Chapter 223 Recognize each other(1/2)
"The monster is like a swaying man, and take Qi and form evil! The wind comes!"
On a small slope outside the village, Qian Xiaodong was muttering words and his posture was sporting in a very good manner. His fingers and middle fingers were tightly connected, as if guiding some unknown force.
However, after a while, no changes occurred around him.
‘How strange… I obviously did it as written in the book.’
He squatted down in confusion, and Qian Xiaodong looked at the word "黑" written on the ground with a branch and was fascinated.
When the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, Qian Xiaodong went home with a disappointed look on his face, but when he was about to sleep, he found that there was an extra book in the basket he was carrying, with four big characters written on it.
‘I don’t know.’
Qian Xiaodong had never been to school, and his grandfather and grandma were illiterate. Although he had studied it for a while in order to survive, those words were enough to write some miserable words, so how could he understand such many words?
However, although he couldn't understand it, Qian Xiaodong still tried to open the book. The moment he opened the book, several birds made of paper flew out.
In Qian Xiaodong's extremely surprised eyes, the paper bird flew around him and then spread to every corner. At the same time, the book in his hand burst into a brilliant light.
When Qian Xiaodong gradually adapted to the dazzling light and looked at the book again, he was shocked to find that he could actually recognize the words on the book.
‘This... what kind of mysterious Taoist method is this!?’
Although Qian Xiaodong guessed that the Taoist priest was a master, he didn't expect that he would be so high. This is definitely something that only those cultivators can do.
After bowing to the sky three times, Qian Xiaodong looked at the cover of the book again. This time, he knew these four big words.
"The Legend of Thousand Seas"
Nodded without understanding, Qian Xiaodong turned to the first page and began to study it carefully.
At the beginning, Qian Xiaodong found that the book was full of strange ghost-painted talismans, but when he looked in, he realized that it was a talisman book, and the book was written in seal script talismans.
This made Qian Xiaodong very happy. He knew that although the Taoist priest was unwilling to accept him as his disciple, he was willing to teach him something.
After bowing to the sky three times again, Qian Xiaodong learned with great gratitude.
Today, Qian Xiaodong felt that he had achieved some success in his studies and planned to try it out, but he obviously overestimated himself and didn't find anything wrong with it after trying it all morning.
But he was not discouraged. After all, if it was so easy to learn, it would definitely be some mysterious methods that were not as good as this kind of difficult to learn.
After putting away the "Thousand Seas of Relics", Qian Xiaodong carried the basket back to the village and opened the door. He was about to call him grandpa when he saw a strange man sitting at his home.
This rare situation happened twice in a row, which made Qian Xiaodong feel very strange, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
Just as Qian Xiaodong was thinking about these things, the strange man slowly turned around and stared at him with his eyes tightly.
"May I ask...who are you?"
Qian Xiaodong spoke in confusion.
The moment he heard Qian Xiaodong's voice, Huo Zhishang's heart beat a little unyieldingly.
Seven years...there have been seven years!
During this period, he thought he had found it several times, but in the end he found that it was not.
And this time, his mood was the most complicated.
Because every time he searched for Wen Kang, he spent a lot of effort and went through all kinds of hardships and twists and turns before he could finally see him.
However, these difficulties are disappointment every time.
But this time, after asking the Emperor of Sheng, two days passed, Deputy Gang Leader Li came to tell him that Wen Kang had been found.
This made Huo Zhishang unbelievable and even felt that he was being teased.
But Deputy Gang Leader Li told him to be content with a hundred thoughts. Since the emperor said he had found it, it must have found it.
In addition, Huo Zhishang has indeed seen that emperor has a much more capable than ordinary people.
So with a nervous mood, Huo Zhishang came to Yangjin Village according to the address on the note, and asked about Qian's home all the way.
When he knocked on the door, the old man Qian not only did not have any warning when he saw him as a stranger, but instead happily welcomed him into the door.
Just when Huo Zhishang was embarrassed to speak because of this inexplicable enthusiasm, a little boy pushed open the door and walked in.
The moment he saw the little boy, Huo Zhishang only had one word left in his mind.
"picture!"
It's much more similar than any child he has found in these seven years!
He was even almost sure that he was Wen Kang whom he was thinking about.
Looking at the stranger's increasingly excited expression, Qian Xiaodong suddenly became a little panicked.
‘Is it really an enemy who came to me this time?’
After all, it is very jealous when the enemy meets.
Just as Qian Xiaodong pulled the door bolt with one hand and was about to leave, Huo Zhishang suddenly looked at the old man Qian who was greeting Qian Xiaodong and asked, "Brother! I'm sorry, I'm taking the blame! I want to ask about something."
Seeing that Old Man Qian seemed to be a little confused, Huo Zhishang immediately changed to plain words and pointed at Qian Xiaodong and asked, "Is that child your grandson?"
There was a "boom".
This question sounded like a thunderous thunder in the minds of Old Man Qian and Xiaodong.
Old Man Qian opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.
He actually wanted to answer that Xiaodong was of course 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 kid is very smart and extremely filial. As his grandfather, he also wants Xiaodong to live a better life, but he only knows how to farm and it is impossible to improve anything for Xiaodong.
So when he saw the adult in gorgeous clothes in front of him, Old Man Qian hesitated.
He knew that his grandson had always longed for the outside world, including when the doctor came to his house a few days ago, the child's heart became even wilder.
Seeing that Old Man Qian was not talking for a long time, Huo Zhishang could clearly feel his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"well……"
Finally, Old Man Qian sighed, looked at Huo Zhishang and asked, "Sir, can you ask where did you call?"
"Of course." Huo Zhishang nodded, "I am from Yunzhou County. Seven years ago, I lost my child because I avoided the pursuit of enemies. In addition..."
Huo Zhishang said as he gathered a blue-gray mysterious energy on his chest: "I am a cultivator."
Seeing the blue-gray mysterious aura, Old Man Qian nodded as if he had made some decision and said, "Xiaodong... is indeed not my biological grandson."
"boom!"
This answer made Qian Xiaodong and Huo Zhishang's minds seem to have a thunder sounded.
Qian Xiaodong, who had been "fried" twice, felt a little dizzy. There were too many things that had happened in the past two days, which made him unable to accept it.
"Grandpa! How could I not be your grandson! You are my grandpa!"
After shouting, he threw himself into grandpa's arms.
Holding his grandson, Old Man Qian sighed and continued, "In the early years, my son couldn't give birth to a cub, and the whole family was very anxious. My wife was almost jumping into the river. Later, there was no way, so my son contacted a dentist through the village carpenter and bought Xiaodong."
Controlling his excited hands, Huo Zhishang continued to ask: "Where did the dentist come from?
"I didn't say it, this is the rule. I can only buy it, not ask."
Qian Xiaodong was completely confused at this moment. He actually bought it from his father...
But even so, Qian Xiaodong still hugged his grandfather and said, "No, you are my grandfather! No matter who comes, you are my grandfather!"
Old Man Qian hugged Qian Xiaodong with relief and said with a smile: "Silly child, of course grandpa will always be your grandpa."
Looking at the grandfather and grandson who were 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 am 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 at once, so he was not in a hurry. He had been waiting for seven years, is it still a while away?
So he no longer asked Qian Xiaodong, but had a family conversation with Mr. Qian.
After chatting for a long time, he learned that the old man Qian and his family did not live in this village. They escaped from the famine a few years ago when the drought in Boyuan. Qian Xiaodong's parents died on the way to famine.
Huo Zhishang told the two of them how he lost his son and all the stories he had found his son over the past seven years.
During this period, grandma also returned home. When she heard someone come to recognize 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 also changed from cursing Mr. Qian as a fool to accept this fact silently.
After listening to the story of Huo Zhishang constantly searching for his son for thousands of years, Qian Xiaodong's resistance was no longer so great. After all, he was a rational person. He knew that the man in front of him was also a victim, and at the same time he also saw that he was really eager to find himself.
"Can I ask...how did you find this?"
When Huo Zhishang heard Qian Xiaodong's question, his hands were trembling with excitement, because this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to him.
"call……"
After breathing a sigh of relief, Huo Zhishang replied: "I have found the current emperor, the new emperor of Shengguo, and beg him to help me find you."
"Do you know that new emperor?" Old Man Qian asked excitedly.
"It's not considered a meeting... He was willing to help me once, because it was entirely for my friend."
"Now the new emperor is a great good person! If it weren't for him, wouldn't there be so many men in our village going to farm this year?"
To be continued...
