Chapter 982

The sudden change shocked everyone.

No one expected that Tao would suddenly strike, and with a heavy hand. The man who wanted to kidnap Tao failed to do so, and even got himself involved.

These days, Tao's performance is that he likes deer. Even Gu Zheng doesn't know why. When he sees a horse, he will call him a big deer. Maybe the first thing he sees besides fish is a deer. Whenever he sees a deer, he will go there. Chase, but don't kill the deer, just play with the deer.

The man thought he understood Tao's joy, so he went up to coax him, but was slapped out by Tao.

The man lying on the ground vomited a lot of blood clots from his mouth. It seemed that his life could not be saved.

"Xiao Taoist, why?"

The person asking the question was actually Ma Duo. He was already tied up. He raised his head in shock and asked Tao.

"Tie said, as long as someone asks me to go with him and go somewhere else, I will beat him!"

Tao said angrily, while Ma Duo was a little frightened. He didn't expect that Gu Zheng had even arranged this. It was really a good plan.

They are both children, but they still look the same. Compared to these two children, they are simply worlds apart.

"He's dead, Mr. Ma is dead!"

The man who was beaten away by Tao couldn't hold on and died. He was leaderless. Those who wanted to become bandits again didn't know what to do.

Ma Duo looked at him, feeling a little sad in his heart.

A village was plagued by monsters. Four of them ran away. Later they worked for others and one of them was beaten to death. After that, there were three of them left. Another one died when he was a bandit. This is the only companion left. Now Also died here.

"Untie me!"

Ma Duo suddenly roared, and the two people looking at him didn't know what to do. Someone originally took them, but now the person taking them is dead. It is obvious that they can no longer take Tao with them to rob the house. Now when Ma Duo roared, the two of them shivered and stretched out their hands to relieve themselves.

"etc!"

A childish voice suddenly stopped them. Ma Duo turned his head sharply and looked ahead in horror.

In the carriage just in front of him, Gu Zheng opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Tao quickly came to his side, and Gu Zheng naturally took his hand.

Aunt Cui and Wu You were also full of surprises. Gu Zheng was back, really back. Gu Zheng, who originally had no hope, suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Mr. Gongzi!"

Ma Duo also said with a trembling voice. Everyone was startled when they saw Gu Zheng. They all stood there and did not dare to move. Gu Zheng was not a glutton. There was no use in coaxing him, especially those who wanted to leave and go back to their own country. Bandit people.

"Ma Duo, do you know your mistake?"

Gu Zheng did not let the two men untie Ma Duo's rope, but came over to question him. Ma Duo's eyes widened and he seemed a little aggrieved, but he quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Ma Duo knows his fault!"

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"The mistake is that they are soft-hearted. When they have the idea of ​​becoming bandits again, they should cut the knot quickly and punish those who have such thoughts first, so that no one will dare to be greedy!"

Ma Duo said slowly, Gu Zheng said from the beginning that they can follow, but after following, they are absolutely not allowed to do anything harmful to nature, let alone be a bandit again. If they violate it, they will not be leniently punished. .

By suggesting that they want to become bandits again, they have already violated the precepts and should be punished at that time.

If he had been ruthless at that time and dealt with these people who had such thoughts, there would not have been so many people following him. So he said that his mistake was that he was soft-hearted. He was indeed soft-hearted this time, and the result was that It's a big mistake. Under the instigation of these few people, many people have become greedy, and then it is difficult to get them back.

Desire is something that, once turned on, is difficult to turn off.

"It's good that you know you were wrong, but what should you do next?"

Gu Zheng said lightly that although Ma Duo's performance made him not so satisfied, at least he obeyed his orders and did not dare to betray himself. Even if he lost confidence, he did not betray himself. Wu You did the same. The two of them were considered to have passed passed his test.

What surprised Gu Zheng was that there were actually six people following Ma Duo. Whether they kept their orders in mind or simply admired Ma Duo's personal charm, at least they had not made any mistakes, so Gu Zheng would not drive them away and would still be there. Take them with you.

"Sir, please, please spare them, they are just bewitched!"

Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Ma Duo suddenly became anxious. Regardless of being tied up, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Zheng. He was a smart man and immediately understood what Gu Zheng meant.

The other people who participated in the opposition to Maduo were also frightened, and they all knelt there.

"Ma Duo, you are very smart, but your weakness is that you are too soft-hearted. This is an advantage and a disadvantage!" Gu Zheng sighed and continued: "They betrayed you and have made a big mistake. If you spare them today, they Instead of being grateful to you, I will resent you, do you understand?"

This is also the evil part of human nature. Sometimes you are kind enough to help him, but he really doesn't miss you.

"Don't worry, young master, they will never do it!" Ma Duo was still kowtowing.

"No, okay. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Except for those three children, each of them will break a leg and let them fend for themselves!"

Gu Zheng sighed again. Ma Duo raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng in shock. Although such punishment did not kill them, it was not much different from killing them.

At this time, they are helpless. If they don't follow themselves and Guzheng, no matter where they go, they will only be bullied by others and have to return to the days of starvation. The key is that they also have a broken leg. You can't do anything you want, and you can only wait to starve to death in the end.

"Sir, we were wrong, please, please spare us!"

Now those who had betrayed were also panicked, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy. They expelled them and even broke one of their legs to expel them, which was equivalent to killing them.

"Ma Duo, are you going to disobey my order?"

Gu Zheng lowered his voice and looked at Ma Duo, who kowtowed and begged for mercy, begging Gu Zheng to let them go and not to do this.

"Master, Ma Duo knows that he is wrong. Ma Duo is willing to trade his life for them to follow the master. Master, please spare them this time!"

Ma Duo was already crying. Even though Ma Duo was so big and thick, who would have thought that he had the heart of a holy mother. Not even Gu Zheng could say anything about him.

"Your life, your life belongs to me. Forget it. If you say so, let them go. But I can't let those who disobey me continue to follow. From now on, they have nothing to do with you. They can go wherever they want. No matter where you go, leave them alone!”

Gu Zheng sighed heavily and finally spared them again.

Ma Duo also wanted to speak for them, but Gu Zheng glared back. Ma Duo also understood at this moment that Gu Zheng would definitely not want these people. He did not break their legs as punishment, which was already a mercy.

In desperation, Ma Duo could only tell them one by one. After these people begged several times to no avail, they also understood their fate and could only leave in tears. Even so, when they left, there were still two people. They looked at Gu Zheng with jealousy.

Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly and his hands rubbed unnaturally.

Ma Duo is too kind-hearted. In this regard, he is not as good as Wu You, but overall he is a good person. Gu Zheng is quite satisfied with him. Ma Duo doesn't know that Gu Zheng originally just wanted to get rid of these people. Thinking of breaking their legs.

The reason why I say this is to make these people truly grateful to Ma Duo, but even after this, some people are still dissatisfied.

They will not think about their own faults. They will only blame others, Gu Zheng, and Ma Duo. Once such people have the opportunity, they will not be grateful to Ma Duo. Instead, they will think of harming him, or even Gu Zheng. fight.

Gu Zheng is not afraid of them, but many years of experience tell him that no matter how weak a person is, they cannot be despised. Maybe one day they will be able to stab him at a critical place. Gu Zheng is not an inexperienced child. He has practiced to a certain level before. Holy, you know how to deal with such people.

Everyone was driven away. After obtaining Gu Zheng's consent, Ma Duo gave each of them a lot of dry food. Anyway, they took as much as they could. If Gu Zheng didn't agree, he would have given the carriage to them. them.

After these people left, the entire team suddenly became deserted. There were only eleven people left in total, including Ma Duo and his seven friends, including Gu Zheng, Tao Wu You and Aunt Cui. They also had two carriages. These two carriages can hold more things.

"You guys wait here, I'll bring Little White Dragon back!"

Gu Zheng said something to them and left alone. From a distance, he saw the people leaving. The two people with resentful and jealous eyes were holding the others and talking there.

Gu Zheng didn't get close at all, and his speed suddenly increased, so fast that others couldn't see him.

"Why did there suddenly come a gust of wind?"

One person called out in confusion and touched his neck. He only felt a little itchy on his neck, but nothing else.

"It's okay, let's continue. If that guy doesn't give us a way to survive, we can't just leave. Aren't they going to Fucheng? Let's spread the news that he and the monsters are in the same group. He himself is a monster who lives with humans. The bastard who came down, that’s why he’s so powerful, ah…”

As the man was talking, he suddenly screamed, his eyes turned white, his body kept twitching, and he died soon after.

Another person was asking him what was going on. Like him, he died not long after. These two people were the two people Gu Zheng noticed just now. They really had no good intentions and wanted to go to Fucheng to ruin their reputation. They were very evil-hearted. Vicious.

It's a pity that they met Gu Zheng. After Gu Zheng knew that they had bad intentions, his outcome was doomed.

The death of the two people frightened the others. Everyone knelt there and begged for mercy. At this moment, they remembered Gu Zheng's identity. Gu Zheng was an immortal. If he slandered the immortal behind his back, the immortal must know it, so he killed them. two.

The death of the two men was a wake-up call for these people, and no one dared to think of doing harm to Gu Zheng and Ma Duo.

Gu Zheng brought Xiao Bailong back, and at the same time took away everything from Xiao Bailong. There was nothing in the monster cave, and he gained a lot from the monsters.

"Wu You, what do you think of this bow?"

Gu Zheng handed Wu You a long bow. The bowstring was made of the tendons of the snake demon. The bow hand was made of old pine wood. It felt very good to hold. With his bone arrows, this bow was quite powerful. It was more powerful than ordinary bows. Much better.

"Good bow!"

Wu You took the bow and tried it a few times, then grinned. Looking at him, Gu Zheng thought of another bow, Hou Yi's sun-shooting bow. However, Hou Yi was a witch clan and the leader of a great witch. I don’t know where it is now.

Normally, Hou Yi should have been there by this time. There was only one sun in the sky. I don’t know if it was shot by him or if the other suns didn’t come out to cause trouble.

"Master!"

Ma Duo also came over, still a little depressed. It's okay for Ma Duo to be in a good mood, but it's not good to be too good. If you are nice to everyone, you will suffer sooner or later.

"Let's go, let's go to the city!"

Gu Zheng said softly. His goal has been achieved, and there is no need to hide himself. This place is not far from the city. His ultimate goal is to go to the city to find more resources to help him practice.

On the way, Gu Zheng briefly described the process of exorcising the monster this time. After talking about so many bones, Ma Duo and the others gritted their teeth. After seeing the snake skin of the python, they all widened their eyes and stroked it carefully.

This python skin is a good thing. It is soft and hard, almost invulnerable to swords and guns. It can protect itself by making leather armor, but it can only block the weapons of mortals. It is useless for cultivators and powerful monsters.

A large python skin is enough to make nine sets of leather armor. After Gu Zheng cut it, he asked Aunt Cui to make them, one for each person, including Aunt Cui herself. More than 30 people are definitely not enough, but nine people are enough, which gives them an extra layer of protection.

With such leather armor, they can protect their heads, and even if someone shoots arrows, they can't be killed.

The monster's python skin was actually made into leather armor for them. Everyone, including Ma Duo, was very surprised and thanked them repeatedly. This can be regarded as a reward given to them by Gu Zheng, a reward for resisting temptation.

Aunt Cui wanted to make one for him and Tao, but he refused. They don't need such python skin. There is no difference between having it and not having it if it can threaten them. If it can't threaten them, they don't need it, and it's uncomfortable to wear, so it's better not to wear it.

After Xiao Bailong came back, he could make another carriage. Three carriages, eleven people, actually nine adults and two women, can all take the carriage to travel. No one walks, everyone rides in the carriage, and the speed is much faster. Ten days later, they came to Longhu Town.

Longhu Town is next to a large lake. It is rumored that there is a dragon in the lake, so it is called Longhu Town.

The residents of Longhu Town are different from other villagers. They are like fishermen, following the example of Dayu. Longhu Lake is not small, equivalent to the size of Dongting Lake on Earth in the future, which is enough to support a village.

With this lake, the weather is good, and there are many people in Longhu Town, with 3,000 households and tens of thousands of people. It is also the largest town outside the city. It is very close to the city. It takes two days to get there by horse carriage.

Longhu Town is different from other villages and towns. It not only has city walls, but also streets and even shops. It is more like a small city, but the city walls are very low, at most ten feet high, mainly to block some wild beasts.

There are also special inns in the town, because it is close to the city and it is the only way to the city. In addition, there are some vendors coming and going. There are many outsiders here, which is very lively, so there are inns. At the same time, there are shops specializing in purchasing items. If you have anything, you can sell it. If you want something, you can give it to me. You can also sell it for gold and silver, and use the gold and silver to buy better things.

"Sir, look, silver, so much silver!"

Wu You and Ma Duo went together to sell some of their inventory and exchanged them for silver. This was also Gu Zheng's request. After they arrived in the city, silver would be more convenient to use.

After coming here, they have accumulated hundreds of furs, as well as many high-quality animal bones, teeth and other things. There is not much dried meat, most of which were replaced on the road. Eating meat all the time is also tiring.

These furs were mostly hunted by gluttons. In the end, they sold more than fifty taels of silver. Wu You was very excited to hold a few large ingots of silver in his hand. He had never seen so much silver.

"You are so excited about this little bit. I see you will have more in the future!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He really didn't care about more than fifty taels of silver. Let alone more than fifty taels, fifty thousand taels, and five hundred million taels. In his eyes before, they were no different from dirt. He would not pick them up when he saw them.

At that time, silver was of no use to him at all.

Wu You didn't care what Gu Zheng said, still laughing. After selling the things, the group moved directly into the inn. They asked for four rooms in total, one for Gu Zheng and Tao, one for the two women and Aunt Cui, and the remaining two for the six men.

"Have you heard that the Dragon God appeared again?"

"Really? Why don't you go and make a wish?"

"I've been there, and I hope my wish will come true this time!"

"No, I want to go too!"

After Gu Zheng and his group settled down, they just came out to eat and heard people talking about it. Longhu Town relies on Longhu Lake. There has always been a legend of the Dragon God in Longhu Lake, but no one has ever seen the Dragon God.

"Dragon God?"

Gu Zheng shook his head secretly. He knew that the Dragon Clan was a large clan among the demon clans and had always had a good relationship with human immortals. Several powerful dragon kings of the Dragon Clan had the strength of Daluo Jinxian.

Dragons can be found everywhere in the prehistoric world. They usually live alone or in a family. Most people don't know much about dragons. When they see a dragon, they call it the Dragon King. As a result, the Dragon King has become so popular. The one who lives in the lake is the Lake Dragon King, the one who lives in the sea is the Sea Dragon King, the one who lives in the river is the River Dragon King, and even the one who lives in the well is the Well Dragon King.

However, one thing is true. Dragons are born with great strength. After they have their spiritual wisdom, they will become the overlords of one side and are unwilling to be inferior to others. Therefore, wherever there are dragons, they will gather some water creatures to be their subordinates, just like occupying the mountains as the king. They are occupying the water as the king.

Gu Zheng knows about the dragons, so he knows that there is no Dragon God, and it is useless to make a wish to the Dragon God. It is just a psychological comfort for ordinary mortals.

As for their claims that there is a dragon god or a dragon clan here, Gu Zheng doesn’t really believe it. If there is a dragon clan here, the dragon clan will definitely not allow so many people to live next to him. Each dragon clan has a strong desire for territory. If there were dragons, they would have been killed or driven away long ago.
