"Advancement? What advancement?" Old Ma was obviously startled, and asked in astonishment, "I've never heard of a dog advancing?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and said, "En, that's true. What I said just now wasn't quite right. You can think of Atsu's situation as … En, it's recently growing again."
Old Ma was taken aback, and said, "My goodness, you mean, because it recently ate the meat of these demon beasts, this big dog will continue to grow?"
Lu Chen smiled, and pulled him out. At the same time, he smiled and said, "I'm guessing it's probably like this."
Old Ma was pulled out by him, and as he walked, he looked back and said, "What kind of dog is this? I've never seen a dog that can grow so big …"
…
Although the two of them had been bickering and ridiculing each other before, it was probably because they had known each other for a long time, and their friendship was too good, so they were very close. However, after leaving the house, Old Ma quickly adjusted his position, and said to Lu Chen, "The thing we're going to do, you're in charge. I'm here to help you, and then I'll take care of the money. En, no matter what you spend in the future, I'll pay for it."
Lu Chen nodded, and the two of them walked forward together. After crossing the Horse Washing Bridge, they walked into the bustling streets of Immortal City.
There were all kinds of people coming and going on the streets, but whether it was Lu Chen or Old Ma, they didn't care.
But somewhere along the way, Old Ma suddenly pointed to a place, and said to Lu Chen with a smile, "Look, isn't that the nightclub we went to last time?"
Lu Chen glanced over there, and sure enough, it was the place they went to that night. But it was daytime, and there were indeed few people there. Even the door was closed. It seemed like it was the same as most other places, closed during the day.
"You sure remember it well. You've only been there once, but you remember it so well," Lu Chen said.
Old Ma waved his hand and said with a smile, "There's no such thing. It's just that I happened to see the white tiger statue outside the house from the window one night. The angle and distance were about the same as today, so I recognized it at a glance."
In the Immortal City, the statues of the Four Great Holy Beasts were so tall and majestic that one could see at least one statue in most places. Generally speaking, these majestic statues of unknown origins had become the center of the various districts in the Immortal City over the years.
The closer one was to the statue, the livelier it was. Of course, there were casinos, nightclubs, and other places to squander money.
It was even said that there was an unwritten custom that the closer the nightclubs and shops were to the colossus, the higher the grade. Of course, the amount of money needed to make a trip in would also increase.
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head. He patted the shoulder of Old Ma, who was still sighing and looking at the nightclub building, and continued to walk forward.
After Old Ma caught up, Lu Chen suddenly said in a low voice, "Old Ma, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
Old Ma glanced at him and said, "What is it? Say it."
"This time, it was the damn baldy who found me and wanted me to help him do something. I decided to help him in the end." Lu Chen walked side by side with him and said softly at the same time, "But you're different. I don't think there's a need for you to get involved."
Old Ma frowned and said, "What do you mean? But this is indeed something I want to do. No one forced me to do it. "
Lu Chen nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't the damn baldy say anything to you?"
Old Ma said, "No, Master was just like usual, telling me what to do and what to do."
Lu Chen put his hands behind his back and seemed to be deep in thought. At the same time, he said lightly, "Today is different from the past. In the past, you almost never did anything like directly dealing with the lunatics of the Evil Cult. Why do you have to come and ask for trouble? According to what I said, after you sent me to Immortal City, you can actually retire. "
Old Ma furrowed his brows and said, "Retire …"
"This kind of thing doesn't seem dangerous. But once you go deeper, the sacred tree is the most important and fundamental source of faith in the history of the Evil Cult. Anyone who wants to destroy it is almost certain to be the mortal enemy of the Evil Cult. It's extremely dangerous."
Lu Chen looked at Old Ma and said in a low voice, "Actually you don't have to work so hard to run with me. Maybe it's better to go back and enjoy the rest of your life."
Old Ma hesitated for a moment and suddenly laughed. Then he said, "Actually I have thought about these things before. But Master told me that he hoped I can help you in the end. And I myself, actually have the same thought. After all I have lived with you in that broken mountain village for ten years. I can't let you be caught by those lunatics so easily. And there are some things that you have to be careful of. "
Lu Chen didn't seem to understand Old Ma's words. After walking a few steps forward, he smiled and said to him, "Be careful of what?"
Old Ma laughed and said, "Be careful of the Evil Cult."
…
"Where are we going?" After walking around the white tiger statue with Lu Chen, Old Ma couldn't help but ask Lu Chen, "It seems that the two of us have been walking around this statue for the whole morning."
Lu Chen looked indifferent, glanced at him and said, "You know there is a slang in Jianghu called 'observing one's words and body language' right? I also want to see if there is a possibility that the people here are madmen from the Evil Faction who sneaked in."
Old Ma didn't believe it and said, "There are people everywhere on the street. You can recognize them with your eyes? I won't believe it even if you beat me to death. "
Lu Chen laughed and said, "I'm just saying."
Old Ma seemed to have walked a little too much. He simply sat down on a carved bench by the side of the road. At the same time, he said to Lu Chen, "I say, we have mentioned before that you are in charge of this matter. Since we have been walking for so long, what are you going to do? "
"The ancients have an old saying, sharpening the knife will not delay the work of cutting firewood." Lu Chen said calmly to Old Ma, "When you were complaining about me along the way, I had already remembered the direction of the nearby streets. In the future, if we are betrayed or hunted down, at least we can escape more smoothly, right?"
Old Ma was speechless. After a moment, he muttered, "We haven't even fought and we already want to escape and be killed. I can't do this job anymore."
As he spoke, he moved closer and whispered, "Do you have a clue or not?"
Lu Chen didn't look at him. His eyes seemed to be looking at an unknown place. At the same time, he whispered, "I have a list of the most suspicious people in Immortal City over the years. Hmm … including the people in Zhenxianmeng."
"Hmm?" Old Ma was obviously surprised and whispered, "There's such a thing! Then which place and who are you going to pick later? "
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I haven't found them yet. Let's take our time to find them. But …" He paused for a moment, then continued, "But I should have an idea of the people we are going to find today. But this is nothing to show off. I have always wanted to ask you, do ordinary people like us have the chance to meet those high and mighty Perfected Deity Transformation? "
Old Ma was shocked. When he looked at Lu Chen's face again, there didn't seem to be anything strange. He quickly pulled him to a secluded place and said, "If you want to meet our Perfected Deity Transformation, just say the word …"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Chen suddenly ask, "What if I want to meet other Perfected Deity Transformation in this Immortal City? Is there any way?"
Old Ma hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "Yes!"
