Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Fortunately, Hui'an had been prepared mentally. He was on guard with them today. Seeing this, he immediately shouted an order:

"Hurry up and strike the gong! Gather everyone to fight the thieves together!"

Kun Dao, who was holding the gong, came to his senses and quickly struck the gong in his hand.

Three consecutive and loud gong sounds rang out continuously, waking up the many female Taoists living in the East Garden Zen room.

There has been nothing happening in the temple recently, and all staff members of Cihang Temple are still in training.

Hui'an had trained everyone many times for emergency gatherings in the middle of the night. When they heard the sound of the gong, many female Taoists hurriedly got up from their beds, quickly put on their clothes, picked up their weapons and rushed out.

Seeing that more than 30 Kun Daoists from the entire hospital had gathered together, the thugs were still not afraid. Would a wolf rushing into the flock of sheep be afraid that the number of sheep would be greater than itself?

They were used to doing bad things, so they just waved their weapons and laughed:

"Wow, so many people are standing up to welcome the brothers! This is going to be a really fun night!"

Looking at the shining knives in the hands of some of them, the Kundao people were a little scared.

"What are you afraid of? There are more than 30 of us. Why should we be afraid of just ten of them?"

"Set up the formation according to the formation you practiced every day, and arrest all those lawless people who dare to defile the pure land of cultivation!"

Hui'an encouraged everyone.

The ruffians laughed at the side:

"Oh, they can even form a formation, how powerful it must be!"

Hui An ignored their voices and said loudly:

"Sisters! It's time to perform meritorious deeds. Participants will be rewarded with one ounce of silver each, and catching a thug will be rewarded with an additional five ounces!"

Hearing this, the frightened Kun Dao suddenly came to their senses, and the desire to make merit and earn money replaced part of their fear.

Hui An shouted: "Small Three Talents Formation, form the formation!"

"attack!"

The familiar instructions and the familiar voice allowed the Kundao people to quickly find their backbone. Driven by their instincts developed through daily training, they quickly formed a formation following Hui'an's orders, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the ruffians.

Hui'an was born into a family of military generals and had been interested in military tactics and formations since childhood. The formations she used to train the Kundaos in Cihang Temple were the most effective on the battlefield.

The opponents were just a group of rabble, and they only had four or five knives to scare people, while the others were holding sticks.

Seeing the Kundao people rushing over, they also picked up their weapons in a mess and prepared to fight.

The two sides soon started fighting.

There were seven people in a team from Cihang Temple. Some of them held long iron rods, some held short kitchen knives, and some used wooden pot lids as shields to protect their teammates. After nearly a month of practice and confrontation, they found some fighting rhythm as soon as they saw the other side attacking. According to Hui'an's teachings, they specifically attacked the opponent's weak points.

With the close cooperation of their teammates, the thugs could hardly hurt them even with knives in their hands, and they were successfully attacked by them repeatedly. Especially those who were hit by the knives panicked all of a sudden.

When people panic, they tend to retreat, and their bodies are full of flaws, so they are quickly knocked to the ground.

The thugs were only very brave. When they saw three or four of their accomplices falling down screaming, the others could no longer hold on.

Seeing that the situation was not right, some people ran away quickly, but were knocked to the ground by the wolfhounds raised in the yard and bitten to the point of screaming like ghosts.

The others who ran slower were surrounded by the Kundaoists and beaten with sticks. They fell to the ground and were unable to get up. Finally, they were tied up without any power to resist at the order of Hui'an.

In the end, only three of the seventeen people escaped, and the remaining fourteen were all captured.

After these people were tied up tightly, everyone cheered excitedly.

He overcame his fear, defeated the enemy, and captured fourteen prisoners alive. Looking back, he realized that these seemingly scary thugs were nothing more than that!

"Alright, leave a few people to keep an eye on these people. I'll go and claim your rewards tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked forward to it.

Chen Qingzhu actually knew the situation in the front hall, but seeing that Hui'an's people were handling it well, he stopped caring about it and continued to practice.

Early the next morning, Hui'an came to report the situation to her and ask for rewards for the Kundao people.

"Very good, let's hold a commendation meeting today and distribute the monthly salary at the same time!"

The assembly bell rang, and all the people in Cihang Temple quickly gathered in the open space between the front hall and the main hall.

The fourteen captured thugs were still there, with wounds on their bodies and having been frozen all night, they were all wilted.

Chen Qingzhu stood on the steps of the front hall, looking at the neatly arranged Kun Daoists, and said loudly:

"I've heard about your heroic performance last night. I've gathered you all here today to reward you for your contributions!"

Many Kun Daoists showed excitement on their faces.

"However, before that, I will first punish these villains who dared to attack my Cihang Temple at night, and let them know that if they dare to offend my Cihang Temple, the end result will be broken hands and feet!"

"Someone, cut the tendons of all their legs!"

These people usually do evil things. Cutting the tendons of one of their feet, leaving them disabled and greatly reducing their fighting power, will naturally restrain themselves a lot in the future. While establishing the prestige of Cihang Temple, it can also be regarded as a benefit to the village.

"Yes!"

The executioners were the same brave female Taoist priests who had attacked Ci'an and others last time. Now they have become the backbone of the Discipline Hall.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. He lifted up the trouser legs of these thugs and started to cut them with his sword. Screams were heard at the scene.

"Ahhh! Master, spare us! We are the ones who didn't recognize the great man and shouldn't have come to provoke Cihang Temple!"

Seeing their companions being tortured, the thugs were so scared that they pissed their pants and cried for mercy spinelessly.

Chen Qingzhu showed no mercy and watched indifferently as the Taoist priests in the Discipline Hall cut their tendons.

In the open space between the two halls, the wailing of the ruffians could be heard one after another.

Seeing their miserable appearance, the female Taoists present felt relieved and at the same time became more courageous.

Look, even this kind of thug who looks very ferocious on weekdays is nothing special. He was still caught by them and cried for mercy.

Chen Qingzhu took in everyone's expressions and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

These ruffians have played their roles thoroughly, they can go away now.

He ordered his men to drag them outside the temple to fend for themselves, and when everyone gathered, he began to distribute the reward.

The per capita fee is paid out on a team basis and is divided equally among all team members.

For every additional person captured, the captain will receive an extra 500 coins as a reward in addition to the equal share.

Including the basic monthly silver and the rewards for participating in the war, everyone’s earnings were more than two taels.

Those who perform well on a daily basis will be paid a few hundred more coins.

For many of them, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen so much money, and all the money belonged to them, so they were extremely excited.

After giving them the money, Chen Qingzhu fulfilled his promise and let them take turns to take vacation.

Two teams can rest at a time and take the Guanli’s horse-drawn carriage to play in Nandu City for a day for free. After returning, they can continue to rest for two days.

After Huiyun told the team members to keep a low profile and put safety first, they started to go out for a walk in the city.

The purchasing power of two taels of silver is not low. The Kun Dao people did not stay overnight. They went to the city to eat various snacks and bought a lot of long-lasting snacks or small jewelry to bring back. They did not spend much and had a great time.

Spending money feels so good that you can't stop.

Now when everyone thought of those thugs, there was nothing to be afraid of. They just hoped that such invaders would come more often so that they would have more opportunities to earn rewards.

Having gained real benefits, everyone became more attentive and diligent in their daily training.

As the saying goes, when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. The most important things for an armed force are bravery and discipline.

Now, the female Taoists in Cihang Temple have both of these things.

After this battle, the combat power of Chen Qingzhu's men was truly improved. Even if someone from Jingnan Marquis's Mansion came, they could fight against them.
