Chapter 126: The First Appearance of the Charm

Ghost hitting the wall?

If it had been changed a few years ago, when it was still in the Great Zhou, Chen An would have scoffed at this. But now it makes him uncertain in his heart, in this world, demons and monsters are real, and he has seen them with his own eyes.

Silent, Chen An'an felt the flow of the sea of vitality, but he couldn't find a trace of abnormality, and he felt that something was in trouble. Just sit down, conserve your strength, and be vigilant around. Fortunately, there is moonlight, the surrounding light is not dim, and the field of vision is quite wide, so you don't have to worry about being raided.

Huh?

He looked up at the moon, and the bright moon was dyed with a pale red halo at some point, dreamy and bewitching. And the red color is still slowly deepening, turning to a crimson blood. Chen An was firmly attracted and couldn't extricate himself, until he realized it, he slowly lowered his gaze and turned to the side.

I don't know when there was a person standing there, he was dressed in a blood-red robe without wind, and his long black hair hung down to his waist, just standing with his back to Chen An.

This strange picture, even Chen An, who has been in battle for a long time, can't help but feel numb on his scalp, and his heart seems to be clenched fiercely. He suddenly ejected from the ground, his muscles tense, ready to exert his strength at any moment. That figure, who didn't seem to have the slightest awareness of Chen An's actions, still stood with his back to him.

confronted that back like this, until a long time, so long that Chen An's patience was also a little unbearable irritability.

Chen An is experienced in fighting people, and he knows that if he continues like this, his peak state will decline, and in desperation, he began to slowly approach the figure, hoping that the other party can reveal his flaws under the pressure step by step.

He walked all the way to the side of the figure, and the other party didn't make any other movements, just stood quietly, as if it had remained unchanged for eternity.

Chen An's posture of defending the shelf remained unchanged, and he boldly looked at the other party's face, where a few strands of hair hung down, covering the whole picture, and he couldn't see clearly in a hazy way. Just when he wanted to take a few more steps forward and distinguish carefully, the other party finally made a move, and turned his neck stiffly to look at Chen An.

Chen An was startled, and under the traction of the qi machine around his body, he was almost about to be stressed. But before he could make a move, a faint voice came into his ears.

"Go to Donglai and save the people. ”

"What?" Chen An was stunned, completely unclear, but as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, there was a change of light and shadow in front of him, and there was still the shadow of the man in red.

The milky white moonlight fell like a tassel and poured on him, and the mountain wind of the hunt constantly stirred the corners of his clothes with snow foam, all of which seemed to remind him that the blood moon charm just now was nothing but a dream.

But it's so real.

It's not because of the demons in his heart, Chen An has regained his ability to think, but this is what he mutters in his heart.

It stands to reason that his cultivation of the Nine Divine Senses is still there, suppressing all distracting thoughts, and it is impossible for there to be demons in his heart, but he has experienced ups and downs in the first half of his life, he has a lack of soul, and his practice is too radical, so it is difficult to ensure that there is a hidden danger of missing something.

After thinking about it again and again, he couldn't figure it out at all, so he had no choice but to put it down first, carry the prey and backpack, and continue the previous journey home.

This time, the road was smooth, and nothing unusual happened, and the faint outline of the mountain could be seen when you turned over the last mountain. Chen Anxin relaxed, but looking at the moonlight from afar, it was late at night, although it was a fantasy just now, but he delayed himself a lot of time, thinking that Xiaoguang was still waiting for him to go home and cook, Chen An couldn't help but feel like an arrow for a while, and his feet sped up a few points.

Gradually, the whole picture of Pingze Ditch appeared in front of Chen An's eyes, but the more he looked, the more Chen An felt that something was wrong, until he approached the place where he could see clearly, Chen An's heart suddenly tightened. Where is this still the Pyeongtaek ditch when he left in the afternoon?

What caught my eye was a scorched earth of ruins, miserable and miserable, as if there were no half living people.

Chen An took a breath, feeling that he might still be in the dream of the demon just now, and he was not detached.

When I walked through the wooden fence of the mountain pass, there were only a few broken trees left, and there was a lot of green smoke in the charred black.

Out of the mountain pass, the first place is Chen An's residence, which is especially serious here, and there is almost nothing left. Chen An unconsciously rummaged for a while, and then walked towards the village, the home of Second Uncle Wang and Fourth Uncle Wen...... Including the Shen family's old house, all of them were burned down. Passing by, in addition to the ruins and wreckage, you can also see a few charred corpses from time to time.

More than 130 people in Pingzegou were slaughtered.

Chen An was in a trance, and he couldn't believe all this at all. I can't believe that all the neighbors who were close to me yesterday are dead, and only a pile of ashes remains.

In the past, Chen An'an was ruthless, and it was not that he had never done anything to slaughter the village and destroy the family, but slaughtering others and being slaughtered by others were two very different feelings.

He is emotionally weak, but in the face of the death of all the people he has lived with for three years, he can't accept this terrible thing at all.

He walked among the wreckage, his thoughts in turmoil.

Among these people, Uncle Wen has helped him the most, he has long treated him as a relative, the braised pork made by Aunt Wen has always been his and Xiaoguang's favorite, and their child Xiaoyu, who is not yet ten years old, follows Xiaoguang's ass all day long. The second uncle Wang of the next door often takes his ox cart into the city, he never says his name to himself, only lets him call him the second uncle, but he actually knows that his name is Wang Ergou...... There is also the steward of the Shen family's old house, who is arrogant to the villagers and feels superior, but he is respectful to himself.

The people here, the things here, he is like a treasure, he feels that he can live here for a lifetime, just like Aunt Wen said, wait for another two years to tell him a daughter-in-law, let him take root here.

It's a pity that now everything is gone.

Chen An also repented of the uncalculated killings he had done in the Great Zhou in the past, but he didn't want the retribution to come so quickly.

Murderers, people always kill them, he understands this truth, but it would be good to repay himself, why is it always the people around him, Ning'er's death, Lu Wen's betrayal, and the serious injury of the whisper...... One by one, one by one, he almost suffocated.

Xiaoguang, yes, and Xiaoguang, Chen An seemed to wake up suddenly, turned around and ran back to his house, constantly pulling in the ruins, turning the entire wreckage upside down, and did not find Xiaoguang's corpse.

Xiaoguang was still alive, and Chen Anxin had a little hope.

At this time, under the powerful mental adjustment, he had regained his senses, and carefully recalled the cause and effect after he came here.

Killing people and burning villages is obviously not the work of demons and monsters, it is man-made. I am a foreigner, and the cause and effect with the Wang family have long been over, and there is still a good fate, it will definitely not be like this, and the villagers of Pingzegou have no quarrel with the world, and it is impossible to cause this disaster of destroying the village......

It was Xiaoguang, a trace of essence flashed in Chen An's eyes, and the other party was coming for Xiaoguang. When he picked up Xiaoguang, even though his clothes were tattered, it was difficult to hide his luxurious color, and when he grew up, he had red lips and white teeth, and delicate skin, which was completely different from the rough man who lived in the bitter cold land in the north all the year round. In Chen An's eyes, his behavior and habits are also more tired, similar to those young masters and sons who have been cultivated since childhood.

Therefore, Chen An had already judged that Xiaoguang was a failure of the family's struggle for power and profit, and all this in front of him seemed to prove this.

But Xiaoguang has been living in a ravine, how did he leak the news?

It was the Shen family, Chen An quickly had an answer, and his mind flashed through the last time he took Xiaoguang to Xiaotao's wedding. It was his own carelessness, he had noticed it early in the morning, Chen An was annoyed for a while, but he knew that now was not the time to meditate on his own mistakes, and the top priority was to save Xiaoguang.

There is no Xiaoguang's body here, which means that the other party has received the task of not killing people, but taking Xiaoguang away. Therefore, Chen An has reason to believe that Xiaoguang is now in their hands, and his life will not be in danger for the time being, and looking at the situation at the scene, they have just left for about an hour or two at most, and they can catch up.

After thinking about it, Chen An began to investigate the clues left here, and followed the traces towards the outside of Pingze Ditch.

He used to be a secret agent, and he also worked as a scout before the army, and it was an old job to trace and explore, but unfortunately the pampering in the past few years and the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the past few years have made his craft too wasted. But fortunately, the other party is not a professional, and he didn't expect anyone to dare to follow him, so he didn't hide the traces of his walking. was chased by Chen An for forty or fifty miles.

During this period, Chen An didn't think about making a detour to the Shen family to see, Pingzegou was wiped out, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Shen family would not encounter accidents, but Xiaoguang's affairs were more urgent, so he couldn't afford to delay.

Shen's family is in the county seat, and the deterrence of the Daqian court is still there, unlike Pingzegou in the inaccessible poor ravine, if you want to destroy the door, you can destroy the door, since the other party has extinguished the mouth, he should not want to make a big deal. Besides, by now, what should have happened had already happened, and even if he hurried there, it would be useless.

Therefore, Chen An followed it wholeheartedly and no longer considered anything else.

After a day and night, he finally caught up with the other party and met the main master.

It was a six-person squad, dressed differently, not like a domestic servant raised by a wealthy family, but it can't be overturned, because the big Qianhao clan is within the imperial court system, and they are still law-abiding gentry on the surface, but the horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, and people don't have windfalls and don't get rich. These people are all black households, with countless criminal records in their hands, and they are much more fierce and even unscrupulous than those family subordinates who decorate the façade.

So in order not to startle the snake and threaten Xiaoguang's safety, Chen An did not act rashly, but just followed and observed. It was just this observation that he found that Xiaoguang was not in the hands of these people.

This discovery almost made Chen An crazy, but he could only continue to lurk and probe patiently, because they were the last clue.
