To pass through Mount Wuxiong smoothly, in addition to the risk of being looted by the bandits on the mountain, they could also choose to visit the mountain.
In other words, they could take out a lot of silver to show their filial piety in other people's territory.
However, the people of Rakshasa Village did not abide by the rules. Sometimes they would still loot after giving their filial piety.
But it was better to avoid trouble. The guide was well-intentioned, but he did not want any conflicts.
Emboldened, the guide went to the place designated by Rakshasa Village to put down the silver.
It was a temple of the earth half the height of a man. It was dark inside, and there might not be any statue of Buddha. There was only an incense burner with a hole missing at the door of the temple.
Anyone who wanted to show his filial piety in advance would put the silver under the incense burner.
In most cases, the mountain bandits who received the silver would let them go.
But it also meant that there would be hidden guards of the mountain bandits.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. After all, he had seen the bodies cut in half by the mountain bandits with his own eyes.
Although he knew that the Sanjue Hall behind him was more powerful, he could only grit his teeth and put the silver under the incense burner.
"Brothers on the mountain, you have worked hard. Please accept this little filial piety."
According to the rules, if the mountain bandits of Rakshasa Village agreed to let them go, someone would come out and say something.
But the guide waited and waited, but no one answered.
His heart sank, and he bowed towards the mountain with clasped hands.
"Brothers, if it is not enough, please mention it. Our boss is a generous person, and he admires the heroes and warriors of our mountain the most. Brothers, please be magnanimous. "
Only his own voice echoed in the surroundings.
A drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of his forehead, and then more and more.
The guide's scalp was numb, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He was a local, and naturally knew that something was wrong.
But the mountain was still quiet, and there was not even a bird chirping.
He was in a dilemma, and he knew it very well.
He was afraid that it would not be easy for Rakshasa Village today.
"Who is your boss?"
After an unknown period of time, there was a faint sound coming from the top of the mountain.
The guide did not have time to wipe his cold sweat, and immediately said what they had discussed before.
"Our boss is a medicine dealer from the south. He is a small business, and he knows our rules, so he does not dare to make trouble."
The other side fell silent again. After a while, someone continued to shout.
"Since we're all smart people, let's not beat around the bush. Our master is begging for money. If you know what's good for you, leave all your money and that woman. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being ruthless! "
Clenching his fists, the guide felt that this Luocha Village was going too far.
"Brother, I can give you the money. Please be magnanimous and let us go. "
"Cut the bullshit! Either you give it to him or you kill him. It's up to you! "
The tone of the people on the mountain suddenly became fierce. Although the guide knew that there was danger, he could not help but feel angry.
"We can't give him to you. You may be bandits, but you should still follow the rules!"
The guide's words angered the mountain bandits who never listened to reason.
There was a piercing sound coming from the mountains, and before the guide could react, a long arrow whistled through the air, heading straight for his heart.
He only had time to shout, "Oh no!" in his heart. Just when the arrow was about to pierce through his chest, a silver light flashed, and the arrow was cut into two pieces, falling at his feet.
"Why are you talking about the rules with these bandits? Just kill them. Don't waste your breath."
A slender figure jumped to his side, and that person pulled out the steel knife that was still trembling on the ground.
"Deputy … Deputy Hall Chief!"
After surviving the disaster, the guide realized that his legs were weak. But when he saw Qinghu standing in front of him with a cold look, he came to his senses.
It turned out that the Deputy Hall Chief had been secretly protecting him.
Qinghu turned around and looked at the mountain, with a cold smile and naked killing intent.
"You want to hurt my people? Who gave you the guts? Tell your damn mountain king, if you don't want to die, you'd better make way for us. Don't make trouble for us. Otherwise, I'll destroy your Luocha Village! "
Qinghu's killing intent was even stronger than that of the bandits. None of the mountain bandits hiding in the forest dared to answer.
Qinghu casually carried the guide, whose back was drenched in cold sweat, down the mountain. After throwing him into a carriage, he turned around and walked back to Lin Mengya.
"Girl, why don't I kill my way up the mountain? I'm giving them face, but they don't want it. I think they're tired of living! "
According to Qinghu's temper, he would not give them a copper coin, and he would even kill them.
But Lin Mengya was deep in thought. She had seen everything that happened just now.
"Don't, I still feel that something is wrong. Tell everyone to be careful. Since you choose to fight them head-on, don't hold back. "
Compared to being ruthless, Lin Mengya was definitely one of the best.
But the guide's conversation with the mountain bandits was not quite right. She was afraid that things were not that simple.
"Okay, everyone be on guard, let's go!"
Even without Qinghu's reminder, those people were also nervous, knowing that the next journey would be dangerous.
With full vigilance, the group of businessmen carefully crossed the hill.
Even after the sun had set in the west, there was still no movement.
But Qinghu keenly sensed that there were many people gathered around them.
He guessed that those mountain bandits were also looking for a chance to relax, and then swarm them like wild dogs.
The rest of the group of businessmen took turns to rest, to ensure that everyone was in the best condition.
Finally, midnight fell.
In the quiet forest, fist-sized flames appeared out of nowhere.
The flames were getting more and more intense, and the group of businessmen was getting closer and closer.
Qinghu immediately ordered everyone to face the enemy, using the carriage as a shelter, forming an airtight circle.
More and more flames appeared. There were at least a few hundred of them, and when they got closer, they realized that each flame was actually a torch.
This meant that they were surrounded by hundreds of mountain bandits.
"Humph, you're really haunting us. Where is your master? Get out here right now! "
Qinghu looked coldly at the crowd around him. Somehow, he felt a sense of danger.
A master's intuition was very sharp. If it was in normal times, he would not care about these people at all.
Anyway, they could not stop him at all, and let him come and go as he pleased.
But today, he had to protect the person behind him.
The crowd was split apart, and the only man who was riding a horse appeared. He looked rather charming and flirtatious.
But different from Qinghu's androgynous appearance, this man's facial features were too feminine, and he was not a good person at first glance.
The man was dressed in fine silk and satin, not like a mountain bandit, but like an opera singer at the foot of the mountain.
"Oh, is this the legendary top killer of Peach Blossom Dock? What a pleasure to meet you, but today you're in the territory of Rakshasa Village, so it's not up to you! "
The man's tone was the same as his appearance, but his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a night owl.
Qinghu narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.
"The person behind you is Princess Yu, isn't she? Don't worry, as long as she comes with me, I won't make things difficult for you. Your calculations are quite good. If it was in the past, I would have to think twice before taking such a group of people. But now — come on, show the master the power of our Rakshasa Village! "
The mountain king's tone was cold, and then the person in front of him moved aside, revealing everything behind him.
There were archers and large crossbows all around.
As long as that person gave the order, even if Qinghu was very capable, he would be shot into a hedgehog.
Qinghu's eyes emitted a cold look, and he knew that he only had one chance.
As long as he held that person hostage, he did not have to worry that his men would not obey him.
But before he could do anything, a warm little hand tugged at his sleeve.
He turned around and saw Lin Mengya's calm side profile. Qinghu did not know what she meant, so he had to give up his plan for the time being.
"Since the first master is looking for me, then we'll go with you. But there's something I have to tell you, first master. If your men dare to hurt my men, then I promise that no one here will live to see tomorrow's sun. "
She curved her lips and smiled softly.
The first master, who was used to storms, only felt that the woman in front of him was like a poppy blooming silently in the dark night.
She was extremely beautiful, but also extremely poisonous.
Thinking of what someone warned him, he had to stop looking down on her.
"Of course, I just want to invite my brothers up the mountain for a chat. Come on, bring the distinguished guests up the mountain! "
As soon as he finished speaking, someone took the initiative to come forward.
That person looked inconspicuous, about 40 years old, and looked like a steward. But there was shrewdness in his eyes, which made him look a little treacherous.
"Honored guests, this way please."
Lin Mengya did not reply, but went back to the carriage.
Qinghu glanced at those people indifferently and waved his hand.
They immediately packed up and followed a large group of mountain bandits up the mountain.
The mountain bandits did not dare to do anything again, but those pairs of malicious eyes made Qinghu a little uncomfortable.
However, his gaze was always on the mountain king riding on the horse.
That inexplicable sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.
He deliberately slowed down his pace, and when he was at the same level as Lin Mengya's carriage, he lowered his voice and said.
"I seem to have seen that person somewhere."
In the carriage, Lin Mengya, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes.
"I also feel a little strange. Look at those crossbows and bows. They are a mountain bandit's den, so they can't find such good weapons."
She was born in the Lin family. Although she had been silly before, she was influenced by what she saw and heard.
Even if she just looked at them from a distance, she could accurately recognize that those bows and crossbows were weapons that only regular soldiers could use.
These weapons were not only expensive to make, but also had great lethality, so private use of them had always been restricted.
She had just counted at least 50 or 60.
