Strange mountains and rivers

When Chen Huaisheng and Ou Wan'er left the Tiyunkeng, they did not get a response from the cunning rabbit girl.

It can be seen that this person is still very suspicious. Even though Chen Huaisheng's advice made her understand the path she should take in the future, she still declined Chen Huaisheng's invitation.

Chen Huaisheng did not care. It was reasonable for this kind of alien cultivator to be wary and suspicious of human cultivators. It was rare for someone like Xiong Zhuang to gradually become a close friend after getting to know him.

For example, it took many interactions like Bi Jiao Yuanjun, and then seeing Xiong Zhuang's example, to gradually let go of their guard and become friends. This was considered quite rare.

It was impossible that because of his close relationship with Xiong Zhuang, the other party would open up to him.

The cunning rabbit girl did not say whether she would stay in the Tiyunkeng or go somewhere else, nor did she say whether she would return to Hebei to come to Dahuai Mountain.

Chen Huaisheng did not ask much. If she was willing to come, she could come. If she did not come, it would not affect her.

He did his best to welcome the other party to Dahuai Mountain as a guest. That was enough.

After this trip, in addition to getting the Xuanlei Godwood, he also got more than 30 volumes of sutras from Mi Shaohua.

He got nothing in the Seven Stars Pit, but Chen Huaisheng still planned to go there on the way back. The Seven-wire Silver-bearded Shrimp was too tempting. Even if there were some risks, Chen Huaisheng felt that he had to give it a try.

At the Tiyun Pit and Yunling Road, Chen Huaisheng and Ou Wan'er did not hesitate on the way back. After a trip, they could not return empty-handed. At least they had to harvest as many spiritual plants as possible.

Fortunately, almost no one dared to set foot in this area, and the cultivators who were really above the foundation building level were unwilling to take huge risks just to pick spiritual plants. Relying on the fact that the cunning rabbit girl was in the pit and was not afraid of the monsters, Chen Huaisheng and Ou Wan'er picked and harvested a lot, which made the cunning rabbit girl "eye-opening".

After coming out of the Wild Bee Valley, Chen Huaisheng finally decided to go back to Yuanbao Village.

The last time, I went back with Xuan Chimei, but I passed by in a hurry and hardly stayed for a long time. My feelings for Yuanbao Village seemed to fade away with Chen Luosheng's departure.

There is really not much to miss. Whether it is the Chen family or the Yin family, the rise and fall of Yuanbao Village is difficult to arouse Chen Huaisheng's interest now.

It's just that this kind of situation of passing by the door without entering happened to me, which still feels awkward, so after hesitating for a while, Chen Huaisheng still feels that he should go.

Although he didn't go back, the Xuan family that Xuan Chimei settled in Yiyang Prefecture has always been in contact with Heimu Cliff, and the news from the letters from the Xuan family can more or less understand the situation in Liao County and even Yuanbao Village.

In the monster tide last winter, the entire Yi County, including Yiyang Prefecture, was not spared. Yuanbao Village, Heimu Cliff, Luo Hamburger, and Fengtongling were all attacked by monsters.

Both the Chen and Yin families lost a lot of manpower in Yuanbao Village. Chen Chongyuan and Yin Heng should have died in the battle. Chen Shangxiong should have taken over the village affairs in Yuanbao Village now.

Walking along the long stream, you can see the sentry tower of Yuanbao Village from afar, and Chen Huaisheng sighed in his heart.

This sentry tower may be useful against first-level monsters, but it is not very useful against second-level monsters.

Of course, Yuanbao Village is just a few cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining and some Dao Seed characters. The concentration of spiritual energy is not worthy of the third-level monsters, and even the second-level monsters may not be able to look at it.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's confused look, Ou Wan'er also laughed: "Why, is Senior Brother also a little timid?"

Ou Wan'er's way of addressing Chen Huaisheng has changed several times, from the initial "you" to the later "Mr.", but Chen Huaisheng felt that addressing Mr. was too awkward, so it finally became "Senior Brother".

Chen Huaisheng was too lazy to care about where this address came from.

Ou Wan'er is more than 20 years older than him, but that's based on her original body.

But her body was destroyed long ago, which is equivalent to her having died once. Her new spirit body only has a life span of one month. If you calculate it this way, it's not too much to call Chen Huaisheng her second parent.     So there's no way to calculate it, just let Ou Wan'er do it herself.

"Not really. I came back the year before last, but I don't feel much emotion anymore. I was surprised..." Chen Huaisheng's tone was a little indifferent and confused, "Maybe it has something to do with me leaving home too early. In addition, my parents passed away too early, and my close relatives and friends are no longer in the village..."

Ou Wan'er hesitated for a moment, "So do you want to go back, brother? Otherwise, let's go directly to Dingling and then return north?"

Chen Huaisheng shook his head, "We've already reached the door, so why not go in? Let's go in and take a look and ask about the situation. No matter what, this is my hometown where I have lived for more than ten years."

There were still guards on the sentry tower. When they saw Chen Huaisheng and the other two swaggering over, they immediately became alert and issued a warning.

Soon, someone from the village rushed over. When Chen Huaisheng and the other two walked under the sentry tower, several people had already come to greet them.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng and the other person, one of them immediately exclaimed: "Brother Huaisheng?!"

Chen Huaisheng glanced at the other person's young face. He was about twelve or thirteen years old. He was born with the innate Dao seed, which was rare. When he left, he was probably only five or six years old. It is estimated that he didn't even have the Dao bone at that time. He must be a member of the Chen family.

"You know me, which branch are you from?" Chen Huaisheng said calmly.

"I am Chen Guisheng from the nineteenth branch..." The young man's face was full of excitement, "I saw you when you came back two years ago..."

Chen Huaisheng had no memory. The last time he came back, he was in a hurry and had almost no contact with the people in the village.

After looking at the other two middle-aged men, who were around sixty years old, they were both Taoist priests, and I had the impression that they were from the Yin family.

Sensing that they all looked a little nervous, Chen Huaisheng was very curious. Logically speaking, he knew his origins, so he shouldn't be like this.

Chen Huaisheng immediately looked around and said, "What happened?"

"Someone sneaked into the village the night before, as if they were looking for someone..." Chen Guisheng also quickly glanced around and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shang Xiong met him and was killed by a heavy blow. Later he found out that he was looking for Jisheng. Uncle, yesterday someone entered the village again and searched everywhere. Several people died. Now no one dares to resist. Some people went to the county to report the news, but there was no news..."

Chen Huaisheng was stunned. Chen Shangxiong is dead? It was actually the night before?

What's going on? Who is so bold to kill people in Yuanbaozhai?

Although this place is remote, it can be regarded as the territory of the Zijin Sect, and as far as he knows, Chen Shangxiong should have always had a relationship with Baishimen.

As for Chen Jisheng? He had almost forgotten this name, but now that he mentioned it, he remembered it.

Chen Jisheng also came to Hebei and left a letter for himself, saying that he would go to Yijun to find him when he was free. He seemed to have married into a wealthy family in Yijun.

Which one? By the way, it's the Xiahou family.

"Jisheng is back?" Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation during his return. From the looks of it, something must have happened to Chen Jisheng.

"Uh,..." The three of them were a little nervous and didn't speak. Finally, Chen Guisheng gritted his teeth under Chen Huaisheng's gaze and said: "Brother Jisheng came back a few days ago, but he was not in the village. Where did he go? No one knows, but there have been people around the village these days, probably looking for Brother Ji Sheng..."

"Guisheng, have you met Jisheng?" Chen Huaisheng took a deep look at Chen Guisheng and nodded: "Don't hide it from me, and you shouldn't hide it from me. I am also a member of the Chen family of Yuanbaozhai..."
