The Path of Evolution

Canglong was worthy of being a national hero and enjoyed special treatment both during his lifetime and after his death.

In this era of universal cremation, the relevant departments respected the wishes of Canglong's family and his body did not need to be cremated.

According to local customs, the deceased can only be buried after the first seven days of death.

Zhao Hao caught up with the last day of the funeral and arrived at the scene in the evening.

He saw many old acquaintances, such as Xiao Ma, Qingfeng, Mo'er, Dongqing from the old Pingan Inn, and even the big shopkeeper, Xu Wenjun, who was already a general.

The most eye-catching one is Cang Yun, a plain-faced woman wearing mourning clothes.

This was the first time that Zhao Hao saw the landlady without makeup. She had put aside the charm and enchantment of the past, and abandoned all the charms of the years. Her red and swollen eyes, pale skin, and haggard face were so eye-catching. Just feel heartache.

Zhao Hao respected the local customs and went through the motions to pay his respects to Canglong's body.

That look shocked Xiao Zhao extremely.

To be honest, he never believed that Canglong would die, and preferred to believe that this was a fake death.

But when he saw the body, there was no doubt that it was Canglong.

Through the eyes of the Heavenly King, Zhao Hao saw the horrific conditions inside the body.

Canglong's six gene locks were shattered by an extremely powerful energy, like six balls of paste.

The Yuan Pearl in his Dantian was also shattered by the shock, and a small current fluctuation remained in the Qi Sea.

Judging from these clues, Zhao Hao came to the conclusion that Canglong was indeed transformed into a human shape by the thunder tribulation.

Xiao Zhao had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't describe his feelings.

On this road of evolution, more and more old friends are dying on the way.

As strong as Canglong, he was once the number one person in the Mesozoic era in China, but he failed to make any further progress.

As for Zhao Ritian, who successfully ascended, he also didn't feel that he was anything special. The complicated layout of the third-order heaven was not suitable for an ant who had just ascended.

There were too many guests attending the funeral, and some people came just to enjoy the occasion. Cang Yun, who hosted the funeral, was too busy and did not communicate much with Zhao Hao. However, during the conversation, the landlady made a request, hoping that Zhao Hao would stay and discuss important matters in detail another day. Xiao Zhao was very cooperative and went to a guest room to rest after dinner.

That night, all the remaining guests went to bed early.

The first seven days refers to the seventh day after a person dies. There is a folk saying that the soul of the deceased will return home on the first seven days. Family members should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the soul returns, and then they must avoid it. The best way is to sleep. If you can't sleep, you should hide in bed. If the soul of the deceased is allowed to see his family members, it will make him miss him and affect his reincarnation as a human being.

Cang Yun did not keep vigil that night and went back to her room early.

It was approaching midnight, and Zhao Hao, who was sitting cross-legged to perform his exercises, suddenly opened his eyes.

He noticed a movement, something lingering outside his door.

The reason why he said "there is something" was because he was very sure that it was not a person or an animal like a cat or dog.

He opened his eyes wide and saw an almost transparent energy body outside the door.

The energy body lingered for a moment, finally locked on Zhao Hao's door, and actually got in through the crack in the door.

At first glance, the thing looked like a ghost in a ghost movie, taking on the transparent shape of a human.

Zhao Hao saw the appearance of the energy body clearly and couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said in shock: "Brother Cang... Canglong?"

The energy body actually nodded and responded: "Brother Zhao, it's me."

That response was not a sound, but more like a thought.

And after that idea was conveyed, Zhao Hao felt that he was Canglong's bold and rough way of speaking.

Although the world of evolution is full of wonders, Xiao Zhao has never seen ghosts, and deep down he doesn't really believe in the existence of such things.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and asked: "Brother Canglong, are you not dead?"

"You must have found the answer from my corpse." Canglong's thoughts were filled with unspeakable sadness.

Zhao Hao said weakly: "Then you...then you are now..."

Canglong understood what the other party meant and said bluntly: "I don't know what I am now."

At this point, he added: "But I know that I will disappear soon."

Encountering such an unexpected situation, Zhao Hao was surprised and saw a glimmer of hope.

If there really are ghosts in the world, wouldn't the hope of resurrecting Weiwei be greater?

He still remembered an agreement he made with Red Chili Pepper, but he couldn't remember the appearance of the girl in the agreement.

Although he couldn't remember it, he still had an idea in his mind.

Canglong went straight to the point: "Brother Zhao, I don't have much time. I want to ask you something."

Zhao Hao said very straightforwardly: "Don't say whether you want it or not. If you have anything to say, brother, just ask."

Although Canglong is currently in a ghostly state, there is still an aura of sadness spreading: "I hope you can help me take care of Yun'er when I am no longer here. The only person in this world who can save her is you, Wan Wang Zhao Brothers make everything possible.”

"Brother's words are serious. How can I be so good as my younger brother?" Zhao Hao felt that something was not right in the atmosphere and said more tactfully: "No matter what I say, Teacher Cangyun is a relative of your great hero. Even the superiors have to pay her a lot." To save face. Besides, she has a close friendship with that General Zhuang. If she encounters any trouble, she won’t need me."

"Yun'er's friendship with Yu Wenjun in her early years brought her some conveniences, but also brought her a lot of trouble. If I'm gone, this kind of trouble will get bigger and bigger." Cang Long said sharply: "When I was alive, Yun'er was indeed given preferential treatment from above. As soon as I died, this preferential treatment deteriorated. At my funeral, someone had already jumped out to propose marriage, and the reason was that they wanted to protect Yun'er throughout her life. This kind of 'protection' was based on sacrificing Yun'er. On the basis of my son’s happiness in the rest of his life.”

Zhao Hao frowned: "Who proposed the marriage?"

"One is a noble son from Beijing, and the other is the eldest young master of the Deng family in Xiaoxiang, the one you have a feud with."

The young masters who can make Canglong feel pressured have very simple backgrounds, such as Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian.

Before Zhao Hao could refuse, Canglong knelt down: "Brother Zhao, I, Canglong, have never begged anyone in my life. Today I kneel down and beg you. Please marry Yun'er and take care of her for the rest of your life!"

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhao Hao was startled and reached out to help the other person, but what he encountered with his hands was just a ball of air.

Seeing that he couldn't be helped up, Zhao Hao had no choice but to present the facts and reason: "Brother Canglong, listen to me, feelings can't be forced. If I marry Teacher Cangyun, it won't be sweet if I force myself to do it. Wouldn't it be the same as what you just said? Just like that, she also sacrificed her happiness for the rest of her life?"

"No, you are different from those people. I can trust you, and Yun'er also believes in you." Canglong still knelt down: "I am a martial arts idiot, and I don't understand the relationship between men and women. But I know that at home, Yun'er often Ever since she was a child, I have never seen her caring about a man like this. I don’t know if this counts as liking, but I think she at least has a good impression of you. There is a foundation of affection between you. I’ll leave Yun’er to you, I’ll rest assured.”
