The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 111 Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple

"Cough cough."

The fisherman coughed twice, his face showing determination.

"My skills are inferior to yours, let's do it!"

Gu Ping'an frowned and looked at him, feeling that this man's personality was seven points similar to Ke Zhen'e.

"There's no need to do that. I never intended to kill you."

"You won't take my life?" The fisherman was stunned. "Why?"

"That's not urgent. I don't even know your name yet."

"A name? I'm Yu Wanzhou. Back when I was roaming the Jianghu, I used to call myself 'Fisherman of the Misty Waves.'" The fisherman laughed bitterly. "But I've been living in seclusion in Dongting for thirty years now. I guess no one has forgotten me."

No wonder he looked like a fisherman in his outfit, it turned out to be him.

When he was young, he was called "Yanbo Fisherman", wasn't he the Yanbo Fisherman who even Huang Yaoshi was a little afraid of?

"May I ask what your connection is with the Iron Palm Gang, and how you know the purpose of our visit?"

Yu Wanzhou looked at Gu Ping'an with a bit of surprise, not knowing why he asked this question.

"This story happened over thirty years ago. At that time, I was only in my early twenties, a novice, full of youthful vigor."

His face showed reminiscence, with a slightly bitter expression.

"I was angry at Emperor Shaoxi's incompetence and the harem's interference in government affairs, so I entered the palace to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, I met a master and nearly lost my life in three moves."

As soon as he said this, Gu Ping'an immediately remembered the old eunuch he had met in the emperor's bedroom before.

"I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but suddenly someone rushed out and took a blow from the master, and only then was he able to save me."

"That person is Gang Leader Shangguan?"

"Exactly! I later heard that he was a man of unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, and that he was one of the heroes of the Iron Palm Gang. Since then, I have diligently practiced martial arts, hoping to visit him on the mountain when I have achieved great success, to repay him for saving my life."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Who would have thought that only a few years later, news of his death suddenly reached me. I was disheartened and returned to Dongting Lake to live in seclusion."

"Sir, do you know what happened to the Iron Palm Gang later?"

"I thought my benefactor was gone, so I stopped asking about him. I only heard occasionally that the successor, Chief Qiu, was incredibly skilled in martial arts, and that the Iron Palm Gang was thriving, even crushing the Hengshan Sect."

He spoke with great admiration for Qiu Qianren, obviously unaware that the Iron Palm Gang had become almost a running dog of the Jin people.

Gu Ping'an asked again, "Since you no longer care about worldly affairs, why did you follow us here for thousands of miles?"

"That day, I was fishing on Dongting Lake when I heard the Beggars' Gang's assembly was quite loud. I was about to go over to see what was happening when I saw Gang Leader Qiu fleeing in a hurry. I also saw Beggars' Gang disciples coming down the mountain with a dozen Iron Palm Gang disciples tied up."

When he said this, his face showed indignation, and he obviously mistakenly thought that Qiu Qianren came to watch the ceremony, but was besieged by the Beggar Gang.

"I secretly inquired the next morning and vaguely heard some news. I also saw the two of you hurriedly heading southwest. I guess you are here to cause trouble for the Iron Palm Gang."

Yu Wanzhou's face turned cold and he said again.

"I can't defeat you, of course, because my martial arts skills are not good enough, but since I have received the favor of Gang Leader Shangguan, even if I die here, what do I have to fear?"

He said this passionately, but Gu Ping'an couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Sir, you are a chivalrous man, and indeed a role model for people of my generation. However, the way you handled this matter was rather foolish."

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why humiliate me like this?" Yu Wanzhou glared and asked angrily.

He really didn't know Qiu Qianren's true face, and he was only thinking about repaying Shangguan Jiannan's kindness, so he recklessly chased after him and almost lost his life.

"Sir, you don't know that the Iron Palm Gang today is no longer the same Iron Palm Gang as it was back then!"

Gu Ping'an had no choice but to start from the beginning, revealing how Qiu Qianren's schemes had nearly overthrown the Beggars' Sect. "This..." Yu Wanzhou was shocked, unable to believe his ears.

"We two came to Iron Palm Peak this time not to harm anyone, but to retrieve an important item."

"what?"

"This is a matter of great importance. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Gu Ping'an and the fisherman in the mist had only just met for the first time, so how could he have told him such a secret as Wu Mu's suicide note?

"As for whether what I said is true or not, sir, just ask a few Beggar Gang disciples in Jinghu and you'll know."

Yu Wanzhou also felt that what he said was reasonable and had no flaws, and he believed it most of the time.

"Okay!" He nodded. "I'll find out everything. If what you said is untrue, I'll come and fight you to the end of the world!"

Gu Pingan smiled faintly: "Just as you say, sir."

After finally explaining the whole story to the confused fisherman, he looked at the moonlight in the sky and was about to continue to Iron Palm Peak. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the horse that Yu Wanzhou had ridden on was seriously injured and could no longer be ridden.

He glanced at Mu Nianci and his heart moved.

"Sir, your horse is injured. Let us share one with you!"

He certainly didn't do it out of kindness;
For the remaining twenty miles, the two of them rode together on one horse and galloped towards Monkey Claw Mountain.

Mu Nianci sat in front of him, embraced by his arms, and finally she understood his intention of giving her the horse.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, her face was already flushed.

Gu Ping'an suppressed the urge to laugh and looked up at the mountain.

The view from here is different from that from afar. The five peaks are steep and towering, and the middle peak is particularly high, just like a huge palm stretched out.

"Nianci, look, the pines on this mountain are just like those in the painting."

Mu Nianci felt embarrassed and annoyed, so she just said "hmm" and didn't answer.

Gu Ping'an got the advantage and did not dare to act like a good boy. He tied the horse to a tree, took her around to the back of the main peak, and used his lightness skills to gallop upwards.

The books are stored on the second joint of the middle finger peak, which is the forbidden area of the Iron Palm Gang.

The two men passed by the gang's base and did not intend to cause any trouble. They simply captured the gang members who were patrolling at night, pressed their acupoints and threw them into the bushes.

As they went further up, the mountain road became more and more rugged. Gu Ping'an thought the detour was too slow, so he turned around, held Mu Nianci's hand, and took a shortcut to climb up.

Mu Nianci gradually got used to being led by him, and was no longer as shy as she was when they rode together before.

After crossing the knuckle area and going up several dozen feet, you will see a cave. The entrance of the cave is made of jade and is built very neatly.

"arrive!"

This is the holy land of the Iron Palm Gang, and also the burial place of successive gang leaders. When they go up to the peak and into the cave to wait for death, they always bring their beloved swords, precious artifacts and antiques with them as burial objects.

Wu Mu's suicide note was brought here personally by Shangguan Jiannan.

The two walked into the cave hand in hand. After turning two corners, a large cave suddenly appeared in front of them.

There are more than ten skeletons in the cave, all of them are the former leaders of the Iron Palm Gang, some are sitting, some are lying, and some are scattered, each one looks different.

Mu Nianci was a woman after all, and she leaned towards Gu Ping'an unconsciously.

The two looked around and finally saw a wooden box on a skeleton in the east.

Looking at it in the dim light from the fire stick, I saw four words engraved on the box with iron and silver hooks.
