Chapter 17 The Legend of the Witch of Heaven 4
When it was the fourth ugliest, Liu Ruxu walked alone in the snow, stepping on a row of crooked footprints behind her.
The surroundings were dark and gloomy, and the wind was shouting, cold as a knife, mercilessly blowing on her red little face.
She had been running for more than an hour, sweat soaking through her clothes, but she was still running desperately without feeling tired.
Exhaled puffs of air swirled between her brows again and again, drifting until her eyelashes and bangs froze into ice.
She was really frightened, and all that came to her mind was the scene of the boy Zhao Ping'an being pulled out of his heart, and after Yang Xian'er was nailed to the tree, the hideous face still lingered in her heart.
At this moment, "Woo...... Whew...... "The wolf howl in my ears suddenly sounded!"
Liu Ruxu's footsteps stopped, it was not the first time she had heard this voice, her face turned pale, and she looked around in horror: "It's a wolf!"
She didn't dare to go forward or go back, so she just stood where she was. The screams in my ears are getting louder and clearer, and the sound of "clicking" snow is faintly heard in the distance.
Liu Rufu's body was like a sifting chaff, he puffed up his breath, pulled his legs and ran, and suddenly shouted: "Ahh
It turned out that this place was very slippery, her right foot was slightly off, plopped, fell to the ground and rolled five or six times, and heard a "bang" sound, and hit a big tree on her back, which stopped, and her spine couldn't help but feel a faint pain.
Liu Ruxu was already sweating profusely, and now he was covered with snow all over his body, turning into flesh, and when the wind blew, he was very cold in a moment, and he was busy getting up and reaching out to go up and down, but he couldn't help but tremble, his teeth struck each other, and he hit hard "Dede" a few times.
As soon as I looked up, I suddenly saw a small temple in the distance, and remembered that in the afternoon, I promised the middle-aged man to send something to the mountain god to eat, but then he was taken away by Yang Xian'er indiscriminately, and I don't know if the mountain god took the things away, will he be unhappy?
Thinking of the wolves around him, he resolutely mustered up his courage and ran towards the mountain temple tremblingly.
Pushing open the temple door, the temple was dim, but I felt a lot warmer. Liu Ruxu stepped forward by the moonlight path, only to see that the branches in the brazier were burned out, and only half a basin of black ash remained, but the food on the table did not move at all.
Liu Ruxu looked at the statue of the mountain god holding a steel fork, and couldn't help but shiver, there was no fire at the moment, so she had to curl up in a ball, leaning on the statue and falling asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, Liu Ruxu woke up slowly, looked up and saw that the food on the table was still there, and the hunger and cold on her body were unspeakable, and she had the heart to go home, remembering that she had promised her brother that she would go back yesterday, and she thought about going back and coming again.
She still remembers the road from the mountain temple to the mother-in-law's house, and immediately went straight along a path, turned over two dirt bags, and walked up a hillside.
In the distance, I saw several curling smoke rising due north, which was the village where my mother-in-law's house was located.
Liu Ruxu was very happy, trotted to the door of her mother-in-law's house, did not rush in, and was thinking about whether they would be happy if they would come back first without waiting for the mountain god, and how to tell them about Zhao Ping'an's murder by a bad woman, even if they said it, they might not believe it, and their brains were like a pot of paste.
At this time, I only heard the mother-in-law in the house trembling and said, "It's just a pity...... Such a good child, why is his life so bitter......" His voice choked up when he said this.
The middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Mother, in this life, our old Zhao family is sorry for her, but people can't be resurrected after death, I didn't also decide to marry Qin'er to Rufeng, hey, it can be regarded as an explanation to his underground sister." ”
Liu Ruxu secretly rejoiced in her heart: "I didn't come back overnight, but my mother-in-law and son are so worried." As soon as she heard that they were going to marry Qin'er to her younger brother, Liu Ruxu felt warm in her heart and was about to enter the house to recognize her.
The mother-in-law said: "That's fine, but now the family is short of food, and even if the child comes back, he will suffer with me, and this is fate." ”
Liu Ruxu stopped, withdrew the hand that was about to push the door, and listened quietly in front of the door.
The middle-aged man said: "I still have some strength, and I go into the mountains every day to hunt some game, so that you will not be cold and hungry." ”
The mother-in-law instructed: "Mother has always heard wolves howling recently, you should be careful on weekdays, the mountains and roads are slippery, don't go too deep." ”
The middle-aged man replied, "My son knows." ”
Liu Ruxu stood at the door, biting her lower lip lightly, from the conversation between her mother and son, she learned that there is a shortage of food in the village now, not to mention that her younger brother also has a good home, as long as her younger brother is doing well, she has nothing to worry about.
She turned silently and walked behind her. Standing on the hillside, looking up at the white expanse in front of me, I don't know why it was much easier.
Flying snow poured into her neck, and the collar swayed from side to side in the wind, and it turned out that the buttons on it had been torn by Yang Xian'er that night.
Liu Ruxu covered her collar with her hand, and saw that she had nowhere to go, so she had to brave herself to return to Yang Xian'er's courtyard. Standing on the hill, you can see the big tree in the courtyard from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw that the four corpses were still there, but during the day, it seemed that there was no longer the horror of last night.
Liu Ruxu walked under the tree, and when she saw Yang Xian'er's miserable white face, she still had palpitations, and reached out to pull the long sword off her body, but the sword was nailed firmly, and now after a night, it is even more frozen as hard as iron.
So she went over and dragged Li Yuanyi's belt, wanting to drag his corpse under the tree, but her strength was weak, how could she pull it, so she had to lift the bottom of his body and let him roll back and forth on the snow.
"Dangchang", suddenly a few things fell out of his arms, which turned out to be two ingots of broken silver and a pair of firearms.
Liu Ruxu saw that it was a daily need, so she put it in her arms. Then, he dragged the bodies of Liu Fang and Wang Liang under the tree, reached into his arms, and found nothing more than two silver tokens, and touched a dagger.
Pushing open the door of the house, there was a strong bloody breath rushing to the nose, and the corpse of Zhao Ping'an's chest was upside down at the door.
After a long while, he pulled out his small body and the fat man's body on the chair and piled them together under the tree.
Last night, I was scared tightly, and there was no light, so I didn't see the layout of the house, but I saw the wooden tables and stools in the house, which were neatly and orderly.
There is a bed in the innermost part, there are four or five pieces of clothes scattered on the bed, there is a square table next to the bed, there is a stool in front of the table, a copper mirror is erected on the table, and there are some combs and hairpins next to the mirror.
Liu Ruxu went into the house and picked up the basin under the window, and when it was full of snow, she poured it on the corpses of the six people, and there were more than 100 basins, and finally the snow was piled high, just enough to cover Yang Xian'er's body.
Liu Ruxu looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, seeing that the sun was setting and dusk was approaching, he hurriedly went back to the house and took out a frozen rag, stained with snow to wipe the blood on the floor in the house, and when the work was over, it was dark.
Liu Ruxu closed the door tightly, plugged in the latch, picked up the flint, and lit the oil lamp on the table.
Looking at the clean appearance of the house, although it feels warm, looking at the big snowdrift in front of the house always makes people feel faintly uneasy.
Liu Ruxu held her chin in her hands, quietly looking at the golden wick, thinking of her younger brother Liu Rufeng was stunned, and I don't know what he was doing at this time, whether he was thinking about himself.
When I was bored, I took out the book called "Reincarnation Mantra", and opened the first page with the help of the light, with two lines of small characters written on the top: "The Lord of Creation, the Sect of Heaven and Earth, the Born People, There are rules for things, God is wandering, and the people are secluded." ”
Later, he wrote: "However, the things in the world are born from being, and some are born from nothing, and the reincarnation of the Great Dao can almost conform to the will of heaven and respond to man?"
Although Liu Ruxu and her mother have learned to write since childhood, they still don't know a lot, so they slowly lifted the corner of the book and turned the second page.
But see that the next page is a ** portrait, the body is full of black dots, and there are thin lines connected, and the lines are filled with small characters such as "Zhongfu", "Lingxu", "Tianfu", "Kong Most", "Four Man", "Qi Chong", "Labor Camp", "Jiguan", "Fu Rabbit", "Liangqiu", "Xia Juxu" and other words.
Liu Ruxu thought to herself: This picture is also fun. I saw a thin line on the far left from the stomach, up to the neck, down to the calf, and when it went up to the left chest, it branched out to the left arm, and reached the index finger.
The more she looked at it, the more strange it became, and the more fascinated she became, as if a hot breath came from the dantian, and she followed the black line flow around her body, and unconsciously turned to the third page.
On it is dense small words: "The days are coming to an end, I should defend it." Seize the common life, peep into creation, embrac all things, hang the image of the sky, and pave the shape of the earth. Those who are constant will live forever in our palace, and they can live with heaven and earth. ”
Below is a detailed practice of the first level of this kung fu.
There is physical practice, there is internal cultivation, and there is a way to eat people's hearts. Thinking of the scene of Yang Xian'er killing people and sucking internal force, it coincides with what is said in this book.
The last line reads: "Reincarnation, life forgetfulness." This skill goes against the sky, takes away the opportunity of life, enters my spiritual body, and stores it in the acupoints, which can be used for oneself. However, if you only abstain from the 'bloodthirsty Dafa' of the Boyu sect in the East China Sea, and the blood will be dispersed with the merits, it will be like the sea water bursting the embankment, and it will eventually become dry and decaying. ”
Although Liu Ruxu recognized these words, he didn't know what they meant. I vaguely felt that this kung fu was quite weird, and it was inappropriate to look at it, but I couldn't help but look at it again.
After looking at the first floor, turn to the second floor.
Liu Ruxu had no distracting thoughts, and read all ten layers of the book in a row, turning to the last page, and at the end of the book, the inscription "Nine Palace Gate, Eternal Life Palace, Su He." ”
Seeing that the sky was slightly bright, she stretched her waist, took off her shoes and went to bed, all she could think about was the direction of the meridians drawn in the book.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon, and Liu Ruxu sat alone on the bed, gurgling in her belly, and then remembered that she had not eaten or eaten for a day.
Pushed open the door of the house, and saw a big deer standing not far away, suddenly shocked, licked his lips, just took two steps, the big deer was frightened, and the four hooves flew forward.
The deer was extremely agile, running around, Liu Ruxu chased two steps behind, panting, and saw no trace of it, looking at the hoofs on the snow in a daze, helpless, had to return to the mountain temple.
Liu Ruxu bowed twice to the statue of the mountain god: "Father-in-law of the mountain god, these things are cold, if you don't eat them...... I'll take half of it first, and I hope you ...... Don't blame me. ”
After speaking, he picked up the cooked vegetables and fruits frozen into ice cubes with his clothes, lowered his head and trotted back to his hut. The two places are quite a long way, and when they return to the courtyard, it is already dark again.
Liu Ruxu wanted to make a hot meal, but she didn't dare to go out to collect firewood, so she had to plug in the door, hide in the house and nibble on cold food, her body trembled, thought about it, and took out the "reincarnation mantra" again.
I calculated in my heart: "It's all snow here, and the food is only enough to eat for three or five days, why don't you practice this martial arts, catch and write deer to eat, and the deer skin is warm, the meat is thick and fatty, and you can also add lamp oil." ”
Said practice practice, this night, Liu Ruxu crossed his knees on the bed, according to the mantra in the book and the method of practicing internal strength, and started the exercise.
This skill is to concentrate and calm down, and get rid of feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Liu Ruxu, a teenage child, is not bothered by seven emotions and six desires.
So I practiced according to the law, and after only meditating for a while, I felt that the cold was greatly reduced, and my body was warm, as if there was a stove around me, and it was extremely comfortable.
His eyes were closed, and he fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up the next morning, I not only did not feel sleepy at all, but also felt more energetic. It turned out that it was only overnight, and it was already beneficial to the cultivation of internal strength.
Liu Ruxu held back a ruthless energy, except for eating, practicing in the house all day long.
On the third day, he went out to catch deer again, and when he jumped a few inches higher, he was much faster when he struck, and although he still returned empty-handed, his heart was quite excited.
Seeing that most of the food in the mountain temple had been taken away, on the fifth day, she finally caught an elk. Liu Ruxu was overjoyed, and had the urge to tell her brother, but she still held back.
Looking at the elk chirping Yoyo, although Liu Ruxu wanted to kill it and eat meat, she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she had to trap it in the house and go out to catch deer again.
After two days, there were four large deer and one small deer in the house. Liu Ruxu made a fence outside the house and drove the deer into it.
The first deer caught had starved to death, so Liu Ruxu happily shaved off the deer skin with a knife, hung it in the window, and shaved off the meat little by little.
Finally, when looking at the deer heart that was still hot, looking at its bright color, I couldn't help but take a bite, and suddenly my mouth was full of fishy smell, and the piece of meat that I bit down wriggled in my mouth, slippery and soft, chewing and chewing, it was really disgusting.
Thinking of what is said in the book, this skill needs to be practiced internally and externally, and it is necessary to use people's hearts as medicine to guide and replenish the heart with the heart, so as to achieve the effect of rejuvenating the face. Liu Ruxu didn't dare to kill people and take her heart, so she had to hold back her nausea and swallow the whole deer heart.
Liu Ruxu practiced at night and caught deer during the day. As soon as a deer starves to death, he will take the deer's heart as a guide and swallow the exercises.
On weekdays, even if she is practicing, she will go out to visit her brother once a month.
After only two months of work, I was able to catch the deer, and I liked it.
Seeing that the remnant of winter had passed, the ice and snow melted, and the snowdrifts covering the corpses of the six people slowly melted. The hilt of Li Yuanyi's long sword nailed to Yang Xian'er back then was already visible, and it wouldn't be long before the corpse would be revealed.
Although Liu Ruxu only relies on catching deer, no one feeds the tricks, but has been practicing in accordance with the book, for several months has never stopped, at this time the internal strength has been quite rooted, and the strength is also a lot larger, after practicing, by the way, digging a deep pit behind the house.
Reaching out to grasp Li Yuanyi's long sword back then, it shook from side to side, and the trunk swayed with it.
Liu Ruxu held it with both hands and pulled it out hard, and with a "bang", Yang Xian'er's body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of snow.
Liu Ruxu looked at the long sword in his hand, although it was cold, it was still very sharp, so he wiped it clean and brought it back to the house, threw the corpses of the six people into a big pit, buried them with soil, and then returned to the house.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and this day is the day when Liu Rufeng and Qin'er got married.
Liu Ruxu stood on the hill, just like when she came back that night last year, quietly looking at the crowd at her feet, looking at her younger brother in a red wedding dress, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
