Chapter 169: The East Passes Away
When they left the sacrificial ground, the residential area of the Lama tribe was already in a mess, the crying shook the ground, the old man screamed bitterly, and the families dragged the remaining belongings out of this place that they loved and hated, seeing this scene, Su Xie couldn't help but sympathize with them.
He pressed the head of the cloud and stopped in front of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled lamas, and an old man with a hunched waist was startled when he saw this, and he didn't think about kneeling down to him, and all the people behind him knelt down tremblingly.
A mother knelt on the ground, holding the little boy's hand, in the crowd, only he was still playing with the puppet in his hand, standing motionless, the mother slapped him angrily, and muttered: "You evil spirit, don't kneel down quickly." ”
The little boy cried, and the puppet in his hand was thrown aside by his mother, and when Su Xie saw this, he immediately stepped forward to hold the little boy and put the puppet thrown aside back in his hand.
Everyone looked at the mother with strange expressions.
"Your Excellency, ...... You are ......" The mother was overwhelmed and shed tears.
"You all get up, I won't kill you," Su Xie touched the boy's head, seeing him take back the doll's happy appearance, he also smiled, "Also, the boy has gold under his knees, kneeling and licking his parents, even if your life is threatened one day, you can't kneel to others, do you understand?"
"Thank you, big brother, for not killing. The little boy looked at him with innocent eyes.
Su Xie's face was full of distress, such a young boy, who should have had a happy and wonderful childhood, but lived in a bitter war, and now, he realized that his actions still hurt the lama tribe a lot.
But this world is like this, the strong can survive, and the weak will be eliminated.
The mother bowed her head in shame, and it was not until the old man in front of her stood up that the others stood up silently.
"Alas, I knew that our Gu Gong and Gu Po were such people, fighting openly and secretly, and harboring ghosts, we would have left here a long time ago, in fact, it was not the foreigners who destroyed the lama clan, but ourselves. The old man said earnestly.
"Actually, from the very beginning, it was wrong for him to bring that woman back, this is the fate of the lama clan," Su Xie sighed, and the heart-wrenching words that Gu Po said were only said to him, and now, they still echo in his ears, "No one can escape the fate that has long been predestined." ”
"Alas, that's right, by the way, how did you know about Gu Po?" The old man was stunned, how could this young man, who looked like he was only nineteen years old, have so much to do with Gu Po, as if he really understood her past.
"She told me personally, she took a fancy to me at the time, and planned to kill Gu Gong after devouring the Dragon Ball, and make me the new patriarch, Gu Po has always regarded you as her pawns, and your value is a stepping stone on the road to becoming a king for her, she will only care about what she gets, and will not care about others," Su Xie said in a deep voice, when he said these words, he still felt that Gu Po was a very terrible woman, "Aren't people in your clan often missing?"
Before the old man could speak, the mother grabbed her mouth and said, "Yes, yes, that's right, my husband disappeared silently a month ago, and after looking for a while, finally came the news that he had been killed by foreigners......"
She covered her nose and hugged her son into her arms, crying silently.
"My lord, do you know how he died? I've always wanted to see him, even if it's just a corpse, but I can see him, and I will put a tombstone for him by the way. ”
As soon as the woman cried, the others cried, and it seemed that they were all people who had lost their families.
"Your family was not killed by foreigners, and now, although the truth is very cruel, I have to tell you," Su Xie shook his head slowly, "Haven't you thought that Gu Po is already an old man who is hundreds of years old and waiting for me, how can she always maintain such a young appearance?"
When everyone heard the clouds, they still didn't quite understand.
"All the dead people were taken by her to make an elixir of some kind of witchcraft, and she told me that this elixir can maintain a youthful appearance for a while, but it will still fail, so she keeps killing people without mercy. Su Xie said coldly.
"This ...... How is this possible, but why don't any of us know about the people who died?"
"yes, that's mysterious. ”
"Every time the news comes, it is said that it was killed by a foreigner, but listening to what the little brother said, there is some truth, that Gu woman is indeed very strange. ”
Everyone talked about it, and it was difficult to accept the fact that as the guardian of the lama clan, she secretly killed her own people, and if she died today, it could be regarded as the best punishment from God.
"Nothing is impossible, what the little brother said is very right, that Gu Po can even kill her own husband, why do you care about the lives of us ants?" the old man nodded.
"Don't you want to see them, I might be able to help you find some bones, but it's hard to tell when they're dead, but that's all I can do for you. Su Xie asked.
A strong young man said loudly: "Go, of course we have to go, although people are dead, the bones are not cold, and our hearts are not at ease!"
"I ...... My husband was wearing the necklace we wore when we got married, and it was a token between us, and I should be able to find him. Mother said.
"Come with me. After glancing at them, Su Xie said.
After walking for a while, only a few dozen of the last group of lamas remained, and they followed Su Xie to the place where they had never dared to step before-the bamboo building of Gu Po.
At this time, this bamboo building was crumbling and dilapidated, and the dark gate seemed to be hiding a wild beast, staring at a group of people outside the door.
"This ...... This is the bamboo building of Gu Po Gu Gong......" The old man trembled, although the two were dead, he still felt very jealous standing in front of this door.
"Why, she's dead, you don't have to be scared anymore, your family has disappeared without a trace, you can't find the body yet, the only place you can hide is where you have never been, come on, I hope you are mentally prepared. Su Xie said, glancing at the mother.
"I can. The mother put her palm to her heart and whispered.
After entering the bamboo building, everyone lit a firewood stick to illuminate the dark environment.
They were stepping on a grass, their feet, corners, and as far as the eye could see, were all half-buried bones, and the heart-rending cries immediately drowned out Su Xie, and everyone fell to their knees, digging into the earth like crazy, relying on the breath of their loved ones to find their dead family members.
The little boy's mother cried loudly, because she saw something shining in the corner, and when she came closer, it was a necklace, and she leaned down and hugged the bones tightly, and tears welled up.
"Little brother, thank you for your great kindness, if you hadn't brought us here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the bones of our dead relatives in this life. The old man held Su Xie's hand, and the old man burst into tears, "If you need any help, the old man will do his best." ”
"Before leaving, I hope to get a Gu that can retrieve my memory, I wonder if Grandpa has it here?" Su Xie smiled and said.
"Gu ...... that can awaken memories," the old man pondered, "Oh, I thought I came, you said it, but the East Passing Water?"
"That's right, that's exactly this Gu. Su Xie didn't actually plan to regain his memory, but at the last moment, he still couldn't hold back.
He wanted to know too much about his parents' memories.
"Of course, before the old man left with these belongings, he happened to take two Dongshui with him," the old man untied his baggage and took out two transparent worms from a small bag, "Take it." ”
Su Xie took the Gu, Dragon Ball and East Passing Water, all of them were in hand, although this trek through mountains and rivers was dangerous, but it was rewarded after all.
"Thank you, old man. He clenched his fists in thanks.
"No thanks, this is what you deserve, alas, burying these people, we have to leave here and find a place where we can live happily, but it is difficult for a weak race like us to survive in a place like the Lanzhou Continent, right?" the old man sighed.
"If it were me, I would rather live a life of seclusion for the rest of my life, I don't want this noisy world, but I still have people I have to meet, so I can't stand still, everyone has a different way of living, as long as they are happy, what is the point of being a king?" Su Xie walked to the door and said.
"Thank you little brother for your guidance, the old man will lead the rest of the clan to find a place where they can live in seclusion and live quietly. The old man bowed.
Su Xie lowered his face and smiled slightly, a gust of wind swept in front of the door, leaving only the dust in place to shake, and the figure of the young man had disappeared into this greenery.
"Susu, I can't see that you have a very kind heart. Gu Lingshan said with a smile.
"They're innocent, that's all I can do, and the rest is up to them. Su Xie looked at the turquoise Ten Thousand Gu Miasma Forest below and said.
"Yes, each has its own destiny. ”
After a boring conversation, Su Xie saw Su Nan and Su Jie sitting under a prosperous peach tree outside the forest from a distance, and Su Nan drew circles on the ground with his index finger, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Su Nan, Su Jie, I'm back!" Su Xie's voice rang out in the sky.
Su Nan was even more sensitive than Su Jie, so he got up suddenly, and saw through the branches and leaves of the peach tree that the young man was jumping over the branches of one big tree after another, looking here.
"Su Xie, if you don't come again, I'm really going to be angry!" Su Nan puffed his waist angrily.
Su Xie turned around and landed, took her hand, and smiled softly: "I was wrong, can I forgive me?" After being away for so long, I really miss you." ”
