That Taoist priest is a fool, he doesn't even know how to tie his legs.
"You finally woke up!"
The old man's voice rang out, "I've been shouting at you until my voice is hoarse. You've finally regained consciousness. Hurry up and shout for help. He's behind you."
Leng Can swallowed his saliva to relieve the dryness in his mouth, and swung his body backwards, "Brother, wake up, don't sleep anymore, Brother..."
He shuddered, then woke up and shouted in a state of stress, "Junior brother, junior brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Leng Can replied immediately, "I just felt a little weak after waking up. How about you?"
He shook his head vigorously, "I'm fine, where is this?"
"This is a Taoist temple, and the one who kidnapped you is the Taoist priest." The old man said helplessly, "The cat demon is working with the Taoist priest. They want to seize Leng Can's inner elixir."
"?"
"You want my inner elixir?"
"Yes." The old man was speechless. "That Taoist priest has truly gone mad. He wants to borrow your inner elixir to become an immortal and ascend to heaven."
"Grandma Cat is a demon, but she actually cooperated with the Taoist priest and deceived you and me." Xi said angrily. It was a pity that he felt sorry for her and believed her words at that time.
"The most urgent thing is to leave here quickly. I have already informed the outside world of Cong Mo's basic location. She should be here soon." When they were unconscious, the old man Qing Yi thought about it and decided to take the initiative. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He couldn't leave here for too long. He needed to keep an eye on the true bodies of Cong Mo and the other two to prevent any accidents from happening. So he used a simple spell to enter the illusion, which would not consume his mental strength, but it only took one hour. Following his memory, he went to the military camp to find Cong Mo.
"Who are you?"
An old man entered her fantasy world. He was the eldest son of a pharmacy owner. He came with two large boxes of medicine. "Master Cong Yao, I'm from the pharmacy in front. My master specially sent you some supplements. I'd like to ask for your help."
"Take it back." Cong Mo only took a look and said, "I don't need it."
"What if there's a drug in here that causes snakes to go into estrus?"
Cong Mo paused and turned around slowly, "Let him in."
The two were strangers meeting for the first time, so Cong Mo naturally didn't believe what he said. The old man watched his fingers gradually become transparent, and he became anxious. "If you don't believe me, send someone back to the mansion to check if they are there. They are now on the hillside behind the Taoist temple outside the city. If you are late, they will probably be dug up and skinned, and you will never see them again! You know that Taoist priest. He is not a good person. Even if you don't know me, you should at least understand them, unless you don't care about them at all!"
Cong Mo gritted his teeth and sent someone back to the mansion to inquire, "If you are deceiving me, I will not let you off easily."
The officers and soldiers sensed her anxiety and, not wanting to delay, immediately rode forward. In a mere cup of tea, they returned to the camp and reported to her, "Mrs. Li in the mansion is in a state of panic. She said an old man came and spoke to them, and... the young masters are indeed not here."
Cong Mo picked up the sword, and Zheng Ran stood up, "Let's go to the Taoist temple!"
The old man's body, hidden beneath his clothes, had become transparent. He staggered, then stood up and tried to leave. "I won't go with you."
Cong Mo suddenly called out to him, "Who are you? I feel somewhat familiar with you."
The old man waved his hand and said, "As an unknown person, you should do good deeds."
As a result, before he even reached the entrance of the military camp, his body felt light, and then he disappeared from there and returned to the real world.
"You should circle with them for a while. It will take at least half an hour to get here from the military camp, even if you ride a horse. Besides, you are now at the top of the mountain behind the Taoist temple, so you still need to climb a distance."
They stayed in the mansion all day and had a very leisurely time. They hadn't used their brains to think for a long time. They were a little dazed for a while and could only hope that Cong Mo would come soon.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.
The old man introduced, "This is the Taoist priest, extremely proud and conceited."
"Who are you?" Leng Can raised his eyes, pretending to be confused.
Yu immediately reacted, cooperating with his acting, and began to struggle vigorously, "Who are you, old man? Why did you kidnap us? Do you know that this is against the law?"
"Old man? You little demon must have gone crazy!" The Taoist priest stroked his beard and circled around the two of them. "Haha... You don't even know who I am. No wonder you're just two demons with low cultivation. If it weren't for your appearance, I really wouldn't look down on you."
Leng Can yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no monster here."
He said anxiously, "That's right, don't spread rumors, what kind of ability is that!"
"Oh, you're still so stubborn even when you're about to die! Stop pretending. You're just a duck and a snake. I know you two very well." The Taoist priest laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "I'm the Taoist priest of a world-renowned Taoist temple. Who in this world doesn't know me? Who doesn't admire me? Who doesn't know that I will become an immortal and ascend to heaven in the future?"
Leng Can controlled himself from rolling his eyes and shouted, "Murder is against the law. What on earth do you want to do by tying us up?"
"Good question. What do I want to do..." The Taoist priest took a few steps forward and raised his chin. "I must dig out your demon core and peel off your skin. I'll make you die in unrest."
The old man said hurriedly, "This person is crazy about ascending to heaven, don't stimulate him too much."
He immediately struggled, "Master, are you the legendary Taoist priest?"
"Oh?" The Taoist's gaze was drawn to him. "Do you know me?"
"Of course I know you." Xi showed a look of surprise, as if he was about to pounce on him. "You are the famous Taoist priest in the legend. The world is talking about Cong and Cong and his greatness. I don't think so. I have been following you for a long time and know about your many deeds and great achievements, as well as the theories of sorcery you are proficient in."
"That's really interesting, you dead duck." Although he could see the compliment, the Taoist priest was still in a very good mood. "I was originally planning to kill you and stew your meat, but since you're so considerate, I can only dig out your demon core and let you return to duck form. As for whether I eat your meat or not, that depends on my mood."
"Master, you are so powerful. Our survival depends on your words." He said flatteringly, "Master, you are so kind and generous. Before we die, could you please treat us to a delicious meal?"
The Taoist priest said disdainfully, "Aren't you stalling for time..."
"How could it be..." Li hit Leng Can hard, "Brother, say something and apologize to the Taoist priest. You were indeed not very polite just now."
Leng Can took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them, a smile appeared on his lips. "I'm sorry, Taoist priest. I was just a little demon who didn't recognize the real man. I hope you can forgive me. The life of a demon is short, and we are almost dead. As my cousin said, this is our last meal. Taoist priest, you won't be so stingy, right? Besides, we are just two demons. Who would care about the lives of demons so much and come to blame a fair person like you? Don't you think..."
"To peel the pill and remove its skin, you need to do it in a place with abundant sunlight, where yin and yang intersect, to stimulate the demon pill's maximum effect." The Taoist priest was still considering, "Eat well to prevent yourself from fainting while peeling the pill. Well, I'll grant you this small wish. Consider it a good deed for me."
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
"But this last meal, huh..." He leaned down, his expression evil, completely different from his soft-hearted look just now, and pulled the two people's hair, "There are only cold steamed buns left in the kitchen. Do you still want to eat?"
Leng Can knew that he couldn't have such kindness. His scalp was pulled so hard that it hurt, but he still kept smiling, "Eat, let's eat."
"You're only fit to eat that kind of stuff." The Taoist priest threw them away and kicked them to the ground. "Haha...shameless monsters! You should live in the dark all your life!"
Leng Can lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.
Seeing their aggrieved expressions, the Taoist priest was in a very good mood and stepped forward to the mountain. "I am in a good mood today, so I can bring you some pickles. Don't ask for more."
"Are you all right?" The old man looked at them with such heartache that he wanted to rush in and skin the Taoist priest alive. However, the magic he had just used would take an hour to be used again. He could only watch his two disciples suffer from outside. "Can you still sit up?"
"Master thinks we are weak." Leng Can supported himself on the grass and sat up, then raised his hands and shook his arms. "My arms hurt from being tied up."
The old man looked at him and raised his arm, and asked in surprise, "How did you untie it?"
"Of course, it's because we're being cautious!" He stood up, dusted himself off, and pointed a small knife towards the sky. "Just in case, we've been carrying knives with us these days."
Leng Can sneered, "That Taoist priest is a fool himself, and he thinks everyone is the same as him. He doesn't even do a body search, and he doesn't even tie up your legs and feet."
"I thought he was a strong opponent. I will return the kick he gave us sooner or later." He closed the knife and put it into his sleeve. "Junior brother, let's go quickly."
The two men, holding up their clothes, followed the direction the Taoist priest had just left, and followed the instructions of the old man, walking down the mountain path.
"Yes, they took you in this direction." The old man looked at the map he had just drawn. "Yes, it's here. They didn't dare to take the main road when they came here. Wait!"
He suddenly cried out, and both of them trembled in fear.
"Look down the mountain." The old man's voice was tinged with joy. "Cong Mo is already here. As expected of my disciple, he should be this fast."
Leng Can and Xi climbed up the hillside and looked down, only to see Cong Mo, wearing armor, running hurriedly toward the back of the mountain.
Leng Can's eyes were hot, and he stood up and called out to her, "Cong Mo! I'm here."
Cong Mo paused, his eyes widened slightly for a moment, and then he looked towards the mountain.
The two of them met eyes, both of them happy to see each other.
"Leng Can!" Cong Mo didn't care about etiquette, and with tears in his eyes, he opened his arms to him and said, "Come down."
