Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 1026

Ma He couldn't understand what he was saying at all, and stared at him blankly.Fang Jianming said the above words because he was too happy. If he explained it to Ma He, he would not understand, so he brought the topic to him and said, "Brother Ma, what is going on with you? I don't know yet."

Ma He knew that only those in the martial arts world could understand what he said, and since he was an idler who was nothing, it would be useless to ask, so he simply didn't ask. Speaking of which, has Fang Daxia heard of the story of the Sanbao eunuch's voyage to the West?"

Fang Jianming said: "I have heard a little about it."

Ma Hedao: "Sanbao eunuch Zheng He, Mr. Zheng, was originally surnamed Ma, and my grandfather was from the same town. After the Battle of Jingnan, Zheng He was given the surname Zheng by the emperor because of his military exploits, and he became the eunuch of the inner palace. Fourth rank. My uncle was young at the time, so he went to join him and became a guard in the palace. Two years later, the emperor suddenly asked Mr. Zheng to lead a team to the West. Because he had practiced martial arts, my uncle became Mr. Zheng's side A guard. Why did you go to the west? My uncle asked Mr. Zheng, but Mr. Zheng couldn’t explain. On the third day when the fleet was sailing southward, an unknown old monk appeared on the boat that Mr. Zheng was on. On the treasure boat. My uncle was the only one beside Mr. Zheng at that time. My uncle was surprised when he saw the old monk, and asked him who he was. Tell Mr. Zheng not to reveal his traces to outsiders. After speaking, the old monk disappeared. Mr. Zheng sent people to search the whole ship, but the old monk was nowhere to be seen. Although my uncle is a martial arts practitioner, he also explained There was no such thing as miraculous. After a few days, the old monk came again. This time he appeared in Mr. Zheng’s room. My uncle happened to be there. Seeing him appearing like a ghost again, I was about to ask him if he was human or not. Ghost, but Mr. Zheng talked with the old monk very affectionately. Afterwards, Mr. Zheng said that this old monk is the highest person in the world, and asked my uncle to keep this matter. Naturally, my uncle listened to Mr. Zheng, so , and did not ask again, but the old monk came and went without a trace, and his gods disappeared, no different from the legendary gods. On the way to the west, although escorted by warships, he also encountered vicious pirates many times. Among those pirates, they were extraordinary martial arts masters, but they were inexplicably set on sleeping holes several times, and were easily captured by officers and soldiers. Even once, they got artillery from nowhere, and a shell flew in. It landed on the treasure ship, but the shell suddenly flew up out of thin air and landed on the sea behind the ship. Everyone said that they were blessed by the gods, but my uncle and Mr. Zheng knew that the old monk had done something secretly. In this way, He is even more regarded as a god descending to earth. Seven times on his voyages to the West, the old monk would appear in Mr. Zheng’s living room and play chess with Mr. Zheng. Sometimes my uncle went in to see Mr. Zheng, and the old monk did not avoid it, while others went in , but I couldn’t see the old monk. It’s really amazing. When my uncle was writing his notes, he couldn’t help including this old monk, but he didn’t dare to write more. The seventh voyage, the fleet Sailing to a new continent, I wanted to go further. At this time, the court didn't know what happened, so they sent a team of warships to chase after him, and ordered Mr. Zheng to return to the voyage. Because of this, they almost fought. In the end, Mr. Zheng It was still the emperor's order, and he led the fleet back to the voyage, but on the way back, Mr. Zheng fell ill and died in a place called Guli. After the fleet returned to Daming, my uncle was strictly controlled by the court. , it wasn’t until my uncle was seriously ill that he didn’t expect to live long before I was released back home. I was young at the time, and my uncle loved me very much, and on his deathbed he gave me some of the experiences of his voyages and his notes. After reading the notes, Frightened and restless, he did not dare to show others easily, so he hid for more than ten years. Last year , I finally couldn't help but handed the notes to my boss Chang Wanke, saying that if this book is valued by the court, it will be of great significance to the development of my Ming Dynasty.Chang Wanke was so greedy for work that he didn't even read it, so he took it to his teacher Chen Gelao. Unexpectedly, after Chen Gelao read it, he was shocked and frightened, so he immediately burned the book and severely punished Chang Wanke. a meal.After questioning, I was immediately arrested and taken to the capital.Fortunately Brother Lei Hai has a good personal relationship with me, he and Sibo Lei went to Mr. Chen Ge to intercede, and Mr. Chen Ge gave them face, so I was not imprisoned.One night, Mr. Chen Ge called me over and asked me seriously: Are you the only one who has read this book?I said yes, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and strictly ordered me not to tell the story of the book, and if he got wind of it, he would never forgive me.I was very angry and asked him why, but he gave a reason.It turned out that he and Zheng He were close friends, and he knew all of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.For the first two times, he agreed with it, but for the next five times, he strongly opposed it.Because voyages to the West seem to be majestic, but the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required are huge, and there are many envoys from various countries. In order to show the wealth and majesty of Ming Dynasty, the gifts that Ming gave to these envoys are often these The number sent by the envoys is tens, hundreds or even thousands of times.If things go on like this, the country will be unbearable and the people will be uneasy.Chen Gelao's idea has some truths, but Mr. Zheng thinks more far-reaching. He is determined to expand Daming's HNA business, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it.The two argued many times and ended up at odds.However, Mr. Chen Ge still respected Mr. Zheng. When he learned that Mr. Zheng died of illness and was on the voyage, he cried bitterly because of it.After reading my uncle's notes, Chen Ge was afraid that the imperial court would spend time and money on navigation. He also knew that the last page of the notes was the most important content. grown ups.So, considering these two points, he personally burned the notes.And because the notebook was my uncle's painstaking effort, I was worried that I would not be able to keep it, so I copied a copy in advance.Alas, if my thoughts were exactly the same as that of Mr. Chen Gel, I would have destroyed the notebook I copied. The reason why I still keep it is to wait for the people in my Ming Dynasty to have enough food and clothing, and the court to be truly enlightened. Take it out and there will be no trouble then.But the world is unpredictable, I have met you now, and I don’t know why so I show it to you, maybe I think you are the most trustworthy person. "

After hearing this, Fang Jianming said gratefully: "Brother Ma, thank you for trusting me so much. I will not tell anyone else about this except for one person."

Ma He changed his face and said, "What? Who else do you want to tell?"
