Chu Jianghe looked at the high-spirited Chu Scar in front of him, and a thick bitterness and remorse suddenly appeared on his face. He couldn't help but wonder if Chu Zhen hadn't left the Chu family, wouldn't he have ended up in such a field.

Tieji Town is not close to Huai Town, and it will encounter the Chu River here, and Chu Zhen is also very surprised.

"Chu, Chu Zhen, I'm sorry for you, our Chu family is sorry for you, the Chu family is destroyed. ”

As he spoke, Chu Jianghe burst into tears, and finally vented the bitterness that had accumulated in his heart.

"The Chu family is destroyed?"

Chu Zhen has broken away from the Chu family, but after all, it is where he grew up, after all, he has the blood of the Chu family in his body, and when he hears that the Chu family has been destroyed, he will inevitably feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

"It's Qiao's family. This is all to blame for our two brothers being short-sighted, and they annihilated the future of the Chu family for the sake of temporary interests. After Chu Tiandong died, Qiao Zhenyuan, who thought that you were also dead, had no further trouble, and took advantage of our efforts to clean up the inside of the family, and suddenly led people to attack the Chu family. We separated and resisted, but the Chu family's internal friction was too heavy to resist at all, and it was destroyed in just one night. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Jianghe was in tears, his face was full of regret and hatred, and looking at that look, he seemed to want to die headlong.

"The Chu family was destroyed, and Chu Jiangshan also died, I wanted to sacrifice my life and fight for the Chu family. But that Qiao Zhenyuan was ruthless and abolished my cultivation, but he deliberately left me alive and let me die in endless regret. ”

A touch of sadness quietly flowed from Chu Chen's eyes, but his eyes suddenly froze, and he said coldly: "I am no longer the Chu family, what does the survival of the Chu family have to do with me." This gold coin is given to you, and you can make a living for yourself. ”

The greed and cold-bloodedness of Chu Jianghe and others caused today's tragedy, which is also the price they have to pay. Chu Zhen turned his heart sideways, no longer cared about Chu Jianghe, turned his head and walked forward.

Chu Zhen's resoluteness extinguished the spark that had just ignited in Chu Jianghe's heart, but who could he blame, if Chu Zhen was still there, Qiao Zhenyuan might not dare to move the Chu family, even if he moved, the Chu family still had hope of rising. But nowadays, there is nothing.

Chu Jianghe shook his head regretfully, silently shed tears, and stood in place.

Regarding what happened in front of them, Long Yixuan and the others didn't dare to intervene, this was Chu Chen's housework, and it was up to Chu Zhen to decide what to do.

However, although Long Yixuan didn't say anything, she could see that there was a wound hidden under Chu Zhen's cold expression, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, and secretly made a decision.

found an inn to stay in, and Chu Zhen stayed alone in his room.

Knowing that Chu Zhen was in a bad mood, Long Yixuan and the others didn't bother him, so they went downstairs to eat first. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Chu Zhen to also go downstairs.

"Man, bring all the dishes and blanch a few pots of wine. ”

After ordering food and drink, Chu Zhen sat down at the table.

Long Yixuan squinted and secretly glanced at Chu Zhen, and saw that his face was as usual, and he was slightly relieved.

"What do you want to do next?"

Long Yixuan is asking questions, but also testing to see if Chu Zhen is really in the mood to deal with miscellaneous matters.

Chu Zhen didn't think about it and replied softly: "Of course, I will inquire about the news first." ”

Now that he has left the Chu family, Chu Zhen doesn't want to waste his energy on this matter anymore, not because he is ruthless, but because he can see it more clearly.

Seeing Chu Zhen's relaxed appearance, Long Yixuan's heart was finally relieved. After all, the family is a person's relatives and bloodline, no matter who it is, it is difficult to give up easily, just like Long Yixuan, she is very disappointed in her family, but many times, she still can't completely ruthlessly choose to give in.

Soon, the shopkeeper smiled and trotted all the way to the table with a tray in his hand.

"A few guest officers, these are all the specialties of the small shop, please use them slowly. ”

The shopkeeper put all the food and drinks on the table and was about to leave. But at this moment, Chu Zhen put a gold coin on the table.

When the shopkeeper saw the gold coins on the table, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He knew that Chu Zhen still had orders, so he stood in place with a smile, but his eyes never took off the gold coin.

"Shopkeeper, I wonder if I can ask you something?" Chu Jian asked with a light smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to ask, just ask, I absolutely know everything. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were already shining, and he couldn't wait to pick up the gold coins immediately, how could he have any more thoughts to hide it.

"Have you heard of any tragic bloodshed or something horrific and strange that has happened around here?"

"Strange things?"

Hearing this question, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and his eyes rolled twice, as if he remembered something.

After a while, the shopkeeper frowned and said, "I haven't heard of a murder or something, but a strange thing did happen around here." The town of Iron Ridge is famous for Iron Ridge Mountain, but in reality, none of us know what the back mountain looks like. ”

"Oh, how can this be?"

Chu Zhen and the others were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that the people in Iron Ridge Town had never even seen the back of Iron Ridge Mountain.

The shopkeeper sighed lightly and said softly, "Alas, it's not." In our place, the back mountain of Iron Ridge Mountain is a forbidden place, for hundreds of years, people who went to the back mountain to hunt and collect medicine, no one came back alive, there was no one alive, no corpse was dead, and over time, it became a forbidden place, and no one in the town dared to step into it half a step. ”

"What about the others, isn't there a powerful cultivator who went to the back mountain?"

This kind of strange place is the most attractive to cultivators who have been practicing outside, they are not ordinary people, and when they enter the Iron Ridge Mountain, they can at least retreat with their whole body.

"I heard that there are many cultivators who come here and go to the back mountain to investigate, but they have never returned, and I have never heard of anyone coming back. The shopkeeper replied truthfully.

"It's funny. ”

Chu Zhen and the others looked at each other, and they could see from each other's eyes that they were interested in this matter.

"Thank you, little brother. ”

As he spoke, Chu Zhen lightly pointed to the gold coins on the table.

The shopkeeper understood, immediately picked up the gold coin, and left with a fart laugh.

"Shall we go and take a look?"

Among this group of people, Qu Feng's position is the most awkward, although they are from the same family, but the other people are very familiar with each other, in comparison, he is like an outsider, which makes him always cautious.

Chu Zhen frowned, and said softly: "Since there is no other direction now, it doesn't hurt to explore, maybe there will be some unexpected gains." ”

"I agree, instead of running around, it's better to check it out. ”

Chu Zhen's decision, Long Yixuan will definitely not object, and immediately expressed her attitude.

"I agree, I might be able to do it again. ”

Sima Qingkong grinned expectantly, for him, a battle maniac, the last thing he was afraid of was danger.

Regarding Chu Zhen's decision, Jing and Yu Hanyi naturally would not object, so that only Qu Feng, who was still in doubt, was left.

Everyone else agreed, what else could Qu Feng say, so he had to smile awkwardly, and also agreed to go to the back mountain of Iron Ridge Mountain to have a look.

When they had no more objections, they agreed to leave early tomorrow morning, and then they had dinner and returned to their rooms.

That night, when the night was thick, a shadow quietly left the inn and came to the hillside outside Iron Ridge Town.

Long Yixuan stood with her hands in her hands and waited quietly. Suddenly, the wind suddenly rose, and two black shadows suddenly appeared behind her.

Sensing the aura behind her, Long Yixuan casually threw a piece of paper over.

"Inform me that this matter will be done as soon as possible, I don't want to wait. ”

Long Yixuan left a cold sentence and disappeared from the hillside. The other two bowed respectfully and disappeared.
