The moonlight fell on the earth, bright and bright, but it could not illuminate the hearts of the group of people kneeling on the ground.
The three of them, a thin monkey, a bearded man, and a tall man, formed a semicircle and blocked the escape route of this group of people.
Looking at the trembling people in front of him, the kind smile on Shouhou's thin face had long since faded. He was holding the sickle in his hand and said in a sinister tone, "Those who know better will spend all their money on them." Hand it over."
The middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf held a blue leather bundle in her arms. After hearing this, she subconsciously grabbed the bundle in her hand. Her child was sick and her family could not afford more money, so she had to go back to her parents' home for help.
Who would have thought that after asking for money, he would not be able to return home.
When she left, her child was still sick. Now she has not returned, and she doesn't know what happened to her child. The money left in the bag was her child's life-saving money.
"We... once we pay the money, can we be let go?" Someone said, with an expectant look on his face.
The scholar in white lowered his head and sighed softly.
"If you give me money, everything will be easy to talk about," Shouhou laughed. It's good to be willing to cooperate. He didn't mind coaxing, "We only want money, not life."
Even though many people have concerns about this, there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. As long as they want to survive, they don't have many choices.
The person who asked the question made some noise first. He took out all the money from his arms, a full purse, and even a jade pendant with slight impurities hanging on his waist. He took it off with a flattering smile on his face. , handed the thin monkey with both hands.
The thin monkey held up the sickle in one hand, took the purse and jade pendant in the other, weighed it with satisfaction, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You know what's going on. Let's go."
The thin monkey turned sideways and got out of the way, and the tall and bearded man also gave way half of his body. The man who paid the money timidly looked at a few people, then looked at the people kneeling around him, lowered his head and He stood up and walked out. When he passed Shouhou and others, he even shook his body.
They reached the edge of the jungle without being stopped. The man's face lit up with joy and he hurriedly rushed into the jungle and ran down the mountain without looking back.
And Shouhou and others had no intention of catching up.
The rest of the people saw that someone actually paid money to keep him safe. Suddenly, many people had their minds wandering, one and two. As soon as the man left, there were several people vying to pay.
Thin Monkey snorted coldly, "You guys go to the side and wait first, and we will leave one by one later."
The scythe he held pointed to the side. It was still the edge of the cliff, but it was still some distance away. Those who paid the money obediently went over and waited.
The scholar in white mingled with the crowd, paid the money obediently, and stood at the edge of the crowd, closest to the dense forest.
The middle-aged man also paid the money, looked around, and stood behind the scholar in white.
Soon, only the woman in the headscarf was left who was still reluctant to hand over the burden. The people next to her persuaded her, "Give up your money, save your life, and you can still make more!"
The woman's eyes were red and she sobbed, "But this is my child's life-saving money!"
"Oh! Even if you die, the money won't reach the child! The child still has a mother!" A kind-hearted person pulled the woman and persuaded her in a low voice.
The woman sobbed and cried twice, and finally handed over the baggage and went out, but she seemed to have lost her energy. Some of her legs were weak and her feet were weak and she couldn't stand, so she fell to the ground.
The thin monkey and the others smiled and put their wallets in the baggage. The three of them looked at each other. The thin monkey nodded slightly, and a stern look flashed in the eyes of the bearded and tall man.
The two of them stood aside, raised their butcher knives, and walked toward the anxious crowd.
"You! What do you want to do!"
Someone screamed and looked at Shouhou and the others with shocked eyes.
"What are you doing? Of course I will send you on your way!" The bearded man chuckled and slashed with the knife, scaring everyone back until they retreated to the edge of the cliff.
There was an abyss behind them, and everyone was jostling each other. No one dared to step back or step forward, and they were teetering on the edge of the cliff.
"Jump down, I'll take you down."
The bearded knife slashed across the ground, splashing sparks, with a fierce look on his face.
Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, some cried bitterly, and some cursed angrily. The bearded man and the tall and muscular man ignored them all. The two raised their butcher knives and chopped them down without mercy.
Amidst the exclamations, the crowd dropped to the bottom of the cliff like dumplings.
The scholar in white wanted to run, but his way was blocked by Beard's knife. He kicked him out and fell off the cliff.
They are all ordinary people with no strength. Bearded and tall men can easily throw people off the cliff one by one, and all traces will be covered up.
And they can easily continue this business.
The three of them made another profit, and were about to leave with smiles on their faces. Just as they turned around, they found that their whole bodies were stiff and they could not move, except for one pair of eyeballs that could still move.
"You want to kill someone for money, and you still want to leave?"
A clear and faint voice suddenly sounded, as if it was not an ordinary sound.
The thin monkey's eyes desperately looked back, and in the corner of his eye, he saw a cyan figure as if walking out of the moon palace, drifting into the world, with his wide sleeves fluttering lightly, and those who should have fallen under the cliff floated one by one. It rose up and landed firmly on the ground.
The scholar in white originally thought that he was going to die here. After the clinker fell into the cliff, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then the whole person was like a light feather, hanging in mid-air.
When he turned around, he saw that everyone around him was like him.
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear voice.
The scholar in white suddenly raised his head and saw a bright moon in the sky. A blue figure seemed to be stepping on the moon. The moonlight dimmed his face, but his figure and demeanor did not look like a human being.
The clouds are made of clouds, and they are not stained by the dust of the world.
One glance was startling, the other was infatuated, and I suspected that it was a fairy descending to Yaotai.
Back on the cliff again, the scholar in white, the thin monkey and others all looked at the stunning shadow under the moon with dull eyes.
Lingchu didn't expect that when he passed by, he would encounter a dirty business involving money and death.
There was no need to say anything. Lingchu glanced at the three thin monkeys with indifferent eyes. The next moment, the three people's eyes were dull and they collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
She directly cut off the lives of the three people with her spiritual consciousness, simply and neatly.
"Qingkong, stop playing."
With rustling sounds, there was a movement in the dense forest. A snow-white tiger lazily walked out of the forest, its tail flicking. The person wrapped in it had his head hanging down and his limbs were limp. As the tail flicked, his hands, feet and head began to move. Followed by a flick.
At the sudden sight of this majestic white tiger, the originally sluggish crowd exclaimed and subconsciously took a few steps back.
But they saw that White Tiger didn't even look at them. With a flick of his tail, the man with his head hanging down was thrown to the side of Slender Monkey and the others. Although there was no movement even after being beaten like this, it was probably a disaster.
Then, they watched as the ferocious white tiger jumped up, turned into a snow-white cat, and fell lightly into the arms of the fairy-like woman under the moon.
Lingchu held Qingkong in his arms, looked down at the mortals below and wanted to leave, but his eyes paused slightly on one of them.
