Chapter 164: He's an Older Brother
It is a two-story wooden house perched on a hill, and it is not luxurious, but it looks clean.
Chen Fan watched all this, constantly corresponding to the impression in his mind, and nodded slightly.
Next to the wooden house, in the middle of the hilltop stood a locust tree that shimmered faintly in the moonlight, but unfortunately, this locust tree did not have a single leaf, only bare branches.
I don't know how many years the old locust tree has grown is like trying to support a kind of commemoration of the past, the trunk is wrapped around a circle of red ropes, and the red ropes are tied with some wooden signs, gently swaying in the night breeze like a beating elf.
"What a big locust tree, Scrooge, did you plant this locust tree?" Xia Ling, who had been pondering for a long time, cheered up again and asked.
"How is it possible, this tree is old enough for me to live for dozens of lifetimes......" Cao Yanbing seemed to be less cold and a little more active because he returned home.
He explained to Chen Fan on the side: "This is the Spirit Locust Tree, it is my family's sacred tree, and my family will guard it for generations—at least that's what my parents said." ”
"Friend, not everyone can live here, a thousand yuan is definitely worth it. If you guys want to stay longer, I'm totally okay with that. ”
Cao Yanbing is trying to prove that he does not mean to sit on the ground, and the miser, who has already received a thousand yuan and is happy in his heart, is very moral.
Chen Fan smiled faintly: "One day, one day is enough." ”
It only takes him one day to be able to bury enough means here.
Chen Fan felt the vigorous spiritual power around him, and the closer he got to the Linghuai Tree, the more obvious it became, just like the surroundings of Fusang, which was also one of the four sacred trees.
It's just that this time, Chen Fan can no longer increase his soul power by absorbing spiritual power, these escaping spiritual powers are already too low-level, maybe only by directly trying to devour the branches can have an effect.
However, Chen Fan came here not for this little soul power, and the spirit locust tree can't be destroyed yet.
You have to wait until two months before you can do it!
From the east to the emperor, the west of the Linghuai, the north of the dragon peach, the south of the Fusang.
Since ancient times, these four sacred trees have stood in the four directions of Zhensoul Street, and the four sacred trees absorb the qi of heaven and earth and transform them into spiritual power as their own nutrition. They are thousands of miles apart, but their roots are connected to each other.
After waiting for two months, the most core artifacts of the four divine trees, Xi and Shenzhu, will be transferred to the Linghuai Tree and exposed!
Xi and the Divine Bead is a supreme divine object that can divide the space and lay down the enchantment obtained by the imperial spirit historians with the help of the power of the gods in the past.
In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of Xi and the Divine Bead that the Four Great Divine Trees can be used as a barrier separating the Spirit Domain from the Soul Street.
Because Xi and the Divine Bead could not resist the filthy breath of the underworld, the Imperial Spirit Historians placed it at the root of the four great divine trees to inject spiritual power into the Xi and Divine Beads.
Every hundred years, Xi and Shenzhu must come to one of the branches of the four great divine trees to breathe for three days, and only then can they really find it.
Two months later, it was the day when Xi and Shenzhu were transferred to the branches of the Linghuai tree!
Chen Fan is ...... for this supreme artifact It's imperative!
Therefore, he came to Rakshasa Street to prepare in advance.
After all, when it was two months later, the powerful kingdom organization would come to snatch Xi and the Divine Beads. It was also in that battle that the locust tree was destroyed, which opened the prelude to a series of major events in the future.
Chen Fan glanced at Xia Ling, after getting Xi and Shenzhu, she wanted to keep it, she couldn't replace it for the time being.
The combination of Xia Ling's physique and guardian spirit is too special, so in the next two months, Chen Fan still needs to take care of this slightly reckless guy.
Fortunately, after her guardian spirit awakened, Xia Ling could be regarded as an extremely strong combat power, so it was definitely not a loss to find a way to pull her and Cao Yanbing to her own ship together.
Xia Ling was scanning the mansion with only lights but no movement, and asked Cao Yanbing curiously, "Scrooge, where are your parents?" Are they also soul suppressors...... Why is it just you and your brother living here? ”
Xia Ling remembered that Cao Yanbing had mentioned his mother earlier.
Cao Yanbing didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "I disappeared ten years ago, who knows if I live or die......"
"That night, the two said they were going to suppress a powerful evil spirit, and they never came back, leaving only me and my newborn brother ......" Cao Yanbing glanced at Cao Xuanliang, who was a little silent not far away.
Ten years ago, he was only ten years old, raising his younger brother who was just a baby on his own.
is both a father and a mother, and he did his best to keep Xiaoliang from dying.
Although it was hard step by step, he never regretted it.
Because...... He's an older brother.
"Ah, I'm sorry......" Xia Ling suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized.
Looking at the two brothers, one big and one young, bathed in the moonlight, she suddenly felt that the miser in front of her was not so hateful.
It's not easy to go all the way, right?
Shen Ming behind Chen Fan also understood a little...... Why is Cao Yanbing so excited about just a hundred yuan.
The soul suppression will not be allowed to use spiritual power in the human world, otherwise after being discovered, it will be warned by the Haoqi Alliance, and in serious cases, it will be wanted by the spirit domain and confiscated by the soul town.
A ten-year-old boy with a newborn baby still needs to guard a town soul street and wait for his parents to come back.
A hundred yuan is enough for them to live for many days at that time......
Shen Ming was a little embarrassed for a while.
The green kite sensed something and clenched Chen Fan's hand.
Is Chen Fan sad......
Chen Fan smiled at her and squeezed her hand.
He looked at Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang, and remembered the fragment of living with his sister in his mind.
Because, Chen Fan also lived with his sister like this.
Chen Fan's parents both committed suicide when he was 10 years old, leaving him and his sister alone.
Chen Fan didn't know why, and he didn't want to know, he just wanted to protect his sister beside him.
At that time, he had no guardian spirit, no spiritual power, nothing, only a sister who was four years younger than him.
My sister is very well-behaved by his side, but once she can't see Chen Fan, she will cry, even if she cries hoarsely in her throat.
And a little girl carved in pink, there are too many people who want to take her away from Chen Fan.
Chen Fan has been scolded, beaten, and cut down, bent down his spine and knelt down more than once, used various means, and even had blood on his hands more than once......
Along the way, even if his soul was scattered in the end, Chen Fan never regretted it.
Because...... He's an older brother.
Cao Yanbing listened to Xia Ling's apology, turned his back, and put his hands in his pockets: "Hey, it's all in the past, don't mention it......"
He looked at Cao Xuanliang and smiled warmly: "Xiaoliang, let's vacate the room for the two of us tonight for the guests, let's go live in a tent together...... It's been a long time since we've lived there together. ”
Cao Yanbing pushed open the gate of the ancient mansion and beckoned Chen Fan and his party to enter, there were some self-woven decorations in the house, which was very simple and warm.
But for Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang, these are enough.
No matter where you live, as long as you have your own family by your side, it is home.
