219 I Didn't Care (4,000 words)
"Three hundred taels?"
The bandit leader who was carrying the nine-ring broadsword on his shoulder looked cold.
"There are no five thousand taels today, don't think about the past of you people. ”
He glanced at Zhao Peng disdainfully and continued.
"A martial artist in the meat training period still needs to make up three hundred taels, don't you think I'm so fooled?"
"Five thousand taels is too much, we really can't take it. ”
Zhao Peng looked embarrassed.
Just now he said that he would make up three hundred taels for the robbers in front of him, which is indeed an exaggeration.
But this black and rough bandit leader lion opened his mouth widely, and he asked for five thousand taels when he opened his mouth, and they really didn't have it.
On this trip, they escorted Wang Yuelian back to Gyeongju Province, and they didn't bring so much silver with them at all.
This time it's not a question of whether they want to give it or not, but they really can't take it.
But Wang Li didn't believe what Zhao Peng said at all, and said with a fierce expression.
"Five thousand taels is the money for your group's life, if you can't take it out, you will die here today!"
"Three thousand taels. Zhao Peng said tentatively.
"It's just five thousand taels! You don't want to live if you don't have one tael!" Wang Li seemed to be determined to ask for five thousand taels.
"Friend, don't deceive people too much!"
Zhao Peng said with an annoyed expression.
"We really can't take out five thousand taels!"
"That's unfortunate, you're all going to die here today!" Wang Li said with fierce eyes and murderous intent on his face.
Zhao Peng let out a breath, wanting him to be jealous, but it also made him understand the truth and truth, and he was sure to take someone to win this team.
After killing these people, all the money is theirs, and they save themselves from bargaining and talking here.
"Fat powder?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, Wang Li sniffed vigorously with his nose, his face changed, and a touch of obscenity flashed in his eyes.
"There's a woman in that carriage behind you!"
Zhao Peng's expression tightened, and he secretly said in his heart.
Martial artists in the meat training period, whether they have a sense of smell, hearing or vision, are far beyond ordinary people.
But it was the bandit leader who smelled Wang Yuelian and the maid in the carriage behind them.
Now it's even harder!
Zhao Peng's face was ugly, and he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, secretly ready to fight.
The other robbers heard Wang Li's exclamation, brandished the swords in their hands, and let out one strange cry after another.
A few people who were protecting the carriage looked nervous, and they all pressed their hands on their weapons.
Wang Yuelian and the two in the carriage, although they didn't understand what was happening outside, they were very scared when they heard the robbers screaming.
Just when the two sides were tense and about to break out into a big battle, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
A man in a black robe and a valiant appearance came on horseback.
Li Qiu passed by the carriage and felt a little familiar, and then saw Zhao Peng and the others, and recognized that this was the group he had just met at the inn.
But he didn't pay attention to it, and passed by the convoy directly, hitting the horse and rushing to Wang Li and the others.
"Boy, the people over there are robbers, dangerous!"
Someone in the convoy spoke and reminded Li Qiudao loudly.
As if he hadn't heard, Li Qiu kept beating his horse and came to Wang Li a few steps, riding on the horse condescendingly, looking at Wang Li indifferently.
"Get out of the way. ”
Wang Li's eyes flashed fiercely, and he laughed angrily.
Knowing that he was robbing the road, he didn't give half a tael of silver, and dared to ask him to make way, was it really bad to treat him with a knife in his hand!
"Is this kid stupid!" Zhao Peng frowned and shouted.
"Boy, stand back!"
"Stand back?" Wang Li heard Zhao Peng's words and sneered: "It's late!"
As soon as the words fell, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to swing his knife and slash at Li Qiu!
The heavy and hideous nine-ring broadsword in Wang Li's hand had just been raised.
Li Qiu's expression was cold, his pupils shrank slightly, and he released a terrifying momentum that pressed towards Wang Ligai like the raging waves of the sea!
Wang Li's face turned pale, the nine-ring knife he was holding froze in the air, a heavy fear appeared in his eyes, his hair stood on end, and his muscles trembled.
He felt as if he was facing a raging sea, and the next moment it seemed as if he would be smashed to pieces by the mighty sea.
He had a premonition that this knife must not be cut, and if he cut any further, he would die.
With a very strong premonition, Wang Li felt that the shadow of death had enveloped him.
When he slashed this knife, he took the initiative to step into death.
Wang Li, whose mind was affected by the distance, was full of fear of Li Qiu, his face was pale, his limbs were weak, and he put down the knife in his hand tremblingly.
Wang Li was apprehensive in his heart, and looked at Li Qiu with a frightened expression.
Li Qiu's expression was indifferent, and he spit out two words coldly in his mouth, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
"Get out of the way!"
Wang Li's body trembled, and instinctively hurriedly got out of the way.
Then, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at the robbers, and ordered with a panicked expression and a trembling voice.
"Quick...... Make way for this one!"
Wang Li had never seen the most powerful martial artist but a strong bone stage martial artist, he had never seen a martial artist in the Cultivation Stage and a Martial Artist in the Blood Condensation Period, but he knew that Li Qiu, who had released such a terrifying momentum, was definitely a powerful existence that he could not provoke, and he was afraid that one hand could kill him as easily as pinching a worm to death.
After Zhao Peng and the others released their momentum in Li Qiu, they immediately felt a chill down their heads, and they felt that what was in front of them was not a person but an ancient fierce beast.
Yang ...... Uncle Yang, that person ......" There was a person behind Yang Peng, with a frightened expression, and his voice trembled and pointed at Li Qiudao.
Zhao Peng's expression was a little sluggish, his eyes were full of horror, and he said.
"With such a powerful momentum, at least he is a martial artist in the Dirty Cultivation Period!"
"Martial artist in the dirty period?!"
Several people looked horrified, they had only heard about it, they had never seen such a powerful martial artist with their own eyes, and they didn't expect to see it in this situation.
"That man was eating with us on the second floor not long ago, only a table away, and we used to be so close to a cultivator of the Dirty Cultivation Period......"
Zhao Peng's expression also moved slightly, he remembered that he had gone to drive away that Gongzi and his subordinates just now, and he had hardly looked at Li Qiu from beginning to end, and he didn't pay much attention to him.
"He's just too young. ”
"It's unimaginable to have such strength at such a young age......"
More than 100 robbers saw Wang Li's extremely frightened appearance, and felt the terrifying momentum emanating from Li Qiu's body, they all stood trembling in place with fearful expressions, and even unbearable people couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands and fell to the ground.
In the carriage, I heard shouts outside, and suddenly stopped.
Wang Yuelian and the maid carefully opened the curtain and looked out curiously.
"What's going on over there?"
The maid looked nervous and whispered to the people next to the carriage.
"It's the guy who just dined with us on the second floor of the restaurant!"
Not long after the incident, the maid frowned slightly, and easily remembered the rude guy, but she didn't understand what the other party was doing when she mentioned Li Qiu.
But the man continued.
"The one in front is that person, he is actually a martial artist in the cultivation period!"
"Martial artist in the dirty period?!" the maid was surprised.
Although she doesn't practice martial arts, she has also heard about the cultivation period.
Generally, the warriors in the city are only in the strong bone period, and only a few big cities in a state will have the warriors in the dirty cultivation period.
That's a big guy who usually only exists in rumors and is rarely seen.
But how could the rude young man in the restaurant be a martial artist in the dirty period?!
The maid was a little hard to believe.
"Martial artist ...... during the dirty period"
Wang Yuelian, who was on the side, heard this, a flash of shock flashed in her eyes, and she muttered in her mouth.
She suddenly understood why Li Qiu acted as if it hadn't happened to him at that time.
Even if she didn't ask Zhao Peng to drive away those people, what trouble could she cause to Li Qiu, who was a martial artist in the cultivation period.
He's probably not taking that to heart at all......
Hearing Wang Li's order, more than 100 robbers woke up like a dream, moved the two trees as fast as they could, and made way for the road.
Li Qiu did not fluctuate and rode away.
Wang Li, who was pale and covered in cold sweat, looked at his back with fear in his eyes.
At this time, Yang Peng and the others suddenly moved, and they followed behind Li Qiu, wanting to pass the road.
"They ...... in charge"
There was a bandit leader with an angry look and wanted to step forward to stop Yang Peng and the others.
"Don't move!"
Wang Li hurriedly stopped him in fear.
"Master?" the robber leader looked puzzled.
Wang Li's expression was fierce, but there was fear in his eyes, and he whispered to him.
"Let them go, don't attract the attention of the plague god!"
"Who can guarantee that the plague god will not see the road uneven and help him!"
"If there is the slightest possibility, we will all die!"
Wang Li thought that just now he raised his knife at Li Qiu, Li Qiu did not kill him, and he had picked up a life from Li Qiu's men.
Now he didn't dare to make the slightest move, for fear of attracting Li Qiu's attention again.
"Money can be earned at any time, and saving your life is the most important thing!"
"Yes, the master. ”
When Yang Peng was moving the trees, Yang Peng realized that this might be an opportunity to get out.
They can take advantage of Li Qiu's power to pass through this place.
Just like when a tiger passes by, the wolf is afraid of attracting the tiger's attention and does not dare to prey on the roe deer in front of him.
He told everyone to get ready, and as soon as the two trees were moved and Li Qiu rode his horse, they immediately followed Li Qiu.
In this way, Yang Peng and the others followed Li Qiu with trepidation and passed the road.
Then, they didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled as quickly as possible.
The carriage was so jolted by the stones on the road, and Wang Yuelian and the maid dangled in the carriage, hitting the plank for the first few times, and they did not dare to complain, because they knew that they were fleeing for their lives in embarrassment.
has been traveling for half an hour, and has escaped a long way, Yang Peng and the others slowed down.
Everyone's tense minds gradually relaxed, and their faces showed the joy of the rest of their lives.
"Uncle Yang, that ...... Is Warrior-sama still there?"
"I want to thank him in person for saving our lives. ”
Wang Yuelian opened the curtain, her face was slightly red, and she said with a grateful tone.
Yang Peng's expression froze, although they were speeding all the way, but because they had to accommodate the speed of the carriage, Li Qiu, who was a fast horse alone, had long since disappeared.
"Miss, with that lord's far superior hearing, it is impossible not to know that we passed through that place with his might, but the lord has gone without the slightest pause, and obviously does not care about this matter at all. ”
"Don't you care at all?......" Wang Yuelian's eyes became a little dark, and she muttered in her mouth.
......
Li Qiu, who was galloping on the road on horseback, had no fluctuations in his face.
What had just happened through that stretch of road, he didn't remember at all.
Like what happened in the restaurant, it was nothing more than a trivial episode in his eyes.
......
After another two days of traveling, Li Qiu finally reached the place where the fierce monster was.
Huaiwon City, one of the many small cities in Gyeongju.
In the north outside the city of Huaiyuan.
Li Qiu leaned on his horse and looked into the distance, and a mountain village shrouded in thick fog appeared in his eyes.
This is a dilapidated mountain village that has been abandoned for a long time.
This mountain village, which has not been set foot for a long time, is a forbidden place within a radius of 100 miles.
According to local legend, this is a ghost village inhabited by a thousand-year-old ghost, and once inside, no one can leave it alive.
There are many brave people who want to go in and find out and prove that there are no ghosts at all, but they all use their lives to prove the weirdness and horror of this mountain village.
Every time someone goes missing, it makes the legend about this mountain village seem more real and believable.
But every time as time goes by, there will be people who do not believe in evil and have the courage to walk into this mountain village, trying to prove that there are no ghosts in it, and in the end, without exception, they never come out again.
In fact, in this mountain village, there is indeed an abnormality, but it is not a thousand-year-old ghost, but a fierce monster.
The map of the Sky Survey Division not only describes this fierce and strange ability, but also roughly describes the cause of its death.
Because of the weird ability, it usually has something to do with how it died.
Before the village was abandoned before an accident, there was a drunken scoundrel in the village.
One night he and his fox friends drank until late at night, drunk as usual.
When I came home at night, my mind was not clear, so I mistook the pigsty for a house and slept in the pigsty.
His pigs had not eaten for several days and were mad with hunger because he was not diligent in taking care of their daily feedings.
So by daybreak, the scoundrel had been transformed into a corpse, which had been gnawed and mutilated by his pigs.
Soon after his death, that scoundrel turned into a strange person, with a pig-headed human body, a big mouth full of fangs, and a very strong defense around his body, and a non-blood condensation stage warrior holding a divine weapon could not be injured.
After becoming weird, it kills the entire village and eats all their corpses.
Because of its existence, this mountain village has gradually become a forbidden place within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the people have terrible legends.
Li Qiu tied his horse to the side of the road outside the mountain village, and walked towards the mountain village shrouded in thick fog alone.
In fact, when you look at it from a distance, it feels like the fog is very large, adding a bit of a weird and terrifying atmosphere.
But when he got closer, he found that the fog was not so big, and with Li Qiu's far beyond ordinary people's eyesight, he could clearly see anything within tens of meters.
It was only when I got closer that I found that the village was dead silent, and I couldn't hear anything.
In addition, the surroundings shrouded in fog were all gray, and the strange and terrifying feeling did not decrease but increased.
In the dilapidated mountain village, Li Qiu walked alone into the depths of the fog......
