After hearing Yang Chengye's question, Hong Qi put away his smile and asked seriously: "Little brother, don't you really remember what happened?"

  Yang Chengye shook his head and said: "Let me think for a moment!"

  Yang Chengye went through everything in his mind and finally said, "I only remember seeing the Jin soldiers killing civilians, I was furious and rushed in, and then I don't know what happened."

  Hong Qigong sighed and said: "To be honest with you, you almost went mad and your meridians were completely severed."

  "It's a good thing we arrived in time and rescued you from Jin Bing's hands, otherwise you would have been torn to pieces by now!"

  Yang Chengye also knew that it was Hong Qigong who led the beggars to save him, and he couldn't help but express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master Hong, for lending a hand! I'll never forget this kindness!"

  Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong smiled and patted Yang Guo's shoulder, saying: "Brother Yang, I am Hong Qigong, a disciple of the Nine Bags of the Beggars' Sect, not the sect leader."

  "I was sent by the boss to gather intelligence on the Golden Man, don't get me wrong."

  Until then, Yang Chengyi knew that Hong Qigong was not yet the leader of the Beggar Clan, but only a Ninth-Ranked Elder.

  "Hong Changlao, didn't you leave with Huang Yaoshi last time? Why isn't he here?"

  Yang Chengye suddenly asked Hong Qi.

  Hong Qigong said: "Huang Yao Shi is going out of the pass to find old mountain ginseng, and also wants to collect some medicinal herbs, so after crossing the Yellow River we parted ways."

  Yang Chengye nodded and said: "Just now you said I almost went crazy, what's the matter with the meridians being broken?"

  Hong Qihui said: "I have examined your body, but I found a phenomenon."

  "Elder Hong has something to say."

  Yang Chengye said to Hong Qi.

  Hong Qi grabbed the wine gourd and took a mouthful of wine, then handed the wine gourd to Yang Chengye.

  Yang Chengye didn't say a word, took over the wine gourd and poured a mouthful with force, finally wiping his mouth.

  Hong Qi continued to ask: "Yang brothers, you are only fifteen years old this year, right?"

  Seeing Yang Chengye nodding, Hong Qi said: "It's like this, I see the inner strength in your body surging, like the Yellow River water, rushing and unstoppable."

  "But these internal forces are not something you cultivated bit by bit yourself."

  "But rather someone forcibly poured into you, putting all his internal energy into your body."

  "And these internal forces have been sealed within your dantian, leaving only a small gap."

  "And besides, you haven't even converted these internal forces into something you can use for yourself, which is why your internal forces are impacting your meridians, backfiring at critical moments, and almost severing your meridians, affecting your mental state."

  "It's good that you exhausted all your internal energy and fainted, otherwise even if you didn't die, you would have become a useless person."

  After hearing Hong Qi's words, Yang Chengye suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of heart palpitations surged up to his head.

  Yang Chengye nodded and said to Hong Qi: "Old Master Hong is right, my master indeed gave me a head start, pouring all his lifelong skills into my body."

  "It's just a pity that he passed away at the time and didn't teach me how to use it."

  At these words, Hong Qi suddenly said: "No wonder, it turns out to be so."

  Yang Chengye asked Hong Qigong: "Since Elder Hong knows about it, is there a way to resolve this?"

  Hong Qiqi shook his head and apologized: "This, I also have no way."

  "Yang brothers, you'd better open your mind."

  Yang Chengye smiled and said, "As the saying goes, life and death are destined, wealth and nobility are in heaven. Maybe one day we'll find a way to solve it."

  At the same time, Yang Chengye thought of when Xuzhu was also infused with all his power by Wu Yaozi, and his situation was the same, why didn't he counterattack?

  Is it because he has cultivated the North Ming Divine Art?

  There is also Duan Yu, who initially absorbed the powers of several people, including the lifelong powers of Jiumozhi, why didn't he have a backlash?

  His current situation is almost identical to Linghu Chong's, but Linghu Chong was able to suppress the backlash of internal energy only after practicing the Yi Jin Jing in Shaolin.

  The Northern Profound Divine Skill has become a thing of the past, and even Xuzhu's traces have disappeared from the Jianghu. It seems that only the path of cultivating the Easy Muscle Classic is left.

  The destination of this trip happens to be Shaolin, I wonder if I can practice Yi Jin Jing.

  Yang Chengye put down the huge stone in his heart and thought about hurrying to Shaolin Temple.

  Watching Yang Chengye daze off, Hong Qi called out: "Brother Yang, how are you feeling?"

  It wasn't until he was called three times that Yang Chengye came back to his senses and said to Hong Qi, "Elder Hong, what's the matter?"

  Hong Qigong said: "Today after a big battle, you must be hungry."

  "Come on, come on, these are all things those little guys brought back for me. Let's eat and chat."

  After Hong Qi said that, Yang Chengye felt hungry too, so he thanked him and got up to come to the bonfire.

  A chicken was hung over a bonfire, its oil glistening in the firelight, and a savory aroma filled the entire temple.

  Yang Chengye sat down beside Hong Qi by the bonfire, and a beggar placed a jar of wine in front of them.

  Hong Qi slapped the wine jar seal, poured two bowls of wine, then tore off two chicken legs and handed one to Yang Chengye, and started eating with big mouthfuls, also drinking the wine.

  Yang Chengye also started eating with big mouthfuls, occasionally picking up his wine cup to toast with Hong Qi.

  After having enough wine and food, Yang Chengye and Hong Qi chatted casually. When Hong Qi learned that Yang Chengye was the second son of Yang Zaixing, he immediately became respectful.

  Hahaha

  Hong Qigong burst out laughing and said: "So Brother Yang is a descendant of the loyal and honest General Yue Fei, and your esteemed father is even my idol."

  Yang Chengye smiled and put it aside, chatting with Hong Qi about martial arts.

  Yang Chengyi knew two of the Beggars' Sect's greatest skills: one was the "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" and the other was the "Dog-Beating Stick".

  When Yang Chengyi asked about these two great skills, he only learned that the two great skills had been lost with Qiao Feng's death.

  After Jiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Gang also changed several times, and the martial arts used were varied, but no one practiced these two great skills, so the current Beggar Gang is already much weaker than before.

  However, the Beggar Gang still took it as their duty to eliminate the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty and protect the Song Dynasty. Countless disciples joined the Yue Family Army, and with its disbandment, the Beggar Gang's disciples resumed their old occupation, dispersing across the land to gather intelligence.

  Hong Qī is twenty-five years old this year and is the youngest of the nine senior elders of the Beggars' Sect. He has also been favored by the sect leader, so he may become the next sect leader.

  Hong Qigong's ability can be seen from the fact that he became the Ninth Master of the Beggars' Sect at such a young age.

  Yang Chengye had always admired Qiao Feng's three great skills, "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms", "Capturing Dragon Skill" and "Dog-Beating Stick". Now that he heard they were already lost, he found it quite regrettable.

  Yang Chengyi knew that Qiao Feng was actually from Shaolin, and his martial arts foundation came from Shaolin. The "Dragon Subduing Skill" was also one of the 72 ultimate skills of Shaolin, while the other two great ultimate skills were passed down to him by Wang Jian Tong after he took over as the leader.

  It seems that this time going up Shaolin is not just about inviting Master Juewudang, but also a must-visit to the Scripture Storehouse.
