Chapter 168: Mountain bandits are coming
"What, this is scared, what about the momentum of the shouting just now?" Zhou Geng's tone was serious and cold, like a strict coach, reprimanding his students.
"You guys who have no chance, don't hurry up and do what the immortal master says. The old village chief watched anxiously from the side, afraid that Zhou Geng would not be willing to teach when he saw that everyone was overwhelmed, so he immediately reprimanded the young and middle-aged people in the village.
As a man whose prestige in the village is second only to the old village chief, Tie Zhu is the person who listens to the old village chief the most. Now seeing the old village chief speak, he had to take the lead to get dry firewood and carry water.
More than 20 furnaces with peculiar patterns were filled with water, and firewood was lit to boil, and Zhou put an appropriate amount of pill powder into each furnace, as well as herbs that are conducive to quenching the body and refining blood, cutting hair and washing the marrow.
In a moment, the boiling water in the stove wafted out a rich herbal smell, and the current scene really had the illusion of a big tonic soup waiting for the meat to be put into the pot.
For a long time, the water in the furnace was not boiling, but the bottom was still burning with firewood, keeping the temperature of the potion in the furnace not dropping.
"Who's going to come first!" Zhou Geng felt almost the same, and said to everyone.
Everyone hesitated, and Tie Zhu looked at the old village chief, who could see a little expectation in the old village chief's cloudy eyes, hoping that they would take this step bravely, and that they would become strong as soon as possible and protect their families and villages.
"Isn't it just a pot of boiling water?
The majestic voice of the iron pillar sounded, and he did not want to disappoint the old village chief, so he strode to the furnace that could accommodate one person, with hot air on it and firewood burning below, and without any hesitation, he took off his shirt and walked into the furnace full of the smell of medicine.
"Ah......h
Although the potion of the furnace was no longer boiling, the temperature was still very high, and the iron pillar entered for less than a moment, and the skin was burned red, and he couldn't help but let out a roar.
The rest of the more than 100 young adults, looking at it, the whole person of the iron pillar was red, especially the scream, and he was so frightened that he took half a step back.
"What are you waiting for? Could it be that the immortal master and the village chief still want to invite you?" Tie Zhu gritted his teeth and endured the burning pain brought by the skin, and shouted at the hundred or so people with angry eyes.
The young adults glanced at each other, first lowered their heads in shame, and then clenched their hands tightly into fists, took a breath in their hearts, gritted their teeth and soaked in the furnace potion.
"Ahhh......h
Immediately afterwards, the screams continued, but no one admitted, flinched, and crawled out of the hot potion, and the resolute and resolute expression between the eyebrows of each young man had already shown their determination, even if they were scalded to death today, they would never take half a step out of the furnace.
The elderly village chief next to him looked at the young and middle-aged people in the village, and continued to work hard to achieve the goal of living and working in peace and contentment and not being bullied by foreign forces, and he was very relieved and distressed.
An hour later......
The firewood that kept the temperature of the furnace potion was all used up, and the young man breathed a long sigh of relief as if he was relieved of his burden, and finally survived until the end.
The first person to walk out of the furnace was Tiezhu, who noticed the changes in his body and exclaimed, "I feel that my body is much more relaxed than before, and I feel so comfortable inside and out, this feeling is amazing......"
The iron pillar could not say what was wonderful, but he really felt it, and he walked like a swallow in the wind, and smashed his fist on the tree, although the trunk was not broken, but under this force, it caused a shaking, shaking off a large leaf.
"My strength has increased several times, just a hot bath just now, and it has changed so much, it's incredible!"
Tie Zhu retracted his distracted gaze, clasped his hands into fists, knelt in front of Zhou Geng, and said: "I am a rough man, I have never read any poetry books, and I can't say beautiful words. ”
The rest of the young adults walked out of the furnace one after another, and the iron pillar knelt down and said, "Thank you for the strength given by the immortal master!"
"Thanks to you for trusting me, I naturally can't treat you badly, and as for this bowing ceremony, there is no need to do so in the future. "Zhou has helped everyone improve their strength a little, and they have a sense of accomplishment in their hearts, and they are even happier than breaking through the realm by themselves.
In the following days, Zhou Geng took a large group of people to all kinds of overload training, if ordinary people trained like this, not only would their life expectancy be reduced, but it was estimated that they would have died a long time ago.
Every day, he would let these young adults soak in the potion he had prepared for an hour to restore the meridians, qi and blood that had been damaged by overload, and his physique could become stronger and stronger.
In addition to taking them to overload training, Zhou Geng also asked these hundreds of people to open up the wasteland and farm the land, and restore the fruitful crops of the past as soon as possible.
That way, they don't have to be asked to carry big rocks on their backs to the mountains every day to hunt for food, and come back, not to mention the long distance, and it is really time-consuming.
Although everyone is still boiling the pot together, the smoke of the owl while cooking adds a touch of life to the originally lifeless village.
When the old people in the village get up every day, they can still hear a large group of people at the entrance of the village exercising in the morning, and the slogans in unison can always cause the children to come and watch, waving their young hands, and learning the adults to exercise one move at a time.
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and all the young and middle-aged people have finally achieved great results under the devilish training of Zhou Geng, and all of them have officially stepped into the realm of quenching.
Even if they are still a certain distance away from formal immortal cultivation, in the mortal world, these people already belong to the ranks of masters, and their strength and speed are not comparable to ordinary people.
In particular, more than a dozen people led by Tie Zhu successfully broke through the triple realm of quenching, and the remaining young adults also ranged between the double and the first quenching.
In this wild place where the aura is thin, a considerable force has already formed, and all of this is thanks to Zhou Geng's personal guidance and the help of that furnace and potion to stimulate the potential of these people.
A few miles outside the village, there was a group armed with scimitars, riding a big horse under the crotch, with fierce faces, about seventy or eighty people, all of them were either one-eyed or bald with fat heads and big ears, and their whole body involuntarily exuded a banditry aura.
"Three masters, look! Someone in the village in front of you has set off fireworks, proving that the food in this village is good, and they are still cooking, or we will go over and take a look, maybe there are some beautiful girls who can take them back to the village to enjoy!" A mountain bandit with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, thin lips and pointed face, pointed in the direction of Wujia Village.
The third master nodded: "Well, you're right, Lao Tzu has been suffocated these days, and there are countless beauties in the big boss and the second boss, but it's not for me to touch." ”
"If a beauty shows up today, don't give it to me anymore, I have three masters to play, you little rabbits are indispensable. Let's go, grab the beauty!"
Seventy or eighty mountain bandits rode their horses and whips, brandished the cold scimitars in their hands, and let out excited roars from their mouths, and rushed towards Wujia Village.
At the head of Wujia Village, an old man was playing under the big banyan tree with his children, and when he saw the dust and smoke raised in the distance and the familiar sound of horses' hooves, he knew who was coming, and shouted in a panic.
"Oh no, no...... The bandits are here again!"
The young man who was training, when he heard the word mountain bandit, his eyes were red, revealing a murderous gaze.
These days, everyone is training so desperately, just waiting for this moment, killing the mountain bandits, and avenging the dead young man.
"I've been training you for so long, it's time to put it to use, come out with me to fight!" Zhou Geng led one hundred and fifty young men to the outside of the village to greet the mountain bandits who came with a whip.
"Appeal ......"
A group of people led by the three leaders of the mountain bandits, at a distance of about ten steps at the entrance of the village, pulled the horse rope violently, and the horse immediately stopped advancing.
"It's really strange today, someone actually saw that our mountain bandits didn't dodge or dodge, so they stood in front of them stupidly and blocked the way, could it be that they were afraid of me?"
The words of the third master caused the entourage behind him to laugh, and he didn't take Brother Zhou and the young adults of Wujia Village in his eyes at all.
The contemptuous gaze and sarcastic expression of the mountain bandits made the young man in Wujia Village almost lose control on the spot, and he wanted to rush up to fight to the death, but a beautiful and pleasant voice diverted everyone's attention.
"Yo! It's been a lively day! I'm bored these days, but I'm finally going to have something interesting. ”
Tu Shanshan's sisters' fairy-like appearances slowly walked to Zhou Geng's side, fascinated the mountain bandits and fell to the ground, and hurriedly wiped their saliva and said.
"If the two fairies are bored, how about I take you to the grass to hide and seek?"
Tu Shanshan's sister Qianqianyu covered her mouth with her hand and smiled, and the laughter like the collision of silver bells made people feel numb when they heard it, and whispered: "Then you have to ask my husband if he agrees!"
"Is your husband this little white face? I cut him with a knife, you two will follow me from now on to eat and drink spicy, I promise that I won't be able to treat you two badly!"
The bandit leader in front of him was full of obscene smiles, which made Zhou even more uncomfortable, and he even wanted to cut him with a knife, didn't the other party eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?
Zhou Geng didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and said with a gloomy face: "Except for this fat-headed and big-eared guy left for me, don't keep any other living mouths, kill them all for me!"
"Yes!"
The young and middle-aged people of Wujia Village shook the sky in unison, and the simple weapons such as firewood knives and red tassel guns in their hands suddenly slashed at the mountain bandits on horseback as their bodies moved, and the speed was far several times faster than ordinary people.
"How so?"
The leader of the mountain bandits, the third master, watched with shock on his face as shadows passed by, which was fundamentally different from the ordinary villagers he killed on weekdays, he was simply a group of martial artists who had practiced martial arts for many years, and his body was so agile that it was difficult to capture.
"Ahhh......h
The screams of the mountain bandits abounded, and the corpses of the mountain bandits fell from their horses, and it was a massacre with almost no suspense.
The fat-headed and big-eared mountain bandit leader, seeing his men dying one after another, knew that this time he kicked the iron nail board, his liver trembled violently, and he turned from fear to panic, and accidentally fell from the horse to the ground, he simply pretended to be dead, wanting to get away with it and avoid the fate of being killed.
Zhou Geng and Tu Shanshan sisters paced over, looking down at the three masters who were pretending to be dead with dusty faces, and kicked the other party hard but did not react, so they had to take out the cold Xuantie big knife that he rarely used, and the moment it was clamped on the other party's neck, the other party finally came to life.
