different devil life

"I've heard that you practice martial arts at home, so it's true." Lin Wu looked curiously: "What kind of martial arts do you know?"

"a lot of."

"When will I go to your house, can you teach me?" Lin Wu said.

"can."

"Am I suitable for training?"

"Look again."

"Why do you always speak in two words?"

"Is it?"

After talking for a while, Lin Wu suddenly felt that Wang Zhong was boring. She found that Zhao Xiaodong was a very strange child. Although he was so young, he matured like a young adult. Every time he talked to Zhao Xiaodong, he felt suppressed.

And compared to other boys who like to pester her for fun, Zhao Xiaodong treats her indifferently, which makes her a little depressed.

But the more depressed she was, the more she wanted to talk to Zhao Xiaodong.

Wang Zhong didn't know what the girl beside him was thinking, at this moment he was already standing with a group of similar children.

As before, Zhou Yong, as the city lord here, made some opening remarks, and then solemnly invited Master Bai and Master Wu to come on stage to test the spiritual roots.

Looking at Zhou Yong beside him, Wang Zhong wondered if he was also with these two masters?

Is even the current imperial court controlled by these so-called masters?

If his guess is true, if Wang Zhong wants to survive, he will probably become an enemy of the imperial court.

Two masters and a group of disciples came over and began to perform the practice. The Spiritual Root Talisman was activated. Afterwards, Master Wu walked up to Wang Zhong, and the Spiritual Root Talisman tapped on his forehead.

When facing these masters, Wang Zhong hid his energy very well. At the same time, when the Spiritual Root Talisman was activated, Wang Zhong also felt a little energy fluctuation.

These so-called masters are indeed practitioners of vigor.

As the Spiritual Root Talisman was tapped on his forehead, Wang Zhong felt a little hot on his forehead, and then, sealed black jars were placed in front of him.

"Put your hand in." Master Wu said indifferently.

One by one, the children put their hands deep into the jar, and as soon as they reached in, Wang Zhong felt a cold aura pervade his whole body.

"Sure enough, it's weird. The things inside are probably evil!"

Wang Zhong guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to move. Now his strength is still weak, and he can't show too much strength in the face of a powerful enemy, so as not to encounter accidents.

Covered by evil objects, Wang Zhong felt that the power in his body was being absorbed.

"Level six." At this time, numbers appeared on the foreheads of other children.

"Level [-], it's not bad." A child exited the stage excitedly.

"Level five..."

"Level four..."

"Level seven..."

Numbers appeared on the foreheads of the children, and the children who had the numbers walked down, but Wang Zhong hadn't appeared yet, because he found that the evil thing in his hand was still in his hand, constantly absorbing the power in his body.

Finally, after almost everyone on the stage left, a number gradually appeared on his forehead: 2

"Wow..."

The people in the audience are all boiling!

"It's actually 2. Shopkeeper Zhao's son is short-lived."

"Hey, hey, I heard that Sun Daniu was saved in New Year's Eve, but I didn't expect him to be short-lived."

"That's why good people don't live long. I'm sorry for this little hero."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed softly, because it had been several years since there had been anyone with such a low spiritual root in the entire city.

At this moment, Zhao Dahai was also stunned, looking blankly at Wang Zhong on the stage.

Wei Yan even covered her head directly, and she was about to faint. Fortunately, Lin Wu's mother who was beside her quickly supported Wei Yan, so that Wei Yan didn't fall down.

Looking at everyone's expressions, even if Wang Zhong didn't look at his own forehead, he knew what was going on.

'Is that so? 'Wang Zhong didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, he was already in this situation, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Spiritual root talent, level 2." Master Wu stared at Wang Zhong meaningfully: "It's a pity, you won't live long, let's go on."

"En." In order not to make people suspicious, Wang Zhong pretended to bow his head and stepped down from the stage.

"My son..." Zhao Dahai cried directly, and suddenly rushed to the stage, kowtowing to Master Wu and Master Bai: "Masters, you can save my son, I, Zhao Dahai, am a bull The horse will also serve you, please."

"Spiritual root talent is the fate of everyone. This cannot be changed. You can go back." Master Bai turned his head back unceremoniously, and stepped down with his disciples.

"Master Wu, Master Wu..."

Zhao Dahai hugged Master Wu's thigh.

It's a pity that Master Wu kicked Zhao Dahai over in disgust, and shouted: "I don't care about my identity, I'm just a lowly merchant, if you dare to touch me, if you dare to come here again, I will kill you with one blow."

Wang Zhong hurriedly stepped onto the stage and grabbed Zhao Dahai: "Father, go back."

"But son, but..."

"I'm fine." Wang Zhong shook his head, looking at the backs of Master Wu and his group, killing intent emerged.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, the tempers of the two masters are not very good. You should go back. The talent of the spiritual root means that everyone has their own destiny. To put it bluntly, there is nothing you can do about your son's longevity."

The city lord Zhou Yong gave some persuasion, and led the guards back.

The people in the square gradually dispersed.

It's just that at this time, none of the friends who were familiar with Zhao Dahai in the past came over, just because they all knew that Zhao Xiaodong was a short-lived person.

If you get close to short-lived people, your life will be shortened......

Chapter 116 Leading Team

Returning home this time, Wang Zhong only felt that his parents were walking very slowly. Compared with the lively appearance before, they looked like two people.

Along the way, many people stopped saying hello when they saw them, turning corners as if avoiding the plague god.

What made Wang Zhong feel emotional was that Lin Zhou and Lin Wu, the father and daughter, were also dragged home by Lin Wu's mother. Obviously, although Lin Zhou still had brotherhood, Lin Wu's mother considered the overall situation. , took him home.

The reason is self-evident.

Back home, there was no one in the lively Jixiang Inn at the moment, even the housekeeper and a few servants looked at Wang Zhong with pity and pity.

"As a short-lived person, it seems to be really miserable." Wang Zhong shook his head with emotion.

But he is not worried, he is still young, there are more than ten years before his 21st birthday, during this time he can fully cultivate himself.

At that time, if the evil thing wants to take his life, it will depend on whether it has the ability.

"son!"

After returning home, Zhao Dahai closed the door, and Wei Yan looked at Wang Zhong who was only about one meter tall.

"My poor son, what should I do now, woo woo woo..." Wei Yan was a woman after all, and couldn't help crying at this moment.

"Cry, cry, shut up, don't you think our family is bad luck?" Zhao Dahai usually has a gentle personality, and he will not get angry no matter how big it is.

But this time, he couldn't help it.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dahai clutched his chest, couldn't help coughing a few words, and cursed in a low voice: "That damned Master Wu, you are so ruthless, I almost kicked the old man to pieces."

"Father, are you okay, I'll show you." Wang Zhong walked over.

Zhao Dahai waved his hand: "Although I'm old, I know in my heart that I won't die. It's just you, hey... You also knew before that the number of spiritual roots represents your lifespan..."

"Didn't we ask the master for the spirit root ash before? It stands to reason that Xiaodong drank it and it should be useful." Wei Yan said anxiously.

Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that that thing didn't work."

"Father and mother, don't worry, I still believe that man will conquer nature." Wang Zhong said solemnly.

"Hey, I hope, but son, don't worry, even if other people ignore you, your father, I will not give up on you, even if you can only live to be 20 years old, I will let you live well."

As Zhao Dahai said, he dug out a wooden box from the room, and there were thousands of taels of silver neatly placed inside.

"Hey, these family properties were originally passed on to you after my death, but it's already like this, so I can't keep it."

"Father, what are you doing with these coins?" Wang Zhong was puzzled.

"There is an unwritten rule in the city that ten years before the death of a short-lived person, he must leave the city to join the guide team."

"Leading team?"

"Well, I didn't explain it to you before because I thought it was unnecessary, but now I can't help it. The so-called guide team is someone who attracts evil things. Because our city has always been peaceful, there are few evil things. On the one hand, there are masters. They sit in the town, evil things cannot invade the city, on the other hand, it is the guiding team."

"These guide teams are joined by people who are not yet alive. The purpose is to get out of the city and attract those evil things away from here. For example, the mass graves and Gaojiazhuang where the evil things have made troubles these years, many people from the guide team went there. Evil things lead elsewhere, so there has always been peace here."

"No wonder the people in the leading team are very dangerous." Wang Zhong said.

"Well, so the people who join the guide team are those with a short lifespan. Xiaodong, you are only seven years old now. When you turn 15, you may have to join the guide team. This is the rule of the city lord. Even if I don't want to let you If you join, you must also go, otherwise it will be regarded as disobedience to the imperial court order..."

"Father, mother, don't worry, I'm not afraid."

He originally planned to find a way to get out of the city when he grows up, but now it seems that he doesn't need to find a way.

"My poor child, joining the guide team is equivalent to pinning your head on your pants, hey..." Wei Yan couldn't help wiping her tears again.

"Xiaodong, I will invite Master Gao to come over these days. No matter what, you can learn a few tricks from his side. After you turn 15, you will have the power to protect yourself."

Wang Zhong nodded slightly, it would be great to have a master to teach.

Seeing his son's calm expression, Zhao Dahai felt a little comforted, "It's a pity, after you become a short-lived person, I'm afraid your marriage with Lin Wu..."

"It's okay. Everyone likes to live a long life. I have a short lifespan. I'm afraid no one will marry me." Wang Zhong comforted.

"Xiaodong, it's good if you can think this way, but my father will try his best to get you married before you die, Lin Wu is not willing to marry, and I will find other women..."

Afterwards, Zhao Dahai gave some instructions and went out to find Master Gao.

This Master Gao is said to be a casual cultivator in the city, and he doesn't know many spells. Compared with Master Bai, Master Wu, he is far behind.

But for the people in the city, Master Bai, Master Wu, and other masters are simply not available to them, so they have to settle for the next best thing. They can only ask Master Gao for help.

…………

A month passed in the blink of an eye, Master Gao was said to be busy recently and hadn't come, Wang Zhong could only practice by himself.

Now Wang Zhong installed several wooden dummy stakes and boxing sandbags in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion, and trained day and night every day. As for the outside, he never went out during the day, and only went out secretly with Zhao Rong at night.

"Bang bang!" Fists hit the sandbag like raindrops. This kind of sandbag is just made of sacks filled with some soil. Although it is simple, it is very strong.

No matter how strong it was, under Wang Zhong's heavy punch, the sandbag broke again, and all the sand inside flowed down.

Wang Zhong was panting slightly, and was just about to rest when a delicate figure walked in quietly.

"Lin Wu, why are you here?" Wang Zhong looked towards the door, only to see Lin Wu walking over quietly, looking behind him from time to time.

"I'll come and see you." Lin Wu walked in after making sure there was no one behind her.

"I'm a short-lived person, so I'm unlucky."

"It's just rumors. Anyway, I have already been tested to the seventh level of spiritual root, so I am not afraid." Lin Wu looked at Wang Zhong and softened his eyes: "I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me?" Wang Chong laughed, feeling that this woman was quite interesting.

"That day you were tested to have a level 2 spiritual root, and I left right away. Don't get me wrong, I was dragged back by my mother."

Wang Zhong felt warm in his heart: "Yes, but I also understand that I am short-lived after all."

"But after all, I have made a marriage agreement with you. To be honest, my mother does not agree with our marriage, but... But my father and I both feel that people have to fulfill their promises. Xiaodong, don't worry, I won't give up. You are just a widow, I can bear it..."

"Uh……"

Seeing Lin Wu's serious look, Wang Zhong was angry and funny.

This little girl has the same personality as her father, with a forthright personality and a strong sense of friendship.
