Chapter 682: Sha in the Eyes
The half-hidden door panel of the alchemy room was vigorously pushed open, and the two black-clothed men walked in quickly, looked around the room, and fixed their eyes on the yellow-clothed corpse lying down. The leader raised his hand and grabbed one of them, covered the top of the man's skull with his five fingers, and quickly searched for the soul.
"The power of the waste son has increased again. In the middle of the night, the man in black stood up, and under his palm, a shattered skull rolled down in embarrassment.
The other man in black avoided slightly, his eyes still fixed on the rotation of the compass, and asked tentatively: "The spiritual power fluctuation just now is not a waste, that means ......"
"In this Medicine King Valley, there are still survivors. First, a man in black glanced at him coldly and made a conclusion on his behalf.
……
Hundreds of meters away, in the pile of corpses, a pair of bloody palms slowly poked out, constantly moving forward. The hideous face stained with blood and sludge was also more and more clearly revealed.
"Unexpectedly, the fake death medicine that was refined at the beginning came in handy here......" The Medicine King Valley Lord muttered to himself in a low voice, poked out half of his head, cautiously looked around, and after confirming that the enemy had all retreated, he continued to crawl forward.
Although he survived, he was also seriously injured at this time. Even those low-level "medicinal herbs" collected by him could control him to death at will. At this moment, the Medicine King Valley Lord seemed to have returned to hundreds of years ago, the humble period when he had nothing, defended the front and the back, and worked hard.
"I'll live. Since I have left a life, I will definitely recover this ......!"
The Medicine King Valley Lord's hands reached forward, leaving two deep blood marks on the ground. He struggled to prop up his upper body, but fell to the ground again due to the loss of his right arm. After breathing for a long time, he was about to try again, when an indescribable powerful force suddenly fell from the sky, and the Medicine King Valley Lord only felt that the entire time and space had stopped, and his limbs were completely unable to move, leaving only extreme fear, which spread in a hurry in his heart.
"There is a dark aura in you. Two men in black wearing hats appeared silently beside him, their voices bitterly cold, but there was a kind of coercion that made people have to surrender.
"Join us and you will be glorified. ”
The Medicine King Valley Lord's control over his body finally regained a few points, and he raised his head with difficulty: "...... are you?"
The man in black at the head did not answer directly, but spoke again: "The first gift we are about to give you is this country. ”
The Medicine King Valley Lord looked at him in a daze, and the other party ...... Why do they seem to know what they are thinking? Both of them were covered in black veil, and it was difficult to see their true faces, but somehow, he seemed to see a pair of eyes through the layers of black veil...... As if in a far away place, and as if it was right in front of you, the pupils of those eyes were gradually turning blood-red......
It's just that after this short glance, the Medicine King Valley Lord's eyes flashed with a faint emptiness, as if he was confused, and he responded in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I'll join, I'll join!"
The two men in black looked flat, as if this was the outcome that had been predicted for a long time. The leader quickly raised his hand, and between his fingers was a diamond-shaped crystal, the whole body was crimson, exquisitely clear, and stabbed fiercely towards the back of the neck of the Medicine King Valley Lord.
Once the crystal was pierced, it did not break the skin and bleed, but as if it had been absorbed by the human body, it continued to be injected into the depths, and the volume remaining in the outside world was getting smaller and smaller.
During the whole process, the Medicine King Valley Lord seemed to have suffered inhuman pain, raised his head and screamed miserably, and a large amount of sweat rolled down. From the angle of the two black-clothed men, it could be clearly seen that layers of red ripples were emanating from the surface of the crystal, spreading towards the main body of the Medicine King Valley, transforming his muscles and bones. It is also to add an eternal shackle to his soul.
When the crystal completely entered his body, the Medicine King Valley Lord raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and two blood-colored waves several feet high set off around his body, which contained a faint black qi. The long hair was lifted by the wind, and the reckless vibration lasted for a long time, and then fell one after another, and the fiercely raised eyes were completely filled with a piece of blood red.

Mu Hansha leaned on the side of the table, and according to the usual practice, he transferred most of his income from the previous month to another account. After seeing the prompt of a successful transfer, he casually threw the jade slip on the table, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and sighed quietly.
But this time it was only a few breaths, and two prompts suddenly sounded in the jade slip. Mu Hansha frowned, hesitantly picked up the jade slip, and saw that the amount transferred just now was actually returned to his account intact. followed by a short message: "Hansha, you have met a nobleman." ”
Mu Hansha's expression finally changed, and his fingers trembled and pressed on the screen. After his inquiry was sent, he was also quickly answered.
The first thing I received was a screenshot of the transfer slip. The numbers in it...... Even from the perspective of his Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, it was still a sky-high price! It was transferred to this account that he was familiar with, and the name of the transferr turned out to be Chu Tianyao!
Drag the message downwards and see a few short lines of text: "We don't want to say much about this matter, but since the Nine Venerables appreciate you so much, you should follow him." You won't have to worry about our side of things in the future. ”
Mu Hansha held the jade slip in his hand and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Every number on that transfer slip was deeply watched by him. His life seems to have been completely subverted in those dazzling numbers.
An hour later, Mu Hansha was already standing in front of the Nine Venerables' room. In his hand, he still held the jade slip.
"Do you know all about it?"
Chu Tianyao looked back at him: "I can know, but I don't know yet." Because I want to wait for you to tell me yourself. ”
Mu Hansha's silent eyes instantly set off monstrous waves. All the emotions that he suppressed in his heart flooded out, but perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long, what he wanted to say was so complicated that he couldn't talk about it for a long time.
"If you're not ready, that's okay, I'll leave the choice up to you. Chu Tianyao pushed the teacup on the table in front of him and smiled comfortingly.
All the sadness and gratitude for months seemed to have turned into catalysts at this moment. Mu Hansha's defense line in his heart finally collapsed completely, and he knelt down deeply in front of the low table, and then, he spent a few hours reviewing his previous life.
Mu Hansha's family is also a famous family in the local area, and he could have had a good childhood. It's a pity that fate didn't really favor him.
At the beginning, after learning that his mother was pregnant, his father, like every first-time father, prepared a lot of baby products, decorated the house, and counted the days waiting for the arrival of the newborn.
However, it was also because his father calculated the days too precisely, and when the official production day came, he was keenly aware of the hidden shadows. Afterwards, under the father's questioning, the mother finally admitted in tears that the child was indeed conceived by her and her ex-lover. Although they had long since broken off contact after they got married, even she didn't realize that she would be pregnant with his flesh and blood until she gave birth.
The joy of being a father turned into the shame of betrayal in one day, the father was furious, and the mother felt ashamed, but she only mourned and wept. In the end, although the child was retained, he was from the young master of the big family, and instantly became a poor worm whose father did not love his mother. His identity has already doomed his future fate.
His father named him Hansha," he said, with no room for sand in his eyes...... I am the sand in his eyes. When Mu Hansha said this, a fragile smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and a large wave of light flashed in his eyes, like a little star scattered on the sea.
When the child first arrives in the world, as a name that contains the beautiful sustenance of his parents, it has such an ironic meaning, which is enough to foresee what kind of treatment he will receive in this family.
After that, my father became irritable and irritable, often drank heavily, and when he came home, he would always be angry about small things. The mother was fed up with such days, and often wept secretly, muttering to herself: "It would be better if a child like this was not born in the first place." ”
The young Mu Hansha stood outside the room and listened to this sentence all the time, from the initial incomprehension to the heartache. But no matter how much blood and tears dried up in his heart, no one was willing to hug him and give him a little warmth of his family.
In the face of relatives, parents only said that their children had died. Every time someone came to visit, they had to drive him into the firewood room and lock the door. They were almost paranoid about his existence, as if he were a bunch of unsightly garbage.
When Mu Hansha has a memory, his daily life is to work constantly. He didn't know why he was so disliked by his parents, and it was clear that he hadn't done anything wrong. But in the endless beatings and shouting and scolding, he has learned to live carefully every day, for fear of making a little mistake, but even so, he is still beaten at every turn.
Only in the middle of the night, when his parents were asleep, did he have the opportunity to quietly check the wounds on his body in front of the moonlight. Dao Dao is full of bloodstains, and there are always new injuries added to old injuries before they are healed, and such a body is something that even he himself is afraid of.
When she was six years old, her mother was pregnant with her second child, and the relationship between her parents was reconciled. Mu Hansha saw it in his heart and was secretly pleased. But after having his own "biological son", there is no need for him, the "sand in the eyes", to exist.
It was the first time his parents took him out to play, and the first time he experienced what it was like to be cared for. Just when he thought that everything would slowly get better, that he too could be happy, his parents left him where he was and never came back. Then, several strange men in black took him away, and it turned out that his parents had sold him to the Nine Shadows Hall as a servant.
In the Nine Shadows Palace, in addition to the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, there are actually some lower servants with the lowest positions. They can be said to be complete slaves, in addition to the daily dirty work, they specialize in serving those young masters and young ladies, as well as the high Venerables.
For Mu Hansha, the situation of suffering has not changed, but it is just from one hell to another. As he grew older, he learned more and more things. Although his background cannot be changed, he is determined to change this tragic fate through his own efforts!
Because he had grown up working and had learned to read words and emotions since childhood, he was distinguished among his servants. After years of hard work, he finally became the Holy Envoy of the Nine Shadows with his own efforts. Once you cross this threshold, even in the entire Spirit Continent, you are a highly respected person!
At this time, the family who abandoned him began to beg him again, and they demanded that he be filial in the name of family affection. even collected a lot of money from relatives and friends again and again, and then invited him to come to the banquet, because ordinary people would not be able to see the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy. They want to use his identity to fulfill their vanity.
It's ridiculous that this garbage, which was once covered up in every way, is now being exhibited outwards in a big way, and it is true, the world makes people.
Sitting in a private room, enduring the fingering of a group of people. In this way, he is simply like a monkey exhibited in a zoo. And those "ticket fees" have always fallen into the pockets of their parents, and they have never been handed over to him, not a cent.
Not only that, being able to make a friendship with a Nine Shadows Holy Envoy is like having a lifetime of death-free gold medals for these relatives and friends. They began to run rampant, and finally caused trouble, but they all came to themselves as a matter of course to help settle the matter. What's even more ridiculous is that no matter how many relatives they used to be, they have to rub the light of their "Nine Shadow Holy Envoys" at this time. And for the sake of this vanity, the parents also promised again and again, and naturally they kept putting pressure on themselves behind it.
"Every time, every time, the owner stole the chicken, the west family touched the dog, and they would come to me and ask me to carry it for them. I...... I'm not omnipotent! In the Nine Shadows Palace, one step is the risk of life, but they can't see it! They only see how much benefit they can get from me...... Greedy like a vampire!"
Now, the Tiangongmen assessment is approaching, and the boss of a distant cousin uncle somehow knows the identity of his Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, and it just so happens that his family has a son who also wants to participate in this assessment. So the boss, who has always been strict, invited his cousin to a big meal for the first time, patted him on the shoulder, and kindly entrusted him. and said that as long as the matter is done, he will be promoted and raised.
My cousin was flattered and immediately came to plead with my father. Father also agreed, but for Mu Hansha, there was no quota in his hands that he could control freely. In desperation, he could only try to give up his place, which was also giving up his dream and giving up an opportunity to completely change his fate.
After Chu Tianyao refused, he had to find the Seven Venerables and beg for it with his savings for many years. He gave up almost everything he had to provide for his vampire-like relatives.
"I feel that I don't have a name, my name is a symbol of shame. All I have is the identity of the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, which is my value, my all. Since this is the case, then I will simply live myself as this identity, anyway, Mu Hansha, even if he disappears one day, no one will care. ”
On his face, there was a bewitching smile every time he said, "I am the Holy Envoy of the Nine Shadows". He wasn't himself, he was just a puppet called the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy. The smile was so dazzling, yet so sad.
