The youth was in a trance, as he remembered his original life. His name was also Pei Zi Yun, but compared to this trash, he was a legend.
At the age of seventeen, he quarreled with his family and took ten thousand dollars to Shenzhen. He ate boxed meals and slept in the basement, trading stocks. A year later, he was self-taught and made a profit of five hundred thousand dollars.
Then, he used his silver tongue to borrow fifty thousand dollars from a new friend and re-entered the stock market. Even though it was a bear market, he earned three million dollars in three years, which was thirty times the profit.
Later on, due to his success, he was threatened and had no choice but to enter a large organization as a trader and a white glove. There were many grudges and conflicts of interest, until the car crashed into him and he flew through the air.
After a long time, the young man's gaze fell on the mission. Suddenly, a series of messages appeared.
'I'm already dead, but the original owner used some unknown method to pull me into this world. And this Plum Blossom, according to my memories, became a system?'
In the bamboo forest, the young man's eyes opened. He had already digested these memories and feelings.
'If I fail the mission, I'll lose the Plum Blossom?'
'That's fine. It's just that the timing isn't right. The original owner was such an idiot!'
'Just three bandits and they scared a village of fifty men into surrendering and handing over money. The original owner was a scholar, but faced with such a situation, he was helpless!'
'Idiot!'
'Although there are Daoist techniques in this world, who dares to go against them?'
'Furthermore, the Great Xu Dynasty has been established, and their focus is on the central regions. That's why they haven't been able to clear out the bandits yet. But this is only a matter of time. The Black Wind Bandits can't grow their tails.'
'The original owner was a scholar, a scholar, a reservist. As long as he understood this, even if he didn't have the strength to fight a chicken, he would still have a way to salvage the situation. Now that things have come to this, what an idiot!'
'If it were three days ago, I would have used the government to resolve this crisis. Now I can only fight with my life on the line.'
As a trader, even though he wasn't a general, he had been on the battlefield for a long time. What he didn't lack the most was decisiveness in killing. The young man methodically tied up the clothes on his body and chopped down with a chopper. A green bamboo fell just like that.
Not far away, the girl behind the door was still desperately trying to win a chance of survival for herself. She suppressed her fear and showed her weakest side to the men outside the door. She did not want to be some rich and powerful wife. She begged, "Uncles, please let me go. I will die if I go there —"
"Pu pu!"
The young girl's pleading voice traveled into the bamboo forest and was heard by the youth. In just a few strokes, the chopper had sharpened the bamboo spear. He murmured, "The village will only hand over the goods at dawn. The villagers will not be at ease if we trade with thieves at night!"
"There's still time!"
The youth's heart was calm. With a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, he ran straight out of the village.
There was a mud wall in the village, but this kind of mud wall could only be used to scare the bandits. As a villager, he naturally knew that there were many loopholes in the wall. Climbing out was a simple task.
When Pei Zi Yun crawled out of the mud hole, his entire body was covered in mud, including his face. As he passed by the pond outside the village, the moonlight was bright and shone on the pond, revealing his appearance. Seeing himself, Pei Zi Yun was not surprised. Instead, he was overjoyed. With the mud covering his face, other than those close to him, who would be able to recognize him?
Just as he came out, he heard a few shouts. The Black Wind bandits were at the entrance of the village. Not only were they not afraid of the dozens of strong men in the village, they had even forced the villagers to hand over a few chickens.
The village wasn't big. At this point, the moon was already in the west. At the foot of the northeast wall, there was darkness. It was a disguise. Pei Zi Yun held the bamboo spear in one hand and the knife in the other as he made his way to the entrance of the village.
At this moment, at the entrance of the village, the Black Wind bandits were roasting the chickens in their hands. The chickens weren't big, and their feathers had long been plucked off. Their intestines had been pulled out and thrown aside. Using the knife they carried, they made a few cuts on the chicken's body and sprinkled some salt and chilli on top of the fire. The chicken fat dripped onto the firewood, making a sizzling sound.
At this moment, on the mud wall of the village, Zhang Dashan was furiously sharpening the wooden stick in his hands. The sharp tip of the stick had been shaved off, but it wasn't enough. Looking at the damned Black Wind bandits roasting the chickens, his heart was filled with fear and anger.
These were the old hens he had reared at home, and were used to lay eggs. But when the bandits were clamoring for chickens, someone went to get them, tied their legs, and threw them out.
Zhang Dashan thought bitterly, and vented his anger on the wooden stick. He kept sharpening it, and cursed, "These bastards, these bastards!"
As Pei Zi Yun neared the entrance of the village, he saw three Black Wind bandits. Looking at them, memories from his previous life surfaced.
In the middle of the group was a middle-aged bandit. The other two bandits around him seemed to regard him as their leader. His face was thin, and he was dressed in black. Even though he was joking, his eyes were cold. This man was the Third Leader of the Black Wind bandits. He was the one who had kidnapped Ye Su 'er from the village, and that was the reason why he had made such a mistake in his previous life.
Looking at the bandit sitting by the fire, Pei Zi Yun touched his bamboo spear and crouched down. This wasn't the time to make a move, so he held his spear in place and hid.
At this moment, a chicken had been roasted. It had the unique charred smell of barbecue, and was glistening with oil. One of the bandits who was roasting the chicken took the chicken and tore off a small piece. He placed it in his mouth and tasted it to see how it tasted.
As soon as he tasted it, he realized that it tasted pretty good. The chickens in this village were plump, and had the chewiness of free-range chickens. It was delicious. He didn't dare to taste too much, and quickly offered it to the middle-aged bandit.
The middle-aged bandit took the chicken and sniffed it. He tore off a small piece and threw it into his mouth to taste it. The aroma of the meat filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel his appetite increase.
With both hands, he tore off a large piece of chicken leg and started chewing. After eating a few mouthfuls, he felt that it wasn't enough. He then took out a wine pouch from his robes, raised it, and took a big gulp. He then shouted, "This feels good!"
At this point, Pei Zi Yun had already hidden himself in the bushes. The trees were thick and dense. Above him were tall trees, and below him were thick shrubs. He hid in the shadows of the trees and prepared to assassinate the bandits. However, he was too far away. As he waited, Pei Zi Yun's hands tightened and loosened his grip on the bamboo spear and knife.
The original owner only discovered the Plum Blossom five years later, and was able to cultivate it. Although he had learned martial arts and Dao arts, he did not know any of them. Although these bandits were mortals, how could they learn martial arts and Dao arts? Once the bamboo spear pierced through them, they would naturally die.
These Black Wind bandits gathered around the bonfire, and Pei Zi Yun suppressed his desire to kill them. One person could kill them, two people would be helpless, and three people could only run for their lives.
Since he couldn't fight them head-on, he could only win with his wits. Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but think back to when he defeated the bandits. Suddenly, an incident surfaced in his mind, and he had a plan.
In his previous life, he was weak and useless. He couldn't resist the villagers, and could only follow them from afar. He watched as Ye Su 'er was sent out for the last time.
When the village chief escorted her to the village entrance, the Black Wind bandits came out from the temple not far away.
He could still remember clearly that there were rooms in the temple that could fit a few people. These Black Wind bandits had lit a bonfire at the entrance of the village, and had roasted a chicken to show off their strength. However, they still had to go to the temple to rest in the middle of the night.
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, and had a plan in his mind. These bandits were truly despicable. He turned around to take a look, and then quickly retreated, not wanting to linger.
The leader of the three Black Wind Bandits, who had been gorging himself on the food, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He turned his head around and looked in the direction that Pei Zi Yun had retreated to. He stood up with his knife in hand and walked over.
"Third Leader, what's wrong?" A bandit who was munching on a chicken's foot saw his Third Leader walking towards the forest, and followed him.
The trees in front of him were all very tall, at least three to four meters tall. The trees covered the moon, and cast a large shadow. The bandit looked over, but other than the shadows and the shrubs, he could not see anything.
The Third Leader, the middle-aged bandit, felt suspicious as well. Just now, he felt as though someone was spying on him, but when he looked closely, he could not see anything. Thinking about this, he felt uneasy, and did not say anything. He stood up and walked towards the forest, subconsciously lowering his voice and footsteps.
When he got closer, there was nothing. The middle-aged bandit did not relax, and gripped his knife tightly. He had been a bandit for more than ten years, and had not died yet. As he got closer, he saw movement in the bushes.
"Someone's ambushing me?" The middle-aged bandit's eyes turned cold, and he slashed down with his knife. Pu chi! He cut something, and blood splattered all over the bandit's face, making him look extremely ferocious.
The knife in his hand reeked of blood, as he sliced through the bushes. At this point, the living creature under the bushes revealed itself. It was a wild dog, its body had been sliced in half, and it was twitching on the ground.
"Hey, you're indeed the Third Leader. Your knife skills are incredible, and it was a fatal blow. From the neck all the way to the body, half of it was sliced open. We'll be able to have a good meal tonight." The bandit who had just caught up smiled, and started to flatter the Third Leader. He held the wild dog in his hand, and threw it in front of the fire. He then skinned it, "Dog meat can't be sliced and salted. We have to go back to the temple to cook it."
The middle-aged bandit was somewhat surprised. He had thought that it was someone hiding in ambush, but it turned out to be a wild dog, which was a pleasant surprise. With that in mind, he sheathed his knife and wiped the blood off his face. He drank two mouthfuls of wine and looked up at the moon in the sky. The moon tonight was truly round.
Pei Zi Yun, who was watching from afar, broke out in a cold sweat. These bandits were indeed ferocious bandits. Although they weren't skilled in martial arts, their skills were simple and direct, and were learned from fighting.
Fortunately, he did not attack them directly. Pei Zi Yun calmed himself down and walked to the temple door. He looked at the temple before him.
This was a temple of the Earth. There were walls surrounding it, but they had not been repaired for a long time. There were a few holes in the walls, and it was a good place to kill someone. Pei Zi Yun had just surveyed the terrain, and had prepared a few ropes. All of a sudden, Pei Zi Yun heard footsteps, and stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head and cupped his hands around his ears, and listened carefully.
Outside the temple, the voices of several bandits could be heard. Pei Zi Yun felt a tinge of regret as he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
