Chapter 45: It's all for your good
"In the past 100 years, newborns have only been in the double digits, and more than half of them have died within a few days of birth. When the rest of the young people grew up, they accidentally discovered the truth and fled from here, not wanting to come again. Hou Dazhuang was hysterical, with a hideous face, like an angry gorilla, beating his chest and feet. "What can I do, I'm desperate!"
"Take me to uncover the truth. Dao Mu's tone softened a little and leaned on Ah Meng. He had been exhausted from the previous battle in the water, and now he was completely prostrate.
"More than halfway through tonight, wait for me to find you......" Hou Dazhuang was relieved, grinning with tears in his eyes.
"What is it, people who torture normal people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts......"
In fact, Dao Mu already had an answer in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to believe it. He just waited tonight to find out, he wanted reality to slap him in the face more than hoping that his guess would come true, and he didn't want Mu Xingshan to completely collapse in his heart.
Midnight.
The moon stars are scarce, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, and the cool breeze shoots people's faces.
The stars seemed to be afraid of something, and they all hid in the night, unwilling to come out, and even the moonlight was much dimmer. The fireflies are like stars falling from the night, blinking and blinking, so beautiful that people feel unrealistic and dreamlike.
Strange to say, the darkness is frightening most of the time, so people like the day, love to praise the sun, feel that the sun gives them a good mood, and gives them the courage to yearn for the future.
Sometimes, however, darkness gives some people absolute courage, and they use darkness as a cover to release their naked humanity, because darkness not only covers their bodies, but also blinds their conscience.
Under the sun, although there are shadows behind people, in front of people, most of them are polite and human-like. In the darkness, there is no shadow behind him, and there is no shackle of light, and the last line of defense of human nature is also covered and swallowed by the darkness.
Some people are more terrible than those demons, monsters, and evil beasts. Because you can never imagine what someone who completely unleashes humanity will do.
Three black shadows came out of the Hou family, quickly melted into the endless darkness, crossed the wall, and entered the Mu family.
When he first came back, Dao Mu couldn't move for a long time because of the strange aura exuded by the Mu family. With only the faint light, Dao Mu could see everything around him clearly, no worse than during the day.
Clean, eerily clean, it doesn't look like a house that has been abandoned for many years.
Dao Mu stretched out his hand to wipe the pillar and found that it was spotless. At this moment, the wind was howling outside, there was no wisp of wind inside the house, and the air was filled with a faint smell of incense.
Dao Mu didn't feel stuffy, let alone cold, but he had a thick layer of goosebumps, which was creepy from the soul.
"Who?!"
As if hearing the sound of a baby laughing in his ears, Dao Mu followed the voice, only to see that the bonsai was windless and automatic, and there was no human figure. provoked Daomu to break out in a cold sweat, and the hand holding the handle of the knife also became slimy, which was very uncomfortable.
Shhh, Hou Dazhuang turned around and let Dao Mu silence, so he strode away and took the lead in entering the high hall, at this moment Hou Dazhuang also became cautious, holding the shepherd flute in one hand and the whip in the other, such a big man, more than twenty people, also trembled.
A wave of yin qi rushed to his face, and Dao Mu shivered all over his body, and couldn't help but wipe a handful of cold sweat from his hands on his clothes, and then grabbed the handle of the knife. Only by feeling the decisive knife, shaking slightly from time to time, and sending a little warmth, did Dao Mu gain some courage and a sense of security.
Hou Dazhuang turned his head to the Dao Mu envoy and nodded his nose, the Dao Mu willingly held his breath, and the two of them and one beast strode forward, but without any resistance, they did not enter the high wall.
By the time Dao Mu regained his eyesight, he had already come to a high platform.
The surrounding area is empty, the wind is blowing, blowing the incense on the lampstand swaying, exuding a strong smell of incense and candles.
Under the high platform, like Makita, it is divided into patches, and in each area, there are people standing neatly, like sculptures, their faces are shriveled and blue, their eyes are closed, and their fingers are black and as long as scimitars.
The yellow corpse water was flowing all over his body, and there was corpse oil the size of a grain of rice on his skin, and the burning incense could not hide the strong smell of corpses.
Sometimes I hear the sound of ancient sacrifices from afar as people pray to the heavens, sometimes I hear the shepherds singing pastoral songs in the wilderness in the howling wind, sometimes I hear the joyful roar of the herdsmen, and sometimes I hear the laughter of children playing and playing......
"Shepherd corpse!" Dao Mu's bloody eyes were fierce, he gritted his teeth with hatred, trembled with anger, and his anger exploded, wanting to vent.
Hou Dazhuang shook his head at Dao Mu, led Dao Mu down the high platform, and walked cautiously along the wall. Dao Mu's ears moved slightly, and he was suddenly shocked, "How can a dead corpse breathe." I don't know how long I walked, and I saw the word "pastoral" in a small phalanx.
Mu Cang and Mu Qing stood at the forefront, and there was a fat old man standing beside him, and the corpse oil dripped down the ground along his hands and feet, turning the earth black.
Dao Mu's eyes were bloody, and he saw that there was yellow smoke on the head of his father and mother in the heart of the cave roof, and the calamity was like a pillar, pouring down from the top, enveloping the round of figures below.
"Shepherd's corpse is a disaster!" four words poured out of Dao Mu's mind, his eyes showed despair and resentment, he glared at Da Zhuang angrily, and his eyes were about to split, "You ......"
Before Dao Mu could be hysterical, the surrounding scenery distorted, and at that moment he saw his father and mother open their eyes. The next moment, Dao Mu and the others returned to the high platform, and Hou Ye stood in front of them.
"Don't wake them up. When I saw him a year ago, his posture was still so upright, but at this time, Hou Ye's back became more and more rickety, like a walking shrimp, and his cloudy eyes were about to be lost, covered with a gray-yellow membrane.
Dressed in coarse linen clothes, his trousers rolled up, the only remaining thigh was like dead wood, and a pair of straw shoes with mud, he was like an old man who had just returned from the field.
"This is the root cause of Mu Xingshan's cut off children and grandchildren?!" Dao Mu raised his hand and pointed directly at the back of a stone platform in the middle of the corpse group, like an afterimage that will never disappear, Dao Mu has heard that it is the Dao shadow left by the cowherd before he died. "For the sake of an ethereal person, for an ethereal pastoral scripture, you have done such a thing that hurts the heavens and harms the yin virtues!"
Bang bang, the decisive knife trembled together, the ghost light swallowed, and people and gods were angry!
"What about hurting heaven and reason, we are doing this for the sake of future generations. Without the pastoral scriptures, there will be no more pastoral immortals, and without pastoral immortals, our Altair will always be a mortal star at the end of the universe. Hou Ye saw the knife in Dao Mu's hand, his cloudy eyes gave birth to a little light, and he trembled, "Child, we are all for you!"
"That's enough!" Dao Mu angrily drew his knife and pointed at Hou Ye, "Don't kidnap me morally with the phrase 'for our good', I won't eat this!"
"Son, when it happens, you two will thank us. Hou Ye squinted and smiled, not afraid of the sword in front of him, "Just wait for the Cowherd Dao shadow to become a disaster, and the pastoral scripture will reappear in the world, and then the two of you will get the purest pastoral Dao exercises, comprehend the pastoral path of heaven and earth, and feather the pastoral immortal......" The more Hou Ye spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had gone mad, and his spit flew everywhere.
"Roar ......" Dao Mu lowered his head and roared, trembling all over, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes.
Qiang, the knife was returned to the sheath, raised his head, bloody eyes and tears, trembling, "Please let go of my father and mother, let my grandfather go, let them rest in peace, okay?"
Now, Dao Mu sees his family again, they are not human ghosts, they are not ghosts, they have been trained to be herding corpses, their souls are imprisoned in this rotten and foul-smelling skin, and they will never be able to fall into reincarnation, how can they rest in peace.
"Children, they volunteered. Hou Ye smiled, raised his withered hand and pointed to the corner where his father and mother were, "Because of your despair, they don't want to fall into reincarnation." They came back here by themselves, walked into the corpse array by themselves, just to summon the pastoral scriptures, so that you can live well, live with sunshine, and live with hope.
In their opinion, as long as you and Xiyi are doing well, this is more important than anything else. ”
"No way, no way, you must have dug up their graves and stolen their bodies. Ancestors, please spare them, and let these poor people rest in peace.
What's so good about becoming an immortal, after becoming an immortal, you can only watch the people around you die one by one, but you will never die. ”
Dao Mu's tone was weak, crying like a child, but he actually believed Hou Ye's words. Mom and Dad came back by themselves, and Grandpa came back by himself. That day he took away the bodies of the two old men, and it didn't take long for the grandfather to disappear in the blink of an eye.
"We don't need pastoralism, we young people can create our own pastoralism, I have a lot of Zhuguo, so that the starting line of the children of Muxing Mountain is stronger than others. Dao Mu cried silently, wanting to talk to Hou Ye, hoping that Hou Ye could understand his pain.
"Only with the pastoral scriptures can there be a future. Hou Ye sighed lightly, "Vega Star has come out of the Weaving Sky Fairy, my morning glory star luck is getting darker and darker, there is no pastoral scripture, how can I come out of the Shepherd Immortal?"
Qiang, the knife came out again, and Dao Mu swung his knife and slashed at Hou Ye. Hou Ye smiled and shook his head, his two fingers poked out like pincers, and he held the decisive knife steadily, Rao is Daomu was as strong as a dragon, and he couldn't pull out the decisive knife.
Smack, Hou Dazhuang whipped with red eyes, and only took Hou Ye's neck, "You kid, are you fat?" Hou Ye grabbed the whip with his other hand steadily, and his dry hand was not scarred.
"Go away, get out of here, and come back until the shepherd is born. Take a good look, see the cruelty of the world, experience the cold of the world, and understand that everything we do is for your good. ”
Dao Mu didn't listen, his cold face was cold, his bloody eyes faded, his eyes were faint, the stars were flashing, and his black hair turned white in an instant. Hou Ye only felt that the two fingers were stinging and weak, the decisive knife had been withdrawn, Dao Mu pinched the sword fingers with his left hand to press the back of the knife, and raised the decisive knife with his right hand.
"Become a Buddha with a sword!" The sound mark is like a fierce demon, from Ah Bi.
The sword finger pressed the knife, the right hand swung down, the sword finger wiped the back of the knife, the bloody red blade, and the shadow of the knife shrouded Hou Ye.
"Little one, you want to swallow an elephant before your wings are hard. A faded old smoking gun danced happily in Hou Ye's hand, breaking through the sword qi one by one, and the cigarette butt poked out like a dragon, knocking Dao Mu away and smashing it on the stone wall.
Hou Dazhuang was tied into a dumpling by his own whip, moving like a worm, wanting to stand up and hit Hou Ye with his head, the cigarette butt rammed his abdomen, and suddenly his eyes widened like goldfish eyes, and his waist was like a shrimp, and he fell on Dao Mu's body.
"Old fellow, aren't you afraid of retribution for yourself?!" Dao Mu was weak, and Hou Ye's blow sealed his whole body with his strength, and disappeared along with his strength.
"Retribution has already come...... Hou Ye took a deep puff of cigarette and spit out a puff of helplessness, "Ah Dao, Da Zhuang, the future of Muxing Mountain depends on you." ”
"What about my sister?!" Dao Mu used up his remaining strength, his face was red and hysterical.
"In the plan, there was no her. Hou Ye suddenly grinned, his wrinkled face condensed into a sunflower, he was too excited, and coughed up a puff of cigarette, "Now she, with the natural disaster, is the most perfect ending for the two of you, or for us, or for Xi Yi herself." ”
Hahaha......
In Hou Ye's crazy laughter, Dao Mu, A Meng, and Hou Dazhuang were unconscious.
Well?!
Dao Mu rubbed his eyes, the sun had already revealed his whole face, and the golden light shone brightly, dispelling the coldness of the darkness remaining between heaven and earth. Dao Mu is warm, his pores are dilated, and he absorbs the warmth of the sun without restraint.
Suddenly, his body shook, his face was full of horror, he looked around and found that he was already outside Muxing Town, a big donkey carrying sleepy-eyed Hou Dazhuang.
"How could we be here?" Dao Mu and Hou Dazhuang said in unison, and everything yesterday was vivid.
Under the warm sun, the golden light warmed the world, and Dao Mu and Hou Dazhuang still had goosebumps all over their bodies, and they were afraid for a while when they thought about it, and their hearts were cold. At this moment, they didn't understand where they got the courage to enter there, and they were still angry at Hou Ye.
Dao Mu felt something, turned his head to look at the top of Muxing Mountain, only to see that the top of the mountain was full of people, they were all uncles and aunts in the village.
At the front were Hou Ye, Uncle Hou and Uncle Hou, and then looking at Hou Ye's other side, Dao Mu couldn't hold back any longer, the corners of his eyes slid into a string, fell to the ground and shattered, and his heart was broken.
Mu Cang and Mu Qing waved goodbye to him like puppets, Dao Mu saw that gaze, that gaze was the flickering gaze in Lao Wu's eyes before he beheaded Lao Wu.
"Daddy, Mommy......"
"Your love is too heavy. ”
"I'm going to be crushed to death ......"
Everything seems to be clear, but the truth is so sad, obviously for the future, but there is an indescribable suffocation, suffocating, breathless.
Dao Mu wept and sobbed, waiting for Da Zhuang to cry loudly, crying like a child who was kicked out of the house by his parents, this sacred donkey is Hou Ye's mount, a sacred beast in the town and village.
"It's all for your good. This sentence expresses the hearts of many parents in the world, but how have parents ever thought that this is what children want?
"Love is too heavy, I'm going to be crushed to death. Daomu's words speak the hearts of countless children.
Seeing that Da Zhuang and Dao Mu's behavior began to get out of control, the big black donkey screamed at Ah Meng, turned into two winds, and left in the dust.
The wind is bleak and the light is shining, but the Muxing Mountain is as cold as winter.
"They're gone. Hou Ye muttered, unable to see sadness or joy.
"One day, they will forgive our ......"
"We're doing it for their ......"
“......”
Mu Cang and Mu Qing's hands were still shaking, their eyes had not moved, their mouths were slightly open, closed and closed, and the corners of their eyes were flowing with clear yellow liquid, I don't know if it was tears or corpse water.
"Child, you have to ...... well"
