Chapter 973: Hidden in the Savage Star Domain
The Great Wei Divine Machine's treasure was opened, causing a sensation in the Great Thousand Realms, and Xiao Chen's name once again spread throughout the Eight Kingdoms! Retreating from the hands of Great Wei Hongmeng and Wei Emperor Projection undoubtedly made the world truly realize the strength of his power for the first time.
And this time, he is not the only one who has become famous in Dongyan, Quan was exposed to the eyes of the world for the first time, but that amazing finger, after harvesting the treasure, made him the second person in Dongyan who was recognized as the cultivation that was never under Xiao Chen.
The territory of Dongyan is less than one-tenth of the eight great empires, but it has two worldly pinnacle existences, and in the face of the Hongmeng monks, it can also retreat with its whole body! For a while, Dongyan's voice soared, faintly overpowering the Xiongnu State, and became the recognized number one power outside the eight empires in the Great Thousand Realms!
Emperor Yan was furious, and after a short agreement between the court and China, he transferred tens of billions of elite soldiers from the Zhennan Army to the command of King Xiaoyue, and ordered him to train the army to deal with contingencies, and at the same time sent scouts in the army to investigate Dongyan's every move, and if there was any abnormality, he would immediately return to Jidu. Yan Guo's move is undoubtedly to face up to Dongyan's performance and admit that Dongyan has the qualifications to pose a threat to Dayan!
In the secret report sent to Jidu by King Xiaoyue, Dongyan has always kept to himself and did not reveal anything wrong.
Emperor Yan's measures seem to have failed to play their due role......

In the depths of the Savage Star Domain, somewhere on the Cultivation Star.
This winter was particularly cold, with heavy snow falling and the ground several feet deep, and in the cold wind, a young man in a green robe walked into the city. It took him less than half an hour to find a house that was being sold, buy it directly at a price three times more than the market price, and when it was dark, he completed all the formalities and became a resident in the city.
Creak...... Creak......
The sound of footsteps falling into the snow came from outside the door, and the blue-robed man in the dark suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was calm, and his gaze was calm.
Squeak –
The door was pushed open from the outside, and the light of the charcoal stove came, dispelling the cold a little and bringing a hint of warmth. A burly man in his thirties stomped the snowflakes on his feet and walked in, he was wearing a thick animal skin, his simple face was red by the firelight, and he grinned at the young man's gaze: "My mother-in-law saw that you had just moved in, and it was not okay to keep warm without a charcoal stove at night, so let me send one over." ”
The man in the green robe was slightly stunned, then got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for this big brother, in Xia Xiao Chen, I just moved into the city to live today." ”
"My name is Li Dayou, that's my mother-in-law, you will call her sister-in-law Li in the future, we are neighbors, and we will have time to be close in the future. Li Dayou stretched out his hand and pointed, Xiao Chen looked down, the door on the opposite side opened, and a woman stood in the door, her thick clothes still couldn't hide her bulging abdomen. This is a pregnant woman, with faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she is not pretty, but she has an extremely gentle smile on her face.
My mother-in-law is now chanting the scriptures all day long, and wants to accumulate blessings for my little one who has not yet been born. Pity me as a hunter, and now I am forced to not even hunt. Fortunately, it is now the season of heavy snow and mountain closure, and the family still has to continue, otherwise it will be impossible to open the pot if it continues like this. Li Dayou's face was dissatisfied, but his honest face was full of happiness.
"Big right, come back quickly, don't disturb people's rest. ”
"I'll be back immediately!" Li Dayou replied and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Chen, I'll go back first, and I have time to come to my house for a drink." ”
Seeing Li Dayou and his wife close the door with a smile, Xiao Chen turned his head to look at the charcoal stove on the ground, his face slowly softened, and he closed the door with a wave of his sleeves, and he sat down cross-legged.
With his cultivation, even if the injury is serious, he can be invulnerable with the strength of his body, and he is naturally not afraid of the cold, but the behavior of this ordinary couple made him feel the love of the world, and he felt something in his heart for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but be slightly dazed.
This kind of human affection and human nature is the most ordinary thing, but in the monastic world, it is almost extinct.
The higher the cultivation, the stronger the supernatural powers, it seems that the more indifferent they will become, for their own selfish interests, they can conspire and calculate, they can kill innocents indiscriminately, and their relatives and friends turn against them...... If you have to embark on the road of the avenue, you can only do this.
So is this path of monasticism right or wrong?
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen slowly shook his head and gathered the thoughts in his heart. He can't figure it out, maybe no one in this world has really understood, but he just needs to keep the bottom line in his heart and protect the people he wants to protect, and that's enough.
What about others, he has no right to interfere and does not want to interfere.
Thinking of this, he put his thoughts down again.
After Da Wei escaped, Xiao Chen was seriously injured, and before he recovered, he would not return to Dongyan and enter the sight of the Eight Great Empires, otherwise it would inevitably bring danger! As long as he had not been on the road for a day, no one would dare to make a move against Dongyan.
And this is also something he and Izumi agreed on. Therefore, he entered the depths of the Savage Star Field, outside the tentacles of the Eight Great Empires, and cultivated his internal injuries.
Xiao Chen took a slow breath, his eyes closed, and his breathing gradually lengthened.
On the second day, when the sky cleared and the sun rose in the east, Xiao Chen pushed open the door and found that the snow in front of the door was much thicker, and it was about to accumulate to a person's waist. On the opposite side, Li Dayou was clearing the snow in front of the door, and the woman was leaning against the door, holding the stove in her hand, her palm slowly caressing her abdomen, and her face was full of love.
"Brother Xiao Chen got up, did you sleep well yesterday?" Li Dayou's face was sweating profusely, he took off his animal skin and wore a short shirt, and his head was steaming.
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile and praised: "Brother Li has such a strong body. ”
"Haha, those of us who make a living by hunting are naturally indispensable for a good body. Li Dayou smiled innocently, turned around and went into the house to get a snow shovel and threw it over, "You shouldn't have it at home, let's clean up the front of the door together while the snow is still loose, otherwise when the sun rises, it will melt a little and then freeze at night, it will be troublesome." ”
Xiao Chen thanked him, and the two of them started their hands while talking, and it took an hour before clearing the snow.
Li Dayou wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped slightly, and looked at Xiao Chen's still refreshed appearance, he couldn't help but be amazed, and praised: "I can't see that Brother Xiao Chen looks weak, but he still has such good physical strength." ”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "When I was a child, I learned a simple method of luck at home, and my physical strength is better than that of ordinary people." ”
"Haha, Brother Xiao Chen is modest, your physical strength is not as simple as being a little better than ordinary people. Li Dayou smiled and shook his head, "Yes, brother, I won't ask more, I see that your family is not ready to cook, it is not easy to clean up on the first day after the heavy snow, and it is difficult for you to go out and buy it." I'm going to eat at my house today, and my brother will let you taste the game at home, as well as the good wine that my ancestors brewed themselves!"
"Okay, don't let Brother Xiao Chen laugh at it. At first glance, people are people who have seen the world, and you are embarrassed to take out this little sour wine of your own. Hurry up and get ready to cook, take out the bacon, make more dishes, and it is rare to have guests at home. The woman of the Li family said with a smile.
The two of them were very warm, Xiao Chen groaned slightly, and nodded with a smile, "Then Xiao Chen will disturb Brother Li and sister-in-law today." ”
"Haha, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, my brother has seen this, let's go into the house and talk. ”
There is enough firewood under the earthen kang to burn the kang noodles warmly, and there is a charcoal stove on the ground, but the outdoor cold indoor is as warm as spring. The Li family and Xiao Chen sat across a low table, with all kinds of game on the table and home-brewed wine on the stove.
After eating a meal until the sun was in the west, Li Dayou's tongue was big, so he was willing to let Xiao Chen leave, and made an appointment to have a good drink in two days.
Returning to the room, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, his face was calm, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes slowly closed.
Since then, Xiao Chen has become a frequent visitor to Li Dayou's house, but he is not good at always eating and drinking for nothing, and he really has no need to cook himself, so he ignored the opposition of the Li family and his wife, and gave them ten taels of gold as a year's meal. It's easy to talk about it, so they agreed to it, but the daily dishes have unconsciously become much better. The Li family and his wife are both responsible people, and Xiao Chen gave a lot of gold, so they made the food better.
In the blink of an eye, March passed, the weather warmed up, and everything recovered. On a sunny spring day, Sister-in-law Li finally arrived on the day of childbirth. But the midwife has been in for a long time, and her screams can be heard in her ears, but the child has not yet been born.
Li Dayou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, rubbing his hands together, and walking back and forth outside the door.
Xiao Chen looked at the door, frowned slightly, and smiled at him instead: "Brother don't worry, sister-in-law is a good person, and the mother and son will be safe." ”
Li Dayou smiled reluctantly, but the worry on his face did not dissipate at all.
While he didn't notice it, Xiao Chen's fingers behind his back flashed slightly, and in the sky above the entire city, all the yuan power was instantly gathered, followed his fingers, and submerged into Sister-in-law Li's body.
Hundreds of miles outside the city, an old man in a white robe suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the city here, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Master, what's wrong?" asked a beautiful woman behind him.
The old man was slightly silent and said, "In the city ahead, there are masters who cast spells, you and I will go and take a look." Remember, if you meet the monks in the city, you must be respectful and not disrespectful. ”
The nun was shocked and hurriedly responded.
The two of them then turned around.
At the same time, a loud cry suddenly came from the Li family's room, Li Dayou's face instantly showed ecstasy, and Xiao Chen was smiling and calm.
A moment later, the midwife reported the good news, and Mrs. Li gave birth to a baby boy, and the mother and child were safe.
Li Dayou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly took out the prepared happy money and sent it to the midwife, and after sending her away, he walked into the house quickly.
Sister-in-law Li was lying on the bed, although she was not in good spirits, her face was very ruddy. Cleaned and wrapped newborns, lying beside them without crying or making trouble, with their pink little hands on their mouths, their mouths moving, and they are cute.
Li Dayou looked at the lady and carefully touched his son's little face, this honest man's face was full of excitement and happiness.
Xiao Chen stood at the door, looking at the family of three, with a faint smile on his face. But at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly turned around, and saw an old man in a white robe walking towards him with a young girl.
The white-robed old man's gaze swept around, and his eyes suddenly showed a little surprise, and he said in a low voice: "Strange, the source of the breath is obviously here, how can it not be." At this time, in Li Da's right room, a baby cry suddenly came. Hearing this cry, this person's face suddenly changed, and he came straight here.
Xiao Chen stepped forward, arched his hand, and said lightly: "My sister-in-law has just given birth, and it is not suitable to receive foreign guests, so let's stop." ”
