Chapter 28: Encountering horse bandits on the road and killing people to save others. Treasures were found in the stone village.

In the Northern Territory, the reddish-brown land stretches as far as the eye can see. There is no vegetation, no water sources, just openness and silence. There are countless sources of minerals here. For countless years, major holy places and aristocratic families have controlled the sources of the Northern Territory.

The mine brings countless wealth and resources to his family and sect.

It has been more than a month since Li Qiye teleported to the Northern Territory through the Taixuan Gate. This month he has been rushing towards Zishan. Originally, he did not know where Zishan was, but he encountered many people along the way.

The bandits prevented him from running around like a headless fly.

Bandits are rampant here, and they are supported by sects and big bandits, so they are very unscrupulous and want to rob the monks who come here.

And he has already encountered several groups of bandits like this. They are not very advanced, and the highest one is the other side. They can't survive even one encounter in front of him and they will be wiped out.

And today he encountered another wave of bandits, a group of bandits on horses, which were actually heading towards him. The horses had sacks tied tightly with hemp ropes, highlighting the outline of a human figure.

It seems that this group of horse bandits had robbed nearby villagers before.

At this time, one of the tall men, with a full beard and a scar at the corner of his eye, was sitting on a horse looking down at Li Qiye. He seemed to be the leader of this group of horse bandits. He saw a ferocious smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes.

The scars became more horrific.

He asked with a sinister smile, "Boy, hand over all the treasures you have on your body, and then lie down on the ground and don't move. Maybe I will spare your life."

Li Qiye put his hands behind his back and looked at him indifferently, "I don't like to look up at others, it makes me very uncomfortable."

The horse bandit was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "This is the Northern Territory, where strength is the order and the rules. You are uncomfortable because you are too weak. You are so weak that you can only look up to me. I..."

"boom!"

The horse bandit who was talking was hit by a divine light and his head exploded. His brains and blood splattered everywhere. Except for Li Qiye, the faces and bodies of the other horse bandits who were close to him were covered in flesh and blood, leaving them speechless for a moment.

They reacted. Then their faces showed expressions of horror. Knowing that they were in big trouble this time, they all started to run away.

"What a shame! How did you survive until now when you have no eyesight at all?"

Looking at the people running away, he sneered, "You are still trying to escape in front of me!" I saw that the space within a radius of fifty meters suddenly became distorted, and the terrain shifted.

The horse bandits who were still running suddenly found that something was wrong the more they ran. The distance that should have been farther seemed to become shorter. Moreover, they saw the man who killed their boss in front of him. He wanted to change direction, but it was in vain.

No matter how you change direction, you will get closer to that man.

Then he discovered that his body was decaying and turning into ashes. It seemed that his body had been exposed to wind and sun for hundreds or thousands of years. In the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.

The bags that were tied immediately turned into dust, revealing the people inside. They were all young women. At this time, they all looked around in horror and confusion, and then looked at him again, with a trace of anticipation in their eyes.

He said hopefully, "Benefactor, was it you who saved us?"

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry. I have killed those horse bandits. You can go home without worries."

Upon hearing this, the group of women all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, grateful for his life-saving grace. Li Qiye quickly raised his hand, and they all stood up. They felt incredible and thought that this was an immortal trick.

At this time, Li Qiye said to them, "No need to be grateful, I just did it casually. By the way, do you know how far it is from Zishan?"

"Benefactor, are you going to Zishan?" one of the older women said.

Li Qiye nodded.

"Our village is at the foot of Zishan Mountain. Since my benefactor is going to Zishan Mountain, he happens to be on the way, so he might as well follow us. Although we are tied in bags and we don't know how far we have run, we live here all year round and can be found easily.

direction."

When Li Qiye heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought that now he no longer had to ask the horse bandits for directions. He had killed a lot of horse bandits during this period, but sometimes he forgot to ask them where Zishan was after killing them, so he wasted some time.

.

Then he followed a group of women walking. They had lived in the Northern Territory all year round and were familiar with the mountains and landforms here, so it was not difficult to find the direction back. In addition, there were horse footprints on the ground, making the search much easier.

It took him half a day to finally find the direction. However, there were so many people that he couldn't fly them there, so he could only walk to Zishan. He had to take care of these women along the way, so the journey was very slow. It took more than three days to finally get there.

Arrive at Zishan.

Along the way, he wiped out many horse bandit strongholds, some of which were provided by certain women, and some things he obtained from the mouths of bandits. It can be said that almost all the horse bandits nearby were killed, which can be regarded as helping them reduce the number of horse bandits.

potential crisis in the village.

"Benefactor, our village is ahead. We have lived here for generations!" The women were very excited, and their cries alarmed the people in the village. Some people were very excited when they saw them, and someone quickly ran over and pulled them away.

They asked, and some people called the village chief to come over.

Soon an old man with a gray beard and a stooped body came over. After hearing the women's answers, he kowtowed and thanked Li Qiye.

Li Qiye quickly stopped him and said, "Old man, please don't do this. I can't afford this gift from you! They have also seen that those horse bandits are ferocious and cruel. They bully mortals just because they have some cultivation. They should be killed."

Don't do this."

"You saved them. This is a kindness. It's a pity that we have nothing to repay you. I'm really ashamed." The old man said with a look of shame on his face.

Li Qiye waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, after all, they helped me. I got up this time to go to Zishan, and they happened to say that you are at the foot of Zishan, which saved me a lot of effort. There is no need to give

What repayment."

When the old man heard this, he said anxiously, "My benefactor, you are going to that magic mountain! You can't go! That mountain is so terrifying that many people have never come out again after going in. Two of my ancestors, Zeng Jin, also went in."

, I haven’t come out since. It’s an ominous place, there is death but no life, so don’t take risks.”

Li Qiye heard that two of the old man's ancestors had gone in, and thought that he might be the descendant of Master Yuan Tian. It was really possible.

Then he pretended to be confused and asked, "Why do you say that? I think the Purple Mountain is tall and majestic. It doesn't look like an ominous place."

After hearing his question, the old man took a deep breath in a low voice, and then talked about the past events of his ancestors.

His ancestors had a Yuantian Master, who was called Zhang Tianshi because of his surname Zhang. With his ability to find sources and pulses, he also created a great reputation in Beidou and was regarded as a guest by countless sects in the Holy Land.

He also made the saints of the Yaochi Holy Land fall in love with him, and it can be said that he was in the limelight for a while.

It's just that his ancestor never came out again in order to explore Zishan. Five hundred years ago, another of his ancestors wanted to explore the footprints of the ancestor of Yuan Tianshi and bring back his bones. Unfortunately, he only learned a little bit about Yuan Shu.

, and never came out again.

After hearing this, Li Qiye was certain in his heart that the old man was a descendant of Master Yuan Tian. In the original work, Master Yuan Tian died in his later years due to his practice of the Yuan Tian Sutra, and he also left a lot of memories in the village before he left.

treasure.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but shine a little. This is a good thing. He is most in need of treasures at the moment. If he takes out all the legacy left by Master Yuan Tian in the village, he may be able to increase his strength to a certain extent.

After thinking about it, he said to the old man, "Old man, I heard that Yuan Tianshi has the ability to find the source and detect the pulse. There was a Yuan Tianshi in your ancestor. I guess you should have left behind Yuan Tianshi's methods and some treasures. How could this be?

Has it fallen to this point?”

Hearing this, the old man also smiled bitterly, "It's not the ancestors' fault, it's all the fault of the descendants who failed to live up to expectations. They couldn't learn the Yuantian Divine Technique and could only learn a superficial skill. Five hundred years ago, the second ancestor took the "Yuantian Sutra" in order to enter Zishan.

After being brought in, our lineage left even fewer teachings, and I still have nothing left in my hands.

As for the treasures, we have lived here for generations and have not found any treasures left by our ancestors. Maybe we, the unfilial descendants, are not good at learning and cannot find them."

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Since you are here, why not show me around? Maybe I can help you find the treasure?"

When the old man heard this, he didn't say anything and smiled and said, "Okay, I will show you around. If there is a treasure, you can take it. You have saved the lives of people in our village, eliminated the horse bandits around here, and some

No treasure is enough to repay your kindness."

Li Qiye said, "Don't get me wrong, old man. I am indeed interested in your ancestors' treasures. If there is anything I really need, I won't take it for nothing. I will exchange it with you. You can keep what you don't need."

The old man shook his head, "No, we are just mortals. If we really want treasures, it will be of no use to us. Instead, it will bring disaster. You don't have to worry about it."

Li Qiye didn't say anything. He didn't want to take it for free, but there were indeed some things in it that he could use, such as the divine source, the Human Yuan Fruit, and the stone gall that can awaken the eye of the original god.

After walking around the village, he also discovered the treasures hidden in stone mills and stone mills. He told the old man, and the old man asked people to take away the stone mills, stone mills and stone benches left by his ancestors.

come out.

Although most of them are empty, and some have red hair, which is scary to see, some of the stone tools still contain treasures, including the fist-sized divine source, human yuan fruit, and stone gallbladder that he needs.

There were also two petrified elixirs of immortality that seemed to be dead, but Li Qiye still kept them, purely because the thief would not leave them empty-handed.

After doing this, Li Qiye took out the pure water bucket he had placed for a long time from the system space, which contained the holy spring he had obtained in the ancient forbidden land.

He asked the villagers to bring a large vat and pour water into it. When he saw that there was enough water for the villagers to drink together, he poured nearly one-fifth of the holy spring in the vat into the vat.

Drinking these can not only prolong their lifespan, but also improve their aptitudes, maybe they can start practicing, and it can also be regarded as the cause and effect of him taking the treasure.

Then he said to the old man, "Old man, my trip is to Zishan. No matter whether it is dangerous or not, I will go there, so I won't stay any longer. If you drink the water in this tank, you can prolong your life and improve your qualifications."

When the old man heard this, he shook his head helplessly. He knew that he could not be persuaded, so he said, "Wait a moment, I will get you something."

After a while, he came back with a stone box. When he opened it, he saw that it was a piece of clothing made of stone skin. He knew what it was. The old man gave it to him and told him that wearing this could avoid some dangers in the purple mountain.

This is what his ancestors told him. Let him put it on and go in, being extremely careful.
