Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 14: Can’t be persuaded
Ji Yuan, a blind beggar, was not the focus of these people's attention. After explaining his purpose, they all got busy in the temple.
"Bang" "Bang"
Two large sacks were placed in the corner. Ji Yuan already knew what was inside, because occasionally the sounds of pigs and sheep could be heard from inside.
"Beggars, does the firewood here belong to you? Can we use it? Just treat it as if we bought it from you at the market price."
The man carrying the tassel sword shouted not far away. The stunned Ji Yuan reacted and waved his hand to indicate that they could use it as they pleased.
However, Yan Fei just asked like this and did not give Ji Yuan any firewood money, and Ji Yuan would not be stupid enough to ask for money.
No one else was interested in paying any more attention to the beggars in the temple. Those who tidied up the place, those who lit the fire, then each found a place to sit down and rest.
Even though it was almost certain that these people were seeking death, Ji Yuan did not immediately stand up and point out how stupid their behavior was.
Although they are not bad looking like that, they are far less enthusiastic than Zhang Shilin. What if they are annoyed and don't take you down the mountain with them?
You must first observe or listen.
What if they are really powerful and can really conquer Lord Lu Shan?
Ji Yuan will calm down and listen carefully to any noises made by these nine people. For example, the sound of metal collisions of some weapons on the ground makes Ji Yuan understand that they are bringing many guys with them, and with their long breath, they should really It's Lian Jiazi.
Are the martial arts masters here like they were in real life, or can they fly over walls and climb walls like in movies and TV shows? Can you deal with a tiger that has become a spirit? Did you bring any charms or something like that?
Ji Yuan was a little worried but also curious about what this group of people would do.
The fire was lit again, and a new group of people were warming up the fire. Some people even took off some of their outer blouses and hung them on the side of the wooden pole to warm themselves up.
It was not completely dark yet, so Ji Yuan speculated that their plan might be to use bait to lure the tiger out, but it didn't look like they were going to set off immediately.
“I heard from people in Narcissus Town that tigers have been causing trouble for a long time, and they have eaten a lot of people now.”
The woman surnamed Luo who was sitting by the fire was flicking the charcoal from the fire with branches, hugging her knees and asking in a low voice.
Yan Fei carefully wiped the blade of his long sword with a piece of cloth while answering.
"Yes, of course I don't think all those who disappeared in the mountains were eaten by big insects. After all, the mountains and forests are steep. What's funny is that there are rumors in Narcissus Town that they are caused by evil spirits."
Hearing Yan Fei say this, a man standing next to him with a ghost-headed sword at his feet couldn't help but interrupt.
"No, at that time Yan Fei and I asked about the tigers in Niokui Mountain. No one in Shuixian Town said anything about it. An old man in the teahouse was very taboo and said that there might be monsters on the mountain. Hahahaha, if there really are monsters in this world, You won’t attract monsters if you don’t speak?”
“It’s ridiculous, there are still tourists coming and going in the mountains!”
A man without any weapons added a piece of firewood to the fire and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, since we took over the list, we will help them deal with this matter. If there is really an evil spirit, I, Lu Chengfeng, still want to see it!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense!"
The people on the side laughed and agreed. They were young and frivolous and possessed martial arts skills. This time they went out together. It was the time to show their ambitions and make a name for themselves in the world!
The more he listened to them chatting animatedly, the lower Ji Yuan's hope for this group of people became. It seemed that they had no idea that there were real monsters on this mountain.
Ji Yuan felt that he had to try to stop it at least, lest he would not be able to kill the monster and would be blamed for his anger.
The nine young warriors seemed to have forgotten the beggar, so Ji Yuan could only attract their attention himself.
"Ahem, cough, cough...could it be that these few are the strong men who came here to fight tigers?"
Ji Yuan coughed a few times and asked tentatively.
Hearing Ji Yuan's question, everyone turned to look at him.
"Yes, we have unveiled the county government list and are here specifically to eliminate harm to the people."
"Oh~~~~"
Ji Yuan responded meaningfully. He tried not to make a provocative sound that could arouse the curiosity of these people.
Sure enough, the beggar’s reaction made Yan Fei and others frown.
"Beggar, do you have anything to say?"
Yan Fei asked subconsciously, and Ji Yuan followed suit.
"It's nothing special. I admire all of you would-be tiger-fighting heroes. It's just that when you go into battle to kill the enemy, you have a plan. The same goes for eliminating harm for the people. How many knights have a plan? ”
Ji Yuan should be as sophisticated as possible. As long as he behaves very differently from the beggar in appearance, he can attract the attention of others.
Sure enough, the beggar changed his previous attitude and spoke plausibly. The key was that his voice was thick, deep and full of energy, which suddenly gave everyone an extraordinary feeling!
Elders often teach you not to look down on anyone when you are out. Yan Fei looked at his companions, stood up and took a few steps towards the beggar. He looked at the beggar carefully again and answered with a frown.
“We heard that man-eating tigers only appear late at night, so we plan to use live pigs and sheep as bait in the mountains to lure the tigers out at night, and then attack them in groups.”
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"That's it? No other strategies or means?"
Emotional people don’t even think about digging holes and setting up traps.
"We have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and we have extraordinary martial arts. Even though the tiger is ferocious, it is just a beast. With the sword in hand, if we attack it in a group, we can still make it escape!"
Okay, this group of people not only come here for free, but they are also very naive!
Ji Yuan is a little pessimistic, and it seems that he still needs to put on some airs.
It was brewing in my heart before I laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha...hahahaha..."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
Ji Yuan laughed softly and clapped.
"Okay, okay, what a brave man, but I have a little doubt. If what is in this mountain is not an ordinary tiger, but a monster that has become a spirit, are you sure?"
"Monster?" "Real or fake..."
"Some people in Narcissus Town also said so!"
The knights squinted their eyes and looked at each other, then looked at the beggar.
"Beggar, don't be so mysterious!"
Ji Yuan also relaxed a little now, looking at them with an unchanging smile. Those pale eyes made the nine people calm down involuntarily.
"I know that I speak lightly and speak rashly to persuade others, which makes people disgusted. But after observing you for a long time, I see that you all have a chivalrous heart and are people who can do more for the people of the world. You should not lose your life here. I couldn't help but speak."
When trying to persuade others, you should flatter them a little. This is a principle that Ji Yuan has figured out before.
Sure enough, the nine people felt a little secretly happy after hearing these words, but they just suppressed it and didn't show it much.
"Beggar... Well, we appreciate your kindness, but since we have revealed the list, we should try our best. I think the monster thing is mostly spread through rumors. If something unexpected happens to us, we can't blame others!"
Yan Fei spoke with righteous words, and the people around him nodded frequently. Ji Yuan's praise touched the itch in their hearts. Yan Fei's words were almost a unanimous statement by everyone. Didn't they just come out to gain a reputation? !
After saying this, Yan Fei bowed his hand to Ji Yuan again.
"Thank you for your kind reminder!"
Then he returned to the fire and closed his eyes to rest.
Okay, seeing that this group of people looked more energetic, Ji Yuan decided not to persuade them, otherwise they might be disliked by people here, and it would also be easy for Lu Shanjun to cause misunderstandings, and he would not be human inside or outside.
As for going hunting tigers together, it was absolutely impossible. Ji Yuan could only hope that the deception he had made to Lu Shanjun the night before had some effect.
