On this night, Wangxian Village truly ushered in the first carnival in thousands of years.

A real sacrifice, where the bodies of 17 demons were burned in the center of the square, lit the prelude to this revelry.

All the clansmen understand that the days ahead will be very cruel, but it does not affect the revelry of this moment, and people always need a little reason to celebrate happiness, even if it is a small happiness, can be used to support the hardships that will follow.

As the head of the family, I naturally presided over that sacrifice, to pay tribute to the demon hunters who had accompanied me from birth to death, to pay tribute to my younger brothers and sisters who had been separated by thousands of years, and all the deceased people of the Huo Nie family.

But the wasn't mine, and I had so much to take care of after a necessary cutscene.

The village chief temporarily arranged for me a relatively large place to stay, right next to his house, so that I could take care of some trivial matters before leaving.

However, before that, I went to visit Hou Cong once.

He was punished by me, and spent twenty days in a claustrophobic cave in the back of the village.

When I came to him with wine and food, his condition was much better after the doctor's treatment, and the first time he saw me, he smiled at me, and I habitually slapped him on the back, just like in those years.

"I knew that when you weren't the head of the family, you were the third. It's Ye Zhengling! I knew you were going to come and see me. Hou Cong smiled a little proudly.

"When I was the head of the family, I would not show you any mercy." I also laughed, in fact, I knew the meaning of his words, it was my understanding, to be able to be understood by him, I was moved by hatred in my heart, but I said it on my lips, after all, the Huo Nie family needs rules.

"No mercy is what it should be. But you know what? When the heavenly calculation in the village calculates your final result, it is inheritance and fusion, and from then on it is the merger of two lives, a complete person, I cried crazy, I was really afraid that when I was a child, the guy who went crazy with me and made trouble with disappeared. To put it mildly, I know that the head of the family is important. But in my heart, you are more important, even if you are not so powerful, can't you be the head of the house? Hou Cong's wound was still painful, and he couldn't help but grin a little when he said so excited words to me.

I was moved in my heart, I could imagine Hou Cong's excitement at that time, and put myself in his shoes, if I were him, he was me, I am afraid my mood would be the same, right?

I handed him the wine and stuffed a chicken leg in his hand, and he took a big sip and cheered for today's victory.

"Why so desperate? I can't stress enough that we can't afford to lose a single Demon Hunter. I lit a cigarette, opened a bottle of wine, and took a sip silently with Hou Cong.

"Because in my heart, you are not only the head of the family, but also my best friend and most important brother at that time. I've got to give you a face! When Hou Cong said it, he suddenly became serious.

I looked down and smiled and patted Hou Cong's shoulder, but my eyes were swollen.

After a long silence, I said, "Then you don't have to fight now, it's not time to fight hard!" You know how bad things are for demon hunters? And how powerful are demons in this world, how much is there? I don't know anything. Monkey, can you understand my anxiety? Perhaps, in the future, each of you will have to face 10 enemies, 100 such a ratio, you will know how important your life is! ”

Hou Cong was silent, and only after a while did he say: "In my life, I have rarely even been to the outside world, and I have always practiced in this mountain. Is the situation out there already so serious? ”

"It's only more serious than you think." I bowed my head and sighed, the road ahead of me was always cruel, so cruel that I didn't allow me a little respite.

"Okay, I see. In the future, I will be more clever than a real monkey in battle! If you win, you will kill, if you can't win, you will try your best to run if you can do it with two people, and you will never be a hero alone, and when the timing is not the best, even if it is the weakest enemy, I will be very cautious. Hou Cong gritted his teeth and said seriously.

That's a part of his determination, and he has to be like this, because according to me, there are so few demon hunters, and there are so many demon hunters to face, and his death means that he has added a heavy burden to other demon hunters.

"That's good when you think so! I hope you can spread this idea among the demon hunters of the Fire Nie family. We must dare to face any enemy, and we must not be afraid of any enemy, let alone death. But in the absence of sacrifices, we are absolutely not reckless and brave, that is the mistake I made in my last life, then if I don't make this kind of mistake in this life, neither can you. I said to the monkey seriously.

"Good! Definitely. The monkey took another sip of wine, and then said to me, "Sister Erhua is sad for your attitude, do you want to explain it to her?" ”

"No need, Sister Erhua is going to practice again, she is one of the best demon hunters in the Huo Nie family, and the time now is very precious for her, and I will go down the mountain once in the future. I'm sure she'll understand me very quickly, "Indeed, it takes some time for people who used to be close to me to get used to my style as the head of the house, and sometimes, it can't always be explained.

"I'm going to work hard." The monkey took another big sip, and he drank the bottle of wine in a few sips.

I opened another bottle for him and said, "In my previous life, I also summarized a lot of demon hunters' cultivation paths. This time, I brought the people of the Huo Nie family to Wangxian Village, and I also brought a lot of things from the past, and some important ones may still be left in the original headquarters, and I will go to pick them up in the future. Anyway, tomorrow I will ask Tina to send you a spiritual thing, and you will be quiet and practice well during the time you are facing the wall, and there is not much time left for us. ”

The monkey drank in silence, his hand on my shoulder, his fist clenched secretly.

Coming out of the monkey's place, the sky has completely darkened, but the square of Wangxian Village is full of fire, reflecting half of the sky of Wangxian Village is full of red light, and the lively sound comes, so that the corners of my mouth can't help but show a smile.

Their happiness naturally affects my happiness, because they are all my relatives.

If I could, I really wanted to forget the cruel future, the heavy responsibility, and let them be happy like this forever, but this can't be avoided at all, I can only make myself stronger, I can't guarantee that they can always be so easy, but I want to make sure that they are always so safe.

Entering my house, Tina, Su Ling and the village chief were all waiting for me, but Brother Zhengchuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Zhengchuan wants to hurry up and practice, he said that he feels that if this time is used well, his formation will improve by leaps and bounds." This was the first thing I said when I saw my village chief.

"Hmm. If Brother Zhengchuan needs anything for his cultivation, I hope that the Huo Nie family can do their best to support it. After I sat down, Su Ling handed me a cup of hot tea, and then stood behind me, gently rubbing my temples for me, in order to let me sober up quickly and then take care of some trivial matters.

"This one is natural. Zhengchuan, the kid, finally officially took on the responsibility of reviving Mingyangmen, and also saw some hope. These two points may have stimulated him, and besides, as his junior brother, you have always loved you very much, and I hope that I can really help you in the future, instead of becoming a burden. The village chief said to me seriously.

I took a sip of the hot tea in my hand and said to the village chief, "He has always been my senior brother and has never been a burden to me. I would also like to see the revival of Mingyangmen, but I don't want him to be under too much pressure. In my absence, village chief, you have to enlighten him a lot. ”

I've never been a person who is too good at expressing affection, and I am for everyone, including the monkeys just now, and I can't say anything too emotional, but I think the village chief can express this kind of concern to Brother Masakawa.

That's all for the time being.

Next, the village chief began to tell me some things about Wangxian Village, mainly the personnel and forces of Wangxian Village.

In addition to what I have already seen, there are still some hidden forces in Wangxian Village, which are some demon hunters of the older generation, and even some people with special cultivation talents who have become cultivators.

According to the village chief's arrangement, the younger generation of demon hunters are naturally the main force in the battle, and these people are the main force guarding Wangxian Village, the last retreat of the Huo Nie family.

These people generally do not live in the village of Wangxian Village, but walk around the village, or live in seclusion in the more remote corners of the village, and do not show their strength easily, in order to put some pressure on the younger generation, making them think that Wangxian Village is in crisis at any time and is not so safe.

At this point, I also know that the old man I saw guarding the tomb before is also the hidden power of Wangxian Village.

"The head of the family, these people are also your loyal followers, it can be said that the generations of Wangxian Village have been loyal to the head of the family, and swore to follow them to the death, because the life of the ancestors was saved by the head of the family. We have had a peaceful life for thousands of years, and it is all the gift of the head of the family, and I don't need to say more. I hope that the head of the family can also meet these old people in Wangxian Village, and the surrounding hidden sects, it is necessary for the head of the family to take a trip, in this troubled world, even the hidden world sect may not be able to stand alone, not to mention that it is related to us, and now is the time to unite. After the village chief finished talking about Wangxian Village, he persuaded me in a serious manner.

I played with the lid of the bowl in my hand, nodded and said, "These are the things I must do." It's just that I'm going to have to go down tomorrow at most. In any case, I will keep the time to less than a month, and during this time, I will only have to trouble the village chief and some old people in the village, and Tina you will have to worry a little more. ”

The village chief sighed silently, if he could, he didn't want me to leave the mountain at this time.

And at this point, Tina looked at me and had something to say.
