Shi Lixun, a child born with a strong meaning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He came out of the womb in the death of his mother, and was warmed by the blood of his father and his enemies, and resisted the desolate and cold nights of the northern desert.

His uncle Shi Jingjiao rescued him and raised him as his own son, perhaps because he was born cruelly, Shi Lixun has a stronger heart than his peers, a more tenacious will, and is as lonely as a wolf and easy to kill.

But, is the son of the Shi Da family really born so resolute? If a child who witnesses the death of his parents can inspire his primordial bloody darkness, what does a newborn baby know at the time?

Although Shi Jingjiao did use the methods of the Khitan people and trained Shi Lixun into a real Khitan warrior since he was a child, it did not mean that Shi Lixun would become a withdrawn and murderous person.

In fact, Shi Lixun's loneliness and cruelty come from fear, which is due to his special constitution, a strange creature who has been entangled with him for many years.

It is precisely because of Shi Lixun's blood that he has been able to see things that others can't see since he was a child. At first, he felt as frightened and helpless as all children, but as he grew older, he no longer had the slightest fear or strangeness of the ghosts wandering in the world, and regarded them as ordinary things like flowers and plants.

But what made Shi Lixun feel extremely annoyed, although it was not a ghost, was almost similar, a creature that only he could see—a huge crow man.

The Raven Man would not always follow Shi Lixun, but would appear around him intermittently and occasionally and take the souls of certain living beings.

When Shi Lixun saw it for the first time, it was when Shi Lixun went to play with his dearest old housekeeper in the mansion, and the crow man landed in the courtyard in a grand manner, no matter how Shi Lixun shouted, everyone turned a blind eye, and then the housekeeper who accompanied Shi Lixun throughout his childhood was burned alive by the sudden fire.

Since then, in Shi Lixun's young memory, the fire, the corpse, and the crow man have been firmly bound together, and the sense of fear has shrouded the whole time.

What is extremely cruel to Shi Lixun is that this is only the beginning, the crow people began to appear more and more in Shi Lixun's field of vision, and every time it appears, Shi Lixun will painfully lose something, from the humble life of a dog to the tragic death of a group of people, the crow people will always take away those souls one by one with a silent attitude and rough hands.

Shi Lixun, who had seen too much life and death, began to be afraid, and began to lock himself in his room without leaving home, but he had already witnessed too much as a child, and he began to try his best to dodge, and became more and more reluctant to see the terrible creature that represented death. After all, the naïve boy had stubbornly thought that it was the crow people he had brought in that caused the death of those innocent people.

After spending several years in such a mess, Shi Lixun, as a teenager, killed a criminal with his own hands and watched the giant crow take his soul when the crow man came.

Shi Lixun really overcame the deep fear of the crow people for many years, because at that time he understood that he had an inseparable relationship with death, and he secretly believed that life was meaningless, and it was with this attitude of not fearing death that he joined the pioneer camp as a prince and prince, and killed countless enemies under the principle of ignoring all life.

Later, Shi Jingjiao's iron cavalry leveled one towering city after another, slaughtering the people of one city after another, and every time the huge crow people would come as promised, harvesting the fresh souls of the city, Shi Lixun had long been numb to this and no longer felt as ignorant and guilty as when he was a child.

But there are always some surprises in everything, eight years ago, when he and his uncle whipped north, broke through Fengxiang City and slaughtered the lives of a city, a skinny little boy unexpectedly appeared in Shi Lixun's field of vision.

The crow man was obviously standing nearby, and Shi Lixun originally thought that the skinny boy would not be able to escape the fate of death, but in the end, he unexpectedly survived.

Perhaps on a whim, Shi Lixun recognized him as his slave and brought him back to his mansion, although he was surprised to learn that the child he gave the name "Yin" turned out to be Li Yao, the son of King Lu, but Shi Lixun finally kept this secret for him until now.

Of course, this premise is that since Shi Lixun recognized Li Yin as his servant, he was unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised to find that the crow man who had plagued him for many years was gone, and even if Shi Lixun killed people and slaughtered the city again, the crow that had always represented death did not appear in his field of vision, even a little.

Although this made him puzzled, after all, it was also a good thing, Shi Lixun even recognized Li Yin as his lucky general, but he kept adding officials to him as a slave, in order to let Li Yin always follow him and drive away the most direct fear in his heart.

In this way, several years passed, and before Shi Lixun led his men to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion, he thought that there would be no more crows.

Even during the period in the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion, everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan, but just as the honor guard was finished and everyone was preparing to return to the court, they received several urgent documents from the border towns in a row.

It was also Shi Lixun himself who had long forgotten the fear of the crow people, and he led the troops to start chasing the murderers who attacked the town, but those cruel murderers could attack the town before them every time, leaving behind a desolate ruin and leaving without a trace.

As for what happened later, that is, their troops were attacked by Yelang, and the remaining few people broke through and dispersed, and finally encountered Huyanlan and them.

Until the first time he saw Huyanlan, Shi Lixun did not feel afraid and sad about the upcoming Yelang army, but at this time, the army of the undead under the moon appeared on the plateau and walked towards them, Shi Lixun was horrified to find that the old friend who had not seen him for many years appeared in his life again.

Shocked, puzzled, and instinctively afraid, Shi Lixun shifted his anger to the ruffians who happened to stir up trouble, and he was already very serious, in order to kill these people as soon as possible, so that the crow people could leave with their souls as usual.

But it backfired, and this time the crow people's target was no longer the souls of those few districts, and they had been standing in place and looking at Shi Lixun.

That's why he didn't care about standing still and confronting the crow people, so that he didn't have the slightest fear when Yelang came......

"Do you want my soul this time?" At the last moment, Shi Lixun thought so, but this time he was wrong.
