The young master couldn't help the persuasion of others, and he also had some intention of moving. Seeing that the row was flowing downstairs, the two kept urging. I saw the young master smile and said, "It's okay! Look, I'll hang the platoon under this building, so that it can't move! But you also have to listen to me! I can use my skills, otherwise you don't think about it."

The two of them asked in unison: "What are the words?" The young master just commands, the two of us, there is no reason not to listen!" The young master said: "If someone comes here to intercede with us in a while, you must not show that I am making a fool of me, just eat the wine and food on the table!" The two agreed.

After the young master nodded slightly, he picked up a bamboo chopstick from the chopstick holder and inserted it into the rice bucket. Here, the bamboo chopsticks were inserted into the rice bucket, and the big wooden raft that was popular in the lake immediately stopped, only circling in the lake, and did not flow down an inch of the water!

The platoon stopped for a while, and from the reed shed, a young man in his twenties came out, with four sturdy sailors, and moved the rope at the head of the platoon, shouting and twisting, the more he twisted quickly, the faster he circled, as if he had been nailed by something, where could he put it?

When the latter saw that he could not twist the rope, he immediately raised his hand to teach the four sailors to stop twisting, took out the incense candle and lit it, burned some yellow paper, and the latter stood at the head of the row, and made a gesture to the river, as if he was reciting something there. Just like that, the gods chattered, danced for a while, and taught the four of them to twist the rope, but after hanging for a long time, this wooden row was still hovering in place, and the faster it was twisted, the more urgent it was twisted!

The latter picked up the two candles at the head of the row, picked one in one hand, turned back and signaled to the four sailors, and jumped into the lake, and the four sailors also jumped down.

After a while, the latter jumped up first, and the candles in both hands were still burning. The four sailors came up next, all with sad faces. The five of them walked into the reed shed together, and then walked out of a white-bearded old man, also holding two candles in both hands, calmly walked into the water, the candlelight entered the water, illuminating the river red, and the fish and shrimp under the wooden raft were clearly visible.

The old man went down from the west, came up from the east, put two candles at the head of the row, made three waves, raised his head, and looked in all directions. He looked upstairs and stared at it for a while. Bent down and picked up a large wooden nut vertebrae, raised it with both hands and aimed it at the column of the head of the platoon, and hit it down.

The young master in the restaurant laughed and said, "What a bold man!" But a person who rushes the row for others, and has a little bit of a trick, actually dares to start beating me! Okay, good, I want to see your skills today!" After speaking, he took off his hat from his head and put it on the side chair.

As soon as the hammer was struck, the hat jumped and the mallet was hammered more than ten times in a row, and the mallet made the young master angry. Pull off a few strands of hair and wrap them around the bamboo chopsticks in the rice bucket.

Looking at the old man again, he also looked panicked, kneeling down and kowtowing to the restaurant. The two of them said to the young master: "That old man is not young, but his skills are only so great! We look at his appearance of kowtowing and begging for mercy, and we feel a little pitiful! The young master let him go!"

The young master replied: "I didn't want to do much at the beginning, you two have been persuading me! I have pleaded for him at this moment! Do you know that this is not a joke?

It's a lack of ability, and I'm worried about my life today!" The two of them listened and didn't dare to say more.

In a blink of an eye, I suddenly saw the old man walk up to the restaurant, knelt down to the two monks, and begged: "The villain doesn't know what is going on, he has offended the master! I beg the master to raise his noble hand and let the villain pass! The villain is grateful!" The old monk stood up, put his palms together on his chest, recited Amitabha, and said: "Why is the old benefactor so polite? Please get up quickly, sit and speak slowly if you have something to say! Poor monks and monks like to be convenient with people the most!"

The old man got up and said: "The villain knows at a glance that the master is a holy monk who has attained enlightenment! The villain's platoon must have been hanged by the master jokingly and cannot walk! The villain has no choice but to ask the master to show mercy and let the villain pass!"

The old monk smiled and said, "Where did this come from? The poor monk and apprentice traveled here, and it was less than a day, and they wanted to go to Shanglin Temple Tower, but they didn't go. Because I want to see the ancient ruins of Huaiyang, I am a little hungry in my stomach, so I came here to drink a few glasses of wine, how can I see you coming from?"

The old man had a hesitant look on his face, and his eyes searched like a mountain dog, and he glanced at each seat, as if looking for something. Seeing Jiang Wenlun and Xu Yao, who were looking at this side, they knelt down towards Xu Yao with a puff, "This young man is upright, Gu Yu is proud, at a glance, you know that it is a cultivator, the villain has been ordered to help the middle, and the life of the whole family is above this row, please forgive this young man."

Xu Yao waved his hand again and again when he heard this, threw his chopsticks lightly, and inserted them on the railing, "I am practicing swords, I will recognize it if I did it, if I didn't do it, it's useless for you to look for me", the old man looked at the chopsticks on the railing, climbed up as if he had an understanding, and looked at the three people before him in a blink of an eye.

I saw that a bamboo chopstick was inserted in the rice bucket of the table of the three people, and a strand of hair was wrapped around it, so I hurriedly walked over there and knelt down towards the three of them. Said: "The villain has no eyes and no beads, and he doesn't know the true face of Lushan! Don't ask the adults to be kind and let the villain pass! As long as this platoon is late to Hanyang for one day, the villain will have to be punished greatly!"

Because the two of them were instructed by the young master, they didn't say a word, they both turned their faces to look at the river, and the young master only buried his head in drinking, ignoring the old man who was kneeling on the ground.

The old man kowtowed several times in a row, and Jiang Wenlun watched from the sidelines, and he couldn't bear it in his heart! Just as he was about to reprimand, he saw Xu Yao signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient, and Jiang Wenlun had to swallow his anger and sit here.

Jiang Wenlun was unhappy here, but the young master had already opened his mouth and said to the old man: "Your platoon can't be late to Hanyang, but why didn't you come here earlier to beg for mercy?

The old man just kowtowed like pounding garlic and said damn it. The young master hesitated for a while, and then he reached out and pulled out the bamboo chopsticks from the rice bucket. Here, the bamboo chopsticks are pulled, and the wooden raft that stops in the lake and swirls is immediately downstream, like a galloping horse, and disappears in an instant.

Seeing this, the old man got up, stretched out his left hand, patted the young master on the back, and said, "Good skills, good Taoism! Admire, admire!" After finishing speaking, he walked away without looking back.

When the young master saw that the old man was gone, he talked and laughed with the two of them and ate wine and food, but before this quarter of an hour had passed, he fell on the table and cried bitterly

The two hurriedly stood up and asked what had happened. The young master beat his feet and cried and said:

"It's your mistake! I didn't want to do much in the first place! Now I have the old man's seven-star needle on my back, and after seven days, my life will be gone as soon as the time comes, except for those barbarians in the south, there is no antidote at all! I have an old mother and a young son, and now my life is about to die in Huangquan, how can I not cry?"

When the two of them heard the young master's words, they also became anxious, sighing, and they didn't know what to do! The young master cried for a while, wiped away his tears, paid off the bill with the money, and took the two out of the restaurant with a sad eyelid, not knowing where they were going.

Jiang Wenlun saw this, his face was inexplicable, he pulled Xu Yao and asked, "What's going on?" Why didn't I understand it?", Xu Yao said with a smile when he heard this, "You are about to break through the innate realm, these things should have been told to you by the master, but now that the master is not here, naturally only I will do it for you, but this cultivation matter, you can talk about it later, the sooner you understand the lesson in front of you, the better."

"You are good at everything, you are nosy, you can think about what you see this time! There are many troubles, if you have the ability, it is the family affairs of the king of heaven, you can also take care of it, if you don't have the ability, it is better to restrain some."

"As the saying goes, right and wrong are just to open your mouth, and your troubles are all because you are strong! Just now, this young master, if it wasn't for his recklessness for no reason, hanging the wooden rafts that people were expecting to Hanyang, how could there be such a catastrophe?"

Jiang Wenlun pursed his lips when he heard this, as if he didn't listen at all, and said, "Brother Xu, you look old-fashioned, according to the rumors on the rivers and lakes before, don't you also like to meddle in things?"

Xu Yao couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, but Jiang Wenlun couldn't help but continue, "That little young master just now made people unprovoked, which is hateful, but the crime is not death, and the actions of the old man in the row are too vicious."

Xu Yao took over the conversation when he heard this, "The monks are compassionate, the old monk sitting over there is not a joke, in terms of martial arts, I am not his opponent when I move, and I can't catch up with the Tao, besides, people are clearly here for this person, how can they sit idly by? Now he is silent, it is just a small punishment for him!"

Jiang Wenlun asked curiously when he heard this: "How do you see this, this young master doesn't look like he has anything to do with Buddhism." ”

After Xu Yao heard this, he didn't answer, got up and said, "You will know in the future, I don't have time to talk to you in detail at this time." Let's settle the bill and go. After finishing speaking, he threw out some broken silver and asked Xiao Er to come out to settle the bill, and then went out of the restaurant and hurried away without mentioning it.

The two of them have not been out of the county for half a day, Jiang Wenlun saw a burst of dust in the distance, a little closer, and found dozens of fierce men riding horses, running over with fierce eyes, Jiang Wenlun panicked in his heart, and looked to the side, Xu Yao, who had just been riding a horse and napping next to him, did not know when he had anointed the soles of his feet, and even the people and horses disappeared, Jiang Wenlun scolded secretly when he saw this, he didn't have time to think about it, and patted the horse's buttocks, and the white horse under his seat galloped forward.
