Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

"Young man, can you give me your Yin Dan?"

The young Taoist priest spoke gently. Although he was asking, his tone revealed a tone that could not be refused.

Li Zhi frowned slightly and took a look at the wooden box in his hand. He knew that this was what the young Taoist priest was talking about, but if he didn't say that this was what Immortal Master Liu wanted, even with the condescending tone of the man in front of him, he was unwilling to give the thing to him.

But the other party was the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu after all. Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Li Zhi was very clear about his noble status even if he didn't understand. He didn't want to offend him, so Li Zhi said, "I'm sorry, this thing is not mine, and I have no right to dispose of it."

Hearing this, the young Taoist priest laughed and said, "Are you afraid that I will take your things for nothing? Tell me what it will take for you to give me this Yin Dan. As long as you can say it, I can do it!"

The little Taoist priest was very arrogant, but from the tone and momentum of his words, Li Zhi knew that he was not lying. However, this Yin Dan was indeed not Li Zhi's personal property, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "This thing is really not mine..."

"Humph! Everything in the world has a price. Even if this thing is not yours, it is in your hands now. I can offer a price, and you can sell it!"

The young Taoist priest spoke in a sharp tone, causing Li Zhi's face to change. He knew that the young Taoist priest was going to force a sale!

Zhang Dongze hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over. He bowed to the young Taoist priest and said, "Tianshi, this item was entrusted to us by Immortal Master Liu from Xiaoyao Mountain. It is definitely not our personal property."

Zhang Dongze originally thought that mentioning the name of Xiaoyao Mountain would make the young Taoist priest hesitate.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the name of Xiaoyao Mountain, the young Taoist priest sneered and said, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be Xiaoyao Mountain! Humph, I don't even want anything from Xiaoyao Mountain!"

Although Zhang Dongze and Li Zhi were shocked to hear that the young Taoist priest seemed to have great hostility towards Xiaoyao Mountain, they were slightly relieved after hearing the young Taoist priest's next words. No matter what, as long as they could make the young Taoist priest give up the idea of Yin Dan, it would be good.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the little Taoist priest say, "I don't want the things, but we have to fight the people from Xiaoyao Mountain!"

Before Li Zhi could react, he saw the little Taoist priest open his palm. There was a talisman engraved in the palm of his hand. The talisman was flashing with light blue lightning. The little Taoist priest pressed his palm on Li Zhi's chest.

There was a flash of lightning, and Li Zhi was instantly knocked away.

On the other side, Zhang Dongze realized something was wrong as soon as the young Taoist priest finished speaking, so he retreated immediately and hid behind Li Zhi, trying to let Li Zhi stop the young Taoist priest and delay him to give him time to escape.

But he didn't expect that the young master could kill Li Zhi instantly with just one move. Zhang Dongze had no time to escape, but he was not a person who would sit and wait to die. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the steel knife from his waist.

The young Taoist priest frowned when he saw this and said in a low voice, "How dare you!"

Lightning flashed suddenly in the palm of his hand, and light blue lightning gushed out instantly. He ignored the distance and hit Zhang Dongze directly with his palm.

"bump!"

Zhang Dongze was beaten so hard that he flew out.

The blow that the little Taoist priest gave to Zhang Dongze was much heavier than the one he had just given to Li Zhi. It was obvious that this was a punishment for Zhang Dongze for daring to show his military power against him.

"You two are not allowed to enter Gaoling City, otherwise I will beat you up every time I see you!"

After the young Taoist priest gave his words, he took a carriage into the city.

 …

Li Zhi fell on the horse's back and rubbed his chest. The thunder palm strike from the young Taoist priest was really powerful. Although quite some time had passed, he could still feel waves of numbness and pain in his chest.

He looked at Zhang Dongze, who was being carried by a horse like a dead dog, and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he would not be able to get back for a while. He could not enter Gaoling City now, so he could only find another place to rest for the night.

After wandering around, we arrived at a dilapidated mountain temple.

Zhang Dongze had also woken up at this time, but the little Taoist had used quite heavy force on him, so Zhang Dongze could only move with difficulty.

"Let's rest here for a night. I can't hold on any longer." Zhang Dongze said weakly.

He was carried on the horse's back, and the bumpy ride made it even more difficult for him to hold on despite his already serious injuries.

Li Zhi didn't want to rest here, because based on his years of experience, it was inevitable that something strange would happen in such places at night.

However, although his injuries were lighter than Zhang Dongze's, they were not minor injuries. It was already dark and he was too weak to look for other places. After all, there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain here, so he followed Zhang Dongze's advice and rested in this mountain temple for a night.

After tying the two horses outside the temple, Li Zhi helped Zhang Dongze into the mountain temple.

After entering the mountain temple, Li Zhi found that it was not as scary as he had imagined. Li Zhi looked around the temple in the moonlight and found that apart from being a little dilapidated and messy, there was nothing unusual about it. This made Li Zhi feel relieved.

"Let's take turns to keep watch." Zhang Dongze said palely, leaning against the wall.

He was seriously injured, but he still agreed to take turns with Li Zhi to keep watch, because he knew that in such a remote place, if there was no one keeping watch, no one would be able to react in time if something happened, which was a taboo in the underworld.

Li Zhi didn't act pretentiously, he nodded and said: "Then you guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half!"

Zhang Dongze knew that Li Zhi was taking care of him. After all, the second half of the night was more difficult to guard than the first half. He pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty but said nothing.

Li Zhi ignored Zhang Dongze and lay down on his own. Then he thought of Longhu Mountain and the little Taoist priest he met today, and asked, "Brother Zhang, why do you seem to be a little afraid of the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain?"

Zhang Dongze frowned, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with the word "fear" that Li Zhi said, but he still said: "Don't you know that Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain is the current state master?"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "How can a country boy like me know these things..."

This surprised Zhang Dongze a little, but he didn't say anything. After all, some rural areas didn't even know the name of the current emperor.

"Do you know that little Taoist priest?" Li Zhi asked again.

Zhang Dongze shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know him, but the only one in Longhu Mountain who can be honored as Little Heavenly Master is Zhang Tianshi's eldest son."

Zhang Dongze's words made Li Zhi gasp. No wonder the little Taoist priest was so arrogant just now. It turned out that not only was he from Longhu Mountain, one of the three major immortal sects, but he was also a direct descendant of Longhu Mountain. His father was the current national teacher. With this background, he could really do whatever he wanted.

Li Zhi asked curiously again: "Then why is he so hostile to Xiaoyao Mountain?"

"How the hell should I know that!" Zhang Dongze said angrily. If he knew that Longhu Mountain and Xiaoyao Mountain had a grudge, he would never have used Xiaoyao Mountain's tiger skin as his signboard. Now, he not only failed to use the tiger skin but also got beaten. This made Zhang Dongze extremely depressed.

Li Zhi nodded in understanding, thinking that he would ask Master Liu if there was any dirty tricks between the two sects.

"Then I'll go to sleep first and I'll take your turn later." Li Zhi greeted Zhang Dongze.

Zhang Dongze said impatiently: "Go to sleep!"

Li Zhi yawned. He hadn't slept the whole night before. He had encountered a lot of things today. He was very nervous and was hit by a thunder palm. He was already physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, the little Taoist held back when he hit him. Now he no longer felt the numbness and pain in his chest as before.

Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, but even though he was asleep, his hand was still on the hilt of the black sword.

Even with Zhang Dongze keeping watch, Li Zhi was not completely reassured, not to mention that he did not trust Zhang Dongze in the first place.

After all, Li Zhi would never forget what happened in Qinghe Village, but he knew that he could not do anything to Zhang Dongze for the time being, so he did not tear his face with Zhang Dongze for the time being, but he never reduced his guard against Zhang Dongze.

 …

"Hey! Brother Li, get up, it's time to change." Zhang Dongze called and Li Zhi woke up.

After Li Zhi opened his eyes, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Dongze that he was awake and could go to sleep.

Zhang Dongze was just holding on. Seeing Li Zhi wake up, he didn't say anything and just lay down and fell asleep. Not long after, he started snoring.

Li Zhi did not continue lying down. He was afraid that he would fall asleep again while lying down, which would be troublesome.

So Li Zhi came to the outside of the mountain temple.

The two horses outside the temple were not sleeping. Instead, they seemed to be stamping their hooves in a somewhat uneasy manner.

Li Zhi's eyes narrowed, but his expression did not reveal anything.

After taking a quick look around, he felt that it was a bit chilly at night, but there seemed to be nothing else unusual, so he turned around and wanted to go back to the mountain temple.

Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind.

"My lord, stay!"

Li Zhi turned around and saw a woman.

Looking at the woman, Li Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank!

Three tails were wagging behind the woman!
