Chapter 1111 The Taoist Priest of Tianshan Travels with His Companion
Chu Chen looked at the three people in front of him, shifted his body, and then pointed the Glock's gun at the people in front of him.
"Heh, if you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"
"Oh, you have no aura at all. You know, arrogance comes at the cost of your life, and you only have one of those!"
After saying that, he waved to the two people beside him, and the two walked towards Chu Chen with their weapons in hand.
However, the next moment, two soft sounds came from the air. The two people had only taken a few steps when they suddenly clutched their calves and rolled to the ground.
"Who, who attacked me!"
At that moment, an old man's voice came from the darkness.
"Wu Lao Er, tell your men to get lost. This young man is not someone you can afford to mess with."
The man in the lead immediately changed his expression upon hearing the voice.
"Senior Tianshan, who is this kid...?"
"Heh, he's destined to be with me, get lost!"
After hearing the old man's words, the leading man seemed to regard them as a royal decree, and bowed to Chu Chen and the man in the darkness.
Then he said, "I was blind and ignorant, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he pulled up his underling who was rolling on the ground and disappeared into the night.
After the three left, Chu Chen looked in the direction of the sound and thought to himself, "Isn't that the disheveled old man next to me?"
I didn't check Senior Tianshan's cultivation level yesterday, but I figured he must be a master or someone of high status.
So he said into the darkness, "Thank you for getting me out of trouble!"
"Hehe, Wu Lao Er's master and I have some connections. I just don't want them to die at the hands of you, fellow Daoist!"
Chu Chen thought to himself, "You do have some discernment, but that address of 'fellow Daoist' carries a rather unfathomable air."
"Haha, less trouble is always better. I must thank you, fellow Daoist."
"However, I have no martial arts aura on me. How can you be so sure that I can kill them?"
"Hehe, aura is only a measure of a person's level, but strength cannot be determined solely by aura."
"Moreover, fellow Daoist, you are surrounded by an aura of killing intent. They can't see through it, but I can see it to some extent. You can't accumulate this aura without killing a thousand or eight hundred people."
Chu Chen chuckled upon hearing this, thinking to himself that he had met an expert.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you flatter me. On this journey to the Bitter Mountain, why not travel together? When eating meat and drinking wine, you need someone to talk to."
Chu Chen acted on a whim, but after careful consideration, he realized that his understanding of this world was indeed still somewhat lacking.
If one could go to this so-called Bitter Mountain with someone who is both very capable and knowledgeable, who knows what kind of gains one might make?
Little did the old man know that he did not immediately agree after hearing this.
Instead, he said, "It's late, the old man needs to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying that, he fell into deep thought again.
Chu Chen didn't continue speaking, but simply closed his eyes. After what had just happened, he figured no one would dare to disturb him tonight.
As expected, Chu Chen slept exceptionally well that night, until the noise of someone packing things next to him woke him up.
After getting up, Chu Chen saw that all his belongings were still there. He turned his head and saw the disheveled old man smiling at him.
So Chu Chen grabbed some dried meat, picked up his pot, and walked towards the old man.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, although you are much younger than me, we martial artists are judged by strength. I will take the liberty of calling you brother!"
"Fellow Daoist Tianshan, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary person. In terms of cultivation, I dare not be on the same level as you."
As Chu Chen spoke, he glanced at the old man and realized that the old man was probably at the seventh or eighth rank in strength.
In the Kingdom of Gu Ning, he could be considered a powerful figure!
"Haha, being too modest is not good. May I ask your name, brother?"
"Chu Chen!"
"Alright, Brother Chu, I reckon if we go with you, we can at least get some soup!"
Seeing Chu Chen setting up the pot and boiling water, the Taoist of Tianshan said with a smile.
"Eating hard food every day will upset your stomach; we need to eat something softer!"
"Brother Chu is right. This Bitter Mountain is far away, and there are few cities along the way. My mouth is so dry it's practically tasteless. If I had known, I really shouldn't have come!"
"Those who cultivate the Dao should have a pure heart and few desires. Fellow Daoist of Tianshan, this is..."
"If I could become an immortal by being abstinent and not eating or drinking, then immortals would be everywhere!"
Listening to Tianshan's tone, Chu Chen thought to himself, "That's right. Cultivators are still human. The Buddhist practice of detachment and asceticism has always been scorned by Taoists."
Just like Zhu Liuxiang and Chen Qingxuan, they eat and drink as they please, visit brothels whenever they want, and play with whoever is nice to them.
Anyone who gets along with me, I'll eliminate them!
Soon, the dried meat was cooked in the water. Chu Chen took out a handful of seasonings and threw them into the soup, and a pot of steaming meat soup was ready to be enjoyed.
"Fellow Daoist Tianshan was still munching on a chicken leg last night, his mouth must be quite full!"
"Don't even mention it, damn it! Yesterday I finally managed to steal a chicken on the road, and that woman almost cursed my ancestors for eight generations!"
After listening, Chu Chen gave him a thumbs up and then made him a bowl of soup.
Tianshan took it and gulped it down.
"Hey, it would be so nice to have some noodles!"
"Brother Chu, we should arrive in Nanshui City in three days. We'll definitely steal... oops, I mean, buy a lot of noodles then."
After saying that, he put down his bowl and looked at Chu Chen: "Brother, you should have money, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, when we get to Nanshui City, I'll treat you to a restaurant and a brothel!"
Tianshan was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking, "Damn, I've met a good person!"
Yesterday, he saw Chu Chen brazenly stewing meat all by himself. Based on his experience, he figured this guy was either an idiot or possessed immense strength.
Then he met Chu Chen's gaze and saw the murderous intent in his eyes, realizing that he was completely inferior to him.
Furthermore, last night, Wu Lao Er wanted to deal with this kid, but found that the kid was ridiculously calm, as if Wu Lao Er and the others were nothing more than ants in front of him.
Therefore, he concluded that Chu Chen was a powerful and confident person.
Such a person would be penniless. If you were to travel with such a person, you would surely enjoy the finest food, drinks, and lounging comfortably on this trip to the Bitter Mountain.
Before long, after finishing a pot of meat soup, Chu Chen packed his things, mounted his horse, and, together with Tian Shan, leisurely headed south into the mountains.
Tian Shan's luggage was pitifully little, consisting of only a cloth bag and a long sword that he used as a carrying pole.
In the mountains and forests, a group of people smiled as they watched the martial artists gradually enter.
"Sect Master, there are quite a few people here this time, but most of them are not very strong. The strongest one is that old Taoist from Tianshan."
"Hehe, Tianshan, let's just not provoke him!"
