"Pan Shizhi?" The Emei faction in the back couldn't help but sigh, "Why is he here?" ”
The righteous son of Wang Shangzu, the current leader of the Beggar Gang, is regarded as the strongest martial artist among the new generation of disciples of the Beggar Gang, and among the younger generation of chivalrous, Pan Shizhi is also the person at the top. You must know that the beggar gang has been in the hands of Wang Shangzu for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to pass it on to the fortieth generation to help Wang Shangzu, after several dynasties, the beggar gang is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning, and in recent decades it has been divided into the southern faction and the northern faction.
The Sand Crocodile Gang knows that although the Beggar Gang has fallen outside the four major factions, it is also superior to their own gang. After all, people also have a numerical advantage, all over the country, and the news resources are still the most powerful, except for the imperial court, the beggar gang can be said to be the first.
What's more, Pan Shizhi's martial arts are not low, and he is about to attack, maybe these more than 20 brothers will be lost here. So he said with interest, "Since Pan Shaoxia is here, we have to give enough face." Then he waved his hand to the more than twenty people behind him, "Brothers, withdraw." ”
Soon the group disappeared.
Zeng Xuanjun saw that the gang was walking away, so he hurriedly bowed his head in front of Pan Shizhi and said, "More Brother Pan to save me." ”
Seeing that he was so polite, Pan Shizhi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, don't be polite to this brother, they are all brothers in the gang, don't care too much." ”
Zeng Xuanjun didn't raise his head, but still bowed his hand and said, "Brother Pan, maybe you misunderstood, I'm ...... I'm not a beggar. ”
"Isn't it?" Pan Shizhi bent down to look at Zeng Xuanjun's face, and then laughed again, "No, it's not, hahaha...... The beggars have always been upright and chivalrous in helping their disciples do things. Let's go into the city and drink wine and eat meat. ”
Speaking of eating meat, Zeng Xuanjun grumbled with hunger, and then said ashamedly, "Brother Pan, don't worry, I don't have any money......"
"Hahaha, trifle, go, I'll invite you to go."
The beggar next to him helped the disciple to stop him, "Elder Pan, you are ......"
Pan Shizhi didn't want them to lose their interest, "Go and go, stay and go." ”
"But ......"
"No, I know. After eating this meal, I immediately rushed to Luoyang...... Really. Then Pan Shizhi took Zeng Xuanjun and went to the city to find a restaurant.
The disciple surnamed Emei Guo said, "Why are the beggars also involved, what should I do?" ”
The woman surnamed Jian said, "Senior Brother Guo, you hurry up to Luoyang City to meet with the other senior brothers, and wait for me to fly the pigeon and pass the book at any time." Then he turned his head to look at the other two, "You hurry back to Emei to report the situation of the head, and ask the head and deputy head to instruct the next move." ”
The female disciple spoke, "It's really annoying, it could have been done with a flying pigeon, but someone had to run." ”
The woman surnamed Jian said, "No way, in the past six months, our carrier pigeons have not been able to fly out of Sichuan, and I don't know who deliberately intercepted them." ”
The male disciple said, "It must be the Qingcheng Sect or the Tang Sect, right?" They are afraid of our title of the first in Shu. ”
The woman surnamed Jian said, "Don't talk nonsense. I heard that all the carrier pigeons of all the sects in Shu can't fly out and can't fly in, don't think about it, hurry up and accompany my sister to go back quickly, and it will be safer for the two to be companions. ”
The disciple surnamed Guo Emei said, "What about you, Senior Sister Sword?" ”
"I'll stay with them."
"It's too dangerous."
The woman surnamed Jian said, "Now there is a beggar gang Pan Shizhi, he is strong in martial arts, and it is easy to expose the many people who are monitoring them nearby." I'm not stupid, and I can't do anything, you go back quickly, and do your own thing quickly. ”
After the four Emei disciples divided their labor, they each did their own thing, and the woman surnamed Jian followed Pan Zeng and the others from a distance.
When they arrived at a tavern, the two chose a corner location and ordered some wine and food, Zeng Xuanjun hadn't eaten such a good delicacy for a long time, so he was not polite and devoured it.
Pan Shizhi also laughed when he saw it, picked up the wine bowl and swallowed a bowl. He looked at Zeng Xuanjun and asked, "Brother, your surname?" ”
Zeng Xuanjun replied while eating, "My name is Zeng Xuanjun, dare to ask you, eldest brother?" ”
Pan Shizhi replied, "Pan Shizhi." ”
Thinking of the momentum of this person chopping stones just now, he hurriedly said, "Brother Pan was so powerful just now, he chopped stones with one kick." ”
"Hahaha...... I am born with divine power, and my strength has been greater than others since I was a child, and my great-brother does not seem to know martial arts, but he has sufficient internal strength, and he can also deal with the people of the Sand Crocodile Gang. It's amazing. ”
"Internal forces? Brother Pan said with a smile, I just followed a bad old man to practice some breath methods to strengthen the body. Zeng Xuanjun said, grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"But I'm also speechless, I'm just looking for some kind of Jianghu order on me, where can I find it."
When Pan Shizhi heard the news, he was also stunned, "I didn't expect the rumors in the rivers and lakes to be true, this thing really exists." "Jianghu Ling, as a person in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know, even if he gets this thing, he will be careful, but he doesn't want this brother to be outspoken. Then he said, "Regardless of whether Brother Zeng knows his whereabouts or not, it is better to mention it less in the future to avoid being killed." ”
Zeng Xuanjun's heart was indeed tight, "What Brother Pan said is true. Then he turned his eyes to look at Pan Shizhi, "Wouldn't Brother Pan be interested in this thing too?" ”
Pan Shizhi said with a smile, "It's a lie to say that anyone doesn't dare to be interested, but I have more important things, that is, to revitalize the beggar gang, let the north and south reconcile, and become the first sect in the rivers and lakes." ”
As soon as I heard Pan Shizhi's goal, it was really grand, and then I thought about myself, I was really doing nothing, as if as long as I lived, I could run away when I encountered danger, and I could make a profit if I had benefits.
Pan Shizhi raised a bowl, "Brother Zeng, let's have a drink." ”
Zeng Xuanjun hurriedly raised the wine bowl, because he forgot about it after eating, and hurriedly touched the bowl and said, "Thank you Brother Pan for saving me just now." ”
Pan Shizhi laughed and said, "Brother Zeng doesn't need to say thank you. The purpose of my beggar gang is to be chivalrous and righteous, and I didn't make a move just now, so my brother doesn't have to mind. ”
The two of them touched the bowl and drank it all...... Pan Shizhi asked, "What are Brother Zeng's plans next?" ”
Zeng Xuanjun frowned, thought for a while, and replied, "I don't even know." Oh yes, Brother Pan, where are you going after that? ”
Pan Shizhi replied seriously, "Next, I will go to the Luoyang headquarters." It's been half a year since I came out to do business, and I'm going back to see my stepfather. ”
"Your father-in-law?"
Pan Shizhi said proudly, "Well, the current leader of the beggar gang, Wang Shangzu, is my father-in-law. ”
Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes know that at this time, seeing that Zeng Xuanjun is ignorant, they also learned that he is not deeply involved in the world, so he explained.
"My grandfather was originally the deputy general of General Xu Da, because my father was a subordinate of Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di incident was also implicated. It was my father-in-law who overcame all difficulties to save me, raised me and taught me kung fu. Speaking of this, Pan Shizhi was also full of emotion.
Zeng Xuanjun said, "What about the court now...... Brother Pan, you? ”
"The affairs of the court have nothing to do with me, come and drink!"
Zeng Xuanjun thought of Luoyang City, judging from the itinerary at the moment, the fastest way to take would pass through Luoyang. And this Brother Pan is very good, if he is his companion along the way, he will be able to avoid a lot of trouble. Pan Shizhi saw him pick up the wine bowl, and he didn't move his eyes for a long time, thinking about something in a daze.
He asked again, "Brother Zeng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zeng Xuanjun came back to his senses and said embarrassedly, "I wonder if Brother Pan is convenient?" ”
"I wonder what the brothers ask for?"
"It's not ...... I went back to Sichuan, and I happened to pass through Luoyang. I don't know if it's convenient for Brother Pan to go along? ”
"You want to go back to Sichuan? Want to go to Luoyang? ”
Zeng Xuanjun realized something, and quickly blushed and said, "I will write down the expenses on the way, and I will definitely send the money when I return to Sichuan." ”
Pan Shizhi smiled, "Brother, you're joking." I see that your internal strength is strong, brother, and in time, you will definitely become a well-known figure in the martial arts. If any of the beggars in the future have any festivals or misunderstandings with their brothers, I hope that my brothers will be able to raise their noble hands in the future. ”
"Brother Pan, you're laughing......"
The two officially intersected, and the road after that went hand in hand was to go together. In order to avoid detection, the disciple surnamed Emei in the distance followed at a distance. Of course, she didn't know what they were talking about, and it wasn't until she saw that the two of them were full and on the road that they realized it was not good. The two of them saw that they were going to go together, and it would be even more difficult to make a move in the future, so now they had to follow behind the two of them for the time being.
Just walked and stopped all the way, and the two talked and laughed, and they also had a deeper understanding of each other. Although there is a gap in life, the essence of the two is the same, and the age difference is only eight or nine years old, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart conversation with each other.
Zeng Xuanjun had simplified and talked about learning exercises from Zhang Sloppy in prison, because after all, it was a boring and boring life that he had lived every day for three years. In addition, he talked about almost everything to Pan Shizhi. And Pan Shizhi also told him all the other things except for the tasks assigned to him by the beggar gang.
When talking about Zeng Xuanjun's internal exercises, Pan Shizhi saw Zeng Xuanjun's true qi wandering away and asserted that this was Taoist internal learning. Zeng Xuanjun originally wanted to teach this exercise to Pan Shizhi, but was dissuaded by Pan Shizhi.
Although the beggar gang is a pure steel yang internal force, you can enter the Buddhist martial arts and Taoist martial arts, but tracing back up, the origin of the beggar gang martial arts also belongs to Shaolin, which belongs to the branch of Buddhism. If you rashly learn Taoist martial arts, it doesn't matter in terms of moves, but the internal forces will contradict each other. The two internal forces will interact with each other to protect and contend with each other, and at least they will stagnate, or at worst they will go mad and die violently. So he thanked Zeng Xuanjun for his good intentions, this exercise can't be learned.
After the two of them got together, behind them were the seven or eight beggar disciples holding bamboo joints. Not to mention other small sects and factions that received the news, even the Emei faction's sword surnamed woman didn't have a better chance. In this way, after more than ten days, the two finally came to the prosperous Luoyang City.
This place does not need to be introduced too much, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the Central Plains, and it is also the location of the chief helm of the beggar gang. Pan Shizhi also grew up here when he was a child, and he couldn't be more familiar with this place. He asked Zeng Xuanjun to live well, eat and drink enough to rest before continuing on the road, so he couldn't wait to take Zeng Xuanjun to the city.
But as soon as he entered Luoyang City, he found that something was wrong. This is the headquarters of the Luoyang beggar gang, and there will be three or five beggars begging at the main intersections of the city, in addition to begging, the most important thing is to sentry to collect first-hand information. Especially on the inside of the city gate, there should be several people gathered. Why are there only two beggars today, and these two beggars are wearing white cloths on their heads, is there something in vain?
Pan Shizhi hurriedly came to the two beggars by the city gate, squatted down and saw the beggar with dull eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
When the beggar saw that it was Pan Shizhi, he said with tears in his eyes, "Elder Pan, are you back......?"
Pan Shizhi said anxiously, "What happened?" ”
The beggar cried and said, "A week ago, I was assassinated...... Today...... Today, before dawn, the man has died...... The news was released just now......"
When Pan Shizhi heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, like a muffled thunder exploding on his head. Dead father? He couldn't believe it.
Zeng Xuanjun asked, "Where is the remains of the gang leader?" ”
"It's ...... Lotus Lane at the Helm"
After hearing this, Pan Shizhi was like a mad eagle, and immediately rushed to the destination. Zeng Xuanjun and a few beggars behind him also hurriedly followed.
