[Comprehensive martial arts] Wuji his brother

When Zhang Wuzhang joined them, he had already entered Jiangxi, he found a nearby town to stay, and arrived in Yuanzhou around noon the next day.

King Yinye didn't intend to stay for long, and led Zhang Wuzhang to present congratulatory gifts to show the support attitude of the Eagle Sect to King Zhou. He would leave after staying for a few days.

Peng Yingyu also appeared at the table. Although he is a monk, he is not afraid of meat and fish. He sits on the table and eats according to the order. The brothers of Grandmaster Maitreya who are sitting with him chat and laugh from time to time.

Zhou Ziwang led an eight or nine-year-old boy to each table to compete for wine, and when he arrived at their table, he introduced him specifically: "This is a dog, Yang Ze, this is your senior brother Zhang, you two are about the same age , can play together."

Zhang Wuzhang lowered his head and smiled, he saw that the little boy was weak and hadn't learned martial arts, he was not like his father.

After the banquet was over, King Yin Ye asked: "How is it? You have seen today's posture. With so many congregational supporters, do you think Zhou Ziwang can't last long?"

"No one can say for sure." Zhang Wuzhang asked instead, "But the Young Master Zhou I saw today is weak in writing and elegant, and I'm afraid he looks like his mother."

King Yinye didn't have a son himself, so he liked to inquire about this, and he felt that he was in the same boat as Zhou Ziwang, and sighed: "He has a pair of sons and daughters and a mother with the same birth, and the son has insufficiency when he falls to the ground. He can't practice martial arts, so I don't know what about the daughter."

Zhang Wuzhang remembered that in the original book, Chang Yuchun took a young son to seek refuge. Thinking about it, Zhou Ziwang entrusted his daughter to someone else, so he didn't care.

The two discussed for a while, and then went to sleep. Zhang Wuzhang got up early the next day, and bid farewell to King Yin Ye.

King Yinye was taken aback: "Leaving so soon? King Zhou even held a family banquet today, invited us to the table, and sent someone to mention you."

If Zhou Ziwang wanted to introduce his son to everyone, he would definitely need a reason.Zhang Wuzhang was very unwilling to act as a foil for others, but King Yin Ye's intentions were already obvious, so he could only say: "That's fine, I'll leave tomorrow, is Monk Peng also at the table?"

"Yes, we will all give face to King Zhou, don't worry." King Yin Ye sneered, paused, and then comforted him, "Aren't you always interested in shipbuilding? King Zhou started here, and his men have the best shipwrights."

The second half of the sentence made Zhang Wuzhang's heart skip a beat. The time to take Xie Xun back to the Central Plains is not yet ripe. Shipbuilding craftsmen and the like can be delayed, but he really lacks a lot of other craftsmen.

Zhang Wuzhang attended with King Yin Ye, but he saw that there were only a few people at the table, apart from Zhou Ziwang and Young Master Zhou, Monk Peng was there, and there was also a strong and strong man, although he did not hold a weapon, he had thick fingers and muscular arms violently.

This person was not present yesterday, Zhang Wuzhang took a look at him, then heard Zhou Ziwang say: "Emissary Zhuang Qi will arrive early this morning."

Zhang Wuzhang understood that Yin Tian was teaching him about the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner, and Zhuang Zheng, who made the Ruijin Banner Banner, was probably the one in front of him. He was good at wielding a mace, and his arms were born with incomparable strength. He was a tough man .

Zhuang Zheng was also looking at him, seeing Zhang Wuzhang's smiling face, he looked young, but he could move and walk with a certain grace, looking at his breath, it was obvious that he possessed profound internal strength.

He couldn't help but sighed in his heart that King Ying taught his children well, and he got up and said, "Unexpectedly, King Yinye will also come, and my Mingjiao will be able to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, and restore the world of our Han family!"

King Yin Ye was much more polite to him than Peng Yingyu, and he bowed his hands and said: "That's true. Although my father has different political views with the other Dharma kings and Guangming left envoys, he has never expelled himself from the religion."

The relationship between the Five Elements Banner and the Dharma Kings is unknown, but King Yin Ye knew that they had great conflicts with Yang Xiao, so when he mentioned Zuo Shi, Zhuang Zheng gave a cold snort of disdain.

Now the situation of Mingjiao is chaotic, several dharma kings dislike Yang Xiao, the left envoy, the Five Elements Banner also dislikes Yang Xiao, and the five scattered people also dislike Yang Xiao.Yang Xiao saw that everyone was not pleasing to the eye, but he had the righteousness, so he could justifiably stand on the top of the light.

As for the conflicts between the King of Fa, the Five Sanren and the Five Elements Flags, they are also complicated and can't be figured out.Only this time during the banquet, several people chatted constantly, Zhang Wuzhang and Young Master Zhou sat beside him, and the audience was quite lively.

He glanced around and asked about King Zhou's capable shipbuilders. Zhou Ziwang was aroused, put down his wine cup and sighed: "Yuanzhou depends on Yuanhe. I originally wanted to show off the navy. It's a pity that the best skilled craftsmen are still controlled by the Tartars, and these people are useless."

The Yuan Dynasty had extremely strict control over the Han people. Ordinary people could not find even a little bit of metal in their homes. A kitchen knife had to be used by each village in turn. In addition, the wisdom of the people had not yet been developed, and the craftsmen of the folk were not at the same level as those in the hands of the court.

But Zhuang Zheng said: "Brother Zhou's words are not entirely true. If you talk about capable people and craftsmen in this world, who can compare to Master Lu? It is rumored that he is a descendant of Lu Ban, let alone a lackey of those Tartars. In my opinion, Even if Lu Ban is alive, he may not be comparable to him."

King Yin Ye said: "I've also heard of Master Lu's name, but it's a pity that he doesn't like to get involved in the affairs of the Jianghu, and he went there early because there are no holidays. It's really a big loss for me."

As the envoy of the Ruijin Banner, Zhuang Zheng is also very interested in forging, and he is also very familiar with Master Lu's lineage, so he said: "Master Lu has a famous successor disciple, whose surname is Zhu Mingting, and his craftsmanship is very good. .”

Zhang Wuzhang smiled slightly when he heard a familiar name.He has been inquiring about Zhu Ting all the time, but it's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng and others are just getting famous at this time, and Zhu Ting's name is not widely known after his debut.

Unexpectedly, I met a sensible person today. He showed a very interested look and asked, "Zhuang Qi envoy, this Zhu Ting, where is he? I want to see and see, what are the successors of Master Lu?" ability."

"He always likes all kinds of strange things. I met him in Fujian last month, and he is still studying how to make wooden people walk." Zhuang Zheng thought for a while, "He seems to have mentioned that he will go to Yunnan and Burma for a generation. .”

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Wuzhang staring at him with bright eyes, thinking that youngsters of this age also like these novelty things, the little hall master of Tianying Sect is not exempt.

Zhuang Zheng laughed heartily, and immediately described Zhu Ting's description to him in detail, and reminded him kindly: "He is proud of his pair of skilled hands, but like Master Lu, he doesn't like to be ordered by others, let alone the one he created. Things, although novel and interesting, are of no great use, so don't spend too much effort on them."

Zhang Wuzhang smiled and said: "If he can really make wooden people walk, this alone can benefit ordinary people infinitely, how can it be said that it is not of great use? In ancient times, Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times. I went to invite him several times. What's the matter?"

Although he said it with a smile, the expression between his brows was serious, it was definitely not a joke.Zhuang Zheng thought about it, but he couldn't understand what a few small wooden figures that could walk could be of great use, so he said, "If you can meet each other, maybe you can really make a good friend."

If this little hall master is not looking for Zhu Ting for personal pleasure, but he underestimated him earlier, this person should not be underestimated.Zhuang Zheng thought about it in his mind, and clinked a glass with him specially: "I wish you a successful start!"

Zhang Wuzhang gulped it down, turned his head and smiled at Zhou Ziwang who had been sizing him up calmly, "Since King Zhou doesn't plan to build a naval army in the near future, can you give me some skilled craftsmen?"

It is naturally inappropriate to ask someone who has just met, Zhang Wuzhang is taking the opportunity to imply that the cooperation between Zhou Wang and Tianying Cult can be closer.

Zhou Ziwang had just started his army, and what he lacked most was money and goods, and the Tianying Sect had dominated the southeast for more than [-] years, which could provide him with strong support.

Zhang Wuzhang waited for Zhou Ziwang to discuss the conditions, but unexpectedly Zhou Ziwang said bluntly: "Everyone is from the same sect, Master Zhang has already spoken, I will let them leave with you for the trivial matter of a dozen craftsmen." .”

This development was not the same as what Zhang Wuzhang thought, he stood up and toasted Zhou Ziwang with no expression on his face: "Then thank King Zhou."

King Yin Ye was also very satisfied that Zhang Wuzhang thought of such a name to get closer to King Zhou, but seeing Zhou Ziwang agreeing, he was quite strange, so he looked at him a few more times.

Zhou Ziwang took Zhang Wuzhang's hand, and led him to hold Young Master Zhou, sighed: "In the future, you will still be each other's arms." When the two of them sat down holding hands, he deliberately smiled at them.

Zhang Wuzhang made him laugh so hard, but judging by Mr. Zhou's appearance, he knew it well, but it was not easy to ask at this time.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Ziwang smiled and said: "I still have a daughter in my family. The children of the Jianghu don't pay attention to these details, so I invited her to come out to meet everyone. I also want to ask Senior Brother Peng to accept her as an apprentice."

Peng Yingyu knew that he was talking nonsense, she had never heard of her daughter's family learning martial arts from a monk, so she still wanted to save face for her junior, and said in a rough voice, "Okay!"

Mr. Zhou personally went into the inner hall to invite him, and not long after, he led a very beautiful girl out.Zhou Ziwang smiled and said: "This is the little girl, the small character is Zhiruo."

Zhang Wuzhang almost spit out his wine. He clearly remembered that Zhou Zhiruo was a poor girl from a fisherman's family. When Chang Yuchun took Young Master Zhou to seek refuge in the Hanshui River, she happened to get on her father's fishing boat, causing her father to be thrown into disorder by the Yuan army. Killed by an arrow, why did she become Zhou Ziwang's daughter in the blink of an eye?

He thought for a moment, could it be that Chang Yuchun saw that there was no hope of escape, so he changed clothes between her and the fisherman's son in order to hide the truth?Otherwise, how could the young master Zhou who should be protected by Chang Yuchun die, but the fisherman's girl survived.

Thoughts were spinning in Zhang Wuzhang's mind, but Yin Yewang was furious, he said why Zhou Ziwang was so polite and talkative, so he wanted to snatch his son-in-law away.

It's just that because it's the banquet, some things can't be said clearly, so as not to damage the reputation of his daughter's family, Yin Yewang had no choice but to stay silent, and took a few sips of wine to suppress the fire.

Zhou Ziwang asked the three juniors to leave the table to play by themselves, Zhang Wuzhang was still thinking about his mind, talking with them whether or not.

Young Master Zhou was still ignorant, but Zhou Zhiruo saw that his thoughts were not here, so he deliberately led Young Master Zhou to talk to her so as not to disturb Zhang Wuzhang.

Zhang Wuzhang didn't agonize over Zhou Zhiruo's identity for a long time, he was distracted in the second half to how to improve Zhu Ting's favorability, and technical talents were hard to please.

When he came back to his senses, he smiled at Zhou Zhiruo. The other party had such meticulous thoughts at a young age, and he matched up with the one in the original book.

——————————————————————————————————————

Zhang Wuzhang left the next day, under the guise of going to find Zhu Ting quickly.Zhou Ziwang seemed to regret not being able to give him his daughter Amway, so he still sent two cronies to follow him on the road.

Zhang Wuzhang declined all of them politely, he traveled alone, from Yuanzhou to Fujian, and then to Yunnan, after a lot of effort, he finally found someone with the same appearance as Zhu Ting described by Zhuang Zheng.

Zhu Ting is a fat man, rich and perfect, only his hands are dexterous, delicate and graceful, and now he is holding a jade teapot in his hands, and he is also wandering in the street.

There was a craftsman on the street who was chopping bamboo, and it was as thick as chopsticks in a blink of an eye.Zhu Ting saw that although his technique was fast, it was not a carpenter's technique, but a murderous technique, so he knew that this man was a layman in handicrafts.

He didn't care at all how a person from the rivers and lakes would come to the corner of the street to do handicrafts, and was about to leave directly, but unexpectedly, the other party's palms were open, and five fingers were covered with thin strings, and five small kites flew up.

These kites vary in size, the largest one is no more than a third of the size of an adult's palm, and the smallest one is only worth two copper coins.Zhu stopped for a while, the size of the kite was not a problem, the key was that it was noon, the street was sultry and there was no breeze, how could anyone be able to fly a kite?

He turned his head to look, but saw these five kites, with peach blossom paper as wings, the thickness should be a piece of paper divided into two strands, and the skeleton is a bamboo that is only slightly thicker than a hair.

Zhu Ting only glanced at it, and said, "Don't use peach blossom paper. Although this paper is light and thin, it is too floating. Look at these five kites, none of them can fly steadily."

The other party ignored him, flying the kite with one hand and continuing to cut bamboo with the other.

Zhu Ting walked around the booth a few times, seeing that the wind brought by him alone made the kite sway wildly, and couldn't help but said again: "It is not enough for the skeleton to be thin, and the fibers must be even. , when you split, you must turn your knife carefully and follow its natural lines..."

The carpenter——Zhang Wuzhang looked up at him only now, but he was very cooperative. He collected the five kites, pinched the bamboo with one hand, and used the knife with the other.He did it with great care, but seeing Zhu Ting still had a horrible expression on his face, he simply handed him the hatchet: "Here, are you coming?"

Zhu Ting wanted to hear his words for a long time, so he was not polite at the moment, rolled up his sleeves, threw away his hatchet in disgust, took out a tool box from his sleeve, opened it, and picked up a small carving knife : "Wait!"

He started quickly, steadily and ruthlessly, and after a while he finished whittling the wood, and went to the cloth shop next door to buy a bolt of silk, which he used instead of peach blossom paper, and remade a small kite in the shape of a butterfly.

Zhu Ting's kite was even smaller, only slightly bigger than a copper coin. After he finished it, he didn't need to use his internal force to move it secretly like Zhang Wuzhan. With a light pull on the fishing line, the kite would float by itself. The wings were still shaking.

Zhang Wuzhang watched from the side, sincerely admiring his dexterity, he practiced for a whole month to make the miniature kite fly, but he didn't want Zhu Ting to look at the finished product, so he mastered the trick.

This is what Zhang Wuzhang saw in his previous life. The kite that can fly without the wind is an intangible cultural heritage of a certain city. He watched TV and listened to it at the time. In this life, he happened to remember it, so he made it as bait. Sure enough, Zhu Ting jumped into the pit without saying a word.

Zhu Ting made two or three kites in succession, each flying more stably than the other, and then he turned his gaze from the kite to Zhang Wuzhang: "May I ask who you are?"

Of course he could see that this person was here to squat him, but Zhu Ting didn't care at all, the more people who use novel handicrafts as a stepping stone, the better.

Zhang Wuzhang said: "I'm from the Sky Eagle Sect, and I'm a friend of Zhuang Qishi and Lu Xiaofeng."

Zhu Ting fixed his eyes on him, and said coldly: "Who is Lu Xiaofeng, I don't know him?"

Zhu Ting and Lu Xiaofeng are friends who grew up wearing a pair of trousers. Whenever Lu Xiaofeng is in trouble, Zhu Ting will rush to the scene without hesitation, but the two of them occasionally like to play "I will never play with you again" tricks.

Zhang Wuzhangquan assumed he didn't hear the second part of his sentence, and said with a smile: "I heard from the envoy Zhuang Qi that Boss Zhu is researching the method of making the puppet move today? I wonder if there is any result?"

He stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face, besides, Zhu Ting didn't really hate Lu Xiaofeng, he looked at the kite in his hand, and said: "When was the last time I saw Lao Zhuang, I already made it, do you want to see it?"

Not long after he successfully developed it, it was the time when he most wanted to show off to someone, so he pulled out a wooden figure the size of a palm from his sleeve.Zhu Ting first disassembled the joints, and repaired the iron pieces placed in them.

Zhang Wuzhang poked his head to look, and saw that the joints inside were similar to the rudimentary gears of later generations, and he couldn't help sighing that a tech house changed the world.When Zhu Ting finished the demonstration, with a proud "come and praise me" expression on his face, he showed a slight disappointment, and said in his mouth: "Boss Zhu's craftsmanship is really amazing, it's an eye-opener for me."

Zhu Ting saw that Zhang Wuzhang was not like ordinary people, his eyes were fixed on his wooden man, but he didn't seem to be touched at all, he was quite dissatisfied, and said displeasedly: "You don't really praise my craftsmanship, why bother?" Say those nice words?"

Zhang Wuzhang raised his head abruptly and looked straight into his eyes. Every twitch of his eyelashes and the slightest movement of his eyes were filled with the word "sincerity". Being able to move is really admirable, but...it's very different from what I thought..."

Zhu Ting couldn't help being moved by the young man's intentions. He could see that Zhang Wuzhang was a layman in handicrafts. It was very likely that he had a small idea and a lot of hard work to create this Wuzhang. A kite that can fly with the wind.

With such sincerity, why should he speak ill of him if he came here to see how his skills are?Zhu Ting took a breath and asked, "Oh, I don't know what the little brother originally thought?"

"I thought Boss Zhu was making puppets that were as tall as people, but I thought that if we could make a large number of them and put them in the fields to replace the common people in farming, how much suffering would it save them?" Zhang Wuzhang stared at the little puppet. The puppet, and then sighed, "Boss Zhu is the most skilled person in the world, so I was too whimsical." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and was about to leave.

"..." After Zhu Ting said the first sentence, his face was filled with the shock of discovering the brave new world. It wasn't until Zhang Wuzhang walked a distance away that he came back to his senses and roared, He threw off his steps and chased after him, "Little brother, wait! Wait!"

Zhang Wuzhang smiled secretly, turned around suspiciously, but saw Zhu Ting's body was shaking with fat, he was out of breath from exhaustion, but his face was full of smiles.He stopped quickly, stepped forward to support the other party, and asked, "Boss Zhu, what's the matter?"

Zhu Ting grabbed his hand, his eyes flashed brightly: "Little brother, did you really mean what you just said?" Although the world was amazed by what he did, it was just for fun. No one has ever said that it can be generalized.

Zhang Wuzhang showed an offended expression, and slowly said: "It wasn't from the heart, why did I go to such great lengths to find Boss Zhu? After I found out your whereabouts from the Zhuang Qi envoy, I chased you all the way from Fujian. Here, three full months of effort were wasted."

The last time Zhu Ting met Zhuang Zheng, he did reveal his intention to go to Fujian for a visit, so he had no doubts at the moment, and said with a smile: "Little brother, let's find a restaurant and talk about it in detail, how about?"

Zhu Ting doesn't like to meddle in things, usually when he encounters troubles, it's because of Lu Xiaofeng's troubles that indirectly implicates him, but this doesn't mean that he just wants to be an idler.

The two ordered a large table of food and wine, Zhu Ting ate a few mouthfuls to suppress the excitement in his heart, and then sighed: "To tell you the truth, in fact, I really thought about it this way. If I can create something that doesn't need How beneficial would it be for the people to come to a wooden man who can farm and work by himself? It’s just that my ability is limited after all, and there are too many things I want to get, but I definitely can’t do it.”

Zhang Wuzhang laughed and said, "People say you are the 'Boss Miaoshou', but in my opinion, 'Boss Miaoxin' is more appropriate. Manpower is limited after all, but imagination is endless. It’s a new thing that came out, I believe you should have many shocking ideas in your mind!”

Zhu Ting's eyes brightened, he drank the wine in his glass, and said hesitantly: "Boss Miaoxin, boss Miaoxin! Good, good!"

Zhang Wuzhang boiled some chicken soup for his soul that "as big as the heart is, as big as the stage" and poured it down. After eating a meal, Zhu Ting felt a sense of confidant.

When the meal was almost finished, Zhang Wuzhang said: "To tell the truth from what Boss Zhu said, I often have a lot of fantasies in my heart. It would be great if people could grow wings and fly in the sky; How wonderful it would be to see the beautiful scenery of the whole world; today we ride horses, but the horsepower is limited after all, if we can build a car that doesn’t stop and is faster than horses, how wonderful it would be ?”

Zhang Wuzhang knew that he was an ordinary person, he just plagiarized the inventions of the times, but Zhu Ting was really a strange man who was beyond the times, he had even thought about these thoughts before, and swept the table full of dishes with a swish of his arm Most of the time, "Huo" got up and cheered loudly: "Yes, yes, I, Zhu Ting, consider myself a high-ranking and widowed man. I wanted to be a lazy person in this life, but suddenly my life has passed. I never thought that I would still hear such words in my lifetime." Speech!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He was so excited that he couldn't hold it back, wishing he could drag Zhang Wuzhang to sleep on the same bed, talking about him for a few days and nights, but he heard someone next to him laughing and saying: "Two drunkards have poured enough cat urine, but they come to spray feces, It is also a wonder in the world, haha!"

Zhang Wuzhang sneered inwardly. It was after they had sat down for a while that this group of people arrived. It seemed that seeing their enthusiasm, they purposely sat closer to this side. When they said something, they whispered and laughed for a while. Take their word for the drink.

This place is located in Gansu Province, close to Qingcheng Mountain. Although they did not wear martial arts uniforms, their sabers used the Qingcheng style.

Zhang Wuzhang had noticed it a long time ago, but he just didn't bother to take care of it. After finally mobilizing Zhu Ting's emotions, why spoil the atmosphere for some vulgar people?Afterwards, double the venue and get it back.

Zhu Ting showed anger, and wanted to say something, but Zhang Wuzhang stopped him, he stood up, and said: "We are talking louder, we really shouldn't bother you—Xiao Er, please open another private seat for us , the food and drink are served again."

Of course he wanted to hit him. The other party saw that he was a shameless person, so why not show his big belly in front of his new friends first, and then slap him in the face?

Sure enough, the other party kicked their noses in the face, and four or five of them laughed in a strange way, and the leader even said: "You talk loudly, so you're just a bitch who quarreled with your grandpa and wanted to run with your tail between your legs? If you don't give it to your grandpa?" Knock your head three or five times, and give me your life here today!"

He finished speaking a sentence completely, but Zhang Wuzhang didn't see any reaction, he burst out laughing, and was about to say something more, when he took a closer look, he saw Zhang Wuzhang's figure tremble, and he came close in the blink of an eye.

He only felt the purple air flashing in front of his eyes, and the opponent's face also disappeared in front of his eyes. After blinking hard, the opponent retreated to the same place again.

The Qingcheng disciple paused for a few breaths, Fang felt severe pain all over his body, looked down again, blood spurted out from seven large acupoints all over his body, he just made a "plop", and fell to the ground like a dead dog.
