Luoyang City to Shaolin Temple, one hundred and ten miles apart.

We walked out of the east gate of Luoyang City, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Me: Brothers, I may have to rush some night roads today, and go to Shaoshan Town below the Shaolin Temple at night to play sharp.

Wang Lung, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby: No problem.

We galloped for dozens of miles in one go, and when we came to the bottom of a mountain, we planned to let the horses rest, and by the way, let the horses eat some grass, and we would also eat some dry food.

We were talking and laughing and eating dry food, when suddenly, dozens of people rushed out of the mountain and rushed to our side, all of them covered in gray cloth and burly bodies, and surrounded several of us.

Me: Who are you who dare to provoke your uncle?

A man with a big knife said: I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave the road to buy money.

As soon as I heard this, it was a robbery by robbers, and I became angry.

Me: Your uncle, don't look at who is robbing, do you know who your uncle and I are?

Man: Even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu pass here, he has to obediently leave the silver.

Me: Uncle didn't leave any silver today.

Man: If you don't leave any money, you will be left with a few lives, brothers.

As soon as this man finished speaking, these robbers were going to do it, and I hurriedly said: Slow, your uncle I am now Zheng (one) reading) novel xstxt to introduce myself to you, I am Jiang Dazhi, the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes appointed by the emperor today.

I said these words arrogantly, and the man saw me so arrogant, and said: I don't know what Jiang Dazhi you are, Jiang Xiaozhi, I know Yinzi, brothers, on.

When I looked at these people, I didn't even know my name, they must be little minions on the rivers and lakes, these people swarmed with knives and guns, where did a few of us put them in our eyes, and came up to knock down one by one.

When these robbers saw that our martial arts were so strong, they were all dumbfounded, and they stood in place one by one, and they didn't dare to rush up again.

Wang Long: Are you their boss? Pointing at the man with the knife.

Man: It's your uncle.

Me: Your uncle, are you learning quickly?

I went straight to the wind, got to the man, snatched the big knife from his hand, and put it to his neck.

This man's frightened eyes bulged out, like a fish's eye. I tore off his gray cloth and saw his full beard, and it was very scary to look at him. When these robbers saw that their eldest brother had been taken down, they were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled.

Me: What's your name and where are you a robber?

Man: Uncle spare his life, the small one is called Wanshan, he is the master of this Yangshan Longmen Cave, gathered a hundred and ten people to rob the house here, I don't want to collide with the master today, it is a small one with eyes and no beads, uncle, you have a lot of adults, let go of the small one.

Me: Let you go, do you know what I'm doing as the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes? Specializing in exterminating the evil demons and crooked cults, robbers and bandits on the rivers and lakes, you people have met Uncle I, where do you still want to live.

Wan Shan: As long as you let go of your little life, you can do whatever you want.

When I heard Wanshan's words, I thought: These days, I have asked for help everywhere, and there has been no result at all, and it seems that it is about to be the Dragon Boat Festival.

Me: How many people have you harmed here?

Wan Shan: Today's first opening and robbery has never harmed the people.

Me: Your uncle, you dare to tell lies to deceive Lao Tzu, it seems that you are really impatient.

Wan Shan: The little ones don't dare to deceive the uncle, it's the first time we robbed, and they used to give us silver and flowers by themselves.

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: these people are collecting protection money here.

Me: Although you robbed a lot of silver, but you didn't harm anyone's life, the uncle will let you go, but you have to do one thing for the uncle.

Wan Shan: Uncle, please speak.

Me: Uncle Ben is going to hold the inaugural meeting of the Jianghu Column on Junshan Island on the fifth day of May this year.

Wan Shan: Is that about it?

Me: That's it.

When Wang Lung saw that I had asked these robbers to attend the inaugural meeting, he walked up to me and whispered in my ear: Brother Jiang, these people are all rabble, wouldn't it be a lowering of one's status to let them go?

I also whispered in Wang Lung's ear: It's all right, just tell them to go to work as coolies, lest they rob houses here and harm the local people.

When Wang Lung saw me say this, he didn't say anything.

Me: You go now.

Wan Shan: Uncle, we still have a lot of things in the cave, can you go and pack them up before leaving?

I saw that Wan Shan was quite sincere in what he said, and I thought: Maybe they really want to take some things with them, but if I let them go back, in case they don't go down the mountain, won't it be troublesome.

Me: That's okay, uncle, I see that the scenery of this Shouyang Mountain is good, so I'll go to your Longmen Cave to have a look.

When Wan Shan saw me and said that he wanted to go to the mountain to have a look, his face was embarrassed when he boarded. When I saw Wan Shan's expression, I was sure that Wan Shan would definitely not come down after going up the mountain, so I had to go to the mountain even more.

Me: Isn't the Lord of Ten Thousand Caves willing?

Wan Shan: No, it's too late for a small welcome.

Me: Okay, let's go.

I asked Stupid Niu to take Wan Shan in front, Wang Lung and Dog Baby and I walked behind, and the robbers and minions walked in the rear.

We walked on the way up the mountain, and when we reached the mountainside of Shouyang Mountain, we found two stone figures, both of whom were holding grass in their hands.

Me: Brother Long, who are these two stone men?

Wang Long: I forgot that there were two hermits in Shouyang Mountain: Bo Yi and Shu Qi, both of whom claimed to be Shang Chen, and they did not want King Wu to cut down the Emperor, knocked on the horse to discourage them, and then the King of Wu destroyed them, they were ashamed to eat Zhou Su, and they ate Wei and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain. Later generations recited their loyalty and righteousness, and made stone statues to commemorate them.

Me: These two people have a bit of backbone, Brother Long, let's go and worship.

Wan Shan: Why worship, I'd rather starve to death than eat other people's things, there must be something wrong with my brain.

Me: You just pursue this point, no wonder you are a robber, a stupid cow, a dog baby, take him well.

Stupid Cow and Dog Baby: Okay, big brother.

Wang Lung and I walked over to the stone statues of Bo Yi and Shu Qi and saluted them.

Me: This kind of backbone is really rare, and it deserves to be remembered for eternity.

Wang Lung: Yes, looking at the whole world, there are people who wag their tails and beg for mercy, how many people can have such backbone.

As soon as I heard Wang Lung's words, I was shocked, and thought: You were quite happy in the Tang Dynasty, and if you were really put to live in Shanghai, such a thing as backbone would be worthless.

When we were done worshipping, we walked back.

After walking a little further, you will arrive at Longmen Cave.

Me: Wan Shan is outside, the others go in and pack their things, hurry up.

Wan Shan: Uncle, it's going to be dark soon, why don't you rest here today, I asked the brothers to prepare wine and good food, and greet a few masters.

At this time, it is indeed dusk, but staying on the mountain will be variable, and it will be necessary to go down today.

Me: It's getting late, but it's not yet to the point where you can't see the road, pack up your things, and you must go down the mountain today, otherwise it will kill you.

When these minions heard that they were going to kill them, their legs trembled with fright, and they rushed into the Longmen Cave at once, and in less than ten minutes, these people packed up their things and walked out.

Me: Stand all up, don't move, Brother Long, you and the dog baby are watching outside, and Ben Niu and I will accompany Wan Shan to go in and get things.

Wang Long: Okay.

The stupid cow put Wanshan into the Longmen Cave, I went to the cave to see, although it was dirty, but it still looked good, and it should be very comfortable to live in.

Wan Shan took the things well, and I asked the stupid cow to take Wan Shan out first.

I went around the cave, picked up the torch in the cave, and directly lit all the flammable things in the cave, and in less than a while, the whole cave was on fire, and I started the wind and quickly walked out of the Longmen Cave.

The fire burned to the mouth of the cave in one fell swoop.

Wan Shan and the robbers saw that I had burned the Longmen Cave, and they all trembled with anger, especially Wan Shan, not to mention how ugly his expression was. However, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only stand in place obediently.

Me: Now you can go on the road with peace of mind, and when you destroy a bowl of porridge, I will give you 500 taels of silver each, so that you can go home, marry a daughter-in-law, and live in peace.

When these robbers saw me say this, their faces all burst into smiles.

Wan Shan: What you said is true?

Me: Absolutely.

Wan Shan: Okay, we believe you once.

Me: That's good, after you go down the mountain, you have to carry a banner with the word "Jiang" written on it, and when you see someone, you will shout to exterminate a bowl of porridge and marry a daughter-in-law when you go home. Can it be done?

Wan Shan: These are all trivial things, there is no problem, as long as you talk and count.

Me: Rest assured, I Jiang Dazhi has always been true to his word, and you can do things with confidence.

These robbers were very happy and shouted in unison: Long live Jiang Ye.

Me: Don't say long live Jiang Ye, say long live Jiang Ye will not give out silver, if you want to say that you will destroy a bowl of porridge and teach it, you will marry a daughter-in-law when you go home.

These robbers burst into laughter, and all of them shouted: Destroy a bowl of porridge and marry a daughter-in-law when you go home.

I'm very happy that the publicity has worked very well.

We went down the mountain, and I told Wanshan to go first.

We led the horses over.

Me: Brother Long, although these people are some rabble, but there are finally some people who have joined our Jianghu column, which can be regarded as an opening, and I hope we can open a good fortune and exterminate a bowl of porridge in one fell swoop.

Wang Long: Yes, it's finally opened, but I don't know if these minions will go to Dongting Lake?

Me: This five hundred taels of silver should not be a small amount, people die for money, birds die for food, they will definitely go for the sake of silver.

Wang Lung: I hope so.

Me: Let's hurry up today and try to get to Shaoshan Town as soon as possible.

Wang Long: Okay.

Fortunately, the moon rose in the sky today, and it was finally a little bright, and we hurried to Shaoshan Town at nine o'clock in the evening.

There were no pedestrians on the streets of Shaoshan Town, so we found an inn to live in.

I thought: today is the opening, and it should be smoother and smoother in the future. I lay on the bed and thought about these things slowly, and gradually fell asleep.
