Poyang Lake was known as Peng Lize in ancient times. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Peng, big also; This means that the shape of the lake resembles a gourd scoop.

At the narrow water surface at the north end of Poyang Lake, there is a ferry called "Poyangjin", which has been a transportation hub for passers-by to travel from east to west since ancient times.

On this sunny day, a large ferry boat sailed from east to west on Poyang Lake, carrying forty or fifty guests, and the identities of Shinong and businessmen were different.

When the ferry reached the middle of the ferry, the boss of the boat suddenly stopped the boat, and then beckoned his two men to help, and placed incense offerings on the bow of the boat, and burned incense and bowed together.

When the worship was finished, he sighed and threw the live chickens and ducks into the water.

It is strange to say that the chicken is just a duck, but the duck can swim in the water, but when it reaches the water, it only spreads its wings and flutters a few times, and suddenly there is a whirl on the water, and several chickens and ducks sink together and do not float up again.

The guests on the ship looked a little inexplicable, and one of the young scholars with a square face stepped forward and asked: "Boatman, are you sacrificing to that god? Not to mention that since it is a sacrifice, it should be a sincere spirit, and if you are so sad, how can the gods bless and bless you?"

When the boss of the boat saw that it was a scholar who was studying, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly replied: "This minister doesn't know anything, a pig dragon swam from nowhere a few years ago, and he actually settled down in our Poyang Lake. This pig dragon has become the climate, once entrusted a dream to the boatmen on both sides of the strait, saying that every time the boat sails, it is necessary to send live chickens and ducks to it to eat, in order to ensure smooth sailing, otherwise it will capsize!

At first, people didn't care, but the boat sank inexplicably in the middle of the river, but fortunately, the people on the boat were always pushed to the shore by a wave and did not cause any death. Everyone was frightened, so they followed the request of the pig Polong and prepared some chickens and ducks to contribute to it when sailing. It's just that we all rely on our strength to eat and earn some hard-earned money, once or twice, it's okay, we buy chickens and ducks every day, and life is inevitably getting tighter and tighter. ”

"It's the other way around!" The scholar was furious, and no longer paid attention to the boatman, strode to the bow of the boat, pointed to the lake under the boat, and shouted, "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, you demon dare to openly coerce the people and extort blood and food, do you really think that there is no king in the world of my great danger?"

The boss of the boat was so shocked that his face was as pale as dirt, and he hurriedly came forward to persuade him: "The prime minister is silent, and he is going to annoy that thing, and it will affect the villain and the guests on the boat!"

Looking at the poor boat boss and the guests who looked at him with resentment or fear, the scholar's breath was forced back into his chest and he couldn't come out, so he had to pause the bow of the boat and say, "Well, I won't deal with this demon at this moment." After I got off the boat, I immediately went to the government to report the case and see if no one would take care of this matter!"

As soon as these words came out, a strange laugh full of contempt suddenly came from the crowd.

The scholar immediately glared angrily, and the people flashed to both sides to show their innocence, and a strange man stood at the stern of the boat.

This person was born with a very large head with a sharp top and a wide bottom, a half-length messy hair that was not tied up in a bun, and a beard with sideburns and cheeks that grew up wantonly like grass, two eyes that were more white and less black, only two eyeballs the size of beans rolled in the sockets, and a mouth was so large that when it was opened, it almost grinned to the ears, revealing two rows of white and sharp teeth like beasts. He was not tall, his torso was rather stout, and his limbs were short and thin, which looked rather uneven.

When they saw this man, all the people in the boat were horrified, all of them were travelers, and most of them did not know each other, but everyone clearly remembered that there was no such "outstanding" person when they got on the boat, but they did not know how he appeared on the ship.

The scholar was first taken aback by the strange man's fierce appearance, but after calming down, he took a few steps forward, arched his hand towards the strange man, and said, "But this gentleman is laughing?"

The strange man rolled his small eyes and said proudly: "What if Lao Tzu is laughing?"

The scholar said angrily: "Dare to ask what is ridiculous about what you say?"

The strange man sneered: "Lao Tzu laughs at you for being a presumptuous scholar, but you really don't know what's going on." As the saying goes, 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water', even the government has set up cards to charge, I ...... Since the old dragon occupies this water, why can't he collect some blood food?"

"Strong words, nonsense!" the scholar shook his head again and again, "The government collects taxes and fees, which is the law of the imperial court, what kind of evil is that?"

The strange man's eyes were cold, and his figure flashed in front of the scholar, grabbed the clothes on the scholar's chest, and said with a gloomy face: "Your government has a law, and the old dragon also has one thing that is not bad at all, so he naturally has the same power as the government!"

Although the scholar's face was already a little pale, he still asked, "What is the thing about that demon?"

The strange man suddenly laughed: "It's this strength!"

Before the words fell, he had already lifted the scholar up like a lantern grass, and threw it into the water with a wave of his hand.

Everyone on the boat exclaimed in unison, and the boss of the boat bowed down to the strange man, and kowtowed again and again: "Grandpa Long is angry!"

He had already guessed from the conversation between the two that this strange man was the pig dragon.

The scholar was thrown by the pig dragon for a distance of twenty or thirty feet, and was about to fall into the water, when suddenly a man in the boat shot out like an arrow from a string, and in an instant he caught up with the scholar. The man reached out and grabbed the scholar by the shoulder, and his figure circled and flew back to the ship.

When the people on the boat looked at him in horror, they saw that the rescuer was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face, and beside him stood another young man who looked exactly the same and dressed as a pair of twin brothers. Behind the two teenagers was a young man in his twenties, asking if the frightened scholar had been injured.

Seeing that someone was meddling in his own affairs, Zhu Polong became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "Since you kid is nosy, let's go into the water with this nerd to cool off!"

As he spoke, he flashed over, and two dry and thin hands like chicken feet grabbed the scholar and the young man who saved people at the same time.

The young man who was talking to the scholar frowned slightly, and said: "Xu Biao, Xu Bao, drive it into the water, so as not to injure the innocent by mistake!"

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" the twin brothers agreed in unison, one out of their left arm and the other out of their right arm, respectively, to hold Zhu Polong's arms, and then one out of the right fist and the other out of the left fist, two not too big fists like two battering rams used to break through the city gate on the battlefield, and slammed heavily between Zhu Polong's chest and abdomen.

The pig dragon screamed, and his whole body was beaten backwards and flew more than ten feet away, and fell backwards into the water.

The two teenagers jumped out of the side of the boat together, maintaining the same posture and speed in the air, turning around, and burrowing into the water like koi piercing waves, but there was no splash.

"Little brother!" the scholar was so startled that he was about to pounce on the side of the ship.

The young man beside him stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these brothers, my two nephews have some means, and they will never lose to that evil animal in the water." You just have to watch from the boat, and you'll see it in a few hours. ”

The scholar was skeptical, but thinking that he was powerless, he finally listened to the young man's persuasion, and arched his hand: "I haven't asked my brother Taigao's surname, Ning Caichen, a disciple of Bailu Academy, and a native of Jiaxing Mansion in Liangzhejiang Province." ”

"Brother Tai's name is Ning Caichen?" The young man's expression was a little strange, and he also arched his hand, "In Xia Li Gongfu, the two Zhejiang Dao Hangzhou Mansion clans, and Brother Ning are considered fellow villagers. ”
