I killed the film and television world

Chapter 186 Dare to kill my horse

Seeing Song Ren suddenly appear and block in front of him.

Mao Shanming was panicked, but he pretended to be calm.

He coughed lightly and said, "My fellow Taoist, do you have anything else to say?"

Song Ren looked Mao Shanming up and down.

When he saw the other person just now, because it was dark and Song Ren didn't pay much attention, he didn't recognize the other person at first.

But after he summoned two ghosts, one big and one small, Song Ren was reminded of a character in the movie Mr. Spirit.

I came here just to confirm it.

Sure enough, it was Maoshan Ming.

The character of Mao Shanming is actually quite contradictory.

He is obviously a cultivator, yet he keeps ghosts for himself.

They even use the hands of ghosts to commit fraud and deception.

But to say that he is a wicked and evil person because of this is far from the truth.

He was just raising a ghost out of kindness, taking in two wandering ghosts.

The past days of both parties were lonely.

As they spent more time together, they developed a deep bond.

As for cheating and deceiving, it was because life was difficult and he was forced to do so.

Life is not easy, and he has little ability.

I can only barely make a living by working for some wealthy dog ​​owners.

Even in the film, the character Mao Shanming once appeared to have a strong sense of justice.

When encountering problems, he will usually stand up to them within his ability.

This is actually quite good.

At least it is much better than Uncle Jiu’s disciples.

The disciple of Uncle Nine in Mr. Spirit is a character who carries the comedy burden, so you can also have fun from a third-person perspective while watching the movie.

But if you put yourself in their shoes, what they did was really outrageous.

I can only say that Uncle Jiu might have accepted disciples for the sake of being funny.

Those disciples did not learn anything from Uncle Jiu's character and personality.

……

Song Ren recognized the Queen of Maoshan and said bluntly:
"Master, we met each other by fate. I have a humble request."

"I just want to borrow something from you."

Mao Shanming felt his scalp tingling when he heard this.

This, this is not going to take my life, right?

He forced a laugh: "Daoyou——"

Song Ren interrupted, "Master, I am only a martial arts master, not a Taoist."

Mao Shanming's eyes twitched. It seemed that the demon-slaying just now was still amateurish.

He asked cautiously, "Brother, what do you want to borrow?"

Song Ren's eyes fell on Mao Shanming's backpack:
"Can you lend me one of these oil-paper umbrellas that can seal away ghosts?"

"Of course, if you offer me an offer, I can buy it."

"Or we can barter for other things."

Mao Shanming was surprised when he heard this and asked, "What do you want the Bagua umbrella for?"

Song Ren did not answer, but smiled and asked: "What do you think?"

Mao Shanming smiled awkwardly and coughed, but still said: "Brother, since you are not a cultivator, why do you take the initiative to touch those things?"

Song Ren didn't want to explain at all, so he said: "Master, you are a Taoist, but why do you keep those things?"

What he meant was obvious.

We are both the same, so why ask so many whys?

Mao Shanming was speechless and said with his head down: "Okay, I was too talkative."

His tone relaxed a little. Seeing that Song Daoren had restrained his fierceness and sharpness, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart: "Brother, this Bagua Umbrella was actually made by me with great effort."

Song Ren was too lazy to talk too much, so he interrupted directly, "Ten taels of silver."

Mao Shanming's eyes lit up and he secretly swallowed his saliva, but seeing that Song Ren was so straightforward, he pretended to be embarrassed: "This, this, is actually not about how much money is -"

Song Ren: "Twenty taels."

Mao Shanming's Adam's apple rolled, and he said with difficulty: "Brother, twenty taels is really——"

Song Ren was too lazy to continue bargaining with him and directly took out a fully loaded Type 54 pistol.

In the current chaotic era, this thing is much more valuable than silver, and it should be enough to use it for barter.

He handed over the Type 54 pistol: "What about this one?"

Mao Shanming didn't wait for him to speak, he bent down at 90 degrees at the speed of light, presented a Bagua umbrella with both hands, and said very quickly: "Brother, twenty taels is too much."

"How about this, brother. You and I are destined to meet each other, so I'll give you this Bagua umbrella."

Song Ren was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wasn't he still dissatisfied and didn't want to exchange?

Why is it being delivered now?

Song Ren was a little uncertain: "Then this gun..."

Mao Shanming was immediately embarrassed: "One handful is not enough?"

Song Ren: “?”

Are our conversation on the same channel?
Despite this, he nodded: "Enough."

He just needed an object to seal away the sneaky things, maybe it would come in handy later.

After all, the female leader of the horse bandits was not at peace even after her death and would turn into an evil ghost.

Song Ren is quite good at dealing with people, but his abilities are limited when it comes to dealing with sneaky and elusive things.

Although Mao Shanming's Bagua Umbrella is not very powerful, it is at least a magical weapon for sealing ghosts.

The main thing is that it is simple to operate and easy to use, and does not require a complicated casting process.

Mao Shanming took the initiative to hand over a Bagua umbrella, and carefully explained: "Brother, I still have to remind you that the Bagua umbrella is a magical tool to seal sneaky."

"But my level is limited, so the magic tools I make are naturally also very limited."

"It can be somewhat effective against some wandering ghosts or sneakers that enter the umbrella on their own initiative."

"But against evil spirits, the Bagua Umbrella has almost no effect."

Song Ren: "It's okay, there will always be other ways."

He just needed a magical weapon to restrain sneaky people. It was too advanced and he couldn't use it without some Taoist magic.

This Bagua umbrella I have right now is pretty good. Although the quality is average, it is easy to use.

As for the reason why Mao Shanming took the initiative to give him a Bagua umbrella, Song Ren also guessed belatedly that the other party must have had the wrong idea.

However, he did not explain. He just took the initiative to give the other party some food. The value might not be equal, but he didn't have anything else on him.

I do have a silver note, but I haven't had the chance to exchange it for loose silver, so I can't give it all to Mao Shanming, so I'll temporarily thank him with some snacks.

……

After crossing the mountains and fields, Song Ren walked for a long time before entering a small town late at night.

The town was quiet, and most of the lights were off.

However, occasionally one can still see red and orange lanterns hanging outside the doors of some wealthy families on the streets.

This town should be called Taishan Town.

Because their route was in roughly the same direction as Mao Shanming's, the two of them walked together for a while.

The main reason was that Mao Shanming didn't dare to refuse and gave in.

Dabao and Xiaobao had told him secretly before this.

The man next to them was full of evil spirit, and the two little ghosts didn't even dare to get close to him.

That was why Mao Shanming behaved so restrained.

His destination on this trip was the wealthy man Tan Baiwan in Taishan Town, and he was asked by him to exorcise ghosts.

Song Ren remembered this plot, but he was not interested in Tan Baiwan.

I was not interested in the evil ghost in the rich man's house that moved people out of bed.

His target was that group of horse bandits, although the mission also stated that they had to reach the Silent Village within five days.

But eliminating the horse bandits and rushing to the quiet village are not contradictory.

There are still more than three days left before the deadline, but the distance is already very close, and we can enter the Silent Village at any time.

In this case, Song Ren was not in a hurry. He planned to meet the bandits first.

……

Horse bandits are different from mountain bandits.

Bandits are the kings of the mountains and have fixed mountain strongholds as their garrisons, so their destinations are often very clear.

The Danma bandits were roving criminals, basically moving to another location after each shot.

Especially the group of horse bandits who were the target of the mission. There were only seven of them, but they were all swindlers who lived in the open air and were even more homeless when they were on the move.

However, since they will attack the Silent Village in a few days, this gang must still be on the nearby hills.

In addition, these people have a brutal and brutal looting style, as well as a reputation that makes people terrified.

Song Ren estimated that there should be a lot of relevant information in some nearby towns and villages.

……

Late at night

Song Ren knocked on the door of a simple inn in Taishan Town and stayed overnight.

The price wasn't expensive, but Song Ren didn't have any change from that era.

He did have a silver note, but the bank was temporarily closed late at night.

Fortunately, before he separated from Mao Shanming, he borrowed a few pieces from him.

I really owe Mao Shanming a favor.

Although the other party might not take it to heart, he might even be greatly relieved to be separated from Song Ren.

But Song Ren kept it in mind.

Just wait until the next time you meet, and then return the favor.

the next morning
Song Ren went to the money shop to exchange the silver note for silver. The money shop deducted a small exchange fee, and the balance was 49 taels of silver, plus more than a hundred copper coins.

In today's world, if nothing unexpected happens, this amount of money can support a person's life for a long time.

And there was loose silver and copper coins.

In teahouses and taverns, it was much easier for Song Ren to ask people for some gossip.

Especially the group of horse bandits who have robbed several nearby villages and towns several times in recent days.

Some local warlords of all sizes have not had time to deal with them, but some wealthy people in several villages and towns have already organized manpower and material resources to suppress the bandits several times, but all have failed.

But we did get a lot of information about that group of horse bandits.

The female leader of the horse bandits was nicknamed Wang Po, and she was a sorcerer who practiced evil magic.

She has a total of six people under her, and most of them have learned some of her skills.

These people have a deep bond with each other, like a family bond like siblings.

We always eat and drink together and act together.

Because of his skills and seeming to be invulnerable to swords and guns, the wealthy owners of nearby villages and towns organized troops to suppress the bandits several times, but all of them failed without exception.

Instead, they themselves suffered heavy casualties, so much so that now every village and town is on guard.

Or some wealthy people simply gave up and took the initiative to pay a resettlement fee to the bandits in exchange for temporary peace.

We just need the local warlords to pay attention to this sooner and send out troops to suppress the bandits.

If this group of bandits didn't leave by then, they would surely be dead.

In more than a morning, Song Ren generously gave out more than ten taels of silver.

Pay for news.

These people directly ask for help from ten or a hundred people. As long as they have valuable information, they can get some reward money from Song Ren.

Soon, all kinds of news came in.

While Song Ren was drinking tea in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, news came to him one by one.

There are countless true and false messages in these related news.

But when there are enough of them, you can always find some valuable common points among them.

For example, when Zhang San went to the back mountain to collect firewood, he saw some traces of that group of people.

When Li Si was hunting in the back mountain, he saw some smoke somewhere.

These two pieces of information can be crossed out from the common time point and approximate location, thus confirming the whereabouts of some horse bandits.

By combining many such messages together, we can more or less effectively filter out some more valuable things.

It was obvious that the group of horse bandits came and went in a hurry and their whereabouts were strange.

But at the current stage, they still have not left the nearby villages and towns, but have simply escaped into the mountains.

It was not until after lunch that Song Ren sorted out several locations from various information channels.

He packed up his things briefly and set off alone.

These places were not too far away, so he rented a carriage and planned to go look for them one by one in the afternoon.

If he finds it, that would be the best, but if he really can't find it, then he can only go to the Quiet Village in advance. He is still looking forward to meeting Uncle Jiu.

……

Judging from the several locations where the news was summarized, they are basically gathered in several nearby mountains.

Unfortunately, Song Ren had just passed through that direction before he arrived.

The two sides didn't even meet face to face. We can only say that the bandits were quite lucky.

The coachman stopped at the foot of Cuiping Mountain. Even though Song Ren promised him a generous sum of money for the night, the coachman still refused to wait at the foot of the mountain.

He only promised Song Ren that he would wait for him until dark.

If he hasn't come out of the mountain after dark, he will not keep him company.

It’s not that the groom is timid, but recently there have been all kinds of messy rumors everywhere in the Cuiping Mountain area.

There are haunted places, people who have encountered fox spirits, horse thieves who kill people without blinking an eye, and bandits who eat human flesh raw.

People are saying all kinds of things, it's a complete mess anyway. Now few people dare to spend the night at the foot of the mountain, let alone go up the mountain.

Song Ren didn't want to make things difficult for the groom, so he simply bought the horse from him for ten taels of silver.

He tied the horse in a secluded place in the jungle and then went into the mountain alone.

A total of six locations were listed for the news.

Basically, they are all located in the Cuiping Mountain area and the scope is not too large.

But the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, so Song Ren picked up a wooden stick as a hiking stick, and then began to eliminate one place after another.

But after searching the six locations mentioned in the message, I ended up returning empty-handed.

Song Ren was a little confused, as none of the six locations were right.

It shouldn't be.

The sky had already darkened, and Song Ren walked back to the foot of the mountain feeling a little depressed.

Then he saw that the horse that he had tied in a secret place was gone, leaving only a leading rein.

Song Ren's face suddenly turned dark.

He also tied the horses deeper in the jungle.

There have been many crises here recently, and you may not see anyone all day.

But he didn't expect that the horse was gone in just one go?

So, the horse bandit was not found, the money was spent, and in the end the horse was still gone?
Song Ren's face immediately darkened.

Bastard!
Don't let me know it was that man who took my horse!

Song Ren was about to lose his temper when he suddenly shrugged his nose.

Ok?
"What does this smell like?"

Is it like the smell of grease when grilling meat?
Maybe it’s because of the distance, the taste is relatively light.

Song Ren also noticed this vaguely.

He followed the smell into the depths of the jungle and searched again.

After walking for a long time, the smell became stronger and stronger, and in the distance I could even see the smell of fireworks.

In an open space in the jungle, a group of seven people were dressed in strange clothes. They were all wearing black cloaks, and their faces were dark with special patterns painted on them.

Seven people were sitting in a circle in front of the campfire, enjoying a hearty meal.

The front half of a horse was placed on the campfire, and the back half of the horse's body was lying on the grass not far away, with blood still flowing.

Song Ren recognized at a glance that this was the horse he had just bought.

For a moment, his eyes widened:

"How dare you kill my horse, you bastard!"
