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

Chapter 140 Sending the Soul Home
On the flower boat, the survivors were all terrified, and their knees went weak when they stepped on the ground.

When he looked back at the mountains behind him, although he didn't know what had just happened, he knew clearly that if he had not been able to escape, he would have been buried in the bad water and under the mountains, never to see the light of day again.

They all wanted to thank the girl who rescued them.

But when he turned around, he found that the girl had disappeared and he didn't know where she had gone.

Some sharp-eyed people took out a few soybeans from the deck, but they did not associate these little things with the girl. They just thought that someone had brought them on board accidentally.

The rescued people gathered together to talk, and they all planned to find this capable girl to express their gratitude and build a temple to burn incense. However, after talking for a while, they found that the image they saw was completely different for each person.

Some people said that the person who saved the man was a heroic general, who was cheerful but had a bad temper; some people said that she was a female knight, who loved to laugh and must be willing to help others; others said that she was a fairy who descended from heaven and was extremely beautiful.

Many people argued about the appearance of the rescuer, and as a result, they pieced together eight girls who were dressed completely differently but looked exactly the same.

It's baffling.

On the other side, at an empty spot on the edge of the gambling village, Zhou Miao was squatting on the ground in pain, gasping for breath. His face was pale, he was seriously injured, and he was staggering, as if he was going to faint at the next moment.

Han Bai was lying on the ground not far away. The scholar was frightened and couldn't run far before he tripped over his left foot and fell directly to the ground. He was unable to get up for a long time.

Mr. Donkey standing next to him also had a helpless look on his face.

What do you think he can do?

He's just a donkey.

Just as Donkey was fiddling with his donkey hoof, wondering if his saliva could relieve the pain, his ears suddenly moved and he heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned his head and found that Zuo Chen had come behind him without knowing when.

After taking a look at the situation in front of him, Zuo Chen flicked his fingers lightly, and a stream of spiritual energy flew across the air and landed on Zhou Miao.

Zhou Miao only felt a warm current surging from his body, and his bloody palm began to recover quickly. In the blink of an eye, it grew back to its original appearance, and no injury could be seen.

After doing this, Zuo Chen also put his hand on Master Donkey and injected some spiritual energy into him. Master Donkey's burned mouth healed quickly.

Donkey bowed his head towards Zuo Chen:

"Thank you, sir!"

Zuo Chenduo glanced at him:
"Has your spiritual wisdom been awakened?"

"opened."

"When?"

"That night in Linsen City."

Zuo Chen stared at Lu Ye with an expression that said, "You knew how to speak at that time, why haven't you spoken since then?"

The donkey turned his head away, pretending not to see.

Zhou Miao, who was half-kneeling, finally got up. His face still didn't look very good. The pain just now was raging in his brain, making it almost impossible for him to straighten his back.

But he still bowed to Zuo Chen and thanked him: "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal!"

"You should thank him more." Zuo Chen pointed at the donkey and said, "Someone on the other side of the river just now set up a large formation, and they needed the three sacrifices of Greed, Ignorance and Anger as a trigger to awaken the evil creatures. If it weren't for the donkey..."

Zuo Chen stopped talking here. Zhou Miao's face changed from normal color to white, and then to blue.

His eyes fell on the "痴" (idiot) sign stained with donkey saliva, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

How can't you see that?

It was clearly the pen pal in Kyoto who set a trap for me!
After surviving the disaster, Zhou Miao's obsession with gambling skills suddenly dissipated a lot, and the idea also disappeared almost completely.

In the Qi-Observing Technique, Zuo Chen could clearly see that the original power in Zhou Miao's body began to gradually dissipate, and within a few breaths it had completely disappeared without a trace left.

Zhou Miao straightened his clothes, bowed deeply and respectfully in the direction of Master Donkey, and performed a great ceremony:

"Thank you for your help, Immortal Donkey. If it weren't for you, I would have already set foot on the road to the underworld and walked through the Wangxiang Terrace. One day I will build a temple for you, burn incense, and make a golden statue for you."

"Hey! Please don't." Donkey shook his head in panic: "I don't eat incense. I smelled it when I passed by the City God Temple. It was bitter, astringent and stale. I would be upset if you built a temple for me."

Zhou Miao was slightly stunned.

He once heard a storyteller in a brothel say that the ultimate goal of wild goblins' cultivation was to enter a temple and become a city god. Why did it seem that this donkey guy was unwilling to do so?

Zhou Miao knew nothing about cultivation, and didn't dare to say much, so he asked hurriedly:
"Then, Immortal Donkey, what should I do to repay you?"

"You don't have to repay me," Donkey said as his eyes drifted to the side, landing on Han Bai who was shivering on the ground, and sneered disdainfully:

"But you, little brother, should do more research when you help others in the future. Not everyone is worth your large sums of money."

"what?"

Zhou Miao turned his head in confusion.

Han Bai finally crawled halfway up from the ground, his body covered in dirt and his face pale. After hearing what Master Donkey said, his lips trembled a little.

"I...I really need to treat my sister..."

Hearing this, Donkey snorted. Han Bai shuddered all over, knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhou Miao: "A childhood friend of mine in my village told me that there is a great philanthropist named Zhou nearby who is giving away money. I do have a sister, and she is indeed ill. I am short of money, so I came to you. I...I...I also want to get more money from you so that our family can live a good life."

"this?"

Zhou Miao’s eyes widened. He never thought that his new “friend” would have such thoughts.

"You once brought a friend from our village. His mother needed five taels of silver, but you gave him a hundred taels. In addition to the money for medicine, his family even bought a shop in the village. From then on, they lived a rich life. After seeing this, I was tempted and wanted to get close to you and ask for more silver."

Because Zuo Chen and Lu Ye were watching from the side, the scholar didn't dare to hide anything and just blurted out all his thoughts.

Zhou Miao's face was blank, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Mr. Donkey also added a sentence at the side:
"Zhou boy, I guess that many of the people you helped before probably had the same idea as this scholar. You are rich, but giving away your wealth is not always a good thing. Have you ever thought about what would happen if a group of bandits saw that you have a lot of money, made up a lie, begged for money from you, and bought knives, guns, clubs, and clubs to burn, kill, and plunder? Would you accept the consequences of this or not?"

After hearing what Master Donkey said, Zhou Miao said nothing.

Han Bai just knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Not far away, Caiyi also popped up her head and ran over to Zuo Chen and Lu Ye.

Just when he was about to explain to Zuo Chen that his mission was successfully completed, he saw this incredible scene in front of him and scratched his head:

"Master, what's going on?"

Before Zuo Chen could answer, Donkey snorted beside him:
"I'm teaching the landlord's son to be more careful."

Caiyi heard Donkey Master talking, blinked, and shouted:
"Mr. Donkey! You can talk now!"

"From now on, if you have any idle chatter on the road, you can chat with me, Master Donkey, so that you won't disturb the Taoist priest's peace by talking too much."

Caiyi: "..."

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Miao finally squeezed out a sigh from his throat, lowered his head, and his eyes were complicated:

"How much silver does your sister's illness cost?"

"Seven...seven taels. The medicine from Dongshui Caoxintang costs seven taels of silver."

This time the scholar did not dare to lie.

"Come with me to Dongshui City, and I'll go to Caoxin Hall to buy the medicine for you." Zhou Miao said, then paused: "But you need to come to my house to work as a long-term worker until you pay back the money."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

The scholar breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Zhou Miao again.

After dealing with the matters here, Zhou Miao seemed to have lost something in his heart. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. He stood there for a long time before turning around and bowing to Zuo Chen and his donkey:
"Three immortals, would you please honor me by visiting my humble abode? I would be very sorry if I did not treat you well after saving my life."

Hearing him say this, Zuo Chen waved his hand:

"No, I still have some things to do, so I won't bother Mr. Zhou anymore."

Regret appeared in Zhou Miao's eyes, but he did not try to keep them. After saying goodbye to Zuo Chen and the others, he pulled Han Bai and walked out of the dense forest.

Seeing Zhou Miao's back, the donkey suddenly shook his head and shouted in his direction:
"Hey, Zhou family boy, are you still gambling?"

Zhou Miao, who was walking forward, was slightly startled, then turned back and shouted:
"No more gambling! Never again!"

But at this moment he realized that there was no trace of the two people and the donkey behind him, only a long road illuminated by moonlight.

Zhou Miao was slightly startled, but he shook his head, smiled bitterly, turned around and walked forward.

Never looked back.

……

"Master, where are we going next?"

Caiyi stretched lazily on the back of the donkey cart. Saving people just now had already exhausted her true energy. She needed to lie down for a while and rest.

"Go deeper into the dense forest. I need to send someone home."

Zuo Chen stretched out his palm, and golden light floated in his palm, which was like the flickering candle flame on a candle, and seemed to be about to be blown out by the wind.

Jiu'e only had this one thought left, and Zuo Chen planned to help him complete it along the way.

Caiyi stared at the faint light, curious but not reaching out to touch it.

Then he asked:
"Come to think of it, Taoist priest, Sima Liang in Dongshui City is clearly setting a trap for us. Don't you want to go and ask him for an explanation?"

"Don't worry about that." Zuo Chen smiled and said, "I had already made some arrangements when I left Dongshui City. Calculating the time, that Sima will soon meet his own disaster."

Caiyi was full of doubts and kept scratching her head.

I have no idea what the Taoist priest did.
