It was clearly Old Gong who saw the four Taoists by my side and immediately wanted to take off!
I whispered a word, letting him come back.
However, as soon as I finished speaking, Old Gong had already disappeared without a trace…
Liang Jieshi's face changed slightly, his gaze on the four men filled with uncertainty, and he looked at me with an expression of seeking clarification.
I furrowed my brow.
I heard the sound of several stones pattering down and rolling to the edge of the cave where Old Gong disappeared. There was also one thrown into the hole.
A piercing scream erupted suddenly, and Old Gong's head shot out of the ground violently.
After landing on my shoulder, he gritted his teeth and looked terrifying!
"Old Gong..." Xi Yan lowered his voice and called out.
As usual, she is cold and aloof with strangers, but now she seemed quite uncomfortable.
Yes, I feel it's about the same.
Liu Zhen Qi said that she had heard of the fame of Xuan Chi Jinxiang Di Ruge Shen, but Old Gong's cowardly side was directly exposed. He was forced into form by someone's means and appeared as a cat with its tail stepped on, this... somewhat humiliating.
"Eh..." At this moment, it seemed that Old Gong had also noticed something amiss. He coughed and cleared his throat before saying, "Oh? You all look unfamiliar. It seems like you've all met my lord. How do you do?"
"……"
Xi Yan's face turned slightly red.
Liu Zi Yu, who was still in pain, his eyes took on a rather strange look.
"Hehe, that's good... everything is good."
Old Gong was trying hard to break the awkwardness.
I heaved a long sigh and asked, "Did you catch up?"
"Ah, right." Old Gong licked his lips and suddenly blew his cheeks, dry-throwing a little.
A murky gray mist was expelled from him.
After a moment, the gray mist shaped into a figure with its eyes tightly shut, looking extremely in pain.
That was indeed the fleeing Yinyang Master who had fled earlier.
Old Gong, killed him?
A small stature, a tattered Tang suit, a round face, wide-set eyes, and a bald brow ridge.
No... There's no skin on his head.
When people die, most will retain the appearance of the last moment before death.
The fox baldy had stripped the scalp of the Yinyang Master, and Old Gong then swallowed his soul.
Just barely breathing a sigh of relief.
With the death of the Yin and Yang Master, one less threat. Old Daoist is also invalidated, then Chang Xin is no longer to be feared.
Liu Zi Yu's face showed a very unfriendly expression.
Liu Yujie seemed to be in deep thought, while the long-bearded Taoist showed a slightly respectful expression, as if looking at Li Zhenqi.
"Eating ghosts is not a good thing, Mr. Wu, you."
Before Li Zhenqi finished speaking, Old Gong rolled his eyes and said, "Old Taoist, didn't you hear what the master just called me? That name with the hat sounds unlucky. Call me Old Gong."
Liu Zi Yu originally showed a fierce expression, but Li Zhenqi smiled and said, "Old Gong, can you heed my advice?"
"Hmph, I'm not even interested in eating him. He looks like he has a bad brain. Digging holes underground and crawling slowly. If it were me, I would definitely not take this path. Hehe, I would just use the Secret Gate Evasion Technique, stepping on the eight trigrams and diagrams, who can stop me? This young brother is not very capable." Old Gong hummed directly.
Li Zhenqi nodded slightly.
At this moment, the other people finally looked normal.
I then succinctly described what had happened here earlier.
So far, I have told everything I can say.
"Hehe, it seems that except for fighting with Tianshou Daoist, we old guys can't do much to help. Since that's the case, we also need to go down the mountain. Does Luo Daozi want to accompany us? You seem to know more about Tianshou Temple than us."
"Jianghuang City has a total of eighteen Daoist temples, which have united into one force. We were already planning to join forces with them, and if you accompany us, it should be twice as effective as if we were alone. After all, you know the path to Tian Shou Daoist Temple." Li Zhenqi spoke again, this was quite direct invitation.
I heaved a long sigh and shook my head, saying, "The junior still has some important matters to attend to and cannot go with you all. However, I think I remember some directions, and after passing by the outside appearance, it may be of some use."
"Zi Yu, write it down." Li Yujie spoke next.
I carefully recalled the direction I was walking at that time, as Old Gong disappeared during the day, he told me the way, so I remembered it very well.
After I finished speaking, Li Yujie took out something.
It was a small box about the length of an arm.
"The Liu family has taken back their magical weapons, but cannot ignore your intention of returning it. Also, you have fulfilled the dying wish of Old Five by not letting the Red Demon cause havoc, and in addition, you have used the name Zi Yu for this matter, and this incident cannot be explained outside. It can be considered that Zi Yu has inherited the reputation of this matter. Hmm, this item is just a small token of respect from the Liu family."
I took the small box, my eyes slightly puzzled.
Liu Zi Yu looked at me with a slight furrowed brow, and he looked a bit more curious.
"Choose a high place when you encounter unresolved danger or isolation, and release the fireworks inside this box. Someone will come to help you."
It was the long-bearded Taoist who explained.
Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy in front of my eyes.
When I came to my senses, the four men……had already left a considerable distance away.
They seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact, they moved at great speed. When I could see them again, they were even farther away, almost out of sight.
I bent down to look at the long wooden box, and after a moment of thinking, I handed it to Xi Yan.
Xi Yan shook his head and did not reach out to take it.
She told me that this was a gift from the Liu family to me, and she had no reason to accept it.
I was silent for a moment, then chuckled, realizing that I had really neglected, Xi Yan's sense of etiquette is not weak at all.
Then I put the small wooden box away.
Beside me, Liang Jieshi kept swallowing his saliva, clearly a master, yet his demeanor was extremely cautious.
"I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything before."
Liang Jieshi quickly lifted his hand and pointed at the sky with two fingers.
The Liang family's great fortune is not due to their foolishness. The previous few words were enough to reveal some things.
However, Lao Gong's gaze swept across the surroundings, and he muttered, "It seems like I missed a good show."
At this moment, the gray ghost spirit seized the moment Lao Gong was distracted, seemingly wanting to escape in a certain direction.
Lao Gong's head suddenly grew larger, he turned around, swallowed the spirit in one gulp, and started to chew it fiercely.
A series of screams came from the inside of Lao Gong's head.
Lao Gong muttered, "My brain may not be good, but my basic skills are solid. I'll help you add some magic to the old master."
The screams quickly disappeared.
Lao Gong also disappeared, and I felt that the urine bag was slightly heavier.
Before, Lao Gong had eaten Wu Zhongkuan, and it was done in the same way. He needed some time to digest.
"Chang Xin might be on this mountain, or he might have run far away. However, this incident should be enough to scare him and make him dare not trouble the Liang family again," I said again to Liang Jieshi.
Liang Jieshi nodded in agreement.
Then I walked towards Luo Kuan's fallen place.
