As soon as these words came out, the crowd in the audience found it even more incredible. The leader of the Taoist priests, Mr. Zhenyin, said: "This little Taoist friend looks like he is only in his early ten years. How can he achieve such great deeds at such a young age? Mr. Ruxiang, what is going on? ?”
Li Yong crossed his hands to Mr. Zhenyin and said: "You shouldn't tell lies in front of a real person. In addition to Yong and others, there was actually an official ship on the river that day, and the man on board was Zuo Jinwuwei General Pei Min."
Mr. Zhenyin said: "Zuo Jin Wuwei is a high-ranking official of the third rank and is in charge of the Yiwei in the palace. How come he came to Hanshui?"
Master Ge Zhuang told Cang Tou: "Bring the sword up..."
Cang Tou carried up a sword stand and took out a long sword. He arranged the scabbards and swords on the upper and lower levels of the sword stand. Jiang Shuo stood on the stage and saw clearly the unique ashwood scabbard and the seven-star-studded sword. The sword blade is indeed Pei Min's seven-star sword.
Mr. Zhenyin said: "Pindao once watched General Pei's sword dance in the Huacalyx Xianghui Tower. This seven-star sword is indeed General Pei's sword. So it is General Pei who stabbed the black dragon to death with one sword?"
Li Yong said: "It was General Pei's sword that killed the black dragon, but not General Pei himself."
Mr. Zhenyin said: "Mr. Ruxiang, please let me go around..."
Nan Jiyun said: "I was the closest to the official ship that day, and I saw it clearly. I saw General Pei's sword piercing the dragon's belly. Although the black dragon was severely injured, it was still brave. It overturned General Pei and jumped into the water, only to see this The children held the hilt of the sword and fell into the water together." He pointed at Jiang Shuo with his hand, and everyone's eyes gathered. Jiang Shuo felt his face getting hot and wanted to hide behind Li Yong. Li Yong held his hand and asked him to lean against him. side.
Nan Jiyun continued: "When the black dragon fled downstream, it was attacked by the white dragon king in Hanshui River."
Ge Ruliang added: "The so-called White Dragon King is the king tuna in the river. It lives in the sea on weekdays and migrates into the river in autumn. Ruliang calculated the place where it would travel on the day of the Han River War, and then led the black dragon there. When we started, the white dragon didn't show up when we didn't want to hunt, and it wasn't until the black dragon was seriously injured and fled that he launched a sneak attack."
Mr. Zhenyin said: "I think the reason why the white dragon attacks the black dragon is because of the incompatibility of physical properties. As long as an object lives for a long time, it will have spirituality. The white dragon king is as cunning as the black dragon. He hides when the black dragon is showing its power and waits for it to be seriously injured. Attacking again shows how cunning it is."
Nan Jiyun cupped his hands and said, "What Mr. Zhenyin said is that the two dragons were fighting in the water and descending. How could we catch up with the dragon king in the water? By the time we caught up, the two dragons had already died on the sandbank in the middle of the river. , this child is also very lucky, he was dragged by the black dragon through the water for several miles and he was not shaken off..."
Cheng Ang said: "As for me, I was at the last place during the hunt that day. When the black dragon fled, the rear team of the fleet became the front team, and I, old Cheng, became the first one. That day was watching the moon. The river was very clear. Although we couldn't catch up, we could follow the waves of the two dragons fighting until they hit the sandbar. I was the first one to board the sandbar, but I saw the white dragon being bitten. After two paragraphs, the black dragon was slashed with a long sword, and the two dragons were completely dead. Is this child..." He touched Jiang Shuo with his hand and said: "Lying on the beach, all the muscles and bones of his body were broken. He was injured in more than a dozen places, and we all thought at that time that he would not survive, but we didn’t expect that Master Ge Zhuang’s wonderful rejuvenation skills actually saved him.”
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: Brother Cheng didn't see me taking the White Dragon Pill that day. Later, he fed me the Black Dragon Pill but didn't say anything about it.
Mr. Zhenyin expressed his compassion and sighed: "There are such strange things, it is really a fate."
Yan Zhuang said: "So, the person who slays the dragon should be this little brother."
He pointed at Jiang Shuo, and Jiang Shuo hurriedly hid behind Li Yong and said, "No, no... If I have to say it, it was General Pei who killed the black dragon."
Yan Zhuang said: "Otherwise, otherwise..."
Cheng Ang said: "Why do you, a little birdie, always have to sing the opposite tune?"
Yan Zhuang said: "Mr. Cheng, don't be upset, just listen to me."
Cheng Ang said angrily: "Tell me, tell me, I want to hear what flowers you can tell me..."
Yan Zhuang asked Nan Jiyun: "Nan Ba, that day General Pei thrust his sword into the belly of the black dragon. How deep was it and how big of a hole was it made?"
Nan Jiyun said: "I'm far away so I can't see clearly, but the child is weak, so I think this wound must have been caused by General Pei..."
Yan Zhuang added: "Otherwise, otherwise... General Pei would probably have just stabbed into the black dragon's belly without slicing it open."
Cheng Ang choked and said, "Then you are just guessing. You haven't seen it with your own eyes."
Yan Zhuang said: "Although Zhuang has not seen it in person, I think if the long sword pierces and pulls like this..." He gestured sideways with his hand, "Then the black dragon jumped into the river, will the sword still hang on?"
The heroes in the audience all nodded in agreement after hearing this. Indeed, the seven-star sword is on the stage. The blade is straight and there is no hook. If the long sword cuts a hole in the belly, the child will naturally not be able to hang it on the black dragon. .
Yan Zhuang added: "Listen to what Cheng Lang said, the black dragon fought with the white dragon in the water for more than ten miles, and finally bit the white dragon in two, right?"
Cheng Ang glared and said, "Yes...yes..."
Yan Zhuang said: "That means General Pei's stab did not kill the black dragon. There is another person who broke the belly and slayed the dragon." After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Shuo, who had hidden most of his body behind Li Yong, and smiled. He bowed to Li Yong with his hands crossed and stopped talking.
Li Yong was speechless for a moment, then Master Shenhui, the leader of the monks, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, since the boy is here, why not ask Xiao Tanyue to tell you about the situation that day."
This Shenhui was a great monk about sixty years old. He was fat and had a kind face. His words were kind and not scary, but Jiang Shuo had never seen such a battle. When he suddenly heard the great monk calling him, he just went to Li Yong hid behind his back, not daring to show his head. Li Yong comforted Jiang Shuo and said, "Don't be afraid, kid, just tell the truth."
That day, except for Ge Ruliang, the other three people on the river had a tacit understanding with Li Yong. No matter who killed the black dragon, they would only recommend Ge Ruliang as the new leader of the rivers and lakes. They did not want the black dragon to die at the hands of the child in the end. Everyone thought that that day There was no one else on the river, so in order to avoid any complications, I hid in the Tong'er section. Unexpectedly, Yan Zhuang came here well prepared today. Under his pressure, these heroes were unwilling to lie and told the truth. Li Yong was relieved to see that the matter had come to this and encouraged Tong Er to tell the truth. the truth.
Jiang Shuo stepped forward, crossed his hands and bowed to everyone in the audience, and said: "I want to make it clear first that it was indeed General Pei on the official ship that day. In addition, there were also Secretary Superintendent He Zhizhang He Lao, and Hanlin Li Taibai who was waiting for an edict. gentlemen."
Upon hearing this, the group of heroes immediately started talking, and the red-robed Liyuan disciples showed expressions of sudden realization. Li Yong asked, "Is it Li Taibai, the Qinglian layman in Sichuan?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Exactly, I am Mr. Taibai's student boy. My original name was... this... Supervisor He named me 'Jiang Shuo', which is derived from it."
Li Yong nodded and said: "When Li Taibai came out of Shu, Yong was the governor of Yuzhong. At that time, he was still a young boy in his early twenties. He had already written quite well, but he also had a bad temper. As soon as we met, he talked about the art of the emperor. I mentioned a few words to him and he became unhappy. He left a poem to say goodbye the next day... I still remember that the first two lines of the farewell poem were "Da "Peng rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles." Unfortunately, although Taibai's literary talent is good, he is too wild and unruly. I heard that he failed to do so many times and spent half his life, but this time he was called to the Imperial Academy? "
Jiang Shuo then told how He Zhizhang delivered the decree, how Li Bai left Nanling, and how he walked to Beijing by water. Li Yong said: "I see, Taibai is already in Chang'an at this moment. Have you heard about it in Liyuan?"
Mr. He smiled and said: "Tong'er turned out to be Mr. Taibai's student boy. What a coincidence. When I came from Chang'an, Mr. Taibai's family was in full swing. Whenever he went out or entertained guests, he always ordered Taibai to serve him."
Only then did Jiang Shuo know that Li Bai had arrived in Chang'an safely and was favored by the saint. He had thousands of questions to ask Mr. He, but Li Yong said: "Today in front of all the heroes in the world, we are not just reminiscing about the past." At that time, Tong'er, tell everyone how you fell into the water that day and how the two dragons behind you died at the same time."
Jiang Shuo then told everything about the situation that day. This was the first time he told outsiders except Xun Ni Xiang'er, but he had replayed the situation of that day countless times in his heart and dreams. Now he said It was told in detail. Apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, it became smoother and smoother. From when General Pei stabbed the black dragon, he fell into the water with the black dragon by mistake, to when the white dragon suddenly appeared, and the plan to attack the black dragon almost succeeded. However, he was bitten by the black dragon. The two dragons fought and finally rushed to the sandbank. The black dragon bit the white dragon to death. When chasing him, he suffered a broken stomach and intestines and died. There are only two things left unsaid, one is the incident of the man in white on the river, and the other is the incident of later swallowing the black and white dragon inner elixir.
Jiang Shuo spoke vividly, and the heroes were amazed while listening. Even Cheng Ang said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce fight between the two dragons in the river later. It's incredible that you didn't escape."
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "I have never seen Brother Cheng before, so I want to thank Brother Cheng in person that day..." He wanted to say thank you to Brother Cheng for putting such a precious Black Dragon Inner Alchemy into his mouth to save his life.
Cheng Ang interrupted him hurriedly and said: "Hey, I, old Cheng, didn't do anything. I just landed on the island a little early. When I saw that you were not dead, I handed you over to Master Ge for treatment. If you can survive, you will survive." If you are lucky, you have to thank Master Ge for his wonderful rejuvenation."
When Jiang Shuo saw Cheng Ang interrupting him and specifically emphasizing "he didn't do anything", he immediately realized that the black dragon inner elixir was extremely precious. A group of heroes would slay the dragon together. After obtaining the inner elixir, he couldn't say that he would return to Cheng Ang. He used this method Naturally, the precious inner elixir that extended his life was hidden from other people. If he told the truth, he would be afraid that he would cause trouble to Brother Cheng, so he stopped immediately and said: "Yes, Brother Cheng wants to thank you, the owner of the village." Thank you too." After saying that, he knelt down to kowtow to Lord Ge Ruliang.
Ge Ruliang said: "Yan Sheng is right. You killed the black dragon by chance and did great harm to the people. It is also my duty to save you. No need to say thank you." Waving his sleeves, Jiang Shuo felt a wave of energy grow out of thin air under his knees. After dragging him up with all his strength, he couldn't kneel down, so he had to cross his hands and salute.
The monk Shenhui put his hands together and said, "The ancestors once said, 'Those who have the Tao will succeed, and those who have no intention will succeed.' No one on the river who had the intention to slay the dragon could succeed. On the contrary, this child had no intention but got the Tao. The reason for this is unique." Victory is incredible..."
Li Yong said: "What the great monk said is that Yong set up this dragon-slaying situation to eliminate harm for the people, but he concealed selfishness and impure intentions, which is why we are in today's difficult situation."
Shen Hui said: "Amitabha, Li Jijun can reflect on his own self-examination, there is nothing better. The so-called 'Bodhi nature is originally pure, but with this mind, you can become a Buddha.' It's good, it's good..."
After listening to the two verses from Shenhui, Li Yong finally made up his mind and said: "In that case, Yong should keep his promise."
He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and held it in his hand, and turned to Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo was surprised. He expected that this was the so-called "treasure of the leader of the Jianghu Alliance", how dare he take it, and hurriedly took a step back.
Xiang'er shouted from the audience: "Xiao Jiangshuo, why are you giving back? Hurry up and take it away for me to play with."
The owner of the village scolded: "Nonsense..."
Xiang'er stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak any more.
