Chapter 935 The iron cable crosses the river and cuts off the middle flow
“These porters run barefoot on the earth, and with every step they take, they accumulate a tiny trace of spirituality.”
"On the long road, even if this method of spiritual accumulation is extremely inefficient, it is enough for many of them to achieve spiritual perfection. At this time, they can transform into extraordinary beings on other paths, such as street gangsters - they are called
Hurting around for green skin."
"A person with perfect spirituality needs to go through a secret ritual called 'opening', causing trouble on the street and allowing others to harm themselves."
"In the end, their elders, Da Shuo, led them to their gathering, Guohuo, and taught them the secrets of opening the Ouroboros Gate. They called the secret knowledge of 'worshiping the ancestors' and were able to advance to the second level of extraordinary beings.
'Hunxingzi'. Then they further accumulate spirituality through rogue behaviors such as begging for money, bullying others, etc., until they become successful and famous. After going through the secret rituals of 'drawing lots of death', 'setting up a stockade', 'getting together in a pot', etc., they are promoted to
The third level of 'big show'!"
"In addition to the Qingpi Path, they can also practice martial arts and embark on a mysterious path called 'True Martial Arts'."
"This path specializes in fighting, it's very scary, and it's extremely easy to take part-time jobs."
"Almost every incoming transcendent in this city will take part-time job in this path and practice a secret technique of 'extraordinary weapons', possessing different abilities."
"Transcendents of the green-skinned path have extremely strong endurance and resilience, and are rich in combat experience. At the same time, they do not have any gentlemanly character."
"They will use any weapons, poisons and means to deal with their enemies."
"The number of official knights and Holy Church priests missing in this city exceeds hundreds."
"This is something that no one can underestimate..."
"Even the Archbishop who was sent here by the Holy Church was killed by a group of supernatural beings who were 'theosophical' or some other messy path - they were called the 'Boxers', and they were a supernatural association all over the north.
"
"We have to have a fierce conflict with the Eastern Transcendents!"
"Apparently, sir, that's why you and I were sent here. The West needs our diplomacy skills to avoid conflicts among the ancient supernatural societies of this country."
"Three living saints ascended to heaven, a knighthood sent by the church to the east was completely wiped out, all the churches in the north were destroyed, and the families and colonists who came to the east suffered heavy losses. In the end, we had to ask for an audience with their emperor and use the emperor to control
Due to his desire for immortality and his concerns about the Boxers, a widespread supernatural association, he promised to offer 'elixir', and finally managed to use the imperial court to destroy this extensive extraordinary association."
"Even so, we are discriminated against and excluded in this land."
"Except for the land the emperor promised us to live in temporarily, we can't even go out easily, otherwise we will disappear..."
"From the most basic extraordinary path - porters, we have accumulated more than 100,000 extraordinary apprentices, and then transferred to different paths through 'rules'. They have established a large and complex extraordinary system in this city, and
There is an endless supply of backup candidates.”
"Many extraordinary people don't even know that they have entered the path. It can be said to be the ultimate 'secret'."
"This allows them to spread the extraordinary widely while retaining most of their mysterious power!"
"So you think they're performing stupid, primitive rituals?"
There was a deep sense of fear in Drummond's tone.
"No, sir, this is the participation of more than 100,000 extraordinary apprentices, involving several paths, more than 20 secret societies in this city, and dozens of extraordinary professions jointly arranged to stop the secret sect 'White Lotus' with the deepest foundation in the entire north.
, the secret ritual to summon the evil god!”
Kadoorie suddenly fell silent!
He looked at the lively gathering that was noisy, rustic, and blended with a strong atmosphere of life. It was common to everyone, but it also contained a deep 'secret'.
I finally got a glimpse of the thick shadow under the surface of this deep civilization that has been entrenched in the East for countless years.
Dozens of capable sailors and porters.
Drummond prefers to call them the second-level transcendent of the Dragon King path and the Hercules path.
The first level of ‘sternmen’ and ‘porters’.
The second level ‘Sailor’ and ‘Hercules’.
The third level ‘shipman’ and ‘leader’.
The ‘rudder’ and ‘land’ of the fourth level!
The porters and sailors on these small boats have muscles all over their bodies. They have practiced boxing and kicking, and they are as strong as walking on the flat ground on the hull.
With the crane on the steam steamer, the four thick iron chains were lowered.
On the river, four small boats were rowed up, each with eight strong men, sailors.
They shouted slogans, lifted up the anchor weighing several tons, took it, and put it on the ship.
Then there were several small boats. Under the master's exquisite control, the iron chain on the steam steamer slipped out bit by bit. From time to time, a small boat came up and caught a piece of it.
Throughout the river, four iron chains tens of meters long were supported by more than a dozen small boats and parked on the river.
"Make Dharma fire!"
The helmsmen of the canal gangs on both sides of the Taiwan Strait gave a shout, and four iron chains were extended.
Two small boats carrying huge furnaces and braziers came to the place where they met end to end.
Along with the chants, the strongmen carried the iron chains into the furnace, and several blacksmiths fought hard to blow the wind.
The leader of the blacksmith picked up a rooster, with round red eyes that made people exclaim, what a rooster.
??????55.??????
But the blacksmith only scratched the rooster's neck, and the chicken's blood spurted out and was poured on the fire. Suddenly the flames turned from red to green, and the fire was pure green, burning the iron chain red.
The two strong men and the blacksmith's apprentice used huge pliers to pull out one end of the chain.
The master blacksmith picked up a sledgehammer and was about to forge the two iron chains together.
But the huge hammer struck the thick iron chain, causing sparks to fly, but it remained motionless, with no intention of merging at all.
The master blacksmith's expression changed!
"Are these iron chains old anchor chains?"
The master blacksmith's face turned red from the heat. He glanced at the sparks flying from the iron chain, reached out to take a few points, and rubbed them carefully in his hand.
On the high platform, a Taoist priest carrying a magic sword saw the clues.
The Taoist priest said to the helmsman of Wei Cao next to him: "This thing is an old anchor unloaded by foreigners from an ocean-going ship. It has been soaked in the deep sea all year round. The gas of Guishui is too strong, and I am afraid it cannot be melted in an ordinary furnace fire!"
"no!"
The master blacksmith on the ship also said loudly: "This thing shocked the Dragon King, and it was sprayed by the Dragon King with a mouthful of mysterious water. Ordinary furnace fire can't melt it at all! Even if I use coal essence for a thousand years, it will be useless!"
The coal essence is mined from the Western Mountains, and is like a black-feathered chicken!
Only with the manpower and material resources of Caobang, six thousand-year-old coal-fired chickens were found, burned in the fire, and then sacrificed with the blood of the carefully raised angry-eyed chickens to stimulate their spirituality.
But I didn't expect that these four anchor chains were all unloaded from ocean-going cargo ships.
Each one has been soaked in the deep sea for decades, and has traveled across the oceans with Westerners.
It’s no longer a mortal thing!
"We will send two people each..."
The old gangster on the case raised his three fingers and raised the only two fingers on his hand. The two leaders of the Cao Gang hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement.
The two gangsters in brocade robes were dressed in a majestic manner, and their satin suits were more impressive than the princes in the capital.
They walked out of the column with square steps, one with fists clasped in all directions and a proud face, while the other had a solemn face with a hint of sadness.
The two came to the stove. The majestic gangster glanced at the fire, raised his eyebrows, put on a five-person look, and said with a smile: "Hey! You guys are really weak, you can't do it without me!"
"
After that, he took out the knife and swiped it on his neck.
The blood from his neck suddenly spurted out, and he was sacrificed to the furnace!
The fire in the furnace turned from green to red, and blood gradually reached the anchor chain.
The old blacksmith bowed three times to the gangster's body, and then cursed at the stunned apprentice next to him: "What are you still doing? Blacksmithing!"
The sledgehammer was swung up and hit the anchor chain hard.
This time the red anchor chain was finally deformed by the hammer.
The gangster on the other side had a sad face, cupped his hands in all directions, and simply jumped into the fire...
Four lives were lost, and the four large chains were finally strung together to form two huge iron cables hundreds of meters long across the South Canal.
The ends are cast into large iron rings.
At this moment, even ordinary people who have never seen anything before know what Caobang and Qingpihang want to do!
"Iron Lock Hengjiang...the last time, that was all happened during Cao Cao's time!"
"The time was right, but it was a chain-linked boat, and crossing the river was an old plan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. When the Later Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, it failed with a brazier plan! The last time, it was a long hair..."
"Shut up! How dare you say this?"
Upstairs at Wanghai Tower, a group of scholars in long gowns were talking about ancient times.
"Please Stone Ox!"
The helmsman of the North Canal stood on the high platform and shouted.
The big gangster Wang Haichuan was playing with a group of green men, naked, a master of martial arts, and a master of footwork.
Nearly a hundred people were barefoot, wearing belts, and carrying huge burdens on their shoulders.
Dozens of well-known figures, as well as dozens of strong men on foot, carried a huge stone ox from the northeast corner of the city. Step by step, shouting slogans, they lifted the huge stone ox, one foot high, several feet long, and
The stone oxen, which could reach half of the city, moved towards the river little by little.
On the opposite side of the Lion Forest and Hebei Street, there was also a group of people carrying another huge stone ox, walking towards the river step by step.
"Yellow River Stone Ox?"
"This thing is a river-control device of the old pontoon bridge. Wasn't it lost for two hundred years? This...where did you find this?"
"It was dug out of the Guyu River three days ago. The Cao gang used a big boat to roll the logs across the dry land and moved it dozens of miles."
The onlookers have never seen this excitement, the iron rope across the river, the stone cow town...
It seems that Caobang is really cruel.
Not to mention this is just a ghost ship in the Red Mansion, even if the real King of Hell and the river demon are coming, it can still be stopped!
"This... even if the Yin soldiers cross the border, they won't be able to pass this level!"
The stone cow landed steadily in front of the Chaoguan Floating Bridge, its entire body resting on the river bank.
Thousands or tens of thousands of porters, step by step, pulled the stone ox and stabilized it on both sides of the canal.
The iron chain, which was as thick as a hug, was lifted up by sailors on dozens of small boats and hundreds of porters on the shore, and then the iron ring at the end was hung on the horn of the stone ox!
Chapter completed!
