Step by step back to the top of the mountain, Yi Chen was the first to see the three Qingxuanzong disciples guarding the top of the mountain, at this moment, the three disciples all looked at the direction where the formation peak was located, and the fear in their eyes was not gone, and when they realized that someone appeared behind them, they all turned around to look at Yi Chen, and there was a touch of surprise in their eyes.

They quickly remembered that it was the mortal boy who had run down the mountain earlier, and one of them immediately shouted.

"So late at night, why are you still wandering around the mountains? Now that there is a change in the sect, you don't want to return to your residence quickly!"

Yi Chen was stunned when he heard this, he was underground before, and he didn't know anything about the changes that had happened in the outside world, but looking at this appearance, he was afraid that it had caused a lot of waves.

No matter how stupid Yi Chen was, he could have imagined that all the three disciples were looking at was towards the mountain he had entered earlier, and if the change was not caused by himself, who else could there be?

"Yes, the boy knows. At that moment, Yi Chen hurriedly saluted the three of them and wanted to go to his residence, but at the moment of turning around, a cold cheer made him stop.

"Wait!"

It was the black-clothed long-haired man who spoke, and at this moment Yi Chen turned to look at him, his expression was as usual, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, didn't this person see something, right?

The man was also staring at Yi Chen at the moment, seeing the indifference in the other party's expression, and a touch of surprise crossed his eyes, this son seemed to be different from when he saw it before.

The reason why he stopped Yi Chen was because after the previous changes, most of the mortal children on this mountain had fainted, but this son had not changed in any way, which had to make people wonder.

However, at this time, he saw Yi Chen's indifferent state, and his heart was even more strange, and he faintly felt that this son did have something extraordinary.

"Where did you go down the mountain before?" Putting aside the surprise in his heart for a while, the man in black asked Yi Chen coldly.

"Tell the seniors, the kid went around the mountain before, trying to catch some game, but found nothing, so he turned around and came back......" When speaking, Yi Chen also pointed to his tattered clothes, and told the three that they were cut by branches on the mountain.

The underground affairs of Yi Chen must not be said, otherwise he can't predict what kind of uproar it will cause, so he can only tell a lie to the three of them to deal with it.

Listening carefully to Yi Chen's explanation, the coldness on the faces of the three of them faded slightly, but there was still some suspicion in the eyes of the former, they didn't associate the changes that happened in the sect with Yi Chen, but even they were trembling in fear under the power of that catastrophe, but Yi Chen appeared in front of them like a nobody at this time, which really had to make them wonder.

"The previous accident suddenly came to my sect, and most of the ordinary children on the mountain have fainted at this moment, why are you okay?" The man in black still looked slightly cold, and asked again, he seemed to be able to feel a very special aura from Yi Chen's body, which was indescribable, but it actually made him faintly feel a sense of fear, that feeling like facing the vicissitudes of eternity, and it made him breathless.

A faint feeling of this kind rose in his heart, and the man in black was suddenly shocked, and felt extremely ridiculous, he would be afraid of a mortal?

He didn't know at all that although Yi Chen was indeed no different from a mortal now, after all, he had experienced the baptism of heavenly coercion and had been in contact with the old man for such a long time, and his body was somewhat contaminated with a little residual breath of the two, so it was not surprising that he could feel afraid.

The boy only knew that there seemed to be a period of time when he suddenly lost consciousness, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep, and he didn't remember anything, and when he woke up again, he found that he had fainted in the same place, and the mountain was pitch black, and the boy was afraid, so he hurried back to the mountain. Yi Chen improvised, and hurriedly explained to the three of them, pretending to show a little panicked look on his face, which fell into the eyes of the three people, and immediately made them feel relieved, a little clear, and the doubts in their hearts dissipated a lot.

The black-clothed long-haired man's expression was also much gentler, and when he looked at Yi Chen again, his face was no longer as cold as before, but with a somewhat concerned smile, and said in a deep voice.

"I see...... Hurry up and go back to your own residence, now the sect is not very peaceful, don't go down the mountain easily at night in the future, although there are no fierce beasts and birds of prey in the mountains, but there are also a lot of poisonous insects, snakes and rats, this time it is good luck, next time you faint alone in the mountains, I am afraid that there will be great danger. ”

The gentle words of the man in black made Yi Chen's heart rise a little warm, he could hear the genuine concern in the former's words, and his face immediately showed some gratitude, and he even saluted the three of them respectfully, and then turned around and walked towards his stone house.

After Yi Chen left, the three of them returned to the distant peak, and the fear in their eyes resurfaced, around the sky there, many old figures were still stuck in mid-air, and they did not disperse, it seemed that this turmoil could not be calmed down in a short time.

Passing by many stone houses, Yi Chen looked into some of the stone houses with open wooden doors, and found that many people had fainted among them, so he hurriedly rushed to his stone houses, and when he came closer, when he pushed the door in, his expression suddenly froze.

He saw Yan Hao at a glance, but the latter did not faint, but shrunk alone in the corner of the bed and shivered.

"Yan Hao!" Yi Chen immediately shouted, and hurriedly walked to his bedside, but stopped again when he took three or four steps, he suddenly remembered the cracked wooden monkey on his body, and thought of the immortal hand clan mentioned by the old man, and his gaze at Yan Hao suddenly changed a little.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the old man's inference was true, and at this moment, seeing that Yan Hao had not fainted, he had more doubts and speculations about his mysterious true identity in his heart.

Is Yan Hao really a member of the Ancient Immortal Hand clan?

"Brother Yi!" Hearing Yi Chen's shout, Yan Hao suddenly raised his head and saw Yi Chen who pushed the door in, his eyes showed joy, and his fear immediately faded a little, and he quickly jumped off the bed and ran to Yi Chen's side.

"Brother Yi, where did you go just now, there seems to have been a lot of movement outside before, rumbling and thundering, scaring me to death... You haven't had anything happen outside, right?" Yan Hao asked with concern, and looked Yi Chen up and down, and when he saw Yi Chen's tattered clothes, his expression was suddenly shocked.

"Uh... I'm fine......" Looking at Yan Hao's concerned look with a somewhat complicated gaze, Yi Chen's heart warmed slightly, he paused, a trace of apology appeared on his face, and took out the broken wooden monkey from his arms, pursed his lips and said.

"I'm sorry to break the wooden monkey you gave me. ”

When he said this, he was a little grateful, he was able to survive thanks to this wooden monkey, and Yan Hao could be regarded as saving his life.

"It's okay if people are fine, it's just a piece of wood, and if it's broken, I'll carve another one for you." Yan Hao just casually glanced at the wooden monkey that Yi Chen took out, and saw the dense cracks on it, but he didn't care, and smiled cheerfully.

Hearing Yan Hao talk about carving again, Yi Chen's brows tightened imperceptibly, and after thinking for a moment, he straightened his color, pointed to the empty eyes of the wooden monkey and asked Yan Hao.

"Yan Hao, why did your family pass down such a strange ancestral precept that didn't engrave two eyes?"

"I don't know, it's just that my father taught me since I was a child that I can't carve eyes, and I can't put the finishing touch, saying that this is an ancestral teaching, and I don't know the reason for it......" Yan Hao shook his head and replied honestly, he didn't know, but he heard his father say this since he was a child, and now it has become a kind of nature in his heart, and he habitually skips that step when carving.

Hearing this, Yi Chen's brows furrowed slightly, revealing doubts, even if Yan Hao himself didn't know, then this matter was really unsolvable, but then, he heard Yan Hao continue, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"But I seem to remember that when I was a child, my father was drunk, and he once talked to himself, saying that when an old carpenter carved a wooden tiger, he carved his eyes, and the wood carving came to life, and became a living tiger, and bit the old carpenter to death...... I only heard from my father, I think he was drunk and talking nonsense at that time, how could a piece of wood become a living thing?" Yan Hao was not sure about his memories, which he heard when he was very young, and he still can't remember clearly, but the content was too absurd and bizarre for him to believe, just his father's drunken nonsense.

But after Yi Chen heard this, his expression suddenly froze, although this memory told by Yan Hao seemed like a fantasy to him, but listening to it in Yi Chen's ears made his heart buzz, Yi Chen learned from the old man about the horror of the ancient immortal hand clan, this past is by no means groundless!

I'm afraid that Yan Hao is really the rumored clansman of the Ancient Immortal Hand Clan!

Thinking of this, Yi Chen's expression became more and more complicated, Yan Hao was already a friend in his heart, but now that he knew his true identity, the terrifying name of the Immortal Hand clan made Yi Chen retreat a little in his heart, and a trace of fear flashed imperceptibly in his eyes when he looked at Yan Hao.

Yi Chen's footsteps took a small half step back, because of the slightest fear, he retreated, but the next moment, Yi Chen's expression was stagnant, and his left foot, which wanted to retreat again, suddenly stopped.

He saw the sincerity and concern in Yan Hao's eyes, which were real emotions, from the heart, without the slightest fraud.

"Others treated me like a friend and saved my life, but I retreated because of the fear in my heart, and wanted to stay away from him, I... I'm not a thing......" In Yan Hao's puzzled gaze, Yi Chen showed a wry smile, now he really wants to slap himself in the mouth, there are some things, he hasn't seen through them yet, he has really lived in vain for more than ten years.

How can true friendship be influenced by external objects?
