Chapter 22: Drifting with the Water

Hand the bag of pills that had fallen aside before to Zifeng, and let her refine it by herself, Qingfeng Lan sat on the side to protect the Dharma for her, waved his hand and motioned to a few people on the opposite side to sit down and talk, those people looked left and right, and knelt directly on the ground and shouted: "Please save our children!"

"Okay, okay, don't shout, I've said it all, if it's easy, I'll save it, sit down and say. ”

Several people remained on their knees, motionless, shouting only to save their children.

Qingfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "I'll count to three, if I don't talk well, I'll leave now!"

"One!"

"Two!"

As soon as a few people heard this, they immediately got up and sat down, and when they saw a few people sitting down, Qingfeng Lan asked, "Let's explain the cause and effect in detail." ”

The person who took the lead in the request before cleared his throat and said: "My lord, we are all from the nearby villages, although we used to be outside the Saiwai, but we still enjoy the blessing of the empire, and there are almost no cottage bandits in this area, which can be regarded as a paradise." But in recent years, the empire's patrol team outside the fortress has not been seen much, three years ago one day, the patrol team has not appeared again, and then not long after, a caravan came to the village, saying that the town prison city should strengthen the armament, so it is necessary to purchase ironwood, in recent years, a lot of imperial favors, the people in the village did not think much about it, so they handed over the ironwood stored at home, but what we didn't expect was that the next day they came again, and asked us to hand over the ironwood for the same reason, and after saying no to them, they began to search around the village, taking away all the remaining ironwood, and threatening us not to hand over the ironwood tomorrow, and kill the whole village. Many people secretly left the village that night, but the next day, the group of bandits captured them all and cut off their heads in front of all of us. Speaking of this, everyone bowed their heads, and this paragraph of things that they didn't want to mention was still shocking when they remembered it again.

"Are you sure they're bandits pretending to be caravans?

The leader shook his head desperately: "It's not an army, absolutely not, the city lord of the town is a very good person, if he wants ironwood, there is no need for this, as long as an order is given, our whole family is willing to cut down ironwood, why do you need this." ”

Qingfeng Lan couldn't understand why the bandits had such a great demand for Ironwood, and nodded to continue.

"They searched the village for a long time, and they didn't find a single piece of ironwood, which was originally intended to kill all of us, but one of them came up with the idea to imprison our children, and let us go into the mountains immediately to cut down ironwood, and those who didn't go would kill our children, and the person who came up with the idea was Chen Ming!" After saying that, the man's eyes revealed endless anger, but after a while, it turned into sadness that he had more than enough strength to do it.

Qingfeng pointed to the little boy not far away: "Isn't that boy from your village, why wasn't he kidnapped?"

Hearing Qingfeng's question, the man's face turned red, and his teeth squeaked, "That child's father was greedy for life and afraid of death, and became Chen Ming's lackey, so his child was released, I can understand that he wanted to save his child, but he killed my child in front of me!! he was obviously behind Chen Ming, why didn't he kill Chen Ming? Why?" he stood up excitedly as he spoke, his eyes widened, the bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, looking like he was going to eat people. Zifeng had just refined an elixir and almost cried when he opened his eyes and saw this scene.

patted Zifeng's head lightly, and spit out two words without the slightest emotion, "Sit down"

The people around were originally a little excited by the person, but when they heard these two words, they instantly sobered up, and the person who was still angry just now heard these two words, and his reason occupied the peak, and he knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry, my lord, it's me who lost my temper." ”

Qing Fenglan didn't say anything more about this matter, and continued to ask, "Haven't you tried to resist?" Although Chen Ming is stronger than you, so many people will not be held hostage by a few bandits. ”

"My lord, these people are all at the level of spirit possession, in this remote area outside the Saiwai, spirit possession is already at the peak, and even if there are more than a dozen of us, we are not Chen Ming's opponents. ”

"All of them are in the realm of spirituality?"

"Yes, all of them are in the realm of spirituality. ”

Qingfeng Lan turned his head and glanced at Zifeng, Zifeng looked at himself blankly, Qingfeng Lan thought about it carefully, since he arrived in the village, the old woman rarely appeared, but from Zifeng's mouth, I learned that the old woman rarely disappeared, isn't she a bandit? Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out all over his body, there have always been two unidentified people around him, and for such a long time, he didn't find out at all, the whole village had already observed, but he didn't check the situation of those two people, this kind of low-level mistake should not be made, then there is only one possibility, their realm is much higher than their own. As soon as this idea came out, Qingfeng Lan immediately made a decision.

"Is the convoy full of bandits?"

"Yes, but there are also people from other villages who have volunteered to join the bandits. ”

"Do you know where they are now?"

The man pointed to the river behind Qingfeng Lan and said, "As long as you follow this river, you can see them as soon as you come out of the forest, and they will pick up Tiemu downstream." ”

After getting the specific address, Qingfeng Lan stood up directly and said: "I'll help you deal with everyone in the downstream convoy, as for where the children are, and how to deal with the people left behind in the village, that's your business." After speaking, he pulled Zifeng up.

The person who took the lead before spoke up: "My lord!"

Qingfeng Lan looked back at the people behind him, and a message was revealed in his eyes, who would dare to say more than half a word, die!

The people behind him were scared half to death, no one dared to say a word, Qingfeng Lan directly took Zifeng to the river, looked at the riverside There were already some inflated air bags, and directly took Zifeng to jump on the air bags, these air bags can transport iron wood, and there is no problem at all to sit on two people.

After sitting on the airbag, Qingfeng Lan directly turned on the detection technique and probed the surrounding environment, only to find that there were several large beasts around, which seemed to be the reason why no one dared to come here to cut down.

Zifeng's timid voice sounded from behind Qingfeng: "Why don't we help them?"

"Everyone has things they have to face, we can help them for a while, there is no way to help them for a lifetime, all I can do is help them to reduce the level of difficulty. We have other things to do, we can't waste time now, we need to get into the town as soon as possible. ”

The timid voice came again, "Why are we going to Helltown?"

Qing Fenglan only then remembered that his tone seemed to be a little heavy, and he looked back at Zifeng, who was shrunk into a ball, and said with a smile: "Because I want to take you around the city and buy something for you." After speaking, he patted Zifeng's head again.

Zifeng didn't ask again, Qingfeng Lan closed his eyes, thinking carefully about the recent events, first helped his sister deal with the group of imperial soldiers, and after sending his sister away, he was inexplicably unconscious, and when he woke up again, he met Zifeng, and there were two top masters around him but he didn't realize it, and the town prison city purchased a large amount of ironwood, what is this for? All kinds of information can't be contacted at all, but it is certain that something must happen.

It seems that the plan is now going to be implemented in advance, and there are only two places to protect Zifeng at present, the first is the Hidden Buddha Temple, but that will put my sister and master in danger, and the other place is the imperial capital, let her return to her father.

Thinking of this, she glanced back at the girl behind her, the girl's eyes widened and looked around, there was no fear in her eyes, and Qingfeng prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the emperor would be a good father.

The two were speechless, sitting quietly on the airbag, until late at night, they saw a glimmer of light in the distance, and before they got closer, they heard the sound of singing and laughing, and looked at it, it was really the group of people taken away by Chen Ming, drifting closer, a person sitting by the river drinking alone saw Qingfeng Lang, and was about to make a sound, but found that he saw a headless corpse sitting next to him.

Because Zifeng's realm was too low, he didn't see that a guard had been killed by Qingfeng Lan not far away.

The airbag floated to the shore, and Qingfeng gently patted Zifeng's head: "You just stay here and don't leave, the next thing is not suitable for children, and I will come back to pick you up after it is over." With that, he turned and jumped ashore. Zifeng sat on the airbag very obediently and did not make a sound.

"Brother Chen is so interested!"

The sudden sound made everyone who was originally singing and dancing stunned, and they all looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a figure slowly walking out, when walking out of the darkness, Chen Ming was stunned at first, and then the corners of his mouth raised: "How did you find here? How did you get through this wood? ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Chen is really magnanimous, such a small thing can surround me from dying, I thank Brother Chen in advance. ”

"You guys, go and arrest him, and ask him how he got here, and the others search for a woman nearby, and arrest me as well. ”

"Brother Chen, don't be in such a hurry, we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you want me?

Chen Ming ignored it completely, and the people around him also thought that this guy was crazy, lying in the car sickly all the way, and now he doesn't know how to get out of the forest and come here to pretend to be a big brother. A group of people rushed towards the breeze.

After a moment, everyone crawled to the ground, and even the flames on the side seemed to be suppressed by something, and the flames were obviously not so vigorous.

Chen Ming looked at the person not far in front of him in disbelief, who slowly walked to the opposite of him, sat down and picked up a skewer of barbecue meat and ate it.

"In addition to killing people, Brother Chen's barbecue skills are also good, what about me? I am entrusted by someone to deal with you, but you and I have no grudges, so I won't kill you, but your cultivation is better to disperse." After speaking, Chen Ming only felt the pain of his body tearing, and the next moment all the bones in his body were shattered, and all the bones of everyone around him were shattered, none of the bones were complete, and many people fainted in pain, Qingfeng Lan glanced at Chen Ming in front of him, but he didn't expect him to be a hard bone, and he didn't faint.

Chen Ming used his last strength to ask, "Who are you?"

What Qingfeng Lan didn't expect was that Chen Ming's bones were broken, and he would actually ask where Zifeng was, it seemed that they were the same group of people who tortured the mysterious predecessor host to death back then. The uncle said that the bandits only appeared three years ago, but what was the reason for that eighteen years ago? What made a group of bandits build a village? And what made this group of people start cutting down iron wood three years ago? There are too many mysteries in this.

Qingfeng Lan smiled slightly: "The people you said are dead, go to sleep, be good." ”

Hearing that they were all dead, Chen Ming's face was full of disbelief, but the next moment he fainted directly.
