Looking at this neat courtyard, Xu Luo could imagine that when the old man's family was there, it must have been a harmonious and warm family, with loving old people, lively children, and filial piety to his son and daughter-in-law.

Today, the courtyard is still clean and neat, but the happiness of the year has long since become unrecognizable.

Xu Luo's mood was very low.

The old man raised his head, looked at Xu Luo's expression, and showed a kind smile: "Young man, don't feel sad for me, this is life." ”

"This is not life!" Xu Luo also raised his head and looked at the old man's ravine-ridden old face: "Life shouldn't be like this." ”

"But what can be done then?" the old man sighed: "We are not the kind of big people who hold the power of life and death, and we don't have the ability to fly around, so what can we do except endure this kind of life in obedience?"

"Resist? I can't even hold a finger on someone's shoulder!"

"I'm really not attacking you, young man, perhaps, you have not weak strength, your cultivation is very high, and you can fly around in the sky. ”

"But the current city lord, do you know who is behind him?"

The old man looked at Xu Luo and muttered, "Behind him, is above this emperor star...... The supreme storage zài!"

"He didn't even need any reason to make this city raze to the ground and turn to ashes. ”

"After We Are All Sinners......

Xu Luo raised his head, his eyes were very bright, revealing sincerity: "Old man, do you think so yourself? Do you really think that your ancestors are sinners?"

The old man shook his head: "Of course not!"

"My ancestors are heroes!

"The ancestors of the vast majority of people in this city are heroes!"

"How can they be sinners?"

Xu Luo looked at the old man: "Then why, do you still want to say this?"

"Young people, history...... It has always been written by the victors. In the old man's somewhat dimly dull eyes, a touch of loss flashed: "I'm an old immortal, when I was a child, I used to read books for a few years, and I have some knowledge." ”

"I know very well who my ancestors were, and I also know that they fought bloodily for their relatives and friends not to suffer from the **** of foreign races, and they died for the sake of this world, and they deserve to enjoy a monument instead of being humiliated like now. ”

"But I know all of this...... What's the use?"

"On this day, more people in the ancient city have already accepted the fact that they are the descendants of sinners, even if I go to tell them now: Our ancestors are all heroes of this world, they will not believe it either!"

The old man raised his head, looked at Xu Luo, and smiled bitterly: "Can you understand this feeling of depression and grievance?"

"I can understand that. Xu Luo said in a deep voice, stood up, and paced back and forth in the small courtyard, and at this time, Xu Luo was already very clear in his heart, what the problem was.

Just like Tianyue didn't want to let go of himself until today, everyone in the entire Tiangu City ...... He didn't want to let it go!

But for various reasons, even if Tianyue is now the most powerful person in the entire Emperor Star, he can't do whatever he wants.

He can send his own people to become the city lord of Tiangu City; he can use the power in his hands to make the descendants of those heroes of Tiangu City not allowed to cultivate; he can even reverse right and wrong, so that the descendants of these heroes of Tiangu City think that they are sinners......

However, he couldn't cover the eyes of all the big people on this emperor star!

No one has come forward to accuse him publicly, but that doesn't mean that everyone's hearts and eyes are blind.

If Tianyue dared to destroy the Tiangu City, then some of the real elders on the Emperor Star would definitely not sit idly by.

At that time, Tianyue Ke was really guilty of public anger.

In fact, the current Tiangu City has been completely destroyed...... There isn't much difference either.

The descendants of those heroes back then are now living a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs.

The whole family of the city lord is here to be powerful and prosperous, and they have the power to kill and take away.

This city, in the eyes of countless people, is no different from a dead city.

"So, young man, you better get out of this city quickly. The old man looked at Xu Luo and sighed, "Although I don't know why you came here, I guess...... You have your own reasons. ”

"But...... This city is not something you can save alone!"

"And there is no one in this city who can help you. ”

"If something happens to you, you can't say anything about it, and no one will thank you. ”

"Instead, they'll think you're the one who caused them!"

"Because at that time, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

"I have taken life and death lightly, and it is not a pity to die, but on this day, not everyone in the ancient city is like me, without worry. ”

Xu Luo nodded, hugged his fist at the old man, and gave a serious salute: "Old man, thank you for your words, the younger generation has taken it to heart." ”

"Old man, please rest assured, the younger generation has never seen you!"

"Farewell!"

Xu Luo said, his figure flashed, and he disappeared directly into this neat courtyard.

A few fallen leaves, swept up by a breeze, slowly fall again after a few turns in mid-air.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on the old man, adding a bit of vicissitudes and desolation.

The old man sighed, shook his head slightly, bent his waist, and entered the room.

Then, a heavy sigh came from the room: "Another stubborn young man, I don't know where I heard the story of Tiangu City, relying on his young blood, he thought about changing the fate of the people here...... Alas!"

"I'm very old, and I've secretly stopped thirteen of these young people over the years, but all of them have died here, without exception. ”

"I hope you're an exception and make it out of this city alive...... This one...... Demon Cave!"

.........

Xu Luo appeared on the streets of Tiangu City, and the streets were full of people with yellow skins and thin clothes, most of them had little look in their eyes, and their faces were full of vicissitudes.

Walking in a hurry on the streets of Tiangu City, he was running all kinds of ways for his livelihood.

"Sugar gourd...... Delicious sugar gourds! A string of copper plates!"

"Tofu...... Freshly out of the pot, fresh tofu ......"

"Authentic rice wine, mellow, century-old store, reputation guaranteed!"

His ears were filled with all kinds of shouting sounds, and Xu Luo looked around, although those merchants shouted loudly, there were very few people who really patronized the business.

"This is a city where you can hardly feel any life!" Xu Luo muttered to himself.

At this time, he saw a young woman, holding a little girl of five or six years old in one hand, and a pocket in the other, in which from time to time came a few hen crows.

The little girl who was being led by the young woman had obviously changed the old clothes worn by adults, and many of them were patched, but they were very clean and spotless.

The little girl had two pigtails and big black eyes, which were very bright and looked around curiously. One hand grabbed his mother's hand tightly, and there was a faint shyness in his eyes.

Compared with this innocent little girl, her mother, this young woman, seemed much more nervous.

The young woman's skin was very white, her hair was wrapped in a piece of cloth, and her clothes were very shabby, but they were as clean as the child she was holding in her hands.

Perhaps deliberately wanting to keep a low profile and not wanting to attract the attention of others, the young woman kept her head down when she walked, and she walked a little fast. If it weren't for the care of the child, she might have gone faster.

"Mom, Mom, I want to eat a bunch of sugar gourds!" the little girl made a crisp call at this time, and her eyes looked in the direction of the sugar gourd seller on the side of the road, her eyes full of longing.

The young woman hesitated slightly, pursed her lips, thought about it, bent down, and said in a low voice: "Grandma is still sick, and she needs this old hen soup to recuperate her body, and we don't have much money in our family anymore, so my mother can't buy you this string of sugar gourds, can you understand my mother's difficulties?"

The little girl blinked her big black eyes like jewels and nodded: "I can understand, but I still want to eat sugar gourds......"

The conversation between the mother and daughter may or may not be heard by the people around them, but no one pays them any attention.

People passed by the mother and daughter without looking at them much.

Xu Luo heard it clearly, he thought about it, walked to the vendor selling sugar gourds, took out a small piece of loose silver, and asked, "These silvers, do you want to buy a string of sugar gourds?"

The vendor selling sugar gourds was a young man in his twenties, and when he heard Xu Luo's words, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes fell on the silver in Xu Luo's hand, his eyes suddenly straightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times: "This son...... You're not kidding, are you......? Buy a bunch of sugar gourds?"

"What, isn't enough?" Xu Luo glanced at the young trader, a little displeased in his heart.

Just now, I was still shouting there, a string of copper plates, and the silver I gave me was no problem in exchanging it for a hundred copper plates, but this young peddler was still too little? Could it be that I think I have a good temper?

Xu Luo frowned slightly.

"No, no, you misunderstood, Childe, it's really ...... You've given too much, I, I've never seen silver!" The young peddler obviously reacted as well, and what he said was misunderstood, and hurriedly apologized to Xu Luo.

Xu Luo smiled, put the silver in the young vendor's hand, then picked a string of the best and most sugary, plucked it from the straw bale, and then turned around and walked towards the mother and daughter.

At this time, a chaotic voice suddenly came from afar, and an arrogant and domineering voice came: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way, a group of sinners, are they all blind?

Rumble!

The crowd around them dispersed, and on the ancient bluestone road, in the distance, three or four horses galloped wildly.

There is no intention of slowing down at all.

The one who is the leader is the one who makes a domineering and arrogant voice, dressed as a family, but the momentum on his face is stronger than that of ordinary nobles.

Behind a tall black horse, there sat a young man with a face like a crown of jade, with a high-spirited expression, high on the top, looking forward to life.

The young man's gaze suddenly fell on the young woman's body, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face: "That little lady is good, take it away!"

"Yes!" The man dressed as a family in front of him simply responded and rushed directly towards the young woman holding the little girl: "My young master has taken a fancy to you, don't you hurry up and kowtow to thank you!"

Xu Luo's eyes narrowed, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

At this moment, there was a noise full of envy and jealousy in the surrounding crowd.

Xu Luo was slightly stunned.
