After I Picked Up a Shadow Guard

This is a world where humans, demons, and ghosts coexist. There was an exorcist named Zhong Yi'an, who had no grand ambitions and was content to keep the peace wherever he could. When he heard that ghosts and monsters had appeared nearby and the villages were looking for someone to get rid of them, he thought it over and decided to go. He just didn't expect... At a mass grave, Zhong Yi'an stepped over a field of bones and found someone on the brink of death. His black robes were torn and stained with blood. Deathly energy clung to him, and ghostly shadows swirled around him. Black robes... a shadow guard... Zhong Yi'an sighed softly, moved by compassion. "...Would you like to come with me?" The man in black struggled for a long time but couldn't get up. His hollow, lifeless eyes remained fixed on the exorcist. Zhong Yi'an brushed a hand over the man's acupoints, then bent down and picked up the unconscious man. "I'll take that as a yes." From then on, the mystic Zhong Yi'an had a shadow guard named Zhong Wuyou. They traveled together, taking in the sights, catching ghosts, and banishing demons... And, as a bonus, solving his partner problem. P.S.: 1. Cai Gu will try to update every other day. There may occasionally be a surprise daily update. If I can't update every other day, I'll post a leave notice. 2. All the information about demons and monsters in this story comes from Zhang Yun's Chinese Tales of Monsters. Coming soon: The Savior Only Wants to Raise a Loyal Dog Enter the martial world, search for treasure, save the people. Lu Chenyuan never expected to meet someone like him. The first time they met, he was covered in wounds and barely alive. The second time, he was dressed in black robes and had his face hidden behind a black veil. His dark eyes held a bone-chilling murderous intent. By the third time they met, the man was gravely wounded and near death, with nothing but desolation in his eyes. Lu Chenyuan took him home. Eyes that beautiful shouldn't be allowed to disappear. After avenging his great enemy and having his martial arts crippled, Mo Yingxue saw nothing but red. He quietly watched his benefactor walk toward him, step by step. His benefactor had saved his life. He owned nothing and had no way to repay him. If his benefactor didn't mind, he could leave his ruined body in his hands and offer himself in return. Whether it was testing medicine or punishing him, he was tough enough to take it. But... Why was this "repayment" nothing like what he had imagined? Lu Chenyuan: "You chose to repay me by giving yourself to me, didn't you?" Theme: When you run into setbacks, don't give up too easily. Hold on a little longer, and a wonderful life is waiting ahead.
