Chapter 53 The Second Ancestor

Although Bai Chen has been pestering to send his sister away, which caused Wei Hao a lot of headaches, but for the sake of his ability to purify the filth, Wei Hao didn't bother with him, and instead took him to patrol the city.

After all, this guy is self-willed, and he does have skills.

"Brother-in-law, I don't understand something, please advise."

"Ah...you tell me."

Even beating and scolding can't cure Bai Chen's slut, so Wei Hao just treats him as farting.

"The people of Wuchao County have no relatives or reason with you. Why do you stay here instead of leaving, and you want to help them get rid of demons?"

Bai Chen is very curious, he hangs out in his hometown, eating, drinking and having fun every day, or fighting cocks and running dogs, he doesn't do any serious things.

Even if his "Yinjian" went to the capital, he did not report to the Imperial College as he said, but Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple.

The gods canonized by the kings, such as the dragon king of the mountains, forests and waters, etc., all started as the founder of the county, and the title of the prince was capped. Like Bai Chen, a dragon whose ancestors managed a river, is generally equivalent to a "vassal king". ", or a foreign lord who pays tribute.

Naturally, Honglu Temple presided over the reception.

After all, he is not a human being, so it is not appropriate for the Imperial College to take him in.

It's just that time has passed, Honglu Temple has been very perfunctory in its dealings with foreign feudal clans these days, not to mention the local gods, it is unknown whether the gods will respond, so they simply ignore them.

Bai Chen said that "man will conquer the sky", and this is also the truth. Most of the human race trust their own abilities more. The means of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha are either imprisoned and helpless, or to seek peace of mind. They really rely on the blessings of gods to live. Very few.

It is also because of this special ecology of the coexistence of humans and gods that there is such a thing as Bai Chen's "family fortune".

Honglu Temple is too lazy to take care of it, and the Dragon Clan is very happy, so both sides are secretly happy, which makes one generation not as good as the previous generation. When it comes to Baichen, the "Mengjian" also exists in theory. In fact, where is the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty? Do not know at all.

On weekdays, he casually spends time in his hometown, and the ancestral gold and silver treasures are enough for him to squander, so naturally it has become a style that even dogs despise.

The second ancestor, human races are everywhere, how high can gods and monsters be.

"What are you talking about, to help Wuchao County get rid of demons, why do you still have to ask?"

"Of course there is a reason, you are not their parents, why?"

"I have the heart to eliminate the strong and help the weak, and I have the power to subdue demons and demons, so since I meet you, I will do my part!"

"Well……"

Having said that, Wei Hao also somewhat understands the characteristics of the monster-like dragon clan. Although some of them have a system of supernatural powers, they generally still have no morals and etiquette, let alone principled ethics.

There is no concept of right and wrong, which is a commonplace for human beings.

Yingying has some, but it's also because she was born in Dajiang Longshen Mansion; Wang Jiexing also has it, because her ancestors are all companion humans.

But Bai Chen played it down a lot. There is still a difference between the style of playing in the world and that of a human son. The proud son of a dignified family is the arrogance brought about by his status; but the dragon clan is different, it is nature, not arrogance.

"That……"

"I see what you mean."

Wei Hao interrupted Bai Chen's continued questioning, and said directly, "Do you know why 'Man can conquer nature'?"

"Why? Human race is not afraid of death? It's not right, everyone I have seen is afraid of death."

"This has nothing to do with fear of death." Wei Hao looked at Bai Chen, the two of them were standing at the top of the city, Wei Hao pointed to the road from Wengcheng to the inner city, densely packed with brave people transporting supplies for the defense of the city, "Because The strength of one person is weak, but the strength of many people becomes powerful."

"Today, I, Wei Hao, help the people of Wuchao County. In the future, the water and soil here will tell today's stories. The young people who grew up listening to these stories, if Wufeng County is in trouble in the future, and they happen to be there, they will naturally follow the example of their predecessors. , to help Wufeng County."

"There are many deeds of working together to overcome difficulties. Generally speaking, we still know that 'helping others and helping ourselves' is generally correct. If you think about monsters again, spirits can become stronger by eating human flesh, but spirits and monsters can become stronger with each other. Swallowing can also become stronger, which makes it possible for the ghosts to gather together, but once they encounter setbacks, they will disperse."

"A monster is afraid of being killed by people, but a monster is even more afraid of being eaten by a powerful kind."

These words were simple and simple, but Bai Chen listened with gusto. He smiled and said to Wei Hao, "I also have books at home, and they are all classics. I can't even read them. My sister said I want to read. What's the use if I can't read them?" I wanted to hire a teacher, but cockfighting and cricket fighting were very popular in Dachao Prefecture a few years ago, so I had a great time.”

Looking at the smug Bai Chen, Wei Hao shuddered, and wanted to reprimand him, but he thought that this guy is theoretically a "shadow prisoner" and has a lot of money, so where does he have the strength to talk nonsense.

"Brother-in-law Xian, you are really good, how about this, I will pay you three to fifty thousand taels a year, and you will be my student, how about it?"

"I..." Wei Hao's face twitched again. The reward offered by the county was 20 taels to 100 taels. He still took it lightly.

But these three to fifty thousand taels...

"Think about it, think about it."

Bai Chen hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, the family doesn't talk about each other. I have been wandering for a long time, and I also want to revive the family business. But Yuan Junping calculated it for me. There is a catastrophe, what can I do? Only Hurry up and do a good job in the future. I regretted that I didn’t do anything in the past. But in a short while, where can I find a virtuous teacher? Maybe they are all liars. Why don’t you take advantage of your own family and don’t bother with one thing.”

"..."

One is black and one is black, in Wei Hao's eyes, Bai Chen, the dragon family, is very incomprehensible.

However, Bai Chen himself was very excited. He felt that with Wei Daxiang's help, he could have a rough understanding of humanities, not to mention being rich in learning, at least he could be "clear".

"5 to [-] taels is a little less, but you can be regarded as a half-teacher. The gift money during the festivals and festivals must be indispensable. Although my family's ancestral river is gone, it has now become ten thousand mu of fertile land. , but the farmers who cultivate the land, every time they go to the community fire to sacrifice, it is also indispensable to my Bai family's offerings. Although it is not much, it is very easy to eat polished white rice for three meals a day..."

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it."

"Haha, thank you, brother-in-law, you don't know. Every time I go to a meeting at another house, I'm ridiculed for being ignorant. I try to cheer up, but the game is really fun..."

"..."

Seeing this guy talking non-stop, Wei Hao felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

The two continued to patrol, and Bai Chen was still talking non-stop. Just when Wei Hao was agitated, the guy suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, brother-in-law, you said that this monster is afraid of being eaten by its own kind. But if one day, your human race also eats the same kind?"

"..."

This question suddenly became more profound.

"Brother-in-law?"

Wei Hao was silent for a while, then said, "If people cannibalize people, it means that some people have become human-like monsters that cannibalize people, that's all."
