The man circled around the Taoist priest for half a circle, and suddenly slammed on the table: "Bah! Don't you know the rules of this thief?"

The force of this slap was not small, and the juice was splashed. But the Taoist chief was stunned, and smiled confidently: "Oh, I want to ask Your Excellency what are the rules in this small mountain shop?"

The man pointed to the sword on the table: "You go out with a blade, and you can't be bumped into by our masters!"

"Joke! There is no ban from the local government, what's wrong with me bringing a blade?"

The man's fierce face was revealed: "I'm afraid you haven't heard the word 'iron eater', right?"

The Taoist chief was surprised: "You are an 'iron eater'?"

"It's not just me......," the man gestured to seven or eight wicked men behind him, "we are all am!"

The Taoist chief laughed: "It's up to you, are you worthy?" The 'Iron Eater' injured seventeen heroes in a row, and many of them were masters. You don't pee on yourself, do you have the ability?"

The wicked man was furious when he heard this, and raised his hand to punch him. Although he shot when he was angry, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his fist was vain, and he was obviously not a practitioner. As long as there are some martial arts foundations, people can easily deal with it.

Li Yan originally thought that the Taoist chief was talking eloquently, and he intended to tease this group of wicked people. But unexpectedly, this punch actually hit him in the face. Hearing only a bang, the Dao Chief's left cheek was swollen and tall, and a purple and gold crown of hair was also shaky.

The wicked man was proud: "You thief is blowing nonsense, I thought you had some real ability, but it was a silver-like wax spear head - a stuffy thing." ”

Li Yan held the Dao Chang and just wanted to draw the knife, but unexpectedly, the Dao Chang pinched his arm and made another look. Li Yan took him and retreated to the back.

The wicked man picked up the sword on the table, pulled it out, and suddenly scolded, "Fuck, this sword is the same thing!"

When everyone looked at it, they found that the sword was round and round, and it was not cut at all.

The wicked man was angry and funny, scolded a few words, and shouted that Xiao Er was drinking, but no one responded for a long time. It turned out that the back kitchen saw that they were fierce and ran away. The wicked man sat down on a chair and said to the thieves, "Brothers, let us eat some food and wine first, and then we will take care of these two goods later." ”

Sure enough, the thieves ate and drank as if no one was around, and they actually regarded the Taoist priest and Li Yan as lambs to be slaughtered. They are extremely arrogant and talk about their "heroic deeds". It's nothing more than robbing a few homes and killing many innocent people. Li Yan was indignant when he heard this, and his eyes almost erupted with fire.

At this moment, a thief suddenly said, "Oh, why is this wine so intoxicating?" and he fell unconscious on the table with a bang.

The thief leader smiled: "Zheng Laosan is shallow, only a few cups will be enough?"

But in an instant, the sound of cooing was endless, and the group of thieves lay down for the most part. Only then did the thief realize that something was wrong, and poured the wine out, and drank: "There is poisonous ...... in the wine."

Before the words fell, he himself fell.

Li Yan was shocked, but found that the Dao Chief was staring at them with blazing eyes. Li Yan said in a lost voice: "You ordered the medicine!"

The Taoist chief straightened his crown, wiped the blood on his face, stood up and said, "Yes, I took a strong sweat pill, and they won't wake up for a while." ”

"I understand!" Li Yan thought of the previous scene, and suddenly realized: "You set up a banquet and prepared such a sword, just to lure them into the bait!"

Dao Chang said: "Little brother, you are half right. My table of wine was originally set for the 'Iron Eater'. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by these wicked people. Although I didn't find the main owner, I was finally not busy in vain. ”

Li Yan's face was somewhat disappointed.

The Taoist priest was extremely clever and asked, "Little brother, do you think I am not heroic enough to use this method?"

Li Ren hurriedly shook his head: "No, Daoist, you are a great hero to eliminate harm for the people." Just ......"

"It's just that I don't know martial arts, right?"

Li Yan nodded hesitantly.

Dao Chang sighed: "Little brother, that's right, I really don't know any martial arts." He looked out the window at the heavy snow and said, "My name is Liu Banxian, and I was originally a closed disciple of the Kunlun Sect Yuzhu Zhenren. But in the past 30 years, I don't like to learn talisman alchemy, and I don't want to understand the art of "Huang Ting", and I hate dancing knives and guns......"

Li Yan suddenly asked, "Then what do you usually do?"

Liu Banxian said leisurely: "I always run to the back mountain alone, looking at a big peach tree in a daze. Watching it wither and flourish is more interesting than listening to any scripture. My brothers and sisters have advised me, but I always don't listen.

Finally, one day, Master said to me, 'Although you have good bones, but you don't want to cultivate with your heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve great things.' ’

I argued: 'Taishang Laojun has a saying: The big thing is not to be done. Why do people have to be instrumental?'

Master was choked by my words, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and say to me, 'Kunlun Mountain can't keep you, go down the mountain.' I was kicked out. ”

Li Yan suddenly realized, no wonder he was so sad when he mentioned the sect just now.

Liu Banxian continued: "At first, I was very annoyed and complained about Master's injustice. But then I thought about it, and he did it for my good. Taoism pays attention to purity and nature, but I am the most nosy, and it is a waste of time to practice again, so it is better to find another way. ”

At this moment, the fingers of a thief on the ground suddenly moved. When Li Yan saw it, he was startled, and asked in a lost voice, "What should I do?"

Liu Daochang picked up a steel knife, and his face was cloudy. The two of them have already heard the conversation of the group of thieves clearly, these people are doing evil, they are really innocent, and it is cheap to kill them with a knife.

But after hesitating for a while, he finally threw away the steel knife: "You go to the back kitchen to find a few ropes, and we will tie them up and hand them over to the government." ”

Li Yan hesitated and said, "Dao Chief, you have also heard the bad things they have done......

Liu Banxian's face sank: "Little brother, this group of people is naturally guilty of punishment, but you and I are not God, and we are not qualified to take other people's lives." The only correct thing to do is to hand over to Yousi. Okay, don't fight me, just do it!"

There was a majesty in his words, and although Li Yan was a little reluctant, he also acted according to his words. The two of them worked hard for a long time, and finally tied up the thieves. But it was more difficult to escort away seven or eight sleeping and unawakened men than to ascend to the sky, so the two decided to go to the nearest yamen to call someone.

Outside, the north wind was howling, and the cold wind was sweeping snow flakes so hard that people couldn't open their eyes. They had walked less than five miles, and it was difficult for them to take a step forward, so they found a forest to shelter from the snow.

Li Yan sighed towards his right hand and asked, "Daoist Liu, what does that 'Iron Eater' have to do with you, why did you take such a big risk to arrest him?" ”

Liu Banxian said: "I don't know him, and I haven't even seen him." ”

"That ......"

Liu Banxian smiled faintly: "I, Liu, just can't see others doing evil, since this matter has happened to me, I have to deal with it to the end......"

At this time, I suddenly heard a deep voice like thunder piercing through the wind and snow: "Good boy, who dares to care about the old man's affairs?"

The two were shocked and asked in unison, "Who is it?"

I saw a figure ten zhang away, in the wind and snow. This person is extremely tall, and his limbs are numerous, like an ancient stone statue. With every step he took forward, their hearts trembled, and although the wind was strong, it still couldn't hide his heavy breathing. This man carried seventeen swords behind his back.

He spoke again: "The old man is an iron-eating ghost, who wants to find my bad luck?"
