The main room is the place where guests are received. It is also the largest room in the garden. The furnishings in the main room are very exquisite. There are rows of wooden chairs and coffee tables on both sides of the room. The tea tables are very elegant. There is a large Taishi chair at the end of the main room. There is a large plaque hanging with three shining golden words written on it, Thousand Hands Hall.
There is a confrontation in the courtyard outside the main room. On one side are a dozen disciples of the Senju Gate, and on the other side are eight people. Five people are surrounding two people, one large and one small. There is another person standing in front of the team confronting the Senju Gate disciples.
Zhang Qilu knew five of these eight people, Huang Erniang, a wicked woman who still had some charm, Zhao Da, the middle-aged man with a beard, Tu San, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a hunchback. The old man is the fourth uncle, and there is also a silly, stupid, awesome guy. These five people were clearly the five people in the basement of the Zhaojiacun factory.
The two people surrounded by them were a middle-aged man in his forties, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He wore a patched but very clean gray tunic suit. There was also a man who looked about 1.6 meters tall, with a dirty face whose appearance and age could not be discerned.
Zhang Qilu and others were looking at the people coming at the door of the hall. Xu Qianqian saw that the person at the front who was negotiating with everyone in the door suddenly became a little anxious. She leaned down and said to Zhang Qilu in the wheelchair, "That person is our senior brother Xu Qian." .”
When Zhang Qilu and others heard this, they looked over carefully. Senior brother Xu Qian, who was twenty-four or five years old, still had a standard Thousand-Shoumen tall and thin figure. His appearance was unexpectedly very upright, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a beautiful face. His facial features were clearly defined, and he didn't look like someone who would bully his master and destroy his ancestors.
Zhang Qilu said to Xu Qianqian, "Go and see what they want to do first."
Liu Silong said behind Zhang Qilu
"That person is amazing."
"Who?" Zhang Qilu asked
"The man in the gray tunic suit."
"How awesome?"
"There are six elders in the Beggar Clan, namely the Elder of the Punishment Hall, the Elder of Zhangbo, the Elder of Zhangbang, the Elder of Chuan Gong, the Chief of Orders, and the Chief of Protectors. This person should be one of them."
Zhang Qilu became interested. He has always been very interested in things in the world.
"How can I tell that he is an elder of the Beggar Clan?"
Liu Silong has been with her master Jing Rifei all year round and is quite familiar with things in the world. She also enjoyed Zhang Qilu asking her for advice. She straightened her back and said
"Since you asked me for advice, then I will tell you. Did you see the stick in his hand? That is called the Deer Tendon Snake Stick. It is also called the Golden Cudgel in the world. It is the symbol of the elders of the Beggar Clan. Look at this posture. Several of the flower girls in Zhaojia Town before were probably also members of the beggar family."
Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently, Liu Silong's small breasts expanded even higher at this time and he continued to show off.
"The so-called eyebrow-level stick is a stick, and the chest-level stick is a stick. The stick in his hand has a history. First, prepare a copper stick as thick as your little finger, and then use deer sinew and a kind of rattan called King Kong Vine to pass through the wine. After soaking, steaming, drying and other processes, it is then wrapped around a thin copper rod, and then placed in a special mold to shape. It will take several years and dozens of steps to complete. When the rod is completed, it will be invulnerable to water and fire. One stick goes down Can break gold and stone.”
Zhang Qilu then looked at the deer tendon snake stick in the man's hand. It was about four feet and five inches long, with a twist-like appearance and a purple-red luster. There were two round copper bumps as big as fists on both ends of the stick. It looks a bit like a golden hoop.
The confrontation continued, and the atmosphere became increasingly intense.
"Their Zhangbo elder is in charge of the beggar sect's property just like my master. I have seen before that the two elders Zhangbang and Law Enforcement only care about internal affairs and usually don't come out to take care of external affairs. If the elder Chuan Gong hadn't been involved in the beggar sect, his life and death would be at stake. Big things won't happen, the guy in gray clothes is either the messenger leader or the protector leader."
It turned out that Zhang Qilu had a stronger sense of recognition for Liu Silong. What this girl knew and learned was definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface.
Liu Silong continued, "Look at the two-foot-five-inch-long stick that the little old man with a hunchback holds in his hand is called a stick. Their beggars use sticks to divide their classes."
At this time, Li Xiaoxiao said from the side, "Nonsense, the beggars on TV are the ones hanging bags. The nine-bag disciples are the elders."
"That might have been before." Liu Silong knew that Li Xiaoxiao was obsessed with watching TV series and casually said to her, then continued
"The thing that distinguishes the beggar class now is the stick. After a few years of entry and gaining recognition, the stick elders will give you a short stick of one foot and five inches. The beggar who gets the stick is considered to have truly entered the beggar clan. With certain years and status, he can use it The old man's two-foot-five-inch beating stick will be used when he can control an area, and the head of a province will use a longer flower stick."
Zhang Qilu looked at the yard again, and saw that Zhao Da was using an eyebrow-high stick, while Tu San, Niu Wu, and the evil woman were using short sticks.
"Don't underestimate these sticks. They are serious weapons. They have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. The materials and techniques for making sticks are very particular. New sticks need to be soaked in tung oil, and then they need to be soaked in tung oil. They need to be used and maintained regularly. These are their beggar’s treasures.”
The quarrel in the yard became more and more intense. Zhang Qilu vaguely heard the senior brother shouting to Xu Qianqian to ask the master to come out.
At this time, Senior Brother Zhang came to Zhang Qilu and said respectfully to him, "Little Junior Uncle, Junior Brother asked me to tell you that Senior Brother wants to see our Master, what do you think should be done?"
Zhang Qilu: "Senior Brother Zhang, what else do they want to do?"
Senior Brother Zhang was obviously a little angry. He said angrily, "This Xu Qian failed to live up to his expectations. Master treated him the best in the sect. He just left without stopping him. Now he brings people from the beggar sect to ask us for help." .”
"Who do you want?" Zhang Qilu asked
"Let us hand over the Xiang sisters."
Xu Qian, who was on the court, said at this time, "Junior sister, please let Master come out and speak."
"Master, he's not free right now, so he won't come out. I'll just accept whatever you want." Xu Qianqian responded in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"You? Are you in charge?"
"Just say it."
"We only came here for two things. First, if the master doesn't come out, it's fine. If he wants to just occupy the position of the door master, he can ask him to hand over the [Phantom] in the door. The second is to give him the [Phantom] from the past few days. Hand over the captured girls with the two names and several other children."
"Impossible, it's impossible to give the treasure in the door to you. Don't even think about it if you want those children. They are all abducted children. How can we send sheep into the tiger's mouth after we have rescued them. "
"If that doesn't work, then just follow the rules of the world."
"What kind of rules are there?"
"Then let's have a fight."
