Chapter 8 Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
The two walked hundreds of steps, and the spinning dazzling peach grove finally stopped.
In front of the falling flowers are colorful, the flowers and rain fall, there is a clear small lake in the peach blossom forest, and the shore is a piece of thousand-year-old peach trees.
The peach blossoms flutter and render the entire lake into a piece of pink, and the fragrance wafts in, which is refreshing.
To be precise, this is a hot spring, the warm spring water directly absorbs the geothermal heat, and then is cleverly led here, above the hot spring, the heat is steaming, the smoke is misty, like a fairyland.
Song Qing ignored all this, and stepped directly into the water, and as his footsteps fell, the water in the hot spring automatically divided to both sides, and dozens of steps appeared, extending to the bottom of the lake.
The two of them descended the stairs, and everything was back to normal.
No wonder the pursuers couldn't find the lair of the Liangshan thief, aside from the fact that the entire Liangshan is a psychedelic array, no one can think of placing the lair at the bottom of the lake.
Regarding the strength of Senior Brother Song Qing, Wang Xiao has a further understanding, and sets the entire Liangshan as a large array that moves at will, what kind of strength is needed?
Wang Xiao didn't dare to imagine, with his powerful spiritual sense, he even felt that this large array was always in operation, and the hot spring lake he was in was also constantly moving.
As long as anyone sets foot on Liangshan, he has already appeared in Song Qing's field of vision, and he knows every move of the other party, how to catch him.
After passing through the long tunnel, the two came to a marble hall topped by thousands of pearls of the night, which made the whole hall illuminated, and the hall was surrounded by no walls, but a rectangular stone door next to each other.
Behind the stone gate is the residence of the "Zoumali" robbers, the whole layout is like a large cave connected to countless small caves, this place is not as dirty and messy as other robbers' dens, but surprisingly neat and regular.
Without arrogant words, gobbling up, and not getting drunk and drinking, Wang Xiao did not feel that he had entered a den of thieves, but rather like entering a peaceful farm manor.
When he walked into the hall, he saw a group of busy people, this group of people did not have the slightest bit of arrogance, they were no different from honest peasants, to be precise, they were authentic peasants.
They are not dancing swords and swords, let alone learning martial arts, they are actually weaving, cooking, and sewing...... Who can believe that this is a group of fearsome robbers.
Their weaving and their sewing are very distinctive, tearing all the brocade clothes and clothes into shabby beggars' clothes.
The ingredients for cooking are not chicken, duck and fish, it is ordinary steamed bread and gruel, the taste of porridge is not fragrant, and even the cooking method of more water than rice, usually most of the steamed buns out of the cage are white, which looks appetizing, and the steamed buns they make are shriveled like stones.
This is undoubtedly a waste, is this the hobby of this group of robbers such a waste of what they have worked so hard to grab?
Seeing Wang Xiao's doubts, Song Qing smiled mysteriously: "Come together! ”
Everyone was not curious about the joining of the two, but continued to work hard, and Wang Xiao, who joined them, finally found some clues.
There will be fine cotton wool and even mink in the shabby clothes, although the appearance is ugly, but it is extremely warm, and every stitch and thread is sewn with great precision.
The steamed buns that look shriveled like stones, but they are very sweet when you eat them, and there are a lot of delicious meat grains in them, and there are several flavored herbs added to the porridge, which is very helpful for fitness and nourishment, and even has great benefits for prolonging life.
After completing this series of chores, the robbers dressed up as peasants, hid their remade clothes in ox carts full of hay, and placed steamed buns and porridge in baskets.
Then a team of five people, with an ox cart and eight baskets of food, went down the mountain in batches.
As for Song Qing, he practiced it himself, picking up a basket of food and following the back of the team.
Wang Xiao suddenly felt that his brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm of everyone, and in desperation, he also picked up a basket and followed closely behind his senior brother.
Regarding Wang Xiao's questions, Song Qing always smiled and did not answer, which made the doubts in Wang Xiao's heart even stronger.
"Is this their special way of training? A well-known master in Kyushu also needs to train like this?"
"Are they...... Forget it, I can't guess, the master is always unpredictable!"
Song Qing and his gang did not enter the city, but collectively rushed to a barren mountain outside the west of Zhongyun City, the rugged mountain road did not affect them, it can be seen that they often come here, so they are so familiar with the road.
When he came to the mountain, Wang Xiao completely understood the purpose of their trip, he was shocked and speechless, thinking of what his senior brother said earlier, he was a little at a loss for a while.
A dilapidated temple stands alone on the top of the hill, and from the outside, it is covered with dust, cobwebs, and windows are open, and when you look closer, you can see that the floor is full of messes, broken tables and chairs, and even cockroaches and rats scurrying around, and the breeze blows, and the dust is everywhere, and from time to time there is a foul smell.
But in such an environment, this temple was crowded with people, all skinny, ragged, the scene looked extremely miserable, a group of children naked, thin enough to count the ribs, only a pair of eyes still have some color, and there are countless wheezing old people, lying pitifully on the cold ground.
Distribute food and clothes, clean temples, take care of the elderly, and play with children...... Who can believe that this is what a group of robbers do on a daily basis?
In front of the temple, Wang Xiao and Song Qing stood in the wind, Wang Xiao's eyes were a little red, I don't know if he was moved or pitied?
"Unexpectedly, the most prosperous place is also the poorest place. Looking at the bustling Zhongyun City at the foot of the mountain, Song Qing said slowly, "After a while, when the situation here improves, I will let them also be robbers." ”
"Senior brother, with all due respect, this is a chivalrous act, why don't you edict the world, but be so sneaky, tell everyone that you are robbing the rich and helping the poor, not a locust, let alone a robber who is scolded by everyone, I believe that the world will understand you and will not let you bear so much infamy......"
Song Qing turned to look at Wang Xiao, smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't robbing the rich and helping the poor a robber?"
"But what you have done is a good deed, a righteous deed, and you should not be spurned by the world!" Wang Xiao looked a little excited, and said with a heartfelt voice.
"Do you know what Ben is?" Song Qing did not answer Wang Xiao directly, but talked about another question in Wang Xiao's heart, "I know you must want to know why we send porridge instead of rice, why don't we directly distribute the looted things to these refugees, why do we use such a stupid method to help the victims?"
"Why?"
"Because the stupidest method is the most effective, it won't let people catch the handle, and it won't implicate the innocent, junior brother, do you understand the so-called 'Ben' now? What is harmful, what is beneficial, can you tell you clearly? Now we are looking down at Zhong Yuncheng, do you tell me that he is still prosperous?"
The breeze was blowing, Wang Xiao was at a loss, this was black and white, how should he distinguish between black and white? In the eyes of the world, on the path of cultivation, can he insist on himself like a senior brother?
"Haha, look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can I be a Penghao person, I Song Qing want to be a robber in this life, steal the people, steal the family and the country, steal the floating life for half a day, steal the Lingyun Zhuangsheng, steal the whole world and the people, and steal the chaos and all things to open ......"
Song Qing stepped on the void, brushed his sleeves and laughed.
Only Wang Xiao stood in place in a daze, looking at Zhong Yuncheng who was full of people at his feet, and couldn't see anything clearly for a while......
