In the early autumn of Broken Flow City, there was already a hint of chill in the early morning, and Shen Xiuming of Daliang suddenly sat up, with a layer of fine sweat on his body, and his arms trembled.

"Are you having nightmares again?" asked the wife vaguely, reaching out a hand and patting him lightly on the back, as if he were a child of several years old.

"Hmm. Shen Xiuming replied vaguely, his mind gradually quieted down, he couldn't remember the content of the dream, but he knew that he couldn't sleep anymore after this dream.

The wife had gone back to sleep, one hand still resting on his back, and she had long since become accommodated by her husband's nightmares.

Shen Xiuming quietly got out of bed, crept out of the room with clothes and shoes, and quickly dressed in the cold air.

He owns a big mansion in Broken Stream City, which is bigger than Shen Hao's old mansion in Yelin Town, when he was a child, he never imagined that he would one day live in such a place as the owner, but he does have this qiē now, as well as a beautiful and gentle wife and a smart and lovely son.

He had a habit of having nightmares a few years ago, the most common dream was that Broken Flow City fell into a sea of fire, burning up the qiē he had so hard to have, and in recent days nightmares have become more frequent, and the content has also changed, and every time he wakes up, he can't remember the specific content, but vaguely remembers that the nightmare is related to his friends.

There are many servants in the Shen family, but Shen Xiuming is used to doing everything himself, he didn't wake anyone up, he used the key to open the side door, walked into the silent and uninhabited street, and didn't go far before he found that someone was following him.

Although he failed to condense his qi into a pill, he had given up his cultivation for many years, and his figure was obviously blessed, Shen Xiuming was still brighter than ordinary people, he turned into another street at the intersection, waited against the wall for a while, and suddenly rushed out and hugged the two stalkers together.

It was discovered less than a street. The two little stalkers punched and kicked in exasperation, screaming and yelling.

Shen Xiuming has never been a strict father, and he happily accepts the beating of his two children, and the last trace of the remnants of the nightmare disappears without a trace. After a while, he put down his son Shen Cunyi and his adopted daughter Zhang Xiang'er, and made a stern expression, "It's just dawn, what are you two sneaking up for?"

Shen Cunyi lowered his head a little ashamedly, he was a typical silly boy of the Shen family, and he couldn't tell the true attitude of adults, but Zhang Xiang'er next to him knew that this was his adoptive father joking. He raised his head and shouted: "The two of us are little ghosts, you are the big ghosts, and the little ghosts will follow wherever the big ghosts go." We've been watching you for days. ”

Shen Cunyi's courage always came after Zhang Xiang'er, and at this time he also raised his head, and only a child's excitement appeared in his round eyes, "Dad, you want to go to Shen Garden to see the flowers, right? We want to go too, we haven't been there for a long time." ”

"It's only been a month. Shen Xiuming shook his head. "No, if your mother finds out that you two are missing early in the morning, she will die in a hurry. ”

"I left a note, and it was very clear. Zhang Xiang'er said immediately. She was a very smart girl, she learned everything very quickly, and she was only six or seven years old and could write well.

Shen Xiuming thought about it and picked up the two children again. "Well, just this once. ”

Zhang Xiang'er and Shen Cunyi cheered, and they were not honest in Shen Xiuming's arms. He poked each other with their fingers, most of which landed on his father's thick neck, which they called "fighting".

The city gate had just opened, and the soldiers were not surprised at all when they saw that Lord Shen Hua was the first to go out of the city, and greeted him warmly, and then saluted Zhang Xiang'er respectfully, the princess had married to the imperial capital, but her influence in the city of Broken Flow had not diminished at all, and those who were protected by her could always get a different look from the soldiers and the people.

The number of pedestrians outside the city began to increase, Shen Xiuming strode into a meteor, taking this as a kind of exercise, and after half an hour, a layer of real fine sweat oozed from his body, and the two children had already gotten rid of his arms and ran in front of him.

Not far ahead is Shen Yuan, where Shen Xiuming has worked hard for several years, and now it is the harvest season, but he has to give up.

Shen Xiuming, as in the past, stopped on a small high ground, just in time to see the panorama of Shen Garden, those colorful flowers and plants, he could call the name of each one.

"The alfalfa should be harvested today...... Shen Xiuming muttered, worried that the people in the garden would forget this important matter.

"Big Daddy. This is Zhang Xiang'er's name for Shen Xiuming, "This place is obviously called Shen Yuan, why should it be handed over to Pang Shan?"

"Because every qiē in the garden belongs to Pang Mountain, I just ...... The people who work for them. Shen Xiuming said with a smile.

"Then why don't you work for Pang Shan now?" Zhang Xianger likes to get to the bottom of it.

"Because—" Shen Xiuming wondered if he should say these things to the child, "my best friend has quit Pang Shan, and I think he may need my help, so I can't work for Pang Shan anymore." ”

"It's Mu Xingqiu. The excitement on Zhang Xiang'er's face receded, everyone said that this Mu Xingqiu was their guardian, but he had only appeared once in so many years, and he left without any special expression, so she had a small pimple in her heart, "When I become a Taoist priest of Pangshan, I must get Shen Yuan, and then give it to my father." ”

Shen Xiuming laughed, not pointing out how difficult it is to become a Pangshan Taoist priest, and how much restraint he will be subjected to after becoming a Taoist, even if Zhang Xiang'er can really become the first or even the grandmaster, it will be hundreds of years later, and he can't afford to wait.

Shen Cunyi pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly: "Look, it's Uncle Shen Hao and Aunt Tao!"

The two children call Xiaoqingtao "Aunt Peach", which has become a habit and can't be changed. Zhang Xiang'er also jumped and waved happily, she liked this Aunt Tao the most.

This was a chance encounter, but Xiao Qingtao did not disappoint the two children, as soon as they landed, they conjured two identical paper birds out of thin air, they can fly slowly at low altitudes, and will evade pursuit, although it will not take long to break, but it is the children's favorite toy.

Shen Xiuming greeted the two Taoist priests, and then looked at Xiao Qingtao, "I hope Pang Shan didn't embarrass you, we can all prove that you and Pei Zihan are not all the way." ”

Xiao Qingtao smiled, since she was a child, she has never lacked protectors, when she was in Furong Mountain's hometown, she was her parents and many cousins, in Pangshan there were Fangfang and Mu Xingqiu, and in recent years, it was Yang Qingyin, but this time she had to face a qiē alone, Shen Hao and Shen Xiuming were her friends, but they were not protectors.

And compared with Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin's whereabouts unknown, she felt that the things she was facing were really not worth mentioning, "Dao Tong will not suspect a person for no reason, I'm fine." ”

Shen Xiuming had never been to Lao Zufeng, but he knew that the Dao system was not as peaceful and fair as he imagined, and the non-demons had always been suspicious, the high-level Taoist priests were fine, but the low-level Taoists would not hide the suspicions in their hearts, and Xiao Qingtao's life would definitely be even worse, "I really didn't expect Pei Zihan to be this kind of person! What is the reaction of the Dao Tong, won't it have to wait, right? And when will the Demon Slaying Society be officially established? Is there any news from Xiaoqiu and the old lady?"

Shen Xiuming didn't have much chance to meet the Taoist priest, so as soon as they met, he asked all the doubts in his heart.

Shen Hao opened his mouth to answer, his expression was stricter than ever, so that the two children would rather chase the paper bird in the distance than get close to him, "Dao Tong will not wait any longer, there will be a war against the demon clan before the end of autumn, and the high Daoists will also participate, I think it will be over before the end of the year." ”

"Is there still a need for the Demon Slayer Society to be established?"

"Of course, the goal of the Eight Great Dao Sect is only to drive the demon clan out of Xijie Country, and the rest of the things will be taken over by the Demon Slayer Society, and the next will be a long war, and the Demon Slayer Society will wipe out the demon clan in the world, so that the Dao Sect can concentrate on preparing to face the demon clan. ”

"Demon ......" is an extremely distant matter for Shen Xiuming, and it is a crisis that his descendants need to care about in the future for many generations, "I have bought suitable land in both the Dongjie Kingdom and the Holy Rune Dynasty, and I will soon be able to grow flowers and plants, and I will be able to provide materials to the Demon Slayer Society in a year at most." ”

Shen Hao showed a hint of a smile, "Both the Demon Slayer Society and Xiaoqiu will thank you." ”

"Does he have any news?" Shen Xiuming felt a little nervous.

"Not yet. ”

"I heard that the Eight Great Dao Commanders are going to interrogate Xiaoqiu together, is it true?"

"It's not an interrogation, it's just an inquiry, after all, there is a Xingluo Taoist priest in Asan who died after fighting with Xiaoqiu, and this matter has to be clarified. Finding that Shen Xiuming's face had changed, Shen Hao added: "You don't have to worry, he rescued a lot of people in the demon clan's territory, especially a star-falling Taoist priest in Wandi Mountain, he is an eyewitness, and the account provided is more favorable to Xiaoqiu." ”

Shen Xiuming hoped for this, and let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that the nightmare of every night might be over, "What are you two doing when you two come out?"

"The High Daoist of the Eight Great Dao Sects is going to gather in Shen Yuan, and the Demon Slaying Society also wants to be established here, so let's come and have a look. ”

Shen Xiuming couldn't help but feel a little proud, Shen Yuan, who he had taken care of, was actually able to receive a high-level Taoist priest, and immediately felt that something was not right, "It's already decided to go to war, why do Dao Tongs still come here to gather?"

Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao glanced at each other, Shen Xiuming was not a Taoist priest after all, and some things were not suitable for suing him.

"It's for Xiaoqiu, right?" Shen Xiuming was a little excited, he knew that his nightmare would not be for no reason, and the trouble caused by Xiaoqiu was not small, "Shen Hao, Xiaoqingtao, don't lie to me, is there any news about Xiaoqiu?"

"No...... Direct message. Xiao Qingtao was slightly embarrassed, she didn't want to hide anything from Shen Xiuming.

Shen Xiuming grabbed Shen Hao's arm, "Sue me, whether it's rumors or speculation, sue me." ”

Shen Hao was helpless, so he had to say: "There are some rumors, all of which are confessed by the captured demon soldiers, and they are not credible at all. Shen Hao paused for a while, still feeling that this kind of thing should not be casually revealed to mortals, but Shen Xiuming's palm became tighter and tighter, and Shen Hao couldn't treat him as just an ordinary mortal, "It is said that Xiaoqiu was persuaded by him after fighting with Pei Zihan, and voluntarily took a potion, wanting to transform into a demon like Pei Zihan. ”
