Chapter 461 Weird Mountain People
The convoy was not far away, and it was raining. Because it was raining in the mountains, it was different from the ordinary plum rain, which was relatively heavy.
When walking in the mountains, it is a headache to encounter heavy rain, because mountain torrents are unreasonable. You don’t think the rain seems to be very heavy, but the rain area is large and the total amount of water is not small. If you gather a few lines and rush down, it will still be terrible.
The veteran drivers were unmoved and rushed as usual, but they also made requests, hoping that those who explored the way could go a little further.
Due to cost issues, long-distance carriages are generally not equipped with people who explore the way, but since there are people who explore the way, they can increase safety, why not use it?
Li Yongsheng volunteered to explore the way. Originally, he was just a trainee and asked the instructors to explore the way. It was not appropriate.
But Gu Suifeng looked at the two Taoist nuns around him and decisively rejected his request, "Just like you and the Taoist priests protect your juniors, you don't have to worry about the way to explore."
If you go to explore the way, the two of you will definitely follow you. It would be better to stay here to deal with the accident.
Li Yongsheng didn't care about this, he was just a little worried. He hoped that the teachers would be more sensible. After all, there would be water accumulation on the mountain roads, and mud and stones might fall on it.
At the end of Shen, the rain was a little lighter, but the instructor who was exploring the way forward ran towards him, shouting loudly, "The mountain road ahead... is broken, almost five feet wide, and seems to have been dug up!"
"Digging?" Everyone frowned.
Gu Suifeng sneered, "Five feet wide? Is there someone renting wooden boards?"
Although he has a bad temper and his IQ is not low, this mountain road is not too wide, but it is also a major road in Sanxiang County. Digging such a road will have a great impact. I don’t know how many passing vehicles will be blocked.
Doing such a taboo thing can only be a profit, and you don’t dare to really block traffic.
If you really dare to block traffic and deal with them, it will not be the turn of Bo’s office to take action.
It is the king to rent a wooden board seriously. I thought that such a ditch would be impossible to be harder, and the wheels would be stuck, and filling the ditch would take too much time. I just rented two wooden boards to go there.
This was originally a way to make money in some remote and poor mountains. Gu Zhiyu heard from others.
"Someone said that they were renting wooden boards," the road-exploring teacher wiped the rainwater from his face. The preparation and repair could support the rainproof air shield, but it was too tired. It was nothing to wear a straw raincoat, and it was real to leave some strength to deal with the accident.
Another teacher smiled bitterly, "This blackmail seems a bit troublesome."
"Go and have a look together," said Gu Zhiyu, and waved his hands at the coachmen, "Go forward."
As we walked forward, a five-foot-wide ditch appeared in front of everyone. There were cliffs on one side of the mountain road and steep ditch on the other. If we wanted to fill this ditch, it would not be possible in a short while - if the earth was filled in, it would slide down the slope.
In fact, it is not easy to make wooden boards that cross the ditch, and there are many trees around it, but at most they are trees with thick calves. It is very troublesome to operate if a large cart pulled by four horses passes the ditch.
Gu Suifeng looked at the terrain and knew that he had to accept this blackmail. He glanced around and said, "Where is the person who said he wanted to rent the wooden board?"
When the teacher who explored the way heard this, he also glanced around and said, "Yes, where are the people?"
The object he had just discussed was a guy wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat. He claimed to be a nearby mountaineering man and said he could provide wooden boards. But he thought that there would be no one in the blink of an eye?
However, Zhang Muzi turned over and got off the horse, went to the broken road and found that the shallowest part was about meter deep. "It's all stones, how much effort does it take to dig a broken road?"
"It's much faster to use Taoism," Li Yongsheng replied with a smile, then glanced at Gu Suifeng.
Our restaurant was built with Taoist techniques at the beginning, which was extremely fast, but Mr. Gu seemed to have not considered this?
Gu Suifeng did not consider this. Although he could quickly transport the earth, he still couldn't do anything to fill the road. After thinking about it, he still made a decision, "cut down trees and build bridges."
At this moment, voices came from behind. Everyone turned their heads and saw that there were more than a dozen ragged mountain people coming slowly behind them, holding swords, guns, and sticks.
"What are you going to do?" A teacher shouted. He was a high-level cultivator. "Stop it!"
"You can only live with it after paying the money," a thin mountain man walked over with a wooden stick in his hand.
This teacher was so angry that he was half-dead. Such an open-minded war was just to steal money, right?
"Be careful, Xiao Wang!" Gu Suifeng shouted, and then asked again, "How do you calculate the money?"
"One person has a silver dollar," the thin mountain girl grinned and raised her hand to wipe the rain on her face.
It was directly upgraded to silver dollars. The teacher Wang was furious when he heard this, "Do you want to die?"
"Be careful!" Gu Suifeng shouted again, "He is Si Xiu!"
Si Xiu? Wang Zhiyu was stunned. Before he could react, his body was subjected to a great force and flew directly to the cliff, hitting heavily on the cliff, opening his mouth and spewing out a mouthful of blood.
"Boy, you are so brave!" Gu Suifeng shouted fiercely, snatched the teacher from front of him, checked it, and found that he was only shocked and was relieved, and glared at the other party, "Don't you feel embarrassed when you suppress your cultivation and robbery?"
"It's not embarrassing, I have to support my family," the thin mountain girl grinned, "I'm collecting tolls, not robbing."
The aura of the mid-level Si Xiu faintly appeared on his body. No wonder Mr. Gu did not rush up to attack immediately.
"Pai" sound, Li Yongsheng clapped his hands and walked over. He looked at the thin man with a smile, "It's a good thing to be self-reliant, but the toll is a bit too much, why?"
"Just because of me, Si Xiu," the little man slapped his chest, spoke proudly, and then raised his hand and pointed to the back, "and me, brother."
Because it was still raining in the sky, I couldn't see clearly when I got far away. When the crowd approached, everyone was shocked to find that there were actually six or seven sects inside.
Gu Suifeng was completely stunned. He gathered all his strength to fight with the other party, but he would inevitably hurt other cultivators during the battle.
Moreover, no matter how stupid he was, he could see at this time that the other party could not be a mountain citizen. There were so many scholars hidden in the mountains, so he definitely had articles, and at least he was a habitual bandit for years.
But he still couldn't understand. With the strength of the other party, how could he target this small convoy? He couldn't ask, "What do you want to do?"
"We just want to charge tolls," the little man smiled slightly, "We won't bother if we give tolls."
Li Yongsheng suddenly spoke out, "Then I'm giving the toll, are you responsible for filling the ditch?"
"It's impossible to fill the ditch, this is a way of wealth," the little man wiped the rain on his face again, "but we can rent wooden boards for you to pass a car and spend a ounce of gold."
"We won't pay this money," several veteran drivers called out. They were just friends from the car dealership, not the boss, so how could they afford this money? "We couldn't agree on it and had to turn around and go back."
Turning around and going back is just a threat. When the vehicles here get more and more congestion, I don’t believe that these people dare to offer such a price.
But it's already late and it's raining again, so it's only one of them who is blocked at the moment.
Gu Suifeng had no choice. After thinking about it, he asked with a slight face, "What if we don't give the money?"
"What did you say?" the little man took a step forward and said with a smile, "I have bad ears. If you have any, please repeat it?"
Li Yongsheng snorted coldly, "Confirm, do you say your ears are not good?"
"It's not your three's business," the little man looked at him and said lightly, "We can't afford to offend the Dao Palace, but the Dao Palace should not ruin our jobs."
Du Jingjing snorted coldly. She originally didn't want to interrupt, but the other party actually said such words, which made her unable to bear it. "Let's send your life for now and call on those who can make decisions."
"Don't interfere," the little man said with a smile, "Brothers, set up a formation and let the masters of the Taoist Palace take a look!"
The people behind him had already set up their formation and pressed them up after hearing this. Although there were only a dozen ragged people, they had a murderous army of thousands of horses.
Could it be that you only have the formation? Gu Suifeng was furious when he saw this and was about to call the teachers to set up the formation. Then he was stunned. He saw the other party's formation, which were two three-talent killing formations and one four-syllable formation.
He gasped, "You... are you soldiers?"
Du Jingjing's face was also a little ugly. If she was a soldier, she wouldn't take action without permission.
"We are not soldiers, just make a living," replied the little man, "just say, do you give me tolls?"
"I'll pay the toll," Li Yongsheng said. He raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a few golden leaves. "This is five taels of gold... take out the wooden board!"
When he did these, he did not hide the storage bag around him. He had reached the level of Si Xiu's cultivation, so he would no longer hide the storage bag. As for someone who dared not open his eyes and did it, he didn't mind letting the other party understand what it means to be self-reliant.
Sure enough, the little man stared at his waist and shouted in surprise, "Storage bag!"
Li Yongsheng smiled at him, "How is this style? Is it good-looking?"
"Dignified and elegant, it looks very high-end at first glance," the little man gave a thumbs up, and then looked at Du Jingjing with disdain, "This storage bag is a bit vulgar, what kind of gold edge is it inlaid with."
"You are looking for death!" Deacon Du ran away in an instant. Without saying a word, he pulled out his long sword and slashed it down.
She took action with hatred, and the momentum and power were imagined. The little man was stunned, but the four people behind him moved together, and the weapons in his hand were strangely pointed at them, and a long spear transformed out of thin air, blocking the sword hard.
The Four Symbols Return to the Formation, this is a real killing and attacking military formation! It is not the elite in the military that cannot be mastered.
