In Zengtou City, several big men gathered together, surrounded by the aroma of wine and the smell of meat.
On the big tree next to them, several people were tied up, all bloody and bruised.
These people were extremely hungry. Although they were weak, they couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the aroma of wine and meat.
There used to be a village nearby. Now the whole village is smoking. It must have been burned down.
Those tied to the tree were the remaining people in the village. They suffered this unreasonable disaster simply because the area near their village became the battlefield between Liangshan and Zengtou City.
In the valley, the Liangshan people who were besieged by Zengtou City would starve to death in a few days.
These men have big shoulders, round waists, bodies like millstones, and are incredibly strong.
Imagine that there is a war and tens of thousands of millstones are running towards you. Are you not afraid?
The Privet Tatars swept across the Khitan and entered the Song Dynasty effortlessly. It was not just luck.
Zengtou City, as the outpost of the Privet Tatars, was so dominant here that the imperial court did not dare to control it and the people could not defeat it.
Finally, a group of strong men arrived. It was said that they could break the Daming Mansion, but they were still unable to deal with them.
Generally, bandits rob passing merchants and pedestrians;
The powerful bandits rob homes and villages;
The top bandits break down cities and seize granaries and government offices;
A village like Zengtou City not only does the first three, but also robs bandits.
The things that the bandits stole can be said to be local bully-level beings who have been here for a long time.
"Zeng Tu, among the people surrounded this time, there is a Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, who has some friendship with me. If you capture him alive then, how about leaving him to me to deal with?"
Zeng Tu's mouth was filled with oil and he said with a smile: "Since it was the master who spoke, I shouldn't have refused as a disciple. However, this Lu Junyi is very famous. If we let outsiders know about the prestige of Zeng Tou Shi, why don't we chop him into pieces?"
Eight yuan, give it to the surrounding county officials, so that they will not dare to take a direct look at Zengtou City in the future."
Shi Wengong was a little unhappy. The five tigers of the Zeng family were his five disciples, but these people were bloody and ruthless and never cared about other people's feelings.
At this time, the dog lying at Zeng Tu's feet barked. Zeng Tu touched its fur, reached out for a knife, and walked to the big tree.
He raised the knife in his hand, cut off an arm, and threw it to his vicious dog. Then he wiped the blood from the blade on his sleeve, not caring about the blood all over his body.
The vicious dog smelled the blood, bared its teeth, came forward, and started to eat with a low whine.
The people who had their arms cut off began to howl in agony. His relative, who was already in a daze, opened his eyes when he heard the howl. When he saw his miserable image, he shed tears and wailed. The surrounding Zeng family members all laughed loudly and laughed fiercely.
This is joy.
Shi Wengong stood up and walked away silently. Although he thought he was not a good person, compared with these people, he was simply the reincarnation of a saint.
After entering the Central Plains for several generations, it has become a little kinder. It is said that those privets that just came out of the White Mountains and Black Waters are hundreds of times more ferocious than this. It is really unimaginable.
When the Zeng family first arrived in the Central Plains, they were still a little wary and did not dare to be so arrogant.
Until later, they killed an Orion due to competition for prey. Not only did the government dare not take care of it, they also severely punished the Orion's wife, children and old mother who went to the Yamen to complain.
Since then, the Zeng family has become more and more domineering, killing people at every turn without any scruples.
The people around you have been insulted and if they dare to go to the government, they will be exterminated tomorrow.
They also often come out to kidnap children, raising the men to be their eagle and dog slaves, and the women to be slaves and maids. When these children grow up, they in turn help the Zeng family to bully their own fathers and fellow villagers.
And if the people gather in crowds to resist, they will be severely punished by the government because they do not want to cause border disputes.
The national policy of the Song Dynasty was like this. The central monarchs and ministers only cared about the wealth and prosperity of Bianliang and never cared about the life and death of the people on the border. Therefore, many absurd phenomena occurred. Zengtou City was a strange product of this strange policy.
Now that three generations of the Zeng family have passed, the privet army finally arrived. It was the time when the momentum was at its most arrogant, so Zeng Tu didn't even give his master face.
"Kill all these Liangshan bandits tonight!" Zeng Tu stood up and said loudly.
Liangshan was the only one who took the initiative to provoke them, which made Zengtou City very unhappy. He even used family heirlooms to trap Liangshan's men in the valley.
In the dark sky, bursts of wolf smoke drifted through, and the dealers in Zengtou City became more and more unscrupulous, showing off their power in the village.
In the valley, Song Jiang and Chao Gai were stationed together. They were originally here to persuade them to surrender. As soon as Song Jiang arrived at Liangshan, he received the news that his friend Chao Gai was besieged in Zengtou City.
He immediately led a group of brothers to Zengtou City to help in the battle, and then they were trapped in the valley together. Everyone worked together to send Chen Da out and let him return to the sect to report the news.
At that time, no one was willing to be the one to go out. In desperation, Chao Gai proposed to draw lots, and finally Chen Da caught him. Only then, with the joint efforts of everyone, was he able to escape and deliver the message.
Now everyone's hope is focused on Zhengjingmen, hoping that they can break the evil spell in Zengtou City.
Chao Gai's face was pale, his lips were purple, his shoulders were bare, there was an arrow wound on them, and they were wrapped in thick white cloth.
Chao Gai was hit by an arrow in his eye, with Shi Wengong's dream name engraved on it. Chao Gai's current state is obvious to everyone. The arrow is poisoned. Fortunately, Chao Gai's cultivation level is very high, so he can hold on.
Now.
"Brother Tianwang, there is no need to worry. Brother Li Yu is the most loyal. When I first met him in Xunyang, he took great care of me."
Chao Gai must have never imagined that the person who was on the trail in Huangnigang that day was Li Yu, the headmaster of Zhengjing Sect who is now famous all over the world.
He forced a laugh and said: "In my life, I have made so many like-minded brothers. I have lived a vigorous life, and there is nothing to be afraid of when I die. I just miss these brothers. I won't see you all with my own eyes."
If you break out of this bird formation, Chao Gai will die in peace."
"Brother!"
Everyone around him burst into tears. Chao Gai was very popular, and a group of people who followed him for so many years made a lot of noise.
Now looking at Chao Gai, who has only one breath left, and is still such a hero, everyone feels even more sad.
Even those brought here by Song Jiang, even those who had never seen Chao Gai, were a little moved.
Song Jiang injected a burst of Qi into Chao Gai's heart, but it was unable to repair his broken meridians.
Shi Wengong was so poisonous and overbearing that ordinary people couldn't cure him. Song Jiang beat the ground and said, "It's a pity that brother Li Yu is not here, otherwise he would have been able to rescue brother Chao Gai."
Chao Gai punched the ground, his demeanor unchanged, "Life and death are determined by fate, there is nothing to regret. However, if you can get out of Zengtou City in the future, you must kill them all."
"Don't worry, brother." Wu Yong sighed and said, "It's a pity that Gongsun Sheng is not here, otherwise this evil spell will definitely be broken."
Not long after Gongsun Sheng joined the group, he took the opportunity to go down the mountain. No one can tell where he is now.
He was used to coming and going in a hurry and his whereabouts were erratic, so Chao Gai didn't take it to heart.
Now that he was at the end of his rope, Chao Gai didn't regret much when he remembered that Gongsun had won. He just said regretfully: "It's a pity that brother Gongsun is not around."
"Brother, relax, wait until we get out, brother? Brother!" Song Jiang shouted a few words, then fell on Chao Gai's body and cried bitterly.
Chao Gai's body stood up straight and stopped moving. The people around him suddenly fell into sorrow. Chao Gai died——
The five tigers of the Zeng family were all guarding outside the valley, waiting for the people of Liangshan to collapse without a fight.
Suddenly, they were shocked to see that the air in front of them seemed to be torn apart.
Three figures emerged out of thin air. The first one was furry and turned out to be a white-furred fox with a black plum blossom on its forehead.
Bai Mao looked around coldly, then his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Is this the baby?"
Then, a female ghost floating in the air bared her teeth and said fiercely: "Don't even take mine from me."
"Why, share it equally!" Zuo Ci came out last. He glanced in the direction of the valley and curled his lips and said, "It's an ancient thing, but it's just a defective product. No wonder someone can escape and report the news."
Bai Mao chuckled and said: "It seems that there are not only corpses buried under the ice."
Zeng Kui was furious, raised his sword and shouted: "What a bird man!"
"You are blind. Are there any birds here? Are there people? They are obviously fairies, ghosts, and demons."
Without saying a word, Zeng Kui slashed directly at the fox. The blade of the blade shattered into dust before it touched the fox, and then dispersed.
Zeng Kui noticed that the fox's eyes were emitting a strange light, and his body slowly lost control, and half of his body suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
Zeng Kui lowered his head and saw that his waist had completely disappeared.
It was at this moment that the severe pain came over me. This scene was so bizarre that the surrounding dealers and guests had their hands trembling with fear and did not dare to step forward.
"Brother!" Zeng Tu took a look, anger arose in his heart, and he was filled with hatred and fear, and he rushed forward with a strange cry.
Bai Mao was very angry and shouted back: "Why isn't this person afraid of me?"
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "What do you have to be afraid of? It's just a fox."
Bai Mao shook the mane on his neck, then raised his head and shouted, his voice shrill and tinged with sadness.
It's like the cry of the ancient ancestors, the whisper of the giant beast in the deep sea, and the loneliness in the starry sky of the eternal night.
Zeng Tu stood still, his eyes were dull, and he suddenly stopped coming forward. His arms slowly melted and turned into dust and flew away, and soon both arms were bare.
The bones and flesh of the damaged area can be seen clearly, and the blood is flowing continuously. It is as if it has been cut away, and it is very smooth. However, there is not even a trace of the next door on the ground, it has completely disappeared.
He was a little confused and glanced at his arm, only to feel the boundless pain.
Facing this terrifying fox, the people in Zengtou City finally felt fear, its methods were too cruel.
Bai Mao looked around triumphantly and said loudly: "Did you see that they are afraid? They are feeling fear. I can smell the strong fear on them."
Chibi didn't care about this. She floated in the air happily and began to collect the magic weapons shrouded above the valley.
Because of Zeng Tu's ruthless behavior, Shi Wengong, who had already stayed away from this place, felt that something was wrong.
The blockade of the valley was actually loosened. He hurried over with a spear in hand. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you that we can't evacuate in three days?"
"Zuo Ci" Shi Wengong murmured: "Xuanhu?"
"Here is a knowledgeable person." Bai Mao smiled and said, "How do you know I am Xuanhu's."
"I heard that Senior Zuo Ci often travels around the world with Xuanhu. It's a great honor to meet him today." Shi Wengong said nervously.
When he saw Zuo Ci and Fox, Shi Wengong backed down. He was not here to work for his life in Zengtou City.
These two things have a very bad reputation, and they are not good people. There is no need to offend these two people just for the little benefit Zengtou City gives them.
You know, they have enemies all over the world, but they are still alive and kicking, which shows their strength.
Bai Mao said with a smile: "We are here for this treasure, so be wise and get out of here."
Zeng Tu lost half of his body, but he was still arrogant and said loudly: "Shi Wengong, what are you doing, why don't you kill them?"
With a bang, a spear was inserted from his mouth and pinned to the ground.
When other members of the Zeng family saw that Shi Wengong had actually killed Zeng Tu, and the method was so cruel, they couldn't help but become furious.
Shi Wengong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "There is nothing I can do for the two seniors. This guy is too noisy. I have no choice but to kill him. You two won't mind, right?"
"This kid really knows the current affairs." Bai Mao urged impatiently: "Have you finished it?"
Chibi chuckled and said, "Right away."
"Who is this?" Shi Wengong asked doubtfully, fearing that he would offend some high-ranking people if he was not polite enough.
"She? The One-horned Ghost King." Zuo Ci said.
Shi Wengong felt chills go down his back after hearing this. The Great Sage Qitian had formed a sworn alliance with the six demon kings in Huaguo Mountain and gathered the seventy-two cave demon kings. This was already the strongest gathering of the demon clan since the ancient gods.
.
The One-Horned Ghost King was the leader among them. It was rumored that she was killed by the Heavenly Court, but it was unexpected that she was still alive in the world.
Shi Wengong didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour. He cupped his fists and said, "Seniors, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Zuo Ci, Baimao and Chibi ignored him, but the Zeng family saw that he had killed Zeng Tu, so how could they let him go.
Suddenly, in mid-air, Chibi smiled and said: "It's done."
Suddenly a strong wind blew up in the valley, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun, and then revealed his true appearance.
The embarrassed Liangshan troops suddenly became jealous when they saw Shi Wengong.
"Shi Wengong, accept your fate!"
Countless people rushed toward him, and Shi Wengong hurriedly dodged, trying to escape.
People from Zengtou City also came to kill him, and for a while he became the one who drew the most hatred.
Zuo Ci took a look and said with a smile: "This boy is not bad. He sacrifices himself for others. We have also obtained the treasure. Why don't we withdraw."
"Yes, it's important to go back early and plan the path to the ghost market perfectly." Baimao said.
Zuo Ci tore apart time and space, and the three people disappeared in a flash.
Song Jiang was among the crowd, pacing back and forth as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, killing people every time he made a move.
Suddenly, he saw Shi Wengong running towards him. Song Jiang sneered, took out a dagger and rushed forward.
When Shi Wengong saw that there were evil men around him, only this fat black man was short and thick, so he separated from everyone, killed them, and prepared to escape.
Song Jiang waved his dagger and seemed to be about to come forward to engage him in hand-to-hand combat. Shi Wengong was overjoyed. As the saying goes, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger.
But Song Jiang suddenly moved his fingers, and a burst of spiritual power emanated from him.
Shi Wengong suddenly felt weak all over, and saw a yellow light emitting from Song Jiang's hand.
A hole the size of a finger appeared on his chest. Shi Wengong frowned and cursed: "You bitch, you use magic, why do you bring a dagger?"
Song Jiang stepped forward, stepped on him and cut off half of his head with a dagger, cursing: "Just to cut off your head."
