You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 193 Father and Son
"Uncle..."

Seeing Wang Dayang coming out, Zhou Miao seemed to have found the source of his bitterness. Tears started to flow down his cheeks, and he cried and howled:

"My brother, he died so tragically!"

No one knows where Zhou Miao learned the crying skill, but his acting was so much like the howling of a ghost. It cannot be said that he did not cry miserably, but only that his crying was not realistic.

It looked like a howl of life, without even a single tear to be seen.

Donkey glanced at him, sneaked up behind Zhou Miao, and bit his butt.

"Ow!"

Zhou Miao screamed, and this time his tears really flowed.

After crying for a long time, he heard no movement from Wang Dayang. He looked up cautiously and found that the rigid old scholar seemed to be struck by thunder and was standing still.

Wang Dayang seemed to have lost his soul. He took two or three steps forward with soft heels and suddenly he reached the side of the cart.

He stared at the person in the cart for a long time, as if he still didn't believe it, so he reached out and touched Wang Bang's face.

Cold and breathless.

He felt up and down, felt his breath, neck, chest, and finally confirmed that his son was dead, and his body collapsed.

It was like my spine was pulled out, and my energy and spirit were all gone at once.

"He...what's wrong, why..."

"Drowned. I saw him fall into the sea at the port this morning." Zhou Miao covered his face with his hands. "He seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, and seemed to have encountered some troubles. I don't know what happened specifically."

"Troubles...troubles..." Wang Dayang repeated the word twice in his mouth, as if he finally remembered something. He held his chest with one hand, as if his heart was trembling with pain.

"What kind of trouble can there be... What kind of trouble can there be..."

His legs went limp and he held onto the handlebars of the bike, half sitting on the ground.

"What could possibly be bothering you... You're bothering me forcing you to study the sage's scriptures, but I'm doing this for your own good, right? You have such great abilities, if you can pass the imperial examination, you'll have a bright future. I force you to study because I believe you have the ability... I won't bother you anymore, okay? I won't bother you anymore..."

He didn't cry, nor did he mourn like the others. He just sat on the ground dejectedly, no longer as high-spirited as he was in the yard just now.

It's like my soul has dispersed.

In an instant he became an ordinary old man.

Zhou Miao glanced at it twice, not knowing what to say.

He approached the Donkey cautiously, poked him, and asked him with his eyes what to do next.

Donkey Grandpa glanced back at Zhou Miao and snorted.

"Look at it."

Zuo Chen, who was not far from Wang Dayang's yard, patted Caiyi on the shoulder.

Caiyi pinched out a small yellow bean from her arms and threw it into the air.

The small bean circled twice in the air, and then a man in dark blue clothes and with a sad face fell to the ground, sighing and walking towards Zhou Miao from the hidden house.

The girl with a sad face took out a curved-neck pipa from somewhere, plucked it twice, and played a few absurd tunes:
"Outside the hundred rivers, in the courtyard.

"A foolish father makes his son miserable, and his three souls and seven spirits leave home.

"A foolish man chases his dream with a thousand taels of silver, and he climbs to the sky without paying attention to the ordinary world.

"Today I heard the sound of mourning, and I went to look for the traces of tears and visited the mourner."

The man in blue and colorful clothes walked to the donkey cart, bowed his head and sighed:
"I was passing by this village and heard the crying music, so I came to see what happened here."

Wang Dayang's soul seemed to have dispersed. When he saw the blue and colorful clothes suddenly appear, he looked up, confused and hesitant.

His eyes blinked and he didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was asking about Caiyi's identity.

Just as Lan Yi Cai Yi was trying to find a name to introduce herself, Zhou Miao next to her seemed to be possessed by a drama spirit, his eyes widened, his face full of shock:
"Big...big aunt!?"

Blue and colorful clothes: "..."

No, when did you know about this?
But after hearing what Zhou Miao said, Wang Dayang's eyes widened.

“…Auntie!? The Auntie from Xuzhou who saves people from hardship and distress!!”

The woman in blue and colorful seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end, she didn't say a word.

How come everyone knows this nickname?

There was really no other way, Lan Yi Cai Yi had to reach out and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, choking with sobs and saying:
"it's me."

Very aggrieved.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Zhou Miao directly acted as the supporting actor:

"Can you save my brother? I can give you any amount of silver!"

The people in blue and colorful clothes also followed Zhou Miao's words and moved closer to Wang Bang.

She first placed her hand on Wang Bang's forehead and stroked it for a while before reciting the script as planned:

"He can be saved, but gold and silver cannot bring back true love. He is depressed, and even a hundred ounces of gold will not help."

"What do you need?" Wang Dayang asked anxiously, "Anything I can get, as long as it can save my son, I will do it even if it means going through fire and water!"

Having said that, he actually wanted to kneel down to Caiyi.

The girl in blue and colorful clothes touched Wang Dayang with the pipa and lifted him up again.

Wang Dayang was puzzled, but he heard the man in blue and colorful clothes say:
"I won't accept your kneeling, your kowtow is worth more than gold. If you want to save your child... there is indeed a miraculous way to cure it." "You tell me!"

"Your son's life span has ended, and it is difficult to collect his soul. The ghost messenger from the underworld will go and write down his life span in the Book of Life and Death. Because of your evil thoughts, your son's life span has ended. Now the only way is to give him half of your life span, so that your son can live."

This is a lie. In fact, Zuo Chen only needs to cancel the five-breath avoidance.

"Half an hour?" Wang Dayang murmured again.

"Yes." The man in blue and colorful clothes nodded, his eyes fell on Wang Dayang, as if watching his next move.

But I didn't expect Wang Dayang to not hesitate at all:
"What about half a day? What's wrong with giving it all? I have no ability and am a waste, but my son is different! My son is a man of three directions and four directions! He is the man of heaven! He must live. He is much better off than me, so it doesn't matter if I give him all my life."

The man in blue and colorful clothes looked at Wang Dayang twice more and showed a little surprise.

He just played the pipa again and sang:
"It's never too late to turn back.

"Today I borrow your life, only to pray for your son's peace."

After saying this, the girl in blue and colorful clothes shed two tears.

She put her finger under the corner of her eye, rubbed it slightly, and felt out two soybeans.

One pill was handed to Wang Dayang, and the other was placed near Wang Bang's mouth.

"Eat it."

Taking the soybeans, Wang Dayang swallowed them without hesitation.

The man in blue and colorful clothes pointed at Wang Bang who was sitting on the donkey cart.

Zuo Chen, who was in the Hidden House Method, also waved his hand lightly and removed the Five Breath Avoidance Technique from Wang Bang.

Soon, Wang Bang's color returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye. He slowly opened his eyes and propped himself up from the cart.

"Banger!"

Wang Dayang took two steps at a time and walked to the donkey cart, his eyes full of joy. He wanted to open his arms to hug Wang Bang, but then he withdrew his hand awkwardly, and his eyes reddened silently.

"father……"

Tears welled up in Wang Bang's eyes.

Although he had just pretended to be dead, he still had four senses around him. Except for his eyes, he could sense everything through his mouth, nose, ears and tongue. Every word his father said in his ear was imprinted in his mind.

He got off the cart and stopped in front of his father, not knowing what to say.

Tears started to flow.

Finally unable to suppress their emotions, the two hugged each other and cried together.

……

In the Baichuan City Restaurant, Zhou Miao spent a hundred taels of silver to prepare a whole table of delicious food for everyone to enjoy.

"Thank you so much today, Taoist Priest and Fairy Lady. If it weren't for you two, my brother would have to continue to worry about this."

Zhou Miao toasted Zuo Chen and Cai Yi. After drinking a glass, he was also quite emotional:
"Wang Dayang was happy to see his child was successful, but he was as stubborn as a donkey, so he made such a fuss. I hope things will get better after this."

Zhu Laoba shook his head and said, "What's the point? He has to hurt his son like this before he knows he's wrong. I've heard of such people before, but this is the first time I've seen one."

"Well, there are actually quite a few people like this," Miao Tao said, "Who doesn't like fame, wealth and power? The sage scriptures are a great way for most people to climb up. If they take too many exams, they will become crazy and naturally become such idiots. But let's not talk about this. Today, the story of my aunt saving someone is a good one to write in the strange story. I will write it down and it will definitely be useful later."

"Cough cough!"

Caiyi was drinking soup and almost choked to death.

Zuo Chen smiled and patted Caiyi on the back to calm her down:

"You did a good job today."

"Hehe." Caiyi calmed down, but felt a little embarrassed:
"From your description, Master Zhou, I could tell that Wang Dayang was an old scholar. If we confronted him head-on, he might not be easily persuaded.

"I guess if Wang Dayang didn't see it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't believe it. He might even think that you guys are working together to deceive him. He is that kind of person. He has little knowledge, but his ambition is higher than the sky. It seems that there is nothing he doesn't know and nothing he can't do. It takes explosive information to force him to reveal it."

Zhou Miao thought about the old man's character and his expression became a little strange.

like……

It's very possible.

Wang Dayang is indeed not a bad person, but he is indeed irritating.

"So I thought, if I really gave him a big show, even if he didn't understand where he was wrong, he probably wouldn't bother his son because of it. And he could probably tell whether the other party did it on purpose.

"Wang Dayang is planning to kill Wang Bang and get his wealth..."

Caiyi glanced at Zuo Chen.

"I'm not a tool of divine punishment." Zuo Chen said helplessly: "Report it to the local government and county yamen. They will be happy to handle this matter."

"Speaking of this."

Zhou Miao seemed to suddenly remember something. He slapped his forehead, took out the white jade pen, and placed it on the table:

"I asked Wang Dayang before. I know where this pen came from.

"It is said that a teacher went to Wang Dayang some time ago and listened to Wang Dayang's story about his son. The teacher also thought that Wang Bang was very talented and should go to Kyoto to take the imperial examination, so he gave this white jade pen to Wang Dayang."

At this point, Zhou Miao paused before continuing:
"Wang Dayang said that the man came from the library."
