Raising the Demon

Chapter 714
"So you are the leader of the sand bandits." The simple and honest man seemed to know the identity of the Mobei fierce wolf, and his tone sounded a little unhappy.

"That's right, but you regret being friends with me?" Mobei fierce wolf shook his head.

"In my life, I hate people who snatch other people's things and fulfill their own greed." The simple and honest man shook his head, and then stopped talking.

The Mobei ferocious wolf wanted to explain something, but he still shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Brother, this brother is going to Mobei Mansion, if it is convenient for you, take him along." Mobei fierce wolf said to Mr. An.

"I don't need robbers to help me." The simple and honest man shook his head.

The fierce wolf in Mobei became angry for a while.

Of these two people, one was the one who had saved his life and was treated as a brother by him.

One is someone who just met, but chatted speculatively, quite hit it off.

But after they knew his identity, their attitude towards him had a 180-degree turn, which made him angry.

Even a clay figurine has a three-point temper, not to mention that he is the leader of sand robbers.

"I don't care what you think of me, but there are some things I have to say clearly!" Mobei fierce wolf said to the simple and honest man: "We sand people have lived in the desert for generations, and we make a living by panning for gold in the desert. The oasis in the desert can also make us self-sufficient. It is the officials of your heavenly kingdom who oppress us and rob us of what belongs to us. The reason why we become sand robbers is only to take back what belongs to us. We sand people Naturally raised, living in the desert, I don’t take you a cent, why should I pay taxes to you? What’s wrong with us taking back what you took away? Don’t tell me you people are tax collectors Under the guise, depriving us of something is not called robbery?"

"You are a fallacy. Is it the land of the king in the whole world? You live on this land, so naturally you have to pay taxes." Mr. An snorted coldly.

"Pedantic, ridiculous!" Mobei fierce wolf shook his head again and again, "I appreciate your kindness and integrity, but you are too pedantic, brother!"

"What you said makes sense." The simple and honest man bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and then said to the fierce wolf in Mobei, "If the emperor asks you to pay taxes, you should assume the obligations to you, and if you don't fulfill the obligations to you, you will not pay the power to tax."

"Yes, well said, brother, you still have insight!" Mobei fierce wolf patted the simple and honest man's shoulder vigorously, said.

"This is just what our adults said." The simple and honest man said, "People are born to live in this world, and everyone has the right to enjoy the resources of this world. No one is qualified to hold all resources in their own hands. exploit other people."

"That's the reason, brother, you are right!"

"Absurd, absurd!" Mr. An blushed, "Who said such outrageous words?"

"My lord." The simple and honest man said.

"Hmph, I don't want to take a lawless person like you! You can ask your good friend to take you there!" Mr. An snorted angrily, and told the coachman to drive away.

"Oh, my brother, everything is fine, but he's too pedantic." Seeing Mr. An go away, the Mobei fierce wolf shook his head again.

The simple and honest man also shook his head. These two people seem to have a good relationship, but their ideas are really different, so getting along is always so awkward.

But what's even stranger is... why did these two people become friends?

Sure enough, the world is so big that there are no surprises.

"Brother, I can't send you to Mobei Mansion... You, give my brother your mount." The Mobei fierce wolf pointed at a sand thief, and the sand thief quickly handed over the reins in his hand.

"Okay, thank you." The simple and honest man did not refuse, and took it.

"Brother, my name is Bei Qiang, I still don't know your name?" Mobei fierce wolf said to the simple and honest man.

"My name is Xue Congshan."

Watching Mr. An, Xue Congshan and the others disappear into the distance one after the other, the Mobei fierce wolf looked around.

The one-eyed wolf and the others were still standing beside him, looking at him in conviction, waiting for him to give orders.

In any case, they are all Sand People, all of the same race.In fact, there are already many Sand Pirates like the one-eyed wolf who have been doing all kinds of evil for a long time.

This desert is becoming more and more barren, the tax is getting higher and higher, and the pressure is also increasing. He has gradually been unable to support himself.

Do you really have to put all your eggs in one basket?
Can't wait anymore...

I must go to find the legendary land of ancestors...

……

Mr. An left in a fit of anger, and Xue Congshan rode a pony and followed him unhurriedly.

He didn't want to have more contact with Mr. An, so naturally he wouldn't want to go forward, and he didn't know the way to Mobei Mansion, so naturally he could only follow behind.

After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding area was still so desolate, and there was no shadow of the city at all.

Fortunately, Xue Congshan was used to trekking alone in the wilderness, so he didn't have any impatience.

He was running his exercises, feeling the footsteps of the pony under his crotch, and his thoughts extended, as if the pony had become a part of his body, and he was measuring the area with his own feet. land.

Step through the iron shoes and look at the autumn water.

Search all over the Cangshan Mountains, explore the secrets of the world.

This is the purpose of Tanyou Sect, and also their way of practice.

Use your own feet to measure the land, cross the long river, and climb the peak. Every step is a practice and an accumulation.

And he, when he crossed the desert some time ago, finally broke through to the fourth level of the cultivation method. He can extend his thoughts and feelings, and speed up his practice through some simple means of transportation.

Gradually, he had a strange resonance with this land, as if this land had a spirituality and wanted to tell him something.

pain.

barren.

struggle.

What kind of land is this...

Xue Congshan felt like his chest was being torn apart.

Over the past few days, he has been walking step by step, and with each step, he is able to understand adults' minds better.

Why save the world?

Because the world has suffered too much.

Every inch of land is soaked in pain, and it can no longer bear more.

Tan Youzong's technique was derived from Zi Baifeng's Demon Cultivation Art. The fourth level of technique has just been created. He can sense the earth, and he can also sense the veins of the earth. , I injected my spirit into the earth, slowly changing the earth and the veins.

This is the reason why he established the Tanyou Sect, to use his own feet to discover the beauty of this world, and use his own strength to save this land.

When Xue Congshan was immersed in the interaction with this world, a whistle sounded suddenly, and an arrow shot in front of Mr. An's carriage.

"Hey, robbery!"

A group of sand people dressed in white clothes, with white cloth scarves around their faces, and white cloth heads poured out from all around. When they came out, they saw the carriage and immediately laughed: "It's rare to meet a fat sheep, brothers, everyone killed!"

At this moment, Xue Congshan was speechless, what kind of place is this.

He reached into his arms, already planning to make a move.

Suddenly a group of people rushed out from behind, shouted a few times, and rushed towards those sand robbers. Xue Congshan recognized those people, they were One-Eyed Wolf and others.

It seemed that Bei Qiang was still worried, so he sent them to secretly protect them.

Mr. An didn't stop, and continued on the road. Along the way, he encountered three waves of sand bandits. It seemed that someone had leaked Mr. An's whereabouts, and these sand bandits came to ambush him.

At the end, those sand robbers didn't even pay attention to the one-eyed wolf and others, and shouted: "This is our prey, you get out of here, and rushed up with steel knives."

Xue Congshan sighed helplessly, he also drew his sword, and killed him.

Seeing Bei Qiang's face, Xue Congshan didn't want to kill these people, so he stabbed a man's shoulder with his sword, picked him off the horse, and suddenly stabbed his sword diagonally, piercing the man's throat.

When Xue Congshan turned his head, he saw Mr. An standing behind him with a sword in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.

At this time, Mr. An is not like Mr. Pianpian just now. He has a cold face and murderous intent in his eyes. From his body, Xue Congshan seemed to see a familiar shadow in a daze, and he was stunned for a moment. .

"Dang!" Mr. An suddenly drew his sword, caught a sand robber's scimitar, and shouted angrily, "Why are you in a daze?"

"Why did you kill them?" It's not that Xue Congshan didn't notice that person, it's just that these people are just ordinary sand robbers, and their strength is far behind him, so he never paid attention to them at all.

"Each of these people has dozens of lives in their hands. If you kill one, you can save ten of my people!" Mr. An said coldly, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" His two guards, and even the housekeeper's book boy, joined the battle with long swords.

Xue Congshan shook his head speechlessly, and said after a while: "Just now, the one-eyed wolf and the others, why didn't you kill them?"

"If it wasn't for Bei Qiang, I would have killed them all!" Mr. An said.

The one-eyed wolf was right next to Mr. An. Hearing this, he snorted and blocked a knife from one person, but was slashed in the ribs by another person, and the blood flowed profusely.

After a fierce battle, when they killed all the Sand Pirates, One Eyed Wolf was also seriously injured, and several of his brothers died.

The one-eyed wolf gathered up all the corpses, put them on the horseback, and took them away regardless of enemy or friend.

"He took them back and buried them with the ceremony of the sand people." Looking at the one-eyed wolf who left without saying a word, Mr. An explained.

Xue Congshan hummed. When he was walking in the desert, he also saw the funeral in the desert.

The one-eyed wolf was no longer able to fight, nor was he able to protect Mr. An. His mission had been completed, so he naturally left.

Counting carefully, along the way, they encountered a total of five waves of sand robbers, and the one-eyed wolf drove away three waves. There were two battles, and this time was the worst.

"What kind of place is this... killing each other so much, and why..." Xue Congshan murmured.

"You are not from Mobei Prefecture, so you will never understand." Mr. An lowered his head and said in a barely audible voice, "Because... the oases in the desert are starting to dry up..."

Whether it is the sand people or the Han people in Mobei Prefecture, they are all just for survival.

Survival, a simple word, is more difficult than anything else.

"Even so, you still insist that Sha people should pay taxes?" Xue Congshan did not sympathize with Mr. An.

"That...is different..." Mr. An's tone was weak.

They have to make the sand people pay taxes because they have to survive too.

He is Mr. An.

The eldest son of Mr. An, the magistrate of Mobei Prefecture.
