Chapter Seventy-Three: The Phantom Flower 1
Coming out of the Great Forest of Beizhou, several people found a small inn in a nearby village to stay in order to rest for a while.
At night, it was quiet all around, the wind rustled the leaves, and the house dogs in the yard barked a few times.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating on his cultivation, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside the house, with powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
"Crunch~"
The doors of the three rooms opened at the same time, and the five people walked out at the same time, looked at each other, and they should have heard the sound.
"Master~"
Lin Yuan stopped Ye Fanchen and said, "Let's go out and have a look first!"
Walking out of the inn, looking for the direction of the sound and walking towards the east of the village, about five hundred meters, the five people of Lin Yuan stopped outside a small courtyard, the sound came from the house, and then heard a woman's scream.
"Xiaobao~"
"Bump~"
The woman was pushed out of the room by a powerful spiritual force and fell heavily to the ground, holding a four or five-year-old child in her arms, the child was covered in blood at this time, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have lost consciousness.
The people in the house chased after him, and in a rough voice, shouted at the woman, "Say, where is he?"
"Bang~"
The hammer in the man's hand fell from the sky again, and before it fell on the woman, he was stopped by the spirit sword in Ye Fanchen's hand, and at the same time scolded loudly, "What are you doing? ”
When the man saw Ye Fanchen, he had no intention of giving up, and the big hammer in his hand changed direction and fell in the direction of Ye Fanchen.
But what kind of person is Ye Fanchen, just the big man in front of him, he can't get into his eyes at all.
The spirit sword in his left hand was blocked in front of him, and the sword in his right hand stabbed directly into the abdomen of the black panther in front of the man from the bottom up, and the man fell to the ground.
"It's so useless, you dare to bully women and children, get out. Ye Fanchen looked condescendingly at the man kneeling on the ground, and roared wildly, the anger in his voice was something Luo Luo had never heard, and his face looked a little hideous.
The man looked at the few people in front of him who were obviously above him and knew the times, got up, and left without looking back.
Luo Luo squatted down to check the situation of the woman and the child, but it was too late, the child had long been out of breath, and the woman held the child firmly, not daring to let go at all, just sobbing lowly.
"Auntie?"
Luo Luo still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Yuan, this woman, Lin Yuan felt very familiar from the beginning of entering the courtyard, and only now did he remember that it was the couple they met in the wild training ground of the orc village, but he didn't expect to meet them at this time.
Now, then, is the time when men's wives and sons are challenged by their enemies, and their sons are killed.
Luo Luo and Ah Qi helped the woman into the house, and it took a long time before they barely calmed her down.
"Auntie, what's going on? You name it, maybe we can help you?" Luo Luo said softly with a crying voice, Luo Luo has always been an emotional person, and it is inevitable that he will empathize with such a situation.
The woman put down the child, looked at the few people in front of her and was not very old, perhaps because she was afraid that they would also get into trouble, and said, "No need, thank you for today." ”
Ye Fanchen couldn't hold on at this time, and said, "Auntie, don't worry, don't look at our young age, my master is a grandmaster, and... This aunt is the beastmaster. ”
Ye Fanchen walked behind Ah Qi and said proudly.
The woman looked at the few children under the age of twenty in front of her in disbelief, looked them up and down, and finally looked at Lin Yuan and said, "What he said is true?"
Lin Yuan nodded politely.
The woman's hand holding the child was withdrawn at this time, and she fell to her knees with a "touch".
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Luo Luo and Ah Qi hurriedly went to help.
But the woman fell to her knees, tears already well, and said, "Please, save my husband." ”
"Auntie, what is the matter with you, sit down and say. This is what Feng Zhe said, but it also represents the meaning of everyone.
Luo Luo and Ah Qi helped the woman up and sat on the edge of the bed, and the woman finally spoke, "That man is here to take revenge, yes, it was my husband who killed his wife and children." ”
The woman was stroking the child's face as she remembered something, and her expression suddenly turned remorseful.
Everyone was stunned, and Lin Yuan asked, "But what happened?"
The woman looked at Lin Yuan and nodded, confirming Lin Yuan's conjecture.
"Although my husband and wife are both cultivators, they have been living in this village and have no quarrel with the world until five years ago, when my husband reached the stage of master, went to the forest to look for the demon spirit beast, and brought back a spirit flower. ”
"A demagogic ghostly flower?"
"Yes, but this Spirit Flower is different, its spiritual power far exceeds its own spiritual power as a 10,000-year-old spirit animal, and moreover, it actually bewitched my husband. ”
When Ah Qi heard this, he said, "I haven't heard of the spirit beast bewitching the master. ”
Unless they don't really confess the Lord. Lin Yuan continued.
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, but it can also be said that it has become the master of my husband." Since then, under the bewitchment of the spirit flower, the husband has challenged the cultivators everywhere and gambled with his life, which has caused countless killings. ”
The woman looked at her son in pain, her voice a little hoarse.
"Then where is your husband now?" it was Ye Fanchen who asked this.
The woman wiped tears from her face, shook her head, and then said, "He hasn't been home for years, but sometimes there is news that he hurts people, around the cold city." ”
Lin Yuan had a rough idea in his heart, according to the time and such an abnormal behavior, it might be related to the Star Luo fragment, if so, it was necessary for them to find a man to ask for clarification.
"Cold City, it should be at the junction with the Silver Empire. Feng Zhe said.
Lin Yuan is naturally familiar, and Qingmo City, where Qinglan Academy is located, is just across the river.
"Auntie, we'll leave tomorrow to help you find it, don't cry. Ye Fanchen said enthusiastically, everything that is unfair will always have his share.
The woman finally stopped crying, choked up and said, "Thank you, I'll go with you tomorrow." ”
"Auntie, can you?" asked Luo Luo, looking at the boy lying on the bed.
The woman didn't speak, Lin Yuan asked Ye Fanchen and Feng Zhe to go to the village to do the business of the dead, to find some things to do white things, Luo Luo and Ah Qi stayed with the woman.
Lin Yuan walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, looking at the night, there were no stars, no moon, the dark night pressed down, and there were a few sobbing sounds faintly in the house, he stood like this, and probably thought of Qinglan Academy again, Ah Qi looked at him from the window, until Ye Fanchen and they came back.
The next day, the boy's funeral was simply arranged, and without stopping, several men left the village in the evening and went to the cold city.
In Ye Fanchen's domain, after the last dinner incident, Xuanyue not only did not get benefits, but was rectified by Ye Fanchen, Xuanyue swore that she must get it back, but the successive failures could only allow her to curse a few more times in her heart.
"Why don't you eat it?" Ye Fanchen was so intoxicated with the food that Xuanyue made that he didn't raise his head, he was very relieved, Xuanyue finally stopped making a fuss about food today, not to mention, eating what Xuanyue made these days is quite delicious.
The rice in Xuanyue's bowl didn't move, but she kept pulling the rice bowl with chopsticks, venting her emotions, "Still a god? Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you bullied a little girl like this?"
Ye Fanchen took a few more bites of food, and suddenly said, "The person you like is quite blessed." ”
"That's it. In terms of cooking, Xuanyue is very confident, thinking of this, she unconsciously smiled again.
Ye Fanchen suddenly stopped and said, "No wonder he can die for you." ”
"What did you say?" Xuanyue didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Nothing?" Ye Fanchen picked up the dishes and chopsticks again.
