Chapter 62: The Threat of the Sanssouci Gang
After thanking Sister-in-law Wang, Tianchen walked towards the village chief's house, and soon Tianchen came to the door of the patriarch of Mochizuki Village.
"Is Village Chief Liu Huzi here?"
"Who's looking for the old man?" Suddenly the door creaked open, and out of it came an old man with gray hair, who came slowly to the door with a cane, and poked his head out to look.
Tianchen saw the appearance of this old man, which reminded him of his grandfather and hurriedly replied: "Grandpa Liu is me, I have been in a coma before I called Tianchen, xiexie, you promised to let my people live here, and allowed me to heal in Sister-in-law Wang's house." ”
"Hehe, it turns out that the person who was in a coma before was you, yes, yes, very polite at a young age, I see that you seem to be fine, I don't know what to do with the old decay?"
"That's the case, I have some questions I want to ask you, I don't know if Grandpa Liu has time?"
"I see, Tianchen, right? Come in, it's windy outside, let's sit down and talk slowly." Liu Huzi saw that Tianchen was polite and sensible, and said to Tianchen kindly.
"Grandpa Liu, here's how it goes......" After Tianchen came to the door, he told Village Chief Liu about his intentions. ”
After listening to what Tianchen asked, Village Chief Liu touched his long white beard with his hand and thought about it seriously......
After thinking for a long time, Village Chief Liu raised his head and said to Tianchen: "It is said that thousands of years ago, I don't know what happened, so that this vast Star Continent was divided into countless pieces, and the land we live in now is called the Star West Continent, and there are ...... But this western continent of Xingchen alone is millions of miles wide, but the old man has never even been thousands of miles away from the village, which is really a big regret in life. ”
"As for the matter of the sect you said, Xiaoyou, I have heard of it, and I don't know what the situation of the sect thousands of miles away is, but within a radius of thousands of miles, although there are many villages and more than a dozen small towns, there are only two monk sects. ”
"One is called the Tianmen Sect, and the other is called the Lanyue Sect, and these two sects are a thousand miles away from here, but these two sects will not interfere much in the fights between mortals, unless there is a village with more qualifications, and if it enters the sect and will be valued, the village will be protected by the sect. ”
"Our village has not yet produced a qualified haode baby, although there are a few low-qualified ones but they have not been selected by those two sects, zuihou have stayed in the village, and later they relied on the one hundred taels of silver accumulated by the village, and the qi refining method bought from Xinglin County, with their own efforts, they have cultivated to the fifth or sixth order of qi refining. ”
"Although they only have the fifth or sixth order of qi refining, it is already very good for a small village like ours, I thought that with a few of their monks in the village, the village would be relatively peaceful. ”
"But since ten years ago, there was a gang in Xianglin Town, dozens of miles ahead, and since then the hard life has come in this small village in this neighborhood, and that gang is called the Sanssouci Gang. ”
"This worry-free gang will send many gangs every year to various villages to collect peace money, each village will be charged fifty taels of silver every year, if you don't pay, then a lot of bad things will happen in the village in the future, such as poultry will die for no reason, and children will often be lost. ”
"Everyone knows that the Sanssouci Gang is the devil but there is nowhere to turn for help, and those monks don't care about it at all. ”
"Our village is naturally indispensable to be taken care of by them, but the gang members of the Worry-Free Gang who came to our village to collect money were beaten away by a few monks in the village who were refining qi at the fifth and sixth levels, I thought that they would be jealous when they saw that there were monks in our village, and they would not come to our village to collect money again. ”
"Who knew that within a few days, the carefree gang brought a man wearing a sword with him, and after the man wearing the sword came to the village, without saying a word, he slashed at the monks in the village with a sword that emitted flames, and the monks in the village couldn't resist that person at all, and all of them were killed, and even their bodies were burned to ashes by the man wearing the sword with fire magic......"
"Later, the village was required to pay a hundred taels of silver as a punishment, if they did not pay...... In desperation, the village had to pay a hundred taels of silver before the matter was settled, and then every year they would come to the village to ask for money, our village was not rich, and gradually it was almost impossible to pay the silver taels. ”
"It was helpless to collect the fifty taels of silver from your clan a few days ago, there are not many silver taels in our village, if we can't pay enough silver taels this year, I don't know how they will retaliate against our village, and even your people will be in danger, the old man has no choice but to accept your fifty taels of silver, the old man is really guilty......
"Grandpa Liu, don't say that, you don't accept the silver two for money but to help everyone solve the dilemma, the fault is not yours, the worry-free gang is the culprit, don't feel guilty. After Tianchen finished speaking to Village Chief Liu, he lowered his head and pondered.
"According to what Grandpa Liu said, the man holding the sword may be a cultivator of the Condensation Realm, and he said that those two sects don't care about mortal affairs, which can mean that the man should be a loose cultivator. ”
"I just don't know how many monks there are in the Sanssouci Gang, and what level they have reached, if I want to join the sect, I must first solve the problems of this gang, only in this way can the calf and them live here safely, and I can join the sect with peace of mind. ”
After Tianchen sorted things out, he said to Village Chief Liu: "By the way, Grandpa Liu's worry-free gang, how long will it take to send someone to this village to collect money?"
"They will come in about half a year, almost every year before the Chinese New Year, they come to collect money at that time, this bandit gang is ....... Village Chief Liu was very angry when he talked about this gang.
Tianchen saw that Village Chief Liu was sulking there, and hurriedly said to him: "Grandpa Liu, don't be angry, that gang is evil, and one day I will clean them up, by the way, Grandpa Liu, how to get to that Xianglin Town? I want to go over there to buy something and go over there for a walk." ”
"Xianglin Town is not difficult to walk, from the road in front of this village to go forward, there is an intersection not far away, you just keep going to the left, you can reach Xianglin Town, it takes about half a day, if you want to go, it is best to bring some dry food on your body, so as not to be hungry on the road." Village Chief Liu said earnestly to Tianchen.
"Xiexie Grandpa Liu told me so many things, then I'll go back first, you can rest early. After Tianchen understood the matter, he was ready to go back and start preparing for going to Xianglin Town.
"Well, you go, come and talk to the old man when you have time, the old man has to find someone like you to talk to, remember to come and play often." Village Chief Liu reluctantly said goodbye to Tianchen.
After saying goodbye to Village Chief Liu, Tianchen walked to the dilapidated hut, and soon Tianchen entered the room, and Xiaopeng, Xiaoling, and Xiaomeng were also in the room at this time, it turned out that Xiaoniu had just woken up, and everyone was very happy to hear the news, so they all came to this room.
Tianchen was also very happy to see the calf wake up, and hurriedly came to the calf to greet him: "How are you feeling now, calf, are you okay?"
"Big brother, I'm fine, hehe, I'm strong and fine, but where is this? Why is it so shabby? What about the others, everyone is okay?"
Everyone listened to the calf's question, and they didn't know how to speak to the calf.
"Here's the thing...... Tianchen didn't want to hide it from the calf, so he told the calf about the things in the canyon.
"Everyone has already ......" Although the calf was a little mentally prepared, it was still very sad to hear this.
Tianchen comforted the calf for a while, and then Tianchen also told everyone about the worry-free gang that he had just talked about with Village Chief Liu.
After listening to Tianchen's story, everyone was very angry about what the worry-free gang had done, and Xiaomeng was also very sorry for his mistake for thinking that Village Chief Liu was greedy for money.
"What should we do if Tianchen's worry-free gang comes to collect money after half a year?Do you want to teach them a lesson?" Xiao Ling said angrily.
Tianchen thought about it in his heart for a while, and then said to Xiao Ling and them seriously: "I want to cultivate seriously for a few months first to refine the Yuan Force as soon as possible, and after a while, I will go to Naxianglin Town first to find out the details of the worry-free gang, and then we will decide how to act." ”
"The clansmen have finally settled down now, we can't act brutally, we must be cautious, otherwise we may bring the clansmen into danger again, Lin Lao, Uncle Lin are gone, we must protect the clansmen for them, of course, we must also protect this village, this place is now our shelter. ”
"Well, we know, we won't act brutally, Tianchen will let us go with you when the time comes, it will be more dangerous for you to go alone before you reach the Condensation Realm, and it will be safer for us to accompany you." ”
"No, you have to stay, the village has no protective ability now, and the clansmen can't cultivate and need you to stay to protect them, have you forgotten that I have five kinds of yuan power? And I still have a ring, you don't have to worry about me, even if I can't beat the enemy, I can still escape, you don't worry, I'll be fine, and the village and the clansmen will be handed over to you at that time." ”
"Well, Tianchen, then you have to be careful when the time comes......" Xiaoling, Xiaomeng, Xiaopeng, and Xiaoniu didn't insist on going with Tianchen, they knew that Tianchen was right, the village really needed their protection.
"By the way, Tianchen, the clansmen are waiting for you outside the village, and they want to talk to you about asking you to take over as the patriarch. Little Dream got up and quickly said it.
"Well, I know let's go out together, and I have something to tell them. After Tianchen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house.
