Chapter 221: The Main Gate (Part II)
"The inheritance beyond the Outer Eight Gates?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi seemed to think of something, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, he vaguely remembered that this name seemed to be very familiar, but it was too old, and his memory was already a little vague.
With Miao Liuzhi's memories, the dusty memories of the past came to mind like a river that opened the floodgates, but it was when the master was on his deathbed, lying on the hospital bed and explaining his last words.
"Little Liuzi, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master to see the day when the thieves will be unified."
One day at dusk more than 60 years ago, the life of a generation of strange people in the rivers and lakes Jiang Yishou will also come to an end.
"Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely fulfill this wish of yours in his lifetime!"
Miao Liuzhi, who knelt down in front of the hospital bed, was already in his twenties at this time, and he had already made a great name in Shanghai.
After getting the news that Jiang Yishou was critically ill, he hurried home, and when he saw the withered master, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and knelt in front of the bed and cried.
Miao Liuzhi is a native of the Northeast, originally just an orphan wandering in the people, was brought back to Jiangnan from Kanto by Jiang Yishou, and was awarded the thief stunt, in his heart, Jiang Yishou is both a master and a father, and his feelings are extremely deep.
"You...... You can't. ”
After hearing Miao Liuzhi's words, Jiang waved his hand with difficulty and said, "Little Liuzi, I know that you are filial, but you have a talent for stealing skills, but in kung fu, you are far inferior to that rebel......
Speaking of this, Jiang Yishou's words were interrupted by a violent cough, although he did not finish speaking. But Miao Liuzhi already knew what the master meant.
The thief door is not only a thief, there are many branches, Miao Liuzhi can be dominant in stealing, but if he wants to impress those bandit beards who crisscross the white mountains and black waters, he is powerless.
Seeing the disappointed look on Jiang Yishou's face, Miao Liu's fingers were like a knife. knelt down and kowtowed heavily, and said, "Master, don't worry, I will first unify the Jiangnan thief gate, and then slowly develop to the north!" ”
"That's right, that's what providence is."
After coughing for a while, a trace of flushing appeared on Jiang Yishou's face, and he said: "After the chaos, there will be great governance, and those in power will definitely crack down on the various Jianghu sects, unless someone from the main sect appears." Otherwise, it might as well be scattered and scattered, and maybe leave some inheritance for the rivers and lakes......"
"Master, what is the main gate?" Miao Liuzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang started with the rivers and lakes, and then killed the people in the rivers and lakes. Leaving a legacy, this is the main line. ”
Jiang Yishou sighed: "It's just after the death of that master." The eight gates outside the rivers and lakes have fallen apart again, except for the Qing court that once gathered when they entered the customs, they have never heard of the descendants of the main gate for hundreds of years......"
The main gate has a heritage, and each of the eight gates outside the rivers and lakes also has its own inheritance, even if the thief door has been divided into two factions for hundreds of years. But the inheritance has never been broken.
Jiang Yishou is the authentic descendant of the thief door, and only the owner and descendant of each door can know about the main door, and now that he is about to die, Jiang Yishou told this secret to his apprentice.
"Oh my God. How can anyone dominate the outer eight gates? ”
After hearing Jiang Yishou's words, Miao Liuzhi was shocked, he was not a rookie who had just come out of the rivers and lakes, and naturally knew that the Shili of the eight gates outside the rivers and lakes was so big that it almost penetrated into all industries, and the far-reaching influence was unimaginable to Miao Liuzhi.
If there is really someone who can dominate the outer eight gates, then his status in the rivers and lakes is equivalent to the emperor in the court, combining the power and wealth of the world.
"Master, is the heir of the main sect really that powerful?"
Miao Liuzhi heard it with a stirring heart, if he could find the person from the main gate, let alone unify the door, it would not be impossible to unify the eight outer gates.
"Back then, that master kept all the core inheritances of the Outer Eight Gates in the main gate, do you say it's powerful?"
Jiang Yishou showed a gloomy look on his face, "But the main gate has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, maybe the inheritance has already been broken, this is the misfortune of my outer eight gates!" ”
"Unwilling...... I'm not reconciled!! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yi's breathing became short, and when he wanted to say more, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, his eyes widened, and his originally sitting body fell heavily on the bed.
"Master!" Miao Liuzhi let out a cry of sorrow, and when he helped his master up, he found that Jiang Yishou had no breath at all.
"You...... Is it the heir of the main door? ”
As the scenes in his memory surfaced in his mind, Miao Liuzhi slowly opened his eyes, and an excited look appeared on his face.
"Exactly, my master is the main gate of the Outer Eight Sects......
Qin Feng did not deny that time has passed, and under the current regime, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to unify the outer eight gates, even if the Sanfeng Patriarch is afraid of rebirth, he is powerless.
Therefore, the current heir of the main gate no longer has the aura of the past, and Qin Feng is not afraid to tell him directly, because he still wants to know more things from Miao Liuzhi.
"Master's words are true......"
Looking at Qin Feng, Miao Liuzhi, who was already in the last years of the wind candle, sighed: "At such an age, you can practice the thief's stunt to be superb, if you are not the heir of the main sect, who can do it?" ”
Originally, some things that couldn't be explained, after learning Qin Feng's identity, Miao Liuzhi had completely figured it out, and there was no doubt about the master's words in his heart, it seemed that the lost skills of the outer eight sects were indeed in the main gate.
"I also worshipped under the master by chance, and I only dabbled in the skills of the eight external sects."
After hearing Miao Liuzhi's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but have a smile on his face, he was able to master those lost stunts of the Outer Eight Sects, talent was of course the main reason, but the more important thing was the ancient jade inheritance that Qin Feng obtained.
On the occasion of Zaiyu's death, Qin Feng obtained a complete inheritance of the Outer Eight Sects from the ancient jade, and since then. In the past, some of the methods that Qin Feng couldn't use no matter how hard he practiced in the past actually became a matter of course, and there was no longer any hindrance.
Moreover, Qin Feng's physical flexibility and cultivation techniques have also made significant progress, and as time goes by, the knowledge in his mind is gradually integrating with his body.
So. Qin Feng has all the achievements he has today, and the mysterious inheritance is a very important factor, of course, these are not enough to tell outsiders.
"If it wasn't for the Japanese planes that made trouble, maybe a lot of things would have changed." Thinking of the encounter with Zaiyu more than 60 years ago, Miao Liuzhi only felt that the world was impermanent, and there was nothing more than this in life.
"The main gate has always been unpopular, so it is rarely revealed."
Qin Feng was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. He opened his mouth and said: "When the foreign enemy invaded, Master had the intention of unifying the Outer Eight Gates to resist the Japanese, but he was too urgent, and it backfired......"
"Yes, if the ghost sees the sorrow, the seniors can already know my master."
Miao Liuzhi's crutches paused heavily on the ground, shook his head and said, "With Master's ability and the various exercises mastered by his predecessors, maybe he could unify the outer eight sects back then." ”
"That's right, Miao Lao. Why did Jiang seniors quit the rivers and lakes back then? ”
After hearing Miao Liuzhi's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but say, "Senior Jiang should have only been in his forties at that time, right?" It would have been back then. Why do you want to hide from the rivers and lakes? ”
Jiang Yishou withdrew from the rivers and lakes in the heyday, this was the biggest mystery case on the rivers and lakes before the liberation, and even many people didn't know whether Jiang Yishou was dead or alive, and now that he met Jiang Yishou's apprentice, Qin Feng naturally wanted to ask for clarification.
"You are the descendant of the main lineage, and we have a good relationship with each other. I can tell you! ”
Miao Liuzhi sighed, this matter had been hidden in his heart for decades, and he had never mentioned it to anyone, even among the so many disciples he had accepted, none of them knew Miao Liuzhi's master lineage.
"My master was the only descendant of the southern sect of thieves in the late Qing Dynasty. He is gifted and intelligent, not only has he learned the art of stealing, such as digging graves and robbing graves, he knows everything about boxing, and he has made a great reputation in 20 years......"
Speaking of this, Miao Liuzhi's eyes showed a trace of hatred, and then said: "It's just that the master is unlucky, that senior brother of mine misbehaved, and after being dealt with by the master, he was resentful, and he ...... He actually put poison in Master's wine......
If it weren't for Master's superb cultivation, I am afraid that he would have died at that time, but even if the Master forced out the toxins in his body later, the whole person would have been abolished, and he could only lie in bed all year round......"
Two lines of tears flowed in Miao Liuzhi's cloudy old eyes, in order to chase and kill his senior brother, he traveled all over the country, but Miao Liuzhi's kung fu was not good, and he almost died at the hands of his senior brother twice.
"How dare you kill a teacher? It's simply intolerable, who is he and what is his name? ”
Qin Feng was furious when he heard this, and slapped the stone table in front of him heavily, and a shallow palm print suddenly appeared on the smooth and hard stone surface.
"Brother Qin, good kung fu!"
Seeing Qin Feng's palm, Miao Liuzhi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and said: "I have always disdained to mention that person all these years, since Brother Qin asked, I will not hide it, I was born in Yanzimen......"
"Swallow Gate? It turns out that Jiang Yishou is actually from the vein of Yunzhongyan? I know, your senior brother is Yanzi Li San, right? ”
After hearing Miao Liuzhi's words, Qin Feng's eyes showed a sudden look, as for the senior brother who killed the master that Miao Liuzhi said, he also understood who it was.
In the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a thief on the rivers and lakes, called Yunzhong Yan, who founded the Swallow Gate by him, and the people in the Swallow Gate were chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes.
However, Qin Feng knew that the Swallow Gate was actually a side branch of the thief door, which originated from the thief's lineage, such as the bone shrinking skills, light skills, and internal boxing techniques in the door, all of which were deeply related to the thief's stunts.
However, around 1900, Yun Zhongyan joined the Boxer and was not allowed by the Qing court.
In the thirties, the Swallow Gate was re-integrated into people's sight, but the reason was that there was a big thief in the capital, called Swallow Li San.
At that time, there were several versions of Yanzi Li San, some said that Yanzi Li San robbed the rich and helped the poor, and some said that Yanzi Li San burned, killed, and plundered all kinds of evil.
However, Qin Feng heard from the master that this person's real name is Li Shengwu, his background is unknown, and he acted boldly, he once went to the mansion of the temporary ruling Duan Qirui to steal, and also stole the property of Prime Minister Pan Fu, Ruling Secretary-General Liang Hongzhi and others.
In the twenties, this man behaved fairly well, but when he became infected with opium and women, he became depraved, and as the rumors later said, burning, killing, and plundering were all evil.
Zai Yu originally had a relationship with Li Shengwu, Li Shengwu was still very regular at that time, and later after hearing about Li Shengwu's evil deeds, Zai Yu once went to the capital to look for him, wanting to eradicate him, but he did not find his whereabouts.
Hearing Qin Feng mention Li San's name, Miao Liuzhi gritted his teeth and said: "It is this thief, the master treats him like a parent, but he just taught him a few words, and the thief actually drugged the master's wine......"
It turned out that when the reputation of "Swallow Li San" in the rivers and lakes became bigger and bigger, Li Shengwu also became fluttering, and was contaminated with the vices of gambling, opium and prostitution.
With these problems, no amount of money is enough for him to spend, so Li San began to shoot frantically, whether he is old, weak, sick or disabled, or dignitary, he will not let go of any of them.
Violating the rule of stealing the door and not stealing, Jiang Yishou naturally couldn't tolerate it, Jiang Yishou, who was integrating the thief in the south at that time, summoned Li Shengwu over, reprimanded him fiercely, and if he dared to do so, he would take back his kung fu.
Who knew that Li Shengwu at this time was already mad, and on the surface he was crying bitterly and wanted to change his ways, but secretly he poisoned the wine that made amends to his master, and wanted to poison this old immortal to death.
But Li Shengwu didn't expect Jiang's kung fu to be so exquisite, he actually used his internal strength to force the toxin out, and slapped him, so frightened that Li Shengwu fled back to Beiping overnight, and until he died, he didn't dare to go out of Jintian to the south.
"Damn it!"
After hearing Miao Liuzhi's speech, Qin Feng was still angry, in his heart, the master was the most respected person, and it was not an exaggeration for Li Shengwu to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor, and it would not be an exaggeration to crush his bones and scatter ashes.
"He deserves to die, and he's dying miserably!"
Miao Liuzhi laughed faintly, gritted his teeth and said: "Master was drugged by him, causing his cultivation to be completely wasted, and he lay in bed for several years before dying, and he, Li Shengwu, also died on the medicine, which can be regarded as a report and a report......
