On a quaint stone platform, a young child is bound by heavy purple chains.

There was a dense crowd of people standing around the stone platform, but no one spoke, just stared at the frightened black-haired boy on the stone platform with cold eyes.

The child struggled to break free from the cold chains, but his physical strength was eerily and rapidly draining, as if life was rapidly dissipating.

The child turned his head to look at a man and a woman in the crowd, and said in a trembling voice:

"Daddy.... Mother.... I'm afraid ......"

The man and woman were also indifferent, and did not seem to care about the child's helpless plea for help.

The woman just said coldly:

"Just stay on there. You are contributing to the future of the race, and you must not be embarrassed here!"

The child was full of doubts, but he obediently kept his mouth shut.

After a few moments, the child's faint voice sounded again:

"Daddy...... Didn't I win this ceremony...... Why ......"

The man's voice was equally cold and unquestionable:

"Shut up. ”

The child whimpered, and the voice fell silent again.

Gradually, the sky was covered with a layer of haze, and a depressing aura began to permeate this heaven and earth.

A gloomy voice sounded from far away, but it was shocking and grand:

"Breath-Eating ......"

Buzz———

A white glow lit up on the stone platform, and circles of indiscernible runes shone brightly, causing the chains to tremble.

"Wait......"

The child let out a feeble cry, and the full amount of qi and blood poured out like a floodgate the moment the white glimmer lit up, and was swallowed up by the chains.

The originally beautiful eyes were so dim at this time, even the heartbeat and pulse were faint.

The large amount of qi and blood sank down the chain into the stone platform, and then stretched into the distance along a path made of symbols on the ground.

The previously gloomy voice sounded again:

"Watari ......"

As the words fell, wisps of rich and invisible karma began to seep out of the stone platform, and under the urging of something, they were firmly attached to the children on the stone platform like living creatures.

"Don't ...... I beg you to ......"

The child's voice was filled with fear and pain, but because of his father's request, he still suppressed his voice so as not to be "embarrassed and conspicuous".

The twisted karma made him feel so cold that he felt like he would be dragged into the dark abyss at any moment.

"Planting Evil ......"

A white mist flew from afar, and a bundle of black iron chains was wrapped around it, as if to restrain the mist from escaping.

The shadow of the mist was reflected in the child's eyes, and fears welled up in his soul.

He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was something incredibly evil.

"Mother......

He called out to his mother, but received no response.

The next moment, the black chain broke, and the mist suddenly enveloped the child's body after a while.

"Ahh!!h

The terrible screams resounded throughout the stone platform, and it was terrifying to listen to.

Boundless fear and pain roamed every inch of his body, bones and internal organs decayed rapidly, and at the same time, they could not withstand the pressure of the white mist, and dense cracks were formed.

At this time, a little red light appeared at the center of the child's eyebrows, and then broke away with lightning speed, and then turned into a red line and flew directly into the distance.

For the first time, the crowd of onlookers was moved, and some people shouted in shock and anger:

"Stop it!"

At this time, the child who was in pain finally remembered the origin of the red light.

It was a kind and strict old man, with a seemingly unintentional nudge on his brow before he began the ritual.

"Bai Lao ....."

The child murmured, feeling the only glimmer of light in the boundless cold.

Bang

The earthquake trembled, and the stone platform shook endlessly, as if a dragon was writhing in the land.

A circle of runes lit up around the stone platform, but it suddenly shattered in an instant.

Before the child lost consciousness, he only vaguely heard a familiar voice tinged with anger.

"Taiyuan clan...... You're looking for death!"

......

Zheng Xie woke up suddenly, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.

"Tsk, I still can't forget it after so long....."

Zheng Xie muttered to himself with some annoyance, then rubbed his temples that were a little painful, and subconsciously looked around.

The night is late, the bonfire in front of him is about to burn out, but there is a soft body in his arms.

Zheng Xie looked at Bai Wushan, who was sleeping in his arms, and was also a little speechless:

"I said how did this dream make my chest tightness and shortness of breath....."

It seemed that because of Zheng Xie's movements, Bai Wushan also showed signs of waking up, but he just turned over, rubbed on Zheng Xie's body, and fell asleep again after muttering a few times.

Zheng Xie squinted:

"Looks like there's no way to change your position......"

After straightening the haystack behind him, Zheng Xie also looked at the other pile of haystack a zhang away, and was a little curious:

"Didn't this girl sleep there before, when did she crawl over?"

Then, Zheng Xie poked Bai Wushan's face with his hand, and said very unqualifiedly:

"Hey, wake up, you've got me crushed. ”

However, Bai Wushan just smacked his mouth and continued to sleep.

For the first time, Zheng Xie felt so powerless.

"Forget it, it's not that I can't sleep, it's just uncomfortable at most......"

Zheng Xie was a little resentful, and he muttered to himself as if he was comforting himself.

Just as Zheng Xie was about to change his position a little to continue sleeping, Bai Wushan in his arms sobbed lowly.

"I... I didn't say anything?"

Zheng Xie looked dazed, thinking that he had woken up the girl in his arms, but he immediately realized that this little girl was still dreaming.

"Daddy...... Come back ......."

A vague and soft voice came out of Bai Wushan's mouth, making Zheng Xie, who was full of helplessness, also stunned.

Bai Wushan sniffed, and tears flowed a little more:

"Mother...... Daddy won't die....... Isn't that right......"

"Won't die...... Isn't that right......"

There was no word, except for the low sobs of the girl.

Zheng Xie didn't speak, just gently stroked Bai Wushan's back, his eyes revealing a complicated meaning.

Under Zheng Xie's gentle patting, Bai Wushan gradually stopped sobbing and regained his composure again.

At this time, Zheng Xie also sighed:

"At least your parents...... It's ..... who loves you."

Zheng Xie, who was no longer sleepy, also stared at the dim sky in the distance and fell into a trance.

A peaceful night.

When Bai Wushan woke up from his deep sleep, he found himself wrapped in two layers of thick blankets, while Zheng Xie was sitting by the campfire, fiddling with a wild boar that he had gotten out of nowhere.

"Awake?"

Zheng Xie didn't raise his head, and then cut open the belly of the wild boar with a knife, and his face was drenched in hot pig blood.

Zheng Xie snorted, and then looked at Bai Wushan who was stunned on the side rather unpleasantly:

"Stand and see what I'm doing, don't you have the basic qualities of being an attendant?"

Bai Wushan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly let out an "oh", and then trotted to Zheng Xie's side, carefully wiping the blood on Zheng Xie's face with his cuffs.

Zheng Xie was stunned by this sudden care, and then sighed and said:

"Did I not make it clear or were you stupid..... I'm asking you to dissect this pig......."

When Bai Wushan heard this, even though his face was a little red from shame, he could only take the knife in Zheng Xie's hand with his mouth closed, and start cleaning up the disemboweling wild boar without saying a word to relieve some of the embarrassment.

Zheng Xie shook his head, stepped aside, casually wiped the pig's blood on his body, and then sat directly on the ground comfortably, and began to point fingers:

"After cleaning it up, I washed it on the river next to it, and then roasted it on a fire with the wood I had prepared. ”

Bai Wushan paused, but then continued his work in silence.

Zheng Xie looked at Bai Wushan's back with a smile, not knowing what his plans were.

Although he had been connected with the technique of killing people many times, and even cut the throat of his own enemy with his own hands, dismembering the living creature again still made Bai Wushan's hand tremble a little.

The rich fishy smell has been invading her nasal cavity, and she is almost holding back the desire to gag to complete Zheng Xie's request, and every few cuts must turn her head to slow down for a moment and a half, otherwise she will vomit directly on the spot.

Zheng Xie was not in a hurry, just looked at her leisurely.

When those useless internal organs were finally cleaned up, Bai Wushan's face was so pale that he couldn't see blood, and his body was a little shaky because of the range, and he had to hold on to the trees on the side so that he wouldn't fall.

"Alright. ”

Zheng Xie's voice sounded behind her, and a strong arm also supported her crumbling body.

"Let you get used to it first, and follow me around the world in the future, and it won't be a wild boar to be dissected. ”

Zheng Xie smiled slightly, helped Bai Wushan to sit down against the haystack, and then carried the wild boar directly on his shoulders and walked towards the river not far away.

"If you can't get used to this bit of blood, then you're probably only good at wiping dirt. ”

Hearing this, Bai Wushan also gritted his teeth and insisted on not letting himself lie down completely.

Indeed, judging from Zheng Xie's previous brutal performance, if he was by his side, he would probably not experience much blood.

If she wants to become a useless burden, Mo said that she has disappointed Zheng Xie, even she herself is a little despised.

At this time, Bai Wushan's hand also touched the jade plate that Zheng Xie threw to her earlier, and an invisible cold feeling spread along her fingers, dispelling the discomfort a lot.

What she didn't know was that if this jade plate engraved with the word "evil" was placed in Zhongzhou, it would be a secret treasure that many people would compete for.

Zheng Xie's expectations for her were inexplicably great......
