When the man heard what Jiang Shuo said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he saw the movement of his hands crossing his hands and said, "It turns out that it's Bing Jianzi, a certain sea dragon king who worshiped in the Crystal Palace. I put three sticks of incense. Ya'er handed me the door." ?」
Dugu Xiang looked at Jiang Shuo with wide eyes and said, "Brother Shuo, what kind of curse are you and him reciting?"
Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "This eldest brother is a subordinate of Brother Xiao from the Caobang East Clan." He turned to the man and said, "Thousands of people have returned to the clan and worshiped heaven and earth but not the Dragon King. A fragrance spreads to all directions." At the same time, he clasped his left thumb with his right hand. , clasped together into fists, shaped like a vortex, he turned over to face the person who was shaped like a vortex.
The man was shocked when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and looked Jiang Shuo up and down. He sneered and said, "Where did Xiao Hezi steal from the bottom of the sea and dare to open a fake temple and pretend to be big?"
Jiang Shuo laughed and said, "I have stepped over the black dragon of Yunmeng and stepped on the iron threshold of Heyin. How can you say that I am a fake temple guest?"
It turned out that Jiang Shuo could tell from the shape of the man's clasped fists that he was from the Cao Gang. That day in Feihuxing, the three leaders of the Cao Gang had detailed to Jiang Shuo the various incisions in the Cao Gang and how to recruit the gang. Jiang Shuo had never used it before, so today he tried to answer the man using the incision taught by Lu Yuxuan. This so-called "examination" means questioning each other about the details.
When Jiang Shuo said that the four dragons drew water, he meant the four gangs of the Cao Gang, the Southeast, the North and the West. Asking him which temple he worshiped meant asking which gang he belonged to. The East Gang was the East China Sea Crystal Palace, and the North Gang was the Kunpeng Palace in the north. Instead, the Western Band replaced it with Hanhai Liusha Palace, and the Southern Band replaced it with Nanyang Guixu Palace.
The man claimed to be a worshiper of the Dragon King in the Crystal Palace. He was a member of the Donghai Crystal Palace, that is, the Dong Gang. From low to high in the gang, they were represented by the number of incense sticks they put on their head. There were nine incense sticks on the head, seven incense sticks on the head, seven incense sticks on the head, and five incense masters. Yes, this person who sticks three sticks of incense is just a small leader.
When he said "Bingjianzi" he meant to help brothers, he called Jiangshuo "Ya'er", which meant "child", and "passing the threshold" meant asking him to declare himself a sect, which was quite contemptuous. .
Jiang Shuo's answer was that he did not worship the Dragon King, which meant that he was the supreme leader of the Cao Gang. The leader of the Cao Gang did not place incense, but only offered fragrance to all directions.
Of course that person didn't believe it. "Secretly learning from the bottom of the sea", "opening a fake temple" and "acting like a big guy" meant that Jiang Shuo had heard of the gang's incompetence from somewhere and dared to say nonsense that he was the supreme leader of the gang.
The last thing Jiang Shuo said was a code word tailor-made for him by the three leaders. It talked about the two things he was most proud of before, one was the dragon slaying in the Han River, and the other was "crossing the Yunmeng Black Dragon"; This is the feat of Heyin stepping on the yue to open the dam, collect water and wash away the sand. It is "stepping across the iron threshold of Heyin".
The man was still doubtful after hearing this, crossed his hands and said: "If it is a real dragon, please set up a stake."
Jiang Shuo knew that he wanted to show off his skills, so he smiled and said, "Brother, please make a clear path."
The man pointed to a flagpole lying on the ground beside the pier and said: "Since my little brother said that stepping over the iron threshold, he must have amazing strength, please try it on this flagpole."
Jiang Shuo saw that the flagpole was made of a whole round log, about two feet long, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. The bottom part was as thick as a human waist, and the top part was as thin as the mouth of a bowl. There is a round hole in the wooden board on the ground, and inside is a cast iron circle. The original flagpole is rotten and has been pulled out. The new flagpole is on the side and has not yet been erected.
The man's original intention was to let Jiang Shuo lift the flagpole. It took ten civilians to transport the flagpole. Jiang Shuo replied wrongly, thinking that he was telling himself to erect the flagpole. Normally, to erect the flagpole, you need to fix the tail end first, and then pull it with a rope before it can be erected. When erecting it, it is necessary to prevent it. The flagpole swings left and right and falls over. It needs to be pulled from three different directions, which consumes a lot of people's energy.
Jiang Shuo stepped forward and lifted the thin end of the wooden flagpole. The flagpole was a few inches away from the ground. Then he walked to the other end and lifted the thick end of the flagpole, which was also slightly off the ground. He already knew what was going on. , said: "Okay, I'll give it a try!" He said to the people around him: "Everyone, please give way and be careful of bumping into you."
The civilians couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, thinking that this flagpole is so heavy. Even if you can lift it, can you still drag it a few steps? Is it because we are afraid that the wood will roll and hit our feet? But he still pretended to take a few steps back.
Jiang Shuo shook his head and said, "Everyone, please give way a little more to avoid accidental injury."
Those civilians took a few steps back, Jiang Shuo looked at them and compared them with each other.
After a moment, he said: "It's not enough. Please step back a little more. Please stay three feet away."
The civilian husbands were all in disbelief, and they all turned to look at the man who had confronted Jiang Shuo with questioning eyes. The man nodded and curled his lips back, and the civilian husbands stepped back with a snort, surrounding Jiang Shuo and Jiang Shuo. The flagpole pulled out a large circle with a diameter of three feet.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, I'm coming." As he spoke, he used his right palm to hit the flagpole on the ground. The flagpole actually bounced up half a foot due to the force. Jiang Shuo waited for an opportunity. waist, holding the thickest end of the flagpole with both hands, while the thin end is still leaning on the ground
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuo held the bottom of the log with his left hand and held it horizontally with his right hand. With a strong movement of both arms, he actually swung the flagpole up. Jiang Shuo stood up, swung the flagpole up, and spun around in a circle. With such force, the thin end of the flagpole was lifted off the ground. No one could have imagined that this young man could swing such a thick flagpole. Although the flagpole was only two feet long and the distance between the people was more than three feet, the flagpole still rotated. The strong wind it brought blew against them, and everyone couldn't help but retreated more than ten feet away.
These civilians had all carried the flagpole yesterday. Naturally they knew how heavy the flagpole was and were afraid of being swept away. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Jiang Shuo became more careless and swung the flagpole in a circle again. This time, the thin end had raised its head to the same height as his shoulders. Jiang Shuo got excited about dancing, roared loudly, and continued to wave. flagpole.
At this moment, the flagpole rotated faster, and his hands felt lighter. He pressed down with his left hand and raised his right hand to continuously raise the flagpole. After more than ten turns, the log flagpole was completely erected. Jiang Shuo He put the flagpole on his shoulder, took two quick steps, and came to the hole of the iron ring. He aimed at the hole and sent it downwards. The flagpole was firmly inserted into the circle without any discomfort.
Jiang Shuo was afraid that the flagpole was not inserted firmly, so he hugged the flagpole with both hands and pushed it down a few times. Then he let go slightly and saw that the flagpole was upright and had not fallen over. He pushed it a few more times with his hands and saw that the flagpole was not moving at all. Jiang Shuo Shuo couldn't help but praise: "The carpenters from Bohai Country are so good. The logs can be cut just like the entrance of a hole, and they fit perfectly when inserted!"
At this moment, the people watching onlookers don't care about the quality of the carpentry or whether the work is perfect. They were so surprised when they saw Jiang Shuo erecting this wooden flagpole by himself. They couldn't believe their eyes. They were so shocked that they opened their mouths at first and looked at each other. They finally confirmed that these were not hallucinations but real things. As it happened, a burst of thunderous colors burst out.
The man had no more doubts. He ran a few steps, threw himself in front of Jiang Shuo and bowed to him, saying: "The young man has no eyesight and does not know the truth. It is a capital crime. It is a capital crime!" After saying that, he was about to kowtow and stood behind him. , the civilian husbands also knelt down one after another.
Jiang Shuo hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Xu, I don't dare to accept such a great gift. Everyone behind you doesn't need to kneel down. Please get up quickly."
The man said: "I dare not deceive you, young master. My surname is not Xu. Just because I am the leader of the fifth team under Hall Master Xu, I am called Xu Wu, and my nickname is Peng Gufan."
Jiang Shuo asked: "Is Brother Peng the Gufan whose name is "Relegated to Yanhe, Gufanmiao is not connected." "
Wen Yifan was a rough man, and his name was randomly chosen by a local gentleman, but how could he know about Song Zhiwen's poems? He just said: "It is the loneliness of loneliness, the sail of the ship's sail."
He called the people behind him to meet Jiang Shuo and said, "Young Master, these are all my men. They are all sailors on the ship and they are civilian men on land." He then asked, "Young Master, why are you here? The far north?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Peng, this is a long story. Let's say goodbye to the city lord and hit the road. You can speak slowly at sea, don't miss your trip."
Peng Gufan repeatedly said yes, but said to the city leader: "Hey! I didn't expect Yang Gu to be a friend of my gang leader today. I can't do this business. Please forgive me."
Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "Brother Peng, what kind of deal did you make with this city lord? Why do you call all the great sages Yanggu?" He knew that "Yanggu" means the object of robbery.
Peng Gufan said: "I dare not lie to you, young master. This Winged Dingluo is not a good person. We were just transporting sand for him on this trip. We were supposed to delay our return for a few days, but he came to see me yesterday and said, I bought a batch of sheep meat, and the chief store owner is very prosperous, so he wants me to do a business of moving rocks."
Jiang Shuo was shocked. The sand transported was smuggled goods, and it was not a big evil thing. He said that the doctors were
"Yanggu" and "Chu Touziwang" mean that they have a lot of money and silk on them, and they have the intention of plundering them. Finally, they say "the business of moving rocks", which means that they are nakedly preparing to drag everyone to the sea and kill them. Then his body was thrown into the sea!
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but glare at the city lord. The city lord had just seen Jiang Shuo display his magical power. Everyone in the Cao Gang bowed down and bowed down. Peng Gufan even called him "Young Master". Knowing that today's defeat was a failure, he collapsed with fear. On the ground.
At this time, the Qin Yue people and Wei Jingzhao also came up to ask what happened. Jiang Shuo briefly told the two of them what Peng Gufan said. My subordinates, we will all be buried in the belly of a fish in a day and a half."
Jiang Shuo also introduced Qin Yueren, Wei Jingzhao and others to Peng Gufan.
Only then did Peng Gufan realize that everyone was actually a famous doctor and sage of the Tang Dynasty. He apologized quickly and said, "Forgive me, great sage, but I don't know who you are. You were deceived by this city lord and almost killed a good person by mistake!" He then asked Jiang Shuo: "Young Master, this city lord is really hateful. Why don't you take this big rock like Gouguan to the sea?"
This man was so bold that he actually wanted to kill the imperial official of Bohai Kingdom and sink him into the sea.
