"Shen Daoyou, from your accent, you seem to be a local. But where did you live, how did you get injured, and how did you end up by the Mountain River?" Shen Daoyou stared at Shen Luo's face and asked.
Shen Luo did not know how to describe where he came from, so he ignored it and answered vaguely.
"Yesterday in Deng Ping City, I was besieged by Demonic Beasts and Giant Insects. I couldn't help but fight with them. As a result, I was severely injured by the Demonic Beasts hiding in the clouds. Then I was injured by the Giant Insects and fell into the river. Unknowingly, I drifted here."
Hearing this, Shen Huayuan's face changed slightly and his eyes darkened.
Shen Yu also frowned, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
The surrounding people also looked at Shen Luo in a different way, and some even whispered to each other.
"Taoist Shen Yu, why do you have such a reaction? Do you think I'm lying?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Shen Daoyou, the Deng Ping City you mentioned was attacked by the Demons more than ten years ago. The city has long been destroyed and the people have died. It no longer exists. This lie is really a little crude. "Shen Huayuan snorted and said.
"What? Isn't that Deng Ping City? "Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Patriarch, I think he's most likely a spy of the demons. He's trying to sneak into our clan and sneak into the next city. Let's tie him up first," a person who looked like a guest elder shouted.
The rest of the people heard this and felt that it was reasonable. After all, this kind of thing had happened more than once in the surviving cities of the Tang Empire.
"You said that you saw the Giant Insects attacking the city yesterday, and there was a powerful Demon hiding in the clouds?" Shen Yu asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, the man in the clouds seems to be … seems to be called Elder Qian Yan." Shen Luo thought carefully for a while and remembered a name. He quickly said.
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the people present all stared at him, and their expressions became more and more strange.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the city you saw yesterday wasn't Deng Ping City, but Spring Splendor City!" Shen Yu answered before he could ask.
"What? Is that Chunhua County? "Shen Luo could not help but ask.
In his impression, Spring Splendor City was just a small county with a population of less than a hundred thousand. How could it be a huge city with towering walls like yesterday?
"County? It seems that you haven't been to Deng Province for a long time, right? "Shen Yu asked with a frown.
"Ever since the Cataclysm, there has never been one." Shen Luo put away his surprise and went with the flow.
"No wonder. After Deng Ping City was breached, the people who escaped from the city rushed to Spring Brilliance City. They stayed in the city and expanded the city to its current size. You must have made a mistake in your haste, "Shen Yu said with a sigh of relief.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The city he saw yesterday was really Spring Splendor City, his real hometown.
When the others heard this, they looked at each other and slightly dispelled their doubts.
"How is Spring Splendor City now?" Shen Luo still remembered the tragic scene of blood flowing like a river in the city. After a while, he couldn't help but ask.
"When we escaped, the city gate had already been breached. Once the city gate was breached, it was basically impossible to defend. After that, the demons not only massacred the people, but also destroyed the city and houses. I think that place is already a piece of scorched earth. "Shen Yu looked gloomy and said with some bitterness.
When Shen Luo heard this, his heart sank and a sad look flashed across his face.
A moment later, he collected his thoughts and raised his head to look outside. Suddenly, he saw a carriage parked in front of him. There was a large dark red plaque tied to it, and the three words "Shen Jitang" were written on it.
Shen Luo couldn't help but be stunned. The name "Shen Jitang" was the name of the Shen Family's medicine store. How could it be tied to the carriage of this group of people? Could it be …
At this time, he suddenly thought of a possibility and his pupils couldn't help but widen a little.
"May I ask Family Head Shen, what business does your family run?" Shen Luo asked tentatively.
Shen Huayuan heard this and was somewhat puzzled why Shen Luo suddenly asked this question, but he still answered, "Since the time of our ancestor's Yuan Pavilion, we have been running a medicine business for generations. We have always been running Shen Jitang to help the world."
Shen Luo was shocked in his heart when he heard this, and he finally came to an understanding. The clansmen of the Chen Clan before him were most probably the descendants of his younger brother, Chen Ci, a thousand years ago. But never had he imagined that they would gather in such a manner.
Seeing Shen Luo fall into silence again, Shen Huayuan and Shen Yu felt strange. They looked at each other and asked:
They looked at each other and asked, "Shen Daoyou, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I just feel that the matter of fate is really strange. My family's ancestor was also a medical practitioner, but he was a barefoot doctor and didn't leave any family business," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"So it is really strange. You and my ancestors were in the same line, and you have the same name as our family's ancestor. It seems that being able to meet is also a matter of fate," Shen Huayuan nodded and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, his heart suddenly moved and he asked, "So, I am very interested in your ancestor, Senior Shen Luo. I don't know what deeds he has done in his life. Can you tell me a thing or two about it?"
His face seemed as calm as water, but there were great waves in his heart.
If he could learn about his life from these juniors, it meant that when he returned to reality, all the things he knew would become things that hadn't happened. Wasn't it equivalent to knowing the future?
When Shen Huayuan heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes and he didn't immediately answer.
"There are few records of the life of Ancestor Shen Luo in the family. We only know that he left the family very early on and embarked on the road of cultivation. After that, he rarely returned and only left behind a Cultivation Method that was passed down for generations for the family. Therefore, even though we have great respect for him and are fascinated by him, we don't know what kind of things happened to him, "Shen Yu replied generously.
"That's a pity. Listening to what you said, I feel that your family's ancestor was also a great person. It is an honor to have the same name as him," Shen Luo listened and said with a smile.
Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't continue to ask. Otherwise, such an action would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, may I know what you plan to do next? Where do you plan to go?" Shen Yu asked with a smile.
"Alas, to tell you the truth, I have been living in seclusion in the mountains these years, avoiding the world. A few days ago, a large number of demons appeared in the valley where I lived, so I had no choice but to go to Dengping City … Oh, it's Chunhua City. I didn't expect to be attacked by demons not long after I arrived in the city. Now, I have nowhere to go, "Shen Luo said with a long sigh.
"Since the catastrophe, there are only a few human cities left in the Tang Empire. Not long ago, many demon tribes began to invade the 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, why don't you come with us? "Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and said.
