Chapter 274: Yan Cheng
Looking at the middle-aged man who was far away, Chen Xuan frowned, and sighed secretly in his heart,
"It seems that the cultivation realm I see is only the tip of the iceberg, and only when it becomes strong can I see a more wonderful world. ”
Chen Xuan sighed and continued to walk towards the village in front of him.
This village is the first settlement that Chen Xuan has seen, and it is better to say that it is a village than a castle.
The village looks down from the sky like a giant column, with a view of the sky dome above and a thick earth below.
The only entrance to the village is a square gate no more than two meters long and wide, and there are several big men guarding the door.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Chen Xuan's maverick costume, a big man said menacingly.
"I'm a monk. ”
When Chen Xuan saw the appearance of this village, he probably knew why these Yan clans spoke to him in a menacing manner.
"Then you can leave, our village has not been entertaining outsiders lately. ”
Hearing Chen Xuan's slightly calm voice, Yan Wu's voice also calmed down.
People respect me, I respect people.
What's more, they're just some rustic guys.
"I may be able to help you with your troubles. ”
Although he didn't know why, Chen Xuan felt the kindness in the words of this big man.
And vaguely, Chen Xuan also felt the strange atmosphere in the village.
It's uneasiness, it's fear.
"What!"
Hearing this, a trace of horror flashed in Yan Wu's eyes, but it was more of a surprise.
Yan Wu remembered that he didn't say anything about the crisis in his village at all, but the young man in front of him said it himself.
Is this a messenger sent by Heaven to help us?
Thinking of this, Yan Wu took a closer look at Chen Xuan and found that Chen Xuan not only had different clothes from himself, but even his appearance was different from himself.
This made Yan Wu more sure of what he thought in his heart, and his heart became more excited.
Several other Yan clans heard Chen Xuan's words, and there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes, but they still didn't believe it,
"We're facing a tide of flame beasts, are you really willing to stay and help us?"
The Yan are the darlings of the Yan Realm, but the Yan Beasts are the natural enemies of the Yan Clan, they feed on the Yan Clan, live on lava, and their hard wallets are enough to make ordinary Yan people fearful.
If it weren't for the Yan Clan's organization, discipline, and strong deterrence, the Yan Clan would have been destroyed by the Yan Beast Clan long ago.
Some powerful settlements are guarded by strong people, but small villages like Yanwu can't get the Yan Crystals that the Yan monks need, and they can't find powerful monks to protect them, so they can only build fortresses in the wilderness to avoid the attack of the Yan beasts.
But every once in a while, the flame beast would stop the beast tide, and every time the beast tide, the village had to send the village boy to defend the village.
In this battle of protection and invasion, the village that is not guarded by the strong will basically lose a lot of young adults every time.
And now, the beast tide is about to come, and Yan Wu doesn't want Chen Xuan to stay in their village and suffer the threat of death, so he will let him leave.
Chen Xuan felt the kindness in the words of these young people, nodded and said, a fiery red light appeared in the palm of his hand,
"I can indeed help you ward off the tide of beasts. ”
Seeing the bright red light emanating from Chen Xuan's hand, Yan Wu's face was flushed a little more,
"You wait here, I'll tell the village chief. ”
After Yan Wu said this, he left here as soon as he slipped away, obviously looking for the village of the village.
Several other villagers glanced enviously at the flame in Chen Xuan's hand, and asked with some curiosity,
"Senpai, are you a monk?"
A middle-aged man paused, and still asked curiously, like a child.
Chen Xuan nodded,
"Uncle, I am indeed a monk. ”
Seeing Chen Xuan's tone so gentle, the other two younger monks immediately asked,
"You look so young, are you really younger than us? When I was a child, I heard the old village chief say that those powerful monks were old monsters who lived for at least a thousand years. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't cry or laugh a little,
"If you really live for thousands of years, then when my ancestors are enough, how can you call me uncle?"
When the middle-aged man who spoke first heard this, sweat flowed down,
"Isn't that a mess of time?"
Seeing Dahan's nervous look, Chen Xuan felt that he had returned to the days when he lived with his grandfather, and smiled,
"I'm only in my twenties, and I'm no older than you, uncle. ”
Just when Chen Xuan was chatting happily with these guards, Yan Wu came to Chen Xuan with an old man, Yan Wu pointed to Chen Xuan, and introduced to the old man,
"Village Chief, this is the strong man who said that he could stay and help us resist the beast tide together. ”
Chen Xuan glanced at the old man and found that although the old man looked old, he was a real three-star powerhouse.
Maybe it's because of his age, coupled with the fact that he often eats grains, the meridians in his body are gradually blocked, and his combat power is weaker than that of ordinary three-star Earth Evil monks, and it can probably be compared to ordinary Earth Evil One-Star Monks.
When Chen Xuan looked at the village chief, the village chief was also looking at Chen Xuan.
The village chief was also a monk at the beginning, and he had been in the Flame Realm for a while, but in the end, because he couldn't bear the cruelty of the Flame Realm Cultivation Realm, he returned to the mortal world and stayed in this small village.
It is precisely because of the existence of this three-star village chief that this fragile village has been able to survive until now.
"Daoist friends don't look like they're from my Flame Realm, and I don't know where they came from. ”
After wandering around the cultivation realm of the Flame Realm for so long, the old village chief's eyesight has also become very poisonous.
But he found that with his three-star cultivation, he couldn't see through the cultivation of the young man in front of him, which set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
The village chief understands that the origin of the young man in front of him is not simple.
However, at the same time, he was shocked and relieved.
A powerful monk like Chen Xuan, there is nothing in their village that can make the powerful youth in front of him worry, which means that the young man in front of him may really come to help them.
This is undoubtedly great news for their village, where only a few old, weak, sick and disabled remain.
"I don't know how I got in,"
Chen Xuan shook his head blankly,
"Originally, I just wanted to find a place to ask about the news of this world, but when I heard the word beast tide, I wanted to stay and see if I could help. ”
Chen Xuan knew that he had entered the Flame Realm to comprehend the Fire Spirit Seed, but after he entered the Flame Realm, the portal had already disappeared.
So Chen Xuan really didn't know how he came here, and he didn't even have a clue how to leave him.
"The old man's name is Yan Cheng, I don't know the name of Daoyou's surname?"
Yan Cheng naturally didn't think that Chen Xuan would tell him everything in the future, but he could see that it was a fact that Chen Xuan had just arrived.
"My name is Chen Xuan. ”
Chen Xuan smiled,
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yan can let me stay in your place for a while. ”
Yan Cheng smiled and didn't agree immediately,
"If Daoist friends are willing to stay, Yan Cheng is grateful, but this time the beast tide is very different from before. ”
When Yan Cheng said the word beast tide, he had a feeling of palpitations,
"Although Daoyou is powerful, if you insist on staying, you may die. ”
Hearing Yan Cheng tell the truth, the two young men next to him also lowered their heads in shame.
They want to defend their village, but their strength is too weak, and they have no choice but to die in front of the powerful fire beasts.
But Chen Xuan is different, Chen Xuan is a powerful monk, if he can stay, he will definitely be able to help a lot, so although they told Chen Xuan that they would face the flame beast tide, they did not tell the truth completely.
Chen Xuan also understands the thoughts of Yan Wu and the others, if Chen Xuan stands in their position, maybe Chen Xuan will do the same as Yan Wu.
After all, the village is inhabited by their families, who accompany them day and night.
Although Yan Cheng also wanted to protect the village, he didn't want a stranger to die because of this, so he chose to tell Chen Xuan the truth.
Feeling Yan Cheng's sincerity and the shame of Yan Wu and the others, Chen Xuan patted Yan Wu's shoulder and said with a smile,
"You did the right thing, and if I were you, I would do the same. ”
Seeing Chen Xuan's such affectionate actions, Yan Wu was even more embarrassed,
"I'm sorry, I should have confessed to you just now. ”
It is a very rare thing for a middle-aged man to be shy.
"Since Chen Xuan Daoyou insisted on staying, then Yan Chengcheng thanked Daoyou on behalf of the people in the village. ”
Seeing Chen Xuan patting Yan Wu on the shoulder, Yan Chengcheng knew Chen Xuan's plan, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his originally dead heart.
"Then these days will be troublesome to Daoyou. ”
Chen Xuan smiled and followed Yan Cheng into the village.
"Little Er, stop playing, hurry up and come back for dinner. ”
"Got it, mother. ”
A young man with a lock of pigtails on his head answered and ran home.
"Xiao Er, you are a leprosy dog, and you are lazy. ”
The man named Xiao Er turned his head, made a face at his little friend, and ran again.
Looking at the young man and girl who was gritting his teeth and scolding Xiao Er, Chen Xuan's face had a faint smile.
The child was ignorant, which made Daoyou laugh. ”
"That's how I came when I was a kid. ”
Chen Xuan was a human being in two lives, so he had a happy childhood.
But for most monks, the so-called childhood is just a shadow, invisible or touchable, and even if there is, it may just be a few pills or spirit stones given by the same sect when they are cultivating.
Yan Cheng smiled, as if he had remembered something, and neither of them spoke for a while.
The village is very small, and there is no deceit in the cultivation realm, only the laughter of children and the chatter and laughter of the elderly.
"If there is no flame beast tide, maybe this can be regarded as the legendary peach blossom source. ”
Feeling the relaxed atmosphere in the air, Chen Xuan's heart secretly thought.
