Chapter 38 The Righteous Beggars and the Evil Beggars

Xu Changqing chatted with Zhao Banqian for a while, and then saw that the house seemed to be packing up, so he asked, "Old man, is this preparing to move elsewhere?"

"I was going back to Sichuan, my family had already gone before me, I stayed to arrange chores, and I was ready to leave in two days. Zhao Banqian nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. and I are really fateful, and we arrived in Wuhan before I was about to leave, so that the two of us could meet." ”

"Maybe this is the destiny in the underworld!" Xu Changqing smiled and continued to ask: "Wuhan is located in the belly of the dragon, it is the place where the Dan becomes a god, both the qi vein and the earth vein are impeccable, compared to the place where the dragon breath gathers wealth in Shanghai, it is better in terms of connections. Old man, why did you abandon your family business and go to Sichuan?"

Zhao Banqian sighed and said: "But compared to life, this little family business is nothing! Zhang Xun has already arrived in Hubei, Zhang Renjun is about to come, and the Beiyang New Army is also preparing to enter Wuhan, which has become a place of war, and I have calculated that it will be impossible to be peaceful here in five or six years. I was going to move to Shanghai, but Shanghai is where the dragon's breath tumor is, and I don't have the heart to break into the world back then, so I can only push back and move back to Sichuan, which is relatively calm. ”

Xu Changqing said with concern: "Then I have found a place to stay, I still have some contacts in Sichuan, and several uncles in the robe have owed me favors, and if you have difficulties, you may be able to help a little." ”

"Mr. Lao is concerned. Zhao Banqian shook his head and said, "I have already bought a few houses in Chengdu, Sichuan, where there are a few of my old customers, and they also want me to be their staff. ”

"Chengdu? Well, Chengdu is also very good, although it is not as good as Wuhan and Shanghai, but it is also a place where treasure is divided. Xu Changqing nodded, picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, no longer beating around the bush, and said bluntly: "Old man, there is something I want to ask!"

"Sir, please. Zhao Banqian was stunned and said

Xu Changqing looked at Zhao Banqian's expression and asked, "Did Hu Yueniang from the prostitute family send someone to you to ask questions these days?"

Zhao Banqian didn't have any expression on his face, as if he had already guessed that Xu Changqing would ask this question, nodded slightly, and said: "I came to ask yesterday, and I told him truthfully, and the success or failure was mixed." After a pause, he said with a solemn face: "I didn't expect that there would be people who would win the championship in Kowloon**, and now that the demonic spirit in the north is rising, is it too risky for Mr. to do this time?"

"It's man-made, if I don't fight for this matter, I won't even have the qualifications to fight in the future. Xu Changqing's face was not very good-looking, and then he asked: "The old man has been in charge of the Mandate of Heaven for so many years, and most of the life masters who have a little Taoism, old man, you all know that the old man who assisted Xuangang Heavenly Demon in his actions against the sky this time has a little eyebrows." ”

Zhao Banqian frowned and said, "I don't know who it is, but the two points of his ability to cover up the Heavenly Opportunity and the Nine Dragons winning the championship remind me of a person." ”

Xu Changqing asked urgently, "Who is it?"

"Sun Baoyuan, one of the eight ministers of Su Shun. Zhao Banqian lightly wiped his beard and said: "Su Shun has a very good relationship with the old man Qingzhu of Tianzhu Mountain, when Su Shun was beheaded by the whole house, the old man Qingzhu rescued Su Shun's grandson and brought him back to the mountains to raise him, and his own set of stunts to guide the qi of Tianji were all taught to Bao Yuan. Later, after the old man Qingzhu died, Baoyuan also disappeared, and the Qingzhu lineage was lost. The relationship between my master and the old man Qingzhu back then can be called irreversible, so I know that the old man Qingzhu inadvertently got an ancient book with Liu Bowen's grave in his early years, and it was mentioned in the ancient book that there were nine dragons in the tomb**. According to this inference, people who can be good at these two stunts do not think twice other than Bao Yuan. ”

"No wonder, no wonder!" After hearing this, Xu Changqing suddenly realized, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder he wants to use Cixi and Guangxu as living sacrifices, presumably after so many years, he still hates the Xingjue Luo royal family and Cixi, the old woman who single-handedly led his family to death." Saying that, he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "If this person is really that treasure yuan, this time the Xuangang Heavenly Demon will suffer, and maybe even his life will be thrown on it." ”

"Maybe!" Zhao Banqian was obviously not as optimistic as Xu Changqing, and said: "Sir, don't forget, there is a sharp word in front of the word Qiu, if Xuangang Heavenly Demon promises benefits that can make Bao Yuan's heart move, Bao Yuan will not help him wholeheartedly." ”

"Well, the old man has a point. Xu Changqing restrained his smile, nodded, and said, "I'm indeed a little carried away, it seems that the kung fu of cultivating the mind is still not hot enough." ”

"In fact, when I heard the news of Guangxu and Cixi's death at the end of last year, I sensed that something was wrong, but I didn't expect the matter to be so big. Zhao Banqian sighed and said: "Right now, those Immortal Buddha Sects have all closed the mountain gate, and their outer disciples are almost ordered not to go out at will, I didn't expect that this matter of saving the fortune of Huaxia's Qi Vein would fall on us who are in the lower ninth rank, it's a sigh, it's ridiculous!"

Xu Changqing didn't feel annoyed at all, and said: "It's no wonder, if it weren't for the fact that my ninth-rate idler's vein is too deeply involved in cause and effect, I might also choose to escape the world, or learn from the old man to find a blessed place to temporarily avoid the limelight." ”

"Alas, it's a pity that most of the people who know the Mandate of Heaven know numerology, but the Taoism is shallow, otherwise it will ......" Zhao Banqian sighed, and then seemed to remember something, took out a copper key from his arms, and said: "If Mr. goes to Beiping, there is someone who may be able to help, and he is Xu Shichang, the head of Xiaoguo Affairs." When he was down, he sent it to my door, and I was also his half-teacher, and this key was given to me by him a few years ago, saying that as long as I had something to send someone to see him, he would help. ”

Xu Changqing just needs to find a governor in Beiping, Xu Shichang is the best, but he has not dealt with him before, so it is not good to visit rashly, and Zhao Banqian's key is just a stepping stone. So he didn't shirk it, thanked him, and took the key into his arms.

Xu Changqing stayed at Zhao Banqian's house for another day, cleaned up his head and body, and changed into the clothes and gown that Zhao Banshan prepared for him. In fact, it was easy for him to make his face and body a little plump, but he didn't do that. Under the effect of the Nine Streams Dao, his almost depleted Jindan True Yuan had all recovered in only two days, and at the same time, when cultivating the Nine Streams Dao, he continued to use the most primitive and pure wish power and the five elements of heaven and earth to refine ** and the five internal organs, so that he could reach the mixed yuan golden body without a little impurity, so these days he also deliberately eats vegetarian to reduce the accumulation of impurities in the body.

Although it was only one more day, for Xu Changqing, the benefits were quite lucrative, and when he discussed numerology with Zhao Banqian, he learned a lot of fortune-pushing techniques to know the destiny of heaven, including the method of changing fortune and reversing fate. It was not until this time that Xu Changqing knew why most of the Mandate of Heaven was to go to the rivers and lakes and had no power, but he had always been in a state of leader in Wenmen, because of their method of changing fortune and rebelling against fate. Although he only touched on the surface slightly, he already felt the power of it. To deal with a person, you only need to change his luck, and that person will be in danger of his life even if he just drinks a glass of water. Although the method of changing fortune and disobeying fate is not something that can be performed lightly, absolutely no one wants to provoke such a group of people who can take your life without a trace at any time.

On the evening of the second day, Xu Changqing got up to say goodbye to Zhao Banqian, and at the same time he made a peachwood man who blocked the disaster of the sword soldiers and sold it to Zhao Banqian in exchange for some change needed on the road. Although this practice is a bit hypocritical, Zhao Banqian also understands that this is a habit that all life masters have, and he doesn't want to be contaminated with cause and effect.

Although Xu Changqing has changed into a green coat, he is still holding the withered bamboo that he picked up in Yizhuang. On the road in the past few days, he used the Five Elements Wood Spirit to cultivate this withered bamboo, and used the Dao Law True Yuan to engrave a spell and a magic circle on the surface of the withered bamboo, making it a magic weapon that can control plants within the range of Dao power, and its value is far more than a withered bamboo.

Wuhan is very deserted at night, except for some entertainment gathering places such as metropolis and Midnight City, there are almost no people in other streets and alleys, only some gangsters hide in the shadows and are ready to find a fat sheep at any time. Xu Changqing casually beat three or four batches of people who coveted the golden bell on the road, and finally simply let them snatch the golden bell, but before snatching it, he applied a force of true yuan on the golden bell, which greatly increased the power of the golden bell. For a time, the ruffians and gang hooligans in the city of Wuchang all became extremely fierce, and they fought recklessly in order to snatch this golden bell, and in the end even took out muskets, which caused the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion stationed in Wuhan to also have to go out to quell the chaos.

And Xu Changqing, who was the initiator of the whole incident, walked all the way through the entire Wuchang District and came to the slums of Wuhan City. It is close to Wuhan's northern outer city wall, and most of the people who live here are hawkers who come to the inner city during the day to sell, laborers at the docks and beggars along the streets. Most of them were outsiders, and a few others were farmers from nearby villages, who randomly found a few pieces of wood and built a shed, which was considered a home. At a glance, there is a mess of broken sheds and tiles, except for the main official road on the ground, the other houses and paths are all muddy, this bleak scene is diametrically opposed to the prosperity of the inner city, and it makes people feel sad for a while.

At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly felt a burst of agility in his heart, and saw a golden light flash from the inner city of Wuchang, which crossed the night sky and landed in Xu Changqing's palm. Looking at some blood stains on the golden bell in his hand, Xu Changqing could imagine how fiercely those gangsters and hooligans who were confused were killing each other, and even if these people died, Xu Changqing only sneered. He used the Five Elements Fire Spirit to burn all the blood from the golden bell and tie it back to his braid.

Just as Xu Changqing was about to continue his journey out of Wuhan, he suddenly stopped again, turned his head again, and looked at a soup kitchen not far away surrounded by a group of small beggars. There are quite a few little beggars in Wuhan, all of them have been abducted and looted here by some traffickers, who will break their legs and feet in advance, maim them, pretend to be pitiful, and then let them go out to beg, and hand over all the money they begged for.

These traffickers also belong to the side branch of the beggars, and the beggars are divided into two gates, the righteous beggars and the evil beggars, the righteous beggars are mainly martial arts cultivators, and they practice the chivalrous way of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the evil beggars are mainly evil laws, and they are practicing the evil heart of driving away the good and promoting the evil. Usually, whether it is the Immortal Buddha Orthodox or the Lower Ninth Rank Sidegate, they will regard the evil beggars as the evil demons and crooked ways that everyone can get and be punished, and will only think that the righteous beggars are the authentic beggars. This makes the whereabouts of the evil beggars extremely secretive, they will recruit some side branch disciples, teach some small methods to seduce the soul, use them to collect the boys, and then find suitable people from among the boys, and refine the evil beggar's natal evil method Nine Sons Heavenly Evil Gong.

The reason why Xu Changqing stopped, in addition to the kind-hearted person who gave porridge was the infatuated woman yesterday, the main reason was that he accidentally found his heir to the lineage of ninth-rate idlers. The descendants of the nine-stream idlers of the past generations must be congenital Dao bones, and everyone has Dao bones, but some people have many people, and some people have very few, and congenital Dao bones are extremely rare. The luck of the nine-stream idlers has always been excellent, and each generation can find people with innate bones, the most incredible of which is that the nine consecutive generations of nine-stream idlers have all found the heirs who are four or five years younger than him in the last year of their death, so that the lineage of the nine-stream idlers can continue.

The man in front of him was a little beggar, his body was extremely thin, and one of his arms had been cut off by traffickers, and when the other beggars were all around the middle to fight for hot porridge, he could only stand on the outermost side and watch others drink porridge. Obviously, it was not only Xu Changqing who paid attention to him, but also the infatuated woman, I saw that she specially found a small jar and scooped a jar of porridge for the little beggar to drink, but the little beggar did not drink it, but gave it to a child next to him who was thinner than him, and picked up another jar that was left over by others.
