"The town is like a ghost, and the Qi is used to unite evil spirits! The wind is coming!"
On a small slope outside the village, Qian Xiaodong was mumbling words and posing in a decent manner. His fingers and middle fingers were tightly together, as if he was guiding some unknown force.
However, after a while, nothing happened around him.
'That's weird... I obviously did what the book said.'
Crouching down in confusion, Qian Xiaodong looked at the word "羾" written on the ground with branches, and was lost in thought.
When the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, Qian Xiaodong returned home with a disappointed look on his face. However, when he was about to go to bed, he discovered that there was an extra book in the basket he was carrying, with four large characters on it.
'I do not recognize.'
Qian Xiaodong has never been to school, and his grandfather and grandmother are both illiterate. Although he went to school to learn for a while in order to survive, those words were only enough to write some miserable words, and he could not understand them.
There are so many characters with this kind of strokes.
Although he couldn't understand it, Qian Xiaodong still tried to open the book, and the moment he opened the book, several birds made of paper flew out.
In Qian Xiaodong's extremely surprised eyes, the paper birds flew around him in a circle, and then dispersed to every corner. At the same time, the book in his hand bloomed with brilliant light.
When Qian Xiaodong gradually got used to the dazzling light and looked at the book again, he was shocked to find that he could actually read the words on the book.
'This... what kind of Taoism is this!?'
Although Qian Xiaodong guessed that the Taoist priest was an expert, he did not expect that he would reach such a high level. This is definitely something that only those practitioners can do.
After bowing three times to the sky, Qian Xiaodong looked at the cover of the book again. This time, he recognized these four characters.
"The Legacy of Thousand Seas"
Nodding in understanding, Qian Xiaodong turned to the first page and began to study it carefully.
At first, Qian Xiaodong found that the book was full of strange ghostly drawings, but when he looked inside, he realized that it was a book of spells, and the book was all about how to write spells in seal script.
This made Qian Xiaodong extremely happy, knowing that although the Taoist priest was unwilling to accept him as his disciple, he was willing to teach him something.
Bowing three times to the sky again, Qian Xiaodong followed the instructions with great gratitude.
Today, Qian Xiaodong felt that he had achieved some success and planned to give it a try. However, he obviously overestimated himself and failed to achieve anything after trying all morning.
However, he was not discouraged. After all, if it was so easy to learn, then it must be some unskilled mystical methods. Only those that are difficult to learn are powerful.
After putting away the "Qianhai Sutra", Qian Xiaodong carried the basket and returned to the village. He opened the door and was about to call his grandfather when he saw a strange man sitting in his home.
This rare situation happened twice in a row, which made Qian Xiaodong feel very strange, but also inexplicably looking forward to it.
Just when Qian Xiaodong was thinking about all this, the strange man slowly turned around and stared at him with his eyes.
"May I ask you are?"
Qian Xiaodong said in confusion.
The moment he heard Qian Xiaodong's voice, Huo Zhishang's heart beat unexpectedly.
Seven years... exactly seven years!
During this period, he thought he had found it several times, but in the end he found it was not the case.
But this time, his mood was the most complicated.
Because every time he looked for Wenkang, he spent a lot of effort and went through all kinds of difficulties and twists and turns before he could finally see him.
However, these difficulties only resulted in disappointment every time.
But this time after asking the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, only two days had passed before Deputy Gang Leader Li came to tell him that Wen Kang had been found.
This made Huo Zhishang unbelievable and even felt that he had been teased.
But Deputy Gang Leader Li told him to be at ease. Since the Emperor said he had found it, he must have found it.
In addition, Huo Zhishang had indeed seen that the emperor had abilities far beyond ordinary people.
So with a feeling of anxiety, Huo Zhishang came to Yangjin Village according to the address on the note, and asked all the way to Old Man Qian's home.
Knocking on the door, the old man Qian not only showed no caution when seeing him as a stranger, but happily welcomed him in.
Just when Huo Zhishang was embarrassed to speak due to this inexplicable enthusiasm, a little boy opened the door and walked in.
The moment he saw the little boy, there was only one word left in Huo Zhishang's mind.
"picture!"
More similar than any other child he had found in the past seven years!
It was even almost certain that he was the Wenkang that he longed for.
After all, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Just as Qian Xiaodong held the door bolt with one hand and was about to leave, Huo Zhishang suddenly looked at the old man who was calling Qian Xiaodong to come over and said hello and asked: "Old man! I'm sorry for being so presumptuous! I have something to ask."
Seeing that the old man Qian didn't understand, Huo Zhishang immediately changed his language to speak plainly, pointed at Qian Xiaodong and asked, "Is that child your grandson?"
There was a "boom" sound.
This question sounded like a thunder in the minds of old man Qian and Qian Xiaodong at the same time.
Old man Qian opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.
He actually wanted to answer that of course Xiaodong was his grandson, but looking at the gorgeous clothes of the man in front of him, he couldn't speak.
Xiaodong is already seven years old. Old Man Qian knows that his child is very smart and filial. As a grandfather, he also wants Xiaodong to live a better life. However, he only knows how to farm, and there is no way he can help the little boy.
What does East improve?
So when he saw the man in fine clothes in front of him, Old Man Qian hesitated.
He knew that his grandson had always yearned for the outside world, including after the doctor came to his home a few days ago, and the child's heart became even wilder.
Seeing that Old Man Qian was still silent, Huo Zhishang could clearly feel his heart beating faster and faster.
"well……"
Finally, old man Qian sighed, looked at Huo Zhishang and asked, "Sir, can I ask where you are from?"
"Of course." Huo Zhishang nodded, "I am from Yunzhou County. Seven years ago, I lost my son while avoiding the enemy's pursuit. Besides..."
Huo Zhishang gathered a ball of blue-gray profound energy in his chest as he spoke: "I am a cultivator."
Seeing the blue-gray mysterious energy, Old Man Qian nodded as if he had made some decision: "Xiaodong... is indeed not my biological grandson."
"boom!"
This answer made Qian Xiaodong and Huo Zhishang feel like a thunder exploded in their minds.
Qian Xiaodong, who had been "exploded" twice, felt a little dizzy. There were so many things that happened in the past two days that he couldn't accept it at once.
"Grandpa! How could I not be your grandson! You are my grandpa!"
After shouting, he threw himself into grandpa's arms.
Hugging his grandson, Old Man Qian sighed and continued: "In the early years, my son couldn't give birth to a baby, and the whole family was very anxious. My daughter-in-law almost jumped into the river. Later, there was no other way, so my son passed through the village.
The carpenter contacted an old lady and bought...Xiaodong."
Controlling his excited hands, Huo Zhishang continued to ask: "Can Ya Po tell you where he got the child?
"I didn't say it, it's a rule, you can only buy it, you can't ask."
Qian Xiaodong was completely confused at this moment. His father actually bought him from Yapo...
But even so, Qian Xiaodong still hugged his grandfather tightly and said: "No, you are my grandfather! No matter who comes, you will be my grandfather!"
Old Qian happily hugged Qian Xiaodong tightly and said with a smile: "Silly boy, of course grandpa will always be your grandpa."
Looking at the grandfather and grandson hugging each other tightly in front of him, Huo Zhishang looked at Qian Xiaodong and asked: "Your name is... Xiaodong?"
Qian Xiaodong looked up at Huo Zhishang and shouted, "I'm not your son! My father's name is Qian Wangsheng!"
Huo Zhishang also knew that it was impossible for Qian Xiaodong to accept this fact all at once, so he was not in a hurry. He had been waiting for seven years. Is there still a little time left?
So he no longer asked Qian Xiaodong, but started a family affair with Old Man Qian.
After chatting for a long time, he learned that the old man Qian's family did not live in this village originally. They had fled the drought in Boyuan a few years ago. Qian Xiaodong's parents died on the way to escape the famine.
Huo Zhishang told the two of them how he lost his son and all the stories he had spent searching for his son in the past seven years.
During this period, grandma also returned home. When she heard that someone came to identify her grandson, she quickly protected her grandson and kept saying that Huo Zhishang must have made a mistake.
But after Mr. Qian's repeated persuasion, grandma changed from scolding Mr. Qian as an old fool to silently accepting this fact.
After listening to the story of Huo Zhishang's continuous search for his son for thousands of years, Qian Xiaodong's resistance is no longer so great. After all, he is a rational person. He knows that the man in front of him is also a victim, and he also sees that he is real.
Very eager to find myself.
"Can I ask... how did you find this place?"
Hearing Qian Xiaodong's question, Huo Zhishang's hands trembled with excitement, because this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to him.
"call……"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Huo Zhishang replied: "I found the current Holy Emperor, the current new emperor of Sheng Kingdom, and asked him to help me find you."
"Do you know the new emperor?" Old Man Qian asked excitedly.
"It's not even acquaintance... We met him once, and he was willing to help me just for the sake of my friend."
"The new emperor is a very good man now! If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so many men in our village farming this year."
"Yes, yes." Grandma also nodded repeatedly, "Everyone hopes that this emperor will never change."
After the atmosphere suddenly became lively, Huo Zhishang also nodded and said: "The current new emperor is indeed extremely wise, so I was thinking about asking him for help. I didn't expect the results to come out so soon."
After hearing what Huo Zhishang said, Qian Xiaodong immediately thought of the Taoist Priest and understood why the Taoist Priest suddenly came to their village. It seemed that it was because of His Majesty the Emperor.
"But...how can you be sure that I must be..."
As if he had expected Qian Xiaodong to ask this question, Huo Zhishang answered directly: "There is a way to prove it. There is a birthmark on your chest, on the left chest, a palm-sized birthmark."
At this time, on the roof, Jiang Beiran, who had been eating melon all day, couldn't help but shout in his heart: "What a guy! He is indeed the protagonist, and he has a birthmark to prove his identity."
The reason why he did not follow Huo Zhishang to find Qian Xiaodong was because based on his experience with the two previous "protagonists", if he stayed with them for too long, he would share their protagonist aura.
Why did Xuanzun hit him in the face? There was a big hole in the ground.
Anyway, it’s as bizarre as it comes.
He had already spent a day with Qian Xiaodong yesterday. If he had anything to do with him today, I'm afraid something strange would happen again.
That's why he decided to just watch this matter and not get involved.
While Jiang Beiran was feeling emotional, Qian Xiaodong shouted in the hut: "There is no birthmark on my chest at all."
As Qian Xiaodong spoke, he took off his shirt and exposed his chest. There was indeed nothing on it.
"Well...usually it doesn't show up, but if this happens..."
As he spoke, Huo Zhishang put his hand on Qian Xiaodong's chest and poured a burst of profound energy into his body.
In an instant, a palm-sized birthmark slowly appeared on Qian Xiaodong's left chest, like an eagle overlooking the base.
'Good guy...I'm so direct, good guy, is this birthmark even encrypted?'
On the roof, Jiang Beiran was enjoying the meal. He never expected to see such an operation.
At the moment when the birthmark was completely formed, Huo Zhishang could no longer control his emotions and hugged Qian Xiaodong tightly: "Kang'er! My Kang'er!!"
He shouted and burst into tears, as if he wanted to let out all the repression he had held for seven years.
Qian Xiaodong struggled a little at first, but when he heard the man's cry, he still didn't move because he felt the longing for him from the cry.
When this birthmark that even he himself didn't know appeared on his chest, he knew that he was really the son of the person in front of him.
Absolutely can't go wrong.
"Huh~"
Hearing that the father and son in the room finally recognized each other, Jiang Beiran stopped listening and disappeared into the dark night.
Returning to the palace, Jiang Beiran stretched out comfortably and solved this small episode. The next step was the real problem. How to make those families understand how to win-win with the people was the next task he had to complete.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to walk to the study, he suddenly remembered that he had not fed the six-tailed fox in the past two days.
So I took a detour to the back garden.
Walking to the Sifang Spirit Locking Formation, Jiang Beiran looked inside and found that the six-tailed fox had stuck out its tongue and fell straight to the ground. The red hair on its body had also lost its color.
After sensing it with his mental power, Jiang Beiran found that the six-tailed fox was not alive at all.
"It's so damn good. It saves me having to feed myself with meat every day." After Jiang Beiran said that, he turned around and left.
"Hey!!! Do you have any humanity at all? A fox has died! Can't you come in and take a look! Maybe there is still hope!!!!"
