Half a month later, Han Xiaotong and Yan Ruyu both successfully introduced qi into the body, Bihe gave Han Xiaotong the jade slip of the exercises and stunts that Zhang Xun gave her, and Xin Lan handed Yan Ruyu a primer book on the medicinal properties of drugs with her own annotations. Zhang Xing, Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xiuya, and Zhang Ming have completed their qi refining, and they have been out of the customs one after another a few days ago, and there are four children here, Zhang Xun and the four daughters don't have to worry about the cultivation of Han Xiaotong and his wife, so they decided not to rush back after going out this time, and to go around the Wenchang Continent before going to Penglai Immortal Island.

The beggar gang leader's birthday was still early, Zhang Xun and the four daughters were not in a hurry to set off, but made gifts by themselves in the secret room, and only took the gifts out of the secret realm to Luoyang half a month later. When they arrived in Luoyang, there were still ten days left before the birthday of the beggar gang leader, Zhang Xun and the four girls saw that the Qin soldiers patrolling everywhere in the city, so they had no intention of playing, and went directly to the Peony Garden.

The sun and the moon change, the mountains and rivers change hands, and the Peony Pavilion is still standing there smiling at the wind and clouds. When I entered the Peony Pavilion, I saw the body of King Zhou lying on the ground, and next to it was a good coffin. Zhang Xun said: "Go and bury King Zhou for your husband, you go upstairs first!" The fourth girl nodded and went up the stairs to the second floor. Thirty meters outside the Peony Pavilion, Zhang Xun dug a pit to bury King Zhou in it and then filled it in, without erecting a monument, let the peony flowers that bloom every year in this peony garden accompany him to sleep here! Perhaps this is the reason why King Zhou chose to end his life in the Peony Pavilion.

When I returned to the Peony Pavilion and went up to the second floor, I saw that the four girls were staring intently at a painting, and they didn't even notice Zhang Xun coming in. It turned out that the "Four Beauties of Peony" was hung in the place where the self-portrait of King Zhou Mu was hung, and the four girls couldn't help but recall the past of appreciating peonies in the peony garden when they saw this painting, and they were fascinated by it. Zhang Xun did not disturb, sat quietly on the edge of the bed and waited, half an hour later, the thoughts of the four girls came out of the painting, Xin Lan put away the "Four Beauties of Peony" and put it into the storage ring, and put it together with the "Four Beauties in the South of the Yangtze River" made by her husband in Suzhou.

Although there is no aura around this peony pavilion, it is in the quiet peony garden in the middle of the noisy, and there are also three points of leisure and elegance. Simei was here every day or playing the piano or dancing the sword, or waving his palms and kicking his legs, Zhang Xun sat quietly and realized, and only opened his eyes in the morning seven days later, and remembered the last sentence of the master's drunken Taoist phantom to him: "Hongchen practice the heart, remember! Remember!" It's just that he was still young at the time, had no experience, and couldn't understand it! Now I understand that this Hongchen practice heart is the true inheritance that the master gave him! In vain, I have been regretting that I have no inheritance but no guidance all these years, and I really have eyes and don't know gold and jade.

Calculate the days and now it's time to go to the helm of the beggar gang, three days later it will be the 80th birthday of the leader of the beggar gang, Jiang Zhige, after all, his family is a junior, and it is rude to go late. Zhang Xun and the four daughters left the Peony Pavilion and went in a carriage.

The Jiang gang leader may not be as skilled as the top people in the rivers and lakes, but in terms of the status and popularity of the rivers and lakes, it is definitely a well-deserved first, after all, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes. When I came to the helm of the beggar gang, I saw a large number of high-rollers, only those few famous people had not yet appeared, and the scene was no smaller than the martial arts conference. The elders of the beggar gang received some well-known people with high reputation and people from famous families, and the Dharma protectors and deacons respectively greeted people from small and medium-sized sects from all over the world and small forces roaming the rivers and lakes. Wang Han saw Zhang Xun and his four ladies coming, so he stepped forward and said to Zhang Xun: "Mr. Zhang, a few ladies, come with me to have a cup of tea!" After a while, the Jiang gang leader and the gang leader's wife came, and Zhang Xun and the four girls gave a junior salute to the Jiang gang leader and his wife one by one. The helper's wife knew that her husband and Zhang Xun had something to discuss, so she took the four daughters to the back garden. Only then did the Jiang gang leader say to Zhang Xun: "Zhang Gongzi, I haven't seen you in Hangzhou for ten years, presumably now you have achieved cultivation! I don't know if you can do Lao Yu a favor? I don't know if I can help Lao Yu with a few outstanding disciples, I don't know if Zhang Gongzi can help Lao Yu cultivate, and then take them to the world of cultivation in a few years to develop." Don't look at the beggar gang now, once the king of Qin ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will either be attached or wiped out. Zhang Xun said: "Gang Leader Jiang, since you have spoken, how dare Zhang Xun slack off." It's better to wait and let those disciples come over, and I'll test the spiritual root for them. My four wives and I are going to go around for a few years, so let my four children take them to cultivate! Aren't you going to Penglai Immortal Island?" Jiang said: "The specific matters Zhang Gongzi can arrange by himself, the old man believes in his own vision, and he has never missed people in his life." The old decay is already half buried, and I don't want to leave if I can't walk. Let's spend the rest of our lives in Luoyang, the land of our ancestors! In fact, this time the old decay is just a reason, and the old decay is just taking this opportunity to announce the golden basin washing hands and retiring from the rivers and lakes. When you are old, you have to serve the old, and the world in the future will be tossed with you young people!" Zhang Xun took out two bottles of pills, one large and one small, handed them to Jiang Lao, and then said: "Jiang Lao, the two bottles of pills are specially practiced by Xin Lan for you, and in this big bottle is the longevity pill, and its effect is to increase the life span of people in the world." The vial contained ten Enlightenment Pills, which allowed at least five Transformation Realm masters to enter the Dao from martial arts to enter the cultivation world. Although you can't use it, those elders and Dharma protectors can use it!" Jiang Lao said: "Xin Lan has a heart, then the old man will strive to live for twenty more years, if he can see the fall of the violent Qin with his own eyes, then he will die without regrets." ”

After talking, it was noon, and I followed Jiang Lao to the restaurant, where Jiang Lao's wife and four daughters were already there. After accompanying Zhang Xun's family to eat, Jiang Lao called Wang Han and went back to the house with his wife to rest. After Wang Han took Zhang Xun and the four daughters to a small courtyard, Zhang Xun opened his mouth and said to Wang Han: "You are one of the outstanding disciples mentioned by Jiang Lao! After a while, Wang Han brought three people, all of whom were about the same age as him, and they must also be the helmsmen of the beggar gang. Zhang Xun asked the three of them to introduce themselves, and the three of them were Wen Xu, Qu Lie and Guo Wenzhong. Zhang Xun pointed to a piece of the best jade in the eyes of the world in front of him and said, "Wang Han, Wen Xu, Qu Lie, Guo Wenzhong, the four of you stepped forward one after another to put your hands on this spirit measuring stone, and after it emitted light, you left to stand aside." "The result came out, Wang Han is ice spirit root, Zhang Xun asked Xiaoxue to take him to the room and guide him to induce qi into the body alone, there are pills and spirit stones, and there is no problem for Wang Han to reach the first level of qi refining in three days. Wen Xu is a golden fire twin spirit root, Zhang Xunxiang let him go to the secret realm and follow Xing'er to refine the weapon. Qu Lie is Lei Linggen, so he naturally left it to Ming'er to bring. Guo Wenzhong is the most special, the spirit stone can not detect his spiritual root, Zhang Xun used physiognomy to look at his face, and finally touched the bones to determine that he was born with a pure heart, yes, it is the uncle of the king of Shang Bigan has the seven exquisite heart, Zhang Xun had to take it with him to teach in person.

Three days passed in a flash, and before the banquet began, Jiang Zhige, the leader of the beggar gang, officially announced his resignation as the leader of the beggar gang on his 80th birthday, and washed his hands in the golden basin under the witness of his fellow martial artists in the world, and retired from then on. The guests felt strange that Jiang Lao did not mention who would succeed the leader of the beggar gang, which was completely unreasonable! But after all, it was Jiang Lao's birthday banquet at this moment, so it was not good to say anything, just pay more attention to the relevant information in the future.

Zhang Xun congratulated Jiang Lao on his birthday as the son-in-law of Murong Villa, and gave him a calligraphy work "Hundred Longevity Post" specially created for Jiang Lao's birthday. Jiang Lao took it and laughed and said: "The old man has heard the name of Mr. Zhang's literary and Taoist talent for a long time, and has been to various places for more than 20 years to appreciate Mr. Zhang's masterpieces such as "Will Enter the Wine", "Yimeng Landscape Map", "Ai Lian Said", "Historical Records", "Peony Four Beauties", but he didn't have the opportunity to have a collection of them. After Zhang Xun and Jiang Lao drank three cups, they returned to the table where the Murong family was and talked with Murong Wuxian, the current head of the Murong family.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xun and the four daughters took Wang Han, Wen Xu, Qu Lie, and Guo Wenzhong to the main courtyard where Jiang Lao was located to bid farewell to Jiang Lao. Jiang Lao found that the aura on Wang Han's body was obviously different from four days ago, and this should be the aura of a monk. At three o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, Wang Han completely refined the medicinal power of a lower-grade Qi Benefiting Pill, and then absorbed the spiritual energy in an ice-based lower-grade spirit stone, and finally reached the first level of Qi refining the night before. Now that it is displayed in front of Jiang Lao, although the movements are still relatively jerky, with Jiang Lao's eyesight, he can naturally see the power of this set of ice splitting leg method after practice. Jiang Lao was very relieved to see that there were successors to the beggar gang, and after passing the dog beating stick to Wang Han and encouraging him, Zhang Xun and his party of nine left the original beggar gang helmsman and the current Jiang Mansion.

In the more than one month on the way back to Laiwu Secret Realm by Zhang Xun and his entourage, the beggar gang was in chaos, the symbol of the gang leader, the dog beating stick was missing, the eight elders of the general helm were all missing, and the contradictions between the two factions that had been suppressed for many years were completely stimulated with the dispute between the gang leaders, and the fights continued. Some of the rudders in various places announced that the world broke away from the beggar gang and set up their own doors, some surrendered to the King of Qin, and some became the lackeys of the Penglai Xiuzhen forces in the Wenchang Continent, in short, the first gang in the rivers and lakes collapsed in less than two months after Jiang Lao's abdication. When the news spread, many people in the rivers and lakes sighed. In the face of all these changes, Jiang Lao, the former leader of the beggar gang, seemed to not know, and closed his door, and no one had seen him since he retired. There is no winner in the battle for the position of the leader of the general rudder, at the last moment, the general's mansion next to the peony garden sent troops to suppress, the only few remaining beggars to help protect the law to flee from the dead, the next day, the general announced the implementation of military control in Luoyang City, and began to recruit Zhuang Ding to build a large number of buildings, since then the people of Luoyang are not happy, the scenery of the prosperous ancient capital is no more.
