"Young Master is right. If you are kind, it depends on who you are treating!"
Mado sighed in melancholy and raised his head. When he mentioned Young Master, the five of them were obviously nervous. They all looked behind Mado. They had already looked once, and there was no one behind Mado.
However, they were also worried that the child would suddenly appear like last time. If the child really came, not to mention the five of them, even fifty people would not be able to escape. Moreover, they were very clear that the child was different from Mado. Mado was soft-hearted. Although the child was so young, he could kill without blinking.
In comparison, they were more afraid of Gu Zheng.
"No need to look. Young Master is not here. I am alone!"
Mado saw through their thoughts at a glance. Speaking of which, Mado was smart and flexible, but he was too soft-hearted.
"However, I will tell Young Master what you have done. You all, take care of yourselves!"
Mado sighed again. After he finished speaking, he walked out. He had been a little inside the cave and did not go deeper.
"Wait, Big Brother!"
When they heard that Mado was going to tell Gu Zheng what they had done, the five of them instantly became anxious and all stood up. Mado did not pay attention to them at all. At this time, he had already walked out of the cave and disappeared.
"Chase!"
The five of them looked at each other, stood up together, and ran out with their sabers. They could not let Mado tell Gu Zheng. Otherwise, when Gu Zheng came, they would definitely die.
They could also escape, but they really did not have the confidence to escape from that child. That was a cultivator. Moreover, no matter where they went, they had to rob to make a living. If that child found them, they would definitely die.
For their own safety, they could only make a move on Mado.
"Ah …"
Just as the first person ran out, a saber suddenly appeared out of thin air. None of the five people expected that Mado wasn't going to leave. Instead, he was deliberately hiding behind the cave. When they ran out, he jumped out first and chopped down the first person who came out with his saber.
Mado had already decided to clean up the sect and get rid of evil for the people. Naturally, he would not say anything to these people. Moreover, Mado was not stupid. He was just soft-hearted. He had already seen that these people wanted to kill him.
In terms of wit, the five of them together could not compare to Mado.
Mado's saber had been modified by Gu Zheng. It was much sharper than their sabers. Mado's saber. half of the man's head.........................
After killing one of them by surprise, Mado immediately ran back. After killing one of them, there were still four of them left. There were too many of them, so it was not wise to use force.
"Chase after him!"
With just a glance, the four of them immediately chased after him. It was as if the one who died was not their companion. Mado was stronger and more agile than them. These days, they had barely been able to eat their fill through robbing. However, they were not completely full. Their lives were ordinary.
On the contrary, Mado ate and dressed well in the prefectural city. In terms of nutrition, he was much better than them. In terms of physical strength, they were not as good as Mado.
"Aiya!"
As they ran, one of them suddenly disappeared. The remaining three instantly stopped and looked behind them. Soon, they found their comrade. Unfortunately, this comrade had fallen into a pit. There were sharp bamboos in the pit that pierced through his body.
"A trap?"
The three of them felt their hearts tighten as they suddenly remembered that Mado was very good at setting up traps. It was just that his traps in the past were mainly used to capture people and had never been used to kill people. Now, it seemed that before Mado had come to find them, he had already wanted to kill them. He had been doing this just now.
He purposely ran away and caused them to fall into the trap. It was truly vicious.
The trap was indeed set up by Mado. Just as they guessed, Mado already had the intention to kill them before coming. Not to mention that he could only become immortal by killing these people who did not listen to Gu Zheng's words and broke the oath. Just for the sake of the innocent people, he had to kill these people and avenge them.
Mado was a smart person. Since he had made a decision, he would not be rash. Before he came up the mountain, he had already made arrangements.
"Mado, we are brothers. How can you be so cruel?!"
One of the remaining three shouted. Mado also stopped in the distance and shouted, "I can't compare to you in terms of cruelty. You know that we are brothers, so you should know what I, Mado, hate the most!"
What Mado hated the most was, of course, cruel people. Back then, his village was harmed by cruel monsters. He was the most sensitive in this aspect. The remaining three knew that Mado had completely abandoned them and was going to kill them.
"Well, in that case, don't blame us for being unrighteous!"
The three of them walked forward carefully. They did not dare to run, fearing that there would be more traps. They would rather be slow than fall into Mado's trap.
Mado continued to run forward. However, this time, he did not go down, but up.
The road up was a rocky mountain. There was no grass. There was no way to set traps in such a place. The three of them were relieved. They sped up and chased after Mado.
Mado kept running down the mountain. There were too many weeds on the ground. Who knew if there were any traps? They did not dare to go too fast. However, they were not afraid to go up. The three of them did not even think about why Mado would do such an abnormal thing.
Mado ran to the top first and then disappeared. The three of them were trying their best to climb up when they were suddenly stunned.
They did not know when a round and large stone had appeared above them. As they watched with wide eyes, the stone was suddenly pushed down. Such a large stone rolled down the slope at high speed. The three of them could not care less about chasing after Mado. They screamed and ran down the mountain, hating their parents for not giving them two more legs.
The three of them wanted to hide to the side, but there was not enough time. Soon, one of them was crushed by the stone. The other was scratched by the stone. He could no longer lift his arm.
The remaining one was fine. However, there were only two of them left. One of them was even injured. The two of them knew that they could not kill Mado with just the two of them.
Mado used to be their big brother. They knew his fighting strength very well. Moreover, Mado was a big and burly man. He was stronger than them.
"Let's go!"
They could not stay here any longer. They could only run now. One of them held his injured arm while the other held his saber. The two of them ran together into the distance.
This time, the one chasing after them was Mado. Mado had one more thing on him. It was a bow that he had borrowed from Wu You. Mado knew what they were going to do this time. He had to prepare everything. Therefore, he had borrowed Wu You's bow.
This bow was also made by Gu Zheng. The bowstring was made from the tendons of a snake demon. It was very strong. Mado only ran for a short distance before he pulled the bowstring. The bone arrow flew out quickly.
The injured man ran slowly. The bone arrow directly penetrated his back. He fell to the ground after running for two steps.
Of the five people, four were killed by Mado. Only one was left. That one ran faster. He was not Mado's opponent. If he did not run now, he would wait for Mado to catch up with him. Only death awaited him.
Mado did not intend to let any of the five people go. He could not let any of them go. He quickly chased after them. However, he only chased for a short distance before he went in the opposite direction.
The man saw that Mado was not chasing after him. He was slightly relieved. However, he did not dare to stop and continued to run forward.
After running for a while, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind. Mado was actually chasing after him. Although he was at the foot of the mountain and was a little far from him, his speed was much faster than him. He was already parallel to him.
Seeing Mado, the man was shocked. He immediately climbed up the mountain. Mado rode his horse up the mountain. When the horse stopped, he dismounted and chased after him.
"Big brother, big brother, don't come over. I beg you, spare me. I know I was wrong!"
The man only crawled for a while before he ran out of strength. Previously, he had chased after Ma Duo for a while, crawling and running. Now, he had run for a while and even climbed the mountain for a while. He was running at a fast speed, so he could not last long.
Although Mado was also tired, he had just saved his strength to ride the horse. He still had some strength left. He finally caught up with the man.
Seeing Mado catch up, the man's face was filled with despair. He hurriedly knelt there and begged for mercy.
"Spare you? Has anyone ever begged you like this? Did you spare them?"
Speaking of this, Mado's face showed a painful expression. He never thought that the people he brought out would be so cruel. He did not even dare to recognize them.
Had anyone ever begged them for mercy? Of course, there were, and there were many. Almost everyone who was caught and killed by them begged for mercy.
Unfortunately, they did not let anyone go. At that time, they were laughing and enjoying the process of these people begging for mercy. Now, the one begging for mercy was finally him.
"Big brother!"
Mado didn't approach the man. Instead, he drew his longbow. The white bone arrow looked abnormally ferocious. The man only screamed in horror and didn't say anything else. The bone arrow pierced through his throat and nailed him to the ground.
Mado was a cautious person. Although the man was exhausted and could not run, a cornered beast would still fight. Since Mado had a bow and arrow, there was no need for him to go forward. He also had a knife in his hand.
With such a close distance, with his archery skills, there was naturally no problem. During the months when Gu Zheng was not around, he and Wu You practiced archery every day. They had already mastered archery skills. Not to mention shooting a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, shooting a slightly bigger target was not a problem at all.
The five of them were all killed by Mado. After killing them, he sat down on the ground, his face full of melancholy.
Killed, he killed again. This time, it was Gu Zheng who asked him to kill. His original intention was not to kill, especially these were his brothers who had been with him day and night. However, he had no choice but to do so.
After resting for a while, he went forward and collected the corpses one by one. He dug a hole and buried them all, so that their bones would not be eaten by wild beasts. This was the last thing he did for them.
After doing this, he returned to the cave and released the two trembling women. He led them down the mountain and showed them the way home. This was the only thing he could do.
"I'm back!"
In the prefectural city, after Mado returned, he knelt outside Gu Zheng's room without saying a word. Wu You, who was cultivating, was alarmed and quickly ran out. The others were also there.
Gu Zheng came out and asked indifferently. Mado's return proved that the scum had been eliminated. Unfortunately, although he had the Book of Life and Death, he could not go to the underworld. Otherwise, he would have captured their souls and punished them for a few decades.
"Young Master, I was wrong!"
Mado suddenly kowtowed heavily. He was soft-hearted and let these people go. In the end, more people were harmed. This was his responsibility, a responsibility he could not bear.
"It's good that you know you were wrong. It was not in vain for me to force you out this time. However, why are you the only one who came back?"
Gu Zheng nodded and asked again. Mado suddenly raised his head with a hesitant expression.
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
"Bring back those who did not do anything wrong. Since they know they were wrong and did not break the precepts, they relied on their own strength to survive. Such people should be given another chance!"
Gu Zheng nodded lightly. He had chased away many people last time. Some of them were indeed bewitched and later knew they were wrong. For such a long time, they were willing to suffer and did not do anything bad. Their nature was not bad. Such people should be given another chance.
"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you!"
Mado immediately kowtowed again, each time louder than the last. His forehead was bleeding.
"Forget it. Since you did not bring them back, let's go pick them up. In any case, I have to go out soon!"
Gu Zheng looked at him and shook his head. He thought that he would be smart enough to understand his intentions and bring these people back. He did not expect him to come back alone. However, it could be seen that this incident had a big impact on him.
This kind of impact was a good thing. It could allow Mado to truly grow. Gu Zheng did not want the person beside him to be a kind Virgin Mary. He would rather not have such a person.
Gu Zheng wanted to go out and leave the prefectural city temporarily. As for how long he would be gone, he was not sure.
Gokusen's celestial art required him to travel around to cultivate faster. If he stayed in the prefectural city, his cultivation would only slow down. Moreover, he had met that old man a few days ago, which made him feel a sense of danger.
He would go out for a period of time. It could be half a year or even a year. Then, he would come back and treat this place as his home and a place to cultivate.
This time, he was not alone. Wu You, Aunt Cui, and everyone else would be brought along. They had met that old man in Dragon Lake Town. If he came back for revenge one day and did not see him, it would be troublesome to deal with Wu You and the others. Anyway, Gu Zheng did not have a real destination. He might as well bring them along and go out together.
He did not have a goal, so he went to pick up those people along the way.
"Yes, yes!"
Ma Duo responded once again. Under Gu Zheng's instructions, Wu You had already helped him up and even went to bandage the wound on his head. Then, he very proudly showed off his strength to him. Seeing Wu You smack off a piece of tree bark with a palm strike, then strike out a stone seal with another palm strike, and still be able to lift over two hundred kilograms of heavy objects, Ma Duo was very envious.
He was only envious. He understood that he would soon be able to do what Wu You did. In the future, he would work even harder to cultivate and strive to surpass Wu You as soon as possible.
Gu Zheng gave the last Marrow Cleansing Pill to Mado. Two days later, a group of four large carriages left the prefectural city. Now, Gu Zheng was not poor. Even without the filial piety of the major clans in the city, he could casually take out the jade bottles and jade chests he had obtained last time and exchange them for a lot of silver.
Out of the four carriages, they considered that they still needed to pick up people, so they prepared an extra one.
This time, the four carriages had a total of eight horses. This did not include the little white dragon. The little white dragon was relaxed this time. It followed by itself and was very leisurely. When Gu Zheng was interested, he could even ride it for a spin.
However, ever since Gu Zheng had advanced, the number of times he rode a horse had suddenly decreased. He could now fly, which was faster than riding a horse. Other than Gu Zheng and Taotie, the little white dragon was not allowed to be ridden by anyone else. Now, it had become the most leisurely of the group.
The two-horse carriage was faster than a single horse, so they set off early. This time, it only took a day for them to arrive at Longhu Town. They stayed in the town.
It was the same inn as last time. The owner of the inn actually recognized them. When he saw that they had turned into four large carriages, he was very surprised. He even said that he had not misjudged them and that they were from one of the major clans in the prefectural city.
Only the major clans of the prefectural city could have such wealth.
Wu You did not argue, and there was no need to. Strictly speaking, they were indeed a major clan in the prefectural city. It was just that they did not have as many people as the other major clans. However, none of those clans dared to offend them. In terms of status, they were number one.
Longhu Town was still the same. The people here were still spreading the legend of the Dragon God. No one knew that their Dragon God had really become a dragon. It was a pity that he was no longer here.
A few days later, they arrived at the place where those people worked. Mado had inquired before, but he did not see these people. He did not know what to say when he saw them. He only inquired about their situation and found out that although they had to work in exchange for food, at least they could survive, so he left.
This time, their arrival immediately caused a stir in the village.
This village had never seen so many carriages, let alone such luxurious carriages. Many children timidly hid behind the adults, looking at them with envy and caution.
Seeing that these people were actually looking for longbows, everyone was stunned.
Soon, a total of six yellow-faced and muscular men were brought over by Mado. When they saw Gu Zheng, they knelt there and cried bitterly, expressing their repentance. They were kneeling for Gu Zheng. However, Wu You was in front of Gu Zheng's carriage, so many people thought that they were kneeling for Wu You.
These days, Wu You had been living like a prince. In addition, he had started cultivating again. Wu You was no longer the same as before. There was a faint noble aura around him, and he really looked like the head of the family.
Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Wu You, and directly asked Wu You to let them rise. Without saying anything, he took them away.
More than twenty people had left, and now there were only six people left. They were all men. The women and children had died long ago. The key was that they had not starved to death, nor were they killed by others. They had been killed by those five people.
The reason those five people killed them was very simple. They wanted to rob them of their little food and reduce their burden at the same time.
In addition to the women and children, a few people who did not agree with their actions were also killed by them. These few people ran away. Originally, seven people ran away. One of them fell sick and died. Now, only six of them were left.
The six of them, plus Mado's group of seven, had more than thirty people in the bandit's lair. Now, only six of them were left.
However, after being washed away by the waves, the remaining people were at least obedient and did not have any bad intentions. Those who were disobedient and had bad intentions had been eliminated.
