Chapter 981
Gu Zheng sat for a full hour before standing up.
If there were monsters in the cave from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, then he should have smelled the smell of blood a long time ago and came out to check, since he hadn't come, then Gu Zheng put his mind at ease and determined that there was only this one monster here.
Put away the incense case, the gourd and the mirage dragon ball, Gu Zheng strode towards the mountain.
In the monster cave, several monsters were chatting and farting there, saying that the king went out, and he must have his hands to catch it, and when the monster went out just now, he said to his subordinates that his Mirage Dragon Ball appeared, and he was going to catch the person who stole his Mirage Dragon Ball.
I didn't see their king come back for an hour, and these monsters were not in a hurry, still chatting there and eating meat.
For monsters, there is no shortage of meat, and the resources at this time are still very rich, unlike the later monsters, who occupy a mountain, only the things in the mountain belong to them, and they can only hunt the prey in the mountain, and when they go out of the mountain, it may be someone else's territory.
That kind of monsters, life is really poor, the animals on the mountains are limited, and they don't know how to raise, purely let these wild animals grow naturally, to fill their stomachs of these monsters, you have to save some food, this time is different, there are barren mountains everywhere, there are no people's territory everywhere, how to catch how you want, how to eat how you want.
But even so, there are still many youkai who eat people, and they treat people as a kind of food for them.
When Gu Zheng went up, these monsters were talking about the delicious human flesh last time, they had eaten it, and when they would catch some again, and they didn't notice that someone had already arrived in their cave.
"Who caught the little doll, how did it run out!"
A monster noticed Gu Zheng and shouted in surprise, Gu Zheng had already carefully observed them, and no one had reached the realm of heavenly immortals, so he was relieved a lot.
Gu Zheng can't directly probe them now, but he can still observe some through his words and deeds, besides, when he really reached the realm of heavenly immortals, he had already noticed the fishy smell under the mountain, and he wouldn't be so careless and brag and fart here.
"I didn't catch it, this little doll meat is so tender, it must be very fragrant!"
The other monster stared straight at Gu Zheng, and said with bad intentions, Gu Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand, and he was still holding a short knife in his hand, which was a short knife he had made early in the morning, much better than the original one.
"The little doll is still holding a knife, haha!"
The monster who wanted to eat Gu Zheng laughed, rubbed his hands and stood up, and walked towards Gu Zheng, before he got close to Gu Zheng, his head flew into the sky, this time it was not a gourd that cut immortals, but Gu Zheng's knife.
To deal with this kind of little demon, you don't need to cut the immortal gourd.
Speaking of which, the monster before was also considered to have died, and was killed by the Immortal Gourd, and the Immortal Gourd killed were all powerful characters, and he was a little demon in front of those powerful characters.
It was Gu Zheng himself who killed the little demon this time, and his combat experience and technique were far from being comparable to these little demons.
The companion died like this, and several little demons were stunned, only then did they react, and they wanted to use weapons to resist, but unfortunately Gu Zheng didn't give them this opportunity, and the child-like Gu Zheng was like a tiger entering a flock, and quickly solved these little demons.
There were a total of four little demons, all of whom were killed by Gu Zheng.
After killing these little demons, Gu Zheng searched in their cave again, the cave is not big, with a smell, and it is very dirty, in addition to a large cauldron, there are several obvious grills, and a pot of meat is boiling in the pot, fortunately, it is not human flesh, it is estimated that it is the ration of these little demons today.
And what made Gu Zheng angry was that he saw a lot of bones inside, there were hundreds of them, and there were already a lot of people who ate these monsters.
In addition to these hundred human bones, there is also a big pit outside the cave, and there are many human bones in it, at first glance, they all know that they are children, needless to say, these are those children who were killed before, looking at these bones, Gu Zheng did not regret killing those two, he only hated them.
It's a pity that this ancient strife can't enter the underworld yet, otherwise they will go to the underworld to catch their souls, prevent them from entering reincarnation, and let them suffer forever.
After clearing these monsters, Gu Zheng finally let go of some things in his heart, but unfortunately these monsters are too poor, whether it is the king just now, or these little demons, there are no useful resources, but the fur of the monsters has been harvested a few.
These furs are better than regular beast furs.
"Wu You, you said, Xiao Yu will be fine, right?"
Next to a town, Aunt Cui asked Wu You very worriedly, they had been out for thirteen days, and they hadn't seen Gu Zheng for thirteen days, which made her very worried.
In the past ten days, I was also depressed, I didn't go out to play alone, and it was very rare to hide and practice by myself.
"No, trust the master!"
Wu You immediately shook his head, in his heart, Gu Zheng was the most powerful, but it was rumored that the monster could fly, at least his master couldn't fly, which made him faintly worried in his heart, but he didn't say it.
"Don't worry, Gongzi is not a reckless person, he is very smart, since he dares to go, he must be sure, otherwise he will not go now!"
Ma Duo said with a smile, don't look at Ma Duo and Gu Zheng for a short time, but he knows Gu Zheng better than Wu You and Aunt Cui, Gu Zheng is too mature, not at all a child should be mature, and Gu Zheng is very smart, just by hearing about it, he concluded that he was deliberately bluffing, which made him admire it very much.
There is also Gu Zheng's means of dealing with him, because he killed more than a dozen people, deliberately killed him once, and then revived him, so that he died once, and it has nothing to do with the past, and at the same time, it also showed Gu Zheng's terrifying ability, so that he no longer had any heart to dare to betray and resist.
Coupled with this period of getting along, he knew that Gu Zheng should not be small, but he would not do things that he was not sure of, so he was very confident in Gu Zheng.
"But that's a youkai!"
Aunt Cui was still not at ease, and said again, and Ma Duo laughed: "That's a monster, yes, don't forget, Gongzi is also an immortal, isn't an immortal just to kill demons?"
In the hearts of many people, in addition to omnipotent, immortals are to remove demons, at this time there are not so many immortals to worship, for many people, where there are monsters, the first thing that comes to mind is immortals.
"That's right, Aunt Cui, let's just wait with peace of mind!"
Ma Duo's words gave Wu You a lot of confidence, Gu Zheng really wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure about, since he went, there would be no problem.
He was also afraid that something would happen to Gu Zheng, he didn't notice that after Ma Duo said this, his eyes naturally flashed with worry.
He is indeed very confident in Gu Zheng, and what he said is true, but thinking of Gu Zheng's previous arrangements, he can't help but be worried, he knows very well that they can only live a good life by following Gu Zheng, and without Gu Zheng, I am afraid that they will be beaten back to their original shape.
Before leaving, Gu Zheng had quietly instructed him, saying that he had secretly lifted the ban on Wu You, only Wu You himself didn't know, if he couldn't come back, let Ma Duo take everyone to find a village to live in seclusion, there was gluttony, no one could bully them.
But gluttony won't follow them all the time, and it will protect them for as long as it lasts.
Ma Duo also asked Gu Zheng what is the possibility that he will not come back, and now Ma Duo still remembers Gu Zheng's answer, Gu Zheng said that the probability that he will not come back is only less than one percent, but even if it is only zero and one percent, he must be prepared not to come back.
Thinking that Gu Zheng said that he was ninety percent sure of eliminating demons, Ma Duo didn't think about it in his heart, but just prayed that Gu Zheng would come back as soon as possible.
"It seems that they still have a lot of confidence in themselves!"
Not far from them, Gu Zheng smiled slightly, his body was hidden again, he had already chased after them, but after finding them, he had a whim, and he didn't appear for the time being, to see what these people would do if he couldn't come back, so that he could better verify people's hearts.
So he hid, not even the little white dragon with him, and no one knew that he was coming back except for gluttony.
There's no way, it's too close, I can't hide it from him, his cultivation is now higher than Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng has asked him to keep it secret, seeing that Gu Zheng is fine, he is very happy, he doesn't care why Gu Zheng let him do this, anyway, what Gu Zheng says, he will do it.
The reason why Gu Zheng did this is very simple, there are too many people, he has limited energy now, and he doesn't want to bring so many people, but he can't drive people away for no reason, use this method to test it, see which people are worth carrying, it doesn't hurt to bring them, it's not worth it, let them find another way to make a living as soon as possible.
Including Ma Duo and Wu You, they are also being tested, and those who are really not tested by Gu Zheng are also gluttonous and Aunt Cui, but the news of his return also did not tell Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui is an emotional person, Ma Duo is very smart, and it is easy to see anything from her.
Gluttony is not worried, Gluttony himself is a child, moody, and has a lot of changes, such a person is the most difficult to be pondered, not to mention, Ma Duo does not dare to test Gluttony more, he has long heard about some of the things Gluttony has done.
Early the next morning, Ma Duo and the others continued to march in the direction of Fucheng, and before leaving, they brought plenty of food, and besides, there were gluttons, and the food was not enough, and the gluttonies were soon able to catch two large prey from the wild, and they had plenty of food along the way.
Twenty days after departure, Wu You was a little anxious, he didn't know that his forbidden Gu Zheng had been quietly removed for him, and he was still worried that it would be a one-month deadline.
It's not just Wu You, Aunt Cui is also anxious, although Ma Duo is better than them, but his doubts are also increasing, twenty days, the monster's nest is not far, they are not walking fast, this is the only way to Fucheng, he also left a mark on the road according to the requirements of Gu Zheng, normally speaking, it should have caught up a long time ago.
Twenty-five days, they were getting closer and closer to the capital city, and there was still no news of Gu Zheng.
Although they don't have to worry about food and clothing, the atmosphere of these people is obviously different, and some people have begun to quietly discuss, Gu Zheng has not succeeded in removing demons, and has been eaten by monsters, they can't go to Fucheng, what if Gu Zheng betrays them, and the monsters catch up and retaliate.
This kind of remark was quickly suppressed by Ma Duo, but he was now clearly worried.
Twenty-eight days, Wu You has been restless, Ma Duo's suppressed remarks, there are signs of raising his head, but Aunt Cui is now a lot more stable, not asking when Gu Zheng will come back, just doing her own thing every day.
Twenty-nine days, Wu You was almost desperate, he took out his waist knife several times and wiped it there, he had tried the pain brought to him by the ban, he was absolutely unwilling to try it a second time, once it happened, he would rather die.
At this time, Ma Duo told him that Gu Zheng had helped him lift the ban.
Wu You was skeptical, but he was still fully prepared, once the January period came, his ban attacked, please Ma Duo help him, kill him directly, and the province will bear that kind of pain.
Thirty days, after a stable pass, Wu You's ban did not attack, and he finally quieted down after being anxious.
However, Ma Duo's previously suppressed remarks raised his head again, and it seems that this time Ma Duo is not easy to control, some people found Ma Duo, saying that they are not going to Fucheng, Tao is a child, let Tao go with them, as long as there is Tao here, they are not afraid of anyone, and they will have a good life in the future.
There are still many such people, and at least three waves of people have found him, all of whom have been reprimanded by Mado.
However, Ma Duo's worries are also getting stronger and stronger, these people only focus on the immediate interests, thinking that it is easy to coax the gluttony as a child, but they don't know at all, even if they take the gluttony, as long as Gu Zheng does not come back for a long time, the gluttony will definitely leave by himself.
Thirty-five days, more and more discussions, Ma Duo gradually has signs of not being able to suppress, this will make everyone have no hope for the ancient dispute, such a long time has not come back, I am afraid that it has encountered an accident, and there are more and more people who are unwilling to go to Fucheng, and some people even propose to return to the old business and continue to be bandits.
Those who raised this point also said that as long as there was gluttony, he was strong enough to destroy any enemy.
Forty days, the team has been stopped for three days, more than half of the people are unwilling to continue to go to Fucheng, and even sent representatives to negotiate with Ma Duo, at this time, Ma Duo can no longer control his original team.
People have selfish intentions, and now life is better, since following the ancient dispute, in the past two months, everyone has eaten a lot of fat, their stomachs can be filled, they don't worry about clothes, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, many people's minds have changed, and they want a better life.
At this time, some people had crooked thoughts.
After two months of getting along, everyone has found out that Gu Zheng's child is too shrewd, not a child at all, and even more shrewd than ordinary adults, but gluttony is different, gluttony's wisdom is at most a teenager, and it is much easier to coax.
The most important thing is that gluttony has power, has the power they desire and envy, as long as they abduct gluttony, they can live the life they want, without food, take gluttony to rob, have whatever they want, and even rob some women to come back to be daughters-in-law, there is no problem.
Greed together, no one can control it.
At the beginning, there was still the prestige that Ma Duo had accumulated, but as time went by, Ma Duo became more and more difficult to suppress, he was the one who firmly carried out Gu Zheng's orders, even if Gu Zheng couldn't come, he would definitely not be a bandit again, this was the bottom line.
"Big brother, everyone is a brother, you don't want to be with us, we understand, but I hope you don't stand in the way of the wealth of the brothers, as long as you give us the little food, we will leave immediately!"
On this day, Mado's men finally officially split with him, sixteen people, and three women, a total of nineteen people, asked to be bandits again, and Mado continued to be their boss if he wanted, and if he didn't, let them leave with food.
They have to take the gluttony away, and without it, there is no life they want.
"No, no way!"
Two groups of people, each standing next to a carriage, confronted each other, and the gluttony would be beside Aunt Cui, as if they didn't understand why these people were fighting for him.
"Childe's power, you don't know at all, Childe's order, I won't disobey it, if you really want to leave, you can go, but there is one point, you are absolutely not allowed to be a bandit again, otherwise don't blame me for carrying out Childe's order!"
Ma Duo almost gritted his teeth and said, Gu Zheng had said before that after these people followed him, whoever wanted to be a bandit again, then he would definitely not spare them.
"Childe was eaten by a monster, big brother, don't have any illusions in your heart, if he hadn't been eaten, with the speed of that white horse, he would have caught up a long time ago, and he wouldn't have waited until today!"
The representative who advocated being a bandit again was still there to persuade Ma Duo: "Big brother, one last question, you take us away, or let the gluttony go with us, choose one of the two!"
"I don't choose any of them!"
Ma Duo shouted angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, two people around him suddenly held him down, and one of them took out a knife and put it on his neck.
"You, you also betrayed me, betrayed Childe!"
Ma Duo was stunned at first, and then became even more angry, struggling there, but unfortunately did not struggle.
Wu You reacted quickly, and after they moved, he immediately came to Aunt Cui's side, took out his waist knife, and looked at them vigilantly, while Aunt Cui was protecting the gluttony, and she was also a little frightened.
Several other people who had been following Ma Duo and were unwilling to be bandits with them were also controlled by these people and tied up with Ma Duo.
Ma Duo didn't expect that there were still their spies around him, and these people began to learn to use stratagems.
can't blame him entirely, these people's usual performance is ordinary, but after all, after following him for so long, some schemes can still be thought of, this time he was also careless, and he trusted the people around him too much, so that he suffered a loss.
But now it is all clear, except for the four men and two women who are still willing to follow him, the rest have betrayed him, and even the three children have been taken away by them, and there are only these six people left on his side, who are willing to follow him no matter what, and are not willing to go with the others.
It's a pity that among these six people, there is no companion left in the same village as him, and that companion at this time is going to be the leader of the bandits, the new big brother.
"Aunt Cui, Wu You, we don't embarrass you, you are willing to follow us, you will have a share in Ronghua's life in the future, if you don't want to, you can go wherever you want, but let Xiao Yu go with us!"
After the man controlled Ma Duo, he said to Wu You and Aunt Cui again, with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he looked at Tao again.
"Glutton, I know a place that is more interesting, there are a lot of big deer there, do you want to go, you want to go, we will go now......"
Before he finished speaking, the whole person flew out screaming, flying out more than ten meters away.
