Chapter Ninety-Three: The Land of the Boat
At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a remote place called Duzhou, where there are more than a dozen families living here and living a life without fighting with the world.
There is no government here, there is no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people of Duzhou manage their own daily affairs, self-cultivation, captivity and grazing, life is stable and rich, and occasionally communicate with the Twilight Snow tribe on the other side of the Tianshan Mountains, exchanging some goods, although it is not comparable to the prosperity of the metropolis, but the people of Duzhou are some contented people.
Lin Qi and Yingli, according to the guidance all the way, also came to Duzhou, there is no post house here, so when the last post house stopped, the carriage and horse have been returned, the two of them walked all the way to this side, admiring the mountains and rivers, although it is the middle of winter at this time, there is a depression everywhere, but the two of them are happy tight, only feel that there is something else.
It said that it had not snowed yet, but after all, this was the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and this snowy day had arrived, so the two did not delay along the way, and soon came to the front of the village.
However, what made the two of them a little strange was that the atmosphere of the whole village was very strange, this was not the cold of winter, because in the whole village, only one room was lit with fireworks, and the rest of the place was like death!
"Xiao Qi, something is wrong!"
With her keen sense of smell, the little girl had already sensed the strangeness in front of her, and in an instant, the enemy sword had been held in her hand in an instant.
Lin Qi nodded, although he was not clear about the current situation, but this trip was a must.
The two walked into the village, looked around, and saw that the wooden houses were quiet and uninhabited, and their hearts were even more vigilant.
And the house with the fireworks is at the front, and this one seems to be relatively large, and it looks like it can accommodate a lot of people, maybe everyone is there?
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll knock on the door. ”
With a word of advice, Lin Qi stepped forward alone, while the little girl was holding a long sword, secretly guarding against the danger that might erupt at any time around her.
Da-da-da-da.
Hearing the human voice, Lin Qi knocked on the door, and at this time, the footsteps and conversations in the house stopped abruptly in an instant!
It's really greasy, otherwise how could you react like this.
"Who's outside the door?"
It was a man's voice, deep and powerful, that sounded like a very rough man.
"Hello, our brothers and sisters have traveled here, hoping to find a place to rest, and I hope you can make it convenient!"
"Convenient, convenient, convenient, convenient!
Lin Qi's attitude was already very sincere, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so bad, but before he figured out the other party's identity, Lin Qi couldn't break in, in case it was just a misunderstanding, it would not be good.
At this time, the people in the room also saw the situation outside the door from the window, and saw Lin Qi turn around to leave, when another voice suddenly came and stopped him!
"Wait, you're monks?"
Things seem to be turning around!
Lin Qi looked back with a smile, looking completely harmless to humans and animals.
"Yes, our brother and sister belong to the Heaven and Earth Alliance. ”
Lin Qi casually pulled a sect, hoping to lower the other party's vigilance, even if the other party pursues it, there are more sects that have joined the Heaven and Earth Alliance in this world, and it will be easy to fool when the time comes.
However, the other party obviously did not intend to delve into it.
"If you cover it up...... We can take you in, but I'm going to check to see if you're dangerous!
After this person finished speaking, the door clicked and opened a gap, Lin Qi turned back and gave Firefly a look, and then reflexively pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the field, shouting and wanting to run here, saying something "don't" and "danger" in his mouth!
Seeing the person coming, Firefly suddenly erected the enemy sword, stepped a little, and instantly stepped forward, this person was startled, and quickly stopped, but when he came back to his senses, the tip of the sword was already against his throat!
This man was not very old, about twenty years old, wearing the kind of leather robe that the villagers often wore in the mountains, and carrying a notched firewood knife in his hand, his face was slightly scarred, his eyes were full of surprise, and the whole person even looked a little down.
"Who are you?"
"I ...... I'm not a bad person, but I can't let him in, everyone inside is ......" Before the man could finish speaking, he heard the door slam shut!
Seeing this, the face of the person who came was extremely ugly, and he kept saying "It's over" in his mouth, and squatted down with his head in his hands.
The room immediately fell into chaos, the sound of fighting came and went, scolding, and roaring, but after only a moment, all kinds of sounds disappeared, and at this moment, only a loud click was heard, a black shadow broke out of the door and fell to the ground, and Lin Qi's figure also walked out of the house.
"Okay, it's all done, huh, is there another fish that slipped through the net?"
Lin Qi saw the young man squatting on the ground with a confused expression, and the man obviously saw him, in addition to confusion on his face, the rest was surprised!
"Ahh......h How did you get out!"
The man's face was full of disbelief, and even accidentally sat on the ground directly, Lin Qi looked at him so stupidly, and he didn't know what the other party was, so he looked up at Firefly, who also shook his head.
"I don't know, he said he came from there. ”
Firefly pointed to the wilderness not far behind him, where there are rocks piled up, weeds are barren, I don't want to say where people can hide, it seems that this guy really has some doorways.
At this time, Lin Qi also walked to the man's side and squatted down in front of him.
"Hey, who are you?" As he spoke, Lin Qi pointed to the person who was lying on the side and knocked out of the door, a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, lying on the ground at this time, his eyes rolled and his mouth foamed, he was unconscious, "Tell me honestly, you see that he is the best example!"
Lin Qi smiled, completely harmless to humans and animals, but this is such a person, he has just cleaned up the entire house!
"Yes, yes!" The young man looked panicked and uneasy, and after listening to Lin Qi's words, he hurriedly sat down, "My name is Zhuang Xiaohui, and I am a villager from Duzhou Village, because our village was invaded by gangsters, so in order to prevent someone from entering by mistake, I have been hiding outside the village, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"
This man named Zhuang Xiaohui looked at the villain lying on the ground, and he didn't know how to say it for a while, with his current experience, it seemed that he couldn't fully understand the matter in front of him.
Listening to his explanation, Firefly nodded to Lin Qi, agreeing with his words, in fact, judging from the temperament he exuded, this person should not be a bad person, so Lin Qi also pulled him up from the ground.
"Two ...... Hero, who are you?"
Listening to Zhuang Xiaohui's question, Lin Qiyingli smiled at each other.
"We, we are Ren Xia who walks the world and punishes evil and dispels evil!"
Lin Qi's explanation, although it was a little joking, was almost the truth, but after Zhuang Xiaohui heard it, he was deeply shocked in his heart, and even suddenly felt that the two people in front of him were much taller, so that even he didn't know that a small seed had been planted in his heart.
"Are these the people you are talking about who forcibly occupy your village? What about the people of your Duzhou Village?"
Looking at the face of the person lying horizontally below, Zhuang Xiaohui was afraid that he would not be able to forget it for a long time, he nodded, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
"It's them, there should be more than a dozen, I think if we hadn't gotten the news early, maybe no one would have been able to leave, by the way, master!
As he spoke, Zhuang Xiaohui seemed to remember something, so he pulled his legs and ran to the house, looking at his situation, Lin Qi and Firefly also probably knew something, so they followed him.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhuang Xiaohui was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, only to see that inside the house, there was a messy scene, furniture and equipment, tables, chairs and benches, almost all of them were complete, and those villains and strongmen who originally occupied the village were lying down everywhere at this time, some turned into the seats, some were buried under the fiasco appliances, and some people were hanging on the ceiling, or hanging on the window, or hanging in the hole in the wall, and so on, endless embarrassment.
In just a moment, the whole room could only be as if it had gone through an incomparably chaotic battle, but the final result was completely one-sided, who would have thought that the winner was a person who seemed to be unharmed.
Zhuang Xiaohui didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, everything in front of him was too much beyond his common sense, and at this time, Lin Qi and Firefly had already come over.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have any scruples about these when I made a shot, so I don't have to pay for it, right?"
Who would dare you to pay? You're not kidding!
"No, no, no!"
Zhuang Xiaohui hurriedly turned his head, afraid that the two of them would see his strange expression at this time, turn over countless wreckage, and carefully step past the unconscious gangster, Zhuang Xiaohui went straight to the inner room, and Lin Qi and Firefly behind him were not so jealous, what to step on, there was no scruple at all whether the gangster would wake up, after all, Lin Qi still knew the severity of his methods, besides, even if he really woke up, he would be stunned again.
After looking for four or five rooms, the three of them found two old men in the smallest utility storage room, and finally rescued the two people from the house.
"Old man Cheng, I didn't expect to meet again here!"
Hearing Lin Qi's smile, one of the white-haired old men raised his head, at this time his robe was messy, his hair was scattered, he had been hungry for a few days, and he had already lost weight on his face, but his eyes were still shining, and he knew at a glance that he was a monk with profound Taoism.
"Oh, it's you! Lin Daoyou, and the little girl with fireflies!"
This old man is none other than Lin Qi who went down the mountain, entered the Taishou Mansion of Baijiang City to surrender to the cat demon, and captured the old Taoist priest of the wandering party that the water ghost Sun Buliu met, Cheng Xinian, for several years, Lin Qi and the pears have grown taller and grown, and their faces have changed, no wonder Cheng Xinian didn't recognize it at first!
At this time, Cheng Xinian suddenly felt a little ashamed, thinking that at the beginning, he was attacked by Sun Buliu, and was arrested and locked up in the demolition of the house, embarrassed, Lin Qi and Firefly also met once early, but I didn't expect to meet for the second time, I was like this, it was really embarrassing!
"Lin Daoyou, after four years, you have all become famous little heroes, and my appearance really makes you laugh!"
Lin Qi's pear subdued the demon in southern Xinjiang, and the deeds of the Beijing Martial Arts Conference regrettably lost and ranked second, in fact, it has long been spread, although Cheng Xinian is still walking in all directions over the years, but I have also heard of their reputation, in just four years, today Gan has created a great name, which is really very remarkable.
Looking back at him, not only has he made no progress in the past four years, but he has even achieved almost nothing along the way, and in the end, he was captured alive by gangsters, which is really shameful.
Lin Qi and Firefly are familiar with the old man's conduct, knowing that he has been traveling all over the world, he must have been tracking down the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Gate, and he is the enemy of these evil demons, but this heart and attitude are enough to make people admire, knowing that the old man is a little lost now, so he deliberately said some beautiful words, and finally relieved the old man.
The old man who was locked up with Cheng Xinian, named Zhuang Chengsi, was a village in Duzhou Village, in order to cover the escape of the villagers in the village, he and Cheng Xinian were caught by the wicked, so many days have not been exhausted, he does not need the physique of Cheng Xinian monk, at this time the body can be described as extremely weak, and thanks to some porridge and rice in the house, the two old men eased up a little.
With the help of Zhuang Xiaohui, Lin Qi and Yingli first tied up all the gangsters here, and they escaped after waking up, and then returned to the house to inquire about related matters.
If Cheng Xinian is here, I'm afraid he is explaining some things.
"Grandpa Cheng, these people are ......"
"Yes, the Heavenly Demon Gate. ”
Putting down the porridge bowl, Cheng Xinian's expression also became gloomy, the Heavenly Demon Gate has developed rapidly in recent years, which has greatly exceeded people's expectations, and the current Heavenly Demon Gate has become more and more difficult to deal with.
The Heavenly Demon Gate actually appeared here, which made Lin Qi's heart rise a little bad premonition.
"Lin Daoyou, among these people, is there a white-faced man who is tall and thin and looks very weak?"
Hearing Cheng Xinian's question, Lin Qi thought about it slightly, but shook his head.
"Damn, it turns out that he is not here, then this is not easy to do!" Cheng Xinian secretly gritted his teeth, looking very angry, "Lin Daoyou, this person is by no means an idle person, I said that he was put to the ground with one move, and there is no chance to fight back at all, if we can't eliminate it, I'm afraid this person will definitely become our henchman!"
Seeing Cheng Xinian's disgusting look, Lin Qi and Firefly laughed instead.
"What?" Cheng Xinian was obviously a little unsure.
"Grandpa Cheng, don't worry, there are fireflies here, it doesn't matter if he is white or black, I will cut him into lo noodles when he comes!"
Firefly patted her chest and looked extremely confident, but for some reason, Cheng Xinian had an inexplicable sense of trust in these two young people.
