Chapter 52 Framing the blame
The fight and screams upstairs immediately caused the entire inn to become noisy.

This flower thief is a member of the Yandang Sect and is extremely bold and lustful. Unfortunately, Niu Wanrou is even more fierce than heaven.

The flower thief was caught on the spot, so naturally the people of Yandang Sect had nothing to say. They wanted to immediately distance themselves from the matter and even paid a large sum of money as compensation. Brother Lu knew that the Yandang Sect had always been a loose group and that they were outnumbered at the moment, so he did not pursue the matter any further. He just shot the flower thief to death with a light shot and left the body to be disposed of by the Yandang Sect.

The entire inn gradually quieted down. The only people who were hurt in the whole incident were the flower thief who died somewhat unjustly and the unlucky runaway bride.

Early the next morning, the people of the Yandang Sect were probably ashamed to see Wu Chengyu and others again, so they all set off before daybreak.

Wu Chengyu and his companions had breakfast and set off again.

Wu Chengyu might have been too excited last night and couldn't sleep well. She felt drowsy when she got in the car. After a while, she was suddenly woken up by He Zhiyu. He Zhiyu pointed under the table. There was a small package, which was not very conspicuous. She didn't know when it was put there, and no one noticed it when they got in the car.

Wu Chengyu reached out and picked it up, and immediately realized that the package had the scent of that woman.

After opening the package, there was a book and an iron token inside.

The book is about dozens of pages thick. The title says Thousand Hands, and there is a line of small characters: Secret Teachings of the Head of the Yandang Sect. After reading it, I realized that this is the unique martial arts of the Yandang Sect. The name looks powerful, but it is actually a martial arts method specifically for training the hands.

The Yandang School specializes in small street businesses, and emphasizes flexible hands and eyes, bowing and nodding, and sudden moves while pouring tea or passing water. Practicing this technique can greatly improve the flexibility of the hands, and it also comes with pictures demonstrating a set of small grappling techniques, which can be regarded as close-range offensive palm techniques.

Even with Wu Chengyu's limited martial arts knowledge, he could see that this secret book was not some peerless magical skill, nor did it have the Bi Bo Palm as a basic palm technique to train the hands, eyes, body and steps. It was more of a hand application. If it were in the eyes of Huang Yaoshi, he would definitely regard it as a small trick, not worth mentioning.

The Yandan Sect is indeed not a real martial arts sect, and even such martial arts are secretly passed down by the sect leader.

As for the token, it is naturally the leader's token. It is diamond-shaped with cloud patterns on the edge. On one side are the three words "Yandang Mountain" and some mountain and river patterns. On the other side is written "The leader is here in person."

However, this token is made of pure iron, the materials are ordinary, and the workmanship is a bit crude. It does not look like the token of a sect leader.

Wu Chengyu weighed the token in his hand for a few times, shook his head and laughed, thinking that such a sect was crude and shallow, but it still had a legacy in the period of "Swordsman". It seems that the lower-level sects are sometimes more vital.

But then again, the runaway bride suffered a great loss last night. It was originally just a prank to scare Wu Chengyu, but now she has become ruthless and directly framed her.

This move was so cruel and merciless that Wu Chengyu immediately felt that disaster was imminent and broke out in cold sweat.

The leader's token and secret manual of a martial arts sect were stolen. This is a great revenge that will destroy the entire family and the sect. No matter which sect it is, it will not let it go, and there will inevitably be bloodshed.

Even though the martial arts skills of the Yandang Sect members were not very high, there were seventy or eighty of them last night. If they attacked all at once, Wu Chengyu and the others would definitely suffer.

How could he get into such a big trouble for no reason, especially since he originally intended to be a hero and save the beauty. A good show was messed up. Wu Chengyu is regretting it now. Since leaving Gushan County, he has not had a smooth journey and has been in danger everywhere.

Wu Chengyu wanted to throw the thing out of the window immediately, but unfortunately he found it too late. At this moment, Wu Chengyu heard someone shouting in front of him. He lifted the curtain and saw that it was the disciple of Yandang Sect who had set out early in the morning.

For some reason, they were now divided into two groups, arguing and arguing with each other, their faces red and ears red, ready to fight at any moment. Needless to say, they must have discovered that the master's token was missing and were attacking each other. Wu Chengyu knew it was too late to throw the things in his hands. "The token and secret manual were lost in your hands, so you are responsible. No one can deny it."

"Don't even think about it. You might have stolen it from us on purpose in order to seize the position of Sect Leader."

"You are slandering me, or perhaps you are just hiding it all yourselves. If you want to be the head of the sect, just say so directly. There is no need to do such shady things."

"..."

Both sides refused to give in and argued until their faces turned red and their necks were thick. Some of them looked at each other unkindly and had already pulled out knives. Even when Brother Lu wanted to let them pass through, they ignored his words.

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice interrupted and said, "It wasn't just our Yandang Sect that was at the inn last night. These people also lived there and had an argument with our brothers. Maybe they were the ones who stole it."

With these words, everyone's attention was diverted to Wu Chengyu and the others. Sister Niu immediately took out two four-sided bronze maces, her eyes wide open as she shouted, "What in the Yandang Sect do we have that is worth stealing? Don't wrongly accuse good people. We are not to be trifled with."

People who are used to running small businesses know how to look down on others. They obviously know that Sister Niu and her friends are not easy to mess with, especially Sister Niu with her leopard-like head and round eyes. They all turned their heads back and continued to curse at each other.

The man with the hoarse voice was obviously fanning the flames between the Yandang Sect and Wu Chengyu and the others, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He was short and fat, not at all noticeable in the group, and the people around him didn't seem to be familiar with him. Wu Chengyu suspected that although these people claimed to be from the same sect, most of them didn't know each other and only got together for the temple fair. They might forget about each other completely the moment they turned around.

However, his height was similar to that of the runaway bride last night. Although he looked fat and had dark skin, Wu Chengyu immediately discovered many flaws on the other person with his sharp eyes. The skin on his neck and face was clearly black and white, his beard was a little sloppy, and his eyes were very similar to the woman last night.

The most important thing is that the smell on this person is similar to that of the woman, which clearly shows that it is the woman in disguise. It seems that it is not surprising that there is the art of disguise in Jin Yong's world.

The man couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the people from Yandang Sect completely ignored Wu Chengyu and the others and continued to quarrel among themselves.

"Have you forgotten that the Yandang Sect's unique skill, the Thousand Machine Hands, was stolen along with the token? This involves the sect's secrets, so you can't let any suspicious person go."

At this moment, a disciple of the Yandang Sect suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw another Thousand Machine Hands appear in front of her.

The Yandang disciple was very generous: "Brother, you have just joined our Yandang Sect, right? Almost everyone of us has a copy of the Thousand Machine Hands. The one in the Sect Leader's hand is the original version, so as the Sect Leader's token, everyone knows how to use it. If you don't know how to use it, just take it and learn it yourself."

Thanks to SONE孤浪影 for the reward.

Yesterday a friend suggested that we let the protagonist develop for a while before going out to play. I agree with this, but everyone’s arrangements are different. The protagonist stayed in Gushan, and there are really not many things he can practice. On the way back, I arranged all the scriptures, and there will be a surprise when I return home, so only when I go back can I officially start practicing.

I also know that I have written too much in this paragraph, but I have written most of it. In a few chapters, this journey home will be completed, and then it will be Wujiaopo’s growth life.

Thank you all for your support. We really gained a lot yesterday and I hope we can achieve good results today.
