Chapter 819 The Origin of the Beggar Clan

The Beggar Gang is known as the largest gang in the martial arts world. Its origins can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. The first gang leader was named Fan Dan.

Fan Dan was born into a wealthy family, but he liked to wear rags and mingled among beggars. He was widely loved for his charity and wealth, and became the leader of the beggars in the world. He was also revered as the founder of the beggar clan by later generations.

When the Holy Master was traveling around the country, he ran out of food due to heavy rain, so he had no choice but to borrow food from Fan Dan.

Fan Dan readily agreed, and as a token of his gratitude, the Holy Master presented him with a treasured copy of the "Book of Changes" and taught him its profound principles.

"The Book of Changes" is all-encompassing. Fan Dan carefully studied it, integrated the theory of changes in the Book of Changes with martial arts, and created a "snake-beating boxing". After that, he gradually eliminated the rough and extracted the essence, becoming a self-defense skill for beggars.

Because the name of "Snake Fighting Fist" is inelegant, and snakes are also called little dragons, Fan Dan changed its name to Dragon Subduing Palm.

Later generations of gang leaders continued to improve, and the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm continued to increase, becoming the top palm technique famous in the martial arts world, known as the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms".

Zhu Hongwu, the Taizu of this dynasty, was born in a beggar clan, and achieved supreme hegemony with a humble status. He is unique in ancient times and modern times, and his life deeds are widely praised.

In order to avoid offending the True Dragon Emperor, Yan Mutian, the thirty-sixth generation leader of the Beggar Clan, replaced the word "subduing the dragon" with "killing the dragon" with a stroke of his pen.

After that, Yan Mutian consulted ancient books and expanded the eighteen palms into twenty-eight palms, with four palms for each level. This is the unique skill of the beggar gang today, the seven-level palm for killing dragons.

Although the Beggar Clan respects Fan Dan as its founder, it was only in the late Tang Dynasty that this largest sect in the world was founded.

At that time, Huang Chao revolted, and there was a general under his command, Zhuang Yifang, who studied under the "Shenwu General" Cai Jing. He was ranked among the top seven in the world and was a "general" among the "monk, Taoist, roving, and evil generals".

Zhuang Yifang is a martial arts prodigy who is extremely capable and has great reputation in the world.

At the Dongting Lake Junshan Conference, Zhuang Yifang single-handedly defeated the chaos, united the four sects to establish the Beggar Gang, and assumed the role of leader.

Since the gang leader worked for Huang Chao, the Beggar Gang naturally took the lead and made many extraordinary achievements in battle.

It's a pity that destiny has returned and the Tang Dynasty has not exhausted its energy. After Huang Chao was defeated and died, Zhuang Yifang vowed not to emperor the Tang Dynasty and eventually committed suicide.

Zhuang Yifang was proficient in guns and sticks, and created his own unique skill "Dog Beating Stick Technique", which he taught to his colleagues in the Beggar Clan before his death.

This Dog Beating Stick Technique is wonderful and ingenious, even better than subduing a dragon. It is difficult for those without extraordinary understanding to practice it. All the previous leaders of the Beggar Clan are proficient in the Dog Beating Stick Technique, otherwise they will not be able to pass on the Green Jade Staff, the leader's token.

When Yan Mutian improved the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, he felt that the word "beating the dog" was too indecent, so he simply borrowed the allusion of the Tengu eating the moon and renamed the dog-beating stick method "the moon-returning stick method".

Unfortunately, the name of "beating dogs" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Beggar Clan has become accustomed to it. The green jade staff is also called the dog beating stick.

The Beggar Gang is divided into two factions: the dirty clothes and the pure clothes. Among them, the pure clothes faction is mostly gentry and wealthy businessmen, and they accept the rule of the Beggar Gang because they share the same goals.

The rules of the Jingyi Sect are relatively loose, and they can get everything they need in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. They only need to make some preparations when attending gatherings, such as adding patches to their clothes and shoes to show their status as a beggar gang.

Qian Liben, who represented the Beggar Clan in the meeting this time, is the current leader of the Jingyi Sect. If one did not know why, no one would be able to tell that he was a member of the Beggar Clan.

The Dirty Clothes Sect are genuine beggars, and their regulations are much stricter than those of the Pure Clothes Sect. Their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all at a low level, and pampering is especially prohibited.

There are tens of thousands of beggars in the world, but not all of them are members of a beggar gang. To join a beggar gang, you must abide by the gang rules. Official gang members have their own rank, which is determined by the number of hanging bags. The leader of the Beggar Clan hangs ten bags, and is unparalleled in the whole sect. The current leader is named Guan Qianli, and is known as the "King of Beggars in the Four Seas" by people in the world.

Below the leader is the elder, who hangs eight or nine bags. Below the elder is the deacon, who hangs six or seven bags. Those below five bags have no duties and are all called disciples.

The members of the Beggar Clan have accumulated merit and been promoted, and most of them only come to prominence in their thirties. Some of them are even gray-haired and are still just disciples.

So when he saw that Jia Enyi was still a young man, but he was already the six-pack deacon of the Beggar Clan, Mu Yun couldn't help but secretly screamed, and solemnly returned the greeting: "Brother Jia is young and promising, I sincerely admire you, are you also here to participate in the Ten Jue Competition? ?”

Jia Enyi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I am really flattered by Mr. Fan's invitation. I just chatted with Qing... ahem... Miss Wei for a while, and I am very fond of Mu Shaoxia. Today we are competing together, Please be merciful to Mr. Mu and don’t let me lose too badly.”

Mu Yun repeatedly said that he did not dare, but Wei Tingshang rolled his eyes at Jia Enyi and said coolly: "Brother Jia is here to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger again. You have just been promoted to the deputy helmsman of the Dazhi branch, and your cultivation must be even more advanced. Even if Even if Mu Shaoxia and I join forces, we may not be able to defeat you."

Jia Enyi shook his head and sighed and said, "Miss Wei, I'm sorry. If I knew that you were also participating in the competition, how could I dare to do what I'm trying to do?"

A smile flashed across Wei Tingshang's face, and he said tepidly: "Okay, I am no match for you when it comes to self-effacement. Let's see the truth later."

Jia Enyi chuckled, turned to Taoist Priest Chiyang and said, "Is Taoist Priest also here to participate in the competition? If that's really the case, I'll just quit, so as not to make anyone laugh."

Chiyang Taoist Priest stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Young Master Jia's guess is right. Pindao was indeed invited by Young Master Fang to come and participate in the competition."

Jia Enyi was obviously startled, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "That's all, it turns out that Mr. Fang asked me to come here to find someone to be the bottom. I can only do my best and listen to fate."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Jia Enyi was not discouraged, but just joking.

At this time, I saw two people coming together again. They were still a couple.

One of them was in his thirties, with a graceful and strong figure. He was dressed in white clothes as cold as frost and snow, covered with a black cloak, and held a chiselled gold and red tassel gun. His appearance was very elegant, and he was especially brave and heroic.

The other one seemed to be younger than haircut, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old at most. His skin was so tender that you could pinch water. He was tall and handsome, no less than a man of the same age.

The girl's appearance is similar to that of the woman in white. She is wearing a rose-colored outfit and embroidered suede boots. She is very fresh and capable.

Taoist Priest Chiyang looked at him clearly and stepped forward to salute: "Mrs. Zhu and the virtuous niece are also here. Today is a gathering of all the virtuous and virtuous."

The woman in white smiled and said: "Taoist Master, you are fine. I am not here to participate in the competition, I am just accompanying Yan'er."

Taoist Priest Chiyang said clearly: "So that's it. If a virtuous niece emerges as a heroic young man, she will definitely inherit Brother Xue's legacy and achieve limitless achievements in the future."

The woman in white sighed softly, touched the girl's heart and said, "Achievements cannot be forced. I only hope that Yan'er will have a safe life. This is enough."

The girl looked shy, coughed slightly and said, "My niece has met Uncle Chiyang. Uncle Chiyang is well."

Taoist Chiyang said kindly: "It's been more than a year since we last met, and my dear niece has grown a lot taller. Just now I saw that you have a long breath and your internal strength is quite mature. You have made rapid progress in recent days."
