At night, we returned to Zhenwu Temple to rest.

Zhang Daoxuan said, I hurt my soul tonight. Although he gave me the nourishing elixir he adopted, I still need time to recuperate. Otherwise, even if the ghost makeup is removed, there will still be some sequelae.

Not only that, he also made a special trip to deliver medicine to me at night. It was still the red pill. He told me to take it if my soul was unstable, but not to eat it as jelly beans. In my current state,

It's very special. One mistake can cause disaster.

With his care for me, I was basically back to normal before I fell asleep, at least I didn't feel anything strange.

I was speechless all night, and when dawn broke the next day, I finally recovered my body again, and early in the morning I set out on my way home with Zhang Daoxuan and the others.

My hometown is in a small county in northwestern Shanxi, at the foot of Guanchuan Mountain. It’s only a three- or four-hour drive from Taiyuan. We arrived near noon.

The small courtyard is still that small courtyard, a set of farmhouses that are very common in northern mountainous areas. There are a few old houses scattered around, surrounded by a fence. From a distance, I can already see my father working on a large fan in the yard.

Pork, under the bright sunshine, his gray hair glowed with silver light.

All this is so familiar to me, but when I see it now, I feel like tears are filling my eyes. I have been struggling on the line of life and death for the past two days, and the pain is hard to describe. Seeing my loved ones again feels like a lifetime ago.

"dad!"

I jumped out of the car and ran quickly towards the man in the yard.

My dad finally raised his head. There was some hesitation on his face at first, but soon a smile took over his entire face. While wiping his hands on his apron, he quickly came over to meet him. Because he was in such a hurry, he even lost his hands.

I didn't even have time to put down the knife inside.

So enthusiastic?

I thought I was mistaken. He smiled so kindly. Is this still my violent father who would push me to the ground and rub me crazily if he disagreed with me?

However, after encountering a disaster, people always feel more cordial when seeing their relatives, so I didn’t think too much and hurriedly greeted them.

Snapped!

A big greasy hand covered my face without warning, smeared lard all over my face, and pushed me hard, pulling me to one side.

My dad just ignored me and walked quickly towards Zhang Daoxuan. His legs that were originally ailing and unable to move were miraculously healed at this moment. He was almost trotting in a hurry, looking like a dog with a big mouth.

, smiled very brightly, and his face, which was already a bit fat, rolled up into folds, like a big chrysanthemum blooming in the morning sun. He took Zhang Daoxuan's hand and began to greet him. The warmth made me shudder.

, let alone Zhang Daoxuan, the corners of his eyes are twitching constantly, even if he twitches his hand, it doesn't matter if he doesn't twitch.

After holding it in for a long time, Zhang Daoxuan asked awkwardly: "This big brother, do we know each other?"

"do not know!"

My dad shook his head uprightly, and patted the back of Zhang Daoxuan's hand with a big oily hand. The sound was so crisp that the Taoist Priest's hands were shiny in the sun, and then my dad started talking.

Turning around, with a smile on his face: "But, don't we know each other now? I think brother, you are particularly close to each other, and you look like the kind of person who can be a good friend!"

After saying this, my dad suddenly turned his head and roared at me: "Er Gouzi, get over here!!"

I was already shocked by this incomprehensible act by my dad, who was sultry on the outside and tender on the inside. This was really different from the stoic man he usually was. But now I suddenly heard this nickname that I kept secret, and all the hairs on my body were wet.

It stood up and almost exploded on the spot, but after seeing the look in my dad's eyes as if he was eating people, I gave up and walked up to my dad wisely.

"Kneel down!"

My dad said to me expressionlessly: "First kowtow to this Taoist priest three times!"

Originally, Zhang Daoxuan was also confused by my father, but at this time, his eyes suddenly became deep and he raised his hand, waiting to say something.

My dad pressed down Zhang Daoxuan's hand with one hand, and the butcher's knife in the other hand was placed on my neck with lightning speed, and said coldly: "Kneel down and kowtow!"

My legs trembled, and I literally knelt down. I had no choice but to get used to it. I had it since childhood...

However, as if he was worried that I wouldn't be able to kowtow, my dad pinched my neck, pressed my head and hit it on the ground. With a "dong" sound, my head buzzed and tears came out.

This is not kowtow, this is murder.

The moment I looked up, I saw Zhang Xinya raising three fingers at me. I understood the meaning - she felt sorry for me for three seconds.

Seeing my dad pressing my head down and trying to hit the ground, Zhang Daoxuan finally shook off my dad's hand and sighed: "Why are you doing this?"

My dad raised his head and said with a smile: "What? You don't like this little brat?"

Zhang Daoxuan pursed his thin lips and held it in for a long time before saying: "Although the blood in my bones is not gone, but... I am usually too cowardly."

"That's just because I don't like it!"

My dad's smile became even brighter: "It doesn't matter, I know that you have to accept the word "fate" when recruiting disciples, and I won't force it on you. You have your own ideas, and I have my own methods. Anyway, you have entered this door today.

, you have to watch this show, you can refuse, or I can knock this bastard to death in front of you, and then wipe his neck with a knife..."

Recruit a disciple!?

At this time, I finally understood what my dad was going to do. It turned out that he wanted me to become my disciple Zhang Daoxuan!

"You are forcing me."

Zhang Daoxuan turned away slightly: "Why is this so?"

"Of course, as for us, we are just a bunch of lonely ghosts. We have long since lost our craftsmanship and have become a low-class person. We still have to open such a small shabby shop. Aren't we just unwilling to do so?"

My dad was still smiling, but there were tears in his eyes: "It's hard to catch a person like you, but you can't bear to see us die. How can you let us go? Come on, kid, kowtow!"

He laughed loudly, pinched my neck and hit the ground twice with "dong dong". For a moment, my forehead was cut open and blood was flowing all over my face.

"alright!"

Zhang Daoxuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly raised his hand to help me, looked at my dad and said in a solemn voice: "You should know that I am a Taoist priest and cannot teach etiquette officials!"

"It doesn't matter!"

My dad shook his head and said, "At least he can survive, right? As long as he lives, he has a chance!"

"It's not that easy. The implications are too great and I may not be able to protect him. This road is too dangerous!"

Zhang Dao

It's quite to my liking, but I can only do my best. Whether I live or die depends on his destiny!"

My dad was so happy that he slapped me on the back of the head and shouted, "Why don't you call me Master?!"

I glanced at Zhang Daoxuan subconsciously. He was also looking down at me. His long hair was hanging down, and his face that was unlike any other in the world was shining brightly in the sun. He really looked like a banished immortal. Moreover, he was smiling at me, extremely

mild.

My heart felt warm, and the word "Master" almost came out of my mouth.

Do you want to?

I asked myself this in my heart, and the answer is yes. After getting along with him for a few days, I developed an almost admiring feeling for Zhang Daoxuan. I always feel an endless sense of security when I am around him. Thanks to such a person

It was a perfect fit for me to be my teacher, and I also longed for Zhang Daoxuan's carefree life, and I was really tired of spending my life guarding a small shabby shop.

It's just that I feel a little awkward after all. This way of becoming a disciple... is really a bit different.

I think, in Zhang Daoxuan’s heart, I probably belong to the category of cheap apprentices!

However, everyone was happy with this matter in the end, especially my dad. He cried and laughed, and even wanted to drag Zhang Daoxuan to drink, but Zhang Daoxuan refused.

"We are here because of something extremely important, concerning Jingzhe's life!"

Zhang Daoxuan took my father to sit down in the yard and briefly told me about my recent experiences. Then, he gave me a wink, and I immediately took out the Tianshi Blade wrapped in a coarse cloth from behind.

As soon as my dad saw this thing, his emotions were completely out of control, even worse than when he saw Zhang Daoxuan. For a while, he lowered his head and burst into tears, crying like a night owl.

After a long time, he finally calmed down a little. He put the Tianshi Blade in his hand and rubbed it with his eyes much gentler than when he looked at my mother. He said softly to Zhang Daoxuan: "Brother, do you still say that we have no chance? Without the Tianguan Blade,

The ceremony officer is a charlatan, but what about the ceremony officer who has the Heavenly Master Blade? Moreover, although this child is in danger, he has taken another crucial thing. You should know very well what these two things mean together.

!This is life!”

Zhang Daoxuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's go, maybe we should talk about these things in another place."

My dad stuffed the Celestial Master's Blade into my arms and pulled me towards the side room on the left side of the square.

For a moment, I had a strange look on my face, because the left wing is a restricted area in our house. My dad used to say that it was the place where we enshrine the tombs of our ancestors. However, even when I became an adult, he never took me in, and he refused to do so.

They think I'm not qualified enough.

Not only me, but my mother has never been either!

He, on the other hand, would go there every now and then. When I was still living at home, I would often hear my dad's low and suppressed whimpering coming from the left wing in the dead of night, like a wounded wolf...

At this point, he finally wants to take me to the ancestral temple?
