Chapter 40: Bait
I saw that the strong man scavenged the unconscious person's storage bag and the magic weapon in his arms, and took out another artifact to pierce the person's dantian, and the unconscious man let out a miserable cry that was not like a human voice.
"Now look at what you kid is running with!" The strong man couldn't help but laugh when he saw this person's dantian shattered.
"Brother, I still have something to do, go first. The woman gave her a cold look, then turned into a white light and left.
The strong man casually threw this person down, recited a few incantations, and the shield on Han Yu's body turned into a ball of light and flew into the strong man's hand, and the strong man became a little interested and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"Thank you seniors for saving your life!" Han Yu first saluted the strong man, and then slowly revealed his origin.
"The junior is an official in Jian'an City, and this time he is stationed in the mine for a year." Han Yu honestly explained his origins, he had just heard them talk about the ore vein, it was very likely that he was a monk guarding the mine, and Han Yu was not afraid that this person would be poisoned.
The strong man nodded, but some of them showed interested looks: "You junior is also a fellow practitioner, but this cultivation is also too low, you are only refining the second layer of qi, how long have you been cultivating?"
"The junior has been practicing for four years..."Han Yu's face turned red, and he casually told a lie, saying that the worse his qualifications, the better.
The strong man obviously asked casually, and when he saw that everyone was surrounding this side, he pointed to the unconscious guy who fell to the ground and said, "My flying sword can't carry that far, you junior sent this person to the mine." ”
"Yes, senior!"
Han Yu hurriedly bowed respectfully, and the strong man nodded, turning into a blue light and leaving.
After a cup of tea, everyone who had fled for their lives rushed over one after another, and asked what happened, Han Yu casually told what happened, and asked the guards to tie up the person with a thick hemp rope.
This person can escape so far in front of the foundation building cultivator, he must be a high-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, although he abolished Han Yu, he is still cautious, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.
Everyone discussed for a while, planning to go to the town in front of them to settle down first, and tomorrow they were on their way, and they were really scared today.
Han Yu went to the town, found a familiar shop and chartered it, arranged for everyone to eat and drink, feed the horses some essences, and instructed the cook to bring good wine and food, and let Xiao Er prepare hot water.
After ordering a table full of good dishes, Han Yu invited Ouyang Cheng over, and the two of them ate and drank together. The dishes in this countryside are naturally not as delicate as Jian'an, but several kinds of game are also very chewy to eat.
"Childe, have a drink first!" Han Yu poured Ouyang Cheng full of wine and said, "There is also a green house in this town, I have found two Oiran for Childe, and now Childe is good and relaxed." ”
"It's still your kid who is reliable!" Ouyang Cheng smiled when he heard this.
While eating and drinking, Han Yu told Ouyang Cheng what he had seen and heard today, only to hear Ouyang Cheng say with some consternation: "Brother, you are really blessed, it is very likely that you met the foundation building monk!"
"Childe, this senior asked us to escort the prisoners, will there be any danger on the way?" Han Yu had been thinking about the problem, and always felt that the behavior of the immortal made him feel inexplicably familiar, so he asked worriedly.
Ouyang Cheng drank a bowl of wine, and said in a bit of confusion: "You think too much, this immortal will harm us for no reason, come and drink!"
"For no reason?" Han Yu held the bowl but did not drink, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
Accompanied by Ouyang Cheng to eat and drink, Han Yu sent the arrival to the Qinglou, ordered another meal, and came to the firewood room where he was imprisoned.
The detained person was about fifty, and his face was not vicious, and when he saw the food in Han Yu's hand, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and feed me a few mouthfuls, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten a mouthful of hot food in the past few days!"
Han Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he put down the food at the door, and found a stick to push the food in front of the man.
Seeing that Han Yu was so cautious, the man couldn't help but sneer: "I was broken in my dantian, and now I can't even kill a chicken, are you still afraid of me?"
Han Yu didn't answer, and the man didn't pay attention to it, so he lay down and licked the hot meal, and only then sat up after eating most of it, and his face was full of some grains of rice.
"Junior, if you don't leave, do you have something to ask me?" the man took the initiative to accost.
Han Yu was also a little bored at this time, so he asked, "Why did you steal the spirit stones in this mine?"
Unexpectedly, this question caused the man to laugh wildly, and after a while, he said: "Of course, it is to exchange some resources, you are only refining the second layer of qi, one day you will know, this immortal cultivation is difficult!"
Han Yu has a deep understanding that there is a world of difference between silent penance and taking pills, if he didn't get the pills and spirit stones, I'm afraid that now he will only be a poor worm at the first level of qi refining.
"Junior, looking at your poor and sour appearance and no elders, you must know that this cultivation realm does not rely on talent, nor on hard work, but on your background. ”
This person is also a talker, and continued: "I am also a monk at the tenth level of Qi refining, and I have to save flowers for every spirit stone on weekdays, and I have to calculate when I eat a pill! ”
After the man finished speaking impassionedly, he looked at Han Yu with some emotion and continued: "Little brother, as long as you let me go, my brother will give you a fortune." ”
"Oh?" Han Yu had an expectant expression on his face, "What's the benefit?"
Seeing that Han Yu's reaction was as he thought, the man looked left and right for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I also hid ten spirit stones on the way, as long as you let me go, I will tell you!"
"Tell me first, I'll let you go!" Han Yu followed with a sinking voice.
"Little brother, this ....." The man pretended to hesitate, and after a moment he reluctantly nodded: "Come here with your ears." ”
Han Yu saw that this person was tied to death by a rope, and when he saw that he was not threatening, he leaned over, and the man whispered a word, and Han Yu nodded and retreated after hearing this.
"Little brother?" the man asked, a little surprised.
Han Yu picked up the plate on the ground, turned around and left, and said seriously: "I'll go to investigate tomorrow, if you really get the spirit stone, I will let you go." ”
After saying that, Han Yu turned around and left, and the man angrily scolded Han Yu behind him for ignoring morality, and when the footsteps disappeared completely, a strange smile appeared on the man's face.
"Am I really a fool?"
Han Yu walked out of the door of the inn, looked up, and there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, this person really thought he was a mallet!
Eating and drinking with Ouyang Cheng, that sentence gave Han Yu inspiration. Of course, this immortal would not harm them for no reason, but what if they were valuable?
For example... Use them to lure the gang that steals spirit stones!
Han Yu had long known that in the eyes of the monks, the lives of mortals were not worth mentioning, even if they all died and could catch some clues, the monks would definitely do it!
This is like Han Yu asking a group of dragons to test the details of the Qin family, watching them die in front of his eyes without any fluctuations in his heart, because in his eyes, those people are just small people.
In the same way, in the eyes of the monks, they are also small people, let them take felons to the mines, they ambush in the surrounding area, they can catch everyone happy, if they can't catch it, there is no loss, the dead are just mortals.
Han Yu went to deliver food, and he also had the idea of inquiring, and the address he just said was the only way to go to the mine!
Han Yu didn't plan to tell everyone about this news, but went to the carriage and horse shop to buy an identical carriage and let Xiao Er send it to the inn.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning a group of people got up and were busy, and Ouyang Cheng also returned from the Qinglou staggeringly.
When everyone packed up and waited for departure, Han Yu walked out of the room and said to the leading guard: "Escort Ling, you take the big guy first, my son and I have some important things to do." ”
Han Yu threw a gold ingot at the guard, and the guard smiled and agreed.
Seeing the group slowly leave, Han Yu sighed, he would rather his thoughts were too dark, but there was a voice in his heart reminding him that this was very likely to be the truth!
Back at the inn, Ouyang Cheng was sleeping soundly, Han Yu casually found a reason to stay with him, Ouyang Cheng was also very happy, he didn't want to go to that desolate place.
Returned to his room to practice silently, and when Ouyang Cheng woke up, the two of them went to have a meal together, and Han Yu waited until the evening and rode out of the town on a fast horse.
Just after riding dozens of miles, a caravan ran back in a panic, and Han Yu clearly remembered that they had set off in the morning.
"I'm the Jian'an Economic Envoy, why are you so panicked?" Han Yu stopped the caravan and asked with a show of his waist card.
When the fat steward heard this, he suddenly had a backbone, and said with a sad face: "Something is wrong!"
"You guys talk slowly, what's going on?" Han Yu was shocked and said in a soothing tone.
"At the mouth of the Maple Leaf Valley, a caravan was all slaughtered!" the steward's voice trembled, and the fat on his face jumped, "My lord, you quickly send officers and soldiers to investigate, it's miserable!"
After the steward finished speaking, he beckoned his subordinates to hurry, he was already frightened, Han Yu hesitated for a moment on his horse, and rode towards Maple Leaf Valley.
As night fell, Han Yu arrived at his destination. The fragments of the carriage were scattered all over the ground, and the people who were still alive in the morning had become cold, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting.
Han Yu glanced at it a few times, but did not restrain himself and turned to leave. His reasoning was correct, the monk was using them as bait!
Only hard-hearted people can live in this world!
This world of cultivating immortals is a hundred times bloodier than the mundane!
Han Yu was already a little angry, but when his mind calmed down, the anger gradually dissipated, and at this time, he understood a truth: money and status are things outside the body, and only one's own strength is the foundation of one's life.
When he was a child, his friends circled around him and took him as his head, because they were all tenants of the family, and they wanted to slap themselves. And a fire burned the house to the ground, and the group of friends no longer took a fancy to themselves, and replaced them with a well-to-do child as the leader.
Later, he went to learn martial arts from his master, and the gangsters in the town bullied him every day, and when he learned martial arts, he beat a beater half-crippled, and since then, no one in the town dares to bully himself.
Slipping the door and picking the lock in the town, it was even half stealing and half robbing, and those bitter masters also turned a blind eye and did not dare to step forward to stop them, which was a means of fear of themselves.
The master died, and he took Li Yuan to Jian'an, relying on strength along the way, if his martial arts were too weak, he would have died at the hands of the bandits, not just robbed of his property.
When he came to Jian'an, Li Yuan was bullied, but Han Yu was ruthless enough to deter others from going to the government to denounce him.
If he didn't learn martial arts, or if he didn't do martial arts, or if he offended Ouyang Bo when he threw a hydrangea, what would happen to him now?
If he was also the foundation building monk, how could the strong man dare to be the bait himself?
The external conditions are all virtual, that is, they can be useful in a short period of time, but they are not their own after all, and they cannot be used as a barrier, but can only be used as a tool and means.
Only when one's own strength is strong, this is something that no one can take away, and this is the capital to settle down.
Strength, only power, can do whatever you want!
