" After experiencing the suffering of the snake demon, Monk Song felt a chill in his heart when he thought back to that time. But Monk Song decided to forget about it as soon as possible because he thought that the most important task was to carry forward the Tao and obtain the Taoist scriptures. Nothing could hinder my journey. Master and disciple had experienced many difficult days for several months. Monk Song rode a white horse to a high mountain. Monk Song thought of the experience of the snake demon. This time, he had to be careful. He was afraid that he would be captured by the demon and hurt himself again. Monk Song then said," Spiritualist, I'm worried about the mountain ahead. Can you follow me closely? I'm afraid that the demons will take me away. This time, I have to be careful not to be taken away by the demons again, because this will delay the great event of promoting the Great Law. If I miss the great event, how can I live up to the trust that the Taoist Ancestor has placed in me?""Master, don't worry. This mountain doesn't have any demonic qi at all. Even if there are demons, I'll just kill them. If I can't beat them, I'll ask for help. We have a mission given to us by the Dao Ancestor, and we'll definitely have the help of a beautiful woman.”
Only then did Daoist Monk Song feel relieved that everyone had decided to enter the mountain. If they were tired, they would find a place to rest for the night and continue the journey the next day. However, the absence of demons did not mean that there were no mortals lying in ambush here. If there were no demons in the mountain, there would definitely be evil thieves. Ten years ago, there were many evil thieves lying in ambush in the mountain, who specialized in robbing people's wealth to survive. This time, the spiritual practitioner would face the most important test of his life. After this test, the spiritual practitioner would be able to achieve boundless merit and achieve positive results in the future. At this moment, Gang Cai, who was carrying his luggage, was humming a tune and singing. The Spiritualist said,"What song are you humming? It's so ugly." Gang Cai said,"Humph a few songs soon." As for the delivery, the Spiritual Practitioner said, You saw that the Taoist priest was confused by your humming. Monk Song said," The Spiritual Practitioner was right. Gang Cai, your humming is really unpleasant. Stop humming. Can you let This Penniless Priest feel at ease? Gang Cai said," If Master says so, I won't hum anymore. It's getting late. Why don't we find a cave to rest for the night and then set off tomorrow?"" What Gang Cai said is right. If we don't have a good rest, how can we carry forward the Tao and complete our mission? We should first find a cave or see if there are any residents in this mountain forest. If there are residents, please let us rest for a night." Monk Song said," But if we meet the residents in this mountain, please don't be rude or rough, especially you, spiritual cultivator. I will go ahead to check. You guys wait here for now. I will be back soon." What if there are bandits ahead? Although there are no demons in this forest, there must be bandits. I smell a bad aura and think there must be evil thieves. I guess it's in the east. Taoist priest, you're a mortal. Be careful not to go east. I don't believe you when you say that there are evil thieves in the East. We can see from the previous story that on the surface, Monk Song is a master who advocates Taoism, but he is actually a coward. It is only because he has the protection of spiritual practitioners and Dao Ancestors that he dares to act so irrationally.”
Daoist Monk Song didn't listen to his advice and rode his white horse to the forest in the east. At this time, there were dozens of people here. This was really a robbery. About twenty-five bandits saw a Taoist priest coming here. They felt that they heard Daoist Monk Song's bag was full of silver, so they came down with knives and spears to stop Monk Song's footsteps. Daoist priest, come down and listen to our instructions. Monk Song thought to himself," If there are no demons, why would there be a group of bandits? I said that because I was angry with the spiritual practitioner. After all this time, he was telling the truth. At this moment, Monk Song really regretted not listening to the spiritual practitioner's advice. However, it was too late. The bandits had already come to rob us. It was over for him to say anything." The Taoist priest handed over the silver and let you live. If you don't hand over the silver, I'll kill you and rob you. I am the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Aren't you afraid of implicating your entire family by being so lawless? A bandit said, You said that you were the sworn brother of the Great Song. I heard that there was an emperor in the Great Song who took in a sworn brother and was preparing to spread the Dao. If you let me go, I will not pursue this matter. If you kill me, my disciples and the Emperor will not forgive you lawless bandits. The bandit said, I have already surrounded you. Even if I let you continue to spread your mantras, you will still die when you go back and report to me. You will only live a few more years. Now, I have killed you without anyone knowing and robbed your jewelry and silver. Who will know what we did? Don't you think so, brothers? The group of bandits said, That's right! That's right! That's right! Big Brother is right. Even if we let him go, he will definitely report this matter when he returns. Why don't we just kill him and snatch the jewelry? One of the bandits said, But what if the emperor finds out that we killed them? I heard that the imperial envoy of the Song Emperor is especially good at searching. Why don't we get this Taoist priest to sign an agreement for us and give us some jewelry? That way, we might still be able to keep the jewelry and live. This isn't the best of both worlds, right? Daoist, why don't you sign an agreement with us? We'll let you go, but you still have to pay some silver.
Monk Song said," Please don't attack me. I really don't have any money on me. King Dawang said," You are a Taoist priest who carries forward Taoism. How can you not have money? If you dare to lie to me again, I will kill you." But I really don't have any silver. King Da said," I'll give you time to think about it. If you don't give me the money, I'll kill you. My disciple will come here soon. When he comes, I will ask him for some. My disciple still has 152 taels of silver. I asked him to give 130 taels of silver to the king. I only ask the king to leave us 20 taels of silver as travel expenses. Seeing that you are so generous, I will leave you twenty taels of silver as the travel fee. It will also save others from saying that I am bullying you old Taoist priests with cow noses, don't you think so, brothers? Some bandits said, Big brother is right. We can leave a way out for this Taoist priest. We will tie you up now and let you go after your disciple hands over a hundred taels of silver. I knew you must have money from the moment you rode the white horse. We have been robbing for so many years. It is impossible for us not to see who is rich and who is poor. If he is really poor, we will ignore him. He can go wherever he likes. Although we rob, we also have our principles. We will not break the rules of the outlaws.
"At this moment, the bandits tied Monk Song up and hung him on a tree, waiting for his disciple to come over and redeem him with silver to save his life. At this moment, Monk Song had not returned for an hour. Master hasn't returned for such a long time. Could something have happened? Brother, why don't you go over and take a look? In case something happens to Master. After leaving for a short while, he said," Brother, look at Master. He seems to be tied to a tree. I don't know what he's doing. Could it be that he's training his body or that he's been caught by a demon?" The spiritual cultivator said." There's no demon aura in this forest at all. The hunter in the mountain set a trap to catch wild beasts. Master accidentally touched the trap. You stay here. I'll go save Master and be on my way." The elder brother left quickly and returned quickly. At this time, the spiritual practitioner used a spell to instantly run to the forest where Monk Song was tied up. The spiritual practitioner looked at him and said, Taoist priest, how did you get caught by the hunter's trap? Monk Song asked," This was not a hunter's trap at all. It was the kidnappers who had captured me. They wanted silver, but I didn't have it. I could only say that you had silver. Who asked you to not listen to my advice and go east? I told you that there were bandits in the east, but you didn't listen. Monk Song said, I'll listen to your advice in the future. You should cast a spell to save me first. Those robbers are lying in ambush. When they come out, don't be rough. The spiritual practitioner said, Don't worry, I'll be gentle. Also, can you have some sense of shame? We were kind enough to help you promote the Tao, but you betrayed us to save your life. Do you have any Taoist demeanor? You're really embarrassing the Lord. I wonder if the Lord will choose you wrongly when he sees you like this. Even if you're the reincarnation of the Lord's disciple, you're not a spiritual child. The spiritual child will return to the Lord sooner or later.”
At this moment, a group of bandits heard the sound. They guessed that his disciple should have arrived here, so they went forward and surrounded the Spiritual Practitioner. They went forward and said, You little Daoist is the disciple of Monk Song? You look really strange. Forget it, forget it. Hand over the hundred taels of silver first and I'll let your master go. If you don't hand it over, I'll kill you. Anyway, no one in this desolate mountain forest knows about it. You should learn to be smart. You should know that no matter how important silver is, it's not as important as your life. Don't you think so, brothers? A group of robbers said, Big Brother is right. Hand over the silver and we will let you live. If you don't hand over the silver, we will kill you and rob you. We are giving you a chance. If you anger us, we will not care about the rules of the Green Forest. We will just kill you and take the silver. Please calm down, big brothers. Let my Taoist priest leave first, and I will give you some silver. I happen to have 150 taels of silver in my hand, so please accept them all. I only beg you to let my master go first. The silver is in my pocket. The bandit leader said, Brothers, let this Taoist live and return the white horse to him. Monk Song rode on the white horse for a while and said," Spiritualists, don't kill them. They are only mortals, and if they kill a Mortal Dao Ancestor, they will blame us. The robber said," What kind of big talk was this Daoist talking about? He actually said that he shouldn't let the little Daoist kill him. Could it be that the little Daoist was very skilled in martial arts? If he was really my brother, let's rob houses and live a good life together. Don't spread the Tao technique to that hypocritical Daoist. The spiritual cultivator said, The kings must be joking. My master was so angry that he was muddle-headed. Don't take it seriously. Let me take out the silver and give it to the kings to enjoy.
King Da Wang said," You're quite honest, Little Daoist. Alright, hand over the silver and get lost. I won't argue with you. I'm also very loyal. I heard from Taoist Master Jia that you have more than 150 taels of silver in your bag. Hand it over and I'll give you ten taels of silver for the journey. Otherwise, people will say that I'm killing people and bullying you Taoist priests." At this moment, the spiritual practitioner thought to himself," The Taoist priest is safe. I don't have to care about face with you robbers. Why don't I kill you so that you won't endanger the human world? It's also good to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and get rid of future troubles." You lawless bandits, are you tired of living and dare to ask me for silver? You should just give me a hundred taels of silver. Perhaps Grandpa will spare your lives. That bandit said," Are you tired of living? How dare you do this?" The brothers killed the young Taoist priest and snatched his bag. Therefore, these shameless robbers slashed at the spirit fighter. Although the spirit fighter was not injured at all, his anger was already filling his entire body.
"The Spiritual Practitioner said," This is the extent of your bandits 'methods. If you fight for a hundred years with this kind of power, it will be useless. Why don't you hand over your silver to me? Perhaps Grandpa will be happy and spare your lives. Little Daoist, don't be too arrogant. Even if you have an Invincible Vajra brain, I don't believe that you can defeat the twenty-five of us together. Brothers, let's kill this reckless little Daoist together. After fighting for about an hour, the Spiritual Practitioner was not injured at all and did not even move an inch. The bandits 'swords and axes could not hurt the Spiritual Practitioner at all. These bandits said, Is this little Daoist a demon? He has been hit so many times with knives, spears, and sticks, but it's not effective. Big Brother, we should just run for our lives. The King said, What was there to escape from? It was just that his body was a little harder. The spiritual practitioner said, After you guys are done fighting, I'll take action. At this moment, the Spiritual Practitioner took out the Jade Immortal Treasure Sword and stunned the robbers. The King said," Little Daoist, you really have good methods. Did we not look at the almanac when we went out today and meet this unlucky star in your hand? The spiritual cultivator said, You guys beat me up for an hour, and I've given you bandits enough face. Even if I kill your Dao Ancestor, I won't blame me. Today, I'll kill you to trap you for Tian Xing. The spiritual practitioner used the Jade Immortal Sword to kill about 20 bandits. The remaining five bandits saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly fled in all directions. The spiritual practitioner laughed and said, What a bunch of useless trash. If you don't have the ability to rob, I'll let you live and go home to reflect.”
