The Land of Ghosts - Thorn Le Xiao Hui'er (I)

"Xiao Hui'er, calm down, don't think nonsense, take it easy." Mu Ziyun supported the trembling Thorn Le Xiao Hui'er and came to the side of the old tree demon on the hundreds of floors of the long street.

Mu Ziyun said to the old tree demon: "Old tree, do you have a way to help her stabilize her mind, I don't even know which soul is her own." ”

The old dryad's green eyes sparkled, he only used a vine to point at Xiao Hui'er's forehead, Xiao Hui'er's body acupoints became crystal clear, emitting a pale yellow light, and at the core of the acupoints, a green and shining grass grew, the grass branched out, connected to each of Xiao Hui'er's acupoints, and Xiao Hui'er gradually stabilized her mood, she closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, but her forehead was still sweating, and her lips trembled slightly.

A green floating point of light appeared around Xiao Hui'er, from sparse to dense, and the scene behind the light point began to change slowly, as if forming a mirror that could peek into the world.

"What is this?" Mu Ziyun looked at the old dryad suspiciously, and asked, "Old tree, what are you doing?" ”

The old dryad replied: "Although I am a revenant, my ability is still there, just like you said that the ghost kingdom always meets the requirements of the revenant's fantasy, you may not see the effect of my ability, but I can see it, and I don't mind sharing it with you." ”

"You can see her heart and the past?" Mu Ziyun asked anxiously, "Will it hurt her?" ”

"No, what you're about to see is her memory." After the old dryad finished speaking, the fairy grass in the acupuncture veins of Xiao Hui'er began to fade its figure, and at the same time, a circular "mirror" with different pictures appeared behind Xiao Hui'er, wrapping the old tree, Mu Ziyun and Xiao Hui'er in it, and after a while, the image became coherent, and a sound also appeared in the "mirror".

Mu Ziyun saw a group of girls staring at him, what Mu Ziyun saw was the angle he was at in his memory, that is to say, this was the scene when a group of girls were looking at Xiao Hui'er of Thorn, the angle of their eyes was a little wrong, which made Xiao Hui'er look very short, maybe Xiao Hui'er was a child at that time.

At the beginning of the second picture, the owner of the line of sight has been changing, just like he met Xiao Zhuang who gambled on vision in "Lucky" before his death, and the same scene he saw became different because of the eyes of different people, after a long time, Mu Ziyun finally saw the object that these girls were looking at, it turned out that it was a small puppet with rough embroidery, and the puppet was embroidered with the word Xiao Hui'er.

Mu Ziyun exclaimed Xiao Hui'er, and at this moment, the "mirror" shattered, and Mu Ziyun and Lao Shu dreamed back to the past ten thousand years ago.

There are very few kingdoms in this world, and cultivators are unwilling to accept bondage, and only mortals can be imprisoned by the law, and this kind of imprisonment is often more grinding than any kind of prison in the world.

The Crota people live in poverty in Daze Mountain, which has a history of thousands of years, and the perseverance of one clan to guard the mountain remains unchanged, and one clan is a country.

At that time, the world was extraordinary, because it coincided with the creation war once in 3,000 years, which caused hundreds of people to be displaced, and a group of people who had suffered from prison disasters were escorted to Kyoto by officials to build the Great Wall. And this group of prisoners are mostly strong men, when they are ordinary people, they are arrogant and domineering, often bullying men and women, they take advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of the people in wartime, they cooperate to assassinate officials, and flee into the mountains to stand on their own, never thought that the more chaotic the government's control of the law and law will be, the more majestic it is, and within a few days the government ordered the extermination of these thieves.

This group of men abandoned the mountain and fled, all the way to be chased and killed, and finally thirty or fifty people fled into the Daze Mountain, only to get rid of the pursuit of the government, the terrain of the Daze Mountain is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a broken temple on the mountainside, but the dwarf and dilapidated are hidden in the dry grass, the top of the temple is only a few feet high from the ground, there is a native carved in it, and a brick is erected next to it, and the crotch tile mountain god is engraved on it, this temple itself has a history of more than 500 years, but a certain person built it here by chance, before and after that, no one has ever entered Daze Mountain.

The leading man knelt down again and said, "From this day on, we are the people of the Crota tribe, and we have been here for generations, and we will not be born again. "They can't be born, after war is peace, and a peaceful world can't tolerate these filthy people.

But Daze Mountain has not become a paradise, just because the mountain is barren and lacks water, crops can not be planted, and fruit forests are really scarce, this group of men dig tree roots and wild vegetables, throw hard soil to explore water sources, busy for several months to completely stabilize, barely survived, and built an earthen house together, built a sleeping shed, so far, the next problem comes, they need women.

The men deliberated all night, and finally decided to go out of the mountain, they timidly climbed over the rocks, and ran dozens of miles with vague memories overnight before they met a small village, there were only seventeen or eighteen families in the village, and this group of men climbed into a courtyard together in the dark, but they were found by the master who went out of the house to relieve them, and the man was frightened by the dozens of black strong men in front of him, and was opened before he could shout, and fell to the ground.

The thieves rushed into the house, groped and lit candles, there were two rooms on the left and right of the room, the daughter-in-law of the dead male protagonist fell asleep on the right, in her forties, and a boy in his twenties slept in the left room.

There was finally the first scream in the village, it was the daughter of the Song family, a teenage girl, who was carried on the shoulders of the thieves along with his mother, and was knocked unconscious by crying and beating.

The thieves snatched the food and wine, and they didn't need money, and they didn't need it in the future, so they set off back to the mountain before dawn, and rushed back to the mountain before noon, and the thieves had the heart to count, and carried back a total of twenty-one women, six of whom were killed by the thieves, and they originally just wanted to be knocked out, but the thieves were also very afraid at the time, so they shot harder. Of the remaining fifteen women, the oldest is in her fifties, and the youngest is the teenage daughter of the Song family.

The thieves were all men of strong blood, and they were tired from such a tiring journey, and they were even more trapped in the mountains for many days, and their hearts were dry, so after they looked at each other, they all turned into beasts and pounced on them. Forty-six or seven thieves and men were doing acts of heavenly killing, and the poor mother and daughter of the Song family fell into the wolf den like this.

After the destruction, the thieves were a little distressed, there were too few women, and they didn't know whose babies they gave birth to, and they didn't want to live with their wives, so they discussed going down the mountain in another direction to catch more women back, and these fifteen or sixteen women should be just toys for the brothers to vent.

After that, they went down the mountain in batches, each robbed their respective daughters-in-law, and also experienced the pursuit of the government, and were killed by more than a dozen thieves. After the officials chased them, they fled into the depths of Daze Mountain, using the methods of survival accumulated before, and survived the search time of the government, and after the officers and soldiers left, they came out to build a house and "live" with the daughter-in-law they had robbed. In the next seven or eight years, women have completely become tools for childbearing, never stopping one a year, and the previous fifteen women who were used as venting toys are even more miserable, the babies they gave birth to are nameless and ownerless, and they must also feed them, and still play the role of "toys" from time to time.

So seven or eight years later, counting the children, there are already hundreds of people in the Daze Mountain Crotch Clan. The children were not allowed to go out of the mountains, but the resources in the mountains were scarce, and the thieves and men decided to control the population again, but their attitude towards women never changed, in fact, they themselves were very timid, afraid that what they did would be punished by God, they would often pay attention to the women's whispers, afraid that they would have bad intentions and sneak out and attract officials.

But there was still one person who ran out, that was the daughter of the Song family, the poor girl had experienced all these years of ruthless destruction, she was already as thin as firewood, her face was like a yellow flower, she was only twenty-three or four years old, and she had already given birth to eight children. The men didn't treat her as a human being, so they took care of her lightly, and the other people who were taken captive together, even their own mothers, were numb to live in reality, willing to live like pigs and dogs, but she still had hope, she ran as soon as she got out of the mountain, and she didn't know how far she ran before she saw people, and immediately fainted.

The daughter of the Song family brought angry officers and soldiers, and the villagers who had robbed their wives and daughters, and they rushed up the mountain to kill the thieves. However, the thieves have lived in Daze Mountain for many years, and have long been familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and they have evaded the pursuit again with the help of the steep terrain.

And the thieves also died six or seven, and only about twenty people remained, and the women and children starved to death in patches, and in the end only eight women and four children remained.

This time, the thieves will never go down the mountain, and the officers and soldiers have set up layers of checkpoints at the foot of the mountain, and even specially dispatched an army to be stationed here all the year round, just to prevent the thieves from appearing.

More than 20 thieves, relying on those eight poor women, more than ten years of hard work, turned the crotch tribe into hundreds of people, and when those children grew up, these beasts actually changed their daughters to marry each other, and finally lived a "normal life" of husband and wife.

In this way, this is the story of the first generation of the Crotch Clan, and it is also a deeply hateful past witnessed by Mu Ziyun and the old dryad.

The remaining thieves know that the outside has become a dead end, so they must not let people go out again, revealing their hiding place, so they pretend to be ghosts, instill absurd and ridiculous thoughts into the sensible children, and give them a reason not to go down the mountain, and these clean children will only obey and take it as true, at the same time, the thieves are still afraid of bad things for women, and because there are too few women, they set up an ironclad rule for women, that is, to serve men and inherit the family as their own responsibility, and not to go out without permission, They are not allowed to talk to each other, they are not allowed to laugh and have fun, and they are to be the wives of many men from time to time, and they must bear birth to children.

The origin of this family is not ugly and bizarre, but it is this mountain family founded by such beast-like thieves that has lasted for thousands of years.
