Alienated Martial Arts

"Snow in June and thunder in winter are not good signs."

The team moved forward slowly, and Shang Bian approached Wei Tao with a solemn expression on his face.

"Sir, did you hear the thunder rolling through the mountains and forests just now?"

"No." Wei Tao thought carefully and shook his head, "There was thunder just now? Why didn't I hear it?"

"It's definitely thundering. If you don't believe me, go ask them."

Shang Bian sighed and poured a sip of soju into his mouth.

"What's the point of asking? If thunder strikes, it won't hit us anyway."

Wei Tao sat back on the carriage shaft with his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next moment.

"Mr. Wei, it's windy outside. If you're tired, go inside and take a rest."

The curtains opened and Qu Shang poked his head out, expressing some concern.

Before Wei Tao could refuse, she and Wei Xi got out of it.

"Mei Xie and I sat there for too long, so we just came down for a walk."

Shang Bian also said, "Sir, you have just taken action to repel the enemy. You really need to rest for a while. It's fine as long as we can watch from outside."

Wei Tao stopped refusing and got into the carriage.

He was really tired, so he leaned on the soft cushion and fell asleep.

Shang Bian pulled the reins and slowed down the car slightly.

When the carriage slowly stabilized in an open space, Wei Tao opened his eyes just in time, lifted the curtains and looked out.

Smoke from cooking stoves rose in the distance, changing into various shapes under the sunlight.

"How long have I been asleep?"

He took out the water bag and drank a few sips. He felt that he was full of energy and had no other problems except being a little hungry.

"Sir, he slept from the second half of the night to the first half of the night."

Shang Bian yawned with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Is that a village over there?" Wei Tao pointed to the direction of the smoke.

"Well, this should be Fengying Village, about two hundred and forty miles south of Cangyuan City."

Shang Bian opened the map and pointed out a location on it, "Go south from here and cross the Mingshui River. We will be outside the jurisdiction of Cangyuan City."

"Mingshui River?"

Wei Tao's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that his senior brother Tan Pan once said that the teacher and the enemy fought on the banks of the Mingshui River. I don't know if it was this river.

"Yes, Mingshui River."

Shang Bian nodded, "I heard from the sect leader before that the main trunk of Mingshui River runs from west to east, and there is another tributary on the ground of Qizhou that runs from north to south. It is a famous waterway.

Whether it is transporting grain or moving goods, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources compared to the land route. "

“As a result, a special Mingshui gang was established, and many cargo owners and boatmen along both sides of the river joined.

And as time goes by, it becomes stronger and stronger, with many masters inside, and it has become a powerful force. "

"Those who set the clear rules are located high in the temple, and those who set the hidden rules are far away from the rivers and lakes." Wei Tao thought of the Cao Gang in his previous life, and couldn't help but become more interested in the Mingshui Gang.

"The temple is high and the rivers and lakes are far away. Sir is indeed a well-educated person. I admire him very much."

Shang Bian gave it a small flattery and put away the map in his hand, "How about we stay in Fengying Village at night, so that the brothers can have a good hot meal and a sheltered house to rest."

"Then live here." Wei Tao nodded, suddenly turned around and looked at the bushes on one side.

"Friends hiding there, you can come out."

He raised his hand and did not let Shang Bian and others get closer, and walked slowly over alone.

There was a crashing sound.

Several people emerged from the depths of the bushes.

They were all women, dressed in rags, covered in filth, and exuding a strong stench.

"Sir, please, can you give us something to eat?"

A woman led the crowd behind her and kowtowed.

Her accent sounded a little weird, like a foreigner speaking in the Mandarin of Zhou Dynasty.

Not far away, Wei Yan and Qu Shang watched curiously, and were quickly protected by Qingshan Society disciples holding swords and sent back to the carriage.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, then took out a bag of dried meat and threw it in front of the woman.

Asked, "Who are you?"

She held the bag of dried meat in her arms and said, "To tell you what to tell me, my family fled here from Mozhou. We are cold and hungry when we get here, and we really have no strength."

Wei Tao nodded, and with a flick of his finger, a few more pieces of silver fell accurately into the woman's hand.

There is still a scorching temperature on it.

He looked at her quietly and said, "Take the food and money and leave."

The woman held the bag but did not leave.

He just cried in a low voice, "The slave family begged the master to be kind and take us in."

"What can you do to take you in?"

Wei Tao was noncommittal, looking past several people and towards the fading smoke in the distance.

"My slave has a restaurant at home, and can do laundry, cooking, accounting, and other chores."

He smiled slightly and said, "Can you kill someone?"

The woman raised her head in astonishment, her eyes full of surprise.

Wei Tao spoke calmly and then asked, "Dead people can always do it."

Bang!

The woman's feet exploded, causing mud and snow to splash.

She exhaled loudly and stood up.

His hands suddenly turned black, and a faint fishy smell spread out.

Click!

She couldn't stand up straight after all.

Then a big hand suddenly came down and held the top of her head.

The majestic power poured down, making a crisp sound.

The woman sat paralyzed, blood pouring out of her mouth and dripping to the ground.

boom!

Another strong wind blew up.

Before several other women could react, they were slapped one by one by Wei Tao and killed on the spot.

Crash.

Another voice came from deep in the dense bushes.

But this time it was moving away quickly.

Wei Tao made several leaps and quickly caught up.

Then there was a series of screams.

There were more than a dozen men with red eyes, rushing out from the woods on the other side, brandishing weapons and heading towards the convoy.

The disciples of the Qingshan Society fired concealed weapons wildly and drew their swords to meet him.

The battle broke out in an instant and ended in a few breaths.

The enemies who rushed out were lying dead on the ground.

Except for one of the Qingshan Club disciples who had an arm injury, the others were unscathed.

Wei Tao stood in front of the woman again.

She was so angry that she raised her head with a wry smile, "You, you are actually a master of the third level of Qi and Blood."

He didn't comment on this, just sighed and shook his head, "I gave you a chance, but you insist on seeking your own death. Why bother?"

"How did you find out that we are not ordinary people, but warriors who want to block the road and plunder..."

Wei Tao laughed and said casually, "You treat me like a fat sheep, but I think you are fools."

"There is a village not too far ahead. If you say you are starving to death, don't you know how to go in and beg for a few bowls of porridge and rice?

Also, since you were almost starving to death, I gave you dried meat, but you didn’t open the bag and eat it. Could it be that you were afraid that I would poison you? "

The woman sighed and also laughed, "You guys came so suddenly, we didn't have much time to prepare."

"Once you have figured it out, go on your way, so as not to make others wait for you for too long."

Wei Tao nodded and pointed forward with one finger.

Click!

The woman's neck was tilted back, and there was a bloody hole between her eyebrows.

Blood spurted out from his brain, and he immediately stopped breathing.

Shang Bian stepped forward and said, "Sir, we were dealing with the corpses just now and found that these people seemed a little strange."

"What's weird?"

Wei Tao asked, "Are they unable to dismember the body? Or did they grow an extra head?"

"My lord is joking. What I mean is that they are indeed refugees from Mozhou, but they don't seem to be ordinary refugees."

As Shang Bian said this, he led Wei Tao to a male corpse.

He knelt down and lifted up the clothes of one of them, revealing the tattoo on his chest.

Wei Tao was a little unimpressed at first.

But the moment he saw the tattoo, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and immediately squatted next to Shang Bian, getting closer to take a closer look.

Uh-huh!

The sword flashed continuously.

Soon all the other people's clothes were taken off, and everyone had identical tattoos on their chests.

That's an eye.

To be precise, it is a vertical pupil.

There are also many straight lines radiating from the vertical pupil, which expresses a very clear meaning. It should be that the eyes are emitting light outward.

"The Luocha tribe is actually a Luocha tribe!"

Wei Tao immediately stood up, quickly came to the woman's side, and cut open the cotton-padded clothes she was wearing with a knife.

This time, he didn't see the vertical pupil tattoo, but a completely different kind of tattoo.

It looks like a dragon or a python.

Coiled below her navel, it was green-gray in color and ferocious and majestic.

Shang Bian looked at the tattoo pattern curiously, but even more curious about why his boss was so depressed.

Wei Tao was silent for a long time and sighed involuntarily.

“I was always worried about how to find them.

As a result, the sky has eyes and they came forward on their own initiative, but I beat them all to death.

Not even a single person could be left alive. "
