Shen Chai looked back, looked at the people on the path of the cliff, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, after this battle, although the Xuanye Sect had borne this catastrophe, but everyone, including Hongchen, had suffered a great loss in strength, and the realm had fallen to a level, and the loss of vitality made them even more precarious, and the Xuanye Sect wanted to restore its former demeanor, I am afraid that it would be extremely difficult.

Hongchen wanted to lead the Xuanye Sect to give the young man a ride, but he was refused, and Shen Chai left only Hongtong alone, Hongtong was the youngest, and the damage in the Qiyan Blood Array was also the smallest, and that simple little face still looked clear and lovely.

It's just that Shen Chai understands that its hidden dangers will slowly emerge in the years to come.

The three of them walked towards the foot of the mountain, the air of the Linghe Mountain Range was still spiritual, and the restlessness of the inheritance star seal being pulled had subsided, overlooking the past, the scenery of Huarong Town was accompanied by the mountains, streams and green shades on one side, extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Hongtong followed Shen Chai crampedly, with his head down, his eyes were sad, longing, and ... Reluctantly, she actually wanted to make a request, but this request, she also knew that it was too untimely and too difficult to achieve, so she kept holding back and had no exit.

Shen Chai saw the strangeness of the little girl, but he only said lightly without squinting: "In the future, I will be by your father's side, he should especially need you at this time." ”

Hongtong nodded obediently, gradually throwing away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Shen Chai sighed secretly in his heart, his natural closeness to Hongtong was because he saw Shen Die's shadow in her, but that's all, he couldn't help her with more.

Xiong Yan didn't say a word in the back, as if he was an outsider, but in fact, his eyes had been on Shen Chai, as if he wanted to see something, the three of them went down the last ramp, getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain, and getting closer and closer to Huarong Town.

"They, presumably aren't ordinary people, right?" Shen Chai was still puzzled, and asked softly.

"No, they're just ordinary people!" Hongtong replied in a low voice, so determined, so unquestionable.

This question, Shen Chai has been holding back until now, and he just wants to mention it to Hongtong, because compared to Hongchen and the rest of Xuanye Sect, he only trusts the little girl who has no scheming next to him, which is also one of the reasons why he left Hongtong alone to send him.

"What's the matter with those black umbrellas?" Shen Chai asked reluctantly, it seemed that only with what he expected in his heart, puppetry, brainwashing control, or Xuanye Sect personnel outside the sect, these were right.

Hongtong raised her face, looked at Shen Chai's side face, and said softly: "The black umbrella is the logo of our sect, and it is also a token, and those people in Huarong Town are indeed willing to help us." ”

"In fact, if it weren't for them, I would have been caught by those gray men a long time ago, and they were the ones who gathered to cover me and help me escape on the street that day, and I ran into you later. ”

Shen Chai was silently speechless in his heart, thinking that in the early morning, a little girl jumped out of a crowd of people with black umbrellas, and it turned out to be like this.

Next to the street of Huarong Town, there is still a low house that is only two or three people high, only to find that it is a lot deserted when you walk in, the shadows are sparse, full of a smell of withering after flowers, the three of them walked through a private house, in front of the inconspicuous courtyard, there is an old man with a flower armor, boiling herbs, with the fan fan, the black smoke of Mars drifts away.

"Pity my son~" The old man muttered in his mouth, Shen Chai's ears were smart, he stopped, turned to look at the old man who was about to rot wood, and his body was rickety, and in the room behind him, a figure was lying on the bed, and there was a coughing sound from time to time.

"Old man?" Shen Chai called softly, the old man raised his head in confusion, his eyebrows and eyes were full of sadness, Shen Chai looked at it and asked, "The one who was lying in the house coughing, but your son?"

The old man sighed: "Isn't it... was originally a patient, but now after he came back, his life was even more hanging by a thread. ”

The desolation instantly invaded the whole body, and Shen Chai couldn't imagine that when he saw these people again, he would meet the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.

Just listening to the cough, I knew that the man in the house was dying for a short time, and he must be even older than the old man in front of him.

"In that case, why didn't you stop him before he left?" Shen Chai's voice was a little dry.

This time, the old man was silent for a long time, then got up and looked at Hongtong and Xiong Yan on the side, and then looked at Shen Chai seriously, and said solemnly: "Do you know what it was like before here?"

He was reluctant to answer this question again, but he didn't know whether he was moved by the young man's sincere eyes, or recognized Hongtong's identity, or tended to be under the pressure of Xiong Yan's indifference, so he finally spoke to the young man.

"I don't know. Shen Chai said honestly.

"I don't know if you think about it, this used to be a barren land, there were more monkeys than scattered people, not even a village, there were no roads, and it was already difficult for people to eat well, let alone dress decently, drink and chat. The old man's demeanor was disdainful.

"Do you know how this place became what it is now?" the old man continued, Shen Chai had a vague conjecture in his heart, but the old man replied directly this time: "It was the Xuanye Sect who came here, opened up the inheritance, and taught my ancestors the art of farming, business, and weaving.... It also opened up the forest soil and arranged the avenue. ”

"It took more than a hundred years to slowly transform a barbaric place that is not a village into a town!"

"The Xuanye Sect protects us and other mortals from worry-free food and clothing, smooth trade routes, and protects foreign enemies from invasion, and even helps us resist water, fire and natural disasters. ”

"It can be said that without Xuanye Sect, there would be no Banyan Town. ”

Shen Chai's heart was shocked, and he couldn't speak for a long time, imagining that a few years ago, a lonely figure came to this barren land in the southwest of Fengchuan Country, he looked at the Linghe Mountains from afar, and looked at the forest stream in front of him.

The beauty and ethereal beauty of this place must have left a deep impression on him, so he made a bold decision to start a sect here.

Not only to start a sect, but also to have vitality, not only forests, but also laughter, so he personally transformed this mountainous land into a place suitable for people to live.

Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, the beauty of the world needs to be decorated, it needs to be appreciated, so there is Banyan Town...

The doubts in Shen Chai's heart gradually swept away, he had never really come into contact with these mundane things, vegetables, rice, oil, salt, money, food, clothing, and clothing, he had never lacked the most basic things, and in the previous life, he was even higher, even if he cared about it, it was only related to cultivation.

Even if he knew this world, the way the human race on the Xingwu Continent operated, he never really looked down to see it, and naturally seemed to have forgotten that the ordinary people on this continent still lived very hard, they needed to work, and there were still many places, which were still barren and miserable.

Yes, without an existence like Xuanye Sect, how can the vast and boundless Star Martial Continent spread the spark of the human race?

But it is precisely these cultivators who are above mortals that make ordinary people can only remain in the same living situation, but about this, Shen Chai has not yet had a clear understanding, it should be said that most of them, including cultivators, the people of the Seven Star Palaces, do not have this understanding.

Maybe one day Shen Chai will suddenly wake up, but he will immediately react because of the pain of the human race, this continent cannot be without cultivators, because there are still terrifying desolate beasts, although they have been driven to the edge.

"Huarong Town, all the people, will remember the kindness of Xuanye Sect for generations, this is the teaching passed down from ancestors. The old man's solemn tone remained unchanged, and he continued: "Therefore, I will not stop my son's deeds, if it were not for the fact that I am already old and have only a handful of bones left, I will definitely go." ”

It's true that people can't forget their roots, but perhaps more importantly, they know in their hearts that only if the Xuanye Sect always exists, can they ensure the prosperity of Huarong Town.

As soon as the black umbrella comes out, all people's lives are tied to the same line, this is the fundamental reason why Xuanye Sect can make these people desperate, not those inferior puppets to manipulate tricks,

Shen Chai understood these things in his heart, his mood was completely different, and he recalled that day, when he first came to Huarong Town, the farms on the edge of the town, those uncared for fields and crops, were empty, as if they had lost their backbone.

It's like the people here before, they all wore black umbrellas.
