Chapter 18 I have a child
Cheng Mai gave him a big look and turned around to see the little Taoist boy kneeling in front of the old Taoist priest and kowtowing seriously three times before getting up and leaving.
Cheng Mai was a little surprised and looked at the little Taoist boy who came out.
"If you decide to follow me, you will forget all the past things." Cheng Mai reminded.
The little Taoist boy looked back at the old Taoist priest who was laughing crazily inside, "Can I offer him a stick of incense during the holidays?"
"What he did is enough to keep him in the eighteenth level of hell for hundreds of years. Even if you burn him, you won't be able to use him." Shang Xingjian struck mercilessly.
The little Taoist boy grabbed his shabby clothes and whispered: "Then I will do it secretly."
Shang Xingjian glanced at him and said nothing to hurt him.
The moonlight soon appeared and illuminated the mountain road.
The police had arrived, and Shang Xingjian and Cheng Mai took the little Taoist boy and the ashes down the mountain from the back.
They took the ashes back to the interrogation room in the slums. Before they got close, the sound of fighting could be heard. General Meng An, who had lost one arm, was still very powerful in combat.
The ghost soldiers inside were no match for him. Fortunately, Meng An did not kill them.
Shen Luo and others had already used spells to trap his whole body, but they couldn't hold him back at all.
General Meng An roared and knocked away a ghost soldier with one hand.
"Boss, I can't control it anymore, he's going to turn into a beast." Shen Luo shouted loudly.
"General Meng An, I brought the ashes back." Cheng Mai shouted before General Meng An responded.
She held up the urn in her hand and looked at General Meng An carefully, "I brought the ashes back."
Meng An stopped, but held on to the thunder with his own hand, as if he was worried that the thunder would hit the urn.
Mu Mu was shocked: "Mom, it's terrible to be able to catch a thunderstorm with one hand after being chopped off by the boss."
Xiao Qian bent over and gasped, "I was scared to death. I almost got eaten by him."
Shen Luo also took a step back and breathed a sigh of relief.
A zombie that can strike with lightning strikes would be terrifying once upgraded.
"Ah, yes." There was a bit more warmth in the stiff voice, and the huge palm gently took the ashes, as if catching his own diluted treasure.
Meng An held the urn and silently walked to the corner and sat down, holding the urn in his arms.
Cheng Mai slowly approached, and while making sure that Meng An had no offensive intentions, he squatted down next to him and tried to touch his hand.
Meng An was wary of everyone, and Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to bring people back.
Shangxian Jian suddenly threw a sleeping child to her, "Go and wash him and find some clean clothes to put on. He's so dirty."
Shen Luo hurriedly caught him. Did he give birth to a baby during this trip?
Is the speed too fast?
"Take care of your wounds if you are injured, and go back to rest if you are fine. Won't you go to work tomorrow?" Shang Xingjian gave the order.
With the merchant Jian here, Shen Luo didn't say much and left with the child who was suspected to be the boss's illegitimate child.
"My name is Cheng Mai, and I am her child in this life."
Meng An seemed unable to hear her, and just held the bottle of ashes in his arms.
"You can continue to hold her, but her soul is unstable. If she cannot be reincarnated before sunset tomorrow, she will have no choice but to lose her soul." Shang Xingjian reminded ruthlessly.
Meng An suddenly raised his head and looked at Shang Xingjian with anger.
Even Cheng Mai looked at him angrily. Shang Jian didn't take it seriously and sat down on the dilapidated table, "As a powerful artifact over the years, her soul has been severely depleted. Twenty years is the limit. Even if she is reincarnated tomorrow, I will give you a back door. No need to thank you.”
Shang Xingjian originally wanted Cheng Mai to see her for the last time, but before he cast the spell, he saw Cheng Yueran shaking her head slightly at him with prayer.
Shang Xingjian's raised arm fell again.
Cheng Yueran's empty hand fell on Cheng Mai's face. Her child had grown up and was doing very well. She had also met a noble person who could really protect her for the rest of her life.
Shang Xingjian coughed lightly and said, "It's getting late. If nothing happens, please go back and rest early. Your family is not very big."
Cheng Mai felt that today's boss really deserved a beating.
"Go home." General Meng An said this word for Cheng Mai. It was obvious that this was what Cheng Yueran meant.
Cheng Mai said nothing and naturally agreed.
Except there's a nasty guy who wants to rub up against her car.
It was late at night when Cheng Mai returned home. After a tiring day and night, Cheng Mai tried his best to wake up, but he still couldn't help but fall asleep on the way home.
Sleeping in Cheng Yueran's arms.
After arriving home, Shang Xingjian carried the sleeping Cheng Mai back, and General Meng An followed him holding the ashes.
The sleeping Cheng Mai was placed.
Cheng Yueran kept sitting by the bed and looking at her.
"Of course, why do you agree to make them a magical weapon?" Shang Xingjian asked.
Cheng Yueran kept looking at Cheng Mai, patting her gently even if he couldn't touch her, as if he was gently coaxing an infant to sleep.
"I was detained by them back then. If I didn't agree to do this, they would have killed Maimai. Rather than die, I hope she lives stupidly. As long as she lives, there is still hope." Cheng Yueran whispered. .
"You were mother and daughter two thousand years ago." It was not a question, but a statement.
Cheng Yueran looked up at Meng An who was standing aside, "Maimai loved her father the most when she was young. Every time Meng An came back from patrol, Maimai always liked to sit on his shoulders and show off to others that her father was the most powerful in the world. General.”
"It was originally a kid's joke, but he never expected that it would become a weapon used by others to criticize him. Brother Wang is afraid of Meng An, and the world has already accused him of supporting his own troops and attempting to rebel. This crime is ridiculous. , using our mother and daughter as bait to trick him into entering the palace, thousands of arrows will pierce his heart.”
"And my son is only five years old."
Meng An placed one hand on Cheng Yueran's shoulder, as if to comfort her.
"Two thousand years ago, when the world was at peace, the Heavenly Court recruited a group of heroes to join the Immortal Class. If I remember correctly, General Meng An and his wife were both on the list."
It was only when Meng An refused to be granted the title and trapped his soul in his body that he became the zombie king he is today.
The general's wife also chose to be reincarnated as a human being.
"If I become a god, I will completely cut off the mother-daughter bond between me and Maimai. I will exchange my merits for our mother-daughter bond, just so that I can protect her from wind and rain in this world." Cheng Yueran raised his hand. It attached itself to the back of Meng An's hand and smiled at him.
"Although I don't know what kind of god you are, I have a heartfelt request. I have come to the end of this life and can no longer protect her. I am willing to exchange a thousand years of blessings for you to protect her and keep her safe in this life." Cheng Yueran said. You have to stand up and kneel down.
"Still, there is me."
"Madam, you don't have to." Shang Xingjian raised his hand to avoid her kneeling, and seemed to just ask: "Is it worth it to exchange a thousand years of blessings for her stability in this life?"
Cheng Yueran looked back at her daughter, "As a parent, whatever you do for your children is worth it."
"If you have children of your own in the future, you will understand what I mean."
Shang Xingjian looked a little sad, as if a scar had been uncovered: "I once had a son."
