When Hao Jian heard the system's words, he felt... numb!
"System, you specified a big...bug!"
System: "Why?"
Hao Jian said speechlessly: "If I cultivate the Great Way of Cause and Effect, wouldn't I become an emperor directly? Why the hell do I want to read the "Wu Beginning Sutra" in my mouth?"
As mentioned earlier, no one has ever collected all the ancient jade fragments. Although Emperor Wu Shi was the last great emperor in the pre-antiquity era, there was also the Qing Emperor in the post-antiquity era.
If Emperor Qing wants to go all out to collect all the ancient jade fragments, then he can definitely do it!
But why not?
Isn’t this nonsense? You’ve already become enlightened, so why do you still need the Sutra of No Beginning?
The system said: "The host asked me how to collect all the ancient jade fragments. This system only provides the host with a method? As for whether the host adopts this method, what does it have to do with this system?"
Hao Jian: "..."
For the first time in his life, Hao Jian felt that what the system said was so reasonable that he was speechless.
After a pause, Hao Jian said helplessly: "Can you give me an operational method?"
The system said: "It is just a deduction of ancient jade fragments. Who said that it is necessary to completely cultivate the path of cause and effect? With the host's current basic attributes, it will definitely be possible to achieve success in the path of cause and effect as long as it takes a period of time. Wouldn't it be enough to deduce it retroactively?"
Hao Jian was startled when he heard this and nodded unconsciously, "That's a solution."
…
A few days later, Hao Jian traveled through the Northern Territory and came to the Zishan area.
Looking from a distance, there is a solitary mountain standing at the end of the vast land, thousands of feet high.
This mountain peak has no soil or vegetation. It is completely a rocky mountain. At first glance, it gives people an extremely calm feeling.
Its entire body is purple-brown, as if it were polished from dull purple gold. It is so steep that it is impossible for mortals to climb it.
As you get closer, you can see that there are many knife marks and sword wounds on it, almost weathered.
Hao Jian's heart moved, he stretched out his index finger and drew dragons and snakes on the mountain wall.
"The cheap immortal Hao Jian, come here for a visit."
Check in complete!
Flying to the top of the mountain, looking around from a distance, you can see that there are nine mountains all around at the end of the horizon, and this purple mountain is located in the center, like a nine-dragon guard.
Looking at this magnificent Wushi Dojo, Hao Jian felt infinite emotion in his heart.
He knew that Emperor Wushi was still confronting the Immortal Emperor on his way to immortality...
No one obeys anyone!
After a while, he chanted:
"Now,
Nostalgia for a tall purple mountain,
I'm outside,
The No Beginning Sutra is inside."
After sighing, Hao Jian landed on the ground and walked leisurely.
As we walked, we arrived in front of a rocky mountain. An old man and a group of young men were surveying the rocky mountain carefully.
"Oh, that Chen Big Beard is too rampant, and he is really bullying others! If he cannot hand over Wujinyuan on time, we will kill all the young and old in our village!"
"There is nothing we can do. The strongest in our village is only at the level of Life Spring. How can we fight against them? They are a group of powerful bandits!"
"Master Zhang Wu, you have circled the stone mountain several times. Is there any source here?" asked a simple and honest young man.
"Big Beard Chen? Master Zhang Wu?" Hao Jian's heart moved and he stopped.
He knew he had found the right one!
If it weren't for the same name, this "Master Zhang Wu" would be a descendant of Master Yuan Tian, and the so-called "Big Beard Chen" happened to have an ancient jade fragment in his hand!
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, but it takes no effort at all!
"Although I'm not as popular as Ye Fan wherever I go, it seems... I'm not too lucky either!"
Thinking of this, Hao Jian walked over.
The gray-haired Zhang Wuye sighed: "There must be a source of energy in this stone mountain, and it is also a rich mine! It's a pity that this is a stone mountain hundreds of feet high. With our strength, it is difficult to mine..."
All the young people lamented.
"Old man, the rich mine you are talking about...is this rock mountain?" Hao Jian's voice came.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around to look at Hao Jian warily, and some even tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
They didn't realize Hao Jian was approaching at all.
Seeing everyone looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Hao Jian laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions and I have no desire to covet the source here."
"Then...what do you want to do?" Zhang Wuye asked.
Hao Jian said nothing, and with a wave of his hand, a ray of light flew out, and the stone mountain hundreds of feet high was cut into two, and the cut was extremely smooth.
"It really has a source! And it's a mineral vein! Mr. Zhang Wu, we are saved!" the honest young man shouted in surprise.
Zhang Wuye patted the young man, then turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "This immortal, you are too old to be polite. You dug the veins here, and they should be yours."
Hao Jian smiled and said, "My father-in-law discovered it, I just cut it open."
Suddenly, the youngest young man knelt on the ground and said: "Sir, help me, please help us, we really have no way to survive!"
The rest of the people also suddenly realized, and they all fell down and begged: "Sir, please save us, Chen Beardy wants to kill everyone in our village..."
"My sister was captured by them, and she will definitely not end well! Now, they want to kill our whole village for the sake of Yuan..." A young man knelt down and cried bitterly, with blood on his forehead.
Hao Jian waved his hand, and a force lifted everyone up, "Big Bearded Chen? Where is he?"
"Chen Big Beard is a group of rogue bandits, but he is different from the Thirteen Big Bandits in the Northern Territory. The Thirteen Big Bandits never bully ordinary people like us, but Chen Big Beard and the others specialize in bullying the weak."
"There are many such gangsters, but there are very few who do all kinds of evil like them..."
"They don't have a fixed base, they go around grabbing resources, burning, killing, and looting at every turn..."
Hao Jian nodded and said: "Well, take these sources and I will go back with you!"
He just waved his hand gently, and the source in the stone mountain was cut out. He took some for himself and distributed the rest to everyone.
There was another burst of gratitude and I skipped it.
…
Hao Jian followed the others towards their village. According to Zhang Wuye, this place was about two hundred miles away from their village.
After only walking seventy or eighty miles, the horse's speed slowed down.
These are just ordinary horses. Running for a long time will greatly shorten the life of the foal.
Zhang Wuye and others regard horses as their lives, so naturally they save their horses' energy and do not want to overdraw their horses.
At this moment, a burst of smoke billowed from the distance, and eight knights rode at a fast pace on strong dragon-scaled horses.
"It's a bandit! A bandit!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone's expressions changed with shock. Can the newly obtained source be lost like this?
"Everyone stop it!" A middle-aged man shouted as several people gathered around him, "Hahahaha... what a great harvest! There are so many sources of aura, I'm afraid it weighs hundreds of kilograms!"
He licked his lips and said, "Hand over all the sources on your body and spare your life!"
Hao Jian curled his lips, took a step forward, and said calmly: "You must have a lot of sources on your body, hand it over, and I will give you a whole body!"
"You little bastard, are you looking for death?" the man, who did not want to be named, shouted angrily.
"Little bastard? Do you know who I am?" Hao Jian said with a smile.
The man, who did not want to be named, said angrily: "I don't care who you are!"
Hao Jian said seriously: "My name is Hao Jian!"
"Hao Jian? What a mean name...hahahahaha...what a silly name!" the man laughed.
Hao Jian stretched out his right hand and flicked his fingers.
A wisp of finger pierced out with a sudden gust of wind, splitting instantly into two, two into four, and four into eight, hitting eight people in the throat.
In just an instant, eight bandits died.
Zhang Wuye and others looked at Hao Jian with eyes full of awe!
"You guys can ride these dragon scale horses." Hao Jian said with a smile.
The young people were a little jealous, but Master Zhang Wu said: "Thank you for the kindness of the immortal, but only rogues can ride these strange beasts. There are strange beasts in a small village like ours. Not only can we not guard them, but they will also cause big troubles. Let's let it go."
Let them fend for themselves..."
Hao Jian looked at Mr. Zhang Wu with a more appreciative look. He was worthy of being a descendant of Master Yuan Tian, and he knew how important it was!
…
Shizhai Village, as its name suggests, is a village made of piled stones. The whole village has only about 200 people.
Mr. Zhang Wu brought people back to the village and removed a large amount of water. The whole village was excited!
They sent out several teams, but only Zhang Wuye's team came back with a full load, and the harvest was more than in several years combined!
"Master Zhang Wu is so awesome, he got so many resources back at once!"
"The village can be saved, it can be saved..."
"Master Zhang Wu is awesome!"
The villagers cheered loudly.
Mr. Zhang Wu smiled and said: "It's all the help from the Immortal! If it weren't for the Immortal, we wouldn't be so capable..."
"Thank you, Immortal!"
When the villagers heard that Hao Jian had killed eight bandits with a snap of his fingers, they all knelt on the ground.
Hao Jian smiled and said: "Everyone, get up..."
That night, Shizhai specially killed a few sheep, roasted the whole sheep around the fire, sang and danced, drank heavily, and ate meat. It was as happy as the Chinese New Year.
A few days later, people outside the village shouted "Ma neigh".
"Big Beard Chen is here..."
"Hide quickly, the bandits are coming and want to bloodbath our Shizhai!"
The old and the weak hid one after another, while the young and strong rushed to the entrance of the village with weapons in hand.
"What's the origin of Chen Big Beard?" Hao Jian asked curiously.
Mr. Zhang Wu sighed: "Most of these bandits are actually from sects and have big forces behind them!"
Hao Jian nodded and asked again: "Are there only Chen Dabeard and a group of rogue bandits nearby?"
Zhang Wuye said: "Within a radius of five hundred miles, this is the largest one. This is Chen Big Beard's sphere of influence."
Hao Jian smiled and said: "I understand. Give them the source, and I will chase them to their lair and kill them, so as not to cause you any trouble."
Mr. Zhang Wu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Immortal, for your mercy."
Of course Hao Jian can kill these bandits on the spot, but he does not live here all the time. If Chen Big Beard dies here, it will definitely attract more bandits.
The best way is to quietly follow Chen Dabeard's lair and destroy it!
As for eradicating the rogue bandits...
There is nothing Hao Jian can do!
The rogue bandits are rampant in the Northern Territory, and they are intertwined with all the major forces, and they are impossible to kill.
This is the Northern Territory!
"People in Shizhai, listen, if the source that should be handed over is not handed over today, your Shizhai will be trampled to the ground!"
Mr. Zhang Wu came to the gate of the village with a bag and said respectfully: "Masters, please calm down, I have already prepared a source for you."
As he spoke, he opened the bag in his hand, and a burst of light flashed.
Chen Bearded waved his hand, and a bandit stepped forward and snatched the bag.
Chen Bearded took one look and laughed: "Hahahaha, old man Zhang, you really have some skills. You managed to get it together in such a short time! More than five kilograms... very good! Since you guys are working so hard, I won't kill anyone today."
!I’ll give you a task, within twenty days, hand over another five kilograms of source!”
Old man Zhang was startled, "What? Didn't we... didn't we just hand it over?"
Chen Bearded sneered: "The last time!"
"But...but in such a short time..."
"Stop talking nonsense! If you can't collect five kilograms of resources in twenty days, you will die!" Big Bearded Chen said with a whip.
"Where's my sister..." Er Lunzi cried, and four or five young men couldn't hold him back.
Bearded Chen laughed when he heard this and said: "Are you talking about the girl from a month ago? The taste was not bad, but it's a pity that the grandfathers jumped into the river before they could enjoy themselves..."
"I'll fight with you..." Er Lengzi's eyes were about to burst.
"Hahahahaha..." Chen Dabeard smiled and walked away with the bandits.
"These bastards who can kill a thousand swords!" Everyone in Shizhai was furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Er Lunzi kept shouting like an angry beast.
Hao Jian sighed and came to Er Lengzi, "I will take you to get revenge!"
…
Following the bandits, I watched them go to seven or eight small oases, and finally came to a temporary stronghold, but it was a stone forest.
"With so many sources collected this time, the old man should be able to break through, right?" said a bandit next to Big Beard Chen.
"Send it to the old man as soon as possible!" Chen Bearded ordered.
Hao Jian nodded, "He is indeed a lackey of the sect! Idiot, I will take you to revenge!"
Immediately, he strode into the stone forest with Er Lunzi.
"What are you doing?" A bandit yelled when he saw Hao Jian and the others.
"Noisy!" Hao Jian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just walked inside as if no one was around.
Wherever they passed, the rogues disintegrated into a bloody mist.
Soon, the two came to the depths of the stone forest and saw Chen Dabeard.
"It's you, idiot!" Big Bearded Chen said coldly.
"Hehe, your sister tastes really good!" You Liu bandit sneered.
"Go and avenge your sister!" Hao Jian said calmly.
Erluzi picked up a saber, eyes red, and walked towards the bandit step by step.
The bandits were all restrained by Hao Jian and could not move!
"Pfft..." Erlunzi swung his long knife and slashed at the bandit desperately. He was completely unaware of the blood splattered all over his body.
After just a moment, the only one left standing was Chen Dabeard.
"Please, spare me...I...I don't dare anymore..." Big Beard Chen was horrified. He didn't know he had offended a big shot.
Hao Jian said calmly: "Sparing you? Why? Are you allowed to go around burning, killing and looting?"
As soon as he pointed it out, Chen Dabeard was killed instantly.
Divine thoughts covered the surroundings, and with a wave of his hand, the sources and other things collected by Chen Dabeard were all photographed in front of Hao Jian.
He took a look and grabbed an ancient jade, about half the size of a palm.
