Chapter 991

With Ma Duo's temperament, if he really went to cultivate immortality, Gu Zheng didn't know whether he would help him or harm him. He could be kind, but he couldn't be blindly kind. People had already rebelled against him, and he had to plead for them and spare them.

Facts have proved that not everyone he spared was grateful to him. Some even wanted to frame him and slander him before. So Gu Zheng was indeed hesitant about whether to bring Ma Duo into the ranks of immortal cultivators. If he still maintained this temperament after cultivating immortality, Gu Zheng could only say that he would be killed by this temperament sooner or later, and he would die miserably.

As an ordinary person, Ma Duo could still reincarnate even if he died, but once he cultivated immortality to a certain extent and was killed by someone, his body and soul would be destroyed and he would never be reborn.

"But I decided to give you one more chance!"

Looking at the frustrated Ma Duo, Gu Zheng said again. Ma Duo raised his head suddenly. This moment was like a roller coaster for him, up and down, making him almost collapse.

"Young Master..."

"Don't talk first. You can practice immortal cultivation, but you have to go through a test. Otherwise, it's better to stay the same!"

Gu Zheng interrupted Ma Duo. Ma Duo listened quietly. Gu Zheng continued, "You will leave the city tomorrow and go to find those men who left before to see what they are doing. If there are people who violate the ban, you just need to execute them. Can you do it?"

Gu Zheng was talking about those people who wanted to be bandits last time and wanted to take Tao away. The main culprit was killed by Tao, and the two who showed jealousy on the spot were also killed by Gu Zheng. The rest were let go.

Now that such a long time has passed, these people have no one to rely on, and they have lived a life of worry-free food and clothing with Gu Zheng. If they are asked to work hard again and still can't fill their stomachs, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

This time in the stone pavilion, Gu Zheng brought back three marrow cleansing pills. The effect of the marrow cleansing pill is the same as that of the marrow cleansing food cultivation. Both can cleanse the marrow and thin the bones. With the marrow cleansing pill, Ma Duo has the hope of practicing immortal cultivation.

Gu Zheng has already arranged for the other two of these three marrow cleansing pills, one for Wu You and one for Aunt Cui. Wu You is a very good agent and he was the first person to follow him. This opportunity can be given to him. As for Aunt Cui, it was planned long ago.

Ma Duo asked Gu Zheng to hesitate, but there was no suitable person except Ma Duo, so he gave him this opportunity temporarily and waited for him to complete this test before making a decision.

"Yes!"

Ma Duo hesitated a little, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed. He was also struggling. He was not afraid of dying for his brothers, and he was willing, but now he had to choose between an opportunity to cultivate immortals and punishing his brothers who violated the ban. I'm afraid he could only choose the first one.

When they followed Gu Zheng, they all swore that they would never become bandits again. At that time, they only thought that they would definitely be full if they followed the immortals, and they would not become bandits. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen later.

After that time, they were equivalent to breaking their promise, but at least they did not do it, and they were still in the imagination stage. At that time, Ma Duo also thought about what he should do if they really became bandits again.

It seems difficult to really kill them, but Ma Duo is unwilling to let them continue to harm people. He was very entangled at the beginning. After thinking about it once, he stopped thinking about it. He didn't expect to face this choice again now.

Ma Duo went out, and Wu You was called in by Ma Duo.

Gu Zheng didn't have so many arrangements for Wu You. Wu You was not a pedantic and kind-hearted person like Ma Duo. Wu You was smart and capable. Being Gu Zheng's agent made Gu Zheng very happy. Wu You also passed the test last time. It's not to say that he is particularly loyal, but at least when faced with a choice, he chose himself.

When he told Wu You that he could cultivate immortality, Wu You opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, and finally thanked him excitedly.

Cultivating immortality and becoming an immortal is also his biggest dream. Now this dream finally has a chance to come true.

Wu You handed him the marrow cleansing pill directly, asked him to go back to the room to take it, and prepared a bucket, toilet, marrow cleansing and bone cleansing, clearing the meridians again, and removing most of the impurities in the body, so that this body has the foundation for cultivating immortality.

This process is very painful, and it will take a long time.

But if you want to become an immortal, you must first endure this pain. If you can't even endure such pain, what's the point of cultivating immortality?

Aunt Cui was the same. Gu Zheng told her the precautions. Aunt Cui was also excited. She and Wu You returned to their own rooms and soon took the marrow cleansing pill.

In the afternoon, everyone in the Wu Mansion heard the screams of Wu You and Aunt Cui, which made people shudder. However, Ma Duo knew that this was a new life for the two. After this day, they will be brand new tomorrow. This made Ma Duo more envious and firmed his own ideas.

Ma Duo left, riding a horse and taking some silver. No one was with him, only he, so he could only do this.

After Ma Duo left, Gu Zheng stood in front of the window, holding the Book of Life and Death in his hand. A name was displayed on the Book of Life and Death, a bandit who had followed him and finally rebelled and left, Ma Duo's men.

This name is red. He has already taken three lives. It is conceivable how these three lives died. If Ma Duo doesn't kill him this time, he will be killed by him. This is also Ma Duo's fate. However, Ma Duo's life span is not that short, but this person's life span is not long.

The sky was repaired, and the big guys of Buzhou Mountain returned. The people of the world returned to normal. It seems that everything is calm, but the storm often comes after the calm.

The only one who knows all this, except the Three Pure Ones who have been planning for a long time, is probably Gu Zheng.

Daozu Hongjun should also know, but he would never ask about such a thing.

"Tie, chase me, chase me quickly!"

In the air, Tao stepped on a black knife and flew quickly, while Gu Zheng stepped on an immortal sword. He got the immortal sword from the Taoist priest. I don't know how the Taoist practiced it. His cultivation level is not low, and he has already reached the stage of returning to the void. In the early days, all he had was a low-level immortal sword, which was inferior to even the immortal cultivators on earth.

Not to mention the prehistoric times of later generations, even if the human race is not very powerful now and is still dominated by the two Lich clans, he is after all an immortal who has returned to the realm of virtual reality. Even if he finds the raw materials by himself, he can forge an intermediate immortal weapon. It's just such a low-level fairy weapon, really shabby.

It's a pity that Gu Zheng doesn't even know his name, so he doesn't know why he is like this.

"You are a top-level immortal weapon, I am a low-level immortal weapon, and your cultivation level is higher than mine. If you ask me to chase you, you are purely cheating!"

Gu Zheng said helplessly to Tao, although Tao used a knife, but his level was there, and his speed was naturally not slow. Tao was stronger than Gu Zheng, and had more immortal power. To compare speed, Gu Zheng Definitely no match for him.

"Haha, you finally lost once!"

Tao laughed happily. During this period, Tao has grown up a lot, his intelligence is getting higher and higher, and his behavior in all aspects is basically the same as that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. If this continues, it will probably not take a few years for him to think. It's almost the same as adults.

Gu Zheng cannot say whether this kind of growth is good or bad. The good thing is that he has become smarter and understands more. The bad thing is that his childhood seems to have passed by just like that.

If Gu were to be elected, I would rather have him know less and have more childhood happiness, but unfortunately this is no longer possible.

"Longhu Town, wait, let's go down and take a look!"

As we were flying, we somehow arrived at Longhu Town. Standing at a high altitude, we could clearly see the lake. There was also an eel demon in the lake next to Longhu Town. At first, Gu Zheng didn’t know the character of this eel demon. I almost killed him secretly, but later the misunderstanding was resolved and another deal was made, using the dragon ball in exchange for the book of life and death.

Now passing by here, Gu Zheng suddenly remembered it and wanted to see it.

Today's Gu Zheng is in the middle stage of Qi Transformation. As a real immortal, the eel demon failed to transform in the first place. Even with the Dragon Ball, its cultivation will not recover so quickly. At this time, the eel demon is no longer a threat to Gu Zheng.

The two people fell from the air quickly, one after the other, and directly into the water. Some people only saw two black dots falling from the air, and they landed on the lake in the distance. They could not see what they were.

Without the Dragon Ball, Gu Zheng used the Water Control Technique, but Tao didn't use anything. He just held his breath and went on. Now Tao can hold his breath for an hour or two without any problem.

It was still the same underwater. Gu Zheng soon arrived at the eel demon's lair. The mud was still there, but the eel demon was not here, and no trace of it was found elsewhere on the bottom of the lake.

I originally wanted to catch up with the eel demon and show off that I had been promoted, but I was a little disappointed when he wasn't there.

The eel demon was not there, but there were a lot of fish in the lake. Gu Zheng simply caught a big fish and took Tao back to the shore. Without going far, he set up a grill on the shore to grill the fish.

Although there are not many raw materials, the grilled fish made by Guzheng still tastes so delicious.

A big fish, the two of them ate it all, and then they were ready to go back.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's late, you all ate it all!"

As soon as the two stood up, a figure fell from the sky. Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand unnaturally touched the Immortal Killing Gourd.

The power of the incoming immortal is surging, but no matter whether it is flying or landing, it does not cause any fluctuations. The power is controlled extremely well. This is an ability that only golden immortals have. The person in front of him is at least a golden immortal.

The person who came was wearing gray coarse cloth. He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall. He was a skinny old man with black and white hair. He had no beard, but his face was full of wrinkles. He was just an ordinary old man in the town outside. No one would have thought of this. He is a powerful immortal.

"It smells so good, who made this fish?"

The skinny old man looked at Gu Zheng and Tao and asked with a smile.

"I made it. If you want to eat it, I can bake it for you, but you have to answer my question first!"

Gu Zheng answered directly that the old man didn't show any malice, and Gu Zheng didn't intend to anger him. He was just testing to see if he really came for food or for the two of them.

Although no one knew about the demonic energy, Gu Zheng still had to guard against it.

"Ask me!" the skinny old man replied generously.

"You are a majestic immortal. You just flew from the sky, so you are not afraid of disturbing mortals?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zheng felt a little depressed. He and Tao were eating fish and did not show any immortal power. As a result, disaster fell from the sky and a powerful immortal fell like this. Is it possible that immortals today are so casual? ?

"Mortals, you two dolls are constantly chasing each other in the air. Forgive me, Qingmeng, for not settling a score with you. How dare you call yourself a mortal?"

The skinny old man went back unceremoniously. Gu Zheng and Tao Ze looked at each other. Neither of them expected that someone was actually staring at them while they were chasing in the air.

At that time, they didn't realize it at all. If this person had any evil intentions, the two of them might be in trouble. His strength was definitely much stronger than the two of them.

"Since you have discovered us a long time ago, why did you come just now when the fish was roasted?"

Gu Zheng asked again. Since the other party had discovered the two of them a long time ago and wanted to eat grilled fish, he could come down when the fish was being grilled or just after it was grilled. If he wanted to eat at that time, they would not be able to stop him.

"You think I thought, if something happened to that little loach, I would have been here long ago!"

The skinny old man wiped his nose and continued: "You are a treacherous kid. You promised to roast me after only asking one question, but you asked one more question. Hurry up and roast me, or I will spank you!"

"Little loach?"

Gu Zheng frowned. What kind of loach could make such a strong man care? Gu Zheng immediately thought of the disappearing eel demon.

"Are you talking about the eel that was originally in this lake?"

Gu Zheng asked again, but this time the skinny old man did not answer, but waved his hand: "Bake the fish immediately. I will tell you when it is done. I won't tell you if it is not good or if it tastes bad!"

This skinny old man actually used this threat. Gu Zheng had no choice but to catch fish first.

But this also made him feel a little more relieved. From the current point of view, the old man didn't have any malicious intentions. He really did. He had a chance to catch the two of them directly.

Gu Zheng caught another big fish and grilled it there. Seeing that Gu Zheng had no condiments, the skinny old man took out a box with various condiments. The way he took out the things seemed like Gu Zheng was a little frustrated knowing that he had a magical storage device.

He can only keep a lot of things at home now, and he can take too little with him. This is the disadvantage of not having a magic storage device.

With the condiments, the grilled fish tastes better. After a while, the fragrant grilled fish came out of the oven.

"It smells so good, so fragrant, so delicious, so delicious!"

The skinny old man was not polite at all, he just caught it and ate it, regardless of the two children Gu Zheng and Tao watching, he gobbled it up by himself, and in a moment, he ate the whole fish, which weighed more than ten kilograms. Only the fish bones remained.

"That's right, you baby, despite your young age, your cooking skills are not bad. I kind of like it from the looks of it!"

After eating, the skinny old man wiped his mouth with satisfaction, grinned and said.

"Can you talk about Loach?" Gu Zheng asked again. He somewhat understood what this man meant. Seeing that he was good at cooking, he wanted to take him in. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng would not follow anyone at all. He originally I am here to experience the process of becoming a saint through the life of Tie Xian. How can I experience it if I follow others.

The former Tiexian had never followed anyone, and Gu Zheng still knew this.

Besides, Gu Zheng wasn't used to being someone else's servant. No matter who he was, even if he was Taoist Hongjun, he didn't want to.

"That loach got a mirage dragon bead from somewhere. He tried to swallow the dragon bead without knowing what he could do. He had the blood of the dragon clan, but he was bitten by the dragon bead and almost became a demon. I happened to be passing by here and saw the merits looming on the loach. I couldn’t help but help him!”

The skinny old man picked his teeth with a fish bone while talking. Sure enough, the loach he was talking about was the eel demon. He just didn't expect the eel demon to start devouring the dragon beads so quickly, and he went crazy.

But it seems that the eel demon is very lucky to meet this old man to protect it. Gu Zheng also understands the merits mentioned by the old man. It must be that the eel demon has saved many people and is enshrined as a dragon god here. The merit power of practice has been accumulated.

This can be regarded as good people will be rewarded, no, good monsters will be rewarded.

Knowing that the eel demon was fine for the time being, Gu Zheng was relieved. The old man's true state was unclear to Gu Zheng, but his strength was unfathomable. Since he said so, he should have rescued the eel demon, even if the eel demon did not swallow it. Dragon Ball, life will be fine.

"Little doll, what do you think? Come with me. You two are not very old, but your talents are extremely high. If you practice with me, I guarantee that you will be better than the people I am following now!"

The skinny old man saw that Gu Zheng didn't answer, so he could only take the initiative to invite him. He really liked Gu Zheng and Tao.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, our brothers have no plans to leave for the time being!"

Gu Zheng clasped his fists and refused. Knowing that the eel demon was fine, he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he pulled Tao away and left.

"Hey, there are still people who dare to reject me. I want to say that no one dares to reject me. Do you believe it?"

The skinny old man suddenly laughed and suddenly came to the front of Gu Zheng, blocking them.

Gu Zheng pulled Tao back together, and his expression became serious and more alert.

"We don't want to go. Could it be that Senior is still planning to use force to attack my two children?"

"You're such a sharp-tongued kid. So what if I catch you today? Even if there's someone behind you, I'll just catch you. There's nothing they can do!"

The skinny old man still had a sinister smile on his face, Gu Zheng became more vigilant, took Tao back two steps, and suddenly put down the Immortal Killing Gourd.

"This gourd looks familiar?"

The skinny old man looked at the gourd that Gu Zheng put down and said something puzzled. As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed and he looked at Gu Zheng fiercely.

The ancient struggle has begun for the life and death book. The life and death book is an innate treasure with strong defensive capabilities. Unfortunately, he does not know who the old man is and his birth date, otherwise the life and death book would be enough to eliminate him.

Gu Zheng had already clasped his fists and bent over. He would not let himself fall into any danger. Even if the old man did not harm him, it would not be enough to just take him away. If he was taken away by force, he would be his enemy. Facing him Gu Zheng has never shown mercy to his enemies.

"Wait, little baby, don't mess with me, misunderstanding!"

Seeing that Gu Zheng had already bent down, the skinny old man got anxious. After shouting, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Gu Zheng. The Book of Life and Death burst out with dazzling light, blocking the skinny old man's hand.

However, the Book of Life and Death could not block for long, as Gu Zheng's strength was too low.

"Lu Ya's Immortal Slashing Flying Knife, a congenital treasure, what is your origin, kid? I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you..."

The skinny old man shook his head and sighed, but his body flew away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Gu Zheng had already bent down. Once that sentence was spoken, he could not resist it. A hero would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he had to run quickly, otherwise he would lose his life here.

After he made a move, Gu Zheng also realized his strength. He was a late Golden Immortal, but he was actually a master of the late Golden Immortal. He didn't know who this old man was. He actually recognized the Immortal Slashing Gourd, but if he didn't recognize it, he might really be buried here today.
