[Comprehensive] Host, welcome

After sending Xiao Ziqi, Zhou Zhiruo and others down the mountain, Miejue Shitai did not stay out of the matter, and planned to contribute to the cause of expelling the Tartars.So she continued to hand over the things in the school to Jingxuan, and then took her disciples to Lianhua Villa.

In recent years, Shi Huolong, the head of the beggar gang, has been in poor health, so he had to hand over the affairs of the gang to the elders of the gang, and he took his wife and daughter to Lianhua Villa to recuperate.

In the previous life, Shi Huolong would be beaten to death by Cheng Kun while recuperating from his illness. Then Chen Youliang found a little thief to pretend to be Shi Huolong, and stirred up the gang of beggars into a mess. He profited from the middle.

In this life, she had already killed Cheng Kun in advance, and after the Yitian Dragon Slaying Conference, she also mentioned a few words to Shi Huolong, telling him to be careful about Chen Youliang. I don't know if Shi Huolong listened to her good advice and drove Chen Youliang out .

If Shi Huolong is still killed by Chen Youliang in this life, then she really has to wonder what is in Shi Huolong's head...

When he arrived at Lianhua Villa, Shi Huolong personally greeted him outside the door with his wife, daughter and disciples.

Although Miejue Shitai didn't show it on the surface, he was a little proud in his heart.As one of the six sects in Jianghu, the head of the Beggar Gang personally greeted him, which had never happened before.

Shi Huolong saw Master Miejue from a distance, walked over with the help of his wife, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Juejue, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here and be safe."

Miejue Shitai saw that his face was sallow and his lips were blue, not only did he need Mrs. Shi's support when he walked, but also his forehead was sweating and panting after walking a few steps, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.It seems that Shi Huolong's illness is much more serious than she imagined.With Shi Huolong like this, maybe Cheng Kun didn't need to do it himself, and he himself wouldn't live long.

"Master Shi." Miejue Shitai replied, "I have heard that Master Shi is not feeling well. It's just that the faction is busy with business, so I have no time to come to visit today. Please forgive me."

Shi Huolong laughed a few times, "Master Extermination is polite. Under your leadership in recent years, the Emei Sect has been a leader in fighting against the Tartars, and has saved many people and arranged their lives. A few days ago, you personally Take the disciples to the Bright Peak. With so many busy schedules, it is very rare for the head of Juejue to come to see me."

Miejue Shitai said: "Where is this? The Emei Sect and the Beggar Clan have a long history. We should support each other."

Miejue Shitai met Mrs. Shi and Shi Hongshi under the introduction of Gang Leader Shi, and then turned his attention to the young man standing behind Shi Huolong.

The man looked about 30 years old. Although the clothes he was wearing were full of patches, they were washed clean.The most surprising thing is that he carried eight cloth bags on his back.

Miejue Shitai had a bad premonition in his heart.Apart from Chen Youliang, she really can't think of anyone else who has become the eight-pocket elder of the beggar gang at such a young age.

Shi Huolong followed the eyes of the leader of Juejue, and pulled the young man to introduce him enthusiastically: "This is Chen Youliang, the eight-pocket elder in my gang. Although the head of Juejue looks young, Chen Youliang is both wise and brave, and he is very loyal. , is a rare talent in the gang!"

The leader of Extinction just wanted to say "hehe".It turned out that Shi Huolong's head was filled with fools, she would definitely not be surprised if someone killed him someday.

Thinking back to the past when the gang leaders Hong, Huang, and Yelu were around, the prestige of the beggar gang was in the Jianghu, but in the following decades, the gang leaders were obviously not very good, which made the reputation of the beggar gang not what it used to be.

Miejue Shitai sighed, so the selection of the head must not be sloppy. If you choose a mediocre or almost one, no matter how good the foundation is, it will be ruined.It's a pity that the Emei Sect can't find a good successor now. Zhou Zhiruo is good, but after following Xiao Ziqi, he will definitely not be the head of the Emei Sect again.Miejue Shi felt too much, if she couldn't find a next leader before she died, the Emei Sect would very likely become the second beggar gang.

Chen Youliang bowed and said: "I pay my respects to Master Juejue, I have heard about the demeanor of Master Juejue for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. Youliang is really lucky for three lives."

Miejue Shitai nodded, "Yes", and raised his hand to signal him to get up.

To be honest, Chen Youliang has a simple and honest appearance, and is very humble and obedient when he speaks and acts, which is indeed quite deceptive.If she hadn't known his true face in advance, she might have been bluffed by him together with Shi Huolong.

Entering the Lotus Villa, when there were only Miejue Shitai and Shi Huolong, Miejue Shitai said bluntly: "I remember that during the Yitian Dragon Slaying Conference, Shi's body was still very strong, even if he fought with the enemy for three days and three nights, he would not be able to fight the enemy for three days and three nights." Not a problem. How come it looks like you are panting a few times when you walk?"

Shi Huolong sighed, and said: "To be honest, since five years ago, I gradually felt powerless, because I really didn't have the energy to deal with the affairs of the gang, so I came here to rest. It's a pity that not only has there been no improvement in the past few years. No, my health is getting worse and worse. Recently, I have been thinking whether to choose a new leader to pass on to him. Or wait until I die, the elders of the gang will kill you for the position of leader, beggars But there will be no peace."

Miejue Shitai frowned, and said, "What does the doctor say, what kind of disease is it, and there is no cure at all?"

Shi Huolong said: "I have seen many doctors, and they all said that it is an old disease accumulated over the years, and I can only rest slowly. I have also taken a lot of medicine, but there is no improvement at all."

Miejue Shitai thought for a while, and said, "If Master Shi doesn't mind, let me help you get the pulse?"

Generally, people who practice martial arts will not hand over their veins to others, because this is undoubtedly handing over their own life to others.Not knowing whether he believed in Miejue Shitai's character, or believed that Juejue Shitai would not harm him, Shi Huolong passed his hand over without hesitation.

Miejue Shitai felt the pulse, and as time passed, her brows gradually wrinkled.

Shi Huolong was originally in a good mood, but now he started to jump up in fear and asked, "Master Extinction, is there something wrong with my body?"

Miejue Shitai withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not wrong, Shi Bangzhu is not sick, but poisoned!"

"What!?" Shi Huolong's face changed drastically, "Poisoned!?"

Miejue Shitai said again in a low voice: "Please keep your voice down, Master Shi, and don't let that villain listen to you."

Seeing this, Shi Huolong quickly lowered his voice, and asked fearfully: "The meaning of the head of extermination is..."

Miejue Shitai nodded, and said: "What Clan Master Shi is targeting is a kind of chronic poison. It must be someone close to you who can poison you for such a long time. Mrs. Shi and Ling Qianjin can rule out the suspicion, but The beggar gang disciples in this villa have to make people suspicious."

Don't look at the seriousness of Miejue Shitai's words, in fact, all these words are her nonsense, including Shi Huolong's poisoning.

Miejue Shitai put Shi Huolong's weakening body with Chen Youliang, and the first thing that came to mind was poisoning.Although Chen Youliang originally joined the Beggar Gang under Cheng Kun's instructions, Chen Youliang himself is very ambitious and treacherous. Even if Cheng Kun dies, he certainly does not want to give up his original plan to dominate the world.It's just that Cheng Kun died, no one came to kill Shi Huolong, and Chen Youliang's own martial arts were not good enough, so the only way to go was to poison him.

Even if Shi Huolong is really sick now, it doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with Chen Youliang.Let Shi Huolong guard against the people around him and be more vigilant, even if Chen Youliang wants to poison him in the future, he won't find a chance.

"It's not just the disciples under the sect." Shi Huolong squinted his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Even the servants in the villa may be bribed. If they dare to harm me, I will definitely find out this person."

Juejue Shitai raised his eyebrows.Shi Huolong's IQ has suddenly improved a lot, but it's a pity that the scope has expanded so much, I don't know if he can still catch Chen Youliang.In fact, Miejue Shitai really wanted to tell Shi Huolong directly that Chen Youliang had poisoned him, so you just need to catch him.It's a pity that if there is no evidence, it may startle the snake, so Miejue Shitai had to hold back.

Shi Huolong was preoccupied with investigating the person who poisoned him, and Miejue Shitai couldn't explain why she came, so she decided to stay and help him investigate together.But Miejue Shitai put her eyes directly on Chen Youliang, no matter what Chen Youliang did secretly, she could immediately grab his braid.

Sure enough, within ten days, Chen Youliang was captured by Jue Shitai's men and escorted to Shi Huolong.

Shi Huolong's disbelief and distressed face showed how popular Chen Youliang's usual behavior was.

Shi Huolong said angrily: "It's you!? Chen Youliang, I usually treat you well, but you actually hurt me!"

Chen Youliang would not sit still and let others slaughter him. He shouted: "Master, I didn't know it was poison. I thought it could cure your illness. My disciple was also deceived by thieves!"

Chen Youliang saw a trace of hesitation on Shi Huolong's face, and continued: "Guard master, I have been by your side all the time, don't you know me? How can it be possible to harm you, even if there is a knife on the disciple's neck, the disciple can't do such a thing."

Shi Huolong asked, "Who is that thief?"

Seeing that Shi Huolong seemed to believe what he said, Chen Youliang couldn't help being overjoyed, suppressed the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know. When I went down the mountain, I met an old man who was treating a doctor. He looked like a fairy. My disciple I suddenly thought of the doctor who treated Yu Sanxia of Wudang more than ten years ago. The disciple went up to inquire, but he did not expect that it was really him. The disciple thought that Yu Sanxia’s serious injury could be healed, let alone the helper’s. So I asked him for the elixir. Hey, I didn’t expect that person to lie to me. Although I didn’t know it was you, it’s true that I almost killed the leader. I’m ashamed to live in this world, so please ask the leader to Disciple kills, disciple is willing to apologize with death."

What Chen Youliang said was eloquent and emotional, but Shi Huolong was somewhat moved.

Miejue Shitai yelled badly when he saw Shi Huolong's expression was wrong.If she didn't say a few words, Shi Huolong would probably acquit Chen Youliang.

Before Shi Huolong was influenced by Chen Youliang's previous performance, Miejue Shitai hurriedly said: "I think of someone. Dare to ask Master Shi, is there anyone in your gang who is in a high position and born in Shaolin. The master is a disciple of an eminent monk in Shaolin?"

Shi Huolong said: "Shaolin and the Beggars' Clan were originally two sects. How can anyone go to another sect after they have completed their studies? For so many years, there is only Chen Youliang who is in front of the head of Juejue. What does the head of Juejue think of?"

Miejue Shitai said: "I'm ashamed to say that, a few years ago, my Emei Sect also accepted an evil disciple. She wanted to steal the Nine Yin Scriptures, but I caught her on the spot. There was an eminent Shaolin monk beside the evil disciple. Does Gang Leader Shi know who he is?"

Gang Leader Shi shook his head in doubt, but Chen Youliang, who was kneeling on the ground, had cold sweat on his face, and his eyes wandered.

Miejue Shitai said: "That person is Master Kongjian's apprentice Yuanzhen, this person has another name, Cheng Kun who is nicknamed Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand!"

Gang Leader Shi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "It's him!?"
