Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Niujia Village

After running out of the forest for the night, the three of them lay on the ground panting, Qing Ming couldn't help but complain, "Fellow Taoist, the so-called dead Taoist friends, I wanted to leave you in the forest to fend for yourself just now." Alan could only smile awkwardly, in fact, he was not very afraid, could he not beat him and still not be able to run? He has a shadow recluse in the escape magic, but he did not want to harm these two enthusiastic little Taoist, and he also have to follow them to learn more about the rules of this world. After running all night, the three of them did not have any sleep, simply ate some dry food and then continue to rush to the direction of their Taoist temple. Along the way, Qing Hua did not say anything else and remained silent, Qing Ming was still full of vigor and kept talking non-stop, Alan appeared to be very cozy, nowadays the modern society is all about high-rise Daxia and hustle and bustle, and he enjoys this feeling of calmness even more.

This day they passed through a place called Niujia Village, a few days of camping so that they decided to see if they could rest here for a night, but just arrived at the village they found something wrong, it is now midday, according to reason should be in the work, but the village of the door is closed, unlike someone in the activities of the appearance. Qingming came to the door of a house and knocked on the door, asking if anyone was there.

It wasn't long before the door opened, and the door was opened by a man with a shovel in his hand, who seemed to be worried that Qingming and his party would attack them. He was relieved to see that there were only two small Taoist priests and a man in strange clothes, and then he asked Qingming about the purpose of their coming here. Qingming and he made it clear that they were just on their way back to the Taoist temple and wanted to come here to rest for the night, no harm done. The man opened the door and greeted the people inside his home, and then his wife brought a few bowls of porridge and water to the three of them. The man sighed, "Recently there are mountain bandits here, everyone's life is miserable, so I can only let you all fill your stomachs with these simple porridge and water." The three of them looked at each other in dismay, not that they disliked the simplicity of things, but instead they were a bit embarrassed to eat the few grains that others had.

Qing Ming asked, "Why don't you report it to the officials so that they can solve it?" The man laughed mockingly, "Officials? It's been reported long ago, if the officials were willing to take care of this then we wouldn't have to live such a miserable life." The crowd was silent, Alan thought in his heart, "Since ancient times the miserable lives of civilians have stemmed from the inaction of the officials in which world is the same ah." The man said after chatting with Qing Ming and the others, "If you guys don't mind resting here for the night tonight, but hurry up and leave first thing in the morning, or you'll be in danger as well." Qingming two people want to stay to help, how they say is also a bit of kung fu, but by the man refused, after all, two fists can't beat four hands, the mountain bandits to come with only two of them can't resist, maybe will also lose their lives because of this. The two men did know that they were not strong enough, so they promised to report to the Taoist priest and ask him to help them deal with it.

Alan then found the men and asked them where the bandits' stronghold was, so that the Taoist priest could come and destroy the bandits, but who knows what Alan was planning in his heart.

At night, while the men were already asleep, Alan cast Shadow Escape and quietly left the house. "Dark and windy night, a group of mountain bandits that is not a white gift of experience value? Jiejiejie, I'll take it then." Alan ran in the direction that the man said, for him this group of mountain thieves can let him test his strength, but also can return the man's hospitality, he is still very happy to do it, of course, the most important thing is that it can also improve his cultivation.

Soon he found the stronghold and hid in the middle of the woods, outside the stronghold there were also some small minions who patrolled and touched the fish. "You said that this neighborhood is full of ordinary people who can't afford to resist, why does the boss still let us patrol every day?" One of them asked. "Brothers, dogs bite when they're anxious, who knows if they'll suddenly be driven to fight one day?" Another older one said. "When you say it like that there seems to be some truth to it, I didn't realize that your boss was so worried about the villagers resisting." Don't know where to come out of Alan agreed and said.

"That's right, we're bandits, but it's a head-scratching business, so we'd better be careful. Hey, who are you?" The older mountain bandit was still replying, but suddenly realized that this person was not the young man he was patrolling with. "Me ah, I'm a dog, here to bite." Said without giving the two a chance to react, a bite was to be on the older man's neck, the other side used blood to condense into a blood spike on his fingertips, instantly stabbing into the younger man's head. The elder still tried to struggle twice, but soon his body became paralyzed, while the younger one was killed in one move, and died without even a chance to struggle. Alan only extracted a very weak cultivation from them, even the young wolves of that night were higher than the sum of the two of them. "You're still a mountain bandit with this much cultivation? Having nine lives isn't enough for you to die'"

Alan then quietly slipped inside the stronghold after putting down the minions patrolling the stronghold one by one as he had done. With the help of Shadow Evasion, Alan first figured out the personnel arrangement, and then killed the mountain thieves who were already asleep first, although none of their cultivation was high, but the quantity was large, this was the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change!

Just as Alan was laying his mouth on one of them, an accident happened, that person seemed to realize that there was one more person beside him, and loudly shouted, "Who is it!" Alan cursed, "Fuck, you're the one with a mouth, you're the one who can shout!" A finger pierced his throat, but it was too late, the man's drink had already attracted people over, listening to the sound of footsteps there should be less than ten more people.

With a bang, the door of the room was slammed open, the rest of the crowd looked around the room with weapons in their hands, but no one else was found, only a cold corpse fell on the ground. "There is an enemy attack!" One of them hurriedly put all of them on alert. In the dimly lit room, several sounds of swooshing rang out, Alan hid in the darkness and shot bloody arrows in the direction of the crowd, they did not know how Alan suddenly appeared, in this small space there were a few people who could not dodge in time, and were hit by bloody arrows and fell in a pool of blood. Some of the rest of them were already injured, Alan suddenly appeared behind one of them with another Shadow Escape, and took a bite on that person's neck.

"Where did the small people come from, how dare they sneak attack our cottage! Everyone hurry out into the open!" The remaining few mountain thieves ran to the center of the cottage and looked at the room vigilantly, "Walled City Lord, this person is very weird, there was no one else at all when they just entered the house!"
