"Grandpa, according to what you say, then these evil spirits will be ignored? Those evil ways will not be dealt with? Where is the justice in your mouth? You have also come from the edge of life and death." I couldn't find the right words to express my feelings. In the current state of mind, he could only lower his head in shame, but Zhou Jiaonan started arguing with the old man with his hands on his hips.
When Zhou Jiaonan said this, the old man had a smile on his face.
It was obvious that of all the people in this room, the old man only cared about Zhou Jiaonan, his precious granddaughter.
"Yes, yes, you are right, it should be taken care of, but I don't want my only granddaughter to suddenly die one day." The old man smiled and nodded.
"Lao Zhou and I, and even the brothers that Lao Zhou guards, we live and die for the next generation, so that the next generation can live a stable life." The old man said and looked at me.
"Don't my only granddaughter deserve to enjoy the peace we bought with our lives?" The old man still looked at me.
"But aren't we also trying to protect the people? Isn't fighting in an invisible place not fighting?" Zhou Jiaonan started arguing with the old man before I could talk to him.
"My sense of justice since I was a child was all given to me by you. Why should I give it to Xiaotian? It's because they are guarding the tranquility of the years in front of me in the dark." Zhou Jiaonan was still not relieved and continued to elaborate on his point of view. .
"When I first met Xiaotian, I called him a liar. But when I saw a ghost for the first time, it was Xiaotian who protected me. I felt guilty for my ignorance. I felt guilty that there were things I couldn't see. A danger that the common people cannot solve." Zhou Jiaonan became more and more excited as he spoke.
"I thought I was the embodiment of justice, so I trained hard and worked hard, but justice is invisible and intangible, just like you and your comrades." When Zhou Jiaonan said this, tears were already streaming down his face. .
".." The old man was stunned and fell silent.
"Jiaonan..." Seeing that Zhou Jiaonan wanted to scold him again, I quickly whispered to stop him.
Zhou Jiaonan opened his mouth, but didn't speak. He sighed and lowered his head.
I thought only we knew about these small details in front of me, and I didn’t even pay attention to the expressions on the faces of the old man and her parents.
"Xiaotian, can I call you this?" The old man returned to his previous kind smile.
"Okay." I quickly nodded respectfully.
"Can you guarantee that you can protect my granddaughter?" The old man seemed to give in.
"Can't..." I thought for a few seconds, then raised my head and looked directly into the old man's eyes.
My answer shocked everyone present, except Zhou Jiaonan, who looked at me with a smile.
"As you said, what we are facing is very dangerous. I can't guarantee that Zhou Jiaonan will not be injured, because it is impossible not to let her take action." At this moment, I calmed down and looked at the old man with a smile.
It was Zhou Jiaonan's words that woke me up. I have been exposed to these things with my master, but I never thought about the impact of these things on ordinary people.
It turns out that Zhou Jiaonan followed me up the mountain to visit the tomb the next day not out of curiosity, but out of guilt.
She has been pursuing justice because of the old man in front of her.
What have I been searching for? I just want to get out of my own hands.
In such a comparison, it is actually me who should feel guilty, which is far from the Taoist mentality we should have.
But Zhou Jiaonan's words also made it clear her position, and no one can influence the things she decides.
We have been through life and death together, and all I can do is respect her decision.
Presumably based on the old man's understanding of her, he knew Zhou Jiaonan's temperament better.
"But I can guarantee that if one of them must die, I will trade my life for hers." Seeing the old man's doubts, I put away my smile and looked firmly.
"Have you ever seen a dead person?" The old man was slightly startled, but he immediately regained his composure.
"I've seen it." I nodded vigorously.
"Then have you seen thousands of dead people?" the old man asked, his expression gloomy.
I really didn't expect that he was digging a hole for me.
"Have you ever seen a ghost?" I asked without getting angry.
"I've seen it before." The old man was a little surprised, but he still answered.
"Have you ever seen thousands of ghosts?" I asked.
"Hahahahaha, this boy is interesting..." The old man smiled and laughed heartily.
"Do you understand what I'm talking about?" The old man looked at me with a smile and then asked.
"When you crawled out of the pile of dead people, you just wanted your only granddaughter to be safe. You didn't want her to experience life and death again." I truthfully stated my thoughts.
"Yes, people are selfish. Compared to my old brothers, I am lucky. I hope that my only granddaughter can live well. Is this not too much to ask for?" The old man nodded and looked at me with gentle eyes.
"It's not too much, it's still too much." My voice was low.
"Oh?" The old man looked at me with interest.
"Put a lion in a cage and tell him that you want him to live well, but in fact the moment you lock the lion up, the lion is already dead." I don't know how I suddenly thought so clearly.
".." The old man was stunned when he heard what I said.
Zhou Jiaonan's parents also swallowed nervously. Only Zhou Jiaonan and the three people behind me were smiling.
"You came today to take Zhou Jiaonan away?" The old man's tone became serious.
"Yes." I no longer flinched.
"Do you know where this place is?" The old man looked at me coldly.
"Master..." Zhou Jiaonan was about to speak, but I raised my hand to interrupt him.
My move shocked the Zhou family even more, but I didn't pay attention to these details at the moment. I was only thinking about how to take Zhou Jiaonan away.
"I know where this place is, but I believe you are not that kind of person and cannot do such a thing." My heart was beating wildly at this moment, and I began to admire my eloquence.
"Okay, you have the guts." The old man smiled bitterly and gave me a thumbs up.
"Let's go, go quickly." I quickly reached out to Zhou Jiaonan.
"Wait a minute, who said you were allowed to leave?" The old man stood up again with a playful smile.
"What are you?" I froze on the spot, and Zhou Jiaonan, who took two steps toward me, also froze on the spot.
"You want to take my granddaughter away from me without any strength? I'm afraid that Lao Zhou will laugh at me." The old man said and walked towards me.
"You said, as long as I can do it, no, I will try my best even if I can't do it." I puffed up my chest and looked firmly.
"If you beat him, I will let you take Xiaonan away." The old man smiled and pointed back at the middle-aged man.
"Grandpa..." Zhou Jiaonan's face suddenly changed. Looking at Zhou Jiaonan's expression, he was really not a simple person.
"Afraid? I'll have someone take you out." The old man smiled and was about to pick up the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, I'll fight." I said and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Xiaotian..." Zhou Jiaonan held my hand with a grimace.
"If I can't pass this level, I have no qualifications to talk about experience." I also said this to the old man.
After saying that, I opened the door and jumped down from the second floor. I wanted to fight, but the space downstairs was so big, it was just right.
"No weapons, just fists and kicks." The old man stood on the second floor and looked at me with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man also jumped down, but he obviously felt light as he fell. The man in front of him was most likely a Taoist.
I frowned and fisted the man, but he didn't give me any response at all.
I looked up at Dahei's expression, and the strength of the man in front of me absolutely crushed me.
But I was afraid that I wouldn't come, so I made a fist and rushed towards the man.
After a round of punches and kicks, the man just dodged, but I couldn't touch him at all.
You must know that my speed and strength are not bad. Even if I face a Taoist master, even if I can't beat him, I can't beat him.
Seeing how relaxed the man in front of me was, I gritted my teeth and moved my cloud-chasing legs, while pouring spiritual power into my right hand.
My speed and strength immediately increased several levels, and finally, the man couldn't avoid my punch.
Just when I thought I had succeeded, it was difficult for my fist to move forward because the man grabbed my fist tightly.
"Not bad, but the strength is still low." The man said and slowly made a fist. I wanted to punch away, but I couldn't free my hand at all.
I could only watch helplessly as the man punched me.
"Boom..." a muffled sound.
"I'm not a vegetarian either." My left hand directly collided with the man's fist.
".." The man frowned and let go, and I immediately retreated, out of the man's attack range.
But now I don't dare to attack at will. If I can fight against my ghost hand and act like a normal person, this kind of opponent is much stronger than me.
