The road back will always be farther than the road when we came and will walk longer.

The sudden parting can easily make people feel sad, and the confusion about the unknown can easily make people hesitate.

But this is not Xia Sheng.

He has experienced too many separations of life and death, and too many sadness in spring and autumn, so he is extremely calm at this time.

But inadvertently, I still felt a little sad.

Not for yourself, but for those who have disappeared in a hurry.

He didn't know where they were and whether they were safe or not.

When he came, he was still sitting in the spacious carriage, smiling and making noise with them. Even if he was not good at speaking, he was so honest that people couldn't help laughing.

But now, only Dandan and Qiusang are left beside him.

Overnight, Destiny once again played an extremely vicious joke on Xia Sheng in his life.

At this time, Xia Sheng's physical condition was very bad. Not to mention a powerful man at the imperial level, even the warrior Xiao Yong could kill him with one palm.

But Xia Sheng's steps were extremely steady, and the perseverance in his eyes was as strong as before, without seeing any pain. He walked step by step on the road ahead illuminated by the stars and moon.

Qiongsang was lying in Xia Sheng's arms, and his breath became weaker than before, because if he left the earth, if he could not integrate into Xia Sheng's spiritual orifices in time, he would probably wither and wither soon until he died.

But Xia Sheng didn't dare to leave it rashly.

Now the entire Forgetful Forest has been destroyed. The Qiangsang stands tall on the wasteland with one branch. It is too eye-catching. Even if the killers may return, as long as a spiritual practitioner passes by by chance, it is easy to find the existence of Qiangsang.

Not every spiritual practitioner can recognize the preciousness of the tree of life.

Not every spiritual practitioner is like Xia Sheng, who has awe of all life in the world.

For most spiritual practitioners in this world, the so-called spiritual objects are just objects, or rather slaves, not fighters, or even friends.

Xia Sheng dared not take this risk and let Qiusang fall into the hands of others.

Fortunately, because of the decline of the state of Qiongsang, his demand for nutrients has decreased. If it was normal, Xia Sheng wanted to bring it back to the back mountain, but it would be a small task.

However, with his current state, can he rush back to Baima Town in time and return to the back mountain to nurture the spiritual spring?

The only one who knows this answer is Xia Sheng himself.

After walking in the wilderness for about two or three hours, Xia Sheng stopped for the first time. The waves ahead were sparkling, and the light reflected by the bright moon from the lake gave people a quiet and peaceful feeling.

Finally returned to Yangjiao Lake.

Xia Sheng turned his head and looked at Dandan who was following him, with a look of apology on his face: "I can only get here. The next journey depends on you."

Dandan couldn't answer Xia Sheng's words, so it directly expressed its attitude with its own actions.

Dandan walked slowly to Xia Sheng, then squatted down a little funny, and retracted the long legs that looked like chicken feet into the eggshell.

Xia Sheng smiled indifferently, then leaned forward and leaned on Dandan's body. Although it was a little slippery, Xia Sheng still tried hard to maintain balance and pressed his entire body against the shell wall.

The next moment, Dandan stood up again, staggered for two steps, and stepped on two shallow maple leaf marks on the soft ground.

One step, two steps...

In this way, one person and one egg began its final trek.

Xia Sheng lay on Dandan's body, the cold touch rushed into his heart, which made his mind clearer.

But he did not waste his energy recalling the scenes that had happened before, but opened his eyes as wide as possible and paid attention to the movements around him vigilantly.

The closer you are to success, the more dangerous it is.

Xia Sheng has always understood this principle. So he was very worried that the killers did not stay away, but were ambushed on the way to Baima Town, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Fortunately, Xia Sheng's concerns were not realized. When Dandan carried him back outside Baima Town, the sky was almost dawn.

The town is quiet and peaceful as ever.

Although Xia Sheng was worried about his father in his heart, the most urgent task was his own injuries and letting Qiusang survive, so he did not choose to go to the city, but let Dandan carry him to continue to march back mountain.

It was at this moment that a strong warning suddenly flashed in Xia Sheng's eyes.

Because he just turned around, he saw two blurred figures appearing directly in front of him.

"Don't stop, keep going."

Xia Sheng's voice had begun to become weak, but with his strong willpower, he forced himself to sit up, gently lowered his head, covering up the fatigue in his eyes.

When he got closer, he realized that the person who came was not the killer he had seen in the Forgetful Forest before.

But two strangers, one man and one woman.

It seemed to be a couple, the man was holding a skinny foal, while the woman was riding sickly on the horse, holding a floral bag in her hand, looking shaky.

I have to say that even as a strange beast, Dandan's shape was too cool, so it attracted the man's attention at the first time, and then he looked at Xia Sheng sitting on Dandan.

Xia Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but there was no expression on his face, and he even nodded to the other party.

Who would have thought that the man came over and asked Xia Sheng: "This little brother, is the Baima Town in Qianshi?"

Xia Sheng did not respond, but just nodded casually, as if he seemed a little impatient.

Seeing this, the man seemed to feel bored and replied with a smile: "Thank you."

Then he passed by Xia Sheng with his horse and did not pay any attention to Xia Sheng. Instead, the sick woman looked Dandan with interest.

It immediately made Xia Sheng feel like a cold light on his back.

It was not until the couple completely disappeared from sight that Xia Sheng took a heavy breath, and then he could no longer hold on and fell back on Dandan's body.

And his back was soaked with a layer of fine cold sweat.

At the same time, the couple finally arrived outside the gate of Baima Town. The man seemed to be thinking about his previous encounter with Xia Sheng.

He spoke with some regret: "I always feel that there is a strange thing about the boy who should have stopped him just now."

However, the woman on the horse was scolded sternly: "Where you come from this trip, you should not be careless, and you should not be complicated. It is important to do serious things!"

A wry smile appeared on the man's face and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, the news we came out this time is only known to the Venerable in the hall, and it has blocked all the news from the outside, and it is impossible for the news to be leaked."

The woman deliberately lowered her voice: "No matter what, be careful about everything. If he escapes this time, what will happen if he goes back? I believe you know better than me!"

As he said that, the woman took out a wrinkled portrait from her bag, with a handsome young man on it. Although the appearance of the person in the portrait has changed a lot after sixteen years, she can still see some familiar shadows from the expression between her eyebrows and the scattered facial features.

If Xia Sheng got this portrait, he would probably recognize it at a glance that the person above was nothing but his father, Xia Hong!
