Chapter 58: Time 3
Jiang Li left the village with the thin old man, and she didn't look back from beginning to end. I don't know what happened to Zhang Dahu and the other villagers, she thought to herself. The breeze swept across her face, and the strands of blood were stuck together and scattered on her forehead. From this moment on, Sholi is already dead, and after that, there is only the terrifying first female assassin of the Southern Exotic Country, the surviving Ji.
The glamorous grass has been buried deep in the bottom of my heart, and what is buried together is the girl's crystal clear youth. In the time since, she has stood on the top of blood and fire, and the white bones under the sword are piled up. It wasn't until many years later that she learned that it was the Venerable Kuzen Master who rescued her that day, and that the alien and the human were destined not to live together under the same blue sky.
After being rescued by the Venerable Master Kuzen, he returned to the Inhuman world at the bottom of the sea, worshiped Kuzen as his father-in-law, and devoted himself to cultivating secret methods. Time flies, the vicissitudes of life, and three years later, a female killer named Ji's name was born, shocking the entire southern foreign country and the major sects of cultivation in the world. She is ruthless and strong, and she is sent by Kuzen to carry out various top-secret tasks. No one knows where she came from, and no one knows her past, only that she has a monstrous hatred for human beings, especially for those who cultivate the true Tao, and she will not tolerate mercy, as if the demon of the Nine Shadows is reincarnated, and where she passes, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and there is no grass.
This kind of life lasted for ten years.
In the past ten years, she has become a machine that only knows how to kill. It's just that I don't know when, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, there are a little tears on the pillow. Whenever she looked up at the blue sunlight in the Inhuman world alone, a gentle murmuring sound sounded in her ears, haunting her dreams and crying.
"Come away, my mother sings to you......"
"Will leave the grass, early twilight, you are like a breeze and a concubine, when will you meet again, you will be Qiao, I will be Qiao ......"
"You are a woodcutter, I am a Joe ......"

The man picked a few wild fruits from outside, put them beside him, and left. He ate casually, and then fell asleep again. She originally thought that the man would not come again, but she did not expect that from this day on, the man would come to the cave on time every morning, and every day he would prepare different food for the general, sometimes unknown fruits, sometimes some white porridge and steamed buns, and so on. The man is familiar with medical skills, often decocting medicine in the cave, and will leave and ignore him, unwilling to talk to him, but the man is also happy, feeding and changing the medicine every day. Under the man's careful conditioning, Jiangli's injuries gradually improved.
In the blink of an eye, the time of the half moon passed quietly. On this day, as usual, the man made a fire at night to cook. Today, he went to the field to catch a fat chicken, which was roasting on the fire at this time, with a slight aroma that tempted the appetite. Suddenly, a sharp cold appeared on his neck, and the man collapsed to the ground in fright, turning his head to look at the beautiful woman in the cave in a daze. At this time, he was more than half recovered, and a long sword rested on the man's shoulder, and the edge cut the skin on the side of his neck slightly, oozing a wisp of blood.
"I said I'd kill you when I got better. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can fulfill them for you. ”
The man froze, as if he didn't expect her to really kill herself, Deng was a little frightened, and his voice trembled unconsciously, "You...... You...... I saved you kindly, how can you ......" The woman didn't answer, kicked the man to the ground, the long sword was on his neck again, the strength of his hand increased a little, and he said coldly: "I'll say it one last time, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes." The man's eyes were full of despair, and he looked at the woman with a sneer, and after a while, like a deflated ball, he said astringently: "I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I was adopted and raised by the villagers of Wengcao Village, I ...... I only hope that after death, someone will take care of them for me......" The man's voice was low, his face showed unwillingness, and a few drops of grease dripped from the roast chicken, making a splashing and crackling sound in the firelight, and the fragrance diffused in the little night.
"Where is Weng Cao Village? ”
"It's ten miles north from here. ”
The woman stopped talking, and raised the long sword in her hand, the blue light flashing like a brilliant gem. The man lowered his eyelids helplessly, and his heart was full of bitterness. There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the long sword stopped three inches above the man's head, but it did not fall.
The night was as cold as water, and the sky was full of dark clouds. There was no moonlight in the sky, only a few sparse bits of starlight struggling to break through the shackles of the dark clouds. Above the desolate wilderness, there was a dead silence, except for a slight firelight in a cave.
The woman raised her eyes at the entrance of the cave to look at the sky, the night breeze was blowing, her clothes and hair fluttered behind her, and the faint fragrance was spreading. The woman's eyes were full of loneliness and confusion, and she looked into the distance in a daze.
The world is so big, where should I go?
In the past ten years, she has overcome all obstacles for Kuzen and swept away all obstacles on the way forward. However, she was already completely disgusted with such a life. During an assassination attempt, the group of killers she led succeeded in eliminating a small sect of human cultivation, and when she finally killed the master, she was shocked to find a little girl, looking at her with frightened and helpless eyes. At that moment, her heart clenched, as if she had been hammered, her simple eyes, and the flowers she held in her hands were exactly who she was back then.
Back then, I was the same standing in the grass, watching my father's body fall straight in front of me, the world completely lost its color at that moment, the helplessness, the despair, the heart-rending pain, just like her.
The sword in her hand could no longer fall, but the girl still did not escape the fate of death, and the assassins behind her swarmed up, and no one in the entire sect survived.
The great wheel of fate is rolling slowly, and the people walking on the road have forgotten the deepest throbbing at the beginning.
What is the difference between what he is doing now and the young people who killed his clan back then?
After returning to the southern foreign country, she proposed to Kuzen that she did not want to live this life of licking blood at the tip of the knife again, and just wanted to find a mountain village, and live quietly for the rest of her life. But how can Kuzen be willing to grasp so many secrets of the southern foreign country, either continue to kill or be killed. After breaking through numerous assassination attempts, she finally escaped from the southern foreign land, and Clinker Kuzen wanted to kill her, revealing her whereabouts to the human faction. In the past ten years, countless disciples of various factions have died at the hands of the surviving Ji, and when they heard the news, they sent people to chase and kill them. After repelling several waves of cultivators, she was seriously injured and ended up here.
The heavens and the earth are so big that there is no place for her. Both Inhumans and Humans wanted to take her life.
She didn't kill the man in the end, but for some reason, her rock-like heart was shaken a little, probably because of the deep attachment to Weng Cao Village on the man's ordinary face. She was halfway from her injuries and was able to move away, but she didn't know where to go, so she stayed in the cave for the time being.
The cool breeze hit, and the woman also felt a trace of coolness, turned around and returned to the fire, made eye contact with the man, and found that he was looking at herself in a daze, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hey, what are you looking at." The man was startled, reacted from his stunned expression, his face flushed, and said with some sneering: "You...... You're so pretty......"
A hint of anger rose on the woman's face, there were countless people who coveted her beauty in the past ten years, but all of them were ill-intentioned, and at this time, when she heard the man's praise, she didn't have a feeling of disgust. But then his face calmed down, although the man was tall and strong, he was actually dumbfounded, and there was no lust in his look. The woman snorted coldly, sat cross-legged on one side, and did not answer him.
The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Auntie...... Girl, can I ask you what your name is?"
The woman glanced at him, and asked instead of answering, "What's your name?" ”
The man grinned, reached out and scratched his head, and raised his voice.
"My name is Liu Fanping."
