Qi Ning thought that Master Lou Wen could still laugh after being severely injured. He was really open-minded. He worriedly asked: "Brother Lou is poisoned?"
The old beggar over there said: "The poison in the elder's body is very powerful. If the elder had not had deep internal strength and took the pills in time, I might not be able to survive now."
"Now that I think about it, it was the gang leader who gave me a life." Master Lou Wen said with a smile: "Back then, the gang leader said that I was impulsive and easy to get into trouble with others, so just in case, he specially left two pills for me. Tell me that if I am poisoned by someone, if I take it in time, I can delay the onset of the poison and save my life. At first, I just thought that the gang leader was too worried, and I never expected that it would be used in this case."
Qi Ning sat down next to him and asked, "How do you feel now, brother?"
"My life has been saved." Master Lou Wen sighed: "Fortunately, Zhong Ya has excellent medical skills and helped me detoxify in time, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you." He sneered: "Those idiots must have thought that I had been poisoned and died. , wouldn’t have thought that I was still alive.” Looking at Qi Ning, he asked: “Brother Qi, did you just say that you know those guys?”
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "To be honest with you, when I went to Xichuan, I also ran into this group of people. Their movements are strange, they are ruthless, but their martial arts are also quite strong."
Master Lou Wen nodded and said: "Those two people are really good at martial arts, and the monster is even more powerful. I hit him with a few palms. If it were an ordinary person, his internal organs would have been shattered and died, but the monster was safe and sound." .”
"That's the medicine corpse." Qi Ning explained: "As far as I know, it is a weapon made by the dwarf using the human body. In fact, it can no longer be regarded as a human being. The medicine corpse does not know pain. Even if a knife or gun cuts on him, it will not hurt. No idea.”
"I see, that's no wonder." Master Lou frowned: "Who are these people? They actually refined such a medicine corpse. They are so vicious and extremely evil. It is definitely not the right way."
Qi Ning said: "I don't know where they came from." After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Brother Lou, that group of people has been operating in Xichuan. They should not have set foot in Dongqi. You have been in Dongqi." , why did those people attack you on the way?"
Master Lou Wen's expression became serious and he said: "I invited you here just for this matter." He stared at Qi Ning and said: "Brother Qi, there is an ambush. After thinking about it, there is only one reason."
"I won't let you get to Xiangyang as scheduled." Qining said immediately.
Master Lou Wen nodded and said: "Yes, if the other party has a grudge against me, why would they choose to attack me at this time? They intercepted me halfway. They must have known that I was going to Xiangyang, so they stopped me." He sneered, "Is there anyone who doesn't want me to rush to Xiangyang?"
Qi Ning frowned and vaguely guessed something. Master Lou Wen was straightforward and said: "Brother Qi, you said that the gang leader is still alive, but Bai Hu spread the news everywhere that the gang leader has been killed. Why did he do this? Of course he wanted to The gang leader needs to be re-elected, and he thinks he has the highest qualifications among the four elders, so the position of gang leader belongs to him."
"Brother Lou thinks this is the work of the White Tiger Sect?" Qining asked.
Master Lou Wen said: "I can't think of any other possibilities. Although Bai Hu's qualifications are not weak, he knows very well that it is not easy for him to take the position of gang leader. Xuanwu and I will never let such mediocrity He ascended to the position of gang leader."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, knowing that Bai Hu was the most suspicious, and thought that it seemed that Kongshan Xian's group was also connected with Bai Hu.
"Brother Lou, you are seriously injured now. How are you going to get to Xiangyang?" Qi Ning did the math and said: "There are still six days until June 18th. The Qingmu Conference will be held in Gulong. If we hurry up, we should still be able to get there." You can catch up, but in your current situation, you can’t ride a horse at all.”
The old beggar Zhong Ya said: "The poison the elder was poisoned by is very powerful, and it cannot be said to be completely safe until now. Today's silver needle detoxification is just the beginning. For three consecutive days, silver needles will be detoxified six times a day, and then the medicine will be added." You need to soak for at least three to five days, and then finally take the detoxification medicine. It will take at least ten days, and it will take less than half a month to fully restore your vitality."
"In other words, Brother Lou can't leave within this half month?"
Zhong Ya nodded and said: "Exactly, firstly, you must not exercise your power, secondly, you must not be tired, and you cannot withstand the bumps. Once the body is jolted violently, all the previous efforts will be in vain."
Master Lou Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Originally I wanted to go to Xiangyang with force, but according to Zhong Ya, if I force myself to go, I'm afraid I will die on the way before reaching Xiangyang." He stretched out his hand and put it on the back of Qining's hand. Qi Ning immediately felt that Master Lou Wen's fingers were cold. He knew that he was seriously poisoned, so he was just trying to support himself.
"Brother Qi, Baihu sent people to intercept him, which shows that he is bound to win the position of gang leader this time." Master Lou Wen said solemnly: "If he really becomes the gang leader, even if I am not convinced, I can only follow the gang leader's orders. , do you understand?"
Qi Ning nodded and said: "I know. Brother Lou, are you worried that he will cause trouble if he becomes the gang leader?"
Master Lou Wen said: "If the people who intercepted us this time are really sent by White Tiger, this matter will not be simple. Using human bodies to make medicine corpses, such a vicious method, is not just a gang of beggars, but also ordinary Jianghu colleagues." I'm deeply disgusted. Think about it for yourself, what does Bai Hu want to do when he befriends such a person? There are hundreds of thousands of Beggar Clan disciples all over the world. If Bai Hu becomes the leader, he has other plans to use the power of the Beggar Clan. ,The consequences could be disastrous."
Qi Ning frowned and asked: "Brother Lou, do you think Bai Hu has other ulterior ambitions in competing for the position of gang leader?"
Master Lou Wen waved his hand slightly, signaling Zhong Ya and Mao Hu'er to step back. Knowing that the matter was of great importance, they both stepped back and closed the door behind them. The lone light in the room flickered, and Master Lou Wen lowered his voice and said: "Do you know the Beggar Gang? Where did it come from?" After a pause, he slowly said: "Once upon a time, there were continuous wars, and the poor people were displaced and begging everywhere, but they were bullied by others. So someone gathered these beggars together, and everyone united. , I was naturally bullied a lot less, and there was no gang formed at the beginning, it was just about helping each other.”
Qining sat still and listened carefully.
"At that time, these poor people gathered together. Although they were begging everywhere, they could not always eat in the years of war and famine." Master Lou Wen sighed: "People can't starve to death, so these people help people Running errands, delivering things, or helping people transport some things, but in the business of making money and living, there are people in every industry. When we do these, those gangs in the past will naturally not like it. For example, helping people deliver goods , that means offending the escort agency, and if the escort agencies unite their forces, we who were just a ragtag group at that time will naturally not be our opponents."
Qi Ning knew that Master Lou Wen would never talk about these things without a reason and would not say anything.
"Earlier, beggars were only bullied by ordinary people, and they were less bullied when everyone gathered together. Later, in order to survive, they blocked the financial paths of Jianghu gangs and even the government. Naturally, they couldn't tolerate it." Master Lou Wen said with a serious expression: "Someone either They were injured and beaten to death, and some were imprisoned. It was at that time that the first leader of the Beggar Gang stepped forward and gathered the scattered beggars together. When did beggars get together to resist humiliation? No one has made it clear, but the beginning of the Beggar Clan started with the leader of the Lotus Clan."
"Leader of the Lotus Gang?"
Master Lou Wen nodded and said: "It is said that this man is very good at martial arts and selected some beggars with extremely high understanding to teach them martial arts. Do you know where the Beggar Clan started?"
Qi Ning shook his head, then thought of something and asked: "Brother Lou, it can't be in Xiangyang, right?"
Master Lou Wen said with a smile: "There are beggars all over the world, but the earliest disciples of the Beggar Clan who burned incense and got started were in Xiangyang."
"Is the leader of the Lotus Gang called Lianhua?" Qi Ning asked curiously: "It seems like a woman's name."
Master Lou Wen smiled slightly and said: "It is said that in the beginning, everyone only knew his name as Bai Lian. Within ten years, no fewer than fifty or sixty people were taught by him. They are all considered to be good players, and several of them have become well-known characters in the world. From then on, the Beggar Gang gradually developed, and there were many beggars living around the world, so the number of Beggar Gang disciples increased rapidly. Fifteen years after the leader of the Lianhua Gang founded the Beggar Clan, the Clan already had seven or eight directors and nearly 10,000 disciples. At that time, the leader of the Lianhua Clan handed over the position of leader to his eldest disciple. He was Feng Yang, the second leader of the Beggar Clan, but he has since retired from the world and his whereabouts are unknown."
Qi Ning sighed: "A master has the demeanor of a master. He is clean when he comes and he is clean when he leaves."
Master Lou Wen said solemnly: "Guan Gang leader has lived up to the expectations of the Lotus Gang leader and revitalized the Beggar Gang. His own martial arts have also advanced by leaps and bounds. It is also in his hands that the Beggar Gang has set many gang rules. Now the Beggar Gang's big and small gang rules, They were all added from that time. Since then, the successive gang leaders, although there are also mediocre talents, have mostly led the Beggar Gang to gradually grow. However, the Beggar Gang has become the largest gang in the world. It has only been a hundred years since then. The Jianghu Gang has experienced ups and downs. , just after you sing, I will appear on the stage, with strong hands like clouds. The Beggar Clan is walking on a tortuous road today, and it is not easy."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking to himself that whether it is an individual or a group, to reach the top, it must go through a long and winding road of thorns, and there is no such thing as smooth sailing to the top.
"Did you know that there are so many gangs in Jianghu, and many gangs are so powerful that even the imperial court is somewhat afraid of them." Master Lou Wen stared at Qining and asked: "Why did the Beggar Gang finally get to where it is today?"
Qi Ning said: "Brother Lou, please give me some advice!"
"The Beggar Gang will survive in troubled times." Master Lou Wen sighed: "If the world is bright and the world is peaceful, the Beggar Gang will not be easy to grow. However, the world is in chaos and wars are continuous, but it is the time when the Beggar Gang grows. From the establishment of the Beggar Gang to the present, every time After a great chaos in the world, other gangs will be implicated and their strength will weaken, but the Beggar Gang's power will increase a little after every great chaos."
Qi Ning was startled, but instantly understood the reason.
Disciples of the Beggar Clan are people from poor backgrounds. The biggest reason why the Beggar Clan is feared by others is that the Beggar Clan has a large number of people and has eyes and ears all over the world. However, in the eyes of many gangs, the Beggar Clan is the lowest level of people. Deep down, I still despise the Beggar Clan.
Every time there is a war, countless people are displaced and become beggars. This is the time when the Beggar Gang absorbs blood. Although this development method is quite cruel, it is an indisputable fact that the Beggar Gang can get to where it is today.
"So from the first day when the Beggar Gang was founded, the Beggar Gang has never had a good impression of the government and the imperial court." Master Lou Wen said slowly: "Many of the Beggar Gang disciples themselves were reduced to nothing because of the government's exploitation and oppression. Because he is a beggar, many Beggar Clan disciples are hostile to the government."
