Crossing Douluo's Book of Life and Death

Chapter 85 Human Heart
Although Tang Yuan was a little puzzled, he didn't think too much, and immediately asked the old woman: "Old man, what's going on?"

The old woman sighed and spoke eloquently.

It turned out that the group of vicious people that Tang Yuan and Snow Girl saw just now were bandits from Bashi Village on the nearby Bashi Mountain, and that local dog soul master was the leader of the bandits, Ba Shi. The owner of Shizhai, known as "Vicious Dog", Zhang Er.

I heard from the old woman that this Zhang Er is a wanted criminal of the Barak Kingdom. He burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Three years ago, he brought a group of desperadoes to Bashi Mountain and became a bandit. When the guards of the Barak Kingdom heard the news, So they sent troops to suppress, Zhang Er heard the news, and immediately hid, the guards searched in the mountains for several days, but did not see Zhang Er, so they had to give up.

Later, the guards never came again. I heard rumors that Zhang Er was a great soul master. Zhang Er's arrest warrant was revoked not long after.

From then on, Zhang Er led the bandits in Bashizhai to plunder food, gold and silver from nearby villages. In the past three years, none of the five villages at the foot of Bashi Mountain was spared. The village delivered a certain amount of food and money.

"What if you can't hand it over?" Tang Yuan interjected and asked.

The old woman said: "If you can't hand it over, the people in Bashizhai will go directly to their homes to grab money and food, count as much as they have, and take them away together. If they are not satisfied, they will tie up the men in the family and go to the cottage to do coolies." , When will the family make up the money and food owed, and when will the person be released."

Speaking of this, the old woman sighed and continued: "The harvest is better this year, and every family has surplus food. When they first came, let alone handing over food to them, every family can survive the winter without being hungry. It is not bad to die, and because of this, my two sons will go out to work, and only go home once in a while, so that they can earn money, and if the harvest is not good, they can use the money to pay off debts."

Tang Yuan frowned and asked: "If there is such a thing, is Barak Kingdom and Wuhun Palace left alone?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "In this small place, let alone the Wuhun Temple, the people in the Wuhun branch hall don't care at all because of the relationship with the owner's son, and the high-ranking officials of the Barak Kingdom were also bribed. No one is willing to pay for these things." Things, and the kingdom's high-ranking officials, and the young master of the Wuhun branch hall, are at odds with each other."

Tang Yuan clenched his fists and said angrily: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let him go so easily just now! Needless to say, scum like Wuhundian, I didn't expect Barak Kingdom to be so corrupt."

Snow Maiden heard the words and asked curiously: "Do you have enmity with Wuhundian?"

Tang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, knowing that he had slipped his tongue, he shook his head and said, "No, I just see them upset."

Snow Maiden smiled slightly, and said again: "That Zhang Er just now, did you let him go?"

Tang Yuan didn't know what she meant by her question, so he nodded in a daze and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Snow Maiden said: "Why didn't you kill him?"

Tang Yuan was startled, and said: "He...he didn't kill anyone, so there's no need...to take his life?"

Snow Maiden smiled slightly, teasingly said: "You have never killed someone before, have you?"

Old Tang Yuan blushed, and for a while he didn't know how to answer, he hesitated and couldn't say a word.

At this time, the old woman was startled and said: "Miss Snow, Mr. Tang, don't dare to kill him, he knows the young master of the Wuhun Temple, if you kill him, you will be in trouble, we can't afford to provoke the Wuhun Palace! "

Tang Yuan questioned: "Old man, I think you were in the village just now. When you saw us, you seemed very disturbed. Why? Aren't they stealing money and food? Wouldn't it be better to give them money and food?"

The old woman sighed: "Mr. Tang doesn't know something. Although the bandits in Bashizhai went to various villages to rob money and food, they never took the initiative to kill the people in the village. More than a year ago, a few people came from the next door Xiaohun Village. When Bashizhai found out about the outsiders, they immediately sent people to take those outsiders back to the village by force. The men were killed, and the women... oh..."

Snow Maiden's phoenix eyes flickered, and said: "So you lied to them that we are your distant relatives?"

The old woman nodded.

Tang Yuan asked: "Hey, these bandits are interesting. They only rob the local villagers but don't kill them, but they rob and kill the outsiders. Why?"

Snow Maiden smiled and said: "It's not easy. The bandits in Bashizhai rely on a few nearby villages for food. If they kill all these villagers, there will be no one to farm or produce. No matter how much they can rob, they must Drink the northwest wind, as for the outsiders, there is no limit, come and kill one, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Tang Yuan suddenly said: "So that's the case, Miss Xue is really insightful."

Hearing Tang Yuan's praise, Miss Xue couldn't help but feel a little happy, and there was another red glow spreading under her jade-like snow skin.

At this time, the old woman said anxiously: "Mr. Tang, Miss Xue, go away. Today you beat Zhang Er, the leader of the bandit, and he will definitely not let it go. If he finds someone from the Wuhun branch, you will be in danger." , before they have time to react, let’s leave as soon as possible.”

Tang Yuan was not in a hurry, and said: "Old man, do you know the strength of the master of the Wuhun branch hall?"

The old woman said: "I don't know, I just heard from them that the Lord of the Barak Kingdom's Wuhun branch is a powerful soul master."

Snow Maiden said at this time: "Old man, we are leaving, what should you do?"

The old woman shed tears and said: "Don't worry about me, I'm from this village, no matter how domineering Zhang Er is, he won't do anything to me, at most, just give them more money and food, you'd better go, wait until then It will be too late for the bandit leader to return!"

"They can't go!"

Just at this time, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away.

Several people looked back and saw a group of villagers who had lit many torches and were gathering and walking here.

An old man in the lead stood up with a cane and said, "They can't leave. If they leave, then Bashizhai will find no one when they come back. Wouldn't it mean that our village will suffer?"

Tang Yuan and Snow Maiden frowned slightly when they heard this.

The old woman stood up and said, "Brother Village Chief, you can't help it! If they don't leave, will they end up in that second hand?"

The village head knocked on his crutches and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't know if they will end well, I only know that if they leave, we will end well!"

"Yes! Can't let them go!"

"That's right, tie them up and hand them over to Bashizhai!"

"Can't let them go!"

"Village chief, arrest them quickly!"

……

For a while, "the crowd was excited."

Seeing this scene, Tang Yuan was extremely angry, how could there be such an unreasonable and spineless person.

Miss Xue seemed to see what Tang Yuan was thinking, so she took a step forward and stood beside him.

A gust of fragrant wind hit Tang Yuan's heart, and he turned around to look.

Just listen to the snow girl said lightly: "This is life. Everyone lives for their own interests. If their interests are threatened, they can even abandon their relatives, let alone us two people who have never met and are insignificant." ?”

Hearing Miss Xue's words, Tang Yuan couldn't help being greatly moved.

In Tang Yuan's previous life, although he was abandoned by his parents, he was terminally ill, and was tortured by serious illnesses every day, but in the days of the orphanage, he received different care and care. He had no chance to come into contact with the sinister people in the world.

And Tang Yuan in this life, even though he was taken away by the Spirit Hall and separated from Tang Hao, but by chance, he met Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong's love for him was no less than the love every parent has for their own children. And what's more.

Therefore, when Tang Yuan was born again, he didn't have a very deep understanding of the four words "people's hearts are sinister".

At this time, the old woman cried: "Brother Village, we can't do this, they are still young, if you hand them over to Bashizhai, they will be destroyed!"

Regardless of the old woman's plea, the village chief snorted coldly, "Hmph, what's none of my business? Come here! Tie them up!"

When the old woman heard this, she became even more anxious. She didn't bother to plead with the village chief, but turned around and said to Tang Yuan and Miss Snow, "Go away! Go away!"

Snow Maiden patted the old woman's hand and said, "Okay, old man, don't worry, we'll leave now."

Hearing this, the group of villagers behind the village chief couldn't wait, and sent a few strong and tall villagers, took the ropes, and stepped forward to tie Tang Yuan and Snow Maiden.

Tang Yuanhan said in a cold voice: "You have such courage, you didn't go against the bandits, you just accepted it, and now you come to bully us two outsiders."

A villager said: "Hmph, what do you know at such a young age!"

Tang Yuan took a step forward, stood in front of Miss Xue and the old woman, released his martial spirit, and said: "You are afraid of that bandit because he is a soul master, and I am also a soul master, so you are not afraid of me?"

For a moment, the book of life and death burst into golden light, one yellow, two purple, and three soul rings rose from Tang Yuan's feet, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.

The few villagers who were holding the rope and trying to tie Tang Yuan and Xue Maiden together couldn't help but startled when they saw this, and took two steps back. Only then did they remember that the handsome young man in front of them was also A powerful soul master, and also defeated Zhai Zhang Er of Bashizhai.

A villager turned his head and said bitterly: "Village chief, this..."

The village chief said angrily: "What are you waiting for? Those soul masters in the Wuhun Branch Hall are stronger than this kid. If we don't catch them, we will have nothing to eat. He is alone, and everyone will go together! I I can't believe I can't take it!"

"Okay!" All the villagers shouted loudly, and they were a little excited. After all, soul masters are too far away for them. How can they be calm when they are about to take down a soul master?

Seeing a group of villagers rushing in, there were about dozens of them, and every villager's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

Tang Yuan sighed and shook his head, feeling sad in his heart.

A powerful soul power surged out of Tang Yuan's body, and a strong wind blew out, immediately knocking the villagers flying one by one.
