Chapter 16: A Journey Beyond the Mountains (4)
Liu Yiwen was stunned, put down the scoop in his hand and hurried out.
He's now flying in the air. Just now he went to see Huayang Zhenren, and it turned out that some villagers had come to report that the gang of bandits had gone to the town this morning and robbed several rich families. He asked for the general direction and hurried to the place where the incident occurred. Although these bandits are gone, there will always be some clues left, and the chance of catching up with his speed is not small.
In front of several wretched courtyards, there were faint cries of women and children. Liu Yiwen stopped, asked a few words, and then hurried towards a certain place. In this way, he flew and stopped to check, and felt that this gang of bandits should not be far away.
Sure enough, after flying for a while, he heard a wail in the distance, and the words "spare your life!" were endless.
When he flew closer to take a look, he couldn't help but be stunned: I saw a man in green clothes standing there with his back to him. More than a hundred people knelt in front of the man, and they kept falling to the ground and worshipping, and knives, guns, swords, and halberds on the ground were thrown indiscriminately. "Immortal Master spare his life!"
The man suddenly waved his hand to silence them, and then said sharply: "You people don't know what to do, and you are a disaster in the township." Today I have encountered a necessary punishment, and I will see if you dare to make waves in the future!"
Everyone kneeling down hurriedly shouted in unison: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Then the young man pointed to a bandit who looked like a leader and said, "As an immortal cultivator, you don't want to make progress, but you have been reduced to doing the thing of a chicken and a dog thief. ”
The leader of the bandits did not argue, but folded his head to the side in shame.
"If you haven't hurt anyone's life, I'll spare you from death. But I'll leave something on you for you to have some scruples about later. ”
With that, a thumb-sized white light flew above the man and disappeared into his skull.
After doing all this, the weapons on the ground were captured by him and tied into a ball in the air, and then he blew on the blades again, and in the blink of an eye, these weapons turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground.
Where have the bandits on the ground seen such might, all of them tremble, like a sieve of chaff.
The young man snorted coldly and shouted: "Return all the property you have looted! If I see you doing evil again, I will not forgive, get out!"
The people who knelt on the ground were all like they had been pardoned, and they went away in a hurry. But the half-burnt incense time is gone!
The young man seemed to have discovered Liu Yiwen's existence a long time ago, and slowly turned his head and smiled: "I don't want to meet you kid again!"
Liu Yiwen felt a little familiar when he first looked at his back, especially the gourd on his waist. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute this person, and said solemnly: "Yiwen has seen Senior Jiang!"
Jiang Huaishan asked with great interest, "You are also here for this group of bandits?"
Liu Yiwen said: "The younger generation was ordered by the family teacher to come here to protect the Yunhe Taoist Temple! Last year, several Taoist bandits were seriously injured. I didn't expect the seniors to be here, and I helped the juniors to send this gang of gangsters. ”
Jiang Huaishan suddenly said: "I see! Although these people have done evil but their sins are not to death, let them have a chance to mend their ways!"
Liu Yiwen nodded and said: "It's still the seniors who think it through, if the juniors are angry, maybe they will kill in vain." ”
Jiang Huaishan said solemnly: "Yiwen, although you and I are immortal cultivators, don't have a careless heart for ordinary people. Buddhism says that all living beings are equal, so we must uphold fairness in everything. Even if an immortal cultivator is still divided into high realms, if a person with a high realm oppresses a person with a low realm, will you also have resentment in your heart?"
Liu Yiwen has not thought deeply about this since he began his practice. Thinking back to being bullied by Wei Song when he was grinding sword peak, he really had a lot of resentment in his heart, and he couldn't help but admire the open-mindedness of this senior. He hurriedly bowed down and said, "The seniors have taught us, Yiwen has been taught!"
Jiang Huaishan was surprised: "Yiwen is so humble and teachable, and there is no rebuttal. ”
Liu Yiwen replied crisply: "Since it is the truth, why do you need to refute it." ”
A few people chatted a few more words, and suddenly Jiang Huaishan sniffed lightly and looked left and right. Finally, his eyes fell on him, and his eyes lit up and said, "Yiwen actually drank alcohol?"
At this time, the corners of his mouth were salivating, how could he still have the appearance of the fairy wind Dao bone just now.
When Liu Yiwen came, he had a little wine on his body, and his heart moved: "If Senior Jiang is fine, you can go to the Taoist Temple with your disciples to drink a few glasses." There is a kind of fine wine called 'Yanquan Spring' in this town, although it is not as sweet and refreshing as the spirit wine of its predecessors, but it is not far from it!"
Jiang Huaishan said in surprise when he heard this: "Oh, there is such a good wine in the world? ”
He didn't say a word and sacrificed a disc-like flying magic weapon, and the two of them went away against the wind!
When Liu Yiwen returned to the house, he first arranged for Jiang Huaishan to sit down in the front hall, and then took a jar of "Yanquan Spring" from the backyard. This is the last time he went to Master Lu to pick up the koji, he bought a batch from the winery by the way. According to Master Lu, this batch of wine has been cellared for 20 years, and it is only circulated in the winery, and it is not sold in the market. Liu Yiwen put the wine in the backyard mainly for research and blending, and now it is just right to entertain this alcoholic Jiang senior.
The mud seal was removed, and the smell of wine came to the nose. Liu Yiwen had just filled the wine, and Jiang Huaishan couldn't wait to taste it. He closed his eyes and savored for a moment, then nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad! The cellar fragrance is rich and mellow!"
The two cups went back and forth, and Liu Yiwen inadvertently inquired about why this senior appeared here. It turned out that Jiang Huaishan was going to the Valley of the Divine Hand to invite someone to make alchemy this time. I happened to pass by here, so there was the scene just now.
When the wine was full, Jiang Huaishan suddenly put down his wine glass and was silent.
Liu Yiwen was worried in his heart, the two were talking happily just now, and he was careful to speak. Could it be that there is something that offends the taboo of this senior. Seeing that Jiang Huaishan was silent, he didn't dare to disturb lightly, so he sat up with him like this.
After touching half of the incense time, Jiang Huaishan pointed to the wine glass and motioned for Liu Yiwen to pour the wine, and the latter hurriedly filled it. Then he drank the wine without saying a word, and after repeating this three times, he finally spoke: "Although there is good wine, it is a pity that it is no longer a thing!"
Liu Yiwen said cautiously: "I don't know why my predecessors are suddenly so sad?"
I saw a sad look in his eyes, and sighed: "It's all old things, don't mention it!"
After a while, Jiang Huaishan's mood slowly calmed down.
He looked at Liu Yiwen and said lightly: "Yiwen's mission here has been completed, what if there is nothing else to accompany me to the Valley of the Divine Hand?"
Liu Yiwen was slightly stunned, and then said with great joy: "The disciple obeys the order!"
Now that the problem of banditry has been solved, he has completed his mission. This Jiang senior's practice is profound, if he can follow him and receive a guide or two, he will definitely benefit a lot.
He cleaned up the things in the house a little, and then explained the whole story to Huayang Zhenren, and left with Jiang Huaishan.
