When the middle-aged Taoist priest saw this, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He probably never expected that a few of us, seemingly ordinary diners, would defeat more than a dozen of his junior disciples in an instant.
Whoosh!
The middle-aged Taoist priest said nothing, put his toes on the ground, turned around and ran away.
I had been on guard against this move for a long time, and with a flick of my wrist, a chopstick shot out like a sharp arrow.
Before the middle-aged Taoist priest could react, the chopstick pierced his thigh and penetrated deeply.
With a pop, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately knelt down on the ground, covering his bleeding thigh, and howled like a slaughtered pig.
The shop owner and his wife were hiding aside. After seeing this scene, they realized that we were not ordinary people, so they hurried over and knelt down.
"Thank you all for helping me, masters!"
I quickly helped the two of them up: "You two are welcome. Drawing a sword to help when the road is rough is what we should do."
After I finished speaking, I walked towards the middle-aged Taoist priest step by step with my hands behind my back.
"You, what do you want to do?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest held his injured thigh and couldn't help but retreat. His eyes looked at me, full of fear.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master. I just hope you can do me a favor."
I said with a hint of a smile.
"W-what's the deal?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest said with fear on his face.
"I want you to take us up the mountain. I want to talk to your leader."
Shangqing Mountain has high mountains and dense forests. It is not an easy task to find the mountain gate of Shangqing Sect.
Now that this guy has come to our door, he has saved us a lot of trouble.
"You want to see our leader?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "Our leader is busy with official duties, so you can see him whenever you want. What's more, you injured me today. If he knew, he would definitely not let you go..."
"So, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Snapped!
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ze couldn't hold himself back anymore and stepped forward and slapped him.
"If I ask you to lead the way, just lead the way obediently. Why is there all this nonsense!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest covered his red and swollen cheeks, but he dared not speak out in anger and could not utter a word.
"Taoist Master, Brother Bai is right. Just take us into the mountain gate. We will make our own arrangements for the rest."
I looked at him and said calmly.
"Okay, I, I will lead the way for you."
After being injured on his leg and slapped by Bai Ze again, the middle-aged Taoist priest became completely honest and did not dare to say another word.
After we said goodbye to the shop owner and his wife, we followed the middle-aged Taoist priest and walked towards Shangqing Mountain.
Because the middle-aged Taoist priest suffered a leg injury and had difficulty moving, he walked with a limp and moved slowly.
"Jingjing, do you have that kind of ointment that can heal wounds quickly?"
I saw that this was taking too much time, so I turned to Jingjing and asked.
"Yes, yes, but...what do you want to do?"
Jingjing asked me doubtfully.
Under my gaze, she understood my intention and said dissatisfiedly: "This guy is just a robber, why are you helping him?"
"Besides, now that he has been cured, if he does something naughty later, we will be in trouble..."
I smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. He doesn't dare to be naughty."
Although An Jingjing was still a little dissatisfied, she took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to me without asking any more questions.
I quickly stepped forward, stopped the middle-aged Taoist priest, and asked him to apply ointment on the injured thigh, which could relieve the pain.
The middle-aged Taoist priest thanked him profusely. After applying the ointment, he traveled much faster.
The middle-aged Taoist priest led us on a steep and winding path behind the mountain. After climbing halfway up the mountain, a pine forest appeared in front of us. The pine forest was filled with mist and we could not see the end at a glance.
We followed closely behind the middle-aged Taoist priest and found that he moved left and right, and turned back from time to time. His walking route was very strange.
While walking, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly flashed, turned behind a pine tree, and disappeared.
"What's going on? That guy ran away?"
When Bai Ze saw this, he quickly asked me.
Lonnie and Jingjing also hurriedly stepped forward, looking around vigilantly to avoid being attacked.
"No need to worry,"
But I smiled and waved my hand: "He will come back soon to lead us."
While everyone was wondering, bursts of howling sounds suddenly came from the pine forest not far away.
After a while, the middle-aged Taoist priest ran over in a panic and knelt down in front of me with a thud.
"Master, please, please spare me this time. I will never dare to run away again!"
Bai Ze and others were stunned for a moment, but quickly came to their senses.
Because they have all discovered that above the head of the middle-aged Taoist priest, there is a ghost baby who has always been covered in darkness.
That's right, it's Xiao Hei!
I had long expected that once I helped the middle-aged Taoist priest heal his leg injury, he would probably escape midway, so I released Xiao Hei early and let him climb onto the middle-aged Taoist priest's head silently.
Just now, the middle-aged Taoist priest wanted to take the opportunity to throw us away, but unexpectedly, Xiao Hei above his head immediately stretched out his hand and covered his eyes.
The more evil a person does, the more profoundly they will be affected by the ghost's blindness. Under the impact of a series of horrific scenes, the middle-aged Taoist priest finally realized that this was the method I used.
So, he ran over to me regardless and begged me for mercy.
"Taoist Priest, I hope you can lead the way well. If there is another time, I won't be able to help you."
I said calmly.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded quickly and said.
Then, I snapped my fingers, and Xiao Hei let go of his small hands, letting the terrifying scene in the middle-aged Taoist priest's mind temporarily disappear.
The middle-aged Taoist priest immediately collapsed on the ground. After a while, he stood up and continued to lead the way.
With the lesson just learned, the middle-aged Taoist priest no longer dared to play tricks. After a while, we walked out of the pine forest. The fog dissipated in front of us, and more than a dozen magnificent Taoist temples appeared.
Only then did I realize that the route the middle-aged Taoist priest was walking seemed to be a formation. They used this pine forest to deliberately hide the entire mountain gate of the Shangqing Sect. Most people just come here. If they don't follow the formation route, , it is also difficult to find the location of the Shangqing Sect.
It has to be said that Ding Busan really put in a lot of effort to hide his mountain gate.
The middle-aged Taoist priest led us to the largest Taoist temple in the middle.
During this period, we also met many Taoist priests practicing outside, and they all looked at us curiously.
Just because we were middle-aged Taoist priests, other Taoist priests did not dare to question our identities. The journey went very smoothly. After a while, we arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
Two young Taoist priests stood at the door of the Taoist temple. When they saw us approaching, they immediately stepped forward and blocked the door.
"Third Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"
