Chapter 203: The Mysterious Old Man
"Ah......" Zi Xia stabbed Zi Yang in the chest with a fierce sword, and the sharp pain made the red-eyed Zi Yang wake up, and the murderous aura in his eyes disappeared, replaced by fear.
He looked down at the sword stuck in his chest in disbelief, and tears came out in a flash: "Zixia, you...... What are you for...... Why do you want to kill me? β
"You ......" Zi Xia was stunned when he noticed that Zi Yang was unusual, and turned his head to shout to his companion, "It must be that old man who is doing tricks!" Kill him! β
Zixia and Zi Yang have been getting along for more than three years, Zi Yang is usually timid and cowardly, let alone killing, even if he is asked to kill a chicken, he doesn't dare to do it, but today he has become like a murderous demon king in an instant, and he must be controlled by someone.
When a man in a strong suit heard this, he first raised his sword and slashed at the old man. ......The man's sword was blocked by the firewood knife in Onikasa's hand.
When the man saw Onikasa's move, he was a little jealous and wanted to retreat, but Onikasa didn't give him this chance, and his hand fell with a knife and cut off the man's neck.
Warm blood gushed out, splashing Onikasa's face. Suddenly, several fragments quickly flashed through Onikasa's mind: he was chopping woodβa man in a crimson suit was tearing the clothes of his fifth sister-in-lawβhis hands were covered in blood, and the head of the man in the suit was bleedingβhis father asked him to pick up the corpse and leave......
Why did he forget such a thing? Why didn't my father and fifth brother say anything about it? Onikasa felt that her mind was in a mess, and she really couldn't figure it out.
"I'll kill you!" Seeing that the ghost was stunned, Zi Xia pulled out the sword that stabbed into Zi Yang's body, and stabbed it towards the old man's chest with a fierce momentum.
The old man did not dodge or dodge, and when the sword was approaching, he slowly raised his right palm and spit out a word in his mouth: "Order!" β
Zi Xia's sword froze, and what was even more amazing was that Zi Xia slowly put away his offensive and bowed to the old man: "Master! β
The old man slowly lowered his palm and ordered, "Kill them!" β
"Yes!" Zi Xia held the sword, turned around and looked at his companion coldly, his eyes surging with murderous light.
"Zixia, wake up! Don't be fooled by that old man! "A man who usually has a good relationship with Zixia wanted to wake up Zixia, but he pierced his heart with a sword.
"Brother Xia...... Brother Xia...... Ah...... "Two more companions died under Zixia's sword.
"Brother Xia has lost his mind, if you don't kill him, he will kill us!" One man took the lead in attacking, and the others also surrounded Zixia.
But within a few minutes, several men who were injured by Zixia turned against each other and began to help Zixia, and a melee between companions began. At the end of the day, more than 30 members of the Holy Sect lost their lives at the hands of their own people.
After killing the last companion, Zi Xia was covered in blood, panting, relying on the sword in his hand to support his body, and staggered to the old man: "Lord...... Master! β
"Kill yourself!" The old man looked coldly at the corpses everywhere without the slightest expression on his face.
"Daddy...... He ...... "Onikasa came back from the shock, watched Zixia raise his sword and wanted to commit suicide, and hurriedly blocked his sword with the firewood knife in his hand.
The old man stretched out his hand to pull away the ghost's hand and said indifferently, "If he doesn't die, the whole village will die!" β
As soon as the old man's words fell, the sword in Zi Xia's hand had already cut his throat.
"Ah Wu, organize the whole village to evacuate here! Otherwise, when the people of the Holy Religion come, no one will be able to live! The old man glanced around at the villagers who had gathered, "There is some gold in the old man's cellar, everyone divide it, let's all flee!" β
"I'm the one who hurt everyone! It's all my ......" The fifth sister-in-law burst into tears and knocked on her head with self-blame, if it weren't for her, everyone wouldn't have to leave their hometown.
The old man interrupted the fifth sister-in-law and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this! The people of the Holy Church will be coming soon! Folks, go back and clean up! The sooner you go, the safer it is! β
Seeing that the villagers had dispersed, the old man took Onikasa's hand, "You come in with me!" I have something to say to you! Onikasa nodded and followed the old man into the house.
"Dad, you controlled them just now, didn't you?" As soon as he entered the house, Onikasa couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart.
"Yes!" The old man made no secret of it, "You must be curious how I control them, right?" β
Onika hesitated for a moment, feeling that he shouldn't question his father at this time, but he still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and nodded.
"Witchcraft! I use the 'Order' of witchcraft to control their minds and make them obey me! The old man sat on the edge of the bed, and now he felt very tired from using a great deal of his mind to control those people.
"Dad, you're fine, are you?" Seeing that the old man's face turned a little blue, Onikasa asked worriedly.
The old man shook his head slightly: "I don't have anything to do, it's just that I'm old and useless!" Just take a break! β
Onika hurriedly went to pour a glass of water for the old man and said, "Dad, drink saliva!" You always have to take care of yourself! β
The old man saw the filial appearance of the ghost, and sighed with some emotion: "If only you were really Ah Zhong, if only you were really my son!" β
"Dad, ...... you" The old man's words made Onigasa stunned, isn't he Ah Zhong, not his biological son?
"Kid, I'm sorry!" The old man sighed, "Actually, you broke into here because you were injured. But the old woman thinks that you are our son Ah Zhong.
In order to make her happy in the last days, I sealed your memories with witchcraft, so you won't remember the past! β
"This ...... How is this possible? Onikasa looked at the old man who had always thought he was his father in disbelief, not expecting that he would deceive himself.
"You must be called 'Onikasa'!" The old man looked at Onigasa calmly, "Ah Zhonghe...... He died three years ago! β
"Dead?" Onikasa frowned and asked, "How did he die?" β
The old man blinked his dry eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said: "Three years ago, Ah Zhong wrote a letter, saying that he fell in love with a woman named Qianmei, and he would take her home to marry in the near future, and let us buy the items for marriage.
The old woman and I happily arranged everything, but what we were waiting for was Ah Zhong's corpse. The old woman couldn't afford to be sick because of this, so I invited a doctor to treat her and save her life, but her heart was sick and difficult to treat.
The old woman still refused to accept the fact that Ah Zhong was gone, and asked me to accompany her to look around. I complied with her and took her to many places to find out the murderer of Ah Zhong, the woman named Jingmei, but there was no news.
Half a year ago, my wife's health was getting worse and worse, and I had to settle her here temporarily, but I didn't expect to meet you......"
Onikasa wanted to comfort the old man not to be too sad, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "I killed someone a few days ago, and you also erased the memory?" β
"Yes!" The old man's face was full of apologies, "Today I used witchcraft and hurt my vitality, I have to wait a few days for my vitality to recover before I can awaken your memory!" β
"Who the hell are you?" Onikasa suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was very mysterious, especially his witchcraft, which was so magical that Onikasa felt terrified.
The old man felt that there was no need to hide it in front of the onikasa, so he confessed, "I am the witch king!" However, three years ago, in order to find the Jingmei who killed Ah Zhong, my wife and I faked our lives and went incognito. β
"The Witch King?" Onikasa felt that he should have heard this name, but his memory was blocked, so he asked, "How can you be sure that it was Kyumi who killed Ah Chung?" β
The old man hesitated for a moment, looked like he was out of his mind, and said, "Okay! I owe it to you, so tell you! We witches have been practicing witchcraft since childhood. When the magic power is strong enough, it will gather into a red bean-sized witch fruit in a certain part of its body.
The witch fruit can increase the power of our witchcraft, and at the same time, it is also the lifeblood of our witch clan. If the fruit is removed, we will surely die.
However, people who are not of the witch clan, after obtaining the witch fruit, implant it in the corresponding position, they can obtain the initial magic power, and they can control the minds of others.
Every Wu people know that this secret is life-threatening, and they will never tell outsiders about it.
I've checked Chung's body, and his witch fruit has been taken. The place where the witch fruit is generated varies from person to person, some are in the palm of the hand, some are on the chest, and Ah Zhong's is on the right wrist.
Except for Kyungmi, I don't think Ah Chung will tell anyone about this deadly secret. Moreover, Ah Zhong's martial arts are good, and he has a body of witchcraft, so he is not a close person, and he has absolutely no ability to take his life!
It's a pity that I'm useless, I can't find that vicious woman to avenge Ah Zhong!
Onikasa, when I recover your memory, I may give you the witch fruit, I just hope you can help me find Jingmei and avenge Ah Zhong! β
Oni Kasa was silent for a long time, and then solemnly called out: "Dad! β
"You ......," the old man looked surprised, "what do you call me?" β
"Daddy!" Oni Kasa shouted again, "I will avenge Ah Zhong's revenge, but I don't want your witch fruit!" Since I have recognized you as my father, then you are my relatives. Even if I recover my memory and have my biological father, I will be filial to you! β
"You don't blame me for sealing your memory?" The old man's eyes were red, and he felt a little crying with joy, "You don't blame me for deceiving you for so long?" β
Onigasa slowly shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that I have a conflict with the Holy Sect, if you hadn't saved me, maybe I would have died." β
"Yes...... But ......" the old man was so excited that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, the voice of the fifth brother came: "Uncle Wu, the villagers have all cleaned up!" β
Oni Kasa stretched out his hand to help the old man: "Dad! Let's get out of here! If you have anything to say, say it slowly later! β
"Good!" The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, bent down to pick up Akasa, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and walked out of the room with the help of Onikasa.
After distributing the gold from the cellar to the villagers, everyone left their long-lived homes, either to relatives or to find a new place to live.
After going to the old woman's grave to burn incense and candles, Onikasa and the old man also left the village.
"Dad, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the capital not far from here first! When you regain your memory, we'll make plans! β
