Chapter 28: Lu encounters a horse bandit who kills a life and saves a life
In the northern region, the reddish-brown land stretches as far as the eye can see. There is no vegetation, no water source, and there is only emptiness and silence.There are countless source mines here. For endless years, the major holy lands and aristocratic families have been controlling the source mines of the Northern Territory, bringing countless wealth and resources to their families and sects.

It has been more than a month since Li Qiye teleported to the Northern Territory through the domain gate of Taixuan Sect. During this month, he has been rushing towards Zishan. He didn't know where Zishan was at first, but he encountered many The robbers kept him from running around like a headless chicken.

Banditry is rampant here, and there are sects and bandits behind them to support them, so they are very unscrupulous, and they want to rob all the monks who come here.

And he has already encountered several groups of such bandits, the cultivation level is not high, the highest is the other side, and they can't survive a face-to-face in front of him, and they are wiped out.

But today he encountered another wave of bandits, a group of bandits on horseback, actually looting towards him, and those horses had sacks tied tightly with hemp rope, highlighting the outline of a human figure.

It seems that this group of horse bandits had robbed nearby villagers before.

At this time, one of the tall men with beards and a scar at the corner of his eye sat on the horse and looked down at Li Qiye. He seemed to be the leader of this group of horse bandits. The scars became more terrifying.

He grinned grinningly and asked, "Boy, hand over all the previous treasures on your body, and then lie down on the ground and don't move. Maybe I will spare your life, sir."

Li Qiye put his hands behind his back and looked at him calmly, "I don't like to look up at others, it will make me very uncomfortable."

The horse bandit was taken aback, and then sneered, "This is the Northern Territory, where strength is order and rules. You are uncomfortable because you are too weak, so weak that you can only look up to me, I..."

"boom!"

The head of the horse bandit who was talking was shot by a divine light, and his brain and blood splattered everywhere. Except for Li Qiye, the faces and bodies of the other horse bandits who were close were all covered in flesh and blood, so they didn't feel any pain for a while. react to.Afterwards, expressions of horror appeared on their faces, knowing that they had caused big trouble this time, they all started to run away.

"Whispering! I don't have any eyesight at all, how did I survive till now?"

Seeing those fleeing in all directions, he sneered, "I still want to escape in front of me!" I saw that the space within a radius of 50 meters suddenly distorted, and the terrain shifted.

Those horse bandits who were still running suddenly found that the more they ran, the more they ran, and the distance that should have been farther seemed to be shortened, and they saw the man who killed their boss in front of him. He wanted to change direction, but it was useless. No matter how you change direction, you will get closer to the man.

Then he found that his body was decaying and turning into fly ash, as if his body had been exposed to wind and sun for hundreds of thousands of years, it turned into ashes and disappeared in the sky and earth in the blink of an eye.

Those cloth bags that were tied up immediately also turned into dust, and the people inside were exposed. They were all a group of young women. At this moment, they all looked around in horror, and then looked at him, with a hint of expectation in their eyes. Hopefully said, "Senpai, did you save us?"

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry, those horse bandits have been killed by me, you can go home with peace of mind."

When the group of women heard this, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him for saving their lives. Li Qiye quickly raised his hand, and they all stood up.

At this time, Li Qiye said to them, "Don't be grateful, I just do it conveniently. By the way, do you know how far it is from Zishan here?"

"Benefactor, are you going to Purple Mountain?" one of the older women said.

Li Qiye nodded.

"Our village is at the foot of Zishan. Since the benefactor is going to Zishan, he just happened to be on the way. Why not go with us. Although we are tied in bags and we don't know how far we ran, but we live here all year round, so it is easy to find direction."

When Li Qiye heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that now he finally didn't need to ask the horse bandits for directions. He had killed a lot of horse bandits during this time, but sometimes he forgot to ask them where Zishan was after killing them, so he wasted some time .

Then he walked with a group of women. They lived in the northern region all year round and were familiar with the mountains and rivers here, so it was not difficult to find the way back. In addition, there were horse footprints on the ground, which made it a lot easier to find.

It took half a day to finally find the direction, but there were so many people that he couldn't fly them there, so he could only walk to Zishan, and he had to take care of these women along the way, so the journey was very slow, and it took more than three days to finally get there. Arrived at Zishan.

Along the way, he wiped out a lot of horse bandit strongholds, some of which were provided by women, and some things he got from the bandits. It can be said that almost all the horse bandits nearby were killed, which can be regarded as helping them reduce the number of horse bandits. potential crisis in the village.

"Benefactor, our village is in front of us. We have lived here for generations!" The women were very excited, and the crying alarmed the people in the village. Some people were very excited when they saw them, and someone rushed over to pull They asked, and some people called the village chief to come over.

Soon an old man with a gray beard and a stooped body came over, and after hearing the answers from the women, he kowtowed and knelt down to thank Li Qiye.

Li Qiye hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Don't do this, old man, I can't afford you to do this kind of gift! Helping them also saw that those horse bandits are vicious and cruel, and they bully mortals just because of their level of cultivation. Naturally, they should be killed. Don't do that."

"You saved them. This is kindness. It's a pity that we didn't repay you. I'm really ashamed." The old man said with a bit of shame on his face.

Li Qiye waved his hands and smiled, "No, they helped me. I got up this time to go to Purple Mountain. They just said that you are at the foot of Purple Mountain, which saved me a lot of effort. There is no need to give What repayment."

When the old man heard this, he said anxiously, "Senpai, you are going to the magic mountain! You can't go there! There is a great horror in that mountain. Many people have gone in and never come out again. My two ancestors, Zeng and Jin, also went in. , I haven’t come out since then, it’s an ominous place, there’s death, there’s no life, don’t take risks.”

Li Qiye heard that two ancestors of the old man had been there before, and thought in his heart that they might be the descendants of Yuan Tianshi, and it is really possible.

Then he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that? I think that Zishan is tall and majestic, and it doesn't look like an ominous place."

Hearing his question, the old man breathed out in a low voice, and then talked about the past of his ancestors.

There was a Yuan Tianshi from his ancestors, because his surname was Zhang, he was called Zhang Tianshi.Back then, with his ability to find the source and pulse, he also created a great reputation in Beidou, was honored as the guest of honor by countless sects of the Holy Land, and even attracted the hearts of the saints of the Yaochi Holy Land.

It's just that his ancestor never came out again in order to explore Zishan. 500 years ago, his other ancestor wanted to find the footprints of Yuan Tianshi's ancestor, and wanted to bring his bones back. Unfortunately, Yuanshu only learned a little. Did not come out again.

Hearing this, Li Qiye also confirmed in his heart that the old man is the descendant of Yuan Tianshi.In the original book, the Yuantian master was unknown in his later years because of practicing Yuantian scriptures. Before he left, he also left a lot of treasures in the village.

Thinking of this, his eyes could not help but light up, this is a good thing, he is most in short of treasures at the moment, if he takes out all the legacy left by Yuan Tianshi in the village, maybe it can increase his strength to a certain extent.

After thinking about it, he said to the old man, "Old man, I heard that Yuan Tianshi has the ability to search for the source and pulse. Your ancestors have appeared in Yuan Tianshi. Presumably, they should have left behind Yuan Tianshi's means and some treasures. How could it be?" Haven't come down here?"

The old man also smiled wryly when he heard the words, "It's not because of the ancestors, it's because the descendants are not up to date. They can't learn the Yuantian magic, they can only learn superficially. 500 years ago, the second ancestor brought the "Yuantian Scripture" with him in order to enter Zishan. After entering it, there are even fewer Dharma Doors left by our lineage, and it is nothing in my hands so far.

As for the treasures, we have lived here for generations, and we have not found any treasures left by our ancestors. Maybe it is because our unfilial children and grandchildren are not good at learning, so we can't find them. "

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Since you're here, why don't you show me, maybe I can help you find the treasure?"

When the old man heard this, he said with a smile without saying anything, "Well, I will show you around. If there is a treasure, you can take it. You saved the lives of the people in our village and wiped out the horse bandits around here. Treasures are not enough to repay your kindness."

Li Qiye said, "Don't get me wrong, old man, I am indeed interested in your ancestors' treasures. If there is something I really need, I won't take it for nothing. I will exchange it with you. If you don't need it, you can keep it."

The old man shook his head, "No, we're just mortals. It's useless for us to really want treasures, and it will bring disasters instead. You don't have to worry about it."

Li Qiye didn't say anything, he didn't want to take it for nothing, but there are indeed some things in it that he can use, such as Shenyuan, Renyuan Fruit, and the stone gall that can awaken Yuantian Divine Eye.

Walking around the village, he also found the treasures hidden in the stone mills and stone mills, and told the old man, who asked someone to take away the stone mills, stone mills, and stone benches left by his ancestors. come out.

Although most of them were empty, and some had red hair, which looked horrifying, there were still treasures unearthed from some stone tools, including the fist-sized Shenyuan he needed, human yuan fruit, stone gallbladder, There were also two petrified elixir of immortality, which seemed to be dead, but Li Qiye stayed behind, purely for the reason that thieves would never leave.

After finishing all this, Li Qiye took out the pure water bucket he had placed for a long time from the system space, which contained the holy spring he had obtained in the ancient forbidden land before.

He asked the villagers to take a large jar and pour water into it. When he saw enough water for the villagers to drink together, he poured the holy spring in the barrel into the jar, pouring nearly one-fifth of it.

Drinking these can not only prolong their lifespan, but also improve their aptitude, and maybe they can step into cultivation, which can be regarded as the end of the cause and effect of taking treasures.

Then he said to the old man, "Old man, my trip is going to Zishan. I will go no matter it is dangerous or not, so I won't keep any more. After you drink the water in this tank, you can prolong your life and improve your qualifications."

The old man also shook his head helplessly when he heard it. He knew he couldn't persuade him, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something."

After a while, he came back with a stone box. When he opened it, it was a piece of clothing made of stone skin. He knew what it was. The old man gave it to him and told him to wear it to avoid some dangers in Zishan. This is what his ancestors told him.Let him put it on and go in, very carefully.
