Jingyuan Empire, 11 years of Longan, ten miles outside Yingzhou City, Fengjiazhuang.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the huge courtyard was already a sea of fire, and the wails were endless.

The fire connected and completely engulfed the entire farmyard. The wooden doors, windows, beams and pillars were burned to the "crackling" sound, the roof tiles were scattered from time to time, and some houses had even begun to collapse. The people crushed under the rubble howled miserably, but they were destined to be burned alive, and even the heavy snow could not save them.

From time to time, there was the sound of swords grinding against their bones through their skin, the tearing of women's robes, and their screams and pleadings.

The killing is happening without stopping. Someone is crying; Someone is cursing; Someone is pleading; There are people who resist, but each of the slaughtered has no chance of escaping, and all that awaits them is death and the humiliation that is more painful than death.

The blood splattered everywhere steamed, quickly melting the snow that had just fallen on the ground, and then slowly condensed into ice......

It's like Shura's hell here and now!

"Spare my family......!" The man on his knees pleaded, his voice hoarse and desperate.

"Humph!" The black-robed man's answer was full of coldness and disdain.

"Oops——! What are you talking about? We're just here to get that thing back, as long as you hand it over to us, Lord Feng, where can we talk about letting it go? A shrill voice came from behind the black-robed man, followed by a gorgeously dressed man with a pale face and gloomy eyes.

This person walked up to Feng Changlin step by step, "I said Lord Feng, we don't want to make things happen to this point, you take out the things early, and we all save trouble." ”

"Father-in-law Gao, the lower official has resigned and returned to his hometown for many years, and I really don't know the whereabouts of the thing you said, let alone how this thing is in the hands of the lower official, and I beg my father-in-law to raise his noble hand and let my family go......"

"Enough! The miscellaneous family can come to you today to have definite news, Lord Feng, don't see the coffin and not cry! Without waiting for Feng Changlin to finish speaking, this senior father-in-law shouted loudly.

"Do you pay or not?" The black-robed man didn't seem to have much patience. Seeing that Feng Changlin didn't react, his arm was lightly raised, and Feng Changlin pressed the five fingers of his sturdy man who were originally clasped on his throat and added a little more force.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... "The throat that was already painful before the wind came was even more speechless at the moment.

Seeing this, Gao Gonggong said: "We don't have much patience to go around in circles with you, today you will either hand over your things, or the whole village will give you a funeral." ”

Feng Changlin closed his eyes and shook his head in pain, and didn't say anything more. He knew that today's Feng family would probably not be able to escape this catastrophe.

"Humph!" The black-robed man snorted coldly again, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing the black-robed man leaving, Gonggong Gao shook his head and said to Feng Changlin: "Feng Changlin, you were also a waiter in the fourth grade of the official residence back then, why are you so ignorant of current affairs?" If you hand it over at this moment, you can still save the next family, if you are still obsessed, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Feng Changlin slowly opened his eyes, looked straight at Gao Gong and said openly: "In the life of a lower official, he is worthy of the court as an official, and he does not treat the township badly for the people, and he does not dare to be greedy for anything." Gao Cai! Today, you are so hard to force each other, Feng can only take the Feng family to Huangquan together, in order to repay the kindness of the first emperor and the saint, and when the truth is revealed to the world in the future, I can also smile at Jiuquan. ”

With that, Feng Changlin let out a bitter laugh.

After listening to Feng Changlin's words, Gao Gonggong's face sank, "Since you are so ignorant of advance and retreat, it's just that!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, and at the same time raised his hand and waved his sleeve, "Kill it!" ”

Click......

With the sound of broken bones and tendons, Feng Changlin fell to the ground, his eyes still looking at the hellish situation in the courtyard, unable to look at it.

So far, he has served two generations of monarchs, the official to the four grades of the Ministry of Rites, won the emperor's trust Feng Changlin, six years after his resignation and return to his hometown, and his whole family, men, women and children, slaves and maids 68 all died, none of them were spared......

Wrong! There is one! No! It's two! There are two people who survived this catastrophe, that is, Feng Yuyan, the young master of the Feng family, and an old servant in the firewood room.

Speaking of which, when the incident happened, the old Wu of the firewood house was taking the little young master Feng Yuyan to catch turtledoves in the field two miles away.

The method is very simple, only a piece of fine hemp rope and some branches can be made into a trap, Lao Wu found some other tools, this old and young want to take advantage of the heavy snow when the turtle dove is not good to catch a few more.

After some busy work, a lot of traps were laid nearby, and the two of them found a dirt pit to squat in it to avoid the wind, and by the way, Lao Wu Zaiyun Mountain fog shrouded Feng Yuyan to blow the glorious story of walking the rivers and lakes when he was young.

Six-year-old Feng Yuyan is the palm meat of the Feng family.

Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Feng Changlin were in their early forties, but there were no children in the family, until seven years ago, Mrs. Feng went to Jingci Nunnery outside Daliang City in Kyoto to make a big wish, and found out that she was pregnant not long after she returned. According to the original wish, the Feng family donated a large amount of incense money to Jingci Nunnery, and sent Mrs. Feng to the nunnery to raise the baby, and the couple came back with a son in the next year.

Since he had this son, Feng Changlin resigned from Kyoto and returned to his hometown without asking about the world, and took care of the Feng family's industry in Yingzhou with peace of mind. Although the child is a little weak, fortunately, the husband and wife and the old lady of the Feng family love this child very much, so the Feng family treats him as a baby.

It is also strange to say that Feng Changlin never let the maids and old women at home come to bring his son, but let Lao Wu of the firewood house run around with his son every day. This old Wu has followed the wind for many years, but he is also a trustworthy person.

Although Feng Yuyan's body is a little weak, his brain is very flexible. I started to learn calligraphy at the age of five, and I can read and write and transcribe like an adult in a year, and even Mr. Teach said that this doll may be a champion in the future, and Feng Changlin heard this, but a complicated look flashed on his face.

The most comforting thing is that Feng Yuyan has been playing with Lao Wu in the past few years, although his body is not very strong, he has not had any serious illness. Therefore, the wind is always coming, and this old and young run out every day to mess around.

At this moment, Feng Yuyan was holding Lao Wu's shoulder and asked, "Old Wu! Old Wu! Last time, you said that the world's best martial arts are divided into nine grades, is that the first grade meets the second grade, and it can't be beaten? Can the third-grade beat the second-grade? ”

"Who said that? The difficulty of martial arts exercises is different and the cultivation methods are different, how can it be measured by a unified standard? Saying that martial arts are divided into nine grades is just for a single exercise, two different exercises, different cultivation methods and difficulties, and the effects of cultivation are naturally different. Therefore, it is possible for the first product to defeat the second product, and the second product may also defeat the third product. Lao Wu rolled his eyes.

"Can the third-grade defeat the fourth-grade?" Feng Yuyan asked curiously.

Lao Wu smiled and said, "That's different!" Every three grades of martial arts are a realm, one to three is a realm, four to six is a realm, seven to nine is a realm, and there is a supreme grade above the nine grades.

"After martial arts enter a product, a sea of qi will appear in the body, and enter the 'condensation realm', the improvement of the grade is actually the improvement of the sea of qi, which is divided into nine levels, and the use of exercises in the future depends on the vitality provided in the sea of qi.

"When you are in the second rank, you can release your vitality, and you will also cultivate a qi shield to protect yourself, and the qi shield will become more and more solid as your level increases.

"When the three products are in the body, the vitality can be detached, forming a lethal form, such as sword qi, sword gang, etc.

"And when cultivating to the fourth grade, there is also the ability to control foreign objects in the air, and there are some sect exercises that can advance this realm, for example, the disciples of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong can control foreign objects in the air when they are in the third grade, so the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is unparalleled in the world, and this realm is called the 'Imperial Qi Realm'.

"When you cultivate to the seventh grade, you can control all things in nature, mountains, rocks, soil, flowing water, air, etc. can all be turned into weapons, and the form you transform is related to the exercises, which is the 'Qi Transformation Realm'.

"As for the supreme quality, it has reached the 'Returning Yuan Realm', which is a god-like existence. Therefore, the main thing in the martial arts comparison is what kind of realm the cultivation has reached. ”

"Has anyone cultivated to the supreme level?" Feng Yuyan asked with wide eyes.

"Legend has it that the founding emperor of our Jingyuan Empire cultivated to the supreme level, thus sweeping the world and establishing this huge empire." Speaking of this, Lao Wu's eyes were full of infinite reverence and yearning.

"Are there many people who have cultivated to the ninth grade?" Feng Yuyan is a six-year-old child after all.

Lao Wu pampered him on the head and said, "Do you think it's the radish greens in the ground?" There are very few people who can cultivate to the ninth grade, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people. Even those who have cultivated to the seventh and eighth grades are rare masters, and there are not many who can cultivate to the fifth and sixth grades, and the vast majority of people can only cultivate to the third grade and then cannot progress. ”

"That——! Lao Wu, what kind of product are you? Feng Yuyan asked while pulling Lao Wu's beard.

"Me? My ability cannot be measured by the product rank. Lao Wu said mysteriously.

"Aren't you supreme?"

"Hahahaha! Supreme? Do you look like me? ”

"Like!"

"Hahahaha! If I were the best, I wouldn't be chopping wood in your house. ”

When the old man and the young were chatting energetically, there was a "gurgling" cry not far away.

"Hey, hey! There is a harvest. Walk! Let's see how many are caught? After Lao Wu finished speaking, he pulled Feng Yuyan and climbed out of the pit and ran towards the source of the sound.

"Ouch! Not bad! I caught more than a dozen of them before and after, which is enough for our two to roast them today to satisfy their hunger. Lao Wu picked the prey from the trap while turning back and grimacing at Feng Yuyan.

At this time, Feng Yuyan pointed to the thick smoke in the distance in the southeast and asked Lao Wu: "Old Wu, look! Is that our home? It looks like it's baking something too! ”

Lao Wu glanced to the southeast and couldn't help frowning.

"Where's this baking stuff? It was clear that the house was on fire, and the flickering of fire in the sky could be faintly seen. Lao Wu secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

"Let's go, let's go back and have a look." Lao Wu hung the prey on his waist, pulled Feng Yuyan and ran in the direction of the Feng family.

"It's been six years, are they still looking for it?" Lao Wu was running while guessing what was happening to the Feng family, and he secretly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

At the same time, the Feng family has been slaughtered.

Outside the Fengjia Courtyard.

Seeing the Fengjia Zhuangyuan disappear into the raging fire, the black-robed man didn't say a word, and the tall and tall father-in-law standing behind him glanced at the sturdy man beside him and asked, "Did you find the thing?" ”

The man shook his head.

"What about people? Cleaned up? As if sensing something from the black-robed man's back, Gao Cai hurriedly asked again in his sharp voice.

"Sixty-six, two less." The strong man said in a low voice.

"What? Which two are missing? Gao Cai's voice became more and more sharp and harsh.

The sturdy man hurriedly replied, "It should be a servant and the little young master of the Feng family." ”

The black-robed man shook off the snow on his robe and whispered, "Find." ”

Gao Cai hurriedly responded, "Yes." He turned to the lower level and commanded, "Within a radius of five miles, no!" Within a radius of ten miles, even if you turn over the ground, you have to turn these two people out for me. ”

The sturdy man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went down to arrange manpower after bowing down and saying yes.

The black-robed man was silent, and he couldn't see the expression under his cloak. After standing for a moment, he turned and walked to his mount. It was a tall, long, black-haired horse with white hair on its four hooves, which was the legendary snow-stepping black horse.

The black-robed man sat on his horse and glanced at Fengjiazhuang in the fire again, and then looked around. Just as he was about to leave, he saw two figures, one large and one small, in the northwest, and he did not speak, but raised his hand and pointed in that direction. Gao Cai looked in the direction of his finger, and also noticed the two figures, so he shouted: "Someone!" Go over and see who those two people are, and if they are from the Feng family, they will bring them over. ”

The men immediately bowed down and clenched their fists, turned around and ran towards the two figures in the northwest.

The two figures, one big and one small, were Lao Wu and Feng Yuyan who was held in his hands. At this time, the two of them were also looking in the direction of Fengjiazhuang, and when they saw the sky-high fire and the crowd outside the village, Lao Wu shouted in his heart.

Lao Wu knew that the other party was not good, and was about to pull Feng Yuyan away, but found that Feng Yuyan was standing in place at this time, looking straight at Fengjiazhuang with his eyes, his face full of horror and stunned. This was not the time to be sad and panicked, and he was already faintly aware of the purpose of the other party's trip. So, the best option at this moment is to leave as soon as possible and make plans later.

But just as he was about to pull Feng Yuyan away, the doll sat on the ground and cried.

"Father! Mother! Grandfather! Where are you all? The house is on fire, come on! ”

After all, Feng Yuyan was only a six-year-old child, and he didn't know what had happened in his family, but when he saw that so many houses in Zhuangzi had been burned, he was anxious to find his dearest person first.

"Don't cry, young master, we have to get out of here now and go back to your parents and grandfather. Come on! ”

Looking at the figure running in the distance, Lao Wu was in a hurry, he understood that the other party was coming for his two people, and now if he didn't escape, he might not have a chance.

So, he pulled Feng Yuyan from the ground and put it on his back, turned around and ran.

However, before he could run far, a huge black shadow rushed from behind him, knocking the old and young people out in an instant.

Lao Wu only felt that the bones in his body seemed to be about to be scattered, and when he sat up with the severe pain on his body, he turned his head and glanced at Feng Yuyan who fell to the ground next to him, this doll was lying there with his eyes closed, and he didn't know life or death.

The black shadow was the black-robed man who had arrived on a black horse, and he was turning his horse's head to approach the two of them. looked at Lao Wu, glanced at Feng Yuyan, who had fallen to the ground on the side, and said lightly: "Take it." ”

A few figures not far away had already rushed to the front of Lao Wu and the others.

Lao Wu looked up at the black-robed man on the horse, and three points of surprise and seven points of anger flashed in his eyes.

"It turned out to be you."

"Yes, it's me."

"You're hiding deep enough that many people wouldn't guess it's you. But ......"

"But what?"

"But you're not the only one who knows how to hide."

"Oh?"

"No Death Method!"
