The beggar gang Lanzhou rudder suddenly appeared, and he also set up a "dog head banquet" to entertain Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue, and the two discussed this several times, but they were never able to determine each other's intentions. To say that everyone came to Lanzhou this time, it was just because of the four words "Emei ghost monkey" left by Ning Cui, although the merchant did not abandon the Cao family's "portrait", he claimed that he had solved the case, but he refused to tell the two of them, and also made a three-day gambling contract with Xie Yixiang to solve the case.

If you don't mention the so-called "Lanzhou ghost monkey" for the time being, just talk about the black-robed woman that Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue bumped into at the foot of Wuquan Mountain today, although the woman was shrouded in a black robe, and after tearing her sleeves, she revealed an ape-like arm, but there is no need to think about it complicated now, and she is regarded as an ordinary tooth person for the time being. Since the dens of the tooth people are located in the territory of the beggar gang in the north of the city, and the beggar gang happens to appear at this time to try to stop them, most of them are the accomplices of the tooth people. Even the forces behind the black-robed woman are most likely the beggars.

Of course, there is another explanation for this. The place where the black-robed woman kidnapped the little boy was among the crowd of Ju Xingshi at the foot of Wuquan Mountain, and it is also possible that she was in partnership with the Ju Xing Shi and had nothing to do with the beggar gang. And the black-robed woman arranged the den where the children were hidden in the territory of the beggar gang, and the beggar gang had already known about it, so they had been secretly monitoring it, but they had other plans. In order to avoid startling the snake, the beggar gang stopped Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue, thus causing this misunderstanding between the two sides.

As for what the reason is, now that the monkey father has invited the two of them to the banquet on behalf of the beggar gang Lanzhou rudder, he will explain the reason at that time, but there is no need to worry about it at this time. And even if the other party set up a "Hongmen Banquet", Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue thought that they were bold, and they didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the merchant had not shown up, the two found an inn and opened two rooms to rest. Since they didn't sleep all night last night, and the two of them were young people, they slept until the afternoon of the next day.

By the time I finished freshening up and came out of the inn, it was already evening. The two went all the way to the north of the city, and out of the north gate of Lanzhou City, there was the mighty Yellow River. Under the setting sun, a hill stands on the other side of the Yellow River, and among the remnants of the temple on the top of the hill can be faintly seen, there is also an abandoned white pagoda six or seven zhang high rising from the ground, seven levels and eight sides, very majestic.

Xie Yixiang once heard the people in Lanzhou City say that there was originally a "White Pagoda Temple" built on this mountain, but the Great Khan of the previous dynasty had received the envoy sent by the Tibetan sect master here, but because the envoy passed away, the White Pagoda was built to commemorate it, so it was called "White Pagoda Temple"; and the whole mountain was also named because of this, and the name was "White Pagoda Mountain". Later, with the domination of the world by this dynasty, the imperial court expelled the alien races in the northwest a few years ago, and this "White Pagoda Temple" was also abandoned, completely reduced to ruins, and only the white pagoda in the temple was barely preserved.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue crossed the Yellow River by ferryboat and headed towards Baita Mountain. The two of them followed the disciples to the ruins of the White Pagoda Temple on the top of the mountain, where dozens of beggar disciples were already waiting in the ruins, and they respectfully invited the two to enter. The two of them stepped on the broken stones and broken trees all over the ground into the "temple", and came to the front of the white tower six or seven zhang high, only to see that a large open space had been swept out by the beggars in front of the tower, and a bonfire was lit in the middle, and three dog heads were roasted on the fire.

Xie Yixiang frowned slightly, she couldn't imagine that this beggar gang was real, the so-called "dog head banquet" really had a dog head. To say that beggars eat dog meat, it is a normal thing, and it can even be said to be a custom, Xie Yixiang has heard of it for a long time, but now that she sees it with her own eyes, she is still a little uncomfortable. For her, killing dogs is sometimes even more hateful than killing, let alone killing dogs and eating meat.

Looking at the clearing again, there were more than a dozen felts around the bonfire, which were obviously the seats of the people, but now there were only five people seated, all on the felt on the left. The leader was a middle-aged beggar, although his clothes were in tatters, but he was very clean, and he had a heroic face. Seeing Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue coming in, he immediately got up and said, "Fortunately!

The invited monkey father sat at the end of the seat on the left, and hurriedly got up to introduce him, saying: "Jingyue Gongzi, Miss Xie San, this one is the steward of my beggar Lanzhou rudder, He Sanping He helmsman, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Dragon Piercing the Mountain'." Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue didn't expect that this Lord He Helm was much younger than Father Monkey, so they hurriedly returned the courtesy, and the four of them exchanged pleasantries, and Father Monkey invited the two of them to sit on the upper seat on the left.

After everyone sat down, the monkey father introduced the other four people on the left chief position one by one, all of whom were well-known figures in the Lanzhou martial arts. One is the "single-palm Kaishan" single dart head of Lanzhou "Tianlu Dart Bureau", one is the Yan Lao boxer of Lanzhou City's "Hetai Gate", one is the master of Qinhe River and Qinzhai in Lanzhou Guanshan, and the last one is Master Xiao Xu, the descendant of the "Yellow River Gun". And these four guests went to the banquet today, all with their disciples, and at this time, they all sat in the ruins outside the circle with all the beggars and disciples.

At that moment, everyone saw it one by one, and said something like "long admiration", Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant and wait for the changes. Because judging from the current situation, the "dog head banquet" set up by the beggars today is by no means simple, if the other party wants to turn the war into a jade silk, so as to resolve yesterday's misunderstanding peacefully, why do you need to invite these famous figures of Lanzhou martial arts?

Looking at the seven people seated at this time, they were all sitting on the seats on the left side of the bonfire, but there were still five or six blankets on the right side, and I don't know if there were other guests. The monkey father did not wait any longer, and immediately ordered the food to be served, and a beggar helped the disciples bring a plate of steaming steamed meat, a jar of liquor soaked in cold water, and a plate of meat and a jar of wine in front of everyone during the banquet. Xie Yixiang saw that there was clearly a steamed dog leg in the large plate of meat in front of him, and he suddenly lost his appetite; although Xian Jingyue next to him didn't eat dog meat, he saw that there was still beef and mutton on the plate, so he picked a few pieces to eat. As for the others, they thought they were hungry, and they didn't care about dog meat, beef and mutton, they just grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths.

In this way, only Xie Yixiang did not eat during the banquet, which was naturally a bit of an eyesore. Seeing this, the monkey father couldn't help laughing: "Isn't Miss Xie San too dirty to eat the food prepared by the beggar?" Xie Yixiang felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, senior, it's just ...... It's just this dog meat ......."

The monkey father laughed and said: "Dog meat is also meat, how can it not be eaten? Everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, how can there be so many taboos!" Xie Yixiang already thought that the other party had bad intentions, and when he heard this, he replied: "Although the dog is a thing, although it has been reduced to a lowly thing in the world, it is a model of the word 'loyalty'. As long as the owner is identified, he will take care of the family and the hospital for the rest of his life, and he will not rest until he dies. Therefore, the act of killing dogs and eating meat is probably a little inappropriate. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent at the same time, and looked at Xie Yixiang in unison. The head of the "Tianlu Dart Bureau" immediately smiled and said: "Miss Xie San doesn't know, although the beggar gang is famous all over the world, but the disciples are just beggars begging along the street, and it is not easy to beg for some leftovers on weekdays, let alone eat a meal of meat." Therefore, once you encounter the guard dog of a rich family, you will often steal it to beat your teeth, and it has been like this for hundreds of years. To say that Miss Xie San cherishes dogs, it is also out of kindness, but in the eyes of beggars, dog meat is their life-saving food, if you want to blame the beggars for this, it is a bit heavy on dogs and sluts. ”

Mr. Shan's words seemed to be accusing Xie Yixiang, but in fact, he was also resolving everyone's embarrassment, Xie Yixiang took the opportunity to step down and said: "Mr. Shan's dart head has learned a lesson, but it is the little woman's verbal offense." Please also forgive the seniors of the beggar gang, not eating dog meat is just a personal taboo, not disrespectful to the beggar gang. When everyone saw that she was relieved and soft-mouthed, they also laughed loudly, wanting to uncover this embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the Qin Zhai master of Guanshan suddenly said: "Eating dog meat at the 'Dog Head Banquet' has been the rule of the beggars for thousands of years. Since you are not disrespectful, then you can also take a bite!"
