Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dispute Between True and False Gang Leaders
After dusk, the beggars on the streets in the ancient city of Xi'an, like a gust of wind blowing on the flat ground, came and went suddenly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. There is only one place in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, near the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in Dongcheng, but the beggars are gathering more and more, all of them are people who carry more than three pockets, and the discerning people can understand at a glance that these beggars who are at home from all over the world are going to enter the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to gather.
At the second watch, when Bai Wenyu and Zhuge Jian quietly came to the Great Ci'en Temple, the main hall inside was empty, but it was brightly lit, and the beggars were all outside the Great Ci'en Temple.
Both of them are above the first-class masters of martial arts, and they did not alarm the beggar disciples who guarded and protected them at all, like two gusts of wind, holding their breath and hiding in the hollow hanging beams on the roof of the main hall, watching the occurrence and changes of the situation, and seeing who was making trouble.
The third watch rang, and a loud shout suddenly sounded in the hall: "The heads and deacons of the altars of the various parts of this gang, please enter the temple in order!"
Hearing the sound, all the beggars and disciples looked at the door of the hall together, with a tattered wooden bowl at the flat end of their left hand and a bamboo stick for beating dogs in their right hands, and they lined up solemnly and silently to enter the hall according to their own identities and status. After a while, the hall, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, is barely overcrowded, and the sublimation of the atmosphere makes the temperature inside the hall much more comfortable and warm than outside.
Originally, Zhuge Jian thought that before the real body of the gang leader arrived, the beggar gang would definitely be looking for internal turmoil. Unexpectedly, the gang was calm and constant, and there was no change in the slightest, as if the disappearance of their gang leader had nothing to do with tonight's celebration.
This strange quiet appearance made Zhuge Jian, the "Divine Stick Green Dragon", suspicious in his heart. Although Bai Wenyu on the side was also confused and strange, he was so calm that he acted so calmly with the beggar gang, and he was so admirable that he threw himself to the ground. Therefore, the two of them had different moods and held their breath, so as not to be discovered prematurely by the skilled beggar gang, which would cause unnecessary conflicts.
The hall is quiet, except for the "crackling" burning green oil torches on the main beams and pillars around and in the hall, hundreds of beggars and disciples entered, gathered in the hall, neat and orderly, facing the high platform of the main hall, silent, standing and waiting, to welcome the helper.
"The twelfth generation of the new gang leader 'Divine Stick Qinglong' Zhuge Jian gang leader has arrived!" With the loud shouts of the ceremonial deacon in the gang, from behind the main hall of the Buddha, nine middle-aged and elderly people in purple shirts with hundreds of knots and nine pockets on their backs came out. The two people hiding on the top beam of the main hall were dumbfounded, and they both focused their eyes on the middle-aged man who was leading in front of them. I saw that he held a token of golden light flashing and palm-sized in his left hand, holding a crystal clear jade bamboo cane in his right hand, his face was pale and colorless, his face was expressionless, a pair of thick and even lips were closed, and his blazing eyes were radiating strange light, and his whole body was large and tall, and under the reflection of some vague firelight, all of them were alive and sound like the "Divine Stick Green Dragon" Zhuge Jian himself, and even he himself had to admire the subtlety of this person's disguise technique. However, Bai Wenyu, who is proficient in the medical skills of the Holy "Holy Doctor Yin" Huangfu Sheng, is naturally noncommittal.
"See the gang leader!" Everyone in the hall bowed in unison, and the gang leader waved the shining gold medal in his hand casually, then withdrew his hand into his arms, and said lightly without an expression: "Thank you brothers who have come from afar, everyone has worked hard!"
"It's not hard! It's hard work!" replied respectfully.
The leader of the beggar gang stood in front of the statue of the Buddha on the stage, and stepped back a little on the left and right, and there were four disciples of the ninth generation who were over fifty years old, that is, the eight elders of the gang.
"Brothers, eight elders!" the gang leader saw that the ceremony was over, cleared his throat, and said slowly with a dumb throat, "Recently, I have occasionally felt a cold, and my speech is a little unclear, and I ask for your forgiveness and understanding! Thanks to the wrong love of the former gang leader and the brothers, he was promoted to the leading gang leader of this generation, and it was the 220th anniversary of the gang building conference, and this seat hereby vowed: I am willing to use my humble body to devote myself to the great cause of the revival of the gang, and I also hope that all the brothers present will work together with the nearly 100,000 disciples of the gang to share weal and woe and help each other in the same boat!"
The provocative and generous opening speech immediately drew cheers from hundreds of brothers.
The gang leader waved his hand pretended to be and continued: "Thank you for your support! Tonight is the grand celebration of the founding of the gang, and I want to celebrate it greatly! Now we will discuss the two major events of the gang first, and then send luxurious food and drink, and eat and drink him happily! The first thing is that the gang is ready to jointly establish a gang with the 'Qiankun Village' in Hanzhong, and jointly plan to dominate the martial arts, sweep away the evil demons, and unify the rivers and lakes, and all living beings will live and work in peace and contentment! The second thing is that this gang wants to go all out and join forces with the Nine Great Sects to encircle and suppress Bai Wenyu, the Heavenly Absolute Demon who wantonly slaughters martial arts warriors! This seat and the eight elders have already discussed it properly, just wait for tonight to pass, and immediately tell the martial arts and tell the world!"
Bai Wenyu, who was hiding on the beam of the main hall, was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that the current declining beggar gang would join forces with the Nine Great Sects to deal with him, and he didn't have any intersection with anyone in the beggar gang, oh, but he was a little bit like a beggar in God, and he wouldn't be desperate!
However, Zhuge Jian, the "Divine Stick Green Dragon", was flustered when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that this vicious gang of impostors would intercept and kill his party on the way, not only in order to snatch the precious tokens inherited by the beggar gang for hundreds of years, and occupy the beggar gang, but also insidiously uproot the neutral black and white beggar gang into the turbid world religion, as a tool for murder, so that it will fall into a place of no return. These pros and cons, don't the shrewd and spicy Eight Elders understand?
It seems that it will be an extraordinary night for the beggar gang, which is already weak, and I hope that among the hundreds of disciples, there will be the sober person who will see through the vicious conspiracy of the traitor and rise up to fight!
Sure enough, hundreds of disciples were in an uproar when they heard that the gang was inexplicably going to join another gang. The loyal and upright one immediately jumped out and shouted angrily: "Gang leader, since the establishment of this gang, it has been alone in the world's martial arts, and under the leadership of the ancestors of the past dynasties, it has also created countless brilliance and achievements! The gang has a training, and it will never be in the same stream with the evil forces in the rivers and lakes and harm the common people, not to mention that it will merge with Qiankunzhuang to create a faction? We will never agree! Second, join hands with the nine major sects to encircle and suppress it." Heavenly Peerless Knight' Bai Wenyu, the disciple thinks it is inappropriate, according to the disciple's long-term walking in the rivers and lakes, that person is really a bloody man who stands up to the sky, and most of the people he killed are some unrighteous people, for example, the recent lonely eradication of the Fallen Soul Valley that has endangered the martial arts for many years is really happy...... Ahh
The six-bag disciple was talking excitedly, when he suddenly screamed inexplicably, his left hand supported his waist, his body shook violently, his eyes rolled, he vomited blood in his mouth, and he fell to the ground without breathing.
In front of everyone's eyes, an unexpected tragedy occurred suddenly, and the entire hall was silent for a moment, and then immediately there was a great uproar, and they rushed forward to check, and there was a great chaos, so that the perpetrators could easily hide the clues, making it impossible to investigate. The six-bag disciple knew at a glance that he had been hit by a hidden weapon that sealed his throat with blood, causing the seven orifices to bleed and die quickly.
"Get out of the way, the gang leader is here!" The gang leader was surrounded by four nine-bag elders, pretending to be angry and painful, and walked down to the hall with a look of anger and pain, came to the side of the dead six-bag disciple, squatted down and looked at it seriously for a while, then stood up and shouted loudly: "Who is it? You come out! If you have the courage to rush to this seat! I beggars help everyone, how can I be afraid of you little gangster!"
Naturally, the plotter didn't dare to jump out. At this time, all the disciples of the beggar gang knew that there were sinister and vicious spies in the hall, and they couldn't help but be suspicious of each other, especially the people around the six bags of disciples who died just now, which made people panic and everyone was in danger. It wasn't until the body was carried away that the hall fell silent again.
"Brothers, please forgive me for my incompetence, seeing that my gang disciples were killed, and I couldn't track down the murderer, and I didn't even know the hidden weapons and poisons in his body, I am willing to be punished by the gang rules!" The gang leader returned to the stage and said in a pretended to be sad and helpless, and immediately won the sympathy of a large number of beggar gang disciples, and some people shouted: "This has nothing to do with the gang leader, why blame yourself? The murderer will be investigated and exposed sooner or later!"
"Thank you brothers for forgiving me!" The gang leader took the opportunity to get off the donkey, sighed, rolled his eyes, and then said, "It's not too early, let's get down to business! The gang leader and the eight elders have agreed that they will send someone to contact the people of the 'Turbidity World Sect' tomorrow and start discussing personnel and ......safety tonight."
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded above the main hall: "Bold and crazy murderer!" He actually impersonated this seat, endangered the gang, and didn't break your body into thousands of pieces, I'm 'Divine Stick Green Dragon' Zhuge Jian can't stand the ancestors of the past generations!"
With angry shouts, a vigorous black shadow jumped from the top of the main hall.
As soon as the black shadow appeared, a sixty-year-old elder on the right side of the gang leader, raised his right hand, and the lightning emitted several blue blue lights, if the black shadow in the air was unable to transform, it was bound to die on the spot.
Zhuge Jian, a good "god stick green dragon", his eyes flashed, and he saw the coming momentum of a few slids of blue light, and his falling body suddenly "rolled over", and suddenly deviated from the previous trajectory, and suddenly avoided the danger. On the head and feet off the ground a few feet, both palms pressed downward, "boom!" In the loud sound, with the help of force, the body fell upside down, standing firmly in the middle of the temple, facing the impostor gang leader who deserved to die.
The sudden appearance of the real beggar gang leader, and the two of them looked exactly the same, like twins who couldn't distinguish the real body, which suddenly shocked everyone in the hall, inexplicably, and couldn't tell which of the two was real and who was fake?
When the fake gang leader saw Zhuge Jian come back from the dead, he knew that things were going to be bad, although he was panicked in his heart, he was still calm as usual on the surface, and he looked fearless, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Dare to pretend to be this seat! Surrender quickly, otherwise the disciples of this gang will be ruthless!"
"Divine Stick Green Dragon" Zhuge Jian was extremely angry and laughed: "Haha, I can't imagine that someone is despicable and shameless, and in front of the main master, he still shouts and beats the thief!
The fake gang leader forced himself to calm down, "hehe" sneered, took out the gold medal order in public, held the green bamboo scepter in one hand and said proudly: "Since you accuse this seat of being false, what evidence do you have to prove that you are true? Brothers, please see, this golden gang leader gold medal order and green bamboo scepter, can there be any fake? Do you have it?"
This guy just showed the gang leader's gold medal order in the air a few times, and immediately put it in his arms, for fear that someone would snatch it away unexpectedly, but now it is a life-saving talisman.
Zhuge Jian didn't think of this question, he couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly shouted angrily and angrily: "Won't you, a dog thief, conspire to take a robbery by force? Haha, the ambush attack in the Black Forest in Qili Village outside the city, my twelve flesh and blood brothers, the bones are not yet cold! Tonight, if you don't give me justice, I don't want to leave this place for half a step! Brothers, my God Stick Qinglong Zhuge Jian came from the Kaifeng branch of Henan Province, and just arrived at the edge of the forest outside the city, he was lured into the depths of the city, and was brutally killed by a group of masked black-clothed people, and the whole army was wiped out. I was seriously injured, but fortunately a martial arts master, he spent a lot of Zhenyuan to heal my wounds, otherwise, I, Zhuge Jian, would have gone different paths from the brothers in the gang from now on! The six bags of brothers who were plotted by them just now were the deputy altar master of the Xiangyang Branch, named 'One Sword Soul' Li Duan, who joined the gang since he was a child, and established many meritorious deeds for the gang, and he didn't want to be killed by them on the day of the gang's ceremony......"
"Nonsense, you spew blood!" The fake gang leader knew that the more he talked, the more unfavorable it would be for him, so he couldn't help but interrupt Zhuge Jian's words and shout. It goes without saying that most of the beggars and disciples in the hall are human spirits who make a living by begging, and they can naturally distinguish who is real and who is fake?
The fake gang leader knew that the diorama had been pierced, his eyes were confused, his right hand tightly grasped the green bamboo scepter, and he turned to the elders behind him in a panic and asked, "Eight respected elders, don't you believe that you are really the helper?"
It's a pity that the eight elders who are also expressionless have not had time to speak, and behind the thick and old Buddhist hall, eight more elders with angry expressions suddenly appeared, among which the leader was a young scholar about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and a handsome face, and his style was flying.
At this time, the beggars in the palace, including the "Divine Stick Green Dragon" Zhuge Jian, were also shocked and inexplicable, and they didn't expect to break their heads, even the eight elders with strong martial arts were tricked by others, and they were disguised and impersonated, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake, indicating that its power is strong and ruthless, and there are many talents, and it seems that the entire rivers and lakes are about to rise into monstrous waves.
