Ah! It turns out he is also a bandit leader.
Li Changan shook his head and just asked: "Is there any tea?"
This nonsense sentence caught the old monk off guard. He was stunned for a long time before he took off a water bag from his waist and threw it over.
Li Changan took it, raised his hand and poured it into his mouth. He got up early and was on his way, so his mouth was a little dry.
Seeing him drinking happily, the old monk couldn't help but ask: "Since Taoist Master knows that I am from the green forest, why am I still so calm and composed?"
Li Changan glanced at him and didn't answer, but suddenly drew his sword.
At this moment, as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed, a hundred and ten gangsters suddenly appeared under the bushes and grass around the pavilion, holding knives and swords. Many of the gangsters also had bows and crossbows in their hands. Counting them, there were probably more than a hundred. With just one command, the people in the pavilion can be shot into honeycombs.
But as soon as Gangster No. 100 emerged, Li Changan sheathed his sword and took a big sip from his water bag. The gangsters who were at war with each other just now couldn't help but look at each other, whether it was to stand up or to retreat.
Looking at the old monk's demeanor and listening to his words, this person was either the so-called Jiu Jinliang or the leader of the Jiu Jinliang gang. How could such a bandit leader not be prepared after knowing how powerful Li Changan was?
"Taoist Master Xuanxiao is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
The old monk nodded and praised a few times, waved his hand for the gangsters to put away their battles, and said:
"The Taoist Master made me laugh again, to be honest..." A smile appeared on the old monk's face, "Our original intention was to ambush the Taoist Master here!"
Li Changan didn't show any emotion at all. He just threw the water bag back, wiped his mouth and asked, "Why did you change your mind again?"
If he wanted to ambush Li Changan, the old monk would not appear in the pavilion.
"My old brother did not overestimate his abilities, but fortunately he was merciful with the long sword." The old monk clasped his fists and bowed, "How can we repay such kindness with enmity?"
Li Changan sneered and glanced at the gangsters who walked out of the ambush. The meaning was self-evident.
The old monk laughed.
"I just came to invite the Taoist priest to my Lan Ruo Panheng for a while to express my gratitude. As for these boys..." The old monk smiled openly, "They are just worried about my safety. After all, who in my generation would dare to show up alone? In front of Taoist Master Xuanxiao?"
Being able to say this so openly is a skill. Li Changan slowly took a few glances around. The gangsters had surrounded him and blocked the area around the pavilion. Although they had put away their weapons, hundreds of pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on Li Changan. I'm afraid that if he makes even the slightest move, he will be cut into pieces with random knives!
But……
"If we attack now, how many people on the other side can we kill before being killed?"
The idea flashed out of Li Changan's mind. He unconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword. This action alone made the atmosphere at the scene so tense that it seemed to condense, and the foreheads of the bandits who were close were even covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Li Changan came back from his thoughts, glanced at the gangsters who were so nervous that they were about to "go off fire", sneered and ignored them, and just faced the old monk.
"Is there any meat?"
"The elk we just shot yesterday."
"Is there any wine?"
"We have a batch of well-aged Fenjiu."
"Since there is good wine and good meat." Li Changan said with a smile, "then I have to be this guest once!"
……………………
Bandit No. 10 hugged Li Changan to a temple.
After entering the temple gate, the old monk took him into a side hall.
All the Bodhisattvas in the side hall were evacuated, but a statue of Guan Gong was erected on the throne of Tathagata Buddha. On the forehead of the statue was a nondescript plaque - Pray for Heaven.
It’s only right to “steal” for heaven!
Li Changan cursed and took a quick look.
A banquet was made in the place vacated by the Bodhisattva in the side hall. The banquet was filled with pancakes, dried meats, melons and fruits. There was also a whole deer roasting in the center of the hall. Oil was being dripped into the fire, so he was not afraid of the smell of the meat wafting into the Buddha. In the nose.
The old monk asked Li Changan to sit at the table, but Li Changan did not refuse. He wanted to see what kind of plane the old bandit leader wanted to build?
After that, people came one after another in the hall, and the seats were quickly filled.
The one in charge was the old man with the flying sword.
The old monk introduced them one by one:
"This is Geer Baldy from Luofen Mountain..."
"This is Wu Dayou from Black Wind Village..."
"This is the tailless member of the Hengshui Gang..."
Name them one by one. Good guy! The leaders of most of the bandits and thieves in Hebei Province are here!
After calling the names in one breath, the old monk shouted with a straight face:
"Why don't you come and see Taoist Master Xuanxiao soon!"
The bandit leaders below yelled for a while, with confusion, jealousy, hatred, indifference... all kinds of looks were given to them, and Li Changan only snorted a few times in his nose, all in response, and then he should eat and drink!
I have to say, this roasted deer technique is really good!
At the end, the people at the table dispersed. After Li Changan was full of wine and food, he patted his belly and asked lazily: "What do you mean, old gentleman?"
The old monk chuckled and changed from a gangster to a doughy old monk.
"I just want my subordinate to meet the Taoist priest. If I accidentally bump into the Taoist priest in the future, I might as well ask the Taoist priest to show mercy for the sake of today's kindness."
Li Changan shook his head.
"The old man was joking. I rely on the convenient terrain on Snake Head Mountain, but if I move to an open area, a dozen bows can shoot me into a sieve."
Although the other party was full of compliments, Li Changan knew very well in his heart. So what if you are good at martial arts? Monsters and monsters won’t compete with you! The bandit leader won't challenge you to a duel... Well, there is actually someone here to challenge you.
But all in all, how could Hebei Province Green Forest Manager worry about just one person and one sword? When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
"Please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Taoist Master, you are humble." The old monk pondered for a while, then changed the subject, "I do have something to ask for."
He clapped his hands and called, "Feifei, why don't you come over and see the Taoist Master?"
As he said this, a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old walked in outside the room.
The old monk explained: "This is my only son Feifei."
The thief's son? Li Changan couldn't help but look over. This young man was wearing a green gown and his eyebrows were lowered. Although his face is rough and yellowish, his posture is demure. Anyone who takes a first look at him will think that he is a Confucian student. If the old monk hadn't spoken, no one would have guessed that he was a little bandit.
The old monk sent Feifei away and turned to ask Li Changan: "How is my son Feifei?"
Doesn't look like your species. Li Changan slandered, but said calmly: "Ling Gongzi's spiritual platform is clear, it doesn't seem to be contaminated by evil spirits."
The old monk was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, his expression showing a bit of the majesty of a thief.
"Taoist Priest is joking. I'm here to build a golden beam, so no evildoer dares to cause trouble!"
Li Changan glanced at him and said nothing.
He was right. Most of the generals on the battlefield and the giants in the green forest were so evil that ordinary demons would not dare to approach them. Li Changan didn't know the art of looking at Qi, and he couldn't see the evil aura, but this Jinliang was known as the master of the green forest in Hebei Province, so it must be full of evil aura.
At this time, the old monk suddenly sighed, which aroused Li Changan's interest. This man had been switching back and forth between the gangster and the old monk, and this was the first time he sighed.
"I don't want to hide it from the Taoist priest, I also have a name, Xu Chongdao."
"Xu Chongdao? Xu Dashanren?" Li Changan exclaimed.
Don't blame him for making such a fuss, if anyone else was here, his jaw would probably drop. Even though Li Changan had only been in this world for a short time, the words "Xu Chongdao" still resonated loudly in his ears.
This person is known as the richest man in Hebei Province, and he is also the most kind person in Hebei Province. He donated money when the south suffered from floods, when the north suffered from drought, he donated money, when the imperial court rebelled, he donated money, and when the Turkic invaders invaded the border, he also donated money. In peacetime, he donated money to build bridges and roads, and to help the vulnerable and the poor. Li Changan often heard people say on the road - If you can't survive, go and seek refuge with Xu Dashan!
Unexpectedly, the kind man turned out to be a big bandit, and all the donated money was stolen!
The old monk clasped his hands together and recited "Amitabha" before continuing:
"I have been doing this business for a long time, and I have made some money, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. Now that I am old, I deeply feel that I have sinned deeply, so I want to quit and wash my hands in the golden basin and change my past mistakes. Do more good deeds and accumulate virtue..."
Li Changan lowered his eyes and thought he was farting.
"...But Feifei refuses to retire with me. He wants to be a big thief and refuses to listen to me no matter how much I try to persuade him. Although he is young, his skills have almost caught up with mine. The older generation is dissatisfied, and the younger one is fighting. But he will not implicate his family in the future."
With that said, the old monk left the table and bowed solemnly to Li Changan.
"Please Taoist Priest, please remove this evil obstacle for me!"
……………………
The old monk introduced Li Changan into the Main Hall.
The hall is spacious and lined with wooden pillars, but there is only a bronze Buddha with a roof beam at the end of the hall.
Under the Buddha's lowered brows, Feifei stood holding a sword.
He had changed out of his green gown and was wearing a black outfit. His eyebrows were cold and stern at the moment, but he was no longer as modest and courteous as before.
Li Changan's head hurt from seeing it, and he was not a fool.
Remove this evil obstacle for me? The old monk said it neatly. If he really did this, he might not be able to get out of this den of thieves.
Moreover, what the old monk said was very obvious - "The older generation is not convinced by him, and the young ones cannot fight against him." He showed off his power and flattery. He clearly just wanted to let Li Changan beat his son, so that he would know that there is a world outside the world and there are people outside the world, so he had no intention of becoming a big thief.
The door gradually closed with a creaking sound.
The doors in the palace are closed.
Only the dim light filtering through the thick window paper diffused in from the window panes. In front of the altar of the Buddha statue, an oil lamp swayed, illuminating the Buddha's ferocious smile.
"fly……"
Li Changan was about to say hello first, but Feifei said nothing and took out a slingshot.
A scream immediately sounded in the air.
Li Changan raised his sword to protect his face, only to hear the clang of gold and iron. His wrist flicked, the floor tiles bounced several times, and a round iron bead landed at his feet.
Feifei raised his neck, snorted coldly, took out another hook rope, threw it on the beam, pulled on the rope three times with his hand, kicked on the pillar twice, then ran up to the beam and hid. On the dark roof.
Li Changan looked up. The light in the palace was dim, and Feifei was wearing black clothes. He could not be seen at all, but Li Changan knew that Feifei must be silently looking for his flaws, waiting for the opportunity to take action.
He simply stood in the center of the hall, calm and composed, waiting for Feifei to take action.
Sure enough, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old cannot keep his composure.
The scream in his ears sounded again.
Li Changan lightly pushed away the iron bead that was shot at him. Before the bead could hit the ground, another iron bead flew towards him.
The screams continued.
In the dim hall, Li Changan wielded his long sword, either picking it up or blocking it. He only heard a continuous "clang" sound, and occasionally a few splashes of fire.
Suddenly, the whistling stopped.
Beads rolled down the hall.
"Stopped?"
Li Changan's ears twitched, and with a slight sound breaking through the air, a bead hit the back of his head.
He quickly used the "Su Qin Back Sword". After a soft sound, he found that the impact force of the bead was much smaller than before.
He looked in the direction in which the beads flew and found a dent in the pillar.
"catapult?"
A wake-up call! Li Changan quickly circled his sword, and the cold blade passed by his ear. The flying blade struck Li Changan's sword, dragging out a string of fire.
He landed on the ground like a civet cat, and then rolled to the side silently. He was behind Li Changan and slashed at Li Changan's calf with his sword.
Li Changan didn't move his feet. He just held the sword in his backhand and stabbed backwards. The tip of the sword was touching Feifei's sword quill.
Feifei's long-prepared blow was cut off by Li Changan's unscrupulous sword move.
He flew back and looked at Li Changan's sword, and then at his own sword, his eyes full of disbelief.
Li Changan then slowly turned around and said with a smile: "That's it for now, how about it?"
After hearing this, Feifei looked angry and stamped her foot.
"Where did the smelly Taoist priest come from with all this nonsense? I am determined not to... Humph!"
As he spoke, he threw the slingshot at him. Li Changan turned his head to avoid it, but Feifei took the opportunity to stab him in the throat with his sword.
Li Changan did not dodge or block, but also stabbed back with his sword straight.
Feifei was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his body had not yet opened up, and the sword he used was shorter than Li Changan's.
The tip of his sword was not close to Li Changan, but the tip of Li Changan's sword was already in front of his eyes.
He had no choice but to retreat, found a position and then attacked relentlessly.
Next, Feifei's offensive was fierce, but in Li Changan's view, it was not as big of a threat as hiding on the beams and shooting slingshots. As the two of them went back and forth, Li Changan Quan thought he was giving him moves, and even seemed a little distracted.
To be honest, swordsmanship is just that. No matter how mysterious it is, you can't escape the words "quick, accurate and ruthless". Today, Li Changan's sword feels like a whole body in his hand. The transformation skills he acquired, "Tongyou" made him strong and flexible, and "Sword Skills" made him agile and quick. The only battle experience he lacked was also wiped out in the fierce battles with demons and bandits during this period.
There are probably not many people in the world who can simply surpass him in martial arts.
As for splitting mountains and rocks with one palm? Swinging a sword brings forth sword energy in all directions? Sorry, there is indeed one, but that thing is usually called a spell.
Although he suddenly transformed from an ordinary person to a martial arts master, Li Changan knew that there was nothing to be proud of. Again, monsters and monsters won’t compete with you.
Li Changan was flying to the sky, but he didn't notice that his slightly dazed expression was completely noticed by Feifei. Young people have strong self-esteem and are the most despised. Feifei also has an extremely arrogant temper. At that moment, his neck was red with anger, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he covered his head and stabbed him with a sword in anger.
Li Chang'an didn't think too much, so he repeated his old trick, using the sword's length to strike back with a sword.
Unexpectedly, Feifei gritted his teeth and twisted his body slightly to avoid the vital point. He would rather hit the tip of the sword with his flesh and blood than give up the sword. It was actually going to create a lose-lose situation.
"Why?"
Li Changan's attention was now focused. At this time, the two of them were extremely close, and it was too late to pull away.
He didn't panic, he just kicked his foot, and a few beads were knocked to the soles of Feifei's feet. Feifei staggered when he stepped on it, and the sword in his hand was deflected. Li Changan used his sword to twist it, and then Get out.
at this time.
The long sword in Li Changan's hand could penetrate Feifei's chest with just a flick of his breath, fulfilling the old monk's "wish", but in the end he still kept his hand. In the flash of lightning, he reluctantly moved the sword edge away, but his body had no time to dodge, and had to let Feifei crash into his arms.
Feifei rushed forward very hard, and when he hit him, Li Changan had already gasped, but the impact that followed was unexpectedly small. This Feifei seems to be lighter than the average teenager.
Li Changan subconsciously looked at his arms, and was a little surprised to find that although Feifei had a rough yellow face, the skin on his neck was white and tender, which was obviously different from the skin on his face. Li Changan just thought that he was crippled by wind and rain, and didn't take it seriously.
But after the fight, Feifei's collar had become a little loose. Li Changan glanced over inadvertently, and suddenly saw that his slightly bulging chest was wrapped in a thick white cloth.
"It's not so bloody!"
Li Changan's heart skipped a beat and he was about to throw Feifei out of his arms.
"do not move!"
Feifei shouted immediately. He didn't know when he had a slingshot in his hand, the rubber band was fully stretched, and an iron ball was ready to go.
"If you move again, I'll replace your eyeballs!"
After saying that, his ferocious expression instantly turned into joy.
"I won?"
Li Changan nodded helplessly, "You win."
"I won!"
Feifei jumped out of Li Changan's arms happily, walked a few steps, suddenly stood still, turned around and looked at Li Changan, then clasped his hands behind his back, walked back and forth happily for a few steps, and suddenly held the slingshot in his hand again. Throw it over.
"Taoist priest, I gave it to you."
Feifei hummed a song and walked out of the hall proudly. Li Changan lowered his head and looked at the slingshot in his hand. It was inlaid with gold and silver and looked like a valuable item.
"well."
There was a faint sigh from the side, and Li Changan glanced sideways. He saw the old monk hanging from the beam by the hook rope, but he was hiding aside from the beginning to the end, watching the whole thing. This family is really from the same origin.
"Even the Taoist Master was defeated by that evil spirit's skills. In this way, no one can stop him."
Hearing this, Li Changan's face showed a rare hint of sarcasm.
"Demons are rampant in this world." He glanced at the old monk Ruowuowu, "What does it mean if there is just one more thief?"
He weighed the slingshot in his hand and threw it into the old monk's arms.
"Give it to you."
