Wang Yang stood in the cemetery, facing the biting cold wind of winter, and whispered his heart to everyone present.
As he said just now, he and Pan Xiaopeng are both orphans.
Both their parents died in the "Nine Infants' Disaster" eight years ago.
Even the two of them almost became the prey of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon".
It was Zheng Yu, the former governor of the Exorcism Department of Yishui County, who stepped forward and sacrificed himself to save the two of them and several other children from the "Nine Infant Snake Demon".
Everyone thinks that they are lucky and think that they must have done great good deeds in their previous lives to receive such treatment.
But this incident also became the beginning of pain for Wang Yang and Pan Xiaopeng in the future.
As we all know, Zheng Yu is a rare cultivation genius in Yishui County. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become a strong guard in the future.
However, the cultivation qualifications of Wang Yang, Pan Xiaopeng and others who were rescued by Zheng Yu are mediocre - not only have their cultivation realm been stagnated at the first level for a long time, but they also cannot learn profound magic or martial arts. .
When they go out on missions, they can only deal with some weak "wandering soul" level ghosts. Many times they have to rely on the "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Ghost Killing Talisman" drawn by Gu Xu.
Because of this, many people feel that the choice Zheng Yu made was not worth it.
Some people even joked in front of Wang Yang and Pan Xiaopeng, saying things like "Master Zheng must have been crazy to choose to save a loser like you", "If Master Zheng is still alive now, he The number of ghosts killed must be ten times more than yours combined." "If Mr. Zheng had been a little selfish, our Yishui people's lives would be safer and happier now"... words.
Perhaps for those people, these words are just casual ridicule.
But for Wang Yang and Pan Xiaopeng, these words put them under extremely heavy pressure.
They began to practice hard and wanted to prove their worth.
However, in this world, practice requires not only talent, but also a lot of resources.
It is difficult for them to complete high-paying tasks due to their low status.
It takes them a long, long time to accumulate enough merit to exchange for a bottle of "quiet mind pill" needed for cultivation.
Cultivation geniuses like Gu Xu who broke through in less than a year are an exception after all.
People like them are the truest portrayal of all living beings in the Qi Dynasty.
They are eager to become stronger and eager to prove themselves, but they do not have enough elixirs on hand.
That’s why they are “impatient and aggressive”.
That’s why they still practice forcibly after the “Jingxin Pill” has exhausted its effectiveness.
That's why on that quiet and cold night in October, Wang Yang cried painfully in front of Gu Xu, "I feel like a waste. I don't know how I can fight to catch up."Follow your pace."
That's why Pan Xiaopeng unfortunately lost his young life today.
......
After Wang Yang finished speaking his heart, He sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands.
"Sorry, I was a little emotional and made everyone laugh..." He sobbed softly. >After hearing Wang Yang's words, Gu Xu felt extremely heavy.
He did not expect that Wang Yang's usual smiling and heartless appearance would hide such unhappiness. Well-known painful thoughts.
As expected, happy people are all similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.
He sighed and said to Wang Yang, "Wang Yang, Did you know? In my opinion, when Mr. Zheng rescued you, he did not expect how high your cultivation level or achievements would be in the future. As long as you can live a good life, it is the best repayment to Mr. Zheng..."
"Live a good life..."
Wang Yang read these words silently, and suddenly burst into tears.

…………
Chen Jisheng stood aside and looked at the juniors in front of him, silent for a long time.
In fact, not only Zheng was buried in this cemetery. Sir, buried here are Pan Xiaopeng and the many victims of the "Nine Infants Disaster". Also buried are Chen Jisheng's wife and son.
Many years ago, his wife and children were also eroded by Yin Qi. Turned into a monster.
As an official of the Exorcism Department, Chen Jisheng had to perform his duties and wave his sword at them with tears in his eyes to help them get rid of their pain.
In this matter, Chen Jisheng had always buried it deeply in his heart and never mentioned it in front of his subordinates.
Since then, he has almost become a ruthless work machine, working tirelessly from dawn to dusk every day. Working in the Mosi Yamen.
Others think that he is a model official who cares about the world and is selfless.
But only Chen Jisheng knows that he works hard day and night, but it is nothing. It's just a means of self-paralysis.
Only when he is busy at work can he forget the pain of killing his wife and children with his own hands.
That's why he repeats it. He told his subordinates, "Be careful when practicing and never rush for success";
It is precisely because of this that he takes the trouble to carry various elixirs with him;
He really doesn’t want to see the tragedy happen again.
“Everyone in the world thinks that practitioners of the Exorcism Department are heroes with glory, gods with great powers, and lights in the darkness. "Chen Jisheng looked at the sky with low clouds and murmured softly, "But they don't understand that we are actually struggling in pain every moment..."
Desolate A cold wind suddenly blew up, blowing up the sand on the ground, ruffling their hair, and making their sleeves rustle, but it could not dissipate the cold air above the cemetery.However, dull gloom.
"Let's go back to the Yamen." When dusk enveloped the earth, Chen Jisheng forced a faint smile on his face and said to the juniors around him, "Tonight, I will invite you to the public kitchen. Eat.”
Winter has arrived.
Things in the world are constantly changing, but life must continue to move forward.
…………
The third day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-third year of Tianxing.
It’s Xiaohan.
It is appropriate to install beams, start construction, pray for blessings, and make covenants.
Avoid getting married, buried, entering the house, and traveling far away.
…………
In the evening, the lanterns are lit.
After Gu Xu finished practicing, he left his house and went to Shi Xiaohan's house to celebrate her birthday with her as promised.
To be honest, this was the first time he went to the Shi family's mansion.
The wide gate, the exquisite tin ring, the spotless stone steps, the drum stone carved with lions... formed a sharp contrast with the shabby little courtyard of his home.
Shi Xiaohan was already standing in the cool breeze, waiting for his arrival.
As soon as she saw Gu Xu, she immediately came up to him and greeted him: "Gu Xu, you are finally here!"
"I'm sorry, Lady Heroine, let you "It's been a long time." Gu Xu smiled lightly.
"Come with me!" Shi Xiaohan said.
At this time, Gu Xu discovered that when he called Shi Xiaohan "heroine", Shi Xiaohan did not smile as brightly as usual, but frowned slightly.
