It's so magical that I accidentally took on a disciple.
Separating from the Yang family at the crossroads, Yang Sinian waved his little hand.
"Shihu, remember to come to me!"
"good--"
Watch them leave until their backs disappear.
Some melancholy, some emotion.
"The little apprentice is very cute."
Li Qiuran stood beside her, turned around, led the horse, and jumped on the horse's back.
"Of course he's cute, mainly because I think this kid has a high emotional intelligence." Zhang Qingyuan also jumped on the horse.
"Hey, how do you think he knew you were the master's wife? Are we really so talented and beautiful?"
Looking at his shameless face, Li Qiuran snorted.
"snort!"
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhang Qingyuan suddenly turning his horse's head.
"What do you want to do?" Li Qiuran was confused.
Zhang Qingyuan said: "Do the bandits with dozens of people have no assets?"
As a human being, you can't waste. You should know that every meal and every grain is hard-earned, and material resources are difficult.
Li Qiuran was confused for a moment, and then realized that this was his style.
Su held the reins with his hand and turned the horse's head.
The two returned to the place where they met the bandit. Among the corpses, a younger bandit was sitting on the ground in a daze, with his boss lying next to him.
He endured the pain in his abdomen and moved his hands back and forth on his body.
"I'm not dead?"
He was extremely surprised. Although there was a wound on his abdomen, the wound was very shallow and the bleeding was not fatal.
He let out a sigh of relief, his heart beating so good.
"From now on, young master, I will never be a bandit again. It's too dangerous to do this business. I won't say that I will be killed by a passing hero one day."
He struggled to stand up, crawled towards the boss's body, and put his fingers under the boss's nose to make sure that he was indeed not breathing.
Then he took heart and began to search for him. After a while, he found five taels of silver in the boss's waist.
He went to other bandits and found a total of eight or two six cents scattered here and there.
It's not easy to be a bandit these days. As long as you can survive, you won't commit robberies.
"It's a pity that those escorts were buried by them."
He clutched the money, knelt on the ground, and clasped his hands.
"Thank you to Buddha Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva for allowing me to survive."
After that, he kowtowed respectfully to the heaven and the earth.
At this moment, a voice came: "Which one of us do you think is more like Buddha and which one is Bodhisattva?"
"ah?"
The young man raised his head and his heart suddenly tightened.
"You...didn't you leave?"
You obviously watched them leave, how could they come back?
Zhang Qingyuan licked his lips. Obviously I didn't kill you. Why are you thanking them?
This kid is relatively young, only fourteen or fifteen years old. For such a misguided person, we can give him a chance.
The premise is that he is not a second-generation Jie, or a naturally bad person.
Judging from the few words he just said to himself, he was indeed going astray.
"Two Taoist masters, please spare my life. I promise I will never dare to do it again." He kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Why do you think you are alive?"
Zhang Qingyuan looked at him seriously, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
The young man's head shook like a rattle: "I have never killed anyone, Lord Dao, and I have only joined them for a few days."
"You are quite smart at your young age. Why do you want to be a bandit if you can't do anything bad?"
The child was a little ashamed, lowered his head and said, "I really can't live anymore. My parents are sick and have left. My family has no money. I can't stand the chance to beg for food, and no one wants to be an apprentice."
Well, Zhang Qingyuan is also a little helpless. In this era, it is common for people to starve to death. You can't expect every child to be Wei Xiaobao.
Before he traveled through time, the original owner of this body was about the same age as him, and the original owner was a beggar.
Seeing him, Zhang Qingyuan also thought of himself.
Li Qiuran also had some feelings. She was also picked up by her master back then.
Not every child can meet a kind-hearted master.
"Okay, take this money. How far is the village from here?"
The young man pointed behind him and said, "It's not far from here, in the valley behind this mountain."
"Take us there."
"good."
He stood up in a hurry, wanting to take the initiative to help them both. Li Qiuran had a mysophobia, and she did not allow her things to be touched by other men, except Zhang Qingyuan.
The little bandit was frozen by Li Qiuran's cold face and shrank in fear.
He had no choice but to run in front of the two of them angrily and lead the way for him.
On the way, Zhang Qingyuan also learned from the young man that this village had just appeared.
The bandit leader's name is Boss Song. He is usually not a good person. He is the type who kicks widows out of their homes and throws them away. He is a gangster in the town.
In his early years, he went out to study and also learned martial arts.
Later, when he returned to the town, he became a gangster and integrated a group of gangsters.
Because his wife had stolen someone, he killed the adulterer and the adulterer in a rage. Out of anger, he killed his wife's family, as well as the adulterer's family.
Afraid of being wanted by the government, he came here and fell into trouble.
These more than twenty bandits were all gangsters he had met in the town.
Not long after, several people came to the village.
It can be seen that this cottage is indeed a new one and does not even have a decent house.
Basically all are thatched houses, with only one small pavilion that is quite unique. There is also a plaque hung on the pillar of the pavilion, with three big characters on it - Juyi Hall.
"Who wrote this word? It's so ugly?"
Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but complain: "With this level of education, why do you still want to do justice for heaven?"
The young man blushed and whispered: "I wrote these three words."
"You wrote it?"
He nodded slightly, a little embarrassed.
"I went to private school for a year, and they knew I could read, so since I went to the mountain, I basically did some writing and accounting work."
"Since you are literate, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a job?"
The young man said: "I don't really know much about literacy, and arithmetic is not my strong point. I have been fooling them all this time. Fortunately, they can't read or count."
Good for you.
With that said, he took Zhang Qingyuan to the door of a thatched house.
"This is Boss Song's house."
Pushing open the door, Zhang Qingyuan saw that there was only a wooden bed and a broken cabinet in the room.
In another corner, there were several pieces of clothing piled up, all of different styles. They must have been ripped off by the person he had robbed.
The young man took the initiative to go in and opened the drawer of the cabinet. There was a drawer of silver coins inside.
There are not many silver ingots, most of them are broken pieces of silver, which may look like dozens of taels by visual inspection.
Zhang Qingyuan's face was full of disgust, and Li Qiuran found it funny.
"Your boss is too poor. You have no future at all with him!"
The young man was also very embarrassed. He had regretted it a long time ago, but it was already too late.
After turning the cottage upside down, we found a total of one hundred and five taels of silver and some scattered copper coins.
Zhang Qingyuan sighed, he was off to a bad start.
Not every cottage is Shuibo Liangshan, and not every cottage is Tingfeng Village.
We can't expect a bandit leader who only knows a few three-legged cat martial arts to develop much.
Zhang Qingyuan handed a few taels of scattered silver and the copper coins to the young man, and said to him: "Okay, now you have a lot of money, and those bags of food are yours.
After coming down from the mountain, whether it's buying land or doing business, you should find something serious to do, and don't go astray again. If I find out..."
Zhang Qingyuan raised his eyes and pretended to be fierce. The young man waved his hands repeatedly and promised Zhang Qingyuan: "I will definitely change my mind and be a new person in the future."
Oh, I didn’t read it in private school in vain, and I also know a few idioms.
After coming down the mountain, Li Qiuran sat on the horse and kept laughing.
"For one hundred taels of silver, hahahaha..."
"What, you look down on a hundred taels?"
Zhang Qingyuan was also a little depressed, but as a man, he couldn't show his depression, especially in front of women.
"We cultivators must not be arrogant and complacent. We must know that this one hundred taels of silver can feed an ordinary family of three for several years.
It is important to know that you should not do good deeds because they are small, and do not do evil deeds because they are small.
Regardless of the amount of money, at least we have persuaded a young man who went astray and made him return to his lost ways. This is a merit! "
Li Qiuran was still smiling, looking at his stubborn look, it was really cute.
After walking for a long time, the two came to a town.
He led the horse into a tavern. There were not many diners inside, and there was a group of martial arts people sitting at one of the tables.
He mentioned carrying a sword and talking about things in the world.
Zhang Qingyuan walked up to the table of Jianghu people. Several of them held their sword hilts with some caution.
One of them looked Zhang Qingyuan and Li Qiuran up and down, and had a guess in his mind.
He cupped his fists and raised his hands and asked cautiously: "But Zhenwu Taoist Master Zhang Taoist Master is face to face with Li Xianzi?"
Zhang Qingyuan returned the greeting, "It's Pindao."
"I have met the two Taoist priests. I wonder what the two Taoist priests want to do with us, or have our brothers offended them in some way?"
Not only did he not understand, but even Li Qiuran didn't know what he was looking for.
Several martial arts people were very nervous. After all, one was the Zhenwu Dao Lord who had destroyed the two major forces of Longmen and Tianli Sect, and the other was the Zhuqing Fairy who killed without blinking an eye.
Li Qiuran's reputation has not completely changed yet...
Zhang Qingyuan smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, heroes. I came here to ask if you know what kind of bandits or bandit forces are on the road from here to Songjiang Mansion?"
"Bandits, bandits?"
Several people did not react for a while.
Zhang Qingyuan responded: "Yes, the greater the power, the more vicious and vicious the better."
Several people were still puzzled, "Why is Taoist asking about this?"
Zhang Qingyuan took a deep breath and said righteously: "The poor Taoist wants to defeat evil and use force to defeat the devil!"
Li Qiuran suddenly realized that he was really a face-saving person.
