    Looking at this tidy courtyard, Xu Luo could imagine that when the old man and his family were all there, it must have been a harmonious and warm family, with loving old men, lively children, and filial sons and daughters-in-law.  Today, the small courtyard is still clean and tidy, but the happiness of the past has long been changed beyond recognition.  Xu Luo's mood was very low.  The old man raised his head, looked at Xu Luo's expression, and showed a kind smile: "Young man, don't feel sad for me, this is life." "This is not life." Xu Luo also raised his head, looking at the old man's face with ravines.  The old face said: "Life shouldn't be like this." "But, what can we do?" The old man sighed: "We are not the kind of big shots who have the power of life and death. We don't have the ability to fly around. We can only accept everything.  What can you do if you endure this kind of life? " "Resist? You can't even hold it up with one finger." "I'm really not trying to attack you, young man. Maybe you have a lot of strength and a lot of cultivation.  "It's so high that it can fly around in the sky." "But the current city lord, do you know who is behind him?" The old man looked at Xu Luo and murmured: "Behind him is above the Emperor Star  "The most supreme existence" "He doesn't even need any reason to raze this city to the ground and turn it into ashes" "After we are all sinners" Xu Luo raised his head, his eyes were very bright and transparent.  With sincerity: "Old man, do you think so too? Do you really think that your ancestors are sinners?" The old man shook his head: "Of course not" "My ancestors are heroes, great heroes" "In this city  The ancestors of the vast majority of people are heroes." "How could they be sinners?" Xu Luo looked at the old man: "Then why do you still say that?" "Young man, history is always written by the victors?  "Yes." A look of disappointment flashed in the old man's dim eyes: "I am an old man. I have read a few books when I was a child, so I have some knowledge." "I know very well who my ancestors are."  "I also know that they fought bloody battles to protect their relatives and friends from being attacked by aliens. They died fighting for this world. They deserve to enjoy a monument instead of being humiliated like this now. " "But I am.  What's the use of a person knowing this" "More people in the ancient city today have already accepted the fact that they are descendants of sinners. Even if I go to tell them now: Our ancestors are all  The heroes of this world will not believe it either." The old man raised his head, looked at Xu Luo, and smiled bitterly: "Can you understand this feeling of depression and grievance?" "I can understand it," Xu Luo said in a deep voice.  , stood up and paced back and forth in the small courtyard. By this time, Xu Luo already knew very well what the problem was. Just like Tianyue until today, everyone in Tiangu City did not want to let him go.   He doesn't want to let it go. But for various reasons, even if Tianyue is now the most powerful person in the entire Emperor Star, he still can't do whatever he wants.  He can send his own people to become the city lord of Tiangu City; he can use his power to prevent the descendants of the heroes in Tiangu City from practicing cultivation; he can even confuse right and wrong and make the descendants of these heroes in Tiangu City think that they are sinners.   However, he was unable to cover the eyes of all the big shots on the Emperor Star. No one stood up to publicly accuse him, but it does not mean that everyone's hearts and eyes are blind.  " If Tianyue dares to destroy Tiangu City, then some of the real elders on the Emperor Star will definitely not sit back and watch.  By that time, Tian Yue would have really offended the public.  In fact, the current Tiangu City is not much different from the one that was completely destroyed  The descendants of those heroes back then are now living a life worse than pigs and dogs.  The whole family of the city lord is domineering here, holding the power of life and death.  In the eyes of countless people, this city is no different from a dead city.  "So, young man, you'd better leave this city as soon as possible." The old man looked at Xu Luo and sighed: "Although I don't know why you came here, I guess you have your own reasons." "But  You can't save this city alone." "Moreover, there is no one in this city who can help you." "If something happens to you, you won't be able to tell anyone, and no one will be grateful to you.  " "They will think that you have caused them trouble" "Because at that time, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. " "I have already done so.Taking life and death lightly, death is not a pity, but not everyone in the ancient city is like me, free from worries and worries.  " Xu Luo nodded, raised his fist towards the old man, and saluted seriously: "Old man, thank you very much for your words, I will keep them in mind.  " "Don't worry, old man, I've never seen you before." "Farewell." Xu Luo said, his body flashed and disappeared directly into the neat courtyard. A few fallen leaves were picked up by a gust of wind and floated in the air.  After turning around for a few times, it slowly set. The sunset cast its golden rays on the old man, adding a sense of desolation. The old man sighed, shook his head slightly, hunched over, and entered the room.  A heavy sigh came from the room: "He is another stubborn young man. He heard the story of Tiangu City from somewhere, and relying on his youth and passion, he wanted to change the fate of the people here Sigh" "I am already very good.  I'm old. Over the years, I have secretly stopped thirteen such young people, but without exception, they all died here.  " "I hope you are an exception and can leave this city alivethisdemon cave" Xu Luo appeared on the streets of Tiangu City. People with sallow faces and thin clothes could be seen everywhere on the streets. Most of their eyes did not have much sparkle, and their faces  Full of vicissitudes of life. Walking hurriedly on the streets of Tiangu City, doing various things to make a living. "Candied hawsa bunch of delicious candied haws only costs a copper plate." "Tofufresh from the pot."  " "Authentic rice wine, extremely fragrant, century-old store, credibility guaranteed" The sounds of various hawking sounds filled his ears. Xu Luo looked around. Although the merchants shouted loudly, the people who really patronized the business were  Very few. "This is a city that barely feels any life." At this time, he saw a young woman holding a five or six-year-old girl in one hand, and in the other hand,  Carrying a bag, several hen crows could be heard from inside the bag. The little girl, who was being led by the young woman, was obviously wearing old clothes that had been remade by adults, and they were still patched in many places.  But it was very clean and spotless. The little girl had two braids and a pair of big dark eyes, looking around curiously, holding her mother's hand tightly with a hint of shyness in her eyes.  Compared with this simple and innocent little girl, her mother, a young woman, looks much more nervous. The young woman's skin is very white, her hair is wrapped in a piece of floral cloth, and the clothes she wears are also very shabby.  Like the child she was holding in her hand, Yu Jing was very nervous. Perhaps she deliberately wanted to keep a low profile and not want to attract other people's attention. When the young woman walked, she kept her head down and walked a little fast. If it weren't for taking care of the child, she might have walked.  It will be faster. "Mom, Mom, I want to eat a bunch of candied haws." The little girl called out loudly at this time, looking in the direction of the candied haws on the roadside, her eyes full of desire.  She pursed her lips, thought for a while, bent down, and whispered: "Grandma is still sick and needs this old hen soup to recuperate her body. Our family doesn't have much money anymore, so mom can't buy you this bunch of candied haws."  , can you understand mother's difficulties?  " The little girl blinked her big, dark, jewel-like eyes and nodded: "I can understand, but I still want to eat candied haws" The conversation between the mother and daughter may or may not have been heard by the people around them.  , but no one paid any attention to them. People passed by the mother and daughter without even looking at them. But Xu Luo heard them clearly. He thought for a while and walked over.  The vendor selling candied haws on a stick took out a small piece of scattered silver and asked, "With this silver, can I buy a bunch of candied haws on a stick?"  " The vendor selling candied haws is a young man in his twenties. Hearing Xu Luo's words, he was slightly startled for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the silver in Xu Luo's hand. His eyes suddenly straightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently: "This person  Young Masterare you kidding me?  These silver buy a bunch of candied haws?  " "What, not enough?  "Xu Luo glanced at the young vendor, feeling a little unhappy. "Just now, he was still shouting, one copper coin per string. The silver he gave could be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, but it turned out that the young vendor  It's still too little? Could it be that you think I have a good temper? "No, sir, you misunderstood, it's really you gave me too much money," the young man said.  The hawker obviously realized that what he said was misunderstood, and quickly apologized to Xu Luo and Xu Luo smiled and put the money away.In the hands of the young hawker, he picked the best one with the most sugar, plucked it from the straw bale, then turned around and walked towards the mother and daughter.  At this time, a chaotic sound suddenly came from the distance, and a tyrannical voice came: "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, a bunch of criminals, are they all blind? You can afford to suffer for blocking Master An's way.  "Boom" The crowd around them suddenly dispersed, and from a distance on the ancient bluestone road, three or four horses came running wildly.  There is no intention of slowing down at all.  The leader is the one who makes the overbearing and arrogant voice. He is dressed like a servant, but the aura on his face is stronger than that of an ordinary noble master.  Behind him, on a tall black horse, sat a young man with a face like a crown jewel, with a high-spirited expression on his face, looking high and forward.  The young man's eyes suddenly fell on the young woman, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face: "That little lady is good, take her away." "Yes." The man in front of him dressed as a servant, Yu Jian responded, and moved towards  The young woman holding the little girl rushed over directly: "My young master has fallen in love with you, why don't you kowtow to express your gratitude quickly?" Xu Luo narrowed his eyes, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.  At this moment, there was a burst of noise full of envy and jealousy from the crowd around him.  Xu Luo was slightly startled.
