Pagoda Immortality

The sunset glow envelopes this cliff and dangerous peak.

There are small wooden houses built around the school grounds in the huge valley at the top of the mountain.

There are two thick and tall wooden doors tightly closed at the entrance of the valley, and two towering watchtowers stand on the left and right.

Outside the wooden door, a few thick logs supported two huge fire pots, with bright firelight swaying in the pots. However, in the sunset, the light of the two pots of fire was not very conspicuous.

At this time, the guard on the right side of the watchtower suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at the corner of the huge stone at the entrance.

There, several people slowly walked out.

The guard on the right took a few glances at the visitor, then looked at the watchtower opposite and shouted: "Second Master and the others are back, ready to open the door!"

As he spoke, he put his hand on a hanging rope beside him.

The same goes for the guards on the opposite side.

The two of them grabbed the thick rope and pulled hard. Suddenly, the two thick doors below opened inwards.

Lu Li and his entourage filed in without stopping at all.

When he came inside, Lu Li looked around and found that there were no less than thirty houses on the left and right sides of the square, and directly opposite was a larger single-story main house.

On the open door, there are three characters "Tiger Hall" hanging high.

At this time, a burly middle-aged man wearing a tiger fur coat stood outside the gate of the Tiger Hall.

Seeing Lu Li and his entourage entering the camp square, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked down the square and walked towards this side.

"Brother!"

Zhao Tianlei quickened his pace and went forward to greet him.

Needless to say, the strong man in the tiger fur coat is Liu Meng, the head of the Tiger Village.

Liu Meng nodded and walked quickly towards Chen Hu with a smile on his face.

But then, his face darkened, and he shouted angrily at the escorting Tiger Village disciples: "You bastard! Who is so bold as to dare to handcuff Brother Chen! You must be impatient to live!"

The sound is like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

"Yes, it's me..."

Hearing Liu Meng's words, the little guy who tortured Hu before couldn't help his heart beating wildly and walked out timidly.

"I've rebelled against you! You even dared to torture Brother Chen. Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!" Liu Meng, the boss, became even more angry when he heard this. He slapped the boy to death.

"Brother, calm down! I handled this wrongly. If you want to kill me, just kill me!" Seeing that the slap was about to fall, Zhao Tianlei behind him hurriedly shouted and ran back to plead for mercy.

"You? Very good, then I will kill you today!" Liu Meng said, and he was going to attack Zhao Tianlei again.

At this time, Chen Hu finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly and said, "Liu Da, the acting is just fine. You really think I'm a fool."

"Haha! Since Brother Chen's plea is useless, I will spare his life for the time being." He glared at Zhao Tianlei and said, "Why don't you thank Brother Chen for saving your life!"

Zhao Tianlei hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said in panic, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for saving your life. From now on, you are my brother in Menghu Village and my brother Zhao Tianlei!"

He said and waved his hand: "Come on! Why don't you untie Brother Chen quickly!"

After the words fell, the boy from before hurriedly took out the key and took off Chen Hu's shackles.

"Are these people trying to get Chen Hu to join the gang?"

Lu Li observed everyone's performance calmly, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but have such an idea.

Chen Hu snorted coldly when he heard this: "I, Chen Hu, can't bear the word brother! What exactly do you want to do by bringing me here? Please tell me clearly!"

The boss, Liu Meng, laughed dryly and said, "No hurry, no hurry! I have already set up a banquet in the lobby. How about we chat while drinking?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Chen, please!"

Chen Hu glanced in the direction of Lu Li, then walked towards the Tiger Hall with a gloomy face.

With a slight curl of his lips, Liu Meng called to a dozen Tiger Village captains and took Lu Li and Sun Qian with him to the Tiger Hall.

The Tiger Hall is very spacious, with five tables on the left and right, and two cushions behind each table.

Entering inside, Liu Meng enthusiastically invited Chen Hu to sit at the head seat, but Chen Hu coldly refused and sat at the front seat on the right.

Lu Li and Sun Qian sat at the bottom on the right, three tables away from Chen Hu. In the middle sat the six captains of the Tiger Village. It seemed that this arrangement was intentional.

There were melons, fruits, and drinks on the table. After sitting down, Liu Meng shouted again, and then groups of attendants filed in with hot dishes and food, placing them on the table in front of everyone. It whets one's appetite.

The boss, Liu Meng, sat at the head of the table and raised his glass to invite him to drink with a smile.

Second leader Zhao Tianlei and more than a dozen captains raised their glasses in response.

But Chen Hu had a sullen face and showed no reaction at all, which made Liu Meng quite embarrassed. But when he turned his eyes, he saw Lu Li in the tail seat raised his glass and drank it all, and he couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, this little brother is so cheerful. Come on, Liu will give you another drink!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Li in surprise. They had been ignoring the sick man, but they didn't expect that this man was actually a generous person.

"Haha, thank you!"

Lu Li smiled softly, raised his glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Hu couldn't help frowning when he saw this. He couldn't figure out why Lu Li wanted to undermine him, and then he said coldly: "Master Liu, can you explain your intention now?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Meng, the leader, slowly put down his wine glass and pretended to sigh: "Hey, our life in Menghu Village has not been easy these years. We can't advance and we can't retreat."

"You said to take a step forward? Your strength is a little bit lacking again."

"You said to retreat? All the brothers have cases on their hands. If you leave here, I am afraid you will spend the rest of your life in prison."

"As the head of the family, I am really in a difficult situation..."

Seeing Chen Hu's unmoved expression, Liu Meng took another sip of the wine glass and said, "Hey! Let me tell you, brother Chen, the reason why I invited you to the mountain this time is actually to invite you to join our Menghu Village..."

"You are dreaming!"

Before Liu Meng finished speaking, Chen Hu slammed the table and stood up, "I am the deputy commander of Lutai City, how can I be in the same boat with you mountain bandits and rats!"

Hearing this, everyone in Menghu Village instantly looked very ugly.

Liu Meng also frowned, but soon his expression returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, why are you so angry? Everything has a price, and everything can be negotiated."

"Don't worry, as long as you join our Tiger Village, the position of the second in command will be yours in the future! And I can promise that in the future, the seized property and monthly salary will all be given to you..."

He winked at Zhao Tianlei, the second in command on the left.

Zhao Tianlei understood and bowed his hands and said, "As long as Brother Chen agrees, I have no complaints about being ranked third. If Brother Chen has any instructions in the future, I will obey them!"

Chen Hu looked at the two coldly, then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down, "If you ask for money, I, Chen Hu, can ask someone to bring the ransom. If you let us go down the mountain, I will not embarrass you in the future!"

Then he said decisively, "But if you want me, Chen Hu, to join the Tiger Village, that is absolutely impossible. If you insist on forcing me, please kill me!"
