The night was getting darker, and four figures passed by outside the high-walled courtyard of Shenjiazhuang. The one at the front was a young man who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with eyes as clear as water on his gloomy face. A middle-aged man followed closely behind him, seemingly.
Afraid that he would do something reckless, a few feet behind them were two slender and weak figures, their beautiful figures wrapped in dark robes. They always kept this distance from the person in front of them.
Echoing each other from a distance.
Until the young man at the front stopped on a mound not far or near from Shenjiazhuang, the middle-aged man stood shoulder to shoulder with him, holding hands. The young man looked at it for a while and said in a deep voice: "Second uncle, just ahead is Jiuli Town.
Now." The middle-aged man raised his head and looked forward. Today, there is no trace of the small town that it once was. Instead, it has been built into a magnificent garden. The walls are more than ten feet high, and the pavilions and pavilions are set in it. It is magnificent.
Full of energy.
"How long does it take to build such a big garden?" A clear female voice sighed softly, "But in this case, where should we find that person?" It was Ting Yu who spoke, and the figure in the moonlight was
Chen Su et al.
In response to Ting Yu's question, Chen Su shook his head, "This place has completely changed. It used to be the entrance to the town, and my home was not far inside." Chen Su said, pointing to the location, and he still clearly remembered it.
The two courtyards side by side, "but now there are no traces of those years at all." He tried hard to look inside, but was blocked by tall buildings. Chen Su bent his knees, and ejected into the sky.
Since entering the Yinji Realm, coupled with the cultivation of Yuanli in the Danyuan Realm, he has been able to stand in the air, just like when the eagle feathers were added to his body.
Seeing Chen Su's body hanging in the air without falling, Song Yi knew the details and naturally didn't feel strange. However, Ting Yu was quite surprised and whispered in her sister's ear: "Sister, look at him, he can actually fly, so
How many days have I not noticed?"
Ting Yan smiled and poked her sister on the forehead with her finger, "Silly girl, his martial arts are much better than yours and mine, so his ability to step into the air is nothing unusual."
"Oh?" Ting Yu seemed to suddenly realize, "No wonder my sister is determined to follow him. It turns out that she has seen through his true identity a long time ago."
Ting Yan's smiling face flew across a wisp of red clouds, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? But you are not the same?" Ting Yan looked at her sister's naughty and cunning smile, and pulled her into her arms, "Little girl, you dare to laugh at me
Really?" The two sisters laughed playfully, and the clear voice spread far through the quiet night. Ting Yan suddenly put her finger in front of her lips and "shushed", "Okay, okay, stop making trouble."
Only then did the two girls become quiet again.
Chen Su stepped on the void, with the full moon behind him. He was like an elf at night, looking down at the garden. In this huge garden, not only were pavilions and pavilions built, but even the mountains and rivers were imitated.
There are as many as four layers of courtyards. The Jiuli Town of the past has changed beyond recognition and turned into the territory of the Shen family today. Of course, this is all due to the power of the Beizhu Palace. After watching it for a while, Chen Su barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
, falling on the mound.
"Second uncle, I just took a look and I'm afraid the entire Jiuli Town has been occupied by the Shen family." Chen Su observed Song Yi's expression as he spoke. Seeing that Song Yi didn't speak, he continued: "So,
I want to go in and have a look."
"No!" Song Yi said in a deep voice: "There may be many masters in such a big garden. I don't worry if you go alone. If you go, I will accompany you." Song Yi was worried that Chen Su would be reckless and there would be no one there.
He is restrained by his side, fearing that he will be eager for revenge. Although his strength is already good now, facing the huge Shen family, there is no guarantee that he will not be deceived and suffer losses.
"Second uncle, don't worry, I know what to do. I'll go in and see if I can find someone to inquire about Doctor Qin's whereabouts. It's easier to move alone. As long as I find Doctor Qin and ask everything, I'll come back. Even if I'm looking for
If not, I will come out to look for you before dawn, and I will never do anything inappropriate."
Song Yi thought for a moment and realized what Chen Su said was true. One person's actions are indeed much more secretive than two people's, and Chen Su's strength was far stronger than his own. If anything unexpected happened, he would be able to escape unscathed by himself.
Carrying myself would be a burden, "Then, you have to promise to be back before dawn!"
Chen Su nodded, "Without further delay, Second Uncle, take them both and find a secret place to hide. I will come back here to look for you at dawn."
Song Yi turned around and looked at Ting Yan sisters. The two of them were standing more than ten feet away from the mound, looking extremely well-behaved. "It seems that this is the way it is. If the three of us stand here like this, we will definitely be seen by others."
To arouse suspicion, if you don't see us here when you come back at dawn, go and look for us to the north. We have agreed that you must be back before dawn."
"I understand, second uncle." Under the gazes of Song Yi and the others, Chen Su's figure jumped forward and disappeared into the night like a ghost. What a speed! Sister Ting Yan looked at each other and both
He saw surprise in the other party's eyes. It turned out that Chen Su had deliberately slowed down his pace along the way. Although Song Yi knew it in his heart, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Chen Su's movement. After a few breaths, he waited for the figure
After disappearing behind the high wall, the three of them turned and left the mound.
The tall courtyard wall felt like walking on flat ground to Chen Su, and he landed lightly in the courtyard. He looked around, hoping to find some traces of Jiuli Town in the past. After observing for a while, he found nothing.
It was the entrance to the town back then." Chen Su calculated the distance and direction in his mind, looking for a way to walk towards his home. At the same time, he spread his mental energy and carefully detected the surrounding situation. In almost half a cup of tea, he turned around.
Arriving at a lake that had been covered with thin ice, there were winding paths leading deep into the center of the lake. The octagonal pavilion in the middle was probably the location of the house where he and his father lived. Seeing this, Chen Su couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
The government has erased all connections between him and his family. Playing in the courtyard, catching crickets in front of and behind the house, playing chess in the courtyard, and even taking a nap in the open air have all become permanent memories in his mind.
.
After looking at the pavilion in the middle of the lake for a moment, Chen Su jumped over the lake and landed in the stone pavilion. He lowered his body and stroked the cold bluestone under his feet. This was the place where he spent his good time. Now it seemed like a lifetime ago.
While sighing, Chen Su's eyebrows suddenly condensed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Someone is coming!" He exerted force on his limbs, his body bounced up, and his back was pressed against the umbrella cover of Huxin Pavilion.
Not long after, six servants who were watching the night came straight to the stone pavilion. These people had some cultivation, almost in the early stages of the Xingqi realm. Their cultivation was mostly for the purpose of strengthening their bodies. The two people behind them continued to
He complained, "You guys are too careful. It's so late and it's such a cold day. Even the outer courtyard has to ask us to check. In the past two years, everyone in the town has died and escaped."
, the rest are either old, weak, sick, disabled or stupid, what else is there to worry about?"
"That's what I'm saying, but this is not a bad thing. Don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. The Shen family has done too many harmful things in the past few years. It would be strange not to be afraid! The weather is dry now. If someone comes to set a fire, they will
Don’t you feel heartbroken to death?”
"Do you think we are helping evil?"
"Okay, you two, please stop saying a few words and hurry up and finish the night check, I have to go back to sleep!"
"Damn it, have you, Fang San, received many benefits in the past six months?"
"Hmph, you are a bastard if you don't take advantage of it. What are we doing for the Shen family?"
"I heard that your boy has hooked up with the grandma in the Seventh Master's Courtyard? Is it any wonder that you are so anxious to go back, fearing that you won't be able to sleep?"
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.
"Fuck you, you dare to talk nonsense, be careful with your tongue."
"Hey, tell me how you hooked up so that the brothers can learn from you."
"That's right! But we may not be able to learn from Fang San, a young man with oily hair and noodle, who has a lot of luck with women."
"Get the fuck out of here."
…
Chen Su waited for the six night watch servants to go away before he realized that this was the outer courtyard of the garden. In fact, it was almost like a garden. It seemed that this was not where the Shen family lived. According to what the servants just said
, there should not be many people left in the town. Everyone either escaped like Lu Liang and the others, or died here. But it is no wonder that when the Shen Mansion occupied the place, they just forced the villagers into slavery, and there was no such thing as
Treat everyone as a human being.
Chen Su fell from the top of the pavilion, like a leaf falling on the lake. The servants had walked more than ten feet away, and he followed quietly. Since the outer courtyard was not a residence, they would definitely be able to lead him there.
In this way, you don't have to search hard for a place where people live. As long as you can find a familiar face, just ask about Doctor Qin's whereabouts. And the seventh master they just mentioned, could it be Shen Yu? If you happen to meet him,
He might even be able to let out a bad breath himself.
Chen Su made up his mind and quietly followed several servants. They kept talking and laughing with each other along the corridor, until after about a moment, the leader stopped and said, "Brothers, you guys
, I think that’s it for today, as long as everyone keeps their mouths shut, I’ll go back to Manager Jun to report, and you can go and have some rest.”
"Hey, you guys can thank Brother Ma for your kindness."
"Go!" The man surnamed Ma waved his hand, and when everyone dispersed, he said again: "By the way, Fang San, you will go with me on business later."
"Why is it me?" Fang San paused in his steps and turned around reluctantly.
"Yes, Brother Ma, Grandma Qi is waiting for him. Will he be skinned if he comes back late?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" He choked and stuck out his tongue in fright, knowing that the man named Ma wanted to keep Fang San. When the four people left, Fang San looked displeased and said coldly: "Ma
Cheng, what do you mean by keeping me?"
"Humph." Ma Cheng curled his lips and smiled, "Don't think I don't know that the seventh master's ninth wife is the biological sister of Manager Jun?"
