Chapter 146: Orchid Village
If you want to return to Mosaic Dragon City, it is obviously unrealistic to run on your own, the Southern Regions are too big, and you can run back at full speed, without eating, drinking, or resting, I'm afraid it will take two years, and this is because Mosaic Dragon City is located in the center of the Southern Regions, as long as you start from here, the time to run in a straight line. But in fact, this road is not all smooth sailing, there are countless mountains and rivers on the road, and the territory of the Ice and Snow Pavilion is a little better, out of the sphere of influence of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, there are countless small sects, and there must be a lot of trouble! In addition, now that the cult is fighting back against the entire continent, it will definitely not be calm along the way! So if you don't rely on the teleportation array to return to the Dragon City, at least five years!
In five years, the once-in-a-century Kaiyuan Kingdom Trade Fair will come to an end, and he may lose a lot! Moreover, having said that, will he and Lu Ziqian's strength really survive that day?
Therefore, Zhang Ledao's main line is still clear, looking for the nearby sub-city, first arriving at the main city, and then returning to the dragon city through the teleportation array.
"Master, look at the posture of the cult! I'm afraid all the nearby cities have been pushed horizontally!" Lu Ziqian followed closely behind Zhang Ledao, his tone full of helplessness.
"Take a look!" Although Zhang Ledao mentally agreed with Lu Ziqian's words, he still didn't give up.
The two of them walked forward together for a few days, and there was no vice-city nearby, but without exception, all the outposts were uprooted! Of course, based on the situation on the road, Zhang Ledao guessed that the main purpose of these evil cultivators was to eliminate the living force of the righteous path monks, and they did not deliberately slaughter the civilian villages living in the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
After crossing the Dragon Hill, the terrain suddenly changed from the Gobi gravel beach to undulating mountains.
"Uncle, where is the nearest main city?"
"What main city?"
"It's just... It's a big, big village surrounded by a high stone wall......"
"Oh, and this thing, isn't this village not afraid of wild beast attacks!" the old man was stunned when he heard Zhang Ledao's words.
The old man's words made Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian speechless, there is still such a place in the Southern Regions?
"Our village here is all made of wood, I have never heard of a village with such a stone wall!"
Zhang Ledao felt that this old man and himself were completely people from two worlds, and even if they said the same thing, they couldn't communicate together.
"Then where is the head of your village, can you take me and me to meet him. Zhang Ledao felt that it was better to go directly to the village chief, he might know a little more.
"Okay, the village chief in our village knows a lot, you must go to find it!" said that, the old man sitting at the head of the village basking in the sun slowly got up, and walked towards the village with the two of them on crutches
"The bandits are coming, the bandits are coming!" The two had not followed the old man for a few steps when they heard someone shouting from the village.
"The thieves are coming, hurry up and prepare the tribute!" When the old man heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the house, running as fast as he could with a cane.
Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian glanced at each other, and a hint of banter flashed in their eyes. Since this group of bandits has been touched by themselves, then they are considered unlucky! Both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and smiled and walked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Some villagers had already gathered here, staring at the few people in front of them in fear.
"It's still the old rule! hand over the things, and keep you safe for a month in the future!" There are three thieves, none of whom have cultivated, and the first one is riding a horse, with an arrogant face, and he commands with arrogance.
"Yes, yes, my lord, this is my food."
"My lord, this is my sweet potato"
"Here, I still have some wheat at home"
......
Soon a large group of people took out their tribute and handed it to the bandit leader, and the bandit leader saw that the gang was so obedient, and the goods were not bad
"Very good, we all know each other!hahaha" The expression on his face became even more smug as he laughed.
"Put down your things, get out of here!" Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian arrived, clasping their hands in front of their chests, buying the same steps, the same pace, looking like two two hundred and five, swaggering over.
"What? what is your opinion?" The leader of the bandits saw that the two of them were disgraced, and they were also on one side with both arms on their chests, and the two behind them hurriedly followed the formation, staring at Zhang Ledao menacingly.
"Give back the things in your hand to the villagers! I can also consider leaving you a small life! Otherwise, I will accept my life!" Lu Ziqian has long had the desire to be chivalrous, hoe the strong and help the weak, and travel the world, now that he has cultivated as a golden pill, and is traveling the world, he is just short of a hoe to help the weak, and become a hero praised by people, how could he let go of this opportunity!
"Hmph, think beautifully! This is a hundred miles in radius...."A thief snorted coldly, and stepped forward, half of Lu Ziqian's sword had already cut off his head.
"You! you dare to us...."Before the bandit leader finished speaking, Lu Ziqian was another sword, and the head of the leader also rolled to the ground.
"Daxia spares my life! We won't take it! No, I won't take it! I won't take anything! As long as you let me go, I'll leave now!" In the end, the bandit knew that the difference in strength was huge, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed and kept guaranteeing.
"Master, this guy can also chop with a sword!" Lu Ziqian was extremely disgusted with the bandits, and he couldn't wait to see one kill the other.
"Wait, no one will report if we kill us! We will still come to the cholera village after we leave!" Zhang Ledao whispered to Lu Ziqian
"Understood!" Lu Ziqian nodded lightly
", get out as far as you want!"
"Yes, yes, the villain is leaving!" the thief turned on his horse, pulled the reins, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.
Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian turned around and were preparing for the cheers and praises that were coming.
"Snap" an egg was thrown at Zhang Ledao coldly, and directly smashed Zhang Ledao's head, smashing Zhang Ledao in the dark! He would never have thought that this group of villagers could be so ignorant.
"We're done! We're done, our village is finished!" the old man dressed as the village chief sat on the ground and cried.
Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian seemed to understand that these villagers were afraid of the thieves' retaliation, and they were afraid that after they left, the thieves would take their stockade.
"Don't worry, everyone! Our master and apprentice pass by here, and when we see injustice, we draw our swords to help, and we will definitely completely solve this gang of bandits before leaving. Rest assured, everyone!"
"Yes, yes, we will definitely take responsibility for this matter to the end!" Lu Ziqian also hurriedly responded.
"Hmph, folks, stone them to death and drive them out of the village!" the village chief suddenly got up from the ground, picked up the guy in his hand in anger, and rushed up to beat him.
"Damn, this group of villagers is crazy!" Lu Ziqian hurriedly dodged, followed Zhang Ledao and turned around and ran.
"Who knows! This group of people is simply good or bad, but we are here to help them!" Lu Ziqian was also full of depression.
"Ziqian show them a hand! If you don't deter them, you won't be able to speak properly!" Zhang Ledao said to Lu Ziqian again and again.
Lu Ziqian's body was shocked, instantly shaking away the surrounding crowd, and then he took out the Jinglong Sword and thrust it into the ground, and the vitality surged, making him look like an immortal reincarnated, mighty and domineering, and he looked handsome!
"Huh? Immortals ......"
"It's an immortal! Kneel!"
Just now, Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian were punched and kicked, and all the residents with sticks fell to the ground in an instant.
"I'm sorry, please spare my life! I'm waiting for the village to be poor, there is really nothing for the immortals to look at! Please let the immortals spare our village!" The old village chief knelt down and hugged his head and cried.
"We are all mountain barbarians, I didn't know that the immortals were coming, so we offended the immortals, and asked the immortals to surround our lives!"
"Ask the immortals to spare our lives!" A large group of villagers below knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in unison, and that scene made Zhang Ledao feel as if he and Lu Ziqian were the real bullies!
Compared with the scene at this moment, the villagers just treated the thief with extraordinary enthusiasm and treated each other with food!
Zhang Ledao and Lu Ziqian glanced at each other again, both puzzled.
"Fellow countrymen, we are new here, we don't know everything, we won't hurt your lives, let's get up and talk!"
A group of people did not dare to move at all, but still leaned down, their heads pressed against the ground, and they did not dare to gasp.
Zhang Ledao personally went to thousands of people to help the trembling old village chief, and found that he was trembling terribly because of fear, and his face was full of uncertain extreme panic.
Zhang Ledao crossed a trace of true anger and wanted to calm his nervous nerves, but the old village chief trembled and knelt on the ground again.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" A trace of anger flashed on Zhang Ledao's face, this old thing is simply inexplicable and doesn't know how to lift! In Zhang Ledao's heart, he is an immortal! He is the master of the Treasure Pavilion! He is the elder of the Ice and Snow Pavilion! He is the master of the Yuan Infant Stage! Is it worth killing you!
This hint of anger made the old village chief tremble even more violently.
Zhang Ledao simply took a step back and set up a shelf.
"Get up for me! Within two breaths, whoever is still kneeling, I will kill whom!" Zhang Ledao's tone was cold, he was really a little angry! This group of mortals really don't know what to do!
At this moment, those villagers no longer dared to hesitate, quickly got up, and stood in place in fear and waited for Zhang Ledao's whereabouts.
"We are good people and we don't kill people for no reason. After Zhang Ledao finished speaking, he saw a group of villagers nodding hurriedly, but there was no half agreement on his face, it was just forced by Zhang Ledao's obscenity.
Zhang Ledao really didn't know what this group of villagers had gone through! How could they be so afraid of the immortals!
"I ask you what kind of place this is, what kind of immortal dwellings or larger cities are there lately, and why are you so respectful to that bandit, but like snakes and scorpions to us monks!" Zhang Ledao said these words, and the village chief had to come out and answer
"This is Nangou Village, the villagers have lived here for generations, as for the immortal residence, those immortals come and go without a trace, we don't know, and we haven't heard of the city...... "The old village chief can say that he doesn't know, and his voice is getting lower and lower.
"As for the bandits, they belong to the Orchid Village, they will come to collect rent from our village every month, and they will also protect the village for us......" The village chief only dared to say this, and he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that if he didn't agree, he would anger Zhang Ledao and bring death to the whole village.
Zhang Ledao sighed lightly and shook his head, feeling that he really couldn't ask anything from this group of people. However, he heard that this bandit's village is called "Orchid Village", which should be a tyrant here, responsible for collecting protection fees for a living, and it doesn't hurt the village much, and sometimes it helps, so he is so in awe of them.
Obviously, there have been several groups of monks with different personalities who have come here, and the monks' temperament is the most difficult to grasp, and they regard human life as a mustard.
