Chapter 2996 The old man called the door
Twelve figures came one after another, stopping in front of the iron gate and not moving forward.
They seemed to be sure that there was someone in this room.
Including Tang Zhen, all the monks remained silent and never exposed their existence.
The previous experience made the monks more vigilant. It is absolutely impossible to open the door if it is not necessary.
"Your Excellency, you are hiding in the house, right?"
The old man asked in a low voice, while staring at the iron door intently, as if he wanted to see through everything hidden behind it.
The eleven disciples behind him were also staring at the iron gate, but their expressions were obscured by darkness.
Tang Zhen remained silent, as if he didn't hear anything.
In the dead silence, only the old man's voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears.
"The huge ship is eerie and weird, and it can be said that it is killing people step by step, which makes us mentally and physically exhausted.
This is just the beginning. If it continues, who knows what kind of danger will happen?
So please give me your help and help our master and disciples get through this difficult time. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness.”
The old man spoke sincerely and had no choice but to kneel down and beg.
The monks in the room couldn't help but feel a little moved when they heard this.
Previously, everyone had overcome the difficulties together, but now, in order to protect themselves, they had to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Although it is a bit cruel, there is nothing you can do about it.
As for Tang Zhen at the door, there was still no reaction, as if he had not heard the old man's plea.
"Your Excellency, can you bear to watch a group of our masters and disciples all die on this huge ship?"
The old man asked loudly again, his words were full of pleading, but this time it was Really kneel down.
"Master..."
Seeing the old man's behavior, a group of disciples rushed forward and tried to block his movements.
"A real man can kneel to the sky, but he must not despise himself so much. Even if we lose our lives, we can't let you endure the humiliation forever!"
A group of disciples gathered around, with faces full of expressions. The sad look makes all viewers moved.
A disciple turned his head, stared at the iron gate hatefully, and said in a sad and angry tone: "If it weren't for us, how could the master have endured such humiliation and begged you in every possible way?< br>
Since you are not willing, we will never force you, so we will take the master away so as not to embarrass you! "
The other disciples of the old man came forward angrily, trying to help the master leave.
"A group of traitors, they are so presumptuous. Who allowed you to speak in such a tone? ”
The old man kept struggling and reprimanded his disciples loudly, with an angry expression on his face.
During the struggle, the old man’s expression suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. out.
Then his face turned pale and he collapsed limply on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.
When a group of disciples saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly helped them and asked the master what was going on?
"It doesn't matter, I was just slightly injured, no need to make a fuss."
I looked at my disciple and said in a light tone, as if he had no regard for life and death.
"Master, you were injured, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The disciple who questioned Tang Zhen immediately picked up a backpack and opened it in front of everyone.
The backpack is not small. It is actually filled with food, probably weighing hundreds of kilograms.
"Master, since you are injured, you should eat some food quickly so that you can recover as soon as possible."
While the disciple was speaking, he picked up a piece of food and handed it to him with both hands. In front of the old man.
“Master, eat it quickly and repair the injury quickly.
You are our backbone. If something goes wrong, what should our brothers and sisters do? "The other disciples nodded one after another, with expressions of concern on their faces, without any falsehood at all.
"Food is precious, save it when you can, don't waste it. "
The old man waved his hand and refused the food presented to him.
"No matter how important food is, it cannot be compared with your body, master. As long as it can restore your health, So what if all the food is consumed!
Besides, the food in our hands is enough to consume. Even if there are six or seven more people, it will definitely be more than enough. ”
Hearing this, the other disciples nodded in agreement and dissuaded the master from eating the food quickly.
Seeing the filial piety of his disciples, I had an expression of relief, and then Received the food sent by the disciples .
This scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety was seen by the monks in the room.
They were not moved, but focused most of their attention on that scene. Pile food on top.
In the world of purple light, the importance of food is undoubted, and it is the guarantee for the monks to persevere until the end.
The monks had originally made up their mind that no matter how dangerous the situation of the old man and others was, they would never help.
The main reason is that the food is limited. If you help the other person, what should you do?
This kind of terrible hunger is not something that can be tolerated, but it can seriously kill people.
But when the old man and others have a lot of food in their hands, the situation becomes completely different.
The food in the other party's hand is not only enough for one's own consumption, but there is also some leftover.
And judging from the old man's appearance, the food should be very safe, otherwise they would never dare to eat it with confidence.
It happens that the food in my hand is obviously insufficient, so can I "borrow" some from the other party?
The monks were already a little tempted when they thought of this, and they all looked at Tang Zhen expectantly.
Tang Zhen is the leader of the team, everything must follow his arrangements, and you must not act without authorization.
To the disappointment of the monks, Tang Zhen said nothing and just looked outside silently.
Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he did not want to take in the old man.
"Sir, we should have enough space here, why don't you help?"
Although the main purpose is to get the food from the other party, there is no need to say it.
Hearing this, Tang Zhen turned his head and glanced at the monks.
"Do you both think that we should put each other in the house and then share their food?"
"That's right, sir, isn't this inappropriate?"
The reason why the conflict broke out is The problem lies in the shortage of food. As long as this problem is solved, the possibility of conflicts will be eliminated.
Therefore, the monks believed that there should be no problem in reaching out to help the old man and others.
“Do you still remember that the old man also got a strange key when we were on the punt?”
The five monks nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
“They must have traveled a lot after collecting so much food. Didn’t they come across a similar safe house?
According to my guess, there is a similar house on this ship. Definitely not too few.
It can even be said that there will be a key inside every flat-bottomed wooden boat.
You can get the key by destroying the flat-bottomed wooden boat when you board the giant ship.
When the old man saw the locked door, he couldn't imagine the purpose of the key, and he couldn't help but try to open it.
So under normal circumstances, the other party will never bring a pile of food to ask for help, but will choose to hide in the house.
As for the second doubt, how did the other party find our location accurately? It seems that those monsters can also do it.
If the old man’s judgment is based on the lock on the door, it will be more proof that the other party knows how to use the key.
There is another suspicious point, that is, they got so much food, but there was no damage at all.
Based on our previous experiences, do you think this is possible? ”
