Chapter 217: Reason

The sudden intrusion of the red figure startled both the living corpse and the single blacksmith.

"Red!" blacksmith shouted in panic, and it was his daughter Redcoat who stood in front of him, which he had not expected.

Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan both looked in the direction of the single blacksmith with some surprise, didn't Hongyi stay at the village chief's house, how could he run out?

The fist was getting closer and closer to the red clothes, and the petite and thin figure of the red clothes seemed to be torn apart at any time under the fierce fist wind.

"No!!" Seeing the fist instantly reach the front of the red cloth, the single blacksmith turned pale, his eyes were cracked, and he let out a desperate cry.

The fist smashed on Hongyi's head in only an instant, and just when Ning Fan thought that Hongyi would definitely die, Hongyi's head blurred, like smoke, and the fist directly penetrated Hongyi's head, and the remaining strength of the fist wind directly knocked the single blacksmith out and landed not far away, a mouthful of blood spurted out, but he didn't care, staring at the direction of Hongyi.

The living corpse withdrew its fist, and the body of the red cloth returned to its original state, looking at the red clothes in front of him, the living corpse seemed to be stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a trace of struggle, and his mouth muttered: "Red ...... Clothes ......"

Hongyi heard the murmur of the living corpse, a smile appeared on his face, he opened his mouth, and said two words, although he was just making a mouth shape, but those two words were - brother, after speaking, Hongyi slowly fell to the ground.

Ning Fan thought that the living corpse was going to attack the red cloth, and when the living corpse relaxed his vigilance, he directly slapped his palm on the chest of the living corpse, and the huge energy poured out, knocking the huge body of the living corpse out, although the living corpse was knocked away, its eyes were still looking at the red clothes on the ground, and a tear seemed to overflow from the corner of its eye......

Boom!

The gigantic body of the living corpse smashed to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.

The living corpse was still struggling to get up from the ground, but suddenly, it stopped moving, and the long sword pierced through its head, and it turned out that Xiao Liyan had come behind it and dealt it a fatal blow......

"Red-clothed ......" Shan Blacksmith ran to Red-clothed like crazy, hugged Red-clothed tightly in his arms, although Red-clothed fell, but not unconscious, looking at her father, she stretched out her little hand to wipe away the tears on Shan Blacksmith's face, and said with a smile: "Daddy, don't worry, Red-clothed is not human, it won't die so easily, Red-clothed still has to ...... Stay by Daddy's side......" The more she spoke, the lower Hongyi's voice became, and suddenly black gas gushed out from her body, surging towards Hongyi's eyebrows, and the sudden explosion of black qi directly made Hongyi fall into a coma.

Ning Fan was shocked, this was the aura of the earth, could it be caused by the living corpse just now? Seeing the painful look on Hongyi's face, he didn't think about it anymore, but he was sure that the ice beads in his body should be able to save Hongyi.

He was just about to touch the red clothes with his hand, but the blacksmith shook his hand away and said coldly, "Don't touch her!"

Ning Fan knew that he was in an emotional state now, but he didn't flinch, but patiently explained: "She in red is now invaded by the earth's evil qi, and if she is not treated in time, her life will be in danger, I can save her." ”

Shan Blacksmith hesitated, looked at Ning Fan's sincere expression, put the red clothes in his arms on the ground, Ning Fan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the red clothes's wrists, and the ice beads in his body once again suctioned, slowly absorbing the earth evil qi in the red clothes's body.

As the aura of the earth evil slowly decreased, the face of the red cloth eased a lot, and the single blacksmith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

When the last of the earthly evil qi was absorbed, Ning Fan gently lowered the wrist of the red cloth, and the single blacksmith hurriedly stepped forward, looking at the red cloth's face that was still pale but obviously much better, and a smile appeared on his anxious face.

Bang!

A loud noise came out, Ning Fan and the single blacksmith turned their heads to look, and a figure flew in the direction of Ning Fan and them, this person was actually Xiao Liyan, Ning Fan subconsciously hugged Xiao Liyan, but the impact force also flew out with him, and when he landed, Ning Fan gritted his teeth, threw himself down, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ning Fan endured the pain and said to Xiao Liyan, but he didn't get any answer, when he looked up, Xiao Liyan's cheeks were flushed, Ning Fan was a little strange, but he heard Xiao Liyan's mosquito-like voice.

"Your hand ......"

Only then did Ning Fan notice the softness in his hand, and hurriedly let go of his hand and apologized to Xiao Liyan, Xiao Liyan blushed and shook her head, she didn't blame Ning Fan for having the right to do things.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was instantly cold.

Just when the two were silent, a roar attracted the attention of the two, and Xiao Liyan remembered that he was shot out by a living corpse.

At this time, the living corpse was completely covered by the black air current, and the skin of the living corpse also began to fester, and black liquid continued to drip on the ground, and as soon as the liquid landed, it emitted a foul smell, and quickly corroded the ground, and the dripping ground instantly became unrecognizable, without its original appearance.

Although the appearance of the living corpse is quite miserable, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems to be breaking through!

"It's not good, it's breaking through the Corpse King realm!" Xiao Liyan said.

Ning Fan's face turned ugly, before this living corpse broke through, Xiao Liyan was a little tired of coping, and now that he has broken through, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with.

......

Purple gas comes from the east, the sun rises in the east, the first rays of sunlight shine in the world, the sunlight shines on the living corpse wrapped in black gas, the black gas seems to be afraid of the sun's rays, and it burrows into the body of the living corpse, the arrival of the day makes the living corpse very uncomfortable, the momentum that has been rising has become slow, it knows that now is not the time to break through, it turned its head to look at the red clothes in the arms of the single blacksmith, and the pupils of its eyes suddenly revealed a touch of complexity, but it did not make any movement, stepped on the soles of its feet, leaving a trace of afterimage on the ground, and disappeared in the wind and rain village, the speed has increased a lot compared to before, and it seems that the improvement of strength has also increased its speed。

Ning Fan looked at the light of the world, and suddenly it was dawn, they escaped the catastrophe, if it wasn't for dawn, the living corpse might really break through to the realm of the corpse king, even Xiao Liyan might not be able to stop this living corpse.

At dawn, the villagers of Fengyu Village cautiously pushed open the door, paying attention to the movements around the village, and only after confirming that there was no danger did they dare to come out.

They walked to the center of the village one after another, and saw that the center of the village was in a mess, and there were still corpses on the ground, and all of them had some fear on their faces.

"Isn't this the missing Da Zhuang?" suddenly a villager pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, as the villager reminded him, the rest of the village found that the humanoid corpses on the ground seemed to be missing people in the village, and naturally they couldn't help but feel sad.

Blacksmith Shan suddenly felt movement in his arms, and when he looked down, it turned out that Hongyi had woken up and was smiling at him, which made Blacksmith Shan can't help but hug the daughter in his arms.

Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan glanced at each other, and the two stepped forward together, and said to Blacksmith Shan, "Uncle Shan, do you have something to hide from us?"

The single blacksmith bowed his head and was silent, which made Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan even more convinced.

"Uncle Shan, if I'm not mistaken, your daughter Hongyi is not a human being, but a soul body. Xiao Liyan continued.

The blacksmith hugged his daughter tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, the daughter in his arms would dissipate.

Although Ning Fan was a little skeptical, when he heard Xiao Liyan's affirmative words, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart, the living girl in front of him was actually just a soul body.

"Uncle Shan, why does that living corpse want to kill you so much, it controls the corpse to attack, or shows its body to kill you, you want us to help deal with the living corpse, but you have to tell us the truth. Xiao Liyan's tone was flat, but she could still hear that she was very angry, after all, she asked for help but didn't tell the truth, and they almost lost their lives last night, can you not be angry.

Blacksmith Shan remained silent, the red clothes in his arms did not speak, but just tugged on the collar of the single blacksmith, the single blacksmith saw the red clothes looking at him with pleading eyes, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and finally sighed, looked up and said, "That's right, I do have something to hide from you......"

......

"I know this living corpse because it is my former apprentice Ran Feixing. The first sentence of the single blacksmith surprised Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan, the living corpse was actually the apprentice of the single blacksmith.

"In the past, when my cultivation was not abolished, I adopted a child, when the red clothes were just full moon, because this child was talented and intelligent, so I accepted this child as an apprentice, taught him to read, taught him to practice, he had a very good relationship with us, and I also regarded him as my own son, but who knew that because of an accident, my enemy came to the door, I was not at home that day, and my wife's cultivation was not high, and when I came back, there were only corpses left at home......" Speaking of this, Blacksmith Shan spoke in a trembling voice, with a sad look on his face, and the red-clothed man sitting next to him held his hand, and Blacksmith Shan smiled at her and continued.

"Maybe it's good luck that I found the red dress in a corner of my house, in this way. I think it's because she's born with a strong soul that she can survive this way!" the blacksmith sighed and continued.

"Later, I buried all their corpses together, and set up a tombstone, I took the red clothes to find the enemy, I stabbed him, but I lost my own cultivation, so I took the red clothes to this wind and rain village to live in seclusion, I thought this was the end of the matter, but just a few months ago I actually saw Ran Feixing again in the village, I can be sure that he is dead, because I buried him with my own hands, but I can't understand why he appeared here, thinking about it, there is only one possibility, he has become a living corpse. I tried to communicate with him, but he ignored me, and kept trying to kill me, I think he might be complaining about me, complaining about why I wasn't at home that day, so that my wife and them were miserable, because he was still very weak at the time, and couldn't hurt anyone, so I didn't care about him, who knew that after a month, he actually started attacking the villagers, and I couldn't beat him, and he didn't listen, for the sake of the villagers, I proposed to the village chief to ask the Sword Sect to help......" After saying so many words, Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan were silent, it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong in this matter, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame fate for playing tricks on people, so that the single blacksmith has experienced so many things.

Xiao Liyan turned around and looked into the distance, the crisp sound made Shan Blacksmith's body tremble, and a tear flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head and didn't want people to find out.

"It is estimated that the living corpse will not be able to break through during the day today, it can only break through at night with the help of the earth's evil qi, and the movement of the living corpse breaking through the corpse king is very great, so we can rest for a day during the day, and then go to find the living corpse at night, we can take advantage of the opportunity for it to break through and kill him!"

Why do you want to help the blacksmith, maybe even Xiao Liyan himself can't say the reason, originally encountered this kind of situation of asking for help, but hiding some things, anyone will probably be angry, and then leave the burden and leave. The reason why he continued to help the single blacksmith was perhaps because of the tragic experience of the single blacksmith, or maybe it was because of pity for the villagers of Fengyu Village, or maybe it was because of something else......

Because the village was going to hold a small funeral for the dead villagers, most of the people in the village went, and there were only a few people left in the village. Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan didn't follow, they went to the house of the single blacksmith to accompany the red clothes, since the single blacksmith confessed everything, maybe he was ashamed, and he didn't go to talk to Ning Fan and them again, and he didn't participate in the funeral in the village, but silently made a puppet in the courtyard and closed himself off.

Ning Fan glanced at the scene of Xiao Liyan reading with red clothes in the room, turned his head and walked into the courtyard, looked at the busy single blacksmith in the courtyard, and sighed, the single blacksmith has also experienced a lot of things, and he is also a poor person, although he hides some facts from them, it can be seen that he is also very guilty in his heart, and he may not want to mention the tragic memories of the past.

Thinking of this, Ning Fan somewhat understood why the blacksmith wanted to hide some things, and was a little sad about the past, and mentioning it again was to tear the old wound again. The current blacksmith must be very sad in his heart, he didn't protect the person he wanted to protect, and now his closest people want to kill him, and he must feel uncomfortable.

Ning Fan walked to Blacksmith Shan's side with a smile and said softly: "Uncle Shan, don't be sad, something has happened, and we can't change it..."

Hearing Ning Fan's words of comfort, the blacksmith's hand that was making a puppet stopped, and after a while, he raised his head, his eyes were complicated, and he said to Ning Fan: "Aren't you angry, I lied to you and almost lost your life, don't you hate me?"

"Aren't I living a good life, no matter how much I dwell on the past, it is impossible to change, it is better to cherish the future. Ning Fan said with a smile.

Looking at Ning Fan's smile, Blacksmith Shan felt a lot more relaxed for some reason.

"Don't talk about this, Uncle Shan, the red clothes are so beautiful, presumably the aunt is also very beautiful, right?" Ning Fan changed the subject.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this topic, Blacksmith Shan's eyes lit up, and he said with pride: "Of course, your aunt is very beautiful, in my heart she is the most beautiful person in the world, fortunately, Hongyi inherited her appearance, not like me, and ...... five big and three thick."

"Poof, uncle, don't disgust me, okay, if the red clothes look like you, then don't scare people to death. ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with me growing up like this, I don't ...... Am I not handsome too. The blacksmith was not convinced.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are very handsome. Ning Fan rolled his eyes and said.

"You're still quite discerning, I didn't say you, you have to exercise more, look at your little arms and legs, it's not ......masculine at all," he said later, and he laughed......

In the room, Xiao Liyan looked at the two people chatting and laughing in the courtyard, her eyes were a little dazed, she didn't know what she thought, the corners of her mouth curved, revealing a smile that turned all beings upside down.

"Sister, look at this, sister, sister?" Hongyi, who was nested in Xiao Liyan's arms, saw that he didn't respond to what he said, and looked up to find Xiao Liyan looking out the window in a daze, so he kept shouting, Xiao Liyan then withdrew his gaze and continued to read the book with Hongyi......

......

After the blacksmith finished his work, he walked into the room with Ning Fan, and watched the red clothes snuggled up in Xiao Liyan's arms and fell asleep, with a loving smile on his face.

Xiao Liyan gently put the red clothes on the bed, walked to the side of the two, and the single blacksmith first went to the side of the bed to help the red clothes cover the quilt, and then walked to the table, picked up the table kettle and poured a glass of water for each of the three of them, and then picked up his teacup and took a sip.

After putting down the teacup, his face suddenly became serious, Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan looked at him, and the blacksmith said, "Actually, I know that the living corpse is hiding there. ”

Hearing that it was about the night's actions, Ning Fan cheered up and continued to listen.

"The living corpse can only be cultivated by relying on the earth's evil qi, and tonight's breakthrough must also be cultivated in a place where the earth's evil qi is strong, as long as we find a place where the earth's evil qi gathers, the eight achievements can find the living corpse. ”

Ning Fan and Xiao Liyan also felt that it made sense, but this Tongyun Mountain Range was so big, how could they find a gathering place for the Earth Evil Qi?

For this, the blacksmith Shan was determined to succeed, and he said, "Have you forgotten what Miss Xiao is looking for?"

Hearing such a reminder from the blacksmith, Xiao Liyan's eyes lit up, she came to find the Earth Soul Grass, the Earth Soul Grass grows in a place where the Earth Evil is thick, and it grows by absorbing the power of the Earth Evil, how did she forget this.

"Do you know where the Earth Soul Grass is?" Xiao Liyan asked.

"Of course, didn't I promise Miss Xiao that I would tell you the location of the Earth Soul Grass after the living corpses were destroyed. We can take it by surprise tonight and sneak up on the living corpse while it breaks through!"

Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, it was night......
