Chapter 323: Hometown

Yinzhou and Lanzhou are adjacent to each other, and there are no obvious signs in most places except for a few boundary monuments erected at several major intersections on the border boundary line where the boundary and soil meet. This division of state land boundaries, including the regional demarcation of the Hongmeng main boundary that is now known as one city and ninety states, is actually mostly inherited from the customs of the Heavenly Demon King Court era in the past.

This is not only the reason why conventions have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also related to the fact that after the human race overthrew the Heavenly Demon King Court, the former Yuan Wentian gave up the opportunity to establish himself as the emperor, resulting in the fact that the human race did not have a strong dynasty for a long time in the future. Over the years, the secular power in the Hongmeng realms has been more scattered in the hands of a number of cultivators, especially the Four Righteous Sects, and the powerful chambers of commerce such as the Immortal Society also have potential forces that cannot be underestimated, but some things such as demarcation on the surface, no one has done it.

Walking through the boundary between Lanzhou and Yinzhou, in fact, I really can't see the difference between the two ends of the boundary, the same land, the same grass and trees, and even the same mountains and rivers in some places. Sitting in the carriage of the carriage she bought, Xu Xueying relaxed and lay down, although the carriage would be a little bumpy from time to time along the way, which was not very comfortable, but with her physical condition at the moment, of course, it was still much more comfortable than walking.

So when Xu Xueying knew from Shen Shi's mouth that she had entered the territory of Yinzhou at this moment, she actually didn't feel anything, in her heart, Hongmeng was all over the state, and the only one with a different meaning to her was her hometown Haizhou.

The carriage that walked gently along the main road was bought by Shen Shi from Tonghe City, ordinary but sturdy and clean, exactly the most common kind in the world. The cart was also pulled by an old horse with a few years of experience, walking quietly all the way, and walking towards the depths of Yinzhou in the sound of the wheels flipping.

There was a blue cloth curtain in front of the carriage, separating Shen Shi who was sitting in the rush seat from Xu Xueying in the carriage, but the curtain was not too thick, and Xu Xueying could see Shen Shi's back through the light recruited from outside, including the fox who had stayed in the carriage for a while and ran out, and then squatted beside Shen Shi a little strangely.

I don't know when it started, Xu Xueying suddenly found that Shen Shi didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that after he entered Yinzhou, the whole person suddenly fell silent. Except for the occasional promise when Xu Xueying opened his mouth to ask, he almost kept silent the rest of the time, his eyes kept looking ahead, and he seemed to keep looking at this piece of world.

Xu Xueying was a little puzzled, but Shen Shi had told her to stay in the carriage and not come out, so that she could recuperate with peace of mind, and also prevent outsiders from seeing her appearance just in case. You must know that although Huang Phosphorus Mountain is in Lanzhou, it is so close to Yinzhou, so it is not surprising that the old monster is a person from Yinzhou. So she said to the man outside through the curtain of the car:

"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you? I see that you have been silent all the way, as if you have something in mind?"

As soon as her voice came out, Shen Shi and the snow fox sitting in front of the car turned their heads at the same time, Shen Shi was fine, but the fox turned his head and looked a little weird, and he was a little humanoid in a trance, which startled Xu Xueying, and couldn't help but shrink back slightly, and then reacted, but he scolded with a smile and said:

"How does this fox look at me like a human?"

Shen Shi patted the fox's head and pulled it to his side, the fox screamed twice, looking a little dissatisfied, and turned his head to glare at the carriage. Shen Shi didn't care about her, and after telling Xu Xueying in the carriage to lie down and rest for a long time, he then glanced at the front of the road, only to see that there were few pedestrians on the spacious and flat road, which was very clean, he sighed after a while, and said:

"Actually, I grew up here in Yinzhou when I was a child. ”

"Huh?" Xu Xueying was taken aback, with a look of surprise on her face, about Shen Shi, when she was actually at home in Liuyun City, she had secretly inquired about some news about him, but of course the elders of the Xu family didn't know much about this Lingxiao Sect disciple, and the only best way to inquire Sun You rarely came to the Xu family after cultivating, especially after he was cultivated by his grandfather Elder Sun Mingyang and clearly established as the successor of the next generation of the head of the Sun family, there was even less contact with the Xu family.

It was Shen Shi's youth, Xu Xueying didn't know most of them, and when she heard Shen Shi say this at this moment, she suddenly became interested, and couldn't help but get up and sit, leaning on the side of the carriage, and then gently opened the curtain to reveal a gap, and looked out.

Maybe it was the words that Shen Shi said before, which gave her another taste in her heart, and at this moment, looking at the scenery in Yinzhou, Xu Xueying suddenly felt that it seemed to be a little different from Lanzhou.

The land is wider, the trees are taller, the rivers and mountains are clearer, and the clouds on the horizon seem to be more dense than those on the Lanzhou side, and they look a little darker.

"Is it about to rain over there?" Xu Xueying retracted her gaze and asked Shen Shi with some curiosity.

Shen Shi raised his head, silently glanced at the somewhat hazy sky, and after a moment of silence, he said: "No, in the distance in that direction, there should be a very tall mountain range called Tianyin Mountain, the terrain of that mountain range is also a little different from other places, the clouds gather all year round, and the people who live under that mountain range have seen the hazy sky for most of their lives." ”

"Ah, I see......" Xu Xueying glanced at the dense gray clouds in the distant sky, and then asked, "Brother Shen, where did you say your hometown is in Yinzhou?"

The corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes looked at the gray clouds, gradually becoming a little cold. Xu Xueying didn't feel it behind him, but the fox who was pressed by him seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up at him.

After a while, Shen Shi pointed to the hazy sky and said calmly: "It's over there, under Tianyin Mountain, Xilu City." ”

"Will we pass by there?"

"Yes. ”

Haizhou Liuyun City, the old residence of the Xu family.

The dull and oppressive aura that hung over the Xu family had lasted for many days, but until today, there was still no sign of dissipation. Miss Snow Shadow still has no sign of coming back, the faces of the old ancestor and the second master and several others are as dark as a day, although the Xu family is still searching with all their might, but the feeling of despair has been inexorably accumulated in everyone's hearts.

After so many days of no news, even the slightest clue has not been found, many people have actually given up in their hearts, in this case, perhaps only Xu Xueying's closest relatives still have the last bit of hope, that is, I hope that the vast immortal society may be able to have a miracle.

It's just that on this day, when Sun You came out of the Immortal Society, walked into Xu's house with a blue face, and shook his head silently in the living room to his grandmother and two uncles, the last glimmer of hope was also shattered.

In a breathless depression, the old lady Xu who was sitting at the top seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, waved her hand with deep tiredness, and said softly: "Forget it, accept your fate......

Xu Teng and Xu Xing looked at each other speechlessly, their faces were full of sadness, but after Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly brightened a little, as if she was a little energetic, beckoned to Sun You, and said, "Xiaoyou, come here, grandmother has something to say to you." ”

Sun You's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded in agreement:

"Yes. ”
