Chapter 47 Hunter and Prey

These three casual cultivators have been together for many years, and their tacit understanding is self-evident.

Just by looking at each other, they knew what they were thinking.

Although Zhu Yun rejected their deliberate kindness, the news they wanted to know was already revealed in his words.

The female cultivator chuckled and said, "Fellow Taoist is so straightforward! My brother and sister like to make friends with people like Taoist Friend the most!"

"Yes," Chou Xiu nodded and said, "As expected of a disciple from a large sect, he is not comparable to us casual cultivators!"

The bearded man smiled heartily, then lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Taoist is just going down the mountain to practice. Is there any good place to go?"

Are you asking for information?

Zhu Yun remained calm, thinking that no matter where he said he was going, these three people would probably find a reason to follow him.

He simply said generously: "I want to go to Barren Stone Mountain to visit! I heard that Barren Stone Mountain is bounded by the mountainside, and the top and bottom are completely different. I thought I would try my luck!"

"Barren Rock Mountain? I've heard of that place too, it's actually pretty good!"

The bearded man followed Zhu Yun's words and winked at the female cultivator.

The female cultivator understood and said with a smile: "Brother, we have nothing to do, and we have met this fellow Taoist like before! Why don't we go together and go to the Barren Rock Mountain to have a look? I also happen to have someone to look after me along the way!"

The ugly cultivator followed: "It is often said in the world that there must be monsters when things go wrong, and there must be treasures in natural phenomena! There is such a scene in this barren rock mountain. Maybe we will have some adventures when we go there?"

Zhu Yun squinted his eyes, it was just as he expected.

These three casual cultivators probably rely on killing people and selling goods to obtain training resources!

I just don’t know if they are the murderers of Zhang Tianyuan!

Zhu Yun didn't expect that he would meet him so easily, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions without evidence.

These three people could see through their own realm at a glance, and then came up to them, so they must not be on guard against them.

Not as good as...

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "That's great! It's my first time going down the mountain and I'm walking alone. If there are three Taoist friends to look after me all the way, I will be very grateful!"

"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say! It's not easy for us to embark on this path of cultivating immortals. If we meet by fate, we will naturally take care of each other! If the Lingjian Sect can accept some outer disciples in the future, please give some information to the three of me!"

The big man with the beard said with a smile, and found a reason for his purpose of befriending Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun readily agreed, having already made plans to test it in his heart. He reached out and took out a cup of spiritual wine from his storage bag!

"I have to rely on three fellow Taoists to take care of me along the way. I am very grateful!" As he said this, he lowered his voice and said: "This is the spiritual wine I brought from the sect, and ordinary fellow disciples don't have it! The three brothers and I are We hit it off right away, let’s enjoy the spirit wine today!”

Zhu Yun deliberately stretched his head, but actually released his spiritual consciousness slightly and observed the expressions of the three people.

Sure enough, the greedy look disappeared in the eyes of these three people!

He didn't say what kind of spiritual wine it was, but he could see the three people's postures clearly, and they even made eye contact.

Zhu Yun's heart tightened and he was ready to explode.

However, the bearded man unexpectedly refused!

Zhu Yun was slightly startled, isn't it?

I saw the big man put his hand on the wine cup and said seriously: "This spiritual wine that fellow Taoist brought out must be good! But drinking it here is too showy! When I go to Barren Stone Mountain, find a place to sit It’s not too late to come down and have a good chat!”

"Brother is right, wealth must not be exposed!" The female cultivator said quickly: "Although there are mostly mortals in this town, there are also many cultivators secretly watching! If you are targeted by a strong person, you will be in trouble!"

"Yes, I suffered a big loss last time! There are dragons and snakes at the foot of the mountain, and there is a market ten miles away. If someone followed me all the way to Barren Stone Mountain..."

Chou Xiu also shook his head.

After hearing the three people talking separately, Zhu Yun understood immediately.

It’s not that they don’t want the wine, but they want to kill people and steal goods in the wilderness!

Zhang Tianyuan is just an ordinary monk, but between the lines of his words just now, he said he was out for training.

The identity is different!

Besides, this wine cup can hold ten wine gourds!

How could you not be moved?

Don't expose your wealth... Do you really think I don't know?

Zhu Yun had already determined that these three people were the murderers, but he put away the wine with a pretended regret and said: "I can't have a happy drink with the three of them, alas..."

The big man with the beard smiled heartily and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to go to Barren Rock Mountain and drink at night with the stars above your head anywhere?"

"That's right," Chou Xiu nodded: "How can such a good wine be worthy of this mundane food? We went to Barren Stone Mountain, and we will pick some spiritual fruits to drink, so as not to waste natural resources!"

"It's only a day's journey to Barren Rock Mountain! Why don't we set off at this time? Isn't it just right when night falls?"

The female cultivator said with a smile.

Zhu Yun's eyes lit up and he said: "What a great idea! Why don't we set off now!"

"There's no rush, no hurry," the bearded man pointed at the table and said with a smile, "This is a guest invited by fellow Taoist. If the dishes are not even served, wouldn't it be a waste of fellow Taoist's good intentions?"

It has to be said that these three people spoke in an orderly manner. If Zhu Yun had not correctly guessed their identities, he would have been involved and unable to figure out their thoughts!

"That's right, fellow Taoist, we often travel far, so we have a carriage ready! When we finish eating, wouldn't it be nice to sit in the carriage and go together?"

An ordinary meal, everyone has their own agenda.

Zhu Yun originally entered the restaurant just to take a look around, but he didn't expect to gain so much.

Although I was excited, I also knew that a battle was inevitable.

It's not like he has never killed one against three.

But I also know that if you want to have a higher winning rate, you must find an opportunity to kill one person in a sneak attack first...

After making a decision in his mind, Zhu Yun thought that they had just mentioned the city ten miles away.

He had heard that Fangshi was a centralized place for exchanging resources among monks. When he was going to Yao Kingdom, he would definitely go to Fangshi to prepare some things.

It’s not a bad thing to plan ahead and find out early.

"Three Taoist friends, I have just come down the mountain, but I have never seen this monk's village. When I come back, can you take me to gain some knowledge?"

After hearing what Zhu Yun said, the three of them started talking to each other about things about Fangshi.

There is no need to hide these, they can just divert Zhu Yun's attention, so why not?

Half an hour later, the four of them were eating happily and chatting happily.

Zhu Yun got to know Fangshi, which was equivalent to a place where some monks organized themselves to buy and sell goods.

It was no different from his village in Barren Stone Mountain.

Every month, there are always two days when brokers gather to collect some things.

The only difference is that the markets are all about exchanging cultivation resources or buying and selling spiritual stones.

However, the scale of this market is very small, and most of them are monks in the Qi Refining Stage. It is rare to see a Foundation Building Stage in a year.

The carriage staggered onto the road.

The ugly cultivator was driving the carriage, the big man was leaning on the shaft of the carriage, while the female cultivator and Zhu Yun were sitting in the carriage.

This is the tacit understanding of the three casual cultivators who have been working together for many years.

With only a female cultivator by his side, it would naturally be easy for Zhu Yun to relax his vigilance and possibly come up with more things to say.

Zhu Yunxu and Wei Snake pretended to chat, but the female cultivator relaxed a lot.

From time to time, she tapped the wooden edge of the carriage with her fingers.

Zhu Yun didn't understand what it meant, but he knew it was conveying information.

However, there was nothing unusual about the carriage, and Zhu Yun was not in a hurry to take action.

The sun was setting, and the carriage had already reached a wilderness.

Seeing that there was no one around, the big man winked, and Chou Xiu drove the carriage around a corner and drove towards the back slope of a hill.

Zhu Yun did not relax his vigilance. He seemed to be taking a nap, but in fact he was just pretending to be asleep.

As soon as the carriage turned around, it was already known that these three people were probably going to take action...

Are you so impatient?

Not even Barren Rock Mountain!

Zhu Yun sneered in his heart, and when the carriage was bumpy, he suddenly turned over and took out a fireball talisman and an earth shield talisman respectively and clasped them between his hands.

You want to be a hunter, but you don’t know that in my eyes, you are the prey!

Suddenly, the carriage jolted to a stop, and the female cultivator groaned and shouted to the outside: "Brother, second brother, what's going on?"

"This car is in disrepair and is broken down! It's getting late, I'm afraid we have to stay here all night!"

The big man complained.

"Ah, why is it so unfortunate?"

The female cultivator stood up and complained, but a fierce light flashed across her eyes!

She thought Zhu Yun didn't see it, so she said helplessly to Zhu Yun: "Fellow Taoist, let's come down and take a look first!"

After that, he reached out and pulled the curtain to get out of the car.

Zhu Yun's face was frozen, and a fireball talisman was suddenly thrown at the female cultivator's back!
