Shen Tong was stunned. He really didn't expect that the jade-like monk in front of him was so ruthless: "Why are you so cruel and must kill everyone?"
Several disciples of the Beggar Clan on the side said boldly: "Brother Shen, why bother begging him? He has ruined the face of our Beggar Clan. If he wants us to die, let's just fight him!"
As he spoke, one person activated his mechanism, and the pear blossom needles of a heavy rain poured down towards enlightenment like a curtain of rain.
Enlightenment stirred up inner energy, the loose monk's robe was rolled up, and the dozens of rainstorm pear blossom needles fell to the ground: "It was you who caused me to kill these people. It was you who led them down the wrong path. There are some things." If you do it, you can't go back."
"Stop talking nonsense." A group of Beggar Clan disciples shouted, and they all took action together, with fists, feet, and swords directed at Suo Wu.
Shen Tong looked at the brothers, gritted his teeth, flew towards Suo Wu, and shouted: "You guys leave quickly, you guys leave quickly!"
All the Beggar Clan disciples were stunned. It was during this moment that they suddenly summoned their inner strength and punched Shen Tong in the chest.
Shen Tong's chest suddenly dented, and his heart and lungs exploded like thunder. Blood stasis instantly filled his entire chest. He looked up at the dark night, his lips trembling: "Quickly... hurry up, hurry up." ···”
Where else can I go?
The palms of his awakened hands flew up, as if they had transformed into thousands of hands and hundreds of arms. The Beggar Clan disciples felt a powerful wave of air surrounding their bodies, and in the blink of an eye they rose into the sky like fallen leaves. They shouted, screamed, and shouted loudly. He lost his life due to shouting and confusion.
The sound of the Buddha's name "Amitabha" washes away everything in the world like a roaring bell. The stars and moon are silent, and the caterpillar fungus is silent.
Dust to dust, dust to dust.
Awakening put down his sleeves and walked home alone, leaving the corpses like fallen leaves behind him to the night and the insects.

Beggar Gang, Dragon Ascension Ceremony.
The Rising Dragon Ceremony is the handover ceremony of the leader of the Beggar Clan, and is held in the Beggar Clan's Rising Dragon Hall. The Rising Dragon Hall is located on the west side of the main hall of the Beggar Clan. It is three to four times larger than the ordinary house of the Beggar Clan. According to the old man People say that the Shenglong Hall was modeled after the Xuanzheng Hall of the previous emperor. It was magnificent and somewhat domineering.
A bull horn sounded, followed by a burst of thunderous drums. The door of the hall slowly opened with the sound of drums. Yan Zhuo, led by Qiao Zhenyue, slowly walked through Shenglong Avenue. The newly appointed masters of the main hall on both sides of the avenue Arranged on the left and right, continuing along the avenue, a nine-foot-nine incense stick with a height of nine feet and nine inches in diameter stood like a pillar on a huge incense burner.
Yan Zhuo was shocked when he looked at the pillar. He obviously didn't expect that the Bongtian Incense would be so huge. Qiao Zhenyue looked at Yan Zhuo's expression, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes. He recalled that he had the same expression when he saw the Bongtian Incense. Zhou Wantong, who was leading the way, also joked: "With these damn rules set by Xiao Peng, being a leader of the Beggar Clan is like being an emperor."
This Bongtianxiang is still the Bongtianxiang from back then, but the people who led him and set the rules are no longer there.
Qiao Zhen Yueyun took a breath, then put on a solemn voice, and said: "Please, Master Yan, light some incense and tell the ancestors of the Beggar Clan to protect the three states of the Beggar Clan and ensure good weather and good harvests."
Yan Zhuo bowed to Tongtian Incense, took the torch from Qiao Zhenyue, climbed up slowly to his disciples, and lit the sulfur placed on the incense head in advance. As the flame of the incense head gradually disappeared, a white Smoke rose slowly into the sky.
"Please invite the leader of the Beggar Clan and the leader of the Nine Halls to come into the palace to discuss matters." Qiao Zhenyue shouted loudly.
The Shenglong Hall is nine feet wide and fifteen feet long. There is nothing but a chair in the middle. As soon as Yan Zhuo entered the room, he felt deserted: "Brother, this hall is too deserted. It is not popular at all."
No."
"It's not cold yet. Have you seen the chair in the middle? That chair is cold." Qiao Zhenyue patted Yan Zhuo's shoulder and said, "This Shenglong Hall has always been like this, and it's not often used.
The main reason is that the previous gang leader was too ostentatious and chose such a name, and the succeeding gang leader could not change it without authorization because of the legacy set by the gang leader, so he had to stay here and become a decoration like that stool."
Yan Zhuo nodded.
"Let's go, brother, let me take you to sit on that chair." Qiao Zhenyue led Yan Zhuo towards the chair in the middle.
This chair is nine feet high and five feet wide, which means ninety-five supreme. On the back of the chair is a giant dragon with all five claws spread out, which is extremely majestic. Beside one of the giant dragons, there are nine pythons surrounding it.
Circling, under these nine python dragons, there are six Soaring Cloud Qilin arranged on the left and right.
"This chair is called Ten Dragons Gathering. The giant dragon in the center is the leader of the Beggar Clan. The nine python dragons around it are the nine heads of the nine Beggar Clan. These six unicorns represent the six directions of the Beggar Clan."
Qiao Zhenyue said and touched the Ten Dragons Qi Hui, "I don't like this chair. It's too cold. Sitting on it will inevitably lead to criticism from the Five Kingdoms and Ten Sects."
Since the death of the last emperor of the Taisho Dynasty, the title of emperor has disappeared in the Kyushu. Even the Jiangzuo Dynasty, which claims to be the orthodox Taisho Dynasty, can only use the word "emperor". The other four kingdoms all have the title of king or king.
, the slightest trespass will be attacked by other countries.
"Indeed, the name of the Shenglong Palace and the chair of the Ten Dragons Gathering are very reminiscent of each other." Yan Zhuo also took a picture of the Ten Dragons Gathering, "It seems that it is better not to come in this hall in the future."
Qiao Zhenyue smiled and said: "This hall is here, and it will always be seen by people. It is better to let people take a look at it openly."
Yan Zhuo was stunned and asked: "Brother, you..."
"I don't mean anything. Everything is up to you, brother." Qiao Zhenyue looked at the hall leaders aside, "Wu Jinzhong, Peng Youyi, Peng Youwu, Lu Sanpao, the four of you are all old men of the Beggar Clan.
, you should also know the rules of the Beggar Clan."
The four people responded in unison: "We understand that the leader of the Yan clan is here, please accept the bows of my subordinates."
Yan Zhuo quickly helped the four of them up and said, "They are all brothers, so don't be polite."
Qiao Zhenyue said again: "Zhang Jingjiu hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, you can tell him what happened. Shen Tong and Hu Beifeng's nephews can continue to work in the Beggar Clan. There is no need to kill them all. Okay, that's all I'll say, beggars."
It’s up to you to decide what the future holds.”
As he said this, he stood up and walked to the back window of the hall, climbed out of the window and left Shenglong Hall under the eyes of everyone in the hall. He was leaving, just like Zhou Wantong did at that time, leaving quietly to find a little girl on Yunmengze.
Island, enjoy the rest of your life.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside the hall, Qiao Zhenyue took a deep breath. His whole body felt relaxed and his steps were smooth. He smiled and sighed: "Losing your martial arts skills is not necessarily a bad thing."
At the end of the ceremony, Yan Zhuo accepted the congratulatory gifts from the gang leaders and branch helms. This meant that each hall and branch helmsman of the Beggar Clan accepted Yan Zhuo as their new gang leader, and it also meant that Yan Zhuo could legitimately control this gang.
The largest gang in the world with nearly 100,000 members.
※※※※※
There are no white clouds for thousands of miles, and rivers of blood for thousands of miles are hard to see. There is no clear river, and there are no kings and no ministers. In ten years of calamity for the common people, all good people will be destroyed. It is difficult for the loyal and good to protect themselves, and the two swallows fly separately. Good things sometimes come to an end, and bad things never come to an end. If you want to
To survive, you must have a knife in your hand.
A middle-aged man with mixed black and white hair kept repeating this passage in his mouth. He had a sharp chin and a high nose. Even in middle age, he was still handsome. The sharp and handsome look between his eyebrows was not inferior to that of a young man, but at this moment
The originally deep eyes were filled with sorrow: "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
The middle-aged man who asked three questions in succession was none other than Luo Ao, the leader of Baiyun Kingdom.
"Husband, why do you look so ugly?" Cui Niang asked with concern.
Luo Ao looked at Cui Niang, who was wearing elegant plain clothes, with a smile on his face and said: "Cui Niang, it's okay."
Cui Niang pinched Luo Ao's shoulder and said in a low voice: "These words are just like that. If you hold it in without saying it, it will make you bloated."
Luo Ao smiled and looked at Cui Niang's exquisite figure that was almost concealed, and couldn't help but joked: "Madam, I'm not holding it back."
Cui Niang's hand couldn't help but become stronger, and said: "I'm not serious, I mean that balloon, what are you thinking about? You. Whether you like to talk or not, I don't care to listen. Besides, even if it's you.
I know even if you don’t tell me.”
"Madam, what do you know?"
Cui Niang thumped Luo Ao's shoulder and said slowly: "Gu Zhiyuan was killed by Luo Lie. Baiyun Kingdom lost two powerful generals at once. Then the prophecy of the knife loaner spread in Baiyun Kingdom, causing people's hearts to fluctuate.
chant."
Luo Ao looked at Cui Niang in front of him and said with a smile: "It seems you really know why you are like a roundworm in my stomach."
"Of course I know, and I also know that this man always doesn't like to talk about the difficulties he encounters, especially to women, as if he would be looked down upon by women if he told her." Cuiniang said with a sweet smile, "But I don't know this.
Women are much more stable than you men when they encounter these difficulties."
"Then tell me, how can you be prudent?"
Cuiniang said: "I just believe that my husband will definitely find a way. Even if there is no way now, he will find a way after drinking the black-bone chicken and ginseng soup I made."
It must be said that Cuiniang is really a woman who understands men's hearts. Any man who meets her will be fascinated by her soul.
Luo Ao hugged Cuiniang in his arms, gently blew the hair around her ear, and whispered softly into her ear: "I feel a little swollen."
Cui Niang's ears went numb, and her fist hit Luo Ao's chest: "If you continue to be so immoral, I will leave."
"Let's go, where are you going!" As he said that, Luo Ao pulled up the weeping willow tree and hugged Cuiniang up.
"You put me down... you put me down, you... drank the soup, you... got cold after a while..."
Luo Ao found the happiest and most relaxing moment in Cuiniang in the past few days. He gasped for air and forgot about Gu Zhiyuan, Luo Lie and the person who borrowed the knife.
"Husband, would you like some soup to replenish your body?" Cui Niang said with a sweet smile.
Luo Ao smiled and said, "Do you think my husband needs some love?"
"Why, my husband no longer looks down on my concubine's craftsmanship."
Luo Ao laughed and said: "You, you, okay, bring the soup quickly." Looking at Cuiniang's twisting waist, he suddenly felt a trace of worry in his heart. Now Gu Zhiyuan is dead and Luo Lie is missing.
Zhao Hanguo of the Jiangzuo Dynasty forced him to raise an army to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty again. There were also rumors in the country about the person who borrowed swords. This heavy pressure really made it difficult for him to breathe.
Cui Niang brought the soup up and said, "My brows are furrowed again. Let's talk about it. Don't hold it in your heart."
Luo Ao didn't respond. He took a sip of soup and pondered his words: "Cui Niang, why do you think Luo Lie wanted to kill Gu Zhiyuan?"
Cui Niang sat on the edge of the window, put her elbows on her legs, and thought carefully: "Gu Zhiyuan is a popular person under you. He may be jealous. After all, none of the Luo family's relatives have a prominent position in the court.
, it’s normal for Gu Zhiyuan’s tree to attract the wind.”
Luo Ao shook his head: "There have been a lot of things like this in the world recently, including Monk Yuanji and Peng Zhen from the Beggar Clan. I think this matter is not simple. The mastermind behind it is targeting the entire world."
Cui Niang nodded: "Yes, that's right. What your husband said is true. If he says it this way, since he is here for the whole world, wouldn't the prophecy of the knife creditor be inaccurate? We Baiyun will never be the first.
Will one of them be destroyed? There are still so many small sects and sects."
Luo Ao looked worried and said: "What you said is what I am most worried about. Zhao Hanguo from Jiangzuo forced us to raise troops to join the Northern Expedition to Northern Qi. He opened his mouth to kill our 60,000 troops. Zhao Hanguo is too scheming. I am really worried about him.
They will use these 60,000 people as cannon fodder to weaken our strength."
Cui Niang frowned and said: "My husband said so, then Zhao Hanguo is really hateful. If these 60,000 soldiers and horses arrive at the front line without a capable person to lead them, I am afraid they will really be regarded as Jiang Zuo's pawns."
"Well, when Zhiyuan was still here, he could still command these 60,000 troops, but now that he is dead, I really can't think of anyone else in the country who can take on this job." Luo Ao frowned, "
Alas, there is no one available."
Cui Niang patted Luo Ao on the back and said comfortingly: "Husband, don't worry too much. A strong general comes from the army. How can you find someone who can take on important tasks without letting his subordinates train them? There are so many people in the Luo family, even if they don't have the talent to compare,
Those who are better than Gu Zhiyuan must be close to him."
"Sixty thousand people is not a small number. This is more than half of our family. It is too risky to use so many people to train a general." Luo Ao looked at Cui Niang and sighed, "Cui Niang, you go down, I
Be alone and quiet."
Cui Niang nodded, put on her robe and walked out of the room. As a considerate woman, she knew how not to upset men.
Seeing Cui Niang leaving, Luo Ao stood up and stood in the house. He neither sat nor paced, only stood quietly. Suddenly, a pigeon flew in from the window. He knew this pigeon, it was what Gu Zhiyuan used.
and the pigeon he used to report information.
He grabbed the dove and touched the small letter bag at his feet. There was actually letter paper!
"Jiangzuo urges me, Baiyun, to send troops in order to weaken my power in Baiyun. Jiangzuo has the ambition to dominate the world, so how can we let Baiyun develop? If the land is lost and people are lost, both people and land will be lost. Please lead the army to conquer personally."
