"If you dare to take his things, you're done." The words had just fallen.
The big man heard a cry of "Ouch" from his men behind him, followed by the sound of several heavy objects hitting the ground. He held the hilt of the knife with his backhand and glanced at the door.
The few people who took the silver lay on the ground and couldn't get up. They struggled on the ground, waving their knives and kicking their feet.
"Boss, there is some magic... That scholar can do some magic... "
The two families in the corner were so frightened that they dropped the porridge bowls in their children's hands on the ground and took several steps back until they were close to the wall.
In the hall, the leading thief turned back in panic, swallowed, took a cautious step back on his heel, and stammered.
"Don't come over here, the knife in my hand has killed many people..."
He swallowed again, clenched his teeth, opened his mouth wide, looked angry, roared "Ah--", turned around and ran out.
Lu Liangsheng turned sideways and waved his sleeves. A half-broken chair leg in the fire flew away from the campfire, dragging flames with it, and flew out the door.
Wow~
The flames leaned back, turned a few times, and hit the fleeing bandit leader's knee with a bang. The running figure suddenly bent his knees and fell to the ground, and the long knife in his hand slid half a foot to the ground with a clang.
"Since you killed so many people, it means you are very powerful."
Lu Liangsheng didn't even look at the bandits lying at the door and couldn't get up. He walked out and stood beside the bandit leader. He picked up the long knife on the ground with two fingers and swung it casually.
Boom!
The blade pierced into the opposite mountain wall, sinking half an inch while the scholar continued speaking.
"… Then your village should have many captured women and children. Take me there."
The bandit leader raised his head and looked at the cliff. The handle of the knife was still shaking. He had no idea that he had run into a scholar and was so powerful. He knew that today was worse than kicking a iron plate. The big man nodded nervously with disordered breathing.
"I will take you to the village right now. Please spare my life."
Seeing that he agreed, he called the Taoist priest to take the bandit back to the hall, tied up the old donkey, and said to the two families in the corner over there:
"It's cold in the mountains, you should stay here for one night. The two of us will go to the bandit camp to check it out. The thieves at the entrance are restrained by my magic, so they can't escape, so don't worry."
Two couples hugged their children and nodded to the scholar with trembling lips. One of the men was a little braver and replied:
"Just go ahead, sir. We will save ourselves."
By the time others reacted, the scholar at the door had already gone outside, and the tinkling sound of copper bells had already faded away on the mountain path.
Ding ding ding…
The mountain wind was bone-chilling, whimpering across the mountainside. In the mist, copper bells swung on the donkey's neck. The bandit leader, with his hands tied, walked tremblingly in front.
The Taoist would kick him from behind from time to time.
"Damn it, can't you walk faster? The porridge in my pot is almost burnt!!"
"Master Dao, we are right in front of us, please stop kicking us."
Begging for mercy, they walked along a narrow mountain path. They saw a faint glow of fire between the trees. The bandit leader quickened his pace, looking back every few steps.
"Sir, Taoist priest, the base is just ahead... There are two men guarding inside, I'll go get them out."
Lu Liangsheng said nothing, loosened the reins, and walked over with the Taoist. The bandit's camp was not very big, and there were no guardrails. There was a bonfire in the middle, and there were several carts and tents. The felt tent in the middle was the largest, and a figure could be vaguely seen swaying in the tent.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
The bandit leader bowed and nodded and said something, then suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards the felt tent, shouting.
"Everyone, come out and save me!!"
"Good boy, you want to play dirty!!"
Just as the Taoist angrily took out the talisman paper, Lu Liangsheng raised his hand to stop him, looked towards the big tent, and lowered his voice.
"There's something wrong inside."
Sun Yingxian stopped while holding the yellow talisman, "Any questions?"
call…
Whoosh whoosh…
The wind in the forest grew stronger, and the campfire in the middle of the camp fell over, with the flames flickering.
The moment the bandit leader who ran towards the tent stepped towards the tent entrance, the tent curtain was lifted up and a hand bigger than his face pushed out.
boom!
Click…
With a loud bang and the sound of breaking bones, the figure that rushed to the tent entrance flew back like a cannonball, spurting out a puff of blood mist in the air, and fell to the ground and rolled into a blood gourd.
"There's someone—"
The Taoist waved his sleeves, and the two pieces of talisman paper in his hands suddenly caught fire and he flipped his fingers.
"Wind, fire, thunder and lightning, fast!"
As the word "ji" was spoken, a strong wind blew up from the ground, pressing the flames to the ground. The ropes at the four corners of the tent in front broke from the wooden stakes, and the tent roof was blown directly into the sky.
"ah… "
The screams of a few tender children's voices came from five children squatting on the ground. Next to them was a fat and big-eared figure with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, each bead as big as a fist.
As if he realized that there was someone outside, a copper ring on his ear moved, his broad and fat face turned slightly, and he glared with his narrow eyes. The next second, he opened his hand, and the big yellow cloth bag suddenly flipped over to cover the child, and his other hand made the Vajra Seal to push outwards.
The air twisted, creating ripples with a faint golden glow.
Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist blocked the attack with their sleeves, but were pushed back a few steps, leaving four shallow marks.
A little further away, an old donkey neighed and stamped its hooves, shaking the bookshelf compartments. The Toad Taoist opened his eyes, pushed open the small door, jumped to the ground, and ran on the ground with his webbed paws clattering.
Ahem…
The Taoist coughed twice and waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke and dust. Lu Liangsheng let down his wide sleeves, and the fat and big-eared figure over there had disappeared. Only the branches above were still shaking.
"Buddhism..."
Lu Liangsheng naturally saw the other person's appearance. He was a tall and fat monk, just a monk. Why would he capture those children
"Lao Sun, let's chase after him!"
"good!"
When the Taoist priest used his escape technique and jumped into the ground, he suddenly heard the voice of the Toad Taoist priest behind him.
"etc."
The toad wearing a small cotton-padded jacket walked over with its flippers on its back, jumped onto the bandit leader's body on the ground, lowered its head to look at his sunken chest, and narrowed its bean-sized eyes.
“… the Vajra Seal of Subduing the Magic.”
Lu Liangsheng put away his brush, walked closer to the toad and squatted beside it.
"Master, do you know this fat monk?"
As he spoke, he used his fingertips to lift up the blood-soaked collar of the corpse a little. The skin and flesh were intact, but the sternum was completely broken and the entire chest cavity was sunken.
The Taoist took a breath of cold air.
"The blood comes out from the pores... This monk is really amazing."
The Toad Taoist shook his head, slowly walked down from the corpse, and then answered the scholar's questions.
"I don't know that fat monk, but I have seen this seal before. I just don't know if he is from the Temple of All Beings or the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas. If it is the latter, then the fat monk is most likely the disciple of that old bald donkey... Didn't I tell you before that there was an old rival?"
Lu Liangsheng raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm? Master, I don't think you've ever said that before."
The Toad Taoist was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter while holding his frog web on his back. He waved his webbed feet and talked as he walked towards the old donkey.
"I am old now, I almost forgot... Hehe... But you two should not chase after that fat monk, his cultivation is higher than yours."
His mother's...
If we attract that old monk, we'll be in trouble.
