Volume 1 The Aftermath Chapter 24 The Blind Man
Qi Wang looked at it.
It looked at Qi Wang.
The voice of this primordial and pure evil force was surprisingly soft, "Long time no see. ”
Qi Wang responded softly: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The nightmarish monster only had the young shopkeeper in front of it, and its bladed hands rubbed back and forth, making a staggered sound of toothache: "Thank you for taking care of me for the past eight years, which made me worse than dead, but fortunately, I still survived." ”
Qi Wang tilted his head slightly, stared directly at the dark monster, and muttered, "I really regret that I should have killed you in the first place." ”
The monster's tiny mouth seemed to move.
It's laughing, laughing presumptuously: "Why do you always like to say big things that don't make sense?" ”
The huge strange man at the door laughed wildly and raised the blood-stained giant axe, which was a huge height of his feet, and slashed at the young man, with great momentum and unstoppable.
Qianxian's face suddenly turned pale.
How can there be such power!
She has been in charge of Qingyang City for ten years, and she has met countless capable people, even if she has even seen the ancient realm high above, but their shots are as different from the strange people in front of her.
The axe he chopped down was like smashing a mountain head-on!
Qi Wang still didn't look at the strange man, raised his left hand calmly, and met the falling giant axe under Qianxian's horrified gaze.
The sharp and hideous axe slashed at the slender palm.
The two are at a stalemate.
Qian Xian stared at the staggered between the two, and she suddenly found that Qi Wang's palm seemed to be surrounded by countless silk threads, and if she looked closely, it seemed to be a formation.
The next moment, the light in Qi Wang's palm suddenly bloomed.
The huge weirdo flew out of the door and smashed to the ground.
Qi Wang's palms were closed.
The earth shook like a dragon turning over, houses collapsed, and the earth cracked, as if the end was coming.
Golden lines stretched for dozens of miles appeared on the ground around them, and their majestic power was like a revived dragon.
This is a formation!
The nightmare monster screamed sharply, and the blade in its hand slammed into Qi Wang's chest.
The two touched, but the blade disappeared in an instant like boiling water in snow.
Qi Wang spit out a word: "Broken!"
The shaking heaven and earth shattered instantly, and everything returned to normal and tranquility.
Qianxian looked back sharply and saw a long and narrow dark gap, which was the cave where the two of them had walked!
They're still out of the hole!
"Fantasy ......"
Qianxian was stunned.
Another illusion?
Which one is true and which one is false?
Not far from the two of them, a wizened and rudimentary entity stood beside the nightmare monster floating in the air, wielding a worn-out scythe and smiling strangely.
The creature monster, with its long slender legs supporting its outstretched body, was terrifying, and its eyes were like black crows in the middle of the night, red and terrifying.
Qi Wang held a complicated and mysterious three-dimensional formation in his hand, and he finally looked at the straw man monster for the first time.
The last time he came, he didn't have it.
The formation is still there.
The nightmare was still suppressed, and what it saw in front of it was just a projection of overflowing power, so its offensive was nothing, and it couldn't hurt Qi Wang in the slightest, but the straw man monster was the real body.
Nightmare's figure stepped back, and her voice was still soft: "Soon, soon, I'll be able to get out of trouble, I hope that when the time comes, I can taste your fear, I think it will be the most delicious thing I've ever eaten." ”
The straw man monster laughed and turned into countless screaming black crows, fluttering and flying away.
Qianxian had palpitations and hurriedly asked, "What is that?"
Qi Wang lowered his head and stared at the formation in his hand, and after a closer look, there were already many cracks visible to the naked eye, crumbling, and he replied, "The fear left over from ancient times. ”
Qi Wang muttered: "It shouldn't be so strong, eight years of sealing will wear out its strength, my intention is to bind it to be your master." ”
Qianxian looked at Qi Wang blankly.
The master he was looking for her turned out to be this?
Qi Wang sighed: "It is good at diving into dreams, dominating everything, but now we have never dreamed, it can also cast illusions, these eight years have made it more and more powerful, we have been under its control since the moment we entered the cave." ”
From where they stood, they could see a small village in the basin below, and it was early in the morning, and there were only a few lights in the village.
Qi Wang stood still for a long time.
After a while, he chose to walk towards the village down the mountain.
Qianxian followed.
Along the way, in just a dozen miles, Qianxian saw corpses everywhere, many of which had turned into white bones, and some dried corpses formed after the wind and rain, and their thin faces were full of indescribable horror.
Appalling!
All the people who entered the demon village died on this path into the village.
Walking out of the remote forest, Qianxian realized that something was wrong, compared with the desolate and dead silence in the forest before, the small village in front of her seemed to be vibrant, quiet and serene, and not invaded by ghosts.
Qi Wang stopped and looked at the sky.
Qianxian also subconsciously raised her head, there was nothing.
However, in the next moment, Qianxian's eyes suddenly widened, and she almost couldn't believe her eyes.
A huge illusory bell is encompassing and buckled on the top of the entire village, which is inviolable by all laws and ghosts, forming a scene completely different from the miserable and lonely outside world.
----------------------
In the middle of the village, there is a bluestone slab road that crosses the whole town, and the sky is only clear, and you can see a thin young man holding a bucket in both hands, struggling to move on the road, stopping from time to time to rest, shaking his hand vigorously and continuing to walk forward, after a while, he finally appeared in his sight that was surrounded by a bamboo fence of the small wooden house, the young man took a breath, staggered to the courtyard with a bucket, and then opened the water tank in the courtyard, poured water in.
"Crunch ......"
The wooden door opened in response, and a man on crutches walked out slowly, the crutches in his hand tapped the ground to explore, and his voice was mellow: "Back?"
The young man put down the bucket, trotted over and helped the man to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Master Li, why did you get up so early today?" ”
The man's eyes were covered with a cloth, and his ears were slightly twitching, obviously he had long been accustomed to seeing the world with his ears, and the boy had heard the man occasionally talk about it, he was not born blind, he had also seen the colorful and wonderful world, but then why he was blind, the man never mentioned it.
The man put the cane in his hand to the side, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "I can't sleep when I'm old, so I get up early." ”
The young man smiled, and then ran back to the house, lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, there was not much hot porridge in it, he looked back at the rice bag on the side, the rice in it was almost bottoming out, the young man thought about it, divided the hot porridge in the pot into four even bowls, and then took out one bowl, and then divided it into three parts, so that the last three bowls were pitiful, almost half of the bowl.
The full three bowls are Master Li's three meals a day, and the remaining three bowls are his own three meals.
The boy is very happy, and the young man is not afraid of hunger.
The young man picked up two bowls of porridge and walked to the door and put them on the table: "Master Li, eat it while it's hot." ”
The man smiled and nodded, the two chatted while eating, nothing more than trivial things in the village, even if the boy drank very slowly, but no matter how small the thin hot porridge was, it had already seen the bottom, in order not to make the man suspicious, the young man also drank two sips from time to time on the empty bowl, and made a swallowing sound, the man did not seem to suspect, after a while, the young man picked up the man's bowl and entered the house, and walked out after washing the dishes, and sat in the courtyard with the man.
"Xiang Rong. ”
The man tilted his head slightly, although he couldn't see, he could feel the young man sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Count, we've known each other for eight years, right?"
Xiang Rong nodded slightly, with a bright smile: "Well, this year is the eighth year, and I still remember that it was the end of autumn when I was six years old, and we met at that small temple outside the village." ”
The corners of the man's mouth moved slightly.
yes, it's been eight years.
There are very few outsiders in the village, let alone a blind man who can trek alone, so the man who was bumped into by the children in the village in the small temple became a rarity, and soon attracted seven or eight children in the village, the children were curious and afraid, and at first called him twice, and the blind man would smile and respond, but after shouting too much, the blind man also gave up, but he did not expect that the later children saw that he no longer responded, and became stubborn, and carefully threw him with a small pebble, and saw that the blind man did not have any overreaction and began to intensify, and the blind man who was smashed several times on his head and face just wiped the abrasions on his forehead and cheeks with the back of his hand, and did not speak, The children's hands are not strong, but they are not small, plus they are real hard stones, and it still hurts to hit the face and body, but where can these children who have not yet opened their minds manage these, and it is important to have fun.
The children began to run around the blind man, giggling and teasing the blind man, until a bold older boy secretly snatched his crutches from the blind man's hand, and the blind man finally panicked and hurriedly chased after him, but it was a pity that he was the opponent of these nimble children, and after stumbling several times, he still failed to snatch back his crutches, and finally was tripped by the little boys who "accidentally" stretched out their feet, and fell face to the ground firmly, and his mouth was full of blood.
At that time, a pair of small palms wrapped around the blind man's arm and pulled him up: "Are you okay?"
The owner of the palm was angry: "Yang Sanjin, hurry up and return the crutches to others!"
"Don't pay it back!"
The little boy, who was half a head taller than his peers, glared at him: "Don't be nosy, do your work, you can't finish your work, be careful that Lao Lu Tou doesn't give you food at night!"
"That's it. ”
"Xiang Rong, who has no father and no mother, go quickly!"
The little ones who are having fun are helping out, they don't like this outlier in the village, Xiang Rong is always out of place with them, and he doesn't want to use his childhood nature with them.
The little boy held up the cane in his hand and shouted as described in his travelogue: "I am the god of war!" We are the bravest and most powerful warriors, even blood and death cannot bring us to our knees, only I can lead us to victory!"
The little ones around echoed and bowed their heads and had a lot of fun.
The little boy put down his crutches, pointed at the thin Xiang Rong, and was domineering: "Take out the blood of the Guno people, and use the battle to get back what you want!"
Xiang Rong didn't speak, calm and relative.
Seeing that Xiang Rong didn't move, the little boy sneered: "Come on, I can give you a hand, little wild child!"
Xiang Rong, who had not moved, heard the last three words, the fingers hidden in the sleeve to the ring finger slowly closed to the palm, and finally the thumb pressed the middle finger, clenching tighter and tighter, just when he was about to make a move, a pair of broad palms on his shoulders, and the blind man with a little blood left on the corner of his mouth shook his head at him, and chuckled: "It's okay, let's make another one then, it's very simple." ”
Xiang Rong's palm slowly loosened, stared at the little boy and said word by word: "I'm not a little wild child. ”
Yang Sanjin didn't notice anything unusual, and he didn't care about this painless rebuttal, he just sneered, he was not interested in people who wouldn't resist, and casually threw away the crutches in his hand: "Hey, it's boring, brothers, let's go, let's go out and play!"
A group of people hugged each other and giggled away.
Xiang Rong walked over and picked up the crutches on the ground, handed it to the blind man, and a smile slowly bloomed on his little face.
"Thank you. ”
The blind man took the cane, reached out with his palm, and touched the head of the child in front of him.
"You're welcome. ”
Xiang Rong smiled brightly and said solemnly: "When we met for the first time, my surname was Xiang and my name was Xiang Rong. ”
The blind man was on crutches, and he also replied seriously: "My surname is Li, and my single name is a first character." ”
Xiang Rong sighed, and then smiled: "Then I'll call you Master Li, it's been a long time since I've been to the village, and I've always longed for the outside world, where are you from?"
"I'm from a place called Shuoji Temple. ”
Li Chu saw the thoughtful look on Xiang Rong's face, smiled slightly, and did not embarrass the little boy's limited knowledge anymore, and immediately said: "The outside world is very exciting and interesting, when you are older, you can go and see it." ”
......
Xiang Rong came back to his senses from the memory of eight years ago, and the blind man beside him smiled warmly.
"Xiang Rong!"
Outside the courtyard, a rickety old man walked slowly and shouted inside, it was the oldest and oldest old man in the village.
"Come on! you clean up, come with me to unload, and I'll give you five copper plates!"
Old Lu Tou stretched out five fingers, and as he spoke loudly, he showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Hurry up, if you are slower, I will immediately call those little bastards in the alley to do it, although those guys are always lazy in their work, but they are better than your thin arms and legs!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Xiang Rong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said hello to Li Chu and hurriedly ran to the house to change clothes, five silver coins, that can buy rice for a week.
Xiang Rong, who had changed into a set of loose clothes, glanced at the hot porridge on the stove, and before leaving, he poured the remaining porridge in his bowl into the two big bowls, and after doing this, he rushed all the way to the door, and shouted to Li Chu by the way: "Master Li, you don't have to wait for me for lunch and dinner!"
Xiang Rong followed Lao Lu Tou and left quickly, Li Chu in the courtyard sat for a while and then stood up, five years have made him know everything about the yard and the things in the house, he turned back to the house, there was a faint aroma of porridge on the stove not far away, Li Chu stood in front of the stove, his fingers gently touched the edge of the porcelain bowl, and the full white porridge was about to overflow.
For eight years, it was this thin child who held him up, and although his ability was limited, he always kept the best for this stranger who had nothing to do with him.
The town is not big, so Li Chu can often hear the voices of the village talking about him when he occasionally walks out, and these villagers often whisper when he walks away, but Li Chu, who has been blind for so many years, has long been sensitive to hearing, and most of them can hear their conversations clearly, which is nothing more than a grievance for this child, looking down on himself as a blind man who eats white food on a child.
But yes, I've been in this cabin for eight years.
The blind man who was in the house seemed to feel something, and turned his head to "look" at the young man and woman standing outside the fence courtyard.
Blind and blind, he strode to the door like a normal person at this moment, his tall body was half a head taller than Qi Wang.
The blind man was silent for a long time.
Qi Wang didn't speak.
The blind man finally spoke, but his voice seemed to be much hoarse: "How are you ...... That's it?"
Qi Wang silently took a step back.
Clench your fists.
Makeover.
Bow down to the end.
The trembling continued.
"Qi Wang, I'm ashamed of Mr. ”
