Chapter 50: Beggars' Sect Snake Formation, Shaolin's Whereabouts
"In addition, I have also given instructions for everyone to prepare everything."
A beggar said, patting the bag on his shoulder confidently.
There was something bulging inside, and it would occasionally make some movements, obviously some living thing.
Seeing this, Wan Dajin nodded with satisfaction, then stretched out his hand and took a few packages from the beggars under his command.
"You guys are not strong enough, so it's not convenient for you to get things done. I'll go, and you guys wait for me somewhere far away."
Several beggars nodded repeatedly, praising Wan Dajin as a good helmsman who cared for his subordinates.
Wan Dajin didn't pay much attention to it. He approached a remote and deserted corner, then jumped up and used his lightness skills to enter Qianming Martial Arts Hall.
The remaining beggars hurriedly retreated to a place where no one would notice them and hid.
"You think that everything will go smoothly for Master Wan? I heard that the owner of this martial arts school is very evil!"
"We are not going to fight him head-on. No matter how powerful he is, it is unlikely that he can guard such a large martial arts school so tightly. Captain Wan's Qinggong is not weak either, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"That's true!"
After a few words, the beggars felt relieved.
On the other side, Wan Dajin had sneaked into the martial arts gym without anyone noticing.
The backyard was originally very quiet, and there were not many disciples there, so no one noticed him.
However, Wan Dajin did not poison the person immediately, but crossed a yard.
Li Ming, who had just finished organizing and filing several martial arts techniques, was now half lying on a recliner in the yard.
This chair was newly purchased by him. He lay down on it, rocking back and forth a few times, looking like a real master.
When Wan Dajin saw Li Ming, a deep fear flashed in his eyes, but he did not avoid him at all. Instead, he walked straight towards him.
He came to Li Ming respectfully and said, "Master Li."
"Huh? Here?"
Surprisingly, Li Ming didn't seem surprised at all by the other party's arrival and asked calmly.
Wan Dajin nodded hurriedly.
"How have you decided to deal with me?"
Wan Dajin did not dare to delay and hurriedly told him about his plan to poison the water source of the martial arts hall.
At the same time, he took out the poison in his arms.
"In addition, Elder Xi also instructed us to prepare the Beggars' Sect's snake formation."
"Snake formation?"
Li Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had some impression of this.
Snake formation, as the name suggests, is a formation made of snakes.
The beggar is also very good at playing with snakes.
In the original plot of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the old monster Ding Chunqiu from the Star Constellation suffered a loss in his first battle in the Central Plains due to a snake formation.
The disciples of the Xingxiu Sect were defeated by the Beggar Gang disciples who used a snake formation under the command of Quan Guanqing, especially the old monster of the Xingxiu Sect, Ding Chunqiu, who was entangled by several giant pythons and unable to escape.
If he hadn't been so skilled in using poison and hadn't used the corpse poison to force the Beggar Gang disciples to retreat, they would have almost been defeated.
Elder Xi planned to use this thing to deal with me, so he invested a lot of money.
Li Ming knew what was going on.
Then he looked up at Wan Dajin.
"So, you didn't try any random detoxification methods when you went back, did you? If something goes wrong and the poison is triggered, I won't be responsible."
With just one sentence, Wan Dajin was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost fell to his knees in front of him.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"That's good. I've told you before that only I know how to detoxify and activate this tendon-breaking and bone-rotting pill. If you can be of use to me, then nothing will happen to you. Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Wan Dajin, the leader of the Dali branch of the Beggars' Gang, nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the cruel scene I witnessed not long ago.
The reason why he was controlled by Li Ming was because he was hit by the opponent's tendon-breaking and bone-rotting pill!
Before, Li Ming easily wiped out several strongholds of evil beggars in one day without much effort.
But at one of the places, Li Ming found out through interrogation that the leader of the Beggar Gang's Dali branch, Wan Dajin, would come to collect the money soon, so he went there to wait for a while.
The moment he opened the door, Wan Dajin saw only his own people lying on the ground, with only Li Ming standing in the middle.
Wan Dajin was so shocked and angry that he wanted to attack Li Ming.
But before he could see what was going on, several people around him were restrained.
Seeing that Li Ming did not kill him, Wan Dajingang began to act very tough, stiffening his neck and cursing.
Wan Dajin asked himself that since he had made it to this point, he was not a coward and could withstand any ordinary torture.
But when he witnessed that his right-hand man, Jia Niu, the deputy leader of the Dali branch, took a tendon-breaking and bone-rotting pill and activated the drug's effect, his psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Until now, Wan Dajin could not forget the scene of Jia Niu, such a strong man, whose tendons and bones were gradually broken and corroded, and who was constantly tortured, and whose body slowly collapsed in extreme pain.
From the heart-wrenching screams at the beginning to being unable to move later and only being able to show pain through his eyes.
When Wan Dajin thought of that scene, he couldn't help but shudder.
Anyway, no matter what, I...can't die like that!
Wan Dajin made up his mind. But he just lied.
After he surrendered, he returned to the Dali branch and worked very hard, trying every possible method of detoxification, but to no avail.
Once the tendon-breaking and bone-rotting pills are taken, they will immediately melt and disappear, taking root in the body and cannot be removed at all.
Wan Dajin was afraid that he had gone too far and activated the poison prematurely, and then no one would be able to help him.
That's why he behaves so well now.
"Is there any other useful information?" Li Ming asked.
"Have!"
Wan Dajin nodded flatteringly.
"According to the news we just received, people from Shaolin Temple are already nearby. They are probably coming to see you, Master Li."
"Shaolin Temple? Who is coming?"
"Master Xuannan, the head of the Dharma Academy, and Master Xuanji, the head of the Discipline Academy, reported the news directly to our Beggars' Sect. Elder Gong in our sect is considering coming with them."
Li Ming nodded when he heard that.
After planting the nail of Wan Da Jin, of course we have to make the best use of it.
The Beggars' Sect disciples are spread everywhere and are known for being well-informed.
Moreover, it is not surprising that Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect, one is known as the world's largest sect and the other is known as the world's largest gang, often exchange information when they are active in the martial arts world.
However, Li Ming needs to pay attention to this matter.
He had taught Du Dajin boxing before, so he knew that Shaolin would come early, but he was quite surprised that the first two to show up were two heavyweights.
I heard that Master Xuan Ji is a gentle person and has reached the peak of innate cultivation.
Xuan Nan is a bit tricky, as he had just broken through to the Grandmaster level two years ago and is one of the two top masters in Shaolin.
The reason why it is stated on the surface is because almost everyone knows that the Shaolin School has unfathomable heritage, and there must be more than just the two grandmasters, Abbot Xuanci and the head of the Dharma Academy, Xuannan.
At least the four great monks of the Kong generation who retired a few years ago, although there has been no news about them, should not be underestimated.
Maybe there are more old monsters like Sandu hidden in the back mountain.
Li Ming knew what was going on, and then took the poison that the Beggars' Gang was going to give him from Wan Dajin.
Wan Dajin explained at the side: "This kind of slow poison is commonly used in our gang. At first, you may not feel anything wrong, but after three to five days, it can make people weak in the hands and feet, dizzy, and difficult to mobilize their true energy."
Li Ming weighed it in his hand.
"You Beggars' Sect are quite skilled at doing this kind of thing."
Wan Dajin's face showed a bit of embarrassment.
After asking for some more information, Li Ming let Wan Dajin leave.
"Teng!"
Wan Dajin's figure appeared outside the wall, and the Beggar Gang disciples hiding in the dark in the distance immediately surrounded him.
"How is it, Captain Wan?"
"Will there be any problems if I take action? Don't worry, everything has been prepared. From now on, none of you are allowed to act rashly. Wait for my instructions."
After Wan Dajin gave his instructions, the other Beggar Gang disciples all nodded.
the other side--
Soon, Li Ming arrived at the front yard of the martial arts hall and saw the very active Yang Guo.
I have to say that Yang Guo is still very smart. It hasn't been long since he got along well with everyone in the martial arts gym.
It just so happened that Mo Xiaobei had just left the academy and finished his meal at the inn, then hurried over.
She has been very enthusiastic about practicing martial arts recently.
Especially after hearing that Li Ming would give rewards to those with outstanding performance in the future, he became even more active.
"Are you the third disciple of the master?"
Mo Xiaobei looked at the unfamiliar Yang Guo, his eyes full of vigilance and curiosity.
But Yang Guo was so smart that he had already gotten Mo Xiaobei's information from others.
At this time, he hurriedly took a step forward.
"Junior Brother Yang Guo, nice to meet you, Senior Sister! Junior Brother is dull, so I will need your guidance on many martial arts problems in the future!"
The word "senior sister" made Mo Xiaobei very happy, and the distant feeling disappeared immediately.
Mo Xiaobei put his hands behind his back and coughed in an old-fashioned way.
"Yeah, that's good. Junior brother knows the rules very well!"
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is your second senior brother."
Mo Xiaobei said this, and called Lin Pingzhi over with a gloomy face.
Now, whenever Lin Pingzhi looks at anyone, he has a bitter and resentful expression on his face. He is silent and full of negative energy.
This attitude of not allowing strangers to enter made Yang Guo feel a little nervous.
