Halfway through Zhongnan, Li Zhige casually threw the two corpses by the roadside.
For these two monks, wild beasts will collect their bodies for them.
Looking back at Zhongnan, Li Zhige strode away.
When he first came to Zhongnan, Li Zhige didn't expect Yang Qingqing to lend him the cold jade bed. He just wanted to give it a try.
As a result, Li Zhige did not expect that Yang Qingqing would be so easy to talk to.
It's just that the ancient tomb is isolated from the world, and Yang Qingqing has little contact with the outside world. In addition, she practices the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra, which is pure and ascetic, so she looks cold.
In fact, Yang Qingqing is a kind and enthusiastic girl, not as inaccessible as imagined.
Li Zhige also noticed Yang Qingqing's intention to teach him some unique skills, but he couldn't accept it.
Don't accept too many favors from others, otherwise Li Zhige will feel very heavy.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Li Zhige stopped.
Opposite, a woman with an ugly face and a bloated figure held a green polygonatum in her left hand, and held a seven or eight-year-old girl in her right hand.
The woman obviously had martial arts skills, but at this moment she was seriously injured and her breath was weak. She just kept dragging the girl up the mountain.
In the woman's hands, the girl was ugly, with her nostrils pointing upwards and a big mouth, revealing two prominent front teeth.
The girl sobbed softly and followed the woman up the mountain. She cried as she ran and asked her mother, "Mom, we don't care about dad anymore. Where are you taking me?"
The woman didn't answer, and her expression became even more anxious.
"Mrs. Shi, you better stop struggling and hand over the dog-beating stick and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms secret book. I, Chen Youliang, can make the decision and let you mother and daughter live."
A tall young man walked slowly behind the woman and girl. He was wearing a clean robe, but there were eight bags sewn on the robe.
Behind this tall young man, there followed a group of beggars, some holding sticks and some holding swords.
The woman stopped, with deep despair in her eyes. She held the girl in her arms, her eyes were blood red and she cursed at the young man, "Chen Youliang, you must die a good death! It is in vain that my husband treats you so well, teaches you martial arts, and kills you." Treat it as your own. You actually colluded with outsiders to murder my husband in order to seize the position of leader of the Beggar Gang. "
"Don't you want the dog-beating stick and the secret book of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms? Come on, I'll give them to you. Do you dare to come and get them?"
The woman let go of the girl and protected her behind her. Her eyes were bloodshot and her life-threatening aura made the tall young man afraid to step forward.
Li Zhige stopped and watched quietly.
The young man who was only slightly shorter than himself turned out to be Chen Youliang, an eighth-generation disciple of the Beggar Clan.
The ugly-looking woman must be the wife of Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and the girl is Shi Huolong's only daughter.
Li Zhige remembered that there was such a passage in the original work.
Chen Youliang and Cheng Kun's master and apprentice secretly assassinated Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan. Shi Huolong and Cheng Kun fought twelve consecutive palm strikes and defeated Cheng Kun. Before Shi Huolong died, he asked his wife to bring the dog-beating stick and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms to the Ancient Tomb Sect of Zhongnan Mountain and give them to the descendants of the Condor Hero for temporary safekeeping.
As soon as Mrs. Shi arrived at the ancient tomb, she tilted her head and died.
Yang Qingqing took in Shi Hongshi, taught him martial arts, returned the dog-beating stick to Shi Hongshi when he was thirteen years old, and helped Shi Hongshi regain his position as the leader of the Beggar Clan.
The Beggar Gang is also one of the top gangs in the world. There was no sign of the Beggar Gang when the six major sects besieged Guangmingding. It is estimated that Shi Huolong was killed before that, and the Beggar Gang was in turmoil.
When Chen Youliang was chasing Shi Huolong's wife and daughter, Li Zhige was not in a hurry to leave, because Mrs. Shi was carrying a dog-beating stick and the secret book of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
The dog-beating stick is a token passed down from generation to generation by the Beggar Gang. It is a symbol of the status of the gang leader and a symbol of power.
As for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, they are the martial arts of the Beggar Clan. They are known as the best palms in the world. It has shone brightly in the hands of Qiao Feng, Hong Qi, Guo Jing and others, and shocked the martial arts world.
Li Zhige stood aside and thought, wondering whether to save the mother and daughter.
Chen Youliang was a cautious person. When facing Mrs. Shi who was seriously injured and dying, he did not take action himself. Instead, he winked at his subordinates and motioned for several subordinates to step forward to test her.
Several of Chen Youliang's subordinates raised their knives and sticks, swallowed, and carefully surrounded Mrs. Shi.
This Mrs. Shi is not a simple character. She is also the wife of the leader of the Beggar Clan. They, the minions, must be cautious when they want to kill Mrs. Shi.
Mrs. Shi protected her daughter behind her, her eyes were fierce, and she roared, "Don't you want the dog-beating stick and the secret book of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms? Come on, let's see who has the life to take it!"
Mrs. Shi was also a ruthless person, and she actually rushed out on her own initiative.
It's a pity that she was at the end of her strength.
After killing one of Chen Youliang's subordinates, Mrs. Shi was also stabbed several times. The bloody wounds were exposed by the brutal knife marks. She held on to prevent herself from falling.
Chen Youliang walked out step by step and said with a smile, "Madam, why are you doing this? How much strength do you have left now? Is it difficult to even stand?"
"The gang leader has passed away. I don't want to kill you and make the gang leader extinct. Give me the dog beating stick and the secret book, and I will let you mother and daughter go."
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed on Chen Youliang's face, and Mrs. Shi cursed angrily, "Chen Youliang, you thief, if you want to get the dog-beating stick and the secret book, you can take it from my corpse!"
"Mom, can you give the things to him? Hongshi has already lost his father, and he doesn't want to lose his mother again."
Shi Hongshi tugged on his mother's sleeves, tears streaming down her face and her voice choked with sobs.
Mrs. Shi looked back at her daughter, her eyes were soft, and she comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, Hongshi. You are the daughter of Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggar Clan. You must be strong and not cry. Mother, stay with Hongshi and never leave, okay?" ?”
"Mother, Hongshi won't cry."
Li Zhige stepped out and came to the group of people. Regardless of whether he could practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or not, he wanted to save the mother and daughter first.
In fact, Mrs. Shi, Chen Youliang and others had already noticed Li Zhige, but seeing that Li Zhige had no intention of meddling in his own business, none of them spoke to Li Zhige.
Seeing Li Zhige walking out, Chen Youliang's face turned ugly, and he asked in a threatening voice, "Who are you, sir? Do you want to interfere with my beggar gang's business?"
Li Zhige looked at Chen Youliang and said coldly, "Get out!"
Chen Youliang was not a good person either. He waved his hand and said, "Kill him!"
Immediately, a dozen minions rushed towards Li Zhige.
Li Zhige would naturally punch one of these gangsters.
By the time Li Zhige knocked down a dozen minions, Chen Youliang had already run some distance away, looking extremely embarrassed.
As expected of Chen Youliang.
When encountering an enemy, he lets his subordinates go first, but when the situation is not right, he immediately runs away. No wonder this cautious temperament can lead to great things.
Li Zhige did not go after Chen Youliang, but turned to look at Mrs. Shi.
If he was practicing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, with his current profound Nine-Yang Qi, these ten minions would be a matter of one palm, and it wouldn't take any effort.
Meeting Li Zhige's gaze, Mrs. Shi also knew what Li Zhige was thinking. She was breathless and said with a wry smile, "My hero, if you want the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, you can do it, but I want to ask you something. Please You must agree."
Li Zhige glanced at the woman and said calmly, "Mrs. Shi, we will discuss the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms later. Li will send you to a doctor first."
Mrs. Shi shook her head, "My hero, thank you very much for your kindness. But I have reached a point where my oil is running out and I can't save her."
Looking at Li Zhige, Mrs. Shi's face was rosy and she looked like she was looking back to the past. She asked, "What do you call a hero?"
Li Zhige replied, "Shen Fist Sect, Li Zhige."
"It turns out to be Daxia Li."
"Master Li, as you can see. That thief Chen Youliang is so ambitious that he colluded with foreign enemies to assassinate my husband and wanted to seize the position of leader of the Beggar Clan."
"Master Li, I beg you to protect my daughter from growing up safely, and help her regain her position as the leader of the Beggar Clan when she grows up."
"If Hero Li can agree to my request, I will make the decision and give you the secret book of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."
Li Zhige looked at the ugly woman in front of him, nodded, and responded in a deep voice, "Li promises you. I will protect your daughter from growing up safely and help her regain her position as gang leader."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Shi's face, "Master Li, you could have taken the secret book by force and ignored my request. But instead of doing so, you made a promise to me, and I believe in your character."
With that said, Mrs. Shi pulled her daughter over, pointed at Li Zhige and told her, "Hongshi, mother can't take care of you anymore. From now on, you will follow this Uncle Li and listen to Uncle Li's words, okay?"
"Mom, I don't want you to die! Please don't drop the red stone, okay?"
Shi Hongshi shook his head repeatedly, pulled his mother's sleeves and cried into tears.
Mrs. Shi smiled apologetically at Li Zhige and said, "Master Li, could you please let me have a few words with my daughter alone?"
Li Zhige turned around and walked some distance away, only to hear the intermittent crying of the little girl behind him.
