Uncle Zhong, who was well-informed, revealed the identity of the two people in one breath. Seeing their reactions, he basically confirmed his idea in his heart that they were two stupid young men who had just entered Taoism and became monks.
Many people in the world have had the experience of coming into contact with Qi Refining monks, and they are no strangers to them, nor do they blindly worship them.
Only monks in the late stage of Qi refining are worthy of the title of "immortal master" in their eyes.
In general, in the early stage of Qi refining, innate warriors can defeat them head-on. In the middle stage of Qi refining, monks and innate masters can also kill some with sneak attacks. It is not until the later stage of Qi refining that they truly have an overwhelming advantage over the warriors.
As for the Foundation-Building Monks, they are already able to escape from the earthly world, which is a rare occurrence for mortals in hundreds of years, and is not within the scope of discussion.
"If it is a cultivator, it should not be sent by Zhao San."
"These two guys don't seem to know how to kill. On the contrary, the person under the statue is... very dangerous."
"..."
…
"Little girl Zilin, thank you two elder brothers."
After ruling out the suspicion of pursuers, the masked girl named Zi Lin took off her veil, showed a sweet smile, and took the golden elixir from the hands of the two stunned guys.
They originally brought this medicine with them in case they needed it during the long journey, but they didn't use it and gave it all away.
"You're welcome." X 2
"What are your plans after the rain stops?" the middle-aged guard leader Uncle Zhong asked the two little Taoist priests after applying the medicine.
"My name is Jin Guang, and his name is Shui Jing. We are brothers who traveled down the mountain under the orders of our master..."
"I wonder where you two are going?"
"Yes, we are going to Duan Ping... Wuwuwu... Senior brother, why are you covering my mouth again!"
"No, the two of us are just going down the mountain and traveling around." Master Shui Jing, who heard that the other party seemed to be trying to solicit, quickly asked Jin Guang, a fool, to change his words.
"If you don't mind, can you two become guests of my Zhao family?" the girl said with a smile.
"good!"
"no problem!
Faced with a warm invitation from a beautiful woman and most likely from a rich family, the two young men who were just starting out agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Zilin pulled the two of them in, naturally not because they were handsome, but because they were loyal to her escorts. Everyone was injured when the enemy chased them, so she had to find a few more passers-by to serve as high-level cannon fodder.
Two young Qi refining monks who know a few magic tricks are the best candidates.
"Our Zhao family still has some financial resources, so how about the monthly salary for both of you is two spiritual stones each?"
"good!"
"no problem!"
Because Qi Refining monks cannot escape from grains, the mortal world and the world of cultivation are not completely separated in terms of materials. Spiritual stones and silver can still be exchanged at a certain exchange ratio, which is roughly equivalent to a low-grade spiritual stone being exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.
In other words, the monthly income of two "masters" as guests is equal to their total savings from many years of hard work...
"Mom, I finally honor my ancestors!"
When Master Jin Guang heard this treatment, he suddenly had many things in his heart that he wanted to tell his mother who had passed away many years ago.
"We no longer have to go 800 miles away to find rich people to cheat money..."
"This is the first month's offering." While the two little Taoist priests were filled with tears, Zhao Zilin did not hesitate and took out four spiritual stones directly from her package.
These hard currencies were worth as much as gold, and she still took some with her when she escaped.
"Thank you, Miss."
Once the money was in place, the two of them just hugged the rich woman's lap to show their loyalty.
…
After becoming a temporary "family", the two groups sat together, leaving only white ink that was still like wood.
I learned from Zhao Zilin that they were a family from Linzhou City, a nearby large city.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zilin's father, died suddenly a few days ago. As an only daughter, she rushed home after receiving the news, but she didn't expect that her father's third half-brother suddenly launched an attack to seize the family property.
, and also sent a large number of troops to surround and kill Zhao Zilin.
If it weren't for a group of servant guards loyal to them who resisted desperately, it would be difficult for them to escape.
"Is there any noise outside?"
The rain gradually lightened up, and it should have become quieter, but it became noisier outside.
"Could it be that they are chasing us again?!"
"Uncle Zhong, be careful in everything."
The guard captain was about to go out to take a look, but as soon as he reached the door, a cold arrow pierced his thigh.
Zhao Zhong fell to the ground in response.
"Uncle Zhong!"
Master Jin Guang and the other two were also very surprised. The uncle who was chatting and laughing with them just now was gone in the blink of an eye?!
"I...I'm fine, I can't die."
Zhao Zhong was rolling around, not caring that the wound he had just applied the gold wound medicine on opened again, so he dragged his injured leg and rolled to a blind corner of the ruined temple.
"Come! That dead old ghost Zhao Zhong has been seriously injured. There is nothing to worry about anymore. No one will be left behind after entering!"
"yes!"
More than twenty killers wearing raincoats and tracking with dogs rushed into the ruined temple.
Jin Guang and Shui Jing had no idea that after receiving their monthly salary, they would immediately have to fight tooth and nail with others, and they would fight tooth and nail against the strong enemy and the weak one.
"There are more than twenty people outside, and we only have six fireballs. What should we do..."
"How about... let's run?"
"Run? Where can you run? There is still a chance of survival if you get out. If you run, they still have dogs. Can you outrun the hounds?"
In the face of life and death, as long as you can survive, you can put aside any beauty, let alone a beauty you just met.
"Chief, there are two little cubs I don't know over there."
"Kill them all. Anyone who has seen our Seven Killings attack will not be left alive."
"yes!"
…
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"hair!"
Two carefully prepared fireballs went straight towards the killer leader and deputy leader.
To capture the thief, capture the king first, they also understand this principle.
Killing the opponent's command is especially important when the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.
"boom!"
The fireball hit their wet raincoats and still burned tenaciously. The magical fire supported by mana was far stronger than ordinary flames.
The deputy leader, whose back was on fire, lay on the ground, rolling around desperately, trying to put out the flames.
But he didn't expect that the fire would still burn even if the raincoat was stained with water. His rolling was meaningless except increasing the area burned by the fire.
"The magic of a cultivator?!"
"Hurry and cut off the burning area!"
The leader on the side saw that something was wrong and couldn't put out the fire, so he immediately chose another way to deal with it.
He endured the severe pain and used the long sword in his hand to cut everything clean, including the leather, flesh and the burned part of his raincoat.
His body and face were covered in blood.
But compared to the deputy who was burned alive by the magic fireball, at least he survived.
