2148 Waiting
By the time Xiao Chen returned to the village, it was already noon that day.
The sun is high and the sun is shining.
With Sang's help, the village has almost recovered, and the villagers are mostly in a stable mood. Start helping each other to repair the destroyed house and clean up the mess.
With mutual help, smiles slowly appeared on the faces of the villagers.
In the wilderness, that's what it is.
For many mortals, living one more day is considered earning, and being born in the Great Wilderness is already a very bad thing.
Resources are scarce, the environment is harsh, and rogues are rampant, and life and death have long been seen.
The people of the barren sea, under their fierce appearance, have a simple mentality that looks down on life and death.
"Let's go back first, don't think too much. ”
Xiao Chen patted Xiao Qingchen's head and said softly.
Xiao Qingchen nodded and left quickly, but he turned around three times in one step, and returned home extremely reluctant under Xiao Chen's eyes.
Seeing Sang Chao walking towards him, Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and told the other party about last night's events and some of his own thoughts.
Sang shook his head and said, "Don't think about destroying the rudder of the Tiansha Sect, those two human kings last night were just the beginning of the realm." In the Seven Rank Sect, it is estimated that even the elders of the outer sect will not be able to mix. In addition to being hit hard by you, it is so easy to win. The rudder has been in business for at least a hundred years, and there must be a lot of people Wang Xiaocheng, and there will inevitably be adult kings. ”
The difference in strength between Wang Chucheng and Wang Xiaocheng is huge, not to mention the big achievements.
Xiao Chen's current strength, with the soul will comparable to that of Wang Dacheng, is supplemented with the acquired divine body, as well as the three great avenues and the Supreme Dragon Fist. It is enough to compete with the little adult king, and even defeat some small adult kings who are not very strong, but in the face of the big adult king, they must be defeated.
You have to be promoted to the king of people quickly, Xiao Chen felt a little pressure.
But the acquired divine body needs too many resources, in fact, if it weren't for that pot of heart-burning wine, it would take at least a year for the peak of the Holy Venerable.
Qin Zhuolin gave him the pot of heart-burning wine, which helped him a lot.
"On the way back, I thought about it carefully, and it was indeed a bit risky to destroy the rudder. Thinking of another compromise way, the Tiansha Sect rudder that controls this area has about eighty strongholds. ”
Xiao Chen paused and continued: "If all these eighty strongholds are uprooted, it will probably take ten years to re-establish them. In the midst of the Great Wilderness, the territory is too vast, and it is impossible to control the rogue without these strongholds. The rudder of the Heavenly Demon Sect wanted to control this area, it was simply impossible. ”
"Within ten years, the village should be worry-free, and the attention of the Heavenly Demon Sect should also be attracted to me. ”
Sang said softly, "What about ten years from now?"
"Participating in the Taoyuan Cocktail Party, as long as you get a promise from that big man, you will have no worries for a hundred years. ”
"A hundred years from now?"
"A hundred years later, I will be famous for shaking the barren sea, and with the word Xiao Chen, I can keep the village safe. ”
Sang was slightly surprised, the edge of Xiao Chen's body at this moment made people a little afraid to look at it directly, and said in a deep voice: "It's still a bit risky, if it's a mistake, I encounter the rudder elder patrolling." Where are you, and what will be a hundred years later. ”
Xiao Chen smiled calmly: "If you don't take some risks, how can you solve the problem?" I broke through the human king, and I did have some battles to sharpen, so I should take it as a practice." ”
Seeing that Xiao Chen had made up his mind, Sang didn't go to persuade him.
Xiao Chen has always been resolute, and he quietly set off that night while it was dark.
At sunset during the day, with some minor injuries, he returned to the village.
In the following days, the time when Xiao Chen came back became more and more irregular.
Sometimes two days, sometimes three days, sometimes as long as seven or eight days.
The seventh master was a little worried, and asked Sang several times, but Sang didn't say much, only let the seventh master make wine with peace of mind and prepare for the Taoyuan event.
But the experience of the seventh master is there, and every time he comes back, he can see that Xiao Chen's murderous aura is a little heavier.
Many times, the blood stains on the body have not yet dried.
I also received news from a nearby village that there were fewer and fewer rogues nearby, and there were rumors that a young man in white had recently appeared and was sweeping the area of rogues.
Some people even saw that the demon envoys were all killed by the young man in white.
Let's do it!
The shock in the heart of the seventh master is somewhat indescribable, he has experienced too much in his life.
I have seen a lot of righteous martial artists with bold words, but in fact, these people are either just a whim. Either he was young and vigorous and lost his life under the light of the enemy, or he gave up directly when he encountered some resistance.
He even saw that the righteous path martial artist and the demon path martial artist walked together and talked happily with each other.
At his age, many things have already been seen through.
The environment of the Great Wilderness, he had long known, was the result of the compromise of the big people. In the eyes of those really strong people, they are ordinary people, not much different from ants, and they have never been the key.
In the barren sea, there is no right or wrong, only interests.
Therefore, when Xiao Chen asked him for the first time, the seventh master did not inform Xiao Chen of the reason for driving away Xiao Qingchen.
Can ...... now
It was this somewhat taciturn person who didn't say a word, and just acted directly.
Gradually, many nearby villages felt a little different.
A month passed, and the rogues that used to wander around and could be seen almost every day were never seen again.
Some rumors have also increased.
Recently, a strange bird appeared, specializing in killing rogues, and it can swallow all of them in one bite. When the big bird saw the messenger, his eyes lit up and he ran after the messenger.
The owner of the strange bird is the man in white who is sweeping the wanderers nearby.
The seventh master and the people in the village were a little worried, because Xiao Chen hadn't come back for half a month.
Xiao Qingchen will stop and wait on the stone pile at the head of the village every day.
Under the sunset, every evening, a little girl can be seen watching and waiting.
However, every day I will be disappointed.
Rumors appeared one after another, and some people saw that the man in white had a pale face and was chased and killed by seven or eight demon envoys, which was extremely dangerous.
There were also people on the road, and they saw a man in white from a distance, covered in blood, lying on the sea of sand, life and death were unknown, and a blood-colored bird was parked next to him.
But when he was about to get closer, he was frightened back by the blood-colored bird and ran away in a panic.
The village's fears seem to have become a reality.
Xiao Chen hasn't been back for a month, and with some bad rumors, people are extremely worried.
Sang estimated that Xiao Chen might have been calculated.
At the beginning, I can come back once every three or two days, and after a series of accidents, I will definitely be alert.
No matter how cautious Xiao Chen is, it is difficult to avoid it.
The Seven-Rank Demon Sect, even if it is only one of the twelve rudders in the barren sea, is still not to be taken lightly.
It can be easily solved by one person.
Later, some bad news came, and the rogue who had been frightened away wandered again.
Rumor has it that the man in white died.
It is said that he alarmed the terrible big man and was directly swallowed by a terrifying ghost-faced soul beast.
Near the village of the Seventh Master, some rogues also began to appear and wandered.
Xiao Qingchen was warned not to go to the village again, and it has been unpeaceful recently.
The seventh master was a little nervous, and Sang told him that it was okay, concentrate on winemaking, and prepare for the Taoyuan wine party.
The people in the village were a little depressed, and many people thought that Xiao Chen was dead.
But there are always people who don't believe it, Xiao Qingchen is, the little girl will sneak out every day, look into the distance, and wait anxiously.
Why wait?
There is expectation before there is waiting, but the expectation is disappointed again and again, and the loss will be aggravated again and again.
The people in the village were distressed when they saw the little girl and others, and persuaded her not to go out again.
But the little girl is stubborn, and she has always insisted that the big brother will definitely come back.
Another month passed.
The wine of the seventh master has been brewed completely.
In addition to the burning heart that Xiao Chen asked him to help brew, the wine that the seventh master himself prepared to participate in the drinking party has also been brewed.
"This is Burning Heart?"
Sang looked at the wine bottle, and when he looked closely, the fragrance was tangy, but it was not much different from ordinary wine.
Xiao Chen still hasn't come back, even if even the first wine of the Dragon Clan has been completed, the Seventh Master is a little excited.
Smoking a dry cigarette, he said casually: "Well, it's heartburning." It has not appeared for more than 5,000 years, or even longer, and I don't know if the world will still recognize it. If it weren't for some skills from the ancestors, the old man wouldn't have been able to see that this was heartburning. ”
"Sang, you tell the old man, what's going on with the little brother, he hasn't come back for two months. Now that the wine is ready, what good is it if he doesn't show up?"
The Seventh Master has asked several times about the old words, but He Sang didn't say much.
Sang put down the flask and said softly: "I know very well that he chooses the path, even if his feet are broken, he will walk with his hands." As long as the last drop of blood is not exhausted, it will not give up. ”
The seventh master was stunned and sighed: "Little brother is young, what has he experienced...... That's how I was in this state of mind. By the way, Sang, pay attention to Xiao Qingchen, this girl has been sneaking out, and she can't stop it. ”
Sang was about to answer, when his face suddenly changed slightly, and then he laughed softly: "He's back." ”
"Huh?" The seventh master was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What's back, the little brother is back?"
Next to the ancient well outside the village, Xiao Qingchen looked at the spring water in the well, and said innocently: "Moon, moon, tell me, when will the eldest brother come back?"
"You stinky moon, bad moon, you always don't speak. It's all you, it's all because of you, the big brother didn't come back, right? ”
Xiao Qingchen pouted and said dissatisfiedly to Gu Jing.
"Didn't I say that the ancient well is dangerous, so you don't want to come again?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Qingchen, startled, and looked back.
Under the reflection of the sunset, a familiar face appeared in Xiao Qingchen's eyes.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Qingchen was pleasantly surprised, ran over quickly, cried with joy, and hugged him tightly.
A little dazed, Xiao Chen turned around and looked, only to see the head of the village.
The seventh master iron egg, leading the whole village, young and old, rushed out.
After seeing Xiao Chen, they were all surprised and overjoyed.
After two months, it was rumored that Xiao Chen, who had swept away the rogues and was defeated by the demon envoy, had already died, and he had returned!
