Chapter 307 The descendants of the Shen family
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you look like a local person when you hear your accent. I just don't know where you were before, why you were injured, and why you fell on the bank of the Lushui River?" Chen Huayuan's eyes narrowed slightly, fell on Shen Luo's face and asked.
Chen Luo didn't know how to describe where he came from, so he had to ignore it and replied vaguely:
"Yesterday in Dengping City, I encountered a monster and giant insect attack in the city. I couldn't help it and fought with it. As a result, I was severely injured by the powerful monster hidden in the clouds. I was then injured by the giant insect and fell into the river. I didn't know it and drifted here."
Hearing this, Chen Huayuan's face changed slightly and his eyes also sank.
Chen Yu also frowned, and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Everyone around them looked at Shen Luo and their eyes changed, and some even started to whisper.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Yu, why do you react like this? Do you think what Chen said is untrue?" Chen Luo frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Dengping City you mentioned was already broken by demons more than ten years ago. The city had already been destroyed and people were no longer there. This lie is really crude." Chen Huayuan snorted coldly and said.
"What? Isn't that going to Pingcheng?" Chen Luo said in surprise.
"Head of the family, I think he is mostly a spy of a demon. He deliberately sneaked into our clan and wanted to follow him into the next city. Let's tie him up first." A man who looked like a guest shouted.
When the rest of the people heard this, they felt it was reasonable. After all, this kind of thing happened more than once in the surviving cities of the Tang Dynasty.
"You said that yesterday I saw a giant insect siege, and there were powerful demons hiding on the clouds?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, the person in the cloud seems...it seems to be called Qianyan Ancestor." Chen Luo recalled carefully for a while, remembered a name, and said quickly.
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked straight at him, his expression becoming more and more strange.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the city you saw yesterday was not Dengping City, but Chunhua City!" Before he could ask, Chen Yu had already given the answer.
"What? Is Chunhua County?" Chen Luo couldn't help but say.
In his impression, Chunhua City is just a small county town with a population of only 100,000. How could it be the huge city with a towering city wall yesterday?
"County Town? It seems that you haven't been to Dengzhou for a long time, right?" Chen Yu asked with a frown.
"It has never been since the disaster." Chen Luo put away his surprise and said with the flow.
"That's no wonder. After Dengping City was captured, the people who escaped from the city flocked to Chunhua City, stayed in the city, and expanded the entire city to its current scale. I think you were in a hurry and admitted your mistake." Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Chen Luo heard this and couldn't help but stay where he was.
Yesterday's city turned out to be Chunhua City, its real hometown.
After hearing this, the rest of the people looked at each other for a few moments and slightly dispelled their doubts.
"What's wrong with Chunhua City now?" Chen Luo still remembered the miserable scene of blood flowing in the city. After a while, he couldn't help but ask.
"When we escaped, the city gate had been broken. Once the city gate was broken, there was basically no possibility of defending it. After that, the demons would not only slaughter the people, but also destroy the city and houses. It seems that there was already a scorched earth there." Chen Yu said with a dim expression and a little bitter.
After hearing this, Chen Luo felt a slump in his heart, and a look of sadness flashed across his face.
After a while, he calmed down and looked out, and suddenly saw a huge dark red plaque tied to a carriage parked in front of him, with the three big words "Chen Jitang" written on it.
Chen Luo couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't the name of "Chen Jitang" the name of their Shen Family Pharmaceutical Store? How could it be tied to the carriage of this team of people? Could it be...
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his pupils couldn't help but grow bigger.
"Dare you ask the head of the Shen family, what business is running in your clan?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.
When Chen Huayuan heard this, he was a little puzzled why Chen Luo suddenly had this question, but he still answered: "Since our ancestor Yuange Gong, we have been running herbal business for generations, and have been running Chen Ji Hall and hanging pots to save the world."
After hearing this, Chen Luo was shocked and finally realized that the Shen clan members in front of him were probably descendants of his younger brother Chen Ci's lineage thousands of years ago, but he never expected that they would gather in this way.
Seeing Chen Luo fall into silence again, Chen Huayuan and Chen Yu also felt strange. After looking at each other, they asked:
"What are you thinking about with Fellow Daoist Chen? I'm so trance?"
"It's nothing, I just think that fate is amazing. My ancestors were also practitioners of medicine, but they just traveled barefoot to the doctor and left no family business." Chen Luo smiled and said.
"It's amazing to say that. You and my ancestors are in the same line, and you also have the same name as our ancestors. It seems that being able to meet is also a destiny." Chen Huayuan nodded and said.
After hearing this, Chen Luo suddenly moved his heart and asked, "After saying this, I am very interested in the senior Chen Luo of your ancestors. I don't know what his life has. Can you explain it?"
His face seemed as calm as water, but his heart was quite turbulent.
If you can learn about your life and deeds from these younger generations, it means that when he returns to reality, all the things you know will become unsuccessful. Isn’t it equivalent to knowing the future?
When Chen Huayuan heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes and did not answer immediately.
"The life and deeds of that old ancestor Chen Luo are rarely recorded in the family. I only know that he left the family very early and embarked on the road of cultivation. After that, he rarely returned, and only left behind the passing-through skills for the family. Therefore, although our descendants respected him and were even more fascinated, they were not sure what kind of deeds had happened to him." Chen Yu spoke generously and replied.
"That's a pity. After hearing what the fellow Taoist said, I think that the aristocratic ancestor is also an amazing person. It is also a privilege to be able to have the same name as him." Chen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
Although he felt a little regretful, he did not continue to ask again, otherwise such actions would inevitably cause doubt.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I don't know what your plans are next, where are you going?" Chen Yu also smiled and asked.
"Oh, I'm not sure about it. I have been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years and cannot escape from the world. A large number of traces of monsters appeared in the valley where I lived a few days ago. I had no choice but to go to Dengping City... Oh, it's Chunhua City. I didn't expect that I encountered demons siege the city shortly after I arrived in the city, and I had nowhere to go now." Chen Luo sighed and said.
