Chapter 313
313 Fortune of heaven and earth, father and family
After leaving the ghost market, the three of them rushed back to Jiang-Nan Province.
Although this journey to the southern border was rushed, what he saw and heard had left a deep impression on Li Chu. Compared to the other state capitals of the Heluo dynasty, the southern Heaven region was indeed a kind of ‘lawless land’.
Not to mention anything else, for example, that medicine Master Demon actually dared to Rob an entire village of people for interrogation. If this kind of behavior had happened in any other place, it would have been a shocking case. However, in the southern border, it was quiet. If they hadn’t happened to bump into it, it would have taken a few days for someone to investigate.
This also caused Li Chu to have a slight dislike for the so-called “seven families of the South.”
The existence of these ancient families made it impossible for the Imperial court’s forces to enter and control this land, but they clearly did not fulfill their duties as managers.
By the time they returned to Yuhang Town, it was already bright. Just in case, Li Chu also came to the Wang family.
As soon as Wang longqi entered the courtyard, he shouted,”big brother!” Big brother! I’m back! There’s hope for father!”
“Little seven, you’re back?”
Wang Dalong, Wang longqi’s big brother, rushed out of the backyard. He was so excited that he didn’t even put on his shoes.
yes, we’ve finally made it. Wang longqi nodded, but he couldn’t explain it clearly.”Is Jian Jia’s father alright?”
This was what he had been most worried about.
Although he had the medicine in his hands, what if the spider demon was wrong? Or perhaps the murloc was a liar? He could only be at ease when he saw that his father was safe and sound.
“This Yingluo.”
Wang Dalong’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
I don’t know if he’s okay or not, ” he said resentfully. I’ll call my dad over and let little Daoist priest li take a look.
As Wang longqi’s elder brother who lived in Yuhang Town, he was well aware of Li Chu’s strength.
“Alright!”
Hearing that his father was still alive, Wang longqi felt that it was a good idea and nodded happily. After all, if the matter of the life-saving medicine was fake, his father would have already met with disaster.
However, Li Chu’s sharp senses picked up on the meaning behind Wang Dalong’s words.
“Father and aunts?”
Was this a strange name for the Wang clan? Perhaps it was similar to ‘brothers’, to express affection?
After a while.
Wang longqi’s father was called over one after another.
That’s right.
It was one after another.
One after another.
One by one.
One by one, they arrived.
At first, Wang longqi was sitting in the hall. When he saw his father coming in with a cotton coat, he immediately jumped up and ran to hug his father.
Shopkeeper Wang was very touched to see his son like this. He patted his son on the back.
“Son, you’re back.”
“Father, I’m sorry.”
Wang longqi was mulling over what to say at this critical juncture of a kind father and filial son, but he suddenly stopped.
Because he looked over his father’s shoulder and saw another shopkeeper in a cotton robe.
“Ya!”
Wang longqi was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
“What’s going on?”
The two shopkeepers forced a smile. Before they could speak, another shopkeeper Wang came in.
Then, another one.
A total of four shopkeepers stood in a line at the door.
Fortunately, they were wearing different clothes, otherwise, it would be difficult to tell.
They looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, spread their hands, and said in unison, ” “I don’t know either.”
this … Wang longqi felt a headache.
After Wang Dalong informed his father, he also returned here and smiled bitterly. “Now you know what’s going on, right?”
The father and son of the Wang family looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
It was old du who broke the silence in time. He smiled and said, ” “In any case, I still have to congratulate you, seventh young master. Originally, I only wanted to save a father, but now, I’ve received four blessings.”
“It’s not like the more the better.” Wang longqi pulled a long face. it’s all your fault. You said something like ‘it’s not a burden to have more fathers’. Now, it’s a lie, right? ”
Du Lanke didn’t say much. He turned to Li Chu. master, this Jian Jia …
Li Chu had never encountered such a strange thing in his life, so he asked first, ” “After we left, has anything strange happened in the house?”
“There is one strange thing.” Wang Dalong said.
“Last night, a young scholar suddenly came to my house and said that he saw a demonic aura of death in my house. I’m afraid that someone will be harmed by the demonic curse. He gave me three clay figurines that he had just made and asked me to place them under the cursed person’s bed, saying that they could offset this disaster.”
“Who knew that the next morning …”
“Four of my fathers walked out and three of the mud men disappeared.”
Wang Dalong was also confused.
Perhaps three of these four people were transformed from mud?
Li Chu used his heart’s eye technique to scan them and found that the auras of the four of them were similar. Moreover, he was not familiar with shopkeeper Wang in the past, so he naturally could not tell which one was the main body.
“What about the young scholar?” Li Chu asked again.
“He didn’t leave his name, and I don’t know where he came from, so I can’t find him.” I was also worried about my father’s curse, ” Wang Dalong said, annoyed. in a moment of desperation, I turned to any doctor I could find.
“Where’s the curse?” asked du Lanke. The real shopkeeper Wang should have that red line on his wrist.”
“Yeah,” “I don’t think everyone has a curse,” Wang longqi said.
He quickly went to check the wrists of the shopkeepers and found that there was indeed a red line on each of their wrists, and it was exactly the same as the curse.
“It’s no use.” Wang Dalong sighed. I’ve tried everything before you guys came back. Physical appearance, private matters, I’ve tried everything. All the fathers are the same. They can answer me fluently.
“Si si si …”
Wang longqi gasped.
“What about the bloodline?” even if the evil spirit transmogrifies, it can’t replicate the bloodline, ” Li Chu suddenly said. the royal family uses this as a test.
The reason he mentioned this was because he remembered the matter with the Prince of Jiangnan.
“This Yingluo.”
Wang Dalong’s expression changed again.
The expressions of the four shopkeepers changed one after another.
It was like a strange phenomenon of people passing on their skills.
earlier, I used my blood to test the blood identification technique one by one, ” Wang Dalong stammered.
Seeing his disappointed look, Wang longqi asked, ” “All four of them match?”
“No,” she said. Wang Dalong shook his head and sighed,”I can’t match all four.”
“Shua shua.” The air suddenly became quiet.
“AI!”
The four shopkeepers sighed in unison.
“If it wasn’t for this incident, the old servant girls in the residence would probably not have told me the truth,” one of the shopkeepers, Wang, said.”When Dalong’s mother was still alive, I treated her so well.”
I can’t believe it, Zhenzhen. I can’t believe it. the other shopkeeper Wang also shook his head.
“She actually went to find another man behind my back.”
Faced with a common tragic encounter, the few shopkeepers suddenly joined forces against a common enemy.
“But Dalong, don’t worry.” The last shopkeeper Wang consoled his son, ” “The matters of the older generation will not involve you. The four of us will always be your only father!”
Wang Dalong facepalmed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Wang longqi, on the other hand, showed an expression of sudden realization.
“I used to wonder why I was so unlucky to be cheated on. Only now do I know that it’s hereditary.”
The four shopkeepers glared at him.
“Stinky brat, don’t say anything if you don’t know how to say it!”
“This thing can be passed down from generation to generation?”
“Go to hell!”
“I’ve never heard of it!”
“……”
After a while, Li Chu took his leave, leaving du Lanke to look after them.
If it was only the incarnation of an evil spirit, then he could find a demon-revealing mirror or go to frostflame temple to invite monk God Eye to see if it was real.
However, according to Wang Dalong, the young scholar said that he could help shopkeeper Wang avoid disaster.
It didn’t seem to be that simple.
After some thought, Li Chu felt that it was safer to go back and ask master first.
Wang longqi saw him off.
“Don’t worry.” Li Chu saw that he was a little anxious and consoled him, ” “A little more is better than nothing.”
Wang longqi rubbed his temples.
“I was a little scared at first, but now I’ve gotten over it.” “You’re right, it’s better than nothing.” He sighed. In the past, my father always said that we brothers didn’t like to accompany him. Now, he can play mahjong by himself.”
“So, that’s it?” Li Chu asked tentatively.
“Of course not.” Wang longqi almost knelt down. He pointed at the couplets at the door and said, ” it’s almost the new year, and my couplets have to be changed to ‘father’s family is blessed with heaven and earth’. Please save my brother.
With this question in mind, Li Chu turned back to the deyun temple.
The scenery of the ten-mile slope was still the same. After passing through the front yard and reaching the backyard, he found that there were guests in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting with Yu Qi ‘an.
The man turned around when he saw Li Chu.
It was a young scholar dressed in white.
He faced Li Chu and smiled warmly. “Little Daoist priest li, it’s an honor to meet you.”
