You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 122 Ambush
The next morning, Zuo Chen and the other two had already boarded the donkey cart, swaying along the country road, heading straight towards the dense forest.

Caiyi sat on the back cart, face to face with Mr. Tang. She leaned her head against the railing of the wooden bed, her mind full of what Zuo Chen had said yesterday.

The dream-telling technique certainly cannot travel such a long distance, and ghosts have to fly within a specific range to tell dreams.

What's more, even if he was really Lu Youwei's father, how could the ghost in Xuzhou know what happened in Youzhou?

Someone else revealed his identity!
A Taoist priest who knew Caiyi's identity? The fortune teller that Lu Youxin met at that time?

The times also don't match up.

Now that Xuzhou has just recovered, there are fewer people leaving than returning. Even if someone really needs to leave Xuzhou, their speed should not be faster than that of Donkey Master.

I can’t figure it out. Caiyi really can’t figure it out.

I wanted to ask Zuo Chen again, but I found that Zuo Chen was just sitting sideways on the donkey's back, looking at the vast blue sky, as if he was thinking. He had no intention of chatting, so I could only put all these thoughts behind me.

Mr. Tang was also worried and hadn't said a word since leaving the town.

Until this moment, he stared at Caiyi for a long time, seemed to have thought about something in his heart, and then seemed to have made some great decision.

Turning to look at Zuo Chen:
"Master, are you really going to the Great Forest?"

"Yes." Zuo Chen came back to his senses and nodded to Mr. Tang, "Gambling Village is a big cancer that disturbs the people. I plan to get rid of that scourge."

"Ah?" Mr. Tang's eyes widened. "Not only are we going to the Great Forest, but we're also going to the gambling village? We're also going to fight? Taoist priest? You are not kidding, are you?"

"I don't tell jokes that aren't funny."

"This... this won't do!" Mr. Tang suddenly blew his beard and glared: "Caiyi can't go!"

"Ah?" Caiyi was confused and didn't know what happened to Mr. Tang.

Seeing Caiyi looking at him, Mr. Tang paused and began to explain stiffly:
"The Great Forest is full of dangers, and entering it depends entirely on luck. Sometimes, woodcutters without any Taoist skills can make a living by chopping wood and hunting in the Great Forest. Sometimes, even masters of the Xiantian Realm have to return with injuries after entering. This gambling village is even more weird. It contains the property of several large dealers in the surrounding area. It is their way of making money, and there are many masters guarding it.

"Master, I know you are very capable, but Caiyi is not. Caiyi still lacks some skills. If she follows us in, it will be too dangerous!"

Zuo Chen heard this and looked at Cai Yi:
"What Mr. Tang said makes sense. I don't know what's going on in the gambling village. Caiyi, how about you and Mr. Tang find a place outside to wait?"

After hearing Zuo Chen's words, Caiyi shook her head like a rattle.

"Last time, you left me alone when you went to kill the thieves, but I can't do that this time! I can't stand by and watch you every time you go to kill the thieves! I want to go with you."

"But it would be really dangerous..."

"I will go even if it's dangerous! And Taoist Priest, I have some skills now, I can definitely take care of myself! If I really feel that I will hinder you, I will definitely turn around and run! Without hesitation!"

Zuo Chen was speechless and turned his head to look at Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang sighed and said, "You naughty boy, why don't you listen? Isn't this for your own good?"

"Old man, I'm different now! Don't always say you're doing this for my own good." Caiyi glanced at Mr. Tang with dissatisfaction: "You may not be more capable than me now!"

After opening his mouth, Mr. Tang said nothing in the end.

I really don’t know how to persuade Caiyi.

I was just feeling depressed as I followed the donkey cart on the journey. Even though there was one more person on the cart, the atmosphere was even more depressing than before.

The scenery along the way is similar. There are no mountains or dense forests, just a flat wasteland. Because there is no water source and no one comes to cultivate the land, I am afraid it will remain barren for some time.

Zuo Chen simply improved the effect of shrinking the earth into an inch and increased the speed.

The donkey cart moved forward for a while, and suddenly saw a tea stall not far away.

Thinking that he should stop for a while and drink some tea, Zuo Chen patted the Donkey Master.

Donkey uncle obediently pulled the cart to the side of the tea stall and stopped.

The group of three entered the tea shed and found that quite a few people had gathered there, and they seemed to be the villagers from the surrounding area.

A woodcutter, an old farmer, a fisherman, and a waiter.

You can also see a pretty country girl sitting alone. Although her skin is a little dark, her face is pure and lovely.

There were just these few people sitting in the teahouse, drinking tea and chatting, it was quite lively.

Zuo Chen and the other two picked an empty seat and sat down. The waiter immediately came over to greet them enthusiastically.

"What would you like to drink, gentlemen?"

"Have a pot of tea, please."

Zuo Chen took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. After seeing the silver, the waiter smiled even more and took it away directly, saying:

"Please wait a moment, I will go and help you prepare."

While the waiter was away, Zuo Chen raised his head slightly and looked around, with a half-smile on his face.

The guests nearby also noticed his gaze and smiled back.

Not long after, the waiter came back with a pot of hot tea.

He first placed three cups on the table and poured tea into them one by one. When he was done, he found that Zuo Chen did not move, but was looking at him with a smile.

"Guest officer?"

"Waiter. We came along the East River and didn't see any villages or towns along the way."

Zuo Chen pointed at the people around him and said with a smile: "These people seem to be quite free. They traveled such a long way to come here to drink tea."

A slight smile began to appear on Xiaoer's face.
"You don't know this, our tea is really good tea!"

As he uttered the last word, the waiter's hand flung outward, and the scalding hot tea was poured directly onto Zuo Chen's face, creating layers of mist in the air!
At the same time, the entire tea shop seemed to come alive, and all the people who were drinking tea and chatting started to move at that moment.

The woodcutter picked up the hatchet beside him, the farmer took out a dagger from his arms, and the fisherman grabbed a big black fish from the fish basket and swung it like a hammer.

The village girl suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and the linen clothes on her body quietly fell off, revealing the brocade silk shirt underneath, which was thin and translucent, and was barely visible.

In an instant, the knife, water, and magic came!

To attack and kill three people!
However, although they were fast, they were far behind Zuo Chen and his two companions.

After coming in, the old veteran Mr. Tang immediately noticed something strange about the tea shop and the air was not right. He touched Caiyi with the back of his hand, and Caiyi reacted immediately.

As for Zuo Chen, he had already used the Qi-observing technique to see his surroundings clearly.

Why are the villagers so angry?
Just a bunch of monsters!
We were already prepared, how could we be ambushed?
Zuo Chen just waved his hand lightly, and the splashed water went back directly to the original path and landed on the waiter, scalding him and making him scream.

The little golden boy poked his head out from his sleeve and blew lightly at the waiter. Immediately, a thick layer of frost formed on the waiter's body. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge ice sculpture on the spot, with his scratching movements carefully engraved.

The woodcutter rushed to the three people, but suddenly saw that Mr. Tang opened his mouth and a flying sword shot out of his mouth. In just one encounter, the woodcutter's neck was pierced by the sword, and he staggered to the ground, holding his throat, and there was no sound.

Caiyi took out the oil lamp from her arms, pointed it at the object and blew hard. The flame suddenly ignited, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire shed.

The farmer who was about to rush forward with a dagger in his hand was spit out in the face and turned into a man of fire, running around everywhere and finally hitting his head on the pillar of the shed.

"Crack!"

"Oh!"

The entire shed collapsed.

It was surrounded by dust and fog, and it was completely ruined!

A gust of wind blew around, dispersing the dust and fog, revealing a ruin.

Zuo Chen and the other two stood together, facing a fisherman holding a big black fish and a woman in gauze.

On the plains nearby, human heads popped out from the tall wormwood grass one after another.

There was a fierce look in their eyes, and they were holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, staring at the three people.

"You are really good at it. You killed three of us who are masters of the day after tomorrow in just one encounter."

The woman flicked the dust off her clothes with her fingers and chuckled, "No wonder someone would pay us so much to kill someone."

Zuo Chen stretched out his finger and pointed around, as if checking the number of people, and then asked:
"What a big fuss! I'm really curious about who hired you to attack us. Are you interested in telling me?"

"We are in the underworld, and we are supposed to keep our mouths shut. You want us to reveal our employer based on one sentence from you? This is one of the worst jokes I have ever heard." The woman laughed coquettishly, "Little Taoist priest, you are so handsome. Now kneel down and lick my feet, and I will not kill you. How about taking you as my mistress?"

She stared at Zuo Chen, her eyes full of provocation.

Now she has an absolute advantage. She is a gifted person, and all the people around her are good fighters. Can't she handle three people?

Zuo Chen sighed, shook his head, and made a Taoist gesture:

"Pity."

"What a pity? What's a pity?"

Before the woman could react, she suddenly felt her hair stand up.

"……boom!"

A flash of thunder flashed past Zuo Chen.

The fisherman holding the black fish was almost unable to open his eyes due to the blinding light.

He covered his eyes with his hands, and after a long time he slowly opened his eyes a crack.

When he looked again, he found that the big black fish in his hand had turned into a piece of charcoal.

He looked around again and saw that all the swordsmen and axemen who had been hiding in the plain were lying on the ground, dying peacefully.

The same thing happened to the woman in gauze, her face was completely burnt, and she no longer looked as beautiful as before!
He was already dead.

The fisherman was so frightened that his knees went weak and he subconsciously leaned back two steps and sat down on the ground.

He was trembling all over and his pants were wet in an instant.

Died in the blink of an eye?!
The information is wrong! The employer didn't tell us to kill such a strong man!

At that time, they said that they only needed to kill one half-innate...

Someone tricked us?!

Seeing Zuo Chen walking towards him with a smile, the fisherman's face became more and more ugly. He trembled uncontrollably and couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy.

Finally, Zuo Chen came in front of him, looking down at him with a smile:
"The girl just now didn't want to talk. Now it's your turn. Are you willing to talk?"

"Ah!" the fisherman cried out, and immediately hugged his head with his arms:
"I say! I say! We were hired by a handsome man!"

Mr. Tang's face beside him changed instantly.

He rushed to the fisherman in two steps and grabbed his leader:

"Who did you say you were?"

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot.

Grandpas, please give me monthly tickets. I’ll kowtow to you all!
