More than twenty handymen were summoned, tremblingly waiting for the monster leader's lecture. Unlike those cultivators, these ordinary people who had no spiritual roots and no martial arts qualifications had no idea of resistance at all.
Even if the monsters slaughter and cook them on the spot, they don't have the guts to resist and escape. This is also the dilemma of ordinary people in this world.
Without the protection of the powerful forces, they had no ability to survive. It was precisely for this reason that when faced with the massacre and plunder of the black knight bandits, the villagers still did not dare to easily enter the mountains to take shelter.
Because there is death outside the mountain, and there is a high probability of death in the mountain. If Tian Huan had not claimed to protect the villagers in the name of Longjun, those villagers would have hesitated at the foot of the mountain for a long time, until the black cavalry came to kill them. Perhaps under the threat of death, he mustered up the courage to escape into the mountains.
It is precisely because of this that after the Black Riders left, those rural people thought of leaving the mountains and returning to the government's rule. Even if the taxes became increasingly heavy, they would eventually have a way to survive.
These more than twenty handymen include cooks, tailors, laundresses, masons, carpenters, painters, etc., and many of them hold multiple jobs. In Tian Huan's eyes, these handymen are even better than those prisoners. The Taoist Taoist still has value.
"Listen, my commander-in-chief is kind-hearted and doesn't like cannibalism. As long as you serve carefully, you can save your life. But if anyone dares to deliberately neglect or try to escape, he will be killed without mercy!" Abao did not want to be spared! He spoke with anger, but the evil spirit was lingering, and the demonic power appeared on its own. The frightened servants fell to their knees one after another, not even daring to say a word.
"Those who can repair houses will stand in one team. Later, they will clean out the collapsed bricks and wood at the Taoist temple gate, and then repair them. Those who can cook will stand on the other side. They will go to the kitchen to cook later. What are you waiting for? Cook, just do what you want now, and for the rest, follow me and bury the bodies."
Xue Ping, who came out of the solitary room, was standing in the crowd of handymen in fear. When he heard Ah Bao saying that he was going to take people to bury the body, his heart skipped a beat and he almost froze. Then he thought about whether to bury only the monster's body. Corpse?
It wasn't until a moment later that Xue Ping and other handymen dragged the Taoist corpses with only a thin coat of clothing to a low-lying land in the foggy forest in the back mountain for burial, that they finally confirmed that this group of monsters really didn't intend to eat human.
Since he won't even eat ready-made dead people, he can't insist on eating living people. How can there be such a poor and sophisticated monster? Xue Ping's heavy heart finally felt a little relieved.
Xue Ping's eyes flashed across the pale corpses of his classmates, and he avoided them guiltily. The three division commanders, including Taoist Qingyang, the seven senior brothers and sisters, and a dozen Taoist boys like him, as well as the ten Taoist soldiers, At this time, they were all dead, and the corpses were all crowded in a pit. When the soil was pushed down by the shovel, Xue Ping's eyes were sore, and he suddenly felt that the classmates who had bullied him in the pit were also like this. Makes people miss it.
Abao held the long knife and watched the servants burying the corpses of the Taoists. He felt a little pity in his heart. He felt that the commander was too wasteful. The law in the mountains is that the weak eat the strong. The corpses of prey are eaten by predators. It is only natural. .
On the contrary, this approach of killing without eating and burying in the soil is too extravagant, but then again, the law in the mountains is that power is greater than all else. Since the boss has given such an order, you must implement it if you understand it, and you must implement it if you don't understand it.
Anyway, Abao doesn't think human flesh is much more delicious than animal meat. Maybe the body of a cultivator is more spiritual and nutritious, but the monster beast is not bad, and even chewier.
After the handymen finished burying the Taoist corpses, they took shovels and dug a hole on the other side. This time, they first squeezed a dozen small monsters together and buried them in the soil, and then dug another hole. There were four separate pits, and the corpses of the four demon soldiers wrapped in straw mats were stuffed into each pit.
These demon soldiers use demon power to transform their own structures and become half-human and half-animal forms. They are different from illusions and transformations, so they will not turn back into beast bodies after death, including Abao's own current state.
However, when monsters pass through the tribulation, they have to return to their original animal form. After passing through the tribulation, ordinary monsters can master the ability to transform into humans or humanoids, and have the transformation of two or even three forms, but the transformation Whether it can be transformed completely is closely related to the monster's intelligence and mind.
Some monsters think that animal heads are more powerful, so they will deliberately transform into half humans and half beasts. Some monsters are not spiritual enough and want to transform completely but cannot achieve it. After reluctantly transforming, some parts such as ears and ears are left behind. Animal shapes such as horns and tails.
The animal body and the human body have their own advantages and disadvantages. The former is more suitable for exerting all the magical powers of monsters, and is suitable for fighting with full combat power. The latter is more suitable for enlightenment and cultivation, and it is convenient to use weapons and magic weapons.
Human beings also have some sects and sects that cultivate the body of beasts. They can fuse demon blood into their own bodies and transform into powerful beast bodies to fight for their lives during battle.
Demons can transform into humans, and humans can transform into demons. Of the thousands of paths, how many can lead directly to immortality, and how many people have that kind of luck? Most practitioners will eventually have to climb up the road in twists and turns, and it is inevitable that they will again There is a cultivation method similar to convergent evolution.
Seeing the servants burying the corpses of the demon soldiers, I realized that the commander-in-chief Abao was indeed kind-hearted. Many monster forces did not even waste the corpses of their own dead demon soldiers after fighting.
After the handymen buried all the bodies, they all seemed to feel more at ease, and when they followed Ah Bao back to the Taoist Temple, their faces were less panicked.
"So...those monsters are really different."
The next day, after Qingxuan listened to Xue Ping's report, his expression became much more relaxed. Everyone who crowded around looked at each other in shock.
The pale-faced Qinglu Taoist said with suspicion: "What's the difference? Maybe it's just the tricks of those monsters. It's just that we don't know what tricks those monsters are trying to play at the moment."
Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked at his senior brother and said: "No matter what tricks those monsters are playing, we can't do anything about it. We are slaves and we are fish and meat. We can only hope that we can still be of some use in the eyes of those monsters."
Everyone was silent after hearing this. Whether they were filled with resentment or were shocked and frightened, as long as they didn't want to die at this moment, they could only think about the good.
There were originally more than seventy monks in the Taoist temple. Excluding the seven who had not returned home, more than thirty people were killed in the battle. The remaining Taoists who were still alive, including the five young Taoist boys under the age of twelve, There were only thirty people, two-thirds of whom were men and one-third of whom were women, crowded into three connected solitary rooms.
A few days later, Hu Changsheng took Li Dujiao and his demon soldiers to Wulin Taoist Temple and took over the government affairs from A Bao.
"The original plan needs to be slightly changed. In the future, this place will be changed into the dojo of Shanwang Longjun. This place is more than a hundred miles away from Xu Shen, not far or close. It is only more than two hundred miles away from Qianlong Valley. The distance between the two sides is It just so happens that we will use this place as the key link between the mountains outside and inside the mountains from now on." Tian Huan, whose upper body was covered with bandages, was sitting in the main hall of the Taoist temple, proudly arranging the next step of the work.
Although Danyuan Taoist Temple looks decent, it is not really a Taoist temple, and it does not worship any ancestors or protectors. There is only a hundred sketches hanging in the main hall, which looks quite simple.
According to Tian Huan's wishes, a statue of a god with a dragon's head and human body should be placed in the main hall in the future. It is best to be made of pure gold, not a cheap clay statue, and at least the bronze body must be gold-plated.
