Back in the basement, the first thing Xie Yinian did was empty the table and gently place the small crockpot on it.

He touched the wall of the crockpot and asked Yao Rong, "Do you want to burn some incense, candles, paper money or something?" ”

"Whatever you want."

It was evening, Xie Yinian kept this matter in mind and planned to buy it tomorrow morning.

He was not in a hurry to sort out the contents of the suitcase, holding a bottle of green tea, he came to Yao Rong and confirmed again: "Do you really want to teach me how to become a Heavenly Master?" ”

"Nature is true."

Xie Yinian not only handed over the green tea in his hand, but also made a gesture to kneel: "Then shouldn't I change my voice and call you Master?" ”

Yao Rong stopped him: "Let's call me Ms. Yao in the future." Also, I can't drink a drink, so you can drink it yourself. ”

Xie Yinian suddenly smiled, revealing a bit of youthful spirit: "Listen to you, I will shout whatever you like for me." ”

System: [......]

[You are bullying him for not having common sense. 】

Those young Heavenly Masters who have been trained step by step know that it is impossible for a Heavenly Master to become a ghost after death, and it is impossible for a ghost to understand the Heavenly Master's magic.

Yao Rong: This is not a normal situation at all.

But Xie Yinian didn't know.

Yao Rong smiled slightly: "Why bother. ”

"He started too late, if it were other Heavenly Masters who came to cultivate him, they wouldn't be able to maximize his potential."

The next morning, Xie Yinian and Yao Rong drove the navigation and found an incense shop in a small alley.

He asked Yao Rong quietly: "Is the quality of the incense candles sold here good?" ”

"Average, but good quality, you can't afford it."

Xie Yinian: "......"

Xie Yinian whispered, "Then is this useful for you?" ”

Yao Rong was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to buy it and burn it for me?" ”

"I didn't have any apprenticeship for you. Although I can't afford to buy a better quality one now, I will definitely buy it when I make money in the future. ”

The corners of Yao Rong's lips curled slightly, even if she didn't need it, she wouldn't refuse Xie Yinian's heart: "Okay, with you helping to burn paper money and incense candles, I don't have to worry about the incense being broken." ”

This was the only thing he could do for Ms. Yao in a short period of time, so Xie Yinian walked into the store and bought two large bags of incense candles and paper money.

Yao Rong taught Xie Yinian how to burn incense, candles, paper money, and the imps in the crockpot.

Xie Yinian finished following the steps taught by Yao Rong one by one, and looked at Yao Rong with a worried face.

Yao Rong nodded and praised: "Very well done." In the future, follow this step to ensure that the incense candle paper money is burned to the person who wants to burn it. ”

A wisp of white smoke came out of the crockpot, swaying gently, as if echoing Yao Rong's words.

Yao Rong stretched out his fingertips, lit the wisp of smoke, and then separated a wisp of yin qi to feed to the little ghost.

Xie Yinian dragged out the suitcase in the corner and counted last night's harvest.

He didn't know a lot of things, and he was embarrassed to ask Yao Rong about them all, but fortunately, there was a treasure catalogue in Zhang Tianshi's collection, and Xie Yinian compared the catalogue and almost recognized these talismans, materials, and magic weapons.

As soon as these things were sorted out, Xie Yinian's phone rang.

Twenty minutes later, Xie Yinian rode his bicycle to a café in a nearby shopping mall.

He pushed open the door and saw Xie Zuo, Xie Chuan and a middle-aged man he didn't know sitting together, with a drink in front of him.

"Xie Xiaoyou." Xie Zuo smiled and beckoned to Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian walked over, and the waiter served him a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Xie Zuo said: "I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered you a glass of orange juice, if you don't like it, you can order another one yourself." ”

Xie Yinian took a sip of the cup and said crampedly: "It's okay, I can do it." ”

Xie Zuo said: "I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to introduce myself to Xie Xiaoyou. My surname is Xie, and my single name is a supporting character. This is my nephew, Xie Chuan. There is also this one, Zhou Daoyou of the Zhou family. ”

After introducing himself, Xie Zuo got straight to the point: "I took the liberty to disturb Xie Xiaoyou today, because I have a few things I want to tell Xie Xiaoyou. Zhang Tianshi died last night. ”

Looking at Xie Yinian's unsurprised expression, Xie Zuo said, "It seems that Xie Xiaoyou already knows." ”

Xie Yinian only said one sentence: "Master has informed me of this matter." ”

But the information revealed in this sentence is enough.

Xie Zuo was stunned: "I don't know who your master is?" ”

Xie Yinian said: "It's the Heavenly Master who saved me yesterday. ”

Xie Zuo choked his wrist, and a good seedling slipped away from his eyes.

Xie Chuan didn't speak, just twisted his eyebrows slightly, and kept guessing the identity of the female Heavenly Master in his mind.

That Zhou Tianshi suddenly said, "Did your master kill Zhang Yongyuan?" ”

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Zhou Tianshi's serious face, but there was an indelible pain in his eyes: "Five years ago, my eldest son Zhou Liao died at the hands of Zhang Yongyuan, and since then, I have always wanted to seek revenge on Zhang Yongyuan and offer a reward for his whereabouts on the Xuanjie Forum. It's a pity that he was never found. I heard that he was dead last night, so I rushed to D City overnight. ”

"Please convey my gratitude to your master."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tianshi took out a defensive bracelet and a soul fixing talisman: "The bracelet is a thank you gift from the Zhou family, which can release three protective shields to resist three attacks that are beyond the range of bearing. ”

"It's not very peaceful over there, and they can't get out of the city for the time being, so I'll send you a thank you gift. This soul fixing talisman is prepared by Tai Xuan Guan, and it is worn every day, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the soul, and can also improve the speed of entering the meditation and cultivation. ”

Xie Yinian accepted it all, and when he gave the things to Yao Rong, Xie Yinian also repeated what Zhou Tianshi said to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong opened the Xuanjie forum, and sure enough, there were several posts in it discussing Zhang Tianshi's affairs.

"These things are useless to me, you can take them."

Xie Yinian looked at the bracelet: "This bracelet looks so retro." ”

"This is an antique."

Xie Yinian was taken aback, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem unusual for this kind of Heavenly Master family, which had been inherited for thousands of years, to take out antique magic weapons casually: "Isn't this very expensive?" ”

"When you become a real Heavenly Master, you will know that the Heavenly Master makes a lot of money, but he also spends money very well."

Xie Yinian thought of the 200,000 yuan in his card, so he asked Yao Rong how he earned it.

Hearing Yao Rong say that she answered two questions and earned 200,000 yuan, Xie Yinian was dumbfounded, and then plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge.

Knowledge is priceless, and this is not a lie.

In the next few days, Xie Yinian stayed in the basement to read and study, and occasionally when he encountered something that he really couldn't figure out, Yao Rong would give him a pointer or two.

The little ghost in the crockpot was also slowly regaining his senses under the feeding of Yao Rong and Xie Yinian.

In a flash, the seven-day period passed, and the dean's birthday arrived.

Fractures are not so easy to recover, not to mention that the dean is getting older, and the recovery from injuries is even slower.

When Xie Yinian returned to the orphanage, he saw Zhu Zi and the dean sitting in the sun chatting.

He gave the fruit in his hand to the children, and then walked over: "The sun is so big, why don't you come into the house and talk?" ”

The pillar said, "Didn't the police tell me to spend more time in the sun." Dean, this is with me. ”

Xie Yinian asked him how he was feeling these days.

The pillar moved his shoulders: "I feel good, but I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I'm always sore." ”

Xie Yinian smiled, pulled over a small bench, sat on the other side of the dean, and chatted with the dean in a warm voice.

"What are you doing these days?"

"Is the work going well? Did you eat well? ”

Every time he came back, the dean would ask some repetitive questions, but Xie Yinian would answer patiently.

The afternoon breeze is lazy, with the mugtry heat of summer. A few children want to play with eagles to catch chickens and pull the pillars to be hens.

Two other children quarreled and pulled the dean to give them a review.

Xie Yinian watched this scene with a smile, and suddenly, he felt a light all around his body, and a warm current flowed from his fingertips into his heart, completing a whole cycle in his body.

He succeeded in inducing qi into his body.

Xie Yinian took out his mobile phone and shared the good news with Yao Rong: [I have successfully started! 】

Introducing qi into the body is just a first glimpse of the cultivation path.

Children born in the family of Heavenly Masters have basically completed this step before the age of six.

If Xie Yinian wants to catch up with their progress, he still needs to work hard.

However, at this time, Xie Yinian was not in a hurry to continue cultivating, but planned to rent a two-bedroom house again.

If he was alone, it didn't matter where he lived.

It's good to have a shelter from the elements.

But Ms. Yao can't be crammed into the basement with him all the time. Even if she doesn't need to sleep, she should have a private space.

After Yao Rong heard him talk about this, he said, "Let's rent a villa directly." The money was deducted from those 200,000 miles. ”

Looking at the expensive rent, Xie Yinian whispered: "Isn't it too extravagant and wasteful?" ”

Yao Rong glanced at him lightly, Xie Yinian silently thought in his heart, "It's not to spend his money, it's not to spend his money, he doesn't feel distressed", and paid the deposit and rent with a painful face.

This villa is not far from the basement, Xie Yinian went through the formalities, packed his luggage, and called the landlord, all kinds of soft grinding and hard bubbles, soft words, for the sake of him only living in less than ten days, the landlord returned four hundred and fifty yuan to him.

The joy on Xie Yinian's face could overflow.

By the time Xie Yinian cleaned the villa, it was already sunset outside.

The crockpot was placed in the living room, Xie Yinian took out the incense candle, and just as he lit it, a wisp of white smoke floated out of the earthen pot, turning into a three- or four-year-old boy with a delicate appearance.

The little boy's figure is very illusory, as if it can be dissipated by a gust of wind.

"Brother, brother."

Xie Yinian was not frightened, but was very happy: "You can show up." ”

Yao Rong walked down from the second floor, and the little boy looked at Yao Rong and showed a flattering smile: "Auntie." Hello Auntie. ”

Ordinary ghosts would be afraid of Yao Rong's momentum. But the little boy's ability to successfully manifest has something to do with Yao Rong feeding him yin qi every day. He sensed Yao Rong's breath and only felt very close.

Xie Yinian found the basin where the paper money was burned, and while burning the paper money for the little boy, he asked, "Do you remember your name?" ”

"Mom and Dad call me Xixi."

"Then what's your last name, what are the names of your parents, do you remember?"

A blank look flashed on Xixi's face, and he lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I don't remember a lot of things. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Xie Yinian comforted, "You have just appeared, and after a while, you will be able to remember more things." ”

Yao Rong took out his mobile phone and clicked on a photo: "Do you know the person above?" ”

Xie Yinian dropped the wooden stick in his hand and leaned over to look.

In the photo, there is a man and a woman.

The man was wearing a suit, the woman was wearing a tuxedo, and the two were holding hands, as if they were attending some kind of party.

Xi Xi learned Xie Yinian's movements, leaned over and took a look, his vague memory suddenly became clear, he was obviously sad, but he couldn't cry, he could only shout: "Mom and Dad!" It's Nozomi's dad and mom! ”

Xie Yinian looked at Yao Rong in surprise.

Yao Rong's expression was serious: "Then it seems that I didn't guess wrong." The person in the photo is Zhao Zhenghao, the richest man in H City, half a month ago, his only son was lost and has not been found until now. ”

Heeki's emotions were so agitated that his spirit became weaker and weaker.

Xie Yinian has been in the orphanage for so many years, and it can be said that practice makes perfect for comforting the child, and after appeasing Xixi, Xie Yinian asked him to go back to sleep in the crockpot first.

Xie Yinian and Yao Rong walked into the courtyard.

Xie Yinian discussed: "Now that we know the identity of Xixi's parents, do we want to ...... Send the child back? ”

The coldness on Yao Rong's face melted a little, and she said, "Of course." ”

"We carried the ashes with us, and it was inconvenient to take the high-speed train. I'll contact the driver over the pillar and charter a car to drive to H City tomorrow morning? ”

Yao Rong has no opinion on Xie Yinian's arrangement.

Xie Yinian thought for a while, and said: "The son of the richest man is lost, there must be a lot of news on the Internet, I'll go back and check it out to see if I can contact Xixi's parents in advance." ”

When the words fell, Xie Yinian hurriedly ran back to the house.

The last touch of the sun in the distance was engulfed in darkness, and the street lights outside the villa were all lit up, and Yao Rong was still standing in place.

If she guessed correctly, Xixi's loss is inseparable from the family infighting.

The child is three years old.

It is a few months older than when Xie Yinian was lost.

It was because she vaguely guessed Xixi's identity that she took the crockpot. But she was worried that she had guessed wrong, and after giving hope to Xixi's parents, she made them desperate, so she did not contact Xixi's parents as soon as she took the crockpot, but waited for Xixi to regain her senses.

Of course she's going to send Hei Hei home.

Just like she will take her children home in the future.

Xie Yinian called the pillar first.

The pillar is well-connected, and after listening to Xie Yinian's request, he patted his chest and agreed: "I'll call you back in half an hour." ”

Xie Yinian thanked him and began to search for news about the Zhao family in H City.

When he saw the news that "Mrs. Zhao suffered a car accident on the way to find her son and is still unconscious", Xie Yiqing sighed.

"The loss of a child is really a heavy blow to parents."

"And Hee-hee, this is no ordinary lost...... He fell into the hands of the Evil Heavenly Master at a young age, and I don't know if he suffered any torture during his lifetime......"

Xie Yinian hurriedly stopped, didn't dare to think about it, raised his spirit and continued to look down, and finally found the reward content and contact information in Zhao Zhenghao's personal Weibo.

H City, Hospital.

Zhao Zhenghao sat in front of his wife's hospital bed to handle official business.

Since the accident of his youngest son and wife, Zhao Zhenghao has almost lived in the hospital. Especially five days ago, he almost had an accident, and Zhao Zhenghao was directly admitted to this ward.

Staring at the computer for a long time, Zhao Zhenghao rubbed his temples with his fingertips, got up to wash his face, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and before he could answer, the secretary pushed the door in.

Zhao Zhenghao's face was a little bad, and just as he wanted to reprimand, he heard the secretary say: "Chairman, there may be news of the young master!" ”

"What did you say!" Zhao Zhenghao stood up abruptly, looking ecstatic.

Since Xixi's disappearance for three days, Zhao Zhenghao has lost confidence in finding the child, and is only holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

Sometimes, it is better for him to kidnap Xixi's people and threaten him to pay hundreds of millions of ransoms in exchange for his only son, than to have no news at all.

Zhao Zhenghao suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and asked repeatedly: "Where did the call come from, and what did the other party say?" ”

The secretary said: "It's from D city, and the other party said that he will bring his child to H city to see you tomorrow afternoon." ”

The other party actually wanted to come over in person, no wonder the secretary felt that it was highly credible.

Zhao Zhenghao asked again: "What else did the other party say?" ”

"The other party didn't say anything, just told me a WeChat account and asked me to relay it to you."

Zhao Zhenghao entered the WeChat account and sent the friend application over.

The process of waiting for the other party to approve the application is extremely difficult, and the time is stretched extremely long at this moment, like a knife hanging in the air that may fall at any time, and the final judgment will be held on him.

Actually, it didn't take long to wait.

In just a few seconds, the other party approved his application, and then the words "The other party is typing..." were displayed in the dialog box.

Zhao Zhenghao asked the secretary to go out first, he slumped in a chair, held his wife's hand, closed his eyes and prayed.

Finally, a text message came from there that took up the entire screen.

Zhao Zhenghao read it over and over again, struggling to understand the text that was not difficult to understand.

Soon, another voice came from there.

Zhao Zhenghao clicked on the voice again and again.

The crisp children's voices called "Dad" and "Mom" again and again, and Zhao Zhenghao burst into tears.

Obviously, only half a month has passed, and this familiar and intimate cry has been separated from life and death.

He held his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to the other party, and after several efforts, he finally restrained the trembling of his hands: [May I listen to the child's voice again?] Can I give you a call? 】

[Rice cake: I'm really sorry, he's weaker now]

Zhao Zhenghao hurriedly replied: [That's okay, let him rest well, let him rest well]

After a while, the other party sent another message: [My master asked you to be careful of your brother (that person calls you big brother)]

The sadness in Zhao Zhenghao's eyes turned into indifference, and he stared at that line of words, and his expression gradually turned into perseverance.

Putting down the phone, Xie Yinian's mood was also a little heavy.

"Do you want milk?" Yao Rong stood outside his door with a glass of milk.

Xie Yinian hurriedly invited her in and said to Yao Rong: "I don't know if it's right to tell Mr. Zhao so rashly." ”

Yao Rong said calmly: "This matter must always be told to him." ”

Also.

No matter how tactfully the text is edited, no matter how gently the words are whitewashed, the truth is so cruel.

Xie Yinian put these worries behind him, and got down to business first: "Mr. Zhao said that he has a partner in City D, and he wants to contact that partner and ask the partner to send someone to send us to City H overnight, what do you think?" ”

"Neither Hei nor I need to sleep, as long as you think it's okay, it's fine."

Xie Yinian breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll tell Mr. Zhao the address." I can understand his feelings, and I can catch up on the road anyway. "Besides, he's so young that he can survive even if he doesn't sleep all night.

"By the way, bring all these peachwood swords." Yao Rong reminded him.

This line is expected to have twists and turns.

Half an hour later, Xie Yinian held a crockpot in one hand and a suitcase in the other, and sat in a car with Yao Rong.

Before dawn, the car arrived at the H City People's Hospital.

Taking the elevator straight to the ward, Xie Yinian and Yao Rong met Zhao Zhenghao, who had not slept all night.

Zhao Zhenghao's eyes were tightly glued to the crockpot, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it.

Zhao Xi's figure appeared in mid-air.

"Hee-hee!"

"Daddy!"

Zhao Xi, as before, rushed towards Zhao Zhenghao, but his body completely passed through Zhao Zhenghao's arm.

"Mom!"

Zhao Xi looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed silently, and tried to touch it, but she couldn't touch it either.

He froze in place, looked at himself, and then at Zhao Zhenghao, as if he finally realized that something was wrong.

Yao Rong sighed lightly, pinched the trick with his fingertips, and a stream of yin qi continued to fall into Zhao Xi's body.

Zhao Xi's body slowly solidified, if it weren't for the fact that his little face was too white, it would be almost exactly the same as in Zhao Zhenghao's memory.

Zhao Xi sighed, tapped Zhao Zhenghao's arm with his chubby fingertips, and smiled: "I touched my father again." Daddy, Daddy, I miss you so much, I think about you and Mom every day, but I've been locked in a small black jar, and I can't come out to find you. ”

Zhao Zhenghao's eyes were sour, and he hugged Zhao Xi tightly.

When the father and son embraced each other, a chill that penetrated deep into the soul spread from Zhao Xi's body to Zhao Zhenghao's body.

Zhao Zhenghao hugged Zhao Xi harder and harder: "Xixi, Dad and Mom have been thinking about you all the time." ”

Zhao Xi got out of Zhao Zhenghao's arms and looked at his mother on the hospital bed: "Is my mother sick?" ”

"Yes, Mom misses you so much, that's why she gets sick. You're back, and she's going to get better soon. ”

Zhao Zhenghao touched Zhao Xi's head, and turned to look at Yao Rong and Xie Yinian.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yao Rong understood: "I know that Mr. Zhao misses Xixi very much, you can be alone with Xixi for a while first, and when your emotions calm down, it's not too late for us to talk about anything else." ”

Yao Rong and Xie Yinian walked out of the ward and sat on a bench in the hospital corridor. Zhao Zhenghao's secretary poured a cup of tea for the two, and Yao Rong waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need it.

She asked the secretary: "Mrs. Zhao has been in a coma for so long and has never woken up?" ”

The secretary shook his head: "Not all the time." ”

Yao Rong thought for a while, and then asked, "Then these days, have you Zhao Dong encountered any danger?" ”

The secretary said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes." A few days ago, when we Zhao Dong returned to the hospital from the company, he was almost hit in the head by a flower pot that fell from upstairs. ”

Yao Rong knew it in his heart.

Zhao Zhenghao didn't let Yao Rong and Xie Yinian wait for a long time, and in less than ten minutes, he opened the door of the ward and invited Yao Rong and Xie Yinian to come in.

"Thank you both, send the child home."

Anyway......

It doesn't matter if it's life or death......

At least, his child, in the end, returned to him, and would not die alone in a corner that no one knew. ：，，
