Yinjianchi's material convoy traveled slowly, until nightfall before the halfway way, Yi Nan saw that it was too late to hurry, so he ordered everyone to set up a camp, ready to spend the night in the field, and set off again at dawn.

Dozens of people set up simple tents with their hands and feet, and a bonfire was raised nearby.

Ye Hao saw that Yinan was careful and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that Uncle Shangguan asked him to be in charge of all the chores in Qianyun Hall, he was indeed a rare talent, but no one was perfect, although he had a good set of things, but his immortal cultivation qualifications could only be regarded as average, otherwise he would not have worked in Qianyun Hall for so many years.

Ye Hao thought of this and smiled bitterly, how much better can his situation be than Yi Nan, no matter what his qualifications are, it is the seal in his body that makes him unable to accept the spirit and return to the Yuan, I don't know if he can still be expected to taste what he wants in this life.

Suddenly, I thought that I would soon be able to go back to Linjia Village to visit relatives, meet my mother, and see my brothers and sisters, and I suddenly felt excited and happy in my heart. If they knew that it was the head of the Sword Pool who personally accepted them as disciples, they would be envious and happy for themselves.

Ye Hao fell asleep in anticipation.

The moon is hidden and the stars are scarce, the dark clouds cover the sky, the dark night is full of cicadas and birds, and the night in the mountains and fields always has a terrifying taste. The disciple in charge of the duty shivered, walked back and forth between several tents, and from time to time deliberately kicked a stone to make a little noise, which was considered to be emboldening himself.

On the ground, a black shadow swept through the night, and went straight into the tent of Yi Nan and Ye Hao, and the disciples on duty didn't seem to be aware of it, still walking around non-stop.

Then, as if nothing had happened, the night passed in silence.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, in the tent where Ye Hao was, a slightly chubby disciple was the first to wake up, he stretched his waist, stood up, and was just about to walk out of the account, but when he inadvertently looked down, he caught a glimpse of gray in the crowd of yellow figures, and he was stunned.

He thought he was dazzled, and when he rubbed his eyes and looked at it, he exclaimed "ah".

An exclamation came suddenly, and more than a dozen people who were asleep in the tent were suddenly awakened, Yi Nan sat up first, looked at the slightly chubby disciple who was standing in a daze, and said unhappily: "Senior brother, why are you yelling early in the morning." ”

The slightly chubby disciple looked at Yi Nan with straight eyes, and his speech was a little not fluent: "Senior brother...... You...... ...... around you"

"Isn't it Senior Brother Ye Hao next to me? Yi Nan said, turned his head to look, and suddenly the three souls were out of his body, and it was not Ye Hao who was sleeping next to him, but a person in a gray uniform, and his body involuntarily jumped up and retreated a few steps in fright, and his eyes were fixed on the person, as if he saw a ghost.

Ye Hao had also woken up at this time, and saw a gray figure sleeping beside him, and he was also frightened, and fled in embarrassment.

"Boom, Boom!Boom!" all the disciples unsheathed their swords one after another, pointing at the gray-clothed man on the ground.

But the man was still snoring like thunder, and he didn't move.

Yi Nan's face was pale at this time, thinking that so many disciples had not found anyone coming in overnight, if this person had bad intentions, all the senior brothers would have already lost their lives, and he couldn't help but feel even more frightened.

Ye Hao was also frightened, his heart was pounding involuntarily, he was in a calmer mood at the moment, and after a closer look, sleeping in the tent was actually a sloppy old man in gray clothes, this person had messy hair, the crown was crooked, a gray robe was greasy, filthy, and there was a gourd not far away, and the wine was smoking, this old man was sleeping in the tent at the moment, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Yi Nan didn't dare to move, and said to the side: "Go and call the junior brother on duty in." ”

After a while, the disciple in charge of duty entered the tent and was shocked when he saw the situation in the tent.

Yinan said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Kanghu, how are you worth it, didn't you find anyone coming in?"

The corners of the disciple's mouth twitched: "Night...... The night was peaceful, nothing happened, and I didn't see half a figure, how could there be an old man sleeping in the tent......"

Yi Nan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he secretly thought that although Senior Brother Kang Hu was an average cultivator, he had been in the business for nearly ten years, and he was a shrewd and responsible person, and he could enter the tent without him noticing, this old man must not be an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Yi Nan came to Lao Dao's side with a sword, squatted down, and shook his body.

Lao Dao seemed to have some sense, snorted, turned over, but was still asleep with his eyes closed, but when he turned over, he emitted a monstrous smell of wine, choking Yinan and immediately covered his mouth and nose.

Only then did everyone see the appearance of this old man, with a gray beard, a wrinkled face, a somewhat obscene appearance, black marks on his face, and the corners of his mouth full of filth, which actually glued his beard together.

Yinan stood up, kicked Lao Dao's ass a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Wake up, wake up." ”

The old man was in pain, so he opened his eyes, looked at Yinan, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, pointed at Yinan and said, "Good son, good son, quickly bring wine to ...... father again."

Yinan was furious when he heard this, and pointed at the old man with his sword: "Don't talk nonsense, who is your son, see it clearly." ”

The old man sat up suddenly, burped, stared at Yi Nan with his eyes, and said strangely: "Aren't you my good son? Where did I admit ......my mistakes?"

Yi Nan was extremely angry and said angrily: "Drunkard, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will stab you with a sword." With that, he shook the long sword in his hand in front of Lao Dao.

Lao Dao was not afraid, and grinned: "It turned out to be Xuanyuan boy, your father asked me to watch you, don't point fingers at me, your sword is too brittle, I can't compensate you if it is broken." ”

The disciples in the tent were all angry when they heard this, and shouted: "You old way, Hugh is talking nonsense, we are the disciples of the Sword Pool of Jilei Mountain. ”

Lao Dao frowned and said, "Draw the sword pool...... I don't think I've heard this name before...... Why can't you think of it...... Oops, my head hurts. With that, he put his head in his hands and showed a look of pain.

Yi Nan stretched out his hand to stop the group of senior brothers who were holding the sword, squatted in front of Lao Dao again, and said in a harmonious voice: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, who are you?"

Hearing this, Lao Dao raised his head and said with a puzzled expression: "You don't even know who I am......? Isn't that ...... Mother, why can't I remember, who am I......" said that he lay on the ground and rolled.

"Dao Chief, don't get excited, why did you break into our tent in the middle of the night?"

When Lao Dao heard that he was no longer rolling, he said angrily: "I'm dizzy, of course I'm going to sleep, you guys get out of here, don't disturb my good dreams." With that, he lay down again, and fell asleep regardless of it.

Seeing this, Ye Hao stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, I think this old man is a madman. ”

Yinan nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

The other disciples said one after another: "Senior Brother Yinan, what should we do with this old way? We still have to hurry, how can we let him mess around here." ”

Yinan stood up and said, "If he wants to sleep, let him sleep, we don't have to pay attention to him, pack up the camp and prepare to leave." ”

"Yes," the disciples agreed, and then they packed up.

Ye Hao pointed at the old Tao and said, "Senior brother, really don't care about him?"

Yi Nan frowned and said: "This old Taoist can sneak into the tent in front of so many disciples in our sword pool, it must not be an ordinary person, let's not add to the trouble, it is better to pack our bags and leave as soon as possible." ”

Ye Hao also felt justified when he heard this, so he didn't say anything more and packed up the camp with everyone.

It didn't take long for the disciples to pack up, and the convoy slowly drove away, leaving only the old Dao sleeping in the wilderness.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw the majestic Jilei Mountain, and everyone felt like going home in their hearts.

Ye Hao found Yi Nan and said, "Senior brother, before I went down the mountain, I told Uncle Shangguan to take leave to visit Linjia Village, so I parted ways with you here for the time being." ”

Yinan nodded and said: "Master Zun told me about this, go, let's go back to the sect first, you be careful." ”

"Thank you, brother. Ye Hao greeted the other brothers and sisters again, and rushed to Linjia Village happily.

He was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to step home in one step to see if his mother was still looking at the window, whether Wanqing was fat or thin, how Xiaolong Xiaohu's Burning Void Sutra and the method of archers were practiced, whether the toad was still lazy to sleep, whether Xiaodouzi was still causing trouble everywhere with a clear nose, and whether the old patriarch's body was still strong...... Linjia Village, where every grass and tree, every house and tile is familiar to me, and I don't know if it is still the same as before.

His heart turned a thousand times, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't wait.

"Disease!" Ye Hao urged the colorful power of the wind bead, and the wind rushed away, and it didn't take a moment to reach the outside of Linjia Village.

He was fully dressed and walked into the Lin Family Village with great joy, but everything that greeted him instantly stunned him.

Most of the houses in the village are dilapidated, with broken walls one after another, broken walls and tiles, overgrown with dead grass, snakes and rats entrenched, and gusts of mountain wind blowing by, making it even more desolate and desolate! Only the three words "Linjia Village" on the plaque at the entrance of the village reminded him of what kind of place this is.

And in a corner of the village, a huge mound appeared there, and the stone tablet read: "Lin Jiaying's bone tomb!"

Ye Hao stared at Xiao Suo in the village, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, as if the entire sky no longer existed, everything was like a nightmare, pain, helplessness, and sadness flowed in his eyes, and all kinds of ominous premonitions spread in his heart.

The longing for his mother, the concern for his childhood friends, and the memories of the happiness of the past hit his heart, constantly repeating, constantly intertwining, and constantly hitting his fragile heart like a hammer, everything is close at hand, but everything is out of reach.

"Mother, old patriarch, sister Wanqing, where are you!" Ye Hao was in the independent village, tears rained down.

I don't know how long it took for him to recover from his sadness, and he thought carefully as if he remembered something.

"By the way, it seems that I heard Uncle Guan Changdong say that Linjia Village was seriously damaged, and everyone has moved to Shijia Village, could it be that everyone is there?" Ye Hao's eyes lit up, wiped away his tears, and flew straight to the direction of Shijia Village.

When he came to Shijia Village, his whole heart sank, and the original lively scene had been lost here, although the houses were as neat as before, but the whole village was empty. He searched from house to house, but still couldn't find half a figure.

"Could it be that in order to avoid the Fire Sect, they all went to the secret cave mansion of the Lin Shi family?" Ye Hao thought of this, so he hurried to the Cangling Cave again, and when he arrived at the cave mansion, Ye Hao searched every corner, but there was still no trace of people.

"God, where did they go......" Ye Hao bit his lips tightly, blood was about to congage in his eyes.

The Lin and Shi families have lived and inherited at the foot of Jilei Mountain for tens of thousands of years, and they have never left, but at this moment, they have even abandoned the important land of the cave mansion in the clan, why on earth? If they moved to another place to avoid the Fire Sect, why didn't their mothers send a letter to themselves, and the few of them did not leave any hints in the evening, could it be that something happened to them? But the houses in Shijia Village are still the same, there are no traces of fierce fighting, and they do not look like they have been invaded......

"Who can tell me what happened!" Ye Hao smashed his fist on the stone wall of the cave, and traces of blood oozed from the cracks of his fists.

Wandering, Ye Hao suddenly remembered a scene from his childhood, when Ye Hao and Lin Long, Lin Hu, and Lin Qingwa often fought with the children of Shijia Village, and then they were afraid of being scolded by the patriarch and their families, so they often hid outside and did not dare to return to the village.

I wonder if Sister Wanqing left me a note there!

Thinking of this, Ye Hao couldn't hold back any longer, and flew back to Linjia Village.

When he found the carved wood, Ye Hao couldn't wait to dig it under the tree, and after a while, he dug out a wooden box.

"Sister Wanqing really didn't forget this agreement, and left a note for me!" Ye Hao was excited in his heart, opened the wooden box with trembling hands, and took out a note.

"Brother Hao, let's go, the patriarch said that this place has been targeted by the Fire Sect, and he can't stay and sit still, so the Lin Shi family wants to move the clan away, where to go, the patriarch didn't tell us, in order to let you practice in the Sword Pool with peace of mind, the patriarch didn't let us send you a letter, but I'm afraid that Brother Hao will be worried, so I left this note for you, I hope you can see it." We are all safe now, don't worry, Xiaolong said that he has seen the eldest mother, she is fine, you don't have to worry. Brother Hao, I miss you every day, I wonder if you miss me too?"

After reading the note left by Wanqing, Ye Hao exhaled deeply, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"I see...... Fortunately, Wanqing left this note, otherwise I shouldn't have done anything, why did the note say that Xiaolong had seen my mother, what does this mean? Could it be that my mother was not with them?" Thinking of this, Ye Hao's brows furrowed again, and he felt uneasy in his heart.

"Alas, no matter what, as long as you are all safe, I will be relieved......" Although Ye Hao understood the reason for the matter and was relieved, he still felt a sense of loss in his heart, this parting, I don't know how many days it will take to see each other again, and I can't help but feel melancholy and helpless sadness in my heart.

At this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly came from behind Ye Hao: "There is actually a remnant of Linjia Village here, it seems that we are worth the trip." ”
