This was the tragedy of history.
Along the way, Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu saw people and carriages fighting to escape to the south. Along the way, they called out for their children and mothers, crying loudly. The road was littered with clothes, furniture, utensils, and shoes that had been thrown away. There was everything. It was obvious how chaotic the situation was.
Along the way, they saw only refugees and bandits. As for the soldiers, they were the bandits among the bandits. The bandits were only forced to rob money and dry food, and what the soldiers did was even more outrageous than the bandits. Rape, plunder, murder, arson, all kinds of evil. Xu Aotian only gave a few warnings to the bandits who did not commit any major crimes and then let them go. As long as they encountered any major criminals, Xu Aotian would kill them without mercy. However, Fang Ziyu had never made a move. He had been watching Xu Aotian's rage and killing with great interest. However, what gave Fang Ziyu the biggest headache was Xu Aotian's overflowing sympathy. Whenever he met a poor refugee, Xu Aotian would take out his own dry rations without saying anything, and even "borrow" all the money Fang Ziyu had on him. Unfortunately, there were too many monks to go around. Looking at most of the refugees, Xu Aotian could only sigh helplessly.
On this day, Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu walked out of the forest.
"Brother, are you hungry?" Fang Ziyu asked.”
"No." Xu Aotian shook his head. However, his disappointing stomach betrayed him at this moment. Touching his belly, Xu Aotian scratched his head awkwardly and said,""You're still the best. You don't even need to eat.”
"It's a pity that we couldn't find any wild animals after searching for so long." Fang Ziyu smiled.”
Xu Aotian shook his head and sighed." Sigh, the war has been going on for a long time. A large number of trees have been cut down to be used as siege weapons. It's so hard to even find a wild beast now."”
Fang Ziyu remained silent. After a long while, he said,"If you continue like this, you won't even have enough food to eat.”
"I can't help it," Xu Aotian smiled bitterly."I can't help it when I see those poor refugees.”
"It's not a good idea to continue like this. After all, you can only help one or two people, but you can't help everyone." Fang Ziyu sighed.”
Xu Aotian squatted down and held his head in distress."I know this isn't a good idea, but I really can't think of a good idea.”
At this moment, Xu Aotian's eyes flashed with a bright light. He suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice,"Did you hear that?"
Fang Ziyu pointed to the right and said,"It's in the west."”
Xu Aotian ran west without a word. Fang Ziyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that Xu Aotian's overflowing love was coming again. He followed behind Xu Aotian helplessly. The two of them quickly disappeared into the forest.
After running for nearly a moment, the sky ahead was filled with flames, and there were faint shouts of killing. The two of them quickened their pace.
Soon, they arrived at a small village. They saw a group of about a hundred cavalry. One look at their uniform, which was somewhat tattered, and they knew that they must be soldiers who had lost a battle.
At this time, the soldiers had already driven out more than a hundred men, women, and children from the village. They had also arranged the men and women in the village into two groups and surrounded them to prevent anyone from escaping. At that moment, they called out for their children and mother, and their cries shook the sky. The two of them could not bear to watch.
Xu Aotian was furious. Just as he was about to rush out, Fang Ziyu pressed down on his shoulder.
Xu Aotian was confused. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise behind him. He immediately understood Fang Ziyu's intention and kept quiet. Soon, a few soldiers dashed out from behind the two of them, holding their broken spears and swords firmly against their backs. One of them shouted,"There are two young Taoist priests here."
Under the "threat" of the sword, Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu were pushed to the village and stood there like able-bodied men.
Xu Aotian turned to look at Fang Ziyu. Seeing Fang Ziyu shake his head, he did not say anything else.
At this time, one of the soldiers, who seemed to be the leader of the soldiers, rode to the crowd of village men under the protection of four personal guards. He picked out the strong men, including Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu, and drove them to the side. Someone else tied them up with ropes, making them look like they were unruly. When the mothers and wives saw their sons and husbands being dragged away to be servants, they let out waves of unbearable wails and sorrows.
However, those so-called soldiers all had fierce expressions and did not have the slightest compassion. When they met with resistance, they immediately whipped them violently, beating them half to death.
Xu Aotian was furious, but Fang Ziyu suppressed his anger. He really did not understand what Fang Ziyu was thinking.
After the general finished picking the men, he suddenly stopped his horse when he passed by the women and children. He pointed his whip at one of the village girls and shouted,"Come out!"
The villagers were in a riot, but the soldiers quickly stopped them. Of course, there were a few injured people who fell to the ground.
The village girl was dragged out. She was indeed beautiful. Although she was not a devastatingly beautiful woman, she was still a national beauty and had a voluptuous figure. No wonder the commander was tempted.
As the commander laughed lewdly, a young soldier beside him said coldly,"Boss Chen, the higher-ups have ordered that women are not allowed to be raped.”
This person was full of justice and dared to offend his superiors. The two of them did not expect such a person to be among the soldiers. Xu Aotian was amazed.
Boss Chen snorted coldly." Li Feng, mind your own business. Am I raping women now?" I want to bring this beauty home and officially marry her as my wife, ha! Upstairs? The higher-ups are minding their own business now. Do they still have the mood to care about me?”
Li Feng glared at him and was about to speak when an old man in his seventies staggered forward and begged," Sir, only me and my granddaughter are left in our family. Please have mercy on us…"
"Shut up!" The general slapped the old man, causing him to fall to the ground and spit out a few bloody teeth.
"Grandpa!" The village girl screamed miserably, but she was tightly held by the soldiers and could not move.
"Old man, don't worry. I'll take good care of your granddaughter. You can go on your way in peace."”As he spoke, he gave a signal with his eyes, and a soldier drew his saber and stepped forward.
"Stop!" Li Feng shouted and went forward to attack.
"Li Feng, you dare to rebel!" The commander shouted angrily.”
Li Feng laughed coldly." So what if I rebel against you? You raped a woman and should be punished!" Brothers, if you still have guts, stand up and plead for the people with me!”
The soldiers looked at each other. Soon, twenty people walked out and stood side by side with Li Feng in front of the villagers.
The commander pointed at Li Feng and said angrily,""You guys…Good, good! Kill these rebels!"
A bloody battle was inevitable. There was no suspense in the battle between nearly a hundred people and twenty people.
Fang Ziyu lightly patted Xu Aotian's shoulder. Xu Aotian understood his intention and immediately shouted. He activated his Qi and broke the ropes around his body.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Xu Aotian pounced into the 'flock of sheep' like a wolf.
By the time Li Feng and the others came back to their senses, Xu Aotian had already slaughtered all the soldiers. Only a few of them had already escaped.
Li Feng's expression was gloomy and uncertain. In the end, he braced himself and cupped his hands."Thank you for your help, young warrior.”
Xu Aotian waved his hand and smiled.”
"What's your name, warrior?" Li Feng asked again.”
"Xu Aotian." As if he didn't want to be bothered by the crowd, Xu Aotian waved at Fang Ziyu and turned to leave.
"Brother Xu, please wait!"
"Is there anything else?" Xu Aotian turned around and asked.”
"Brother Xu, can you help these poor people?" Li Feng sighed.”
"Didn't I already help?" Xu Aotian asked.”
Li Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly." Brother Xu, the soldiers that you just let go will definitely go back and report. I guess it won't be long before a group of people will come and encircle us. At that time, with just a few of us martial artists, I'm afraid…"
Xu Aotian scratched his head and said,"It's not a problem for us to stay."”Seeing Li Feng's happy expression, he continued,"But the two of us are not immortals. I'm afraid we can't deal with many people.”
Li Feng pointed to the front and said," There is a mountain bank in front of us. There is a dangerous terrain in the Line of Sky. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack." As long as the two little brothers can help us defend, it will be fine.”
Xu Aotian turned around and saw that Fang Ziyu was silent. He nodded and said,"Alright then!"
Li Feng was overjoyed. He turned around and called out,"Is the village chief among you?"”
A white-haired old man stepped forward and said,"I am Village Chief."
"You'll die if you stay. Why don't you follow us?" Li Feng nodded.”
The village chief nodded and turned around to call out,"Did you hear what the two warriors said? If you want to live, quickly go back and pack up and escape with the few strong men. Otherwise, stay behind.”
The soldiers with Li Feng came forward to untie the ropes for the villagers one by one. For a time, the village was in chaos, and people went home to pack up. Soon, everyone gathered at the village entrance, no one left.
"Brother Xu…" Li Feng said.
"Let's go." Xu Aotian nodded.”
The group of people dragged their children and set off towards One-Line-Sky.
Xu Aotian turned around and looked at the village that was already in flames. He sighed and said,"This is war."
