Chapter Twenty-Five: The Truth Revealed

Leng Xiaoxiao said happily: "Brother Ye, don't shirk it." The beggar gang is the first big gang in the Central Plains martial arts, the disciples in the gang are all over the world, and the influence is great, if the gang leader is made by the unscrupulous, it will not be a good thing for the whole world, today Lin and Ma The two elders so sincerely invite you to tie the beggar gang, I believe that everyone here has no objection. Everyone nodded yes, with a cold little face, and pretended to be serious: "Don't you look down on the beggars?" Although they are beggars, what they do is chivalrous, and no one in this world dares to be disrespectful to the beggars. ”

Ye Suiyun hurriedly explained: "How can I look down on the beggars, it's really that I am young and ignorant, and I don't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that it will delay the big thing." ”

Tang Aotian sighed and said, "If you don't understand, you can naturally ask, with Elder Lin and Elder Ma here, when something happens, they are all old rivers and lakes, and they will give you ideas, Ye Shaoxia really doesn't have to worry about this." I think that the old man was also a weak crown and took over the position of the head of the door at a young age, and he is not safe and secure to this day. Everyone smiled and nodded.

Grandma Ye heard the cause and effect, and called Ye Suiyun to her side, and when the others saw that the ancestors and grandchildren were about to speak, they all slowly walked into the distance, and Grandma Ye whispered: "Ah Yun, you have practiced this good skill now, and you should use this to help others, how can you retreat." No matter how strong a person's ability is, it is better to work with the same heart and one mind. You can only play a big role when you are a helper, right? Ye Suiyun listened to her grandmother's words, but she was still hesitant.

Grandma Ye said: "It's good to help others when a person has great skills, but it's even more remarkable that you can save people when your skills are low. ”

Ye Suiyun felt strange in his heart, he was told by his grandmother to be less likely to go into trouble, to talk less about family affairs, and even the palm routines he learned were not allowed to be revealed in front of others. I have the impression that my grandmother is a timid and cautious old man, and now she is encouraging herself to go to the leader of the world's largest gang? I couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, why do you want me to be the leader of this gang?" It's not like you. ”

Grandma Ye was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and lowered her voice: "The beggar gang is a martial arts faction, if you can use their strength, maybe you still have hope to help your parents avenge." ”

Ye Suiyun's heart was shocked, he grabbed his grandmother's sleeve with both hands, and asked excitedly: "You never want to talk about my parents, you always say that you want to wait for me to grow up, now you should always tell me who they are, right?" Where are they now? In a stirring mood, he shouted out, startling everyone in the distance. Grandma Ye sighed, but she didn't speak.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng groaned slightly, and asked Ma Tianji to withdraw from the broken temple with the gang, and Leng Xiaoxiao and Tang Aotian also ordered their subordinates to withdraw. In an instant, in addition to Ye Suiyun's ancestors and grandsons, only Tang Aotian's father and daughter, Lin Cheng, Leng Xiaoxiao and Qi Yufeng were left in the crowded Laojun Temple.

Grandma Ye was still silent, as if she was pondering something, Tang Aotian looked at it and said slowly: "If the old man guessed correctly, Ye Shaoxia's father should be Nie Xiaotian, the hero of the mighty rivers and lakes twenty years ago." A few young people looked curious, but they didn't react much, because they had never heard the name. Lin Cheng was surprised and inexplicable.

Grandma Ye was also surprised, but gradually calmed down, sighed again, turned to Ye Suiyun and said, "Yes, Ah Yun, your father is Nie Xiaotian." After that, he turned his head and asked, "I don't know how Master Tang learned that the old body has always concealed this secret and never revealed it to outsiders?" Ye Suiyun's face was confused, and he couldn't remember where he seemed to have heard this name for a while.

Tang Aotian said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't have to worry too much, just because just now I heard Ye Shaoxia say the name of the palm technique to that Qin Lei." Grandma Ye nodded, thinking that this was the case. I only heard Tang Aotian continue: "As long as you are a little older, who doesn't know that the world's first palm technique, 'Descending Dragon Palm', is a unique skill created by Nie Xiaotian back then, if it is not his descendants or disciples, it will be difficult to learn." Therefore, the old man speculated wildly, and he guessed correctly. A few people suddenly realized.

Tang Aotian thought for a while, and said: "The Dragon Descending Palm is the most rigid and fierce martial arts, I never imagined that Ye Shaoxia could find a different way, and he could form his own style by merging soft power, but the power is not inferior to the fierce force." Ye Shaoxia can really be regarded as a martial arts wizard. On the side, Ye Suiyun was shy, Tang Xiao bumped him with his elbow and said, "Brother Ye family, such a powerful kung fu, when will you teach me?" Ye Suiyun looked at her grandmother, and Grandma Ye said: "Everyone in the world who has learned this skill, except for your father, is you, and what to do with it is up to you." Tang Xiao clapped his hands.

Qi Yufeng's face was full of frost, but he couldn't attack, Tang Aotian said: "Laughing nonsense, the dragon palm is strong and difficult to overcome, how can you be a little girl who can learn this." Tang Xiao grimaced, not daring to say more.

Lin Cheng was surprised: "I really didn't expect that the gang leader was actually a descendant of Nie Daxia, Nie Daxia had a great kindness to my beggar gang, and the whole gang had the heart to repay the favor but couldn't find any trace of his old man, please let the old lady know, grateful." So saying, he bowed down.

Grandma Ye said: "Don't be polite to Lin Zhuangshi, and the old body doesn't know where he is." He said to Ye Suiyun: "Actually, I am not your grandmother, but your mother's servant." Ye Suiyun's mind was blank, and he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

Grandma Ye continued: "Nineteen years ago, when you were not yet one year old, one day your father and mother went out and never came home, but asked someone to send a note, the letter said that the situation was dangerous, let me take you to escape quickly, incognito, don't let people find you." They have not been heard from since. I don't think I'm alive anymore. The crowd was silent. Grandma Ye said: "I took you to live in Xiaozheng Village next to Hangzhou City, because of the Tibetan Sword Villa, most of the people there are surnamed Ye, I changed your surname to cover people's eyes and ears and not attract attention."

Ye Suiyun looked sad, stood up and said, "No matter what, you are my grandmother." ”

Lin Cheng said: "Back then, the 'Fenghua Valley First Battle' beggar gang and the Tang Sect were ambushed and almost wiped out, the Yin Gang Leader was nowhere to be found, and the Tang Sect Master also lost his legs. Tang Aotian's face changed color when he heard this, and said, "Yes, if it wasn't for Nie Daxia to rescue him that day, the old man might not even have to stay for his life." Lin Cheng nodded and continued: "Later, Nie Daxia disappeared, and we also thought that he should be no longer alive, so every few years, the Tang Sect made an appointment with the beggar gang to pay tribute to Nie Daxia, and this time it was about in Junshan." ”

Only then did the rest of the people know the true purpose of the gathering of the two major forces. Lin Cheng said: "Who wants to be used by Yin Fang, colluding with gangsters, and vainly trying to seize the position of the gang leader in one fell swoop, fortunately, God has eyes, and the trick was actually Ye Shao... Destroyed by the gang leader. Seeing that Ye Suiyun was still depressed and difficult to open his mind, knowing that he was still immersed in the bad news of his parents, Lin Cheng comforted: "The helper doesn't have to be sad, as long as we uphold Nie Daxia's legacy in the future, act chivalrous and righteous, and help the suffering people, Nie Daxia will definitely be happy." ”

Grandma Ye also nodded and said: "Yes, Ah Yun, your father has been an upright man all his life, and he never cares about gains and losses when helping others, he once said, 'As long as your heart is peaceful and happy, where can you care about the results'." ”

When Ye Suiyun heard the last few words, a lightning bolt flashed through his heart, and he suddenly figured out something. I don't want to cause trouble, just because the results of my own experiences over the years have not been good. But according to my father's words, what I really gained was the satisfaction after that righteous act, and I never cared about what I got, which is the true nature of a husband.

After figuring out the reason, Ye Suiyun only felt that his heart was light and bright at the moment, and the gloom in his heart had been swept away recently, he exhaled a long breath and said to Lin Cheng: "Brother Lin, if I don't do well, I will rely on you to help me." There is also one thing, if there is a more suitable person, I must be allowed to transfer the position of helper, and I must not be forced to do so. As soon as he spoke, everyone understood that he had agreed to be the leader of the beggar gang.

Lin Cheng was overjoyed, and loudly beckoned Ma Tianji, who was outside the temple, to lead the gang to approach, and they all knelt on one knee and said, "Obey the orders of the gang master, don't dare to disobey." Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, you don't have to do such a salute in the future, you are all seniors." Speaking of which, he couldn't go on, he knew that the Jianghu sect had its own rules, and the salute to him was because of his status, not his age. He said aloud: "My first order is to help the people abolish the kneeling ceremony, and to close their fists. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Lin Cheng glanced at everyone and said: "What the helper said is right, the brothers are all poor people, and they must respect each other more, and they don't have to kneel on one knee in the future." We will obey the Lord's command. All the beggars felt justified, and the new gang leader was benevolent and righteous, shouting to obey the order.

Lin Cheng said: "The helper needs a special ceremony to take office, and when the auspicious day is chosen, I will tell my fellow martial artists and invite them to participate in the inauguration ceremony." ”

Ye Suiyun said with a headache: "It's still so troublesome, hey, Brother Lin, you can do it." He thought that these rules had been set by others a long time ago, and he didn't want to object too much, anyway, they would just do whatever they asked me to do. Suddenly, everyone looked at him and smiled, thinking that they had never seen such a troubled helper.

Ye Suiyun thought that his family was able to reunite thanks to Yu Rui's great grace of the Pure Yang Concept, and suddenly remembered what he overheard in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and told everyone one by one. and planned to leave for Chunyang immediately, first, to inform Yu Rui to prepare early, and secondly, to personally thank her for her great kindness.

Tang Aotian said with a worried face: "I didn't expect Xie Yunliu to return to the Central Plains, this matter is indeed amazing, it is best for the Ye Gang to inform the Pure Yang Sect, while there is still time, I will finish the worship ceremony." Ye Suiyun has become the leader of the gang, and his status has been virtually raised to the same level as Tang Aotian, so Tang Aotian has also changed his name.

Everyone set up a desk, put up the spiritual seat, and stepped forward one by one to salute and pay homage. Leng Xiaoxiao, Qi Yufeng and others all knew that Nie Xiaotian was a martial arts senior, and he was Ye Suiyun's father, so he naturally worshipped according to the gifts of his juniors.

Leng Xiaoxiao came to Ye Suiyun's side and said: "Brother Ye, after you take charge of the beggar gang, you will definitely be famous in the rivers and lakes, I wish you a vigorous career in the future." He also said: "This goes to Chunyang, I hope you have everything going well, if you have someone to help, I will rush to help day and night." Ye Suiyun was quite moved and nodded vigorously. After Leng Xiaoxiao saluted everyone, he immediately led a group of soldiers of the Heavenly Bow Battalion to return home.

Lin Cheng pulled Ye Suiyun aside and said: "Gang leader, there are four elders in the beggar gang, in addition to his subordinates and Elder Ma, there is also the elder Lei Ye'an, who is known as the god of thunder in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are strong, and the gang leader will see him in the future." There is also the elder Zhan Yi, who was unable to attend the meeting of Junshan this time, and his subordinates should inform the helper, so as not to make any mistakes. ”

Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "I can take care of it, Brother Lin rest assured." ”

Tang Xiao knew that Ye Suiyun was going to Chunyang alone, and he had been thinking about how to open his mouth and follow, Tang Aotian next to him saw his daughter bowing his head and asked bitterly: "Xiao'er, what's so sad, you might as well talk about it, maybe I will give you ideas for my father." ”

Tang Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his head and said: "Daddy, my daughter has never been to the Pure Yang Sect, and people say that the mountains and rivers there are beautiful like immortal dwellings, can you allow me and Brother Ye to go to see and see together?" ”

Tang Aotian said: "It's cold and snowy there, and the mountains are very steep, so what's there to see?" Besides, there will be bad people to make trouble, and it is not very peaceful, so what are you going to follow? ”

Tang Xiao was disappointed for a while, and immediately his mind raced, and he wanted to think of some reason to convince his father. Ye Suiyun on the side saw her expression, and said: "Don't worry, if Miss Tang wants to go together, I should do my best to protect her." Besides, I'm just going to report the news, not to provoke people, so there will be no danger. ”

When Tang Aotian heard this, he saw his daughter's exaggerated disappointment on her face, her heart softened, and she thought that Ye Suiyun was strong in martial arts, and with him, he should be able to keep Tang smiling safe, so he nodded and agreed.

Tang smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy." Seeing Ye Suiyun on the other side winking slyly at this side, Tang Xiao snorted at him and ran out.

The more Qi Yufeng listened to it next to him, the more he didn't taste it, but when he saw that his junior sister was happy, how could he object. He made up his mind that no matter where Tang Xiao went, he would follow her, and he would never let her run away with the kid surnamed Ye, and he would always protect his junior sister by himself. He didn't care about how others exaggerated Ye Suiyun's kung fu, but he still believed in his own ability more. Although Ye Suiyun has become the leader of the beggar gang, he is 'that kid' in his heart.

Ye Suiyun knew that this cold person was also on the road with him, and his interest in his heart increased greatly, he liked friends by nature, and when he saw an arrogant person like Qi Yufeng, he was curious, and he knew that his martial arts were extremely high, and he had a response along the way, which was reassuring.

After that, Ye Suiyun settled his grandmother in his residence on the shore of Dongting Lake, and said that he would rush back when he was done. Early the next morning, Ye Suiyun, Tang Xiao and Qi Yufeng set off.

Along the way, Ye Suiyun and Tang joked non-stop, each telling interesting things when they were children, and talking about fun, the two laughed, but Qi Yufeng just followed behind and didn't say a word. Ye Suiyun asked every time, Qi Yufeng just kept a straight face, and rarely answered a few words, Ye Suiyun was even more strange in his heart: "Isn't there a little happiness in this person's childhood?" And Tang Xiao knew that Qi Yufeng's personality was few words, so it was not strange.

The three of them walked in a hurry for more than ten days, and according to the distance, they were close to the boundary of Chang'an, thinking that they were not far from the Pure Yang Sect. On this day, I went straight to the west of the sun, and I didn't see a place to stay, surrounded by dead trees and stumps, Ye Suiyun thought: "I and Daqi are nothing, but we can't let Miss Tang sleep in the open, we have to find a place to live quickly." After a few days of getting along, Ye Suiyun knew that Qi Yufeng was half a year older than himself, he was a casual person, although he was disciplined by his grandmother since he was a child, he didn't dare to show it in front of the elderly, and he didn't have so many rules when he got along with his peers for a long time. In addition, Qi Yufeng is always cold and relative, so in order to ease the relationship between them, he is called 'Da Qi', not Qi Shaoxia. Although Qi Yufeng didn't like it in his heart, since his junior sister also agreed with this title, he didn't care about it anymore.

Ye Suiyun said: "Daqi, look at this place... Before he finished speaking, he saw a person lying on the ground face down on the side of the road in front of him, Ye Suiyun just hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help, Tang Xiao grabbed him from behind and said: "Brother Ye can't touch it, this person is already dead, look at his condition should be infected with a disease, be careful not to be infected." ”

Ye Suiyun secretly called it a fluke, thinking that it was good that Tang Xiao was there, otherwise he didn't know what was going to happen. Continuing to move forward, I saw people who died on the side of the road from time to time, and the three of them were worried in their hearts, Ye Suiyun said: "A few years ago, I also saw a lot of dead people on the side of the road in Luodao, but they were all white bones, how could it be so scary here, these people looked like they had just died." ”

Suddenly, I heard someone chanting under the tree in front of me: "When can I be young and strong, my sideburns are already gray." Visit the old half as a ghost, exclaim enthusiastic bowels! ”

The three of them heard the human voice, and their hearts were slightly relieved, and when they got closer, they saw that it was a scholar in his thirties, ragged and extremely depressed, leaning against the tree and closing his eyes and singing.

Ye Suiyun went over and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Tai is polite, the three of us have just arrived here and want to find a place to spend the night, can you give us some advice?" When he saw that the other party was dressed as a scholar, he spoke a lot more solemnly.

The scholar glanced at them, then turned back and said, "The plague is rampant here, and there are dangers everywhere, so I think you three young people should hurry back the way you came." Ye Suiyun and Qi Yufeng both praised Tang and laughed in their hearts, and they could see at a glance that it was a plague.

The scholar said to himself: "Hey, people's hearts are not ancient, the world is unpredictable, and it is not the ordinary people who suffer in the end, but it depends on whether you die early or I die early." ”

Ye Suiyun heard that the down-and-out scholar's tone was good, as if he had something to say, and asked curiously: "Brother Taiyu is sad and angry, but is there anything you can't think of?" ”

The scholar glanced at Ye Suiyun, shook his head and said, "What can't I think of, it's just that I pity the people in this world." The government is dark, how can it ever care about their life and death? On weekdays, he squeezes and sucks the marrow, but when it is critical, he does nothing. Those who have skills in the rivers and lakes are also, and those who claim to be righteous one day are more than they do. Like the plague everywhere here, who has asked for help. Seeing the people here dying one after another, who can be happy in their hearts. ”

Ye Suiyun nodded again and again when he heard this, understanding that although this scholar spoke with grief and indignation, he was really an ancient man with the world in his heart, and asked, "May I ask my brother's surname?" ”

The scholar replied: "In Xia Du Fu, the words are beautiful. ”
