"Wow!"

Fang Rui did not hide it, wisps of clear light swirled around his body, and he fell on the crane.

Just a moment ago—

Poof!

Bai Sensen's knife, reflecting the bloody remnant sun, slashed down, and in an instant, scarlet more dazzling than the setting sun splattered out.

Under the glow of the fire in the village, the blood rose and fell into the blood of one side.

"Kill the good and take the risk?!"

Fang Rui looked at the heads of old and weak women and children on the ground, the older ones were gray-haired, and the younger ones were not as good as Fang Ling at the beginning of the crossing, and then looked at the more than a thousand stubborn armor soldiers, frowning deeply.

"The Liangzhou Heijiao military camp is Xiahou Xian, and he was ordered to suppress bandits, you are ...... Who is the man? Where did it come from? Why are you wearing a mask to hide it? ”

Xiahou Xianren was tall and big, wearing black armor, he originally wanted to call Fang Rui Daoren, but when he saw that the other party's five big and three thick were better than himself, he immediately changed his words.

Of course, he is not very good-tempered, if it weren't for Fang Rui's extraordinary appearance, he didn't seem to be easy to provoke, he wouldn't even talk this nonsense.

Behind.

More than 1,000 armor soldiers who were originally scattered gathered silently to form a military formation.

"Bandits? Why, then, did you come to the village? ”

Fang Rui asked with a sneer.

"There are all kinds of reasons, they involve secrets, and they have their own orders. What, you guys are going to be nosy? ”

Xiahou Xian said, without waiting for Fang Rui to answer, he had already decisively used the secret method of the military path to make the first move.

——The other party seems to be difficult to mess with, but he has more trust in his own military formation, and has the confidence to eliminate variables and complete the extermination.

"Kill!"

The killing aura rose, condensed into a black spear, and swept towards Fang Rui in a flash.

'Order, forbidden? The secret method of the soldiers? Sure enough, it's an elite soldier, but ...... That's even more damning. ’

Fang Rui's face became colder and colder.

This Black Jiaojun who was ordered to suppress the bandits, did not go to suppress the bandits, but only came to the village to slaughter, obviously not wanting to endure hardships and fearing damage.

As for the spear with condensed military energy?

He didn't need to make a move at all, and he was blocked by the roaring Black Eagle of the Three Hundred Tribulation Demons, condensing the military qi shield.

"An army of beasts? Could it be a demon Faye? You are...... Spirit?! ”

Xiahou Xian saw the Three Hundred Tribulation Demon Black Eagle, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he took out the gold medal from his arms to suppress the thief.

'All kinds of spells of the spirit master, the most restrained by luck and military arrays, whether you are the remnant of the ancient spirit master, or the spirit master of the imperial court, leave it for me today! ’

He sneered in his heart, and suddenly waved the thief golden order in his hand.

"Aang!"

The golden dragon of luck, which is invisible to ordinary people, soared, swallowing and exhaling military qi into a three-zhang black dragon, roaring at the black eagle of the three hundred tribulation demons, and the sound waves turned into translucent ripples and swept over.

But Fang Rui's demon robbery black eagle is the supernatural power of 'gathering beasts and birds', how can it be restrained by luck and military formation?

At this moment, nature is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Humph!"

Fang Rui suddenly let out a cold snort, which exploded like thunder.

In Xiahou Xian's unbelievable gaze, a cyan thunderbolt fell in the void, shattering the three-zhang black dragon that had manifested his luck and military qi, and the thief Jin Ling was counterattacked and shattered in an instant.

"Die for me!"

Fang Rui grabbed it again, and a large azure handprint appeared in the void, and he took a picture of Xiahou.

"Ahh

Xiahou Xian's eyes were round with anger, and he stimulated the military formation, and condensed with the thousands of troops behind him, but he was still shattered by the big hand and grabbed and carried out.

At this point, he was still struggling and shouting: "Bold, I am the Liangzhou state army, the heavenly soldier of the imperial court, you are so reckless, are you not afraid of disaster to your family?" ”

"If you can reverse life and death and resurrect them, I thank you!"

Fang Rui sneered, his eyes flickering, reflecting into Xiahou Xian's eyes, using the method of ecstasy to retrieve information.

"Huh? This Black Jiaojun was ordered to suppress bandits, and the target was the bandits in Qilian Liuzhai, but it was not as simple as killing good and risking merit, and it was also shouldered...... Hehe! ”

"There is no one in this army who does not deserve to die, and he should be killed!"

After Xiahou Xian was forcibly captured from the military formation, the adjutant of the Black Jiao Army was immediately replaced, and the whole army retreated in an orderly manner.

"Want to escape?!"

Fang Rui flicked his sleeves, and Ling Yuan turned into a hurricane and swept away, shattering the military formation, and then the three hundred tribulation demon black eagle let out a long cry and rushed down.

"Ahh

"It's a spirit!"

"Don't come here, go away!"

……

The so-called elite soldiers, under the claws of this group of demon robbers who are at least a product, are vulnerable, like pigs and dogs, and are bloodily slaughtered.

"That's a thousand people, you, you...... How can you do it?! Xiahou Xian looked at his subordinates, more than a thousand robes were slaughtered, and his eyes were about to split.

"Don't you know what you're going to do? Homicide? All I saw was a bunch of brutes in human skins! ”

Fang Rui looked down indifferently, like a god high above: "Do you know why I was measured, didn't destructive soul search for you, and turned you directly into a fool?" ”

"Why?" Xiahou Xian asked subconsciously, and a bad premonition was inexplicably born in his heart.

"Huh!"

Fang Rui didn't answer, but Ling Yuan squeezed his big hand, causing Xiahou's body to be shattered like a watermelon, and his soul was maintained by wisps of blue light.

Immediately.

He stretched out his hand, and in the blood tripod where the Black Jiaojun collected blood food, a rolling resentment erupted, turning into a series of hideous faces like ghosts, and rushed up at Xiahou's spirit.

"Give me my life!"

"Dead and dead!"

"Die!"

……

Xiahou's divine soul was directly bitten and eaten, and this kind of pain was definitely much more intense than the five horses splitting their bodies.

"I was wrong...... Kill me, kill me...... Someone will avenge me...... I curse you not to die well...... Ah, you're not human...... You're the devil......"

"Humble no, compared to you, I'm still far behind!"

Regardless of Xiahou's confession, begging for mercy, threatening, and cursing, Fang Rui was indifferent, his expression was indifferent, watching his soul completely disperse in the hideous screams.

……

A moment later, the Black Eagle of the Three Hundred Tribulation Demon was raging, and the slaughter of the more than 1,000 Black Jiao Army was completed.

Fang Rui left them outside and entered the village on his own.

As I saw, in the midst of a raging fire, the pale corpses of countless villagers were scattered all over the place, young and strong, old and weak, women and children, and the dazzling blood flowed.

"None of them lived...... Well?! ”

Fang Rui strolled, and suddenly came to a courtyard, waved his hand, and a little girl appeared in the thatch.

This was a girl in sackcloth, only six or seven years old, thin and small, with yellow hair, and when she saw Fang Rui, she shrank back in fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Fang Rui stepped forward, took the little girl's hand, and entered the room, where the bodies of a man and an old woman lay among the collapsed tables and chairs.

"Daddy! Grandmother! The little girl cried.

No response.

"They're dead."

"Alas!"

Fang Rui sighed, pinched the trick in his hand, and the bodies of the two flew out of the house and were buried in the soil, leaving some supplies behind, and turned to leave.

"Uncle!"

The little girl stretched out her hand, as if trying to keep it, but there was no response, only the boundless darkness outside flooded like a tide.

……

"Wow!"

Fang Rui sat on the back of the purple feather crane, and his heart was inexplicably irritable, as if something was blocking it.

He suddenly asked himself.

"I don't know, after I'm gone, that girl probably won't survive? Know! ”

"In my heart, do I want to care about that girl? Think! ”

"Then why didn't you care? I'm afraid I'm implicating her...... No, it's because I'm afraid that the other party will drag me down and affect my great freedom and freedom. ”

"But for me, it's obviously just a matter of arranging things for a family."

Fang Rui was stunned: "When did I become so indifferent?" ”

"Today, in order to reduce a little trouble, I can be indifferent to life and go against my heart; Then one day in the future, for the sake of Dao Guo, will you give up everything about people and forget your mother and third sister......

As he thought of this, his face changed in horror.

At the beginning, when Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan left, the pain was unforgettable; Later, when I think about it, I still have a dull pain; Later, it faded a little, and the number of times I remembered it became less and less......

"One day, will I forget my mother, my third sister, Ling'er, and Nannan? I'm turning to the indifferent, inhuman side?! ”

"Also, what I've been doing these days......"

Fang Rui reflected: "I am not tired of love, not ruthless, I seem to have fallen into some kind of paranoia, deliberately moving closer to it, but putting myself in some kind of barrier. ”

"If I go on like this, even if one day, I become a Dao Lord and stand above the heavens and all worlds, is that still me?"

"Fang Rui, Fang Rui, at this moment, do you dare to say that you have not forgotten your original intention?"

Fang Rui patted his head: "Wrong, I was wrong!" ”

"The state of mind of the great virtue of the ancients, or moving with the world, is not tired of encountering love; Or it can be both lofty and near......"

"That's their state of mind, not mine!"

Fang Rui muttered, his eyes gradually clearing: "If you don't deliberately do it, just go your own way." For me, within my ability, I want to do what I want. ”

"If you don't notice it, you will return; Return to the car to return to the road, and the line is not far away. ”

"Let's go, Purple Feather Crane, let's go back."

……

When he returned, the little girl was no longer in the hall, and Fang Rui found her in a dimly lit room inside.

Then.

The little girl curled up at one foot on the bed, hugged her legs, lowered her head and covered her eyes, making her already thin look even smaller, and holding a woman's coarse linen dress in her arms.

Perhaps hearing the movement, she opened her fingers to look at it, and there was surprise in her voice: "Uncle?!" ”

"It's me."

Fang Rui smiled and cast a small spell to soothe her mind, which immediately made her feel as if she was bathed in warm sunlight, and hummed softly, feeling closer.

"What's your name?"

"Xin Xue'er."

"Cher? It's a nice name. ”

"My mother said that when I was born, it snowed a lot, so I was called Xue'er......"

"That's right. I left just now, are you afraid? ”

"I ......"

Xin Xue'er thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and shook her head again: "I'm afraid, but my mother said, cover your eyes, you can't see it, and you're not afraid of anything." ”

"Can you tell me about your mother?"

Fang Rui noticed that Xin Xue'er mentioned her mother a lot of times, but she didn't mention the dead father and grandmother she saw before.

"Oh my mother!"

Xin Xueer's little face showed a look of memory: "Dad always scolds my mother for being stupid, and my mother laughs...... My grandmother always scolded me for losing money and goods, so fierce, and it hurt so much, my mother hugged me and told me, close your eyes, you can't see, you won't be afraid of anything. ”

"There is no harvest this year, I can't eat, my mother eats the least, and secretly gives it to me...... My mother went out to work for food, and once, people gave me a baked black potato, and came back with it in my arms, it was still hot and sweet...... Later, my mother fell ill and had no money, so she left...... Before my mother left, she said to me, Xue'er, you have to be good......"

You're going to be good!

This sentence is also what his mother once said!

Fang Rui raised his face and closed his eyes, and at this moment he burst into tears.

Obviously, when Fang Xue left, he didn't cry, but at this moment, for some reason, he couldn't help it.

Yes, many times, when my heart hurts a lot, but I can't cry, and when I think about it later, I cry so much.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine."

Fang Rui shook his head: "Thank you, you woke me up, let me remember some things, and retrieve some things." I owe you a favor, is there anything you want to do? ”

"Uncle, can my mother come back to life?"

"I can't."

Fang Rui was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to too, but I can't do it, let's change it!" ”

"Can I follow my uncle?" Xin Xue'er asked timidly.

"No, I can find you a good man, it will be better than following me."

"I want to follow my uncle."

"Follow me, there will be some danger, and you may be implicated, do you want to?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll accompany you on a ride until you can survive alone...... You can change your mind at any time during this process. ”

Fang Rui stretched out his hand.

Xin Xueer took her little hand and jumped off the bed, still holding her mother's old clothes tightly in her arms, very well-behaved, like a little kitten.

"Uncle, a ride, does it mean a period of time?"

"Yes."

"Why a ride?"

"Because, no one can accompany you forever, whether it is a father, a mother, or a partner, people will always grow up and grow old...... Learn to say goodbye, learn to endure loneliness......"

"Oh!"

Xin Xue'er nodded: "Uncle, I still don't understand ......"

One big and one small went out holding hands, and the last rays of light fell in the sunset, stretching the shadows of the two very long and long.

……

Crackling!

Bonfires burn.

Maybe Xin Xue'er was afraid that she was useless, and Fang Rui didn't want her; Or maybe it was because I used to do too much work at home, and I habitually rushed to light the fire.

Fang Rui sensed some of the little girl's thoughts and let her do it.

"When you used to be at home, did you cook too?"

"Yes, I stand on the bench and cook. Later, I cooked for my uncle, and I was very useful...... Also eat less. ”

Looking at it this way, it seems that Xin Xueer is taking care of him, this is a very sensible little girl.

"You come and bake it!"

Fang Rui took out the dough cake from the spirit ring, the spirit ring isolated the air, but he was not afraid of deterioration.

Speaking of which, when he is alone these days, he eats and drinks dew, swallows and breathes aura, and does not need to eat much.

After a while.

"Uncle, give it, it's baked!"

"How do you give it all to me?"

"At home, when I used to eat, it was my father, grandmother, mother, and finally me! Later, the harvest was not good, and I could not eat it. ”

"That's it!"

Fang Rui was silent and handed over a piece of bread.

Is this whole bread mine? Xin Xue'er asked unconvincedly, as if she was holding something very remarkable in her hand.

"Well, let's eat!"

"I'll eat half of it, no, a small half is enough...... I eat less. ”

"Eat."

"Oh, well, delicious, delicious." Xin Xue'er took a small bite, her eyes crooked happily, like a crescent moon.

When Fang Rui finished eating, most of the cake in Xin Xue'er's hand was left.

"Can't eat it?"

"No, I want to save it for tomorrow."

"Finish eating, tomorrow there will be tomorrow's food, tomorrow will eat meat."

"Eating meat? My family can't eat for the New Year! In the past, I also had a piece of bacon at home, and my grandmother said that she would eat it for my future brother......"

"And then?"

"Later, the meat went bad."

Fang Rui was silent again.

"Uncle, where is your family?"

"They...... He's dead. ”

Behind Fang Rui's calm tone, there was an indescribable heaviness.

With a flash of inspiration in his hand, he took out a painting scroll and slowly unfolded it, and under the starlight tonight, the woman in the painting smiled skillfully.

Boom!

Fang Rui untied the gourd and poured a sip of wine, the taste was very bitter, and there was a faint pain in a certain part of his heart.

That kind of pain is heavy, but it makes people extremely down-to-earth, and it can make people clearly feel that they are still alive.

At that time.

Beneath the sky, the moon is shining brightly, dotted with starlight, and the wilderness seems to be exactly the same as it was thousands of years ago.

But like this star, it wasn't last night.
