Chapter 159: Another Encounter with Bandits
Wu Xiuwen and Shi Yun broke up with the "Phantom Bat King" and continued to go south, in the early morning of the third day, when they were checking out the inn, they suddenly heard a few idlers chatting outside the door, and what they said made Wu Xiuwen's heart move.
I only heard a thin man frowning and saying: "Now the way of the world has really changed, do you know? I saw a middle-aged scholar and a beautiful Taoist aunt entangled in confusion yesterday!"
"Hey, I thought you were going to say something mysteriously, so you said that Dao Gu! I also glanced at it from a distance, it was called a beautiful woman, we have never seen such a beautiful woman in this small place!" the other man admired in a tone that everyone knew.
"It's that her momentum is a little terrifying, those autumn water-like almond eyes, occasionally so cold that they sweep over you, people can't help but feel cold in their backs, just like the lone wolf I met on the mountain that time, which makes people scared from the bottom of their hearts......" The other person's expression was a little palpitating.
"Otherwise, that scholar, who looked very elegant, wouldn't have followed that beautiful Daoist aunt far away!" said another older man.
Wu Xiuwen's heart moved when he heard this: a middle-aged elegant scholar, and a beautiful girl like a flower girl. It can't be Zhu Ziliu and Li Mochou, right? With this thought, Wu Xiuwen immediately shook his head and said to himself: "Absolutely impossible!" "What is impossible?" Shi Yun heard Wu Xiuwen's muttering and came over and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking nonsense!" Wu Xiuwen replied casually, thinking again in his heart: it is impossible. It's strange that he doesn't fight you to the death! How could there be such a strange scene as those people said? There are many people with strange temperaments on the rivers and lakes. There are more people dressed in all kinds of strange clothes. Not to mention that it is not uncommon for aunts and scholars to dress up as scholars, it must be someone else. Thinking about it, Wu Xiuwen felt that this must be the case, so he put this matter aside and stopped thinking about it.
Wu Xiuwen quickly forgot about this episode, and continued to set off with Shi Yun, although the two of them chatted all the way and hurried, but the speed was not slow at all, except for resting and eating some dry food all the way until late at night, and the two did not deliberately calculate the distance. So it's not surprising that you missed the stay.
After having some dinner in a mountain temple found nearby, Shi Yunfei figured himself on the beam, silently lying on it like a tanuki, squinting his eyes and cultivating. Wu Xiuwen is no stranger to this, as long as he stays overnight in this kind of dilapidated temple or something, Shi Yun will most likely cultivate in this way, fortunately, if he practices in the house, Shi Yun will still sleep and rest on the bed normally, otherwise Wu Xiuwen is really a little difficult to accept!
Wu Xiuwen himself extinguished the bonfire and sat cross-legged in the shadow behind the dilapidated statue of the mountain god against the wall. Meditate and rest with your heart facing the sky. Wu Xiuwen's choice of such a position is both safe and secret, even if someone comes in and inadvertently, it is difficult to find Wu Xiuwen behind the statue of the mountain god. And Wu Xiuwen is meditating even in this case. It is also always vigilant, pay attention to the wind and grass in the outside world, and react immediately as long as there is a slight mistake. And he and Shi Yun echo each other from afar, which is even more foolproof.
The stars and moon rose high, and the stars were brilliant, and through the tiled window lattices, they poured into the dilapidated mountain temple, and no one was visible in the empty temple. When the time had passed, Wu Xiuwen in the shadow behind the statue of the mountain god suddenly opened his eyes, and after the essence light bloomed, he showed a trace of vigilance, and he could feel that the fortune on the beam of the house had also woken up.
After less than a stick of incense, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the temple, and there were twelve or three people, the footsteps came from far and near, and stopped at the gate of the temple, but they did not enter the temple immediately. ...
"Big brother, let's go into the temple and rest for a while!" The brothers have been running in a hurry for half the night, and they are all tired, so let's write for a while!" a rough male voice came.
"Yes, big brother, I haven't caught up for so long, there should be nothing left, the brothers really can't hold on, just rest for half an hour, just half an hour!" After a while, it seemed that the eldest brother didn't mean to speak, and another slightly clearer voice pleaded, and the others also spoke......
"Shut up for me! Aren't you usually quite energetic? Why can't you stand it after running so far away? If you hadn't kept your mouth shut, you would have provoked such a fatal disaster! I'm embarrassed to shout tired!" a majestic voice shouted, and the other people's chaotic voices immediately fell silent.
In the quiet and somewhat strange atmosphere, Fang Cai's clear voice opened his mouth again and whispered and pleaded: "Second brother, look at the eldest brother, ......" It seemed that this person with a clear voice still had some effect in speaking in this group of people, and after his pitiful voice, another unfamiliar voice sounded.
"Big brother, they're really tired, so let's rest for a while! since that demon can let us escape, he shouldn't bother to chase us down again. If the devil had made up his mind to take our lives, we wouldn't have had a chance to escape. This voice is very calm, there is no anger of the eldest brother, and there is no panic of other people, but the voice seems to be a little gloomy, which makes people very uncomfortable after listening to it.
The eldest brother seemed to attach great importance to the second brother's Jianyi, and after pondering for a while, he finally spoke: "Okay then! Let's go into the temple and rest for half an hour." Remember that it is only half an hour, and when the time comes, you will leave immediately, and whoever is carrying nonsense will not blame me for being merciless! Scar, leper, you take a few brothers to take turns to let go. ”
"Yes!Thank you, big brother!", "Long live big brother!" "Big brother is wise!"...... The others happily opened their mouths well, and then slammed, the temple door was kicked open with a hard kick, and more than a dozen people poured in Hulala, led by a big man, and the others waited to find a relatively clean place to sit down, and someone diligently handed over the wine bag and dried meat, it seems that this is the eldest brother who just spoke.
Sitting next to the eldest brother was a man dressed as a scholar, about thirty years old, also holding a folding fan in his hand, reminding him to be slightly thin, his eyes were as gloomy as a voice, and his thin lips were like a knife, he didn't seem to be a good-looking character, and after coming in, he looked around vigilantly, and even tested the temperature of Wu Xiuwen's bonfire, but it had been extinguished for a few hours, so he didn't find anything.
This second brother is a talented man, quite strategic, and very ruthless, and his kung fu is also one of the best among the crowd, and he is very valued by the eldest brother, and plays the role of a military advisor in their group. The brothers were very afraid of him, and even the eldest brother was polite to him.
The other one who sat closer to the eldest brother and the second brother was a young man in his early twenties, who looked three or four points similar to the eldest brother, but he was a lot thinner, as soon as he entered the door, he opened his mouth and instructed the other brothers to let him do this for a while, let him do that for a while, and turn the group under the command of several little brothers, and listen to the voice It was the clear voice that spoke just now, it seems that it should be the younger brother of the eldest brother, with the eldest brother and the second brother covering, he will also be a fox and a tiger, and others dare not give him face.
"You stinky boys listen to me, polish the tricks for me in the future, we are not afraid of those who can be provoked, and those who can't be provoked will hide far away, don't make trouble for the master. The eldest brother was still angry and scolded a group of brothers. ...
"That's it, that's it, you guys, all of them don't have long eyes, they usually have a big brother to take care of, and they are used to being lawless, do you think that beautiful Dao Gu is like those village girls and young ladies who usually look at the beautiful and rob them, and we can play if we want to play, and kill them if we want to? That Dao Gu is not a good stubble at first glance, you are a group of blind dogs, and you dare to provoke it? If it weren't for our big life today, we would have to explain it to that Dao Gu!" The clear voice began to teach others a lesson again.
There was a man in the corner who muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it that you look at that beautiful aunt and ask the brothers to get it back for you? Usually kidnap tickets, tear up tickets, and rob someone's big girl and little daughter-in-law, which time is not you the most active, every time you have a cheap one, you push it out with a little responsibility! Hmph! What a thing, isn't it the eldest brother's own brother......
Several brothers nearby nodded in agreement after hearing this, but one of them said in a low voice: "Say a few words, let him hear that he will find a chance to give you little shoes to wear, after all, it is the younger brother of the eldest brother, and the second brother is protecting him, and you will suffer when the time comes!"
After that, several people hurriedly shut up, hurriedly ate the dry food in their hands, it seems that they are usually bullied, and they dare not speak out; the eldest brother is far away, and he does not hear the discussion here, and continues to talk loudly, while the others sit in groups of three or five in groups, and all they say is some criminal deeds of burning, killing and looting, or some filthy words.
Wu Xiuwen behind the statue of the mountain god and the fortune on the beam of the house put everyone's conversation in their ears, it turned out that this was a group of bandits wandering around the area, and they were doing some roadblock robberies on weekdays, kidnapping tickets for extortion, robbing people and other evil things, it seems that today it was kicked to the iron plate before hurriedly escaping overnight, and only dared to rest for a while until they fled to the front of this mountain temple.
When Wu Xiuwen heard that they had done so many evil things that had lost their conscience, he was furious in his heart: When you meet Xiao Ye today, it is the heavens to open your eyes, let me send all the things that are inferior to your beasts to the eighteenth layer of hell to be punished today!
Wu Xiuwen was about to make a move, but he heard a few screams outside the temple...... (To be continued......)
