When the old villager heard that Mo Zui started 'talking nonsense' again, he quickly shouted: "You kid, you are still talking nonsense."
Murong Tianji smiled and said to the old man: "Don't worry, old man, leave it to us."
He persuaded the villagers to leave, and then explained to Mo Zui: "We originally wanted to ask for directions, but the villagers mistakenly thought that we were sent by the so-called expert. We only heard half of it just now. We don't know exactly what happened. "
Only then did Mo Zui realize that it was indeed a misunderstanding, so he explained what he knew about the situation. Chen Mobai and others understood the general outline of the matter.
There is an ancient town on the mountain not far from Niutou Village. It was left over from the lively days. It was also occupied by some bandits. Now it is just an abandoned town. And just over two months ago, the so-called expert passed through this place. He first suppressed the evildoers on Niutou Mountain, and then said that he would rebuild a new town on the basis of the ancient town so that the people of Niutou Village and nearby areas could have a better life. A better place to live and better food to eat. Afterwards, some people were gathered from nowhere, and some strong men were taken away from the village. It is said that manpower is needed to repair the ancient town, but the accommodation is limited, so they can only gradually pick up people in the mountains as the project progresses. In addition, the expert would also send some dried meat every few days to distribute to the people in the village, so he gained the trust of the villagers. After Mo Zui ate something, he realized something was wrong. The more he thought about the whole thing, the more problematic it became. He cursed the master and was knocked unconscious by a villager when he was about to go find him and locked up.
"Knocked out by the villagers and imprisoned? Are you so useless... Ah, no, then this person is indeed a good person." Ding Diandian said in surprise after hearing this.
"A good person? A good person will give human flesh to the villagers!"
Chen Mobai and the others suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this.
"I passed by here that day and I had no dry food on me. I just wanted to ask for some food to satisfy my hunger. I didn't expect that the people in the village were very enthusiastic. When I first heard about what that person did, I thought he was such a kind deed. He should be a good person, but as a villager When the dried meat was brought up, I could tell with one bite that it was definitely not animal meat, but human flesh."
"How can you conclude that it is human flesh, have you eaten it?" Ding Diandian asked.
"I haven't eaten it, but apart from human flesh, there is no meat that I haven't eaten."
Chen Mobai answered: "Whether it was human flesh is another matter. I already felt something strange when the old man was talking to us just now. As for the doubts, I don't know. I just feel that it is a bit strange that such a mysterious expert suddenly appeared."
"That's true, but haven't these villagers ever gone to the mountains to see it?"
"I also asked this question when I was imprisoned. I said that bandits in the past left many traps in the woods and on the mountain roads. It was too dangerous for ordinary people to enter them rashly, so they sent people to pick them up every time."
"It seems that it's shady. If you want to know the truth, you have to go up and take a look."
The misunderstanding between several people was solved and the matter was basically clear. Chen Mobai said to Mo Zui: "In this case, we don't know each other even if we don't fight. Brother Mo, why don't you work with us on this matter."
Mo Zui readily agreed, and the others started planning.
"Old man." Not long after, Murong Tianji found the old man who had talked to them at the beginning.
"Young hero, how is that young man?"
Murong Tianji explained that they had completely surrendered to Mo Zui, and they also roughly understood the good deeds of the master. Since they were passing by and wanted to do their part, they might as well wait for the next pick-up time to pick them up.
"I don't dare. There are a few people who are not relatives of us in Niutou Village, so we don't dare." The old man refused hurriedly.
"Don't get me wrong, old man. We are people who travel around to increase our experience. This is the same reason for coming to Niutoushan this time. It would be a good thing if we could rebuild the once lively town by chance. Moreover, we can meet the people you mentioned. People with high status are actually destined to do good deeds, as the saying goes, you will get good results."
When the old man saw that Murong Tianji had a dignified appearance, a righteous look on his brows, and the certainty of his words, he finally agreed.
In the next few days, Chen Mobai and the others got to know the villagers in Niutou Village. They went to each house to help when needed. When they had nothing to do, they chatted about family affairs. They became more familiar with the current situation of the village and got closer to the villagers. Come on. A lot of good feelings.
At the same time, several people and Mo Zui have also become familiar with each other in the past few days. This person is usually carefree and has the boldness and righteousness of people in the world. The martial arts he practices is called Jiyi Gong. After practicing it to the extreme, he can truly master the physical and martial arts and defeat all kinds of skills with his fists. However, he has not yet reached this level, but he accidentally discovered that drinking alcohol can better display this martial arts. I wanted to learn, so I took a wine bottle with me. It's just that after drinking, the boxing skills become more powerful, but the strength is difficult to control, so it is not easy to perform martial arts after drinking.
"Isn't this just a drunken act?" Ding Diandian whispered to Chen Mobai.
"Well, it seems the wine is not very good."
"I heard you! But having said that, Brother Chen, I think your martial arts are not bad at all. What kind of martial arts are you practicing?"
"I grew up in the mountains. I am not from any sect. My grandfather taught me martial arts."
"I wonder why I can't see where your skills come from."
Ding Diandian curled his lips and said, "It sounds like you know the martial arts of all sects."
"Hey~ I can't say that I understand everything, but if you are using the unique martial arts of various sects, I will definitely be able to recognize it."
Murong Tianji asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, I don't know which sect Brother Mo comes from."
"I grew up in the Sanren Gang when I was a child, but I never joined a gang. The person who taught me martial arts was an asshole old man. He only taught me for a while when he was happy, but I haven't seen him for many years."
"No wonder, the Sanren Gang has gathered people from various martial arts circles in the east, west, south, and north, and many of them have connections with major sects. It's not surprising that over time, they have become familiar with the martial arts of various sects."
Chen Mobai had never heard of it, so he asked: "There are people from various sects in the Sanren Gang?"
"No, no, no~"
Ding Diandian took the opportunity to spread common sense in the martial arts world. Each sect in the martial arts has its own rules, but most of them do not allow disciples to switch to other sects. However, there are also people who have been expelled from the sect or rebelled against the sect. These people usually It is not allowed to pass on the secret knowledge of the previous sect. If you violate it, you will inevitably be hunted down by the sect. At the least, your cultivation will be abolished, and at the worst, the sect will be cleaned up. However, if this person joins the Sanren Gang, it is equivalent to having protection and cannot be taught openly. However, it is inevitable that someone will secretly learn a trick or a half, and it is not good for various sects to openly quarrel with the Sanren Gang over such things. turn.
"The Sanren Gang is also one of the Five Demons and Eight Saints?"
"No." Murong Tianji explained: "The Sanren Gang is special. It was founded by Qingfeng Sanren, and it accepts all the martial arts practitioners who have no sect in the world. Initially, it was through Qingfeng Sanren's guidance that everyone improved. , after that, more and more people joined the Sanren Gang, and the types of martial arts became more complex. People with high understanding can open up new paths after integrating them, and a slightly lower level of Baijiaquan is enough to travel around the world. "
"Although the Sanren Gang is not the Five Demons and the Eight Saints, don't look down on it. The Sanren Gang has members all over the place, and their hands and eyes are very good. Even major sects and the imperial court may have to turn to the Sanren Gang to buy information if they want to know some secrets of the world. "
"Not bad, you girl is quite knowledgeable." Mo Zui praised.
"What are you proud of? You are not the leader or elder of the Sanren Gang. You are not even a member of the Sanren Gang."
"Why!!"
"Here comes someone." Murong Tianji suddenly said.
At the entrance of the village, there were several people smiling and saying hello to the villagers. They handed over the processed meat to the villagers and invited them to go up the mountain together.
Seeing the meat, Mo Zui couldn't restrain himself. Chen Mobai quickly grabbed him for fear that he would be impulsive.
"Not only will you not be able to convince the villagers if you turn your back now, it will also make us passive."
"Damn! When I think about the possibility that the meat came from the villagers who were taken away..."
After taking a deep breath, Murong Tianji stepped forward to greet the old man before him and said, "Uncle, are these the foods that the adult sent over?"
Before the old man could speak, one of the delivery people asked, "This one looks strange. Who is he?"
Murong Tianji quickly replied: "A few of our companions went out to seek a living very early. The situation was not good. We just returned to the village a few days ago. When we heard the elders in the village talking about the good deeds of wise men, we thought that we should go out and blindly If you work hard, why not come back and follow the adults to benefit the village."
The other party carefully looked at Murong Tianji and the few young people behind him. At this time, Chen Mobai and others had already changed into the clothes of the villagers, and there were still some stains on their faces and bodies.
"Aunt Wang, let me help you."
Chen Mobai saw the villagers on one side carrying things and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Ding Diandian also quickly dragged Mo Zui up to help, and sent the old man away with an excuse, fearing that he might have said something wrong.
"Oh, Mr. Chen is still very energetic."
Seeing that the few people seemed to be very familiar with the villagers, the man smiled and said: "Well, it's the young people who work quickly. They quickly repaired the town and everyone can move there."
"Do we need to bring any tools?"
"You don't need to bring anything, they are all over there."
"I'm used to sleeping on my own bedding, can you let me take it with me?" Ding Diandian asked pitifully from the side.
"You don't need to bring anything with you...forget it, if you insist, just bring it with you."
Ding Diandian and Murong Tianji looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, several people followed him up the mountain and entered the ancient town.
"This is the once bustling town." Mo Zui said, looking at the broken city wall.
"Aren't you from Niutou Village? Why haven't you been to this ancient town before?"
Murong Tianji explained: "I saw it from a distance when I was a child, but this place was often occupied by bandits, and I didn't dare to go near it at that time."
The other party hesitated a little, but after thinking that there was nothing wrong with it, he didn't ask any more questions.
Ding Diandian came up and whispered, "Don't delay things by talking nonsense."
Mo Zuipai smiled and closed his mouth.
After entering the ancient town, everyone found that it was not very big. Some houses could indeed be lived in after a short rest, but they did not see anyone carrying out repair work along the way.
In surprise, they came to a large dilapidated house, and several people were taken to the middle.
"Why are there such young people?" someone who was already in the house asked.
"They say he just came back from a trip, but it doesn't look like it to me."
Chen Mobai and the others heard that something was wrong, but they still took them up the mountain even though they had been suspected for a long time. This showed that the other party was confident.
"It doesn't matter. Since you are here to die, then just stay."
While he was talking, someone was already blocking his way.
When Chen Mobai and others saw that they had been discovered, there was no need to pretend anymore. They shook off their bedding bit by bit, and Chen Mobai and Murong Tianji took out the iron rods and swords hidden in them.
Mo Zui stepped forward and said, "Answer me three questions first. Who are you? Where are the people who were taken up the mountain before? What is the purpose of doing this?"
At this time, the other party no longer looked kind and friendly, and all of them had vicious looks on their faces.
"A dying person, why are you asking so many questions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Tianji was already at his side, with his sword on his neck and said, "It's better to answer first."
No one in the room expected Murong Tianji's movement to be so fast. It seemed that he had encountered a tough situation today.
"Bye bye, we were originally on the Niutoushan Mountain, but we moved here later. All the people who were brought here are dead..."
"Where's the corpse!" Murong Tianji had vaguely guessed it.
"The corpse, the corpse...the corpse...has been fed to...the villagers..."
Although they had guessed it, everyone was still furious. Murong Tianji felt a tremor all over his body, and it went straight to the top of his head. With a wave of his hand, blood splashed, and the opponent fell to the ground.
When the others saw that Murong Tianji had killed their men, they immediately surrounded them. However, how could ordinary grass bandits be the opponents of Chen Mobai and Mo Zui, so they quickly eliminated all the gangsters.
"These people are just ordinary bandits. There is no need to go around in such a big circle and harm the villagers of Niutou Village."
Mo Zui picked up a random person from among the people lying on the ground, raised his fist and shouted: "Speak!"
