Volume 1: The Stream Millennia Volume 1, Chapter 23, The True Coming of Darkness

The moonlight sprinkled on Feng Yueyi's body, and Sun Zikai was in the dark, the one who understood Sun Zikai best at this moment should belong to the yellow-haired giant beast, it could feel the killing intent looming in the darkness, it guessed that the devilish boy was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and the life and death of that girl were also taken into account by the results of the choice.

Feng Yueyi was too young to feel malice, and walked towards Sun Zikai, carefully bypassing the claws of the giant beast, and the moonlight seemed to follow her, and when she got closer, she asked again: "Why don't you speak, you are a disciple of the outer sect, how can you be in the first garden?" ”

Sun Zikai chose to speak, but did not move, which made the beast on the side breathe a sigh of relief, and he asked rhetorically: "I obviously perceived that a little beast was leaning over, why would it be you?" ”

"I know hieroglyphics." After that, Feng Yueyi turned into a deer.

Sun Zikai sighed at the subtlety of this technique, after transforming into a beast, even the vitality and energy of a person became a beast.

Feng Yueyi said innocently: "You haven't answered me yet, where did you come in from, and how did you tame this beast?" This is the descendant of the Qian, a high-level beast, a person below the seventh stage of Qi training, and he can't even eat one of its claws. ”

At this time, Sun Zikai felt that it would be good if he could master the technique of erasing the other party's memory, and after weighing it, he did not choose to do it to Feng Yueyi, but said lightly: "This is a secret, can you keep it secret for me?" ”

Feng Yueyi paused for a moment and said, "I can keep it a secret, but you have to teach me how to tame it." ”

"I also found it by accident, this guy seems to like to eat ......" Sun Zikai's eyes swept around, but he couldn't find a suitable substitute, and finally could only touch a piece of bread from his arms, "Yes, it likes to eat bread." ”

"Huh?" Feng Yueyi said suspiciously, "It eats meat, and it eats people!" ”

"Really, believe it or not." Sun Zikai stretched out the bread to the beast's mouth, the thin cake was not as long as a beast's teeth, and the beast's eyes were puzzled, but it also felt Sun Zikai's murderous gaze, and the beast immediately opened its mouth and carefully licked away the sesame-like bread with its tongue.

The acting skills of the beast are very exaggerated, eating a sesame seed, but it seems to have eaten a big meal, rolling happily on the ground, and it looks very obedient.

"That's a ...... That's great! Feng Yueyi shouted excitedly, "It turns out that you can tame the beast with flour!" I'm going to tell Master to go! ”

Sun Zikai grabbed her and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to keep a secret for me?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll just say I found it myself."

"It's only useful for this beast, it's useless for the others."

"That's a big discovery, by the way, what's your name?"

Sun Zikai hesitated for a moment and replied, "My name is Sun Zikai." ”

"Oh, Sun Zikai, thank you, goodbye!" Feng Yueyi turned into a fawn and immediately ran into the black forest.

Sun Zikai was speechless, and after standing for a while, he looked at the yellow-haired beast lying on the ground and said, "Pretend, understand?" ”

The beast snorted twice and nodded.

Sun Zikai realized that it would not be easy to enter Xianyuan in the future, so he didn't care about exposure that night, and wantonly searched for beasts in the black forest to extract blood, and the blood stained the black forest red, and Sun Zikai was also refining again and again, constantly improving his strength.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Zikai returned to Anshengju, Jiang Yujin just went out and asked, "You didn't come back last night?" ”

"Yes, I practiced in the forest, and I won't go in the future."

"Why not?"

"The quenching body has reached its limit again, and the blood of the beast can no longer allow me to go further." Relying on the nourishment of the beast's blood for many days, Sun Zikai quenched the essence of blood to the sixth layer, and at this time, his strength had reached two thousand and forty-eight times the limit strength of an adult.

Jiang Yujin wanted to study the technique he brought back yesterday, but Sun Zikai said that he had something to do immediately, and he hurried out of the door as soon as he entered.

In the early morning in the Ancestral Garden, a group of elders and inner disciples broke in, Wu Lanmu personally came to the scene, caught the yellow-haired beast, and they prepared three baskets of bread and placed them in front of the beast.

The beast remembered the threat of the devil last night, and could only continue to pretend to like to eat bread, how could the meat-eating mouth endure the tasteless bread, it could not chew it, and could only swallow it desperately.

Wu Lanmu also opened her eyes and said: "It's a strange thing, you little girl really didn't tell a lie, look at it, you are all crying happily." ”

"Yes, yes," Feng Yueyi said, "I didn't believe it last night, until he showed me a demonstration, and I didn't believe it!" ”

"Oh?" Wu Lanmu pointed a jade finger at Feng Yueyi's head and said, "Girl, didn't you say that you found it yourself?" ”

"Oops!" Feng Yueyi covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything, Master, you didn't hear anything." ”

"You guy, you can't lie when you're young, you can't keep your mouth talking, I knew you were lying to me last night!"

"No, no, hey, Master, I promised people not to say it, don't ask again."

"I know his name is Yoo Seung-beom!"

"No, his name is Sun Zikai." After Feng Yueyi finished speaking, she realized that she had been fooled, and directly leaned her head and lay on the ground in a large shape, "Oops, I promised people not to say it, Master, you hate it!" ”

An elder hurriedly ran over and said, "Sect Master, there was a group battle here last night, all the big beasts were injured, and the forest in the western part was stained red with blood. ”

"How many died?"

"None of them died, they were all injured."

Wu Lanmu snorted suspiciously, and the elder said: "The subordinates also feel incredible, look at the injury of the beast, the battle last night should have been fierce, but there was no trace of a fight in the forest." ”

"I know, in the past two days, send more people to keep an eye on the beasts in the middle of the Xianyuan, and also, send someone to investigate a person named Sun Zikai in the inner gate, who may be an elder or a disciple."

As Wu Lanmu spoke, she paid attention to Feng Yueyi's expression lying on the ground, and when she saw Feng Yueyi's flashing cunning, she immediately changed the conversation and said, "It shouldn't be the inner door, it's the outer door." ”

Feng Yueyi sighed, Wu Lan hooked the corners of her mouth triumphantly, she bent down, grabbed Feng Yueyi's clothes and lifted her in front of her, without saying anything, her eyes seemed to be smiling and evil.

Feng Yueyi pouted, her eyes glanced away, her face flushed, and she said, "I don't know anything." ”

"He's an elder?" Wu Lanmu said calmly.

"I don't know anything." Feng Yueyi never dared to look into her master's eyes.

"He's a disciple!"

"Ahh No, no, no! ”

Wu Lanmu frowned and straightened up, his tone was reproachful, and he said coldly to the elder: "Why can the outer disciples enter the Ancestral Garden? ”

"This ......," the elder didn't know how to answer, and only said after a while, "It's impossible...... The people from the outer door broke in and couldn't live to this position. ”

"Immediately go and check on the outer disciples, that guy named Sun Zikai, bring him to me!"

"Yes!" The elder immediately ran away with his three disciples.

Feng Yueyi's face was so red that she was smoking, her eyes were dizzy, and she was lying on the ground, she cried: "Master, how can you be like this, I promised people not to say it." ”

"You said it yourself."

"Woo woo woo ......"

It is said that Sun Zikai walked all the way, and soon rushed to the outer gate of Yanmingzong in the west, and the four pavilions in the east part of the repair office are Gu, Ming, Bo, and Yuan, and the west is all medicine pavilions.

Sun Zikai expected that he would be in big trouble immediately, so he had to bring forward the schedule of that matter.

He kept inquiring about the western retreat, and when it was almost noon, he finally found out the name.

Sun Zikai stepped into the courtyard and saw many women holding water chestnuts and sifting medicinal herbs, they have been busy here for many years, and they have long been accustomed to the smell of medicine, and a big black pot in the courtyard is boiling a fishy medicinal soup, looking into the soup, a toad the size of a dog is turning its belly.

The smoke was billowing out, and it was not a trivial matter to get into the eyes, so everyone covered it with a fine veil, and Sun Zikai stepped into it, and the women did not react to this outsider.

After searching for a long time, Sun Zikai finally stopped in front of a person, who was sifting medicinal flowers and didn't take the person next to him seriously.

Sun Zikai called softly: "Aunt Ying." ”

The woman didn't hear it, Sun Zikai shouted a few more times, Xu is sieve in the courtyard was too noisy, the woman never heard it, Sun Zikai had to pull her and scream again.

The woman couldn't let go of the work in her hand, so she only turned her head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Aunt Ying."

"What medicine?"

Sun Zikai shouted loudly: "Aunt Ying! Is it Aoi Young? Aunt Ying! ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at Sun Zikai, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Xiao Kai, Sun Zikai."

The water chestnut fell to the ground, and the medicine flower shattered.

"Who?"

"Sun Zikai, it's me, Aunt Ying."

"Little ...... Kai? You, you've grown so big, you... How did you end up here? ”

After half a pillar of incense...

The hut was a foot and a half wide, with only one bed, and the roof was high, and the walls were nailed with many planks, and there were all kinds of miscellaneous things, and there was no place to settle on the ground, and everything that could be stuffed into it was stuffed, and when you turned around, you had to touch the clothes that were hanging. There was only one window, a foot wide and high, and it was only at noon that could make the room brighter.

It's really depressing to live in such a narrow place, but there are still two people living here.

Sun Zikai sat on the edge of the bed in a regular manner, waiting quietly, and soon after, the door opened, and the woman came in with two three-tier lunch boxes, and said: "Your uncle can't come back at noon, let's not wait for him, let's eat." ”

Lift a plank from the ground and place it horizontally on a nail sticking out of the wall, and this is the dining table, which happens to be only two stools.

The woman said, "Be careful not to get pricked, your uncle has pierced his head several times, come here, eat." ”

Sun Zikai walked over and sat on the stool, the woman took out the food, divided the chopsticks, and Sun Zikai buried his head in eating.

The last time we met, it was in that rain, eight years have passed, the woman is thirty-two years old, her skin is either yellowed by medicine, her eyes are still a little sunken, her hands and arms have scars left by medicine, and her figure is out of shape.

The woman sandwiched a piece of meat for Sun Zikai, and Sun Zikai ate very relaxed, as if he was eating with his mother's mother's family.

"I thought you were living in the city, I really didn't expect you to be able to enter the sect and enter the cultivation office, were you favored by which elder?"

Sun Zikai said with his food in his mouth: "I earned the quota by myself. ”

"Earn? How do you earn, who wants you to work when you are so young? ”

Sun Zikai swallowed and said, "Aunt Ying, not long after I separated from you last time, I went to 'Ansheng Pass' and killed six or seven barbarians outside 'Ansheng Pass'." ”

"Can you still kill a barbarian? You don't want to die. ”

"It's simple, it's not that difficult, you go to the Fourteen Cities to inquire, my name is still very loud." Sun Zikai has never boasted to others like this, maybe he hasn't regarded himself as a child for a long time.

"Can you still make money by killing barbarians?"

"It's not money, it's military merit, killing one person is one, killing enough four hundred people can enter the sect."

The woman was surprised: "You killed four hundred people? Impossible. ”

"I've killed thousands."

The woman smiled gently, naturally she wouldn't believe it, Sun Zikai saw that she didn't believe it, so she simply buried her head in the rice.

After eating happily, Sun Zikai wiped his mouth and said, "Aunt Ying, aren't you panicking when you live here with your uncle?" I can't even see the sun. ”

The woman smiled: "I only come back at night when I go to bed, and the rest of the time I spend in the pharmacy." ”

"Is that also a form of practice?"

The woman laughed at herself: "What kind of cultivation is labor, in fact, there is no distinction between cultivation and miscellaneous in the west, it is all the workshop of Your Excellency Yao." ”

"If you don't practice, what are you doing here?"

The woman also opened the conversation box and said, "At the beginning, the people who came in were all here for cultivation, they recruited people from the city, and as soon as we heard that we could practice, we all hurried to come, and then they went to the trap, and they said that they came in and asked for money, it doesn't matter if there is no, let us pay the IOU, and we will pay it back sooner or later." As soon as we thought about it, we could enter the sect without having to pay for it ourselves, so we all came. At the beginning, he also took us around the place of cultivation, taught us to breathe and quench the body, and then divided us into various medicine courtyards, and after we stayed, we found that living, eating, and wearing all cost money, and the things in the sect are still very expensive, and we work and make medicines every day, and the money is just enough, if we eat better, there will be no money left, and if we do less, there will be no money left, and if we do more, we will not be able to practice, and no one will care about our cultivation anymore, so gradually, we will become pure laborers. ”

"Then run."

The woman smiled bitterly: "At first, I thought about running, but people caught you and beat you, and then people didn't care about you, because you couldn't run, how could the people who dragged their families and families easily give up this job of eating, just save the money and leave it to the cubs in the city." ”

"Do you have a baby?"

"Hmm" the woman's eyes showed a look, "three years old, you should really look at him, fat, like a leather ball, his body is soft, and his legs are really strong." ”

Sun Zikai laughed, and then asked: "It turns out that this is the situation in the sect, it's really appalling, this is a cannibalistic place." ”

The woman shook her head and said: "It has nothing to do with the sect, it's the Ma family, the Yanming Sect's medicine sect is about to be eaten by the Ma family, their power has taken root for many years, and they have turned half of the Yan Mingzong into their own medicine shop, everyone said that within fifty years, Yan Mingzong will be the Ma family, and the trap to trick people in the city into coming in as laborers is made by the Ma family. In fact, the sect can't help it, the Ma family is too powerful, they can only look at the smoky medicine sect and stare dryly. ”

"I see, I see." Sun Zikai changed his words and asked straight to the point: "Does my father's death have anything to do with the Ma family?" ”

The woman was stunned, she couldn't say anything in the face of the five-year-old child many years ago, but at this moment, this thirteen-year-old boy was actually still a child.

Sun Zikai said: "I remember that my mother mentioned it to my father before leaving home, I heard it vaguely, but I heard my mother complain about the Ma family, listen to you say this, my father and mother should also be laborers, most of them also live in this hut, laborers are valuable when they live, and they can decide their life and death, only the Ma family, you didn't tell me back then, it is estimated that it was also forced by the obscenity of the Ma family, I am still the same question back then, how can a little person like my father and mother be able to turn them to die?" ”

The woman wanted to speak and stopped, obviously knowing the truth, but she was still afraid of something, Sun Zikai said indifferently: "After so many years, Aunt Ying, I have long been psychologically prepared, whether my father's death is wronged and hated, I know it in my heart, Aunt Ying, you don't have to be afraid of the threat of the Ma family, because they will not keep us people in mind, even if my father and mother die unjustly, they are still small people, small roles, they have long forgotten." ”

Aunt Ying nodded, she wanted to say it, but looking at Sun Zikai's face, she couldn't bear it, Sun Zikai immediately understood what the woman meant, and said: "Aunt Ying, I haven't thought I've been a child for a long time, fighting with wild beasts, surviving under the knife of a barbarian, I have experienced no less than you, don't worry about what reckless things I will do, otherwise I won't live until now, tell Aunt Ying, how did my father and mother die." ”

"He was killed by the Ma family." After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to pour out all the worries and sufferings of eight years, she shed tears, covered her eyes, said it again, and then shouted again, kept talking, kept talking...

Sun Zikai listened calmly, until a long time later, the woman raised her head with swollen eyes, and what she saw was still that indifferent and immature face.

Sun Zikai said: "How did you kill it." ”

The woman opened her memories and said: "Your father and mother are actually very perceptive, our group of people, only the two of them have not given up their practice, they were just taught to breath and quench their bodies once, and they practiced while groping, working in the pharmacy during the day, and practicing in this room at night, and really broke through to the level of condensation, and they were also transferred to the upper pharmacy to do work, there are elders in the pharmacy, he never had a good face, and he beat your mother from time to time, and your father went to stop him, and he was beaten together, just like that, your father still gritted his teeth and endured it." Because by following the elders, they can find the way to practice. ”

"What's the elder's name, and where is he now?"

"Han Lei" the woman said hatefully, "I can't forget this name, your mother was beaten by him once and lost a child, you... You don't know, you should have a younger brother or sister. ”

Sun Zikai's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and let the woman continue.

"Later, he climbed up to the Ma family, went to the inner gate, and was sent to the back of the ridge to see the south gate, which is the gate we climbed up from the city to see, it was a beautiful errand, half a year ago suddenly quit the sect, as if he went to the front of the ridge to enter the city to settle down, and also got rich, someone spread the news, saying that he got a big gold brick out of nowhere, which made him willing to give up the status of the elder of the inner gate and live the life of the people."

Sun Zikai's face was terrifyingly quiet, he moved his body, and said, "Well, remember, Han Lei, Guangjin City, and then." ”

"Why did Han Lei climb up to the Ma family, it was because of the big event that year, the medicine sect and the Heavenly Medicine Sect hundreds of miles west of Lingqian planned to jointly hold a medicine meeting, and the location was chosen in the Heavenly Medicine Sect, which required a large number of entourage, Han Lei reported the names of all the people in the pharmacy, and the Ma family even brought us laborers, saying that it was to open our eyes, but in fact, it was to be slaves."

The woman continued: "On the third day of the medicine meeting, the big names suddenly wanted to compete, and as a result, during the competition, a female disciple of the Medicine Sect accidentally killed a disciple of the Heavenly Medicine Sect. I heard that the big people were very unhappy, the Heavenly Medicine Sect felt that they had been hurt and made a lot of unpleasant trouble, and the Medicine Sect sent a lot of good things in private, which eliminated the fire of others, but the meaning of the people is that we also have to die, and they are good disciples who die, for the sake of good things, let's just die. ”

"The big men of the Ma family are reluctant to let go of their inner disciples, they are worried, Han Lei ran to the people, sold all the people in his pharmacy who practiced qi, and specially arranged a good show for the Ma family, he intimidated those female disciples, saying that the Ma family planned to hand over one of them to death, they were not lightly frightened, and listened to Han Lei knocking on the side, saying that the adult is a good woman, who accompanies the family is comfortable, maybe it will be fine, that night, there is a beginning, it can't be stopped, it doesn't matter if you drag the family with you, It doesn't matter if you are a yellow flower girl or not, you all want to live, and you all enter the room of the Ma family, only your mother refuses to go in, she came back that night and told me, it is just such a room, a man is lying on the bed, and the room is full of naked women. Your mother would rather die than obey, so the Ma family chose your mother to die, and even your father chose it, and it was called a good pair. ”

The woman began to cry again, her voice trembled, and said: "Your father and mother died miserably, they died right in front of my eyes, they only cultivated to the Qi cultivation period, how can they compete with the people after the foundation was built, your father was cut off his hands and feet, pulled out his head and killed him on the spot, your mother... You're a mother... The three female disciples of the Heavenly Medicine Sect knocked your mother unconscious, stabbed her awake again, released the six black dogs they had raised with medicine, and tore her alive, ahh

Sun Zikai's face was still so calm, he pushed the woman's arm and asked, "Does the sect care?" ”

The woman said hysterically: "Later, we learned that this medicine meeting was organized by the Ma family itself, and the sect didn't know at all, the competition where your father and mother died, only dozens of people on both sides and our slaves saw it, and no one else knew it, your mother didn't enter the Ma family's house that night, and she came back and explained the aftermath to me, child, your father and mother were so scared back then, so afraid that they forgot to leave you some words." ”

The woman was in pain, Sun Zikai also thought of what happened later, it must have been Han Lei, who was a Majia eagle dog, who intimidated the people who saw this incident to keep it a secret, so this matter was not known to outsiders, he actually secretly inquired about the name of his father and mother, and no one remembered them at all.

"Aunt Ying, don't cry yet, do you remember the name of the Ma family?"

The woman recalled carefully and said, "We can't get in touch with those big people, but I seem to have heard the name of that person, called ...... Ma Guanzheng, it is said that he has an elder brother, and the medicine club was made by the two brothers back then. ”

Sun Zikai nodded and said, "Think about it carefully, is there anything else or details you can tell me?" ”

The woman thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "No." ”

Sun Zikai took out the ten taels of silver from his arms and put them on the table, his expression was still flat, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ying, thank you for telling me the truth." ”

"Kid, there's nothing we can do."

"I know it in my heart, don't worry, I will live well." Sun Zikai squeezed out a smile, "I have to go back first, I still have something to do, I will come to see you and my uncle again." ”

"Xiao Kai!" The woman stood up and said, "Don't hold back, don't be impulsive, oh yes, there is a tomb in the sect, and there is a tablet for your father and mother." ”

Sun Zikai turned around, nodded, thanked him, and then left quickly, this time, it was the woman who chased out, but she didn't see the child's figure again, she squatted down and cried.

In the evening, the boy walked into the city.

The largest mansion in Guangjin City is the most magnificent symbolic building in the city.

Today, the door that never closes is suddenly closed.

Han Lei had just written a good pair of words in the study, and suddenly felt that it was quiet outside, and he couldn't help shouting: "Cui'er, come to the pot of tea." ”

After not seeing a response for a long time, Han Lei was annoyed, dropped his pen, kicked the door out, there was no figure outside the door, and after a few breaths, he suddenly became weak and fell down. When he woke up, he found himself sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, the table was gone, and it was dark, no, it wasn't dark, it was pure darkness, and he was in the darkness, and he saw the darkness coming.

He saw a figure, hidden in the darkness, but it was instantly terrified.

"Brother... Brother, which one are you? Han Lei thought about all the enemies in his memory, in fact, he really didn't have many enemies, otherwise, he wouldn't have settled here openly.

His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he saw clearly that the man was actually a young man, and he was still a little familiar, and the young man was playing with a ball in his hand, a ball? It turned out to be a human head, Han Lei felt the cold to the bone, he was unusually awake at the moment, but he didn't have any strength, and he couldn't even lift his hands.

Finally, he found out again that it was his newborn child's head.

"Bastard! Which are you! Do you dare to say it? ”

The boy's hand burst into flames, and the skull was burned to the ground, and with a slight grasp, it shattered. The young man turned around, and Han Lei finally saw it clearly.

"Yes, it's you?"

"Is the gold spent?"

"You... Are you here for the money? Okay, okay, I'll give you all the money back, you go first, I'll give it tomorrow. ”

Sun Zikai walked into the darkness, and soon dragged out a person, who was paralyzed in fright and called the master.

Han Lei recognized that it was the concubine he had just married, the cold light flashed, the woman's head fell to the ground, Han Lei opened his mouth wide, and there was no sound for a long time.

He walked into the darkness again, pulled out a person, and Han Lei shouted, "Dad? ”

As soon as he finished shouting, the head fell to the ground, and the blood crawled quietly on the ground, like countless ghost claws, grabbing Han Lei's feet.

Into the darkness, out of the darkness, into the darkness, out of the darkness......

All the people in this mansion were dragged out one by one, and their heads were piled up all over the house.

Then there are dogs, cats, fish... The body is thrown out, and the head is left in the house.

Han Lei couldn't shout a word, he was scared stupid, he finally saw the devil-like person, holding a knife and walking towards him, he was afraid, so frightened that a special air flow was formed, Sun Zikai sensed that breath, absorbed, devoured, and blew, it was the breath of fear, it was the evil thought of losing mercy, the sky in the city was dark, and he would no longer regain his sight.

One yard to one yard, Sun Zikai asked first: "What about the gold." ”

"Flowey... spent. ”

"How much is left?"

"Left... There's a lot left, in... On the ground... Storehouse. ”

"Oh, remember Sun—" he said his father's name.

"Remember... Remember. ”

"Oh, I'm their son." Sun Zikai grabbed his neck, the flames gushed out, penetrating his skin little by little, his throat was scorched, Han Lei couldn't shout, the flames pierced through, penetrating Han Lei's soul, Sun Zikai vaguely felt countless calls to the sound, it seemed to be a hot soul, yes, the soul of fire.

The boy tortured him all night, until the breath of fear forced his soul to escape, and the blooming soul of fire continued a new round of torture... Early in the morning, Sun Zikai returned to the sect, and the mansion in that city was only opened once later, and it was never opened again.
