Chapter Eighty-Five: The Past of the Nebula
Chapter Eighty-Five: The Past of the Nebula
The sunset sets on the mountain, causing the night to fall on the earth, the mountain road at night is quiet, looking at the bamboo forest on both sides, it is dark and secluded, and you can't see your five fingers.
Several wagons loaded with goods were parked on the side of the road, and seven or eight piles of flames rose from the side, which stood out in the black night, snapping in the wind.
Most of them were more than a dozen people sitting around the fire, holding a pot of wine in their hands, chatting while drinking, laughing heartily and talking, which together were particularly noisy, making the originally quiet mountain road a little noisy.
Duan Yuhai stood alone at the front, his body motionless, looking at the dark night ahead, his eyes flashing, as if waiting for someone to come back.
Ever since he came out of the bamboo forest, he has been standing like this, like a log, without any words or feelings.
On the side, at the edge of the bamboo forest, Chu Fan was lying on a small lawn, looking at the sky, dotted with stars, and it was extremely beautiful in the flashes.
He didn't leave, and chose to stay, maybe because of the words Duan Yuhan said when he left.
Half an hour after Duan Yuhai walked out of the bamboo forest, Chu Fan also walked out, one stood and looked at the night, the other lay and looked at the sky, if you look at it, the two really have some similarities.
Chu Fan's appearance did not arouse the concern of Uncle Cai and the others, because everyone thought that he came with Duan Yuhai, so there was no need for everyone to do much.
Everyone understood what happened when Duan Yuhai and Duan Yuhan walked into the bamboo forest, but when they came out, Duan Yuhan was nowhere to be seen, but there was one more Chu Fan, and they didn't have to think about it to know that something must have happened in the bamboo forest.
They all have a tacit understanding, no one mentions, no one asks, and no one talks about it, since Duan Yuhai doesn't want to say it, they won't ask, this is the character formed by walking outside for many years, some things still don't know, it's better to know less.
The more you know, the faster you may die, this is an eternal principle.
"Back to the family this time, Lao Tzu has to rest well, the little girl in Yihong Courtyard is still waiting for Lao Tzu to moisturize."
In a fire not far from Chu Fan, more than a dozen men sat together, and one of them raised his head and poured wine, and said with a reverie on his face.
"You, sooner or later, you will have to die on a woman."
The other man responded with a smile, everyone knew it, and everyone here, who had never been to that kind of place, it was just a matter of times.
"The goods purchased in Nebula City this time are much less than before, and I don't know if anyone will blame them when I return to the family."
A man with a scar on his face said gloomily, poured a few sips of wine, and sighed.
At the same time, Chu Fan, who was originally looking at the starry sky in a daze, sat up with his body open when he heard the word Nebula City, his eyes were bright and bright, and he stared at the dozen or so people who were not far away.
"Blame? Who will blame? Don't forget, we are going back with the Nether Fruit this time, and if we don't reward it, if we have to blame it, wouldn't it be too unkind. ”
Another person spoke, obviously a little worried, but when he thought of the Nether Fruit, he was no longer worried, after all, the Nether Fruit was also an extremely rare thing.
It's just that he didn't know that the Nether Fruit had already entered Chu Fan's belly and ceased to exist a few hours ago.
"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have blessings and misfortunes, blessings and curses, disasters cannot be avoided, why bother thinking too much, just play happy, just play happy." The scar man chuckled, suddenly looked away, maybe he also thought that there was still a Nether Fruit, took a few sips of wine, and continued, "Even Nebula City was almost in ruins overnight half a year ago, countless monks died, the four major families were almost wiped out, and the City Lord's Mansion almost fell, so you can imagine what we will face in the future?" Maybe! ”
For some reason, when the scar man spoke, a cool breeze blew, and everyone's feeling was not cool, but cold, as if their souls were about to be frozen.
"Half a year?" Looking at the scar man and the others, Chu Fan muttered softly, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes narrowed slightly, although the whole person looked as ordinary as before, ordinary to the point of being inconspicuous, but the momentum that emanated could shock the hearts of most monks.
"I have also heard about this, it is said that there are no less than ten of the three void powerhouses that appeared that night, and even the power that surpasses the three voids seems to have appeared." Uncle Cai, who had been silent and drinking alcohol, suddenly spoke, "The incident of that night is said to be a conspiracy of the Sunset Empire, and the troops were stationed at the border that day. ”
Hearing this, everyone drank wine and didn't answer, they all looked at Uncle Cai, and even the rest of the people on the side came closer.
"Alas, it's just a pity that the Sunset conspiracy failed in the end, and the monks who died in battle that day were no less than tens of thousands, or even more, and there were no more dead mortals in the meantime."
Uncle Cai took a sip of wine, smashed his lips twice, and continued.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, the Sunset Empire sent the powerhouse of the Demon Devouring Gate to Nebula City, but it was calculated by the Chu family of Nebula City, resulting in the plan being abandoned."
"In the end, the Chu family also led an army of monks to attack the sect of the Demon Devouring Sect, and almost wiped it out, none of the monks in the sect that night survived, only a few people who were doing business outside escaped the catastrophe."
Hearing this, Chu Fan's heart tightened, and he was also relieved, the ending was what he expected, he had also seen it, but when he heard it again, his heart couldn't help but be nervous.
"No wonder I went to Nebula City this time, and I didn't feel as prosperous as before, I see." Someone sighed.
"No wonder Sunset finally retreated, it turned out that the nest was almost destroyed, I think they were scared." The scar man looked up at the starry sky, his eyes showing nostalgia, "If one day, the sunset really dares to attack Huaxia, I will definitely carry a knife into battle, and the horse leather will be shrouded." ”
"Just like you, a bear? Excuse me. As soon as the scar man's voice fell, some of the people who came from the fire on the side immediately mocked.
"Haha!"
Everyone laughed, but they didn't see it, in the eyes of the scar man, it was an extremely firm belief, others laughed at it like this, he didn't fight back, just looked at the starry sky, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the space, back to ten years ago, and saw the delicate wife, and innocent daughter.
He is a Chinese, even if he is wandering outside, he is also a Chinese, if there is a day, he will definitely carry a knife into battle, fight to kill the enemy, and protect the country.
Monks are also human beings, and they also have a home and a country!
"Where did the army of the Chu family that took off the Demon Devouring Gate go in the end?" After the laughter, someone looked at Uncle Cai and wondered.
Hearing this, Chu Fan's heartstrings tightened, as if he was about to jump out, his eyes were staring at Uncle Cai, and his eyes seemed to be eating people.
Because, the whereabouts of the Chu family's army really aroused the strings in his heart, and he was both excited and worried.
"I don't know, but it's certain that the Chu family's army has never returned to Nebula City." Uncle Cai replied softly, then lowered his head and drank, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the people on the side didn't ask questions, but chatted with each other, and the topic was the battle of Nebula City, although they all heard it from other people's ears, when it came out of their mouths, it was as if they were in the situation, which was extremely real.
