Chapter 2: Cutting Paths and Mountain Bandits
"Old evil, you have been killed so powerful, don't expect me to help you avenge you below!"
Luo Jiangshang's current cultivation is only to induce qi into the body, and he can't fly in the air or control the magic weapon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But the pair of senior brothers and sisters flattened the mountains around the Guizang Cave with flying swords, and the entrance of the Guizang Cave had already floated to the mountain stream, and Luo Jiangshang stepped out and reached the valley directly.
By the time the body of the evil man was found, he had been dismantled into eight pieces, his hands, feet, head, and three pieces of his body.
Luo Jiangshang wiped his tears and buried the eight corpses.
Looking at the grave, I sighed.
Everyone wants to cultivate immortals, but they don't know that the road to cultivating immortals is full of hardships, how many people can really succeed in crossing the tribulation and ascending? Most of them are like evil people, who die on the road to success, become a stepping stone for others, or die because of love and hatred.
Luo Jiangshang made up his mind and set the 'three noes' criterion for himself.
Don't make enemies with others casually, don't move your true feelings by the way, and don't do things that you can't do.
These three points are really important, as long as you can stick to it, the troubles on the path of cultivating immortals can be reduced by at least five layers.
However, Luo Jiangshang also knew that it was not up to him to decide whether to make a feud or not, perhaps in a certain polder market, a certain shopping, a casual glance might trigger: 'What are you looking at?' 'What are you looking at?' This kind of discordant conversation then turned into a violent conflict, with one party killing the other and the other party's parents and friends looking for revenge.
Returning to Guizang Cave and looking at this home that had been with him for more than two months, Luo Jiangshang felt a little reluctant in his heart.
However, it has been missing for two months, and the parents and family in Yuzhu City must be worried to death. Luo Jiangshang packed up the soft and put the things that could still be used, some herbs, pills and magic weapons, all into the 'Qiankun Pocket', and the last fire was lit in the Guizang Cave.
Looking at the flames outside the mountain stream, Luo Jiangshang finally turned around and left firmly.
Guizang Cave is five or six hundred miles west of Yuzhu City, and Luo Jiangshang still knows it. However, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to find a path.
When Luo Jiangshang found out that he had made a mistake, he had already lost his way on the road.
Fortunately, where there is a way, there is a city.
Luo Jiangshang walked forward for an unknown number of hours, and the sun sank from the middle sky to the ground, finally allowing him to see a towering city wall. All the way quickly approached, the city tower on the book 'Chime Stone Mansion' three words.
Seeing the city gate slowly closing, Luo Jiangshang accelerated his pace, unconsciously transported the mana to the soles of his feet, and the speed was immediately like a galloping arrow, shooting through the gaps between the city gates, and the young general guarding the city only felt a gust of wind blowing. By the time Luo Jiangshang stopped, he had already come to the city.
Find a brightly lit inn, and ask for an upper room with a little silver.
In the past few months, Luo Jiangshang has not felt what it is like to talk to others, and his speech has become a little wooden. I haven't taken a bath with water for a long time, and when I returned to the cave, I almost used mana to blow away the sweat and dust on my body.
Take a soothing bath and enjoy a supper.
Luo Jiangshang felt happy and was about to faint, he really missed the worldly life.
No wonder extravagance degrades people.
On the second day, Luo Jiangshang came to the bazaar, where some caravans were usually gathered that were about to travel far away, and he just wanted to see if anyone was going to Yuzhu City, so that he could take him with him.
I have to say that Luo Jiangshang's luck is very good.
A large caravan was heading east, crossing the border and selling goods to other countries, and it happened to pass through the city of Chongqing on the way.
Luo Jiangshang happily paid the money and got into a manned carriage.
There were also some civilians in the carriage, either to visit relatives in the east, or to beg for a living in the east.
Every monk, when he is cultivating, will have a vision. It's either smoky or colorful. On the long journey, Luo Jiangshang didn't want to be too eye-catching, or shocking. Therefore, there was no cross-knee practice in the carriage, but chatting with other passengers.
The lives of the people are very simple and fulfilling, which is what Luo Jiang still feels in the chat.
Sometimes they complain about life, dissatisfied with this and that, but more often they are proud of their children. 'My kid is angry, unlike my father, who studies hard, and will definitely be a big official in the future. ''My daughter was born graceful, and if I could marry a rich merchant in the future, I would be satisfied.'' ’
Luo Jiangshang will always laugh and praise a few words.
The caravan has been walking east for two days, and there are four or five hundred miles according to the footsteps, and it is not far from Yuzhu City, Luo Jiangshang's mood is better than one day, thinking that in another day, he can see his parents and family, and even his tone of voice is three points brisk.
However, people always encounter ups and downs when they are happy.
A group of mountain bandits, who did not know a few hundred people, surrounded the caravan.
The brothers of the Cutting Path thieves were fierce and murderous, and the knowledgeable businessmen and guards in the team all felt a trace of heavy pressure, and some of the civilians who were rushing with the convoy were already scared to pee, and a smell of urine swept the rear.
"Disarm or kill, if you resist, don't kill!"
The bandit leader held his strength and shouted loudly, and the sharp knife in his hand waved 'whirring', which was quite frightening to look at.
However, the guards of the caravan are not vegetarians, and these men who lick blood and beg for life are also iron-clad, and they are not scared by a word. Although the bandits outnumbered the guards several times over, none of them flinched.
The war is on the verge of breaking out.
'Ping Pong' soldiers and iron fights, and there are guards or mountain bandits who are cut in two at all times. As the number of guards dwindled, the caravan was already in a panic, and the civilians scattered and fled, but the fate was basically cut in two by the vicious bandits. At this time, there is no safer thing than to stay where you are.
Helplessly, it was finally the bandits with a large number of people who won, and the head of the guard fell unwillingly and never stood up again.
"Who else wants to resist?
The bandit leader slashed twice at the corpse of the leader of the guard, and the corpse was almost pulp.
"All of them will be escorted to the mountains, these goods will also be moved, the rest of the people will clean up the battlefield, the intact corpses will be moved back, and the others will be left here to feed the wolves, give me a quick action!"
The merchants in the caravan and the retinue of the servants, as well as two or three hundred people, were escorted by dozens of armed bandits, all of whom hurried forward in despair. There were dozens of mountain bandits in the back, all of them pushing carts, on which were the bodies of guards and bandits lying horizontally and vertically.
The smell of blood faded, and the howl of wolves gradually sounded.
Wolves, this animal knows how to seek advantages and avoid harm, on the battlefield just now, the weapons of the bandits are like meat grinders, no matter who appears, they will die. Now that the bandits have evacuated, the corpses all over the ground are the best feast for the wolves.
"Luo boy, do you think we are all going to be killed?"
A big man who worked with Luo Jiangshang in the same car for two days, his surname is Li Dan, his wife died of illness a few days ago, and there is only one daughter left in the family. He lowered his voice, and there was some reluctance, fear, and worry in his tone.
"My daughter is still waiting for me in Yuzhucheng, how can she live without me?"
Parents are always more concerned about their children, and when Luo Jiangshang thinks of his parents, he always feels a little ashamed of their upbringing.
"Don't be afraid, I'll get you out, let's go home together!"
The cottage is built on a high mountain, and the terrain is getting steeper, and the surrounding trees are becoming less and less vegetated. I don't know how many miles I climbed, the darker the color of the loess became, like a lifeless, lifeless ghost domain. Continuing to go up a few dozen meters, the ground turned black, not a single inch of grass was grown, and there was a trace of dead air coming out of the mud cracks, which looked very seeping.
"Luo boy, what are you talking about? ”
Not only Li Dan's heart was shocked, but Luo Jiangshang also felt a hint of threat.
can make Luo Jiangshang, who is already an immortal cultivator, feel scared, this cottage must have some ulterior secrets.
Luo Jiangshang drove the mana and felt the land under his feet with peace of mind.
There was a circle of spell waves rippling, and Luo Jiang was sure that someone here was constantly casting spells. This person has no cultivation at all, he is not a monk or a Taoist, and he is not like a cultivator, but he can cast a spell that affects the entire mountain, what is this person's ability?
Luo Jiangshang's mood was immediately heavy.
He thought that it was recorded in the "Returning to Tibetan Immortals" that in addition to the orthodox "Returning to Tibetan Immortals", there were also six side doors and three thousand left roads. And the surrounding environment is very much like the evil magic of the left path.
In a wooden cell filled with men and women, young and old, a space of more than a dozen square feet, thirty or forty people sitting or lying down, each with their faces almost touching each other. There are still some dry and hard excrement on the ground, and rats and cockroaches crawl past their feet from time to time, which shows that they don't want to stay here for long.
Everyone was silent, secretly weeping, sad and grieving, not knowing what fate awaited them?
With a bang, the big iron door of the stone cave was opened, and two evil men walked in.
The wicked man opened the nearest wooden worker by the door and took out a man and a woman from inside.
The two were a husband and wife with a pair of children. Seeing that her parents were taken away, the daughter kept crying, and the wicked man hacked the little girl to death with a knife. Seeing this, the younger brother pounced on the evil man and wanted to die together, but he was still killed by a knife.
Everyone shuddered, and the couple cried silently.
"This kind of child is not only troublesome, but also likes to look for death, and I don't know what the boss wants to keep them for, let me see, all of them are killed and eat meat, I haven't eaten human flesh since I was so old. ”
The two wicked men laughed 'haha', and one of them left with the male and female prisoners in one hand.
This happens every day, and every day two or three people are taken away and never come back.
The sound of the big iron gate sounded again, and everyone knew that another day had passed since the incident, and this group of bastards had come to arrest people again.
Luo Jiangshang and Li Dan are the only two people left in their cells, if there is no accident, Luo Jiangshang and Li Dan will definitely be taken away. Luo Jiangshang saw Li Dan trembling all over, obviously very scared. So he stretched out his hand to pull Li Dan up, only to feel that his palms were covered with cold sweat.
