The sudden destruction operation, in the end, when Sun Wu opened his palms, apart from a pile of blackened ashes, there were only two things left, a gold lock piece and a jade pendant, glowing faintly in the ashes.
It was obvious at first sight that it was something extraordinary, but even Sun Wu couldn't recognize what it was.26nbsp;
"Xiao Shang, why are you moving so fast?"
"Didn't you say you don't want it anymore? Just burn the garbage. It's bad behavior to throw garbage everywhere. Xiao Shang is an environmentally friendly little angel."
Rolling his eyes was a normal reaction, and Sun Wu almost wanted to faint on the spot.
"No one will regard you as an angel. I said I don't want it anymore, but this matter can't be ended like this. Even if I don't want it, people will still be wary. I want to send these tokens back, regardless of the intimidation.
'It's still an inducement. I have to apologize to them carefully and tell them it's okay."
"Oh, now there are only two pieces left, so you can save a lot of distance."
The girl took it for granted. Sun Wu, who had long given up the chance to be angry, had no choice but to accept it all.
"Which family do these two tokens belong to? Dad should have told them their names and addresses, right? Even if there are only two families, I still have to send the things back."
"My name and origin were written in the envelope. It had been burned just now. I could have used a magic weapon to try to save it, but you took action so quickly and the ashes were all shattered by you. Now unless I go back and ask my father,
, otherwise no one will know what is written on the paper."
"...Anyway, you just want to drag me down and tell me that I am also at fault."
"Yeah~~~!"
The discussion with Xiao Shang will never have a normal result. Sun Wu put away the gold lock piece and the jade pendant, and secretly promised in his heart that one day he would definitely return these two tokens and apologize to others properly, but at that time...
...I hope the golden bell can withstand the sixth level, right?
In fact, this is not the only problem at hand. The thing that worries me the most is that Liangshan Bo, which has lost the Buddha's blood relic, can only float in the sky for another half a year. If the lost object cannot be recovered within half a year, Liang Shan Bo will regain his power source.
It is bound to fall to the ground.
The person who stole the Buddha's blood relic was naturally Nalan Yuandie. She abandoned the damaged Feiyun ship and regarded seizing the Buddha's blood relic as the last resort to save the battle. She finally escaped without a trace, but she was already injured at the time.
How did she, who was not young, escape from the two masters Hu Yantu and Li Mubai? How did she leave Liangshanbo? These are all mysteries that are difficult to solve.
Assuming that Nalan Yuandie successfully escapes from Liangshanbo and returns to the earth, where will she go now? Where will she hide?
How to find her? The more I think about it, the more clueless I feel. Xiao Shang is completely unreliable in these matters. He can only act alone, which is indeed very difficult.
Even take a step back and think about it, what exactly is the Buddha's blood relic? In addition to supplying energy, does it have any characteristics? Where does it come from? If there is such information, maybe we can learn from the special characteristics of the magic weapon.
I followed the clues and found the Buddha's blood relic.
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Sun Wu unconsciously held his head and shook it gently. A small hand next to him stretched out and pulled his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Shang's frowning expression.
"……hungry."
"I'm hungry too, but we don't have any money. I think it's better to wait for you to ride the magnetic hoverboard to the nearby mountains. I'll see if I can hunt some hares and wild birds, so we can have a meal first.
Anyway, don’t worry, I won’t let you starve.”
In front of his companions, Sun Wu once again showed his sense of responsibility. From the perspective of a fourteen-year-old boy, this spirit is worthy of praise, but the focus of what his companions heard seemed not to be this.
"Oh, you can find food on your own... wouldn't it be easier if you said that earlier?"
Xiao Shang suddenly stood up and walked towards the center of the street. In the middle of the street, there were a dozen children of seven or eight years old. They were dressed quite decently. They obviously came from a wealthy family. They were playing and playing. They seemed to be having a lot of fun. When they saw a little sister
When my sister came over, she was startled.
(Ah, Xiao Shang must be pretending to be cute. Adults who don’t know the truth can easily be fooled by this trick, but these are children, why is she pretending to be cute?) Sun Wu wondered about Xiao Shang’s actions.
But he found that she didn't change her expression. She still had the same cold face that made people shiver. She stood in front of the children with her hands on her hips and spoke coldly.
"Hey kid, take out all the money you have."
Without any specific threats, the children who were treated as prey felt frightened simply by the hunter's eyes and aura, and immediately burst into tears, alerting the adults chatting not far away, and nine adults rushed over.
The blackmailer was surrounded. The twelve-year-old female blackmailer seemed to be unable to see anything and continued to repeat what she had just said.
"Hey, old ghosts, take out all the money you have."
"Hahaha, little sister, do you know that robbing on the street is illegal?"
"...The same goes for killing people."
People who heard these words laughed loudly. No one took the little girl's threats seriously. Only Sun Wu on the side broke out in cold sweat. Having been together since childhood, he knew very well how much Xiao Shang meant what he said when he spoke harshly.
, these people laugh so loudly, it is as if they have put one foot in the door of hell.
Xiao Shang moved his palm slightly, as if he was about to do something, but the wind flashed around him, and Sun Wu broke into the crowd, held Xiao Shang's hand, and apologized hastily to the people in front of him while sweating profusely.
"Ha. Ha. Haha... My sister likes to talk nonsense. A few adults have a lot of nonsense. Please don't mind it. Children's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous, hahahahahahahahaha..."
There was no joy in the laughter, but instead it showed the nervousness in the young man's heart. However, the little hand holding it was still struggling vigorously as if he was unhappy. As long as she was allowed to break free, she would probably be here soon.
After saying this, Sun Wu didn't give Xiao Shang a chance to regret. He suddenly picked him up, put him on his shoulders, and rushed out of the crowd like flying.
"Those two kids... are really weird."
Taking this sentence as an annotation, people judged Sun Wu and Xiao Shang's first day on earth. Among the more than 20 men, women, and children standing on the street, no one felt the danger at that moment, and no one knew it.
The young man's efforts to avoid tragedy.
Everything in the world is defeated by something. Sun Wu often feels that Xiao Shang is his natural enemy. As long as she is around, his troubles and troubles will be endless. However, on the other hand, Sun Wu did not realize that he
It was also Xiao Shang's psychological barrier. Without him, they would have incurred more than a dozen lives on the first day they came to the earth, and they would not have been able to hide in the mountains for the next two or three days and live a primitive life of hunting and gathering.
Life.
"You are so useless! Did you work so hard to escape from Liangshan just to hide in the woods and become a primitive man?"
"Stop arguing. I'm thinking very seriously. You should think about everything before taking action. Being reckless will only waste more time. I plan to think about where to go before taking action."
"Have you reached a conclusion after two and a half days of lengthy thinking?"
The most obvious point in the conclusion is that both of us are children and have insufficient knowledge and vision. If you want to do something, it is best to have someone to guide you so that you can enter the situation more easily.
"So you are looking for someone to take refuge with? Do you have any relatives or friends outside?"
It's not impossible. Sun Wu still remembers clearly that Uncle Luo made an agreement with him that as long as he leaves Liangshanbo, he can go to him. Although eating and drinking for free is a shameful thing, Uncle Luo should be able to help him.
busy.
"Oh, so, what is Uncle Luo's address?"
I don’t know! When Uncle Luo said those words, I was still young and had never thought about leaving Liangshanbo. Of course I would not ask him for these information. Later, when I got older, Uncle Luo never came again. Not only did I not have his address
, if you think about it more deeply, you have even forgotten what his name is. If you want to find someone like this, it is simply like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"It's so miserable. My fiancée is gone, and Uncle Luo is gone too. The future looks really bleak."
"I'll find a way!"
Although he said this, when it came to actual actions, Sun Wu felt that he was at a loss as he knew too little. If there was no one to rely on and give guidance, he would have to explore everything by himself, even though the idea was very simple.
It's time-consuming, but I have always believed that haste makes waste, and stupid methods are often good methods. What's more, actually taking the first step is more important than anything else, at least not standing still.
Then, there is only one question left.
"Xiao Shang, promise me first that after entering the town, we must be self-reliant. We must earn what we eat and spend money by our own abilities. We shall not steal, rob, or harm others to support ourselves."
Sun Wu spoke seriously, while Xiao Shang had an impatient and bored expression on her face. It wasn't until Sun Wu repeated the words a second time that she replied with a cold face, "Okay, okay, okay."
After solving this big obstacle, the remaining problems are very simple. With a small return pill and a few days of rest, Sun Wu has fully recovered his strength. Even if he fights head-on, with the power of the sixth level of the Golden Bell, he is enough to deal with Mingde.
Most of the problems in the dam. Of course, if you take into account some strange magic weapon effects in the battle, it will need to be evaluated separately.
After Sun Wu and Xiao Shang had a good meal in the mountains, they entered Mingdeba Town again. The first thing they had to do was to post various recruitment notices on the notice wall in the city, collect various work information, and prepare to work. However,
The two of them had differences over what kind of job to look for.
"Xiao Shang, I think we should find that kind of odd job, because as long as we earn some travel expenses, we have to leave here and go to a big city, so long-term work is not feasible."
"I agree, but the time is short and I want to make a lot of money. The ideal thing is to engage in dangerous work and make a lot of money in a short time."
"No, I don't like dangerous sex work."
Xiao Shang raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't care about any danger. Seeing this expression, Sun Wu could only sigh.
"This is what worries me. Asking you, Xiaoshang, to do dangerous sex work will feel like throwing fire into rapeseed oil. If you are fine, the people around you will be littered with corpses."
As if his true thoughts had been guessed, Xiao Shang showed a bored expression and let Sun Wu choose the various recruitment messages on the notice wall. No matter how the times progress, there seems to be no change in the way people apply for jobs. In the notice There are still a large number of ragged coolies squatting near the wall, waiting to be hired by passers-by to do odd jobs in exchange for some meager remuneration.
Compared with these coolie men, the literate Sun Wu and Xiao Shang were much luckier. They could read the text on the notice wall and choose a job that suited them. However, they immediately ran into problems, because no matter what job it was, there was a minimum wage. There is an age limit. No one is willing to hire a fourteen-year-old boy or a twelve-year-old girl. Even if there is such a job, the content seems disturbing.
Xiao Shang's gaze rested on a corner of the notice wall. Sun Wu followed her gaze and saw the red paper that read: Looking for girls under the age of thirteen, flawless, beautiful and well-behaved, price negotiable. Give the best.
It was written so clearly that even if he wanted to pretend to be ignorant, he couldn't pretend to be ignorant. Sun Wu found that Xiao Shang seemed to be more and more interested in it, and stopped with a trembling voice, "That... seems to be a certain brothel that is recruiting young prostitutes. And the writing is so ambiguous, it may encourage human trafficking. I will never let you go to that kind of place. Also, you are not well-behaved, what can you do there?"
"Kill the whole family to eliminate harm to society."
"If the last sentence is half true, society will definitely thank you."
Sun Wu and Xiao Shang sat under the notice wall, chatting wordlessly. Since they had no idea about the future for a while, they couldn't talk about anything. Instead, they listened to the coolie man nearby and unexpectedly learned a lot of things. Among them, the one that has aroused the most heated discussion is the huge sum of money provided for flood relief in the south of the Yangtze River.
In response to the massive floods in the south this year, various chambers of commerce in the north jointly donated huge sums of money to be sent to the south for disaster relief. The large amount of this relief money alarmed bandits from all over the Middle-earth.
In troubled times, the common people have long been so poor that they have turned into bandits. There are more and more bandits and fewer and fewer kind-hearted people. How can there be so many ordinary people to rob? Although this huge amount of money for disaster relief is It is of great importance, affecting the lives and deaths of millions of disaster victims, but when profit is the priority, how can you care about the lives of others? When the news came out that this disaster relief fund was about to be shipped to the south, the greenwood gangs in the entire Middle-earth were shaken, and countless giant bandits The gangsters are all coveting this huge sum of money. Not only are the gangsters from all over the country ready to take action, but some strong men from the underworld who have been retired for a long time are also coming out for this purpose. There are even rumors that masters from foreign races are coming to seize it.
The disaster relief funds have not yet been released, and various forces are already eyeing it, vying to take a bite of this big fat piece of meat. This news naturally attracted the attention of the imperial court, and began to 'meddle' in it to select suitable transport candidates.
To safely transport this huge sum of money for disaster relief to the south, relying solely on the officers and soldiers of the imperial court has no hope at all. Although the regular army is far more powerful than ordinary bandits in terms of armed equipment, even if the journey is uneventful and the box is opened at the destination, It is very likely that you will only see an empty box, and all the officers and soldiers, together with the superiors, will abscond with the money. This kind of thing has been common in the Dawu Dynasty. The major chambers of commerce that donated money have no trust in the military at all, and will never be represented by the government. deliver.
Forces outside the officialdom, Cihang Jingdian and Heluo Sword Sect, these two sects have enough strength to intimidate all parties and ensure that the disaster relief funds reach the south safely. However, the two mainstays of the righteous path have their own taboos and feel that such a During the transportation, we have to withstand the attacks from all parties, which are fearless to death and as ferocious as beasts. Even if we can reach the destination safely, the disciples will suffer heavy casualties, and the strength will be greatly reduced, which is not cost-effective.
Furthermore, since the end of the "rebellion" of the Taiping Army, Cihang Jingdian, and the Heluo Sword Sect have kept a certain distance from the imperial court and have not cooperated with the imperial decree. Although it has not been stated clearly, everyone can see the meaning. , is to show that the two major sects are composed of people from China, and they cooperate with the Dawu royal family to fight against the enemy, but they are not surrendering, and they will not offend the world's heroes in order to be loyal to the court.
Ninety-nine percent of the martial arts coaches in the Imperial Army come from the two major sects. Officers of all ranks, regardless of high or low, are willing to work under the two major sects to learn higher martial arts skills, establish achievements on the battlefield, and get promoted and make a fortune. The two major sects also deliberately selected and cultivated highly qualified soldiers to deepen their influence into the army. This strategy was implemented as early as the founding of the Dawu Dynasty. It has become so intricate that the Dawu Dynasty is unwilling to directly conflict with the two major sects. , even the delivery of disaster relief funds is the same.
The leaders of the two major sects simply replied, "We will handle it with caution," but there was no further explanation. Seeing that the time for sending the relief funds was approaching, there were not enough experts to escort them, and there was no one in charge who could make the world trust them. The prestige of the dynasty was also seriously damaged. In the end, it had no choice but to appoint a civil servant who had been idle and dismissed from office.
This minister surnamed Wen, after he was dismissed from his post in the opposition, devoted himself to education and made friends with heroes from all walks of life. Because of his upright personality and high reputation, he became famous in the world. People respectfully called him "Brother Zhengqi" instead of "Brother Zhengqi". To call him by his first name, he is indeed the best choice to be the person in charge of delivering disaster relief funds. However, a problem before him has also begun to test Brother Zhengqi.
"Although Brother Zhengqi's reputation is high, not everyone buys his account. Especially the bandits from outside the territory and the remnants of the Taiping Army. They are willing to kill him. He alone can keep this money. ?"
"Of course it won't work. I don't know how many powerful people are coveting this disaster fund now. Unless the two major sects are involved in this matter, how can Brother Zhengqi, a scholar, have the ability to keep the disaster funds?"
"If the officers and soldiers can be trusted, it is not a big problem to transport the disaster funds. But I heard the news two days ago that there are many people in several provinces along the way who are jealous of the disaster funds, and there are also local troops who are preparing to pretend to be bandits to snatch the funds. Where are the disaster funds?"
"Well, if you can't make an official an official, you can't make an army. No wonder the world is in such chaos. Civil uprisings happen all the time. Sometimes I think about it, it would be better if the Taiping Army replaced the Great Wu Dynasty..."
This sentence must be the common sentiment of many people. When it is said, many people sigh, but among the many sighs, the rolling sound of "dongdong" is particularly harsh. When people follow this sound and look, But he saw a bloody human head rolling on the ground. It was the man who just mentioned the Taiping Army.
"You dare to rebel against thieves, and you dare to openly praise the Taiping monsters. I will arrest them all and return to the government office!"
Five men wearing the same clothes as the other coolies stood up from the crowd and shouted loudly. They took out iron plates symbolizing their identity from their arms, showed their identity as secret agents, and ordered everyone present to be arrested.
There seems to be no big difference between entering the government office and entering the gate of hell. As soon as everyone heard such a cry, they immediately dispersed and fled in separate ways. However, the nearby exits had long been blocked. More than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed out from the exits on all sides, holding hands.
The combat magic weapon he held was a strange luminous long sword, as thin as a needle. It was used to cut the copper poles of the coolies, easily cut the copper and break the iron, and then kill the people.
The difference in strength was so great that it couldn't even be called a battle. Witnessing this scene, Sun Wu only thought it was absurd. The officers and soldiers had such superior magic weapons and weapons, but they did not use them to exterminate the bandits or assist in escorting the disaster funds, but they did what they should do to themselves.
Draw your sword against the common people you want to protect. Is this what an officer and a soldier should do?
However, Sun Wu was angry too early, because these officers and soldiers not only pointed the tip of their swords at the coolies who were unable to fight back, but also at the young man and girl in front of him.
"Kid, you two are definitely not good people hanging around here. You have become an accomplice of the rebels at a young age. It is really a heinous crime. Let's go with the officials."
For the first time in his life, Sun Wu realized what "the official word has two mouths". Before he could say a word, the other party finished everything he said. He had no chance to speak back. He really couldn't argue.
.
But Sun Wu had nothing to say, but that didn't mean that her companions around her didn't have any opinions either. Although she only said two words lightly, they had more impact than any accusation or cry.
"...go to hell."
In the chaotic scene, the two words the girl spat out coldly were covered up by the surrounding noise. No one except Sun Wu heard it, not even the officer and soldier. But soon after, everyone present
I saw with my own eyes that a strange red halo enveloped the official. In the miserable howl, starting from the lightsaber in his hand, the whole person turned into blood inch by inch from the top of his head. Finally, that
The terrifying howl still echoed in people's ears, but the official had completely disappeared, leaving only the bright red blood on the ground.
The extremely shocking scene stunned everyone present. It took a while before anyone realized that the commotion caused this time was even greater than when a group of coolies were arrested before.
many.
"Well, over there...someone is illegally possessing a magic weapon!"
"It's that kid. I saw the light coming from him."
"Catch them!"
Sun Wu's mind was in chaos. He was very confused about the current situation. What was the crime of "illegal possession of magic weapons"? Is it more serious than rebellion and rebellion? Why did the reaction of this group of officials become more intense than when they called out rebellion just now?
?
Also, is it my fault that I am a little taller? It’s just that because I am taller than Xiao Shang, others can’t see clearly, so the crime of illegal possession of magic weapons falls on me. What magic weapons do I have all over my body?
A melee unfolded so mindlessly. As the instigator, Xiao Shang seemed to have no intention of taking action again, and Sun Wu did not intend to let her take action again, causing unnecessary casualties. In this case, the entire responsibility fell on
Sun Wu's body.
"Don't worry about those untouchables, everyone, help me capture these two brats and find their magic weapons!"
It was clear from the shouts that the enemy had such a plan. Even if the blood-transforming magic weapon was surprisingly powerful, as long as they attacked intensively and used more than a dozen lightsabers at multiple angles, they would have a good chance of winning. This has long been common sense when fighting magic weapons.
.
However, what stood before the eyes of the officials was not the red blood, but the dazzling golden light.
In an instant, more than a dozen lightsabers stabbed, chopped, and slammed down. All of them shot out brilliant sparks when they came into contact with the golden light. They were simply composed of energy pillars and had no physical lightsaber blades.
There is no such problem as breaking, but after three lightsabers were pierced by the golden light, they could not withstand the counterattack of the reverse flow of energy. The handles at the end exploded into pieces, and the wielder's arm was turned into half a piece of charcoal.
Simply looking at the appearance of Sun Wu and Xiao Shang, no one would associate them with this golden light, but the pressure on the front end of the lightsaber and the bone-breaking pain in the entire arm are clear evidence.
A few knowledgeable officials shouted out in reaction.
"Golden bell cover!"
It is almost the most powerful body-protecting skill in the world. The skill is astonishing as soon as it is used. The sixth level of the golden bell cover skill does not require a deliberate attack. Just a gentle encouragement can block more than ten lightsabers from the golden light.
Not to mention hurting his skin, he couldn't even break into the range of the protective gas shield. When Sun Wu received the lightsaber attack, he breathed out gently, and the accumulated Jin Zhongjin bounced out and swept in all directions.
The golden bell shook so hard that all the officials turned over and fell down.
(Really, it’s so awesome!) For the first time, Sun Wu could not hide the joy in his heart when he tried to prove his strength to the outside world. Although the result was the same as what he had guessed, he still seemed very happy that the guess turned out to be a fact.
The regular tactics of practitioners of the Golden Bell Mask are to use their own hard Qigong to block the first wave of enemy attacks. After the enemy's attack power is exhausted, they will take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack with heavy punches. Sun Wu knocked down all the officials around him. This is the result of the beautiful implementation of this tactic.
, However, I don’t know whether this young man should be called cowardly or a complete pacifist. After breaking the enemy’s encirclement, he did not attack immediately, but rushed out and escaped quickly.
The commotion here seemed to have alerted the city defense troops. Soldiers appeared on the two streets on the left and right. They waved their swords and killed the coolies blocking the intersection. As the corpses fell sideways, they quickly approached.
Sun Wu and Xiao Shang.
Sun Wu had a golden bell to protect his body, so he didn't notice this little battle at all, but seeing that the situation was out of control and more and more innocent people were being harmed, he began to feel nervous and didn't know how to deal with this situation.
(Should I start fighting? But in this case, I will have a conflict with the government before I can find the Buddha's blood relic, and things will be very troublesome later; but if I just escape like this, what will the people here do?) When I was in Liangshanbo
, Sun Wu practiced Qigong very seriously, and also conducted some imaginary exercises in actual combat, but the battlefield situation was ever-changing. A dilemma like this was something Sun Wu had never thought about. Now that he encountered it for the first time, it seemed that there was a problem no matter what choice he made.
Time actually hesitated and stood there blankly.
Without Xiao Shang's urging, it might have taken Sun Wu longer to come back to his senses. Xiao Shang had been held on the left side by Sun Wu. When more than a dozen lightsabers surrounded the two people just now, Sun Wu lowered his body and stood up for Xiao Shang.
Blocking the sword with his body, but seeing that Sun Wu had no reaction at this moment, Xiao Shang began to struggle slightly, as if he wanted to take action.
(Does Xiaoshang want to take action? These officials are so bad, it’s not a bad idea to let Xiaoshang deal with it... No, no matter what, life is life, we will not sit still and wait for death, but we are not qualified to sentence other lives to life or death.
, and with Xiaoshang's style... we must not only kill these official servants, but 90% of the time there may be only two of us alive within the shooting range of dozens of feet...) The last concern is really a big problem,
Although it was a special honor to be treated with such special regard by Xiao Shang, Sun Wu still couldn't be happy.
"Stop! Don't kill good people by mistake!"
A timely roar solved Sun Wu's problem at the right time. The roar came from the street on the right. A gap was opened in the soldiers' camp, and a snow-white horse rushed out of the formation, without a trace of debris in its body.
Mao', who looked very impressive with the long horns on his forehead, flew with all four hooves, knocking away the heavily armored soldiers blocking the way, and reached the center of the street in the blink of an eye.
