Chapter 90: Six Palms
After speaking, Zhen Yingying did not wait for Feng Suyin to answer. directly grabbed Chen Hanyu's arm and pulled it in another direction, and said at the same time: "Hanyu, let's go over there......"
"Stop!" Feng Suyin's body moved, blocking the two of them again, only to see her staring at Zhen Yingying coldly, and said word by word: "Let go of him!"
Zhen Yingying's eyes flickered with coldness, and suddenly her arm moved, "Brush!" The long sword came out of its sheath with a sound, pointing directly at the door of the sealed Yin. And Feng Suyin was also not to be outdone, her right hand touched her waist, and a short and delicate dagger appeared in her hand, straight towards Zhen Yingying's sword.
"Stop!"
At the moment when the two female blades were about to touch, a figure flashed in front of them, and Chen Hanyu had already appeared between them. grabbed both hands behind his back, and actually clamped Zhen Yingying and Feng Suyin's weapons at the same time, and then gently pushed, pushing them both to take a step back.
"Don't fight...... Chen Hanyu said expressionlessly, holding the two girls with both hands.
Just now, the two girls suddenly made a move, which naturally attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings. Those people in the rivers and lakes consciously gave up an open space for the three of them to confront each other, and at the same time they all pointed at Chen Hanyu and them.
With a cold snort, Feng Suyin inserted the dagger back into his waist. She first glanced at Chen Hanyu, and then glanced at Zhen Yingying on the other side. I saw that she quickly turned around and squeezed out of the crowd again. Seeing this, Zhen Yingying didn't say anything, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and didn't do anything else.
The people in the surrounding rivers and lakes saw that there was nothing to look at, so they all turned back and continued to pay attention to the movements on the stage. Chen Hanyu saw Zhen Yingying standing there alone, as if she was a little sulky, she couldn't help but walk up to her and chuckled: "It's so stingy, it's not like you." ”
Seeing that Chen Hanyu saw through his little trick at a glance, Zhen Yingying snorted, turned to stare into Chen Hanyu's eyes and asked, "What is the relationship between you and that demon girl?"
"A friend," Chen Hanyu replied simply, and then laughed again, "You shouldn't hurt another friend for the sake of one friend!"
"But she's a member of the Demon Cult, and she's so close to you, I'm afraid she's trying to get to you. Zhen Yingying's words revealed a hint of concern.
Chen Hanyu smiled slightly: "Yingying, shouldn't your view of good and evil be so rigid?"
Without waiting for Zhen Yingying to answer, Chen Hanyu said again, "Those who are righteous may not be good people, and those who are evil may not be bad people. We have all experienced so much right and wrong on the rivers and lakes, and we should be able to understand that good and evil are not in the background of identity, but in people's hearts. ”
Chen Hanyu's words made Zhen Yingying stunned. Naturally, she wouldn't know that Chen Hanyu could say such a profound truth, because he had read too many novels in modern times, and his knowledge was naturally better than that of their contemporaries. Even if you don't fully empathize, it won't be too difficult to understand some of the ideas. Otherwise, just based on his experience in the past few years, he can see through the rights and wrongs of the world, and he won't believe the ghosts when he says it.
"You seem to ...... Know what it looks like to know a lot. Zhen Yingying's voice became a little hesitant, and she couldn't digest what Chen Hanyu said for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is for our eight elders to vote for two candidates. Fang Chengjun's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
As soon as he said this, he turned around and walked towards the other seven elders, and then stood with them.
Fang Chengjun is now the acting leader of the Beggar Gang, but in fact, he has another identity, that is, the Law Enforcement Elder, one of the eight Nine Bag Elders of the Beggar Gang, whose status is only below the gang leader and the Elder Chuangong. As for why Fang Chengjun served as the acting helper, there was such a saying on the rivers and lakes before, saying that after Pang Rentong's death, according to the rules, Yizhong, the highest-ranking Gonggong elder, should have been appointed as the acting helper. However, Yi Zhong seemed to be unwell all the time and could not take on such a heavy task, so this burden could only fall on Fang Chengjun. And Fang Chengjun seems to have lived up to expectations, quickly quelled the chaos of the beggar gang in a very short period of time, and then held such a gang leader election meeting.
Voting soon began, and the six elders quickly divided into two teams, three people each, who stood behind Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei respectively. Judging from the situation at this time, Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei were still on par in this game, so everyone focused their attention on Fang Chengjun and Yi Zhong, waiting for them to make a final decision.
Fang Chengjun looked left and right at the situation on both sides, and smiled at Yi Zhong, who was still sitting in the center, and said, "Elder Yi, they have finished choosing, just waiting for you and me." I don't know if Elder Yi needs Fang Mou's support, so I will send you to vote first. ”
When Fang Chengjun said this, many people in the rivers and lakes nodded secretly, with approval in their eyes. After all, with Fang Chengjun's current identity, it can be said that he is on an equal footing with Yizhong. But he did not show any arrogance, and he was still respectful to Yi Zhong, and he was completely gentlemanly.
"No need!" Yi Zhong didn't reply, but replied coldly.
The huge contrast between the attitudes of the two made the people in the rivers and lakes below show strange looks. Many people actually don't know Yi Zhong, after all, as the elder of the beggar gang, his main task is to protect the beggar gang's exercise books, and he rarely comes out to walk the rivers and lakes under normal circumstances. And Yi Zhong's cold attitude towards Fang Chengjun should be caused by his own withdrawn character.
The corners of Chen Hanyu's eyes shrank, and he seemed to see a strange look flashing in Fang Chengjun's eyes when he looked at Yi Zhong. This gave him a strange feeling, as if all this in front of him was not as simple as it seemed to him.
Fang Chengjun smiled slightly, and didn't seem to mind Yi Zhong's indifferent attitude. turned around and summoned a five-bag disciple, explained something in his ear, and then said loudly to the people in the rivers and lakes below: "Since this is the case, Fang Mou will not let you wait, take a step to make a stand!" After speaking, he turned around slightly and walked behind Wen Youbei, it seems that he supports Wen Youbei.
After Fang Chengjun stood firm, everyone looked at Yi Zhong, the only one on the stage who did not choose a position. The expressions on everyone's faces are different, some are impatient, some are disdainful, anyway, they basically think that Yi Zhong is relying on his high position and power, and he is here to hang everyone's appetite.
Yi Zhong seemed to be a little distracted at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were erratic. Just when everyone was waiting in a panic and the scene was already cold to a node, Yi Zhong suddenly held on to his chair and slowly stood up. Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Yi Zhong turned around directly, raised his feet in the direction of the stage, and walked towards the stage tremblingly.
This was unexpected, and the scene suddenly became a little. I saw that Fang Chengjun's face suddenly sank, and he walked quickly to Yi Zhong, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said calmly: "Elder Yi, this is a major matter for our beggar gang, and I ask you to make a decision." ”
Seeing Fang Chengjun stopped in front of him, Yi Zhong stared coldly into his eyes for a long time. I saw the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!" Then, he no longer ignored Fang Chengjun, his steps trembled, and he walked directly in front of Fang Chengjun, like bypassing a stone blocking the way.
Fang Chengjun's face flashed with coldness, then he turned around and said to the people in the rivers and lakes below: "I'm sorry, Elder Yi didn't have a good temper when he came in, so I made you laugh." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Fang Chengjun said again: "Since Elder Yi didn't vote, according to the rules, it can be regarded as abstention." Then in the voting of this link, Wen Youbei won!"
Listening to Fang Chengjun's decision, Chen Hanyu felt a little helpless. Just now, Wen Youbei scored two points in the first link, and three points in the second link, for a total of five points, which is half of the points. If he wins one more point in the third link of the competition, the position of the gang leader will be in hand.
Although Chen Hanyu doesn't like Geng Zheng's conformism, at least he is a decent gentleman. If a villain like Wen Youbei is allowed to serve as the leader of the beggar gang, it is really hard to imagine what direction the beggar gang will develop.
However, in the current situation, he is also powerless. Unless in the third link, Geng Zheng can completely defeat Wen Youbei, then there will still be a glimmer of life. Otherwise, as the leader of the beggar gang, he Geng Zheng may no longer have hope.
"Then next, is the last part of the election of the beggar gang leader - the competition. Ask both candidates to be prepared. Fang Chengjun finished announcing these last few words, and waved his sleeves back. The other six elders gave up their promises, and the seven of them walked down the stone platform together. Only Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei were left, standing quietly on both sides of the stone platform, silently confronting each other.
The aura of slaughter suddenly spread from the stone platform. Some of the low-ranking beggar gang disciples and people in the rivers and lakes couldn't help but take a few steps back, so as not to be injured by the vigor that burst out when the two were fighting.
"It seems that you and I are going to decide the winner in a competition after all......" Wen Youbei looked at Geng Zheng with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Geng Zheng stood quietly on the stage, his face was as usual, and he didn't look moved by Wen Youbei's words at all.
Wen Youbei saw that Geng Zheng didn't speak, shrugged his shoulders, grinned and continued: "Actually, Senior Nephew Geng, there is no need to fight to the death between you and me. We can work hand in hand and work together for the development of the beggars......"
"Enough!" Geng Zheng suddenly shouted.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Geng Zheng, who was originally calm and calm, suddenly turned extremely red. I saw that his hands were clenched into fists, the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed, and his hands were trembling, obviously angry to the extreme. I only heard him say again and again: "You have used all means to collude with the evil sect, brutalize the disciples in the gang, and even plotted against Elder Yi! You are not worthy of being the leader of the beggar gang at all!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, which surprised many people in the rivers and lakes. It's not that what Geng Zheng said is so appalling, but with the probing ability of so many of their sects, they have never heard of these things at all.
Wen Youbei frowned, his face showed a serious look, and he only heard him say: "Senior nephew Geng, spreading rumors and saying bad things about people without evidence is for slander and slander. ”
"Slander?" Geng Zheng looked at Wen Youbei coldly, "You are touching your conscience and telling me how Elder Yi treats you on weekdays, and how you repay him." ”
"Geng Zheng!" Wen Youbei's face sank, "I don't care if you're using any agitation method." If you want to disturb my mind in such a way, I advise you to give up this plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being an uncle. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two on stage, Chen Hanyu was secretly puzzled in his heart. From his understanding of Geng Zheng, this kind of dull-headed and dumb person should not use such a method as agitation when fighting with others. However, judging from the news of his six doors, he has not heard of Wen Youbei's collusion and murder of his fellow disciples. That is, there is no evidence at all for the points that Geng Zheng just said.
"Then what's nonsense, let's do it!" Geng Zheng didn't seem to want to explain anything more. With a loud roar, his feet kicked hard, and the whole person rose into the air, rushing towards Wen Youbei from top to bottom.
"Eighteen palms of dragon descending!" Chen Hanyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw Geng Zheng's first move, which was powerful and powerful, and it was one of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending that the dragon was in the sky. Since he came to this world, Chen Hanyu has seen countless martial arts schools and internal skills that he has never heard of, but there are also many stunts that he has heard of in the original world, and even household names. Obviously, the Beggar Gang's "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending" is one of the beggars' stunts that he has long been familiar with.
"It seems that this world, after all, has a certain connection with the world I am in. Chen Hanyu thought secretly in his heart.
And at this moment of lightning, Chen Hanyu's heart suddenly jumped. Subconsciously, he quickly grabbed Zhen Yingying beside him with one hand, and at the same time took half a step forward under his feet, raised his hand and waved a force to disperse the remaining energy that was shooting towards him in front of him.
"So powerful?" Chen Hanyu glanced at the two people who were fighting on the stage, and was shocked.
Just now, Geng Zheng used the eighteen palms of the dragon to attack the opponent, and Wen Youbei seemed to greet him with a palm. The momentum of his palm seems to be inferior to the eighteen palms of dragon descending, but the strength is not weaker than the eighteen palms of the beggar gang. The moment the two of them palmed each other, they were full of strength, shaking the stone pattern ornaments around the table into pieces, and at the same time, many people in the rivers and lakes below who had not reached the top of the realm took a few steps back. Even a master like Chen Hanyu, in the face of the residual strength just now, at least he had to resist, and he didn't dare to say that he would use his true qi to protect his body, so even if he was not injured, he would definitely be very embarrassed.
"Oh my God, is this Wen Youbei's mastery - Eight Desolations and Six Palms?" said a man in the rivers and lakes on the side in shock.
"Eh~" Chen Hanyu heard what the man said, and his heart was surprised, "Eight desolations and six palms? What the hell is this, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Don't you know?" Chen Hanyu's self-talk was listened to by Zhen Yingying, "It seems that just a year or two ago, Wen Youbei learned a very powerful palm technique somewhere, called 'Eight Desolations and Six Palms', and its power is even comparable to the beggar gang's town gang stunt dragon descending eighteen palms." ”
Zhen Yingying then told Chen Hanyu about Wen Youbei's record in this set of palms, it seems that Wen Youbei has not used this palm many times, and the most famous one is to save the two young disciples of the righteous path from the hands of three evil masters. However, because Wen Youbei was reluctant to explain the origin of this palm, and there was no rule in the beggar gang that he was not allowed to practice the foreign exercises. Therefore, Pang Ren at that time turned a blind eye and let the matter slowly fade into oblivion.
And today, this set of palm techniques appeared again in Wen Youbei's hands. Only this time, he was no longer facing a person in the evil way, but his own teacher and nephew.
"Bang! bang!"
The sound of the clash of palms was endless, and the two figures were back and forth, and they had already exchanged more than ten moves on the stage. The intensity of the four rays seemed to become more intense each time, causing the onlookers to gradually retreat.
Chen Hanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see that although Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei only had the realm of the top grade, with their fierce palms, this actual combat strength could not be the top of the grade, or even the existence of a master of the top grade.
"A year or two ago, sure enough, it was when I was not in the Central Plains......" Thinking of the sudden appearance of the "Eight Desolations and Six Palms", Chen Hanyu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that this time when he goes back to the six doors, he still has to find an opportunity to study the gossip anecdotes on the rivers and lakes in the past three years......
