Chapter 18 Landslides startle the sunset, sword dance helps the moon rise (Part 2)(1/2)

The mountain collapse shocks the sunset, the sword dances to help the moon rise (middle)

Xu Changan and Lan Yu were about to break through first and then go down the mountain. Xiaobai naturally didn't want to leave the two of them. After sitting at the door for a while, noisy sounds came from his ears. It grinned, but it was not easy to attack.

Today, it is inexplicably a little irritable, especially when it sees those two people.

Meng Yi and Wang Wang.

There is a saying among the people that a spirit cat can see through the heart.

People's hearts are separated from their belly, but in folk sayings, there is such a species that can recognize people's hearts and distinguish between good and evil. This species is a spirit cat.

In the folk, people raise cats either through cat dealers or the old cat from the neighbor's house gave birth to kittens and adopted them. Ordinary families can only have their own cat through these two methods. It is extremely difficult to domesticate the wild cat. Some people may look up at the sky and see the sword fairy floating by in their lives, but they cannot see a wild cat, let alone domesticate it.

Of course, the spirit cat is different.

Generally speaking, people choose cats, and for spirit cats, cats choose people.

They will choose a kind-hearted person to make a living together, and when they meet evil people, they will also warn them. This kind of spirit cat is more loyal than dogs. Even if you don’t want them and throw them far away, they will quietly watch you somewhere. When you are in danger, small figures will always stand in front of you.

A well-dressed person is not necessarily a good person, but a person who comes to the door with a spirit cat is definitely not a bad person.

Xiaobai didn't know if he was a spirit cat, but he was sure that Xu Changan was a little kind and wouldn't do anything that hurt the world. He was also a somewhat silly kind person.

The sound of crowds came to its ears, some crying with joy, some rubbing against each other while running, and some... noisy sounds.

Xiaobai closed his eyes. It had excellent ear strength and all kinds of sounds gathered over. He was really tired. He ignored the white cat that had just been washed away and fell to the ground, not listening to the noisy sound. Slowly, there was a purring sound on the ground, and he finally felt comfortable!

...

The people were of course happy to hear the news.

Someone cried happily. After all, during these days on the mountain, he was either facing the threat of water thieves or the fate of being starved to death. When he heard that he could go down the mountain, he seemed to be able to enter the Pure Land.

But it was just going down the mountain, which was not difficult for the water thieves who had been in the past who were evil ghosts on Qingfeng Village.

In the Zhongyi Hall, Cui Wei stepped on the tiger-skin chair with one foot and looked at the uncles who took off their masks coldly.

There were four people in total. Originally, Meng Yi and his father were six. They were the six of them who established their foundation together and beat the name of Qingfeng Village in the Evil Guishan, which was extremely loud.

His father was in the top seat, Meng Yi's second son. As for the rest of the positions, he asked him to call him uncles according to his age, from the third uncle to the sixth uncle. When Meng Yi took the position, these four uncles also said nothing to him when they saw him raising pigs in the pig shed. When they heard that Cui Wei was going down the mountain with his brothers, these uncles began to feel uneasy.

Uncle San's hair was also a little white and was a little hunched. But from his current body shape, it can be seen that he was a strong man when he was young. He must be a good man in attacking mountains and villages. Uncle Fourth had a goatee beard, his beard was already gray, his eyes were squinting at any time, and the corners of his mouth that was slightly raised at any time, like a kind little old man. But Cui Wei knew that this man was a think tank on the mountain, and many ideas were made by this Uncle Fourth. The bloody slaughtering methods and decisions were also made by this Uncle Fourth. This little old man looked kind, Cui Wei thought that he was the most cruel person in the entire village. And Uncle Five was a strong man. When he attacked the mountains and villages, Uncle Five and Uncle Six were just young men with outstanding performance, so he was attracted by his father and Meng Yi and raised them up.

How strong is the fifth uncle? To be precise, he is fat and strong, with fat on his face piled up together, his little eyes angrily and widened, just like the angry arhat on the mural. He is the most brave warrior in the whole village after his old age and weak body. Naturally, he would not use the swords snatched from the village. Those weapons were too light, so he used a pair of big axes to dance with great power.

At first glance, Uncle Six looked like a genuine farmer. If he was thrown into the people this time, no one would recognize him. But he was the most easy-going person, and he would occasionally warm Cui Wei with his eyes. He would occasionally pretend to be a mysterious person to improve his living conditions for Cui Wei.

The four uncles gathered under this Zhongyi Hall, naturally for the secret passage under this big tiger-skinned chair.

Everyone agreed to let the people go. After all, there is too little food on this mountain and there is a lot of waste people. Will their brothers still survive?

When there is no passage, everyone thinks to rely on the immortal master to break through and lead them down the mountain. Naturally, there is no objection to the disbandment of the evil ghost mountain Qingfeng Village. After all, it is difficult to survive, so why do you have to do this village?

But now it is different. There is a way down the mountain. Although it has not been confirmed, with this road, their brothers in the village can survive again. With this passage, they can rebuild the hanging basket. When the passage is blocked, the Evil Ghost Mountain will be a natural danger. The Qingfeng Village will continue to dominate the rivers in Jingmen Prefecture.

Uncle Fourth narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Wei who was walking on the tiger-skin chair and said, "Little Cui Wei, this copycat was captured by your father and our brothers. It would be fine if you don't inherit and develop well, why do you have to force others to disband?"

"You can't argue even if you follow your father's business, your son can inherit his father's business. Your fourth uncle doesn't deceive you. You just need to take these people who are eating rice down the mountain. I understand that the name of Water Pirate is not good, but you only have the power to decide yourself, so how can you decide others?"

Cui Wei glanced at Uncle San, but Uncle San did not respond to him; he looked at Uncle Wu, who was fatter than a pig. He was confused and glared at the private school with a goatee, and shook his head at Cui Wei with his fat head and ears.

Cui Wei sighed, and his fourth and fifth uncles were always in a state of irritation, and he was venting his anger from one nostril. It was not surprising that he had such a behavior. Then Cui Wei looked at his sixth uncle, the man like a farmer.

Uncle Six nodded at him, Cui Wei felt confident, but he didn't know where Uncle Third was standing?

Cui Wei suddenly caught a glimpse of the fourth uncle patting his third uncle on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, you see that the little village leader has disagrees with us. What should I do if I do this? This is Brother Cui's lifelong hard work. How should I make a decision if his only bloodline destroys his lifelong hard work?"

Cui Wei exclaimed in his heart that something was wrong.

"Then it, according to the old rules, we vote. It is divided into two factions. One is who wants to spend a peaceful life at the foot of the mountain, and the other is who continues to live a leisurely life on the mountain. In the past, when Brother Cui, we were six of us voted, and the minority obeyed the majority. If the votes were the same, the brothers in the village would vote with us. But now it is different. Meng Yi is not qualified. The little village leader inherited Boss Cui's voting rights, and the five of us could make a decision!"

The fourth uncle who wanted to continue to stay on the mountain heard what the third uncle said, obviously he was inclined to himself. The little village leader wanted to take them out, but he also wanted to keep everyone.

After all, the more people know this secret passage, the less safe this evil ghost mountain will be.

As long as they find an opportunity to send the immortal master down, find an opportunity to keep the people, and then kill them after the immortal master leaves, so that they can continue to occupy the mountains and become kings.

If a group of people are sent down, everyone knows the methods and is difficult to plot. If the person who goes down goes to the prefecture of Jingmen Prefecture and makes up for the mistakes, it will not only whitewash it, but also get a lot of benefits.

Although the word "loyalty and righteousness" hung above everyone's heads, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. In the face of interests, loyalty and righteousness seems to be a joke.

"Okay, why don't we vote."

Cui Wei sighed and could only nod.

The fourth uncle took the lead and said, "I think we can slowly wait until the immortal master comes out of the way and let them leave first. When they leave, let the people..." He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but his eyes suddenly became fierce. He used his hand as a knife and gestured to his neck.

"In this way, we can continue to be happy and happy, find the opportunity to repair the hanging basket, and block the secret passage at that time, so we old guys can continue to live our lives."

"And have you ever thought about a question?"

"You and I have been water thieves for more than ten years. Even if the prefecture does not pursue the investigation after going down the mountain, what else can we do besides robbing money? To put it bluntly, many brothers have asked him to go down the mountain to plant corn but can't even grow it. It's a good thing to rob the family. The little village leader, why do you let them go down like this? Will they starve to death?"

Then he glanced around the Zhongyi Hall. In addition to the five of them, each of them also brought a lot of followers, which were a total of twenty. When they heard these words, they immediately lowered their heads.

Yes, I am used to robbing families and collecting ready-made money. It is really difficult to let them farm!

Uncle Fourth looked at this scene and smiled.

"Lao Wu, where are you?"

The fat man replied in a muffled voice: "Of course I will follow my fourth brother."

Then he looked at Lao Liu.

"And you?"

The strong man smiled faintly: "It's not difficult to farm. If you have anything you don't know in the future, you can ask me. I can teach you and ensure a bumper harvest every year!"

When the fourth uncle heard this, he snorted coldly, then turned to look at his three little old men.

"San brother, the little village leader naturally wants to go down, and Lao Liu also wants to go down. Now, two to two, the most important vote depends on you."

The third brother nodded, looked at Cui Wei, and then looked at the fourth brother beside him.

"Only in troubled times, heroes can make achievements; in prosperous times, they can only be called bandits. When we went up the mountain, we were full of wars and wars everywhere. In order to survive, Qingfeng Village was built."

"I still remember that many people had joined the village because they couldn't survive at the foot of the mountain. But in the past ten years, how much fresh blood has we been coming in? This village has long been gone!"

When the fourth uncle heard this, his face changed.

"It is the same principle to govern bandits and beggars. If you have gained something from the foot of the mountain and don't talk about fairness in everything, you can get something by working, and that's fine."

"If everyone has clothes and food, there will be beggars. If there are clever plans in the temple at the foot of the mountain and no bullies on the land, I would not want to occupy the mountain and become king!"

"You guys are not young anymore. Can you find a wife on the mountain? If you rob dozens of women, I am afraid that the sword immortals of Jingmen Prefecture will fly up immediately. On this mountain, I am also worried. Why haven't we been wiped out? In the past, it was because they had no time to fight; but now it's because they are too lazy to care. We collect some monthly money a month, and it's not too much. Turn a blind eye to pass. If you still want to occupy the mountain and make a fortune for the king, believe it or not, today you rob the treasure, and the soldiers or immortal masters of the Holy Dynasty will attack tomorrow morning?"

Speaking of this, many people were obviously moved again.

Uncle San looked at Uncle Fourth: "Fourth, let's stop when you see it's good!"

Then he looked at Cui Wei.

When the fourth uncle heard this, he closed his eyes and lowered his head. The more than ten people around him immediately drew their swords!

Everyone was shocked. Lao Wu thought about it and took out a pair of giant axes from behind.

"I have decided. Third brother, I can trust you, Lao Liu and Xiao Cui. I have no objection to you going down the mountain, but I can't trust this people. If they go out to complain, we will be gone."

"Look at the swords of these brothers, you will know their thoughts."

Cui Wei glanced at the fourth uncle in disappointment. He knew that the fourth uncle just wanted to be the leader of the village. Over the years, he has made great contributions. In terms of achievements, he is only lower than his father. He is either suppressed by his father or Meng Yi. Now it is even worse. Both of them are gone, and he is suppressed by himself with the immortal master as the backstage.

Cui Wei gritted his teeth, took out a black stick from his arms, and with a "thump", he held the stick in his hands and knelt on the ground.

"Uncle Fourth, you are the lord of a mountain. Please let us have a way out. If the people report the news, I, Cui Wei, will block this secret passage with my own death!"

The fourth brother saw this evil ghost stick and saw Cui Wei kneeling down, and was overjoyed.

However, he still showed a look of entanglement on his face, and finally made up his mind, took the evil ghost stick representing the village leader and helped Cui Wei up and said, "Big nephew, you have said that, I will believe you once. But you must take the fourth uncle with you once in this secret passage."

Cui Wei took a deep breath and nodded.

...

This negotiation took several hours.

In the evening, the sunset seemed to fall on the top of the mountain, and a red sun shone on the entire evil ghost mountain.

At this time, Cui Wei took Uncle Third, Uncle Six, and most of the people to the secret room where gunpowder was hidden. Uncle Fourth, who became the new village leader, naturally followed.

Wang Wang watched the person coming and stood honestly at the door, like a guard.

Meng Yi on the ground has never woken up, and he is too lazy to care whether Meng Yi is dead or alive. He just wants to do one big thing.

When Cui Wei left, he took Li Mu with him. He knew that except for Wang Wang, the others on the mountain would only bully him.

Cui Wei watched the crowd pass by one after another, but the brothers in the village had not arrived for a long time and frowned.

Finally, he heard Li Mu's muffled scream.

"Brother Wang!"

Wang Wang took a breath, probably because of guilt, and his voice was slightly weak.
