The Black Cavalry Thief's lair is actually also in Fulong Mountain, but Fulong Mountain is very large and long, and there are many extending mountains, hills, valleys, etc., connecting more than ten prefectures across it, and there are hundreds of them around it. county.
The reason why Dongshan County was chosen as the target of this robbery was that Dongshan County was far away from the capital city and had not experienced much riots before, so it was seriously under-prepared.
Originally, the Black Cavalry Thieves did not intend to massacre the city this time, but when they invaded the city, they encountered counterattacks from several local wealthy families and the county government, and lost an extremely important junior, the third leader of the Black Cavalry Thieves who was responsible for this operation. Angry, he directly ordered the massacre of the city and personally took action to defeat the resistance forces in Dongshan County.
After ordering the massacre of the city, the black-riding thieves seemed to be still angry, and then sent out their troops to fight outside the city, causing panic and chaos in the countryside.
The news of the city massacre and the figure of the black-riding bandit appeared in the sight of the villagers from all over the country at almost the same time. Fear soon overwhelmed the rolling shutter of the countryside. The villagers had to carry light belongings and support the elderly and the young to leave their hometowns.
But where to escape is also a problem. Most villagers do not have the ability to migrate long distances. Although a small number of monks and warriors can leave more quickly, they cannot let go of their family ties and cannot abandon their families and escape alone.
Dongshan County is surrounded by mountains on almost three sides. Only the east, northeast, and southeast directions can escape to other counties, while rural people in other directions need to risk their lives under the robbery and obstruction of black-riding bandits.
Although some villages tried to resist and please the black knight robbers, the angry black knight robbers seemed not to let everyone go. It was just that because there were relatively few black knight robbers, they were not very good at killing while plundering. It gave the villagers time to hesitate and run away.
It was under this situation that Xu Shen went down the mountain again, took off his bun, and went around barefoot with a sword to spread the word that in the ruined temple on the mountain, he received a dream from a dragon king who woke up from his deep sleep.
"The Dragon Lord, the Mountain King of Mercy, is the descendant of the ancient Dragon God. He has a heart of great compassion and a heart to save people. He was born to be the Lord of Fulong Mountain. The name of Fulong Mountain refers to the Mountain King, Dragon Lord."
At a temporary gathering place at the foot of the mountain, Xu Shen advertised the gods that no one had heard of with a look of reverence. However, not everyone had heard of it. At least a few in the crowd seemed to suddenly realize it. got up.
"Yes, yes, I think I heard my great-grandfather say that there seems to be a Master Longjun on the mountain."
"Huh? I seem to have heard about it before, but it seemed like a legend a long time ago."
"Yes, I remember there was a Dragon Lord. Otherwise, why would this mountain be called Fulong Mountain? But I have forgotten the name of this Dragon Lord."
"Didn't I say that I would call him Mountain King...Oh, Mountain King is a compassionate Dragon Lord who has saved the world. As soon as he heard the name of this Dragon Lord, he knew that he was a kind-hearted Dragon Lord."
After the crowd's entrustment... ah, through the echo of the well-educated people in the crowd, more and more villagers became doubtful.
However, the well-known wealthy people and warriors in the gathering area sneered, thinking that it was some kind of liar who was trying to deceive others. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Shen was also a body-refining warrior and had quite a bit of a chivalrous reputation, he had to be kicked out. Can't leave.
Although there were doubts, Xu Shen was not angry. He endured the fatigue that had not yet recovered, and tried his best to spread the word that with the protection of the Dragon King, the villagers would not be attacked by demons even if they settled in the mountains.
"Although it's a bit bitter on the mountain, it's better than being killed by those thieves, having your wife and daughter humiliated, and having all your property plundered." Xu Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead and advised with a hoarse voice.
Gradually, some villagers were tempted, but no one in the hesitant crowd dared to take the lead. Xu Shen suppressed his anxiety and continued to move to the next gathering place until the evening.
That night, a harsh thunder suddenly sounded, waking up the already panicked people. Then some sleepy-eyed villagers were shocked to see a huge golden dragon-man phantom emerging in the mountains.
The phantom of the dragon man seemed to be waving to the villagers at the gathering place. When the doubtful and uneasy people were at a loss, someone suddenly shouted: "Then... isn't that the Lord Dragon Lord who saved the world with mercy from the mountain king?"
Then more and more people shouted: "It's Master Longjun, the Mountain King. Is it Master Longjun who is waving to us?!"
"Master Long Jun, please bow to me!"
"Quickly, kowtow to Mr. Longjun and ask Mr. Longjun to save us!"
The noisy crowd was like a chaotic flock of sheep. With the leader kneeling down to worship, more people chose to place their hopes in the unreachable gods amid fear and confusion.
Just like fans and idols.
In the forest, Tian Huan glanced at the two shivering buskers, and said kindly: "Don't be afraid, I am really a dragon king who has just awakened, but my strength has not been restored yet. If you can If you help me regain my strength, how about I make you two gods and grant you immortality?"
These two entertainers are not Qi refining monks. They just have ancestral illusion skills. They were hired by Xu Shen with a lot of money to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Under normal circumstances, this magic trick can only scare ordinary people. People with a little knowledge can Scoff.
However, with the current chaos of war and the still cold winter months, the villagers in the wild no longer have much ability to distinguish. Even a few body-refining warriors murmured in the crowd.
Is it really the Dragon King who appears? !
If you want to deceive people, the most important thing is to deceive people.
As long as the weak points of people's hearts are identified, doctors from famous universities, social elites and even high-ranking officials are often deceived, and the deceiver may even be illiterate.
The weakness of the people's hearts at the foot of the mountain is that they are eager to find a safe haven that can allow them to avoid the killings and plunder of bandits and to avoid the invasion of monsters and monsters.
When Xu Shen's figure reappeared the next day, the attitude of the villagers became much more enthusiastic, and then near noon, another assist came.
Several bloodied and depressed villagers brought news that another village had been massacred by black knight thieves.
To enter the mountain, you must enter the mountain. If you don't enter the mountain, you will die. If you enter the mountain, you may not die. If you are really protected by Mr. Long, you may still be able to live in the mountain.
With such a good wish, someone who dared to be the first to eat crabs finally came out, and soon there were more and more people. Xu Shen became a life-saving straw in the eyes of everyone who wanted to escape into the mountain.
In the next few days, Xu Shen kept wandering around various gathering places. Relying on the threat of killing by the black knight bandits, more and more villagers were willing to enter the mountains. Moreover, people have a herd mentality, and the weaker they are. , the more so.
However, there are some people who, although they plan to go into the mountains to escape, do not intend to follow Xu Shen. They plan to use their family villages as a group and settle in the mountains on their own.
Xu Shen naturally did not have the energy to take care of those people. As more and more people followed Xu Shen into the mountains, they also attracted the attention of the black-riding bandits who were hunting and harvesting everywhere.
However, these black knight thieves who came to carry out the killing orders did not know that they would also become targets of killing.
The sword in Tian Huan's hand was already thirsty.
