Daomu Biji: The Mystic Nine

Book 2: Chapter 13

When Qi Tiezui saw that the soldiers werent making any moves, he muttered something under his breath and started crawling towards the banyan forest.

The soldiers immediately followed him, and that was when Qi Tiezui realized that these soldiers wouldnt act of their own accord unless they received precise orders.

Fo Ye had given him the right to command, so he had to command them by himself.

Although Qi Tiezui was a civilian assistant, he also knew that human lives were essentially pawns on a chessboard when it came to fighting in wars. Some people had it in them to pave the way with human lives and destroy others for the greater good. There were few people who could play the game without making mistakes when human lives at stake.

He thought about it carefully and knew that he couldnt really do much if he commanded them. After all, if something happened and people died because of him, not only would he feel guilty for the rest of his life, but he would also carry a lot of bad karma.

It would be better if he treated everyone like how he treated himself, so he waved at the people behind him and instructed everyone to climb like caterpillars. After that, they moved towards the banyan forest bit by bit.

After climbing for several hours, a soldier behind Qi Tiezui said, Ba Ye, it will be dawn by the time we get there. Do you still want to save Fo Ye?

Im saving you. Qi Tiezuis head was covered in a cold sweat. With Fo Yes abilities, he can definitely make it if he escapes. Its just a question of whether hes willing to run for his life or not.

Why wouldnt Fo Ye be willing to run for his life?

When has he ever run for his life? Zhang Qishan was the kind of person who flexibly changed strategies, but he would definitely attack without hesitation as long as there was a chance of succeeding.

Inside the banyan forest, Zhang Qishan did exactly what Qi Tiezui had thought he would do. The thought of leaving here had never even crossed his mind. He stared at the baby in the dark, not moving his eyes away as the baby stared back at him.

What are you exactly? Zhang Qishan asked.

The baby giggled and then stopped when he was thirty steps away from Zhang Qishan. Zhang Qishan pointed his gun at him, which stunned the baby for a moment. Then, the baby's expression turned ferocious.

During this period of time, the babys expression sometimes looked ferocious, sometimes adorable, and sometimes cunning. It was as if he hadnt completely forgotten the memories of his past life and they were still influencing him to some extent.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Qishan saw a pattern start to appear on the babys body.

Only part of it could be seen through the waning moonlight but it was obviously an unfinished tattoo.

A small portion of the Zhang familys tattoos would first appear during infancy, but they could already tell by the scales whether it was going to be a Qilin or a Qiongqi.

A Zhang? Zhang Qishan was surprised. Did the old man in the village take a child from the Zhang family and give it to the mountain god in exchange for a longer lifespan?

Did he do this for ultimate longevity?

Where did this child come from?

The baby was extremely vigilant. Zhang Qishan put his gun away, snapped off a banyan branch from the side, and made a toy similar to a cat toy.

This was one of the few toys that his father had made for him when he was little, and one that he still remembered how to make. 

He teased the baby with it. The little babys motion capture ability was very strong and he was quickly attracted by the toy. He gradually relaxed and began to laugh.

Zhang Qishan went over and picked the baby up again.

At this time, the little babys face suddenly turned ferocious again, but he wasnt looking at Zhang Qishan. Instead, he was looking at something behind Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan turned his head and saw the mountain god crawling over with its head drooping down. It instantly flung its arm out and knocked Zhang Qishan off the branch.

Zhang Qishan changed his movements in the air, fell into the water, and immediately lifted the child out of the water.

As the huge mountain god jumped down from the tree canopy above, Zhang Qishan saw that there was a human head under its armpit.

Conjoined twins!
