Chapter 2: Ringing Horses

"It's the dog who is back, which makes the young man smile..."

The village chief said.

Yang Fan walked out of the door with the village chief and saw a pair of twin brothers walking in.

The two look in their twenties, and their appearance is eight or nine points similar, which is relatively high among the twins.

Dirty, with a bamboo basket on his back and a hoe in his hand.

The two of them looked very honest, and when they saw Yang Fan, they said, "Dad, there are guests at home?"

"This is Yang Shaoxia," said with a smile on his face, "Shaoxia, this is the dog, the eldest is called Xuanyuan Jian, and the second is called Xuanyuan Yun." ā€

"Yang Shaoxia is good" The two smiled innocently, looking at Yang Fan a little restrained.

"Hurry up and wash up, how can you see guests like this?" the village chief scolded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go."

The two brothers agreed.

Yang Fan said, "I am amazed at the two of them, they are born with divine power, why is there no true yuan power in their bodies?

"Hey... This is a long story, Yang Shaoxia came to the house, and the old man spoke slowly."

The village chief said with a wry smile.

After arriving at the house, the two sat down, and the village chief said, "The old man is also an old man, hey... Their mother died when she gave birth to them, and I don't know if it was because of the difficult birth that caused the two brothers to be weak and sick for many years after they were born."

"At that time, the old man even thought that he could not support them, and it was not until their brother was six years old that he began to improve, and the two miraculously got better overnight, which made the old man happy and happy"

"Since the age of six, the two of them have begun to grow their strength like crazy, I thought they were geniuses in cultivation, so I thought that they would step into the path of cultivation, but unfortunately, no matter how the two of them cultivated, they could not attract the essence of heaven and earth into the body and turn it into true yuan or soul power, the old man also asked a lot of masters to check for the two of them, but without exception, they all said that the two brothers were not suitable for cultivation."

Yang Fan frowned and asked, "Even if it is not suitable for cultivation, it should be able to produce some true yuan or soul power, right?" It's just that the amount produced is much less than that of ordinary people."

"But here's the problem, no matter how hard their brothers try, the power generated will disappear in the blink of an eye, which is exactly what the old man is strange about."

The village chief sighed and said, "But if you can't cultivate, it's nothing, this world is so chaotic, it's good to be able to live in peace and stability."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, the world is chaotic, and it may not be a good thing to step into the cultivation path."

"Knock knock... The ringing horse is coming, the ringing horse is coming, everyone hurry up and hide"

At this time, there was the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and then Yang Fan heard the sound of running and shouting, and the village chief stood up from the bench at once, with a faint look of anger on his face, but he was forced down, leaving only a helpless sigh.

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Yang Fan asked.

"Hey... This generation has a gang of robbers who often go to various villages to collect Yunling ore... In the past, it was better, and it was collected once every six months, but recently they have stepped up and have to come every month to collect Yunling ore, which makes my waiting days miserable."

The village chief said angrily.

"Yunling ore?" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.

The village chief nodded, and said, "People of our generation are all mining for a living, some ores contain spirit stone impurities, and after further purification, you can get spirit stone particles, which can be exchanged for some silver money to survive, sometimes lucky, you can even step on half a spirit stone, that is also a big fortune, not only can you sell it for money, but you can also stay and cultivate by yourself, after all, the prince will Xiangning has a kind of, who doesn't want to be a cultivator with great powers?"

"It's a pity, a group of ringing horses appeared in this generation later, and they regularly collected a certain amount of Yunling ore, and if they didn't pay it, they would even be slaughtered in the entire village.

"Young man, you stay here, old man, I'll go outside and take a look, negotiate with those ringing horse leaders, and see if we can extend some time, if it is once a month, there is no way for the people in the village to continue to live"

The village chief sighed.

"Dad, Xiangma is here again, what should I do? Even if all the Yunling ore that everyone picks up this month is not enough, and more than a dozen of them are waiting for the money, and if they continue like this, they won't even be able to open the pot."

"They're trying to force us to their deaths, Dad, let's fight for them."

The two brothers ran out and said with a look of resentment.

"Fight, what to fight? The big leaders of those ringing horses are big people, and there is a powerful force behind them, if we dare to make a voice of resistance, Xiaguan Village and a dozen other villages will be our end."

Father Xuanyuan said angrily.

"I—" The two brothers were speechless in rebuttal, their fists clenched together.

"Hey" Xuanyuan's father sighed, and said, "If you can't be small, you must not be impulsive, otherwise the entire existence of hundreds of people will suffer."

"Do you remember?" reprimanded Father Xuanyuan.

"Remember," the two nodded.

"Wait a minute, the old man will come back after dealing with this matter," Xuanyuan said.

"Daddy, let me accompany you to have a look, so I can take care of it" Yang Fan said,

Father Xuanyuan hesitated, nodded, and said, "Since Shaoxia has this intention, let's go together."

Outside the village, dozens of strange beasts come from the sky, shaped like gluttony, surrounded by black flames, each head has five zhang long, two zhang high, ten divine horses.

And on top of each of the strange beasts, there was a cultivator, all of them fierce and vicious, it was that group of ringing horses.

A large group of strange beasts stopped at the entrance of the village, and a tall and thin, horse-faced cultivator looked at Xuanyuan Village coldly, and shouted coldly, "Old man Xuanyuan, why don't you come out quickly to greet Uncle Ma, do you want Uncle Ma to wash your village with blood?"

"Oh, don't be angry, Uncle Ma, I'm going to prepare Yunling ore for you, how dare you snub Uncle Ma?"

Father Xuanyuan and the others ran out of the village, counting Yang Fan, the Xuanyuan brothers and more than 20 men went out to greet them, as for the female dependents, the elderly, and the children all hid in the house.

"Count you old thing," said the horse-faced monk coldly. "This month's offering is long, and each village needs twenty boxes of Yunling ore, hand it over, don't delay the time of the masters"

"Uncle Ma, isn't twenty boxes too much?"

Father Xuanyuan's heart was filled with anger when he heard this number, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he had to say with a smile, "Last month, there were fifteen boxes, how did it become twenty boxes this month, after all, we also have to live, if there are twenty boxes every month, our village simply does not have the ability to take it out, Uncle Ma, you are open, give us a way to live."

"Old Wang Ba Lamb, this is the number set above, you even dare to stir up trouble? It seems that you don't want to live" The horse-faced monk's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Uncle Ma, there are few men in our Xuanyuan Village, and fifteen boxes of worship per month is already the limit, if there are more, the people in a village will be hungry, Uncle Ma, let us live."

Father Xuanyuan said pleadingly.

The group of young men behind him clenched their fists tightly together, their bodies trembling with anger, but they didn't rush forward to reason with these ringing horses, and they also knew that if they really rushed up, the consequences would be even worse.

"Smack"

With a sneer on the horse-faced monk's face, he directly drew his horsewhip and whipped it out.

Yes.

A scream came out, and Father Xuanyuan was pumped to the ground, and there was a deep blood mark on his body.

Xuanyuan Daddy's cultivation in the Jindan Realm is not low, but the horse-faced monk is a master at the peak of the Martial Arts Realm, and cleaning up Xuanyuan Daddy is naturally a simple matter.

"Daddy... How?"

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Village Chief, are you alright?"

A large group of people immediately surrounded them, all very worried.

"A group of untouchables, if you don't give you a little color, do you really think that the brothers are vegetarians?

"Let's go..."

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

The horse-faced monk drove away with the strange beasts, and more than twenty strange beasts crushed the sky and left.

"Fifty boxes of Yunling ore, where are we going to find it?, is the sky going to kill my Xuanyuan Village?" Father Xuanyuan roared sadly.

"If you fight with them, it's a big deal"

"That's right, fight, fight with them, otherwise sooner or later they will all be exploited to death"

A group of people shouted indignantly.

"Shut up, fight, what are you going to fight with them, it's just to send them to death" Xuanyuan's father was full of anger.

"But, Dad, we don't have that many spirit ores at all, do we have to wait for them to come and wash our Xuanyuan Village in blood?" asked Xuanyuan Jian.

"Hey, there is another way, in the early years, I had a little friendship with the Tiansan Dao people, and now, the Tiansan Dao people have cultivated to the realm of martial arts and cultivators, and I heard that there is some friendship with the commander of the Xiangma, you two brothers take my token to the Tiansan Dao people's residence, and ask the Tiansan Dao people to help us intercede in Xuanyuan Village, and we will definitely be able to solve this crisis."

Father Xuanyuan said.

"Dad, I heard that the scattered people have always only recognized money and not people that day, even if they have friendships, I'm afraid it's useless," Xuanyuan Yun said worriedly.

"Hey..."Xuanyuan Father sighed, his hand trembled a little and went deep into his arms, took out a diamond bracelet and an inch-long broken wooden sword, handed it to Xuanyuan Sword, and said, "This is a treasure handed down by the ancestors, you give it to the Tiansan Dao people, and ask the Tiansan Dao people to help me Xuanyuan Village."

"Relying on this treasure, coupled with the friendship of the past, presumably the Tiansan Dao people will not not help, this truncated peach wood sword is a gift from the Tiansan Dao people in the past, as a token, you take it together, see the broken sword, he will remember the things of the past"

"Yes, Dad" Xuanyuan Jian and Xuanyuan Yun nodded hurriedly, the two brothers didn't dare to delay time, took out the only two horses in the village, and left together after riding, to invite the so-called Tiansan Dao people.
