Chapter 126: Becoming an Offering
"Half of the wrench fingers have always been with us, and the other half can't be worn by the non-head of the house."
"As for you coming with a wrench this time, I don't know what the boss means. But I know that the Master will not entrust this to a distrustful person, nor will a disloyal monk know of their existence! Zhen Gongba turned around and said in a deep voice as he looked at the countless hanging statues floating in the air.
……
Yi Hao was silent.
"How many children are there in the village? Is it just those in the back mountains? Yi Hao said.
"Oh?" Zhen Gongba's face was shocked, but his face was immediately full of relief.
He never thought that Yi Hao would be so cautious and careful, and he had already explored the situation in the village clearly before entering Zhuao Village. It seems that Yi Hao has confirmed Zhu Aozhuang's loyalty. He couldn't help but feel relieved by the choice of the head of the house, and at the same time surprised by Yi Hao's steadiness.
If the Zhuaozhuang that Yi Hao saw was not what it is now, wouldn't it be that they had already been disposed of by Yi Hao. Those who cultivate the truth are resolute and resolute. Zhen Gongba was also secretly glad in his heart for his loyalty to the Sanyang Sect.
"There are fifty children in the village, but only twenty-one can cultivate."
"Half of them are descendants of our Zhen clan, and some of their fathers are in the Sanyang Sect. Half of them are the orphans of the Sanyang Sect, and their relatives have died in the battle for Sanyang. Zhen Gongba's eyes were slightly red.
"We have also adopted a group of widows of heroes who are loyal to the country, but none of them have the qualifications to cultivate the root of the truth. We adopted them to hide the true background of Zhu Aozhuang, but we also tailored them and chose to teach them some martial arts. Presumably Yi Hao already knew what happened after Zhu Aozhuang adopted the heroes of the loyal and good country, he added in order to avoid Yi Hao's suspicions.
In the past, the Sanyang Sect would come here every three years to secretly pick up a group of children. But in the last ten years, the Sanyang Sect seems to have severed ties with Zhuaozhuang. Zhu Aozhuang also couldn't know the situation of the Sanyang Sect thousands of miles away.
The Sanyang Sect has a rule that only the Sanyang Sect can send people to take the initiative to come to Zhuaozhuang, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhuaozhuang to go directly to the Sanyang Sect. The purpose of this was to prevent the ruins from being exposed.
"The sect sent me to ......"
"Actually...... It's not to pick them up and go to Sanyang! Yi Hao looked at Zhen Gongba and said solemnly.
"What...... Is it? How can this be ......" Zhen Gongba was stunned, his face was full of disbelief, and he said with some stammering.
"This, isn't it ......?"
"Yi Gongzi, did you say that the Sanyang Sect is in danger! Tell me about it......" Zhen Gongba seemed to think of something, and he grabbed Yi Hao's shoulders with a nervous face.
The expectations of the people of Zhuaozhuang for the Sanyang Sect, Yi Hao understood very well in his heart. He had a lot of conjectures about the reasons why the Sanyang Sect had come to Zhuaozhuang in the past ten years, but he couldn't tell the old man about it.
"Our Zhuaozhuang is a member of the Sanyang Sect, and if the Sanyang Sect is in trouble, our Zhuaozhuang must participate in the war!" Seeing Yihao shaking his head, the old man was speechless.
"Yi Gongzi, our Zhen clan has long been dependent on Sanyang for life and death!"
"It's just that our strength is indeed a little worse......" The old man sighed, his expression extremely lonely.
Yi Hao couldn't help but be moved by the Zhen family's willingness to give up everything for the sake of the Sanyang Sect, and their determination not to be afraid of sacrifice. With such a firm commitment to their original intentions and not forgetting their original mission, they truly regard the Sanyang Sect as their home!
But now, with the strength of the Zhen clan, it is only a drop in the bucket for the current crisis that the Sanyang Sect is in. If Zhu Aozhuang is exposed, there will even be a risk of breaking the "root" of the Sanyang Sect.
"I ...... This must not be allowed to happen. Yi Hao thought to himself.
"It's better for them to continue to protect the ruins, as well as the descendants of these martyrs. As long as the ruins are not destroyed and these young people do not die, there will always be hope for the Sanyang Sect...... "Thinking of the intention of the head of Chu Zhi's sect to send him, it should be the same."
"Do you know Zhen Jiaoer?" Yi Hao tried to change the topic and suddenly asked Zhen Gongba.
"Jiao'er!" Zhen Gongba's eyes lit up, and his eyes were suddenly full of spoiling.
She ...... It's my granddaughter! ”
"The kid who served the tea just now is her younger brother!"
"Oh? No wonder! Yi Hao couldn't help but wonder. It turned out that Zhen Jiaoer said that she was not allowed to bully them, and she was talking about her younger brother.
"Yi Gongzi, have you seen her...... Is she okay? Zhen Gongba's face was full of anxiety, and he looked nervously into Yi Hao's eyes.
"Don't worry!" Yi Hao saw that Zhen Gongba was attracted by his topic, and his heart was happy. But when he saw that Zhen Jiaoer was so nervous, he hurriedly comforted him.
"She's so nice. I saw her before I came...... She brought me this wrench! ”
"Your granddaughter's talent is very good, and she is now a cultivator in the middle stage of refining yuan!"
"That's right...... That's good, that's good! After listening to Yi Hao's words, Zhen Gongba breathed a sigh of relief gently.
"Are her parents in the village?"
"Her parents died in the battle of Sanyang Sect many years ago!" A trace of sadness appeared on Zhen Gongba's face.
Yi Hao was silent after hearing this......
"Bring her brother to see me tomorrow, I think he will want to see me too!" Yi Hao remembered that when he had a first conversation with Zhen Gongba outside the "Heroes Club", he dropped the teacup outside the hall, and Zhen Gongba called him "Jiang'er".
"Good!"
Subsequently, Zhen Gongba personally led Yihao to the backyard of Zhuaozhuang, a quiet courtyard to live temporarily. and wanted to arrange for two young girls to serve his daily life, but Yi Hao flatly refused. Seeing this, Zhen Gongba admired Yi Hao even more in his heart.
There are some cultivators who have mastered the power that transcends the world, and their minds will become impetuous and greedy. Some of them live a life of luxury and lewdness, and some even become nostalgic for the mundane and mingle with the world, and since then their cultivation has not been improved. People who cultivate the truth are not strong-minded, and they are most common among young cultivators. Seeing that Yi Hao can have such determination at a young age, Zhen Gongba also understands why the head of Chu Zhizhi entrusted him with such an important matter.
Zhen Gongba then called the one-eyed old man Zhou Lao in Tsing Yi and instructed him to inform the whole village that Yi Hao was the newly hired worship of Zhuaozhuang. All the orders of Yihao, everyone in the village must obey.
On the second day, Yi Hao met Zhen Jiang.
Zhen Gongba pulled Zhen Jiang and introduced him to Yi Hao. Zhen Gongba solemnly said to Zhen Jiang: "Jiang'er, this is the core disciple sent by our Sanyang Sect - Senior Brother Yihao!" ”
Yi Hao nodded and smiled at Zhen Jiang, and Zhen Jiang looked at Yi Hao eagerly. Zhen Jiang then asked about Zhen Jiaoer's situation, and Yi Hao briefly told him something.
When Zhen Jiang mentioned Yi Hao's cultivation, Yi Hao smiled and said nothing. Zhen Jiang saw that Yi Hao didn't say anything, as if he had a guess, and his eyes were contemptuous. The Sanyang Sect that came to Zhuaozhuang in the past were all elders, but they didn't expect to send only one core disciple this time. According to the regulations of the Sanyang Sect, as long as a disciple reaches the Kaiyuan realm, he can apply to become an elder. Therefore, the elders of the Kaiyuan Realm are extremely rare in the Sanyang Sect.
