The hall house is the place to receive guests, and it is also the largest room in this garden, the furnishings in the hall house are very exquisite, a row of wooden chairs and coffee tables are placed on both sides of the house, and there is a large Taishi chair at the innermost end of the hall, a large flat is hung on it, and the plaque is written with three golden words, Thousand Hands Hall.

The courtyard outside the hall was facing each other at the moment, on one side were a dozen or so people from the Thousand Hands Gate, on the other side there were eight people, five people were clustered around one big and one small two, and another person was standing in front of the team and confronting the Thousand Hands Gate.

Among these eight people, five of them know Zhang Qilu, the wicked woman Huang Erniang who looks quite charming, the middle-aged man with a beard on his face is their boss Zhao Da, the sharp-beaked monkey cheek-cheeked Tu San, a hunchbacked old man is the fourth uncle, and a silly big Niu Wu. These five people are clearly the five people in the basement of the factory in Zhaojiacun.

The two people who were surrounded by them in the middle, a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall or short, neither fat nor thin, wearing a patched but very clean gray tunic. There is also a person who is more than one meter tall and more than six meters tall, and his dirty face can't see his appearance clearly, and he can't tell his age.

Zhang Qilu and others looked at the people at the door of the hall, Xu Qianqian saw that the person in front of the door who was negotiating with everyone in the door suddenly became a little anxious, leaned down and said to Zhang Qilu in the wheelchair, "That person is our senior brother Xu Qian." ”

When Zhang Qilu and the others heard this, they looked carefully at this time, the senior brother Xu Qian was twenty-four or five years old, and he still looked like a tall and thin figure of the standard Thousand Hands Gate, and his appearance was unexpectedly very upright, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a well-defined face, which did not look like a person who deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors.

Zhang Qilu said to Xu Qianqian: "You go and see what they want to do first." ”

Liu Silong said behind Zhang Qilu

"That guy is amazing.".

"Who?" Zhang Qilu asked

"The man in the gray tunics."

"What's so amazing?"

"There are six elders in the beggar gate, namely the Elder of the Torture Hall, the Elder of the Palm Bowl, the Elder of the Palm Stick, the Elder of the Gong Transmission, the Leader of the Decree, and the Protector of the Dharma. This person should be one of them. ”

Zhang Qilu became interested, and he has always been very interested in things on the rivers and lakes.

"Where can you see that he is an elder of the beggar gate."

Liu Silong has been following Master Jing Rifei all the year round, and she still knows a lot about the things on the rivers and lakes, and she also enjoys the feeling of Zhang Qilu asking her for advice, so she straightened her waist and said

"Since you have asked me, I will tell you. Do you see the stick in his hand? It is called the deer tendon rattan snake stick, and it is also called the golden hoop stick on the rivers and lakes, which is the symbol of the elders of the beggar gate. Looking at this posture, a few of the people in Zhaojia Town should also be beggars. ”

Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently, Liu Silong's small chest stood taller at this time, and he continued to show off

"The so-called eyebrow is a stick, chest is a stick, and the stick in his hand has a source. First of all, a copper rod thick with a little finger should be prepared, and then a deer tendon and a rattan called King Kong rattan should be used, after brewing, steaming, drying and other processes, and then wound on a fine copper rod, and then placed in a special mold to shape, and then it will take several years and dozens of steps. When the stick is made, it is invulnerable, and water and fire are invulnerable. A stick can be broken into gold. ”

Zhang Qilu looked at the deer tendon rattan snake stick in the man's hand, about four feet five inches long, with a twist-like appearance, exuding a purple-red luster, and two fist-sized round copper bumps at both ends of the stick. It looks a bit like a golden hoop stick.

The confrontation continued, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.

"Their elder in charge of the bowl is in charge of the beggars' property like my master, I have seen it before, the two elders of the handicap and the law enforcement are only in charge of internal affairs, and generally do not come out to take care of external affairs, and the elders of the Gong Gong will not come out if there are beggars with life-and-death matters, and this gray-clothed person is either a herald leader or a Dharma protector leader."

It turned out that Zhang Qilu had a stronger sense of recognition of Liu Silong, and what this girl knew and learned was definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface.

Liu Silong continued: "Look at the hunchbacked little old man, the two-foot-five-inch long beating stick he holds in his hand, and they are divided into classes by sticks. ”

Li Xiaoxiao said on the side at this time, "Nonsense, the beggars on TV are hanging bags." The Nine Bags Disciples are elders. ”

"Maybe it was before." Liu Silong knew that Li Xiaoxiao was obsessed with watching TV series, so he casually perfunctory a sentence to her, and continued

"Now the thing that distinguishes the beggar class is the stick, after the first few years of recognition, the stick elder will give a short stick of one foot and five inches, and the one who gets the stick is called Huazi, which is considered to be really entering the beggar's door, and some years and status use the old man's two-foot-five-inch stick, when he can manage a place, he uses a Qimei stick, and the master of a province uses a longer flower stick."

Zhang Qilu looked at the courtyard again, that Zhao Da used a Qi Mei stick, and Tu San, Niu Wu and the evil woman used short sticks.

"Don't underestimate these sticks, they are all serious weapons. They have been passed down from generation to generation, I don't know how many hundred years have passed, and the materials and skills of making sticks are very particular, and the new sticks must be soaked in tung oil, and then they must be used and maintained regularly. These are the treasures of their beggars. ”

The quarrel in the courtyard became more and more intense, and Zhang Qilu vaguely heard the senior brother shouting to Xu Qianqian, let the master come out.

At this time, Senior Brother Zhang came to Zhang Qilu's side and said respectfully to him, "Little Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, let me come and tell you, Senior Brother wants to see our Master, what do you think." ”

Zhang Qilu: "Senior Brother Zhang, what do they still want to do?" ”

Senior Brother Zhang was obviously a little angry, and he said angrily: "This uncompetitive Xu Qian, in the door, the master treats him best, and the master doesn't stop him when he leaves, but now he brings people from the beggar door to ask us for people." ”

"Who do you want?" Zhang Qilu asked

"Let's hand over the Xiang sisters."

Xu Qian, who was on the field, said at this time: "Little junior sister, you let the master come out to speak." ”

"Master, his old man is not available now, he will not come out. Whatever you want, I'll just come down. Xu Qianqian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly

"You? Have you done the Lord? ”

"Just say it."

"We are only here for two things this time, if the first master doesn't come out, it's okay, he wants to occupy the position of the door master like this, let him hand over the [mirage] in the door. The second is to hand over the two girls with the surname and several other children who were arrested a few days ago. ”

"Impossible, the treasure inside the door can't be handed over to you. If you want those children, don't even think about it, they are all abducted children, we have rescued people, how can we send sheep into the mouth of the tiger again. ”

"If it doesn't work, then let's follow the rules."

"What a rule."

"Let's have a fight, then."
