Chen Yufa looked around and saw that it was late at night and there was no one around him. "This plan is centered on you three, Brother Mo, Taoist Yun Qingzi, and Mr. Qingzhu, so there is no need to hide it from Brother Mo. Our infiltration into Japan this time is very different from the infiltration into the Miao tribe five or six years ago. Brother Mo knows where the key is."

Mo Congfeng thought about it and said, "We brought two guides with us to Japan this time. The coast of Japan is so long that we cannot defend everywhere. It should not be difficult to sneak into Japan. Within three months, we learned the Japanese language, took Japanese names, and understood Japanese customs. I think it should not be a problem to hide in Japan for a long time. There are also Han people in Japan, and it is inevitable that some people miss their homeland. With the help of gold and silver, it may not be difficult to obtain intelligence information.

The difficulty lies in how to return, how to cross the vast ocean and return to the Central Plains after obtaining intelligence. Brother Chen, am I right? "

Chen Yufa praised: "Brother Mo is really quick-witted. We don't know when we can get the key information in Japan. It is possible that it will take several years like in the Miao tribe. We can't rely on this merchant ship of Father Wu. After all, Sanchuan and Xiaolin are Japanese. They are not of the same mind as our Ming Dynasty, and we can't control them for a long time. After arriving at the shore, in order to prevent our whereabouts from being leaked, killing them is inevitable. We also have the ability to build boats and seize ships, and we have also learned the means of rowing and blowing sails.

But sailing on the sea is different from sailing on the river. It is difficult to tell the direction in the vast ocean, and the compass and the compass are not flexible and inconvenient to carry. We can only rely on the knowledge of the three of you, Brother Mo, Taoist Yun Qingzi, and Mr. Qingzhu, in observing the stars and positioning. "

"After arriving in Japan, the target of twelve people is inevitably too big. We will be divided into three groups according to the duty groups, and act separately to spy on intelligence and understand the enemy's geography and national strength separately, and then try to return home separately.

We are a group of four. The mission of the three of us is to protect Brother Mo's safety at all costs. Brother Mo's mission is to carry the intelligence back to his homeland. The same goes for the other two groups."

"Tomorrow, after everyone has rested and adapted to life on the ship, I will inform everyone of our plans."

Mo Congfeng knew his mission and believed in Chen Yufa's determination to protect him at all costs. He couldn't help but think of Biti Pavilion and his master and uncle who rushed towards the Japanese cavalry to protect him and his fellow apprentices.

The important things had been discussed, and Mo Congfeng and Chen Yufa chatted about some interesting stories in the martial arts world and exchanged some martial arts experiences. Before they knew it, it was already daybreak.

Mo Congfeng watched a red sun gradually jump up from the sea. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a sight, and he suddenly felt open-minded. He put two fingers together and pointed at the sun and said to Chen Yu with a smile: "This is a good omen. As the saying goes, there are no jackals or tigers on the roads of Kyushu. A long journey does not require an auspicious sunrise."

I heard someone behind me reply, "It is indeed a good omen. The clouds dispersed and turned into mist, and then the mist was gathered and turned into clouds again. A big round mirror of red gold can dispel all the clouds and mist and illuminate the universe."

The two turned around and saw that it was Mr. Qingzhu. It turned out that everyone had woken up. Many martial artists had the habit of getting up early to practice, so some people started to prepare for exercise immediately.

"Good or bad omens are all determined by people. Good or bad omens are always different for different people. This has nothing to do with the sun, moon, and stars." Yun Qingzi continued. Chen Yufa was stunned and shook his head and said jokingly, "Master Yun Qingzi really doesn't look like a cultivator. There are so many people who can predict good or bad luck based on celestial phenomena. How many times have celestial phenomena predicted the fortune, disaster, rise and fall of dynasties? Why is it irrelevant to you, Master?"

Yun Qingzi also shook his head and sighed, "When I was young and just started to learn Taoism, I also felt that Taoism was full of mysteries of fortune and misfortune, but later, the more I read and learned, the more I realized that astrology is just a law, a law related to the seasons and directions."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qingzhu hurriedly stroked his beard and shook his head, saying, "No, no, the heaven and earth respond to man, as the saying goes, man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven. The Seven Stars and Four Remainders of our school are mysterious and unpredictable, and have long made clear the relationship between the numbers of the stars and the numbers of man's fortune.

It is a pity that the Quanzhen Dao sect often slanders our Guolao Xing Sect as a side sect. I see that Daoist Yun Qingzi is from the orthodox Dao sect, so how could he go astray without knowing it? I see that Daoist Yun Qingzi is very impressive, and is a person of good fortune and good qualities. He may attain the Dao in the future, so don't make mistakes!"

Yun Qingzi smiled bitterly, "What superior nature? I have practiced Taoism for more than ten years and gained nothing. How can I talk about attaining the Tao? It is just a dream in the end."

Mr. Qingzhu shook his head and said, "Your Wudang cultivation method has its own drawbacks. Although it is called authentic, it is slightly inferior to our Guolaoxing Sect in several aspects. I will explain it to you in detail. If you are interested, our sect does not have any sectarianism..."

This old man Qingzhu was going to get entangled in the sect's differences again. Chen Yufa felt a headache when he heard Mr. Qingzhu's chattering. He glanced at the other people around him and shook their heads helplessly. Even Brother Mo Congfeng had a bitter look on his face. Only the person involved, Yun Qingzi, had a relatively calm expression.

Chen Yufa already felt that he was not very tactful, but he still pales in comparison to the old man Qingzhu. As a veteran in the martial arts world, the old man Qingzhu especially likes to criticize the various factions in the martial arts world and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Those with poor character cultivation are often affected, and even caused a few fights between masters of the sects that already have poor relationships. Many people secretly said that the old man Qingzhu actually came from the Demon Sect and was especially good at "Magic Sound Filling the Ears". It is not known whether it is true or not, but considering his age, he was born when the Demon Sect was not destroyed, and he may have seen the Eastern Sect Master of the Demon Sect and even received some of the Demon Sect's inheritance.

At this time, Old Man Wu walked over quickly and said with a smile, "My fellow heroes, breakfast is ready. We were in a hurry today, so we only had some simple food. I will catch some top-quality sea fish in the next few days and cook them for you all to taste."

Chen Yufa secretly thought that this old man Wu came at the right time, and immediately told everyone to wash up and prepare for dinner. At this time, Mo Congfeng and others saw the two Japanese, Mifune and Xiaolin, for the first time. Mifune looked to be about 40 years old, short and stout, wearing a black short coat, with a calm look in his eyes and a yellow complexion. He looked like a samurai, but he didn't have the kind of samurai haircut. Xiaolin looked like a half-grown child, tall and strong, with a dodgy look in his eyes, and seemed to be very afraid. At a young age, there was some keratinized hard skin on his face, and it seemed that he was used to the sea breeze.

Another dispute arose during the meal. Old Man Wu prepared two classes of meals, one for himself, the crew and Sanfun Kobayashi, and one for Chen Yufa and others, which had more vegetables and meat than that of ordinary crew members.

The crew members naturally knew the rules and knew that these twelve people were not easy to mess with, so they gathered aside to share the food. However, Sanchuan did not regard himself as an outsider at all. While Chen Yufa and others were being humble, he first filled a bowl with food from the twelve martial artists, and then snatched Xiaolin's bowl and filled it with his own. This angered several people. Wuyouzi, the youngest of the Taishan Sword Sect, was the fastest to act and took the lead in attacking, angrily scolding them twice, "These Japanese slaves are so bold and presumptuous."

He rushed forward and slapped him twice. With the first slap, Mifune dodged it by slightly tilting his body to the side, and Wuyouzi looked surprised. The second slap landed on empty space. It turned out that Kobayashi was short in stature, and was frightened when he saw Wuyouzi rushing towards him, so he fell to the ground, spilling a lot of food.

Wuyouzi's two slaps missed, and he felt ashamed and angry. He drew out his sword and was about to stab the two. Chen Yufa thought to himself that it was not good. He was indeed standing too far away from Mo Congfeng, Taoist Yun Qingzi and Mr. Qingzhu, and was too late to rescue them. At this time, Tian Jinjian of Huashan Sword School unsheathed his sword and blocked Wuyouzi's sword with his sheath. Chen Yufa also shouted in time: "Stop, stop first, why bother?"

Seeing that his actions were fruitless, Wuyouzi had no choice but to give up and said angrily, "These two Japanese slaves really don't know what's good for them. They should be punished. Brother Tian, ​​why are you trying to stop me?"

Tian Jin said: "Fellow Daoist Wuyouzi is too reckless. These two Japanese slaves are still useful. How could they be killed like this?"

Mr. Qingzhu sighed and said to Old Man Wu, "People like us don't care about food and shelter. We should share the joys and sorrows with everyone. Old Man Wu did something bad with good intentions today. We should eat the same food. Why should we differentiate? It is the difference in food that caused this incident."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Wu could only nod in agreement and said, "These two Japanese people don't understand Chinese and offended you heroes. It's all because of my lack of consideration. Please forgive me."

Chen Yufa wanted to lightly cover up the matter and praised, "Mr. Qingzhu is right. Old Man Wu, people like us are used to taking things as they come, and we don't care about these things. From today on, you only need to prepare the meals, and this will save the kitchen chef the trouble. Let's share these extra meat and vegetables with everyone." As he said this, he quickly walked over to help Xiaolin up, took the bowl from Xiaolin's hand, handed it to Old Man Wu, and motioned for Old Man Wu to refill it with rice.

Li Ying of Songshan Sword Sect sneered upon hearing this: "You guys are good people. Who among us doesn't have a deep hatred for these Japanese slaves? Who among us hasn't had a brother who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese? In my opinion, it's fine to share the joys and sorrows with these brothers on the boat, but how can these two Japanese slaves eat with us and share the same food? Just wait until all the brothers have finished eating, and leave some leftovers for these two Japanese slaves to fill their stomachs."

Lu, the head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, said, "Let's not talk about the food for now. We brothers have traveled all over the country and are used to sleeping in the open air. We don't care about these little things. But we escorts value rules the most. These two Japanese are really wild and difficult to tame. If we don't discipline them, there will be trouble in the future. The road ahead is long, so why not set rules for these two Japanese today and let them know how powerful we are."

Tian Jin understood what he meant and said, "We are going to use him. We should use kindness and gentleness to persuade them. How can we hurt them so easily? I am afraid that after punishing them, these two Japanese will not accept it and will feel resentful. What should we do then?"

Lu Biaotou retorted, "If you want him to be obedient, you need to use both the hegemonic and the kingly ways. As the saying goes, the hegemonic way values ​​merit, and will not surrender unless it is submitted. The kingly way values ​​virtue, and will not force a minister unless he comes. The best strategy is to use both kindness and force."

Tian Jin was about to say something, but Wuyouzi glanced at him and said, "Your Huashan sect is the best at being righteous, especially Sect Leader Yue from decades ago. Now decades have passed, and you still have the same original aspirations. You have produced a virtuous gentleman like Brother Tian. In my opinion, if we kill one of the two Japanese slaves and keep the other, it won't affect the remaining one from being a guide. Having hands or feet won't affect a person from being a guide. Besides, hunger and thirst are the most unbearable things for a person. We don't need to torture them. Just starve them for a few meals and let them be thirsty for a few days, and they will surrender."

Mr. Qingzhu stared at Wuyouzi and sighed, "The most difficult thing in the world is to turn what is in someone else's pocket into your own. What is even more difficult is to turn what is in your head into someone else's."

Chen Yufa said, "Please enjoy your meal. The sea breeze is strong and the food is cooling down quickly. Let's eat while it's still hot. I'll take care of this matter, so don't worry too much."

After everyone finished their meal, Chen Yufa called Mifune aside and chatted with him in Japanese for a while, and indeed he managed to calm Mifune down.

Mo Congfeng thought, although Chen Yufa sometimes speaks without restraint, he is also innocent and easy to win people's trust, which is his strength. Mo Congfeng had just finished his meal, and he felt sleepy after being on duty at night, so he found a room and fell asleep.

In his dream, Mo Congfeng seemed to be on the battlefield of Biti Pavilion again. This time, he, his master, uncle and fellow apprentices rushed forward. Thousands of horses were galloping. Mo Congfeng used the Hengshan internal energy Zhenyue Jue and the 36-stroke Huifeng Luoyan sword technique. He moved left and right, forward and backward, and cooperated with his fellow apprentices tacitly. He stabbed several riders and captured several horses. They fought until the sunset. Everyone was exhausted. At this time, a large group of Ming cavalry arrived, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed straight to them were thrown to the ground. After the battle, everyone gathered together. General Li Rusong was saying something, but Mo Congfeng suddenly fell off his horse...

Mo Congfeng woke up from his sleep, only to find that it was already past noon, but he did not feel hungry. He reached into his arms and found a secret book on swordsmanship, which was the "Hengshan Five Divine Sword Techniques".

Mo Congfeng once returned to the mountain gate during a break in the war and reported the casualties to the headmaster. Seeing the decline of the sect, the headmaster had some hope in Mo Congfeng. He taught Mo Congfeng the internal power method of Baoyuan Jue and gave him a copy of "Hengshan Five Divine Sword Techniques". He ordered him to lead his disciples to Liaodong and follow General Li Rusong in preparation for another battle against the Japanese pirates. At the same time, he also spread "Hengshan Five Divine Sword Techniques" to all Hengshan disciples.

The Hengshan Five Divine Swords are the strongest swordsmanship of the Hengshan School. Originally, they consisted of five swordsmanship moves, namely the Furong Swordsmanship - Quanming Furong, the Zigai Swordsmanship - Hexiang Zigai, the Shilin Swordsmanship - Shilin Shusheng, the Tianzhu Swordsmanship - Tianzhu Yunqi, and the Zhurong Swordsmanship - Yanhui Zhurong. Among the 72 peaks of Hengshan, Furong, Zigai, Shilin, Tianzhu, and Zhurong are the highest.

There are also five sword techniques in the Hengshan School of Swordsmanship, named after the five peaks. The so-called Hengshan Five Divine Swords are a combination of the five techniques. In one move, the essence of dozens of techniques in the whole sword technique is included. The essence of dozens of techniques is simplified and integrated into one move. In one move, there is both attack and defense. The power is so strong that it is the best among the Hengshan sword techniques. Therefore, these five sword techniques are collectively called the Hengshan Five Divine Swords.

Originally, this set of swordsmanship could only be learned by the master's direct descendant, but during the invasion of Korea to resist the Japanese, the Hengshan Sword School suffered heavy losses, so the master had no choice but to pass this swordsmanship to all his disciples in the hope that more of them would survive. Mo Congfeng put aside the past, meditated, and silently practiced the Baoyuan Jue.

Mo Congfeng originally practiced the Hengshan Sword Sect's traditional mental method, Zhenyue Jue, but after the sect leader taught him the Baoyuan Jue, he said that the Hengshan Five Divine Sword Jue had been lost. After the previous sect leader restored it and practiced it, he felt that the original internal strength mental method, Zhenyue Jue, was not compatible with the Hengshan Five Divine Sword Jue. Later, after discussing with a senior from the Wudang Sect, he created the Baoyuan Jue mental method that was more suitable for the Hengshan Five Divine Sword Jue based on the Taoist principle of the five elements cycle. So Mo Congfeng switched to practicing the Baoyuan Jue.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dinner time. It was not until the crew on the ship came to call Mo Congfeng to have dinner that Mo Congfeng ended his practice of Baoyuan Jue.

For dinner, there were some sea fish that Mo Congfeng had never seen before. They were probably caught by Old Man Wu and his men today. He found them strange and ate them with gusto. This dinner went smoothly without any incidents.

Mo Congfeng observed Mifune and Kobayashi several times while eating. Mifune didn't seem to like eating seafood and rice, but he liked vegetables and noodles, pork and mutton. It should be because Japan is poor, seafood and rice are common, and vegetables and noodles, pork and beef are hard to eat. He turned to look at Kobayashi again, and saw that he didn't seem to like vegetables and noodles, pork and mutton, but ate a lot of fresh seafood. He felt a little strange, maybe Kobayashi liked the taste of his hometown, or maybe Kobayashi was too honest. But he felt that the two of them looked calm and their emotions had settled down. The panic and fear when they first met had almost disappeared. He could only occasionally see some clues and traces, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

After dinner, Xiaolin wanted to help with the cleaning but was stopped by Chen Yufa. Chen Yufa actually began to teach Xiaolin some basic Kung Fu. Looking closely, it was the popular Shaolin Luohan Fist. Sanchuan was leaning against the side of the boat fishing, and from time to time he looked at the clumsy Xiaolin, and occasionally cursed him like "baka". Although there was no smile on his face, there was a sense of peace.
