Chapter 27: Unrighteous Heart Technique

  "Oh, I see. Cheng Hu Fa, this time I came down the mountain, I wanted to clarify my origins and why there is a green snake pattern on my body. What does this green snake pattern mean? Just now you said something, I seem to understand a little bit, Cheng Hu Fa, listening to you say that, I am undoubtedly the descendant of the Green Snake Clan?" asked Geng Yuan.

  "It should be, otherwise, how would you have the totem of the Green Snake Gang on your body! As for your identity, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the son of the old gang leader Duan Gui, without a doubt. I still remember that before I was sent to Gansu by the old gang leader, I had heard that the old gang leader's second wife gave birth to a fat little boy, and the old gang leader named him 'Hong De', you should be the son of the old gang leader Duan Hongde." Cheng Kun said affirmatively.

  "So, Cheng Hufa, how did I end up at Biyuan Temple later on? Who destroyed the Green Snake Gang? Do I still have any relatives left? Do you know?" Gong Yun asked impatiently.

  "This I'm not clear about. When I returned from Gansu, it was already a year after the Green Snake Gang was destroyed. I also tried to find out about the situation of the Green Snake Gang being destroyed, but no one knew, and all the people in Bayin Town refused to mention the destruction of the Green Snake Gang. I could only hide here and wait for a miracle to happen. Today, seeing you, it seems that my waiting has paid off." Cheng Kun said excitedly.

  "Cheng Hu Fa, you have been loyal to the Green Snake Gang for over a decade, unwavering in your dedication. You are truly a role model for us juniors." As he spoke, Geng Yuan was about to stand up and pay his respects to Cheng Kun.

  "Master, you can't help it, you can't help it! You have the totem of the Green Snake Gang on your body, you are our master, and you must receive the respect and admiration of all members of the Green Snake Gang. You are the heaven of our Green Snake Gang! As for paying respects, only we subordinates will pay respects to you. Master, from now on, I, Cheng Kun, will obey your command in everything, help you revive the Green Snake Gang, even if it means sacrificing my life, I won't hesitate!" Cheng Kun's voice was hoarse, but his words were loud and clear.

  "Thank you, Cheng Hu Fa. With a guardian like you, the Green Snake Sect has nothing to worry about reviving. This time I came down from the mountain, it was to gather my loyal followers and revive the Green Snake Sect." Geng Yuan said this with his own plan in mind, thinking: "No matter what, no matter if I am the legitimate heir of the Green Snake Sect or not, no matter if the so-called Green Snake Sect can rise again or not, it's all unimportant. What's important is that as soon as I came down from the mountain, there is someone willing to accept my command, it's truly a fortunate thing. From now on, I am no longer fighting alone. This foolishly loyal old man will be able to do many things for me in the future, why not use him as my pawn? Alright, let's go along with his intentions."

  Geng Yuan thought of this, excitedly stood up: "Cheng Hu Fa, your staff technique just now was really too superb, I could only defend against it and had no power to counterattack. Can you pass on that set of staff techniques to me?"

  "Master, you're too polite. I, Cheng Kun, only obey your commands, my life belongs to you, the master, don't mention a single trick. Master, I'll pass it on to you now." Cheng Kun was born to be a servant, without a master, his life would lose its meaning, now that he's met Gangyuan, he's willing to dedicate his life to him, and naturally expresses himself sincerely.

  "Alright, I'll learn now." Gangyuan said, tightening his waistband and following Cheng Kun's moves step by step.

  Gengyuan studied hard. Because he knew that in order to truly defeat Xin Yuan in the future, and win over Xin Yuan's "Floating Extreme Fist", he had to learn from various schools of thought, complement each other's strengths, and only then could he succeed. Only by defeating Xin Yuan would his junior sister Yao Fenglan have a chance to belong to him.

  At this time, Geng Yuan was called the leader by some people, who were willing to serve him, making his vanity even more inflated. "I must become a leader who can command everyone's respect! I not only want to enjoy the luxurious life that a rich family's son should have, but also make all those who know me obey me! I will control Biyuan Temple with my own power, become a figure who dominates the wind and clouds in Cangmen City, defeat all others and become the emperor of Cangmen City! Hahaha!"

  Geng Yuan was so pleased with himself that he burst out laughing.

  "Boss, what happy thing are you thinking of?" Cheng Kun, who was demonstrating the action to Geng Yuan, was laughed silly by Geng Yuan and asked.

  "There's nothing. After so many years of drifting, relying on others for shelter, and enduring hardships, I finally have a place to settle down, and I feel deeply relieved, so I couldn't help but burst out laughing." Gengyuan said, speaking nonsense to cover up.

  "Right, right, from now on, this Eight Sounds Town branch will be our Qing She Gang's new headquarters. I, Cheng Kun, will follow you closely and serve you." Cheng Kun said with excitement.

  "Master, look at this Shaolin staff technique, it emphasizes the importance of focus and concentration. This set of Shaolin staff techniques has 36 forms in total, I have demonstrated each one for you, please master, would you like to try it out so that I can see?" Cheng Kun made a inviting gesture.

  Geng Yuan is a person who appears loyal and honest in front of others, but reveals his murderous intentions behind their backs. He is also cunning and deceitful. At Biyuan Temple, he pretends to be loyal and honest in front of Master Hui Chong and the other monks in order to gain benefits, but only Xin Yuan can subtly see that he has ulterior motives during their interactions.

  Gengyuan practiced the Shaolin staff method that Cheng Kun had just taught him. As expected, Gengyuan was indeed clever and mastered the 36-style Shaolin staff method in a very short period of time, with innovation and flair. Cheng Kun, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

  Geng Yuan finished practicing the Shaolin staff method taught by Cheng Kun, and Cheng Kun applauded and congratulated him: "Master, you are naturally intelligent, and Elder Duan chose you as the successor of the Green Snake Gang, truly a wise decision!"

  "Now, this is the good part of Cheng Hu Fa." Geng Yuan put down the Shaolin staff and sat on the steps to rest for a moment. He then motioned for Cheng Kun to sit as well. Cheng Kun thanked Geng Yuan and sat at his lower position.

  "Cheng Hu Fa, since this courtyard was originally the location of the Qing She Gang's branch, it is also the inherent property of the Qing She Gang and the foundation for our revival. Cheng Hu Fa, take me on a tour of this courtyard." After sitting for a while, Geng Yuan suggested that they visit the yard.

  Cheng Kun hastily stood up and replied affirmatively.

  "Yes, yes, you see me, I'm delighted. Master, from now on, this mansion is yours. I, Cheng Kun, am just a gatekeeper, and have been taking care of this mansion for the Green Snake Gang for 18 years. Today, it should be returned to its rightful owner. I know that although you are young, Master, you are a man who can accomplish great things, and from now on, our Green Snake Gang has great hopes!" Cheng Kun was immersed in the excitement of finding his master.

  Cheng Kun led Geng Yuan to the conference hall first, then took him to see the master bedroom and study of the leader, and finally took him to other houses in the yard. Cheng Kun held a large bunch of keys and opened door after door that had been sealed for eighteen years.
