There are many strange people in the beggar gang, Wu Qianbian is a five-bag disciple in the beggar gang, with a low status and mediocre martial arts, but he is proficient in the art of disguise and has the ability to change, so everyone in the beggar gang calls him Wu Qianbian, and his real name is forgotten.

Wu Qianbian sent the two Yushu into the tunnel, picked up the pre-prepared wigs, clothes and makeup powder and other things, changed clothes, and painted on the face in three or two strokes, and the appearance of an old woman with Longzhong had already taken shape, coupled with the talent for acting, and the temporary tone of action made Tang Wenhe and his party not have the slightest suspicion, Wu Qianbian was afraid that Tang Wenhe and his party would find clues after a careful search, so he took out the tone of an old woman, playing Lai Sapo, as the saying goes: "Evil does not bully the old." "No matter how wicked a person is, he must always tolerate the old and the weak, women and children. Tang Wenhe and the others really thought she was an old and dizzy mother-in-law, so they searched it hastily and left.

Wu Qianbian waited for Tang Wenhe and the others to leave, then rushed into the room, lifted the wooden cover on the kang, and jumped into the tunnel. The tunnel passage is about a few feet in a circle, and after walking along the steps for a few zhang, I saw the jade tree leaning on the cave wall in the faint light, his face pale, and he was still unconscious.

Elder Lu saw Wu Qianbian come in and asked, "Which gang of thieves are leaving?" Wu Qianbian said, "Let's go, I played a little trick and tricked them away." Then he asked, "Isn't the Dao Elder awake yet?" Elder Lu said: "He was poisoned, his strength was greatly reduced, and he suffered internal injuries. As soon as he said this, he saw Yushu's legs and feet move, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Elder Lu shook the fire fold and said, "Dao Chief, it's good that you're awake." Yushu said: "Dare to ask Engong if he is the hero in the beggar gang?" Wu Qianyan pointed at the beggar and said: "This is the senior in my beggar gang, and the elder Lu Jiutong Lu who is still above the gang leader." Yushu called out and said, "It turned out to be the famous 'Walking Cloud Step' Elder Lu Jiutong in the beggar gang, who has been poor for a long time, thank you for saving me." He struggled to get up and say thanks.

Lu Jiutong stretched out his hand to hold him down, and said, "Master Ouyang, you are injured, don't move lightly." The head of Wudang is famous all over the world, Lu just happened to pass by, and he happened to be unaccustomed to seeing that kid deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and he actually wanted to kill the master, and he happened to rescue you. He said it lightly, but being besieged by dozens of masters, like a tiger's den in Longtan, was really risking his life. Yushu was grateful, and remembered that Tang Wenhe actually wanted to take his own life, and more than 20 years of hard work and master-apprentice friendship have been in vain, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.

After a moment of silence, Wu Qian said: "The tunnel is dark and damp, it is not a place to stay for a long time, presumably which thieves will not come again, elder, let's go back to the room!" Lu Jiutong nodded, and the two of them hugged the jade tree, walked out of the tunnel, and came to the room. Only then did Yushu see Lu Jiutong's appearance clearly, only to see his Chinese face, beard, less than forty years old, his clothes were tattered and dirty, but he was full of cloth bags. Yushu had heard the name of Lu Jiutong before, and he didn't expect that he was much younger than himself, but according to legend, Lu Jiutong's seniority was higher than the current leader of the beggar gang.

Lu Jiu channel: "The Taoist chief has been poisoned and injured again, so you can rest assured to recuperate here." This is my disciple of the Beggar Gang, unparalleled in the world of disguise art, and has a nickname 'Wu Qianbian', I don't know if I have heard of it?" Yushu has seen and heard a lot, and knows that "Wu Qianbian" is a master of disguise in the beggar gang, but he didn't expect it to be this inconspicuous middle-aged man in front of him, hugged his fists and thanked him, and said a lot of polite words. Wu Qianbian hurriedly returned the salute, he knew that Yushu was a giant in today's martial arts, and he felt a little flattered.

Lu Jiu channel: "I fed the Dao Chief before to take the beggar gang antidote 'Baihua Pill', how do you feel now?" Yushu breathed a sigh, his whole body was still soft and couldn't lift his strength, but his mind was much clearer. He knew that "Baihua Dan" was the holy medicine for the beggars to detoxify, but it specialized in detoxification, and drugs that seemed to be poisonous and non-poisonous such as "Hua Gong San" were not symptomatic and only had the effect of control and prevention. Then he said: "Your gang's 'Baihua Pill' is the supreme holy medicine, but what I have is the colorless and tasteless 'Hua Gong San', it is impossible to say that he is a poison, to say that he is not, but it can make people's power internalized in a few hours, and it will take twenty-four hours to recover little by little, which is difficult to prevent." Although Lu Jiutong and Wu Qianbian are well-informed, they have heard of this kind of medicine for the first time. Wu Qianbian said: "There is still this kind of poisoning method in the rivers and lakes, and it is the first time I have heard of it." It's no wonder that the Taoist master of the world martial arts can even be injured. ”

Lu Jiu Channel: "The rivers and lakes are so big, there are no surprises. 'Juyingtang' was originally a place where dragons and snakes were mixed, and there were people of all three religions and nine streams. In the future, you must be careful. Since the head of Ouyang knew that this poison was only temporarily dissolving his power, he was not so afraid, he only rested here and left after his strength recovered. ”

Yushu said: "Baihua Pill is worthy of being a healing elixir, and the internal injuries I suffered before are much better now. Poor Dao is here, so I'm afraid that the two of them will be implicated, so I'm really sorry. As he spoke, he struggled to stand up and bowed in thanks. Lu Jiutong hurriedly helped him to sit down, and said: "Master Ouyang, don't be so polite, Wudang and the beggar gang have always been friends, although you and I have never met, but we have been friends for a long time." Today, by chance, I saved the Taoist, which is the so-called fate. If one day, my beggars are in trouble, will the Wudang faction stand by and help each other, which is the morality of the rivers and lakes that people in my generation should abide by. ”

Yushu didn't expect him to have such insight, and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Well said, Elder Lu is not only superb in martial arts, but also has unique knowledge. Is the footwork that Elder Lu used in the 'Juying Hall' before the famous 'Cloud Walking Steps', under the attack of a strong enemy, he comes and goes freely, as if entering a no-man's land, which is impressive. Although he said the truth, but in Lu Jiutong's ears is still very useful, he is most proud of his life is this set of "one hundred and eight steps to the clouds", now hearing that the head of Wudang is so respected, I can't help but be very proud, haha smiled: "The Taoist has won the award, and the kung fu of this three-legged cat makes you laugh." ”

Yushu said: "Elder Lu, don't be too humble, your set of footwork is changeable, mysterious and complicated, facing the enemy, it is extremely wonderful, and you were dragged by the poor road before, like walking against the wind, there is a feeling of fluttering and turning into an immortal, I think how can those Xiaoxiao of Juyingtang stop you." He praised seven points and praised three points, and Lu Jiutong and Wu Qianbian were smiling when they heard it.

Lu Jiutong's heart was full of joy, and he said: "The Taoist chief has profound internal skills, and the sword and palm are unique, no one in the rivers and lakes knows, if it weren't for Tang Wenhe's wolf heart and dog lungs, he would take revenge, how could you be easily fooled." Alas!" Yushu heard that he knew a lot about the situation of his master and apprentice, and remembered a parable of the farmer and the snake in his mind, he was the stupid farmer, who mistakenly raised the poisonous snake Tang Wenhe, and almost killed himself when he bit himself, which was both sad and lamentable.

After being silent for a while, he asked: "Forgive Poor Dao for saying a lot, Elder Lu seems to have saved Poor Dao not only by chance, how can there be so many coincidental things in the world, it seems that it has been arranged a long time ago." Lu Jiutong smiled slightly and said: "The Taoist chief is a person who understands, and he doesn't tell lies in front of real people, this matter is said to be a coincidence, and it is reasonable to say that it has been arranged early." Yushu said: "The elder's words are incomprehensible. ”

Lu Jiudao: "The Taoist is not an outsider, and he won't hide it from you." Here's the thing, although our beggars are all sluts who eat thousands of meals and stretch out their hands to beg for food, most of them are iron-clad men, and they do things that are chivalrous and righteous, and benefit the country and the people. When Yushu heard this, he nodded, and thought: "The beggar gang has been the largest gang in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and it has done many chivalrous things, which is true. ”

Lu Jiutong continued: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, for decades, which of my Han people did not miss the former Ming, after all, this country is the country of our Han people, and the world is always the world of our Han people. As the old saying goes: 'Those who are virtuous and capable in the world live in it.' If the Qing people manage the Han people in the world, manage them well, let the common people have enough food and clothing, let the Han people have status, dignity, clothing, and food, of course we have nothing to say, but in the eyes of the Manchu Tartars, the Han people are simply inferior to pigs and dogs. Yushu was originally an old minister of the former Ming Dynasty, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Elder Lu is right, Qinggou is really hateful. ”

Lu Jiutong nodded, and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in my beggar gang, and the suffering of the people is in their eyes one by one, how can they stand idly, so the leader of the gang discussed secretly recovering the Qing Dynasty. This major event against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty was planned from the day the Tartars entered the customs, and they did not dare to forget it for a day, but in recent years, the situation has become even higher. So the gang leader, deputy gang leader, several elders and people from all sides gathered in Beijing to discuss the anti-Qing and Ming restoration. In the end, it was agreed that the gang members in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei would be contacted to take charge of the anti-Qing affairs. In recent months, we have been secretly operating in the vicinity of the capital, planning with the others to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. As a result, our eyeliner is everywhere in the capital. As the place where Ao worships this traitor, the 'Juying Hall' has naturally become the focus of the monitoring of the disciples in the gang. From the moment the Taoist appeared near the 'Juying Hall', a disciple of the gang had already reported the situation to me. ”
