Chapter 75 (7) Legend of the Iron Beggar

Kong Youde continued to advance, this time to fight Jieyang, Guangdong, which was occupied by Zheng Chenggong. This Zheng Chenggong is not easy to fight. If he wins, he will go deep into the inland, and if he loses, he will set sail and flee far away.If he wins, you can't run him, if he loses, you can't catch him, how can you win him? Just when Kong Youde was in trouble, a strange man descended from the sky, Wu Liuqi, a strange beggar in the snow, appeared in the history. Wu Liuqi, male, was born in troubled times.Not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear, so I went to the temple and begged the monk: Master, please accept me, don’t let me starve to death.

The old monk in the temple said: Amitabha, so good!Donor, you'd better starve to death, the monk establishment in the temple is already full, there is really no place for you. Wu Liuqi begged, "Master, I just want not to starve to death, whether I can get enough to eat is the second priority.Also, I can work for you and cook for you, is that all right? In any case, Wu Liuqi persuaded the monks and finally stayed in the temple.After that, he lit a fire in the temple and watched the old monk teach the young monk to practice martial arts.One day, the old monk went down the mountain to Huazhai, and the young monk was bored to practice alone, so he called Wu Liuqi, "Come here, and be a training partner for me... Wu Liuqi agreed, went to stand in front of the young monk, punched the little monk, and punched the little monk." The monk was killed.

The old monk came back to see it, he was happy, and said: You are very smart, you know that there are only two establishments in this temple, if you don't beat him to death, how can you become a regular?From now on, you will be an official monk in the temple. From now on, Wu Liuqi will stay in the temple and be responsible for the safety of the temple.One night, a tiger lost its way and entered the temple by mistake. Wu Liuqi grabbed the flower skin on his forehead and beat the tiger to death with three punches and two kicks. The next day, the food was improved in the temple, and the tiger meat passed through the intestines, which left the Buddha in his heart.Everyone was gnawing on the bones of the tiger, and another tiger came to inquire whether the monks had seen his companions.In the end, Wu Liuqi pounced on it again and beat it violently. The tiger had to close its eyes in grief and indignation.

After killing two tigers in a row, the old monk said: Disciple, you are very good at fighting. I like you, so you can go down the mountain and join the army.Remember to join the government army, never join the anti-government armed forces, let alone get involved with rogues.Did you hear me? Wu Liuqi remembered his master's words and went down the mountain.After going down the mountain, he heard that there were no government troops passing by, so he rushed over.But the government army ran faster than a rabbit. When he arrived at the place, the government army had already marched in the middle of the night and went to fight elsewhere.Wu Liuqi chased after him again, but all his money was spent, so he became an honorable beggar.

After that, Wu Liuqi begged all the way to Haining, Zhejiang.Because of the excessive appetite, he could not get enough to eat, and he was so hungry that he couldn't breathe.He was about to starve to death when he met a scholar named Zhai Yihuang.Zha Yihuang felt sorry for Wu Liuqi, so he took Lao Wu to eat at his home.In the end, it was only a matter of three or two meals, and Zhai Yihuang's family was ruined by Wu Liuqi until he went bankrupt. It is implied in the book that this Zha Yihuang is the ancestor of Hong Kong martial arts master Jin Yong.As the saying goes, there is justice in the world, and there will always be rewards for what you give. It’s not that you don’t repay, but it’s just that the time has not yet come... Later, during the Kangxi period, because the folks Zhuang Tingyu was blind in both eyes, he was physically disabled and strong, and worked hard to compile "A Brief History of Ming Dynasty" ".It was learned by Kangxi that this Kangxi hated reading and reading newspapers the most, and immediately ransacked Zhuang's family; he also implicated Zha Yihuang's clan, which was also a disaster of extermination.

This incident happened to be known by Wu Liuqi, so he hurriedly told Zha Yihuang to make preparations, so that the descendants of the Zha family escaped, and the blood of the descendants continued, and finally Master Jin Yongjin was born. Master Jin Yong was grateful for Wu Liuqi's kindness in saving him, so he wrote a martial arts novel in Hong Kong, tampered with Wu Liuqi's personal resume, and insisted that Lao Wu was the incense master of Hong Shuntang of Tiandihui.If Wu Liuqi knew about this matter, he would definitely not follow it, because the Tiandihui was a gangster organization, so Old Wu wouldn't follow along.

Old Wu wants to vote for the government army. So he found Kong Youde here. Kong Youde was overjoyed to get such a general, and immediately ordered Wu Liuqi to lead his troops to kill Zheng Chenggong.Shocked to hear that the strange beggar in the snow had been killed and Jieyang fell, Zheng Chenggong was horrified and sailed away. After Zheng Chenggong left, Hong Chengchou's Southwest Expedition officially kicked off.
