Lu Yuxuan's sharp eyes saw Jiang Shuo throwing Xu Lai back into the boat and then swimming towards the ship. He quickly shouted: "Lengthen the rope, quickly lengthen the rope!"
Everyone also understood what Jiang Shuo meant, and they all let go and lengthened the rope. Jiang Shuo was as straight as a fish swimming in the river. He cut through the waves faster than a fish. After a few ups and downs, he reached the bottom of the boat and jumped in the water like a dragon. After getting out of the water, he untied the rope from his waist in the air and threw it towards the mast of the ship. The rope hit the mast and went around several times. Xiao Dayou hurriedly grabbed the end of the rope and tied it with several knots. The boatman is the best at tying knots. It forms a tight knot and will not come apart no matter how big the bumps are.
At the same time, Jiang Shuo landed steadily on the deck of the ship. When Lu Yuxuan saw Jiang Shuo boarding the ship and retying the rope, he immediately shouted: "Get it! Get it! Get it quickly!"
At this time, the rope was full of good players like Lu Yuxuan and Hun Weiming. They shouted and pulled back together, and they actually pulled the big boat back to its original position.
But Jiang Shuo was on the boat. He wiped the water droplets on his face with his hand and said to Xiao Dayou: "Brother Xiao, let's try again!" He turned to Xu Lai and asked: "Brother Xu, can you still steer?"
Xu Lai had turned over and sat up. He had survived the catastrophe and saw Jiang Shuo's bravery. He couldn't help but be inspired. With a roar, he straightened the rudder again, pressed his whole body on the rudder, and shouted: "This time I won’t let go until I die!”
Xiao Dayou said: "It's not a problem if the bow of the boat is flooded, but if we lose the sand axe, how can we break the dam?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Xiao, just follow the rules, I have my own way."
Xiao Dayou was originally a brave man, so he didn't think much at the moment. He said hello and directed the oarsmen to steer the boat towards the dam. Jiang Shuo was seen standing proudly on the bow of the boat, waiting for the boat belt to hit the earth dam. At this moment, he jumped out suddenly, like an arrow from a string, and shot at the huge iron ax embedded in the dam. He kicked his legs violently and kicked the iron ax. The iron ax was made of solid material and had Dozens of heavy weights, under Jiang Shuo's kick, a bell sounded, and the lingering sound was as long as a dragon's roar. In this dragon's roar, the iron ax broke through the dam, and then the bow of the riverboat stopped violently. The ground hit the dam.
The dam was first split open by an iron ax, so although the bow was blunt, the weight of the hull destroyed the wooden gate inside the dam, opening a three-foot-wide hole in the dam. Shooting out, the big ship flew out from the dam, leaped forward dozens of feet, and then fell into the Bian River. The river water continued to gush out from the narrow mouth of the dam, and a clear and shallow channel was created in the dead and turbid Bian River. It is a waterway, and the boat on the river does not need oars on this clear stream, but it sails slowly southward on its own.
Boat workers and people on both sides of the river mouth cheered together: "The river sand has washed away! The river sand has washed away! Long live! Long live!"
Amid cheers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Duguxiang was crying: "Where's Brother Shuo! Where has Brother Shuo gone?"
But I saw that the river water was still pouring in at the breach of the dam, and the rapids burst out, driving the Bianshui water to flow, but there was no trace of Jiang Shuo...
However, it was said that Jiang Shuo pedaled with an iron ax and broke through the dam. Behind him, a river boat rushed up with the river water. No matter how high his internal strength was, he was still a man but not a god. He could not act against nature. He felt the river water coming in like a tide and he was busy holding his breath. Jue held his breath and allowed the rapids to rush him downstream.
Although Jiang Shuo held his breath to protect his heart, he could not stop the river water from pouring in from his mouth and nose. He was tossed and rolled by the rapids. Fortunately, the bottom of the river was filled with sand and sand, so he was not injured by the collision. He was only dizzy from the rush. His brain was swollen, and he drank some more water, and he passed out.
Jiang Shuo woke up leisurely again. He felt that his back was pressed against the sand and gravel. It was very rough, not like the bottom of a river. Suddenly, his chest and abdomen tightened. Jiang Shuo's inner energy generated its own force and he heard a "plop" sound. I don't know who bounced away, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of muddy water. He sat up suddenly and saw that the heavy rain had stopped. He was on a beach. There was a person sitting on the ground about a foot away. He must have been trying to push out the water he drank in his belly. But unexpectedly, he was bounced away by his internal force.
Jiang Shuo felt deeply apologetic, stood up and helped the man, saying, "I'm really sorry. Thank you so much for saving your life. I didn't mean to push you away."
The man didn't take it seriously at all, but said happily: "Praise Jingzun, little brother, you are fine." Jiang Shuo discovered that this man was not a Han, but a Persian Jing monk.
Jiang Shuo helped him up and saw that the monk Jing was wearing a white magic bubble. The style was the same as that of Pu Luo, except that he had no braided hair and a green cap on his chestnut curly hair. The monk Jing was not too old, although He has the appearance of a foreigner, with a curly beard and long beard, but his features are clear, his eyes are penetrating, and his expression is quite gentle.
Jiang Shuo clasped his fists and bowed, "Jiang Shuo, I just didn't presume to accidentally hurt the great virtue. I'm really sorry, I haven't asked the great virtue for my respect."
The Jing monk smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... I am a Nestorian monk who does not dare to be called a great virtue. Just call me Is."
Jiang Shuo was surprised when he heard this and asked anxiously: "Is...is he the Is of Cross Temple in Yiningfang, Chang'an?"
Yi Qi said: "The poor monk is from Chang'an. How did the little brother learn the name of the young monk?"
Jiang Shuo blurted out and recited: "The true silence is always there, there is no origin first; the spirit is empty, and then there is wonderful existence; it is created by the Xuanxu, and all the wonderful saints are the master of Yuan; it is only my three-one wonderful body , Tianyuan Allah Araha.”
Iss then praised: "The only one who has my wonderful body is my Trinity, God of Heaven, Aloha." He was overjoyed and said, "Praise Jingzun, he turns out to be a brother in the religion."
Jiang Shuo waved his hands hurriedly and said, "I am not a Jingtu, sir, don't get me wrong."
Yi Qi said: "Then how can you recite the hymns in my religion?"
Jiang Shuo said: "It was taught to me by your dharma king Puo Pu."
Yishuo said: "So that's it. King Pufa went south to preach in Yangzhou last month. Brother Jiang met him there, right?" Jing's disciples, old and young, all refer to each other as brothers and sisters, so Yishu calls Jiang Shuo Brother Jiang.
Jiang Shuo said: "No, it's by the Hongze Lake."
Yisi nodded and said, "I think he is on his way back north. Does Brother Jiang know where the Dharma King is now?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shuo felt sad and choked up: "The Dharma King has passed away."
Yis was shocked when he heard this and said: "His Holiness was in good health, how could he pass away suddenly?"
So Jiang Shuo conspired with An Qingxu and Nao Wen on the black ship. Puo refused to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and was injured by Abo and Yin Ziqi. How he rescued Puo and how Puo died of his injuries were all told to Yisi, including his own. Puo jumped off the boat and escaped, but Yin Ziqi slapped Puo in the heart. He told the truth. At the end of the story, Jiang Shuo cried, "It's all my fault for killing Dharma King Puo."
Yishuo said: "Brother Jiang, you don't need to blame yourself so much. It's true that King Puluo said that you saved him out of pure sincerity and it was a good deed. Not to mention Puo, even Jing Zun will not blame you. King Puluofa When you are the only one present when he is reborn in heaven, what last words and decrees can he pass down?"
Jiang Shuo then told Yishuo's last words and took out Puluo's cross beads and handed them to Yissi. Yishuo held the beads, rubbed the cross-shaped pendant with his hand, and slowly made a cross on his chest. , said: "If he hadn't met Brother Jiang, King Puluo would have died in an unknown way. I praise Jingzun for letting us know the truth through the hands of Brother Jiang."
Jiang Shuo said: "I buried the body of King Pufa under the tallest pine tree on a hill on the south bank of Hongze. There is an inscription on the top of the pine tree. As a mark, Isdad can return the body as soon as possible and move the coffin for burial. "
Yisdao: "Jing Tu dedicated his life to Jing Zun, a great virtuous person like King Pu, and entered the pure land of heaven after death. Does it matter where the bones are buried in the world? The most important thing now is to return to the main altar of Chang'an as soon as possible and pay tribute to all the people." I would like to teach all the elders to report the news of His Holiness’s death, and to take precautions against predators and thieves, so that Pu Luo’s death will not be in vain.”
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: No wonder this Yisi looks young, but he is thoughtful and clear-minded. No wonder King Profa wants to pass the throne to him.
He asked Yisi: "Dad Yisi, I would like to ask, I was washed here by the river, but I don't know where I am? King Puluo Dharma asked me to look for you in Chang'an Cross Temple. How could I meet you here in such a clever way?" your turn."
Yisdao said: "This place is Xingze, thirty miles away from the mouth of Heyin River. We, Jingzun disciples, are walking in the world on the orders of Jingzun, in order to save all the misery in the world, spread Jingzun's gospel widely, and hear about the floods in Henan. Afraid of the outbreak of an epidemic, Yisi brought his disciples from Guanzhong to Heyin to visit the poor and inquire about their sufferings. He provided food and clothing to the poor and soups and medicines to the sick, in order to do his best.
I was still at the mouth of the river yesterday, and I just arrived in Xingze today. I saw the river water coming upstream fiercely, dragging a group of people who were digging sand in the shallow water on the bank into the water. We went into the water to rescue everyone, and we will also rescue you, Brother Jiang. When I caught it, I was still thinking that you were dressed in fine clothes, unlike the common people in the river, but it turned out that you were washed down from the upper reaches. "
Jiang Shuo said: "Ah, what a sin... I am the cause of this surge in the river. I wonder what happened to the river workers? Are there any casualties?"
Yi Qi said: "Why did Brother Jiang say this? Isn't Mr. Wei Jianwei in charge of the task of concentrating water and flushing sand upstream?"
Jiang Shuo then told the story of how he used a boat to break the dam on the river and how he stepped on the ax to open the weir. Yi made the sign of the cross with his hand and praised: "Praise Jingzun, brother Jiang, have you done great merit? How can you say it is a sin? You can see that the water in the canal has started to flow after being flushed with water, so dredging later will save a lot of effort!"
Jiang Shuo walked up to the embankment and saw that there was indeed a shallow stream of water flowing rapidly in the center of the Bian Canal, constantly washing away the yellow and turbid water. He was still concerned about the people digging the sand and asked: "How are the river workers doing?"
Yis pointed his hand back and said: "No need to worry, we have all been rescued ashore..."
Jiang Shuo looked in the direction of his finger and saw several mat tents set up in the shade of the trees under the river embankment. Many soaked river workers were sitting around the tents warming themselves by the fire. There were also many white-clad men distributing soup cakes. Only then did he realize that Is was also soaked. It seemed that he was the one who had gone into the water and fished him out before.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the ringing of a bell on the street, and one person shouted: "Brother Shuo, it turns out that you here scare me to death!"
