Chapter 311: If you don't become the Way, you'd rather die
"I will fight with you"
A middle-aged man stood up with his sword drawn, and organized his soldiers to resist with crossbows. Arrows and rain fell, but these bandits all had martial arts skills, so they suffered few casualties, and they all came to cover them up.
There were several people in the family who were successful in refining qi, but they were killed by some men in black in the dark. Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man's face turned pale. While resisting, he whispered to his followers: "Take the young master to ask the Ye family for help..."
…
"Pfft--" A ray of light penetrated his chest.
"Brother," someone shouted angrily, gritting his teeth and taking over the command.
With the commotion, women and children fled in panic, and under the guidance of several stewards, they faintly headed towards the ancestral hall.
"Huh, you want to run away?" A Taoist felt something. The shadow circled the back door, intercepted and killed the messenger, and snatched a pair of young siblings in his arms. The older boy hugged the crying sister tightly, his clear eyes full of eyes.
It's all hatred: "If you harm my whole family, you will not be able to die well. The second-ranked man will definitely kill you all."
"Haha, who is that? I've never heard of it -" Youying laughed with tears in his eyes as if he heard a joke. After a pause of laughter, he opened his bloody mouth and bit it...
"What a high-quality blood food. After eating it, my life will be restored."
As the soldiers of the Zhuang family retreated steadily, and when they retreated into the ancestral hall, two red lights rose in the garden, and they shouted: "Evil people, you will die."
...It is a god who finally appears when the family is in crisis.
Taoist Mingyang opened his eyes and took a look. When he saw the red light, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This family can be wiped out."
When the remaining Taoists saw this, they all took the initiative, but they had to communicate secretly: "Be careful, there is a scam. Last time, a golden god was ambushed by someone, and he blew himself up."
"It was cruel enough. It dragged two Taoists to death together. The restrictions on us in this world are too severe. The warning signs of life and death are so weak that we don't hear them. We only sense them when we are in an urgent situation. How can we have time? It's too risky..."
"I think what's more cruel is that they are clearly using us as cannon fodder."
"What can you do? So what if you know you are cannon fodder? It is better than fighting to the death for a few spiritual stones... This is a foreign land rich in resources."
"This is a foreign land, and the famous sects can't control us. If we go further down, we have to find a good opportunity to escape..."
Flame, frost, wind...
Under the siege, the gods quickly fell. As soon as the red light dissipated, sadness emerged in the hearts of the remaining tribesmen. They were stunned for a moment, and the Taoists received the order to return their troops.
"Why did you give up the big piece of blood?" Although he came back reluctantly, he said accusingly.
Taoist Mingyang turned around, his eyes dimly glowing green in the night, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you convinced?"
Feeling the murderous intent, several Taoists looked at each other and remained silent for a while.
"I have made it clear before that these bloodbaths must be done by the indigenous people, and half of the cause and effect must be taken over by the indigenous people. As for the blood food, although the effect is reduced a bit after killing them, there are so many people, and it is not enough for you to eat blood.
?”
Taoist Mingyang scolded, unable to hide his disgust. Most of these Taoists were casual cultivators and demon sects. In order to compete for a little spiritual stone, they had turned themselves into ghosts and humans. Later, the spiritual stones were gone. In order to make progress, they developed bleeding.
Eating - living by eating people.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that this situation was not surprising when the spiritual energy and spiritual stones in this area were basically divided and declining day by day.
In the history of this domain, casual cultivators even united and recommended several masters. It is said that there were shadows of several sub-sages behind them to attack the great sect and even reach the headquarters.
Shouting: "If you don't become enlightened, you'd rather die"
"The Great Dao Zhigong, does the saint Jin Xianning have the kind?"
"The spiritual veins and stones of mountains, rivers, and rivers, you sent An Neng to give and receive privately."
This was suppressed only by the saints.
After that, the great sect would throw some spiritual stones and elixirs to the casual cultivators from time to time, so that they would have some hope and not be so hungry that they would unite to revolt, and then divide them and kill each other - although the uprising could be suppressed, it would still cause harm.
Are Qi Shu and Yuan Qi the same?
This reminded Taoist Mingyang of cultivating gu, and also of the way kings and nobles governed the people when there were still countries in this region a long time ago.
However, this method of cultivating voodoo bugs, killing and devouring the voodoo king among millions of voodoo insects, is naturally unpredictable and extremely powerful. If you take it easy to kill and rob monks, such people will be recruited by saints and become
If a great sect protects the Dharma without recognizing and appreciating it, it will be in vain.
There are all ants under the saint, and so is the King of Gu.
There is one person in my teaching who would always call him "Master" when I see him.
It's just that for this kind of casual cultivator who has no humanity for the sake of cultivation, as a noble cultivator who enjoys the spiritual energy of spiritual stones and is a branch of the saint's path, he looks down on them out of his heart.
Even if he is a master, he is just a dog raised by me.
"I'll kill you scum when I'm done using it," he thought to himself, but pointed at a person and said, "Look at this person."
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man, slashing with a knife, dripping with joy. At first glance, the air was gray and black, but there was a little red air.
"You see, this man is a native. Although he kills without mercy, he has the luck of this world. Because he can gather people, I will make him the leader, the general, and the king."
"With him, we can hide in it and attack the city."
"Don't ruin the big thing and touch my bottom line. Otherwise, the sage's laws are set up for you." When he said the last sentence, a kind of majesty of the laws filled the air.
This is the majesty of the law that has been unshakable for thousands of years in this region. It comes from the saints who are said to be indestructible. They themselves represent the way of heaven in this region.
All the Taoists were frightened for a moment, so they all had no choice but to respond.
At this time, the sound of killing continued, even extending into the ancestral hall, with screams and cries of women being tortured... and gradually became smaller and disappeared.
A group of dark shadows came out of the door. Only the bright red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the ancestral hall were broken and swaying in the wind and rain, and blood was flowing on the ground bit by bit.
The rain quickly washed away a lot of blood stains, but could not wash away the strong smell of blood.
Cao Mansion
When a scout rushed to the door of the study, he heard the bell ringing inside and saw Cao Hushan holding a cup in one hand and talking to a housekeeper.
The scout didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait with his hands down.
"Go to the Ye Mansion tomorrow and tell your lady the outcome of our discussion. Present the gift list to see if there are any objections. If there are no objections, it will be officially presented."
Cao Hushan spoke in an orderly manner with a very relaxed attitude.
Since Cao Baijing arrived at Ye Mansion, although he has gradually been suspected of being a vassal, there are actually many benefits, whether it is business, land, or contacts.
After finishing his instructions, Cao Hushan looked at the scout. He was his nephew. He looked at him and bowed, and said with a smile: "Here comes Hachiro. Why is it so urgent?"
"Your mother has been in poor health. I have sent someone to call a doctor, so don't worry about her.
The scout had dark circles under his eyes, and his face was pale with a gray-green color and a little flushed. Cao Hushan misunderstood him and said with a smile: "I don't need to be so polite. If there are difficulties, the clan will solve them."
The scout felt a little moved in his heart and hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Thank you to the patriarch. Thanks to the patriarch's great blessing, my mother has actually been feeling better these days, but I didn't come here for this matter - something big happened to the Hua family."
"What's the matter?" Cao Hushan sat upright with his arms raised and asked.
"The Hua family is destroyed"
"What?" Cao Hushan couldn't believe it and kept asking. When he was sure, he sat down on the chair and was speechless for a while.
The Hua family is next door. It is considered a big family in the county. The previous generation had a marriage and they were relatives. Later, there was a estrangement between the generations and they became enemies for nearly 20 years because of the fight for the Huanglu River land. However,
There are only exchanges of words, but no confrontation of swords and guns.
Cao Hushan had several direct confrontations with the Hua family, and although he rarely met the head of the Hua family alone, when he did, he was always polite and courteous.
At this moment, when I smelled the annihilation of the family, my heart suddenly felt like a rabbit dying of foxes, with sadness and a pale complexion... This was more of a fear, how could I not be afraid?
Twenty miles away is the Cao family.
"Go and report to the Ye family quickly, report to the county." Cao Hushan broke out in a cold sweat. He was stunned for an unknown amount of time before he woke up and realized that he was not suitable for sitting there. He quickly said: "I need to ride fast - Hachiro,
If you know how to ride, just go ahead, thank you for your hard work."
The eighth man of the Cao family was a little tired after a night of patrolling, but at this moment he bowed and said: "Don't worry, head of the family, I will go over right away, and I will definitely pass on the news within an hour."
After hearing this, Cao Hushan couldn't help but feel certain, and then he thought again and asked: "Wait a minute, is there really no one left in the Hua family? No one left?"
"There is no one left. I checked and they are all dead. The bodies of several direct descendants of the Hua family are there. Even a pair of direct siblings were not found, but there is no news that they are alive."
"So many people have died, even if there are still direct descendants, they can't hold on." Cao Hushan stood up and thought for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart.
He and the Hua family are still relatives, so there is room for intervention.
Although I feel sorry for the Hua family, since everyone is dead, this field is an ownerless land. The leader of a large family cannot act emotionally and must act in the interests of the clan.
After thinking about it carefully, he stood still, his tone gradually calmed down, and he told Hachiro who was waiting for words: "Just take the gift list and other matters with you, so that you don't have to run twice."
"Also, the destruction of the Hua family is a big deal, and the farm matter is not a small matter. There are several big families around, and none of them are fuel-efficient. You ask the Ye family to go and find out what is going on with the Hua family. If there is no serious problem,
We must share at least 20% of the Hua family’s land."
"I'll leave everything else to the Ye family."
According to his idea, the Hua family's land cannot be monopolized, so as not to provoke the anger of the crowd and damage the harmony, but it is still okay for the two of them to jointly take 50%, 30% for the Ye family and 20% for themselves, which is not bad, and the rest will be left to
The county will just share some of the flesh and blood with the big households.
Having said that, Cao Hushan lowered his head and drank tea with a somewhat calm demeanor, waving Cao Balang to retreat.
