Chapter 18: Sectarian Industries
The swords were staggered, leaving no room for Bai Tang to dodge at all, and several people seemed to have seen the scene of blood splattering on Bai Tang's body, and they couldn't help but show a cruel smile on their faces.
They love to kill, and they love the fear and despair in the eyes of those who are dying when they see blood flying.
Of course, they only like to see it all in others.
If it happens to them, they will also feel hopeless.
Out of the corner of their eyes, a white shadow drifted by, and then a flawless white umbrella swirled in front of the tip of their sword.
The sword stabbed on the surface of the umbrella should have been like a bamboo, but the moment their sword touched the umbrella, it swung uncontrollably to the side, and a force was transmitted to their hands, shaking their arms numb.
Their sword formation was in chaos, and the umbrella suddenly closed at this moment, and then saw a snow-white sword light stabbing out from behind the umbrella.
What a fast sword!
The sword light seemed to be painted in the shape of a snowflake, and before the two of them could react, they were hit in an instant, and fell to the ground with reluctance and despair.
The rest of the people either dodged or parried, perhaps because they were better, but they all escaped by luck.
But before they could rejoice, the sword light flashed and turned into two snowflakes......
"First killing?"
The voice is indifferent, soft, as if it has no emotion, but it has a magical penetrating power, even if you don't listen to it with your heart, you can hear it clearly, as if it can resonate with people's hearts.
Bai Tang was awakened by this sound and gradually came back to his senses. Although the murderous scene lingered in his mind, he finally got rid of the heavy burden in his heart for a while.
"I'll get used to it later. After Tang Xuexian left these words, he had already drifted away.
At this time, Lu Weishuang and Qiu Yueshui arrived, and when they saw Bai Tang's appearance, they couldn't empathize, they just came to Bai Tang's side left and right, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it's just the first time to kill someone, and I don't feel good......" Bai Tang said, suddenly a little curious, "Are you used to killing people for the first time?"
Lu Weishuang and Qiu Yueshui glanced at each other, and then both shook their heads.
"I haven't killed anyone. Lu Weishuang said.
"Neither did I. Qiu Yueshui said.
"But I've killed chickens, and I've killed wild boars. Lu Weishuang added.
"I've killed fish. Qiu Yueshui followed.
"I've killed flies and mosquitoes before...... Bai Tang was speechless.
"Has Senior Sister Hua killed anyone before?" Bai Tang thought of Hua Yinxue's indifferent appearance when she killed so many masked people on the mountain.
After Qiu Yueshui pondered for a while, he said: "There shouldn't be, Senior Sister Hua has never been out of Tianxue Valley, so there shouldn't be a chance to kill." ”
Bai Tang was immediately deeply impressed that he was inferior to a woman in this regard.
"Actually, since you have practiced martial arts, you should be aware of killing. Lu Weishuang suddenly spoke, "I think Senior Sister Hua must have already come to her senses, she is such a person, she has always worked hard and is very strong." ”
Bai Tang couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of Hua Yinxue's appearance, forcing himself to look at the corpse on the ground.
After a long time, Bai Tang turned around, slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
After this breath was exhaled, Bai Tang's heart was much calmer. Since he came to this world, he has to adapt to the laws of survival in this world, not let this world adapt to him.
"Let's go. ”
When the three of them came out of the woods, they found a corpse lying on the ground outside the forest, apparently there had been a big fight.
However, at this moment, the battle is over, but Tianxue's disciples are still on guard, and they don't dare to relax for a while.
Seeing Bai Tang and the three of them coming back, Luo Chengxin was obviously relieved.
"What's going on here?" asked Bai Tang.
Luo Chengxin looked at the corpse on the ground, and a touch of murderous intent flashed on his face: "Not long after you entered that forest, dozens of people came out from the other side of the forest. Their goal was the ID card we were going to take to Kongtong, but we stopped us. Fortunately, only some disciples were injured, and no one died. ”
Bai Tang asked, "Can you see where they came from?"
Luo Chengxin said: "They are not masked, they are obviously not afraid of being recognized, they must be some little minions, and they are not famous in the rivers and lakes." However, judging from their purpose alone, it seems that they are afraid that we will bring the witnesses alive to the Kongtong faction. ”
"Could it really be someone from the Kongtong faction? Otherwise, why would you do such a murderous thing?" Lu Weishuang guessed.
Luo Chengxin shook his head: "It's not sure yet, maybe someone is playing tricks." ”
This raid alone really doesn't show much fame, but it is like a wake-up call to the Tianxue disciples, and their itinerary is no longer as full of laughter and laughter as when they first came out of the valley, but a little more solemn.
The atmosphere was a little solemn.
The Tianxue disciples also prepared some medicines for this trip, they have all been in contact with medicine, at least they can be regarded as half doctors. The lightly injured have been treated simply, and the seriously injured can only be carried first, and then find a place to recuperate when they arrive in the town.
Most of the disciples also experienced a battle for the first time and killed people with their own hands for the first time. Some of them also have a certain amount of negative emotions like Bai Tang, but most of them quickly adapted, after all, they have lived in such an era since they were children, and they are naturally mentally prepared to kill people.
For those disciples who feel uncomfortable, there are also people who enlighten them along the way. Once in town, the whole team was rejuvenated.
Most of these girls came to the town for the first time, and they only cared about practicing martial arts on weekdays, and Tianxue Valley was the whole world for them.
Now that they have come to this lively town, the disciples of Tianxue are like fairies in the sky who have just entered the mortal world, and they feel that everything in the town is so novel, even the sugar gourds that can be seen everywhere can make them excited for a long time.
However, the disciples of Tianxue are very disciplined, adhere to the principle of not taking a stitch from the people, and when they see something they like, they just play with it and return it.
As for why they don't buy it, the answer is simple, because they don't have the money.
Where does the income of the Jianghu sect come from? This is a metaphysical question.
Generally, Taoist or Buddhist sects live on incense money and offerings; some sects have their own industries, and there are people in the gang who are specifically responsible for running businesses; there are also sects that occupy land and make a living by renting land and hiring tenants to farm; and some sects are more single, they take black business as the concept, and specialize in those illegal businesses to make money, such as gambling houses, brothels, and even collecting protection money, which is much better than bandits.
There are very few sects that can make a living from tuition, and those who are generally willing to pay tuition to learn martial arts must find a famous sect on the rivers and lakes, but that kind of sect is not inferior to your tuition. Unless you meet the children of a large family, the income from tuition fees is completely negligible.
The sect is not a school, and there is no reason to charge tuition once a year and drive you away after a few years of school. Therefore, there will only be more and more disciples, and naturally they will not be recruited at will.
And industries like Tianxue are more powerful, they sell umbrellas.
