Chapter 732 The Buddha's Compassion Does Not Save the World
In an instant, at least dozens of arrows fell into the dense crowd.
The cries of pain and despair tore apart all the original harmony and tranquility.
Snow, snow everywhere.
Blood, blood is everywhere.
A little girl of seven or eight years old threw away the snowflakes that fell into her hands and stared blankly at the blood on the ground, her eyes blurred with fear. Then she seemed to suddenly think of something, and followed her instinctive desire to find shelter. Keep looking for your mother in the crowd.
Then she also saw blood on her mother's body. Unfortunately, an arrow also fell on the young woman. Fortunately, the woman was not dead yet, at least not for the time being.
"Mother!" the little girl cried and fell into her arms.
"Don't cry." The woman said the last words in a weak voice, then hugged her little daughter and used her body to protect the little girl tightly. If another round of arrows fell at this time, Presumably her body will become the little girl's last shield...
"Enemy attack!" Shen Sanwan finally reacted, whipped out the scimitar from his waist, and shouted to the guards who rushed out of the dock: "Brothers! Brace yourself, a tough battle may be coming! "
Then, he turned to Shen Lang and shouted: "Brother Shen! The situation is not good. You and your family should quickly hide in the dock. It is really not safe here!"
Only then did Shen Lang discover that Shen Sanwan was a monk at the eighth level of the True Spirit. But before he could say anything, a loud laugh came from the north bank of Wangyu River.
"You want to pass by my territory without saying a word. You really don't understand the rules! It would be too easy to kill a few of you." The speaker was dressed in black and had a ferocious scar on his face. He looked at the flow of the Yu River. The sound waves rise and fall with his words.
A wave of water condensed into a water column out of thin air. He stood on the water column that was three feet high, looking down at the people on the boat.
Shen Sanwan can be considered a traveler. Just listening to the scarred man's words, he knew that he was a person who specializes in robbing houses, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I am not familiar with the nearby roads, and I mistakenly entered your The territory is really inappropriate, so let’s do this, I’m willing to give you one million spiritual stones to treat you brothers to a drink, which can be considered as an apology.”
One million spirit stones is not too much, but it is quite a lot for ordinary monks. And what bandits do is to rob homes and houses. According to common sense, they can get a lot of money, so they will not fight with merchant ships. What's more, there are more or less dozens of monks guarding the ship, so there will always be casualties in a tough fight.
However, when he heard the number one million, the scarred man sneered: "Humph, are you sending away beggars?"
"You can't make much money even if you start a small business," Shen Sanwan said.
"Hahahaha! Shen Sanwan, you think I don't know your secret? The so-called cargo on the ship is just a cover-up." The scarred man sneered: "The truly precious things are all in your own Qiankun Ring."
When Shen Sanwan saw this stranger calling him by his first name, he frowned and felt something was wrong.
"My friends on the road told me that you brought a batch of sapphires from Zhongzhou. Well, because some big shots are making trouble in Donghai County, the price of sapphires in the south has skyrocketed during this period." The scarred man He smiled and said, "If you bring some sapphires from Zhongzhou, you will probably make a lot of money every time you come here, right?"
Shen Sanwan frowned and said, "Ten million can't be more."
"Hahahaha, ten million?" The scarred man sneered: "I'll give you one last chance, take out one billion, and I'll leave immediately."
"One billion?" Shen Sanwan said angrily: "I said it's just a small business. The things on the ship, including the sapphires you mentioned, can't reach 100 million!"
"Hmph! How much money do you have? I will know after I kill you." The scarred man suddenly made a gesture.
The robbers who were ambushing on both sides of the river saw that gesture, so they pulled the crossbow with all their strength, causing the machine spring inside the crossbow to creak. In the cold mechanical sound, the smiles on their faces became even bigger. ferocious.
Dozens of ordinary crossbow arrows may not be enough to hurt the monks guarding the ship, but they are enough to kill many innocent travelers. Their purpose is actually to build momentum, and killing is the best way to build momentum!
After a round of arrows, the deck will be completely dyed red with blood, and the screams and cries will turn the merchant ship into a hell that everyone fears. In this atmosphere, there will inevitably be more guards on the ship. The more timid you are, the weaker your momentum will be.
By then, they would cross the waterfront and fight their way to the boat, and they would be able to kill all the few monks on the boat with minimal casualties!
This is actually a method of committing crimes that has been summarized by robbers for many years, and it is also a psychological tactic. It has always been tried and true.
Listening to the sound of the internal springs of the crossbows tightening, the passengers on the deck fell into despair.
Previously, Shen Sanwan claimed that he could give 10 million to the robbers, and they all thought they could escape with their lives. But who would have thought that the robbers would be so open-minded and vicious...
The young woman hugged the little girl in her arms a little tighter, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. At this time, she was not afraid of death, but she was worried that her weak body would not be able to help the little girl block the arrows. After all, those arrows The arrow is so fierce that it can even penetrate a three-inch thick wooden board...
The little girl had forgotten to cry. She hugged her mother tightly. The bright red blood was still flowing from the young woman's shoulder blades to the little girl's face, blending with her tears. Together, they turned into blood and tears sliding down her cheeks...
Not far from this poor mother and daughter, several ascetics were sitting. I don't know whether it was luck or other reasons, but none of the previous arrows landed on them.
The young monk looked at the poor mother and daughter, and finally felt a little unbearable. He quietly looked at the old monk and asked: "Uncle Kongxing, why don't we take action..."
Master Kongxing shook his head and said: "Life and death are like flowers blooming and falling, they have their own destiny. In Buddhism, if you keep quiet, your mind should be free of anything, so why should it be stained with dust?"
"This..." The young monk could not have the four elements empty. There was dust and blood in his heart, so he could not understand the lofty realm of the Master of Emptiness for a while, and seemed to want to say something else.
But at this moment, the sound of the machine springs bouncing and the sound of arrows buzzing through the air could be heard together! The people on the deck howled in horror and despair.
But Master Kongxing turned a deaf ear to these voices and turned a blind eye. Three days ago, he boarded the boat at the Jiangxue City ferry, and since then he has been sitting on the deck ignoring the world. He never cheered when it snowed, and the first round of arrows fell. , the poor mother and daughter were right next to him, but he did not save them.
At this time, the second round of arrows was about to arrive, but he slowly closed his eyes, made a lotus fingerprint and solemnly made a treasure, and three inches of Buddha's light emerged from his body.
He stingily protected himself with three inches of Buddha's light, but caused all sentient beings to fall into the painful cycle of life and death.
However, at this moment, a certain devil at the bow of the ship suddenly took a step, and with a slight stroke of his long and powerful palm in the air, the power of heaven and earth surged crazily and turned into an evil wind...
