The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 53 A Farce

Even with her disguised face, the short and fat girl still showed an expression of extreme surprise, her eyes full of disbelief. She had never expected such a reaction.

In her haste, she forgot to lower her voice and shouted sharply, a bit embarrassed and annoyed, "And what about the leader's token? How can I be the leader without it? I can't just make another one."

This reminded everyone present, and the eyes of the two groups of Yandang Sect lit up at the same time, and the leader of one group shouted to the other.

"That's right, if it's lost, then it's lost. How about I spend some money to make a new token for you, and then you will be responsible for the position of the headmaster. We will have done our best."

"You don't need to be so generous. I've lost the sect leader's token countless times before. No one wants it even if I exchange it for wine. This one was made by the old sect leader at the foot of Yandang Mountain for five cents of silver. If you take over the position of sect leader, I'll give you ten or eight yuan."

Then the two sides pushed each other back and forth using the leader's token as an excuse, with the only purpose being to get the other party to take over as the leader.

Even Wu Chengyu was stunned. The story unfolded in a way he had never expected. Since when had the position of sect leader become so worthless? No one wanted it, and everyone avoided it as much as possible.

Big Brother Lu, standing next to him, smiled wryly and couldn't help but explain, "The Yandang Sect is made up of small vendors. If a disciple gets into conflict with someone in the martial arts world, they'll consider themselves unlucky if they encounter an evil spirit. If they encounter a reputable sect, they'll negotiate in the name of the Yandang Sect. Generally, they believe that peace brings wealth, and handing over silver guarantees safety.

Generally speaking, it means that when you are walking around the streets and alleys, you accidentally forget to pay your respects to the other party, and you can find the other party with a reasonable excuse.

Every year, disciples of the sect have to pay some money, which is managed by the sect leader. If something happens, the sect leader has to come forward and pay the money to settle the matter.

The quality of the disciples in the Yandang Sect was mixed, and they often failed to pay their dues on time or simply did not pay at all, while the leader had to constantly help them out, so the position of leader of the Yandang Sect was never a good one. It was said that the previous leader died of anger.

Because of this reason, after the old leader passed away, there was no new leader for a long time. They passed the buck to each other for a long time. As a result, before any result was announced, the Shaoxing Temple Fair came around. These people simply gave up and ran out together to make money first.

Like last night, we killed one of their flower thieves, and in order to keep the peace they gave us ten taels of silver, which was divided equally among them. However, when the next leader takes the throne, it will be deducted from the public silver.

After the old leader passed away, no one knew who had taken the public treasury's silver, so the new leader was already in debt, ten taels of silver. It was even more unreasonable for him to be the leader."

Are there any other such bizarre sects in the martial arts world? Wu Chengyu was truly enlightened today. Could it be that the purpose of establishing a society was to pay equal protection fees to other societies?
However, it is not incomprehensible. In the martial arts society, martial artists usually rely on force to disregard the law and have their own sphere of influence. Ordinary government offices dare not interfere. These small vendors travel around the world just to make money and have a meal, so they have to stick together for warmth.

But Wu Chengyu could not have imagined it, and the runaway bride probably could not have imagined it even more. Her experience in the martial arts world was probably not even as good as Wu Chengyu's. She had clearly stolen the secret book and token and put the blame on others, but it ended up like this.

However, as soon as she spoke, her identity was immediately exposed. It was obvious that she had bad intentions. Several sober people at the scene also focused their attention on her. Yu Xiaowu was even more straightforward and showed the throwing knife in his hand.

Wu Chengyu quickly pressed down Yu Xiaowu's hand, turned around and said to the short, winter-sized girl with a wry smile, "Miss, it was indeed me, Meng Lang, who did what happened earlier, but the frame-up is truly excessive. If it weren't for the broad-minded brothers of the Yandang Sect today, we would have come to blows. By acting this way, you've sealed this feud."

Frame-up is no small matter, but the ending was ridiculous. No harm was caused. However, if it were done by another sect, the consequences would be disastrous. You have to know that there were two powerless women in the car, He Zhiyu and A Ku.

The woman looked at Wu Chengyu with hatred. Her plan had backfired. It was too late to say anything now. She saw that Brother Lu and the others had unfriendly expressions and Yu Xiaowu's flying knife might be used at any time. She stomped her feet fiercely, turned around and got out of the crowd, and disappeared in a few flashes.

Her martial arts skills are average, but her lightness skills are excellent. Brother Lu and others were blocked by the disciples of Yandang Sect and could not catch up with them.

Seeing this, the Yandang Sect disciples also fell silent, probably guessing what had happened. Wu Chengyu laughed heartily, jumped off the carriage, and bowed to the leaders of the two factions.

"The seniors are all veterans of the martial arts world. Their experience is naturally far greater than that of the juniors. That person just now was clearly disguised and mixed in with you, trying to instigate the Yandang Sect disciples to fight us. The two seniors are wise and shrewd, and of course they will not be fooled.

To be honest with you, I discovered your sect's secret manual and the leader's token in my carriage early this morning, and I wanted to return them to you immediately.

Besides, what happened last night was that the flower thief asked for his own death. It has nothing to do with you seniors, so how can I let you spend money on it?

Here are ten taels of silver, as well as the secret manual and token. I will return them all to you, seniors. I hope you will not offend the harmony."

Wu Chengyu put the silver and the secret book token together. If it was just the secret book token, the other party would not be willing to take it, but with the silver, they almost started to fight over it again.

One of them said to Wu Chengyu, "This Thousand Machine Hand is a little gadget of our Yandang Sect, not worth mentioning. The one in your hand is the original copy, which is considered the Sect Master's token. The Thousand Machine Hand has been supplemented by several generations of predecessors and is no longer the same as before. It is a kind of fate that this little brother has passed on his hand to us.

I have a more detailed and powerful copy here, so I'll give it to you, little brother, to establish a good relationship with you."

After saying that, he took out a Thousand Machine Hands secret book which was three times thicker than the one Wu Chengyu had seen before and handed it to Wu Chengyu. At the same time, he looked at Wu Chengyu with an ambiguous look and blinked.

Wu Chengyu was stunned and subconsciously took it in his hand. He immediately realized that what the other person meant was that since Wu Chengyu had already read the secret book, he must not read it for nothing, so he simply gave him a more complete one. He said that he wanted to establish a good relationship with Wu Chengyu, but in fact he wanted Wu Chengyu to show his appreciation.

Wu Chengyu was completely caught off guard by this business.

However, Wu Chengyu also admitted that he had read the secret book, and simply took out another ten taels of silver and handed it to the other party. The other party happily accepted it. Now both the host and the guest were happy.

After everyone was back on the road, Wu Chengyu smiled wryly as he flipped through the supplementary and upgraded version of Thousand Machine Hands, and the bamboo slips in his mind gave his evaluation at the right time.

Thousand Machine Hands is a unique technique of the Yandang School. It emphasizes the use of skills in a small space. It is a kind of small grappling technique for close combat, mainly for sneak attacks, with quick and flexible moves.

Disadvantages: If the sneak attack fails, the subsequent attack will be weak. Instead, because you are too close to the opponent, you will be unable to dodge the opponent's counterattack.

Advantages: This exercise can improve the flexibility of your non-dominant hand. Regular practice can make your non-dominant hand more flexible.

Evaluation: A low-level martial art in the martial arts world, widely circulated, but not even a little bit inferior to the "Shuangbei Huzhu", and more suitable for the host's aptitude to practice.

Wu Chengyu had not expected that this Thousand Machine Hands technique could train his non-dominant hand. The ten taels of silver were not wasted. However, the Left-Right Fighting Technique had not appeared yet. It would have to wait a few years until the Old Boy was trapped on Peach Blossom Island and was extremely bored.

Although it is meant to satirize Wu Chengyu's low qualifications, it is indeed useful to Wu Chengyu now.
