On the first day of January, the weather was fine.

Southwest Xuanzhou, Jiangzhou, small lonely city.

On every street, busy figures shuttle back and forth. In the streets and alleys, they are still talking about the confrontation between good and evil more than a month ago. In the rolling crowd, different expressions are drawn into a huge picture, which is used to carry the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world. Everyone in the crowd does not seem so lonely, they are like a grain of dust, floating aimlessly under the vast sky, looking for their own belonging.

It seems that no one knows where the road will be in the next moment!

Yue Chen was leisurely, believing in the horses, and slowly moved forward with the crowd, his eyes casually scanning both sides of the street. I heard that Fancheng and Jiangcheng, which are adjacent to Xiaogucheng, are the famous big cities in Xuanzhou. I don't know if Zhong Zhen is still in this Antiy Chamber of Commerce. ”

When he was thinking about it, a little boy ran out of nowhere and took Yue Chen's hand very affectionately, and he didn't speak, just motioned for Yue Chen to go with him.

Yue Chen was curious in his heart, mainly because he looked at the boy's face, it was indeed as if he had seen it there, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Said: "Little brother, you told me to go with you?"

The little boy had a delicate face, excellent facial features, and a pair of big eyes, and after listening to Yue Chen's words, he still didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

Yue Chen pondered: "In broad daylight, in the territory of Xuanzhou, there will not be anyone who blatantly can't get along with the disciples of the Chengming Sect!" couldn't help but look at his own line, smiled bitterly, and in desperation, he had to signal him to lead the way.

The little boy's fleshy hands still held on to Yue Chen's hands, for fear that Yue Chen would run away, so he took Yue Chen into an alley and entered an inn. Yue Chen found out that this inn was adjacent to the Antian Chamber of Commerce where Zhong Zhen was located.

After entering the inn, the little boy did not stop, and directly led Yue Chen to the door of a luxurious large guest room, only then did he let go of his hand and entered through the crack in the door first.

After a while, a hearty laugh came from inside the door, and said: "Capture the earth demon and defeat the demon disciples! Brother Yue Xian is not a thing in the pool! Fortunately, fortunately!" As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and a man and a woman walked out side by side, all of whom looked like middle-aged people. The little boy snuggled up to the beautiful woman and just laughed.

Yue Chen looked at the three of them, and always felt that he had seen them there, but his impression was also very vague. However, the knife in the middle-aged man's hand reminded Yue Chen of something.

"Senior, could it be the head of the Ai family in Tuozhou?" Although Yue Chen remembered the scimitar, he was not very sure, after all, there were similar spiritual weapons in the world.

"Brother Yue Xian is smiling, don't call me a senior, if you don't mind, we can call each other brothers!" Ai Run smiled, "Brother Xian, please come into the house!"

After everyone entered the house and sat down, Yue Chen asked, "Why did the Ai family master come here? It seems that he also knows that I must come to Xiaogu City." ”

"Naturally, Zhong Xian's nephew told me!" Ai Run explained first, then looked at his wife and children and said, "This is Neizi, this is the dog! Neizi is born with a defect, but he is dumb but not deaf; I have visited many famous people on the Hongmeng Continent, but I have not been able to cure the strange diseases of dogs. Let the virtuous brother see it. ”

"The Ai family's words are serious! But all congenital defects are a common thing in the world, and they are beyond the reach of human beings. Yue Chen pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, when the Ai family master left, he was still a cultivator in the Qing Realm, but now, his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Divine Realm. Thinking of the situation in the past, the younger generation took the liberty of it, could it be that after the head of the Ai family left that day, what major events happened? And today I came to Xuanzhou, I am afraid that it is not just to wait for me!"

"It's hard to say anything about this!" Ai Run stared at Yue Chen and said slowly, "A year ago, my second brother, who was inferior to a beast, took refuge in the Ten Peerless Mountain Villas and secretly plotted against me. Fortunately, an old servant broke through it, and I was on guard. However, I didn't expect that the Ten Peerless Mountain Villas had already controlled the infamous Annihilation Alliance, causing more than a dozen elites of the Ai family to be wiped out overnight. Fortunately, when I fled with my wife and children, Brother Yue Xian came to the rescue and picked up a life!

Leaving Ai's house that day, I wanted to go to Yuanzhou to avoid the limelight for the time being. Unexpectedly, when passing by the side peak of the Feituo Grand Canyon, due to the lack of spiritual power, he was sucked into the cave by a powerful vortex. Coincidentally, I got the 'inheritance' left by a senior.

For the next three months, our family hid in a cave, and I devoted myself to cultivation. Unexpectedly, with the help of a few powerful elixirs, the road made great progress. I was overjoyed and stayed for another three months, waiting for the Tao to be firmly established before I went down the mountain to inquire about the situation.

Three months ago, I cleaned up the Ai family's old house and reopened the door of the Ai family. Subsequently, there was a major event that happened in Juzhou and Xuanzhou, and I received a message from Zhong Xian's nephew, so I came to Xuanzhou to do business, and visited the life-saving benefactor by the way.

Therefore, our family has always been waiting for our brother to come down the mountain!"

After listening to this, Yue Chen snorted and asked thoughtfully: "Ai family master, do you know that the group of dead talkers who appeared that day ended up there? On that day, I and a few senior brothers also left in a hurry, and I really don't know their whereabouts. ”

"I've heard about this! It is said that he was permanently sealed in a cold and bitter place by the three immortals, and the immortals also left a message saying that these monsters will be useful in the future. ”

"Three immortals?" Yue Chen was slightly stunned, and said, "At the beginning, we only saw a senior named 'Seventh Master', and we didn't see anyone else! Could it be that these three immortals are also members of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce?"

Ai Run nodded and said, "Brother Yue Xian came to Xiaogucheng, presumably to find Zhong Xian's nephew?"

Yue Chen smiled slightly, and replied: "Indeed, we had an agreement, but I came this time just to inform him that I want to go down the mountain alone to practice, and that agreement can only be postponed." ”

"Haha! Okay! This agreement, count me in!" Ai Run said heartily, "High-grade spiritual materials, there are no high-grade spiritual materials in Tuozhou, but there are still some spiritual materials for refining the three-grade spiritual pill." The virtuous nephew might as well make a list, and I can prepare it properly. ”

"Senior Ai, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate!" Yue Chen sneered, "My alchemy qualifications are too poor, I have wasted Brother Zhong's spiritual materials, I have already been unwilling, how dare I waste your spiritual materials!"

"Hey, what are you saying there! If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you will be rewarded by a spring! What's more, if you refine more elixirs in the future, give me some share, it will also be of great help to me. Ai Run said sincerely, "We cultivators, there are still very few Tianzong wizards who really don't rely on spiritual materials. Like the way of alchemy, it is only difficult to get started! If you use enough spiritual materials to cultivate, there will always be a day of great success. ”

Ai Run said a bunch of big truths again, and Yue Chen was helpless for a while, so he had to write down three pages of spiritual materials and hand them to him.

"Today, we are going back to Tuozhou!" Ai Run put away the list of spiritual materials and said as if he had a thought, "By the way, Zhong Zhen said that he has to go on a long trip, and it may take several months to come back." Therefore, I want to tell you that it is best to come to the little lonely city to find him after September 9 of this year. ”

"Hehe! It's nothing! Just right, I'm also going to leave Xuanzhou for a while and practice alone!"

The two talked for a while and walked out of the store together. Mrs. Ai settled the account with her son and followed behind Ai Run and Yue Chen. After a short walk, eight sturdy and fierce men came to him, and they bowed to Ai Run first, and one of the older men stepped forward to say a few words to Ai Run, and then retreated back to the same place.

Ai Run didn't speak, just nodded, and said to Yue Chen with a side face: "Brother Xian, let's say goodbye here, there will be a period later!"

"Seniors cherish all the way!"

After Yue Chen said goodbye to Ai Run, he watched the group disappear into the street, and then slowly came back to his senses and returned to the Antiy Chamber of Commerce. I traded the spiritual materials I had prepared one by one, and bought some rune paper, elixir, and elixir, and only after feeling that I was better prepared did I walk out of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the crowds of people coming and going, Yue Chen's heart was at a loss, because he really didn't know where to go! After looking at it for a while, he felt that there were more people walking out of the small lonely city, and the direction of that street was the shortcut to the north into the territory of Yuanzhou.

"As the saying goes: 'The weak go with the waves, and the strong go with the waves!' Now, I am a weak person, and I can't follow the senior brothers to chase the waves, so I have to follow the crowd!"

All the way north!

Yue Chen is idle and unreasonable, and there is no place to go. Except for the cultivation matters that did not dare to delay, the rest of the time was spent wandering alone with Edgeworth. It's just that his route is more unique, and he only picks the more inhospitable mountains to go forward. On these desolate mountains, the population is sparse, the vegetation is withered, and the land is barren. Yue Chen can feel the taste of his hometown, and he can always recall the scenes of his childhood.

Walking alone, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month of leisure.

On this day, he still chose a barren hill as his camping place.

Yue Chen looked up at the sky and was sure that there would be no rain tonight, so he gave up the idea of building a temporary grass canopy, picked a terrain with his back to the north and south, and slowly landed his sword. After the divine sense scanned the surroundings, his brows furrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and soon a smile flashed again. He shook his head slightly, ignored it no longer, just leaned on a small tree at random, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated.

The breeze blew across the hills, rustling the dead grass and leaves. In this chaotic sound, mixed with the sound of two carefully moving footsteps, they were slowly approaching Yue Chen.

About a moment later, two thin figures stood side by side in front of Yue Chen. Both of them were in rags, with some bark and grass roots wrapped in their feet, but under their unkempt hair, there were a pair of eyes that were dripping around Yue Chen's body.

The person on the left whispered: "Xiaoxue, this person is not as handsome as me, isn't it?" As soon as Yue Chen heard the voice, he knew that this little boy was probably not even ten years old.

The person on the right whispered: "Xiaoyu, is this big brother injured?" This voice sounded like a younger girl.

"No, he flew down from the sky just now!" The boy named Xiaoyu was obviously much bolder, and when he spoke, he gently approached Yue Chen, stretched out his little black hand full of dirt, and shook it back and forth in front of Yue Chen's nose. Suddenly, Xiaoyu jumped up violently and shouted, "Xiaoxue, this person really can't breathe!

Xiaoxue grabbed Xiaoyu and said, "Brother Yu, how can we see death and not save it!"

"Save a fart!" Xiaoyu interrupted, "He flew down from the sky, he may have fallen to his death, and it doesn't matter what happens to us! Let's go, after tonight, we have to hurry tomorrow and change to a new place!"

As the night approached, there was a constant sound of chattering teeth in one thatched pit, and snoring in another.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure slowly got up and walked in the direction of the two thatched pits.

"I'm hungry!" the voice sounded faint, but it was dark and deep, and the aftermath lingered around the two grass pits!

A slightly trembling voice came from the grass pit on the right: "Big brother, are you a human or a ghost!"

A person jumped out of the grass pit on the left, rushed to the grass pit on the right, hurriedly covered the little girl's mouth with his hand, and said pantingly: "Of course he is a ghost! You talked to him just now, maybe the soul has been captured by him!"

It took a great deal of effort for the little girl to remove her dirty hand and say loudly, "The old uncle said that ghosts have no shadows!

The little boy was stunned, "Huh", probed his brain out of the grass pit, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Yue Chen's eyes, and asked tentatively: "Big brother, are you alive?"

"Sort of!"

"What? " The little boy cried out in surprise, turned and went into the grass pit, picked up the little girl, and said loudly, "Hurry up! This man may be a half-human, half-ghost monster! I can't beat him!"

Yue Chen looked at this extremely alert little boy and suddenly burst out laughing, because this scene reminded him of himself ten years ago. And this kind of helpless wandering child does not know how many people are on the Hongmeng Continent, Yue Chen is not particularly surprised by this. Xin said: "Don't talk about others, isn't I such a wanderer myself!"

After the laughter gradually stopped, he said gently: "Of course I am a big living person! Now is the time of ugliness, and when the time comes, the sky will be even colder." As he spoke, he took out two demon pills that were shining red. Under this moonlight, the light of the demon pill was not covered by the moonlight, but appeared brighter. In the eyes of insiders, just using this light can be used to determine that they are two excellent fourth-order demon pills.

"You two come here!" Yue Chen beckoned, "These are two 'orbs' for warmth, you two can pick one each." Just remember, this thing must not be seen by anyone!"

The little boy was not polite, grabbed the two "orbs" in one hand, and watched the comparison repeatedly. Shaoqing said: "Xiaoxue, there is a red line on this one, it belongs to you." With a raised left hand, he said, "There is a faint blue line on this one, belong to me!"

Xiao Xue said, "Xiao Yu, you are so rude!" and said to Yue Chen, "Thank you, big brother, how to use this beautiful orb?"

"You can carry it close to your body! It's the best, you can place it in the dantian area, maybe the best effect!"

Xiaoyu said: "Where is the dantian?" pointed to his heart ventricle and said, "Is it here?"

"Haha! A little downward to the left, it's the middle of the chest. I've heard people talk about it, and it's also a dantian jade mansion for people. ”

Xiao Xue asked, "Where are the other dantians on that person's body?"

Yue Chen nodded and said: "One is at the center of the eyebrows, which is the upper dantian, and the other is three inches below the navel! ”

For a short while, Xiao Yu was already naked, and with a flat rope that looked the finest, he carefully wrapped the orb in the place that Yue Chen had said. quickly got dressed again, and said to Xiaoxue: "This person is not lying, it seems that there is really a hot current swimming close to him." I'm getting more and more comfortable!"

Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, then took out a fine flat rope from her waist, wrapped the jewel around her eyebrows, tied a knot on her forehead with her fingers, and said with a smile: "It's not good-looking!"

Xiao Yu choked: "It's not good-looking!" But he didn't look at it at all, and his two eyes kept rolling on Yue Chen. Suddenly knelt down and bowed: "Meet the eldest brother!"

This sudden sudden made Yue Chen cry and laugh for a while, and said in his heart: "To survive in such a harsh environment, if you don't have a little bit of scheming, it's really impossible." This kid has too flexible brains, but he is somewhat similar to Senior Brother Ouyang!"

Yue Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, why did you come here? I will help you, that is because ten years ago, I was not much different from you! It's just that I have a complete home!"

"Big brother, if you help me up like this, you should recognize us as your brother and sister! You must not regret it in the future!" he said, grinning, and said with strange eyes: "Big brother, do you know why I want to recognize you as my big brother?"

Yue Chen shook his head!

"Big brother, your qualifications are too poor!" Xiaoyu said disdainfully, "Actually, it's very simple! Didn't you just say that you have a complete home? We have it too!" Pointing to the sky and saying, "That's our father!"

Yesterday, the eldest brother fell from the sky, which means that my father sent the eldest brother to take care of us. Pulled Xiaoxue and said, "Don't meet the eldest brother yet!"

Xiaoxue reacted at this time, and hurried to meet her eldest brother!

Yue Chen shook his head and said, "If you follow me, you won't be better off there! I can give you some money and let you find your own opportunities! Perhaps, this is the best choice for you!"

Xiaoyu said: "If you don't recognize the two of us, I will take this jewel and sell it, buy a big house, and live comfortably!"

Xiaoxue said: "Big brother, do you dislike the two of us!"

"Remember, what I give you, don't see people!"

"Why? Haven't you already seen it?"

"No, why! If you only meet someone who robs money and does not harm your life, it is considered to be earning. But often, there are more people who rob money and kill people. ”

"Big brother, is this broken orb of yours so valuable? Even if it's a demon pill that my uncle said, it's not as scary as you say!"

"That's two demon pills, the ones with excellent color! Your uncle didn't tell you, how much is such a demon pill worth?"

Xiaoyu ignored Yue Chen, quickly untied the rope again, pinched the demon pill in his hand, and bit it a few times with his teeth before quickly tying it back. He raised his head and snorted: "Bragging! You are absolutely bragging! How can a person like you, who has no power to catch chickens, kill a demon beast? We have seen with our own eyes that the strong people who are three circles stronger than you have been killed by the demon beasts!"

Yue Chen just laughed and didn't answer. Because these two demon pills are indeed not obtained by killing the demon beast with his own hands.

Xiaoyu said again: "If you want to prove that you are not bragging, I can take you to a place, if you kill that pig, I will believe it!"

Xiaoxue hurriedly said: "It's too dangerous, don't go!"

"Oh, how can this happen? Tell me where you are, and maybe you'll be back before dawn!"

"This is the north of Yuanzhou, where Xiaoyu wants to take you, in the northwest of Changzhou! There are many, many dead people, and there are many, many demon beasts! A year ago, when we fled from there, our blood was clotted for hundreds of miles!"

"Don't talk so much nonsense! If he can kill the pig that killed the old man, he will avenge us, and I can willingly recognize him as the eldest brother! Otherwise, hum!" Xiaoyu said up, rolled his eyes, and looked extremely disdainful.

"The main thing is that we don't have that much to eat! How do we get there?"

"Xiaoxue, your qualifications are worse than the eldest brother's! I don't want to think that the eldest brother can give such a valuable demon pill, and he can't care if we have enough food and enough wine!" Xiaoyu suddenly scratched his head and said, "I'll try the eldest brother's qualifications again, is it incurable!"

Yue Chen laughed and said, "East Gate Rain, West Gate Snow!"

Xiaoyu touched her nose for a while, her expression was strange, and she muttered, "The qualifications are okay!" and instructed Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, take the baby that the old man gave us, and take the eldest brother to the nearest town to rest first!"

"Xiaoyu, are you going to cheat again!"

Xiaoyu pulled Xiaoxue to the side and said in a low voice: "You are stupid! I haven't smelled alcohol for three months, I haven't smelled the smell of meat! I think this person is reliable, first cure the addiction to alcohol, and then listen to you, how about it?"

Xiaoxue also whispered: "I'm hungry now!"

"Then don't hurry up!"

Yue Chen said: "I can hear what you two say!" As he spoke, he poured out two elixirs and said, "Take it first!"

Xiao Xue exclaimed: "We have seen this kind of elixir! There are more than a dozen adults, fighting to the death in order to grab such an elixir!"

Xiaoyu said: "What do you do when you say so much, take it first!" When he said, he took the elixir, gave Xiaoxue one first, and then took it himself. After a while, he said, "Why is it so comfortable! Is this really an elixir!"

After the two of them got used to the medicinal power of Bigu Dan a little, they each went into their own nests, and after a while, one of them took out a slightly mutilated large bowl. The color of the large bowl is ancient black, and there are faint wisps of blue light under the bowl.

Xiaoyu said: "Big brother, this is the treasure that my uncle gave us! That old guy often bragged that this was an ancient relic that he dug up from an ancient tomb! Before he was killed by that pig, he was offered like a god, and he didn't let us touch it!"

Yue Chen didn't say anything, but said, "How long does it take to get to the nearest town!"

Xiaoyu said: "Tonight, you can get there! This still depends on your elixir, otherwise, we may starve to death on the road!"

After the two of them packed up, they led the way in front of their heads, and after walking out of a mile of land, Yue Chen flew directly with the two of them and went in the direction they said.

In less than half an hour, before dawn, we were already in the small town.
