Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 61, ask for news

The conversation never touched on what He Yuan wanted to know, so he decided to get straight to the point.

"Qin Tuozhu, I want to ask you something. You are in Jingzhao Mansion, have you heard that there is a Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain? Or, are there any Taoist priests with superb martial arts in Zhongnan Mountain?"

"There are quite a few Taoist priests in Zhongnan Mountain. Chongyang Palace—" Qin Yan thought for a while, shook his head and continued: "I have never heard of it. I just heard that there is a Taoist priest named Wang Zaifeng in Zhongnan Mountain Very powerful. However, his residence is very hidden, very few people can see him. There are also people who say that the Taoist priest has passed away, and that they have seen his tomb."

"The tomb is interesting. Wang Zaifeng?" He Yuan felt that this name didn't look like the person he was looking for.But soon, Qin Yan's next words raised his sinking heart again.

"I remembered that there are many Taoist priests living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. Some Taoist priests said that there is a Taoist priest who claims to be Chongyangzi with high martial arts skills. I don't know if it is the one you mentioned."

Um---?He Yuan guessed in his heart that the name should be enough.Hastily asked again: "Does your beggar gang have any news about him?"

"Why are you asking about this?"

He Yuan found a reason: "I've heard of his name and want to visit him."

Qin Yan said: "This person's whereabouts are secretive. I can ask the disciples of the Beggars to inquire about it. There are not many disciples of the Beggars who live in the countryside, so I'm afraid we may not be able to find out. In addition, we recently had an incident with someone. There were some conflicts, many disciples did not dare to disperse, and there was no way to disperse and many brothers inquired about the news. You may need to wait."

"It's okay, I can wait." He Yuan thought to himself, it's good to have a goal.Putting aside his worries, he had the leisure to recollect what Qin Yan said, and savored a little flavor.

"There are so many people in your beggar gang, how can someone conflict with you?"

Qin Yan said: "Everything in the world is for profit. To tell you the truth, our Beggar Clan is divided into the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Clean Clothes Sect. My injuries are related to this."

He Yuan quietly listened to Qin Tuozhu explain the reason of the incident.

The difference between dirty clothes and clean clothes in the beggar gang has become very apparent under the rule of the Kingdom of Jin.The Dirty Clothes faction is a group of poor people hugging together to keep warm.Many people in Jingyi came from wealthy merchants or families with small assets.Jingyi's disciples don't have many contacts in the officialdom, but because of their family's wealth, they practice martial arts for self-protection and then make friends with martial arts people.There are also many people who attempt to seek more benefits from this.

In the north and east of the city, there are many officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Jin.There are many merchants in the west of the city, and there are many poor people in the south of the city. There are many gangs in these two places, mixed with fish and dragons, and most beggar gangs live here.There are many disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect in the south of the city, while there are many Clean Clothes Sects in the west of the city.On the contrary, there are fewer children of the beggar gang outside the city, because there are many gentry and landlords' Wubao outside the city, and it is difficult for refugees and beggars to shelter in them.

Many of the disciples of the Jingyi Sect in the west of the city are merchants.A while ago, there were conflicts with several merchants from the Western Regions.Money touches people's hearts, and the two sides refuse to give in to each other, and the contradictions are getting bigger and bigger.With the participation of people from the rivers and lakes and gangs, the two sides gradually changed from a battle between the original merchants to a battle between the rivers and lakes.Fortunately, both sides were a little afraid of the Jin Guo cavalry, and maintained a semblance of reason.Finally, it is agreed to compete to decide the winner.Afraid of losing money, the disciples of the Clean Clothes Sect informed the brothers of the Dirty Clothes Sect, and Qin Yan agreed.Unexpectedly, among the people invited by the other party to help with the fist, there were actually a few hard hands, and in the end, both sides were injured in the fight, even Qin Tuozhu was injured.

He Yuan asked: "What happened to the final result?"

"We have a lot of injured brothers, and they didn't get any benefits. Everyone can't help each other, so we can only give up for the time being. The merchants have limited power in the officialdom. The people who can be hired by both sides are almost the same, so we can only take a step back. If the fight continues, not to mention that it will attract Jin Guo's attention, it's just that the funeral compensation fee exceeds those profits."

He Yuan immediately said the scene: "Qin Tuozhu, since we know each other, if there is anything that needs help in the future, just ask."

Qin Tuozhu smiled happily: "Thank you, Master He. Now, I will let one of my apprentices contact you. If you have anything to do, you can tell him. This child is not only my apprentice but also a nephew of my village."

Having said that, he yelled outside: "Call Du Xiaobao here."

After a while, a young man walked in the door.He Yuan saw that it was the young beggar who led him the way.

After entering the door, the young man called out: "Master."

Qin Tuozhu said to He Yuan: "Look, his name is Du Xiaobao, and he is my apprentice."

Then he said to the young man: "Du Xiaobao, this master is my friend. From now on, you will go to Shangyang Street to ask for work. If there is any news about this master, he will contact you, remember?"

"remember."

Qin Yan also asked him where and how to meet.

Seeing that the matter was done, He Yuan offered to leave.Qin Ruozhu sent him outside the door and ordered Du Xiaobao to lead the people to send He Yuan all the way.

This young man was doing things very casually, and behind him were several beggars who were younger than him, among them was the young man with poor eyesight.He Yuan chatted with them, walking all the way back.

Seeing such a group of teenagers coming out to beg for work, He Yuan felt a little sympathetic to them, and was willing to chat with them, "Brother Du, I heard from your master that you are still from the same family?"

Du Xiaobao smiled: "Master He, you can't call me that, you are my master's friend."

He Yuan didn't care at all: "Let's talk about things in our own way, and I'm not very old."

Seeing that He Yuan didn't put on airs, Du Xiaobao was better at talking: "Listen to you. Master and I are from the same village, so we can be regarded as the township party."

He Yuan looked at the other six little beggars: "What are the names of these little brothers?"

Several people exchanged names one after another.He Yuan paid special attention to the young man with poor eyesight. His surname was Hua, and everyone had pottery bowls.Because the old beggar he picked up left him a clay bowl.

He Yuan asked curiously: "Are you all disciples of the Beggar Gang? Why, I think only Brother Du Xiaobao has a small bag on his body."

As soon as these words came out, several teenagers became bored, and only Du Xiaobao answered: "There are too many beggars in the world. If you really count as a disciple of the Beggar Gang, you can only count as a small bag, but——" said Here he hesitated for a moment, probably thinking about how to express it: "The Beggar Gang is a gang after all, it is impossible to take in all the beggars, we can only find like-minded people. Other beggars who are cheating and doing bad things, The beggar gang does not accept. Even so, there are still too many beggars, so if you want to join the gang, you need someone to be a guarantee. I was brought into the gang by the master. They can only be regarded as nominal, not official disciples."

"So it is."

"Master He, I heard from outside that you won the competition against Elder Chen and Gu Shangcang from the Clean Clothes School. I saw how they looked when they came out. They are all well-known masters here!" Du Xiaobao quickly Talk about topics you are interested in.

"It's just a martial arts competition, and they are also very good." Being praised by a young man like this, He Yuan couldn't help feeling complacent.
