Seeing this, the Second Elder quickly pulled the First Elder and said, "Don't scare the child."

Because of what the second elder said, the first elder calmed down his anger and asked, "Why don't you go?"

"Great Elder, let me ask you, how was the ogre born?"

The Great Elder recalled it for a while, and said with some sadness, "The village suffered from a severe drought. It hadn't seen rain for several years, and the fields had no harvest. The villagers were forced to...cannibalize people."

When he found out about this, the Great Elder was also very shocked. He even heard that the two families in that village would alternate raising their children, and when the children reached a certain age, they would eat them.

It is precisely because people started to eat people that the resentful spirits in the village gathered together and turned into powerful evil spirits, possessing ordinary people. Even if the dragon king favors and the production resumes, it will repeat the previous tragedy.

"The village is suffering from a severe drought, even to the point of cannibalism, why no one cares about it? It's not because the country is blind, the officials are corrupt, and the monarch is incompetent."

"You! You are so daring!"

Luo Ning didn't care that what he said was treasonous, "Not only that, a small servant is also arrogant, and the dog's eyes look down on others. Doesn't this mean that the monarch is close to the virtuous and far away, and he doesn't accept the audience. A villain with ulterior motives. I heard people say that a strong country needs harmony with people in addition to the right time and place. The most important thing in harmony with people is to win the hearts of the people and value talents. When the king met us today, there was a screen in front of him. , the air is so big, I am afraid that the current love is just a novelty for a while, you see, he set up a special job for us, but only let us go to the palace to do things, saying that it is to pray for the royal family, our Luo family has since moved into the Central Plains, After several twists and turns, all the Luo family disciples studied Taoism diligently and vowed to save the common people in the world from fire and water, but they want us to be imprisoned in the palace, like birds in cages and fish in ponds."

Luo Ning's words were resounding, and Luo Jiang almost clapped her hands in applause. She has seen things so thoroughly at such a young age, so it's no wonder that Luo Yunsang regards him as a spiritual belief.

The Great Elder lowered his ruler lower and lower, and finally he lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Are you blaming me for being servile and flattering the Lord, for losing the integrity of the Luo family? Okay...you come with me."

After finishing speaking, the Great Elder took Luo Ning out of the main courtyard and arrived at the place where the Luo family branch lived.

In the other courtyard, a few skinny children were playing games. When they saw the Great Elder, they all ran over to say hello with a smile.

Seeing the carefree smiles of the children, the First Elder also smiled a little, and opened his mouth to ask a few words.

"Have you ever eaten, have you studied hard, and are the newly bought clothes warm?"

The children answered one by one.

"go to play."

After walking a few more steps, I met a woman holding a basin in her hand.

"Have you got today's millet?"

"I got it, Mr. Tuoning's clothes." Although the woman was thin, she was smiling and looked radiant.

After saying goodbye to the woman, the Great Elder led Luo Ning into a hut.

There was an old wooden bed in the house, and a little girl was lying on the bed. Before I got close, I heard the little girl coughing continuously, and the air was full of the stale smell of medicine.

The girl's mother was feeding her medicine, when she saw the elder, she quickly stood up and said hello, "Elder, you are here."

The Great Elder nodded slightly, and asked, "Has Yuan Ji's illness improved?"

Hearing this sentence, Luo Jiang's eyelids twitched, and she immediately walked to the bed, wanting to see how Luo Yuanji was doing.

In the mirror image, Luo Yuanji has bright eyes and a charming appearance, but the child in front of him is breathing weakly, his face is pale and thin, and the sickness in the room is about to choke him to death.

"It's much better. I woke up yesterday and said I want to eat big cakes. The doctor said that as long as I keep taking medicine, I can recover within three months."

Having said that, Luo Ning also understood the intention of the Great Elder. He walked to the bed and looked at the girl on the bed with a complicated expression.

Luo Yuanji seemed to sense something, opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Who are you? I've never seen such a beautiful person, are you from heaven?"

Luo Ning shook his head, wanting to pull Luo Yuanji's hand, but seeing that arm that was as thin as firewood, he stopped moving, "My name is Ning, and I'm... a child of the family."

"Ning? You are Brother Ning? My mother said that thanks to you, I will be cured in a few months. When the time comes, I will ask you to release paper kites. My mother said that I am so handy that the paper kites I make are not even as good as those sold by the peddler. .”

Luo Ning looked at Luo Yuanji's innocent smile and did not refuse, "Okay, when you recover from illness, you can come to the main courtyard to find me."

After leaving, Luo Ning had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The Great Elder sighed next to him, "The situation of our Luo family has been bad, because you are the candidate for the next Holy Son, and everything is tight on you, but there are still many children who have no food, no clothes, It is difficult to survive in the chaotic world, the reason why we choose to attach ourselves to the monarch of Wei State is because Wei State is strong, the way you seek is also the way I seek, but before seeking the Tao, we have to live, do you understand?"

Although Luo Ning knew that the Luo family was not a prosperous family, he didn't know that the family's situation was so dire. The Luo family valued inheritance as well as the clan. Because they devoted themselves to cultivating the Tao, they had almost no income and relied on exorcism and catching ghosts to make ends meet. Living a life beyond our means, even a small wind and cold has to be endured again and again.
