Chapter 52 The Seven Ghosts Go Down to Xiaoshan
It was already the early morning of the twenty days that He Nan had agreed with Ma Mian, and a group of seven people each came down from the top of Xiao Mountain on a horse, and the destination was naturally near the village that Ma Mian said.
These seven people are all the leaders and high-level leaders in Xiaoshan Yanluo Village except for Niu Tou, and Niu Tou is still in the hands of He Nan at this time. Ma Mian can betray the green face Yama for the sake of profit, and naturally he can also betray He Nan, so He Nan took the bull's head in his palm as a hostage in order to clamp Ma Mian and prevent him from rebelling again.
However, despite this, it did not stop Ma Mian from finally breaking their covenant - it was of course true that he and He Nan agreed to surround and annihilate the blue-faced Yama together, and it was true that he was sincere at the time, and he could not bear the words of the blue-faced Yama, but it was also true that he betrayed He Nan in the face of the oppression of the blue-faced Yama, because he could feel that the result of his not telling the truth was that he had been choked by the blue-faced Yama last night and died.
"People, you have to know how to be flexible. Ma Mian comforted himself in his heart and said, "There is a way - those who know the times are handsome, and heroes do not suffer immediate losses." β
Don't care what the owner of the village is not the owner of the village, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, if your life is gone, what freedom will there be? Ma Mian did not think that his sworn brother Niu Tou was still in the hands of He Nan, and He Nan said very clearly at that time, and understood: "If I find out that you have betrayed me, then even if I die, I will have to pull your brother on his back." β
But his own life is about to be guaranteed, and his brother's life is even more incomprehensible, and he is the one who can be contacted by He Nan, if he dies, where will they go to find He Nan? Not to mention the blue-faced Yama Luo Yu out, then He Nan's plan will also be completely frustrated. So whether it's for your own life or taking care of the overall situation-
"Brother, I'm sorry. Ma Mian made a vicious decision in his heart.
Therefore, people have to think carefully before worshipping the handle, and they would rather learn the three righteousness of Taoyuan, and not the incense of Wagang! When they meet a righteous brother like Ma Mian who can share happiness but cannot share sorrow, it is really eight lifetimes of blood mold.
Last night's events were also quite interesting, the blue-faced Yama just walked slowly to the side of the horse, and the horse-faced was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and then he explained all the plans of himself and He Nan, along with the list of people involved in this rebellion and the details, and repeated them to the blue-faced Yama to listen to them word for word.
If this horse face had this memory when he was young, wouldn't it be easy for him to be admitted to the examination and become a petty official, and to fish and flesh the common people in an upright manner?
It seems that stress does bring out the best in people.
The green-faced Yama has always been vigorous and resolute, and this is one of the rich experiences he has gained from his down-and-out life - if he is slow, he will not be able to eat, and if he cannot eat, he will starve to death. So he immediately sent people to pull the leaders of each village out of the bed without stopping, until the seven people finally gathered in the hall of Yama Luo Village in the second half of the night.
"I heard that you people have been dissatisfied with me lately......" The blue-faced Yama leaned on his tiger skin chair with his legs crossed, and unlike just now, the copper plate in his hand was gone, replaced by his weapon, the black ghost-headed iron cable.
"The subordinates don't dare!" The most witty of these people was the second leader who knelt down first, kowtowing and waving towards the blue-faced Yama. Although he didn't know the plan of Ma Mian and the others, and he hadn't heard any bad news recently, he saw that when he walked in, Ma Mian was already kneeling there without saying a word, and he knew that there was a way to learn, and he also crawled a little farther away from Ma Mian while knocking, meaning to draw a line with this guy.
The others saw that the second boss did this, and they also painted the scoop according to the gourd, anyway, it was the first head of the second master, and they also knelt down, even if it was not in line with the boss's wishes, they had to start being scolded by the second master.
For a while, the kowtowing postures of everyone in the hall came and went, but Ma Mian knelt and stood still.
"Okay......" The blue-faced Yama looked at the people below who were groveling to him, and his mood was much better, and he waved his hand to stop them. "Whoever is with Ma Mian, now stand up and I will not punish him. However, if you don't take the initiative to admit that I found out ......"
The green-faced Yama did not continue to talk because everyone knew "what the consequences of not taking the initiative to admit are". "Death" may be the lightest punishment for them - they still remember the tragic situation of the previous right ghost king vividly, and the memory is still fresh - that guy and the blue-faced Yama knew that he was at a loss after going to court, and was about to beg to give him another chance, but he was hit in the face by the ghost head hammer at the end of the iron rope, the flesh and blood were blurred, and seeing that there was only a breath out and no breath entered, the blue-faced Yama also personally took a short knife and skinned him alive, and the death was extremely tragic, even these thieves who were careless about human life could not bear to look at it directly, and were afraid.
The skin of the previous Right Ghost King is still hanging on the flagpole of their Yama Village! The blue-faced Yama occasionally leads the big and small leaders and minions to the flagpole to engage in some team building activities of "seeing things and thinking about people, remembering bittersweet ones".
is so tyrannical and perverted, it's no wonder that Ma Mian swore in front of He Nan before to express his ambitions: "If you don't kill the blue-faced Yama, you are ashamed of your own seven-foot body", and in a blink of an eye, seeing that the blue-faced Yama himself was already a six-godless and ownerless fart, urine, and picking.
The black and white impermanence who were kneeling together here kowtowed like pounding garlic at that time, and shouted: "It's all the bad idea that Ma Mian gave us, and we also listened to his words for a while, and tried to challenge Tianwei with his mantis arm as a car" Yunyun, the left ghost king over there still wanted to shrink back, and the blue-faced Yama threw a look over, and he also followed the example of his predecessor and began to "bang" his head on the ground, and slapped his face while hitting back, and after a while, it was already swollen into a pig's head.
"What do you think the military advisor should do?" The blue-faced Yama Luo rarely did not become angry this time, but handed over the decision-making power to the second master.
The second master is an old fox, he saw the pitiful appearance of these people asking for guilt, plus what they said before, he also knew that these few things that were not big things wanted to pick up the tiger's whiskers, and it seemed that they also collaborated with people outside the cottage to murder the owner of the village. The companion is like a tiger, and the second master has been a staff officer for the blue-faced Yama for all these years, of course, he understands the psychology of the green-faced Yama very well - he uncharacteristically handed over this hot potato to himself, and he didn't want to clean up the portal now. So the second boss made a peacemaker's appearance, and sold a favor to these traitors: "According to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, these people deserve to die, but now that the internal troubles have been resolved, the external troubles have not been eliminated, and everyone needs to work together...... It's better to let them atone for their sins and wait until the dust settles. β
In the end, he seemed to feel that his words were a little inappropriate, and added: "Although they can be exempted from capital crimes, punishment is still indispensable, so as not to lose the strictness of our Yama Village's laws, but also to show the magnanimity and benevolence of your lord." Since this incident, there will be more virtuous people who have been impressed by the charm of the lord of the village and come to run, and the heroes of the world will enter your ranks, and at that time - the name of Yama will be heard all over the world, and no one will know, who will not know?
These two masters are really not in vain, just say that this eloquence is also very comparable, this shouting slogan-like sycophant slap out the blue-faced Yan Luo's mouth "hiss" and gasped, but he was very useful: "Okay...... Then do as you say!" Whether it was the traitors who were still kowtowing to the hall, or the right ghost king who was watching the excitement on the side, they were shocked by the shameless energy of the second master, and thought: "Fuck, this person who has read for a few years is different. "But shock is shock, you can't laugh out loud at all, otherwise even if ten two masters plead together, they will have to be killed on the spot.
In fact, the blue-faced Yama Luo still made up his mind in his heart that he must eat these traitors alive afterwards to set an example, but since the second master has already touted himself so much, of course he is not very easy to attack, so he still has to give him some face, right?" He cleared his throat and said: "Since the second master pleads for you useless waste, then I will spare your dog's life for the time being, and as for whether you are dead or alive after that, it depends on your performance." β
The blue-faced Yama asked Ma Mian to repeat the plan he had made with He Nan to the crowd, and asked the crowd to work together to defeat the enemy. At this time, everyone had already received a temporary gold medal for avoiding death, and in order to turn this "temporary" into "permanent", the traitors were doubly active.
Some people said that "tangled up a vote of people to kill the two agreed on a place", but it was immediately rejected, the reason was that "so many people were scared away by the other party when they saw it, and it was difficult to find a trace of them. Interestingly, this reason was put forward by Ma Mian himself, and he now remembered that he had to cut the grass and eradicate it.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the appointment is this morning, and there is really not much time left before now, even if there are thousands of schemes and thousands of changes, it is difficult to deploy, and in the end everyone has to choose the most primitive method, "the plan will be calculated".
So there was the "Seven Ghosts Going to Xiaoshan" in the early morning, although the second master did not know martial arts, but he was a military advisor, and the blue-faced Yama also felt that it was safer to take him, so he also followed the team. Not only that, but in order to show his loyalty, Ma Mian volunteered to send out more than 200 men from his subordinates to follow behind on foot, and ambushed not far from here, ready to follow the leaders to loot the village at any time.
The agreed location is said to be a village at the foot of Xiaoshan, but it is also some distance from Xiaoshan, and everyone trekked all the way down the mountain in the early morning until noon.
"Be careful...... I'm afraid there is an ambush here. The second master looked at the village from afar, and suddenly said vigilantly to the blue-faced Yama.
"Why did the military advisor say this?" The blue-faced Yama Luo was naturally a little puzzled, this was still some distance from the village, and he didn't see anything unusual as far as his eyes could see, so he asked.
"The owner of the village...... At this time, it was noon, how could ordinary people not eat at noon? If they have to cook, why don't they see the smoke?" "Obviously, the village is already full of ambushes, and they only want to ambush us, so they leave out these details. β
The blue-faced Yama glanced at Ma Mian and motioned for him to go to the limelight first, and Ma Mian also knew that only he who had been in contact with He Nan could shoulder such a heavy responsibility, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to accept it, so he left the team and rode towards the village alone, and everyone naturally stayed where they were and waited.
And Ma Mian walked into the village and shook around, and he didn't see the shadow of half a person, and suddenly heard someone above him call him: "Why are you yourself?"
Ma Mian looked up and found that He Nan was sitting on the roof of the only tiled house in the village with his legs crossed, and Yu Ruyi, dressed in red, was standing behind him, but Wei Yu was missing.
"Hmm...... The owner of the village sent me to inquire first. Ma Mian responded, and then he also asked He Nan: "Why are you two alone?"
Unexpectedly, He Nan looked taken for granted: "Isn't it enough for the two of us?"
Ma Mian's mind was also muddy at this time, what nonsense was this person talking about? He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Don't you have any other ambushes?"
He Nan didn't answer positively, but he didn't deny it: "You yourself said that it was an ambush, so you can still see it?" This was said very cleverly, and even the horse noodles were not sure whether He Nan had any arrangements, so he could only nod to He Nan: "Then I'll go and bring them in." β
Seeing that He Nan didn't react, Ma Mian's heart was even more bottomless, but there is an old saying that if you come, you will be safe - no matter how bad you are, you can take advantage of the chaos for a while, so no matter who wins, you have a way out...... It should be, right?
No matter what, Ma Mian still truthfully reported everything he saw and heard in the village to the blue-faced Yama and the second master, and the second master was also puzzled after listening to it: "Could it be that this guy is singing this empty city plan?"
The final decision-making power is still in the hands of the blue-faced Yama - otherwise how could someone else be the boss? The green-faced Yama has this kind of courage: "No matter what kind of conspiracy he is, he is all vulnerable in the face of absolute power." β
As soon as this remark came out, it attracted a burst of praise from the second master, and it was still some clichΓ©s such as "wise and martial". Everyone swaggered into the village like this, only to find that the road was really as Ma Mian said, and there was a slight strange atmosphere everywhere.
"Horse face, horse face......" He Nan saw the green-faced Yama, and the latter naturally saw the former, but He Nan did not stay on the green-faced Yama's face for too long, but turned to the horse and asked: "You, you...... It's still anti-water. β
Ma had nothing to deny in the face of this, because he either simply admitted it, or he immediately decided to sneak attack the blue-faced Yama - he would never dare to choose the second choice, so he could only ask, "How did you see it?" It can be regarded as a disguised admission to the fact that he is against the water.
"Tsk......" He Nan smiled, "I said I wasn't ready to believe you from the beginning, do you believe it?"
"Then I don't have much to say, do I? Anyway, everyone has their own ghosts from the very beginning......," Ma Mian said smugly.
"You're wrong...... He Nan snorted coldly, "Are you ignoring your brother's life or death?"
Ma Mian was actually a little shaken, but now that he had fallen into the point where it was difficult to ride a tiger, he turned his heart sideways: "Hmph...... Since he wants to challenge Tianwei with his mantis arm as a car, then I have no choice but to deny this brother! Today, our village master wants you to take a good look at what it means to 'no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks he has, he is all vulnerable in the face of absolute power'!"
That's right...... Let's not talk about the words he copied the words of the black and white impermanence and the blue-faced Yama, even the black cauldron of "collusion with He Nan" was completely buckled on the bull's body, but instead he picked himself up completely, as if he was the strange man who had to betray the lord for the sake of brotherly righteousness, and now abandoned the secret and turned to the light.
"Good!good!good!" He Nan clapped his hands three times in a row, "What a conspiracy, what an absolute power, what a vulnerability!"
"Then I'll have a knife to cut your ass today--open your eyes!See what it means to be absolutely powerful and what it means to be vulnerable!" He Nan stood up abruptly, and made a loud noise.
The blue-faced Yama naturally saw Yu Ruyi's shocking appearance, and naturally couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. However, although he was lustful, he was not a fool, and in this case, he was engrossed in observing He Nan's every move.
But seeing that He Nan was calm, he proudly threw out a domineering word, and then grabbed Yu Ruyi's hand and walked away, and jumped off the eaves in a blink of an eye and disappeared.
This guy ...... Slipped?
The second master reacted quickly, and he shouted earnestly: "This guy has set up an empty city plan, chase after him!" Everyone also recovered from their stunned shock, urging the horses under their crotches to chase and kill He Nan.
The people in Yan Luozhai decided that this kid couldn't pretend to be able to go before they chose to go as a plan, and now they have completely dispelled their doubts and let down their vigilance.
But I saw a long sword overturn the thatched hut in front of everyone, and a proud figure fell to the ground and stood with his hands in his hands.
