Then Kill It.

Mount Zhongnan.

Zhang Mingtuo now chose a secluded hillside with his old lover Liu Xihua, built a hut and lived there, leading a hermit-like life.

It must be said that Zhang Mingtuo would certainly not engage in the man-farming-and-woman-weaving thing, nor would he live off his savings, because his savings were enough to support him until his great-grandchildren.

That evening, the little Taoist nun Nianxin came to Zhang Mingtuo's house holding a jar of wine.

The little Taoist Nianxin saw that the door was open, so she opened her mouth and shouted, "Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Liu, my master dug up a few jars of old wine that he had buried before. He asked me to give one to you."

"Okay, Taoist Qiu still has a conscience." Zhang Mingtuo rolled up his trouser legs and walked out of the vegetable garden in the backyard, saying with a smile: "Nianxin, how about having dinner at Grandpa Zhang's place?"

The little nun Nian Xin shook her head: "No. Mother is still waiting for me to come back."

"Okay. Go ahead then."

Zhang Mingtuo took the jar of wine and when he looked up he suddenly saw a tall man in a robe appear in front of him, so he quickly sent the nun back.

The young Taoist nun Nianxin looked at the tall man strangely, and found that she could not see his face at all. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and left.

"I built my house in a human world, but there is no noise of carriages and horses. What a good place, what a good life."

The face of the man in the burqa was vague, but his voice was very cheerful: "Is this wine specially prepared for me?"

"Then forget it."

Zhang Mingtuo obviously recognized the person, but he didn't look happy: "Why didn't you stay in Southern Xinjiang and run out? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"The Gu Land in Southern Xinjiang has trapped me for more than 40 years. That's enough."

The man in the robe sat down on the stone bench in front of the house, and with a casual hook, he hooked the wine jar that Zhang Mingtuo was holding over to him.

With a casual tap, the mud seal fell off, and the rich and mellow aroma of wine instantly spread.

"Mm, this tastes really good, it must have been buried for at least sixty years." The man in the tunic was not polite at all, he lifted the edge of the jar and poured it into his mouth, "It's delicious, so delicious."

Zhang Mingtuo stood aside with his hands behind his sleeves, watching the man in the robe drinking without any reaction.

"Mingtuo, who is this person?" Liu Xi came out of the house and asked worriedly.

Zhang Mingtuo waved his hand and said calmly, "An old acquaintance, you have nothing to do here, go inside."

"How about..."

Liu Xihua was worried and spoke up.

But before she could finish her words, Zhang Mingtuo interrupted her and gently scolded her, "I told you to come in, stop dawdling, don't you listen to me?"

"Then you be careful." Liu Xihua pursed her lips and decided to do as she was told.

Here, the man in the robe had already drunk half of the jar of wine. He put the jar on the stone table and looked at Zhang Mingtuo: "It's rare that he found a woman, and she looks pretty good."

"Okay, you're not here to reminisce about the past, are you?" Zhang Mingtuo suppressed his unhappiness and asked calmly, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."

The man in the tunic shook his head and said with some disappointment: "Zhang Mingtuo, we have been friends for nearly forty years. Why are you so cold to an old friend?"

Zhang Mingtuo said, "Don't try to get close to me. We just knew each other forty years ago. We don't have any friendship."

"Okay. Since you don't acknowledge this friendship, let's talk about a deal." The hooded man looked at the sky and decided to get straight to the point: "Do you still remember that forty years ago, you promised something?"

"You also said it was forty years ago, so I definitely don't remember it." Zhang Mingtuo pretended to be confused: "I have Alzheimer's disease now, and I can't remember many things."

"Haha, you are just pretending to be confused." The man in the robe exposed him, "Forty years ago, your master took you to the Gu land, don't you remember it?"

"You also met the rising star of the assassin world at that time, Allen, and the leader of the Dark Group, Lu Ren, there. Don't you remember?"

"Also, your first love is still in the Gu Land, don't you remember?"

“…”

Zhang Mingtuo saw that he was getting more and more crazy as he spoke, and probably thought that he was drunk, so he couldn't help but ask coldly, "Are you done?"

"That's about it." The hooded man sighed, "I haven't been out for forty years. You should understand."

Zhang Mingtuo didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense, so he asked again: "What do you want to do with me?"

"I'd like to invite you to go to the Gu Land." The man in the robe said in a dreamy tone, "Your master is still there. You left him there back then. Don't you feel guilty at all?"

Zhang Mingtuo snorted coldly: "He brought this upon himself, why should I feel guilty?"

"I heard that you have a disciple now." The man in the robe couldn't help but sneer: "If one day, he betrays you and leaves you when you are in the most difficult time, will you think this is retribution?"

Zhang Mingtuo laughed: "This kind of thing can't happen."

"It seems that you think highly of your disciple." The robed man chuckled twice and then said, "What a coincidence, she is now interested in your disciple and plans to invite him to visit the Gu Land."

"Haha, then she is seeking her own death!" Zhang Mingtuo said with a sneer.

The burqa man showed a surprised expression: "Aren't you worried?"

"That kid is a monster." Zhang Mingtuo sneered and said disapprovingly: "You are the ones who should be worried. The Gu Clan, which has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years, is probably about to face extinction."

“Hahahaha.” The hooded man laughed wildly and pointed at Zhang Mingtuo and said, “Your master is very arrogant, but you are even more arrogant. I guess your disciple must be even more arrogant than you!”

Zhang Mingtuo said calmly: "You should have sent someone to contact him, right? Didn't you get any feedback on the result?"

"We did send someone over." The man in the robe suppressed his smile. "There's been no response yet, which means your disciple has either been subdued and taken to the Gu Land, or has been eliminated."

"I think you said the opposite." Zhang Mingtuo shook his head and said with some advice: "You shouldn't have provoked that devil. He is lazy but also holds grudges. Since you have already started, I advise you to go back and prepare for your funeral."

The hooded man's face turned cold: "It seems that you don't plan to go back with me?"

"What do you mean by going back?" Zhang Mingtuo said coldly, "I have nothing to do with that place. Besides, you may not be able to go back."

The burqa man had a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when you look back." Zhang Mingtuo shrugged sympathetically.

The man in the tunic suddenly changed his expression, turned around abruptly, and his eyes widened involuntarily: "How could you possibly..."

"You're the idiot who's plotting against me?" Xia Tian said with a nonchalant expression, standing on a stone by the roadside. "Master chef, how come you always get to know this kind of idiot who hides his head and shows his tail?"

Zhang Mingtuo glanced at Xia Tian and said casually: “Don’t open your mouth and close your mouth like an idiot, be polite when you speak.”

"You are Zhang Mingtuo's disciple?" The man in the robe also came back to his senses from his astonishment, "Where is Qingteng? How did you get rid of him?"

"Get rid of him?" Xia Tian curled his lips: "That idiot has been killed by me."

The man in the robe sneered, pointed at Xia Tian and said to Zhang Mingtuo: "You ghost doctors are really more crazy than each other. The green vine has no roots and is immortal."

Xia Tian said with a grin, "What a coincidence. I like to kill things that are immortal."

"Forget it." The man in the robe was too lazy to care about it anymore and said calmly: "Since you and your disciple are here, come with me."

Xia Tian looked at Zhang Mingtuo: "Master, where does this idiot want to take you?"

"Would you like to travel to southern Xinjiang?" Zhang Mingtuo said unhappily.

"Southern Xinjiang, over there in the Tianshan Mountains?" Xia Tian asked.

"No." Zhang Mingtuo replied: "Southwest, the Gu land."

"Oh." Xia Tian nodded, but did not refuse: "That's good. The hometowns of Little Long Legs Girl and Xiao Yiyi's wife are also over there, not too far away."

Zhang Mingtuo said unhappily: "If you want to go, then go ahead. I won't leave anyway."

Xia Tian blinked and said, "Master, have you been there before?"

"It's none of your business." Zhang Mingtuo was too lazy to answer: "If you want to go, then go by yourself. I still want to enjoy my old age in Zhongnan Mountain."

"It's fine if one of you, the master or the disciple, goes." The man in the robe thought Xia Tian was quite cooperative, and said with a smile, "Anyway, every medical school must have at least two people go to the Gu Land."

"Two people?" Xia Tian tilted his head: "Master chef, do you have an illegitimate child secretly?"

Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian and said, "You are the one who has an illegitimate child!"

Xia Tian asked in confusion: "If you don't go, I'll go alone, so why are there two of us?"

The man in the robe smiled and said, "Haha, Zhang Mingtuo, it seems that you didn't tell your disciple about the ghost doctor lineage."

"What is there to say?" Zhang Mingtuo said unhappily, "It's not something that will bring glory to our family. Although Xia Tian is my apprentice, he has nothing to do with the Ghost Doctor lineage."

The burqa man laughed: "That's not up to you."

"Master chef, what story are you hiding from me?" Xia Tian said with a lack of interest: "But forget it, I won't like to hear it even if you tell me."

"Did you know that you have a great master, your master's master?" The man in the robe explained with a smile, "Forty years ago, they encountered some problems in the Gu Land, and your master simply left his master there and ran away. Do you think he did the right thing?"

"Yeah, there's something wrong." Xia Tian yawned.

The burqa man was stunned: "You actually said it was right?"

"I know exactly who the master chef is." Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "Since he abandoned that master and escaped on his own, it means that the master must be a waste and not a good person."

"What right do you have to make such a definition!" the robed man shouted angrily, "You haven't even met your master, and yet you are talking nonsense. It seems that you are also a thief who betrays your master and ancestors!"

Xia Tian was too lazy to say anything more, and just said to Zhang Mingtuo: "Master, if this idiot has nothing to do with you, then I will kill him."

Zhang Mingtuo nodded: "Then let's get rid of it."
