Chapter 11: The Prodigal Son's Ambition
It was the quiet of the night, and the streets were getting more and more deserted, and occasionally a few drunks were noisy around, or a few dogs barked, but they were all fleeting, and soon they were swallowed up by the blackness.
And in the old city block, there is a mysterious man walking slowly, he is wearing a shabby military coat, his face is full of wandering dust, looking a little sloppy, and the wood tightly wrapped in cloth behind his back is particularly eye-catching, the wood is half the width of his body, but tied to his body, it looks natural and unhindered, not dull at all.
He looked as he walked, seemingly leisurely, but as if he was looking for something left and right, until he saw a slight light from a dark corner, the light was extremely weak, if you didn't look carefully, it would only be regarded as a halo in the moonlight, but the homeless man smiled with satisfaction at this halo.
"You're mine, Maple City. The homeless man said, his eyes full of greed.
The next day, Lao Zhang did not go back to the house to sleep directly after the night shift, but directly called Lao Di, and the two went to repair the [City Shield], Lao Zhang did not sleep all night, but there was nothing unusual at all, but he was much more energetic than Lao Di who had just woken up.
"Zhang Wei, is that kid okay?" asked Lao Di.
At this time, the two were sitting on the bus, and two kind-hearted young people specially gave them a seat, so they had time to talk.
"It's nothing, it's just that he's tired, I've helped him take leave to rest today, let's take care of it first." Lao Zhang said.
"This kid looks very talented, why is he only at this age, he is still only at the cloth level, it stands to reason that this master is a high-level apprentice, are you patronizing your own cultivation?" Lao Di asked curiously.
"That's not it, how to teach and how to teach, I don't let him go at all. Lao Zhang returned with a smile.
"What do you mean? do you mean I let my daughter go?" replied mockingly.
"My brother got up early in the morning and was angry, brother, I didn't dare to ask for a bargain in front of my brother, I misunderstood. Lao Zhang hurriedly said no, and then said: "This kid doesn't seem to be too enlightened about his own path, just listen to my instructions and learn, these basic techniques, do need to follow the rules, but after the cloth steps, it's like having your own bowl, you have to learn to pretend your own things, and you can't be my old bird feeding the chicks, what I send him to eat, brother, you should be able to understand this meaning." ”
"Alas, my daughter Xiaohong, she has learned a set of her mother's, and mine, she has always rushed to learn it by herself, Wu Sanjie passed the exam three years ago, and the [rank witch] said that she is like this, and it is estimated that she will surpass me in another five years and three years. Lao Di said.
"To each his own, well. Lao Zhang smiled helplessly.
The bus drove all the way to the terminal, Lao Zhang took Lao Di, the two old people chatted all the way, and it didn't take long to come to an old city block, through a dilapidated alley, and then came to a remote alley, the two were talking and laughing and ready to complete the work.
But not long after he walked in, Lao Zhang was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Lao Di was frightened by Lao Zhang's sudden behavior and couldn't help asking.
"Intruders have been here. Lao Zhang said.
"He's still here?" asked Lao Di.
"He's gone, but I guess he must have left some token behind, and he's going to challenge the lord of the 'guardian' of the city. Lao Zhang felt all kinds of uneasiness.
"This can also be a challenge, heh! I knew I would have challenged you too. Lao Di said jokingly.
Lao Zhang did not respond, but walked over and picked up a cyan dagger in the corner, which was inlaid with dragon scales on the handle.
"The guardian is granted by the [Heavenly Official], so you need to challenge and hold the token of the [Heavenly Official], this is it. Lao Zhang took the dagger to Lao Di, and there was a note under the dagger.
"Fengcheng Weijun, hello, I have seen a lot of ghosts and ghosts here recently, but it is because the city cover is wide open and the king does nothing, so that the monster cholera world, the king is also derelict in his duties. Therefore, the envoy of the heavenly official was furious, and asked him to come and negotiate this matter, so that he also has the right to challenge the throne of the guard..."Lao Di read one by one.
"Hmph, how can there be ghosts and ghosts, the city cover has only been open for more than a day, and this situation is not unique to Fengcheng, how can I be derelict in my duties, can my 'Qiankun Mirror' still lie?" said the old man angrily.
"Anyway, does he just want to challenge you? what's there to be afraid of, you are afraid of him as a warlock?" said Old Di in a high-pitched voice.
Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's Zhang Wei..."
Zhang Wei suddenly sneezed, and he didn't know if someone was talking about him.
Today, the master asked for leave for himself, and it was already eight or nine o'clock when he got up early this morning, obviously the master did not wake up himself to practice morning exercises, and then found that the master did not go home at all, thinking of yesterday's master's explanation, so he hurriedly cleaned up, planning to find the whereabouts of yesterday's intruder.
Just when Zhang Wei went to the parking lot to ride his cool motorcycle, he suddenly sneezed, and at the same time, a person he least wanted to see appeared.
"Don't tell me, you're waiting for me here. Zhang Wei said impatiently.
"I'm not waiting for you, I'm waiting for a pig, a pig who is ungrateful. Di Xiaohong said angrily.
"Then you wait slowly, and leave by my motorcycle first. Zhang Wei said.
"Hey, why are you so stingy, it's because you're not as good as others, and it's not that I'm so ugly for you to lose, why do you keep treating me so badly!" Di Xiaohong stomped her foot and said.
"If I were you, I used such a despicable trick, I should have hid and introspected myself. Zhang Wei said seriously to Di Xiaohong.
When Di Xiaohong heard this, although she was angry, she still reluctantly left a lot from the motorcycle.
"It was my father who asked me to come to you, saying that your master asked you not to look for it, just stay at home. Di Xiaohong still tried to lower her tone and said.
"I don't believe what you say, who knows what tricks you want to play. Zhang Wei had already put on his helmet, started the motorcycle, and didn't pay attention to what Di Xiaohong said.
"Whatever you want!" Di Xiaohong really wanted to call the mobile phone to Zhang Wei's face, but he still held back, after all, Zhang Wei was already wearing a motorcycle helmet, and it was not worth smashing the mobile phone.
Zhang Weidu drove the motorcycle and left here, the roar of the engine seemed to be a strong mockery of Di Xiaohong, but Di Xiaohong could only look helplessly, and said to himself: "[Yura's Secret Mantra] is not as bad as you think, you megalomaniac." ”
Zhang Wei's mobile phone kept ringing ringtones, but Zhang Wei knew that it might be Di Xiaohong who was killing a serial CALL, so he didn't care, but when it came to the traffic light, he was afraid that it was the master who called, although the master never used the mobile phone or other communication things, but he still looked at the mobile phone by chance.
found that it was not an unfamiliar number calling, but a call from Bai Lian, so he hurriedly found a place to park and dialed back.
"Hey. The mobile phone was connected, Zhang Wei hurriedly said.
"Hey, Zhang Wei, I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you to go to the library with me today, but I met my red-haired sister just now, and she said that you had something to do, so I didn't fight anymore. Bai Lian said on the phone.
"I'll send you there, where are you?" Zhang Wei asked.
"No, no, I'll just take the bus by myself. Bai Lian hurriedly said.
"So, you're at the bus stop, right? I'll be right there. Zhang Wei said softly.
Then Zhang Wei hung up the phone, not giving Bai Lian a chance to refuse him. Fortunately, I didn't go far, and it was only a little distance back.
After Bai Lian saw that strange phenomenon yesterday, he was curious and inquired a lot of information, but unfortunately he found it well, and there were one or two mentions in the book, but the news on the Internet was almost blocked, so today I wanted to go to the library to check the information, and by the way, I took Dajun and Xiaoying, the two greasy lizard lovers, out for a walk.
And Bai Lian originally wanted to go by himself, but when he thought of going to the library, he unconsciously thought of Zhang Wei, so he called him, but then he thought about it, Zhang Wei has someone he likes, although he is a big fat man, he can't get involved in other people's houses like this. So he hung up the phone, but obviously he called and hung up again, would Zhang Wei think about it? Besides, he just made an appointment to read a book together, and he didn't mean anything else.
So Bai Lian continued to call, hoping to explain clearly, but Zhang Wei didn't answer, so she didn't fight more, and then she met the red-haired Di Xiaohong, Bai Lian only remembered that she had become a fat person, so she was called Di Xiaohong, the red-haired sister.
After Bai Lian heard Zhang Wei's call, he waited there, and it didn't take long for Zhang Wei to come to Bai Lian with a cup of ginseng tea in his left hand and right hand.
"Wow!" Bai Lian exclaimed, he didn't expect to come, and he bought himself a drink by the way.
"What are you marveling at?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Eh, Zhang Wei, let me ask you something. Bai Lian took the drink, got into the back seat of the motorcycle, and said.
"What's the matter?" asked Zhang Wei.
"Are you so caring to every girl?" Bai Lian knew that he shouldn't ask, but he still asked.
"Only bought for you. Zhang Wei said.
Bai Lian was suddenly surprised and didn't dare to speak, but blushed in the back seat. The two lizards in the white ripple bag were so happy that they immediately heard that something was wrong.
After Zhang Wei sent Bai Lian to the library, he was about to leave, Bai Lian was about to ask Zhang Wei about her and the fat girl, but when he thought that Zhang Wei should be in a hurry, he wanted to stop talking, and finally held back, the atmosphere was strangely embarrassing.
"By the way, can you help me keep an eye on it? A necklace in the shape of a crescent moon, very bright, with a faint golden glow. Zhang Wei saw that Bai Lian was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said something to ease the atmosphere, but he really planned to understand this matter, so he asked for opinions by the way.
"Okay, no problem, then I'll go up, you be careful on the road. Bai Lian hurriedly said.
Zhang Wei nodded, and Bai Lian went up alone, but when he reached the door, when he turned his head, he saw that Zhang Wei was still standing there looking at himself, and he had such an illusion that Zhang Wei seemed to be very special to himself, this ambiguous feeling.
Zhang Wei watched Bai Lian enter the library, and was about to set off to look for it, and opened the "Qiankun Mirror" specially given to him by the master, but as soon as he used it, suddenly there was a reaction in the Qiankun Mirror, and there seemed to be a change in the sky.
Zhang Wei hurriedly looked up and saw that at the top of the library, there was a man standing with a giant tree on his back...
