According to Gu Chang, Lao Laizi was an orphan since he was a child. The time was not good at that time, and there were many children like Lao Laizi. In order to survive, he became a disciple of a passing monster hunter.
Because he had left his hometown, the old cripple didn't know where his hometown was. The older generation had the habit of returning to their roots after falling leaves, so the old cripple chose this Dashan'o Village as his burial place.
The temperature in the mountains is low, especially in the mountains in the southwest.
Dashan'ao Village is located deep in the mountains. Few people come here. The villagers all speak with a strong local accent. Generations of people here have relied on the mountains to live. Even though electricity was provided in the early years, they still follow the old living habits.
Usually villages like this are very exclusive, but fortunately, Gu Chang still has good "prestige" in the village. When Tan Zhao went out to collect firewood alone, he found that the villagers looked at him with eyes full of fear and fear. Well, so
From what he knew about Gu Chang, this guy must have done something to scare the villagers.
So with the idea of "friendship and harmony" in mind, Tan Zhao used the newly learned local greeting dialect to greet the villagers who were looking at him from a distance, and then...successfully scared them all away.
After carrying the firewood back, Tan showed his great achievements to his younger brother, and said very innocently that he just shouted.
Gu Chang:...You are really naive.jpg.
But this expression was input into the mobile phone and turned into text and voice, and it turned into this: "It's okay, they are too timid."
Tan was instantly happy.
This house was left to Gu Chang after the death of the old lame man. Due to some "historical reasons", the villagers did not dare to take advantage of this house. However, the old house was in disrepair and there were no wires. As soon as it got dark,
The room was surprisingly dark.
Although Gu Chang didn't say it, Tan Zhao understood that this old house carried too many memories of the other party.
The night in the mountains was quiet, and there was still a musty smell on the tip of his nose, but Tan Zhao slept well. When it was dawn, he was picked up by Gu Chang and went up the mountain to sweep the tomb. When he climbed to the tombstone of the old cripple on the mountain, it was already bright.
Monster hunters have always been hated by demons. Many demons in this world are paranoid and narrow-minded, and they hate monster hunters extremely. Therefore, after the death of monster hunters, they usually do not set up tombstones to prevent the monsters from occupying the cemetery.
The same is true for the old lame man's tomb. The nameless tombstone is only accompanied by green hills, so it's not too lonely.
Tan Zhao took advantage of Gu Chang to pay homage to the old lame man and walked around. The feng shui was relatively good. He also changed the layout a little, so that at least if someone accidentally entered here in the future, they would not disturb the old lame man's sleep.
"So fast?"
Gu Chang smiled. He left here with paranoia and hatred, but he didn't expect that he could return to the mountain calmly. Not only that, he also brought Tan Zhao back. The old cripple didn't expect much from him.
Gao, I should be very happy to see him come back alive.
As for the rest, let’s talk about it later.
"Don't be slow. I will come here once a year from now on. If you talk too much, the old cripple will get bored."
Tan Zhao thought about it and said yes, so he stopped mentioning it.
Going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain, but the mountains in the southwest are full of mountains and there are many steep peaks here, so going up and down cannot be said to be easy. However, Gu Chang is very familiar with the road here, but he just wanted to take care of Tan Zhao's health.
That's why I walked slower.
"How about I give you extra lessons when you get back this time?"
Gu Chang exposed the other party very rudely: "Primary school students help junior high school students make up lessons?"
Tan was very unconvinced and immediately retorted: "I remember you seemed to have dropped out of junior high school."
...So, do we have to prove that they are elementary school chicken brothers?
Gu Chang laughed, but his walking pace was still very slow. He didn't spend much time with Tan Zhao, and he even didn't understand a lot about this brother, such as where the other person's abilities came from, and the weird hands.
The art of dispensing medicine, but probably because they are really connected by blood, he will subconsciously trust the other person.
But to be fair, even if they are just ordinary people with no blood relationship, he might feel that the other person is a very reliable and trustworthy person. This is an indescribable feeling, maybe it is because some people are born with a convincing aura.
field.
However, just when Gu Chang lost his smile, a figure suddenly ran towards him from the opposite direction. The road in the mountain was steep, and this side was even steeper. People were walking along it, and only one person was allowed to walk alone.
Gu Chang could indeed hide, but Tan Zhao behind him was physically weak. This posture was not slow but fast. Gu Chang's body subconsciously leaned forward. Because he could not speak, he was already ready to push the person down.
However, at the next moment, an accident happened.
The man actually held the mountain splitter in his hand and swung it directly at the narrow road. Almost in the blink of an eye, the rocks cracked open and the road under his feet disappeared instantly. He subconsciously tried to pull on the mountain wall, but he couldn't catch anything.
The speed of his body falling was much faster than he imagined. Death was so close to him, but Gu Chang was eagerly looking for the figure of another person: It would be great if he didn't bring Tan Zhao back this time.
As expected, he is incompatible with Southwest Dashan.
And what is Tan Zhao doing at this time?
Just now, Cheng Bi from the opposite side ran over with crazy hatred. Compared with the exquisite girl she met in Luo City, Cheng Bi at this moment was completely less glamorous than before. She waved her hand with utter hatred.
Mountain Ax: "Gu Chang, I want to die with you!"
The mountain ax rang out in response, sending the three of them flying into the deep valley.
But how can I put it, with his ability, even if he falls thousands of miles from a high altitude, even if he doesn't have much spiritual power, it will not be a problem to save the lives of three people.
He didn't catch Gu Chang in time for one reason - the system suddenly went online.
"Beep - the signal is connecting, the system is connected, hello host, the 'Conquering Terminal Illness System' will be at your service soon. Is the host bound to the system?"
"If not, the host can get back all the power stored in this system, but in exchange, the system will destroy all the memories in the host contract, and the host can live his whole life in the native world."
"If it is confirmed that the binding will continue, within three minutes, the host will complete the process of leaving this world. The host can also get back all its power (without erasing the memory), save Gu Chang, and make Cheng Bi pay for his crimes."
"The countdown has begun, please respond to the host. If the host does not give any reply during the countdown, the system will automatically and permanently unbind. Please respond as soon as possible!"
[...Three minutes, Ah Tong, I didn’t know you were so fast?]
System: ...The host please handle it seriously and do not attack the system randomly to avoid unnecessary bugs. Thank you for your cooperation.
[I haven’t seen you for so long. With your chatty nature, are you frustrated?]
The system starts counting seconds without any distractions.
Is it the native world with family members? Or is it continuing the previous journey with the system?
Need to reply in three minutes? Tan Zhao can't do it.
[What if I don’t choose either?]
System: It will be regarded as automatically giving up, and the process will proceed according to the 'No' answer.
[You really want me to stay?]
The system is silent.
However, the next moment, the system was so angry that it wanted to curse.
[A Tong, have you forgotten that you can do so because I allowed you to ban my power. In fact, with my complete power, you cannot erase my memory regardless of whether I answer or not.]
System: Host, this is a foul! Can't you just follow the process? Will you die if you make me happy?
Tan Zhao snapped his fingers:
[No, but Gu Chang can.]
The sound of snapping fingers sounded, and the space that was originally locked by the system instantly restored time. Tan Zhao controlled his body and pointed directly on the mountain wall, heading straight towards Gu Chang, who was falling rapidly.
The moment he caught Gu Chang, he stood directly in the air.
As for Cheng Bi, who also fell, this one was indeed fully prepared and actually hung on the steep mountain wall by relying on the iron rope hanging from his waist.
Tan Zhao patted Gu Chang's face, which was stiffened by the mountain wind, and the other person's dull eyes became brighter, and then...he was shocked?
He opened his mouth, but still no sound came out, but Tan Zhao understood what the other party meant.
"Well, there was a little accident. If you want to know, I'll explain it to you when I get back." Tan Zhao took Gu Chang and flew to Cheng Bi who was climbing. His voice was completely cold: "Miss Cheng, what's wrong with me?"
See you there, do you need any help?"
Cheng Bi:!!!!!!
The terrifying scream of "Ah——" spread throughout the entire col.
It took some time to send Cheng Bi to the police station. Because of the system's return, Tan Zhao pretended that he had a GoPro on him and recorded the scene of the other party's murder. Then he ignored the escape and called the lawyer.
Follow Gu Chang back to the hotel where he stayed in the city.
By this time, it was already late at night.
Gu Chang had some wounds on his body. After a simple bandage, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Tan Zhao was also covered in gray, so he simply sat on the balcony, looking at the huge moon in the sky and talking to the system.
System: ...Oh, I thought you had a new love and forgot about me~
[I still remember what happened during the day.]
System: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, if you cross the line and cause trouble like this, you will be fined when you go to my hometown.
[…Then I’m miserable. I’m penniless. As an old friend who has been with me for several years, don’t you consider redeeming my life?]
System: Give up, I will watch you sell yourself to pay off your debts :).
[How much time do I have left to gain?]
System: no more, no less, a full sixty years, maybe more if you take the time to exercise some restraint.
[I think I have been very restrained recently.]
System:...I just smiled and said nothing.jpg.
[I remember there is a hearing system in the system mall, right? Can you modify it and give it to Gu Chang?]
System: Of course, the hearing restoration package will last for twenty years. If it is equipped with time and space flight technology, it will take an additional twenty years and a friendly price modification fee of five years. Host, are you sure you need to buy it?
[Buy it.]
System: Twenty years is the time you get in two or three worlds. Are you really sure? Friendly reminder, the common currency unit in my hometown is time. Please take it seriously, host.
[Buy it, in the worst case we can continue to make money.]
The system really liked hearing this, and as expected, the sound of "ding-dong deduction" sounded, and Tan Zhao only had fifteen years left in the balance interface.
[System, I remember you once said that as much time as I gain, I can live as long as I can back in my own world, right?]
The system no longer wants to talk.
Just then, Gu Chang also came out of the shower. He looked around and saw Tan Zhao sitting on the balcony holding a shiny ball in his hand.
"You came just in time. Here, I will give you a gift. Do you like it?"
What? Gu Chang subconsciously took it, and as soon as he took it, the shiny thing disappeared directly in his palm. The next moment, a voice actually sounded in his mind:
"Dip - the hearing recovery system is about to serve you. This system is presented to you free of charge by Mr. Tan Zhao. The host Gu Chang has hearing loss... Please confirm the binding as soon as possible!"
“!!!!!!”
Gu Chang suddenly looked at the man sitting on the balcony, but the man nodded slightly towards him, but Gu Chang was too shocked to make any reaction.
When Tan Zhao came out of the shower and pushed him, Gu Changzai suddenly turned his head.
He found his mobile phone and punched the screen: "Brother, what have you done!"
"Gift, do you like it?"
...This is true. Gu Chang lay on the sofa with his face covered. When Tan Zhao woke up the next morning, he opened his phone and saw two words popping up on it.
--like.
**
Everything is developing in a good direction, and one day in the future, Tan Zhao will leave the world where he was born without any regrets and go to the hometown where the system was born.
After that, he may use his strength to meet his former close friends, or he may embark on a different journey with the system to see more different scenery.
