Speaking of which, Xu Niu can be this protector, it can be regarded as a coincidence, that day, Xu Niu had nothing to do, went into the city to hang out, but when he came back, he was a little late, he walked halfway to relieve himself, so he went into the woods next to him, but just half of the pee, he heard a scream not far away, so frightened that Xu Niu put the remaining half, all urinated on his pants.

At this time, it is almost dark, although this is not a barren mountain, but it is already deserted, in this case, most people's reaction should be whether it is a person or a ghost, after all, it is not a good thing, where it doesn't matter, the first reaction is to turn around and run.

But Xu Niu is not, poor is changing, Xu Niu has already been extremely poor at this time, and bold, at this time, what he was thinking about was not how to escape, but whether there were robbers who killed people and sold goods, whether he wanted to go and pick up some cheap.

After people are poor to a certain point, they don't take their lives seriously, Xu Niu gambled a lot, holding the mood of getting rich overnight, did not retreat but advanced, and quietly touched the direction of the screaming sound.

It was already late, the woods were darker and quieter, people couldn't help but tremble in their muscles, their hairs stood up, Xu Niu carefully walked forward a distance, his heart couldn't help but be cold, and he cherished his little life, he couldn't help but retreat, hesitated, and wanted to turn back, but this turn, his feet slipped a little, and his mouth couldn't help but make a scream, Xu Niu only heard a low whistling in front of him, and wanted to run, but he couldn't run, a few steps of kung fu, he had already been caught up, and a steel knife was on Xu Niu's neck.

Xu Niu is known as a scoundrel, but in fact he is a lazy man who doesn't like to work, where has he ever seen such a formation, he couldn't even walk all of a sudden, and was dragged to the place where he screamed just now.

With the only glimmer of light, Xu Niu saw at this time that there were four big men standing here, all holding steel knives, staring at each other, and on the ground, there was still a person lying on the ground, covered in blood, unable to move.

A big man saw that he found Xu Niu in the woods and asked, "What should I do with this person?" ”

The leader said: "Forget about killing together, there is not much of this one." ”

In this era, robbers in the wild kill people, compared to killing a chicken, Xu Niu heard that his life was taken by this big man in a sentence, almost frightened to faint, but I don't know that Xu Niu's luck came, Xu Niu shouted: "And slow down, I am willing to follow all the adults, up the mountain and down the grass, and hope to leave a small life for me." ”

These people are all murderous characters, where do you care what you say, kick Xu Niu down, and you are going to cut off Xu Niu's head, at this time, a big man next to him stopped the big man holding a knife, and said: "Let's do it slowly, this person keeps it, maybe it will be of some use." ”

The leader asked, "What's the use?" ”

The man said: "Now the protector of this piece is incompetent, and he dares to sneak away after cheating some money, and now he is caught by us, and it will be forgotten if he is killed, but there is still a lack of a protector in this area, I think it is better to ask this person how it is, if he can be this protector, wouldn't we save it and find someone else." ”

The leader looked at Xu Niu and said, "Just him?" I can also teach Dharma protectors. ”

The man said: "This Gaoyang County is too remote, there is no oil and water to fish, this Dharma protector does not need any talent, as long as we recruit some believers, it will be enough, if he is even the worst, it will not be too late to kill when the time comes." ”

The leader nodded, let go of Xu Niu, kicked and said, "You get up, I have something to ask you." ”

Xu Niu had already been frightened and dazed, resigned himself to death, and suddenly escaped death, and suddenly did not react, he was confused, and he didn't know what to do.

The leader kicked Xu Niu again and said, "It seems that this person is a fool, just kill it." After speaking, he was about to draw his knife, Xu Niu finally came to his senses at this time, turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to several big men, and said: "Thank you grandfather for showing mercy to his subordinates and sparing the villain's life." ”

The leader looked at Xu Niu and snorted coldly: "You don't have to thank me first, I haven't said that I won't kill you, I'll ask you a few questions first, and if you answer well, then talk about your life." ”

The world is big, the life is the largest, Xu Niu knew that these people in front of him were playing really, and suddenly they were honest and didn't dare to move, the first person began to ask, from Xu Niu's place of origin and name, family background, current address, professional hobbies and other questions asked, Xu Niu didn't dare to do anything to hide, answered one by one, and then, Xu Niu knelt on the ground and couldn't hear any sound, I don't know how a few big men communicated, and I didn't know whether what was waiting for him was a cut down steel knife or an order to pardon, he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of the moment he looked up, just in time to see the steel knife that was chopped down.

Now Xu Niu, I only feel that the seconds are like years, the time passes so slowly, and I don't know how long it has been, these big men are obviously satisfied with Xu Niu's family situation, and the leader kicked Xu Niu and said: "Count you lucky boy, your blessing is here." It was only at this time that Xu Niu knew that his life was saved and he could see the sun tomorrow.

Death is not necessary to die, but it does not mean that Xu Niu can go home, Xu Niu knelt on the ground, and the leader asked: "Xu Niu, do you know my Maitreya Buddhism?" ”

Xu Niu hurriedly said: "I know Buddhism, but I have never heard of this Maitreya Buddhism. ”

The leader said: "Since you don't know, I'll tell you that my Maitreya Buddhism is the Great Sect of Hebei, replacing Shakyamuni Buddha and Buddha, a few of us, all of whom are King Kong in the teaching, just because this protector absconded, so a few of us came to arrest him, and now that he is dead, you will take over his position, how about doing this protector?" ”

Although the tone of the leader is an inquiring tone, but what a fool also knows, if he dares to say a word at this time, I am afraid that it will be the end of the corpse immediately, Xu Niu kowtowed like a chicken and broke rice, and said: "Yes, willing." ”

The leader said: "Don't just say it, come, if you want to be this Dharma protector, I want you to do something." ”

Xu Niu said: "As long as the grandfather says it, the villain will definitely die." ”

The big men laughed, pointed to the bloody man who fell to the ground, and said, "In that case, you can chop off this man's arms and thighs." ”

……

This is what happened, of course, when Xu Niu was talking to Xu Deshan, he naturally erased the paragraph about doing it himself, and the others were basically true, after that, those big men gave Xu Niu pills, scriptures, etc., and secretly helped Xu Niu recruit believers, and saw that Xu Niu's ability was not bad, and then left, but every once in a while, I came to see how Xu Niu's development was.

Xu Deshan listened, gasped, and asked, "What do those big men look like, why are they so arrogant." ”

Xu Niu said: "Those big men, each of them is strong and strong, but when they appear, they are all secretive and difficult to describe. ”

Xu Deshan said: "This, this, you didn't deliberately make it up to scare me, right?" ”

Xu Niu said: "Why did the third prince say this, this is true, why should I lie to you, if not, where did my pill come from." ”

Xu Deshan muttered, "How can this be. ”

Xu Niu saw that the first look was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Third son, I treat you as a relative, so I told you these things, you must not say it, otherwise I will be in trouble." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Don't worry, I won't say it, I still have some things, go first, don't work far away." ”

Xu Niu said: "Why is the third prince leaving, you said before that you would give me money, protect my safety, and make a big vote with me, this, this..."

Xu Deshan shouted: "Brother, now you are my brother, you have said that your King Kong is so powerful, where do I dare to unite with you, I am too late to escape, in this way, what I came to you today, as if it never happened, don't tell me, what if they find me in the middle of the night, no, no, you are amazing, I admit it, this business will be given to you in the future, I can't quit." ”

Xu Niu's face suddenly became ugly, it turned out that Xu Deshan spared such a big circle, he was playing with himself, he first drew a good-looking cake for himself, and in the end, not only did he put out his secret, but he didn't even give himself the cake to eat, how can this work, the action is not polite, and the eyes that look at Xu Deshan are also a little unkind.

After all, Xu Deshan is only a five-year-old child, if Xu Niu really has a bad heart, I am afraid that he will not even have room to struggle, and he will be able to put himself to death, Xu Deshan hurriedly touched his body, threw out a piece of silver casually, and said: "Brother Niu, this matter is considered that I am sorry for you, you take this silver first, and if it is not enough to spend, I will leave first." ”

After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he pushed the door and ran, Xu Niu picked up the silver thrown by Xu Deshan with an unkind face, and padded it, the silver was afraid that there would be ten taels of silver, if it was usual, he picked up ten taels of silver in vain, I was afraid that he would not be able to earn so much in a few years, but now Xu Niu took this silver, but he felt a little hot, and he didn't know whether he should want this silver or not.

Holding the silver in his hand for a long time, the joints of the straight grip were white, and he was almost bleeding, Xu Niu suddenly let go of his hand, and said ruthlessly: "This Xu Deshan, if he is really rich, he will throw out ten taels of silver casually, hum, today you tricked me, you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you, I Xu Niu has been poor all my life, if I can live a rich life for two days, it is worth dying, and your Xu Deshan's life is different, how can ten taels of silver be enough to buy it back, now you are gone, and I will go to your Xu Mansion at night." ”

Not to mention that Xu Niu started his ghost thoughts, only said that Xu Deshan, out of Xu Niu's house, went straight to his own house, this time Xu Niu's trip, but it was beyond Xu Deshan's expectations, although Xu Deshan had long known that Xu Niu could develop and grow in such a short period of time, and there must be someone behind him, but Xu Deshan really didn't expect that the person behind this could be vicious and unscrupulous in such a way, and this was the first time Xu Deshan came into contact with the concept of a dead man in his life, although the dead person had nothing to do with Xu Deshan, But when Xu Niu said this, Xu Deshan couldn't help but think of the scene of the steel knife and the corpse buried alive that day, and he seemed to be immersed in the scene, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

Xu Deshan returned home, locked himself in his room, and it took a while to ease up, calm his emotions, and try his best to think about the ins and outs of this matter, but even if Xu Deshan was prepared, every time he thought of the situation of the dismemberment of the corpse that day, Xu Deshan's thinking could not continue.

After struggling for a long time in such a bad reincarnation, Xu Deshan gave up, thought about it, went out, shouted, and called Gao Mang next to him to his room.

Waiting for Gao Mang to come in and sit down, Xu Deshan got up and poured water and tea for Gao Mang, this situation, Gao Mang was a little familiar, and couldn't help but cover his money bag again, but if he looked closely, Xu Deshan did not look like he was asking for money, but his face was heavy, as if he had encountered something that he had never encountered before and was difficult to solve.

Gao Mang naturally knew that ordinary things would be difficult for Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan's appearance, and he also called himself in and linked him, Gao Mang couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said that it wouldn't be just a day, Xu Deshan would break his dagger, Gao Mang hurriedly asked: "Little boy, this ...... But what's the problem, well, is my dagger okay? ”

Xu Deshan knew that Gao Mang still felt sorry for his dagger, and said: "Your dagger is still here, don't worry, I called you this time because I wanted to ask you something." ”

Gao Mang was relieved to hear that it wasn't his dagger that was broken, and said, "Little boy has something to ask, but it's okay to say." ”

Xu Deshan said: "You have been a soldier in the border army before? ”

Gao Mang replied cautiously: "Yes, I didn't tell you before, I used to be a soldier in the Jing'an Army. ”

Xu Deshan asked, "Since you have been a soldier, have you ever killed someone?" ”

Speaking of this, Gao Mang suddenly came to his senses, suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked yearning, and said leisurely: "Be a soldier, we don't know those soldiers in Tokyo, but when we are border soldiers, although we are eating for a while, but in this border place, next to the northern Tartars, there are robbers and bandits everywhere, I have been a soldier for six years, I have been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the bandits who have been exterminated are countless, on the battlefield, if you don't kill people, people will kill you, how can you not kill people." ”

Xu Deshan nodded and said, "Then what does it feel like when you kill someone." ”

Gao Mang said: "Now in this world, every winter, you can see people who freeze to death on the street, kill people on the battlefield, what's so special, when it comes to killing, at first killing, on the battlefield, where is there time for you to think more, seeing that there are fighting and shouting around you, and the knife in your hand falls, you will kill a person, and then I think about it, and I am a little cold in my heart, but I have killed it once, and after a few days, I have thought about it clearly, I have adapted to it, and when I kill again, I don't feel anything, It feels no different from killing some livestock, and in the end, I became a veteran, looking at the recruits around me, and even some of them want to rush to kill people, showing off their skills, when looking at people, they always aim at people's necks to see how to cut the knife happily and neatly, sometimes I even think, is killing really addictive......"

Gao Mang said happily, inadvertently glanced at Xu Deshan, but saw Xu Deshan looking at himself, his brows were furrowed, as if he was a little unhappy, Gao Mang was suddenly startled, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how can the boss ask, what he has or not, he will say it, and the rest is okay to say, but only the matter of killing people, although it sounds majestic, it is actually not very glorious, you think, the current scholars, one by one, morality and etiquette, even quarrels have to be harmonious, even if the Liao State Xixia bullied the head, It is also as much as possible not to use swords, killing is not recognized by the mainstream view, will kill, either the devil in the army or the gangsters, especially if he is not in the army now, he is to take care of the family and the hospital, let alone kill people, if the family knows that they are addicted to killing, how can they continue to leave themselves in the house to do things, in case the addiction of killing people comes up in the middle of the night, wouldn't it kill everyone in the house.

Thinking of this, Gao Mang regretted it, although Gao Mang knew that Xu Deshan was extraordinary, but in this matter, Gao Mang didn't know what Xu Deshan's idea was, in case Xu Deshan was angry and expelled himself from Xu's mansion, he still had to live on the streets, and he didn't even have a place to live.

Gao Mang looked at Xu Deshan carefully, thinking that if Xu Deshan was angry, he would be able to give himself a round if he said something, but Xu Deshan was silent for a while, raised his head, looked at Gao Mang very seriously, and said, "Since you have killed someone, what ...... Would you like to do something with me? ”

Gao Mang was stunned for a moment, and guessed the meaning of Xu Deshan's words thousands of times in his heart, but in the end he came to only one answer, that is, could it be that Xu Deshan asked himself to kill him?

Killing, no matter when, is a big taboo in human society, if it is placed on the battlefield, it is impossible not to kill, and it can be covered up with oneself, but if it is placed in society, a person who kills people will not only be arrested by the official, but also endure the discussion of others, unless he goes up the mountain and falls into the grass, he must be isolated from the people, alone, wandering in the world, and enduring loneliness.

There are countless people who retire from the border army every year, how many of these people have some lives in their hands, but once these people go home, most of them live honestly, and rarely hear that there are people who cause trouble and kill people, and although Gao Mang is helpless and wandering, but no matter when, Gao Mang has never thought about killing people in the mountains and forests, seizing wealth, and getting rich overnight. Very happy.
