Chapter 84 You shouldn't use a knife in your own home
The locksmith froze for a long time before he smiled dryly and said, "Brother, you are such a joker."
"You are wrong." The old Taoist priest interrupted the lock-breaking man again, "I never joke with people I don't know."
The old Taoist priest's words made the locksmith even more angry. He stopped kneeling and climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet, pointing at the old Taoist priest and starting to curse.
"You have the nerve to call yourself a Taoist priest. I think you are just an evil demon!"
The old Taoist nodded, "You are right."
“.”
The locksmith was stunned again.
The old Taoist priest always plays by his own rules, which makes it hard for the locksmith to scold him.
The old Taoist priest became impatient. "Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you? I'm busy now. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"I--"
The lock picker had just said this one word when he was interrupted again.
This time it was one of the men lying on the ground who spoke.
He turned over and sat up, looking at the old Taoist priest with hope in his eyes, "Master, I didn't open the door, nor did I lead the way here. I only followed because of the threat. Can you let me go?"
Without waiting for the old Taoist to answer, he immediately asked, "Master, you want this boy's hands, right? I'll cut off his hands and give them to you now. Will you let me go?"
Perhaps he really wanted to leave immediately. Without waiting for the old Taoist priest to answer him, he stood up angrily, picked up the kitchen knife from the ground, and rushed towards the locksmith.
Seeing this, the other three also stood up and ran towards the locksmith, still shouting.
"Master, we can also chop off his hands. I hope you can let us go then!"
"Master, just a hand? I can also help chop off his head."
But in a blink of an eye, the five people started fighting with each other.
But this scene did not last long.
Although the lock picker tried his best to resist, it was obviously of no use. He was thin and was besieged by four people at the same time, so he had basically no room for resistance.
As the lock picker screamed, his hand was chopped off.
The blood spurted onto the other four people in an instant, but because the weather was too cold, the blood on the wounds quickly froze and solidified.
The lock picker's eyes widened, the veins around his eyes bulged, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot.
Because it was so painful, he could no longer shout out, and his body was still twitching.
The pair of hands that fell to the ground were frozen stiff in just a short while.
The four people were panting, and all looked at the old Taoist priest hopefully.
"Master, can we go now?"
The old Taoist priest first looked at the dying wretched man, then looked at the pair of frozen hands, and finally looked at the four people.
In the expectant eyes of the four people, the old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said in a very calm tone, "No."
The four of them smiled as if they had survived a disaster and expressed their gratitude one after another.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
"The Taoist priest is such a good man!"
"Master, we are leaving now. We will never appear in front of you again."
"Thank you, Taoist priest, for giving us this opportunity. We will definitely turn over a new leaf and start a new life in the future."
The four of them spoke one after another, completely immersed in the joy they had imagined.
The old Taoist priest looked at them calmly and repeated what he had just said, "I said, you can't leave."
As these words came out, the smiles on the four people's faces disappeared.
"Why? You just said that you want that boy's hands. If we help you chop them off, you should let us go!"
The old Taoist sneered, "I only asked for his hands, but I didn't ask you to chop them off, and I didn't promise to let you go."
The four of them were very angry, but also looked thoughtful, as if they were recalling what had happened before.
It was only a few minutes in total, and after the four of them recalled the incident, their faces turned pale instantly.
The old Taoist priest really didn't promise them anything from beginning to end.
They were fighting with each other and started fighting without waiting for the old Taoist priest to answer.
The four of them swayed, still somewhat unwilling.
"So what are you going to do with us?"
The old Taoist put his hands into his sleeves and raised his arms. "Of course they are the same as the two underground."
They came to his house to steal things and saw the supplies in his house. If we really let them go, what would be the difference between that and letting a tiger go back into the mountains?
Being soft-hearted is the most undesirable thing in the end times.
Especially, you must not be soft-hearted towards those who have intentions towards you.
After the old Taoist priest came in, Nan Ci did not make any move or say a word. He just watched the old Taoist priest deal with these people quietly.
Seeing how the old Taoist handled the situation and listening to what he had just said, Nan Ci felt very satisfied.
Although he knew before that the old Taoist priest was not a holy father, Nan Ci still felt relieved.
After all, this is her partner.
How can her partner have the heart of the Virgin Mary?
Of course, the four men were unwilling to die like this. After realizing that they could not use force, they looked at each other, suddenly stood up at the same time, and pounced on the old Taoist priest.
They had not yet thrown away the weapons in their hands, but now they were directly attacking the old Taoist priest.
In their opinion, the old Taoist priest was thin and didn't seem to have much fighting power, so he must be easier to deal with than Nan Ci.
Even if I can't kill the old Taoist priest directly, as long as I hold him hostage, I can escape from here safely.
Although these people didn't say a word, Nan Ci could guess what they were planning just by looking at their actions.
But Nan Ci still stood there motionless.
She still believed in the old Taoist priest's abilities.
The old Taoist priest did not disappoint Nan Ci. When he pulled his hands out of his sleeves, a thin and sharp blade appeared in both of his hands.
The blade was held in the palm of the old Taoist's hand, but the blade was very long, longer than the fingers and the entire palm. As the old Taoist moved, the sharp blade kept hitting the heads and necks of the four people.
The four people never expected the old Taoist priest to be so powerful, and they didn't even bother to attack, they just kept dodging.
But the four of them were very panicked and only focused on dodging on their own without any coordination between them.
As a result, no one dodged, but instead blocked each other.
The four of them cursed at each other and almost fought each other, but were stopped in time by the old Taoist priest.
The sharp blade in the old Taoist priest's hand passed across the necks of the four people. They fell to the ground with their eyes wide open in disbelief, completely silent.
The old Taoist priest squatted down, rubbed the blade on them, and sighed repeatedly.
"No, no, no, no."
Listening to his incoherent words, Nan Ci felt strange, "What's wrong?"
The old Taoist priest stood up with the cleaned blade in his hand and said, "You shouldn't use a knife in your own home. Look, the floor is covered in blood. It will be very troublesome to clean it up later."
