Chapter 115: The Guide Team
When he went home this time, Wang Chong only felt that his parents were walking very slowly, and compared with the previous appearance of being alive and vigorous, it was completely the appearance of two people.
Along the way, many people stopped saying hello when they saw them, and turned around as if avoiding the plague god.
What made Wang Chong sigh was that Lin Zhou and Lin Wu, the father and daughter, were also dragged home by Lin Wu's mother, obviously, although Lin Zhou still had brotherly love, Lin Wu's mother pulled him home out of consideration for the overall situation.
The reason is self-evident.
Back home, the originally lively auspicious inn was no longer empty at the moment, and even the housekeeper and a few subordinates looked at Wang Chong's gaze with pity and pity.
"As a short-lived person, it seems to be really miserable." Wang Chong shook his head with emotion.
However, he was not worried, he was still young, and he was still more than ten years away from the date of his twenty-first birthday, and he was completely able to cultivate himself during this time.
When the time comes, if the evil creature wants to take his life, it will depend on whether he has the ability to do so.
"Son!"
After returning home, Zhao Dahai closed the door and looked at Wang Chong, who was only about one meter tall, with Wei Yan.
"My poor son, what should I do now, woo woo woo ......" Wei Yan was a woman after all, and she couldn't help crying at the moment.
"Cry, cry, stop, don't you think our family is unlucky?" Zhao Dahai usually has a gentle personality, and he will not get angry when he encounters big things.
But this time, he couldn't help it.
After speaking, Zhao Dahai covered his chest, couldn't help coughing a few words, and scolded in a low voice: "That dog's master Wu, he was really ruthless, the old man was an old bone, and he was almost kicked apart." ”
"Dad, are you alright, I'll show you." Wang Zhong walked over.
Zhao Dahai waved his hand: "Although I am old, I know in my heart that I can't die, it's just you, hey...... You also knew before that the Linggen number represents your living longevity......"
"Didn't we ask for the spiritual root ash from the master before, it stands to reason that Xiao Dong drank it, it should be useful." Wei Yan said anxiously.
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that that thing didn't work." ”
"Daddy, don't worry, I still believe that man will win the day." Wang Chong said solemnly.
"Hey, hopefully, but son, don't worry, even if everyone else ignores you, your father and I won't give up on you, even if you can only live to be twenty years old, I will let you live well."
Zhao Dahai said, and turned out a wooden box from the room, which was neatly placed with thousands of taels of silver.
"Hey, these family businesses were originally passed on to you after I died, but they are already like this, and they can't be kept."
"Dad, what are you doing with all this silver?" Wang Zhong was puzzled.
"There is an unwritten rule in the city that ten years before the death of a short-lived person, he must go out of the city to join the guide team."
"Leadway?"
"Well, I didn't explain it to you before, because I didn't think it was necessary, but now I can't help it, the so-called guide team is the person who attracts evil things, because our city has been peaceful, there are few evil things, on the one hand, there are masters in charge, evil things can't invade the city, on the other hand, it's the guide team."
"These guides are joined by people who are not alive for a long time, and the purpose is to get out of the city and attract the evil creatures away from here. For example, the mass grave where evil things have been causing chaos in recent years, Gaojiazhuang, is visited by many people who lead the way and lead the evil things to other places, so there has been peace here. ”
"No wonder the people who lead the way are dangerous." Wang Chongdao.
"Well, so the people who join the guide team are not many people who have a long life to join, Xiaodong, you are only seven years old now, and when you are fifteen years old, I am afraid that you will also join the guide team, this is the rule of the city lord, even if I don't want you to join, you must go, otherwise it will be regarded as disobeying the orders of the imperial court......"
"Dad, mother, don't worry, I'm not afraid."
He had planned to find a way out of the city when he grew up, but now it seems that he doesn't need to find a way.
"My poor child, joining the guide team is equivalent to pinning your head to your pants, hey......" Wei Yan couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
"Xiao Dong, I will invite Master Gao to come over these days, no matter what, you can learn a few tricks by his side, and after the age of fifteen, you can have a self-protection power."
Wang Chong nodded slightly, it would be good to have a master to teach.
Seeing his son's expression so calm, Zhao Dahai felt a little comforted in his heart, "It's a pity, after you become a short-lived person, I'm afraid that your marriage with Lin Wu will be ......."
"It's okay, everyone likes to live a long life, I have a short life, I'm afraid no one will marry me." Wang Zhong comforted.
"Xiao Dong, it's good that you can think so, but my father will try to let you marry before you die, Lin Wu doesn't want to marry, I will also find other women......"
Subsequently, Zhao Dahai told some and went out to find Master Gao.
This Master Gao is said to be a casual cultivator in the city, and he doesn't know many spells, and compared with Master Bai, Master Wu, the difference is too far.
But for the people in the city, they couldn't invite Master Bai and Master Wu at all, so they retreated to the next best thing, and they could only ask Master Gao for help.
…………
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Master Gao is said to have been busy recently and has not come, so Wang Chong can only cultivate by himself.
Now the backyard of Zhao's mansion has been installed by Wang Zhong with several wooden stakes, boxing sandbags, and training day and night, as for the outside, he never goes out during the day, only secretly goes out with Zhao Rong at night.
"Bang bang!" The fists rained down on the sandbags, which were made of mud and were rudimentary, but very strong.
But no matter how strong it was, under the heavy punch of the king, the sandbag broke again, and all the sand and soil inside flowed down.
Wang Chong gasped slightly, and was just about to rest, when he saw a delicate figure quietly walking in.
"Lin Wu, why are you here?" Wang Chong looked at the door, only to see Lin Wu quietly walking over, and from time to time he looked behind him.
"I'm coming to see you." Lin Wu made sure that there was no one behind him, so he walked in.
"I'm short-lived, so it's unlucky to look at me."
"This is just a rumor, I have already been tested to the seventh level of the spirit root anyway, so I am not afraid." Lin Wu looked at Wang Chong's eyes and softened: "I'm sorry." ”
"What are you doing with me saying I'm sorry?" Wang Chongle felt that this woman was very interesting.
"That day, you were tested to level 2 of the spirit root, and I left directly, don't get me wrong, I was dragged back by my mother."
Wang Zhongzhong's heart warmed: "Yes, but I also understand, I have a short life after all." ”
"But after all, I have a family affair with you, and I can't hide it, my mother does not agree to our marriage, but ...... But my father and I both think that people have to fulfill their promises, Xiaodong, don't worry, I won't give up on you, it's just a widow, I can stand it......"
