Chapter 343 Yunlong City
This made Xiao Lin frown slightly. The world has been changing for a long time. After all, he has been away for more than half a century, which is at least more than thirty years.
The world is like this. Talents emerge from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old. Although Bailiantang has unlimited glory and has occupied Huai County for decades, after helping Xiao Shi defeat the Baihuamen of the immortal immortal, he wanted to come to Bailiantang. There will also be a big development.
However, misfortunes come with blessings, and there is no guarantee that a more powerful person will not appear. Although Xiao Shi, with his own help, has entered the Innate Perfection, which is the highest state that a warrior can achieve, there are not only warriors in this world.
Warriors are not worth mentioning to cultivators. In large sects like Dancao Mountain, there are many cultivators who already have a retirement mentality after their realm cannot be improved.
What's more, there are many casual cultivators in those immortal cities. There is no guarantee that they will not choose to enter the secular world, hide behind the scenes, and live a carefree, wealthy and glorious life when there is no hope of promotion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin became more and more worried about his family. With a slight sway under his feet, the person passed by like a faint wisp of smoke, and the pedestrians on the street didn't notice at all.
Moreover, wherever Xiao Lin passed by, there was no disturbance, not even a breath of air was brought up. Xiao Lin's Flowing Cloud Light Body Technique may have reached the point where no one has ever done it before or since. Even the person who created this light skill may not be able to do it. I never imagined that someone could cultivate it to such an extent.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin came to a large house with the word "Xiao Mansion" written on it.
Seeing that the Xiao family was fine, Xiao Lin felt slightly relieved. Then he let go of his spiritual consciousness and saw everything in the entire house. A warm smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face.
With a slight sway, the gray fog around him dispersed and disappeared without a trace. At this moment, Xiao Lin was already standing in the courtyard, looking at an eighty-year-old man with white hair in front of him with a kind face. In front of me, seven or eight boys and girls were playing, grinning from time to time with a warm smile.
Next to him, stood a pretty woman of eighteen or nineteen years old. The woman was wearing a pink dress and looked slim. At first glance, it seemed that she was just a young lady from a small family who was leaving the boudoir.
But if you look at her eyes, you feel like you have seen the vicissitudes of life, giving you a feeling that is completely different from your age.
"Father, it's time to eat." At this time, a voice sounded, and a woman of about fifty years old walked out of the inner room. Her hair was white at the temples, coiled on her head, and her face was already engraved with the marks of time. Wind and frost.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a sore nose and his eyes became misty.
From the faces of the eighty-year-old man and the fifty-year-old woman, Xiao Lin could vaguely see his own shadow. If he had not embarked on the path to immortality, he might have become a sixty-year-old man like his sister.
Only Hua Rongrong, the "ageless immortal" back then, still maintained her appearance without any change, which surprised Xiao Lin. Logically speaking, Hua Rongrong was probably over a hundred years old at this moment.
Moreover, Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that Huarong's inner strength had reached the point where she could return to her original nature and not reveal her whereabouts. Her eyes were cloudy and there was no trace of divine light leaking out.
If it weren't for Xiao Lin's identity as a cultivator, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the identity of this pretty woman.
Xiao Lin's lips trembled with excitement. He thought he had given up on family ties and concentrated on the road, but the moment he saw his father and little sister, he still felt a wave of sadness, which also made him lose the courage to show up.
He did not dare to face the aging of his father and little sister with his appearance, and he did not want to bring the pressure of this gap on his relatives.
"Ah? It's time to eat again. Hey, day by day, it feels like eating, sleeping and basking in the sun. When will it end?" Xiao Shan stood up from the chair tremblingly, while Hua Rongrong hurriedly stepped forward to give her a gentle kiss. He gently supported the old man.
"Old master, please slow down. You are very lucky. Look at the family here. It is not easy to enjoy family happiness in this era of war and chaos."
"Ha." Hearing Hua Rongrong's words, Xiao Shan couldn't help but smile and said, "After all, I am more than twenty years younger than you. In the end, I still want you to support me."
"Aunt Hua, Xiao Shi hasn't come back yet. Is something going to happen? The Immortality Sect is aggressive, and Xiao Shi has already given up almost all his territory. Are they still unwilling to give up?"
Hearing this, Hua Rongrong's eyes flashed with cold light, and then fell silent.
"It seems that this time Liu Changsheng will not give up for the sake of our Xiao family's Dry Water Sutra." After thinking for a while, Hua Rongrong said.
"Then leave it to them. None of the four generations of our Xiao family can practice the magic formula left by my brother. Now it has become the source of trouble for us. For all of us, If they want my son's comfort, just give it to them." Xiao Zhi's face turned pale, and after sighing, he said.
"I didn't expect that Liu Changsheng, who had been hiding in the world for decades and was already in his twilight years, would still come out to fight for hegemony. Moreover, even if he cultivated the longevity art to the pinnacle, he would definitely not be able to defeat his two masters. It seems that there is something not so simple behind this matter.”
After all, Hua Rongrong is an old Jianghu. Although after Xiao Lin left, she retired from the Jianghu and took care of her old master and second wife at the Xiao family. Her life was quite comfortable, and after these decades of peaceful life, she also I have long been accustomed to this kind of comfortable life.
Moreover, the Xiao family had never treated her as an outsider for a day, which made her feel that her choice back then was very wise.
However, if Xiao Shan really encountered an invincible enemy, she would rather risk her life to protect the Xiao family. Thinking of this, her eyes showed absolute despair.
"Then what should we do? If it doesn't work, let's leave Huai County. Anyway, Brother Shi also told me that he was tired of it a long time ago. Why don't we move to Yunlong City and stay anonymous and safe? Have a good time?"
"Well, when the second master comes back, the second lady can talk to him..." Hua Rongrong understood that the reason why Xiao Shi was unwilling to give up Huai County was because the foundation of Bailian Hall was here. Of course, the main reason , but it’s because of his master...
Hua Rongrong suddenly looked startled, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on her face, and her eyes were filled with divine light. This scene shocked Xiao Shan and Xiao Zhi beside them, who thought that this great master had gone crazy. .
But the change in Hua Rongrong's expression only lasted for a moment before she regained her composure, but her eyes were still full of joy.
"Old Master, Second Madam, you guys eat first, and I'll go to Bailian Sect first to see when the Second Master will be back?"
"Well, let's go." Xiao Shan heard this, put on his crutches, and then waved to Hua Rongrong.
After Hua Rongrong received Xiao Shan's consent, her delicate body suddenly turned into a pink light and shadow, shooting towards the outside of the house. The several-foot-high courtyard wall was easily crossed by it. After turning a few alleys, Hua Rongrong appeared. At the end of an alley.
At this moment, at the end of the alley, there was a person standing with hands behind his back. He seemed to have sensed Hua Rongrong's arrival, and turned around slightly, revealing a dark face.
"Who are you?" Seeing this person, Hua Rongrong showed a suspicious expression on her face, and she also felt a sense of vigilance in her heart. Could it be that the enemy deliberately used the name of the master to lure her away?
Thinking of this, Hua Rongrong's expression changed and she was about to turn back to Xiao Mansion.
At this time, the dark-faced young man in front of her suddenly blurred, and the next moment, he turned into a handsome young man in his twenties, looking at her with a smile.
Seeing the familiar face in front of her, Hua Rongrong's eyes turned red and she knelt down on the spot.
"Owner..."
Decades of getting along with the Xiao family day and night has allowed Hua Rongrong to completely integrate into it. In her heart, she is a member of the Xiao family. She is very satisfied with her current life, and all of this is the result of the person who embarked on the journey to seek immortality. Given by the master of the path of inquiry.
Now that I saw Xiao Lin, I felt like I was seeing a relative, and I unconsciously paid homage to him.
Seeing Hua Rongrong pay homage to her, Xiao Lin was slightly startled, and then gently supported her with one hand. Hua Rongrong only felt a huge force coming from her. She stood up without any resistance, and she couldn't help but feel surprised. , compared to decades ago, the realm of his master has become more and more unfathomable.
"Get up, it's been really difficult for you in the past few decades." Xiao Lin said with a slight sigh.
"Rong Rong would also like to thank Master for allowing me to see through the worldly fame and fortune. In the end, it is just a vain thing. Being able to become a member of the Xiao family and enjoy the blessing of peace and stability is all given by Master."
"Well, in that case, you are a member of my Xiao family. In addition, I heard what you just said, the leader of the Immortality Sect should be Liu Changsheng. The power of Bailiantang was forced by the Eternal Life Sect, and it is what it is today. Are you almost leaving Huai County?"
"It's true. Liu Changsheng and I were together in the world back then, but he was very low-key. He practiced kendo in seclusion all year round for decades. Unexpectedly, in his old age, he started to compete for hegemony."
"Originally, even if he really cultivated the longevity art to the highest level, he would still be unable to defeat the second master. However, for some reason, the second master did not confront him head-on, but chose to retreat. In the past few years, the longevity cult has not been affected by the second master. Instead of giving in, he pressed forward step by step. From Rongrong's point of view, the current situation of the second master is probably not good. "
Hearing this, Xiao Lin had a thoughtful expression on his face. Of course he came to Huai County this time to meet his family, but another important purpose was to take his family out of Huai County and find a safe place.
He heard Xiao Zhi mention Yunlong City before. Yunlong City is one of the three major cities in Yuxi Kingdom. In terms of size and prosperity, it is second only to the capital Yuxi City.
It might not be a bad choice to move the Xiao family there, but at the moment he still had to help Xiao Shi solve the trouble in front of him. He didn't want the Xiao family to fall into endless battles after he left.
