Chapter 381 The Eight Friends of Hangu!

When the thirty or so people from the Deaf-Mute Sect saw Su Xinghe kneeling, they also knelt down together.

Xin Zhen helped Su Xinghe up and said with a smile: "You are my senior brother, I cannot accept such a gift."

Su Xinghe smiled and said, "You are the headmaster, you should accept this gift."

Xin Zhen looked at the Eight Friends of Hangu and said, "Big Brother, since Ding Chunqiu has been executed... Oh, Master may not kill him. Since he is no longer a threat, you should accept these disciples as your disciples. They are quite pitiful."

Upon hearing this, the Eight Friends of Hangu were overjoyed and looked at Su Xinghe hopefully. Su Xinghe turned to look at the Eight Friends of Hangu and scolded them, "Get up, everyone. Since the leader has said so, why do you still have to kneel?"

The Eight Friends of Hangu were immediately overjoyed and kowtowed to Xin Zhen several times before standing up.

Xin Zhen asked Su Xinghe, "Are all the disciples of the Deaf-Mute Sect deaf-mute?"

Su Xinghe smiled and said, "No, they were all healthy originally, but I was afraid that Ding Chunqiu would harm them, so I pierced their ears and tongues with silver needles, turning them into real deaf-mutes. However, their tongues and eardrums are fine. I will start to treat them now, and they will be fully recovered in ten days or half a month."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's great."

At this time, Ding Chunqiu's voice begging for mercy was heard from inside: "Master, don't!" Then there was a scream and then no sound.

The Eight Friends of Hangu cried out for joy. They had been persecuted so badly by Ding Chunqiu over the years.

Su Xinghe was forced to expel them from the sect, but Ding Chunqiu did not let them go and kept causing trouble for them. They had no choice but to hide everywhere, and they could only meet once every two years. Their martial arts training was completely delayed.

How could they not be happy when Ding Chunqiu was executed?

Not to mention them, even Su Xinghe had tears in his eyes. He had a hard time these years. Although he was known as Mr. Smart and Debatable, he dared not listen and did not dare to speak.

He had driven his disciples out for decades, and he felt very sad watching them wandering around in the world.

Even the deaf-mutes opened their mouths wide and started crying. Suddenly, the whole Deaf and Dumb Valley was filled with gloom and sorrow.

At this time, a voice came from inside the wooden house: "Xin Zhen, Xinghe, come in."

Xin Zhen glanced around and saw the ropes scattered on one side, so he picked up one and went into the wooden house with Su Xinghe.

When he entered the wooden house, he saw Ding Chunqiu's head tilted to one side, with blood oozing from his mouth, nose and ears. He must have been killed by Wuyazi's palm on the top of his head, but he could not have died any more.

Wuyazi was hanging on the rope in a daze, thinking that his great revenge had been achieved, and for a moment he could not control himself.

Su Xinghe stood aside with his hands hanging down, but Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Brother, come, let's carry Master out to get some sun..." Thinking that it was already dark and there was no sun, he changed the topic and said, "... go out and get some fresh air."

Su Xinghe cried out, and Wuyazi came back to his senses and said, "Forget it, I don't want to see anyone."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Kang Guangling and others have been expelled from Xiaoyao Sect for decades. They are all thinking about you. Why don't you go meet them?"

After Xin Zhen said this, Wuyazi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Su Xinghe was a little surprised, thinking that his master was really good to his junior brother. He had been a disciple for decades, but he had never seen his master listen to advice like this.

The two men carried Wuyazi out of the wooden house. At that time, the moonlight was like mercury leaking onto the ground, illuminating the entire sky, earth, and valley.

Wuyazi watched for a long while before looking at the inexplicably excited Eight Friends of Hangu and said with a smile: "The little kids have all grown up."

Xue Muhua smiled bitterly and said, "Grandmaster, we are not grown up, we are old!"

Wuyazi smiled and said, "What do you mean old? Our Xiaoyao Sect's mental method has the power to prolong life. If you return to the Xiaoyao Sect, your master will teach you. You can easily live to a hundred years old, and you still have another sixty or seventy years to live!"

When Wuyazi said this, the Eight Friends of Hangu all laughed.

Su Xinghe said: "Master, since Ding Chunqiu has been eliminated, Master, are we going back to Xingxiu Sea?"

Wuyazi shook his head and said, "My master's time has come. Why should I return to Xingxiu Sea? Besides, I have to listen to the master's orders about where to go next."

Everyone looked at Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master, I live in Gusu. Jiangnan is a good place, especially for people who want to live there. Master, please come with me to live in Gusu."

Wuyazi smiled and nodded, "Okay, the last time I went to Gusu was about sixty or seventy years ago, it would be nice to go and take a look."

Xin Zhen looked at Su Xinghe and said, "Big Brother, you two should come with us. Please help me. The Murong family has withdrawn from Pingjiang Prefecture. There are many things to deal with next. I can't handle it alone."

Wuyazi asked a few questions after hearing this, and Xin Zhen told him what happened. Wuyazi immediately said, "Let's all go." Then Wuyazi exchanged a glance with Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Big Brother, you should accept the disciples of your Deaf and Mute Sect into the Xiaoyao Sect. As long as they can learn the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, you can teach them all."

Su Xinghe was overjoyed. He naturally wanted to take back the Eight Friends of Hangu, but he had no such extravagant hope for the Deaf and Mute Sect. He didn't expect Xin Zhen to say it first.

Su Xinghe thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

Su Xinghe made a gesture to the thirty-odd disciples of the Deaf-Mute Sect, and they were overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed to Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen waved his sleeves, and the thirty-odd people stood up involuntarily, which shocked everyone present.

Wuyazi was fine, as he had already tested Xin Zhen's internal strength, but Su Xinghe, the Eight Friends of Hangu and the more than 30 people were feeling Xin Zhen's internal strength for the first time, and they were inevitably shocked.

This time, the more than 30 deaf-mute people looked at Xin Zhen with not only respect but also fear in their eyes.

It is not too late.

Hearing that there were important matters to be attended to in Gusu, Su Xinghe and the Eight Friends of Hangu all wanted to show off, and they were very quick and efficient, immediately arranging matters such as the carriage.

Xin Zhen could see that although the Xiaoyao Sect members were not very serious about learning martial arts, they were first-rate swordsmen when it came to doing things. Not to mention the Eight Friends of Hangu, who had made top achievements in their respective fields, let's talk about these more than 30 deaf-mute people. Although each of them was deaf and dumb, they were extremely capable when it came to doing things.

Su Xinghe just gave an order, and more than 30 people immediately split up to act. Some prepared the carriage, some prepared food for the road, and some quickly packed up the things they needed to take with them from the sect. In the end, they filled several large carts with things, and all this took only two hours. By noon, the group was ready to set off.

Xin Zhen looked at Su Xinghe in surprise, but Su Xinghe was somewhat complacent and said, "My martial arts skills are average, but I have a set of other skills. The disciples I have trained must have a skill.

Guangling and his people have different hobbies, and the situations back then were also different, so they are also promising in their own hobbies.

However, the situation is different when we accept these disciples. The main purpose is to let them serve the master. We travel around all year round, so they have to be good at handling worldly affairs.

Therefore, although they are deaf and dumb, there are not many people who can match them in handling worldly affairs.

On the way, I unsealed their ears and tongues, and they will soon become normal people. With the help of their ears and tongues, their abilities will be further enhanced!"

Xin Zhen was delighted when he heard this: "That's great. I want to take over Gusu, and I need people who can do things. Brother, you have helped me a lot."

Su Xinghe patted Xin Zhen's arm and said with emotion: "Brother, please don't be polite. You avenged Master, saved me, Guangling and the others, and more than 30 people from the Deaf and Mute Sect. Even if you are not the head of the sect, we should thank you for saving our lives. What's more, you are the head of the sect, so naturally we will fight wherever you point us. There is nothing to say."

At this time, Xue Muhua bowed to Xin Zhen with a guilty look on his face and said, "Master, I was ignorant of the depth of the situation before and actually offended you. Please punish me."

Su Xinghe asked: "What's going on?"

Xue Muhua quickly told Su Xinghe about the matter of Juxian Manor, and Su Xinghe was also angry and said, "What nonsense! What can those rabble do? How can we rely on them to deal with Ding Chunqiu?"

Xue Muhua nodded in agreement.

Su Xinghe cursed for a while, then said, "Hurry up and kneel down to confess your guilt to the headmaster!"

Xue Muhua knelt down quickly, but was lifted up by a gust of wind. Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's a different time now. We had nothing to do with each other at that time, and there's nothing to resent. But Muhua, I'll have to rely on your medical skills in the future."

Xue Muhua said quickly: "Uncle Master, if you need Muhua, I will do my utmost to help you."

But he was a little puzzled and asked: "Uncle Master, you want to subdue the forces of Pingjiang Prefecture, do you need my medical skills? Oh, are you afraid that someone will get hurt during the fight?
Yes, Uncle Master, don't worry, Mu Hua will never let anyone die. As long as he is still breathing when he is brought to me, I will definitely bring him back to life!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master and Senior Brother are all here, I will tell everyone about my situation and plans..."

Xin Zhen talked about his so-called hidden sect's origin, and the fact that he had nearly a hundred disciples. He also mentioned that his sister was abducted and sold, and therefore wanted to control Pingjiang Prefecture.

"... In addition, since I am now the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, I must consider the Xiaoyao Sect. Once we replace the Murong family's influence in Pingjiang Prefecture, we must convert this influence into actual benefits.

The development and growth of the sect requires money, so we need the help of all of you fellow disciples.

I hope that my fellow disciples can use their abilities in their professional fields to lead an industry, and transform this ability into a steady stream of funds to strengthen their sect.

For example, if Mu Hua is good at medicine, then he can open large clinics in various cities in Pingjiang Prefecture.

Guangling is good at music and can open music training classes, concert hall performances, etc.

Bailing is good at chess, and he can also open training classes, chess halls and the like.

The skills of my fellow apprentices can all be transformed into economic benefits, and they can also show their talents.

I hope that in the future, the things you are good at and interested in can not only entertain yourselves, but also allow more people to participate in them. This is the most meaningful thing, and making money is just a byproduct. "

The Eight Friends of Hangu looked at each other.

Seeing his disciples like this, Su Xinghe could not help but understand what they were thinking. Perhaps they were still proud of being noble and were unwilling to do these things for the sake of money.

Su Xinghe scolded: "What's so difficult about this? Your master is right, getting more people involved is the most meaningful thing.

Even if you use this thing to make money, what does it matter? I taught you these things so that you would have a skill to make a living. There's nothing noble about it.

Even if it's a bit noble, so what? Your uncle is the head of the sect and our savior, so we should obey his orders.

If you feel constrained, you can open these medical clinics, chess halls, etc., teach some apprentices, and let the apprentices take over and manage them, then you can get out of this situation, right?"

After hearing Su Xinghe's scolding, the Eight Friends of Hangu were terrified and quickly agreed.

Xue Muhua has been practicing medicine for many years and has a lot of contact with people. He is open-minded and said with a smile: "I have taught some disciples over the years. When the time comes, I will call them over and open a large medical clinic. They are also capable of being independent. I only need to manage them a little bit."

After hearing Xue Muhua's words, the others' eyes also lit up.

Kang Guangling laughed and said, "That's easy. Although I have been hiding here and there for the past 20 to 30 years, I have never given up playing the piano. Sometimes I have to teach students to make a living. Over the past 20 to 30 years, the students of my students have also become famous."

The others also laughed. They were no exception. They had been driven out of the sect for thirty years. Who among them did not make a living by doing idle things?
Over the past thirty years, they have become bona fide big names in their respective fields. Many people may not know Su Xinghe, but they may have heard of the name of one of the Eight Friends of Hangu.

For example, Xue Muhua, who in the underworld doesn’t know the name of Yan Wangdi?
Take Kang Guangling for example. Which musician doesn’t know this music festival’s founder?

Let’s not talk about the rest of the painters, chess players and so on for now. Even Feng Asan, a commoner, studied civil engineering. Outsiders may not know him, but in the construction industry, who doesn’t know that Master Feng’s civil engineering skills are almost perfect?
These people are top names in their respective industries, and naturally they are surrounded by a large number of industry elites.

At this time, the seventh sister, the flower-crazy Shi Qinglu, smiled and said, "Uncle Master, you have to find me a good piece of land. I will move the flower garden there. Jiangnan is indeed a good place to grow flowers. When the time comes, I want to have all the flowers I cultivate in the Jiangnan gardens."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's simple. I'll find you a piece of fertile land and build you a big farm."

Shi Qinglu smiled and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about me. To build the manor, I will naturally ask my sixth brother to help. As for the money, I have earned some money over the years.

Uncle, our sect needs to develop vigorously now. My ability is limited, so I will donate 20,000 taels to the sect."
