Chapter 9 The Old Story of Hailing
Perhaps to let Zhao Xiaojun and the three of them have a clear understanding, Shen Xue said in detail:
"Meng Fengguo was originally a student of Fengtian Academy in Xuchang, and after graduation, he was transferred to the Luoyang Southern Army, and after breaking through to the Yudan period, he was released to Hailing City as the city lord, mainly responsible for liaison and transactions with overseas three states. ”
After a brief introduction to Meng Fengguo, Shen Xue continued:
"About ten years ago, Hailing City was reduced to ruins overnight, leaving not a single grass behind, and Meng Fengguo and his wife Zhang Ruoyu were both killed. ”
Hearing this, Huang Duan, who didn't speak much on the side, couldn't help but say loudly:
"That Meng Zhaoyi is ......"
Shen Xue nodded solemnly and said:
"That's right, Meng Zhaoyi is Meng Fengguo's son, the only survivor of the entire Hailing City, it is said that Meng Fengguo's subordinates sacrificed themselves with the secret method of blood sacrifice to hide his breath, and the next day the rescuers of Fengtian Academy found Meng Zhaoyi in a coma and sent him to the Sanjing Hall of the Meng family in Taishan County. ”
There was silence after everyone listened.
No wonder Meng Zhaoyi, who was originally from a Yanqing family, did not choose to apply for Fengtian Academy, but instead traveled thousands of miles to apply for Chengtian Academy.
He must have had the intention of joining the Northern Frontier Army.
After a while, Huang Duan asked:
"That'...... And who did this bloodbath?"
At this time, Yang Miao took the initiative to speak up and said:
"Blood skeletons. ”
After these three words were spoken, it was Zhao Xiaojun and Han Xu's turn to be shocked, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Huang Duan was from a Bashu family and didn't know much about these things, so he took the initiative to ask:
"What is a Blood Skull? An organization?"
After everyone listened, their eyes all looked at Zhao Xiaojun and Han Xu, the two of them from the Northern Xinjiang family were all too familiar with this.
"I didn't expect it to be a blood skeleton. ”
The two glanced at each other, and it was Han Xu who took the lead in saying:
"We all know that due to the particularity of history, there are a lot of cottages in the northern Xinjiang region, and when these villages are good, they will be self-sufficient, and when the year is bad, it is common to plunder caravans, and we are more accustomed to calling them bandits. ”
After a pause, Han Xu said again:
"And the Blood Skeleton is the most arrogant, unreasonable, vicious, and powerful team among the bandits. ”
Speaking of which, Han Xu added:
"The military has teamed up with the Four Academies to launch several encirclement and suppression of the Blood Skull, and it is strange that each time it was a last-minute failure, and the closest thing to success was twenty years ago, when the Four Academies set up an ambush in Deadwood Ridge alone, leaving the military alone......
Han Xu sighed and said:
"But in the end, they were allowed to break out of the encirclement and escape into the sea of trees in the northern frontier....."
Huang Duan was surprised after hearing this:
"Is this Blood Skeleton so strong?"
Han Xu wanted to say something, but seemed to be a little jealous and shook his head.
Yang Haochuan, who was on the side, didn't care, and took over:
"If you want to talk about strength, this blood skeleton is indeed strong, the second master of the Soul Breaking Sword Ji is gone, the late stage of Jindan, the third master of the ghost rune Shang Xianfeng, the late stage of Jindan, the fourth master of Xiaoyao Xian Ningyuan, the late stage of Jindan, the fifth master, the tyrant Cao Bin, the late stage of Jindan. ”
Yang Haochuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile:
"Even so, whether it's the military or the four courts, if you really want to exterminate them, even if it's ten Jindan later stages?"
Huang Duan then asked:
"That's why ......"
Yang Haochuan said:
"Hey, isn't there an inner ghost, otherwise if he is allowed to have three heads and six arms of a blood skeleton, how can he just avoid encirclement and suppression again and again?"
It can be said that it is not only the blood skeletons, but the vast majority of the bandits remaining in Northern Xinjiang are related to the major families in Northern Xinjiang and Guannai.
The dirty work that is inconvenient for some families to come forward is generally handed over to these bandits, and these bandits can also obtain their own urgently needed spiritual materials and elixirs from the family.
Many people know these things, but no one will say them.
Two, three, four, five?
Huang Duan counted silently, and then asked:
"Hey, what about the Blood Skull Master?"
Han Xu shook his head and said:
"No one has ever seen the blood skeleton master, when he goes out to loot, he is often the leader of the various masters below, and when he is surrounded and suppressed, there are only a few critical moments, and it is rumored that he always wears a mask on his face, as for his strength, it is rumored in the battle of Deadwood Ridge that this big boss used the magic elephant world, I think it is at least the strength of Jindan Dacheng. ”
It can be said that an ordinary Jindan monk is qualified to shelter a small family, and even many medium-sized families can't get together five Jindan monks.
And among the blood skeletons, there were actually five masters of Jin Dan who had cultivated above the late stage, and this kind of strength could indeed be called strong.
By the way, Han Xu gave a general explanation of the matter of the bandits.
Of course, some things that everyone knows but can't declare, he won't take the initiative to pick out.
After Han Xu finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and for Meng Zhaoyi, everyone did not have the initial antipathy, but more sympathy.
At a deeper level, everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but they all understand one thing in their hearts.
That is Meng Zhaoyi's disgust and helplessness for the family, and it is estimated that it is this sense of contradiction that makes him unwilling or unwilling to say how to get along with his own people.
After a while, everyone lost interest and took their leave.
On the way back, Zhao Xiaojun passed by Meng Zhaoyi's door and stopped.
"It turns out that you are also a person without parents......"
To some extent, in fact, Zhao Xiaojun is more sympathetic to Meng Zhaoyi.
After all, for myself, I have never met my biological parents, and the feeling for them is more of a natural sense of longing in human nature.
Moreover, the uncles of Cangshanzhai have also replaced Zhao Xiaojun's dependence on his parents to some extent.
However, for Meng Zhaoyi, although he slowly walked out of the haze under the care of his fellow clan, he was a person who had experienced the love of licking calves after all.
It can be said that how deep his parents' love for him was at the beginning, and how much his heart hurts now.
This is a pain that cannot be forgotten, a pain that is carved into the bone marrow.
......
Back in his courtyard, Zhao Xiaojun took out the jade pendant, and through today's exchange, Zhao Xiaojun actually found a problem.
During the literary examination, everyone was in a dream, it was an unconscious behavior, and after waking up, just a momentary memory forgot everything like a usual dream.
However, Zhao Xiaojun is different, until now, Zhao Xiaojun still clearly remembers all his actions in his dreams.
"Why is this happening?"
Constantly rubbing the jade pendant in his hand, Zhao Xiaojun kept asking himself in his heart.
"What the hell are you?"
Thinking of the previous change, Zhao Xiaojun still forced himself to put away the jade pendant and instead concentrate on the exercises on the swaddling clothes.
Only by reaching the foundation building period early can the use of jade pendant be further found.
