In the evening, Elder Bai, Elder Niu, and Elder Zhou suddenly came to find Benxu and said, "Master Benxu, you have a friendship with several generations of our beggar gang, and Shaolin and the beggar gang have always shared weal and woe. ”

Ben Xuan was stunned, and immediately understood, sighed and said: "It's time to consider the problem of the helper, now that people's minds are changing, it is a chaotic time, and we must not guard against it." I know what you mean, this new gang leader will be elected by the three of you, and then I will tell Gang Master Zhang and ask him to gather all the disciples to announce it. ”

Niu and Zhou Erren had unbearable expressions on their faces, and said, "The three of us have agreed that Elder Bai will be the new gang leader. Elder Bai is thoughtful and resourceful, and may be able to lead everyone through difficulties. ”

Ben looked at Elder Bai with empty eyes, and Elder Bai said with a shameful face: "I didn't expect the beggar gang to come to this point, it's really heart-wrenching." Elder Niu and Elder Zhou unanimously recommended me as the gang leader, with Bai's knowledge and martial arts, how could he afford the heavy responsibility of the beggar gang leader? Seeing that the beggar gang was in the middle, Bai had no choice but to avoid it. This big thing of the beggar gang, I hope that the master of Benxu will have a lot of support. ”

Ben Xuan nodded and said: "Elder Bai, don't be too humble, with your decades of martial arts experience, how can this gang leader not be able to do it? The beggar gang and Shaolin have always shared weal and woe, and once something happens, Shaolin will definitely help." You can rest assured for the time being, wait for me to tell the gang leader Zhang, and the position of the gang leader will be passed on in two days. ”

Elder Niu, Bai, and Wednesday waved at him, turned and went out. Ben Xuan looked at the backs of them going out, his thoughts fluctuated, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

When he walked into the temple, he saw that Elder Sun's breathing was weak, and Zhang Xuanmeng was also gradually unconscious, and sighed.

It's just that there is a mystery in his heart, and he can't solve it for a while, so he said: "I will go to Li Laocai's house tonight to investigate carefully, if I can't find the antidote again, I have to follow the request of these three elders." ”

Just after nightfall, Ben Xuan and Ben Difficult, Master Jinguang went to that alley. This time, I didn't take Zhang Xuanmeng and Elder Sun to go with him, seeing that the two of them were dying soon, it was expected that no one would plot again.

The three of them quietly opened the door as they had done a few times before, walked in, and searched carefully. This time, I brought a shovel and dug up all the suspicious places in the house. By the time the rooster crowed, there was still no new discovery. The three of them finally gave up and walked out the door.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the noodle restaurant, I saw a figure flashing in the distance of the alley. The three of them were startled, and the man flashed, and hesitated, as if waiting for them.

Ben is impatient, and he has not found an antidote in the past few days, so he has a fire in his belly and scolds loudly: "Thief bird, what are you doing following us?

Ben Xuan looked strange, and pulled the sleeve of this difficulty. But I saw that the man was running to the depths of the alley in a panic, his steps were clumsy, and he didn't know martial arts. The three of them were even more surprised.

Ben said: "Hold him first." A few ups and downs, catching up with the man. The man was about to scream, but he had already clicked on the acupoint, lifted it on his shoulder, and hurried out of the city.

After a short time, when he came outside the city, it was difficult to put him down. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the three of them could see clearly that this person was in his fifties and there was nothing unusual about him.

This person was afraid of abnormality, and looked at the three of them, just trembling. Ben said gently: "Don't panic, don't panic, we won't embarrass you." ”

Seeing that the man was innocent and angry, not as vicious as this, he nodded, calmed down, and said, "May I ask, what do you call this master?"

Ben Xuan said: "Donor, is this necessary?" The man lowered his head emphatically. Ben Xu's heart suddenly moved, and said: "The old monk's name is Ben Xu. ”

The man looked at him repeatedly and said, "Are you really the master of Benxu?" Benxu nodded.

The man looked at Master Jinguang again, and Master Jinguang nodded again and again.

The man said happily: "You are really a master of the void, that's great." I've been keeping an eye on you for a few days, but I've been afraid to come out and recognize you. ”

Ben said in a hurry: "This donor, do you have something to look for me?"

The man: "Yes." ”

Ben Xuxi said: "It has something to do with Li Laocai?"

The man nodded, "Exactly." ”

Benxu was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, start from the beginning slowly." He advised the man not to be in a hurry, but he was already in a hurry when he said this.

The man looked at Ben Nan again, opened his mouth, but said nothing. Ben smiled and said, "He is my junior brother, and he has always been impatient. If you are not at ease, let him stand far away and take care of the wind for us. ”

Ben said unpleasantly: "Donor, the poor monk is sorry." As he spoke, he walked into the distance.

When the man saw that it was difficult to go far, he calmed down and said, "I am Li Laocai's neighbor, and I have always been good friends with his family. Li Laocai is kind, friendly, never deceives people in business, and is very friendly with his neighbors. Half a month ago, he suddenly found me, called me to the wilderness, said that he wanted to beg me for something, and asked me to promise that I would never confide in outsiders.

Li Laocai has always talked to me about everything, laughing and laughing all day long, but I didn't expect that when I said this, it was very solemn, as if a catastrophe had come, which scared me. I was apprehensive and nodded in agreement.

He stared into my eyes and said, "If one day my whole family dies, can you do something for me?"

When I heard this, I was even more startled, and when I saw that he didn't seem to be joking, I fixed my mind: "Li Laocai, as long as you believe in me and tell me something, I will definitely do it for you." ”

Li Laocai said: "Actually, this matter is very easy to do, as long as you find someone for me and hand over the same things to him, it's fine." "I thought it was a big difficulty, but it turned out that I was just looking for someone for him and handing over something, so I nodded and agreed.

So he said: "Today is the seventh day of the eighth month, and in a few days, it will be the fifteenth day of August." If there is a sudden disaster in my family after August 15, it will not be long before someone comes to my house. If it's anyone else, you must not show up. Only when you see an old monk who looks like this can you come out and recognize him, and his Dharma name is false. Then you take him out into the outskirts and dig up the thing and give it to him. And when he saw the things in it, he understood everything. ”

As he spoke, he took out an oilcloth sail bag from his bosom, dug a deep pit under a tree, put the bag in it, and buried it with stone soil. And said: "There are all harmful things in this, if my family is in trouble, it is because of it, you must not dig it out at will, it will bring disaster to your family." ”

At that time, I was so frightened by him that I immediately nodded in agreement.

Who knew that after more than ten days, that is, six days ago in the morning, when the sky was just dawning, I suddenly heard a rush of horses' hooves, and when I arrived at the door of Li Laocai's house, I stopped suddenly, and then I heard the sound of the door being smashed open.
