Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 73 The Mage’s Deterrent Power is Quite Strong

Taoist Master Yansong looked across at the opposite side. Each of these guards was strong and powerful, with bright eyes. There was also a man riding on a horse, with slightly bulging temples and a steady breath. He must be a martial arts master in this world.

"As expected, this is a world filled with spiritual energy. Even practicing martial arts is much easier than over there." Taoist Master Yansong sighed inwardly, then bowed to the young man and said, "Thank you for the reminder, young master. We will be careful. Please ask your servants to make way."

The young man raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Let your young lady answer."

Just now, Gu Zhao was lying sideways in the carriage. The young man only saw Zhuo Qingyan and the embroiderer, and thought that there were only two people in the carriage. It was a young lady who was traveling with her maid and old servant.

Taoist Master Yansong was taken aback for a moment, then he saw the curtain behind him being pulled open. Gu Zhao stuck his head out and said the same thing, "Thank you for your reminder, sir. We will be careful. Please ask your servants to make way."

The embroiderer chuckled, "Sir, you are so perfunctory."

Zhuo Qingyan couldn't help but curl her eyes and raised her teacup to take a sip.

When the young man saw Gu Zhao appear, he was stunned. He didn't expect that there was another person in the carriage, and it was a man. Thinking of the two beauties, one big and one small in the carriage, he felt a little jealous.

"Greetings, sir. I am Liu Qingfeng from the Liu family in Changping Prefecture. May I know your name and where you are from?" Liu Qingfeng thought for a moment, a proud look on his face, and bowed slightly.

"Gu." Gu Zhao nodded, said a word, and then said again, "I'm in a hurry to get on my way. Could you please make way for me, sir?"

Seeing Gu Zhao's indifferent expression, Liu Qingfeng knew that he had been a little too eager just now, so he put on a smile and said, "Mr. Gu is probably not from Changping Prefecture, and he doesn't know that there are bandits rampant nearby.

I apologize for my words being off-key just now, but since you've brought your family along, you should be more careful about your safety. If you do run into bandits, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"

Liu Qingfeng pointed ahead and spoke sincerely, "The nearest town is still dozens of miles away. There are few people along the way, and there are many bandits. Why don't you follow my team and go to a densely populated area first to be on the safe side."

Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "A group of bandits wanted to attack us, and then we killed them all."

Liu Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this, "Huh?"

"If there are bandits blocking the road, they'll be our playthings for fun." Gu Zhao said dimly, "I like encountering those bandits who have committed crimes and have ferocious faces. Killing them is the only way I feel good."

Liu Qingfeng subconsciously took a step back and almost stepped on empty air. He was supported by the leader of the guards who rushed over.

The leader of the guards looked at Gu Zhao, observed him carefully for a moment, and then hurriedly leaned over to Liu Qingfeng's ear and said, "Their carriages are extraordinary. They are traveling alone and calmly. They must be warriors or mages!"

Liu Qingfeng swallowed his saliva and subconsciously asked, "Mage?"

"It's possible!" The guard leader waved his hand, and the two guards who were blocking the way immediately stepped aside.

Taoist Master Yansong chuckled, whipped his whip in the air, and drove away, chuckling softly, "Don't young people these days like to play that trick of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? It's the same thing in skits. Why don't you try it out?"

Gu Zhao chuckled and returned to the car. "I'm a Taoist priest, not a tyrant. Taoist priests are only good at being mysterious. When have they ever played the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"

Taoist Master Yansong laughed heartily, thinking that treasures choose their masters, and there was indeed a reason why the Five Thunder Order chose Gu Zhao as its host.

...Watching the carriage leave, Liu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with greed. Feeling unwilling, he whispered to the leader of the guards, "Are they bluffing? Where in the world can we get so many mages?"

The leader of the guards frowned obscurely and advised thoughtfully, "Right now, the area south of the Wanling River is not peaceful. Goblins and ghosts are everywhere. Ordinary people have no jobs and are helpless. However, most of the wealthy families value their lives and will not act recklessly.

"I see that man has an extraordinary bearing, and the women in his carriage are beautiful. If he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to encounter us. As a wealthy and noble man, there's no need to do evil with him and cause trouble."

Liu Qingfeng nodded, feeling a little anxious. He couldn't help but glance at the sky, then returned to the car. "Let's hurry up. I think the weather isn't very good. Let's get to Anlin Town as soon as possible today. I need to let off some steam."

……

In the carriage, Gu Zhao leaned back comfortably, feeling a little emotional and puzzled. "I thought I would have to spend more time talking to him, but I didn't expect him to back down after just a little scare. Are mages really that scary?"

The embroiderer said seriously, "The magician is very powerful. Grandpa has heard many stories in Xiuyue County, but he has never seen many magicians!"

Bai Ke flicked his tail. "Fairies and ghosts rarely show themselves in public. Mages are already unattainable to mortals. Even a mere mage could easily kill them. How could they not be afraid?"

Gu Zhao didn't say anything, but he already understood in his heart.

Although he met the Golden Wind Goddess as soon as he arrived, he later defeated several Golden Wind guardians, altar generals, painter monsters, corpse ghosts and ape monsters, butchers in the butcher shop, and even killed a Golden Wind Goddess.

But all this is based on the fact that I am also a great lightning wizard. Not only can I sense the breath and evil spirit, but I am also deeply involved in these events. That's why I feel that there are talented people around me.

Now think about it, after a tour around Xiu Yue County, even in the legitimate Jin Feng Tang, there are not many real ghosts. The only remaining three strange places are the butcher shop, the teahouse and the Zhuo family compound.

Even though there are still goblins, ghosts, and wizards in the county who are concealing their aura and identities, compared to the entire Xiu Yue County population of tens of thousands, they are not that many.

This world is still mostly populated by ordinary people.

It is no wonder that after the people of Cuishan Village knew that he was a great wizard, they treated him with respect and even fear.

Just then, Taoist Master Yansong said outside, "It's raining!"

Without even opening the curtains, Gu Zhao could hear the sound of drizzle hitting the leaves outside, and the sound was getting louder and louder.

He opened the curtains and heard Taoist Master Yansong say, "It's raining and the road is hard to walk on. We need to find a place to take shelter."

Although the road leading to Wuhe County is an official road, it is actually a dirt road, but it is relatively compacted. There is no problem on weekdays, but after the rain, there are many potholes and it is slippery and difficult to walk on. It is fine for cars, but horses are prone to accidents.

Bai Ke jumped onto the embroiderer's shoulder and said, "There should be an abandoned river god temple not far from the official road ahead where we can take shelter from the rain."

"I see it." Taoist Master Yansong focused his power on his eyes and vaguely saw a corner of a building in the woods ahead. He whipped his horse and said, "Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."
