Chapter 51: Overnight Stay

In the early morning of the second day, Hu Lai marched towards the lair of the black wolf village under the farewell of the people.

Hu Lai decided to go to the black wolf village in Youshan to find out, since the black wolf village has been destroyed, then the hometown of the black wolf village must have a lot of gold and silver treasures, this windfall is not for nothing, plus there is a task in the body, so I plan to go to the black wolf village hundreds of miles away to cut grass and eradicate the roots.

After Sha Liuli learned of this, she insisted on leading the way for Hu Lai, looking like she was eager to repay her kindness.

Hu Lai did not refuse this, it was a pleasant thing to have a beautiful woman walking together on the road, so the two rode two good horses sent by Tiejiazhuang on the road slowly.

As for the Leiyin Temple, Tiejiazhuang said that it would be responsible for sending someone to notify, and even after the repair was completed, he would go to the Leiyin Temple to worship the Buddha.

After leaving Tiejiazhuang, they went all the way to the north, and the two talked and laughed on the road, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Lord Sha Shi, as a ranger, you must know where there are many bandits, are there any bandits near our Lingshan?" Hu Lai simply asked, planning to go alone to sweep the bandits in the future to earn merit.

"Bandits, there are no bandits near Lingshan, there are one or two horse thieves whose whereabouts are uncertain, but they haven't seen horse thieves for a long time, and there should be no ghost thieves near Lingshan. Sha Liuli replied.

"What's the difference between a horse thief, a mountain thief, and a ghost thief?" asked Hu Lai suspiciously.

Sha Liuli smiled slightly, and said the difference between the three types of thieves.

The first is the horse thief.

Horse thieves have several characteristics, that is, they have no fixed place, no mountains, they form gangs, wander around, rob money and sex, kill people and set fires, and do not do anything.

Horse thieves are the most murderous of bandits, they ride horses and plunder everywhere, passing by a village, they will burn and loot, kill the whole village, and then set fire to the village. Even women and children were not spared, and babies in swaddling clothes were thrown off the cliff and fell to death, which can be described as extremely vicious.

This is mainly because the horse thieves do not have a fixed mountain, they are wandering around, and the government can't find them if they want to arrest them, so they are unscrupulous.

The horse thieves lacked organizational stability and were purely a makeshift gathering of rabbles and criminals who lived day by day without fear of any retribution.

Because of the destructive nature of horse thieves, they are also the key targets of the government and the yamen and sects, so the horse thieves are usually just a flash in the pan, and they can only be seen when the war is in chaos.

What is a bandit?

The bandit is one step further than the horse thief, organized, regulated, has a fixed mountain, and becomes the climate. Under normal circumstances, the bandits just occupy a hill to rob the house, and along with the robbery, they talk a little more about the morality of the rivers and lakes than the horse thieves, and they will not do bad things.

Vicious thieves like Black Wolf Village are still relatively rare, and most of the thieves will give up just to get money, and they may not necessarily harm others to settle revenge.

If the horse thief is full of evil, then the thief belongs to the people of the rivers and lakes in comparison.

Because most of the bandits are in remote areas, and the terrain is relatively difficult to attack, the government usually turns a blind eye, and sometimes, in order to collect money from the people, the government collects a fee for suppressing bandits, and deliberately raises some bandits.

"Since ancient times, the soldiers and bandits have been a family, so it turns out, so the black wolf village is also raised. Hu Lai couldn't help but squint slightly.

If the Black Wolf Village can be arrogant and domineering within a radius of 100 miles, it must also be a force to support them, needless to say, this force is mostly Qingyumen.

It seems that this time the black wolf village suddenly rose up and attacked the Leiyin Temple, there should be a shadow of the Qingyumen, but this black wolf village seems to be a little out of control, and it actually attacked many villages protected by the Qingyumen along the way, I don't know what happened between the two.

Sha Liuli talked about the third type of thief - ghost thief.

The ghost thief is different from the other two kinds of thieves, the origin is quite mysterious, the form of appearance is different, it is classified as a kind of black evil, no one knows where the ghost thieves come from, only know that as long as the ghost thief appears in the village, it only takes one night's work, the people and livestock in the village will disappear, and completely evaporate from the world.

Legend has it that some people have seen so-called ghost thieves at night, and they rode horses to raid villages, but they were actually horse thieves and bandits and other people pretending, and no one has seen what the real ghost thieves are.

"In fact, what the believer experienced was a ghost thief. Speaking of the ghost thief, Sha Liuli's delicate body was shocked, and her face turned pale.

"Amitabha, Lord Sha Shi said that it doesn't matter, there is a little monk here. Hu Lai beat the other party, I really want to listen to it.

It seemed that because of this Buddhist holy monk by his side, Sha Liuli took a deep breath and told her experience.

She is from the Blue Bird City in the southern Vermilion Bird Country, her family is a martial arts family, and she has opened two martial arts halls in the city, and her family background is not bad, and she is also recognized as a candidate for a female Bodhisattva by Huanxi Temple, which can be described as a promising future.

One day, a dozen or so members of the family went to the countryside to worship their ancestors, passing by a village on the way, and stayed at a farmer's house in the village that night.

There were some strange noises at midnight, Sha Liuli always felt that someone behind her was calling herself, but every time she turned around, the other party would disappear, and soon she heard a woman's scream, she hurriedly went out to check at noon, only to find that there was no one in the village, only some dark figures in the dark, so frightened that she could only hide in the house and dare not come out.

The next morning, when all the people in the village, along with her family, and all the livestock, were gone, and the whole village was in ruins, she ran to another village in despair, and was told that he might have encountered a ghost thief.

Later, Sha Liuli was identified as a bad luck because of bad luck, so she was removed from the Huanxi Temple, because the whole city was afraid of bad luck, so she left the south and became a wandering ranger, counting five years.

"It's a kind of evil scourge in the end, this ghost thief is really weird. When Hu Lai heard this, he knew Sha Liuli's miserable voice.

If necessary, he would have liked to see the so-called black scourge.

After comforting the beautiful ranger a few words, the two of them quickly galloped towards the black wolf village in the northern mountains.

There was nothing to say all the way, and dusk was approaching, but there were still more than 20 miles to go.

"It's expected that you will be able to reach the Black Wolf Village in Youshan tomorrow, so let's find a place to rest tonight. Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Sha Liuli stopped his horse.

"There should be a village in front of you, just right for you to rest. Hu Lai's eyes were sharp, and he saw buildings in the distance.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they were stunned.

There is a broken stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village, on which you can vaguely see the three bright red characters of "Wangjiazhuang".

"This is the Wangjiazhuang that was destroyed by the Black Wolf Village?" Sha Liuli remembered something.

"Well, there seems to be a light inside, it should be inhabited, Lord Shashi, let's go in and have a look. Hu Lai took a step.

Sha Liuli hesitated for a moment, but still chose to take a step forward and followed.

Wangjiazhuang was attacked and looted by the Black Wolf Village at the beginning of last month, and it was still panicking at that time.

Both of them wondered why the village was still inhabited today, could it be a survivor?

After entering the village, they found that the village was so dilapidated that it could be described as ruins.

On the ground, there are all kinds of daily necessities left by the villagers, and on the ruins of the gates, you can also see all kinds of white paper lanterns, and each lantern also has a word "sacrifice" written on it, which is flickering and dimming, and it seems that someone specially mourns the dead and hangs it.

In the empty streets, every house is lit and the doors are closed, making it difficult to figure out which room is occupied.

It was getting dark, and it was pitch black except for this street.

Hu Lai's ears listen to the six directions, and the eyes look in all directions.

Sha Liuli held a short sword at his waist, and looked around vigilantly, always feeling that the wind was gusting around him.

At this moment, a courtyard door not far away suddenly opened, and a monk walked out of the door.

This monk is burly, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his eyes are slight, and he looks quite familiar.

"Hong Li, why are you?" Hu Lai recognized at a glance.

The other party was none other than the hardcore disciple of Master Zhizhang, who had also been stunned by his slap, but he didn't expect to see the other party here.

Didn't the other party go back to the Golden Buddha Temple with Master Zhizhang?

"Master Rulai, I never thought that I would meet Master Rulai here, fortunately, I will be lucky. Hong Li's expression was neither sad nor joyful, I don't know if it was because the sky was dark, and the other party's face looked a little blue.

However, the other party was much more polite than before, and he didn't have a ruthless voice, and he didn't even seem to remember what happened when he was stunned before.

"Is Master Zhizhang here?" asked Hu Laitan.

"The little monk's master is sitting in meditation, if it is not necessary, please don't disturb the master of the young monk, if you are looking for a place to stay, please come with the little monk. After Hong Li finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards a house with a white paper lantern hanging on the opposite side.

"It's not too early, just rest here. Hu Lai looked up at Tianse.

Seeing that it was a monk living here, Sha Liuli no longer hesitated, and followed the other party into the courtyard.

After Hong Li took the two to a fairly clean house, he turned around and left, and before leaving, he told Hu Lai not to leave the house at night.

Hu Lai and Sha Liuli went into the house to check and found that the house was quite clean, it seemed to have been specially cleaned, with bedding seats, pots and pans, and it seemed that it was a room that had been vacated for people to live in.

After eating some of the dry food they had brought with them, the two were preparing to separate and rest.

"Master Rulai, the letter girl always feels a little uneasy in her heart, I don't know if I can sleep in the same room with Master Rulai?" Hu Lai was about to rest, and Sha Liuli walked back again.

"Amitabha, then please ask Lord Sha Shi to sleep in the bed, the little monk is used to meditating at night. After Hu said, he took the initiative to make the bed out and sat cross-legged on the ground.

It's really interesting to be in the same room with a beautiful woman, how could he refuse?

Sha Liuli thanked her repeatedly, her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't shirk the matter of letting go of the bed, she took off her leather armor and coat in front of Hu Lai, and then lay on the bed in her underwear.

From beginning to end, in addition to being a little shy, she was not embarrassed at all, it seemed that in front of Master Rulai, it was a very common thing to take off her coat, and the other party was like an elder relative.

This beautiful ranger didn't feel anything wrong, but Hu Lai almost didn't spurt a nosebleed.

Please, beauty!

Even if the Buddha is a high monk, you don't need to take off your clothes in front of you!

This is the temptation, the temptation of Chiguoguo, believe it or not, the Buddha will "open up" you tonight?
