Zhao Ran sat in a cave, looking at the pouring rain in the sky, and couldn't help but feel very worried. He is just a monk who has just entered the realm of "Taoist", although the Taoist robe issued by Huayun Pavilion can be fireproof and waterproof, but with such a heavy rain, it is still difficult to continue to find traces of those strongmen in the mountains.

The cave is very small, less than a zhang before and after, no more than three feet left and right, the old donkey shrank behind Zhao Ran, the donkey's tail has swept to the back wall of the cave, and Zhao Ran is pushed against the entrance of the cave, and from time to time the raindrops that fall in hit the tip of the nose.

Seeing that the rain couldn't be reduced for a while, Zhao Ran decided to fill his stomach first. He picked out a few items of food from his wrench, and was about to take them out, but he saw a small hut in the corner of the space thatβ†˜ was pressed by a mess of various objects.

Zhao Ran said in his heart that he was really stupid, although the thatched hut left by Zhang Laodao was dilapidated, it was able to block the rain in front of him, why couldn't he think of it? The thatched hut is not big, just filling this small cave, and Zhao Ran and the old donkey are crowded in the hut together. Half of the old donkey's ass was still exposed.

The thatched hut prepared by Zhang Laodao is not bad, the bottom is with a bottom, and it is also made of thatch, sitting in it, as if sitting in the haystack, in this barren mountain and wilderness. It felt incredibly comfortable.

Zhao Ran was eating dry food and barbecue jerky while pondering how to search next.

Five days ago, when he stayed overnight, Zhao Ran met a black shop, and the old couple who wanted to kill people and seize money did not succeed, but gave their lives, and let Zhao Ran have a more detailed understanding of many situations in Daqingshan. There are hundreds of bandits of all sizes in Daqing Mountain, the largest of which are located in the deep mountains, surrounding the main peak Mao'er Mountain, and the rest are scattered all over the mountains. It is said that there are immortals in Mao'er Mountain. The bandits who had been sheltering in the mountains were left to this place by the Daomen and did not interfere too much. As for the strongmen who came out to rob the mountains and villages recently, the old couple also heard some rumors, saying that they were very good at kung fu and had already robbed several villages, and they didn't know anything about the others.

However, in order to survive, the old couple tried their best to express themselves at that time. also provided Zhao Ran with clues to track. The two of them decided that these strongmen would either die. Either they should be active in the area around the edge of Daqing Mountain, because their actions have broken the rules of Daqing Mountain, and they must not go too deep into Daqing Mountain.

Zhao Ran executed the old couple, in addition to the fact that these two people are not good stubble, and staying will only harm others, they can also gain a meritorious force. This also made Zhao Ran move the idea of "suppressing bandits" in Daqingshan.

According to the tips of the old couple, Zhao Ran began to search along the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, and so far, six or seven cottages have been found. These cottages are very small in scale, and the number of bandits is not large. The largest is only about 20 people, and the smallest is only three or two cats. And the so-called cottages are just caves, or a few dilapidated houses on the hills. Zhao Ran didn't startle the snake, he planned to clean up his affairs first, and then consider "suppressing bandits".

The heavy rain in summer came as soon as it was said to come, and after Zhao Ran finished eating dry food, the heavy rain stopped. But rain in the mountains is a very troublesome thing, and if you don't say it well, you will encounter landslides and stream swelling, so although the weather is clear, Zhao Ran is still trapped in the small cave all night, and he did not travel again until dawn the next day.

There is an old donkey walking like flying in the mountains, I have to say that it is a fortunate thing, otherwise Zhao Ran's search road will be much more difficult, and after searching for about five days, Zhao Ran roughly searched the edge of the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, and then turned to the west foothills.

On this day, he came across a vacant cottage. The cottage was also small and dilapidated, with only five rooms, surrounded by a bamboo hedge, and judging by the weeds and shrubs that grew everywhere in the open space of the room, the cottage had been vacant for a long time. This was the first unmanned village that Zhao Ran encountered, which lifted his spirits.

After searching for a long time, he didn't find any valuable clues, so Zhao Ran continued to set off.

One day later, he found a second stockade, but there were bandits in the stockade, and after observation, it was confirmed that these bandits were not related to the strongman that Song Xiong said. Zhao Ran thought about it, retreated back, came to the vacant cottage he found yesterday, and then changed directions and started the search again.

In this direction, he found a second vacant cottage.

Zhao Ran was overjoyed, and in the same way, he found the fourth and fifth villages one after another. Three days later, he came to a new stockade and found that there were people in it, so he prepared to retreat and look for another direction. As soon as he walked two steps away, he heard someone in the stockade shouting: "Third child, pack up and prepare to go to the next one." ”

Zhao Ran's heart moved, and he turned back and hid behind the tree to peek.

After a short time, the bandits in the village rushed out, each with a sword, and headed in the direction of due north. Zhao Ran could see clearly that there were exactly three people who were at the head, and their faces were stiff, as if they had smeared golden wax.

Zhao Ran was dozens of feet behind the group, and it was not until dusk that the group stopped, lit a bonfire under a mountain col, and began to sleep open. For more than an hour before going to bed, the three people who started talked about all the world, all the messy trivial matters in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Ran eavesdropped all night, and he didn't overhear much useful information, and he was never able to confirm the identities of the three people.

As soon as the morning dawned, the group continued northward, bypassing two small hills, and a stockade appeared in front of them. The village is not big, and there are still a few dilapidated houses.

The first three swaggered and broke in with people, and some people in the stockade rushed out one after another to resist, but they were all taken. After that, a lean man came out, and his martial arts didn't look weak, but he was put down in a few moves.

Then Zhao Ran finally heard what he wanted to know.

After the thieves in the village were driven away from the cottage, Zhao Ran blocked them in the middle of the road, and without talking nonsense, the old donkey "Angang" a few times, and all the dozen or so bandits were killed, and Zhao Ran gained a meritorious force.

When Zhao Ran led the old donkey to appear in the cottage, the strongman who grabbed the mountain surrounded him, and the three people were in a three-legged position, dividing Zhao Ran in front, left and right.

"Who is the Taoist chief? I don't know what I'm doing here?" the person in front of him asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Ran looked at the three strongmen and said with a smile: "You three, what are you doing here?"

"This is my village, the Taoist chief trespassed into my cottage, did not make his intentions clear, but deliberately asked each other, what is the reason?"

"Your village? No, Poor Dao saw it clearly just now, it seems that this is someone else's village, and he just grabbed it when he went out. ”

The leader nodded and said, "It turns out that the Dao Leader has arrived a long time ago...... Yes, this place was originally someone else's village, but since it has been occupied by us, it has become our stockade. ”

Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "I can't see it, my brain is spinning very fast, and I can speak well, I don't look like a mountain bandit." Tell me, who are you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Ran rolled his eyes: "Don't pretend, I understand that people say happy things, since Poor Dao has found this place today, do you think you can still hide it?"

The person on the other side was slightly stunned, and Zhao Ran glanced at the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Is the Taoist chief interested in this village? Walking the rivers and lakes can be regarded as a good fate, and he may be able to take care of each other one or two in the future, I don't know what will happen in the long run?"

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Still pretending, your brothers can't look down on this broken village, and I can't look down on Poor Dao, it's okay, to be honest, Poor Dao is not interested in occupying the mountain and seizing the village, Poor Dao is from Guyang County, so you understand?"

The person on the left couldn't help but lose color and said, "Junshan Temple?"

Zhao Ran snorted and smiled at him: "Yes, you still have a good eye, do you want to sit down and talk about it......"

Before he finished speaking, there was wind in the back of his head, Zhao Ran took a look and sighed: "I can't do it." With a slip of footsteps, he instantly got out of the way, and the long sword of the person behind him missed.

Zhao Ran sighed: "Look at you, are you trapped? How can bandits and bandits use swords?"

"Dick!"

"Second brother!"

The two people jumped over, one blocked in front of Zhao Ran, and the other helped the person who vomited blood up, and at the same time looked at Zhao Ran, and said in horror: "Fight the Bull God Fist across the mountain?" (to be continued......
