Ping'an said loudly: "Dao Chief, everyone is a man, if you want to kill me, you will dispose of it, I will do things by myself, but don't embarrass this woman and the villagers in the village." ”

The Taoist priest squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice: "If I don't agree, what can you be to me?"

Ping'an spread his hands and said honestly: "Seriously, I don't have any way, but I'm gambling, I'm betting that my long cultivation is profound, and I must have a great reputation in the world, and I definitely won't be as knowledgeable as a woman." ”

The Taoist priest smiled and said with interest: "It's a little interesting, you care about this woman's life very much?" Ping An nodded, looked at the woman beside him affectionately and said in a deep voice: "I care more than my own life." ”

The woman had already wiped away her tears, she understood that tears had no effect, she glanced at Ping An gently, and looked at the Taoist priest who was playing with the peach wood sword in her hand viciously.

When the Taoist priest heard Ping'an's answer, he sighed, "In that case, how fun it would be if you watched your beloved woman die little by little in front of your eyes, but you couldn't do anything about it." ”

As soon as the Taoist priest's voice fell, a flower appeared in front of Ping'an's eyes, and Narcissus had already appeared beside the Taoist priest, and he didn't see how the Taoist priest's hands moved, so Narcissus lifted his feet off the ground, covered his neck with both hands and coughed, as if he was choked by something.

The Red Bull finally moved, it looked up to the sky and roared angrily and began to run, jumped up two feet from the Taoist, and pounced towards the Taoist priest's face, when the Red Bull's phosphorus thorn was about to pierce the Taoist priest's face, the Red Bull seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell to the feet of the Taoist, the Taoist priest showed an appreciative expression, and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, it's a tiger cub full of aura, little guy, you wait a while, and when I solve your waste master, I will take you back to train and train well." ”

Ping'an's eyes were red, and he shouted hysterically: "Stinky Taoist, they all said that you are a man, why should you embarrass a woman." The Taoist priest pursed his lips and sighed: "I'm sorry you made a mistake again, we Taoists don't distinguish between men and women, so we don't have any scruples, and besides, you'd better not yell at me, otherwise your sister Narcissus will leave you first." ”

Ping'an's face was extremely ugly, he rubbed his cheeks, and said with anger: "Dao Chief, you let her go first, and I will promise you whatever you ask me to do." ”

The Taoist chief said with bad intentions: "It's good to know the current affairs so well, it's okay, it's rare to go down the mountain once to play with you, and I don't want to end it so soon." The Taoist waved his hand, and Narcissus fell to the ground, clutching his neck and gasping for air.

The Taoist pointed to the ground with his chin and said contemptuously, "Kneel down and crawl in front of me." ”

Narcissus's tears couldn't help flowing down again, crying and shaking his head, shouting: "Peace, don't, you leave me alone." ”

Ping An had long known that the Dao person would definitely make some inhuman requests, he lowered his head and took a deep breath, looked up at Narcissus and smiled gently, and said softly: "Sister, don't cry, I feel sorry if you cry." ”

The Taoist chief looked at him coldly, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, do you want this woman to taste some more hardships?"

At this time, the son of the village chief in the crowd couldn't stand it and came out angrily: "How can there be such a nonsensical Taoist priest as you, it really ruined the reputation of those chivalrous intestinal chiefs on Wudang Mountain, folks, we surround it, I don't believe that this fake Taoist priest dares to take so many of us." ”

The villagers of Dayu Village have long been resentful of that Dao people, but they are afraid of that Dao people's means that no one dares to come forward easily, and now the village chief's son has picked up the words, bullying our heroes in our village, and the resentment in the hearts of the villagers has all exploded, so many of us, do you really dare to kill us all? With this thought, the young and middle-aged people in the village surrounded the Dao people, and even the village chief's daughter-in-law, Xiaolian and some other women also stood up.

Although Narcissus is a widow, but in the village has a very good reputation, in the past, if Narcissus was bullied by scoundrels in other villages in the town market, more than half of the young and strong laborers in Dayu Village will take the guy to administer justice to Narcissus, for a long time, no one in the nearby villages dares to be bad at Narcissus, but this is not an ordinary brawl between villages, although the free Taoist priest behaved badly, but his cultivation was unfathomable, this time the village still wants to stand up for Narcissus and peace, I am afraid it is not so easy.

The Taoist sneered unabashedly: "The Taoist priest on Wudang Mountain is a fart, none of them can get on the stage, they know how to cultivate and do good all day long, look at the Taoist robe on my body, those wooden people can wear it? ”

Ping'an angrily shouted at the village chief's son: "What kind of chaos, you go back, that Taoist priest is ruthless, two people have fallen, I don't want anyone to be implicated because of me, if something happens to you, then my original intention will be meaningless." ”

The village chief's son did not understand the meaning of Ping'an's words. He winked at Ping'an, gave him a reassuring look, and kept walking.

The Taoist smiled and looked at the villagers coming towards him, and he didn't even stop some of the people who went back to the village to get the guys, he pulled a sword flower with the peach wood sword in his hand, and said with a calm expression: "Boy, are you still kneeling." ”

A man with five big and three rough eyes ignored so many villagers, and said angrily: "Stinky Taoist, if there is no one in our village, kneel and kneel, I kneel to you old mu!" The man threw a punch at the man, the strong fist was vigorous, the man was a well-known fighter in the village, many people had suffered in this man's fist, the man saw that the man did not dodge or dodge, the corner of his mouth sneered, and he was already thinking about the embarrassed appearance of the man who fell to the ground after this punch, and the village gave him a thumbs up at that time?

The Taoist motionless let the man's fist wave over, there was not even a trace of pity on his face, Ping An scolded secretly and wanted to rush over to stop the man when it was too late, the next moment, the man's body suddenly burst open, scattered pieces of meat and blood splashed everywhere, the villagers wiped the flesh and blood on their faces one by one, they were speechless in shock, and they all subconsciously retreated, the timid woman fainted on the spot, some children hurriedly covered the eyes of the children, and the slightly bold ones could only barely stand, and their faces were not good-looking。

Ping'an looked remorseful, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at the Taoist, who was cruel and bloody beyond his expectations.

The village chief was originally accompanying the white-haired old man at the back of the crowd, when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations and screams, and the crowd began to retreat, only then did he react, his body trembled, and he was about to come over to seek justice for the man, but the white-haired old man grabbed him and shook his head.

The village chief was not angry: "In broad daylight, he dares to kill people in public?"

The white-haired old man said flatly: "This person doesn't take the law seriously, either he has a confrontation in his heart, or he is a vicious person, and you can't reason with him." ”

The village chief was compassionate and compassionate: "Then let this Taoist priest harm the villagers?" The white-haired old man pointed to the peace that was beckoning the villagers to retreat, and sighed: "He alone can save our whole village." The village chief's voice was lowered, and he said helplessly: "This is a little unfair to that child, that Taoist priest deceives people too much, it really hurts that child." The white-haired old man didn't speak, and set his eyes on Ping'an.

Without the crowd blocking the view, I can see more clearly, the Taoist is still standing in place with a calm demeanor, and the narcissus next to him struggles but can't move a step, and Ping An is standing about ten steps away from the Taoist.

The Taoist shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "I really can't do it, I didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, but the people of your village are too stupid, it wasn't me who killed him, it was his own ignorance and recklessness." ”

The Taoist paused and continued: "Now I want to change the rules of the game, if you don't kneel down and beg me, I won't kill your sister Narcissus, but I can't guarantee what will happen to the children in the village, the adults are so ignorant of current affairs, and the children will definitely not be too smart when they grow up, and leave this world early, and save yourself from suffering another disaster in the future because of your own stupidity." ”

The Taoist priest grabbed the void, and a five-year-old child who was still in his mother's arms fell beside him a moment, and the child's mother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her heart and gall were broken, and she cried so much that she was about to rush up, and was pulled by the villagers on the side.

The child's mother fell to her knees, crying and begging for peace to do what the Taoist priest had asked, and seemed to forget that she was still holding her son for the last moment, and said, "Son, you have to remember that this is the benefactor of our village, and you have avenged your father by killing the python, and you will repay them when you grow up." After being stunned, the surrounding villagers were relieved that the child was not the most important thing in the mother's heart.

Ping An took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, words count, as long as I kneel down and crawl in front of you, you will let this child go." ”

The Taoist lowered his head and played with his fingers, without looking at the man in front of him, and said casually: "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me? You kneel down first, and what you do depends on my mood." The Taoist touched the child's hair, and his face was soft, and the child did not know whether he was frightened or strong, so he stared at the Taoist leader intently.

"I'll just kneel. Ping An lowered his head, couldn't see his expression clearly, his legs moved stiffly, and he slowly knelt down.

One by one, the villagers turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at them again.

The white-haired old man closed his eyes and said softly: "Only if you can endure what ordinary people can't endure, can you do what ordinary people can't." ”

Ping An crawled towards the Taoist step by step, each step on the ground will leave a deep palm print, it seems that Ping'an's mood is extremely complicated, Narcissus fell to the ground, looked at the crawling man stupidly, looked back at the Taoist priest's eyes and could not hide the hatred.

The Taoist priest didn't care about the woman's eyes at all, patted his palms interestingly, and smiled: "That's right, if you do this earlier, you won't die one less, and then climb faster." ”

Ping An crawled to the Taoist chief, and tried to stand up with both hands, but was kicked in the abdomen by the Taoist priest and lay on the ground again, the Taoist priest was dissatisfied: "I let you get up?"

Ping'an's body curled up like a shrimp, his face distorted, he endured the severe pain, raised his head and spat out the dirt on his mouth, Narcissus kept shaking his head, his lips were already oozing blood.

Ping An doesn't blame the big turtle that blames him, and he doesn't regret that he insisted on going to the river to cut the snake despite the dissuasion of Narcissus, the only thing he chases the most is that he can't do anything now, and he can't even protect the people he wants to protect.

The Taoist chief sighed: "Look at your infatuated little couple, I really can't bear to look at it again, boy, I promise you, I won't touch this woman after killing you, but if she can't stand the yin and yang separation, I can't help it if she rushes down to see you." ”

Ping An grinned at the Taoist priest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a radiant expression: "Let's do it." ”

Narcissus struggled to stand up and threw himself towards the Taoist, and after being dodged by the Taoist priest, a hand knife knocked the woman unconscious, the woman's body fell softly into the arms of the Taoist, and was thrown to the ground by the Taoist priest, the child ran towards the crowd, the Taoist priest really did not stop him, but squatted down and touched the hair of the Narcissus.

Ping'an grabbed the dirt on the ground and threw it at the Taoist, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't touch her." ”

The Taoist priest got up and walked slowly towards Ping'an, Ping'an raised his head and spat at the Taoist priest, and said angrily: "Come on, why don't you do it yet, hurry up." ”

The Taoist priest stood in front of Ping'an and looked at Ping'an condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Poor man, I won't let you die so happily, I will pick off your tendons first, and then tell you when your tendons are broken." The Taoist priest touched the wooden sword in his hand and said to himself: "This is a technical job, and the strength must be just right to fully appreciate the painful feeling." ”

The Taoist priest smiled gloomily, and was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves that resounded through the earth, and the first horse took the lead to leave the horse team, and the people who came shouted loudly: "Dao Chief, wait a minute." ”

The Taoist stopped his movements, looked at the comer with his head held high, and the first rider was a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure, wearing a gray gold silk suit, with a cold and cold unsheathed long sword across his waist, the man turned over and dismounted not far from the Taoist priest, and did not look at the surrounding people and a large pool of blood on the ground, but glanced at the huge python on the shore with some surprise, and looked at the peace on the ground, so he bent down and hugged his fists and said: " The last general has seen the great real person, and has long heard that there is a real person near the Guangling River who disdains Wudang Mountain to be in the company, and has found a unique way, and was rewarded by His Majesty the emperor with a yellow purple robe. ”

The Taoist was neither humble nor arrogant: "The general is a little embarrassed when he says this, I don't know why the general came this time?"

Dozens of war horses galloped immediately after, neatly parked behind the middle-aged man, and an ordinary carriage stopped with the team, the middle-aged man caught a glimpse of the carriage coming out of the corner of his eye, the middle-aged man's body straightened imperceptibly, and said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, this man on the ground can't be killed." ”

The Taoist glanced at the carriage not far away, intentionally or unintentionally, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said calmly: "Poor Dao wants to see how it can't be killed." ”

The middle-aged man looked around, took two steps forward and whispered a few words in the Taoist priest's ear, the Taoist's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Ping An in some surprise, and lowered his voice and said, "Really?" The middle-aged man nodded and affirmed: "The last general will not dare to deceive the Taoist chief, it must be true." ”

The Taoist showed a look of embarrassment, and hesitated: "Even if it is as you said, but I don't necessarily have to release people, after all..."The middle-aged man looked clear, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand, so that the face of the Taoist chief will be a little unbearable, but please rest assured, after a few days, this kid will be worthless, we will send him to your Taoist temple for you to dispose of, and the prince will also send generous gifts to the Taoist chief, so that we can have the best of both worlds, isn't it okay?"

Seeing that the Taoist priest was still a little hesitant, the middle-aged man came to Ping'an, grabbed his hair and slapped him twice in the face, and scolded in his mouth: "Let you dare to get along with a real person." ”

Ping An grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Taoist priest waved his hand and said coldly: "Forget it, you can take it away, but you can say that you can send this kid to me in two days." ”

The middle-aged man's face was happy, and he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Dao Chief." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, glanced deeply at Ping'an, and disappeared into a rainbow light.

Ping An looked in the direction of the carriage, he vaguely felt that the chief was in a hurry to leave here, and even forgot to bring the Red Bull and the Floating Light Sword that he had been envious of before, because of the person in the carriage, he couldn't help but be curious.

The village chief helped the white-haired old man over, and the village chief saluted the middle-aged man, and asked in a deep voice, "Dare to ask the general what he is going to do." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the village chief twice, and said softly: "The prince said, I have a meritorious contribution to your old man's house, and this time I will not be to blame for covering up the crimes of the dynasty, I hope the old man will not do such a foolish thing next time." ”

The village chief was puzzled: "Didn't you find the prisoner some time ago?"

The middle-aged man's voice raised a few points, and he said angrily: "That's just a trick for a few bastards under my command to play, the fat man surnamed Chen and Wang Shun you saw last time They have no heads now, and they are angry when they talk about it, even the prince has the courage to deceive." ”

The white-haired old man was silent for a long time, and finally spoke up: "Then I still bother the general to tell the old man what crime this young man has committed, and let you do your best so hard." ”

The middle-aged man snorted and said with a smile: "Well, I'm just acting on orders, I really don't know." ”

The village chief pointed to the shore where flesh and blood were flying, and said sadly: "General, that Taoist priest kills people in public in broad daylight, and you don't care. ”

The man's eyebrows rose and he said softly: "I still have military affairs under you, so I will leave." Then he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Come on, escort the prisoner back to me." ”

The villagers were already frightened by what happened just now, no one dared to stop the movement of this group of soldiers, the two soldiers pulled Ping'an up, Ping'an was locked in the carriage, he didn't know why these soldiers arrested him, but he knew that it was not a good thing, Ping'an did not struggle or resist, he just looked at the woman lying on the ground through the gap in the window of the carriage, and muttered something in his mouth.

Seeing the middle-aged man leaving the village, the villagers relaxed one by one, with complicated expressions, some walked back to the village in a trance, some villagers were angry and carried the guy to vent their grievances on the python on the shore, several women who were good friends with Narcissus ran towards Narcissus, and some knelt on the shore crying, most of them were the family members of the dead man.

The village chief called a few young men to clean up the shore, walked to the man's family and comforted him, and the man's old mother hugged the village chief's leg and cried: "Village chief, you have to be the master of my son, let's report to the official." ”

The village chief sighed, and couldn't bear to tell the old woman that it was useless to report to the official, and the government and the Taoist priest might have secretly colluded together, so he had to nod and comfort: "I will tell the government truthfully." The village chief walked up to the white-haired old man, showed a sad expression, and said blankly: "Uncle, so many things happened today, the little nephew is really a little confused, and I can't react until now." ”

The white-haired old man sighed, "I have doubts in my heart, why is it the same as you, but I have some guesses about the identity of that young man." The village chief sighed and asked, "Where did the young man come from?"

The white-haired old man groaned: "I remember that some time ago, you told me that Western Chu destroyed the country, and at that time I guessed that most of the young people were from Western Chu, but later the officers and soldiers found Qin prisoners in the lower reaches of the river, so I vetoed this idea, and now that I think about it, it feels a bit like it." ”

The village chief thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "The time and place are all consistent, and in order to catch this young man, they have made a lot of effort, if the uncle's guess is true, then this young man is by no means an ordinary Xichu people, and I guess it is the son of a prince." ”

The white-haired old man said abruptly: "No matter how prominent your background is, what can you do, if you fall into the hands of the Dashun Dynasty, you are afraid that you will suffer if you live." ”
