Chapter 221: Departure
After the end of Chu Nichen's big competition, he advanced to build the foundation, and with chance and hard work, he is now a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Have you really thought about it? Now is the time when the Zhao family is in ruins, and there are a lot more contact matters with the Chu family than usual, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things to do as a liaison officer, which is very likely to affect your cultivation. ”
"I'm not afraid!" he raised his head, his face full of seriousness, and his heroic face was full of determination, "I have always had a person to look up to, and now, I want to chase him, from behind him, to his side, and then side by side, on a road. ”
"I want to protect him with my own strength, even if I don't have as much strength as him, at least, I can be his last piece of armor. ”
He raised his hand and raised the treasure talisman above his head, "Nitrate dust is already very ashamed that he can't protect the eldest lady this time, and please take back the treasure talisman, the future of the Chu family is on your shoulders, and thousands of people in Chu rely on your protection, please also take care of yourself, don't make any mistakes." ”
"Gundust...... You. ”
Chu Xiaoyue had a little hesitation between her eyebrows, Chu Nichen paused, and when she spoke again, she was already a little hoarse.
"I don't know what's going to happen in the future, and I don't know when the Fallen Soldiers will come. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe today, today is the last day of peaceful life, and no one can guarantee that they will survive after that day comes. There are some things that I am afraid that if I don't do them again, I will not have a chance in the future. I still have a little hope, I still want to try, can you fulfill me?"
Fulfill...... These two words were spoken softly, and fell on her ears, but they seemed to carry a thousand weights.
After a while, Chu Xiaoyue looked at him, slowly stretched out her hand, picked up the treasure talisman he was holding, and put it in the storage bag.
"Go, help me talk to Li Chai, I'm ready to leave for Songcheng, the recent disappearance of the monk Chudi has become more and more serious, he also needs to be more careful, if there is anything between the two families, it is up to you to convey it back and forth." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nichen's eyes lit up, and he jumped up suddenly, "Really!
He was so sincere, she couldn't say anything if she didn't agree.
Chu Xiaoyue glanced at him angrily, and muttered, "If you change your face, you will change your face, you were very respectful just now, you should pretend for a while, and you are not afraid that I will regret it." ”
Seeing him scratch his head and smirk, she felt like she was blind, "Don't go and pass the word yet, the errand can't be done well, see if I don't remove you!"
"Hey, hey, let's go!"
Chu Nichen shouted, turned around and ran out as if his butt was on fire, shouting as he ran, "I'm very reliable, don't be dismissed!"
The back of the tail gradually running away gradually faded against the light, and she suddenly remembered the first time she saw Chu Nichen, when they didn't know each other at that time, the young man who sneaked out of the academy was fighting with people in the store in order to choose a gift for the senior he worshipped, and the palm of his hand was cut by the broken medicine bottle and the blood flowed, but he only thought about what to do if the gift was gone.
"Miss, they have already entered the city. ”
A voice pulled her back from her memories to reality, and Lan Zhi walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a stack of papers in her hand, and respectfully handed it over.
Since the Zhao family's vitality was greatly injured ten years ago, the family Xiaobi has been postponed for many years, three months later, the resumption of the Xiaobi is about to open, after the intensive discussion of the deans of the five colleges, this time the host, selected as the Song family's Qinghai College.
It stands to reason that the last time the small competition was held in Qinghai Academy, this time it should have been the turn of the Yan family, but now that the Yan family is in decline, the dean of the local college is vacant, and only two deacons and several mentors can barely support it.
In fact, not only the Yan family, but also the Zhao family and the Xiao family did not mean to undertake Xiaobi, Xiao Fei, the elder of the Xiao family, privately communicated with Lu Ji, and bluntly said that the Xiao family is now on hold, and everything is based on the safety of the head of the family.
Over the years, the disappearance of the monks has intensified, and the major families have gone from being unconcerned at the beginning to now being sincerely afraid, and the people in power are nervous every day, and almost half of the power of the territory is put on the protection of the monks, and the other half of the power is to search for the missing monks.
Chu Xiaoyue closed the paperwork in her hand and frowned.
In this decade, the Chudi monks lost contact with thirteen more for no reason.
Since the disappearance of the monks, each family has successively implemented a lot of measures, and the monks who were used to being loose have to accept the constraints of the family, walking to report, reporting regularly, and there are monk liaison stations in each city, which are responsible for contacting the whereabouts of the monks in the appropriate territory, although there has been a lot of resistance in the process of implementing various measures, but now it seems that although these methods are simple and crude stupid methods, they are indeed effective and very necessary.
Because as of the latest news in her hands, more than a thousand monks have been missing on the Chu family alone.
More than a thousand monks, which is by no means a small number.
If these people are contaminated with demonic energy and become demonic soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable.
I think that at the beginning, Yan Daocheng was a Jindan Fallen Demon Soldier who could resist the Yuanying Treasure Talisman and suck out the vitality of the Jindan Great Perfection Monk, what about a thousand Yan Daocheng?
Not to mention that these people's cultivation is not as good as Jindan, even if they are just Qi cultivators, who knows what these people will become under the transformation of demonic qi?
What if it's even more powerful than Yan Daocheng? Who can guarantee that the Demon Fallen Soldier won't evolve?
And don't forget, this number is only Chudi.
It is the most stringent implementation of the restraint system and the strongest control of the family.
What about the Yan family, which has no leader and is unable to execute, what about the Zhao family, where everyone is watching from the new master, what about the Xiao family, where the head of the family retreats only by the elders, and what about the Song family, where the elder's position is empty and unsustainable......
If the overall strength of the monks cannot be improved, they will not be able to fight against the fallen demon soldiers who are secretly developing and growing, and if the monks in the academy want to grow, they can't just shrink into the academy, and Xiaobi can't drag it on indefinitely, but how to ensure the safety of these students is an extremely important and extremely difficult problem to solve.
She clenched her fists, the flames escaping from her fingers burning the paperwork to ashes.
Chu Nichen's words echoed in her mind, if today is the last day of a peaceful life......
Yes, he still has a wish that has not been fulfilled.
She could guess a few points of Chu Nichen's thoughts, but this kind of brave dedication before the end of the world made her feel sad and bitter in her heart.
This is so that I can have no regrets when I die......
Chu Nichen's thoughts were by no means unique, under the shadow of the fallen demon soldiers, who among the thousands of monks who realized the seriousness of the matter did not have such thoughts.
The worst has been expected, but, willingly?
She lifted her hand and gently stroked the small garland headband on her head.
Born to die.
"Let's go, let's go and join them. ”
Chu Xiaoyue said softly to Lan Zhi, and walked away from the only guest house in the main mansion of the Zhao family.
