The sun passed through the floating clouds, illuminating the green rolling hills.
The official road to the west of Qingshan County is sparsely populated. Business travelers mostly travel from south to north. Occasionally, there are business travelers and travelers passing by. I saw young people and old men under the shade of trees on the roadside, and there was an ox cart. I thought it was my son taking his family home.
The old man drove out and didn't look at it again.
"Hmm...there are no magic records in books nearby...but there are strange trees."
After the campfire was extinguished and they had a simple lunch, Chen Yuan looked at the contents of the book, trying to find the missing records of magic techniques in the book. From the strange techniques to the strange plant chapters, he could only find one nearby.
"Five miles to the south and east, there is a tree in the mountain. Its color is dark and its shape is like a Gu beast, which can be used as a whip."
"That's it. Let's take a look and see if there's still a place to perform to earn some popularity for Mr. San."
He closed the book and put it in his arms, and whistled at the old cow grazing over there. The big green cow raised its head, dragged the caravan and spread its hooves. With a deep muffled sound, it ran to the roadside and stopped.
He raised his horns and made a long hissing sound.
"Master, let's go!"
Chen Yuan called out to the crazy old man under the tree who was poking at the ants' nest with a branch. He finally found something interesting. He quickly threw away the branch, grabbed two ants and jumped onto the cart to chase them away.
With the sound of the whip cracking, Chen Yuan looked back at the old man in the car who was making two ants fight, and said with a smile: "Master, do you still remember if there is a magic spell that can help you drive?"
The old man was busy fighting ants, shaking his head like a rattle.
At the same time, the wooden carvings were still shaking, and the caravan was full of wooden sculptures. They were all roles that would play minor roles in the future. When Chen Yuan used the technique of overpowering that night, he found that as long as he was not a person of his world, he could do whatever he wanted.
Drive, of course, cannot take form like a paper frog or horse.
Here, seeing that the old man's attention was focused on the two ants, Chen Yuan sighed and had to continue driving the bullock cart. It was really uncomfortable to drive slowly like this, and it was quite painful along the way. He was over 40 years old.
Not a single town was seen here, and the villages were in disarray. After only two performances, the wood carvings of San Ye were somewhat polished.
Zhizhi...
On the road, there was an annoying sound of cicadas in the distant mountains. In the June sky, the ox cart swayed for a while. Chen Yuan was thinking about something when the old ox pulling the cart suddenly stopped and tapped its hooves uneasily.
"Apprentice, why did you stop?" The crazy old man stuck his head out of the wooden fence.
Chen Yuan raised his chin and pointed to the road ahead. He saw a few rags and chopped wood on the ground. He closed his eyes, as if the state in Liu's house that day had returned, and his consciousness suddenly drifted away.
It's about two miles in radius.
After a moment, he opened his eyes again.
"We've run into someone from Jie Dao." After murmuring, Chen Yuan looked at the master in the car, "I'm worried that there is no audience. Master, here comes the fun."
"where?!"
Upon hearing this, the crazy old man flicked the two ants on his fingertips, jumped onto the car, and followed his apprentice's gaze to the straight road ahead.
Half a mile away, at the corner at the foot of the mountain, two large rocks stand on the side of the road. Behind the rocks, there are a few tufts of grass tips swaying in the wind. Several people below are holding on to the weeds and branches, holding weapons in their hands, staring at the corner of the road.
, biting grass roots and talking in a low voice.
"...The leader of the village has ordered two sales to be completed today, and I don't know how long it will take for one to be completed."
"The official road to the north is better than here. Why did the boss choose this place?"
"Stupid, this is close to the village!"
"Stop, stop talking, listen!"
Someone made a "hiss" sound, moved towards the stone, and listened carefully. There was a faint sound of bells, and the sound of rolling shafts spread towards this direction.
"The deal is coming!"
There were also figures who rubbed their fists excitedly.
"That's it. After completing this transaction, it's time to go back to the village and rest."
"You're not promising. If you do a few more deals, you can gain face among your brothers when you go back, and you'll be appreciated by the village master in the future!"
"Yes, yes, I robbed a Taoist priest along the way."
"Don't say that Taoist priest is unlucky! He is poorer than us."
While several people were whispering, they suddenly felt wind blowing on the back of their necks. Before they could react, a strange voice rang out from beside them.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone tilted their heads, and an old man in shabby clothes followed them and lay on the rock. He looked curiously at the bullock cart coming around the corner, "Do you want that cart? It's okay, the driver is my apprentice, I will take you there!"
"
This guy must be a lunatic.
Several robbers were stunned, not knowing where this old man came from. One of them gripped the handle of the knife tightly and put the edge of the knife on the old man's neck. "Don't care if you are pretending to be crazy or not. Let's rob it first and drive the cattle cart back to the village."
, the false also becomes true.”
In an instant, a group of robbers swarmed out and occupied the road. Two people were separated to block the back road of the slowly approaching bullock cart.
The leader seemed to be a small boss. He opened his single coat to reveal his thick chest hair. He waved a knife and asked the man driving the carriage to get down.
"That man, I think you are unlucky today. My brothers are out of money, so I want to borrow some property from you."
"Brother, look at my old bullock cart, I don't look like someone rich at all. I built the sheds myself. I know some craftsmanship, so why not join a few people to join the camp?"
The man had straight eyebrows and a handsome appearance, but his skin was a bit rough, unlike a fake craftsman. However, the other party's sudden words still stunned the robbers.
Unexpectedly, I met someone who wanted to join the gang. The two robbers, one fat and one thin, stood in front and looked at each other.
"Could it be a scam?"
"It's just one person who can take it back to the village alone. There are many of us. Are we afraid that he will make a big move?"
"One less thing to say, there's that lunatic."
"That one can only be counted as half."
"Then take them back together."
After getting ready to pay attention, the two people turned around and signaled the other two companions behind to get in the car and search. In addition to the wood carvings, scenery, and carpentry tools, there was only a heavy baggage left. When they opened it, it was all white and shiny.
"Boss, there's a lot of money."
The fat man looked at the many ingots of silver he held out of the car and glared at the man opposite him: "Dishonest. Take him back and lock him up for a few days!"
Most of the robbers in the mountains are lazy and lazy people. After being robbed of property like this, they don't dare to go back, so they simply follow the man who drives a bullock cart and lock him up for a few days, divide the property, and then let people say
He said that he must stay in the village.
"Apprentice, how was your performance for the master?" The old man came over.
Chen Yuan put her hands behind her back and gestured with her thumb.
Soon after, four robbers drove an ox cart and escorted an old man and a young man across the sky.
…
The setting sun rolled through the western clouds like a tidal wave, illuminating the distant mountains a bright red like fire.
Wow--
The dusky crow flew away from the branches, fell from the heads of a group of people on the winding mountain road below to the big tree in the distance, and made an ominous neighing sound.
The mountain road was rugged. After walking through half of the cliff, you could faintly see the village gate standing at the end of the road. The leader of the robbers went over first, greeted the guards, opened the village gate and asked people to drive the ox cart in first, and he raised the
The baggage containing silver entered the village building first.
Chen Yuan was pushed by someone and stood with his master in the open space of the village. The place was not big, just three simple wooden buildings built on a large hillside. After a rough scan, there were only two robbers in the village.
More than ten people.
The vendors I met on the official road before were stripped of their robes and squatted not far away, naked.
After a moment, the village door behind him was closed. Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky. The bandit in custody followed his gaze and looked at the sky.
"about there."
Chen Yuan said this, casually touching the robber with his fingertips, causing him to collapse and sit on the ground. Immediately, he turned around and walked towards the bullock cart. Under his cuffs, he stretched out his five fingers and pinched out the finger trick.
.
Raise your hand.
Not far away, the two bandits who were untying the old cow from the rope suddenly felt the truck body shaking and turned their heads to look. It was a scene that was more horrifying than seeing a ghost.
It was full of hanging puppets, old students, young students, Hua Dan, and Lao Dan. In the dim afterglow, pairs of eyes glowed red, and they shook their heads and turned to look at them coldly.
The two swallowed their saliva, their legs instantly became weak, and they stood there tremblingly, their heads blank. The old cow who untied the rope looked back, hurriedly lowered his head, bit the rope on the ground in his mouth, and shook it.
The tail stayed motionless on the frame.
The rays of light sink down the mountain tops.
In the village building in front, the robber who had entered before came out with a smile. Next to him was a burly man, naked to the waist, with bulging muscles that swelled as he moved around, making him quite powerful.
"Is this the person?"
"Yes, that's him. This man is shabby and shabby. I didn't expect he still has so much money."
The big man nodded, and with his one-eyed gaze, he saw the young man standing in front of the bullock cart, not knowing what he was doing, as if talking to the inside. On the other side, his two men were standing like logs, which made him frown.
"What is he doing?"
At this time, the sky was already dark, and torches were lit in the village. In the dusk, Chen Yuan seemed to know that someone was watching him, and turned his head and grinned at the burly figure standing in front of the village building.
next moment.
More than a dozen black shadows about one foot long emerged from the boxcar quickly and landed on Chen Yuan's legs, shoulders, or on the roof or behind the shaft. A pair of eyes glowed red.
It's like a demon standing there.
The fat robber, as well as everyone around him, felt his scalp numb instantly, and the muscles on the burly man's face were twitching.
"Damn it, you guys are robbing everything on the mountain..."
Over there, a pair of swaying red eyes followed Chen Yuan as he took a step forward, then walked or crawled forward. The man who looked at him tightened his scalp, and felt a coldness crawling up his back. He stepped back again and again and shouted loudly.
