Chapter 13

The Zen master said, "The five aggregates are the aggregates of color, cognition, receiving, thinking, and acting. It is transformed into the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Returning to the five internal organs, the five aggregates are empty, removing color, body, taste, touch, and dharma, and reaching the state of selflessness. One with heaven and earth. The Zen master finished teaching luck and practice mantras. Wang Shi kept it in mind.

After opening up the meridians of Wang Shi, the Zen master collected the gong and instructed some boxing secrets. At this time, the sky was already bright, and he said: "The sky is already bright, take care all the way from now on." After speaking, the Zen master stood on his chest with one palm: "Amitabha." Wang Shi returned the salute with his fists, and the Zen master went like flying. Disappeared into the pine and cypress.

On the morning of the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Wang Shi woke up on the fifth watch, perhaps a habit for many years. Anyway, I'm going to leave for Jinling today, and I'm too lazy to go to the City God Temple to practice, and I don't have anything to clean up. Thinking of this, he turned over and got up from the bed, took the shovel, moved the bed backwards, dug up the earth and dug up the clay pot with the gold, untied the lid, took out the two pieces of gold, checked them in his hand, put the other one back into the crockpot, covered it, and buried it in the ground. If you don't earn any money when you go out, you can live a life when you return to your hometown in the future, and you still have these ten taels of gold.

Hold the soil tight with your feet and move the bed back. Find a piece of green cloth, make a bag, and put a few pieces of usual change of clothes in it. The gold was hidden in the boots, and he wrapped the several pots of sleeve arrows he had taken from the cottage a few days ago in his baggage, and tied one pot to his left arm, and everything was ready to stop. Look at the outside just bright, the east has been white, there is a little excitement in the heart, sitting on the ground at home is also boring, it is better to go to the dock earlier, go out to lock a lock, take a big stride to the direction of the dock, my heart suddenly flooded with a burst of parting sorrow, I can't help but stop and look back, and take a look at this place that has been with me for 22 years. Countless childhood memories came to my heart, a burst of sadness, a burst of joy, a burst of sorrow, including how many scenes of facing the morning breeze and going to the school to study, and my mother stood at the door and kept admonishing. Recalling that I went to Jinling for the exam last year, it was a morning in winter, and my mother stood on the path in front of the door and waved goodbye. Wang Shi couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of this, and said in a poem: "Mother sends her son to Qi according to firewood,

Worried about the road ahead and having no friends.

A thousand instructions to look at it from afar,

I just hope to return to my hometown as soon as possible. ”

sighed once, and turned his heart sideways. Strode towards the docks. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the dock, there was a bun shop in front, Feng and Cheng also walked over from the dock, and the two met in front of the bun shop, hugged each other and saluted, Feng Laifu said with a smile: "Brother Wang is really early, Brother Cheng and I are about to go to the house, and I am worried that you have missed the time." After saying that, he laughed.

"How come, since I have made an appointment, I will miss the appointment when I leave today. ”

"Hahaha, what Brother Wang said is that I also happen to be a little hungry, so why don't I eat some steamed buns here and have breakfast. Cheng Guang said and walked towards the bun shop, Wang Shi and Feng Laifu both said: "That's right." ”

The three of them walked into the store, sat down at a wooden table at the door, the fat boss who ordered the bun was wearing a white cloth apron, and was tilting his head to stir the fire with fire scissors, when he saw Wang Shi and his party coming in, he turned his head and looked: "What do you eat, there are bean paste filling, pork cabbage filling, beef filling, mutton filling, leek filling, brown sugar filling, big white flour steamed buns." ”

Wang Shi said: "Ten of each type of buns." Forget about steamed buns. ”

The fat boss looked at Wang Shi in surprise and said, "Ten of each kind is sixty, you can't eat it." I'll pick five of each for you first, and if you don't have enough to eat, you'll add more. As he spoke, he took a large sea bowl on the shelf next to him, one sea bowl was only filled with ten, and it was full of three sea bowls, and he put it on the table, and asked, "I have fresh soybean milk that has just been ground here, and I have new rice porridge that was boiled in the morning." Do you drink soy milk or porridge? ”

Boss Feng hurriedly said, "Then let's have a bowl of porridge for one person." The boss agreed, walked to the stove, scooped three bowls of porridge in a large pot on the ground, and brought them to several people, "You use it slowly." After saying that, he went to the back and took some freshly made buns, and put them on the steamer.

Wang Shi took a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks on the table, sandwiched a bun, and bit it open, but it was pork and cabbage filling, which tasted good. Feng Cheng and the others, after eating a total of ten buns, were already very full, and after drinking the porridge, they all stopped and watched Wang Shi eat.

Wang Shi ate the buns while eating: "You two eat, why don't you eat it." ”

"We're all full, you eat slowly. But in his heart, he was wondering how he would finish eating.

I saw Wang Shi pick up a bun and swallow it in two bites, gobbling it up, and after a while, the father-in-law ate the two sea bowls of steamed buns, picked up the porridge and drank it all, and put the bowl and chopsticks down: "The boss settles the account!"

The fat boss walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Fifty dollars." ”

Wang Shi was about to go to his pocket to take out the money, and Cheng Guang had already taken out a few big men from his sleeve to settle the account. Feng Laifu said: "Brother Wang's meal is not small, it can top two or three of us to eat. ”

Wang Shi also felt strange, he hadn't eaten so much before, and since Zen Master Yuanhui helped him open up the meridians, the amount of food has also increased. Every day at two o'clock in the meridian, after practicing the internal strength of the mind, I feel that my eyes can see more clearly and my ears can hear farther. A mosquito can hear the sound of its wings fanning the wind when it flies by, as if all the birds and insects around it are not flying as fast as before. Even when I practiced the Hidden Arrow, I felt that the Hidden Arrow became very slow to shoot, and I could catch it as soon as I stretched out my hand.

The three of them went out of the bun shop, all the way to the dock, Feng Laifu stepped on a wooden boat in front, the canopy was full of goods, and then Wang Shi and Cheng Guang also walked to the boat on the sampan, Feng Laifu said to the boat owner: "Let's go!" I saw the boat owner wearing a short coat, barefoot, holding a nanzhu more than two zhang long in his hand, on the stone of the river ridge, the boat went forward to the middle of the river, and then two wooden boats followed, and the three boats went down the river. Wang Shi, Feng and Cheng both sat in the cabin, looking at the scenery along the river outside, and arrived at the Zhangzhou City Wharf at noon, Feng and Cheng said that they wanted to go to the wharf to eat, and the boat owner leaned the boat on the edge of the wharf and dropped anchor, went to the river to fetch a pot of water, and shouted to the two boats behind, "You two don't cook, I'll cook today," and the two boat owners behind replied loudly: "Okay." ”

Wang Shi followed Feng Cheng and the others ashore, and came up from the stone ladder of the wharf, which was crowded with people, including merchants, carrying sacks, and selling snacks. There are dozens of shops and three or five inns on both sides. The three of them found a restaurant on the edge of the dock, came in and sat down, ordered a few vegetables and vegetables, two pots of old wine, and after the three of them ate, Feng Laifu repaid the food money, and went out of the tavern and returned to the boat. As soon as Wang Shi got on the boat, he heard someone shouting behind him, Brother Zhang Ying, he didn't react for a while, walked to the boat and stopped, suddenly turned around, and saw a man standing on the shore, wearing a white Fanyang felt hat, and carrying a mixed iron point steel gun in his hand, seven feet long, wearing a green robe, and black boots, he was waving at Wang Shi on the shore, and carefully recognized that this person was Zhang Chengfu, Wang Shi quickly jumped down from the boat, ran up in a few steps, and the two hugged their fists and saluted, Wang Shi said: "Why is my brother here, where is this going." ”

Zhang Chengfu said: "Since I left the cottage, I have been wandering around, and I have no place to live. I don't want to meet you. ”

Wang Shi said: "Don't call me Brother Zhang Ying in the future, my name is Wang Shi, you call me Brother Wang, I'm going to Jinling, you have nowhere to go anyway, it's better to go with me." ”

"What are you doing in Jinling? ”

"Now there are many bandits on the waterway, Feng Cheng, the two bosses, invited me to do this business together, give me a dividend, protect the safety of goods along the way, and if there are bandits, there will be a rescue. If you are not afraid of bandits, be a helper to me. ”

"What's there to be afraid of, since you say so, I'll go with you. The two men joined hands and boarded the boat. Wang Shi said to Feng and Cheng: "This person is my cousin, I didn't expect to be so fateful, I met here, and I just happened to be a helper." Zhang Chengfu and Feng and Cheng greeted each other again, and the four of them sat in the cabin and waited for the boat to start, and the three boat owners had eaten noodles, and each returned to the boat, lit the boat, and the three boats left the dock and went straight down the river until the evening. The boat owner parked the boat at the Jiangkou Wharf in Fengxian County, which is the mouth of the Huanxi River that flows into the Yangtze River. Feng Laifu walked up to the dock from the sampan on the boat, Wang Shi and Zhang Chengfu also followed, watching the river view on the shore, although it was still very busy on the dock at dusk, and the porters were busy unloading the goods from the small boat coming down from the Huanxi River, and then moving it to the big river boat.

I saw a big mansion on the edge of the wharf, and there was a sign standing in front of the door, which read: Tie Gang Jiangkou Branch. There was also a notice in front of the door, saying: If you want to keep the peace of the passing ships, you can pay the entrance fee in this branch, and the flag of our iron cable gang can be hung on the ship. Bandits naturally stay away.

Feng Laifu found a big river boat, chartered it, and then came back to hire a porter to carry all the goods on the three small boats. Feng and Cheng supervised the handling and transportation of goods, and Cheng Guang said to Wang Shi: "Brother Wang, you and Brother Zhang will go to the big ship to rest first." We watched as the cargo was finished, and the ship's owner's account was settled. β€οΌŒ

Wang Shi and Zhang Chengfu went on the big ship, the big ship is thirty meters long, the lower side is the cargo hold, there are three guest rooms on the left and right sides, the stern is the thatched house, the bow is the dining room, the guest room is for the merchants to rest, the owner He Gongchao is nicknamed He Lao Er, always shirtless and barefoot, seven feet long, square and black-faced. Beckoned Wang Shi and Zhang Chengfu into the first room on the left hand side to rest, there were two beds in this room, and a picture of a lady in plain yarn and green clothes hung on the left wall. Entering the door is facing a small window, open the window to see the outside scenery, the left and right beds, Wang Shi threw the burden to the bed on the right side, and went to open the window, the river breeze came to his face, he took a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt that the whole person was a lot refreshed.

In addition to the owner He Gongchao, there were three shipwrights on this ship, the helmsman Lu Gouzi, with a long square face and a body of seven feet, wearing a pair of shorts, all barefoot.

Zhang Shan, a boatman, was a tall and thin man, always wearing a short coat. In his thirties. Among the shipwrights, he was the most afraid of the cold.

The boatman Simon Fu, who is not tall, of medium stature, is in his fifties, and usually does some odd jobs on the ship, but also has the errand of cooking.

Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang were busy until the third watch, looked at the goods, and settled the money for three small boats before they came on board. He Gongchao arranged Feng Cheng and the others in the first room on the right-hand side, just opposite Wang Shimen. None of the four had dinner. He fell asleep. The next morning, He Gongchao knocked on the door and told them to have breakfast in the bow restaurant. Ximenfu brought the pot of rice and put it on the wooden shelf, and stacked a stack of bowls on the table: "If you eat, take the bowl here and serve it yourself," said him, and put a few side dishes and a braised fish on a plate and put them in the middle of the table. Wang Shi said: "Eat so richly, what a big fish!"

Cheng Guang said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know, the most important thing on their boat is fish, in this Yangtze River, there are many fish bigger than this, and when you often take more waterways in the future, you won't feel unusual." The fish are so delicious that you get tired of it."

Zhang Chengfu said: "I can't get tired of eating, if I have such a big fish to eat every day, I would rather walk on the waterway." ”

Ximenfu said with a smile: "The guest officers want to eat anything else, this fish is full." ”

Several people laughed, and He Gongchao came in and asked, "Bosses, can you set sail?" ”

Feng Laifu replied while drinking porridge: "Well, the goods have been loaded and you can go." ”

He Gongchao was lifting the anchor, and Zhang San was dragging the sampan to the boat, when a Taoist leader ran down from the dock and shouted: "This boat is going to Jinling!"

He Gongchao saw that the Taoist chief was running and shouting, and he also replied loudly: "Yes, you have to hurry by boat." ”

The Taoist leader came to the side of the ship in a few arrows, and then flew onto the deck with only one leap, and there was no sound when he landed. He Gongchao secretly gave a thumbs up: "Dao Chief's kung fu is really handsome,"

The Taoist chief laughed and said, This is nothing. Look at how this long man looks, with green silk on his head, dressed in a gray sermon robe, embroidered with a Taiji diagram on his chest before and after, with a yellow silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a handful of Buddha dust in his hand. He wore a pair of bast shoes on his feet. Standing on the deck and watching the boatmen support the boat, swing the boat to the center of the river, and gallop downstream, Lu Gouzi looked at the river with all his hands at the stern, holding the rudder with both hands.

He Gongchao was guarding the bow of the boat, always watching the situation on the river, Wang Shi and Zhang Chengfu were bored in the room, and they also came out for a walk, and saw the Taoist chief standing on the bow deck and watching the scenery along the river.

In the evening, He Gongchao commanded Lu Gouzi to lean the boat on the river, and berthed the boat in a place where the water flow was slow, because the water on the Yangtze River was turbulent, and the boat was not sailed at night. Ximen Fu went to cook and stir-fry by himself. After everyone had eaten, they put some leftovers into the bamboo basket, tied ropes around the bamboo basket, and then sank into the river in the future, and the next morning, when the bamboo basket was lifted, there were many fish and shrimp in it. I will cook it. It's also a good way to go fishing by boat.

After breakfast in the morning, the boat continued to go downstream, until noon, the boat entered the Wu Gorge, Wang Shi stood on the deck and looked at the mountains and mountains on both sides, only to see the goddess peak clouds and mist, like a fairy wearing a thin veil, looming, the river at this time is even more turbulent and abnormal, the boat is like an arrow from the string, I can't help but make a poem in my mouth: look at the goddess hidden fog from afar,

Take a boat ride through the canyon.

Turn your head away from the goddess,

You envy Xiangwang Yan Fulong.

The Taoist chief listened to it on the side, and couldn't help laughing, "Childe is really a good sentence, after listening to your poem, Fang Zhi is also a romantic person." ”

Wang Shizheng sighed with emotion, turned around and saw that the Taoist chief was laughing at himself, and he was a little unhappy in his heart: "I'm also talking nonsense casually, it's not a good sentence." I don't know where I want to cultivate, but where I want to go. ”

"It is not enough to practice in an unknown hill, and now I am going to Jinling to visit a Taoist friend. ”

While the two were chatting, they suddenly saw a small boat on the left, and there were five or six shirtless men standing on the boat, with red scarves on their heads. sang in his mouth: "A good man is born rough, he doesn't play the orchestra and doesn't read." Sail the boat shirtless, and don't eat fish and meat to kill. Singing the lyrics all the way, the boat leaned over to the side of the big boat, and Wang Shi asked, "Who are these people?" ”

The Taoist chief laughed and said, "It's just a few little thieves on the river." ”

When Wang Shi saw that he was a thief, he became nervous and shouted loudly: "Zhang Chengfu hurry up and copy the guy and look at the boat." As long as they come up, they just pierce. ”

Zhang Chengfu heard this, came out of the room, and stood in the aisle with a mixed iron point steel gun in his hand. "Don't worry, as long as these grandsons dare to come up, watch me dig a hole." ”

Wang Shi walked to the bow of the boat and saw He Gongchao's face solemn, commanded Lu Gouzi to change the course, dodged the boat, and after a while, he threw the boat away for a distance, and the two shirtless men on the boat suddenly bent their bows and arrows, swishing twice, only to see two arrows shot over, tied to the boat, there was a thin rope behind the arrow, and the people on the boat pulled the rope hard for a while The boat was about to come up, Wang Shi pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve, and was about to cut the arrows shot at the ship's bar, at this time the people on the boat immediately put a few arrows over, and went straight to Wang Shimian。 Wang Shi had no choice but to wield a sharp knife to knock down the arrows. Look at the boat and come up, the leader of the boat is a big man with a lancet in his hand, and the other five men are shirtless, carrying a lancet in each hand. The other two men bent their bows and arrows at Wang Shi and shouted, "You can't run away." Get the boat to shore and spare your lives. "Look at the approach of the boat, the man at the head of the man jumped into shape, flew on the boat, and landed heavily on the boat. Standing firm just now, Wang Shi raised his left hand and pressed the mechanism on his elbow with his right hand, and a sleeve arrow went straight into the door of the man's face. Because the distance between the two boxes was too close, and as soon as he landed, he hadn't come back to his senses, the sleeve arrow had arrived, and he couldn't dodge, and an arrow happened to shoot in the left eye impartially, and the man shouted: "Ahhh "Cover your eyes with your left hand. turned around and was about to leave, in the small boat behind, five men saw that the leader jumped up, and was hit by a hidden arrow in his left eye, and hurriedly took the boat, Wang Shi did not step forward to mend the knife. The two men who were shooting arrows in the boat fired two more arrows at Wang Shi. The man with the arrow in his eye turned around and shouted, "Boy, you wait! Then there was a vicious whistle, and the two fat men raised their knives to cut the line behind the arrows that had been shot at the big ship. The boat detached, and after a while it was out of sight.

Wang Shi was still thinking about the man who was blinded by himself just now, and viciously said that he would kill the whole ship on the boat. At this time, Feng Cheng and the others also came out of the guest room and asked, "Did the thieves take it away?" Feng Laifu also asked with a frightened face,

"Knocked away, and shot a thief in the left eye. Zhang Chengfu said happily

Cheng Guang heard that he had blinded the thief's left eye, and suddenly his face sank. "Since you have already shot him blind in the left eye, you should kill them all, so as not to leave a trouble, and now that you let him go again, there must be more bandits behind us to chase us." It is also possible to notify the partner in front of us to intercept us. Normally, these bandits only plundered money, but now that you shoot him blind, they will definitely retaliate, and I am afraid that if they are caught, they will all die. How is it good. Hey!" Cheng Guang said and complained.

Wang Shi said: "You don't have to worry, when these bandits come again, they will definitely take his life." Feng Laifu said with a gloomy face: "It's better to do this, otherwise, we will have to take our lives." The two of them complained outside for a while, and then went back to their rooms. One to the side of the night, are calm, no bandits appeared, when the ship is almost dark to the Jingzhou wharf, a densely populated and prosperous scene. At this time, the wharf is brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, going up and down on the wharf. It's not hot. He Gongchao moored the boat at the dock, everyone had dinner, Wang Shi was still a little nervous in the afternoon, he had dinner, and he didn't see the robbers come to retaliate, his heart was much calmer, he lay in the guest room, and asked Zhang Chengfu: "Do you say that the thieves who were blinded by me will call someone to retaliate?"

Zhang Chengfu turned his face to look at Wang Shi: "Aren't you from a bandit background, and what are you afraid of bandits?" It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, why don't you fight with him to the death. Why do you think so much, it's serious to go to bed early. After Zhang Chengfu finished speaking, he turned his face and put the quilt on his body and slept peacefully.

But Wang Shi's heart is always unsteady, like fifteen buckets of water, it is really seven up and eight down, and it seems that there is a stone hanging in the air in his heart. I didn't want to sleep, I lay down for a while, I came out of the guest room, sat on the bow deck, the river breeze blew, some chill, looked up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, and the bright moon was on the mountain. The dock was noisy and noisy. It's even more drowsy.

Just as he could see the gods, He Gongchao walked up from behind: "Son, go to bed early, these bandits will not come tonight, they will enter the waters of Jingzhou tomorrow, there are often bandits haunted, it is estimated that these bandits will be waiting in front tomorrow." Cheer up tonight. There's a fierce battle waiting for you tomorrow. ”

Wang Shi looked back at He Gongchao, didn't speak, and went back to the room to sleep. The person who was blinded by Wang Shi in the left eye was the hall master of the Jiangkou branch of the Iron Rope Gang, nicknamed: Langli Knife, Wu Shouyi. After Wu Shouyi was shot blind in his left eye, he returned to Jiangkou, and immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to the Jingzhou Branch, preparing a detailed account of being blinded in his left eye by a red river boat, and the man shot his left eye with a sleeve arrow, and also specially described Wang Shi's height and face.

After breakfast the next morning, the boat sailed into the waters of Jingzhou and could not travel forty or fifty miles, Feng Laifu came out of the guest room and told Wang Shidao, last time our cargo ship was robbed here, you have to be more careful, and hurried into the guest room after speaking. Wang Shi looked nervously at the river. After a while, I saw two big boats flashing out on both sides of the front, and gradually leaned over to this side, Feng Laifu was opening the window in the guest room at this time to look out, and saw a boat coming over from a distance, because he could only see the boat coming from the right from the window, and shouted loudly: "Brother Wang, pay attention, it's this boat, it was this boat that robbed us last time, it's coming! ”

Wang Shi heard Feng Laifu's shout, knew that it was the bandits coming, looked at the approach of the two boats, threw more than a dozen hooks from the boats on both sides, hooked the boats, and then jumped down from the boats on both sides of the more than 20 shirtless men. Holding a three-foot-long willow leaf sharp knife in his hand, he shouted in his mouth, all lying on his stomach and not moving, don't move, holding the knife and going to the bow of the boat, the man at the head pointed at Wang Shi and said, "It's him, cut him down!" Five or six big men raised their knives and came to cut Wang Shi. Zhang Chengfu opened the door of the guest room with a mixed iron point steel gun and had already killed him from the aisle, and the three big men slashed with a knife, and Zhang Chengfu was forced to retreat to the guest room and only guard the door of the room.

Wang Shi saw five or six big men raise their knives and cut them down, rolled forward on the ground, stood up, and stole peaches with a monkey with both hands. I saw two men, screaming, falling to the ground and fainting in pain. Wang Shishi unfolded the Tiger Arhat Fist, moving and dodging, his body was swift, sometimes the moves opened and closed, and sometimes, he used the method of grabbing and unloading the bones, knocking all the five or six big men who came in front of him to the ground, some were caught, some were blinded, and some were smashed into the heavenly spirit cover. Seventy-seven-eighty-eight fell to the ground. The man at the head laughed, "The idea is not weak." Looks like I'm going to have to play with you. "This person is the Tiesu Gang, floating on the King Kong water in the clouds: Yan Lu is long, slender and slender, and makes a pair of Wu hooks. shouted "M Labazi! Look at the hook!" and rolled over with the double hooks, only to see the double hooks flying up and down, like a white python playing waves, sometimes like a strange python rolling waves, sometimes like an ape probing and grabbing. One will attack the upper plate, move the head and cut the neck, and the next time sweep the plate, hook the ankle and cut the leg. This Wu hook has a blade in front of it, which is extremely sharp, and a hook in the back, which is dedicated to locking enemy weapons. A fierce attack forced Wang Shi to move and jump to dodge, fortunately the jumping method passed on by Zen Master Yuanhui and the Fuhu Arhat Fist came in handy, otherwise he would die today under this Wu hook. Wang Shi's meridians around his body have been opened, and he has cultivated the five aggregates of internal strength. The heart is bright and the eyes are bright, and the body is flexible and abnormal. The water drifting Yan Lu Chang and Wang Shi fought for more than 50 rounds, and seeing that Wang Shi was just blindly dodging and dodging, he scolded: "M Labazi, what kind of hero is hiding around." If you have a kind of recruitment, you will take it. ”

Wang Shi didn't want to accept it, because he had never seen this kind of weapon, and he didn't know if he could crack it, so he could only dodge and dodge. At this moment, the Taoist chief came out of the guest room and said, "This hook method is the south hook method of Xichuan Wangjia Town. The head of the family, Wang Ruyi, passed down three disciples, the eldest disciple Wang Neng, the second disciple Wang Changhe, and the third disciple Yang Mingyi. I don't know who you are learning from. ”

When the water drifting Yan Lu Chang saw his master, he secretly thought in his heart who this Taoist was, if he was in the ears of the preacher who was doing bandits on the river, then he would not be chopped alive. If you put your heart sideways, this person can't stay. He didn't agree in his mouth, and stepped up the offensive in his hand, seeing that Wang Shi was a little unable to resist the enemy, the Taoist chief said: "Quickly attack him Sanyinjiao." Wang Shi heard it, only to see that at this time, the water floating Yan Lu Chang was holding a double hook to lock Wang Shi's throat, Wang Shi saw that the Taoist said to attack his three yin jiao, these three yin jiao, is one of the thirty-six dead points, on the inside of the ankle. Then he used an iron plate bridge, leaned back, kicked the opponent's right leg with the tip of his left foot, and heard the Taoist chief talking in the back, and hurriedly looked at the double hook in front of him, Wang Shi's toes were kicking on his right leg Sanyinjiao, and he suddenly felt a soreness in his right foot, and some unsteady standing, and the move in his hand slowed down. Hurriedly used a move to worship the moon with two stars, and took Wang Shi's chest, because his right leg was a little weak, Wang Shi flashed to the side, and a move Arhat captured the tiger, and his left palm hit him heavily on the right Zhangmen acupoint, which is the Fuhui Zhangmen, the dirty period door, which is the four points of the thirty-six dead points. Under the Zhangmen acupoint are the ribs. The bottom is next to the liver. Wang Shi slapped this palm, and the water drifted on the road was long, and he couldn't float up. Suddenly I felt a clatter, my ribs were broken three times, my right side of my body was numb, and then my right hand couldn't be raised. Wang Shi took advantage of the victory to pursue. Turned over and jumped up, and his right palm used that move, and the famous stunt king covered the top. Hit directly on Yan Luchang's heavenly spirit cover, because now that he has practiced internal strength, the force goes straight to the palm from the dantian, this palm is slapped down, only to hear a muffled sound, Yan Luchang's entire head exploded with a bang, and the brains splashed everywhere, and the foredeck was full of white flowers, as if overturning a bucket of bean curd. Wang Shi himself was stunned, he didn't expect his palm power to be so fierce, and it was greatly enhanced many times more than before, and his heart was full of joy. When he came back to his senses, he saw Yan Luchang lying on the deck, his head broken into many pieces, and some scalps were attached to his neck, and he couldn't see it anymore. Looking at the brains all over the ground, I couldn't help but retch. The little minions at the helm of the robbers' boats on both sides saw that the water drifting Yan Road Captain was killed, and the rest of the men who jumped on the boat were driven out by Zhang Chengfu and killed two or three. The little minion at the helm quickly cut the rope that held the big ship and pushed the boat away.

Seeing the corpses on the boat, and the brains on the deck, Feng and Cheng trembled with fear. Wang Shi called He Gongchao over, "You dispose of these corpses on the ship, and wash the brains on the deck of the ship" After speaking, he went to the guest room.

"It's a hero, I'm going to clean up. You just have to rest. "He Gongchao has seen this kind of formation there. Killed a dozen big men in one moment. The aisles of the boat were covered with blood, and the dead were lying all around. He Gongchao called Ximen Fu and Zhang Shan over and ordered them to carry the corpses to the foredeck and throw them into the Yangtze River. He also brought water from the river with a bucket to clean the boat. Although I washed it several times, I could still smell the smell of blood in the hallway. Wang Shi was resting on the bed. This Zhang Chengfu held the big iron gun in his hand, sat on the edge of the bed and was distracted, and he had not yet come out of the fierce battle just now.

Feng Laifu and Cheng Guang pushed the door in and hugged their fists and saluted: "It's all up to the two of you today, otherwise this ship will be robbed again." ”

Wang Shi was extremely tired, and when he heard the two of them talking, he rolled over from the bed, clasped his fists and saluted, "It's nothing. Just a few thieves. You may be seated. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed a wooden stool next to him and let the two of them sit, Cheng Guang said: "I killed so many of them today, and I also killed one of their leaders, and there will definitely be someone behind me to take revenge." As far as I can see, these people are probably from the Chainrope Gang. The leader you killed was using a pair of Wu hooks, because it should be the iron rope to help the King Kong water in the clouds, and the road is long. Hey!"

Feng Laifu touched the mustache on the corner of his mouth: "I think Brother Wang has no problem dealing with them, it is the Iron Rope Gang, and what if the gang leader patrols the river and Yaksha Wei Qing comes, he may not be Brother Wang's opponent." ”

Cheng Guang said with a sad face: "I heard that the gang leader Wei Qing has three stunts, the first is the turtle breath gong, which can stay in the water for three days and three nights without ventilation. The second piece is the unique hidden weapon rose silver needle. Hundreds of shots, what is even more terrifying is that there is a poison on the needle, and he will die next to it, and he will die with it, once he is poisoned, there is no unique antidote for him within three hours, only waiting for death. The third is the transfiguration, and it is said that no one has ever seen his true face. ”

Zhang Chengfu smiled and said: "Why does this kid still make rose silver needles, do you have to bring a rose every time to shoot this silver needle." He laughed again.

Cheng Guangdao: "I heard from friends on the rivers and lakes that this rose silver needle is because after each silver needle is shot, you can smell a faint fragrance of roses on the deceased. Moreover, when the silver needle was taken out from the deceased, a strong fragrance of roses could be smelled on the silver needle, so it got the nickname of the rose silver needle. ”

"I see," Zhang Chengfu nodded and said.

After dinner in the evening, He Gongchao leaned the boat against a small estuary, there was a hemp willow forest on the bank of the river, after dinner, they went back to their rooms to sleep, Wang Shigang wanted to enter the room, thinking that during the day, if it was not for the Taoist chief's guidance, it would be difficult to win, so he walked to the door of the Taoist chief's room and knocked on the door.

"Who!" replied the Taoist inside

"It's me, Xiao Wang, can I come in. ”

"Haha, it's Brother Wang, please come in. With that, he got up and opened the door, and led Wang Shi to sit on the bed opposite.

"Thank you for your guidance today, otherwise you will die under his Wu hook. The juniors have thanked me here. As he spoke, he stood up and clasped his fists in salute.

The Dao Leader slapped the news with one palm: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

"I haven't asked the Taoist number yet, what to call it. ”

"Poor Dao Xuankong. ”

"It turned out to be the head of the Xuankong Dao. Courteous. How does the Taoist know the number of martial artists who are floating on the water. ”

"In his early years, Poor Dao had a relationship with Wang Ruyi, the head of Nangou in Wangjia Town, Xichuan. So I know that the fire of the long double hook of the Yan Road is not yet yet, and many tricks make it not skillful. I think I'm also a disciple who has just started. ”

"Oh, no wonder the Dao Master knows the flaws in his moves. ”

"I see that you make the fist method seem to be the Fuhu Arhat boxing, but it is the martial arts of the Shaolin school. I don't know if your teacher is from Shaolin. ”

Wang Shijian asked about the master, and he was speechless for a while, Zen Master Yuanhui once said something first, and he could not be said to be his disciple. Although he taught me martial arts, he was not commensurate with his master and apprentice. So I just hesitated for a while, said goodbye, and went back to the room.

The next day, the boat went down the river and entered Yueyang, next to the evening, He Gongchao moored the boat by the river, Wang Shi stood on the foredeck and looked at the surrounding scenery, the afterglow of the sunset shone on the river, the red light was dignified. It is like ten thousand begonias blooming, like thousands of peonies to compete for spring. When he couldn't see the beautiful scenery, He Gongchao walked over and stood next to him and pointed to the first floor pavilion in the distance and said, "That's Yueyang Tower." ”

Wang Shi looked in the direction of He Gongchao's finger and saw a building. reminds me of Du Fu's poems: I heard the water in Dongting in the past, and now I go to Yueyang Tower. I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. After playing on the deck for a while, until it was time to hold the lamp, Zhang Chengfu came out of the room and saw Wang Shi still standing on the deck and looking out: "Idiot, it's dark, what else to see, the river is windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

Wang Shi glanced back at Zhang Chengfu, and saw that Zhang Chengfu had gone to the stern toilet. "You have a lot of and urine a day, didn't I see you going there just now, and now you are running to the toilet." As he spoke, he entered the guest room. I lay in bed for a while. Zhang Chengfu came back and said with a sad face: "I don't know what I ate today, I'm a little diarrhea, and I've been running five or six times since the afternoon." ”

Wang Shi used to treat people when he was in the cottage. Seeing Zhang Chengfu's sallow face, he walked over and pulled his hand over to check his pulse: "Your pulse is like peace, there is nothing wrong with it." It may be that the fish has eaten too much, and it will be fine after a few days. The two were laughing, Feng Cheng and the two pushed the door in, greeted each other, sat down, Cheng Guang said: "Tomorrow I will enter the water surface of Yueyang, and there are many bandits in this area, and they robbed the goods of the merchants and drove the boat into Dongting Lake." The waterways inside are tortuous, and the officers and soldiers have also made several expeditions, but they have all returned in vain. In addition, Fang La made a lot of noise in Zhejiang, and the imperial court was exhausted. Shandong Song River, south of the Yangtze River, and Jin soldiers invaded in the north, harassing from time to time. Hey!"

Zhang Chengfu said: "It's not because now the traitors are in charge, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and several big traitors control the government and bewitch the emperor." Where can the people live in peace? ”

Feng Laifu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Don't talk about state affairs!"

Cheng Guangdao: "Tomorrow you two have to cheer up, it is estimated that there will be another fierce battle to fight." It's late today, so you have to rest, and we're going to take our leave. Feng Cheng and the others got up and went back to their room.

The next morning, after breakfast, He Gongchao was about to lift anchor, only to see two people coming from the riverside wharf, wearing filial piety clothes, walking in front of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with his hair tied up and crowned, followed by a woman, wearing a hat, and a white veil hanging around to cover his face. Dressed in a white shirt and walking lightly, he walked to the side of the boat. When the young man saw He Gongchao lifting the anchor, he shouted: "Boatman, give my mother and son a ride." ”
