2998 An old man calling at the door (1)

The twelve figures that followed stopped in front of the iron gate and did not continue forward.

They seemed to be able to confirm that there was someone in this room.

All the cultivators, including Tang Zhen, kept quiet and did not reveal their existence.

The previous experience had made the cultivators more vigilant. If it was not necessary, they would never open the door.

“Your Excellency, you’re hiding in the house, right?”

The old man asked in a low voice. At the same time, he stared at the iron door, as if he wanted to see through everything hidden behind it.

The 11 disciples behind him were also staring at the iron gate, but their expressions were blocked by the darkness.

Tang Zhen was silent as though he had not heard anything.

In the deathly silent environment, only the old man’s voice was slowly ringing in everyone’s ears.

“The s.h.i.+p is eerie and eerie. It can be said that every step is filled with killing intent, causing us to be mentally and physically exhausted.

This was just the beginning. If this continued, who knew what kind of danger would happen?

Thus, I hope that you can help us overcome this crisis. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will definitely repay your great kindness.”

The old man’s words were so sincere that he almost knelt down and begged.

When the cultivators in the room heard this, they couldn’t help but be moved.

Previously, everyone had gone through the difficulties together, but now, in order to protect themselves, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.

Although it was cruel, there was nothing he could do.

As for Tang Zhen, who was at the door, he didn’t have any reaction from the beginning until the end. It was as if he didn’t hear the old man’s plea.

“Your Excellency, could it be that you can bear to see us master and disciple all die on this giant s.h.i.+p?”

The old man asked loudly again, his tone full of pleading. This time, he really wanted to kneel.

“Master!”

Seeing the old man’s behavior, the group of disciples quickly rushed forward and tried to stop him.

a man can kneel to the heavens and the earth, but he can’t look down on himself like this. Even if we lose our lives, we can’t let you suffer humiliation!

A group of disciples surrounded them, their faces filled with sorrow, causing all the spectators to be moved.

One of the disciples turned around and stared at the iron gate with hatred. He said in a sad and angry tone, ” “If it wasn’t for us, master wouldn’t have been able to endure such humiliation and beg you in every way possible.

Since you’re not willing, then we won’t force you. We’ll leave with master so that you won’t be an eyesore!”

The old man’s other disciples stepped forward indignantly and tried to help their master leave.

“A bunch of traitorous disciples, how impudent! Who allowed you to speak in such a tone?”

The old man kept struggling and reprimanded his disciple loudly. His face was full of anger.

In the process of struggling, the old man’s expression suddenly changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, his face turned pale and he sat on the ground limply, as if all his strength had been sucked out.

When the disciples saw this, they were so scared that they quickly helped him up and asked their master what was going on.

it’s alright. I’m just slightly injured. There’s no need to make a fuss.

Laozi looked at his disciple and said in a light tone, as if he had already put his life and death aside.

“Master, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were injured?”

The disciple who had questioned Tang Zhen immediately picked up a backpack and opened it in front of everyone.

The size of the backpack was not small, and it was actually filled with food, probably more than a hundred pounds.

“Master, since you’re injured, you should quickly eat some food so that you can recover as soon as possible.”

As the disciple spoke, he picked up a piece of food and handed it to the old man with both hands.

“Master, quickly eat it and heal your injuries.

You’re our backbone. If anything happens, what should we do?”

The other disciples nodded one after another, their faces full of concern, without the slightest bit of pretense.

“Food is precious, save as much as you can, don’t waste it.”

The old man waved his hand and refused the food that was brought to him.

“No matter how important food is, it can’t be compared to master’s health. As long as you can recover, it doesn’t matter if we consume all the food!

Besides, the food we have on hand is already enough for consumption. Even if we have six or seven more people, we should have more than enough.”

When the other disciples heard this, they all nodded in agreement and advised their master to quickly finish the food.

Seeing that his disciples were so filial, the old man showed a relieved expression and took the food from his disciples.

The cultivators in the room saw this scene of a loving father and a filial son.

They weren’t touched, but they placed most of their attention on the pile of food.

In the world of purple light, the importance of food was unquestionable. It was the last guarantee for the cultivators to last until the end.

The cultivators had originally decided that no matter how dangerous the old man’s situation was, they would definitely not help.

The main problem was that food was limited. If he helped the other party, what would he do?

This kind of terrifying hunger was not something that could be endured. It was really life-threatening.

However, when the old man and the others had a large amount of food in their hands, the situation would be completely different.

The food in the other party’s hands was not only enough for him to eat, but also some leftovers.

Judging from the old man’s appearance, the food should be very safe. Otherwise, they would not dare to eat it with such ease.

It just so happened that the food in his hands was obviously insufficient, so could he ” borrow ” some from the other party?

When the cultivators thought up to this point, they were already somewhat moved. They all looked at Tang Zhen with antic.i.p.ation.

Tang Zhen was the leader of the team. They had to listen to his arrangements and absolutely couldn’t act on their own.

To the disappointment of the cultivators, Tang Zhen didn’t say a word and only looked outside silently.

Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he didn’t want to take in the old man.

“Sir, we should have enough s.p.a.ce here, why not help?”

Although his main purpose was to get the food in the other party’s hands, there was no need to say it.

Tang Zhen turned his head when he heard this and swept his eyes over the few cultivators.

“Do you all think that we should put each other in the house and then share their food?”

“That’s right, Sir. Is this not appropriate?”

The reason for the outbreak of conflict was the lack of food. As long as this problem was solved, it was equivalent to eliminating the possibility of conflict.

Therefore, the cultivators believed that it wouldn’t be a problem to help the old man and the others.

do you still remember that the old man also obtained a strange key on the flat-bottomed boat? ”

The five cultivators nodded, indicating that this was true.

“They must’ve gone to many places to collect so much food. Didn’t they come across a similar safe house?

According to my speculations, there should be quite a number of similar houses on this s.h.i.+p.

It could even be said that there was a key inside every single flat-bottomed wooden boat.

When they boarded the giant s.h.i.+p, they could get the key by destroying the flat-bottomed wooden boat.

When the old man saw the locked door, it was impossible for him not to think of the use of the key, and it was also impossible for him not to try to open it.

So under normal circ.u.mstances, the other party would definitely not bring a pile of food and ask for help. Instead, they would choose to hide in the house.

as for the second suspicion, how did the other party find our location accurately? it seems that those monsters can also do it.

If the old man’s judgment was based on the lock on the door, it would prove that the other party knew how to use the key.

There was another suspicious point. They had gotten so much food, but there was no damage at all.

Combined with our previous experience, do you think this is possible?”
