Chapter 43: Eight Ways to Prevent Theft, Flower Thief Tian Boguang

There was a flash of deep doubt in the eyes of several elders.

With their keen eyesight, they definitely wouldn't be wrong.

The attack that Xiaomi had just launched was not only extremely exquisite, but also seemed to have some similarities with the Beggars' Sect's unique martial art, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

As elders of the Beggars' Sect, they all know the Dragon Subduing Palm, but they have not learned it all. Only the successive leaders of the sect can learn the complete version.

What they taught their disciples was an even more incomplete and simplified version, and even Xiaomi knew a few moves.

But the attack just now completely captured the essence of the Dragon Subduing Palm, and seemed to have changed a lot, so much so that several elders were not sure.

What's more, it was Xiaomi who made the move, which made them feel even more incredible.

Everyone knows Xiaomi from Qixia Town. He is a lazy person at ordinary times, and he got his position as a four-bag disciple completely by doing nothing.

When did he become so powerful?

Gong Chang Zhang, the head of the four elders, stood up immediately.

He was the one who taught Xiaomi some of his kung fu skills, and no one knew Xiaomi's poor qualifications better than him.

The current situation is definitely not normal.

Gong Chang Zhang gave a few instructions to the Beggar Gang disciples around him.

At the same time, Xiaomi was standing in the middle of the field, looking at his palm with surprise and joy.

To be honest, although he trusted Li Ming, he never expected that the tricks he learned from Master Li would be so useful!
With one move, he knocked away Elder Xi's new disciple, who had won two battles in a row.

After a moment of silence, the surrounding Beggar Gang disciples burst into cheers.

Xiaomi had never been so popular in the Beggars' Sect before, and he couldn't help but show a bit of pride on his face, and clasped his fists towards everyone around him.

At this time, a beggar walked quickly to Xiaomi, said a few words to him, and took him away from here into the abandoned temple.

The four elders, Congratulations on your prosperity, were no longer in the mood to continue watching the competition. They stood up with different expressions and walked into the room.

The competition continued on the open ground.

The Beggar Gang disciples around also noticed this scene to varying degrees and started discussing it.

"Hey, what is Xiaomi being taken to do?"

"Could it be that a few elders have taken a fancy to him and want to train him individually?"

"Good boy, where did this kid learn this trick? He caught the attention of several elders right away. He is really lucky."

But some people shook their heads.

"Don't think it's too easy. The one Xiaomi just defeated was Elder Xi's new disciple. This may not be a good thing."

"That's right. Who doesn't know what kind of character Elder Xi has? Xiaomi might be guilty of this!"

For a time, there were all kinds of speculations.

But Xiaomi has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention today.

Soon, Xiaomi entered the room and the noise outside was immediately isolated.

Several elders were in front of him, staring at him.

This situation made Xiaomi a little nervous for a while.

Just as he was about to greet the elders, Gong Chang Zhang slapped the armrest of the chair next to him.

"Xiaomi, where did you learn this skill just now? Tell the truth!"

Gong Chang Zhang has always been majestic in the eyes of the Beggar Gang disciples. When he got angry at this moment, Xiaomi trembled with fear.

"I didn't learn it secretly. I spent money to learn it from a martial arts school!"

Then Xiaomi told the story again.

After all, the martial arts school opened its doors for business, so there's nothing wrong with that.

After hearing this, several leaders of the Beggars' Sect were skeptical.

But when he heard the name of Qianming Martial Arts School, his expression changed a little. It was obvious that he had heard about Li Ming's recent deeds.

Gong Chang Zhang's expression eased a little.

"Practice this martial art you have learned for me."

Xiaomi nodded, and immediately stood up to practice the Three Panlong Strikes.

This way, the elders could see more clearly.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that this martial art was indeed derived from the same source as the Dragon Subduing Palm of their Beggars' Sect! The Three Strike of the Coiled Dragon was originally a refinement of the first few moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm, and finally a simplification. There were not many moves, and the essence was retained while being extremely easy to master.

To be able to improve to this point is already extremely extraordinary.

Even several elders were impressed by its ingenious conception.

But then the problem arises. The person who created this martial art must have mastered the Beggar Gang's unique martial art, the Dragon Subduing Palm, and must also have a very high talent in martial arts.

Even they cannot meet these two conditions.

Moreover, this martial art also made them quite interested.

Even Xiaomi can learn it, which means the threshold is not high. If we can get it back and let all the core disciples of the Beggars' Sect learn it, wouldn't the strength of the Beggars' Sect be greatly improved?

And who knows if this martial arts school has other similar martial arts related to their Beggars' Sect martial arts?

"Could it be that this was the work of a previous gang leader, and then it ended up in the hands of this martial arts school?"

Congratulations to the third elder Fa who expressed his guess.

The others nodded when they heard this, and at the same time began to think about going to this martial arts school.

If it is true that their Beggars' Sect's unique martial arts have been lost, maybe they need to find a way to get it back...

-

Tongfu Inn.

"What is going on?"

Shopkeeper Tong looked at the empty lobby of the inn with a worried look on his face.

Normally, at this time of day, most of the tables in the inn would be occupied by diners, but today there is no business at all.

"Hmm? Shopkeeper Tong, why is it so quiet today?"

Li Ming walked into Tongfu Inn at dinner time as usual.

But soon, he found something wrong.

The vases and porcelains that were usually placed in the lobby of Tongfu Inn for decoration had disappeared, and the light had become much dimmer. It turned out that the surrounding windows had been nailed shut.

"Hey, Master Li, you are finally here. Come and sit down."

Shopkeeper Tong complained with a sad face.

"After the last incident with bandits, nothing has happened. Old Xing came up with an idea to prevent thieves and thefts. He even came up with eight methods to prevent thefts. Our inn is the pilot site."

As soon as he heard Tong Xiangyu's complaint, Li Ming roughly guessed the reason for the incident and thought of the plot he had seen before.

Tong Xiangyu continued, "Originally this was a good thing, but Old Xing gave it to Xiaoliu to do. He was so good that he wanted to prevent theft, so he nailed up all the windows of our inn, saying that he was afraid that thieves would climb in. He also asked us to pawn the antique vases, saying that it was convenient to carry the pawn tickets with you."

Guo Furong just came over with a teapot and poured water for Li Ming while speaking.

"Not only that, Lao Bai and Da Zui are digging a tunnel in the backyard. They are so busy now that no customers are willing to come."

As a few people were talking, Constable Xiaoliu walked in holding a piece of paper.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Tong, Guo Furong, why haven't you two changed your clothes yet?"

Upon hearing this, their faces immediately drooped.

"You want us to wear ragged patched clothes, and you can even say that?"

Xiaoliu walked over with a serious face.

"What's the big deal? It's written on the Eight Anti-Theft Methods. Don't do anything that will attract bees and butterflies! Besides, there have been some flower thieves around here recently. Don't you know?"

"That flower thief shouldn't be interested in widows, right?" Xiao Guo joked while pinching his waist.

Tong Xiangyu was about to get angry with her when she suddenly heard a voice coming from the door of the inn.

"That may not be the case. I think this shopkeeper still has some charm..."

There was a strong sense of glibness and frivolity in his words.

A few people looked over and saw a man standing at the door with a knife in his hand.

This man had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked up and down at Tong the Shopkeeper and Guo Furong unscrupulously, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Hey, you look familiar."

Xiaoliu glanced at him sideways, his face full of confusion. He took out a few portraits and compared them with the man in front of him. Then he froze in his tracks.

"Tian, ​​Tian Boguang! You are the flower thief!"
