After passing through the Niu Family Village and walking for a while, they finally arrived at the old residence of the Guo and Yang Families. There was a dilapidated thatched cottage there. What made Li Ping feel strange was that the Yang family's thatched cottage not far away had disappeared.
Li Ping knelt in front of the thatched cottage with tears in her eyes. She muttered,"Brother Xiao, brother Xiao, the child and I are back.”Guo Jing also knelt beside Li Ping and kowtowed loudly. Qu Zhifeng didn't understand what they were doing, but when she saw Li Ping and Guo Jing kneeling there, she giggled and knelt beside them, her eyes darting around. The three monsters sighed.
After feeling sad for a while, Li Ping and Guo Jing began to tidy up the old house. In fact, there was nothing much to tidy up. The turmoil more than ten years ago had destroyed most of their homes, leaving only the west side of the house in relatively good condition. Li Ping and her son only picked up some of their previous expenses as a souvenir. Seeing that no one could stay here, they decided to rest at the inn. After meeting up with Han Baoju and the other three, they would go to Lin 'an to find craftsmen to rebuild their homes. The disappearance of the Yang family's thatched cottage also puzzled everyone, not knowing why.
Three months later, a courtyard with more than ten brick houses was built on the ground of the Guo family's old house. Although Li Ping strongly opposed the construction of such a big house, she reluctantly agreed under Zhu Cong's persuasion. Zhu Cong's reason was that the Seven Devils would occasionally come here to visit their disciple, and there was no place to entertain them. Guo Jing wasn't young anymore, and she was going to get married and have children in a few years, so the place couldn't be too small. Under Yun Feng's reminder, Guo Jing also summoned some servants to take care of Li Ping and Qu Zhixin. Fortunately, they had saved up quite a lot of gold in the grasslands and sold a few leather jackets. After spending all of them, they still had a few hundred taels of silver left. For the time being, they did not have to worry about their future lives.
After the new home was completed and everything was arranged, the Seven Devils returned to Jiaxing. Guo Jing bid farewell to his mother and sister and began his journey in Jianghu.
#####################################
As the most prosperous capital city in the world, Lin 'an, he had only taken a quick look last time. Now that he had the time, he naturally could not let it go. Therefore, Yun Feng suggested that Guo Jing go to Lin' an to have a good tour first. Guo Jing was also a little tempted. However, his master had asked him to come out to train, so he was hesitant and did not dare to relax. Yun Feng said," Where there are people, there will be Jianghu. Otherwise, where do you think Jianghu is? A fixed location? Lin 'an was the capital of the Song Dynasty, so there must be a mix of dragons and snakes. You can definitely experience what Jianghu is there. He was tempted, but he didn't know that Yun Feng was just fooling him.
It was said that the Song Dynasty was the most developed era in ancient times. International trade was indeed very frequent. At a glance, the docks of Lin 'an were covered in thousands of sails. It was a thriving scene. No wonder the current Song Emperor was deceived by Shi Miyuan and thought that the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful. Of course, the Song Emperor's stupidity was also a big factor.
Yun Feng, who was happily looking at the ancient shop, and Guo Jing, who was making a fuss about the blonde hair and blue eyes (Mongolia had not been unified at that time, let alone fighting abroad, so Guo Jing had never seen foreigners), were suddenly attracted by a commotion.
At the chaotic end of the bustling city, an old beggar could be vaguely seen carrying a 12-year-old child as he walked quickly. From time to time, he would flip over the stalls on both sides of the road in an attempt to stop the people behind him from tracking him. Behind him were seven or eight men in dark green clothes with a red cloth tied to their heads. However, they looked rather miserable, and some of them had some vegetables hanging on them. One of the leaders seemed to be quite skilled in martial arts. The obstacles along the way did not hinder him. He held a shiny steel knife and was about to catch up with the old beggar.
The beggar had eight bags on his body. It seemed like he was the Eight Bag Elder of Beggar's Sect. Ordinary beggars would not hang these bags. Now that Beggar's Sect was under the leadership of Hong Qigong, the disciples of Beggar's Sect were basically chivalrous, especially those from the Dirty Robes Sect. It seemed like this old beggar was a good person. However, he did not know why he was being chased and brought a child with him.
Guo Jing didn't know what Beggar's Sect was, and he didn't know if the beggar was pregnant or not.(The Seven Monsters were really bad. They didn't tell Guo Jing about the sects in Jianghu at all.) He saw a group of people chasing an old man and a child. It must be that group of people who were in the wrong. He looked indignant. "Big Brother, I'll go help them!" he said to Yun Feng.”He ran towards the leader.
The old beggar saw that he was being chased and did not run away. He put down the child and protected him behind him, preparing to fight with the person. However, the leader of the other party did not immediately go up to them. He only held his steel knife tightly to prevent the beggar from escaping. He waited for the others to arrive and surrounded the two of them.
When both sides were about to engage in a war of words, they heard a loud shout,"Stop!" A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes ran over. Yun Feng's footsteps faltered when he heard that and he almost fell. Didn't they not make a move yet? Stop what? Fortunately, Guo Jing was not good with words. Otherwise, he would have vomited blood if he had said," The world is clear and the sky is bright."
Both parties looked at this kid who had popped out of nowhere. Just by looking at his appearance, they knew that he was a fledgling. Therefore, the leader spoke,"Kid, the Green Dragon Gang is here to do business. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"”It was indeed the standard words of a scoundrel. They didn't dare to get too close to the crowd, so the remaining audience members disappeared.‘It seemed like the Green Dragon Gang had a powerful background, even though he had never read about it in Elder Jin's books.'Yun Feng stroked his chin and pretended to think.
The old beggar also cupped his hands." Thank you for your bravery, young hero. However, the Green Dragon Gang is very powerful. I don't want you to get into trouble. I understand."”Guo Jing shook his head. He rarely changed his mind. Moreover, newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. How could he leave just like that?
Yun Feng had never heard of the Green Dragon Gang, so he naturally thought that the other party was just a small gang. He also saw that other than the leader, the others only knew some superficial martial arts, so he did not seriously think about it. If the Green Dragon Gang was really so useless, would the old beggar, the dignified Eight Bag Elder Council, be able to clear the market in such a hurry? Then he said to Guo Jing,"Little Jing, take down that talkative leader."”
After Guo Jing heard this, he cupped his hands towards the leader and said,"Please". Then, he took a stance and waited for the leader to respond. Unexpectedly, the leader didn't say anything and directly used " Blade Splitting Mount Hua " to attack Guo Jing, causing Guo Jing to be in a flurry to receive the attack. This was not the sparring session between Guo Jing and his master. It was a life and death battle, so Guo Jing was at a disadvantage from the start and was ambushed by his opponent. Fortunately, Guo Jing had a solid foundation. Although his adaptability was not strong and his experience was not rich enough, he was still able to barely hold on with the Seven Devils 'numerous martial arts.
After fighting for a while, the leader saw that although Guo Jing had many martial arts moves, his power was not strong, so he was relieved. He knew that this silly boy only learned a lot of martial arts but was useless. He stepped up his attack and wanted to take him down as soon as possible.
Yun Feng was anxious, but he could not help Guo Jing. He could only shout out," Little Jing, don't just block the attacks. First, use the Flying Catkin Technique to get away from the opponent's entanglement. Then, use the Great Demon Conqueror's Hand to attack. I don't believe that these two high-tier martial arts can't compare to a small fry!"”
After Guo Jing changed his move, he was indeed much better. He was no longer being beaten. The power of the Great Demon Concealing Hand made the other party not dare to take it head-on and could only dodge. However, Guo Jing's lightness skill was excellent. He followed closely and the situation slowly reversed. The leader muttered in his heart, Where did this silly kid come from? How did he become so powerful in a short while? What bad luck. The Sect Leader was busy and his brothers from the other branches hadn't arrived yet. The great credit that he thought he had obtained was ruined by this silly kid. When they arrived, the credit would be much less. It seemed that they could not keep it all for themselves.'After thinking about it, his hatred for Guo Jing grew even stronger. Based on his experience, he could tell that Guo Jing's internal energy was not deep enough. The energy consumed by unleashing such a powerful palm technique was not something that Guo Jing could withstand at the moment. Guo Jing himself would not be able to withstand it as time went on. Even though Guo Jing possessed two high-tier martial arts, he was not proficient enough in using them. He did not know how to use his martial arts properly to reduce his consumption and increase his efficiency.?
This way, the leader could rely on his experience to dodge Guo Jing's palm strike without making any mistakes and persevere until Guo Jing's energy was exhausted. Guo Jing had defeated the leader before he could get up and consume his energy. Whoever could wear it down would win.
Just as Guo Jing and the leader were in a deadlock, they heard an old laugh."Little brother, leave this person to me.”Guo Jing didn't hold back either. He struck out two palm strikes and then jumped back to make room for the old beggar.
It turned out that the old beggar was not bothered by the leader. He quickly took down seven or eight sect members and stood to the side to watch the battle between Guo Jing and the leader. With his eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see that it would be disadvantageous to Guo Jing if he dragged it out for too long. Moreover, if he dragged it out, it would be difficult to escape when the other party's helpers arrived. Therefore, he spoke up to replace Guo Jing.
The old beggar's kung fu wasn't exactly exquisite, but he was experienced and his moves were reasonable. Yun Feng whispered to Guo Jing," Look carefully at how the old beggar moves. His moves can't compare to your Great Demon Concealing Hand, and his body movements can't compare either. However, the leader is in a worse state than when he fought with you. Look carefully. These experiences will be of great help to you in the future."”Guo Jing nodded, his eyes wide open. The fight just now made him clearly understand why his master kept emphasizing that he lacked experience, and why his master still said that he lacked the mastery even though he had learned all the moves correctly.
The old beggar's last earth-shattering move struck towards the leader. The leader had already used up a lot of internal energy when he fought with Guo Jing, and now he was at the end of his rope. Seeing this powerful move, he couldn't block it in time. He was hit by the old beggar's palm and spat out three liters of blood. He was sent flying dozens of feet away, and he couldn't look alive.
When Guo Jing saw the last move, he looked at the old beggar with great yearning,'So this old senior knows such a powerful move. It looks even more powerful than the Great Demon Subduing Palm! Moreover, his movement technique just now was quite good, but it could not compare to the Flying Catkin Technique. There were indeed many capable people in Jianghu.'
The old beggar laughed and said to Guo Jing,""Little brother, we shouldn't stay here for long. The lackeys of the Green Dragon Gang will be here soon. Although the old beggar isn't afraid, and I don't think your little brother will be afraid either, it will be difficult to protect this child.”With that, he picked up the child and walked away.
After walking straight to a forest outside Lin 'an City, the old beggar put down the child and asked Guo Jing,""The old beggar's name is Lisheng. The people in the martial world give bandits the nickname 'River East Snake King'. Which disciple is it?"
When Yun Feng heard that he was called Lisheng, he knew that the palm he used just now should be the 'Divine Dragon Swings Tail' of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. It was indeed worthy of being known as the number one palm in the world. Unfortunately, only the Sect Leader knew this palm technique and there was no record of it. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient. As long as there was a book, Yun Feng would have a way to obtain it. Now, he could only try his luck and see if Hong Qigong was willing to teach him. Perhaps he had to find Huang Rong first.
Guo Jing hurriedly waved his hand." Senior, there's no need to ask. I'm Guo Jing, my master is the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan."”In the Jiangnan area, the Seven Monsters were quite famous and Lisheng had naturally heard of them before. However, he felt that Guo Jing's palm techniques and lightness skills were not something that the Seven Monsters could teach him. Of course, these were just his suspicions and he didn't ask. "Brother Guo, you don't have to be so polite. If you think highly of the old beggar, just call him Old Li. You don't have to call him senior."”Guo Jing said that he did not dare to until Lisheng pretended to be angry before he called out "Elder Li".
