Chapter 43: A New Mission
When Elder Hou of the beggar gang saw that the "head" Mao Fugui was dead, he hurriedly led the group of beggars to kneel and bow to Fang Zhongjin, and shouted urgently, "The head of the family spares his life!"
In order to please Fang Zhongjin, he consciously solved the poison of the Shaolin monks.
After staying on the side for a long time, he finally couldn't help but remind Fang Zhongjin that he should also remember to help the beggars help the disciples get out of the sea of suffering.
Fang Zhongjin was surprised when he heard this, and asked: "How can a certain virtue be able to afford the position of the leader of the beggar gang."
Besides, I don't know what troubles you have, so how can I help you?"
Elder Hou cried with a sad face, and said as if he was about to burst into tears: "Helper, don't shirk it, we beggars have helped so many lives, and we can only rely on the great kindness of the helper to survive."
If you keep shirking it, so many of us have only one way to die!"
After that, he actually knelt down first, and immediately after, the hundreds of beggar gang disciples surrounding Fang Zhongjin actually knelt down together.
Such a huge momentum is quite bluffing.
Fang Zhongjin frowned and said, "Intercede the matter first!"
Elder Hou didn't dare to cry anymore, and said 1510: "Don't hide it from you." This Mao Fugui has not been in the beggars for a long time.
He originally had a disability in his legs, and his martial arts were not high, so naturally it was impossible for him to hold any high position in the beggar gang, but he was just a small second-bag disciple.
It's just because there is no one in the gang who can take charge these days, and the old brothers have also nominated a few people, but unfortunately they can't convince the public. After a while of such a commotion, the beggars became even more disheartened......"
Speaking of this, Elder Hou sighed heavily.
Fang Zhongjin sneered in his heart. Back then, Brother Liu Xiongtian was so benevolent and righteous, and he was a legitimate helper.
Even so, Liu Xiongtian still couldn't convince the public.
This beggar gang became great and was defeated.
The root of the curse has been planted on the day of the establishment of the gang, and one day it will cause great trouble.
Elder Hou continued: "Later, I don't know why, this lame Mao Fugui Kung Fu became stronger and stronger.
Although he has difficulty moving, he has made several great contributions to the beggars with his own ability.
This also made him gradually enter the eyes of the beggar gang, and some people even felt that his martial arts were already the first in the beggar gang, so he should be the leader of the beggar gang.
Until then, there were some sober old brothers who did not approve of this.
That Mao Fugui also lured some gangsters to say that there was a method to improve martial arts in a short time. As a result, there were more and more disciples in the beggar gang who believed in him.
After that, Mao Fugui's power in the beggar gang was unstoppable.
He lobbied others everywhere with his rapid promotion of martial arts. There are also those who don't want to follow him, and Mao Fugui actually forced Gu worms to be planted on these people......"
"Gu worm?" Fang Zhong Jinqi asked.
Elder Hou nodded, and said sadly: "The so-called great improvement of martial arts is not about any righteous path exercises, but about planting Gu worms on the body.
Although our beggar gang disciples punched out, the power was much stronger than in the past. However, if you don't take the antidote every month, the Gu worms will break out of their bodies. We're going to die too!"
Speaking of this, Elder Hou's eyes showed a look of fear. There was once a beggar disciple who did not want to be controlled by Mao Fugui, and finally died because of a Gu worm attack.
Everyone saw the tragic scene, and they could not forget it until they died.
Fang Zhongjin snorted coldly again, with the benefit intersecting, and the profit being scattered. This Mao Fugui also has some skills, first seducing the gang with profit, and then dominating people's hearts with fear.
In this way, the beggar gang is really firmly in his hands.
But Fang Zhongjin said again: "You Gu worms are not from me, and I am not a doctor or wizard.
You have been hit by Gu worms, what can I do to save them?"
Elder Hou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Gu worms are also worms, since they are worms, they must always obey the control of the Qingzhu flute. If the gang leader can control the Gu worms for us from attacking, we can always keep our beggar disciples from dying. ”
As soon as Fang Zhongjin heard this, he knew that Elder Hou was talking about the flute that Liu Xiongtian handed over to him.
He turned the "green bamboo flute" in the palm of his hand, until the hearts of the beggars disciples almost jumped out of their chests.
I was afraid that if the green bamboo flute was not good enough to smash it on the ground and break it in half, they would never have a chance to be saved.
Fang Zhongjin asked tentatively, "You said that this flute can control poisonous insects?"
Elder Hou nodded and said, "Not only can poisonous insects and poisonous cups be controlled, but snakes, insects, rats and ants should all obey the command of this bamboo flute. ”
Fang Zhongjin's heart moved, Liu Xiongtian died in the wormhole back then, and he carried this bamboo flute with him.
At that time, everyone said that Liu Xiongtian would definitely die in a few days, but he couldn't find Liu Xiongtian's body anyway.
Until he saw him in the wormhole, although Liu Xiongtian was covered in flesh and blood, he finally left a breath.
Could it be that this is also the effect of the flute?
It seems that this bamboo flute is somewhat similar to the flute sound of the rabbit master. It's just that the sound of the rabbit's flute can make people's hearts blank, and the green bamboo flute can control the actions of snakes and ants, which is naturally even higher.
When Fang Zhongjin heard this, he suddenly stretched out his arm generously, sent the green bamboo flute to Elder Hou and said, "Back then, Gang Master Liu only asked me to return the flute to the beggar gang, and this thing is not mine.
Since you want to save your life, just take it. ”
Who would have thought that the Hou Gang Leader was embarrassed, and did not reach out to take it, but said: "Don't hide it from the Gang Master, you said, this green bamboo flute is not something that anyone can urge, and it requires internal strength such as a strong person like the Gang Leader."
Even the Liu gang leader back then couldn't give full play to the full effect of the green bamboo flute. ”
In fact, what Elder Hou didn't say was that no one in the beggar gang had been able to use the green bamboo flute to resist snakes for more than a hundred years.
So he became a scepter symbolizing the position of the leader of the beggar gang, if it weren't for Fang Zhongjin suddenly controlling the snake with his flute, everyone would still think that this was just a legend.
When Fang Zhongjin heard this, he knew why the beggar gang suddenly treated him so respectfully from top to bottom.
It's just that he frowned and said, "Your request is not small, for the sake of the lives of your beggars, don't I want to stay with you every day?"
I'm a casual person, and I'm used to it. You kept me on your leash, as if you were killing me. ”
As soon as he said this, Elder Hou's face turned pale with fright. If Fang Zhongjin didn't agree, the beggars would not be able to find a second person who could use the green bamboo flute.
Their gang of beggars has been inherited for thousands of years, and it will not collapse within a month?
Fang Zhongjin said again: "You said earlier that there is an antidote. Is there not one left now?"
Elder Hou didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "What kind of antidote is this? It's just to suspend the poison cup for a month. Usually Mao Fugui looks very strictly, and we just took an antidote before we came out today. Maybe he still has a few on him at the moment, but there are so many brothers here, how can a few of them be enough......"
Fang Zhongjin said: "Okay, you can take out the antidote and show it to me first." ”
Elder Hou hurriedly took out a bag from Mao Fugui's body, and respectfully handed it to Fang Zhongjin with both hands.
Fang Zhongjin looked at the bag, touched the material of the bag with his fingers, and his heart moved: This is just a bag used to release the antidote, and it is actually made of such a good fabric!
He ripped open the red string on the bag and saw that there were several pills lying inside. The smell and color are exactly the same as those given to him by Hong Wen not long ago.
Then this Mao Fugui is indeed sent by the Inhuman Pavilion.
Although the relationship is understood, this antidote is not easy to concoct. The pharmacological knowledge of the Yifang Zhongjin Society cannot be imitated.
He was groaning, and the abbot of Chenghui, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said, "Master Fang is worried because it is not easy to imitate the antidote?"
Abbot Chenghui was also a smart person, and when he saw this situation, he guessed Fang Zhongjin's thoughts.
Fang Zhongjin said: "Exactly, I don't know if the abbot has a way?"
Cheng Hui closed his eyes and said, "There are no people in the Shaolin Temple who are proficient in pharmacology.
But in the Wudang faction on the edge of Xiangyang City, the head Zang Yushan is proficient in medicine. He also has a junior brother who is the best at alchemy.
If you ask them, you may be able to make an antidote. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the beggars lit up. It is a stupid way to use the green bamboo flute to restrain the poison cup, if you can go to Wudang Mountain for medical treatment, you may really be able to cure so many beggar disciples.
This group of beggar disciples were in a state of excitement, and they immediately wanted to get up and go to Wudang to worship the mountain.
At this time, Cheng Hui suddenly said: "But so many of you are now unable to go to Wudang Mountain." If you go, it's just a death. ”
Elder Hou was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What, doesn't Wudang look down on our beggar gang?"
Cheng Hui was already very weak, so he only shook his head at this time, closed his eyes and did not answer his questions.
The beggar gang looked at Cheng Hui anxiously in their hearts, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes again, but it was the other party Zhongjin who said, "Fang Xiao donor." Today's incident, Shaolin should have come to the rescue. However, now the temple has just been robbed, and now even the old man has no ability to go to Wudang Mountain to ask the head of Tibet.
At the moment, you are the only one who can save so many beggars and friends. If Fang Xiaodonor agrees, the old man will write a letter, please take it to Wudang Mountain?"
