The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth overflowed with golden bloodstains, and he came to bully again, and the wooden stick in his hand kept knocking down.

"Papapa......" The flesh and blood of the snake's head are blurred, and the hot blood floats in the air under the effect of the silence of all things, like a little red flower, which is extremely weird.

Lu Gong didn't mean to stop at all, and the next moment, Xu Yang also appeared beside the old man.

The long sword in his hand flashed away, piercing the head of the snake demon directly, nailing it to the tree.

The snake demon was motionless, like a dead thing. Lu Gong clearly felt that it was still alive.

In the distance, at the edge of the valley, the man in black shoots a dagger like fangs.

The dagger broke through the air, but it slowed down outside Lu Gong's three zhang, and finally floated behind him.

Seeing this scene, the man in black couldn't care so much anymore, and jumped directly into the valley in a flash, disappearing.

Lü Gong knew that the assassin was leaving, but he did not dare to make the same mistake again, and never left the old man's side.

Remove Immobilization. The basilisk writhed violently, and the scales on its body almost shattered the tree, but its head was nailed, and it could not escape.

Under the tree, the old man looked up and saw this scene at this time, his face turned pale with fright, and he climbed backwards a few feet before he dared to look back.

"Who sent you? Say! Lu Gong said loudly.

Xu Yang pulled out his sword.

The snake demon screamed, covered in blood, and pounced on Lu Gong.

The anger in Lu Gong's heart was still burning, and at this time, seeing the appearance of the giant snake rushing desperately, the immobilization technique was activated instantly.

The next moment, Xu Yang landed on the snake demon with a long sword in his hand, and kept slashing down.

Moments later, the serpent's body fell to the ground, completely motionless.

The old man seemed to have come to his senses, got up and rolled up the quilt on his body, and put it back on the carriage, his face extremely ugly.

"Elder Zhang, are you alright?" Lu Gong asked subconsciously.

The words had already come out, and Zhang Yizhi shook his head slightly.

Lu Gong realized that the old man was also able to communicate with him. Now, he no longer hid, and went straight back to the carriage.

"You're Lu Gong, right?" Zhang Yizhi was a little frightened, leaned on the carriage, and asked bitterly.

"Exactly." Lu Gong replied, but he didn't know how to communicate with the old man.

"From the moment I saw you suddenly appear in the carriage, I guessed it was you. I'm really bothering you. Zhang Yizhi looked at Lu Gong, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Elder Zhang is polite." Lu Gongdao.

The old man squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I still couldn't help Lin Ruopu after all." Not only did you have to do it yourself, but it almost caused a catastrophe in the end. Ay...... People, the older you get, the less useful you become. ”

"It's enough for Zhang Lao to have this heart! You've done your best. Lu Gong felt the old man's loss and persuaded.

The old man shook his head. It can be seen that after leaving Kyoto, after experiencing these small setbacks, his heart is far less than when he was in Kyoto.

"Now it seems that many people want me to die on the way home. I'm a dying man, but I'm still working so hard, I really don't know whether to feel relieved or sad. ”

"Of course I'm relieved!" Lu Gong said with a smile: "If no one cares about Elder Zhang, then it is really sad." ”

Zhang Yizhi stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat Lu Gong, but in the end he shrank back.

Lu Gong smiled: "It's okay, Zhang Lao just treats me as an ordinary box." ”

"That's not going to work!" Zhang Yizhi suddenly became serious, "I've already seen your design drawings, ordinary boxes don't have that kind of knowledge, let alone all kinds of things you have in Tianshui County." Not to mention ordinary people, the old man thinks he can't do it. ”

He paused and said, "It would be nice if there were more people like you in this world." ”

"Hahaha, many of my friends around me say that I am not human." Lu Gong couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, the old man was interrupted by this, and he was in a much better mood in an instant, and laughed along.

"Let's go, there's still a long way to go. There was someone talking on the road, at least the journey was not so boring. With that, the old man gently raised his whip and set off again.

Maybe it's because of the rest for a while, the old man's condition has improved a lot.

After two more hours of driving, he finally saw the post station on the official road, and the old man insisted on continuing to hurry, but was dissuaded by Lu Gong.

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there. Zhang Lao should wait until he has rested enough before leaving. Lu Gong said.

In fact, along the way, Lu Gong has been thinking about the man in black who ran away.

For Zhang Yizhi's actions, it is impossible to end like this. In order to ensure the safety of the elderly as much as possible, Lu Gong felt that it was better not to have any more accidents and sleep outside.

On the one hand, the enemy was given a chance, and on the other hand, the old man's body may not be able to withstand it.

It's only been a few days, and the old man is getting more and more emaciated.

"You're right!" Zhang Yizhi didn't insist, and arranged accommodation at the moment, and after letting people move their hearts in, he sat on the edge of the bed and refused to sleep.

"I think back then, when I went to Beijing to take the exam, I was less than 20 years old, but I didn't expect that this moment, a Jiazi would pass like this. No wonder the ancients said that life is like a reverse journey, fleeting. With a sigh, he suddenly became interested, turned his head and asked Lu Gong: "By the way, is Mr. Lu a ghost or a spirit?" ”

Lu Gong has already been impacted by this question many times, and he has already accepted his current identity, and said with a smile: "I can't tell myself, let's position it as four dislikes." ”

"Actually, that's good." The old man took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, "In this world, no matter whether it is a person or a spirit, there are difficulties. It's also a good choice to make a box. ”

"Zhang Lao, this is wrong. Being a thoughtful box, there are no fewer troubles than them. The amount of trouble is not based on what you are, but on what you want, isn't it? ”

Zhang Yizhi didn't refute, just nodded and said, "What you said is quite similar to what an old friend of mine said." He is a real outsider, and I am just an ordinary man, and I will never reach the state of separation from falsehood and innocence as he said in my life. ”

"Everyone has their own needs, and there is no superiority, does it? This does not mean that what Zhang Lao wants is worse than that friend. Lu Gong said.

Zhang Yizhi patted his knees and laughed loudly: "I really have to let him listen to this if he has the chance." The old man has long been unaccustomed to his declining appearance of not being happy with things and not being sad for himself. Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Lu Gong couldn't understand why the old man was suddenly so happy.

Is it because I said his friend in front of him? "The one who can be cited as a confidant by Zhang Lao is probably also the dragon and phoenix among people, right?"

In fact, in Lu Gong's heart, because he could probably guess that the friend in the old man's mouth might be the Heavenly Master.

"Who is the dragon and phoenix? Don't you know that there is a saying that smells like each other? What is a confidant? Isn't it just someone who smells like that? ”

When Lu Gong heard this, he also felt that there was some truth, and praised: "Zhang Lao is also sincere!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone and each box couldn't help laughing.
