Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Robbers' Words
Speaking of which, at this moment, Ma Jingyuan and the others were sleeping soundly near the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, not knowing that danger was approaching. And as Tang Zui and Tie Hongzhong, who were only cultivators at the lowest level of the Spiritual Stage in the Cultivation Realm, if they knew that there was a Jindan Stage cultivator who was going to chase and kill them at this moment, I am afraid that they would also be frightened.
However, Canaan City is thousands of miles away from Yunfu Mountain, and it will take some time for the Xuanhai Dao people to arrive.
At this moment, Tang drunk and slept very soundly, as if he dreamed of his hometown, his parents, and Mo Li.
The morning sun is gradually rising, and the sky is about to brighten. When Tang woke up, Tie Hongzhong was meditating with his eyes closed. After that, everyone got up, straightened the carriage and horses, and was ready to go on the road.
Ma Jingyuan arranged a few words with everyone, and shouted: "Let's go!" The convoy continued to march and walked in the direction of Qingming Xiaozhu.
After passing the cloud road, the field of vision gradually widened. Everyone followed Ma Jingyuan's head horse and walked along the road through one forest after another.
Although there are many animals in the forest, there is no interest in hunting. After experiencing the scene of Yundao, they didn't dare to pause for too long, for fear that something would happen to the escort again.
After about a month of walking like this, the people came to an open shoal, and arranged for the foals to go to the shoal to drink, and they themselves sat down on the ground and rested on the shore.
Ma Jingyuan and Tie Hongzhong chatted about the rivers and lakes without a word.
At this time, from the dense woods in the east, a group of people came sparsely, there were more than a dozen people, and the leader had a face of horizontal flesh, and there were two hideous scars on his face. These dozen people were wrapped in yellow scarves and held open knives, and instantly surrounded everyone.
The scarred man who took the lead rode on a black horse and shouted at everyone, "Shepherds come out to bask in the sun!"
This sentence is a black phrase used by bandits who rob homes and houses in the rivers and lakes. It means that the leader of the people will come out and speak. The object of the robbery is called a "sheep", and the leader is called a "shepherd". ”
Ma Jingyuan took a few steps forward, put his left hand on the tiger's mouth in his right hand, five fingers on his left hand, and four fingers on his right hand. Arched his hand three times, this is a common gesture in the rivers and lakes, which means - all over the world!
Gestures are also a kind of black saying: all the lakes and the four seas are brothers, and the three lives are fortunate and precious.
Ma Jingyuan saw that he was a gang of bandits, and he did not panic, he was also a person who had walked the rivers and lakes and licked blood for decades. I have experienced a lot of big and small things. He said in black again: "Mane is all over the sea, eating grass and running everywhere!"
This is to report the name first, which means to tell the bandit leader that his surname is Ma!
The scar man looked at the gesture, and when he heard the black word say that his surname was Ma, he estimated in his heart that he had met someone in the rivers and lakes, and it was estimated that it was not easy to deal with.
So he laughed and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Ma, I took my brothers out for a walk today, I want to eat some mutton, see if you can let us eat some." ”
The scar man was actually forcing Ma Jingyuan, saying that he would eat mutton, meaning that he would eat them.
Ma Jingyuan was not afraid, and replied directly: "Mutton money, I will invite my brothers." Aries in the table! Dark horses in the forest!
The meaning of this sentence is: they are not sheep to be slaughtered, if they want to rob, Ma Jingyuan will leave a little money for such bandits. But "dark horses crossing the forest" means that if they want to leave, don't fight, we are not vegetarians.
When the scar man heard this, he stopped talking, just squinted at Ma Jingyuan slightly. Both groups stopped talking. He understands that Ma Jingyuan is an old Jianghu, and he has seen and robbed a lot of darts, but with Ma Jingyuan's courage, it is the first time he has seen the scar man.
The air was suddenly quiet, Tang Zui and Tie Hongzhong had no intention of making a move, if they made a move, it was estimated that this group of bandits had been dead for a long time, after all, the two of them didn't want to reveal their identities as cultivators.
The younger brothers behind the scar man saw that the boss was silent, and they also understood that the boss didn't want to fight, and they didn't dare to say anything.
The scar man deliberately sighed at this time and said, "Hey, forget it, run for nothing! After saying that, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom, put it on the open knife, touched it, and said no more.
This action was deliberately made for Ma Jingyuan to see, which means: As soon as the knife edge sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold!
This is to ask Ma Jingyuan to keep more money and then let them go.
Ma Jingyuan knew the other party's gestures, and he really didn't want to fight with the other party, so he took out a small bag of broken silver from the luggage of a carriage. He put it in front of the first carriage, and drove the carriage, and the horse's hooves stepped over the small bag of silver, and went forward.
Everyone followed, and slowly walked over. After a while, he disappeared from the sight of the bandits.
At this time, the little brother behind the scar man said unwillingly: "Big brother, just let them go?" I saw that they pulled a few wagons of goods, which must be worth a lot of money!"
Scar Man waved his hand and didn't let them continue. He said coldly: "We are seeking money, and this surnamed Ma is not easy to mess with." If we can't fight together, we will also suffer, so let them go! Brothers, withdraw!" The scar man turned his horse's head, let the younger brother collect the money, and then returned from the way he came, and gradually went away.
Everyone walked for a while, and when they saw that the bandits did not chase them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Jingyuan stopped and laughed, and said to everyone: "Actually, this scar man, I have heard of it before, is also famous in the rivers and lakes, called the flower-faced tiger - Zhang Jiumeng. Listening to the brothers on the rivers and lakes, Zhang Jiumeng was also from a poor family when he was a child, his father was a dung picker, and he was often bullied, and was beaten to death by more than a dozen people for stealing vegetables grown by a clan patriarch. Later, Zhang Jiumeng, the flower-faced tiger, went out to the rivers and lakes by himself, learned to practice martial arts, and when he returned to his hometown, he killed more than a dozen people who had bullied his father, and went to the mountains to fall into the grass. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Tie Hongzhong, and Tie Hongzhong also smiled and said, "Brother Ma, I really admire your courage, brother. Don't worry! As long as I get to the place, I will definitely give my brothers some more silver!"
Everyone laughed, and Tang Zui also admired Ma Jingyuan's style and courage in handling things in a disorderly manner. If Tang Zui hadn't stepped into the path of cultivating the truth, he would have seen people like Ma Jingyuan in the secular world, and he would definitely admire the five-body throw.
It seems that a group of bandits who licked blood from the knife edge were sent away in just a few words, but all of them were Ma Jingyuan's rivers and lakes. However, this scarred man Zhang Jiumeng is also a good man who is jealous and hateful, and he dares to think and dare to do it.
Everyone's path is different, and I have to say that Zhang Jiumeng is now in the grass, which is also due to cause and effect.
Ma Jingyuan said: "Brother Tie is generous! Then thank Brother Tie for the reward! After walking for a while, we will go to the next foothold, Qingming Xiaozhu." Don't hide it from my brother, I still have to go to Qingming Xiaozhu to buy some things, and when the time comes, I will buy it and leave, and I will never delay my brother's trip. ”
Tie Hongzhong didn't say anything more, the horse team continued to march, and the scene just now was naturally revealed.
