Looking at this neat courtyard, Xu Luo could imagine that when the old man and his family were all there, they must have been a harmonious and warm family, with the elderly loving, the children lively, and the son and daughter-in-law filial.

Now the courtyard is still neat, but the happiness of the past has long been beyond recognition.

Xu Luo was in a very depressed mood.

The old man raised his head, looked at Xu Luo's expression, and showed a kind smile: "Young man, don't be sad for me, this is life."

"This is not life." Xu Luo also raised his head and stared at the old man's old face with a wide gully: "Life shouldn't be like this."

"But, what can we do?" the old man sighed: "We are not the kind of big men who hold the power of life and death. We don't have the ability to fly around. What can we do except to endure such days?"

"Resist? I can't even hold up a finger"

"I'm really not attacking you, young man, maybe, you have great strength and high cultivation, and can fly around the sky."

"But the city lord now, do you know who is behind him?"

The old man looked at Xu Luo and murmured: "Behind him is the...the highest existence above this imperial star."

"He didn't even need any reason to ⊥The city was razed to the ground and turned into ashes."

"We are all sinners..."

Xu Luo raised his head, his eyes were very bright, and he showed sincerity: "Old man, do you think so too? Do you really think your ancestors are sinners?"

The old man shook his head: "Of course not."

"My ancestors are heroes and great heroes"

"The ancestors of most people in this city are heroes."

"How could they be sinners?"

Xu Luo looked at the old man: "Then why, you still want to say that?"

"Young people, history... have always been written by the winner." A hint of loss flashed in the old man's somewhat blurred eyes: "I am immortal. When I was a child, I had read books for several years, which is considered to be a bit of insight."

"I know very well who my ancestors were; I also know that they fought bloody battles for their relatives and friends, and they died in battle for this world. They should enjoy a monument instead of being humiliated like now."

"But what's the use of me knowing these alone?"

"In this ancient city, more people have already accepted the fact that they are descendants of sinners. Even if I tell them now: Our ancestors are all heroes of this world, they will not believe it."

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." Xu Luo said in a deep voice, stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard. By this time, Xu Luo knew very well in his heart, what was the problem?

Just like Tianyue until today, he didn't want to let him go. Everyone in the entire Tiangu City...he didn't want to let him go.

But for various reasons, even if Tianyue is now the most powerful person in the entire Emperor Star, he cannot do whatever he wants.

He can send his own people to become the city lord of Tiangucheng; he can use his power to prevent the descendants of the heroes of Tiangucheng from practicing; he can even turn right and wrong into black and white, so that the descendants of the heroes of Tiangucheng think that they are descendants of sinners...

However, he couldn't cover the eyes of all the big men on this Emperor Star

No one stood up to criticize him publicly, but it does not mean that everyone's hearts and eyes are blind.

If Tianyue dares to destroy Tian Gucheng, then some real older figures on the Emperor Star will definitely not sit idly by.

By then, Tian Yue would have really inflicted public anger.

In fact, there is no big difference between the current Tiangu City and being completely destroyed...

Those heroic descendants back then now live a life worse than pigs and dogs.

The whole city lord's family is here to show their might and hold 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 should leave this city quickly." 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... this city is not something you can save alone."

"And, there is no one in this city who can help you."

"If something happens to you, you will not be able to say it yourself, and no one will be grateful to you."

"They think that you have implicated them."

"Because at that time, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"I have taken life and death lightly, and I am not willing to cherish death, but not everyone in the ancient city this day is like me, without any worries."

Xu Luo nodded, clasped his fists at the old man, and bowed seriously: "Old man, thank you for your words, I remember them in my heart."

"Please rest assured, I have never seen you before."

"Farewell"

Xu Luo said, his figure flashed and disappeared directly into the clean and neat courtyard.

A few fallen leaves were swept up by a breeze, and after a few turns in mid-air, they slowly fell down.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads on the old man, adding a bit of vicissitudes and desolation.

The old man sighed, shook his head slightly, and walked into the room with a hunched back.

Then, a heavy sigh came from the room: "Another stubborn young man, I heard the story of Tiangucheng from somewhere. Relying on his youthful passion, he thought about changing the fate of the people here... Alas."

"I'm very 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 alive... this... the devil's cave"

Xu Luo appeared on the streets of Tiangucheng. People with yellow faces and thin faces and ragged clothes could be seen everywhere on the street. Most of them had little eyes and their faces were full of vicissitudes.

Walking in a hurry on the streets of Tiangucheng, rushing all kinds of things to do for your livelihood.

"Cannot haws... A delicious candied haws only cost one copper plate"

"Tofu... freshly out of the pot, fresh tofu..."

"Authentic rice wine, extremely mellow, a century-old store, guaranteed reputation"

All kinds of hawking sounds were filled with his ears. Xu Luo looked around and saw that although the merchants were shouting loudly, there were very few people who actually visited the business.

"This is a city that can hardly feel any vitality," Xu Luo murmured to himself.

At this time, he saw a young woman holding a little girl of five or six years old in one hand, and holding a pocket in the other hand. From time to time, the cry of hens came from the pocket.

The little girl led by a young woman was obviously modified from the old clothes worn by adults. She was patched in many places, but she was very clean and spotless.

The little girl was combed with two pigtails and a pair of big black eyes, which were very bright and curiously looking around. One hand held her mother's hand tightly, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Compared with this innocent little girl, her mother, this young woman, seemed much more nervous.

The young woman's skin is very white, her hair is wrapped in a piece of floral cloth, and her clothes are also very worn, but like the child holding her hands, she is very Yu Jing.

Perhaps she deliberately wanted to keep a low profile and didn't 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 children, she might have walked faster.

"Mom, mom, I want to eat a bunch of candied haws." The little girl made a crisp call at this time, looking at the direction of candied haws on the roadside, her eyes full of desire.

The young woman hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, thought for a while, bent down, and whispered: "Grandma is still sick and needs this old hen soup to nourish her body. We don't have much money at home, so mom can't buy you this string of candied haws. Can you understand your mother's difficulties?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes like a gem and nodded: "I can understand, but I still want to eat candied haws..."

The conversation between the mother and daughter may have been heard or not heard by the people around them, but no one has given them any attention.

People passed by the mother and daughter in a hunch, without even looking at them.

Xu Luo could hear it clearly. He thought about it, walked to the vendor selling candied haws, took out a small piece of scattered silver, and asked, "Do you buy a bunch of candied haws?"

The vendor selling candied haws was a young man in his twenties. When he heard Xu Luo's words, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes fell on the silver in Xu Luo's hand. His eyes suddenly became straight, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently: "This young man... aren't you kidding? Are you... buying a bunch of candied haws?"

"Why, not enough?" Xu Luo glanced at the young vendor and felt a little displeased.

I was still shouting just now, and there was no problem in changing the silver I gave me for a hundred copper plates. But the young vendor still thought it was too little? Could it be that I think I have a good temper?

Xu Luo frowned slightly.

"No, no, you misunderstood, it's really... you gave too much, I, I have never seen silver." The young vendor obviously realized that what he said made people misunderstood, so he hurriedly apologized to Xu Luo.

Xu Luo smiled, put the silver in the hands of the young vendor, then picked a bunch of the best and most sugar, pulled it off the bale, then turned around and walked towards the mother and daughter.

At this time, a chaotic voice suddenly came from a distance, and a domineering voice came: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, are all the sinners blind? If you block the way of Young Master An, can you afford to be guilty?"

boom

The crowds around scattered, and three or four horses were running wildly on the ancient bluestone road.

There is no intention of slowing down at all.

The one in the head was the one who made a domineering and arrogant voice, dressed as a servant, but the momentum on his face was stronger than that of an ordinary noble master.

Behind a tall and black horse, sitting a young man with a jade-like face, with an energetic expression on his face, high above and looking up.

The young man's eyes suddenly fell on the young woman, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "That little lady is good, take it away."

"Yes" The man dressed in a housekeeper in front of him responded with a loud voice, and rushed towards the young woman holding the little girl: "My young master has fallen in love with you, so why don't you kowtow and thank you quickly."

Xu Luo narrowed his eyes, and a burst of anger rose in his heart.

At this moment, a noise filled with envy and jealousy came from the crowd around.

Xu Luo was stunned for a moment.
