Chapter 14: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

"Am I dead?"

Chen Guo still had some consciousness left in his mind, trying to open his eyes and look at the world again, but he couldn't feel any reaction from his body.

"Is this the end of my miserable life?"

Chen Guo thought with annoyance, and the scenes that he usually deliberately forgot vaguely recalled.

"Grandpa, do you know where my parents are?"

"Good boy, as long as you cultivate well, you will meet your parents again one day. Many memories have long been blurred in Chen Guo's mind, but this scene will always be remembered in Chen Guo's heart.

Chen Guo was abandoned in a place when he was very young, and an old man who happened to pass by picked him up and adopted him, and he wandered with the old man everywhere along the way, until one day the old man took Chen to Luofu City, and settled here.

"Grandpa, why did you name me Chen Guo? One day, ten-year-old Chen Guo asked the old man who was lying on the grass bed in his arms in a broken house.

"Hey, Chen is grandpa's surname, and it's a life of life, grandpa hopes that you can cultivate quickly, so that grandpa can live a good life when you grow up. The old man smiled and stroked Chen Guo's head with his hand.

"If you cultivate well, you can live a good life?" asked Chen Guo with wide eyes.

"Grandpa, I can finally sense my true yuan, and I can still use it, I can cultivate!" fifteen-year-old Chen Guo raised his left hand full of true yuan in the dilapidated house and shouted at the old man.

"Good boy, keep working hard, and soon you will be able to surpass grandpa. The old man sat on the chair and touched his white short beard, and looked at the elated Chen Guo with a kind face.

Although Chen Guo never knew who his parents were, the time with the old man was so beautiful, but until one day that incident happened.

In order to earn spirit stones to support Chen Guo's daily cultivation, the old man often sold the ice condensing talisman he made in the city.

It was also due to the fact that all the spirit stones he earned were given to Chen Guo, causing his cultivation to have been stagnant, and there was only the triple level of the Void Yuan Realm.

On that day, the old man was setting up a stall in the city to sell ice talismans, but he was surrounded by a group of disciples of Tianmingmen.

Because the old man set up a stall on the most crowded shop street in the south of the city, he had to pay tribute to Tianmingmen, but the old man who paid taxes on time on weekdays had never seen such a scene now.

The old man stood up, arched his hands and hurriedly asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

"Old man, this month, the taxes to be collected by our Tianmingmen will rise, from one lower grade spirit stone every five days to one a day. The Tianming Sect disciple led by him shouted domineeringly.

"Masters of Tianmingmen, the small business is just a small business, where can you pay so many taxes. ”

The old man cowered and waved his hand at the Tianming Sect disciple in front of him.

"Don't come to this set, our Tianmingmen is the head snake here, you can have as much as you want, don't bargain, otherwise you won't have your good fruit to eat." Another Tianmingmen disciple scares at the old man with a hideous face.

"Okay, uncle, the small ones really can't take out so much. The old man, who was thinking of storing spirit stones for Chen Guo, knelt down towards them, and kept kowtowing and begging.

"Less nonsense, dead old man is long-winded, call me. The Tianmingmen disciples led directly kicked the old man to the ground, and then the rest of the disciples rushed up and punched and kicked the old man......

When Chen Guo picked the ice grass in the forest outside the city and came to the old man's stall with a medicine basket on his back, he found that the old man was already lying in a pool of blood without any consciousness.

"Grandpa, wake up, grandpa!" Chen Guo cried as he hugged the old man's corpse.

But the person in his arms did not respond again, and lay quietly and quietly.

It wasn't until later that Chen Guo learned from others that it was Luo Sanguang of Tianmingmen who took the lead in beating the old man to death that day, but even if he knew, what could he do, after all, Luo Sanguang at that time had already stepped into the True Thought Realm, and Chen Guo was only a cultivator in the Void Yuan Realm.

"Grandpa, I can draw the Ice Talisman!" Eighteen-year-old Chen Guo held up the crooked Ice Talisman on the table and shouted happily behind him.

“......”

But there was no familiar figure behind him, and no one responded, Chen Guo's eyes instantly turned red, and his eyes were moist.

Since then, Chen Guo has vowed that he must cultivate hard and be stronger than others, so that he will not be bullied and live a good life.

"But what's the use of thinking about it now? ”

Chen Guo said softly in his mind, those things are just like a world away from his current self.

For the sake of heroes and beauty, he has already died.

I wonder what Xiaobai will think when he wakes up and sees my current appearance?

I don't want to die, I want to earn more spirit stones, marry a lot of beautiful female cultivators as wives, and I want to continue to cultivate to become stronger and avenge my grandfather.

Chen Guo shouted desperately in his mind, but who could save him.

If I could survive, I would definitely be the strongest person in the world.

Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light shining in Chen Guo's mind.

"Huh, what's going on?"

Just when the consciousness in Chen Guo's mind felt doubtful, the glimmer of light actually became bigger and bigger, making Chen Guo feel very dazzling.

Chen Guo could suddenly sense that there seemed to be a mysterious and powerful energy brewing in his body.

Chen Guo moved his eyelids and found that he could actually open his eyes.

"Hey, aren't I dead?"

When he opened his eyes, he gently raised his head and looked at his body, and found that a burst of white light lit up on his fragmented flesh, and then turned into a little white light, floating strangely.

Chen Guo squinted slightly, and vaguely saw that the slightest bit of white light seemed to be repairing his injured parts.

"What the hell is going on?"

This magical scene made Chen Guo very surprised, secretly surprised, but he didn't dare to make any moves, just quietly watched the changes in front of him.

After a while, the slightest bit of light gradually dissipated, and Chen Guo was pleasantly surprised to find that new flesh had grown in the abdominal cavity where the bones had been blown out, and the miserable hands and feet had become intact, and the rest of the injured parts of the body had been repaired.

"Was it all a dream?"

Seeing such a scene, Chen Guo held back the joy in his heart, stood up hard, and couldn't help but start to move his hands and feet, although his body was intact, but the broken linen clothes he was wearing seemed to tell Chen Guo that what happened just now was not a dream, it really happened.

Finding that his hands and feet could be controlled very flexibly, Chen Guo couldn't help but have doubts.

But in the palm of his hand, a light suddenly lit up, Chen Guo hurriedly opened his palm to watch, and found that there was a Tai Chi pattern flashing in his palm, which reminded Chen Guo of one thing, and said happily: "Yin and Yang beard! I actually forgot about it." ”

"Huh?"

After the Tai Chi pattern in his palm dimmed, Chen Guo put his hand down, and suddenly felt that his body seemed to have a majestic energy wandering, so he settled his mind, ran his own true yuan, and sensed the changes in his body, but found that there was suddenly another yuan sea in the place where he originally had four yuan seas.

"Ah, why did I suddenly become the fifth level of the Void Yuan Realm?" Feeling the change in himself, Chen Guo's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief. "Could it be that this yin and yang must make me a blessing in disguise, and my cultivation can be taken to the next level?"

"Is this it?"

Suddenly, there was a cacophony of human voices at the entrance of the cave, and then the light of some torches appeared, shaking at the entrance of the cave.

"Someone can't be coming, right?"

Because I understand that this world is the law of the jungle, I am now alone in the cave, if I meet a group of villains, they will kill people here and sell goods, it will be really unjust.

Chen Guo thought in his heart, and couldn't help but become flustered, squatted down and quietly hid behind a boulder a few feet behind him, observing the situation at the entrance of the cave.

In the faintly lit cavern, you can vaguely see some black-robed people walking in with torches, and they are looking around with torches, as if they are looking for something.

"How could it be them. Chen Guo muttered in a low voice.

It turned out that Chen Guo carefully observed their appearance through the light, but found that these black-robed people turned out to be from Tianmingmen, Chen Guo held his breath and did not dare to make any sound.

"Helper, only a few blood-streaked wolf corpses were found here, and I didn't see the Mai man that the eldest lady said. ”

"Oh, was that person run away? Searching the cave carefully, Nian Nian told me that this person has a thunder spell on his body, and he can't let him run away. ”

"Yes. ”

A few words came out among the group of people, and when Chen Guo heard it, his heart chuckled.

"Could it be that Xu Niannian betrayed?"

Chen Guo couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, thinking that he had already died in order to save Xu Niannian, and he was actually kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and turned his head and sold himself.

Suddenly, several people from Tianmingmen came in the direction of Chen Guo with torches, Chen Guo's face became pale, he held his breath, put his body into the boulder, and said silently in his heart: "Please can't see me." ”

As if to fulfill Chen Guo's words in his heart, those people didn't find Chen Guo behind the boulder, but just walked straight into the depths of the cave with torches.

After a while, Chen Guo breathed slowly, and through the light in the cave, Chen Guo vaguely saw that there were still two people standing at the entrance of the cave, as if they were talking about something, so they had to observe quietly.

"Helper, if we catch that person, how can the eldest lady explain it to her?"

"Hmph, that brutal girl, she dared to run around and was almost eaten by the Weaving Snow Spider, I will only settle her account with her when I go back, and that person, there is actually a thunder spell on his body, even I am a little coveted, if I am obedient and hand it over, if I toast and don't eat and drink, even if I save my daughter, I can only be sorry, knock off all the bones on his body, and force him to hand it over. ”

"The helper is wise, and the little one admires. ”

"Don't be a sycophant, Wu Fan, let's go, let's go in and have a look. ”

The words of the conversation between the two faintly reached Chen Guo's ears.

I see, that Xu Niannian is the daughter of the Tianmingmen gang leader, she didn't betray me, and kindly called someone to save me, it was this Tianmingmen gang leader who had bad intentions.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Guo saw the figure of the old man in his heart, his eyes turned red, his nose was sour, and he secretly hated in his heart, "I must cultivate stronger, and when the time comes, my entire sect will be wiped out." ”

"Click"

The two of them held torches and stepped on the stones on the ground to make a sound, which made Chen Guo put away what he was thinking in his heart and quietly held his breath.

After the two of them walked past Chen Guo and walked towards the cave for a few breaths, Chen Guo eased his mind and observed the surrounding situation before quietly walking out of the cave.
