The East China Sea is vast and boundless, with eight families and sixteen countries of two ethnic groups, each with one side.

Taijian, the name of the country is like an island, it is the name of Taijian, 600 miles before and after, 600 miles in length and width, the city is close, but the pavilions are sparse, standing in twos and threes, between the ups and downs, in the dense jungle. The shadow is faintly visible, the flow of people is scarce, and the communication is weak, just like Lu Chen's original understanding, the whole country is poor, and the people are not able to make a living, so they have to do everything every day just to beg for food.

Up to the lord of the country, the house is leaky, down to the Li Min, the face is yellow and thin.

There are 3,000 frozen bones on the road, but there is no smell of Zhumen wine and meat.

Zhumen, you have to have wine and meat, but you can't do it, but you can't do it in the mansion of the lord of the country.

After staying here for a while, Lu Chen naturally knew what he ate every day, the most common thing was sea fish, but there was nothing else besides these. Although he stayed at home and didn't know much, Lu Chen already had a certain number in his heart about what kind of situation Taijian was like.

Now that he has returned to this place again, he has gone through a lot, and he is also a little depressed in his heart.

This Taijian is one of the eight families and sixteen countries of the two ethnic groups, but his life is not as good as when he was in the mountains in the past.

After all, there are beasts, grasses, and abundant resources in the mountains, and even though they are full of dangers, they don't have to worry about their livelihoods, but they just want to be better. However, in Taijian, food and clothing have become a problem, and this island is in the middle of the wilderness, and there is no other resource to be found except for a little in the sea.

The danger in the sea is even more terrible than in the mountains.

Looking at those people with yellow muscles, Lu Chen didn't feel good in his heart.

In this city, he had walked with Liao Yulan, but now when he looks at it again, there is no difference, and he can even see more. The potholed streets, the children hiding in the corners, the listless vendors in the streets and alleys, the sparse pedestrians coming and going, a scene of decay.

Why, did Taiwan end up like this?

Lu Chen sniffled, walked to the vendors on the street, took some spiritual essences, bought some food, and sent them to the children. After all, compared to the spirit spirits, what they needed most was these things, and lest they would be snatched by others, so they would eat them directly, and then Lu Chen finally left.

The residence of the lord of the kingdom is located in the most corner of the city.

After searching all the way, Lu Chen didn't want to look around anymore, because there were not many spirits left in his body, and he couldn't help too many people.

Just try your best, if you want to change the entire Taijian, but it is not a day or two.

When you come to the mansion of the lord, the vermilion gate in front of you is also cracked with lacquer, and when you enter it, all you see in front of you is a scene of decline. Those courtyard squares, overgrown with weeds, had been left unattended for too long, as if they had not entered the mansion of the lord of the country, but had come to the wilderness.

"It's too bitter..."

Lu Chen sighed lightly and didn't linger any longer.

The head of the Gongsun family was here, and he had already noticed his arrival, releasing some breath to guide the direction. Not long after, the two met each other, and in the dilapidated building where Liao Yulan had been sealed and suppressed, Liao Yulan was still sitting in the corner with an embarrassed appearance.

She was holding her legs, her hair was scattered, her body was full of filth, her hands and feet were bloodstained, and her nails were peeling off a few pieces, which looked a little terrible. I don't know what happened in the past few days since I left, Liao Yulan's clothes have become tattered, but fortunately, she can still cover her body, but she is a little too unsightly.

Regarding Lu Chen's appearance, Liao Yulan only glanced up slightly, her eyes were gloomy, and she quickly lowered it again.

Hanging deeper than before.

"Liang'er and Qin Tian haven't arrived yet, and they said that they were going back to get some things, which should be for you. ”

The head of the Gongsun family spoke slowly.

He was standing outside the porch, looking at him with his hands in his hands, and he couldn't hear anything unusual.

"How could she be?"

Lu Chen ignored Liao Yulan and went directly to the head of the Gongsun family.

"If she wants to break through the ban and suppression, or the demonic influence in her heart, I don't know what she did to make herself look like this. ”

The head of the Gongsun family sighed lightly, looked back at Liao Yulan in the corner, and frowned slightly.

He asked her many questions, but he would not answer anything, but sat in the corner like this, without raising his head or speaking. And what happened before, she should know in her heart that although the Closed Breath Pill can make people fall into a state of suspended animation, everything in the outside world can at least be heard. Whether it is the fallen demon of the lord of Taijian, or what the demon spirit has done with us, there is no need to say much. ”

Lu Chen only nodded slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

He also looked at Liao Yulan, opened his mouth, and finally closed it again.

Liao Yulan's current appearance, I'm afraid no one can say much to her.

Her biological father died in the demon, but the demon spirit was not in control, and those changes completely shattered all her original hopes. Originally, it was only a little bit successful, but in the end, it fell short, lost his father, lost hope, and the whole Taijian never had a chance to usher in prosperity. Yes, but it was only sacrifice and loss, and it did not get a single penny.

Whoever it is, it should be.

"What are you going to do with her?"

After a long time, Lu Chen finally spoke.

The head of the Gongsun family glanced at him, sighed again, and shook his head slightly.

"I don't know. ”

As he spoke, he walked away slowly, came to Liao Yulan and squatted down, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at it for a long time, but his brows furrowed deeper.

"What happened in the past few days after leaving, how did she become like this, I can't see it at all, and there is no residual demonic energy on her body, it should not be caused by demonic nature. However, the harm of demonic nature should have been lost in her mind to take advantage of the void, and with her current state, if she was really infected with demonic nature, she should not be so calm. Thinking about it like this, Qin Tian scattered the demon spirit that day, maybe it was also to disperse its influence on her, at least this appearance did not look like it was polluted by demonic nature. ”

"Then let her go?"

Lu Chen blinked his eyes and stepped forward as well.

But the two of them were only two steps away from her, and Liao Yulan didn't react, even if her life was in her hands, she never looked up again. She was only silent, silent, silent, immovable, silent, as if she was dead, as if she had long lost the idea of living, and she didn't care about what Lu Chen and the head of the Gongsun family said.

But if that's really the case, when she comes today, Liao Yulan should have died.

I'm still alive...

What kind of thoughts she had in her heart, Lu Chen couldn't guess it, so even the head of the Gongsun family had a hard time, and she had never encountered these.

"I don't know what to do. If you let it go, you will only be afraid that the demonic nature will be hidden in your heart, and the future will be another trouble, and it will be a big trouble. But this seat can't find out, if it's really just a suspicion, it will kill this life, and this seat is really uneasy in my heart. ”

The head of the Gongsun family shook his head, got up and left, went to the outside of the corridor, and said no more.

Lu Chen sat down on the spot, his eyes complicated.

He looked at Liao Yulan, but the latter buried his head between his knees, even if he could hear what the two of them were saying, there was no wave. Even the breath, heartbeat, and breathing did not change even for a moment.

After a long time, Lu Chen finally spoke slowly.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

“......”

Liao Yulan raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Chen with a pair of gray eyes, and didn't answer, just looked at it like this. With her arms still on her legs, she hid in this corner, as if this was the only place where she really belonged.

Lu Chen also looked at Liao Yulan.

The gaze met, but nothing could be seen in those gray eyes.

It makes no difference whether you live or die.

Life is nothing but death, and death is not hindered.

Lu Chen looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, only to suddenly feel that this kind of look was familiar. Just like when the general was separated from the Slave Soul Jade, he escaped from Yueling City and went to the Mingyue Immortal Palace, which was also the same feeling, and there was nothing to love.

In this world, there is no nostalgia anymore.

Fortunately, I met Qin Shusheng, who ran away from home.

Gongsun Wanqing.

If it weren't for that, he would have been buried in the sea many years ago, with no bones left, and fed to fish and shrimp.

However, Lu Chen still had Qin Shusheng and Gongsun Wanqing at the beginning, but now Liao Yulan has nothing. There is only one Qin scholar, only one Gongsun Wanqing, and the only one who belongs to Lu Chen, and Liao Yulan does not have her own Qin scholar and Gongsun Wanqing.

Lu Chen was stunned, and he also felt sad in his heart.

Although there are some grievances and hatreds, but after all, Liao Yulan was instructed by Liao Yuhuan, if you really want to talk about it, she herself is not too much at fault, how did she end up in such a field?

Heaven is not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Chen sighed softly and slowly got up.

"I..."

Liao Yulan's sudden opening made Lu Chen, who was about to take a step, stunned in place.

When he turned around, Liao Yulan was looking up at him, her originally gray eyes had been filled with water, and the traces of the slide had made the dust and blood on her face, but she was finally no longer so dead.

Lu Chen didn't answer, nor did he urge, just waited quietly.

The head of the Gongsun family didn't make any moves, but he also turned his mind around.

"I... I miss Daddy..."

She spoke softly, her shoulders trembling, her voice choked, her teeth biting the corners of her lips, spilling a little blood, but she still didn't notice.

"Daddy, he... It wasn't like that..."

"He is very gentle, for the country and the people, he works hard every day, and he never dares to slack off..."

"Just so that everyone can live a good life..."

"Exactly... When exactly did he start to become a different person..."

......

The cuckoo cries blood, and that's it.

Lu Chen felt more and more depressed in his heart, but the head of the Gongsun family had already turned around, and his eyes were full of gloom.

"Demonic energy. ”

Lu Chen could see clearly, the head of the Gongsun family did not make a sound, only his mouth could be seen clearly.

You can't go wrong with those two words.

Liao Yulan's voice trembled and kept talking, but there was not a trace of demonic energy on her body, and Lu Chen didn't notice it. But the head of the Gongsun family has no reason to deceive him, although he has never found out, but under Haoran's righteousness, it should be just a little insignificant, and it is enough to perceive.

Liao Yulan, whose voice was sad and tears were falling, was really dyed with demonic nature...

So, it was only at this point that it finally collapsed completely, and it was no longer able to bear it?

Lu Chen suddenly gritted his teeth, and his fingers clenched.

Can... And how?
