Zhong's Anecdote

She didn't expect her husband to say that. Just as Chen Ying wanted to speak, Zhong Chengguo held her back. Zhong Chengguo shook her head, and Chen Ying stopped talking.

Seeing the strangeness here, Zhong Chengming walked over, "What's wrong?"

The great elder glanced at Zhong Chengguo, then turned his gaze to Zhong Chengming, "Chengming, when was your nephew born?"

"The first day of September? What's the matter?" Confused by the elder's question, Zhong Chengming looked at Zhong Chengguo and his wife suspiciously.

The Great Elder hummed, "I see, no, he must have been born between 12:3 and [-]:[-] am on July [-]th!"

Because of the strangeness here, except for the clansmen who were waiting to burn incense, those who had finished burning incense all looked over, and when they heard what the great elder said, everyone gasped.

Zhong Chengming was taken aback, and looked at Zhong Chengguo whose face changed slightly because of the elder's words, "Chengguo, is it true?"

Chen Ying is a little strange, does it matter when she was born?Then he replied for Zhong Chengguo, "Yes, brother, what's the matter?"

Hearing Chen Ying's admission, Zhong Chengming's expression also changed, and he looked at the elder, "This..."

Seeing everyone's faces, Chen Ying finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Zhong Chengguo who was silent, "Chengguo, talk, what's wrong?"

Zhong Chengguo glanced at Chen Ying, and just about to speak, the elder at the side had already said, "Don't ask, you child, you won't live to be 18 years old!"

Chen Ying's complexion changed, regardless of whether this person was the Great Elder respected by everyone, she said, "What are you talking about! Give me back the child!"

Zhong Chengguo on the side finally reacted and hugged Chen Ying by the waist, rubbed her comfortingly, looked at the elder with a serious expression, pulled Chen Ying to kneel down, "I beg the elder to understand."

Zhong Chengguo naturally knew that there was something wrong with the time of his son's birth. On July [-]th, the gate of hell is wide open. Children born on this day are always weak and sick. If it is a child from an ordinary family, it doesn't matter even if it is born at this time. The problem is his own blood...

As a family of cultivators, more generally, it is the blood of the family of celestial masters. Even if I have not inherited spiritual power, the potential hidden in the blood is not less. , the spiritual blood of the celestial master will cover other blood, but my son was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. If I didn't feel the breath of this child being invaded by evil spirits, I would not dare to bring the child here...

The first elder didn't look at the two kneeling on the ground, he carried the child to the edge of the altar, muttered something, then reached out, took the lit incense from the second elder, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

When the great elder finished everything and looked at the traces of smoke in the incense burner, his frown slightly relaxed.

The Great Elder walked up to the two of them and asked, "Cheng Guo, what do you think?"

Zhong Chengguo was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Grand Elder, you also counted that I only have one son, so naturally I will not give up my son."

The Great Elder nodded, "If this son is a woman, practicing Taoism will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but he is not bad if he is a man. You must have seen that this son's spiritual power is extremely strong in Chengguo."

Zhong Chengguo remained silent.

The Great Elder didn't care, and continued, "In our Taoist family, most people whose bloodline was born in the ghost month were corrupted by ghosts or directly took over the magpie's nest to be reborn, but this child was not only not corrupted by ghosts, but also formed a protective shield around his body. , it can be said that the talent is high!"

Everyone was in an uproar. It is not difficult to open this spiritual power shield with the help of external force. Anyone with a little spiritual power in the Zhong family can open it, but if it is said to be opened unconsciously, even the Zhong family has very few people. , among the people who are still alive, there is no one else except the Great Elder.

It’s no wonder that the First Elder directly hugged the child. The First Elder’s status is very high. Whether it’s worshiping the ancestors or other things, the First Elder just watched from the side and never stepped forward. Although it was a bit strange before, I think Zhong Chengguo is also The master of the family has nothing to say, but never thought that this child can form a protective shield?

Zhong Chengguo was stunned for a moment, but he was not overjoyed, and heard the Great Elder continue, "And what I said before is not false, Huiji will be hurt, this child will not survive!"

Unexpectedly, it was still the same, and Zhong Chengming, who had not yet spoken to Zhong Chengguo, also knelt down, "I hope you will understand!"

The Great Elder sighed, "Forget it, forget it, originally I wanted this child to inherit my mantle, but for the sake of this child's life, I will seal the child's spiritual power. From now on, this child will be an ordinary person..."

"Thank you Great Elder!"

The Great Elder waved his hand, "You don't have to thank me, I am also for our Zhong family, if you want to thank me, this son's name should be in my name."

"This..." Zhong Chengguo was taken aback for a moment, is this for adoption?

Knowing Zhong Chengguo's worries, the Great Elder said, "Only I can suppress him, and you don't have to worry about it. You take the child home and raise him as an ordinary person. Just bring the child to accompany me every summer vacation."

"Yes."

——————————16 years later—————————

A boy wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and blue jeans was standing at the intersection waiting for an incoming bus. The boy was extremely handsome, and he was the most popular flowery boy at the moment, but he was not as slender as a woman with bright eyes like those Korean stars. White teeth, facial features as carved by heaven, although white but not soft.

This boy is exactly the doll from back then, his full name is Zhong Huaming, and the word 'Ming' was chosen by the Great Elder. Zhong Chengguo has inherited the favor of the Great Elder, so naturally he won't say much.

In the past 16 years, the old town has been merged by the city, and the small village far away from the city has also become modernized. Countless people have moved to the big city for their livelihood. Now only the old-fashioned old man is left in Zhongjia Village. .

This year is the end of Zhong Huaming's college entrance examination. After the exam in June, Zhong Huaming, who has nothing to do at home, is still very confident about his grades. Compared with Chen Ying's worries, Zhong Huaming is in a good mood and ready to go back to the countryside to live. One and a half months, I will come up when I fill out the application form.

Because of the coming of summer vacation every year, Zhong Huaming is very close to the Great Elder. The seven elders of the year have changed and changed because of their longevity. Only this Great Elder is still alive and in good health. Speaking of which, the Great Elder is already 97 years old up.

The small village has already been connected to the road, and the 2 yuan per person bus goes directly to the entrance of the village, but it is very difficult to wait.

Standing at the bus stop, Zhong Huaming could only look at the surrounding road in a daze because his mother said that he would wait for the entrance notice before buying himself a mobile phone and a computer.

Not long after, the bus came, because this bus route leads to five or six villages, even though Zhong Huaming was waiting for the bus at the third stop, the bus was already full of people.

After finally squeezing in, Zhong Huaming frowned slightly, smelling the smell of sweat in the car, and turned his head to the car window.

The car started, and a breeze came through the wide open window, which made Zhong Huaming feel better, and continued to stare at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Probably because he stayed with the Great Elder for a long time, Zhong Huaming's temperament is also very calm, not as crazy as the current young people.

However, this does not mean that Zhong Huaming is introverted and shy. On the contrary, Zhong Huaming is not only the main force of the school basketball team, but also the monitor of the class, and he gets along very well with his classmates.

To put it simply, it is calm when it should be calm, and crazy when it should be crazy.

Because Zhongjia Village is the first stop leading to the village, Zhong Huaming got off the bus in a hurry after arriving at the station, patted the dust on himself, Zhong Huaming looked at the bus with only exhaust gas left speechlessly, turned around and started to prepare leave.

"Little brother, may I ask how to get to Zhong Ai Ming's family?"

At some point, a military off-road vehicle stopped beside Zhong Huaming, and an old man in a black suit got out of the car. The old man's facial features were very ordinary, but the aura of being a superior person rushed over his face, making people afraid to approach him. .

Standing beside the old man were two young officers in green uniforms, looking at Zhong Huaming expressionlessly.

When Zhong Huaming heard the question, he turned around and glanced at the old man. He was not afraid of the aura of the person who came. He had been with the Great Elder for a long time. The temperament has not changed at all.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "What do you want him to do?"

Unexpectedly, the little baby really knew this person, the old man's eyes lit up, and he said, "I am his old comrade in arms, come to catch up with him."

Zhong Huaming looked at the old man and the people around him, "My grandfather never said that there would be old comrades in arms coming to see him."

Before the old man opened his mouth, the officer on the side couldn't stand anymore. He stepped forward, and a sharp breath came over him, "Boy, why did you talk to the chief!"

He looked up at the soldier, but Zhong Huaming was not afraid at all. Although he said angrily that this man was half a head taller than him, he still replied calmly, "I don't know him."
