The Way of Spiritual Journey

They couldn't be driven away, and they couldn't be beaten. They were treated to good wine and meat, but in the end, their status was taken away. There's no one else who has become a bandit like this. If they don't run away, are they going to stay here and be served food?

"So what are your plans for the future?" Li Lang wasn't surprised this time; he had expected it. He would have run away too.

So when he asked that question, he had a plan in mind; after a few days of rest, he had adjusted his mindset to return to society, and he had finished eating the wild boar meat. All good things must come to an end, and it was time to part ways.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Fengchu's eyes lit up. "Sir, you have descended from the heavens with extraordinary bearing. You are perfectly suited to be king. We two will do our utmost to assist you."

"Cough cough." Upon hearing this, Li Lang felt a violent churning in his stomach, and he almost choked on his breath. He quickly waved his hand, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"Sir, there's no need to refuse. We are absolutely sincere. You don't know, we've been starving for three days before this..." Monk Wolong said sincerely, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Before Wolong could finish speaking, Fengchu stopped him with a look.

Li Lang saw this and found it amusing. He could never be a king; his ideal was to have fun, and a wonderful, colorful world awaited him.

"Alright, that's enough. After we finish this meal, we'll call it a day. From now on, we'll meet again someday." Li Lang stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said without the slightest hint of reluctance.

"Eeya, eeya." At this moment, the little saint, who had already eaten meat and was wandering outside, rushed in and started waving his arms and legs at Li Lang while chanting.

"You mean, someone's coming?" Li Lang frowned, understanding what the monkey meant.

The monkey nodded quickly.

Upon seeing this, the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix were startled. This monkey was truly intelligent, able to express everything it saw and heard. However, Li Lang was even more intelligent, able to understand animal language—a truly remarkable ability.

Of course, Li Lang couldn't understand animal language; he could only comprehend what the monkeys were saying, which could be considered a form of communication ability.

Li Lang didn't have this ability before; he only suddenly came to understand it in the last few days. It felt very mysterious and somewhat inexplicable.

"Let's go take a look." Li Lang didn't say much, and walked out with a wave of his hand.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the courtyard, they saw a black figure rapidly approaching from a distance.

Upon seeing the courtyard, the shadowy figure, who had come this way, increased its running speed even more drastically when it saw someone else emerge.

Upon seeing this, Li Lang frowned deeply. He knew that if he were alone and in distress, he would surely be pursued by others.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, a whistling sound rang out, and a sharp arrow came whistling from a distance.

"Clang!" The dark figure didn't turn around, but swung his hand back, and the sharp arrow was blocked, hitting the tree with a "clang".

"Friends ahead, help me intercept this beast, and I will reward you handsomely!" After the first attack failed, a voice came from behind.

Three dark figures appeared in the distance, moving with astonishing speed.

Li Lang and the other two remained motionless, exchanging glances before quickly reaching a consensus.

You must never meddle in other people's business.

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix had already shaken their heads and turned away. Li Lang did not hesitate and was about to turn around, but he was a step too slow.

It was this slight delay that allowed the dark figure in front of him to pounce into his arms.

"Oh, oh!" Li Lang was truly shocked this time, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his situation.

A dark figure entered his arms, and his first touch told him it was a woman. Li Lang, in his thirties, had no such experience, but he knew it all too well from his past life!

this......

Okay, you can't throw away something you've already got; if you do, you'll be seen as ungrateful, and that would get you struck by lightning.

Li Lang had sworn a few days ago that he would never again suffer the pain of being struck by lightning in this lifetime.

It feels the same, no, it feels great. This is a body for dancing... no, it's a body for martial arts, flexible and supple, capable of unlocking all sorts of difficult moves...

"Pah! What a load of rubbish!" Li Lang's lapse in concentration lasted only a moment, but he couldn't help but blush and quickly spat at himself, truly deserving of a scolding.

But despite the cursing, it didn't affect his actions. Li Lang tightened his grip, holding the woman in his arms as he tried to retreat back into the courtyard.

"Thank you for your help, my friend. Please hand that man over to us, and we will reward you with a hundred taels of gold." At this moment, three men in black who had been chasing after him arrived and surrounded Li Lang in a triangular formation. One of them bowed and spoke with great sincerity.

Before Li Lang could react, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick behind him paused and immediately turned around.

"Pay first!" the two said in unison.

"No, no. They are barbarians." Upon hearing the voices of Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, the body in Li Lang's arms trembled and quivered.

Sigh, if this is how it's played, then there's no point. Li Lang knew, of course, that the woman in his arms was still alive; at most, she was just unconscious. Otherwise, Li Lang wouldn't have had a chance to make a move, would he?

Well, that's it. I didn't expect those two to be so easily tempted by money. The moment they opened their mouths, they scared the woman awake.

"Barbarians?" Li Lang narrowed his eyes, then shook his head. "I don't know them."

The woman saw Li Lang's eyes narrow, and she was initially delighted, thinking that things were looking promising. The barbarians were a foreign race, and by nature violent, they had repeatedly harassed the people of Dayuan. Therefore, the people of Dayuan never hesitated to fight the barbarians when they encountered them.

Just as the woman's eyes were filled with anticipation, Li Lang said he didn't know her.

The screen suddenly froze.

The woman felt a chill in her heart, glared at Li Lang, and then twisted her body, breaking free from his embrace.

"Come on, let's get going." The woman drew a dagger and made a standard hand-flipping motion.

As the old saying goes, you can tell a master's skill with a single move. This woman was a master, like a cheetah preparing for a desperate fight.

"Sigh, what a pity. Her looks are so-so, but she has a good figure. It's just that her temper is terrible, which is a real headache. Thumbs down!" As soon as the woman finished speaking, Li Lang felt a sharp pain in his heart, rolled his eyes, and immediately gave her a bad review.

Seeing the woman escape, the three men opposite her decided to fight to the death. Without saying a word, they drew their knives, their faces contorted with rage, and slowly advanced.

"No, wait a minute, we haven't paid yet." At this point, Monk Wolong became unhappy. What happened to the agreement to pay first? If a fight breaks out and one or two people die, who will we ask for the money?

The monk was clearly enraged. He rushed forward and spread his arms to shield the woman behind him.

Upon seeing this, Li Lang wanted to cover his face. He had never seen such a money-grubbing monk before!

However, it's not just monks who are greedy for money; Taoist priests are the same.

Not to be outdone, Fengchu also took a step forward, pointing his whisk in the air, "That's right, no one gets a chance to move without paying."
