Chapter 23: I Want to Change My Life!
Chu Qiguang added: "This disease can't be delayed, and it still has to be treated as soon as possible." In case of sequelae, I am afraid that I will have a dog's nature for the rest of my life, and even martial arts will not be able to cultivate. ”
As soon as Wang Cailiang recalled the experience of the past few days, he was very anxious: "Dad, have you heard, if you drag it out any longer, you will not be able to practice martial arts!
"Three hundred taels of silver...... Wang Chengwang touched his chin and said, "This nephew of Zhou Xian...... How many percent of my children are likely to not get sick and not get worse?"
Looking at his father's appearance, Wang Cai's conscience suddenly thought of what Chu Qiguang had said to him before.
......
“...... Some families were reluctant to pay for the money, and ended up drowning their children......"
......
Although Wang Cailiang felt that his father would not give up on him because of the huge sum of three hundred taels, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
I saw him rush up and grab Wang Chengwang's arm and shout: "Dad, do you want to see your only son ruined like this? If I don't have it, this won't be a matter of 300 taels of silver." ”
"This Wang family's future is not only your son, I can shelter you from the wind and rain. ”
"If you don't give me the money, I'll go to grandma!"
Wang Chengwang was so noisy that he had a headache, and finally sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll just give this silver." ”
In fact, Wang Chengwang was thinking about whether he could pay back the price just now, but now looking at his frizzy son's words, how could he bargain with Chu Qiguang, he could only drip blood in his heart and give out the three hundred taels of silver.
So Wang Chengwang then took out thirty ingots of silver with a total of three hundred taels from the cellar, put them all into a cloth bag, and sent them to Chu Qiguang.
Although he felt sorry for the three hundred taels of silver, since he gave it, Wang Chengwang hoped that the silver could exert the greatest effect.
So after talking about the silver, Wang Chengwang instructed his subordinates to prepare a table of banquets, and then beckoned Chu Qiguang to sit down with Wang Cailiang.
All kinds of fish, meat, fruits and vegetables were placed on the table, and there were maids serving from time to time, singing children, playing and singing maids playing pipa and guzheng, and Zhao Da was also called by Wang Chengwang to help with fun on the side.
Chen Gang also came with Zhang Da, but as soon as he saw Tuesday, the dog wanted to rush up with a stone and smash it, but Zhang Da stopped him and blasted the hammer.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Da scolded while beating: "He is now a guest of Wang Daguan, is it your turn to do it?"
Zhang Da looked at Wang Chengwang and Chu Qiguang embarrassedly: "It's all because I didn't discipline it well, this rammer knows how to smash people with stones, don't be like him." ”
Chen Gang held the beaten head and looked at the Tuesday dog with an unconvinced face, he couldn't understand, how could the Tuesday dog, who had lived next door to him since he was a child, become a guest of the king's officials?
Wang Chengwang glanced at Chen Gang: "Get out." So Chen Gang, who was unconvinced, was pushed out by the little guys.
The rest of the people, whether Wang Chengwang or Chu Qiguang, or Zhang Da, who was funny, seemed to be completely unaffected, guessing the order, laughing and coaxing the hall, the guests and hosts were happy, and time passed quickly.
Qiao Zhi hid on the eaves on the side and blew the cold wind, looking down at Chu Qiguang hot wine and hot food below, looking at him with ease, it seemed that after eating a meal, he already had a deep relationship with everyone and called him a brother.
'It's you...... Chu Qiguang. Qiao Zhi secretly said in his heart: "But this time I must change my life against the sky." ’
It wasn't until the second watch in the evening, that is, at about nine o'clock, that Chu Qiguang deduced that there was still a practice class and left the banquet, and walked towards the door of his house step by step.
Wang Chengwang instructed his subordinates to send his drunken son back to the bedroom, while he looked at the direction where the dog left on Tuesday and did not speak for a long time.
The butler walked over from behind him and said softly, "Master, do you think the young master's illness will be due to these two dogs......
Wang Chengwang's eyes froze, looked at the housekeeper and stopped the other party's words, and said coldly: "It won't be him." ”
"Even if it is, it can't be. ”
Steward Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and nodded after a while.
Wang Chengwang continued to instruct: "Let Zhang Da continue to contact the master on the other side of the Emperor Heavenly Dao, don't cut off the contact." ”
......
After Chu Qiguang on the other side left the Wang family, he instantly regained his sober appearance, and his legs, which were originally shaking, had also recovered neatly.
Qiao Zhi jumped on top of Chu Qiguang's head excitedly, and his tail swayed from side to side: "There is silver, finally there is silver, three hundred taels of silver!"
Chu Qiguang shook the bag of silver in his hand, if it wasn't for his recent martial arts practice to strengthen his body, he wouldn't be so easy to carry the three hundred taels of silver.
Hearing what Qiao Zhi said, Chu Qiguang replied: "This is just the beginning, and then you need to use the connections of the Wang family to send me to the county, and then participate in the martial arts department, and go to the imperial court to mix up the ......"
Today's experience also made Chu Qiguang more and more sure of his previous judgment.
He took Qiao Zhi into his arms, and while touching the cat's head, he sighed with emotion: "Master Qiao, this world is full of monsters, mortals are afraid and hate them, but most of them are helpless. ”
"Therefore, whoever can master the monster will be more able to be like a fish in water in this world. ”
Qiao Zhi's body trembled, and as he listened to these words, a sense of fear that made him feel extremely familiar rose from the depths of his memory, as if it suddenly choked the back of his fate, making him instinctively clamp his tail.
He looked back at Chu Qiguang and found that Chu Qiguang was looking at him, and said with a sincere face: "Master Qiao, will you help me, right?" Let's climb up together until we can control our own destiny, and by the way, transform this world into what we like." ”
Chu Qiguang added in his heart: 'Climb up...... is also to find the "Secret Urn of the Purple Mansion" that sent me to this world. ’
But in Qiao Zhi's eyes, the other party and the terrifying figure in his memory kept overlapping, and the more he looked at it, the more terrifying it became.
Qiao Zhi swallowed his saliva, and kept telling himself in his heart: "Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi, look at your useless appearance." What are you afraid of, this kid can't beat you now, don't be afraid of him!
"The best way to overcome fear is to face it!"
Qiao Zhi cheered himself up, stared at Chu Qiguang and said, "Then do you know why there are so few people in this world who are willing to join forces with demons?"
Chu Qiguang analyzed the situation he had learned in the past few days: "First of all, the Heavenly Master Sect is the state religion of the Han Dynasty, and almost everyone believes in it. In the teachings of the Heavenly Master Sect, there has never been a separation between humans and demons, with demons as enemies, and it is their duty to kill demons and eliminate demons. For the past two hundred years, the disgust and fear of demons have almost been engraved in the hearts of the Han people, which is the power of faith. ”
"Secondly, for the imperial court, demons have always been an unstable force, especially in the northwest grassland, northeast border towns, southeast coast and southwest mountains, the entire Han can be said to be surrounded by the demon clan, from the beginning of the founding of the country two hundred years ago, there have been demon clan rebellion.
Devil...... It has always been a big problem for the imperial court. ”
"That's why there are two major forces, the Taoist Temple and the Demon Suppression Division, who specialize in hunting demons inside and outside the court. Therefore, if someone is found to be colluding with demons, they will be destroyed by the imperial court with a thunderous force. ”
Hearing Chu Qiguang's analysis, Qiao Zhi was surprised: "Then you are still colluding with me?"
