Chapter 28 Old Man Guo
Li Muran looked in the sound and saw a dirty, white-bearded old man.
When the old man was extremely excited when he saw Li Muran, he said "Wu Ming, Wu Ming" in his mouth, so he was about to rush towards him. Seeing this, several people around him rushed to Li Muran and begged hard.
At this time, the disciple surnamed Wang shouted: "Everyone stayed there! If you don't abide by the rules, you will be expelled from the church!"
This sentence seemed to have a strong shocking power. These mortals did not dare to move again immediately, but they were still begging.
"Dad, do you recognize me?" Li Muran was very curious and was about to walk towards the old man, but the disciple surnamed Wang quietly said to Li Muran: "Senior Brother Zhao, this old man has been here for several months. His demands are very difficult. The brothers and brothers are unwilling to take over, so they have been delayed until now!"
"Thank you for your reminder, I'll ask clearly first!" Li Muran nodded with a smile to the disciple surnamed Wang, and then walked towards the old man.
"Dad, do you recognize me?" Li Muran asked curiously.
"Of course I recognize you, Zhao Wuming, a boy from the Zhao family! You have grown up a lot. When you left the village, you were less than eleven years old. Now," the old man pinched his fingers excitedly and calculated: "It's been more than six years, you're almost seventeen years old!"
"It turns out that it is Zhao Wuming's old friend in the secular world!" Li Muran suddenly realized in his heart and said, "I don't know what to call my father? What's the matter here to ask for help from the Immortal Sect?"
"I am Dad Guo. I have watched you grow up since I was a child. Do you not recognize me anymore?" The old man looked stunned.
Li Muran shook his head and said, "To be honest, I suddenly fell ill a few years ago, and I forgot everything before I got sick."
"Wu Ming, are you sick? How about you now? Isn't it better?" Old Man Guo was suddenly very nervous, and his concern was beyond words.
"It's okay now!" Li Muran smiled and said, "Let's do this, let's talk first, come here without hesitation and kneel down and beg for the Immortal Sect. What's the matter?"
"It's not for that damn demon bird!" Old Man Guo said hatefully, "The demon bird at Yajiao Peak keeps harassing us and other herb collectors. Several herb collectors in the village were killed. The mortals, such as us, cannot deal with the demon bird, so we can only come to ask for help from the immortal!"
"Demon bird? Have you seen it with your own eyes? How big is it and what magical powers do you have?" Li Muran asked carefully.
Old Man Guo said and gestured. After hearing this, Li Muran roughly understood the whole story.
According to the old man, it should be a demon bird. No matter how big an ordinary bird is, it can only blow out a strong wind. The strong wind that the demon bird fanned out is sharper than the blade, and can easily cut off the rope that the herbicide collector tied to his waist to save his life, and even cut deep marks on the hard rocks.
"It should be the Wind Blade Technique, a primary spell with wind attributes. This is a demon bird, it should have been opened soon." Li Muran said in his heart.
The so-called spiritual enlightenment is a saying for demons, similar to the consecration of humans. Only after humans are consecrated can they become immortals; and monsters also need to be distinguished from ordinary birds and beasts and become demons that can be cultivated.
"No wonder the other brothers are unwilling to accept the appeal of Old Man Guo. Dealing with a demon bird is much more troublesome than dealing with a monster!" After hearing this, Li Muran finally understood what Junior Brother Wang said.
Perhaps the strength of the same level of monster birds and monster beasts is almost the same, but the monster birds can fly high altitudes. If the monster birds fly to the sky when they encounter danger, they will not be able to chase and kill them. And these disciples rarely can afford flying talismans such as talisman paper cranes. Even if there is a talisman paper crane, they are reluctant to spend a lot of energy to fulfill the wish of a mortal.
Anyway, Duan Fanchen has many tasks, and most disciples choose the easiest one to complete. Even if Old Man Guo waits, it will be difficult for him to meet a disciple who is willing to accept his request.
"That demon bird should be the one that killed your father back then!" Old Man Guo added hatefully.
"My father?" Li Muran was stunned, and then realized that Old Man Guo was talking about Zhao Wuming's father.
Li Muran said to Old Man Guo: "Let's go, I'll explain to the sect, and try to get rid of the demon bird."
Old Man Guo was overjoyed: "Wuming, have you learned the magic of immortality?"
"I've learned a little." Li Muran smiled slightly.
He planned to take this opportunity to learn about Zhao Wuming's life experience. After all, he now exists in this world as Zhao Wuming.
"Just treat it as a reward for Zhao Wuming's nurturing grace." Li Muran said in his heart.
Seeing that Li Muran intended to take the matter, the disciple surnamed Wang frowned and whispered: "Senior Brother Zhao, you really have to take on this task. This is very difficult! Moreover, the sect has strict regulations on this. If it cannot be completed, it will be punished."
"That's it!" Li Muran smiled, then took out two spirit stones from his arms and stuffed them into the other party's hands, saying, "Junior Brother Wang, please arrange it and let him clean his clothes first, and then I will go to Duanfanchen with him."
"This is easy! Please wait for a while for Senior Brother Zhao!" The disciple surnamed Wang took the spirit stone in great joy, agreed with all his words, and took Old Man Guo into the inner hall.
When other mortals saw this scene, they were both disappointed and envious, and gradually stopped crying and begging.
Half an hour later, Old Man Guo, wearing a clean Taoist robe, walked out, carrying a large bag of free food on his shoulder.
Probably, he didn't find a suitable mortal dress for a while, so the disciple surnamed Wang changed into an old man Guo's Taoist robe.
However, this outfit makes Old Man Guo look particularly energetic, completely different from before.
Li Muran had already registered with the senior brother Deacon of the Foreign Affairs Office, so he took Old Man Guo and left Yuanfu Sect with him.
Li Muran has been practicing for more than a year, and the heaven and earth are abundant in his body. These vital energy nourishes his body all the time, so his body is different from ordinary people and is particularly agile. It is no problem for him to walk on a mountain road.
And the old man Guo was also very healthy. Although he was over 60 years old, he could cross mountains and ridges and walked out of dozens of miles of mountain road in one breath without having to rest.
Li Muran was curious and asked, and Old Man Guo said that their herb collectors often climbed cliffs to pick herbs. These mountain roads were like flat ground for them and were nothing!
The two of them were very fast, and a few days later they arrived at the outer periphery of the Kuanglu Mountains. Old Man Guo said that he would climb over two more peaks and walk more than a hundred miles along the ravine to reach the Yao Rural Area, where Zhao Wuming was born.
As they walked, Li Muran suddenly stopped. The narrow mountain road ahead was blocked by a big falling tree. If they wanted to continue moving forward, they would either destroy the tree, fly over the tree, or pass through the mountains and forests next to them.
"Hmph, a trick of being a scammer!" Li Muran said in his heart. In "The Story of the Sutra", this can only be regarded as the least trap. I am afraid that except for a few ignorant young men, no cultivator with a little experience will be fooled.
Li Muran looked at the broken part of the woods and saw a relatively flat gap, which was obviously caused by man, indicating that someone deliberately knocked down the tree to block the mountain road.
"This place has already left the scope of the four sects of Kuanglu, which is considered a secular world. I didn't expect that there would be thieves and thieves ambushing!" Li Muran's heart was stern and looked deep into the forest: "The thieves and thieves should be hidden in the forest, and maybe there are other mechanisms inside."
"Let's go for a detour!" Li Muran said to Old Man Guo. Destroying the trees blocking the road was just a small task for Li Muran, but he didn't know how powerful the thief repairman hidden here was, so he was unwilling to take risks.
"Okay!" Old Man Guo also saw the mystery here.
The two were about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a noise came from the woods. Immediately afterwards, seven or eight big men holding big swords and axes, with a ferocious expression rushed out from all over the woods, surrounding Li Muran and the others.
"It turns out that it's just a bunch of mortal bandits!" Li Muran couldn't help but chuckled. If those brothers knew that they were almost scared by these mortal bandits, they would definitely laugh at him for a long time.
"I'm a little too cautious, but it's not a bad thing!" Li Muran said mockingly.
Old Man Guo immediately took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, held it in both hands, and stepped forward and said, "Dear heroes, no respect is given to me. I have borrowed this place, so please make it easier!"
"Hmph!" Li Muran snorted in his nose, but did not stop Old Man Guo from doing it. He disdained to fight with these mortals. If the other party knew each other and left, it would be best; otherwise, it would not be too late for him to take action.
Unfortunately, these bandits did not leave. The man in the leader looked at Li Muran with a grin and said, "This kid is very delicate and tender. He looks very arrogant. He is the young master of a wealthy family. He is just a little bit of money. How can he be enough? Fourth brother, go and search!"
"Yes, brother!" A thin man agreed and slowly approached. He held a knife in one hand and pointed at Li Muran with the other: "Don't move honestly, otherwise I, the Fourth Master..."
"Looking for death!" Li Muran snorted coldly.
He turned around and said to Old Man Guo, "Stand and don't move!"
Old Man Guo was stunned. Before he could understand, Li Muran slapped a talisman on his back. Suddenly, a layer of yellow light appeared on Old Man Guo's body, turning into a layer of transparent stone armor. Li Muran himself also pasted a stone armor charm at the same time.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" The thin man was stunned and slashed at Old Man Guo with one knife. Old Man Guo was so scared that he wanted to dodge to the side, but remembered Li Muran's instructions just now, and gritted his teeth and kept motionless, allowing the knife to slash at him.
"Crack!" With a light sound, the thin man's blade was involuntarily tilted to the side as soon as he touched the layer of stone armor, and then slashed heavily on the rocks with a "bang", sparks rose.
