Chapter 16: The Root of Suffering
Blood Luo seemed to be satisfied with everyone's reaction.
He laughed wildly, "Enjoy the pain, you tiny ants, and the slightly larger ants. ”
With a gesture of his hand, the bubbles on the flag burst with a whistling sound.
For a time, the wind shook violently.
Terrible roars, howls, and seeping sinister laughter spread throughout the sky.
The initial excitement of getting out of the predicament caused them to let out a wild howl, and then they trembled and fell silent in mid-air under a cold snort of Xueluo.
One by one, the translucent ghosts greedily stared at the crowd on the ground, as if they were just waiting for that order to pounce on them and enjoy a flesh-and-blood feast!
They didn't have to wait long, and at the moment when Blood Luo waved his hand, the fierce ghost who had already found a prey let out a burst of sharp howls and galloped away from mid-air.
I saw that the originally dark sky swooped down like dumplings under the black shadows, and in a blink of an eye, I could see Qingming.
At this time, only those who kept kneeling and a woman were left in the square.
The woman was Nanmu, she was holding Nan Shugen's body, looking at the black shadow falling from the sky with a dull expression.
It was a powerful ghost that was transformed into the soul of the root of the South Tree that had been refined by the Ghost Spirit Banner.
There were also three powerful ghosts staring at Zuo Tian, he had fled far away in the previous chaos, but when he saw that Nanmu was still in the square, he couldn't help but stop.
And under the swooping of those powerful ghosts, he also saw that the fierce ghosts that had turned into the roots of the South Tree were landing towards Nanmu.
When the Ghost Spirit Banner was refining the soul of Nanshu Root before, he just watched calmly, watching the distortion of Nanshu Root's soul, all the pain he had experienced, in the silent torture, he also looked at the man and woman.
He wants to remember the pain, he wants to remember them, he wants revenge, so, he has to calm down, he has to live!
But now, seeing that the black shadow had fallen on the square, he watched Nanmu walk towards the black shadow step by step.
"Don't go over!"
Zuo Tian's face changed drastically, he roared and rushed to the square.
Nanmu turned a deaf ear, as if she hadn't heard his words.
"It's interesting. Xueluo looked at the woman on the ground with interest, and then looked at Zuo Tian who was running.
When he came, he had already noticed that the flesh of the soul in his hand was in the woman's arms.
Therefore, he personally ordered the newborn ghost to deal with the woman, but what he didn't expect was that the human monk would care so much.
Like, he's too late.
"Xiuxia, do you remember the evening when you and I first met?"
The red glow in the eyes of the south tree root that the ghost turned into didn't know when it dissipated, and he looked at the woman who came and said with a gentle expression.
"Roots, of course I remember. The woman finally came to the man's side.
The man stretched out his arm and hugged the woman.
"That day, I finally mustered up the courage to confess to you, do you remember? What did I say to you?"
The woman had a bright smile on her face, as if she had returned to the time of the girl, and back to that evening, in the man's arms, the man said affectionately, and now the woman also lightly opened her red lips: "Let's be together forever......"
"Hmph. ”
A muffled grunt came from the woman's mouth, her face still smiling brightly, and her palm caressed the distorted face of the man who held her, affectionate and focused.
"Then we'll be together forever!" the man looked at him as well, the undisguised startle roaring out of his twisted mouth.
It's just that the blood-red eyes have two lines of tears flowing down for some reason.
After all, the woman's hand could not wipe the tears from his face, and when he was separated by a line from that face, he fell forever.
"No!no!no!" Zuo Tian roared in pain, he was still a step too late after all.
The moment Nanshu's roots turned into a powerful ghost's claws pierced the woman's chest, he felt pain again.
Only this time there was no change.
Zuo Tian didn't know if he was heartbroken for himself or Nan Shugen or Nan Mu, or for the betrayal between love and love in the world.
Although it was not Nan Shu's original will, he also saw the unswerving divine brilliance in Nan Mu.
Nanmu already knew that he was no longer his, but she still threw herself into his arms like a moth to a flame.
Where is the source of suffering.
The root of the pain is that the tragedy is happening in front of him, but he has no power to change him.
It's like the kid who was burned.
And the mother of the child, the crazy woman.
That evening, the firelight shone on everyone.
She walked on her knees in front of the villagers, who either dodged, frolicked, or threatened to burn her to death along with the monster child.
She didn't give up and begged everyone to help her, to help her save her children, and she told those people that her children were not youkai.
When she knelt in front of his husband and begged him to save their child, what made her kneel without dignity, blood flowing from her head?
When she knelt in front of Zuo Tian, Zuo Tian was timid, he didn't dare to help this woman, he didn't dare to go out and bear their wrath, he was afraid, afraid that they would throw him into the fire like that child, he was afraid of death.
Until the crazy woman knelt in front of him again, he was still afraid, afraid to take that responsibility.
He deceived himself again and again, deceived his eyes, and all the people that the woman begged for had a look of insensitivity on their faces.
So he was so angry that day after the woman knelt down, she once again brought back his bad memories, and he spewed the blood of the woman scolding.
Now that the woman had become a plaything in the village, he should have known about the end.
What is the source of the pain.
The root of the pain is not a lack of courage, but a lack of strength to change.
Those three powerful ghosts have caught up with Zuo Tian and are about to kill the killer.
In a scolding, the ghost disappeared silently in the voice, leaving no trace.
Zuo Tian's gaze turned to the blood Luo in the air in confusion.
"Whoever enters the square, don't kill!" the cold voice spread out, echoing throughout the South Village.
Only then did Zuo Tian realize that he was standing in the square.
Without the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, he looked at the back that was still holding the posture of his arms, and the smiling woman who passed through his transparent body.
"Blood Luo, you can kill them all with one palm, why do you want to play with them. The woman in white spoke at this time, her voice seemed to have a hint of emotion, but she quickly regained her coldness.
"Hehe, what I want for the Ghost Spirit Banner is not a group of souls without the slightest spirituality at all, you just have to watch carefully, the show has just begun. "Blood Luo looked at the powerful ghost that the root of the South Tree turned into with strange eyes, and seemed to have found some rare treasure.
When the spirits leapt from the sky like tigers to kill the villagers, no human was their unanimous enemy.
In the process of refining, the soul will be washed away of its own humanity and only leave the killing instinct to obey the owner of the ghost spirit flag.
Therefore, after seeing that the soul of Nan Shugen could transform into a powerful ghost that could change its appearance before its death to confuse humans, Xueluo was pleasantly surprised, because it had a cunning that other powerful ghosts did not have.
With the spread of powerful ghosts, Nancun is completely on the verge of destruction, and those who hide in the house cannot escape the ghosts that are sensitive to anger on people.
Zhang Tie ran out of the village in a panic with the hunting team and some villagers, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they stopped.
I saw hundreds of green shadow wolves as dense as the soldiers in the military camp in the earthly world, squatting neatly on the road that must pass through the village.
It's hard to imagine how these brutes could be so well trained.
A white-headed wolf, smaller than an adult green shadow wolf, stood in front of all the green shadow wolves.
That's their king.
The wolf king's eyes did not have the tyranny and ferocity of the green shadow wolf, and the green eyes were full of agility.
Its anthropomorphic eyes were fixed on the fleeing humans.
Zhang Tie saw in the eyes of this wolf king, it was a look of contempt.
"Roar!"
The wolf king raised his head and roared, his voice long and quiet, and the green shadow wolf responded.
Suddenly, shock, horror, and despair crept across the faces of the fleeing crowd.
Zhang Tie's eyes froze, and only then did he notice that under the claws of the wolf king, there was a human head.
That was the head of Zhang Baolin, who was on duty at the entrance of the village today.
His face was terrified, and his eyes widened, as if he had experienced something terrible before he died.
From his body down, all of them were gone, and the ground was only a mess.
These brutes!
Zhang Tie's eyes trembled, no wonder he was not afraid of them escaping, it turned out that it was impossible for them to escape.
There are green shadow wolves in front, and there are powerful ghosts in the back.
Desperate, his heart was like ashes, and the cries of the villagers came from behind him.
Nancun, it's over.
He sat still.
Zhang Tie is a smart person, just now the man and the woman did not have any words to hide, and he knew that the two were not human beings.
It's just that he hasn't been exposed to that world yet, so he doesn't know what most of their words mean.
But he knew that those were secrets that belonged to the high-level, for example, there were high-level people in the village, and there were secrets.
And whoever accidentally hears the secret will die, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Therefore, he did not stop after escaping from the square, and fled towards the outside of the village with the hunting party around him and the villagers who joined along the road.
But he never imagined that there would be such a killing machine outside the village.
"Whoever enters the square, don't kill it!"
Just then, the voice of Blood Luo came from the village square.
Zhang Tie stood up suddenly, and hope rekindled in his eyes.
