"Prolonging life?"
It sounded impressive. Could it be that this guy really had a way to save Zhang ge?
If that's the case, then this little green snake really couldn't be killed. The idea of an eye for an eye must be based on the premise that Zhang ge is already dead, but if Zhang ge is not dead, then the little green snake naturally wouldn't have to pay for his life.
Although this was the case, I didn't dare to be careless. I quickly grabbed the little green snake from the ground and looked directly at the old man who was fighting with the middle-aged man.
"Yes, I have indeed heard of the 'Tuiyi Xuming' from the Liu family!"
As he spoke, the old man also stopped his actions and nodded directly, affirming the middle-aged man's statement. Then, he changed the subject: "However, are you sure you want to use this method to save the person who was hurt just now?"
It seemed from his words that using the "Tuiyi Xuming" would require a great cost.
"That's my own sister!"
While speaking, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but glare at me fiercely, and then said angrily: "Do I have a choice?"
"Hmph! If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
The old man's eyes suddenly turned cold, he snorted, then turned his gaze back to me and asked: "What do you think?"
"I have no objection!"
As long as it could save Zhang ge, I naturally had no objection. I quickly arched my hand towards the old man and respectfully said: "I'll rely on the predecessor's arrangement!"
Today's events were really thanks to this old man. If it weren’t for him, not only would Zhang ge not be saved, but I and Xia Xiaoyi might also have lost our lives here.
"Well!"
Seeing that I had no objection, the old man nodded and then said to the middle-aged man: "As long as you can save this person, I guarantee the safety of you and your sister’s departure!"
"Thank you, predecessor!"
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, this was not only the law of nature but also the unchanging rule in the cultivation world.
Facing such an unpredictable old man, the middle-aged man had no temper at all. After thanking the old man, he quickly walked to Zhang ge's side and began to check his body.
"Good. It seems that Qiqi did not intend to take his life. Although it’s a penetrating wound, it hasn't touched his heart!"
After examining Zhang ge's body, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then stooped down and directly kissed Zhang ge on the mouth.
Ah?
What's this...what's going on?
The middle-aged man's actions really bewildered me. Could it be that this guy... has a thing for Zhang ge? Oh my, a love story is brewing?
"Cough, cough--"
Knowing that I might have misunderstood, the old man on the side couldn't help but cough and said with a face full of black lines: "This... he's using his own demon pill to stimulate the vitality in that kid’s body, it's not what you think!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man also walked to Zhang ge's side. He quickly formed a sword seal with his right hand, but didn't execute it. Instead, he wrote a big "Jin" in the air, directly over Zhang ge's bleeding wound, and chanted: "A red dot rises in the east, holding a golden whip, riding a white cow, three shouts to stop the flowing water, prohibiting the Hongmen from flowing! No flow!"
"This..."
The old man's bizarre actions undoubtedly startled me, and I couldn't help but ask: "What's this for?"
"An incantation to stop the bleeding!"
At this moment, my gaze was almost entirely focused on the old man, and I completely failed to notice that Xia Xiaoyi beside me was wearing a solemn expression, looking as if she were facing a major enemy.
As she spoke, a miraculous scene unfolded. The wound on Zhang Ge's body, which had been continuously bleeding like a spring, suddenly stopped bleeding and quickly formed a blood restraint!
Wow! Can a talisman stop bleeding?
Well, it seems that I really am quite ignorant. In my impression, talismans have always been associated with exorcising evil spirits, but I never imagined that they could also be used to stop bleeding.
"Thank you, senior!"
Seeing the blood restraint form on Zhang Ge's wound, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel relieved and expressed his gratitude while quickly infusing a strong demonic power into Zhang Ge's body!
"Ugh...Hmm..."
After a couple of muffled groans, Zhang Ge's expression seemed to be in extreme pain. It was clear to see that his wound, which had just formed the blood restraint, was instantly covered with densely packed snake scales.
"Phew..."
After doing all this, the middle-aged man finally let out a sigh of relief and then released Zhang Ge, allowing him to lie down steadily on the ground.
"It's over! He's fine now. Hurry up and release my sister!"
Waving his hand, the middle-aged man's breath seemed to suddenly weaken, and his face became extremely pale. It seemed that, as the old man had said, in order to use "shredding and life-saving," the caster really had to pay a huge price!
Of course, despite this, I still had some doubts about him and once again turned my gaze to the old man.
"Hmm!"
Perhaps sensing my gaze, the old man nodded and then waved his hand, saying, "Alright, release her. She is indeed unharmed!"
"Phew..."
Upon hearing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and without a second thought, I released the small green snake in my hand.
"The green mountains remain unchanged, and the clear waters continue to flow. Today's affairs, my Liu family will definitely seek an explanation from all of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the area. When I reacted, the figures of the middle-aged man and the small green snake were nowhere to be found.
The old man kept his promise and did not pursue, instead, he took a quick look at Zhang Ge on the ground and then walked quickly towards me.
"Thank you, senior!"
Seeing the old man approaching, I couldn't help but quickly bow to him and express my gratitude. Today's events were truly full of twists and turns, and if this old man hadn't lent a helping hand, not even I, among the dozen or so present, would have survived.
"Heh, little guy, you don't remember me anymore?"
The old man helped me up and, who had just looked like a wise man, now "mischievously" winked at me.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, unable to believe it and said, "Are you... the fortune teller under the Tianqiao Bridge?"
Yes! I finally remembered. The person in front of me was none other than the fortune teller who had said my bones were extraordinary and that my forehead was glowing, predicting that I would meet an influential person in the future. Was it really him?
Damn, turns out he's so amazing! I thought he was just a charlatan. I remember that at the time, I used the metaphysical knowledge I learned from Lao Zhangtou to refute his points one by one, and in the end, he not only didn't take my money, but also gave me a "gag fee" of a hundred yuan!
Damn, turns out he's such a hidden master?
"Haha...remembered?"
Seeing that I finally remembered him, the old man seemed to be somewhat pleased with himself and just couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Senior, I..."
Upon hearing his laugh, I felt a bit embarrassed. Thinking about the things I teased him with that day, I really shouldn't have. He was truly a master, and my behavior that day was like showing off in front of Guan Gong!
"Haha, look at your wits... Alright, there's nothing to worry about. I should go back now..."
The old man didn't blame me at all, and with a laugh, he prepared to leave.
"By the way!"
Just as he took a few steps, the old man suddenly stopped and, pointing at Zhang Ge on the ground, said, "He needs to recuperate, there's no need to send him to the hospital to fuss around!"
Before I could respond, the old man had already disappeared in front of my eyes.
"Senior!"
I instinctively shouted at the direction he disappeared. This was a life-saving grace, and I should at least express my gratitude. How could he just leave like that?
The old man didn't answer, but suddenly his voice rang in my mind: "Be careful of the people around you!"
"Hmm?"
As soon as I heard this, my face changed instantly. Be careful of the people around me?
Was it Lao Zhang? Or Xia Xiaoyi?
"Xiao Wang!"
Before I could react, Captain Han was already running towards me, holding his arm, with a concerned look on his face. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
I shook my head and then said with a serious expression, "This place is not safe to stay for long. Let's go back first!
"Mm!"
Captain Han quickly nodded. Judging by his appearance, he clearly didn't want to stay in this place for any longer.
Because the other policemen had already disappeared, Captain Han and I had to use a lot of effort to carry the unconscious Zhang and Deputy Captain Li to the police car. It's worth mentioning that when we were moving Deputy Captain Li, both Captain Han and I kicked him angrily.
As for Xia Xiaoyi, she was alone examining the body in another police car at this moment.
