"Is it okay to swear an oath in front of Hou Tu so carelessly?"

Tian Lin was somewhat confused when he saw that the official neither prepared an incense table nor took the contract paper.

"If it were a peaceful time, we could cut off a chicken's head and burn yellow paper. But now is a disaster year, where can we find a chicken's head and yellow paper?"

The fourth boss patted Tian Lin on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Lao Liu. Whether there is a yellow paper with a chicken head or not, it will not affect the validity of our oath! The punishment from heaven will only punish the living beings in this world, but it will not affect the old man Hou Tu.

As long as we swear in the name of the old man Hou Tu, we will never dare to break our promise."

As he was talking, the official said to the tattered urn, "Old Five, we have newly recruited Old Six and Old Seven. They will be our brothers from now on. Please bless us all from your spirit in heaven."

After saying this, he knelt down and said, "Our boss——"

"Zhou Lao Er——"

"Xun Lao San——"

They all knelt on the ground, and only the surnames were read without their names.

Seeing this, Tian Lin waited until the Fourth Master finished reading, then he knelt on the ground like them and said, "Tian Laoliu."

"Jiang Laoqi, I wish to become your brother with different surnames, to share the hardships and happiness together; if anyone betrays you in the future, the heavens and the earth will punish him together!"

The oath was simple and sincere.

But no one said anything like "I just hope to die on the same day of the same month of the same year";

After all, this oath must be fulfilled. If such an oath is really made, I am afraid that none of the brothers will survive.

"Okay, do you see that red star in the sky?"

After several people kowtowed, the official stood up and pointed to a star in the sky and said, "That red star is the palace of Hou Tu. It has been a witness for us."

It was the first time for Tian Lin and Master Tingyu to see such stars.

The two looked at Hou Tu's Star Palace and were speechless for a moment.

"Tell me, since we are not from this world, if we swear an oath here and break it, will Hou Tu really cause trouble for us?"

It was late at night and when it was Tian Lin and Master Tingyu's turn to be on duty, Master Tingyu couldn't help but ask Tian Lin a question.

"Whether the oath is useful or not, you will know it once you try it. Why bother asking me?"

"Forget it, it's better to believe it than not to believe it."

In fact, this oath will bring more benefits than disadvantages to Tian Lin and Master Tingyu.

They have no cultivation now, so if they want to survive in this world, they must find someone to form a group with.

Although the Langguans were not very skilled, they were cultivators after all. They were willing to recruit the two men into their group, which showed that they really respected them.

Moreover, after swearing the oath, Master Tingyu no longer had to worry about Tian Lin killing him. There was also less unnecessary suspicion between the two.

——

“There’s someone ahead!”

It has been two days since the six people took the oath. During these two days, the six people climbed over two more hills.

It was noon at this time. The fourth leader, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and pointed at the dense forest on the opposite hillside.

"Those who can appear in this dense forest are either very powerful or nearby villagers."

The official waved his hand, and everyone hid behind the rocks, looking towards the dense forest on the opposite hill.

The dense forest over there was so dense and leafy that it greatly obstructed everyone's sight. Especially Master Tingyu, whose eyes were blurry due to his old age, could only see the shadows of the trees, but not the figure mentioned by the Fourth Master. He could not help but say:

"Fourth brother, there are a few people there, can you see them clearly?"

The fourth master is only in his thirties, and it is hard for Master Tingyu to call him Fourth Brother even though he is so old.

But the Fourth Master didn't care that Master Tingyu called him Fourth Brother.

In the eyes of the Fourth Master, Master Tingyu was a burden. At the beginning, he only wanted to recruit Tian Lin to join the gang, and never thought of recruiting the old man as a brother.

If it weren't for Langguan's suggestion, he would never have thought of becoming sworn brothers with the old man.

"My Thousand Mile Leaf Viewing Technique cannot see through walls, but judging from the footprints on the hillside in the dense forest, there are probably at least twenty people."

The official asked him, "Apart from footprints, are there any wheel tracks?"

The fourth master shook his head, and the official said, "Well, put away your Thousand Miles Viewing Leaf Technique, and don't waste your spiritual energy."

Although a few of them had some cultivation, they also hid some medicinal powder that could restore their spiritual energy.

But now there is no spiritual energy in the world, so it can be said that the more you use, the less you have. If you want to get more powder, you must find the spiritual energy powder of the walking corpse burning paper - but that is too dangerous.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, they didn't want to use spiritual energy to cast spells.

"There are more than 20 people. It's impossible that all of them are monks, right?"

The third boss said, "We don't have enough food to last for a few days. We have to find a way."

The second in command said, "There are more than 20 people, and maybe not all of them are monks. But I think there must be two or three monks among them - if there is a fight, our chances of winning are not great!"

"I think there's something strange about that mountain."

At this time, Master Tingyu spoke.

Everyone looked at him, and he said, "That mountain has too much vegetation, it's different from other mountains."

The fourth boss on the side sneered and said, "Seventh Brother, don't exaggerate. What does the lush vegetation on that mountain mean?"

"Although there were lush vegetation on the hills we passed, most of them were stripped of their bark.

Although my eyesight is blurry due to my old age, I can still see clearly that the grass and trees over there are all frighteningly green. In short, something is wrong. "

He talked for a long time and his words seemed to make sense, but in fact it seemed as if he said nothing.

Everyone looked at the official, waiting for him to make a decision.

"In fact, if we can unite with the Hwahwarang team, it will be the best thing for us. But I am afraid that we are alone and they will think we are easy to bully."

The official said, "Aren't they resting on the hillside over there? Let's take a break too."

He said he wanted to take a break, but actually he just wanted Tian Lin, Master Tingyu and others to wait there.

He himself hid his tracks with the Fourth In Command and went down the mountain to gather intelligence.

Half an hour later, the two returned.

The fourth boss panted slightly and sat on the ground to tell Tian Lin and others about the information:

"A rough estimate is that there were about 24 or 25 people there, or less than 30 people in total; among them, there were seven women, and the rest were all young and strong.

These women and young men were all armed and quite alert, and we were almost discovered by them."

Tian Lin heard this and said, "In this case, it will be difficult for us to win by surprise attack."

The second in command looked at the official who had been silent the whole time and said: "If we rashly come into contact with this Huahualang team, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict. Why don't we take a detour and go to Zhongzhou from another route?"

The official shook his head solemnly and said, "I looked at the other mountains. The vegetation on those mountains is more luxuriant than that on the mountain in front. If the mountain in front is strange, then the other mountains may be even stranger."

After hearing what he said, Master Tingyu asked the official, "Ordinary poisonous plants only grow a few feet high. But I see that those plants are all very tall and big - they look like demonic trees like the man-eating pine."

Demonic tree?

Langguan and others had seen evil trees before, but they had never seen evil trees growing on a mountain.

If the mountain ahead is really full of evil trees, how can we get through?
