Everyone has a smile on their face, a kind of excitement, and a kind of expectation.
The caravan has been late for so long that it is almost desperate. Now as soon as the news of the caravan's return is heard, the entire shanty town is in commotion.
The crowd gathered and walked in one direction.
Chen Li was equally excited and followed the crowd for a few minutes. Soon, he saw the caravan.
This is a huge caravan.
More than a dozen giant camel beasts were lined up in a row, with mountains of goods hanging on them, and more people were coming over, covered in dust, almost forming a long queue. He made a rough estimate, and there were more than a few people coming.
Hundreds of people.
However, the more Chen Li looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Why are so many people coming?
When he saw that many of them had families with them, ranging from octogenarians to babies waiting to be fed, his heart was even more agitated.
This is not a caravan at all!?
How can there be a caravan traveling with a family?
This is more like a family moving...to escape.
Chen Li's disappointment was beyond words.
Others obviously noticed it, and the crowd's excitement gradually subsided.
"Fellow Daoist Chen..."
Suddenly, Chen Li heard a familiar voice and turned around, only to find that it was Lin Gui.
"It's really Fellow Daoist Chen." Lin Gui sneaked through the crowd and said happily.
"Why did you come out? Aren't you making elixirs for the gang?" Chen Li asked strangely.
"Shh!" Lin Gui quickly said nervously to Zuo Zhang, "There are many people here, don't talk about it, I escaped. Alas, this Wei Qingyi is nothing, you know I can make a bottle... that, he
How much do you want to give me?
A low-grade spiritual stone.
He himself took out five low-grade spiritual stones.
The price difference is five times.
Do you think this is true?
I used to sell three low-grade spiritual stones."
Lin Gui said nonchalantly, with a heartbroken look on his face.
Chen Li couldn't empathize.
Isn’t it normal that the final sales price is five times the ex-factory price?
"Fortunately, evil is rewarded. Some time ago, instead of the major gangs encircling and suppressing the monster, he was unlucky and was killed by the monster. I escaped while the Tsing Yi Gang was in chaos."
"Then where do you live now?" Chen Li asked.
"Oh, I can only find a house to live in!" Lin Gui said with a sad face.
It looked like he regretted escaping.
Really...
Why bother! Why bother!
Which gang wouldn't carefully protect such an unconventional talent?
Although the profit may not be much, the advantage is safety, unlike now where you have to worry about monsters coming to your door at any time.
Chen Li asked the other party's address, but did not reveal his own.
"Comrades..."
At this time, an old and hoarse voice in the team said: "The Yu family, together with their young and old, have come to your place to avoid trouble. They plan to stay there for a long time. I hope that we can support each other and tide over the difficulties together in the future."
The sound seemed to carry a weak magic power and reached everyone's ears clearly.
The crowd of onlookers fell silent, then became agitated and returned the favor again and again.
"It's the foundation-building monk!" Lin Gui whispered.
Chen Li looked at an old man wearing a lake blue robe in the middle of the team. He raised his hands and gestured around, then returned to the camel beast. He stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
He looked very old, with dots of age spots on his wrinkled skin, and his face had no color and looked extremely pale.
Just pay more attention to this foundation-building monk.
Chen Li was more concerned about the meaning of his words.
Come far away to avoid trouble!
Let’s get through this together!
What does it mean?
Is life more difficult elsewhere?
Even such a cultivating family has to travel far away to avoid disaster and move their whole family here.
…
On the second day.
The news has already spread.
Ever since the Jindan Patriarch of the Immortality Sect repelled the invading sect at the cost of his own death, the entire Immortality Domain has never been at peace.
The Changsheng Sect is not the only force in the Changsheng Domain.
The large and small cultivation families in the territory are intertwined, and it is not uncommon to build foundations. There are countless small hills under the big mountains. In fact, many cultivation families have already begun to completely defect when the three major sects attacked the Changsheng Sect for the second time.
.
If the ancestor of the Golden Pill of the Changsheng Sect could survive the war, these would naturally be just ringworm and scabies.
Can't afford any trouble.
Those who follow life and go against it will perish.
The key is to die.
The strength of the Changsheng Sect dropped off a cliff.
Relying on the inertia of the previous order and some means of merging divisions, the Changsheng Sect managed to maintain itself for only a few months. This winter, it could no longer maintain itself, and finally a full-scale turmoil broke out.
This is why the caravan has not arrived yet.
Under the current situation, who would care about a border place like Green River Square?
In comparison, this almost-forgotten Green River Square seemed like a peaceful paradise at this time.
If there were no monsters raging.
…
In a damp tunnel.
"There is no peace in this damn world." Chen Li, who had just returned from outside, was pacing back and forth irritably, cursing in a low voice.
"We have no shortage of clothes and food now. Living in caves is quite safe. The war won't last long. It will pass after a while. Haven't you seen even the foundation-building monks moving here?" Zhou Hong said.
He said with relief.
“I hate living in tunnels!”
Zhou Hong nestled in Chen Li's arms:
"It will eventually pass. There are never difficult times in life. Just get through it and it will be fine."
"Hey, don't comfort me. I just had too high expectations, which caused a huge gap. Let me vent." Chen Li gently hugged Zhou Hong: "I also want to understand, there is no such thing as a peaceful life in this world.
Go ahead and struggle to survive!"
…
The Jiji family is very low-key.
After coming to Green River Square, we neither built extensively nor occupied the city. We only chose an area close to the city, paid for the casual cultivators of a street to move away, and simply repaired and expanded it, and that's it.
Settled down.
However, the presence of a foundation-building monk still touched the hearts of the entire shanty town.
These days, people from gangs come to visit every day, but it is said that they are all turned away. Not only does the foundation-building monk stay behind closed doors all day long, but even members of his family rarely go out and hardly interact with outsiders.
comminicate.
This disappoints many people.
…
"This Foundation Establishment monk should have been injured when he arrived. Considering his age, the situation may even be worse. Otherwise, the entire Yu family would not be so low-key. After all, they are also a Foundation Establishment family."
When Chen Li went to Zhang Yan to buy talisman skins, Zhang Yan thought about it and said.
"You can't count on that foundation-building monk." He sighed:
"It is estimated that this person will consider taking action only when the second-level monster comes to the door. It is hard to say whether he can defeat it by then. People moved here to preserve the family and leave a way out for the family. They are not here to fight for their lives.
