Lin Dongjiu shuttled through the forest with the Great Sage and Xiaopang in his arms. He did not use the flying magic weapon Feiyunzhou because it required a large amount of spiritual stones to activate the Feiyunzhou.
"Brother Lin, what is this place?"
Peng Yan followed Lin Dongjiu to a village, not knowing why.
Lin Dongjiu shook his head and did not reply.
He stood at the entrance of the village, and the boulder as tall as half a man was still standing, but the little girl who waved goodbye to him was missing from it.
Lin Dongjiu sighed quietly in his heart.
After standing for a long time, Lin Dongjiu seemed to have no courage to enter the village again, and just stared at the stone in a daze.
The Great Sage scratched his head. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he was also a little sad because of the king's emotions.
"let's go!"
Lin Dongjiu glanced at the entrance of the village for the last time, as if he was expecting a sweet voice to stop him.
Unfortunately, the only response to him was the sound of wailing wind, sobbing and echoing at the entrance of the village.
This is already a dead village.
...
"Stop! Hand over all the valuables you have, and I will spare your life!"
On the official road, seven or eight masked men jumped out of the dense forest, stopped Lin Dongjiu and Peng Yan in disguise, and said professional terms such as "pay the money and you won't be killed" in a very professional manner.
Lin Dongjiu and Peng Yan looked at each other, and the former said helplessly:
"Fat brother, this is the third time, why are we so unlucky! If it happens again for the fourth time, I won't go to the Imperial City with you!"
The Great Sage squatted on Lin Dongjiu's shoulders and breathed at the little fat guy: "Unlucky..."
Peng Yan said angrily: "How do I know? I shouldn't..."
After Xiaopang finished speaking, he said in a rather angry tone:
"How can you blame it on me! Let me tell you, I am very lucky. You are probably the reason why I encounter robberies."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Along the way, including this time, they were robbed three times in total.
It's okay to say once or twice, after all, everyone has trouble memorizing words sometimes, and it's not uncommon for some monks in the world of immortality to kill people, steal goods, and block roads to rob for resources.
Although the cultivation level of these robbery gangs is generally not high, the leader at the head is only at the foundation level cultivation level, and Lin Dongjiu can hold them together with one hand.
But these robbers seemed to have made a plan to pick them out.
The times are too many, and even if you don’t bite, you’ll be in a bad mood!
Is it because fat people are easy to bully?
Lin Dongjiu glanced at Xiaopang and took the initiative to stay away from him.
When the robbers saw that these two "ordinary" young men were chatting in front of them, they immediately rushed over with their machetes raised.
Peng Yan threw out a few mung beans without saying a word. The masked man in the lead saw a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw the little fat man throwing out a few beans.
He slashed with his sword, and thick vines immediately burst out and entangled his long sword.
The remaining mung beans also sprouted vines, and the dancing vines were like giant pythons swimming among the crowd, instantly entangling the robbers into a ball.
The battle started and ended quickly. The average cultivation level of this group of bandits was at the level of Qi training and foundation building. Xiaopang's methods left little room for them to resist.
Peng Yan nodded to Lin Dongjiu. Lin Dongjiu curled his lips, took out the green light sword very skillfully, raised his hand and slashed out a beam of sword light, and began to harvest lives.
When encountering the first two groups of robbers, they also cooperated in this way.
"Young hero, save someone under the sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dense forest beside the road flashed with purple light, and a sword light two or three feet long flew out.
The two sword beams collided, making an explosion and leaving a long sword mark on the ground.
Lin Dongjiu stood with his sword behind his back. The chubby man next to him calmly took out his precious fan and stared at a thin middle-aged man wearing a gray robe walking out of the forest.
The old man walked up to the bandits covered in vines and bowed his hands to Lin Dongjiu and Peng Yan:
"I, Lei Guang Sect Elder Ji Ping, my disciples have just offended the two young heroes. I hope that the young heroes will show mercy."
His posture was very low, and there was even a bit of humble pleading in his tone.
Lin Dongjiu glanced at Xiaopang, who shook his head, "The second level of Yingguan Realm, easy to handle."
Ji Ping's face flashed with embarrassment, but he quickly recovered and said humbly: "It's a small sect, not worth mentioning."
Lin Dongjiu did not ask Xiaopang to let them go, but nodded and said:
"Thunder Light Sect, I have heard a little about it."
"But then again, if you don't practice in the sect honestly, why did you come here and become thieves?"
Ji Ping blushed and sighed:
"Young hero, you don't know something. Our Lei Guang Sect was affected by the war, and the sect... is gone!
"It's okay for me, as I don't need to eat grains, but as juniors like me, we have no choice but to block roads. However, we are just grabbing some spiritual stones to survive, and there is absolutely no harm to anyone's life."
The reason is pretty good... Lin Dongjiu complained in his heart, but he didn't go into details. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked:
"War? What war?"
Ji Ping looked at Lin Dongjiu with strange eyes:
"Is it possible that the young hero is not from the Lingyun Kingdom?"
Xiaopang was a little impatient:
"Stop talking nonsense and just say whatever I ask you. Do you still want me to let go of these bastards under your command?"
Cultivation as an immortal is not about fighting and killing, it is about being worldly, Fat Brother... Lin Dongjiu shook his head secretly.
Sure enough, Ji Ping's face became even more unnatural, and the tied disciples were filled with humiliation and anger, and they shouted:
"Elder Ji, don't worry about us. Since we decided to commit robbery, we have already prepared for retribution in our hearts. Why should we be so humble and beg for help? It will only lose the sect's face."
One of the disciples shouted: "If you want to kill me, I'll cut you into pieces. Don't pretend to be compassionate!"
"Huh? You're quite brave. Fatty, I'll operate on you first!"
Peng Yan was already unhappy because of his bad luck. When he got angry, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to deal with the disciple who was causing trouble.
Lin Dongjiu grabbed Xiaopang and signaled him not to be impulsive.
"shut up!"
Ji Ping was so angry that he was shaking all over, turned around and scolded:
"Face...the sect's face was completely lost the moment it was destroyed. What else can we lose?"
He turned around again and cupped his hands: "You two young heroes, don't argue with these juniors. If you two want to find out any information, I will tell you everything."
He is a flexible and flexible person... Lin Dongjiu's eyes flashed with admiration, he turned to look at Xiaopang, and said calmly:
"Fat brother, let them down."
Xiaopang was puzzled and secretly sent a message:
"Brother Lin, how can you be merciful when dealing with these evil thieves?"
Lin Dongjiu glared at him and replied:
"You know 6!"
Six?...Peng Yan scratched his head and then suddenly realized:
"I understand, Brother Lin, you want to ask questions before killing me, right? I don't think you are a soft-hearted person."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
"I'd better ask the ancestors to come out and talk to you."
"Don't..."
The little fat man shrank his neck and immediately retracted the vines.
When Ji Ping saw this, he bowed and said, "Thank you two young heroes for not killing me!"
After saying that, he turned back and glared at his disciples.
Everyone endured the little fat man's anger and said in a low voice:
"Thank you for not killing me!"
Lin Dongjiu nodded slightly:
"Well, tell me, what happened to the war?"
Ji Ping sighed and said bitterly:
"Two months ago, the Luoxia Sect and the Fengyin Sect of the five major sects of Lingyun Kingdom went to war. Our Lei Guang Sect was innocently affected in this war and suffered the disaster of annihilation of our sect."
Lin Dongjiu nodded. He had expected the battle between Luoxia Sect and Fengyin Sect, so he was not surprised. He just said:
"Please explain in more detail. How could the war between the two major sects, Luoxia Sect and Fengyin Sect, affect your Lei Guang Sect?"
Ji Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Not only our Lei Guang Sect, but also dozens of large and small sects such as Feilong Hall, Diaoge Xuan, Wuyuan Sect, etc. were also affected."
In addition to the five major sects in Lingyun Kingdom, of course there are also some small sects and sects. For example, Lin Dongjiu has never heard of any of the sects mentioned by Ji Ping.
This must be the reason why large sects fight and small sects suffer disaster... Lin Dongjiu sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Continue."
"About a month ago, an elder from the Feng Yin Sect came to visit our sect and wanted to help our sect join the Feng Yin Sect in the war."
"But our sect leader refused."
Ji Ping explained: "Young hero, you should also understand that when top sects such as Feng Yin Sect and Luoxia Sect are fighting, if small sects like us get involved, we can only serve as cannon fodder."
"If one party to the alliance wins, it's okay, but if it loses, it will definitely be liquidated by the other party. So our sect leader told the elder of Feng Yin Sect that he would not accept the order, but he also promised that he would never help the Luoxia Sect and remain neutral.
"
"But who would have thought..."
Ji Ping's eyes were filled with fire and he gritted his teeth and said:
"But who would have thought that the elder said he was afraid that our sect would secretly defect to the Luoxia Sect, so he would lead his men to destroy our sect directly!"
His voice trembled slightly:
"Nearly a hundred disciples from all over the sect, including the elders and the sect leader, all died tragically under the Fengyin Sect's butcher knife. The disciples I led escaped because they went out for training."
Emotions of grief and anger permeated among them, many of them had red eyes, and the chubby guy beside them kept shaking his head and sighing.
Lin Dongjiu was silent for a moment and said: "How many sects like yours are left that have been liquidated by Feng Yin Sect?"
"Big and small, there should be twenty of them."
Ji Ping's voice was bitter: "It's funny to say that we are the first sect to be liquidated by Fengyin Sect. After other sects learned the news, they either took refuge in Fengyin Sect or Luoxia Sect, and some
The sect even dismissed all the disciples and recalled them after the war was over."
Twenty, there should be quite a few like Ji Ping and others who escaped, otherwise Xiaopang and I would not have encountered several groups of robbers along the way...
If they can be brought together with those disbanded sects, they will be a fighting force that cannot be underestimated... Lin Dongjiu had an idea in his mind and smiled slightly:
"Ji Ping, do you want to rebuild the Lei Guang Sect?"
