Chapter 979: Winter in Chen Wangcheng
Chen Wangcheng is not as good as the blessed land caves such as Cangbei Immortal Garden and Ethereal Cloud Peak, and the cold snap in winter still plagues it and the people in it. On this day, the temperature plummeted, and the pedestrians on the street were extremely scarce, and even the stall vendors who had worked tirelessly disappeared. Sun Changkong stood on such a street, and he couldn't help but feel a faint desolation in his heart.
Since the Qu family was eradicated by Chen Li, Chen Wangcheng fell into the hands of his real overlord, that is, the well-known Chen family. However, Chen Li, as the soul figure, fell at this time. The leaderless Chen family immediately fell into an unprecedented crisis, and the Fenghua April branch family also came to join in the fun.
Chen Shaolin is still young, Chen Shijie is missing, and Chen Li is poisoned and unconscious, and his life and death are still unknown. Sun Changkong can be said to be to blame for all this. It can be said that the Chen family has fallen to this dilapidated appearance today because of at least half of his reasons. In order to avoid extraneous complications, Sun Changkong left the twenty elites who came this time in the wilderness outside the city, and entered the city alone. The murderous atmosphere in front of him seemed to remind him that a terrible storm of unprecedented proportions was coming.
After learning about the situation of the Chen family, Sun Changkong did not rush to visit, but chose to rest in a tavern. The more times like this, the more a place like a tavern becomes more distinctive. If you're looking for something, there's nothing wrong with coming.
Now the factional struggle within the Chen family is very fierce, and the heads of the four major families are aggressive and attack a child, which is really blind to the cultivation of them by the ancestors at the beginning. ”
At this moment, several people at the table next to Sun Changkong were discussing the affairs of the Chen family, and Sun Changkong took the opportunity to put his ears up and continue to listen to them.
"Well, don't be so mean, if you put them in that position, I think they will do the same thing that they have done before. After all, they have been down there for too long, and people will get sick if they are always immersed in suppression, and since they are sick, of course, they must prescribe the right medicine. And there is only one way to heal them, and that is to make them the real head of the Chen family. Otherwise, they will miss it even when they are sleeping. ”
The two continued to talk for a while, but Sun Changkong, as a person who had only arrived for a long time, did not know the ins and outs of the matter, looked at the pot of burning knives that had barely been moved, Sun Changkong carried it to the table next to him, and greeted each other with a smile: "Two brothers, there are a few things I want to ask for advice, otherwise can you answer my questions and solve my doubts." ”
As he spoke, Sun Changkong put the wine jug in his hand on the table, and then said, "I asked for today's wine money." ”
Seeing that this person was generous, the two people looked at each other, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a rosacea, suddenly smiled: "Haha, it's easy to say." The fact that we can meet here today shows that we have a fate. There are thousands of glasses of wine for confidants, so today I will have a good drink with you, little brother. ”
Sure enough, rosacea is an out-and-out drunkard, Sun Changkong hasn't asked a word here, he has already eaten two pots of wine over there, and it seems that the more he drinks, the more energetic he becomes.
"Little brother, let me tell you, this is a hundred miles away, and there is nothing that I don't know about Old Ghost Xu. Ask if you have anything!"
Sun Changkong saw that the opportunity had come, so he hurriedly said: "Well, I heard the two of you mention the Chen family just now. But I don't know, there are many masters in the Chen family, and there are a few talented people. With so many high-ranking towns, why is there still such a thing as civil strife?"
Old Ghost Xu smirked and drank all the wine in his mouth, and then said vaguely in his mouth: "Young man, it is too shallow to enter the world at first glance, where do they, the people of the rivers and lakes, come from so much morality." Don't you still understand the truth of the tree falling and scattering? The ancestor of the Chen family is no good, and those high-ranking people from all walks of life who came here before will of course leave one after another, otherwise when will they be guarding a living dead. Besides, Chen Shaolin, who has only been the young master of the Chen family for a short time, is still young, and he has nothing to do, so it is impossible to let the huge Chen family stand up on his shoulders. So at this time, the head of the four major families stood up and proposed to re-elect the head of the Chen family, and the civil strife began here. ”
Hearing this, Sun Changkong couldn't help but say: "There are no doormen, the Chen family's own people should stand up and support Chen Shaolin! At least, he is the best candidate for the eldest grandson and the head of the Chen family." ”
"Hehe, the ancestors can't take care of themselves anymore, who cares about the eldest son and eldest grandson. And the four families of the wind and snow moon have long been eyeing this position, just waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky. Now that the ancestors of the Chen family have been robbed, it is the best time for them to occupy the sect family. The Chen family you mentioned no longer cares who is the sect family and who is the split family, as long as his fists are hard enough to bring more benefits to the family, then they will support him to ascend to the position of the head of the family. On the contrary, even if he is the young master of the Chen family, but he can't bring the slightest benefit to the family, then he doesn't want such a family master. ”
Sun Changkong was shocked in his heart, and then said: "Then where is Chen Shaolin now, those heads of the divided families will not give him ......"
Old Ghost Xu shook his head and said listlessly: "No, no, although they are extremely unoptimistic about that Chen Shalin, at least they will not do this kind of despicable thing of bullying the small with the big and bullying the weak with the strong." However, it is said that they have imprisoned Chen Shaolin in a hidden place, and they will never let him out until the real head of the family is elected. ”
Sun Changkong breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay." ”
At this time, Old Ghost Xu looked at Sun Changkong's body for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "I see that little brother, you are so concerned about the affairs of the Chen family, and you are also a member of the Chen family?"
Sun Changkong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly, pretending to be relaxed: "Where, I'm just curious, where will it be the famous Chen family." Thank you for your explanation, and I'm going to take my leave. ”
After Sun Changkong dropped the two gold ingots, he went out and ran directly in the direction of Chen's house. In any case, the immediate task is to rescue Chen Shaolin.
It rained outside the window again, and not only did they come into view, but everything they could see turned into white cotton wool. Chen Shaolin stood by the window, standing for half an hour, at this time his mouth was already frozen purple, but he still had no intention of going into the house to rest.
"Young master, go in and warm up! If you stand outside like this again, you will freeze your body. ”
Chen Shaolin, who has not been seen for several months, has a little more mature charm on his face than before, and his originally carefree face has become much deeper and more unpredictable at the moment. No one could guess what was going on in his mind, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"What day is today?" Chen Shaolin suddenly said to the servant.
"Back to the young master, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and today is the new year. ”
Chen Shaolin sighed and said, "It's a small year! I didn't expect the New Year to be so soon." I remember that a few years ago, I had a vigil with a few brothers, but who would have thought that now it was a matter of things and fratricide. ”
"Young master, don't think nonsense, as soon as the old ancestor wakes up, this group of small people will naturally settle down. ”
Chen Shaolin said with a little sadness: "So what, people's hearts are like mirrors, once damaged, they cannot be restored. Even if I'm still a young master, can they still get along with me as amiably as before?"
"This ......"
Chen Shaolin has seen through the cruel rules of the adult world at a young age, which is really a misfortune for him as a child. But this world is so cruel, it always likes to pile up in front of you what you don't like, and throw all the things you are chasing into the sky, so that you can't reach it.
Chen Shaolin enjoys too much glory and wealth, fine clothes and fine food that others can't experience in a lifetime. However, the special background also gave him a taste of the warmth and coldness of the world, as well as the so-called deception. Although he is just a child, his heart is like an old man who has experienced many ups and downs, big and small, and his face is dyed with a trace of old-fashioned air that is extremely inconsistent with his age. This is called growth in other people's mouths, but in his heart it can only be regarded as trouble. Growing pains.
"Oh no, no, Chen Ruhua and Chen Ruxue, the two heads of the family, started to move above the lobby again. The two sides are tense, and it looks like they are about to fight. ”
At this time, a thin half-grown child in a short coat and a thin figure ran in from outside the door, and he fell down with a puff and knelt at Chen Shaolin's feet, panting and saying.
However. He doesn't seem interested in the news.
"Let them fight! Wait until one of them surrenders, or is simply killed, then that's fine. ”
Hearing Chen Shaolin's tone, the child couldn't help but say anxiously: "But, those entourages are innocent! In the final analysis, they are all members of the Chen family, if they are allowed to fight and do not stop it, then it will be the Chen family itself who will be injured in the end!"
Chen Shaolin sneered, then raised his hands that were locked by cold iron shackles, and then said in despair: "I'm like this, how can I have the ability to take care of others." You go to Chen Shengqing, those old guys! They might have a way. ”
Seeing Chen Shaolin's such a negative appearance, the young man couldn't help but continue: "Young Master, now our fate is in your hands. Chen Shengqing's critical moments of old immortality have become wall grass, and whoever is powerful will be thrown into the arms of whom. If this continues, the Chen family will perish. ”
"It's good to be destroyed, and if it's destroyed, I don't have to worry about family affairs anymore. ”
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiao Shaolin, why have you become so decadent. ”
Chen Shaolin suddenly raised his head, and suddenly saw the strange but extremely familiar figure standing in front of the window, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You...... You!"
Sun Changkong looked down at his body, and then remembered that he had returned to his original body, and then laughed: "Oh, you don't recognize me, do you? I'm your Sun Changkong Brother Sun!"
