Chapter 1 The Mysterious Boy's Burial River

Next Chapter

The boundless darkness of the night descended, as if it had been heavily rendered by heavy splashes of ink.

Out of reach, a blood moon suddenly emerged from the shadows.

"Click"

Blood-red evil lightning suddenly stretched out from the edge of the blood moon, with a trace of calm aura, rampant in the night sky with impunity.

The dead vines and old trees in the twilight are reflected on the ground by the moonlight, and they look even more ghostly at this time.

And the pitch-black crow on the old branch on the side was constantly fluttering its wings, from beginning to end, it had been looking at the strange sky with its miserable green pupils, but because of the fear in its heart, it did not dare to cry out in sorrow.

"Knives!"

Suddenly, the sound of rolling thunder like a bell carried the boundless wind and clouds, mighty and mighty, and then resounded in the sky, lasting for a long time.

Immediately afterward, another brilliant meteor dragged the tail of a long arc of firelight, accompanied by a heavy roar, and fell violently to the ground.

Looking at the vast land in a blink of an eye, at this moment, it was actually full of black and purple horror style.

......

I don't know how long it has been, and the ground suddenly bursts with blue light, soft and refreshing.

There were even tiny blue flowers, resolutely violating the laws of nature between heaven and earth, and blooming on the earth in an instant.

The stems are crystal clear, the whole body is bright, and the corolla is charming and charming.

The whole world seemed to be lit up by this, but everything was silent in the ears, and the thunder had died down, and only the magnificence remained.

Just like the dreamy scenery of a mirage, before the sky just dawned, these flowers on the other side of the river, which were similar to the description of the legendary Nine Shades of Yellow Spring, and even basically coincided, with intoxicating stars, did not leave the slightest trace, and quietly disappeared into the world.

......

In the early morning of the next day, the sun began to shine, and the earth gradually returned to the warm scene of yesterday in the morning glow.

In the village, hard-working men with hoes on their shoulders came out of their houses one after another.

And last night's horrific scene was as if it had never happened at all.

"Come and help! There seems to be a fainted traveler over there. Suddenly, a panicked man burst out of the forest not far away, shouting loudly in the field.

"What's going on?"

"Go check it out!"

"Bring a weapon, maybe that's it."

After hearing the sound, I saw that the men did not hesitate to throw away their labor tools, and then quickly returned to the house to change the bows and arrows for hunting, and continued to rush to the forest.

......

Along the way, the grass is green and the water is murmuring.

When I arrived at the destination, I saw a dry well full of vicissitudes of ancient decay, with boxy wood, stacking the wellhead about 20 centimeters from the ground.

Not far away, a thin figure lay on the ground. Looking at its tattered outfit, it is impossible to distinguish its identity at all, if it weren't for the undulating chest, it would probably be considered a corpse!

"That's him!" The man who had informed everyone before pointed to the figure on the ground and said in a hurried tone.

Running from here to the village, and back and forth, even if he is physically strong, he is a little unbearable.

Immediately, I saw the men skillfully put on their bows and arrows, cautiously, and slowly approached the figures.

"What a handsome boy! It's a pity that the scar on his left eye completely ruined his appearance. However, if the hair grows a little longer, it may be able to cover it. Someone in the crowd exclaimed, feeling sorry for the man on the ground.

"Don't be stupid, this strange-looking person is very likely to be a monster, don't take it lightly." The leading man shouted.

"Let's bring him back! Let Grandma Feng decide. ”

In the end, after the unanimous consent of everyone, it was decided to tie up the young man on the ground and take him back to the village.

......

Although the smoke was curling in the village, the men and women were all gathered together.

"Hahahaha!"

The mischievous children all twisted their heads curiously towards the tied figure on the ground.

"Could he have something to do with last night's vision? It's been a rough patch lately! ”

"Then he guesses it's a monster, otherwise who would scratch the knife marks on his handsome face! Looking at the scar, it was obviously not from last night, and it looked like it should have been around for a while. ”

"Fart! I think it's likely that this is a mage, and after a fierce battle, the clothes will be torn into strips of cloth by the youkai. ”

"Everyone, get out of the way, the witch Grandma Kaede is here!"

Following this voice, the crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed to the left and right, and then saluted at the old woman in front of them, wearing a red and white witch costume and a black blindfold on her right eye.

Holding a wooden longbow that was as tall as a person, Grandma Feng slowly moved to the figure on the ground.

Then the arm was stretched out, and the young man next to him immediately took the longbow respectfully, and then stepped aside.

"Hah!"

Grandma Feng took out the small cloth bag around her waist, took out a large handful of magic medicine or salt grains, and sprinkled it on the figure on the ground.

No response!

Grandma Feng didn't believe in evil and spilled a large handful of magic medicine again, and her expression became even more serious.

Still no response!

Embarrassed!

"It's not a monster, splash him with water to wake him up, and then I'll ask him personally." Turning around with an ugly face, Grandma Feng commanded casually.

......

"Ahem!" The boy on the ground finally woke up after the eleventh basin of water was splashed.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our village? Someone in the crowd immediately asked eagerly.

"I ......" The young magnetic voice spat out from the young man's mouth, and his tone couldn't help but be full of confusion.

"Yes, that's you." Grandma Feng couldn't help but take a step forward and responded in an affirmative tone.

"I ...... Who am I? Where is this? ”

When the young man's complete words reached the ears of everyone present, the crowd exploded in an instant, and the whispers continued.

"It seems to be amnesia!"

"Pretend!"

"Could it be a spy from a neighboring country?"

"Is there another war?"

After a while, I saw that Grandma Feng's forehead on the side showed blue tendons, and then she roared loudly to the surroundings: "Be quiet, what can our village be worthy of being coveted by others?" ”

The effect of Grandma Feng's words was very significant, and the crowd immediately became resigned, and they all did not dare to make a sound easily.

"I ...... Hungry. At this time, the young man on the ground looked at Grandma Feng with timid eyes.

Because everything around him made him feel inexplicably afraid, he could only try to ask for help from the person in front of him.

"Untie him!" Grandma Feng paused, and then her tone softened.

"That'...... He ...... "The men were a little uneasy and looked like they were swaying from side to side.

"Rest assured, it's a human being, a pure human being, and maybe even a good seedling." As a witch, although her spiritual power is limited, she can still feel the surging power in the young man's body.

That strength may even surpass the demonic power of the half-demon dog in the forest.

"Wonder boy, is the peace of the village going to be broken like this?" With a hint of melancholy emotion, Grandma Feng left in a hobbling manner.

......

At night, in the house where Grandma Feng lived, a large ceramic cauldron was set on a blazing fire, in which fresh and unpolluted vegetables and meat were boiled.

"Give!" Grandma Feng swept over the boy with a scrutinizing gaze, and then handed over a bowl of food.

"Thank you!"

The young man immediately took it excitedly, looking at the steaming porcelain bowl with eager and greedy eyes, he should be really hungry!

"Ahh Scald...... Scald. ”

The boy almost threw the porcelain bowl out of his hand, and he had just taken a sip of the hot soup without thinking about whether his tongue could accept the temperature.

"Huh!" Grandma Feng couldn't help but laugh a little, and after smiling, she asked the young man with a curious look in her eyes: "You...... Can you still remember your name? ”

"I ...... Name? The young man immediately put down the porcelain bowl, furrowed his beautiful brows, and thought distressedly.

Burial River!

"Burial River!" The majestic voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, the young man immediately said it without thinking.

The air was silent for about three seconds.

"Haha! It's strange that this name makes me feel creepy. ”

Grandma Feng couldn't help but open her mouth and smile dryly, but her expression became more and more solemn, and she couldn't seem to be relaxed.

"Really? As soon as I thought of the name, these two words suddenly sounded in my head. Hearing this, the young man Fuhe also chuckled gently, and his little face was full of shyness.

However, the oozing scar on the left eye, under the dim candle flame at this moment, looked like a multi-legged centipede crawling slowly, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
