Chapter Seventy-One: The Northern Beggars Are Not Dead, and the West Poison Is Still There
Seeing the momentum of Lao Zhaohua's palm, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but feel his heart jump, although he also wanted to try to see if he could catch this palm, but he was afraid that he would make too much noise, and he would be heard by the guards and forbidden troops at the head of the city and found them. He didn't want to take it hard, so he immediately put a force under his feet and came out vertically. Jumped down from the canopy and stood in the shade of the trees.
Lao Zhaohua saw that he had avoided it, and immediately collected the strength of his palm, and if the clouds dispersed and the wind collected, it was not leaked at all. Although his palm is powerful, but when the palm power is collected, there is no longer any bit of energy overflowing, which is even more admirable. It shows that his martial arts have reached the point of being profound and exquisite, and he sends and receives from the heart.
If it is an ordinary character in the rivers and lakes, such a powerful palm is issued, and then it is suddenly forcibly restrained, and it must be vomited blood from internal injuries. Even with Yin Zhiping's current skills, he thought to himself that he couldn't do it as easily as Lao Zhaohua. However, if he wanted to withdraw his palm power, he would not be injured and vomit blood, but it was inevitable that the true qi in his body would fluctuate a little, and the strength that emitted could not be fully contained.
Lao Zhaohua retracted his palm, separated the willow branches through the canopy, and then fell into the shade of the tree, and when he saw Yin Zhiping, he couldn't help but look surprised, and said "Huh", looked at him and said: "Who are you kid, how can you be Huang Laoxi's magic power?"
"Sure enough, it's the old gang leader Hong!" Yin Zhiping sighed, bowed his hand and said: "The junior Yin Zhiping is a disciple of the Quanzhen faction, and he has asked for peace for the old gang leader Hong." ”
The old man in front of him is the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong, one of the five uniques in the world set by the first Huashan Sword Debate. The original Yin Zhiping had seen Hong Qigong more than ten years ago, and he knew what Hong Qigong looked like. From the moment Hong Qigong turned around to face him on the city wall, he had already recognized this person as Hong Qigong.
Moreover, it is a man who makes a fool. The "flying dragon in the sky" in the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" in Fang Cai's move cannot be faked. In the world, except for Guo Jing. Only Hong Qigong can make the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" with such palm power but can send and receive from the heart.
Originally, he thought that Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng had already fought to the death on Mount Hua like in the original book, and they ran out of energy together and died together. And without Yang Guo going to Huashan again, I am afraid that there will be no one to collect the bodies for them after the two of them die.
He had thought several times that he would go to Huashan when he returned to Zhongnanshan, first, to confirm whether his guess had come true, and secondly, since the northern beggar and the western poison had really died like in the original book, so he could collect their bodies and bury them and set up a grave.
But several times he failed to make the trip for various reasons, and now he has almost forgotten about it. Moreover, in recent years, there has been no news of Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng on the rivers and lakes, and he has already decided in his heart that the two of them are dead as in the original book. But I never thought that I would see Hong Qigong again today.
In fact, when Hong Qigong did not turn around. He had already guessed the identity of Hong Qigong in his heart. The image of such an old beggar, with such martial arts, is about to steal into the palace. In addition to the nine-fingered beggar who loves to eat and is greedy and has hid in the Great Song Palace for three months just to taste all kinds of court delicacies, who else will there be?
The reason why he didn't dare to be sure immediately and had doubts in his heart was because he had already decided in his heart that Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng died together on Mount Hua. Only then did he shoot out the willow leaves with a flick of his fingers to deliberately alarm Hong Qigong, asking him to turn around to confirm whether it was Hong Qigong.
Now Yin Zhiping has confirmed that the old beggar in front of him is indeed Hong Qigong. Immediately, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Since Hong Qigong is not dead, then look at Ouyang Feng is also not dead." It's just that I don't know if it's because Ouyang Feng hasn't gone up to Huashan like he used to, or if the two haven't bumped into each other, or because the two have fought. But he never fought to the death?" What was the reason, but he couldn't guess it in his heart, so he could only ask Hong Qigong later.
"Yin Zhiping!"
Hong Qigong looked at Yin Zhiping. Obviously, I don't remember that I saw the original Yin Zhiping more than ten years ago. Of course, the original Yin Zhiping can be said to be an unknown little person for more than ten years. Naturally, it is not noticeable, but the current Yin Zhiping is well-known in the rivers and lakes. The limelight is unbeatable. Even though Hong Qigong is now in a state of semi-seclusion, after hearing Yin Zhiping's name, he couldn't help but say with a look of surprise: "You are the disciple of Yin Zhiping, who beheaded the Mongolian marshal in the middle of the 100,000 Mongolian army in Xiangyang?"
Yin Zhiping said: "It's the junior." ”
Hong Qigong looked at him carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "I have heard of your name, you have been famous in the rivers and lakes in the past two years, and you have covered my stupid apprentice Guo Jing and Huang Rong's girl." Okay, okay, there is someone to succeed Wang Chongyang!" After sighing, he suddenly asked again: "By the way, how can you be Huang Laoxi's magic power?"
Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi are listed in the same five uniques, and they have been friends for decades, and they are very familiar with Huang Yaoshi's martial arts. can use a willow leaf as a hidden weapon to shoot out such a momentum, and there is only the magic power of the Eastern Evil in the rivers and lakes today, so he decided that it was Huang Yaoshi who was hidden in the willow tree. Although the willow leaf seemed a little too strong, he only thought that Huang Yaoshi was trying to play a joke with him, so he didn't use his full strength. The palm he just had just now was also going to make a joke with Huang Yaoshi.
The result was unexpected, I didn't think that it was not Huang Yaoshi who was hiding in the willow tree at all, but a little Taoist priest of the Quanzhen sect. But the technique he used just now was indeed a magic power, and he was able to see this accurately.
Hearing Hong Qigong ask again, Yin Zhiping replied: "The younger generation met the master of Huangdao once a few years ago, and when they talked about speculation, he passed on the junior's magic power on a whim. ”
Hong Qigong said with a smile: "I see, I said, you little Taoist priest is obviously a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, why did you go to learn Huang Laoxi's martial arts!"
Yin Zhiping laughed and said, "The junior just saw your figure and dress, and guessed that it might be you, so I made a disturbance to see if it was you, the senior?
Hong Qigong waved his hand and said: "What forgive me, I am always impatient with these false courtesies, you don't have to be so polite when you talk to me." You didn't hurt me just now. What's offended!"
After a pause, he touched his belly and said, "I am a young man, and I suddenly remembered that the five treasures of mandarin ducks I had eaten in this palace before were very delicious. Only then did I rush to Lin'an to try it. But I don't know what you, a little Taoist priest, are doing in the middle of the night without sleeping, wearing a night suit? Are you here to taste delicious food like me?"
"Not really. Yin Zhiping shook his head. Half-truths and half-truths: "I recently got the news that a famous defector disciple of my Quanzhen Sect hid in this Great Song Imperial Palace as an internal servant, so I want to come to find out if it is true?"
He came out in the middle of the night, in fact, to have a tryst with a beautiful woman. It was only because he saw Hong Qigong's figure that he followed him curiously. But he couldn't say this to Hong Qigong, so the thoughts in his heart were racing, so he used Zhao Zhijing's matter as an excuse.
"And such a thing?" Hong Qigong said. couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in amazement: "If he doesn't do a good Taoist priest, why should he be a eunuch?"
Yin Zhiping said: "This person secretly learned a very crooked martial art in private, but he was afraid that his martial arts would be abolished after being found out by the sect, so he defected." It may be that he felt that it was very safe to hide in the Ouchi Palace and would not be found by us, so he pretended to be an attendant and hid in the palace. However, this is only the inference of the juniors, and the news is not very conclusive, so the juniors have to enter the palace at night. I want to find out. ”
Hong Qigong said with a smile: "This is just right, the two of us just happened to sneak into the palace together." ”
Yin Zhiping remembered to inquire about Ouyang Feng's life and death, and pretended to sigh and said: "Your old man has seen the dragon on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and you can see it tonight." But it's really a blessing for the younger generations. ”
"The last time I heard about your old man's home was two years ago at the Heroes Conference of Dasheng Pass. Before the Heroes Conference, there was a ceremony for the beggar gang to pass the throne, and Elder Lu Youjiao took over as the gang leader. At that time, an old beggar once preached it for you. The Lu Gang Leader and the Huang Gang Leader heard your news, and the old beggar said that you were chasing and killing the five ugly people in Tibet. I haven't heard from you since. ”
Hong Qigong said with a smile: "What kind of divine dragon sees the head but does not see the end, I always call it delicious for a lifetime." When you're not serious, you're chasing food. Since I passed on the position of helper to Huang Rong's girl, I have wandered around alone, looking for the world's peculiar food. One year, I went to the land of Lingnan, where the land was warm and warm, and there were the most rare recipes, and I always called Hua to get what it wanted, and I did not return to the Central Plains for more than ten years. ”
After a pause, he suddenly said with great interest: "Alas, you don't know, there are really many strange delicacies in the land of 100 Guangdong, what poisonous snakes make soup, old cats stew cups are not unusual, and there are spotted fish like rats, giant shrimp called dragons........."
When he mentioned food, he couldn't hold back for a while, and first talked to Yin Zhiping about the various peculiar delicacies in Guangdong, as well as many strange ingredients that were not available in the Central Plains. After taking a few sips of wine from the wine gourd on his waist, he remembered the five ugly people in the Tibetan border mentioned by Yin Zhiping, and said: "By the way, I just left Lingnan and returned to the Central Plains." Two years ago, two of the five ugly people in the Tibetan border indiscriminately killed innocents in Guangdong, killing many good people. I was going to get rid of him casually, but it was easy to kill one of him, and it would be difficult to find the remaining four ugly, so I secretly followed, waiting for his five ugly gatherings, and then slaughtered him in one fell swoop. I followed all the way, I was already impatient, and when the five of them gathered, they appeared, and with three fists and two palms, the five jumping clowns were knocked off the cliff, and now it is estimated that there are a few piles of bones left. ”
Yin Zhiping heard him say that he knocked the five ugly people off the cliff and fell to his death, so he knew that there was a discrepancy with the plot in the original book, and then saw that he didn't talk about it, obviously it was the matter of Huashan, and he secretly said in his heart: "Listening to what he said, it seems that Ouyang Feng has never been on Huashan and collided with him at all." This is also strange, but I don't know where this Western Poison went crazy again? But there is a reason for it, after all, I accepted Yang Guo as a disciple, and the matter of Zhongnanshan is different from the original, which causes Ouyang Feng's time to go to Huashan in the future may be different from the original, so he didn't happen to bump into Hong Qigong, and the two of them just missed it.
