Chapter 878: The Bandits Return

"Double the rent?" Zhou Ran's lips curled up slightly, "In that case, one hundred thousand red soul coins!"

Zhou Ran set the price.

Li Hu kept complaining and said: "Qingfeng layman, you sold me and my brothers for only 10,000 red soul coins. If you ask us to hand over 100,000 red soul coins, won't this cost our lives?"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Ran stood up and walked to Li Hu.

Li Hu felt an intimidating momentum that made people shudder.

"Master Qingfeng, we really have no money!" Li Hu begged.

When the other bandits saw this, they all knew that Zhou Ran was not easy to mess with, and they all kept begging for mercy.

"Master Qingfeng, just do it, we can't get 100,000 red soul coins at all!"

"I'll give you all the money we robbed from the villages near Qingfeng Mountain. Just let us go!"

"The boss only asked us to grab things, and we didn't harm anyone's life!"

The bandits said something to each other, making themselves very miserable.

Zhou Ran smiled faintly and asked Li Hu: "You really didn't hurt anyone's life?"

"Yes! Thieves also have their ways. Brothers rob houses just to make ends meet! Everyone just wants to have wine and meat, and they don't want to kill!"

"In that case, you all will stay here and serve me to make up for the rent you owe!" Zhou Ran said directly.

He has no one to use in the world of Zhenwu. With the support of these bandits, he can cultivate his own power.

Although these bandits have robbed homes, they have never killed anyone, which shows that they are not bad in nature and should be properly trained.

Zhou Ran's request made the bandits look at each other.

Actually let everyone be the servants of Qingfeng Villa?

Li Hu hesitated for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Principal Qingfeng, no, Boss Qingfeng! From today on, I, Li Hu, will be yours. I will devote myself wholeheartedly and never betray!"

Seeing that Li Hu had sworn allegiance, the other bandits would naturally not neglect him.

"Boss Qingfeng, I will definitely be loyal to you!"

"If you ask me to go east, I will never go west! If you ask me to go west, I will never go east!"

"From now on, I will be the dog beside Boss Qingfeng!"

The bandits' words made Zhou Ran feel numb.

Zhou Ran was not polite and said directly: "Since you have sworn allegiance, the first thing I ask you to do is to return all the things you have stolen. In addition, you must also hurt those who have hurt you." The villagers apologize. From now on, you are no longer bandits, but servants of Qingfeng Villa, and you can no longer rob families!"

Li Hu and his men did not dare to disobey the order.

All the people immediately found the things they had snatched from the villagers, put them into the Qiankun Ring, and then went down the mountain in a mighty manner.

Zhou Ran did not follow him, but waited silently in the villa.

With so many villages near Qingfeng Mountain, it would take a lot of time for Li Hu and others to apologize one by one.

Zhou Ran waited until evening before Li Hu and his men returned.

Everyone had injuries on their bodies, apparently beaten by the villagers.

"What, you were beaten?" Zhou Ran asked with a smile.

"It's okay!" Li Hu forced a smile. He was the one who was beaten the worst. "We robbed their things, so we deserve to be beaten."

Zhou Ran looked at Li Hu.

With Li Hu's strength, even if the villagers beat him, it would be of no avail. However, it can be seen that Li Hu did not use his true energy to resist, but only withstood the villagers' punches and kicks with his skin and flesh, and was injured all over his body. This was also to let the villagers Take it out.

The former bandit leader was also quite generous.

Li Hu and others successfully completed the tasks they assigned, and Zhou Ran was quite satisfied and said: "Li Hu, from today on, you are the steward of Qingfeng Villa, and all the servants are under your command!"

"yes!"

Li Hu said seriously.

Zhou Ran's strength is enough to make him serve.

Everyone else also followed Zhou Ran's lead.

After subduing these bandits, Zhou Ran settled in the villa in the name of layman Qingfeng.

Li Hu and others have lived here for so many years and have already taken care of Qingfeng Villa in an orderly manner.

Around the villa, in addition to vegetable gardens, there are also pigs and cows raised, enough for everyone to eat.

Zhou Ran lives here and has no worries about food and clothing.

As for the villagers near Qingfeng Mountain, they also knew that Master Qingfeng was back. The owner of Qingfeng Villa had subdued all the bandits as soon as he returned. This was something that even the troops of nearby city-states could not do.

The villagers were all talking about it.

"Master Qingfeng is so powerful, he was able to deal with those bandits!"

"Yes, his strength is simply unimaginable!"

"I heard that the bandits were looking after his home and courtyard. The bandits looked at him like a mouse seeing a cat!"

The villagers near Qingfeng Mountain praised it, and it didn't take long for Qingfeng Villa's reputation to spread.

Zhou Ran didn't know this, but Qingfeng Mountain was rich in spiritual energy and was indeed a good place for cultivation.

But at the moment, Zhou Ran was not practicing on his own, but teaching the basic skills of Liansheng.

Zhou Ran found a treasure spot with the densest spiritual energy at the top of Qingfeng Mountain, and then asked Liansheng to sit quietly on a big rock.

"The way to practice is to become one with heaven and earth! Integrate yourself into nature, without distractions, and you will naturally understand something!"

Zhou Ran spoke word by word.

These words are all the essence of cultivation, and all of my disciples started from this.

It's a pity that Liansheng is still young and has no way to understand Zhou Ran's words. He can only meditate quietly according to Zhou Ran's method.

Ordinary people meditate, which is okay for a while, but after a long time, they will not be able to sit still.

The same was true for Liansheng. He soon began to tremble all over and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Zhou Ran was not polite, as long as Liansheng moved, the whip would come up.

Liansheng's body was in pain, so he naturally did not dare to move.

Over time, Liansheng gradually calmed down and stopped moving. Instead, he closed his eyes and contemplated quietly.

The breath coming out of Liansheng's body became weaker and weaker, and he gradually became one with nature. Even the birds flying nearby began to stay on Liansheng's body.

"not bad!"

Zhou Ran silently praised.
