Both of them were shocked. They didn't realize someone was next to them. They looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard, wearing tattered clothes, who looked like a beggar.

At this time, the old beggar was already sitting in front of them, eating the game in his hand cleanly like a whirlwind. While eating, he kept praising: "Delicious! Delicious! Even a beggar like me can't make such delicious barbecue."

As he spoke, he took the gourd from his back, uncorked it, and immediately the aroma of wine filled the air.

He gulped down a few gulps, then handed the wine gourd to Ye Fan and Yang Guo, saying, "Boys, come and have a drink. I ate your barbecue, so I'll treat you to some wine."

Ye Fan shook his head, and suddenly saw that there were only four fingers left on his right hand holding the wine gourd, and one of the index fingers was broken off. He was shocked and thought of a famous figure in the world of Condor Heroes. He thought to himself: "Could it be that I am so lucky today that I met this senior master?"

So he asked directly: "Senior, are you the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar Hong Qigong?"

The old beggar laughed loudly and said, "My name is Hong Qigong, but I am not worthy of being called the Divine Beggar. Boy, you are quite knowledgeable. You can actually guess my identity."

Ye Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Yang Guo to bow and salute, saying: "Junior greets Senior Hong. It is a great honor to meet you today."

"No need to be polite." Hong Qigong waved his hand. He glanced at the five people who were lying on the ground and asked with a smile, "How did you offend these five ugly men?"

Ye Fan looked at Yang Guo. He had no idea how this disciple had started fighting with the other party.

Yang Guo said with a smile: “I just finished roasting the game, and these guys came over to grab it. Of course I didn’t want to, so I started fighting with them.”

Hong Qigong nodded, stroked his beard and smiled, "So that's how it is. These five ugly men from Chuanbian killed innocent people and killed many good people. Today they have learned a lesson."

He paused, then looked at Ye Fan and Yang Guo, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "You two kids have pretty good kung fu. You can actually beat the five ugly men of Chuanbian like this by fighting two against five. Who is your master?"

Yang Guo chuckled, scratched his head, and pointed at Ye Fan, "My master took care of them all by himself."

Hong Qigong looked at Ye Fan and nodded slightly, "You are not bad, you can defeat the five ugly men at such a young age. Who is your master?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "My master has passed away a long time ago, and my martial arts were all taught by my senior sister Xiao Longnu."

Hong Qigong frowned and thought for a while, thinking: "Little Dragon Girl? I have never heard of such a person in the martial arts world! Could it be that I haven't been back to the Central Plains for more than ten years, and a new martial arts star suddenly appeared?"

Then he asked again: "Which sect do you belong to?"

Ye Fan answered truthfully: "Zhongnan Mountain Ancient Tomb Sect."

Hong Qigong was even more confused. "Isn't Mount Zhongnan the territory of the Quanzhen Sect? How could those Taoists tolerate you establishing a sect?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "The founder of our Ancient Tomb Sect, Lin Chaoying, has some connection with the founder of Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang."

"What! You are actually the descendants of Senior Sister Lin?" Hong Qigong no longer had the indifferent look he had just had. He jumped up excitedly and grabbed Ye Fan's arm.

Then, he looked at Ye Fan, his eyes full of love, "Child, do you know that I have some connection with your ancestor grandmother."

Ye Fan was startled and asked in surprise: "I wonder what is the relationship between the old senior and my ancestor grandmother?"

Hong Qigong smiled and asked instead of answering, "Do you know who your ancestor's grandmother's master is?"

Yang Guo shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Ye Fan suddenly said: "The great-grandmaster is Xu Zhuzi."

Hong Qigong looked at Ye Fan in astonishment, "Do you know Master Xu Zhu?"

Ye Fan nodded, "I saw the letter that Grandma Ancestor wrote to Grandmaster Xu Zhuzi at Chixia Manor in the Western Regions."

"That's right! No wonder you know Master Xu Zhuzi at such a young age!" Hong Qigong's eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence, and he said slowly:

“Back when I was not yet the leader of the Beggars’ Sect, I was captured by the Jurchens and became their slave. It was your grandmaster, Sister Lin, who rescued me.

Later, I became the leader of the Beggars' Sect. According to the agreement between the Beggars' Sect and Master Xu Zhuzi, I went to Chixia Manor to learn the Beggars' Sect's unique martial art, "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing". During this time, I was taken care of by Senior Sister Lin.

Later, I returned from my studies and led the Beggars' Sect to fight against the Jin soldiers, and gradually lost contact with Senior Sister Lin. "

Yang Guo interrupted and said, “So, Senior Hong is my master’s great uncle!”

Hong Qigong laughed out loud, "Good boy, you have a sweet mouth!"

Then, he patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and said, "Since you are the descendant of Senior Sister Lin, you are my descendant. If you encounter difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me, the old beggar, for help."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "Thank you very much, Uncle Master!"

Hong Qigong nodded, "Okay, I haven't been to the Central Plains for more than ten years. I don't know how many people in the martial arts world still remember me, the old beggar. This time I came back to get rid of the five ugly men from Chuanbian. Since you have defeated them, let me ask them what their purpose is in coming to the Central Plains."

It turns out that Hong Qigong was a glutton by nature. He once cut off his right index finger due to his gluttony, so he was also called the "Nine-Fingered Beggar".

But he could never change his gluttonous nature.

After he passed the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect to Huang Rong, he traveled around the world alone, looking for exotic delicacies.

Guangdong is located in the subtropics, with a warm and humid climate and a wide variety of rare ingredients.

After Hong Qigong came to Lingnan, he felt like he was in a food paradise. He could taste a variety of delicious dishes every day and never got tired of it.

More than ten years have passed, and he has never returned to the Central Plains.

During this period, whenever he encountered unfair things, Hong Qigong always secretly helped, helped the poor and the needy, and eradicated the evil forces. Hong Qigong walked towards the Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian and asked gloomily, "Tell me, what are you doing in the Central Plains? Why did you rob the food of these two children?" The Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian looked at him in horror and stammered to tell him what happened. It turned out that they were instructed by King Jinlun to come to inquire about the situation in Xiangyang City.

Not long ago, the second of the Five Ugly Men of Kawabe acted recklessly in Guangdong and killed many innocent martial artists.

Hong Qigong has always hated evil and had planned to get rid of this evil man easily, but considering that it was easy to kill the two ugly men, it would be difficult to find the other four.

So, he decided to follow Erchou secretly, waiting for the five of them to gather together and then destroy them in one fell swoop.

However, unexpectedly, the pursuit extended from the south to the north, spanning thousands of miles, and finally reached the Huashan area.
