Chapter 31:

Rectify the Beggars' Sect

People in the Jianghu


The next day, Luo Tianqiu and his party hurried off after breakfast. Before leaving, he took Luo Jiang and Lin Xiaofeng by the hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for worrying about all the things below. I'm leaving!"

They sent TianQiu out of the stronghold gate and said goodbye.

In the daytime, there are many pedestrians on the road. They can't use lightness skills to avoid shocking the world. They can only hurry to the east.

It is in midsummer. Although the weather is hot, it is the season when all kinds of grass spread and everything shines. We can only see verdant vegetation, green grass, and ripe fruits everywhere. They were six people, old and young, talking and laughing all the way. They were really full of wit. Only Long Ling felt that the beauty was not enough. It was not easy to have the opportunity to practice the "Shadowless Fantasy Wind" Lightness Skill, but these people were cautious and afraid of others' remarks, and they could not force them to use them. Therefore, they had to vent their nameless resentment on TianQiu. Either complain that he is walking fast or that he is walking too slowly.

Luo Tianchou just smiled, blindly obeyed her and let her have fun. Long Ling pointed to a big peach tree with many fruits and said to TianQiu:

"Brother TianQiu, you can pick some big peaches on the top and quench our thirst."

"The lower one is easy to get, but why do you want the upper one?"

"The peach on the top is big, sweet and thirsty!" Long Ling shook her body

According to her wishes, Tian Qiu used her lightness skills, which were as swift as a swallow flying across the ground, and picked many peaches on it.

The "shadowless wind" lightness skill was displayed by him. It hovered and danced on the peach tree. It was like a phoenix spreading its wings, a butterfly wearing flowers, and its body was free and easy. The audience was dumbfounded.

Li Dongping and his three older men were talking about the fate of the rich and the poor. When they saw TianQiu flying up the tree, they all stopped. At first, they saw that he was in a good mood. At last, they were attracted by his wonderful body method.

Zhang Wenxue looked at him affectionately, his heart was tender, and his eyes contained true feelings.

Long Ling danced with joy and shouted:

"Brother TianChou, pick more!" She said that the drunken man didn't mean to pick more wine. In fact, she wanted TianChou to use the "shadowless wind" lightness skill. She happened to study. They also couldn't bear to let TianQiu stay on the tree, so they made up their minds and let TianQiu eat peaches under the tree and go on the road.

When they came to a mountain road, it was deserted and there was no one else. Suddenly, a group of people stopped their way.

"I open the road, cut the tree, and leave the money to buy the road," said a man. The man was burly and strong, and looked like a Liangshan hero. Unfortunately, he did something unseemly.

Long Ling laughed and said, "Keep an account. I don't have any change."

Wen Xue also joked: "Buy road money! What buy road money? Walk one side in the middle of the road, you are so unreasonable."

"Fart!" the man said angrily, "I drive the road and cut the tree. If you don't leave the road money, you can't go there!"

Luo Tianchou looked forward and found that it was a few minions guarding the mountain, each holding a big knife, who were slowly rounding up. Luo Tianchou was not in a hurry to come forward. He wanted to see how the two little sisters got down.

"Do you want to do it?" Long Ling smiled.

"If you don't leave the money for the road, you will take your life!" shouted the minions. Although their tone was hard, they stopped. They just kept shouting and seemed to look at them with swords on their backs. They were calm and not easy to get along with. One of them, who was bold, stepped out of the crowd and threw a knife at Long Ling's head. Long Ling flashed to the side. She could not see how she worked. The man had fallen down and the knives were thrown together. The minions retreated in fear. Suddenly I heard a loud cry from behind.

"Which way of friend, you are outstanding, please leave a message."

"I had to leave the money to buy the road, but now I have to leave my mouth, but I don't want to leave it. What do you do?" Long Ling shouted angrily.

Luo Tianqiu saw that this man was short, with a green beard on his head. He was about forty or fifty years old, and his forehead was protruding, showing that his internal power was not weak.

The visitor listened to Long Ling's blunt words, and was stunned at the moment. His face was cold.

"Don't you want to rely on some martial arts to break into the mountains?"

"We just passed by," Zhang Wenxue said softly. "We have no intention of breaking into the mountain. Please show your respect!"

"If you don't rush the mountain, why point down our people!" the caller shouted. "You don't have long eyes!" Long Ling tilted her head and said in a shrill voice, "It was his first hand!"

"You are so rude. I must teach you a lesson today!" said the visitor angrily. As soon as the voice fell, a soft whip was already in the hand when shaking the hand. When waving the hand, the head of the whip pointed towards Longling's face, and the speed was very fast. I saw that the soft whip was so small that it had been swung straight.

There is a saying in martial arts: "The gun is afraid of being round, and the whip is afraid of being straight." The whip is straight. The real strength of the family is concentrated on the whip. The near is the gun, and the far is the whip. It is extremely powerful.

Long Ling didn't dare to be careless when she saw that he was coming. She jumped back a few feet. Avoid the coming situation, hold the sword in your hand, and swing the sword to cut off the head of the whip, aiming to cut off the head of the whip. The head of the whip seemed to have eyes. It turned back and then came to her waist.

Long Ling sees his whip blocking him and moves around her body. It seems very passive. Only close proximity forced him to use soft whip. So, with the right foot on the ground, the body deflects and follows the incoming trend, and the sword is cut off from the whip end. When the whip head turns back and the sword is close to the whip body, it cuts his five fingers quickly and incomparably. The opponent didn't expect his sword to be so fast. Unexpectedly, he was close to his hand holding the whip between the lightning and the firestone. He hurriedly retracted his hand and swung the whip round to circle the sword, but where it could circle, the sword was closely attached to his finger holding the whip. No matter how he circles. Turn, sweep, and play, use up, jump, jump, jump, and jump. The body method is light and agile, and can not be separated from the sword edge. It seems that his whip handle is a magnet to attract the sharp edge of the other side's long sword. He is in a hurry to kill him, and he will be worried about breaking his fingers when he sees three or five moves.

Suddenly I heard someone in the air chanting the name of Buddha.

"Wuliang Buddha, please be merciful under the sword, girl!" The voice was not too loud. It was sharp and piercing. It was clearly through the internal force. Everyone at the scene heard it clearly. Before the voice fell and the figure flashed, one person stood on the spot. With a crown on his head and a grey robe, he is an old Taoist who is more than 60 years old, with his hands together.

Long Ling only felt that an invisible force pushed her sword aside, and immediately lost sight of her aim. She knew that the real strength of this person's internal force had disappeared, and she quickly retreated.

Luo Tian Qiusheng was afraid that she would lose something. He jumped up and stood in the air. With a flick of his right hand, the real qi gathered in his palm. The Taoist priest suddenly felt that a strong vigorous qi pushed him back a step. Although his palms were really strong, the force was still moving forward like a huge wave, which could not be resisted by him. It just pushed him back a step, and his strength was gone. The Taoist priest was shocked. The man was in the air. Why was his strength so powerful? His internal power was very good.

At this time, Luo Tianqiu was standing in front of Long Ling and hugging his hands to salute the Taoist priest.

"Taoist Priest, you are welcome to be born late!"

The Taoist priest was surprised to see a young man standing in front of him. The child is only ten years old, and his martial arts are unpredictable. Now he announces a Buddhist name.

"Infinite Buddha, young Xia, where are you? I sincerely hope you can tell me."

"Xiao Ke Luo Tianqiu," said Luo Tianqiu Lang, "just now I was in a hurry. How offended I was. I hope you can forgive me!"

When the Taoist priest saw that the young man had high martial arts and good manners, he was very happy in his heart and immediately burst into laughter.

"Ha, young Xia, is it Luo Tianchou who defeated the Spring Dharma Protector of the Demon Sect in the" Danxin Stronghold "? It's too old to measure up. I hope you can forgive me!"

"I don't know how to call the Elder Fa taboo?" TianQiu asked.

The Taoist priest laughed again, "Ha, I am the Huashan Sect, and I am the one who calls Jiangchuan Taoist."

When Luo Tianqiu heard his call, he quickly bent his knees and said, "You deserve to die. Please forgive me, Shizu!" Tears poured down. Taoist Jiang Chuan was in a hurry, so he quickly picked him up.

"Why are you so?" Taoist Jiangchuan asked in surprise.

"The father's name is the source," said Tian Qiu.

Just thinking of the tragic death of my parents, I burst into tears.

"Where are your father and Luo Chunqiu now? I have been looking for them everywhere." Taoist Jiangchuan asked.

"They have been dead for eleven years!" Luo Tianqiu said in tears.

Taoist Jiangchuan looked up to the sky with a long sigh, and quickly brushed his sleeves to wipe away tears for TianQiu. TianQiu slowly settled down and killed his whole family by bandits of the Demon Sect. Shibo took him to hide in the deep mountains, and then told Shizu many details of the murder one by one. Taoist Jiangchuan was very sad and comforted TianQiu.

Only then did Long Ling realize that the Huashan Sect is the same as Luo Tianqiu.

"Well, it's all a family. It's the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple. Go up the mountain and have a rest." Taoist Jiangchuan turned around and said to everyone.

Everyone followed him up the mountain, and Luo Tianqiu introduced the five people to Shizu as he walked. "This little girl almost coaxed me! It would be difficult to distinguish if it weren't for her strange transformation and lightness skills!" Taoist Jiangchuan laughed.

"This little girl has been coaxing for months!" TianQiu laughed, and everyone laughed. Long Ling secretly twisted TianQiu.

"The doll is good at Kung Fu, and your uncle almost took her." Taoist Jiangchuan continued.

"He... Martial Uncle!" TianQiu said urgently.

His uncle has flown up the mountain to report the news. It turns out that Taoist Jiangchuan has three disciples: Long Chenjun, Luo Chunqiu, and Luo Siyuan.

This young apprentice is Han Qiwen, nicknamed "Soft Swordsman". He became famous all over the world with a soft whip. Unexpectedly, he nearly fell under Long Ling today. After graduation, he wandered in the Jianghu for many years and fell grass in Xiaolai Mountain. Just now, I heard from the minions that several Jianghu Xias came down the mountain to find out. At the beginning, I met the wayward and naughty girl Long Ling.

Taoist Jiangchuan likes to wander around because he has learned a set of internal mental skills and has been closed in Huashan for several months. After switching on and off, I learned that the eldest disciple Long Chenjun had been killed in order to resist the Demon Sect. He missed several disciples and went down the mountain to visit his granddaughter Long Ling. Who knows, I have been wandering the Jianghu for many years, but I can't find the second and third disciples. Only Han Qiwen, the "soft swordsman", was found. Today, I met Luo Tianchou, the great Xia who is famous in the Jianghu, and he is also his grandson. It's both happy and sad.

Seeing the girl Long Ling, he was deeply interested in her grandson and was overjoyed. But he didn't know that Long Ling was the daughter of his eldest apprentice Long Chenjun.

Climb over a hill and walk up the class road paved with bluestone to the top of the mountain. A row of buildings with stone and green tiles stood in the middle of which was very tall and magnificent, just like the main hall of the mountain fastness. Two people stood in front of the door to greet the crowd. Apparently, they had been treated as guests of honor on the mountain. The man on the left is Han Qiwen, and the man on the right is an old man in green. His age is about the same as that of Taoist Jiangchuan, but he is thin, tall and full of patches. Li Dongping laughed when he saw it.

"Hey hey, it's hard to meet old friends today. I didn't expect to see your brother here, ha ha!"

The thin old man stood up and bowed to Li Dongping with a long bow and said, "Yang Liuqi has seen the leader. How is the leader?"

Li Dongping laughed again and held the thin old man Yang Liuqi with both hands.

"Excuse me, excuse me! My guild leader has a guilty conscience. How are you, Elder Yang? Why are you here?" Elder Yang sighed "Alas", "Guild leader, it's hard to say a word, please talk in the hall."

Luo Tianqiu paid a visit to Martial Uncle Han Qiwen. The "Soft Swordsman" was very happy. He quickly took his nephew's hand and walked to the hall.

The banquet has already been arranged in the hall. Taoist Jiang Chuan and Luo Tianqiu, Long Ling, Zhang Wenxue, Han Qiwen and others have a seat, Yang Liuqi and Li Dongping, Jiang Hongfan, Su Jianghe and others have another seat, and the rest of the seats are accompanied by several small leaders of the mountain fastness.

Everyone was very happy and drank freely. Li Dongping and Elder Yang talked about the plot of being trapped in the "Jade Pearl Cave" and getting Luo Tianqiu out of danger. Elder Yang also narrated his story.

Since the leader disappeared, the "Beggars' Sect" has broken down. Zhao Sanjiao and a group of his close friends wanted to stand up for the leader of the guild. They were not convinced when they saw Sanbao. However, Zhao Sanjiao had "Demon Cult" people to support him, so the helpers couldn't help him, so they had to wander around.

Yang Chang is always the head of the "Beggars' Sect". Seeing that the head of the bowl is dead, he is very clear about his situation.

The old leader is missing. Zhao Sanjiao has no three treasures. If the leader of the twenty-eight generations of "Beggars' Sect", surnamed Zhao, is allowed to break the rules of the sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to settle down in the Jianghu in the future.

But public opposition is not good for us. Elder Liu died by openly opposing Zhao Sanjiao, the leader of Zhao Gang. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated by Zhao Sanjiao's gang.

Elder Yang thought about it. At this time, more than seven bags of elders in the gang left the "Beggars' Sect" in nine out of ten to save their strength. He left the "Beggars' Sect" after thinking about it.

On that day, I passed by the foot of the mountain and made friends with Han Qiwen without knowing each other. Then I fell grass on the mountain and became the second leader. He is also at ease, just worried about the survival of the "Beggars' Sect".

"It's really lucky to see the leader of the sect today as the 'blind god beggar'. The great fortune of the ancestors of Toledo Sect will not destroy me." Beggars' Sect ", ha ha!" Elder Yang laughed.

"Do you know about Kaifeng?"

"Of course," Elder Yang nodded, "I have a eyeliner in Kaifeng, and news keeps coming. There are fewer and fewer people following Zhao Sanjiao, especially after the 'Demon Sect' was defeated in the 'Danxin Stronghold'."

It turns out that in the Wulin of the Jianghu, it has been rumored that "Demon Sect" is a big sect that no one dares to provoke, and all sects are as afraid as tigers. Now it seems that some people dare to pluck hair from the tiger's head, so all sects are excited! It is also said that the leader of the gang is also in the "Danxin Stronghold". Zhao Sanjiao's gang used to have more than 500 people, but now there are only one or two hundred. The "Demon Cult" has no intention to intervene, so it has to let itself die.

Over there, Luo Tianqiu is also reporting Shizu's plan to wipe out the "Demon Sect".

"I have been wandering in the Jianghu for so many years." Taoist Jiangchuan said, "I heard that the bishop of the 'Demon Sect' was named Kunsatai, and his nickname was' vampire zombie '. He was a monster who killed people without blinking an eye. How about his martial arts, most people don't know very well. I only heard that his' Devil Blade' is unparalleled in the world, and that his' Blood Evil Skill 'is strange and unpredictable."

Luo Tianqiu told Shizu about the fact that he had sent people to the main altar of the "Demon Cult" in Yangjinshan.

"What is disturbing is how dangerous the 'Demon Sect' is, and whether the people sent can return all over?" TianQiu said. "Qiu Er is very worried. Since the person who goes is asking for his order, he has a certain chance of winning. He doesn't know the danger. How dare he go to the Jianghu if he is not a boatman. I want to go to Yangjin Mountain tomorrow." Taoist Jiangchuan laughed.

"Shizu, don't do it!" TianQiu shook his hands and said urgently.

"Why not?" Taoist Jiangchuan smiled as he looked at him.

"Shizu, if there is anything wrong," TianQiu is about to cry. Long Ling has never seen TianQiu so anxious.

"How can I be worthy of my uncle and father?"

"Shizu, why don't you wait for Great Xia Xu to come back?" Zhang Wenxue said gently: "At that time, your old man was well prepared and prepared!" Taoist Jiangchuan looked at her intently and thought: "The doll spoke with great discretion, and there was still some weight in his words. I can't see that he was young and thoughtful." He smiled.

"Girl, since I am well prepared, why should I go to explore? Besides, if I take a risk, Xu Fu can say that he is less surprised and more informed, which shortens the time of exploration, and can also avoid the worry of worrying about the grass and the snake. Why don't I kill two birds with one stone? Qiu Er's business is my business!"

"Shizu has a high opinion, Wen Xue is not thoughtful!" Wen Xue smiles.

"The next day, Luo Tianqiu and others continued to go on the road, adding another elder Yang, and the atmosphere on the road was more lively.

Taoist Jiangchuan went to Yangjinshan alone. Before leaving, Li Dongping told him the secret code of contact with Xu Fu.

Han Qiwen still stayed at Xiaolai Mountain as a backup.

Go upstream along the bank of the Yangtze River and take the Baidi City through Chengdu to Kaifeng. When we arrived at Zhongmou County, there were people from the "Beggars' Sect" on the way.

I found out that Zhao Sanjiao and his family were not in the city. Zhao Sanjiao set his headquarters in a landlord's manor in the suburb of Kaifeng, and seems to have made some moves recently. The specific situation is not clear to people below Zhao Sanjiao.

It seems that Zhao Sanjiao is not weak in mind. He is always on guard and worried about changes. He often sends people to the "Demon Cult" for help, but that is just to ask him not to act rashly

Luo Tianqiu and his family secretly live in a small hotel. Li Dongping and Elder Yang go to Kaifeng Branch at night. The branch helmsman, surnamed Yang, has a lot of friendship with Li and Yang. Elder Yang's eyeliner was specifically connected with him.

After dinner, Luo Tianqiu invited Jiang Hongfan to visit Zhao Sanjiao's manor. The two men changed into night clothes and told them to rest in the hotel. They were led by a disciple of the "Beggars' Sect" and rushed to the outskirts of Kaifeng.

This manor covers a large area. There are seven or eight feet high walls around it. Inside, the ancient trees are towering. Inside and outside the manor are covered with hidden piles.

The two of them climbed lightly and skilfully, with their bodies as light as smoke, and drifted to the eaves of the hall of the manor unconsciously. They hung the golden hook upside down and put their heads into the hall.

I saw more than ten people sitting cross-legged on the grass mat in the hall to discuss business. The people sitting on the mat were in their thirties with long beards and short moustaches. Luo Tianqiu knows that he is Zhao Sanjiao.

"Have all the people who went to contact the local branches come back?" Zhao Sanjiao asked.

"All have come back," said the next person, "but the situation is not very good. Some branches have no one, and some branches are unwilling. Only two branches have sent people."

"Didn't Helmsman Yang of Kaifeng Branch come?" Zhao Sanjiao asked, "Hum, the dog is still waiting for Li Dongping to come back. Why not even his branch?"

"He seems to be extremely wary of us!" said a man next to him. "He is always afraid of us carrying his nest."

"He should be aware of current affairs, huh!" Zhao Sanjiao snorted coldly. "If we want to stay here in Kaifeng, can we tolerate him?

Listen, everyone. From tomorrow on, all the disciples of the Beggars' Sect in Kaifeng, except our people, will not stay, or kill or detain them. Elder Wang, you are ready to take over the Kaifeng Branch. "

The middle-aged man in Xuanyi, sitting on his right side, nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

"When will the people of the Demon Sect arrive?" someone asked quietly behind him.

"They have come!" said Zhao Sanjiao in a loud voice. "They just didn't show up. They will help tomorrow."

Luo Tianqiu was stunned at the news, and he quickly and quietly observed the surrounding movement. Except for Jiang Hongfan's faint exhalation, there was nothing unusual. He suddenly realized that this was Zhao Sanjiao's bluff to cheer up the disciples in the gang. This man is really scheming. Even Luo Tianqiu was almost cheated.

Listen a little longer. It's all about the affairs in the gang. Luo Tianqiu said to Jiang Hongfan, "Let's go."

When they returned to the hotel, Li Dongping and Su Jianghe were in the room, waiting for them while drinking. There was also a 50-year-old man sitting next to them, who thought to be the Helmsman Yang of Kaifeng Branch.

Li Dongping watched them enter the room, got up quickly and introduced them with a smile. Sure enough, the person who came was Helmsman Yang. Luo Tianqiu and Jiang Hongfan both bowed their hands and smiled.

"It's not easy for Kaifeng Branch to deal with them for so many years!" they said in unison.

Indeed, Kaifeng Branch is the strongest branch in the "Beggars' Sect". In addition, Leader Yang has excellent martial arts skills and is resourceful. Zhao Sanjiao dare not offend him. He just tries to win him over. But Helmsman Yang didn't use it. He didn't eat it hard or soft. Zhao Sanjiao even deliberately tried to coax him to death, but he was found out by Helmsman Yang one by one. He secretly avoided the sharp edge, and formed a state of separation with Zhao Sanjiao

"They really can't trust Kaifeng Branch!" Luo Tianqiu smiled and said. He sat down and told the three people what he had just detected in detail. They couldn't help laughing.

"It's a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" Helmsman Yang laughed: "He has four or five hundred people, plus a few subordinate branches, which make up for one or two thousand people. But it's hard to say if anyone is willing to work for him. Nowadays, people are even more disheartened. Since the war of 'Danxin Stronghold', it is said that Leader Li has appeared in 'Danxin Stronghold', and Zhao Sanjiao has lost more than half of the people at the helm. "

"I expect that if he goes on like this, he will become a bare-handed commander. He has to jump to the wall in a hurry, fire and open the branch to stabilize the people!"

"How many people are there in Kaifeng Branch?" Jiang Hongfan asked.

"There are three or four hundred people in the Ming Dynasty gathered at the branch." Yang Rudder said, "Most of them are scattered and lurking on the ground around Kaifeng Mansion, with a total of two thousand people."

"Can Zhao Sanjiao know your real power?" Luo Tianqiu asked.

"He doesn't know," said Yang Rudder.

"He thought he didn't know," Luo Tianqiu nodded deeply. "If he knew your real power, he wouldn't come to encircle and annihilate Kaifeng Branch tomorrow."

"Will the people of Kaifeng Branch be gathered tomorrow?" Su Jianghe looked at TianQiu and said, "Surround the headquarters of Zhao Sanjiao and annihilate it at one stroke!"

"They are afraid that someone from the 'Demon Sect' will come to meet them!" Jiang Hongfan frowned.

"No!" Luo Tianqiu said with a smile, "listen to his nonsense. It's just that he encourages his subordinates to ambush several masters at most..."

The crowd did not pay attention to his hesitation, and was concentrating on drinking while deliberating on the specific measures for tomorrow. Finally, Luo Tianqiu told about his patrol around Chuang Tzu.

"Great Xia Jiang and I visited around Zhao Sanjiao's manor tonight and found that the place was quiet. There was a hill behind the manor with lush trees. I'm afraid there was a secret intention to connect with the manor."

"Great Xia Luo is so clever!" Helmsman Yang nodded repeatedly and said, "There is a secret road in the village that goes straight to the forest behind it, which is rarely known. There are four big trees around the exit. There are many weeds around it, which is hard to be found."

"Good!" Luo Tianqiu said solemnly, "Please ask Helmsman Yang to immediately gather all the people in Kaifeng Branch and surround the forest at the back of the mountain with a hundred people. Led by Great Xia Jiang and Great Xia Su, guard the trees and wait for exemption, the other half surround the manor, and the other half lurk around to guard against his reinforcements. Led by Helmsman Yang and Elder Yang, once you find reinforcements, immediately report to us." "The focus of this encirclement and annihilation is on Zhao Sanjiao and the remaining evils of the 'Demon Sect', and try to stop killing. Even Zhao Sanjiao is also the most difficult to catch alive. The disciples of the 'Beggars' Sect are benevolent and righteous. Once they kill, it will damage the reputation of the' Beggars' Sect. Once they succeed, they will immediately convene a meeting to announce the restoration of the old system of the 'Beggars' Sect, and the leader of the' Beggars' Sect 'will take charge of rectifying the affairs of the sect."

After that, I looked at everyone and saw that they all showed a look of admiration and approval. I was very happy.
