Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Sad Moment

The original pursuit of the Power Sect was purely personal bravery, and in order to gain great power, the middle and upper echelons of the sect spared no effort to search for martial arts secrets and drugs that can stimulate people's potential. A certain generation of Emperor Li's martial arts has indeed reached the pinnacle, and this generation of Emperor Lihuang has repeatedly challenged the famous martial arts masters, and has never been defeated after a hundred battles, which can be described as complacent. However, because the Power Sect is a cult, it has also committed a lot of sins in the past in pursuit of power, especially its murder and heart-digging are even more frightening, and the imperial court often kills them. Once Emperor Li was deeply encircled, and with his superb martial arts, he finally turned the danger into a disaster, but he also suffered heavy losses. At that time, this generation of Emperor Li deeply felt: no matter how strong a personal martial arts is, he can only kill a few people, even if he has power, even if he has no power to restrain the chicken, the destruction of the city and the country is only a flick of his fingers, and power is the real power. Since then, the Emperor has been committed to seizing power, repeatedly launching rebellions among his followers, and finally died on the battlefield. However, his successors were deeply convinced of his views, and since then, the Power Sect has often taken advantage of natural and man-made disasters to launch starving uprisings. As a result, the Sect of Power became the number one cult of the dynasty.

Wei Zeng returned to the camp after losing to Wan Tianquan, and his already slightly better mood deteriorated again. The next day, Wei Zeng beckoned Weizhen and Gu Chayi to go on the road, but fortunately, after a day's hard work, Weizhen also arranged things properly, and those homeless people could also handle their own affairs.

Wei Zeng still stopped talking along the way, thinking only about the two things of revenge and strengthening his strength. "If you want revenge, you must increase your strength, and if you don't have strength, you can only be slaughtered by others. Those power cultists are treacherous, but the pursuit of power is indeed a great desire of man. Wei Zeng said in his heart.

It was learned from several groups of displaced people that the Jingnan army had already engaged the main force of the yellow-clothed rebel army, and the yellow-clothed rebel army had begun to rout. Fearing the horror of the Jing Yan army, these displaced people were ready to flee to other counties or to the deep mountains and forests, and then make plans to return to their hometowns when the Jing Nan army retreated. Wei Zeng had never seen a village that was still intact all the way, and the Jingnan army was stationed in the county town, Wei Zeng didn't know the situation, but how good it could be in the hands of the Jingnan army.

After two days of traveling, avoiding several patrolling groups of Jingnan soldiers, Wei Zeng finally arrived at his hometown. Before he arrived, Wei Zeng still had illusions, fantasizing that the small village was still standing on the land of Yanbei, and it was still the same as when he left. Now that he arrived, seeing the village that should be burned to the ground, Wei Zeng finally couldn't help but kneel down and weep bitterly.

Wei Zeng heard that when the Jingnan army first arrived, the people of Yanbei did not know that the catastrophe was coming, and they also took out food to welcome the arrival of the Jingnan army. Therefore, in the southern part of the four counties, few people had time to escape, and most of the villagers died in Huangquan without knowing it. Unfortunately, Wei Zeng's village is just south of the four counties, which is the case.

Although Wei Zeng had expected it before he came, it was still unbearable to see the real scene. When he left here three years ago, he just wanted to learn martial arts and slash his enemies. Now the enemy is dead, and everyone is dead. the grandparents who met him on the street and pretended not to know, but secretly stuffed things for himself; Although he is not too talented, he also likes to talk about a somewhat stubborn teacher; Those naughty boys in the village who have fought with themselves and Xiao Zheng who helped them fight; The east of the village likes to tell stories under the big locust tree and play chess. Everything was dissipated into dust on this land with this military disaster.

Wei Zeng had never been so sad, he cried when his mother died, but when he thought of revenge, he stepped on the road to return to Wu; Although life has been hard in the past few years, it is sweat but not tears; When Miss Feng was taken away a few months ago, she felt distressed and powerless, but at least she still had a direction to work on.

"No, everything. The enemy is gone, and neither are the others. Since then, there is no longer such a village in Yanbei. From now on, there will be no one living here, and no one will have anything to do with me. This is really not the outcome I wanted, I just want to kill the enemy and get out of here. ”

Wei Zeng suddenly stood up and ran towards the village, searching the ruins of the village, as if trying to find any trace of the living. Wei Zhen and Gu Cha were afraid that something would happen to Wei Zeng, so they hurriedly followed. Wei Zeng walked through the ruins, and just as he was nearing despair, his gaze followed the east to see a hut. The hut was some distance from the village, so it didn't burn down, but it looked like it was dilapidated and uninhabited for a long time. Wei Zeng saw that his former home was still there, and he walked away with the last bit of hope. Passing by the big locust tree at the east end of the village, which had been burned into a charcoal stick, Wei Zeng came to his former home. The fence had been destroyed, one side of the wall had collapsed, and only half of the roof of the house remained. There was no one in the room, but at least there were some impressions of the past, which was a kind of subtle support.

I don't know how long it took for the sky to get dark, Wei Zeng knelt in front of his mother's grave and bowed his head and bowed. At this time, Wei Zeng had regained his calm, although his face was not good-looking, and his eyes were sad and angry, but at least this could be called calm, although it was superficial.

"Brother Wei, is this Auntie's tomb?" Wei Zhen walked next to Wei Zeng and knelt down and bowed a few times.

"Yes. Three years ago, I buried my mother here. Wei Zeng replied.

"Brother Wei, you have to mourn, and then we have to live. I think Auntie also wants to see your happy life. Weizhen comforted.

"I'm not sad anymore, in fact, I had already guessed the scene here before I arrived, but I just didn't want to believe it. Now that I'm convinced, I won't be sad. I have other things to do now, and I really don't have time to be sad. Wei Zeng replied.

"Then Brother Wei, what are you going to do next?" Wei Zhen asked.

"Revenge! This time the calamity in my hometown was all caused by the Power Sect and the Jing Yan Army, and I, Wei Zeng, made a vow to never die in this life and the hatred between the two. Wei Zeng said, his eyes widening and his anger burning.

"Revenge." Wei Zhen was also shocked when he saw Wei Zeng's fierce eyes, and said, "Brother Wei is planning to find the strength sect and the Jingnan army to fight hard?" This is unacceptable. There are many powerful people in the power sect and the Jingnan army, and although Brother Wei is powerful, it is difficult to fight against so many people. ”

"I'm not crazy yet, so naturally I won't do that thing to die, and I can't take revenge like that." Wei Zeng said.

"I said too, how could Brother Wei do these unwise things." Wei Zhen stroked his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Then Brother Wei, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

"If you want to take revenge, you naturally want to kill the first evil, and I will definitely try my best to get rid of the leader of this power sect and the Jingnan army in the future." Wei Zeng said hatefully.

Wei Zhen said: "How can this leader of the Jingnan Army and the Power Sect be a good character, Brother Wei will definitely be in danger in the future when he makes this decision." But fortunately, Brother Wei is still calm, and with Brother Wei's wit, he can turn the danger into a disaster in the future. ”

"Brother Wei, no matter what you want to do in the future, I will follow you and find a way to help you. Brother Wei wants revenge, well, Brother Wei's business is Zhen'er's business, although Zhen'er is weak, he will also help Brother Wei kill those bad people. Wei Zhen said.

"Zhen'er, do you really want to follow me?" Wei Zeng heard Wei Zhen say this, and responded: "Actually, Zhen'er, you are kind by nature, and it is not good for you to fight and kill with Brother Wei like this." Brother Wei wants to find you a good family to marry, so that you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. In fact, it's much better than following me on a risk. ”

"Brother Wei, are you trying to drive me away? I want to follow Brother Wei all the time. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as Brother Wei is by my side, I am not afraid. If Brother Wei thinks that I am a drag and don't want me one day, I will never pester you. Wei Zhen said very resolutely.

Wei Zeng groaned, then raised his head to look at Wei Zhen, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will never fail you." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhen was moved and hugged Wei Zeng in his heart. Wei Zeng responded, tightly environmental protection and truthfulness. The two embraced.

Gu Chayi stood in the distance and looked at Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen, this time he didn't follow. Because of what happened last time, Weizhen counted him many times. Gu Chayi was also worried about Wei Zeng, but he didn't know what to do. In the end, I saw Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen hugging each other. As soon as Gu Cha understood something, his heart seemed to have lost something. But he still didn't understand, he didn't know why he wasn't happy for them when he watched the relationship between the two friends go further, but this sour feeling. Since you don't understand, don't think about it, this is Gu Chayi's consistent style.

That night, the three of them inhabited Wei Zeng's former home. At night, the wind started, and soon the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the stars and moon were gone. Then thunder and lightning fell with raindrops. Wei Zeng's old home could not shelter from the wind, but it could barely shelter from the rain. The three of them huddled in the corner, but they could barely keep their bodies wet. The Yanbei Plain finally ushered in the first rain of the year, which was very sufficient, but it satisfied the hearts of Yanbei farmers. But for the people in the four counties of Yanbei, isn't this rain too late? The rain washed away the filth and irritability in the air, the smoke and blood on the earth, and seemed to want to wash away everything that had passed.

The next day, in the early morning twilight, Wei Zeng, Wei Zhen and Gu Cha breathed in the fresh air and set out on the road again. For Wei Zeng, this trip to Yanbei did not resolve the hatred in his heart, and this hatred was deeply deepened. The old enemy is dead, but the new enemy is so powerful. But Wei Zeng couldn't give up this hatred, he was determined to get justice for his dead father in his hometown, even if he hadn't received much favor from his hometown before, even if this justice could only be sought by himself.

"Recklessness can't solve everything, strong martial arts and precise planning are the weapons of revenge." Wei Zeng said secretly in his heart. Looking at Wei Zhen and Gu Cha Yi who followed him all the way, Wei Zeng thought that maybe he was not alone.
