Chapter 18: See Purple Spot Again

Tian Xi helped Xiao Dongshan tear up the meat and stuff it into his mouth. Xiao Dongshan has been sleeping in the open these days, where has he received such kindness? I was grateful in my heart.

Wednesday Dao took a sip of wine and said: "Elder Sun, I am an outsider, you boast of Yao Zhongtian's kung fu so much, I am not convinced, how powerful is this Yao Zhongtian, what kind of background is he, everyone is here today, do you want to tell us." ”

Elder Sun touched his snow-white beard and said, "Okay! Yao Zhongtian's bottom line, there are really not many people who know more than me, brothers are willing to listen to my old man's nagging? The beggar gang disciples shouted, "Okay! Elder Sun, tell us about it. Even Lord Feng followed suit, looking particularly approachable.

Elder Sun swallowed the beef in his mouth, cleared his throat, and said, "You young people may not know, but those over fifty years old know it, thirty ...... Thirty-eight years ago, a shocking bloody case occurred in the Central Plains Martial Arts. At that time, in Wulin, in addition to the heads of the major sects, these two people were the most famous, one surnamed Yao and the other surnamed Xue. The ancestor of the surname Yao was an official for four generations, and later changed the dynasty, the Yao family judged the situation and returned to obedience as soon as possible, and was able to save his life. His family's martial arts are real kung fu, a set of 48 Feng Hui swordsmanship, I have seen it. ”

A five-bag disciple beside Master Feng asked, "Did your old man do anything with him?" ”

Elder Sun patted his leg and said, "This leg of mine is lame by a sword surnamed Yao!" ”

Everyone let out an "ahhh

Elder Sun said: "That's because I haven't met Lin Lao's gang leader, and I haven't joined the beggar gang, I originally did some work to cut the path, the Yao family has a batch of gold, silver and jewelry to be transported to the capital, and I was eyed, how do I know that it was personally sent by the surname Yao, and as soon as I got into the fight, I fell behind and was stabbed with a sword...... Fortunately, the old gang leader Lin saw that I was injured and was waiting to die, so he saved me, and later my brother came to find me, and my brother and I joined the beggar gang ......" As he spoke, he pointed to another Elder Sun beside him. Only then did Xiao Dongshan know that these two were brothers.

Elder Sun continued, "Grandma's, it's far away...... Brothers, the big guy is now a disciple of the Beggar Gang, don't follow my brother's example of me doing such a......"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Elder Sun said: "Besides, this surnamed Xue, originally a monk of Shaolin Temple, secretly learned the martial arts secrets of Shaolin Temple, and moved his heart, thinking about returning to the vulgar, the first seat of the Shaolin Temple Precept Institute said that you want to return to the vulgar, but you must first abolish the martial arts and then play fifty precepts before you can go down the mountain, he pretended to reluctantly agree." This man stole a stunt, and actually practiced a peerless martial art of changing the meridians, and when the first seat of the precept institute abolished his meridians, he used his magic skills, deceived the first seat of the precept academy, ate fifty precepts, suffered from skin and flesh, and went down the mountain to return to the customs. The first seat of the Discipline Academy has abolished his martial arts! ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent, and their hearts were numb.

Elder Sun said: "This surnamed Xue waited until he grew his hair and restored his common surname, so he claimed to be a cultivator in Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions and returned, accepted apprentices and taught arts, and gradually became more and more famous. Originally, the two were safe and sound, until one day...... The Yao family has been an official for generations, in the end it is different from other rivers and lakes reckless, very arrogant, there is a disciple surnamed Xue who is kind enough to make friends with them, but he was insulted because of his low birth, he came back and told the master, the surname Xue is also a poor birth, otherwise how could he go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk? So he made a big fuss, personally attacked, and raided in the middle of the night, killing more than 30 members of the Yao family, only an eight-year-old child was clever and escaped by hiding in a dog hole...... This child is Yao Zhongtian. ”

Elder Sun sighed and said: "Although the surname Yao stabbed me with a sword, it turned out that my skills were not as good as others, I don't hate him, but they treat us poor people as people, and they shouldn't be, but the surname Xue is also vicious, the Yao family is so prestigious, the chicken and dog are not left overnight, this matter shook the entire martial arts, there are two people who have received the great favor of the Yao family, find the door of the surname Xue to ask for an explanation, but he can't beat him, but he is dead and disabled, the reputation of the surname Xue is getting stronger and stronger, he doesn't do two endlessly, simply hang out' Fight all over the world's invincible's banner, and the arrogance is very arrogant. didn't dare to trouble him, and gradually, Wulin acquiesced to his title of 'invincible opponent all over the world'. ”

A young disciple asked, "This guy is so arrogant and domineering, there is no famous and decent master to come out and clean him up?" ”

Elder Sun sneered: "What kind of bullshit is decent, who wants to provoke such a big devil!" Who is sure that he will win him? Or there are real masters, who are not pretentious, as if they will lose their worth if they take care of this idle matter! I said that the most hateful thing in this world is these bullshit hermits, what a master! Phew! ”

Elder Sun spat out a mouthful of phlegm fiercely and said, "Besides, this kid is Yao Zhongtian, who is only eight years old, so he became a flower child, but he didn't join our beggar gang...... He begged and wandered all the way, mixed for a few months, and came to Qixia Mountain in Nanjing. On this day, I was digging wild vegetables in the forest, and suddenly the wind in the forest was blowing, the branches were shaking, and the wild grass was swinging, and when I looked up, my mother, a colorful tiger, was flying down from the post......"

At this time, it was already dark, and the cold was pressing, and a villager came in with firewood and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me let go, and when I light the fire, you lords will gather around the fire." Everyone listened to it with great taste, and they all urged: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

Lord Feng took matters into his own hands, and after a while, he lit the bonfire, and everyone gathered around to listen to Elder Sun continue to tell the story. I only heard him say: "When Yao Zhongtian saw the tiger, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, stayed in place, and saw that he was about to become the belly of the tiger, and suddenly an old monk came, flashed next to the tiger, and raised his Zen staff to the tiger is a stick, the tiger's blood flowed, and his brain splashed, and he died after a while. In this way, the old monk took the young Yao Zhongtian to his retreat and passed on to him an amazing martial arts...... Let's talk about Shaolin Temple, after a few years, I gradually realized that this surname Xue was a monk who was still vulgar back then, seeing that he did a lot of evil, the abbot sent the first Luohan Hall to clean up the portal, the first Luohan Hall was one of the top masters of Shaolin Temple at that time, and his martial arts were very good...... At that time, if you see the master, you are still young, otherwise with the martial arts of the master today, you will naturally be able to catch it......"

Xiao Dongshan heard him say this, and secretly remembered: "It turns out that there is a master of kung fu in Shaolin Temple now, and today is really a long insight." ”

I only heard Elder Sun continue: "As soon as the two of them started, the first seat of the Luohan Hall still lost a move, and after returning to the temple, he went to the Dharma Academy to practice without saying a word, and only today, I have never heard of this master." Another year passed, the three monks of the Dharma Academy who had been in retreat for many years went out together, and the abbot begged the three monks to go out of the mountain, so the three monks came together to find the surname Xue, and when the three monks found the surname Xue, they were taken aback. "Elder Sun said this, sell a pass, stop talking. How could the beggars help the disciples endure it, and urged one after another. Those who knew the outcome looked at the brothers in the gang with a smile, extremely satisfied, and said secretly: "I don't know this kind of martial arts thing, how to mix it!" ”

Elder Sun cleared his throat and said, "What else can there be?" When the three monks found the surname Xue, they saw a thin and short sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, shirtless, using a Qimei stick to fight the surname Xue, fighting to 300 moves, the child shouted, smashed the head surnamed Xue, and then cried bitterly...... This kid doesn't need me to say, everyone knows that it's Yao Zhongtian! ”

When everyone heard that Yao Zhongtian had avenged the big revenge, they were all relieved, and then they were worried about the helper, and secretly thought: "Yao Zhongtian has such martial arts at the age of sixteen or seventeen, no wonder he is known as 'Peerless Stick', and now he is in his forties, and that kung fu is even more perfect, and the helper, the helper, the helper, ......the helper,

Hearing this, Zhou Dao was obviously not as optimistic as before, and said: "This Yao Zhongtian Master is so powerful, I don't know if he will have a senior brother come to help him, we have to be extra careful about this." ”

Elder Sun said: "Don't worry about this, Yao Zhongtian's senior brother has never appeared on the rivers and lakes, just because his master has never let them get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and even Yao Zhongtian secretly went down the mountain back then. Because of his deep blood feud and the fact that the surname Xue was too notorious, his master did not punish him, and later he married the daughter of the head of the Huashan faction Qin, and earned such a boss in the Central Plains, and his master went with him. ”

Wednesday Dao asked again: "Master, what is the origin of this old monk?" It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

Elder Sun said: "There are very few people who know this, but I know a little, but his old man is the person I respect the most in this life, and his old man's name is not mentioned." ”

Wednesday said, "Uh...... Brother, these are all their own brothers, what are you still hiding? The younger brother was very curious, and the elder brother revealed one or two, you don't want to mention the name of the old man, just talk about the deeds of the old man, let me wait to pay respects. ”

Elder Sun couldn't help it, so he had to say: "His old man's common name was more than 50 years ago, and he was recognized by the world as the world's first brave general. In the second half of his life, he felt that he had killed too much in the first half of his life, and he escaped into the empty door, ignoring the worldly things, and devoted himself to the Buddha. His old man is also different from the Buddha, not only the green lamp withered Zen, but also cultivated the Zen field, planted mulberry hemp vegetables and fruits, and helped the poor people, his old man also knows medical science, brews medicinal tea, and has saved countless poor people who lack medical treatment and medicine......" He said this, emotional, pulled Elder Sun Xiao beside him, and said: "My brothers have been lonely since childhood, their parents died early, he had a vicious disease when he was ten years old, and he was about to die, I am also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, what can I do!" I heard that his old man hung a pot for free clinic, so he tied a wooden shelf and dragged him to seek medical treatment, and the old man saved his life, although he was late, he was deaf and dumb, and he survived! ”

Xiao Dongshan is the son of an official eunuch, and he knows a lot of anecdotes about the court and the opposition, so he naturally knows who the world's number one brave general was more than fifty years ago, and secretly thought: "It turns out that Yao Zhongtian's master is this legendary person, so it's no wonder that Yao Zhongtian's kung fu is so good...... It turned out that this little elder Sun was a deaf and mute person, so it was no wonder that he didn't speak all the time. ”

Everyone listened to the discussion, some knew who it was, but because of Elder Sun's face, it was difficult to say the name, some said that Elder Sun Xiao had become so deaf and dumb, and some said that Yao Zhongtian was so big.

At this time, the bright moon was like a wheel, shining brightly in the courtyard, and Elder Sun finished telling the story of Yao Zhongtian, falling into deep thought, and the moonlight sprinkled on his rags, revealing indescribable vicissitudes. On Wednesday, Dao and Feng Duo, as well as a few six or seven bag disciples, began to discuss the contact with the Shaanxi and Gansu Helm to pay attention to the movements of the Huashan faction, how to pay attention to the disciples such as the Smiling Tiger when the time comes, and what kind of person Yao Dexuan, Yao Zhongtian's son, Yao Dexuan, is, and so on. Xiao Dongshan saw that Feng Helm was extraordinary, and his command was determined, although he didn't say much, he often hit the key point with a word, and thought to himself: "It's amazing, the beggar gang is really full of talents, and this helmsman is not an ordinary person." ”

Everyone roasted the fire until midnight, and then dispersed in twos and threes, some went to the firewood room, some went to the kitchen, and some snuggled in the corner of the wall, all found a place to sleep, and Lord Feng Duo didn't care, it seems that this is a common thing. Tian Xi pulled Xiao Dongshan and Zhang Dagen, and the three of them went to the stable, and two disciples had already slept on the hay, and everyone squeezed, and the five of them slept together all night.

Early the next morning, the two of them, Elder Sun, went by themselves. Tian Xi and the other three stayed in Shishanzhuang, only to see that there were beggars helping disciples come and go one after another, until the afternoon, when the two seven-bag disciples arrived, Feng Duo Master gathered everyone: "Okay! Brothers, there are still hundreds of miles away from Xinyang, today everyone is here to rest, raise the spirit, tomorrow hurry, be sure to arrive in Xinyang City before the first day of March. There are a lot of us, it's too eye-catching to walk together, tomorrow we will be separated from three or two as companions and leave one after another, brothers, do you have any problems! The crowd said in unison, "Listen to the helmsman!" ”

On February 17, Tian Xi, Xiao Dongshan, and Gen'er did all the way and set off from Shishanzhuang. Tian Xi wanted to recommend Xiao Dongshan to the beggar gang as a registered disciple, Xiao Dongshan said: "Let's wait until the big thing is over." The three of them are companions, no longer lonely, and Tian Xi takes care of him, Xiao Dongshan has really lived a happy life for more than ten days.

On the afternoon of the first day of the first month of March, the three of them went to find Feng Duo and others near the Chenghuang Temple in the south of Xinyang City, and saw that there were only more than ten people gathered there. The three of them got into the crowd, and Tian Xi asked a familiar one: "Have all the people arrived?" The man said, "When it came to the ninth year, the first one was sent out." ”

At this time, a six-bag disciple asked Master Feng Helm, "What does the letter say?" Lord Feng Helm smiled slightly and said, "There is no movement, that is, this Miss Yao always goes out to meet a handsome son, the two are extremely close, and they want to be a couple." Tian Xi said: "This stinky bitch, most of them are stealing men!" The crowd burst into laughter. Lord Feng Helm stopped: "Eh, how can you speak so ugly, it is normal for people to be happy with men and women of the right age, and it is normal for people to use such foul language." This matter has nothing to do with the Great War, and it should not be talked about anymore. Tian Xilian said: "Yes! Be! ”

Someone else asked, "Is the helper here?" Feng Duo said, "I've arrived, and I've met with a few elders." Only then did Xiao Dongshan notice that the dragon head of the mantle, which was very close to Lord Feng Helm, was gone. Lord Feng Helm instructed again: "We will rest in the south of the city, and we will set off to Bawanggang early the day after tomorrow, everyone should not enter the city if you have nothing to do, there are enough brothers in the city, everyone will keep a low profile, if you have nothing to do, you might as well find a hidden place to catch lice and play!" The beggars smiled and agreed.

Sure enough, everyone mixed in the south of the city for two days, and on the morning of the third day of the first month of March, everyone was full of spirits, brought weapons, and their faces were solemn, and they made a detour from the east of the city to the north of the city.

As soon as he arrived in the north of the city, a five-bag disciple looked panicked, rushed after him from behind, and shouted: "Woe to disaster!" Master Feng, Deputy Gang Leader Ma has an order, everyone should not go to Overlord Gang! Deputy Gang Leader Ma has an order, everyone should not go to Overlord Gang! Lord Feng asked anxiously: "Why are you so flustered?" The five-bag disciple had a sad face and said loudly: "Deputy Gang Leader Ma and the elders of the whole gang held an emergency meeting of the whole gang in Yang's gui, everyone go quickly!" Lord Feng said hurriedly: "Why are you sad? The five bags of disciples couldn't hold back any longer, tears rained down, and said, "The helper was last night, last night...... I left last night...... "Lord Feng Duo was shocked and said, "Gone?" What do you mean? The five bags of disciples said, "The gang leader is dead!" After speaking, he couldn't stop crying.

When the people heard this, they were shocked, and two of them, who had received the favor of the helper, also wept. Everyone lowered their heads, stopped talking, hurried back under their feet, turned two corners, crossed a dike, and came to a pebble hill on the Yang family's corner, only to see that there were already two or three hundred beggar gang disciples gathered together, seven elders sat in the middle, a door panel in the middle, a white-clothed corpse was parked on it, and there was a person standing next to the door panel, in his sixties, medium stature, goatee, extremely energetic, wearing a patch, no bag behind his back, Xiao Dongshan knew that this was the deputy gang leader of Ma, because the beggar gang was in addition to the bagless disciples who had just started, Only the gang leader and the deputy gang leader do not carry bags.

Deputy Gang Master Ma saw Lord Feng Helm and nodded slightly, Lord Feng Helm didn't step forward, he stood behind the seven elders, and saw that there were more than a dozen eight-bag disciples standing behind the seven elders, and when they saw Lord Feng Helm, they all nodded their heads.

The crowd was silent, and the three hundred or so were silent. After a while, eight more bags of disciples came with the crowd, and so three more came.

Deputy Gang Leader Ma coughed and said, "Everyone is almost there!" Salute the helper first! As he spoke, he knelt down with a plop, and the seven elders also stood up first, and then knelt down with a plop, and the four hundred or so people instantly fell to their knees, and with Deputy Gang Leader Ma, he kowtowed respectfully.

After kowtowing, everyone stood up, and the seven elders sat down cross-legged again. Deputy Ma said emotionally: "This gang is unfortunate, the gang leader died young, and the most bitter thing is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I ...... Although I am a subordinate, I watched the helper grow up, and the helper is the only son of Lin Lao's helper, and I brought it up single-handedly, and my heart hurts...... However, the gang leader is gone, and the beggar gang can't mess up, so let's ask the law enforcement elder to tell everyone how the gang leader passed away last night and this morning. As he spoke, he wiped away a handful of old tears.

A short and sturdy elder in his forties stood up and said, "The night before and last night, together with the two helpers, I rested in front of the Yang family to turn a farmer's house, and there were only two old couples in the farmer's family, and his son was a porter who went out of the house. The helper is in good spirits, can eat and drink, and he didn't stop talking to me yesterday afternoon, but persuaded me not to worry, saying that he was sure to win Yao Zhongtian. In the evening, I persuaded the helper to rest early to recuperate, the helper really fell asleep after dark, I slept in the next room, there was no movement at night, I got up in the morning to see that the helper had not gotten up, and looked at the door of the room several times, and then saw that the sky was already bright, so I pushed the door in and called the helper, who knew that the helper had passed away. "This person's surname is Hua, he speaks without emotion, and the disciples in the gang know that he is like this, because the law enforcement is upright, he was appointed as the law enforcement elder by the gang director, responsible for enforcing the gang rules.

After he finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged again. Deputy Gang Leader Ma said again: "Next, the head of the stick will talk about the results of the autopsy." ”

A round-faced man in a gray robe stood up, looking at his age of about forty-six or seventeen, he said: "I was the head of the group twenty years ago, and this brother knows that I have seen it carefully, and the helper has no external injuries on his body, and the helper is neither poisoned nor internally injured, let alone has ever touched anyone, and the helper walks very peacefully." ”

Dharma Protector Elder Sun said: "This is strange, as strange as ten years ago, Deputy Gang Leader Ma, don't you say?" ”

Deputy Gang Leader Ma said: "Yes, ten years ago, Old Gang Leader Lin also left like this, at that time, Old Gang Leader Lin also slept in the Western Heavenly Elysium, could it be that the ancestral grave of the Lin family was not buried in the right place?" The two Dharma Protector Elders, Zhao and Qian, you all talk about your opinions. ”

Wednesday Dao didn't stand up, and said calmly: "I don't think it's that the ancestral grave is not buried in the right place, it's probably some strange disease inherited from the Lin family's bloodline." ”

The Dharma Protector Elder surnamed Zhao was dressed in clean clothes and said, "What the palm bowl leader said makes sense. The Dharma Protector Elder surnamed Qian was a man with a fierce eye, who looked like he was only thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he said: "I checked it for so long ten years ago, and I didn't find out why, so I don't think it's a big deal, and I won't choose the surname Lin as the helper in the future." ”

Xiao Dongshan secretly looked at it carefully, among the seven elders, the three Dharma Protector Elders with the head of the stick, the head of the palm bowl, and the Dharma Protector Elder surnamed Zhao were clean clothes and had no patches on their bodies, and the other four elders were all dirty clothes and covered with patches.

Deputy Gang Leader Ma said again: "Elder Sun, when Old Gang Leader Lin died, do you remember any clues, and if you deal with it today, maybe you will find something." ”

Elder Sun thought for a moment and said, "I'm too old to remember. However, if he was not buried for a long time, didn't he say that a purple spot on the back of his neck was suspicious, and later said that the purple spot had already existed, so he gave up! ”

The head of the stick shouted: "Ah! ”

And all the people looked at him.

The head of the club rushed forward with an arrow, came to the door panel of the morgue, turned the corpse of the gang leader over, and ruffled the hair from the back of the neck.

Xiao Dongshan was already standing in the forefront, but at this time, he squeezed two more steps, and saw it clearly, only to see a purpura the size of a copper coin on the Tianzhu acupoint on the back of the neck of this Lin Xiao gang leader.
