Chapter 23: The Bandits
It may be the first time that someone has done something to kill people and sell goods, and his face is very nervous, and his pace is not fast.
"To kill or not to kill?" The fat man turned his head to look at Yun Yi, signaling for him to decide whether the other party lived or died.
Yun Yi nodded silently, and after nodding, he saw the fat man rubbing his hands, so he stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm not happy in my heart, I'll come by myself." ”
The fat man took a few steps back, Yun Yi waited for the other party to approach, and the other party saw that the two of them had no fear, and muttered in his heart and stopped. After a while, the other party turned his heart sideways, and suddenly raised the iron adze and rushed towards Yun Yi.
The other party rushed forward quickly, but in Yun Yi's opinion, this was not much faster than the turtle, and before the opponent's iron adze fell, he rushed out of his claws, and with a crisp "click", the other party's twelve-story building shattered, and he fell to the ground in anger.
"Let's go. Yun Yi no longer cared about the dead bodies on the ground, turned his head and left.
The fat man ran to the dead body and crouched down, and retrieved some pieces of silver from his bosom, and then followed.
"Put it back, and his family can get a few more burial expenses if they find it. Yun Yi frowned, these broken silver were the wages of the deceased for carrying the coffin.
"I'm afraid that his family hasn't found it yet, and others have touched it first. The fat man pursed his lips and took the broken silver into his arms.
Yun Yi didn't answer anymore and bowed his head and walked forward. The Taoist has a certain degree of behavior, but it is not an overnight task to get rid of the market habits in his bones. The silver taels left by Chen Tongzi are not much, the road ahead is long, and the remaining money is not enough to spend along the way, and he still supports the fat man's approach in his heart.
Soon after the journey, the two changed to the southeast, walked for a night and walked on the ice and then crossed the Yellow River, the next day, the sky was not bright, the two walked to a dense forest, both tired.
The leaves in the forest were falling off, and the two wanted to take a break here, but they noticed a slight voice coming from the depths of the woods, and they suddenly became alert and sleepy.
From the sound of the voices in the forest, we can estimate the number of people, there should be seven or eight, there is no village in front of this place, there is no shop in the back, who will run here?
"Who is coming here?" asked the fat man.
"Bandits. Yun Yi responded, the meridians were all connected, and his senses were very acute, and he listened to the conversations of those people in the forest, all of which were black words between thieves.
The fat man was relieved when he heard this, patted his chest, and the encirclement of thousands of troops and horses had broken through, and a few thieves had nothing to worry about.
Dozens of feet further, the two found a faint fire coming from the forest, so they changed their route and detoured. The detour was not due to fear, but to rush to Huiji as soon as possible and return the relics of the same son.
The two tried to avoid the thieves, but the thieves spotted them by the light of the fire and chased after them with their weapons. The weapons used by the bandits were all axes and hoes, which shows that they were originally farmers and craftsmen in the vicinity, and the main reason why they fell into the grass was because the world was not good.
The fat man wanted to go back and teach them a lesson, but Yun Yi dragged him away, these people didn't consider that lighting a fire in the forest would expose their location, they should have just been a bandit for a short time, and they may not have done anything about robbing houses and houses, so there is no need to be knowledgeable with them.
The two of them used light skills to get rid of the thieves, and when they were about to get out of the woods for several miles, they suddenly felt a yin qi coming from under a tree, and the two of them suddenly stood on end, and their hairs stood on end, and they were terrified.
"There is a ghost ......" The fat man was so shocked that his face was pale.
"Hmm. Yun Yi suppressed the fear in his heart and nodded slightly, the Taoist with spiritual energy cultivation is very keen on the perception of yin spirits and yin objects, there are no living beings around, it should not be a monster, but a ghost.
Yun Yi was also very frightened in his heart, but he was also very puzzled, how could ordinary ghosts and ghosts dare to take the initiative to send out yin qi to provoke Taoists when they saw Taoists?
"Go check it out. Suspicious, he grabbed the fat man's sleeve and walked towards the old tree that exuded yin energy.
"Let's stop meddling, let's go. The fat man shivered.
"You go first. Yun Yi let go of the fat man.
Seeing that he didn't leave, the fat man hesitated slightly, and stubbornly followed.
Under the old tree is a thick barren grass, the two of them walked to the front of the yin and felt that the yin qi was pressing, the back was cool, after looking at each other, the fat man had the courage to bend down and stretched out his hand to pull away the grass.
"Damn!" the fat man was frightened when he saw something in the grass, and jumped back in a panic.
Yun Yi was also shocked in his heart, but he was not frightened by the things in the grass, but by the fat man's startle, and when he was calm, he kicked the fat man: "Your mother, I want to scare Lao Tzu to death!"
"There was a corpse in the grass. The fat man raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
"I saw it, do you want you to say, damn, people have killed a lot, and you are still afraid of a corpse?" Yun Yi glanced at the fat man and leaned over to remove the grass.
The fat man had opened the grass before, and the corpse inside was just a flash in the pan, but this time he was mentally prepared and did not close it after clearing the grass, and then he saw that it was a headless female corpse in the grass.
The reason why it was determined to be a female corpse was that most of the clothes on the corpse had been stripped of it, and the chest and private parts of the lower body were exposed.
"Who did this?" the fat man couldn't bear to look at directly, turned his head and asked Yun Yi.
Yun Yi didn't answer, and carefully looked at the headless female corpse, there were several scratches on the female corpse's breasts, and her lower body was seriously swollen, showing that she had been bullied by others before she died.
"I don't see the red, when I am a woman, the reason why I am so swollen should be that I have been bullied by many people. Yun Yi frowned and said, he could feel the faint soul qi three feet away in front of him, and the previous yin qi was emitted from this soul qi.
Although he couldn't see the existence of the Yin Spirit, he could guess the reason why the Yin Spirit took the initiative to send out Yin Qi to provoke them, she should have sensed that the two of them were different from ordinary people, and wanted to ask the two to avenge her.
After a short period of silence, Yun Yi raised his head and said to the open area in front of him: "Yin and Yang are separated, and the poor Dao spell is still shallow, so it can't make you show up and speak, and I promise you to complain about your grievances." ”
"Are you talking to her?" the fat man looked at Yun Yi's gaze, and instantly snorted.
"Well," Yun Yi nodded, and instead patted the fat man's shoulder: "You watch from the side, I'll sleep for a while." ”
"Huh?" the fat man froze.
"Ahh Yun Yi glared at the fat man.
"Why is she trying to hurt me when you're asleep?" the fat man shook his head in horror.
"She doesn't have the skills. Yun Yi sat down against the tree, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
It's not easy to pretend to be asleep, but fortunately, he was really sleepy, and he fell asleep not long after lying down.
The so-called dream is that the ghost uses his own divine consciousness to affect the divine consciousness of others, this method is very easy for ordinary people to use, but it is not easy for Taoists to use, because they are also very sensitive to things in the outside world when they sleep, but fortunately, Yun Yi's body and mind are completely relaxed, and he did not resist the divine consciousness of the female ghost.
In the dream, Yun Yi was able to see the appearance of the female ghost before her death, a little bit of beauty, no more than twenty-five years old, and her clothes were shabby and shabby.
"Please ask the Taoist to avenge the slave family. The female ghost knelt and kowtowed, and howled sadly.
The ghost scream was really ugly, Yun Yi heard it with hair on his spine, waved his hand and said: "Seriously, there is no shop in front of the village here, why are you running here? Who was the victim?"
"The slave family is a ......"
"Okay, okay," Yun Yi interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "Answer my question." ”
"The slave husband went into the mountains to hunt some time ago, and did not return for a few days, and the slave family was anxious, so he had the courage to come out to look for him, and came here and met a group of bandits, who were harmed by them, and asked the Taoist chief to uphold justice for the slave family. The female ghost said with tears in her eyes.
Although the female ghost cried miserably, she did not cry because she had no body.
"What kind of weapons did those thieves use?" Yun Yi asked.
"It's farm tools and stuff. The female ghost replied.
"Where's your head?" Yun Yi asked again.
"Right behind the tree. The female ghost turned back to the old tree.
"I'll avenge you, hurry up and reincarnate. Yun Yi waved his hand.
When the female ghost heard this, she kowtowed again: "The Taoist chief is merciful, and I beg the Taoist chief to find the whereabouts of the slave husband again." ”
"I try. Yun Yi nodded in agreement.
The female ghost wanted to say more, but Yun Yi resisted to break free from the dream, opened her eyes and got up.
"Patriarch bless, you didn't have any accidents. The fat man slapped his chest again and again.
"Don't talk nonsense, you go behind the tree and look for her head. Yun Yi pointed to the old tree next to the grass and said.
With the experience of the past, the fat man did not dare to be reckless, and after making sufficient mental preparations, he went around behind the tree, and took out the head with his probing hand through the wild grass, with a very unnatural expression.
"You buried the body, wait for me here, I'll kill the culprit. Yun Yi said to the fat man.
The fat man knew that the female ghost was next to him, and he felt a little hairy in his heart, and he didn't reply affirmatively.
"You have a difficult birth, it's so uncomfortable!" Yun Yi kicked him and turned to sweep back.
According to the female ghost, she was killed by a group of bandits, and the weapons used by the bandits were farm tools and the like, so it can be determined that the person who killed her was the same group of thieves she met earlier.
There are many stories of unjust souls and fates among the people, but in fact this is not true, the living are full of yang, and the newly dead yin spirits dare not approach at all, which is also the reason why the female ghost begged him for help.
After hurrying for several miles, Yun Yi saw the group of bandits sitting around the bonfire, and also heard their conversation, the bandits had not caught up with him and the fat man before, and were surprised, this matter was being said.
Yun Yi stopped when he was more than ten feet away from everyone, and said loudly: "That woman was killed by you?"
When the thieves heard this, they turned around, looked at Yun Yi's eyes, and saw that he was empty-handed and had no weapons, and there was no helper by his side, so they didn't answer, and directly got up and scattered to surround him.
"Leave the burden behind, let you live. A thin man with an axe pointed to the burden on his body.
"You killed that woman?" Yun Yi asked again.
"Nonsense, hack him to death!" the lean man beckoned to the thieves, and everyone immediately rushed towards Yun Yi.
Seeing this situation, Yun Yi's heart suddenly burst into flames, he thought that this group of people had not been in the grass for a long time, and they should not have done anything to rob the house, but he ignored that hurting the sky and harming the reason is not necessarily the robbery of the house.
Before everyone approached, Yun Yi had already rushed forward to snatch the thin man's axe, and with a wave of his backhand, he directly disemboweled the thin man, and a terrible scream came out of the middle of the night, which was really terrifying.
Seeing that the thin man was killed, the rest of the people were shocked and did not dare to step forward, Yun Yi did not relent, turned around and swung the axe, and cut off the head of one person.
There were only seven or eight thieves in total, and Yun Yi killed two people in a row in an instant, and the rest of the people knew that they had encountered hard stubble, so they ran away.
When death was approaching, everyone ran in a hurry, but they couldn't see at night, and when they left the bonfire, they couldn't get their hands on it, and they ran not far before Yun Yi caught up and slashed several people.
Another person ran north, and Yun Yi hurriedly chased after him, overtaking him and blocking the other party's way.
"The chief of the trail spares his life, the chief of the trail spares his life......" The thief trembled with fright and hurriedly knelt down.
"Have you seen hunters hunting in the mountains in recent days?" Yun Yi asked in a cold voice.
"No, no!" the bandit shook his head in sweat.
"Huh?" Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and squinted.
"The little Taoist spares his life, what the villain said is true, we really haven't seen any hunters!" The thief saw that his face changed, and he was so shocked that his soul was shocked, and he was incontinent and urinated.
Yun Yi nodded slightly, the thief felt a little relaxed when he saw this, at this moment, Yun Yi suddenly swung the axe, and the thief didn't even have time to scream, and his head was split in half.
