Gao Zhuo has been in the beggars' den all day today. As he expected, the beggars' gang has been completely disbanded.
A young elder pulled a group of people to support themselves on the mountain. Another group of people saw that life had no energy and the gang had become like this, so they simply went home.
However, there are so many beggars who have traveled all the way to City L, but in the end, the gang was wiped out without even taking a bite of fart. If you ask them to go home now, they will not be happy. They will have to beg here for a while no matter what, at least for a while.
Earn your travel expenses back.
After Gao Zhuo returned with chickens, ducks and fish, these beggars became more enthusiastic. On the one hand, it was because Gao Zhuo had entered the Shangqing Palace and brought back the news about the death of the gang leader, and even buried the gang leaders with his own hands.
On the other hand, it's also because Gao Zhuo was very popular in the gang before, so he had many side quests after all.
At present, the group is leaderless. Seeing Gao Zhuo come back is like finding a backbone. Gao Zhuo asks them to find out information about Qianju and other strangers.
The beggars immediately dispersed, and within two hours, news began to be passed to him one after another.
Although these beggars only know how to beg for food, in fact, during the Republic of China, the Beggar Gang once became the largest gang in the world, and even many powerful strangers passed down some unique skills to the gang.
For example, the art of hearing from all directions or the art of observing the six paths with eyes are the basic standard equipment for the core disciples of the Beggar Clan. There are also flying pigeons to carry messages. It is said that there are people in the Beggar Clan stronghold who specially tame carrier pigeons. In their heyday, they just flew in and out every day.
The number of pigeons produced was no less than a hundred.
He even delivered messages to the army during the Anti-Japanese War, etc.
It used to be considered a decent sect, but it is a pity that it has rotted into mud, otherwise Master Xue Gui would not have killed him so cruelly.
Gao Zhuo stayed in the beggar's den for a long time, constantly reading the news passed to him, and really learned a lot of things.
First of all, Qianju and the others were concentrated in a small village on the outskirts of the city during this period. The smell of medicine wafted out every day. They were probably recovering from their injuries. Later, it was confirmed that a beggar had even found out their prescription.
But this is understandable. After all, many people were injured after the last ghost market. In addition, the four first-class masters who were seriously injured by the master outside the Shangqing Palace yesterday meant that Qianju and the others suffered a lot of losses.
These gossips kept coming, and later they actually brought Gao Zhuo a rather strange news.
Someone inquired about Senju's past.
It is said that I learned about it from a young Taoist priest who happened to come to see Shu Mingqing. He was probably also a disciple of Quanzhen Longmen.
From his mouth, I learned that it was Qianju and his group who released the news that they broke into the Forbidden Palace to seize the Immortal Treasure.
They could be said to be the culprits in the turmoil that year.
The news was released and attracted many evil spirits to join in. As a result, all these evil spirits became cannon fodder. The reason why Qianju and the others were able to obtain the Immortal Treasure safely was because there was a eunuch in the palace who acted as an internal support for them, and they cooperated internally and externally to obtain the Immortal Treasure.
After they obtained the Immortal Treasure, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Unfortunately, they encountered Shu Maoqing. The Thousand Hands group was Shu Maoqing's opponent. Huo Wuji, who had the strongest fighting ability, was instantly killed.
The Immortal Treasure was also divided into four. In the end, the Three Thousand Hands captured three pieces, but the fourth piece mysteriously disappeared.
In addition to Qian Shu, the other person was the boss of Feng Lai Tower. Xu Tong already knew these things, so the third person was the eunuch who worked for them back then.
This person's name is Li Xi, but he also has another identity. It is said that he is a traitor of the Maoshan Sect. He rebelled from the Maoshan Sect for unknown reasons.
His whereabouts had been erratic for so many years, and the Maoshan Sect wanted to hunt him down, but he escaped many times.
"Maoshan Sect."
Xu Tong said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the Buddha statue under Beimang Yingyun Peak is his fault."
"It must be him." Gao Zhuo took a sip of the soup in the bowl and said, "No one knows what Li Xi's name is now. People who know him call him Master. He also hurriedly showed up not long ago to guard the city and the capital."
All the Hunjiang dragons around Qianju were taken away, and their whereabouts are unknown now, so they must not be holding back anything good."
After finishing speaking, Gao Zhuo came over mysteriously: "I heard the news that they seem to be planning to take action in two days, and they are reorganizing their troops now."
"Two days later."
Xu Tong calculated the time in his mind. There was still one day left before the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. Why did he choose to do it at this time?
Just when he was wondering in his mind what these guys were planning.
The mother and son at the other table had already stood up and seemed ready to leave. Xu Tong had no intention of interfering, but when the boy reached the door, he suddenly ran back and picked up the two guide coins on Xu Tong's table.
"Yangyang, what are you doing with this!"
When she saw her child taking other people's things, her mother immediately became angry.
He ran over and asked him to put it back, but Xu Tong just waved his hand: "It's okay, just take it and play with it."
On the contrary, I was very surprised. I am afraid that this child who took the guide money was not simply naughty, so he asked tentatively: "You know so much, who taught you?"
"I heard on the road that you have to have money when you go. Only with money can you walk comfortably."
The child looked at Xu Tong. Xu Tong took a closer look and found that the child did have a pair of double pupils in his eyes. He thought to himself that a person with double pupils, even a child, is much smarter than ordinary people.
The child seemed not to take his guide money in vain, saying: "I won't take your money in vain, I will tell you one thing in exchange."
Xu Tong was suddenly even more surprised. He looked at the child carefully with his deep eyes, and suddenly felt that this child might not be as smart as he was.
So I patiently listened carefully.
The child walked up to Xu Tong's ear and whispered: "Remember to take the red one!"
"What??"
Xu Tong was stunned and didn't understand what the child meant. When he was about to ask, the child had already pulled his mother away.
“What’s the red one??”
This was said in a vague and confusing way, but it also made him realize that the world of this script is far from being as simple as what he saw. Even in this age of the end of the Dharma, when all laws have withered, there are still many things that are difficult to explain.
thing.
By the time he and Gao Zhuo returned to Shangqing Palace, it was almost dawn.
He was still thinking about the child along the way, and wanted to follow him to have a look, but when he chased him out, the child had disappeared.
I took a closer look with my dark vision and found the shadow of a carriage in the distance. The carriage was hung with a white lantern. It ran lightly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
That should be the carriage leading to the underworld, but I don't know if the child got on the carriage with his mother.
Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them pushed the door open and saw Chang Miao actually starting a set of boxing skills in the yard.
The boxing skills are very ordinary. Although Xu Tong is a layman, with the blessing of the prop card [Close Combat Technique], he can still see some skills.
But what shocked him was that not long ago, Chang Miao almost lost his breath while meditating. His clumsy appearance was completely different from what he saw in front of him.
Judging from his agile movements, he can't be called a master, but at least he can deal with a few ordinary people without any problem.
His strength is not high, but how long has this guy already made such rapid progress?
The master sitting on the side was sitting on a chair, drinking tea brought by Ci Min, and from time to time he reminded Chang Miao that the place was wrong.
Chang Miao listened carefully and changed it the next time.
"Hiss!! Is this guy a martial arts prodigy??"
On the side, Gao Zhuo's eyes widened. He was from a martial arts training background. This rough boxing technique was simple. Most people wouldn't be able to master the full set if they didn't practice it for a month or two.
Not only did Chang Miao win the fight, but she was also able to change her routine from front to back at will, which made people exclaim in surprise.
Xu Tong ran up to his master and asked curiously. The master took a sip of tea and said, "Hey, it's fate. Take a look!"
The master said as he picked up a small notebook and handed it to Xu Tong. The small notebook was naturally the fragment of a chapter on Taishang Induction passed down to Chang Miao by Taoist Zhuzhu.
"This is the number of days. There are times in life that must come, but there are no times in life. Don't force it."
The master roughly explained it, and it turns out that this chapter on Taishang Induction and the book on the Tao of Purification given to Chang Miao have the same origin, and even this fragment is superior.
It's a pity that it's a fragment. A normal person would seek death if he practices cultivation. It can range from paralysis to death. It was because of bad intentions that Taoist Zhuzhu taught this to Chang Miao.
Fortunately, Chang Miao was very lucky. After obtaining the fragment, he was able to complete it from the Beggar Clan's filthy ways. During this period of practice, it had the effect of being completely reborn.
Chang Miao came to see his master just now because he didn't understand a few things, so he came to ask his master for advice. The master was shocked when he saw that his body had undergone wonderful changes, and even his destiny had been changed.
When he asked, he found out about Taoist Zhuzhu, which surprised him, so he explained it to him and gave him a basic set of boxing techniques.
"This guy really has a leading role!"
Xu Tong looked at Chang Miao and couldn't help but sigh, this luck is simply incredible.
A manure worker counterattacked like a cheat all the way. According to the direction of the script that he knew, Chang Miao must have finally become a top figure in the underworld. Now because of his own changes, will Chang Miao become stronger in the future?
Woolen cloth?
In other words, since Chang Miao can change his destiny, can he also change his master's destiny?
Xu Tong felt thirsty unconsciously in his wild thoughts. When he saw his master drinking the remaining tea, he was about to reach out to drink it. As soon as his hand touched the cup, his master picked up the cup unhurriedly and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
He glanced at it and said: "How can you be just talking about fate?"
After saying that, he asked Ci Min to take out the prepared box and hand it to him: "Go, your friend is probably hungry too. Let's deliver it to him before dawn."
