Chapter 44: The Light and the Darkness

A fire burned in the house, and gradually grew stronger, and became a fire that burned all things.

By the time the first mild rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the Wei Mansion was in ruins.

The corpses, the limbs of the corpses, the catkins and the thousands of jasmine flowers in the yard were all charred.

The Wei family, which had stood in Jianglian City for a hundred years, was only left with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the mountains and rivers, and a few days later, the thirty-year-old Wei Dagongzi became the current head of the Wei family.

Most of the masters borrowed by the Wei family from those families died in the Wei Mansion, and it was always difficult for the Wei family to use coke to deal with them, plus there was still the counterattack and revenge of the Yu family, and the Wei family was afraid that the next days would be difficult.

Countless purge conspiracy killings are still being staged, and the forces in the open and in the dark are ready to move, resulting in Jiang Liancheng being very unpeaceful in the past few days.

The Wei family's influence in Lizhou is in all aspects, and the resources they occupy are second only to the Yu family, and the Yu family itself has no time to take care of its own power because of the great loss of strength and the fact that it is busy suppressing the Wei family, and the competition for these land businesses is also in full swing.

By the way, according to the words of the escaped cultivator, the government also specially drew a wanted warrant to arrest Ye Chu, but there was no name on it.

But according to this painting, if you want to catch Ye Chu, the chances are comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, this has nothing to do with lying in bed Ye Chu anymore.

At this time, he had just woken up, but he found that he was shrouded in a solemn light.

He slept for five days, and the Buddha's light purified him for five days.

Wen Qian saw Ye Chu wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward, babbling about what happened after he fell into a coma.

Ye Chu looked around in a daze, without any sparkle in his eyes.

The light of the Buddha can purify the soul and clear the evil qi and killing intent of the spiritual platform, but it cannot bring the dead back to life.

The slaughter of the village had always been Ye Chu's nightmare, and he could control himself and bury it deep in his heart.

Wang Anzhi's death was Ye Chu's grief, and he could control himself to divert attention.

The tragic death of the monks of Qingma Temple evoked his memory, and Yu Yu's death struck him in the heart together with Wang Anzhi's death.

Hui An died to save him, and Chen Ru died of his stupid kindness.

Murderous thoughts can be purified, but grief and self-blame cannot.

What's more, he was discovered in order to save a child who had fallen into the water.

And the father of the child who fell into the water betrayed him because of interests.

Gongsun Liang!

This person's face suddenly appeared in Ye Chu's mind.

"You're a good guy."

"But good people don't always live long."

Ye Chu's hot-blooded heart had been poured cold, and it was covered with ice chips.

Half a month passed, Ye Chu was finally able to walk on the ground, and Wen Qian was very happy to see it.

He often came to talk to Ye Chu, and Ye Chu mostly nodded coldly, or simply "um," "Oh." A few times, few of them replied well, but Wen Qian didn't seem to take this cold response as a thing at all, and still treated it warmly.

"I am a senior brother, and I have to take care of my junior brother." Wen Qian said to himself.

Day after day, the dead are like this.

Ye Chu looked at the bright moon outside and remembered what day it was.

The full moon festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, a family of three sat in the yard, frolicking and admiring the moon, leisurely.

And now the full moon is still the same, but he is the only one left.

The moonlight is like water, shining on the cold of the heart.

"Squeak—"

Ye Chu looked at Wen Qian, who opened the door and approached, still expressionless.

"Well, junior brother, Master doesn't like to eat this, and told me not to eat it."

"I depend on my master for my life, and I don't have any habit of celebrating festivals."

"But I think since you were born in a populated land, the custom of eating this stuff also exists in your hometown, right? I bought some and you take them and try them. ”

As he spoke, Wen Qian handed over a few pieces of sweets wrapped in oiled paper.

Ye Chu was stunned for a while, but his hand trembled slightly.

He looked at the moon cake in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

"I said you weren't allowed to eat this crooked thing! You buy it back for your junior brother! There was a shout of scolding from outside the door.

Wen Qian looked a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled to ease the atmosphere.

"Your junior brother has not recovered from his serious injury, so he can't eat this kind of sweets with a bloated stomach."

"Once in a while is nothing......"

Ye Chu didn't look at these two people, and looked at Yue'er in the sky again and didn't know what to think.

The wrist was suddenly caught, but Ye Chu didn't panic at all, in the past month, I don't know how many times this scene has been repeated.

A warm current surged to Ye Chu's whole body meridians, reaching the secluded mansion.

"At that time, your internal injuries were extremely serious, and the external injuries were not light, and you didn't know how many bones were broken."

"You're recovering well now, but if you want to fully recover your cultivation, it will take at least seven or eight months, so don't worry."

Ye Chu nodded.

In a month's time, he only recovered three percent of his cultivation, and the recovery became more and more difficult the further he went.

After speaking, the old man stood up and said, "We have to leave Jianglian City today. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wen Qian asked.

"Our whereabouts have been exposed, and we can't afford to drag it out any longer."

Wen Qian nodded and didn't say anything more.

Although Ye Chu didn't know much about the situation, he didn't want to ask anything more now, but there was still one thing missing.

"Can you give me half an hour?"

This was the first time in a month that Ye Chu took the initiative to speak, Wen Qian nodded in agreement after listening to it, but the white-haired old man frowned, but he never said anything.

Leaving the inn, Ye Chu always felt that something was missing.

Touching his waist, he suddenly realized.

A sword is missing.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were very few ironware shops on the street, and Ye Chu searched for a long time but did not see one.

The Mid-Autumn Festival custom "noble family knots decorate the pavilion, and the people compete to occupy the restaurant to play the moon." "It is said that rich people decorate the building for wine, and ordinary people with a little spare money will also compete to order a restaurant and choose a good place to enjoy the moon, but regardless of whether they are rich or poor, there are probably not many people who go to buy weapons on this day.

The streets are full of people, but there are also lonely alleys.

The dimly lit alleys contrast with the bright lights outside.

"Let him go!"

Ye Chu followed the sound and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in plain clothes shouting this, and he noticed that this child actually had a wooden sword on his waist.

A child of the same size was squatting to the side with his head in his hands, and next to him were three people the same age as Ye Chu were punching and kicking him.

"What are you!" The one who was the head was a fat man with a fat brain, and shouted disdainfully.

Being shouted like this, the plainly dressed child suddenly became a little afraid.

"I ...... Why do you bully people! ”

A relatively tall and thin man walked out next to the leader and said viciously: "Can you manage it?!" With that, he stepped forward and shoved it.

"Do you really think you can become a hero with a wooden sword?! You idiot! ”

Pushing, abusive, and finally turned into punches and kicks.

The one holding his head changed from one person to two people, but the one who beat the person became even more excited.

The young man at the head forcibly ripped off the wooden sword from the child's waist and teased: "Look! I have got the sword of the hero! ”

"Give it back to ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped and lost a tooth.

"Good people don't live long...... Stupid justice. Ye Chu smiled mockingly, turned around and walked away.

In the dimly lit alley, the righteous and courageous children are enduring the ridicule of the world for kindness.

There were lights outside, but they couldn't illuminate the darkness in the alley.

As soon as he took a few steps, Ye Chu suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Stop."

Ye Chu stood under the light and said to the darkness.
