Chapter Thirty-Nine Learning from each other
Chapter 39: Discussion
When Situ Liang walked into the hall, three people were whispering to each other, and Master Zhao sat silently in his original position, drinking tea. It seemed that he had never moved since Situ Liang left.
Situ Liang's footsteps made the conversation stop suddenly. The three of them exchanged glances. The gray-haired elderly man sat on the chair and did not get up. The other two stood up. One was a man with a medium figure and a very capable look, and the other was a middle-aged man with a slightly taller figure and a fair face. He was about 40 or 50 years old. He walked to the middle of the hall to greet Situ Liang. The three of them greeted each other. Situ Liang asked, "Master Zhang, Master Xing, how are you doing at home this year?"
The rich middle-aged man said, "Fortunately, the New Year with family is naturally delicious. Compared to the Situ Hall Master alone in the gang, Xing is a little uneasy."
Situ Liang waved his hand and said, "I am alone, so it's all the same wherever I go? Could it be that Brother Zhang, who has many wives and concubines, also accompanied me? I heard that Brother Zhang just found a young concubine before the New Year."
The capable man's face was a little flushed and he hurriedly said, "The Lord Situ has wronged me. Zhang is just an ordinary person. These seven emotions and six desires cannot be eliminated. It is not as good as the Lord Situ has obtained the true teachings of the immortals, cut off the fate of the mortals, and jump out of the world."
After hearing this, Situ Liang said with a strange expression: "Brother Zhang, do you think I am a monk? I am also planning to find someone to pass on the family line."
When the two heard this, they both said, "It's great, we're all waiting for that day."
The three of them stood and chatted. Elder Chu was impatient and coughed softly. After hearing this, Situ Liang hurried over to salute. Elder Chu frowned, nodded, and signaled Situ Liang to sit down.
Situ Liang then walked to the chair opposite Elder Chu and sat down. Before he could sit firmly, Elder Chu couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaoliang, is there any news about Ping'er?"
Elder Chu is an old man in the gang. He basically watched Situ Ping and Situ Liang grow up. He usually has the gang leader in the hall. The hall master calls them, but now he suddenly calls them the nicknames of their two people. I think he is very worried about Situ Ping.
Situ Liang felt a little excited and said quickly: "Elder Chu, my cousin has nothing to do. Now I can't go back to help for the time being."
Master Xing also asked: "What's going on? The gang leader has always been steady in his behavior. Something must have happened this time. I just asked Lao Zhao that he would not say anything and wait for you to come. Just say it quickly and don't keep it in the air."
Situ Liang nodded, took out the letter from his arms, stood up and handed it to Elder Chu.
Elder Chu pulled out the letter paper inside and read it carefully, but his brows became deeper and deeper. Then, the two masters Xing and Zhang also read the letter carefully.
After everyone finished reading the letter, the hall fell into silence.
Elder Chu spoke first and asked, "Xiaoliang, this letter is true."
Situ Liang nodded and said, "This is indeed my cousin's handwriting, and the time is consistent, so there should be no fakes."
Master Zhang interjected: "But this is strange. Why did Wan Jianfeng take the gang leader as his disciple? The gang leader has long passed the best opportunity to practice martial arts. Now he is at the entrance of Wan Jianfeng, how can he stand out?"
Master Xing also said: "The most suspicious thing is that the gang leader actually asked Wan Jianfeng's disciples to temporarily manage the affairs of the gang during her departure? What does this mean?"
Situ Liang also said: "If the gang leader is involved in the Wanjian Peak, we will naturally be the side branches of Wanjian Peak. For our Evil Tiger Gang, it is also a joy that comes from the sky and we can't ask for it on weekdays. However, if the gang leader cannot come back immediately, can we practice advanced martial arts?"
Elder Chu frowned and said, "For Wan Jian Peak, our power is just the little flesh on the fly. How could they like it? He even asked a few disciples to take over it? It would be too important."
Master Zhao was silent for a long time and also spoke: "There are too many doubts about this matter. I have to ask the leader to come back and explain carefully. Just find a few people and a letter to let us give the country we have worked hard to others. Isn't it a joke?"
Situ Liang smiled bitterly and said, "What should we do? Can we do it if we can't bear it?" The word "tolerance" seemed to be bitten very clearly.
The rest of the people didn't say anything. Yes, what else can they do? In the face of absolute force, any conspiracy and any resistance are futile.
But……
Seeing that everyone was silent, Elder Chu asked: "Where is the disciple of Wan Jian Peak?"
Situ Liang said: "We have arranged a rest, so we should finish supper now."
Elder Chu said: "Then let them come over and meet everyone and talk in detail."
Situ Liang nodded and asked someone to invite Qu Xiangfeng and others.
Soon, the seven people from Wanjian Peak came to the hall together.
The members of the Evil Tiger Gang came forward to greet each other, and then sat down separately.
Elder Chu said gently: "Young Hero Qu, we are poor and remote, and there are relatively shortages of things. I wonder if you can get used to it?"
Qu Xiangfeng quickly said, "Elder Chu is polite. It is common for us to walk around the world and sleep in the open. You are not unacceptable to it."
Elder Chu twisted his beard and said, "It's so good."
Then he asked: "Can Young Master Qu explain in detail the situation of the Situ leader of my gang?"
Qu Xiangfeng smiled and said, "Sister Situ is so lucky. By chance, I was attracted by Yun Feng, the elder Wan Jianfeng, and accepted it as a disciple. Now I am practicing in seclusion in Wan Jianfeng. Elder Yun is a famous master of my sect. I believe that Senior Situ's martial arts will be able to go further and enter the ranks of masters in the martial arts world. Qu is not very clear about the details of the situation. I will wait for Senior Situ to return to help and ask in detail."
The words were said without any clues.
Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Qu Xiangfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Qu came here this time and was ordered by his master to temporarily take over your gang's affairs, but I wonder what you are discussing?"
Although this was said to everyone, Qu Xiangfeng's eyes were looking at Elder Chu who was sitting on the top.
Elder Chu saw Qu Xiangfeng's eyes and was about to speak, but someone spoke first.
"How can we convince us if we just follow your command with just one letter?"
Qu Xiangfeng turned his head to look at it, but it was Lord Xing.
Qu Xiangfeng asked: "Then what should I do if Master Xing said?"
Lord Xing said: "No matter how you have to pass Xing's level first and let Xing see the sword technique of Wan Jianfeng."
Elder Chu quickly stopped him and said, "Lord Xing, don't be so rude."
Qu Xiangfeng said: "It's okay. It's really inappropriate to let your gang listen to our orders so simply, so I'll discuss with Master Xing and make a few moves so that Master Xing can convince him."
Situ Liang quickly said, "Young Hero Qu, Master Xing, we are all our own people, so we won't go to the martial arts venue. Let's talk in this hall, just click and stop, don't hurt the harmony, okay?"
Both nodded and agreed.
Lord Xing shouted to the outside: "Get my weapons here."
Soon, someone sent a tiny gun from outside, which was the famous weapon of Lord Xing.
Master Xing took it with one hand, shook it vigorously, and the tip of the gun drew several arcs. The long gun body made a "whimper" sound. Everyone in the Evil Tiger Gang couldn't help but think: "Although Master Xing is rich in figure, he has not let go of his martial arts. He has made great progress again after not seeing him for a few days."
On the other hand, the people at Wanjian Peak seemed to be not paying attention and were all expressionless.
Qu Xiangfeng pulled out the big sword behind him, and carried it with one hand to the middle of the hall.
Lord Xing began to murmur in his heart when he looked at Qu Xiangfeng. There were so many swords in this world, but it was rare to use such a wide sword. Moreover, it seemed that the sword was not light. Qu Xiangfeng held it with one hand, and it seemed that his arm strength was not small.
Just as he was about it, Qu Xiangfeng spoke: "Master Xing, please."
Lord Xing was not polite and said, "Okay, Mr. Qu, look at the gun."
After saying that, he held a gun in both hands and jumped forward. The tip of the gun pierced towards Qu Xiangfeng's heart. Qu Xiangfeng was not in a hurry. When the tip of the gun approached, he made a mistake and then turned his waist. He still held the sword with one hand, and stroked it upwards. Master Xing felt a huge force coming from the shooting site, and his body couldn't help but tilt to the side. So, he felt that he stomped his feet and used his light skills to stabilize his body. Just as he was about to change his breath and exert force again, he saw Qu Xiangfeng jumping into the air with the sword force of the upward slithering sword. He reached the extreme high point. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands and chopped at Master Xing. Master Xing was shocked. He usually only knew how to stab and chop with a sword, but he didn't expect that someone would use it as a knife. He chopped it down. He felt that he grabbed the head and tail of the gun with both hands, raised the fire to the sky, and came up.
In a blink of an eye, the sword and the gun were met, and there was a loud bang. Qu Xiangfeng's big sword bounced from the iron spear rod, and Lord Xing took three steps back. He just stood there with a stake and saw Qu Xiangfeng swinging the big sword again and chopping it up again with the bounced sword. Lord Xing was bitter and had no time to change his moves, so he could only raise the fire to meet the sky again. With another "bang", the big sword bounced up, but Qu Xiangfeng did not continue to move this time, but stood leisurely.
There, the sword tip was facing the ground, looking ahead. The opposite Lord Xing took four steps back. This time he couldn't stand firm with the stake. His legs were weak and he fell to the ground. The iron spear in his hand could no longer be held and threw it aside. When Lord Xing stood up, he found that the tiger's mouth of his hands had already shattered. He couldn't help but feel scared: "I don't know how much power there is in this thin body. It's really a divine power. Fortunately, it's a competition. Otherwise, if someone cuts another sword, his life will be lost."
Looking at the face of Lord Xing’s earthy face, Qu Xiangfeng hugged his fists and said, “Agree.”
Lord Xing replied, "I admire you, I admire you."
