Chapter 338: All Dead Again
The village head bowed and said, "I wonder what the official wants these children to do? Country children have never seen the world and are naughty and mischievous. It would be bad if they disturbed the official."
"Disturb? Are you, a dignified Imperial Guard, afraid of disturbing a child?" The Imperial Guard said impatiently, "Don't make excuses. Just obey your orders!"
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
The village head turned around and ordered, "Go and bring out all the children in the village for the official to examine."
"Okay, Li Zheng, let's go right away!"
The villagers murmured in a low voice as they answered, "Village Head, I'm afraid they're here for Master Xiaojiu!"
"Should we hide Master Xiaojiu?"
The village head also whispered, "She must hide well. If all else fails, hide in the direction of Wild Bear Ridge. The wolves will protect her."
The village head was worried that the imperial guards would come into the village to search.
Seeing a group of people mumbling there, the leader of the imperial guards said dissatisfiedly, "Go! Anyone who dares to play tricks will be punished with the whole village!"
"No tricks! Send some cute stuff to me!"
A sweet little voice sounded without warning.
The villagers' mouths twitched.
"Sir Xiaojiu, are you kidding? I just decided to hide you, and you just ran out on your own?"
With the sound of clattering footsteps, a group of child soldiers, led by Xiao Jiuer, rushed out of the village, shouting as they ran: "Beat the bad guys! Beat the bad guys until they are crawling on the ground!"
There was a crackling sound, and the pebbles in the hands rained down on the imperial guards.
Don’t underestimate the army of kids. They don’t practice martial arts in vain every day. They are all very strong!
The imperial guards were caught off guard and were hit all over the head, and some of them were injured.
Villagers: “…”
Things have come to this point, there is nothing more to say.
The villagers exchanged glances with each other and sneaked back to the village to get the farm tools they needed.
As long as these people dare to harm Lord Xiaojiu, they will fight with these lackeys at the risk of their lives.
"You naughty monkeys! Stop it!" The village head cursed and apologized, "Sir, I'm so sorry, country kids are used to being wild! Sir, don't hold grudges against villains!"
The leader of the imperial guards took a deep breath and, thinking of the important things he had to do, he had to suppress his anger.
“Is this the doll of the whole village?”
The village head nodded quickly, "Yes, sir, except for the babies in swaddling clothes, all the children in Heihe Village are here!"
Everyone thought the leader of the imperial guards would be suspicious, but unexpectedly he just glanced at the dolls and said, "Okay!"
"There's a rumor in the capital that Heihe Village prospers because it's blessed by a lucky star. Now all the children of Heihe Village are here. So, please, Master Huineng, tell me which child is the lucky star?"
Zen Master Huineng said calmly, "Whether I speak or not, what do you think?"
As soon as the children came out, Zen Master Huineng came out right after them. At this moment, Zen Master Huineng was standing in front of the children.
“If the Zen master reveals who the lucky star is, we will bring him back to the capital and enjoy wealth and glory from then on;
If the Zen Master hadn't said it, it would have meant that Heihe Village had no lucky star at all. For them to have become world-famous in such a short time without any lucky star, there must be some evildoer secretly helping them!"
The leader of the imperial guards said this with a vicious look on his face, "Since there's a demon at work, we'd rather kill the wrongdoer than let him go! Unless the demon confesses, all of them will be treated as demons!"
"What did you say?!" The village head, who had been bowing respectfully, jumped up and said, "Are you still a human being if you say such things?!"
"Let's fight them!" The angry villagers rushed forward with hoes, shovels and spades, protecting the children behind them.
The leader of the imperial guards laughed heartily. "You think you can stop us? Master Huineng, can you bear to watch these people die at the hands of the imperial guards? Just hand over Fuxing and let us take him back to the capital, and all our problems will be solved!"
"Master, you can't listen to him. You can't hand over Fuxing!" Refugees from the capital rushed over from the other side of the wall.
"If Fuxing goes to the capital, she will definitely have a rough time! Because there's someone in the capital who thinks she's Fuxing! That person is so ruthless, how could she tolerate someone more capable than her?"
The leader of the imperial guards was so angry that his face turned black. "How dare you disobey the imperial court! Are you, these unruly people, planning a rebellion? Today, on behalf of the imperial court, I will wipe you all out!"
"Come on!" The sound of swords being drawn could be heard continuously, and the imperial guards drew their swords and rushed forward.
"Don't be afraid, folks, hide behind me!" Ye Yanping shouted.
"Amitabha!"
Zen Master Huineng faced the aggressive imperial guards, pushed out his palms flatly, and a strong internal force hit the imperial guards, knocking those in the front more than ten steps away. The people in the front fell on those behind, and the imperial guards were in chaos.
They only knew that many monks in Lingji Temple knew martial arts, but they never knew that Zen Master Huineng had such profound martial arts skills.
In fact, Zen Master Huineng didn't use much power at all, otherwise these people would have been killed by their internal organs shattered and vomiting blood.
"I don't kill."
Zen Master Huineng looked at the leader of the imperial guards calmly, "Since I have decided to stay in Heihe Village, I will naturally do my best to protect the people here. If you want to take action against any of them, you must get past me first."
The leader of the imperial guards got up from the ground in a state of disarray. "Master! Are you openly opposing the imperial court? You are a great monk. Rebellion will bring ruin to your reputation! Have you thought this through?"
"I have never said I want to rebel, and Heihe Village has never said anything about rebellion. It's just that you are the butchers and I am the meat. You are pushing me too far. If I don't resist, I will be killed by the knife."
"Very good." The leader of the imperial guards smiled instead of getting angry. "The Zen master doesn't kill, so that shouldn't be a problem for us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of imperial guards surrounded Zen Master Huineng. The Zen Master shook them off, but they quickly came up again.
The other imperial guards took advantage of this opportunity and rushed towards the villagers with determination.
Unexpectedly, a tall man holding an iron shovel stood in front of them like a demon.
"Zen masters don't kill, but I can! You want to attack Heihe Village? With just a few of you, you're not even enough to fill my teeth!"
The man raised the iron shovel and swept it, and the imperial guards flew out one after another. They lay on the ground and screamed in pain, and no one could get up.
"You...you..." The leader of the imperial guards collapsed to the ground, his face filled with astonishment. "No wonder Heihe Village dared to defy the imperial court. It turns out there are masters like you! But no matter how powerful you are, you can't withstand the imperial court's massive army!"
"Let's go!" The beaten imperial guards got up from the ground with grimaces, supporting each other and walking towards their horses.
The village head's face was filled with worry. "Once these people go back, our Heihe Village will be labeled as traitors!"
The villagers were so sad that they were speechless.
They never thought of confronting the imperial court, but now they have no choice.
In the depressing atmosphere, the soft and cute little voice rang out.
"It's hot, otherwise he will go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several explosions were heard and flames rose in front of everyone.
The imperial guards were hit by the fireball and died before they could even scream.
