Chapter 65: Listening
The next day, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and it was still daytime but the sky was unusually dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The rain fell a lot, like silver-gray sticky spider silk, woven into a soft web, netting this mountain village far from the glitz and bundane world, like a baptism of its own, purifying all kinds of filth for so long, keeping the mountain village clean.
The villagers are also rare to rest at home today, and those men who usually hunt have also gone home to sleep, they usually exert too much force, and finally they can't go into the mountains to hunt in the rain, so they naturally have to sleep at home for a long time to recuperate.
Under the rain, there was not a single figure walking in the fields, only the crops and herbs that enjoyed the blessings of heaven in the rain were swaying slightly, and they seemed to be very cheerful.
There was a faint light coming from a hut in the middle of a hut surrounded by farmland, and it was not surprising that there were people lighting it up now because it was dark.
The rain is slapping on the ground, on the rocks, on the roof, the sound is exceptionally crisp, it sounds like a pleasure, and this quiet and far-reaching peaceful atmosphere is even more refreshing, and all worries will be diluted by the sound of the rain.
"It's been a long time since it's rained so much. Inside, in the dim light, a beautiful woman sat upright, although she was wearing the most ordinary linen clothes, but the elegance and tranquility unique to this country girl were the daughter of any princes from the outside world.
The girl looked at the drizzle outside, and the beautiful eyes of the autumn water crossed the world filled with water vapor, and enjoyed the baptism of the soul, this silence and peace, which made people linger more than ever.
"Doesn't it rain a lot here?" asked the girl on the other side of the girl, a man who didn't seem to have been in the village for long, and was puzzled by the girl's words.
"Yes, it's been two months since there was no rain, but luckily we planted drought-tolerant crops, otherwise life would have been difficult. The girl replied, but there was not much expectation in her words, but only a feeling.
"This kind of charm, why does it always make my heart flutter, did I really have a lover like her before?" The young man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the girl's quiet posture, and the girl's figure seemed to overlap with a shadow in his heart, making him so distracted.
In the vast cloudy sky, the rain melts the world, the sound is disturbing, the eye is full of gray, and you can only see the shadow of the mountain on the horizon, the plants in the field sway in the rain, receiving and enjoying this purification, the filth and washing, everyone is hidden, a ray of light is revealed from the dim hut, a young girl sits quietly, looking out the window stupidly, is the rain setting off her, or is she setting off the rain scene? Or have the two long been integrated......
Peng Hui is also sitting by the window like this now, but Yiren is looking at the rain, he looks at Yiren, and his heart is touched again, looking for the shadow that looms in his mind.
"?, Lin Long, do you want to hear me tell a story?" The girl who was sitting by the window, looking at the rain scene with her eyes indissipated, suddenly spoke up, she turned around lightly and looked at Peng Hui with complicated eyes.
"Well, what's the story? Peng Hui was stunned for a moment, then replied curiously and suspiciously, that he didn't expect Fluttershy to come to such a stubble.
It's been a few days since they've been together, and Fluttershy is usually a tomboy, and it's rare to seem to be full of sadness like today, so Peng Hui is naturally interested in the story Fluttershy wants to tell.
The rain continued, and Fluttershy, who was sitting by the window, turned her back to Peng Hui so that he could not see the complex emotions on her face, and then took a deep breath and said slowly, word by word:
"Once upon a time, in a distant place, there was a small family, although the cultivation atmosphere within the clan was very competitive, but all generations of clans got along very harmoniously and made progress together, and the strength of the clan gradually became stronger as a result......
Fluttershy whispered, her words very flat, and Peng Hui turned her back to her, not knowing what her expression was or what emotions she had.
Peng Hui had only listened to it for a short time, and naturally he didn't hear any vague meaning, so he had to continue listening to it driven by curiosity.
"The strength of the family is gradually growing, and it will soon become a first-class family in a large area nearby, and the rise speed is amazing, and the juniors in the clan are also stronger from generation to generation, presumably it will become a super power in the near future......
Peng Hui listened carefully, and although what Fluttershy said seemed to have nothing to do with it, he was suddenly a little restless, as if he felt that a turning point was about to occur, and sure enough, Fluttershy was silent for a moment, and then continued with a sad remark:
"But one day there was a sudden anomaly, it was a rainy day, a baby girl was born in this family, it was the daughter of the new patriarch, her birth immediately caused a sensation in the clan, the clan came to celebrate, and even other forces around came to congratulate the new patriarch......"
"Sounds like a good story, doesn't it?" After talking about the birth of the baby girl, Fluttershy suddenly asks Peng Hui, her voice still shaking.
"Well, it's a good story, a not-so-strong family has gradually become powerful by virtue of its competitive but united and harmonious intra-clan relations, and the younger generations are also heroic, presumably the daughter of the new patriarch will also be a great lady of heaven in the future. Peng Hui analyzed, his expression solemn, and his heart was a little frowning when he heard this, although he was in a state of amnesia, but his natural high perception has not changed, and he has been suspicious since he noticed that Fluttershy's tone changed and he spit out the word "strange number".
But she tentatively replies, waiting for Fluttershy's next step.
"You seem interested, do you want to listen to it?" Fluttershy asks with her back to Peng Hui with a vague hint of crying, and then quickly falls silent again, as if she has discovered her gaffe.
Outside, the rain was falling even harder, and the rain on the eaves flowed like a stream, and when it reached the edge, it rushed down like a waterfall, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
"Go on, it's been an appetite for me for so long. Peng Hui suppresses the turmoil in his heart and calmly speaks as a way to defuse Fluttershy's nervousness and unstable emotions.
"Okay, then you can keep listening. Fluttershy eased her emotions a little, and then unnoticed, tucking her right hand into her sleeve, which Peng Hui didn't notice, before she closed her eyes again and returned to her original flat tone.
"The baby girl is naturally growing up gradually, but to everyone's surprise, the girl has reached the age of fifteen and has not been able to become a monk, obviously the soul power is saturated, but it is impossible to refine the beast soul, and it can't be done after many attempts......"
Peng Hui couldn't help but be surprised, if ordinary mortals forcibly refined the beast soul, they would have already died of it, the big family really has a foundation, and it can let one person try so many times...... Peng Hui was still suspicious of something, but now his curiosity exploded, and he thought of it all.
"The family was disappointed, but the family retained the principle of harmony that it had before, and did not discriminate against the girl because of it, but tried to help her in any way they could, albeit to no avail, and the elders often comforted the patriarch that they did not disturb the family as a result......
Peng Hui affirmed in his heart that Fluttershy had told him such a long story with mixed emotions, and it was probably a reference to ...... Peng Hui didn't want to think anymore, he desperately drove himself to divert his attention.
"Well, how can I say it? This family is really extraordinary, no wonder it can rise quickly and dominate one side, and it must be able to last for a long time in the future. Peng Hui finally forcibly distracts from Fluttershy and panders to Fluttershy.
"If only that were the case," Fluttershy said suddenly, her words filled with helplessness and sadness, which were hard to suppress at this point, "Unfortunately, it's all a waste, or a kind of cruelty!"
"That girl has never been able to become a monk, she is not as optimistic as other clansmen, she has always tried to find a way to overcome this difficulty, so as not to worry the clansmen, especially for her father, not to become a burden to the family, but her efforts have been in exchange for a tragedy!"
At this point, Fluttershy choks up and can't hold back her emotions any longer.
"It was still raining that day, just like the day the girl was born, but this time it didn't bring new life to the family, but death. On that day, boundless blood rose from somewhere in the clan, and the girl lost consciousness at that time, and at the last moment before fainting, she faintly heard the frightened cries of her clan, and then all sounds disappeared, and her vision was blurred. ”
Fluttershy herself is dressed in a plain sackcloth dress, but now the sleeve that covers her right hand is slowly turning blood red.
By the time the girl came back to her senses, everything was doomed, in the rain of grief, blood was running down the ground, mutilated bodies were everywhere, houses were collapsing, and the whole family was lifeless. The girl was stunned, frightened by the elephant in front of her, and she looked at her hands, stained with blood, and grasped a man's arm in her right hand......"
"The girl was frightened, and she began to flee, crying desperately, to escape from this place of right and wrong, and to tell the truth she was not at all like a mortal at that time, and ran until dark, and the next morning she crossed a mountainous field, and saw her face by a lake, which was covered with blood, and her mouth was full of dried blood, and fled in a hurry, and she found it then, and immediately collapsed......"
"Later, she began to wander again, and walked from place to place, and she was afraid of being the same as her tribesmen at that time, so she didn't want to die at that time, and she persevered to survive, and finally she drifted to a distant mountain village, where the villagers were very simple, and that feeling reminded her of her family, and then settled here, but she found a painful situation that made her unable to enjoy the slightest happiness in her life!"
At this point, Fluttershy suddenly stood up, and she turned to look at Peng Hui, her beautiful eyes full of tears, sadness, helplessness, self-deprecation, and grievance...... Too many emotions are mixed together.
"That girl is you. Peng Hui also got up, and he sighed helplessly, how could he not know what Fluttershy was telling this story for?
"Looks like you know," Fluttershy smirked as she slowly pulled up the blood-stained sleeve that covered her right hand, and Peng Hui's eyes froze as he finally saw something that he couldn't calm down.
Peng Hui's skull began to ache, and it seemed that another memory was churning in his brain.
"Blood Demon Clan!" Peng Hui said, this was something he said unconsciously, and he found it in the memory that had just appeared.
"It's the Blood Demon Clan," Fluttershy said sadly, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I was so happy when I heard yesterday that you could help me refine my beast soul, I've been holding my memories closed for so long, so I was very happy last night, but today ......"
"Today's rain is so similar to the feeling it brought to me twice, the memories I sealed in the depths of my mind have finally returned, and the body that was suppressed by the family secret method has also changed again, just like what you see now!"
Her right hand is no longer a snow-white wrist, there is a layer of blood-colored scales growing on it, and the blood on the scales is very strong, and people who are not strong-willed will be directly intimidated.
"The Blood Demon Clan, a very rare Terran variant, has a lifespan comparable to a divine beast, looks the same as a human when he is young, does not cultivate the soul of his birth, and awakens the soul of the Blood Demon when he reaches maturity, and may be a descendant of the ancient Blood Demon; 。 Peng Hui found the answer in the part of his memory that he had just awakened, and he said with a wry smile.
"You think back to some memories, indeed, the Blood Demon shouldn't exist in this world, how can it be resurrected. Fluttershy cries as he slowly distances herself from Peng Hui until she reaches the windowsill, where some of the rain laps on her delicate body.
"I can't go on like this, Lin Long, I've had a great time with you, I don't have any regrets, now I have figured it out, I'm already a sinful body, living in the world will only increase tragedy, death is not so terrible, farewell, Lin Long!" Fluttershy didn't care about her rain-soaked back, she cried and laughed, and at the end of the sentence she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her left sleeve, and from the dazzling silver light that came from it, it was definitely a Horcrux.
Fluttershy smiles poignantly, closing her eyes and stabbing herself in the chest with her dagger, even though she is a Bloodseeker.
Suddenly, Fluttershy wants to cut herself, and her speed is so fast that even a second-order monk can't stop her, not to mention that Peng Hui has already slowed down a beat.
The rain suddenly lightened, and Fluttershy's jade hand stopped in mid-air, unable to go any further, and she opened her eyes in confusion, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, and all of them flowed out.
Peng Hui rushed to her side, grabbed the dagger with his right hand, and held down a Horcrux with his bare hands in such a short time, Peng Hui's right hand was also cut full of blood, but he still let it stop, and there was a powerful soul power flowing in the palm of his hand.
This is not the power of a first-order monk, Peng Hui was promoted to a second-order monk in the previous crisis, and then the vertical and horizontal method automatically activated, forcibly stopping Fluttershy.
"Why?" Fluttershy cries, whether she is moved or sad, but her poignant appearance is distressing to look at.
"Because you are my friend, of course I want to protect you!" Peng Hui smiled, and the smiling face full of sunshine was again.
Gradually, the rain will stop, and the clouds will disperse. (To be continued)
