Chapter 560 Three Masters
The three-stone bow has always been beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.

In the "Wu Jing Zongyao" compiled by the Northern Song Dynasty, archers are graded, and it is said that those who can hold one stone bow are ordinary people, those who can hold two stone bows are cattle, and those who can hold three stone bows are abnormal cattle.But in fact, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty issued a decree for military parades, dividing soldiers into three classes according to the strength of their bows, with seven bows drawn as the lowest class, eight bows drawn as the middle class, and nine bows drawn as the upper class.The so-called nine-dou bow strength in the Northern Song Dynasty was only 94 catties at most, not even a stone.

Regardless of the unofficial history, looking through the more reliable 21 histories, it can be found that the number one in physical strength is Yue Fei, who is born with supernatural power, with a bow of 350 catties!Three hundred catties in the Song Dynasty is equal to [-] catties at this moment, which is stronger than three stones.So Yue Fei is the best of the best - Superman!
When the dynasty was established, it was the legacy of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The folk customs were tough and good at riding and shooting, so the standard for archery masters was raised. A bow strength of about 120 catties is a master, and more than 120 catties can be called "tiger power". In other words, anyone who can open a bow with more than one stone is a sharpshooter.Those who open two stones are masters, and those who open three stones are just legends.

So Wang Xian didn't believe that someone could open the three-stone bow at first, but he was shocked when he saw Zhang Fu's amazing skills.Then he heard that there are still five people in the world who can open a three-stone bow, so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground...

"Then who are they?" Wang Xian asked.

"The identities of these three people are kept secret, but they have a lot to do with you and me."

"Can you still have a relationship with the subordinate?"

"Let me just say it, don't listen to it..." Zhang Fu said in a low voice: "One is Hu Wei, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites who is looking for Zhang sloppy."

"Ah?" Wang Xian didn't expect the first person to scare his jaw off: "Hu, Hu Shilang?" He suddenly saw Mr. Hu with a clear face and a thin figure. Still a master of martial arts!
"Hu Shilang is a direct disciple of Wudang. He has learned all the true knowledge of Wudang. In addition, he is stunningly beautiful and talented. At the age of 36, he became the number one master of Tai Chi in the world. Otherwise, why do you think the emperor sent him to find Zhang Zhenren? Sun Biyun grandson Daoist, why do you let your grandchildren follow him?" Zhang Fu said indifferently: "It's just that Hu Shilang is now a courtier, and we should avoid suspicion with Daoist Sun, because there are not many people in the world who know about it."

"Even if Hu Shilang is a Tai Chi expert, he can open a three-stone strong bow?" Wang Xian still couldn't believe it.

"Taijiquan has a deep understanding of the way of yin and yang. A decisive master like Hu Shilang can store all his strength in one point, and then burst out with a mighty momentum. It is no problem to open a three-stone strong bow." Zhang Fu glanced at him and said: "Is this gentleman like someone who can open a three-stone bow?"

"You are the name of a man and the shadow of a tree. Even if you open a five-stone bow, no one will be surprised." Wang Xian's flattery is so clever that even the cautious British Duke accidentally followed his way.

Zhang Fu spat and scolded with a smile: "My reputation is earned by leading soldiers in battle. What does it have to do with my personal strength? The reason why I and Hu Shilang can do this is because we both practice internal martial arts. It has reached the point where few people can reach it, others use their muscles to exert strength, but we use the sea of ​​energy in the dantian, so it is naturally different."

"So that's the case, but it's a pity that the lower officials are not so lucky." Wang Xian enviously said.

"Actually, it's useless," Zhang Fu said indifferently: "The battles that should be fought are over. Your generation is a generation that enjoys peace. What's the use of martial arts? Why don't you read two more books..."

"Nothing is as reliable as my own ability," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "but it's too late to say anything now, my lord, who is the second person you mentioned?"

"Of course you know what Hu Yan has another secret mission." Zhang Fu said softly.

"I know, the official was in Qingpu County as a pawn at the time, and was involved in it." Wang Xian nodded and said, "I don't know the people in Zhengzhai Town, how are they doing now?"

"The members of the Zheng family are now in Nanyang," Zhang Fu broke the news with a calm expression, "I have seen their members in Annan. Such a united and orderly family can naturally survive anywhere."

"That's good, that's good." Wang Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said that Xiao Bai Cai would definitely be much happier when he heard the news.

"Why, do you still have a crush on the Zheng family?" Zhang Fu narrowed his eyes and said.

"I have a good impression," Wang Xian said fearlessly: "After all, they can still maintain their loyalty to the master under such circumstances. This alone is enough to win the respect of the subordinates."

"En." Zhang Fu nodded, and returned to the topic: "The reason why the emperor sent Hu Wei to this important task is because there are so many masters around him, the most powerful one is... Wuming, who has superb kung fu, and can Open three stone bows."

"No name?" Wang Xian said, "How can such a master be no name?"

"That's right," Zhang Fu broke the news today and said, "Speaking of which, Wuming, I, and the King of Han all share a kind of cultivation method called Dragon Elephant Gong!"

"Dragon Elephant Kung Fu? Isn't that the unique skill of King Kaiping?" Wang Xian couldn't help staring wide-eyed. With this technique, Chang Yuchun always strives to be the first in every battle and is invincible. Only then did he stand out from the thousands of troops and become the number one general in the Ming Dynasty!They complement each other with Marshal Xu, and they are also known as the Twin Walls of the Empire!
"That's right, that's indeed King Kaiping's unique skill. The King of Han and I are worshiped by the third son of the King of Kaiping's family, so we have to teach this skill." Zhang Fu said: "Because the King of Han's martial arts qualifications are better than mine, so the kung fu is also behind me. superior."

"What about Wuming, where did you learn this technique?" Wang Xian thought of a possibility and said, "Or is he the third son of the Kaiping Wang family?"

"That's right, that nameless is Chang Sen, the third son of King Kaiping who passed on martial arts to me and the King of Han!" Zhang Fu nodded and said, "King Kaiping died young, and his eldest son, Duke Zheng, was passed on to Chang Mao. Inheritance, his third son, Chang Sen, was the commander of the bodyguards and was responsible for the safety of Lord Jianwen because of his strong martial arts and being a general. At the end of Jianwen, he went to Beijing today, and Lord Jianwen fled in a hurry. Chang Sen followed him. One of several famous civil and military figures in Beijing." He paused and said, "It is precisely because he knows how powerful Chang Sen is that the emperor used the card of Hu Yun."

"Then there is another one?" Wang Xianxin said disrespect and disrespect, but he and Lao Hu had a good relationship, so there was nothing to worry about, so he asked again.

"There is another one who can be counted as your senior brother." Zhang Fu said: "It is said that your master Yao Shaoshi is the most extraordinary monk in the ages. In fact, decades ago, there was another monk who was not much worse than your master." .”

"Grandpa is talking about Monk Peng?"

"That's right, it's Monk Peng Yingyu Peng." Zhang Fu said with some leisurely fascination: "He is the Patriarch Peng of the White Lotus Sect, the founder of the Red Scarf Army of the Southern School, and the number one master in the south of the Yangtze River in Megatron Tiannan. My Emperor Taizu Most of the team members who fight the world have been educated by him, but because of his great prestige and prestige, not only the people of the Yuan Dynasty regarded him as a thorn in the side, but also some inside the Red Turban Army regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, and finally became a thorn in the side of the foreign thieves. He fell into the enemy's trap... At that time, he received a message from his apprentice, Ou Puxiang, saying that he was besieging Yuanzhou City and was unable to attack it, so he asked him to lead his troops to come to support him. Suspecting him, he led his generals, Kuang Putian and General Manager Min, to join them. Unexpectedly, they bumped into the Mongolian Yuan army on the march and were besieged in Ruizhou City. Jiangxi Youcheng Huo Youchi personally supervised the army to besiege Ruizhou. The monk led the crowd to defend with all their strength, but they were finally outnumbered, the city was slaughtered, and no one, old or young, had any living..."

Wang Xian gasped when he heard that, he never thought that a hero like Monk Peng would fall so tragically.Can't help asking: "Did Monk Peng escape? Since he is the best master in the world..."

"With his skills, it's no problem to escape." Zhang Fu said lightly: "But that's not the righteous Monk Peng. Since he promised his subordinates to live and die together when defending the city, he naturally refused to live alone. Therefore, he rejected the proposals of his apprentices to escort him to break out of the siege several times, and finally died of exhaustion after killing dozens of Yuan troops."

"Monk Peng is indeed a hero." Wang Xian came back to his senses and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Monk Peng is your Master Yao's master." Zhang Fu said.

"Isn't my old monk's master Taoist Xi Yingzhen?" Wang Xianda wondered.

"Then why is your master a monk?" Zhang Fu laughed loudly and said, "Except for a monk like Monk Peng, who else in the world can teach a monk like your master?"

"That's true." Wang Xian nodded in agreement.

"At that time, Monk Peng's disciples were all over the world. Many people blamed Chen Youliang for the death of Monk Peng, so they raised their troops angrily and surrendered to the King of Wu, which greatly increased the strength of our Wu army. During the decisive battle with Chen Youliang, these people all made mistakes. Do your best." Zhang Fu said: "However, it does not include Yao Shaoshi, who was inconspicuous at the time. He did not think that this matter was done by Chen Youliang, but he also knew that King Wu was the lord of destiny to drive out the Tartars, and he knew that he could not fight against King Wu. As an enemy, this is why I worshiped under Xi Yingzhen's sect, learning the art of war and strategy..."

Wang Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he understood why the old monk had to rebel like a convulsion back then. It turned out that there was this revenge for killing his master!

"You said that the third master is the apprentice of the old monk?"

"No, Young Master Yao's martial arts is feminine, and although his disciples are powerful, they are not good enough to use a strong bow." Zhang Fu said, "That man is the son of Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, and Han Lin'er is Peng Yingyu's apprentice, so that man is naturally your senior brother. "

"Son of Han Lin'er..." The corner of Wang Xian's mouth twitched, okay, King Xiaoming has come out. "what is his name?"

"I don't know." Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "I only know that after King Xiaoming drowned, the northern and southern Red Turbans each rescued his son. ..."

"Han, Lin..." Two figures suddenly appeared in Wang Xian's mind!
　I'm sorry, I fell asleep while writing, but I have something on my mind, so I got up at 2 o'clock and continued to write...
