Someone actually settled in this ruined temple on a barren mountain early, and everyone in the group couldn't help but become wary.
When you go out, sometimes people are more terrifying than beasts.
Zhou Shaoyang walked courageously first.
There are more than a dozen third-level players in their group, and unless they encounter experts above the fourth level, it is difficult for anyone to threaten them.
"Friends in the temple, do you know if there is room for you inside?" Zhou Shaoyang asked loudly.
If you don't say hello in advance, you may be attacked as an enemy by the other party. This is a matter of etiquette when going out.
The conversation inside suddenly disappeared, and after more than ten breaths, an old voice came:
"We have just entered this temple. There is enough space inside. Friends outside, you can do whatever you want."
After hearing this, Zhou Shaoyang brushed off the broken spider web in front of him, and then opened the temple door with a "squeak", revealing the scene inside:
A brass Buddha statue as tall as one person fell to the ground. One of the hands of the Buddha had been broken and it was unknown where it fell. There were obvious cracks on both sides of its originally pursed mouth, which looked like a grin, exuding
It smells weird.
Surrounding the bronze statue are some broken wooden shelves, dark red candlesticks without candles, and gray incense burners covered with dust...
In a corner of the ruined temple, there were about a dozen people sitting, all looking towards the door at the same time.
Thirty pairs of eyes met instantly, and both parties felt slightly relieved.
In the eyes of Liu Mang and others, the dozen or so people in the temple can be roughly divided into two types of people, and none of them look vicious.
A kind of person wearing a white top, black trousers, a red belt tied in the middle, and a yellow hat on his head. He is obviously a dart boy.
The other one is a bit mixed, including an old man in brocade, a little girl with twin tails, and a servant in gray robes, closely surrounded by bodyguards, who should be employers.
From the perspective of those in the temple, Liu Mang and his entourage were all handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in brocade clothes and with extraordinary temperament. They were obviously buddies who had joined together to travel together.
For escorts, the most fearful thing is to encounter rough and rude people. Young masters are usually reasonable people.
Zhou Shaoyang acted as the liaison between the two parties, cupping his fists and saying: "We will rest on the other side."
The old man in rich clothes who was surrounded by escorts smiled and said: "This ruined temple is a land without an owner. Young heroes, please do what you want."
So Liu Mang and his party sat down in another corner of the ruined temple, opened the package and started eating dry food.
It was December and the weather was cold.
After all, the old man's side had more experience, so he quickly lit a fire and kindly sent some firewood and fire excerpts to Liu Mang's side.
The two sides kept a safe distance from each other.
Liu Mang and his party formed a circle, with Liu Mang sitting next to Miao Xinyue and Miao Xiyang. Opposite him was Shen Donghai.
The two sides looked at each other unkindly. They had argued several times because of Zhong Yulong along the way. If others hadn't dissuaded them, they would have turned against each other long ago.
Although Yu Zhiyang of the Nine Shadow Sword Sect, Liu Yafei of the Iron Fist Sect, and others also did not like Zhong Yulong, they clearly saw Liu Mang's affection for and protection of Zhong Yulong, and they could not help but restrain themselves a lot.
Although they were dissatisfied with Liu Mang, they were actually extremely fearful in their hearts, and they no longer criticized Zhong Yulong verbally. Only Shen Donghai remained persistent.
"Huh, Zhong Yulong is doomed this time!" Shen Donghai suddenly said.
Others present looked at each other with subtle expressions. Some even put their hands on their foreheads, as if they could predict what would happen next.
Sure enough, Liu Mang was heard to answer: "Zhong Yulong is a famous figure in the martial arts world. How can his life and death be guessed by a nobody like you?"
Shen Donghai sneered: "I have been on the Dragon and Tiger List. If I am a nobody, then who are you?"
"Only the weak will talk about being on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking all day long!" Liu Mang scolded.
"Who among the powerful people under twenty in the world has never been on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?" Shen Donghai was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"For someone like me who has never been in the game, I only need three moves to deal with you." Liu Mang said this very naturally, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing that Shen Donghai was getting angry, he was about to stand up and compete with Liu Mang, but he was held back by Yu Zhiyang and Liu Yafei next to him.
The journey to Tianshan Mountain was not smooth, especially with the threat of Yi Er. They did not want Liu Mang and Shen Donghai to have internal conflicts.
After all, one of them was in the top 20 on the Tiger List three years ago and now his martial arts skills must have improved, and the other one even killed four levels and overturned a sect.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. What if one ear really comes over?
At this time, Miao Xinyue laughed and said: "Brother Shen just said something wrong. There are really many masters in the world who have never been on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."
After all, Shen Donghai is a person who has been on the Dragon and Tiger List. At this time, he has calmed down and said calmly: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
"None of the masters of the imperial court are included in the Dragon and Tiger List."
Shen Donghai looked a little stunned, but still did not refute.
The Dragon and Tiger List was promulgated by the Imperial City Department of the imperial court. On the surface, it served the purpose of ranking the world's masters. But in fact, was it not a form of supervision and warning?
Naturally, the Imperial City Division would not put its own masters on the list, lest others see the truth and falsehood, which would be detrimental to the rule of the imperial court.
"The world is surrounded by crises now. How can the Imperial City Division have time to take care of us? The Dragon and Tiger List has not been updated for several months."
"This foolish king is obsessed with the art of alchemy all day long, abandoning the destiny of the country and pursuing the elusive immortality. It is really infuriating!"
"Huang Tiandao is stirring up trouble and trouble everywhere. It is said that he contributed to the destruction of Liang City this time. There is also the tendency of the devil to make a comeback. The world is not far away from being devastated!"
The topic of discussion instantly shifted from Zhong Yulong to the imperial court, and there was a feeling of common hatred. The conflict between Liu Mang and Shen Donghai was naturally concealed invisibly.
Miao Xiyang, Zhou Shaoyang and others took the opportunity to go hunting, and when they came back they were carrying fat hares and pheasants.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Mang took the initiative at this time, and skillfully used a dagger to quickly peel the hare and pheasant, then strung them with branches, and placed them on the fire, rolling and burning them flexibly. As it roasted, the aroma of meat soon spread.
Miao Xiyang, Zhou Shaoyang, Fan Haowen and others all looked surprised, obviously they did not expect Liu Mang to have such good cooking skills.
After Liu Mang finished roasting, he cut the roast rabbit and chicken into many small portions and let everyone present take their own portions.
Except for Shen Donghai, everyone took one without ceremony.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Liu Yafei, a muscular man, grabbed a big chicken leg and his mouth was full of oil as he ate it.
"It's fat but not greasy, tender and juicy. I didn't expect Brother Liu to have such skill!" Miao Xiyang also praised.
"Brother Liu is really different from ordinary people when he can pick up a chicken-killing knife and put down a murdering sword." Miao Xinyue praised sincerely while taking small bites of rabbit meat.
"Huh, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, this is a small talk!" Shen Donghai said disdainfully.
"If you hadn't swallowed your saliva just now, your words would have been more convincing." Liu Mang exposed it directly and without politeness, making everyone laugh.
"You!" Shen Donghai looked angry, then suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Miao and Brother Zhou caught these chickens and rabbits, why can't I eat them?"
After saying that, he unceremoniously picked up a rabbit head, put it directly in his mouth and started chewing it regardless of the image.
"You are so shameless," Liu Mang commented.
On the other side, next to the old man in brocade, a little girl with twin tails, about eight or nine years old, looked at Liu Mang eagerly and kept swallowing her saliva.
"Grandpa, I also want to eat roasted rabbit."
"Grandpa, I'm so hungry."
"Didn't you just eat it just now?" the old man said helplessly, but he couldn't resist his granddaughter's plea, so he said, "Go and ask those brothers and sisters if they are willing to share it with you."
After saying that, the little girl jumped up and ran towards Liu Mang and others.
For an eight or nine-year-old child, people were naturally not on guard, and they all looked at the little girl with a smile in their eyes.
The little girl was quite polite, and she knelt down slightly and said, "Brothers and sisters, Ling'er is so polite."
The little girl's face is rosy and tender, her two big eyes are shining like stars in the sky, and with her playful twin tails, she is so cute.
Seeing her, Liu Mang couldn't help but think of his previous life. After falling in love, his partner asked him if he wanted to have a boy or a girl. At that time, his answer was that he wanted to have a girl.
What father doesn’t want a caring little cotton-padded jacket?
Thinking of this, Liu Mang smiled and said: "Little sister, come to my brother's place. I have roast chicken here."
The little girl looked at him hesitantly, not knowing whether to come over or not.
At this time, the girl with tied hair from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau smiled and said: "It's better to come to my sister's place and I'll feed you the rabbit."
The little girl then jumped up to the girl with tied hair and happily took the roast rabbit.
Take small bites and eat quietly, not to mention how cute it is.
"Little sister, come to me."
"I have chicken legs here."
Many people in the team wanted to feed her, such as Zhou Shaoyang and Miao Xiyang. Even the cold-faced man Shen Donghai spoke up, which surprised Liu Mang.
However, the little girl was wary of men and only accepted gifts from the girl with tied hair and Miao Xinyue.
In the end, she finished eating, and couldn't help but burped, but immediately covered her mouth shyly, and then continued to say a blessing: "Thank you, brothers and sisters, for the barbecue!"
Seeing the happy figure of the little girl leaving, everyone present couldn't help but smile.
The old man in golden clothes over there also came over personally to express his thanks.
After talking with him, he learned that his son was at Cold Frog Peak in the Skyfire Mountain Range and was going to participate in the Skyfire Conference this time. He specially brought his granddaughter over to watch his son compete.
"There may be bandits on this road. I need to be careful," Liu Mang couldn't help but remind him. This father-in-law obviously seemed to be a kind family.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. For this trip, I specially invited experts from the Shenwei Escort Agency to escort me." The old man said with a smile.
"Shenwei Escort Agency?" Fan Haowen, a disciple of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, frowned and thought, but couldn't remember it for a moment, but it was obvious that the other party should be a small escort agency.
After the exchange, it was already dark and everyone began to rest.
It was the first time that Liu Mang spent the night with so many unfamiliar people, and he was a little distracted. He held the gold straight knife tightly in his hand, and his eyes were half-closed.
Before dawn the next day, the old man and his party left first.
After two hours, Liu Mang and his party also started to set off.
The red sun has just risen, illuminating the entire land and reflecting the red color of the clothes of these people coming out of Quancheng.
At this time, the air was fresh, the breeze was blowing, and the view ahead was wide. Shen Donghai couldn't help but said loudly: "If I go to Tianshan Mountain, I will become famous all over the world!"
Liu Mang rarely refuted this time, but raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He was also looking forward to his first meeting with Mr. Zhong.
