Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

After hearing the other party's question, Jiang Hao smiled calmly and said:

"You are joking. I started chopping firewood when I was four or five years old. It was very difficult for me because I was weak at that time."

Right in this place, in this location.

Jiang Hao placed the hatchet on the firewood, weighed it twice, and then pressed it harder to fix the position.

Immediately, with two heavy blows, the firewood was split.

"Four or five years old?" the old man exclaimed:

"Can't you hold a knife steady?"

"It was quite difficult at that time." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

More than ten years later, he will lament what happened back then, but he doesn't have any hatred.

Except for remembering that his stepmother scolded him, he didn't even remember that the other person was mean to him.

Not only that, he has almost forgotten what his stepmother looks like.

"It seems that you were born in poverty." The old man couldn't believe it.

Jiang Hao felt like he was back when he was a child while chopping firewood.

It's a pity that I don't remember that much.

As a cultivator, his memory should be very good, but he had not practiced before leaving.

It also took a lot of time to improve later.

As we grow older, things from the past become increasingly blurred and forgotten.

"Are you here to inquire about the Jiang family?" The old man looked at Jiang Hao and asked curiously:

"What's your relationship with them?"

Hear the words.

Jiang Hao paused and looked at the old man in front of him.

Although he is a bit old, he is energetic and has a certain aura about him.

He should have been a prestigious person when he was young.

After hesitating for a moment, he said truthfully:

"Their son."

"Son?" The old man was a little shocked:

"It shouldn't be. When I bought the house from him, I didn't hear that he had a son."

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded and said relaxedly:

"I was sold away when I was five years old. Today I happened to return to Luocheng and wanted to see them."

The old man looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, opened his mouth but still couldn't speak.

Jiang Hao chopped some more firewood, and then the old man said:

"When did you leave?"

"Seventeen years ago." Jiang Hao replied.

"I bought this house sixteen years ago." The old man thought for a moment and continued:

"I heard they are moving to another place."

A year after I was sold? Are you worried that if I enter the Demon Sect and survive, I will come back to take revenge? Jiang Hao felt bitter in his heart.

I am not like this.

Even if life in Tianyin Sect is not easy, it will not be like this.

"Did they say where to move?" Jiang Hao asked.

"No." The old man shook his head and said:

"But it's just some surrounding towns. If you want to see them, you can look around."

Jiang Hao lowered his eyebrows and did not respond.

I came out with Hong Yuye this time, so it was impossible to walk in the surrounding towns.

I'm lucky enough to be here.

He was in the Demon Sect and had offended many powerful enemies.

Going out safely is a luxury. Now no one knows that he has relatives in the world.

It wouldn't be good if he was discovered.

This time I am not worried because Hong Yuye is so powerful that she can shield against all dangers.

"I remember there was a famine seventeen years ago, right? The whole city was very sad at that time." The old man added.

"Well, I have some impressions." Jiang Hao nodded.

Looking at Jiang Hao, the old man knew to some extent how the other party felt, and asked:

"Do you hate them?"

"No, I'm just a little resentful." Jiang Hao replied softly.

"That's really rare. If you change someone else, you'd hate it to death." The old man said with a smile.

Jiang Hao didn't say much, just quietly chopping firewood.

After a long time he finished chopping the wood.

According to the past, he could find a place to eat.

It's a relaxing moment.

"I'm leaving." Jiang Hao stood up and said politely.

"Let me see you off." The old man stood up and saw Jiang Hao out.

Along the way, Jiang Hao kept reminiscing.

Recalling vague memories.

He could find familiarity in many places, but he couldn't remember the specific ones.

Finally, he took a step out of the door, feeling inexplicably lost for a moment.

Jiang Hao bowed to the two elders and strode away.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of the door closing behind him.

Only then did he stop and look back at the door behind him.

This was a somewhat old house that seemed to have witnessed the vicissitudes of time. For a moment, he felt like he was back seventeen years ago.

That year he looked back like this, and what he saw was a closed door.

At that time, he didn't feel that his family would be away, but now...

When I turn around, there is no home anymore.

Will not come back again.

It has nothing to do with him here.

Somewhat reluctant to let go, a little disappointed in my heart, with nowhere to put it. ..

Finally, Jiang Hao bowed and bowed. This bow was a farewell.

After getting up, he turned and left.

Have you let it go?

No.

But it also settled one thing.

The past can be recalled, but the road is still ahead.

At this moment, Jiang Hao felt as if light was blooming in his heart, and the power in his body was surging.

The state of mind is sublimated and the cultivation level is greatly increased.

But in the blink of an eye, he was not far away from breaking through the soul.

In just half an hour, it was better than half a year in the elixir garden to train his mind.

He somewhat understood that the change in his mood was not about loneliness.

But a kind of resonance, indifferent and transparent.

Only when you pick it up can you put it down.

Only by possessing can you understand.

Only by losing can you understand.

Leaving the residential area, Jiang Hao returned to the avenue again.

People were coming and going on the street, and there were many cries.

Just now, my mind was bright and clear, as if I was isolated from the world, and now it is like entering the world for the first time.

"It's such an amazing feeling."

After laughing at himself, Jiang Hao planned to go back to find Hong Yuye.

Passing by a tea set shop, he suddenly stopped.

After thinking about it carefully, the tea set in the inn seems to be very ordinary, and I don’t know how many people have used it.

Can Hongyuye be used?

After hesitating, he walked into the tea set shop.

"What kind of tea set does the guest want?" the shopkeeper asked immediately.

Jiang Hao looked around and finally saw the light red tea set.

The color is transparent and not so conspicuous, the workmanship is as fine as art, and the patterns are not many but very suitable.

"How much?" he asked, pointing to the tea set.

Fifteen taels.

Jiang Hao bought this tea set after receiving various compliments from the other party.

On the way back, he smelled a fresh fragrance.

It's the taste of tea.

Turning around, I saw a very ordinary pastry shop.

I also wanted to eat here when I was a kid, but I never could.

After some hesitation, he bought some.

It’s a childhood dream come true.

Holding the things, not long after Jiang Hao left, he suddenly looked towards the side alley, and then something flew over.

It's a stone.

Jiang Hao controlled the ball from the air and caught it.

Make sure there is no danger before putting it in your hand and looking at it carefully.

After feeling something was wrong but finding nothing, he chose to activate his magical powers.

"Appraisal."

[Code language: The stone used by Daqian Shenzong to transmit messages. Crush it and put it in water to see the content. 】

"Great Thousand Divine Sect?"

Jiang Hao was a little confused.

Why did Daqian Shenzong contact him?

How did he get targeted?

Confused, Jiang Hao returned to the inn.

Maybe you can ask Hongyuye.

"Help me carry a basin of water to Room 1 on Yunshang."

After giving instructions to the waiter at the inn, Jiang Hao immediately came to the door of Hong Yuye's room.

At this time, the door opens automatically.

Jiang Hao saw Hong Yuye sitting in front of the window looking at him, half-smiling but not smiling:

"I thought you escaped."
