While flying in the mountain forest, Dong Zheng suddenly raised his head in shock. Following his eyes, he could see a yellow light exploding in the sky far away.
"Hey...what's going on again?"
Dong Zheng shrank his neck, and his whole old face was wrinkled. Despite his advanced Qi training, he had never fought with others. It used to be better in Yunzhou, but now he is not familiar with the place, and Encountering this unexpected situation, he couldn't help but be nervous.
"If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can he take it easy..."
After muttering something in his mouth, Dong Zheng changed direction slightly, trying to avoid the unexpected situation ahead.
But the world is so wonderful. The more you try to avoid accidents, the more accidents will find you. Dong Zheng obviously changed the direction, but not long after, he vaguely heard some shouts of death. The sound came from the previous aura. In the direction of the explosion, he tremblingly turned his head to look, and saw a group of monks flying towards him. Three of them, two men and one woman, were running in front, and six more were chasing after them. The six at the back were even more so. They shouted to each other something like "divide the stolen goods equally" and "don't hurt the woman". Judging from their dress, they were different from the Dongyi monks. There was no doubt that they were a group of casual cultivators from Zhennan. Rogue bandits.
Seeing the two chasing and fleeing groups flying towards him quickly, Dong Zheng's face showed some panic. He wanted to change directions and escape, but for some reason, there was a thought in his mind. The voice was loudly reciting the contents of the scriptures he read on weekdays: "There is no courage without doing what is right!" He was unable to take steps to escape.
"If you don't do what is right, you have no courage..."
Dong Zheng trembled and recited the voice in his head. There was no doubt that the group of monks who were shouting and chasing him were a group of robbers who wanted to make money and kill people. According to the scriptures, "The road is not smooth." "You should draw your sword to help." If he didn't help those monks who were fleeing for their lives, wouldn't he become the "cowardly villain" written in the book?
Dong Zheng didn't want to be the "cowardly villain" in the book, so although he was scared, he still took out a scroll and a writing brush. This action alone caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead and palms. He knew his own level. Even though his cultivation level was not low, his skill could only be described as "sloppy".
"A gentleman values others but despises himself. He puts others before himself..."
While he was chanting words from the scriptures to cheer himself up, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and flew towards the two groups of people who were chasing each other.
"Come...who is here? Dare to run wild in our Yuepan Mountain territory?"
Before he could fly in front of the two groups, Dong Zheng opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but the voice was dry and astringent, and he spoke very quickly. If you listen carefully, you can hear the harshness and inner sorrow in it.
To be honest, Dong Zheng himself realized that his voice was wrong, but the so-called arrow had to be fired when it was on the string. At this point, he could not retract it anymore. He could only grit his teeth and hold on, staring at the six men with his eyes. The name is Sanxiu bandit.
However, Gu Hao was fierce in appearance and weak in heart, but the six rogue cultivators were not much better. They came from Zhennan and were unfamiliar with Dongyi. Now a late-stage Qi-training cultivator suddenly appeared in front of him, and his words It was vaguely revealed that this place belonged to a certain cultivating force, and for a moment, they were really frightened.
Several Zhennan monks looked at each other, with a look of hesitation on their faces. Dong Zheng was delighted when he saw this, and hurriedly tightened his expression, and shouted: "I am the wife of the Li family of Yue Panshan." Deacon, do you Zhennan people want to make enemies of my family!?"
It is said in the scriptures, "Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned." It is impossible for Dong Zheng, who has studied for decades, not to know this truth. Therefore, before he came here, he specifically asked someone to ask, There is a foundation-building force in Yue Pan Mountain this month, called the Li family of Yue Pan Mountain. Their reputation is good. At least Dong Zheng has not heard any negative news about their family. It is precisely because of this that he dares to use the other party's name. head.
However, as it is said in the scriptures, "A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried." Dong Zheng believed that this move was worthy of his heart. It was just a so-called "brave act when seeing justice". He thought that even if the other party knew about it afterwards, he would not blame him. Just yourself.
His shout was much stronger and less dry than the one just now. It sounded really powerful. The uneasiness on the faces of the Zhennan monks was even stronger, and one of them flew away. He went to the leader and whispered: "Boss, let's go. If that signal attracts more people, we won't be able to leave!"
The leading monk's face changed, he forced a smile, and while holding his hands, he stepped back and said: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li. No offense intended. We really didn't know that these people are from your Li family. Please forgive me... Just leave!" Having said this, he waved his hand and shouted to a few people around him: "Let's go!"
The Zhennan monks responded and followed the leading monk as if they were running away. The speed was actually a bit faster than when they chased them. Seeing how they directly exposed their backs to Dong Zheng and others, No doubt, another rabble.
Seeing them leaving, Dong Zhengdeng breathed a sigh of relief. He could no longer hold back the cold sweat on his forehead, and it came out in big drops. At this moment, the middle-aged man, the eldest of the three chased people, The man flew up to him, raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for your help. I'm Wang Yuanshan, don't you know your surname?"
Seeing him salute, Dong Zheng quickly wiped his sweat, straightened his body and returned the salute, and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Wang Dao, you are so polite, I will not honor you by the surname Dong. 'Precepts use rest, Dong use power', Dong has a single name." , the righteousness of 'rectifying one's body to make one's way clear', truth be told, I am not from the Li family, I just borrowed his family's name today because of urgent matters, so I don't deserve this thank you from fellow Taoist."
"Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Dong. It doesn't matter. I still have to thank Fellow Daoist."
Wang Yuanshan, who stepped forward to salute, had a look of surprise on his face when he heard what he said. He unconsciously glanced at the young man next to him. Dong Zheng saw that his expression was slightly different. He thought that the other person was confused about the way he spoke. There was a look on his face. He couldn't help but put on a wry smile, but just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
Whether it was the middle-aged man in front of him or the female cultivator behind him dressed as a woman, they had glanced at the young man beside them several times from just now to now. Dong Zheng originally thought that the young man was their junior or something. But looking at the reactions of the other people, it seemed that it was not what he thought.
His doubts did not last long, and the young man took the initiative to fly forward and salute, and said: "I am Li Yuxiang. Thank you, fellow Taoist Dong, for saving me. To be honest with you, I am a disciple of the Li family in Yuepan Mountain. Just now When I heard fellow Taoist say that he was the outer deacon of my family, I was still a little confused, but now I understand."
