Chapter 516: A heartbeat
Peng Yingyu whispered to Zhang Wuji: "The person who spoke is called the drunken immortal Situ Qianzhong, this person is cynical, I heard that he does not apprentice or accept apprentices, does not belong to any sect and gang, he rarely does anything with people in his life, no one knows his details, and he speaks cynically, but often in a word." ”
I only heard seven or eight people in the audience follow and say: "This is reasonable, please take out the dragon slaying knife from the Shaolin faction and let everyone take a look." ”
Kong Zhi said slowly: "The dragon slaying knife is not in our temple, and the old man has never seen it in his life, I don't know if there is really such a knife in this world?"
When the heroes heard this, they immediately discussed, the square was noisy, and everyone at the meeting originally believed that this meeting must have a great deal to do with the Dragon Slayer Knife, but they didn't know that Kong Zhi actually denied it, and everyone was surprised.
Kong Zhi was followed by nine old monks, all wearing big red robes, and when the noisy voices of the group subsided a little, one of the nine monks stepped two steps and said loudly: "The dragon slaying knife was originally in Xie Xun's hands, but when the faction captured him, the knife was no longer by his side. The abbot of this temple is a big deal, and he has investigated it in detail, Xie Xun is stubborn and arrogant, and he refuses to tell the truth. Today's hero event, firstly, is to discuss how to deal with Xie Xun, and secondly, to ask the heroes about the whereabouts of the dragon slaying knife. ”
The group of heroes looked at each other, and no one could answer. The drunk and immortal Situ Qianzhong said in a strange manner: "There has been a saying in the martial arts for a hundred years: the supreme martial arts, the sword slays the dragon, commands the world, don't dare to disobey." In addition to the dragon slaying knife, there is also the Heavenly Sword. Originally, I heard that it was in the hands of the Emei faction, but after a battle in the Western Regions, it never ended. Although today's meeting is called the Heroes Conference, can't the heroes and females of the Emei faction come?"
When everyone heard the last sentence, they burst into laughter, and in the midst of the laughter, a monk who knew the guest reported loudly: "The leader of the Beggar Gang Shi Gang led the elders and disciples of the Beggar Gang to come." ”
When Zhang Wuji heard the three words of Shi Gang Leader, he was very surprised: "The beggar gang Shi Huolong Gang Leader has already died under Yuan Zhen's hands, why is there another Shi Gang Leader now?"
Sora Chi said, "Please!"
The beggar gang is the largest gang on the rivers and lakes, he personally greeted out, only to see a column of people walking quickly towards the square, about 150 people, all of them are ragged men, although the momentum of the beggar gang in recent years has not been as good as in the past, after all, the hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, still have great potential in the rivers and lakes, no one dares to despise them, most of them stand up.
The first were two elderly beggars, Zhang Wuji recognized them as the Elder of Gong and the Elder of Law Enforcement, and behind the two old beggars, there was an ugly girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with her nostrils facing the sky, and two big front teeth exposed in her wide mouth, which was Shi Hongshi, the daughter of Shi Huolong. She held the beggar gang leader's token to beat the dog stick, followed by Shi Hongshi's palm stick leader, palm bowl dragon head, followed by eight bags of elders, seven bags of disciples, and six bags of disciples. The beggar gang arrived this time, and the lowest rank was also a six-bag disciple.
Seeing that the person holding the dog beating stick was a girl, Kong Zhi hesitated, not knowing who the helper was and who he should talk to, so he had to salute and said vaguely: "The Shaolin monks welcome the beggars. ”
The beggars returned the salute with their fists, and the elder said: "The prehistoric gang leader of our gang has unfortunately returned to heaven, and the elders have decided to establish the daughter of the Shi gang leader, Shi Hongshi Shi girl, as the gang leader, and this one is the new gang leader of our gang. He pointed to Shi Hongshi.
Kong Zhi and Qunxiong were all stunned, thinking that there has always been a saying on the rivers and lakes: Mingjiao, Beggar Gang, Shaolin School, each sect is headed by Mingjiao, the world gang pushes the Beggar Gang as the respect, and the martial arts school takes the Shaolin School as the first. Mingjiao set up a young man in his twenties Zhang Wuji as the leader, which is already amazing, but the beggar gang even pushed such a little girl as the leader, if it wasn't from the mouth of the elder of the beggar gang, no one would believe it. Back then, Huang Rong took the girl as the leader of the beggar gang, although there was a precedent, but at that time, Huang Rong was several years older than the little girl in front of her.
Although Kong Zhi was surprised, he was not short of courtesy, and Heshi said: "Kong Zhi under the Shaolin Sect, see Shi Gang Master." ”
Shi Hongshi returned the salute, but he couldn't answer. Elder Chuangong said: "The leader of our gang is young, and all the help is temporarily represented by the brother and the law enforcement elder. The empty wisdom monk is a great virtue of his predecessors, and he doesn't dare to be polite. The two of them said a few words modestly.
The monk led the group of beggars into the wooden shed and sat down, and the beggars were numerous, and they began to sit down in the middle of the morning. Zhang Wuji saw that everyone in the group of beggars was wearing filial piety, their faces were full of grief and indignation, and there were even more things wriggling in the cloth bags on the backs of some disciples, obviously they came to do something, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, and said to Yang Xiao: "We have come to a group of good helpers. ”
I saw the two elders of Chuangong and Law Enforcement leading Shi Hongshi to the front of the Mingjiao shed, and the Chuangong elders clasped their fists and saluted and said: "Sect Leader Zhang, the Golden Lion King has fallen, and it has a great relationship with our gang, we would rather die today than atone for our crimes; The beggars are up and down, listening to Sect Leader Zhang's orders. ”
Zhang Wuji hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare." ”
Elder Chuangong's words were full of energy and spoke very loudly, obviously intending to let everyone in the square hear. After he finished a few words, the beggars helped all the disciples stand up together and said loudly: "I would like to follow the order of Sect Master Zhang of the Ming Sect to go to the soup and fight the fire. ”
The heroes are all in one place: "When did the beggar gang form a sworn friend with the Ming Sect?"
In addition to the seclusion that rarely walks in the rivers and lakes, everyone knows that the beggar gang and the Mingjiao have attacked and killed each other for many years, and the beggar gang participated in the siege of the Guangming Peak before the year, a bloody battle, both sides were killed and wounded, and finally the beggar gang who attacked the Guangming Peak was almost completely wiped out. At this moment, the Elder Chuangong openly claimed that the whole gang was under Zhang Wuji's orders, and said that he wanted to avenge the prehistoric gang leader, and no one was at a loss.
Elder Chuangong turned around and said loudly: "My beggar gang and the Shaolin faction have always had no grudges or hatreds, and our gang has always respected the Shaolin faction as the first major sect in martial arts. Our gang has been the leader of the prehistoric gang since the history of the fire dragon, and the good students admire the high morality of the four great monks of Shaolin, and they are enough to be exemplary models for those who learn martial arts. The prehistoric gang leader has been in seclusion for a long time, living quietly to recuperate, and has not returned to the people in the rivers and lakes for decades, but for some reason, he was poisoned by Shaolin monks. ”
When he said this, everyone in the square exclaimed in unison, and even Kong Zhi was unexpected. I only heard Elder Chuangong continue: "We are here today to ask the abbot for guidance before we are the heroes of the world. What did our prehistoric gang leader do to offend the Shaolin faction, so that after the Shaolin monk killed the prehistoric gang leader, he had to kill all the widows and orphans, and even Mrs. Shi couldn't save her life?"
Kong Zhiheshi said: "Amitabha, the Shi Gang Master unfortunately passed away, and the old man only heard the message for the first time at this moment. The elder kept saying that it was the disciple of our sect, but he was afraid that there would be a big misunderstanding, and asked the elder to explain the details of the time. ”
Elder Chuangong said: "The Shaolin faction has been the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts for thousands of years, how dare we slander it? ”
Kong Zhi said: "The elder commands, you should obey the order, I don't know which two people the elder wants to order to come out?"
Elder Chuangong said, "Yes......"
He could only say a word, and suddenly he opened his mouth and couldn't say any more. Kong Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed forward, grabbing his right wrist, only to find that his pulse had stopped. Kong Zhi was even more shocked and shouted, "Elder, Elder!"
When I looked at his face, I saw a fine black spot as big as a fragrant head in the center of his eyebrows, which turned out to be a secret weapon that was poisoned. Kong Zhi said loudly: "Heroes Mingjian, this beggar gang elder was killed by a poisonous secret weapon, and my Shaolin faction can never use such a ruthless secret weapon." ”
The beggar gang suddenly made a big uproar, and dozens of people rushed to the corpse of Elder Chuangong. The palm bowl faucet took out a magnet from his arms, put it in the center of the eyebrows of the elder of the Gong Transmission Sect, and sucked out a steel needle as thin as a cow's hair and only an inch long.
The elders of the beggar gang knew that what Kong Zhi said was true, such a vicious secret weapon, the decent Shaolin faction would never use it, but in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, someone actually sent a secret weapon to sneak attack, and no one could detect it, the strangeness of this matter is simply incredible. The law enforcement elders and others all thought that when the Elder Chuangong stood to the south, the hidden weapon must have been shot from the south, and the sun was shining to the south, and the Elder Chuangong was in a very angry mood, so that he did not have time to beware of such an extremely subtle hidden weapon.
The elders looked behind Kong Zhi angrily, only to see that the nine old monks wearing big red robes were all half-closed, standing with their eyebrows down, and the nine monks were followed by rows of yellow-clothed monks and gray-clothed monks, and it was impossible to tell who was plotting, but the murderer must be a Shaolin monk, and there was no suspicion.
The law enforcement elder laughed loudly, but tears rolled down his eyes: "Master Kongzhi also said that we have wronged the Shaolin faction, what do you have to say about the current matter?"
The head of the stick was the most anxious, and the iron rod in his hand was raised, and he shouted: "Today, I have a hard time with the Shaolin faction." ”
But hearing the chaotic sound of choking blades, the beggars took out their blades one after another and poured into the heart. Kong Zhi's face was miserable, he turned back to the Shaolin monks, and said slowly: "This temple has come from the ancestor of Bodhidharma to the west, built a foundation, and for thousands of years, the monks have practiced Buddhism diligently, and kept the precepts. Senior Brother Abbot and I have already seen through the world, how dare we fall in love with Hongchen again. ”
He looked at the faces of the monks one by one: "Who sent this poisonous needle? ”
None of the hundreds of Shaolin monks spoke, and some said, "Amitabha, sin, sin." ”
Zhang Wuji's heart moved, and he remembered one thing, judging from the death of the Elder Chuangong, the poison on the needle seemed to be from the poisonous insects in the Western Regions. The so-called heartbeat means that as soon as the poison of the worm body comes into contact with the hot blood, the heart of the poisoned person only beats once, and then stops. He had long known that Shi Huolong was killed by Yuan Zhen, and he knew that there were Yuan Zhen's henchmen lurking among the Shaolin monks, so he sent a needle to kill the elder of Chuan Gong to prevent him from saying Yuan Zhen's name. It's just that at that time, everyone looked at the elders, so that no one noticed who sent the needle.
The head of the stick said loudly: "Who is the murderer of the Shi gang leader, and the tens of thousands of disciples of the beggar gang all know. Do you really want to kill people and kill people? Unless you kill all the beggar disciples in the world, this monk who kills people is the true ......."
