Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Seeing that the three chief镖师 (chief镖师) had been wounded and captured one after another, the镖师 (镖师) immediately became enraged and drew their weapons to protect the镖车 (镖车) behind them.

"Let's all charge forward shoulder to shoulder! It's either you die or I die!"

Xie Xiaoyi was considering how to save Lin Sanniang, since she had treated him quite well.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young monk who was standing to the side suddenly got up and walked towards the group of robbers.

The old monk, who had been counting prayer beads with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "..."

"Tiger and rhinoceros, do not be reckless!"

The young monk named Hu Si could no longer contain himself. He rushed to Zhao Gui, who was about to chop Liu Heng and his companion in half with an axe, and clasped his hands together in prayer.

"Benefactor, lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

Zhao Gui looked down at the little monk in front of him, who had a childish voice but a righteous look on his face, and was taken aback:

"Become a Buddha? What good is becoming a Buddha?"

"Benefactor, believing in Buddhism will greatly benefit you."

"Damn it, I've never even shared a drink with your Buddha, why should I believe him?"

"Once you believe in Buddhism, you will know who you are, what you want to do, where you come from, and where you are going!"

The old monk gently shook his head.

Honestly, talking to those people about this is like casting pearls before swine.

Zhao Gui slammed his large axe on the ground:

"Even if I don't believe in Buddhism, I know I'm Zhao Gui, and what I'm here to do is rob!"

"Coming from Wenshan, I've been committing murder and robbery in various places; why would I need Buddha to tell me?"

The little tiger-rhinoceros monk was dumbfounded; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Hey you little bald monk, get out of the way! Don't block us old men from making our fortune!"

"If you weren't so penniless, not a single coin to your name, we would have robbed you too!"

The little tiger-rhinoceros monk suddenly flew into a rage: "Nonsense!"

The sound startled Zhao Gui, who was standing next to him, and he immediately grabbed the axe from the ground.

"What...what are you doing?"

Tiger Rhino touched the satchel on his back and said in a serious tone:

"Who says I don't have a single penny on me!"

I still have over ten taels of silver in my satchel, all from the alms my master and I begged for!

The old monk, listening nearby, felt his eyelids twitch and immediately raised his hand to slap his forehead hard.

That foolish apprentice.

There's no reason to voluntarily reveal your family's assets!

Zhao Gui's eyes lit up instantly, and he grinned, aiming his axe at the tiger's head.

"oh?

There are still more than ten taels of silver left?

"That's perfect, you little bald monk. Hand over the silver from your satchel obediently, and I might spare your life!"

Tiger-horse took half a step back, gripped the straps of its satchel tightly, and said with righteous indignation:

"This is donation money from begging; it's for repairing the temple, so I can't give it to you."

Zhao Gui was too lazy to argue with him. His smile vanished instantly, and he cursed, "You ungrateful brat."

He swung his large axe down at the tiger's head, the axe flashing and carrying a fierce force.

Xie Xiaoyi was prepared to help, because the little monk was innocent and naive, and he felt a strong connection with him.

The old monk suddenly stood up, his hands, which had been hanging at his sides, abruptly raised, his fingertips forming a hand seal:

"Great Golden Bell Shield—Down!"

The words fell.

With a "thud," a pale golden light shield, visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared above the head of the little tiger-rhinoceros monk.

Shaped like a giant golden bell, it completely protects the tiger and rhinoceros within.

"clang--!"

The large axe slammed down on the golden bell, producing a deafening roar and sending sparks flying.

Zhao Gui felt a tremendous force coming from the axe handle, which caused his tiger's mouth to split open and bleed profusely. He felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

He stumbled back seven or eight steps, then fell flat on his back with a thud, landing in an extremely unsightly position.

Xie Xiaoyi was secretly alarmed.

The Great Golden Bell Shield?

Isn't this the unique protective skill of Dajue Temple?

This old monk looks kind and unremarkable, but he is actually a top-notch master who is hiding his true abilities!

The golden bell rang loudly, and the henchmen were so frightened by the overwhelming righteous energy that they retreated one after another, each one speechless with astonishment.

"Holy crap, it's...it's like a true Buddha has descended to earth! This golden bell is protected by Buddha's light!"

The leader of the group, Han Tianlei, stared wide-eyed at the pale golden bell.

This isn't the protection of Buddha's light at all.

This is clearly the cultivation level of transforming qi into form. Could this be the legendary peak of the ninth rank?

Vajra Holy Realm?

The second-in-command, Mou Shaoyue, squinted, stroking his beard as he quickly calculated the old monk's origins.

As the golden light from the bell gradually faded, Han Tianlei finally recovered from his shock and took a step forward:

"Old monk! Are you trying to meddle in my business?"

The old monk slowly lowered his hand from the mudra, clasped his hands together, and remained calm.

"You all misunderstand. This old monk's actions are not meddling in other people's business, but rather to save your lives."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the henchmen.

"Save our lives?" one of the henchmen yelled. "Who are you trying to fool, you old bald donkey!"

"Exactly! Did they put a knife to their own throat? Do they need you to save them?"

Mou Shaoyue had a sudden inspiration:

"Master, we're determined to rob this shipment today. You're a high-ranking monk; you shouldn't kill, right?"

Before the old monk could speak, the young tiger-rhinoceros monk spoke first:

"My master never kills any living creature. He doesn't even step on ants; he always avoids them."

"Since that's the case, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of henchmen roared and charged forward, heading straight for the caravan.

Upon seeing this, the镖队 (bodyguards) immediately grabbed their weapons and roared as they charged forward.

However, the Wenshan henchmen numbered over a hundred, and each of them was fierce and menacing.

The group of bodyguards numbered only twenty or thirty, and with their three leaders subdued, they were quickly routed and forced to retreat.

Several bodyguards were cut down and fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Zhao Hang and Liu Heng collapsed to the ground, their bones feeling like they were falling apart, and could only watch helplessly as their companions were surrounded and attacked.

Lin San Niang was both shocked and furious, but she was restrained by the drought thunder, and her desperate struggles were useless.

"Thunderbolt! You filthy scoundrel, let me go if you dare, then I'll beat you up again!"

Han Tianlei lowered his head, glared at her with a lewd smile, and pulled her into his arms.

"Girl, even if you're ruthless, you can't be on top of people, can you?"

"Watch me pin you down tonight, make you completely submissive, and cry out in pleasure. Then you'll know what I, Lei-ye, am capable of!"

Lin San Niang was so angry at his lewd words that she trembled all over, and her chest was being pinched, causing her sharp pain from time to time.

But he was powerless and could not break free from Han Tianlei's arms.

Seeing the bodyguards being cut down one by one, and Lin San Niang firmly restrained by Han Tian Lei, Hu Si couldn't help but shout to the old monk:

"Master!"

The old monk looked at the fallen bodyguards, a look of pity on his face, and gently waved his hand at them.

"Killing is for the purpose of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person."

Tiger understood instantly, his brows furrowed, and he stomped his feet on the ground, leaping into the air.

Suspended in mid-air, his clenched fist slammed down hard towards the very center of the battle between the bodyguards and their henchmen below!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud rang out, and a powerful gust of wind suddenly swept out from the fist imprint.

The bodyguards and their henchmen, who were locked in combat, were being pushed and shoved as if by an invisible hand.

They were all jolted apart and staggered to the sides, leaving a clearing about ten feet square in the middle.

Xie Xiaoyi almost cried out in surprise.

Oh my God!

No wonder this little monk is called Tiger Rhinoceros?

Isn't this superhuman strength?
