Chapter Forty-Nine: The Iron Palm Gang Leader

Back in the guest room, Ding Yu opened the letter and recognized Fang Qingyu's handwriting. Due to the very high cost of thousands of miles of books in this era, there were not too many polite words on the letter, but it can be seen between the lines that he was very pleased with Ding Yu's plan, and also listed in detail the Mingjiao stronghold on the road from central Hunan to Kunlun Mountain after the matter was completed, and who to connect with.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ding Yu packed up his bags and set off, from Changsha to Changde via Yiyang, rested for a day, and the next day took a boat down the Yuan River, and crossed the Luxi River in a few days to the main peak of Tiezhang Peak. He left his horses at the foot of the mountain and made his way up the mountain road on foot. Not long after, outside a pine forest, two black-clothed men with swords in their hands flashed out of the forest and asked, "Who is coming?"

Ding Yu put his hands together and said: "Poor monk Ding Yu, I am tired of the two leaders of the Gui Gang Qiu, so I said that the old man of the Holy Fire came to pay a visit." ”

Seeing that Ding Yu was large and extraordinary, the two black-clothed men did not dare to slack off, and one said: "Please master here later, I will pass it on later." The other turned and trotted along the trail, and in a moment disappeared into the woods.

After about a stick of incense, a tall old man in kudzu clothes led five black-clothed men down the mountain road, walked to about three feet in front of Ding Yu, stopped, and asked in a deep voice: "This Zen master, I don't know what advice you have when you come to find the old man?"

Ding Yu stared at it for a long time, and chuckled: "Qiu Qianzhang senior, but I haven't seen you for a few months, so I don't recognize the poor monk?"

The old man's face sank, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a smile, and scolded with a smile: "You little monk is really capable, even the gang members often can't tell us two brothers, why do you guess right?"

Ding Yu smiled and did not answer, although Qiu Qianzhang and Qiu Qianren are siblings, and their faces are the same, but their martial arts are very different, when they reach the level of Qiu Qianren, their breathing and footsteps are different from ordinary people, and Ding Yu himself is gradually entering the super-first-class level, which is naturally a hole in the fire. However, he can't say to Qiu Qianzhang, your martial arts are too low, I can see through it at a glance!

Seeing this, Qiu Qianzhang no longer asked. His temperament is somewhat similar to that of the old naughty boy, he is very arrogant regardless of dignity and humility, and he likes to deal with juniors the most, so he walked up and patted Ding Yu on the shoulder with great familiarity, and said with a smile: "The old man knows, he helped you in Taihu Lake that day, and you must have made a special trip to thank you today, right......? Ding Yu was amused when he heard it, but he wouldn't expose him in front of the Iron Palm Gang, in short, he kept nodding, occasionally echoing him, and let him blow nonsense.

However, at one hour or three o'clock, a few people walked to a big house on the mountainside, and there was an old man sitting at the top of the hall, dressed and looked exactly the same as Qiu Qianzhang, but his bearing was different. There were more than a dozen men and women sitting on both sides with capable expressions and sinister eyebrows, and at a glance they knew that they were characters who had walked in the bloody rain, and they were the high-level elders of the Iron Palm Gang.

Ding Yu strode forward and saluted: "Ding Yu, the Great Dragon Elephant Dharma King of the Ming Sect, is on the orders of Sect Leader Fang and the Second Elder of Xiaoyao, and I have come to visit the Iron Palm Gang Leader Qiu Senior!"

Qiu Qianren stood up, gave a hand, and said with a smile: "The Dharma King doesn't have to be polite. I have always been good friends with your sect, and the two old brothers and the two elders have been friends for decades. The Dharma King is here, don't be formal, just like in the Kunlun Mountains!" After speaking, he asked people to serve fragrant tea, and on the other hand, he introduced the elders of the Iron Palm Gang to Ding Yu. The two of them chatted and greeted old friends on both sides, and soon it was time for dinner. Qiu Qianren made a big banquet to entertain Ding Yu. Ding Yu knew that Qiu Qianren treated him so politely, not because of how famous he was, but because of his old friendship with Mingjiao, he had a little more confidence in the purpose of this trip.

After the dinner, Qiu Qianren asked the boy to lead Ding Yu to the guest room, and asked the horses at the foot of the mountain to be led to the stable of the Iron Palm Gang. After Ding Yu settled down, he asked the boy to talk to Qiu Qianren, saying that he had something to ask to see, and hoped to talk at night. Soon, the boy came back and said, "The helper is waiting for you in the practice room." Then he led Ding Yu to a separated stone house.

As soon as Ding Yufu entered the house, he felt that a heat wave was coming, it turned out that there was a large furnace of charcoal burning in the house, and a large pot was set up on it, and the pot was steaming iron sand. Qiu Qianren boiled his palms in the pot for a while, then lifted it up and slammed it on a sandbag hanging in the air. The sandbag was light and small, and it seemed to weigh no more than a few catties, and Qiu Qianren's palm hit it as quickly as a palm, but it didn't move at all, but the sound was extremely loud.

Ding Yu watched quietly for a while, and gradually understood the truth, each palm of Qiu Qianren seemed to hit a place in the sandbag, but in fact, the palm power was scattered around the sandbag, and at the same time squeezed inward, so although the palm power was large, the sandbag did not move slightly. This is just the opposite of Ding Yu's vajra fist, Qiu Qianren's palm power collapsed from the outside to the inside, while Ding Yu's fist strength exploded from the inside out. His heart moved, and he faintly felt that this kind of luck and his fist strength seemed to be complementary, so although Qiu Qianren's movements were monotonous, he watched it with relish, not only that, but his hands also unconsciously simulated Qiu Qianren's iron palm strength.

Qiu Qianren turned his back to Ding Yu to practice, and caught a glimpse of the figure shaking under the lamp, he turned his head slightly, but saw Ding Yu's hands or fists or palms, as if they were in line with his iron palm skills. He was taken aback, this set of exercises for practicing the iron palm was not passed down by the master, but after he practiced the iron palm skills to the top, he figured it out on his own, even if a first-class master was watching, he couldn't see the doorway. He asked the boy to lead Ding Yu to the practice room, originally because Ding Yu was too young, but he took on the position of the king of the Ming Sect, he was curious, and wanted to examine Ding Yu's vision and patience, but he never expected that Ding Yu just watched from the side for a while, and actually figured out the way of iron palm power.

He immediately got up, asked the boy to put out the stove, washed his hands with medicinal water, and said to Ding Yu: "The Dharma King is not to blame the old man for being rude, and the old man is busy with chores during the day, so he has to take time to practice kung fu for a while at night, so as not to decline in his skills." ”

Ding Yu hurriedly said: "Why did the Gang Leader Qiu say this, the Gang Leader can let the little monk watch the practice, which shows that he has more trust in the little monk." The little monk has benefited a lot, thank you too late, how dare you blame!"

Qiu Qianren looked at Ding Yu, shook his head and exclaimed: "The Dharma King's body is practiced horizontally, his breathing is long, and it is obvious that his internal and external skills have been perfected, and what is even more rare is that he is young, not arrogant or impatient, and his demeanor is steady, and he is really a talent in the world! Liang Zhong's two old friends (the second elder of Xiaoyao) are really unique, and they can bring talents like the Dharma King into the teaching. If I have someone like the Dharma King in my Iron Palm Gang, why don't I worry?"

Ding Yu didn't dare to say: "I don't dare to be the leader of the Qiu gang." Gang leader Qiu picked up hundreds of masters of the Hengshan faction with a pair of iron palms, although the little monk did not see it in person, but he heard the two elders of Xiaoyao mention it from time to time, and he was very impressed. In the past 20 years, the Iron Palm Gang has been running a good life and prosperity, and I teach that even if it is far away in the Kunlun Mountains, you can also hear the prestige of the Iron Palm Gang, but the little monk has recently heard some news, and may be a little obstructive to your gang, and I don't know whether to talk about it. ”

Qiu Qianren beckoned Ding Yu to sit down at the table and chair outside, and said, "The King of the Law may as well talk about it." ”

Ding Yu Zhengse said: "The Qiu gang leader can know that after Temujin unified the grassland desert, he was dissatisfied with the previous suppression of the Jin country, and fought back, and the Jin army was defeated like a mountain, and now half of the land of the Jin country has changed hands, and not long ago even Zhongdu was occupied by Mongolia, but I am afraid that in a few years, the destruction of the whole country is inevitable." ”

Qiu Qianren shrugged his eyebrows, and said quietly: "The old man has lived in Hunan for a long time, and he may have heard about the affairs of other countries, but he doesn't care much about it, is this what the Dharma King said is the one who is in the way of our gang?"

Ding Yu shook his head slowly and said: "Why should the Qiu gang master hide it from me, on the Taihu Lake Guiyunzhuang that day, what Brother Ling did is already very clear, and your gang is now running for the Jin country." ”

Qiu Qianren's face was cold, and he didn't answer, but Ding Yu could feel that his aura had changed, and if he didn't deal with it well, he would have to do it. Ding Yu smiled slightly: "Back then, Shangguan Jiannan, the leader of your gang, was dedicated to serving the country, but he was victimized by the traitorous ministers, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes were all stuffocated. In order to avenge his teacher, the Qiu gang leader did not hesitate to throw himself into the enemy country, others may have misunderstood, but my Mingjiao people have experienced the death of the previous generation of gang leader Zhong Xiang, but they only regret it. ”

Qiu Qianren remembered Zhong Xiang's rebellion decades ago, compared to what he is doing now to destroy the Song Dynasty, but the means are different, and he can barely be called like-minded, so he snorted coldly and calmed down the energy in his body.

Ding Yu continued: "It's just that now the Jin country is in danger, and the gold lord Xuanzong not only did not go all out to fight against the Mongolian iron hoof, but went against the grain, made enemies everywhere, conquered the Western Xia in the west, invaded the Great Song Dynasty in the south, and wasted national strength. However, with its madness, it will definitely squander all the power in its hands before it perishes. The Iron Palm Gang has been in constant friction with the Beggar Gang recently, presumably at the behest of the Jin Kingdom, right?" Ding Yu heard all this information from the Changsha Branch, and combined with the memories of later generations of the plot and historical trend of the novel, it is easy to draw accurate inferences.

Qiu Qianren was silent, but did not refute. Ding Yu continued: "In terms of national strength, if Mongolia had not risen, the Jin State might have been slightly stronger than the Great Song Dynasty, but now that nearly half of the Jin Kingdom has fallen, it is no longer as far as the Great Song Dynasty, and even if you try your best, it will be difficult to shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty." The Iron Palm Gang cooperated with the Jin State to cause chaos in the Song Dynasty, which may be able to stir up chaos for a while, but it will not last long. When the Jin Kingdom is destroyed by the Mongols, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to free up its hands to clean up the interior, and I am afraid that the Iron Palm Gang will not be able to escape the fate of the Ming Sect!"

Qiu Qianren finally spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "According to what you say, is it impossible for me to repay my master's revenge after all?"

"Otherwise!" Ding Yu said: "Although Ling Xianshi was killed by traitorous ministers, just like Yue Wumu's unjust case, although it was Qin Hui who started it, it was Gaozong's instructions and the persecution of the Jin State behind it, so in this regard, Song Jinju is the culprit." Needless to say, the Jin Kingdom is about to perish, but the Great Song Dynasty still has decades to breathe, and the Qiu Gang Leader has excellent martial arts, so why not withdraw from the whirlpool of the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible, focus on tracking down the officials who ordered the massacre of the Iron Palm Gang back then, and then slash the enemy, wouldn't it be happy?"

Qiu Qianren said hatefully: "I have already found out what happened back then, the main thing is the treacherous Tang Sijin, but he hated him decades ago and died, after I practiced martial arts, I wanted to come to the door to seek revenge, kill him all over the old and young, although the old thief died, but he knew that he had too many enemies in his life, so before he died, he ordered his descendants to spend a lot of money to hire masters from all walks of life to guard the house, in addition to several elders of the Hengshan faction at that time, even the Dali Duan family was also favored by the court because of the court, so he sent a master who was proficient in a yang finger to stay in his house. I was invincible with two fists and four hands, hit a sword and a finger, and finally escaped from the fight, and then practiced for several years, and when the iron palm was successful, he immediately destroyed the Hengshan faction, but unfortunately the Dali Duan clan was too powerful, and I could only find some small trouble for them. ”

I see! The source of the two incidents of the iron palm annihilating Hengshan and the palm striking Yinggu's young children is still the teacher's hatred!
