Chapter Forty-Seven: Killing the Good and Risking the Merit

Outside, the fire grew.

Through the cracks between the blades of grass, Shen Yun saw a tragic scene!

More than a dozen immortal rune soldiers held torches in one hand and big knives in the other, riding horses to chase the scurrying crowd and slash horizontally and vertically.

Under the cold light, the blood line soared. Those who ran slowly, young and old, died one after another under the long knife like leeks that had been cut.

However, those immortal rune soldiers did not stop.

They laughed wildly and continued to chase after the fleeing people.

Batch after batch of fleeing people were cut down by them indiscriminately.

In the air, the pungent smell of blood quickly dispersed.

Shen Yun squatted in the dirt cave, breathless from the smoke.

Was Niutouao Village also slaughtered in this way? He covered his mouth and nose vigorously, and tears could not stop pouring out.

Unarmed people are completely defenseless in the face of iron hooves. They instinctively fled to the stone pile where there were no immortal runes.

However, the strongest men who ran the fastest did not escape. They eventually collapsed about a dozen paces away from the rubble.

Nearly 100 people who fled were slaughtered by the immortal rune soldiers.

There is not a single live mouth!

"You guys, cut off the heads! You guys, go and pile up the corpses. A ringleader-like immortal rune soldier shouted, "You go around and look around, if there is any living mouth." ”

"Yes. More than a dozen immortal rune soldiers jumped off their horses one after another and acted separately.

Shen Yun saw it very clearly, these people raised their knives and unceremoniously cut off the heads of young and middle-aged men, like gourds, all hanging on their waists.

A few others dragged the headless corpses together with the corpses of the elderly, children, and women, and piled them up. When they saw purses and jewelry, they took them off with a big smile and put them in their arms.

In front of these corpses, these demons have no scruples. Shen Yun saw that an immortal rune soldier cut off the hand of the female corpse without hesitation in order to take off the silver bracelet on the wrist of a middle-aged female corpse. The sticky silver bracelet rolled off, and he picked it up, casually wiped it on the clothes of a corpse next to him, and put it in his arms.

Shen Yun only felt a tightening in his stomach first, and then gastric juice tumbling like boiling water. Tears and snot flowed together. He covered his mouth vigorously, desperately trying to suppress the urge to vomit.

More than a dozen immortal rune soldiers worked together and were skilled, obviously not the first time they had done this kind of thing. Talking and laughing, the corpses of nearly 100 people were disposed of and piled up into a hill in the open space next to the well platform.

The little leader walked over, took out a yellow rune paper from his bosom, pinched it in his hand and raised it, and at the same time muttered words in his mouth.

"Whoa-", a blue flame rose from the yellow rune paper.

The little leader threw the burning yellow rune paper onto the mountain of corpses.

An eerie blue-black flame suddenly rose. The mountain of corpses was set on fire. The corpses rolled up like pieces of paper.

The immortal rune soldiers who scattered to search reported one after another: "There is nothing missing." ”

"Report the number, how many heads have been collected in this pile?" The blue-black firelight reflected the little leader's face blue, like the blue-faced and fanged little ghost in the City God Temple.

The immortal rune soldier he pointed at quickly replied, "Twenty-nine." ”

The little boss chirped: "Damn, I've been busy all night, just like that!"

Another immortal talisman soldier flatteringly pointed to the noisy southwest: "Captain, this time the three teams are not kind, and they have driven all the fat sheep to their territory. Shall we go over and do a favor?"

"Lao Gu is right!"

"The mighty battalion robbed the sheep on our side, and we snatched it back!"

The others were babbling and yelling.

In just a few words, the mountain of corpses has been burned to the ground, and there is not even ash left.

The little leader looked at the southwest and spat again: "Get on the horse and rob the fuck!"

"Oh ho!" more than a dozen immortal rune soldiers scrambled to fly on their horses, raised the long knives in their hands, and swooped down to the southwest.

The firelight was far away, and it was dark outside.

In the soil cave, Shen Yun's back was already wet. Temporarily escaping, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and sat on the ground weakly.

It's too ferocious! These immortal rune soldiers are simply not human, they are a thousand times more ferocious than beasts, ten thousand times more ferocious! The demons and monsters in the drama are nothing more than that!

About half an hour later, the screaming from the southwest also stopped.

Shen Yun knew that the people over there had also been slaughtered.

And then, what will happen to the animals? With his back pressed against the cave wall, his heart was in his throat again.

"Jin Laocai, you fucking cross the line and rob my sheep!" someone was scolding.

"Fuck you, it's obvious that you grabbed it first!" The little boss was not ambiguous, and opened his mouth to scold back.

"Shut it all up!" the night owl-like voice sounded again, "Do the work first! No one is allowed to quarrel again! If you quarrel again, all the heads will be returned to the public! Don't even think about getting a little merit!"

So, the quarrel stopped abruptly.

"Search, search for Lao Tzu! There is no one left alive!" was still the voice of the night owl, "Search carefully." Missing a live mouth, Lao Tzu will skin you!"

"Yes!" the sound of messy footsteps scattered in all directions.

Shen Yun only felt the cold sweat on his back come down again.

Don't look for it! Don't look for it...... He prayed in his heart.

"Ahh......h There are men and women......

Suddenly, it was lively outside again.

"It's a woman!"

"Run over there!"

"Stop!"

The shouts of several immortal rune soldiers were chaotic from far and near.

Immediately after, Shen Yun heard a rush of footsteps outside the cave.

"Plop!" a dark shadow fell to the entrance of the cave.

His eyes widened in horror.

It's Hong Jingu!

She was sweating profusely, her hair was disheveled, and she was extremely embarrassed. Still holding a sweet chick in his arms. The latter's mouth was tightly covered, and his round eyes were full of horror.

Hong Jingu didn't expect to see Hong Yun.

She panted, stuffed the sweet girl into the dirt hole at lightning speed, lowered her voice and pleaded: "Please, Brother Yun!" With that, she slammed up and fled desperately in the other direction.

"Over there!"

"Chase!"

Two immortal runes chased after him with torches.

The sweet girl left her familiar embrace and grinned, about to cry when she saw it.

Shen Yun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat again, and quickly covered her mouth with his hand, suppressed his voice in his throat and persuaded him: "Tiantian, don't cry!

"Wow-woo-woo-woo......" The cry still leaked from between his fingers.

What to do! This cry will surely summon the animals over! By then, both of them will die!

Shen Yun was so anxious that he was about to cry!

"Please, don't cry!"

The sweet girl was already small, and she was completely frightened, where could she hear it? She cried while desperately struggling to throw herself out of the hole: "Mother-"

Shen Yun had no choice but to hug her tightly.

In the panic, the sweet girl hit his chest with a dull pain.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that he still had a piece of sugar cake in his arms. I remember one time, Tian Tian also cried non-stop. Brother Song just coaxed her with a piece of sugar cake.

So, he quickly took it out, brought the piece of sugar cake to Tianniu's mouth, and whispered: "Tiantian, eat sugar cake." ”

Maybe it was because she smelled a familiar smell, Tiantian immediately quieted down and gently swallowed the sugar cake.

Thank God!

Shen Yun let out a long breath and shook off a cold sweat.

"Hey, I just heard a cry in front of me!"

In an instant, Shen Yun only felt that his mind was blank.

This time, it's dead! That was his only thought.

Fortunately, the sweet girl was too young, unaware that death was approaching, with sugar cake in her mouth, lying quietly in his arms.

Outside, another voice questioned, "Are you hallucinating? Why haven't I heard anything?"

"Oh, maybe the wind blows the leaves. The same voice from before said again.

"Let's go, the well is full of yin. ”

The footsteps faded away, and after a while, there was a deathly silence again.

"Whew-", Shen Yun seemed to have picked up another life. No, it's two lives. Thanks to the candy cake that had been bitten! He was very glad to see the sweet girl in his arms.

Well, after only a few words, this girl is asleep!

Sweet girl lies in his arms and sleeps soundly. There were tears on his little face, and he still had the candy cake in his mouth.

Shen Yun was really envious of her.

After a few startles, he was exhausted by the toss. However, I don't know if the animals will come next. At the same time, I don't know if the sweet girl will wake up suddenly and cry to find her mother. Therefore, he didn't dare to sleep, so he could only cheer up and hold on.

Little by little, time passed. The screams outside grew quieter. I don't know how long it took, but there was no screaming outside.

After a long time, he heard a voice like a night owl shouting: "Withdraw!"

Then, the sound of horses' hooves tapping and trampling faded away.

He still didn't dare to move.

The cattle had not yet set fire to the village! With the tragedy of Niutouao Village in front of him, he did not dare to move - behind the earthen cave was a bare and steep slope. In front is a pile of rubble. If the cattle set fire to the village, the fire would not be able to burn.

Still afraid to sleep.

After calming down, Shen Yun leaned against the cave wall and pondered about tonight's events.

Why did the immortal rune soldiers slaughter the fleeing people? Why did they cut off the heads of young men and take them all away? Instead of the heads of old people, women, and children? Also, the yellow rune paper used by the little leader to burn the corpse was the legendary fairy rune? A small piece of paper turned out to be more powerful than fire oil!

Turning over and over again, reminiscing about the conversation of the animals. He probably had some answers in mind:

First of all, the cattle seem to be exchanging their heads for merit. And only the heads of young men can be exchanged for meritorious deeds.

Secondly, their leader repeatedly stressed that they could not leave a living mouth, indicating that they did not want the news of tonight's events to get out.

Thinking about this, the anger in Shen Yun's heart gushed upward: Could it be that the villagers of Niutouao Village also suffered because of this! Dad, and the uncles in the village, they were also cut off like this, and they were exchanged for meritorious service by the animals!

They don't want people to know, I'm going to get out alive and tell the world!

The brutality of the animals must be brought to the fore!

We must not allow so many unjust souls to die in vain!

If in the past, Shen Yun only hated the group of immortal rune soldiers who slaughtered Niutouao Village, then now, he hated the entire group of immortal rune soldiers!

There was a bold guess in his heart: killing innocent people in exchange for meritorious service might be the style of the entire Immortal Fu Soldier.

It was these animals that ruined his home, ruined Niutouao Village, and ruined the happiness of thousands of innocent people!

They should all go to the underworld and get out of the oil pot!

Shen Yun hated the entire Immortal Rune Soldier from the bottom of his heart!
