Daoist Priest Qing Feng nodded with a dark expression. He thought to himself,'It seems that they came not long after I left.'
The bandits had been in the village for a few hours, and even the people of the two villages had been killed.
At the thought of this, she turned around and walked out anxiously.
The middle-aged man shouted from behind,
"Taoist priest, where are you going?"
"Go and see if there are any living people in the village. If there are, save them…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng replied faintly.
" Taoist priest, please get me out of the water tank. I've been squatting here for several hours. My legs are numb from the cold..."
The middle-aged man begged with an embarrassed expression.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng sighed.
He went back to the water tank and stretched out his hand. He didn't seem to use much force.
After gently patting the water tank, the water tank slowly cracked open.
After Daoist Priest Qing Feng had walked some distance away, it shattered with a splash, and water splashed everywhere.
The middle-aged man stood in the middle of a pile of broken rubble. He was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He muttered,
"Oh my god, did I meet a god today? Such a heavy water tank was shattered by a light slap…"
By the time the middle-aged man understood what was going on, he looked at Daoist Priest Qing Feng again. He was already gone. It was as if he was dreaming.
After Daoist Priest Qing Feng smashed the water vat, he ran out of the courtyard and looked around.
Not a single person was left alive in these courtyards. Even children who were not even one year old could not escape.
It could be seen that the savagery of this group of bandits had already reached a point that made one's hair stand on end.
At the same time, Daoist Priest Qing Feng felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
He wondered how his silly disciple was doing.
With his straightforward personality, he definitely could not tolerate such a cruel massacre happening in front of his eyes.
He would definitely risk his life to stop them. If that was the case, would he still be alive?
Daoist Priest Qing Feng took a deep breath.
He shook his head in pain and continued to walk towards the west of the village.
Finally, they found a few living people in a courtyard.
When those people saw him, they were like birds frightened by the twang of a bow and fled in all directions.
With great difficulty, he flew forward and held down a teenage child.
The child was completely scared out of his wits. He just stared at Daoist Priest Qing Feng in a daze.
His eyes were filled with fear.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng's expression softened when he saw the child's frightened eyes.
Just as he was about to ask something, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.
Looking up, he saw a middle-aged farmer woman holding a hoe and smashing it down on his face.
Daoist Priest Qing Feng was shocked. Seeing that it was too late to dodge, he could only extend an arm.
He caught the hoe that was smashing down heavily.
The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and struggled a few times, using all her strength.
She couldn't free the hoe from Daoist Priest Qing Feng's hands. Her expression suddenly changed, and tears flowed down her face.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He begged,
"Sir…please spare my son's life! I beg you, if you want to kill me, just kill me…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng saw the pitiful look on the middle-aged woman's face and felt pity for her. He gently put the hoe aside and walked over to help the woman up. He said gently,
"Big sister, this poor priest is a corpse herder. When I passed by this place and saw this tragic situation, I came to save people. I'm not a bad person.”
The middle-aged woman was scared out of her wits by the bandits, so she mistakenly thought that Daoist Priest Qing Feng was a bandit.
If she had taken a closer look at Daoist Priest Qing Feng's attire, she would not have acted so rashly.
After Daoist Priest Qing Feng introduced herself, the woman looked at him carefully.
Seeing that he was indeed dressed like a Taoist priest, with a kind face and a somewhat sage-like appearance, she felt relieved and apologized,
"I was rude just now. I hope Taoist priest can forgive me…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng waved his hand and asked directly,"
"Almost all the people in this village were killed by the bandits. How did you escape this calamity?”
The middle-aged woman wiped the tears on her cheeks and pulled her son into her arms. She said sadly,
"Originally, my man, my son, and I couldn't escape this calamity. At that time, a few bandits beat my man in the courtyard and forced him to hand over the silver. However, my family was too poor and indeed didn't have any silver. Those bandits were furious and wanted to kill my man. At that time, a masked young man suddenly ran out and knocked them unconscious with stones. He even tied them up with hemp rope and threw them into the house where my livestock were tied up. He said that he would hand them over to the government tomorrow morning. We found a place to hide. When we heard that the bandits had left, we dared to come out and take a look. I didn't expect…to meet you as soon as we came out…"
Daoist Priest Qing Feng was stunned for a moment before he asked anxiously,
"You said a masked youth saved you? What did that young man look like? What are you wearing?"
