From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Given the overwhelming numbers on the other side, it's best to avoid conflict if possible.

"Didn't you hear what this young hero said? Put down your guns!"

Luo Laowai was initially terrified, but then he reacted and immediately shouted at the soldiers who were approaching with guns, "If anything happens to me, you won't get a single penny!"

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers had no choice but to put down their guns and retreat a few meters.

"Young man, can you let me go now?"

Luo Laowai forced a smile.

Jiang Liu then lifted his foot.

After getting up, Luo Laowai didn't run towards the soldiers. As if he knew the abilities of extraordinary people, he smiled and said, "Young brothers, it was my fault just now. I apologize to you now!"

After saying that, he even clasped his hands and bowed to them in a very respectful manner, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

However, they are also adept at reading people and understanding the times.

Jiang Liu thought to himself, and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "General Luo is a hero. I was impulsive just now, but these days are chaotic, so we need to be more careful. I think General Luo can understand."

"I understand! How could I not understand?"

Seeing that Jiang Liu was mature beyond his years and even called himself "General", Luo Laowai was delighted, but he also talked about his past hardships.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two seemed to be "mutually attracted," leaving Lu Jin and Li Muxuan dumbfounded.

"These three young men shouldn't be from Renjia Town, right?"

After finishing his pointless chatter, Luo Laowai inquired about the three men's backgrounds.

"No."

Jiang Liu shook his head, "They're here to perform ancient magic tricks."

Lu Jin: "To escort someone."

Li Muxuan: "Same as above."

"..."

Although he didn't know the origins of the three men, Luo Laowai did know one thing: they were out making money!

"You three, do you want to make a lot of money?"

Luo Laowai stroked his thick beard and chuckled, "Your sects haven't been doing too well these past few years, have they? After all, these times are chaotic, and money is the only real thing. You 'immortals' who cultivate in the mountains can't really live without any worldly desires, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Liu.

It wasn't the hint of mockery in Luo Laowai's tone towards the supernatural sects, but rather his feeling about the other party's mention of "making money"—

Does it sound a little familiar?

# Chapter 111 Luo Laowai

"Making money? I'd like to hear more about it."

Seeing that Luo Laowai knew about the sect of extraordinary people, Jiang Liu wasn't curious. He just wanted to know what this guy was doing here with his people and whether it would affect the lives of the local residents.

if--

Then he'll have to step in and give them a good "advice".

"In this area of ​​western Hunan, emperors of various dynasties practiced alchemy there, and some were even buried there after their deaths..."

Jiang Liu understood before the other person finished speaking.

Tomb raiding.

Lu Jin understood, his face turned cold, and he said, "I hope Commander Luo will find someone more capable. We are cultivators, and we do not do things like digging up other people's graves."

Li Muxuan didn't speak, but he also stood on Lu Jin's side.

The Three Ones represent the Mysterious Gate.

Disciples of the Xuanmen sect belong to the three superior religions; how could they possibly engage in the lowly affairs of the nine classes?

Moreover, it's the most despicable act: "tomb raiding"!

You can't say that.

Luo Laowai chuckled as he spouted his twisted logic, "When people are starving to death, who cares about morality?"

I, Luo Laowai, have some connections. I know a brother who knows a bit about the national situation. So let me tell you the truth: the war will not stop for the next twenty or thirty years. It's not just us fighting for power and profit; those foreign bastards are also eyeing our land covetously!

As time goes on, the impact will widen, and even you mountain 'gods' will find it difficult to remain unaffected!

At this point, Luo Laowai felt that these cultivators were too rigid in their thinking, so he added, "Besides, which emperor of all dynasties, from Qin Shi Huang to Guangxu, was a good person? They were all thieves. The big thieves stole the country, the medium thieves stole righteousness, and the small thieves stole the marquises. The victor is king and the loser is villain. Only the lowest of the low stole gold and silver."

I, Luo Laowai, am nothing more than a lowly thief, stealing gold and silver just to support this large group of brothers behind me.

They are willing to entrust their lives to me, so how can I let them suffer?

They had suffered a defeat previously, leaving them with only three or four thousand men, and most of their funds had been used up... In these times, whoever has the guns is king!

Jiang Liu understood this principle as well.

During this period, the law was practically non-existent, and people acted according to their conscience and moral bottom line, while warlords relied on men and guns.

What Luo Laowai said was half true and half false, but Jiang Liu could roughly guess that he had suffered a defeat and lost many soldiers and generals, and wanted to obtain a lot of money through tomb raiding in order to recruit soldiers and buy weapons to create a new glory.

However, Jiang Liu was unwilling to engage in tomb raiding, so he clasped his hands and said, "General Luo is an honest man, but we are cultivators, and we will not do such things unless necessary."

Seeing that he couldn't reason with him, Luo Laowai gave up.

Looking at the long queue, Li Muxuan said, "I guess Renjia Town is going to be in trouble. That guy with the scar on his face is definitely trying to recruit some strong men from here."

"Jia Ting, Ting Ting, will you be alright?"

Lu Jin, however, became worried about the Ren family.

"Probably not?"

Li Muxuan stretched, "They definitely need male offspring. As for women, they'll probably be forcibly taken as concubines..."

At this point, Li Muxuan also realized what was going on.

Something terrible is definitely going to happen to the Ren family!

Ren Tingting did indeed become Lin Jiu's disciple, but although Luo Laowai feared the power of the superhumans, he seemed unafraid of the forces behind them.

After all, most sects specializing in supernatural abilities wouldn't take action against such warlords.

Unlike Jiang Liu and Li Muxuan, Lin Jiu is quite principled in his actions and dealings. He certainly wouldn't use his abilities to deal with Luo Laowai.

"I'll stay in Renjia Town for a couple more days to see how things go. What about you?"

Jiang Liu questioned the two of them.

After all, although the three of them were traveling together, their missions were different. Jiang Liu was there to celebrate Ren Tingting's birthday and perform magic tricks on behalf of Wang Yaozu; Lu Jin and Li Muxuan were there to escort Ren Jiating back to Renjia Town. Therefore, after both sides finished their missions, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan could go back on their own first.

"Of course we should stay."

Li Muxuan was the first to express his desire to get involved.

Staying at the Sanyi Sect meant nothing more than gathering herbs, carrying water, cultivating, and reading. Now that they had finally come out, they naturally wanted to see the wider world of martial arts.

Lu Jin also wanted to stay.

Besides sharing similar ideas with Li Muxuan, Jiang Liu also hoped to learn more about how to conduct oneself in society, such as speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.

During the time he cultivated the Reversal of Eight Directions, Lu Jin became familiar with the people in the San Yi Sect's territory. However, this was because the people in that area were generally kind, and since he was still a young boy, they would give him a friendly look.

Outside of the territory of the Three Ones Mystic Sect, the people in other places are even more diverse and varied, including the kind, the cunning, and the treacherous.

Different people have different magnetic field fluctuations.

To cultivate the ability to reverse the eight directions and perceive the magnetic field of people, one needs to come into contact with all living beings.

The Lesser Vehicle (Hinayana) allows one's own magnetic field to flow.

The middle way is to make one's own magnetic field flow together with the magnetic fields of others.

Mahayana Buddhism centers on itself, teaching all sentient beings to revolve around it.

One day later.

Luo Laowai then began recruiting soldiers in Renjia Town. Perhaps because he considered that Jiang Liu and others were in Renjia Town, or perhaps because he learned of the existence of Lin Jiu from Shangqing Maoshan, he did not forcibly conscript men, but instead promoted the idea, which successfully fooled quite a few strong young men.

Fortunately, Qiusheng and Wencai had been sent by Lin Jiu to deliver a message to the Wudang Sect beforehand, otherwise they would definitely have been tricked away.

As Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan had predicted, Luo Laowai indeed targeted the Ren family.

When Ren Fa was alive, he had contact with Luo Laowai. Now that Ren Fa is dead, only three women remain in the family: Xiu Huabai, Ren Jiating, and Ren Tingting. This naturally makes Luo Laowai want to take them all as concubines so that he can rightfully obtain all of the Ren family's inheritance.

How can it be done legitimately?

Naturally, the reason given was to take care of the descendants of old friends!

Ren Wei was too cowardly to stand up to Luo Laowai. His soldiers were all good-for-nothings and could not be compared with bandits who had come from humble backgrounds and had been through many battles.

He naturally became a coward.

Fortunately, Ren Jiating came from the Jiyun Society, which made Luo Laowai hesitate a little, but in the end, he was overcome by lust and prepared to marry her by force.

After all, Jiyun Society is not close to this area!

"General Luo."

Jiang Liu and his group went to the door, hoping he would let the Ren family go.

"Yesterday, it was I, Lao Luo, who spoke rudely first. You taught me a lesson, and I accepted it and even apologized to you. So what brings you here today?"

Unlike yesterday, when Luo Laowai saw the three of them, he did not get up. Instead, he sat down in the main hall of the Ren family with his feet propped up on the coffee table. Calling him a general was an understatement; he was more like a bandit leader.

It was only because he knew that, given the unreasonable behavior of the extraordinary individuals, they wouldn't dare to truly harm him, an ordinary person, especially not a warlord like him, that he dared to act so casually.

Otherwise, if word gets out, warlords in various regions will have to be constantly on guard against the strange people in the mountains.

"You bastard!"

Li Muxuan hadn't expected that Luo Laowai's attitude was completely different from yesterday's, and he seemed fearless, which was infuriating.
