Chapter 162 Bandits raising travel expenses(1/2)
"Oh, you heroes! Don't be impatient and angry!"
The third senior brother walked forward with a smile and a very talkative tone:
"I know that all the heroes are brave enough to fight and kill. No, there are still bones buried on the ground. But I am not deceiving you. We really didn't bring much money with us when we went down the mountain. At most, we only had enough.
I am still worried about money for travel expenses these days. If you heroes want money, we will never have it."
Seeing that the thief was about to get angry, he changed the subject: "But there is another thing that I can show you heroes."
"What?"
The third senior brother was the only one among the many Taoists who had empty hands and didn't even hold a stick. Many thieves were the least wary of him. When he heard what he said, they all frowned at him.
"This is it."
The third senior brother put his hand into his sleeve, and when he stretched it out, there was a handful of beans in his hand, and he handed it to the leading bandit.
The overall color of the beans was yellowish. A thief who was far away thought they were golden beans. A thief who was closer looked at them and realized they were just ordinary soybeans. But when he got closer and took a closer look, they didn't even look like soybeans.
"What is this?"
"treasure."
"What treasure?"
"You'll know if it spills." The third senior brother said with a smile, "But we must remind the heroes holding bows in the forest not to be surprised and let go of the bow string. Our senior brothers will not be able to withstand the shooting."
After saying that, he grabbed a handful of beans and sprinkled them into the sky.
All the beans immediately flew up, growing in size as soon as they left the hand, and turned into pieces of soldiers while still in the air. They fell suddenly one by one, making a dull sound all around. The whole process was like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
In an instant, there were more than thirty soldiers around.
"hiss!"
I saw that these soldiers were all tall and strong, wearing armor and helmets. Some were holding long knives, some were holding spears, some were holding shields, some were holding bows and arrows, and their faces were all painted with bright red paint.
, really like the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals, many thieves were all frightened when they saw it.
With a crash, several thieves holding knives retreated.
The archers in the forest also trembled in fear and almost missed firing their arrows.
Only then did a leader stand up and immediately put away his sword and handed it over: "I didn't know that the gods and immortals were here, so I offended you! But I'm asking for food, so please forgive me!"
"Begging for food? If you ask for food, you will kill a lot of people." The third senior brother said with a smile.
"It's all the fault of the world and a helpless act."
"Haha, I know, I know." The third senior brother glanced at the other senior brothers, and then at the archers in the forest in the distance, smiled and cupped his hands, "We meet by chance, and the smoke and clouds disperse quickly, it is fate, so we senior brothers are like this
I won’t delay the good guys’ business this time, I’ll see you later.”
"We will see you later, we will see you later."
At this time, the two leading bandits, whether they were the good ones or the bad ones, bid them farewell respectfully.
The donkey bells in the mountains rang again.
A group of Taoists slowly left here.
Many bandits breathed a sigh of relief.
But they didn't notice that there were falcons circling in the sky, and wolves were following them in the distance.
The fox also turned back three times with one step.
The third senior brother didn't say anything, but Lin Jue already knew that he was going back to find them.
It's just that there were some archers hiding in the forest at that time, and the third senior brother was concerned about these archers, so he didn't immediately fall out.
What the senior brother said makes sense——
Although he is a cultivator, he has never attained the Tao, so he has always been a mortal body. Many brothers and sisters have not practiced the body training method of guarding against swords and being indestructible. They will still be injured by arrows and swords.
You will still bleed if you are hit, and you will still die if your head falls off. Therefore, if you look through history, you will find that there are so many masters who are obviously virtuous and capable of magic, but they are still afraid of the government and avoid the army.
Even Lin Jue, who has learned the fossil method, is afraid of being shot in the dark if the spell cannot be used in a hurry.
You must be cautious when acting in the arena.
As expected, before walking very far, it became a little dark. Because the weather was good today and they were not afraid of rain, the brothers found a sheltered and flat place in the mountains and prepared to settle down for the night.
"Hey, second brother, second brother, why are you bringing so many things? Master Dao, I didn't want to move anything at all, but I didn't expect that I would be left empty-handed and have to carry the box for you."
The third senior brother put down the second senior brother's box, shook his neck twice, and said to them:
"You guys should tidy up here first and cook the food. I will go back to talk to them. The world is already sad, but these thieves are still here occupying mountains and robbing roads, killing people and grabbing money. Today, I am considered a
By eliminating harm for the people, they might be able to get some money to repair Taoist temples, and if they have enough money, they can even buy a cart, which can be considered as doing something good for them."
"Senior brother, I'm with you." Lin Jue stood up with his sword in hand.
"Don't go. Killing people is different from exterminating monsters. It looks disgusting." The third senior brother said to him casually. The considerations in his mind were more complicated, but he just said, "After all, you still have to cook, and your hands are stained."
When the blood comes, we won’t be able to eat it anymore.”
"Then be careful."
Lin Jue wasn't worried about him.
Third Brother has dozens of bean soldiers, not to mention the bean soldiers who have been sacrificed. Even if they find dozens of brave and strong men at the foot of the mountain and put on a suit of armor, it will be more than enough to wipe out a hundred or so bandits.
This is the ability of the third senior brother.
"I'm too lazy to walk, so I'll lend you a paper donkey." The third senior brother said, "Fourth brother, ask your bird to guide me."
"good."
One person handed over the paper donkey, and the other person summoned the falcon.
The Taoist with a wine gourd tied around his waist rode away on a donkey and gradually walked away on the mountain road. The remaining few people picked up the stones from the dead grass and leaves and arranged a large square frame.
Then put down your luggage and take out the items for making rice.
The second senior brother went to pick some wild vegetables, the seventh senior brother took the fishing rod and went to the river to fish, the younger junior sister split stones on the spot to build a simple stove, and the other senior brothers went to the forest to collect some firewood.
The junior sister took out various condiments and placed them where Lin Jue could easily find them.
A fire was lit on the mountain road and a small pot was set up.
Not long after, there was a sway in the forest. Two wolves came out with a bamboo rat and a pheasant in their mouths. A clouded leopard that was as big as a leopard came dragging a muntjac. The seventh brother also carried a bunch of fish and carried the fish.
The pole wandered back from the river.
Lin Jue skillfully cut open the fish, washed and scaled it, wrapped it in mountain leaves and threw it into the fire. The pheasant was boiled with rice to make chicken porridge, and the bamboo rat was spread with spices and slowly roasted.
Even though they were sleeping in the open air, there was no chance of a meal. With everyone working together, there was a delicious meal on the mountain road.
at the same time--
The last bit of daylight was shining on the mountain behind him, and there was a sound of panic in the dark forest. The bandits who had been in power for many days welcomed the heavenly soldiers of Mount Yi.
Figures of people swayed in the mountains, running away and fighting. Sometimes there were shouts of killing, sometimes there were angry curses, sometimes there were the sounds of swords and armor clashing, and sometimes there were sounds of begging for mercy.
The senior brothers in Fuqiu Temple also have their own personalities. Most other senior brothers cannot do this kind of thing, but the third senior brother is different. He only needs to make sure that these bandits are really murderers and have committed crimes on himself, and he can do it.
There is no psychological burden and no mercy.
The people must be killed and the money must be taken away.
This is really not something everyone can do.
Because even for extremely evil people, the eyes that beg for mercy before death are still sad, the vicious curses are also very painful, the excuses are also difficult to distinguish between true and false, the blood is still hot, and the smell is still fishy.
In particular, there are also elderly people and young people under twenty.
If you don't have a free and easy mind, you will give birth to demons that will pester others.
By the time it was completely dark, a rich fragrance had already drifted from the mountains. The third senior brother also walked back unsteadily, full of vitality, carrying a lot of things on the donkey's back, and even leading a red horse.
"Wow..."
The three senior brothers all threw their things on the ground, making the sound of knives clashing.
Then he threw a money bag and a few strings of copper coins into the junior sister's bamboo basket, shook his head and sighed:
"These bandits are poorer than I thought. Most of them squandered the money they had, or hid the money. In such a large village, I only found a few dozen taels of silver in total.
