CHAPTER XXII
"Old man, if you know Ming Shuhui's current location, please don't hesitate to give advice, I would be grateful......" Xie Yanran heard the news of Ming Shuhui, and her body trembled a little with excitement, she got up and arched her hands to bow.
"It's not a difficult thing to do...... "Buddha" didn't shy away from it, only raised his hand lightly and said, "I also have a relationship with Ming Shuhui, this child is arrogant by nature, but he is quite serious and decent." He's heading east now, and I'm not sure or bother to ask what he's going to do, but if you go to this place, you'll definitely find it. ”
"Buddha" said, handing out a card, which was crumpled, but the handwriting on it was still legible.
"Muketu Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, Changqing Street, City A......" Li Kai took the card and read.
"Yes, just go to the clinic on the card, there is a hunchbacked monster old man in the clinic, you will say that it is 'Buddha' when you arrive, don't find the wrong person to say the wrong thing, otherwise you won't be able to find Ming Shuhui." "Buddha" explained carefully.
"Buddha" stared at Li Kai seriously as he spoke, and Li Kai nodded again and again when he saw this. Xie Yanran learned of Ming Shuhui's clues, and her heart was already happy on the side.
After eating, the four of them said goodbye at the restaurant and set out on their own journeys.
Wanshulou and "Buddha" came out of the restaurant, not far from the Yuanheng Gang, so they simply walked over. On the way, Wanshulou talked about Li Kai and Xie Yanran, but "Buddha" didn't seem to be interested, and always diverted the topic.
After walking for two or three stops, they arrived at the food factory of the Yuanheng Gang, although the area of the factory is not small, but because they have been here in the past few days, the two of them are still familiar with it.
The Gongsun gang leader of the Yuanheng Gang greeted him with a smile on his face, and as soon as he saw Wanshulou, the Gongsun gang leader pretended to greet him affectionately.
"Wan Shaoxia has not eaten, I have prepared a table of food in the restaurant on the second floor, let's go eat something." "Gongsun gang leader climbed Wanshulou and left.
"I've eaten it, don't bother with the Gongsun gang leader. Wan Shulou was very embarrassed by the behavior of the Gongsun gang leader, but he was embarrassed to refuse coldly.
"Then let's go to my conference room and wait, there are already a few people who have arrived first. Gongsun Gang Leader smiled and led the way in front.
Wanshulou and "Buddha" followed behind Gongsun Gang Leader, although "Buddha" was the person brought by Wanshulou, but he was not an insider in Xiwutan, so he was arranged to wait in the lounge on the first floor, and "Buddha" was also happy to be at ease, so he lay down on the sofa in the lounge, and after a while, he actually snored.
Wan Shulou followed the Gongsun gang leader to the second floor, pushed open the door of the conference room, it was spacious and bright, a huge conference round table was placed in it, comfortable conference chairs were lined up on both sides, and there were already a few people sitting on the chairs.
The leaders of the Jitai Gang Liu, the Cao Gang of the Dachuan Gang, the Mao Gang of the Yihe Gang, the Qimu Lu Gang Leader, the Jiji Situ Gang Leader, and the Gongsun Gang of the Yuanheng Gang have all arrived, only the Hellfire Gang Wang Gang Leader and the Lijin Gang Wu Gang Leader.
Wan Shulou looked carefully, but there were a few faces, three people sat in the most window position, two Western Regions lamas were dressed, and one was a dirty middle-aged man, who looked very strange, and was incompatible with the gang leaders who were dressed up around him.
None of these three people were from Xiwutan, but they could sit in the conference room, and Wan Shulou felt very strange.
Gongsun Gang Leader hurriedly brought Wanshulou over to introduce, and the three of them saw Wanshulou coming and saluted separately.
"These two eminent monks are from Province X and practice in the Qiangbalin Monastery in the Western Regions, this is the master of disease, and this is the master of suffering. Gongsun Gang Leader raised his hand to introduce, Wan Shulou was shocked in his heart, these two people are high monks in the Western Regions, they have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and everyone in the martial arts knows everyone, but I don't know why they suddenly came here today.
"This is the principal of the 'Shenlu Academy'. Hearing this name, Wanshulou was even more shocked, Shenlu Academy is a school that transports talents for the martial arts association, although its status is equal to the eastern and western martial arts, but in fact it is slightly higher than the eastern and western martial arts, and I heard that this Yan principal is as his name, a man of his word, iron-faced and selfless, and the purpose of coming here today is even more incomprehensible.
This is the second Wanshulou Wan Shaoxia in the "book" generation of Xiwu Altar, and he has won the true biography of the old altar master. Gongsun Gang Leader introduced.
Wan Shulou bowed his hand and bowed to the three of them, and the three of them also replied.
A few people in the room sat down, waiting for the two gang leaders of the Stygian Fire Gang and the Lijin Gang.
"Brother Wan, before you came, a few of our elder brothers have discussed it, this time the matter of the Xiwu Altar is really serious, there are actually people who have the ability, so that the Xiwu Altar will almost perish in the morning, and now is the time for our eight major factions to have the same hatred and hatred. The leader of the Situ gang of the Jiji gang took the lead in speaking, and the gang leaders of the other gangs also seconded the proposal when they heard it.
"I called everyone here this time, just to discuss this matter, in the past, our major factions developed vigorously under the leadership of the Xiwu Altar, and the gang leaders have also made great contributions to the Xiwu Altar, so today we are sitting here just to discuss with you how to track down the murderer. Wan Shulou said righteously.
"Since learning of the accident, my brothers have been trying their best to find clues every day, and there are no definite clues, which shows that the murderer is very vigilant. We have only found one suspicious place so far, so let's say it and let everyone analyze it. The leader of the Dachuan Gang Cao paused and continued, "There was an accident in the Yisheng Company of the martial arts a while ago, I don't know if you know, their experience is very similar to that of the Western Martial Arts Arena, and Luo Bin is also missing, I have already sent someone to investigate." ”
Everyone nodded their heads, thinking it was a useful clue.
"Then please continue to investigate. The leader of the Jitai Gang Liu leaned back and continued, "It is important to track down the murderer, but in fact, everyone is here today, and they are more suspicious of the future development of the major gangs, right?"
"The major gangs are now developing steadily, and the daily activities are still going on as usual, and the most important task now is to find ......out about the matter of Xiwutan," Wan Shulou saw that everyone was not very concerned about tracking down the murderer, so he said anxiously, but he was interrupted halfway through speaking.
"Brother Wan, I said before, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, this matter must be considered in the long run, our brothers of the Dachuan Gang will definitely find the murderer day and night!"
"But......" Wan Shulou said urgently.
"Dragons can't be leaderless for a day!" "The leader of the Qimu Gang Lu interrupted Wanshulou again, "Now that the power of the eight major factions is getting stronger and stronger, there are more and more decisions within the gang, and they are becoming more and more important. ”
"Therefore, it is even more important to ...... now" Wan Shulou wanted to fight for it, but was interrupted again.
"The revenge of the Lord of the Ming Altar must be avenged, otherwise how can we be worthy of his old man's kindness to us on weekdays, but we help hundreds of brothers in the gang to eat, and everyone runs a company factory, and we can't make decisions casually in many trade decisions." Gongsun Gang Leader said with a smile.
"That's enough!" Mao Youde, the leader of the Yihe Gang, slapped the table and said angrily, "It's only been a few days since the Xiwutan had an accident?
Mao Youde roared angrily, and the gang leaders below were suddenly silent.
"This Mao donor," Master Ji, who had been sitting in obscurity, spoke, "I think the other gang leaders are reasonable, let's not investigate, the most anxious thing in front of us is to select the right person and lead the Xiwu Altar to continue to develop." ”
"What are you doing? It's not your turn to dictate the affairs of my Xiwu Altar. "Mao Youde was bent on avenging the Xiwu Altar, although he knew that Master Ji was a well-known figure in martial arts, but when he heard that he was the same as the other gang leaders, he couldn't help but be angry.
Master Ji folded his hands, looked embarrassed, and was silent.
"Mao Youde, how can you talk to Master Ji!" Gongsun Gang Leader put away his smile and shouted at Mao Gang Leader, "A few of our gang leaders, today we invite these three important figures in the martial arts, just to give us ideas and directions in the Western Martial Arts Arena, you dare to speak disrespectfully to Master Ji, quickly apologize to the master!"
Mao Youde was angry in his heart, stalked his neck, raised his head and sneered, and had no intention of apologizing.
"Mao Youde, you've only been the helper for a few days, so you don't take a few of us in your eyes? The altar master is no longer here, no one is covering you, do you dare to be so arrogant?"
"I haven't been a helper for a few days, but I've been in the Yihe Gang since I was a child, the Yihe Gang is my home, and the Xiwu Altar is my day.
"It's too early to say it......" Several gang leaders couldn't help but sneer after listening to Mao Youde's words, and muttered below.
"Gang Master Mao, listen to me. Principal Yan stood up and faced Mao Youde.
When everyone saw that the principal was going to speak, they all stopped their voices, and even Mao Youde listened with a respectful face.
"I just listened to the discussion of several gang leaders, plus what Gongsun gang leader said when he invited me to come, I think although everyone has their own opinions, what they say makes sense. Principal Yan said very seriously, "The Mao Gang Master is affectionate and righteous, the catastrophe of the Xiwu Altar is certainly the top priority at hand, but the future development is also equally important, if you think about how to take revenge and delay the revitalization of the sect in the future, then the spirit of the Ming Altar Lord in the sky will not be able to rest in peace." ”
"Principal Yan, do you know something...... Mao Youde arched his hand to Yan Jiuding and said, "Where do they care about the murderer, but they just saw that all the important people in the Western Martial Arts Arena were killed, and they happened to be in charge of the eight major factions!"
"Hey...... Young people should pay attention to proportionality when speaking, according to my understanding of the gang leaders, they have no such intentions, and the purpose of today's meeting is all for better development in the future, and the Mao gang leader misunderstood. Principal Yan earnestly explained.
Mao Youde understood at this time that several gang leaders invited these three martial arts celebrities, in fact, to help the fist, in order to achieve the purpose of making money for everyone, and now his situation is becoming more and more difficult to support, I am afraid that a leader must be elected today.
Thinking of this, Mao Youde looked at Wanshulou beside him, he also had a helpless expression, and Mao Youde couldn't help but be discouraged.
"When the altar master is here, all the big and small affairs are handled by the Liu gang leader, and he can be said to be very familiar with the affairs of the entire Xiwu Altar and the major gangs, so I elect the director of the Liu gang to lead the eight major factions!" Gongsun the gang leader proposed first.
Later, several other gang leaders also agreed, and Mao Youde saw that everyone had such a unanimous opinion, and he thought that they must have discussed it before, and he couldn't help but be even more angry.
"I'm against it!" Mao Youde got up again and interrupted loudly, "The Eight Great Sects have always been led by the Xiwu Altar, and if you want to elect the talents of the Xiwu Altar, you have to choose the talents of the Xiwu Altar, I choose Wanshulou!"
Wan Shulou was frowning, and suddenly heard that Mao Youde wanted to choose himself, and he was shocked.
"Brother Wan is outstanding in martial arts, and he is young and promising, but after all, he has lived in the martial arts arena for a long time and cultivated, and he knows very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he is afraid that he is not qualified enough. Gang Master Cao looked at Mao Youde, then looked at Wanshulou, and then said.
"Identity is more important than qualifications, right?" Mao Youde continued, "The former emperor still had auxiliary ministers by his side, can't our eight major factions assist him? Besides, the affairs of the martial arts arena naturally have to be spoken with martial arts, who can come out to single him out now? If he wins Wanshulou, I, Mao Youde, will be willing to let him be the helper!"
"Gang Master Mao, you can't talk like that......" Principal Yan wanted to play a round and persuaded again.
"It's okay!" Jitai Gang Leader Liu had very few words since he entered the house, and at this time he stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "I'm here to learn the tricks of Brother Wan!"
Wan Shulou was at a loss for what to do by the changes in front of him, and at this time, suddenly Liu Gang Leader launched a challenge, which made him even more unsure of what to do.
"Brother Wan!" Mao Youde approached Wan Shulou and whispered in his ear, "I put the treasure on you, for the future of the Xiwu Altar, you have to do your best." ”
Wan Shulou was helpless, so he had to nod his head and stand up.
"Gang Leader Liu, please advise me. Wan Shulou bowed his hand and said.
"Please!" Gang Leader Liu also gave up.
The two of them came to the empty space in front of the conference room, and each of them put up their hands and prepared for battle.
Gang Master Liu has his palms facing the sky, his legs are lunges, his breath is sinking into the dantian, and his right palm is drawn in a circle and gradually slides forward. Jitai Gang martial arts are mainly based on qi training, supplemented by moves, Liu Gang Master has been immersed in the way of qi training for decades, and every action is full of strength, calm and sophisticated.
Wan Shulou didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, he crossed his chest with his feet, his feet were separated from his shoulders, his eyes were slightly closed, his eyes were in his heart, his whole body was full of energy, and he was ready to go.
I saw Gang Master Liu take a step forward and push it with a flat palm, which slowly pushed to Wanshulou's chest, and the direction and speed were very usual. Wan Shulou suddenly opened his eyes, his hands came out together, he turned around his palm, and attacked the arm of Gang Leader Liu in a scissor shape with both hands.
Hands and arms touched, and Wan Shulou suddenly felt that the qi of Gang Leader Liu suddenly increased, like ten thousand horses galloping, and a steady stream of them rushed in. Wan Shulou was shocked, he was like a drop in the ocean and was swept into the torrent, so he could only let this palm slap firmly on his chest, Wan Shulou was forced, and was knocked two or three meters away and hit the wall.
At the moment of being hit, Wan Shulou used the wind and thunder heart method, forcibly sent out all the qi, and collided with the Liu gang leader, so that he could barely protect the big pulse in his chest and not be seriously injured, but this palm also really made Wan Shulou suffer a big loss.
Wan Shulou stood up from the wall, although he was not seriously injured, but his disadvantage was not good, which made him even more panicked. And the Liu gang leader is as steady as Mount Tai, standing still and breathing.
Wan Shulou also adjusted his breath, double ** fork, legs apart, or the starting style just now.
Wan Shulou decided to strike first this time, he took two steps forward, and also struck out a palm, this palm was also launched flatly, but it was slightly different from the direction of the previous Liu gang leader's palm, Wan Shulou's palm was pushed out from the side, and slowly hit the left side of the Liu gang leader.
Gang Leader Liu also took out his palms to meet the attack, and his two palms were like dragonflies touching water, and they were closed with one touch. The two of them launched more than ten palms one after another, only to see that the speed of the palms became slower and slower. Looking at it from the side, it seems that the two are learning martial arts, feeding each other, and the point is up.
In fact, the palms of the two are full of luck, and every time they face each other, their clothes will flutter. Mao Youde was shocked, Wan Shulou is a young junior, and his qi kung fu is definitely not as deep as Liu's gang leader, and even more extremely Tai Gang is famous for his qi training, and now Wan Shulou uses his own shortcomings to fight the opponent's strengths, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and he will definitely lose in a few rounds.
After several palms in Wanshulou, it was indeed a huge gas consumption, and sweat was oozing from the corners of his forehead, but Gang Leader Liu was still calm, as if he was fine.
Gang Leader Liu slapped out one palm after another, and found that the qi in the other party's palm was gradually weakening, and it was no longer as strong as before, so he thought about finding a chance to end the battle, if Wanshulou was seriously injured by himself, no one would hinder him from becoming the leader of the eight major factions.
Gang Leader Liu has made up his mind to kill Wanshulou, and seeing that Wanshulou is gradually losing support, Gang Leader Liu is even more proud.
At this time, Wan Shulou was already sweating like rain, and his body seemed to be hollowed out, and he was originally calmly and slowly palming, but at this time, the speed also accelerated, and his moves became messy.
At this time, Gang Leader Liu saw the opportunity, slapped out with one palm, and went straight to the head of Wanshulou, he wanted to kill with one blow.
Wan Shulou saw that Gang Leader Liu suddenly changed his moves, and the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger, knowing that he was going to kill himself under the palm of his hand. Wan Shulou retreated with the trend of this palm, and his fist no longer made contact with him, and his body always kept a certain distance from him.
Suddenly, Wan Shulou came out with both hands, turned his palms into grasps, and held them directly at the elbow position of the Liu gang leader, his fingers were arched, and he gently knocked on the inner elbow of the Liu gang leader, and half of the qi in the palm of the palm was removed, and then turned forward, bullying into the arms of the Liu gang leader, fighting the danger of losing both, leading the remaining palm power straight to the Liu gang leader.
This change of trick surprised Gang Leader Liu, who had an advantage, but was borrowed by Wanshulou, and at this time, he did not hesitate to be injured. Gang Leader Liu thought to himself that if he retreated to defense, it would be too late, and if he was injured, let alone be a leader, so he gritted his teeth and had a hard time with Wanshulou.
Everyone present was also extremely surprised, Wanshulou had no strength, how could he suddenly bully the enemy, only Mao Youde couldn't help but cheer.
Wan Shulou led his palm to accumulate force and hit the abdomen of the Liu gang leader, while the Liu gang leader made a slightly crooked palm and hit Wan Shulou's shoulder, and the two flew out upside down at the same time, spitting blood from their mouths and falling to the ground.
Suddenly, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and the Hellfire Gang King Gang Leader and the Lijin Gang Martial Gang Leader fell in.
The two gang leaders were covered in blood, couldn't support it, and fell to the ground......
