Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 351: Going Home

After leaving the Mysterious Palace Tower, Chen Chuan directly got on the overpass. After driving for more than an hour, he arrived at the checkpoint leaving the city.

The Boundary Token flickered, and the checkpoint was passed directly without stopping. He drove out of the city and gradually left the flashing lights of Central City behind.

At this time, it was pitch black in front of him, with only the street lights illuminating the road ahead. He chose to leave at midnight so that he could arrive in Yang Zhi early tomorrow morning.

After about ten minutes, the Boundary Token rustled, and no sound came out again. He took it off and put it in a pre-prepared box, and then reached out and turned on the radio channel.

At this time, in addition to receiving some midnight programs from Central City, there were also self-established channels of armed teams in the wilderness, almost all heavy metal music, occasionally mixed with bursts of wailing.

He listened for a while and felt it was too noisy, so he immediately changed the channel, but he didn't know if something was wrong. At this moment, the radio only made a rustling sound, and he couldn't tune into any sound.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be an additional person in the seat behind him.

His face was very calm. He didn't look in the rearview mirror and continued to turn the channel. After a while, a normal fast rhythm music started playing. This was the National Highway Checkpoint channel, which played this kind of music throughout the whole journey to remind people to drive safely.

As the music appeared in the car, that feeling also disappeared.

At this time, he looked up at the rearview mirror again, and the back seat was empty.

He came out alone, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to be there, so that should be the strange phenomenon he perceived after entering the Third Limit.

According to "Zhu Yi Kao (Study of Various Anomalies)", these things may appear from time to time, often popping up inadvertently and infiltrating the life of a Martial Artist. No wonder some Martial Artists' spirits become abnormal because of this.

They are already a highly sensitive and vigilant group, and it is easy for them to have problems when this kind of thing happens from time to time.

"Zhu Yi Kao" says that the more you care about this thing, the more likely it is to be enriched and detailed, so you only need to "strictly guard your Steady Spirit and ignore it", and "in the long run, the strange phenomena will defeat themselves".

In his opinion, the current stage is when one has just achieved it, and the spirit is insufficient, but one can perceive more things than ordinary people. This is the most fragile period. When the spirit is slowly nourished and full, it will naturally be unshakable.

However, Martial Artists who only focus on grasping Essence Blood probably don't have this kind of trouble. Only those with outstanding talent or who train their Steady Spirit will often encounter it.

But if you want to go higher, you still have to take this step.

It seems like another way to go after consolidating Essence Blood, but this road is just as difficult.

At this time, he glanced at the passenger seat and saw that Zhao Ming, who was originally lying on the driver's seat and bouncing happily all the way, had fallen asleep there at some point.

He smiled, turned down the music a little, and listened to the soothing music, driving slowly along the road.

Five hours later, it was already after six in the morning. The red sun rose from the horizon on one side, and the bright light fell on the car. Only his car was driving on the wide and endless road, like the only moving thing in a still picture.

With a chirp, Zhao Ming woke up and made a melodious cry to the distant sun, then climbed onto the passenger seat and looked around excitedly.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the Jiade car arrived at the last checkpoint and slowly stopped here. After passing here, the area of Yangzhi City was ahead.

Going from Yang Zhi to Central City may require a long inspection, but going from Central City through here is not so troublesome.

A checkpoint police officer came up. He handed out his identity card. The checkpoint police officer saw that he was wearing a Processing Bureau uniform, took the card and looked at it, then took the initiative to give a salute, handed the card back, and said, "Executive Officer Chen, Yang Zhi is ahead. I wish you a smooth journey."

Chen Chuan took it, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

He restarted the vehicle, left the checkpoint, and continued driving along this road. At a little after seven in the morning, he finally entered the area of Yangzhi City.

Looking at the familiar trees and buildings around, and the sparse pedestrians in the early morning, although this place is not as prosperous and tall as Central City, it gave him an unspeakable sense of intimacy.

Back here, he suddenly wanted to go to the places he used to stay and visit, and see the people and things he hadn't seen for a long time.

He slightly increased his speed. More than half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the family area of the Patrol Bureau and stopped the car slowly at the sentry post outside, and slowly lowered the car window.

He had already called before coming, and it was a holiday today, so they should all be at home.

He reached out and pushed the car door open, got out of the car, tidied up his uniform, and took a deep breath looking at the familiar alleys and buildings ahead.

Walking to the back of the car, he took out the suitcase and called Zhao Ming. The latter chirped and jumped onto his shoulder, looking around.

At this time, a team of police officers responsible for security guards happened to pass by. One of them saw him and said uncertainly, "Chen...Little Chen?"

Chen Chuan glanced at him and recognized that he was a police officer who often patrolled this area before, and nodded, "Brother Wang, it's me."

"It's really you!" Brother Wang showed a surprised expression. "Looking at your clothes, tsk tsk, I almost didn't recognize you. You...are you back from Central City?"

Chen Chuan said, "Yes, the Academy is on holiday, and I'm back to see Little aunt and uncle."

Brother Wang said, "Back to see Team Leader Nian's family, good, good..."

Chen Chuan pulled his suitcase and walked inside, and behind him came the sound of police officers discussing.

"Let me tell you, that's Little Chen, who was admitted to the Central City Headquarters last year, Team Leader Nian's nephew."

"That's Little Chen, huh, really spirited. I felt like I couldn't breathe when he walked over just now. Even Director Guan doesn't have this prestige in front of him."

"Isn't that right? A Martial Artist who can be admitted to the Central City Wu Yi Main Academy can't be simple. Looking at his clothes, he probably has some errand in the Central City Processing Bureau."

"Isn't he going to study?"

"Are you stupid? Wu Yi School teachers can hold a position in the Processing Bureau, why can't a Main Academy student?"

"An errand in Central City..."

A group of police officers were extremely envious. Although they had never been to Central City, they were extremely yearning for it. However, they just thought about it in their hearts. Everyone understood that without a formal identity, going there would also be suffering.

At this moment, when Chen Chuan walked through the alley, many neighbors also saw him.

"Little Chuan? Is it Little Chuan?"

Chen Chuan responded with a smile.

Someone said, "Don't call him Little Chuan. Look at his dress and demeanor. He has a position in Central City. From now on, you have to call him Sir or Officer."

"Even if he's an officer, he's still someone we watched grow up. We should call him whatever we want..."

These words led someone to joke, "No wonder you always call him "Big Head', "Big Head' behind his back?"

That person panicked immediately, "Don't talk nonsense. When did I say that..."

At this time, a clever child, taken care of by his parents, ran to Nian Fuli's door and said, "Uncle Nian, Cousin Little Chuan is back from Central City!"

The door creaked open. Immediately afterwards, Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, leading Nian Mo and Nian Lu, came out from inside. The family was obviously waiting for him, and walked out as soon as they heard the news.

Chen Chuan looked over. After not seeing them for more than half a year, Nian Fuli had gained a little weight, Little aunt was still the same as before, and the two little guys had obviously grown a lot taller. The family of four was all wearing new clothes.

He let go of the suitcase, walked up to them, and looked at Nian Fuli and Yu Wan and said, "Little aunt, uncle, I'm back."

Yu Wan walked up and grabbed his hand, looked at him carefully, and then reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his body. Her eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.

At this time, Chen Chuan put his arm around Yu Wan's shoulder and said, "Little aunt, I'm back."

Yu Wan wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and nodded repeatedly.

Nian Fuli said, "When I received your call yesterday that you were coming back, your Little aunt couldn't sleep all night, nagging about when you would arrive. I said what's the hurry, Little Chuan has stayed in Central City for so long, what's the matter with just a little longer."

Yu Wan said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just miss Chan'er." She looked at Chen Chuan, "You look a little taller and thinner than before, but your spirit is even better than before."

"Hello, Cousin!"

The two little guys, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, came up to greet him at this time, but most of their attention was on Zhao Ming. Their eyes were sparkling. Zhao Ming was not afraid at all, and chirped at them. The two little guys said "wow" in unison.

Nian Lu looked up at him and said, "Cousin, can I touch it?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said to Zhao Ming, "Go and play with them." Zhao Ming was very smart and immediately understood what he meant. He left his shoulder and jumped to the little guys. The two little guys caught him with a "wow" sound.

Nian Fuli looked at it and asked strangely, "Little Chuan, what did you bring back?"

Chen Chuan said, "This is Niaoxi, an artificially cultivated animal in Central City. It is very smart and can guard the house, but it is still small now."

Nian Fuli nodded and said, "It's good to be able to guard the house. You live alone in Central City, so you have to be careful. No matter how capable you are, you must keep a few more things in mind."

Chen Chuan agreed very much: "Uncle is right."

Yu Wan pushed the two of them at this time, "The sun is strong outside, you two, go inside and talk."

Chen Chuan said okay and walked into the door with Little aunt's family close together, while his younger cousins jumped and jumped in, holding Zhao Ming, and cheerfully shouted, "Cousin is back, Cousin is back..."
