Chapter 26: The Manichaeans
The morning breeze swept through the courtyard with the fragrance of grass and dew, making Dielian couldn't help but stop and take a deep breath.
"Yu'er, if you want to stay in Jinling City, I'll buy it when I go back, clean up all the desolation in the yard, clean up the house, buy a few pieces of furniture, and wait to find Luo'er, this is our own home!" Dugu could see the joy in Butterfly Love's eyes as she wished, and she hadn't seen her like this for a long time.
Dielian frowned slightly: "How can you live here in tatters?" Why don't you ask me why I'm leaving? ”
Dugu walked towards her step by step, "I won't let you leave me again, let's go find the child together!" At this point, he hugged Dielian into his arms, but his originally warm handsome eyes showed a sharp light, "No matter who is threatening you, I will not let him go!" ”
"I won't answer if you ask, I have my last resort, and you and I will only startle the snake together! Not only can't you help me, but I'm afraid that you will make a big move, but it will be inconvenient! ”
"You look down on me so much? You ......"
"Wait, do you feel something?" Butterfly Lian interrupted Dugu as she wished, because she sensed a faint smell of blood in the wind.
"It seems that the secluded place is also troublesome!"
Dugu stared as he wished, and sure enough, he could also smell the slightest smell of blood in the breeze, and he could hear footsteps walking towards the courtyard where they were hiding.
"Someone's coming!" Butterfly Love whispered.
After finishing speaking, he and Dugu glanced at each other as they wished, and then they were pulled by him, and the two of them quietly leaned behind the low courtyard wall, looking out through the gap to check the situation.
The outside of the courtyard is also overgrown with barren grass, and the soil where the predecessors walked is solid, and it is difficult for weeds to grow, so you can still see the path clearly.
Butterfly Lian was by Dugu's side, looking at the dozens of people outside the courtyard who were coming along these barren paths, there were men and women, although they were all dressed as ordinary people, but just looking at them still walking fast in the barren and grassy land, they knew that they were not ordinary people.
What's more, the blades in their hands were shining with cold light, dazzling in the reflection of the morning sun, and the blades in the hands of several people were already red, obviously blood stains had not dried, so it was certain that they were not good people.
Dielian watched the group of people get closer and closer, and her brow furrowed even tighter, because in these people, she seemed to feel some familiar smell.
Suddenly, the crowd rioted.
I saw that several girls in the crowd who were caught and slashed by them kept screaming, and those people were inhumane, and they all leaned down to drink the gurgling blood gushing from their wounds, and the corners of their mouths were red, like demons in the world.
A delicate girl couldn't stand the torture and crashed out, her hands were still tied with ropes, and she stumbled forward, rushing straight to this dilapidated courtyard in a panic.
"Help, help me!"
She kept shouting, followed by a man who seemed to tease her, only to let go every time she was about to catch her, like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the fleeing girl finally ran out of the courtyard, and her strength had been exhausted by the run, so she could only lean helplessly against the low wall, gasping for breath. Tears slipped from her clear eyes, and she looked desperately at the man who was approaching with a cruel smile, and she covered her chest with her hands, and she couldn't even cry out in fright!
"Run! Why don't you run away? ”
The man's eyes flashed with an evil look, and as soon as he ripped off his belt, he pounced on the girl in front of him.
"Ahh
A terrible scream came from the girl's mouth, and the man seemed to enjoy it even more, closed his eyes, hugged the girl, and began to tear her shirt.
"Stop!" Butterfly Love finally couldn't help but speak.
Before the words fell, the man didn't have time to make the next move, he felt a chill in his heart, and a sharp dagger burst out of his body, and the tip of the dagger appeared on his chest with blood, and he opened his eyes suddenly, wanting to turn back in disbelief, but saw a handsome man standing behind him, his face was full of cold killing intent.
He tried to pick up the blade he had dropped on the ground and fight back, but the warmth of the morning sun quickly faded, and he lost his life as soon as it was dark.
"Yu'er, I have killed countless people, but I have never attacked unarmed people, let alone innocent civilians, but these people who stain your eyes are my list of killings."
In the face of the enemies gathered around, Dugu was merciless as he wished, he was no longer the infatuated man who could only resist, he was once again incarnated as a god of death in the morning sun, every move and every style was full of boundless anger, killing one person in one step, and more than a dozen corpses fell on the ground in just a moment.
"Spare your life! Hero, please let us go! We are also forced to do so! ”
Butterfly Love heard the sound and saw that those who didn't do it to Dugu were all women!
The clothes on their bodies are gorgeous, and their posture is not bad, but at this moment, everyone has blood on the corners of their mouths, and when they see Dugu's angry appearance as they wished, they are all so frightened that they fall to their knees and dare not move.
"Who are you?" Dugu asked as he wished.
"They're Manichaean!"
"I'm afraid that those officers and soldiers searched for these people last night, and those missing girls were probably killed in this way." ”
Dugu glanced at Dielian as he wished, and his merciless gaze swept over the group of women again, and said to Dielian in a low voice: "These people have done a lot of evil, and they can't stay!" You have been slandered as a witch, and you are the victim of these scum! ”
Butterfly was silent, she had never thought of herself as a member of Manichaeism, and it was only because the saint was her master and took the Bright Pill that she would obey the saint's orders. Now seeing that these people are so careless about human life, she naturally doesn't want to let them go, so she silently turned around, and couldn't bear to see these people die in front of her.
"It's you, it's you!"
At this moment, one of the women suddenly stepped forward, staring carefully at Dielian's back, muttering in his mouth.
When Dielian heard this, she turned around almost at the same time as Dugu Ruyi, only feeling that this woman was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
When the woman saw that Die's expression was different, she immediately cried bitterly: "It's a new saint, it's really a new saint!" We are saved, we are saved! ”
The rest of the women also wept bitterly when they heard this, but there was a fanatical joy in their eyes.
"I'm not your holy daughter, who are you?" Butterfly Lian asked coldly.
The woman quickly wiped the blood from her face, brushed her hair again, tied it into a soft woman's usual hairstyle, and said, "I'm Yunduo'er, have you forgotten?" When I first arrived in Rouran, I took care of you, and I taught you Rouran's words, although you didn't speak at that time, but I knew you could understand it! We've also picked butterfly love flowers and woven garlands together, have you forgotten them? ”
"Butterfly love flowers?"
Butterfly Love looked at the woman in front of her, her thoughts were messy, and her face gradually coincided with the face of a girl in her memory.
At that time, she had just worshipped the Holy Maiden as a teacher, and when she was learning martial arts in Rouran, she did have a maid who took care of her like a sister for more than a year, but she was soon sent by the Holy Maiden to work elsewhere.
"Are you, Sister Yunduo?"
"Yes, yes! It's me, you remember, I was sent to the Liang Kingdom by the Holy Maiden, married into the Gongqing's family, and developed the congregation in Jiangnan for Manichaeism. When the woman saw that Dielian recognized herself, she danced excitedly, "New saint, save us!" Let this hero, this hero not kill us, we don't want to die! ”
"Don't want to die? But you're all innocent! Say! Who's behind you? Dugu's voice was cold, he didn't feel a trace of warmth, and he didn't have compassion because they were women.
