Chapter 4 "Farewell to Loved Ones"
There are only a few dozen families in Lianhua Village at the foot of the mountain, who make a living by chopping firewood, hunting, plowing the fields and cultivating the land on weekdays, and have been living a life without fighting with the world for many years. It seems that such a stable life will continue as always.
At noon that day, the boys were still hunting in the mountains and had not returned. There are many people gathered in the family surnamed Lu, and if you look closely, it is the middle-aged men and women who lived in the village together more than ten years ago. Everyone sat around with solemn faces.
The man sitting in the center of the hall was quite old and had an old face. This person's name is Lu Xianming, and he is the backbone of everyone.
He spoke: "I think everyone has sensed that something has been strange lately. There was a slight demonic energy flowing in the air, and even the beasts in the mountains became bloody and furious. Everyone should know what this means. Sixth brother, you can tell you about the news you got in Enron City. ”
The man known as the sixth brother on the side said: "I have been very careful to hide my whereabouts when I went to Enron City this time, but I accidentally found that I was still being followed by the people of the Demon Realm. ”
"Looking at the slight flow of demonic energy around the village now, I'm afraid that they are already ambushed nearby. I thought we had to inform everyone as soon as possible, whether it was against the enemy or withdrawing, so that we could have time to prepare. Who knows...... Hey, everyone, look!"
As he spoke, the sixth brother pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing his arm. I saw a line of words written on my arm: "The old man of the wind candle is ghostly, and he will come to see you today." ”
Everyone gasped and was shocked!
"Sixth brother, the words on your arm!"
"That ghostly old puppet is so profound! ”
A woman said: "In this way, it is impossible for us to escape." I'm afraid that the demon world is still coming for the Jizo Ghost Seal this time. This is the territory of the Falling God Gate, if they are raising their masters, aren't they afraid of the Falling God Gate?"
The sixth brother replied: "I don't know about this, maybe they have other ways." ”
A middle-aged man sitting in a corner, with a beard on his face, and his madness exposed. He said: "The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, and these old dogs in the demon world are fighting, it's a big deal to lose this life!"
Lu Xianming said: "It doesn't matter if we take our lives, but we suffer those children, and those villagers are also innocent people." ”
Everyone was silent for a long time, and then Lu Xianming said: "Everyone, listen to me, we have three things to do right now, one is to evacuate the villagers here, and the other is to let the servants leave through the secret passage with the children, and then scatter and flee." The third is that the ghost seal needs to be handed over to one of the children to take away. ”
Another woman said in horror: "I can't help it! The weight of the Yin Qi of the Ghost Seal is unique in heaven and earth, and if we have cultivated for many years, we can only resist it." If you let the child take it with you, not only will you be eaten by it, but I am afraid that you will not live for a few years!"
Lu Xianming sighed: "I don't know, but I'm afraid we won't be able to escape today." Our family has been guarding the ghost seal for so many years, and now that the deadline is approaching, if we let the demon realm take it away now, won't our years of hard work be ruined!"
He continued: "My son is the oldest and has the highest cultivation, so let him go out with the ghost seal, maybe he can escape the tracking of the demon world." ”
Another dark-skinned man stood up excitedly and said, "Big brother, no! My Haoran child's cultivation is also good, and he can also bring the ghost seal." Big brother has taken care of us for so many years, we can't let your child suffer anymore!"
The bearded man also stood up and said, "My family is also quite capable, and he can also bring the ghost seal!" For a while, everyone was fighting and unwilling to back down.
At this time, the man known as the sixth brother said: "Brothers and sisters, we have been friends for so many years, and neither of us wants the other to sacrifice, I know this. But I'm sure everyone understands who the best person is. ”
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, although your children all have some cultivation, I'm afraid they can't hide the aura of the ghost seal, and if they escape soon, they will definitely be chased by the breath of the demon world. Fourth brother, fifth brother and seventh brother, your children are too young to have half of their martial arts. Only my Xiaohai can rely on his eyes to hide the aura of the ghost seal. ”
"Only in this way can the Demon Realm not be able to discover the Ghost Seal, even if they know that it is in the child, everyone scatters and flees, and it is expected that the Demon Realm will not be able to tell which one it is. That's the best way to go!"
"What's more, the ghost seal is my family's thing, and it should have been guarded by my family, and I feel very guilty for having affected my brothers and sisters for so many years. Today has come to this point, and I can no longer let everyone suffer for me. Speaking of which, it is reasonable for my family Chenhai to take away the ghost seal!"
The others still wanted to speak, but he waved his sleeves and said, "Don't say it anymore, the ghost seal must be brought out by my Xiaohai, and there is no other way!"
The crowd spoke no more, except for lamentations.
The sixth brother whispered to a woman beside him, "Momiji, do you blame me? ”
The woman was the wife of the sixth brother, and she whispered: "I don't blame you, a good man is not afraid of responsibility." It's just that this kid suffers. ”
The sixth brother gently held the red leaves in his arms and stopped talking, but his eyes were not a little red.
............
In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and several teenagers went home separately. Chen Hai stepped into the house, a man and a woman were sitting in the house, this pair of men and women were Zhou Qingfeng, the sixth brother of the Lu family, and his wife Hongye.
Zhou Chenhai said happily: "Daddy, mother, today I went up the mountain with Viagra and them to hunt." You know what? They've subdued the wild boar that has been dominating the mountains. If it hadn't come out later and snatched the wild boar, we would have wild boar to eat tonight! That snake is so big, I have never seen such a big snake, and there is such a big monster in the mountains......
Chen Hai said to himself, not noticing how his parents were today. Momiji gently took Tatsumi into his arms.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chen Hai was puzzled, but he didn't want to leave his mother's warm embrace.
After a while, Zhou Qingfeng pulled Chen Hai in front of him and said, "Xiaohai, my father wants to give you something." As he spoke, he took out a small jade seal from his body.
This jade seal is one and a half inches high, one inch long and wide, the seal of the four sides, the runes are carved around the body, the bottom of the seal is engraved with four ancient characters of unknown meaning, and the four little ghosts step on the seal seal to hold a jade bead, which is crystal clear, smooth and round.
This is a small jade seal with exquisite carving, but people can't like it, just because of the ghost spirit revealed on this jade seal.
Zhou Qingfeng found a thin rope and tied it to the jade seal and hung it around Chen Hai's neck. He said: "Xiaohai, no matter what time you want in the future, you have to take it with you, so that you can keep it alive." Don't let anyone know, let alone let others take it. Do you understand?"
Zhou Chenhai seemed to understand, tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded heavily and said: "What my father confessed, I will definitely do it, and protect it with my life!"
Zhou Qingfeng's heart was shocked, he couldn't imagine that his son would say such a thing, he was moved and distressed.
Zhou Qingfeng straightened up and shouted out of the door: "Uncle Li!" An old man with white hair and a slightly rickety figure walked in.
Zhou Qingfeng said to Uncle Li: "Take Xiaohai away!"
Uncle Li walked up to Chen Hai and hugged Chen Hai: "Xiao Hai, it's time for us to go." ”
Zhou Chenhai was a little strange and said, "Grandpa Li, where are we going?" I don't want to go out again today, I want to be with my father." ”
Hongye stroked Chenhai's head and said lovingly: "Xiaohai is obedient, you go out with Grandpa Li to play." Daddy is going to do something very important, and I can't take you with me. We'll come back and pick you up when we're done, okay?"
Zhou Chenhai said: "No, I want to stay with my father." ”
Zhou Qingfeng and Hongye looked at Chen Hai, their eyes full of love and distress. How could they bear to leave the young Chenhai behind.
Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Xiaohai, is it okay for my father and mother to make an agreement with you?"
Zhou Chenhai asked, "What agreement?"
Zhou Qingfeng paused and said seriously: "Listen to Xiaohai, from now on, you have to live happily, be a frank man, do no evil, pursue all good, be strong in trouble, and don't give up lightly." Remember what Daddy just said, as long as you do what you say, the better you do, the sooner your Daddy will come to pick you up, okay?"
Chen Hai said: "Okay, the child remembers." Then you have to come and pick me up sooner. Say yes!"
Zhou Qingfeng nodded lightly, his warm gaze stayed on Chen Hai, he hoped to look at Chen Hai for a while longer, hoping that there would be a little more time.
I don't know how long it took, he walked up to Uncle Li and whispered to him: "To the east, go up to Maitreya Mountain, find my friend, the wine and meat monk, he will protect you." It's a long way to go, so be careful. Time is running out, let's go. ”
Uncle Li said: "The old slave will take Chenhai away, and he will definitely take care of Xiaohai in the future, and live up to the trust of the owner." The owner and his wife, take care!"
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he hugged Chen Hai and ran into a room in the house without looking back. Uncle Li kicked three times somewhere in the corner, and a staircase that extended downward appeared in the center of the room, and it was pitch black inside. Uncle Li flashed in with Chenhai in his arms, and disappeared without a trace.
Momiji couldn't support it anymore, and his body went limp. Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly picked up the red leaves. It took a long time for Momiji to stabilize his mind.
She said, "He's so small, will he take good care of himself? We are not with him, what does he want us to do? He couldn't eat his favorite sugar gourd. As he spoke, tears fell like beads of broken threads.
"We are sorry for Xiaohai, and we hope that God can bless him. After Hongye finished speaking, he leaned his head on Zhou Qingfeng's arms and kept sobbing.
Zhou Qingfeng hugged the red leaves tightly and said, "God will definitely bless our children!" The two hugged each other tightly like this, enjoying this last time. The sun is already drifting westward.
