This move shocked Xu Zhi, who could only hesitate and couldn't say anything else.

The leader in front of me, a skinny Taoist with a goat's short beard, is called Jiao Jizhong.

Before Xu Zhi lost power, the two of them managed to maintain some friendship and became good friends with each other because they were both good at the Dan Cauldron Huang Bai technique.

But after it was rumored that Xu Zhi fled due to cowardice and killed the elder Gu Jun's only son, his reputation was completely ruined. Those in the faction who downplayed those who downgraded and supported those who promoted others also started to add insult to injury.

It was also at that time that Jiao Jizhong quietly broke off his friendship with Xu Zhimin and stopped communicating with each other for fear of getting into trouble.

"me……"

Under the aggressive looks of Jiao Jizhong and others, Xu Zhi felt that the current situation might not be good, and was about to force himself to speak.

A young man in green clothes suddenly sneered and interrupted:

"Senior Brother Xu, I respect you because you entered the profession early and have a high seniority! That's why I have protected you all the way! But it shouldn't be difficult to ask for some favors from you in return for treating you with such hard work and care?"

"It's what it should be, it's what it should be...it's just Junior Brother Zhang, which thing on Xu have you taken a liking to this time?"

Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and replied with his hands raised.

"I heard that in order to go to the abyss, my senior brother sold two talismans and bought a flying sword called 'Mai She'? I wonder if I can part ways with you?"

The young man in green winked.

Immediately, all the Taoists from the Xuanzhen Sect around him understood and laughed in their hearts. They stepped forward and quietly surrounded Xu Zhi in the circle of people.

"Mai She Sword? Junior Brother Zhang, how do you know about this?" Xu Zhi was startled.

"If others don't know, I have to do it myself. I have my own way! If the flying sword falls into the hands of senior brother, it can be regarded as a pearl covered in dust. If it is not presented to senior brother Jiao, it can be regarded as a show of brother's care."

The green-clothed young man smiled slightly and said: "If it hadn't been for Senior Brother Jiao's righteous action, Senior Brother might have died yesterday. How could he be able to argue with me here? This kindness must be repaid!"

It's because of Xu Zhi's good temper.

Hearing these words, anger arose in my heart and I couldn't help but frown.

Yesterday.

It was clear that Jiao Jizhong and the others were being chased by a ghost. They happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Zhi, who was walking alone, and dragged him into the water and captured the young man.

It seems like this.

Where does the kindness come from?

"...If I had known this would be the case, I should have sent a message to my junior brother when I went to the abyss! Ask him to help me make up my mind. I regret trusting others so easily!"

Faced with this situation.

Xu Zhi felt ashamed and secretly regretted it.

In the final analysis, the reason why Xu Zhi ended up in the abyss was just a matter of ignorance.

Long before the "Luo Xian Lead Boat" entered Diyuan, Director Zhang, who had been friendly with Xu Zhi in the deacon's office, visited him late at night and said that he had a good job to entrust to him.

The job was more than simple.

Moreover, after the deed is completed, a large amount of talisman money can be obtained, which can be used for spiritual practice.

When Xu Zhi, who had been in poverty for a long time, heard about this, he was naturally overjoyed and couldn't help but follow suit.

After careful inquiry, Xu Zhi found out.

The mission that Chief Zhang planned for him was to follow the Taoists in the deacon's room, ride the "Luo Xian Lead Boat", and send his fellow disciples into the abyss of the earth.

This matter is indeed not a chore, on the contrary, it is a beautiful thing.

There is no need to fight for one's life with ghosts, and there is no need to work too hard.

As long as the fetal breath is injected into this secret treasure, there is nothing else to take care of.

At most, it's just a matter of spending more time on the lead boat...

Although I have also wondered how such a beautiful job could come to me.

However, Master Zhang was sincere in his words, and thinking that he and she had been on good terms for many years, and that it was not a case of deception, Xu Zhi agreed enthusiastically.

But just because it was a good job, even the Taoist priests working in the deacon's room were vying for it.

If it leaks out, it will inevitably add some twists and turns.

Under Zhang's repeated instructions, Xu Zhi remained tight-lipped and did not say a single word, not even to Chen Heng.

But Xu Zhi didn't know that Yan Ping had already bribed Mr. Zhang, who was on good terms with him, with a book on alchemy.

The mission of driving the "Luo Xian Lead Boat" is naturally a lie.

As for the real scene, they just deceived him into the abyss, and then took the opportunity to kill him with a sword.

Although Chief Zhang hesitated again and again in the end, he still missed his old relationship and did not take Xu Zhi's life with his own hands.

But he was also driven out of the "Luo Xian Lead Boat" and left to fend for himself...

During the ups and downs along the way, perhaps he was lucky enough to survive until now, hiding in Tibet.

Xu Zhi knew that Chen Heng was now in the abyss, so he naturally wanted to meet him as soon as possible, but how vast and endless was the abyss?

After searching so hard, not only did they not find Chen Heng, but they bumped into a group of vicious men like Jiao Jizhong yesterday and were taken along with them.

It can be said that he has just emerged from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again...

…

"Maishe Sword... I still have another use for it. Can you fellow disciples replace it with another one?"

Xu Zhi took a step back, but he was surrounded by Taoists surrounding him. He could not go any further. He hesitated for a moment and said helplessly:

"I would like to use talisman money as a form of filial piety, is it possible?"

"Tao Qian? Senior Brother Xu, we don't want to underestimate you. The three melons and two dates you have in your Qiankun bag now are enough! What's enough? You can even drink a bowl of spiritual tea without even having a seat to sit down!"

A short, fat man in apricot-yellow clothes sneered:

"Yesterday, you were chased by ghosts, but Senior Brother Jiao saved your life despite everyone's opinions! Senior Brother, how can you not repay a favor? This is not the behavior of a gentleman. I don't think you have read enough poems and books!

Did you read it into the dog’s belly?”

"you……"

Xu Zhi's eyes darkened.

Since they were taken along by Jiao Jizhong and others yesterday, they have been asking Xu Zhi for the money in the Qiankun bag on the pretext of saving their lives.

Seeing that the situation was stronger than the others, Xu Zhi could only swallow his anger and let them do what they did.

His own wealth, which was not rich to begin with, became even more destitute after being plundered.

"People are dissatisfied and their desires are hard to satisfy! If I had known this, I should have turned around and ran away when I saw them yesterday!"

Xu Zhi's mind was spinning, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Seeing his silent look, the young man in green raised his eyebrows, and a bit of anger suddenly appeared on his face. He cursed:

"Xu Zhi, I respect your status and give you face, so I call you Senior Brother Xu! If I don't give you face, who are you? Senior Brother Jiao, do you still dare to be stubborn now?"

He flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice:

"Let me ask you, are you going to give me the Koumai Shejian? If you dare to push back any further, it's my mother-in-law's fault. Don't blame me for being rude. I'll give you a good look now!"

There seemed to be something fastened in his sleeve, and green flames floated out. There was a burning sensation in it, which, although it had not yet been released, made the skin irritated.

Seeing that the young man in green was leading the way, everyone started making noises, each reaching into his sleeves and looking at him with extremely evil eyes.

Surrounded by this group of tigers and wolves, Xu Zhi turned pale with fright.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should beg for mercy or fight my way out, but I was so violent that I was stunned.

At this moment.

Jiao Jizhong, who had been watching with cold eyes, smiled slightly and suddenly said:

"How presumptuous! This is how you treat Senior Brother Xu, why don't you apologize quickly?"

"Senior Brother Jiao..."

The young man in green turned his head blankly and blinked at the inexplicable smile on Jiao Jizhong's face.

After a moment, he seemed to realize something, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

"Senior Brother Xu, don't blame us for our rough character, don't blame us..."

A sparse apology sounded.

Seeing that the group of people suddenly became submissive, before Xu Zhi realized it, Jiao Jizhong had already pushed aside the crowd, came to his side, and said with a smile:

"Senior brother, as the saying goes, adults don't remember the faults of villains, so don't pay attention! This abyss is so dangerous, and it's up to you and me, senior brothers, to work together to find a way out of this dead place. You think so or not?

?”

There was an implicit threat in Jiao Jizhong's words.

Even if Xu Zhi heard it, he could only pretend not to know and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, he has no backbone as a monk.

Jiao Jizhong felt even more contemptuous, and the disdain in his eyes became even stronger.

"Senior brother was a smart person before, and he is not bad now. A good thing, a good thing! Only smart people can live long!"

Jiao Jizhong patted Xu Zhi on the shoulder hard, then ignored Xu Zhi who looked embarrassed, and only ordered to everyone:

"I learned through torture from other wandering ghosts that the old ghost named Gao Pi was so vicious that he even killed more than one or two high-ranking masters in the Zifu realm. Fortunately, the only ones we encountered today were the old ghost's tribe.

Your abilities are limited, otherwise you will be ruined."
