In the Chongwu Continent, there are no electric lights, and the light used by mortals here is sun oil.

Sun oil is the resin of the sun tree.

The Sun Tree is a very common tree in the Chongwu Continent.

The tree grows very fast, has needles, is shaped like a giant umbrella, and the resin is combustible.

A one-foot-diameter solar tree produces solar oil every year, which can be used by an ordinary household for two years.

At this moment, the streets and alleys of Surabaya City are lit with lights, and from a distance, the stars are gathered, like a brilliant galaxy.

Sima Chong walked on the street, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Especially when he looked at the children who were shopping at the night market with their parents, his eyes were a little moist.

This night market in Surabaya City used to be visited, but it was always rushing back and forth, in and out of the lights.

Never before has I enjoyed the night view here so alone.

Walking down the street to the moat, blowing the cool breeze of Xixi, he felt a kind of comfort that he had never felt before, and if he didn't worry about his family, he wouldn't want to leave.

The reason why he left Song Dahu and the others in a hurry, in addition to not wanting to mix with them, the biggest reason was that he was still thinking about going back to Zhujia Town, he wanted to know what happened at home, causing his mother to ruthlessly get him so far away, and almost lost his life.

As for the danger of his mother and father, he never thought about it, because since he was a child, he had never seen anyone dare to threaten his parents.

In the entire Surabaya County, as long as Sima Zhongyuan stomped his feet, the ground would tremble.

But his mother's words, his mother's tears, made his heart full of worry.

Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, two people dressed as wealthy businessmen walked slowly in front of him.

"Brother Huo, as soon as Sima Villa falls, you are well-informed and the first to start, this time I am afraid that you will make a lot of money. ”

"Hahahaha, this time it's just a coincidence, and I took over one-fifth of Sima Villa's business, but Brother Liu, you're not bad, didn't you also take over Jubaoxuan and Elixir Pavilion?"

"Hahahaha...... ...... each other"

The two gradually talked far away, and Sima Chong originally wanted to follow up and listen to a few more words, but after glancing at the four big men following behind the two, he still stopped.

The conversation between the two men echoed in his head, and he stood on the riverbank.

Is there really something wrong in the family?Otherwise, why would my family's Jubaoxuan and Elixir Pavilion be taken over by that person?

Thinking of this, his heart could no longer be calm.

He really wanted to give birth to two wings, and immediately flew back to Zhujia Town to see what was going on, where did he care what his mother Lin Jiaojiao told him not to go back.

But at this time, it was night, the city gate had already been closed, and if you want to go back to Zhujia Town, you can only wait until after dawn tomorrow.

He temporarily pressed the thought of going home in his heart, and wandered aimlessly around Surabaya City.

Walking past a tavern lit by several sun oil lamps, he heard a loud shout from inside:

"Liu Laosi, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell me why Sima Villa was destroyed, I invite you to drink ten silver coins of wine. ”

As soon as Sima Chong heard this shout, he immediately pricked up his ears, raised his feet and walked inside.

At this time, another voice said unhurriedly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, this news is really not an ordinary commentary, I also spent a lot of money to get it from Bao Qin, there are no hundred gold coins, please forgive me for not being able to say." ”

Sima Chong was walking towards the tavern, but a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared at the door, stopped him and said, "Go, go, this is a tavern, don't take in beggars." ”

Sima Chong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the tattered clothes of his body had not been changed, but at this time, there was news of his own family inside, where did he still have the heart to buy clothes.

He glared at the woman, and her already hideous face looked even more terrifying, and when the woman saw it, she suddenly screamed "Mom", shrank behind the counter, and no longer dared to stop in front of him.

Sima Chong thought to himself, if on weekdays, I am afraid that Lao Tzu will pass by the door, even if you don't come in to drink, you will run out and say hello enthusiastically, shouting "Big young master, let's go", but today, he won't even let the door in.

He took out a gold coin and put it on the counter, gave the woman a cold look, and walked over to the large group of people inside.

The people inside were exclaimed by the woman, and they also turned their heads one after another, and when they saw Sima Chong's face, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, but when they saw Sima Chong's tattered body and a child, they didn't take it to heart, and they began to take out gold coins and pester Liu Laosi, the storyteller here.

Liu Laosi looked at the gold coins on the table in front of him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's only less than eighty, and it's not even enough capital, what do you tell me to say?"

These storytellers also have some news on a regular basis, which they use to arouse the interest of the listeners and increase their income.

In fact, the destruction of Sima Villa has already spread everywhere, and it is not news, but the reason for the destruction of Sima Villa, although there are many versions, are also speculations by everyone.

But Liu Laosi just said that he knew the real reason why Sima Villa was destroyed, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

But curiosity is curiosity, the people who come to drink in this tavern are not rich, and they don't have much money, these dozen or so people beat nearly eighty gold coins, which is already the limit of everyone, at this time, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't want to take out another gold coin.

Liu Laosi glanced at everyone, and also knew the difficulties of those who came here to drink, his eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he said to everyone: "That's it, as long as everyone takes out another ten gold coins, I will tell everyone." ”

But no matter what he said, everyone just shook their heads, and some even reached out and grabbed the gold coins on the table.

"Forget it, I'll get my gold back. ”

Liu Laosi bit his lip tightly, and even though that hand picked up the two gold coins, he didn't squeak.

"Say!"

At this time, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, it was Sima Chong who was outside, he took out ten gold coins and threw them in front of Liu Laosi.

Everyone glanced at Sima Chong in surprise, and consciously made way for Sima Chong, but Sima Chong didn't go in, but only sat down on the edge of the crowd.

The hotel owner was also a little surprised to see Sima so generous, and wanted to come forward to talk to him, but after looking at Sima Chong's face, he sat back at the counter in frustration.

Liu Laosi quickly put away the gold coins on the table, looked at Sima Chong and said with a smile: "This young master, I'll say it, I'll say it." ”

"The name of Sima Villa, I don't think I need to say it anymore, but if you want to talk about the reason why Sima Villa was destroyed, you have to start with the origin of Sima Villa. ”

Liu Laosi picked up the wine bowl and took a small sip of wine, then looked at everyone and asked, "Who of you knows the origin of Sima Villa?"

Seeing that everyone shook their heads like a drum, Liu Laosi said proudly: "Sima Villa suddenly appeared in Zhujia Town twenty years ago, and then almost monopolized the elixir business in Surabaya County within five years, everyone said that this Zhujia Town is not simple?"

"It's not easy. Everyone nodded in unison.

"It's not simple, it is said that on the evening of the day when Sima Villa was destroyed, someone saw Sima Zhongyuan, the owner of Sima Villa, and his wife Lin Jiaojiao fighting with more than a dozen people in the sky, they all used flying swords, and they all used immortal methods!"

"So Sima Zhongyuan and his wife Lin Jiaojiao are both immortals?" someone asked.

"Immortals are not, but they are cultivators, but they are not fake. Liu Laosi explained.

Hearing this, Sima Chong was also shocked on the spot, he was twelve years old, but he never knew that his parents were cultivators, but when he heard that his parents were besieged by more than a dozen people, he was eager to hear the result, and involuntarily asked: "What happened later." ”

Although the matter of Sima Villa had already spread, he only heard about it today.

Although everyone kept saying that his family was destroyed, he never wanted to believe that his parents would die, wouldn't they run away?

Liu Laosi glanced at everyone, then looked at Sima Chong and said: "Later, Sima Villa was shrouded in a black mist, and after the fog dissipated, when a bold person entered, it was already full of dead people, and even the subordinates were all dead." ”

"Ahh

As soon as Sima Chong heard the bad news, he couldn't help but cry out sadly.

Everyone looked at Sima Chong, whose eyes were red, and they were all a little curious as to why this kid would react so much.

"What's wrong with the master, could it be that you are a relative of Sima Villa?" asked Liu Laosi tentatively.

"No ......"

Sima Chong's heart was full of grief, he finally understood why his mother was crying, why she had to take himself away, it turned out that she had long known that she would die.

"Alas, the Sima Villa is from outside, and there are no relatives in the local area, which everyone knows. ”

Liu Laosi seemed to be relieved when he heard Sima Chong say "no", and said: "There are many house slaves and subordinates in Sima Villa, and after the accident, there are many house slaves and their families who go to identify the corpses, that scene ...... Alas, it's really miserable......"

Speaking of this, Liu Laosi is like seeing and experiencing it with his own eyes.

Although Sima Chong was sad in his heart, he had not lost his mind, and knew that he could not reveal his identity, otherwise the enemy knew that he was still alive, and he was afraid that he would have to find it to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart to avenge this annihilation, and his eyes gradually became resolute.

"Liu Laosi, we gave money to listen to the reason why Sima Villa was destroyed, you won't fool us like this, right?"

"Yes, we've heard what you've said many times, so let's hurry up and tell you the reason for the destruction. ”

Seeing that Liu Laosi did not tell the reason for the destruction of Sima Villa, everyone began to urge.

"Hehe, everyone, don't worry, won't I say it right away?"

Liu Laosi took another sip of wine before he said: "Sima Zhongyuan, the owner of Sima Villa, is a disciple of the Xiuzhen sect, who assassinated the senior brother of the same sect and robbed the property of the senior brother of the same sect in the sect, and then fled to Zhujia Town to establish Sima Villa, and lived in seclusion with his wife Lin Jiaojiao. ”

"No, is Sima Zhongyuan such a person?"

"Alas, people die for money, birds die for food, what's impossible?"

"Since that fellow senior brother has been killed by Sima Zhongyuan, who will take revenge?"

"Didn't you hear that Sima Zhongyuan and his wife were besieged by more than a dozen cultivators? ”

Liu Laosi picked up the wine bowl and drank, and everyone began to talk about it.

Only Sima Chong didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on his toes, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Finally, someone thought of a question: "Liu Laosi, why did that sect send people after 20 years?"

Liu Laosi glanced at the person who asked the question and said, "Of course, it was twenty years later that the sect found Sima Zhongyuan and his wife who lived in seclusion!"

The man said: "But Sima Zhongyuan is not hiding, he has been doing business, and the business is still very big?"

Liu Laosi glanced at the man like an idiot, and scolded: "Whoever fucking said that if you live in seclusion, you must hide, do you have a fucking brain." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Liu Laosi's scolding caused everyone to laugh.

Sima Chong took advantage of the laughter of everyone and left the tavern, and was looking for a place to vent, but saw a carriage coming quickly on the opposite side.

Sima Chong just glanced at the carriage in a hurry, and his brain "buzzed", and his eyes could no longer leave the iron cage on top of the carriage.
