Qi Ning thought for a moment before asking, "Brother Lou, there is a sentence that may not be appropriate, I don't know if to ask." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Just say it." Lou Wenshi said open-mindedly: "Between you and my brothers, there is nothing that should be asked. ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "I want to ask, if Xiang Xiang is really killed this time, the Aoki Conference will definitely elect a new gang leader, according to your opinion, who is the most suitable person to inherit the position of gang leader?" ”

Master Lou said with a smile: "There have always been three ways to inherit the leader of the beggar gang. The first is naturally the designation of the gang leader, but even so, it requires the consent of the four elders and the majority of the twenty-eight helm masters, but the people selected by the gang leaders in the past generations will certainly not have any problems, so since the beggar gang was established, almost all the heirs designated by the gang leader have successfully inherited the position of the gang leader. This second method is an extraordinary time, if you encounter the life and death of the beggar gang, there are people in the gang who stand up and turn the tide, and everyone in the gang supports it, then even if it is the gang leader, it is impossible to decide the successor, but these characters are all talents from heaven and earth, and it is rare among my beggar gangs, more than 100 years ago, there was a Luo gang leader, that is, he made a miraculous achievement, and the former gang leader abdicated to make way for Xian. ”

Qi Ning said: "What about the last method? ”

"This last option is after the leader of the gang encounters an accident." Lou Wenshi's expression was solemn: "The beggar gang will hold a green wood conference, but all the disciples of the beggar gang, no matter how high or low, are eligible to participate in the selection of help, but it is even more difficult to select the gang leader in this way, not only to excel in martial arts, but also to get the support of the gang, usually speaking, in this situation, they are selected from the four elders." ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and understood in his heart that there were countless disciples of the Beggar Gang, and there were not a few people who were strong in martial arts, and even among the disciples of the Beggar Gang, there were many martial arts that surpassed the four elders, but when it came to the status and qualifications in the Beggar Gang, naturally no one could compare to the four elders, and the four elders each led one side, and each of them had countless supporters, so in the final analysis, the four elders still had to rely on martial arts to compete for the position of the gang leader.

"If the gang leader encounters an accident, if the new gang leader succeeds to the throne, the real murderer must be found within two years, and then a conference will be held, and the murderer needs to be mature and seventy-seven forty-nine knives can be fatal." Lou Wenshi said: "If you can't find the real culprit within two years and fail to avenge the helper, then you will automatically abdicate and change to others." ”

Qi Ning said: "The white tiger released the news that the gang leader was killed, and this time the Aoki Conference in Xiangyang Gurung is naturally to re-elect the gang leader. He smiled faintly and said, "What about the White Tiger's martial arts?" ”

Lou Wenshi said with a smile: "If you talk about martial arts, among the four elders, my martial arts are only afraid that they are no longer below the other three, but when it comes to talent, Northern Xuanwu is stronger than me, and his martial arts are not weak. ”

Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that this Lou Wenshi was really above board, his martial arts were not weak, and he dominated one side, if he really wanted to compete for the position of the gang leader, he might not have no chance, but he made up his mind to support the northern Xuanwu, and he had no selfish desires, and he had a little respect in his heart.

Wen is not the first, Wu is not the second, the people in the rivers and lakes never feel that they are left behind, they are the same four elders, Lou Wenshi's martial arts are not under Xuanwu, but he is willing to let Xian, this bearing, people have to admire. Qi Ning was originally worried that the four elders would fight each other and end up cheapening the White Tiger, but now that Master Lou supports Xuanwu, the two elders may not be able to compete with the White Tiger when they join forces.

Thinking of this, Qi Ning's heart was a little relieved, and he said with a smile: "Big brother is open-minded and admirable. Merely...... When the eldest brother goes to Xiangyang, he should pay more attention to the white tiger. ”

"Brother Qi, you want to stop talking, what's going on?" Master Lou frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, even if you say it bluntly, you don't have to be taboo." ”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before he said, "Big brother, if I said that Xiang was seriously injured by the gang leader, it was because the White Tiger colluded with others, I don't know if you believe it?" ”

Lou Wenshi was stunned, Gongsun Jian and the others were also stunned, looking at each other, Lou Wenshi's eyebrows were locked, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "I will investigate this matter auspiciously." Among the four elders, Bai Hu is second to none in terms of qualifications, and he has made many contributions in the beggar gang for decades.......! After a deep groan, he smiled and said: "But Brother Qi's words, I will remember that when we arrive in Xiangyang and meet Xuanwu, we have our own plans." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard the strong man boatman say: "How many ...... A few heroes, the rain is much lighter, you can ..... It's time to cross the river. ”

Master Lou nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The two boatmen went out of the cabin, and Master Lou Wencai said: "In terms of qualifications, Baihu is qualified to serve as the leader of the gang, but his talent is mediocre and it is difficult to convince the public. And since the helper is still alive, there is no need to choose the helper again, Baihu in the letter, keep saying that the helper was killed, but when the time comes, he will be asked to come up with conclusive evidence, and if he can't see the body of the helper, no one can be the helper. ”

The two were talking in the cabin, and the ferry took half a pillar of incense to get to the other side, Qi Ning had some broken silver on his body, and there was no copper coin, so he took a piece of broken silver as the fare, and forced the old man to accept it, and the old man thanked him a thousand times.

Qi Ning thought to himself that with Chi Danmei's current situation, how far to escape is unrealistic, the old man said that there is a small temple twenty miles to the southwest, which can treat injuries, and thought that it is better to go over and take a look first, and ask the old man in detail about the road, Lou Wenshi is going to the west, after the two say goodbye, Lou Wenshi and his subordinates go from the west, Qi Ning can only carry Chi Danmei on his back, and turn to the southwest.

Chi Danmei has a sexy figure, but her weight is light, Qi Ning's internal strength is deep, and it is natural to carry Chi Danmei, only for an hour, the rain has stopped, the sky is still gray, it is already evening, at a glance, there are green and wild grasses not far ahead, but there is a dense bamboo forest on the left, but a few miles, Qi Ning thought that that there should be the place that the old man said, and immediately accelerated his steps to go over there.

Close to the bamboo forest, after the heavy rain, the bamboo forest wafts out bursts of bamboo fragrance, mixed with the earthy smell after the heavy rain, which makes people feel refreshed.

Qi Ning was a little strange in his heart, secretly thought that he had never heard that the temple would be built in the bamboo forest, to the edge of the bamboo forest, and soon found a path leading to the depths of the bamboo forest, the red dan Meiwu on the back did not wake up, but the breathing was quite even, and then followed the path into the bamboo forest, in the bamboo forest after the rain, there was a layer of dense air, like haze, and walked along the path for a long time, and suddenly saw that the front suddenly opened up, only to see a small pond in front, the water quality was clear, and there were lotus leaves floating on it, There are even frogs croaking on the lotus leaves, but there are four wooden houses on the edge of the pond, Qi Ning frowned, thinking that the old man said that there is a temple here, but at this time there is no trace of the temple, but a few small cabins, quite puzzled.

Qi Ning knew that although Chi Danmei's martial arts were high, but at this time she was in a coma, she naturally would not be lucky, her whole body was already soaked, if she didn't make a fire to dry it in time, she was afraid that she would aggravate the injury, bypassed the pond, and in front of the wooden house, she saw that three of the wooden houses were closed with wooden doors, only the one on the edge was slightly open, Qi Ning knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

There was no sound in the house, Qi Ning asked again, there was silence in all directions, there seemed to be no trace of the wooden house in the forest, and the wooden door was gently pushed open, there was no one in the house, although there were windows, but the weather outside was hazy, and the house was naturally very dim, and I vaguely saw a board bed in the corner of the house, there was no bedding on it, there was a table in the middle of the room, and there were two small wooden chairs on the side, but there was an oil lamp on the table, and there was even a flint and steel next to it.

Qi Ning saw that although the house was simple, it was quite clean, and it seemed that someone lived here, otherwise it would have been uninhabited for a long time, and it would definitely be covered with a layer of dust.

He used to put Chi Danmei carefully on the plank bed, and then he went out, wanting to find a stove to make a fire, and when he got to the other three wooden houses, the wooden doors could not be opened, with his martial arts, it was naturally easy to break into the door, but thinking that there were people living here after all, it was rude to enter the house without permission, and if he broke the door and entered, it would be a robber.

Not only is the wooden door closed, but the windows of the three wooden houses are also sealed with wooden boards, and the situation inside is not clear, Qi Ning was puzzled, suddenly smelled a peculiar smell, straightened his nose and sniffed, and then raised his hand to fan on the tip of his nose, it was a rancid smell, even with a trace of blood, in the air, the bamboo fragrance in the bamboo forest was very strong, if you don't smell carefully, it is difficult to detect, at this time Qi Ning is on the edge of the wooden house, but it smells the clues.

He went around to the back of the wooden house, trying to find the things that made the fire, by the way to see if there was anyone, to the back of the house, the rancid smell was stronger, and saw that there was a trail behind that led to the deeper part of the bamboo forest, and walked a few steps along the path, the rancid smell was even clearer, Qi Ning knew that the source was in front, took the cold blade in his hand, touched the path along the path, and walked out of the way, the rancid smell made people almost disgusting, covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and walked a little longer, but saw a pothole in front of him, close to the past, But he saw that the pit was full of rotten flesh and bones, maggots wriggling on the rotten flesh and bones, and swarms of green-headed flies.

Qi Ning's stomach rolled, he almost vomited, covered his mouth, barely glanced at it, and saw that the pit seemed to be full of livestock and beasts, and suddenly, he saw a human skull exposed between the carrion, and his heart sank, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned around and forgot about the cabin and ran over.

The wind was blowing under his feet, walking like flying, seeing the row of cabins, suddenly saw a shadow appear on the side, clenched the cold blade in his hand, and looked over, but saw a white-haired old woman of fifty or sixty years old, with a wooden stick in her hand and a bamboo basket on her back, because of the hunchback, the whole body was almost bent at ninety degrees, the old woman obviously also heard the sound, raised her head slightly, turned her head to look, but Qi Ning saw that this old woman looked ugly, and her left eye was even more sarcoma, covering the entire left eye.
