ps: Thank you to the layman Lingsu for the reward. Congratulations to the layman for passing on the teachings and entering my Taoism. Thanks for the years and the end of the world. If you are still alive, please give me the monthly ticket of sk0716.
I heard from Song Xiong that the opponent didn't have many people, about ten people, but the first three were extremely skilled in kung fu, while the other thieves' fists, feet, and weapons were all mediocre, and they couldn't compete at all. This is normal. You guys, stand your ground.
Just cheering is enough, not everyone needs to be a good player.
Song Xiong fought with one of them, but he only lasted less than ten moves before suffering a big loss. The brothers in the village rushed forward, but they were still no match for him, so they had to give in and give up the village.
However, these people were not easy to kill. They just robbed the village and then stopped. They also allowed Song Xiong and others to bring a small amount of gold and silver as payment, which was quite a "benevolent knight" style.
As for their appearance, Song Xiong said he couldn't tell clearly. The three leaders had their faces smeared with gold wax, obviously not wanting to be recognized.
The most important thing is that this group of strongmen clearly pointed out the next way for Song Xiong and others to find a way to survive - go to Jundu Mountain to establish a stronghold.
After asking, Song Xiong was taken back to the woodshed of the courtyard. Zhao Ran, Jin Jiu and others looked at each other in silence for a long time. There were more than a dozen strongmen in this group. Why did they rob so many villages? They robbed the villages and didn't kill anyone.
, are you not afraid that the suffering master will come back to seize the stronghold for revenge in the future?
Things are more obvious. These people are targeting Junshan, or to put it clearly, they are targeting Junshan Temple. They keep robbing mountains and strongholds in areas where bandits gather in northern Sichuan, and then drive people to Junshan to cause trouble for Junshan Temple.
!
If Zhao Ran had not cultivated himself, and if he had not taken precautions in advance, not only setting up hidden stakes, but also training villagers, the land reclamation plan in the Junshan area would never have been completed.
This matter must not be dealt with passively. The so-called "soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil" is not feasible. If the situation is allowed to continue, it will be difficult for the Junshan area to settle down. How can we farm when we are busy suppressing bandits all day long?
How are you still living?
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked: "In the past two months, from which counties did all the bandits who came to Junshan come from?"
Jin Jiudao: "Some people come from the junction of Pingwu County in Sichuan Province and Wenxian County in Gansu Province, and some people come from the junction of Qingchuan County in Baoning Prefecture and Lueyang in Shaanxi Province. These mountains are all at the junction of the three provinces, and the local governments have always been unable to control them.
live."
Zhao Ran pondered and said: "So, it's no longer possible to ask the government to intervene?"
Jin Jiu shook his head: "After writing the document, they will definitely agree to help, but there are only a dozen people in the mountains at the junction of three provinces. How can we find them? Even if they are found, how much time will it take for the four county governments to work together to handle the case? In less than half a year
One year is difficult! But if we really have to wait for half a year, our Junshan will really not be able to hold on, and all the people may have to run away."
Zhong Sanlang suggested: "Didn't the county government have some officers come over last month? Why don't we ask the county government to send some third-class government officers to patrol Jundu Mountain?"
Zhong Sanlang was a new layman who was a fire worker, and he didn't know much about world affairs, but the others were somewhat knowledgeable and shook their heads after hearing this.
Last month, Jin Jiu asked Guan Er to go to Kong County Zun, but Kong County Zun avoided seeing him. Jin County Lieutenant sent a few government officials over, but they went back on their own after a few days of inspection. Those government officials said
It makes sense: We are busy with official duties and cannot stay here permanently. Since we have nothing to do, we have to go back and resume our lives. Next time bandits come, please report to us as soon as possible.
Jin Jiu explained to him: "Sending a few yamen archers here will not be of any use unless the guards' troops are mobilized to wipe them out, but...the thieves who come every time are only a dozen or twenty people. Let the guards mobilize them.
Soldiers...this is absolutely impossible, and it's not as easy as using our own soldiers."
Guan Er sighed: "It would be great if we could transfer all the inspectors from the square hall in our courtyard. Now there are only me and Lu Jin. Seriously...sigh..."
Now the supervisor of Wujiyuan is Dong Zhikun, and the master of Fangtang is Jiang Zhiheng. They are not on the same page as Zhao Ran, and he asks them for help. Isn't he just sticking his face in and letting people beat him?
Jin Jiuzhi also wrote several times to report the matter to Wujiyuan, but the response from Wujiyuan was not positive. Later, Guan Er even went back in person, but Dong Zhikun of the Supervisory Court only said that this was a matter for the county government and had nothing to do with the Taoist government.
Since there is nothing to do in the hospital, Guan Er will no longer be contacted.
Zhao Ran thought hard for a long time, but there really was no better solution. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to take a trip by himself, so he said: "You should take good care of Junshan's affairs, and pay special attention to guarding against bandits. For this plan
, it seems that I am the only one who can take a personal trip to the north to see what is going on."
Guan Er and Lu Jin wanted to follow, but were rejected by Zhao Ran: "You have seen my ability in recent times. Who in the world can hurt me? Besides, after I leave, you two
You still need to train your villagers well, and if there are any more thieves, you will have to do your best."
After Zhao Ran said goodbye to everyone, he rode on the old donkey and left Junshan Temple. Before leaving, he went to the cave of Xiaojunshan's Five Color Master to meet and asked the spirit demon to take good care of the people of Junshan. There was a Five Color Master who was in charge of Xiaojunshan.
, small disturbances may be inevitable, but overall safety is always no problem, and Zhao Ran can leave with peace of mind.
The old donkey's speed became faster and faster. It traveled from Jundu Mountain to the northeast. In less than two days, it crossed Guyang County and reached Daqing Mountain in the northeast of Pingwu County. Daqing Mountain spans the junction of three provinces and four counties.
In a radius of more than 200 miles, there are more than a dozen named peaks, and there are no less than a hundred other large and small mountains. Because it is located at the intersection of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi, and it is a huge mountain, the government has no jurisdiction, so it has become a river and lake.
The Outlaw's Habitat.
When Zhao Ran arrived at Daqing Mountain, it was already dark, so he found a hunting house outside the mountain to stay, took out a handful of copper coins and gave them to him as payment for food and accommodation.
After eating the simple meals sent by the Orion couple, Zhao Ran sat quietly in the house practicing. I don’t know how long it had passed before he heard movement in the room next door. Zhao Ran’s mind changed and he listened carefully, but it turned out that it was the Orions who were whispering.
talk.
"Why are you getting up if you don't have a good rest?"
"Old man, I'm going to see if the little Taoist priest next door has turned over..."
"Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you not to do this business?"
"I know, I know, there are some people walking in the world that you shouldn't mess with, and Taoist priests are one of them, but you can't be too stubborn... This little Taoist priest looks at the thin skin and tender flesh, unlike Lian Jiazi, I just look at it
If you pass his hand, there will be no calluses..."
"How can you be sure of this? As far as I know, there are several special skills in the world. The more you practice, the smoother your skin becomes."
"Do you miss that little coquettish hoof again?"
"Where did you start talking about this? My heart for you can be learned from heaven and earth..."
"Okay, don't swear by this poisonous oath... If the little Taoist priest is really good at kung fu, he would have discovered it while eating. You see, he doesn't even know it now, so he must have overturned the medicine. This little Taoist priest only paid fifty cents
, without even counting, there must be something good in him, if you bury him in the ground, wouldn’t that make you a fortune for nothing?”
"You are really taking risks..."
Hearing this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but became speechless. No matter whether he was sitting, lying or walking, he was so focused on practicing that he really didn't notice that the food he was eating was drugged. In fact, it's not his fault. All monks who have entered the Taoist realm
, ordinary poisons in the secular world no longer pose a threat. If you eat them, they will be quickly transformed by magic power, and they will be harmless to the body and even beneficial.
Many of the elixirs recorded in the "Zhilan Elixir Spectrum" would kill everyone if they were given to mortals. However, the elixirs refined by monks are sometimes three times more toxic. For example, Zhao Ran took it to make up for the essence.
His medicinal decoction and pills would have been dead long ago if it had been anyone else, but for him, they were excellent tonics.
This is the difference between monks and mortals.
Zhao Ran's ears were very good, and he could tell that the two people next door got out of bed together. They seemed to have pulled out swords and other weapons to check, and then tiptoed towards his room.
Zhao Ran shook his head. Since he is a shady family, don't blame him for using his dirty tricks.
Hearing the footsteps at the door, Zhao Ran got off the bed, put on his shoes without haste, and went over to open the door.
The old couple was leaning on the crack of the door with their ears bent to eavesdrop. When the door suddenly opened, they were startled.
Zhao Ran saw that one of them was holding a knife and the other was holding an axe, and there was a faint scarlet color on the edge of the knife and axe. He didn't know how many lives had been killed, so he stopped talking nonsense, spat out his magic power, and pushed it through the air with his palms.
He immediately beat the two old thieves until they vomited blood and fell backward.
Zhao Ran was stunned and thought to himself, don't beat him to death, he still has something to ask. (To be continued...)
