Chapter 24: Cottages
Last time, he spent three hundred fate points to improve his basic sword technique, and now that more than a month has passed, an average of ten fate points are consumed every day, and he only has more than five hundred fate points left, and it won't be long before he bottoms out.
Without the shielding breath of fate points, the world consciousness will soon be able to lock Gao Cheng, and when the time comes, he will not have the 10,000 fate points needed to open the door of fate, and he will have no way to go to the sky and enter the earth, and he can only be bombarded into slag by the world consciousness.
"You can't practice behind closed doors anymore, you must find a way to get fate points right away!" Gao Cheng immediately made a decision, he sent Xiao Er away and then went back to the courtyard to eat.
In the afternoon, he quickly packed up all his salutes, put away the spear and iron bow, hung the long sword at his waist, rode on his horse and left Zhongnan Mountain and ran towards the north. It takes time to save people, and killing people is crisp and neat, and the time consumed is the shortest.
Gao Cheng has a bottom line in his heart, naturally he will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and his target when he goes north this time is the robber of Crouching Tiger Mountain who killed Xiao Lucheng. Eradicating these robbers can not only solve their urgent needs, but also avenge Xiao Lucheng by the way.
Wohu Mountain is located in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the mountain is high and the forest is dense, there are often mountain thieves and bandits here, Gao Cheng galloped wildly and soon came to Shanxi.
Shanxi was called Bingzhou in ancient times, the mountains and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the left Taihang, the right big river, the south is connected with Meng, Huai, and the north passes the Shuo desert. There is also Beiyue Heng Mountain standing here, from ancient times to the present, mountain thieves and bandits are endless. Since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, this thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have been ruled by the Jin State. On the eve of the end of the dynasty, the rule of officials was corrupted, and many people who could not survive threw themselves into the mountains and forests, and were absorbed by the bandits who occupied the mountains and forests.
After Gao Cheng came to Taiyuan, he did not go directly to Wohu Mountain, but went to the city to inquire about the information of the nearby bandits. His strength has skyrocketed now, and he has surpassed ordinary Jianghu experts, but after all, he is still flesh and blood, and it is difficult to get out of being surrounded by hundreds of bandits. Only by preparing in advance can you avoid encountering danger.
The place where the news spreads the fastest on the rivers and lakes is the inn, especially the inn's Xiaoer, who often hears the boasting and discussion of those people in the rivers and lakes, and is the most well-informed.
"Crouching Tiger Mountain is the largest cottage in Taiyuan, there are nearly 1,000 bandits, it is said that the owner of the cottage is Peng Lianhu, who is known as the thousand-handed slaughter?
After Gao Cheng got the news of Wohu Mountain, he sighed in his heart. The thousand-handed man Tu Peng Lianhu is also a good player in the Condor World, and his strength is stronger than the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. In addition, this person is ruthless and meticulous, even if a first-class master is not careful, he will be planted in his hands.
However, for Gao Cheng, it was time for the thousand-handed man to slaughter Peng Lianhu! Peng Lianhu was strong in martial arts and had many minions under his command, which meant that the power of fate in his body was far beyond ordinary people. Kill this person and you will get a lot of fate points.
After resting in the city for a long time, Gao Cheng led the horse out of the city and ran in the direction of Wohu Mountain.
......
In the mountains and forests, there are more than a dozen bandit minions standing or sitting to rest, and the messy weapons are placed on the ground casually, and several of them are gathered together, listening to a man with yellow teeth. The man looked lewd and laughed as he spoke. Distracted by the ears of a few bandits not far away.
"Lao Huang, how many times have you bragged about this matter, ah? You are not annoyed that we are all annoyed, aren't you just robbing two women when you go down the mountain with the owner of the village?
It was a burly and strong man who spoke, he had a big axe in his hand, and he looked extremely fierce with a horizontal face, and the thief who was called Lao Huang suddenly stopped talking, and said with a smile: "Boss, the old problem is committed, this is all an old problem! Don't you know what I'm capable of? If it's a striker, it will kill me!"
The burly man snorted coldly, his eyes swept coldly over him, this old Huang retreated when he encountered danger, and ran faster than anyone else when he encountered benefits, if it weren't for the fact that he was an old man in the cottage, he would have secretly done this old guy.
Especially thinking of the last time he went down the mountain with the owner of the village, this old guy actually robbed two women, and got more benefits than himself, which is really unfair to God.
"Boss, look, there are people below, still riding horses, should we go down and make a vote?" At this time, a thief saw Gao Cheng under the mountain and hurriedly shouted.
The burly man lifted the axe in his hand, walked to the front in three steps and two steps, and looked down, his face beaming with joy. said: "This man and horse have iron spears and bows and arrows on their backs, and they look like cavalry in the army, not like people who are mixed with the rivers and lakes." This guy looks so handsome on his horse, and if he gives it to the owner of the village, he will definitely get a big reward!"
"Brothers, come to buy and sell, come with me!
The burly man, the leader of a dozen minions, called his men up and ran down the hill with his axe.
When more than a dozen thieves rushed down, Gao Cheng had already spotted them, a sneer appeared on his face, and he stopped his horse, and at the same time took off the iron tire bow beside him, ready for battle.
"Boy, Lao Tzu is a person from Crouching Tiger Mountain, if you know each other, hand over the horse, otherwise, today next year will be your death day!" The burly man had a fleshy face, and his eyes showed a trace of bloodthirsty killing intent. After blocking the mountain road, he licked his lips, looking extremely fierce.
Gao Cheng's eyes swept away, and these dozen minions each showed a fierce light, and it seemed that they were all bandits who had killed people, and killing such people was also to eliminate harm for the people.
"A group of scum, more than innocent death!" he snorted coldly, pulled out a few iron arrows, and several iron arrows broke through the void in a row, and roared into black light and shot through the heads of the bandits in front of him. The burly man was the most conspicuous, and was deliberately targeted by Gao Cheng and was shot to death first. As soon as Gao Cheng made a move, he was simply sharp and never wasted time.
"Oh no, it's a sharpshooter?
"The boss has been killed, everyone go back to the cottage quickly, the owner of the village will definitely be able to kill this kid to avenge the boss!"
The remaining minions saw the leader killed before they could make a move, and they were immediately frightened, turned around and ran in the direction of the cottage, among which Lao Huang moved the fastest, like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, he ran into the mountains and forests.
Gao Cheng's movements were unhurried, his face was calm and waveless, his legs clamped and urged him to step forward, lifted the iron gun and stabbed all the bandit minions who had no time to escape, and then tied the war horse to a big tree, holding a bow and hanging a long sword in his hand, and chased in the direction of Lao Huang's escape. He was about to go to the cottage in Wohu Mountain, and someone led the way in front of him to save him from searching again.
Half an hour later, he saw in the distance a cottage sitting on the edge of two mountain peaks, with dozens of bandits patrolling the wall. The guards are fairly tight.
