In the last era, there were many cultivators like Shu Ziqian who transformed into ginseng. They mingle with humans to keep warm.

They are gentle and kind, simple and sincere, and treat their friends with sincerity, like humble gentlemen, and human beings like them very much. Although their spirits can be separated from humans through divine thoughts, the two races are not separated from each other, and there has been a long honeymoon period. Instead of calling them ginseng essence, humans call them ginseng people.

Later, with the maturity of alchemy technology, the medicinal value of ginseng was discovered, and everything changed.

In the beginning, the human beings asked for the ginseng's hair, and the ginseng gave it. Later humans demanded their skin, limbs, flesh, and everything. The whole body of ginseng is a priceless treasure for human beings. Every part of their body will be an indispensable ingredient for a certain elixir.

At the beginning, the human race was to refine the pill to save their companions, and the ginseng endured. But later, in order to increase their cultivation a little bit, the major cultivators would massacre the ginseng people and use their flesh and blood to refine the elixir that increased their strength.

Human beings have a unique evil, which neither people nor demons can ever learn, that is, when the interests are big enough, human beings can say that what is white is black without any burden, and they can actually deceive their conscience.

At that time, many overhauls stood up and pointed out that the ginseng was actually an undercover agent of the demon forces that broke into the human race. Otherwise, why would youkai live with humans? It's obviously a huge conspiracy, and it's only because humans are so naïve that they've been deceived until now.

And several sneak attacks by demon forces on the cave where humans gather are considered to be ironclad evidence of collusion with the demon clan. Otherwise, why would such a hidden place be discovered?

It wasn't until a long time later that someone came forward to clarify that in fact, these places were discovered by the demon clan, and it was completely a traitor to the human race itself.

But at that time, almost everyone in humanity was convinced that it was undoubtedly the Sam who betrayed humanity.

And the painstaking smearing of the ginseng people by human beings is only to be able to feel at ease when slaughtering their former friends. This excuse doesn't work, there will always be other excuses. As long as humans are willing to believe, the evidence doesn't matter.

Countless human beings under the banner of subduing demons and eliminating demons swarmed out, and the ginseng people quickly disappeared. Most of them turned into priceless elixirs, and a small number of them fled to more secret places, completely cutting off contact with humans.

After the end of the flood and the ethereal era, the ancient Xuanmen was established. Under the joint instruction of the seventy-two masters, the cultivation realm conducted a deep reflection on this dusty public case. Fortunately, it wasn't long before humans discovered several gathering places in the far west, and the ginseng people did not perish, but their numbers were extremely rare compared to before.

Unfortunately, the Ginseng will never forget the betrayal and harm of humanity. They have a peaceful personality and do not want revenge, but they also do not want to join hands with humans again. Even if all the seventy-two heads of the Xuanmen came to apologize, they did not salvage this friendship.

This is one of the most unbearable memories of the cultivators of the previous era, in the Xuanmen inheritance obtained by Sun Xiang, many masters mentioned this matter, and they asked the latecomers: If this era is still alive, we must avoid the same mistake from happening again, remember to remember!

This is why the eldest Sun Xiang, the eldest of the heavens and the earth, unconsciously shortened his momentum by three points when he faced the ginseng Shu Ziqian. After all, he was the heir of the Xiuzhen civilization of the previous era, and the mistakes of the previous era also fell on him. Humanity has done a dirty thing, and that has to be admitted.

Ginseng does not forget hatred, just as they do not forget friends. Their memories will be passed on to the next generation through seeds, and Shu Ziqian knows these secrets for granted.

After the revival of the aura, the ginseng people buried deep in the ground awakened and walked on the earth in shape. They disdain to be in the company of demons, and they don't want to have any more entanglements with humans.

Under the leadership of Shu Ziqian, everyone found such a unique place to live in seclusion, living a mountain life without contention with the world, poor and quiet.

Until this little happiness is broken by a human who strayed in.

After Sun Xiang slowly finished telling the story of the ginseng, everyone present fell silent.

Sun Xiang asked, "Ye Cong, Pan Ziming, tell me your choice." ”

The fat man was straightforward, and he took a sip: "I just said that Xiaoqin is a good girl, Mr. Ye, we are doing the right thing!"

Ye Cong nodded, and said sincerely to Shu Ziqian: "Brother Shu, you tell the truth, we are on your side, why use that trick." ”

Shu Ziqian opened his mouth, and he wanted to retort sharply: Can you humans be trusted? Will you fight against your own kind for the sake of ginseng, not the other way around?

But the phrase was not uttered in the end.

Although the time spent together is short, if you want to say that Ye Cong and Pan Ziming are people who betrayed their friends, Shu Ziqian himself doesn't believe it. After all, if he really hates humans that much, there is a good chance that he can kill the two of them.

He knew very well in his heart that human beings are also good and bad.

But at this moment, the man who had been sitting on the ground raised his head tremblingly.

"Am I the only one who did something wrong?"

This person's name is Qi Jiantong, a former cultivator of Songhe City, with a rank in Tsing Yi and good strength. He strayed into the boundary of Ningquan Village more than ten days ago.

Unlike Ye Cong and Pan Ziming, he is a genuine cultivator, and he can see at a glance that the villagers of Ningquan are all monsters transformed into ginseng.

Ginseng becomes essence, and if you eat it, how much benefit it is, this is a truth that even ordinary people understand. The only problem is that Shu Ziqian, the leader of Ningquan Village, is stronger than him, so Qi Jiantong has been harassing the village in the past few days, in order to bypass Shu Ziqian and kidnap other villagers.

Like humans, there are not many people among the people who have awakened the talents of cultivators. They can transform into human beings, but only Shu Ziqian alone can fight.

"It's not that you're wrong, who else can it be?" Pan Ziming angrily went up and kicked him, "You are a real beast when you step on a horse, Xiaoqin is such a good girl, you also did it." ”

Seeing Shu Xiaoqin's right arm torn off, Pan Ziming's heart was about to break, he was a fat man who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade.

Ye Cong also said: "Ningquan Village has no grievances with you, what is the difference between you killing and devouring the villagers for your own selfish interests and those demons." ”

Qi Jiantong retorted: "I killed the demon clan, not a human. ”

"You're still ignoring you?"

Pan Ziming went up and burst the hammer. Qi Jiantong was depleted and seriously injured, so he could only roll on the ground with his head in his hands. When he rolled to Ye Cong's side, this master also gave him a kick, and Sun Xiang next to him didn't say anything anyway.

Qi Jiantong's screams were finally heard by another person in the cave, and a gray-haired old lady crawled out of the half-collapsed cave with difficulty.

She was blind and her ears were not working, so she didn't know what was going on outside. Only called anxiously in an old voice: "Son, what's wrong with you, my son!"

This unexpected situation made Pan Ziming and Ye Cong stop, Shu Ziqian kept saying that there were two monsters, and it seemed that this dying old lady was the other one. It turned out to be Qi Jiantong's old mother.

Taking advantage of Ye Cong's stopping, Qi Jiantong shouted in the direction of the old mother: "Mom, I'm fine, you go back!"

The old lady finally heard her son's words clearly, but she didn't crawl back according to her words, but persuaded bitterly: "Son, Mom's age has arrived, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the law of nature, don't bother to find those fairy herbs and elixirs to give Mom a life." Mom just wants to sleep quietly, so you don't hang on to my old life anymore. Be obedient, be obedient, and go back to Songhe City. ”

The old lady could not see that a group of people were beating her son, and she inevitably spoke lovingly and nagging like the usual mother-son conversation. It's just that in Qi Jiantong's opinion, it's even more uncomfortable than killing him directly. He didn't frown when he was fighting between cultivators, but suddenly there was an "old mother's love" in the middle of the fight, and he was so embarrassed that he vomited blood.

"You go back first!" Qi Jiantong roared again.

The old lady probably heard the anger in her son's tone, so she had to stop helplessly. When they are young, their children listen to themselves, and when they are old, their ears and eyes are inconvenient, and their legs and feet are inconvenient, so they can only let their children call the shots. The old lady crawled back slowly, and there was her humble bed in the cave. It's just that her mouth is still babbling:

"Suffer, suffer, suffer! Why doesn't God accept me and drag me down!"

Tranquility was restored in front of the cave again, only this time, even Pan Ziming lost the motivation to do it. It turned out that Qi Jiantong kidnapped the ginseng people not at all to eat it for himself to increase his cultivation, but to save his old mother. It's a very confusing situation. He scratched his head in a tangle, not knowing what to do.

Is Shu Ziqian wrong? Of course not. He was only there to protect his kindred. His sister was brutally murdered, and of course he was desperate. Even if he is here to build the same sword, it is completely justified.

Is Qi Jiantong wrong? Perhaps. But what he did was not for himself, but for his dying mother. Chinese people pay attention to filial piety first, as children, in order to fulfill filial piety, even if it is a big mistake, others can not bear to be too harsh.

Not to mention Ye Cong and Pan Ziming, even Shu Ziqian, the victim, sighed after understanding the cause and effect.

If Xiaoqin is seriously ill and can only recover by eating a human being? Shu Ziqian knew that he would definitely kill someone.

No one expected that in this cruel hunt and killing, there was no difference between good and evil and right and wrong, only what everyone had to do.

No one is qualified to judge them.

"That's it, everyone go back to their own homes?" Pan Ziming asked sullenly, as if he couldn't continue.

Shu Ziqian hugged his sister, and he already had a sense of going in his heart. It's no wonder that the flesh and blood of ginseng can be cured.

Ye Cong looked at Sun Xiang, he felt that the wise Lord Sun Xiang would definitely be able to solve everyone's doubts.

The head of Sun Da suggested to Shu Ziqian: "I'll take the little girl's hand first." ”
