I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 36 Strange People in Small Town
Today, in the birthplace of ramen, this is the territory of ethnic minorities, but after the changes of the times, many Han people have moved here.

And in a local town dominated by Han people, the originally peaceful life was rippled by an outsider.

On this day, Li Laoliu drove his donkey to the town market as usual, selling some farm products and buying some daily necessities. He happened to meet his childhood playmate, Wang Musan, who had moved to the town a few years ago. .

After the two separated, although they did not meet much, the friendship between them did not become shallower, but became much deeper.

No, after Wang Musan saw Li Laoliu, he stopped him and forced Li Laoliu to his home.

After returning home, Wang Musan asked his mother-in-law to cook some vegetables and get some wine. He wanted to have a good drink and chat with his friends.

Taking advantage of the wine, the two of them reminisced about their childhood anecdotes and interspersed them with recent anecdotes. Unknowingly, Wang Musan mentioned the strange person who had recently arrived in the town, and said with a rather excited expression:
"I heard, there is a strange man coming to our town who is as strong as an ox."

"Tch, isn't it just that you have more strength? There's nothing strange about it."

Li Laosan was not interested in the strange people mentioned by his good friends. Even though he had heard people mention them a few times when he was going to the market, he didn't take it to heart. He was just a stronger person. What did he have to do with a farmer like him? What about relationships.

But looking at his friend's excited look, Li Laosan thought for a moment and reminded him:

"Isn't Zhou Laoli in our village very strong? When he was young, he could pick up Shi Nianzi by himself. Isn't that very strong?"

For his friend Li Laosan's disinterested words, Wang Musan obviously didn't believe his words. Wang Musan immediately told the facts he had witnessed with his own eyes with an excited expression:
"Can Lao Zhou compare with Qi Man? That Qi Man is not just a little bit stronger, he is really as strong as an ox. I saw with my own eyes that that man could drag an old ox that was plowing the fields backwards. "

"Really or not? You used to farm. The old scalper who plowed the land had the strength of at least a thousand kilograms. And he was dragging it backwards. His strength must have exceeded fifteen hundred kilograms."

Li Laoliu's temper is as stubborn as his donkey, and he will not change his views easily.

Even a friend who heard it said that he had seen it with his own eyes, but he was still a little doubtful. He knew very well how strong a cattle was, and it could definitely easily push an adult man away.

But if someone can pull a farm cow upside down, it's like pie in the sky, and it's doubtful.

Wang Musan, who was on the side, saw the look on his friend Li Laoliu's face, but he didn't know that he didn't believe it at all. The two had been playing together since childhood, and he knew very well what his friend's temperament was.

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes. How can this be faked? And that strange man also said that at noon the day after tomorrow, he would go to the City God's Temple to personally try the weight of the incense cauldron in front of the City God's Temple."

"Really?" After listening, Li Laoliu looked at his friend Wang Musan in surprise.

"There were so many people there when I said it, so of course it's true."

After seeing the surprised expression on Li Laoliu's face, Wang Musan felt very proud and continued to propose.

"You can come when the time comes. After reading it, you will know that I didn't lie to you."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Facing the friend's invitation, Li Laoliu thought carefully about the day after tomorrow, and then simply agreed.

After all, what his friend said was so true, and he was quite curious about how powerful that strange man was.

The two of them drank until the sun set westward.

Even before Li Laoliu left, Wang Musan did not forget to tell Li Laoliu to come to him before noon the day after tomorrow.Time flies, two days pass by in a flash, and the people coming and going in the town today are no less than during the big gathering that happens every five days.

These were all those who came to watch the excitement after hearing that a strange person was going to raise the incense cauldron.

Especially near the Chenghuang Temple, it can be said to be crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Even though it is still some time before noon, people have come early to occupy their seats, including Wang Musan and Li Laoliu who came together.

However, no one dared to grab the good seat in the innermost part, because it was reserved for the rich families in the town. Neither the residents of the town nor the farmers from the countryside dared to cross this red line.

Sometimes, the more powerful a family is, the more they value their own face and dignity and do not allow others to touch them even a little bit.

The Town God enshrined in the Town God's Temple also left some reputation in history during his lifetime. Therefore, although it is the Town God, the luxury of the Town God's Temple is no worse than that of the County Town God's Temple.

The incense cauldron in front of the Chenghuang Hall was jointly funded by the government and local wealthy households.

When it was cast, eight blacksmiths and more than 20 helpers were summoned, and it took a total of 18 days to complete the casting.

After the incense cauldron was cast, two old oxen were used to pull the cart. When it was placed, six strong men carried it together before placing it back in place.

The weight is definitely over a thousand kilograms, probably weighing two thousand kilograms.

And just looking at the thick texture, one can’t even think of moving it.

While people were waiting and chatting, no one knew that someone was looking down at them in the private room on the second floor of the tavern not far from the City God Temple.

In the box, Xu Yang looked at the large group of people in front of the City God's Temple. After roughly estimating that there were at least 3000 or [-] people, his face was suddenly full of smiles and he thought to himself:
It seems that this "powerful enough to carry a tripod" character design can be achieved today.

After looking at the sky, he saw that it was still quite a while before noon, so he was not in a hurry to go down. Instead, he ate side dishes and drank wine in the box, waiting for a good show at noon.

Time passed slowly amid the food and wine, and it was almost noon.

Just when the crowd's voices of doubt grew louder and louder.Xu Yang, who had already eaten and drank enough, immediately opened the window on the second floor of the tavern and shouted:
"Everyone, I'm here!"

After shouting, Xu Yang jumped down from the window, used Qing Gong, and flew over the heads of the crowd, heading towards the City God Temple.

wow~~~
A burst of exclamations broke out from the crowd.

The crowd who originally thought Xu Yang would not show up now noticed Xu Yang stepping on people's shoulders.

Seeing that he could actually step on other people's shoulders and run on people's heads, I was immediately shocked.

In the past, they could only hear from storytellers that the heroes of the world flew over the walls and traversed the water, and they thought it was an exaggeration.

But the lightness of Xu Yang's display at this time has opened their eyes and made people envious.
