After stopping and watching for a while, Qiu Yan shook his head.

"The things in the city have no connection with me, so I will do it step by step and calm the eight spirits first. Besides, the Master Yuxu will come when he will come, so he must prepare early. However, since he was invited to help the boxing this time, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Dongdu City, and I think he was also busy."

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan turned around and left, heading towards the house and temple.

But before he walked a few steps, he stopped again, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Hmm? I didn't expect that there were Darui people in the Five Swamps, who believed in me, but caused such a change! Since he was a believer, he couldn't ignore it. Besides, this was also an opportunity..."

……………………

Yuan Shoufang stood on the fence of the village, holding the bow and arrow in his hand tightly. He was extremely nervous, but he calmed down his horror. His eyes were staring outside, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

Although the night is dark, with the help of torches, you can still see the surrounding scenery.

Their village has been surrounded!

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside—

"Listen to the village, surrender quickly, destroy the statue of the evil god, and welcome the Buddha into your heart! Otherwise, there will be no chicken or dog left when you meet the forest village!"

The speaker is full of energy and uses strength to help the voice. This is a rolling sound and spread throughout the village. The men, women, young and old in the village are already trembling. Now when they hear this, many women and children immediately cry out. For a moment, the mourning clouds are everywhere, and everyone's thoughts are swaying. In a vague way, the entire village is shrouded in decadent thoughts.

"Dad, you can't hesitate! Isn't it just a change to believe in that Buddha? What's the point? Which god is not worshipping? Let's get through the difficulties in front of you first!"

Deep in the village, in a larger house, Zhang Xuezheng quarreled with others.

Opposite him, a man with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist sat. The man had pale face, blue eyes, and cloth wrapped around his body. Blood could be seen on the cloth.

This person is the leader of Fenglin Village, Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin looked sad and said, "How simple as you said? I have heard of the Buddha's affairs for a long time. Many tribes in the five swamps have converted, but this religion is very evil, and there is almost no difference between humans and beasts. What other theory is the Five Nectar, which is cast by shit and urine. We are descendants of the Celestial Empire, how can we eat shit and drink urine? We are doing wild beasts?"

"If my father doesn't agree today, the village will be destroyed, so how can I go?" Zhang Xue shook his head, then gritted his teeth, "It's all the things that Yuan Shoufang has done. After this person returned, he promoted the stove master and asked us to worship him. Now, I think about it, maybe it was because of worshiping the stove master and annoyed the Buddha, which would cause trouble!"

After hearing this, Zhang Lin sighed and waved his hand and said, "I can't blame the situation for this. Even if he doesn't come back, the swamp tribes who worship Buddha will come sooner or later. I was negligent before, thinking that this Buddha is like the five swamp gods, and it is trustworthy or not. Who knew that he forced someone to convert..."

Having said that, it was difficult to dispel Zhang Xue's anger. He couldn't help but recall the scene when Yuan Shoufang came back.

……………………

When you meet Linzhai, the village is as its name. Although it is named after Zhang Lin, it is also located in the dense forest, adjacent to Jiuling Mountain.

This village is not in Darui, but on the south side of Jiuling Mountain, located in the Wumeng Land, with strong folk customs.

Like many mountain villages, Fenglin Village people are not as keen on looting as swampers, but fishing and hunting to make a living, but sometimes they also do some business without money.

There are many monsters and beasts around Jiuling Mountain. When hunters from forests enter the forest, they also have to be frightened. Fortunately, Darui in Shannan has fewer people and the competition is not fierce. You don’t need to go too deep to gain something, but it is inevitable that someone will occasionally lose.

However, this scenario began to change a month ago.

The changes brought about are Yuan Shoufang.

Speaking of Yuan Shoufang, we have to mention his tortuous life experience.

Yuan Shoufang's father was a desperate merchant who was trolling his iron. He was discovered by the border army and convoyed, and was chased by someone. Under the protection of the guard, he fled into the forest, but encountered a small swamp. The guard died tragically and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was a little anxious and saved his life. He stumbled to Fenglin Village, and finally married into a marriage and married the daughter of a hunter.

With such a background, Yuan Shoufang has been ridiculed and discriminated against since childhood, but he is ruthless. The more others laugh at him, the more he wants to make a name for himself. He took the initiative to join the forest at a young age and soon became a little famous.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A few years ago, a caravan of Central Plains passed by, which made Yuan’s father think about it. After a few days, he left his wife and son and disappeared.

Yuan Shoufang was ordered by his mother and grandfather to go out to find his father. He left for two years and did not come back until a month ago.

After he came back this time, he immediately caused a storm in the village. His martial arts skills increased greatly, challenging the brave men in the village and knocked down one by one.

During this period, there were some provocations and counterattacks, and not long after, Yuan Shoufang challenged the number one master of Fenglinzhai’s generation—

This person is nothing else, but Zhang Lin's son, Zhang Xue.

The battle between Yuan Shoufang and the arrogant Zhang Xue, who was discriminated against, is certainly arousing imagination. If a novelist knows it, he might be able to compile tens of thousands of words.

The result of this battle was that Yuan Shoufang was better, and there was no scene of heroes sympathizing with each other. Instead, Zhang Xue regarded Yuan Shoufang as a thorn in his eyes and was picking on him everywhere.

However, after experiencing this series of challenges, Yuan Shoufang's prestige in the village increased greatly, and even had the call for the next camp leader. Especially when he was originally a low status and was unpopular, he has now made a counterattack and turned around, which is quite legendary, which has attracted the younger generation in the village to admire him.

With such prestige, Yuan Shoufang explained the origin of his own changes. It turned out that he was not looking for his father. When he came back, he went to the mountains to hunt with hunters many times in the north of the mountain. He developed his eyesight, ears and strength in the offense and defense with wild beasts.

But this statement was exchanged for Zhang Xue's sneer—

"Just! There are not only beasts in the mountains, but also monsters. Hunters dare not go deep into the mountains. At most, what skills can they learn when they hit pheasants and hares? And you said that you go into the mountains many times? There are monsters who swallow people, and it is rare to get into them once a month, but according to your statement, it is almost every three days, which is too exaggerated!"

In response, Yuan Shoufang gave this answer: "Now all villages in the north of the mountain worship the Kitchen God. They can protect health and safety. When hunters enter the forest and silently recite the Kitchen God, they will not be attacked by demons. However, fighting with wild beasts depends on their own ability. I am a strong person in the forest village and can compete with the swampmen, but the swampmen are not as good as the wild beasts in the mountains."

At first, these words were just curious, but in the next few days, fragmented news came, which made the village people eager to move. They tried to set up a clay sculpture of the stove and then tried to enter the forest, but they were not threatened by demons and were overjoyed since then.

Speaking of which, although the villagers of Fenglin Village are also descendants of the Central Plains, they have moved to the south of Jiuling Mountain for a long time and are infected with the habits of swampers. They do not use temples or ancestral halls, but like swampers, they erect a clay sculpture in the village.

This kind of life lasted for a month, and the Linzhai gained a lot. Although it also lost a lot of people, it was nothing compared to what it earned, and it was even more different from the past.

In this way, although Zhang Xue was full of hostility towards Yuan Shoufang, he could not prevent the other party from increasing his prestige. Even Zhang Xue's father Zhang Lin admired Yuan Shoufang more and more.

Who knew that disaster would fall from heaven.

Today, Zhang Lin led the villagers to the deep mountains again, but were ambushed and fought. Although Zhang Lin escaped, all the other villagers were killed.

The sneak attack suddenly came without any signs in advance. The other party was obviously prepared and lying on the path that Zhang Lin and others must pass. If Zhang Lin had not had some skills, the entire army would inevitably be wiped out. At that time, the other party returned to the army to attack the village, and the village had no leader. You can imagine the fate of the village.

Not long after Zhang Lin returned to the village, the villagers who were active outside ran back in groups of three or three, each in a mess. Many people were injured and brought news.

"There are a large swarm sweeping around. Our group of more than a dozen people, only me escaped!"

"Everything was killed! If I hadn't pretended to be dead and avoided, there wouldn't be anyone who reported the news!"

"We will come back immediately when we see that the situation is not good."

Regardless of whether these news reveals courage, fear, or timidity, after summarizing it up, a serious problem is placed before Zhang Lin—

Fenglinzhai has been surrounded and has been wiped out many living forces.

You should know that in this place of crisis, those who dare to go out during the day are mostly young and middle-aged people. Such people are the main combat power of the village. Now that they are suddenly swept away, the consequences of being killed are not just a few people, but Feng Linzhai’s force has been weakened in their eyes.

"What is the purpose of these swamp people? Why did they suddenly join hands to attack?"

After living in the slaughter forest in Shannan for so long, Fenglinzhai is not unfamiliar with the slaughter people. There is a lot of information about them. They have fought many times before, regardless of victory or defeat, and the villages survived. Although this incident was sudden, after a brief summary, Zhang Lin realized that it was not one tribe that took action, but multiple tribes joined forces.

This puzzled him. You should know that the swamps are not united with each other, and they attack each other frequently. They have even been used and provoked by Zhang Lin. However, like today, it is not common for several tribes to take joint action.

Moreover, judging from what happened, the swamperer obviously had unified command, first ambushing, then sweeping, and finally besieging. There was already a military atmosphere. From any aspect, it was never simple!

"Did they know that we are hunting a lot and want to rob it? It's not right, there are poisonous insects and beasts in the Five Swamps, and there is no shortage of me as wild fur."

Zhang Lin's doubts did not last long. When night fell, the other party finally revealed his true purpose-

Such a big formation was created to allow Feng Linzhai to convert to Buddha!

This is why Zhang Lin and Zhang Xue and his son have this quarrel. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
