Heaven rewards hard work in comprehensive martial arts

Chapter 272 In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass!

This month, Zhang Wei saw too many deaths.

At this time, in South Korea, due to the misfortunes of General Ji Wuye, especially the Emerald Tiger, one of his four most ferocious generals, he was plundering money from civilians, causing the people to live in dire straits.

In remote rural areas far away from big cities, skinny refugees can be seen everywhere. There is no light in their eyes, only numbness and endless emptiness...

Countless bones can be seen looming among the weeds in the wilderness on the roadside. No one will remember them, and no one will grieve for them.

Those who have benefited will only care about how many acres of fertile land they have obtained and how much their wealth has increased... They don't care about the life and death of these people at all.

Looking at the white bones in the grass, Zhang Wei finally understood why the Quicksand Wolf King in the original work was able to gather so many wild wolves.

Because in such a world, their food is really too rich!

"Hey! I finally know how the person who said, 'I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times' feels, is feeling!"

Zhang Wei sighed, he finally realized that human life in troubled times is really as cheap as a piece of grass as stated in the book!
In this month, he had seen people fight to the death more than once just for a piece of moldy steamed bun.

Forget it, he can still encounter bandits running around frequently.

When he walked out of his original mountain village, he encountered more than a dozen robberies, murders, and interceptions of goods on the road.

Among them are bandits and bandits who specialize in these businesses, but most of them are refugees who have been forced by the landlords to have no way of living.

The reason why these people become bandits is because they don't want to die, so they can only deprive others of their hope in life to keep themselves alive.

Living in this chaotic and disorderly world, people with no strength and no background can imagine how desperate they will be.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg in this troubled world. Rich families are full of wine and meat, and bones are frozen to death on the road. These are the norm.

Zhang Wei said sincerely: "If these people can survive, they have already tried their best!"

"The seven kingdoms have fought for hegemony and been in chaos for hundreds of years. In the end, it is still the common people who suffer. It really corresponds to the saying: 'When prosperity occurs, the common people suffer; when it dies, the common people suffer'!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei shook his head.

This month's experiences have made him realize a lot about life and death. This kind of heart-training in the world of mortals is really not something that ordinary people can easily try.

If his realm hadn't been high enough, he would have been crushed by the suffering side of the human world.

……

Walking on the path in the wilderness, Zhang Wei was no longer as well-dressed as he was at the beginning.

At this time, the white clothes on his body had turned gray and were stained with a lot of mud. His long black hair was as messy as a bird's nest. His white skin had darkened a lot, and there was still dirt on his face.

He hadn't taken a shower in three days. During these three days, he had been traveling in the wilderness without encountering any human habitation or water source.

Fortunately, he had the Dragon Bird Sword and Mo Yuxiao, so he didn't starve to death.

Although using them for hunting is a waste of time and money, it is a waste of resources.

But in this wilderness, with no dry food to eat, he had no choice but to give in to them in order to prevent his stomach from suffering.

"Hey! I really didn't expect that this stretch of road would be so desolate, with not even a single home, which made me so embarrassed."

Now he has money but no place to spend it. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

"If I had known this, I would have bought that old cow. Walking on my own two legs is really too slow!" Zhang Wei thought a little annoyed.

He also wants to buy a horse, but in this era, even if you have money, it is very difficult to buy a horse.

Horses are considered a status symbol for royal generals, high officials and nobles when traveling, but ordinary people should not even think about them.

What Zhang Wei didn't know was that just when he was upset, there were three gangsters hiding in the woods to his left, and their greedy eyes were staring at him.

"Brother, what are you hesitating about? Let's go out and stop him quickly. If it's too late, he will be gone." The third child looked at Zhang Wei walking further and further away, and said anxiously to the scar-faced brother.

They are bandits roaming in this area. Because there are only three of them, they specialize in picking out lone people.

"Third brother, you simple-minded guy with strong limbs, please be quiet. Didn't you see the knife on that man's waist?" The thin second boy said and looked at the scarred face.

His meaning is very simple, he just wants to ask the boss whether they can do this order.

They generally don't dare to provoke such a lone ranger who also wears weapons.

But Zhang Wei was different. They could tell at a glance that the person in front of them didn't know any martial arts at all. The only thing that needed to be considered now was this person's background.

After all, the saber on his waist and the jade flute don't look like ordinary items.

The scar-faced brother also hesitated. He looked at the knife on Zhang Wei's waist with greed in his eyes.But he was also afraid that the power behind Zhang Wei would be too great and he would be retaliated against later.

"Brother, what are we afraid of? Looking at this pretty boy's miserable look, you can tell that his family doesn't have much ability, otherwise he wouldn't even have a horse."

"For a fat sheep like this, one order we make can equal the dozens of orders we made before. With this money, we can leave here before his family reacts. By that time, we were already enjoying the blessings, and we didn't even need to Scared."

The third child, who is known as a simple-minded man, is so anxious to tell so many great truths when he sees the fat sheep in his mouth that he is about to escape. It is also difficult for him.

When Scarface heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

"The third child is right, we can gain wealth through danger, we did it, and I've really had enough of this kind of life with my head on my waist."

"After we finish this job, we will stop and go to marry a wife elsewhere and enjoy our happiness in peace of mind."

Scarface shouted and took the lead to rush out.

Soon the three of them stopped in front of Zhang Wei, cutting off his way.

"Boy, it's your fate to meet us. Hand over all the valuables you have, and remember not to walk alone on a deserted road in the next life." Scarface said to Zhang Wei expressionlessly.

"Brother, why bother talking nonsense to him? Let me kill him with one blow, so that you won't have long nights and dreams."

The thin second brother saw that his elder brother decided to take action. He didn't hesitate at all and stabbed Zhang Wei directly in the abdomen with a short knife. He was really cruel and didn't say much.

The third child, who was just about to take action, found that the second child had already rushed out. His face was very annoyed, so he had to follow behind with a machete.

"Hey, why are you people everywhere I go!" Looking at the three bandits in front of him who wanted to kill him and steal money, Zhang Wei didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but felt helpless.

Seeing his appearance, Scarface realized that he and others might have kicked the iron plate, but the arrow had left the string and could not be retrieved.

He gritted his teeth, no longer daring to stand there and watch the show, and quickly slashed at Zhang Wei's front with a big knife. Although he struck from behind, his speed was faster than the two in front.

Scarface believed that if the three of them besieged him, even if Zhang Wei had a trump card, he would definitely die.

However, what happened was completely beyond their expectations.

"Buzz!"

I saw a ripple on Zhang Wei's Dragon Bird Knife, and all three people's attacks stopped in mid-air. There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of them, preventing the knives in their hands from entering.

"How is this possible?!" The three of them opened their eyes wide, completely in disbelief.

They had never seen such a weird thing before.

"You scum, if this world can be a little less peaceful, then let's be a little less evil!" Zhang Wei pulled out the Dragon Bird Sword from his waist with an expressionless expression and waved it lightly.

"No~" Looking at the sword light in front of them, the three of them were horrified, but they still could not change their fate.

I saw a gust of wind blowing by, and the knives in their hands turned into ashes bit by bit, and then their bodies.

"Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust. I hope you won't be human again in the next life."

Looking at the three people who were completely reduced to ashes, Zhang Wei said indifferently.

For Zhang Wei, this was just a small episode, and it did not affect him from continuing on his way.

Fortunately, he finally found a clear river and was able to take a good bath and wash his clothes.

My body finally became clean and tidy again.

……

Another five days passed. As the number of people gradually increased along the way, he no longer had to sleep in the wilderness.

Because it is getting closer and closer to "Xinzheng", the capital of South Korea, the life of the people here seems to be pretty good. At least they have the minimum safety guarantee, which is much better than other places.

As a man of gold, he lived quite comfortably these five days.

Finally, one morning again, Zhang Wei finally came to a huge city.

"Xinzheng"!
Looking at the two huge inscriptions on the city gate, he knew that the destination of his trip had arrived. This was the capital of South Korea: Xinzheng.

The homes of Han Fei and Princess Honglian are in this city, as are beauties such as Zi Nu and Nong Yu.

The plot of Tian Xing Jiu Ge also takes place in this city.
