37. The Messenger of Heaven (2)

Fan Wu's long sword was added, but his face was not afraid, he straightened his chest, and said proudly: "Don't talk nonsense, there is a kind of killing Lao Tzu! If Lao Tzu frowns, he is not a hero!"

The man in gray sneered: "I'd rather die than say it, it's just knowing the way!" Hmph, if the old man destroys your great wisdom and divides the rudder, it will be as easy as a snap." If you want this surnamed Fan to be immortal, quickly tell the whereabouts of the person Qiu Dalun saved!"

Fan Wu's eyes were closed, and he simply kept silent. Under the vibration of the group of beggars, the rat bogey, the "dog killing array" stopped by itself, and everyone looked at each other and couldn't make a sound.

The boss in the gray-clothed people was impatient and shouted: "I'll count one, two, three, if you don't tell the whereabouts of the surname Hu, I will kill this surnamed Fan first, and then kill all of them one by one!"

His two cold and lightning eyes swept towards the group of beggars, and he shouted in a long voice: "One-two-three!" Before the sound of the word "three" was over, he suddenly heard Teng Qingfa shouting: "Let go of Fifth Brother Fan!" With a snort, he broke the rod from the oblique thorn and stood out, and with a move, "the poisonous dragon came out of the hole", and stabbed straight towards the gray-clothed man's face. Under the firelight, the gray-clothed man sneered, Yu Tengqingfa's broken rod ignored it, his wrist was steep and the sword was slanted, only to see a flash of white light, and the tip of the sword had stabbed Tengqingfa's heart. Everyone exclaimed in unison, seeing that Teng Qingfa's life could not be saved.

At this moment, the sound of breaking the sky was heard violently, and a hidden weapon flew from more than ten zhang away, across the small courtyard, and crashed into the sword blade in the hand of the gray-clothed man. The tiger's mouth has cracked.

The man in gray saw that the hidden weapon that hit his long sword was actually a half-dried branch, and he was so shocked that he forgot to block the broken stick stabbed in Teng Qingfa's hand, and with a "poof" sound, he entered his chest at the same time. Originally, with his martial arts, he didn't put the broken stick in his eyes, but he was caught off guard, and he was surprised that it was too late.

The man in gray let out a low roar and slammed his fist. knocked Teng Qingfa to the ground and spurted blood. The man in gray took two steps back, his eyes staring at the head of the rod inserted into his heart, with a strange look in his eyes, as if he did not believe in the right thing, but his body slowly fell soft.

The change took a turn for the worse, and the beggars barely believed their eyes, and they were all stunned and opened their mouths wide. Don't make a sound.

In the midst of the torches, the figure flickered, and there was one more person in front of everyone.

Teng Qingfa and Fan Wu came to their senses at this time, and the two escaped death. All of them have palpitations. At this time, he looked intently, and under the firelight, he saw that the person who came was actually a white-robed young man with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, and it was hard to believe for a while that it was this person who shot down the long sword of the gray-clothed man with a withered branch.

Fan Wu clasped his fists and saluted. Said: "In Xia Teng Qingfa and Fan Wu, thank you for the grace of Shaoxia for saving your life! Don't you dare to ask for your name?"

The young man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother Fan doesn't need to be polite. In Qinchuan, the Lower Wind Fort, he came unexpectedly and took the liberty to disturb each other. It's really abrupt, please help your friends forgive Tang's sins!"

Fan Wu was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to ask again, when he suddenly heard Teng Qingfa stretch out his sleeves to wipe the blood, and interjected: "Engong turned out to be the new leader of the Baixi Gang Qin who first revealed the Changfeng conspiracy in Shaolin Temple, defeated the head of the Huashan faction, and repelled the strange Jie Hou Kunlun in the Western Regions.

Qin Chuan said: "Brother Fan is serious. I saw the two eldest brothers in Zipei County, and was about to say hello, when I suddenly saw the two and the gray-clothed man running out of the city, acting suspiciously, so they followed from afar. Because he was in a hurry, he made a rash move, Meng Lang's place, please take care of it!"

It turned out that Qin Chuan followed the gray-clothed man and Fan Teng here, hiding in the trees next to him. He had already heard from his accent that the man in gray was the one who intended to exterminate the Iron Fork Village on Jiuli Mountain that day. This person is the "Heavenly Messenger" under Mu Changfeng, his martial arts are high, and he is cunning, and even Jiang Chang, the second owner of the Iron Fork Village, "Iron Swallow", was killed by him. I remembered that day because of my help to the heroes of the Iron Fork Village, the man in gray was injured by Deng Bufan, and left in a hurry, and met here unexpectedly.

When the gray-clothed man wanted to kill the disciples of the beggar gang, he didn't let alone think about it in the crisis, tore off the dead branches casually, and struggled to shoot down the long sword, saving Teng Qingfa's life. He didn't expect that the man in gray was so masterful, and under the shock, he couldn't react for a while, and he died under the broken stick of Teng Qingfa.

Seeing that it was the leader of the Baixi Gang who had arrived, Fan Wu and the others greeted him and thanked him, and Qin Chuan returned the salute one by one. Fan Wu's face was overjoyed, and he said: "Gang Leader Qin doesn't have to be polite! Our Gang Leader Gu once said that Gang Leader Qin's young hero is a good friend of our gang, and he saved our lives today, I really don't know how to thank him! Let's see where this man in black is sacred?"

The crowd came to the body of the man in black and removed the black cloth that covered his face. Fan Wu took the torch from one of the gangsters, moved it to the gray-clothed man's face, and suddenly snorted, exclaiming: "It's him, how could it be him?"

Teng Qing Faqi said: "Fifth Brother Fan, who is this person?"

Fan Wu looked suspicious on his face, picked up the torch and shone it on the gray-clothed man's face a few times, thought for a moment, and said to the group of beggars: "Since Lord Qiu Helm has something to go out, today's party is canceled. Brother Liang, Brother Qi, you take someone to prepare a coffin shroud, wrap the bodies of the two murdered brothers first, and then bury them after consulting the master of the hill. Let's disperse first!"

At that moment, the group of beggars carried the bodies of the two people and left one after another.

In a moment, the beggars in front of and behind the small courtyard dispersed, leaving only Qin Chuan and Fan Teng.

Qin Chuan had already seen the face of the man in black by the light of the fire, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and he stood there for a long time. It turned out that the man was a long-faced old man about fifty years old, with three locks of white beard under his chin, but he was the head of the Taishan faction who had met in Shaolin Temple.

Qin Chuan was stunned: "No wonder I always feel déjà vu when I fight with the Muxu Dao people in the Shengquan Temple, it turns out that the number of his martial artists is the same as that made by the gray-clothed people on Jiuli Mountain, and they are all the mastery of the Taishan faction!"

He has heard the name of Guxu Dao for a long time, and he knows that Lu Dao is a martial arts predecessor of the same generation as his father, who is highly respected and admired in his heart. At this moment, I suddenly saw that he was the presiding officer of the Taishan faction, and he actually served as the messenger of the Heavenly Dao, poisoning the rivers and lakes, and making despicable acts. I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.

Sure enough, I heard Fan Wu whispering: "Gang Master Qin, this, how is this possible, how can the Heavenly Dao Envoy be the famous Gu Xuan Sect Master?

Qin Chuan thought to himself: "Most likely this Guxu Dao Master has already defected to the Heavenly Dao Alliance before I went to Shaolin Temple!" sighed, and then explained the reason why the Heavenly Dao Envoy intended to eradicate the Iron Fork Village in Jiuli Mountain, and now he wants to deal with the beggar gang.

At that time, the torch in Fan Wu's hand burned out and extinguished, and the cold moon did not know when to burrow into the clouds, and a little cold star was faintly visible in the sky, flickering uncertainly, and it was dark and dreary in all directions. Fan Wu listened to Qin Chuan's words. Shocked, he sighed: "Gang Leader Qin, I can't imagine that even the Taishan Sect will willingly obey the orders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, it's really unbelievable to say! We must report this matter to Lord Qiu Helm as soon as possible!"

Qin Chuan said: "Don't you dare to ask where the Qiu Duo Master is?" Fan Wu said: "Don't dare to hide the Qin Gang Master, our Qiu Duo Master has something important to go to Liangshan!"

Qin Chuan thought to himself: "It seems that the important people in the beggar gang really went to Liangshan, and the news of Yumei is really true." He looked at Gu Xu's corpse on the ground and said, "Two big brothers, how should this corpse be disposed of?"

Teng Qingfa said: "This matter is very important, and we must be cautious. We first consulted with the Qiu Helm Lord and the elders of the gang. It's easy to decide! What does the Qin Gang Leader think?"

Qin Chuan secretly thought that according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he was not a member of the beggar gang, so it was inconvenient to give orders, so he said: "Everything is subject to the ideas of the two eldest brothers." There was a pause. He also said: "I heard everyone's answers in Xia Shicai, and when I mentioned the name of Hu Yitu's predecessors, I don't know why?"

Fan Wudao: "This ......" hesitated, and seemed unsure whether he should tell Qin Chuan or not. Teng Qingfa said: "Fifth Brother Fan." The Qin gang leader is our life-saving benefactor, and he is also a person from the chivalrous Gale Fort and the Baixi Gang, chivalrous and courageous. We are like-minded people, so why hide it. Tell him!"

Fan Wu nodded and said, "A few days ago, the Qiu Helm Master of the Gang led the Ben Duo brothers to save a person on the canal, and it was Hu Yitu, a divine doctor known as the 'Red-haired Doctor Demon' on the rivers and lakes!

Qin Chuan said: "Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, Doctor Hu is kind to the younger brother, and he is a friend but not an enemy." Where is he now?"

Fan Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Gang Master Qin, please come with me!"

At that moment, the three of them left the small courtyard and went up to the river embankment. Qin Chuan learned from Tengqingfa that the long river in front of him was the Grand Canal, and this riverside deserted house was the temporary meeting place for the beggars to help the Dazhi rudder.

At that time, the moon was faint and the stars were thin, and the night was hazy, and the three of them walked along the river embankment. The cool breeze is quiet, only the sound of waves crashing on the shore is heard, and occasionally the fishing song on the boat in the distance floats.

In the middle of the line, Fan Wu suddenly said: "It's here!" Teng Qingfa didn't wait for him to speak, he had already pursed his lips and exhaled, but let out a burst of barking dogs.

Qin Chuan listened to him learn vividly, as if he had been kicked by a dog barking in pain, secretly funny, and was about to ask, but he heard a sound on the river, and a canopy boat slowly approached. Only then did Qin Chuan realize that this was actually a wild ferry.

The three of them walked to the ferry, Qin Chuan looked at it, and saw that it was a small canopy boat, dark but without lights, and it was still six or seven zhang away from the shore, so it no longer moved. I only heard a person at the bow of the boat shouting: "Is it the helmsman of the hill, his subordinates are reporting something urgent!"

Teng Qingfa said loudly: "Brother Zhao, Master Qiu Helm has something to go out, it's Fifth Brother Fan and I here! Quickly row the boat over!" The man said: "Is it Fifth Brother Fan and Brother Teng, I'm here!"

Fan Wu said to Qin Chuan: "Gang Master Qin, let's get on the boat!" Qin Chuan and Teng Qingfa followed and got on the boat.

When Qin Chuan fixed his eyes, he saw that the man was a tall man, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the night. Fan Wudao: "Gang Master Qin, this Brother Zhao is the captain of this ship, and he is also the brother of our gang!" and introduced Qin Chuan to the captain. Qin Chuan greeted the father-in-law.

The surnamed Zhao Gonggong looked very surprised, and said, "I didn't expect that the Qin Gang Leader was so young that he could defeat the head of Huashan and the Yin Yang Monkey of the Western Regions. is the so-called 'Gale Divine Sword Green Jade Xiao', the children of the 'Chivalrous Gale Castle' are really heroes. I admire it so much!" Qin Chuan listened to his extraordinary conversation, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Brother Zhao praised it falsely!"

The captain pierced the penny into the water, slid the boat into the middle of the river, about a few dozen feet from the shore, and then went down the penny and anchored into the water. Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, and then understood: "He is afraid that there will be people watching on the shore." "Looking around, there are no other ships near the left and right in the quiet night, so you don't have to worry about someone overhearing it.

Fan Wudao: "Brother Zhao, you said that there is an urgent matter to find the helmsman of Qiu, what is the matter?" The captain sighed: "Doctor Hu doesn't seem to be successful!"

Fan Wuyi was startled and said, "Where is Doctor Hu?

The captain led the three men into the cabin, lit the candles, and saw one lying on a low bed, but covered with two thick quilts. As soon as Qin Chuan entered the cabin, he felt that the medicine was rushing to his nose, and when he looked through the light, he had already recognized that the person was the "red-haired doctor demon" Hu Yitu, but his red hair was messy at the moment, his face was like gold paper, and his eyes were closed. Qin Chuan stretched out his hand to probe his nose, but he was so angry that he saw that it was useless.

Under the candlelight, the thin face of the captain showed a look of compassion, sighed, and said: "Lord Qiu Helm asked his brother to take care of Divine Doctor Hu, and my brother has been taking medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Divine Doctor Hu himself for the past two days, but somehow, his health is getting worse and worse, and his life is difficult to protect......" Speaking of this, he shook his head, sighed again, and stopped. (To be continued......)
