Chapter 1: Eliminating Violence and Peace
Pan Long lay knee-high in the gray and yellow withered grass, motionless.
While stealth, it consumes 1 mana every 3 minutes, and while lying still, it regenerates 1 mana every 10 minutes. With his current total mana of 34, the cost and regeneration combined can sustain about 150 minutes of stealth.
Two and a half hours was enough for his plan.
He lay there and waited, for about an hour, when the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
Although he couldn't sit up and watch, he could probably tell from the number of hooves that it was indeed the person he was waiting for.
Unless there happen to be four other horseback riders passing by, and they also seem to gallop wantonly regardless of their horses, these people who come should be the famous "Qingyuan Four Evils" in Qingyuan County.
The four pests of Qingyuan are naturally not mosquitoes and flies, but the four bullies of Qingyuan County. These four people, led by a man named Wang Mi, made waves in Qingyuan County, harmed the township, and really did many bad things.
A few days ago, they were galloping through the countryside on horseback and injured an old man. The old man's son reasoned with them, and they tied him up and dragged him behind the horse, dragging him for several miles. Although he didn't die at the time, he died that night after being carried home by the villagers.
The old man was hurt and angry, and he was also dying. The old lady jumped into the river in a sad way, leaving only her daughter-in-law and a two-year-old daughter to rely on each other.
Pan Long happened to be passing by Qingyuan County, and when he learned about it, he felt that he needed to do something.
So he secretly gave the mother and daughter a sum of money, and then looked for the whereabouts of the four evils in Qingyuan.
These four people have always been arrogant and domineering, and they never hide their whereabouts. As soon as he searched, he found a clue - these people went out hunting today, calculated the time, and came back at about three or five o'clock in the afternoon.
So he ambushed the place where the four of them were going to pass by when they returned to the county seat, waiting for an opportunity.
After waiting for a few more moments, in addition to the sound of horses' hooves, there was another sound of talking.
"Second Brother Wang is really skilled, and he shot that pheasant with one arrow!"
"Of course, my eldest brother taught me this ability, and my eldest brother is ......."
Before the man could finish speaking, Pan Long jumped up from the ground the moment they passed by, and with a wave of his right hand, a copper coin with extremely sharp edges flew out with a roar, deeply embedded in the neck of the young man who was boasting.
The man let out a strange cry and rolled over and fell off his horse. The other three were taken aback and hurriedly grabbed the reins, but looked around and saw that there was still half a figure.
"This ...... What's going on?" one asked, "Did you see a figure just now?"
"See. ”
"I saw it too. ”
"That'...... What about people?"
The three of them looked at each other, and then couldn't help but tremble.
The land of Kyushu is not a world where you are not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are many demons and monsters here, there are many ghosts and ghosts, Yizhou is mountainous, there are many monsters on the mountain, and you are attacked by monsters on the road, which is really not such a rare thing.
Although youkai generally attack the kind of single travelers, or the elderly, weak women and children. But maybe they are unlucky, and they meet a monster who thinks that the flesh of a strong man is particularly strong and wants to change the taste?
Thinking of this, they trembled one by one, and they couldn't care about Wang Mi, who fell to the ground and his neck was still spurting blood, so they rode their horses and whips and galloped away.
When the three of them were far away, Pan Long's figure reappeared on the side of the road and smiled coldly.
"Is it useful to run away? I want to see if you come back. ”
He walked up to Wang Mi's side, swept his gaze, and smiled with satisfaction.
The coin was hit with precision and hit the nail on the head. Wang Mi, the head of the four evils of Qingyuan, has become the past perfect tense.
He had already received an aura just now, so he could have been sure of this matter a long time ago. As for now...... He was checking whether he was hitting the copper dart accurately, and wondering what else needed to be improved.
His secret weapon kung fu can only be said to be relatively powerful, and it belongs to the grade of "practice makes perfect". There is still a certain gap between those masters who have family heirloom secret weapons. Proficiency is definitely enough, the key is dexterity.
Maybe an inspiration can make him figure out a powerful secret weapon technique.
I haven't encountered such inspiration yet, but if I don't work hard, inspiration won't fall from the sky, will it?
It's like a famous proverb from a previous life: hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success, but you can't succeed if you don't work hard – that's probably it, right?
Pan Long carefully examined Wang Mi's wounds, recalled the way he shot just now, and nodded slightly.
The effect was pretty much the same as he had expected, with only minor differences.
His figure vanished, appearing in the pure white void of nothingness.
One copper coin after another was thrown by him, trying to improve the blow just now, and he didn't know how long it took, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and when a copper coin was shot, the wind was much quieter than before, but the speed was even faster.
"It's done!" Pan Long was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally practiced a secret weapon skill.
If this trick can be mastered thoroughly, it can be passed on to the younger generations in the family in the future, and the Pan family will have one more martial art that is enough for the children of the future generations to settle down.
He had the heart to practice for a while, but he felt that his heart was empty, knowing that he had cultivated for too long, and the feeling of loneliness had penetrated into his bone marrow, and he had to return to reality.
Returning from the void of nothing, he looked at the vast wilderness around him, and for a while he only felt that the world was lonely, and people were too small to mention in it, what ideals, what feelings...... Everything is meaningless, not even life is meaningless, so empty that you almost go crazy.
He couldn't help but let out a howl of pain, roared for a while, and looked down to see Wang Mi's still bleeding corpse, before he gradually calmed down.
“...... How can it be meaningless? For the sake of heaven and violence, I don't have time to look at the smiles of those ordinary people, and it is a good pastime to see the hideous and terrifying appearance of these villains when they die!"
"If Ah Feng is here, he will definitely support me!"
He muttered to himself, a smile on his face.
After a long time, his mood finally calmed down completely, looked at the sky, nodded, and hid in the grass by the side of the road.
After another half an hour, a group of people came roaring on horses. The man at the head was dressed in brocade, his figure was extremely burly, and the horse he was riding was half a head taller than ordinary horses.
What's even more concerning is the murderous intent on his face, a pair of copper bell-like eyes glaring viciously, as if everyone owes him the revenge of killing his father and wife, and seems to be ready to pull out a knife and cut people at any time.
On the back few horses, the remaining three of the four harms in Qingyuan were bleeding one by one, and they were embarrassed. One has a crooked nose, one has a deflated mouth, and another is simply missing half an ear.
They looked at the big man with a little resentment, but they didn't dare to show the slightest practical expression, and even lowered their heads, so as not to be noticed by the other party.
Because, this big man is the real overlord of Qingyuan County, and he is also the backer behind the four evils of Qingyuan.
Tian Mi's biological eldest brother, "Tigers in Brocade" Tian Shu.
Tian Shu was just an ordinary scoundrel back then, and when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he once suffered a loss and lost face, and he couldn't get along in his hometown, so he had to go away.
I don't know what happened to him outside, but when he returned ten years later, he was already a congenital master.
He killed all the families who had offended him in the past, men, women, and children, killed hundreds of people in one go, and beheaded the heads of the court that wanted to arrest him, and then he fell into the grass and became a robber.
The reputation of the Jinyi Tiger gradually began, and Tian Mi and others relied on his prestige to run rampant in the township and become the "Four Evils of Qingyuan".
Now Tian Mi was killed by the monster, but the other three escaped alive, Tian Shu did not cut them directly, it can be regarded as a fruitful self-cultivation in the past few years, and the killing is much more restrained than back then.
The horses galloped like flies, and after a while, they came to Tian Mi's corpse. Tian Shu jumped off the horse, not caring at all that there might be a monster nearby, and picked up his brother's corpse.
He only had one look at it and knew that his brother was indeed unsaved.
As soon as I put my hand together, I understood it even more - the whole person was cold.
Tian Shu's thick eyebrows were upside down, and he looked at the copper coin embedded in his younger brother's neck viciously, and stretched out his hand to take it off.
The style of this coin is no different from that of ordinary coins, except for the handwriting on it.
The obverse of an ordinary coin is the words "Great Xia Tongbao", but the obverse of this copper coin is the words "The World is Peaceful".
"The world is peaceful, hehe...... It's good, it's very good!"
He said viciously, and with a force on his hand, the copper coin turned into powder, which was blown by the wild wind and scattered without a trace.
Then he stood up and said to the people who had arrived one after another and were waiting, "It wasn't a monster who killed my brother, he was a master of hidden weapons. This man used sharpened copper coins as a secret weapon, and his skills were extraordinary. ”
Everyone was taken aback - copper money darts are not uncommon in the rivers and lakes, but copper money darts are not real copper coins, but windmill-shaped hidden weapons, but the overall look is slightly round, so it is far-fetched to call it copper money darts.
Copper coins are light and thin, and it is not something that ordinary people can do when they really use it as a secret weapon to kill people!
"That'...... How should we find him?" asked one of Tian Shu's henchmen.
Tian Shu said coldly: "I can't do anything about him, but I will post a green forest post and ask all green forest friends to help track it down." As long as you find this person, you will definitely kill his whole family and make him regret what he did today!"
As he spoke, he slammed his fist to the ground, and the solid pavement was blasted into a cobweb-like mark.
At this moment, he was startled, and his body stood up suddenly, but he fell down again.
A figure suddenly appeared on the side of the road not far from him, his hands waving out, and cold light pierced the air.
A moment later, Pan Long stood in the middle of a mass of corpses and smiled with satisfaction.
"The Tian brothers are dead, and their most powerful accomplices are also dead, I think Qingyuan County should be able to be stable for a while, and the people can live a few days of peace of mind. ”
"It's just...... I've run out of my previous special copper dart and need to replenish some more. ”
He looked down at the terrified corpses and smiled happily.
"The lives of you guys are only worth this penny of counterfeit money!"
