Zhong Jiudao returned home smoothly before the life-sustaining light went out. He slowly opened his eyes, but Patriarch Zhong did not wake up on the other side and was still in a coma.

Mother Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the life extension lamp, closed the magic circle, held her forehead and shook her body slightly.

"Mother!" Zhong Jiudao helped Zhong's mother up, knowing that she was exhausted after maintaining the formation for so long.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Mother Zhong put her palm on Patriarch Zhong's head, confirming that his soul had returned, and that it was intact and undamaged.

"Go back and rest, I will take care of you here." Zhong Jiudao said.

Mother Zhong shook her head, looked at her son and said, "You've been there for too long, did you meet Wu Xingze and Duohunling? After a fierce battle, has your soul power been damaged?"

"I'm fine." Zhong Jiudao was actually very tired, but he was young and strong, and he was always more resilient than his mother.

He briefly recounted what happened before, emphasizing Luo Huai's contribution in it.

Luo Huai is just an ordinary person, and he shouldn't be allowed to get too close to the world of celestial masters. It's good for him to live safely like this. There is no need to attract the attention of the world of celestial masters, and there is no need to contact this supernatural world.

But there were no outsiders here, only his cousins ​​and Zhong Jiudao's biological mother who had seen the magic of Luo Huai. For some reason, he wanted to let his mother know how much Luo Huai had contributed to this matter.

"Thanks to Luo Huai, I was able to dispose of Wu Xingze's mana unscathed," Zhong Jiudao said. "Tomorrow, Erfang and Wu's family will send some Wu Xingze's hair, blood and underwear, and just cast spells to find his whereabouts. Without mana, I can't hide my whereabouts."

"It turns out that you took so many jades and gave them to that child. Luo Huai is the last child who successfully escaped from the villa in "Fallen House", right?" Mother Zhong glanced at Zhong Jiudao and asked calmly.

She didn't expect that she also knew about "Fallen House", and she probably watched the movie secretly without the owner's back.

"It's him." Zhong Jiudao nodded, "He... has a special physique and is easier to attract ghosts. After all, he is an employee of the company. I just gave him some magic weapons for self-defense. I didn't expect to use them on myself in the end. It’s just that good people get rewarded.”

"Since you think so, then it must be so." Mother Zhong's eyes were full of wisdom, as if she understood something.

Zhong Jiu said: "???"

Mother seemed to have never looked at herself with such eyes.

"Your father's soul has returned to his place, and Wu Xingze, a scum, can't make any troubles anymore. You should leave overnight, lest the Patriarch wake up tomorrow and find you so humiliated that he wants to die." Mother Zhong suddenly became indifferent and ruthless. Get up, immediately catch up with Zhong Jiudao and leave home.

Zhong Jiu said: "...you don't have to be so anxious, at least wait until you find Wu Xingze's whereabouts tomorrow. It's late at night during Chinese New Year, so it's not convenient to find a car to pick me up in the mountains."

"The family sent a car to take you off." Zhong's mother lowered her eyes and said.

Zhong Jiudao felt that Zhong's mother's attitude was a little strange. Although she didn't say some things, Zhong Jiudao could feel that the opinions of his mother and father were contradictory.His father wanted to drive him out of the house, but his mother objected on the surface, but in fact secretly transferred some money to him, Zhong Jiudao thought it was unnecessary, so he returned it.

Also, every time my father lost his temper, my mother would remind him a little in advance, lest he be punished by his father.

The fact that he can go home during the Chinese New Year is also the benefit of Zhong Jiudao's mother persuading his father.

At that time, Mother Clock said to the furious father: "It's fine if you don't come back on weekdays, and it doesn't look like coming back during the New Year. He has no source of income, and life is usually hard. Now when he comes home for the New Year, he sees life at home. Maybe he decides to return to the world of celestial masters in a moment of excitement."

After thinking about it, Patriarch Zhong felt that it made sense. Every time he went home during the Chinese New Year, Zhong Jiudao could see a more sumptuous dinner than in previous years. He used to eat on ordinary plates, and the old man Zhong almost took out all the jade wares to use as tableware for Chinese New Year.He wore gold and silver all over his body. He did not know where he got a gold chain weighing two or three catties and hung it around his neck. He had jade walnuts coiled in his hand. The walking stick was made of sandalwood. Even the carpet in front of the door They must use good silk, wishing to move out all the things in the warehouse to let Zhong Jiudao see what kind of wealth he has missed.

Zhong Jiudao knew clearly that his mother did not do this to persuade him to go home.Zhong's mother knew this son very well, and knew that even if he was hit badly, he would not change his decision.The reason why she coaxed the head of the family to make such a decision was just to have a reunion dinner with her son during the Chinese New Year.

Otherwise, after going away for more than ten years, Zhong Jiudao will miss a lot of time when he returns home with his parents already graying hair.

Today he obviously had a legitimate reason to stay at home, but his mother wanted to drive him away, leaving Zhong Jiudao at a loss.

"I thought that you would return to Zhong's family after you have left the world of celestial masters for more than ten years and wandered outside enough." Mother Zhong said lightly, "Even if you don't come back, when you have children, if your children are more talented, You can also come back to inherit the family business. But I didn’t expect that you might not even have any heirs in the future. The owner of the family is not in good health these days. If he finds out about this after waking up, he will be really angry. You go back temporarily Stay out of the limelight."

While talking, she even took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Zhong Jiudao: "Luo Huai saved the Patriarch. I am extremely grateful and I can't repay you. This jade pendant was given by the Patriarch on behalf of the Patriarch when I got married, and I have cared for it for several For ten years, the magic power is astonishing. If you give this thing to Luo Huai, it will be my thank you."

Zhong Jiu said: "???"

"That's not necessary, I still have a lot of jade wares brought from the warehouse at home, just give Luo Huai one more." Zhong Jiudao refused.

"What you gave is yours. This is my heart. How can it be the same?" Zhong's mother said.

Zhong Jiudao couldn't hold back his mother, so he had no choice but to accept the jade pendant. He was full of doubts, and was pushed out of the door by his mother: "Okay, let's go down the mountain."

Zhong Jiu said: "...No matter how anxious my mother is, I can't wait for tonight. I have to treat my father's eyes."

Mother Zhong shook her son's hand and said, "The Patriarch's eyes were not injured by Yin Qi, but were gouged out by a ghost. There is no possibility of healing."

"I know, but other eyes can be transplanted." Zhong Jiudao said.

"I've only heard about cornea replacements, but I haven't heard that modern medicine can transplant the whole eyeball." Zhong's mother said, "Don't think I'm uneducated and understand nothing".

"Modern medicine can't, but the magic of the celestial masters can, but this eye must be special, it can connect all the optic nerves autonomously, and it can also activate some dead nerves." Zhong Jiudao said.

"What kind of eyes can do this? The eyes of a fairy?" Mother Zhong didn't believe Zhong Jiudao's words.

"There is indeed such a pair of eyes, and they are a pair of yin and yang eyes," Zhong Hongyi who heard their conversation walked over and said, "The original owner of the eyes is also righteous enough, there is no one more suitable for the owner of the family."

"May I ask where the eyes come from?" Mother Zhong asked.

"Better not." The three cousins ​​of the Zhong family said in unison.

Mother Zhong: "Will it cause any harm to the Patriarch?"

"Probably not," Zhong Hongyan said, "I've heard that some heart transplant patients will have the same behaviors and habits as the heart provider after recovery, but it is a heart after all. This is a pair of eyes and will not affect the heart. too much."

Zhong's mother was silent for a while and said: "The head of the family was seriously injured, and it is impossible to recover his eyes. Jiu Dao refused to go home to inherit the family business. The Zhong family's offshoots are already ready to move."

"The Patriarch started to seize power just after he fell into a coma?" Zhong Hongyi asked.

She is an ambitious person and always wants to resist the control of the Zhong family, but she also knows that the problem of the Zhong family does not lie with the owner alone, and whoever becomes the owner will have the same fate as the juniors.What was wrong was this decadent family that couldn't keep up with the times, not a certain person.

Moreover, a group of patriarchs who are gearing up to fight for power and profit as soon as the patriarch falls ill will not be as good as the old stubborn, at least this old stubborn knows to strictly abide by the rules of the celestial master world.

"Tomorrow is the big ancestor worship. After the head of the family falls ill, who will worship the ancestors is a big deal. The person who leads everyone to worship the ancestors is very likely to become the next head of the family. In the past, when the head of the family was busy, the second room was always the agent. Now There is a scum in the second room, they are not well supervised, they lose their qualifications, and the subordinates have gone crazy, I have a headache when I hear it, and I really want to set up a magic circle to knock them all out, and spend a peaceful year." Zhong's mother said.

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

Mother seemed to have grown stronger since he left, and each time she came back she was more determined than the last.

"Even if the head of the family can transplant eyes, it is impossible to worship the ancestors this year. Let Jiu Dao replace him, his strength can overwhelm others." Zhong Hongyan said.

"No," Zhong Hongyi objected. "Ancestor worship is very important. Zhong Jiudao has his own things to do. Once he participates in the ancestor worship, it means that he is ready to take over the Zhong family. Believe it or not, he will worship the ancestors tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Someone arranged a blind date for him, and within ten days they will force him to marry and take over the Zhong family after marriage."

This set of procedures is familiar to Zhong Hong, and worshiping ancestors will become an irresistible excuse. They use this excuse to force Zhong Jiudao to submit step by step.

Zhong's mother said: "I didn't intend to use him at first. Even if the Patriarch's eyes can't be recovered, I don't intend to let other people take charge of the Zhong family. I will temporarily take over the Patriarch's place. I will choose a younger generation with similar mana and rules in a few days." , entrusting the Zhong family to him is better than those people."

"But a woman..."

As soon as Zhong Hongyan started talking, Zhong Hongyi and Zhong Jiudao looked at him together, and shut up immediately.

"Heal the Patriarch first, and I will push him to help him worship the ancestors tomorrow." Mother Zhong said.

"I'll ask someone to send the eyes here," Zhong Jiudao said.

He picked up the phone and saw the missed call from Luo Huai, his heart warmed up, and he really wanted to call back.But now the business is important, and when he is alone later, he will send a message to Luo Huai.

"Is the eyeball still there?" Zhong Jiudao called Qian Duoqun.

"Yes, Brother Qiu came to accompany me to celebrate the New Year, and he also advised me to drink less, saying that wine table culture is bad." Qian Duoqun probably drank too much, and his tongue is a bit big.

Zhong Jiudao: "Tell him that the eye transplant recipient has been found. He is an elderly celestial master who sticks to the laws of celestial masters. He is almost 60 years old this year. Ask him if he would like it?"

"Ah?!" Qian Duoqun woke up suddenly, and he stood up straight, "So fast! I haven't gotten along with him enough! No, I mean, isn't 60 too old? Brother Eyeball originally Immortal, if it is on that person, the time is too short, not enough to see the world."

"The eyeballs are immortal. Even if that person is a hundred years later, these eyes can still be passed on to the next generation of people in need. Until one day, the eyeballs will see the world he wants to see, and he will pass away in relief." Zhong Jiudao explain.

"That's it, but I..." Qian Duoqun touched the eyeballs hanging on his chest like a necklace, feeling very reluctant.

But he still conveyed this matter to the eyeball, the eyeball didn't think for too long, and quickly agreed.

"I'm going to send the eyeballs right now, Director Zhong, which hospital did you get your eyes changed? Can I go? I want to send brother eyeballs." Qian Duoqun said.

"Okay, you come." Zhong Jiudao said his address, and asked someone to pick him up at the high-speed rail station.

Qian Duoqun's house is quite close to the city where Zhong's family is located, and it takes two hours to get there by plane.It's past 12 o'clock in the evening, and if he buys a plane at [-] o'clock in the evening, he will probably arrive at Zhong's house at [-] o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Early morning is the time when the day turns from black to white, from darkness to light at dawn, the best time in terms of time Good for changing eyes.

After getting the address, Qian Duoqun rushed to Zhong's house overnight.

Qian Duoqun sat on the plane, looking at the dark sky.

At first, he was afraid of eyeballs, and he appeared in every place all the time, scaring him out of his wits.Under the stare of his eyes, he learned to go to bed early and get up early, to save money, not to swear, and to be an upright person.

In the past, Qian Duoqun could be said to be rolling in the market. He had seen all kinds of people, and he had developed a bad habit.Now following Zhong Jiudao's sudden prosperity, he always feels a little swollen because of the many flatterers around him. If it wasn't for Brother Eyeball staring at him, he would have almost forgotten his surname, and would have been mixed with a group of people, step by step. Into the abyss of depravity.

Now he doesn't dare to do bad things, he doesn't dare to spend money recklessly, and he goes home immediately after discussing business affairs, for fear of being glared at by Brother Qiu.In order to be a cultivated person, he spends all his spare time reading books these days, his whole temperament has changed a lot, and he looks quite educated.

He successfully survived the expansive period of getting rich, all under the supervision of Brother Eyeball.

Qian Duoqun knows that Brother Eyeball likes to watch the beautiful world, so he specially took out a lot of savings during the Chinese New Year, bought a lot of things and sent them to orphanages and nursing homes. It's ugly.

Although he was a bit embarrassed, he lived a fulfilling and happy life, and Brother Eye Ball also praised him.

At that time, Brother Eyeball said: "The old and the old and the old, the young and the young and the young, this kind of life is really good."

Qian Duoqun knew that the lives of children in orphanages were always worse than those of normal families, but the current welfare facilities are hundreds of times better than those of decades ago.

Brother Eyeball is happy, and he also finds it meaningful.I used to feel empty no matter how much money I earned, and I always wanted to prove that I was rich by spending money like crazy and trampling on the dignity of others, but now I understand what it means to "give roses to others, and the fragrance will remain in your hands".

Even if it was forced at first, everything seems to be developing positively.

Maybe he drank too much, and many images flashed in Qian Duoqun's mind. The various things he had spent together in the past six months were both absurd and interesting, and they were more fulfilling than he had been in the past 20 years.

"You're gone, who's going to stare at me as a capitalist?" Qian Duoqun cried while covering his face.

Eyeballs rubbed against his chest, as if to say, "You won't be like that anymore."

The author has something to say: Mother Zhong: My son has already chosen a partner, and it's time for me to give away the jade pendant passed down from generation to generation to my daughter-in-law.

Zhong Jiudao: Why do you send this thing?

Zhong's mother: ...a very smart son, why is he a bit stupid in this respect?
