Volume I, Chapter 22

Around midnight, Lu He was suddenly awakened by a slight sound of tiles on the roof. He jumped up from the bed and thought to himself, could it be that the cats in the barren mountains and mountains were making trouble?

was suspicious in his heart, but he heard a few high-fives from outside the temple gate, and after a while, the courtyard also remembered a few sounds.

Lu He was taken aback, and knew that someone was surrounding the temple, but he didn't know where it came from. Could it be the arrester or the officers and soldiers in the Lin'an Mansion?

At this time, someone on the roof also clapped a few times, and then heard a few "whirring" sounds, and it seemed that two or three people jumped from the roof into the courtyard of the temple.

Someone said loudly: "In the beggar gang to clean clothes sent Cheng to the east to break into the treasure temple at night, I came to meet the Jade Sword Woman Fan senior, don't blame you for offending!"

"Jade Sword Woman Fan senior?" Lu Ji Daqi said in his heart: "Could it be that she came to find the temple to wish her mother-in-law? It turns out that she is known as the Jade Sword Woman in the rivers and lakes?" quietly got up, tiptoed to the main hall, and hid behind the statue of King Yue E to look out secretly.

The main entrance to the main hall was not closed, and the situation in the courtyard could still be seen. By the moonlight, I saw three men in brocade robes standing in the courtyard. One of them was tall and thin. The other two are slightly chunky. It was the tall and thin man who claimed to be called Cheng Xiangdong.

Although Lu Ji couldn't see the faces of the three people clearly in the night, he could vaguely recognize that they seemed to be the brocade-robed men he had seen in the Drunken Immortal Tower during the day. I thought to myself, it turned out that they were members of the Beggar Gang's Clean-Clothes Faction.

Cheng Xiangdong saw that no one answered in the house, so he raised his voice and said, "Beggars help Cheng Xiangdong to ask Senior Fan of the Jade Sword Woman!"

Before the voice fell, I saw a figure in the main hall flashing, and Fan Baiyu, the mother-in-law of the temple, arrived at the door of the main hall and said coldly: "Master Cheng is so hard-working, is it really just to ask for peace? "The speed of his body is really incredible.

Hall Master Cheng clasped his hands into fists, gave a slight salute, and said, "I won't tell you, there is still a reluctant invitation below!"

Fan Baiyu, the mother-in-law of the temple, said: "In the middle of the night, you brought so many people to surround the "Baozhong Yanfu Temple" that the old man was taking care of, and you are not afraid of blaspheming Yue Wumu Yingling?

Cheng Xiangdong shook again: "Don't dare! I am also helpless and unavoidable, and I hope that my predecessors will be thoughtful!"

Fan Baiyu sneered and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, let it go quickly, don't disturb the old body's dreams, if it weren't for the sake of the Ma gang leader...... Hmph!"

Cheng Xiangdong said: "I took the liberty to come here tonight, but it was really for the three guests in the temple. “

"What?" Fan Baiyu's face changed color and he said sharply.

Lu Ji thought to himself, it was really for us, but I have nothing to do with the beggar gang, why did they come to the door, this is strange?

Cheng Xiangdong said: "Senior Fan, do you know who the young descendant is?"

Fan Baiyu said: "I don't know." Could it be that he has an inseparable relationship with your gang?"

Cheng Xiangdong said: "This is not true. He's a guest the beggars are looking for!"

Fan Baiyu said: "That kid is not stinky, he is just an eight-armed apprentice of Nezha Huo Zhenshan, what virtue can he have? He has actually become a distinguished guest of the No. 1 gang in Jiangnan?

Cheng Xiangdong said: "The identity of this son is related to the society of the country, and it is a secret of Tianda, so it is inconvenient to say it clearly." “

Lu He heard him say that his identity was related to the country, and he was even more curious. Suddenly, I remembered what the master said when he handed over the half of the jade to him last night, saying that he wanted to hand over the jade to the beggar gang leader, so that he could know his identity. Don't...... Reaching out to his arms to touch the half of the jade pei, who knew that the tentacles were empty, and then he realized that he had lost the jade pei. This surprise was not trivial, and it made him break out in a cold sweat. I thought that this is over, such an important thing, but I accidentally lost it, where can I find it now?" and remembered that before going to bed, Miaozhu's mother-in-law had said that her surname was Zhao, and she was even more confused. Did my mother-in-law know who I was? Why didn't I know it? The more I thought about it, the more I felt in the clouds.

Fan Baiyu smiled coldly again, and said: "What a joke, just with a sentence of 'a big secret', if it weren't for the presence of the leader of the beggar gang in person, just a sentence of 'a big secret', how can you teach me to believe you?"

Cheng Xiangdong said: "If you believe it or not, it can't be up to you." Don't hide it from the predecessors, the beggars have always been determined to do things. “

Fan Baiyu laughed and said, "Hall Master Cheng, you must also know that I, Fan Baiyu, are as good as I say, there is no one you are looking for here, so you better leave quickly." “

Cheng Xiangdong smiled and said, "I can't say it, I have to offend it." He turned his head to the man with a scar on his face beside him and said, "Lord Wang Xiang, it is up to you to learn the 'Mandarin Duck Knife' of Senior Fan." “

Scar-faced Wang Xiang said, "Yes." “

Fan Baiyu snorted coldly and said, "It's good to dare to be kind." The old body has not moved its muscles and bones for a long time, and today I can accompany you to practice!" With a shake of his arms, there were suddenly two more cold and shining mandarin duck short knives in his hands.

Lu He thought to himself, this temple Zhu mother-in-law is known as the "Jade Sword Woman", but the blade is a mandarin duck double knife, which does not match the real name. It's just that I don't know who is more clever than Shi Niang's Xue Men's "Wind Splashing Mandarin Duck Knife"?

Lord Wang Xiang lifted the dog stick and said: "The beggar gang cleans the clothes and sends Lin'an to divide the helm Wang Bulai, and he can't do his best to ask the seniors for advice!"

Fan Baiyu raised his knife to greet him, and returned a trick of "stepping on the snow to find plums". The two of you come and go, and they fight together in an instant.

Lu He looked carefully this time, and it turned out that what Fan Baiyu used was Xue's "Splashing Wind Mandarin Duck Knife Technique". I thought that it would be difficult to become a temple, wishing my mother-in-law and my sister Xue Ruyi in the same line, and they have a deep relationship?

The two fought more than ten moves, Fan Baiyu made a move "feng shui turns" to sell a flaw, leading Wang Bulai to beat the dog stick, and then used a move to "go upstream", the left knife was swung out, knocked on the Wang Bulai stick, and the right knife suddenly split his waist and abdomen, and when he retreated to avoid, the left knife swept, and the right knife suddenly slashed his wrist.

Wang Bulai when the stick has been old, to the strength is not exhausted, and then has been withdrawn can not be returned, seeing the knife coming, in order to avoid the danger of breaking the wrist, in a hurry, I had to abandon the stick and jump away.

Fan Baiyu flew up, kicked the dog-beating stick sideways, and said with a smile: "Accept!"

Wang Bulai took off his weapon, indicating that he had lost, and the scar on his face was convulsed and swollen red, but fortunately in the night, no one could see his face.

Cheng Xiangdong said: "Senior Fan is really superb in swordsmanship. I also dared to ask for a few tricks in the next. As soon as the voice was finished, his palms fell, and a "flying dragon in the sky" illusioned a palm shadow all over the sky, and ran straight to Fan Baiyu as a chest. But the beggars did not pass on their magic skills and descended the dragon to eighteen palms.

Fan Baiyu let out a long roar, floated aside, and said, "Why is my Dao Cheng Hall Master so unscrupulous, it turns out that he has secretly learned the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending. “

Cheng Xiangdong smiled and said, "The eighteen palms of the dragon descending are my magic skills to help the town, and as the master of the Pure Clothes Sect, do I still need to steal from school?"

Although his words were straightforward, Fan Baiyu knew in his heart that the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending was a secret that the beggar gang did not pass on, and that only the current gang leader could always be passed down from the previous gang leader. Unless they have been selected as a candidate for the next Gang Leader.

Fan Baiyu was suspicious in his heart and said, "Isn't it the master of Cheng Hall who has ......?"

Cheng Xiangdong didn't wait for her to finish, and hurriedly replied: "It's just the next candidate selected by the old Ma gang leader...... Now, my seniors should believe what I say, right?"

Fan Baiyu said in his heart: "No wonder I haven't heard any news of the Horse Gang Leader recently, it turns out that he has decided to retreat from the rapids...... It's a pity that there is no one in the beggar gang, and they actually let a person like Cheng Tang Master who has no performance and virtue hold a heavy weapon. This is really a generation of talents, and one generation is not as good as a generation!"

I couldn't help but sigh, put away the double knife, and said, "That's it, that's it, that's it, you can take it away, and the two female dolls will be left for me." “
