Acai's Sky

Chapter 871 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 13

The sky was turning pale, the morning glow spread like brocade, and the sunlight sprinkled lightly like fine sand, covering the earth with a layer of soft golden gauze.

Acai and his party quietly left Guangyuan Town and embarked on the official road heading south.

Inside the car, Ah Cai had nothing to do, so she picked a few pieces of materials she had purchased from the stall and began to concentrate on carving talismans.

Her technique is skillful, and each cut carries a rhythm, as if she is talking to the heaven and earth. The amulets of peace, talismans to dispel evil spirits, and good luck talismans take shape one by one under the knife, reflecting her profound Taoist practice.

Rong Mama was carefully wiping her hidden weapons. Those slender needles were flashing coldly in the morning light and were neatly arranged in a special needle bag, like sharp swords ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Aunt Gu was brewing fruit tea on a small red clay stove. The aroma filled the car, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The fragrance wafts in the air like fairy air, attracting passers-by to stop and take a deep breath, as if it could cleanse the dust from their souls.

Ah Cai occasionally looked up and her eyes fell on Madam Rong, and suddenly she remembered that Madam Gu seemed to need a set of handy hidden weapons.

After a brief thought, she opened the [Immortal Artifact·Exquisite Nine-Grid Dressing Box] and took out a set of flying knives from the spiritual enhancement grid - made of black jade from outer space, the blades were flowing with mysterious light, luxurious yet majestic.

Ah Cai smiled and handed it to Aunt Gu: "Aunt Gu, this set of flying knives is given to you. May it protect you well."

Nanny Gu took the flying knife, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she gently stroked the blade, as if touching the traces of time.

In fact, this set of flying knives was made by Acai himself in the world of immortal cultivation. At that time, Gu Mama had a special liking for it, but as a subordinate, it was inconvenient for her to ask for it.

Seeing this, Aunt Rong leaned in and whispered, "This flying knife and my set of needles are both made of celestial black jade. The young lady was a master in refining weapons in her time, and all her weapons are rare treasures. However, they need to be enhanced with spirit to show their power."

...

"Uu——"

A group of ferocious-looking men suddenly appeared on the official road, armed with machetes, spears and bows and arrows, like an impenetrable human wall, blocking the way forward.

Seeing this, Xiaojia hurriedly tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped. He turned around and whispered to Xiaoshun, "If a fight breaks out later, you'd better watch carefully and learn how to deal with it!"

However, the robbers were obviously unwilling to say more. One of them shouted at the top of his voice: "I built this road, I planted this tree..."

Ah Er interrupted impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense! Who are you? Even if you're trying to rob us, you still have to tell us your names!"

These dozens of robbers were crowded together, and the noise was mixed with a bit of chaos, which was disgusting.

The boss took a few steps forward, his face full of ferocity: "We are the heroes of Qipan Mountain. If you are sensible, leave us some money to keep you safe. Otherwise—"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Cai leaned out of the car window, glanced at them nonchalantly, and said lightly: "These people have no lives on them, just play with them, don't hurt them."

Ah Da and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and sheathed their swords. In reality, these swords were merely ornaments. How could they easily display the sharpness of the rare swords bestowed by the young lady?

Xiao Yi rushed out from behind, holding a green brick in his hand, grinning: "If you don't allow swords, then bricks are not allowed?"

He gave a green brick to Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San respectively, and they rushed into the group of robbers like tigers descending from the mountains. A "whack-a-mole" game began. The robbers were caught off guard and could only fight back in a mess. The scene was quite funny.

Ah Cai looked at the chaotic scene outside the car, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

She was not worried about the safety of Ada and others. Although these people looked fierce, they were actually just a mob and could not even form a basic formation.

Her eyes swept over the robbers, and she thought to herself, "Although these people are not particularly evil, they are so tyrannical and need to be taught a lesson."

Nanny Gu stood beside the car, holding a throwing knife, her eyes stern, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any time.

Madam Rong quietly hid behind the car, the needle bag in her hand trembling slightly, and the slender needles flashed in the sunlight, like the fangs of a poisonous snake, ready to attack at any time.

Although the two men did not take action, the invisible pressure they exuded had already chilled the robbers' hearts.

Xiao Yi danced with the green brick in his hand with great vigor, and each blow hit the robber's knee or wrist accurately, which was neither fatal but made them suffer unbearable pain.

Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San followed closely behind. The blue bricks of the three men seemed to have eyes and they targeted the robbers' weak spots.

The robbers were beaten dizzy and retreated repeatedly, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

The robber leader was horrified when he saw this and shouted hurriedly: "Brothers, retreat, only by saving your lives can you return home!"

However, before he could finish his words, a brick came whistling towards him and hit him on the forehead. The boss's vision went black and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

When the remaining robbers saw their boss fall, they immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

Seeing the robbers were in disarray, Ah Cai whispered, "That's enough! Stop chasing them."

Upon hearing this, Ada and others immediately stopped and put away the blue bricks in their hands.

Xiao Yi clapped his hands with a smile and said, "These guys are really weak."

Nanny Gu put the flying knife into her sleeve, walked over to Ah Cai, and whispered, "Miss, these robbers may not have committed any serious crimes, but if you let them go so easily, I'm afraid they will cause trouble in the future."

Ah Cai smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I have already planted a spell on them. If they do evil things again, the spell will take effect and make them suffer unbearable pain."

Aunt Rong also came over and nodded, saying, "Young lady, you are very thoughtful. This way of handling things will save you a lot of trouble."

Ah Cai nodded, looked off into the distance, and said calmly, "We're heading south, and the journey is long, so it's inevitable we'll run into some rogues. But as long as they don't endanger our lives, it's fine to play with them a bit."

The carriage continued on its way, the hustle and bustle of the official road gradually fading away. Inside, Ah Cai picked up her carving tools again and continued to focus on crafting the talisman.

Her technique was still as skillful as ever, and each cut carried the rhythm of heaven and earth, as if she was conversing with an invisible force.

Madam Rong and Madam Gu were busy with their own things, and the car was once again quiet.

Ah Cai occasionally looked up, peering through the car window at the clouds in the sky. She felt a faint unease in her heart, but she didn't show it. She just smiled slightly and continued to focus on the talisman in her hand.

The carriage moved slowly and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

Suddenly, several heads popped up from the bushes on both sides of the official road. These were the same group of robbers that Xiao Yi and his men had just beaten with bricks.

The leader looked dejected, his head drooping limply as he muttered, "What terrible luck! My first robbery attempt ended in failure! I didn't get anything and even got beaten up for nothing!"

Niu Er next to him seemed more clever. His eyes rolled around and he reached out and took out a purse from the boss's waist.

When he opened the purse, he found a silver note worth two hundred taels inside, and it was from the Shao Family Bank in Guangyuan Town.

Niu Er shouted excitedly, "Boss, look! This is what the team just gave us. The people in our village are saved!"

The eldest brother's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he revealed a bitter smile, "Oh, hurry up and take this money to buy rice and noodles, my mother at home is still hungry."

The eldest brother looked at the silver bills in Niu Er's hand, and couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

He muttered to himself, "Why don't you just give us the money? Why did you have to beat us up? It hurts so much!"
