The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

So far, there have been no other discoveries. Jiang Ning has already observed the organizers of Judefang. Except for the one named Zhou Ye who has some martial arts skills, the rest of the thugs are ordinary people with strong bodies.

Jiang Ning left quietly. He was ready to go back and visit the Wuyi Lane that these people were talking about tomorrow.

Chapter 143: Next ( words)

Jiang Ning returned to the inn and knocked on the door. The waiter in the lobby heard the knock and quickly removed the crossbar to open the door.

"Sir, where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?"

After Jiang Ning came in, the waiter stuck his head out and looked around. When he found that there was no one, he closed the door.

"walk around."

Jiang Ning smiled.

The waiter said, "It's not safe at night, so try not to go out at night."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded, then returned to the guest room, thinking about the information he had just heard from Judefang.

the next day.

After asking for the direction of Wuyi Lane, Jiang Ning went out again.

Wuyi Lane is the dirtiest and messiest lane here, and it is inhabited by beggars. When Jiang Ning arrived, there were not many people here, and those beggars had all gone out to beg.

Jiang Ning searched and found a house at the deepest part of Wuyi Lane. More than 20 people lived in it. They were all sturdy men. One of them had some martial arts skills and had reached third-rate strength.

During their conversation, they found out that the third-rate person was the manager of Wuyi Lane. During the conversation, these people were still complaining that there was not enough money here and it was not as good as the money in Judefang.

Jiang Ning left after listening for a while. In the next few days, through his investigation, he found out the distribution range of the Qing Gang and the number of members in the gang.

The Qing Gang has a total of six branches, one in Judefang, one in Qinglou, one in Wuyuxiang, and three occupying three streets. Its headquarters is on South Street. Each branch has more than 20 people and six hall masters. Each hall master has third-rate strength, and most of the members are ordinary people who know some martial arts.

There are nearly fifty people stationed at the South Street station. The gang leader is a man called Wang Qiye, who has second-rate martial arts skills. There is also a second-rate deputy gang leader, but he is not in the Green Gang and no one knows where he went. It is said that he was taken away by people from the Sun and Moon Sect more than 20 days ago and has not returned since then, and there is no news of him.

In the conversation among the gang members, it was mentioned that the deputy leader was a man who could use a chain hammer. Jiang Ning recalled that there was indeed a man who used this weapon that night.

It seems that the man is their deputy gang leader.

Up to now, the Qing Gang has nearly 170 people in total, including one gang leader with second-rate strength, one deputy gang leader, also second-rate but has been killed by Jiang Ning, six hall masters with third-rate strength, and the rest are ordinary people who only know how to fight. This is the overall strength of the Qing Gang.

During the investigation in Jiang Ning, another thing was discovered. The predecessor of the Green Gang was a branch of the Beggar Gang, but later surrendered to the Demon Cult, broke away from the Beggar Gang and established the Green Gang. Their leader, Master Wang Qi, was originally an elder of the Beggar Gang, but he also surrendered and transformed himself into the leader of the Green Gang.

After finding out the situation of the Qing Gang, Jiang Ning returned to the inn.

Jiang Ning felt the injuries in his body.

His internal injuries had improved, leaving only some superficial wounds, but they no longer prevented him from killing people.

Jiang Ning packed his bag and prepared to leave the inn.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw the waiter tidying up the tables, chairs and benches in the lobby.

"Sir, are you leaving? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

The guy looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled: "I have something else to do, so I can't stay here anymore."

At this time, the girl went out to buy vegetables, and the old man also went out. Only the waiter and the cook were left in the inn.

"OK then."

The waiter nodded, then laughed and said, "Sir, if you have time, you can come to Sichuan again."

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded, then took Maodou out of the inn from the backyard, and rushed towards Qingcheng Mountain after leaving.

Songfengguan.

Jiang Ning came to the Qingcheng Sect’s headquarters again.

There was a Taoist boy sweeping the ground at the entrance of the temple.

Seeing someone coming to the gate of the temple, the Taoist boy was about to put down his broom and salute, but when he saw Jiang Ning's appearance, he was stunned and his pupils dilated.

next second.

"what!!!"

The Taoist boy was so frightened that he screamed, dropped the broom in his hand and ran into the temple, shouting as he ran.

"Master! Master!! Oh no! That person is here again!!!"

Jiang Ning was about to speak, but when he saw the Taoist boy's expression, he paused.

Is he so scary?

Seeing this, Jiang Ning did not go directly into the Taoist temple, but waited at the gate. Not long after, a middle-aged Taoist priest and some other Taoist priests hurriedly walked out of the temple with nervous expressions.

"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

The middle-aged Taoist priest bowed to Jiang Ning, first gave him a blessing, and then said, "Mr. Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

Jiang Ning nodded in return: "Thank you for your concern, Master. Everything is fine."

Seeing that Jiang Ning looked calm and didn't seem like he was here to cause trouble, Taoist Zhang finally felt relieved.

Taoist Zhang then smiled and said, "Master Jiang, please come in."

Although I don’t know what Jiang Ning is here to do this time, I just need to treat him as a guest of honor.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then walked into Songfeng Temple again.

Taoist Zhang intended to let Jiang Ning walk in front and he followed behind, but after Jiang Ning noticed it, he slowed down and walked side by side with Taoist Zhang. This action made Taoist Zhang feel relieved, and the smile on his face became more sincere unconsciously.

Jiang Ning looked at the Taoist temple with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This place has changed a lot since the last time he came.

The Songfeng Temple used to be magnificent and grand, and looked more like a palace than a Taoist temple. But now this feeling is gone. The prosperous and eye-catching things on the buildings have been removed, leaving only some basic buildings with a simple and ancient atmosphere.

"Haha, I have already removed all the carvings that Uncle Yu had made. In fact, this is the original appearance of my Songfeng Temple."

Taoist Zhang smiled and said, "I plan to use the things I dismantled to exchange for some money to help the people."

The money in the temple had been almost squandered by Yu Canghai and his disciples and sons, leaving only some jade and jewelry, but those were the property of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and were returned to Jiang Ning by Taoist Zhang.

Jiang Ning nodded and said nothing.

Taoist Zhang welcomed Jiang Ning to the main hall. After a while, a Taoist came in with tea and placed it in front of Jiang Ning.

"There is nothing in the temple to entertain Mr. Jiang. I hope you don't mind if the hospitality is not good enough."

Taoist Zhang sat opposite Jiang Ning and said with a smile.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I am disturbing your sect by coming here uninvited. I am being rude."

Taoist Zhang laughed and felt completely relieved.

The other party is not here to cause trouble.

"I wonder what important matter Mr. Jiang has come to my Songfeng Temple for this time?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Taoist Zhang asked.

Jiang Ning put down his teacup and said, "I do have something that I need the assistance of the Taoist priest and your sect."

Taoist Zhang's expression became serious when he heard this: "Please tell me, if there is anything that my Qingcheng Sect can help with, I will do my best to help."

The other party really came for something.

"Thank you very much, Taoist Priest."

Jiang Ning responded first, then said: "I wonder if the commander knows about the Qing Gang?"

"Qinggang?"

Taoist Zhang pondered over this and said after a while, "I have heard a little bit about it."

Before Yu Canghai and his disciples died, Taoist Zhang had heard them mention the Qing Gang. Before, the Qingcheng Sect was also prepared to destroy this gang, but for some unknown reason it failed. Yu Canghai even went to the Qing Gang in person, but came back not long after with a very ugly look on his face. No one knew what had happened. In the end, the Qingcheng Sect no longer cared and let it go.

Later, the Qing Gang also sent people up the mountain to give gifts to the Qingcheng Sect, but Yu Canghai refused to accept them and drove them down the mountain. From then on, the two gangs did not bother each other, and Taoist Zhang was not aware of the inside story.

Jiang Ning then told him the specific situation of the Green Gang.

"What? The Green Gang is a subordinate gang of the Demon Cult?"

Taoist Zhang opened his eyes wide when he heard this.

No wonder Yu Canghai ignored the Qing Gang many years ago. He only knows the inside story now.

"What are you going to do, sir?"

After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Taoist Zhang said hesitantly.

Jiang Ning said: "I want the Taoist priest to help me get rid of them all."

Jiang Ning's words were very soft, but the cold murderous intent in his words made Taoist Zhang's hands tremble unconsciously.

really.

The other party really intends to let the current Qingcheng Sect get involved.

After thinking for a while, Taoist Zhang stood up and said, "Don't worry, sir. Eliminating demons and defending the Way is what we should do. The Qingcheng Sect will never refuse."

Even though there are only a few big and small cats in the Qingcheng Sect now, Taoist Zhang still agreed. He had to agree.

The Qing Gang has already surrendered to the Demon Cult and is not far from Mount Qingcheng. They may go up the mountain at any time to destroy the Qingcheng Sect and sever the Taoist lineage.

The evil cult members are cruel and ruthless, and there is no doubt that they are determined to kill all those who follow the righteous path.

Now the Qingcheng Sect is not what it used to be. There are no masters in charge. His strength is the highest among all the junior brothers, but after so many years of keeping a low profile, his strength is only close to second-rate among third-rate, which is much worse than Yu Canghai. The other junior brothers are basically concentrating on practicing Taoism, and their strength is not that good either. If the Qing Gang really wants to destroy the Qingcheng Sect, they will not be able to resist.

So when Jiang Ning proposed to destroy the Qing Gang and planned to ask the Qingcheng Sect for help, the Qingcheng Sect had no reason to refuse, and Taoist Zhang did not intend to refuse.

It would have been fine if he didn't know about the Qing Gang before, but now that he knew, Taoist Zhang suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

Now that Jiang Ning was willing to help them destroy the Qing Gang, Taoist Zhang was naturally overjoyed.

He is very confident in Jiang Ning's strength.
