Horse Bandit Mountain was originally named Qin Huai Mountain.
It once had a good reputation as the top scholar's ridge.
The mountain range stretched for hundreds of miles and was the dividing line between the Lin An Province and the Beiling Province. It also divided the Great Qian Dynasty into the south and the north.
Because this was the only way for southern scholars to enter the capital for the examination, it was entrusted with a beautiful vision and was called the Champion Ridge.
Unfortunately.
After the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty became old and muddle-headed, the court was in chaos and corrupt officials ran amok. The people of the world had long been in dire straits. Not only did demons and devils appear, but bandits and robbers also appeared.
Among them, Mount Qin Huai became the most heavily affected area.
The south was rich in resources, while the north had many dignitaries and nobles. They exchanged what they needed, so there were naturally countless vendors coming and going.
Mount Qinhuai was a place that caravans had to pass through when traveling from the north to the south, so more and more bandits had gathered.
After some time.
There were more bandits and bandits in Mount Qinhuai than demons and ghosts, which was why it was called the Horse Bandit Mountain!
"The Horse Bandits Mountain harbors dozens of bandit groups. The most powerful group is definitely the Dragon Snake Stronghold.”
At the foot of the mountain, a woodcutter was talking to a monk in white.
He was Fahai, who had left the Golden Mountain Temple.
Through the deduction of Maitreya Future Method by Holy Monk Xu Hui, Fahai knew about Li Maochun's past, so he found the Horse Bandit Mountain.
Fahai's expression was calm. He raised one hand and asked,""Amitabha. Patron, why don't you tell me about the Dragon Snake Stronghold?”
"Although Ma Qiankun, the leader of Dragon Snake Bastion, is old, he is vicious and has hundreds of bandits under him.”
"Not to mention the other bandit nests in the Horse Bandits Mountain, even the officers and soldiers have to retreat when they see Ma Qiankun.”
Woodcutter lifted his axe and looked at Fahai.
"Holy monk, why are you asking about this?”
"Could it be…you want to get rid of the evil for the people and eliminate the bandits in the Horse Bandits Mountain?”
A hopeful expression appeared on the woodcutter's simple and honest face.
Fahai nodded. After bowing, he turned around and walked into the deep mountains of the Ancient Wood Wolf Forest.
Woodcutter shouted from behind," Holy Monk, you must exterminate these bandits. They aren't humans. They are no different from demons."”
"Sigh, because of them, I didn't dare to go into the mountains to chop firewood. I could only chop some firewood at the foot of the mountain.”
"If you can eliminate the bandits, it will be a great merit. I will ask the old woman and the children at home to be devout and believe in Buddhism.”
Fahai heard the voice behind him and snorted. He spat out two words with a cold expression,
"Noisy!"
Horse Bandits Mountain, Lone Wolf Peak.
The notorious and most powerful Dragon Snake Stronghold was here.
Lone Wolf Peak stood tall and steep, with strange rocks and jagged rocks. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This was also the reason why the Dragon Snake Stronghold could run amuck in all directions.
Even if the imperial court ordered the soldiers to suppress the bandits, they would not be able to touch the gate of Dragon Snake Stronghold without the help of spies and martial arts masters who could fly on roofs and walls.
Moreover, there were still a few heavy crossbows that Ma Qiankun had gotten from god knows where.
This was a forbidden artifact of the Great Qian Empire!
Now.
The court and the people have no time to take care of themselves, and the forbidden weapons in the army can also be lost to the people.
Even if the experts of the pugilistic world who could fly on roofs and walk on walls came, they would still not be able to withstand a few Meteor Arrows from the heavy crossbows.
Of course.
This did not include cultivators.
Fahai, who was dressed in white, crossed the air and stood at the entrance of the Dragon Snake Stronghold.
The bandits on the arrow tower who were in charge of the lookout were shocked when they saw Fahai appear out of thin air in front of the village gate. They immediately shouted,"Where did this wild monk come from?"
He raised his heavy crossbow and aimed the Meteor Heavy Arrow at Fahai below.
In the next moment, Fahai turned into a golden light and jumped over the five to six meters tall wooden stakes, rushing straight for the Dragon Snake Stronghold's headquarters.
In the hall that was hollowed out from the mountain rocks.
A group of bandits were having fun.
There was fine wine and delicacies on the table, fish and meat, as well as white flowers, accompanied by cries and laughter.
Fahai had turned a blind eye to the purgatory in front of him.
He came to the stone throne at the highest point of the hall.
An old man wearing wolf skin and a goshawk skull sat on a stone chair. His face was old, and there was a cross scar on his left face. His right eye was blind.
Just by looking at his face, this old man exuded a sinister and vicious aura.
He was the leader of Dragon Snake Bastion, Ma Qiankun!
The one-eyed old man raised his hand, and the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down.
The women who had been bullied were forced to cover their mouths by the bandits, not allowing them to make a single sound.
The bandits looked at the one-eyed old man in unison, waiting for him to speak.
The one-eyed old man looked at the white-robed Fahai and said in a hoarse and ear-piercing voice,"You…are a cultivator?"
"Only cultivators can enter Laozi's Dragon Snake Stronghold as if no one was there.”
"Other than that, even the top experts in the martial arts world can't do it!”
Fahai nodded.
"Ma Qiankun, do you know this person?”
He waved his hand, and the pure Buddhist essence in his body scattered golden light, gathering a pale golden figure beside him.
This figure was vividly depicted by Fahai. He wore a square hat and a councilor's uniform. He was a little fat and had a kind and kind appearance.
Looking at his appearance…
It was Li Xiuyuan's father, Li Maochun, the councilor of Ning County!
The one-eyed old man couldn't help but stand up and walk down the stone steps step by step, arriving in front of the pale golden figure.
He sized it up carefully.
He sized her up from head to toe.
In the end.
The one-eyed old man gritted his yellow teeth and turned around. He pointed at the faint golden shadow and said,"It's him! That's right, it's him!"
The one-eyed old man looked at Fahai fiercely.
"I can recognize this person even if he turns into ashes!”
Fahai smiled faintly, as if this was within his expectations.
"This person is now called Li Maochun, the councilor of Tianning County, the richest man in Lin 'an Prefecture, and a great person loved and praised by the people.”
" His name is Li Maochun!?"
" A great philanthropist??"
The one-eyed old man was stunned at first, then he raised his head and laughed.
He laughed maniacally!
It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life.
Suddenly.
The one-eyed old man stopped laughing and shook his head."I would recognize this guy even if he was burned to ashes. He was the one who betrayed me and everyone else.”
"What's even more ridiculous is that the scholar he killed was called Li Maochun.”
"Not only that, he shamelessly took away all our treasures and ran to Tian Ning County to do business. Now, he has even become a wealthy merchant?”
The one-eyed old man gritted his teeth in anger and shouted fiercely,"Brothers, what should we do?”
"Kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Burn his bones and scatter his ashes. Chop off his head and use it to drink wine!”
" Kill all his family members. Hang their bodies on the gate of the village and dry them into jerky. Then feed them to vultures, rats, wolves, tigers, and leopards!”
The roars of the bandits rang out in the hall.
