Cheng Chen returned to Nanxi Village from the valley overnight, and entered the village, there was a small courtyard on both sides of the street at intervals, on which there were some faint lights circulating, which were obviously protected by some formations, but obviously very rough, and some houses made of wood or bamboo could be seen inside, but they were not big, and could only accommodate a few people.

Although this world cultivates aura, it is obvious that not everyone can become a high-level cultivator, and it is not bad for a low-level cultivator or an ordinary family to have some simple formation protection.

At this time, there were already some people walking on the road in the village, Cheng Chen did not stop, and walked directly along the street, and there was a courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence in the inner part of the village, which was protected by a slightly stronger formation, and Cheng Chen's aura was integrated into the formation and entered it.

The courtyard is not wide, there is still a bamboo house inside, the door has been opened, Cheng Chen walked in directly, there was an old man washing inside, seeing Cheng Chen hurriedly wiped his face, and said excitedly: "Young master, you are back, I have been waiting."

Cheng Chen also greeted him, holding one of the old man's old hands and hugging the other shoulder, it turned out that the old man was already one-armed. Cheng Chen patted the old man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, this time I was delayed by some things, it's okay, but these days since I left, you are fine." ”

Cheng Bo replied with a smile: "We are all fine, the little master is sleeping inside, don't worry that I am here, unless I die, the little master will be fine." ”

Hearing his words without hesitation, Cheng Chen's face turned red: "Uncle Cheng, you can't happen anymore, if you hadn't tried your best to rescue me, how could there be me now, you suffered an incurable injury in order to save me at that time, I owe you enough, you must be good." ”

Cheng Bo smiled indifferently: "When the head of the Cheng family took me in, it was equivalent to giving me a second life, I repay you, young master, isn't it right, besides, even if my cultivation has dropped a lot, I can still do some things." ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Cheng Chen was going to persuade him again, Cheng Bo hurriedly pushed Cheng Chen to a room inside, where a child was sleeping sweetly, about five or six years old, and even in his sleep, he could feel the corners of his eyes moving smartly.

When Cheng Chen saw this, he knew that it was not good to persuade him anymore, walked in, sat on the bed gently, wanted to touch, but was afraid of waking up the child, after looking at it, he took out a box from the storage bag, and when he opened it, it contained the half of the jade pendant.

Cheng Chen quietly put the jade pendant next to the child's head, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, Cheng Bo saw this and stopped bothering him, turned around and went out, lightly slammed the door of the house, his eyes showed a hint of complexity, and began to meditate on the bed outside.

After half an hour, the door inside opened, Cheng Chen walked out, Cheng Bo hurriedly stopped practicing, Cheng Chen stepped forward and asked, "Cheng Bo, how does the aura feel during this time." ”

Cheng Bo smiled helplessly: "Young master, it has been the same all these years, the aura absorption is extremely slow, and the injury is also difficult to recover, but at least there are ten years to live, and I can see the little young master grow, and my bones are enough." ”

The more Cheng Chen listened, the more sad he became, knowing that if it wasn't for saving him, with Cheng Bo's cultivation at that time, he should still have a hundred years of life, but now he is not only physically disabled, his cultivation has declined, his vitality has also been greatly reduced, and his face is drooping and old.

Thinking of this, Cheng Chen couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and said ashamedly: "Uncle Cheng, it's all my fault for being useless, I still didn't find anything that could cure you when I went out this time." ”

Cheng Bo replied: "Young master, I don't blame you, I understand my situation, it is difficult to recover, and I have already seen it." But you, have you ever found a way to heal your broken elixir? ”

Cheng Chen replied helplessly: "No, when I was crossing the soul in Naling, I happened to be attacked by the enemy, and I was attacked at the critical moment of crossing the soul, and it was very easy to be counterattacked, if it weren't for the extremely special Qingling Xuanyuan Gong that saved my life, I'm afraid I would have lost my life." But forcibly saving my life, but also made the elixir completely shattered, and then suffered the disaster of annihilation, we were hunted down all the way, those years have not been well conditioned to the body, the consequences of the backlash have become more and more serious, although in recent years I have been trying to re-establish the pill, but there is still no response, the cultivation has been regressive for several years, maybe I will never be able to form the elixir again in this life. ”

Cheng Bo's face also showed a trace of pain, although the two of them survived the pursuit, they were also surviving, and they couldn't help but hate the person who attacked them even more, but they also knew that it was almost impossible to take revenge in their current state, and their hearts were extremely painful.

At the beginning, the young master was also a person with extraordinary talents, and he condensed the elixir at a young age, and he was able to accept the soul in a few years, and the future was limitless, but now...

Maybe the young master is even more heartbroken, thinking of this, he just wanted to comfort the young master, but Cheng Chen looked at the room inside with a serious face, and continued: "The matter of revenge is put aside first, I just looked at the roots of the nebula, although he is still young, but I think he has a good backbone, and his future achievements are better than his father, who can no longer become a dan, first cultivate the nebula, no matter what happens to us in the future, we must first ensure the ability of the little guy to survive independently." ”

Cheng Bo also knew in his heart that if something happened to them, this little guy would be the most worried, but he was also afraid that Cheng Chen would be discouraged, so he persuaded: "Xingyun is indeed good, but if you want to build a foundation, you have to be thirteen years old, there are still a few years, young master, you can continue to inquire in the past few years, maybe there is any way, and I can't say that there are other opportunities during this time." ”

Cheng Chen knew that he was a word of comfort, so he nodded. During this time, I was looking for a way to heal the two of them, but I found nothing, and my heart was almost worn out over the years, and now the child is going to grow up, in this world of the jungle, ensuring the safe growth of the child in the future is the first element.

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening, and a child came out rubbing his eyes, apparently waking up, and seeing the young man outside, as if he didn't believe it, he continued to rub it, and looked at it again before he was sure.

rushed over, jumped into Cheng Chen's arms, and said crisply: "Daddy, you're finally back, I miss you." ”

Cheng Chen hugged him, rubbed Xingyun's head, and said, "These days when I'm not there, are you good, haven't you been naughty with your grandfather." ”

Xingyun hurriedly said: "No, I'm good, I don't believe you asked grandpa." ”

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and looked at Cheng Bo worriedly, for fear that he would shake his head, his smart eyes, like stars swaying among the flowing clouds, were the children that Cheng Chen was talking about a few days ago.

Cheng Bo saw Xingyun's cute side, laughed, and stroked the little guy's hair with his hand, with a doting look on his face.

Cheng Chen didn't understand, so he laughed hehehe, and his hand tightened. Xingyun saw the smiles on his father and grandfather's faces, hugged his grandfather's one-arm with his hand, and pursed his little mouth happily.

It was only at this time that I could see the rare happy scene of Cheng Bo and Cheng Chen.

After Cheng Chen came back, he rested in the village with an old man and a young man for a few days, enjoying the time when he finally relaxed, but he was still irritable in his heart, after all, there were still many things he needed to do if he wanted the child to grow up safely.

That night, Cheng Chen thought of the night in the small valley, and couldn't help but take out the array disk in his hand, the small round cyan array disk in his hand, if it was not urged, no one would be able to see that it had such a terrifying sword formation.

Cheng Bo walked out of the inner room and gently closed the door: "This little guy has been playing around for a day and finally fell asleep." How? Did you go out and find out what this thing is? ”

Cheng Chen shook his head, his eyes blazing and thoughtful, and said: "No, I only thought it was a formation plate before, but now it seems that it is not just a formation plate, and it may have other uses." It's a pity that I didn't understand the research, but speaking of which, I was able to come back safely this time thanks to it. ”

Hearing that Cheng Chen seemed to have encountered danger, Cheng Bo's face also trembled, but danger was commonplace for them, but there was no panicked expression, but he still frowned and asked: "Seeing that you didn't suffer many injuries when you came back this time, I thought that you didn't encounter any danger outside, but it seems that things are not simple?" ”

"I encountered a little danger, but because of this, I know the extraordinary things about this thing, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, don't worry, it's not a big deal. There are many people in the village, and it is difficult to study carefully, so I will go out and find a clean place to see. Cheng Chen was afraid that he would be worried, but he didn't elaborate.

Cheng Bo nodded, knowing that he must have some idea, so he agreed: "Well, pay attention to safety, I will take care of Xiao Xingyun." ”

Hearing the reply, Cheng Chen put away the circular array plate, quickly walked out of the house, and came to the street, at this time the bright moon was hanging high, and the surroundings were vaguely visible, Cheng Chen thought about it, and it seemed that it was not good to study near the village at this time.

So he flashed out of the village, found a dense forest more than ten kilometers outside the village, and walked a distance away from the road, which was not easy to detect in the night.

After checking with his divine sense, there was no one else around, so Cheng Chen carefully took out the array disk, touched it with his hand, and slowly recalled it with a trace of aura just in his heart.
