A man, an old horse, a man in white is angry, and his face is handsome.

The old horse was clumsy, his hooves were badly worn, and his eyes were cloudy and dead.

The man also knew that the old horse's time was approaching, so on this vast plain, it chose a slow pace to accompany him.

The man took out a compass and turned the needle on it, eventually pointing north.

"Let's go, let's go again, old friend, for the sake of you being with me all these years, I will find you a great place to stay. ”

He led the old horse and went on.

After walking for five days, he went out of the plains, into the mountains, and into the rivers and streams.

When he came to a rock wall in the middle of a mountain, the old horse could no longer walk, panting violently, and refused to go any more despite the man's full strength.

In desperation, the man compromised: "Rest, old horse, let's go again, and we'll be there in one day's journey." ”

Looking at the clear spring flowing under the stone wall, the man said again: "You wait, I'll fetch you some water." ”

So saying, he went down to the clear spring, and after a few sips, he folded a few leaves at the water's edge, and made a bowl of water, and when he came back, he saw that the old horse was lying on the ground, and that he was not breathing.

The man sighed lightly, glanced at the surrounding terrain, frowned, and said, "Old Ma, although this place is good, it is too dangerous for me, your body is too big, how can I move?"

"Forget it! ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his palm and rubbed against the rough stone wall, this seemingly smooth but rough stone wall was three zhang wide and ten zhang high, and the flesh and blood rubbed against the stone wall, and he inhaled cool air, and three bright red blood stains on the stone wall came out along his three fingers.

This process of self-harm is not something that anyone can do, even this man is quite difficult.

He felt the tips of his three fingers had been smoothed out, and he could faintly feel the impact between the finger bones and the protrusions above the stone wall between the piercing pain.

Yes, it's impact.

He felt like a hard hammer was pounding, hitting his fingers.

After a long time, he finally scratched his fingers across the stone wall.

Standing outside the stone wall, he used his index finger to write a word in the void, and the air that his fingertips crossed, the blood stains soaked in it, condensed into a count, and after writing, he saw that he waved his sleeve, and the blood-colored count flew towards the three blood bars on the stone wall.

But the man turned around and ran away, panicked, and rushed forward, even if there was a mountain road.

When the blood-colored word hit the three blood bars on the stone wall, the mountain seemed to tremble, very slightly, and it was difficult to detect it under carelessness, but the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests were never careless, and no matter how slight the sound was, it was difficult to escape their perception, and all kinds of birds and beasts roared, confirming the existence of the slight noise just now.

With a dull loud bang in the mountains, the man fled faster, and the stone wall behind him shattered, completely hiding the old horse's corpse underneath.

The lower layer of the heavy mountain lost the support of the huge stone wall, and suddenly it was difficult to bear the weight, and collapsed, affecting the whole body.

The ability to destroy the world could not be more appropriate to describe the power of the collapse of the mountain at this moment.

Fortunately, the man was fine, mainly because he escaped fast enough, but this was enough to scare him into almost collapse, and of course excessive blood loss was also one thing.

The man slumped on the ground, staring at the shattered mountain in the distance.

He was also a little stunned, and only after a long time did he say: "Old Ma, you should feel honored, you can let me count Jiang for you to use this supreme Taoist technique, this is the reward you have paid for more than 30 years with my father and me! I will pray for you to have a good birth in the next life." ”

In the depths of this endless mountain, there are few people, but fortunately, this mountain collapse and earth cracking, the scene of destroying the world has not yet been known to be done by this man named Shujiang, and who can understand that this consequence is only the result of the three blood bars he painted on the stone wall?

Who is he?

Shu Jiang is now alone, walking a little aimlessly, he wants to be isolated from the world, because his mission is too heavy, he doesn't want to shoulder it.

Suddenly he felt hungry, and he saw a path in the mountain before, indicating that there must be a family or village near this mountain, because he used the power of reversal of the universe before, directly destroying the mountain path, but I don't know if this will affect the villagers near this mountain.

However, he felt fortunate that there was a small river at the foot of the mountain, which was not cut off by the mud and rocks of the landslide, and it was not difficult for him to make a small boat that could carry people from dead wood, which was not difficult for him to live independently for a long time, and after half an hour, he used the small boat to go down the river.

The river in the mountains sometimes flowed so fast that he almost fell into the river several times, but fortunately the river was not deep, and he clung to the dilapidated boat so that it would not enter the water completely, but even then he was still soaked.

After the clumsy boat lasted for an hour, it finally dispersed under the impact of the river, and the river had no choice but to go ashore on foot.

There was no way to find the rugged mountain road, and when the sun went down, he finally found a village, small in scale, just a dozen families, at least a place to settle down at night.

Entering the village, I heard the sound of dogs barking and roosters, and three or two women stood at the entrance of the village, looking forward to it, and when they saw the arrival of the strange man Shujiang, they were all a little vigilant.

"The younger generation's surname is Jiang's name, passing by your village, I wonder if a few aunts can inform the elders of your village that they can allow the younger generation to borrow a place to rest for a night?"

Suan Jiang would never reveal his name to strangers.

"Ginger and garlic, hehe, little brother, your name is really interesting, you look like a person who can eat. However, it is unfortunate that you came today, the village chief took the men of the village into the mountains to hunt, and he has not yet returned. It's really worrying. ”

A woman laughed and joked about the name of the counter, but she was a little worried when she looked at the sky.

Listening to the woman's words, Shu Jiang felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked, "Well, that's really a pity, but I don't know where they went hunting?"

The other woman pointed in the direction in which Jiang had come, and said, "They went to the north before dawn in the morning, and it stands to reason that they should have come back a long time ago at this time, but today is somehow a long time late." ”

When Shu Jiang heard this, his brows furrowed, and his right hand pinched his fingers in his sleeve, and his heart sank.

The direction of the village chief should be the mountain where he buried the old horse, in order to let the dead old horse have a complete resting place, but he never calculated whether there were people in the mountain, not that he couldn't count, but he took it for granted that there was no one in this mountain, but he made such a big mistake, it seems that he can't go into the village to rest tonight.

The evening breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness to the early autumn nights.

A woman in front of her suddenly coughed violently, her face was unnaturally flushed, her breath was disordered, she looked at her, this woman was very young, she was only ten years old, her body was slender and weak, and the size of several sisters-in-law on the side could not be compared at all, but it was a terminal illness, and within five years, this woman would die.

"Oh, Xiaoqin! Go back quickly! Don't blow the cool breeze, I'm sick again. A woman said distressed and helpless.

"I'm going to wait for Daddy to come back. The woman named Xiaoqin said stubbornly.

It's just that her voice is so hoarse, even a little ugly.

"Look at you girl, sisters, go back quickly, it's not early, Xiaoqin, the third aunt will get you a dress, wait and go back to rest!ah!"

After speaking, the woman said to Xuan Jiang again: "Little brother, I'm really embarrassed, the men in the village have gone out to hunt, and it's really not good to entertain you." ”

"I understand that it doesn't matter, the weather in early autumn is quite mild and not in the way. ”

Since Shu Jiang knew that the man in the village had not returned and might have something to do with him, he had no intention of going into the village to rest, and his heart was full of guilt.

The woman named Xiaoqin was still sitting under the tree at the head of the village and waiting, but Shu Jiang ignored it, while he picked up a bunch of dead leaves, slept at the entrance of the village, and fell asleep.

The night wind hit, a burst of coolness, woke him up again, the blue moon was hazy, the stars were all over, it was late at night, the night lights in the village were holographic, but under the clear moonlight, Suanjiang found that the woman named Xiaoqin was still waiting, but she had fallen asleep.

In her sleep, she whispered in her dreams, and after listening to it a few times, she heard her calling her father and mother in her dreams, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Suan Jiang suddenly felt that she was very pitiful, and pinched her fingers again, and all the life experiences of this woman named Xiaoqin were already clear.

For ordinary people, Shujiang usually doesn't care so much, because the price paid is not worth it.

This woman named Xiaoqin is indeed pitiful, born frail and sickly, her mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her, leaving her and her father to depend on each other, but she is frail and sickly and needs to take medicine all year round to continue her life, relying on her father's hunting income, she can barely make a living.

But now that her father has not returned late at night, the worry in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, although her appearance is acceptable, but in this era when both men and women live by physical strength, few men dare to marry her, so that she still can't marry in the double decade, if her father has an accident, who will raise her?

Even if Jiang Jiang is getting more and more difficult to sleep, the place where the old horse is buried is really not good for himself!

There was a sudden strange noise in the night outside the village, and Shu Jiang opened his eyes and was alert.

In the jungle outside the village, a long black shadow appeared in the cyan moonlight, it was a giant python, a five-zhang long body, a bucket-thick waist, not for decades, this monster could not grow, it is not difficult to imagine how much disaster this guy will be in the village.

The giant python probably found Xiaoqin sitting under the tree at the entrance of the village, and slowly crawled over, probably not wanting to wake her up, even if Jiang got up and walked quickly to Xiaoqin, he was not worried, but this giant python was not inferior to the strength of the king rank, and Xiaoqin, who had a weak physique, couldn't stand the blow of the giant python at all.

"Hey, wake up, wake up. Shu Jiang patted Xiaoqin's face and found that this woman's face was hot, and she actually had a high fever and slapped her face, which could only make her confused.

"You... What are you going to do? ”

The weak Xiaoqin suddenly saw a man patting her face, she understood the reason that men and women could not kiss, but at this moment her throat hurt and her whole body was weak.

"Run, go home, you're sick, it's dangerous now. Shu Jiang pushed her and wanted her to leave quickly.

But at this moment, Xiaoqin's state is very difficult to even push him away, and getting up is even more delusional, how can he escape.
