Chapter 663 Chu Ziyan's Past
On the other side, Li Gang took Han Xu and the other two to the small courtyard where Chu Ziyan lived. After a few words of greeting, they left.
After he left, Han Xu also set up a barrier in the room. He knew that Chu Ziyan must have something to ask.
As expected, as soon as the barrier was formed, Chu Ziyan asked: "Brother, you concealed your identity just now, but what are you worried about?"
Han Xu was not afraid of offending Chu Ziyan. They had a life-long friendship, so there was no need to worry about what he said.
Chu Ziyan said: "Brother, as a world walker of the Hidden Gate, I was sent to the village when I was very young. It was the people in the village who raised me and taught me to practice. In my opinion, they are no different from my relatives.
After the Hidden Gate was sealed, the Li family settled here, one is to guard the entrance to the Hidden Gate, and the other is to assist each generation of world walkers. For hundreds of years, they have been abiding by their mission. If the Hidden Gate can be successfully unsealed, it is inseparable from the hundreds of years of anonymity and huge efforts of the Li family."
Chu Ziyan spoke with emotion, and Han Xu and Leng Wushuang could see that he really had a deep feeling for this place. In fact, it is not difficult to understand his feelings by putting themselves in his shoes.
For Chu Ziyan, this place is more like his hometown, and the Li family is the relatives who raised him.
Although there is no blood relationship, the Li family has a real grace of raising Chu Ziyan.
Therefore, Chu Ziyan would never believe that the Li family would harm him. Moreover, if the Li family really had problems, they could have attacked Chu Ziyan when he was young. After all, the Hidden Sect could only send one child out of the seal every hundred years.
As for what would happen to the people sent out later, the Hidden Sect could not receive any news. Chu Ziyan only learned after he came out that those who walked the world before him eventually paid the price of their lives to lift the seal.
This directly led to Chu Ziyan's later unruly behavior. He wanted to use his limited life to enjoy the fun of the world.
After listening to Chu Ziyan's story, Han Xu realized that Chu Ziyan's childhood was not much better than his. He shouldered the hopes of the whole sect at a young age. At a young age, he knew that he was embarking on a road of life and death.
"I understand your feelings very well." Han Xu said, "I hope I am too worried."
"Brother, the Li family is the benefactor of the Hidden Sect. There is no way they will have any problems. I can guarantee it with my life." Chu Ziyan still chose to trust the Li family unconditionally.
At this time, Leng Wushuang said, "Don't be too absolute. It is often the people who treat you best who can hurt you the most."
"You are a good girl. You can talk about the philosophy of life."
"What is philosophy?"
"It means truth. It's my hometown dialect. Don't mind it." Han Xu saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he made a little joke. Then he patted Chu Ziyan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I am used to being cautious. I often judge others by my own standards. Anyway, there is no time to lose. Let's go and see the seal tomorrow."
"I want to see what the seal that can make the hidden door helpless is like."
"I don't know the details of this. I can only know it when I get there." Chu Ziyan said.
The three of them practiced for a while, or to be more precise, two people, because Han Xu didn't need to practice.
In fact, Han Xu also tried to practice by himself, but it turned out that practice was too boring. He couldn't stand that kind of life, especially at his current level. He would practice in seclusion for days, months or even years.
Han Xu couldn't sit still so anxiously.
When night fell, Li Gang came again. He said that Li Zhenghong had arranged for a sumptuous banquet to welcome Chu Ziyan.
It was hard to refuse the hospitality, so the three of them came to Li Zhenghong's house. This was a larger courtyard, and the banquet table was placed in the courtyard. Although there were no precious ingredients on the table, it was delicious and aroused people's appetite.
"Young Master, these dishes were your favorite when you were a child. I don't know if your tone has changed after more than ten years."
"Grandpa Li is thoughtful." Chu Ziyan said.
"By the way, look who is back." Li Zhenghong had just finished speaking when a man about the same age as Chu Ziyan ran out of the door.
"Zi Yan!"
"Li Xun, good brother!" Chu Ziyan stepped forward and collided with Li Xun fiercely. The two punched each other.
Han Xu found that Li Xun, who was young and lived in this desolate mountain, actually had the strength of the late Saint Realm. It seemed that his talent was also very strong, not much worse than Chu Ziyan.
"I just heard that you're back. I came to see you before I changed my clothes." Li Xun said.
"Where did you go?"
"Of course I went out to hunt monsters, but I was unlucky today. I didn't see any monsters. Maybe it was God's will that I should come back soon."
"Brother, this is my good brother who I have played with since childhood, Li Xun."
"Li Xun, this is my big brother I met outside, Han Xu." Chu Ziyan introduced.
Li Xun followed Chu Ziyan's gaze and saw Han Xu looking at him with a smile on his face. It was originally a friendly smile, but Li Xun squeezed it out for a while.
He felt a breathless pressure from Han Xu. He was clearly smiling, but he was as majestic as a god.
"Brother Han, since you are Ziyan's big brother, you are also my Li Xun's big brother."
"Okay, everyone, take your seats. There's plenty of time for you to reminisce tonight." Li Zhenggang said, and then asked everyone to sit down.
In addition to the few people just now, Li Gang and several other middle-aged men also took their seats. According to Chu Ziyan's introduction, Han Xu knew that these people were the core figures in the village, and they were also the strongest ones, all of whom were in the late Saint Realm.
In a village with only a hundred households, there is not only a strong man in the Creation Realm, but also several masters in the late Saint Realm. If such a lineup were in the outside world, it would be enough to support the configuration of a first-class sect.
Even if they were once affiliated with the Hidden Gate, and the clan members had good talents, but they lived in isolation for hundreds of years. Where did they get the materials they needed for cultivation? Not to mention Li Zhenghong in the Creation Realm, even if the masters in the late Saint Realm in front of them cultivated to this level, the resources consumed should be astronomical.
It's impossible to live off the old capital until now. If it's the Hidden Gate, it's possible, but if it's just an affiliated with the Hidden Gate, it's impossible to leave so many resources needed for cultivation in a hurry.
Han Xu and Leng Wushuang looked at each other, and both saw strange emotions in each other's eyes.
After everyone was seated, Li Zhenghong raised his glass and said, "Here, this first glass of wine, toast to the young master, Mr. Han, and Miss Leng."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass. Han Xu was about to drink it, but heard Leng Wushuang's voice transmission: "The wine is poisonous!"
