Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

At the beginning of Haishi, before everything happened in Zhaoyang County

On a trail ten miles north of the official road in the east of the city, three young figures were walking through the dense forest. The first two were a man and a woman. Their cultivation was obviously higher. They were holding the middle man forward together.

On the way.

"Senior brother, this is my first time walking on a trail. Will there be any ghosts causing trouble?"

Tian Honglu looked back at the dense jungle, her tone slightly filled with fear.

"I don't know. I only walked through the trail once when I went to Dongyang County five years ago. That time, Elder Lu led the team. There were more than 40 people in our party. As a result, a fox demon appeared on the road and we lost our lives.

It took more than ten people to escape!"

Tian Honglu was immediately shocked and said: "Elder Lu is a cultivator in the evil gathering stage, but he can't fight an ordinary fox demon?"

Duan Zhengqi nodded, mentioning this memory, a trace of fear suddenly appeared on his face.

He only started to cultivate at the seventh level five years ago. The more than ten people who died that time were considered his senior brothers. Thinking of the weirdness of the fox demon, he turned his head and glanced at the dense jungle. His back, which was already soaked, felt...

A cold sweat broke out.

The Dynasty of Dayu fell, and the Demon Hunting Department was completely paralyzed. The demons in this world have lost their restraints since then. In addition, the thirteen states in the world have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. From time to time, there will be great chaos in the world, and evil spirits breed in various places.

There are even more monsters.

Although these monsters have weird methods and extraordinary strength, there are some places they dare not go to, such as cities where a large population gathers, or the official roads built using the flesh and blood of peerless monsters during the Dayu Dynasty!

Not to mention those demons who have been cultivating for hundreds or even thousands of years and become spirits. Even ordinary ghosts and evil spirits can definitely defeat ordinary warriors in their methods.

Only warriors above the Gathering Evil stage, with blood evil in their bodies, can deter ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. Therefore, there is a folk saying that warriors below the Gathering Evil stage will never take the narrow path.

And the three of them, one with a tenth level and the other with a nineth level, plus a fifth-level oil bottle, actually dared to walk on the trail.

If this were told to outsiders, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Duan Zhengqi glanced at Hou Yuduan next to him, and his face suddenly showed a sense of absurdity. No matter what he thought about today, he felt evil.

He and his junior sister have been locked up next door to Hou Yuduan's residence. He also knew that Tian Honglu had a good relationship with Hou Yuduan during this period, but after all, he was a person with some experience and was not as simple as his junior sister.

From the beginning, he had kept a close eye on Hou Yuduan, who seemed to be humble and polite, even though the other party had a good influence on him several times.

But this man was, after all, the younger brother of Hou Yuxiao, the handsome man with a thousand faces. After all, he was still a member of the devil's path. If he said that this man had no intention of approaching his junior sister, then he would never believe it.

But the facts proved that Hou Yuduan really had no intention. Not only did he not have any intention, he often brought him healing medicine, told him the news from the outside, and even promised to tell his eldest brother Hou Yuxiao to let them go.

Repeatedly, Duan Zhengqi began to waver.

It was true that a good man emerged from the den of robbers. This Hou Yuduan was really different from the four brothers and sisters above him.

If he was just wavering before, then after tonight, he really admitted that Hou Yuduan was really not a bad person.

Tonight at Xu hour, Hou Yuduan ran directly to the wing of the two of them, detoxified him and his junior sister Tian Honglu, and told them that after Xu hour tonight, the five members of the Hou family and his brothers would not be around, so they should run away quickly.

That's right, Hou Yuduan actually... let them go directly!

When Duan Zhengqi walked out of the gate of Hou Mansion and found that there was really no one there, Duan Zhengqi was still confused.

Junior sister Tian Honglu looked happy and said that Hou Yuduan did not break his promise. She also told him proudly, "Senior brother, look, I said Hou Yuduan will definitely let us go. He is different from those bastard brothers. He is a good person."

…

In the end, Duan Zhengqi had no choice but to accept what his junior sister said. He really believed that Hou Yuduan was the one who believed him. It was no good if he didn't believe it. They were now almost out of Yongzhou and arriving in Xuzhou.

Even if Hou Yuduan was up to no good, he wouldn't be able to do it to this extent!

This Brother Hou is really a good man!

Duan Zhengqi thought so in his heart, and his eyes looking at Hou Yuduan became softer.

Tian Honglu was concentrating on dragging Hou Yuduan in the middle with her senior brother. Suddenly she felt a little hard on her hands. She turned her head and found that Hou Yuduan was looking at her with an innocent face. When she looked down again, she burst into laughter.

It turned out that Hou Yuduan, who was sandwiched between the two of them, couldn't keep up with his speed at all. His legs were trying hard and he didn't touch the ground at all. The two of them dragged him along...

"I asked you why the speed is so slow. You are such a sluggish person, you are actually lazy in walking!"

Hou Yuduan's face turned red and he explained helplessly: "It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that you two are too fast and I can't keep up."

"Okay, junior sister, Brother Hou's cultivation is a little bit inferior, which is reasonable. Let's hurry up. We are only about five miles away from the boundary of Yongzhou. It's lucky that we didn't run into evil spirits along the way. Don't worry about the last few miles.

There’s something wrong with the road!”

"Okay, okay, let's go on our way. It will be terrible if we encounter evil spirits!"

After Tian Honglu finished speaking, she curled her lips. She found that after coming out of the Hou Mansion, her senior brother never said anything about Hou Yuduan harboring evil intentions.

In the past, it was her senior brother who spoke ill of Hou Yuduan and she defended him, but now it was her who spoke ill of Hou Yuduan and Duan Zhengqi defended him.

At this time, Hou Yuduan, who was being held by two people, spoke. He heard that both of them were afraid of evil spirits, and seemed to disagree. He said, "It's just a shameful evil spirit. Why do you two need to be so afraid? Why don't we take our time?"

Let’s hurry up!”

Tian Honglu laughed again at the side. This kid was obviously tired from the journey, yet he had to make such a high-sounding excuse.

"You have only reached the fifth level of cultivation, but you are so loud. If you really encounter those evil spirits, you will definitely be the first to run away!"

Hou Yuduan suddenly said seriously: "A gentleman maintains his integrity and cultivates his own righteousness. Although there are hundreds of evil spirits, it is difficult to avoid them. This has nothing to do with cultivation. If you are righteous, let alone evil spirits or demons, I am not afraid..."

"Hahahaha, go, go, go, scholars will brag!"

Seeing Tian Honglu laughing happily, Hou Yuduan showed a look of helplessness on his face and could only follow the two of them and run wildly.

After walking for another five miles or so, they finally saw the boundary monument between the two places. Duan Zheng, Qi Tian and Honglu both breathed a sigh of relief. They let go of Hou Yuduan and looked back at the dense forest they had walked through, looking very happy.

"After seeing you for a long journey, we must say goodbye eventually. Senior Brother Duan, Miss Tian, ​​and Hou will take their leave first. We will see you again in the future!"

"You're crazy. How can you go back without us? No, no, no. If you want to go back, at least we have to send you to the official road!"

Fifty miles away from the junction of Xuzhou and Yongzhou, there are no officials. Hou Yuduan, a weakling with a fifth-level cultivation, should he be allowed to go back through the dense forest alone?

Tian Honglu immediately exclaimed, stepped forward and grabbed Hou Yuduan, fearing that he would really escape by himself and risk his life.

"Actually, to be honest with you two, my eldest brother has arranged for people to wait for me. As soon as I send a signal, they will come to me."

Hou Yuduan made up a lie casually, looked at the two people's obviously unbelieving expressions, paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some decision.

"Now that things have happened, Yu Duan will tell the truth. There is no one in my Marquis Mansion tonight at Xu Shi, because the two masters, Shanyue Sword Sect, are attacking Zhaoyang County at the moment!"

…………

Duan Zhengqi and Tian Honglu's expressions suddenly changed. They raised their heads and looked directly at Hou Yuduan, their faces full of disbelief.

"You two don't believe it?"

Hou Yuduan sighed slightly, and suddenly asked: "Brother Duan, Miss Tian, ​​have you ever thought about why you can come across the state so smoothly? Even after coming across the state, how can you be so easily beaten by my brother?"

Catch it!"

This was like a sentence of soul torture, which suddenly brought the minds of Tian Honglu and Duan Zhengqi to the moment when they just walked out of Tianling County half a month ago...

"The Shanyue Sword Sect is the only third-rate force in Tianling County. It is expected that it knows the whole county well, not to mention that Miss Tian is the sect leader's direct daughter. If no one cares if Brother Duan can leave Xuzhou, I still believe it, but Miss Tian

…”

As if he was afraid that the two of them would not understand, Hou Yuduan gradually named his words, and as he continued to talk, the faces of the two of them became more and more ugly.

"Although I don't know the specific situation, I can be sure that someone must have deliberately brought Miss Tian to Yongzhou. Judging from the actions of your lord Tian Linong and his disciples to attack Zhaoyang County tonight, this person obviously wanted to find a suitable excuse.

, to instigate a war between the two states, he would take advantage of Miss Tian.

And my brother must have seen this, so he deliberately guided me at the last moment tonight to let the two of you go. I hope that the two of you will not bear any grudge against Yu Duan's brother in the future. After all, he is the one who lets you go tonight, not me.

!”

When the two of them heard this, their faces turned pale, especially Tian Honglu's expression changed drastically, with a hint of disbelief in her pupils, and something seemed to be collapsing in her heart.

"Before the battle between good and evil in Zhaoyang County ends, I predict that there will be someone waiting for you two at the Xuzhou border, so Yu Duan advises you to be careful on your way back!"

Hou Yuduan took a deep look at the two people who were still deep in thought, said the last two words of caution, and headed back the way he came.

Tian Honglu and Duan Zhengqi meditated on the spot for nearly a quarter of an hour.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Duan Zhengqi took the lead to sort out the thoughts in his mind. His face suddenly turned livid. When he raised his head, he found that Tian Honglu's expression had fallen into a trance.

"Junior sister, that's just their one-sided statement. Regardless of whether it's true or false when he says that the sect is attacking Zhaoyang, even if someone is really using us, it doesn't necessarily mean..."

Duan Zhengqi also joined the sect since he was a child. He was from an ordinary background and had very ordinary relationships with other people. Only his junior sister Tian Honglu did not dislike his origin and was willing to play with him. In addition, she often took care of him financially, so she was very interested in him.

Duan Zhengqi loved this junior sister from the bottom of his heart.

He has more experience than Tian Honglu. Tian Honglu can hear what Hou Yuduan's words mean. How can he not hear it? So at Tian Honglu's reaction at this moment, he can only comfort but cannot say anything.

Tian Honglu woke up from her trance, raised her head and looked at Duan Zhengqi, showed a forced smile, and whispered: "Brother, I want to go back and take a look first!"

Duan Zhengqi felt a slight shiver in his heart. Thinking of Hou Yuduan's words just now, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the look of hope in Tian Honglu's eyes, he still couldn't refuse.

"Okay, senior brother will accompany you back!"
