As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

…………

Gu Zhou was afraid of drinking and making trouble, so Gu Zhou didn't prepare any wine. Only the clan elders had wine. Gu Zhou toasted one by one, and everyone was smiling. hand, said: "Gu Zhou, I'm almost seventy, and I'm about to retire. Are you interested in being the patriarch of the Gu clan?"

Gu Zhou said calmly: "Master, you look like you are 50 years old at most, and you are full of energy. I am still young, but I can't bear such a big burden."

Since ancient times, from the succession of the emperor to Song Jiang in the Water Margin, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe added to his body, he had to give up three times.

When the emperors of each dynasty ascended the throne, they had to pretend to perform it once.

This set of forms is called "three persuasions to advance", as the name suggests, that is, the courtiers have to persuade them to enter three times, and the emperor has to push back twice, before finally agreeing reluctantly.

Generally speaking, the first persuasion is made by a person with prestige and appeal among the officials.

Although everyone agrees that Gu Zhou is the patriarch, if he really agrees readily, everyone will feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Gu Zhou's resignation, everyone smiles and nods, praising this good guy in their hearts.

Gu Dahai's beard trembled wildly as he laughed, and his voice became brighter and brighter: "I'm not as young as you said. I'm getting old and I can't do what I want. I should make room for young people. After much deliberation, only you are the most suitable.".

Chapter 55 Why did you look back five hundred times?

Gu Zhou continued to decline, and the old patriarch and several elders began to persuade him.

Other people who have the right to speak in the clan also looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would accept.

Gu Zhou was actually a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that the clan recognized him more than he imagined.

What he didn't know was that the impact of that batch of weapons and equipment on Gu Dahai and the others was far greater than he had imagined. In the area around Qingshan Town alone, there were three gangs of gangsters, ranging from a dozen to hundreds of people. They often come down the mountain to rob, and Qingshan Town has been looted many times.

A few people will die every time. Fortunately, the people in Qingshan Town are united. Although there are not many guns, the sturdy folk style makes the gangsters quite afraid.

Qingshan Town has set up its own regiment training, coupled with German weapons and equipment, so that there will be no need to worry about the threat of bandits in the future.

It was also for this reason that Gu Dahai made a complete decision to give up the position of patriarch to Gu Zhou.

After three words and three concessions, Gu Zhou finally agreed "helplessly": "It is my honor, Gu Zhou, for everyone's approval. Since everyone trusts me, I will put my words here. From today onwards, the Gu family will never have Anyone who starves to death, freezes to death, let alone dies at the hands of bandits and hemp bandits!"

Gu Dahai patted the back of Gu Zhou's hand heavily, his face flushed with excitement: "It's enough to have your words! After this year, you will be the patriarch of my Gu clan!"

After chatting with the old people for a while, Gu Zhou left and walked towards Xiao Hongyi who had been watching him all the time: "Master, you have been looking at me, have you discovered my strengths?"

"You're getting thicker and thicker!"

Xiao Hongyi snorted coldly and looked away.

Gu Zhou smiled and walked back, the plaque of 'Gu's House' had already been hung up on the door, and speaking of it, he hadn't taken a good look around the renovated house yet, and was going to take a stroll.

Xiao Hongyi followed and walked side by side, ignoring Gu Zhou's clothes, which seemed a bit like a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady.

"Master, do you think we are destined?"

"Why do you say that?"

Gu Zhou said leisurely: "The Buddha said that after looking back [-] times in the previous life, we just passed by in this life. You and I met, it was fate to look back [-] times, and in a sense, it can be regarded as sharing life and death together. In this way, far more than five hundred times of looking back."

He intended to say something earthy and romantic, to tease Gu Hongyi, but he didn't know that Qing Leng Liren didn't understand at all. He frowned and thought, wondering, "Why did you keep looking back at me in your previous life? You've looked back five hundred times, so you can't look straight at me." Is it?"

"......????!!!!!!"

Gu Zhou froze for a few seconds, looked at the slightly cute Xiao Hongyi, and said hesitantly, "Maybe... I had a problem with my neck in my previous life? I can only look back at you?"

Xiao Hongyi pondered for a while and then shook his head: "Probably not, martial arts practitioners, watch six directions and listen to all directions. I don't care if you look back at me. If you look back at me two or three times, I will be vigilant. Look back at me." Ten eyes, I will definitely step forward and ask you why you look at me, how can I make you look back five hundred times?"

"Cough cough..."

Gu Zhou coughed lightly, probably knowing that earthy love talk was useless to her, so he changed the subject stiffly: "What do you think of my house?"

"It's okay, but there are too many houses, too few people, and not enough popularity. You live in such a big house, don't you feel lonely?"

"Isn't there still you?"

"I won't be here for long, I'll leave later."

"........."

"Master, what are you going to teach me?"

"I am most proficient in two disciplines. One is eight-step catching cicadas, which is footwork, and the other is Dafengfengjian. In fact, this is not swordsmanship. Its full name is Dapufeng. It can be swordsmanship or Even if it is the sword method, the stick method, and the spear method. Because I use a sword, it is called the Dapofeng Sword."

"Is there such a thing?" Gu Zhou was very surprised.

After Xiao Hongyi's explanation, Gu Zhou realized that Dafengfeng is half method and half mind, half method and half artistic conception.

The beheading sword technique is a pure sword technique without artistic conception.

What is artistic conception?

Not specific, mysterious and mysterious things.

For example, the beheading sword technique is an artistic conception technique, and this technique will tell the practitioner that it is a technique for beheading heads.

As for how to cut off the head, from what angle, and how to use the best force, there is no description, let you understand it yourself.

That's the case with Dapufeng.

Splashing is a kind of catharsis.

A kind of frenzy.

The wind is extremely fast.

And big, is to cover the Quartet, all-encompassing.

It is impossible for ordinary martial arts practitioners to learn the big splashing wind. The big splashing wind is fast, fierce, violent, pervasive, impervious to splashing water, and requires a lot of physical strength to display it. Not enough physical strength is a joke.

"So what I use is a knife, and in my hand is the Big Wind Knife?"

"good."

"Master, start whipping... Cough cough, start teaching me."

"it is good!"

…………

into the night.

A figure quietly climbed over the wall, without disturbing anyone, ran out of the town, pulled out a group of horses that had been prepared from the woods, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Because the horses could not gallop at full speed at night, it took three hours to get outside the county seat.

North of the city.

Xie House.

The power of the Xie family is similar to that of the Tang family. They also run opium dens. Both lenders are competitors and respect the same person.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad. After learning that the Tang family was wiped out by the so-called injustice, everyone in the Xie family was greatly shocked.

And tonight, most of the Xie family gathered together to discuss how to defend themselves if that injustice came to them.

The blood flowed into rivers in the Tang Mansion, which can be killed by unjust people. If it were the Xie Mansion, the outcome would most likely be the same.

"Who the hell is this injustice? What the hell is the government doing? The injustice killed dozens of people. Logically, we should try our best to hunt down such a heinous case. After a day and a night, even a little bit of injustice No news at all."

"You don't know about those wastes in the patrol camp? They don't have much ability. They need to be proficient in everything. Besides, the county magistrate was assassinated by Boxer assassins last night. He almost died. A large number of people from the government are chasing the Boxer assassins."

"Is it such a coincidence? I heard that Bupingren may be a remnant of the Boxer Regiment."

"It's not possible! I think it is! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"It's so lawless! Let a villain wantonly kill people in the county!"

"People from the government can't count on it, why don't we send people to investigate it ourselves."

People from the Xie family were much more prosperous than the Tang family, and there was a lot of discussion, everyone's surprise, anger, anxiety, and fear were written on their faces.

boom!

Master Xie slapped the table hard: "Shut up! It's a mess, how decent! I asked you to come here today to discuss, not to make noise!".

Chapter 56: A Crazy Man Sharpens His Sword at Night! (available tomorrow)

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Mr. Xie stroked his gray beard and continued with satisfaction:

"The murder has already happened, so it's useless to say more. There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, and the best way to do it now is to mobilize the power of our Xie family, and we can also unite with the Chen family and the Hu family to arrest them." Stop the murderer. Otherwise, there will be an unreasonable person today, and an unresponsive person tomorrow, all cynical, how can we live in peace?"

After hearing what he said, everyone in the Xie family nodded, feeling that Jiang was still old and hot, and he was still so clear in his 70s.

"Father is right! This unscrupulous person committed a murder, and must have been hiding around in anxiety. We immediately mobilized all the rogues to find out all suspicious people."

"I suggest focusing on those who were forced to death by the Tang family's money lending, and focusing on investigating their family members."

Everyone in the Xie family was excited. They were more motivated than the government to arrest the murderer. Seeing the scene of the Tang family's corpses strewn all over the place, they were inexplicably horrified. They were afraid they would follow in the footsteps. They just wanted to mobilize the power of the Xie family and unite everyone The noble gentry caught the murderer.

As long as the murderer is not arrested and brought to justice, they will not feel at ease.

Boom!

At this moment, there was a bang in the front yard, accompanied by a thunderous explosion sound out of thin air:

"Injustice!! Let's kill people!"

The waves of sound resounded through Xie's mansion.

The faces of the people in the Xie Mansion gathered in the lobby changed drastically, and they all panicked.

"Oops! I was wiped out by the injustice!"

"Why did this villain come so soon?"

"Could it be that he also wants to kill our Xie Mansion?"

Master Xie gave a heavy blow to his crutches: "Don't panic! The more you panic, the sooner you will die! Pass the order down, take out all the guns, and ask all the guards to protect the lobby, and if any dissatisfied people appear, they will be shot to death immediately!"

…………

There was already a bloody storm in the front yard, Gu Zhouzhu rushed forward, with the Vajra Talisman blessing himself, as if entering no one's land, he killed through the guard yard in just a few minutes, and went straight to the back yard.

As soon as he arrived at the lobby, he was greeted with a hail of bullets, which made Gu Zhou's body tremble non-stop, as if he had reached his limit. Fortunately, it was enough to support Gu Zhou to cover this distance, killing all the guard gunmen, like a storm Wreak havoc among the people of the Tang family.

The catastrophe was imminent, and these people in the Tang Mansion were no different from ordinary people. They all lost their souls, dripping with tears, begging for mercy on their knees, but Gu Zhou didn't soften his heart, and cut off their heads one by one.

When the people from the patrol battalion arrived, they still saw bloody corpses all over the ground, and Gululu rolling his head was extremely terrifying.

The murderer fled without a trace.

On the wall, there is still a line of words left in blood: Do not give up!Never mind!

In just three days, two noble gentry in Daxiang County were wiped out by the same person.

Injustice!

Bupingren became famous and spread the word with lightning speed.

Bupingren has not stopped his legend.

In the next half month, he committed five murders successively. During the heavy defense of the Chen family and the Hu family, he did not attack the Chen family and the Hu family again, but attacked other notorious people.

First, in a rampant village, he bought and sold by force, insulted young girls many times, widows and innocent bullies had their heads cut off by him, and their bodies were hung on bamboo poles, which was shocking.

Then there are lawyers who specialize in litigation for rich gentry and wealthy businessmen. When they go out the next morning, they find that their heads have been cut off and placed under their buttocks.

This lawyer's eyes are in the eyes of money, no matter whether the tyrants and rich businessmen commit murder, rape, or robbery, as long as they have money, they can ask him to help them get rid of the crime.

As a result, the people hated him to the bone. As soon as the news spread that he had his head cut off, the people wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

After ten days of heavy defense, the Patriarch of the Hu family thought that the murderer had started to attack other people, and he would not pay attention to him for a short time. Finally, he couldn't help but stepped out of the Hu mansion and went to inspect the smokehouse. He rushed in and out from the outside, slashed his head with a knife, and the guards around him quickly fired, but it was of no avail.

The Patriarch of the Chen family was so frightened that he never dared to step out of the Chen family. No matter what he did, he was surrounded by fifty people at all times, and the surroundings were covered with explosives. As long as the injustice dared to appear, the explosives would be detonated immediately.

At this time, the Buping people with a radius of hundreds of miles have already become famous far and wide, and the white and black ways have placed huge bounties on the whereabouts and heads of the Buping people.

One hundred thousand oceans!

I don't know how many people are dispatched to find his whereabouts.

But at this moment, Bupingren made another shocking case, assassinating the county magistrate of Daxiang County!

In terms of evil, this county magistrate is the head of the evil in Daxiang County. The Tang family, Xie family, Chen family, and Hu family all colluded with him.

Since he took office, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Daxiang County have begun to increase, and they have been apportioned layer by layer with various names.

Began to have the demeanor of the warlords behind, and formulated a pig slaughter tax. On weekdays, not only pigs were slaughtered to be taxed, but even pigs were tied up and ready to be killed.

As soon as the tax came out, the people complained a lot, wishing they could tear him apart.
