and he found the fragments of "One Yang Finger" and "Nine Yin True Scripture", why is it called a fragment? He Fu did not read the famous "The Way of Heaven, the loss is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings, so the void is better than the truth, and the lack is better than the surplus." Its meaning, its mystery, its interest is profound. The image of heaven and earth, the Hou Lie of yin and yang, the cause of change, the sign of death and life...", there is only one Taoist authentic pure yin heart method, lacking the general outline of yin and yang, and the martial arts in it are not missing. Master Ye Tong's eagle claw skills and feet also made He Fu see it, it is definitely a fusion of the Nine Yin Divine Claws, and the light skills also have the shadow of the spiral nine shadows, and the pulse interception point and acupoint kung fu he learned by himself is also on the Nine Yin True Scripture. He Fu also found a set of kung fu "Nine Turns Xuanyin Gong" and "Nine Heavens Xuanjian", this set of kung fu reminded him of the one-armed Shenni, and the introduction was actually left by Mingjiao Zhou Dian, according to Master Ye Tong, there were many eunuchs who made great contributions in Yingzong and Xianzong were rewarded with this set of kung fu, so that there were many famous masters in the East Factory and the West Factory.

He Fu began to walk the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, and after turning over many cheats, He Fu's means also increased, and the "Nine Yin True Scripture" on the "Easy Muscle Forging Bone Chapter", "Healing Chapter", "Soul Transfer Dafa", "Flying Flocculent Strength", "Tendon Shrinking Bone Method", "Secrets of Holding Breath" He Fu has learned all over again, among which the point points and acupoints and the Great Demon Fist have already been learned. 'Heart-destroying palm' has been integrated into the mixed yuan palm, and the mixed yuan palm has already been changed by He Fu to the mixed yuan yin and yang palm, and there are shadows such as Wudang Mianzhang and Kongtong Yin and Yang Mill in it. 'Hand waving five strings' was integrated into the eagle claw capture by Master Ye Tong, He Fu admired Master Ye Tong's martial arts and intelligence very much, and was not affected by the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and walked out of his own way, a generation of martial arts masters, if it is not for the identity of a eunuch, it is estimated that he can also open a sect on the rivers and lakes, and an eagle claw gate will not be able to run.

He Fu was very depressed: "Where is the "Sunflower Treasure Book"? What a good condition, you don't need to learn Yue Buqun, Dongfang is undefeated and self-harming, I am a eunuch!" I didn't dare to ask Master, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how I knew, and there was no news about "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the palace over the years.

At the end of the seventeenth day of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi fainted several times, and the palace began to be nervous, and He Fu also felt that his days of stability in the palace were coming to an end.

"Master, do you have any regrets in your life? Do you want to go out of the palace and take a look at your hometown, since my father sold me into the palace, I have been in the palace for 10 years, how many years have you been in the palace, have you been homesick?" He Fu, who was drinking during the New Year, sighed with a look on his face, and tested whether Master Ye Tong had any plans to leave the palace, seeing that Hongzhi was going to die, and when Zhengde came to power, the eight tigers fought each other, and the eunuchs in the palace began to pour, and there was definitely no good life in the palace.

"You kid don't have to be tempted to be a teacher, Lao Tzu has walked more than you eat more salt, what's the matter, I feel that the palace is not safe, where is this, I want to become Yingzong and Xianzong back then to the current position, much more than this formation!" Ye Tong's face was full of indifference, he took a sip of the wine glass in his hand, and continued: "It's still early, but it's really time to prepare, we eunuchs, there are not many good places to go." You kid is still young, you can go to the place to be a town guard, and an old guy like me can only go to Zhongguancun and wait for death."

"The apprentice doesn't want to go to the local town guard, he wants to go to the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't want to enter the East Factory. He Fu was not annoyed when he saw that his mind was exposed, and he directly said his thoughts and looked at Master Ye Tong.

"I have long known that your kid is not a safe master, when you came to our house to learn martial arts, you are not afraid that you have such a mind! This thing is not easy to do, but it is difficult for others, but your kid has already been selected, it is estimated that there will be arrangements, it is not difficult to get out of this sea of suffering! You don't care about our family, accept you as an apprentice to pass on the mantle of our family, our family has no regrets in this life!" Ye Tong held the vegetables in his hand, squinted his eyes, tasted the wine very comfortably, and did not take himself seriously in the future at all.

He Fu was stunned, with tears in his eyes, a little stuffy, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the middle of the new emperor's accession to the throne and slip away directly with the master, with the superb martial arts of the two of them, they couldn't go anywhere to change their faces, how good it was to be at ease, but they didn't think it was the result.

"Drinking, eating, happy and happy for the New Year, don't spoil the fun, accompany our family to have a few more drinks!" Ye Tong knocked on the table and woke up He Fu, who was flustered, and He Fu didn't know how he returned to his hut at night.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Zhu Youzhu died in the Qianqing Palace, the world was in turmoil, the capital of the palace began to be under martial law, and the female eunuchs in the palace cried endlessly. The temple bells in the capital outside the palace are constantly ringing, ringing over the entire capital. He Fu, like the other eunuchs, dressed in plain clothes, followed the crowd and began to mourn for the emperor, until he was called by He Ding on the evening of the seventh day.

When I saw He Ding again, he was not a majestic celebrant and admiral, but an old man with a face full of sorrow, a decadent atmosphere, plain clothes, and extremely old. After He Fu kowtowed, he stood aside respectfully and waited for He Ding's arrangement, He Fu had already known that he couldn't help himself when he was going, He Ding must have an arrangement, and knew that he was ready to arrange his own whereabouts.
