C3 The Destruction of the Bai Village
Soon, Mu Xuan would reach the hill in front of him.
"Eh? Why isn't there the sound of the Big Yellow Dog?" Mu Xuan's heart was beating wildly. Could it be that the black-clothed man had betrayed him and killed my Big Yellow Dog?
Mu Xuan hurriedly ran away.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the hill. It was only seven o'clock. The man in black and the Big Yellow Dog were nowhere to be seen. Mu Xuan had even made a fire break at the original place. After carefully looking at the place where the cage had been placed, there were no traces at all.
Mu Xuan was about to go crazy. He hurriedly shouted loudly, but no one answered him.
"Could it be that the sky is too dark, and he brought the Big Yellow Dog to the village?" Mu Xuan comforted himself.
After that, he quickly climbed over the hill and ran towards the village.
Just as he climbed over the hill, Mu Xuan suddenly felt a trace of peace.
Hmm? Why was the whole village pitch black tonight? Silence? It revealed a strange and tranquil feeling, and there was actually a slight smell of fresh blood drifting over in the air.
Not good, something had happened to the village!
Mu Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and his breathing became slightly hurried. Could it be that this matter was related to the black-clothed man?
Mu Xuan felt extreme pain in his heart, and he hurriedly increased his pace as he ran towards the village.
The closer he got to the village, the more flustered Mu Xuan became. However, that trace of rationality in his heart told him that he had to calm down at this moment. Mu Xuan slowly stopped, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his heart. He quickly moved towards the entrance of the village.
When he was about to pass through a patch of low shrubs and reach the entrance of the village, Mu Xuan was suddenly shocked. His heart skipped a beat. Mu Xuan quickly stopped his right leg, which was just about to walk out of the shrubbery, and squatted down. A strand of golden silk that was as thin as a strand of hair was stretched across the edge of the bush, and there was a hint of fragrance coming out from it.
"Golden silk? Fragrance?" Mu Xuan frowned. He picked up the blade of the axe and gently touched the golden silk.
"Ding!" The blade of the axe immediately cut a hole. The hole instantly turned black and the golden silk did not break at all.
Mu Xuan was shocked, "It's poisonous! The golden silk was extremely sharp. No matter how hard it was, it could be cut in an instant. Blades, swords, iron, and human bodies were so sharp, but it also added venom. It's really going to kill people. It's sinister and vicious!" Mu Xuan's heart was filled with anger, and his face was so gloomy that it was dripping water. If he hadn't felt nervous all of a sudden, he would have felt that something was wrong. He carefully squatted down to check, and today, he was going to die here.
"Could this have something to do with the man in black?" Mu Xuan's heart was filled with panic. However, his only trace of rationality told him that he had to calm down.
Mu Xuan calmed down once again.
He had to put this sinister golden silk under his skin, otherwise, it would be unimaginable for others to pass by. Mu Xuan followed the golden silk to touch the iron darts that were stuck in the ground and pulled them out one by one. Under the moonlight, Mu Xuan saw a small word on the iron dart: "Blood." Mu Xuan's heart tightened. Could it be the legendary blood?
Mu Xuan did not dare to imagine. Could that black-clothed man be?
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret. Why did I trust that man in black so easily? I should have told my father when I returned to the village. Sigh!
Mu Xuan's heart tightened even more. He quickly returned to the village to take a look at the situation. He carefully dropped the poisonous golden silk and iron darts, wrapped them in cloth bags, and continued to touch the village.
The moonlight was somewhat pale, and this peaceful silence seemed even stranger. Mu Xuan touched the entrance of the village, and the smell of blood became thicker. He immediately saw the Big Yellow Dog lying under the Bai Jia Village's plaque!
"It really is the Big Yellow Dog!" At this moment, the Big Yellow Dog's body was covered in blood, and it didn't move at all.
Mu Xuan's face was deathly pale, and it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart was beating wildly.
"Father!" Mu Xuan suddenly realized what was happening. He shouted loudly and quickly ran towards his own house.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound.
Mu Xuan quickly stopped and dodged to the side. He raised his axe to block the attack.
"Clang! An iron dart fell to the ground.
"Eh?! He really has some skill!" A black clothed person suddenly flew out from behind the plaque and chuckled. "You actually managed to dodge my golden silkworm's broken leg and my iron dart!"
"Kid, you're too slow. The Big Yellow Dog can't wait to take a step first. Now it's your turn." The black-clothed man revealed an expression as if he was looking at a corpse.
"You, you bad guy. You killed my Big Yellow Dog! What did you do to our Bai Jia Village? " Mu Xuan's voice trembled as he tried his best to stabilize his body.
The black-robed man let out a sinister laugh, "Hmph, kid. If you want to know why, go to the Netherworld and ask your villagers. See if the Minor Blood Spell I secretly learned is effective! "
Mu Xuan was shocked. Not good, it's a cultivator who knows demonic spells. How can I resist it?
The black-clothed man formed a seal with both of his hands and muttered something. In front of him, there were seven blood threads that looked like snakes. They quickly swam towards Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan was shocked and wanted to turn around to escape, but those seven snake-like blood threads actually imprisoned both of Mu Xuan's legs and guided the blood in Mu Xuan's body to flow quickly. They rushed towards his bloodline and wanted to flow out from his seven orifices.
At this critical moment, the dragon claw in Mu Xuan's head suddenly shone brightly. A "claw" shaped light rushed out of his head and went straight towards the seven snake like blood threads. Once it touched them, the "claw" struck the black-clothed man's chest.
"Dragon claw!"
The black-clothed man was hit by the 'dragon claw'. His eyes were filled with fear. Before his miserable cry could reach far, his entire body melted and disappeared.
Mu Xuan was still in shock. "Uh..." It seemed like the cymbidium in his brain had saved him.
"Father..." Mu Xuan's heart suddenly jumped. He immediately ran away.
Mu Xuan's family was the second family in the village. The first family was Uncle Shen's family, who was a carpenter, and the third family was Uncle Lin's family. When they passed Uncle Shen's house, they saw Uncle Shen lying face down in a pool of blood at the door. Mu Xuan went forward to help Uncle Shen, but he was shocked to see Uncle Shen's blood being sucked dry like a dried corpse.
Mu Xuan's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with grief. Father! He hurriedly ran towards his home.
As soon as he entered, Mu Xuan saw his father, Huo Yuanzheng, lying beside the hall. His face was like a dried corpse, and there was no blood on his face. His left arm was slightly bent as he pointed in front of him.
Mu Xuan felt like he had been struck by lightning, and he fell to his knees beside Hopper with a thud. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
"Father, father!"
"Father, wake up!"
"What's going on! Could it be that the man in black did it? Why did the Bai Jia Village suffer such a great calamity!?"
" Father, father, this unfilial child caused you to suffer a great disaster, causing the Bai Jia Village to suffer a great disaster! "
"Ahhhh!"
A shrill cry of grief resounded throughout the Bai Jia Village, echoing through the clouds.
Under this great grief, Mu Xuan didn't care if there were any other black-clothed men hiding in the shadows or not. Perhaps this was better. He could lure them here and let them kill him.
A wave of grief and indignation slowly rose with Mu Xuan's shrill cry.
One wave, two waves, three waves.
The resentment of all the villagers who had died in the Bai Jia Village slowly rose up into the air. There were a total of 108 waves. All of them condensed together, turning into a condensed and terrifying resentment that slowly began to fall. They followed the shrill cries and silently drilled into the body of the only person alive within the Bai Jia Village, Mu Xuan.
"Father! Father!"
Mu Xuan held Hopper in his arms. Both of his eyes were red, and he looked depressed.
Suddenly, he saw blood on his father's right palm. Two blurry words could be seen through the moonlight. One word was "blood."
Another word was "blood?" Mu Xuan's heart trembled.
The other word was "Devil!"
"Could it be the legendary Blood Demon Sect?"
Mu Xuan took out an iron dart from his bag. The word "blood" could be clearly seen on it.
He quickly turned the back of the iron dart and a "devil" word appeared. It seemed like he didn't pay attention to the back of the iron dart when he was hiding in the shadows of the bushes. This should be a Blood Demon Sect.
"That man in black is from the Blood Demon Sect! That black-clothed man lied to me. It was the Blood Demon Sect that destroyed the Bai Jia Village! "
"I, Mu Xuan, am irreconcilable with your Blood Demon Sect, that black-clothed man! I will definitely destroy your sect! I will kill that black-clothed man! I will pay for my father's blood debt for the Bai Jia Village!" A flame of hatred appeared in Mu Xuan's eyes.
Mu Xuan looked at his father's left hand once again. There was also a blood word on his left hand, "Clothes!"
What did the word "clothes" mean?
Mu Xuan suddenly remembered that his father had collapsed in the hall. His left arm was slightly bent as he pointed in front of him.
"Could it be that he has a finger?"
Mu Xuan knelt on the ground and followed the direction of his father's left arm. It was the entrance to the hall. It was a long stone stepping on the door.
"Could it be that there is something under the Long-Striped Door Stone?"
Mu Xuan slowly put down his father and used the moonlight to remove the two doors. He picked up the axe and lifted the stone. There was indeed a brocade leather bag under the stone bar.
Mu Xuan's heart raced. He suddenly remembered that he had heard from his father a few days ago that on his 18th birthday, his mother would give him a token.
"Could it be that this is a token left behind by mother?"
Mu Xuan's hands trembled as he carefully took out the leather bag. Sure enough, it was a damaged "clothing." Its limbs were broken, and only the vital parts of its body were still fine. The clothes were sparkling and translucent, and specks of starlight could be seen. The symbols on the surface of the clothes were sparkling, and it was obvious that it wasn't an ordinary item.
Mu Xuan looked at the damaged 'clothes' in his hand, and the grief in his heart became even more intense.
"Mother, father has left!"
He couldn't hold back his tears for a long time. Suddenly, her eyes shot out and dripped onto the damaged treasured clothing.
The precious clothes suddenly flourished with symbols. With a swoosh, they disappeared and entered Mu Xuan's body, quickly merging into his skin. Mu Xuan suddenly felt as if there was an extra armor on the outer layer of his skin. Mu Xuan knew that his mother had left him a treasure that he had never seen before.
"How could mother have a treasure? Could it be that mother is an immortal?"
Mu Xuan didn't have the mood to continue thinking.
"Father, it's all my fault. It was my fault for causing all of you harm. It was my unfilial son. I should have run back to the village. Tell everyone that a man in black has come. With your experience, father, you will definitely know that the situation is abnormal. Who knows, we might be able to escape this calamity!"
" Father, I have let you down. I have let down the Bai Jia Village! " At this moment, Mu Xuan actually blamed everything on himself. If it wasn't for his innocence, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
Mu Xuan was filled with grief as he desperately kowtowed on the limestone floor. In an instant, blood flowed down his forehead and filled his face.
"Father, your child was stupid. He killed you and your fellow villagers."
"Father, your child is unfilial. Your child deserves to die!"
Just like that, Mu Xuan fainted from his grief and self-blame.
In the middle of the night, Mu Xuan woke up again and continued to cry.
"Father, it's gone. Where's mother? I'm the only one left. I'm an orphan now!"
Mu Xuan kneeled down on the ground and let out a sorrowful cry towards the sky."
After a long, long time, the sky was already bright.
Mu Xuan knelt beside his father. His eyes were dull as he muttered, "Father is dead. Uncle Lin is dead. Uncle Shen is dead. Ru Wan had disappeared. Everyone else in the village had died. All of these were my fault. All of these are my fault! "
" Ah! " Mu Xuan let out a violent cry of grief. The pain went through his liver and intestines, and then he suddenly got up and slammed his head against the wall. He wanted to use his death to atone for his crime!
Buzz ~ ~
Suddenly, Mu Xuan was bounced back. It turned out that the treasured clothing on his body emitted a burst of light, bouncing him back.
"Mother doesn't want me to die?" Mu Xuan was stunned. "She wants me to avenge my father and the villagers?"
Mu Xuan's heart suddenly moved. Right, how can I die? Even if I have to die, I have to kill those men in black and the person who slaughtered the Bai Jia Village first.
Mu Xuan just sat there quietly, looking at his father's corpse.
In an instant, he thought of his father yesterday, the Bai Jia Village from yesterday.
There were 108 families with different surnames in Bai Jia Village. It belonged to the larger village at the foot of the mountain nearby. Mu Xuan's family lived near the village. Usually, the villagers had friendly relations with each other. There was only one old father in Mu Xuan's family. His father was very young, and his surname was Huo, Yuan Zheng. He was a very good person in the village, and he was very honest.
When Mu Xuan was young, he had asked his father why his surname wasn't Huo. His father fondly stroked Mu Xuan's hair and said, You and your mother's surname is Mu.
Mu Xuan asked his mother again? Huo Yuanzheng gave Mu Xuan a meaningful look, then looked at the distant starry sky. Your mother is waiting for you from a very far place! After your 18th birthday, I will give you a token that your mother left for you. So this token is that treasured clothing.
Mu Xuan thoughtfully looked at the spot where his father's finger was pointing at, the starry sky! Was his mother really there?
When he thought of this, Mu Xuan's eyes looked towards the distant starry sky! His eyes were filled with grief and longing.
In a few days, it would be his eighteenth birthday. Apart from the token that his father had prepared for his mother, there was also another person who had prepared a gift for him.
It was Lin Ru Wan, who was next door.
Mu Xuan and Ru Wan grew up together as childhood sweethearts. When Ru Wan was young, she often brought some delicious pastries from home to Mu Xuan. When Mu Xuan was naughtily chased and beaten by Hopper, Ru Wan would always help Mu Xuan find a place to hide and would coyly shout at Hopper, "Uncle Huo, please spare Elder Brother Xuan this time! If he dared to make a mistake again, this little girl, Ru Wan, will accompany Uncle Huo to teach him! " After saying that, her delicate little face smiled and did not forget to blink.
Every time at this moment, Hopper would always be soft-hearted and smile as he said, "Just you and Mu Xuan, when did he get such a blessing!"
Uncle Lin, who was next door, once joked that he wanted to marry his most beloved daughter, Ru Wan, to Mu Xuan.
Thinking of this, Mu Xuan felt an intense pain in his heart.
"Ru Wan disappeared! Why did Ru Wan disappear? Ru Wan probably did not have a good ending either. Ru Wan grew up together with her childhood friend, and Ru Wan was always on Mu Xuan's side. How could Mu Xuan not feel pain in his heart?
" The man in black! Blood Demon Sect! It must be the Blood Demon Sect. This kind of demonic method of extracting blood and turning it into a dried up corpse must have been done by this kind of evil sect. If it really is you, Blood Demon Sect, who destroyed my Bai Jia Village! I, Mu Xuan, swear here that I will exterminate your entire family! I will slaughter your entire sect! I will avenge my father, Ru Wan, Uncle Lin, and all the villagers who died in vain in the Bai Jia Village! Revenge!" When Mu Xuan thought of his enemy who had destroyed the village, he became furious. He wished he could immediately drink his blood and eat his flesh.
After noon, Mu Xuan counted all the residents in the village. Only Ru Wan and the other three young girls disappeared. The rest of the villagers, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, all 108 families had died.
Mu Xuan came to the village entrance, picked up the axe and the tools, and started digging without saying a word.
One, two, three, one hundred times. Two hundred, three hundred, one thousand, two thousand. Three thousand times. Mu Xuan's hands grinded into cocoons, blistered, and turned into bloody hands. Even his father's grave was dug with both hands.
For three days and three nights, he personally carried the corpses of every villager and buried them here. Including his father and Uncle Lin. He erected tombstones for every villager. With bloodshot eyes, Mu Xuan knelt in front of the graves of the 108 families. He knelt in front of his father's grave and did not get up for a long time.
