Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 122 Chapter 121, The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
"I'm here, brother!" With a response, Taoist Master Jueming came out from the back, followed by a group of Taoist priests of different heights.

"Master Youshun, these are all the suitable people from our Taoist temple who can go down the mountain! If you hadn't come, we would have planned to find an opportunity to get rid of the bandits in Hutou Mountain, but you came! These days, I also sent people to inquire about it, and I know that you are sincerely fighting against the Japanese and saving the people. Therefore, we decided to go down the mountain and follow you to eradicate those evil obstacles that are causing trouble in the world!"

After Taoist Master Jue'an finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the Three Pure Ones, then placed his whisk on the chopping board, took off his Taoist robe, folded it, and respectfully placed it on the chopping board. Then, he combed his hair, tied it into a bun again, and took out a piece of cloth to tie up the messy ends of his hair.

"Three Pure Ones, I, your disciple Jue'an, must go down the mountain to slay demons today. I can no longer serve the Three Pure Ones! I will return to the mountain gate when the world is at peace!" Jue'an's voice rang out in the main hall. Jueming, along with a group of Taoists, saluted the Three Pure Ones, then took off his Taoist robe, put down his whisk, and combed his hair into a bun.

When they stood up again, they were all dressed like ordinary people, with long swords on their backs.

"Well... everyone is welcome to join my Beishan Guerrillas!" Li Yuexuan had already decided in his mind to accept these people, so he saluted them again.

"Okay, layman, from now on we are brothers who stir the pot together. Don't worry, as long as our team is sincere in fighting the Japanese, our brothers in Qingfeng Temple will never fall behind! After that incident happened, we wanted to fight against the Japanese. We wanted to fight against the Japanese. Are we afraid of it? However, the big man issued an order: Anyone who talks about fighting against the Japanese will be killed without mercy!"

"It feels frustrating, right? Can a good person endure such frustration? Absolutely not! Therefore, over the years, I have trained these disciples of ours according to the training standards of the Northern Expedition. So, don't worry, as long as we give them weapons and some more training, they will be good at killing the enemy!" Taoist Master Jueming seemed to have found a way to vent his anger, and he kept talking while holding Li Yuexuan.

"Jueming...disciples, light another stick of incense for the Three Pure Ones, and then we'll go!" After Taoist Master Juean said this, he silently picked up a stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

Under the leadership of Jue'an, a group of Taoist priests burned incense one by one and bid farewell.

"Master, senior brother... are you really leaving?" At this time, a little Taoist boy, about seven or eight years old, with red eyes, came out from behind and hugged Jue'an.

"Haha, yes, Master is going to take your fellow brothers down the mountain to eliminate the demons! You must remember the instructions I gave you yesterday. From now on, you must guard the mountain gate carefully and preserve a trace of inheritance for our Qingfeng Temple! Also, take good care of your Grandmaster Yuan Xin. Although he is old and weak, he has profound Taoism. From now on, you will just have to live on the five acres of thin land in the back mountain!" Jue'an said, touching the little Taoist boy's head.

"Master, are you coming back?" the little Taoist boy asked, raising his head.

"Are you coming back? The master doesn't know either... Okay, stop crying. From today on, Qingfeng Temple depends on you! Take it and offer it to the founder." After Taoist Jue'an said this, he took the silver dollars that Li Yuexuan had placed on the altar and gave them to the little Taoist priest. Then he turned around resolutely, leaving the little Taoist priest with only his back and the sword tassel swaying back and forth.

"Master, this time you will face the guns of the Japanese invaders, aren't you afraid that you will never come back?" On the steps going down the mountain, Li Yuexuan deliberately asked the questions from a story he saw in later life.

"What if we never come back?" Jue'an looked back at the mountain gate, then said, "Then let's never come back!" After saying "never come back", the Taoists who went down the mountain never looked back, and followed Li Yuexuan and the others down the mountain, and then went towards Hutou Mountain.

At this time, in Hutou Mountain Hutou Village, the work of cleaning up the battlefield was still going on. The fire in the kitchen and dining hall, which had not yet been burned, was finally stopped after the soldiers poured several large jars of clean water. At this time, only black smoke and water vapor were rising.

Seeing that the fire was out, the soldiers worked hard for a while and then moved away the burnt wood, cleared away the dust from the burnt thatch, and looked for anything they could use in the kitchen.

What can be used in the kitchen? There are so many good things! What? 18 jars of unopened Fenjiu, are they good things? A jar of soy sauce, a jar of vinegar, a jar of lard, are they good things? A whole sack of white large-grain salt, are they good things?

This bag is at least 200 kilograms. How long will it take for the comrades to eat it? In addition, there are 35 roast chickens dug out from the ashes. Can they be eaten after washing them?

The roast chicken is not the traditional roast chicken that is sold ready-made, but the roast chicken that was burned alive. Well, because the fire was put out quickly, the chickens that were originally kept in the kitchen and were ready to be slaughtered died, but the meat is still edible, just a little mud and coal ash, nothing special! In addition to these chickens, there are also the vegetables stored in the back of the kitchen, which are also good things!

All kinds of food are good things, and a complete set of kitchen utensils are also good things! What about the small pot for cooking, the big pot for stewing, and the steamer for steaming dry food? Aren’t these good things? And there are several kitchen knives. They are good knives that will not break no matter how much you smash garlic. This is perfect to bring back to Lowe’s kitchen team!
In addition to knives, there are also ladles, bowls, chopsticks, plates, etc. In short, nothing that can be used can be left behind! Even the stove grate must be removed and taken away!

Of course, the things obtained from the kitchen and the dining hall were at most daily necessities, which were of little value but indispensable. The truly valuable things were the supplies in the boxes hidden in the basement by Guoshanlong. In addition to these, there were also the money looted from the bandits and their weapons and ammunition.

When Li Yuexuan brought the Bai brothers, the Huyan brothers and the Taoist priests to the foot of Hutou Mountain, Xing Weiguo had just finished counting the spoils.

"Captain, Captain Guo, these are the lists of supplies I compiled! This time, we killed 156 bandits and captured 12 of them, 7 of whom were injured. Next, I will tell you about the weapons we seized!" Xing Weiguo grinned, took a deep breath and exhaled, then spoke.

"This time, we seized 26 4% new speed selectors and 20 brand new speed selectors that had not yet been cleaned of gun oil. They were all 1-shot German-made. That's not all. We found a full rounds of ammunition in the basement, all of which were Mauser pistol bullets specially used for box guns."

"So many bullets? These bandits really have connections! Ha, they are much richer than us!" While speaking, Captain Guo rubbed his cheeks and quickly took the opportunity to close his mouth.
