On the second day, Zhang Baoer and Chen Qing arrived at Shen'en City under the escort of two true immortals.
The people in the city were reluctant to part with the layout that Zhang Baoer originally arranged, so there were not many changes. Shen'en City was different because Zhang Baoer said to the city owner Miao Yuan, 'Build a city there, a city that will not be bullied by others.' So now
It has been changing all the time.
Because before the last ruins were opened, people and things such as Zhang Baoer, Wu Yiba, Leng Di, the goddess holding the fox flag, Shenlong, the stone man... the capture of the Yan Emperor's son and the battle between the two beasts were all related to this place.
The warriors doing business or watching the excitement knew about it, and eventually the place quickly became lively.
Due to the special location of this place, it borders Dongzhou, the Northeastern Hegemony Territory of Middle-earth China, the Death Mountains and the Great Desert. Also, the chaos in Dongzhou has attracted people, so with the promotion of many merchants, this place has grown and prospered rapidly.
, it is now a large city covering an area of nearly ten miles.
But right in the center of such a city, there is a dilapidated village and a cemetery, surrounded by high walls and guarded by soldiers called the Free Army, making them a restricted area.
Zhang Baoer landed on the cemetery and put down the prepared sacrifices. Under the surprised eyes of Gao Hui and He Qiuyu, he pulled Chenqing and knelt down in front of a large tomb.
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Ha also seemed to have remembered something and kept calling towards the big tomb.
After three ringings, Zhang Baoer, with misty eyes, pointed to the names on the tombstone and said to Chen Qing:
"They are all relatives of the adoptive father and the adoptive mother. That is Cai'er's father, that is Cai'er's mother, that is the old chief, that is Hulu Shiba, that is Red Wolf..."
"...There are many people whose names my adoptive father doesn't know. Qing'er, do you know how they died?"
Chen Qing did not answer, Zhang Baoer smiled sadly and said:
"They died at the claws or mouth of a mountain wolf. You guessed it right, a mountain wolf that is not even a spiritual beast... At that time, the adoptive father was still very weak, and the old chief and the others even wanted to
The one who let his adoptive father escape and was willing to die..."
"...Although they have taken revenge, Qing'er, they are already dead and cannot be resurrected..."
Having said this, Zhang Baoer quietly looked at the inscriptions on the tombstone and stopped talking, while Chen Qing chanted a name and kowtowed. Gao Hui and He Qiuyu behind him were also deeply touched and couldn't help but look sad - who has no personality?
What about the story? When a monk lives in the world, separation between life and death is the most normal thing, but it is also the most heartbreaking thing.
Suddenly, Chen Qing raised her head, looked at Zhang Baoer with tears in her eyes and said:
"Father! The child must avenge his parents!"
"Um!"
Zhang Baoer smiled and nodded, then wiped the corners of his eyes, picked up Xiaoha and stood up.
Turning around, I saw that Miao Yuan, who had white hair on his temples, had already led a group of people to stand in the distance and look at him quietly. There were almost no old people among them, but mostly young people and children.
After stopping them from kneeling and saluting, Zhang Baoer walked over and said to Chen Qing:
"When you were not born, the Three Kingdoms plotted to murder your adoptive father. Your adoptive father and Erha were seriously injured and fled. Those evil people carried out a massacre here frantically. They were the only ones who survived... Your adoptive father met Miao Yuan. He was originally
He is an unsuccessful general among the Three Kings. His foster father and Erha defeated his army and fooled the villain of the Wanbao Pavilion Shan family who commanded the army... Qing'er, do you know why Miao Yuan is here?"
"have no idea……"
"Because Miao Yuan is a good person, and the facts have proved that the adoptive father was not wrong about the person. You see... those children in the past have grown up now, and some even have children of their own, and the city was built by him.
He was worried about it. After so many years, his cultivation is still empty among the gods..."
"My lord has said it..."
Miao Yuan bowed and saluted with tears in his eyes. Zhang Baoer's judgment on him was undoubtedly a great honor.
Zhang Baoer helped him up, shook his head and said with a smile:
"You can't become a fat man with just one bite. If you don't concentrate on your cultivation, you will die of old age one day. Who will worry about this city?"
"Miao Yuan knows his mistake!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The group of people walked out while chatting about home affairs. After passing through the gate of Tuya, the little white fox, they saw Uncle Fu and Mingze who were stationed here.
Both parties saluted, and Zhang Baoer introduced:
"Qing'er, this is Mingze, and this is Uncle Fu, both of them are disobedient old stubborns!"
"Hello Uncle Mingze! Hello Grandpa Fu!"
"Hello, young master!"
"Hello, young master! Haha... Your Excellency is so complimentary!"
Uncle Fu was smiling all over his face. Zhang Baoer had asked him and Mingze to retreat as well, but in order to protect this prosperous city, he, who was already a saint, and Mingze, who had developed magical powers, chose to stay despite their orders.
After returning the military salute to those who stood at their posts, the group continued to move forward.
"Uncle Fu, is the old lady okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master, I'm very kind! I heard that I fell in love with cooking some time ago, and I'm even clamoring to become my teacher, Miss Shuang'er!"
"Hahaha...really?!"
"Hey, it's true."
…
Gao Hui and He Qiuyu, who were slightly behind, couldn't help but look at each other and said via voice:
"There are actually saints as servants, and it seems like this is just the tip of the iceberg... This Master Zhang is not simple!"
"No wonder Emperor Leng treats him... This person doesn't seem to be a simple person! Haha, senior brother, we are very lucky!"
"Indeed, not to mention anything else, just serve that little ancestor well, and when he soars into the sky one day... haha."
After having lunch in the city, four people and one beast came to the Hulu tribe. The Hulu tribe was still the same as it was after it was destroyed, but it was more dilapidated. Like Shen'en City, there were also people stationed here.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Baoer smiled and looked at the Dzogchen sergeant of Shenfu who was leading twenty people, pointed at his chest that was straight but trembling with excitement and said with a smile:
"Qing'er, his name is Han Dao! When my adoptive father was outside Sunset City... beside the ruins of Tianyin City now, in order to find someone with a lot of money to establish trust, Han Dao was the first to stand up. Haha, he was once a green seedling.
, now it has grown into a tree that reaches the sky..."
Han Dao is the guy who broke a big rock with one punch and obtained two hundred thousand spirit stones. He originally joined the Tianyin Sect through hard work, and was then selected into the Hidden Sect. Because Zhang Baoer ordered the Hidden Sect to hide in hiding some time ago, he came
After arriving at Shen'en City, he received a military post. After hearing Zhang Baoer's story, he was ordered to garrison here.
After Chen Qing met him as brothers, Zhang Baoer patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Is your father okay?"
Han Dao nodded and smiled bitterly:
"He is a very kind old man. He returned to his hometown and married an older girl. He said he would give birth to some brothers for me."
Zhang Baoer laughed, and a group of people also laughed. Even Gao Hui and He Qiuyu couldn't help laughing.
However, the two of them stopped smiling immediately, because Zhang Baoer walked in, pointed at a large boulder and said to Chen Qing:
"When the adoptive father and Xiao Ha picked up a dead ferocious beast tiger tapir in the river, they met the old chief and the others, and they misunderstood that the tiger tapir was killed by the adoptive father. The adoptive father gave the animal heart, and the old chief and the others
Welcoming the foster father and Xiao Ha here, that night
We peel skin and cut meat here, but the tools used are too crude. Everyone uses bone knives, your eighteenth uncle's big axe, stone axes, and even stones. Women gather around to pick up the splattered meat, even the ones as big as rice grains.
Don’t let go at all…”
Then, he pointed to the thing that sealed the door of the 'temple' and was engraved with 'Hulu's Tomb, Ah Gulu Li' and said:
"It was originally a big stone pot, and the meat was cooked in it... Well, life was difficult, because the oil and water in the meat would drip when burned, so a starving child who tried to roast a small piece of meat was beaten by an adult.
After a meal, the small piece of meat was taken away and put into the pot..."
Chen Qing's eyes were filled with mist. He didn't expect that the foster father in front of him who could shake up the world would actually have such a story...
Gao Hui and He Qiuyu also had mixed feelings. Although their growth experiences were bumpy, they were far less "low" than Zhang Baoer. For a moment, they couldn't help but secretly sigh, "Perhaps it was this kind of suffering that created his glory today."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Baoer turned around and looked into Chen Qing's eyes:
"Qing'er, do you know why your adoptive father told you this?"
Chen Qing originally wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, she chose to shake her head.
Zhang Baoer pointed to the old tree with lush branches and leaves on the side and said with a smile:
"It is originally a small seed. After it sprouts and grows out, it needs to use its fragile roots to break through the hard soil and stones..."
Hearing this, Gao Hui and He Qiuyu were shocked physically and mentally for some unknown reason. Their faces were horrified, and their eyes looked hungrily into his eyes - they vaguely detected a charm in him, which they were most familiar with.
Something: Enlightenment and Tao!
"Only by constantly spreading and grasping, can we continue to grow upward, until one day we suddenly become a big tree... What my adoptive father told you is because he hopes you will remember that people are like trees. If you want to grow higher, you must
You need a deeper foundation. If you always hide under the shadow of me, your Aunt Xi and Master Wuhua, you will never be able to stand upright! You have talent, but it is just talent. Talent
It is the cheapest and most insignificant thing, just like the seeds on the ground. Although there are different types, not every seed of a big tree will grow taller than the grass! So you hand over the storage bracelet now and go on the road alone.
You have to forage for food in the mountains to survive. If you are not in danger of death, the two seniors who are secretly following you will not help you, Chenqing! Walk back to the imperial capital step by step on your own ability!"
"Sir, does this mean..."
"Yes! Foster father!"
The two immortal masters were shocked, but Chen Qing resolutely took off his storage bracelet. Not only that, he also took off the self-defense clothing given to him by Immortal King Wuhua and handed it over.
Zhang Baoer glanced at the contents and handed them to Gao Hui:
"Brother Gao, don't worry, there are... a dozen talismans inside. You can use them in case of emergency."
