Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 109: Broken Soul and Body

Takimiao did flee to the city of no music.

As long as the pair of inexplicable wings were folded, it was much more convenient for him. He stole uncollected clothes from a peasant family, pretended to be an ordinary person, and blended into the crowd to cross the city gates. He didn't dare to go to the downtown area, so he only wandered around the suburbs for a while. I never thought that even such a cautious whereabouts would still be detected by impermanence ghosts.

What's more, there are too many people who want to kill him.

Jiyue-kun doesn't like to hunt down - no matter how good his senses are, if the distance is too far, the sound is noisy, the smell is chaotic, etc., he still has to rely on his eyes to see. He is not good at this, it stands to reason that Ye Yuejun should do it. However, since she heard that the onmyoji named Tang He was also in Wule City, she entrusted the matter to him for the time being—after all, the adult did say something like "you all together" and I don't know if it was a casual remark.

Jiyue-kun can understand her like this. Ye Yuejun did have a lot of dissatisfaction with Tang He, this is a fact. On the one hand, for some reasons, Ye Yuejun has a strong empathy for youkai. As the six realms of impermanence, it is indeed a good thing to have such a character trait, and objectively, it is a good thing for the Three Realms. And Tang He, who is also a human - and a witcher, can't say good or bad to humans alone - regards the strong among the monsters as enemies, and the weak as grass mustard, at least for himself. Conceptually, the two have already clashed.

And Ye Yuejun has also dealt with many incidents in the past few years. I don't know if she should be said to be unlucky, or if the adult deliberately arranged it, five times out of ten, she could meet the kid surnamed Tang. She recognized the man's strength, but she never agreed with him in character and concept, not to mention that those events were either caused by him, or were born for him, or he was one of the participants. In these troubles, the surname Tang has never played a positive role, and even directly or indirectly obstructed her investigation repeatedly. At this moment, everyone will be disgusted. The time she remembered most clearly, Jiyue-kun was fortunate enough to hear her complain: about a village was in the realm of spiritual wealth, and there were many monsters living outside the village, and the two sides often had disputes, and people died every once in a while. In fact, the whole thing is an accumulation of misunderstandings, which makes the feelings of both sides more complicated and the more difficult things to deal with. At this time, it is necessary to have a credible figure who stays out of the matter, correctly understands the differences between the expressions of the two parties, deals with the most important contradictions, and all problems are naturally solved. She has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so she is naturally familiar with it. This time, because the village chief's son had an accident, the village chief gathered the whole village to raise money and hired a well-known onmyoji - as for who it was, it was naturally needless to say. The man didn't even listen to the whole story, but coldly told them what he needed to do. Everyone knew that he had the bloodline to summon tengu, and they respected and feared him. When he had made it clear, he took the beast out of the village.

"So, he slaughtered all those youkai for good and bad?" At that time, Jiyue-kun listened to her angrily talk about this and asked her like this.

"No," Ye Yuejun gritted her teeth, "When I arrived the next day, the village was slaughtered. ”

"What...... Why is that? ”

"Almost all the men died, and there were some women who resisted, all of whom had deadly knife wounds. The few old men who were left in hiding told me that the more timid women had run away with their children—the onmyoji suddenly turned his face and still didn't say a word. ”

"Why did he do it? Why, go and kill your own ......"

"Later I figured it out: because the monsters charged three times the price."

“……”

It is true that humans have been greedy creatures since ancient times. They have seen a lot of killings and betrayals for the sake of profit, and Tang He is not a special case.

But at least, they still have the power to hate such people.

The adult blamed him for a few words, but he didn't say much, but Ye Yuejun couldn't swallow this breath by himself. She later inquired and found out that his parents had died when he was a child. The situation is a bit complicated, and the two of them eloped. His father's name is Tang Yi, he is from the Tang Sect, and when he escaped from the house, he only brought a black horizontal knife, which was beaten by the Tang Sect, and he didn't take anything else. And his relationship with the tengu was given to him by his mother - but she couldn't summon the tengu herself, but Tang He's maternal grandfather could do it. However, this is also what he heard his mother say. He hadn't seen the old man, and he had no way of knowing anything about the Onmyoji and the youkai. The family fled far away and lived in a small town where no one knew them. For fear of getting into trouble, he never took out the knife once.

It was only after my mother became pregnant with her that the two decided to go together. He also has a younger sister named Tang Yu, who was born after they stabilized in the town.

At that time, his name was Tang He.

The siblings grew up safely under the care of their parents and the care of their neighbors. One day, when the parents are not at home, the child is playful and tossed around the house. Tang He found the knife that his father had hidden, and he didn't make a noise at the time, and put it back as it was. Although he is not big, he knows that it is unreasonable for such a delicate weapon to appear in a family with ordinary conditions. That night, he didn't ask his parents anything, let alone his babbling sister. The boy always liked to deal with swords—and after that, he would tiptoe to see the dusty knife in the attic while his parents were away. One or two came and went, and the knife was wiped clean, and the light was recognizable.

Because of a small oversight, the knife was seen by the people in the town who were looking for his father.

Then, his father and mother died.

The Tang Men have been looking for them.

There is no shortage of "traitors" among human beings, and the fact that they hate "traitors" to the bone is also justified.

The town is not safe, and they can be betrayed at any time - intentionally or unintentionally, with good intentions or with bad intentions. The power of the Tang Sect penetrates all corners of the rivers and lakes, and as long as they catch a little tail, they will chase to the ends of the earth. The neighbor watched him grow up, and he didn't want to suspect her, so she must have been tricked or unintentional. But Tang He was cautious since he was a child, and thought about it one more step, for fear that she would tell others to make people worry, so he buried the sword in the backyard - anyway, his father never went up to the attic to see it.

The sun was thick that day, and the light rain in the afternoon left the muddy roads full of water and stained red as blood. He carried firewood on his back, held Tang Yu, who had only been walking for a short time, and told her that tomorrow must be very hot, and he should tell his mother to put on less clothes for her and not to get prickly heat.

He saw his home surrounded from afar, and his bad premonition made his heart cold for a long time. He threw down the wood and rushed over, but the adults stopped him and dragged him to someone else's house to prevent them from going home.

The two men were still there, covered with a white cloth, and blood at one end. Their heads were not found, presumably taken away. These things that the neighbor didn't intend to say, it was he who threatened to see it for himself, and they said it. But as soon as he told him, he rushed back to his door as if he hadn't heard, and lifted the white cloth in the dark and smelly room with a candle. The government came the next day, but the body had not yet been transported. Tang He was sure that what they said was right, and then he collapsed on the ground in a daze, his hands were full of molten wax oil, and his blood was as red, but he didn't feel hot.

Half of the people in the town were awakened and surrounded his house again, for fear that something would happen to the only kid of the Tang family. My sister was held in the arms of an aunt and kept crying outside the hospital. At this time, he suddenly remembered something, ran to the backyard to dig up the soil, and saw the horizontal knife he had hidden, intact.

He walked back into the house and looked at the ladder that led to the attic. He hadn't noticed, but the ladder had broken a crossbar, which made him a little concerned. Holding the shortened candle in his mouth, he climbed up in twos and threes. The dusty, small footprint-strewn attic was covered with many new footprints belonging to adult males.

Father has been here.

The father did not find the knife.

My father couldn't find the knife that would protect his family.

His face was hot and painful, for example, the fire almost burned his face ten thousand times more when he crossed the candle.

Tang Yu was still crying, crying so much that his throat was dry and his voice was hoarse and harsh.

The voice woke him up. Only then did Tang He prop himself up and barely stand up.

The townspeople knew they weren't safe, and the Assassins who could kill people in broad daylight were no ordinary and might want to come back. On the one hand, they didn't want to cause trouble, and on the other hand, for the safety of the brother and sister, they were arranged by the vegetable farmers who pulled goods in the city and left the place where they had lived for more than ten years.

Further on, Ye Yuejun hasn't found out yet. Somehow, he became what he is now.

Maybe it has something to do with Tang Yu's death.

Recalling these events, Jiyue-kun sighed lightly.

Everyone has their own choices, and each choice has made them who they are today. All of this is understandable, and it is logical, not to mention the six realms of impermanence, personal fate, even the adult will not judge arbitrarily.

Jiyue-kun was originally going around blindly on the day he came yesterday, who knows, but when Ye Yue-kun was not there, he smelled the slightest smell that was wrong.

Creatures that are neither human nor demon.

But beyond that, there are two more – two women.

Even on the edge of the city, the sound of musical instruments appears, and when people hear it, it will lead to death. Jiyue-kun knew this, but his piano didn't have strings, so it was easy to get it checked. What's more, he is a blind man, and with Huang Quanling with him, no one dares to make things difficult. That's how he swaggered into the city with the piano board on his back at that time.

Right now, it's important to track down those who don't know you. Facing the breeze, Jiyue-kun stepped lightly on the branches of the tree, catching up in the direction of the sunset, running to the source of the music.

It is a very brisk fingering, and the wisps are plucked at the heartstrings of people. But the rhythm of this rhythm is enough to disturb the mind, break the soul, and make the spirit and sound stir together, and dance with the strings.

And then crushed by the slender fingertips.
