Chapter Forty-Three: The Road Fights
"This is very simple, I believe that there are many people present who are the same as Zaixia, but after the disputes in the rivers and lakes, they were unfortunately targeted by [dignitaries], and they were brought here for merit, right?" said Lao Sima.
"Yes, I once had a martial arts contest with someone, and he was only slightly injured after he lost, but he died after returning home, so the [Public Security Division] targeted me and forcibly brought me here, but the two of us had already verbally agreed that this contest was a matter of life and death..."The "Monkey King" said aggrievedly.
"Yes, yes, yes... That's exactly what I'm like, I'm just seeing that the road is uneven, and when I see someone robbing the people's daughter, I take action, but I hit it harder, and he can't stand it! An accomplice on death row said.
"Yes, yes, yes"....
So everyone began to complain that the reason for their arrest was too ridiculous, and some of them sounded really unbelievable.
"Hmph! During that time, these [dignitaries] took advantage of the emperor's new establishment, competing for credit, no matter what the situation was, they would immediately arrest people if they had the slightest reason, they had no other skills, they had to rely on the [Taiyin Society], [Lin] and other guilds to deal with it, and they could only take merit in the hands of the common people and the people who ran the rivers and lakes. Old Sima shook his head and said.
When everyone heard him say this, they all echoed it, and it seems that things are really very wet.
"The leader, my idea is exactly like this, this popular unspoken rule is to spend money to buy identity, but we, as death row inmates, have too much money, and we can't communicate this matter with the people in our family, and we have been in trouble. At this moment, if the people of this tribe are willing to help, and we each have a new identity, we can build a ship and return home, which is reasonable and legal. Lao Sima said.
It sounds like it works, there are about eleven people here, and I don't know how much it will be.
"How much is the approximate estimate?" I asked.
"One ingot of silver for one person. Lao Sima said.
Forgive me for my gaffes...
For example, my family who works in a dyeing workshop can earn more than 10 to 20 ingots of silver every month, and it can reach more than 40 or 50 in the peak season.
"I've heard that silver isn't a very valuable currency. I asked curiously.
"It's really worthless in [White City], but here, we can run errands and go back and forth for the people of the [Department of Security] to get one or two coins, these hundred coins are counted as one copper coin, and a hundred copper coins are counted as one silver, and we can't earn them even if we die." A fellow death row inmate said.
It's true, but the numismatic system has long been abolished, and now almost all new coins are used, and ten new coins are a copper coin, which [the Department of Public Security] is too deductible...
I don't know when, Xiu Yao was no longer in the crowd sitting around, I was looking for her, but she came over with something and said, "I don't know if this is enough." ”
At this moment, the people of the tribe have all gone back to stand guard, only Xiu Yao, the leader and the old prophet are still there, and Jingwen's departure just now seems to be exactly what the leader meant.
I hurriedly took it, opened it, and almost blinded me!
There's a whole bag of gold in it!
We all looked at each other, not only them, but even I had never seen so much gold, and it seemed that everything was all right.
So I took only two, because it was enough for all our next arrangements and expenses, and one gold was equal to a hundred silver, and the weight and value of that would go without saying.
And Lao Sima happened to have a channel, so I gave him a piece of gold, which was arranged by him, and he set off with Bai Jun. And we stayed in the tribe, and the tribesmen built the buildings with us.
And after staying here for a few days, the big guy also left some of our Central Plains technology here, and Xiu Wan was the happiest, because now his rough stone bed room has been completely renovated and changed.
There are also some good people here, they are used to drinking tea on weekdays, and now they also teach the tribesmen to learn to make tea, and the leader likes it as soon as he drinks it, which surprises me.
But the old prophet said, "When the leader changes his form, he is an eagle, and the birds are not too resistant to plants." ”
I think there is some truth to it, but the eagle never seems to have eaten a plant.
And because of the interweaving of cultures, it suddenly became lively, and all the death row inmates also began to learn to eat vegetarian food here, and even some wanted to make it for their families.
"Why does the chief never seem to suspect me, and has been friendly to me?" I asked the old prophet.
At this moment, the two of us are sitting around the small pond next to the waterfall, soaking our feet here, and Xiu Yao is still trying to learn our Central Plains culture, so she has not come.
"I asked him not long ago, and he said that the person chosen by Kunlischi is definitely not a bad person. The old prophet smiled and said, it was very close and peaceful.
At this moment, a tribesman came running over, found the prophet in great anxiety, and said a few words in the vernacular. When the old man heard this, his brow furrowed! I was about to ask him, but he had no intention of talking to me, and was in a hurry to leave.
I looked like something had happened, so I quickly got up and followed.
I followed him all the way, although the old man was a little older, but his pace was exceptionally fast, and I had to almost trot up to keep up with him, wondering if he was a leopard after he changed form?
Soon we came to the gate of the stockade and came up to the upper end of the wall, where the chief was looking ahead, and the two of us followed.
It's good not to look at it, but I'm shocked when I see it! The ground is full of cracks, and I seem to have seen this somewhere.
And more and more people gathered on this wall to watch, and suddenly someone pointed and shouted: "It's 'Earth Bondage'!"
That's right, I remembered that it was the "Earth Bondage", the one I had seen in [Fox Hidden Town].
"I'll do that!" I said.
I think this "Earth Bondage" may be exactly what came to me, but don't frighten others.
"Hey, wait, I'll go with you. Xiu Wan didn't know when she came, and shouted.
She quickly caught up with me, and we ran out quickly, followed by the "Horseman", who lowered his head and made us both jump on its back at the same time, and led us quickly in that direction.
"I'm not called 'Hey', I'm called Mo Yinfeng. I said in the same tone as before.
Xiu Yao smiled helplessly.
rushed to the front, and the "ground binding" suddenly drilled out a tentacle and the ugly head behind him.
"Why are you here?
"Are you stupid? Or will you never be able to learn? Don't you know that there is a 'Dao Decision' called 'Soul Command'?" The ugly face suddenly showed the same expression as Yuluo, and he also wiped his chin with the tentacle.
I suddenly figured it out, in the previous [Fox Hidden Town] raid, the one who arranged the "Earth Bondage" to sneak attack me and Huo Xuan's "executors" should also be Youluo seniors, but why? And "Earth Bound" once said that he became like that after losing the bet, did he also lose to the Youluo senior?
"Senior, are you trying to use the 'Earth Binding' to lure the [Holy Demon] into attack?" I asked.
"Guess half right, I still have to take back your 'Demon Refining Blood', even if I wait another ten years, I can afford to wait. Youluo said with a groundbound body.
"But I don't want my seniors to succeed!" I said.
"Then your title of 'madman' should be changed to 'stupid'!" Yuro continued to taunt with his body.
"Okay, then we'll bet!" I said, clenching my fists.
"Well, if you lose, I will not only call the 'Holy Demon' to appear, but also the lives of everyone here. Yura said with that body.
"If you lose, not only will we all be able to go back without harming anyone, but we will also lift the curse of 'Earth Bondage'. I said.
"There is affection and righteousness, but alas, you have met the wrong opponent!" Yuluo finished speaking with that body, and immediately summoned all the tentacles of the "Earth Bondage" underground and attacked me.
I still remember how I defeated the "Earth Binding", and hurriedly used the "Secret Language", and suddenly the purple aura was scattered in all directions, and a huge purple gaseous "Demon Refining" like a mountain was formed behind me, and I grabbed the attacking tentacles tightly, and according to the old routine, pulled out the entire "Earth Binding" from the ground like a radish and carried it in the air.
Suddenly, the "earth binding" lost its ability to move and was trapped in the air.
And I have already mastered the "fire control technique", so that the other hand of the huge "Demon Refining" used the Qingyang Finger, and suddenly in the finger of the "Demon Refining" it converged into a huge blazing purple "White Yin Fire", and it seemed that it was about to burn to the "Earth Bondage".
Everyone was stunned by the change in the tide of battle in an instant!
"Surrender?" I asked.
"Didn't your master teach you not to joke when you fight?" said Na Luo with his "earth-bound" body.
I can't help it, I can only apologize for hurting the "groundbound" body!
But at this moment, the "ground binding" suddenly made strange movements in the air with a few tentacles, but it looked like our finger position was switched, and it was obvious that this was not, but the sense of position and style were very similar.
At this moment, the "Earth Binding" suddenly became infinitely powerful, and it slammed out the "Demon Refining" that was carrying it, and directly gave a full score for the back shoulder fall!
This is the "borrowing" of a sharp blade, this is the word "borrowing" in Taoism, generally like "controlling the spirit of the decision" such a Taoist technique, it can indeed be involved, I didn't expect it to be able to use it like this.
"Is this [Green Disease Blade] still comfortable?" said Yu Luo in a strange voice.
I saw that the purple qi "demon refining" was now on the ground, almost dissipated by the blade!
This disparity is too great, isn't it? But these tricks are almost my limit, and once the "Demon Refining Qi Form" is broken, I will lose directly! What should I do? Am I not destined to be able to overcome this fate of being bound? Will I always be inferior to others and at the mercy of others?
