Hearing the sound, the surrounding Beggar Clan disciples all turned their heads.
Hong Qigong slowly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
When his eyes swept across the carriage and landed on Qu Feiyan and the three girls driving the carriage in front of the carriage, Hong Qigong narrowed his eyes slightly.
A moment later, in the sight of the Beggar Clan disciples, the three girls Qu Feiyan drove a carriage to the side of the Beggar Clan disciples and slowly stopped.
Seeing the carriage parked at the Northern Beggar Clan's side, the disciples of the Southern Beggar Clan couldn't help but have a bit of envy in their eyes.
After Qu Feiyan and the other girls got off the car one after another, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao stepped forward and opened the curtains of the carriage.
Chu Qinghe in the carriage looked at Jiumozhi and said, "We're here, master, get out of the car!"
After listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Jiumozhi glanced at Chu Qinghe.
But he was poisoned, and next to Chu Qinghe was a master at the late stage of the Grand Master Realm.
In the situation of being reduced to fish meat, no matter what Chu Qinghe said at this time, Jiumozhi could only do it.
After taking a gentle breath, Jiumozhi got up and walked out of the carriage with a helpless and aggrieved look on his face.
However, the moment Jiumozhi opened the car curtain and glanced at the Beggar Clan disciples outside, the expression on Jiumozhi's face suddenly changed.
The helplessness that was still on his face a second ago and the timid look when facing Chu Qinghe and the others completely dissipated.
His eyes began to become easy-going, and there was a peaceful smile on his lips.
Coupled with Jiumozhi's own demeanor and the action of clasping his hands together at this time, he gave people the appearance of an enlightened monk.
However, just when Jiumozhi, with his hands clasped together, appeared in the eyes of the Beggar Clan disciples outside with the appearance of an enlightened monk.
When Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao outside the carriage saw that the first person to come out of the carriage was not Chu Qinghe and the others but Jiumozhi, the two women unexpectedly let go of their hands and let the car curtain that had just been opened cover the carriage. When Jiumozhi walked to the door of the carriage, he was blocked tightly.
Jiumozhi: "."
Looking at the carriage curtain in front of him, Jiumozhi couldn't help but freeze the smile on his face.
After taking a deep breath, he maintained the smile on his face again.
Then the zhenqi in his body surged slightly, and after the slow force of the energy lifted the curtain of the carriage in front of him, he walked out with his hands clasped together.
Seeing Jiumozhi's behavior in his eyes, Lianxing couldn't help but murmured: "This monk is quite honorable."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe smiled softly, and then said: "Let's go!"
Outside the carriage, when Jiumozhi stepped down from the carriage, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao stepped forward again and lifted up the curtain.
After a while, he looked at Chu Qinghe and Jellyfish Yinji and the other girls getting off the carriage one after another.
The eyes of everyone in the apricot forest were dull as they moved around the Chu Qing River and the Jellyfish Yin Ji girls around the Chu Qing River.
In the past, whether someone like Chu Qinghe or Jellyfish Yinji appeared, it would be enough to attract people's attention.
What's more, there are so many at the same time.
As a result, all the Beggar Clan disciples in the scene felt dizzy when they glanced at Chu Qinghe and Jellyfish Yinji.
In front of the Bei Beggar Clan, after his eyes swept over Chu Qinghe one after another, Qiao Feng couldn't help but glance at Jiumozhi's side, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Behind Qiao Feng, an elder of the Beggar Clan with an ordinary face and a somewhat sinister and cunning look gave people a glance. After taking a look at Chu Qinghe and the others, he suddenly said: "Quan Guanqing of the Beggar Clan in Xiabei, today I am the beggar." There is a gang conference, who are the young masters?"
However, Chu Qinghe did not respond to what Quan Guanqing said. He lightly fanned the folding fan in his hand and did not even look at Quan Guanqing's body.
He raised his eyes slightly, nodded to Hong Qigong, and then turned his attention to Qiao Feng.
"I have never seen such a grand event like the gathering of beggar gangs from the north and the south. If today's beggar gang meeting does not involve any secrets, if Gang Leader Qiao and Gang Leader Hong don't mind, can the next few people watch?"
However, before Quan Guanqing could speak, Hong Qigong on the side suddenly said: "We are all a bunch of beggars, are we still afraid of being seen? If the young master doesn't mind that he will be smelly, what opinions can the old beggars have?" "
Hearing Hong Qigong's voice, Qiao Feng pondered for a while and then cupped his hands and said: "Today is just a matter of our Beggar Clan's final election of the chief leader, and it is not a secret. Since Mr. Zhao is willing to watch, Qiao Feng will naturally not stop it."
Chu Qinghe said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Hong and Gang Leader Qiao."
Quan Guanqing, who was standing behind Qiao Feng, looked at Chu Qinghe's arrogant look, but his face darkened.
But Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng had already spoken, and from Qiao Feng's words, it was obvious that they knew Chu Qinghe, and Quan Guanqing was not in trouble.
After his eyes swept over Chu Qinghe and the others, he withdrew his eyes.
But his face was still a bit gloomy.
After responding to Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng, Chu Qinghe gestured to the girls and then walked slowly around the apricot forest.
Beside the carriage, looking at Chu Qinghe who was leaving at this time, Jiumozhi wanted to stand still and ignore it, but thinking of the poison in his body, Jiumozhi hesitated and followed Chu Qinghe and the others honestly.
On the Northern Beggar Clan's side, Chu Qinghe's behavior came into their eyes. An elder of the Beggar Clan behind Qiao Feng asked: "Gang leader, do you know this person?"
Qiao Feng nodded slightly and said, "I met him in Xingli Town before. He said he wanted to come to the apricot forest to collect medicine."
One of the elders frowned and said, "Collecting medicine? This reason is a bit weird."
Quan Guanqing snorted coldly: "What kind of medicine can be found in this apricot forest? I think those guys have ulterior motives today."
In response, Qiao Feng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. With me and Old Gang Leader Hong here, I don't think anything will happen."
Seeing that Qiao Feng didn't want to say anything, Quan Guanqing could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe and the others.
Especially when his eyes touched the women beside Chu Qinghe, the look of jealousy and envy in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
This was true even when his eyes fell on Chu Qinghe's handsome face and slender figure.
On the other side, an elder behind Hong Qigong also asked in a low voice: "Gang leader, today we selected the chief gang leader from the North and South Beggar Clan, why did you actively agree to let those few people stay and watch?"
Hong Qigong's zhenqi message said: "I met that monk when I was on the road three days ago. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Grand Master Realm like me. But just now I observed that the monk seemed to be quite fond of that young master. Be afraid, before you figure out your purpose, take a look first!"
Finally, Hong Qigong said: "I'll tell you to go down later, and don't talk nonsense for a while so as not to offend those people."
Hearing what Hong Qigong said, the elder of the Southern Beggar Clan next to him was shocked. He couldn't help but glance at Jiumozhi and Chu Qinghe and quickly responded: "Disciple understands."
After saying that, the disciple of the Southern Beggar Clan walked quickly towards the disciples of the Southern Beggar Clan.
After glancing at Chu Qinghe and the others, Hong Qigong looked at the positions of the Northern Beggars Clan and couldn't help but mutter, "Why do you have a bad feeling?"
Here, after wandering around with a few girls for nearly half a quarter of an hour, Chu Qinghe seemed to notice something and suddenly placed his eyes on an apricot tree three feet away.
Different from other apricot trees, the one in Chu Qinghe's sight was darker in color, darker overall, and even had no branches or leaves on the entire tree.
It looks like it is dead.
And there are still a few fruits hanging on the branches of the apricot tree.
The fruits are all shriveled, but the color is different from the red and black colors of ordinary apricot fruits after they are broken. Instead, they are blood red.
Noticing the apricot tree, Chu Qinghe raised his brows slightly, then slowly walked under the apricot tree with a slight step.
After looking at the apricot tree for a while, Chu Qinghe slowly squatted under the apricot tree.
When he placed his hand on the trunk of the apricot tree near the root of the soil, and when the zhenqi began to circulate vaguely, a three-inch piece of bark was directly cut open by Chu Qinghe's zhenqi.
During the process, Jiumozhi's eyes narrowed when he felt the subtle fluctuations of true energy in Chu Qinghe's body.
"Middle stage of the Grand Master Realm? This guy, as expected, had hidden his cultivation in Guangmingding before."
While his mind was wandering, Jiumozhi continued to look along Chu Qinghe's hand.
When the bark of the tree was peeled off by Chu Qinghe, the girls and Jiumozhi discovered that the trunk of the apricot tree in front of Chu Qinghe was actually hollow.
And under the light, several people could clearly see that there were a few grasses among the almond trees.
It looks like the most common foxtail grass in the countryside, but the difference is that its roots and leaves are yellow and red like apricots, and the top part that looks like a dog's tail is gray and red.
In front of the apricot tree, when looking at the grass in the apricot tree, Lianxing said, "Brother-in-law, why does this grass grow inside this apricot tree?"
Hearing Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe slowly said: "This grass is called Corpse Apricot Bailiancao. If corpses are buried where some apricot trees grow, and the corpses are used as nutrients, over time, something like this may be born inside. .”
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe used his true energy to cut off the corpse apricot Bailian grass and pulled it in front of him.
Something surprising happened.
As Chu Qinghe pulled these corpse apricots and hundreds of refined grasses in front of him, these corpse apricots and hundreds of refined grasses started to turn gray from the roots at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe was not surprised.
Open the elixir bottle that you just took out, and then pour some purple concoction from top to bottom on the ponytails of the two corpse apricots and alchemy grass, then cut them off with true energy, and then take out some more The medicinal powder continued to sprinkle on the ponytail in front of her.
After processing it again, the medicinal powder, which was mixed with some medicine on the spot, was put into a bottle.
After putting the things in his arms, Chu Qinghe stood up and said, "Okay, I've got the medicine, and then I'll just watch the show."
With that said, with Chu Qinghe leading the way, the group returned to the carriage again.
In Chu Qinghe, several people returned to the carriage. After waiting for nearly half a quarter of an hour, an old man with white hair, dressed in brocade clothes and a gold silk crown, who looked sixty or seventy years old, walked slowly to the high platform. superior.
From what the Beggar Clan disciples were talking about around them, the women could also figure out that the old man on the stage was named Xu, and he was the only Nine-Pocket Elder of the Beggar Clan.
After coughing a few times and all the eyes of the Beggar Clan disciples in the Apricot Grove fell on him, the elder named Xu said: "Everyone, since the establishment of the sect, the rules of this sect have been The chief gang leader is selected from the Northern Beggar Clan, representing the Pure Clothes Sect, and the Southern Beggar Clan, representing the Dirty Clothes Sect, to truly lead the Beggar Clan."
"It stands to reason that if you want to become the chief gang leader of this gang and take charge of the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect, you need to enter the realm of heaven and humanity before you can be qualified. However, on the fifteenth of this month, Northern Shaolin will hold a martial arts conference and invite all the members of this gang. The chief gang leader went to attend."
"If the Beggar Gang can get the position of leader of the martial arts alliance this time, they can order the heroes of the Song Dynasty to guard the border and protect our Song Dynasty."
"This matter is of great importance. I, together with all the elders in the gang, as well as Gang Leaders Qiao and Hong, decided to temporarily select an acting chief gang leader from Gang Leaders Qiao and Hong to temporarily oversee the Beggar Clan's Pure Clothes Sect and Dirty Clothes Sect's participation in the North Shaolin Beggar Clan Conference.”
At this point, at the signal of the elder named Xu, an elder from the South Beggars Clan and the North Beggars Clan stood on the high platform holding a wooden box.
The two wooden boxes have the names of Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong respectively.
After the two people stood on the stage, the elder named Xu said: "Everyone here today has the special stationery we distributed before. Now, except for those who are guarding the border or dealing with important matters, today in this apricot forest. The disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect each had one thousand, so they voted based on the number of these two thousand disciples. Whichever gang leader they wanted to vote for put the letter in their hand into one of the wooden boxes, and finally decided based on the number of votes they received. I am the chief gang leader of the Beggar Clan who is temporarily in charge of me."
Subsequently, after a series of instructions, after the two mailboxes on the high platform were placed on the ground and covered with black cloth, the disciples of the Beggar Gang began to come on stage one after another to vote.
During the process, even the women beside Chu Qinghe could not help but secretly guess who among Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong would become the chief leader of the beggar gang.
Only Chu Qinghe still looked lazy.
Half an hour later.
As the last Beggar Clan disciple walked out of the black cloth surrounding the voting box, Elder Xu signaled.
After the black cloth was torn away, the two elders of the Southern Beggar Clan and the Northern Beggar Clan respectively carried the two boxes to the table in front of them, dismantled the wooden boxes in front of them piece by piece, and then counted them in front of everyone. .
A few moments.
After the two of them finished counting, the two elders on the high platform spoke one after another.
"Clan Leader Qiao of the Jingyi Sect, one thousand one hundred and thirty-one votes."
"Leader Hong of the Dirty Clothes Faction got the vote, 869 votes."
After the two data exits, all the disciples in the Northern Beggars Clan cheered.
Even Qiao Feng himself couldn't help but reveal a cheerful smile on his face.
On the other hand, in the Southern Beggar Clan, although some disciples and elders frowned, there was not much strangeness or dissatisfaction.
Even though Hong Qigong was not surprised by this result, he still couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, there's no comparison!"
Regardless of which gang he belongs to, Qiao Feng has reached the late stage of the Grand Master realm at the age of just over thirty. He is not much different from Pang Ban of the Magician Palace and Lang Fanyun of the Nu Jiao Gang, and he is very likely to reach a higher level in the future. After entering the Heavenly Realm, although Hong Qigong had reached the middle stage of the Grand Master Realm and was still titled as one of the Five Ultimate Masters in the Great Song Dynasty, his potential was finally exhausted.
In comparison, it was a matter of course for the disciples of the Beggar Clan to choose Qiao Feng as the new chief leader.
However, just when Qiao Feng was lucky enough to reach the high platform, Quan Guanqing from the Northern Beggar Clan suddenly activated his energy and shouted: "I object, Qiao Feng is not qualified to be the chief leader of my Beggar Clan."
As soon as the sound came out, it spread instantly with the blessing of this true energy.
When everyone present heard this voice, they all looked at Quan Guanqing who spoke in astonishment, with some doubts in their eyes.
If the people who are opposing Qiao Feng now belong to the Dirty Clothes Sect of the Southern Beggar Clan, then no one would be surprised.
But the problem now is that Quan Guanqing, who opposes Qiao Feng's succession as leader of the Beggar Clan, is himself a member of the Jingyi Sect.
It should be noted that once Qiao Feng can become the chief leader of the Beggar Clan, the status of the previous elders of the Northern Beggar Clan will also rise.
Naturally, at this moment, Quan Guanqing suddenly jumped out to oppose Qiao Feng, and his behavior seemed a bit intriguing.
Even Hong Qigong from the Southern Beggar Clan frowned when his eyes fell on Quan Guanqing.
After being stunned for a while, some of the elders in the Northern Beggar Clan glared at Quan Guanqing.
"Quan Guanqing, why do you oppose Gang Leader Qiao? Don't forget, Gang Leader Qiao saved your life three years ago."
"Yes, over the years, Gang Leader Qiao has led us to guard the borders of the Song Dynasty and fight against the Yuan Kingdom. How many of the brothers in the gang are not rescued by the gang leader at his own risk? Why do you object?"
Beside the carriage, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard the words of the Beggar Clan.
If Chu Qinghe was talking about the gap between Murong Fu and Qiao Feng in the restaurant earlier, Wang Yuyan only regarded it as the difference in strength between the two.
But now, listening to the Beggar Clan recounting Qiao Feng's deeds over the years, even Wang Yuyan couldn't help but admire him.
Thinking about Murong Fu's personality and the reaction of his subordinates, Wang Yuyan suddenly understood why Li Qingluo had so much disdain for Murong Fu in the past.
A few breaths later, Qiao Feng, who was on the high platform, suddenly raised his hand.
Noticing Qiao Feng's actions, the elders of the Northern Beggar Clan who had been hurling insults just now quickly stopped talking.
Just looking at Quan Guanqing one by one, they still glared at each other.
But just looking at the behavior of several elders is enough to see Qiao Feng's prestige in the Northern Beggar Clan.
After the others calmed down, Qiao Feng looked at Quan Guanqing and said, "Since Elder Quan is opposed to Qiao Feng becoming the chief gang leader of the Beggar Clan, can you give Qiao Feng a reason?"
Hearing this, Quan Guanqing sneered, and then slowly walked to the high platform.
However, when Quan Guanqing stepped onto the high platform, the elder named Xu who had been presiding over the voting suddenly moved a few steps back to give up his seat.
Taking this scene into his eyes, the jellyfish Yinji next to Chu Qinghe said "Hey", and then said: "The guy named Xu is the same as this person?"
Listening to Jellyfish Yinji's words, Chu Qinghe let out a soft "hmm".
But when his eyes fell on Qiao Feng beside him, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
One moment is heaven, the other is hell. Sometimes I have to sigh, God will always stare at honest people and bully them.
