Chapter 222: A Selfish Old Man

"I ...... From the mountains. Yunchen replied that he had indeed just come out of the mountains.

"In the mountains. The old man nodded, most of his doubts were gone, and said, "I'll just say, why don't you even know some of the most ordinary things...... In the mountains, no wonder. ”

"Old man, apart from the August Pond Ancient Land, are there any cultivators nearby, such as the ......people from the Holy Gate and the Tianxiao Gate?"

"You, really, just said that all cultivators live in the August Pond Ancient Land!" the old man emphasized unhappily.

Yunchen took a deep breath, and faintly had a conjecture in his heart, "Old man, Holy Gate, Tianxiao Gate, have you heard of it?"

"I have two wooden doors...... Well, without further ado, it's time for lunch. The old man walked away with small steps with his hands in his hands.

"Could it be that this place has really broken away from the Spirit Realm?" Yun Chen muttered to himself, and through a brief conversation with the old man, he had this conjecture.

Without waiting for Yunchen to think about it, a one-horned beast in the distance carrying a man with bare arms rushed to this side, and shouted from afar before the person arrived.

"All on alert! All on alert! The barbarians are coming! The barbarians are attacking! The high priest of Youquan has an order, and all the departments are ready to fight! Prepare for battle!"

The crowd began to panic, and pedestrians began to step up.

"Barbarians?" Yun Chen looked at him casually, followed a young man in a hurry, and asked, "Brother, the barbarians are attacking, what's the matter?"

The young man replied impatiently, "Haven't you experienced this?"

"I ......" Yunchen smiled awkwardly and said, "I have been living in the mountains, and I have only come out in the past few days, and I don't know a lot of things......"

Only then did the young man turn his head sideways and look at Yunchen, and said with a deep hatred: "Living in the mountains? Hmph, it's you damned scourges!"

"......" Yunchen was speechless, he didn't know why this young man suddenly changed his face, faster than turning a book.

"You have nothing to do with those barbarians, do you?" the young man strode forward, turning his head and asking Yunchen.

Yunchen hurriedly shook his head.

"A word of advice to you, at a time like this, don't say that you are from the mountains, otherwise it is easy to cause misunderstanding. ”

Yunchen was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"The barbarian degenerates live in the mountains, what do you say?" replied the young man angrily, and disappeared from the bend with a quicker pace.

Yunchen rubbed his nose helplessly, he still didn't know much about the current situation.

Soon, Yunchen's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward and shouted, "What a coincidence, old man, meet again!" He saw the old man he had just talked to.

"Qiao?" The old man approached Yunchen with his hands in his hands, and stared at Yunchen up and down with a pair of shining eyes.

Yunchen was stared at very uncomfortably, and looked down at his body slightly. The goal was a ragged outfit with multiple abrasions on his body...... No wonder the old man looked at himself a little strangely.

"Tell me honestly, boy, are you a spy sent by those barbarians! Why did the barbarians invade as soon as you arrived?" the old man snorted.

"Old man, do you look like me?" Yunchen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Of course it is, isn't it like I would ask?" said the old man with a sense of confidence.

Yunchen was really a little helpless, "Except for me, no outsiders have been here on weekdays?"

"Of course you have, but you're different!"

"Why?"

"You come from the mountains! Only those who have made a mistake and have been expelled from the tribe will leave the group and live in the mountains. Barbarians are made up of depraved people like you. ”

"Okay...... I'm lonely, so must I be a barbarian if I live in the mountains?"

"The expelled people will no longer be accepted and recognized by the tribe, and most of them will harbor hatred, and there are few such people who do not join the barbarians. The old man said confidently.

Yun Chen vaguely understood that this barbarian tribe was probably composed of some people who had committed crimes and were expelled by their respective tribes. Expulsion with hatred and revenge...... It has been passed down from generation to generation, and in the end it is incompatible. Yun Chen had this guess in his mind, and listening to some of the old man's words, he knew that his guess must be eight or nine and ten.

Soon, the old man changed his words and said, "Little brother, you don't seem to know a lot of things, you can't hide this from me, and you can't deceive me." I believe that you are not a barbarian, do you want to return to your original tribe and return to your ancestors?"

Yunchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you say?"

"Only those who have made great mistakes will be expelled, and I know that many of the expelled people are eager to return to their tribes, and they are all very particular about returning to their roots. After a pause, the old man continued: "If you want to get all this, you have to get recognition, and the heads of those barbarians are the best stepping stones. If you kill 10 people, you will be recognized, and if you kill 100 people, you will be a warrior and you will be able to return with your whole family...... Maybe this is the lifelong desire of your parents, do you want to fight for it?"

Yunchen was dumbfounded, oh my God, what the hell is this place?

"Master Feng!" several young men with weapons in their hands walked by and saluted the old man respectfully.

Feng Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "You little guys, are you going to patrol the mountains?"

A young man smiled and said, "Master Feng, you know, we have sharp legs and feet, we run fast, and every time the barbarians attack, a few of us are responsible for these tasks. ”

"Well, be careful, and report back in time if you find any movement. Feng Ye waved his hand and signaled that a few people could go.

As soon as the young men left, Feng Ye turned to Yunchen again: "Little brother, do you want to be pardoned? The opportunity for meritorious service is right in front of you!"

Yunchen said without thinking: "I'm not interested!"

"Forget the Sect!" Feng Ye's face changed, and he reprimanded: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, right? If you don't join the barbarians and don't have the protection of the tribe, you expelled people won't have a long-term solution in the mountains! All kinds of brute beasts are infested, all kinds of dangers, and people will be killed at every turn......"

What kind of number dictionary forgets the sect? My roots are not here! Yun Chen thought secretly, glanced at Feng Ye, and said, "Feng Ye, you seem to be very keen to provoke me to fight those barbarians, why?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Feng Ye hesitated for a moment, and had to tell the truth helplessly. It turned out that every time the barbarians invaded, every family had to have someone to fight, which was the custom. If you don't want to go to war, you can just find someone to go to war on your behalf.

Feng Ye is also an unfortunate person, he has three sons, all of whom died in the war with the barbarians, and his wife also died a few years ago, and now he only has two grandchildren under his knees, one has just married and has not yet given birth to children, and the other is not yet an adult. He really couldn't bear to let his grandson participate in the war again, for fear that there would be an accident, so he hit Yunchen with his idea.

"That's the way it is, after so many times the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, how can I bear to let my grandson participate in the war again?" Feng Ye said this, and a cloudy old tear dripped from his eyes, looking at Yunchen pitifully.

"Little brother, if you fight on behalf of my family, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! You don't have to rush forward desperately, when you really fight, you rush at the end, and if there is danger, just run ......"

Yunchen was silent for a moment and said, "You can also let your grandson do this, rush behind, and run first if there is danger, in this way, won't the risk be minimized?"

Feng Ye's tone was stopped, and he said after a while: "That will be spurned by others, greed for life and fear of death will make everyone look down on you, and when the time comes, everyone will point to the back and scold, and you won't be able to raise your head." And you are different, you are in the war on your behalf, and people will only praise you for your courage and kindness. ”

Yunchen was speechless for a long time, Feng Ye's approach was indeed selfish, but he was also for the sake of his two grandsons, and this love for the calf was difficult to dislike.

"Little brother, you will participate in the war on your behalf, once you make meritorious service, you will be pardoned......" A trace of shame flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, he knew that what he did was not kind, but he still had to be shy and pout Yunchen to participate in the war on his behalf.

Yunchen looked at Feng Ye in a daze, and said for a long time: "Your two grandsons have a good grandfather." ”

"Isn't it, for their sake, I don't care about it. Feng Ye said self-deprecatingly, "Forgive me for my selfishness, little brother, I really can't imagine if I experience the pain of losing my grandchildren again......"

Speaking of this, Feng Ye shook his head, glanced at Yunchen, and said bitterly: "Little brother, my approach is really not kind, if you don't want to help, I can't force it anymore ......"

After speaking, Feng Ye staggered around and was about to leave.

"Master Feng, you are so busy, I helped. Looking at Feng Ye's lonely back, Yun Chen's heart was inexplicably sour, and he suddenly remembered his grandfather Yun Ting.

"Really?" Feng Ye turned his head violently, wiped away the old tears in his eyes, and grabbed Yunchen's shoulder with ecstasy.

Yunchen nodded earnestly.

"Okay, thank you, thank you......" Feng Ye was so excited that he couldn't speak, and suddenly remembered something for a while, and said, "Let's go, little brother...... Uh, little brother, I don't know your name yet. ”

"Yunchen. ”

"Okay, okay, little brother Yun, let's go, I'll take you to register......" Feng Ye took Yunchen and walked to a small square, where there were already a lot of people gathered and making a commotion.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way for me!" Feng Ye shouted as he walked into the crowd and pulled his throat.

Obviously, Feng Ye's prestige is still quite high, and when he saw him, some people greeted him one after another and made way for him.

"Uncle Feng, is there anything wrong with coming here in such a hurry??" In the center of the crowd, a middle-aged man was writing down something, and when he saw Master Feng coming, he didn't dare to slack off.

"Register me, this little brother, Yunchen, will participate in the war on behalf of our family!"

"Master Feng, it's a blessing to be able to find someone to ......fight on your behalf" After the people on the side were slightly stunned, their eyes fell on Yunchen, and some people praised Yunchen as a good person Yunyun.

"This little brother is a bit of a face. The middle-aged man looked at Yunchen and then looked at Feng Ye.

Feng Ye glared at him and said, "He is from the mountains, and he is about to make a meritorious service!" There are many examples of this, so don't grind, hurry up and write it down for me." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, stopped asking, and began to write down.

After registering, Yunchen followed Feng Ye out of the crowd and chuckled twice, "Feng Ye, your prestige is quite high, they seem to respect you very much." ”

Feng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, after registering Yunchen's battle, a big stone in his heart finally fell.

"Prestige...... Respect, hehe. A trace of sadness flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, "I've never seen this, when I was young, I experienced several battles with barbarians, nine deaths, and killed twenty-seven barbarians. Then, my three sons died in battle with the barbarians...... The respect obtained in this way is too costly, and it is too much to block the eyes. ”

Yunchen was silent, and he also felt a little heavy.

"Oh, don't talk about that, let's go, come to my house and sit down. Feng Ye sent out an invitation.
