Chapter 4: The Fall of the Xiao Family
The snow is falling and the back is cold, and there are a few people who can be relieved.
The old man looked at the back of the wild running and shook his head helplessly, and said with emotion: It is difficult to become an immortal, it is difficult to enter the Tao, and it is difficult to accept apprentices. After speaking, he said to the donkey under him: Brother walks.
The donkey didn't move at all when he heard this, but just turned his head to look to the side, and the donkey's hooves moved slightly, and he actually bowed his head and ate the snow in a big gulp.
The old man's expression was embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly: It is also difficult to raise a donkey. As he spoke, he opened the wine bottle and took a few sips, and there was an extra green pill in his hand, and the fragrance of the medicine was overflowing.
The brown donkey, who was eating the snow with his head down, smelled the fragrance of the medicine and suddenly raised his head, and screamed frantically at the elixir in the old man's hand.
"Can my brother go?" asked the old man, showing two rows of small white teeth.
Who knew that the donkey actually understood people's words, nodded hurriedly, and looked directly at the green pill in the old man's hand.
The old man smiled helplessly, looked at the green pill in his hand and said with some pain: "At the beginning, I said that it would be one per year, and this one will be counted as next year's share, and you will not lose more than a month before the end of the year."
The donkey didn't like it when he heard this, but he couldn't refuse the temptation of the elixir, and nodded slightly reluctantly. Seeing this, the old man smiled, threw out the elixir in his hand, and the donkey swallowed a very satisfied expression, and his breathing was a little refreshed.
"After eating and working," the old man kicked the donkey in the stomach.
After taking the pill, it seemed to be more powerful, and the donkey walked lightly, stepping forward, step by step, and caught up with Xiao Shaoze who was running wildly in the blink of an eye.
"Young man, your wounds are not healed, and the old man will take you for a ride"
Xiao Shao was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't talk nonsense, he rode on a donkey and said: I'm tired, the Xiao family in the same state.
"Xiao family?" the old man wondered.
"No, you don't even know about the Xiao family. Xiao Shao looked at the old man like an idiot, and pointed the way: Go straight into the city.
The donkey under him actually ran in the direction of Xiao Shaoze's finger, and the surrounding scenery was like a horse lamp, moving back quickly, and the speed was amazing. Xiao Shao sighed lightly, "This donkey seems to understand human speech."
The old man smiled and nodded slightly.
The figures on the city wall of Tongzhou are shaking everywhere, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the city lord's mansion, there are also two masters of Zhang and Shang, and the city gate is closed, as if facing the enemy. Xiao Shaoze's heart tightened, looking at this posture, even if what Zhang Zhongyi said was half-true and half-false, most of the Xiao family had an accident.
Seeing the donkey rushing towards him, the soldiers bravely aimed their bows and crossbows at the city, and when they saw the people coming, they immediately shouted: It's Xiao Shaoze.
Hearing this, everyone stepped forward, and looked at it, and it was indeed the eldest young master of the Xiao family who went out of the city, and there was a white-haired old man. The old man was dressed extremely ordinary, and almost everyone ignored it instantly, looking at Xiao Shaoze.
A fat man in his forties on the city wall touched his black beard and wondered: The lord took Zhongyi and others to chase and kill this son, did you miss it?
The person who spoke was none other than Wang Shan, the lord of Tongzhou City.
The tall man standing beside Wang Shan shook his head slightly, pulled out the saber at his waist and left a word, and jumped down from the city wall. "Kill Yes"
"Zhang Lin" Xiao Shao looked at the man who jumped off and said coldly, his fists were clenched, for some reason a warm current came out of his abdomen, entered the meridians of his arm, and he felt a heat and dryness, and then punched Zhang Lin suddenly.
Bang..
The knife and fist collided out of thin air, and the air was instantly exploded by the internal strength of the two, making a muffled sound. Zhang Lin retreated, his face full of surprise. "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, and cultivate to enter the country. ”
Xiao Shaoze was also confused, just now he actually shook Zhang Lin's sword technique away with a pair of fists, this guy is a strong martial artist.
The old man sitting on the back of the donkey slowly withdrew the palm that was only an inch away from Xiao Shaoze's back and nodded with satisfaction: Yes, the body is barely qualified, and he kicked the donkey under him and said: Brother is in a hurry.
The donkey wanted to lose his temper, but remembered that he had just taken a pill, so he had to give up, raised his front hooves, and kicked Zhang Lin in the chest.
"Beast, you dare to make a mistake" Zhang Lin was furious, the big knife in his hand was cold, and he instantly played a set of knife techniques, and the knife ran towards the donkey's hooves, wanting to cut it off.
Who knew that the seemingly careless kick made him unable to parry as the peak of a martial artist, and the donkey's hooves hit Zhang Lin the chest.
A huge force passed into the body from the chest, and the internal organs were instantly dislocated, Zhang Lin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
All this was seen by Wang Shan on the city wall, and at this moment he had to pay attention to the old man who looked a little ruined and the brown donkey who looked extremely ordinary.
"Draw the crossbow and shoot them"
The officers and soldiers of Tongzhou have been fighting against the giant fish of the endless sea all year round, and their combat power can be imagined, with uniform bows and crossbows and coherent movements. Draw the arrow, draw the bow, launch.
The rain of arrows is like a flood, overwhelming.
Xiao Shao watched the rain of arrows his pupils dilated, and said secretly in his heart: It's over.
Who knew that the old man still looked calm and relaxed, and he didn't see anything in his hand, and an indescribable breath slowly rose, followed by the rain of arrows in the sky, which bent and broke at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is like an immortal's technique, so Xiao Shaoze can't help but think of the first-class immortals in the storyteller's mouth.
"Let's go!" said the old man with a faint smile, and the donkey stepped forward, not seeing how he could enter the city through the city walls. With a bang, there was a big hole in the city wall, and on closer inspection, there were faint traces of two people riding on a donkey, which was a forced intrusion. The donkey kept walking and went straight to Xiao's house.
Wang Shan looked at the donkey that was missing in the blink of an eye, his palms were drenched in cold sweat, and the beads of sweat on his head were low, and he muttered in his mouth: Immortals descend to earth, is this an immortal? Tell Your Majesty quickly, if this matter is not handled properly, it will be closed in the Great Zhou.
It is not uncommon for immortals to be in the Huangzhong Continent, the three major imperial teachers are all immortals, and the four-year immortal ascension conference is also the selection of disciples by the immortals of the upper realm. That is also in a specific place in the continent at a specific time to see the immortals descend to earth, and now the most remote state of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the same state appeared, this is an impossible thing, only can be explained, I am afraid that there will be unknown things happening here.
Shocked to shocked, Xiao Shao only had his father's safety in his heart, whether the clan was built or not. Under the pace of the donkey shrinking into a foot, he arrived at the territory of the Xiao family in the blink of an eye. At this time, Xiao's house has been engulfed in flames, and from the outside, more than half of the buildings in the courtyard have collapsed, and the fire has spread to the entire Xiao family.
"Father" Xiao Shao hurriedly entered, and was deeply stimulated by the scene in front of him when he entered the door. The corpses of the clansmen were all over the ground, and some of the clansmen's bodies were actually chopped into pieces of flesh and scattered all over the ground.
"Impossible, no. Xiao Shao moved forward in a panic, and came to the front of the meeting hall, where was the place where his father held a clan meeting, the courtyard was full of white-haired corpses, these corpses were all masters of the Xiao family, seniors, all martial arts were invulnerable, and they were usually treated as immortals by Xiao Shaoze, but today. These invulnerable masters are dead here.
Following the search for the corpse, Xiao Shaoze's pupils contracted suddenly, and he walked forward quickly, and a strong man in front of him held a silver spear with a golden dragon pattern on it. This is a golden dragon spear made by his mother for his father.
"Father" Xiao Shao walked into the man holding the gun in disbelief, stretched out his trembling palm, and wanted to touch the father who loved him for 16 years and indulged himself for 16 years. The moment the palm touched the corpse, a cold feeling came from the corpse, which made Xiao Shaoze's heart cold.
No.. Holding his father's corpse, Xiao Shao cried, crying so sadly and painfully for the first time. At the same time, looking at the countless corpses around him, one by one, he remembered that these were all clansmen and seniors who usually cursed and hated him. At this moment, for some reason, their faces are not so hateful, on the contrary, they seem so kind, and now Xiao Shao wants to bring them back to life, standing in front of him and cursing himself like before, but unfortunately all this is impossible.
