Chapter 4 Gufeng Ridge disguised as a bandit village
Before Cui Shiyuan could react, his arm was grabbed by Lu Qian, and he walked briskly along a rugged path to the top of the mountain.
"Hey, I said Boss Lu, can we take a break first, take a breath before leaving?"
Cui Shiyuan, whose physical strength had almost reached the limit, gasped for breath, and the beads of sweat dripping from his sideburns and eyebrows had already converged into a thin line, wetting his clothes.
"Shhh ”
Following the direction of Lu Qian's finger, at another intersection, there was a group of bandits armed with knives and guns, escorting a few people of old and young with a big tie-up and a blue flag dart car, walking towards this side.
The black-faced man at the head was tall, carrying a halberd in his hand and covered his body in coarse linen clothes. The waist and back are broad, the muscles are bulging, and the stable lower plate is urgent and orderly, and the voice is like a loud bell: "Hurry up and keep up with the back, and when you get to the stockade, you monkey cubs who have done their best will all be rewarded!"
Lu Qian and the two quickly squatted down with a tacit understanding, hiding behind a thick tree, relying on the weeds in front of them, which were more than half a person high, and almost completely covered their figures. It is difficult to spot them unless they are searched closely.
"What is the origin of this gang of bandits?" Cui Shiyuan turned his head to Lu Qian and asked in a low voice.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be the centaurs of Moyun Village on this Lonely Peak Ridge. The black-faced man in the lead seems to be a person with some status in the village, and from a certain point of view, he may have been with you. ”
"Isn't it? In such a short period of time, you even found out all this?" Cui Shiyuan couldn't believe Lu Qian's exaggerated action, just thought that he was lying to himself for the sake of face.
Lu Qian didn't answer him directly, but just smiled and said, "Since the reward target He Lantian escaped by playing a trick, in order to find the traces of this guy, I went up the mountain alone to find out the information. By chance, I got rid of an evil Taoist priest and got this set of clothes, and then I bumped into the scene of you and the tiger playing happily in the forest......"
"Uh...... Can you stop mentioning those things that passed away with the wind? According to what you mean, this gang of bandits in front of you is very likely to have something to do with He Lantian?"
"Well, almost, a raccoon dog. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, we have to do it quickly?" After speaking, Cui Shiyuan was about to get up, but was pressed down by Lu Qian.
"Wait, what's the hurry? Let's follow in the dark first, wait until we get to the cottage to see the reality and reality, and then see the opportunity to act. ”
Cui Shiyuan felt that there was some truth, so he and Lu Qian lowered their bodies one after the other, picked up their feet, and followed the team of thieves to hide.
After walking for about half a pillar of incense, a majestic cottage appeared at the top of the mountain. The two tall gates slowly opened, and a neat team of minions ran out from inside, bringing their own horses inside.
"It seems that this is their lair, what should we do next?" Cui Shiyuan pulled out the Wind Chasing Sword from his waist and asked Lu Qiandao in a low voice.
"Put away the weapons, how can you say that you are also a man who has been the master of the second village of Tianwang Village, don't fight and kill at every turn, is it okay to use some wisdom?" Lu Qian said with a look of disdain.
remembered that when he fought the tiger just now, Cui Shiyuan boasted about his ability, and now he has to take this opportunity to "experience" him.
"Are you underestimating me, shaking the Eight Desolations and intimidating Kyushu, the playful and witty little sword demon?" Cui Shiyuan's face was obviously a little unconvinced.
"Well, that can be understood that way. What makes me wonder is how a man who almost fed the tiger is embarrassed to mention this nickname again?" Lu Qian saw that he had taken the bait, and continued to stimulate with words.
First of all, I want to state that it is not that I can't beat it, but that the compassion in my chest aches and can't bear to hurt. Cui Shiyuan tried his best to explain the dilemma at that time, for the sake of the man's face, he chose to be cheeky and would rather die than give in.
"But the last sword, you stabbed more ruthlessly than anyone else......"
"Well...... this"
Cui Shiyuan, who was speechless for a while, saw that the momentum was not good, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Oh, don't always care about those details. I am known as the playful and witty little sword demon, the point is 'witty' can you understand?" If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Cui Shiyuan would have opened his throat and argued with Lu Qian.
"I regret taking you to change your ways now, with your level of wisdom and martial arts, maybe staying in the pile of wicked people can better corrupt them and lower the average. Lu Qian tried his best to maintain a serious appearance, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed.
"You ......" Cui Shiyuan was choked by his words and couldn't pick it up for a while, and his face was flushed.
"I know you're not convinced, so we can make a bet to prove it. Lu Qian looked smiling again, this was his signature move before he played badly, but the cute Cui Shiyuan didn't know.
"Say, what are you betting on? I must let you, who has never seen the world, open your eyes today, and see if the strength of my little sword demon is well deserved!"
"Okay, then let's bet to see who enters this village first with ability?"
"Cut, piece of cake. Cui Shiyuan hugged his arms and looked at Lu Qian with disdain.
"Hehe, then let's make a decision, see you inside!"
After that, Lu Qian took out a small gong and a wooden hammer from his arms, wore a Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, and walked towards the gate of the village in four directions.
"Phew! What a fucking treacherous! No, I must not lose to him for the sake of face!"
Cui Shiyuan couldn't stop cursing in his mouth, squatting in place with his left hand on his cheek, and his mind was quickly thinking about various feasible ways to enter the cottage. But because I was in too much of a hurry, I didn't have a clue for a while.
"Bang ~ Fortune telling, fortune telling, spirit hexagram ......" Lu Qian shouted while beating the small gong in his hand, and his unhurried pace was accompanied by the crisp sound of the gong, and he came to the door of the cottage in a blink of an eye.
"Stop, where did the wild Taoist priest come from, do you know what kind of place this is and swagger inside?" Several minions saw a stranger approaching from the sentry post on the gate of the village, and hurriedly ran out with swords and guns, blocking Lu Qian's way.
"Haha, a few masters, don't get excited, Poor Dao has no intention of offending your tiger and wolf might. Originally, I was just passing by here, but I accidentally found that there was a faint purple gas rising in your cottage, and I am afraid that there is a treasure buried in the ground, so I came to inform you. ”
Lu Qian carefully stroked his beard, which had just been glued, and tried his best to slow down his speech, showing the appearance of a fairy wind bone.
"What's the treasure? What nonsense!" Instinctively alert, the minion didn't take this too seriously.
"It's true, if you don't believe it, you can take me in and prove it to the owner of your village in person. Lu Qiansheng was afraid that he would not be able to deceive them, so his tone was more firm this time.
"Well, you're here to be honest. Huang Laofu: Here you have the fastest footsteps, lie down hard, and go and report this matter to the three village masters. Ask me how to decide, and a few of us are staring at him waiting for you to hear back. ”
A minion soldier with great leadership potential instructed another younger boy to go back and report the news, and within a cup of tea, the boy known as "Huang Laofu" came back in a hurry.
"Big brother, the owner of the village said, let's bring this Taoist priest in for questioning. ”
"Let's go, stinky Taoist, let's come with a few brothers!" This minion is very smart, he first gave a few people on the left and right a look, formed a formation that surrounded Lu Qian among them, and walked towards the hall where the owner of the village was.
The inside of this cottage is very wide, and Lu Qian and his party have gone through several turns, and then crossed the martial arts arena and continued to walk for a while before they came to the majestic hall of the main hall of the village.
The hall is supported by eight red-painted pillars surrounded by two people, complemented by mud tiles. Standing at the highest point of the whole cottage, surrounded by pines and cypresses, it shows infinite majesty. A quaint plaque hangs high in the middle, vigorously engraved with the three big characters of "Juyi Hall".
"Report to the owner of the village, and the Taoist priest who offered the treasure brought. When the minions arrived outside the hall door, they didn't dare to enter at will, so they had to stand in place and respectfully reply.
"Bring it in!" A deep voice with a deep majesty came from the hall, and Lu Qian could conclude from this feeling alone that this person's internal cultivation was definitely not low.
