Chapter 122 How Difficult People's Livelihood is, the King on the Mountain
"A member of the Black Lotus Sect?"

Yan Ming became vigilant, and immediately looked at the Qinglu Holy Envoy, thinking that the people from the Black Lotus Sect had searched for them so quickly.

But seeing that Qinglu Holy Envoy's face was still full of surprise at this moment, her hearing was not as good as Yan Ming's, and she hadn't heard these slogans yet.

In contrast, she was extremely vigilant towards Yan Ming, obviously aware of the strength of the soul-moving technique just now.

Those who have specially practiced the subtle mystic technique are really powerful. Yan Ming has used the soul-shifting technique many times, and they are all very successful. Qinglu Shengshi is the only one who can actively break free from it, and is also the only one who has noticed the existence of the soul-shifting technique. people.

As for the other people who have been affected by the soul-shifting technique, after being interrogated by themselves, most of them are very dazed, do not know what happened, and have no memory of the information just revealed, and naturally they are not aware of the existence of the soul-shifting technique.

And the more this was the case, the more Yanming was sure that he had just asked the core, and the Black Lotus Sect must have something very important to plan, so that the Qinglu envoy subconsciously resisted revealing it.

Yan Ming glanced at her, and then directly sealed the opponent's dumb acupoint with a burst of true energy, and jumped up.

He has keen ears and heard the movement in advance, but in fact the two sides are still some distance away.

Yan Ming stepped on the treetops with his toes, and soon approached the sound of the slogans of the Black Lotus Sect.

He was already ready to make a move, wondering if the Black Lotus Sect members used some secret method to search for it.

But after approaching, seeing this group of people clearly, the murderous aura slowly faded away.

Those who came were not the Black Lotus Sect members as imagined, but a group of simple and even tattered civilians, who seemed to be from nearby villages.

It turned out that Yanming hurried on for a while, and gradually approached the edge of this dense forest, approaching the path outside.

The leader was two hunters, followed by a few ordinary villagers, their clothes were all patched, their steps were flimsy, and they looked like they didn't know martial arts.

And the direction they were going was not where Yanming was just now, but walking along a narrow path, muttering the slogan of the Black Lotus Sect while walking.

The first two sentences sounded like that, but they couldn't remember the rest, so a few people started talking nonsense.

"Hei Lian, Hei Lian, bless us to have enough to eat, and bless our hens to lay more eggs..."

"I said, Hao Laoqi, which one is more spiritual, the Black Lotus Sect or the temple on the nearby mountain? Let's join in, so we won't be bullied in the future."

"I don't know. Anyway, the big households and land security guards in several nearby villages have joined, so we'll be sure to follow."

"But it still requires money! Where are we going to spend the money? You can ask later if it's okay to get some prey from the mountain."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask."

Several villagers chatted and chatted as they walked.

But soon, a gust of wind blew head-on, and one of them stopped, sniffed, and frowned.

"No, there is a smell of smoke around here!"

As soon as these words came out, the others stopped nervously.

They have been active in the mountains all year round and have rich experience. When they heard the wind, they all noticed something strange.

"Is there a fire in the mountains? Or is someone starting a fire?"

"Come and see!"

After finishing speaking, several people headed towards the direction where Yan Ming was before.

These villagers have lived here for generations, relying on mountains to eat mountains, of course they know the horror of wildfires, and they cannot let them go.

Yan Ming took a panoramic view of all their reactions in the dark, and then disappeared in place like a breeze in a flash.

Yan Ming quickly returned to the Holy Envoy of Qinglu, seeing that she had only a thin layer of clothes on her body, which was a little unsightly, so he turned the dry coat over her body.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came, the bushes parted, and several villagers came out poking their heads out.

"Hey, there is someone!"

The two leading hunters walked over first, and after seeing the extinguished flames in the middle of the open space, they were relieved that they would not ignite the surrounding trees.

"Hey, who are you? How did you come to this deep mountain? It's so dangerous!"

One person asked, but before he could finish speaking, another person next to him tugged at the hem of his clothes, and then pointed to the saber on Yan Ming's body.

They could see that Yan Ming was a martial artist, so he must be a bit difficult to mess with.

At this time, Yan Ming turned the official's coat on Qinglu Holy Envoy's body, so the other party did not recognize his identity.

"It's okay, it's not a wildfire!"

He turned his head and shouted to his companions, and then the two looked at Yan Ming, then at Qinglu Holy Envoy, and couldn't help being surprised that this pair of lonely man and widow appeared in the deep mountains, no matter how they looked, it was not normal.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally entered this mountain due to something, and accidentally fell into the water, so I dried my clothes here." Yan Ming explained.

Seeing that Yan Ming was more talkative, the two hunters were a little bolder, but still worried.

"There are beasts and miasma in this mountain, and it's easy to get lost. How did you come here? It's not safe here, how about it, you two follow us, and go to my house at the foot of the mountain to find you a clean change of clothes. "

one of them said.

These villagers are relatively simple, and they don't think too much.

"Okay, then there is work, and after going out, there will be rewards."

This is exactly what Yanming wanted, and it saves him from finding his way in the deep mountains. As long as he goes out to a place where there are people, he can contact his own people.

Yan Ming thought that the overall situation in the Bliss Tower should be settled now, and Wuqing, Lu Xiaofeng and others can completely deal with the next thing, and then they will send people to look for him.

After the discussion was made, Yan Ming came over to pack some things, helped the Qinglu Holy Envoy, and with just one hand, he was able to support him to move, and then walked out.

The two hunters were still not at ease, they came over skillfully and stamped out the pile of ashes to cover the fire, making sure that there would be no risk of re-ignition, so they were relieved.

Soon, they came out of the bushes, joined the others, and walked down the hill together along the bush-strewn path.

Yan Ming didn't reveal his identity, but wanted to hear information about the Black Lotus Sect from them.

On the contrary, the villagers following behind looked at them with curiosity.

Yan Ming himself was not bad looking, and when they saw the appearance of the Qinglu Holy Envoy, they were astonished. They felt like a fairy, they didn't dare to approach, and only kept a distance to follow.

After walking for a certain distance, I finally came out of this dense forest. In front of me, I could vaguely see a small village at the foot of the mountain, and a few reclaimed farmland nearby.

Not long after, they entered the village, and a hunter's home was on the edge of the village, so they brought Yan Ming there.

The others dispersed and went back to their homes to sort out the prey they had hunted into the mountains.

"Mother, Xiaofen, we have guests at home, do you have any clean clothes, bring out two."

As soon as he entered the door, the Orion shouted at the top of his voice.

An old woman and a little girl with braids came out of the room.

They seldom come from outsiders, let alone people like Yan Ming and Qing Lu who are both outstanding in appearance and temperament, so their eyes are full of surprise.

The Orion told them what had happened, and the three of them muttered together for a long time, and when they turned their heads, the old woman had a smile on her face, and hurriedly entertained the two of them.

After a while.

Yan Ming and Qing Lu were sitting on a few stones in the yard, and they had already changed into coarse cloth clothes that were full of patches, starched to whitish but very clean.

Yanming's clothes were very loose, but Qinglu's fit just right. The plain clothes made her a lot less aggressive.

At this time, Qinglu's acupoints have been unlocked, and he can move easily, but his hands and feet are still soft.

"Young man, where did you come from, and why did you run into the mountains?" the old woman asked.

This Yan Ming was a bit difficult to explain, before she could speak, the old woman said again.

"It's okay, if it's inconvenient to say it, it's fine if you don't speak up. I've heard about my old lady before. There was a young man from the bodyguard bureau in the nearby mansion who eloped with a woman he liked. The people from the bodyguard bureau came to us just yesterday to ask about it." Well, but don’t worry, I won’t reveal what happened to you here.”

As the old woman spoke, she had a kind smile on her face, and if she looked at Yan Ming and Qing Lu with meaningful eyes, she seemed to be recalling her youthful days from them.

There is such a coincidence?

Yan Ming knew that it seemed that the other party misunderstood the two of them and regarded them as elopement couples.

Qinglu even slightly rolled her eyes and glared at Yanming. If she hadn't been acupointed on the Ya acupoint, she really wanted to refute immediately.

"You guys just rest here with us and eat something. Don't run into the mountains. The pools in the mountains are cold. If you stumble and fall into it, you may suffer from the root cause of the disease. Girl, get something to eat for the two of you."

"it is good!"

The little girl quickly ran into the house, and ran out again, holding two rough buns and a small bowl of bacon in her hands, and handed them to Yan Ming and the others.

It's just that the little girl couldn't help swallowing when she saw this.

Usually they are only willing to eat the steamed bread made of rice bran, which tastes very bad and hard to swallow. Only now are they willing to take out this kind of miscellaneous noodles.

Prey caught in the mountains should also be eaten sparingly.

The old woman's face was full of apology: "You two, you can see that you are used to eating well and dressing well. We don't have any good things here. Don't be disgusted. Only by eating can we have strength."

The girl named Xiaofen was also answering the question: "It would be great if all the prey that brother hunted could be kept."

"Xiaofen, don't say anything else in front of the guests." The old woman reminded.

Yan Ming asked curiously, "Do you give all the prey you hunt to others?"

"Yes, the land security in the village, and the rich man Liu, our family borrowed a few buckets of rice from him during the drought last year, and we haven't repaid it yet. The rented land is also theirs. By the way, there is also the king on the nearby mountain, who regularly They all come to collect things, and recently they have to save things for the immortals of the Black Lotus Sect, but the immortals said that they only need money, not things."

Xiaofen was straight-hearted, and said everything in one breath.

Although she was used to this in her tone, just hearing it made Yan Ming frown.

In just a few words, you can hear the hardships of his life.

Hearing that the Black Lotus Sect was also involved, even Qinglu fell silent, looked down at the cornbread in his hand, and then at the chipped bowl.

"Why did you join the Black Lotus Sect?" Yan Ming asked.

"Because all the wealthy people in the vicinity have joined, the immortals of the Black Lotus Sect are very godly, and they can do everything, and if they join the Black Lotus Sect, they will be protected by the immortals. If they are sick, they can pay less offerings to get treatment, and they don't have to be sent to the nearby mountains. The kings are bullying."

The little girl introduced it very excitedly, but immediately she looked a little embarrassed.

"But the immortals of the Black Lotus Sect said that we need five taels of silver to join. It is impossible for us to save so much money for several years. My brother is going to see if he can go to Mr. Liu's house to buy a ten-year contract of sale on credit, otherwise It was me who sold her to be a maid..."

"Okay, don't talk about it." The smile on the old woman's face was gone, she stopped Xiaofen from drinking, and looked a little tired.

"Both of you, eat something first, you're welcome."

After speaking, Xiaofen helped the old lady back to rest in the house.

Both Yan Ming and Qing Lu had sharp ears and eyes, and heard their conversation.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't join, anyway, I don't have a few years to live, old lady."

"That won't work, mother, you have worked so hard to raise us up, it is right to treat your illness, and only the immortals of the Black Lotus Sect can cure your illness, and if you don't join, the next time the kings on the mountain come down, you will be treated again." To embarrass my brother..."

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, the room fell into silence.

Yan Ming flicked a burst of true energy, which unlocked Qinglu's dumb acupoint.

But the other party didn't scold him, but looked at the cornbread in his hand.

This thing is really too rough, normally, Qinglu wouldn't even look at it, let alone eat it.

But now, Qinglu hesitated for a moment, forcefully broke a small piece into his mouth, and chewed it twice.

Suddenly, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

This is too unpalatable!

Qinglu resisted and swallowed.

When he raised his head, he met Yanming's eyes.

"What do you think I am doing? The Black Lotus Sect here is not under my control, and I don't know about these things."

Qinglu said, then heaved a long sigh and spit out four words.

"How difficult people's lives are."

Yan Ming also nodded beside him, it was rare for the two of them to agree.

"Then what do you think of your Black Lotus Sect's actions?" Yan Ming asked.

Qinglu hesitated a little, then opened his mouth and said.

"There is no way, you are a smart person, Yan Butou, and you must know the difficulties of the world. Even without our Black Lotus Sect, their situation is still not much better. If you want to change all this, you must let everyone change their way of life!"

When Qinglu Holy Envoy said this, his eyes became firm.

"Only the birth of the black lotus and the birth of the holy king can change all this, and what we are doing is for this goal."

"Ok?"

Yan Ming was speechless for a while, this Qinglu also seemed to be brainwashed.

Yan Ming naturally felt that he had to do something for these ordinary people, and even make some changes for the world, but he definitely wouldn't rely on this holy king.

But the two hadn't exchanged a few words when they suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from outside the village, from far to near.

Both of them raised their eyes to look in that direction, and then heard someone in the village shouting: "The king of the mountain is here!"
