Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 32 Encounter with robbers on the road
Hearing that Hu Lin wanted to go to Jiangyan City to explore the Yue family, the monk also had this idea in his heart, so he said to him, "Master Hu's idea coincides with the little monk, I wonder if the little monk can go together?"
"It's okay to go together, but it's just ......," Hu Lin said this, and looked at the little girl who had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and was staring at them with interest. Then he said to her, "Yue'er, where do you live?" ”
Hearing Hu Lin's words, the little girl immediately pursed her little mouth and said, "Yue'er's home is in Jiangyan City, and the Liu family in Jiangyan City ......"
"What's wrong with Yue'er? Brother is going to send you home, why don't you seem to be very happy?" Hu Lin saw the pitiful little expression on Yue'er's face, and hurriedly asked.
Unexpectedly, Yue'er's mouth pouted higher, and she said in an aggrieved voice, "After my brother sends Yue'er home, are you going to leave Yue'er with Mei'er?"
Hu Lin never expected that the little girl would have such thoughts in her heart. It's no wonder he couldn't think of it, after all, the little girl had only been with the little fox for a few hours, and no one could have imagined that she would be so reluctant to Mei'er.
After secretly blaming the little fox in his heart, he said to the little girl softly, "Brother wants to stay in Jiangyan City for a little longer, and Yue'er can often come to see Mei'er when the time comes." ”
When Yue'er heard this, her face turned better, and she ran to the bed to play with the little fox in her arms. Hu Lin couldn't help but feel a big head after seeing it, and it would probably take a lot of effort to leave the little girl with the little fox in the future. He shook his head slightly, sorted out his mood, and took out all the items he had found from Yue Xiaoshan.
Hu Lin kept putting things on the table, and the monk saw that these things belonged to Yue Xiaoshan, and asked suspiciously, "Master Hu, I don't know what you are doing with these things?"
"Of course, let's see if there is any information about the Yue family in Jiangyan City...... Unexpectedly, this Yue Xiaoshan is still a small rich man, with more than 10,000 gold coins alone. Monk, this Yue Xiaoshan was killed by you, and they belong to you after I see it. Hu Lin said as he carefully examined a few items on the table.
When the monk heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not! Money and treasures are things outside the body, and they are not beneficial to cultivation, so Master Hu Shi ......will accept them by himself."
Hu Lin raised his head and looked at him with a strange expression, and said, "Don't you need money to drink wine and eat meat?"
"Monks go out to travel and practice, and food and lodging are all based on the generosity of good people, and they don't need money......" After speaking, the monk also looked at Hu Lin with a serious face.
After Hu Lin saw his expression, his face was covered with black lines and said, "Is it so easy to be a monk? You must know that it doesn't cost money to eat and live in a hotel, and I should also get a bald head, and it will save me the trouble of getting money everywhere......"
At this moment, the little fox jumped on the table and said to Hu Lin, "Young master, it seems that the money in your hand was given by others, and it didn't take much effort...... It turned out that Yue'er's little girl had fallen asleep on the bed, and the little fox joined the conversation between the two.
Hu Lin glanced at the little fox angrily, and said, "Stinky girl, Lao Tzu's money was also obtained with all his might, but it was not as easy as you said...... After speaking, he ignored the little fox and carefully checked the items on the table.
The little fox jumped on his shoulder, staring at the monk with a wary expression, and it seemed that it was still a little worried about the monk's desire to temper himself. Facing the little fox's vigilant eyes, the monk looked at Hu Lin indifferently. At this time, there was no sound in the entire room except for the sound of Hu Lin fiddling with things.
After a long time, Hu Lin raised his head, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he said, "It seems that this Yue Xiaoshan is just here to kidnap Yue'er, and he only has some weapons, pills, and other things with him. This "Xuanyin Demon Sutra" should be the exercise he cultivated, monk, can you see if this exercise can cause the demon face behind your back to move?"
The monk took the book and looked at it, and it didn't take long for him to shake his head and say, "The little monk looked at the scriptures in it, and it didn't cause the demon face behind him to move. It seems that the demon face behind me should have nothing to do with the Xuanyin Old Demon recorded in the scriptures...... What does the donor want to do with this magic scripture?" After speaking, he handed the book back to Hu Lin.
Hu Lin thought for a moment, then pushed back the hands of the monk and said, "Monk, it is up to you to decide what to do with all the items here......
The monk didn't even think about it, he directly put the Demon Sutra between his palms and rubbed it vigorously, and the Demon Sutra instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the air. The monk then said, "The rest of the belongings will be disposed of by Lord Hu Shi at will......," and after speaking, he found a bed and sat on it to sit up.
Seeing that he was so indifferent, Hu Lin put his things away. Then he picked up the little fox and sat on the only empty bed, and began to practice the "Void Sutra".
At the same time, in a house in Jiangyan City, a series of messy footsteps broke the original tranquility here. A man dressed in servant clothes hurried out of a room with messy steps.
The man stood outside the door and said urgently, "Master!
"Come in......" A steady voice came from behind the door, and the man hurriedly pushed the door in after hearing it.
In the evening, the room was dimly lit, and a glimmer of the setting sun shone through the window on a bookcase. There was a person sitting behind the bookcase, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, looking mysterious and abnormal.
After the man closed the door, he immediately knelt down in front of the bookcase, didn't even dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Qi Qi family master! The villain just discovered that the demon soul mark in the little young master's demon soul crystal has disappeared...... After speaking, he raised his hands above his head, holding a crystal crystal (Demon Soul Crystal: A bizarre crystal that can contain the Demon Soul Mark or Soul Mark, and if the Mark in the crystal disappears, it proves that the person who integrated the Mark is dead.) )
The man behind the bookcase stretched out his palm and bent his fingers slightly, and the oval crystal flew directly into his hand. The man took a closer look, and shouted angrily, "Who killed Xiaoshan?!"
The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't know...... The villain only knew that the little young master went out this time to kidnap Liu Haiming's youngest daughter...... I don't know anything else......"
"Oh, since Xiaoshan's death is related to the little girl of the Liu family, it will be easy to do. Inform the secret guard to pay close attention, the person who entered the city with the little girl of the Liu family! Xiaoshan is also bold, and he dares not to listen to my dissuasion, hum!"
"Yes!" the villain immediately informed the Dark Guard...... The head of the family, the villain has one more thing to report......"
"What else?"
"Qiqi family master, the eldest young master's demon soul crystal has disappeared......"
"Well, you don't think it happened, don't let anyone else know......!
"Do as the master of the house commands!" After saying that, the man bowed and bowed and withdrew.
After the door was closed again, the mysterious man had an extra demon soul crystal in his hand behind the bookcase. Unlike the previous one, there was a demon face in this crystal, a hideous demon face with a swirl in its mouth. The man stared at the demon face in the crystal and muttered, "Qingshan, my son, what happened to you?" It is because of this demon soul mark that you refuse to go home, is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to ?...... your father?"
At the same time, on a piece of ruins in the far north of the Tiankui Empire, a young man in a black robe with a cloak was staring at a section of ruins in a daze. Located in the extreme north of the Tiankui Empire, this place was originally a magnificent ruin, but one day nineteen years ago, this ruin was turned into ruins for some reason.
The black-robed man, who had been staring at the ruins for a long time, finally spoke, "Six years ago, it was here that I accidentally got that ring and the Devouring Demon Sutra. Although the ring is gone, it has allowed me to obtain the Demon Soul Mark of the Devouring Demon Ancestor, and I have been able to spy on the mysteries of the Devouring Demon Sutra...... Fu Bo, the demon shadow in your body should be the Devouring Demon Ancestor, is everything here caused by you nineteen years ago......" If Hu Lin heard the voice of this black-robed man, he would definitely be surprised, because this person was Yue Qingshan.
Yue Qingshan stopped for a while, then left with a long shadow. At this time, the place is too desolate, and the shadows of the ruined walls lie neatly on the ground, and the afterglow of the setting sun can no longer shine on the former glory of this place.
Early the next morning, Hu Lin and the monk called the sleepy Yue'er and the little fox, and after breakfast, they left the drunken immortal building and walked towards the outside of Wuqiao Village. According to the map, on the way from Wuqiao Village to Gangam Fortress, you have to pass through a huge forest before you can reach the town where people gather.
Yesterday, Hu Lin and the monk Buxiu inquired about it during dinner, and learned that this forest was a necessary place for Wuqiao Village to transport red iron and sycamore wood, so there were many robbers and bandits and other forces that made a living from robbery. In order to avoid trouble, the two decided to get up early in the morning and pass through the forest as soon as possible. So after the two walked out of Wuqiao Village, they began to run wildly.
In this logging season, ordinary bandits and robbers will not attack rashly at all, lest they provoke some big convoys and bring disaster to their own groups. But there is such a group of bandits, they have not made a living for several months because they have no reliable sources, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that they will break up. Their leader, Green Wolf, had no choice but to decide that he had to do it today, and Green Wolf said that he didn't want the team he had worked so hard to build to break up like this.
"Big brother, do you think we can have a job today?" asked a scar-faced boy who was ambushing in the woods.
At this time, the young wolf was sitting under a rock, playing with a white egg, which was the size of a head. Because the Scarface Kid's voice was not small, the green wolf was so frightened that he almost dropped the egg in his hand to the ground. The green wolf slapped the scar-faced boy fiercely, and said, "Whisper to Lao Tzu! No matter what, we have to rob a sum today, otherwise our Green Wolf Gang will disappear from now on......"
"yes...... I haven't made a living for a few months, and a few of the boys below have begun to complain......" A burly middle-aged man walked up to the green wolf, with a little helplessness in his tone.
The green wolf patted the burly middle-aged man on the shoulder and said, "Hey~ Manniu, I hope I can meet a small caravan today to make a fortune, so that not only can I calm the morale of the army, but I may also have spare money to recruit troops and buy horses." If you want to gain a foothold in this forest, you must ......"
At this moment, a small minion ran up to them and said, "Tell the helper, there is a situation five miles ahead." The spies came to report and found two young men of eighteen or nineteen running towards us, one of whom was holding a little girl in his arms. ”
The green wolf frowned, and his intuition told him that there must be oil and water on these two people, so he said, "Let them in, and the bow and arrow will serve!"
At this time, Hu Lin and the monk were running wildly in the forest, and the speed of the two of them was not covered, and they had already run through one-third of the distance of this forest in half a day. Hu Lin, who was running wildly, suddenly turned his head and whispered, "Monk, something is wrong here......
Hearing this, the monk raised his eyes and quietly nodded at Hu Lin. Seeing the monk nodding, Hu Lin said to Yue'er in his arms again, "Hold your brother's neck tightly, don't let go!" After speaking, he let go of Yue'er with both hands, and a long stick appeared in his hand.
At that moment, countless arrows rained down on them. The two of them swung their dancing sticks and blocked all the flying arrows from their bodies.
The rain of arrows stopped, and Hu Lin shouted into the woods, "Why, the thief should not show up soon!"
