History's first sorcerer

Chapter 108

Zhou Changyong had thought that these monks might have some stress reactions, but he didn't think that these people would suddenly become so insane?

Obviously, when they get along normally, although these monks are a bit arrogant, they are not lacking in approachability.Only now, when they brought Zhou Changyong to discuss "starting the soul search", Zhou Changyong realized that the word "human heart" is the biggest devil.

A "treasure" that has never been seen and does not know what it is, according to Zhou Changyong's thinking, should be like a lottery.Those who didn't win the lottery would sigh at most, lamenting that they didn't have this life, and gave up.Who would have thought that someone would decide to kill everyone who bought a lottery ticket because they didn't know who the winner was?

This is incomprehensible to Zhou Changyong today.

Because no matter how smart they are, they are just "mortals" now.

How can a mortal's morality measure a monk?

"What do you mean?" Shi Wujiu was a little puzzled, "Why do you say they suddenly went crazy?"

"Because they couldn't find the treasure and regained their mana, now they decided to search the souls of the villagers one by one. Ordinary people are searched for souls. If they are lucky, they will be stupid all their lives, and it is difficult to live independently. More will die suddenly on the spot. death." Zhou Changyong lamented, his face unavoidably showing a bit of anger.

He has always felt that things like treasures are my luck and my life.The problem is, many people don't think so.All they think is, "This should be my opportunity, but it was snatched away by others. Why should I snatch it back and do everything worth it?"

At this time, even if the tiles are buried back, the problem may not be solved.

Because as long as people keep finding tiles, they'll keep doing it.Moreover, once they lose patience in the process of searching, they will use thousands of methods to search the villagers.

Weakness, in such a world, is a reason to be manipulated and bullied wantonly.

How ridiculous!

"We escaped, what about the rest of the village?" Shi Wujiu grabbed Zhou Changyong's hand, "Can they escape?"

No matter how Shi Wujiu usually behaves, perhaps Shi Wujiu is really the kindest person among the village chiefs.

He spoke harsh words, but his heart was a soft and excessive guy.

If such a person is not strong enough to protect him with force, it may be difficult for him to survive in this world.

"I can find out, there's no reason why they can't." Zhou Changyong smiled wryly, "But the question now is, can we escape?"

"It's not too late, let's leave quickly." Zhou Changyong urged again, "Time is running out, I have already left a note, they should have seen it."

"Okay." Shi Wujiu also agreed, "Let's go now."

It is not difficult to leave the village.

But if you are too anxious, these monks will find out that something is wrong.

At present, they have only decided to attack the villagers, but how to distribute them, who will search for the souls, etc., are actually still under discussion.Although their mana has been restored now, and the restrictions have been reduced a lot, but rashly interfering with the fate of mortals will more or less be stained with blood debt karma.Therefore, many sects must balance the gains and losses.In case the soul search really yields useful results, how to divide the benefits is a problem.

Compared with these monks, the people in the village are too weak.Their only advantage is that they are not many in number, and all of them are smarter than these monks.They are very knowledgeable about how to save their lives.

Weak people have an almost terrifying intuition about crises, especially this kind of life-and-death crisis.

It was light in the morning, just when everyone was sleeping soundly. The villagers packed up the ox cart or donkey cart in a decent way, loaded a lot of dried vegetables, and said in a decent way that they were going to the market.

Although the monks thought it was strange, there were only seven or eight people who went out to the market, and none of them were blushing or panicking. They haven't discussed how to distribute these villagers yet. There is no suitable excuse.

But it doesn't seem good to just let them go.

The scene was inevitably a little stalemate.

"What's the matter with you? If we do this, we won't be able to catch up with the morning market." The villagers were a little angry.

"The big deal is that we will buy all the things you want to sell. Why do you go to some morning market?" The monks are naturally unwilling to let go, but some worldly money, is it possible that they can't afford it?

"You can give us money, but we still need some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, can you give us too?" The villagers are not so easy to spend, "We go early and return early, and it only takes about two hours. Besides Well, we also have villagers working outside, we ask them to help us connect, so that we can sell the goods in our hands at a better price."

"What? You have other villagers outside?" The monks were a little shocked, why didn't they know about this?

"Hey, this is so fresh. Why don't you tell us that we still have villagers cultivating immortals outside?"

"This fellow Taoist, they are only a few people. In my opinion, let them go, otherwise the villagers in the village will resist, and the effect of the soul search will be greatly reduced."

"Yeah, it's really not possible. I will escort them and say that I want to go to the market with them, and I promise to let them come back one by one."

That sounds like a good idea.

Several monks nodded after hearing this, and their attitudes softened a lot.

There are three monks who are mainly required to be escorted. It seems that their cultivation bases are not too bad, but it's just that they are overqualified for keeping such a few villagers.

Of course, the villagers also had a good impression of the monks who took the initiative to escort them to the market. They said a lot of thanks, and they seemed not at all wary.

This also made these monks feel relieved a lot.

The few monks who offered to escort them stopped when the villagers walked all the way out of the land.

"It should be safe here."

"Xiao Huan, fortunately you sent the message quickly, otherwise we might not be able to make it back."

"I didn't expect them to be so vicious!"

"Let's release Uncle and the others first."

……

These monks were the villagers who had gone to cultivate immortals before, and they had been detained in the sect and could not return. Only Xiao Huan returned to the village to perform the task.As for the few villagers who were detained, although their aptitudes were outstanding, they did not live well in the sect of cultivating immortals.

This time they returned to the village, and the timing was just right.

Because these sects were going to use the soul-searching technique on the villagers, and they were afraid that the villagers would resist too much and lose the meaning of soul-searching, so they decided to send the disciples of the immortal cultivators in the village back to appease them.At that time, even with these disciples, none of them will be left, so as not to leave future troubles.

But how do these sects know that their secret thoughts have already been seen clearly?They underestimated these mortals too much, and underestimated their determination to survive, and instead they were calculated.

Several monks worked together to cast a spell, and the goods on the car turned into living people in a blink of an eye.What is left in the village now is just an illusion formed by the transformation of the puppet talisman.

"Why is there one less?"

"Where's Shi Wujiu?"

"Shi Wujiu should have escaped, and he is probably the one who sent us the letter." Aunt Taishan frowned slightly, and she figured out all the things she couldn't figure out before, "He and that Zhou Changyong probably knew each other a long time ago. If they didn't Guessing wrong, it should be that the two of them got the treasure, which is why such a big change in the village was caused."

"What? They found the treasure? Do you know where the treasure is?" These villagers who went to cultivate immortals, let alone the regret in their hearts.The treasure was hidden in their village, but they were detained by the sect and could not return.If they could come back earlier, how could they hand over the treasure to others?

Xiao Huan came back, but in the end, she didn't touch the treasure at all, and she still needs a few former companions to rescue her, so how can I tell?

Harvest the east corner and lose the mulberry elm.

Such a thing as chance is truly indescribable.

"If we knew, we would have stopped them long ago."

"It's not clear what's going on at the moment. For our current plan, we still have to escape first. In my opinion, the goal of our gathering together is too big. We should disperse and flee as soon as possible, and we can talk about other things later when we have a chance."

"That's right, exactly."

The best way, of course, is to disperse all of them.

But the villagers have lived together for so long, and they also have some friendship with each other, so naturally they will not all disperse.More, or in twos and threes, go together.

For example, Xiao Huan took the sea and walked eastward with Aunt Taishan.

Old man Xu and old man Ye decided to go north.

Xi Zhu took Yushuang to the south.

……

No one can tell how much time they can deceive those monks?Therefore, it is necessary to escape as far as possible before they find out.

It's already in full swing.

Those villagers who said they would go and go back, have not seen their shadows until now.And at this point, those villagers who didn't go to the market didn't get up to work, which is really strange.

As for those few monks, there was no message back.

"Wait, who of you know the monks who said they would escort those villagers?"

"Hey, I don't know."

"Wait, I see you standing with him, so you don't know each other?"

"He's just talking to Guo Lai, I'm just standing with him by the way."

The monks asked around and found that no one knew those monks.

"Hurry up, go to the village to see if the villagers are still there?" A quick-response monk hurriedly urged.

The monks' faces were startled, and a bad premonition was born in their hearts.

They rushed to the houses of these villagers and found that these villagers were still lying on their beds. When they were feeling a little relieved, they saw a monk go up and poke these villagers.

The villagers immediately turned into a piece of talisman paper and fell lightly.

"It's a puppet charm!"

"These villagers have already run away."

"Damn it, go back and report to the head, how did you leak the news?"

"They shouldn't have run far, let's chase after them!"

……

For the villagers to run without a trace under the eyes of so many monks, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face for the monks.

When the news came back, it would naturally cause an uproar.

When the various sects heard the news, they were furious.

waste!

With so many monks, why can't they defend dozens of mortals?Logically speaking, even if there is only one monk, it is enough to kill those mortals.As a result, because too many monks went there, they were taken advantage of by these mortals.

"That treasure must be in the hands of those villagers!"

Many sect leaders have come to such a conclusion.

"If not, how could they run away with a guilty conscience?"

Moreover, before they even started to do anything, these villagers ran away without a trace. Some of them must have cooperated internally and externally to give them a chance to escape.

"Send an order to hunt down those villagers. If they dare to resist, search their souls on the spot!"

"Yes."

Almost all of these cultivation sects have issued similar orders.Apart from the treasure being robbed, what they felt was a deep sense of shame.

As monks, how could so many of them be manipulated by some small mortals?This is simply a shame.Not to mention other comrades, even they themselves can't bear it.

If they can't avenge their shame, how will they gain a foothold in the cultivation world in the future?

Therefore, the counterattacks of these monks can be described as fast and fierce.

Those villagers who have never practiced are okay, but those who have already cultivated in the sect have their primordial aura captured by the sect, and it is easy to find them.

The fight came unexpectedly.

"Brothers and sisters, we have some fellowship anyway, do you really want to kill them all?" Seeing that he was surrounded by fellowmen, Chu Han was still desperate, but still had a glimmer of hope, "I am willing to go back to the sect with you, and Willing to cooperate with you to find other people, can you let me live?"

At this time, who wants to die?

In the final analysis, he did this to the extent that he was benevolent.Even if he doesn't cooperate, the result will be the same after being searched.That being the case, why not keep a useful body, maybe you can avenge them in the future!

"Junior brother, you will finally fall into our hands one day." These fellow disciples not only did not give him a chance of life, but showed their true faces one by one.

With undisguised malice on their faces, they looked at this villager like an enemy.

"You are just a mortal born in a small village. You were almost 50 years old when you entered the Taoist practice, and you have already passed the best age for cultivating immortals. But there are so many elders in the sect, they all admire your aptitude when they see you, hehe , you were very proud at the time."

In this remote realm of self-cultivation, due to the thinness of aura, the aptitude of monks is also very limited.But the villagers in this village, such as Chu Han, all have top-level qualifications.Even if they have passed the best years, even if they entered the Tao much later than these fellow sects, but in just one or two years, he can catch up with these fellow sects who have practiced for decades, and even his appearance is changed because of the practice. Getting younger and younger, this makes these fellow apprentices meet, how can they not be jealous?

If the Zongmen loves such geniuses more, even if they feel jealous in their hearts, they will only let go of the jealousy slowly.But the problem is that these sect elders and even the head of the sect clearly know that the reason why they accept these villagers as disciples is only to obtain the treasures in the village.

Therefore, even if Chu Han's talent is outstanding, it is only a huge hidden danger to the sect.Therefore, the sect will also allow the disciples of the sect to suppress him.

Over time, this grievance will naturally become more profound.

"...I just want to cultivate immortality." Chu Han revealed bitterness.He didn't want to be that weak person again, for this reason, he didn't hesitate to walk out of the village where he had lived for most of his life, and voluntarily worshiped in the sect of cultivating immortals, just because he didn't want to be mermaid again.

At that time, they were forced to hide in the cave by a small piece of news. Now he thought he had protected himself, but he didn't expect to be cornered by his fellow disciples because of this.

Even if he did it again, he would still choose to cultivate immortality, but he would not choose such a sect again.

"Junior Brother Chu, if you want to blame, blame yourself." The brothers from the same school looked at him and slowly approached, "The master said that all people in your village will be searched for their souls on the spot. If you surrender obediently, brother, we will Take it easy and try to save your life."

"If I've been a fool all my life, you guys will be happy." Chu Han had already seen their true colors clearly, so naturally he would no longer have any illusory hopes. "If I live like that, I might as well fight with you."

……

"Mother, Dahai, you go first, they are chasing me." Xiao Huan gritted her teeth, and decided to run away from them, "Mother, I should have listened to you, and should not have worshiped in these sects of cultivating immortals. "

Aunt Taishan's eyes were already red, "Even if you separate from us, it won't take long."

"It's as long as it can last." Xiao Huan turned her head and looked at Dahai seriously, "Dahai, you are my best brother, and my mother will entrust you."

"Don't worry." Dahai looked at Xiaohuan and Aunt Taishan, and knew that his current situation could no longer allow him to refuse.

Maybe he would run faster without Aunt Taishan, but there is not much difference.On the contrary, Aunt Taishan was very thoughtful, and they were more likely to succeed in running together.

"Mother, Dahai, this is a dagger." Xiao Huan took out two more daggers from her body and handed them to them, "The art of searching for souls is very vicious, and many people who are searched for souls will die of pain in the middle." Death. If... if there is really no way out, suicide would be better than soul searching."

After Xiao Huan finished speaking, her face was determined, "I'm running in the opposite direction, you two hide here first, don't move, you know? After crossing this mountain, it is the place where crowds gather. You are ordinary mortals, they It is still difficult to find you."

"Xiaohuan—"

Aunt Taishan wanted to reach out to pull her son, but before touching Xiao Huan's sleeve, Xiao Huan had disappeared.

"No, I'll go find him." It was impossible for Aunt Taishan to leave her son and leave, "Dahai, just wait here."

In the final analysis, it is just the difference between early death and late death, and Taishan sees it very clearly.Since they became villagers of this village, they were destined to have such an ending.

Even if they have never cultivated immortals, or if they all go to cultivate immortals, the ending will not change in any way.

In this village, there is a treasure that makes these monks crazy, but they have no strength to protect it, so they will always be the weak side, and will always be the one to be bullied.

Aunt Taishan ignored Dahai's dissuasion, and went directly to the place where Xiaohuan disappeared.

Dahai cursed twice angrily, but ran in the opposite direction.

Xi Zhu and Yushuang disguised themselves a little, pretending to be two young woodcutters, and walked down the mountain road with a bundle of firewood on their backs.

It was Yushuang's idea to pretend to be a woodcutter, and it was Xi Zhu's idea to leave by the mountain road.

The relationship between the two of them as husband and wife is well known to those monks, if they still dress like that, they will be discovered easily.

"Yushuang, you have too much firewood on you, let me carry some for you." Seeing that Yushuang was already sweating from exhaustion, Xi Zhu was very distressed.

After Yushuang married him, she didn't even cook at home, so how could she do such hard physical work?

"I'm a woodcutter now, how can I not carry firewood?" Yushuang directly refused Xi Zhu's help, "Taking mountain roads is harder than walking on small roads. Those monks can fly with swords. We only need a little Something is wrong, they might be able to see it from the sky."

In such a scene, they can't make a single mistake, otherwise there is only a dead end waiting for them.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Xi Zhu couldn't help asking, "Can we just be chased around by these monks like a dog?"

They didn't feel the same sense of despair as ordinary mortals. On the contrary, they were filled with anger.

Anger at those monks!

In contrast, the fact that the treasure might be taken away by Zhou Changyong didn't move them much.Because Zhou Changyong and Shi Wujiu were able to find the treasure, it was their skill.But what about these monks?Since they don't have this ability, how can they bear it if they want to vent their anger on them?

They're just some poor wretches who have no hope of becoming immortals.

"There is no way at the moment." Yushuang frowned tightly, "Unless Zhou Changyong and Shi Wujiu get enough treasures to kill these monks."

But, if that treasure really has such abilities, how could Zhou Changyong and Shi Wujiu escape?

At this moment Zhou Changyong is leading Shi Wujiu to dig out the tile from the ground.

"It's this one?" Shi Wujiu is already a little dusty because of the long journey, and some of the flesh on his face has fallen off, after all, they haven't been able to eat well these days, how can they not be thin?

He thought that what Zhou Changyong dug up would be some kind of powerful treasure, but it just looked like an ordinary tile.Zhou Changyong must have made a mistake, right?

"It's this one. I tried a lot but couldn't destroy it." Zhou Changyong took the tile in his hand, thought for a while, and decided to pass it to Shi Wujiu, "Wujiu, you hold it, Put it away carefully. If you wait until those monks really catch up, you might save your life by holding it."

"No, I can't take it." Shi Wujiu withdrew his hand subconsciously, "This is what you found, it's yours."

Now that he got this tile, it was equivalent to having a talisman. How could he want it?

"Anyway, I'm already a ghost, and I still have mana, so don't worry about me." Zhou Changyong said, not allowing Shi Wujiu to divide, with his right hand, he pulled out Shi Wujiu's hand forcefully, and stuffed the tile into his hand, "You are better than me Weak, take it."

Just at this moment, there was a sound of broken tiles that had not moved at all.
