Chapter 166 Three people traveling together
"Brother, I really wanted to carry you to a beautiful place to bury you, but... but... this is too scary. I have no choice but to bury you here..."
As Zhu Ganglie spoke, he began to grope the corpse.
He soon couldn't help but start cursing.
"You little brat Zhuge, you died without leaving me even a single thing, and you even... you dare to scare me... If you piss me off, I'll leave you here..."
Zhu Bajie cursed and even raised his foot to stomp on Kongming's face.
"Gang Lie, you've gotten quite bold, haven't you?"
Upon hearing that familiar reprimanding voice, Zhu Ganglie trembled and instantly retracted the raised foot.
His legs buckled, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Brother, brother! Please don't scare me, I know I was wrong, I'll find you a proper place to be buried right away."
Zhu Ganglie knelt on the ground and secretly looked up at "Kongming". He saw that "Kongming" was still lying on the ground, without any signs of life.
Zhu Ganglie rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was hallucinating.
He cautiously reached out to check "Kongming's" breath, but still found nothing.
"What... what's going on, brother? I'm a scaredy-cat, please don't scare me anymore!" Pigsy cried out, his voice trembling with fear.
At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the silence was terrifying.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and Pigsy felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hmph, you're incorrigible, always thinking about swindling money from me. I'm still eyeing you!"
A clear, ethereal voice rang in Zhu Ganglie's ears, yet it seemed to come from all directions, causing him to immediately prostrate himself on the ground, not daring to breathe.
However, in order to avoid being haunted by vengeful spirits, Zhu Ganglie still mustered up his courage and cried out.
"I was wrong...I was wrong, okay? Besides...besides, if I, Old Pig, hadn't risked my life to carry you out of the capital, you...you'd still be hanging from the flagpole like a kite!"
"So I have to thank you?"
Just then, a mocking voice rang out from behind Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Bajie froze instantly, slowly turning his head to see another Zhuge Liang waving a feather fan, looking at him with a half-smile.
Zhu Bajie stared wide-eyed at the "Kongming" lying on the ground, then at the one standing behind him, and was so frightened that his tongue got tied in knots.
"You... are you a human or a ghost? How... how come you have two older brothers?"
As he spoke, he unconsciously shrank back a little.
The "Kongming" behind him just smiled without saying a word, took two steps forward, waved his feather fan, and the "Kongming" lying on the ground instantly turned into ashes.
Pigsy was dumbfounded.
"Big...Big brother, this...this is something you did yourself, it has nothing to do with me..."
Just then, a flash of silver light appeared, and a dashing figure came into Zhu Ganglie's sight.
"Ah! My dear brother Zilong, come and save me! There's a ghost here!"
Zhu Bajie hurriedly scrambled behind the newcomer, poked his head out, pointed at Kongming who was still waving his feather fan, and screamed in a trembling voice.
The newcomer was none other than Zhao Yun. Holding a silver spear, he glanced at Zhu Ganglie and said, "Ganglie, stop talking nonsense. There are no ghosts. This is the Prime Minister himself!"
Zhu Bajie stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yun in disbelief, then glanced at Kongming, and stammered, "Brother Zilong, you...you're not mistaken, are you? Could it be...could it be that you also..."
"Gang Lie! I was thinking of you the moment I got away, but you were only thinking about how to squeeze money out of me. Now that I'm standing in front of you, you don't even recognize me."
Kongming waved his feather fan, his face showing a mixture of helplessness and reproach.
"That was just a decoy created to mislead the Sima family, and also to see how much sincerity you, you fool, truly have for me."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie looked at Zhao Yun beside him and saw that Zhao Yun nodded to him before he stepped out from behind Zhao Yun.
He scratched his head and said with a forced smile, "Brother, you're innocent! When I heard you were hung on the flagpole, I panicked and fought my way out of the Biyou Sect to collect your body..."
"Pah! Pah... I'll take your place and collect your corpse!"
"Then I remembered that my older brother still had hundreds of millions of gold notes on him. If I didn't take them, wouldn't that be letting someone else benefit? Besides, Little Pig also needs to plan for the future!"
Zhu Ganglie continued to defend himself eloquently.
In reality, Kongming would never truly blame him.
If Zhuge Liang were really dead, I'd be glad this pig wasn't so rule-abiding.
This way, at least you can survive in this cruel world of cultivation. Following the rules in everything makes it very difficult to survive in this world.
Apart from a few close friends and family members, Kongming did not follow the rules with others.
Zhao Yun chuckled and patted Zhu Ganglie on the shoulder, saying, "Ganglie, there's no need to explain further. The Prime Minister was just teasing you; how could he possibly blame you!"
hey-hey……
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie chuckled憨厚ly, "Of course, of course! How could my elder brother be such a petty person! Elder brother, do you think I'm right?"
Pigsy happily ran up to Kongming and started flattering him.
As for the fact that Kongming had abandoned him at Biyou Sect, he had long forgotten about it due to excessive fright.
Kongming was both annoyed and amused by Zhu Ganglie's obsequious manner.
He waved his feather fan, looked at Zhu Ganglie, and said earnestly, "The cultivation world is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to fathom. You must be more careful in the future, especially those who call you brother on the surface but are plotting against you behind your back. You must be more wary of them."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie's expression turned serious, and he nodded heavily, "Big brother is right, little pig will definitely pay more attention in the future."
Seeing this, Kongming nodded in satisfaction. He knew that although the pig was honest and simple, it was not stupid. With a little guidance, it would be able to understand the meaning.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie's expression changed, and he glared at Kongming, saying, "By the way, brother, was it the same reason you abandoned me, Old Pig, and escaped from Biyou Sect alone?"
Upon hearing this, Kongming was momentarily speechless, never expecting this fool to raise such a question at this time.
He coughed awkwardly twice, glared at you, and waved his feather fan, saying, "Big brother is just training you and teaching you a lesson. After I left, did those Biyou Sect elders who were once polite to you bully you?"
Kongming's lips twitched, and he immediately changed the subject.
Zhu Ganglie scratched his head, recalling his previous experience, and a look of indignation appeared on his face.
“Those old bastards, seeing that you’re gone, they really turned their backs on me. Not only did they treat me like a servant, ordering me around, but they also tried to steal my belongings.”
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Zhu Ganglie's eyes, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the actions of those Biyou Sect elders...
