For ordinary people in this era, anything abnormal will be treated as monsters.
In fact, it is not just now, it will be like this for many years to come. The common people have little knowledge, and a child suddenly bursts out with such a powerful force, making them instinctively feel that they have encountered a monster.
Du Gouzi's reaction was completely normal. When he was running, he happened to pass by one of his companions, and then he took a look. The sight frightened him and fell to the ground. His companion's eyes, mouth, nose and ears were bleeding.
A lot of blood came out, and the whole face was red, which was extremely scary.
His two companions were actually dead.
Now Gu Zheng is not a soft-hearted person, and many people have died in his hands before. He will not keep anyone who may pose a threat to him.
What's more, he still needs to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. If these two people dare to come up and attack him, it can only be said that they deserve to die.
“After watching it for so long, it’s time to come out!”
Gu Zheng slowly turned his head and looked at the pile of grass. Tao followed him and turned his head, and the two of them looked at the inconspicuous-looking pile of grass together.
There are three waves of people in total, and there is only one person in this wave, but this one has been hidden very well. From the time they came out to now, this person has not been discovered by the other two waves, and he is very cautious.
Boss Du Gouzisi and the others didn't find out, but that doesn't mean he could have concealed it from Gu Zheng. In fact, he didn't even hide it from Tao Zheng. It's just that Tao wouldn't do anything without Gu Zheng's order unless he provoked him.
.
"Not coming out? Do you think we are deliberately bluffing you? Do you see this? With my strength, I can easily penetrate a stone. Do you want to give it a try? Is the stone harder, or is your head harder?"
Gu Zheng took out a sharpened wooden flying knife, pointed at the grass and said, he was not bragging. With his current strength and skill, as long as it is not a particularly big stone, usually a stone of about ten centimeters, he is real.
Can penetrate it.
"You two are not ordinary people!"
A man finally walked out of the grass. He looked unattractive, not tall, less than 1.7 meters tall, and not old, only in his twenties. He looked at Gu Zheng and the two of them warily.
"If the two of us were ordinary people, wouldn't we be dead long ago?"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. If they were really ordinary people, they would have died by the swords of those two people just now. It would be impossible to point out this person.
"What do you want me to do?"
The man didn't argue, but instead asked. Gu Zheng was a little surprised and asked again: "How do you know we want you to do something?"
"With your methods, it is easy to kill me. There is no need to remind you. Since you have reminded me, you don't want to kill me, or you want to kill me now!"
The man said softly, and Du Gouzi, who was on the ground, had already gotten up, trembling, and secretly walked out, hoping to steal the cannon while Gu Zheng and the others were talking.
"ah!"
Just after taking two steps, he suddenly let out a scream. Gu Zheng's wooden flying knife had already been thrown out. Du Gouzi's leg was penetrated by the flying knife. He fell to the ground again, covering his leg and screaming.
"You are very smart. What I want you to do now is to kill him!"
Gu Zheng didn't even look at Du Gouzi, but gave an order to that single person. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, that person hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and picked up Du Gouzi's hand from the ground.
The waist knife came to his side and without any hesitation, he directly pierced Du Gouzi's body with the knife.
Clean and neat, Du Gouzi struggled a few times and died completely.
“Although it’s a little worse than I expected, it’s still usable!”
Gu Zheng still has an innocent smile on his face. This person is both witty and ferocious enough. Unfortunately, he looks too ordinary. It would be better if he could be as powerful as Du Gouzi. But no one is perfect, so what?
You can't pursue perfection, just meet his requirements.
"Can I leave?" After killing Du Gouzi, he raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng.
"Do you think you can still leave?"
Gu Zheng smiled again, his eyes tightened, and he held the knife in his hand tighter. Although Gu Zheng in front of him was just a child, he didn't regard Gu Zheng as a child at all. In his eyes, Gu Zheng
I'm afraid he is a demon.
"You, you are playing tricks on me, but you still want to kill me in the end?"
When he said this, his voice finally began to tremble. Faced with the threat of death, he could not completely calm down now.
"No, I don't want to kill you, it's just that I need you to do more than this for me. After you finish everything for me, I will naturally let you go!"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he walked towards him. Before Gu Zheng got close, he hurriedly backed away.
"You, don't come here!"
He was still shouting. At this moment, he was no longer thinking about the white horse. At the same time, he was cursing himself for being stupid. If the two children had nothing to rely on, how could they ride such a horse safely and walk outside?
, he was also blinded by greed and did not expect this.
"Pop!"
Gu Zheng's body disappeared again. His movement speed was already fast, and it was impossible for ordinary people to avoid him. This man's head, stomach, and back were all patted by Gu Zheng seven times in a row.
"I have placed a restriction on you. As long as you do not violate my orders and have no ill intentions, the restriction will not be activated. However, once the restriction is activated, your life will be worse than death!"
After Gu Zheng finished taking the photo, he walked over by himself, with his back turned to him, without looking at him at all.
"May I have your name!"
After walking back, Gu Zheng put Tao on his horse first and then asked.
The man was checking his body. He was photographed feeling something, but it was not obvious. He was also suspicious of what Gu Zheng said just now. After just a few pats, he had to obey the order?
“Ah, it’s so itchy, it’s so itchy, it’s killing me!”
Without answering Gu Zheng's question, he suddenly rolled on the ground, scratching his body with his hands and screaming in pain.
It lasted for three minutes before he stopped with his hands, and his whole body lay there, covered with a layer of sweat, and his eyes were filled with endless fear.
Previously, Gu Zheng had many ways to control people, but this would not work. He was too weak, so he could only use some other methods. This method of controlling people was actually a demonic one that he saw when he was in Shushan.
There is a small restriction on the door. I thought it was interesting at the time and I wrote it down. I didn’t expect to use it now.
This kind of small restriction can be broken by someone who is stronger than the person who placed the restriction, or it can be broken by someone whose magical power is stronger than the restriction. It is not very useful. The advantage is that as long as you have immortal power, you can use it, which is very convenient.
Such a restriction is very ineffective against immortals. Even if they are lower in cultivation than you, it is not so easy for you to place such a restriction on them. Even if you set it up, as long as the other party's immortal power is not restrained, they can still resist a little or two.
, but if there is the ability to completely restrict the immortal power, then there is no need for such a small restriction.
Among the immortals, there are many ways to control people, and they can even directly control the soul, so there is no need for such methods.
So this was useless before, but it is very useful for the current ancient war, and it is enough to deal with ordinary people.
"Now believe me, get up!"
Gu Zheng got on his horse, let Xiao Bailong walk to the man, and spoke lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the ground immediately propped himself up and stood up. His legs were still shaking as he stood there.
"Do you want me to repeat the question again?"
Gu Zheng suddenly looked at him, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground again. He immediately shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the Great Immortal, my name is Wu You!"
"Wu You, Wu You?"
Gu Zheng was a little distracted. This man's name was Wu You, which was very similar to Wu You's name, but the pronunciation was different. His name also reminded Gu Zheng of Wu You, the great elder who had captured him in Emei.
At this time, I'm afraid there are no such sects on earth, let alone Emei and other sects on earth.
"From today on, you will follow me, but there is one thing. You are absolutely not allowed to call me Daxian in front of outsiders!"
After a while, Gu Zheng slowly said something. It was not surprising that the other party guessed that he was an immortal cultivator. His methods were not those of ordinary people. It was normal for him to guess that he was an immortal.
But after all, his cultivation is too weak now. The fewer people who know this identity, the fewer people. Wu You is the person he can completely control. He guessed that it is okay, but he must not tell others.
"Yes!" Wu You replied immediately.
"Since you have guessed my identity, you should also know all the immortal methods. Not only can I kill you, but I can also capture your soul so that you will never be reincarnated and live in pain for the rest of your life!"
This time Gu Zheng simply scared him. The current Gu Zheng does not have the ability to bind people's souls. It will be available when he reaches the fourth level of Tiexian Immortal Art, but it is not available now.
However, Wu You didn't know that. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, he immediately nodded again and vowed to obey orders completely in the future and not dare to violate anything.
Gu Zheng still doesn't know whether Wu You is completely obedient, but I believe he doesn't have the guts to have bad intentions now. This small restriction is most useful to immortals, but if it is used on ordinary people, it can make him remember it once.
The experience of just a few minutes was definitely worse than death for Wu You.
For the time being, this Wu You can still be used, at least he can pretend to be their adult, so that the two children will not be looked at strangely wherever they go.
"Pack up their useful things and let's go!"
Gu Zheng gave instructions, seven people died, and none of them were good people. There must be something valuable on them. Gold and silver Gu Zheng didn't think about it, but there should still be some other things. Sure enough, Wu You quickly got something valuable from Du Gouzi.
He found a jade pendant. The jade was of good quality and worth some money. I don't know where he robbed it.
"Great Immortal..."
"Don't call me Great Immortal, call me Master from now on!"
Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted him. The name Daxian was really disgusting to him, just like the people who set up street stalls to tell fortunes on Earth back in the day. It sounded uncomfortable.
"Yes, Master, where are we going!"
Wu You had already packed it up, including those waist knives. There were not many good things on them. The best thing was Du Gouzi's jade pendant, which he gave to Gu Zheng.
"Fucheng!"
Without thinking, Gu Zheng pulled Tao and walked beside Xiao Bailong. He let Tao go up first, and then he got up. Tao liked to sit in the front, so Gu Zheng let him sit in front and he was behind him.
"Master, these waist knives belong to Fucheng and will be used by them. We will take them to Fucheng!"
After hesitating for a moment, seeing Gu Zheng was about to leave, Wu You immediately caught up to him and asked.
"It doesn't matter, let's put the horse down first, and you can walk behind. You have to keep up!"
Gu Zheng shook his head slightly. He didn't really want to use this waist knife. No matter how good the knife here was, it was no different from a paper shell to him. What he wanted was these irons. He could make a better one by himself when he went back.
Good daggers are all intended to be recycled. It doesn't matter whether they are from Fucheng and will be used.
Without the heavy objects, Wu You trotted all the way, barely keeping up with Gu Zheng. He was covered in sweat, but he didn't dare to stop. The feeling just now really scared him to death, and he was absolutely unwilling to try it a second time.
He really didn't have the guts to run away, especially when Gu Zheng threatened and intimidated him before, which made him dare not have any second thoughts.
Gu Zheng said that even if he died, his soul could still be captured. He didn't know that Gu Zheng couldn't do it now. In his eyes, Gu Zheng was already a great immortal. Great immortals are omnipotent. This is true for many people.
This is how it appears to ordinary people.
An hour later, Gu Zheng stopped at a tea shed.
There are not many villages here, but there are quite a few such small tea sheds. Basically, there is one within half a day's journey. Nowadays, many people come here, and the business of the tea sheds is good.
Most of these tea sheds are not opened deliberately. They are basically part-time. For example, there are things planted by the villagers around them, or they are temporary resting spots for the villagers. When there are many passers-by, they are opened as tea sheds.
When entering the tea shed, Gu Zheng did not let Wu You continue running, but asked him to hold the horse. In front of outsiders, he also changed his title to him, calling him young master instead of master.
"Master, there is a village forty miles ahead. You can shoot there at night!"
While sitting in the tea shed, Wu You carefully said that he was not actually from a nearby village, but from another village hundreds of miles away. There was a wealthy family there. After receiving the news, he took his children with him.
Come here, he is the one who was hired to come with you.
Because he took this road when he came here, he still knows the way quite well.
The wealthy family is still here. They have found the family, bought the qualifications, and are going to send their children to listen to the Daxian's sermon. He came out on his own out of boredom, but he fell in love with Gu Zheng's little white dragon and secretly followed him.
, and eventually became the person chosen by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng just nodded and said nothing.
"Did you know that Ge Laoer's son from Ge Village fell into the water and drowned yesterday?"
"Ah, is it true or false? Didn't all his sons sign up and go to listen to the sermon?"
"Who said it wasn't? It's such a pity that his son didn't have this life. He was so naughty. He ran to play in the water and accidentally drowned!"
"What about Ge Laoer? He has already reported it. If no children go, the whole family will be ruined when the immortal gets angry!"
"Ge Lao'er's family is still crying now. I don't know whether he is crying for his children or himself. I can only say that he is unlucky. They gave him a cart of grain, but he did not change it. He insisted on sending his son. Now he is fine.
, the name is reported, but the son is missing, the immortal will definitely not be able to do the job!"
Gu Zheng was drinking water from a bowl. What he was drinking was not the tea here, but just borrowing a place. When he heard what the people around him said, he suddenly turned his head.
"Do I have to go if I give my name?"
Gu Zheng asked directly, but Aunt Cui also signed up for them. He had never thought about this before, what would be the consequences of not going after signing up.
"Of course, you have to go if you want to report. If you don't go, you are cheating the great immortal!"
One person looked back at Gu Zheng and the others, and immediately nodded and replied.
"What are the consequences of deceiving the Immortal?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"It depends on the mood of the great immortal. If it's good, I'll just punish you with something. If it's not good, the whole family will have to dip into the pig cage!"
The man replied that it was not like this had happened before. He applied but failed to go, and was punished as a result. Therefore, there are still many people who do not submit the list because they are afraid of accidents if they report in advance.
"let's go!"
Gu Zheng stood up and greeted Wu You, and Tao Ze followed him and remounted his horse. This time Gu Zheng's direction was not towards Fucheng, but in the opposite direction.
"Master, Master, the direction is wrong!"
Wu You didn't dare to drink the tea and hurriedly caught up with him. Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave something to the tea shed. It was enough to pay for the tea.
"That's right, don't question the decision I made in the future. I'm telling you now..."
Gu Zheng frowned and said slowly, unnaturally bringing out a noble temperament when he spoke. He was not only one of the highest-ranking people in Shushan, but also the famous Da Luo Jinxian, a quasi-sage, who had long been cultivated
Got that aura.
Wu You was stunned when he saw this temperament, and his heart trembled even more.
Such a temperament made him feel that it was not enough to look up to him. At this moment, he was even thinking that being caught by Gu Zheng might not be a bad thing. Now there are too many people who want to follow the immortal, but there is no way at all. Although this master is young, he is
Immortal, if you follow him, you will always get some benefits in the future.
If you have the opportunity to become an immortal, that would be a great blessing.
Gu Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he was still giving instructions. What he ordered was what to say when he got to Aunt Cui.
Aunt Cui had already reported their names. Leaving suddenly would only bring disaster to Aunt Cui. Gu Zheng could not do this kind of thing and would not do it, so he had to go back. He did not think well before.
But the porcupine had already been delivered, and they had been running away for a long time. There had to be an explanation when they returned, and what he told Wu You was the explanation he came up with.
"When you get there, tell Aunt Cui that you are a servant of my family. My family is in a big village 800 miles away. We are a wealthy family in the village. This time, my father took everyone out for hunting, but they wandered far away and lost their way.
, then we encountered wild beasts and dispersed with us!"
While Gu Zheng was talking, he was thinking that this reason was a little far-fetched, but it wasn't impossible. It was still a reason, and it was much better than going back without having to explain.
