Chapter 44: News

Bai Xuanyu explained the situation, and Xia Pengyu frowned. "Taken away before the catastrophe. And it's just the two of you, so it shouldn't have anything to do with entering the Godfall Realm. Could it be that you have some military ties in your family? If this kind of thing is concerned, since the head of Zhou doesn't know, I don't know it even more. However, as a cultivator who has returned from the Divine Fall Realm, Senior Guo Feng will definitely see you alone later. You can ask him when the time comes. ”

"That one is also from the military department?" Bai Xuanyu was a little disappointed that he didn't get the news, but if there were higher-level people to help, it would definitely be easier to find someone.

"Yes, Major General of the Military Department. One of the biggest names in the top of the provincial capital at the moment. Xia Pengyu nodded, "Actually, it is not easy to identify the people in the military department, and the cultivation of martial artists in the military department is basically combat and martial arts." Although low-level combat martial arts are now being widely taught, the use of them by people in the military department is still different. When you get in touch with it, you can easily tell it. ”

Through the previous chat, Xia Pengyu already knew the situation of Bai Xuanyu and the others. Compared to Lin Yi, he couldn't help but envy these three people, who blindly broke into the realm of the Divine Fall aimlessly, and they could all get the opportunity to come back alive.

"Warrior, are you all called that?" Lin Yi opened his mouth and asked. In the past, although cultivators also called martial artists, because the exercises were too miscellaneous, some were not suitable for fighting at all, and even those who followed the mage department, so most of them were still called cultivators.

Xia Pengyu nodded, "Well, because of the popularity of martial arts." After all, there are few of us, and it is difficult to popularize the cultivation methods even in the current situation. I also forgot to tell you that the cultivators in the city now have divided the martial arts realm into twelve levels according to the twelve-level battle martial arts method. The higher the rank, the different jobs assigned and the different treatments. Although you have made meritorious contributions in the battle just now, you have to live in the city and take on the work. There won't be a single idler in the city right now. ”

"Then Brother Xia, what level of martial artist are you now?" Bai Xuanyu asked curiously, Lin Yi just said that the original Xia Pengyu was about the same strength as him.

"The exercises we practice are different, and we can only roughly divide them according to our strength, and I am now a tenth-level martial artist. Those who were just outside the city were all the martial artists above level ten in the city at present. ”

"Twelve-layer battle and martial arts, twelve-layer warriors. Twelve floors and above is the Divine Power Realm? So you're almost there. Lin Yi reacted quickly. Originally, there were only three major realms in the cultivation realm, the internal power realm of ordinary cultivators, the divine power realm that sought transformation after the internal force reached its limit, and the extremely rare king realm. Probably these three levels, in different sects, have different names and specific divisions. For example, the king realm in Buddhism can generally be called the Buddha name. His master changed from a green monk to a green Buddha and a young man, and he broke through the king realm not long before Lin Yi entered the realm of the Divine Fall.

"You don't know how difficult this step is." Xia Pengyu smiled bitterly. Then he pointed to the buildings in the community.

"With your strength and performance, you can choose any house in this community. The rooms have been sorted out and everything is complete, and you can move in directly. But for now, let's go to my house first. ”

Although the city is empty, there are many places to live. However, the degree of recovery varies from community to community. This upscale neighborhood does not seem to have been damaged by natural disasters, it is very clean, and even the property has been restored. It's the survivors who are not good at cultivation and are old. Moreover, there is a special team of the military department responsible for patrolling to prevent hidden insects and beasts from attacking, or some malicious characters from intruding.

I don't know the original name of the community, but now it is directly called the high-level martial arts residential area. Warriors and those who have made meritorious contributions above the sixth floor can stay with the whole family. But when it comes to the whole family, there are still people who are still alive, and there are a few family members.

"Where's your sister?"

Entering Xia Pengyu's room, Lin Yi asked. Xia Pengyu also has a younger sister named Xia Mingqing. is only a teenager, although his original qualifications are not as good as Lin Yi and the others, but he is also a cultivator.

"She's now the deputy captain of the city's patrol, and she's understaffed and busier than me." Speaking of his sister, Xia Pengyu rarely showed a real smile. Even though both of them were cultivators, they still failed to protect their families in that unstoppable catastrophe. Their parents, relatives, and familiar friends are all dead, and only two of them are left. At first, it was painful, but as time passed, I couldn't help but feel glad that I had seen too many survivors who were left alone.

"I greedily chose a big house with a few bedrooms, so you can rest here tonight. Although it may be necessary to clean it up. Xia Pengyu beckoned the four of them to sit down and poured a glass of water. The room is a real mansion but noticeably rarely cleaned up. It is also impossible for a cultivator's room to be easily accessed by others to help clean it up.

After sitting down, Xia Pengyu looked at Lin Yi, picked up the water cup and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Lin Yi, I'm sorry."

Lin Yi's heart sank slightly, before he was about to enter the realm of the Divine Fall, he asked Xia Pengyu to take care of his family. After meeting, Xia Pengyu never mentioned it, and he had a bad premonition. But I had extravagant hopes, and I couldn't bear to ask if I didn't take the initiative to ask.

"Three or four days after you left, before the catastrophe occurred. My master has sent me a message that something big may happen soon, so I should be careful and prepare. Master's tone was cautious, so just in case, I found a reason to invite my close relatives and friends to my home as much as possible. I also went to Yeonseong, but I didn't see your family. Xia Pengyu spoke, his tone trembling a little. He really didn't want to recall that scene, and he originally wanted to gather people around him to protect him as a cultivator, but in the end, he watched everyone except his sister die in agony in front of his eyes.

Lin Yi could imagine his pain at that time, and so did Bai Xuanyu and the others. If they had been in the city at the time, they would have had this ability, and they would have done the same thing, and then, experienced the same despair.

Looking at Xia Pengyu's pain that he couldn't hide, Lin Yi couldn't bear it, but he still asked. "No one in my house before the natural disaster? Is something going out? ”

"It's not." Taking a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, Xia Pengyu shook his head, "I inquired with my neighbors, it shouldn't be going out." Your grandfather, I'm afraid, is not an ordinary person. ”

He looked at Lin Yi with complicated eyes, "When I arrived in Yancheng, it was already the day before the natural disaster. Perhaps it was the cultivator's instinctive reaction to the aura before the shock, and I also felt a little uneasy in my heart. So, I went through the window and went through the door to check. And then found this. ”

With apologies, Xia Pengyu took out a pendant from his arms. "It's a treasure, so I always carry it with me. Some dark greed, I hope you can forgive me. ”

Lin Yi took the pendant, a jade pendant the size of a fingernail and a square shape. The four sides are flat, and there are no letterings or patterns. It seemed to be a little more transparent than before, but he could still recognize that it was the piece that his grandfather had been carrying with him.

It seems that he used to say that he wanted to give it to himself, but because it was something that his grandfather cherished very much, he refused because it was too ugly and not aesthetic.

"Lingyu?" Groping, Lin Yi frowned. Even when he returned home from cultivation, he hadn't noticed anything abnormal, but now when he looked closely, he could find the faint aura of the scattered method on this pendant.

"Not only that, it should have been engraved with a pattern or a spell. After the cataclysm, the aura vibrated and mixed, and for a period of time, we became weaker than ordinary people. I was saved by it several times at that time. Xia Pengyu spoke, looking at the pendant with a little reluctance, "If it weren't for this pendant, I'm afraid I would have lost more than just an arm at that time." ”

"There's also a letter that I had with me, but I lost it during a battle."

"I'm curious to read it, there is not much content on the letter, it only says that you don't have to worry about him, and you have to go back to your hometown to take a look."

After Xia Pengyu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yi with some guilt in his heart. At first, it was just to hand it over to Lin Yi, but later after the pendant came into play, there were always some dark thoughts in my heart.

To be honest, if you haven't been researching and don't understand the specific role and use of the pendant. He wasn't sure if he would keep it for himself. Anyway, in such a chaotic last world, Lin Yi may not be able to discover the truth one day.

"Go back to my hometown and see, am I also a second-generation immortal with a background?" Lin Yi studied the pendant for a while and exclaimed. "Then you still look at me like a fool and ask the immortals, it's too unkind."

Xia Pengyu looked at Lin Yi, who didn't blame him at all for looking at the pendant, and was stunned for a while, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief and relief.

"I remember you said that your hometown is in Yokoyama. I'm afraid the mountains are full of strange beasts now, and you're seriously injured, so stay in the city for a while before you go. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If the old man is really a big guy, why should I worry. Lin Yi said casually, groping for the pendant in his hand.

He was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, and his parents have no impression of him, and it is said that he died in a disaster when he was very young. Except for the eldest brother who is a few years older and a sister-in-law who lives far away, there are no relatives in the family. Speaking of this kind of life experience, it doesn't seem unacceptable to make up a strange background now.

Grandpa is physically tough, but after all, he is old, and after knowing the horror of the catastrophe, he has actually been mentally prepared. It's the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Although the eldest brother often quarrels, they are brothers after all. He had also searched for it in Yancheng before, but after failing to find it, he pinned his hopes on Xia Pengyu's side.

If grandpa really has any secrets, perhaps, the eldest brother is not an ordinary person? What is the tradition of primogeniture?
