Only I know the rivers and lakes

Chapter 20 The Elder is Missing
The wind blows over the weeping willows on the shore, carrying a slight moisture.

The weather in early April, although the sun is shining brightly, the temperature has not risen much, and the atmosphere of spring still remains.

Huang Rong, wearing a light dark-colored dress and lavender gauze, was standing on the river embankment, fiddling with the low-hanging willow branches that swayed in the wind.

Willow leaves were flying between her nimble fingers, but her eyes fell on the dark sleeves.

When she was young, Huang Rong liked pink like the colorful peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island.

After marrying Guo Jing, she assumed the important role of the leader of the beggar gang, in order to maintain the majesty of the leader, her clothes changed from light blue to dark green and then to light black, and the color became darker and darker.

After finally passing the position of Clan Leader to Qiao Feng, she took off the clothes and changed into yellow clothes like Qiushi.

And now, this set of clothes that symbolized the majesty of the gang leader was worn back again.

Huang Rong knew that such a suit of clothes would not match the blue sky, white clouds, clear river and green willows, just like a speck of thick ink on white paper.

But if there are a group of beggars in gray and linen shirts covered with patches standing behind them, the focus of this scene is changed to people, just like an ink painting, the focus is on ink, followed by white.

The leader of the gang, he said it nicely, only when he looked at the scenery and put it on his body did he realize how heavy it was.

What's more, it was the first time in eight years that such a heavy burden was suddenly brought on. It took time to straighten out many personnel changes, but they encountered successive changes. Huang Rong felt exhausted physically and mentally in just two days.

Huang Rong sighed secretly, thanks to the fact that she was studying the "Nine Yin Manual", one of the top ten strange books, she could comprehend some secrets of practicing qi and transforming gods in advance before advancing to Xiantian, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to survive.

Huang Rong, who had already found some clues, took advantage of this time to relax on the embankment while waiting for the help of the Shaolin and Wudang factions. .

The peerless martial arts in Jianghu can be divided into two types, Zhenpai Juxue and Jianghu Juxue. This division is not a distinction between high and low. The "Tai Chi Xuan Gong" of the "Tai Chi Xuan Gong" school, and those who live in the Jianghu, have no clear affiliation, and have "virtuous" martial arts are called the "Jiu Xue" of the Jianghu, such as "Nine Yin Manual".

"Nine Yin Scriptures" was originally written by a stranger named Huang Shang in the Song Dynasty. Huang Chang was not a warrior at first, but he understood the truth because he had read the Daoist scriptures thoroughly, and he naturally achieved martial arts.

If we talk about martial arts alone, Huang Shang may not be as good as Daomen Ning Daoqi, Momen Pangban, Buddhism Luokong, Zangzong Yingyuan and other great masters who have been famous in the martial arts for decades. Inferior, so the "Nine Yin Manual" written by Huang Shang is a peerless martial arts book.

It's like no one knows where the phrase "The Supreme Master of the Martial Arts Slays the Dragon with a Sword; Who dares not to obey orders to the world; Who will fight against the sky?" It will be hidden in the Yitian sword.

Thirty-five years ago, Zhou Zhiruo, then head of Emei, got the "Nine Yin Manual" after the fight between Yitian Sword and Tulong Dao, but somehow let it go to the rivers and lakes, which attracted people from all corners of the world to compete. Intense, more and more knight-errants died because of this.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, even the Buddhist and Taoist sects, who were busy in world wars at that time, couldn't stand it anymore. Shaolin Wudang jointly issued a notice, hosted by the Huashan sect, which was still a first-class sect at that time, to hold a hero meeting at the top of Huashan Mountain , to determine the ownership of the "Nine Yin Scriptures".

That conference lasted for seven days and seven nights, and finally Quanzhen leader Wang Chongyang won the "Nine Yin Manual". Huang Yaoshi of Taohua Island, Ouyang Feng of Baituoshan, Duan Zhixing of Dali, and Hong Qi of the Beggar Gang all felt inferior.It was also this conference that achieved the title of "Five Wonders": Eastern Evil and Western Poison, Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar, and Central Divine Power. Later, this conference was called "Huashan Sword Discussing".

After Wang Chongyang passed away, Zhou Botong came out with the "Nine Yin Scriptures" and was met by his father. He and his mother cleverly wrote down the text of the scriptures and copied them down. Later, senior brother Chen Xuanfeng and senior sister Mei Chaofeng stole the scriptures and escaped from Taohua. Island, causing troubles in the rivers and lakes, let the people of Quanzhen Sect get the news that Zhou Botong made a fuss on Peach Blossom Island...

"Mrs. Guo!"

A cry came from behind, waking up Huang Rong who was meditating on the past, she regained her composure, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Guo, the two masters of Shaolin Xuannan and Xuandu, and Wudang Taoist Ziyang have arrived." Lu Youjiao spoke.

Since Huang Rong resigned from the position of gang leader eight years ago, his position in the Beggars Gang has become less and less important, and in the end he only held the title of an elder.

It's not that Qiao Feng, who took over, played the trick of "one emperor and one courtier". Qiao Feng is so bold and straightforward, he still can't do such things.It's just that Lu Youjiao's martial arts are not very good, and gradually unable to do what he wants in the process of revitalizing the Beggar Gang under the leadership of Qiao Feng, so he can only retreat behind the scenes.

This time there was a change in the beggars' gang, that is, he went to Peach Blossom Island in person and invited Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife. Now he naturally follows Huang Rong and takes on some duties.

Huang Rong nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Lu, you come with me to meet them."

It was just a whisper before, but the quiet forest suddenly became noisy.

"someone is coming……"

"I'm coming……"

"They're here..."

"It's from Shaolin Wudang..."

The noise covered up the sound of footsteps, Huang Rong walked along the path in the forest, and saw a group of Shaolin Wudang walking quickly.

Huang Rong hurried up to meet us and said, "Taoist priest, two masters, you are here."

"Madam Guo." Taoist Ziyang clasped his fists and said, "I don't know if Madam Guo is staying here, but we have already found a clue."

"That's right. Let's go this way, there is an earth temple not far away, and that's where we found traces of the fight."

The Earth Temple is not big, just a hut built of earth and rocks, enshrining a clay statue of the Earth God, and inside there is a table of incense, which can only be used by three or five people to worship.

In front of the temple, you can see messy footprints and scratches from weapons on the ground. The most dazzling thing is the blood stains scattered in several places.

When they entered the temple again, they saw signs that the incense table had been knocked to the ground. Although it was lifted up and rearranged by the former Beggar Clan disciples, the wooden thorns in the damaged areas were obviously new marks.

"The Tie Butou has already seen these before, and he chased after the traces, and I will wait for you to come here."

"Where is Hero Guo?" Taoist Ziyang asked suddenly.

Huang Rong replied: "In the city, there must always be someone staying behind. He has learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from Qigong, and he can still speak in the beggar gang, so he stays in the city."

"Then, what did Capt. Iron find here?" Taoist Priest Ziyang asked the real question.

Huang Rong walked out of the Earth Temple first, and said: "Tie Butou said that there are four kinds of footprints here, and the signs should be that there are two people fighting each other, but one of them is obviously stronger, and it takes about ten or twenty moves to restrain the opponent. The strength of the other pair is not much different, but under the intervention of the one with the highest martial arts, they were beaten into the temple, knocked over the incense table, and then captured."

Ziyang Daochang sighed: "You can see so much, you really deserve the name of a famous arrester."

"Tie Captou also said that one of the restrained parties should have used a weapon such as a stick or staff. I am afraid it was me who helped Elder Song."

"Amitabha, do you know who the other elder is?" Master Xuannan asked.

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "I can't see that the five elders Bai, Lu, Xi, Song, and Chen are missing. Now we only know that one of them is Elder Song, and the other one is still not sure which elder it is."

Taoist Ziyang asked: "How is Elder Song's martial arts?"

Huang Rong turned her head to look at Lu Youjiao, and only heard him say, "The first-class is the middle class."

"Where are the other elders?"

"They should be about the same, well, Elder Bai and Elder Lu may be taller." Lu Youjiao replied.

"In this case, the opponent should not be the Black and White Servant. Well, there is no Night Owl Sheep Leng either." Taoist Priest Ziyang judged.

Taoist Priest Ziyang had fought against all three of them. If the elders of the Beggar Clan were all top-notch martial arts, their opponents should not be them, otherwise the battle situation would definitely not be what it was like at the scene.

Priest Ziyang said again: "However, who is this opponent might as well make a judgment later, follow up with Tie Butou first, and see if he has any new clues, how about it?"

"Taoist Master is right." This is what Huang Rong was waiting for. She was not good at martial arts and Guo Jing was not around. Naturally, she did not dare to catch up casually. Therefore, after Taoist Master Ziyang finished speaking, she answered the words and left her. Lu Youjiao, who had been told, took care of the common affairs and took the lead to go southwest.
