The so-called Immortal Path is long and lonely,
After all, people are social animals, there are always moments of vulnerability, times of being trapped, and there are times when one hopes to have a like-minded companion around, to lend a helping hand, to support each other.
After all, there aren't many who can truly sever all ties and walk alone.
This bond is called a Daoist companion.
Just like Tang Tong wants to find a wife, and Tie Dan wants to find a good sword, it's all about hoping to find companionship. Whether the object is a person, a sword, or even a fish, it's just a matter of personal preference; the longing for the bond of a Daoist companion is the same.
So, even a lone star like Tie Dan has a Daoist companion, not to mention those he has cut down.
So, after killing the villagers and being punished to chop firewood at the foot of the mountain for three days, the companions of those people came looking for him.
