One of the two old beggars said: "Two old men from Xiyue, let's not compete today. We will go to you two for advice another day. Since the rightful master is here, we will go to him."
The fat old Taoist among the two old men in Xiyue snorted angrily: "Old beggar, if you want to cause trouble for our master, you must first get through our two brothers."
Xiao Jinyu looked at the two old beggars, then at the Xiyue Ersou, and asked the thin old Taoist: "Uncle, what is going on?"
The thin old Taoist smiled bitterly and said: "When Junior Brother Huangfu Song was alive, our Huashan Sect had a close relationship with the Beggar Clan, but after Junior Brother Huangfu Song passed away, we rarely had any contact with each other."
"They came here for your little formless magic skill. We two brothers wanted to persuade them to give up their thoughts and stop trying to take advantage of you, but in the end they took action without saying a few words."
The two red-bag elders of the Beggar Clan were very excited when they heard that the handsome young man in front of them was Xiao Jinyu, whom the gang leader was looking for. However, when they heard the second old man from Xiyue called Xiao Jinyu the leader, they felt that there must be something fishy.
Zhang Bolong, one of the two elders, thought to himself, "The man named Xiao has nothing to do with the Huashan Sect. Why did the Huashan Sect ask him to be the leader? What is the unknown secret in this?"
Zhang Bolong thought of this and said, "This must be Mr. Xiao. I wonder if I can lend a step to speak?"
Xue Taizhen's figure flashed, and he floated down from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor. His movement was extremely elegant. Xiao Jinyu and Wang Xueling were very close to each other. Aiwu and Wuxia also had some changes in their views on the Beggar Clan, and said immediately: "Of course."
The Ersou of Xiyue wanted to stop him, but Xue Taizhen said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, I'm afraid they won't dare to play any tricks." Zhang Bolong's face darkened when he heard this, but he didn't speak to contradict him.
Xue Taizhen has gained a great reputation in the world in recent years. Even the Seven Sons of Qingcheng, the Bodhidharma Academy of Shaolin Temple, and the head of Luohan Hall are all very courteous. Although the Beggar Gang is powerful, they do not dare to provoke Xue Taizhen easily. He turned around and walked to the inn with anger hidden in his chest.
outside.
Xiao Jinyu followed Zhang Bolong to a big tree. The autumnal equinox had passed, there was heavy dew at night, cold winds were blowing, and the crescent moon was covered by a large group of dark clouds, making the night darker and deeper.
Just when Zhang Bolong was about to speak, there was a loud sound in the air behind the tree, and a dozen cold arrows suddenly shot like lightning.
As soon as he heard the sound of breaking through the air, he knew that it was fired by a crossbow. Xiao Jinyu suddenly stood up, bent in the air, and suddenly rushed towards the launch point of the crossbow.
There was a flash of pale white light in the dark night, and a long sword stabbed at him diagonally. Xiao Jinyu flicked his left hand towards the sword that had been stabbed.
With a clang, the long sword was deflected. Xiao Jinyu then fired a hidden weapon. A copper coin with a square hole cut the sword holder's throat in an instant. At this time, the long sword from the left was slashed, and Xiao Jinyu flicked it with his left hand.
The man couldn't hold the knife, and the long knife fell from his hand and sank half a foot into the tree.
The man jumped back with a look of fear. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyu punched out another copper coin with a square hole. It was like lightning and directly cut the man's throat. The man covered his bleeding throat with both hands and his eyes widened.
He fell to the ground with fear on his face.
Seven or eight figures jumped out of the dark night and fled in several directions. These people knew that they had missed the target and would be destined to die if they stayed any longer, so they screamed in the wind. Xiao Jinyu saw these killers running around, but he hesitated first.
Which ones to hunt down?
When Xiao Jinyu was hesitating, he suddenly saw a figure chasing after him quickly. His light kung fu and body movements were as fast as lightning. In just a few snaps of his fingers, he heard screams coming one after another.
After a while, the screams suddenly stopped, and a crescent moon shrouded in dark clouds jumped out. Under the cold moonlight, Xue Taizhen's tall figure seemed to be walking on the wind.
Only then did Xiao Jinyu realize that it was her who had taken action and killed all the assassins who were hurriedly fleeing for their lives. Seeing her lightning-quick kung fu and her killing skills like chopping melons and vegetables, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and secretly felt lucky to be with her.
She is a friend rather than an enemy.
Xue Taizhen said: "Jinyu, you are not injured, are you?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "Thank you so much, Master, for coming to the rescue. The disciple is safe and sound."
Xue Taizhen said angrily: "Since the death of the three supreme elders of the Beggar Clan, the Beggar Clan's behavior has become more and more extreme, and it has resorted to such low-level methods."
The three supreme elders of the Beggar Clan refer to Huangfu Song, the "Dragon of the Western Mountains", Wei Yue, the "Crazy Beggar", and Che Chi, the "Drinking Beggar". These three are all top masters. Jiao Gu, the leader of the Beggar Clan, is their nephew.
The three different beggars in the Jianghu have all passed away now.
Although Xiao Jinyu wanted to defend the Beggar Gang, he felt that this matter was very strange. It was possible that someone else had framed the Beggar Gang, but he couldn't convince himself.
If Shi Qingqing and Han Chenggen hadn't intercepted him, he didn't believe that the Beggar Gang would do such a thing based on Bo Yuntian's reputation of knowing the righteousness of the Beggar Gang. But now he couldn't help but be suspicious and thought of his admiration for him.
Wang Xueling, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart and remained silent.
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and they saw that the two old men of Xiyue, Su Miaoli and others had already fought against the Beggar Clan. Su Miaoli stabbed out his long sword and forced more than ten members of the Beggar Clan to fight.
Everyone joined forces to fight against the enemy, but under such circumstances, Su Miaoli still had the upper hand.
Xiyue Ersou angrily faced off against the two elders of the Beggar Clan. The two elders' kung fu was slightly weaker than that of Xiyue Ersou. At this time, the two of them were distracted and were beaten hard by Huiyue Ersou.
Xiao Jinyu said with spring buds in his tongue: "Everyone, stop it." Everyone who was facing each other with swords stepped back and stopped.
Xiao Jinyu looked directly at the two elders of the Beggar Clan and said calmly: "What's your explanation?"
The two elders were a little frightened by what he saw. They felt that the eyes were as bright as stars on a frosty night, which made people dare not look directly at them. They couldn't help but their eyes flickered and they remained silent.
The fat old Taoist yelled: "Master's nephew, they are very suspicious. I think they want to seize the secret book. They know they can't steal it, so they secretly do it. Damn it, the Beggar Gang can't do this."
Su Miaoli nodded and said: "The old man is right, the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, and it has resorted to such low-level methods. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Xue Taizhen pretended to be angry and said: "Li'er, don't talk nonsense. There are all seniors and experts here. It's not your turn to speak here."
Su Miaoli was smart and wise. She smiled at her master's words and looked at Xiao Jinyu's jade-like face with a pair of watery eyes.
When the two elders of the Beggar Clan heard Xue Taizhen reprimanding Su Miaoli, they felt that their face had completely dropped. Zhang Bolong suddenly raised his head and said with emotion: "Master Xiao, I said that this matter was not caused by our gang. Can you believe me?"
?" Xiao Jinyu remained silent.
Zhang Bolong said sadly: "Forget it, we came here under orders to help. We don't want to be framed. Now we can't prove our innocence. For the sake of the reputation of our gang, I will risk my life to prove my innocence."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Bolong raised his eyebrow-level stick and smashed it against his Tianling Cap. Everyone in the Beggar Clan screamed in shock. Another elder of the Beggar Clan hurriedly reached out to grab the stick, but it was too late. Xiao Jinyu's body suddenly flashed, and with his right hand, he used the "Orchid Flow Point Hand"
"The brush hit the "Waiguan point" on his wrist. He grabbed it with his left hand and took the eyebrow-leveling stick into his hand.
Zhang Bolong was slightly startled, and suddenly felt his hands sinking. He looked down and saw that his eyebrow-leveling stick had been recovered. When he looked again, Xiao Jinyu was already standing in his original position, as if he had never moved.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: "I believe this matter was not caused by your gang, so you can leave."
Zhang Bolong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Master Xiao, for trusting us. Old Jing Hua Ding will report back to Gang Leader Jiao truthfully. When the truth about this matter comes to light, we can come to the door and explain it clearly to Master Xiao."
Zhang Bolong turned around again and said: "Master Xue, can you tell me the martial arts methods of these people of unknown origin?"
Xue Taizhen said calmly: "These rats have not gone through two rounds in my hands, and I don't know their martial arts skills."
Xue Taizhen's words were extremely conceited, but everyone felt that the name was worthy of the name. Although these killers were all good at martial arts, they were not impressed when they met Xue Taizhen, who was an outstanding martial artist, and they were all killed on the spot.
Zhang Bolong was in a decadent mood, and after sighing, he said goodbye, and all the members of the Beggar Clan disappeared into the vast night like eggplants beaten by frost.
Xiao Jinyu, Xue Taizhen and others turned around and returned to the inn. After going upstairs, Xue Taizhen called Xiao Jinyu, who was about to rest, into her guest room.
Xue Taizhen has been a monk for nearly twenty years. The Taoist sect emphasizes forgetting love, purity and self-cultivation. She has long lost the lustful thoughts of worldly people. She regards Xiao Jinyu as her junior, so even though a man and a woman live in the same room, they do not
The cumbersome etiquette that protects men and women.
Under the not-so-bright light, Xue Taizhen meditated for a long time. She tapped her jade fingers on the table and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something difficult to solve. Xiao Jinyu sat down and was very quiet, for fear of disturbing Xue Taizhen's thoughts.
Su Miaoli was young, sleepy, and suffered minor injuries, so she went back to the guest room to rest. At this time, the only sound left in the two-room-sized guest room was the crisp sound of fingers tapping on the table.
Xue Taizhen slowly said: "Master Xiao."
Xiao Jinyu hurriedly said: "Master, you should call me Jinyu, I'm not used to calling you master."
Xue Taizhen looked at him seriously and said with a smile: "This can't be done. You are already the head of Huashan and belong to the same six sects as me. I must not lose my etiquette. Even if I don't call you the head, I still have to call you.
Master Xiao is the one."
Xiao Jinyu said sadly: "Both of my parents died when I was young, and I have lost the love and care of my parents since then. Somehow, when I see you, the leader, I feel like I am seeing my mother."
A blush suddenly appeared on Xue Taizhen's fair face. Although she became a monk due to family changes and emotional setbacks, she had never married and had always kept herself clean, so she was still a virgin.
If someone else had said these words, she would have felt that they were humiliating her, and she would definitely kill them. However, these words came from Xiao Jinyu's mouth, which made her feel both cordial and mixed.
As soon as Xiao Jinyu's words came out, he felt a little embarrassed, and he quickly bowed and said: "Disciple is disrespectful and talks nonsense. I hope the master will not blame you."
Xue Taizhen held up his elbow and said gently: "Jinyu, you can call me aunt in private from now on." Xiao Jinyu's face relaxed and he said softly, "Nephew, meet aunt."
Xiao Jinyu was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, and Xue Taizhen's mother was also born in the Xiao family of Lanling. To elaborate, Xue Taizhen's mother was Xiao Jinyu's father's distant cousin, so it was not bad for Xue Taizhen to let Xiao Jinyu call her aunt.
