Chapter 364
Chapter 364
Hong An's power in Qingzhou is huge, almost monopolizing the entire Qingzhou. Hong An not only gathered the local tyrants, but also deployed his own people in various states and counties to secretly monitor Ren Xiaoyao's every move. When they saw Ren Xiaoyao leaving Tiandu City, they all had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Brother, this Ren Xiaoyao is not a good guy. I'm worried that he will take revenge on us." A man said to a man in a black robe.
"What are you afraid of? We have so many brothers. How can he really cause trouble?" the man in black robe said calmly, his tone full of confidence.
"Can......"
"Alright, alright, there's no buts. You all just keep an eye on him and don't give that kid a chance to run away." The man in black robe said impatiently, then turned and left.
Seeing this, the group of men looked at each other with serious expressions.
......
"Ren Xiaoyao, just wait for me, I won't let you go!" the man in black robe shouted with gritted teeth.
......
After Ren Xiaoyao left Qingzhou, he traveled westward. He kept changing horses, traveling all day and all night, and finally arrived outside Qingzhou three days later. There were many oases and tribes there, and it was the most prosperous area near Tiandu City.
Ren Xiaoyao walked along the way, leaving his footprints along the way.
When he arrived at the oasis, everything was different.
The people in the oasis were all wearing animal skin clothes, and the scene was bustling with activity.
Ren Xiaoyao walked into a tribe called Green Leaf Valley.
In the center of the oasis, a house stood there. This was Ren Xiaoyao's home.
Ren Xiaoyao walked outside the house, pushed open the gate and walked into the house.
There were two people sitting in the room.
One was an old man, and the other was a woman. She was very beautiful, but at the moment she looked haggard, with red and swollen eyes, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
"Ren Xiaoyao, are you still alive?" the woman asked in surprise when she saw Ren Xiaoyao coming back.
When Ren Xiaoyao saw the woman, a trace of bitterness appeared on his lips: "Mom, my child is back."
"Good, good!" The old man also smiled with relief, "Xiaoyao, you are finally back."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, looked at the layout of the house, and felt a lot of emotion.
"Xiaoyao, how have you been these days?" the woman said gently, "your father and mother are waiting for you."
Ren Xiaoyao looked at his mother's kind smile and suddenly felt his nose sore. He didn't know why he was crying, but he just felt uncomfortable with the sore nose.
"Mom, how are Dad and Mom?" Ren Xiaoyao said with sobs. The sandstorm was raging. Ren Xiaoyao knew that there was the Yellow Spring Road, which led to hell. There would be many evil spirits on the Yellow Spring Road, so he had to be careful.
A day later, Ren Xiaoyao arrived at an oasis outside the desert.
There is a village in the center of the oasis. There are more than thirty households in the village, all of whom are farmers.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao approached the village, several peasant women came after him with hoes in hand. They were all startled when they saw Ren Xiaoyao.
"Boy, who are you? No strangers are allowed to enter here, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" one of the peasant women warned.
"Auntie, I am a wanderer who fled from outside and wanted to seek asylum. To be honest, I encountered many attacks from ferocious beasts along the way. Fortunately, I was lucky and escaped by chance." Ren Xiaoyao said respectfully.
The peasant women looked at each other and dropped their hoes.
"So he is a little wanderer. No wonder he dares to go into the wolf pack alone." said one of the peasant women.
"Since you want to stay at our house for a few days, I will let you stay," said another peasant woman.
"Thank you, auntie!" Ren Xiaoyao bowed in gratitude.
These peasant women were all kind-hearted and they did not take the opportunity to ask for any reward.
Ren Xiaoyao followed the peasant women into the house, cleaned up the room, and then moved in. After Ren Xiaoyao recovered from his injuries under the care of the peasant women, he began to prepare to regain the position of head of the family.
.....
A year and a half later. That was where he had lived since he was a child.
Over the years, he had never set foot there, nor did he dare to set foot there. He was afraid to see his parents, afraid that they would leave him because of his absurdity.
But now, he had to go back. He had to tell his parents that he had grown up and no longer needed their protection. He was qualified to protect them and could bring them a stable and happy life.
After Ren Xiaoyao left, Ren Hong stood up and looked into the distance.
It was a snow-capped peak towering into the clouds. It was the battlefield where he had fought in the past. His parents were there, and he had never forgotten them.
He had always wanted to meet his parents in person, but his parents had passed away long ago, so he had no chance.
Ren Xiaoyao flew eastward along the snowy area. He wanted to reach the snowy mountains as quickly as possible to pay homage to his parents. But after flying for half a month, he found that the sky was gray, without a trace of sunlight, and not even a star could be seen.
Ren Xiaoyao slowed down a little.
He knew that this should be the middle of the Tiandu Mountains. There were many mountains in the snowy area to the west. The Tiandu Mountains to the west were the most dangerous place in the central region, and ordinary monks did not dare to approach them. Because the beasts here were very powerful, the monks would only be slaughtered if they encountered them.
Ren Xiaoyao flew for more than ten days and finally arrived at his destination. The sand dunes stretched for dozens of miles.
Ren Xiaoyao's father, Ren Xiongfei, once said that if he wanted to retake Tiandu Mountain, he must cross this desert.
This is the ancestral precept of their Ren family and cannot be changed.
Ren Xiaoyao walked along the desert for three days and finally saw a sand dune in the distance. He walked to the dune and looked at it carefully.
"Strange, why is this place so desolate?" Ren Xiaoyao wondered in his heart.
The surface of the sand dune was covered with weeds, but there was no sign of a single tree. Ren Xiaoyao squatted down and took a closer look, and found that the shape of these weeds seemed to be a kind of vine.
“Are there any vines here?”
Ren Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then took out a dagger and dug a few pieces of soil. He dug them all out and checked them carefully, but found nothing unusual.
"Forget it, I'll continue going north. There is really nothing here. Maybe this is not an ancient tomb at all, but just an ordinary desert." Ren Xiaoyao said self-deprecatingly.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to move forward, he suddenly heard cries for help coming from the desert.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, two girls were being chased by a group of men in black. The girls' clothes were torn, revealing their shoulders and buttocks, and their faces were full of panic. Behind the girls was a burly man.
"Damn it, these beasts are chasing us again."
As the girl ran, she cursed the group of ferocious beasts living there.
Ren Xiaoyao came here.
Ren Xiaoyao walked northward for hundreds of miles until he finally saw an oasis, which was called "The Wizard of Oz".
The Wizard of Oz, as the name suggests, is about an island in an oasis where all the living species are very special.
This island is called 'Green Forest Island'.
On Green Forest Island, there lived a monster called "Green Haired Monkey". They had sharp claws and bodies as strong as cows, and could easily tear anything apart. They were extremely aggressive and often robbed passing caravans. There were many people guarding the perimeter of Green Forest Island.
Ren Xiaoyao has been very low-key along the way.
Ren Xiaoyao came to the oasis and stopped.
Ren Xiaoyao carefully observed the Green Forest Island. The terrain of this Green Forest Island is very peculiar, surrounded by water on all sides, with only a cave in the center. In the cave, there is a big fish, three meters long and one meter wide, with a brown body and a big mouth that can swallow several tons of gold.
Ren Xiaoyao observed for a while and felt that there should be no danger on Green Forest Island, so he prepared to sneak into the Green Forest Island to look for Ren Xiaoyao's relatives.
Ren Xiaoyao planned to dive in from the surface, but his Qinggong was not good enough. When he held his breath underwater, he felt difficulty breathing and was easily suffocated.
Ren Xiaoyao thought about it and chose to crawl.
Ren Xiaoyao swam along the current, and after swimming for more than ten kilometers, he reached the northernmost tip of Tiandu Country. There, Ren Xiaoyao found his parents and some of his tribesmen. They lived in the desert, and their lives were extremely hard. Ren Xiaoyao searched in the desert for decades, and finally found his parents and his brother and sister at some point.
"Father, my son is back!" Ren Xiaoyao said excitedly.
Ren Xiaoyao searched for a long time but couldn't find his parents. Unexpectedly, they found him in this desert. Looking at his parents' tired faces, Ren Xiaoyao felt that he was lucky because he was still alive.
Ren Xiaoyao's parents heard the voice and turned around. When they saw Ren Xiaoyao, they nodded with satisfaction and showed a warm smile.
Ren Xiaoyao walked up to them and said, "Father, mother, I am unfilial. I am useless and have caused trouble for you."
Ren Xiaoyao's mother shook her head: "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? I told you a long time ago that you can do it. Where have you been during this time? Your father and I are so worried!"
"Mom, we'll talk about these things later. Let's go home first."
Ren Xiaoyao supported his parents and walked towards his home. Along the way, Ren Xiaoyao asked his parents why they didn't go home. Ren Xiaoyao's parents said that their wife and daughter were abducted by Hong An and they dared not go home.
Ren Xiaoyao kept all of this in mind.
Hong An, just wait for me! When I have enough strength, I will make you pay with blood! Ren Xiaoyao walked in the desert for three days, but still could not find any trace.
"Am I going to stay in this desolate place forever?" Ren Xiaoyao murmured to himself, his heart full of bitterness.
This place is too big, there is no way he can find his parents.
"Am I going to spend my whole life in the desert?" The more Ren Xiaoyao thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. He knew he couldn't survive in the desert, so he had to leave.
Ren Xiaoyao thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of something: since this place is uninhabited, there must be a water source. And this is the south, the water and soil should be suitable for human life.
When Ren Xiaoyao thought of this, he immediately adjusted his direction and rushed towards the northeast.
Ren Xiaoyao was flying while observing the surrounding scenery.
He saw a large river appearing in his sight. That river was the legendary Yellow Spring River!
Ren Xiaoyao thought about it and felt that he had made the right choice. He circled in the air for several times before landing beside the Yellow Spring River.
There were dozens of peasant-like families on the river bank. When they saw Ren Xiaoyao, they stopped working and looked at him in surprise.
Ren Xiaoyao knew that this was a desolate place with few people, so he walked to the river bank and shouted, "Is there anyone here?"
"who?"
A woman walked out of the house, looked at Ren Xiaoyao and asked vigilantly.
"Excuse me, is there any higher place nearby that can shelter from the wind and waves?" Ren Xiaoyao wanted to find a hidden place to avoid Hong An's search, and then go look for the whereabouts of his parents and younger siblings.
Ren Xiaoyao walked in the desert tirelessly.
Ren Xiaoyao had not stopped for the past few days, he just kept walking north. He didn't know when Hong An would send someone to capture him, so he had to find his parents as soon as possible to make sure they were safe.
