Chapter 127: Defection
The remnant sun is like blood, dyeing the heavens and the earth, and also dyeing the placket of Wushan's clothes.
Before nightfall, Wushan found a ruined temple and had a temporary shelter.
The location of this ruined temple is in the plain area between Pinggu Pass and Qinghe City, and it is already close to **Guguan.
The reason why Wushan did not choose to rush overnight is also to consider that Pinggu Pass at night may be more dangerous.
Moreover, Wushan felt that crossing Pinggu Pass during the day was the most appropriate approach.
There are no idols in the ruined temple, and it is dilapidated.
However, Wushan can still see that there should be people sleeping here often.
Because there are still some charcoal ashes left in the open space in the middle of the ruined temple, and there are some unburned wood around it.
Wushan took out the fire fold, lit dry wood, and the fire light shone on the broken temple, and the surrounding darkness was expelled.
Wushan took out a piece of fish, sprinkled it with spices, and grilled it.
Wushan's mood has become heavier and heavier since he left Qinghe City.
The area outside Qinghe City within a radius of thirty miles was fine, and the guards were sweeping every three days.
But when entering the area thirty miles away, there were more and more evil ghosts, and in just one afternoon, there were as many as seven evil spirits killed by Wushan along the way.
Ground Killing!
Wu Shan really didn't expect it, because he burned the natal scriptures and condensed a [Taiyin Wheel], which triggered a heaven and earth killing machine.
After leaving the city, Wushan really understood that the chaos outside the city was worse than before he came to Qinghe, I don't know how many times.
The ruined temple was very quiet, there was not even the sound of insects and birds chirping, and the degree of chaos in the qi machine could be imagined.
After eating the fish, Wu Shan squinted and fell asleep by the fire.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
At about the same time, two strange cooing sounds came from outside the broken temple, and Wushan opened his eyes instantly, and the murderous machine in his pupils flashed.
Outside the ruined temple, the night birds learned to call two strong men dressed in shabby animal skins, holding long knives, and dressed as bandits.
After the birdsong, two figures gathered under a large tree not far from the ruined temple.
"Boss, there are people in the ruined temple!"
"I know! Second, before you came, I had been watching from afar, and there was only one person inside. ”
"A person, it won't be another legless (no money), right?"
The bandit, who was called the boss, shook his head, looked in the direction of the ruined temple, and squinted and said.
"Those who come on horseback are still wildebeests."
"Wildebeest? The people of the Guards? ”
The second bandit exclaimed in a low voice, and his vest was slightly cold.
"Dressed in a white robe, he looks like a college student who is not dressed as a guard."
"Book...... Book...... College students? ”
"Hmm!"
The two bandits fell silent, and under normal circumstances, there are two kinds of bandits like them who do not rob them, and retreat when they meet them.
One is the guards of the major cities, and the other is the students of the major academies.
The reason why you don't rob is not because there are relevant rules on the road, but because you don't have enough strength to beat the other party.
"That'...... Boss, let's leave now? ”
"Leave? In the middle of the night, what should I do if I encounter an old yin (evil ghost)? ”
"Boss, you don't want to ......"
The bandit boss didn't speak, but looked in the direction of the ruined temple, looked at the glittering fire that was exposed, and wrinkled his eyebrows in thought.
"Second child, how many yin goods did you say we encountered in the past few days?"
"Since the three days before the Yin ghost invaded the nest, there have been no less than thirty heads!"
"And before?"
"In the past, it was not possible to meet one in a month or two, and it was impossible for such a thing as invading our nest to happen."
The second bandit squinted and recalled the past, full of nostalgia for the peaceful days in the past.
After a while, the second bandit jumped out of his memories and made a suggestion.
"Boss, why don't we go to the area close to Qinghe City?"
"Close to Qinghe City? Do you want to be swept away by the Guards? Do you want to be a rat being chased and shouted and killed every day? ”
"So what do you say?"
Thinking of the possibility and fate of being swept away by the guards, the second bandit also dispelled the unrealistic thought in his heart.
"What to do...... What to do? ”
The bandit boss rubbed his slightly prickly beard, looked at the direction of the ruined temple, and had some kind of thought in his heart.
"Second brother, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to mix these days, why don't we go to the academy student in the temple?"
"Well, it's really hard to mess up...... Boss, what did you just say? To whom? ”
The second bandit habitually nodded yes, and when he turned around, he stared at the bandit boss with a pair of big eyes incredulously.
"Don't look at me, we've also explored this area in the past two days, there are old yin goods everywhere, if we don't find a backer, we will be gnawed by them sooner or later."
The bandit boss glanced at the second bandit, the surrounding environment is too bad now, he doesn't want to follow his brother all the time, and he can't get good results.
If they had put it aside, with the skills of their two brothers, in addition to robbing the rich and helping the poor, they could also hunt and make traps, and it would have been easier to feed themselves.
But after these two days of probing, not to mention any goats and hares, they did not even see the shadow of a mouse.
"Boss, I listen to you, but where do we find the ladder?"
The bandit boss didn't speak, but stared at the broken temple, and after a while, he turned his head and said to the second bandit.
"Second child, follow me!"
Inside the broken temple, Wu Shan stared in the direction of the temple gate, and the spirit spear had already appeared in his hand.
Phew! Whisper!
The sound of footsteps stepping on dead branches was heard, and there were not many people listening to the sound, only two people.
Two figures appeared at the door of the ruined temple, they looked at Wushan sitting quietly by the fire, and the two bowed their hands one after another.
Wu Shan didn't speak, and looked at the two of them indifferently, the strength of these two people's third realm of qi and blood was vulnerable in Wushan's eyes at this time.
However, the actions of the two people at the door in the next moment made Wu Shan's eyebrows rise.
The two people at the gate of the temple did not enter the temple immediately, but lowered down and took off the leather boots on their feet, wiped their feet with a wool cloth, and then respectfully walked into the broken temple.
This behavior has a special meaning in Wushan's eyes: barefoot on the field, down-to-earth.
This is a practice that has been passed down from the military, which means that the two of them are sincere and sincere about what they are going to do next.
Of course, after this behavior came out of the army, it was also borrowed by some loyal people who were righteous and heroic, but this was the first time Wushan had encountered it.
Wu Shan still had an indifferent expression, angry and unpleasant, and there was no emotion on his face.
"Dare to ask sir, but a student of the academy?"
The bandit boss, with the second bandit, approached Wushan, stopped at a distance that he thought would make Wushan feel safe, and asked.
Wu Shan didn't say anything, and looked into the eyes of the bandit boss, and Wu Shan didn't see any evil intentions in it.
I don't know how long it took, after a crackling sound came from the fire, Wu Shan nodded, still did not speak.
However, Wushan's nod made the bandit boss and the bandit second greatly relieved.
Wu Shan looked indifferent, surprised in his heart, his eyes were slightly cold, looking at the two brothers who were busy on the other side of the fire, and he couldn't guess what they wanted to do.
Looking at the dress, these two must be first-class bandits.
However, what these two are doing at the moment doesn't look like a bandit at all.
Wu Shan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the bandit boss kept taking out all kinds of sacrificial things from his arms, and knew that the bandit boss must have a treasure bag in his arms.
"Bandits, Na Bao Bao, interesting!"
After sighing in his heart, Wu Shan continued to pay attention to the two who suddenly jumped out to be extremely respectful to him, Wu Shan was really a little curious.
A quarter of an hour later, on the other side of the fire, an incense offering table was set up.
On the incense table, there was a smoked rabbit leg, six wild fruits, a jar of honey, and most importantly, the two of them also lit two incense candles.
Just when Wushan frowned and pondered, the bandit duo over there had already knelt in front of the incense case, and after kowtowing to Wushan three times, the bandit boss spoke.
"Put on the incense table to worship the gods, and show my brother's sincerity!"
"In Xia Liuhong!" "I'm in the next place!"
"Today, I would like to be a guard under Mr., swear allegiance to the death, never betray, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder!"
"Please take our brother too!"
Well, this time, Wushan really didn't expect it.
first went on the field barefoot and down-to-earth, which made Wushan a little unclear.
Now there is another incense case to worship the gods, with Wushan as the main thing, and Wushan as the god, in order to show sincerity.
In the face of the operation of the two, Wushan could only nod, and three question marks floated on his head.
Forget it, the key is what are the names of these two brothers?
Liu Hong (Liu Hong) Li Biao (Li Biao)?
Are you afraid that I Wushan will be regarded as Tang Seng and his father Chen Guangrui?
Wu Shan sat there without speaking, partly because he was too surprised, and partly because it came so suddenly.
Even if you want to show loyalty, you have to do it anyway, right?
Now I don't fight, I don't ask, I don't ask, I have to confess the Lord when I come up.
You two, I'm afraid you got the wrong script when you entered, right?
"Please take our brother too!"
"Please take our brother too!"
Seeing that Wushan didn't speak, Liu Hong and Li Biao made a request again.
Wu Shan looked at the two people who suddenly jumped out to be loyal, thought about it and asked.
"Why is that?"
When the bandit boss Liu Hong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly.
"My two brothers were originally members of the vanguard battalion of the Qingjing City Guard, after the division of the capital, our brothers no longer have a sense of belonging to the imperial court, and fled to their hometown, far away from the court, and became bandits who robbed the rich and helped the poor." (Qingjing, the imperial capital of Qingguo)
When the bandit boss Liu Hong said the word bandit, his tone was a little weaker, he glanced at Wushan and explained more.
"Our two brothers, dare to swear to the sky, we will never hurt the innocent, and robbing the rich and helping the poor is also choosing those who have a bad reputation and are unkind to the rich."
"Three days ago, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and after the wind and rain, in this area where our brothers usually operate, the demons and evil spirits suddenly increased, and it can be said that there are demons everywhere."
"Mr. is a student of the college, and I want to enter the wall of Mr. Citizen's door, be a thug who cares for the house, and want to be stable, that's all."
The bandit boss Liu Hong was talking, but Wushan was wandering.
Because of the bandit boss Liu Hong's sentence 'Three days ago, there were thunderstorms in the sky, and after the wind and rain, the demons and evil charms suddenly increased...... which made Wushan's heart sink to the bottom.
Wu Shan knows that this is no wonder of himself, the "Yin Fu Sutra" and the [Taiyin Wheel] are actually just an introduction, and the real reason is that this heaven and earth are incomplete and the rules are incomplete.
The appearance of the "Yin Fu Sutra" has, to a certain extent, completed a trace of the Heavenly Dao.
From this point of view, Wushan has great merit to the world.
However, because of the appearance of the "Yin Fu Sutra", the earth was killed, and not only the human race was implicated, but other races were also implicated.
This is a catastrophe, and it is a catastrophe that all beings in this world have to face.
Wushan was thinking about things, and Liu Hong and Li Biao in front of the incense case didn't dare to disturb them, and after the two glanced at each other, they chose to continue to kneel there, quietly waiting for Wushan's decision.
I don't know how long it took, a yin wind struck, waking up Wushan.
"Get up!"
"Now, I won't take you in, but I can give you a chance!"
After Wu Shan said this, Huo Ran got up, and while chanting poetry in his mouth, he waved the spirit spear in his hand.
A tone condensed into a cavalryman armed with a silver spear, and single-handedly rushed towards the gate of the broken temple.
Poof!
A wisp of evil spirit that had just floated to the door was stabbed by a shot from the cavalry, turned into a cloud of black smoke, and disappeared.
The lancer neighed for miles, and then dissipated.
This is the secret technique of Wushan New Society, from a sentence:
"Yang spurs the horses, and the silver spear reflects the sun."
Wu Shan Xiaoxiao showed his hand, extinguished the evil spirit, and also shocked the duo beside him.
The evil was killed, and Wu Shan turned his head to Liu Hong and Li Biao, who were still kneeling on the ground, and said.
"Do you want to listen to me?"
"Listen!" "Listen!"
When Liu Hong and Li Biao heard this, they stood up in disgust, and the two stared at Wushan excitedly, looking like a subordinate sent by Ren Er.
Wu Shan didn't speak, pointed to the leather boots outside the door, and then pointed to the incense case, asking them to put on their shoes and put away the incense case.
In just a few breaths, Liu Hong and Li Biao had already packed up, standing respectfully and decently in front of Wushan.
Seeing the standing posture of Liu Hong and Li Biao, Wu Shan could see that they were indeed from the army, and only soldiers would have this habitual standing posture.
"Early tomorrow morning, come with me to Qingyang County."
"When I return to Qinghe City, I will decide whether to accept you or not!"
Liu Hong and Li Biao nodded yes, and did not show the slightest hesitation because of Wushan's uncertain tone.
In this way, there was nothing to say all night, and Wushan did not tell Liu Hong and Li Biao their names, let alone the purpose of their trip to Qingyang County.
Of course, in terms of title, Wushan asked Liu Hong and Li Biao to call themselves Mr. or Son.
Speaking of which, Liu Hong and Li Biao are also clever, and they are a son when they open their mouths and close their mouths, completely ignoring the word Mr.
Sir, it's usually called by outsiders!
And the one who is called Childe is either his own person, or a civilized person!
Facing Liu Hong and Li Biao's cleverness, Wu Shan smiled.
Early the next morning, Wushan rode a wildebeest in front, Liu Hong and Li Biao ran on the side, and the three of them went straight to the first line of Tianping Valley Pass.
