Everyone raised their glasses. Although they were smiling, they had different feelings in their hearts.【】
Even outsiders like Gao Yang and Shen Tao can feel the faintness in such an atmosphere, but it can touch the sadness deep in people's hearts.
After finishing the meal, Li Hong immediately went to pack some specialties at home and asked Zhao Jing to take them away.
Including pickled vegetables and fruits from the trees.
Zhao Jing found it troublesome and refused, but her parents' enthusiasm was hard to deny. Besides, Gao Yang added more fuel at this time: "Xiao Jing, take it with you and put it in your storage bag. The fruits you have here are not for tasting." You can eat it, not to mention there are pickles, which taste great, and you can take them with you so that everyone can try them."
Having said that, Zhao Jing also felt that it was necessary to bring him along.
So they put all the things given by their mother into the storage bag, and then the three of them said goodbye to Zhao Chuan and his wife, and embarked on their return journey.
No, to be precise, Gao Yang and Zhao Jing embarked on their return journey.
As for Shen Tao, this time it was about leaving for him.
When the three of them arrived on the high-speed train, they found some topics to relieve their boredom. As they talked, Gao Yang asked about Shen Tao's past: "Old Shen, it stands to reason that before the earth changed, masters like you should be very popular. Even if the earth changes and the number of masters increases, you will still be a rare talent. What is the reason why you and Zhao Gang have an intersection."
It's quite strange to have Zhao Jing on the side. After all, Zhao Gang is just a figure in the village. His presence is not that strong after leaving the village. But Shen Tao is different. With his skills, he is a sought-after commodity everywhere. There is no reason to stay with Zhao. Zhuang followed Zhao Gang.
Shen Tao looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, his eyes became a little deeper, he pursed his lips and said calmly: "Brother Gao, do you remember what I said before that Zhao Gang was kind to me?"
Gao Yang nodded: "Yes, you said this. I'm quite surprised how Zhao Gang could help you?"
Shen Tao sighed: "It's embarrassing to say it, but actually I was chased and killed and escaped here."
Chase?
Gao Yang and Zhao Jing's expressions changed together.
Especially Gao Yang, he never thought that Shen Tao would come here for this reason. He frowned and asked: "What's going on? Did you provoke someone?"
Shen Tao nodded: "Yes, I did offend someone I shouldn't offend, and Brother Gao, I'm not afraid to confess to you. I decided to go with you. I still have some selfish motives. When I followed Zhao Gang, in addition to repaying my kindness, I , I am hiding here, and now I am following you. In addition to wanting to do something, I also want to use this to make myself come back out of the world, so that I will not live in the shadow forever!"
Who would have thought that such a calm and steady middle-aged man would actually have a belief as sharp as a sword hidden in his heart.
I have been hiding here for two years, but what I have not changed is my determination to get out.
People can choose to be mediocre, but no one wants to be forced to live a useless life.
Gao Yang could understand this feeling very well and said calmly: "Don't worry, Old Shen, I will never let you down this time, no matter who you offend?"
"Brother Gao, are you not afraid at all?"
Gao Yang smiled: "I'm not afraid."
Shen Tao looked at him inexplicably: "If someone else said this to me, maybe I would sneer at it, but I don't know why, I have no reason not to believe you when you say this."
Zhao Jing on the side naturally knew why Gao Yang always made people so trustworthy.
This is not only due to the extraordinary abilities he has displayed, but also because he has had too many experiences in his previous life and has reached the highest peaks.
Although he started over in this life, his mind and temperament could not be changed.
So she smiled: "Brother Shen, many people are like this when they first meet Gao Yang. They don't understand him very well, but he always gives people a sense of trust. By the way, who is the person you offended? Is he very powerful?"
There was despair in Shen Tao's eyes: "To be precise, he is an unshakable existence in Dongzhou. Even calling him a god is not an exaggeration."
Unshakable, God!
There are such powerful people in Dongzhou.
Zhao Jing's face couldn't help but become a little ugly: "Brother Shen, the person you are talking about cannot be Dongzhou God of War Lin...Lin Xuan, right?"
Shen Tao nodded, then shook his head: "Half of it is right, and half of it is wrong."
After a pause, he continued: "Lin Tianwang was rumored to have gone into seclusion in Ziri Valley decades ago. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I have offended this person much worse than Lin Tianwang, but he The relationship with Lin Tianwang is very close, because he is Lin Tianwang’s great-great-grandson.”
Great-great-grandson!
Gao Yang was a little surprised at the time, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. After all, Lin Xuan was from the same era as him. Although he was much younger than him and could be considered a junior, after he entered the Tianyan Fairyland, he was in the realm of cultivation. The process continued for another two hundred years.
In other words, no matter how young Lin Xuan is, he still has to be two hundred years old.
At such an age, let alone great-great-great-grandchildren, it is not surprising for great-great-great-grandchildren!
But what shocked Gao Yang was another thing. He frowned and said: "Old Shen, if my calculation is correct, Lin Xuan must have lived more than two hundred years ago."
Shen Tao nodded: "That's right."
Gao Yang hesitated and said: "How could such a person live for such a long time? You said he went into retreat in Ziri Valley decades ago. By rough calculation, he must have been over a hundred years old at that time."
Shen Tao hummed: "Yes."
Seeing Gao Yang being so surprised about Lin Xuan, Zhao Jing couldn't help but ask: "Why Gao Yang, is there any problem with this matter?"
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "I just remember that there is a limit to the age of cultivators. Lin Xuan is so powerful that he can live for more than a hundred years, and his life and death are still uncertain!"
Shen Tao explained: "What you are talking about probably happened more than 200 years ago. Before that, the life span of human beings was indeed very short. Being over a hundred years old was already very impressive. It was almost impossible to live to be two hundred years old. It's amazing, but since then, the world seems to have changed. The original spiritual energy is more dense, and the overall life of people's cultivation has been greatly extended. Masters who have reached the spiritual realm, if they are not terminally ill, generally speaking It won’t be a big problem if you live to be a hundred years old, and for a god like King Lin Zhan who has reached the Kunhuang Realm Grandmaster level, living to be two hundred years old is certainly not a problem.”
So that’s it!
After he entered Tianyan Fairyland, time changed, space changed, and even human lifespan changed.
What is this for?
Is it related to his entering Tianyan Fairyland?
Or some other reason!
After pondering for a while, Gao Yang suddenly asked: "Old Shen, who is Lin Xuan's great-great-grandson now, and what is his status in Dongzhou?"
Shen Tao was disappointed: "Once in Ziyang City, Changning Prefecture, Dongzhou, our Shen family was considered a first-class family, with business groups all over Changning Prefecture, and many outstanding children of the family were selected and specially trained to inherit the huge family business. But then the earth changed, and the power of the cultivation world airborne, which dealt a major blow to the status of the Shen family, including the sudden rise of the Lin family. At first, no one on earth knew Lin Xuan's name, but with the advent of the cultivation world, Lin Xuan gradually evolved into the War King of Dongzhou, and the descendants of the Lin family took root in Ziyang City in Changning Prefecture. The originally huge power developed slightly and became the first family in Ziyang City."
Gao Yang nodded and signaled, and Shen Tao continued.
Then Shen Tao continued: "Some of these descendants of the Lin family are quite upright, but some of them are doing all kinds of evil outside because of the popularity of King Lin Zhan. At that time, I encountered one, it was Lin Xuan's great-great-grandson Lin Butan. I couldn't bear to bully the weak in the street, so I stepped in to stop them. This was a hornet's nest. After Lin Budan relied on his superb strength to defeat and humiliate me, he directly threatened to give justice to our Shen family, otherwise not only would I have to die To repay the consequences of contradicting Lin Budan, our entire Shen family will be buried with him!"
Damn, so arrogant!
A cold light flashed in Gao Yang's eyes: "This bastard is too disgusting."
Shen Tao said helplessly: "The family is powerful, and he himself has no strength. Naturally, he is arrogant and arrogant. At that time, I didn't want to bring trouble to the family, so I had no choice but to leave my hometown and come to Getian Mansion. Lin Butan seemed to have something He made fun of me and sent people to chase me but didn't kill me. I kept walking and getting injured, but I didn't die in the end. I only waited for that injury to escape to the foot of Qingping Mountain, where I was accidentally discovered and rescued by Zhao Gang, and then I hid in the cave. Zhao Zhuang didn't go out again, and those people didn't come looking for him again. I thought those people had lost the clue and gave up searching, but later I found out about Lin Butan's sinister intentions!"
Zhao Jing had been listening on the sidelines and couldn't help but said at this moment: "Why, is this also Lin Budan's conspiracy?"
Shen Tao nodded: "Yes, when I disappeared, Lin Budan naturally wanted to vent his anger on the Shen family. But when I left, he said hello to the people in the clan and put all the responsibilities on me. So Lin Budan could only vent his anger on me, but he sent people to hunt me down, but he didn't kill me, because he would force me to hide in a place where no one was around. Without me, they would go back to We can bring trouble to the Shen family openly and openly, and under the pretext of seeking justice, we start to invade the Shen family's original property in Ziyang City. After going back and forth, the Shen family is now considered a third-rate family in Ziyang City."
Zhao Jing clenched her pink fist and said angrily: "This Lin Budan is so abominable."
Gao Yang was indifferent: "It doesn't matter Xiao Jing, he is a hateful person. After all, there are even more hateful people to teach him a lesson. Lao Shen, you don't have to worry. It's not that you won't retaliate. The time has not come yet. When the time comes, hehe, no matter how old Lin Budan is, Background, you have to spit out what you have eaten, nothing less will do!"
There was a light in Shen Tao's eyes: "Thank you, Brother Gao. To be honest, I once felt that the gap between me and the Lin family was too big, and I felt that I had no hope in this life. But you have rekindled my hope. This time no matter what No matter what, I will try my best to fight against the Lin family, not for anything else but for justice!" []
