Chapter 2: The golden cicada sheds its shell and counts the thousand-year-old love of the bloodline

Section 1: Life and Death

Back in Yangzhou, it's the end of July, which is the hottest time of the year. Everyone moved to Juxian Villa outside the city to escape the summer. Zhuang was full of children's laughter and laughter, and it was very lively, but the three masters Tianci and Gong Ming were ordered by Ren Tianqi to stay in Qiling Temple, and Lu Shixing, a rolling dragon, accompanied them to deal with many ordinary affairs in the beggar gang, waiting for Tang Shengzhi's arrival. The two factions in the gang have already made an agreement on February 2 next year, so it is inconvenient to rush to compete at this time, and everyone knows that Lin Xuefei has returned to the gang to deal with the affairs of the gang, and he is the brother of Ren Tianqi, the general who now supports the army and has self-respect, spanning the 14 states of Weizhen on both sides of the Huai River, and is the righteous grandson of the old gang leader Yin, whose life and death are uncertain, and everyone has no choice but to temporarily take charge of the position of the gang leader in the world, so as to end the embarrassing situation of the world's largest gang without a leader.

Ren Tianqi and others live in Juxian Villa and have a lot of contacts with Longqiu Villa.

The retirement of the old owner of Longqiu Village and the broken arm injury of the uncle Qiu Chuanling finally greatly affected the business of the Zhuangli Dart Bureau, although it was Ren Tianqi secretly helped, after maintaining it for two years, Qiu's father and son still reluctantly closed the dart business of this million profits, and transferred out of the Yuanwei Dart Bureau. Qiu Chuanzhu, the eldest lady of Zhuangzhong, has not yet married, but she has made a marriage contract with the Gusu Murong family, and she can get married only after Murong Changhate retreats and practice.

It just so happened that on this day, his mentor Nangong Xiong, who was also Saihua Tuo Gu Yiping, was a guest in Juxian Village with the Qiu family father and son. Everyone was chatting in the hall, and they expected the disappearance of Yin Kaishan's Yin gang leader. Ren Tianqi talked about the characteristics of the flame palm and the flat fingers of the right hand of the person who went to deceive Yin Kaishan.

Gu Yiping analyzed: "The kidnapping of the old gang leader is not the door of life and death, but the fireworks alliance, only these two; if it is done by the door of life and death, it must be related to the battle of Yangzhou Chongya Academy; if it is done by the fireworks alliance, then the feud is impossible to check, as for the Qingyuan faction of the West Gate of the Southern Fireworks Alliance or the Liu Zhihui faction of the Northern Fireworks League, it is difficult to say." What is inconceivable to everyone is that why did the Fireworks Alliance kidnap such an old man who is already 70 years old, and Old Man Yin has neither many belongings nor any priceless treasures to pass on; or someone else will fall in love with the position of the leader of the beggar gang and the two great divine skills of the beggar gang? It is not known where Liu Zhihui is superior, but the three-eyed Guanyin is so high that it is estimated that he may not be able to look down on the two great magic skills of the beggar gang. ”

Ren Tianqi said: "Listen to Mr. Big, the Fireworks Alliance is now an incompatible opponent with the door of life and death, and it is pinched tightly. It is also reasonable to frame each other, if this is the case, the old man is very likely to be taken away by the door of life and death. ”

When everyone was uncertain and guessing, the old owner of Qiu glanced at his son Qiu Chuanling, sighed long, and waved his hand.

Qiu Chuanling understood, and hurriedly got up and whispered a few words to Tian Muzuo and Ma Benqing who were at the door. Tian Ma and the two waved their hands away from the family, closed the doors and windows, and stood on guard outside.

Everyone didn't understand what the Qiu family father and son meant, Ren Tianqi looked a little red, and vaguely felt that the old owner must have some shocking secret to say in his heart, and even had a lot to do with the disappearance of the old gang leader, so he stared at the Qiu family father and son.

The old farmer coughed, looked up at everyone, and said astringently: "Hey, the matter of Old Man Yin, the old man's heart is very bright, and it is also my own fault, no wonder others, it is still me who is involved in Old Man Yin!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their ears.

Ren Tianqi was wondering why the father and son of the Qiu family had never mentioned this matter before, Ren Tianqi's heart instantly thought of the matter of Chongya Academy, thinking of the matter of the old Qiu Zhuang owner Jinpan washing his hands, sighed secretly, and then slowly closed his eyes, his mind was in chaos, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, thinking that the old man Yin fell into the hands of the door of life and death, and it would be even more uncertain about life and death.

The old owner of Qiu said: "The one who intercepts the old gang leader must be the person in the door of life and death, this is not to be suspicious!"

A little red said: "But the one who went to the Qiling Temple to cheat was the people in the Fireworks Alliance?"

Old Master Qiu sighed, nodded at his son, and said, "The door of life and death is done according to the will of the Lin'an Imperial Court, how can the Fireworks Alliance not obey!"

Qiu Chuanling got up, bowed deeply to everyone, and said with a guilty face: "This matter has been suppressed in the hearts of my father and son for two years, and every time in the dead of night, my father and son often use wine to kill their sorrows, guilt and self-blame; My father and son are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but my father remembered that his sister Chuanzhu had not yet married, and he had not yet learned the arts, so he swallowed his anger and did not say the reason for this for two years. ”

Qiu Chuanling turned his head to look at the old father who was hanging his head on the side, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's better for you to come along, Mr. Gu and Brother Qi are not outsiders, so they won't laugh at my father and son." ”

The old farmer raised his head, the tiger and tiger majesty on his face had long been gone, in just two years, the old owner was haggard and old, especially a pair of eyes, maybe it was too much drinking, it had already been bloodshot, yellow and turbid.

The old farmer sighed and said: "One night in March last year, I was sitting in the study, trying to fill in a few new words, and suddenly I saw someone outside the window coughing deliberately. I wondered in my heart, who was so bold and dared to break into my Longqiu Village at night, and those who could avoid the Mingka secret whistle in the village must be not weak. When I opened the letter, I saw that it was a book, and it turned out to be the life and death book of the door of life and death. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

The old farmer said: "Not only the name of the family is written on the book, but even the family members of the major dart bureaus outside are also listed on it, and nothing is missing." Bo Shang also accused my father and son of participating in the fight of Chongya Academy, saying that they had caused heavy losses to the door of life and death and committed a heinous crime; however, in the two generations of my Qiu family's righteousness and benevolence, and loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, I could let the old and young in my village have a way to live, but the conditions were: first, to join the door of life and death, to contribute to the door of life and death, and to contribute to the court; second, if you do not join the door of life and death, you need to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, never to intervene in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and you need to hand over 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold to the court; third, you must not talk to outsiders about the door of life and death for the rest of your life; and fourth, you need to assist the court in arresting several other accomplices who participated in the dueling affairs of the academy。 Bo Shang also instructed me to go to Xishu Gang outside Deyang City in the morning to meet and talk. ”

Mr. Gu said, "What about later?"

The old farmer smiled bitterly: "Old man, I may be old, maybe I am really greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am no longer the two-gun commander who was in the limelight back then." I just can't let go of my family. I sat there all night, thinking about it. The next time, I went to the agreed place alone, and saw that there were seven people on the other side, all dressed in brocade gray robes and masks, all of them only showed their eyes, and they couldn't see who the other party was. ”

The old owner said: "During the conversation, the other party not only pointed out that the old gang leader Yin, the Shaolin host Master Minghui participated in the academy fight, and even suspected that the three masters such as Tianming of Qiling Temple were in charge of the Tang Sect. At that time, the other party also forced me to ask who the other three were, old man, I would never tell Tianqi, Tingyu and Qiu Chuji Qiu Daxia. After a tongue war, the old man and I immediately withdrew from the rivers and lakes and no longer cared about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and exchanged one million taels of silver for the sins of the other three. Shortly thereafter, the old gang leader Yin had an accident. My father and son knew what was going on in their hearts, but we had already spoken first, so in the past two years, my father and son have been silent, but they can't bear it, and they are in a dilemma, and they are wrong to everyone and the beggars. ”

Ren Tianqi and Wen Tingyu were busy getting up and kneeling down, thanking the old owner for his great kindness.

Gu Yiping frowned on the side and said: "In this way, this door of life and death is actually a minion of the imperial court, and it is actually a killer trick trained by the imperial court, and it is specially used to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes who are not loyal to the imperial court and have two hearts." No wonder it has long been rumored among the people that this door of life and death first appeared when Yue Pengju was killed twenty years ago, it turns out that this is really the case, sad!"

Old Master Qiu nodded and said, "That is, the old man remembers that one of the seven people is called Hou Ye, presumably this person must have been sent by the imperial court to unify the door of life and death." ”

Ren Tianqi said hurriedly: "Yes, there is indeed a person in the Gate of Life and Death who lives in Kyushu to lead the town. In that case, Old Man Yin must have been swept away by the door of life and death, but I don't know what the old man's life and death are now?"

A little red smiled and said: "I don't have to worry about this, Old Man Yin has no worries about life and death, but he is not free, maybe the old man himself doesn't want to come back!"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly said: "Why? ”

Yihong nodded at the old owner of Qiu, and said with a smile: "The reason for this has to be explained clearly and clearly by the old man." ”

The old owner of Qiu Zhuang vomited his depression in his heart, and he was frank in his heart, and seeing that everyone did not have much blame, he didn't feel arrogant and angry, he smiled, and said: "Yes, Tingyu is really quick-witted, and the old man just expected that the old gang leader had no worries about his life so he suppressed it for two years and did not speak." Why, the imperial court used the door of life and death, not because of how many people it killed and how many fires, but also because it was afraid of doing bad things for fear of arousing panic among the people and causing resistance, but its intention was to deter and oppress the world, so that the people of the world should not act rashly, so that the people of the world would submit to the court and be used by the court. Therefore, the door of life and death is still a rule, and it is only aimed at the person concerned, and it is often necessary to persuade the party concerned to submit to the court and be used by the court; when the persecution and temptation are hopeless, the door of life and death will kill people to warn the world, with the intention of killing chickens and showing monkeys. I am so, I want Shaolin Abbot Master Minghui to be punished for three years, presumably also forced by the pressure of life and death, after all, Shaolin Temple is a temple that has been sealed and favored by the imperial courts of previous dynasties, and it must not affect the reputation of Shaolin Temple for hundreds of years because of Master Minghui alone. The same is true for Old Man Yin, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and it has always been chivalrous, patriotic and protective of the people. Besides, it is also a benevolent and moral act for us to make a big fuss about Chongya Academy, but it just happened to spoil the major affairs of the imperial court, and we were not guilty of negligence, and we did not put it to death. The old gang leader is the most righteous person in the world, and he will not be bought by the court, nor will he affect others, but he can only promise himself and exchange his freedom for punishment by the court. The court must also have thrown a rat into a taboo, not only for fear that the matter of killing the old gang leader would be exposed, which would attract the beggars and the world, but also worried that the few people who had not been found out would make trouble under the pretext of making trouble again, so they could only detain the old gang leader indefinitely. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all nodded their heads and said it was reasonable.

Ren Tianqi was overjoyed, as long as the old gang leader did not worry about life and death, with his own skills and the might of the Xuzhou soldiers, he would always rescue the old gang leader sooner or later. went to the heart of a matter, Ren Tianqi was happy, and hurriedly asked people to put down the banquet early, wanting to get drunk with everyone. On the wine table, Ren Tianqi also felt that this fireworks alliance was built for the imperial court, and everyone shook their hands and disagreed, and they all laughed at Ren Tianqi's whimsy, saying that this pure killing gang was not allowed by the laws of the imperial court, and how could the imperial court destroy its words and laugh at the world. Ren Tianqi just smiled, and only a little red did he understand the purpose of Ren Tianqi's move. Everyone gathered to drink until the fourth watch of the night.
