Farmer laughed. "You were a public or private man when you fought against the people you knew." We must understand each other. I have much in common with that. He is worried about the country and the people, so he will be worried about the people. Fellow Daoists are always seeking personal enjoyment and seeing how insignificant it is. I do not wish to be a frog at the bottom of a well like you, my friend. Without a strong and prosperous country and a stable living environment, how can one be happy and happy? Sometimes you may be happy in the national crisis for a while, but that's because the disaster hasn't affected you yet. I wonder how you think I am?
Hearing this, Jin Ling Zi's face reddened and he shook his head with a sigh, "Ai! What a different path. It was completely unrelated to each other. "I still thought that the outsider should be supporting the zither and chess, stuffing away the pine Yin, and wholeheartedly meditating."
At this time, Jin Ling Zi came in and said: "Just now, Jin Ling Zi said that she wanted to live a happy life for the rest of her life. "Don't think that we'll be in trouble so soon." Everyone was stunned. Jin Ling Zi hastily asked, "What kind of disaster?" "Listen carefully," he said. Everyone held their breath as they listened carefully. There was a faint sound of gunfire coming from outside.
Jin Ling Zi anxiously asked, "Why is there a gunshot?" "What's going on?" An Ran said: "What are you panicking for? "It's better to live a happy life!"
Jin Ling Zi was tongue-tied and anxious. A Daoist man ran in and reported, "Abbot: This is bad! The soldiers had come all the way up the mountain. They have spread out the encirclement and surrounded our temple and the village of a lamp. There were constant shouts of battle from the mountains, and the soldiers had caught fire with a lantern. From the sound of it, the man with the lamp seemed to be on the run for his life. The shouting is getting closer. "
Everyone listened to the sounds of gunfire and shouts of battle outside. Indeed, it was getting louder and louder. A few monks and Taoists came back in a panic and reported, "Abbot: The soldiers have begun to shrink and encircle them. A lamp is approaching our temple. They're going to get into the yard to fight against the soldiers. " He then said, "Don't panic. Close the gate tightly. The temple guards and the young Taoist blocked the four sides of the wall, preventing the bandits from entering. Those who force their way in will be caught and handed over to the soldiers. The rest of the personnel will go into the cave and hide. "
The monks and Taoists immediately got busy. They carried the rough wood and blocked the entrance of the mountain. Then, each of them held a staff in their hand as they pulled apart the distance between them to protect the surroundings. The courtyard was in a state of panic.
It turned out that the flying horse had reported for gold after the young Daoist had made a profit on the group of cavalrymen. At this time, Ji JIngjing was waiting in the Chicken Chicken Restaurant with a thousand miles of broiled meat. He listened to the report and said, "One of the lanterns ate a bear's heart and swallowed a leopard's gall bladder. In our territory, we have occupied the calligraphy, set up a light stronghold, and put up a flag to recruit troops to fight against the twenty-eight divisions. I was trying to get rid of him. I must plunder his mountain stronghold, take back three women, and shoot him! Let's see which gang would dare to be so arrogant in the future! " Thus, he sent Mi Zhenbiao back to the garrison's main camp to redeploy his troops, preparing to raid the stronghold at night and capture a lamp.
Soon after the sky turned dark, over a thousand people from the army quietly surrounded the Brushwork Mountain Bright Stronghold. There was also an ambush at the northern crossroads, ready to capture a lamp. At this time, the soldiers were attacking the four small strongholds surrounding the bright stronghold. As expected, the bandit's combat strength was poor. As soon as the officer's gun sounded and the sound of fighting rang out, he scared them all into a panic. Someone shouted, "The soldiers are here! Run! " They did not care about the number of soldiers, they all fled towards the stronghold. Only a few of the bandits, cursing and firing at the soldiers to resist. The bandits that were close to the temple did not flee from the stronghold, but instead ran towards the temple. They were going to hide in the temple to fight against the soldiers. From the very beginning, the bandits were thrown into disarray. A lamp had personally led his four pillars, eight pillars, and the like to organize a resistance against the officers and soldiers. The bandits ran about, and one of the lanterns said angrily, "Don't mess around! There were only a hundred and eighty soldiers. We have over a thousand people, and we're still afraid of them! Take all the passes and stop the soldiers. Reward for meritorious service! "You can pick any girl with money you want." The bandit who was running over shouted, "Bad news, Great Stronghold Chief! There are so many people that we can't hold on to the stronghold anymore. " A lamp was infuriated, killing the bandit with a single shot and shouting, "Don't run around! Run around and shoot! " Seeing that he was no longer able to stop his fear, a lamp was still giving orders for him to fight back.
When Fa Ming heard the fierce fighting outside, he became restless. He was very afraid that he and the little Daoist would be caught. He said to Ruan Ran, "Since both sides have fought up to this point, it is inevitable that both sides will perish together. It wasn't that Farmer was afraid of dodging with a blade. The little Daoist is the only successor of the Buddha of Longevity. I led him down the mountain. Now that this place is in danger, I have to take him away. " He then said, "Fellow Taoist is right." It's hard for me here. Before they get here, you guys better hurry up and leave. "
The two of them woke the little cultivator up, dressed him properly, and went outside. The sounds of fighting were getting more intense. Only to hear: "Kill! Don't let the bandit leader get away! A lamp cannot escape! " At this time, the soldiers attacked the small stronghold, exterminating a few bandits and started to attack the stronghold again. The soldiers were charging towards the stronghold in three sides.
He sent the little Taoist to the north wall and said, "Take care of yourself all the way! "Hurry up and leave!" Farmer also said, "Fellow Taoist take care", and the young Taoist jumped over the wall out of the courtyard. He looked out at the environment and said, "The north is quiet, there must be an ambush. We'll hide to the east. " The two of them quickly entered the eastern forest and saw a narrow path. Walking along the way, his eyes lit up as he walked out of the forest once more. The little Daoist pointed and said, "Master, look." When he looked over, he saw a crowd of soldiers approaching with guns in their hands. The two hurriedly went back into the forest to hide. The little Daoist did not care about the thorny bushes. He had nowhere to go, so he pulled at the vines and quickly walked away. Unexpectedly, the noise was too loud, and it alerted the soldiers who were lying in ambush in the forest. The soldiers thought the bandits had escaped and shouted for them to capture them.
Just as the two were walking away, they heard someone shout out in fright, "Where are you running to!?" Surrender! We've been waiting for you for a long time. " The little Daoist stopped in shock and said, "Master, it's bad! "Capture us." "You have done a great deal of harm," he said. We may not be able to escape. " The branches made a noise, and from all four directions, he said, "You are surrounded! Quick, come out and surrender! " The little Daoist panicked and took a step forward before falling off the cliff. Farmer hurried down to save him. The little Daoist fell not too hard, so he got up and touched an aged black bear hole. He slipped in and lightly called out, "Master, there's a hole here." When Farmer looked over, he saw that the hole was close enough to the stone wall to let a person in. He got in too. The two of them were in the cave, listening to the distant sounds outside.
When the soldiers reached the cave, they all laughed. Someone said, "No wonder we never come out. "So it's a wild wolf drilling hole." All the soldiers went to ambush him again.
At this time, the stronghold was also broken up by the soldiers, and most of the bandits became prisoners. Only a few bandits rushed back to the temple. The soldiers chased relentlessly, shouting as they chased: "Hand in your guns and don't kill! Surrender! You won't be able to escape! " The bandits were able to turn around and fight back, but at this moment, they could only flee in panic. Those who ran quickly climbed the wall under the fence were about to enter the courtyard. Like the first group of people who came from the small village, he was beaten out of the wall by the monks' sticks. Some of the bandits were knocked over the wall and turned around. Some of them were in pain and angry and anxious as they shouted, "Bald ass!" In the past, you got along well with us, but today, you are communicating with the soldiers! We won't forgive you! We will burn down your temples and kill you. "Just you wait!" Just as he was cursing, the bandits that had just run over continued to enter. Just as he climbed up the wall, he was hit on the head by the monk inside, causing his head to spin and fall off the wall. Some of the bandits were tricky and shouted, "You all just stand there and watch, not enough friends! Give us mercy and let us in! We have the money to give it to you! " The monk shouted, "Gangsters! Don't even think about entering the courtyard! Don't implicate us! Unrighteous wealth, we do not need it! " As a result, the bandits panicked and continued to climb the walls and fight inside. Some of the bandits saw that they could not get into the courtyard, so they fled towards the north. The soldier that was ambushed shouted, "Hand over your weapon and don't kill! Quickly surrender! " He was captured alive. When one of the bandits saw that there was an ambush ahead of him, he quickly ran away. The officer behind him shouted, "Gangster!" Where do you think you're going?! " They caught him alive.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers had encircled them, placing sixty to seventy bandits in one spot. The officers and soldiers had fierce firepower, and the bandits stubbornly tried to put up a resistance. Before long, the bandits had suffered heavy casualties. The robbers couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Sir officer! Stop fighting! We surrender! " One by one, they threw away the large spears in their hands. Seeing that they really did not dare to resist, Jin Quan gave the order: "Stop shooting! and take all the prisoners into the yard. " The soldiers came forward to stop the bandits, and said in fright, "This is our officer's justice, we will spare you." In a little while, you'll all be shot. Get up! "Gather in the courtyard!"
Jin Cheng came to the mountain gate, reported his name to the inside, and called the mountain gate open. All the bandits were taken into the yard. He and Jin Ling Zi led the monks and Taoists to meet with Jin Zhen. And he said, "When you shot, we took precautions. The monks each held a staff and waited in the courtyard, so that none of the bandits could enter the courtyard. Those who forced themselves to climb the wall were all sent back! "Jin Zhen said," You did well! "Thank you for helping us out!" The Jin Ling Zi said politely, "Sir, there's no need to be so polite. This Penniless Priest should help to exterminate him. As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, the bandits couldn't withstand a single blow. Congratulations on your victory! "
He ordered the prisoners to search for a lamp. After some investigation by several officers, they had captured more than four hundred bandits, not a single lamp among them. After hearing the report, Ji Jin said, "I set it up so meticulously that he couldn't possibly have run away. "Search again." The military officers continued to question the bandits as they searched through the crowd, but there was still no light from the bandit leader. The pure gold was revealed to the people, the golden spirit and the monks. As a result, there were none among the crowd. After collecting money and analyzing the whereabouts of the bandit's leader, three women were taken into custody by the officials and soldiers of the search mountain stronghold. An officer reported, "Sir, three women have been apprehended. We caught them hiding in a pile of firewood. "
Jin Zhen was overjoyed to hear the report. He took the lantern from the soldier and walked up to take a look. He saw that the three women were all dressed extravagantly, with oily hair and rosy cheeks, and had frightened expressions. They all had quite a beauty, all of them around the age of twenty. Then he ordered the search for a lamp.
The soldiers then continued to search the mountain until daybreak, catching a few injured bandits and capturing them. Still no light. Several officers interrogated the leader of the wounded bandits, one of whom was a personal follower of a lantern. "It's not that easy to capture our marshal," he said. At this point, he had already escaped at least thirty to forty miles away. I was protecting him and you guys hurt me. I am a good man, I can be killed but not humiliated. No need to ask about anything else. " No matter what he asked, he wouldn't say a word. "The officer reported his confession to Jin Zhen, who gnashed his teeth in anger." "What a bargain!
