Chapter 8: The Tigers
Pi Yingxiong's personality is very similar to his tall and strong figure, not only is he not afraid, but he arouses the anger in his heart, and said: "This tiger gang has a big appetite, and it is really overwhelming to hit the head of our Xiping Mansion with the idea!" As people from Xiping Province, we should join hands to deal with it together, and let them have no return this time. β
At this time, Qingyang expressed his doubts again, and said: "There is still a problem here, if the Tiger Gang really wants to attack our Xiping Mansion, wouldn't it be easier to defeat each one?" Why bring us together? Aren't you afraid that we will join forces? β
"Then who knows, maybe the Tiger Gang is afraid that it will be too troublesome to deal with them one by one, so they will directly serve us in a pot, and Xiping Mansion will become their territory in the future." Pi Yingxiong said casually.
For the question of the little Taoist priest of Qingyang, no one can answer, before the mystery is revealed, everything is just speculation, Master Songhe Lao Dao cleared his throat and said: "Whether it is the Tiger Gang or not, as a member of Xiping Mansion, at this time, we should work together to tide over the difficulties, instead of guessing so randomly, it is better to discuss how to deal with it in advance." β
Songhe's old words are very reasonable, coupled with his status as a senior in the rivers and lakes, Master Empty Silence and the father and daughter of the Pi family have no opinion on this proposal, and are about to discuss what to do next, but at this time, a discordant voice sounded, and Qian Banxian said in a trembling voice: "This matter is evil, my Qian Banxian is small and weak and can't afford to mix, so I will leave." β
After Qian Banxian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, and the Pi Yingxiong next to him was angry, and shouted: "Qian Banxian, are you still not from Xiping Mansion?" Is there any backbone in the rivers and lakes? Now that the catastrophe in Xiping Mansion is coming, you actually escaped? β
The Qian Banxian kept at his feet and said, "What is the backbone?" My Qian Banxian is a stall teller, naturally I don't have the so-called backbone of your people in the rivers and lakes, and it is important to save my life at this time. β
Qian Banxian said that he would leave, ignoring the life-saving grace of the old Songhe and the master of the silent sky just now, he had no righteousness at all, no wonder he would mix with a tomb robber like Du Chengjin, and there was a dispute because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, this guy is a complete villain.
Qian Banxian's retreat also caused a chain reaction, Du Chengjin didn't have much confidence, seeing Qian Banxian retreating, he also turned around and said: "I heard that the Tiger Gang is domineering and cruel, if it falls into their hands, life and death will definitely be unpredictable, forget it, I'll go hide too." β
There are only five groups of people in total, and before they start to discuss things, there are two groups of people who are afraid, this is a group of rabble, the people in the rivers and lakes are really unreliable, Songhe Lao Dao looked at the master of empty silence and said: "Old monk, what are you going to do?" β
Master Empty Silence said: "Since the fellow Jianghu people in Xiping Mansion are unwilling to take care of things, what is the origin of me as an outsider?" Forget it, let's go back to my Qinglong Temple to meditate. β
Everyone's attitude made Songhe Lao Dao very helpless, so he had to shake his head and said: "What the master said is that we are both monks, what are we involved in?" It doesn't matter what kind of Tiger Gang and Dragon Gang he is, he dominates his rivers and lakes, I worship my Sanqing Patriarch, and no one can control anyone. β
Qian Banxian and Du Chengjin are leaving, Master Empty Silence and Songhe Lao Dao don't want to take care of things, and the rest of Pi Yingxiong is out of the way, this party broke up in a blink of an eye, Qingyang shook his head secretly, and the people in the rivers and lakes are really a group of rabble.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the foot of the mountain: "The Tiger Gang Tiger Gang leader has arrived, why don't you hurry up to greet the fellow Jianghu people in Xiping Mansion?" β
The Tigers! Sure enough, it's the Tigers, if they block it, won't everyone's lives be buried here? The faces of everyone present changed drastically, and Qian Banxian and Du Chengjin flashed in shape, fleeing in the left and right directions respectively.
They had only escaped a few dozen feet before they retreated back at a faster pace, because in the direction they had fled, a sturdy man was slowly approaching. Not only in the left and right directions, but also in front and behind people, and there are still two people in front.
There are people on the left and right sides of the front and back, so it can be seen that the Tigers are fully prepared, so they will prevent them from escaping from other directions. Now that everyone has been surrounded by the Tigers, it is unlikely that they will want to escape, so they can only stand still for the time being to see what the Tigers want to do.
The five members of the Tiger Gang seem to be five brothers, and they all look similar, but there is a slight difference in age, they are all around fifty, and their strength is also between them. Four of them were all dressed in black suits, but the oldest one in front of them was wearing a brocade robe, and this person was the tiger leader of the Tiger Gang.
Although Qingyang's strength is not very good, but after following the master for nearly ten years, he still has vision, and judging from the pace and breath of their walking, the strength of any of these five people is not much lower than that of the master and the master of emptiness. That is to say, if the two sides fight, the master and the master of the lonely sky can only deal with one person, Pi Yingxiong, Qian Banxian, Du Chengjin, the two of them can only deal with one, and the rest of themselves and Pi Youfeng and Xuanzhu little monks can only add to the chaos, even if everyone works together, they are not the opponents of this Tiger Gang, it seems that this time it is really a big disaster.
The people of the Tiger Gang slowly pressed up, and the other four people still occupied a position, guarding against the people in Xiping Mansion in the middle. The brocade-robed man slowly paced two steps forward, hugged his fists and said: "I, the leader of the Tiger Gang, Hu Zhensong, led the four hall masters Hu Zhentai, Hu Zhenhua, Hu Zhenheng, and Hu Zhenheng to see the same people in the rivers and lakes of Xiping Mansion. β
Everyone is still surrounded by the people of the Tiger Gang, all of them are in a posture of doing something if they don't agree, even if Hu Zhensong speaks politely, no one will be naΓ―ve to think that this guy is here to visit the door, everyone in Xiping Mansion has a cold face, and no one answers.
Seeing that Hu Zhensong was cold, he laughed awkwardly a few times and said, "What? Looking at everyone like this, it seems that the arrival of our Tigers is very unwelcome. β
Nonsense, you're calling the door and you want everyone to welcome you? What a shame! Although he didn't want to deal with this pretentious Hu Zhensong, but Qingyang's master and apprentice, as the master of Xipingguan, couldn't do it if he didn't speak, so Master Songhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Tiger gang leader, I don't know if you Tiger Gang masters are all out, what are you doing in Xipingguan?" β
Seeing Songhe's old way, Nahu Zhensong smiled and said, "It turned out to be a real person of Songhe, I took the liberty to disturb and offended a lot, please forgive me." β
Master Songhe sneered and said, "You have sent people to surround us, what's the use of seeing us?" I'm afraid that the thing that stole my Songhe's name and tricked them into coming to Xipingguan was also done by your Tiger Gang, right? β
