After stopping and watching for a while, Qiu Yan shook his head.

"The things in the city have nothing to do with me, or do it step by step, first calm the spirit of the eight realms, and then talk about it, besides, the master of the void path will come when he doesn't know when, and he must prepare early, but this time, since he was invited to help the fist, there was a vision in the eastern capital, and he was busy thinking about it. ”

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan turned around and left, heading towards the house and temple.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, and his face showed a hint ......of surprise: "Hmm, I didn't expect that in the land of the five swamps, there are actually people of Darui, who believe in me, but they have caused such a change!

..................

Yuan Shoufang stood on the fence of the stockade, clenching the bow and arrow in his hand, nervous to the extreme, but he calmed down his frightened thoughts, but his eyes were staring outside, not daring to relax for a moment.

Although the night is dark, under the light of the torches, you can still get a general view of the surrounding scene.

Their village has been surrounded!

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside—

"The people in the village listened, surrendered quickly, smashed the statue of the evil god, and welcomed the Buddha into their hearts! Otherwise, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the forest village!"

The person who spoke was full of anger, and the luck helped the voice, the words rolled in, spread all over the village, the men, women and children in the village, were already trembling, now as soon as they heard this, many women and children immediately cried, for a time the clouds of sorrow were all over the place, everyone's minds were swaying, faintly, the whole village was shrouded in decadent thoughts.

"Dad, you can't hesitate! Isn't it just a conversion to that Buddha? What is it? Which god to worship is not worshipped? First get through the current difficulties!"

Deep in the stockade, in a larger house, Zhang Xue was arguing with others.

Opposite him, sat a man with a bear's back, a pale face, blue eyes, and a cloth wrapped around his body. Blood stains could be seen on the cloth.

This person is the owner of this Fenglin Village, Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin's face was sad: "Is it as simple as you said? What is the Buddha's matter, I have heard it for a long time, many tribes in these five swamps have been converted, but this religion is very evil, obscene and filthy, almost no one and beast, and what is the saying of the five nectar, forged by the yin essence of feces and urine, and we are the descendants of the Heavenly Empire." How can you eat and drink urine, and walk like a beast?"

"I'll talk about these things later, if my father doesn't agree today, the village will be destroyed, how can there be a future?" Zhang Xue shook his head, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Speaking of which, it's all the bad things of the Yuan Shoufang, and after this person returns, what kind of stove is he preaching." I made an offering, but now that I think about it, maybe it is because of the worship of the stove that I annoyed the Buddha. That's the woe to you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin sighed, waved his hand and said, "I can't complain about this matter, even if he doesn't come back." Those swamp tribes who worship the Buddha will also call sooner or later, and I was negligent before. I thought that this Buddha was the same as the gods of the five swamps, whether to believe it or not, who knew that he actually forced people to take refuge......"

Having said that, it was difficult to dispel the resentment in Zhang Xue's heart, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when Yuan Shoufang came back.

..................

Fenglin Village, the village is like its name, although it is named because of Zhang Lin, but it is also located in the dense forest, adjacent to Jiuling Mountain.

This village is not in the territory of Darui, but on the south side of Jiuling Mountain, located in the land of five swamps, and the people are fierce.

Like many villages in Shanbei, the people of Fenglin are not as keen on raiding as the swamp people, but rather fish and hunt for a living, although sometimes they do some unprofitable business.

The woods around this Jiuling Mountain, many demons and beasts, every time the hunters of the forest village enter the forest, they also have to be frightened, fortunately, there are fewer people in Darui in the south of the mountain, the competition is not fierce, and you don't need to go too deep to have some gains, but it is inevitable that some people will occasionally fall.

However, this scenario began to change a month ago.

The change brought about by the Yuan Shoufang is the Yuan Shoufang.

Speaking of Yuan Shoufang, I have to mention his tortuous life experience.

Yuan Shoufang's father, is a desperate businessman, desperate to sell iron, was discovered by the border army, surrendered the convoy, and was hunted down, fled into the forest under the protection of the guards, but encountered a small group of swamp people, the guards died tragically, and he was seriously injured, fortunately, he was a little anxious, so he saved his life, stumbled and fled to Fenglin Village, Zuihou into the rich, married the daughter of Orion.

With such a background, Yuan Shoufang has been ridiculed and discriminated against since he was a child, but he is ruthless, and the more others laugh at him, the more he has to make a name for himself, and he took the initiative to enter the forest at a young age, and soon became a little famous.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, a few years ago, there was a caravan from the Central Plains passing by, which made Yuan's father moved, and within a few days, he abandoned his wife and children, and he didn't know where to go.

Yuan Shoufang was ordered by his mother and grandfather to go out to find his father, and this trip lasted for two years, and he did not return until a month ago.

After he came back this time, he immediately set off a storm in the village, and his martial arts soared, challenging the brave people in the village, and knocking them down one by one.

During this period, there were some provocations, counterattacks, twists and turns, and it didn't take long for Yuan Shoufang to challenge the first master of the young generation of Fenglinzhai -

This person is none other than Zhang Lin's son, Zhang Xue.

The discriminatory Yuan Shoufang and the high-ranking Zhang Xue, the fight between these two people is of course reverie, if any novelist knows, maybe they can compile tens of thousands of words.

The result of this battle was that Yuan Shoufang had a slight advantage, and then there was no drama of heroes sympathizing with each other, but Zhang Xue regarded Yuan Shoufang as a thorn in his side and picked thorns everywhere.

However, after this series of challenges, Yuan Shoufang's prestige in the village has increased greatly, and even has the voice of the next village owner, especially his low status and unpopularity, but now he has counterattacked and turned over, which is quite legendary, and has attracted the admiration of the younger generation in the village.

With this prestige, Yuan Shoufang told the origin of his own changes, it turned out that he couldn't find his father, and when he came back, in the north of the mountain, he went into the mountains with the hunters many times to hunt, and in the attack and defense with the beasts, he trained his eyesight, ear power and strength.

But this statement was exchanged for Zhang Xue's sneer-

"Joke! There are not only wild beasts in the mountains, but also demons, and the hunters do not dare to go deep into the mountains at all, at most they can learn some pheasants and hares? And you say that you have entered the mountains many times? There are demons devouring people, and it is rare to enter once a month, but according to your statement, it is too exaggerated to enter almost once every three days!"

In this regard, Yuan Shoufang gave such an answer: "Now all the villages in the north of the mountain worship the god of the stove, can keep the health and security, the hunters enter the forest, silently recite the stove, they will not be attacked by demons, but to fight with the beasts, but also rely on their own skills, I meet the people of the forest village are fierce, and can compete with the swamp people, but the swamp people are not as good as the mountain beasts after all." ”

At first, this was just a curiosity, but in the next few days, there were bits and pieces of news coming, which caused the villagers to be ready to move, try to set up a clay sculpture of the stove, and then try to enter the forest, and if they are not threatened by demons, they have been very happy.

Speaking of which, the villagers of this Fenglin Village, although they are also descendants of the Central Plains Miao, but they have moved to the south of Jiuling Mountain for a long time, and they have been contaminated with the habits of the swamp people.

Such days lasted for a month, and Fenglinzhai gained a lot, although it also lost a lot of manpower, but compared to the gains, it was nothing, and compared with the past, it was a world of difference.

In this way, although Zhang Xue was full of hostility towards Yuan Shoufang, he could not prevent the other party's prestige from rising, and even Zhang Xue's father, Zhang Lin, appreciated Yuan Shoufang more and more.

Who knew that disaster would fall from heaven.

Today, Zhang Lin led the villagers into the mountains again, but was ambushed, a desperate killing, although Zhang Lin escaped, but the other villagers were all murdered.

The sneak attack came suddenly, without the slightest warning in advance, the other party was obviously prepared, ambushed on the road of Zhang Lin and others, if it were not for Zhang Lin's skills, it was inevitable that the whole army would be annihilated, and the other party would return to the division to attack the village, and the village was leaderless, and the fate of the village could be imagined.

Not long after Zhang Lin returned to the village, the villagers who were out of the village ran back in twos and threes, all of them were embarrassed, many people were injured, and brought news one by one.

"There are a large number of swamp people sweeping around, and there are more than a dozen of us in our group, and only the two of us have escaped!"

"If I hadn't pretended to be dead and escaped, I wouldn't have even reported the news!"

"I waited until I saw that the situation was not good, and I came back immediately. ”

Regardless of whether these news reveal bravery, fear, or timidity, after summing up, a serious problem is placed in front of Zhang Lin.

Fenglinzhai has been besieged by Tuantuan, and many living liliang have been wiped out.

You must know that in this dangerous place, most of the people who dare to go out during the day are young and middle-aged, such people are the main combat force of the village, and now they are suddenly swept away, and the consequences are not just a few deaths, but the force of Fenglin Village is weakened in the eyes.

"What is the purpose of these swamps, and why are they suddenly joining forces?"

After living in Shannan Marsh Forest for so long, Fenglin Village is no stranger to the Marsh people, there is a lot of information about them, and they have fought many times before, no matter whether they win or lose, the village has survived, although this time the matter is sudden, but after a little summary, Zhang Lin realized that it was not one tribe that shot, but multiple tribes joining forces.

This made him feel puzzled, you know, the swamp people are not united with each other, and they attack each other from time to time, and they have even been used and provoked by Zhang Lin, but like today, it is not common for several tribes to join forces.

Moreover, judging from what happened, it is obvious that the swamp people have unified command, first ambush, then sweep, zuihou siege, there is already a military atmosphere, from any point of view, it is by no means simple!

"Could it be that they know that we have hunted a lot and want to rob it? ”

Zhang Lin's doubts didn't last long, and when night fell, the other party finally revealed his true purpose-

made such a big formation, in order to let Fenglinzhai take refuge in the Buddha!

This is why Zhang Lin, Zhang Xue's father and son quarreled. (To be continued......)
