32: The Four Gangs

There was silence. You look at me, and I look at you, but no one will do anything. Seeing that no one responded, the huge Taoist couldn't help but turn purple with a face, and said angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you standing still? Aren't you afraid of this little devil? Are we so many people coming here just to play here with big eyes and staring at small eyes? When the matter spreads to the rivers and lakes, do we still want to face it? Go together, what are you afraid of!"

Still untouched. But on the boat in the middle, someone "poof~" suddenly snickered. Screaming, he said: "The Jade Plate Dao Leader is really courageous. In the face of such a vicious demon, he still dares to shout and scold loudly, admiring and admiring. ”

Someone sneered and said, "Jade Plate Daoist, you just go up and fight this devil." We all have your moral back. Even if we are unfortunate enough to sacrifice our lives, we will definitely spread the reputation of the Taoist to the rivers and lakes, so that the Taoist can be admired for thousands of generations and will be remembered for generations. ”

What these two people said was clearly here to dismantle the stage. At the moment of the strong enemy, their own people are still dragging each other's feet and saying some strange things about Piri Yangqiu. It can be seen that these people are just a plate of loose sand, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all. For a while, Cheng Li couldn't help but be disdainful and funny.

The fat Daoist jumped like thunder, and shouted loudly: "Xie Laosan, Xie Laosi, have you two brothers already secretly colluded with this devil? Otherwise, how can you talk to that devil?"

The two brothers, Xie Laosan and Xie Laosi, did not stand up. It's just that they sneer at each other and keep sneering. Both of their mouths are sharp teeth, and the fat Dao Shiyu plate only has one mouth, but how can they beat their two brothers?

Between the words, the jade plate had already been so angry that it couldn't help screaming, and scolded angrily. If it weren't for the people around him, Yu Panzi would have jumped over the boat and fought to the death with the Xie brothers.

Seeing that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, it is becoming more and more unpleasant. The two young men on the boat on the right side couldn't help but smile bitterly. The young man in shabby clothes and carrying a green bamboo cane raised his hand and sighed, "Everyone, please be calm. Why don't you come down and say a few words to Master Cheng?"

This young man does not seem to be of low status. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Xie family brothers and the jade plate immediately did not dare to speak again. This chaotic farce has finally stopped.

The young man with a green bamboo cane took another step forward. Clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Master Cheng Zhuang is invited." In the beggar gang leader Dongfang Yun. ”

Cheng Li was slightly shocked and said, "Are you the leader of the beggar gang?"

Dongfang Yun's jaw said, "Not bad." Two months ago, the beggars helped Junshan Conference. At the meeting, the family teacher was ordered to take over as the helper. After being tested by the elders of the gang, they unanimously agreed on this matter. And he gave this dog-beating stick to the next. ”

Of course Cheng Li knows. This green bamboo cane looks like bamboo, but in fact, its texture is neither gold nor jade, neither wood nor stone, it is extremely tough, and it is difficult to damage the slightest bit of swords, guns, water and fire, it is a rare treasure. Among the beggars, it is called the "dog beating stick", which is regarded as a token of the inheritance of the gang leader and has been passed down from generation to generation. It belongs to the same nature as the emperor's jade seal.

Therefore, since he has this dog-beating stick in his hand, it is obvious that Dongfang Yun's identity as the leader of the beggar gang will not be faked.

Cheng Li nodded, and also clenched his fists and said, "I see." Hello Eastern Gang Leader. ”

Dongfang Yun said with an amiable smile: "Master Cheng, in fact, all the people here tonight are all colleagues in the rivers and lakes who have been famous for many years. It's a rare encounter, so why don't you come down and introduce you to it?"

Cheng Lijaw said: "It's okay." Oriental Gang Leader please. ”

Dongfang Yun's spirits were lifted. First of all, he introduced Cheng Li to the young monk in the moon-white monk next to him. said: "This is Senior Brother Hua." It is the lower courtyard of Longhua Temple. The new abbot of the Ten Residences Zen Temple. ”

The so-called lower courtyard in Buddhism is that the monks in a temple leave this temple, and then choose another place to build a new temple, but still worship the previous temple as their main sect. Then the main sect is the upper courtyard, and the new temple is the lower courtyard.

Longhua Temple is the source of Buddhism, and there are many lower courtyards that are divided. But no matter what the lower house is, its status in the Buddhist sect will never be low. This flower monk is young, and he can actually become the abbot of the Shizhu Zen Temple, which must be very extraordinary.

At that moment, Cheng Li also saluted Monk Hua with a fist. Dao Sheng: "Master Hua is polite." ”

Monk Lihua smiled and returned the salute, saying, "Lord Cheng is polite." I heard that Cheng Shizhu once rescued the White Lady who was suppressed under the Leifeng Tower. In this way, it can be regarded as having a great deal of fate with our Buddhism. If the donor has leisure in the future, the poor monk also wants to discuss the Dharma with the donor. I believe it must be a big event. ”

Cheng Li smiled and said, "There is a chance." ”

Dongfang Yun waited for them to finish the salute. and introduced the people on the boat in the middle to Cheng Li. said: "Master Cheng Zhuang, this is Kong Qiuqing, the leader of the Cao Gang. This is the head of the Salt Gang. This is the leader of the Copper Coin Gang, Xie Shi Kunzhong. As in the next, they are all members of the Ten Gangs. ”

Kong Qiuqing, the leader of the Cao Gang, was dressed in Confucian clothes and a Confucian crown, dressed as a scribe. But his attitude is high-spirited, and there is no weakness at all.

The head of the Salt Gang, Hai Gaitian, is a tower-like man, this person looks mighty, with a double axe on his back, and his eyes are like copper bells, which makes him full of momentum.

The Xie Kunzhong of the Copper Coin Gang is the "Xie Laosan" and "Xie Laosi" who sneered at the fat Daoren's jade plate before. The two are obviously twin brothers and look exactly the same. They are all thin and have a horse face. Both of them had a large copper coin embroidered on their chests. One person's copper coin has the word "Hongtai" on it. On the other person's copper coin is "Tongbao".

Hongtai is the era name used today. Hongtai Tongbao is a copper coin minted by the imperial court. These two people behaved like this, and they really deserved to be the leaders of the Copper Money Gang.

On the rivers and lakes, there have always been two holy places, three sects, seven sword sects, eight families, and ten gangs as the pillars of the righteous path. The ten major gangs are the Beggar Gang, the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Pai Sect. Copper Coin Gang, Yellow River Gang, Twelve Consecutive Docks, Huanzhu Building, Xiyong Pavilion.

Among them, Huanzhu Tower is the predecessor of Canghai Yueming Building. Xiyong Pavilion has long been reorganized into Badoutang. These two no longer exist, and have been replaced by Huang Xiaoshi's Biandan Gang.

As for the Pai Sect, in fact, it has long been controlled by the Divine Descendants, who have seized the land of Xiangxi and are secretly plotting conspiracies. encountered Cheng Li again, and finally completely destroyed.

The Yellow River Gang and the Twelve Docks had been annexed by Zhu Shunshui's "Black Water Road" many years ago and became their helmsmen.

Zhu Shunshui died tragically in the "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land", and the Black Waterway was also torn apart. Now it has split into a number of small gangs, each of which is fighting endlessly on the two major waterways of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and has not yet been able to distinguish the winner or loser.

Therefore, the top ten gangs of the year, in fact, only the five remaining are now the Beggar Gang, the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, the Five Poison Sect, and the Copper Money Gang. However, the Five Poisons Sect has always been nested in Miaojiang and has never set foot in the Central Plains. So seriously, there are only four. But I didn't expect that the four beggar gangs, the Cao gang, the salt gang, and the copper money gang, would come at the same time today.
