Chapter 72: Old Acquaintances of Bygone Days

  "What does it matter how many times, soon caught all to give it a crushing blow" was teased by a stray dog, no wonder the golden cannon was furious and resentful.

  I lowered my head and took a glance at the white wolf standing beside me, only to see that its mouth was full of fresh blood, with wood shavings still stuck in the corners of its mouth and nose. A black rope trailed behind it, with the other end tied to the knot I had secured earlier.

  I grabbed the long rope that Bai Lang was dragging, took a closer look, and this wasn't any ordinary rope, it was clearly some kind of animal tendon. It seemed that when Bai Lang heard my summons, he bit through the tendon in his anxiety, and in his haste, he had gnawed through the small tree trunk as thick as a bowl to escape and rush over.

  "I'll never tie you up again in this lifetime." I untied the restraints and patted the white wolf's forehead, feeling heartbroken.

  "Lao Yu, look! The whole TMD is hiding over there!" Jin Gang pointed northeast.

  I raised my head and took a look, the aura that was hidden just now had all gathered in a corner of the northeast direction.

  "Murong Zhui Feng is also there!" Although a breath of air was all white, Murong Zhui Feng's consciousness was damaged and his vital energy was very weak. So it wasn't hard to recognize him.

  "Let's go quickly, I'm going to take revenge!" Jin Gang's eyes turned red with anger, and he grabbed Wu Xue's hand, his veins bulging.

  I was so angry that I almost lost control, it's really humiliating. I turned around and took out two grenades from my backpack and handed them to Jin Gang Pao "Not a single one will be left!"

  The illusion remains, the village is still a village. Looking at the streetlights standing on both sides of the road, I couldn't help but smile wryly, because upon closer inspection, there were no light bulbs on the streetlights. The details that Jin Gang Pao didn't notice in his usual carefree manner made him feel unnatural and unable to transform. Such an obvious detail was actually overlooked by me.

  "What a mistake! I've lost Jingzhou!"

  "Stop messing around, it's not time to eat. How did that fox make us unable to move?" Jin Gang Pa stepped out in big strides, and in his anxious state, he hopped along like a sparrow.

  "There are some instincts that come with the territory of being a cultivator, but don't rely on them too much or you'll get shot." I said as I walked and loaded bullets into the divine turtle cannon. "Old Cow, how did you recognize him as a fox just now?"

  "Our family moved from the Northeast Forest Farm, where there are many foxes in the Northeast. When my older brother was young, he played at the village head and a fox transformed into our mother's appearance leading him to walk towards the mountain ridge. My father found out and chased it away with our dog. What else can transform into humans but is afraid of dogs except for that thing?" Jin Gang Cannon held his dark blood in his arm, freeing up his hand to insert detonators and fuses into the TNT explosives.

  While talking, I and Jin Gang Cannon have arrived at the place where the white gas gathered before. It turned out to be an abandoned ammonia water station.

  "I almost suffocated to death in this thing when I was a kid." Jin Gang pointed at the ammonia water station in front of him, still fearful. Ammonia water stations may be unfamiliar to young people today, but they were common in many rural areas during the early years of the country's founding. The function of ammonia water is equivalent to that of chemical fertilizers now, except it's toxic and volatile, so it was usually stored in dugouts.

  "Woof woof!" The white wolf beside me started barking at the entrance of the ammonia water station. I took a closer look and indeed, a white aura was emanating from inside the cave. It seems they're all hiding in here.

  "My grass, do you want to blow up your good man together?" I turned my head and found that Jin Gang Cannon was solemnly taking out a lighter to detonate the explosives. I hurriedly snatched the explosives from his hand. This thing really can't be let him hold it."

  "What should we do?" Jin Gang Pa asked me as he had no idea.

  I sat down on a rock on the ground with a thud, set up the explosives, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes "Wait for Dawn." At this moment, the east had already turned white, and it wouldn't be long before dawn broke. By then, no matter what I did, it would be much more convenient.

  "Is Wind Chaser okay?" Jin Gang Pao's face was full of concern, it seemed that this short and stout man really had a thing for Murong Wind Chaser. Rushing over in a flurry, he said it was to avenge but it would be better to say it was to rescue the beauty.

  "Don't worry, your good man is safe, as long as we're okay, she's okay." I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Although I didn't know what those foxes had taken Murong Zhifeng away to do, the current situation was somewhat similar to some scenes from Journey to the West - when the monk was captured by demons, as long as his disciples were around, the demons usually wouldn't dare eat him right away.

  "Lao Yu, are these all transformed by that fox?" Jin Gang Pao sat beside me and flipped open my backpack.

  "It's not quite right to say it's changed, 'transformed' is more fitting." I pointed at the ammonia water station in front of us. "You've had a deep-seated fear of this place since you were young, so it transformed into this, but none of this is actually real."

  Jin Gang Pao rummaged through my backpack and found a piece of bear meat, which he fed to the white wolf in a flattering manner. The white wolf already knew that I and Jin Gang Pao were friends with Murong Zhifeng, so even when I wasn't around, Jin Gang Pao could still feed it. However, if I was standing right there, it wouldn't immediately eat, but instead would lift its head to look at me.

  "Go ahead and eat," I said with a smile, patting Bai Lang's head. Turning to Jin Gang, I joked, "You don't usually burn incense, but now you're trying to curry favor with the Buddha - it's unlikely to work."

  "Cut it out! You think... Ah, damn it! I'm outta here!" Jin Gang Pa didn't finish speaking and suddenly grabbed Shen Gui Pa and stood up.

  I hastily shifted my gaze away from the white wolf. At this moment, a young woman in ancient attire appeared at the entrance of the ammonia water station, rushing towards us with urgency.

  "What? Old Yu, is this real or fake?" The woman who rushed towards us had an expression similar to Murong Zhui Feng's, only her clothes were different.

  "Brother Niu, waaah~~~~~" The woman ran up and threw herself onto Jīn Gāng Pào's body, crying loudly. Jīn Gāng Pào was at a loss, neither pushing her away nor embracing her, staring at me with wide eyes.

  "Really!" I mistakenly pointed at the collection method. Mu Rong Zhui Feng's breath was easy to recognize, and his vital energy had almost reached its peak. There was no way to fake this.

  "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid!" Jin Gang Pao finally dared to hug Mu Rong Zhui Feng tightly and comforted him in a soft voice, his deep voice was suppressed to a thin thread, making me get goosebumps all over my body.

  After a while, Jingang Cannon saw Muyong Zhui Feng return to calmness, and then he helped her up and down to examine "Zhui Feng, what did they do to you?"

  "They took off my clothes......" Murong Zhui Feng's mind was damaged and he had no concept of shame, saying it out loud.

  "I'm going to die." Jin Gang's eyes turned red with rage, and he cursed as he grabbed the explosives next to me, lit them, and threw them into the cave entrance.

  "Cover her ears!" I reminded him as soon as I saw the TNT grenade being thrown. He quickly turned around, covered White Wolf's ears and squatted down. The explosion of TNT was extremely loud, something that Cannon Fodder and I had experienced during our time in the army.

  "Boom!" The loud noise seemed to come from a distance.

  I and Jin Gang pao stood up in shock, looking around, only to see that the explosion sound was coming from the mountain forest on the right side, followed by the residual branches and debris of trees.

  Before I and Jin Gang Pao could recover from our shock, the scene that appeared before us was even more shocking, almost making me and Jin Gang Pao drop our jaws.

  Not far away, an old-fashioned wooden wheelchair appeared at the entrance of the cave, pushed and supported by a group of people transformed from foxes, walking towards me and Jin Gang Pao. On the wheelchair, a woman in white clothes was leaning back, elegant and charming, with unparalleled beauty, her expression kind and gentle, like a fairy from the Jade Pool, making one dare not look directly at her.

  The ancients described a woman's beauty as "stunning fish, falling geese, closing the moon and shaming flowers". The most exaggerated words are also "overturning the country and overturning the city". But the woman in front of me in a wheelchair makes me feel that if I use the above words to describe her, it would be blasphemy. I ask myself, am I not a lustful monk? But seeing the woman in front of me still makes me exclaim "heavenly beauty!"

  I and Jin Gang Cannon stared blankly at her, while the wheelchair stopped a zhang away from us. The woman in white on the wheelchair smiled and opened her mouth.

  "Ignorant junior, reckless and immoral. I hope the true person will remember that I, a humble concubine, once guided you on a small matter, and forgive me..."
