Chapter 236

~8 min read 1,568 words

The Bianhe was noisy.

Gu Qing and Northern Qiao Feng sat in the restaurant, drinking wine opposite each other.

For a long time, Northern Qiao Feng had felt that he had suffered huge slander due to Master Xuan Ku's death, but after knowing the murderer was Xiao Yuanshan, Northern Qiao Feng felt sour and unspeakable in his heart, feeling that the various insults against him in the Jianghu recently were truly not in vain.

"Murong Bo, the chief culprit, is already dead. We still have to confront the 'Leader Brother'."

Northern Qiao Feng said, "For many years, I have walked the Jianghu, and many adventures were obtained without seeking. Now that I think about it, most of this was Shaolin Abbot and Chief Wang taking care of me in secret. Abbot Abbot Xuan Ci was deceived by others. I have the heart to make peace, but my father's hatred is already deep, and Shaolin Temple is holding a grudge against us because of Master Master Xuan Ku's matter."

Northern Qiao Feng drank bitter wine, his heart aching.

"Shaolin Temple can't turn the world upside down."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Whatever you want to do is fine."

This Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo had long been watched by the Sweeping Monk. There were defects in the seventy-two peerless skills of Shaolin Temple. Xiao Yuanshan wanted to make trouble for Shaolin, and the Sweeping Monk would definitely hold him down and educate him.

Northern Qiao Feng was not so optimistic. He drank another bowl of wine and looked at the noisy Bianhe outside the window, seeking a moment of inner peace.

In Bianliang City, drinking wine was popular with a profession called "Zao-burning," which meant that the neighborhood women near the restaurant would accompany people when they drank, helping to serve tea and pour wine. There was also a kind called "Si-bo," who would come up to sing, offer fruits and incense, and obtain money. There were even some low-class prostitutes who would come uninvited to sing and needed money to be sent away.

And the Zhang Family Restaurant where Gu Qing and Northern Qiao Feng drank prevented this phenomenon. The two drank without being disturbed by others.

"Speaking of which, Brother Gu, although our acquaintance is shallow, I have received your benefits several times, and now I have to entrust a difficult matter to your hands."

Northern Qiao Feng put down the wine bowl, stared at Gu Qing, and said, "The current Beggar Sect has always wanted me to be the Chief again, but I carry blood feuds and my identity is awkward. If I become the Beggar Sect Chief, and one day I am trapped in Shaolin, I am afraid it will cause a conflict between the Beggar Sect and Shaolin Temple. And in the current Jianghu, Brother Gu, you have high martial arts and speak of loyalty. After thinking about it, the position of Beggar Sect Chief is best taken by you, brother."

Xiao Yuanshan insisted on going to Shaolin Temple to turn against them, and Northern Qiao Feng could only follow, but the Beggar Sect had to be restrained to avoid a greater conflict with Shaolin.

"Am I to be the Beggar Sect Chief?"

Gu Qing rubbed his chin. On this point, Gu Qing had truly not considered it.

"Please, brother, do not refuse."

Northern Qiao Feng bowed and said.

Gu Qing leaned back slightly, pondered, and felt a bit interested, saying, "Good, I will try being a Chief."

Northern Qiao Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this. After drinking with Gu Qing, he took Gu Qing and wanted to pass on the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog-Beating Stick Technique to Gu Qing. Gu Qing then took Northern Qiao Feng to the Li Residence, and in a quiet courtyard, listened to Northern Qiao Feng explain the palm and stick techniques.

Gu Qing's martial arts perspective was already extremely high. As soon as Northern Qiao Feng explained these things, Gu Qing learned them immediately.

"The last ten palms of these Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms are quite redundant."

Northern Qiao Feng, after passing on the palm technique, said, "The essence of these last ten palms is mostly contained in the previous eighteen palms. If they could be simplified, that would be best. It's just that recently I have been busy with many things and haven't thought about it properly."

Northern Qiao Feng already had this thought but hadn't had time to take action.

"This is not difficult."

Gu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, thinking seriously, and then: "I think it can be modified like this..."

Gu Qing, using the general outline of the Nine Yin Manual, the Nine Yang Manual, the Five Great Divine Arts, and various martial arts moves he knew, as well as Guo Jing's application of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, corrected the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, simplified them, and strengthened their foundation. In the discussion with Northern Qiao Feng, in just over an hour, these Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms already had a brand-new outline.

Northern Qiao Feng was originally teaching Gu Qing martial arts, but in this back-and-forth, he himself gained a lot. Only then did he know that Gu Qing's understanding of martial arts had almost reached the level of a celestial being. "Powerful, powerful."

Northern Qiao Feng admired and said, "The elders, seeing Brother Gu apply the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms to such a state, will definitely have no objections."

Gu Qing nodded. The selection of the Beggar Sect Chief had always been rough. For example, You Tanzhi could be Chief for a period of time, and Yang Kang could almost become one. Gu Qing coming to be this Chief basically had no resistance.

Northern Qiao Feng gave this position of Chief to Gu Qing, which had already removed a major matter from his heart. He immediately said goodbye to Gu Qing and went to inform the Beggar Sect brothers and elders in Bianjing City of the news, letting them come to welcome Gu Qing as Chief.

"You want to be the Beggar Sect Chief?"

Dao Dao Bai Feng was about to say goodbye, but hearing that Gu Qing was preparing to be Chief, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Although a person does not seek the position, he still takes benefiting the Jianghu as his own responsibility. If it is the wish of the people, and only if he takes the position can he benefit the Jianghu, then he can only take on this responsibility and completely abandon his own selfishness."

Gu Qing said with a smile, "The Beggar Sect is, after all, the number one sect in the Central Plains Jianghu, but its internal martial arts are rough and difficult to form a system. I will try to build a system for the Beggar Sect."

Gu Qing was trying to change the ten moves deleted from the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, transforming them into a set of Dragon Subduing Divine Legs to be used in conjunction with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

In the Hong Kong comic "Dragon Tiger Gate," there was a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Legs, said to be derived from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. In "Wind and Cloud," there was a set of Dragon Subduing Divine Legs, once as famous as the Wind God Legs. It was these things that gave Gu Qing different thoughts.

!

"You can rest assured."

Gu Qing looked at Dao Dao Bai Feng and Gao Mei and said, "From now on, you are in the Great Song, the Beggar Sect will no longer chase you. On the contrary, it will become your help, protecting you as you walk the Jianghu."

Gao Mei, hearing this, pulled Dao Dao Bai Feng, her eyes curving.

"Becoming the Beggar Sect Chief is not so carefree."

A'Bi said softly. The original Murong Fu wanted to restore the country and was busy running around every day. Gu Qing becoming the Beggar Sect Chief, I'm afraid it would be the same.

"Those are all matters for those below."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "As Chief, I only need to grasp the main points and do a few things I want to do. The rest is left to the Beggar Sect. If the Beggar Sect feels I am not suitable, I will directly abdicate."

Wang Yuyan knew that Gu Qing was not greedy for power and status. Thinking that Gu Qing becoming Chief was more for the secret manuals of the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, she smiled slightly and said no more.

"What do you want to do?"

Mu Wanqing asked.

"Find a bowl of rice for the beggars to eat, find a house for them to live in, so they don't have to sleep in the wind and dew."

Gu Qing said flatly.

Although these words were flat, everyone knew that to do this was extremely remarkable. Looking at Gu Qing, they couldn't help but feel a bit more respect.

"Speaking of which, there is also something I want to do right now."

Gu Qing looked at Dao Dao Bai Feng and smiled, "I want to use the identity of the Beggar Sect Chief to take the Beggar Sect people and go catch Duan Zhengchun and Madam Ma."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the women in the room lit up, and they all cheered.
