Chapter 5: The Great Swordsman Dong Qing

"Dongzhu, this is a freshly stewed old hen. Eat it while it's hot!"

Zhang Guihua came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of steaming chicken soup and an old hen. She looked at Liu Dongzhu, who was lying in front of the coffin, with a pale face, very weak and lifeless eyes, and said with heartache.

"Mom, I'm not hungry..."

Liu Dongzhu shook his head subconsciously. Before he could finish his words, Zhang Guihua interrupted him and said, "Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat something. Just for your safety!"

Wang Lin echoed, "Yes, if you don't eat, how can you have milk?"

When Liu Dongzhu was about to reach out to take the large basin, Zhang Guihua said, "Just sit here and I'll feed you!"

After saying that, Zhang Guihua picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and fed it to Liu Dongzhu.

The rich aroma of chicken soup woke Wang Pingan from his deep sleep. A newborn baby like him is the most sleepy at this time. Except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he spends the rest of the time in deep sleep.

Wang Ping'an subconsciously looked up and looked in the direction of the aroma of the chicken soup. He immediately saw an old hen with bared fangs and claws in the big basin. It looked ferocious and was about to pounce on him.

For some reason, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Wang Ping'an's mind, and he subconsciously recited the scriptures for salvation. The originally ferocious old hen suddenly calmed down.

Subsequently.

It seemed as if a ghost gate appeared in the sky, and the old hen turned into a beam of white light and drilled in!
"Ding! You saved an old hen and gained merit +1!"

Just as a mechanical and cold voice sounded in Wang Ping'an's mind, Taoist Xuanqing, who was chanting the scriptures for salvation, seemed to have sensed something and looked up, but did not see any difference.

The Taoist boy whispered, "Master, what's wrong?"

"nothing!"

Xuanqing shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Merit?"

Wang Ping'an's face was full of confusion. When he subconsciously read a system word, a light curtain appeared in front of him.

Human cub growth system
Host: Wang Pingan
Level: LV0
Energy: 16/100
Merit: 1 (Note: can upgrade talents and skills!)

Talents: Kindness in mind [beginner], a little noble spirit [beginner], maternal love, Tao heart [beginner]

Skill: Salvation [Beginner]

……

After looking at the system panel, Wang Ping'an's face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal. He was just born, but he already had so many talents. He couldn't even imagine what he would have when he really grew up.

How far can I grow!
However, I was a little surprised when I saw the additional "Merit" column, and even more surprised by the notes behind it. I didn't expect that merit would be so powerful.

Ability to upgrade talents and skills!
"Excuse me, is this Wang Ruhai's home?"

A questioning voice sounded at the door, and then a man in black with a bamboo hat and a long sword came in from outside. He looked aggressive and it was obvious that he was not easy to mess with. When he saw the mourning hall and the coffin, he frowned and said, "I wonder who passed away in the family?"

Wang Lin stood up, walked over to greet him, and said, "It was my Ruhai who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination but unfortunately lost his life!"

"Ruhai? Didn't Wang Ruhai just become the top scorer in high school?"

Dong Qing was immediately startled and asked, "Is this Wang Ruhai's home in Hutougou, Qingyang County?"

"Yes!"

Wang Lin said, "I wonder who this guest is and what does he want from my Ru Hai?"

"I am Dong Qing!"

Dong Qing replied.

Wang Lin hadn't responded yet. Xuan Qing was shocked and didn't even recite the sutra for salvation. He asked in astonishment, "But is it the great swordsman Dong Qing who slew demons and eliminated evil?"

"It's just a false name!"

Although he said this, Dong Qing's face was full of smugness that was difficult to conceal. He asked again: "Old Taoist priest, is there another person named Wang Ruhai here?" "This should be the one you are looking for!"

Xuanqing said.

"Then this..."

Dong Qing pointed at the mourning hall.

"It's a family shame..."

Wang Lin smiled self-deprecatingly. After a period of time, coupled with Niu Li's "publicity", there was no household in the entire Hutougou that didn't know what had happened in their family. Now he was not afraid of being embarrassed.

Tell him everything in detail!

Wang Lin said, "I wonder why you, Mr. Dong, are looking for this beast?"

"I originally came here to seek wealth and honor!"

Dong Qing's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He had never thought that such a thing would happen. Seeing Wang Lin's puzzled expression, he continued to speak:
"At the beginning, I met Wang Ruhai who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination in a dilapidated temple. That night, a female ghost wanted to kill him, but I saved his life. He then told me that he would promise me wealth and honor when he passed the imperial examination!"

Wang Lin said: "In this case, Master Dong, you might as well go to the capital to find that beast!"

Logically speaking, Dong Qing saved Wang Ruhai's life, and as a father, he should be grateful. But now that Wang Ruhai has done such a cruel thing, he really wishes Dong Qing hadn't saved his life.

Maybe this beast won’t do anything to let Dong Zhu down!
"I will not accept the wealth and honor of a man who has abandoned his wife and children!"

Dong Qing snorted coldly and was about to leave when he saw Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to have noticed something and his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over briskly.

Liu Dongzhu was shocked!
Wang Lin hurriedly stood in front of Dong Qing and asked nervously, "Master Dong, what are you doing?"

"Old man, can you let me take a look at your grandson?"

Dong Qing said.

For a moment, Wang Lin was a little embarrassed. Wang Ping'an was born not long ago, and Dong Qing looked so ferocious. He was afraid that he would scare Wang Ping'an, but Dong Qing knew at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not dare to refuse.

Liu Dongzhu whispered, "Master Dong, is there something wrong with my child?"

"I just think you look like the reincarnation of a good man!"

Dong Qing smiled and said, "But I still need to take a closer look to see if it's true!"

Liu Dongzhu was surprised and asked, "Master Dong, can you tell this?"

Taoist Priest Xuanqing had just said this, and she had only taken it as a nice word and had not taken it seriously. Now that even Dong Qing said so, she had to take it seriously, but she was more curious in her heart.

"Some things can't be hidden!"

Dong Qing sighed.

Liu Dongzhu said: "Actually, I don't care whether our Ping An is the reincarnation of a good man or not. I only care that our Ping An can grow up safely!"

"Yes, with this jade pendant, I can ensure that your child grows up safely!"

Dong Qing took Wang Ping'an from Liu Dongzhu, and was stunned by the jade pendant hanging around his neck. Then he turned to look at Taoist Xuanqing, only to see him smiling at him. He was the only one who had such a treasure.

After a long time, Dong Qing carefully examined Wang Ping'an, exhaled heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked like he had just been in a fierce battle.

Liu Dongzhu took Wang Pingan back and looked at the slightly weak Dong Qing, and asked worriedly: "Dong, what happened to you?"

Dong Qing smiled faintly and said, "You, kid, are most likely the reincarnation of a good person. I was afraid that he would be persecuted by evil spirits, so I injected a stream of sword energy into his body!"

"Ding! Swordsman 'Dong Qing' injects a sword energy into your body, and you gain the talent: Sword Bone [Entry Level]!"

A cold mechanical voice sounded in Wang Ping'an's mind, and the next moment Wang Ping'an could vaguely feel a small snake swimming in his body.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that sword energy!
