Chapter 76 Shall we continue to compete?

Under the heavy rain, the small riverside street fell into dead silence.

All the disciples of Honghualou stared blankly at the young man in black robe standing on the bank of the river holding a gun, their eyes full of shock and surprise.

Tread-tap-

In the waves of water, Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing, the two masters, clasped Xue Bodhi's shoulders with one hand and landed on the shore. Their gazes on Ye Jingtang were no longer facing the younger generation, but rather solemn.

Chen Yuanqing checked Xiaye Jingtang's complexion first, but he didn't see any injuries, so he looked at the restrained Xue Bodhi:

"He used people's money to eliminate disasters for others. He didn't know the identity of his employer, so it was useless to keep it."

Ye Jingtang really wanted to ask the mastermind behind the scenes, but when he heard this, he stopped talking and wanted to kill him with a single shot.

But Xue Bodhi, who was held down, cursed anxiously:

"I haven't spoken yet, how do you know I don't know?!"

Chen Yuanqing frowned and said: "I know the rules of the rivers and lakes, you are also an old man in the rivers and lakes, be decent, don't die like a wild dog."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand to signal the two hall masters not to worry, and asked:
"Who sent you here?"

Xue Bodhi was pressed to kneel on the ground, gritted his teeth and said:

"A mysterious employer in the capital who calls himself 'Swallows do not return'."

Yan does not return...

Ye Jingtang thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "How do you guys connect?"

"Yan Bugui provided a hiding place, and all contacts were written letters with codes. He only met once when he entered Beijing, and he never showed up again."

Chen Yuanqing shook his head and said: "If you buy murderers in the Jianghu, if you report your identity, you will be sold to your enemies. Those who dare to hire Xue Bodhi are definitely not ordinary people. If you follow the clues he provides, you will only be ambushed."

Xue Bodhi looked at Ye Jingtang, gritted his teeth and said:
"There are all veterans present here. I really don't know the identity of the employer, but I have a secret that Young Master Ye is definitely interested in."

"Say."

"The green bandit asked me to come out of the mountain with the "Song of the Dragon" as a reward. As long as Mr. Ye spares my life, I can teach you this secret technique."

?

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

Ye Jingtang was indeed aroused, wiped the rain from his face, stuck his spear on the ground, and squatted down in front of Xue Bodhi:

"Do you know the secret technique of Minglongtu?"

"Yan Bugui, who hired me, taught the old man the secret technique. I have only practiced for two or three months, but I have not made any progress. However, I have seen Yan Bugui's power. He can stroll around the courtyard with a thousand catties of boulders in one hand, and his practice is excellent. The rumored image of a dragon and an elephant in the 'Turtle Three Mountains'..."

Although Xue Bodhi hadn't learned the Dragon Elephant Picture, he had indeed seen the power of Yan Bugui, so his voice was calm and not the slightest bit guilty. Even Song Chi and the others felt that they were not cheating, and felt a little hesitant.

but……

Ye Jingtang couldn't put it into words, and secretly complained:
If you want to survive, I have to hesitate for a moment if you randomly pull any one of the nine pictures. You said this is the one in my arms?
Were you hired by a ghost transformed into a 'wingless owl' to take revenge?
Ye Jingtang felt that the end of the blood bodhisattva had indeed come, and followed him to the main helm of Honghualou, and found an excuse to find the things in his arms alive. With this bad luck, the whole world might not find another one.

chap——

The knife flashed.

Before Xue Bodhi could finish his confident words, an old head fell into the rain.

dong dong dong...

Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing looked at Gun Yuan's head, slightly puzzled:

"Nephew Yexian no longer listen?"

Ye Jingtang put the knife back into its sheath, and tried his best to suppress his heart inexplicably:
"I knew King Jing of the current dynasty, and I saw the Dragon Crying Picture once. It is difficult to spread the Dragon Crying Picture by word of mouth, so I can only take the picture and learn it by myself. Even if the green bandit has one, it is impossible to really give this picture to a gangster."

"Oh……"

Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were stunned, hooked their hands slightly, and signaled the disciples to come over and dispose of the corpse.

Pei Xiangjun came over with a bamboo hat, and wanted to send Ye Jingtang back to the building to see his injuries.Ye Jingtang was hit with a claw just now, although it didn't break the defense, but Chen Ming's strength is not small, it is equivalent to smashing his chest through the soft armor, and there are probably a few bruises on his chest.

But Ye Jingtang didn't intend to leave. He glanced at the silent disciples of Honghualou, and found Song Changqing who was watching from the top of the building:
"I'm fine. Elders continue the meeting. Because of my personal affairs, the discussion with Brother Song was interrupted. Please forgive me. Brother Song, let's continue the discussion."

As he spoke, he raised his spear and walked towards the round building, preparing for a bloody battle with Song Changqing.

? !
All the hall masters of Honghualou, including Pei Xiangjun, staggered when they heard these words.

Continue to compete?

What are you talking about? !

Just now you killed people without blinking an eye, they smashed people to pieces, there is not a whole body on the ground, no matter how heavy the attack is, who dares to compete with you? !

Judging from the momentum of the attack, it definitely has the background of a master. If Song Changqing, who is barely considered top-notch, comes up to a one-on-one challenge, do you want to teach your son a lesson in public?
Song Changqing, who was standing behind the crowd, had shocking eyes at first, but when he heard this, his expression became stiff and embarrassing, and he looked at his father:

"Uh……"

Song Chi didn't expect Ye Jingtang to say such a sentence, and wanted to say "Nephew Yexian is injured, we can talk about it after the injury is healed", but this was really shameless, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Fortunately, Chen Yuanqing, the third master, helped out:

"What's the point. Nephew Yexian's potential is enough to be the young master. If Second Brother Song has any objections, I'll chat with him, and the landlord will not bother to speak up."

The hall masters, incense masters, and countless disciples present all nodded like birds, without any objection to this statement:

"Yeah, Changqing is great, but it's normal. Nephew Ye Xian is just... um..."

"The posture of eight heads."

"Yes, the figure of Ba Kui!"

"Young Master Ye, at his age and martial arts, can't find another one in the world. If he doesn't become the young master, Honghualou is still worthy of this status?"

"Yeah, I haven't had such a good seedling in Honghualou for 30 years..."

"Hey, Yuanming really wasn't that fierce back then, I guess the old host could only have this momentum when he was young..."

……

The heroes of Honghualou talked a lot.

Song Chi's expression gradually changed from complicated to helpless when he heard the words of Xiangzhu, the master of each hall.

Song Chi really wanted to be the head of the family, after all, Pei Xiangjun couldn't support the facade of Honghualou at all.Now Qinglongtang has a successor, whose potential is much greater than his 50-year-old uncle, and all the hall masters and incense masters have recognized him, and he can't find any faults, so what else can he say?
Song Chi thought about it or smiled in relief:
"Nephew Yexian's talent is unprecedented. I'm afraid he is already a real master. Not to mention being a young master, even if he is a master, I have no objections."

Pei Xiangjun shook his head and said: "Jingtang has just entered the Jianghu, and he doesn't even recognize the forces in the Jianghu. It's okay to be a young master to support the facade, but the landlord can't do it."

Ye Jingtang had self-knowledge and said with a smile: "The gun was held down just now, and it was already considered a loss. The backhand is purely due to natural divine power. I guess I have the background of a master, but without the martial arts attainments of a master, the word "grand master" is still unworthy." .”

Song Chi and the others stopped talking, and bowed their hands to Pei Xiangjun:
"The landlord should take nephew Yexian to check on the injury. There were a lot of troubles in the building, but now it seems that there is nothing troublesome. I can deal with it myself."

The internal and external troubles of Honghualou can be summed up in one point - insufficient strength and worrisome future.

Ye Jingtang was a reassurance, the hall masters had a solid foundation in their hearts, and naturally there were no messy objections.

Since Pei Xiangjun came to power, it may be the first time that he went so smoothly, he didn't say much at the moment, and left contentedly with his precious lump...
