"We can't eat it. Why?"
"It's me. Why can't we eat it? Are you the only ones who can eat it?"
"Little doll, this was made by your parents, right? Let your parents say it!"
It had to be said that in any era, the attraction of delicious food was very big. No wonder Immortal Chefs could become a force in the Untainted Land. Gu Zheng's words made the people outside burst into an uproar. They could smell it but couldn't eat it. Many people felt incomparably uncomfortable. Some people also had some things in their hands and wanted to exchange for some. When Gu Zheng refused, they immediately made a scene.
There were also some who were very poor and didn't have anything to exchange. They also made a scene, and some even had some bad thoughts.
"Quiet!"
Gu Zheng suddenly spoke, and all the noisy people instantly stopped. He used immortal energy in his words, and could transmit his words into everyone's mind, forcing them to stop.
"Wu You, pack up. We're going to live in another place!"
Gu Zheng didn't care about them. He ordered Wu You and began to pack up the freshly made Pi Elemental Food Cultivation.
After the Pi Elemental Food Cultivation was made, it was best to eat it immediately. However, it was obviously not the time to eat it immediately. After eating it, it needed time to stabilize. With so many people around, he didn't feel at ease to let himself and Taotie fall into a state of cultivation.
With just Wu You alone, he wouldn't be able to stop so many of them.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Wu You immediately agreed. When there was no one else, he called Gu Zheng master. When there were outsiders, he called him Young Master. This was also Gu Zheng's request for him.
"Don't, it's not like we don't have anything to give you. Let us try it too!"
"That's right. You can cook it. Don't take it all for yourself!"
"We can't let them go. I've never seen such a fragrant thing before!"
Gu Zheng still underestimated the influence of delicious food, especially the Pi Elemental Food Cultivation he made. The fragrance was simply not something ordinary people could resist. Not to mention here, even if it was on Earth in the future, if there was a gourmet shop that was a hundred times better than the surrounding food, it would be crowded.
If you didn't sell it to him, he would also sell it to you.
"So noisy!"
Taotie suddenly shouted. His voice was much louder than Gu Zheng's. The surrounding people were stunned for a moment. Some of the weaker ones suddenly sat on the ground.
After that, no one dared to speak. They all widened their eyes and looked at Taotie in horror.
No one thought that such a child could make a cry more terrible than a beast. Just now, everyone was really shocked. Taotie was not Gu Zheng. He could control his strength. When he was in a bad mood, he would naturally vent. The delicious food made by Gu Zheng originally belonged to the two of them. Now that these people were making trouble to eat it, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Wu You and Aunt Cui were fine. They knew how powerful Gluttony was, but even so, they were still shocked.
"You child, why are you so loud?!"
"I can be even louder!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taotie's words came back at him. The person who asked the question was directly attacked by Taotie's voice and fainted. The others were also stunned by the sound.
"It's a monster, run!"
It was unknown who shouted, but the hundred or so people began to run out at lightning speed. In this era, people would instinctively think that things they didn't understand, or things that were beyond their imagination were monsters.
This was an era where monsters were prevalent.
Taotie, a child who looked about four years old, not only had a voice louder than an adult, but also could make people faint. If it was not a monster, then what was it? Anyway, ordinary people certainly could not do it.
"Wu You, don't pack up. Ride the horse and take Aunt Cui to the lake fifty miles east to wait for us!"
Seeing that they all ran away, Gu Zheng sighed. These people mistakenly thought that they were monsters. That would definitely spread immediately. Whether they were monsters or not, there would be bold people who would come to see and even kill the monsters.
He and Taotie had to immediately take the elemental food to cultivate. They could not stay here. Originally, they planned to pack up and leave together, but now they could not. They could only go separately. He and Taotie were fast and could run far without horses. It was better to let Wu You and Aunt Cui ride away.
If they were gone, who knew if the people who came later would find trouble with Wu You and Aunt Cui.
"Little Tie, you ride the horse and take Little Tie away first. Wu You and I will stay here. It's okay. They don't know your identity and will misunderstand. We are just ordinary people!"
Aunt Cui looked at the things in the tent and carriage. She hesitated and said to Gu Zheng. They still had a lot of things here. If they just rode away, these things would definitely not be able to be taken away. She was reluctant to give up so many good things.
It was conceivable that once there was no one here, what would happen to those things. People at this time did not have the spirit of not pocketing money. When they saw an ownerless thing, they would immediately take it for themselves.
"That's right, master. We are all ordinary people. They won't do anything to us. Besides, you are not monsters. It's okay to explain clearly just now!"
Wu You also said. He was also reluctant to give up these things.
"That's fine. You wait here. Little Tie and I will be back soon!"
After hesitating, Gu Zheng nodded. Taotie was just misunderstood as a monster. In fact, they were not monsters at all, but cultivators. It was just that they did not explain it.
With the Beheading Immortal Flying Dagger, Gu Zheng was no longer afraid of the monster. His courage grew a lot. Wu You and Aunt Cui were not willing to leave. In addition, it would not take long for him to absorb the effect of the medicine. So, he simply agreed.
After agreeing, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately packed up the Pi Elemental Food Cultivation, pulled Taotie, and rode the little White Dragon to quickly leave. The place they were going was not far. There was a small forest twenty miles away. They found a big tree. He and Taotie jumped on the tree and sat cross-legged.
As soon as the Pi Yuanshi Xiu entered his stomach, a wave of heat rose from his dantian. Gu Zheng did not care about anything else. He immediately adjusted his breathing and cultivated. The surging immortal power filled his body as if it was going to explode. Gu Zheng knew that this was the result of a large amount of immortal power. He endured the pain and quickly operated the Gokusen Immortal Art. After an unknown period of time, the surging power finally subsided. Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes.
The sky was completely dark. Gu Zheng did not know how long it took him to digest the Pi Yuanshi Xiu. But according to the moonlight, it was more than four hours, at most no more than six hours.
"Where's Little Tie?"
Looking back, Gu Zheng found that Taotie, who was digesting the Pi Yuanshi Xiu on the thick branch next to him, had disappeared. Not only Taotie was gone, but even the little white dragon that was resting under the tree was gone.
The little white dragon and Taotie were gone. Gu Zheng's first thought was that Taotie rode the little white dragon to play. The little white dragon was not something that anyone could ride. The horse king had the dignity of a horse king, but there were two exceptions.
One was Gu Zheng, who had subdued it, and the other was Taotie.
Taotie did not ride on its body like Gu Zheng did to subdue it. When the little white dragon did not let Taotie ride it, Taotie directly beat it with its fists until it was afraid. It could be said that the little white dragon was most afraid of Taotie. On the contrary, it was not afraid of Gu Zheng. It was very close to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng often used his immortal power to help it comb its body. Although it did not have intelligence, it knew that this was good for it and made it very comfortable.
Whether it was the little white dragon or Taotie, Gu Zheng was not worried about them. Taotie's strength had reached the fifth level of internal force before. If it was not a monster or an immortal who had reached the realm of refining energy into qi, it was not his opponent at all.
There was no such expert around for the time being, so Gu Zheng was not worried. If someone saw them and had evil intentions and wanted to snatch the little white dragon, they would end up like Du Gouzi.
After coming back to his senses, Gu Zheng immediately looked inside to check his situation. Soon, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Gokusen's third level of immortal art had finally been reached. Not only did he reach it, but he also broke through the first twenty to thirty percent and directly reached the fourth level. Now, his strength had reached the fifth level of internal force, the middle of the fifth level.
With the strength of the fifth level of internal force, coupled with some of his own skills, he was not afraid if it was not a real immortal who came.
Now, he also had the Immortal Beheading Gourd. Even if a real immortal came, he would not be afraid. After returning to the early stage of the Untainted Land for so long, he finally had the ability to protect himself.
It was the early stage of the Untainted Land, not the Untainted Land under the rule of immortals. At this time, the number of human immortal cultivators was not as many as later generations. Not only humans, but there were also not as many monsters as later generations. No matter what level the monsters were, they all needed time to grow. Although Gu Zheng did not know how long the Untainted Land had been born, he estimated that it would not be too long because no saints had appeared. He also saw Hongjun Dao Ancestor.
In the later Untainted Land, there was no news of Hongjun Dao Ancestor at all. It was said that he had already left the current big world and went to another world before the Untainted Land to search for treasures. He was no longer in this place.
With a breakthrough and a great increase in strength, Gu Zheng was in a good mood. He jumped down from the tree and walked towards Aunt Cui and Wu You alone. After he and Taotie left, he did not know if anyone would find trouble with them later. It was better not to, otherwise, he would not be polite.
Gu Zheng did not seem to walk fast, but in fact, he was not slow. The distance of twenty miles was reached in less than an hour. He was much faster than others.
Before he really reached the place, he saw many people holding torches on the hillside. Gu Zheng's face changed and he immediately sped up. In a few breaths, he ran over there and saw the tent and carriage they had set up before.
The tent had fallen and the carriage was broken. Seeing this, Gu Zheng's face became even more ugly. He was so cold that he wanted to kill someone.
But soon, his face eased a little. He had already seen Little White Dragon, Wu You, Aunt Cui, and Taotie. It turned out that Taotie did not go to play, but came back. With him, Aunt Cui and Wu You would be fine. Gu Zheng did not care about the broken things. For him, the most important thing was the people.
Three people and a horse stood there. There were many people around a hundred meters away, but no one dared to go over. They were all shouting.
Some people called for the monsters to die, and some people shouted that they wanted to invite the immortals. In short, there were all kinds of words.
"Wu You, what's going on?"
Gu Zheng quickly ran over. Seeing Gu Zheng come back, Wu You and Aunt Cui were obviously relieved. They looked at Taotie together with a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Master, not long after you left, some people came and shouted that they wanted to kill the monsters. When they saw that you were not here, they made trouble. We said nothing, but they blamed us for murdering others with the monsters. They wanted to take us away and drown us in a pig cage!"
Wu You whispered and told Gu Zheng what happened after they left. When he said that these people wanted to take them away and drown them in a pig cage, Gu Zheng's face changed again and became cold.
Wu You, who was talking to him, was shocked by Gu Zheng's expression. He realized that although his little master usually had a good attitude, once he was angry, he was very scary. He was even scarier than the terrifying Taotie.
Taotie was probably only on the surface, and Gu Zheng's terror went straight to his heart. Wu You was glad that he was the last to follow. Otherwise, he would have become the feces of a beast, and all that would be left of him would be a skeleton.
These people wanted to take Wu You and Aunt Cui away and drown them in a pig cage. How could Wu You not surrender? He had a knife, and he drew his knife on the spot to prevent them from messing around.
Aunt Cui did not have a knife, but she also picked up a shoulder pole and looked like she was going to fight for her life.
The saber in Wu You's hand was a standard waist saber. Some of the people who had seen it before knew how powerful it was. Most of the people who ran back were carrying sticks, poles, hoes, and other things. Most of them were carrying rocks, and there were also a lot of people who didn't carry anything.
Now that they saw a person take out a knife, they were naturally afraid. For a moment, no one went up.
Wu You was very nervous, but he still protected Aunt Cui and retreated to the side of the carriage. They retreated, and those people came over. Some people rushed into the tent and saw the things in the tent. At first, some people just picked it up to look, but when someone took it away, it immediately caused a commotion. Just like that, the tent collapsed.
When the tent collapsed, Wu You was even more worried. Many people looked at the carriage. He decisively took Aunt Cui and retreated again. He even took out two knives in his hands, and he looked like he would fight for his life if they dared to come. He protected Aunt Cui and slowly retreated.
At this time, he regretted not listening to Gu Zheng. If he had known, he would have left first. He did not expect these people to be so crazy. Now that the things were not protected, even the two of them were in danger.
As soon as they retreated, the carriage was also robbed. All of their things were taken, including the set of bone needles that Aunt Cui had just bought.
After robbing the things, these people were not satisfied. They shouted and asked them to hand over the two Little Goblin. Otherwise, they would drown them in a pig cage and kill them together. This stalemate lasted for a while. Those people lost their patience and began to throw stones at them.
Wu You had a knife in his hand, but he did not have an arrow, so he could not fight back. He could only use his body to protect Aunt Cui. He was hit several times, and his skin was broken. At this time, Taotie came back riding the little white dragon.
Taotie's strength was stronger than Gu Zheng's, and he did not need to break through, so he absorbed it very quickly. In less than two hours, he woke up. After waking up, he sat on the tree and felt bored. He was not a person who could sit still, so he simply came down and rode the little white dragon away.
However, he did not know where to go or where to have fun, so he let the little white dragon run by itself. As soon as the little white dragon ran, it ran along the familiar road and ran back. It happened to see those people throwing stones at Wu You and Aunt Cui. Although the stones were small, many of them hit Wu You's body. There were also a few people carrying the big stones to get closer. It seemed that they wanted to use the big stones to kill Wu You and the others.
Although Taotie was not as mature as Gu Zheng, he also had his own thoughts and emotions.
No matter what, Aunt Cui had always taken care of them and coaxed them. Wu You had also always been by their side. He did whatever they asked him to do. Taotie had long regarded them as his own people.
Even without Gu Zheng's instructions, Taotie was immediately angry when he saw so many people bullying the two of them.
If an angry child did not have the strength, he would at most howl twice. However, a child with strength would become very terrifying when he was angry.
It was like a four-year-old child holding a toy gun. This toy gun was very light, but it could shoot real bullets, bullets that could kill. At this moment, if someone on the street provoked him or his family, the outcome was obvious.
At that time, Taotie roared angrily and rushed over. The first unlucky ones were the three people who carried the big stones to hit them. Each of them punched the stone, and the stone was also punched and became angry.
In his anger, Taotie did not pay attention to his strength at all. The three of them were sent flying far away. Before they landed on the ground, they vomited blood. Then, they were carried away. They were probably going to be treated, but from Wu You's point of view, the three of them could not be saved. They would be waiting for death if they returned, or they would die on the way back.
After sending three people flying, the people who were present were dumbfounded.
After sending the three people away, Taotie's anger dissipated a little. He immediately went to Wu You and the others. Seeing that they were fine, he was relieved and did not move. Those people did not dare to throw stones anymore. Some of them were scared away, but most of them stayed where they were, shouting that they wanted to get rid of demons. It was just that no one dared to go up for a while.
There were close to a thousand people in the surroundings. With so many people around, it gave them courage. This was also during the Great Bazaar, otherwise, there would not be so many people.
Taotie had killed three people at once, which surprised Gu Zheng and made him worried.
Fortunately, Taotie did not go on a killing spree and kill these people. Taotie now had the ability to do so. Although there were many of them, they were all ordinary people. If Taotie really went up, no one would be able to stop him.
Perhaps many people would be able to escape, but there would also be many who would not be able to escape. If they scattered and ran, at most two-thirds of them would be able to escape. In other words, at least one-third of the 300 people would be killed by Taotie.
Now, it was fortunate that Taotie did not do so.
When he heard Wu You's words just now, even if he knew that Taotie did not do so, Gu Zheng still had some lingering fear. After all, Taotie had an unexplainable evil thought in his heart. It had always been a sore point for him. This was what Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said personally. It was absolutely not wrong. What Gu Zheng wanted to do was to try his best to prevent Taotie's evil thought from coming out, as long as it did not affect him.
Evil thought was an invisible existence. It was different from inner demons. Inner demons could be removed, but evil thoughts could not be removed. Especially since Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had said so, Gu Zheng did not have the intention to help him clear it. He could only suppress it as much as possible and affect him in other ways to reduce the influence of this evil thought to the minimum.
