Chapter 12 I am a frivolous guest of the world · XII
Elder Xu died.
This incident caused a great uproar in the Beggars' Gang. Xiao Hao was furious and vowed to find the thief and avenge Elder Xu.
However, rumors were spreading throughout the Beggars' Gang and even in the martial arts world that Elder Xu was killed by Xiao Feng, who was determined to find out who killed his father.
Bullshit! Such an obvious frame-up, do they really think they are all brainless!
Those lower-level disciples could not see it, but the leaders of the Beggars' Gang were very clear about it.
Elder Xu's whole body was icy and his face was frosted. He must have been injured by an extremely cold poison. Xiao Feng had practiced yang and strong kung fu since he was a child, so it was impossible for him to do it.
What made Xiao Hao angry was that someone dared to take action under his nose. Although the Luoyang headquarters was short of manpower recently and most of them were sent to support the north, it was not a good place to intrude. With him in charge here, someone was able to sneak in and kill the most respected elder without anyone noticing. It was simply a slap in his face and showed that he did not take the Beggars' Gang seriously!
Xiao Hao and the other elders surrounded Elder Xu's body, their faces turned cold, and they asked in a deep voice: "Elders, from what you have seen, who killed Elder Xu?"
Elder Song was injured in the battle with Ding Chunqiu, and has not yet fully recovered. He coughed twice and said: "This kind of cold palm power, I am ignorant and can't see it."
Elder Chen has always been familiar with poisonous things. He stared at it for a long time and said hesitantly: "Master, I heard that there is a strange thing called ice silkworm in the Kunlun Mountains. Anyone bitten will be frozen and die. It is somewhat similar to Elder Xu."
Xiao Hao looked at Elder Xu's body carefully and had some clues in his mind. Elder Chen reminded him that there is indeed such a person in Tianlong, who has the skill of ice silkworm poison palm integrated with Yijinjing. But he was very confused. That man had no grudge against Elder Xu. His elder brother had a grudge against him because he had caused a scene at the Heroes Gathering in Xianzhuang. If he had killed Elder Xu to frame Xiao Feng, he should have used other means to prevent the corpse from being used as a handle. Was he doing this out of personal vengeance or as a demonstration? Or was he doing it for some other purpose?
"Do the elders know who You Tanzhi is?" Xiao Hao asked tentatively.
Several elders looked at each other and shook their heads. Elder Xi asked suspiciously, "Is he the youngest son of You Ju, one of the two heroes of the You family?"
How could Xiao Hao remember who this man's ancestor was, so he didn't answer and said directly, "He is the young master of Juxian Manor."
Elder Xi nodded and said, "I heard that this man is unlearned and has nothing to do all day. He disappeared after the battle of Juxian Manor."
Xiao Hao pondered for a moment. It seems that few people in the martial arts world know about You Tanzhi. He is not famous in the martial arts world. I am afraid that he has just mastered such a miraculous skill as Ice Silkworm Poison Palm. Combined with Ah Zi who he met a few days ago, Xiao Hao felt that this matter was most likely done by him.
When Elder Song heard Xiao Hao suddenly mention You Tanzhi, he asked, "What have you thought of, boss?"
Since they didn't know that You Tanzhi had learned powerful martial arts, then Xiao Hao naturally shouldn't know about it, so it would be difficult to explain if he brought it up at this time.
Xiao Hao hesitated for a moment before saying, "My falcon found several corpses that were somewhat similar to yours while foraging a few days ago. It seemed that someone was practicing this kung fu. I asked it about that person's characteristics, and it flattened a small mound beside it. I didn't understand what it meant at first, but now I remember it."
Elder Wu was greatly surprised: "The gang's bird is so smart!"
Elder Chen glanced at him and sneered: "Don't be surprised! The birds raised by the gang are naturally extraordinary! How can they be ordinary beasts!"
Xiao Hao: "..." Well, Bai Feng, you'd better take the blame first.
"To be honest, it sounds like there is indeed some connection." Elder Song pondered, "But his martial arts skills are mediocre, and he has no grudges against Elder Xu, so how could he succeed? And why did he do such a cruel thing?"
Xiao Hao said distressedly, "This is exactly what I'm wondering. Maybe he had some other adventure and mastered advanced martial arts. But as for Elder Xu's death, I really can't think of his motive."
They were discussing in the house when a little beggar came running in from the door. A few days ago, Xiao Hao saw that he was very agile and was fine after vomiting after being carried by him for so long, so he promoted him to be a messenger disciple by his side. But he is always so flustered when something happens, which is really a little lacking.
"Master! Elders!" He quickly saluted to the people in the room and said, "A disciple from the Daren branch reported that the Xingxiu Sect has been acting strangely recently. I just intercepted a letter from the Xingxiu Sect to Gusu Murong. I dare not delay and immediately send it to you and the elders!"
Xiao Hao was stunned when he heard this: "Xingxiu Sect? Shouldn't that group of people be dispersed long ago?"
The disciple explained, "It should have been so, but after old monster Ding died, a girl of sixteen or seventeen took over the Xingxiu Sect. I heard that she is very capable, and now the Xingxiu Sect is completely managed by her."
Xiao Hao knew that the person must be Ah Zi. He took the letter and checked it with the elders:
"...Xingxiu Sect has now united with Funiu Sect, Wuliangjian Sect, Penglai Sect, and Qingcheng Sect to gather in Shaolin on the first day of next month to seek advanced martial arts for the people of the world. After moving the Kongzang Sutra Pavilion, it will be burned down to prevent Shaolin from being arrogant. Shaolin has a deep accumulation, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. Gusu Murong is a contemporary talent. If we can do something together, the heroes of the world will definitely bow down to him."
Xiao Hao couldn't understand it. How could this little girl A Zi dare to attack Shaolin? Did her sister just let her do whatever she wanted?
Looking at the wording and sentence structure of this letter, it seems like it is for the sake of the martial arts world, but it is still a lowly plan to steal other people's things. A Zi can't write such a righteous letter. I don't know which master of Xingxiu Sect is causing trouble.
Elder Xi was very confused and asked, "The Xingxiu Sect has a bad reputation in the martial arts world. We severely damaged its vitality a few days ago, and there are still sects that join them in making trouble?"
Xiao Hao snorted coldly, "Who in the world doesn't want to learn top-notch martial arts secrets? These people are under the banner of bringing martial arts to the people of the world, but in fact they are blinded by greed."
Elder Chen said, "What the gang leader said is right . I didn't expect that Gusu Murong is such a hypocritical gentleman that he is entangled with the Xingxiu Sect.
" "A Zi's martial arts are not high, and the Xingxiu Sect is a group of flatterers. Where do they get the confidence to act like this?" Xiao Hao took the letter and read it over and over again. He had a bad feeling in his heart, thinking that he had missed something.
The little beggar thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that the Xingxiu Sect has gained a master who is very powerful in Kung Fu and is very much loved by the new leader."
Xiao Hao figured it out instantly. Yes, there must be a perpetrator for every grievance. This person must be You Tanzhi!
Although he didn't know what his purpose was, he had to take care of this matter!
He turned to the little disciple and ordered, "You give orders to all branches to keep a close eye on the movements of the Xingxiu Sect. Once you know where they are, report to me immediately. If I'm right, I'm afraid I've found Elder Xu's enemy."
Several elders did not understand his move and looked puzzled. Xiao Hao could not explain it to them, so he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Elders, follow me to seek revenge on Xingxiu Sect!"
The four elders nodded in agreement, and they admired him even more.
Look! This is their clever leader! The future of the Beggars' Gang is bright!
Xiao Hao then added, "Arrange a few more disciples to inform Lingjiu Palace, Dali Duan Clan, and Xiaoyao Sect of this matter urgently, and ask them to rush to Shaolin with the Beggars' Gang. In addition, secretly inform Shaolin of this matter and ask them to deal with it as soon as possible."
The disciple nodded and did it immediately.
*
The first day of August, Shaoshi Mountain.
The moonlight was dancing, and everything was silent.
The lights in the Sutra Library were bright, and a petite girl in night clothes was lying under the window frame, waiting for an opportunity to move.
She leaped forward, and two nails pierced her heart, killing the guard at the door. She then climbed into the Sutra Library.
The Sutra Library had a vast collection of books. Buddhist scriptures, martial arts, and secrets of various schools of thought were arranged in different categories on large and small bookshelves. The endless mountains of books attracted people's souls and made them overjoyed.
Ah Zi had never seen so many books before. She flipped through this and looked at that, but she couldn't tell whether they were good or bad. She just felt that she could not move so many books by herself. The man surnamed Quan said that if there was no one guarding here, she should imitate the sound of insects and call three times in a row; if there was someone guarding it, she should imitate the meow of wild cats. Ah Zi walked around the Sutra Library and saw that it was empty, so she imitated the sound of insects to send a message to Quan Guanqing and others.
After receiving the message, many martial artists emerged from the night in all directions of the Sutra Library. They were agile and moved very lightly, and soon gathered in front of the Sutra Library.
"Today's righteous deeds will surely become a great story of restoring the Central Plains martial arts world. Quan would like to thank you in advance!" Led by Quan Guanqing, on his right were the Penglai Sect's Zhu Baokun and his group, on his right were the Qingcheng Sect's Sima Lin and his group, followed by the Funiu Sect and the Wuliangjian Sect, and standing side by side with him was Murong Fu and his group.
The Penglai Sect and the Qingcheng Sect had a blood feud in their early years. They once went to Yanziyuan in Suzhou to confront each other. They were able to find out the truth only after Wang Yuyan pointed it out. Therefore, although the two sects did not confront each other, they still gave face to Suzhou Murong because Murong Fu stepped in.
Murong Fu said to Quan Guanqing, "Protector Quan is very wise. Shaolin has collected countless peerless martial arts over the years, but has no intention of sharing. Now we are helping the heroes of the world to obtain the classics, which is a good thing."
Quan Guanqing smiled and said, "I don't deserve such praise from Nan Murong! Although our actions are not very bright, we do have the intention of benefiting the martial arts world. If our fellow martial artists do not understand our efforts in the future, I am willing to bear the blame."
After they exchanged greetings, they entered the Sutra Library. The dazzling classics made these people with ulterior motives stare and intoxicated.
Everyone was so absorbed in practicing their martial arts that they suddenly heard an old man's sigh. They all stopped what they were doing and looked around.
An old monk in plain clothes walked out of the Sutra Library, chanting Buddhist mantras and saying to everyone, "All donors came to Shaolin tonight and I should have welcomed you. But I didn't expect you to be so greedy. I'm deeply saddened."
Everyone was shocked. Murong Fu asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
The old monk put his hands together, bowed and said, "I'm ashamed. I'm just a servant monk who does odd jobs." He looked serious, not pretending. Then he smiled and said to everyone, "You have come from afar, why don't you go to the main hall to pay your respects first?"
At this time, countless torches suddenly lit up around the Sutra Library. In addition to the Shaolin monks, there were also many people from the martial arts world who surrounded the place, led by the Beggar Gang.
Xiao Hao drank his wine intermittently, walked out of the crowd, and called out to the map:
"Friends who have come from afar, since we have the opportunity to gather together in Shaoshi Mountain, why don't we come together to enjoy the beautiful scenery?"
The author has something to say: In the original novel, Elder Xu and Bai Shijing were jealous of each other and were killed by Bai Shijing [This disrespectful old man was also Kang Min's subordinate [Well, let's let him go upright here...]
You may have also discovered the secret of the chapter list...
Well... I... have a bit of... obsessive-compulsive disorder (=/////=)
so when I write, I will pay more attention to the number of words and so on...
It's harmless when reading the text. Anyway, the plot is smooth and there is nothing wrong with it, right [Hey
