Chapter 80: All the Horse Bandits Deserve to Die (2 chapters combined into one, please subscribe!)
Quicksand Collection.

Out of the first inn in Hanhai.

After preparing dry food and water, Yang Chen and the other two set out from the Quicksand Village. Meng Qi looked up at the vast Gobi Desert and said:

"Master Gu, the Luo Ju has issued the Evil Blade Hunting Order. The road ahead will surely be filled with obstacles and extremely dangerous.

You may return now. I have already made a rough note of the terrain of the vast ocean you described over the past few days."

Gu Changqing was silent for a moment after hearing this.

His face was solemn, but there seemed to be a glint of light in his eyes, and then he said loudly: "I am a chivalrous man. Even if there are thousands of people in front of me, I will still go!"

Meng Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

He turned his head and stared at Gu Changqing, and advised: "Mr. Gu, when you are doing good deeds, you should also consider your own situation."

Such pure knights seem to exist only in stories and legends.

Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said, "I know what's going on, and I won't act rashly. Although this road is dangerous, it's not without hope. The bandits are scattered across the vast sea. Besides, aren't you, Meng Qi, a similar person?"

"what?"

Meng Qi looked bewildered.

Gu Changqing pointed his whip to the west and said:

"Faced with such a formidable enemy, with your respected master and fellow apprentice missing, you could have simply returned east, safely to Shaolin Temple to seek aid. No one would have faulted you in the slightest. Yet, you resolutely ventured deep into the vast ocean, braving numerous dangers, simply to find your fellow apprentice. Such loyalty truly qualifies you as a 'knight.'"

Xia?!

Meng Qi was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. A surge of heroic spirit surged within him. He drew out the Red Sun Demon-Suppressing Knife, pointed it at the depths of the vast ocean, and shouted, "You bandits and rats, you're nothing to worry about. Clean your necks and wait patiently for me to test your knife!"

"Hahaha!"

Gu Changqing was also touched by this heroic sentiment and laughed heartily, saying, "In this vast land, how can a bandit like Ma cover the sky with one hand? Let's see who will be the hegemon here today!"

Yang Chen looked at the two of them and sighed in his heart.

It's good that Gu Changqing has a chivalrous heart, but his martial arts skills are insufficient, and his parents and family are in the Western Regions.

In "One World", Gu Changqing's family was implicated by his chivalrous behavior, and eventually the whole family was killed by horse bandits!

Yang Chen naturally didn't want this to happen, so he advised Gu Changqing to go home. Gu Changqing broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this!

"I thought it was too simple. Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yang. I will go back to Gujiabao to look after my parents first."

Yang Chen said, "When parents are still alive, one should not travel far. If one travels, one must have a plan. In the future, the three of us will reunite in the martial arts world!"

"This is so true!"

Gu Changqing was infected by his heroic spirit and laughed:

"Gu respectfully wishes you two a successful start!"

Meng Qi also responded with a loud laugh. As the laughter echoed, he and Yang Chen urged their horses to gallop, heading straight into the vast ocean, their figures gradually fading away.

Only the dust raised by horse hooves remains, stirring up the sky full of heroic spirit.

……

"Brother, do you know where Zhenhui was taken?"

On the way, Meng Qi galloped on his horse and asked curiously.

"Where do you think the crying old man thing came from?"

Yang Chen did not answer, but asked instead.

A flash of lightning seemed to flash through Meng Qi's mind, and he remembered the grudge between him and the crying old man that his master Xuan Bei had mentioned before!
They had just arrived in the Western Regions when they heard that the crying old man who had been missing for several years had reappeared.

Not only did he serve as the national teacher of "Halle", he also recruited swordsmen and bandits, in an attempt to unite the countries and oases west of the vast sea and east of the God Burial Desert, imitating the pattern of the Central Plains.

"The Crying Old Man, whose real name is unknown, is a master at the pinnacle of the external scene. He is active in Longxi of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Sea of Death, and the Burial God Desert. He ranks 33rd on the local list. He has profound attainments in the 'Mad Sand Divine Art' and the 'Eighteen Beats of the Wronged Souls'. He is considered to be a vicious and stubborn person in the world, and is terrifying." Meng Qi said dimly.

He is no longer the ignorant monk he used to be. He knows that number 33 on the Earth List is no ordinary person. There are only ten Dharma masters on the Heaven List. Even if we include those who are in seclusion, reclusive and unknown, the Weeping Old Man is still a terrifying figure among the top 60 in the world!
Master Xuanbei and the crying old man have a deep hatred!
Xuan Bei, whose common name is Tang Zhan, was once a top master in Ganlong Dao, and was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster.

At that time, Tang Zhan hated evil and once escorted a friend to the "Burial God Mountain" where the Vajra Temple was located. On the way, he met a rapist who raped and killed many female heroes, and he killed him without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the rapist had a powerful master called "Master Tianhuang". He was no match for Tang Zhan, but he was unwilling to see his disciple killed, so he took advantage of Tang Zhan's absence from returning to Ganlong Road and raided Tang Zhan's farm, killing all the old, weak, women and children.

Only an old servant and Tang Zhan's two young sons escaped. They headed west to find Tang Zhan, but unfortunately, he caught up with them before they entered the vast sea...

The old servant and two young sons all died tragically!

After Tang Zhan learned that his entire village had been massacred and his young son had died tragically, it was as if his 35-year dream had been shattered in one day!
Filled with hatred, I vow to take revenge.

But 'Master Tianhuang' also has a master, crying for the old man!

Tang Zhan endured for several years and finally got a good opportunity to kill the entire family of "Master Tianhuang", but was chased by the "Crying Old Man" all the way to the heart of the Central Plains. Fortunately, the abbot of Shaolin Temple took pity on him and introduced him to Buddhism, where he finally found peace. This led to the later Xuan Bei.

Meng Qi sighed, "That day at the inn, when Master Xuanbei recounted this incident, he seemed to be telling someone else's story, without any emotion. His words were calm, his tone even.

Master Xuanbei said: "The reason I revealed my painful past was only to hear the old man's return and warn his disciples not to reveal their whereabouts! But I heard endless loneliness and deep hatred in it!"

"This crying old man is really haunting me...!"

Meng Qi was filled with grief and indignation!

Nine years ago, Su Wuming traveled west, and the Crying Old Man rashly challenged him. As a result, he disappeared from sight ever since. Everyone thought he died at the hands of Su Wuming's sword, but unexpectedly, he has made a comeback now!
Yang Chen smiled and said, “It is said that at that time, Su Wuming was interested in a divine relic in the God Burial Desert and had no intention of sparring.

The weeping old man tried to attack him, so he struck him with a sword. After that, the weeping old man disappeared for nine years.

"Miss Jiang's master is truly a master, capable of dispatching the most ruthless villains with a single blow. I want to be like him someday!" Meng Qi was fascinated by what he heard.

"The Crying Old Man is extremely protective of his own shortcomings, but his methods are cruel and ruthless. If any of his disciples do something that does not meet his expectations, they will be killed by him.

Only those who have gone through hardships and stood out can survive by chance. Therefore, there are only a few elite disciples under his command, and all of them have experienced the trials of life and death.

They struggled to survive in this bloody world, and were used by the people, making a name that was feared by everyone.

The Crying Old Man now has two disciples.

One is Prince Yan Shiche of 'Hal', and the other is the horse bandit Zeluoju who roams the vast sea. Both are top-notch masters!"

Meng Qi felt heavy in his heart.

When the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty was compiling the list of people on earth, they also came up with the standard for the title of "first-class master", which incorporated many established examples and was therefore widely used by everyone.

In martial arts practice, after the exterior scene, there are three ladders stretching out in front of you. Every time you cross three levels, your strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Every time he breaks through the threshold of the third heaven, he is far better than before. The difference in realm is truly like heaven and earth.

Above the peak of the outer scene, there is another wonderful realm, called Half-Step Dharmakaya, which is also a realm of qualitative change, called "Grand Master".

The seventh, eighth and ninth levels of the exterior scenes are collectively called "Grandmasters", while the fourth, fifth and sixth levels of the exterior scenes are called "Top Masters".

Those who have reached the first, second and third levels of the exterior scene are called "first-class masters".

As for Banbu Waijing, he is considered a "second-rate master".

Looking at the realm of awakening, if all nine orifices are open, it is "third rate"; those with six, seven, or eight orifices open are "fourth rate"; those with two or four orifices open are "ordinary". As for those below the level of opening, they are also called "ninth rate" according to the amount of qi stored and the level of martial arts.

Or denounced as "unfair".

When Meng Qi exchanged for the Iron Shirt, Jiang Zhiwei joked that he was just a mediocre master.

That's according to this standard.

"He also slaughtered the Weeping Old Man's disciples, leaving only a dozen or so. The strongest among them were two vicious men with all nine orifices opened. Aside from An Guoxie, who died at my hands...

The only one left is the leader of the 72 bandits of Helian Mountain, 'Li Di Yan Luo' Youdaduo!"

Meng Qi speculated, "Could it be that Zhenhui has fallen into the hands of 'Instant Yama' You Handuo?"

Yang Chen shook his head.

He was too lazy to think about it. He was not here to suppress the bandits, but to eliminate them. If he encountered horse bandits, he would kill them all to eliminate future troubles.

Although Ze Luoju was the leader of the horse bandits, he dominated the vast sea.

However, the number of horse bandits under his command was only 30%, and there were also many other fierce bandit leaders who were as famous as him.

For example, in the Jinsha Oasis where Gujiabao, where Gu Changqing was born, is located, there is no trace of the Zeluoju influence at all.

Because this place belongs to the "Ice and Snow Mad Blade" Shendu Liao.

The "Ice and Snow Mad Blade" is also a bully in the vast sea. As a first-class master in the outer scene realm, he and Zhe Luo are like water and fire, and are incompatible with each other. It is said that behind him is the "Ashura Temple" of the Nine Paths of Evil, and he is assisted by Meng Nan, the number one master in the Western Regions who has condensed the "Great Ashura Body". His power should not be underestimated.

"All horse bandits deserve to die!"

Yang Chen had already made the decision: kill the horse bandits if he encountered them!

There will definitely be no wrong killing. The people in the evil sect mainly target the masters of the righteous sect, but the horse bandits are different.

The bandits only target ordinary people!

They are guilty of rape and robbery, committing all kinds of evil!

But killing them one by one is too slow.

If you want to kill, go straight to the bandit’s base camp!
"I'm going to kill the horse bandits, enter the immortal trail, and save Zhenhui!"

Zhenhui is the reincarnation of Erlang Shen's spirit, and is also a "treasure" boy with great luck.

Although Yang Chen did not know the location of the bandit stronghold and Zhenhui, someone knew it, so he rode his horse straight to his destination:

Sea of ​​fish.

……

By the sea of fish.

The officers and soldiers in yellow robes and armor rode in a line and galloped past, wantonly molesting the captured Han women on horseback. If the women resisted in the slightest, they would be scolded and beaten.

This group of officers and soldiers rushed towards the sea of fish.

Many of the captured young men were furious and started shouting:

"You are soldiers and garrison troops, you are supposed to protect the people. How can you be so absurd?"

"You officers and soldiers are even worse than bandits!"

"I want to complain to City Lord Bai of Yuhai!"

The officers and soldiers sneered in response: "Haha, these stupid Han pigs still don't understand the situation!"

At this time, more than 30 officers and soldiers appeared in front, driving dozens of cattle and sheep and more than ten Han women.

I only heard one officer say, "The harvest from this sweep wasn't very good. I'm afraid the Lord will be angry!"

Another officer responded: "Although the Han dogs didn't steal many cattle and sheep, they did steal a few good-looking women, who were tender and wet. If you give your Excellency a good time, his temper will improve."

The first officer said, "There are more than a dozen women, not enough to go around. We'll have to work harder tomorrow and grab more."

A soldier laughed and said, "The Han dogs heard the news and fled a long time ago. If we want to launch a large-scale sweep, we'll have to wait two or three months."

Everyone was furious, thinking that what these officers and soldiers did was worse than the vicious horse bandits.

Suddenly, a woman's baby in her arms cried loudly, and she pushed away the hand of a fish naval officer and tried to comfort the child.

The officer was furious. He grabbed the baby and threw him out, then rode his horse over it. The horse's hooves crushed the baby's belly, and the baby's intestines spilled onto the ground.

The Han woman was so frightened that she was stunned and couldn't even cry.

The Yuhai officers and soldiers laughed and walked away.

People in the underworld have seen many brutal things, but to openly kill babies for fun is truly outrageous.

This is the Western Regions.

A land of sin and lawlessness.

Just as this team of officers and soldiers passed by, more than ten officers and soldiers came rushing over. They were riding horses and holding spears with bloody heads on the tips. Nine Han men were tied with long ropes behind their horses.

There were two white-haired old men and seven teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen, who were tied with ropes and dragged on the ground.

These Han people are all ordinary herdsmen.

When the soldiers and officers were looting Yuhai City, the strong and strong herdsmen escaped, but the women, children, and the elderly who were left behind suffered.

I only heard an officer laugh and say:
"We have captured fourteen heads and nine Han dogs alive. This is a great achievement. A promotion and a reward are a given."

Another person said, "Old Huang, there's a Han Chinese market thirty miles to the east. Do you dare to go and raid it?"

Old Huang said, "Why not? Do you think I'm afraid just because I'm new here? I just want to do more good deeds."

"It's a pity that we didn't catch those two Shaolin monks. Otherwise, we could have been promoted three levels!"

"Didn't our City Lord Bai capture a little monk? It seems he will be handed over to Boss Yuan Mengzhi soon."

The two officers were talking loudly.

An old Han man saw the child's body on the ground, cried out in grief, rushed over, hugged the child tightly, kissed him and wailed.

Although the officers and soldiers did not understand the child's language, they knew that the child was his closest relative, so they pulled the old man's rope and urged him on.

The old man was furious. He rushed towards the soldier, pulled him off his horse, and bit his neck.

Seeing this, another officer attacked the old man's back from his horse, pulling him away and allowing the soldier to get up.

The soldier became angry and slashed at the old man several more times, but the old man remained standing, swaying.

The officers and soldiers raised their spears and swords and surrounded the old man.

The old man faced the red sun in the east and made a sad sound like a ghost crying. For a moment, all the officers looked frightened.

"what sound?"

Meng Qi's heart trembled, and in an instant, he seemed to have a spiritual connection with the Han old man. He had also made these ghost cries before death. In the reincarnation world, he was trapped in a desperate situation, stabbed and stabbed several times. He knew he was going to die, but it was difficult for him to return to his homeland. He was so sad and angry that he howled like a wild ghost.

Hearing these shouts, Meng Qi suddenly had a bad premonition. Without thinking too much, he and Yang Chen rode their horses at full speed and saw a group of soldiers and officers galloping and abducting Han people.

"Officers and soldiers?"

Meng Qi was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

"There are no soldiers in the Western Regions!" Yang Chen drew his sword and jumped up, rushing towards the Yu Hai soldiers and killing them.

In the excitement of killing, Yang Chen abandoned his sword and even hit their horses one by one, smashing them all to pieces!

After a while of shouting and neighing, the sound of horses fell silent. The eight Han people were so shocked by his divine power that they were stunned.

Meng Qi was even more frightened.

I have never seen Yang Chen with such murderous intent!
Yang Chen killed more than ten horse bandits and let out a long roar that was heard a hundred meters away. Seeing the old man who had been stabbed several times was still standing, he admired him and walked up to him, but saw that the white-haired old man was holding his head high, facing the east, and had already died.

"All the horse bandits deserve to die!"

Yang Chen was filled with grief and anger, and he jumped onto his horse, chasing the bandits in the direction of Yuhai!

"You guys should leave quickly!"

After Meng Qi finished speaking to the survivors, he rode his horse to catch up.

At this moment, I understood clearly that these people were soldiers when they put on these clothes, and they were bandits when they took off these clothes.

It has always been like this in the Western Regions.

But it has always been like this, so is it right?
