Hearing the slightly chubby middle-aged man's words, Zhao Shen's face showed a look of great excitement.

The rules of Xuanyuan Sect are very strict, it is forbidden to go down the mountain, and it is impossible to contact the outside world.

Because, this is the power of the gods!

Gods and mortals are originally people of two worlds. He now has absolutely no idea about his family's situation.

"Uncle Shi, can I go down the mountain now?" Zhao Shen even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Haha, I guess you're homesick too. The chubby middle-aged man smiled and said, "Remember, don't be late when you come back." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shen nodded hurriedly.

His figure swept and quickly swept into the distance, obviously in the ten years of Xuanyuan Sect, his strength was already very strong.

"Hmm, Zhao Shen has come down the mountain?" On a mountain peak, Ye Xing, who was refining the elixir, noticed this scene.

Brush!

His eyes flickered, and his mind moved, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

……

It took two days for Zhao Shen to finally get close to the small city where he lived.

"I wonder how my father is doing now?"

The closer Zhao Shen is, the more nervous he is in his heart.

His father was already in poor health and was an alcoholic.

"And Uncle Ye, Xiaoting and them. Zhao Shen had a look of expectation in his eyes, and some thoughts.

He lived in the Zhao Mansion for eight years and spent ten years in the Xuanyuan Sect, but the memories of his childhood were hard for him to forget.

The strict father, the tranquil Uncle Ye, and some others.

"Let's go!" Although he was nervous, Zhao Shen's speed did not slow down at all, and he quickly flew towards the city.

Entering the city, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes inside, Zhao Shen's consciousness was even a little trance.

"It seems that the city has changed a little, but not much. ”

He remembered the scene when he and Uncle Ye went to the city, and now when he saw the familiar scene, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Knock!" "Knock!"

Suddenly, in the distance, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and many people gathered together, and the road became crowded.

Zhao Shen's heart moved, and then he flew over.

There the people on the street were clearly separated, and at this moment a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, wearing a big red robe, followed by some people behind him.

The festive sound of beating gongs and drums sounded.

I heard that when he was five years old, he could know a lot of words, read simple scriptures and meanings, and now he even won the third place in the imperial court examination!"

"That's amazing! ”

People on both sides of the street were talking and smiling.

At this time, Zhao Mo also looked at the young man of the Zhang family who looked very elegant.

In comparison, he was swarthy, and there were even some scars on his body, which were sharpened near Xuanyuan Sect.

"In ten years, I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Zhao Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he entered the Xuanyuan Sect, where gods existed, there was a trace of envy in his eyes at this time.

"When I am successful in martial arts training in the future, I will definitely study at home to see what kind of ranking I can get? I have heard that many scholars are over 50 years old. ”

He has been interested in reading since he was a child, and even after so many years, there is still a trace of expectation in his heart.

The disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect can choose to leave when they reach a certain level, but almost most of them will choose to stay.

"It's fast, with my progress rate of no more than ten years, I can learn martial arts, and when the time comes, I can ask my father about my mother's whereabouts, and I can even use my contribution points to ask some senior brothers for help. ”

Zhao Shen longed in his heart: "When my mother comes back, I will study while I will learn alchemy from Uncle Ye." ”

He longed for such a life.

The crowd quickly dispersed, and Zhao Shen quickly came to a place along the route in his memory.

But when he came to his destination, he was stunned all of a sudden.

The place in front of you, which used to be a huge mansion, turned into a ruin, and even the surrounding area was greatly affected, and there were no houses in the surrounding area.

"What's going on?" Zhao Shen's face changed suddenly, and his eyes looked at the ruins uncertainly.

This is the location of the Zhao Mansion!

"Looking at the ashes, it means that the ruins have been around for a while!" but after many things, he was not the immature child anymore, and he crouched down and quickly judged something.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhao Shen looked into the distance.

There was a figure there, looking at it.

Shout!

Suddenly, Zhao Shen walked over.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly, "Hello, may I ask what is going on here?"

He doesn't know anything now.

The middle-aged man who came here was a little scared when he saw Zhao Shen, who was swarthy and swarthy with scars on his body and a long sword on his back.

He hurriedly said: "This is the location of the Zhao Mansion, but ten years ago, a fire suddenly broke out here and burned it down. ”

"The fire ten years ago?" Hearing this, Zhao Shen's face suddenly changed.

That was the time he left the Zhao Mansion.

"Then do you know why there was a fire?" Zhao Shen continued to ask.

"I don't know. The middle-aged man shook his head and said to himself.

"At that time, many people on the street saw it, and the old Zhao family was beautiful at that time, and the kid from their family even worshiped the Xuanyuan Sect, which was a place where there were gods. ”

He was visibly nervous and said incoherently.

"After the fire, many people came to put out the fire, but these fires are very weird, no matter what, they can't be extinguished, and no one in the entire Zhao Mansion escapes... Some people say that this is a punishment from heaven, and in the end, no one dares to live in the surrounding area. ”

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Zhao Shen's face was gloomy, and his heart almost completely sank into the trough.

"How so?" he said, stunned as he stood on the ruins.

According to the middle-aged man's words, the entire Zhao Mansion died.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more, the middle-aged man quickly left the place.

"Young Master Zhao Shen. Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded.

A girl with a scar on her face looked uncertain and trotted over.

"You're... Xiaoting?" Seeing the girl in front of him and hearing his name, Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, and then said a little uncertainly.

"It's me! I'm Xiaoting, Master Zhao Shen, it's really you. The girl Xiaoting said excitedly.

At this time, Zhao Shen was even more excited, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoting, what happened here? How did you survive the fire? And what about my father? What about Uncle Ye?"

He thought everyone was dead just now, but he didn't expect that there were still people alive.

The girl Xiaoting was a little scared, and said, "Young Master Zhao Shen, I don't know about your father and Uncle Ye, I was lucky to survive." A day after you left, there was a fire here, and I happened to be outside, and I escaped. ”

"The day after leaving?" Hearing this, Zhao Shen was stunned.
