Volume III, Chapter 646

There is no way for the bandits to use these women as a threat, when life and death are at stake, they can only use them as life-saving straws, it can be seen that the other party is not coerced at all, they are also red-eyed, one of them shouted: "Damn, if you want to die, you have to pull a few to make a back!"

As he spoke, he raised the steel knife in his hand and aimed it at a woman's head, making a gesture to cut it off.

However, in Lin Haotian's opinion, his action of raising the knife was a rare opportunity to make a move, his body suddenly became weak, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the front of the bandit, and his palm was like a knife, stabbing into the thief's skull.

There was no scream, and the bandit was killed on the spot.

When the other bandits saw this, they were all frightened, but before they could make the next reaction, Lin Haotian seemed to turn into a ghost, his body was like electricity, and he flashed past the thieves.

As soon as he walked by, the throats of several bandits were cut open, and the wounds were as thin as paper, and blood spurted out, turning into a bright blood mist in the air, and at the same time, splashing the faces of the surrounding women.

"Ahh

I don't know who screamed first, and then there was a lot of screaming in the dungeon, and the women were holding their heads, screaming and screaming desperately.

For Lin Haotian, their sharp and piercing cries were definitely more terrifying than the sharp blades in the hands of the bandits, he subconsciously took a step back, looked around at the women present, took a deep breath, gathered enough strength, and shouted: "Don't scream!"

His voice was like thunder in the clear sky. The echo lingered in the dungeon. However, it did shock the women present, and the people stopped screaming, and their eyes widened one by one, looking at Lin Haotian blankly.

"You are free now, go back to where you come from!" After speaking, Lin Haotian secretly shook his head, carried the war halberd, and turned around and walked out.

"Strong!" a woman walked forward quickly. Reach out and grab his arm.

Lin Haotian suddenly stopped. Turning around, his eyes staring straight at her.

Looking at his eyes that flashed green, as if they were about to swallow her own eyes, the woman trembled with fright. Hurriedly let go of his hand. said in a trembling voice: "The little woman thanks the strong man for saving his life......"

"I'm not here to save you!" Lin Haotian's eyes softened a little, but his tone still revealed a sense of distance that was not close to anyone.

"The strong man is here ......"

"Murderous!" Lin Haotian replied lightly.

However, the women present were taken aback by his words, wouldn't they have just left Longtan and entered the tiger's den?!

I could see the fear on their faces. Lin Haotian smiled, smiling contemptuously, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, the person I want to kill and the person I want to kill is not you." After a pause, he said: "The bandits outside have died, now, you can leave boldly with confidence, if you still need to entangle, there are many in the treasure house, go and get it yourself!"

As he spoke, he was about to go out again, but just now the woman rushed forward in surprise and joy, stretched out her hand to stop him, and said, "Anyway, my life was saved by a strong man, please accept the little woman's worship!"

As soon as the words fell, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times at Lin Haotian.

When the other women saw this, they also knelt down one after another, weeping with joy, kowtowing, and thanking each other.

Lin Haotian stood still and didn't move, or he didn't know how to react, until everyone had finished thanking him, he came back to his senses, cleared his throat unnaturally, and said, "Now, can you go?"

"This strong man, the little woman has a reluctant request. The woman who stopped him continued.

Lin Haotian secretly said troublesome, waved his hand and said, "Since it is a reluctant invitation, then don't say it again, I should also go." ”

"Strong man, please stay!" The woman was very persevering, ignoring Lin Haotian's reaction and the coldness in his tone, and said: "Since it was the strong man who rescued us, the strong man is good to the end, please send these sisters home." ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and it was only at this time that he looked at the woman squarely and looked down at her.

This woman is unkempt, and she can't see her appearance and age clearly, but her figure is not short, at least half a head taller than the other women, estimated to be 1.7 meters, her clothes are dirty and torn, and she looks much more embarrassed than the other women.

"The sisters are all weak women, so it is inevitable that there will be no accidents on the way home, and please be considerate of the strong man......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Haotian interrupted impatiently: "Don't say any more, I can send them to Ancheng at most, as for how to go home in the future, then figure it out yourself." ”

Hearing this, the woman laughed, her dark face showed two rows of white teeth, and she blessed her: "Little women have more strong men!"

Lin Haotian didn't say anything more, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "Let's go!"

After speaking, seeing that they were all standing in place and not moving, just looking at himself in a daze, he shook his head with tears and laughter, and asked helplessly, "What do you want?"

All the women came back to their senses, their faces were all red, and they all lowered their heads, silently followed behind Lin Haotian, and walked out.

Originally, in their minds, Lin Haotian's appearance should at least be rude and heroic, even if he was not vicious, but looking at him who had scattered his armor and revealed his original appearance, it was very different from the image they imagined.

His complexion is very white, but not morbidly pale, but shiny fair, although tall, not stout, ape back bee waist, well-proportioned and slender, looking at the face, sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, high nose bridge, natural upward movement of the corners of the mouth, like a smile but not a smile, handsome and kind, of course, if his eyes are also soft, it will make people feel closer.

If you meet him on the street, you will definitely think that he is a scholar, who would have thought that he would be a 'green-eyed demon' who kills people without blinking and is more terrible than a fierce god.

After all the women timidly followed Lin Haotian out of the dungeon, they were all frightened by the scene in front of them and exclaimed.

Huge cottage. At this time, it was empty, not a single living person to be exact, and the ground was full of corpses, but the strange thing was that there was no blood at the scene, and there was no smell of blood in the air.

Lin Haotian didn't pay attention to everyone's reactions, pointed at his hand, and said, "There is a treasure house of the cottage, there is gold and silver in it, if you need to be entangled, go get it now!" He looked around again. Walk in the direction of the stable.

When Lin Haotian walked into the stable, at this time, all the women had already taken their own coils and were waiting for him here. None of them are greedy. and did not stuff it with gold and silver. If you only have enough for your own use, you will not take more.

Lin Hao got out of the carriage. Letting everyone wait here, he entered the treasury and brought out boxes of gold, silver and jewels inside.

In the treasure trove. He also saw a mangled corpse, and after careful identification, he saw that it was Hong Tian's corpse, presumably the girls were bullied by him on weekdays, and they happened to see his corpse when they were entangled, and they ravaged it to relieve their hatred.

Lin Haotian shook his head and smiled, casually threw the corpse to the corner, and then dragged the box and walked out of the treasure house quickly.

There was a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, and even if he had great strength, it would take him some time to carry them all by himself.

A woman said to the girls: "Sisters, don't look at it, let's help the son move together!"

"Okay!" everyone agreed.

At this time, the sky was also white, and when they went down the mountain, Lin Haotian and his party were encountering the bandits who rushed back to rescue after hearing the news.

There was no extra nonsense, Lin Haotian put on his armor, held a halberd, and rushed over to meet the battle.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the women could be regarded as truly seeing the terrible things about Lin Haotian.

There were hundreds of bandits who rushed back, but Lin Haotian fought against them, just like chopping vegetables, the strangely shaped halberd was wielded, it was simply unstoppable, even if the bandits used the weapons in their hands to block, their end was also broken.

The mood of the women watching the battle changed from fear at the beginning, to surprise, and then to joy. But just as their mood changed, the battle ahead had already ended, and except for a few bandits who had escaped, everyone else was lying on the mountain road.

Lin Haotian, who was walking back, slowly shook his head while dissipating his armor and putting away his halberd, if he had enough time, he really wanted to stay here for a while, maybe he could meet more bandits who rushed back.

To make a long story short, Lin Haotian and his entourage did not encounter any more bandits on the way back to Ancheng, and arrived at Ancheng smoothly and peacefully.

Lin Haotian sent the two carriages and the girls all the way to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and then without saying hello, he jumped out of the carriage directly, turned around and strode away.

Lin Haotian didn't want to reveal his identity, so he walked fast, and in the blink of an eye, he got into a nearby alley.

The next day, Lin Haotian had just had breakfast, and Cao Xiong, the city lord of Ancheng, came to the door.

After he saw Lin Haotian, he walked forward quickly with a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Brother Xian, you are really a god! Last night, the bandits of Shuangtou Mountain were wiped out, not only killing the bandits, but even the cottage was burned down!"

Lin Haotian blinked, pretending to be surprised: "There is such a thing?!" After a pause, he smiled again: "I'll just say, the bandits of Shuangtou Mountain will have a big disaster in the near future, it seems that I am really right!"

"It's too accurate, it's too accurate!" Cao Xiong looked at Lin Haotian with bright eyes, so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Lin Haotian asked, "Do you know who did it?"

After the man rescued a large number of women who had been imprisoned by the bandits, and sent them to the gate of the city lord's mansion, he left, and the foolish brother did not know who it was, but according to the rescued women, the man had a pair of green eyes. ”

"Green-eyed? That's a novelty...... It can't be the charm of the mountains, right?" Lin Haotian said with a wink.

"Mountain Charm?" Cao Xiong opened his mouth wide, and Ling Ling shivered, and stammered, "No...... It can't be so mysterious, is ......it? In broad daylight, the mountain charms dare to enter the city?"

Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Even if it is a mountain charm, it is also a good mountain charm, in addition to a big disaster to help Ancheng, if you want me to say, Brother Cao will build a small mountain temple in the cottage of Shuangtou Mountain and enshrine it, which can not only protect the peace of the city, but also stabilize the people's hearts, so that the people who fled from Ancheng before can go home with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What the virtuous brother said is reasonable! If it was before. Brother Fool really can't afford to build a mountain temple, but now it's different, don't you know......" As he spoke, he also deliberately looked left and right, and then whispered in Lin Haotian's ear: "That mountain charm also sent all the gold, silver and jewelry in the cottage to the city lord's mansion, let alone build a mountain temple, even if you build ten or twenty, you can afford to build it!"

"This is a good thing, and it is also a God-given opportunity, with this money, Brother Cao can govern and rectify Ancheng well. Let Ancheng come to life again!" Lin Haotian said with a smile.

"That's what I thought, too. Cao Xiong smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close his mouth. Then he looked straight at Lin Haotian again, and didn't react for a long time.

Lin Haotian made him look uncomfortable and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Cao?"

"The virtuous brother has learned the mystical arts, and he has learned so exquisitely. Can...... Count it for the foolish brother. Can the foolish brother govern Ancheng well? What about your career in the future?" Cao Xiong asked with some embarrassment.

Whether it is a good official or a bad official, a clean official or a corrupt official, first of all, they are all human beings, and if they are human beings, they have seven emotions and six desires. will care about their future.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said: "Brother Cao, rest assured, as long as Brother Cao can do his best to govern Ancheng, not only can Ancheng be governed well, but also will be rewarded by the imperial court, and within three years, he will be promoted!"

Hearing this, Cao Xiong's whole person felt light, as if he was stepping on the clouds, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Foolish brother borrowed the good words of the virtuous brother, if this is the case, the foolish brother will be prepared to thank the virtuous brother with a generous gift!"

"Brother Cao is too unconventional when he says this. As he spoke, Lin Haotian restrained his smile and said, "Tomorrow, I will return to Jiankang, Brother Cao is lonely in Ancheng, you must be more careful in case of trouble!"

"Brother Xian is leaving tomorrow?" Cao Xiong's face was full of surprise, and then, it was replaced by a strong sense of reluctance, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Although the foolish brother and the virtuous brother are first friends, they are like old friends at first sight, they know each other late, and they will say goodbye tomorrow, and I don't know when we will see each other again!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Haotian also felt a burst of emotion in his heart, was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." ”

"What a 'confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other'!" Cao Xiong was surprised and delighted, and praised with a tall thumb: "Such a quatrain, easy to come by, I didn't expect that the virtuous brother not only knows the magic of the arts, but also has excellent literary talents!"

Lin Haotian's face turned red, and he smiled bitterly secretly, how could he have that ability? He said embarrassedly: "Brother Cao has won the award." ”

Lin Haotian and Cao Xiong chatted until noon, and the latter got up to say goodbye.

Originally, Lin Haotian wanted to keep him for lunch, but he refused, for the very simple reason of avoiding suspicion! As an official, it is like being under a melon field and plums, and only by being cautious in words and deeds can he win the support and love of the local people.

Although his kindness was pushed away by Cao Xiong, Lin Haotian admired him very much and added a few more points to him in his heart.

Following.

Not long after Lin Haotian and the others got up, Cao Xiong rushed over to see him off, and he was reluctant to give up on Lin Haotian, and repeatedly told him to contact him often in the future.

It wasn't until Lin Haotian and others were sent out of Ancheng and walked a long way that Cao Xiong took people back.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, on this day, he went to a small town, and after dinner, Lin Haotian sat in the tent for a while, walked out, and when he got outside, he happened to see Shao Lin, he waved his hand, called Shao Lin over, and asked, "Are there villages and towns around here?"

Shao Lin shook his head and said, "There are no people within ten miles here, but there is a mountain temple on the opposite mountain, but according to the brother who inquired, the mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time. ”

"Mountain Temple?" Lin Haotian thought for a while and said, "Since we are passing by here, let's go to the Mountain Temple to worship." ”

Lin Haotian only took Shao Lin and Tong Lei to the mountain temple in the opposite mountain.

Lin Haotian has never believed in the gods and ghosts, if it weren't for the fact that he was too boring for several days, he wouldn't have gone to worship the mountain god on a whim at night.

The light in the mountains is dim, and the curved mountain roads are rugged, but fortunately, Lin Haotian and his people are all masters of martial arts, with excellent eyesight and agile skills, and they don't feel difficult to walk in the mountains.

As the spies investigated, the mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time, the small courtyard wall is overgrown with grass and vines, no one has cleaned it for a long time, and even the temple door has been lost, only one is left swaying back and forth with the mountain wind, making a creaking and moaning sound.

Arriving at the main gate of the mountain temple, Lin Haotian stood still, squinted his eyes for a while, and was about to walk inside, at this time Shao Lin said suspiciously: "What is this?" As he spoke, he walked briskly up the steps of the mountain temple and looked down at the small stone pile under his feet.

The small stone pile is composed of five small stones, four stones are at the bottom, and a slightly larger stone is on top of it, which is obviously deliberately placed by someone Shao Lin stared for a moment, did not see the clue, and turned to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian stepped forward, glanced at it twice, sneered, and said, "It's just some boring people?"

As soon as his words fell, Shao Lin shook his head and said, "No, my lord, if my subordinates are not mistaken, this should be the logo of the chivalrous sect." ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My lord, according to the rules of the chivalrous world, if there is a sect to do things in a certain place, and you don't want others to interfere, you will often put a unique Peugeot nearby, so as to warn the over-looking chivalrous people, stay away from here, don't provoke right and wrong" As he spoke, Shao Lin squatted down, looked at the small stone pile on the ground, and said: "This should be deliberately placed down by a certain sect." ”

"Oh?" After Lin Haotian heard this, he immediately became interested, he was worried about the boring and boring itinerary, and now it is rare to encounter a lively place to see, how can he miss it He didn't think about it, shook his head and said: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look" After speaking, before Shao Lin and the others could react, he had already strode into the mountain temple.

didn't know what the situation was inside, Shao Lin and the others were afraid that Lin Haotian would lose, so they immediately followed in. (To be continued......)
