number one leader

Chapter 208
After resting properly, the old Taoist fortune-teller calculated for a while, then walked in another direction.

If so, he was passing through a forest, when he was shaking his head and complacently, there was a whistle sound, and several thugs with knives jumped out, but they were robbing the road and cutting the path.

The old Taoist was also a whole person, so he immediately went to the ground, but before the thief arrived, he had already rolled four or five times, and cried to himself: "Old Taoist, my life is miserable. If I live in the rivers and lakes, I will be hungry and full." .My clothes are tattered, and I haven’t had enough to eat yet, but now I’m seeing Lord Yama again for no reason, my God.”

The gangsters stopped and saw that he was indeed in ragged clothes, and his sallow and emaciated appearance did not seem to be a fake. He was probably a jingle guy, so they couldn't help but feel helpless.

It is a bit wrong to say that these people are bandits, but this group of people escaped from the famine in Chuzhou.Although it's a matter of catastrophe, but after all, when I meet this degenerate person who is also in the end of the world, I can't help but feel a sense of desolation in my heart.

The bandit headed by him was called Wang Laobei, and this man was also soft-hearted. It seemed that the old Taoist priest had nothing to do with it, so he didn't want to rob him at all, he just greeted his brothers and turned around to leave.

On the ground, the old Taoist saw a few people turn around and wanted to leave, his old eyes turned around, but suddenly he called out: "Everyone, don't go."

The gangsters turned their heads, but saw the old Taoist pat the dust on his body and said: "Thank you for your mercy, the old Taoist also wanders in the rivers and lakes on weekdays. Although he is conceited, he can tell fortunes and divination. Add the word 'efficiency'. You should also be born in poverty, and the old Taoist is willing to do the math for you heroes and guide you."

People like Wang Laoping are quite convinced of these supernatural things, so they simply turned around and walked over and said: "I just surprised the old man."

"It's okay."

"My brothers and I actually came from Chuzhou to escape from the famine, and we had a bit of skill in our hands. We had no choice but to enter the green forest and become bandits. But the road ahead is vast, and it is really hard to know. I hope the old man can show us the way."

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes, and pretended to circle around the crowd again, pinching his fingers fast, stopped after a while, and said immediately: "Everyone, you can go east, and enter the forest before the sun goes down. There must be a harvest!"

All of them were overjoyed, they hurriedly expressed their thanks, and then asked: "I don't know the old man's name yet."

"The old Taoist walks the rivers and lakes, tells fortunes and divinations, and is called a half-day fairy." The old Taoist shook his head, with a sense of complacency on his face.

"Do you know what a Banri Immortal is?"

The bandit was stunned for a moment, and tentatively said: "Walk all over the rivers and lakes for half a day, cheating in all directions?"

"Bah" the old Taoist jumped up immediately, and scolded: "I don't know which old man put this sentence on the old man. This is clearly jealousy and framed! The old man is a good or bad word, half a day to spend half a day Immortal!"

"Hurry up, don't miss the good news!"

The gangsters responded, Wang Laobie was full of ambition, even his spirit could not help but cheer up a lot, he led a few brothers to ride on the horses he had picked up, and ran eastward while shouting.

The old Taoist looked at the dusty official road, and said with a sinister smile: "If you guys from the forest dare to scare my old man, you have to suffer a little bit first."

After saying that, he also shook his head and walked in the same direction in a leisurely manner.

The sun gradually moved, and the west was full of rays of light. On the official road, there was a horse's hoof stepping softly.

The horse is a white horse, its whole body is like snow, its four hooves are like clouds, it kicks up on the dust, its sound is unhurried, and it feels somewhat leisurely.

There are bandits in the forest, but they are none other than Wang Laobing.

They really listened to the old Taoist's words, and they have been hiding in this forest until now.They were already desperate, they thought they had been fooled by that old guy, they never thought that someone would really come.

Seeing the handsome white horse, they were all happy, and wondered to themselves, isn't this the "great thing" that the old fortune teller said?

As a result, everyone had long regarded it as something in their own pockets in their hearts, and they clenched their long knives in all directions, gesturing to each other.

When the white horse was in the middle of its journey, suddenly there was a whistle, and all the bandits jumped out from both sides, their eyes were glued to the white horse, and they were even more greedy.

Such a good horse is very handsome. If it is in such a prosperous place as Yangzhou, it should not be worth ten thousand gold.

If this business is successful, it will be really a big deal, half a day Xiancheng will not deceive me!
As for not being able to do it. The gangsters' eyes fell on the bald head of the man riding the horse, and they couldn't help but have ambitions in their chests.

Wang Lao laughed proudly, stood up with his knife in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Vald donkey, get off your grandfather's horse quickly! Don't dirty this godly horse."

On the horse's back, there is just a young monk, who is kind-hearted and handsome, any woman who sees him will look back frequently, sighing in her heart that she was born with such a appearance, how could she follow suit? What about the green lantern to accompany the ancient Buddha?
But the gangsters are not women, and they don't have that kind of thoughts, but the handsome monk is not as good as this white horse, just like they think that the rosary beads in the young monk's hands are not enough to match the sharp knife in their own hands.

The young monk didn't lift his eyelids, his ears didn't seem to hear, he just turned the rosary in his hand unhurriedly.

The white horse seemed to be spiritual, facing the sharp blade of the long knife, it didn't have the slightest fear, it just raised its hooves and walked away unhurriedly.

The gangsters were proud at first, then ashamed and angry, Wang Laoping was even more angry, and he took the lead in attacking, but he wanted to set an example for his brothers.

The white horse was worth tens of thousands of gold, so the long knife in his hand was naturally not willing to cut off the horse's hoof, but jumped up vigorously, aimed the long knife at the young monk's fine head and chopped it off fiercely.

"clang"

Flesh and flesh head, but there is the sound of gold and stone, Wang Laobei looked at the broken Bailian knife in his hand in astonishment, his eyes were full of doubts about the three views.

Died. Is the monk's head harder than a sword these days?

The young monk didn't even raise his eyes, but lowered his eyebrows.

He didn't believe in this evil, so he called out, and all the bandits slashed over together, but when the several long knives slashed down, there was only a clanging sound, but the long knives were all blocked by the monk with his flesh and blood, and then It didn't even hurt half of the fur.

This time, even though Wang Lao was blind and couldn't see the depth of the monk, he already knew that something was wrong.

Taking a deep breath, the bandits backed away quietly.

Seeing that the young monk had no intention of raising his head, the gangsters heaved a sigh of relief, threw their knives and ran away.When they came to the horse hiding place and got on the horse, the few people didn't dare to express their anger, they drove the horse and galloped, and ran far away until they couldn't see the shining bald head and the white horse, and then they let go of their worries.

Bah, Lao Shizi's half-day immortal!It is clear that they are waiting for me to die!

----------------

Another hurried walk all the way, the bandits were really hungry and hungry, their stomachs were empty, and their spirits were also decaying.

"Boss Wang, let's find a place to eat some food first." Some bandit's stomach was beating like a drum, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

Wang Lao looked up at the sky with a gloomy face, and the night had already darkened.

They have been deceived by that old Taoist since noon in the daytime, and they are really tired from running all the way, and they don't make much money. They are pitiful and pathetic.

"Then it's better to hunt some wild game on the mountain. It's better to leave our brother's food behind." Wherever Wang Laoping looked, there was clearly a village under the mountain. His stomach was also empty. The acidic water kept tumbling, and the mouth was tasteless, but even so, he ignored it.

For example, he and his group were all from poor families before. Although Wang Laobei had never had the ambition to work hard and entered the green forest again, he still has a bottom line and integrity.

In the past, they were all bitter people, even if they become bandits, they can't rob other people, otherwise this is nothing!

Wang Laoping didn't understand any major principles, he just felt that this was wrong, and all the bandits also felt that way in their hearts.

Therefore, everyone was unanimous, they all said that they had never seen the village, but went up the mountain.

All the gangsters agreed that people are not made of iron, they would panic if they didn't eat for a day, and they were always running around, they couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brothers, cheer up!" Wang Laobao still has a high prestige among this group of bandits, he uttered the words like this, and immediately led the bandits to gallop towards the mountain.

As the horses approached, all the bandits tied up their horses and dismounted to climb the mountain.

Among the crowd, there are quite a few guys who used to be hunters, so they are all skillful, and they are best at foraging in the mountains and forests.

"Little Six, I want to pay my respects to a Buddhist temple. Where is it more effective?" Wang Laobian lit the fire himself, and called the bandit to ask.

Little Six looked at his boss in astonishment, "Boss, don't be impulsive! Buddhist temples are really not something we can provoke with our little arms and legs."

"Where?" Wang Lao waved his hands, but there was a bit of silence on his face, "Little six, you also know that the disaster in Chuzhou caused my family to be separated, but there is a younger sister who is lost."

It was rare for this gangster to show tenderness, "I can't find a girl this day, and I feel uneasy all day! I'm afraid this is not the only family member left in my life."

Speaking of the emotional part, the gangster couldn't help tearing his eyes, and he wiped it again and again, choked up in his mouth and said:

"Yes, I'm going to worship the Buddha and kowtow to the Bodhisattva."

"Perhaps, with the protection of the Bodhisattva, it is hard to say that my sister will be able to meet me again in the future."

Mentioning this, Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but feel sore, his parents are also from Chuzhou.But he came to Ningzhou to seek some food, he didn't want Chuzhou to suffer disaster, he returned in panic, but his parents' whereabouts were already unknown.In such a situation, he no longer had the heart to go to work, so he stayed in Chuzhou to look for it.But the disaster was worse than the flood, and it was even more difficult for him to move forward and backward while living in it, and he almost disappeared among the victims.But fortunately, he met Wang Laobian, so he saved his life, so he followed Wang Laobian and his party.

Old Wang's sister is living outside, and his younger son's parents are also separated. Both of them are people who have fallen in the end of the world. It's a tragic time.Wang Laobian sighed, which made him sigh in his heart; Wang Laobian wanted to go to the Buddhist temple to pray to the Bodhisattva, and he also wanted to kowtow.

He just thought about it, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said worriedly: "I'm waiting. Now they are all green forest bandits."

"I'm afraid we will be killed by the monks in the temple on the spot when we go to worship the temple?"

They are bandits, and the latter are Buddhists.

It can be said that it will be somewhat interesting in later generations. This is like a thief running to a government agency to show off, and it is not a self-inflicted trap.

Although it's not really a match, but if you send it to your door, who would be polite?

This is somewhat reasonable, but after all, Wang Laoping is older and has more knowledge. He turned the grill and shook his head and said, "We are considered to be robbers who robbed a veteran and were deceived to the bottom. Like this It's embarrassing, if the head of Ningzhou Green Forest hears about it, I'm afraid they won't want to accept us."

"Besides, even if it's a bandit, let's not talk about it, those monks can still tell." Speaking of this, he pulled out his waist knife and said with a look of displeasure: "Is it based on this?"

Speaking of which, this group of guys who were bandits and eaters all died together, which is really miserable.

"So, that's a coincidence, there is a temple in this mountain!"

This matter was settled, so Wang Laobian led all the brothers to finish eating, and then simply went to the Buddhist temple deep in the mountain forest under the leadership of Xiaoliuzi.

This group of gangsters really had no target, and Wang Laoping was an unreliable boss who would do whatever he wanted, so he made a decision, and the gangsters had no choice but to walk in the forest holding torches.

"Boss, this is the right way." The little six pointed to the blue stone road, and said to Wang Lao: "I have also worshiped in the past, and pilgrims always walk this way."

With the main road, there is no need for people to run around like headless chickens in the mountains and forests, so they followed the bluestone, and the gangsters walked for another quarter of an hour, and they could already see the lanterns in front of the Buddhist temple in the distance.

After walking for a while, the mountain wind howled, and the branches and leaves in the forest rustled. All the bandits had no reason to come, they only felt cold all over, and the yin energy permeated people.

It's strange to say that they walked for so long in the dark mountains and forests, they didn't feel much all the way, and they could still talk and laugh.But just seeing the main Buddhist temple arrived, he felt chills all over his body for no reason, as if someone was blowing air-conditioning behind his ears, and the atmosphere in the forest gradually became strange.

"Isn't this a famous Buddhist temple?" Wang Laoping was trembling with cold all over his body and asked, "Why do I only feel so gloomy?"

"There is also a strange smell." Another gangster had a sharp nose and sniffed carefully, "It's a bit sweet and fishy. It smells weird."

"I'm so afraid!" Thinking of his younger sister, Wang Laoping mustered up his courage, "How could the Buddhist temple be like this, everyone is a coward."

While speaking, he quickened his pace and led the gangsters for a while. He suddenly saw the main gate of the temple. The left and right lanterns were shaking under the mountain wind. The gate of the temple was painted bright red. Righteousness is magnificent, but right now it makes people feel chills for no reason.

"Is there anyone in that temple?" Wang Lao called boldly, but no one answered.

"I'll wait. People lost their way in the mountains and want to visit your temple for a while."

His voice was a little trembling, echoing in the mountains and forests, but still no one answered.

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Laoping stepped forward with his heart in his arms, and pushed open the temple door, but there was no lock, on the contrary, it was half-closed.

It's just that he took a look inside with the light of the torch just now, his whole body was chilled from scalp to toes, his eyes were wide open for a while, his face turned pale.

The bandits asked with concern: "Boss, how is it? Does the monk let us worship Bodhisattva?"

Mr. Wang was stiff all over, and he staggered back. The gangsters were far away, so they couldn't see clearly, just waiting for his boss to respond.

Turning his head around with some clicks, Wang Lao's face was already pale, and before the bandits could react, he yelled: "Ah!!! Inside"

The gangsters were all in fear at first, but they couldn't bear the surprise, they turned their heads and ran away instinctively.

Wang Lao's legs were stiff and weak, and his front, back, and crotch were already wet.I just felt chills on my back, and even scrambled down the stone ladder, and ran wildly into the forest without looking back.

"Grandson. Wait, wait."

In the mountains and forests, in the darkness of night, the bandits ran away loudly, like chickens without a head in their haste, they just covered their heads and walked away.

This is even more so for Wang Laobian, he doesn't know where he is running, he will not see the bluestone road earlier, he doesn't know where to throw the torch in his hand, and the moonlight in the forest is hard to fall. My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I didn't dare to look back, and I didn't dare to slow down.

Suddenly he didn't know where to go in the mountains, he felt as if he stepped on something, like a person
Thinking of this, he ran even faster, but then fell to the ground again, the road surface could not be seen clearly, he just felt that his feet stepped on four or five people, and he didn't respond.

He was terrified in his heart, he was terrified all day long, but suddenly he didn't pay attention, stepped on the ground and fell straight down the steep slope.

Needless to say, the scraping of branches and leaves, and bumping against sharp stones, his head was dizzy and he felt like he stopped, but his whole body passed out.

But before he passed out, Wang Laoping seemed to hear a muffled groan in his ear.
