Chapter 307 Human Nature
Shen Shi walked out of the hall with a big hole broken, and at a glance he saw the fox standing in the corner of the courtyard. Seeing that he was coming out, the fox hesitated for a moment and then walked towards him. Shen Shi watched the fox's figure coming, his eyes fell on his eyes and brows that looked strange in the darkness. Suddenly he wrinkled slightly.
The fox's eyes seemed a little weird.
At this time, there was a dull noise in the living room behind it, which sounded like Chen Zhong was moving something inside. Shen Shi didn't look back, but slowly squatted down and touched the fox's head. &n... Novel bsp; The fox looks very submissive. The wildness of living in the northern snowfields has been reduced a lot, and he even rubbed Shen Shi's palm with his head. The soft fur glided across the palm of the skin, giving people a very comfortable touch. Shen Shi touched it a few times, and then looked at the fox’s eyes carefully, but apart from the feeling that the light in the fox’s eyes was slightly greenish Besides, the others are no different.
Even that layer of faint green was different from the ghosts he had seen in the past, and it seemed a bit more angry.
So after Shen Shi pondered for a moment, he nodded and stopped thinking about the matter. He stood up and looked back, only to see through the hole, under the dim candlelight, Chen Zhongzheng turned his back to this side. , Kneeling beside the body of Mrs. Chen, her body twitching slightly.

When dawn came up, Shen Shi and Chen Zhong had already left Blackwood City and headed south of Lanzhou.
The two people who died last night will not be cared for by Brother Tie. As for Mrs. Chen, after being cremated by Chen Zhong, she was buried at the foot of a green hill outside the city of Blackwood. There was no grave or monument, only a scorpion. The new soil is between the grass and green trees. Shen Shi stood by and watched Chen Zhong knelt three heads on the ground facing the mound, and then left there.
According to Chen Zhong, when he is successful in his cultivation, or when he is soaring, he will definitely come back to bury his mother.
Last night, Chen Zhong also suffered a bit of injury when he started fighting with Shen Shi, but compared to the dead brother Tie, his injury was nothing at all. Even if a cultivator is a casual cultivator, his physical toughness is far better than that of a mortal. Therefore, after Chen Zhong swallowed a few pills, he followed Shen Shi all the way. When the light fell after dawn, his spirit looked like It doesn't seem to be too bad, but I just don't know if he is in good health or is excited about the bright future.
The two also chatted on the road. Shen Shi wanted to find out more about Xu Xueying from Chen Zhong's mouth, while Chen Zhong seemed to want to please the Xu family, who was unfathomable. He was very polite to Shen Shi, as if he had already What happened last night is completely forgotten.
Shen Shi sighed in his heart while vacillating. In the diametrically opposite identities of a filial son and a cool person, the man in front of him turned out to be unusually comfortable and smooth, which made him even feel a little bit obsessed. It's not clear what Chen Zhong is, or he hasn't really seen what human nature is.
From Chen Zhong’s mouth, Shen Shi knew that after Xu Xueying was taken captive from Tianhong City to Lanzhou by these three people that day, it was like a bird that had left a cage since he was a child, opening his eyes for the first time to see the world outside. Then he was quickly overwhelmed by Chen Zhong's heroic spirit and looked at him differently and fell in love with him.
For this reason, Chen Zhong couldn't bear it, and couldn't sit back and watch Xiaoying be sent into the tiger's mouth and ruin the happiness of his life. According to Chen Zhong, the mysterious ancestor was a great monk with high Taoism they met many years ago. He had an extraordinary desire for beautiful women from a family, but he did not want to ruin his reputation. So after being easily convinced by them, he ordered Chen Zhongren to walk the rivers and lakes to look for a good family girl for him, and thus did not know how many women were innocent and ruined their lives.
However, when Shen Shi asked about the true identity of this ancestor, Chen Zhong didn't know it. It turned out that the old monster didn't seem to completely believe in Chen Zhong. Every time he appeared in front of them, he covered his face. , And never take them back to places like caves or mountain gates.
When Shen Shi heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "If that's the case, how can he control you to do things for him? Even if he agreed to do things at the time, but then left Lanzhou and fled to the world, Hongmeng world is so big, always It is impossible to be found so unlucky.
Chen Zhong smiled bitterly, his face seemed a bit embarrassed, and after a short pause, he whispered: "The old monster is threatening us with intimidation. The intimidation is naturally to use powerful magical powers, so I dare not wait to disobey him. As for the temptation... he will give us some spirit crystals from time to time, and then promise us that if he can satisfy him, he will pass on to the three of us a very powerful Taoist supernatural power, at least the power Being also above the middle level of the Ning Yuan realm, it is enough for me to wait to walk the world without fear."
The corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched slightly. He turned his head and took a deep look at Chen Zhong. Suddenly, Chen Zhong didn't dare to look directly at him, and moved his head away, but after a while, he seemed to feel that he had something to say. He smiled forcefully and said: "This son, I think you should be a famous school. A proud man like you actually doesn't understand the hardships of our casual cultivators. We are born with nothing, we have to cultivate. It's really hard to become stronger, so..."
"So what?" Shen Shi asked lightly.
Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "So sometimes, he has to do something against his heart. I think the son is so smart and wise, maybe he can be considerate."
Shen Shi took a deep breath, and the fox who was following his feet seemed to feel something, and suddenly called out a little, jumped a step to the side, then flung his tail, and ran forward by himself. A paragraph. Seeing the snow fox whose hair became more and more uniform and more and more beautiful, and gradually recovered its original "beauty", Shen Shi was silent for a long time, and then did not look at Chen Zhong again, just walked forward with his hands behind him. It seems that there is no emotion in the mouth:
"Whoever chooses his own path, I know how to go."
Chen Zhong followed behind him and stared at Shen Shi's back after hearing the words, suddenly a trace of resentment and viciousness passed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists silently.
※※※
Three days later, under the guidance of Chen Zhong, the two rushed to an unnamed green hill on the border of Lanzhou. According to him, after the idea of ​​saving Xiaoying came into his mind that day, he found an excuse to rush back to the city of Kuromu. I need to place my old mother in other places to prevent Tie Ge and others from retaliation, and then rush back to prepare to see the opportunity to rescue Xiaoying before going to see the old ancestor and soar away. Who knows this seems to have been discovered early by Brother Tie and Sister Hong, that's why this twists and turns occurred.
However, Chen Zhong still knew the place where Xu Xueying was detained before, and Tiege, who had obviously rushed to take revenge, also died in the city of Blackwood. The remaining woman, A Hong, probably didn't know anything.
The two entered the mountains, walked for about half an hour, and found a cave in a valley covered with mountains and forests. Chen Zhong pointed to the cave over there and said to Shen Shi:
"Xiaoying is there."
Shen Shi nodded slowly, his eyes gradually brightened, and he let out a light breath.
(Recently, the state seems to be very sluggish... It seems that there is no such "revolutionary" binding force, and everything is suddenly relaxed! It seems that I still have to put a little pressure on myself.)
