Chapter 381: In the Cave
"It seems that I was treated as a fat fish by this man. Ding Qi thought with some amusement in his heart, and looked at the scar man.
Like Ding Qi, at first glance, he is a person with some fine skin and tender meat, so he naturally tied it up and got a ransom.
The scar man looked at Ding Qi and laughed: "Who are you?" โ
But before Ding Qi could say anything, the middle-aged man who was familiar with Ding Qi hurriedly said with a smile: "If you go back to the official master, this is a distant relative of our family." โ
The middle-aged man then faintly pulled Ding Qi into the back of the crowd.
Lieutenant Scar obviously didn't believe the middle-aged man's words, but he just laughed dryly twice.
Anyway, as long as he finishes his business, this fat fish is not kneading as much as he wants.
"Although there is no oil and water in this village, these dozen little ladies are quite good. Brothers, take them away, it is estimated that they can be sold for a lot of money. The man with the scar commanded to the man behind him.
Behind him, dozens of rogue soldiers, who were used to doing such things, heard the scar man speak, and there was a burst of obscene laughter mixed with anger.
More than a dozen men armed with swords wanted to take away the ten young women.
Being plundered by this pair of rogue soldiers is acceptable to these villagers, but the female relatives of the family will be taken captive, even if these more than 100 people are just ordinary mountain people, they will not be restrained.
Many villagers have already taken out iron blades, iron hooks and other farm tools, and many others are holding a kitchen knife in their hands.
These more than 100 villagers are not unprepared.
More than 100 people immediately rebelled.
However, where are they the opponents of these fierce stray soldiers, these people see that the villagers here actually dare to resist, and the hideous meaning on their faces is even more obvious.
Slaughtering villages and destroying villages is as simple as drinking water for them, and this time it is just one more stroke.
Ding Qi saw this, and there was no expression on his face.
I saw Ding Qi's hand tremble slightly, and the invisible air around him surged towards Ding Qi's hand. Condensed into more than a dozen gas needles.
Then, these gas needles flew towards the dozen or so people who were doing it.
The swords that those people had just raised were instantly broken by these more than a dozen qi needles, and they did not enter the center of these people's eyebrows.
Silently, more than a dozen people died in an instant, and from the thin hole in the center of the eyebrows, a pool of blood flowed out, and soon filled the ground.
Almost all of them don't know what's going on.
"What's going on. The group of rebels looked at the more than a dozen people who had died in horror.
At the same time, they immediately talked to this group of strange villagers. Pulled away for a distance. looked at the more than 100 villagers with a frightened face.
However, the big man with the scar, worthy of being the leader of this group of rebels, was the first to discover the problem.
"It's you. Scarface looked at Ding Qi with a shocked expression.
Then, the man hurriedly drank to the people behind him: "Brothers, it was this man who made trouble and slaughtered this kid." Beware of the hidden weapons on this man's body. โ
More than a dozen people died just now, and the captain who took the lead thought that it was a powerful secret weapon on Ding Qi's body.
After the fear of the unknown dissipated, these were full of anger. Those who have been killed for a long time also reacted quickly. Although they learned that Ding Qi had a powerful secret weapon on his body, they were extremely wary of Ding Qi, but at least they knew the foundation and reliance of the person they were facing. Let them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boy, I originally wanted to spare your life after exchanging the ransom. But since you are so ignorant, let me die here. The man in charge said so. However, he watched Ding Qi's every move with great vigilance.
He was afraid that Ding Qi's secret weapon would strike again.
And in the distance, several people had military crossbow arrows on their bodies all the time. Already ready to fly.
He smiled at the man's actions, and then looked at the group of rebels and the men with crossbow arrows.
Then, the ball of air in Ding Qi's hand was divided into dozens of strands, shooting towards the eyebrows of these people.
By this time, these people had finally figured out how Ding Qifang had killed the more than ten people.
However, they felt very strange about this situation, and it was obviously not a secret weapon or anything like that.
Regarding the strange thing that happened in Ding Qi's hands, the few people with crossbow arrows were the first to be stimulated, and immediately let go of their moots, and the crossbow arrows shot towards Ding Volley, who was close at hand.
With the long needle of transparent air, the first time it penetrated into the scar-faced man's eyebrows and the sharp pain that instantly drilled his heart, this person immediately remembered the death of more than ten people before.
"It turns out that this person is a master of the inner family!" With this person's knowledge, he remembered all kinds of unbelievable rumors that he had heard about the masters of the inner family.
He regarded Ding Qi's method of condensing qi into reality as the rumored internal strength of the master of the inner family.
In the hands of such a master, he already understood that his group was not fortunate at all.
"Although the military crossbow arrow will kill this person, at least it can inflict heavy damage on this person. After all, this person is so young, and his internal qi should not be too deep. โ
He saw the military crossbow arrows, with the sound of breaking through the air, and was already only a foot away from this person.
Such military crossbow arrows, even if a strong ox is fired at such close range, will be pierced through it. Even if you are a martial arts master, if you want to resist, you have to pay a price.
But this is also the last thought that rises in this person's mind.
With the long needle of air, it penetrated into this person's brain and stirred slightly, and this person was completely killed.
The rest of the rogue soldiers are also like this.
And the three crossbows that could at least be shot at Ding Qi seriously when they touched Ding Qi's skin in Scar's mind, were crushed by the terrifying force, and turned into powder little by little from the metal arrow.
Naturally, it is impossible to have the slightest effect on Ding Qi.
These stray soldiers, from the very beginning of preparing to start, robbed the female dependents until they were all killed by Ding Qi, it was only a breath, and the time was extremely short.
Originally, the villagers who wanted to resist desperately were stunned at this time.
For these dozens of fierce soldiers, they died instantly, and they couldn't react at all.
But when everyone reacted, they all looked at Ding Qi with strange eyes.
For Ding Qi to kill these soldiers so lightly, they didn't know what to say to Ding Qi for a while.
There was a moment of silence, and finally an old man came out of the crowd.
This group of villagers was able to organize a resistance in the face of dozens of fierce bandits, and Ding Qi heard from the people who had gathered before that it was the old man in front of him. Arrangements made in the past to deal with similar situations.
This white-haired old man, I heard that he used to teach outside, and he has seen some of the world.
"Your Excellency, is it a person from the martial arts? The white-haired old man said hesitantly in front of Ding Qi.
Ding Qi smiled: "Sort of." โ
The old man understood, and looked at Ding Qi with some awe: "When the old man was outside before, he also saw some people in the rivers and lakes. Listening to what they said, once martial arts are practiced to a high level, they have incredible abilities. You can fight one against hundred. In the past, I thought it was just an exaggeration. However, when I saw Your Excellency today, I realized that it was not groundless. This time, I am really grateful for the grace of Engong for saving his life. Otherwise, in the face of such a chaotic army, it will be difficult for us to save our lives at all. โ
This old man seems to have a great prestige in this village. Hearing what the old man just said, rivers and lakes, martial arts and the like. They don't know much about it though.
But under the old man's explanation, the look of fear for Ding Qi quickly disappeared.
They showed their gratitude to Ding Qi for saving his life.
"Since all these rebels here have died. Ding wants to visit Wรจn's deceased. I've already moved out of here, so I won't bother much. โ
Soon after, Tincchi was ready to take his leave.
Before leaving, though. Ding Qi said: "Listening to what you said, there are often wandering troops passing by here. Ding felt that this place was so dangerous. You'd better move out of here. โ
Ding Qi looked at the rebels who had died dozens of times and said, "These people have a lot of silver taels and property. Coupled with these horses, I think it should be enough for you to migrate. โ
When these villagers heard that Ding Qi did not want to collect the belongings of these dead soldiers, all of them had happy expressions on their faces.
"Thank you so much. The old man's face was delighted, and he spoke first.
These people were all killed by Ding Qi, and the property and the like undoubtedly wanted Ding Qi to call the shots.
Then, the old man continued: "In fact, before this incident, the old man discussed with everyone in the village that he would move out of this place collectively, but he didn't have time to do it yet. Now with this generous gift from the Grace Father, we can quickly move out of this place that is often affected by military disasters. โ
Since this is the case, then Ding will leave. Ding Qi finally said.
As Ding Qi's figure faded away, the villagers collected a kind of belongings carried by the dozens of rebels who got up and died.
"As Engong said, these people have a lot of money on them. In this way, we can move out of this place as quickly as possible. After more than 100 villagers hurriedly sorted out all their belongings, someone sighed.
During this period, with the command of that knowledgeable old man, there was not much chaos between the actions of these villagers.
"Brother Zhao, this Engong seems to be the first to appear near your house. Do you know what the origin of Engong is? A village woman, after sorting out her belongings, asked curiously to the man who had pulled Ding Qi here.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "In my life, I have never been out of this Xiang County." How can such a high-ranking person know the origin? There were only people who appeared at Li Er's house next door, so they went to check before and met Engong. โ
However, not long after the village woman left, the middle-aged man seemed to remember something again.
Speaking of which, this Engong is really a little familiar, and it seems that he has really seen it somewhere. โ
But when he wanted to think about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he saw Ding Qi again.
When it was getting late, after the property left by these dozens of soldiers was evenly divided, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao also returned home with his wife and children.
However, as soon as he stepped into the door, the middle-aged man was stunned in front of the door.
A book and a jade bottle appeared on the table not far away.
In addition, there are two 100-year-old ginseng plants, which are placed on the table.
A flash of light flashed through his mind at this time.
"It's the man, it's the same man twenty years ago. The middle-aged man muttered to himself as if he had lost his soul.
The son of the man surnamed Zhao was curiously holding the book at this time.
This young man is similar to the middle-aged man Ding Qi saw twenty years ago, and his expression is exactly the same as that of the middle-aged man surnamed Zhuo who was still a child, which gives people a lively and clever feeling.
This young man also recognizes the words. After flipping through the book in his hand, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Dad, this is the martial arts cheats and elixir left by Engong. The child exclaimed excitedly.
It was only at this time that Zhuo Zhaoxing returned to his senses.
He turned this book, saw the simple message on it, and after a long time, he carefully put away the book and the jade bottle on the table.
"Dad, according to what Engong said, after I practice this thing, will I become as powerful as Engong? The young man said with excitement in his eyes.
Zhao Xing's face showed a look of nostalgia: "Well, it will definitely be possible." Maybe later. You can live forever. โ
He remembered that in his memory, Ding Qi's face had been the same for twenty years, but he muttered to himself.
This made the boy look at his father strangely, not knowing what he meant.
......
"I don't know, the boy surnamed Zhao can grow up. Ding Qi walked down the road and shook his head with a smile.
At this time, Ding Qi was already quite far away from the village.
He didn't use any spells now, though. But between strides and runs, in terms of footsteps alone, it is no worse than ordinary horses. If not, Ding Qi intends to be fine. If he left the Xia Kingdom twenty years ago, the road he traveled would be faster if he walked it again.
When I met Zhao Xing's middle-aged man. In Ding Qi's consciousness, he found the young man.
From this young man, Ding Qi seemed to see. Twenty years ago, Zhao Xing looked like a middle-aged man when he was young. The same liveliness, the same cleverness.
When the young man in the back of the village saw Ding Qi make a move and kill the rebels in an instant, Ding Qi also saw the burning and yearning eyes of this young man very clearly.
In this short contact, Ding Qi had a good impression of the Zhao family, so he gave the Zhao family a book of martial arts secrets obtained in the Xia Kingdom in the early years.
In addition, a bottle was included, a little bit of the elixir he had refined twenty years ago, and he had cultivated his inner strength.
However, if you want to say immortality to the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao, it is naturally impossible. After all, what Ding Qi sent was a martial arts cheat, and the young Ding Qi had also explored it, but there was no spiritual sea.
In the next few days, Ding Qi rushed to Jingzhou step by step according to the route he had taken to leave Xia Kingdom, and continued to precipitate his mood during this period.
His mind became more mellow and clear, and the ethereal state of mind barrier of the Zhuji Monk became clearer little by little like a puzzle.
At the same time, along the way, Ding Qi also changed his appearance slightly, looking like a down-and-out scholar in his thirties.
He has been out for more than 20 years, and according to common sense, even if he has martial arts, his appearance cannot be the same as 20 years ago.
Around Qixia Mountain, where Ding Qi was going to, there were also people who knew Ding Qi. He didn't want people to feel weird about him.
On this day, Dingqi Road was hit by heavy rain.
At this time, it was already late autumn, Ding Qi raised his head, the cold rain fell from the sky, Ding Qi thought for a moment, and walked towards a place in the mountains and forests.
Ding Qi was not willing to use the means of an immortal cultivator to rush through the path of his state of mind this time, so as not to destroy his state of mind, and he had already made preparations for traveling thousands of miles according to ordinary people.
On such a rainy night, Ding Qi also planned to take shelter for the time being like ordinary people.
"I remember there was a very large cave near here. Ding Qi thought to himself.
When he went out to travel the world, he was looking for traces of immortal cultivators. For some trade routes, there is a lot to know about the places where the mountain roads temporarily shelter from the wind and rain.
These are all pieces of information summarized by people who often walk in the rivers and lakes.
It was summed up by people and sold to people in the rivers and lakes.
When Tin Qi entered the cave, there were already people inside.
An old man lit a fire and sat silently in a corner of the cave. Beside the old man, there were two containers on the shoulder, which seemed to be the footmen who took shelter from the rain.
Seeing that his clothes were all dry, he should have settled here before the rainstorm came.
In this cave, in addition to being lit by fire, there are some flat stone floors in various parts of the cave, which have been specially sorted out. Looking at this pole flat ground, it has gone through many years, and I don't know when it was built.
It is estimated that in the past, people who walked the barren mountains and roads and often stayed here built it for rest.
"Uncle, I'm really disturbed. Ding Qi came in and said to the man.
When the man saw someone coming in, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, after seeing Ding Qi on his body, there was no trace of rain, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
After all, it was raining heavily outside the cave, but Ding Qi was not wet at all, which was really weird.
However, although the old man was surprised, the expression on his face instantly returned to normal, as if he did not notice the strangeness on Ding Qi's body: "Oh!"
He replied simply, and sat quietly in the fire again.
This man seems to be a man of few words.
Ding Qi didn't care about this, so he found a place everywhere and sat down.
A quarter of an hour later, just as Ding Qi was squinting his eyes and meditating quietly, there was a sound of Sisoka outside.
A man and a woman entered the cave from the torrential rain.
The two of them took their umbrellas, saw that there were already Ding Qi and the old man in the cave, and after saying hello, they also found a place to sit down.
The cave is quite wide, but there is no place to sit.
Although the upper body of the two was not caught in the rain, the lower body was already wet.
The two people who came in, from the simple conversation, should be a pair of brothers and sisters. Both of them carry a long sword, and they are undoubtedly people from the rivers and lakes.
Both siblings seem to be under twenty years old, and the woman is two years younger than her brother. (To be continued......)
