"Gǔ Qiāng Cheng..." Máo Sù de yàn cǎi bù hǎo de shǎi.
"Poor Daoist Liu Mu, seen Cùqu Mountain Mao Xi Observation master, seen Mao Xu deputy master." the long beard Daoist spoke.
Liu Ziyu merely replied with a formal greeting.
"The True Man of Jiuqu Mountain, that is, Mao Xi, did not change his expression and said: 'Indeed, I saw an invitation from the Liu family of the Guciang City in this direction. I guessed that it might be a problem with the formation array. You discovered it and issued an invitation. However, when I came here, I did not see any of your people. It seems that there are still troubles in other places under my Jiuqu Mountain, causing the Liu family to wave their flags and issue an invitation arrow. It seems that as the 'master' of this place, I was negligent. Mao Xu, take Luoxian Shen and others to climb up the mountain. I will go with the people of the Liu family to take a look.' "
In fact, I didn't expect that the newcomers would be two old acquaintances of Liu Ziyu's.
For so long, at least for over a year, has Liu Ziyu been wandering around everywhere?
Also, the status of the two of them...
Apparently lower.
Given Liu Ziyu's past attitude towards me, it seems unlikely they would help us.
However, I didn't expect the long-bearded Daoist Liu Mu to not back down. There was a faint sense of stopping Mao Xu's movement.
"Previously, the master of Mao Xi Observatory said something that I thought was inappropriate. Luoxian Shen is the little uncle of the fourth rule mountain. How can Jiuqu Mountain accept him? The invitation arrow he put out is a special arrow given by the true master of my Guciang City, seen as a real person. Mao Xu and I are not far apart. I rushed here immediately and there must be other disciples in the vicinity, even some elders."
"I personally believe that Luoxian Shen should be taken away by our Guciang City Liu Clan, not handed over to Jiuqu Mountain. Master Mao Xi, your personal biases are too strong."
At this moment, Lao Gong on my shoulder let out a surprised gasp, muttering in a low voice, "To speak to the real person of Jiuqu Mountain like this... Think about it, are you trying to die?"
Mao Xu's expression turned extremely cold, but due to the identity of the true man, he did not immediately anger.
True Man Mao Xi of Jiuqu Mountain smiled but said, "The Guciang City is not part of the line of Jiuqu Mountain. To speak of me in such a way, does it not seem to disrupt the hierarchy? I am the true man and master of the observatory, while you are merely an ordinary..."
"The Daoists of Guciang City do not have levels. Even the old ancestor sits and talks with us as equals. If there are those who can better it, the mistake is mine, my personal bias is mine. Jiuqu Mountain believes that Yunjin Mountain will kill the entire family of Luoxian Shen, so they let Luoxian Shen follow you, for what? Just to seize people from the fourth rule mountain? I think otherwise." Li Moy gently touched his long beard with one hand.
Liu Ziyu lifted his hand, but held two firework arrows.
"Once these two arrows are released, they concern the lives of the Liu clan of Guciang City. The close disciples will rush here at all costs, and it will also notify even more elders who are wandering outside. If Jiuqu Mountain wants to kill to cover up the incident, it may not be that easy. Please don't say we are making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, we can directly kill the elder of Yunjin Mountain, and we are clear about Jiuqu Mountain's methods."
Li Moy's tone was flat, and he had no expression on his face.
The old Gong's eyes were bulging, muttering softly: "This single-armed Daoist has gone mad... Liu Ziyu is also a stubborn man..."
Li Moy and Liu Ziyu are insistent on protecting me, which fills me with gratitude and a hint of excitement.
Frankly speaking, Li Moy's words went beyond what was necessary.
Based on the theories that Mao Yi and I have touched upon, two true men could easily wipe them out in an instant.
To everyone's surprise, Mao Xi did not strike, and Mao Su also did not strike. The two of them, aside from their somewhat ugly expressions, made no moves at all.
Just then, I realized a detail. My previous arrow call had already attracted many people from the Liu family of Guciang City.
In addition, the fundamental reason is that these two people are different from Mao Yi.
They are not as ruthless or cruel.
Now if we kill Li Moy and Li Ziyu, even if it can be attributed to this formation-restricted area, Mao Yi would definitely do so.
But Mao Xi and Mao Xu will not.
"The Liu family of Guciang City has always been more just and fair, and that is indeed true. Justice is not just for the outside world, but also for the inside world, hahaha." Mao Xi sighed slightly.
He looked at me deeply before saying, "Luo Xian Shen, do you want to leave? If you want to go to my Jiuqu Mountain, there is no reason for Guciang City to stop you. I can definitely tell you that the affairs of the official-senior uncle will be erased, and about the Wu Huang Ghost, Jiuqu Mountain will fight against it with all its might. Everything you know will play a big role."
"I don't know why, but I feel that you are indeed very suitable for Jiuqu Mountain." Mao Xi's words were heartfelt.
I shook my head.
Mao Xi did not say anything anymore.
Mao Xu sighed and then said: "Since that's the case, you can leave. However, I hope that the Guciang City will treat Luo Mu Ye and this woman in the same fair manner as always. Please inform us all the way of the Daoist sects."
Li Moy nodded.
Li Ziyu looked at us and nodded, indicating that he would leave in a moment. Then he walked straight in a certain direction.
I immediately went to help my parents, and the three of us followed him.
Li Moy followed us at the end.
When he came to our side, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.
After passing a bridge, we arrived at the opposite bank of the pond.
They have enough strength, but we don't, so we have to take a detour.
In the forest on this side, I saw another person, who was also a Daoist. However, he was old and wore a pale purple robe, and rode on a ox with horns.
Li Moy and Li Ziyu greeted the old Daoist, bowing respectfully and shouting "three elders" three times.
Only then did I realize why they dared to be so aggressive.
Why... Mao Xi and Mao Xu have no trace of anger at all.
The Guciang City has also come with a true man elder.
Furthermore, Li Moy has caught the key point. He firmly insisted that Jiuqu Mountain had other reasons for demanding me.
When all these things are combined and passed on to the other Daoist sects, Jiuqu Mountain's reputation will be in trouble.
The old Daoist in the pale purple robe nodded slightly. He looked at my face and that of my parents, with a gentle smile.
The ox moved slowly, turning around and heading off in a distant direction.
Our three people are all heavily injured, and even though they move slowly, it's very difficult for us to keep up with them.
After walking a considerable distance, I finally gathered my strength and ran up to the old Daoist who was riding the ox, stopping him.
The old ox mooed and flicked its hooves.
"Thank you, three elders for saving us."
I deeply bowed.
"Hahaha, this is the favor of the Guciang City. Why do you follow us?" The old Daoist seemed even more ethereal and cultivation-like, much more leisurely than Li Zhenqi and Li Yujie.
I was taken aback.
Isn't there any hatred or enmity towards my parents in the Guciang City?
Behind me, my parents were equally puzzled and bewildered.
"Jiuqu Mountain misunderstood a point. They think that all Daoist temples in the world have long ago suffered the danger of digging graves. However, the place where our Guciang City is located has two natural fortresses in front and behind it. All our fellow disciples and ancestors' tombs are deep in the mountains, and outsiders cannot enter. Therefore, they have grudges against you, but we don't have any."
"Jiuqu Mountain has crossed the line, wanting to capture people from the fourth rule mountain, and add your favor. Therefore, that's why my brother Ziyu and I will take you away."
"Moreover, Jiuqu Mountain must have other motives. Your family should be careful. I actually suggest that you should return to the fourth rule mountain. Although there is chaos at the gate, it is still the territory where you should stay, why worry about Elder He Tian, who has a dignified demeanor." These words were spoken by Li Moy, with great respect in his eyes.
