Compared with his elder brother Zheng Huijin, Zheng Daozhu seems to be taciturn. Ever since he met Lin Yang, he has not said much from beginning to end.
The personalities of the two brothers and sisters are completely different. One is carefree, while the other seems to be thoughtful.
Not long after leaving the ruined temple, Zheng Huijin couldn't hold back his restless heart and took the reins from Lin Yang's hand, also wanting to experience the fun of driving a carriage.
Lin Yang simply gave him the rope and felt at ease.
It's just that in this carriage, he and Zheng Daozhu were the only two people. There was little communication between them, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
However, Zheng Huijin's voice came from time to time, and he seemed to be quite excited and stimulating. The carriage was like a large toy in his hands.
After walking for about another stick of incense, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Zheng Huijin's voice suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Brother Zheng?" Lin Yang asked Zheng Huijin doubtfully, and Zheng Daozhu also looked at his brother curiously.
Zheng Huijin pulled the reins in his hand a few times with some doubts, but the carriage remained motionless, no matter how Zheng Huijin adjusted it.
"What's going on? Why doesn't the horse leave?"
The carriage stayed on the muddy road, and the horses were indifferent. The three of them suddenly became alert, and suddenly became silent, listening carefully to the sounds around them.
In this case, it is most likely that the horse was surprised and stopped moving forward. There may be something in front of it that scares it.
Is it a forest beast? Or...?
Several people were thinking of the same thing. Only then did Lin Yang notice that what Zheng Daozhu slowly pulled out from his lower back was a black short blade, while Zheng Huijin also took off the short sword on his back and held it in his hand.
"Want to take a look? Brother Yang!"
Zheng Huijin took the initiative to ask Lin Yang for his opinion.
Lin Yang didn't object. His cold expression seemed unresponsive and seemed very calm.
This is why Zheng Huijin asked for his opinion.
In fact, Lin Yang didn't feel nervous at all, and he didn't even have any expectations for what he was about to encounter, whether it was a wild beast or anything else. No matter what it was, it was just an ant.
But he must also pretend to be a mortal.
So the three of them carefully got out of the carriage and moved lightly to prepare to explore the front.
The road in front of the carriage is not wide and can only accommodate one vehicle. This is because people have been passing here for a long time. The dirt road is in the forest and has heavy moisture, so you can still feel soft when you step on it.
You can sink in a lot at once.
From time to time, a few chirping sounds of birds could be heard in the quiet forest, and the surrounding environment seemed to suddenly become mysterious.
Soon, after passing a corner in front, I peeled off the vines extending from the side, and my field of vision suddenly became much wider. I could see from the dirt road under my feet to the fork in the road far ahead.
But the three of them saw nothing, let alone any kind of wild beast, not even a hair on it.
Zheng Huijin breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly relaxed the dagger he was holding tightly.
"Perhaps a wild beast passed by and has already left." He randomly found an excuse and smiled.
"Let's go back. This horse is frightened and refuses to go away. Just whip it a few times and teach it a lesson and it will be honest."
Lin Yang withdrew his gaze from the space in front of him and nodded.
But when the three of them returned to the place where the carriage stopped, and were about to get back in the car, suddenly a black shadow flashed through the forest on the side, making an obvious swishing sound.
Three eyes looked at it at the same time, and saw nothing except the swaying weeds.
The two Zheng brothers and sisters frowned, looking a little uneasy.
Whoosh!
Another black shadow suddenly jumped through the forest quickly and disappeared again without a trace.
In order not to expose himself, Lin Yang did not use either his consciousness or his aura, and continued to act like an ordinary person. However, with his cultivation strength, he could easily see through the true form of the black shadow even with his eyesight.
Seeing that Zheng Huijin and his sister were getting more and more nervous, Lin Yang thought for a moment and said:
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go take a look."
"Brother Yang, why don't we go together?" Zheng Huijin said quickly.
Lin Yang shook his head.
"No, if it's an ordinary beast, I can deal with it alone. If it's something else that I can't deal with, it's useless for you to go with me."
Zheng Huijin hesitated to speak, so he agreed and promised to wait here for Lin Yang's return.
Lin Yang nodded and ran into the forest in a few steps, disappearing from the sight of Zheng Huijin and his sister.
When he was out of sight of Zheng Huijin and the two of them, Lin Yang's eyes quickly flashed through the dense forest and he snorted coldly.
The next moment, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was dozens of feet away.
The tree trunk as thick as a bowl suddenly shattered into pieces, and a black figure fell from the top. Lin Yang stepped on it hard, unable to move, and could only make a weird cry.
Looking at the dark thing under my feet, it looks quite weird.
It clearly has the shape and body of a human being, but its body is covered with fine black tumors, making it look very weird and ugly.
Although it was a human body, it could not make a human voice and could only scream desperately, trying to break away from Lin Yang's suppression.
Thinking that the world of cultivating immortals in Ju Kingdom seemed to be cooperating with the Celestial Being Sect, Lin Yang frowned.
The strange thing under your feet should be a man-made evil spirit, a product created by using some kind of magic to combine with the human body.
"To actually attack ordinary people in this world directly, these guys are really crazy."
Click!
Lin Yang crushed the evil head with one foot, then raised his eyes with a look of contempt on his face.
All around him, he was unknowingly surrounded by a large group of black shadows, which seemed to be attracted by the monsters under his feet. They were hiding in the dark and were about to swarm up to tear Lin Yang to pieces and devour him.
After a cup of tea, Lin Yang slowly walked out of the forest, as if nothing had happened. Even the clothes on his body left no trace.
As soon as Zheng Huijin and his sister saw him coming back, they hurriedly asked:
"How's it going? Did Brother Yang find out?"
Lin Yang's move was very secretive, and he didn't even make a sound, so the two of them didn't notice it at all.
Lin Yang shook his head, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying on his cold face.
"It's just a few wild beasts. They have been dealt with by me. Let's continue on our way."
When Zheng Huijin and the two heard Lin Yang's answer, they had no doubts. It would be best if they could leave here. They definitely hoped that nothing would happen.
Sure enough, when the three of them returned to the carriage, Zheng Huijin pulled the reins again, and the originally motionless carriage began to move forward again, and everything returned to calm.
Lin Yang, on the other hand, relied on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time flew by and another ten days passed.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Zheng Huijin restrained himself a bit along the way, no longer lingering on the scenery along the way, and his speed was much faster.
On this day, the three of them drove the carriage and finally stopped at a camp near Heguan Mountain where someone was setting a fire.
