Chapter 307 Descendants of the Shen Family
"Fellow Daoist Shen, your accent sounds like a local, but I don't know where you lived before, why you were injured, and why you ended up on the bank of the river?" Shen Huayuan's eyes narrowed slightly, falling on Shen Luo's face, and asked .
Shen Luo didn't know how to describe where he came from, so he could only ignore it and answered vaguely:
"Yesterday in Dengping City, I encountered monsters and giant insects attacking the city. I couldn't hold it back and fought with them. As a result, I was severely injured by the powerful monsters hidden in the clouds. I was later injured by the giant insects and fell into the river. Unknowingly, I drifted here.”
After hearing this, Shen Huayuan's face changed slightly and his eyes darkened.
Shen Yu also frowned, with a suspicious look in his eyes.
The people around him also changed their gazes towards Shen Luo, and some even started chatting in low voices.
"Fellow Taoist Shen Yu, why do you react like this? Do you think what Shen said is untrue?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you said that Dengping City was conquered by demons more than ten years ago. The city was destroyed and people were killed, and it no longer exists. This lie is really crude." Shen Huayuan snorted coldly and said.
"What? Isn't that Dengping City?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
"Master, I think he is probably a spy of the demon. He deliberately sneaked into our clan and wanted to follow him into the next city. Let's tie him up first." A man who looked like a guest shouted.
When everyone else heard this, they all thought it was reasonable. After all, this kind of thing had happened more than once in the surviving cities in the Tang Dynasty.
"You said you saw giant insects attacking the city yesterday, and there were powerful demons hiding in the clouds?" Shen Yu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, that person in the cloud seems... seems to be called Ancestor Qian Yan." Shen Luo recalled carefully for a while, remembered a name, and said quickly.
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked directly at him, their expressions getting weirder and weirder.
"Friend Daoist Shen, the city you saw yesterday was not Dengping City, but Chunhua City!" Before he could ask the question, Shen Yu had already given the answer.
"What? Where is Chunhua County?" Shen Luo couldn't help but say.
In his impression, Chunhua City is just a small county town with a population of less than 100,000. How could it be a huge city with towering walls like yesterday?
"County town? It seems you haven't been to Dengzhou for a long time, right?" Shen Yu asked with a frown.
"It's never happened since the disaster." Shen Luo put away his surprise and said calmly.
"That's no wonder. After Dengping City was breached, the people who escaped from the city rushed to Chunhua City, stayed in the city, and expanded the entire city to its current size. I guess you were in a hurry and admitted your mistake. Yes." Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but stay where he was.
The city yesterday turned out to be Chunhua City, my real hometown.
After everyone else heard this, they looked at each other a few times and were slightly relieved of their doubts.
"So what's going on in Chunhua City now?" Shen Luo still remembered the miserable scene of rivers of blood in the city. After a while, he couldn't help but ask.
"When we escaped, the city gate had been breached. Once the city gate was breached, it was basically impossible to hold it. After that, the demons would not only massacre the people, but also destroy the city and houses. I think there was already a lot of chaos there. The earth is scorched." Shen Yu's expression darkened and he said with some bitterness.
After hearing this, Shen Luo's heart sank, and a sad look flashed across his face.
After a moment, he calmed down, raised his head and looked outside, and suddenly saw a large dark red plaque tied to a carriage parked in front, with the three characters "Shen Ji Tang" written on it.
Shen Luo couldn't help but be stunned. The name "Shen Jitang" was not the name of their Shen family's pharmacy. How could it be tied to the carriage of this group of people? Is it possible...
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his pupils couldn't help but grow a little bigger.
"May I ask Master Shen, what kind of business does your family run?" Shen Luo asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Shen Huayuan was a little confused as to why Shen Luo suddenly asked this question, but he still answered: "Since the time of our ancestor Yuan Ge Gong, we have been running the herbal medicine business for generations. We have always opened Shen Ji Tang and hung pots to help the world."
After hearing this, Shen Luo was shocked, and finally realized that the Shen clan in front of him were probably the descendants of his brother Shen Ci's lineage thousands of years ago, but he never expected that they would get together in this way.
Seeing Shen Luo fell into silence again, Shen Huayuan and Shen Yu felt strange. After looking at each other, they asked:
"What is Fellow Daoist Shen thinking about, so lost in thought?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that fate is really amazing. My ancestors were also practicing medicine, but they just traveled barefoot and did not leave any family fortune." Shen Luo smiled and said.
"It's really strange to say that you and I are from the same business, and you have the same name as our family ancestor. It seems that we are destined to meet each other." Shen Huayuan nodded and said.
After hearing this, Shen Luo suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "In that case, I am very interested in your ancestor, Senior Shen Luo. I wonder what his life was like. Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
His face seemed as calm as water, but his heart was quite turbulent.
If he could learn about his life story from these descendants, wouldn't it mean that when he returns to reality, all the things he knew would become things that never happened, which would be equivalent to knowing the future.
Shen Huayuan's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation when he heard this, and he did not answer immediately.
"There are few records of the life of the ancestor Shen Luo in the family. We only know that he left the family very early and embarked on the path of cultivation. After that, he rarely returned and only left the family with the handed-down skills. Therefore, although we, the younger generation, respect him and are fascinated by him, we don't know what happened to him." Shen Yu answered generously.
"That's a pity. After hearing what Daoyou said, I think the ancestor of the noble is also a remarkable person. It is an honor to have the same name as him." Shen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he did not continue to ask, otherwise such actions would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Daoyou Shen, I wonder what your plans are next and where you are going?" Shen Yu also smiled and asked.
"Alas, to be honest, I have been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years. A few days ago, a large number of monsters appeared in the valley where I lived. I had no choice but to go to Dengping City... Oh, it was Chunhua City. I didn't expect that not long after I arrived in the city, I encountered monsters attacking the city. Now there is nowhere to go." Shen Luo sighed and said.
"Since the disaster, there are only a few cities where human beings still live in the entire Tang Dynasty. Not long ago, many monster tribes began to invade various cities on a large scale. Chunhua City is the last city left in the entire Dengzhou. Now that the city has been breached, we plan to go directly to Jianye City, which is the largest remaining human city nearby. Since you have nowhere to go and your injuries have not healed yet, why don't you come with us." Shen Yu hesitated and said so.
