Qi Ning thought for a while before asking, "Brother Lou, there is one thing that may not be appropriate, so I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Just say it." Master Lou Wen said openly: "There is nothing between you and my brothers who should ask or not."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I would like to ask, if I were killed seriously this time, the Aoki Conference would definitely select a new gang leader. In your opinion, who is the most suitable person to inherit the gang leader?"

Master Lou Wen smiled and said, "There are always three ways to inherit the leader of the Beggars' Sect. The first one is naturally designated by the leader, but even so, most of the four elders and the twenty-eighth constellation masters must agree. However, there will certainly be no problem with the people selected by the leader of the previous dynasties. Therefore, since the establishment of the Beggars' Sect, almost all the heirs designated by the leader have successfully inherited the position of the leader. This second method is at an extraordinary time. If the Beggars' Sect encounters the survival of the Beggars' Sect, there is a person in the gang to stand up and turn the tide and everyone in the gang supports it, then even the leader of the gang cannot decide the successor. However, these people are all talents of the world. It is rare in my Beggars' Sect. More than a hundred years ago, there was a leader of the Luo Gang who made a great contribution and the former leader abdicated the throne to give way."

Qi Ning said: "What is the last method?"

"This last choice is after the gang leader encounters an unexpected accident." Master Lou Wen looked solemn: "The Beggars' Sect holds a Qingmu Conference. Any disciple of the Beggars' Sect, regardless of their height, is qualified to participate in the helping choice. However, it is even more difficult to choose the gang leader in this way. Not only do you have to be excellent in martial arts, but you also need to be supported by the gang members. Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, you are selected from the four elders."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and understood in his heart that there were countless disciples of the Beggar Sect, and there were many powerful martial arts. Among the disciples of the Beggar Sect, many of them had more martial arts than the four elders. However, when it comes to their status and qualifications in the Beggar Sect, naturally no one can compare to the four elders. The four elders each lead one side and each have countless supporters. So in the final analysis, the four elders still have to fight for the position of the gang leader by relying on their martial arts.

"The gang leader encounters an unexpected accident. If the new gang leader succeeds to the throne, he must find the real culprit within two years and then hold a meeting. The murderer needs to be mature and 49 swords that can be fatal." Master Lou Wen said seriously: "If the real culprit cannot be found within two years and cannot avenge the gang leader, then he must automatically abdicate and let others go."

Qi Ning said: "Baihu released the news that he was killed by the gang leader. This time, the Qingmu Conference in Gulongzhong, Xiangyang will naturally re-select the gang leader." He smiled faintly and said: "So what about Baihu's martial arts?"

Master Lou Wen smiled and said, "If it comes to martial arts, among the four elders, my martial arts are probably no less than the other three. However, in terms of talent, Northern Xuanwu is stronger than me. His martial arts are not weak. I originally made up my mind that if I really want to choose the leader of the gang this time, Xuanwu will not let him go."

Qi Ning was a little surprised and thought that Master Lou Wen was really upright. He had good martial arts skills and domineering the side. If he really wanted to compete for the position of leader of the gang, he might not have no chance. However, he made up his mind to support the Northern Xuanwu, and had no selfish desires, and felt a little respect in his heart.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. People in the world never feel that they are behind others. They are both the four elders. Mr. Lou Wen’s martial arts are not inferior to Xuanwu, but he is willing to give up the virtuous. This demeanor makes people admire him. Qi Ning was originally worried that the four elders would fight each other and eventually get the White Tiger. Now that Mr. Lou Wen supports Xuanwu, these two elders may not be able to compete with Baihu when they join forces.

When Qi Ning thought of this, he felt relieved and smiled: "Brother is open-minded and admirable. But when he went to Xiangyang, he should pay more attention to the White Tiger."

"Brother Qi, you want to say something but stop. What's going on?" Master Lou Wen frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly, don't be taboo."

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, if I say Xiang Gang's leader was seriously injured, it was because Baihu colluded with others. I wonder if you believe it?"

Master Lou Wen was stunned, Gongsun Jian and others were also stunned, looking at each other. Master Lou Wen frowned and was silent for a moment before saying, "I will investigate this matter. Among the four elders, Baihu is the first to be the leader. He has been in the Beggars' Sect for decades and has made many contributions!" After pondering slightly, he smiled and said, "But Brother Qi's words, I will remember that after we meet Xuanwu in Xiangyang, we will have our own concerns."

At this time, I suddenly heard the strong boatman say, "A few heroes, the rain has become much lighter, so you can cross the river."

Master Lou Wen nodded and said, "I'm working hard."

The two boatmen left the cabin and Master Lou Wen said: "In terms of qualifications, Baihu is qualified to serve as the leader of the gang, but his talent is mediocre and difficult to convince the public. Moreover, since the leader is still alive, there is no need to choose the leader again. In the letter, Baihu kept saying that the leader was killed, but at that time he asked him to provide conclusive evidence. If he could not see the body of the leader, no one could be the leader."

The two of them talked in the cabin. After half a stick of incense, the ferry had already arrived on the other side. Qi Ning had some broken silver on her body, but she had no copper coins. She took a piece of broken silver as the ship's supplies and forced the old man to accept it. The old man thanked her for her.

Qi Ning thought that it was unrealistic to get away with the current situation with the red dan. The old man said that there was a small temple twenty miles southwest to treat the injury. He thought that he would go over and take a look first and ask the old man in detail. Master Lou Wen was going west. After the two said goodbye, Master Lou Wen led his subordinates to go west. Qi Ning could only carry the red dan and turn to the southwest.

Chi Danmei has a sexy figure, but she is light in weight. Qi Ning has a deep internal strength. It is naturally no problem to carry Chi Danmei. After only a while, the rain has stopped and the sky is still gray. It is already evening. At first glance, there are green wild grass not far ahead, but there is a dense bamboo forest on the left. It is only a few miles away. Qi Ning thought that there should be what the old man said, so he quickly walked over there.

Near the bamboo forest, after the heavy rain, bursts of bamboo fragrance wafted out of the bamboo forest, mixed with the earthy smell after the heavy rain, making people feel refreshed.

Qi Ning felt a little strange, and thought to herself that the temple would be built in the bamboo forest. When she arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest, she quickly found a path to the depths of the bamboo forest. The red dan Mei on her back did not wake up, but her breathing was quite symmetrical. She immediately followed the path into the bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest after the rain, there was a layer of mist floating in the bamboo forest, like smog. After walking along the path for a long time, she suddenly saw that there was a small pond in front of her. The water was clear, and lotus leaves were floating on it. There were even frogs lying on the lotus leaves and croaking. There were four wooden houses beside the pond. Qi Ning frowned, thinking that the old man said there was a temple here, but there were no traces of the temple at this time. There were several small wooden houses, which were quite puzzled.

Qi Ning knew that although Chi Danmei had high martial arts skills, she naturally would not be lucky when she was unconscious at this time. Her whole body was already wet. If she did not set up a fire in time, she would be afraid that she would aggravate her injuries. She walked around the pond and went to the wooden house and saw that three of the wooden houses were closed with wooden doors. Only the wooden house on the edge was slightly open. Qi Ning knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone in the house?"

There was no sound in the house. Qi Ning asked again, and there was silence everywhere. There seemed to be no sign of the wooden house in the forest. He gently pushed open the wooden door and there was no one in the house. Although there were windows, the weather outside was gloomy, so the room was naturally very dark. I could see a bed in the corner of the house, with no bedding on it, a table in the middle of the house, two small wooden chairs on the side, but there was an oil lamp on the table, and there was even a flint next to it.

Qi Ning saw that although the house was simple, it was quite clean, and it seemed that someone lived here. Otherwise, if no one lived there for a long time, there would definitely be a layer of dust.

He went over and placed Chi Danmei carefully on the bed, and then came out of the door, trying to find a stove to make a fire. When he arrived at the other three wooden houses, the wooden door could not be pushed open. With his martial arts, it was naturally easy to break into the door, but after all, there was someone living in this place, and it was already rude to not get allowed to enter the house. If he broke into the door, he would wait for a robber.

Not only was the wooden door closed, but the windows of the three wooden houses were also sealed with wooden boards. I couldn't see the situation inside clearly. Qi Ning was confused and suddenly smelled a strange smell. He raised his nose and sniffed it. Then he raised his hand and fanned it on the tip of his nose. It was a rotten smell, even with a trace of blood, which was filled with the air. The bamboo fragrance in the bamboo forest was very strong before. If he didn't smell it carefully, it would be difficult to detect it. At this time, Qi Ning smelled the clues beside the wooden house.

He walked around the back of the wooden house, trying to find something to make fire, and by the way to see if anyone was there. After arriving at the house, the smell was stronger. He saw a path behind him leading deeper into the bamboo forest. After walking a few steps along the path, the smell was clearer. Qi Ning knew that the source was right in front, so he took the cold blade in his hand, followed the path, and walked a while, and the smell was almost disgusting. He covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel. He walked for a while, but saw a pit in front of him. He approached the path, but saw that the pit was full of rotten flesh and bones. Maggots were squirming on the rotten flesh and bones, and green-headed flies were buzzing in groups.

Qi Ning's stomach rolled and almost vomited. She covered her mouth and glanced at it barely. She saw that there seemed to be animals in the pit. Suddenly, she saw a human skull exposed between the rotten flesh. She felt a stern in her heart. She suddenly felt something was wrong, so she turned around and forgot the cabin and ran over.

He was waving and walked as fast as he saw the row of wooden houses. Suddenly, he saw a shadow appearing on the side. He held the cold blade in his hand tightly and looked over. He saw that it was a white-haired old woman in her fifties and sixties, with a wooden stick in her hand and a bamboo basket on her back. Because of her hunchback, her whole body was almost bent to ninety degrees. The old woman obviously heard the sound, raised her head slightly, turned her head to look over, but Qi Ning saw that the old woman looked ugly, and her left eye had a sarcoma, covering her entire left eye.
