Chapter 6 The human heart is unpredictable
I didn't know how long I slept, and when I woke up at night, I saw my mother and Chen Xun sitting on the ground, not saying a word, surrounded by people sitting on the ground, and not making bonfires, so I sat quietly around a seemingly complete ancestral hall, and occasionally someone whispered, but I heard the old man scolding, so I stopped talking.
What are you waiting for?
Huang Zhiyu couldn't speak, so he turned his little head to look around, in the dark, the crane lamp in the book reed above his head was flourishing, the flame color turned from red to blue, two blue flames rushed into his eyes, under the flow of breath, his eyes could clearly see that this was an old ancestral hall, the ancestral hall space was very large, there were sixteen vermilion lacquer pillars standing in the center, and there were countless people sitting around him, some people had fallen asleep with their burdens, some people looked left and right in fear, and on the beams of the ancestral hall squatted dozens of martial arts people holding swords and swords, His eyes were staring at the movement in the ancestral hall.
Leng Xiu felt that the baby was awake, so he picked him up and hid him in his arms, lowered his voice and said to Chen Xun at his side:
"Brother Xun, your medicine works?"
"Well, just sprinkle it around for a while, don't make a medicine circle."
"Hmm."
I don't know what they are talking about, Huang Zhiyu only felt bored, looked towards the gate of the ancestral hall, and saw through the gate of the ancestral hall under the two blue lights, but saw that a dim dim light outside was rapidly approaching this side in a zigzag shape from a distance.
"Sprinkle the medicine!"
Chen Xun shouted in a low voice, Leng Xiu immediately pinched the gourd wax seal in his hand, sprinkled it in front of him, and a large mouth of blood poked in from outside the door, and a mouth of fangs glowed silvery-white under the reflection of the moonlight outside the hole.
"Get off the net!"
I only heard a person shouting in mid-air, dozens of fire folds were polished, and the light of the torches illuminated the small ancestral hall like a white sun, only to see that under the ancestral hall and above the beam, dozens of warriors each held swords, guns, swords, halberds, and looked at the huge snake head that drilled into the big hole.
Xihuang python, snake body like a cow, infinite strength, difficult to enter, it is rumored that Xihuang is the heir of the second-grade demon beast demon snake Ji Qian, survive for more than a hundred years can be turned into a human form, this python is fat, the head is as big as a heavy truck, it is estimated that there is no one hundred and eighty or ninety years, it brutally drilled into the ancestral hall, and rushed to Chen Xun and Leng Xiu who stood in the center, and the people who were panicked were squeezed away by the python and flew away, in Xihuang's sight, the flesh and blood of the room were not as good as the blue light points wrapped in the flesh and blood in the middle.
Leng Xiu hurriedly hugged Huang Zhiyu, closed his eyes and lowered his head, Chen Xun also hugged her, turned his back to the python, the python rushed to the front, and paused, a fierce breath of poisonous dragon grass came from the person's body, like a lump of Xiang mixed in the meal, the python turned his head in disgust, let them go, and bit a fat businessman who was scared to pee next to him, seven inches and a bulge, his mouth was wide open, and he swallowed the howling businessman into his stomach as soon as he sucked.
Looking at the human-shaped bag bulging from the snake's belly, a large net fell from the sky, hugged the snake's head, eight warriors jumped down, each pinched a corner, eight four-finger-thick iron nails pierced into the ground, and the hammer in his hand was repeatedly struck, and the corner of the net was nailed to the ground in three or two strokes.
The head of the snake was controlled, the yellow python could not break free, Na Luo pulled out the sword in his left hand without injury, the sword reflected a green light in the firelight, I saw him jump down from mid-air, his body was extremely elegant, like stepping on goose feathers, his body was like catkins, and he made a sword flower in mid-air lightly, and took a scale on the seven inches of the python.
"Luoshui Sword Technique (Disabled) obtained."
"Python step (mutilated) obtained."
After two prompts, two cheats of most of the white paper appeared in the book reed above Huang Zhiyu's head, the cheats were piled on top of the reddish-brown desk, the blue flames in the crane lamp soared a foot high, and countless black handwriting was floating out of Na Luo Wuxian's body, and was constantly introduced into the books on the desk by the flickering flames.
Huang Zhiyu hurriedly opened his eyes wide, deep space missed Na Luo's unharmed movements, he looked over Leng Xiu's shoulder, but heard someone shouting "Be careful!" After a loud bang, the mud wall of the front door of the ancestral hall collapsed, and the snake's tail swept over the wall and whipped sideways like a whip.
"Senior Brother Luo!"
"Xiao Luo!"
"Senior Brother Luo!"
"Luo Daxia!"
There are the shouts of the girl, the shouts of the big man, the shouts of the old man, the snake tail swept over the three men, the sturdy three men couldn't even shout for help, so they turned over like a sharp blade, broken into two, the stomach and liver spilled on the ground, and the blade in the hand was also shattered into pieces.
Chen Xun saw the edge of the snake's tail, hurriedly picked up Leng Xiu's legs and ran, retreated to the back of the niche cage in the ancestral hall, poked his head to look, and saw that Na Luo's uninjured left hand Qingfeng pierced the first seven inches of the python, and the python immediately trembled for a while, and the snake-tailed snake body swept away in the ancestral hall like a wild dance, and all of them died.
"Evil beast!"
A girl in a flower dress was swept by the snake body, half of her head flew out, and her body collapsed to the ground softly, Luo Wuxian heard the girl's scream, his heart was shocked, and he shouted, his right hand was raised, and he was slapped on the hilt of the sword, and the sword was like an iron nail that drilled through the python seven inches, leaving only the hilt.
The python was nailed to the ground of the ancestral hall by the sword, more and more unable to break free, but also ferocious, the tail danced like a roulette, sweeping away the surrounding warriors, there was only one old man left in the ancestral hall, a big man flew back to the roof beam, the two of them touched the waist pocket, the starlight in their hands flashed, and countless hidden weapons were thrown out by them to hit the snake.
"Starry Sky (Broken) Acquisition."
But listening to the sound of gold and iron, sparks splashing, it seems that it did not cause any actual damage to the python, but aroused the ferocity of the python, the snake's tail unfolded, swept down the mud wall, and the old ancestral hall immediately collapsed in half.
Seeing that the python was still struggling, the old man on the roof beam took out the sword on his waist and shouted "Xiao Luo", threw it at Luo Wuxian, Luo Wuxian took the sword, volleyed up, rolled down, and the sword in his hand was cut at the head of the snake.
The steam on the top of Luo Wuxian's head was steaming like a steamed bun boiling in a pot, he jumped up again with both hands, held his sword and slashed down, the old man and the big man on the roof beam were shocked, but he didn't speak, only to see the snake tail sweep Luo Wuxian's back at a strange angle, and remove Luo Wuxian's left hand with a stab.
Luo Wushu was swept to the ground by the snake's tail, looked at the left hand that fell to the ground in front of him with a shocked expression, and got up in disbelief to pick up his famous left arm, the old man and the big man on the roof beam glanced at each other, and while he was distracted, one person and one dart were thrown at his back.
"Ruthless Luo Shui Jue (mutilated) obtained."
"Soul Seeker Dart (Broken)."
"How did they ....."
Looking at what they were doing, Leng Xiu said in horror, Chen Xun hurriedly covered her mouth, leaned into her ear and said:
"Don't make a sound, and follow me, we see things we shouldn't see, leave early and get out early."
Leng Xiu was shocked, it turned out that he had seen the legendary murder and treasure grabbing, and there was always some gossip in the circle of commoner ladies in Xuzhou, especially the dirty things between those enviable martial artists were even more sought after.
This murder and treasure grabbing has always been to clear the scene and slaughter the witnesses, Leng Xiu was horrified, and hurriedly followed Chen Xun to squeeze a way out of the crowded crowd, and squeezed into the pile of people hiding in the backyard of the ancestral hall, Chen Xun was also terrified in his heart, the left hand of Jianluo was unharmed, the leader of the three generations of the Yongluo faction, the head of the eight sons of Yongluo, and the eighteenth young man on the Yongzhou Tiandiren Spectrum, was he actually killed like this?
It's not good, this old man and the big man will definitely kill all the people here, lest anyone reveal the secret that they killed Luo Wuxian in order to seize the Yellow Snake Guts!
As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way, Chen Xun silently led Leng Xiu to squeeze through the crowd, dragged Leng Xiu up and let her over the wall, and the businessman over there saw them over the wall, and hurriedly asked:
"Where are you going?"
"Xi Huang can't control it, so naturally he escapes!"
"Ahh Running away late at night, aren't you afraid of encountering monsters on the road? ”
Chen Xun had already turned over, and shouted without looking back:
"One is close at hand, those are far away in the sky, do you say you won't escape?"
When everyone in the backyard heard this truth, they immediately packed up their belongings and walked over the wall. Chen Xun and Leng Xiu went around to the side of the courtyard, found the caravan's horses, untied the reins and rode one, and then rode the horses and fled westward.
Escaped for two hours, the night was deep, there were traces of demon beasts on the road from time to time, the horses and horses trembled, several times wanted to take the road and escape, Chen Xun could only ruthlessly take out a porcelain bottle from his waist, poured a few pills of madness into the horse's mouth, the horse's eyes were bloodshot, and he ran wildly, and then ran out of five miles in fear along Chen Xun's guidance, and ran out in fright, and saw a small castle built of civil forts in front of him, the size was no more than three households, a red lantern was hung in front of the fort, and the word happiness was pasted on the door, it seemed that there was a great joy in getting married.
Chen Xun hurriedly dismounted, desperately grabbed the reins, and waited until Leng Xiu dismounted with Huang Zhiyu in his arms, and then let go of the reins, and the horse shook off the three of them and ran frantically towards the farther and darker road ahead.
"Two taels of silver will be offered, and please give it a convenience to the master, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!"
After knocking a few times and seeing that no one answered inside, Chen Xun also had the courage to shout in front of the fort gate, the ghosts around him were longing, who knows when one or two demon beasts will rush out, there was no movement at first, and after a while and a half, the door opened a crack, and someone inside whispered:
"Really?"
"Don't dare to deceive, those who are in distress, just ask for one night."
"Come in."
The door opened, the two entered, only to see a dim lantern at the door, an old man holding a firewood knife, behind the lead of four strong laborers, each holding an iron fork, flat shoulder, afraid that it was a strong man who came in, after seeing him and Leng Xiu's appearance, the old man put half of his heart, how could there be a strong man out to do business and drag the family with his mouth, so he closed the fort door, put on the door latch with the thickness of the arm, and put on three top door bars.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Why are you in a hurry late at night?"
The old man was only half relieved, but he didn't put down the firewood knife, Chen Xun hurriedly offered two or two taels of ingots, and said with a frightened face:
"There is a yellow python in the back, there are people who are killing, we only care about running for our lives, and we dare not stay for a long time."
The old man was startled, and his hands trembled a little, but he still took the silver and whispered:
"You're a good life, Xihuang python, a monster that eats three people in one bite!"
A few estimates are the strong labor of the nephews and nephews, and they are also embarrassed, Xihuang Python, the legendary monster beast in Yongzhou, the top fifty monsters on the local beast list, the reward of 30,000 taels of silver, the inner guts are calculated according to the size, and the end of the storyteller in the tea shop in the town must be popularized in accordance with the will of the imperial court.
"Who's to say it's not, there are two fat people with my thickness, and they will be swallowed in one bite."
Chen Xun stretched out his hand and gestured, with a cunning face, Huang Zhiyu scored a full score in his heart, what is this Chen Xun really acting like.
"Don't say it, don't sleep for another night, come with me, you can be wronged in the firewood room for one night, prepare some dry food for you tomorrow, and then go on the road with breakfast."
"Thank you, uncle, I don't know my father-in-law's surname?"
"I don't dare to be surnamed Gao, it's just an old farmer in Nanhu Fort, please come here."
Huang Zhiyu lay on his mother and went to the firewood house, but when he passed by the stable, he saw that there were four big horses, two oxen, and a snail inside.
But he didn't know that since Emperor Wei Zongwu wantonly slaughtered the people, caused anger and resentment, and God punished him, after the demon beasts were released, except for the well-defended people in the state capitals, counties and towns, and the relatively safe areas often walked and took sedan chairs, the people in other places were all transported by horses, donkeys, mules, oxen, camels, etc.
It's not that life is rich, in fact, it is forced to do so, twelve hours a day, night and day are half open, the vast majority of demon beasts are day and night, leaving people not much time, agriculture and industry have to work for half a day, if you waste some time on the road, it is really a hundred industries to be wasted, everything is resting.
The government distributed cattle to farmers and merchants, which meant that everyone could seize the precious time of the day, and even ordinary farmers would use inferior horses and snails and donkeys for agricultural purposes, provided that you had to pay taxes.
As long as you pay taxes, you are a good farmer of the Han Dynasty, if you pay too much, the government will also help you build forts, canals, and roads.
The state capitals, counties and towns have more special livestock officials, all of whom are called farmers and merchants, and their grades are compared with the local leaders, specializing in breeding, and each farm is equipped with heavy soldiers and good hands of six doors to take care of them, and these yamen have become the key to seizing half a day's time from the mouth of the demon beast.
Huang Zhiyu is lying on his mother's body, the repair time has been decreasing in recent days, people say that babies are the best at sleeping, and they have to sleep most of the day when they are born, but Huang Zhiyu is restless, the blue flames in the book reed continue to circulate in various acupuncture points in his body, and the whole body seems to have endless strength and nowhere to vent, but even so, as a baby, how can you have a baby appearance, if you are a small ghost, you can still get the title of a prodigy in peacetime, now, God knows if you will be slaughtered and drunk.
The world is too dangerous, I'd better be a cute child.
In the firewood room, Chen Xun found some hay to spread in the corner, and the main family brought two clean bedding and wrapped them in it, which was also warm.
Leng Xiu's maternal love for Huang Zhiyu can be personally experienced, and Chen Xun, after getting along with each other during this time, he can only be regarded as treating their mother and son well, who knows if this person who seems to be determined to be a stepfather will suddenly change his mind.
Huang Zhiyu was lying on Leng Xiu's body, feeling the warmth brought by his mother, his ears were the sound of the night wind whistling outside the window of the firewood room, his night vision was extraordinary, he could clearly see every corner of this firewood room, looked sideways, but saw Chen Xun nesting on the side, but it was a fake sleep, his eyelids trembled, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hands were rolled up in his sleeves, I don't know what to do.
