Chapter 16 The number one bandit in the world!
Qi Jiguang rushed into the small courtyard with a sprint, closed the door with his backhand, then lowered his voice and said sincerely:
"Recently, there has been chaos in the sea, and there may be a war in Xiangshan. It is really a bit difficult for Governor Zuo to be in danger alone..."
As he spoke, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but be shocked. Over the years, he had led troops to fight along the coast, appreciated the changes in the celestial phenomena, sensed the evil spirits of the armies, and felt that his boxing spirit had greatly improved.
Unexpectedly, even though he was very close to Governor Zuo, he was not aware of it at all.
Qi Jiguang suddenly felt worried. Governor Zuo could do this, but what about Zhu Tiandu?
Are there really no omissions in the defense line they think is impregnable and seamless?
Seeing Qi Jiguang being so cautious, Lu Bing laughed and said:
"Only the Holy Emperor and Eunuch Lu know about my leaving the capital, so you don't have to worry."
Qi Jiguang wanted to say more, but Lu Bing raised his palm to stop him, raised his eyebrows and said:
"If there was no sea chaos, what would I do?
Although Qingliu and Yandang in Chaozhong were in trouble, after all, they were still under the control of the Holy One, so no big trouble could occur.
I'm a martial artist who practices martial arts, so what's the point of staying there? I might as well come to you and do something practical.
Besides, Yu Xujiang and I are close friends, and his formation was also created here. Of course I want to come and see how you are doing. ”
Upon hearing the name Yu Xujiang, Qi Jiguang was silent for a moment and saluted Lu Bing with clasped fists.
"Qi Mou admires Gao Yi, the governor of the left."
Yu Xujiang, whose real name is Yu Dayou, is Qi Jiguang's senior in the army. Both of them are boxing masters who fought in battles, and are also known as "Yu Long Qi Hu".
But this Yu Long actually died in a boxing experiment.
Lu Bing sighed:
"The formation boxing technique that restrains the master's fists, in the whole world, I am afraid he is the only one who dares to think about it, to do it, and to sacrifice his life for it.
How did you dispose of his body? ”
Qi Jiguang was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Yu means that we should keep his body and not bury it in a hurry so that we can observe carefully what went wrong."
Lu Bing was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and sighing:
"This Yu Xujiang, the death of the masters in the past was mostly due to testing boxing skills. It's not like he doesn't understand this truth, so why rush for success..."
He sighed:
"He taught me this truth. Eight years ago, I wanted to explore the secret of the 'Blood Sect Shangqu' in Wudang boxing, but something went wrong. Fortunately, Yu Xujiang was by my side and I was able to save my life.
Even if the Holy One shows mercy and allows me to take all the treasures in the palace, and even if I get help from a certain divine object, it will still take me eight years to regain my old outlook.
But why did he himself, alas! ”
What Lu Bing said is actually the best principle in martial arts.
Every mature boxing skill has a lot of taboos and very cumbersome steps when practicing. These precautions are all lessons learned by the predecessors with their lives.
Although Yu Dayou is a master, it is really a bit fanciful to want to create a boxing formation from scratch in such a short period of time that can restrain the master
Qi Jiguang was not unaware of this, but he also keenly captured another piece of information in Lu Bing's words.
Since there is such a magical thing, how can...
Isn’t the Southeast chaotic enough to be worth the effort?
Although he understood that Lu Bing's importance in the heart of the current emperor was unmatched by ten or hundreds of Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang still couldn't help but feel flustered.
He frowned and said solemnly:
"Captain Zuo should also know that the situation in the southeast is urgent. There are pirates making trouble outside, and there are natural and man-made disasters inside. How can Brother Yu not be impatient?"
Lu Bing was dumbfounded.
Having been in the center for a long time, he naturally understood that a large part of the reason for the chaos in the southeast was due to the influence of the party struggle between North Korea and China.
From a certain perspective, what killed Yu Dayou was not just boxing, nor was it just the Southeast Asian pirates, but also the fierce struggle between North Korea and China.
In fact, Lu Bing came here because he was considering the possible civil unrest in the southeast caused by "changing rice to mulberry".
He once wrote to Emperor Jiajing, hoping to postpone the matter, but Yan Shifan rejected it. Fortunately, the emperor also knew Zhu Tiandu's power, so he allowed Lu Bing to leave the capital alone and rush to Taizhou.
Among them, Emperor Jiajing also used the technique of checks and balances, asking Lu Bing to keep an eye on the strict party and not to go too far.
Of course, it was not convenient for Qi Jiguang to reveal the inside story of these court struggles, so Lu Bing could only sigh.
"What Yuan Jing said is true. I only hope that you and I can carry forward Xujiang's legacy and pacify the southeast."
Seeing Lu Bing's attitude like this, Qi Jiguang felt a little relieved even though he had not yet completely let go of his grudge.
Everyone in the government and the public knows that the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards, the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army Zuo, is also a boxing master who has been famous for many years, and it is difficult to find an opponent in the world.
If it weren't for Lu Bing's bad reputation and his long-term stay in Xiyuan, where he lived in seclusion, Yan Shifan would not have been named "the best boxer in the court".
Qi Jiguang's feelings about this were far more profound than those of ordinary people.
This is not only because he is also a boxing master himself, but also because he has actually seen what Lu Bing looks like when he strikes.
In the 29th year of Jiajing's reign, when Anda Khan ordered the Mongolian army to approach the capital, Qi Jiguang was the chief flag officer responsible for guarding the nine gates of the capital.
Back then, when he was young and weak, he stood on the city gate tower and witnessed Lu Bing riding out of the city alone, leading more than a hundred personal guards, and directly attacked the Mongolian army's main formation, galloping in all directions.
That kind of heroic posture that is invincible against obstacles and overcomes obstacles caused by ghosts and gods makes Qi Jiguang fascinated and admired to the extreme.
Seeing each other again now, Qi Jiguang felt that Lu Bing was still as charming as before, and even made further progress.
With the help of such people, Xiangshan and Haikou will be at peace.
Lu Bing looked at the marks on the wall again and asked:
"This is the dragon's head stone that was a treasure of Wudang Nanyan back then. It was half on the cliff and half in the sky. It fell into the deep valley during the battle in the past. I didn't expect it to end up here.
It is a fantastic idea to use the Taoist charm that Wudang has cultivated for hundreds of years to worship the Eight Parts of Tianlong Boxing of Buddhism.
Is Zhu Tiandu, the Dragon Prince, really so terrifying? Even people like Yu Xujiang have to place their hopes on an inexplicable formation? ”
Qi Jiguang heard the disapproval in Lu Bing's words, his eyebrows twitched, and he smiled bitterly:
"The old dragon wants to ascend to heaven and transform into a dragon, so naturally the heavenly generals from all directions will join forces to stop him..."
The emperor of this dynasty believed in Taoism, and Lu Bingjiu was on duty in Xiyuan. He saw many Taoist priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts, so he had a headache when he heard such words, so he stopped him and said:
"This person has been living in seclusion for many years. He may be like Xu Jiang and me. He is seriously ill due to experimenting with boxing techniques. It is not a cause for concern for the time being."
Qi Jiguang nodded in approval.
As Lu Bing said just now, most of the deaths of masters in the past were due to experimental boxing techniques.
After all, among the boxers who have reached this stage, which one is not a genius that is one in ten thousand, one in one hundred thousand, or even one in a million?
Even if they are already masters, these proud men cannot be satisfied, let alone stop climbing forward.
——Without such will, they would not be able to gather their own master fist power.
But this dead end road of Wu Kou Xian Sect is really too difficult. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.
Just like Qi Yuanjing, even though he had many precious experiences and information that Yu Dayou sacrificed his life for, he still had bumps and bruises on this road, leaving behind many hidden wounds.
Moreover, the further you go on this road, the more you have to explore the most subtle aspects of the human body, and the more dangerous it becomes.
With Zhu Tiandu's boxing skills being almost the best in the world, if he goes even slightly wrong, it will be a big problem.
Lu Bing waved his hand and wrote lightly:
"I will capture his adopted son first and explore the true nature of this old dragon."
Qi Jiguang nodded and said with a smile:
"If Zhu Polong really dares to rush forward this time, with the help of the Left Governor, he will never come back!"
Lu Bing didn't feel inspired at all.
With his status and boxing skills, even if he wins against a junior grandmaster, he is still suspected of bullying the younger one, which is not worthy of praise at all.
The only opponent in Lu Bing's heart was the "world's best rebel" who topped the list of "Wu Zhi Lu" and whose boxing skills were at the pinnacle.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at the angry waves on the courtyard wall, recalling the appearance of his old friend, and was lost in thought.
The rain was getting heavier. A hundred miles away from the city, the waves rolled like dragons.
At noon, the clear sky was turned into lead by thick clouds, and the heavy rain, riding on the strong wind, rushed towards the vast sea, stirring up thousands of waves that rolled endlessly. The waves swept back and forth, sometimes sinking into deep abyss, sometimes emptying and swirling. Spin out.
Looking down from the sky, one can see a speck as small as a mustard seed, swaying and undulating among the rough waves.
That's a small boat.
There were more than 20 figures in black clothes on board the boat. A big man stood alone on the head of the boat, looking at the turbulent sea with unruly eyes.
The robes of these men in black were soaked through and clung to their bodies, outlining the ferocious outlines of their weapons, showing their killing power.
Just by looking at how these people were able to stabilize their bumpy bodies in such a ferocious storm and not be thrown into the sea, you can tell that each of them has a very profound foundation in boxing, and they are at least at the level of a great boxer who has been training for one time.
But even if it is a great boxer, it is still too reluctant to fight against such bad weather. Many people have turned pale and their limbs are weak.
Suddenly, the boat bumped again. A man in black was unable to maintain his posture due to excessive mental exertion and was swept up by the waves. His companions around him wanted to reach out, but they were also a step too slow.
Seeing that this man was about to fall into the sea, a muscle knotted and the tendons were prominent, like an arm made of copper poured into iron, stretched out.
That hand penetrated the rain curtain of heaven and earth, pulled away the surging waves, accurately picked up the clothes of the man in black, and picked him up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"After we go back, let's start practicing again from the horse stance."
The powerful voice without the slightest emotion broke through the sounds of the storm and the stormy waves, resounding in everyone's ears.
After hearing this voice, these great boxers, who were fully qualified to establish a sect on the shore, had a look of complete reverence on their faces.
The man in black whom he rescued bowed his head in shame, feeling ashamed.
At this time, the rain became even more intense. Along with the roaring wind, the torrential rain violently crashed into the turbulent sea, forming a huge wave that swept in all directions.
The distance between heaven and earth seems to have suddenly shortened, leaving only a gap in the world.
In this cramped and narrow gap between heaven and earth, all living beings should bow their heads to show their respect for the power of nature.
But at the bow of the ship, there was another person with his chest exposed, standing proudly despite the beating of the violent waves.
He is the adopted son of Zhu Tiandu, the "Crocodile God of the Four Seas" Zhu Polong.
After several more strong tides, the boat finally got close to the shore.
Because it had been raining so hard these days and the tide was rising so fiercely, the Ming army's nearest outpost to the shore also retreated a mile, so their arrival did not attract the attention of any sergeant.
However, someone still discovered them.
A sound of approval penetrated the rain curtain of heaven and earth and resounded in everyone's ears.
"With a small boat, we can cross the turbulent tide and still keep everyone safe. Over the years, my son's boxing and martial arts have really improved."
Zhu Polong's eyes were horrified, the hair on his body stood up, and he turned his head suddenly.
Thunder struck across the sky and cut through the iron curtain-like clouds. Zhu Polong could clearly see a black shadow floating under the sea surface, coming suddenly.
In another blink of an eye, the black shadow had crossed a distance of five to six feet and came to front of him.
A slender body emerged from the water, but it was a tall man wearing a gray robe.
The man looked about thirty years old, his skin was soft and delicate, and he had a sickly pallor that had not seen the sun for a long time. He looked like a frail scholar in a novel.
But his face is quite broad, with sharp edges and corners, and his thin lips are pursed into a thin line, showing extraordinary determination. His eyes are dark, like the entrance of two ruins caves that reach into the depths of the abyss, and there is a soul-catching demonic quality. .
Behind this man, hurricanes were raging, the sea tides were rolling, and the turbid waves were soaring into the sky, towering like mountains rising, making him look like the Dragon King in human form, making waves and turning the river upside down with every movement.
Zhu Polong took a deep breath, cupped his hands, lowered his head, and suppressed the shock in his heart, but his voice was still trembling.
"Father, why are you here?!"
For a master like him, this is an extremely incredible performance, which shows how much his soul has been impacted.
Although Zhu Polong could barely maintain his composure, the more than 20 great boxers behind him were shocked when they saw this man. They all knelt on the ground and shouted long live the Dragon King.
If they faced Zhu Polong with reverence for the strong, then facing this man, they would be as pious as worshiping a god.
When they landed just now, these big boxers didn't feel the slightest sign of anyone swimming, which meant one thing.
This man walked up from the bottom of the sea!
Walking from the bottom of the sea was actually faster than them taking a boat!
This is not the Dragon King, what is it? !
Zhu Tiandu shook his robe, and the raindrops shot out one after another. Even if the rain was overwhelming, it could not be contaminated, just like the water-repelling magical power in myths and legends.
He turned his head and looked at his adopted son whom he had not seen for a long time. His voice was calm but had an unfathomable meaning.
"I had a feeling yesterday. I thought you would be in danger, so I came here."
Zhu Polong frowned and said doubtfully:
"How could this be? Zhejiang has been suffering from the imperial court for a long time, and the people are gradually losing their support. Most of the masters of the southeastern martial arts have secretly taken refuge with us.
Yu Long is dead, can one Qi Hu stop me and so many great boxers? The emperor also sent experts here? ”
Zhu Tiandu laughed it off.
"Now that I'm here, it doesn't matter anymore."
These words were full of arrogance, but when they came out of his mouth, they didn't sound arrogant or domineering at all. Instead, they sounded natural.
This is the spirit of "the number one bandit in the world".
Zhu Polong nodded heavily and asked in a low voice:
"Father, what about your injuries..."
As the adopted son who inherited all Zhu Tiandu's boxing skills, Zhu Polong knew deeply how serious his adoptive father's injuries were.
Six years ago, during the battle in the southeast, three grandmasters participated in the siege of Zhu Tiandu.
Yu Dayou, who was born in the military, an old master from the southeast, and the chief minister of etiquette from the palace, Lu Fang and Eunuch Lu.
Although Zhu Tiandu used the "Sudden Thunder Strike to Shake the Sky" to kill the old master with declining energy and blood, he once severely injured Yu Long, and was also beaten by Lu Fang with the "Thunder God Strikes the Drum". Hit in the chest, he could only walk away.
In the next six years, although Zhu Tiandu made great progress in boxing due to this battle and reached the superior state of "knowing without seeing or hearing", his physical injuries still failed to fully recover.
This is why, for the past six years, Prince Baolong has lived in seclusion and left all the affairs of the Thirty-Six Ships to his adopted son.
Zhu Tiandu raised his eyes, his eyes bright and lively, and said leisurely:
"For me, this is not an injury, but the cause and effect of not completing the battle in the past. It is also a major hurdle in martial arts.
I have recently learned that if I want to break through the barrier, I must have the determination to give up everything and crush everything.
Over the years, I have taken my life too seriously, which is why I am trapped in this situation. In fact, this is simply unnecessary. ”
Zhu Polong stared at the man he admired most in the world, his throat rolled, and he hesitated to speak.
Zhu Tiandu just raised his head, looked at the storm in the distance, and said with emotion:
"There is a saying in the Book of Changes about 'wind, tiger, cloud and dragon'. Today the wind is extremely strong and the weather is perfect, just in time to send 'Qi Hu' on his way."
In the end, Zhu Polong still said nothing, only said respectfully:
"The foster father took action himself, Qi Yuanjing should have no regrets even if he died."
I recommend a new book by a good brother. It’s pure fighting fun. Friends who like this book can rest assured to read it. The old author is guaranteed.
