Chapter 1139: Bandits
Among all the girls, the strongest experience in pretending to be a ghost is Chen Shuozhen. This is incomparable to anyone, but people are fooling a large number of believers into rebelling. directly said that she was the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth, known as the Holy Mother of the Red Heaven. The mana is boundless and unpredictable, and it can summon gods and generals to serve ghosts.
This is so mysterious, but there are really so many people who believe it.
And if it is about the qualifications of pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, who can compare to Daji? In terms of its own temperament, if you don't look at the face, it is actually a little fairy, quite holy, that is, as you grow up, the pretty face becomes more and more charming, so that it forms a sense of contrast. But basically, as long as she is outside, Daji must cover her face, either a hat or a veil, and she will not be easily looked at.
In this way, there is naturally no such contrast, and holiness is even more foiled.
After the incident, the fox's ears and tail shook and wagged, eh, if you don't know, you don't believe that she is a 'human'.
As for the fox spirit or something, the development of the Great Liang world and the history of China are actually similar. In the early days, it was auspicious, and it slowly gradually transformed into a derogatory meaning. But even if the fox spirit has become a derogatory term, the status of some aspects will still not be shaken, for example, the Qing Dynasty once prevailed in the 'Five Immortals', and the fox fairy is the first.
At this time, Daliang is not all derogatory, it is probably an existence that people love and fear. Fear is naturally able to inhale yang energy and harm people, and there has always been no shortage of stories and legends about this kind. On the other hand, among various rumors, many good things have been done, such as the unscrupulous corrupt officials in a certain place, and the people hate them to the core, but there is no way to do it. Then a vixen came out, turned into a beauty, and teased this corrupt official in various ways. This kind of story is naturally a joy for the people.
Another example is a thief in a certain place, who robs the rich and helps the poor, but in fact, he is transformed by a fox spirit, specifically for the rich to help the people. There is no shortage of such stories.
In fact, regardless of whether it is true or false, whether it is love or fear, there is always one word, 'fear'.
In ancient times, productivity was low, science was low, and many things could not be explained. Human beings have always had a certain fear of the unknown. So don't say that the current Liang is not all bad for the fox spirit, even if it really comes out, in the absence of a so-called master, it is difficult for ordinary people to do anything to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Besides, Daji doesn't have a special aura?
"Lang Jun has never liked to pretend to be a god and fool the people, but at this moment, the situation is special, there is no other way, Xiang Yuan will not blame, after all, we are doing great things." Cai Yue cleaned up and dressed up Daji over and over again, and chattered over and over again.
"Yes, yes, how to say that, the starting point is good, the result is also good, and you don't have to care so much about the process." Daji nodded. In fact, they are all self-comforting, Zhou Shaoyu is still disgusted with this aspect in general, otherwise when the early incident occurred, it would have developed directly in the form of sect development, which would have been much faster.
Daji is dressed in white, which is more holy, and the conditions are limited at the moment, otherwise she will definitely dress more luxuriously. Even if they rode a horse, they temporarily set up a simple sedan chair, and the group went straight to the village.
"I am the fairy fox under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, because I feel that the world is constantly strife, the people are pitiful, and I am specially ordered to ......" On the road, Daji silently recited the lines, which is the setting.
In order to prevent accidents, not all of them went, but ten people were left far away to prevent changes.
However, in the end, I thought too much.
The village is remote, and there is no city nearby, if you don't take the waterway, you have to go over the mountains and mountains to walk dozens of miles just to go to the official road, and the waterway has always been the water to plunder, and it is good to fish nearby, but no one dares to go far away. If it weren't for the fact that in the early years, a down-and-out scholar was seriously injured by bandits and fled for his life here, and then married a wife and had children to settle down and teach some students, I am afraid that even a literate person may not have it. That's it, it was many years ago, and now, the most knowledgeable people in the village belong to the kind who can't recognize all the words.
Without knowledge, without understanding the outside world, it generally means ignorance. The true and false stories are stupidly unclear. As soon as Daji's image stood there, the big white tail wagged, and he didn't need to say anything, and the strong man in charge of the guard behind the fence knelt directly. Immediately afterwards, the whole village was naturally a sensation, and after a while, they came out to kowtow, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
Good guy, this also made Daji, who had prepared a few so-called 'immortal methods', dumbfounded, that's it? Seemingly, it's a little too simple. Of course, to be on the safe side, the halo is open......
This is simply a BUG, although not everyone will be affected, but most of them have become a little fanatical, in the end, they are ordinary people, and how can they resist so much.
According to the original plan, he won the trust of the village, and then joined forces to fight against the bandits hidden outside the village. Now that the first step has been reached, the next step is naturally the second step. It's just that there was another accident!
Since the bandits plan to loot this place are still in ambush not far away, naturally someone is staring at this place, Daji and his party entered the village, and there was such a big movement, it is impossible not to know, more importantly. Although there were only ten people around him, all of them were strong, far from being comparable to those hungry and thin bandits. Looking at the equipment again, there is a long knife at the waist, a bow and crossbow at the back, and everyone has a valuable war horse, although the number is small, the deterrent power is still quite good.
As soon as this matter was reported to the leader of the bandits, the leader was shocked, where did this come from? Then I thought about it, and my eyes became brighter and brighter, but I wished that the other party was as big as possible.
At this moment, before it was dark, Cai Yue and Daji began to gather the strong men in the village to arrange defenses, I don't think this is just the beginning, there are many figures in the distance outside the village, take a look, isn't it the bandits of the one hundred and fifty people? Actually came at this time?
How is this good, this is just the beginning of the layout, and it is still a mess.
"You guys hurry up and delay by firing arrows at the fence, and I'm stepping up the time to arrange and assign the task blade." Daji flicked his tail and immediately made arrangements for ten guards to contain him first.
Even if they are all elites, it is inevitable that they are a little nervous at the moment, since they are guards, their main responsibilities must be protection, and they have not really been on the battlefield in essence. Blocking one hundred and fifty bandits at this moment is somewhat bottomless. And then......
"Don't let the arrows go!" Seeing that he was about to enter the shooting range, a bald man jumped out among the bandits, dressed in tattered monk's robes, with a ring scar on his head, and he looked quite young, estimated to be in his twenties. "I heard that a noble person came to visit here, and the poor monk Fa Shante led the crowd to join him."
Huh? Coming to the run? Didn't you come to attack the village? It's not the same as the script that was promised. Also, why is the leader of a bandit a monk!
After that, in order to show his sincerity, this monk will turn his head and shout: "Wait for the moment to quickly drop the blade and raise your hands, do not resist, and obey the disposal of the nobles." ”
Not to mention, it was really prestigious, and no one hesitated about such things, and they honestly threw down the knives, guns and sticks in their hands, among which there were many farm tools, sickles, hoes, and so on.
Rao is like this, and no one is so big-hearted to believe it directly and let it go, so he first let this monk understand the situation in the past, and when he came, he told a story.
"The poor monk Fa Shang was originally a disciple of the Cloud Curtain Temple in Shayun Mountain, sixty miles west of here......"
The story is not ordinary, as an abandoned baby and then picked up by the people of the mountain temple, he became a monk when he was young. If there are no accidents, there will not be too many twists and turns in this life. However, the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and Jingzhou will not be able to escape in the end.
At the beginning, Sun Shouyi was still here, sitting in Jiangxia, in charge of Jiangxia Sailors, and suppressing Yun Mengze strongly. During this period, it was also the time when Jingzhou had the fewest bandits. After Sun Shouyi and his brother Sun Shouren went north to resist the Turks and died on the battlefield, Jiangxia Saiman's control over Yun Mengze fell sharply. Soon, Jingzhou Water Kou was rampant again.
The 150 people brought by Fa Shang were not bandits, but ordinary people from various villages, who fled to the Yunlian Temple for refuge in the middle of nowhere, because they were looted by the water bandits, and at that time, it happened to be the first time when Jingzhou broke out in war. In fact, the number of people who came to take refuge was far more than that, I am afraid that there were more than 500 people.
Although the Cloud Curtain Temple is in the deep mountains, there are a lot of troubles, but the fame is still there, there are always some big family believers who come to the incense and pray for blessings from time to time, it is not poor because the Cloud Curtain Temple is not poor, on the contrary, it is also very rich. Under the accumulation of perennial years, there is no shortage of silver money and rice grain.
There is no shortage of it, and it cannot withstand the daily consumption of hundreds of people. In fact, it was not consumed much, except for the distribution of gruel on the first day, and there was no indication in the next day. At that time, the abbot thought that this case could not be opened, so what if it was taken in? What should I do when the rice and grain in the temple are exhausted? At that time, it was said that there was no rice and food, and if it was not good for these refugees, they would not believe that they would make trouble. Moreover, the news of the detention here has spread, and I am afraid that more people will come.
The truth does make some sense, but it seems to be ruthless, which makes Fa Shang very puzzled and puzzled, what about the so-called 'saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter'? If you don't save yourself when you die, what about virtue and Shang?
Almost every day, people starve to death and die of disease, but perhaps because of the reverence for the temple and the gods and Buddhas, no one made trouble. But when the water robbers outside are still ravaging and there is war, there is also nowhere to go, so they can only nest here and find a way to dig grass roots to survive as much as possible.
However, there is a tipping point in everything, but more and more people are dying, and naturally some people can't sit still. First, someone was caught stealing grain, and then there was a direct conflict. In the process, Fashang's mentality also changed.
I didn't say anything specific, but it was probably like I didn't go to hell and who went to hell, and then I stood on the side of the refugees after trying to persuade them to no avail, and then, it was chaotic. In short, the Cloud Curtain Temple was destroyed, but the remaining people did survive. Then, unconsciously, he gradually turned into a bandit.
"Is there a Buddha in the world? If so, why not open your eyes and take a look. Does the Buddha really have its form? If not, then why does the Buddha ......?" said Fa Shang in his own confusion.
If Xiao Meiniang, who is good at Buddhism, is here, I am afraid that she can talk about it, but whether it is Cai Yue or Daji, they don't know anything about this thing, and as for Qi Ji, she doesn't know it, anyway, she is confused.
But it's not important, the important thing is that Fa Shang also knows that it's wrong to be a bandit, it's not a long-term solution, it's not a way out, so he wants to take everyone to find a way out, but unfortunately there has been no way, and now he feels that Daji and his party are very in line with this standard, and ordinary people can't get such neat equipment, so they came.
"It's not that we have fallen into the grass, but so far we have not killed innocent people, and the grain looted in the past was all obtained by other bandits...... Fa Shang swore and promised.
At this moment, the three sisters were also embarrassed, and they originally planned to fight to save the village, but at this time, the bandits came directly to vote! What's going on, take it in? They are in a state of running away, so what can they take in? Don't charge? Sooner or later, he will become a scourge, even if he has never done anything to loot the village before, but he is not ready to do so today?
Slaughtered? Seemingly, it's not appropriate?
"Why don't you write a letter and let them go to Xiangzhou for resettlement? With the ability of your sisters, such a trivial matter could not be simpler. Cai Yue proposed. This proposal was also unanimously agreed.
But he was not in a hurry to say it directly, but said: "This matter is not difficult, how many of you have it, let's arrange it together." ”
I thought that there would not be many more, so I just waited for the next day to come and deal with it properly and then went north again, who wanted to take a look at it the next day, hissing...... Not to mention inhaling the cool air, my teeth hurt.
"This, how many people are this!?" Daji's little face turned white.
Fa Shang's expression was also a little strange, to be honest, he was not confident whether Daji was a human or a demon, or an immortal. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "The poor road plus the old and young women, there are only more than 200 people, but ......"
But they can't stand it, and they go out to grab it after eating all the rice and grain in the Cloud Curtain Temple. Grab a village? At that time, I really couldn't do this kind of thing, so I focused on the weak bandit forces, and beat them down wave by wave, naturally gathering some people, which is why this group still maintained this number after some casualties. But more, I don't know what's going on, and they become vassals, although they still act independently, but strictly speaking, they are their people.
Then the crowd began to continue to rob the bandits, and the bandits around them were all robbed, not to mention, and basically became their own people.
And at this time, it was also difficult. This place is very remote to the east of Yunmengze, and most of the bandits or water gangsters here were unwilling to join and escape when Ange unified Yunmengze. Even if they all gather together and become a gang, they don't have the ability to go back to fight for Yunmengze, and Xiangzhou in the south doesn't dare to go, Xiakou in the north, and Wuchang in the east also have heavy troops, so they still don't dare to go.
Seeing that there was almost no food, there was no way to do it, and he was ready to rob the village. Robbing and robbing, but not wantonly burning and killing, probably coercing, forcing them to join the gang, and handing over all the rice and grain, it is a bit of a snowball, and it is also a proper hope to quench the thirst of the plum, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
No matter what, anyway, all the bandits of this generation have come over, and they are all gathered here, to accept or not to collect? That's a problem. As for how many, huh......
