Chapter 76
No.30 Nine times of magic sticks borrowed from Zhu Run to return the iron box and met Yang Yao out of the well (1)
It is said that Yang Yao, Yuan Wu, and He Neng agreed on a plan, and suddenly saw a person jumping down and shouting: "The one who watched Tucheng privately, but the elder brother Xiaoyangchun?" Yinghao? Call him Yang Yaojian." The man approached and said: "Brother's name, please wait a moment, please look at this object first." Then he sent it with both hands.Yang Yao picked it up and looked at Yuexia, but it was the water-grinded black lacquered vine tangled iron rod that he missed all the time.All of a sudden, he said: "This stick has been away for a long time, but tonight it suddenly appeared in my eyes. What is your name, how can I get it from Le Tang?"

The man said: "Brother is from Xi'an. People call me Tanlilong Zhu Run. Because of selling felt, I met rebel soldiers on the road and fought with him, but they robbed my goods and couldn't chase them. I lost all my capital for a while. The month before last Passing through this, Wang Bao recognized him as a villain, secretly ordered someone to pour Menghan medicine in the hotel. Fortunately, there were two banknotes for customs clearance in the package, and he knew it was a seller, so he released the antidote. See me burly , then asked about the length. I told the reason, and left me as a bodyguard. Given a big knife, I danced until there was no leakage, and he was happy, so I had to stay. But seeing his behavior was treacherous and exaggerated, I wanted to Be careful to leave. Unexpectedly, there were many posts posted the day before yesterday. I only asked people secretly, so I found out that I have these reasons with my brother. My brother's name has been well-known in the world for a long time, so I can't even see him. I also know that this stick is my brother's favorite, so I only ride it tonight. I took it empty, and jumped out of the city. Because I saw someone outside the city, I knew it was my brother who came to see his earthen village, so I jumped down and ran to my brother."

Yang Yao was overjoyed.Then they entered the stronghold together and told all the brothers about it.The brothers were pleasantly surprised for a moment, so they looked at sticks and recognized people.Zhu Runsui wanted to make a knot, but Yang Yao stayed and returned to the village to gather together.Then he told the story of the cottage, and Zhu Run was overjoyed.Wine and food are prepared in the village, and everyone sits and eats.Yuan Wu sent people to prepare to pour water into the city, Yang Yao stopped laughing and said, "This stick in Le Tang's hands is nothing more than an instrument ear. I use it now, and there will be endless changes. I have built ships in the past, and now I have the original stick. Both water and land have great skills, so why worry about not getting into Minertu City! Tomorrow morning, all the brothers will be able to do it together." All the brothers were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

When the next day came, it was a gloomy day.Envoy Yang Yao fired a thunderous cannon to Lei, and all the military academies set up ladders. At one moment, the golden drums rang together, and the sound of the cannons moved the ground, and they all rushed to the city.Wang Bao hurriedly fired all the guns and crossbows, and all the brothers couldn't go forward for a while.I saw Yang Yao go forward alone, and danced the stick to such a wonderful point that the arrows were invulnerable.In an instant, the person followed the stick, and the stick took advantage of the person to fly, soaring into the air and leaping up the city.Wang Bao suddenly saw Yang Yao jumping into the city from the air, he was frightened out of his wits and ran forward.All the villagers bowed down to Yang Yao and begged for mercy.At this time, all the brothers went up to the city from the ladder, each went to seize the gate, and put them into the military academy.Yang Yaoyin said to all the villagers: "Wait up. I am now a righteous teacher, how can I kill a person indiscriminately. If you kill Wang Bao and send it, you will have a reward."

All the villagers responded together and went to catch them.At this time, it was raining heavily, so Yang Yao walked into the house.I saw all the villagers tied up Wang Bao and Le Tang and said: "Wang Bao and Le Tang hid in the pit toilet, and the villains tied them up and offered them." Both of them knelt in the rain.Yang Yaozheng pointed at Wang Bao and yelled angrily. Unexpectedly, all the brothers came down with steel knives, chopping them up like mud in an instant.He came to chop Letang again, but Yang Yao hurriedly stopped him from killing.Yin said: "I have no enmity with Le Tang. It's just because he boasted that I went to find him to set him free, not him to find me for revenge. I just laugh at his lack of eyesight, and now he is helping evil and doing wrong. I'm a greedy villain. I will execute him as a case today, making people laugh at me for being petty. Just let him kneel in the rain, wash his heart, and let him be a good person."

Seeing that Yang Yao didn't kill him, Le Tang just kowtowed in the rain.All the villagers came to thank Yang Yaotong for killing Wang Bao.Yang Yao couldn't help asking for it, because he ordered: "Wang Bao committed evil, and I have already punished him. But he took over other people's wives and daughters, as well as land and other items, and everyone claimed them separately, leaving him to pass on his inheritance for his wife and children. You In the future, don't forget to hate Wang Bao and bully his family." Everyone bowed and left together.

Yang Yaoyin said to Le Tang again, "I have your stick now, so don't make you complain later." So he was rewarded with ten platinum ingots.Le Tang hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The villain dared to accept the reward because of the righteous man's forgiveness to death? Now that I think about it carefully, this stick should be used by the righteous man, and only the words on the stick should be used." After hearing this, Yang Yao asked in surprise : "What words are on the stick? You can stand up and speak."

Le Tang then thanked him and said: "The little man passed by the Yellow River in the past, and suddenly saw something. The water suddenly sank and floated, surging and leaping, like a dragon swimming. I was so surprised that I hurriedly followed the boat. Suddenly it floated out of the water. I picked it up and said it was a wooden stick. Seeing that the mud was heavy, I rubbed it carefully until the iron color was polished, so I knew it was a dirty iron stick. A few more lines of writing were found, and I can't explain it in detail for a while. Then he visited a famous teacher, taught him the technique of the stick, and danced proficiently. Then he made the cane wrapped in black paint, and the outside was ground with water, leaving only the head of the stick unwrapped in paint. Words. Now that I think about it carefully, the righteous man is surnamed Yang, and he should belong to the Lord." Yang Yao hurriedly took out the stick and looked closely with the brothers, and he saw a few lines of small characters chiseled on it.I saw:
Take the essence of iron and cast the hero.

[-], the price is priceless.

The spouse is easy to use, use it vertically and horizontally.

Prospered in Jingxiang, bowed to Yue Bing.

If you hear the wonderful truth, Xiao Ran and his party.

After reading it, Yang Yao was overjoyed and said: "I didn't pay attention to it back then, but I saw these handwritings. Thanks to you for telling me today. If Jiang Muyi's spouse is really my surname." Then he rewarded Le Tang generously and left.Yang Yao then sent an order to demolish the earthen village, burn all the prohibited items, and then got up.

I went back to the original place a few days ago and looked at it, and I was shocked.Some doubts are returned first, and some doubts are taken away by others.Yuan Wu just shook his head.Just as I was wondering, I suddenly saw that the lake disappeared for a while, revealing this big ship, flying towards it.He Yunlong hurriedly picked up all the brothers on board.Yang Yao hurriedly asked why he was so surprised by what he saw just now.He Yunlong smiled and said: "My brother is so ingenious, my brother has to use yin and yang to escape to cover up the natural craftsmanship." Yang Yao was overjoyed, and immediately sent an order to start the wheel.

In a few days, I have arrived at Dazhai, Junshan, Dongting.That is to slaughter cattle and horses, worship heaven and earth with all brothers, and swear to live and die together.Yang Yao and Wang Mo sat on it side by side. Yuan Wu, Wo Tai, Tai Yuan, Ma Yu, Sun Ben, Yin Shangchi, Tu Qiao, Zheng Tianyou, Shu Dong, Ke Bing, Tong Liang, Luo Jingde, Shi Dongshou and others were in the east. Qing, Duan Zhong, Liu Lin, Huang Zuo, Lao Jie, Luo Ying, Hou Chao, [-] in total.In the Xishou area are He Neng, You Liuyi, Teng Yun, Hao Xiong, Zhang Jie, Ding Qian, Chang Kuang, Yu Deming, Hua Mao, Bo Jian, Lu Tong, Wang Xin, Cen Yongqi, Xiang Lei, Sui Ju, Zhu Run, Zhang Wenyong, Guo Fan, [-] in total.The plain seat next to him is He Yunlong.There are a total of forty leaders in this gathering.When the brothers eat wine together, I really can't describe all the flavors of the feast, and I can't praise the brothers for their joy.Since then, I have been drinking freely.

During the banquet one day, Yang Yao said to all the brothers: "The three major things I did the day before yesterday, I am so happy that I have accomplished my skills, but because of the urgency of revenge, the cottage lake has temporarily stopped. Now that I come back, I have to worry about anyone It's hard work." He Neng hurriedly attended and agreed.Yang Yao said again: "Since the Song Dynasty can lose gold, I, Yang Yao, would not use this Dongting to strengthen myself? But those who are strong must have enough food. Today, the two leaders and Yuan Wu brought twenty brothers and a thousand soldiers. Subdue Chu and use it for the cottage." Wang Mo also promised himself.So he chose a day to start work, and Wang Mo and Yuan Wu led all the brothers away.

Yang Yao and others were in charge of the mountain and demolished all the old halls and new houses, leaving only Xuanyuan Temple and Xiangfei Pavilion intact.So the base site was broad, and five wide halls were built.There is a long profile on both sides, with a gate tower in front and several layers of secret rooms in the back. Xuanyuan Temple is called "Military and Political Hall", and Xiangfei Pavilion is called "Xiaoao Pavilion".There are four gates on the steep cliffs: Longpan in the east, Huju in the west, Baoyin in the south, and Guanlan in the north.They also built several soils to surround the city, and built military houses and barracks. It was a huge project and cost tens of thousands of gold every day.There was no news from Wang Mo's office to pay for it for a while, so Yang Yao was very hesitant.

Hao Xiong and Zhang Jie came forward and said: "My two brothers have been on the mountain for many years, and I heard that people who have been doing business here over the years divide the property they get into two shares, and put one share into Xuanyuan Well as a reward to the gods. I'm going to commit a crime. The two of us have invested a lot. Why don't you ask the gods to borrow it and let people go down to take it out, I'm afraid it will be enough." Yang Yao said: "When I used to see the water in Xuanyuan Well overflowing, how could it be for a while Can it be taken down?" Hao Xiong said: "At the beginning, there was a legend that this well not only had a spring, but also had an orifice in it, which went straight through the bottom of Dongting Lake and went up to Mount Lushan. When the two of us went up the mountain, there was a drought for a year, and the well also gradually The lack of water is probably absurd. In the past few days, there have been many workers on the mountain, and the water below the mountain cannot be supplied, so they dig water from the well. Now that the water is getting scarce, if people use rickshaws to dry it, they can go down."

Hearing this, Yang Yao said with great joy: "There must be some evidence for the ancient legends. I think the orifices were blocked by mud. Today, I will take silver for one thing, and look for the orifices for the other. If I find this path, I will increase my fortune. I have done a lot." He Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard that he could pass Mount Lushan, and said: "If there is a way to reach Mount Lushan, it will be very easy for me to visit Master."

Yang Yao went to the well to have a look, and saw that the water was mostly shallow.So he asked people to prepare gifts and prayed, and at the same time asked people to draw water.If it doesn't take half a day, the water will be exhausted.That is to say, a wooden frame was set up, a bamboo basket with ropes was lowered, and a bell was tied to it, so that people could sit in the basket, and several people fell down in a row.These people are groping in the mud below, and groping for a lot of silver taels.Then put mud and water into the basket, then shake the top to ring the bell, and the top is pulled up together, so the basket can't be pulled.Yang Yao asked in the well, "Have you ever seen any orifices?"
