Returning to his residence, Shen Mo saw that after the Lingzang Rat was full, he found a corner, curled up and basked in the sun lazily.
"Are you sleeping? Let me take a rest too." Shen Mo stretched and thought to himself.
Even though I have been guarding the Xuanjing mine for the past two months, I am not like other disciples who have gone out on missions and experienced all kinds of dangers.
But after all, I haven’t had much rest. Now that I’m back to the sect, it’s time to take a rest.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Is it Senior Sister Chen?"
He was slightly startled and went over to open the door.
What caught my eye was not Chen Mengze’s face, but a middle-aged man.
"Deacon Ma?"
This person is clearly Ma Gan, who is responsible for the affairs of the inner and outer disciples of the sect.
"You came to see me here, do you have something important?"
He was a little confused. Logically speaking, the other party should be looking for him if he had nothing to do.
"Your father is Shen Yuanchang, who disappeared twenty years ago, right?" Ma Gan didn't come in to sit down, so he took out the list of peripheral disciples, flipped through them, and asked.
"Not bad." Shen Mo nodded.
"That's enough." Deacon Ma said, "Someone is looking for your father, saying he is from your family and wants to ask for something."
"Looking for my father?"
Shen Mo was startled: "Is he from the family..."
Regarding family affairs, Shen Mo found some information in the memory of the original owner.
Shen Mo's father, Shen Yuanchang, was born in the Shen family of Tianyou City.
The Shen family is a martial arts family that has practiced martial arts for generations. They rely on bodyguards and mining to make a living, so they have quite a foundation.
But Shen Mo's father, Shen Yuanchang, was just a branch of the Shen family and was not taken seriously.
His parents were sick and died one after another when Shen Yuanchang was in his twenties.
After that, Shen Yuanchang decided to go out to find immortals and seek enlightenment.
During his career in the world, he met Shen Mo's mother.
After the two got married, they gave birth to Shen Mo. By chance, they joined the Linjiang Sect and devoted themselves to practice.
From then on, I never returned to the Shen family again.
"Why is it that someone is suddenly looking for you at this moment?" Shen Mo was quite confused. Logically speaking, this relationship has been broken for more than 20 years.
"Where is that person?"
"Beyond the mountain gate."
Deacon Ma said calmly: "Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the immortal gate. If you want to see him, you can go to the mountain gate by yourself."
........
Linjiang Sect, outside the mountain gate.
The Shen family member who came to look for relatives was a strong man with a beard on his face, and his appearance was very similar to Shen Mo.
He was wearing a light blue robe, dusty from all the travel, and looked a little embarrassed because he had been traveling day and night and had no time to wash up.
"Who are you?"
Shen Mo stepped forward and asked.
"The second son of Shen Zhou, the head of the Shen family in Tianyou City, Shen Zhiyun."
When Shen Zhiyun saw Shen Mo, he couldn't figure out who he was for a moment, so he quickly saluted: "Has Master Immortal informed me? My cousin, would you like to come out and meet me?"
Cousin?
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he wanted to call this person uncle based on his seniority.
But he didn't come forward to get married.
In fact, the original owner had never been in contact with the Shen family and had no feelings for the family.
Not to mention Li Daitao's stiff Shen Mo.
"Why are you looking for him?"
"I dare not hide it from the Immortal Master." Shen Zhiyun said quickly, "I came here because my family is in trouble and I want to ask my cousin for help."
Although Shen Yuanchang became a member of the Linjiang Sect, he never returned to the Shen family.
But he also sent a letter. In the letter, he stated that he had joined the Immortal Sect and also left the address of Linjiang Sect.
Because of this, he found this place.
"The family is in trouble?" Shen Mo shook his head, "Then you came too late."
"He passed away. Twenty years ago, he was killed by a tide of beasts in the Linjiang Mountains."
Since he was not asked to go back and inherit the family business, but to help, Shen Mo was even less interested.
"Dead...dead?"
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately became devastated: "Then... I am afraid that our Shen family will not be able to escape this disaster."
He traveled thousands of miles to come here just for this glimmer of hope.
Now, the last hope has been shattered.
A burly man with a beard, nearly two meters tall, burst into tears in front of Shen Mo.
Shen Mo frowned and originally thought of turning around and leaving.
But for some reason, when I saw Shen Zhiyun crying, I felt unbearable.
"That's all, let's accept this cause and effect."
Shen Mo knew that his irritable mood mostly came from the memory and instinct of the original owner.
"I am Shen Yuanchang's son. If there is anything going on with my family, you can tell me."
As soon as Shen Mo said these words, Shen Zhiyun, who was still crying and showing two tonsils swaying in the wind, suddenly stopped his emotions.
"He is indeed a descendant of his cousin!"
"Good nephew, good nephew!"
He excitedly patted Shen Mo on the shoulder and said.
In fact, when he saw Shen Mo's appearance, he felt that he was somewhat similar to a member of the Shen family. In addition, with such questioning, it was obvious that he was not an unrelated person.
After thinking for a moment, I have a guess in my mind.
It's just that Shen Mo is an immortal master after all.
If he didn't take the initiative to admit this relationship, Shen Zhiyun wouldn't dare to climb high.
The miserable gesture just now was half-truth and half-false, done to impress Shen Mo.
Seeing this, Shen Mo also guessed the other party's little thoughts, but he didn't care.
Doing things by yourself means following your own will.
Furthermore, whether to help or not depends on what happened to the Shen family.
"I remember that the Shen family was considered a well-known family in Tianyou City and lived a pretty good life. How could it cause such a disaster?"
"Alas..." Shen Zhiyun sighed and told the whole story.
It turns out that in the many years since Shen Yuanchang left the family, the development momentum of the Shen family has been good.
The family has many talented people, and with the vigorous expansion of the bodyguard, mining and other industries, it has become the top martial arts family in Tianyou City.
Five years ago, Shen Zhou, as the current head of the family, was jointly elected by all the righteous sects and aristocratic families in Tianyou City as the leader of the martial arts alliance to fight against the Blood Clothes Sect, which specializes in human blood sacrifice and commits all kinds of evil.
As the leader of Tianyou City's martial arts world, the Shen family took the lead on that day and united dozens of forces, large and small, in Tianyou City to directly eradicate the Blood Clothes Sect, eliminating great harm to the martial arts world.
In the past few years, the Shen family's prestige in Tianyou City has reached its peak.
But the good times did not last long.
"Half a year ago, in Tianyou City, someone once again took up the banner of the Blood Clothes Sect and started blood sacrifices to living people."
"Not only did they come back and continue to do evil, but... they also threatened to take revenge and make all the righteous martial arts people who massacred the Blood Clothes Sect pay the price."
When Shen Zhiyun said this, he paused and then continued: "At first, we didn't care. After all, in the battle that year, the blood-clothed sect leader died in the battle, and all the elders and hall masters under the sect were also beheaded."
"The ones who really escaped alive are at most blood-clothed sect minions and second- and third-rate masters. In just a few years, no matter what, they won't be able to regroup and regain the power of the demon sect back then."
"But...what everyone never expected is..."
"Those remnants of the Demon Cult really did what they said!"
