Chapter 185: A fork in the road

If you have authority, even if you are docile as a sheep, you will be as fierce as a wolf.

The blood sheep suddenly lowered its head, and rushed towards Lu Heng with four hooves, like a red comet.

Lu Heng was fighting hard against monsters that were invisible to others, and he had no time to care about the danger from behind, leaving the most vulnerable side to the enemy.

This is a fatal mistake.

Zhao Huan suddenly saw the blood sheep galloping over, and suddenly panicked in his heart, desperately blocking Lu Heng. Of course, there was no way to stop the Blood Goat, and those sickle-like horns would pierce them both.

But for some reason, Zhao Huan not only did not have a little fear in his heart, but felt extremely peaceful.

Isn't it a kind of happiness to be able to live and die with the people you love?

Zhao Huan closed his eyes. But when she heard the sound of broken bones, she suddenly opened her eyes and was surprised to find that it was not herself who was stabbed by the blood sheep, but her brother Zhao Xuan. The blood sheep pulled out its horns, and the blood flowed all over Zhao Xuan's body like a waterfall.

"Brother!" Zhao Huan cried out in a lost voice.

She was in a lot of confusion, didn't Zhao Xuan use herself as a hostage? Why did she sacrifice her life to save herself?

The bloody sheep also stood aside. It also does not understand the actions of this believer.

Zhao Xuan gasped, feeling that life was leaving him little by little. The past replayed in front of his eyes like a marquee, frozen in that burning night that changed his fate.

On that day, he made a mistake in writing the word "and", and then his father beat him badly, and his heart was full of resentment.

He didn't understand why he was born to be used as someone else's punching bag, to be called around like a dog. The thorn strip was pumped on him, and it hurt him even more. When the weak are persecuted, they often choose to run away or hurt themselves, while the strong are not, and their only recourse is to resist.

The father fell asleep on the table, and his chance came.

There happened to be a Duanzhou purple stone inkstone next to the table. If you want to break a person's skull, it has just the right amount and size.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to the inkstone, only to feel that just holding it would make him feel at ease.

But suddenly, he noticed two eyes staring at him, it turned out to be Ah Huan. Her gaze was so clear that it extinguished the flame of sin in his heart.

"Brother, are you alright?" asked Huan.

Zhao Xuan suddenly felt a burst of guilt, bowed his head and said, "You...... You go outside and have fun. ”

Ah Huan left, and Zhao Xuan's heart was in a mess.

But at this moment, the inkstone was suddenly picked up by a hand and smashed on his head.

Zhao Xuan's eyes were full of stars, and his hands and feet twitched violently.

It turned out that his father woke up and saw that Zhao Xuan was not studying.

He thinks that as long as Zhao Xuan does things other than studying, he has the right to punish him. When this power is met by a small child who will not resist, abuse is almost inevitable.

So although Ah Huan only saw it once, Zhao Xuan was actually beaten twice.

The beast that had been put in the cage was released again, and this time Zhao Xuan would not relent.

So he chopped wood, cooked, and pondered how to take revenge in his heart, and the whole person became gloomy.

He prepared a packet of poison—enough to kill an elephant—but it didn't get into the pot. Poisoning his father, he himself didn't want to live.

But Ah Huan is innocent, she has not seen the beauty of the world, and she should not leave in such a way.

The bag of poison was soaked with sweat several times and was finally thrown into the firewood.

Zhao Xuan didn't know whether this ending was a victory of kindness or a triumph of weakness and reluctance. On the one hand, he was glad that he had not lost his humanity, but he also hated that he was not strong enough. In the midst of this contradiction, he fell into a deep sleep.

But after a while, he smelled something burning.

The house is on fire.

He woke up suddenly and ran towards Ah Huan's room, but Ah Huan was not in the room.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, devouring everything.

Zhao Xuan covered his mouth and nose, and rushed into his father's room, where the fire burned the most.

My father drank a lot of wine that day, and in a ridiculous dream he left with thick smoke.

Zhao Xuan withdrew and continued to look for his sister. When he found the room, he suddenly found two things on the ground: a fire sickle and two flints.

He suddenly remembered that Ah Huan had come in after he left the kitchen just now.

The little girl was stealing food by the pot, but when she left, she accidentally threw the fire-making tool on the hay. Then the fire scattered and made a fire.

At this time, as soon as he turned around, Ah Huan was behind him.

From the look in her eyes, he understood what she was thinking. Zhao Xuan wanted to explain clearly, but he stopped talking.

He couldn't bear to let a child a few years old carry such a heavy load, which would crush her. So Zhao Xuan's gaze became cold, and he held the firearm tightly. From this day forward, if he wants to play a murderer, he must take this role extremely seriously - even with his own life and soul.

This incident had a great impact on both siblings, and they drifted apart on their respective paths.

Although Zhao Xuan did not put his sin into action, he did have such thoughts, so he spent his life seeking redemption.

One night, he ran to the mountains to get rid of the maddening thoughts in his head. Passing a dilapidated temple, he suddenly stopped, and a voice called to him.

Zhao Xuan walked in, and a beautiful woman was enshrined on the altar. But under her coat was a pair of sheep's hooves.

She looked at Zhao Xuan with gentle eyes, as if to say, "I can forgive your sins." Zhao Xuan thought that he had finally found the true meaning of life, so he enshrined her as the supreme belief in his heart.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully a few times, and suddenly the masonry on the ground collapsed downward, and inside was a red sheep's head mask and two daggers. This is the mantle that has been passed down from generation to generation by the priests of the Blood Qiang clan, and now Zhao Xuan has taken it over.

For him, sacrificing blood sheep was the way to salvation.

Of course, he knew the hardships of the road, so he decided to walk it alone. So he never married or had children, until one day he met a woman at a sacrifice.

This woman is graceful, one more point is too fat, and one less point is too thin, and she looks like the goddess in the temple.

She said to Zhao Xuan: "I came with a great mission. You must cooperate with me, priest. ”

Zhao Xuan didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to her. As long as she speaks, she will do whatever she wants.

Fortunately, the woman just asked herself to marry her.

So Zhao Xuan got married, but he couldn't be called a family person. Because he knew that he was marrying a goddess, not a man. He can worship her and burn incense to her, but he must not love her as a husband.

Because that is a blasphemy against idols.

From beginning to end, Zhao Xuan never touched his wife.

A few days later, the disturbing news came from Sweetwater Village: the villagers had been slaughtered in a single day. Zhao Xuan calculated according to the time that the day of the incident was the day when the goddess came to him. He understood that the goddess wanted to hide her whereabouts under the identity of the county lady.

She smiled and said to Zhao Xuan, "Priest, I need sacrifices." The time has come for you to fulfill your duty, and I need more sacrifices. ”

But there are not many people who have committed the most heinous crimes recently, so Zhao Xuan is ready to kill some people who have committed lesser crimes to make up the number. But Zhao Huan stopped him, just like many years ago.

They began to fight wits and courage.

It's just that this time Ah Huan is no longer the little girl in the past, she is keen, wise, fearless, and she also knows a backer named Lu Heng. Zhao Xuan was both relieved and a little sad, because he knew that he would be exposed sooner or later. He even said that he was already looking forward to this moment.

Now, the long road has finally come to an end, and he has nothing to worry about. In the last moments, do you want to tell the truth of that day?

In the firelight, Zhao Xuan's lips moved.

Zhao Huan hurriedly stepped up, only to hear him say, "Yes...... I killed Daddy...... I plead guilty......"

Beloved, there are only two realms for some words: the heart and the grave.

Zhao Huan's heart suddenly swelled with a strange feeling, and she intuitively realized that something was wrong. So she closed her eyes and tried to bring herself into the day of the fire. But at this time, my thoughts were like the rough sea, and I couldn't calm down at all.

She shook Zhao Xuan's shoulder and shouted, "Wait, don't go, tell me what happened that day!"

Zhao Xuan still had a sly smile on his face, but the person was no longer there. Will his soul fly to heaven or to hell? No one knows the answer.

The bonfire rang out, masking Zhao Huan's sobs.

The blood sheep suddenly stood up, shed its fur and horns, and became a woman of peerless beauty.

Zhao Huan raised her teary eyes and said, "Sister-in-law?" After asking this, she lowered her head again and said, "My brother is dead." ”

No matter what strange things happen now, Zhao Huan will not be surprised.

The woman said with regret, "You have lost your brother, and I have lost my best priest." Believe me, I just wanted to get rid of the enemy and didn't intend to kill him. I haven't been with you for long, but I really treat you like family. Zhao Xuan is dead, and I'm sad too......"

She picked up the dagger left by Zhao Xuan and said, "Ah Huan." Let me kill this person named Lu Heng, and then we can continue to live together. I can take your brother's place to take care of you, and be my first priestess if you wish......"

With that, she walked towards Lu Heng quietly and raised her dagger.

At this moment, a voice said, "These brothers and sisters are miserable enough, why don't you let them go?"

But seeing that the sword light was like electricity, Lu Heng's eyes stared at the Blood Goat Goddess with burning eyes.

He had many scars on his body, but he had returned from the invisible battlefield. No one else could see this spectacular scene, countless unknown monsters were slashed by Lu Heng and were falling to the ground one after another.

Corpses filled the sky.

Blood Sheep felt a chill, she had never seen such a powerful warrior. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you're willing to duel me directly, that's great!"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Is there a big buzzard among your companions?"

"What's wrong with him?" asked Bloodsheep warily.

Lu Heng said leisurely: "It's nothing. That day I saw it flying in the sky, and suddenly I was a little displeased, so I swung my sword and cut off its left wing. ”

He smiled, "I can see you're not good at fighting. Of the five Demonic Beasts, you should be the weakest one. The big buscination can't beat me, can you be my opponent?"

The blood sheep suddenly threw away the dagger: "Indeed, I have no chance of winning against you. ”

Lu Heng said: "Well, it's good to admit it, and save me a lot of trouble." If you answer the questions honestly, maybe I'll let you go. ”

The Blood Sheep's face was covered with gloom, but he nodded after all.

"First question, who is the strongest among you?"

A smile appeared at the corner of the blood sheep's mouth: "Of course it's the black dragon, the mighty king of the Huns!"

"What about the second in line?"

"Heavenly wolf, the ancestral spirit of the Xianbei people. ”

"Good. What are you going to do when you come back to earth?

Blood Sheep said, "This sounds like what the black dragon wants to do. But our purpose is by no means the same, and I have my own mission. ”

"Oh, what's your purpose?"

The blood sheep's eyes suddenly showed a look of love, and he stroked his lower abdomen and said, "Give birth to my child." ”

This answer was indeed unexpected. Not only did Lu Heng not expect it, but Zhao Huan didn't expect it either. She asked in surprise, "So...... This kid is ......."

Blood Sheep smiled and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's not your brother's." I've been pregnant since the moment I came. He is the eldest son of darkness and the future demon king. ”

She suddenly looked at Lu Heng coldly: "When he grows up, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant." ”

Lu Heng smiled and did not speak.

The Blood Sheep closed his eyes and said slowly, "On the other side of the 'door', time and space have been distorted. An explosion changed everything. I don't know why, but it's clear that it was a disaster.

The five of us shouldn't have come together in this way. I, for example, should have completed my mission decades ago, but I slept in the dark for too long.

Thankfully, though, the child is still there. As long as he is safe and sound, there is hope. ”

Lu Heng sighed: "Mothers always have too high expectations for their children, but they don't know that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. ”

Blood Sheep said: "I don't know about others, but my child is by no means that kind of straw bag." Then all will prostrate themselves at his feet and make him king. He will sweep across the nations and dominate the universe, and then you will be just one kneeling in the vast sea of people. ”

Lu Heng said: "I hate kneeling the most in my life. That would give me all the more reason to kill him early. ”

He said as he slowly moved his sword over.

The blood sheep's face turned pale, and he closed his eyes and said: "I won't beg for mercy, if I want to kill, I have to listen to the respect!"

From a rational point of view, it is naturally more beneficial for Lu Heng to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but that will undoubtedly wipe out all human nature.

Zhao Huan shouted loudly: "Young Master Lu, even if this kid is a heinous demon in the future, he still has the right to live at this moment. I beg you not to do that!"

The tip of Lu Heng's sword trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because the night wind was too strong or because of himself.

Finally, he put away his sword.

The blood sheep let out a long breath.

Lu Heng said to the blood sheep: "Before the child is born, I will not kill you......"

Before the words fell, Lu Heng suddenly leaned down, he felt an unprecedented sharp pain in his chest, something was breaking through the ground with vigorous vitality.

That's a powerful beat.

At the same time, two eyes in the belly of the blood sheep intersected with Lu Heng. At this moment, they seemed to see their own souls.

The blood sheep also felt it, and she exclaimed, "Who are you?"

But Lu Heng couldn't answer this question anymore, his body was disintegrating piece by piece, turning into flashing dust and passing in the wind.

As you may remember, Sakura Miyuki was like this when she disappeared.

The reason for Lu Heng's disappearance is very simple, that is, in a time and space, anyone can only exist as the "only", if two Lu Heng appear, one of them will be annihilated immediately.

In other words, the blood sheep is Lu Heng's mother, and the child in the belly is Lu Heng.

At the moment when Lu Heng decided to let the baby go, he also saved himself.

However, where did this baby come from, and where did the annihilated Lu Heng go?
