Chapter 17: The Past
In the Wenji Mountains, the two left, leaving a dead and silent village. What they don't know is the past of this village.
Deyu 90 years, Fenghu Village.
"Beat you up!" a muscular little boy fights with a more introverted-looking boy, the introverted kid obviously can't fight, and is quickly knocked to the ground. "Good, good, the boss is great. Hit him, hit him!" the children coaxed. The sturdy child said, "If you don't give me toys to play, you have to let me play with the new toys you buy later, understand?" The introverted child's name is Liu Ruoran, his family lives in a dyeing workshop at the head of the village, and he is weak and wooden on weekdays. The stout little boy was named Ding Meng, and he was the child king of the village. His father not only did not discipline his son, but spoiled him. And his father is also a local village tyrant, who drinks and gambles on weekdays, beats his wife, and even often verbally molests some married wives in the village. The villagers also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, because his uncle was a subordinate of the current Zuo Prime Minister Zhao Gou's family. Knowing this relationship, even the magistrate was perfunctory, and then the person who reported to the official was inevitably beaten.
But not everyone can tolerate his nonsense, there is one person that Ding Meng will never dare to provoke. That is Shangguan Yuru, Shangguan Yuru's father, Shangguan Krypton, the sect leader of the Disillusionment Sect, which ranks second in the three sects. According to rumors, his cultivation of the Xuanxuan Sword has reached the top of the mortal realm: the Tribulation Period. One knife can destroy a continent. One knife can break ten thousand techniques. One knife, that is, the yin and yang are broken. Shangguan Krypton's hometown is Fenghu Village, although he has achieved fame, but in order to keep his daughter away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes, he handed her over to the elderly at home to take care of. In fact, he had long wanted to take the old man away to enjoy the joy of family, but his parents were always reluctant to go home, so Shangguan Yuru lived in Fenghu Village with his grandparents. "You guys, get out of here!" a spicy little girl with a double ponytail yelled at the Raippi. "Really, for a piece of waste, as far as that. Cut!" Ding Meng said this, but he still took a few little Lai Pi and left obediently.
"Hey, are you alright? "Hmm...... I'm fine, thank you. "Hmph! People like them should be beaten. Ah, you said it's okay, your nose is bleeding, come to my house and I'll give you medicine. "That...... No...... No need!" Shangguan Yuru shrugged helplessly.
In the days to come, as always. Shangguan Yuru always deliberately likes to tease Liu Ruoran, although Liu Ruoran is often bullied, she can also feel that this girl always has kindness to him, and gradually has a good impression of Shangguan Yuru, and the relationship between the two gradually becomes closer.
One day, many years later, a purple-robed Taoist passed by the village to spend the night. Liu Ruoran's family at the head of the village generously entertained the Purple Robe Daoist, who called himself the Purple Huan Daoist. The purple-robed Taoist looked at Liu Ruoran's mother, who was giving medicine to the child, and said, "Why is this young man injured?" The child's mother sighed: "It's not a day or two, it's all been injured by the Ding family bully." "Oh, child, would you like to go up the mountain with me to practice martial arts, I think you have good talents, and it would be a pity if you couldn't practice." "That'...... Can you beat Ding Meng in that way?" "Hahahaha...... A ruffian hooligan, why worry. If Lao Dao is willing, he can take his life at any time. "Okay, mother, I'm going to follow the master to practice martial arts. "Ah, if so, how long will it take for you to go?" Lao Dao smiled and said, "Three years, three years at most." Your son will be able to make a difference. "Three years, if so, you ......," the mother seemed to persuade. "No, I decided. Mother, I'm going to practice martial arts. Only in this way can you be worthy of Miss Yuru. ”
When he arrived at Wanjianmen, the sect of Zihuan Daoist, he worshipped Zihuan Daoist as his teacher. He saw that his senior brother was a very kind person, and he was a peerless genius, and he was deeply loved by Zihuan, and he often pointed him out. One day during a break, he saw that his senior brother was looking at something, and he walked over to see that it was a copy of "Yin Spells". "Big brother, what is this?" This is a magic book, and it is a reward for me to be the first to choose at the last martial arts general alliance meeting. I feel that some of the spells in this can be used by the true qi operation method of my sword moves, but it seems that I think too much~" He casually threw the book aside and said, "This kind of thing is kept to harm people, I'll burn it." "Eh, it's a shame to burn, give it to me." "Hey, it's all harmful sorcery, what are you going to do. Liu Ruoran smiled wryly: "It's nothing, I just think it's a pity to throw it away." "Whatever you want, but if so, the above techniques can't be used, it's all forbidden techniques." Liu Ruoran nodded and said, "I know." Seeing that the senior brother nodded, he didn't say anything anymore, and immersed himself in the deduction of swordsmanship again.
Three years have passed quickly, and Liu Ruoran has reached the foundation building period. He had passed the crown, and after completing his studies, he went down the mountain and returned to the village.
The first thing he did when he returned to the village was to propose to Yuru. Yuru quickly agreed, and the two got married, and their lives were extremely loving.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and changes still come. One day, Liu Ruoran was eating noodles at a small stall, and a man in a dirty gray robe was sitting on the table next to him. When he met Ding Meng, he thought that he would be restrained by the crown, but he didn't expect to be so domineering. "Hey, boy. Uncle is a little short of money, borrow some silver. Liu Ruoran pretended not to see it and was about to go home, Ding Meng stopped Liu Ruoran on the way back with a wheat stalk, and said with his face against Liu Ruoran: "What? Uncle sees that you have a happy event, so he spoils you more, and now I want to borrow some money to spend, is it so difficult?" "Go away!" Liu Ruoran pushed Ding Meng down with one hand and said, "Ding Meng, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Don't bother me in the future. Ding Meng fell into a lot of meat, spit out wheat stalks, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Damn." Then he walked away. The man in the dirty gray robe also stood up, paid the bill and left.
Three days later, Yuru disappeared.
Liu Ruoran searched anxiously, and when he found it, it was at Ding Meng's house. His house was also surrounded by gossips and noisy. Ding Meng split out of the crowd in disheveled clothes and shouted: "Spread out, spread out, make a lot of fun." I saw an old woman shouting in the house: "Yuru, you girl, why are ......you so unruly! Don't think that your father is so powerful that he can do anything wrong!" Liu Ruoran's eyes widened and said, "Ding Meng, you!" Ding Meng sorted out his pajamas and said, "Eh, don't stare at me with those big eyes, I'm afraid." I can't take care of that little slut, blame Lao Tzu?hahaha!" Liu Ruoran rushed into the house and saw Yuru covered with a quilt, naked, and crying. When the old woman saw Liu Ruoran coming in, she said, "Oh, if so, you can come." Look at the good things you have done at home~" Liu Ruoran looked at Yuru in disbelief with wide eyes, "Yuru, you ......" The old woman pointed to the neatly arranged shoes and intact clothes and said: "Look at it, look at it, she also said that she was forced, look at this quilt, look at this clothes, look at this shoes, they are all neatly placed and intact~" The crowd next to him was gossiping and sighing. Yuru said to Liu Ruoran excitedly: "Ah Ruo, I ......" "Slut!" Liu Ruoran burst into tears, slapped Yuru angrily, and a clear red palm print appeared on Yuru's fair face. People were surprised again, "Ouch, her father is a powerful person, this young man is afraid of ......" "Oh, yes......" "You don't say a word, be careful that her father slaughters you......"
Two days later, Yuru hanged herself. People said that she was ashamed of herself, so she decided to die.
Liu Ruoran borrowed wine to drown his sorrows all day long, feeling that every day was the end of the world.
A day later, an old man in a dirty gray robe walked past his open wooden door and said, "Young man, do you want to do a trigram?" "No~" Liu Ruoran said drunkenly.
The old man was full of gloomy and cold breath, approached Liu Ruoran, and said, "You can know the good and the bad, and everything is good." "No~" "Young man, don't you want to know the truth about some things?" "Then what can you count?" "I am different from ordinary gentlemen, and I specialize in the past. "Interesting, it's boring now anyway, so forget it~" "Okay!" Accompanied by the old man in a dirty gray robe, a vision appeared. "It was a reflection three days ago, on the screen, Yuru was sprinkled with medicinal powder not far away by Ding Meng on the way home, and then seemed to be driven by Ding Meng like a demon, and then there were scenes of unsightly things. Liu Ruoran froze, "Could it be ......" "Ah-" Liu Ruoran was bloody, his face became hideous, and he walked out of the door laughing. The old man in the dirty gray robe said: "I know what you want to do, but is that enough?" "Yes, it's not enough! It's not enough! Hahaha, I'm going to make him worse than dead!" "The former childhood sweetheart, now the beloved, just died in such humiliation, hate?" Liu Ruoran laughed maniacally: "Hahaha! Hahahaha!" The old man in the dirty gray robe put his hand on Liu Ruoran's shoulder: "You only need to pay a little price to obtain the power of the technique and fulfill your wishes." Liu Ruoran smiled and said, "Hahaha! What a price!" "Life." You give me your life willingly, and I give you the power of magic. "Okay, okay, what am I going to do?" The old man in the dirty gray robe said: "Don't put up any resistance, relax! Soon, Liu Ruoran's life was extracted, like a withered tree.
The old man in the dirty gray robe handed Liu Ruoran a small gray bag, "You only have two days, go do what you want." This is a miracle poison. Remember, they are also poisonous. Words were the most poisonous poison, and they killed her together. ”
The old man in his dirty gray robe was gone.
He suddenly remembered that he still had a copy of "Yin Spells".
A day later, Ding Meng disappeared, and no one knows what he had been through.
Two days later, the whole village died.
He threw the poison into the only source of water in the village, the river downstream of the stream that Xiao Yu was along.
At noon, he sat by Yuru's grave with the "Yin Spell" and waited for the end of his life. It was the first time he had such power, but his days were numbered. Suddenly, he looked at "Yin Spell" and came up with an idea, he used the evil spell on "Yin Spell", used the magic to conjure up a lot of coffins, put the corpse in it, and put the evil array according to a certain array, and put the body of an old lady in the eye of the array, where everything is immortal. When two unrelated men and women lie on a coffin, the formation can be triggered. He has gone crazy, and what he wants at this time is to pass on the power of the magic he has to a pair of lovers.
As time passed, Yuru's tomb gradually deteriorated and became a deserted tomb.
