Guo Zhen carried the lantern monster and could feel the joy of the lantern monster.

After a few moments, he took the lantern monster painting out of the statue of the mountain god.

Then he carried the lantern monster and walked down the mountain.

The lantern monster spirit painting has stored so much incense power that can be cultivated for a wave.

When he arrived at the old mansion, he found that Ding Xiaopeng had just come back from outside.

"Master!" Ding Xiaopeng saw Guo Zhen and immediately ran forward respectfully to say hello.

Guo Zhen asked suspiciously, "It's past the early hours of the morning without resting, and you're still walking outside?"

Ding Xiaopeng said embarrassedly, "That, Officer Chen asked me to accompany her shopping, I thought it was just a walk, who knew that she had been pulling me to go shopping until the early hours of the morning without saying anything back." ”

"She was sleepy just now, so I carried her back to the dormitory and handed her over to a female police officer. ”

Guo Zhen nodded and said, "You did the right thing, it is easy for a girl to be in danger outside so late, and a man must have a gentlemanly demeanor to send her back safely." ”

"When a senior sister insisted on drinking with me and getting drunk, I also handed her over to her dormitory girlfriend and sent her back to the dormitory safely. ”

After receiving the master's praise, Ding Xiaopeng was obviously very happy.

Then.

Ding Xiaopeng noticed the lantern monster in Guo Zhen's hand, and said suspiciously, "Master, what are you doing with the lantern?" Now even the mountain road has street lights, and this lantern is useless at all!"

Hearing Ding Xiaopeng's words, Guo Zhen suddenly found that the lantern monster in his hand was a little restless, conveying a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Then, he felt a fluctuation of energy appear on the lantern monster.

And Ding Xiaopeng, who was opposite him, seemed to be a little confused in his eyes.

Guo Zhen was stunned.

This lantern monster has so much higher intelligence?

Because Ding Xiaopeng said that it was useless, it was angry and wanted to make Ding Xiaopeng look good?

However, the corners of Guo Zhen's mouth also showed a wicked smile.

Since Ding Xiaopeng, this simple apprentice, has provoked the lantern monster.

He simply used this humble apprentice to test the lantern monster's new ability to carry hallucinations.

Guo Zhen immediately put his hand on the lantern monster and passed on an idea.

Then, an inexplicable look suddenly appeared on Ding Xiaopeng's face.

Because, he casually glanced at the door, and saw a woman dressed in red.

"Master, there is a woman in red clothes outside the door!" Ding Xiaopeng said subconsciously.

"Where are women, you can see clearly. Guo Zhen smiled.

It seems to have worked.

Ding Xiaopeng was stunned, and when he looked at it again, it was empty, and there was nothing.

This made him touch his head, misunderstood?

But he looked up, glanced casually, and saw the woman in red again.

Rubbed his eyes.

He found the woman disappear again.

Ding Xiaopeng inexplicably felt a layer of cold air rising on his back.

This is the hallucination that Guo Zhen let the lantern monster build for Ding Xiaopeng, as long as he casually glances at the door, he can see a beautiful woman in red.

After the lantern monster performed a portable illusion on Ding Xiaopeng, it also conveyed a kind of excitement to Guo Zhen.

However, after the lantern monster was cast, Ding Xiaopeng covered his forehead, "Why do you suddenly feel a little dizzy." ”

This is the sequelae of hitting the lantern monster, and ordinary people will get seriously ill directly.

Although Ding Xiaopeng has cultivated some true qi, he is still inevitably affected.

After all, the lantern monster is lv3, and it's even more powerful than before.

Guo Zhen also took out a marching pill and gave it to Ding Xiaopeng and said, "Look at you are sick, just take this medicine!"

After all, he is his own apprentice, just experiment with him, there is no need to really make him sick.

Ding Xiaopeng didn't hesitate, he took the marching pill, and under the power of the medicine, some discomfort disappeared.

"Go to bed early, wander outside at night, don't really get entangled in some girl in red. Guo Zhen suddenly reminded Ding Xiaopeng with a hint of banter, and then walked towards the room with the lantern monster.

Ding Xiaopeng heard his master's words, but he felt a little hairy on his back, and then glanced at the door inadvertently.

The beautiful woman in red reappeared.

But as soon as he concentrated, the beauty disappeared again.

Ding Xiaopeng only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and he immediately wanted to use the sword guard technique, but only then did he remember that he was not a master, so he could control a hair.

Thinking about it, he hurried towards the room.

...

Guo Zhen returned to the room and let go of the lantern monster and let it float on its own.

Meow!~

The little flower screamed, and it scurried to the lantern monster.

The lantern monster also circled around the little flower.

Xiaohua also turned her head with the lantern monster, as if two friends had met again and celebrated happily.

Guo Zhen looked at the lantern monster icon in his mind.

Store the power of incense 10275.

Already 300 less.

The portable illusion that the lantern monster cast on Ding Xiaopeng just now was just a very simple illusion, and it only cost 300 incense power.

I just don't know how long this will last.

At this time.

Ding Xiaopeng had already returned to the room, habitually returned to the sofa where he slept, and squeezed Xiao Hei to the other end.

He is still used to being with a few animal brothers.

Woof!~

Xiao Hei was woken up in a daze, and called out to Ding Xiaopeng dissatisfiedly.

Ding Xiaopeng subconsciously skimmed towards the door, and saw a beautiful woman in red leaning against the door.

Guo Zhen let the lantern monster cast an illusion on Ding Xiaopeng, which can be triggered as long as it is a door.

"Why are you still following up?" Ding Xiaopeng's face was full of bitterness, and he subconsciously squeezed towards Xiao Hei, swallowed his saliva, and hugged Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei was woken up again, and when he saw that he was being held by Ding Xiaopeng, he subconsciously kicked Ding Xiaopeng's face with his hind paws, pushed him away, and then jumped off the sofa.

Xiao Hei ran to the side and leaned against the big white goose, looking at Ding Xiaopeng defensively, his eyes were a little wrong.

Second floor.

Guo Zhen had already sat down cross-legged and began to operate his mental method, using the power of the incense stored in the Lantern Monster Spirit Painting to assist in his cultivation.

Suddenly, the aura around him frantically converged around him, and it was extremely rich.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, there was a knock outside Guo Zhen's door, "Master, open the door quickly......"

Open the door.

Ding Xiaopeng appeared outside the door with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

He didn't sleep all night looking like that.

Ding Xiaopeng looked behind him and hurriedly entered the room.

Guo Zhen knew the reason when he saw this, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong with your haggard appearance?"

Ding Xiaopeng said anxiously, "Master, didn't I tell you yesterday that I saw a woman in red at the door, I was not mistaken, I was really entangled by a woman in red as you said." ”

"Last night, I could see her at the door at a glance, but she was gone, and now she doesn't dare to follow me when I enter the master's room. ”

"Master, what should I do now? Why don't you tell her and ask her not to follow me, you can't take her in!"

Guo Zhen also understood when he heard Ding Xiaopeng's words.

It's not that the female ghost doesn't dare to enter his room.

It's the hallucinations that have disappeared.

In other words, the power of 300 incense to construct this simple illusion can last for a night.

But looking at Ding Xiaopeng's appearance, Guo Zhen asked jokingly, "Then I'll talk to her, and ask her why she followed you?"

Ding Xiaopeng hurriedly nodded and said, "Master, please." ”

Guo Zhen smiled, also pretended to walk out, and said into the air, "Anyway, why are you following my apprentice?"

Then after a while, he came in pretending to come in again, and said to Ding Xiaopeng, "You are a fool with peach blossom luck, and that female ghost said that she has taken a fancy to you." ”

"Ahh ”

Guo Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Ding Xiaopeng's panicked appearance.

However, he still pretended, and after a while, he said to Ding Xiaopeng, "Okay, that female ghost already knows, and she won't pester you anymore." ”

Ding Xiaopeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

However, he also waited for a long time before tiptoeing out of Guo Zhen's room again.

When he went downstairs, he was completely relieved to find that there was nothing abnormal.

After a while, Guo Zhen also went downstairs to eat something, and then returned to his room to continue his cultivation using the Lantern Monster Spirit Painting.

Last night, it took more than 2,000 incense power to paint lantern monsters in one night.

Until the afternoon.

Guo Zhen was cultivating, but he suddenly got a prompt sound from the system in his mind

"Ding! If you find someone with qualified talents, you can test ......!"

Hearing the system prompt, Guo Zhen took out the Xianmen Order as soon as possible.

He only received two apprentices for this immortal order task, and there are still 3 missing.

Now there's another one.

As soon as the Xianmen Order was taken out, there was an immediate induction.

Not far away, walking towards the town.

Guo Zhen immediately left the old mansion and went to the small city.

When he saw a young figure, he showed a look of astonishment.

It was a cute little girl.

10-something-old appearance.

A dirty school uniform.

Disgraced.

Carrying a Lou basket on his back, he staggered towards the small town.

Guo Zhen frowned slightly.

In modern society, girls of this age are treasures in the palms of their parents, and they are afraid of melting in the palms of their hands.

Moreover, the school should still be in session at this time.

He didn't understand why the little girl looked like this.

When I entered the town, I saw the little girl leaning against a street wall and putting down Lou Basket, and then squatting timidly behind Lou Basket.

The basket was full of walnuts, all of which seemed to have been freshly picked, and some of them had not yet been cracked open.

The little girl looked at the tourists walking by with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

And watching the tourists walk away, the eyes turned into disappointment.

She was expecting someone to buy her walnuts.

A tourist found the little girl, and seemed to want to buy her walnuts out of sympathy, but was immediately pulled away by her companions.

"Be careful..."

"That's right, now many people in the scenic area use little girls to sell flowers or other things......"

"How can any child be so dirty now, it's all people with ulterior motives......"

Tourists were pulled away.

It's not that people in this society don't have compassion, but they don't dare to give it away, for fear that something will happen that hurts them.

The little girl was a little uncomfortable when she heard the words of the tourists, and her eyes were slightly red and her little head was lowered.

For half a day, no one paid attention to the little girl.

The little girl would look at the pancake stall not far away from time to time, and watch some children being taken by their parents to buy pancakes to eat, she showed a hint of envy, and then she would look down at the ground with a lonely face.

That pitiful appearance made Guo Zhen feel inexplicably uncomfortable, and walked towards the little girl.

This little girl may be her next apprentice, and she must find out about the situation.

When the little girl saw Guo Zhen, she seemed to have the courage to ask, "Brother, do you buy walnuts?"

Guo Zhen smiled and said, "Well, my brother likes to eat walnuts, and you want these brothers." ”

The little girl couldn't help but be excited, "It's true...... Really?"

Guo Zhen said, "It's true, how much is your walnut?"

The little girl said timidly, "Grandma said it could be sold for 50 yuan." ”

50 yuan in change, Guo Zhen really doesn't have it.

"Little sister, wait a minute!" Guo Zhen said as he walked towards the pancake stand.

The owner of the pancake stall was a middle-aged man, who obviously recognized Guo Zhen, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, do you want to eat pancakes?" ”

Guo Zhen smiled and said, "Boss, get me two pancakes, exchange me 50 yuan in change, and I will scan your phone to you." ”

"Okay, Mr. Guo, wait a minute. The owner of the pancake stall immediately said with a smile.

A moment later.

Guo Zhen returned to the little girl with two pancakes and 50 yuan, "Come, this is my brother's money to buy walnuts, and my brother invites you to eat pancakes." ”

The little girl took the money with a happy face and solemnly put it away.

But looking at the pancakes, she hesitated and didn't take them.

See here.

Guo Zhen smiled and said, "Brother doesn't have anything to put walnuts in, my brother invites you to eat pancakes, and your Lou basket borrows your brother to send the walnuts back, okay?"

The little girl nodded hesitantly and took the pancake.

Guo Zhen had already brought up the basket of walnuts.

The little girl hurriedly followed him, one hand still holding the strap of Lou's basket.

As if he was afraid that he would run away with Lou Basket.

As she walked, the little girl seemed to be unable to resist the taste of the pancakes, and took a small bite of the pancakes in her other hand.

But they are all cautious, and they seem to be reluctant to eat.

Guo Zhen also took the opportunity to inquire about the situation with the little girl, "Little sister, why are you selling walnuts by yourself?

When the little girl heard this question, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did she say softly and weakly, "Dad...... Father...... Hit by a car and gone...... Mom left with her luggage......"

Guo Zhen frowned.

These two are clearly not the same thing.

Probably my dad was hit by a car and died, and my mom didn't want a drag bottle to leave, and she didn't want her anymore.

Guo Zhen carried Lou basket to the old monk's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

The old monk was not there, and when Li Shuci saw Guo Zhen coming in, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Master!"

Guo Zhen said to her, "You pour all the walnuts away and return the Lou basket." ”

Li Shuci nodded, poured down the walnut, and took out the Lou basket.

Guo Zhen took the basket and handed it to the little girl, and asked again, "Little sister, where is your home?"

"In Kengtou Village. The little girl also seemed to let down her guard against Guo Zhen, "Grandma said that walnuts can be sold here, and I want to go to school." ”

Guo Zhen was very worried when he heard this, and said, "Little sister, the sun is going down, it's not safe for you to go back alone, is it okay for my brother to send you home?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded "Okay, thank you, brother!"

Maybe she felt Guo Zhen's kindness to her.

And she hadn't felt this kindness that made her feel warm for a long time.

With the consent of the little girl, Guo Zhen asked his father to get the car keys, and then drove the little girl to Kengtou Village.

Kengtou Village is a neighboring village of Shangzhai Village, not far away.

But this is not far away, and it is also relatively talented.

On the road.

Guo Zhen also knew the name of the little girl, Li Susu, 10 years old, in the third grade.

There is a grandmother, two uncles.

This made Guo Zhen puzzled.

If she and her grandmother are dependent on each other, she will say this in the past.

But there are also two uncles, so they don't even have books to read.

After all, according to what Li Susu said, her father was hit by a car and died, so there should be compensation.

Moreover, in the case of a father like Li Susu, whose father dies and his mother leaves, the state will issue a minimum education fund.

You can also apply for an orphan certificate, and there will be a special subsidy of 400 yuan per month for the orphan assistance center.

In addition, in wealthy areas, there is a subsistence allowance of about 190,000 yuan for orphans every year.

Even in the Wanghai area, there are 140,000 orphans living on subsistence allowance every year.

Kengtou Village is considered to be a relatively poor village in these ten miles and eight townships.

Entering the village, Guo Zhen didn't even see a few renovated houses, most of which were still old houses.

The car stopped in an old house.

Li Susu walked in with Guo Zhen.

The old room was messy, dark and damp, but in the hall I saw a young black and white photo.

Inside, I saw an old woman with bandages on her hands cooking, and she looked like she was feeding pigs.

"Grandma!" Li Susu called out to the old woman.

"Susu is back. The old woman answered, then saw Guo Zhen, and said in surprise, "Sir, are you?"

Guo Zhen immediately explained, "Grandma, my name is Guo Zhen, I am from Shangzhai Village, I met Su Su and sent her back. ”

"You...... Are you Guo Zhen?" the old woman reacted and hurriedly moved the chair, "Mr. Guo, you sit, thank you for sending Su Su back." ”

Guo Zhen asked in surprise, "Grandma Susu, do you know me?"

Grandma Su Su hurriedly said, "Between the neighboring villages, who doesn't know, oh, oh, Mr. Guo, now everyone goes to Shangzhai Village to catch the market, everyone envies Shangzhai Village for people like Mr. Guo, who took the whole village to get rich." ”

Saying that, Grandma Su Su said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Guo, that one is a little embarrassed, the family is poor, we only have this paste for dinner, and if you send Su Su back, I can't entertain you." ”

These words made Guo Zhen frown.

Is that stuff in the pot dinner? Not for pigs?

Guo Zhen sighed and said to Li Susu, "Susu, can you go out and help my brother get something?"

"Okay, brother. Li Susu nodded.

Back in the car, Guo Zhen opened the trunk.

There are all kinds of fruits in it, as well as meat, vegetables, dumplings, shrimp.

These are put in when driving to prevent this from happening.

"Ah...... There is a lot to eat......" Li Susu looked at the contents of the trunk and opened his mouth wide in shock.

Obviously, there are so many things in front of her, she shouldn't have seen them for a long time.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you help? My brother will make you something to eat at night. Guo Zhen hurriedly handed the dumplings in his hand to Li Susu

Li Susu took it with anticipation and disbelief.

Seeing Guo Zhen come in with a large bag of things, Grandma Su Su also said anxiously, "Mr. Guo, why did you bring so many things?"

"I have a fate with Su Su, and I made her a delicious meal today. Guo Zhen smiled and said.

His cooking skills are not very good, but he has also learned some from his father and grandfather, and it is not difficult to cook.

And Li Susu has been looking at Guo Zhen blankly from behind.

She seemed to remember something, and her eyes were a little red.

In the past, when Dad was there, Dad would cook for her at this time.

Soon.

Guo Zhen sat down on a table of food, and then sat down with Li Susu and Grandma Susu.

Li Susu hadn't seen such a sumptuous dinner for a long time, and tears condensed in her red eyes.

"Susu, why are you crying, eat quickly!" Guo Zhen immediately reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes.

Who knows, the little girl couldn't control her emotions and threw herself into his arms.

Guo Zhen didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to ask Grandma Susu, "Grandma Susu, I heard Su Su say that her father was hit by a car, and there should be compensation, right?"

"Moreover, she should be able to receive nearly 20,000 orphan subsidies now, why didn't she go to school?"

Hearing this, Grandma Su Su was obviously stunned, and looked at Li Susu with a look of guilt in her eyes.

But as if it was hard to say, she didn't intend to answer the question.

At this moment, a woman walked in from the outside and said in surprise, "Yo, Mom, what is so rich?

Grandma Su Su seemed to be a little afraid of this woman, "Su Su, her aunt, this is Mr. Guo, today Su Su went out to sell walnuts, he sent Su Su back, and he also brought the dishes from this table." ”

"The little girl really met a good person. The woman said with a smile, and did not forget to greet Guo Zhen, "Mr. Guo, hello!"

But when she spoke, she picked up the dumplings and the bowl of fish on the table with both hands at the same time, and said with a smile, "Mom, you can't eat so many dishes, this is for your grandson, in addition, thank you Mr. Guo." ”

This scene made Guo Zhen frown.

But the woman walked out the door with her things in her hand.

In someone else's house, Guo Zhen thought about it and forgot it, but asked Grandma Su Su tentatively, "Grandma Susu, I have a fate with Su Su, I want to accept her as an apprentice? ”

"Anyway, Shangzhai Village is also very close to Kengtou Village, she can come back to see you at any time, if you are not at ease, we can go to the government to issue a certificate." ”

Li Susu, who was in Guo Zhen's arms, subconsciously raised his head, looked at him with straight eyes, and grabbed his clothes tightly with his small hands.

But hearing this, Grandma Su Su was obviously stunned, and then immediately panicked, "This...... This ......"

This reaction made Guo Zhen frown.

It stands to reason that this is the situation in the other party's family, and if he makes this kind of request, the other party will largely agree, but Grandma Su Su's reaction is obviously a little wrong.

At this time, the woman who had just gone out with dumplings and fish outside seemed to hear this, and subconsciously stopped, and then she left in a hurry.

I went back to a house next to me.

When I saw the woman come in, a man inside was surprised and said, "Wife, where did you get the fish and dumplings, you have a mouthful." ”

The woman hurriedly said, "Li Daqiang, you still want to eat, there is a young man from my mother's place, and it seems that he wants to adopt Li Susu." ”

Hearing this, Li Daqiang was anxious, "How can this be? Before that woman left, in order to let us raise Li Susu, she made the eldest brother's 1 million compensation into fund management, and we could only receive it on time every month, how much did we receive?"

"There is also a subsidy of nearly 20,000 yuan for Li Susu's orphans every year, Li Susu was adopted, what should I do with this money?"

The woman snorted, "I'm still thinking about money, I'm afraid that my mother will agree." ”

"She's just now!" Li Daqiang snorted, "Does he still want us to retire and send us to the end of our old age?" If you want to, it's better to get acquainted, no, go and inform the third brother Dasheng to call him, this guy must be driven away." ”

The woman nodded, and immediately went out, and in a moment another man came in.

When Li Dasheng came in, he said to Li Daqiang, "Big brother, how could someone suddenly come to adopt Li Susu?"

Li Daqiang snorted, "No matter who he is, drive him away." ”

With that, the two brothers walked outside with sticks, and then rushed to Li Susu's house.

Guo Zhen looked at the two men with sticks and wrinkled.

Li Susu was obviously afraid of these two uncles, and the little hand subconsciously grabbed Guo Zhen.

Li Daqiang and Li Dasheng have also seen Guo Zhen and know that this is the main one.

"Boy, come to us to kidnap the child, and want to die. Li Daqiang directly knocked on the ground with a stick.

Li Dasheng too, looked at Guo Zhen viciously, "You don't have to say anything about abducting children like you and killing you." ”

They gave Guo Zhen the identity of a kidnapper.

In this way, the other party really doesn't know each other, and they also have an excuse to be ruthless.
