Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine: From the God of Iron (Part 2)
(Please vote for me, seventh update)
----------
Chu Lang was overjoyed to hear that the old man came from this god, Tieyuan.
Ever since Wen Ren did not hope to solve the mystery of Iron Bone for Chu Lang, Chu Lang even wanted to solve the mystery of his own life experience.
Wenren Buwang speculated that Chu Lang's parents were from Shen Tieyuan, so Chu Lang ordered people to find out where Shen Tieyuan was. Only by finding Shen Tieyuan can the mystery of his life experience be completely solved.
However, Shentetsuhara is an unknown place and very few people know about it. Therefore, we have never found out about it.
Chu Lang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Old man, please put on your clothes and let's talk in another place. I have something important to ask you."
Chu Lang generously gave so much money, and the old man couldn't believe it.
He hurriedly said: "Just in time, I have to go back to see my granddaughter. If the young master doesn't mind the shabby place we live in, you can go back with me. I will tell you everything I know."
The old man came from Shentieyuan, the same hometown as Chu Lang's parents, which gave Chu Lang an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Chu Lang saw that the old man's clothes were in tatters, so he said to the old man: "Wait for me here for a while."
Chu Lang went to buy some wine and meat, as well as two pairs of cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.
When Chu Lang came back, the old man put on his clothes and packed his things. Chu Lang gave the pack of cotton-padded clothes to the old man, and he said: "It is extremely cold in the middle of winter, so you and your granddaughter should also have cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold."
Chu Lang first gave him silver, and now he gave him clothes, which made the old man burst into tears of gratitude.
The old man led Chu Lang to a dilapidated and abandoned house nearby.
A teenage girl huddled in the east corner. She was wrapped in a patched quilt and her body was trembling.
The girl's face was red and her eyes were lifeless. Chu Lang could tell that she had a fever.
Chu Lang took out a bowl of soup and a piece of beef from the food bucket.
The soup and meat were still steaming, which surprised the old man.
Now that Chu Lang possesses the two powers of ice and fire, Chu Lang is neither afraid of the cold nor the flames. He carries the food bucket and keeps the temperature of the food in the bucket with his scorching internal power.
Chu Lang said to the girl: "Drink some soup and eat some meat while it's hot, so that you will have strength."
The girl looked at Chu Lang with some hesitation.
The old man said: "Feng'er, we met a good person today. You should eat it while it's hot."
The girl quickly thanked Chu Lang, then took the hot soup and meat and started eating and drinking.
Chu Lang took out the wine and meat and put them on the ground. He sat on the ground. The old man also sat down in front of Chu Lang.
Chu Lang poured two glasses of wine and handed one to the old man.
The old man was so flattered that he hurriedly took the wine with both hands.
Chu Lang said: "To be honest with you, my bones are also very hard."
The old man asked in surprise: "Is the young master from Shen Tieyuan?"
Chu Lang was honest and fair: "To be honest with my husband, my life experience is a mystery, so I have been exploring my life experience. This iron bone has become an important clue. An expert pointed out to me that my parents may be from Shentieyuan."
Only then did the old man understand the whole story.
The old man said excitedly: "I recognize all the people in Shentieyuan. If your parents are really from Shentieyuan, then I must know them. May I ask your father's name?"
Chu Lang didn't know his parents' names, so he picked up the wine and took a sip.
"I don't know the names of my parents either. So, father-in-law, please tell me about this god Tieyuan first. Let's peel off the cocoons and slowly find out. If we can find out clearly, I will thank you again."
The old man also picked up the wine and drank it. He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his hand and began to tell Chu Lang.
The old man told Chu Lang that Shentieyuan is located in Yezhou, the westernmost part of Dayu. Shentieyuan is in a remote location, surrounded by mountains, and has a flat area in the middle. There are more than 20 families living in this area with a population of more than 100.
Due to the harsh environment and the mountains surrounding them like a huge cage, it was very troublesome for them to go out into the mountains. They had to walk for several days to cross the mountains.
It is precisely because of the steep mountains on all sides that Kami Tetsuwon has become a quiet place that is not disturbed by the outside world.
Although the land is barren, the residents are not disturbed by the outside world and can live peacefully from sunrise to sunset.
Therefore, most people in Kami Tetsuhara are content with the status quo and do not yearn for the outside world. After all, the war is in chaos, and it is a blessing to be able to save one's life and fill one's stomach.
However, there are a few people who don't want to live in a "cage" all their lives, so they cross the mountains to explore the outside world.
Chu Lang listened to the old man's story and filled the old man's glass with wine.
Chu Lang said: "Old man, is there anything special about Shen Tieyuan?"
The old man took a sip of wine and continued: "It's really strange. The surrounding mountains are bare and there are almost no trees, flowers or grass. Only a kind of ugly tree called Haloxylon ammodendron can survive, but there are very few. The ugly tree still bears fruit. The tree
Although it is ugly, the fruit is still delicious. When we were children, we often looked for the strange Haloxylon ammodendron in the mountains and picked fruits to eat... Some crops can grow in the flat place where we live, but the harvest is very small every year. I heard from my father that there are many crops around.
The mountains are full of all kinds of iron and maybe gold, so no trees can grow..."
After listening to the old man's story, Chu Lang had a preliminary understanding of Shen Tieyuan.
Yezhou is close to Beihu, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Shentieyuan is surrounded by mountains and looks like a paradise. No wonder it is rarely known to people.
Chu Lang asked: "Are all people in Shentieyuan born with strong bones?"
The old man said: "Yes, anyone born and raised in Shentieyuan is born with hard bones. Of course, everyone's bone hardness is also different. Some are weaker than me, and some are stronger than me. But in general, they are all the same.
hard."
Chu Lang said: "Shentieyuan is surrounded by natural barriers and is so isolated from the outside world. Why would a plague come in and force your family to flee?"
The old man sighed, his expression full of sentimentality, and he said: "Master, the hometown I mentioned in front of the temple did not actually refer to the god Tieyuan. I don't dare to mention Tieyuan easily. I refer to my second hometown. Master, I am right
I am kind, and I will not hide it from the young master. I took my son and fled Shentieyuan more than 20 years ago."
Escaped from Kami Tetsuhara?
Chu Lang looked at the old man and said, "More than twenty years ago?"
The old man said: "Twenty-four years."
Chu Lang was moved after hearing this. Twenty-four years ago, the old man escaped from Shentieyuan, and he would soon be twenty-three years old. There was a year difference between the old man's escape time and his age. If counted from the time when his mother was pregnant with him,
, exactly twenty-four years, which coincides with the time when the old man escaped from Shentieyuan.
What is going on here?!
The mystery of Chu Lang’s life experience is also beginning to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
Chu Lang poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and his eyes began to turn red. Chu Lang said: "Old man, what happened that made you and your son escape Shentieyuan?"
The old man seemed a little worried, recalling the past made him both painful and uneasy.
After all these years, the old man is still worried that those terrible people will find him.
Chu Lang could see that the old man was worried, so he said: "Don't worry, I will never spread what you said to me today."
The old man then lowered his voice and said: "Twenty-four years ago, a group of mysterious people came to Shentieyuan. These people were all wearing black robes and ghost masks on their faces. They were very scary... Some young people in the village wanted to resist, but
We couldn't beat those people at all. These ghost-faced men killed a few people in public, and we no longer dared to resist. Then they separated men and women into separate cells, and then began to select the toughest people. After several days of screening, they finally selected Cheorwon Shang.
The person with the hardest bones.”
Hearing this, Chu Lang's mood became more and more intense. He stared at the old man and said, "Who is it?!"
