Chapter 35: The Ancient Wasteland
Lonely night, lonely man,
The mood is melancholy, and the night never sleeps,
Looking out of the window, the cold wind blows,
and desolation, and the stars in the sky accompany me without sleep......
A familiar female voice sounded, Nangong chuckled self-deprecatingly, and the initial tiredness was long gone.
In the depths of the heart that was once slightly touched, there is no longer the best listener, sighing softly, pushing the emotions to the abyss, the most frustrated feeling invades the whole body, and the pain of that moment has gradually faded away with the beautiful scenery......
In the small mountain village of Muyuan Town, Qinghe County, a remote county under Jiangning City, a Porsche Cayenne is slowly approaching. The people who were busy with the rice terraces looked back, and they didn't know who had rich relatives in the village who came to visit them.
Liu Chen sighed at the environment here while driving, and looked at the mountains in front of him with a strong aura, there was a clear spring, and the spring water kept flowing from the cracks in the mountains day and night, trickling and dripping, converging into a small clear stream, passing through the rocks.
Wisps of mist float in the clear blue sky like ribbons, and the two ends of the ribbons are tied to the distant mountains and the nearby farmhouses, and the late autumn and early winter seasons do not affect the beauty of this place in the slightest, and it is as if you have suddenly integrated into the rural life.
Liu Chen remembered his time in the Seven Star Academy of the Immortal Realm, and couldn't help but sigh silently.
When the car stopped in front of a dilapidated house, many villagers gathered in the village. On weekdays, I don't see a few cars a year, but now there is a car that looks more expensive, and I don't know which relative of the old Li family came.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Lee Yeon-hee shouted through the fence more than a meter high after getting out of the car, her tone trembling slightly, and a tear slipped down her beautiful face.
It's been seven years, and she hasn't been back once since she went to college. Not for anything else, just to save those hundreds of dollars in travel expenses. At this time, I finally returned, and the emotions that I had suppressed in my heart also burst out.
After Liu Chen got out of the car, he silently came to Li Yanxi's side and gently held her slender, soft and somewhat cold jade hand. A touch of love and pity appeared on his face, and he murmured in his heart: "Yeon-hee, with me in the future, you just need to be happy and happy." ”
An old woman who looked to be about sixty years old staggered out of the house, and asked with a trembling voice, "Xixi, are you back?"
"Mom!"
Li Yanxi hurriedly stepped up and hugged the old woman in her arms, crying softly.
When the old woman looked up and saw Liu Chen, who was smiling and handsome, she showed a smile and said, "Xixi, is this your boyfriend?"
"Auntie, I'm Hee-hee's boyfriend. ”
Liu Chen grinned, and the sunlight shining on his face reflected a different style.
"Quick, come inside, it's cold outside!" the old woman seemed to react, and hurriedly beckoned the two of them into the house.
When Liu Chen entered the house, he found that it was destitute, with almost only a few simple pieces of furniture. A white-haired old man who looked a little older than the old woman was lying on the bed at this time, his breath was faint and his face was pale.
The crowd of onlookers outside whispered and whispered, and a cold gaze looked into the house from the crowd. Liu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal an evil smile, he couldn't imagine that there were monks in a small mountain village. Liu Chen's mind moved silently, and a powerful divine sense came out of the room, and suddenly the owner of the gloomy gaze snorted and left quickly.
The two chatted with their mother for a while, and the old woman hurriedly went out after Liu Chen entered the house, said hello to the neighbors around her, and went to prepare a meal.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
Li Yanxi came to her father's bed and sat down, holding the old man's big dry hand and asked softly.
"Ahem! Hee Hee is back, I'm fine! It's good! You brought your boyfriend, let Dad see it. ”
The old man coughed a few times, revealing a trace of imperceptible pain, and forced a smile to squeeze out a smile and looked at his daughter tenderly and said.
The second elder strength age is only in his fifties, because of perennial work, coupled with the serious deterioration of physical functions caused by malnutrition, this is what he looks like in his sixties.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, no matter how difficult the parents are, no matter how hard and tired their lives are, they will not say a word of bitterness and tiredness in front of their second daughter, this is the parents. The greatest profession in the world, and the profession of a lifetime.
"Uncle, Hee Hee and I have come to see you. ”
When Liu Chen heard this, he stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!...... Uncle is dying, Hee Hee will ask you in the future. This girl has been sensible since she was a child, you must treat her well. ”
The old man stretched out his big thin and rough hand to hold Liu Chen's hand, and said kindly. There was unwillingness in his eyes, as if he wanted to transfer his most beloved baby to other men to take care of, how to give it up in his heart.
"Don't worry, uncle! You will soon be able to work in the fields. ”
Liu Chen smiled and glanced at Li Yanxi on the side, patted the old man's big hand, and said in a firm tone.
"Hehe! The boy is really good at talking. Okay, okay! I'll be relieved that Hee Hee will hand it over to you. ”
The old man squeezed out a smile, and then coughed violently. Li Yanxi hurriedly helped the old man up and patted him on the back. After a cough, the bright red blood in the old man's palm was particularly dazzling.
The moment Lee Yeon-hee saw it, the big tears couldn't help but slide down her cheeks. Liu Chen held the old man's wrist with his right hand, and a trace of aura entered the old man's body and traveled all over his body, his brows were slightly furrowed and his expression was serious.
After a while, Liu Chen withdrew his spiritual power and smiled bitterly at Li Yanxi: "Uncle's illness is too serious, if the dean makes a move, there may be a glimmer of life." My words can extend my uncle's life for up to ten years. ”
When Li Yanxi and the old man heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. I only heard the old man say excitedly: "Don't say ten years, even if you live for one more year, as long as I can look at Xixi a few more times, I know that your two children will die happily without regrets." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, tomorrow I will go to the mountains to see if there are any herbs you need, you can rest in peace. ”
As Liu Chen spoke, the tip of his right finger was pointed at the center of the old man's eyebrows, and one after another spiritual power was injected into the old man's body, circulating his limbs and hundreds of remains. The old man only felt that the pain before was swept away, and he was like an ordinary person in an instant.
"Are you an immortal?"
The old man's eyes lit up, and he asked with excitement in his tone.
Liu Chen smiled and nodded, his expression was acquiescing, looking at the surprise in the old man's eyes, he looked at Li Yanxi and said, "Xixi, you accompany your uncle, I will come when I go." ”
In addition to the door, Liu Chen saw that the surrounding neighbors had dispersed at this time, his divine sense was released, and the spiritual power in his body turned into a long rainbow and galloped towards the mountain peak not far away.
When Liu Chen came to a big stone in the forest on the mountain, he stood up and shouted softly: "You still haven't shown up when you brought me here?"
"Hmph, Daoist friends must also be here for the ancient wasteland, right?"
A figure appeared on the stone not far from Liu Chen, and as far as Liu Chen could see, he saw that this person was wearing a Mao suit, with a gloomy aura on his body, and he looked like an old man in his fifties with a yellow face and thin muscles. Judging from the breath, the other party's cultivation should also be in the middle stage of the Yudan, which is comparable to his own cultivation.
"Ancient Wasteland?"
Liu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a calm tone.
"Isn't Daoyou here for this ancient wasteland?" the old man asked in a cold tone with a hint of suspicion in his tone.
So what?
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Liu Chen's mouth, and he opened his mouth with a smile.
"I think Daoyou is also a cultivator in the middle stage of the Yudan, if Daoyou is also here for this ancient wasteland, why don't you and I join forces to enter, wouldn't the chances of winning be greater?"
A strange look flashed in the old man's eyes, and his tone softened a lot.
How could this old man's careful thinking escape Liu Chen's eyes, and he sneered in his heart and laughed: "Since Daoyou is also for the ancient wasteland, it is not impossible for me to cooperate with you." ”
"Well, three days later, we will still be here. ”
After the old man finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in a few vertical leaps. After the old man walked away, Liu Chen frowned, wondering in his heart what kind of place this ancient wasteland was.
"Boy, the so-called Ancient Wasteland is the place where some great supernatural monks are buried, and there are dangers and opportunities in it, so you kid can do it yourself. ”
An old voice sounded from Liu Chen's sea of knowledge, and the Seven Star Sword Sword Soul seemed to sense Liu Chen's thoughts, and said leisurely.
Since the last battle with Shangguan Yue, the Seven Star Sword had consumed too much of its own soul power, and it had once again changed back to the appearance of a rusty iron sword. Today is the first time that the sword soul has spoken in more than ten days, and it must have recovered a little.
"Stinky boy, if you really plan to go to that ancient wasteland, I suggest you hurry up and refine the Xuantian crystal you got from your father-in-law and fuse it into the Seven-Star Sword before going. ”
Sword Soul said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, revealing some other information between his words.
"Well, it's time to merge him into the Seven Star Sword, you don't say I've forgotten about it. ”
After Liu Chen got the Xuantian Crystal, he couldn't wait to integrate into the Seven Star Sword, but at that time, his cultivation was only in the early stage of the Dan Alliance, and it was extremely difficult to refine, so he simply gave up first. But now that he has reached the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Yudan, it must not be difficult to refine the Xuantian crystal.
After Liu Chen made up his mind, his figure disappeared from the spot. When he came to the courtyard of Li Yanxi's house, he heard a family of three chatting inside, and a few happy laughter came from time to time. The corners of Liu Chen's mouth rose to reveal a smile, pushed the door and walked in.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm back!"
Liu Chen said hello to the second elder, turned his head to look at Li Yanxi, and found that Li Yanxi's beautiful eyes were also looking at him, and his eyes seemed to say: Thank you, Liu Chen.
During dinner, Lee Yeon-hee's father was able to get out of bed. If outsiders see it, they will definitely think that it is back to light. Li Yanxi threw a grateful look at Liu Chen, and when she saw Liu Chen's squinting eyes, she immediately blushed after remembering what happened last night.
glared at Liu Chen angrily, and after tasting the wonderful taste of the forbidden fruit, a trace of expectation rose in his heart.
After a meal, Liu Chen accompanied the second elder to chat about Li Yanxi's childhood embarrassment, which caused Li Yanxi to beat her chest for a while, and her appearance was extremely cute.
