"These people are so cruel, they even kill their own people!"

"This is too inhumane. If I had known, it would be better to keep those people as slaves for us than to send them back to die."

"It's really unreasonable. They kill their own people so cruelly! What kind of country is this?"

"Stop sighing, let's figure out what happened first! We don't even understand their language! We have to figure out their language first, and then think about other things!"

Looking at the killed natives, everyone in Liang Jun started talking, but the surviving natives did not seem very sad.

However, due to the language barrier, they were unable to communicate at all. Everyone was at a loss as to how to master the native language.

At the critical moment, Hongrui took out her clothes and jewelry and walked up to a young native woman.

Hongrui pointed at her hair and nodded. The young woman began to speak. Then she started to ask questions about everything from clothes to cats and dogs, wooden bowls for eating, wooden buckets for fetching water, doors and houses.

.

"Please come up with something that the natives also have. Only by learning one thing at a time, starting from the nose and eyes, and not letting go of anything can you learn!"

Under Hongrui's guidance, Turen also began to learn Chinese. After half a month, Hongrui could almost understand many of the Turen's words.

In the past half month, Li Xiaofei personally led ten cavalry and one hundred infantry to the south for three hundred miles. He encountered many fleeing natives along the way. Liang Jun did not kill them all.

, some knelt down and begged for mercy, Li Xiaofei incorporated them into the team to carry supplies.

Three hundred miles away there was a place where hundreds of stone statues were erected. The incorporated natives knelt down and stopped advancing when they saw the stone statues. Liang Jun also formed an array outside the stone statues as if facing a formidable enemy.

These stone statues are almost the same height, nearly three feet tall. Their hands and feet are all outlined on the stone. Only the head is exquisitely carved, and the eyes are inlaid with red gems.

Li Xiaofei looked at the densely packed tall stone statues and saw that there seemed to be someone inside, so he turned around and told everyone

"Be careful, there must be a formation here! Don't break in casually! You must know that Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations almost trapped Lu Xun to death!"

"Master Li, do you know how to use Qimen Dunjia? What other techniques are there for you?"

"Master Li, this stone statue formation is too weird, we should stay away from him!"

"I think these stone statues are quite evil. These natives are kneeling on the ground and don't dare to move. It's better to retreat! There might be something terrible inside!"

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and a large black mass came out of the stone statue formation, making the war horses jump up and roar in fright.

The natives also looked panicked and ran back.

Li Xiaofei's subordinates also started to panic: "Master Li, retreat quickly!"

"Why are you panicking? It's just a group of crows! There are just too many of them! Look carefully!"

Everyone looked up to the sky and saw a flock of crows heading north over everyone's heads.

The natives seemed to be chased by crows and ran northward as hard as they could.

But how could a man outrun a crow? After a while, when the crow passed over the heads of the natives, the natives cried crazily and fell to the ground.

Li Xiaofei and Liang Jun didn't know what was going on, so they had to continue to be vigilant about whether there was anything terrible inside the stone statue array.

Soon Li Xiaofei and the others smelled a strong rancid smell. This smell was very familiar to Li Xiaofei, having smelled it frequently on the battlefield over the years.

The stench of corpses! It's blown over by the wind, and it's also emitted by crows.

"Light a fire, throw the torch in

Go, I want to see what kind of monsters there are in this stone statue formation!"

Li Xiaofei gave an order, and Liang Jun took out more than ten torches, lit them and threw them in.

After a while, in the firelight, Li Xiaofei and the others saw a large number of rotting corpses mixed with the feet of the stone statues inside.

"Don't be afraid! Come with me and have a look!"

Li Xiaofei took the lead and was the first to go in, and Liang Jun had no choice but to follow them in to take a look.

At the foot of the stone statue are mostly the heads and remains of native people, and some unknown animals are tearing them apart.

When the natives outside saw Liang Jun entering the stone statue formation, they all shouted in horror and waved to Liang Jun.

Li Xiaofei and the others saw that the natives wanted them to come out. After confirming that there was indeed no formation inside the stone statue, everyone came out.

"Make a mark here! We pushed a stone statue, let's go back first!"

Everyone wanted to go back a long time ago, so they cut down the nearby big trees, dug out the soil at the feet of the outermost stone statue, and pushed the statue down with all their strength.

The moment the stone statue was pushed, the natives cheered and shouted to the sky. Although they didn't understand what they were shouting, they must be very happy judging from their expressions.

"If we had known that these people didn't like the stone statues, we should have brought more people to destroy these stone statues!"

"There are so many stone statues that look scary and should be destroyed!"

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "Whether it's scary or not, whether it's right or not, these stone statues were made by the people on this land with hard work. We have no right to destroy them! Even under the banner of so-called justice! Put these stone statues away

We don’t have much food left after the people are released, and I don’t want to abandon them halfway!”

Liang Jun gestured with hundreds of natives for a while, but the natives still followed Li Xiaofei and the others.

Li Xiaofei had no choice but to do the planning himself and showed the dry food everyone carried to the natives.

The natives immediately dispersed and ran away. Looking at their backs, Li Xiaofei smiled, "Haha, it turns out that if you don't gather troops without food, people will die for money and birds will die for food! As soon as I told them that they had nothing to eat, they

Now that we are gone, it doesn’t matter whether we are their gods or enemies!”

"Fortunately, they understood this time. Otherwise, if they followed us to fight for dry food, some people would have been killed in vain. I really don't want to do such a thing as killing people! I have to recite the death mantra after every killing! Otherwise, I would always do it in the middle of the night.

Nightmare!"

"Killing is really not a good thing. It's too painful. Living people have to be killed one by one. It's so miserable!"

The man who recited the Rebirth Mantra was a crossbow captain in the Jiangnan Navy. Before joining the army, he was a monk in a temple.

Now he is a crossbow captain, but he still remains bald, chants Buddha's name, and is a vegetarian. Because he often recites the Rebirth Mantra, his superiors and subordinates call him the Rebirth Master, and no one knows his real name until now.

"Master of the past life, Mr. Li studied Taoism in his early years, but he has been engaged in murder all his life. You were born in an ancient Zen temple, but you are like Mr. Li. How do you feel?" Li Xiaofei saw that the master of the past life was mentioning what happened after the murder.

This is the question.

"Lord Li and I are just going to hell to save others. Killing people is also saving others! Putting the sins on ourselves alone, in exchange for the reincarnation of others! This is how you and I end up in the same place through different paths!"

Li Xiaofei felt that this monk was not simple. He could describe killing people as his own sin, instead of saying that he was compassionate and waving a murder weapon in his hand. This was the first time that Li had heard this statement, but

It makes sense when you think about it carefully. If people in the world stopped killing people, there would be fewer sins, and many people would not have to go to hell! It seems that the master also understood many exquisite Buddhist teachings in famous mountain temples back then!"

"Master Li, you are so complimentary. I'm sorry.

I only realized this after killing people for decades. At first, I followed the imperial court to kill pirates and river bandits. I felt that I was doing justice for heaven. Later, after I killed more people, I realized that I just had a legitimate reason to kill people.

Pirates and bandits are killing people, and we are also killing people. They are all killing people. The sins are all equally serious, regardless of each other! Although I have realized it, I am still killing people! Maybe one day I will be killed by someone else.

Free!"

"It's rare that the master takes life and death so lightly! Li is actually very afraid of death, so he doesn't care about many people, lest he be killed by others one day!"

The deceased master laughed loudly, "Master Li, you are quite honest! This is also the first time I have met you as an official. Many military leaders say that they are not afraid of death and have killed countless enemies. Only you have led them for decades."

A high-ranking official in the army actually said something about being afraid of death! I am not laughing at you for being afraid of death, but I am grateful that you can cherish everyone's life! If everyone is like Master Li, why worry about hell not being empty, and why worry about there being no Buddha in the world! Buddha!

It doesn’t have to be in famous mountains and ancient temples, everyone with good intentions can become a Buddha!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers shouted, "Be careful, the natives are back, and they are still carrying things!"

When Li Xiaofei and the Master of the Past turned around, they saw the native who had left earlier come back with something in his hand. It looked like a stone or something.

"Could it be that these people see that we are few and don't know how to kill them, but instead come to kill us? Mr. Li, quickly order an attack!"

Li Xiaofei looked at the natives and saw the native running at the front smiling and waving something that looked like a stone.

"Don't fire arrows! They're not going to fight us! Wait a minute!"

The Master of the Past took out his knife and held it in front of Li Xiaofei, "Master Li has a kind heart, I will protect you!"

When the natives saw Liang Jun drawing his sword and raising his shield, he also stopped, but instead of throwing the thing in his hand, he took the thing to his mouth and started chewing it.

A child-like native ran over with an object covered in mud in his hands. The soldiers at the front put down their knives and made way for the child.

The child handed the thing to a cavalryman who hugged him and rode on the horse. The cavalryman was stunned for a moment and then took the earthy thing.

The child pointed at the thing and made a whittling gesture. The cavalryman looked at the child, pulled out the short knife from his waist and scratched the outer skin of the thing. There was actually something white and fragrant inside.

The child then pointed to his mouth, then opened and closed it. The cavalryman hesitated, so the child took out a small one from his arms and fed it to his mouth. The cavalryman knew that this was telling him that he could eat, so he also started eating.

"Be careful! It's poisonous!"

"I also ate the poison. Such a young child can't be so bad!"

Although the cavalry said this, he ate cautiously. The natives on the opposite side raised the mud lumps in their hands and walked over.

"Let them come here. Are they telling me that they can find food in the wild? You see, the natives behind are picking other wild fruits!"

Liang Jun looked around and saw that every native, regardless of age or sex, had dug and gathered food for himself, and then gave part of it to Liang Jun.

"Fortunately we didn't shoot arrows, otherwise the sin would have been too great! These people are here to share food with us!"

"Although we don't understand what they say, we can still see their kindness!"

"I didn't expect these natives to know what benevolence is!"
