Gu Chaoci knew that Hong Qigong was really angry, but he asked himself if he was not of Qiao Feng's character. If he wanted to attack in a group, then he would not talk about martial ethics or martial arts rules.
And when something happens, I feel angry, but I can't think too much, like a tortoise that can't get out. But I can't say these words clearly. I just spread my hands and ask without answering.
Hong Qigong also understood Gu Chaoci's character, and when he saw him like this, he also had a good understanding of his thoughts. He couldn't help but sigh, and most of the anger in his heart was relieved.
After all, he was young, and when he was successful in martial arts, he never accepted others when he challenged others. When Gu Chaoci was weak, his martial arts was so high that it was even better than when he was young, so naturally he was even more crazy.
The two were silent for a while, and Hong Qigong sighed: "Boy, don't blame the old beggar for talking too much. I can't go on the road of the world, and I hope you won't turn a deaf ear to all my words."
Just as the car in front of me overturned, so did the car behind me. It was clearly pointing to Pingchuan Road, but the good words were turned into bad words."
Gu Chaoci said with a smile: "Master, what's going on? How emotional are you? My reputation has been demonized now. When people in the world mention the title of "The Dangerous Scholar", they are frightened and out of their minds, but they don't dare to..."
Hong Qigong said: "Boy, stop being so crazy! You have a reason for your own desire, but in the eyes of others, it is just for no reason, relying on martial arts to go against various martial arts sects.
Think about it, you are ruthless in dealing with both gangsters and white gangsters. You are also the leader of the Beggar Clan, and you have a high position. If there are people with ulterior motives, they will cause chaos in the martial arts world, not to mention making you a public enemy of the martial arts world.
Apart from anything else, you killed the four great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult, how could they just let it go? This sect is an outsider sect, and all they want to do is rebel. Although your martial arts skills are high, you must also know that it is easy to hide with open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows.
!”
"Since you have won the hearts and minds of the Beggar Clan by defeating Qiu Qianren, then do your best. If someone really wants to harm you, with the Beggar Clan, at least they will be well-informed and able to deal with it."
Gu Chaoci smiled and said: "Master, during this period of time, I have also thought about it and thought about it. In fact, I am still suitable to be a loner. In the past few days, I will wait for an opportunity to pass on the position of gang leader to others!"
After hearing this, Hong Qigong couldn't help but be stunned, and then said seriously: "Ci'er, it's wrong for you to think like this. The most important promise in our martial arts world is that we must keep our words and be resolute in our actions, so as to not lose our chivalrous demeanor."
If you believe in a word, you will not hesitate to kill yourself. How can you go back on your promise and make yourself rich by breaking your promise?
Could it be that you are tired of being a verbose beggar and want to give up the job?"
Gu Chaoci smiled bitterly and said: "Master is right in his accusation, but the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. What I did was indeed against the rules of chivalry. I also know it very well. How can I do this?
Gang leader? Instead of causing a mess later and tarnishing Master's name, why not be more self-aware and keep a low profile?"
After hearing this, Hong Qigong also had a look on his face, stroking his short beard and Ji Yan said: "The fact that you have such concerns means that it is not hopeless!"
With a solemn expression, he said: "However, the talent of the Beggar Clan is withering. Although there are many disciples and suitable candidates, not even half of them can be found. If not, I would not pass on the sect leader to you.
Could it be that you, Xu Jing'er and Ronger, have long wanted to pass on the position of deputy gang leader to them? Are you really just taking over the position of gang leader just to beg for your martial arts skills?"
After hearing this, Gu Chaoci felt quite embarrassed and helpless. He blushed and said with a smile: "Master, the reputation of this tricky scholar was spread by Junior Sister Huang. I can't change it now even if I want to.
Then it is appropriate for her to suffer a little for our Beggar Clan.
I can temporarily take over the position of gang leader, and it is absolutely my duty to resolve matters that require my efforts!
As for those trivial matters, I think it's appropriate for her and Junior Brother Guo to handle them! Just think of them as compensation for me!
And since she has received a position in the Beggar Clan, she has to stay here, right? She can also cook for you from time to time, isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?"
How could Hong Qigong not know his intentions and ignore him intentionally? The temptation was too great. He, a gluttonous guest, had long been conquered by Huang Rong's cooking skills. He waved his hand and said: "Come on, come on, even if I owe you money in my previous life."
It’s yours, just do as you say!”
Gu Chaoci was immediately elated and said with a smile: "Master, the brothers of the Beggar Clan haven't left yet. I will go to Xuanyuan Terrace to make an announcement! I asked Master to come and sit in. After all, it is unprecedented for our sect to appoint two deputy leaders at once.
It’s the first time!”
Hong Qigong stretched out his hand and gave him a violent shudder, and said with consternation: "You also know that this is the first time that the Beggar Clan has established two deputy leaders?"
However, he laughed and said: "But you, my dear, have also begged me. Let me see if you are still crazy?"
Gu Chaoci touched his head and said with a smile: "No matter how crazy I am, I don't dare to act crazy in front of the master. Isn't that just playing a big sword in front of Master Guan, and saying 'Confucius said the poem cloud' dropped in front of the door of the sage Confucius?"
Hong Qigong was able to show off his dignity and authority in front of this disciple who did not take anyone seriously. This was enough for his wish. He said with a smile: "Boy, I have punished you enough today. Look.
For Girl Mu’s sake, that’s what we’ll do!”
At this time, Gu Chaoci began to understand the true meaning of "being strong without desire" and "the happiest thing without seeking". The most painful and embarrassing thing in the world is "asking for help". No wonder Hong Qigong would rather become a useless person than go to the south to seek help.
Emperor, I really can’t bear to lose face.
He walked out of the hall and immediately gave an order to Elder Li to summon the disciples who had not yet left Yuezhou to gather at Xuanyuan Terrace to announce something important.
Guo Jing, Huang Rong had almost accepted Gu Chaoci's invitation, and Hong Qigong had already spoken out, so he had no choice but to agree.
Half an hour later, Gu, Hong, Guo, Huang, and Mu rushed to Xuanyuan Terrace.
At this moment, the disciples of the Beggar Clan were sitting on the floor in front of the stage. When they saw the new and old sect leaders arriving, they all stood up to greet them, shouting: "Master Hong" with thunderous shouts and cheers. Only when they saw Hong Qigong with their own eyes did they realize that yesterday was really
Fooled.
Hong Qigong walked slowly onto the stage and only said a few polite words. He also said that he was old and could not handle the affairs of the gang. All the disciples of the Beggar Clan burst into tears.
Gu Chaoci and others saw that he had such prestige, no wonder the world respected him.
In the end, Gu Chaoci slowly walked onto the stage, slightly arching his hands, and the beggars also cheered and cheered. He had just taken over as the leader of the gang last night. He was not as kind as Hong Qigong, but his martial arts skills were strong and he had the power of Hong Qigong. Everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Chaoci announced Guo Jing and Huang Rong as the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan. Everyone in the Beggar Clan also knew that these two people were also direct disciples of Hong Qigong. Moreover, they had dealt with Ouyang Ke together with Li Sheng and others, so naturally they had no objection and started fighting with the two.
congratulate.
By this time, Gu Chaoci had already sent an order to Zhike's disciples, who had given them wine and food at a reasonable price, and had a big banquet under the Xuanyuan Terrace.
According to the rules of the Beggar Clan, the beggars must sit on the floor when eating. The good food and dishes are also smashed to pieces, like scraps of soup, to show their true nature as beggars, but the richness is still better than that of the rich and powerful.
We continued drinking until the sun faded, and the red sun reflected on the water of Dongting Lake was really shining, and the scenery was wonderful and beautiful. Everyone watched it drunkenly, and couldn't help but cheer.
In the evening, a small banquet was held at Gu Chaoci's residence. Hong Qigong, Mu Nianci, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong were all present.
Gu Chaoci picked up the wine glass and said: "Master, I have already ordered the disciples in the gang to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Yideng. I will get up tomorrow and go to Tiezhang Mountain in western Hunan to ask the Iron Palm Gang to help in the search.
Let’s go to the Dali Palace on the way, maybe the current emperor…”
Huang Rong suddenly remembered something and said with a suspicious look on her face: "Brother, is that Iron Palm Mountain the headquarters of the Iron Palm Gang?"
Gu Chaoci nodded and said: "Yes, Qiu Qianren told me that from here to the west, Changde, Chenzhou, up the Yuanjiang River, between Luxi and Chenxi, there is a high mountain shaped like five points pointing to the sky, which is the Iron Mountain.
It’s Palm Mountain. Their Iron Palm Gang lives there!”
Guo Jing glanced at Huang Rong and said, "Rong'er, the Iron Palm Gang is stationed in Iron Palm Mountain. Is there anything wrong?"
Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly: "Brother Jing, let me ask you, the painting your father gave you was soaked by the rain. What words came out through it?"
Guo Jing scratched his head and said, "Is it the painting with General Han Shizhong's inscription? Those words are incomplete, and nothing can be seen."
Huang Rong smiled and said: "Then don't you think about it?"
Guo Jing knew that he couldn't think of anything, and even if he came up with something, it would never be as clear as Huang Rong's. He hurriedly said: "Good Ronger, please don't embarrass me. You must have figured it out. Tell everyone quickly."
After hearing these words, Huang Rong was angry and funny. She dipped her fingers in the wine, wrote the four lines under the table, and said: "The missing word in the first line must be the word '武', and together it becomes '武'"
There are four characters in Mu's suicide note. I couldn't guess the second line at first, but it will be easy to tell my senior brother. It's either the character for 'mountain' or the character for 'peak'."
Guo Jing murmured: "Wu Mu's suicide note is in Tiezhang Mountain." He immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, what are the next two sentences?"
Huang Rong said with a smile: "You don't have to think about it yourself, you prefer to urge others. If you say that the Iron Palm Mountain is shaped like five fingers, then the third sentence is probably the word 'middle finger under the peak'."
Guo Jing clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, yes, Ronger, you are so smart. The fourth sentence, the fourth sentence!"
Huang Rong muttered: "I just can't think of this sentence. The second...stanza, the second...stanza." With her hair slightly raised on the side of her head, she said, "I can't think of it!"
Gu Chaoci said: "It should be the second knuckle."
He stretched out his palm and said: "Since Iron Palm Mountain is shaped like a finger and has a middle finger peak, shouldn't it also have three knuckles?"
Huang Rong suddenly understood, clapped her hands and said: "What Senior Brother said makes sense, let's inquire about Master Yideng's whereabouts and get back Wu Mu's suicide note along the way!"
Hong Qigong waved his hand and said: "The country has been weak for a long time, and the people are even more miserable. In comparison, my personal gains and losses are insignificant. You are dedicated to getting this matter done, and don't let Grandpa Yue's military book fall into place."
In the hands of the gold thief!"
After hearing his righteous words, several people felt their hearts trembling and accepted the order in unison.
The next morning, Guo Jing and Huang Rong rode to lead the eagle. Gu Chaoci also picked up a fine snow-white horse from the beggar gang's helmsman. This horse had a frosty mane and was flying in the wind. It was tall and long-legged, and its horse was extraordinary. Compared with Guo Jing's
Even if it is not as good as a BMW with Chinese blood, it is not much different.
He and Mu Nianci also rode together. The four of them headed west, passed Changde, passed Taoyuan, and descended to Yuanling. They arrived at Huxi in more than ten days. When asked where Tiezhang Mountain was, everyone shook their heads and didn't know.
Gu Chaoci actually had little interest in Wu Mu's suicide note. The Song Dynasty was weak, so how could it be saved by a military book? He was only interested in the general outline of the "Nine Yin Manual" because that was the real
His "Nine Yin Magic Skill" not only helped Hong Qigong, but was also of great use to himself. Therefore, he just wanted to come here to find Ying Gu and learn the whereabouts of the Southern Emperor.
In their hurry, they couldn't find out the whereabouts of "Iron Palm Mountain", and several people were disappointed. Gu Chaoci then said to Guo Jing and Huang Rong: "Junior brother and younger sister, let's investigate separately. Whoever finds Iron Palm Mountain can act on their own. There is no need to wait.
The other party! Anyway, in my eyes, finding Master Yideng is the most important thing."
Along the way, he discussed martial arts with Guo Jing and asked him again about the Sanskrit outline of the Nine Yin Manual.
Fortunately he asked, because the second volume of his Nine Yin Manual was obtained from Mei Chaofeng, which was written silently by Huang Rong's mother. There were no errors or omissions in other places, except that the general outline was too convoluted. No matter how smart Huang Rong's mother was,
After reading it once, you have to memorize it all. It is inevitable that there will be some errors and omissions. Guo Jing's Nine Yin Sutra was obtained from Zhou Botong and is the authentic original version, so naturally there are no errors or omissions.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong also knew that the senior brother was not interested in military books at all, and he also said that since he wanted to get the books from the Iron Palm Gang, he could just steal them. There was no need to follow the rules of the world and come to visit the mountain to pay homage, so he naturally agreed.
After the four of them separated, Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci saw that it was getting late, so they found a place to stay and stayed in a small inn.
In the evening, Gu Chaoci inquired about Gu Ying's person and took out a lot of money. The waiter didn't know who she was, so he had to give up and prepare to inquire again the next day.
The next morning, Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci were on the road again. As soon as they left the town, Gu Chaoci suddenly reined in his horse and whispered to himself: "Why is there the sound of weapons striking each other?"
Mu Nianci's internal strength was far inferior to him. When he heard what he said, he listened attentively for a long time, then looked confused and sighed: "When I'm with you, I feel like I'm deaf!"
Gu Chaoci laughed and thought: "To ask Ying Gu, it seems that I have to ask people in the world," so he grabbed his horse and ran towards the right.
After a moment, he saw a forest on the right with many small black spots. The horse ran for another moment, getting closer and closer to the small black spots, and Mu Nianci gradually saw the outline clearly.
I saw a group of people gathered in front of the woods beside the road, and suddenly I heard a sharp shout: "Stay away from me. If you dare to follow me again, don't blame me for being rude!" This crisp and sweet sound of scolding started from
Will float out from the crowd.
The two of them felt very familiar. Mu Nianci was stunned and said, "It seems to be her. Let's go over there and have a look."
As she was about to ride over, Gu Chaoci pushed her down and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look first and then talk!"
Mu Nianci chuckled and said, "Everyone hopes that a hero will save a beautiful girl and show off his skills to win their heart. But it's better for you to avoid them like a snake and a scorpion!"
Gu Chaoci smiled and said nothing.
Yes, it's her, the abandoned disciple Li Mochou from the ancient tomb.
They both heard the sound and recognized it. But Gu Chaoci felt a kind of fear in his heart towards this woman.
If you kill him, that would be burning the harp and boiling the crane, which is a disgrace to the scenery and a waste of the Creator's hard work. If you want to keep it in the house, you are afraid that it will unlock its ability to kill without blinking an eye and plot against you in your sleep. Therefore, it is correct to stay away from it.
I didn't expect to meet her here.
Gu Chaoci looked around, tied the horse aside, hugged Mu Nianci, jumped to the top of a big tree, and flew along the treetops from the air. He arrived in front of a few people and was not disturbed by any
people discovered.
The two of them looked down from a high position, and saw Li Mochou dressed in emerald green, with hair all over her hair, fluttering in the wind, and she looked as if she was about to fly. She was as delicate as a flower, and extremely beautiful, but on her delicate face, there was
Covered with a layer of evil spirit.
Gu Chaoci was stunned for a moment. When he saw a young man in the crowd wearing white brocade clothes and very luxurious decorations, he instantly understood that Li Mochou was in trouble again.
Well, he dared to bully a young woman in broad daylight. It seemed that the dozens of strong and strong men holding weapons next to him were all his subordinates. They must not be good people.
When Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci saw this scene, they looked at each other and laughed at the same time. They both thought: "This is a scene where a bad boy teases a good girl, but this Li Mochou is a rose with thorns.
If you don’t do it well, someone will die!”
At this time, the man in white gave some instructions to a follower beside him. The follower responded, turned his head and smiled dryly at Li Mochou and said: "Girl, what can we say, our young master, we have also helped you and are with you."
I have retreated from a powerful enemy, and now I am just asking you your name and where you live, so why is this so difficult?"
Li Mochou said coldly: "Is this——?
It’s hard to explain at the moment, so I think it’s better for you, the young owner of the village, to ask his mother!”
Everyone present, including Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci, looked blank at the same time. Do you think Li Mochou has another connection with this young master?
The young master's eyes narrowed, his brows raised and he asked, "How do you say that?"
Li Mochou snorted coldly and said, "Because your father calls me aunt, I am your aunt."
In an instant, there was an uproar and a frenzy was set off. They knew clearly that Master Xiao Xiao was wrong, but they couldn't hold it back.
"shut up!"
The young master shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder. Everyone's laughter was like being cut by a knife, and suddenly stopped, and a pair of pairs of stunned eyes looked at the young master blankly.
He saw him angrily saying: "Girl, are you making fun of me, Jiangnan Lujiazhuang? I thought that I, Lu Zhanyuan, first helped you fight off the enemies and treated you with courtesy. I never thought that you would be so rude. If you hadn't today
An explanation is absolutely impossible!"
As he spoke, he fished it out with his backhand, and with a clang, he took out a single sword. The blade was three feet and six inches long. The light was as cold as water. It was a good sword. He shook it up and down, and a strong wind immediately surged up.
Li Mochou smiled coldly and said: "Jiangnan Lujiazhuang has such a great reputation? Who knew that the young owner of the village is so invisible, aren't you afraid of losing the reputation of your ancestors?
I still have the nerve to say anything about helping me fight off my enemies. Haha, did I ask you to help me? Without you, what can those people do to me?
Lu Zhanyuan, you and I know what you are thinking. I will make it clear that I am not interested in you, so stop pestering me, or I will be ruthless!"
When Gu Chaoci heard the words "Lu Zhanyuan", he thought to himself: "Isn't this the hero who provoked Li Mochou and changed his temperament drastically?
Why does it seem that she is very bored with this person? In this situation, can the two of them have emotional entanglements in the future?
Is it so magical?
Is it because of himself that he caused the butterfly effect, or is his love life already bumpy and this is the original trajectory?"
