Xianyang town is located in the east of the imperial city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The town was as peaceful as ever, but today a strong man broke the peace and fainted in the street.

When the strong man woke up, he found himself lying on an old wooden bed.

An old woman is weaving not far away.

"Where is this?"

When the old woman saw the strong man wake up, she stopped her action and showed a kind smile.

"Where are you from, young man? How could you faint on the road? "

Where do you come from?

The strong man was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, thought about it, and said with a simple smile: "I came from a far, far place. It seems that I've been on the road recently and I've been hungry and dizzy."

With that, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.

The old woman couldn't help laughing. She stooped from her chair, pulled the rope from the beam, and a basket fell down.

The old woman took out two steamed buns and handed them to the strong man. However, it seemed that she bumped into something and was about to fall to the ground. The strong man appeared in front of the old woman and helped her up.

The old woman rubbed her waist and said, "no, no, I'm old. It's not a good way to walk. We don't have much left. You can make do with the two steamed buns left. "

Strong man smell speech, just want to shake his head, stomach is grunt ring up.

This time, the old woman gave the steamed bun to the strong man.

Then he turned back to weaving, "you don't know, young man. Now bandits are rampant here. It's good to have something to eat. My life is not worth money. Maybe I'll leave at any time. You're not hungry."

Strong man Leng for a while, do not know why the bottom of my heart suddenly feel a pain.

"Where is this, Granny?"

"Here?"

The old woman stopped for a moment, and a trace of memory flashed in her eyes.

"It's called Xianyang Town, a hundred miles east of the imperial city."

"How long is it from Penglai?"

Penglai?

The old woman turned to look at the strong man and asked, "young man, where are you going and what are you doing?"

The strong man put a mouthful of steamed bun into his mouth and said vaguely, "Master said, I want to go to Penglai and get something."

Hearing the strong man's words, the old woman waved her hand with a smile.

"No, it's all gone. Some people used to say that when they went to Penglai to look for opportunities, there were countless practitioners passing by Xianyang Town, but none of them came back. Later, a ragged and delirious man came back and said that Penglai was full of demons and ghosts. It was not a blessed place at all. As soon as he finished, the man died. "

"So."

The strong man seems to have nothing to do. After eating one of his hands, he begins to eat the second one.

"Yes, no one has been to Penglai since then. Now Xianyang town is no longer what it used to be. "

"Ah? Why does mother-in-law say that? "

The old woman stopped her movements, and a sad color flashed across her face.

"It used to be a prosperous place for trade and trade. Later, a group of bandits came. At first, they didn't care. After all, the government was there, but we didn't expect that the next day when we woke up, the front door of the government was soaked with blood. Dozens of people all over the Yamen were killed. "

The action of the strong man also stopped.

"The bandit did it?"

The old woman nodded.

"Then why don't you get somebody to tell you?"

"It's not that I didn't think about it. I asked someone to report it. As a result, the people who went out never came back. Later, we discussed to find a practitioner to help us, but we didn't expect that the practitioner would be amputated the next day and put up at the entrance of the town. "

At this point, the old woman could not help shivering.

The strong man put down his steamed bread and patted the old woman on the back, which calmed her down.

"At first, the gang committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting. All the young women and strong men in the town were taken away, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people like us. Later, people were sent to the town every few days to search for food. "

At this point, the old woman was crying.

The strong man looked at the old woman and the steamed bread in his hand, and swallowed it in his stomach.

"Don't worry, old lady. I'll help you solve them. As a reward, when I come back, you can tell me the direction of Penglai. "

Hearing the strong man's words, the old woman was in a panic, and quickly advised: "young man, never! You don't know, they are not ordinary bandits. They are all murderous practitioners. They are very powerful. You'd better finish your steamed bread and leave here! "

The strong man was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

In front of the door came beating and impatient roaring, "old man, don't hurry out and take out the month's offering, otherwise I don't mind carrying your head to see the boss.""That's to say, when I'm old, I should have been in the underground for a long time. I'm still living to waste food."

Hearing the sound outside the door, the old woman instinctively stepped back and was about to fall to the ground. The strong man reached out again and helped her up.

Then he was about to walk towards the door, but the old woman grabbed him desperately and didn't let him go out.

"Don't go out, young man! Live, live is the most important thing

The strong man touched his head with a smile, and then nodded. The old woman was about to get up and look for the tribute. Suddenly she found that the strong man was gone, and there was a scream from outside her home.

The old woman, with a look of panic, rushed out of the door.

I saw that the strong man had a dead body under his feet, holding another man's neck in his hand, struggling in pain.

See the old woman came out, the strong man's face showed a simple and honest smile.

"Granny, you saved my life and gave me food. Boy, I really have nothing to offer to repay you. Today I'll help you get rid of these bandits. "

"Young man, wanwan..."

Before the old woman finished speaking, the strong man had cut off the man's life.

The bandits who were searching around also heard the screams of their companions and quickly gathered in the direction of the strong man.

Dozens of people and horses blocked the two entrances of the street.

The strong man turned his head and looked around. He split his mouth and laughed. He threw his body aside.

"Kill

When dozens of people saw this scene, they also felt that they had been provoked. When did anyone dare to challenge their dignity.

The strong man clenched his fist, and there was a crackling sound.

With dozens of people shouting and killing, a strong man yelled and stood on countless corpses.

The old woman was paralyzed in fear.

The strong man came over with a smile on his face. "Old woman, you don't have to be afraid. After today, Xianyang town is still Xianyang town before."

As he spoke, the strong man grabbed the only living thing he had left among the many corpses and walked towards the distance.

"Old lady, when I come back, remember to tell me the direction of Penglai."

The old woman looked at the body in front of her and fell to the ground, then two lines of turbid tears fell from her eyes.

Then he began to wail.

The strong man walked in front, with a gloomy face. He held the man in his hand and begged for mercy. The strong man ignored him.

"Er Niu, when you go down the mountain, you will help if you are good and get rid of if you are evil. We who practice Taoism build a kind of smoke and fire. "

Er Niu stopped, looked up at the tall village in front of him, and laughed.

Elder martial brother, er Niu understand!
