The ancient Yellow River was diverted three times, and it was not until the Jin Dynasty that the Yellow River moved south and seized the Huai into the sea, and the coastline of Tianjin was fixed. As early as the Tang Dynasty, salt farms have been opened here, and salt warehouses have been set up at the same time. After hundreds of years of development, the Yuan Dynasty changed the Zhigu village to Haijin Town, which became the transshipment center of grain transportation, and set up the Dazhigu Salt Transportation Department to manage the production and marketing of salt.

The salt gang naturally also set up a hall here, the hall master Meng Shen is the younger brother of the salt gang real helmsman Meng Rong, forty-nine years old this year, grew up here, and has great kung fu with hands and feet, and another cousin is an official in the capital, coercing one side. Due to the special location here, it has always been valued by Li Sihai, the leader of the Salt Gang, although Meng Shen is only a hall master, his status is no worse than that of the helmsman.

In the evening, Meng Ye set up a banquet to entertain more than a dozen friends from Qingzhou, and Murong Hua, the head of the Qingzhou faction, took his disciple Cui Renping to the capital to participate in the martial arts conference. Meng Ye drank a few more glasses of wine, slightly drunk, and was in the compound, lying on a rocking chair to cool off.

At this time, a henchman walked in and whispered a few words in his ear, Meng Ye sat up and said, "Invite him in!" "It didn't take much effort, and the strong man with a pinch of beard on his lips walked in, and it was the leader of the Japanese who was at the Nine Rivers Inn not long ago.

A pinch of his beard bowed: "I've seen Meng Ye." Meng Shen asked in surprise, "First mate Yamamoto, why are you here?" "Collaborating with pirates is a capital crime, but the salt gang is a capital crime to sell smugglers, Meng Shen dares to collude with the pirates, he has his own reasons: using pirates to attract the attention of the government, the salt gang has less restrictions in order to seek greater benefits; The pirates obtained confidential information through the Salt Gang, ensuring the safety of their operations.

The two sides hit it off, but the back and forth were all in secret, and the mountain had to be informed in advance here, why did it come suddenly this time? Yamamoto replied: "Master Meng, it's hard to say, we thought that Beijing City was going to hold a martial arts conference, and the government was all busy over there, but I didn't expect to meet a monk as soon as we went ashore today, and we started to move, but we lost inexplicably." ”

Meng Shen was surprised: "How many people are here?" A monk and a monk actually won you? "We have a total of eight people, six people besieged, and we already had the upper hand, but I don't know what's going on, that monk seems to have cast a demon spell, and my people's moves are chaotic, and there is no law at all." Yamamoto paused for a moment, then continued, "We have studied the Central Plains martial arts for so long, but we didn't expect to be able to defeat them. ”

Meng Shen nodded and groaned. Yamamoto said: "So, I want to ask Master Meng to help us inquire about what the monk is from, what kind of martial arts he is doing, and improve our sword formation, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future." ”

Meng Shen snorted secretly, what is difficult to gain a foothold, it is nothing more than to prepare for the challenge of the Central Plains Martial Arts in the future, and said at the moment: "Which inn do those two live in, I will let my men go down tomorrow to find their way, but it will be difficult for them to be passers-by." ”

On the second day, after everyone had breakfast, they saw Liu Hanyan pulling Zhou Qingzhu and constantly glancing at Wang Hou. Wang Houzi would not be as sneaky as the two of them, and quietly told Liu Zhaohui and Zhang Qingling where they went, they just shook their heads, and there was nothing they could do.

When the three of them arrived at the ancient temple by the sea, they saw a group of people gathered around a tall and thin man, and the tall and thin man said loudly: "Everyone, this ancient temple is dedicated to the sea god Niangniang, the sea god Niangniang's surname is Lin, born five hundred years ago, and ascended to heaven in the twenty-eighth year of the world. Because the sea goddess Niangniang was born for a long time and couldn't cry, her family named her 'Lin Mo'.

"Don't underestimate this Lin Mo, she was born on an island, she is proficient in water, and she can cross the sea on a mat and swim between islands in the sea, and everyone calls her a goddess. It is said that during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the fleet of the envoys to Goryeo encountered wind and waves at sea, the waves were more than ten zhang high, covering the sky and the sun, and after a while, six of the seven ships sank, leaving only the envoy's one that had not sunk.

"Later, the envoy played this matter, and the sea god Niangniang was named 'Mrs. Linghui', and in the past three hundred years, she was successively named 'Linghui Concubine' and 'Tianfei', but the people still like to call her 'Niangniang'. A hundred years ago, the Yuan Dynasty scavenged a large amount of grain from the south and transported it north through inland rivers and sea routes, when the fleet carried grain and rice from the Liujia River in Taicang, entered the Haihe River through the Yangtze River, and then transferred it to Beijing here.

"In order to pray for peace, the government built this temple here, and there is a poem that vividly describes the grand occasion of the sacrifice here in those years, 'Xiao said that there are three mouths, and even the bridge gathers ten thousand ships. It rains and dew all over the world, and the sea is still choppy. Entering the temple is spiritually severe, and the incense is high. So that the giant three was finished, and the palace robe was full of joy. 'When you go to worship, don't forget to burn three pillars of incense, I have good incense here, and the price is cheap......"

The people gathered asked for incense and walked towards the temple. When everyone dispersed, Wang Hou stepped forward and knocked the thin and tall man with a fan: "General Xinghui, didn't you lead the troops to find the widows?" Why did you really find the Japanese Kou? ”

The tall and thin man was the thin man who played Haiyu in the inn last night, and he seemed to have some impression of Wang Hou, so he smiled and said, "This son is laughing, just to fill his stomach...... However, my incense is really childlike, please my incense, the year is smooth, please invite my incense, the longer the more beautiful it is......"

Liu Hanyan was disgusted with him, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, get me three pillars." The three of them paid the silver respectively, holding the incense along the green brick paved road into the mountain gate, only to see that the inside into the deep ten rooms, the face is thirty rooms wide, on the west side of the mountain gate is the west side of the hall, the south is an octagonal stele pavilion, and then there is a big hall in front of it, many people in the courtyard are burning incense and kowtowing reverently.

The three of them also burned incense respectfully, Liu Hanyan grew up by the sea, and worshiped the sea goddess Niangniang, but he didn't know the allusions.

After the worship, the three of them looked at the stele pavilion for a while, and Wang Hou read it carefully, imagining the scene of ten thousand ships and rain and dew all over the world, which was also refreshing.

At this time, they suddenly heard the noise outside the door, as if something had happened, the three of them followed the crowd out of the mountain gate, and looked high, but six horses were in a circle, surrounding the two women in green in the middle, the woman's face was blocked by the horses, and she couldn't see clearly, but she looked at the clothes and the Korean woman last night was somewhat similar.

Six people on the horse, one-style colored silk kaftan. One of them opened his mouth and shouted: "Grass your uncle, still ignore my Meng Ye, shame on your face, and don't kneel down to apologize?" Someone on the side whispered: "Yo, Meng Ye of the Salt Gang, these two women are in big trouble when they provoke him." ”

Wang Hou asked with a sideways face: "This eldest brother, which one is the Meng Ye of the Salt Gang?" The people around him glanced at him and said in a low voice: "It's the one who rides a yellow Mongolian horse, and he has to come here once a month to worship, and these two girls are going to be unlucky today......" Wang Hou followed his gaze and saw that there was a yellow horse behind the six horses, and immediately the man had his eyes closed, his head twisted sideways, and he looked self-satisfied.

A woman's voice in the audience shouted: "Are you still unreasonable? You ask for incense, and we ask for incense, what's in your way? Wang Hou frowned, this voice was very familiar...... Kim Min-hui of North Korea last night!

"Hehe, little beauty, where did you run out, you didn't even know our Meng Ye, and you rushed to the front to ask for incense, that's it, our Meng Ye is not a stingy person, but Meng Ye asked you, you didn't even raise your head, isn't this obviously not giving Meng Ye face?"

The woman said angrily, "I don't know you, why should I answer you?" Another said: "Little beauty, don't be here if you make a mistake, it's not good for you, go back with us obediently, admit your mistake to Meng Ye, and let you go." ”

Liu Hanyan became more and more angry the more he listened, two months ago in Huai'an, he met the two masters of the salt gang Huai'an, "vegetable buns" and "bamboo poles", which were also quite unreasonable, and later came to Haizhou, and also met their Haizhou Hall master Song in the Peach Blossom Laughing Restaurant to make trouble, these people of the salt gang in front of them are really shameless, blatantly bullying weak women. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout: "What salt gang? A bunch of pigs and dogs are not as good as something! ”

The people on the horse couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the scolding, and looked at the sound, a woman in red of eighteen or nineteen years old pushed everyone away and walked down the steps, and was about to get angry, seeing that she was just a person, Ho Ho smiled and said: "Here is a little beauty again, what, you are in a group?" ”

Zhou Qingzhu was so frightened that she didn't know what to do for a while, but Wang Hou took her hand, pushed away the crowd and walked down the steps, standing behind Liu Hanyan, and saw that the two women in the field were really Li Zhixian and Jin Minhui. The two of them also recognized Wang Hou and the others, Jin Minhui nodded at Wang Hou, and Li Zhixian was afraid of affecting them, so he didn't move.

Liu Hanyan said: "What's wrong with the gang?" Why do you bully people? "Hahaha...... "Immediately everyone seemed to hear something very funny, and one of them held his stomach and laughed, "It turned out to be a silly girl...... Sixth, you go and teach her, what will be the consequences of insulting the Salt Gang! ”

One of them jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's not good to teach her here, it's better to take them all back, let me teach her well, and keep her from scolding us again." ”

Liu Hanyan's eyes widened angrily, and he stabbed out with a shuttle mark "Shocking Fish Silver Shuttle Throw", and came to the sixth child with a cold light, and was dodged by him. The sixth didn't draw his sword, he jumped up, and his right hand became a claw and attacked Liu Hanyan's chest, and immediately everyone saw that he was this kind of move, and they burst into laughter, and some even whistled.
