Liu Cheng usually climbs up and down the construction site, and he still has a handful of strength, and the stick almost used the strength to eat milk, but he hit the air, fell to the ground and fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud, turned over and saw the other party cut in the head, hurriedly rolled a donkey to dodge, looked up and saw that the bandit leader was too big, and the machete was embedded in the horizontal branch of the pine tree behind Liu Cheng, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Liu Cheng knew in his heart that if he let the other party pull out the knife, he would only have a dead end with his three-legged cat kung fu, so he hurriedly yelled and pounced, holding the bandit leader by the waist. The leader of the bandits took off his machete, and the two fell to the ground and rolled together. Rao is bandit leader has a lot of strength, but Liu Cheng's height of 1.78 meters and his weight of almost 80 kilograms also made him panting. When he finally pulled out his hand, he was about to give the other party a few hard blows, when suddenly his neck was numb, his whole body convulsed, and he passed out foaming at the mouth.

"No matter how high your martial arts are, you're afraid of kitchen knives, and your martial arts are too high for electric shockers?" Liu Cheng got up from the ground out of breath, and poked the bandit leader a few times with the electric shock device in his hand, and twitched a few more times as the white and blue electric sparks flashed the bandit leader's body. Liu Cheng wasted a lot of effort to get the knife down from the tree, and then made a few strokes on the bandit leader, but he still couldn't do it, and finally decided to tie it with a belt and leave it to the Huineng monk to dispose of.

Outside the woods, Huineng and the two strongmen were about to decide the winner, and the two men were forced to stumble by Huineng, and they scolded their companions for not even being able to clean up a passer-by for half a day. Suddenly, there was an abrupt shout in my ears.

"Zen master, work hard, I've already cleaned up that guy!" Liu Cheng stood aside proudly, holding the bandit leader's saber and horned bow in his right hand, but holding his pants in his left hand, looking very funny.

The two strongmen were too late to be surprised at this time, where could they laugh, Huineng was even more energetic when he saw this, and the Zen staff in his hand shook and picked, and he had already knocked the saber in one person's hand to the ground, and the man turned around and ran. Huineng knocked down the remaining one person with three strikes and five divisions, took out a rope from his arms and threw it on his head a few times, and when he let go of his fingers, he only heard a whooshing sound, and the strong man who had run more than 20 meters away screamed and fell to the ground and did not move.

"Good skills, good martial arts!" Liu Cheng, who was watching the battle, was dazzled and applauded, but his pants collapsed, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, awkwardly leaned up, handed over the horn bow and saber, and said a little proudly: "Huineng Zen Master, I caught a live mouth, and the people were tied up in the forest, this is his weapon." ”

Liu Cheng finished boasting, but he didn't hear Huineng's answer, and saw that the other party's eyes were staring at the bandit lying on the ground, and his face was extremely gloomy. Liu Cheng looked at the ground, and suddenly felt a surge in his abdomen, and almost vomited his dinner. It turned out that the bandit had an iron rod on his head, and his brain burst out, and the red and white were mixed together, and he had long since run out of breath.

Liu Cheng took a few deep breaths, and only after a long time did he press down the sour water in his throat. Looking at Huineng's appearance, he thought that the other party regretted committing the killing precept, and comforted him in a low voice: "Master Huineng, if you don't kill them, they will kill you and me, and punishing evil is doing good, and the Bodhisattva will definitely forgive." ”

Huineng listened to Liu Cheng's comfort, and explained with a wry smile: "The poor monk is a wild monk, he has already broken the door, he dances with knives and canes on weekdays, and there are more than a dozen lives in his hands, so how can he be sad for killing a few thieves who block the way." Speaking of this, he leaned down to pick up an object and handed it to Liu Cheng: "Look, what is this?" ”

Liu Cheng took it and took a look, but it was a wooden plaque, with an unknown beast engraved on the front and the serial number of the stem branch engraved on the back, and he couldn't see what it was, so he shook his head: "I don't know, but it looks like it should be something that proves identity." ”

"Well, that's good!" Huineng nodded: "This is the waist card of the Ming sergeant, these three should all be the Ming sergeant, you see-" Huineng leaned over and picked up the deceased's waist knife, and sure enough, there was an inscription produced by the Ming military department at the swallow of the knife.

"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, how can they block the road and rob?" Liu Cheng was startled, he instinctively remembered the saying mentioned in the villain book when he was a child, "thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates", and he couldn't help but gasp in his heart. He instinctively looked around, as if dozens of Ming soldiers would suddenly jump out of the woods on both sides of the road.

Huineng looked at Liu Cheng's appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly: "You don't have to worry, these three people should be in the army, and there should be more than ten miles away from the team, these three people have been cleaned up by us, and we don't have to worry about the team behind us for a while." ”

"Why don't we see another person? Maybe it's a deserter, maybe the waist card was picked up on the road? Liu Cheng asked with the hope of what happened, as soon as he crossed over, he encountered this kind of thing that hit his spirit quite hard, and he instinctively looked for a life-saving straw.

"You have a point!" Huineng nodded, and the two walked to the other corpse, only to see that the guy fell to the ground, there was already a hole in the back of his head, and a pebble stained with red and white things fell aside, Liu Cheng stood aside, watched Huineng grope on the deceased for a while, turned out a piece of the same waist card, and the faces of the two became more and more gloomy.

"There's still a living mouth in the woods, why don't we go and ask him?" Liu Cheng looked like a gambler with his pocket turned up after losing, looking at the last card that had not been turned over. Huineng didn't speak, and strode into the woods.

When the two entered the forest, they saw that the bandit leader was rolling around on the ground, trying to break free from Liu Cheng's belt, and when he saw Liu Cheng and Huineng, he scolded: "Two bald donkeys, don't untie Lao Tzu quickly, otherwise when the soldiers arrive, they will cut off the two bald scoops on your shoulders to make a urinal for Lao Tzu." ”

"What is this?" Huineng took out the wooden card and shook it in front of the bandit.

"I'm afraid!" The bandit leader showed a smug look on his face: "Lao Tzu is the general manager of Yansui Town, and he won't let Lao Tzu go!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Liu Cheng with slanted eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what demon method is used, which makes Lao Tzu numb!" “

"Wait!" Liu Cheng stretched out his hand to stop Hui Neng, he didn't care whether the person in front of him was a Ming official or not, anyway, he had already offended, so he couldn't let it go rashly, he saw that although the bandit leader was not convinced, he was still very afraid of the electric shock he had just given. So Liu Cheng took out the electric shocker from his purse, shook it in front of the bandit leader's face in his sleeve, and pressed the button suddenly, only to see the blue-white electric sparks flashing out, making a crackling sound, and the bandit leader sitting on the ground was so frightened that he moved back four or five steps backwards, and shouted in his mouth: "Demon law, demon law!" “

"Don't tell the truth yet, or I'll let you taste it again!"

The prestige of the bandit leader was immediately dispelled by the terrifying phenomenon that he had never seen before, and Liu Cheng and Huineng got quite amazing news from his mouth: the bandit leader's surname is Du Minggu, and these three people are indeed the Ming Dynasty official army, and they are the Yansui town soldiers of one of the nine border towns, to be precise, "once" is the Ming official army. In October of the second year of Chongzhen, the Houjin army entered the Kou from the Zunhua gap, and the Ming army was defeated in successive battles, and the Beijing division was in danger. The imperial court had to issue an edict asking each town to send troops to Qin Wang, and Yansui Town was no exception, selecting elite soldiers to rush to Beijing. However, due to the arrears of wages in various towns for many years, and the local prefectures and counties in Beijing withheld supplies, many Qinwang soldiers mutinied and returned to their hometowns. They were one of them, about two hundred people, and these three were the outposts.

"Our team is used to fighting the old army of Xilu, and it is to go to King Qin, although the number is not much, but the swords, guns, armor, bows, crossbows, shotguns, three-eyed guns and all kinds of firearms are complete, although the great monk you have excellent spells, I'm afraid you are not an opponent, it is better to let me go, wouldn't it be better to go to the side of the road?" Although Du Chengdu softened, there was still a bit of arrogance on his face, obviously quite confident in his own strength.

"Shotguns? Three-eyed guns? Furlong machine? Liu Cheng's face turned pale all of a sudden, don't look at the criticism of ancient firearms that he published on the Internet before he crossed, belittled them as garbage that is not much stronger than simple cold weapons, but it is one thing to sit in an air-conditioned room and put a cannon at the computer screen, and it is another thing to be on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, you must know that no matter how much garbage hits people, those things will kill people, who knows if the protagonist's aura can block bullets.

Liu Chengzheng was pondering how to persuade Hui Neng to run away with him, but he heard Hui Neng whisper next to him: "Master, let's take a step to talk?" ”

Liu Chenghui was able to step aside, Liu Cheng was about to speak, but he saw Hui Neng solemnly folded his hands and bowed to himself.

"Master, Hui Neng has something to ask for, and I ask you to agree."

"Great monk, don't call a mage, I don't feel comfortable listening to it!" Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "I'm not a monk at all, you can call me Liu Cheng." ”

"Not a monk?" Huineng looked at Liu Cheng's head suspiciously: "Then what's the matter with your hair?" ”

Liu Cheng reacted at this time, according to the customs of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, unless it is a monk, the Han people are all crowned with hair, the body hair and skin are subject to their parents, and cutting hair is unfilial. Great monk, now that you and I are friends of life and death, let's just say anything about it."

"I see!" Huineng nodded: "I ask you to help me save the lives of a village!" When Huineng said this, he saw Liu Cheng's confused look, so he explained in a low voice: It turned out that this Huineng was a wandering monk, and there were several lay disciples who lived in a village about ten miles away from here, and he just came out of this village. According to the confession of the spies who had just been captured, the purpose of this group of rebels was to bypass the heavily guarded Tongguan Pass and return to their hometown of Shaanxi through this mountain road. These soldiers are usually bound by strict military discipline and have a lot of resentment, and once this restraint is broken, due to their military skills, the destructive power that erupts far exceeds that of ordinary bandits. They had no government supplies along the way, so they had to rely on plunder to obtain supplies, and there was no military discipline.

"Brother Liu, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention the more than 300 lives in the whole village, how can we sit idly by. If you have such a spell, please come with me. “

"This-" Liu Cheng instinctively wanted to prevaricate when he heard the word "spell", but when he saw Hui Neng's earnest look, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. Seeing that Huineng's tone is going to that village anyway, he is a modern person in this deep mountain and old forest, even if he doesn't meet those rebels, I'm afraid he will die of thirst and starvation, he must be inseparable from him, since he wants to go anyway, it is better to agree to be happy and settle a favor. Besides, when it comes to that village, the most important thing to do is to tell the villagers to hide in the mountains, and these rebels will not stay here for long, and how much risk can they have? Thinking of this, Liu Cheng pretended to be righteous and Ling Ran: "

The great monk Mo said, I agreed! “

Huineng was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank him, but he heard Liu Chengdao: "But I have a saying in the front, this spell is taught by the ancestor, that is, it is a self-defense thing, and it is useless if the blood and qi rush on the battlefield." ”

"It's okay!" Hui Neng smiled and said, "Presumably, Brother Liu will not only have this kind of spell. ”

Looking at Huineng's hopeful eyes, Liu Cheng didn't know what to say for a while, and finally had to smile bitterly: "It's one, it's two, let's get on the road quickly!" “

So the two men threw the two bodies into the forest by the roadside, and then tied the bandit with a rope and hurried to the mountain village, which was very difficult to walk, and when the three men arrived at the village, it was already dark. This is a mountain village called Yujiazhai, and there are more than 100 families in the village, all of whom have the surname Yu, except for a dozen or so people who have migrated from outside. Most of the village is located on a sunny hillside, and there is a half-ruined gatehouse at the entrance of the village. Judging from the original size of the village, it was inhabited by much more people than it existed, but for some unknown reason the village was destroyed. At this time, the houses in the village were full of ruins and open spaces, all of which were overgrown with shrubs and weeds, sealing off many paths and wellheads, which looked a little seeping. To the left outside the wall is the cliff; To the right is a large pine forest that stretches to the bottom of the slope, and the mountain road is located at the junction of the hillside and the valley floor.

The arrival of Huineng and Liu Cheng broke the tranquility of this small village, and soon the desperate cries of women were heard in the village, and the men shouted loudly at their women, only the young and ignorant children did not know what they were about to face, and were still doing their own games.
