Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 60 Jiuyao Mountains
By the way, who is this big man?
Xu Zisu's doubtful eyes flashed away.

"Yes, although you are bandits, you still have some humanity." The big man looked at the three of them and nodded with a smile: "Fan Hongnian is patrolling the Demon Division of a certain Ningzhou Prefecture."

So, is this place already the boundary of Ningzhou Prefecture?

"Okay, follow me into the house. I have something to ask you." Then he looked at Xu Zisu: "Little master, are you going with me?"

Xu Zisu nodded, very curious about the so-called mountain god.

Several people entered Juyi Hall and sat down separately.

"You are armed with the Seven Killing Swords. You must have been in the military."

Lin Huai's face tightened when he heard Fan Hongnian's inquiry.

"Don't worry, the matter of the army has nothing to do with my demon boss, so you don't have to be afraid."

Hearing this, Lin Huaicai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Qi, I am indeed from the military."

Fan Hongnian nodded. The Seven Killing Sword is a killing knife, and it is also a sword technique popular among the military. Only those who are born in the military can use it. Therefore, he asked this question. There was no surprise for Lin Huai's affirmation. .

"Since I was born in the military and it is not good to do anything, why should I become a king in the mountains and become a bandit in the grass?"

"Sir, my young status is not visible to the public. If I am the guardian of a family, I will inevitably be suspected by others. The family has suffered a disaster, and I have no choice but to make a living."

If not forced by life, who would fall into the trap of a bandit? Fan Hongnian did not dwell too much on this.

"I have heard the word mountain god more than once when I went to the mountains. I wonder what this mountain god is?"

"This······"

The three of them looked at each other with embarrassment, as if they didn't know where to start.

Xu Shengyun, an old student on the side, slowly said: "Let's talk down here."

"A year ago, a mountain god suddenly appeared in the Jiuyao Mountains. He gathered ferocious beasts, gathered villages, and plundered the population. Villages like mine need to be handed over and worshiped every month."

"I offer a thousand taels of silver every month, as well as some mountain spirit treasures, and the person who collects the offerings is the man who just died at the hands of two people. He is a subordinate of Qingshan Village, now called Menghu Village."

A thousand taels of silver a month is really a big appetite.

No wonder there have been fewer and fewer traveling merchants on official roads these days. It's actually because of this, Fan Hongnian frowned and thought to himself.

Fan Hongnian spoke again: "Is this mountain god a human? Or a demon?"

"I don't know about that." Xu Shengyun shook his head upon hearing this.

Fan Hongnian had a look of confusion on his face. The Jiuyao Mountains were huge. Not to mention the wild beasts in the mountains and forests, there were countless bandit villages and evil cultivators. Now, another mountain god named Lao Shenzi appeared. Even if he wanted to investigate, he could not do anything. If he loses his life again, it won't be worth it.

Looks like I need to go back and report.

After asking for some details again, Fan Hongnian stood up and left.

The three of them looked at each other, sighed, then looked at Xu Zisu, raised their hands and saluted: "Thank you, little master, for saving my life."

"There is no need to be polite to the three donors. What are your plans for the future?"

"Killing the people in Menghu Village means betraying the mountain god. I'm afraid there will be revenge soon. We are ready to disband the village and go our separate ways."

"That's very good. After all, these bandits and bandits are not making a legitimate living."

The three of them nodded helplessly. Although they were not making a living, fortunately they had a home. As soon as they left today, they would wander around the world, and they might die in that corner one day.

But in order to save his life, he had no choice.

After disbanding the stronghold and dividing the group into small groups, the bandits descended from the mountain in confusion.

"Take care, little master, I'll go down the mountain first."

"I wish all donors a safe journey."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xu Zisu's face, and he spoke smoothly.

The originally popular village suddenly became depressed. Looking at the people leaving, Xu Zisu did not choose to go down the mountain, but turned around and entered the house.Two days later,
There was a roar, and the cottage door slammed down.

I saw a group of fierce bandits walking in.

In an instant, Xu Zisu's figure disappeared from the house.

"Search for me. If you want to see the person alive, if you die, you want to see the body." The leader of the big man looked gloomy, looked at the village and spoke.

Xu Zisu, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this. Those corpses were all thrown into the back mountain. I'm afraid they had long been reduced to food for wild beasts. Only those who could find them would find them.

After some searching, of course, nothing was found.

The big man was also ruthless. With a ferocious smile, he threw out a torch, and suddenly the whole village was ablaze.

"go!"

Xu Zisu, on the other hand, was hanging behind him from a distance.

In the afternoon, after walking through the mountains and forests for two hours, I finally saw a mountain village again. The size of the mountain village was several times larger than that of Qingfeng Village.

There were dozens of people patrolling the surrounding area alone.

Xu Zisu raised his eyes and looked towards the cottage, and saw a black smoke cloud flickering.

The evil spirit and evil spirit are mixed together,
It seems that this copycat is not simple.

Xu Zisu turned around and disappeared into the forest.

The night was shrouded, and the shadow of fire flickered in the cottage, and a black shadow entered the cottage under the night with hidden breath.

Under the light of the fire, there was the noise of drinking and eating meat everywhere. After a quick glance, Xu Zisu walked towards the village.

hall, warehouse, prison~
There was actually a prison in a cottage. It was so bold. Looking at the dim light, I saw that the prison was full of people, merchants, civilians, men, women, and children. They wrinkled slightly and did not disturb them. It was not the time yet. .

Then it disappeared into darkness again.

"Ow!"

A tiger roar sounded, and the bandits who were drinking and eating meat fell silent.

The fierce light flashed in the eyes of the big man in the head, and he drank the wine in the bowl, and fell to the ground with a 'pop'.

"Kill him for me, for daring to break into our Tiger Village."

A group of bandits held knives in one hand and torches in the other, and walked towards the place where the roar of the tiger came from with a ferocious smile.

Xu Zisu showed a look of helplessness on his face, he didn't expect to be discovered.

"Monk, but you killed my husband."

The tiger in front of him turned into a graceful beauty, and the heroic tiger eyes stared at him.

A demon cultivator in the Spirit Sea Realm, whose cultivation level is similar to his.

It's really outrageous that a demon cultivator in the Spiritual Sea Realm can actually look at a tiger that has only been transformed into a congenital form.

Could it be that the tigress said that this is how it came about?
"The little monk said no, can the benefactor believe it?"

"What do you say?"

Xu Zisu smiled bitterly. Not only was he robbed of a monster, but he also had to take the blame for someone else. What kind of thing is this?

"Amitabha,"

"Whether the donor believes it or not, the poor monk should say that the demon tiger before was not killed by the young monk."

As he said that, a golden seal spit out from the palm of his hand, and when the tiger monster was dealing with it, it turned into a golden light and disappeared in the cottage.

It's not that he can't be defeated, but the so-called mountain god doesn't seem to be here, so keeping this tiger demon is more useful than killing her.
