The arrangement on the riverbank is no different from when Zhang Haotian and the others left, except that the original fire has been extinguished by the rain. The rain came down on the way back, and everyone was drenched in the rain, and their feet were all traces left by walking on the muddy path.

The bank of the river is quite far away from Pucun, and Zhang Hai doesn't know which direction this place is located in, so Zhang Hai can't find this place for a while.

"Don't light the fire, let's go into the tent. After Wang Miao gave this order, everyone followed him into the tent, and Wei followed him into the back.

The tent was a talisman, and the space inside was much larger than it looked, enough for four or five people to move around. After Wang Zhao put Zhang Zhaimiao on the ground, Wang Miao immediately tied up Zhang Zhaimiao and untied the talisman he had put on it.

After seeing Wang Miao do this, Zhang Haotian stepped forward without thinking much and wanted to stop Wang Miao: "Teacher, he is my cousin, don't you want to be like this?"

Wang Miao didn't stop his movements because of Zhang Haotian's dissuasion, and said as he moved: "I didn't plan to do anything to your cousin, but he will definitely be very excited when he wakes up, so I'll just do a little bit first." And Haotian, you should also want to know what happened. ”

"Teacher, you already knew that he was my cousin. Zhang Haotian heard it from Wang Miao's tone.

Wang Miao didn't say anything, after tying a strong knot, he sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the students who were all watching him, and the demon spirit youth who had woken up on the side was also watching him, Wang Miao realized that he was about to explain something to Zhang Haotian.

"Someone from my house is here?" Zhang Haotian asked tentatively, his voice was very small, for fear that Wang Miao's next sentence would be a scolding. When he saw Wang Miao's gaze on his body, Zhang Haotian immediately lowered his head.

"Your father is here too. Wang Miao said calmly.

As soon as he heard that his father had also come to the Western Regions, Zhang Haotian's originally drooping head immediately raised again, and it was not surprising that a child who had been away from home for more than half a year had such a reaction when he heard the news of his father: "Dad, why is he here? Why do you want to come? He knows that I am here?"

"Haotian, he's not here for you. Wang Miao ruthlessly extinguished Zhang Haotian's excitement with a plate of cold water, Zhang Haotian calmed down a little, his face was a little lost, but maybe he didn't even notice it, then Wang Miao continued, "You should almost know what your father is here for." ”

Wang Miao tried to induce Zhang Haotian to speak out, and he had already decided to let the two juniors of the Zhang family here understand the heaviness behind what the Zhang family had done for so many years.

"Demon spirit?" Zhang Haotian said the word with some hesitation, to be honest, he couldn't think of any other reason for his father to appear here.

Wang Miao nodded, and began to say his position to Zhang Haotian: "Haotian, my position is the opposite of the Zhang family, the demon spirits that your Zhang family has been hunting, I have been protecting them, and those stone chains are the talismans that I made to cover up the demon aura on their bodies. ”

"Why do you want to do this?" Zhang Zhaimiao, who had been in a coma, happened to wake up, and asked weakly, he didn't have much physical strength to attack his anger when he just woke up.

Wang Miao glanced sideways at Zhang Zhaimiao, then looked at the demon spirit youth who was resting on the bed, and began to explain to Zhang Zhaimiao and everyone here.

"Do you really know about demon spirits? Your Zhang family has never lived in a demon society, and you have never understood the slightest bit about the temperament of demon spirits, so you equate demon spirits with evil without authorization, do you really think that the creed that Zhang family set up in the ancestral hall really has the slightest credibility? How many years ago did people begin to forget? It was the Zhang family that became the home of demon extermination, everyone forgot, the four spirits of the Dao realm, and the demon spirit is the best. ”

"The best demon spirit?" Zhang Haotian repeated these four words.

And Zhang Zhaimiao retorted a little unconvinced, although he didn't have the strength, but his tone was still very firm: "There is no basis for what he says." ”

"Hmph. Wang Miao sneered, his eyes drifted a little, as if he remembered some bad memories, "The demon spirit is very special, a mountain and a river, a grass and a tree can be a demon, and the rich Dao spirit will make them have spiritual consciousness when they have a coincidence, at this time, whether it is the mountain grass or the riverside stone, it will transform into a human form and walk in the world." The so-called demons and spirits are all natural things, since this is the case, how can there be good and evil thoughts, good and evil. ”

Everyone was speechless, except for Zhang Zhaimiao, who bowed his head and fell into deep thought, Zhang Zhaimiao looked at Wang Miao, and his own will that was not firm enough began to waver. Wang Miao saw that no one spoke, so he continued to preach.

"Muli, it's him, the Pucun villager you rescued. Wang Miao pointed to him who was sleeping on the side, "His family's entire village is a demon spirit that was transformed into a demon spirit after the dandelion in a dandelion field in the Eastern Regions was reproduced for thousands of years, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Zhang family, I took them here, and then they have been living here, living an isolated and carefree life." They have never done anything to hurt nature and reason, kill people and sell goods, why did the Zhang family destroy their entire village. ”

Wang Miao began to stare at Zhang Zhaimiao's eyes, he saw that kind of look, the eyes he was very familiar with, he had seen it in many Zhang family members, including himself, and began to doubt whether the things he believed in were real.

"Zhang Zhaimiao, since you did it yourself, you should have seen it, don't you really feel that it is wrong for a moment, even if it is only for a moment. ”

Zhang Zhaimiao's heart trembled, his forehead began to feel cold, and every word Wang Miao said pierced Zhang Zhaimiao's current weakness.

"Think about it again, the way he looks at you, does he have the slightest anger, hatred or curse you?"

The eyes of the old village chief seemed to appear in front of Zhang Zhaimiao's eyes again, Zhang Zhaimiao saw it very clearly, how could there be such negative emotions of anger, hatred, and curse in such eyes, Zhang Zhaimiao only saw it, only saw it......

"He forgave you and forgave all the Zhang family who destroyed this village. ”

That's right, there's nothing wrong with it at all, Zhang Zhaimiao gave up struggling, and her originally stiff body loosened weakly. Zhang Zhaimiao was in pain, and the contradiction between the reality he saw with his eyes and the beliefs he had accepted since he had grown up clashed violently in his mind.

Next, Wang Miao's words were no longer for anyone, but for his own self-talk: "No matter how much the Zhang family persecutes the demon spirits, they will not have the slightest hatred for the Zhang family, so they always don't stand up to resist, they never suffer because of these, but I will, Aya." ”

Wang Miao inadvertently called her name with a crying voice, Wang Miao realized that she had lost her words, obviously just wanted to explain the truth about the demon spirit, but accidentally brought her feelings too deeply, this is not to blame Wang Miao, his relationship with the demon spirit could not be severed in his life.

Wang Miao was silent for a long time, and no one dared to say half a word, until Zhang Haotian spoke: "Does it mean that our family has always been wrong?" ”

"More than ten years ago, the Zhang family killed the snow demon of Snow City in the Western Regions, in the middle of summer in June, three years of snowfall, the once prosperous Snow City was buried by three years of blizzard, and thousands of people in Snow City were homeless. Demon spirits, if they are not born of plants and trees, their life is the lifeblood of nature. Whether the Zhang family is right or wrong, you can judge for yourself. ”

The night passed, Zhang Haotian and Zhang Zhaimiao, who were members of the Zhang family, did not confirm their answers, as for the remaining three, Xu Zifeng and Wang Zhao would not have any doubts about Wang Miao, and Eryangu had not thought about this problem deeply at all, in his opinion, it had nothing to do with him.

The tent was packed up, and Zhang Zhaimiao had been untied, but his body was inexplicably weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he had to lean against the tree next to him and watch Zhang Haotian and them pack their luggage.

"Are you all packed? Then let's get ready to go, we can't afford to lose time. After Wang Miao glanced at the four of them, he let them start moving.

But Zhang Haotian opened his mouth and said, "Teacher, my cousin Zhai Miao's body is still so weak. Don't you take him with you?"

Wang Miao glanced at Zhang Zhaimiao coldly, and said lightly: "Our paths are not the same, presumably the Zhang family is also searching for him, and we don't need to take him too far." Although he is weak now, he will not be in danger of his life, and if something happens, the cat will protect him. ”

Wei You's sharp eyes stared at Wang Miao, and Wei Youyou more or less realized that Wang Miao was by no means a simple person, but he didn't expect that he had roughly guessed his true face, at least he already knew his strength, and Wei had a sense of crisis, but Wang Miao ignored his vicious gaze and turned his head away without care, walking towards the planned route.

Except for Zhang Haotian, no one paid attention to the weak Zhang Zhaimiao, and followed Wang Miao out of this place one by one, only Zhang Haotian stood in place and looked at Wang Miao who was gradually walking away, and then looked back at Zhang Zhaimiao: "Cousin, you are okay." ”

"Haotian, can you use the talisman now?" Zhang Zhaimiao asked weakly.

Zhang Zhaimiao's sudden question caught Zhang Haotian a little off guard, and nodded hastily, Zhang Zhaimiao smiled with satisfaction, no matter how weak he was, he couldn't miss Zhang Haotian's future.

"Follow your teacher, don't worry about me, I'll make a signal for my uncle to find me. I'll go see you when the Beast Spirit Tower opens. Zhang Zhaimiao tried to squeeze out a little smile.

"Cousin, you have to be careful. Zhang Haotian walked briskly towards Wang Miao with his back to Zhang Zhaimiao, looking back at Zhang Zhaimiao from time to time until he disappeared from his sight.

Zhang Haotian followed Wang Miao, and kept following behind the young demon spirit wood, not daring to step forward to talk to Wang Miao. After Wang Miao saw Zhang Haotian follow, his originally slow pace began to speed up, and he hurried to the next safe demon spirit village to settle in Muli.
