Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

The sun sets, and its afterglow falls on the earth.

From a distance, it seemed as if everything in the world was covered with a layer of yellow gauze.

In the past, the village was relatively quiet at this time because most people would eat at this time.

Even children who usually love to play will be taken home by their ears by their elders at this time.

But today, the originally peaceful village was disturbed by a galloping carriage.

The coachman anxiously waved the whip in his hand, and the whip hit the horse's butt, causing the horse to run wildly in pain.

In the small place of Pingtian Village, the only one who could have a horse-drawn carriage was the mansion of Mr. He.

The curious villagers poked their heads out of the door, stretched their necks to look around, guessing what was going on in the He mansion, and planning to gossip with others after dinner.

"Uu——"

The coachman pulled the reins and stopped the carriage, but the carriage had already arrived at the gate of He's house.

Hearing the noise outside, the old servant in the He Mansion opened the door to check.

Seeing that it was his own carriage, the old servant waved his hand at the coachman and said, "Old coachman, why are you making such a big noise today? Aren't you afraid that you will disturb the master and get punished later?"

The coachman smiled bitterly and shook his head. Before he said anything, he pointed to the rear carriage.

I saw Li Zhi already helping Master Liu get off the carriage.

Looking at the pale and sickly Master Liu and Li Zhi covered in blood.

The old servant yelled "Oh my God!" and ran in quickly.

Immortal Master Liu ignored him and said to Li Zhi, "Go back to the courtyard first."

Li Zhi naturally followed the instructions of Master Liu, and helped Master Liu into the He Mansion and came to the courtyard.

There were guards guarding outside the courtyard as usual, but there were only two of them this time.

The other two should have gone to eat, Li Zhi guessed.

The two guards were very vigilant. As soon as Li Zhi and his team approached, they noticed it and looked towards them together.

But after seeing Li Zhi and the others looking rather embarrassed, the sharpness in his eyes instantly turned into shock.

"Master! What's wrong with you?"

The two guards quickly stepped forward to support Master Liu.

Immortal Master Liu waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I will go to Master He later to explain the whole matter."

Seeing this, the two guards didn't ask any more questions.

Only one person was left to guard, while the other followed Li Zhi to help Master Liu into the courtyard.

After helping Master Liu to his room, Li Zhi and the other guards left.

However, when Li Zhi and the others turned around and left.

Immortal Master Liu behind them stared at their backs, his expression changing constantly.

 …

"call--"

After coming out of Master Liu's room, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the closed door, and a strange look flashed across his eyes, but he returned to normal in an instant.

With his head lowered, Li Zhi quickly left the door of Master Liu's room and walked towards the alchemy room.

Li Zhi pushed open the door of the alchemy room and walked in. Seeing Li Zhi covered in blood, those people were shocked.

They all asked Li Zhi what happened.

As for why they care so much about Li Zhi, it is only because Li Zhi has already determined the candidates for the alchemy materials for this alchemy. Those who don't need to be selected will naturally protect Li Zhi. Otherwise, once Li Zhi steps down and is replaced by someone else, the materials will have to be selected again. If someone accidentally chooses themselves as the alchemy material, it would be a loss.

Li Zhi didn't say much, just said it was okay. Seeing that they were all eating, he asked them to bring him a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Zhi is like an emperor here now. As soon as he opens his mouth, someone immediately brings him bowls and chopsticks.

Li Zhi took a look at the dishes and found that they were indeed much better than before. Usually there were only some vegetables, but this time there were even a few meat dishes.

But he was preoccupied at the moment, and although he ate the food bite by bite, it felt like chewing wax.

After quickly finishing his meal, Li Zhi came to the place where the medicinal materials were placed, applied some hemostatic herbs on the wound, and asked someone to bandage it for him.

He also selected a few herbs that have the effect of warding off evil, crushed them into residue, and then applied them to his eyes.

After finishing, Li Zhi could lie down on the recliner and rest while recalling the scenes he had seen today.

This is a habit Li Zhi developed after coming to this world.

Because this world and the people here are too unfamiliar and too strange to Li Zhi.

He desperately wanted to get away from here.

But he knew that he knew too little about the world, and there was also too little he could do with his current abilities.

Ever since coming here, Li Zhi felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

That seemingly good man was actually an old man who could push him to death without batting an eyelid...

That great man who is high above everyone else but treats human life as worthless...

That powerful and ruthless guard...

And those poor people who killed each other...

All these things made Li Zhi feel like there was a knife hanging over his head and he might lose his life at any time.

This made Li Zhi dare not relax. The reason why he shamelessly let Master Liu take him out today was not only to confirm whether the monster story was true, but also to see if there was a chance to escape. He also wanted to see the real strength of Master Liu who was praised by the guard.

Unfortunately, there was no chance of escape along the way. Li Zhi actually wanted to turn over and escape while vomiting out of the window. However, although Master Liu had his eyes closed all the way, Li Zhi had a feeling of being stared at, so he did not dare to move.

Later, he encountered ghosts and monsters, which confirmed the existence of monsters in this world and allowed Li Zhi to see the strength of Master Liu.

The demeanor that seems to be able to slay demons and monsters with a wave of his hand, and the posture of standing in the air, all speak of the extraordinaryness of this Taoist priest who has a gloomy face all day long.

This made Li Zhi secretly glad that he did not escape rashly, otherwise he would have alerted the enemy.

However, when he came back, Master Liu seemed to have been revealing intentionally or unintentionally that he was seriously injured. He even deliberately spit out the sword pill in front of him and even revealed the method of using the sword pill. This made Li Zhi feel that something was wrong.

Now recalling the scene at that time, Li Zhi tried his best to recall Master Liu's expression and movements, including his tone of voice.

Suddenly, Li Zhi vaguely realized where those abnormalities came from.

Master Liu's injury might not be as serious as he said. The reason why he deliberately showed a weak side in front of Li Zhi was probably because he had already noticed Li Zhi's secret plan to escape, and even used the sword pill as a lure. If Li Zhi was really greedy at that time and dared to rob or escape directly, Master Liu would definitely capture him or kill him directly.

However, Li Zhi at that time vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he did not do anything extreme, which made Master Liu's plan fail.

However, Li Zhi couldn’t understand why Master Liu would go to such great lengths to deal with an ordinary person like him.

If he wanted to kill me, with Master Liu's strength, I'm afraid just one finger would be enough to deal with me. Given Master Liu's status, he wouldn't waste his energy on an ordinary person like me.

After thinking for a long time, Li Zhi still couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only keep this question in his mind.

At this time in Master Liu's room, Master Liu, who had originally closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, and his pale face seemed to become a little rosier.

A gloomy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said as if talking to himself: "Interesting, really interesting... He is smart, knows how to take advantage of the situation, knows how to advance and retreat, and doesn't rush..."

"Haha...God is really kind to me!"

The sinister voice seemed to come from the Netherworld.
