Chapter 2: There are bandits in front of you
The word "murder and seizure of goods" made Yun Yi a little afraid and a little resentful.
The Pure Void Daoist once said that killing people and destroying life is the greatest evil in the world.
The doctrine of the Temple of Origin is also clearly stated. The extinction of living beings is the first of all evils. Those who are capable should exterminate such atrocities.
Yun Yi relied on his low martial arts, and he did not expect to kill by killing. He just can't get used to seeing people die.
Since he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, Yun Yi quietly prepared. There are also twenty fire talismans in the baggage, which may not help in the event of a battle, but it can scare people.
He took out the fire talisman and put it in his arms, and found a handful of dried grass leaves, twisted them into powder, and Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
These grass leaves are a type of medicinal herb called Dingzhi grass. The main effect is to stabilize the sea of consciousness and imprison the spiritual consciousness.
There are people in the countryside who leave their souls and fake their deaths, and the Qingxu Daoist uses this medicinal material, coupled with the soul suppression talisman, which can receive miraculous effects every time, bringing the fake death back to life.
After making all preparations, Yun Yi ate at this time. The meal is very ordinary, and it is a flatbread bought in Liangzhou City. After leaving it for so many days, it has already dried hard, and it is not delicious at all, not much different from chewing cowhide.
"Little brother, come and have a bowl of broth. At the campfire, a middle-aged man with a large knife beckoned to Yunyi.
Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and walked over.
The man handed Yun Yi a large bowl with fragrant broth inside. Before he could put his mouth down, Yun Yi felt comfortable all over.
"Drink. Seeing that Yun Yi was wary, the man persuaded: "Your age is the time to grow your body, so it's not good to be too economical." ”
Yun Yi glanced at him, feeling that he was poor and white, and there was nothing to worry about. I simply opened my stomach and drank the broth.
The broth tastes really good, and there seems to be chili peppers in it. As soon as you enter the belly, the whole body is warm.
"Not bad, right?" the man asked with a smile as he looked at Yun Yi.
Yun Yi nodded, but his eyes were curious at the man.
The man had joined the caravan halfway through. His clothes were in tatters, and his hair was messy like weeds. I don't know what life he used to live, he was so dusty.
"Big brother's surname?" Yun Yi put down the big bowl, learned the appearance of the Jianghu people, and hugged his fists: "Little brother Yun Yi." ”
"Good name. The man smiled and nodded, and said, "My surname is Xin, and my name is bitter." ”
"Hard?!" Yun Yi blinked, this name is really strange enough, so weird.
"Hahaha!" laughed bitterly.
Yun Yi suddenly found that the eyes of this hard-working brother were very bright, like stars in the sky, piercing the eyeballs.
"Where are you going, Brother Xin?" Yun Yi lowered his head and asked casually.
Hard pointed to the north: "Battlefield, kill people." ”
Yun Yi looked at him in surprise and sighed secretly. Yun Yi doesn't like dead people, very much. But he's not pedantic. The steppe barbarians raised troops to invade the south, and they were bound to kill many people.
The only way is to resist. I don't want to be killed, so I can only kill back.
The winter nights are cold and bitterly cold. Yunyi did not prepare a tent.
He dug a pit in the ground, piled hay in it, and buried himself in it. When he was about to fall asleep, Yun Yi noticed that the hard brother did not sleep and sat cross-legged by the fire. I don't know if it's cultivation or not sleepy.
The next day, Yun Yi was woken up in his sleep. Brother Hard stood on the edge of the pit and looked at him with a smile.
Yun Yi glanced at the sky, and it was already bright. Those dart masters and merchants opened their eyes one by one, obviously moved by their hearts.
"I'm waiting for you, get up quickly. He pulled Yun Yi hard and said with a smile: "The little guy is really good at finding a place, and ordinary people can't find it." ”
Yun Yi's cheeks were red, and he apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I slept too hard." ”
Everyone saw that he was a half-grown child, and they didn't think much about it, they glanced at him one after another, and set off on the road.
On the way, the housekeeper told her about the situation in Black Pine Ridge. As soon as I heard that there were mountain bandits in front of me, I was still shameless and lifeless. The atmosphere of the caravan suddenly changed.
Those dart masters are okay to say, they often experience this kind of thing. Those merchants were white-mouthed, and they were probably afraid.
"Don't be afraid, stay with me. He patted Yun Yi the shoulder and admonished.
Yun Yi looked at him sideways, a little curious. This Brother Xin didn't seem to take this seriously, and he said that he was scared, and he was a little eager to try.
Could it be that his martial arts are very high?" Yun Yi secretly guessed.
As we move forward, Black Pine Ridge has entered everyone's sight.
It was a mountain forest, black and full of tall pine trees. The scale is very large, hundreds of miles, and there is no end in sight. It resembles a pile of blackened cow dung, running directly across the official road. To get to the capital, this is the only way to go.
Black Pine Ridge is elevated and consists of two small hills. At the border of the hill is the official road.
In the depths of the hill on the left is a stockade fenced with wooden stakes, which is a den of bandits for the black blind.
At this moment, a group of bandit leaders sat in the righteous hall, discussing the robbery that was about to begin.
Sitting on the head of the tiger skin was a strong man like a black tower, very tall, nearly two meters straight. His face was black, and his hair stood on end, like a bear. He is the big boss, Yang Yong, a black blind man.
"I said, the plate is stepped on, what do you think?" The black blind man opened his mouth, and the hall was full of buzzing and trembling, and the dust on the roof fell down.
"Big brother. "The second boss doesn't look like a bandit, he dresses up like a teacher. He got up, drove the dust away with a fan, and said, "I have thought about this, we can only fight, not use force." ”
"What do you mean?" the fat sheep was about to come to his mouth, the second child had objections, and the black blind man was a little unhappy.
The second master copied the wine jar and piled it in front of him, explaining: "Two hundred miles to the south of Black Pine Ridge is Bazhou City, and one hundred and seventy miles to the north is Yunzhou City. Don't talk about Bazhou City, let's talk about this Yunzhou City. The defenders numbered two thousand three hundred. There is also Yunshu Pavilion. ”
"We're not afraid of the defenders. The second master looked around and continued: "But Yunshu Pavilion has to be guarded. Their strength should not be underestimated. There are fifty-five spiritual cultivators alone, and their strength is above that of spiritual masters. ”
"The number of martial cultivators is even larger, two hundred and seventy people, and the highest is already a martial artist. It's easy for these people to destroy our cottage. So...... Be cautious. ”
After the second master finished speaking, he sat down slowly.
"The second brother is not right. "The three masters are relatively lean, dressed in short clothes, with braids on their heads. He took the dagger to trim his fingernails and said, "We have been stationed for so many years, have you ever done anything about Yunshu Pavilion?" What's more, we have a good relationship with their deputy pavilion master. ”
"This time and that time. The second master waved his hand: "There is an external trouble now." Black Pine Ridge is the only way for the eastern route to Beijing. Military supplies must be unimpeded. If we go too far, the court may really want to send troops to purge us. ”
The bandit leaders pondered and figured out this section one after another. Usually, the court opens its eyes and closes its eyes, and everything is fine. But once there is a war, the court will never allow anyone to pull their hind legs.
"Then let's ......" The black blind man felt that the second child was right. At this time, there is really no need to give the government eye medicine.
He was just about to make a decision, when a little minion quickly ran in and handed over a letter.
The black blind man hurriedly opened it, and after a quick look, his face was already full of smiles.
He stood up and shouted, "Then let's ...... Fight, I want to see blood!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
The second master looked at the eldest brother and was silent in thought. There is no doubt that the letter that came suddenly reassured the eldest brother. But who sent this letter, and what did it say, that it was so powerful?
"Let's go!"
The black blind man copied the heavy six-ring broadsword and took the lead out of the council hall. The other bandit leaders picked up their weapons with doubts and followed closely.
Seeing that he was about to enter the Black Pine Ridge, the caravan's dart master quickly got busy.
The bow and arrows are wound, and the shield is raised. A group of merchants were also stuffed into the caravan.
The caravan crossed the low pine trees and headed deep into the pine forest.
