Zhao Ran was sitting in a cave, looking at the pouring rain in the sky, and couldn't help but feel very sad. He was just a monk who had just entered the "Taoist" realm. Although the Taoist robes issued by Huayun Hall were fireproof and waterproof, it was still difficult to continue searching for traces of those strong men in the mountains under such heavy rain.
The cave was very small, less than one foot from front to back and three feet from left to right. The old donkey huddled behind Zhao Ran. The donkey's tail had already swept up to the back wall of the cave. Zhao Ran was pushed against the entrance of the cave, and the raindrops that fell in from time to time were Hit it on the tip of your nose.
Seeing that the rain would not subside for a while, Zhao Ran decided to fill his stomach first. He picked out a few items to eat from his fingertips and was about to take them out when he saw a small hut in the corner of the space that was pressed up by various objects.
Zhao Ran thought to himself that he was really stupid. Although the hut left by Zhang Laodao was dilapidated, it could at least block the rain in front of him. Why couldn't he remember it? So he took out the hut. The hut was not big and just filled the small cave. Zhao Ran and the old donkey were squeezed into the hut together, with half of the old donkey's butt still exposed.
This hut made by Zhang Laodao is not bad. It has a pocket underneath and is also made of thatch. Sitting in it is like sitting in a haystack. It feels extremely comfortable in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Zhao Ran was eating dry food and barbecue while thinking about how to search next.
Five days ago, when he stayed overnight, Zhao Ran encountered a gangster shop. The old couple who wanted to kill people and seize money failed, but they lost their lives instead. This also gave Zhao Ran a more detailed understanding of many situations in Daqingshan. There are hundreds of bands of bandits, large and small, in Daqing Mountain. The largest ones are deep in the mountains, surrounding the main peak Mao'er Mountain, and the rest are scattered on the tops of mountains. It is said that there are immortals in Mao'er Mountain who have been protecting the bandits hiding in the mountain, so the Taoist sect left it alone and did not interfere too much. As for the strongmen who have recently emerged to seize villages and villages, the old couple also heard some rumors, saying that they were very good at fighting and had already robbed several villages, but knew nothing about the others.
¡° However, the old couple tried their best to survive in order to survive, and also provided Zhao Ran with clues for tracking. The two of them determined that these strongmen were either dead or should be operating on the edge of Daqing Mountain, because their actions violated the rules of Daqing Mountain and they could never go too deep into Daqing Mountain.
Zhao Ran executed the old couple. In addition to the fact that these two people were not good friends and would only harm others if they stayed, they could also gain a lot of merit. This also gave Zhao Ran the idea of ??"suppressing bandits" in Daqingshan.
Following the tips from the old couple, Zhao Ran began to search along the southern foot of Daqing Mountain. So far, he has found six or seven cottages. These cottages are all very small, with a small number of bandits. The largest ones only have about twenty people, and the smallest ones only have three or two cats. The so-called cottages are just caves or a few broken houses on the hills. Zhao Ran did not alert the snake, he planned to put his own affairs in order first, and then consider "suppressing the bandits."
The heavy rain in summer came and went at a given time. After Zhao Ran finished eating the dry food, the heavy rain stopped. But rain in the mountains is a very troublesome thing. If you don't know, you will encounter landslides and swollen streams. Therefore, although the weather turned sunny, Zhao Ran was still trapped in a small cave for one night and did not go out again until dawn the next day. .
It has to be said that it is a blessing to have an old donkey walking quickly in the mountains. Otherwise, Zhao Ran's search would have been much more difficult. After searching for about five days, Zhao Ran roughly completed the search at the edge of the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, and then Turned to Xilu.
On this day, he came across a vacant cottage. This cottage is also small and dilapidated, with only five rooms, surrounded by a bamboo fence. Judging from the weeds and shrubs growing in the open space of the rooms, this cottage has been vacant for a long time. This was the first deserted village that Zhao Ran encountered, and it cheered him up.
After searching for a long time, no valuable clues were found, so Zhao Ran continued to set off.
One day later, he discovered the second village, but there were bandits in the village, and after observation, it was confirmed that these bandits had nothing to do with the strong men Song Xiong mentioned. Zhao Ran thought for a while, retreated, came to the vacant cottage he found yesterday, and then changed the direction and started searching again.
In this direction, he found a second vacant cottage.
Zhao Ran was very happy and found the fourth and fifth villages one after another using the same method. Three days later, he came to a new village and found someone in the village, so he prepared to retreat and find another direction. Just two steps away, he heard someone in the village call out: "Third brother, pack up and get ready for the next one."
Zhao Ran was moved in his heart and turned back, hiding behind a tree to take a peek.
Not long after, the bandits from the stronghold rushed out, each armed with a weapon, and headed due north. Zhao Ran could see clearly that there were exactly three people at the head, each with stiff expressions on their faces, as if they were smeared.?Gold wax.
Zhao Ranzhu followed the group dozens of feet away and followed them until dusk. The group stopped, lit a bonfire under a mountain col, and began to sleep outdoors. For more than an hour before going to bed, the three people in the lead chatted all over the world, talking about trivial matters in the world. Zhao Ran eavesdropped all night, but he didn't overhear much useful information, and he could never confirm it. The identities of the three people.
At dawn, the group continued to go north, bypassing two small hills, and saw a stockade in front of them. The village is not big, just a few broken houses.
The three leaders swaggered in with their men. People in the village rushed out to resist, but they were all captured. Then a lean man came out. His martial arts didn't look weak, but he was knocked down in just a few moves.
Then Zhao Ran finally heard what he wanted to know.
After the bandits in the village were driven away from the village, Zhao Ran blocked them in the middle of the road. Without further ado, the old donkey shouted "arrogant" several times, and all the dozen or so bandits were killed. Zhao Ran gained a lot of merit. .
When Zhao Ran appeared in the mountain stronghold leading the old donkey, the strong men who robbed the mountain stronghold surrounded him. The three leaders formed a three-legged posture and separated Zhao Ran's front, left and right directions.
"Who is the Taoist Priest? What are you doing here?" The person in front asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Ran looked at these three strong men and said with a smile: "What are you three doing here?"
"This is my village. The Taoist priest breaks into my village without knowing his purpose. Instead, he deliberately asks me questions. What's the point?"
"Your stockade? Isn't that right? Pindao saw it clearly just now. It seems that it is someone else's stockade and he just snatched it when he left."
The leader nodded and said: "It turns out that the Taoist priest has arrived a long time ago Yes, this place was originally someone else's village, but since it has been occupied by us, it has become our village."
Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "I can't tell. I think very fast and am eloquent. I don't look like a bandit. Tell me, who are you?"
"What does the Taoist priest mean by this?"
Zhao Ran rolled his eyes: "Stop pretending, people who know how to speak can speak happily. Now that Pindao has found this place today, do you think you can still keep it a secret?"
The person on the other side was slightly startled. He glanced at Zhao Ran and said in a deep voice, "Does the Taoist Master like this village? In that case, my brother is so beautiful that he will give this village to the Taoist Master." Jianghu, we have formed a good relationship, maybe we can take care of each other a little bit in the future, I wonder what the long-term plans are?"
Zhao Ran laughed and said: "Still pretending? You brothers don't like this shabby village, and I don't like Pindao either. To tell you the truth, Pindao has no interest in occupying the mountain and seizing the village. Pindao is from Guyang County. So, do you understand?"
The man on the left couldn't help but lose his composure and said, "Junshan Temple?"
Zhao Ran laughed and smiled at him: "Yes, you are quite discerning. Why don't we all sit down and talk"
Before he finished speaking, wind blew up in the back of his head. Zhao Ran sighed and said, "You don't know what you can do." His footsteps slipped and he stepped aside in an instant, and the man behind him missed his sword.
Zhao Ran clicked his tongue and said, "Look at you, are you exposed? How can bandits and bandits have swords?" As he said this, his hands were not slow at all, mana was poured into his palms, and with one strike in the air, he beat the sneak attack. He had to vomit blood and fall to the ground.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother!"
The two people jumped over, one stood in front of Zhao Ran, and the other helped the man who was vomiting blood up. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Ran and said in shock: "Fighting the Bull God from across the mountain?"
