"Then what was she hiding there just now?" Ji Chen was still a little unconvinced, from the moment he came to this world, he was wrapped in lies.

"Hide, where do you come from? The old well I dug is there, and Qinqing is washing your clothes there. The old man laughed.

Ji Chen walked to the left of the bamboo house and took a look, and found that there was indeed a wooden basin with the clothes he was wearing before.

He looked back at Qin Jing and found that Qin Jing was innocently bowing his head, pinching the corners of his clothes, looking pitiful.

Only then did Ji Chen realize that he was making too much fuss, and he couldn't help feeling guilty, and hurriedly said to the old man: "I'm sorry, I ......"

The old man sat on the wooden bench and took off his straw sandals and said, "Childe is too worried, you must have gone through too much suffering to be so cautious. You don't have to apologize to me, but Qin Jing seems to be scared by you, so tell her. ”

Ji Chen immediately followed what the old man said, bent down at Qin Jing and said, "I was rude just now, please don't blame the girl." ”

But Ji Chen never heard Qinqing's words of forgiveness, he raised his head to look at Qinqing suspiciously, but found that Qinqing's face was flushed and his head was pinned, neither speaking nor looking at Ji Chen.

"Miss Qinqing?" Ji Chen asked again.

"Jingjing is a mute girl, and she accepted your apology. The old man said from the side.

"Dumb... Dumb girl?" Ji Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

After hearing the old man's words, Qin Jing ran away alone without saying a word.

Ji Chen looked in the direction where Qin Jing left, and only retracted his gaze after a long time. He walked up to the old man and asked, "Grandpa, where are Qinqing's parents?"

The old man took another sip of water and said, "Call me Grandpa Zhang." We were originally a blacksmith in Chiba City, Dongzhou, and Qinqing's parents died in a battle more than ten years ago, in order to avoid Qinqing also being involved, I took her to hide in the primeval forest on the border of Dongzhou, and if you count carefully, it has been fourteen years. ”

After Ji Chen heard this, he also felt very sad in his heart, he walked to Qinqing's room alone and knocked lightly on the door.

"Miss Qinqing, may I come in?"

There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and after a while, Qin Jing opened the bamboo door, glanced at Ji Chen, and then walked to the bed and sat down.

Ji Chen walked slowly to the house, looked at Qinqing, wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.

"Uh...... I just misunderstood you, I hope you can forgive me. Ji Chen walked to the window and said to the bamboo forest outside the window.

"Ah......h

The first time she made a sound, it was just a strange scream.

Ji Chen turned his head to look at Qin Jing, who was nodding at him with a smile on his face.

"Your voice is so good. Ji Chen couldn't help but say. "No wonder God won't let you speak, or the world will be captivated by your voice. ”

Hearing this, Qin Jing looked to the side shyly.

Ji Chen sighed, and said: "Grandpa Zhang told me, your parents died a long time ago, in fact, I am the same, I was terminally ill when I was in the outside world, and then I came here with my friends, and in just a few months, they all died, and now I am the only one left." ”

Listening to Ji Chen's words, Qin Jing got up and walked up to him, pointed to his chest with a finger, and then waved his hand at Ji Chen.

"Are you telling me not to be sad?" asked Ji Chen.

Qin Jing smiled and nodded.

Ji Chen also smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't be sad, I'm actually very strong, just like you. ”

"What's your name?" Walking out of the room, Grandpa Zhang asked Ji Chen.

Only then did Ji Chen realize that he hadn't told anyone his name for two days since he was here, which was really rude.

"The junior's name is Ji Chen. ”

"Hmm~ Then what are your plans in the future?, are you going to Dongzhou to break through or what?" Grandpa Zhang asked as he stroked his beard.

"Well, I don't know, my partners are dead, and I'm the only one left in this world. Ji Chen said with a sad face.

Grandpa Zhang sighed and said, "In this world, there is only bitterness and no sweetness. Young man, you have two choices, either go to Dongzhou and go to the road of the strong that belongs to you. Either ......" Grandpa Zhang paused and continued: "Either stay here and accompany our grandparents and grandchildren to live a life of grievances, as long as you can endure this kind of sorrow of being born in troubled times and living in the mountains." ”

Qin Jing also walked out of the house, leaning against the door, looking at Ji Chen expectantly.

"I, I just want to live well, that's all. Ji Chen lowered his head and said.

When Qin Jing heard this, her clear eyes became brighter.

"Hahahaha! It turns out that he is also a greedy person who is afraid of death! Yes, it is very similar to me!" The old man laughed and said, "The room where you rested in the morning will be yours from now on, Qinqing, take him in and clean up yourself." ”

Ordinary life always passes quickly, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

One day, Grandpa Zhang suddenly called Ji Chen into the bamboo forest.

"Do you want to practice?" asked Grandpa Zhang with his hands behind his back to Ji Chen.

"No, I just want to be an ordinary person like you. Ji Chen replied blankly.

"Silly boy, from the moment you came to this world, you can't be an ordinary person, do you know how peculiar the Destiny is to this world?"

Ji Chen shook his head.

Grandpa Zhang took a breath and said, "Since ancient times, the Mandate of Heaven has either died as soon as it appeared, or they have all become powerful figures. Someone like you who survives doesn't necessarily stay in hiding forever. ”

"The lifespan of a human being is only more than eighty or ninety, and who can know if they spend this life in this deep mountain and old forest?" Ji Chen asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, that's right. The ritual of forcing the gods once in more than 300 years has passed, and it stands to reason that we can indeed live here for a lifetime, but we still have the ability to protect ourselves, even if there are no people in this deep mountain range, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no demon beasts. Grandpa Zhang said slowly.

"Grandpa Zhang, what is the God-forcing ceremony?"

"The Divine Forcing Ceremony, anyway, is a disaster in the entire Infinite Realm, every three hundred and thirty-three years, four ancient fierce beasts will be awakened from the Fengshen Platform of the Yuanyang Middle Realm, and they will go to the four corners of the world respectively, and everywhere they go, they will be hell. ”

"How could such a thing be?"

"I don't know?" sighed Grandpa Zhang.

"Then may I ask Grandpa Zhang, have you ever encountered a demon beast with Qin Jing in the past ten years?"

"Of course, it's just that this is the primeval forest at the junction of the Yuanyang Middle Realm and Dongzhou that I specially selected, so there are very few demon beasts, and the intelligence is low, plus I and Qin Jing both have the strength of the Sun Kui's anger and the beginning of the night respectively, and if you are cautious, you still have the ability to protect yourself. ”

"You all have cultivation?" Ji Chen said in surprise.

"Of course, except for the Mandate of Heaven and the Demon Clan, the people here have cultivation as soon as they are born. Grandpa Zhang replied.

Only then did Ji Chen remember that Wu Han had told them that people here were born with the sun as the sun, and with the moon they were born as night evil.

"Then how can we cultivate?" Ji Chen became a little interested.

"I'm not going to rush this for now, I'm going to tell you something more important first. As a Destiny One, you have extremely high talents, your cultivation speed is extremely fast, and you can cultivate both the Sun Quest and the Night Demon before you reach the Heavenly Choice. However, once you reach the first realm, you will lose the protection of heavenly punishment, but as long as you don't say it, no one will know that you are the Mandate of Heaven, and no one will want to kill you too much, but you must be careful that in front of outsiders, you can only show one attribute cultivation, otherwise others will also know your identity as the Mandate of Heaven. Of course, these are just some warnings, and if you can really spend your life here in peace, then you don't need to worry about it. Just one thing you have to keep in mind is that once you practice to the Chosen Period, you will be able to live forever, and in this case, unless you commit suicide or get killed, you will live forever. ”
