418 Thieves
From this day on, a strange thing happened on the big lake, and many fishing boats lost things. No matter how much you take precautions, you can't prevent losing food. Yes, this is the weirdest place, not stealing children, not stealing money, not stealing anything of value, specifically stealing food.
Soon, half a month has passed, and there are more fishing boats on the big lake that have not lost food. Some people even cook some delicious meals to see what is going on, and they will hide in the dark and wait patiently.
But no matter how patient they were, they would fall asleep in a daze, and by the time they woke up again, their food would have been lost.
Slowly, various rumors appeared, saying that there were water ghosts, and some said that there were water gods, anyway, either starving ghosts or gluttonous gods......
Pan Wu didn't waste more than half a month, he was cultivating every day.
This time it is no longer about refining the body, but what is pursued like the Taoists is the cultivation of the mind. Well, that's, it's actually always looking for an ethereal state that has already appeared twice.
Pan Wu felt very comfortable in that state, his mind was all empty, and he was still obsessed with a single thought, which made Pan Wu have the possibility of breaking through and promoting.
If it weren't for Bai Pingfan's constant desire to kill him, he especially wanted to ask, what kind of state is it when the sixth level is upgraded to the seventh level?
It's a pity, that's an idiot.
In the past half a month, Pan Wu has almost caught that feeling twice, almost having that pure ethereal, but unfortunately he can't.
If he can really find that state and can have it at any time, Pan Wu won't have to worry about Bai Pingfan. In that state, even Bai Pingfan couldn't find him, let alone the birds in the sky?
Pan Wu has never given up, the purpose of going out of the mountain is to improve his cultivation, and now that he has caught a little clue, he must grasp it.
So, despite the legends of ghosts and ghosts on the Great Lake, Pan Wu decided to stay.
This stay is another half a month, and this half month is more miserable, and it can be said that there is no progress. Pan Wu let out a long sigh, ate all the food, cleaned up a little, picked up his clothes and went into the water.
For more than a month, I have been cultivating during the day, and I have been swimming around in the lake at night, and I have already figured out the direction. Now it's just a matter of going downstream.
But before leaving, there is one more thing to do, steal money.
Since Pan Wu came here, he has never seen a bad person, let alone an official ship. Even if someone had a conflict, or even caused harm in a fight, no one sued the official, but those men who collected taxes came forward to mediate.
The Great Lake is huge, and many people collect taxes. It stands to reason that those who collect taxes should have contradictions, for example, if you rob my fishermen and overcharge money, we have to do it. However, judging from the few things that happened, although everyone collected their own taxes, it was always peaceful.
Using Pan Wu's thoughts, most of these people are in a group.
It is impossible for the government to give up such a big benefit, so it can only be that these tax collectors take care of the government as soon as possible, so they can steal them.
It was also to avoid implicating the fishermen, Pan Wu didn't dare to take more, let alone steal the money in the treasury and the room. After waiting for the middle of the night, I stole the money as if I had stolen food some time ago, and touched the money on the tax collectors who didn't look like good people.
There weren't many in total, and all added up to a few dozen silver coins.
But Pan Wu has money, so he can go.
All the way downstream, soon leaving the great lake and entering the river downstream. The reason why there should be more rivers is that the rivers here are wider. A long way downstream, there was a branch of the great river.
Pan Wu was too lazy to choose, so he swam in with the current, not wanting to have another lake inside.
The river is thinner, and more than 2,000 meters ahead is an artificial lake.
It is also a lake, which is much more beautiful than the big lake, and it is calm, and there are many pleasure boats floating on the lake.
Pan Wu went ashore, put on his clothes and walked inside, and then he understood.
In front of this artificial lake is a city, and this lake was simply dug out for people to play. There are a lot of buying and selling and a lot of carriages on the shore, and there is a row of small buildings built in the Lin'an area, which is nothing more than a restaurant and a brothel.
Seeing the prosperity of this place, Pan Wu had a new idea, so many rich people should not be afraid of stealing.
Find a place where no one is there to rest until midnight, and then touch the brothel, but also the flower boat on the lake......
This night found a lot of silver tickets on many people, the common point is that the denomination is relatively small, for those who have money, it is very likely that they can't tell whether they are lost or rewarded.
Why did Pan Wu steal money? Because he didn't want to swim anymore.
With the money, I went to the waterway outside the lake and found a small boat, which was very shabby. Pan Wu bought it for twice the price, and bothered the boatman to help buy a lot of food, and then set off by boat.
There is a cabin in the boat, and to hide in it is to hide.
As he imagined, he really escaped Bai Pingfan's crazy pursuit, ate and drank in the cabin, and let the boat go down the river.
Anyway, it's just drifting, only when he wants to hit someone else's boat, or when he wants to crash into the shore, Pan Wu will control the direction a little.
It is said that his life should be very leisurely and beautiful, because it is the life he has always wanted to pursue. But when he really floated on the big river every day with nothing to do, there was a panic in his heart.
The first few days were fine, but the more time passed, the more panic grew.
On the seventh day, Pan Wu was wondering whether to go to a nearby city to buy some drinks, when he suddenly heard the sound of a horn.
There should be an army in drills, Pan Wu is very familiar with this kind of voice, only the horn in the army has this kind of momentum.
When I came out of the cabin and looked to the shore, there was a cloud of sand and dust drifting away from the distance. I hope it's a drill, not a war!
As soon as he thought about this, there was a shout of killing in that place, and Pan Wu froze for an instant, what is the situation?
After thinking about it, he didn't want to do much if he didn't dock in the end.
He was going down the river, with a ferry in front of him, and behind the ferry was an open field, where many travelers stood waiting to cross the river.
Pan Wu sat on the boat and drifted down, and in a while he could come to the ferry.
At this moment, a group of people ran out of the place where the battle had just begun, and they knew at a glance that they had been defeated, and they ran around without any direction at all. Suddenly, I saw many people at the ferry, and someone shouted, "Take them hostage!"
At this shout, the group came to their senses and ran quickly.
Pan Wu didn't want to pay attention to these things, but why were those innocent people at the ferry so unlucky? Pan Wu got up, jumped ashore, and ran to the ferry as quickly as possible.
The last to arrive first, Pan Wu came to the ferry, and those people appeared in front of them wielding knives and guns panting.
These people at the ferry knew that they were in trouble, and when they banged, some people shouted and some people ran around, anyway, it was chaotic.
Pan Wu was annoyed and shouted, "Shut up!" ”
The loud noise startled everyone, and the people at the ferry were so frightened that they naturally stopped shouting, and stood still or sat on the ground.
The group of fleeing thieves didn't care how loud Pan Wu's voice was, and he pounced again after a little hesitation.
Pan Wu faced them, and the sixth-level master beat some stupid people with first-level cultivation, and even ordinary people, which was simply bullying people. That is, more than a dozen faces, Pan Wu successfully bullied these people, and those who were not bullied for the time being were already scared stupid, and they didn't dare to move at all.
At this time, the army rushed from behind, and the soldiers in front were particularly fierce, and they didn't ask at all, they slashed with their knives raised, and killed a few unlucky people. When the soldiers caught up with them, someone shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
So let's go down, Pan Wu stepped back some distance and watched them toss.
Soon, the soldiers packed up the thieves, and one of the generals walked towards Pan Wu: "Excuse me, who are you?"
