Gu Xizhi was killed, Luo Guanyu was beheaded, Yu Daoguang disappeared... the five leaders of the Cang Pirates were all beheaded in two conflicts.
Then, the remaining thieves surrendered?
More than 30 Cang pirates were killed, dozens of them were killed, and nearly 20 more were killed. With such a fighting force, if they were united, they would be able to escape collectively by breaking out, but they chose to surrender without shame.
It's unexpected, but it's also reasonable.
This is the fundamental nature of the pirates. They lack faith, have no strict organizational structure, and have no unified moral constraints. They have no national territory and no sense of identity as a division. When a huge blow is coming and they cannot withstand it, surrendering now is pointless.
strangeness.
It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the monks have a very keen grasp of the situation. They know that the Cang pirates are finished. The destruction of several bandit leaders has taken away the spiritual support of the bandit group, and there is no need to continue to persist.
In the spiritual practice circle, there is no tradition of massacring surrendered enemies, because practitioners have too many control methods, and they can always be used to their own advantage in some aspect, so why do they need to commit more crimes?
The key is that killing prisoners once will make everyone go all out against Quanzhen Sword Cultivator without leaving any room, which is not a good thing for the development of the sect.
Hou Zi was a little regretful because he didn't see the peak showdown between Duanmu Qi and Yu Daoguang. This poster god is really strong. As the two top figures in the three realms of Tongtian outside the sea, there are not many such opportunities. It's a pity.
, the situation forced him to watch from the sidelines.
The tour group was finally leaving this time, feeling satisfied and high-spirited; the Takeshima Incident started awkwardly and went very hard, but the result was unexpectedly good, leaving a great mark on their study trip.
Capital worthy of bragging.
The sword cultivator in the tour group also changed from rejection to, um, understandable?
Although people are very cunning and use them as bait to hide behind and sneak around, at least they can make peace with others when they cause trouble. There are not many people in the spiritual world who can do this.
Most people get into trouble and leave.
This is also the overall view of other orthodox traditions on the Shanmen Sword Cultivator in mainland China. They are not liked by others and do things their own way without caring about the feelings of others. However, when something really goes wrong, they are still a trustworthy orthodox tradition.
It is impossible to be like-minded, but we can occasionally cooperate.
Lao Cai came to say goodbye, "Hang Island Master, Crab Claw Island is not on my route, so I am a bit ignorant. Fortunately, you are the one who changed the tour group, otherwise I don't know what would have happened..."
Hou Ting smiled half-heartedly, "Not necessarily? Without me, maybe nothing would have happened. How could you two continue your tour leading career in peace and contentment?"
Lao Cai laughed dryly, "How can it be that easy? Once we collided with the bandits, everything was out of our control. This may not be the best outcome, but at least it is not the worst outcome. For these people with righteous thoughts,
So, it should still be acceptable?"
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Why, are you going back to the mirage now?"
Lao Cai shook his head, "No, they asked to continue the rest of the trip. As for us, this is our last guide anyway, so we can leave it up to them."
Neither of them mentioned the issue of those pirates who surrendered. The rules of the spiritual world are the same no matter where they are. Whoever contributes more gets the final say. The target of the Cang pirates' surrender was the Yanmen Sword Cultivator, not the Jiedu Mansion, let alone the Jiedu Mansion.
Tour group.
Tan Xiao also came over, "Master of Crab Claw Island? Okay, I will go over when I have the chance to learn the style of Yan Sect sword cultivator."
Hou Zi welcomed him and said, "Okay, remember to explain your funeral arrangements."
Tan Xiao drifted away, "I will bring you a coffin."
What is the rarest thing in the journey of spiritual practice? Not chance, not treasure, not adventure, but a well-matched opponent.
Tan Xiao intended to use his sword to hone his skills, and Hou Zi also intended to use this man to hone his sword edge. They needed each other.
This Taoist should have some relationship with Mrs. Zhu? But it's none of his business. If others don't mention it, he won't ask.
...Fengweizhu came over with several junior sisters, and when he was about to speak, he interrupted him.
"Don't ask me. What you need to face is your own Taoist heart. No one can help you in this matter."
Several women looked at each other and saw each other's feelings, but Fengweizhu spoke.
"The Cang pirates have been destroyed, the master has disappeared, and the Jiedu Mansion is beyond its reach. We don't want to let Bamboo Island become an isolated island, so we don't plan to leave."
Hou Zi nodded, "I respect your choice, but you have to remember that although it was the Yanmen sword cultivator who helped you in the end, it does not mean that we have such an obligation.
Of course we can contact you when we meet, but I can’t guarantee anything, and Shanmen can’t guarantee anything. So, are you ready to face it alone?”
Fengweizhu took a long breath and made a decision, "The eruption pattern of the northern crater of the island is changing, and the master doesn't know when he will come up, so we decided to stop cultivating the island's bamboo forest before the master comes back and let them Free to grow.”
This is a very wise decision. If we do not cultivate it, the output of the rouge bamboo will decrease drastically. It may not be obvious now, but in a few years, the rouge bamboo will probably become a rarity in the world of cultivation and will never be seen again. May be supplied in bulk.
Without scarce resources, attractive benefits, and frequent business contacts, if it was just a small island with beautiful scenery, how many people would still miss it?
Compared with evacuating, returning to the mainland or finding another island, this method is the most suitable. It can also comply with nature and give the bamboo forest an environment where it can grow freely.
They are all ice-smart practitioners. They know what to do without having to be reminded.
He nodded with a smile, but what he said was very heartbreaking, "If it were me, it would be useless for the master to come back!"
Fengweizhu was very embarrassed, "Master is a master after all. Everything here was built by the master. We..."
Hou Tinghun didn't care, "No one can never make mistakes, not even a saint, let alone your master? If she doesn't listen, just ignore her, or find an opportunity..."
The more he listened, the more frightened he became. These Demon Sect sword cultivators were really unscrupulous, ruthless to outsiders as well as to their own people. Fengweizhu interrupted him quickly, fearing that he would say something treasonous again.
"Senior brother, senior brother, stay here! We know what you mean. If the master comes back, we will not be as silent as before. We will express our feelings and try to persuade the master to change his mind..."
Hou Zi laughed, "I just advise you to find an opportunity to marry your master. What are you thinking?"
