Chapter 430: Not Many Good People, Many Bad People
After going down the mountain and returning to the town, Chen Chao walked without any surprises. He did not show off the snow-white antlers through the city. Now the monk in the mountain would not know that the young warrior in front of him killed the demon king and took the demon horns.
Guys, they don't even know that the demon king is dead at this moment, they just keep searching for the demon horn in the mountains.
In fact, it is not impossible to give the antlers in Chen Chao's hands to Xu Bai and his wife. If they go to Jianqi Mountain to do what they want them to do, getting an extra pair of antlers is actually just the icing on the cake and will not really impress Jianqi Mountain. But even if
Normally, when relatives come to visit, they need to prepare a few small gifts. Chen Chao's request was quite big, so this pair of snow-white deer antlers was not a big deal as a greeting gift.
It's just that Xu Bai's flying sword has become a piece of scrap metal after colliding with his broken sword. But Xu Bai shouldn't care as long as he saves his wife, not to mention that the flying sword is not a good thing at all.
Otherwise, Jiang Ying would not be so eager to replace her husband with a flying sword.
Thinking of Jiang Ying, Chen Chao's thoughts were complicated. This woman was not a good person, but she was not a bad person either. It was just because of her deep feelings that she was like this. But if it wasn't for Xu Bai, Chen Chao might have risked his life to kill her first.
Although this woman, the little girl Xie Ying, has changed his mood a little, he will never become a so-called bad person, and he will never be merciful to those who deserve to be killed.
When he returned to the small town, it was already early the next morning. Chen Chao came to the small courtyard and did not break in. Instead, he knocked on the door patiently.
After waiting for a long time, young Erhu asked softly from inside the door: "Is this Mr. Chen?"
Chen Chao hummed, and the other party opened the courtyard door and said happily: "I thought it would take several days for the young master to go up the mountain this time, why did he come back so early?"
Chen Chao said with a half-serious smile: "The Demon King has been killed, and there is no more excitement. What are you going to do if you don't come back?"
The young man was startled and then asked: "Who killed him? Nanshan Maitreya or swordsman Xu Bai?"
Chen Chao asked curiously: "You know quite a lot."
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment. He has a quick mind and likes to keep an eye on everything. After Chen Chao left, he went to the inn to inquire about it. In addition, Nanshan Maitreya and the others are naturally well-known figures in Huanglong Prefecture.
Naturally, he has heard of reputation.
Chen Chao walked into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Guess."
The young man followed Chen Chao and said tentatively: "It must be the swordsman Xu Bai. I heard that his swordsmanship is also ranked among the best in Huanglong Prefecture."
Chen Chao shook his head, pointed at himself, and said with a smile, "I killed him."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then he let out a sigh of admiration and said: "Young Master is very capable."
Chen Chao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding you, I don't have that ability."
The young man shook his head and said: "Young master, it's just a matter of time to kill that sloppy Taoist priest. It's also okay to kill a demon king, right?"
While talking, the girl had already brought a basin of water and a cloth towel, and came to Chen Chao. She said timidly: "My benefactor, wash your face."
Chen Chao took the towel, washed his face, and then said: "Don't call me benefactor, just call me son. As for the demon king, he is much stronger than that sloppy Taoist priest. Didn't you see that the sky is full of demons? It's really not something ordinary people can deal with."
Got it."
After washing his face, Chen Chao found a chair and sat under the eaves, and said, "Let's pack up quickly. How about we leave today?"
Before the boy could speak, the girl said timidly: "So early?"
Chen Chao glanced at the girl, but before he could speak, the boy beside him said embarrassedly: "We planned to go to worship our parents today, but we might not be able to come back for many years."
Chen Chao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a bag of yellow paper in the corner of the room, as well as incense and candles.
Seeing that Chen Chao was silent, the girl quickly said, "Master, if you think it's not possible, we'll pack things right away."
Chen Chao shook his head and said softly: "How can you say no to this kind of thing? I will go with you."
The young man waved his hands quickly, "How can I bother you with such a thing?"
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and joked: "Aren't you still worried that this girl of yours will be attracted by me? You hid it well before, but now you see, you are just guarding me, right?"
The boy's face turned red and he didn't know what to say for a moment. The girl was even more at a loss and turned around, but her face was already red.
Chen Chao asked: "Outside the town? There are many monks there. I'm really worried if you two go there. If something goes wrong with you, I'll have to make another trip. It'll be quite troublesome."
The young man nodded and thanked: "Then thank you, Master."
After that, he went out with the boy and the girl. After chatting along the way, he learned that the girl's name was Chunyue, which was much better than the name of the boy Erhu. This made Chen Chao sigh, saying that Erhu's son seemed to be picked up.
She's just an ordinary girl, but she's a daughter. She's her biological child.
The girl was shy to begin with, and now she spoke very little. Just listening to Chen Chao's words made her heart happy, and she secretly glanced at Chen Chao many times along the way.
Let's talk about Chen Chao. In fact, he has grown very fast in the past two years. Although his appearance cannot be said to be handsome, he can still be said to be delicate. Coupled with his extremely beautiful eyes, Chen Chao's whole person's aura was suddenly lifted.
Extremely tall, but actually more attractive than an ordinary handsome boy.
Arriving in the mountains and forests outside the town, the brother and sister found their parents' graves in a familiar way. The young man knelt down in front of the graves, his eyes red, "Father, mother, Erhu is taking his sister to the capital of gods. He can't come to kowtow at the graves of his two elders anymore."
, but you can rest assured that Erhu will take good care of his sister and not let her suffer any injustice."
Unlike her brother, the girl just cried silently, probably because she remembered the past again.
Chen Chao stood alone in the distance, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
After returning to the town, the boy had returned to normal, while the girl's eyes were still red and she sobbed from time to time.
Chen Chao couldn't help but said: "Life is a farewell. You have to leave first and then later. Be more open-minded."
The girl nodded slightly and said nothing.
After returning to the house, the girl cooked a sumptuous meal and the three of them served it. Chen Chao asked, "What should I do with the house? Is it sold?"
The young man shook his head and said: "Maybe I will have to come back in the future, and it will be good to have a place to stay when the time comes. Besides, if the house is really sold, maybe my hometown will no longer be my hometown in the future."
Chen Chao nodded and did not say anything to offend the scenery. However, after having a meal, he returned to the house early to rest. At the same time, he reminded the brothers and sisters to pack their luggage and rush to the nearby prefectures and counties early tomorrow morning. Chen Chao would then meet
Find them a trustworthy caravan and let them follow them to the divine capital. It is hard to say whether there will be any accidents along the way.
The rest of the night was uneventful, except that at dawn many monks who had returned home returned to the inn in the town.
Chen Chao opened the door early in the morning. The brother and sister had packed up and were waiting in the courtyard. Chen Chao used his energy all night to repair the previous injuries. After breaking through the realm, he should have strengthened his body, but he just went out.
If you are outside, give it up for now.
Chen Chao led the brother and sister out. The boy locked the door and hid the key under the stone slab in front of the door. The girl reluctantly took a look at this small house. The feeling of leaving home, after all, was not pleasant.
The three people quickly left the town. Just after leaving the town, they met three or five loose cultivators returning to the town. During the conversation, they accidentally revealed that they had found the body of the demon king and that Nanshan Maitreya was dead. After that, they
It is speculated that the demon horn has fallen into the hands of Xu Bai and his wife. Xu Bai is a master of swordsmanship. They have no courage to provoke it, and they have no idea to rob it, so they have to return to the town and prepare to leave.
Seeing Chen Chao and the other three, one of the monks caught sight of the girl's beauty, and a strange color appeared in his eyes. However, Chen Chao squinted his eyes and looked at that person before he made any move.
The man suddenly felt cold all over, and then he noticed the young man wearing a black shirt with a knife, and finally quickly looked away, not daring to have any more thoughts.
Chen Chao had no expression on his face as he passed by a few people.
At this moment, Chen Chao was glad that he had made the right decision. If he had allowed the brother and sister to leave alone, he was afraid that both of them would have to leave their bodies in the wilderness before they left the town.
On the way to the county town, Chen Chao and the others walked along the official road. However, this official road was not flat. Even the carriage had to stop and go. Chen Chao had not thought of hiring a carriage before.
This time, however, he slowed down and deliberately waited for the brother and sister who had never traveled far.
The girl was already weak, and she felt a little tired after walking for a short time. However, she was strong enough not to speak and just held on. It was Chen Chao who noticed that the girl was stubborn, so he proposed to take a short break.
But the young man said worriedly: "Young master, we spent the night outside..."
Chen Chao laughed dumbly, "You don't think you can reach the county seat in one day with our legs, do you?"
The young man smiled awkwardly, he had almost forgotten about this.
Sitting on a large bluestone, the girl came over with a water bag and handed it to Chen Chao. Chen Chao took it without raising his head, and the clear water in the water bag rose up from the water bag and fell into Chen Chao's mouth.
The girl's eyes widened. She had never seen such a scene before.
The handsome Chen Chao handed the water bag back to the girl and said earnestly: "You are good-looking. When you go to Shendu, you have to pay attention. There are many lustful people in Shendu who covet beauty."
The girl nodded silently. She had hardly walked out of the small courtyard in these years, that is, because she had a pretty good face and beauty. For a woman, if she came from a good family, that would be a good thing, but to be born into a small person like them
I'm afraid it's not a good thing but a disaster.
The girl suddenly plucked up the courage to ask: "Where is the young master's residence in Shendu, so that my brother and I can go and thank him when he returns to Shendu?"
Chen Chao didn't say anything, just looked into the distance.
At this moment, the dusk was getting thick, and three figures appeared on the official road in front of me.
It was the three brothers of the same mother who stayed at the inn before, and they were all casual cultivators.
Chen Chao did not stand up, but just smiled and asked: "Fellow Taoists, why don't you kill the demon king? Have you changed the way of robbery?"
The three of them had expressionless faces, and one of them said calmly: "Hand over the demon horn, and we can spare your life."
Chen Chao pretended to be surprised, "Demon horn? What demon horn?"
The man didn't talk nonsense and said straightforwardly: "I saw the bodies of the deer demon and Nanshan Maitreya. They were not wounded by swords, but by knife wounds."
Chen Chao said oh, Baimi Yishu, he hadn't thought of this yet.
He jumped off the big bluestone and signaled to the brother and sister not to be afraid, and took a step forward. Chen Chao then smiled and said, "Have those guys ever thought about why Xu Bai didn't take action to grab the demon horn?"
"Xu Bai, that rotten good guy, even though he is wallowing in the mud, still believes in the moral principles of the world, even though he has a good swordsmanship."
One of them said coldly: "We are not Xu Bai."
Chen Chao sighed: "Yes, so if he is alive, you should die."
