Chapter 979

"Okay, I say, but you have to tell me first, are you a human or a demon?"

The bandit leader was also a little bold, although it hurt, but gritted his teeth and endured it, the sweat on his forehead came out, and he actually had the heart to bargain with Gu Zheng, so he didn't answer Gu Zheng's question, but asked another one.

"Yes, at least you didn't come up and say that I was a monster, much better than those people, but your eyesight is really not good, is there a monster like me?"

Gu Zheng gave a little appreciation, after this person saw his ability, he didn't treat him as a monster like the villagers in the big bazaar before, at least he didn't treat him purely as a monster, and specially asked him if he was a human or a demon.

"It's good to be human, then you are an immortal?" the bandit leader let out a long breath, still asking.

"It can be said that I am currently an immortal cultivator, and I have not yet reached the realm of immortals!"

Gu Zheng nodded, he was not far from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and if he didn't reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he really couldn't call himself an immortal, but he really used immortal power, so he could barely say that he was an immortal.

"My name is Ma Duo, I am a native of Ma Village 500 miles away, there are few people in our village, only more than 30 households, less than 200 people, seven years ago, my village suffered a catastrophe, a group of monsters attacked our village, captured a lot of people, I escaped with three people in the village, wandered around, life is extremely difficult!"

The bandit leader finally talked about his situation, he is also a hard-working man, the village was attacked by monsters, and there were only four people left in the whole village, who depended on each other, but life was not easy, no matter where he went, he did a lot of work, ate little, and was often bullied.

Once, in a village, he worked as a helper for others, because he could not finish it on time, not only did he not have food, but he was also beaten by the master's family and driven out.

The bandit leader, that is, Ma Duo, was too angry at the time, and in a fit of anger, he took the remaining two people and killed the main family, and the thirteen members of the main family were all killed by the three of them, this Ma Duo is a smart man, although he is going to take revenge, but he is not reckless, he knows that there is a poisonous weed, although it poisons people, but it will make people vomit and weak, he pretended to repent in advance, and wanted to go back to work, and only ate half of the food in the future, doing the same job, so that the main family took in the three of them again.

At night, he secretly put the venom from the poisonous weeds in the water that the main family drinks, and the next day the main family all vomited and nauseated after eating, and their whole bodies were weak, so he took the remaining two to find the knife and sharp objects in the house, and killed all the thirteen members of the family, and left no children.

Committing such an evil act, he was thinking that it was impossible to make a living by working for others, so he simply took his two brothers to become bandits, and over the years, some forces have also developed, and now there are more than 30 people, most of whom are hard-working people who can't survive.

There were only about twenty of them, and there were more than a dozen weak women waiting in their lair, but the old people did not have them, and no old man could live to them, and he would have died a long time ago.

Although he became a bandit, he still lived a lot, occasionally robbed a little passerby, but unfortunately the harvest was too little, these years are basically poor people walking around here, there is no oil and water at all, and they don't have the strength to fight the village, this Ma Duo is really smart, so he thought of the trick of intimidation.

Prepare more torches, go out at night, deliberately frightening people, and then ask the people in the village to bring out the grain for them, and they will leave, so they successfully robbed three villages and harvested a lot of grain, this is the fourth, I didn't expect to plant it here.

"I'm done, I know that we have done a lot of evil, and we want to kill or chop at will, but after they followed me, they didn't kill anyone, and we only robbed passers-by and didn't kill them, since you are an immortal, can you let them go?"

After Ma Duo finished speaking, he looked straight at Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng didn't expect that this was still a man, and finally pleaded for his subordinates.

However, what he said Gu Zheng believed that these people should really not have killed anyone, and they didn't look so cruel, Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person, and they couldn't deceive Gu Zheng.

It's this Ma Duo, it's really not easy to say the words to let his subordinates go at this time.

"It stands to reason that you killed thirteen of their families, although there was a reason for the incident, but the children did not let go, it is indeed a bit excessive!"

Gu Zheng sighed, he is not against revenge and killing, he has also done it, but he is powerless and weak, he has never gone down, and he is a little unacceptable to this.

"I know, but that kid's eyes are full of hatred when he looks at me, I don't kill him, I will be killed by him sooner or later, I'm just alone, I still have brothers, and I may have family members in the future, I have to kill him, I don't regret it!"

Ma Duo nodded, Gu Zheng was a little surprised again, he didn't expect this person to know that cutting grass and eradicating roots was not purely because he wanted to kill people.

"Well, since the evil deeds are unforgivable, then I will do the right thing for heaven once today!"

Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, but Ma Duo closed his eyes, he knew that he was not Gu Zheng's opponent at all, he only wanted to die now, and it was also a good thing for him to die peacefully.

Gu Zheng suddenly clapped his hands forward, and Ma Duo's body flew out violently, and then he was pulled by Gu Zheng, and his body flew back again, but his whole body had softened, and his head was drooping there.

"Big brother!"

Several people behind him shouted, their faces full of pain, it can be seen that his prestige among these people is not small, and everyone respects him.

A faint figure emerged from Ma Duo's body, this is Ma Duo's soul, Ma Duo is already a ghost at this time, but no one else can see it, only Gu Zheng can see it, and he also sees Gu Zheng.

After death, the soul will enter the reincarnation of the underworld, and the underworld is a separate realm, not within the flood wilderness.

However, the underworld of this meeting should not have really taken shape, at least the King of the Earth Bodhisattva is definitely not there, and the King of the Ten Halls of Yama is not there, as for what the underworld looks like, Gu Zheng is not clear at all.

This point Gu Zheng really guessed correctly, the current underworld is indeed relatively chaotic, to put it simply, similar to the era of warlords, many ghost kings occupy the mountain as kings and become a force, disobedient ghosts are eliminated or eaten by them, and there are also battles between several major forces, but there are no particularly powerful masters, the environment of the underworld is too poor, and the resources are too few, and the ghost cultivation is inherently flawed, and there are very few strong people in the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal, let alone quasi-saints.

If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been occupied by Jizo in the future, and ten halls of Hades would have been opened.

At this time, Gu Zheng can still detain a soul, even if he is not an immortal, but after all, he has immortal power and immortal arts, and it is not difficult to prevent a soul from entering the underworld.

"Am I dead, you, you are really an immortal, I didn't expect you to even be able to control the fools!"

Mado said bitterly, to be precise, Mado's ghost said, he had seen his dead self, and he also saw the ancient strife that was watching him.

"You're right, I can control ghosts, so in my hands, it's useless to die, since I can let you die, I can also let you live, do you want to die or live!"

Gu Zheng said to Ma Duo's ghost, Ma Duo was stunned at first, and then nodded wildly: "Great Immortal, if you want to live, of course I want to live!"

"If you want to live, you can, but you have to remember, don't harm people's lives in the future, I can let you live, naturally let you die, and when you die next time, it won't be so easy, I will prepare an oil pan, fry you every day, let you suffer the pain of frying every day!"

Gu Zheng said to Na Ma Duo, Ma Duo's ghost couldn't help but shudder, the current underworld does not have the punishment of oil pot, but he will think, he can think of what it is like to fall into the oil pot and be fried, the most important thing is that this is not a once, but every day, it is ten thousand times more uncomfortable than death.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I will definitely not harm people again, I only have that once, it was really that family that went too far, and killed my brother to let me do this!"

Ma Duo nodded quickly, but Gu Zheng didn't speak, stretched out his finger, and lightly touched Ma Duo's ghost, and his transparent body instantly returned to his body.

The ghost can't stay in the sun for long, but fortunately it's night, and if the sun is shining in the sun during the day, the ghost of Mado will be gone, and there will be no time to talk to him.

The soul entered the body, Gu Zheng clicked on Ma Duo's body a few more times, Ma Duo coughed violently, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then climbed up with difficulty.

When Gu Zheng rescued him, he had already reset his arm and his leg was able to move.

Ma Duo died once and accepted the punishment, the current Ma Duo is no longer the previous Ma Duo, it is the reborn Ma Duo, Ma Duo feels good about this person Gu Zheng, if you use it well, you can help him in the future, he now has only one Wu You by his side, and there are still a few people.

What's more, he is also a bandit with a bottom line, he has never killed anyone, he just cheated some food in order to survive, and his crime is not to death, Gu Zheng didn't plan to kill all these people, so naturally he wouldn't kill him.

"Take them all back, and then wait for me tomorrow on the east side of the village!"

Gu Zheng commanded Ma Duo, and then walked back by himself, he didn't help reset the arms of these people, but dislocation is also an occasional occurrence at this time, many people know, people who understand can reset themselves, and if you don't understand, find someone to help, you can also.

In any case, these people are bandits, and it is necessary to punish them.

At the entrance of the village, many people are still talking there, after Gu Zheng went out for a child, everyone was worried about him, but what happened after that made them scratch their heads, they first heard two people screaming, and many people became larger, but they were far away from each other, and they couldn't hear clearly what was noisy over there.

They were worried that this was the bandits' deliberate action, so they didn't dare to go over to look, the head of the family where Gu Zheng lived was a little anxious, but when they saw Wu You, they were not in a hurry at all, and they could only give up after that, it was not his child, since the adults in their family were not in a hurry, he had no reason to be in a hurry.

"Someone, someone!"

The people at the entrance of the village quickly shouted, and after a while, they saw Gu Zheng walking alone from the darkness, how did he go, and how did he come back.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was actually fine, many people's eyes almost fell off.

"The bandits have realized their mistake, they have all left, and they will not come in the future, everyone can rest assured!"

Gu Zheng grinned and said to the people in the village, regardless of their reactions, he walked over and grabbed the little hand of the glutton, and walked towards the village together, while Wu You and Aunt Cui followed closely behind.

The villagers at the entrance of the village stared at each other, and then they saw that the torches on the opposite side had been extinguished a lot, and the rest were also far away, and when those points of light turned a corner, they could no longer see them.

A few bold villagers ran over to take a look and found that the bandits were indeed gone, so everyone was relieved, and after a search, the villagers on duty were left behind, and the others went back to rest.

Early the next morning, in the awe-inspiring eyes of the family, Gu Zheng and a few people left, and the family also specially returned the animal skins that Wu You gave them before, saying that they didn't want anything, saying that they were grateful for saving the entire village yesterday.

Even a fool understands that the kid went out yesterday not to play, but to teach those bandits a lesson and drive them away, as for what method Gu Zheng used, they don't know, but as long as they know that they saved them.

For the life-saving benefactor, how can you still accept other people's things.

After a few times, seeing that the family was very persistent, Gu Zheng gave up, but after leaving, he secretly asked Wu You to release them back, and then left the village, they didn't want it, but Gu Zheng didn't even want to go back to this thing, just give it to them in another way.

Five miles away from the east entrance of the village, when Gu Zheng arrived, Ma Duo was really waiting there, Gu Zheng believed that he didn't dare to run, especially after knowing his ability.

It's just that Gu Zheng didn't expect that there was not only one Ma Duo, but more than thirty people, and the entire bandits' den were all here, including seven women, three children, and twenty-seven adult men.

Thirty-seven people are all the members of this bandit's den, and yesterday they dispatched twenty-two people, and the remaining five stayed in the old nest.

"Why did you bring them all!"

Gu Zheng frowned and asked Ma Duo, what he wanted was only Ma Duo alone, not so many people, so many people were of no use to him, and they would drag him down.

"Daxian, if they don't be bandits, they can only starve to death, but you explained, they can't be bandits, there is no way for them to follow me out, Daxian, you must have a way to help them, they are all very capable, as long as they give them a little food, they won't starve to death!"

Ma Duo Putong knelt down and pleaded there, one thing he said was true, these people would really starve to death if they didn't become bandits.

They can also go hunting, but hunting is not easy, the risk is very high, and there is not necessarily a guarantee of a harvest, and they are not people who can hunt, no one knows how to make traps, Ma Duo knows a little, but not much, they have tried before, but the prey was not caught, and two people died, one of them was the first to run out with Ma Duo, since then, they did not dare to hunt at will.

As soon as Ma Duo knelt, all the bandits knelt down and begged for the ancient dispute together.

"Xiaoyu, they are also poor people, why don't you follow us back to the village?"

Aunt Cui leaned over and whispered, Huiyuan Village suffered a big loss five years ago, most of the powerful people in the village lost most of them, although these people are all yellow-faced muscles, but there are more than 20 adult men, as long as they don't do evil, they can give Huiyuan Village a supplement if they live there in Huiyuan Village.

After all, Aunt Cui is still from the village, thinking about her village.

After going back yesterday, Gu Zheng briefly told them about the bandits, and let them know that these bandits are actually hard-working people, and they don't really want to be bandits to harm people.

"Okay, then take them with you!"

After thinking about it, Gu Zheng nodded quickly, and took them to Huiyuan Village to settle down, so that they would have a place to settle down and not starve to death.

The big loss of Huiyuan Village five years ago has not recovered now, these people will only enrich their strength if they go, and they should not be stupid to come over and oppress them, just to prevent it, Gu Zheng is going to talk about it.

Seeing that Gu Zheng had agreed to take them away, the bandits were very happy, and they all stood up, followed behind their carriage, and walked slowly.

These people walked very slowly, after all, they didn't have enough to eat, they didn't have much strength, and it was already good to be able to walk.

"Wu You, light the fire, I'll go get something, let them fill their stomachs first!"

Gu Zheng They have already eaten, and they are not hungry for the time being, but these people can't, Gu Zheng asked Wu You to light the fire and set up the pot first, make the grain and dried meat on the carriage, and he himself went to find if there was anything he could catch and eat.

Wu You quickly cooked a pot of meat porridge, the fragrance made those bandits and their families swallow the saliva constantly, and when it was cooked, Wu You asked each of them to hold a bowl to eat, and if there was no bowl, they took out their wooden bowls.

These wooden bowls are also made by Gu Zheng, but there are not many of them, and there are really no ones, so wait for others to finish eating.

As soon as they finished eating a pot, when Wu You and Aunt Cui continued to do it, Gu Zheng came back, dragging a big porcupine and a bison behind him, Gu Zheng's thin body dragged such two big prey, which looked very discordant.

"Don't be stupid, go and help, if you have eaten, hurry up and help the master bring things back!"

Wu You scolded here, Ma Duo immediately got up and ran over with more than ten people, everyone else ate, Ma Duo hasn't eaten yet, the pot is so big after all, one pot is not enough for more than thirty people to eat, so it can only be cooked separately.

Seeing these two prey, Ma Duo also secretly smacked his tongue, porcupine and bison, together at least more than a thousand catties, not to mention how Gu Zheng killed these two prey, to be able to drag these two big guys back, how much strength does it take, anyway, he can't do it.

But when he thought of Gu Zheng's identity, he was relieved, this is an immortal, not to mention dragging two, twenty can also be dragged back, in the eyes of mortals, immortals are people who call for wind and rain, move mountains and seas, and are omnipotent.

With Ma Duo and their help, Gu Zheng doesn't have to drag it by himself, more than a dozen of them, dragging together can still drag these two big things back, with these two prey, the meat on it can be eaten for at least a few days.

In the past few days, I have to hurry up to find a place where there are people, change more food, a little bit was enough in the past, there were few of them, and now with these people, there are more than 40 people, and it is really not good to prepare more.

How to take Gu Zheng this time I didn't have to worry, when they were all full, except for the children, everyone put some on their backs, and put some on the carriage, they could always put it down, but if there was a chance, Gu Zheng would still find a way to get a few carriages, so that those children and women could sit in the carriage and hurry.
