Chapter 226: A Deal with Tonglao

Gu Qing stood on the treetop, looking at the captured Beggar Sect elders in the courtyard of Tianning Temple, and from their words, learned the course of events.

The Beggar Sect came to Gusu and originally had a Huishan appointment with the Xixia Yipin Hall. Originally, Northern Qiao Feng was going to lead them to fight the Xixia Yipin Hall, but outside Wuxi City, Northern Qiao Feng led the Beggar Sect to wipe out the Murong family that intended to rebel and punished the traitors in the sect. When his prestige was at its peak, he withdrew from the Beggar Sect, and the Beggar Sect, without Northern Qiao Feng, was not useful, and they divided some manpower to escort Murong Fu.

This led to the Huishan appointment, where the Beggar Sect lost miserably.

Now the elders were all injured, their bodies bound with ox-tendon ropes, each one gray-faced and dirty.

"Helian Tieshu, get out here!"

Gu Qing rarely operated his throat wheel and shouted toward Tianning Temple.

This Tianning Temple was originally a clean place for monks. These Xixia people, after beating the Beggar Sect, passed by this place, killed the monks inside, occupied this place temporarily, killed cows and cooked meat, without any awe. At this moment, hearing Gu Qing's call, Helian Tieshu inside felt his soul fly away, and he actually rolled several times on the ground, vaguely arriving in the courtyard.

This movement, to some people in the Xixia Yipin Hall, was like a god manifesting, and they didn't even dare to eat the beef in their hands.

Tianshan Tonglao glanced sideways at Gu Qing. The Xiaoyao Sect also had methods of sound transmission and soul searching, but not like Gu Qing's call and response.

"General!"

There were many experts in the Xixia Yipin Hall. Seeing Helian Tieshu's soul-lost appearance, they shouted repeatedly, which made Helian Tieshu return to his soul, raise his head, and see two people standing on the treetop.

"Go back and tell your Imperial Concubine that Tonglao is going to take Ding Chunqiu to Tianlong Diya Valley to see Wuyazi."

Tianshan Tonglao originally had great murderous intent, and seeing characters involved with Li Qiushui, she would kill them by the way, but today her language was open-minded, and she had no murderous intent toward these Xixia Yipin Hall people.

"Who are you?"

Nu'erhai demanded of Tianshan Tonglao.

Tonglao did not answer, laughed loudly toward the sky. In this loud laughter, the many Xixia Yipin Hall people felt dizzy and their eyes went black, completely without the power to resist. When Tonglao stopped laughing, these Xixia Yipin Hall people knew the internal energy of the little girl in front of them was incredible.

"Get out!"

Tonglao shouted coldly.

These Xixia Yipin Hall experts felt they had picked up a life and fled in a panic, while Gu Qing casually rescued the Beggar Sect elders, brushing some merit from them.

"Many thanks to Hero Gu for the grace of saving our lives."

The speaker was Song Zhanglao, who practiced external martial arts. Northern Qiao Feng had often asked him for advice, so he could be considered Northern Qiao Feng's half-master.

It is worth mentioning that in the three-link version, this "Northern Qiao Feng's half-master" was Elder Xi. In the battle of Juluxian Manor, Northern Qiao Feng was surrounded, met the Beggar Sect people attacking, and dodged them, until after he was provoked into murderous intent, he took Elder Xi along.

In the new revision, Jin Yong moved this identity of "Northern Qiao Feng's half-master" to Song Zhanglao, and the battle of Juluxian Manor still killed Elder Xi, making Northern Qiao Feng have much less moral criticism.

Gu Qing smiled, looked at Song Zhanglao, and asked: "Do you think the Beggar Sect is still the number one sect in the world?"

Song Zhanglao opened his mouth but could not speak.

The Beggar Sect needs a powerful Sect Leader to make a name for itself. If the Sect Leader is not good, the Beggar Sect is not very good. The Dragon-Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms is indeed rare in the world, but few can exert its power, and even some practice the palm technique until they are crippled.

Gu Qing patted Song Zhanglao on the shoulder and said: "Go, coax Northern Qiao Feng well."

Northern Qiao Feng went out of the pass once, helped the founder of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda, escape the pursuit of Yelü Hongji, and helped Yelü Hongji have a rebellion pacification. Both things were extremely dangerous and belonged to a situation where he would die without Northern Qiao Feng. This kept Northern Qiao Feng, which could be considered influencing the historical direction of this world.

Letting Northern Qiao Feng be the Beggar Sect Leader is the best choice.

The Beggar Sect members thanked Gu Qing, bid farewell, and left one after another.

In the past, they were united under Northern Qiao Feng's command and were invincible. Today, they suffered such a big setback, which made the people in the Beggar Sect miss Northern Qiao Feng. Plus, the few people in the Beggar Sect who were setting the rhythm were killed by Northern Qiao Feng, and most of the remaining people were willing to follow Northern Qiao Feng. Now they were discussing going to the Shaolin Temple. Gu Qing heard Shaolin Temple and was slightly distracted.

Because Gu Qing leaked Xuan Ci's identity, this caused a huge disturbance. Northern Qiao Feng was now going to the Shaolin Temple to settle accounts, and with some of Gu Qing's instructions, Gu Qing felt that Northern Qiao Feng could also save the lives of his adoptive parents.

Tianning Temple gradually became quiet.

Far away, there were a few little monks running out of Tianning Temple, looking around, wanting to return to the temple.

Gu Qing waved to them. When these monks arrived, Gu Qing gave some simple instructions, let them thank him sincerely, gave merit, and then flashed with Tianshan Tonglao and disappeared. This made the monks bow again and again, feeling they were Dharma-protecting Arhats and Wealth-giving Dragon Girls manifesting to help them retake the temple, each one extremely pious.

"Gu Qing, how old are you this year?"

Tianshan Tonglao and Gu Qing were running fast in the dense forest, suddenly asking Gu Qing's age.

"A man is a youth until he dies!"

Gu Qing said decisively. Crossing several worlds, in terms of age, he was indeed not that young.

Tonglao laughed. She fought with Gu Qing and felt Gu Qing's internal energy and moves were all above her own, and heard Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing practiced some Ming Yu Gong, and at forty years old, their attainments would be higher than hers, so she was somewhat unconvinced and wanted to ask his age to calculate Gu Qing's martial arts progress.

!

"You want to become the Sect Leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, you should want to comprehend the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, right?"

Tianshan Tonglao suddenly stopped and stared at Gu Qing.

Tonglao and Gu Qing fought, feeling Gu Qing's martial arts absorbed the strengths of a hundred schools and had many comprehensions. Entering the Xiaoyao Sect was naturally for martial arts.

Gu Qing nodded.

"Then let's make a deal."

Tianshan Tonglao's eyes were filled with emotion, saying: "The moves of the Xiaoyao Sect are all recorded in Tianshan."

On Tianshan, there were nearly a thousand martial arts diagrams, among which Tianshan Zhe Mei Hand and Tianshan Liuyang Palm were all recorded. When Xuzhu practiced the martial arts inside, he only felt his body was light and almost wanted to fly.

"Of course."

Gu Qing laughed: "However, the moves in Tianshan, I can study them the same way after becoming the Xiaoyao Sect Leader... Our deal, why not like this..."

After the two agreed, they returned to Mantuo Manor together.

"Thief bitch!"

Tianshan Tonglao saw Madam Wang and immediately cursed loudly, calling: "If I see your face again, I will draw a well sign on you and plant a Life-Death Talisman on you!"

Madam Wang did not dare to talk back, trembling, and hid on one side. The original Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian had opinions about Madam Wang living in Gu Qing's room, but seeing Tonglao so fierce, they did not speak again.

"Don't worry!"

Gu Qing patted his chest toward the women and said: "She just thought of Li Qiushui for a moment, and her anger is hard to calm, but as long as I am here, she will definitely not hurt you!"

Madam Wang was terrified and nodded repeatedly.

Tonglao looked at Gu Qing and cursed him as a bitch.
