I have a magical tree

When he was eating before, he felt something was wrong. The teacher looked like he was prepared not to come back and was explaining his affairs as much as possible. How could this happen? It was really unlucky.

Because if this kind of plot continues to develop, it will be like asking for benevolence. He doesn't want to bear the drama of revenge for his teacher again. Isn't it better to let the teacher live directly?

Ge Lao's face was complicated, "Although the teacher is prepared and has the confidence to escape, there is no perfect plan for such a thing. If he can't come back, your teacher's wife and the teacher's young son will be entrusted to you!"

"Ah? The teacher has a child?" Xu Dao didn't care about what Ge Lao said before. It was not up to him to decide whether the teacher lived or died. He had to ask himself if he agreed.

What really surprised him was that the teacher had a child. He didn't know it before, and it was also his fault that the teacher and the teacher's wife never mentioned it.

Old Ge was stunned and pulled his beard, "Didn't I tell you about this?"

"Of course I didn't tell you?" Xu Dao was speechless. The teacher and his wife were really a perfect match.

"How could my teacher be so old without a child? The boy is eight years old now, but he has been raised at your teacher's wife's house and taken care of by your mother-in-law. He is very spoiled and probably useless!"

In fact, what Old Ge was most worried about was Xu Dao himself. As for An's child, there was no need to worry about him because An was taking care of him in the capital.

But if something happened to him, Xu Dao would have to rely on himself for everything in the future.

"In this box, in addition to a few books, there is also a talisman, a super-grade escape talisman. There were originally more than one, but my teacher needed it this time, so I only left one for you, which can save your life at a critical moment." Old Ge gestured to Xu Dao to open the box.

Sure enough, there was a piece of talisman paper in the box, but it was different from the talisman paper he had seen before. This talisman was all black, and if you didn't look closely, you could hardly see the runes on it. Moreover, this talisman paper was hard and obviously much thicker than ordinary talismans.

"Why don't you take this one with you, teacher? One more will give you one more chance!"

"I brought four. If these four can't escape, then one more won't help." Ge Lao felt that he was well prepared. In addition to talismans, there were also healing pills.

Xu Dao said no more, just closed the box and put it into his sleeve solemnly.

Nothing happened that night. Xu Dao slept for once. He felt energetic. He hadn't slept much for almost a month. Every day, he either practiced Qi training or went out of the city to hunt monsters.

Even sleeping was no longer a necessity for him.

After having breakfast at the post station in the morning, Xu Dao and others set off again. At almost noon, they finally arrived at the border of Black Mountain.

The biggest change along the way is that the rain is getting smaller and smaller, and it is completely rainless here.

This is not that the rain in Yanghe County is going to stop, but that they have left the area covered by the heavy rain.

Zhong Bo was the first to stop the horse's hooves and park the carriage next to a warning monument.

Xu Dao followed suit and stopped beside it.

Ge Lao got off the car and pointed to the warning monument and said: "If you cross here, you can really leave the area covered by the Black Mountain, which is considered to be breaking free from the cage."

"This warning monument marks the boundary of the cage. There are countless warning monuments like this, which completely enclose the entire Black Mountain." Ge Lao pointed to the distance again.

Xu Dao really saw another warning monument in the distance.

"Are you finally leaving?" Xu Dao took a deep breath and was about to step over the boundary monument, but Ge Lao stopped him.

"Teacher?" Xu Dao was puzzled.

Ge Lao shook his head, "A Bao? Get off the car!"

Xu Dao suddenly realized, but did not speak, just quietly watched Ge Lao call A Bao off the car.

He signaled Abao to cross the boundary marker.

Abao was a little confused and had no idea what was going on. He just followed his instructions subconsciously because the person who spoke was Xu Dao's teacher.

Seeing Abao crossing the boundary marker in a daze without any problems, Ge Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you can get on the bus!" Ge Lao happily took out a brocade bag from his arms and stuffed it into Abao's hand, "This thing is sweet, keep it for yourself!"

Abao was at a loss with the brocade bag. She didn't know whether she should take it or not, and she just got off the bus and walked for a while, and got a brocade bag? What happened just now?

"Take it, good stuff!" Xu Dao felt it a little and knew that the brocade bag contained three pure lotus seeds.

I have eaten a lot of these lotus seeds. Ge Lao kept giving them to me. I kept eating until the thing had no effect, and then Ge Lao stopped. It is really a good thing for strengthening the muscles and marrow and enhancing the foundation.

And Abao, who is about to start practicing martial arts, really needs this.

It was not until Abao got back on the car that Ge Lao sighed, "Xu Dao, I am not an upright person. What I did today was a mean act."

Xu Dao shook his head, "Teacher, don't blame yourself."

What can he say about this? Should he tell Ge Lao that the marks on my younger sister and the others have indeed been removed, but it was not done by Yan Chengyun, but by himself? So there is no need to worry at all?

Should he tell the teacher that this kind of thing should not be done by a little girl who knows nothing, but should be done by himself.

Xu Dao asked himself, and he found that he was not as selfless as he thought. If he himself could not determine whether the mark on his body was removed, what would he choose?

Everyone has selfishness, and Ge Lao's selfishness is to ensure Xu Dao's safety. And the relationship between Abao and him is not even at this level.

This is also the reason why Ge Lao had to ask for four quotas when he traded with Yan Chengyun.

At the same time, from then on, he also made a deal with Abao that even Abao himself didn't know about.

Using a test with a very small chance of losing his life in exchange for a chance to leave the Black Mountain cage, this deal is actually fair.

But the only thing that is not perfect and not fair is that Abao herself did not know about this deal. She passively accepted this deal.

So, Ge Lao said that he was a mean person.

"Be nicer to her in the future, as a compensation. I have been able to do things with a clear conscience for half my life, but today I broke my golden body." Ge Lao smiled, "Well, no one is perfect!"

Xu Dao didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only nod silently.

"The rest of the way will be up to you." Ge Lao signaled Xu Dao and others that they didn't need to stay any longer and could set off.

The master's wife pushed open the window, "Be careful, if you see something wrong, run away immediately."

Xu Dao also bowed solemnly: "Teacher, take care! I will send the master's wife to the city safely."

"All good children! Be obedient on the road, the city is much more lively than Yanghe County." Ge Lao came to Xu Dao's carriage, touched Xu Lu and A Bao's heads, and then he waved his hand casually and left.

Alas! What are you doing! Why are you making it seem like a life-and-death separation! Xu Dao sighed inwardly.

It seems that he has to come back this time, mainly because the teacher has set too many flags in the past few days, and he is afraid that this old man can't handle it alone.
