Northern Beggar Hong Qigong
After Lisheng and Yue Xing left, Guo Jing and Yun Feng continued their journey in the martial world. During the fight with the leader of the Green Dragon Gang, Guo Jing and Yun Feng realized that although their martial arts were barely sufficient, they were seriously lacking in experience. If they met a veteran who had been in the martial world for many years, it would be very difficult for Guo Jing to defeat him if the other party's strength was not much weaker than Guo Jing's.
These weren't things that could be learned from practicing moves with the Seven Monsters. After all, the Seven Monsters wouldn't hurt Guo Jing, so he didn't have to worry about fighting. Moreover, Guo Jing knew the Seven Monsters 'martial arts very well. It was like a set of moves. Guo Jing was very familiar with when to use the moves. However, the opponents he would encounter in the future would not be people he was familiar with. He might encounter any strange moves and weapons. Therefore, how to use his moves and when to use them would depend on Guo Jing's grasp.
The strange thing was that Guo Jing had to practice dozens of times to master the essence of the moves, but after fighting with the leader, his understanding of the moves had improved by leaps and bounds. It seemed that Guo Jing belonged to the type of actual combat, and only in actual combat would he improve.
Lin 'an seemed to be temporarily unable to go back. Guo Jing and Yun Feng discussed it and decided to take a detour to Jiaxing to visit the Seven Monsters. The ancients respected their teachers and respected the Tao, which was the first priority for behavior, especially Guo Jing, who was a stubborn person. Moreover, the Seven Devils had spent a lot of effort on Guo Jing's home in Niu Family Village. They had invested a lot of money from the Mongolian grasslands. Before the construction period was completed, they had hurried back to Jiaxing. They had to return the favor and see how the Seven Devils were doing.
These few days, Guo Jing and Yun Feng had been practicing martial arts while hurrying on their way. Occasionally, they would encounter robbers and casually send them off. If they were bandits who killed and robbed, they would break their limbs mercilessly and let them fend for themselves. If they were forced to become robbers, they would be dealt with according to the situation. The farmers who robbed the bandits with sickles because they were poor gave them the money they took from the bandits. If it was someone who slowly became a bandit, he would break one of his hands.
It wasn't too far from Lin 'an to Jiaxing, but along the way, Yun Feng and the others encountered four or five waves of robberies. Some robbed them, and some saw others being robbed when they passed by. It seemed that the corruption of the Song Dynasty was beyond redemption. The officials were greedy and the people were resentful. No wonder those bandits like Song Jiang, who did not benefit the country and the people, were praised by the people and hailed as heroes. While Guo Jing went to deal with the robbers, Yun Feng was bored and imaginative.
There weren't many robbers this time. They were just some farmers who had nowhere to go. They saw a beautiful carriage passing by on the mountain road without any guards, so they wanted to rob it together. After being dismissed by Guo Jing with a few moves, they were about to leave when they were caught by the old man in the carriage. They began to thank him, ask for his name, and set up a longevity token. As usual, Guo Jing refused, didn't dare to, and didn't leave his name. Guo Jing, who respected the old and loved the young, had never thought of the chivalrous demeanor of " brushing off your clothes and hiding deep in your name ". He only knew that this old gentleman's politeness made him very uncomfortable, and it was very impolite to refuse or ignore an old gentleman's question.
After he finally got rid of the old man, Guo Jing hurriedly ran forward as if a ghost was chasing him. However, Yun Feng asked Guo Jing to hunt a pheasant and make a dish called "beggar's chicken". Seeing that it was almost noon, and it would take him two to four hours to walk to the nearest town, he could only eat some food here to fill his stomach. Guo Jing was originally prepared to eat some dry food, but at Yun Feng's request, he still went to hunt a pheasant and pick some mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Guo Jing didn't know how to do it specifically. He asked Yun Feng, and he only knew how to stuff some ingredients into the stomach of the washed chicken, then wrap the chicken eggs with lotus leaves, paste a layer of mud on the outside, dig a hole, and roast them on top of the hole. Guo Jing also sprinkled almost a quarter of the seasoning called cumin that was not much in the bag according to Yun Feng's request.
Why did Yun Feng suddenly want Guo Jing to be beggar's chicken? It turned out that while Guo Jing was still arguing with the old man who was saved, Yun Feng noticed a situation. He could vaguely see a figure in the distance, but it didn't look like a passerby. If he was passing by, he wouldn't just stand there without moving. His face was even facing Guo Jing.
Guo Jing had not debuted for long, so he would not have any old friends or the like. Then it might be the trouble that Lin 'an caused. Yun Feng was worried that it was someone from the Green Dragon Gang. Since they had discovered it, it was easy to deal with. It was difficult to guard in the dark. If it was in the open, there would only be one stalker. If they could beat him, they would take him down. If they could not beat him, they would escape. However, before that, he had to explore first.
Therefore, Yun Feng circulated his internal energy and approached the stalker. When he was about to reach him, he realized that the stalker was frowning slightly and looking at Yun Feng with confusion in his eyes. Yun Feng suddenly stopped and shouted in his heart," Could it be that this person can see me?'When Yun Feng stopped using his internal energy, the guard on the man's face lessened. However, he was still frowning, as if he didn't understand something. Yun Feng relied on his ghostly body to slowly approach the person. When he realized that the person's eyes were not looking at him, he was relieved.
'But what happened just now?'Looking at this middle-aged man who was unmoved but secretly on guard and emitting an astonishing aura, Yun Feng felt very strange. His aura was stronger than anyone Yun Feng had ever seen. The Seven Devils, Lisheng, and the leader of the Green Dragon Gang were like a small rock compared to him.‘Looks like he's a top-notch expert! Yunfeng thought to himself.
That person had a rectangular face and a short beard under his chin. He was wearing an ordinary martial artist's clothes, but it was filled with a few large patches. His clothes were washed quite clean and were a little white. He carried a large gourd on his back, which had been polished until it was shiny. He held a delicate green bamboo cane in his hand. At first glance, it looked like it was made of jade. It did not match his clothes and looked out of place. It was as if he had stolen something from a rich man and was showing it off in his hand. His palm was thick, his veins were bulging, and his fingers were strong. However, his right hand that was holding the bamboo cane was missing a finger.
Patches, calabashes, bamboo sticks, four fingers…Yun Feng still didn't know who this person was, but he should have found a piece of tofu to hit his head with. 'Nine-fingered Godly Beggar,' one of the Five Uniques in the world, the leader of Beggar's Sect, the most upright Hong Qigong, why was he here? No wonder Yun Feng was discovered when he approached him just now. It seemed that the name of the Five Uniques was not for show. Although Yun Feng did not have a body and he could not see, Hong Qigong could still sense him when he activated his internal energy. Originally, Yun Feng had wanted to take the opportunity to give Ouyang Feng, the toad from Western Poison, a heavy blow in the future. It seemed that this plan had failed.
However, Yun Feng couldn't understand why he was following Guo Jing. Guo Jing was unknown, and he didn't do anything big that required the famous Gang Leader Hong to track him down. Could it be that after Guo Jing's stupidity, Gang Master Hong, who had a sensitive nose, heard about it and was overwhelmed by his stupidity, rushing over to take in disciples?
Yun Feng scratched his head. He didn't care anymore. Hong Qigong wouldn't harm Guo Jing anyway, so he just let him be. What he had to consider now was how to eat the fat meat that had come to his doorstep, or even make him leave more fat meat!
Therefore, Yun Feng, who understood Hong Qigong's love for food, asked Guo Jing to make this beggar's chicken. Ordinary beggar's chicken would not attract a glutton like Hong Qigong. Fortunately, Guo Jing had a bag of cumin in his bag. He had bought it from some traveling merchants when he was still in the grasslands to remove the smell of sheep. He had kept a large portion of it in Niu Family Village. Now, he had brought a small bag, but it was enough! Unlike in the later generations, cumin was not something that could be bought everywhere. Most people in the Central Plains had never tasted this spice that could only be found in Xinjiang in the Celestial Empire. Even an old glutton like Hong Qigong might not have tasted it. It was even better if he had tasted it. The unique taste must have made Hong Qigong even more nostalgic.
After a while, when it was about cooked, Guo Jing dug out the mud and crushed it. When he opened the lotus leaf, a fragrance spread out in all directions. The unique smell of cumin drifted far away. Hong Qigong, who was already eager to get close to Guo Jing, couldn't help but jump down from the tree and shout,""Give me half of it and leave the chicken butt behind!”After saying that, he stared at the beggar's chicken in Guo Jing's hand without blinking.
Guo Jing was shocked. Although this person who suddenly appeared was rude, he, who was open-minded and hospitable by nature, did not fuss about it. He tore a large half of it and gave it to Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong didn't stand on ceremony and finished the chicken in one gulp. He even licked the chicken bones reluctantly. Seeing Hong Qigong eating happily, Guo Jing, who had been living with Mongolians for a long time and had also accepted the hospitality habit, was even happier than when he ate the entire beggar's chicken. Therefore, he handed the unfinished drumstick to Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong did not stand on ceremony and snatched it over and took a big bite.
After finishing the chicken, Hong Qigong laughed loudly. He took off the gourd on his back and took a sip of wine. Then, he handed the gourd to Guo Jing and gestured for him to drink. After Guo Jing drank, he said to Guo Jing,""Your child is not bad. Hehe, he fits the temperament of an old beggar. My surname is Hua Hong, and I'm ranked seventh. You can call me Duke Qi!”When Yun Feng heard this, it was indeed Bei Beggar. Guo Jing didn't know his name, but he still respectfully called him Duke Qi and said his name was Guo Jing and he was a disciple of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters.
Hong Qigong said,"The old beggar is the leader of all the beggars in the world. I met Lisheng a few days ago and knew that you helped him a lot. However, the old beggar was a little worried, so he followed you for a few days and found that you had a good personality, which made me feel very relieved.”
It turned out that the rescue incident involved a lot of people. As the leader of a gang, Hong Qigong could not do things as casually as Lisheng and had to consider all aspects. Especially since Wen Tianxiang was involved in this incident. Although Shi Miyuan was well aware of it, he couldn't do anything to him without concrete evidence. However, if Guo Jing took the lead, then Wen Tianxiang would be in trouble. Privately contacting Jianghu people was a capital offense. Therefore, he wanted to test Guo Jing's character and see if he was trustworthy.
Although he knew that the other party was following him and that this contact with him was also a test, Guo Jing was not angry. He only smiled at Hong Qigong and said,"Thank you for your praise, Duke Qi. Jing 'er only did what he was supposed to do.”
Hong Qigong had seen countless people, so how could he not see that Guo Jing was not trying to curry favor with him? What he said just now was from his heart, and his evaluation of Guo Jing increased even more.
