Volume 1: Kitazawa Volume Chapter 72: Alive
"The idlers and others immediately evacuated the execution ground, prepared for the whipping, and were officially executed in three days!"
The warden shouted, and the sound of the strong drums stirred in the winter rain, striking everyone's hearts and causing a thousand waves. Most of the people present knew Ye Xuan and Tian Qingyang, and now the crime is a capital crime, and the Tian family, which was originally in full swing, has plummeted, and it is really regrettable that such a change is amazing.
Some people even watched Tian Qingyang grow up, and they couldn't believe the current situation. But facts are facts, and even if there is a grievance, there must be evidence.
"Father, do you believe it?"
Before leaving, Tian Qingyang looked at the man and asked blankly, he had done some wrong things and harmed Liu Changqing, but in fact, it was not exactly as he said. Tian Qingyang knew that this time he was planted, and the only thing he still wanted to know was how his father viewed him.
As long as someone believes that he dies, it doesn't matter, Tian Qingyang sees it very openly, he has always been ruthless in doing things and believes in karma, what should come will always come.
He didn't care what the world thought, he just wanted to know what his father thought.
"What are you a waste, why don't you believe it?" The man turned his head and looked at his uncompetitive son with disgust: "The family has worked hard to cultivate you, is it just to let you stab Lou Zi?" The only thing you have done over the years that can be put on the table is to be the fiancé of the county lord of Yuling, and that is the family has bought all kinds of relationships to help you complete. ”
"My Tian family has been in business for seven generations, and the foundation saved by two generations is ruined in your hands. The biggest mistake I've ever done in my life is to marry your mother and give birth to you, and both of you are innocent of death. There will no longer be your mother's and your name on the genealogy, so go underground in three days and make amends to your ancestors and ancestors!"
The man lowered his voice and scolded angrily, brushing his sleeves and leaving.
In the heavy rain, the boy slowly lowered his head, and everything seemed to be quiet. At the moment when the man brushed his sleeves and left, Tian Qingyang seemed to feel as if something had cracked in his heart, and the flood of memory rushed out like an open floodgate.
In the silence, Tian Qingyang seemed to hear the sound of collapse, and then all the sadness in his heart disappeared, and was replaced by a powerlessness that he had never felt before, a feeling that made him unable to even concentrate his consciousness.
"Three hundred lashes, execution!"
The two soldiers dragged the long black whip to the execution ground, the buffalo leather whip was light but tough, and the dark red whip swept across the rain-washed ground, no matter how much the rain washed away, it could not wash away the soaking red.
The blood stains on it had completely soaked the whip and could no longer be washed off.
Tian Qingyang lowered his head, thousands of raindrops fell on the ground, and the drum beat rang out one after another, piercing a thousand holes in Tian Qingyang's heart, and the cold breath had made him forget the pain and numb.
"Kid ......"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's grandmother next to him called the boy, Tian Qingyang turned his head indifferently and looked at the wrinkled face. To his surprise, he did not see a trace of despair on the old man's wrinkled face, and seemed to be completely unafraid of death, as calm as he sat in the winter sun and drank tea.
"I believe you...... You and Xuan'er are both kind children, it's just that your heart is lost. "In the dark night, the old man's eyes were dark and shining, as if they were a bright lamp, shining in the dark night.
The executioner stood behind the two men with a leather whip, and the moment the long whip in his hand waved, the sound of breaking the wind was like the scream of a terrible ghost, turning the rain curtain in two.
"You have to live well, only by living can you have the opportunity to change everything, you are still young. ”
The old man smiled kindly, and his loving gaze shot directly at the bottom of Tian Qingyang's heart, making the boy's numb heart tremble.
Vaguely, the flood of memories takes him to a corner of memory that he himself has forced to forget. He saw the woman in red, the mother who had left him early.
Mother Yueshi was a famous maiko in Tianshui Lou at that time, and a butterfly dance was known as the pearl of the state at that time. Tian Qingyang's father, Tian Gao, often looked for flowers when he was young, and asked Liu to see the Yueshi early. Thirty years ago, the Tianshui Building of the Midyear Festival threw out the fragrant lotus of the Yue's, and the winner could go upstairs and meet with the Yue's.
The Tian family was already wealthy at that time, so they openly robbed with the son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Buhuangzhou at that time, and defeated the son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the competition to win the opportunity of a private meeting, and Tian Qingyang was born a year later.
Tian Gao put the family in danger several times in order to marry the Yue family, and spent a huge price to marry the Yue family despite the family's resistance.
When Tian Qingyang was six years old, there was a strong man in the third reincarnation in his family, to see the famous Light Butterfly Dance back then, the strongest in Beize County at that time was a strong man in the middle of the second reincarnation, he only knew that his father's face was difficult to see.
That night, Tian Qingyang went to find his mother because he didn't want to sleep alone because of the dark, but he saw something he couldn't forget for the rest of his life, he forced himself to forget what he saw, and threw that memory into the corner of his soul.
The next morning, he was still having breakfast with his mother, and at the dinner table, his mother told him to live a good life, not to learn the way of business, to learn the way of cultivation, and to become stronger, so that he would not be bullied. Tian Qingyang only remembered that he only cared about eating meat at that time and vaguely agreed.
As a result, he saw his mother put in the coffin at night, and the red dress was his last memory of his mother.
The family did not make a public announcement or even hold a funeral, everything was handled by his father, Tian Qingyang did not kowtow to the end, and he didn't even know where the grave was, because there was no mother's tombstone in the family's grave group.
In the end, he only remembered the last red group dress, and the light butterfly dance, and that sentence to live.
Now he remembered everything, and the memories that he had forgotten in the corner of his memory, like the flood that opened the floodgates, forced him to face it. It was a cold night, just like today, and it was raining so cold, so cold that I couldn't feel the pain of the whip on my back.
All he could see in his eyes was the kind look and the red dress.
"Xuan'er is gone, I want to hear you call me grandma, okay?" The whip slammed into the old man's body, leaving a painful look on her face. The body that was already half in the ground couldn't withstand such a whipping at all, and even Tian Qingyang knew that only death would greet her.
The boy's vision was blurred, he never shed tears after his mother's death, and he became more and more ruthless and domineering when he began to cultivate frantically, but it was a pity that this time he couldn't kill Yu Bujue earlier, and he couldn't kill the third reincarnation realm powerhouse who came to his family before, as well as ......
All the people who pushed her mother into the coffin!
"Grandma...... I'm sorry...... It's because I didn't kill Yu Bujue sooner, and it hurt you. Tian Qingyang clenched his teeth, his electric purple eyes were full of tears, if he was more decisive, he would be stronger......
"Kid, it's not your fault. You don't have to use a sword to disguise your strength, you're strong in your own right, it's just your heart that you're lost. And now that you've found your way home, go ahead!"
The old man was still smiling kindly, as if no amount of pain could erase the smile on her face.
"Alive......"
"Smack!"
All the voices came back after the old man said the last sentence, the sound of the rain, the sound of whips, the sound of chains, the beat of drums.
The long whip tore through the air and danced a crimson whip flower in the executioner's hand, and whipped it the thin body, and the smile on the old man's face was forever frozen there, and his body hung down weakly and lowered his head, and was quickly robbed of the only remaining temperature by the cold rain.
The old man did not shed a drop of blood from beginning to end, just like the lampstand that had run out of oil, burned out.
"Alive......"
The whip fell like rain, and the only thing that supported Tian Qingyang to endure was these two words that were plain but full of life: alive!
"Tell the city lord, Grandma Ye Xuan is dead!"
The old man had lost his heartbeat, as if he were a dead corpse.
"Throw it away. Bei Tianxiong raised his hand, and the armor quickly went up and dragged the old man's body off the execution platform, and Tian Fu on the side was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes at all. No one dared to move, no one was even willing to collect the body for the old man, even Tian Tie didn't move, he was afraid that Tian Fu would be affected again.
"Uncle Tie, don't you collect the body for grandma?"
"Do you want to kill my little fortune, what if the city lord punishes me again!" Ye Xuan's aunt scolded, completely ignoring that the old man's body was still not far away.
Tian Zhuangzhuang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt that the family was a little sad, sighed and left the scene. The two guards behind him quickly followed, and now Tian Zhuangzhuang is already a personal disciple of the Fengxin clan, and his identity is already different from the past, and it is also necessary to have guards by his side.
"Keep up with the two armorers and look for an opportunity to bring Grandma's body back. ”
"Yes, Young Sect Master!" the guard clenched his fists and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
......
Halfway up the mountain behind Ye Xuan's house, in the heavy rain, Tian Zhuang was digging the grave with a shovel, and the white cloth around him was the body of Ye Xuan's grandmother. The guards followed and found that the soldiers had abandoned the bodies in a mass grave outside the execution ground, and they quickly brought them back after they had gone away.
This is the place where Ye Xuan used to stay, located on a cliff wall protruding from the mountainside, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and can clearly watch the mountains in the distance and the sun and moon rising and setting in the west.
There is also a tomb next to it that he dug for Ye Xuan, which put some of the clothes that Ye Xuan wore and half-finished spiritual weapons, Ye Xuan died in the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm without a physical body, so he could only make a clothed mound, which is why he buried Ye Xuan's grandmother here.
Ye Xuan ...... The brothers are incompetent and can only do so much. After burying the last shovel of loess, Tian Zhuangzhuang sat on the ground and put a bottle of wine in front of Ye Xuan's grave, looking at the mountains swallowed by darkness in the distance and was silent for a long time.
"If you are reincarnated, you will have a little heart and find a good family."
Tian Zhuangzhuang sat for a long time, and when the rain stopped, he quietly left and disappeared into the darkness......
