Chapter 15 Bandit Meets Robber

Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin also woke up, looking into the dark forest, they could clearly hear a group of people coming towards them.There are at least dozens of them, and they should have arrived at the foot of a bandit den.

"I guess they are here to rob..." Zhao Kuangyin was drooling, and finally met the bandit who robbed him.When I was alone, I wore tattered clothes and a poor image. Even bandits looked down on me. I have never encountered robbery before, but today I finally encountered it.

'Dangdangdangdang~'

With the sound of the gong, a large group of bandits surrounded Zong Xin and his party, holding torches and machetes.

"Amitabha, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass here, and leave money to buy roads~"

Zong Xin shouted, and everyone was dumbfounded. Who was robbing whom?Why was my opening words spoken by a monk?Did you meet a colleague?

"The monk left the horse and carriage and let you live."

Zong Xin smiled softly, "Where is the old one?"

"Subordinates are here."

"This is your first shot. Let's see what you can do. If the poor monk doesn't like it, I'll sell you to the Zhao Clan for mining."

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to give it away for nothing, and you don't need to spend money to buy it. The Zhao Clan has many slaves, all of them are Khitan soldiers, and there is no shortage of them."

Zong Xin said: "Did you hear that? You can't even sell it. If you don't behave well, let's see how I deal with you."

Guo Xin wiped his tears and said depressedly: "Master, can you say something about a monk? At least I have worshiped a monk as a teacher, so don't teach me to be a bandit."

"You dare to talk nonsense when you are about to die, let me do it." The bandit leader waved his hand, and everyone immediately rushed to hack and kill.

Zhao Kuangyin was faster than anyone else, and he didn't see how he made a move. He rushed forward and stabbed the spear into the bandit leader's throat, and then pulled out the spear. The blood didn't stain the front, and what fell from the tip of Zhao Kuangyin's spear turned out to be red ice.

The people around him were all dumbfounded and immediately stepped forward with their knives in hand.

Zhao Kuangyin swung his spear fiercely, and the group of people around immediately felt a numbness in the mouth, followed by a cold breath in the throat... The martial arts in the hands of all the people around were cut off, the fracture was completely frozen, and white In the mist, everyone's throats were pierced by spears, and blood gushed out immediately.

"kill~"

Eighteen Khitan warriors have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the fight against dozens of people was just a small scene. They immediately stepped forward with scimitars in hand.Although their martial arts were far less powerful than Zhao Kuangyin, they were still warriors with one against a hundred. They rushed into the crowd and slashed wildly with their swords, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.

Before they could react, dozens of people were killed and only a few were left running quickly into the mountains.

"Catch up~ kill and burn and steal."

The eighteen Khitan warriors enjoyed killing, and they were not in a hurry to catch up, because they were good at tracking their prey, and they didn't have to worry about this group of people escaping if they followed the trail.

Zong Xin led Tian Ya to walk forward slowly, and finally stopped at the gate of a cottage. The scale of this cottage was not small, and there was even a gate, guarded by four archers on the gate tower.

The bandits who went forward ran back to the stronghold, and immediately made people close the gate of the mountain, because they were robbed.

When they came to the gate of the cottage, everyone hid in the dark. Zong Xin came a step late and looked around. This place is condescending, and it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zong Xin showed up with Tian Ya, walked directly to the gate of the cottage and shouted loudly: "Everyone in the cottage, listen to me, and immediately hand over all the gold, silver, jewels, fine wine and beauties, maybe the poor monk can show you mercy and let you go." A way out."

"What a bold monk. How dare you kill my people? Today I want you to shoot arrows as soon as you come back." Standing on the gate of the cottage was a mighty middle-aged man, who seemed to have some ability.

Hearing the order of the village master, the four archers immediately released their arrows.Tian Ya was so frightened that he hid behind Zong Xin, Zong Xin didn't even look up, he just stretched out his hand and lost the four arrows in his hand.

"Amitabha, it's hard to persuade you damned ghosts! If you don't go away, you can't blame the poor monk." Zong Xin waved his hand immediately, and then released cold arrows from the dark place, hitting the four archers on the gatehouse in many places. arrow.

Zong Xin followed Zong Xin and threw Tianya back forcefully, jumped up and pointed his palms at the village master on the gate tower and blasted him.The gate tower of the cottage is several meters high. I didn't expect this monk to dare to jump up, let alone an archer holding it.

It comes suddenly, so you have to fight hard, otherwise you will definitely be hit somewhere and lose the opportunity.

'Boom~' Gently clapping palms together, the owner of the cottage was thrown more than ten meters away and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Ten Khitan warriors charged at once, Zhao Kuangyin ran at the front with Tianya in his hand, and stabbed at the gate of the cottage, a hole was pierced in the gate, and the latch inside was also blown away.

Eighteen Khitan warriors kicked open the gate of the village, rushed in and hacked wildly. There were also some old and weak women inside. They killed all of them except the women.

Six Khitan warriors managed to trap the village owner, while others robbed him wantonly.This group of people is not monks at all, they are Khitan people who are murderous, and they like doing this kind of thing the most.

The owner of the cottage looked at everything around him anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.The skills of the six Khitan warriors were not low, and they were not in a hurry to win. Even so, the village owner suffered several stab wounds during the attack, while the six Khitan warriors were unscathed, as if they were playing with him .

Zong Xin brought Tianya to the village leader, and then pointed forward: "Do you think he is pitiful now?"

Tian Ya nodded, it was indeed pitiful.Not only the village owner is pitiful, but also the people who were killed around him are also pitiful.

"But if the teacher's skill is not as good as his, then it will not be them who are pitiful, but us." Zong said: "This is the first thing the teacher will teach you, to distinguish who is the enemy. As long as you draw your sword All people are enemies, absolutely do not pity your enemies."

"Master, you should teach me Buddhist scriptures..."

Zong Xin nodded and said, "That's fine...People are divided into four aspects, self-identity, human aspect, sentient beings, and longevity. My aspect is myself, human aspect is friends, and sentient beings are all people except friends."

"According to Master's intention... Could it be that the world is the enemy?" Tian Ya was very perceptive, and immediately understood Zong Xin's meaning.Although there are four phases, Zong Xin meant that there are only two kinds of people, except for his own people, they are all enemies.

"If you don't have this intention, then everyone in the world will be your enemy." Zong Xin said with a smile: "To eliminate evil is to do good. Believe that you are the Tao and never waver. Otherwise, you will not kill him, but he will kill you."

"Master, what you said is different from what my father said. My father said that in the world, benevolent people are invincible. Wouldn't it be better if everyone in the world should be humane?" Tianya had an extraordinary understanding and thought of Guo Wei's words.

Zong Xin sighed and said, "Hey, you're right, but it's useless."

"Kill you, you monstrous monk." The village master forcibly exercised his kung fu and hit Zong Xin with the power of twelve successes.

Zong Xin gently waved his cassock between the two of them, and saw a flash of cold light. By the time the leader of the village realized what he was doing, his right hand had already been cut off.

'Ah~~~'

The six Khitan warriors would never let go of this opportunity, they directly slashed and stabbed, and the village master lay down completely.

Zong Xin put his hands together and said: "It is not easy for a monk to kill too much. You can only give him one chance to a wicked person, and you can give him two chances to a good person. Remember that no one can give him a third chance. The first chance is Righteous way, the second time is ignorance at best.”

"What about giving people a third chance?"

Zong Dao: "That's a fool, a fool who deserves to die. Don't have any mercy on this kind of person, have mercy on the world, not just one person."

"Disciple understands~"

Tian Ya didn't know whether what the master said was true or not, but... the master didn't teach him to be a monk, but had other purposes.

Eighteen Khitan warriors moved out all the valuables from the entire cottage. The cottage has quite a lot of inventory, two boxes of gold and silver treasures, and other than that are some cloth utensils. It seems that they robbed the passing merchants.

There is a row of women kneeling in the center, and even a few children.

"Master, all those who tried to resist will be cut off. These people are quite honest and did not resist."

"All benefactors, please hurry up... The poor monk is called Zongxin. I heard that banditry is rampant here and the people suffer. The poor monk came here to cut off the root of this evil. All benefactors did not resist. They must have been caught by these inhuman bandits. Forcibly tied up the mountain. The guardian listened to the order and distributed some money to these benefactors, so that they could settle down and live a good life."

The truth of Zong Xin's performance, even if he said honestly and shamelessly just now that the world is an enemy...

"It's shameless, isn't it?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "As long as you have a position for yourself and hold on to this position, then the so-called benevolent is invincible."

"I understand. Master accepted these eighteen Khitan warriors from the standpoint of a holy monk. Even if they did bad things, it has nothing to do with me, but these people's bad habits are hard to change. Master only wants to rob this bandit den, even if they kill them There are so many people, he only came to eliminate the banditry. Most of the people left behind are relatives of the bandits, and they could have been killed, but Master hopes that they will pass on his name."

'when~~'

Zhao Kuangyin tapped Tianya's little bald head, and then said: "You are wrong in the last sentence. Zong Xin doesn't care about fame. Zong Xin is just afraid of killing innocent people by mistake, so he let them all go. You still have a lot to learn. This stinky monk is better than you. Far more powerful, far more cunning, and far more merciful in faith."

Tian Ya is also very strange, according to Master's theory just now, he should kill all these people, at most keep a few to pass on his name.But he didn't do so. Could it be that he was really afraid of killing a good person by mistake?

After sending everyone away, Zong Xin asked a few people to leave the stronghold with most of the boxes of gold and silver jewelry. The remaining people set a fire and burned the entire stronghold.
