Chapter 9 Covetousness
The Black Wind Mountain,
with its tall and steep mountains stretching endlessly, blocks the sunlight, and the valleys are shrouded in shadows all year round.
There are many steep rocks and when the mountain wind blows, it always produces a humming sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Deep in the dense forests of the mountains that seem to have no end, there is a mountain village.
In front of the gate of the mountain village, there is a plaque with three big characters "Heifeng Village" written on it, hanging high on the porch. Although the characters do not look very beautiful, there is a fierce and murderous aura coming towards you!
On both sides of the mountain stronghold gate, two burly Black Wind Bandits were standing on the watchtowers on both sides, on guard.
Further away, a group of knife-wielding Black Wind Bandits were patrolling the surroundings.
This is an old mountain village that has been established for more than ten years. Being able to gain a foothold here means that it already has a complete and mature system.
Inside the village, in the square wooden hall in the middle, dark bricks and stones are laid on the floor in a staggered manner, extending to the end of the hall. Steps are stacked one after another, forming a staircase with four or five floors.
On the steps, there was a chair covered with a tiger-skin coat.
On the wooden wall behind the chair, there hangs a dried tiger head.
Even though he has been dead for who knows how many years, he still exudes a creepy murderous aura! At this moment,
A burly black figure was sitting on a tiger-skin chair.
The man was a sturdy man with a leopard head and round eyes. He had a big bald head. He kept turning two round iron beads in his hands. He looked at the skinny figure kneeling and shivering below with a deep gaze, which gave people a terrible oppression as if facing a ferocious beast! This man was the head of the Black Wind Village, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits nicknamed Golden Eyed Biao! "So, my third brother, who was as close as a brother to me, died in your Wangjia Village?"
A gloomy and powerful voice rang out in the spacious hall of the mountain village, causing waves of echoes.
This made Wang Erlaizi, who was kneeling on the cold floor, sweat all over. His back was almost soaked with cold sweat, and an indescribable fear rose in his heart!
"Great King, this is exactly what happened. I am not hiding anything. The three great kings and other heroes were killed by that foreign boy named Yang Qingyun. This has nothing to do with our Wangjia Village. You must understand this clearly!"
Wang Erlaizi knelt on the ground, trembling under the pressure of the terrible aura above him.
He was afraid that the burly figure on the first seat would turn into a tiger and swallow him up in one gulp! At this moment, he recalled that he had rashly run up to Black Wind Mountain to inform on the matter, and a trace of regret arose in his heart.
However, this trace of regret quickly disappeared.
The Black Wind Bandits have been rampant in Huangshi Town for more than ten years. They have gained great power in the villages, paying tributes of silver every year and committing tyranny year after year. Even the local rich men in the villages have to pay money to save their lives.
Wang Erlaizi had already developed a deep and heartfelt fear of the Black Wind Bandits!
This deep fear made him dare not do anything that would be detrimental to the Black Wind Bandits.
After the third in command of the Black Wind Village and all his men were killed in Wangjia Village, he was almost scared to death.
For the next few days, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I am worried that one day the kings on the Black Wind Mountain will learn the truth and lead their troops down the mountain to massacre and exterminate everyone in Wangjia Village!
Unable to bear the torture any longer, Wang Erlaizi finally decided to go up the mountain and tell the secret!
Of course, among these,
Wang Erlaizi also has some selfish thoughts in his heart.
I went up the mountain and reported such an important matter. The kings on the mountain will surely reward me!
You will be able to live a good life in the future.
As for whether doing so would bring disaster to the village, Wang Erlaizi didn't think too much about it.
Or perhaps he ignored this possibility out of selfish motives.
"Of course I don't blame you, you did it with great care!"
Golden Eyed Biao slowly stood up. Even though he couldn't see the face hidden in the shadows, he could still feel the suppressed anger! "This village chief is not the kind of person who would not reward meritorious service. You did a great job on this matter!"
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Ha, I dare not ask for anything, please do as you please, my king!"
When Wang Erlaizi, who was lowering his head below, heard these words, he became excited. The corners of his mouth formed a visible arc, and he said with a smile.
It was as if he already saw wealth and glory waving at him.
"Very good. As a reward, I promise to reunite your whole family together soon!"
"Okay, thank you, my king. Thank you, my king."
Wang Erlaizi nodded and bowed, thanking him repeatedly, but soon he came to his senses and felt a little confused.
The whole family is neat and tidy?
What does this reward mean?
He looked up blankly.
Just then, he saw a huge black shadow with a sharp gust of wind coming towards his head, and the shadow enveloped him! Before he could see clearly what it was, with a bang, Wang Erlaizi's head exploded like a watermelon, and red and white were scattered all over the ground! "My good brother Lao San is dead, why are you still alive?"
"It is your honor to be buried with the third brother!"
"Don't worry, I, the village chief, will send all of your Wangjia Village away without leaving a single one behind!"
"Let all your families be together and in order!"
The burly and strong body of Jinyan Biao stood in front of the headless corpse of Wang Erlaizi, and the shadow he cast completely submerged him. The cold and gloomy voice without any emotion resounded in the hall of the mountain stronghold.
The fist as big as a millstone was clenched tightly at this moment, as if it was cast in steel, full of shocking power. The heavy fist was stained with blood, which dripped onto the ground drop by drop.
It was this one punch that blew Wang Er Laizi's head off on the spot! "Alas, we were about to withdraw, but we never thought that Lao San would fail at this moment."
"Brother, what should we do next? Do you want me to lead people to destroy Wangjia Village and bring back that kid named Yang Qingyun to chop him into pieces?"
At this time,
A skinny figure with a sinister look walked out from the shadow of the mountain stronghold's hall.
This person is none other than the second in command of the Black Wind Village, Xin Yuan, also known as the Black Viper.
He had been standing by when Wang Erlaizi recounted in detail what had happened that day.
He looked at the limp headless body of Wang Erlaizi on the ground without much concern, and began to analyze: "But if the idiot's explanation is correct, then I think the third brother thought that the boy named Yang Qingyuan was just an ordinary person, so he was careless and capsized in the gutter!"
"However, how can a mortal kill the third brother who has already reached the middle stage of the entry? And also kill all the minions who came with him?"
"I'm afraid there's something strange about this!"
The second in command, Black Viper, had a thoughtful look on his face as he analyzed the situation.
"Humph! What's so strange about that? The third brother has a narrow vision. Although the warriors who entered the country can dominate in such a rural area, they are still not up to the standard after all."
"Although the warriors who enter the country can refine their qi and blood and possess strength far beyond that of ordinary people, they are still just mortals. A child with a knife can stab them to death!"
Compared to the doubts of the second in command, Golden Eyed Biao was not very confused, but spoke with disdain.
"That kid probably got some old master's legacy from somewhere deep in the mountains and forests by chance, and mastered advanced swordsmanship and martial arts, so the third brother fell into his hands!"
"However, since I'm not a warrior, I can only do this in the end!"
Having said this, greed flashed in the eyes of the Golden Eyed Biao.
The death of the third brother, who they claimed to be as close as a brother, also diluted the impact a lot.
To be able to kill an incoming warrior above his level, that must be an extremely advanced swordsmanship and martial arts!
If you can take it,
Wouldn't it be even more powerful if used in your own hands? !
The black venomous snake at the side had a gleam in its eyes, and had already guessed what the golden-eyed leopard meant.
"In that case, I will go down the mountain right now and bring people to tie that kid back and force him to tell me his chance and methods!"
"Go ahead, take a hundred men with you, plus ten Black Wind Cavalrymen!"
"Xiao Yu is about to be promoted to an inner disciple of Baiyu Sect. If we can force him to reveal this method and send it to him, he will have more confidence in competing for the Baiyu Sect's direct disciple in the future! The benefits we can get will also be greater!"
"But be careful. I have already lost a brother who was as close to me as a brother. Don't let me be there again!"
Golden Eyed Biao waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, bro. Mortals are just mortals after all. No matter how skilled they are, they can't defeat an entire army alone!"
"I will not fail in this mission!"
"Brother, just wait for my good news in the village!"
Black Viper smiled, with a look of confidence that everything was under control!
