Chapter 18: Thieves Are Not Thieves

In a forest about thirty miles away from Tianlan Village, the figure of the copper finch appeared, and the copper finch was a little sluggish at the moment, and only the copper finch in one realm was able to escape from Tianlan Village, obviously paying a lot of price.

With the entrance of an elixir, the situation of the bronze sparrow was a little better.

At this time, a man who looked like an official came out of the forest, clapped his palms, and his eyes were full of appreciation for the bronze sparrow.

"It's worthy of the adult's choice, but I didn't expect you to really steal that painting."

Tong Que looked at this man, he was in Changyang County before, when this man handed over to him, he was not dressed like this, he only said that he was a rich merchant who collected antiques, and he wanted an ancient painting in a village to steal it.

"My lord? So who the hell are you? The brasshorn was removed.

The man didn't seem to have the threat of the bronze sparrow, but bowed with a smile: "In Xia Li Min, it's just a pawn under the deputy town guard of Changyang County." ”

"Give me the painting, the money will naturally be indispensable to you, and besides, you will also reap the favor of the deputy town guard, why not?"

"For a person like me, the deputy town guard of Changyang County is indeed a remarkable figure." Bronze Sparrow did not refute.

Li Min didn't hear the other meaning of Tongque's words, and praised it: "Acquaintance." ”

"But I have a question?" Bronze Sparrow said.

"Oh?" Li Min's expression was a little unhappy, and he felt that something was wrong, but out of the importance of the picture scroll, he still let Tongque continue.

"This Tianlan Village, it's a little strange, the village is full of immortal cards, isn't it a village of loyal martyrs? For this reason, I also went back to confirm that it was indeed as I thought. When he heard this, Li Min's face was already gloomy as water.

"Every family is plain, countless immortal cards stand in the house, such a loyal village, I have never heard of it in the county, my lord, don't you think it's strange?" The bronze sparrow scoffed.

As the words fell, a team of fully equipped crossbowmen came out of the forest and surrounded the Bronze Sparrow, all of which were flashing with cold light, pointing directly at the Bronze Sparrow.

This is the Tang Dynasty Shenji Battalion, which is only directly ordered by the county guard, and is usually under the coordination and jurisdiction of the town guard.

And the crossbow in their hands, called the jackdaw, because of its shape like a flying crow and get this name, the jackdaw crossbow can hurt the monk, under dozens of jackdaw crossbows, even the bronze skin and iron bones of the first and second realm martial artists have to die.

The bronze bird turned a deaf ear, and when he saw these jackdaw crossbowmen of the Divine Machine Battalion, the contempt in his eyes was even worse: "It seems that the adults don't want me to return to the county capital alive, right?" ”

Li Min was bound to win, and said: "The Bronze Sparrow girl is indeed smart, there is no way, the matter of Tianlan Village is a special situation, and only the dead can keep secrets." ”

Li Min took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles, revealing the momentum of a martial artist in the Second Realm.

Twelve jackdaw crossbows, plus Li Min, a martial artist of the second realm, took down the bronze sparrow of only one realm, which was more than enough.

"Hand over the scroll, you can die quickly!" Li Min said.

Tongque slowly took off the scabbard behind his back, and said: "The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and I also have my rules, don't steal the old and weak, don't steal the loyal and good family, this Tianlan Village is loyal and martyrful, my lord, you are making me break the rules!" ”

"And the price of breaking my rules is death!"

"Die!" As the word came out of the mouth of the bronze sparrow, the knife was unsheathed.

Twelve jackdaw crossbows were fired almost simultaneously, and as a result, the bronze sparrow was long gone.

The bronze sparrow dodged this wave of shots with the Cloud Escape Secret Technique, approached a row of crossbowmen, and killed six people with a single sword.

"Bloody escape!" The bronze finch erupted in blood mist, and with its own blood, in exchange for explosive speed, it turned back and approached the other six people, the cold sword light was as bright as snow, and then six more people were killed.

A team of jackdaw crossbowmen of the Divine Machine Battalion were completely wiped out without any merit.

Tongque was covered in blood, it was his own blood, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he staggered with a knife, looked at Li Min, and said provocatively: "This knife is my rivers and lakes!" ”

Li Min was moved: "What a strong woman, I admire you, but now that you have run out of oil, what can you do to fight with me, and obediently suffer death, so as not to suffer more flesh and skin." ”

"Life or death, said the knife."

"Well said!" Li Min put on a pair of fist gloves, which were his weapons, the martial arts of the Second Realm, had been boiled to the bones, and his skin and flesh were close to gold and iron, and he was already not afraid of ordinary swords.

In the forest, the two hedged together, and the petite figure of the bronze finch instantly flew upside down into the shadows of the forest.

Li Min rushed into the shadows, his right fist emitting a yellow glow, and he wanted to kill the bronze finch directly.

"No Return to the Goose!" A goose chirped, and a knife startled the birds in the forest, Li Min retreated, covering his neck, his face full of disbelief.

"Her knife, how can it be so sharp?!" This was the last thought in Li Min's mind.

Blood gushed up on the wound, Li Min lost consciousness, and with one knife, Li Min in the second realm, died.

Brass Sparrow gasped, glanced at the corpses on the ground, walked to a tree with his knife and sat down, caressing the blade.

"In the end, you saved me, master."

The reason why the Bronze Sparrow's knife can break the flesh and skin of a second-realm martial artist so easily is that this knife is famous and ranks thirty-first in the hundred soldiers' spectrum.

The thirty-first soldier of the hundred soldiers: the goose does not return.

This is a relic of Master Bronze Sparrow, more precisely, it should be specially stolen by Master Bronze Sparrow for Bronze Sparrow.

Bronze Sparrow is an orphan, and her master is a thief.

The master stole a lot of things, even the things in the imperial city also thought about it, but in the end he didn't dare to go.

Later, the master passed on all his skills to Tongque, and told Tongque that if you want to be in the rivers and lakes, you have to abide by the rules as a thief.

A stealing thing, not hurting anyone.

Second, do not steal the elderly, weak, women and children.

3. Do not steal the homes of the poor.

Fourth, do not steal the home of loyalty.

If you do these four things, you can no longer be called a thief, but a thief, because thieves also have a way, and thieves have no way.

The master's words were remembered by the bronze finch and kept abiding.

Later, the master's injuries in his early years worsened, and there was not much to live, so the master went out alone, and when the master came back, he was already dying, and the one who came back with the master was the thirty-first goose in the hundred soldiers' spectrum.

Tongque still remembers what the master said before he died: "The master has been sneaky in his life and has no skills, and finally went to Chang'an to get you this knife and keep a memory." ”

The name of the knife goose is gone, and the master is gone.

And now this goose does not return, but it has saved the life of the bronze sparrow.

"Master, the bronze finch misses you a little." The seriously injured bronze finch hugged the knife and slowly fell asleep.

When the copper bird woke up, it was already dusk, put away the knife, and the copper bird dragged the injury and walked towards Tianlan Village.

"I'm going to have to return it."

Outside Tianlan Village, the bronze finch returned, holding the fragment.

"Little thief bronze sparrow, come and return what you have stolen!"

"Little thief bronze sparrow, come and return what you have stolen!"

“......”

The voice of the bronze bird hovered over Tianlan Village, as the master said, the copper bird can be a thief and a chivalrous, but it must not be a thief.

was still drinking, and the yellow-toothed old beggar, who was already drunk, suddenly became agitated, and he had no intention of drinking.

"Little girl, why did you send this thing back!"

Angry, the yellow-toothed old beggar slapped his thigh.

As for the second master, he looked incredulous, and then led people to the entrance of the village happily and welcomed back the fragments, Chen Qingshan stood on the roof of the house, watching all this.

"What a strange thief, or rather, a thief." Chen Qingshan muttered.

The second master did not embarrass Tong Que, but Tong Que mentioned "Be careful of the deputy town guard of Changyang County".

The second master said "injustice", and then sighed, and welcomed the scroll back to the Wuxian Temple.

Tongque glanced at Chen Qingshan on the roof, and then left.
