"You don't have to. ”

Lu Chen shook his head, and turned to look at Nian Chen and the old man.

Whether it is Nianchen or the old man, they are just ordinary, they do not have any cultivation, and they are not monks. When shuttling through the void, you have to protect Lu Chen and Qin Fang, otherwise there will inevitably be an accident. If what Qin Fang said was true, Lu Chenzhi didn't mind letting Nianchen and the old man enter the Qin family, after all, Qin Fang dared to swear with his Dao heart and protect the two of them well, it was better than suffering by his side, or finding a place to settle down at random and barely survive.

That's the only thing, and you have to agree to it.

"Xiao Nianchen, are you willing to go to the Qin family with this big brother and become a monk?"

Lu Chen made his voice and eyes more gentle, for fear of startling Nian Chen, who had just encountered those things.

Hearing this, Nian Chen's face showed a little hesitation, and then turned his head to look at the old man.

"Do it, there's nothing bad about it. ”

The old man shook his head slightly and laughed.

He can see it, and he also believes that Lu Chen will not harm the two of them.

"Grandpa is old, he is already half in the ground, and he won't be able to live for long, and he can't take care of you for too long. If you really want to talk about it, if this little brother is really willing to take good care of you, it is naturally an excellent choice. What's more, if you become a monk, no one can bully you anymore, and you can eat delicious food every day, wear new clothes, and don't have to suffer. ”

"Grandpa..."

Nianchen pouted, and his big eyes were full of tears.

The old man sighed softly, took Nianchen over, hugged her in his arms, and let her cry.

"Go ahead, be a monk, don't seek immortality or immortals, just live in peace. In the future, if Grandpa is not in the world, you will be alone. At that time, you may encounter a lot of troubles and setbacks, but you must remember to live well as your grandfather's last hope for you, okay?"

Lu Chen listened to it on the sidelines, as if the old man was explaining what was going on. He glanced at Qin Fang, turned around and walked into the distance, and asked the grandfather and grandson to talk well.

Not long after, the old man led Nianchen back, and both of them had some tears on their faces.

"Little brother, in the future, I will hand over Nianchen to you. I don't ask for anything from a bad old man, I just hope that if I am not there in the future, you can treat Nianchen well, she is a good child. ”

The old man pushed Nian Chen in front of Qin, and then turned to Lu Chen.

"Child, I know you've had some bad experiences, but everything will pass and everything will see the light of day. Just like my grandfather and grandson, today, aren't they also looking forward to hope? In the future, Nianchen will live a better life, and my old man will be able to enjoy his old age in peace, without having to run around and be tired. Everything will be fine, and there is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome. As a monk, no matter how good you cultivate, only when you are strong in your heart can you be truly strong. You are no longer young, learn to face, learn to accept, and believe in this God, you will not disappoint any kind and hard-working people. ”

He patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and sighed again.

"Yes, I see. ”

Lu Chen nodded slightly, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.

After only a moment's pause, the old man suddenly pulled Lu Chen and Qin Fang into the distance, leaving Nian Chen waiting in place with his eyes wide open.

Lu Chen and Qin Fang didn't know what the old man was doing, and said that he was still not at ease.

"Old man, don't worry, I swear by my Dao heart, there is no half a lie in my previous words!

"It doesn't have to be that way. ”

The old man shook his head and stopped Qin Fang's oath.

However, there was a lot of complexity on his face, he looked at Lu Chen, looked at Qin Fang, and then glanced at Nian Chen in the distance, and then sighed deeply.

"There's one thing I want to do... I should tell you. ”

The old man frowned, his cloudy eyes flickering slightly.

"Little brother, you said earlier that Nianchen is a physique for refining the body, but you have already seen something extraordinary?"

"This..."

Qin Fang was stunned, but he didn't expect that the old man was talking about this.

"Old man, don't you believe my words? Xiao Nianchen definitely has a physique of refining the body, and he is a natural immortal seedling, not a lie I told in order to let you go to the Qin family with me to settle down. It's just that I really can't see the specifics, that's the truth, blame me for not having enough eyesight, I can only see a little bit of hazy. Everything has to be seen by my Qin family elders to know. ”

"Could it be... What special thing do you know?"

Lu Chen's heart moved slightly and asked.

The old man nodded slightly, his face more complicated.

"Nianchen, I've been by my side for more than two years..."

He paused for a moment, then looked back at Nianchen, who was standing there obediently and unmoving, his brows furrowed.

"It stands to reason that children at this age should grow up very quickly, not to mention one day at a time, but in two years, there will definitely be a lot of changes. You see Nianchen's current appearance, she is six or seven years old, exactly the same as when I picked her up two years ago..."

"This..."

Lu Chen and Qin Fang's eyes widened, and they looked at Nian Chen in the distance in disbelief.

Only Nianchen still didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that the three of them were looking at him, he was still waving his hand from afar.

"I've asked her a lot of things, kid. ”

The old man spoke again.

But she doesn't remember anything, she only remembers that her name is Nianchen, and she wants to find her father, and she says that she has been looking for a long, long time, and I don't know how many years she has been looking for, but she still hasn't found it... Listening to the meaning of her words, this child should have lived in this world for a long time, but it has always been like this. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen and Qin Fang were even more stunned.

Xiao Nianchen...

She has lived for an unknown amount of time, and even she has forgotten herself.

Under this small appearance, could it be that there is an old monster hidden?

"But the child is not disgusting, and he is simple and kind-hearted. I guess she lived for a long time, but she was always like this, never grew up, never got dusty. I tell you this in the hope that you will find out in the future that you will not have a different view of her. This kid is a good boy. ”

The old man sighed lightly and took Qin Fang's hand.

"Little brother, I told you everything, if you don't believe it, you can also go to the village outside the city to ask, everyone knows about it. In this way, if you are still willing to take in my grandfather and grandson, I will be grateful. If you don't want to, my old man won't blame anything, I just ask you to treat Nianchen as an ordinary child, and not as an alien like everyone else. ”

"Outliers... That's because they don't understand. ”

Qin Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

"Nianchen doesn't grow big, I think it's a physical problem. There are so many wonderful and mysterious creatures in the world, and there are countless mysteries and incomprehensions that we monks have innumerable incomprehension when they observe the way of heaven and explore the truth of nature. It is indeed extraordinary that it does not grow up, but how can we fully see through the wonders of nature? What's more, I swore with my Dao heart that I would never break my word, if anyone dares to treat Nianchen as an outlier, I will be the first to disagree!"

"That's good, that's good..."

The old man patted Qin Fang's hand again and again, and there were tears on his face. If it weren't for Qin Fang's pull, the old man would have knelt on the ground.

After a long time, the old man finally collected his emotions and returned to Nianchen with Lu Chen and Qin Fang.

"In this way, I can only go back to the Qin family first, and then rush to meet you. ”

Qin Fang looked at Lu Chen, and then at the old man and Nian Chen beside him.

"The two of them are weak and can't bear the continuous rush, so it's better to settle down as soon as possible. You go back to the mountains to find your father and mother first, but no matter what happens, you must not act rashly, and wait until I arrive to make plans. ”

“... Good. ”

Lu Chen bit the corner of his lip and nodded after all.

Lu Chen and Qin Fang already had a guess in their hearts, and they also expected what would happen, but they didn't say it explicitly. The old man and Nian Chen on the side also looked at Lu Chen worriedly. Although the two of them didn't know what it was, Lu Chen's appearance was enough to explain everything.

"Big brother. ”

Nianchen suddenly screamed.

Lu Chen also turned his head to look, as before, trying to make his appearance look more gentle, squatting in front of her.

"Big brother, your father and mother will be fine. ”

Nian Chen reached out and stroked Lu Chen's dog-faced mask, his big eyes full of worry.

"But no matter what happens, the big brother must be calm and must not be reckless. If something happens, Nianchen will be very uncomfortable, and he will cry for a long, long time... Big brother, do you promise to read the dust, let's pull Gougou!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's pupils trembled slightly.

He looked at Nian Chen's white fingers in front of him, and he couldn't help but have thousands of complicated emotions in his heart. An innocent and clear child, she is like the most beautiful flower in the world, not stained with dust, and like a spring breeze, which can soothe the deep scars of people's hearts.

"Okay, pull goo. ”

Lu Chen opened his mouth, smiled suddenly, and stretched out his hand, hooking it with her white little finger.

The big hand was connected to the small hand, and Nianchen finally smiled, his eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.

"Big brother, Nian Chen will definitely cultivate hard, become very powerful, and then protect the big brother!"

"Okay, Nianchen will protect the big brother in the future!"

Lu Chen's heart fluctuated slightly, and suddenly a little reluctance rose.

However, I had to give up.

He got up and exhaled a cloudy breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the unspeakable words in his heart.

"Gone. ”

Qin Fang stepped forward and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.

"Three hundred miles south of Yueling City. ”

Lu Chen sorted out his emotions and informed Qin Fang of the location of Dashan, and then watched the group of three enter the void crack and embark on the way out.

Nianchen was still looking back, waving his hand constantly.

"Big brother, we pulled the hook, we can't talk and don't count!"

She shouted again.

"Hooked, of course it counts!"

Lu Chen tried to make himself laugh and waved his hand as well.

The Void Crack was completely restored after all, and Xiao Nianchen's figure also disappeared in it, and went to the Qin family with Qin Fang. If we say goodbye like this, we will be able to see each other in the future, it is unknown...

Lu Chen looked down at his hand again.

After being distracted for a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Even if I want to talk and count, how many people in this world want to force me not to count... Xiao Nianchen, I hope you can live a good life under the protection of Qin Fang in the future, and Qin Shusheng will take good care of you..."

Lu Chen closed his eyes and let himself relax.

However, when he opened it again, there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Liangyi Gate... If something happens to my father and mother, I will kill you with a knife and avenge my father!"
