Chapter 2: The Scourge of Drawings

After Ye Canxue agreed to Zhang Yunting, she followed Zhang Yunting all the way north. Zhang Yunting wanted to take Ye Yanxue back to his hometown, that is, Lanting County, the capital of Tiandu Kingdom. However, Zhang Yunting's hometown is not in the city, but in a village called Zhangjiacun under the jurisdiction of Lanting County.

Along the way, Zhang Yunting found that he liked Ye Canxue, a sensible child, more and more. In the end, Zhang Yunting actually took the initiative to recognize Ye Canxue as his grandson! There may be Zhang Yunting's selfishness in this, but more of it is his love for Ye Canxue, a child whose fate is tragic.

On this day, Zhang Yunting suddenly said seriously to Ye Yanxue: "Xue'er! I have something to tell you frankly!"

"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Ye Yanxue looked at her newly recognized grandfather suspiciously.

Zhang Yunting looked at Ye Yanxue and said, "That's right, grandpa has a way to help you change your physique, but this method is very dangerous, once it doesn't succeed, your life will be in danger." Of course, if you succeed, you will be able to become the only person with a six-vein Xuantian physique in history!"

Ye Yanxue's expression instantly turned cold, and asked, "Grandpa, are you saying that if you help me change my physique, will my life be in danger?" Why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"

Zhang Yunting said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, grandpa was also selfish at that time! I'm afraid that you are not willing to risk your life to change your physique, so I hide it from you! I hope you can understand grandpa's distress." ”

Ye Yanxue knew that at that time, grandpa was only meeting him for the first time, so naturally he wouldn't tell him everything. However, along the way, it is obvious that grandpa has regarded himself as a relative by his side! Thinking about it, Ye Yanxue smiled: "Grandpa, I understand you, but you can't lie to me in the future!"

Zhang Yunting smiled, and gently pinched Ye Yanxue's little face with one hand, and then said, "Of course, grandpa will definitely not lie to Xue'er in the future!"

Ye Yanxue also smiled, and asked in her mouth, "Grandpa, what's the matter with helping me change my physique?"

When Zhang Yunting heard this, he explained: "Well, if you want to be able to cultivate the truth, you must recreate the new six meridians. And in the process of destruction and rebirth of these six veins, it will be quite painful, and once you can't bear the pain in it, you will lose all your efforts. You'll be painful to death! Cher, you make your own decisions about this matter. If you want, tell me. Zhang Yunting didn't mention that no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would lose his skills because he helped Ye Yanxue change his physique, and he would never be able to cultivate again. Obviously, his concern for this Ye Remnant Xue came from the heart.

Ye Yanxue showed a contemplative look and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me what the six-vein Xuantian physique is?"

Zhang Yunting explained: "The six-vein Xuantian physique, simply put, is a transformation of extreme waste, and it is the best cultivation physique, and in history, there has never been a person with a six-vein Xuantian physique. So, this also shows that the level of danger is very high! There have been two remnants of the Six-Veined String Heaven with the same physique as yours in history, but in the end, they both failed and died because they could not bear the pain of the destruction and rebirth of the Six Pulses. Saying that, Zhang Yunting showed a heavy look on his face, which meant to let Ye Yanxue think carefully.

Ye Canxue looked at Zhang Yunting's serious appearance, and suddenly smiled: "Grandpa, why do you feel that you are more nervous than me? Don't worry, I, Ye Canxue, say the same! Since the matter decided, there is no remorse!"

In this way, Ye Yanxue followed Zhang Yunting and hurried continuously, and finally arrived at Zhangjia Village in the early morning three days later.

Zhangjia Village is an ordinary village, and all the households together are less than 100 households. However, two hundred years ago, Zhangjiacun produced a heaven-level powerhouse, Zhang Yunting, so the name of Zhangjiacun immediately spread far and wide, becoming the most famous small village within a radius of 100 miles. At the same time, because of Zhang Yunting's relationship, the emperor of Tiandu Kingdom personally ordered that all taxes in Zhangjia Village be exempted.

Zhangjia Village, because of the rise of Zhang Yunting, the entire Zhangjia Village has undergone earth-shaking changes, it can be said that every person in Zhangjia Village will feel particularly proud when they go out, because they Zhangjia Village has walked out of a heaven-level powerhouse.

"Grandpa, is this your hometown, Zhangjia Village, so beautiful!" Ye Yanxue looked at the houses not far away, and said secretly in her heart: "The houses in Zhangjia Village are not worse than the houses in Tongling Town! It seems that the people here live very well!"

Zhang Yunting hasn't been back for a long time, and looking at the changes in his hometown, his heart suddenly feels a lot of emotion. In the past, in Zhangjia Village, where there were such buildings made of stone, some were thatched houses with tiles and bricks.

As Zhang Yunting and Ye Yanxue kept approaching Zhangjia Village, Zhang Yunting showed a puzzled look on his face. muttered, "No, why, I haven't seen a figure for so long?"

Ye Yanxue said disappreciably: "Maybe it's because it's morning, everyone is sleeping at home!"

Zhang Yunting shook his head, looked at the empty Zhangjia Village, and faintly smelled a smell of blood! As he spoke, Zhang Yunting subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

Ye Chanxue suddenly said excitedly: "Grandpa, look! There is a stone tablet here!" Saying that, Ye Canxue had already run to the stone tablet and looked carefully at the stone tablet.

No matter how Ye Canxue looks, she can only recognize the words 'Zhang and Yun' from it. I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, is your name engraved on this?"

Zhang Yunting also walked up, this stone tablet was specially carved by the villagers in order to commemorate the year when he advanced to the heavenly level and became an elder of the Tianshan faction two hundred years ago. Seeing this stele, Zhang Yunting remembered his only nephew, and this stele was carved by his only nephew in Yidu County.

Ye Yanxue looked at Zhang Yunting with a sigh on her face, knowing that her grandfather was thinking about things, she looked carefully at the stele, but suddenly found that there was a crack in the stele, which ran through the entire stele.

Ye Yanxue was very puzzled, and stretched out her hand to stroke towards the crack of the stone tablet.

"Boom!"

As soon as his hand touched the crack, the stele cracked open and broke into two pieces, and then one fell to the ground.

Zhang Yunting and Ye Canxue both looked stunned, and Ye Canxue said: "How can this be? I just touched it lightly, and I didn't use any force!"

Zhang Yunting's face suddenly turned ugly, and an invisible murderous aura spread from his body. Immediately, the whole person quickly flew towards Zhangjia Village!

Ye Yanxue looked at Zhang Yunting's flying away figure, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and then ran towards Zhangjia Village quickly.

Before Ye Chanxue entered Zhangjia Village, she heard Zhang Yunting's angry roar from a house from a distance! Ye Canxue's heart beat faster, and she knew that something had happened to this Zhangjia Village! Otherwise, the stone tablet recorded Zhang Yunting's legend and was the pride of the entire Zhangjia Village, and it would definitely not be broken.

Ye Yanxue walked into the room that Zhang Yunting had just walked into, her eyes suddenly widened, and she saw that there was a corpse lying in the room, and the room was even more stained with blood.

Ye Canxue took a closer look, and saw that there were three other corpses, the death was terrifying, and everyone was almost in a different place. The blood on the ground had long since solidified and dried. Apparently, dead for a while.

Ye Yanxue still had to see what was going on, but she heard Zhang Yunting's heart-rending roar again. Ye Yanxue hurriedly ran out, only to see that Zhang Yunting's face was difficult to see the extreme, and even the long hair coiled on his head was scattered at some point.

Zhang Yunting roared angrily: "Who is it? Who did it? I want to break you into ten thousand pieces!"

Ye Yanxue hurriedly ran up, took Zhang Yunting's big hand, and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, calm down!

Zhang Yunting never thought that he had not come back for many years, but now when he came back, he saw that his entire clan had been killed! No matter how high Zhang Yunting's heart cultivation was, he was extremely excited at this time.

Zhang Yunting raised his head and let out a long roar, and then said to Ye Yanxue: "Xue'er, you go and see if there is still any survival, I will go and find out the corpses of the clansmen." Saying that, Zhang Yunting seemed to be old in an instant, and his words revealed indescribable desolation.

Ye Chanxue searched from house to house, but every time she looked for a house, Ye Chanxue found that the room was turned into a mess, and there was no one alive at all.

Ye Yanxue walked into the house again, and there were also two corpses with different heads lying inside, and the room was also turned into a mess. Ye Yanxue carefully searched for every place where people could hide, and at the same time still shouted in her mouth: "Is there anyone?"

When Ye Canxue almost subconsciously wanted to give up, she suddenly faintly heard a little sound, Ye Canxue almost didn't think about it, so she ran towards the source of the sound, and shouted at the same time: "Is there anyone?"

Ye Yanxue ran to a stone brick and shouted at the stone brick wall, "Is there someone inside?"

However, there was no sound again, only a cold stone wall. However, Ye Yanxue was almost certain that she had heard a voice from here just now. So he hurriedly walked out of the room and shouted to Zhang Yunting: "Grandpa, grandpa, come here and take a look, there is an abnormality here." ”

Zhang Yunting put the body that had just been moved out of a room in the open space where Zhangjia Village was gathered, and walked quickly towards Ye Yanxue. "Xue'er, what's abnormal?"

Ye Yanxue walked into the room with Zhang Yunting, pointed to a stone wall and said, "Grandpa, I just heard it, there is a voice inside this stone wall." However, as soon as I spoke, there was no voice. ”

Zhang Yunting looked at the stone wall, nodded and said, "Xue'er, you get out of the way, I'll come." As he spoke, the sword in Ye Yanxue's hand was unsheathed, shining with a cold aura.

The sword in Zhang Yunting's hand waved, and he only heard a sound of "snort!", and the stone wall suddenly shattered.

Zhang Yunting and Ye Canxue were almost all happy, but they saw a little girl squatting in the stone wall, holding her head in her hands, and a pair of frightened eyes were staring at Zhang Yunting and Ye Canxue.

Zhang Yunting turned to the little girl and asked, "Are you from Zhangjia Village? What is going on here? How can this be?"

The little girl looked the same size as Ye Yanxue, but in the face of Zhang Yunting's questioning, she was silent. A pair of eyes full of fear, staring at the two corpses in different places, tears sliding down her eyes.

Ye Yanxue hurriedly said: "Little sister, grandpa is Zhang Yunting, we won't harm you, don't be afraid!"

Hearing this, the little girl's expression changed instantly, her body almost trembled, her eyes looked at Zhang Yunting again, but she suddenly cried out loud. However, the little girl was clearly not on guard at the beginning.

Zhang Yunting finally learned from the little girl's mouth that the village was the night before yesterday, and a group of people dressed in black and masked with black cloth suddenly came. As soon as they entered the village, they began a massacre of dehumanization.

The little girl's name is Zhang Yuxin, and she is the little granddaughter of Zhang Yunting's only nephew. At the moment when the man in black entered the village, Zhang Yuxin's father told her that these people came for a drawing that he had accidentally obtained in Zhangjia Village, and at the same time, handed the drawing to Zhang Yuxin and hid Zhang Yunting in the stone wall. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yuxin was able to escape in the end.

"Drawings, what drawings?" Zhang Yunting suddenly realized that the entire village had been destroyed, and this drawing would be the only clue to find the murderer. Moreover, Zhang Yunting was almost sure that this drawing must be of extraordinary value, otherwise, with Zhang Yunting's strength, there was really no force in the Tiandu Kingdom that was willing to form such a blood feud with him.

Zhang Yuxin took out an incomplete drawing from his arms, handed it to Zhang Yunting, and said, "This is the drawing." ”

Ye Yanxue looked curiously towards the drawing, only to see that the drawing was a little yellowish and a little wrinkled, and more importantly, it was still a broken drawing. His mouth was puzzled: "Just for such a piece of broken paper, you actually killed the people of a village?"

Zhang Yunting looked at this mutilated drawing carefully, although Zhang Yunting couldn't see the reason, but he could see from this paper that this mutilated drawing must be precious and abnormal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used the most precious 'pear wood paper' in the Kyushu mainland. The value of this pear wood paper alone is as high as dozens of purple coins. If it is not an important treasure, it is impossible to use this kind of pear wood paper that does not melt when it encounters water, does not catch fire when encountered, and never decays.

Zhang Yunting put the incomplete drawings into his storage bag, and then took Ye Yanxue and Zhang Yuxin to bury all the people in the village.

After all this is done, the time of the day has passed. Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yuxin swore a heavy oath in front of the graves of their families, not to find out the murderer, not to avenge the revenge of the clan, and to swear not to be human!

After Zhang Yunting finished everything, he took Ye Yanxue and Zhang Yuxin and left Zhangjia Village, and at the same time, when passing by the broken stone tablet, Zhang Yunting turned the stone tablet into powder with a sword.

After leaving Zhangjia Village, along the way, Zhang Yunting frowned, as if he was in a bad mood, and Zhang Yuxin, who was taken by Zhang Yunting, did not speak along the way, and it seemed that the shadow of the extermination had been hovering in his mind.

Ye Canxue finally couldn't help it, and asked Zhang Yunting, "Grandpa, where are we going?" Originally, Zhang Yunting said that he would change his physique in Zhangjia Village, and then live in Zhangjia Village and teach himself to cultivate the truth wholeheartedly. However, now, unexpectedly, Zhangjiacun encountered the extermination of the clan.

Zhang Yunting said to Ye Yanxue: "Xue'er, I'll take you to a friend's house." After settling you, I will take Yu Xin to the Tianshan Mountains. ”

When Ye Yanxue heard this, she was shocked, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, are you going to leave me?"

Zhang Yunting looked at Ye Yanxue, and pinched his cute little face with one hand. Only then did he smile: "Child, grandpa didn't expect this, it's just that there are some things that we can't control and imagine." As he spoke, Zhang Yunting let out a long sigh. All of a sudden, it seems that he has aged a lot, and it seems that this matter of exterminating the clan has a great impact on Zhang Yunting, a cultivator.

Cultivating the truth is against the sky, and we should leave behind family affection, let go of worldly distractions, and wholeheartedly pursue the limits of heaven. However, this cultivation realm is inherently connected with the secular realm, so most cultivators, even if they are heaven-level powerhouses, are also unable to truly leave their family affection and worldly distractions. This may be a major flaw of the Kyushu Continent, the cultivators!

Ye Yanxue wanted to say something, but after thinking about it in her heart, she didn't say it in the end, she just buried her head and stopped making a sound.

The reason why Zhang Yunting has such an idea is actually after careful consideration. Zhang Yunting never thought that his clan would be wiped out because of an inexplicable drawing. Zhang Yuxin, the only surviving one, has a very close relationship with him, and he is Zhang Yuxin's great-grandfather.

If it weren't for Zhang Yunting seeing that Zhang Yuxin was a natural cultivation genius, perhaps, he would not have let go of Ye Yanxue and took Zhang Yuxin to the Tianshan faction. However, this Zhang Yuxin is a genius of cultivation, and he is the kind of genius who has not been encountered in a thousand years, he wants to take Zhang Yuxin to the Tianshan faction in public and private, and accept Zhang Yuxin as a disciple of the Tianshan Mountains.

The Kyushu Continent, the four major sects, over the years, the open and secret battles, the form has intensified. From the comparison of sect masters, to the competition of disciples' talents, staged to a rookie competition held by the martial arts academy once every twenty years. Every rookie competition is a collision between the four major schools and the martial arts academy.

In the past hundred years, although the Tianshan Sect has always had the upper hand, in recent years, the disciples of the Tianshan Sect have rarely appeared with outstanding disciples with extraordinary talents. If this continues, the next rookie competition will suffer a big loss! On the surface, the rookie competition is a competition between new disciples, but secretly it is a competition between martial arts academies and the four major sects, and the powerful relationship between this is of great significance.

Of course, Zhang Yunting also thought about bringing Ye Remnantxue into the Tianshan faction, but because of his selfish thoughts, he finally decided not to take Ye Remnantxue to the Tianshan faction. Because, if Ye Canxue succeeds in changing his physique, it means that Ye Canxue will definitely be extraordinary on the road of cultivating truth in the future. Because of this, Zhang Yunting decided to let Ye Yanxue take the cultivation path that he once wanted to take, but did not take. If Ye Yanxue fails to change his physique, he naturally doesn't have to think about everything. Because, if he fails, Ye Canxue will definitely die.

Don't forget to collect it if you think it's good-looking!
