2601 The big-bearded man's request _1
After noticing that Tang Zhen was looking at him with a trace of scrutiny, the big-bearded man hesitated for two seconds before he got up and cupped his hands together in a bow.
"Little brother, I can see that you're a clever person. I'm sure you've already noticed that something is wrong and feel that my enthusiasm is a bit excessive.
To tell you the truth, I do have a matter that I need to trouble you with, and it's very important to me, and only you can help me with it. "
When the big-bearded man spoke up to this point, he saw that Tang Zhen did not reveal a disgusted expression. He continued to explain in a soft voice,"Even if I don't say it, I'm sure you can feel it, little brother. The current situation is getting more and more dangerous.
Because of the demonic energy, the monster could appear around you and me at any time, and every time it appeared, it would be a disaster.
I've seen that scene with my own eyes. It's simply tragic to the extreme.
Now you should know why there are so many empty houses in the city. It's because the original owner's whole family is dead!"
The big-bearded man shook his head, and his face showed a trace of pity. It must be that what he had experienced in the past had left a heavy shadow in his heart.
After finishing a glass of wine, the bearded man said in a muffled voice, " "Even cultivators like us can't guarantee that we can come back alive every time we go out on a mission, let alone ordinary people.
It doesn't matter if I die. I'm used to the cold and harsh of life and know that's what life is like.
But I really can't let go of my son and daughter. I'm afraid that they'll encounter monsters, and then even their bodies won't be able to be found.
Whenever I thought about this, I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep at night.
After pondering for a while, I thought of a solution to the problem. Rather than being so worried, I might as well take the initiative to make changes.
I want my daughter and son to become cultivators, so that they can protect themselves when they encounter monsters. Although they will face more threats, they will be much stronger than ordinary people.
It's just that becoming a cultivator isn't easy, and there are countless people in the city waiting for this opportunity. Although I have a wide range of friends, I'm really powerless in this regard.
Cultivators of loucheng don't allow people to cut the queue and they won't take special care of them, so I can only think of a way myself.
I plan to gather a few brothers that I can trust, and then form a team to enter the ruins, bringing my children with me.
Brothers, help me control the monster, and then let my son and daughter kill it. This way, we will have a chance to become cultivators!"
The big-bearded man looked at Tang Zhen with a trace of begging in his eyes. He said in an earnest tone,"I know that doing this will put you at risk, but brother, you can rest assured that big brother will definitely not let you do it in vain.
When this matter is over, big brother will definitely reward you handsomely, and I can also promise that if you have such a request in the future, big brother will help you even if I have to die!"
Tang Zhen had already understood the big-bearded man's plan when he heard this.
It was a pity that all parents in the world had the same heart. Everything the bearded man did was for his children to live.
Compared to the terrified mortals, the big-bearded man could clearly see further, or it could be said that he was more aware of how terrible this catastrophe was.
For the sake of his children, he was actively trying to find a way to protect himself, and becoming a cultivator was the best way.
Although cultivators also had to take risks, their chances of survival were much higher than ordinary people.
The problem was that becoming a cultivator wasn't as simple as one might think. Certain conditions were required to trigger it, and the chances of death were very high.
Monsters were definitely not like what cleansing wind city had advertised, where one could easily kill a monster after hitting its vital points.
Under normal circumstances, a monster could kill ten strong men without armor or weapons. When cultivators fought with monsters, the monsters usually had the upper hand.
The reason why Lou Cheng cultivators could kill monsters as easily as chopping vegetables was that their techniques and experience were far superior to those of the native cultivators.
If the native cultivators wanted to kill monsters, they basically had to form a team and fight hard before they could kill the monsters.
This was only for dealing with monsters that were alone. If it was a group of monsters, they would not have to consider how to kill the monsters, but how to protect their own lives.
It could be said that without the participation of the cultivators in loucheng, even if the natives had a shortcut to become cultivators, their situation would be very difficult.
Take cleansing wind city as an example. If it wasn't for the Lou Cheng cultivators, they wouldn't have been able to stop the monsters in the ruins, and cleansing wind city would have long been reduced to ruins.
Therefore, the big-bearded man's request was not as simple as he had imagined. He had to bear a considerable risk.
In the process of the operation, the slightest mistake could lead to the complete annihilation of the entire Army.
According to Tang Zhen's guess, the big-bearded man should have begged many people before, but not many people would agree to help.
The big-bearded man was so anxious that he must have racked his brains to think of a way, and even tried to find any doctor in a hurry.
After meeting Tang Zhen, the big-bearded man felt that Tang Zhen was very honest, and this idea once again appeared in his mind.
He chose to tell the reason honestly mainly because he was afraid that Tang Zhen would hate him after he knew the truth.
If his children were to be implicated and something happened, the bearded man would regret it.
However, if he knew about it now, it would be equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Tang Zhen finding a way to settle the score. This was because the big-bearded man did not lie to him.
Under normal circumstances, most cultivators would refuse the big-bearded man's request, because it was a very risky thing to do.
Even if the bearded man paid and promised, he would feel that it was not worth it and would refuse.
However, Tang Zhen was different. He became a cultivator in a daze. He didn't understand many things and was in a state of ignorance.
Such a young man was impulsive, hot-blooded, and knew how to be grateful.
The bearded man enthusiastically helped him run around and told him the truth at the same time, which could easily win the favor of this young man.
Therefore, when the big-bearded man put on a good attitude and sincerely begged, perhaps out of consideration for his feelings, or perhaps out of impulse, he would directly nod and agree.
Therefore, this big-bearded man might look rough, but he was actually very meticulous. He was not as simple as he looked.
Unfortunately, Tang Zhen, who was in front of him, was a master of creation from the fifth battle area. He did not come to cleansing wind city to seek protection, but to assassinate the highest ruler of the city.
He thought that he had seen through Tang Zhen, but in reality, Tang Zhen had seen through him long ago.
However, Tang Zhen did not intend to refuse. Instead, he was pondering whether he should take this opportunity to enter the remains and take a look.
When the big-bearded man saw that Tang Zhen did not immediately agree, he could not help but feel anxious in his heart. Such a good opportunity was really too rare. He did not want to easily miss it.
Hence, he gritted his teeth and said to Tang Zhen,"Little brother, as long as you agree to help, I'll let my daughter marry you and let her be your wife. That should be fine, right?
Don't worry, my daughter is very beautiful, she's definitely a good match for you!"
Tang Zhen glanced at the big-bearded man and felt that this person was very interesting.
It seemed like he was forced to marry his daughter off, but in fact, the bearded man was not at a disadvantage.
First, it could tempt Tang Zhen to help. Second, it could rope in a cultivator and strengthen his own strength.
This was a deal that was guaranteed to profit and not lose. As for whether his daughter was willing or not, big beard didn't care at all.
The daughter could understand his painstaking efforts.
Anyone could be a husband, and the so-called love was far less important than keeping one's life.
Moreover, in the face of this calamity, there were many times when one simply had no choice. One could only struggle desperately.
